Andy Brasher & Josh Merritt Preview 'Brasher/Bogue and Real Friends' with Live WBKR Performance [VIDEO]
Saturday afternoon, the gates will open at Kentucky Motor Speedway in Whitesville at 2:30 for Brasher/Bogue and Real Friends, an exciting day and night of live music at the track.
On Wednesday afternoon, Andy Brasher stopped by the WBKR studio, along with another good friend Josh Merritt, to promote the event and to perform a couple of live songs for us.
In the past, Andy's done new material during his visit, but this time he and Josh performed an old favorite, "Perfect Little World."
It's the song he performed with Elliott Sublett when tied Rollie Pike for the 2011 Battle for the Big O finale victory.
I'm not sure if he's performed it here during a previous visit. Doesn't matter. Great songs bare repeating.

Peran grew up as a single child of his father; His mother died giving birth to him and his father never remarried. His father worked and lived at the Van Buren farm as field hand. As such Peran worked and lived there as well.
Peran lived in the town of Arnhem, which lies to the south of the main continent. As small secure town of about 100 families, Arnhem was more concerned with family feuds and petty social battles than the wars that are normal to the south.
Perans childhood was a good one, he got on really well with Mr. Van Burens daughter Amy who was a year older than him. Whenever they could they'd skip their chores at the farm and just have fun. During his pre-teens his father was always talking to him in the field about the responsibility of a servant to his master and all things practical. Amy taught him everything else, how to read, write, and rights all people have.
As Peran and Amy entered their teens, their relationship matured romantically. Peran never understood what Amy liked in him and whenever she asked she smiled and said "You're honest." He talked to his father about this and was beaten six ways from Sunday. His father warned him to stay from Amy. As the Van Burens grew the largest portion of the food for the town of Arnhem, Amys life and future husband would be integral to the towns politics. Perans father knew that as a servant to the family, Peran could never marry Amy.
Amy and Peran secreted their love away and it grew for years…as did the suitors for Amy. Most notably was the son of the mayor Richard. Peran detested everything about Richard, he was a fat, toady, bully who had never worked a day in his life. His black greasy hair was always slicked back and his nose in the air like he was smelling something foul. He was always telling Amy "we're going to be married" in a snide way that made her grimace. Once, Richard grabbed Amys arm as she turned away in eye shot of Peran and two other farm hands had to pry Peran of the entitled snot. Peran was punished, but not severely, as the other farm hands vouched that Richard was attacking her and Mr. Van Buren was furious at Richard.
Things got harder for Amy and Peran as they were always being watched, either by the adults or by Richard. Amy became more and more introverted as she saw the eventual outcome and was powerless to do anything about it. Peran, clueless, would constantly try to cheer her up which worked for a while and then only made her more sad. Unknown to Peran, the yearly draft for Arnhem was coming up. Due to frequent wars every town was required to give a certain number of men to the Duke. Amy suspected that Peran was going to be chosen by the mayor to clear any inconvenience to his sons marriage to Amy. So the night before the draft Amy took him to the woods and they made love.
Peran woke up the next morning thinking he had won, and that everything would be fine from now on. He was promptly gathered by his father and told of his new future of 15 years in the Dukes army. His father also told him to forget about Amy, the announcement had been made of her betrothal to Richard. His father helped him back, presented him to the army representative, told him he was proud of him but to serve well and find a new home.
Marching out of town he could see a dejected Amy standing next to Richard and Peran knew that it was over.
The next three years were spent at basic training where Peran learned to fight in formation. Peran learned how to protect his brothers in the shield wall. Peran took on to the battle clerics the company was assigned and began to become vested in learning their ways. Peran did not have the patience nor aptitude for the science of healing; however, what he lacked in smarts he made up in intuition. His dedication to serve his brothers and protect them from harm came to the attention of a paladin of Pelor, Sir Davion, who fought in the shield wall. Davion transferred himself to Perans company and began mentoring the initiate paladin.
Peran never understood much of what Davion talked about the incantations and the ritual prayers; but Peran felt Pelor in his soul. That feeling in his heart is what Davion instructed him to focus on, and his desire to protect life. Davion always poked at Perans intelligence saying he was "the only Paladin I know who could say all the wrong words to the daily prayers."
After his 15 years was up Peran was inducted as a paladin of Pelor. He was placed under the care of Sir Davion and lives with the rest of the paladins at Mimir. Perans advancement through the ranks of paladins was incredibly slow. Peran was constantly reprimanded for forgetting the steps to rituals, words to prayers, and the letter of the law. While well liked, he struggled with the basic aptitude requirements for higher ranks. As such, many paladins who were inducted after him are now a rank or two above him. Seeing how disheartened Peran was by this, Davion sent Peran to the place where his strengths could shine; the battlefield.
Peran received amazing reviews from his commanders and his superiors as Paladins recognized what they were going to do with him. As such he became a bodyguard for people important to the church during travel or innocent towns being attacked.
During a time when Pelor had seem to gone missing, Peran was assigned to protect a young cleric of Pelor by the name of Lady Kielara. She had be tasked with investigating the disappearance of Pelor. Peran realized that if, out of all his servants, Pelor had called this lady to find him she must be important to the god. Upon meeting her and her party he knew he was right. She was incredibly smart, beautiful and accomplished cleric. Upon the release of Pelor from the god Tiamat, Peran decided to follow and protect her as long as she would tolerate his presence.
See journal entries for recounts of adventures :D
- To find a peaceful place to live, after close to 20 years of war and fighting Peran wants "his place in the sun".
- Respect – Peran donates all his money, lives in a one room residence provided by the church, and (in his mind) no great deeds to his name. To him the 20 years of servitude have been worth it as great people he's protected have been able to do great things, but sometimes he thinks he'd like recognition for himself.
note this is a vice/weakness that can be used against Peran if the DM is looking for such a hook.
Hated Enemies
- Richard Peran will most likely attack Richard, despite his role as a paladin, if they meet again.
Social Interaction
Peran is Quite and Reserved for most formal social interactions. Letting those with either more etiquette, rank or verbose vocabulary speak for the party.
With friends he's Amiable. Liking to tell simple jokes ("that's what she said eh?!") and listen to the others.
- How do other perceive you in social interactions? Resereved
- How optimistic are you? Hopeful
- How trusting are you? Gullible
Decision Points
- How assertive are you at a decision point? Adaptable
- How conscientious are you about following rules? Honest
- How empathetic are you? Protective
Dire Straits
Peran becomes Focused when things get tough. With no nonsense he becomes determined to get everyone out alive.
- How courageous are you in dire straits? Brave
- How do you feel when face by setbacks? Resigned
- How are your nerves? Unshakable.

