Woman Will Take Back Cheating Husband If He Gets 10,000 Likes
A guy named Ivan Lewis in North Carolina put a photo up on Facebook last week holding up a piece of paper that says, "I cheated on my wife!!! (And she was ugly!!!)" And the caption says his wife will forgive him and take him back if that photo gets 10,000 "LIKES".
Things have been rocky for Ivan and Sonya for a while. According to other Facebook posts, they've been separated for two years. But the stunt worked... and the photo has gotten over 14,000 likes. Yesterday, Ivan posted a thank you to everyone who liked the photo and said, "I'm not going to stop until I get her back."

Game 1 Slips Away From Beavers
Down to its last strike in the top of the ninth, the Kansas State Wildcats refused to lose and rallied with a pair of two-out hits to tie the game 2-2. K-State then scored four runs in the top of the tenth and beat Oregon State 6-2 in the first game of the Corvallis Super Regional at Goss Stadium.
Pac-12 Player of the Year Michael Conforto laced an 0-2 pitch for a 2-run homer in the fourth to account for all of OSU's scoring. It gave the Beavers a 2-0 lead, but the Wildcats rallied and managed to post their first extra-inning victory of the season.
Kansas State, playing in its first Super-Regional game in program history, improved to 45-17, the 45 wins extending the school record.
Jake Matthys worked the final two innings for Kansas State and picked up the victory to improve his record to 9-1.
The two teams play again Sunday at 7:05 pm. Oregon State must win to force a decisive Game 3 on Monday. If Kansas State wins, the Wildcats will head to the College World Series for the first time.

Not a day goes by that Jon White doesn't think back to April 26, 2006.
Every time he looks in the mirror, he sees the scars on his chest, a reminder of glass shards that cut into his skin. And every day, he suffers from pain as a result of a broken leg and ankle he suffered after his then-wife crashed her sports-utility vehicle through the Salt Lake County office building, where he worked, and hit him twice.
Similarly, not a day goes by that Brenda White doesn't think back to that same day.
Her morning routine once filled with caring for her two daughters is now vastly different, a daily reminder that a mistake made nearly seven years ago cost her the custody of her children.
On Tuesday, White, 37, was sentenced to probation and a year in jail for her actions that day.
Prosecutors and Jon White asked the judge for prison time. Brenda White's attorney, Jason Schatz, requested 90 days in jail and probation.
But 3rd District Judge William Barrett told an audience that overflowed the courtroom in support of both defendant and victim that he hoped his sentence would make no one happy.
"I was flip-flopping all over the place," Barrett said of his decision. "She needs to be punished for what she did, but the question in my mind is, should she go to prison?"
Ultimately, Barrett suspended potential one-to-15-year prison terms in favor of 36 months probation and 365 days in jail.
White also must complete 300 hours of community service, pay $24,000 in restitution, and reimburse the state Office for Victims of Crime $5,745. 41.
A trial in August ended in a mistrial after someone claimed to have overheard three jurors discussing the case in an elevator.
Instead of re-trying the case which was delayed for years while Brenda White appealed Barrett's refusal to let her defense claim of extreme emotional distress prosecutors settled it with a plea deal, and she pleaded guilty to aggravated assault and criminal mischief, both second-degree felonies. She was initially charged with first-degree felony attempted murder and criminal mischief.
During the short-lived August trial, Brenda White admitted injuring Jon White, but testified she was under the influence of anti-anxiety medication at the time and had blacked out before crashing through the building.
On Tuesday, Jon White told Barrett he suffered 10 years of physical and verbal abuse at the hands of his wife prior to the incident. She had punched him, pulled his hair out and called him names, he said, adding that the car attack "was not a one-time incident."
Jon White said that on April 26, his wife came to his office at Woodland Towers building, near 4100 South and 700 East, and threatened him, telling him that she pictured his face at the shooting range, then made a shooting motion at him with her hand.
Brenda White later returned as he was leaving work, and chased him back into the building by driving her Ford Explorer through the glass doors and into the lobby, according to testimony. The SUV struck the man, causing him to flop over the vehicle and fall to the floor. The couple have since divorced.
Brenda White offered an apology Tuesday to her ex-husband, other people in his office building that day, and the friends and family who supported her. Over 30 people, with yellow ribbons pinned to their chest, came to Tuesday's sentencing in support of Brenda White.
"This is not something I'm proud of," she told the judge. "I know they [her family] aren't proud of me either."

NFL preseason games are coming under increased scrutiny this year as replacement officials fill in for the locked-out referees.
But the league is using its latest labor impasse to make some history.
MORE: Replacement refs get off to bumbling start
The San Diego Chargers-Green Bay Packers game Thursday night will be the first to have a female official on the field.
Shannon Eastin, a veteran of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference, will be the pioneer and perhaps an inspiration for others to follow.
Eastin, who has reffed football games for 16 years (the past four in the MEAC) will serve as the line judge.
The NFL confirmed the development Monday.
It would seem this is a culmination of Eastin's dreams, whether it's a temporary gig or one she can eventually parlay into more permanent employment.
"It may sound crazy to some people, but I think I can be in the NFL some day. I told them that I would go referee in the NFL Europe league for five years if that's what it takes," she told The Arizona Republic in 1999, after she'd already begun establishing her reputation in the interscholastic ranks.
"You've got to believe in yourself. If you don't, nobody else will."
She also indicated sexism shouldn't be a factor provided she's doing her job at a high level.
"I think that if a coach sees you working hard, making sharp calls, that they will respect you no matter who you are," she said in the 1999 interview. "You can't hesitate. You have tohave a court presence and a field presence."
The Bolts-Pack game will be televised at 8 p.m. ET on ESPN.
Nate Davis is a reporter, blogger and editor who's been at USA TODAY since 2000. He has covered the NFL since 2005. No, he did not play quarterback for Ball State. Davis' succession of our esteemed colleague Sean Leahy at The Huddle is considered a Brady-for-Bledsoe swap by most "insiders."More about Nate

