non-thermal radiation
Non-thermal radiation is electromagnetic radiation given off by particles for reasons other than their thermal energy. The commonest example in astrophysics is synchrotron radiation, produced by the acceleration of electrons or other charged particles by a magnetic field. The spectrum of nonthermal radiation is different from that predicted by Planck's law for a blackbody.

Um, I think I just saw Tim Gunn carefully surveying a menu in front of a restaurant in Saudi Arabia. I couldn't confirm it was him, because I was with a lot of people who wouldn't "get it," but: that silvern hair!
Anyone know why he might be here? Is this a Proj Run spoiler?????????
not going to lie. I find it adorible how excited you seem about Tim Gunn.
When are you coming back Cord? You've been gone for quite a while.
Dude, you should have just asked him!
Yeah i got here a couple of days ago and saw him at a local mall talking to vendors!!!!!!!!!! I was too far to talk but I am going back tomorrow to find out why he is here!
Yeah i got here a couple of days ago and saw him at a local mall talking to vendors!!!!!!!!!! I was too far to talk but I am going back tomorrow to find out why he is here!
Yeah, when ARE you coming back. I mean, do you still have both your kidneys?
Tell us the truth. You are donating because you can't seem to break that 120 lb. barrier and all your friends are calling you fat.
Thanks a lot. You know some of us want Tim Gunn to adopt us. Or maybe that's just me? If I had seen Morrisey I would have said hi for you.
Shouldn't it be "Praj Run"? Or is that only in India? How are the kids, Cord? Get it? The kids? Ah, stupid humor.
he is a picure of FOODNESS AND JIUCE who is the slivern man?? whe is SAUDI ARABA WY, WHAT
I'd love to see the geighs take on a burkha…
The food Cord. The food in the Middle East is amazing. Well, that's the only reason I would go there. That's actually the only reason I go anywhere.
Glrg is confusing me.
I have a friend who types like this and I often translate for others. I take it they don't quite know who Tim Gunn is and why he's in Saudi Arabia and why should they care? I'm paraphrasing.

Or maybe they just like Mr. Layton. Charm is a strange thing in a politician – it's never clear when it will translate into votes and when it's just an attractive waste of breath, the foam on a sports-bar pint. It worked this time thanks to circumstances that won't necessarily be available in four years, and the Tories even have an interest in sustaining it, if it keeps the Liberals from regrouping. Mr. Harper, after all, is still the Prime Minister, and no one thinks he got the job because of his beer-hall chumminess.
However, charm is also a great quality for getting things accomplished in a non-partisan environment with dialogue and understanding. As president of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities in the 1990s, where he worked with mayors across the country – and cleverly built his national profile – Mr. Layton was celebrated as a non-ideological problem-solver. That may be where he began his shift to what he calls "principled pragmatism."
Gerry Furney, the mayor of Port McNeill, B.C., recalls a Layton speech from that era: "He came across as a middle-of-the-road person making some good arguments, and by the end of the speech he had the delegates eating out of his hands. I approached him in the foyer afterwards … and asked him if he'd ever thought of joining the Reform Party and running for leadership."
A committed NDP politician who can come across as solid Reform material – it almost makes you think our ideological differences matter less than our common humanity. But party politics exists to eradicate such fantasies, no matter how civil an Opposition leader tries to be.
Always in character
The leader most Canadians want to have a beer with opts for coffee – a triple-shot Americano decaf – when I finally get to meet him. It's taken a while to land an hour of face time, but here Mr. Layton is, recognizably unassuming in his streamlined bike wear at a small, studenty café near the Art Gallery of Ontario called (aptly enough) Orange Alert.
It's meant to be a chat about life outside the narrow frame of politics. But this is Jack Layton, who can't stop his bike at a light without talking shop to someone, or mention the TV series 24 without observing "it stars Tommy Douglas's grandson, Kiefer."
While Ms. Chow sits at the next table on her BlackBerry, we talk about the Layton family's music store in Montreal, our shared pleasure in Matt Damon's Bourne action films, the Trekkie costumes he and Ms. Chow once notoriously donned (for an AIDS fundraiser – it turns out they're not really crazed devotees) and their 1988 wedding on the Toronto Islands, which I stumbled across with my children.
"I broke my leg 10 days before, so I had to go in on my cane, just like in the election. I even got the sympathy vote at my own wedding! Olivia came over on a barge, a balloon-infested barge – it was very dramatic. And from there we ended up at a big banquet in Chinatown and then we had a big dance at St. Lawrence Market with Parachute Club. It was a ball."
I tell him I don't get how anyone could live so completely in public. "Jack is never alone," one operative tells me, and Mr. Broadbent says: "Some of us want to get away from it all, but not Jack. He loves to socialize."
Getting away is a distinction that doesn't exist for Mr. Layton. Almost on cue, a young art student who's overheard us comes up to chat about Matt Damon's role in Clint Eastwood's film Hereafter. Mr. Layton has range, and the willingness to deploy it.
But even in the most casual street-corner café, where the admiring Korean owner offers the NDP leader a healthy-looking oatmeal cookie on the house, the language of Ottawa keeps taking over – problem solving, principled pragmatism, robust policies for key economic sectors, core values of fairness and equality, making nice to Bank of Canada chief Mark Carney – "I have no doubt he'd be able to work with us, because we're focused on stable, predictable frameworks."
I get it. He's on his way to Ottawa. He's a politician. That's his job, his purpose and, more and more, his life.
But when the people stand up and applaud, it's for something else entirely.

Within the 1870's, Bay St. Louis was actually viewed as a health resort plus the adventures and attractions like sailing, water craft, deep sea sport fishing, sitting on the beautiful sugar-white fine sand coastlines continue to stay. Bay St. Louis still supplies sea food and also regionally cultivated vegetables, and also produce intended for local consumption.
Only Ocean Springs, MS rivals Bay St. Louis in the number of fully restored houses as well as commercial properties that were built throughout the 19th century into the early 20th century.

The costs of excellent homes in Bay St. Louis is typically considerably less than neighboring South East Louisiana. All prime residential and business real estate throughout Bay St. Louis is accessible for substantially less per sq cubic in comparison to comparable homes found in neighboring South East Louisiana.
Despite the fact that Bay St. Louis populace is small using big city measures, the arts & culture scene, amenities & activities, 2 huge gaming casinos, a substantial variety of eating facilities, recurring special occasions, outside recreation, beautiful thruways, and also shopping opportunities are the reasons Bay St. Louis is the envy of countless urban areas in the USA that have a much greater population.