Cervicalgia SymptomsCervicalgia symptoms cover non-specific neck pain which can be either acute or chronic and may vary according to particular activities engaged in by the sufferer, such as sleeping awkwardly, maintaining poor posture whilst working at a desk, recreational and exercise activities such as jogging, and even therapies like massage when applied inappropriately. Specific movements may also exacerbate cervicalgia symptoms, such as raising the arm, turning the head to one side, or extending the neck. Conversely, patients may notice that certain movements and activities can reduce their neck pain, with exercise of benefit to a number of patients with cervicalgia (particularly those with fibromyalgia), and that rest may also be helpful to some sufferers.
Coexisting Symptoms
Neck pain is the main symptom of cervicalgia but this pain may coexist with visual disturbances, dizziness, headaches, stiffness of the neck, and spasm of the neck muscles. Radiating pain is not a symptom of cervicalgia as this indicates a specific neurological problem creating pain outside of the neck area, despite it originating in many cases in the cervical spine. The loss of sensation and development of muscle weakness is, again, not a sign of cervicalgia with other cervical radiculopathy or myelopathy the usual diagnosis in such cases. On rare occasions the patient may also experience dysphagia, syncope, chest pain, and/or migraine along with cervicalgia.
Signs of cervicalgia that may be observed during physical examination include wry neck (torticollis) as a result of asymmetry in the neck muscles. Patients may also develop restricted movement in the neck and asymmetric range of motion, which is quite common in those who are elderly or have incurred significant wear and tear due to their professional or recreational activities. Tender points in the neck or between the shoulders can also be symptoms of cervicalgia, although these may indicate fibromyalgia or an acute muscular injury in some cases.
Herniated Disc and Cervicalgia
Where patients also complain of a sore throat or problems swallowing, along with tiredness and a slight fever, this may indicate the presence of tonsillitis or a retropharyngeal abscess. Jaw and neck pain can be a sign of a tooth infection or crowding of the teeth which would require dental work in some cases rather than suggesting a problem with the neck itself. Cervicalgia can also present itself in cases where the true pathology at work is a herniated disc in the neck, cervical lymphadenopathy, osteomyelitis, spinal fracture, or even a stroke. Encephalitis, adverse drug reactions, and tumor growth can also present as cervicalgia symptoms with a physician then applying an alternative diagnosis after examination and tests.

Thank you very much Scott! Congrats to Felt, happy new forum!
Hey guys a couple of tips:
1) To perform a Win10 clean installation you need to download it via the media creation tool: http://www.microsoft.com/it-it/software-download/windows10 (sorry this is the italian link, maybe it will be automatically translated to your language… maybe not :D). No serial number is required to reinstall because your device should be automatically recognized. You can choose to make a DVD or a usb drive.
2) In C: you will find the "Windows.old" folder, it contains your previous operating system, if you don't need it you can delete it via the disk clean up utility (right click on C: > Properties > General), mine is 26 GB!!! Note you can not delete it as a normal folder, it's a system folder.
Enjoying the new OS!
Diamond go here: https://twitter.com/envato_help and write a message with your ticket number, they usually reply very quickly
You're right Paulo, he should be banned, it's exactly the same project!
Ah ok, just to clarify: " To take advantage of this free offer, you must upgrade to Windows 10 within one year of availability. Once you upgrade, you have Windows 10 for free on that device."
From: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/features (bottom of the page)
NOVAPLUS said
Is it free forever?
If this site says the truth it is free forever: https://www.thurrott.com/windows/windows-10/4695/windows-10-upgrade-is-free-not-free
I guess the next step is create a start up dvd, if something goes wrong we can reinstall Windows
No, I'm not sure
But it seems to be a logical solution:
If buyers have After Effects they buy the project file for better customization
If they use a different software they can buy the prerendered pack from Motion Graphics category
I think you will sell more in this way
I would upload a pack of pre-rendered elements in Motion Graphics Category, and the same pack + AE project file in AE Category for those who have After Effects
I have just upgraded from Windows 8.1, everything seems to be ok, no problems with installed software.
I like it, thank you very much Bill