text: I knew I had a problem with rocks on site 1 deer food plot. It was late but we wanted to combine the rye off the field first and see if our old early 60's Oliver combine would work. It wasn't real thick but we got 3/4 bag of rye off of it. My brother Tommy operating. https://www.facebook.com/video/video.ph ... 3409949147 There were way too many rocks in it to be able to plow, disk or rotill it. So had to use a set of brillion spring tooth harrows on it. I'm surprised I didn't break them. It was bringing my 65 hp Massey tractor to a complicate stop and I was having to lift them move forward a few feet and drop them again. Since I knew I wasn't going to pick them by hand I bought a 66" wildkat rock bucket with teeth for the skid steer. It has a vertical 3/8 steel plate every three inches so it collects the 3" and bigger rocks and lets the dirt fall out. One part I messed up on is that I should have worked up the ground a few times over a month or two. All the plant stems really plugged it up and wouldn't let the dirt fall out. Technique wise I am still trying to figure out the best way. I found out real quick filling the bucket and trying to shake the dirt out doesn't work real well. The best way I have found so far it to push forward a foot or so until I have a pile of dirt and rocks at the end of the bucket and roll it back hard. The rocks will fly to the back of the bucket and most of the dirt will fall out. Also trying to get the bucket more than 1/3 full just takes way too much work. The dirt sits on top of the rocks and doesn't fall out very well. With the technique I have so far it definitely works better with a hydrostatic machine. It would be a whole lot more work if I had to clutch and shift. As well as a lot of wear and tear on a clutch. I am really glad I got the teeth on the bucket. It really helps pry up the rocks. And it penetrates rocky piles better than my Case W14 wheel loader that weights 10000 lbs more that the skid steer. It also works great for split firewood. When using a regular bucket I always get a bunch of dirt and gravel when I get a scoop of wood. With this most of the dirt and wood chips fall right out. When I first got my grapple bucket I was ask how it worked with firewood so I went out and tried it. And the answer was not very well. Splits were constantly falling out and getting scattered all over the place. Out of this little area. I got this pile of rocks. It doesn't look too big but its a good 6' high. Once I got the bigger area worked up. I found it was a lot faster to use the dump truck so I didn't have to travel as far with my 1/3 bucket load of rocks. All together I spend three long days working up the ground and picking the rocks. I got 7, 1/2 dump truck loads of of rock out of the bigger area and dumped them in the gravel pit. But forgot to take a picture of it. The old blue truck is so tall I couldn't dump the bucket when I got much more than a 1/2 load in the truck. It was amazing to me the size of the rocks the spring tooth's pulled up. But finally on the 14th I had all my brassicas in and waiting on rain. The only thing I didn't do was fertilize. I didn't want to try to mix it in and bring up more rocks. Hopefully I can be up just before a good rain so I can spread it and have the rain soak it in. But I think its looking pretty good. And the reason for all the work? Billy


text: The good news for Pamela Anderson is that her marriage to Rick Salomon this time lasted three times longer then it did the first time. Pamela filed for divorce yesterday after six months of marriage. Their previous union lasted two months. So, the next time they marry, I guess they will finally crack that year barrier. The first marriage happened after Rick famously paid off Pamela's gambling tab by exchanging sex with her for the debt. That was true love for sure. The second marriage has been filled with as much drama as the first but I think Pamela got tired of always coming in second or third place to all of the other women in Rick's life. I mean he is a well paid gambler and who wouldn't jump at the chance to have sex with a guy who has had unprotected sex with Paris Hilton and even recorded it for the world to see. This makes Pamela's 33rd divorce, and only three husbands. I figure Pamela is actually due for about three or four more marriages before she is finished or gets it right.

(Great Clips CEO Rhoda Olsen is the sixth female executive to be profiled in our series highlighting women in business.) NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Over her 25-year career with Great Clips, CEO Rhoda Olsen has had many haircuts by the Minneapolis-based company's employees. Olsen began her journey with Great Clips as a consultant in 1984. She joined full time as vice president of human resources and training three years later. At the time, the chain had 180 salons and was owned by three partners, one of whom was her brother, Ray Barton, who recruited her. She became its president in 1999 and succeeded Barton as chief executive in 2011. (Barton is now chairman and Great Clips' majority owner.) After all this experience, Olsen knows the company and its franchisees pretty well. >>>Fastsigns CEO Catherine Monson: 5 Traits to a Successful Career >>>BrightStar Care's Shelly Sun: From Frustrated Consumer to CEO >>>Janska's Erickson Breaks Mold for Older Entrepreneurs >>>How One Woman Broke Into the Auto Supply Industry >>>Style Me Pretty's Larson: Women Business Leaders Today, Great Clips stands at 3,200 salons throughout the U.S. and Canada. According to Olsen, the company has had eight straight years of same-store sales growth. Olsen attributes the success of the company equally to the strong community the franchise has created among corporate employees and franchisees, and the convenience and professionalism it provides to customers. She says that being a good CEO means making sure franchisees feel important, whether it's celebrating a store milestone or getting feedback on suggestions of how to run the company more efficiently. Olsen is a strong supporter of career-dedicated women (about half of Great Clips' franchisees are women, many with families) balancing their work-life schedules. One of the biggest challenges for her in becoming the CEO of a large company was being able to step back from the day-to-day operations to fulfill Great Clips' strategic vision. A conversation with Olsen follows. When you became CEO, what were some of the priorities you had for the company? Olsen:The primary things that were really important to me were, first of all, making sure that we leveraged the importance and value of the stylists in the salon every day, the value of the industry and the organizations or the schools that provide us those stylists. The second one was technology -- to try and make sure that we connect with customers in a way that's meaningful to them and innovate around technology to support our brand. We really want the brand to be simple in the salon. We want stylists to be able to deliver a consistent brand, but we also know technology can support that and enable that and help customers get more convenience and feel more connected to the brand. Although we did do some things regarding data internationally, it was really more of the customer data and the customer side that was a priority. The last priority really was the growth at the salon level, both in sales and profits for the franchisees. We just finished our 32nd quarter of
same-store salon sales growth. As of Dec. 31 , we will be at 33 quarters of straight growth. Sometimes when you're growing year over year over year, that growth is a little harder to continue to get. We have to stay focused on making sure that we are growing solidly.

'"Typically when you create chances you get one going one way and the other team's going to get one going the other way," Sabres coach Lindy Ruff said. "They put theirs in, we didn't. . . . We got a point but I think we gave one away."'

