Seahawks' Harvin ruled out for NFC title game
Sportsbooks - Online Sportsbook, Casino & Racebook All RSS Feeds
Renton, WA (.com) - Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Percy Harvin has been ruled out for Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the San Francisco 49ers due to a concussion.
Seattle head coach Pete Carroll confirmed the decision to sit the speedy wideout at a press conference on Friday, saying that Harvin "will not make it through the doctor's protocol and will not be able to go."
Harvin sustained the injury in the second quarter of Seattle's 23-15 wild-card win over New Orleans. He hit his head hard on the turf while attempting to make a touchdown catch and did not return.
It was only Harvin's second game since being acquired by Seattle from the Minnesota Vikings during the offseason. He underwent arthroscopic surgery in August and missed the Seahawks' first 10 contests before facing his former team on Nov. 17. Harvin was then held out for the remainder of the regular season after experiencing swelling and stiffness in his hip.
The fifth-year pro caught three passes for 21 yards prior to exiting Seattle's win over the Saints.

NEW YORK (AP) - The uncle of a teen who disappeared in Aruba in 2005 says he hopes authorities there reopen the case now that the man linked to his niece's disappearance has been arrested in a killing in Peru and is facing extortion charges in Alabama.
Speaking to NBC's "Today" show Friday, Paul Reynolds, the uncle of Natalee Holloway, says the family hopes to see Joran van der Sloot put behind bars.
The Dutch man was detained Thursday after crossing the border from Peru, where authorities say he's the prime suspect in Sunday's killing of 21-year-old Stephany Flores.
The same day he was arrested, van der Sloot was charged in Alabama with trying to extort $250,000 in return for giving the location of Holloway's body. Reynolds called the alleged extortion attempt "a despicable act."

Girls: Is it OK to masturbate?
I was brought up Catholic and they teach that if you masturbate you go to hell. Is it OK? Is it bad?
What's Your Opinion?
Most Helpful Opinion
Tell them if masterbait is wrong then I don't want to be right.
HELLL yes to that! haha
What Guys Said 3
Dr. James Dobson of Focus on the Family said, "It is my opinion that masturbation is not much of an issue with God." (Preparing for Adolescence, Dr. James Dobson, p.83). link Here is a really good article that presents a wide range of views and biblical references on "Is Masturbation a sin?" and ultimately comes to the conclusion that "the Bible never says or implies or hints that masturbation is a sin" link That all said, I think that as long as it isn't messing up any of your relationships and you aren't using porn to get off, don't worry about it. My experience with the Catholic church was that they expected you to take their doctrine at their word while the Protestant churches ask you to read your bible and pray to figure it out.
It's fine. It just feels really good.Let's be hypothetical being I don't believe in god. Would god really not accept into heaven people who masturbate? I have a feeling god would be very lonely in heaven if he did that. LOL
Im sorry to inform you that neither does hell exist or anything in the bible to forbid the act of mastrubation, if you don't belive me try find even 1 verse that clearly states this.Mastrubation is completly natural and all creatures both male and female does including humans so its nothing shamefull about it actually. If you want to mastrubate sure, its up to you and only you.
What Girls Said 2
Yes it is ok your just experimenting
This oddly turns me on!
If you go by the bibles standards, then no. but, since it' really a minor sin, I wouldn't worry about it. They just don't want you doing it because then you will want sex. But it's natural and as long as it doesn't take up your life, it's good.

Easier - Jaunty (Original)
Jaunty: youtube. tumblr. facebook.
Jai Rolla. Killa Kells. Ashley A-Dubbs Wylde. MCNZ.
Failed at what I started
Then just went home to sleep it off
'Cause sleeping kids don't have to speakAbout why they went and fucked it up
I had a smile on my face
When you walked out my front door
Cause emotion is hard to come by
When you can't feel it anymore
I'm happy that you're happy
At least that's what I think is fair
Couldn't explain it anyway
Cause I don't know, and I don't care
So fuck it
That's all I'm gonna say
Just forget it
It doesn't matter anyway
And It's nothing personal
No, It's nothing personal
It's just easier to live this way
Easier to live this way
I tried to make it work
But it just wasn't workin' out
'Cause I know what I'm feeling,
But I just can't let it out
'Cause standing on the edge is scar
When you're hanging by a threa
And somehow I've gotten lost
Just running around my head
Easier to live this wayyyy
Just put it all away
And enjoy the simplicity
'Cause it's probably not here to stay

FX Orders Vampire Pilot THE STRAIN, To Be Co-Written And Directed By Guillermo del Toro!!
FX has greenlit a pilot for a series based on "The Strain" series of vampire novels co-written by filmmaker Guillermo del Toro ("Hellboy") and Chuck Hogan.
Del Toro will direct the pilot from a teleplay by del Toro and Hogan.
Carlton Cuse, already hard at work overseeing USA's upcoming "Pyscho" prequel series "Bates Hotel," is producing and will serve as "Strain" showrunner should it go to series.
The novels follow scientists working to combat a swarm of hungry vampires that are feasting on humanity.
Del Toro envisions the first two books, "The Strain" and "The Fall," will likely form the series first two seasons, while "The Night Eternal," the final book in the trilogy, could be split into seasons three and four.
Del Toro has also long been developing an ABC series based on Marvel's Hulk.

