I must say I got to the point rather quickly on this one.
On To The Poll!
1. Blush Of The Day? - Chanel JC in Pink Satin. Long since discontinued. This cool pink frosty blush reminds me of Pink Explosion JC from the current fall collection only Pink Satin has more frost to it.
2. Do you consider yourself Outgoing or Shy, and would your friends contradict you? - Well you read above. I like to think I'm shy, but my rapier wit and my outspoken, almost brutal honesty makes people think otherwise.
3. In your opinion, what was the most over hyped product you ever tried? - Cover Girl Lash Blast Mascara. Oh boy this mascara didn't work for me at all. I know it works for others, and that's great, but I just didn't understand what was so great about it.
4. You may have noticed that I have been doing a lot of nail polish posts lately. Are you all cool with this or would you like to see less? You won't hurt my feelings if you say you don't like them. - Obviously I can't answer this question.
5. What is your favorite blush brush? - I'm currently on the hunt for a new one. However I do adore my MAC 116 Blush Brush.

Best Audio Quality... and nothing else
This phone has a terrible user interface, predominately un-customizable buttons, substandard camera, and NO bluetooth support. That being said, the is no better phone that I have encountered for pure audio quality. Other people come can hear you as though your are standing next to them, and they sound clear and comfortably loud. If I had given this phone to my girlfriend before we moved in together, we could have saved a lot of time spent saying "what did you say? I know, it's your phone, but I can barely hear you. F*** it, let's just get on skype."PS: I do not use this phone as a go-phone. To those of you on monthly plans like me, buying go-phones is great way to stay out of contract. You'll have greater flexibility, and customer service will treat you like you actually matter.Design 3/10Features 2/10Performance 9/10

Samsung A-167 Go Phone
I have this phone for AT&T's Go Phone service. I picked it because I wanted a flip phone and I wanted a camera. There aren't many choices for the Go Phone, and this was the only flip phone. Its features and performance are dated, meaning if it were 2004 this phone would be at least a mid-range phone. The camera is only .3 megapixels, it doesn't have Bluetooth, which are mid-range functions I can do without. If you want a phone with high end-features like 3G web browsing and video streaming and a music player and all that, then this phone sure wouldn't be anywhere near meeting your wants. As for needs, it makes good, loud calls, I can hear the person I'm talking to, they can hear me well. Text messaging is fine, except the phone is a bit small, so it gets a little cramped. The external screen can't be used to take pictures with the phone closed, and there is no camera shortcut button, but like I said, if you want to do basic things with this phone, which is probably why you have a prepaid or Go Phone in the first place, then this phone does its job.Design 6/10Features 4/10Performance 4/10

7 Signs You're Getting Bad Nutrition Adviceby Toby Amidor in Diets, March 12, 2013
There's tons of nutrition information swirling around and oftentimes you're left wondering what or who you should believe. Here are 7 signs that you're receiving bad (and sometimes even dangerous) nutrition advice.
#1: Lack of Significant Research
Nutrition advice should be based on significant scientific research that was conducted in peer-reviewed journals over months or even better, years. The majority of the research will back up a specific theory with a few straggler studies that may point at the other side. If you're being quoted a study, be sure what you are being told reflects all the research in that area. In addition, ask who sponsored the research as sponsored studies may be one sided. Oftentimes, this will raise a big red flag if someone hasn't done their homework.
#2: Lots of Persuasive Anecdotes
You may find a diet or a diet expert with tons of followers who all swear that the diet plan or advice is THE BEST they ever followed. These folks will tell you how they lost hundreds of pounds—and that you will too.
Although it may sound like you MUST try it, it's important to remember that every person is different and has individualized needs. Some diets or advice may be not be safe for folks on certain medications or with certain diseases (like Parkinson's or diabetes), so you need to check with your doctor before trying anything new. It's also important to make sure the science is also there to back the advice up — just relying on anecdotes just isn't enough.

When the state cut health benefits for domestic partners last year, UA President Robert Shelton said university officials should come up with a way to help them buy separate coverage.
They did.
The University of Arizona is now offering special medical-, dental- and vision-insurance plans for employees with domestic partners. The plans don't use any state money but have similar premiums.
The new state law, which changes partner benefits by redefining the word "dependent," was signed in September 2009 and will take effect on Oct. 1. The new UA plans will kick in on that day, too. A dependent will then be a "spouse under the laws of this state," which excludes unmarried domestic partners.
The UA wanted to cover both gay and heterosexual relationships, because "in order for us to be competitive, to be able to attract talented people, we need to be able to offer benefits that other employers are offering," said Allison Vaillancourt, UA vice president for human resources.
The city of Tucson, Pima County and other major employers offer benefits for domestic partners.
Liz Sawyer, a UA staff member in the English department, called the new plans wonderful.
Sawyer is a spokeswoman for OUTReach, a campus group that has lobbied for domestic-partner benefits at the UA for many years.
"It's really nice to know that even though the state is not committed to equality, our university is. This administration has been so supportive of the LGTB (lesbian, gay, transgender and bisexual) community. We're just all breathing a huge sigh of relief," she said.
About 20 people left the university over frustration with the new law, Vaillancourt said. And in some cases, job offers were rejected or reconsidered, she said.
"It was devastating," she said.
At the time the law change was announced, the state coverage applied to 40 same-sex partners and 130 opposite-sex partners of university employees.
Arizona State University and Northern Arizona University are working on their own partner-benefits solutions.

