Pants on Fire
Last night we had two patients that in a professional nursing way, we would call "extremely poor historians" -- meaning they told us lies.
Why would you tell a lie to someone who is going to help you.
And how sad would it be to live a life full of lies, not remember who you told what to?
I find, as a mom, it's really hard to punish lying. I mean... do I truly KNOW if Conner brushed his teeth, or ran his toothbrush under the water to pretend he brushed. I truly want to punish bad behavior... but I also want him to know I trust and love him.
Do you guys have any way of dealing with lying in your kids?
I think my main thing is to realize the consequences of lying. For instance, that he'll have his teeth rot and have to spend a lot of time at the dentist if he doesn't brush. Also, taking him to church and letting him know the feeling of guilt when he does something wrong.
Anyway, that's my thoughts for today.

You know, lying is hard to deal with. BUT, when I'm absolutely sure she's lying she gets disciplined for lying. I always make sure to tell her that she's not in trouble because of what she did or didn't do and was trying to cover up...but she is in trouble for not telling the truth about it.ReplyDelete
It seems to have worked fairly well for now...because when I'm not sure whether or not she's telling the truth, and I say "Really?" to her story, she'll quickly change it if it isn't true.
When she's a teenager? Who the heck knows how I will deal with it? I don't even want to think about it. But your thought about accepting the natural consequences is a good one.
I had this habitual liar roomate in college. And she lied so much she just believed it was her truth. So I think some people who are in the habit of lying get to the point they don't see the difference between the truth and a lie. It's really facinating. But sad too.ReplyDelete

A framework for parallel computational physics algorithms on multi-core: SPH in parallel
Holmes, David W., Williams, John R., and Tilke, Peter (2011) A framework for parallel computational physics algorithms on multi-core: SPH in parallel. Advances in Engineering Software, 42 (11). pp. 999-1008.

Restricted to Repository staff only
In this paper, a simulation framework that enables distributed numerical computing in multi-core shared-memory environments is presented. Using multiple threads allows a single memory image to be shared concurrently across cores but potentially introduces race conditions. Race conditions can be avoided by ensuring each core operates on an isolated memory block. This is usually achieved by running a different operating system process on each core, such as multiple MPI processes. However, we show that in many computational physics problems, memory isolation can also be enforced within a single process by leveraging spatial sub-division of the physical domain. A new spatial sub-division algorithm is presented that ensures threads operate on different memory blocks, allowing for in-place updates of state, with no message passing or creation of local variables during time stepping. Additionally, the developed framework controls task distribution dynamically ensuring an events based load balance. Results from fluid mechanics analysis using Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) are presented demonstrating linear performance with number of cores.

How Many People Own That Car?
A few months ago I was exploring the idea of buying a new car with Mrs. LaymanPsych. We had a few cars that we thought would fit the bill but she really settled on the Volkswagon Golf. Affordable, good gas mileage, sporty enough to be fun, and gosh darn-it was it cute (and what's more important than cute?). We visited a few dealerships and even found a few potential cars we figured we might consider purchasing. We mulled over the decision, weighed in on other cars and tried to establish if it was a cost we wanted to take on.
Something strange started happening over these couple of weeks. We really thought we had stumbled upon a unique fun little car. Sure we'd seen a few around here and there but nothing crazy. Seemingly out of nowhere we started seeing this thing everywhere. Every time we went out we counted 3, 5, 10 different people driving the Golf. The car was everywhere. It seemed like everyone owned a golf. A few weeks later we ditched the idea on the Golf. Not because we thought too many people owned them but because a Nissan Altima became available from a family member.
I was happy. Another affordable car with decent gas millage and was well taken care of. Besides, not too many people own Altimas. But you know what? Shortly after getting the Altima I started seeing them everywhere. New ones, old ones (like mine). It seemed like everyone owned an Altima and no one owned anything else…like a Golf.
Obviously the rest of society isn't changing their cars to annoy me. So what's going on here? Often referred to as The Baader-Meinhof Phenomena, this tendency to see things consistently only shortly after first recognizing them is the result of a cognitive bias that leads to a distorted perception of reality (there aren't actually more VW's on the road). Part of what is fueling this is Priming.
This story is nothing unique to myself and I know that you've experienced it too. Something that you think is novel, new or obscure suddenly seems very common once you hear about it. What's happening here is a simple psychological effect that healthy individuals can't avoid called priming. When we are exposed to something enough it sort of rises to the surface of our consciousness. The idea is that by exposing the mind to a stimuli or memory, the pathways to that memory, stimuli, or construct are reinforced.
An analogy: If the park is your memory, then the path from your house to that park is the pathway. The number of people that use that pathway and the frequency with which it's used determines how defined the path is.
Our memories work in much the same way. Since I kept looking up Golf's online, looking at them in person, thinking about them in the car (should I get a Golf?) then when I'm around them, I'm more likely to see them. Not because there are more of them (obviously) but merely because I have conditioned my mind to be more aware of them.
This is why things like cramming for tests does not work. Although it seems like you can "prime yourself" for a test, the truth is that there simply isn't enough time dedicated to a single topic to do well on an entire test. You might be able to cram one formula in your head the night before, but not an entire chapter. This is also why we are very prone to hearing our name if someone says it in a group of large people (known as the cocktail party effect).