Thought I'd take the opportunity to promote a couple of my writings here.
I got interviewed a while back for Pikes Peak Writers about how to pitch a novel to an agent, if you can meet with one personally. My fantasy novel is the one I pitched, but the agent had left the publishing industry, so I'll be trying again at the same conference this year.
Writing from the Peak: Pitch Under Fire: An Interview with John K. Patterson by Rob Killam
And I have a couple of links to samples from the early chapters of my novel, The Wolfglen Legacy. I hope you enjoy them, and welcome any critique or suggestions from others.

In order to receive financial help from other nations,
the United Colonies needed to formally separate from England. John
Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Roger Sherman, Robert Livingston and THOMAS
JEFFERSON prepared the resolution. The writing fell to Jefferson
who struggled with several drafts, but then moved the argument to
a higher level when he declared "all men are created equal."
The first draft was presented on June 28. Many revisions
were negotiated, but the primary dispute over the freedom for slaves
was deleted from the document
after the war and if a new
nation truly formed, then a new government would address the issue.
On July 4, 1776, the traitors signed
the Declaration of Independence. The world would never again be
the same.
Renaissance Man
Quietly idealistic, THOMAS JEFFERSON at 33 years old was a "Renaissance
man" - scholar, lawyer, naturalist, inventor, architect, and
violin player fluent in six languages.
Jefferson was convinced by John Adams to write the first draft.
"Reason first - You are a Virginian, and a Virginian ought
to appear at the head of this business. Reason second - I am obnoxious,
suspected, and unpopular. You are very much otherwise. Reason third
- you can write ten times better than I can."

Criminal Law
Criminal Law Questions? Ask a Criminal Lawyer.
NO/DCF came out/ starting asking my crazy questions/ completed forms/said they woulld be back to investigate more/ saying things like DCF could remove her/ put her
in safe place- paper work they left said can/cannot have attourney present??
2 fire trucks/EMT showed up on request of home heatlh care nurse/ they came
saw situation/ were baffled/ checked her out/she was fine/ and were speaking out of side of there mouth " like somebody is way out of bounds/ cops said/ just call home health care people right back next time" But no telling what that nurse said to DCF/ so investigators are coming back out on Monday/ (and cops/EMT's have no say)- It is all this lady who was out here for 45 minutes
Dear JACUSTOMER - I understand the situation. You need to be very careful and I would not talk to anyone about this. Whatever you say can and will be used against you and nothing you say is going to help you. I know you care for your Mom but you could end up being charged with a crime and she would still be out of the house. Until you know the intentions of the authorities you need to remain silent. You have no duty to allow them into your house without a warrant and if you are charged with a crime you definitely need an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney the court will appoint counsel. If you can afford an attorney you may want to get a consultation appointment now.
These types of situations can escalate once the state gets involved and you can't control what they do. Based on your facts I see no neglect but that doesn't mean these government employees will not try to justify their jobs and cause you a lot of trouble. Right now you need to think of yourself whether your Mom is removed or not. Her situation can be dealt with at a later time.
The Police and Fire/Rescue (called to check mom out) they left satisfied with answers
I have no idea where DCF lady is going with this/ her first question to my mom was "how many days did ur son leave u"- my mom was home 30 minutes(tops)- then nurse showed up/ home health care company/ I choice/hired/ But this nurse was hanging around/ outside like she had nailed someone/
come down to this Dr who walks through this facility put 24 hour care recommended
/did not say required/ and DCF is using that/ 24 hour care as base for charge of neglect/ with having mother removed from home

Actor Vaibhav is keeping a low pro file these days. He isn't seen much in public and avoids Ajith fans. This will continue for another few weeks, till the Mankatha fever subsides. Now that Vaibhav has punched Ajith in a scene in Mankatha, Thala fans are warning him wherever he goes. `How dare you touch my Thala?' is the question he's often asked.
In Tamil cinema, where heroes are worshipped like demi Gods, Vaibhav has taken a risk by hitting Ajith on screen. He says, "When I was watching the film in the the ater, in the scene where I hit Ajith, I heard Ajith fans screaming. When they saw me they warned me not to do it the next time. It's ok, I know they do it out of love for Ajith. I too hesitated to hit him in that scene but Ajith was very sporting!" On a lighter note, when asked if he would ever hit a superstar again, he laughed and said, "Never, not even if the character demands it!"

Washington, D.C. – The U.S. Senate approved a measure by Senators Harry Reid (D-NV) and Ted Stevens (R-AK) that would protect each state's right to regulate hunting and fishing. The legislation was cosponsored by Senators John Ensign (R-NV) and Ben Nelson (R-NE). It passed the full Senate late last night, as an amendment to the Supplemental Appropriations Act.
"This is a big victory for Nevadans, and for sportsmen everywhere," said Reid. "Nevada's hunting and fishing groups help conserve our natural resources through taxes, fees, and old-fashioned hard work. Our sportsmen understand Nevada, and they work hard to take care of it. This bill recognizes and rewards those efforts. I hope the House of Representatives will join us to pass this bill into law."
"Alaskans join Nevadans in the proud tradition of hunting and fishing," said Stevens. "This amendment ensures that our states sportsmen are able to fully partake in the resources and splendor of their own states."
"Nevada's sportsmen embody a proud tradition of western independence and I'm proud to have fought for this measure on their behalf," Ensign said. "We have protected their interests and maintained important protections for our environment."
"Uncle Sam should stay out of the business of regulating state hunting and fishing fees," said Nelson. "It's simply a case of states' rights and the States won an important victory when this bill passed."
The bill would allow Nevada, Alaska, and other states to continue distinguishing between residents and non-residents when issuing hunting and fishing licenses.
States have traditionally regulated hunting and fishing within their borders, but a recent ruling by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals questioned how states can allocate hunting tags for residents and non-residents. The new legislation would reaffirm the long-standing right of states to make decisions about tag limits and licenses.
"This legislation will benefit and unite sportsman and conservationists everywhere, as well to help promote continuing pro active wildlife management for generations to come," said Clint Bentley, Commissioner of the Nevada Board of Wildlife. "I'd like to thank the Senators for standing up for sportsmen and wildlife managers."
The House of Representatives still needs to approve the amendment. The Supplemental Appropriations Act will go to a joint Senate/House Conference Committee where that decision will be made.

Liverpool midfielder Alberto Aquilani is still a target for AC Milan as the Italian giants look to boost their options in the centre of the park.
The 27-year-old Italian played on loan at the San Siro last season, where he scored one goal in 23 league appearances.
Milan are looking to reinforce their midfield line with Clarence Seedorf, Gennaro Gattuso and Mathieu Flamini all out of contract this summer.
Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani said: "Before August 31, another midfielder will arrive, it could be Aquilani or somebody else.
"We haven't spoken yet to Aquilani. He is a Liverpool player."
Aquilani's agent Franco Zavaglia revealed yesterday he had not received any offers for his client and that the 27-year-old midfielder was set to return to Liverpool.
Aquilani is under contract with the Premier League side until June 2014 but is considered the ideal replacement for Flamini, who will not be offered a new deal at Milan.
"The time has expired for Flamini and we have already told his lawyer that we will not wait any longer," Galliani said.
The former Arsenal midfielder joined Milan in 2008 but missed most of last season with a serious knee injury.
The Frenchman will become a free agent next month.