It was all Jake at One Buc Place on Thursday.
Given the fact that head coach Jon Gruden had canceled Thursday's practice and there were no players or coaches to talk to, general manager Bruce Allen had to expect at least a few Jake Plummer questions during his final meeting with the media before training camp.
Nearly half of the questions, though, had something to do with Plummer, making the 11-year veteran the most popular "retired" quarterback in football.
Allen said Plummer's absence during this week's mandatory mini-camp posed no distraction to the Buccaneers. When asked if the situation seemed unresolved, Allen claimed that it wasn't much different than a holdout by a certain wide receiver in 2003.
"It is resolved," Allen said. "We've traded for him and it's no different, if he chooses not to report to camp, than when Keenan McCardell didn't report to camp or when you see other players hold out. There's no difference."
Allen has been adamant since the Bucs traded for Plummer in March that "The Snake" would not be traded and that he would play for the Buccaneers.
But Plummer has been largely silent since reiterating his desire to retire before a handball game shortly after the trade. He remains an issue to the Buccaneers because he has not officially retired. In order to do so, he must file retirement papers with the NFL.
So, naturally, that leads to questions about Plummer's intentions. Is he really retired? Or is he trying to force a trade to a team he wants to play for? None of that is clear, and Allen did little to clear up the uncertainty.
The extent of talks with Plummer and his agent have been one-way. In other words, Allen and Gruden calling Plummer.
Still, Plummer's absence is no distraction, Allen said.
"We haven't missed a beat with him not here," Allen said of Plummer. "We're preparing for our season. Our quarterback competition, as you all know, has been very lively and we feel good with the players we have here. We're not waiting for anybody. We're going forward."
Yet, shortly after, Allen reiterated the Bucs' desire to have Plummer in training camp.
Why? Maybe Gruden said it best earlier this week.
"We wish him the very best," Gruden said. "We hope he comes in. He's a helluva quarterback. He was 15-2 two years ago, and last year he won a lot of games. Right now he's retired. We just hope at some point he reconsiders and considers saddling up with the Bucs."
So Plummer showing up in Orlando in late July wouldn't be a distraction to the five quarterbacks that have been preparing for this season since March?
"It's not a distraction to the other players on the team and we've moving forward," Allen said.
Unless Plummer reports, of course.
This situation has the potential to be a little distracting if Plummer does not report. Because Plummer did not come to this week's mandatory workouts, he is subject to disciplinary action by the Bucs, including possible fines. Allen said the Bucs don't discuss their fines publicly.
Come training camp, if Plummer doesn't show up, he's subject to more fines. The situation could devolve into the mess McCardell's holdout turned in to in 2003, when the Bucs eventually traded him to San Diego, but demanded part of their bonus money back.
The Bucs would be within their rights to do that with Plummer, as they own his rights and would benefit from any financial obligations Plummer might have to the team. And Plummer's contract isn't chump change, either. He's making $5.2 million in base salary and counts more than $6 million against the salary cap. Of course, for the first time in years, the Bucs have the cap room to absorb such a salary.
Allen said that if Plummer didn't show by the regular season, he could remain on the 53-man roster, but not count against the head count.
Plummer's contract has ramifications if he officially retires. Typically, salary bonuses that are prorated for the life of the contract to keep cap numbers down are accelerated and must be counted that season. In other words, Plummer's bonus could be "dead" money on the 2007 cap.
That may be part of the reason the Bucs are in no hurry to push Plummer on his status. With the cap room to handle the contract — and possible dead money — and plenty of quarterbacks, the Bucs can afford to wait.
Plus, Allen alluded that Plummer isn't exactly sitting on his couch and eating potato chips. Allen was asked what his reaction would be if Plummer showed up in September 10 pounds overweight and asking to play.
"I'm not concerned about that," Allen said.
And if Plummer does show up in Orlando, Allen made it clear the veteran is welcome.
"We traded for him with the intent of him playing for the Buccaneers and he knows that," Allen said. "We've been very clear in what we see for him and his future. We just have to see if we have a meeting of the minds."
Coming Friday: Matthew Postins analyzes the Plummer situation in his weekly Postscripts column, and explains why Chris Simms might be getting a raw deal.

Injured defender Ali Krieger ready to cheer U.S. at Wembley
LONDON – The U.S. women's soccer team already has enough motivation to fill a large stadium — specifically, Wembley, which is sold out for Thursday's gold medal match against Japan.
Criticism of the Americans' defense, the uncertain future of their pro careers, and their 2011 World Cup loss to the Japanese all come to mind.
Throw another log onto the blaze: Ali Krieger will be in attendance.
The injured national team defender, who tore her anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments in an Olympic qualifying game in January, has a 24-hour leave from her German pro club to support the women who displayed a birthday tribute to her during a goal celebration in an Olympic game two weeks ago.
She's coming to Wembley to surprise her teammates.
"I think they might have heard it through the grapevine," Krieger told USA TODAY Sports in a Wednesday night phone interview.
The grapevine on the women's national team is as virile as any. Members on and off the current roster stay in constant contact via e-mail, but no one tipped off Krieger to a celebration that brought her to tears July 28.
Krieger turned 28 that Saturday in Germany, where she plays for FFC Frankfurt, and played in her first exhibition match Sunday since tearing the ligaments in her knee in a U.S. match vs. the Dominican Republic. She had furiously rehabilitated her right knee with the idea that she could rejoin the U.S. team before the Olympics, only to miss the cut. Already under contract with FFC Frankfurt before the injury, she has continued her rehab there this summer.
So on her birthday, Krieger was chopping vegetables and making dip in preparation for a party she was throwing for herself and she was watching the U.S. game on her computer when Megan Rapinoe blazed a shot past the Colombian keeper for the first goal of the game.
"I'm rushing around the house like a crazy woman decorating and putting everything together, and Pinoe just ripped this ridiculous shot, and I'm like, 'Oh my gosh that was awesome,' " she says.
Then, trotting in celebration, Rapinoe pulled out a note written in white tape, wishing Krieger a happy birthday.
"I just saw a quick glimpse of her celebration, and I'm like, 'Aww I miss them so much,'" Krieger said. "I'm so happy, and I was clapping and celebrating. And then I saw that it was a birthday tribute. And I was like 'Wait, what? Is that my name?'
"I just kind of started tearing up. It's dramatic, whatever, but I was pretty emotional. I thought, 'I'm not there, and if I wasn't injured I'd probably be there,' and it all just hit me at once."
The U.S. women have kept Krieger in their hearts and minds throughout the tournament, exchanging e-mails and tweets of encouragement. After starring in the 2011 World Cup, she would have been a starter on a defensive line that has taken heat for the team falling behind in two games in this tournament — eventual wins vs. France and Canada.
"She would be here if she was healthy, and I'm sure it's hard for her to watch from home," Rapinoe said.
Added U.S. captain Abby Wambach: "She's obviously somebody that we miss. We miss her and everybody who helped us get to this point."
It was the prospect of returning to her teammates and going for gold here that drove Krieger during rehab.
"I was doing really well and playing the best football I've ever played," Krieger said of her attitude before the injury. "And I was so happy and enjoying myself and enjoying the team and just having a really fun time playing soccer. And then all of a sudden having all that taken away was just really difficult for me.
"I worked extra hard to try and get fit for the Olympics. I heard some people came back in four months, so I'm thinking, 'OK, when is the first game? Maybe I can be 90% by then.' It kept me motivated and really inspired me to get up every day and do my leg lifts. It was a hard process."
But by the end of it, coach Pia Sundhage decided Krieger wasn't in condition to play for the national team.
"I'm really sorry for Ali, but she's young and there are so many games in front of her," Sundhage said. "I hope she comes back, and I know she will."
The U.S. women were delighted to learn that Krieger played in her first test matches on Sunday, and played 30 minutes, scoring an assist.
"They've supported me throughout this whole injury and, without even probably knowing, inspired me to want to get back to 100 percent," she said.
So Krieger is returning the favor, after lobbying her coaches for the opportunity to spend just one day in London for the gold medal game. She'll land Thursday afternoon and fly back early Friday. She says it was a struggle to get permission.
"They were like we don't think it's good because we don't want you to miss rehab or training," Krieger says. "I said look this is something that happens once in a lifetime. I said please just give me this time and let me enjoy this experience just because I want to support the team that supported me through my injury."
Krieger is obviously hoping for gold, and confident the U.S. women will win. She's also hoping for another opportunity to rejoin the group in the weeks following the Americans' Olympic run.
"I hope Pia gives me that chance again to come back and I'm sure she will. I think she believes in me enough," she says. "I'm counting down the days for my comeback game."