Entertainment Tonight has debuted a new featurette for the Ron Howard-directed and Tom Hanks-starring 'Angels and Demons', reeling in several fresh footage as well as commentary from cast and crew.
A brand new featurette for "Angels & Demons" has been unraveled by Entertainment Tonight. Bringing forth a series of never-before-seen footage from the drama thriller, the featurette also compiles several behind-the-scene footage as well as commentary from director Ron Howard and actors Tom Hanks and Ewan McGregor.
Giving a background introduction for the movie, Howard said in the beginning, "In 'Angels & Demons', the Illuminati have resurfaced, and are using cutting edge science to threaten to destroy the Vatican." Later on, he acknowledged the history behind the movie, "Centuries ago the Catholic Church did persecute scientists who were developing ideas that they thought were progressive and that the church found threatening."
A second Dan Brown's novel to be brought to the big screen and a sequel to "The Da Vinci Code", "Angels & Demons" teams up once again director-writer duo, Ron Howard and Akiva Goldsman respectively. This time, it follows Symbology professor Robert Langdon as he embarks in a quest to save the Vatican from the potential deadly threat after discovering an unimaginable vendetta against the Catholic Church by an ancient underground brotherhood, the Illuminati.
Returning as Robert Langdon in the movie is Tom Hanks. He will be supported by Ewan McGregor, Ayelet Zurer, Stellan Skarsgard, Pierfrancesco Favino and Armin Mueller-Stahl among others in the cast ensemble. This novel adaptation movie is set to explode in U.S. theaters on May 15.

VIGILANT residents who have been monitoring lorries that clog up the entrance to a town park are now pinning their hopes on parking restrictions.
Truck drivers are increasingly pulling up overnight in Brooker Road and Cartersfield Road, Waltham Abbey, near the entrance to the Town Mead playing fields, and urinating in the street, as there are no toilet facilities there.
Diana Kellard, 68, who runs Renaissance Mouldings picture framing company in Brooker Road, said: "It's absolutely diabolical and dangerous.
"It's a complete stalemate – if I go to the bank and back, I can't get back onto the road. They come from about 4pm and park up on the pavements."
Bill Davies, chairman of the Waltham Abbey Neighbourhood Action Panel, has sent dozens of the lorries' registration numbers to the Vehicle and Operator Services Agency (Vosa), which is responsible for enforcing HGV laws.
"Vosa take the details, but they can't tell us anything more than the fact that they're putting together a file," he said. "It would be nice to get a little bit more from them.
"My real concern is keeping the Essex County Council highways department involved.
"I've been told the painting of double yellow lines is about to be signed off."
He added that he was keen to see the entrance to the park cleared.
"It's the only vehicle entrance to the Town Mead and a lot of families and visitors go there," he added. "It's unpleasant when some drivers relieve themselves up against their wheels."
Elizabeth O'Connell, of Vosa, said in a letter to the action panel: "While we are unable to provide feedback on any intelligence information that we receive, due to the possible sensitivity of its nature, we are extremely grateful for all the information received."
An Essex County Council spokeswoman said: "A number of restrictions have been proposed along Cartersfield Road that are currently being progressed.
"The proposed restrictions are 'no waiting at any time' double yellow lines."

"We are proud that we preserved our wages, benefits and contractual protections for seniority as well as maintaining the limits of work done by outside contractors," said David McCall, who chairs the union's negotiations with the Luxembourg-based steel company. ArcelorMittal said it was pleased to have "a fair and equitable outcome without disruption to our business operations," according to the Associated Press The United Steelworkers told its members they would receive details on the new contract soon, the AP added. Rank-and-file members still need to approve the contract before it becomes official. Both sides negotiated for 10 weeks after the previous contract expired. Saturday's announcement comes less than a week after the union reached a tentative contract agreement with United States Steel ( X). > > Bull or Bear? Vote in Our Poll

On site flow calibration is painful but necessary
Some new product introductions have raised doubt about what in-situ calibration for flowmeters is, and whether it can be duplicated with simulators and calibrators with expanded diagnostics.
An engineer in a northern USA cement plant says that his plant has "a few magnetic flowmeters that measure water flows, but there are no calibration procedures for them. Our stack gas flowmeters are calibrated by the manufacturer's personnel, but I do not know if they are wet tested or not."
In-situ Calibration Equipment
With the exception of flowmeter provers, most in-situ calibration equipment is designed to calibrate the flowmeter secondary, or transmitter. Some of these calibrators are designed to transfer calibration information to/from other systems such as maintenance management systems. Automating these information transfers can speed the availability of information, improve worker productivity, and reduce the number of errors that inherently occur in a manual system.
John DuBay, Product Manager, Meriam Process Technologies, Cleveland, Oh., says, "Our calibrators address the calibration of the flowmeter secondary. The calibration procedures can be set up and scheduled using PC-based software and then downloaded to a handheld calibrator. The calibration can then be performed and automatically documented, yielding results which are then uploaded back into the PC-based software." Other vendors produce similar systems. Documentation of the calibration can be paperless, and depending upon the system details, integration with computerized maintenance management systems and messaging systems may be possible.
DuBay continues, "Electronic document control for the FDA can be implemented by associating a user with the handheld calibrator that performs the calibration." This is accomplished by means of a pass code and user ID that must be entered to invoke the rights and allow validation of the handheld operator's actions. This signing information, along with the calibration results, is stored in an audit trail that conforms to 21 CFR Part 11 requirements.
Unfortunately, suppliers do not always offer a clear distinction between in-situ calibration and expanded diagnostic coverage. Expanded diagnostic coverage can improve flowmeter availability by continuously monitoring certain parameters and comparing them with historical values to detect and diagnose certain flowmeter problems in a timely manner. Implementing expanded diagnostics can be beneficial to help justify an increase in the time between calibrations. However, performing expanded diagnostic coverage does not provide an in-situ flowmeter calibration (as some suppliers might imply), so it is not a substitute for an in-situ flowmeter calibration and should not be represented as such.
Expanded Diagnostic Coverage
PERIODIC FLOWMETER verification and/or calibration are commonly used to maintain the availability of flowmeters installed in operating facilities. These approaches typically detect flowmeter problems after they occur, and often only after the flowmeter had a detrimental effect on the process.
To detect potential problems before they occur, the transmitter often contains self-diagnostics that verify its operation. While this approach may provide significant diagnostic coverage for the transmitter, it generally provides only rudimentary diagnostic coverage of the flowmeter primary.
However, some flowmeter suppliers are embedding diagnostics that verify the integrity of the flowmeter primary. In general, certain parameters associated with the flowmeter primary are measured in the field and compared with measurements made at the factory. As long as the difference between the factory values and field measurements remain within tolerance, the calibration of the flowmeter primary is presumed to have not shifted. Some expanded diagnostics are continuously monitored, whereas others are performed periodically.
Note that this approach is not a flowmeter calibration, but rather an in-situ flowmeter verification check that implies (but does not definitively determine) that the calibration of the flowmeter primary has not shifted. It can be likened to checking to verify that the condition and dimensions of an orifice plate have not changed, thereby implying that its calibration has not changed. However, this orifice plate check would not detect an out-of-round pipe, coating, plugging, or an obstruction that could change the calibration of the orifice plate flow measurement system. Even using physical inspection of the primary cannot detect out-of-round pipes, welding slag and burrs, a glove caught on the valve upstream, or other serious problems. Only an in-situ flowmeter calibration can do all that and make sure the flowmeter system is accurate and reliable.
Despite its limitations, expanded diagnostic coverage is an in-situ flowmeter verification tool that can improve flowmeter availability and extend intervals between routine calibrations/verifications. It cannot completely replace the actual calibration of a flowmeter system, either in-situ or at the lab.
For example, Micromotion (Emerson Process Management) recently announced the availability of expanded diagnostic coverage for its Coriolis mass flowmeters. They have found that verifying the density calibration by periodically filling the flowmeter with known fluids (typically water and air) implies that the flowmeter calibration has not changed due to product build-up or corrosion.
Some flowmeter suppliers such as ABB, Krohne, and Siemens can provide portable equipment to periodically check their magnetic flowmeter primaries for insulation resistance and other internal electrical parameters that are indicative of flowmeter primary problems. Krohne offers a transmitter with embedded expanded diagnostics that can perform these checks continuously.