I'm kind of tired of vampires and zombies too, but to be fair the entire monster pyramid (aliens, killer robots, vampires, zombies, giant mutated animals, werewolves, and demons) is pretty much all we've got until someone decides that centaurs are in or something. Or maybe Cthulhu, though he/it might qualify in some circles as a demon...

I'm all in favor of fresh ideas no matter what genre they are, but at this point it will be tough sledding for any new vampire/zombie properties to really distinguish themselves for me. This tide needs to go out so it can come back in with fresh ideas to a hungry audience in a few years.

by Thurston_one
About this being made..."FX has greelit the pilot" pretty much says it's getting made. I also read and enjoyed the first two, have yet to get the third but I suspect this could be some very fun t.v., it lays out nicely for season-long arcs, has a few good characters, some good monsters. It is probably a lot more in line with Walking Dead than I Am Legend, although the head monsters have a lot more intelligence going than what you find in either of those franchises. Looking forward to seeing what they do.

Mind you, I've only read the first book, but that's because after doing so I just never had any real desire to read the others whatsoever. Maybe they're better, maybe not, I just couldn't amp myself up to care to be honest after slogging through to the end of the first one. It's just so damn dirivative of a dozen better books and stories with nothing new to say or show, and no particular great style of its own to pull you through. Or that's my take anyhow. Could it work as a tv show? Sure. Do I care. Right now, not so much.
Sept. 21, 2012, 1:47 p.m. CST
The Passage>The Strain
by drewlicious
There area quite a few similarities but the "The Strain" was published first. "The Passage" was just a better book all around. That doesn't mean I didn't enjoy the former. I did, despite the occasional corny eye-rolling sentence. I still enjoyed the old vampire hunter and all the crazy little bits of information about New York City's tunnel system. The tv series could compensate the books weaknesses with stronger characters and a more immediate sense of panic. They may want to tinker with the intro, though. "Fringe" already did it in their pilot.
Sept. 21, 2012, 1:58 p.m. CST
Stopped after the first book...
by Marshal_Lannes
It was an ok read but terribly derivative in the worst ways. Now, I'd get on the bandwagon in a heartbeat for a mini-series on HBO for 'The Passage.'

KNOXVILLE (WATE) - One person was taken to the hospital Tuesday evening after being shot, and Knoxville police are now searching for the shooting suspect.
The Knoxville Police Department responded to a shooting call at 8:30 p.m. at Ridgebrook Apartments, which are located on the 2200 block of Ridgebrook Lane.
Officers found a male victim with a gunshot wound in the parking lot. His injuries appeared to be non-life threatening.
The victim was transported to University of Tennessee Medical Center via Rural/Metro.
Witnesses told police the suspect was between 5-feet-8-inches to 5-feet-10-inches tall, weighed about 160 pounds, and was wearing dark clothing.
Investigators are working to confirm the victim's identity.
One person was taken into custody at the scene who was found to have unrelated outstanding warrants on file.
Anyone with information is urged to call police at 865-215-7212.

According to NASA.gov: The 2012 Quadrantids, a little-known meteor shower named after an extinct constellation, will present an excellent chance for hardy souls to start the year off with some late-night meteor watching. Peaking in the wee morning hours of Jan. 4, the Quadrantids have a maximum rate of about 100 per hour, varying between 60-200. The waxing gibbous moon will set around 3 a.m. local time, leaving about two hours of excellent meteor observing before dawn. It's a good thing, too, because unlike the more famous Perseid and Geminid meteor showers, the Quadrantids only last a few hours — it's the morning of Jan. 4, or nothing. I so want to see this tonight but don't want to drive the two+ hours out of NYC just to escape the light pollution. Instead I'll probably just stare at NASA's live Ustream embed on their page. meteormeteor showerQuadrantidNASAspaceastronomythings to do tonightPosted January 4, 2012 44 notes

We're entering day two of the New York transit strike. Well, you guys are, I'm still in Florida.
Still, millions of New Yorkers are forced to walk while the Transport Workers Union continues to strike despite the $1 million in fines they're receiving daily for fining. Apparently, there's laws barring public employees from striking.
While millions of New Yorkers may be forced to walk, those lucky Segway owners are still cruising in to work at 12 mph.
Those of you who laughed at Peter Shankman, CEO of The Geek Factory, when he bought his in April of 2003 did not have the last laugh. I'd say Peter Shankman had the last laugh.