A 24-year-old Sierra Vista woman was arrested Saturday and faces charges of selling heroin, a city official said.
The Sierra Vista Police Department recently received a "reliable tip" that Jacqueline Brittain was selling heroin, so detectives began surveillance, said Judy Hector, spokeswoman for the city of Sierra Vista.
Saturday Brittain was pulled over for a traffic violation and a drug sniffing police dog "alerted traffic officers to the presence of a controlled substance in her vehicle," Hector said. "With probable cause established, police searched the vehicle and found a plastic bag containing a black tar substance consistent with heroin."
About a gram of heroin was found in the car, Hector said.
After she was taken into custody, police obtained a search warrant for Brittain's residence in the 4300 block of Avenida Palermo, where they found another 9 grams of heroin.
The street value for all 10 grams was about $1,200, Hector said.
Brittain was booked into the Cochise County jail on a $5,000 bond. She faces charges of possession of narcotic drugs, possession of narcotic drugs for sale and transportation of narcotic drugs.

Need to know:
"Today, they took two of our family," one man in Deir Al Balah, central Gaza, told GlobalPost. "Tomorrow, maybe they'll take me. There is nowhere safe. Are we safe here?"
That was yesterday. Today, the question is just as hard to answer. The conflict in Gaza and Israel has now been going on for seven days. Another grim milestone: more than 100 Palestinians are dead.
So no, it is not safe in Gaza. But – cold comfort – it's slightly safer than it could have been, since Israel has reportedly halted its plans for a ground invasion in order to give peace talks a chance. UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have joined the mediation efforts led by Egypt, flying in for meetings in Cairo, Jerusalem and the West Bank.
Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi has gone so far as to say that he expects Israeli "aggression" in Gaza to stop today. We don't yet know what that means – but GlobalPost's correspondents will have the latest from Gaza, from Israel and beyond.
Want to know:
Goma, the regional capital of eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, is now under rebel control.
Heavily armed rebels entered the city this morning, witnesses said, after days of intensified fighting. They belong to the group known as M23, and they are battling the Congolese army and its UN peacekeeper allies for control of one of Africa's most mineral-rich regions.
The rebellion threatens to become a full-scale regional war, as Congo accuses neighboring Rwanda and Uganda of backing the rebels, and Rwanda accuses Congo of shelling its territory. Both Kigali and Kampala vigorously deny the charges are true, despite evidence to the contrary in a recently leaked UN report; Uganda even blames that report for the current escalation.
What's indisputable, though, is the toll of all this on civilians. More than 50,000 people have fled camps and homes in Goma since Sunday and are said to be in dire need of shelter, water and food.
Dull but important:
Rimsha Masih, the 14-year-old Pakistani Christian attacked by a mob for allegedly burning pages from the Koran, no longer faces prosecution for blasphemy.
A court has thrown out all charges against Masih, who is said to have Down's Syndrome and is unable to read or write. She faced life in prison if convicted under Pakistan's notorious blasphemy law.
Even without the threat of jail, Rimsha's lawyer says she and her family still "live in fear." They have had to be moved to a secret location since she was accused in early September, for fear of vigilante reprisals.
It appears they may have been the victims of a plot to incite religious hatred, with the Muslim cleric who first accused Rimsha now charged with planting the evidence himself. Yet even so, the prosecution says it plans to pursue the case against her, even if it means going to the Supreme Court.
Just because:
So Twinkies aren't quite dead after all. Yay?
Hostess, the company that makes the spongey snacks, has agreed to mediation with its labor union in a last-ditch attempt to avoid bankruptcy. If the two sides can reach a compromise, it could stop the cake-maker closing its plants, liquidating its assets and turning Twinkies, Ho Hos and Ding Dongs into a distant, calorific dream.
That's good news if you love Twinkies; slightly less good news if you love 'em so much you forked out hundreds of dollars on eBay for an emergency stockpile.
Strange but true:
Those narrow hips... that slender waist... and those thighs, good gracious, those thighs. China's next top model has a figure many teenage girls would kill for. Aaaand he's a 72-year-old man.
Meet everyone's new favorite cross-dressing grandpa, Liu Xianping. He's the proud clotheshorse for his granddaughter's womenswear designs at her online store, and very stylish he is too.
"Why unacceptable [for someone like me to wear women's clothes]?" Liu wonders, reasonably enough. "I'm very old and all that I care about is to be happy."
His posing (seriously, Pops can smize) is making a lot of other people happy, too: his granddaughter's sales have reportedly increased sixfold.

Colour me disappointed so far, although I'm not very far in at all. I did enjoy the demo, so I think it will get better.
This is close to the worst stability I have ever encountered (yes, well beyond other classic problem games) with regular crashes, hangs and poor performance in some areas while getting great performance in others. I'm sure the known 68xx series bug is part of the problem but given that this is surely one of the most popular cards on the market (6800GT to be precise, and I'm not installing old drivers), it's hard to forgive.
In addition, despite the Steam release being delayed outside of NA for two days I still had problems with missing files (thanks for the tip, txa1265) - not Arkane's fault but I assumed Valve/Ubisoft/whoever would have fixed it given the extra time.
I quite like DM's melee but these early stages have the action broken up by some poorly paced intervening sections, complete with pedestrian story telling, ordinary voiceover and annoying companion (what's her name?).
As I said, I liked the demo so I'm hoping it gets better.

Mayer Brown's London office has posted a 10 per cent increase in total revenue for the 2010 financial year.
The rise, to £102m, takes the firm's City revenue back up through the £100m barrier for the first time since 2008 and comes after a 16 per cent drop in fee income in 2009 from £111.6m to £93m.
The London office's performance contrasts with Mayer Brown's firmwide results, which saw both total turnover and average profit remain effectively flat.
The US firm's total revenue in 2010 was $1.107bn while average profit per equity partner (PEP) rose 1 per cent to $1.07m.
The US firm does not break out profit data on an office basis, but sources suggest that Mayer Brown's London average PEP rose by in excess of 20 per cent.
That suggestion is backed up by confirmation from the firm's London office senior partner Sean Connolly that Mayer Brown has already paid out all of the profits to its partners for 2010.
"We normally work on a 15-month cycle and so typically have paid the partner profits out by the end of March," says Connolly. "This year we've paid out partner profits already.
The results from the first US firm to report 2010 London revenue suggests a return to form for Mayer Brown City's office after a period of some upheaval.
Over the past two years Mayer Brown has moved to a new office on Bishopsgate, lost its London office head when global vice-chair Paul Maher quit to launch Greenberg Traurig Maher, and endured the global financial meltdown.
"It's fair to say it was a bit of a horror show in the financial year between April 2009 and April 2010," said Connolly. "Calendar year 2010 showed a bit more resilience."