I frequently mention my jobs in my posts. For many students, having a job throughout college is quintessential, and for others, an absolute must. I relate to the latter description. I am currently juggling two jobs---those with jobs generally hold one or two. I once held three, but I put a temporary hold to one to focus on my studies.
For those interested in having a job on or around campus, I highly suggest you apply for one before or right at the beginning of the fall semester. After three weeks or so, the work-study jobs are filled up (you can qualify for work-study jobs by selecting the option on your FAFSA). For those without vehicles, it is easiest to get a job on campus. Other non-academic employers incude Dunkin', the Mill, and Sodexo. There are also jobs that offer carpooling from campus (such as my security job).
You can also find jobs off-campus in downtown Northfield. There are a couple dozen businesses that may offer jobs. The walk to downtown is about twenty minutes.
It may be tough juggling a job with your studies. You'll also have to juggling those two with your social life. If your grades begin falling, think about temporary halting your job. Don't quit---just ask for some time off until your prove your grades. The money may be nice, but your grades come before your job.

Ben Affleck Was Asked to Leave Another Casino Apparently
Ben Affleck has reportedly been escorted out of yet another casino for, I don't know, being all Rain Man-ny and sh*t.
The 41-year-old father-of-three was allegedly asked to leave his second casino in as many months for counting cards or potentially winning a lot of the casino's money I suppose.
Radar Online claims (via Star) that the Gone Girl actor hit up the Windsor Hotel and Casino in Ontario on May 31st while on a break from filming Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice in nearby Detroit, MI when the incident occurred.
"Ben walked in and went straight to the card games," an eyewitness in Ontario told the tabloid. "His hair was a disaster, and he looked like a mess! He sat down and played for roughly 20 minutes before security heard he was there. They made the dealers stop what they were doing and asked him to leave. Ben seemed pretty mad."
According to Radar, it's not the first time Affleck, who entered rehab in 2001 for alcohol abuse, had gambled at this particular casino.
A source told the website Ben was spotted on May 24th as well, and the Oscar winner "looked disheveled and upset while sitting there gambling. He seemed really frazzled like he had just lost a ton of money. He was smoking a cigarette and his head was down in his arms. When he sat up his eyes looked bloodshot, like he'd been there all night!"

Heidi Montag Wants to Massage Your Ears With Two New Songs (VIDEO)
Fear not; though we were all devastated by the passing of Knack frontman Doug Fieger earlier this week, the art of crafting classic, timeless pop definitely lives on. Need some proof? Hills vixen Heidi Montag has graced the world with not one, but two new songs today, because she loves us all and wants us to be happy. And dancing.
"Trash Me" issues a stern warning to the haters who would tarnish Montag's meteoric rise to world domination with their negativity, while "Sex Ed" is a bawdy little romp that promises a wealth of carnal knowledge to any lucky man who can look at her radically altered face long enough to get it on. Sample lyric:
You got the green light
Now ready set go
Give me that student body
I'll teach you all I know
See? We told you it was good.
Brace yourself for a bout of sonic bliss and check out the tunes below:

Changer2 Livens Up Your Desktop

- Changer2: Download It Here
Inside Changer2
Changer2 is basically a standalone, modeless property sheet written with the help of the Microsoft Foundation Classes. Because Changer2 is written using MFC, it follows the standard template seen in most MFC applications. Changer2 starts by creating an instance of CMyApp that is derived from the generic CWinApp class.
CMyApp overrides two methods: InitInstance and OnIdle. In InitInstance, Changer2 performs general housekeeping and setup. It first checks to see if another copy of Changer2 is running. If so, it terminates. Then it initializes the random-number generator used to pick selections randomly, and it initializes the registry key to point to "PC Magazine."
Changer2 then checks the command line for the -C switch, which determines whether the user wants to configure Changer2 or actually perform the changes. In a sense, Changer2 is two programs wrapped into one. For configuration, Changer2 must produce the property sheet that users see when configuring the utility. When performing the changes, Changer2 must also be able to run silently in the background, making its changes and terminating.
Even when Changer2 is run to make the changes and terminate, it still creates the property sheet dialog. The reason is that the change logic for the system parameters that Changer2 controls is contained in objects that are integral to the property pages in the dialog. This design grew out of the fact that I designed the user interface first. I generated the classes to support each of the property pages, which in MFC require their own classes. Since the code modules for querying each of the operating system parameters (such as themes and background) were isolated in the different property page objects, including the change logic seemed appropriate.