Volatility Regimes in Macroeconomic Time Series: The Case of the Visegrad Group
AbstractThe authors analyze several monthly and quarterly macroeconomic time series for the Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, and Slovakia. These countries embarked on an economic transition in the early 1990s which ultimately led to their membership in the European Union, with Slovakia joining the euro area in 2009. It is natural to assume that changes of such a magnitude should also influence the major macroeconomic indicators. The authors explore the characteristics of these series by endogenously identifying their volatility regimes. In the course of their analysis, they show the difficulties in the handling of unit roots as a necessary step preceding volatility modeling. The final set of breaks identified shows very few changes near the beginning of the series, which corresponds to the transition period.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
|The examples and perspective in this article deal primarily with the United States and do not represent a worldwide view of the subject. (December 2010)
Refractive eye surgery is any eye surgery used to improve the refractive state of the eye and decrease or eliminate dependency on glasses or contact lenses. This can include various methods of surgical remodeling of the cornea or cataract surgery. The most common methods today use excimer lasers to reshape the curvature of the cornea. Successful refractive eye surgery can reduce or cure common vision disorders such as myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism, as well as degenerative disorders like keratoconus.
|This section needs additional citations for verification. (October 2009)
The first theoretical work on the potential of refractive surgery was published in 1896 by Lendeer Jans Lans, an ophthalmology teacher in the Netherlands. He proposed a method for correcting astigmatism by making a series of penetrating cuts into the cornea. In 1930, the Japanese ophthalmologist Tsutomu Sato made the first attempts at performing this kind of surgery, hoping to correct the vision of military pilots. His approach was to make radial cuts in the cornea, correcting effects by up to 6 diopters. The procedure unfortunately produced a high rate of corneal degeneration, however, and was soon rejected by the medical community.
The first proficient refractive surgery technique was developed in the Barraquer ophthalmologic clinic (Bogotá, Colombia), in 1963, by Jose Barraquer. His technique, called keratomileusis, meaning corneal reshaping (from Greek κέρας (kéras: horn) and σμίλευσις (smileusis: carving)), enabled the correction, not only of myopia, but also of hyperopia. It involved removing a corneal layer, freezing it so that it could be manually sculpted into the required shape, and finally reimplanting the reshaped layer into the eye. Although this early form of refractive surgery (keratomileusis with freezing) was improved in 1986 by Dr. Swinger (keratomileusis without freezing)[citation needed], it remained a relatively imprecise technique.
Meanwhile, experiments in 1970 using a xenon dimer and in 1975 using noble gas halides resulted in the invention of a type of laser called an excimer laser. While excimer lasers were initially used for industrial purposes, in 1980, R. Srinivasan, a scientist of IBM who was using an excimer laser to make microscopic circuits in microchips for informatics equipment, discovered that the excimer could also be used to cut organic tissues with high accuracy without significant thermal damage. The discovery of an effective biological cutting laser, along with the development of computers to control it, enabled the development of new refractive surgery techniques.
In the 1970's a refractive procedure called Radial Keratotomy (RK) was developed in Russia and later introduced to the USA. RK involved making a number of cuts in the cornea to change its shape and correct refractive errors. Following the introduction of RK, doctors routinely corrected nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism using various applications of incisions on the cornea.
In 1983, Stephen Trokel, a scientist at Columbia University, in collaboration with Srinivasan, performed the first Photorefractive Keratectomy (PRK), or keratomileusis in situ (without separation of corneal layer) in Germany. The first patent for this approach, which later became known as LASIK surgery, was granted by the US Patent Office to Gholam Ali. Peyman, MD on June 20, 1989 (US Patent #4,840,175, "METHOD FOR MODIFYING CORNEAL CURVATURE"). It involves cutting a flap in the cornea and pulling it back to expose the corneal bed, then using an excimer laser to ablate the exposed surface to the desired shape, and then replacing the flap. The name "LASIK" was coined in 1991 by Creta University and the Vardinoyannion Eye.
The patents related to so-called broad-beam LASIK and PRK technologies were granted to US companies including Visx and Summit during 1990-1995 based on the fundamental US patent issued to IBM (1983) which claimed the use of UV laser for the ablation of organic tissues. In 1991, J.T. Lin, Ph.D.(a Chinese Physicist) was granted a US patent (US Patent #5,520,679) for a new technology using a flying-spot for customized LASIK currently used worldwide. The first US patent (in 1993) using an eye-tracking device to prevent decentration in LASIK procedures was granted to another Chinese Physicist, Dr. S. Lai.
Excimer laser ablation is done under a partial-thickness lamellar corneal flap.
The excimer laser is used to ablate the most anterior portion of the corneal stroma. These procedures do not require a partial thickness cut into the stroma. Surface ablation methods differ only in the way the epithelial layer is handled.
Using mid-IR and UV lasers for the treatment of presbyopia by scleral tissue ablation was first proposed and patented by J.T. Lin, Ph.D in US patents #6,258,082 (in 2001)and #6,824,540 (in 2004).
Research conducted by the Magill Research Center for Vision Correction, Medical University of South Carolina, showed that the overall patient satisfaction rate after primary LASIK surgery was 95.4%. They further differentiated between myopic LASIK (95.3%) and hyperopic LASIK (96.3%). They concluded that the vast majority (95.4%) of patients were satisfied with their outcome after LASIK surgery.[9]
Ophthalmologists use various approaches to analyze the results of refractive surgery, and alter their techniques to provide better results in the future.[10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] Some of these approaches are programmed into the devices ophthalmologists use to measure the refraction of the eye and the shape of the cornea, such as corneal topography.[19]
While refractive surgery is becoming more affordable and safe, it may not be recommended for everybody. People with certain eye diseases involving the cornea or retina, pregnant women, and patients who have medical conditions such as glaucoma, diabetes, uncontrolled vascular disease, or autoimmune disease are not good candidates for refractive surgery. Keratoconus, a progressive thinning of the cornea, is a common corneal disorder. Keratoconus occurring after refractive surgery is called Corneal Ectasia. It is believed that additional thinning of the cornea via refractive surgery may contribute to advancement of the disease[20] that may lead to the need for a corneal transplant. Therefore, keratoconus is a contraindication to refractive surgery. Corneal topography and pachymetry are used to screen for abnormal corneas. Furthermore, some people's eye shape may not permit effective refractive surgery without removing excessive amounts of corneal tissue. Those considering laser eye surgery should have a full eye examination.
Although the risk of complications is decreasing compared to the early days of refractive surgery,[21] there is still a small chance for serious problems. These include vision problems such as ghosting, halos, starbursts, double-vision, and dry-eye syndrome.[22] With procedures that create a permanent flap in the cornea (such as LASIK), there is also the possibility of accidental traumatic flap displacement years after the surgery,[23] with potentially disastrous results if not given prompt medical attention.[24]