Boy Scouts Keeps National Ban on Gay Scouts and Scout Leaders
February 6, 2013 by Charlie Joughin
Today the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) Board put off a decision on changing its membership policy to include gay scouts. HRC President Chad Griffin issued this statement in response to the Board's inaction.
"Every day that the Boy Scouts of America delay action is another day that discrimination prevails," said HRC President Chad Griffin. "Now is the time for action. Young Americans, gay and straight, are hurt by the inaction associated with today's news. The BSA leadership should end this awful policy once and for all, and open the proud tradition of Scouting to all."
According to news reports, BSA said Wednesday the organization will delay action on the resolution until its national meeting in May.
Poll results released today by Quinnipiac University shows a strong majority of U.S. voters believe it is time for BSA to end its ban on openly gay members. Only 33 percent of voters said the ban should remain in place.

Morning commuters who take the Queens-Midtown Tunnel into Manhattan are getting their extra lane back after Superstorm Sandy.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced Friday that what's known as a contraflow traffic pattern will resume Monday morning. One normally Queens-bound lane is converted to Manhattan-bound from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. weekdays.
The tunnel under the East River carries about 78,000 vehicles on an average weekday. It was severely flooded during the Oct. 29 storm.
The tunnel reopened to cars on Nov. 9 and trucks a week later. But workers still needed to make repairs to the green and red signal lights that indicate when and where contraflow traffic can go.
That's been done now. Cuomo says the tunnel is "fully restored to pre-Sandy service."

The year was 1993 and to be honest not a lot of nice things happened. The world trade centre was bombed, the Northern Ireland talks weren't looking promising, Sadam was being difficult about weapon inspectors and there was a rather nasty nuclear accident in Tomsk-7, a small town in Russia. On the brighter side Microsoft released Windows 3.1 and much more importantly Sid Meier's most excellent software development company Microprose struck gold again with a game called Master of Orion and made an otherwise depressing year a little bit more bearable.
Master of Orion (or MoO – yes I know), was a turn based strategy game based in space, where your goal is to take over the entire galaxy by colonizing solar systems and a rather clever combination of diplomacy and war. Victory is achieved when you have either taken over the entire galaxy or you have been elected the High Leader by the Galactic Council.
In short it was probably the best game released up until that point for PC and Apple Mac, and three years later, the sequel: Master of Orion II: Battle at Antares (MoO:2) was even better! There was a third game, but it wasn't a Microprose game and it should never have been released, it was that bad – enough said.
A few years ago a fantastic team of programmers decided they wanted to realise the untapped potential of the Master of Orion games and they began work on an open source project called Free Orion. There have been a few buggy releases over the years, but now it is fully playable and absolutely excellent, with full multiplayer and online modes too! Along side Oolite, this is now probably one of the best open source games available.
I'm not going to rant and rave about this game too much, because you need to play it yourself to see how good it is. If you played the original games, all I can say is that this project really does embrace the spirit of the Master of Orion Series.
Here are the useful links:
Enjoy and watch out for the Guardian!