Blues rally past red-hot Biron
Lever happy in new colors
'"I knew things were bad in Buffalo, but I didn't think they'd get to the state they are right now," Lever said. "They say the strength of an organization starts at the top, and right now it's just not there. That's the unfortunate thing."'
Tkachuk's overtime goal keeps Blues flying high
'Rallying from an one-goal deficit in the third period for their 16th victory this season when their opponent scores first, the Blues reached 66 points heading into the All-Star break and 29 games remaining on their schedule.'
Blues blunt Sabres to keep first
'The Blues outshot the Sabres 12-5 in the second period, increasing their physical play as the period went on. But they were unable to get anything past Sabres goalie Martin Biron, who turned aside 18 shots in the first 40 minutes.'
Production problems vex Sabre
'He may not be all that is wrong with the Sabres, but to critics he is a poster boy for disappointment.'
At 22, Sabres' Miller busts goaltending curve
'"He's a student of the game," Regier says, "and when you have that understanding, you can anticipate instead of being forced to cheat or guess."'
Satan honoured
'"He's the guy that we look to in all situations, from penalty-killing to power play," commented Ruff. "I think any team that's going to have success, their big guys have to be producing on almost a nightly basis."'
Golisano Anxiously Waiting
'The Sabres creditors want the new buyer to pay for past debt. Golisano thinks otherwise. Their idea is while we have all these back debts and all these back liabilities we want the new buyer to absorb them. Well if the new buyer submits an offer that is not encompassing of those, so be it. They have three options. They can counter our offer, they can take our offer, they can ignore us…"'
Blues 2, Sabres 1, OT
'The Sabres have 41 points, tied for the NHL's worst with the Atlanta Thrashers.'
Hamister to offer Adelphia revised deal in bid to buy Sabres
'The main sticking point in Adelphia's negotiations with Hamister and Berman is believed to focus on the prospective owners' request that $7 million of their offer to be used to pay Sabres' unsecured creditors.'
St. Louis 2, Buffalo 1
'"We had our chance going down the ice," Buffalo coach Lindy Ruff said of the overtime session. "They had a guy that jumped on the ice 30 seconds too early. It should've been called but wasn't, which was utter crap. I look at it as we lost the point. We got a point, but I think we gave a point away."'
Tallinder taught well by ex-Sabre
'Tallinder has been one of the pleasant surprises in an often-unpleasant season.'
Gratton out with concussion
'"He really wasn't feeling that well," coach Lindy Ruff said. "He saw the doctors the other night and the doctors saw him again the next day, and initially we thought maybe just one game, but it looks like the Tuesday game also."'
Sabres vs. Blues
'The Sabres are winless in their last five games against St. Louis (0-3-2).'
Seeking court help to secure Sabres
'With the latest deadline now only four days away for Hamister to complete an agreement to buy the Sabres, neither that deal nor Hamister's request for government aid seems close to being resolved, several sources said Wednesday. And Hamister has admitted his increasing concerns about the process.'

I wanted to know what parents do for kids who have seizures while they sleep?....my son age 7 has partial complex seizures, he has had them since he was 22 mo old, last Monday for the 1st time that we know of he had a fairly bad seizure while asleep. We are now scared to let him fall asleep on his own and to let him sleep in his own room.
Re: sleep and epilepsy
My son is 11 and has the majority of his seizures while sleeping. They are cal nocturnal seizures, though they can happen any time of the day when sleeping. My son also has partial complex seizures as well as Absence and Atonic seizures. We also have him sleep in our room to make sure he is safe. Have you told his doctor about the nocturnal seizure?
I would love to talk with you more if you would like...
Take Care
Re: sleep and epilepsy
My 3 year old son just started having seizurs and drop attacks 8 weeks ago. I am new to this and I wont let him sleep in his room. He sleeps with me during naps and bed time. I am having a very hard time dealing with this. I find myself crying every day and I have no one to talk to about this. I am so scared for him. I have never seen anything more scary in my life when it comes to helping your loved one through a seizure. I know things could be worse but all I want is for my son to be healthy. If i could, i would gladly exchange my health for his. We still are doing test to figure out whats wrong.
Re: sleep and epilepsy
This is my first comment on this forum. My son is almost 11 years old and has had seizures for 2 years now. He has all kinds, absence, complex partial, grand mal....about 10-20 grand mal seizures per month on average. He once had a grand mal seizure at night and bumped his head badly, now we let him sleep on a matress on the floor, in a room right next to our bedroom.
I will be back soon to share more experiences, but in summary we had multiple EEG's (ST and long term), we live in Austin and have taken him also to Houston and New York to get additional opinions. He has been on Lamictal, Zonegran, Zarontin, Keppra, Trileptal and is now on Depakote and steroids (Solu-medrol and prednisone). Nothing has helped, sometimes (rarely) he is seizure free for a week but usually he has multiple seizures weekly.
We watch him every second. We have a pool at home and he had a total of 4 grand-mal seizures in the pool and would have drowned even in knee deep water had we not been there. We have baby-monitors in all rooms, so that we can get some "down-time" once he sleeps. His seizures totally dictate our life.

Choosing a preschool or school
At the Pregnancy and Parenting Network we talk a lot about issues surrounding choosing a school or preschool for your child. In response I've put up an article on Choosing a School on www.pregnancy.com.au. I hope you find this article helpful. If you have any comments or suggestions we'd love to read them on this forum.

Thank you for this article. I am not too good at choosing a school since this is my first one, but since we live on base we kind of decided to try it first and see what happens. They have them go for a few hours and that is about it and best of all we can choose which ones morning or afternoon which I find great. I never knew that choosing a school was so difficult at times. Where I am from we went to school according to where we lived.

Tips for choosing a preschool
As a former Office Manager for a Preschool, I gave a lot of tours to families looking for a school for their child.
Here are some tips I suggest for all parents:
1. Take a tour of the facility
2. Meet the Director of the facility if possible because your child's teachers will change each year, but the Director will most likely stay the same for a few years. You want to have a good relationship with the Director in case you need certain problems within the classroom to be addressed.
3. Spend time in the classroom - visit for a few hours to get a feel for how the class is run. Be sure your child is with you and encourage your child to participate in "circle time" and other activities. The teachers should welcome this.
4. Visit at least 2 other schools in the area to be sure your choosing the school that best meets your needs. Each school will have it's own pros and cons, and you don't want to end up at a school that's not right for your child. Take your time and ask lots of questions. You want the best chance of giving your child a good experience and lasting continuity in the school you choose.
5. Once you've decided on the school you think will be best, schedule a time for you and your child to visit again. See if your child feels more "at home" during this second visit. You may see different teachers during this visit. Substitutes are used often in preschool settings and teachers can be moved from one class to another so getting a good feel for a lot of the teachers at the school can be helpful.
There are more good questions to ask on the "Choosing A School" page but these tips should give you a good start.
Are you looking for a school? Will you be looking for a school in the future? What things are important to you?