|Vector Manipulation
Accelerator (To Aru Majutsu No Index) has a vector field that automatically reflects anything it touches.
Power/Ability to:
Redirect matter and energy
Power to redirect matter and energy either through direct or indirect contact. Sub-power of Physics Manipulation, variation of Velocity Manipulation.
Also Called
- Direction Manipulation
- Redirection/Reflection
- Refraction Manipulation
- Regokinesis
The user can change the magnitude and direction (vector) of an object to maneuver it in the desired way, regardless of pre-existing vectors. This also applies to static or non-moving objects, technicaly speaking, the object still has momentum as it is moving through space. Since nearly everything in existence has vectors, manipulation of them can essentially grant the user an "Absolute Defense" that prevents the user from harm, among many other possibilities.
- Absolute Constant Velocity
- Absolute Defense
- Acceleration
- Deflection
- Flight by canceling the vectors of gravity or by using wind vectors as self-propulsion.
- Gravity Manipulation
- Kinetic Energy Manipulation
- Inertia Negation
- Invisibility by manipulating light and water reflections.
- Power Reflection
- Sound Manipulation
- Tactile Telekinesis
- Velocity Manipulation
- Vibration Emission
- Wind Manipulation
- Plasma Manipulation by redirecting and compressing wind.
- Razor Wind
- Kinetic Energy Manipulation
- Momentum Manipulation
- Quantum Manipulation
- Reflection Manipulation
- Telekinesis
- Trajectory Manipulation
- May require physical contact.
- May be limited to affecting only matter.
- If the user's version of this power is calculation-based, Enhanced Intelligence may be required.
- Vulnerable to powers that don't have vectors.
- Attacks of/from a different dimension (i.e. Spatial Slicing) may bypass the "Ultimate Defense" unless the user can manipulate vectors of different dimensions as well.
- Conceptual Attacks, Magic Attack and Mental Attacks that forgoes vector movement can bypass defense.
- May be vulnerable to Remote Teleportation.
- May be vulnerable to instantaneous attacks.
- Telekinetics/Gravity/Magnetism users of a higher level than the user may be able to overcome the "Ultimate Defense" allowing them to attack the user.
- If the user's ability is automatic and set on deflecting all strikes at all times, the opponent can take advantage by attacking, and then quickly pulling away just before contact. This will have the "reverse vector" to reverse the pulling away, allowing the opponent to punch the user, which in fact can increase the power of the punch, thus bypassing the "absolute defense".
- Users may be limited to controlling certain amount of vectors at a time (e.g can only manipulating gravity vector), and therefore being distracted with one task may leave them open for an attack.
- If User doesn't have Enhanced Endurance, they may be defeated by simply tiring them out.
- If user has no Enhanced Lung Capacity or Oxygen Independence, then they can be defeated by using knock-out gas or Deoxygenation.