According to two Keuka College juniors, the Field Period internships they conducted in the human resource divisions of different global corporations were the best of times.
While she went to a Boston bio-tech company of 5,000, he went to the U.S. headquarters (Pittsburgh) of a global chemical corporation that employs 17,500 people. Both are juniors, both worked May – August 2013, and both were paid – an uncommon occurrence in the arena of collegiate internships.
She is Sini Ngobese, a business and organizational communication major from Durban, South Africa. He is Devon Locher, a business major from Baden, Pa. Both students are pursuing human resources (HR) concentrations in their business majors, while Locher's second concentration is in marketing. While Ngobese conducted her Field Period at Biogen Idec, Locher conducted his at Lanxess, a corporation focused on development, manufacturing and marketing of plastics, rubber and specialty chemicals. While she researched best-practice policies for redrafting an internal human resources (HR) manual, he worked on internal surveys covering employee and international intern integration into the city and company culture.
Locher said he was able to visit a production site in Ohio once which allowed him to see some of the manufacturing side of the company – with its setting and safety protocols – as well as the corporate side. The Pittsburgh workplace was positive and upbeat, he said, and while Locher already conducted two HR-related field periods, confirming that HR is the field he wants to work in, his two prior internships were at much smaller corporations.
At a prior Field Period, Locher learned he didn't enjoy accounting work, but at Lanxess, no two days were ever the same," he said. "There was always something different going on, even if some of the tasks were the same. That's what I liked about it."
In addition to developing what turned out to be a 30-page PowerPoint for managers to review, Locher also researched other company plans to ensure affirmative action laws and other HR standards comply with a wide variety of state and federal guidelines.
"I learned a lot through research," Locher said. "I think that's why Keuka does the Field Period, because you can only do so much in the classroom and then you have to get out out there and work and see how it applies."
According to Ngobese, Biogen Idec is the second largest bio-tech company in the world, manufacturing drugs for those suffering from autoimmune diseases. Ngobese was stationed in its Weston branch office, although the company has locations "all over the globe," she said.
Ngobese said her duties focused on the capture and synchronization of all U.S., European, and Canadian HR policies, to be shared on a new self-service portal for employees.
"It was, by far, the greatest career experience I've had thus far and truly fulfilled what the Field Period mission and vision strives to achieve," said Ngobese. In addition to confirming her career aspirations and the type of company culture she hopes to find, Ngobese said her Field Period also helped her find a professional role model: Elizabeth Abbott, her supervisor.
"All of us were "wowed" by Sini's professionalism, communication, work ethic and work product," said Abbott. "Sini has many strengths, but her ability to communicate effectively, professionally, clearly, and persuasively in both written and oral communications is what really stands out to me. I was proud to have her represent my department and proud to call her a member of my team. She will be a strong contributor, I believe, wherever she goes."
Thanks to Abbott, Ngobese said she now knows exactly what kind of female leader she wants to be, and has a clear sense what future purpose she can have within the HR field. She befriended other HR interns and was able to benchmark herself against those coming from bigger schools and gain confidence that she could still hold her own with them. The experience was so fulfilling, Ngobese may be invited to return to intern a second time, and if so, that would be in the company's Cambridge, Mass., offices where the HR department will be moved.
"It was intrinsically rewarding in that it truly helped me see that this is what I want to do as a career for the rest of my life," she said. "I woke up thrilled to go to work and that really was an amazing experience for me."
Editor's Note: Where can a Keuka degree take you? This is the seventh in a series of snapshot profiles on members of Keuka's Class of 2013.
Jose Cervantes '13 was born in Guadalajara, Jalisco-Mexico, but grew up in Horseheads. With aspirations of working for Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) in its Madrid, Spain branch office, Cervantes earned a degree in business management with a marketing concentration and will pursue a second degree through Keuka: a master's of management with a concentration in international business.
Cervantes played midfield on Keuka's men's soccer team in his junior and senior years after transferring in from Corning Community College, where he played as a sophomore. He'll compete one more year for Keuka while grad school is underway. Indeed, sports have played a major role in the internship experiences Cervantes pursued through Keuka's Field Period program. His senior year internship was conducted at Watkins Glen International Speedway.
"I benefited the most from the Field Periods," Cervantes said of Keuka. "Having [job] experience before graduation is a great plus in the 'real world.'"
While grad school is underway, Cervantes will branch out in his new role as restaurant chain supervisor at Garcia's Mexican restaurant (his family's business), where he will also oversee marketing.