transcript:
This outdoor picnic has an avian invader.
But this satin bowerbird isn't interested in snatching food.
He's stealing straws for love.
This Australian songbird lives to lure females to his bower, an avenue of sticks built with one purpose in mind—mating.
But no self-respecting female is going to set foot in this bare bones bachelor pad.
He needs to redecorate.
And he knows what the ladies like.
Blue is their favorite color.
This female is not particularly impressed.
To win her heart, he'll have to up the ante.
Now that's a big spender.
Finally, the female allows herself to step inside his love nest.
Male bowerbirds have an elaborate mating dance.
But for this female, a ring seals the deal...at least until the next girl comes along.

converting from date to epoch time( categories: working with date/time )
In most cases it's simpler to perform date calculations using epoch time (the numbers of seconds that have elapsed since a given date, in Unix is January 1, 1970).
If you have a date and want to convert it to epoch time, use the functions timelocal and timegm availabe in the module Time::Local.
These functions take as a parameter a date value (represented as a six-element array) and returns the epoch time.
use Time::Local
$time = timelocal($sec,$min,$hour,$mday,$mon,$year);
$time = timegm($sec,$min,$hour,$mday,$mon,$year);
adding (substracting) days to (from) a date( categories: working with date/time )
Use the function 'Add_Delta_Days' from 'Date::Calc' module.
The syntax of the function is:
Add_Delta_Days($year, $month, $day, $n_days)
where $n_days is the number of days you want to add (or substract) from the date specified with $year, $month and $n_days.
The function returns the calculated date as a list with 3 elements: year, month and day.
#-- add 60 days to November 4th, 1985
use Date::Calc qw(Add_Delta_Days);
($year, $month, $day) = Add_Delta_Days(1985,11,4,60);
determine the day of week( categories: working with date/time )
To determine the day of week of a given date, use the function 'Day_of_Week' from 'Date::Calc' module.
Day_of_Week expects 3 parameters: year, month and day (in that order); it returns '1' for Monday, '2' for Tuesday and so on until '7' for Sunday.
To obtain the name of the day, use the function 'Day_of_Week_to_Text' (also from 'Date::Calc' module).
Day_of_Week_to_Text receives as a parameter the day of week and returns a string with the corresponding name.
check if a year is a leap year( categories: working with date/time )
Use the 'leap_year' function from Date::Calc module. The function returns true if the argument is a leap year, false otherwise.
use Date::Calc qw(leap_year);
$year = 2000;
print "$year is a leap year\n" if ( leap_year($year) );
getting date and time information( categories: working with date/time )
Use 'localtime' or 'gmtime'. 'localtime' returns local time information and 'gmtime' returns time based on GMT time zone.
($sec,$min,$hour,$mday,$mon,$year,$wday,$yday,$isdst) = localtime(time);
Both functions expects as parameter the number of seconds since the epoch (00:00 January 1, 1970 for most systems, 00:00 January 1, 1904 for MacOS). That value is returned by the 'time' function.
The functions returns a 9-element list with the following structure:
All the elements are numeric, the meaning of the elements are the following:

Yip raj in in the tourny!
Yip raj in in the tourny!
I think the match up is pretty harsh really...
Josh Ramage, Kevin Knight and Martin Evans are all amatures... both been training between 18 months and two years. Raj is a wrestling coach for Trojan / Hill Tribes and has been training for a very long time, I would question that match making.
However Josh Ramage and Kevin Knight are both very, very good fighters. I think Kevin and Martin will lose to Raj's wrestling, however I think Josh will be able to keep it on the feet and knock Raj out. I would say Kevin vs Raj is Raj winning, Martin vs Josh is Josh winning... Josh vs Raj is Josh winning by TKO...
However i still have big questions (as do many others) in regards to the match making... but there we go.
Well it is not me who has to live with the eventuallity that someone gets seriously hurt because they were miss-matched. Just my opinion anyway... everyone is entitled
I think maybe Aplin is bitter because both his losses are to fighters who are entering the tourny and he is gutted that he's not good enough to be included.
Whatever dick head. I am not bitter at all, they are all great guys, all very skilled and I believe all have a good future. I just think that when you have people like Paul Reed, Stapes, etc saying 'I have sparred Raj, he is good' you need to stop and think... why is this guy sparring with people of such high calibour, when Josh, Martin and Kevin are learning / being taught by people like this...
I have asked to rematch both Kevin and Martin, and I would like to fight Raj when I get back from Thailand next year. Although you try and piss me off Ricky because you're an ass kisser to certain people, I know on the day I wasn't good enough to beat either, which is why I am doing something about it and going to train full time in Thailand. I am glad I lost to both because it taught me something, it taught me I need to train seriously and that is what I'm going to do from now on.
I look forward to coming back in one years time and making you eat your words Ricky... now, go train and how about instead of critisizing people you get in the cage and actually fight? I'm back in January if you loose enough weight (stop drinking / eating shit) and it shouldn't be a problem for you seeing as 'I'm not good enough' for people in the AFL
I'll even follow your dodgy match making and fight you at 70KG seeing as your 'slimming world' diet is going so well... so there's your motivation I hate 'calling people out' on forums, but your such a cocky critic that I feel I need to because otherwise you think you have a higher status which is not the case. I don't care if someone has lost 20 fights and tells me I suck, but I do care about someone having had no fights and telling me I'm not good enough... So step up Ricky...
MMA Alien:
You got onewell training in MMA and Muay Thai is fun, but i cant wait to get in the ring/cage and have my own fights and kick some ass, being such a short ass as i am and weighing so much its very hard trying to find myself an opponent to beat up!

P.S. I appologise for bring this into the AFL thread, will continue this by PM with Ricky directly.
I hope the show goes well, my experiences with The AFL have been relatively positive. Obviously this time round I feel I was mis-matched against a guy much bigger than myself. However my last two fights have been pretty fair and I was treated well when I arrived. In terms of fans it is a very well put on show enjoyable to all and with high production quality. I wish Mike Swanbo all the best with the show and hope all the fighters have a good night in Newport.