The original Greenspan-Bernanke position that the regular monetary policy instrument, the official policy rate, should not be used to tackle asset booms/bubbles is sound. To the extent that asset booms have implications for the distribution of future outcomes for the macroeconomic stability objectives (price stability or price stability and economic growth), they will, of course, already have been allowed for under the existing approaches in the US, the Euro Area and the UK.
But the official policy rate should not be used to 'lean against the wind' of asset booms and bubbles beyond that, that is, in their own right. It would overburden the official policy rate and, since going after an asset boom/bubble with the official policy rate is like going after a rogue elephant with a pea shooter, Mundell's principle of effective market classification suggests that the official policy rate not be targeted at asset booms/bubbles in their own right.
That, however, leaves a major asymmetry in the macroeconomic policy and financial stability framework. This asymmetry is not that interest rates respond more sharply to asset market price declines than to asset market price increases. Even if there were no 'Greenspan-Bernanke put', such asymmetry should be expected because asset price booms and busts are not symmetric. Asset price busts are sudden and involve sharp, very rapid asset price falls. Even the most extravagant asset price boom tends to be gradual in comparison. So an asymmetric response to an asymmetric phenomenon is justified. This does not mean that there has been no evidence of a 'Greenspan-Bernanke' put, of course. In fact I believe that phenomenon – excess sensitivity of the Federal Funds target rate to sudden declines in asset prices, and especially US stock prices – to be real, unfortunately.
Fundamentally, the key asymmetry is that the authorities are unable or unwilling, whether for good or bad reasons does not matter here, to let large leveraged financial institutions collapse. There is no matching inclination to expropriate or otherwise financially punish or restrain highly profitable financial institutions. This asymmetry has to be corrected. Therefore, any large leveraged financial institution, commercial bank, investment bank, hedge fund, private equity fund, SIV, Conduit or whatever it calls itself, whatever it does and whatever its legal form, will have to be regulated according to the same principles.
Operationally, the asymmetry is that there exists a panoply of liquidity-and credit-enhancing measures that can be activated during an asset market bust and during a credit crunch, to enhance the availability of credit and to lower its cost, but no corresponding liquidity- and credit-restraining instrumentarium during a boom. When financial markets are disorderly, illiquid or have seized up completely, the lender of last resort and market maker of last resort can spring into action.
We even have proposals now, that, because fair value accounting and reporting rules are procyclical when asset markets are impaired and artificially depressed – asset markets undervalue assets compared to what their fundamental value would with orderly markets – mark-to-market accounting rules be suspended during periods of market illiquidity. That would introduce a further asymmetry, because orderly and technically efficient asset markets can produce valuations that depart from the fundamental valuation because of the presence of a bubble. There have been no calls for mark-to-market accounting and reporting standards to be suspending during asset price booms and bubbles.
Leverage is the key
These asymmetries have to be corrected through regulatory measures, effectively by across-the board credit controls. Every asset and credit boom in history has been characterised by rising leverage. The one we are now suffering the consequences of is no exception. Leverage is a simple concept which may be very difficult to measure, as those struggling to quantify the concept of embedded leverage will know. In the words of the Counterparty Risk Management Group II (2005), "…leverage exists whenever an entity is exposed to changes in the value of an asset over time without having first disbursed cash equal to the value of that asset at the beginning of the period." And: "…the impact of leverage can only be understood by relating the underlying risk in a portfolio to the economic and funding structure of the portfolio as a whole."
Traditional sources of leverage include borrowing, initial margin (some money up front – used in futures contracts) and no initial margin (no money up front – when exposure is achieved through derivatives).
I propose using simple measures of leverage, say a measure of gross exposure to book equity, as a metric for constraining capital insolvency risk (liabilities exceeding assets) of all large, highly leveraged institutions. Common risk-adjusted Basel II-type capital adequacy requirements and reporting requirements would be imposed on all large institutions whose leverage, according to this simple metric, exceeds a given value. These capital adequacy requirements would be varied by the monetary authority in countercyclical fashion.
To address the second way financial entities can fail, what the CRMB calls liquidity insolvency, meaning they run out of cash and are unable to raise new funds, I propose that minimal funding liquidity and market liquidity requirements be imposed on, respectively, the liability side and the asset side of the balance sheets of all large leveraged financial institutions. These liquidity requirements would also be tightened and loosened by the monetary authority in countercyclical fashion.
Finally, I would propose that all large leveraged institutions that are deemed too large, too interconnected, or simply too well-connected to fail, be made subject to a Special Resolution Regime along the lines that exists today for deposit-taking institutions through the FDIC. A concept of regulatory insolvency, which could bite before either capital insolvency or liquidity insolvency kicks in, must be developed that allows an official administrator to take control of any large, leveraged financial institution and engage in Prompt Corrective Action. The intervention of the administrator would be expected to impose serious penalties on existing shareholders, incumbent board and management and possibly on the creditors as well. The intervention should aim to save the institution, not its owners, managers or creditors.