Sugar-shock foodography: Crave Dessert Bar & Lounge opens in the Spire
Lori Midson
Visions of sugarplums danced in their heads, while cakes...and sticky toffee pudding...and croissants drizzled with chocolate made eyes wide at yesterday's opening of Crave Dessert Bar & Lounge, a sultry sugar house that's now swelling bellies with sweets in the Spire.
The dessert bar, the lovechild of Allen Milham and his business partner Darrell Naughton, the two of whom also own Organic Pizza Company, an outpost of which is conveniently located next door, displays decadence at every turn, the glass cases brimming with everything from a twenty-layer cake to apple crisps to diabolically addictive doughnut holes powdered with vanilla. There are savory cravings, too -- salumi from Il Mondo Vecchio and cheeses from the Cheese Importers Warehouse -- an espresso bar that pumps out a half-dozen hot chocolate drinks, cappuccino, NOVO java and lattes, not to mention a canvas of wines, ports, beers and cocktails, including one that's aptly named "Chocolate Kisses."
I stopped in late last week, during a blustery, frigid night, to sample the indulgences and sip sexy cocktails, and captured some of the the sugar highs on camera, the visuals of which are on the next page.

Parents are starting to question why this foreign born B+ list mostly movie actor spends so much time with their kids. At first they thought it was nice. Now they are wondering if something sinister is going on.
49 Comments on "Blind Item #1"
Wanted to chime in that this blind is slimey and defend Russell Brand. Those kids at the Lakers game are the sons of his long time friend Mick, who was also there. Russell has taken Mick and his boys to numerous sporting events over the last several years. They were at the Galaxy game this week and the olympics as well. You can find pics going back many years of them at West Ham soccer matches as well.
@feraltart – hugs. That is a tough situation. Infertility sucks!
@dee123 Amen to that
I don't like this blind. We're just speculating on a speculation. Is that English? It's not fair to name someone when the parents don't even know of its true.
S. B. Cohen for my guess, though.
Soooooo, this celeb is purportedly molesting the kids in the hospital. Hmmm… sounds like bologna.
Enty – if you have information about this GO TO THE POLICE. Quit posting about child molestation.
I hope I am misunderstanding this blind. Basically this star visits and spends time with ailing children and the parents are now concerned he might be molesting them?!?
If I had even a stray thought something like that was going on and this was my kid? …… It just seems strange is all.
I'm just glad finally there are some parents appearing on this site who appear to be protecting their kids instead of pimping them out.
Ok, it sucks to throw names out there as a possble pedo. I'm boycotting this thread….after this post…and that's all 😉
Is it the guy from Rocky & Bullwinkle, Sinister barstool???
Ethan Hawke? Sinister guess.
I think I can say that Russell Brand has already made it VERY CLEAR what he likes sexually, and it's not children.
I honestly read this as a (foreign born) friend of the parents who is spending a lot of time with the parents' kids. I didn't get the whole hospital/kid vibe from this blind at all.
russel brand
This is because Russell Brand took a couple of kids to the Lakers game last night. Russell Brand, known hetero horn dog, taking boys courtside to a Laker game. Yes, obviously a reason for concern.
/eye roll
Must be a slow day for blinds if this makes the cut.
The illumanti
Reminds me of the time that Enty accused Fred Astaire of being a child molester, on absolutely no evidence.
Russel Brand and shenanigans. It's a big brothers/big sisters thing. Way to half-ass a blind.
so now its suspect if you spend time with your children? what a world!
Lot's of athlete's come in and visit with kids in a hospital setting without press- the kids enjoy the distraction and some of them are parents who really care. I'd imagine it's much the same with actors/actresses.
If someone is taking an excessive liking or interest to a child that's usually a big WARNING something is up. IF, I repeat! IF! This blind has truth to it I sincerely hope these parents take their child to a therapist stat to find out if there's anything to the speculation and then proceed accordingly.
Russell Brand isn't a "mostly" movie actor. He's more well known as a comedian/presenter.
The blind makes no mention of kids in hospitals or anything like that. I read that this person is spending time with another family' children and they suspect something sinister is going down.
I have no guess.
"If this is true, report it to Children's Services. If it's not true – it's kind of disgusting to put this idea in anyone's head about an innocent party"
Also, what is going on to make the situation "sinister"?
Obviously something weird is happening if the parents are becoming suspicious.
I really hope beyond hope that this isn't referring to Ryan Gosling and how he enjoys doing children related charity work.
His band also does a lot of work with children's choirs and incorporates them into all of their songs.
I feel sick now.
@LeGrange, spill……
Stuck there with clear and obvious signs of Peter Pan syndrome… Yes, it is real and very sad….
My detective skills are going to have to go into over time for this one! This is not something you want people saying about you!
I guess there is such a thing as bad publicity!!!
Wow. Lame.
Russell Brand. There were pictures of him in the DM with two young boys at a basketball game. However, if parents think their kids are being harmed then report it to the police so a proper investigation can be done, instead of just dragging someone's name through the mud. Once an accusation like that is made, true or not, people will always wonder.
It's Alf
The word "sinister" could be a very obvious clue. A movie by that name has just been released in theaters.
I hate blinds like this 🙁 And there's barely any clues…
Totally agree. Once that suspicion is out there, even if it's proven false can still taint a persons name forever.
Not worth it (to try and even guess on this one)
SusanB, agree.
If this is true, report it to Children's Services. If it's not true – it's kind of disgusting to put this idea in anyone's head about an innocent party.
Gross. this is just like Michael Jackson. he was either stuck in a childhood state or a pedo.
you can't throw out accusations like that if they have no merit.
Phew! It's just that he's the first foreign-born actor who spends time with kids that came to mind. I'm so glad this can't be him!
CB is A list. He has an oscar and he's Batman! So I highly doubt its him. Plus I doubt he has ever done TV (blind says mostly movies)
Anyone check DMC?
Sorry Enty i'm not getting my pitchfork & torch for this witch hunt. 1st blind i've never answered.
Cathy- Christain Bale is A list, thank god!
I have no idea
Maybe the actor is shooting blanks and wants to give back to kids who idolize the actor?
Christian Bale is higher than B+, right? Because I would cry if I found out there was something shady about all the sick kids he visits in hospitals.