I have confused my iPhone charger with other people's so many times, it's the worst! I recently put a Tech Tattz charger decal on the base of my charger and it's totally switched things up! Not only is it something pretty to look at but I'm not getting it confused with my friends'! A decal is only $5 and they're super easy to put on. Tech Tattz also sells decals for your phone and computer, bubble buttons for your home button, and cases!

Re: Ask The Expert - Salary Cap
I have a question. We keep hearing about Dick Cass' two-year window and how the Ravens are heading down the road toward cap hell in '08. Why is that? Why are there other successful teams -- like the Steelers and Patriots, to name two -- who never go to cap jail? And how come there are teams like the Redskins who set themselves up for cap jail, only to make parole every year? Maybe Dick Cass should see how these teams "manage" the cap before putting up the white flag on '08 so early.

Re: Ask The Expert - Salary Cap
I think we are making more of this than what will probably occur. Players such as Ray Lewis, Jamal Lewis, McNair, Mason, Pryce, Rolle, Mulitalo, Flynn, MA, Vincent, and maybe even Stover will have retired by the end of 2008. Each of these guys are in the November of their careers, and if we win a SB this year and/or next year, these guys may decide to call it a career.
I think players such as Suggs, Scott, Ngata, hopefully AD, Clayton, Heap, Demetrius, and anyone picked up in the 2007 and 2008 drafts will be key in retooling after the 2008 season.It's a new season! It's a new day!
Re: Ask The Expert - Salary Cap
As PR said, I don't think we are going to be in cap hell - like 2002 - because it'll be more natural attrition this time. If they decided to keep all of those guys, then we would be way over the cap, but at that point, guys like Ogden, Ray, McNair, Rolle, Mulitalo, etc. would be cheaper to cut than keep. Because of this, the cap won't be as much of a problem, but replacing those guys will.
One thing going for the Ravens this time around is that, to date, they have not restructured any deals that would come back to haunt them at that point. The restructuring of deal in order to free up present cap space at the expense of future cap space is what landed them in so much trouble back in 2002.Talk's cheap - lets go play. - #19, Johnny Unitas

Re: Ask The Expert - Salary Cap
The front office has done nothing short of a tremendous job in rebuilding this squad.
As to the question of 'cap hell' see Steve McNair.
Yes, the Ravens will lose some of their veterans, but here's hoping that new blood will infuse the team; particularly the offensive line.

I am also in the same boat. I prefer Grub2 to Legacy Grub and want to either put Backtrack entries directly into Grub2 or chainload into Legacy Grub.
When I try the chainload approach, it doesn't even try to boot; it takes me right back to the Grub2 screen.
When I try BT boot entries in Grub2, it says it cannot find the Ubuntu Kernel (even though I have the backtrack kernel and path specified) or it just fails and drops into BusyBox or whatever it's called.
Anyone who has experience in this area, your input would be greatly appreciated.

Nor did Queen suspect that he would penetrate the gang so successfully that he would become a fully "patched-in" member, eventually rising through their ranks to the office of treasurer, where he had unprecedented access to evidence of their criminal activity. After Queen spent 28 months as "Billy St. John", the bearded, beer-swilling, Harley-riding gang-banger, the truth of his identity became blurry, even to himself.
From Queen's first sleight of hand with a line of methamphetamine in front of him and a knife at his throat, to the fearsome face-off with their decades-old enemy, the Hell's Angels (a brawl that left three bikers dead), to the heartbreaking scene of a father ostracized at Parents' Night because his deranged-outlaw appearance precluded any interaction with regular citizens, Under and Alone is a breathless, adrenaline-charged listen. It will put you on the street with some of the most dangerous men in America and with the law enforcement agents who risk everything to bring them in.
©2005 William Queen; (P)2006 Books on Tape
"His story is tight, suspenseful, and unstoppable." (Bookmarks Magazine)
"[A] harrowing, turbocharged account of undercover life....The strength and white-hot intensity of the writing make this read like a movie." (Publishers Weekly)
"Great Listen"
This is one of my favorites so far. Instead of the narrator sounding like he is reading a book, it gives you the feeling that it is happening at that moment. The author gives enough detail so that you feel what he went through without boring you with a lot of useless facts. Some people won't like the book because of some of the language, but this is about a hardcore motorcycle gang so you have to expect the language if you want to get the true experience.
I wish I could give this book 6 stars. I loved it and wasn't expecting to get so engrossed. This book makes Donnie Brasco look like Mr. Rogers. If you have ever heard the expression of "unbelievable but true", this book fits the bill. I listened to this non-stop and couldn't wait to hear more. The main character is constantly in true fear for his life and surrounded by the most violent group of Mongul motorcycle gang members in Los Angeles. I was totally intrigued and right there with him in all of the drama.
This book was very captivating from the beginning. It was very well written and well read. It had an edgy feel that kept me interested, always expecting things to blow up. A real character study - it reminds us that there is a degree of humanity in all people, even those whom we dehumanize. This story shows the conflicting emotions felt by undercover officers who cannot help but to be drawn in by the people they meet. It shows his constant struggle to retain parts of himself as he got further and further into character. As he got to know and like these bikers, Billy had to keep reminding himself these were dangerous men who would kill him as soon as look at him, and when he stopped reminding himself, something would happen to shake him back to reality. I would have liked to hear more about the 'afterwards', however I think we get some of the picture on the extreme sacrifice this man made for his job and his own convictions. I do hope he was well rewarded for his efforts!
This book is well written and really grabs you and holds on. The narrator did a fantastic job and is able to transistion between the characters so well that it's like they are sitting with you telling you the story.
If you listen while commuting you find yourself not wanting to get out of the car.