Yes, we know, Mr. or Mrs. Big Celeb, Twitter is just such a great way to show your fans that you're real people. But you've got to dial it down a notch. Celebrities are making asses of themselves left and right 140 characters at a time. For the benefit of our famous friends, here are five simple rules to prevent future humiliation.
5: Don't announce somebody's death. Seriously, I know that we're just days away from Armageddon and the fabric of society is unraveling like a cheap sweater, but can we at least pretend to have some decorum? I'm referring, of course, to reality TV strumpet Shanna Moakler, who broke the news to the world that celebrity DJ AM had passed away a few weeks ago. Not a solemn announcement in the newspapers, not a somber private statement from his family, but a bleach-blonde MTV washout Twittering to a legion of idiots. "My deepest condolences for DJ AM, you were a great artist and will be severely missed. My thoughts and Prayers to his family and friends." I'm surprised she didn't end it with a few :( :( :( sad faces :(.
4: Don't serve legal papers on Twitter. Courtney Love, in response to her dead sugar daddy Kurt Cobain's image being in Rock Band 5: "or f****** dismiss me as a ranting loon a ranting loon with assloads of docxumentation and proof and a "pending" FBI investigation in OC." Usually, these matters are handled by registered mail on your lawyer's letterhead, not incoherent babbling at 4AM, but I've flunked the Bar twice so I could certainly be wrong.
3: Don't use ghost writers. Seriously, who is so dumb that they can't generate 140 characters of content? Well, Britney Spears, for one, who actually advertised for somebody to fill her Twitter with gems like "You Want a Piece of me? Mojo sent Shannon to The Post. The first to order the fried mac and cheese from her gets my ring side seats." We're obviously in the wrong business. Or how about 50 Cent? When it leaked that his webmaster was writing his Tweets, dude responded with "He doesn't actually use Twitter. But the energy of it is all him." OH RIGHT THE ENERGY OK THAT'S COOL.
2: Don't blame hackers. Seriously, blaming hackers for stupid Tweets is the new "I got it off a toilet seat." Lindsay, why the fridge would a hacker get in to your Twitter account and use it to accuse Justin Timberlake of cheating on Jessica Biel? Hackers don't think like that. Face it, slag: you were hammered, jealous, and your thumbs just started flying. Own up to it and move on. Oh, wait, this is Lindsay Lohan – she's not moving on to anything.
1: Don't not be Shaq. Shaquille O'Neill has the celebrity Twitter game on lock. Funny, stupid, and 100% honest, THE_REAL_SHAQ is the only celeb that anybody should follow. From nuggets of wisdom like "Some rumors are planted for a reaction, i dnt react, i act , have u seen kazaam, i kno terrible, lol" to perplexing Zen koans like "I hate leprekons lol," Shaq is the king of Twitter and we all his humble servants.

Oregon basketball remains undefeated at home, defeats Nebraska 60-38
With a win against Nebraska, the Oregon men's basketball team improved to 9-1 on the season.
The Ducks kept their perfect record at home in tact today thanks to a strong defensive effort. Nebraska was held to just 38 points and simply couldn't get anything going on the offensive end as they finished the game shooting 30.6 percent. The Ducks may have had their woes on offense as well, but their performance on the defensive end proved to be too much for the Huskers.
Both teams struggled in the early going, and it seemed to impact the tempo of not only the first half, but the remainder of the game. The Huskers slowed down the game to where they wanted it, and though they were not successful on the offensive end of the floor, they prevented the Ducks from running down the floor.
"They got the tempo to where they wanted, " Coach Dana Altman said in regards to the Huskers setting the tempo. "We wanted the game in the 80s and they wanted the game in the 60s, and that's where they got it," Altman said after the game.
The Ducks came out in the first half flat. With 11:59 remaining in the first half, the Ducks were shooting a dismal 35.7 percent from the field and it really didn't improve too much as the half went along. It wasn't until Tony Woods recorded back-to-back dunks — which gave the Ducks a commanding 16-6 lead — that's when the Ducks really started to separate from the Huskers. Without Woods, who recorded 8 points and 2 rebounds, the Ducks found themselves in a closely contested first half. As both teams continued to struggle from the field, the first half ended with an unimpressive 27-18 score. The Ducks ended up shooting 42.3 percent from the field, but only managed to hold a nine-point lead at the half.
The Ducks came out in the second half looking to extend their lead on a struggling Nebraska team. After a Dominic Artis lob pass from half court to E.J. Singler, the Ducks found themselves with a sizable 37-20 lead over the Huskers. The Huskers continued to struggle from the field and despite closing the gap to 11 points with 9:11 to go, the Ducks held their ground and cruised to a 60-38 win.
Even in a blowout win, Altman was far from impressed. As Pac-12 play inches closer, Altman understands the Ducks still have much to improve before they can perform in conference play, and today's game confirmed those feelings.
"We probably sent the game back about 10 years," Altman said after the win. "Our shooting and ball movement just wasn't what I thought it would be; Nebraska didn't shoot the ball either, so they got the pace where they wanted because of that. We really never got a good flow to our offense and the energy in the building from our team wasn't what I hoped it would be so it was it was a win, but we didn't take the step I wanted to take," Altman said. "We didn't establish the things that would make us successful."
Takeaways. In an otherwise blowout win, the Ducks had two things to be happy about: Arsalan Kazemi and Woods. Woods arguably had one of his best all-around performances today, as he finished with 14 points on 7-11 shooting along with four rebounds. Kazemi continued his dominance on the floor as he racked up a game-high 17 rebounds along with 10 points to give him a double-double on the day.
"I'm jealous that Arsalan gets all the boards. I don't get any boards," jokes Woods after the game. "It's great being able to play and know he's gonna grab every board. He let's me roam around, be free, block more shots, rebound and focus more on rebounding and defense," Woods said.
"Arsalan really rebounded the ball, he's unbelievable," Altman said.
"Tony made some nice plays offensively, but we got a long ways to go," he added. "Tony is evolving as a player and he was 7-11, so I thought he did a lot of good things. He's got to get a better feel when they collapse on him and make plays; kick it out there, post and re-post, but I think he's getting better as an offensive player."
Turning point. After a rough stretch of shooting where neither team scored for three minuets — where the Ducks missed five consecutive shots — Woods recorded back-to-back dunks to give the Ducks some much needed momentum and energy. This allowed the Ducks to get going on the offensive side of the ball and sparked a run that would really never come to an end as the Ducks led for the rest of the game.
On the horizon. The Ducks now head to El Paso, Texas, as they are set to play Texas-El Paso on Dec. 19. Tip off is set for 5 p.m.