For junior Devin Filipiak, spending his January Field Period at the Finger Lakes Museum was a chance to build on past Field Period experiences, classroom work, Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE) team participation, and his work-study position to expand his marketing portfolio.
It was also an opportunity for the marketing and management major to continue his volunteer work with the museum.
"SIFE's focus this year is to be more hands-on in the community, and since the museum is so close to the College, this was a good place to volunteer," said Filipiak, a resident of Orchard Park. "Last summer, I helped with the museum's signature series, Back from the Brink: The Story of Hemlock and Canadice Lakes, that took place around the Finger Lakes, including at Keuka College. This year's signature series event is called Dreams into Nectar." (more…)
Just like the many wines sampled, senior marketing major Jennifer O'Donnell got a taste of France itself on an independent tour of the country during January.
O'Donnell conducted her final Field Period—the 140-hour real-world investment Keuka students make in career, world and life exploration – overseas and visited spots such as the World War II battlefield cemeteries at Normandy, the Louvre art museum, Versailles, the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame Cathedral, and the Mediterranean Sea in Cannes.
Hosted by her great-uncle, who holds triple citizenship in America, France and Ireland and his wife, a French native, O'Donnell said her goal was simply to experience the country, especially its food and wine, during her time there. At the suggestion of her faculty adviser, she also observed how the French market and sell their wines.
While O'Donnell's relatives did not take her on tours of French wineries, each day they would visit a different café for lunch and try a different wine with the meal, she said. The 21-year-old was introduced to a sparkling red wine, Lambrusco, as well as a specialty wine, Kir, to which flavored syrups can be added, such as blackberry or cassis.
The country also has a strong tradition in the culinary arts.
And while the French eat lots of fish, pasta and chicken, O'Donnell said she noticed that "they're very health-conscious and there are almost no fried foods at all. I had some fries, but they had no salt on them—they tasted very plain. It is just very different [cuisine]." (more…)
She may be just 19, but sophomore Mackenzie Green already has her eye on a career in the wine industry.
The Rushville resident spent January conducting a Field Period internship with the New York Wine & Grape Foundation, a non-profit agency that advocates for New York grape growers, wine-makers, and wineries of all sizes. The foundation offices are housed in the New York Wine & Culinary Center in Canandaigua, and its "Uncork New York!" motto is becoming familiar to wine-lovers statewide.
"I know a lot about wine production and grape-growing because of my degree in viticulture and wine technology from Finger Lakes Community College (FLCC), so it's interesting to see the other side of it, how to actually market the wine and reach out to customers," said Green, who transferred to Keuka to pursue a bachelor's degree in marketing.
To that end, Green worked primarily with foundation staffers on a new campaign, "New York Drinks New York," promoting Finger Lakes wines to New York City restaurant owners and sommeliers, the credentialed wine experts at restaurants or winery tasting rooms who manage the wine inventory and recommend food and wine pairings. (more…)
Over his many years in theatrical directing, Mark Wenderlich has some experience in taking on new roles.
His latest – as the new executive director of Habitat for Humanity of Ontario County – adds another dimension to a career of service in a variety of "hands-on" positions.
According to Wenderlich, he first got involved with Habitat about 16 years ago, volunteering to build one of the organization's homes. The organization's ability to meet tangible needs in a concrete way appealed to him, he said.
"I was looking for a way to give back and doing something with my hands was appealing to me," he said.
When he got to the house, he was put to work putting a lock on a door, and by day's end, he was helping to finish the roof.
Then about six months ago, the Canandaigua resident noticed the old racquetball club property on County Road 10 had been revived as something called the "ReStore." Curious, he stopped in and found new and gently used appliances, furniture and other home goods selling at prices 50-70% below retail in a building staffed primarily by volunteers. The organization running the venture? Habitat for Humanity.
Chris Cahill plans to graduate from Keuka College in four years use and use his marketing degree to kick-start his career as a singer-songwriter.
And he doesn't plan to let his disability get in the way.
Cahill has Tourette Syndrome, a neurological disorder characterized by repetitive involuntary movements and vocalizations. According to the National Institutes of Health, Tourette Syndrome tics can range from simple anomalies such as repeat blinking, shrugging, grimacing or throat-clearing, to more complex movements or sounds that could include parroted words, phrases or even profanities.
Despite the social trauma this disease can cause, Cahill has been no shrinking violet when it comes to discussing his Tourette Syndrome with fellow students and professors.
"I have talked to all of my professors and a good majority [of my classmates] about it," he said. (more…)
An avid photographer, Fred Hoyle's images have graced at least six Keuka magazine covers, numerous inside features, plus countless flyers, brochures and web site pages promoting the people and programs of the College where he worked since 2005.
But the image of the man himself – passionate about students, the College mission and diverse recreational pursuits – has come into sharp focus in the short time since his passing. Hoyle, associate vice president for admissions at Keuka, lost his 11-month battle against melanoma Oct. 26 at the age of 47.
While his death left the College in mourning, his life and heart have inspired many in the campus community and beyond to celebrate his dedicated service and passionate spirit.
With both bachelor's and master's degrees from Rochester Institute of Technology, Hoyle's expertise and verve in the areas of photography, information technology, telecommunications and interactive media commanded attention when he first interviewed for the web coordinator position at Keuka in 2005. Handwritten notes jotted on his resume indicate he was the first candidate to mention a different look and "read" necessary for web marketing. Indeed, the interweaving of branding, imaging and marketing was Hoyle's specialty.
Making his mark as webmaster, he soon progressed to associate dean of admissions and marketing, then dean, and in 2010 became associate vice president for admissions. He led a team of nearly a dozen admissions counselors and staff in recruiting and welcoming each year's freshman class.
"Fred was one of the smartest hires I ever made," said COO/Executive Vice President Carolanne Marquis. "He exemplified exactly what Keuka College was about. He knew how to lead a team, how to handle the Admissions process in a way that fit the mission of our College. He was adored by every constituent on this campus."
Vice President for Academic Affairs Anne Weed said Hoyle "brought tremendous wisdom, compassion, and dedication to his work with Keuka's students – and took genuine pride in their success."
Chris Austin, a 2008 graduate, conducted a Field Period, the 140-hour yearly internship that is a cornerstone of every Keuka degree, under Hoyle in 2007 and recalled Hoyle's excitement about the potential of social media to engage prospective students. While Austin discovered that Facebook rules then prevented organizations from hosting their own pages, Hoyle never let go of the idea, Austin said. Today, Keuka boasts multiple Facebook pages, including ones for special admissions subgroups, such as incoming student classes, where Hoyle often commented and interacted with students himself.
"I will remember Fred as a visionary," said Austin. "Under his leadership, the reach of the Keuka College marketing initiatives increased its geographic territory which no doubt has helped Keuka grow. Keuka College has lost a profound leader that helped make [it] what it is today."
In a written commentary, Joseph Burke, president emeritus of Keuka, said Hoyle embodied the Keuka spirit, even encouraging Burke to stay focused on the students when Burke would phone Hoyle at home during recovery from treatments.
"He was the epitome of a true Keukonian. He was passionate about everything," Burke said, naming the quality of the school's educational program, its mission and student welfare as just a few examples. "Fred mixed his passion with an uncanny ability to inspire the very best in those around him."
Hoyle was especially devoted to students, and relished helping them, recommending scholarships and hearing their stories, said Keuka Webmaster Pete Bekisz, who worked under Hoyle for five years.
"When he'd talk to families, Fred made them feel like the most important people in the world. That's something not a lot of people know how to do," Bekisz said. Referencing the numerous student memories shared online, as well as on posters placed in the campus dining hall, he added: "There's a lot of students who would say that what [Fred] might have considered a small conversation really changed their life, and that's just the kind of person that he was."
Other passions of Hoyle's included car racing – particularly at nearby Watkins Glen – and competitive cycling. Hoyle finished fifth in the 55-mile master's division (ages 35-44) cycling race in the 2006 Empire State Games, hosted in the Rochester region. He later bested that with a bronze medal finish in the 2008 Games. For pleasure, Hoyle often cycled the 40-mile round trip between his Middlesex home and campus.
Fine wines – particularly French ones – and gourmet foods were another pursuit. Hoyle's recipes, photography and travel adventures with his wife, Pam, would often be featured on his blog, www.afoodexperience.net.
On campus, Hoyle started a unique marketing initiative: a summer barbecue for prospective students and their high school counselors where Hoyle himself would grill the hamburgers and hots.
"He was a fantastic chef. He made some of the best-tasting things I'd ever had, and there wasn't a food dilemma he couldn't fix," recalled Bekisz, who shared Hoyle's culinary interests. "He had specific, quirky interests with food. He'd travel miles on end for a good cut of beef."
He also enjoyed bird-watching, animals, jazz music and what Hoyle called the technological "art" of Apple products, Bekisz recalled.
Residence directors Tim White and Eugene Mont named Hoyle an executive producer in their campus film, The Curse of Ball Hall, which will debut at the College Halloween night. White described how Hoyle went out of his way to support the project, lending the two a video camera to film scenes and suggesting a variety of marketing strategies to pique interest from the student body.
"He was excited from the word 'Go,' – and [shared] how we could tailor it into an Admissions piece to recruit and retain students," White said, adding that he and Mont are now dedicating the film to Hoyle's memory.
"Fred's enthusiasm was contagious, whether it be about cycling, food, wine or photography," said Lynn Lannon, a 1969 Keuka graduate and member of the Board of Trustees. "And then there was his enthusiasm for and commitment to Keuka. He was an amazing ambassador, committed and passionate … We have lost a wonderful human being, a wonderful Keukonian."
Condolences from students, former colleagues, and countless friends have poured into the College from all corners for Hoyle and a scholarship has been established in his honor. Contributions to the Fred L. Hoyle Endowed Scholarship for incoming Keuka College students may be directed to: the Division of College Advancement, Keuka College, P.O. Box 98, Keuka Park, N.Y. 14478.