"guts and valor"
Queen stands tall. Intelligence took over badass MC in international club in world, I used to be a ding a ling,, visited Oakland chapter,San Francisco, Richmond and tried Baditos in Tejas could get affiliated..I had a bad ass firebreating dragon.But I wanted to be a hamc This book is 5 stars could you image riding 80 choppers at 100 mph down the road? These guys did it.Great read.
Dept Q, Harry Hole... where are you?
"Why Cycle Gangs Are Bad For You"
I am from Greensboro, the author's hometown and I heard Mel Gibson bought the movie rights... It is a great nonfiction story. Real undercover work, as related in the book, is not pretty or even attractive to the hero wannabees in all of us.
There are many tragic tales within this book, but one I can't seem to get over is the monumental sacrifices an undercover agent makes to protect us. If this was a work of fiction, I'd rate it a 3- because while it is an heroic tale, it is disturbing to read about.
I want to feel good when I complete a story & am a little harsh on depressing ones. There are a few sad ones that I love but not many.
"How can it be done"
This is a crazy story that I got hooked on quickly. It is hard to explain but I had some really mixed feeling about what Mr Queen went through. Great story and lots of respect for a heck of a job.
"Highly entertaining and suspenseful"
top 3
When a thug from another biker gang tries to cut/stab Queen and a Mongol
Great voice, expressive, almost like you're seeing it happen instead of someone reading a story. Talks like you think the u/c hero would talk.
How an Anglo undercover cop infiltrated the Mongols, the most violent biker gang, rose to the top and brought them down and lived to tell the story
This book keeps you on the edge your seat not knowing what turn it will take next. Mr. Queen put his life on the line every day and his story is one of the best reads anywhere! You won't be disappointed with this one.
"Worth the cost of admission"
This is a worthy addition to the true crime genre, though I would have wished for more details about, perhaps, fewer characters. The book also ends very abruptly and rather shapelessly. I don't need to know details about Queen's life, but I do want to know more about how he reintegrated over time.
Also - and this isn't giving anything away - high-ranking Mongols are suspicious of "Billy" from the start. We're shown how he gets in with them, but we never hear why they were so suspicious, whether other prospects face the same scrutiny, nor what their reactions are when the undercover operation is over.

Police: Stabbing death of soldier no hate crime, 3 arrested
WCBD-TV: News, Weather, and Sports for Charleston, SC
Police in Lakewood Washington say details on the murder of 20-year old Army Soldier Tevin Geike are coming into focus. Geike who was a native of Summerville, SC was stabbed to death in Washington State over the weekend.
When Lakewood Police first began the investigation there was speculation that it was a possible hate crime. After making three arrests, police have now learned that is not the case, in fact both the victim and the suspects have a lot in common-- they are all active duty Soldiers at Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington.
An Army career for Tevin Geike was not much of a surprise for those who knew him. Geike was a 2010 Graduate of Stall High and as soon as he arrived at the school he went straight to the ROTC program.
Program coordinator Air Force Lt. Col. (Ret) Lonnie Ford said, while quiet Geike was quick to shine. "Like most freshman he was fairly shy …but he developed over time. He graduated in three years, accelerated himself so that he could go and take part in life. He always wanted to enlist in the Army and always talked about that."
From our News Partners at WCBD-TV:
Lt. Col. (Ret) Ford adds the 20-year old always kept his focus on the military and the ROTC even though at times it was not the most popular thing to do.
"He was willing to put the work in and he stood out because of it. Three years in a program, a program most kids turn their noses at, three years in a program most kids turn their back on. But he graduated early and went directly into the Army to wear the uniform again, there is not much more we can ask of him.
The Lakewood Police Murder Investigation
Investigators say the incident happened Early Saturday morning when words were exchanged between the group Geike was walking with and the suspects in a passing car.
Police say the suspects stopped the car but the situation seemed to quickly defuse once everybody learned they were all active duty soldiers.
But police say one suspect, Jeremiah Hill, appeared to quote "bear hug" Geike and dropped him to the ground. Police say others in the car, who are now cooperating with investigators, tell them, Hill got back into the vehicle covered with blood and that he cut himself stabbing Geike.
Geike died at the scene and police had few leads at the start. They were led to Jeremiah Hill by a Military Sergeant saying he knew something about the stabbing death, police later made the arrest.
The three suspects: Jeremiah Hill 23, Cedarium Johnson 21, and Ajon Runnion-Barefoot 21, are arrested on murder charges. They will have an arraignment hearing on Tuesday afternoon in Pierce County Washington.

Viola - from Bossier City, LA
We have developed many recipes for making your own icings and cakes from scratch or by jazzing up and adding your own personal touch to mixes. Check them out on this website. Click here for more recipes.
The easiest way to add color to your icing is to use icing color. There are a wide variety of concentrated gel formulas, available individually or in sets that help you achieve the exact shade you want without thinning your icing.
You can use the colors as is or mix and match, for example, mixing blue and red to make purple. Note that these colorings work with yellow cake as well as white cake, but the color will have slight yellow undertones. Remember, to start slow because you can always add more color but you can't take it back out.
Another way to add color to your desserts is with Color Mist, an edible spray on color. You can ice a cake or cupcake with white icing and spray on the Color Mist. One more way to add color is with Wilton FoodWriters. These are markers made with edible ink that can be used on hardened cookie icing, royal icing or fondant. Both of these make great activities for kids!

The Adornment of the Middle Way
Translated by Padmakara Translation Group
Madhyamaka, or the Middle Way, is accepted by all schools of Tibetan Buddhism as the most profound expression, in philosophical terms, of emptiness, the true nature of phenomena. Emptiness is the basis on which the whole of Mahayana practice is founded, from the mind-training meditations on bodhichitta to the advanced yogas of tantra and dzogchen. The Madhyamaka tradition, inaugurated by Nagarjuna and dominant in India for over a thousand years, remains a vibrant force in Tibetan Buddhism.
Shantarakshita's view, quintessentially expressed in the Madhyamakalankara, effects a synthesis between the Madhyamaka of Nagarjuna, the Mind-Only teachings traced back to Asanga, and the logico-epistemological tradition of Dignaga and Dharmakirti. This great work marks the final stage in the evolution of Madhyamaka and was the last major development of Buddhist philosophy in India.
Composed toward the end of the nineteenth century, Mipham's brilliant and searching commentary has been described as one of the most profound examinations of Madhyamaka ever written. In presenting and defending Shantarakshita's view, Mipham throws down the gauntlet to the philosophical establishment and calls for a major reassessment of the Madhyamaka field. This challenging but rewarding text is indispensable to a balanced understanding of Tibetan Buddhist thought. This book is a core study text for both scholars and practitioners of Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhism.
"Padmakara has again succeeded in presenting a difficult original text in an accessible and accurate translation. The translators benefited from the guidance of Khanchen Pema Sherab, one of the most renowned living experts in the tradition of Jamgön Mipham. A forty-seven-page introduction helps orient the reader through discussions of the Svantrika-Prasangika distinction, the role and precise nature of the Yogachara aspect of Shantarakshita's system, and the text's relationship to the logical and epistemological tradition of Dharmakirti." —Buddhadharma