A passion for LIFE AND DESIGN
My name is Cortney Brown and I am a graphic designer, amateur photographer and fly fisherwoman. I grew up in Encinitas, California, surfing, exploring the coastline and eating tons of burritos.
I have a Bachelor of Arts degree from Humboldt State University as well as a Management Certificate in Graphic Design from Emily Carr/ BCIT. I have traveled far and wide in the name of art, spending a summer in Greece studying ceramics and life drawing and a year in Spain studying international business, life drawing and Spanish.
Five years ago, after a whirlwind snowboarding trip to Whistler, BC, I fell in love with the Sea to Sky area and my fate was decided. As a great lover of the ocean and all of its critters it was only natural to start exploring the beautiful BC lakes and rivers. Fly fishing has taken me on some incredible adventures and provided endless inspiration for my photography and design.
I currently live in Squamish, BC, and spend every chance I get on the river dodging bald eagles and evading apex predators in search of wild trout and steelhead.
These days I am working as a Graphic Production Manager and freelancing on the side but I always find my way back to the waters edge. I look forward to many more adventures in the design world, big fish and the peace and clarity of mind that the river brings.

California legislators call for fracking moratorium
"As you know, California values protecting our environment and public health and safety," the nine legislators wrote. "Current studies show fracking threatens California's precious water supply, further disrupts our approach to mitigate the dangerous impacts of climate change, exacerbates our air pollution problems, and the disposal of wastewater associated with fracking may increase seismic activity."

California legislators call for fracking moratorium
by Dan Bacher
Nine California Legislators on January 7 sent a letter to Governor Jerry Brown asking that he issue an executive order to prohibit the Division of Oil, Gas, and Geothermal Resources (DOGGR) within the Department of Conservation from allowing fracking in the state until health and environmental concerns are addressed.
Legislators signing the letter include Marc Levine, Assemblymember, 10th Assembly District; Das Williams, Assemblymember, 37th Assembly District; Adrin Nazarian, Assemblymember, 46th Assembly District; Richard Bloom, Assemblymember, 50th Assembly District; Loni Hancock, State Senator, 9th Senate District; Bonnie Lowenthall, Assemblymember, 70th Assembly District; Noreen Evans, State Senator, 2nd Senate District; Phil Ting, Assemblymember, 19th Assembly District; and Lois Wolk, State Senator, 3rd Senate District;
"The vast public health and safety implications of fracking, as well as the tremendous public concern over this practice, require our collective and urgent action," they wrote. "We believe it is time to join with Californians who disapprove of the dangers fracking poses to their communities."
The legislators noted that they joined CREDO Action in calling for this moratorium - and attached to their letter a petition on this issue circulated by CREDO Action and signed by thousands of Californians.
"As you know, California values protecting our environment and public health and safety," they said. "Current studies show fracking threatens California's precious water supply, further disrupts our approach to mitigate the dangerous impacts of climate change, exacerbates our air pollution problems, and the disposal of wastewater associated with fracking may increase seismic activity."
"Therefore, we respectfully request that you impose a moratorium on fracking while you fully investigate the science behind fracking for oil production," they concluded.
The letter is available at: http://asmdc.org/members/a10/.
The 60-day public comment period for the proposed regulations for "well stimulation treatment" for oil and gas production authorized by Senator Fran Pavley's Senate Bill 4 began on November 15 and will end on January 15. The California Department of Conservation (DOC) said there will likely be an additional 45-day public comment period later in 2014.
Zack Malitz, Campaign Manager of CREDO Action from Working Assets, said the most important flaw in Governor Brown's fracking regulations is that they allow fracking, as well as other dangerous oil-extraction techniques like acidizing, in which huge quantities of acid are injected underground. The regulations provide the green light to the expansion of fracking and acidizing in California.
"There are no regulations that can make fracking safe," emphasized Malitz. "However it's regulated, fracking contaminates water, produces toxic air pollution, creates dangerous wastewater, industrializes communities, and accelerates climate change by allowing the fossil fuel industry to burn and extract otherwise inaccessible oil and gas."

On Monday, so many people showed up to attend the public comment hearing on draft fracking regulations in Sacramento that state officials had to find a larger room in the EPA building to accomodate the crowd.
Over 80 percent of the people that attended, including representatives of the Sierra Club, Food and Water Watch, Center for Biological Diversity and other organizations, supported a moratorium or ban on the controversial oil extraction process. Representatives of the Western States Petroleum Association and other oil industry organizations praised the regulations for being the "strongest" and "strictest" fracking regulations in the nation.

Where are they going to get the WATER to pump down in the WELLS? From Folsom Dam? From the Delta? If so.....the Ocean Water would rush in the Delta where the water agencies get the PUBLIC's water ....
Energy Policy Act of 2005 -- Exempted disclosure of fluids used in the natural gas extraction process of hydraulic fracturing (fracking) from the LAWS under the --
Clean Air Act,
Clean Water Act,
Safe Drinking Water Act.
Wonder how much fracking would happen if these LAWS were put back????
Wednesday Jan 8th, 2014 8:54 PM
In a study of 141 water wells near a fracking area conducted by Duke University, it was found that many of the wells had 6 times the amount of methane, 23 times the amount of ethane and 200 times the amount of radium after fracking occurred in the area. 7 percent of the water wells also contained propane. The Duke researchers also made the point that fracking contaminates the air as well as the water.
David Brown, a toxicologist for the Southwest Pennsylvania Environmental Health Project had this to say about fracking: "The people often placed at risk are not necessarily benefiting or employed by the oil and gas extraction industry. They are free citizens who have had these risks imposed on them. No one, especially ourselves as public health officials can assure people who live, work or attend school near drilling and fracking operations that they are safe".
It is also a basic reality that no one charged with inspecting oil and gas wells looks for leaks down hole. They basically assume that the drilling mud (also toxic) seals the well bore during drilling and that the cement poured around the casing seals the upper well bore from leaks but there are no guarantees. Gas released in the fracking process frequently migrates upward via porous layers of rock, small faults and along the outside of the well casing, especially in older wells.
Remember- fracking is designed to release gas and that's what it does. No man made system can harvest 100 percent of the gas that is released and keep it from getting into the water and air.
The proposed fracking zones could become "sacrifice" areas, where, like in West Virginia people suffer from the deadly diseases caused by coal mining which also pollutes the air and water big time.
We the tax payers of America should not be forced to live in an oil field because oil and gas fields are not safe for man or beast.