As this month's winner, Kennedy will receive $1,000 from Alfa Insurance, and her school, Phillips Preparatory School in Mobile, will receive a matching award from the Alabama Farmers Federation.
Kennedy, a French teacher, graduated from the University of Alabama with a bachelor's degree, and later earned a master's degree from the University of South Alabama. Her philosophy of high expectations applies not only to her students but also to herself, which is the reason Kennedy is currently pursuing a doctorate degree.
Kennedy makes an effort to establish positive relationships both inside and outside of the classroom. "I learn about my students' interests, and whenever possible, I attend activities in which they are involved," she says. "Additionally, I strive to help students establish a positive relationship with the material."
The students in her classroom have the opportunity to visit with native French speakers, eat French food, and celebrate French holidays.
Kennedy has received numerous teaching awards, but it is not these honors that she values the most. "Teaching is one of the few professions that allows one to truly touch the life of another, and for me, seeing the positive impact I have made on my students' lives is the greatest award imaginable," says Kennedy.
Brenda Hartzog, principal of Phillips Preparatory School in Mobile, recalls how Kennedy, knowing she would be absent, once prepared a PowerPoint lesson for her substitute.
"As I observed the class, one student commented to another, 'That's just like Mrs. Kennedy. It's like she's still in this room with us. She never left us.' This is an example of Mrs. Kennedy's true commitment to her students' learning," said Hartzog.
During 2006, Alfa Insurance and the Alabama Farmers Federation will honor one outstanding teacher from each of Alabama's eight state school board districts, as well as two principals and two private school teachers. Application information is available under Alfa Teacher of the Month in the Ag Links section of www.AlfaFarmers.org.