Ways you can help the Environment
Create an Eco Challenge:
Involve your office, classroom, sports group, friends or family in an eco-challenge! An eco-challenge is when you set a task of eco-friendly options to complete in a certain time frame. Some eco-challenges include:
Keeping power off, conserve energy
Recycling challenges
Planting trees
Identifying eco hazards and finding solutions for them
Keep it simple and do an eco-challenge for 24 hours or make it a big social event and do it longer with prizes for winning teams!
Check your garbage and see what can be recycled instead. Most communities have recycling depots and some even have curbside pickups. All you have to do is rinse your recyclables clean and put them in the container - now how hard is that?
Here in Airdrie we use Ready Recycling, they come pick up our recycling every week. We pay for the service since the City doesn't yet have a curbside pick up, but it's only $3 a week and really cuts down on our garbage - plus it's great for the environment! When we lived in Calgary and didn't recycle, we threw out approx. 5 bags of garbage a week - (yes, 5!) and now we are down to 1.5 - so just imagine how much recycling can help!
If you find products in non-recyclable material, see if there are other options. If something, say spaghetti, is wrapped in cellophane and there's an alternative brand that comes in a box - choose the box! The box can be recycled, the cellophane can not!
Take out food: one of the biggest concerns is the packaging take out comes in. Try to choose restaurants that offer recyclable packaging. If you really love your restaurant but they don't offer recyclable materials: ask them to change! Don't think they won't, they probably just never thought about it before and every business welcomes feedback from it's customers!
If you can reuse products & containers - go for it! Water bottles are a BIG item today! You can buy a bottled water for a buck and throw it away when done. Even if you recycle it still takes energy to break it down and reuse. The best option for your daily water is the water bottles you can buy in the store (BPA free) and wash after each use!
Ink cartridges are another area you can reuse. You can get ink refills and instead of replacing a cartridge with a new one each time, simply refill it! However, this can also void your warranty so it's understandable if you don't want to reuse an ink cartridge for your machine. Drop your unwanted cartridges off @ Staples or your ink supplier so they can recycle for you!

8 Tips for Building a Great Culture
"A combination of many little things is what makes a culture. And yet, you can't do them once. If you say, 'OK were going to starting have fun, Friday night we're going to have a keg and drink beer.' But if you never do it again, it's going to look disingenuous. It's got to come from the heart .You have to create traditions. We have an annual Gong Show. People look forward to it in a big way. We do these things over and over again."

|The Many Lives of 'Doctor Who'
Now that Matt Smith has taken over the venerable British sci-fi series, we look back at the previous actors who held the prestigious title
By Kurt Geltz
At the beginning of 2010, the world watched "Doctor Who" fall while saving the world from his long-running nemesis, the Master, and the evil manipulations of the Time Lords. His injuries were fatal but he was allowed to say his goodbyes to former companions and friends before meeting his end, leaving fans of the long running sci-fi series to exclaim, "Long live the Doctor!"
Ever since its creation in 1963, "Doctor Who" has found a way to extend the longevity of the program and to deal with what other shows might call the "staffing issue." Producers decided that the Doctor, being a 900-plus-year-old, time-traveling alien, could regenerate anytime he's near death. So far, there have been 11 actors who have played the esteemed Time Lord over the years. David Tennant, an avowed fan himself, announced he was leaving in 2008 and made a series of specials in 2010 to help close out his character's run in the Doctor's time-traveling spaceship, the TARDIS. Viewers who tuned into Tennant's swan song in the holiday special "The End of Time" saw the 10th Doctor regenerate into the 11th, played by a relatively unknown Matt Smith. At the time fans were wondering: Will Smith be a capable replacement for the popular Tennant? Will he be able to live up to the legacy that came before him? Smith had big shoes to fill, not mention the overcoat, the occasional hat and the ridiculously long scarf. The answer, as fans found out, was a resounding "YES" as Matt Smith charmed and delighted with his version of the Doctor. But to fully understand the Doctor and his place in the hallowed halls of sci-fi, we wish to revisit the men who have had "Doctor" in front of their "Who."