The Labor Department has reached a nationwide settlement with the country's largest retailer over potentially hazardous conditions for workers found at one New York store.
In 2011, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) inspectors discovered a variety of safety violations at a Walmart (WMT) store near Rochester, N.Y. Among the problems documented by the inspectors were blocked exit routes, a lack of training for employees handling dangerous chemicals and an unlocked and unguarded trash compactor and trash grinder, USA TODAY notes.
Citations issued at the New York store followed similar violations found at Walmart stores in at least nine states.
The retailer has now agreed to introduce safety measures for trash compactors and implement training in safe trash compactor use and hazardous chemical handling for workers at more than 2,800 stores nationwide.
OSHA originally imposed a $365,000 fine for the violations at the New York store, but under the terms of the settlement, Walmart will pay just $190,000 in fines.
Shares of Walmart rose fractionally in Thursday morning trading.

Corporate Purpose in the 1940s
These sparkly 1940s images are yet more from the brilliant Courier magazines that I picked up a while ago and which have featured here a lot of late. These are by the artist sisters Anna and Doris Zinkeisen and they couldn't be more 'of their period' - and all the more wonderful for that. There were commissioned by the United Steel Company as an effort in corporate jingoism to encourage the same spirit of "impatient energy and restless effort that staved off invasion in 1940" to put it to work towards the rebuilding. The titles of the paintings are a long way from poetic being, from top to bottom on this post "Unity of Purpose", "Training and Education", "Planning for Continuity" and "Training for Executives". It's possible to see here the beginnings of a Soviet style monumentalism but as we know, society, economics and art diverged and it's not a road we followed in the west, still, there is something rather enlivening about these mad, almost surrealist images of corporate 'benevolence'!?

Several days and many, many hours of engineering time later, the manufacturer had gotten the VTL back up and running with all of its data intact. Though I won't name them, the vendor did quickly realize the severity of the problem (nobody likes disappearing backups) and stepped up to the plate to fix it. But that's not the point. The point is that the more complex we allow our solutions to get, the more likely this kind of catastrophic software failure is.
I could rattle off a huge list of similar incidents I've noticed lately. Like the SAN with some bad code controlling its cache mirroring that crashed both redundant controllers simultaneously, which is ironic because the mirrored cache only exists to ensure uptime. Or maybe the recent and very public debacle surrounding McAfee's antivirus software identifying part of Windows XP as a virus (I'll resist the urge to make a joke about the potential accuracy of that conclusion).
Buckle up and back up your backup
It has really gotten to the point where, regardless of your spotless past history with a piece of storage gear, you may be one firmware upgrade away from introducing a crippling software bug that brings the system down in spite of all of the hardware redundancy you've paid for. That's not a fact that's going to help anybody sleep at night. But what can you do about it?
First, we need to absolutely demand that problems like this get fixed, and be very public about them if they aren't. Companies won't invest more resources in software quality assurance unless their heads are on the chopping block.
Second, never trust anything -- regardless of how redundant it may look. Design a completely independent backup for your backup. Imagine what you'd do if your most critical piece of infrastructure evaporated without much warning or explanation. In the case of the VTL that I mentioned earlier, the client's backups were protected by duplicated backups that were sent to a physical tape library for off-site archiving. They could have cleanly survived that loss as a result.
The bottom line is that as the data explosion grows, so too will the complexity of the solutions we use to combat it. Storage virtualization, online deduplication, and content archiving will be some of our most powerful tools in that battle. They're also all big chunks of black-box software spaghetti, much of it written to get to market quickly and appear in a long list of features on the marketing glossy. Every one of those features has the potential to cause data loss or downtime. Don't lose sight of that as you design your next-generation storage architecture.

I've been experiencing pain in my left groin area since day after surgery. It seems to be getting worse. also have swelling and pain in left breast with new bruising after 3 weeks - also bulge is painful and warm on lower outside same breast. I will see surgeon tomorrow. Wondering how common swollen warm bulge is and also what could be possible cause for groin pain?

Doctor Answers 3
Groin pain and Breast Bulge after Breast Reduction Surgery
Groin pain after breast reduction particularly with one leg swelling and pain should be evaluated for blood clot (DVT). Any breast bulge after breast reduction should be evaluated for hematoma.
Pain in Groin Area Since Day After BR Surgery?
I would advise you to seek medical help immediately for the groin pain. Although it can be something as simple as a hernia as another surgeon has suggested, you must rule out something much more serious such as a large blood clot- as this could be life threatening. Seek medical help today!
Groin Pain after BR
It sounds like you are dealing with two separate issues. An examination would be of great benefit. Groin pain is a bit unusual after a Breast Reduction. you could have a groin hernia exacerbated by constipation?? Please ask your surgeon to address your concerns at your next visit. Best,

Why the "Taliban" Title?
by Cindy Foster (Baptist Taliban)I was strolling down the aisles at Sam's Wholesale Club one day about a year or so after leaving the church, and in the book aisle I noticed a book written by a woman from Afghanistan. It was obvious from the cover that she was Muslim. I picked it up and began looking it over as I do with any book that catches my interest. I turned it over to read the back cover and was instantly captivated by what I read. There written, was a list of rules imposed on women under the Taliban regime.Of course, since it was Post- 911, all eyes were on the Muslim ways and on the terrorists- sympathizing countries, so a book such as this one would capture anyone's inter … [Read more...]