Cracking Down on Spam
This is similar to the edict put in place by TDZ a while back. Unfortunately, he was unable to stick around to enforce it and pretty much gave up on the Battlegrounds a while back.
Since IWD is essentially MIA, although I have gotten word from him, we're low on active mods. Discussion between people in the Burrow consist of Frosty, Uchiha Sora, and I, mostly. :lol:
Just letting you all know that I'm giving you three chances. I've marked multiple people's usernotes already. I'm going to use the tried and true three strike method.
I'm seeing more and more stupid pictures and YouTube videos everyday, which needs to stop, to some extend at least. I would like to see some constructive discussion then a funny video to emphasize your point, but when I see just a video, with not even a reason why it's there, it makes me think that this place is slowly degenerating to the likes of Off-Topic discussion, which is meant for the Off-Topic section.
Feel free to discuss this edict with me in the BG discussion threads, PM, VM, or even make a thread.
Re: Cracking Down on Spam
more damaging then silly image macros that mock stupid posts are the stupid posts themselves
rest assured though it may look like I am inactive I am here and actively prowling the yard..and those of you who make useless asinine and completely biased posts..consider yourself warned- that type of spamming will absolutely not be tolerated and I am going to come for you and bring the hammer of god down on you when ever you do..
this is you're only notice.. contribute or be treated as a troll

U.S. surges into lead at inaugural World Team Trophy
Staff writer
The United States took the lead on the first day of the inaugural six-nation World Team Trophy on Thursday with strong efforts from world champion Evan Lysacek and ice dancers Tanith Belbin and Ben Agosto at Tokyo's Yoyogi National Gymnasium.
The American team was in first place in the three-day event with 48 points, while Japan stands second at 43. Canada is third with 39.
Lysacek looked in top form, opening with a superb triple axel, and following that up with a triple lutz/triple toe loop combination, in a strong showing. Lysacek was rewarded with a season-best total of 83.70 for his efforts, which placed him second behind France's Brian Joubert.
Lysacek felt he was not at his best after the journey from his base in Los Angeles.
"I was maybe missing a little bit of spark that I would have had in my own time zone," he said.
Mao Asada was the top-scorer in ladies singles with 75.84, which gave her a commanding lead over world silver medalist Joannie Rochette of Canada (62.08).
Mao, the 2008 world champion, opened with a triple axel/double toe loop combo, had a beautiful spiral sequence, and no other major flaws.
"I'm happy with my performance," Mao said. "It's the last competition (this season) and I was able to have a higher level in the short. It's wonderful."
Miki Ando, who took the bronze at worlds, stands third with the same score at 62.08.
Ando began with a triple lutz/triple loop combo, but was downgraded for the latter jump.
Joubert, the 2007 world champion, had an auspicious beginning to his short program, landing a quadruple toe loop/triple toe loop combination jump, but had trouble with the subsequent triple axel, touching the ice with his hand on the landing.
Despite the miscue, Joubert (85.39) was in first place based on the strength of his combo jump.
"As far as the choreography and the skating go, this was my best short program," said Joubert.
Nobunari Oda, who finished seventh at the recent world championships, landed a triple toe loop at the outset of his routine, skated clean the rest of the way and is in third place at 79.35.
Oda had been scheduled to open with a quadruple toe loop, but changed his plan prior to taking the ice.
"I wasn't confident enough to try the quad today," he said. "I didn't do well at the morning practice. . . . My second combination jump was a little tilted. As the team captain, I really wanted to do well."
Takahiko Kozuka, who was sixth at the worlds, had a calamitous outing, singling a planned triple axel, and then falling coming out of a triple loop. He is in 10th place at 65.25, which had a major impact on Japan's tally for the evening.
Belbin and Agosto (64.27) are first in original dance, ahead of Canada's Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir (60.98).