Does replacing the FSU fix the blower problem or is my blower out? I wanted to replace the FSU yesterday but i had a feeling it was the fan. I took my car into an independent BMW repair shop and they supposedly tried replacing the FSU and the fan didn't run(is he blowing smoke up my a$$?). anyhow, he quoted me $700 to replace the blower fan motor which costs about $375.
first symptoms, i heard clicking sounds under the dash. I turned off the radio and it was still making that sound so i turned off the a/c. I noticed the sound went away, i than turned on the a/c again and it came back. after turning on and off the a/c the blower decided to crap out. So the blower right now is not working at all. I would like to know what yall think this could be. Thanks for all the advice and help.
Elvis- Great post, very detailed! Keep up the good work.
Hey there...I have a 90 535i that has a similar problem to cheweez. I can hear my AC compressor kick on, but the blower doesn't blow at all.....well sometimes it will first thing in the morning, but only for a few minutes. I pulled the FSU (My car has the "sword" style) out and looked at it...definitely looks a bit crusty. That's a $200 part for my car. I'm just wondering if I should start with that, or if I do some other diagnostics first? I pulled the fuse out and looked at it, but how can you tell if those box-like fuses are blown? And I doubt it is blown if the blower does kick on every so often.
Basically what I'm trying to get at...do you guys feel pretty strongly that it's the FSU? I'm fine with buying it...hell the dealer was going to charge me $800 to fix it, and they were talking about getting behind the dash to check on all the wiring to find a short in the system.

'Castle' Season 4, Episode 6, 'Demons': TV Recap
It's a potentially paranormal murder on "Castle" this week.
Castle and Beckett arrive at a crime and Castle is marveled by the fact that his favorite TV ghost hunter is on the scene just minutes after the murder. The body isn't even cold in this haunted New York house.
Turns out, the ghost hunter, Jack is the victim.
"And the hunter becomes the hunted," says Castle.
This ghost hunter has a TV show and Castle is an avid viewer. He knows Jack would have gone into the house to seek out ghosts and locked it down once he was in. The show producer confirms this – Jack was in there alone, but the producer has tapes. Oddly the tapes cut out just as Jack starts to comment on some weird activity. But they reveal Jack tracking some serious EMF activity – that's ghost-speak for paranormal movement.

I have been a sports fan since before I could talk. I love everything about sports.
All families need a group activity and for mines that was sports, specifically football, wrestling and the Olympics. To this day every Sunday we are all in one room or on the phone together cheering for our different teams (because none of us like the same team) having a great time.
Wrestling is also huge for us. We were a bunch of Hulkamaniacs al the way down to my grandparents. We continue to find time for the random pay per view.
Lastly I LOVE MMA. Rowdy Ronda Rousey is amazing and I don't care if you disagree. Enough said on that topic :D!

Jennifer Aniston Flashes Huge Engagement Ring in Santa Fe (PHOTOS)
On Saturday, Jennifer Aniston was seen rocking an engagement ring the size of Mars as she and fiance Justin Theroux enjoyed a little downtime together in Santa Fe.
Full details on the diamond have yet to be revealed, but based on these photos, one can see that it's huge and, well, that's all that really matters, right?
Aniston is currently in Santa Fe filming the comedy We're the Millers, in which she plays a prostitute who pretends to be the wife of a drug dealer (Jason Sudekis).
The couple got engaged on Theroux's birthday, August 10, over dinner at Manhattan's Blue Hill restaurant. They have been dating for over a year.

Seeking Shanti
Human Boundaries, Human Rights
As a human rights organization that advocates for Hindus in America, the Hindu American Foundation is also concerned with the rights of others around the world, particularly when they are impacted by American policy and actions that our nation takes. As Hindus, we are more likely to be aware of the unfair treatment to other Hindus around the world. And it is our dharma to take care of our Hindu brethren. A film tour with movie maker Rahul Rijji Nair and his documentary, The Human Boundaries, was an obvious fit for HAF's advocacy goals, and as an Executive Council member of HAF, I was fortunate to be able to organize an event in southeastern Michigan to highlight the suffering of Pakistani Hindu refugees in a camp on the other side of the world.
The Human Boundaries is a 35-minute documentary on the life of 151 Hindu refugees from Pakistan who entered India in September 2011 with a one-month tourist visa. Systematic violence, rampant discrimination, and widespread restrictions on religious freedom have led thousands of Pakistani Hindus to seek refuge in India in recent years, and the movie highlights the plight of one group who sought refuge in India. Sheltered in a camp on the outskirts of New Delhi, these refugees faced deportation once their visas expired.
The event in metro-Detroit, as it did in most of the various metropolitan regions where it was screened, had an audience mostly from the Indian-American community. In the audience were a few people from the broader community, like MI Roundtable's Director of Programs Steve Spreitzer, which gave me hope that we can work together to promote social justice both locally and internationally. The screening enabled people to hear directly from Rahul Nair, and to ask questions.
Nair, who draws inspiration from Art of Living founder Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, said the title refers to the "boundaries drawn across the human conscience." His narration of how he came to film the movie and what happened afterward was simple and moving: the film was shot in a highly restricted and sensitive environment inside the refugee camp; he and a few friends used minimal equipment over three days to get footage that would tell the story of this group of refugees. The resulting documentary traces the difficulties they had to face in Pakistan, life inside the camp, and fears arising from their status: the Indian government has failed to recognize the majority of them as refugees or grant them asylum. Some in the audience questioned why HAF has put the Indian government in a negative light, but Associate Director Jay Kansara explained how HAF has urged the Indian government to provide formal legal status to Pakistani Hindu refugees. I reiterated the goal of advocating for Pakistani Hindus who are seeking refuge in India: we are trying to bring awareness to the plight of refugees, so that policies and actions can be taken to remedy the untenable situation. It is an issue of social justice and human rights.
In fact, HAF commemorated World Refugee Day by announcing this national film tour of the Human Boundaries this summer. Drawing attention to the plight of Hindu refugees and displaced persons throughout the world, the Foundation urged the UN Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) to address the escalating crisis facing Pakistani Hindu refugees living in India and also requested UNHCR officials to oversee the protection and shelter needs of Balochi Hindus internally displaced within Pakistan by violent conflict and religious oppression.