Baptist Taliban: Part 4
by Cindy FosterPARTY TIMEIt was the end of the 1900's. There was much uncertainty in the air everywhere, about what the next millennium would bring. Would our computer-dependent world come to a screeching halt? Would there be a shortage of food, water and electricity? Should we be stockpiling goods in preparation?If the 'air' everywhere else was unsettling, it was much more so in the church. If tension was butter, you could cut it with a knife. The young people were troubled, parents were hyper-alert, Paul and I felt like we were walking a perpetual tight-rope and The Preacher was venting rage through every sermon at our expense.

He took it dazedly, then dropped it, and the Little Chemist picked it up; he had no prescription like that in his pharmacopoeia.

My goal as a mother is always to provide my family with the very best, this is getting a bit challenging with my now 6yr old son in school and meeting new friends with different eating habits than we have at home, he is getting bombarded not only from million dollar television adds glorifying food that literally have the potential to kill him but from friends he loves who eats those foods.
The good news is I know for a fact that there is always a much healthier and tastier version out there for any and every junk food. I have been very diligent in communicating this fact to my son, he knows to come to me if he sees or is offered something that is not organic but he really wants to have it. It could be something as simple as candy which for some reason is so rampant in schools (this is a topic on its own) doughnuts or a corndog, whatever it is he knows that I will get it for him without all the harmful chemicals. As much as I want my family to eat healthy I know not to make them feel left out and the best way is to make sure they trust and love what we eat. I see with my son that healthy wholesome foods really taste good, my son was offered white organic basmati rice, he did not like the texture nor taste and wanted brown rice which is what he is used too. We all have the opportunity to train our kids, you either train them to love wholesome food or over process junk food that have the potential to hurt them, you train them either way- it is not accidental.
Here is a quick recipe for doughnuts that I make at home to satisfy the doughnut craving for my son without all the unnecessary and unhealthy ingredients that comes with mainstream doughnuts. Recipe courtesy of Giada De Laurentiis , instead of store bought pizza dough I make our dough at home from scratch using Bob's Mill 100% whole grain white wheat flour. Doughnuts like any other sweets are treats offered once in a while in our home not an everyday meal. Have a happy 4th .

Banco de Vida
Addressing other subject, Alejandro Weinstein enhanced the good performance of the "Banco de Vida" that operates in Chile thanks to the CFR Genomika Foundation and to the donations made by the maternity hospital of Hospital Clinico Universidad Católica and Clínica Santa Maria.
"This is the first public stem cell bank in Chile; in 2009 was performed the first successful stem cells transplant stored in the Bank, and this month justified its creation to help save the life of a child of only five years who had a congenital anaemia and received a transplant of stem cells from a compatible umbilical cord, the only hope of cure for this disease."
Alejandro Weinstein, who leads the CFR Genomika Foundation, added "we are going to continue working in the Foundation and the Life Bank in these issues because we are facing a discipline that is at the edge of knowledge and that presently offers treatment possibilities for formerly incurable diseases. More over, our concerns at the Foundation are underprivileged children that need improving their serious conditions, and that, without our support they would not have access to these treatments."
About CFR Pharmaceuticals
The CFR Pharmaceutical Group is the first multinational laboratory in Chile (almost 70 percent of its incomes comes from subsidiaries located outside of Chile, where its headquarters is) and is present in eighteen countries around the world. In 2011 shall have ten modern plants in four of those countries, strengthening its current position as the first Latin American laboratory with worldwide presence and own research.

My mom was not much of a cook. She was what they called a "Modern Woman" who didn't want to be bothered with time in the kitchen. Most of our dinners were something she either picked up from a drive through or something she took from a box, added a cup of water to it and tossed in the oven or microwave. I don't know about you, but I fuckin loved it when any of my friends invited me over to their house for dinner. And my mom NEVER said I couldn't go – even i I had gotten into trouble that day, I still got to go eat at someone else's house.
But I like to cook. I guess it's my own generation's rebellion or something. Tonight I put together an awesome meatloaf. I found a recipe online and decided to make a shopping list, go to the grocery store and buy everything I needed to make it exactly like the recipe called for. And it was MARVELOUS!

Hail and Health
Hail and health to Alma Mater;
On for StFX's name;
Leading, trailing, vim unfailing
Play the game.
Life's the goal that gleams before us;
Faith and honour free;
Swells the old Xaverian chorus;
Sing for victory
Rah, Rah, Rah....
We of old St. Francis Xavier
Caring hearts and true;
Years may creep, but still we'll keep
Loyal to the white and blue.
Sing for friends no longer near us,
Sing for happy days of yore.
Forward striving, onward driving,
Get that score
Memories of high endeavour,
Stir our spirits still;
Here's to StFX forever
Sing it with a will!
Rah, Rah, Rah
Repeat chorus

The Warring Of Ours And Theirs - Poem by OMOYAJOWO OLAOLUWA
The only constant thing change: they say
war is also constant: don't you war
For war is a change. eminent
I keep on warring day and night
Warring against evil; warring against soul stealers
For our government war against assylum dwellers
Men that kill men without passion: happy within
Wickedness against flesh and blood
Blood like an ever flow fountain
Descends to the lower path of the earth
Troublers are never troubled
But an eye watches the miss happenings among men
For war is inside and outside
For we cloth with weapons; well packed and package
Am an army; for I fight many unseen
Yet heroes of faiths make a clarion call
Watch they say, stand firm
Saxophonist, pianists await the jubilation
The jubilant of a conqueror
For the deeds in the deep shall be revealed
See me and war, a we not same
To live is war, to war is war
To be save from dead is war
A war to war, not as those that destroy others
It is our blood for the coming generation
For we are the general
For in our bosom, things fall not apart
For the centre can be held
Where we sing and joy till the end.