#38: Sergio Ramos, SPA
It would be easy to conclude that Ramos' accidental dropping of the 2010-11 Copa del Rey from atop an open double-decker bus, only for it to be run over by said bus, is the perfect metaphor for the long-maned man -- a boorish act by a brutish player. But that would overlook the skill hiding beneath the brawn of the hard-as-nails central defender (for Real Madrid) and right back (for Spain).
Consider that for no other Spanish teenager, of all the wonderful prospects the Iberian nation has produced, was such a large transfer sum paid -- some $35 million -- as Real did for Ramos, a defender, no less, seven years ago.
Ramos, 26, is most of all a precise tackler, a one-man aerial defense system, a shrewd man-marker and, when given the chance, quite a handful in the opponent's half, too. Require more evidence of his understated brilliance? Of all the players to appear at the 2010 World Cup, Ramos, who lifted the trophy with Spain, was deemed the most valuable by the Castrol Performance Index.
Expert's take: "He may not be the most reliable at defending, but Ramos makes up for it with his versatility and ability to score goals, especially with his head." -- Ravi Ubha
Stats That Matter:
• 84 caps with the Spanish national team since debuting at age 18
• Second on Real Madrid with 72 successful tackles in league play in 2011-12
• Led Real Madrid and was second in La Liga with 114 successful clearances in 2011-12
• Second on Real Madrid with 1,791 passes completed in La Liga in 2011-12
• Has scored six goals with the national team, most by a defender

If you think about how your job and your health are connected, the first thing that may come to mind is stress. For many workers, there's another connection they may have never thought about. And it's one that may mean the difference between getting hired or even keeping a job.
Does your lifestyle or general physical health have an impact on whether you get hired or fired? For some they do. But is it legal? Maybe, maybe not.
A chef in New York became a diabetic after an operation on his pancreas. He says his employer fired him because his medical condition raised the insurance premiums for everyone.
The chef filed a lawsuit against the employer. He claims he was fired because of his medical condition, in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
He may have a good case, too. He claims:
If true, the employer may be liable for the $6 million in damages the chef is asking for.
That's not to say diabetes and other medical conditions can't be taken into account by your employer. For instance, it's not uncommon - or illegal, in most cases - for employers to refuse to hire delivery drivers who suffer from diabetes. Diabetes can affect a person's ability to drive safely.
In over-simplified terms, the key here is: Does the medical condition make it impossible or unsafe for you to do the job? If so, it may not be discrimination if you're not hired or fired.
Smokers in Massachusetts and elsewhere better read the classified ads and job postings carefully. Rising health care costs, among other things, are leading many employers to refuse to hire people who smoke.
As a general rule, it's legal, too. Smoking isn't a "disability" under the ADA, so workers have no protection there. However, some states do have laws that make it illegal to fire or refuse to hire someone simply because she smokes.
In other states, general privacy laws may make it illegal to fire/refuse to hire someone who smokes away from work, like at home.
Employers and employees alike should keep some things in mind when it comes to health and lifestyles and work-related matters:
It's not always easy to juggle medical, lifestyle, and health issues, and there's a lot at stake for workers and employers. Knowing your rights and responsibilities helps to protect everyone's interests.