Fos, France (AFP) June 21, 2013
"I watched my tank of heating oil rise up out of its concrete casing and just float away, like a boat."
Paulette Peythieu has spent a large chunk of her 83 years in the tiny village of Fos on France's mountainous southwestern border with Spain.
But she had never seen anything quite like the floods that, this week, left the hamlet devastated and cut off from the rest of the world.
"You know, I've been wiped out," the 83-year-old confessed on Friday after rescue services and Red Cross volunteers reached the village, three days after the Garonne river was transformed into a raging torrent, wreaking havoc across the Haute Garonne department.
Peythieu, who was born in the village of around 250 habitants, watched the devastation unfold from the first floor of her little house. "You cannot imagine how heartbreaking it was to see that," she said.
The pensioner's entire garden was covered by around 40cm (16 inches) of mud that was compacting hard as the water drained out of it.
On top lay two huge tree trunks, ripped from their roots in a telling indication of the raw power of the torrents that claimed three lives in the region this week.
One of the two bridges in the village was washed away after a loose tree trunk smashed into its central pillar. Weakened, the structure could not resist the tonnes of water sweeping down from mountain tops where unseasonally large deposits of snow had been quickly melted by a sudden spike in temperatures.
In the village's main street, Sebastien Gillet, 30, recounted how he had been forced to rescue his grandmother from her cottage, which was badly damaged by a gas explosion triggered by a leak that was caused by the speed at which the cellar was flooded.
"When the electricity came back on, that must have provided a spark and everything went boom," he said. "The floor on the ground level is wrecked and the windows have all been blown out."
Inspecting the large number of dead tree trunks and branches strewn across the village, a number of residents blamed the build-up of wood debris further upstream for exacerbating the damage.
"You are not allowed to touch anything in the Garonne but you have to be able to cut down dead trees and clear them out. I saw waves pass in front of me after the blockages caused by bits of trees gave way," Michel Berra, a retired teacher who was, like almost everyone else in the village, shovelling mud.
Rescue workers used motorised pumps to clear water from the worst affected properties and Red Cross teams were helping residents with cleaning up.
In the village post office, other volunteers distributed free food supplies provided by a supermarket located just across the nearby border with Spain.
And the local mayor was taking orders for prescription medicines to be collected and delivered by firefighters pending the reopening of the road into the village.

Dr. A.Celestine Raj Manohar M.D.,
Most Youth Today - Poem by Dr. A.Celestine Raj Manohar M.D.,
They will not hear what elders say;
They want to do and have their way;
They want enjoyment, night and day;
They will take risks, oh, come what may!
They want to know the bad, then good;
They want to taste rubbish, then food;
They want more freedom than they should;
They do all things as per their mood;
They do not want advice from old;
They are adventurous and bold;
They go for metals better than gold;
They buy anything that is sold!
They want to know the world on own;
They go for luxury and loan;
They spend more time over the phone;
They want to be left all alone!
They want to learn all things too fast;
They care not for future or past;
They love quick fame, name and news-cast;
To them, the world's no longer vast!
They want to learn, do things with ease;
They think they can cure all disease;
They love music, songs, dance, not peace;
They nap through dreams that never cease.
They want to reach all peaks o'er-night;
They do not care if dark or light;
They will believe by science or sight;
They shouldn't be stopped or they would fight.
But all isn't bad about our youth;
They are in search for every truth;
They think smart, expect not much fruit;
They ask queries to find the root.
They just believe in themselves first;
Some ardently follow Lord Christ;
They yearn for knowledge food and thirst;
They won't give up if things turn worst!
They choose what's best the world has got;
They do what senses tell and ought;
They do not care for luck or lot;
They want to reach the top-most slot!
The modern youth will have their way!
Adults can't hold them in their sway;
Without the sun, they still make hay;
They do such things that well repay.
Let's praise the youth for what they are!
To them light-years is not a bar;
It makes no difference, near or far;
But they mustn't start a modern war!

The journal is concerned with extending and integrating the study and management of nature's household (ecology) and humankind's household (economics). This integration is necessary because conceptual and professional isolation have led to economic and environmental policies which are mutually destructive rather than reinforcing in the long term. The journal is transdisciplinary in spirit and methodologically open.
Specific research areas covered include: valuation of natural resources, sustainable agriculture and development, ecologically integrated technology, integrated ecologic-economic modelling at scales from local to regional to global, implications of thermodynamics for economics and ecology, renewable resource management and conservation, critical assessments of the basic assumptions underlying current economic and ecological paradigms and the implications of alternative assumptions, economic and ecological consequences of genetically engineered organisms, and gene pool inventory and management, alternative principles for valuing natural wealth, integrating natural resources and environmental services into national income and wealth accounts, methods of implementing efficient environmental policies, case studies of economic-ecologic conflict or harmony, etc. New issues in this area are rapidly emerging and will find a ready forum in Ecological Economics.

Check if you have been scammed
There are several things that might give you a clue that someone has stolen your identity, stolen money from an account of yours, or is otherwise using your personal details for their own gain. Here are the essentials to look out for:
Get Safe Online estimate that fraud and cybercrime cost the UK economy a total of £10.9 billion during the last year.
You check your credit report and find entries that you cannot explain
You notice transactions on your bank or credit card statement that were not carried out by you
You apply to claim benefits but are told you are already claiming
You receive bills or invoices for things you have not knowingly paid for
You are refused forms of credit even though you have a good credit history
Post you are expecting never arrives
If any of these things happen to you, you can be reasonably suspicious that you are at risk of or may already be a victim of fraud.
However you should not panic. It may be that a transaction on your statement can be traced back to a harmless source; for example you might see a payment of £50 to your local supermarket when you know you only spent £20 - until you remember you asked for £30 cashback that day. It may also be that a mistake has been made by your bank which can easily be rectified.
What to do about it
Tell your bank. This is the first thing you should do if you spot an anomaly on your bank account or credit card statement.
They will step up security on your account to stop other unauthorised transactions and should refund any money that has been taken; they are obliged to do this by the Payment Service Regulations 2009 and The Lending Code.
Check your credit report. If anything looks suspicious get it rectified before it causes issues. Do this by speaking to the company directly or submitting a query via the credit reference agency. You can get a copy of your statutory credit report for £2 or sign up to a free trial for a pay monthly credit report service with Experian or Equifax; just make sure you cancel before you are charged.
Register with Cifas. This will put a flag against your name on the National Fraud Database so companies will carry out extra checks before they approve applications for financial products in your name. Membership costs £20 a year and may mean that it takes a little longer for you to be approved for credit in the future, but it is likely to be worthwhile.
Speak to Action Fraud Your bank should always be your first port of call if you think you have been scammed, but it is also worth calling Action Fraud for more guidance.
The service is run by the City of London Police working alongside the National Fraud Intelligence Bureau and is the UK's national reporting centre for all fraud and internet crime. You can call them on on 0300 123 2040 or submit an enquiry on their website.
Stop it happening again
While no one is infallible, there are a number of precautions you can take to protect yourself and your bank details.
Keep your personal information personal
Cancel any lost or stolen credit cards as soon as they go missing; this will help to minimise any collateral damage. It can be useful to keep a list of your different accounts and the relevant contact numbers together in a safe place just in case of emergency.
Keep your passwords and pin numbers secret. Memorise them, and never write them down in your wallet or diary (or any other equally obvious place). It is strongly advisable to use different passwords for different accounts and to avoid using personal information like dates of birth or names.
Check your statements. Keep a close eye out for unauthorised transactions and notify your bank immediately if you notice anything 'dodgy'.
Play it safe online
Use only reputable websites and only ever enter your personal details on secure websites signified by 'https://' at the start of the url and a padlock or key symbol displayed on the webpage.
Your bank or any other financial institution will never contact you by email asking you for your personal details. If you receive an email of this nature delete it straight away and never click on any links enclosed. These particular scams are known as phishing and exist with the aim of transferring you to a look a like site and capturing your personal details.
Ensure your computer (and any computer you enter your details into) has an up to date firewall and anti-virus software installed, this will help prevent hackers gaining access to your personal information while you are online.
Protect your mail
If you move house, arrange to have your mail redirected to your new home for at least a year. You should also notify your credit card companies of your move along with any other businesses you have dealings with.
You should never throw away any old bills, bank statements or personal correspondence without shredding them first. It is best to use a 'cross-cut' rather than a 'strip' shredder as these do a much better job of destroying your information.
Protect your debit card
When taking cash out from an ATM you should always:
Look for signs of tampering - does there appear to be something stuck on the front, is it different to how usual cash machines look?
Use your other hand to shield what you're doing from view as you type your PIN number into a cash machine
Never let anyone disappear with your cards regardless of where you are and what you are paying for, most establishments now have portable card machines.