This "Red Hot Mama" is a fire hazard
Here's a Halloween costume that was just too hot for the marketplace.
Today (December 6), Health Canada issued a recall notice concerning the "Red Hot Mama" adult costume, which was sold at various retailers from 2004 to 2011. Ironically, the federal department warns, "If exposed to a flame such as from candles, matches or lighters, the feather trim could catch fire and possibly cause burns to consumers."
Health Canada says no injuries to Canadians have been reported as a result of this costume, of which around 23 units were sold. Anyone who bought the "Red Hot Mama" (model number 6802980 and UPC number 037693029858) is being encouraged to return it to Paper Magic Group Inc. for a refund.
The same Pennsylvania-based manufacturer's "Glamour Witch" costume was recalled back in October.

Sometimes the resources we need are only a question away. But only... if you ask for it.
Did you know that women are less likely to ask for what they want or need (in the right way) as opposed to men? This trait alone can keep you from making the progress you need in your career, business or life.
Join The Texas Women Who Rock on December 6 for a great event on:
Leveraging Resources: Getting the most from what you've got!
Pat Dolen and Laura Lopez will provide you with great tips, tools and resources to not only identify what you need to get over that barrier, but just how to go about getting it done.
Here is a glimpse of Thursday, December 6:
7:45-8:30: NetRocking (our twist on Networking)
8:30-9:00 Name that Frustration (Laura Lopez)
9:00-9:45 Identifying your Barriers (Pat Dolen)
9:45-10:20 Why Women don't ask and what to do about It. (Laura Lopez)
10:20-11:00 Evolution of your Solution (Pat Dolen)
11:00-11:30 Expand your Resources with a Fun Accessory Swap
That's right... in addition to learning some great tools, meeting other great Rockin' women, we are going to add a little fun to this event with our first Texas Women Who Rock ACCESSORY SWAP!
Bring those items that are "too good" to throw away or just give away... to swap!
We'll display those necklaces, bracelets, earrings, scarves and purses that may not be "YOU" anymore.
Receive a ticket for every item in good condition to SWAP and take home as many "new" items as you've brought to swap.
Here's what past attendees have said about previous sessions with Pat and Laura:
"I really enjoyed the first and second sessions and am planning to attend on the 7th. I have told many women (and my spouse!) about the series because I had such a great experience. I liked that it was very practical and applicable information for my new business. Laura and Pat were excellent speakers and I thought the handouts were useful. I've referred to them several times since."
"Your explanations of how and where we can get blocked on our way to success were really useful to me. I also liked the personal stories shared that day, and the very practical exercise we did to jump start our visioning for our own business."
Get Clear. Expand Your Piece of the Pie. Achieve Success.

Ryan's extreme example aside i don't think we should rule out traps that kill. sure, it'd be nice to capture and release but there's a very likely possibility that we're going to face a point where this just isn't effective enough and that unfortunately some little disease spreading animals are going to have to meet their maker. capture and release traps + hole plugging + smell/sound deterrents + cleanliness first, killing traps if all else fails.

I didn't say anything about bugs? Thanks for automatically assuming that
 I'm some stuck up vegan who doesn't eat honey. Fuck bugs, I wish we
 could just put them all on a boat, sail them out into the Pacific and
 sink them. They need to die, all of them.

 But now that you mention it, we also do have a roach infestation. If you
 know where to look in the kitchen you can find them. Welcome to the
 Mission, kind of sucks.

 Again thanks for reaming me on my opinions on what I feel is right in a
 public forum when I simply have a request for a group I participate in
 to not consider one of many options when taking a course of action. I in
 no way, shape or form pressed my morals onto you, yet you feel it was
 fine to attack them. Thanks!

San Jose Municipal Rose Garden
The San Jose Municipal Rose Garden is a rose garden located at the intersection of Naglee and Dana Avenues, San Jose, California, in the Rose Garden neighborhood.
The garden, 5.5 acres in size, was once a prune orchard, but was bought by San Jose in 1927 and is now exclusively devoted to roses. It features more than 3,500 shrubs representing 189 rose varieties.
As an official Display Garden for the All-America Rose Selections (AARS), the San Jose Municipal Rose Garden receives AARS award-winning roses in advance of public release. In the early 2000s, city budget cuts impacted the garden, which led to the AARS placing it on probation. In 2007 Friends of the San Jose Rose Garden (FSJRG) was established, a volunteer nonprofit organization whose mission was to restore and renovate the garden. In 2008 the AARS lifted the garden from probation and restored full accreditation, and the following year over 800 new roses were planted as part of the restoration project.
On May 2, 2009 it was rededicated as an official AARS test garden, one of 23 in the US and the only one in Northern California.[1]
On December 15, 2009 the restoration of the San Jose Municipal Rose Garden was nationally recognized on the Corporation for National and Community Service website.[2]
On August 12, 2010 the AARS named it "America's Best Rose Garden", in the first nationwide contest of its kind.[3] The winning garden was selected based on beauty, creativity and community involvement.
The Municipal Rose Garden is a City of San Jose historic landmark.[4]

Word Tattoo Designs
Often you can se tattoo images in the form of animals, plants, birds, abstract image or signs and symbols. However, along with imagery you an also see words being tattooed on parts of the body. These kinds of tattoos are specific to the feelings of the wearer and there is not real standard on the kind of words you use for a tattoo.
They can be anything and they showcase your feeling or your personality to others. Since words have religious association, wearing such kinds of word tattoos shows your specific religious beliefs to those around you. Actually one of the most interesting kinds of tattoo designs is the Word tattoo. You can use different types of word tattoos each depicting a special meaning. Usually word tattoo can accompany an image and bring out an unusual quality of that image.
However, it is not uncommon to see just words being tattooed to show feelings or other interesting personality traits that the wearer want to bring out. Many people tattoo the name of the person they love to indicate their feeling, which is quite different. This is indeed a unique way of showing someone you love, how deep your feeling are for them. One very common word tattoo is the in memory tattoo. These tattoo designs are done in memory of a loved one. They pay tribute to that person.
Yet another popular form of word tattooing is using Chinese letters. These letters are intricate and they form beautiful designs in their own. You can choose words with special meanings and have them done in Chinese on your hand, or arm or other visible body part. There is also a sense of mystery behind such designs.
Word tattoos can lend an interesting angle to a tattoo image. They make the image grander and enhance the meaning reflected by the image. You can also of course just wear special words or symbols words as a tattoo and bring out the power of words through them. Wear special word tattoos and enjoy the beauty of these tattoos for years to come.