As a avid Poli user, I explained not only once, but twice to the online team how I registered my brother's card to claim the $10 card registration bonus, they assured me it would all still go ahead under my account. I waited and i checked and i waited and i checked, 3 times I asked for conformation it was still going ahead and kept getting " within the next 2hours" finally after 1 and a half hours of waiting and checking, i aske again. Finally got someone that told me it wouldn't because of credit card being in a different name. Why could I not have been told this initially?? god knows?? come on casino reward casinos and personnel!! lift your game, everything seems to be slow and drawn out!! very disgruntled!!
I am not usually easily drawn to sites that offer downloadable games, and was a bit skeptical at first. But, decided to give it a try, to at least spend free $50 that I got from registering (truth to be told, you can spend them only on slots, but I love slots, so no problem there).
It should be fairly easy, first do check if your country is supported here (no US sadly), and then if there are some special restraints for your country, involving wagering requirements, and then your ready to roll.
They use Microgaming software, with close to 500 different games, so if you like to play something else every single day, you will be hanging to virtual city for a long time.
I spent most of the time with Throne of Egypt slot game, but there are some other really interesting too, some of which I have seen on other sites (like Thunderstruck II). Good news though, they add new games on a regular basis, so no problem that you will get bored.
That casino is cheater casino and they lie without any shame.
I register get bonus and finish wager request ,and ask withdraw not some big money just 70 euro after that i recived 1.st email from risk department read this please:
The Casino reserves the right to withhold any withdrawals and/or confiscate all winnings for irregular play. 'Irregular play' includes but is not limited to any one or more of the following types of play:
1. Placing single bets equal to or in excess of 25% or more of the value of the bonus credited to the account prior to the play-through requirement for that bonus having been met;
2. Using the double-up feature to increase bet values;
3. Even money bets on Sic Bo, Craps and Roulette'
4. Starting a game's feature after the bonus balance used to build up the credits towards the feature has reached 0.
I response on that email that i did not do anything about that and i won to they told me exactly when i broke rule,and they lock my account
After that they send me second email with some other reason :
Our systems have detected that multiple Casino accounts have been created using your PC, email address or personal details.
Therefore, the winnings are void and have been confiscated. Your casino account will remain locked.
But that is not possible i never open before in virtual city account so they lie to do not pay me
I know I can do nothing but plese put notice that this casino is not fair,and that they imagine lies just to do not pay out
this casino cheaters, I made a deposit bonus played a set at the conclusion of $ 100 and then they sent me an email that my account was disabled due to the fact that I lend money to a friend Skrill-Moneybookers, as he did with them depots at this casino
My tenth is the Virtual City Casino. They send me an e-mail for directly my name to invite me them casino with exclusive offers. They wrote if I open an account I able to get fifty dollar free. I clicked to them link and went to them site. I checked the promotions and I nowhere saw to I need to deposit to get it. I created my account and after I logged in I can started the bonus spinning on the fortune wheel. The maximal collectable amount is the fifty euro. I played my free spins and I get twenty dollar from it. The next pop-up window is wrote I need to make an activation deposit to get my bonus credits.
I contacted with the live support. I asked him how much I have to deposit to get the bonus money. Tom told me I have to deposit ten cent to activate the bonus. He told me too I almost can make that deposit with any kind of pay in way. I had a few dollar on my Moneybookers so I deposited ten cent and after it is succeed I get the twenty dollar bonus credit automatically.
I'm began to play with Private Eye slot on fifty cent bets cause I wanted to done with my wager as soon as possible. That slots bonus are tricky and hard to get it. The good thing on it the stop button. It means you can stop the spinning when you want. I get the bonus where I had to pick from the evidences. I had luck and picked all of it and I reached the sixty three dollar. A few hours later I finished my wagering and I had ninety five dollar what I had cash out. I know much from the microgaming casinos. I connected with the support and asked the verifying e-mail address. When I get it I had to send my documents to them for verifying. I'm done with it and when I'm approved and I get my money two days later. They bonus is correct and the support was very helpful and fast with my cases.

Michael Sudduth (M.Phil., D.Phil., University of Oxford) is an analytic philosopher of religion by training, but he developed the heart of an eastern mystic through a unique spiritual journey, which led him from the Christian tradition to the Vaishnava traditions of India and the philosophy of Vedanta.
Dr. Sudduth's specific areas of interest include:
- the concept of God in the eastern and western religious traditions
- arguments for the existence of God (so-called "natural theology")
- the nature of religious experience
- Jungian psychology, especially its relation to eastern and western spiritual practices and concepts of the self
- the philosophy of postmortem survival, with a focus on the concept of survival, philosophy of mind, and the analysis of empirical arguments for life after death
- the relationship between Vaishnavism and Christian mysticism, and Vedanta and Christian philosophy
Michael Sudduth is a professor in the Philosophy Department and coordinator of the Religious Studies Program in the College of Liberal and Creative Arts at San Francisco State University.