All this uproar about hydraulic fracturing putting contaminants in the ground, yet not one word about Geo-engineering and the folks spraying nano-aluminum to block out the Sun. These good people are told they are fighting "global warming" by spraying Chemtrails.
The establishment is spraying poison on us without our knowledge or consent.
It's right there up in the sky, streaks clear across from one horizon to the other, but as effective as media censorship is, folks ignore Chemtrails, and get riled up about what they cannot even see.

Dog memorial is insulting Aug. 18 letter
Canine officer deserves respect
The letter was very distasteful. I live here in Zephyrhills only about a block from where the dog lived, The dog had a name; it was Gunner. He was a member of the Zephyrhills Police Department and was in commission of his duty when he died. He was a big, beautiful dog and deserved the respect that he got.
To the writer, I'm a Vietnam veteran and served my time honorably. I find your remarks disgusting and unforgiveable.
Roy Cousins, Zephyrhills
Police dogs risk lives for partners
The writer should be ashamed of himself for his uncaring remarks about this. Is he not aware that this dog is trained to put his life on the line for his partner, just as the writer was when he was in Iraq or Afghanistan?
These police dogs are just as important as their fellow human partners. Try talking to a canine officer sometime and see how she or he feels.
Diane Howard, Hudson
Tribute reflects community value
The writer is obviously ignorant to what the canine officer and their partners do every day on the public's behalf.
They enter empty, darkened buildings and run out through swamps in the middle of the night to pursue criminals. Places that you would not go during daylight, they charge into, with no thought to the danger or the outcome.
The dog and handler complete thousands of hours of training practicing in the same type of environment, week after week. I would bet if you asked the gentleman whose life was saved by Officer Gunner and his handler he may have thought the tribute was not enough.
A true veteran, whose dog was killed in Iraq and is now a canine officer, made a five-hour round-trip drive from the East Coast just to pay tribute because he knows the importance of the canines and their value to the community and their country.
Dan Rinaldo, Land O'Lakes
Traffic kindness not hard to show
What happened to the days when you helped someone out in traffic and they thanked you?
I was always taught that manners made a difference, something I always taught my children as they grew up. Now, you let a driver in, and nothing. Is it really that hard to raise your hand for thanks?
It is getting to a point where I will not be willing to help a guy out. Please just raise your hand to me in thanks.
Tracey Switala, Holiday
Sports complex wastes money
What is wrong with the Pasco County commissioners? I just cannot believe that they are once again pinning their hopes on another losing proposition: a sports complex.
In the current economic climate, not even the Taj Mahal if it were a sports complex would draw crowds. Even the Daytona 500 this year had the smallest attendance in its history! No one will come to the complex that the commissioners want to build.
While I am aware that the bed tax is supposed to be used to build facilities that will promote future tourism, I dare the commissioners to put it to a referendum of the people in 2010.
Go ahead, ask the taxpayers if in this time of crisis they would prefer that this $11.6 million be given to the taxpayers in the form of reduced property taxes for the citizens of Pasco.
At the very least, if the commissioners will not ask the citizens what they want to do with this money, they should abandon this ridiculous idea of building a sports complex. No matter what Commissioner Jack Mariano thinks, we do not need it. No one will come. And it will just be an eventual increase in taxes for the upkeep. It will never generate the revenue to support itself.
This is just one more example of stupid, irresponsible, wasteful spending by another government entity.
Joanne Bailey, Bayonet Point
Editor's note: By law, tourist tax dollars cannot be used for non-tourism spending such as property tax relief.

Wujou, thanks for the pics as they bring back memories of the 17 years during multiple assignment there since 1972 that IK lived and worked. Most recently 8 years from 1998 to Nov 2006. For your photo archiving purposes, if you need any assistance with local identification let me know as the location of your pics most seem familiar to me. Nice pics. Ciao!

Hey, your pics are really good. I am currently teaching in Korea, and recognize most of those places. How long are you in Korea for?
It sure looks like you have been around to many places in Seoul and outside of Seoul as well. I recognize Bulguska temple (Gyeongju), Hwaseong Fortress Wall (Suwon), Gyeongbukong Palace (Seoul).
How long are they filming for? Did you try the silkworm? (gross eh)

South Korea was my first exposure to SE Asia, company I worked for at the time offered me the opportunity to work on a project in Pohang back in 1988. Back then as a young skint 24 year old married with twin daughters I jumped at the opportunity and have never looked back.
It was during my time on that project when a co-worker introduced me to Thailand, even back then he was living in BKK and married to a Thai lady, and he realised how unhappy I was with married life back in farangland and convinced me to "Cash In" my RnR tickets and spend time in Thailand with him instead. Twenty Two years down the line I am still in SE Asia, I never did make it back to UK, and the "Co-Worker" is still here and I refer to him as Uncle.
I have worked in Korea again in the past few years, Ulsan (Hyundai Ship Yards) in 2005 and Seoul (Samsung Engineering Head Office) 2008 but it was not the same as my first time there. I cannot put my finger on whether Korea has changed or I have become "Asianised" in retrospect it is probably a bit of both, but Korea will always have a special place in my heart as the first Asian country I lived in and the stepping stone to finding Thailand/

Familiarity with Ulsan and the Industrial area in Kumi as well as most of the other parts of the peninsula. Changes there since 1972 have been tremendous and for the better for the country as a whole. Too bad the mentality of the people can not change for the better. More than 17 years resident in Korea and I do miss the cousine. Nang Myun (cold rice noodles) in the summer and Taegutong (spicy fish soup) in the winter and then of course they have all the other great tasting Kor foods.