In the grubby business of statesmanship, acts of true heroism can still stir even the Prince's jaded heart.
In the last fading hours of an unspeakably dull federal election campaign that has put an entire nation into deep slumber, Abbott has stepped up boldly with his kind offer to stay conscious for us all.
The headlines were already written: Will the Last One Awake Please Turn Out the Lights. Now we know who that last person will be – Our Tone, future PM and national treasure. He'll be the helpful fellow patrolling the streets to shout at those wretched noisy neighbours, and dialling those late-night radio chats to talk about his love life (in between the ads featuring those very attractive sounding young ladies).
Late-night dress code for men in their 50s generally involves a trench coat. Or perhaps a beach robe. While publicly Tony is saying he won't sleep for the last 36 hours of the campaign, the Prince understands that if the pilot program is successful he plans not to sleep for the next three years (it worked for
It was another big week for the Sleepmakers. PM
The hypodermic dart finally appeared to be taking effect on
In a shock move, News Limited papers around the country endorsed Our Tone as the best thing since sliced bread, but in a disappointing outcome, Sydney's Daily Telegraph only devoted its first five pages on Friday to saying so.
Hopefully there'll be none of that ambivalence when Abbott is PM. Abbott waggishly told that nice Marcus Stephen, the accommodating president of Nauru, when he was here that "sometimes I think we need a guided democracy"; that media in some other countries were "much less disruptive than they are here".
Also there will be no risk of being rolled by cabinet over his election promises, like he was with the "rolled gold" promise he made about Medicare benefits in the Howard government. He has a great idea about the time slot he'll be calling cabinet meetings. He's a very, very early morning guy.
There'll be particular satisfaction on election night among the Labor Right strategists who plotted the downfall of Rudd. The move to the right to counter Abbott may not have been a total success in electoral terms, but has worked a treat with the real enemy, the Labor Left.
Gillard's move to the right has pushed Labor voters towards the Greens, who may actually win one or two seats in the House of Representatives. But they will all be inner-city seats held by Labor Left. So that's all right then.

AT&T Introduces U-verse in Sacramento Area
Customers Have a New Choice in Television
High Definition Programming and Other Compelling Features
Make AT&T U-verse TV 'Cooler Than Cable'
Sacramento, California, August 20, 2007
A new world of communications and entertainment is now available to thousands of residents in the Sacramento, Stockton, and Modesto areas. AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T) has announced the launch of AT&T U-verseSM in parts of local communities, including the city of Sacramento, Sacramento County, Carmichael, Fair Oaks, Folsom, Gold River, Lincoln, Modesto, Rancho Cordova, Rocklin and Stockton.
AT&T U-verse uses AT&T's new fiber-rich network to offer cutting-edge television and high speed Internet services. AT&T is the only national provider to offer a 100 percent Internet Protocol (IP)-based television service, making U-verse TV "cooler than cable" and one of the most robust and feature-rich services available today.
AT&T U-verse offers customers a combination of next-generation digital television — including access to more than 26 High Definition (HD) channels — and high speed Internet access. The award-winning AT&T U-verse TV includes cutting-edge features that are unmatched in the market, and the new U-verse enabled AT&T Yahoo! High Speed Internet builds on AT&T's position as the nation's leading provider of broadband DSL.
AT&T will continue to increase U-verse availability throughout the area on an ongoing basis.
"We're thrilled to bring AT&T U-verse to even more Californians," said Loretta Walker, AT&T vice president and general manager for the Sacramento area. "Our current California customers have told us that they enjoy the features, value and choice that U-verse TV offers, and we know the Sacramento Valley will love it too."
The expansion of AT&T U-verse services in California follows progressive legislation passed by the California Legislature and signed in September 2006 by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Beginning today, where available, AT&T U-verse TV will offer Sacramento Valley customers:
- A compelling variety of TV packages with more than 320 channels to choose from, including digital music, local, movie and sports programming, as well as a premium Spanish-language package. Most programming packages include up to three HD-capable receivers — one with a digital video recorder (DVR) that allows customers to pause, rewind, replay and record live TV — at no extra charge. (Customers may add more receivers for $5 each a month.)
- More HD programming than the local cable provider. HD technology produces images more than twice as detailed as standard analog TV and delivers rich, realistic video and multi-channel, movie-theater-quality sound. AT&T U-verse TV offers customers access to a lineup of more than 26 HD channels, available in both 720p and 1080i formats, along with HD DVR capability. Access to HD service is $10 a month with any U-verse TV package.
- AT&T Yahoo! Web and Mobile Remote Access to DVR, which allows U-verse TV and Internet customers to schedule recordings from any Web-connected PC or compatible AT&T mobile phone (wireless service charges apply) using their AT&T Yahoo! account. These features are unique to AT&T among local video providers.
- The ability to record up to four programs at once using a DVR receiver. This capability is another exclusive feature unmatched in the marketplace.
- Built-in Picture-in-Picture functionality that allows subscribers to "channel surf" on any television without leaving the program they're watching.
- Fast channel-changing, reducing the delay experienced with other digital video services.
- A growing Video on Demand (VOD) library with one-touch access to movies and events.
- The ability to search for programs using the title or an actor's name to receive real-time, relevant results from upcoming linear or VOD programs.
- Easy-to-use parental controls to block live programs, recorded programs or videos by specific channel or ratings.
- Specially designed U-verse receivers, manufactured by Motorola, all of which are HD-capable and include universal remote controls that provide backlit buttons and one-touch access to VOD and other features.
AT&T plans to add more channels and interactive applications in the future.
Customers can choose from multiple combinations of TV and Internet packages to customize their entertainment experience. In addition to U100, U200 and the popular U300 and U400 packages, AT&T also offers U-family, a market-leading family-friendly programming option. Current AT&T U-verse TV offers start at $44 a month, depending on the selected programming and Internet packages (other monthly charges apply).
Now through Sept. 30, new customers can join AT&T U-verse and receive their choice of TV service for the first full month or one year of The Movie Package when they choose the U200 package or above, or customers who order a qualifying package online can receive both offers. Thereafter, customers will continue to receive regular recurring monthly discounts on their U-verse package when they subscribe to a bundle of TV and Internet services. AT&T is also offering new customers a 30-day money-back guarantee and free professional installation by an AT&T technician.
Three packages of AT&T Yahoo! High Speed Internet U-verse Enabled are featured for AT&T U-verse customers:
- Elite: Downstream up to 6.0 Mbps, upstream up to 1.0 Mbps.
- Pro: Downstream up to 3.0 Mbps, upstream up to 1.0 Mbps.
- Express: Downstream up to 1.5 Mbps, upstream up to 1.0 Mbps.
All high speed Internet packages offered as part of AT&T U-verse include wireless home-networking at no additional charge, giving users the freedom to access online photos, streaming video, games and other information using a wireless-enabled laptop or other device. Subscribers also receive virtually unlimited e-mail storage and powerful anti-virus and anti-spam software.
The deployment of next-generation video services reflects AT&T's strategy to become customers' preferred communications and entertainment provider and to deliver a video solution that provides greater value, flexibility and simplicity than competitors' offerings. AT&T U-verse TV represents a critical new service in the company's video portfolio, which includes AT&T HomezoneSM service and satellite broadcast offerings. AT&T U-verse TV also underscores the company's strategy to deliver integrated services to the three screens that consumers value most: the TV, the PC and the wireless phone.