Rumors have been floating around about a new Bungie game called Destiny for a couple of years now. By last November, details were already beginning to emerge about the game's premise along with a piece of concept art to set people's imaginations racing.
So when Bungie solidified a date to officially announce the game excitement mounted over what new details the company might reveal. However, besides a whole lot of talk, and tons of hype, little of significance came out of the event.
"Destiny is our next great shooter in a totally new world," studio co-founder Jason Jones explained. The game will also sport a totally new kind of FPS mutliplayer, integrating players into a "shared world" much like Journey and Dark Souls. Set on an earth previously ravaged by aliens, the world players share looks to fit well within the growing trend of apocalyptic environments recent shooters have been working in.
So what exactly will set Destiny apart besides being one of the first games to try and implement a less rigid and more random form of online co-op? According to Jones there are seven pillars upon which each design choice must be justified.
The first is "A World Players Want to Be In." How novel.
Jones compounds the absurdity of this talking point by stressing its importance, "This pillar really influenced us early in development." So far we're not off to a great start. After all, shouldn't every game strive to keep players wanting to stay in its world? Jones might as well have noted how focused the team is on creating "likable" characters, who players can "identify" with. Not exactly groundbreaking stuff.
The world itself is one where humans, pushed to the verge of extinction, must now protect the earth from hostile alien threats which lurks throughout the solar system and beyond. Could Bungie have come up with a more tired and overused sci-fi premise? I'm not pre-disposed to hate Destiny. In fact I really hope it does have a gripping story, and a world I want to stay in. Unfortunately, Jones offers nothing to back up these claims, offering only hackneyed sci-fi tropes instead.
Pillar two is, "A Bunch of Fun Things to Do."
Seriously? I can't tell if this is better or worse than the first one. On the one hand it's a bit more specific by stating that they want a "bunch" of fun things, rather than just a few really fun things. On the other hand, having a "bunch" fun things for players to do is still something that I think just about every video game, at least the AAA console ones, strive to do.
Jones goes on to explain one possible mini-adventure. Without repeating the entire example, I'll boil it down into the following: players of different classes prepare, players head to objective on vehicles, players get in a firefight and come out alive thanks to a third player, and then additional player joins original ones to finish the mission. Sounds like just about every MMO quest to me. What will make Destiny unique is how Bungie is able to take the quest design of MMORPGs and apply it to the FPS, but those are the kinds of design details Jones decided to ignore.
Then there's pillar three, "Rewards Players Care About." Unlike the previous two pillars, at least this one focuses on a clear and precise MMO convention. Whether you're playing online deathmatches or going on raids in WoW, the key is to keep giving players trinkets for their efforts in order to keep them hooked. Some more guns here, a little legendary loot there, all so players keep doing the mindless tasks most online games set in front of them (e.g. shoot people in the head, collect ten unicorn horns, etcetera, etcetera).
Jones doesn't tell us how Destiny will try to do this that other MMOs haven't already done. Instead, he simply notes that Bungie will be giving players lots of things to "earn, find, and make" so that they keep playing "day after day, week after week, month after month, [and] year after year."
Pillar four is the most ambitious yet, "A New Experience Every Night." I'm a bit skeptical that, per Jones' claim before, everything that goes into the game will have to justify itself according to this principle, Certainly many experiences will carry over from night to night. I can't quite imagine an FPS MMO in which I shoot completely different enemies every time I log on, or explore fundamentally different areas each time.
"Raids," was apparently even mentioned during the presentation. As fun as they can be, anyone who's ever been on multiple raids knows that each is not extremely different from the last. Different enemies might be fought, different strategies and tactics employed, but the structure for these kinds of adventures is admittedly quite fixed. Perhaps Destiny will break the mold. If that's the case though, Jones has no information to give us to demonstrate how.
Pillar five is, "Shared With Other People." In case you hadn't realized by this point, Destiny will be an MMO. Like most other "Massively Multiplayer Online" games, players will play with other players, connected to servers simultaneous through something called the I-N-T-E-R-N-E-T. Maybe you've heard of it? So yes, you will necessarily be sharing your gameplay experiences on Destiny's apocalyptic earth with "other people."
"Everything that's fun to do is more fun to do with your friends," claims Jones. Besides lying, Jones also has nothing else to offer about this pillar, other than to remind us that while fun multiplayer activities like PvP will be included in the game, Destiny will be taking the not so revolutionary step of allowing players to ignore these parts of the game if they so choose. So thoughtful!
Pillar six is terrifying in its simplicity, "Enjoyable By All Skill Levels." As pedestrian as this goal is, it's probably also the most difficult for any studio to tackle. I'm pretty sure BioWare had a similar goal with Star Wars Online: the Old Republic. There's nothing really to note here other than Jones again contradicts himself since I will guarentee you right now that not E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G in the game will be enjoyable by even people who suck at the game.
Finally we arrive at pillar seven, "Enjoyable by the Impatient and Distracted." This would sound like an an audience that any game would have an incredibly impossible time of winning over. Not so for Destiny apparently, which Jones says will be able to meet the needs of touchphone twitching, social network checking, constantly updating generation of today's young players who, "don't want to work hard, [sic] don't want to read, and [sic] don't' want to go to the Internet to figure out our bullshit."
That's one strategy. The other, of course, would be to make your "bullshit" so awesome and engrossing that even the most addled teen will stop what they're doing to get involved and figure out what's being thrown at them.
"[W]hat Destiny's unveiling was all about," writes IGN's Ryan McCaffrey, was "concepts." That certainly seems to be what Jones through at McCaffrey and others, choosing to announce general and indeterminate talking points rather than the core design choices or defining gameplay experience that most encapsulates what Destiny will be.
As Jonathan Blow noted on Twitter, it would have been nice if Bungie had done more than just confirm what we had already suspected: that it was working on a new sci-fi MMO first person shooter. Jones teased some flavor text and more visuals, but the fundamental questions remain.
And there's there problem with that necessarily. Bungie has ever right to keep details about its upcoming game secret until they are ready to be revealed to the public. That would have been different than what the company actually did though, which was pre-announce a confirmation announcement wherein Bungie would transact in generalities rather than any meaningful specifics.
After Nintendo unleashed a flurry of reveals for upcoming titles in a recent Nintendo Direct, Chris Kohler lamented how addicted to vaporware the gaming industry is. The era of constant news updates and online chatter about new and potential titles has brought with it an atmosphere of suffocating hype. Destiny is a game that has no clear release date, and little is even yet known about the next-gen platforms it might be released on. So rather than wait till a time closer to launch, and deeper into the game's development, Bungie teases small details about the lore surrounding the game and the marketing philosophy behind its development. But nothing of any real significance has actually been revealed yet. And so we're left to get high on the fumes of yet another vaporware project.