Dash's Beck bests buddy Zimmer
White Sox prospect hasn't allowed earned run in 18 2/3 innings
By Sam Dykstra / Special to MLB.com | April 18, 2013 8:00 PM ET
After a solid sophomore year at Georgia Southern and a stellar turn in the Cape Cod League, Chris Beck was considered a near lock for the first round in the 2012 Draft. Then, his numbers took a dip his junior year -- ERA jumped from 3.23 to 3.91, opponents batting average sat at .288 -- and the the 6-foot-3 right-hander fell out of favor with scouts. The White Sox eventually took him with the 75th overall pick in the second round last June.
"Personally, it was the best and worst day of my life," Beck said. "You have your expectations on where you think you'll go, and I know I hadn't performed as well as I could have, but I still had pretty high hopes after the fall I had and the previous summer at the Cape.
"But you know, I fell to the second round, and I just have to thank the White Sox for taking me there. I consider myself blessed for them taking me when they did because at that point, there's no telling just how far I'd fall."
Beck has certainly justified the pick thus far.
The No. 11 White Sox prospect allowed four hits and a walk in eight innings Thursday night in Class A Advanced Winston-Salem's 4-0 win over MLB.com's No. 34 prospect Kyle Zimmer and Wilmington. The outing -- his first that extended beyond the sixth inning -- gives him 18 2/3 innings without an earned run allowed to start the 22-year-old's full-season career.
Beck (2-1) relied on a diet of fastballs and curveballs with the occasional changeup and slider to hold down a Blue Rocks offense that consisted of seven right-handed hitters, including the first five in the batting order. The result was 12 groundouts, thanks to a heavy dose of early-count outs, for a pitcher who prides himself on that stat.
"I consider myself more a ground-ball pitcher," he said. "All I want to do every night is eat innings as best I can and get deep into the game. I actually think I get better as the game goes on too, so I want to give myself a chance to prove that. Plus, you're saving the bullpen, and the more fresh arms you have, the better chance you have to save the series. When you consider that, it's all about being aggressive and forcing them to swing early."
The Georgia native ran into trouble in the third inning when he began the frame by allowing singles to Parker Morin and Tim Ferguson and then a sacrifice bunt by Justin Trapp that put two men in scoring position with one out. Beck responded by fanning Jack Lopez and getting Jorge Bonifacio to ground out to second base. Including those two, the Dash starter retired 10 in a row following the jam. He allowed only two hits over the remaining five innings.
Although Beck has found success in his start to the 2013 season, it took some work to get to that point. He went 4-3 with a 4.69 ERA and .319 opponents average in his pro debut for Rookie-level Great Falls in 2012.
To remedy the struggles he saw there and at Georgia Southern, the right-hander went to work with Chicago conditioning coach and former WCW and TNA pro wrestler Dale "The Demon" Torborg, who he credited for having helped him "get this thing turned around."
The early returns have been nothing but positive. But after last year's Draft Day fall, Beck hesitated to call it his redemption tour.
"I wouldn't say redemption, maybe more like redirection back in the right direction," he said. "I've been doing a lot of work to get to this point, and I know it's been a great start, but all I can do is build off it. There are still things I can continue to work on if I want to continue succeeding here."
The Dash offense chased Zimmer (0-1) after he allowed four earned runs on five hits in three innings Both of Thursday night's starters played for Cotuit and worked out almost every day together on the Cape in 2011. The pair didn't exchange pregame words except for a pat on the back and a "What's up, man," according to Beck, but he added that's just part of their competitive nature.
"I obviously hate to see that happen to a buddy like that," Beck said. "But he's one of the best pitchers in the Minor Leagues, and he's got absolutely electric stuff. He'll be great for them this year."

Walt Whitman, the great American bard, seemed to have the soul of a surfer - especially one from the lazy days of the 1950s.
"I lean and loaf at my ease," he would brag, matter of factly.
In those days, along Seal Way - a shell's throw to the Seal Beach shoreline - a row of modest homes basked in the summer sun.
A man named Blackie August owned a house there at the time. In the 1960s, during a remodel, construction workers tossed a plaster sphinx that had been a fixture on his roof into a dumpster.
According to local legend, the Surf Sphinx cast a spell over the sea, bringing in a strong surf with punch and perfection.
Young Seal Beach surfers paid quiet homage to the plaster Surf Sphinx.
"They were drawn by its power," said Libby Appelgate , community historian. "They wanted to feel the surge of magic, lining up with the sphinx to get the perfect, peaky waves that broke there."
It had been "borrowed" from a roof top of the Villa Riviera or the Pacific Coast Club in Long Beach, or from somewhere called Redondo Beach, according to Appelgate. Neither version, she said, was confirmed.
With the remodeling, the Surf Sphinx vanished.
According to rumor, a passerby picked it up and took it back to Long Beach, where it reportedly sat in a garage, Appelgate recalled.
Through the efforts of Ron "Chi" Kredell, a retired lifeguard and former councilman, the missing Surf Sphinx was found in the 1990s, she said.
It was sitting in the backyard of Long Beach resident Lisa Inman Gager, where it remains to this day.
"After 30 years of asking questions and following leads (Kredell) finally found the woman who has the Sphinx sitting in her beautiful garden illuminated with a spotlight," Appelgate added.
Years earlier, Gager lived on 14th Street, and in her youth she would roam all over the beach town. She would often pass Blackie August's house with the Surf Sphinx.
"The surfers were out front having a great time surfing," Appelgate added.
Years later, while visiting her sister and her mom, Gager noticed the construction workers, prompting her to ask, "What are you going to do with that sphinx?" They said they were going to toss it into the dumpster.
With the help of a sister, Gager salvaged the Surf Sphinx.
Arco plans still unclear
The Arco gas station at Fifth Street and Pacific Coast Highway in Seal Beach has been out of service since 2009.
Due to serious soil contamination, it's not clear whether the station - demolished and with the site graded - will be rebuilt.
The PCH and Fifth Street station had posed the most concern, resulting in the inspection of about 50 Bridgeport homes, and some on Schooner Way.
City Engineer Michael Ho said residents will most likely look at options for the site in the near future, when ARCO officals host an outreach meeting.