Duquesne fire displaces 2 families
An early morning fire in Duquesne on Wednesday displaced two families.
The fire started about 4:45 a.m. and burned three houses in the 100 block of North Fourth Street.
It is believed the fire started at 117 N. Fourth St. then spread to neighboring properties at 115 and 113 N. Fourth, according to Duquesne VFD Chief Andrew Fedor.
"Due to the bulk of the fire and because the houses were so close it spread," said Fedor.
Two of the three properties were occupied and considered to be total losses. The third house was vacant and sustained minor damage.
Fire crews from surrounding communities were called in to help fight the blaze, which took about two hours to get under control. Cold temperatures were an issue for responders, who had to apply salt to prevent roadways around the fire from freezing.
Fedor said two people who lived in the home at 117 N. Fourth St. received assistance from the American Red Cross.
Jeanette Curley, who lived in the center property, said she was already awake when she heard her neighbor pounding on her door to alert her of the fire.
"He asked me to call 911 because his house was involved and it was burning real bad," said Curley, noting the attic area of her neighbor's house was engulfed in flames when she went outside. By the time the first fire trucks arrived, she said the blaze had already spread to her home.
Curley said her church, City of Hope of Nazarene in Duquesne, was helping her with temporary shelter at the Waterfront. Her pastor, the Rev. Darrell Robinson, was at the fire scene.
Robinson complimented the good works of a neighbor across the street who aided Curley in the immediate aftermath of the fire.
The Allegheny County Fire Marshal is investigating the cause of the incident.

Nine Inch Nails' 'Year Zero' Coming To TV Soon?
Nine Inch Nails 2007 album 'Year Zero' was a politically charged concept album that told the tale of a dystopian future through multiple viewpoints. It has been long-rumored to be in production to hit theaters or television, now it looks as if the rumors are finally true.
Nine Inch Nails Trent Reznor has been more focused on scoring movies after winning an Oscar and a Golden Globe for his efforts in last year's 'The Social Network'. Reznor has once again teamed with director David Fincher to provide the music for his upcoming adaptation of 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo'. Oddly enough; while he contributes music to a film, his music is being put on film in an entirely separate project.
The latest reports say that the NIN album 'Year Zero' will be adapted for a mini-series in a co-production between HBO and the BBC. Jim Uhls has been drafted to write the project for the small screen. Uhls previously adapted the Chuck Palahniuck novel 'Fight Club' for the big screen, ironically, David Fincher directed the movie.
Trent said recently that another Nine Inch Nails album was on the list of things to do and that it fell right after scoring 'Dragon Tattoo' and the film adaptation of 'Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter', which he would also have a cameo role in. He has since dropped out of 'ALVH', so a new NIN album may be closer than you think.
'Year Zero' was Reznor's vision of where the country was headed under the policies of then-President George W. Bush, his disdain for the former commander-in-chief comes through clear as a bell on tracks like 'Capitol G'.

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. OverviewOne of the true mysteries of the Myth series, The Leveler is an ancient being of unknown origin and untold evil. It has accosted humanity since the beginning of recorded history, and it is conceivable that it has done so since the beginning of time. Unlike the gods Wyrd and Nyx, whose influence upon the world is passive at best, The Leveler takes corporeal form once a millennium in order to personally pursue its destructive agenda. Over the course of these incarnations, The Leveler has shown itself to be a creature of pure chaos that does not desire conquest so much as utter devastation. Each appearance of The Leveler has traditionally been followed by an extended period of war, with the combined efforts of many nations (or tribes) required to turn back its armies. It is not known how The Leveler reincarnates itself, but it does seem to have a penchant for inhabiting the bodies of heroes who once defeated it. One of the prevailing theories posits that The Leveler is bound to an occurrence known as The Thousand Year Cycle, and that its primary purpose is to usher in successive periods of Light and Dark. According to this theory, however, Balor, the most recent Leveler, was meant to have won, and the world was meant to have been plunged into darkness for a thousand years. The fact that neither of these things occurred leaves both the nature of the Cycle and The Leveler itself in question.IncarnationsSorangath the FlayedAppearing toward the end of the Axe Age, Sorangath, the first recorded Leveler, was confronted by Tireces the Immortal and the unified human tribes, who banded together specifically to combat the threat he posed. His defeat in 570 H.C. is considered the beginning of the Age of Reason, a time of unparalleled prosperity for mankind. Sorangath was killed after being immobilized by magic and beheaded, and his body was later burned at the stake.Moagim the Faceless TerrorHeralded by a comet in 431 A.E., Moagim's appearance signaled the end of the Age of Reason and the beginning of a dark time known as the Wind Age. Perhaps his greatest accomplishment was the organization of the nightmarish Myrkridia, who would continue to terrorize man long after Moagim's defeat. The name of the person responsible for Moagim's death has been lost, but it is known that Moagim himself was drawn and quartered, and the pieces of his body dragged to the four corners of the world.MjarinThe third Leveler, at first thought to be Moagim Reborn, was ultimately revealed to be Mjarin, personal advisor to Emperor Leitrim. Unlike previous incarnations, Mjarin was content to manipulate events from the shadows, and only revealed himself once he was sure of his victory. Though Leitrim would eventually succumb to Mjarin's machinations, Connacht the Wolf, the great hero of the Wind Age, defeated and decapitated Mjarin before he could fully realize his goals.BalorThe reincarnation of Connacht, Balor arose early in the Sword Age, quickly sacking the Cath Bruig capital and beginning a war which would span several decades. Though Balor was very nearly able to complete his conquest, a desperate plan enacted by the Avatara Alric unexpectedly brought about his demise and thus shattered his armies. The severed head of Balor was thrown into the Great Devoid shortly after his death in order to prevent him from being revived.