Australia captain Michael Clarke feels England deserve recognition for their rise in Test cricket, regardless of the humiliating Ashes defeat Down Under.
Andy Flower's men suffered a 281-run defeat in the final Test in Sydney - summing up their dismal performance over the winter, as the hosts took the series 5-0.
Australia have now overtaken the tourists to go third in the ICC Test rankings - continuing England's slide - having been top up until a year ago, before South Africa took over.
And while the England players and coaches are set to face widespread criticism for another Ashes capitulation, Clarke feels their recent successes should not be overlooked.
He said: "It's been an extremely hard-fought series, as it always is against England.
"We've seen throughout the series the mutual respect these teams have for each other. I wish Alastair and the England team all the best, I think they've copped a bit of criticism throughout this series.
"They're a wonderful team, you don't get to be number one in the world for no reason, and a lot of the players in this team achieved that, so they deserve a lot of credit."
A lot of Australia's success this winter has been down to their excellent bowling attack - led by Mitchell Johnson - who took a superb 37 wickets over the course of the series.
Ryan Harris and Peter Siddle, along with off-spinner Nathan Lyon, continued to cause the tourists problems and captain Clarke has hailed the foursome for their performances.
The 32-year-old added: "They've done a fantastic job. We had a brief conversation before the Test match and I remember saying to those three fast bowlers that in my opinion they are the best attack in the world.
"I think Nathan Lyon compliments that and they've shown they are the best. They've earned that mantle.
"This series is an indication of the hard work the guys have put in in the last 12 months. They deserve the reward of winning 5-0."
Only a year ago, Australia's current crop were regarded as one of the worst in history but this triumph could begin another successful spell for Darren Lehmann's side.
And the coach has vowed there is still more to come from his players, after the series win.
Lehmann told Sky Sports: "The boys have played well, they deserve everything. I'm really proud of what they've achieved as a group.
"They're well drilled, I'm really pleaded with what they've taken on board. They stuck to their guns, bar maybe a couple of hours in Perth, they were excellent."

New guy w/ FMP question..
Hi all! I can't really find any other forums where there are people who know about FMP so I'm glad I found this forum when I did.
Just a quick question: has anyone seen the english dub of Full Metal Panic (I'm referring to the first series, of course) and if so, was it at least as good as the subtitled version? I mean, both versions are available on the dvd, I know, but I'm just wondering if the english dub will add anything to my enjoyment of the series. Thanks!

The dub is well.... a dub. I dont like it, but then again I dont like most dubs. Some of the Japanese jokes were left out in the dub too because they couldnt think of anything to replace them with. I mean, they could have thought up something even if it was something corny.

thats what i do...also for fmp...in my opinion, the japanese voices sound better...well actually i think jap voices for all anime is better then english dubs.

the original version is always best.
esp in anime where u don't get any actors, so the voice of each character plays an even bigger role. the original voices for animes are always better than the dubbed versions.
even with OGMs, I'll hear the japanese dialog and read the eng subs

Well I don't think that the dub of FMP is that bad. I have seen/hear MUCH worse. (Love Hina still pisses me off, and that was not the worst)
Generally I watch an anime that I own on DVD in both, once in the Japanese audio with English Subs, then just the English Dub most times I even watch English Dub with the English Subs to really see differances. Hoewever there are a few differances with FMP, but nothing that I can remember offhand that is earth-shattering.
Personally I think that they did a nice job matching the general picth and sound of the voices to the Jap counterparts. I am not expecting it to be pefect, but it is good.
Personally though, if I am going to show an Anime to friends it is almost always English dub, unless it is a fansub on the computer . FMP and FMP-F are great animes though and are al least in the top 5 for me. Sorry for the length.

I'm of the opinion that sub > dub in all situations. If nothing else it adds a more authentic atmosphere.
Seriously school kids in japan, wearing japanese school uniforms . . . speaking english?
Of course I am of the opinion that in any film sistuation people should speak the language that would be appropriate to the situation. I am tired of watching nazi soldiers discuss plans in english in ww2 films. of course I do not expect this to happen untill at least the litteracy rate of the US raises.

augh, the english voicing for sousuke is horrible, he doesnt have much of a military tone and sounds like a p*ssy(duno if i can out that ^^) and when women speak japanese its more pleasant to hear rather then loud crackling american women, well, im not saying its a bad thing, its just how it is ^^

well i think the dubs versions r great bc when u have to read the subtitles it takes u away from the visual and then u miss some parts or u stop to read the subtitles. when u stop it or not looking at the visual u miss the action in the show, so the dubs r better to me.

FMP first and second season english dub is good, well not as good as the japanese version but it is way better compare to most dubbed anime. I think it was the only anime I watched in dub and did not had the urge to puke.
If it is just mere comparison, then by far the japanese version is better. But if you are judging it based on the quality of the english dub by itself, I'd say it's not bad.

^yeah, It's not bad but it's not great either. Sousuke's (Eng) voice sounded a bit dj-ish & lively whereas the japanese voice is more monotone & stoic which perfectly suited the character. But the rest of the characters are really well done.