Anyone who boldly claims that they know some meaning within a work of art, must clarify whether they mean to tell us what the artist meant, or what they mean they find in the artist's work. This theory is wholly my own. The Disney films The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, and The Lion King present, in their respective order, the story of a believer's life from conversion, through lifelong repentance, and end with the return of the Lord to restore His people and His world.
In The Little Mermaid, Ariel lives in an unsatisfactory world, longing to walk beneath the sun in that unreachable world above. This desire has precedence; in chapter seven of Moby Dick, Ishmael says, "Methinks that in looking at things spiritual, we are too much like oysters observing the sun through the water, and thinking that thin water the thinnest of air." He is echoing the Platonic idea that earth is not real in comparison to the next life, where we shall be more substantive and see clearly—a sentiment familiar to Christian theology. Ariel longs to walk in sunlight, much as mankind has been prevented from walking with God, since Eden. Likewise, her attempts to learn human language mirror the pagan's grasping to understand the Word.
Ariel's story is ultimately one of faith, love, and forgiveness. Among all of Disney's princesses, she is the only one who by the movie's end has not changed. She remains a rebellious teenager, not sorry for her disobedience (only the painful consequences to her and others), and yet she gets what she wants. Her father gives her the dream of being human. Triton recognizes that Ariel loves Erik, which he blesses because he loves her. His decision depends upon his reciprocal and unconditional love and forgiveness, moving him to undergo the sacrifice of his precious daughter leaving home for good. Ariel prefigured this happy ending by her own declaration that, though she knew not how, she believed that she would reach her dream. Herein is fallen humanity, while still in sin, having faith that God loves them enough to redeem them, a faith that comes because they choose to love Him.
The next step, repentance, is central to Beauty and the Beast. As set forth in the opening sequence, Beast must learn true kindness, after concerning himself with mere appearances and professing penitence only when facing the consequences for his folly. Ultimately, Belle moves him to begin this change, after having no such inclination the whole of his bestial life. His love for her causes him to realize what it means to care for another person, not just himself. He even learns to let go of Belle, to give up control in complete humility and self-denial, and satisfy her needs, even when his own are in dire jeopardy as a result. Beast is like the believer who walks with Christ, learning to purge the fleshly desires and become more human, more like the godly image from before the Fall and the true lover of God.
Beast makes the ultimate sacrifice, to conclude his journey, because this life of turning away from sin is a kind of death. Walking with the Lord, while secure in eternal blessings, is painful because it is not free from death. Beast has to die, to his bestial self and literally, before he can be transformed in Belle's love and receive the consummation of his redemption. He has become human in spirit, but by death and resurrection (take the final scene of transformation how you will), he becomes human in body. Sappy as it sounds, this is a tale as old as time, of God bringing His people back to Him through the painful earthly life of obedience and into the glory of new, heavenly life.
Finally, the future restoration of God's kingdom on earth, as He returns to raise the dead to eternal life and judge the wicked, undergirds the sweeping story of The Lion King. This grand savanna epic, arguably the artistic height of Disney animated film (due to no small similarity to Hamlet, except with a happier ending), is about a usurped kingdom, a prince who forgets himself, and a cycle of life to death and to life again. Mufasa is the best example of a loving father and of majestic kingship in the Disney canon, such that his death is the hardest scene to watch, young or old. While Morgan Freeman has played God, James Earl Jones touches closer, in my opinion, to representing God in this role. After he dies, is separated from his son and his people, Simba runs into unknown territory and blinds himself to his princely heritage, while the murderous uncle begins a ruinous tyranny. Echo the Fall, when death takes over and humanity loses its divine image.
Simba needs to reclaim his identity, and then he will bring righteous wrath against Scar and wage ware to reclaim the savanna. Visited by Mufasa, he remembers who he is, and from then on takes up the kingly mantle, a type for Christ and for the restored believer. The direct consequence of this new identity is challenging Scar. As God promised that He would save mankind from death, He has also promised to return someday and give Satan battle for His creation (except He will wipe out His foes without much effort). Heaven comes to the fight at Pride Rock, since the flames that consume the wicked Scar and his hyena minions, now turned against him, were started by a lightning strike.
The battle won, the ruined kingdom is made whole again. Once evil is vanquished, the rains purify the deadened plains as Simba, in the image of his father, walks up to proclaim himself the rightful lion king. In celebration, the faithful herbivore subjects return to a budding savanna, after the fiery perdition had purged its evil and sent the wicked to their rightful deaths. The circle of life turns again, but so far as the movie is concerned it isn't a perpetual cycle as the animistic theology of Africa might maintain— it is an image of a dead world being resurrected. The King has returned; life springs forth again. When Christ comes, He promises to judge evil once and for all, and to recreate His world as it used to be, perfect and eternally alive.
Ariel represents the life of sin that gets forgiven, and the sinner, by faith, being promised security of heaven as fulfillment of lasting happiness. Beast signifies the believer habituating real change from wickedness while in this earthly life, ultimately embracing the death of Christ as their final dissolution of sin. And Simba embodies both the believer reclaiming their princely nature and God's returning wrath and resurrection of this world, through Christ the one true king.

Brenda from Perryville, Missouri writes:
Can you recycle paper that has been printed on one side, for printing on the backside, without harming the printer?
Hi, Brenda. What a good question. I recently commented in another thread that I should start giving my own "green" beliefs more consideration when I write these articles.
We all seem to be more and more conscious every day about how important it is for us to conserve. To, in the jargon of the recycling movement, "reduce, reuse, recycle". The reason that the three words are organized like that is because reducing is better than reusing, reusing is better than recycling, recycling is better than doing nothing. The answer to "can you recycle paper that has been printed on one side" is yes, any paper can be recycled, that is broken down and made into new paper. There is, of course, an energy cost behind doing this, and a significant amount of the pulp (something like 60%) is rendered useless in the process.
What you're asking about is reusing the paper, which is infinitely better. Too many of us, myself included, are guilty of printing something on a single side and then tossing the paper into the trash or the recycling bin.
The answer to your question is yes, the paper can be reused, provided that the ink on the printed side is completely dry. One thing to watch out for is that if you have printed an image on the paper, it may create a paper jam in your printer as it rolls through. The higher the quality of the image, the more ink was used to print it and the higher the possibility of a paper jam. So just watch your printer closely as it goes through to make sure that you don't suffer a jam. This issue becomes worse with low quality paper than high quality.
One other thing to watch for is what's called "bleed" or "bleed-through". This is where whatever's on the backside of the paper shows through onto the side that you're printing on. As with the jamming issue, this becomes worse with high quality images or low quality paper.
I hope that this helps, and thanks for the great environmental question.