It's taboo to admit that you're lonely. You can make jokes about it, of course. You can tell people that you spend most of your time with Netflix or that you haven't left the house today and you might not even go outside tomorrow. Ha ha, funny. But rarely do you ever tell people about the true depths of your loneliness, about how you feel more and more alienated from your friends each passing day and you're not sure how to fix it. It seems like everyone is just better at living than you are.
A part of you knew this was going to happen. Growing up, you just had this feeling that you wouldn't transition well to adult life, that you'd fall right through the cracks. And look at you now. La di da, it's happening.
Your mother, your father, your grandparents: they all look at you like you're some prized jewel and they tell you over and over again just how lucky you are to be young and have your whole life ahead of you. "Getting old ain't for sissies," your father tells you wearily.
You wish they'd stop saying these things to you because all it does is fill you with guilt and panic. All it does is remind you of how much you're not taking advantage of your youth.
You want to kiss all kinds of different people, you want to wake up in a stranger's bed maybe once or twice just to see if it feels good to feel nothing, you want to have a group of friends that feels like a tribe, a bonafide family. You want to go from one place to the next constantly and have your weekends feel like one long epic day. You want to dance to stupid music in your stupid room and have a nice job that doesn't get in the way of living your life too much. You want to be less scared, less anxious, and more willing. Because if you're closed off now, you can only imagine what you'll be like later.
Every day you vow to change some aspect of your life and every day you fail. At this point, you're starting to question your own power as a human being. As of right now, your fears have you beat. They're the ones that are holding your twenties hostage.
Stop thinking that everyone is having more sex than you, that everyone has more friends than you, that everyone out is having more fun than you. Not because it's not true (it might be!) but because that kind of thinking leaves you frozen. You've already spent enough time feeling like you're stuck, like you're watching your life fall through you like a fast dissolve and you're unable to hold on to anything.
I don't know if you ever get better. I don't know if a person can just wake up one day and decide to be an active participant in their life. I'd like to think so. I'd like to think that people get better each and every day but that's not really true. People get worse and it's their stories that end up getting forgotten because we can't stand an unhappy ending. The sick have to get better. Our normalcy depends upon it.
You have to value yourself. You have to want great things for your life. This sort of shit doesn't happen overnight but it can and will happen if you want it.
Do you want it bad enough? Does the fear of being filled with regret in your thirties trump your fear of living today?
We shall see.
|Marilyn Manson (via niallwhoranvevo)
|Brand New
That this halo is decaying my thoughts, my dreams, my everything. Maybe it's time to put my faith into something that has faith in me. No scratch that, its time to pick my self off this broken glass, forget the past. Forget the way I felt about her, the way I loved her. Because its eye for an eye, and in this world with my one eye I will still be king. Don't you dare forget that, nor the lies you told me or everything you broke and lost….
"don't become bitter, you have witnessed great things in humanity. The moment you become bitter, that'd be the moment you lose your greatnesses, and your ability to become a grate man"- JP
I apologize father, but the head that wears the halo is just as heavy as the one that wears the crown…
I'll never be the man you thought or wished I would become …- MA
Love tell me, is there something wrong with me? Something that I can't see.
Cuz I knew your eyes where wondering, but I wasn't quite following.
You said it wasn't ment to be
, but why do you keep calling ?
Some times it feels like I'm drowning at the bottom of the sea. Swimming with me and only me.
But baby you have me on a hook, so when I'm ready for the current to take you bring me back to the surface and lend me some air to breath.
But for you its only catch and release.
Part one : Smart men
Smart men make me sick, A bruise, contusion, a nix. Something is inside me infecting what makes me tick.
For I am an, or was a rational man. Or I like to feel so…
So I'm not afraid of being lonely my whole life. I'm afraid of what comes from it.
To distance the thing I love, With the love of ones self. To lose all pathos. Is what I want most? Cuz I am not a smart man. I know what lies within, crawling in her cold, Soft skin, it looks so beautiful, The way the moon holds her like so.
~A snap of the fingers, I come to, Back to reality. Two on the rocks, the shock, The very thing that makes me rot. STOP! Please just stop! Because I'm spinning and the room needs to catch up…
Up from the floor boards. Up through the ceiling & away from hart.
Christ that God fellow is smart.
Part 2 :Write place, wrong time
Even here I'm too well dressed. Just wish I knew it was a test. Probably then I would have tried to try my best.
But it was the big guy whom my tattoos impressed -he leaned to me and said -you're not complete yet
Part 3 : For old times sake
I wake up kicking and screaming again. Maybe its time to fined new friends.
Part 4 : Here's to you kid
Bed ridden for so long… After a wail you lose track of time of space. Every thing seems taboo, weird, out of place… The hospital is not so hospitable. I need to fined a reason to anchor me here.
Part 5 : Pathology
Through my window, my observations do not forgive me There tiny birds eyeing four worms. Who made it there home right on that perch. ~It was spring… I knew what was to come
But regardless of my cries The three little birds left one little worm, whom was bright blue, the same blue that remained me of her eyes.
After a wail I called this worm mine, it was my best and only friend. One thought we got into a fight… it went into this sorry slump of a phase… I was ready to apologize because after all it is always my fault.
But before I could open my mouth, This winged, colorless, fiend, Crack through the brains of my friend.
If you love something let it go. If it shall return call it yours
-But love is for smart men, not for me.
So fly butterfly fly Ill just sit here and cry. But in time ill get by.
Salt is so hard to clean out of your wounds.
Part 6 : Eulogy
In time I grew old, started acting my age. "Crown of gold, Heart still harder then stone." This time around still alone.
But a smile still spreads across his face.
And in the words of a smart man said "Heaven seems less scary looking through the hands hiding the way."
If love be a band there would be no sour notes. Gentle fingers noting every word that she spoke. Fluttering flutes set the tempo for the butterflies inside. The steady beat of the drums matched that of her heart. The music started faster, I should have known this from the start.
Chimes signaled the death of these violent crimes. Accented, too harshly the trumpets play, There was nothing more to say. Tempo sped to that of one-sixteenth.
Symbols of that of thunder filled me with fears. My body, my soul, my heart, my tears, Were sacrificed to her music loving ears. The band lingers, though it was never there.