Since I'm new in town, I need to make some friends…if only this were like elementary school where I could walk up to a random kid and say do you want to be my friend?
I guess I could do that now, but that might be a little awkward.
Once you're out of school and in the "real world" its not as easy to get out there and make friends. According to the HappinessProject.com, here are some ways to make friends in a new place:
1. Show up. Just as Woody Allen said that "Eighty percent of success is showing up," a big part of friendship is showing up. Whenever you have the chance to see other people, take it. Go to the party. Stop by someone's desk. Make the effort.
Also, the mere exposure effect describes the fact that repeated exposure makes you like someone better – and makes that person like you better, too. You're much more likely to become friends with someone if you see him or her often.
2. Join a group. Being part of a natural group, where you have common interests and are brought together automatically, is the easiest way to make friends: starting a new job, taking a class, having a baby, joining a congregation, or moving to a new neighborhood are great opportunities to join a group. If those situations aren't an option, try to find a different group to join. Get a dog, for example. Or pursue a hobby more seriously. An added advantage to making friends through a group is that you can strengthen your friendships to several people at once — very helpful if you don't have a lot of free time.
3. Form a group. If you can't find an existing group to join, start a group based around something that interests you. Studies show that each common interest between people boosts the chances of a lasting relationship, and also brings about a 2% increase in life satisfaction. Movies, wine, cheese, pets, marathon-training, a language, a worthy cause…I know people in all these sorts of groups.
4. Say nice things about other people. It's a kind way to behave; also, studies show that because of the psychological phenomenon of spontaneous trait transference, people unintentionally transfer to you the traits you ascribe to other people. So if you tell Jean that Pat is arrogant, unconsciously Jean associates that quality with you. On the other hand, if you say that Pat is hilarious, you'll be linked to that quality.
5. Set a target. This strategy sounds very calculating, but it has really worked for me. When I enter a situation where I meet a new set of people, I set myself the goal of making three new friends. This seems artificial, but somehow, this shift makes me behave differently, it makes me more open to people, it prompts me to make the effort to say more than a perfunctory hello.
6.Make an effort to smile. Big surprise, studies show that the amount of time you smile during a conversation has a direct effect on how friendly you're perceived to be. In fact, people who can't smile due to facial paralysis have trouble with relationships.
7. Make friends with friends-of-friends. "Triadic closure" is the term for the fact that people tend to befriend the friends of their friends. So friends-of-friends is an excellent place to start if you're trying to expand your circle.
What other things can I do to make friends in the tri-states?!

Taxonomy NCO uses Normalised Co-Occurrence analysis to look for relationships between terms in Drupal vocabularies. This allows us to infer semantic relationships between terms, and thus to provide advanced 'you may also be interested in' links. On large vocabularies this technique can bring big improvements in user experience and SEO.
Configurable taxonomy analysis is used to find related subjects, and thus get round the problem of ever diverging and fragmenting folksonomies:
eg. Taxonomy NCO running on the School of Everything dataset finds that - Tai Chi - is related to: Qigong - Tao Yin - Taoist Yoga - chi kung - kung fu - Taiji - qi gong - Tai Chi Chuan - Meditation - Feng Shou kung fu - relaxation - martial arts - self defence - health - Yang style & Baguazhang.
Also known as "Matchy Matchy", Taxonomy NCO provides automated recommendations - "You may also be interested in ... " links. The accompanying semantic clustering module works out the big subjects of interest in a community, allowing us to provide users with a clear and dynamic form of site navigation that changes automatically as new interests bubble up in the community. Module outputs:
- A 'related subjects' block to put on node and taxonomy pages.
- Views 3 integration to give user configurable related tags views - eg. 'you may also be interested in' clickable lists
- A function to return related $tids based on a similarity cutoff value.
- A theme function to display related term names with links and SKOS RDF decoration.
The base module taxonomy_nco relies on data created by the module taxonomy_nco_analysis. This analyses taxonomy data. Please see Readme.txt in the module for installation and configuration instructions. Taxonomy NCO analysis works best on larger data sets for good semantic inference, but 'you may also be interested in... ' recommendation functionality works well on smaller vocabularies. Functions are provided to output similarity data in RDF and RDFa formats as SKOS serialisation.
This module was presented at Drupal London - the presentation is on slideshare:
Joining the Docs: Back to the Future with Taxonomy and the New Semantics
Original Drupal 5 version developed at School of Everything
Drupal 6 & 7 ports and ongoing maintenance is supported by Brightonart
Taxonomy NCO works on its own, but it does also have integration for the following modules:
- Taxonomy Entity Index - For the analysis of taxonomy on entities other than nodes.
- Multiblock - For multiple Taxonomy NCO blocks with different configs. This is especially for use with the new multi-vocabulary functionality.
In order to make use of these integrations, simply install these modules and Taxonomy NCO will detect them automatically and use them.