Carlson Labs Zinc 15 mg - 250 Tablets
Carlson Labs Zinc provides in each tablet 15 mg of Zinc in an alfalfa base. Carlson Labs Zinc is necessary for the proper functioning of the immune system. Carlson Labs Zinc is an essential mineral that is a component of more than 300 enzymes needed to repair wounds, maintain fertility in adults and growth in children, synthesize protein, help cells reproduce, preserve vision, boost immunity, and protect against free radicals, among other functions. Carlson Labs Zinc tablet color variations may occur. This timed-release formula is prepared to disintegrate over a period of up to 2 hours. Carlson guarantees that this product is free from starch, salt, soy, wheat, gluten and preservatives.
Zinc deficiencies are quite common in people living in poor countries. Phytate, a substance found in unleavened bread (pita, matzos, and some crackers) significantly reduces absorption of zinc, increasing the chance of zinc deficiency. However, phytate-induced deficiency of zinc appears to be a significant problem only for people already consuming marginally low amounts of zinc. Even in developed countries, low-income pregnant women and pregnant teenagers are at risk for marginal zinc deficiencies. Supplementing with 25–30 mg per day improves pregnancy outcome in these groups. People with liver cirrhosis appear to be commonly deficient in zinc. This deficiency may be due to cirrhosis-related zinc malabsorption.
The average diet frequently provides less than the Recommended Dietary Allowance for zinc, particularly in vegetarians. To what extent (if any) these small deficits in zinc intake create clinical problems remains unclear. Nonetheless, a low-potency supplement (15 mg per day) can fill in dietary gaps. Zinc deficiencies are more common in alcoholics and people with sickle cell anemia, malabsorption problems, and chronic kidney disease.
Moderate intake of zinc, approximately 15 mg daily, is adequate to prevent deficiencies. Higher levels (up to 50 mg taken three times per day) are reserved for people with certain health conditions, under the supervision of a doctor. For the alleviation of cold symptoms, lozenges providing 13–25 mg of zinc in the form zinc gluconate, zinc gluconate-glycine, or zinc acetate are generally used frequently but only for several days.
Carlson Labs Excipients
VitaminsVitamins are organic compounds that are necessary for normal growth and maintenance of life. As we are unable to synthesize vitamins, we must rely on foods and food supplements to maintain adequate amounts in our body.
Thirteen essential vitamins have been isolated and these are divided into two categories, water-soluble and fat -soluble vitamins. The water-soluble vitamins include Vitamin C and the group of B-Vitamins. These water-soluble are not stored by the body and can be readily depleted. The fat-soluble vitamins A, D, and E remain in the body for longer periods of time.
MineralsAlthough minerals make up only a small fraction of total body weight (4-5%), they are essential for human metabolism. Minerals act as the catalysts for many biochemical reactions within the human body. They are involved in responses of the nervous system and muscles, the absorption and secretions of the body's fluids, and maintain a delicate water balance within the body. The bones and teeth of our body have high mineral contents which accounts for their hardness and rigidity. Minerals, like vitamins, must also be supplied by dietary means as we are unable to synthesize them in our body.
Major ProductsCarlson Laboratories began with one vitamin E formula. Since then, the line has grown to become the most complete line of natural vitamin E products in the world. Carlson Laboratories product range has expanded through the years to meet the nutritional needs of their customers.

The brilliant, talented, funny and smart MUA Kay Montano has a must read blog http://www.kaymontano.com/2012/01/27/why-fake-your-lashes-when-you-can-grow-them-nadine-baggott/ and I have contributed an article on lash growth serums in case your lashes are in need of a little love
Calling All Beauty Experts!
I spent an afternoon last week at The Princess Alice Hospice in Esher chatting to staff and patients as well as the local papers to try to get more beauty experts to volunteer their time. Why, you might ask, does a hospice need beauty therapists, hairdressers, make-up artists, as well as complimentary and massage specialists? Because there is nothing like being pampered to lift your spirits and make your day.
Look Good Feel Great is a new initiative at the Hospice and so my good friend John Scott and I offered to help raise awareness of the good cause. We joined two beauty therapists from The Beauty Salon in Hinchley Wood, who offered mani and pedis, as well as Keliagh who, as well as working as part of the Day Hospice Team, is also trained as a make-up artist.
But we need more volunteers and so I am putting a call out to all of the beauty companies and their teams, many of whom I know read this blog. It's a great chance for trainee make-up artists to practice and help out, and for trained complimentary therapists, hairdressers and beauty therapists to work with the Day Centre patients many of whom are coming to terms with illness and simply want to ask advice, be pampered and to look and feel better about themselves.
And to the big beauty brands out there, I am sure you could volunteer some trained make-up artists and hairdressers for just a day a month. The look on the patients' faces is worth the time and effort alone.
If you would like to volunteer time, staff or product donations you should call Julian O'Kelly or Keliagh Parsons on 01372 461802. Princess Alice Hospice is a registered charity and with limited NHS assistance over 75% of its funding is raised through voluntary donations and fundraising.
I think this is a wonderful cause. Everyone deserves to feel pampered. Especially during our last days. I love that they applied makeup and fixed hair. Do you know what type of cosmetics were used? Was it colloidal silver products? I hope you are able to find more volunteers for this wonderful cause! Good luck!
Hi NadineGreat article, the patients had an amazing time and really enjoyed the day.Whilst the Hospice does provide care to those within the Weybridge and Walton area the actual building is located in Esher.So any lovely beauty volunteers will have to come to Esher.The Hospice has a huge catchment area which includes Surrey, Middlesex and parts of South West London.The charity provides care to a huge volume of people and expects to care for over 2,600 patients and their families in the next year.Thanks for everything you and John did to support this great initative.RegardsD M HutchingsCommunication OfficerPrincess Alice Hospice.
Nadine, hats off to you!! I have done permanent cosmetics for a cancer patient who couldn't bear the idea of losing her eyebrows. It was so gratifying that I put the word out in my community that I offer my services free of charge for cancer patients. You are doing great work!Cheers,Laura

Like a pit bull, only stupider:
RALEIGH – Following a public records request, the Civitas Institute has published a new report that it says has revealed that the UNC Poverty Center used public resources to host a closed event which was political in nature and appears to have been blatantly partisan, in violation of the state laws on open government. A press release from Civitas goes on to say that "further review of the Poverty Center will likely show that North Carolina taxpayers have been subsidizing political organizing and activism, not higher education.
Tell you what, Francis: I might be willing to concede some of your points, if you and your colleagues had not been completely silent on the worst open government failure of the decade:
With a smattering of creepy nut-jobs to round out the mix:
James O'Keefe, the president of Project Veritas, a non-profit organization dedicated to training video muckrakers nationwide. From student newspaper editors to bloggers to video producers to journalists, enterprising muckrakers across the country look to James for inspiration, advice, and encouragement.
Jeez, I hope not. We already have more than enough sexual harassers exposing women to inappropriate and compromising situations in this country as it is:
Direct from the horse's er...mouth:
"If I had to do it over, I probably wouldn't have released this poll because it allows people … to try to taint all of our polls. If you do as many polls as we do, some of them are going to be bad...I will acknowledge that we ask questions with a bent on our monthly polling," he says. "We're trying to find out when politicians frame things in certain ways how they will be perceived by the general public."
Translated: "When an elected Democrat makes a statement that can be taken out of context and twisted into sounding like something bad, we take advantage of that and put it in front of 600 people at a pop."

I have just purchased a new external portable HDD - Buffalo MiniStation 500GB, USB 2. I am using it on Windows XP Home SP 3. The drive is pre-formatted with FAT32.
I notice that when I delete files, it asks me if I want to send them to a Recycle Bin. Could you please advise why there is a working Recycle Bin on the drive? I had thought that external devices (flash/hard drives etc.) did not utilise the Recycle Bin - it was just for internal drives.
If I format the drive to NTFS, will I still have a working Recycle Bin or not on the drive?

Butterick 5601 in progress
"Do you think it's a mid life crisis?" asked a red top plaintively.
"Who blimming well knows" replied a red scarf glumly. "All I know is that once upon a time it was us red clothes that did it for her. But now we've been ditched for pink. PINK!" The red scarf was so aggrieved by this fact that he would have spat in disgust if he could.
"At least it's quite a ballsy sort of pink" said a red coat that was smug in the knowledge that until Jorth sewed a new one, she at least would be worn again. "I don't think I could have borne it if she went crazy for some wishy-washy pale princess pink." She peeped through the wardrobe door at the dressmakers dummy and asked tentatively "What do you think, Miss Mannequin?"
"What do I think?" asked the dummy with evident pleasure. "All I know is that I'm feeling very Roland Mouret and I like it!"

Hide and Seek by ~Wursu
This is such a beautiful concept. I originally thought, "No, they're emu's." then had an "ohhh" moment.
Artist's Comment:
For conceptart.org's Creature of the Week. The prompt was to design a phoenix of a different element and show various stages of its life cycle. Detail of the chick: [link]
Though this rarely-glimpsed bird superficially resembles a ratite at first glance, it is speculated to be more closely related to Phasianidae. The chick is able to walk and fend for itself within hours of hatching, protected by fuzzy down that looks like dandelion seeds. The plumage of the mature bird is laden with chlorophyll from which the animal seems to draw its energy, though the mechanism behind this ability is still poorly understood. When the bird reaches the end of its life, seeds and spores that have collected in the feathers grow, facilitated by the nutrient-rich mulch that was once the bird's body. After many years, one of these plants will produce a single enormous acorn from which a new phoenix chick will hatch.
