An Econophysics Model for the Migration Phenomena
AbstractKnowing and modelling the migration phenomena and especially the social and economic consequences have a theoretical and practical importance, being related to their consequences for development, economic progress (or as appropriate, regression), environmental influences etc. One of the causes of migration, especially of the interregional and why not intercontinental, is that resources are unevenly distributed, and from the human perspective there are differences in culture, education, mentality, collective aspirations etc. This study proposes a new econophysics model for the migration phenomena.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"The paper quality of this card was great. The color was very vibrant as well. The print on the card could have been a little crisper, but overall a very nice and impressive invitation."
"Great design and quality of paper. Chose this invite in purple and the staff was great about customizing the background of the monogram circle to match the text color. Quick responses with proofs and fast shipping!"
"Our wedding color was orange, and we used many orange floral designs for much of the stationary. For the rehearsal dinner, we used this card with the monogram of my husbands family name, since his family was hosting the rehearsal dinner and the style was a little more masculine. Mother in law loved it."
"These came out beautifully. I had the font changed to black and had the pink design. They were done really quickly and the service was really helpful. The live chat is so helpful!"
"We used the purple color scheme with the "S" for our last name. The quality of the paper was fantastic and very professional. Everyone really liked the cards as well."

Once a month, our banks and credit card issuers send us a statement in the mail (or online) outlining every single item that we spent our money on over the last month. We can see a big list of the checks we wrote, the stores we swiped our card at, the online shops we conducted business with – all in one place.
There was a time when I dreaded seeing these statements. They were evidence of how poorly I was managing my finances. I'd glance at them, try not to think about them, and toss the envelopes into a storage box "to look at later" – meaning "to forget about… or at least try to."
As I began my financial turnaround, these statements turned into a source of pride. I loved seeing my ending balance on my checking account, comparing it to my starting balance, and feeling good about that increase. I loved looking at my credit card statements and seeing the opposite – a lower ending balance than a starting one.
Today, I see those statements as a tool – one that I've turned into a game of sorts. Those statements are among the best helpers I have in keeping my spending in shape and helping me to avoid repeating spending mistakes.
The process is simple.
Whenever I get a statement in the mail – a bank statement or a credit card statement – I walk through it line by line. I try to identify every single item that exists on that statement. What did I buy with this $28.92? What is this $9.96 on here for?
What I'm trying to do is identify all of the purchases I made that gave me little or no lasting value. If I spent money on something that wasn't a life essential and didn't give me lasting value, I probably spent that money for a pretty dumb reason.
I didn't need to spend that $6.42 at the gas station to buy beverages. Why did I do that? Why didn't I just fill up some water bottles or juice bottles before we left?
What on earth did I even buy when I spent $18.92 at Books-A-Million? It was probably a book… but I am not even sure which book I bought. That's a pretty dumb purchase. I could have just checked out a random book at the library and received the same value.
I spent $49.95 to renew that magazine for another two years? I have seven back issues of it sitting on the end table unread! I need to cancel that subscription… and if I can't, I need to set up a reminder to poke me in about twenty months to cancel it then.
The goal of this isn't to beat yourself up. It's to identify the purchasing mistakes you made and think about them so that you don't repeat them.
No one is perfect. We all sometimes buy things that we really didn't need to buy. I'm a sucker for books, for example, as well as board games.
The thing is, I know I'm a big sucker for those things because I constantly bear witness to my spending mistakes. I know to be wary in any situation where I might be buying a book or a board game.
I also know lots of things that I simply shouldn't ever spend my money on. It's a waste of my money to buy gas station beverages when I could just spend two minutes before we leave to fill up some bottles for everyone. It's a waste of my money to ever purchase a Bluray disc, because I'll probably only watch it once and, if that's the case, I can just rent it via Redbox for $1.50.
Seeing those mistakes on that statement provides a simple way to reinforce the good decisions and knock down the bad ones. That way, each statement is a little better than the last one. Over time, they contain more and more decisions I don't regret and fewer and fewer decisions that I lament. That's progress, one little step at a time.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Radiophonic said...
Interesting how nobody solo's Survival. I guess it's an acquired taste.
Before the Explosive Shot nerf, soloing as Survival was tremendously fun.
Now, though, it's eclipsed by MM in both single- and multi-target DPS, and by BM in survivability (and DPS).
Surv needs something to make it a more-fun solo spec again. I'd love to see Explosive Shot brought back to a place where it's exciting to cast.
Chain Trap said...
I do. But then I'm a survivaholic.
Nick S' reply illustrates exactly why I don't play in Beta tests of games that I'm sure I'll want to play in live form (and actually turned down a beta key for wrath for exactly that reason). I love Explosive shot, in its current form, as I've never had anything else to compare it with.
Sure, Survival dps is slightly lacklustre at the moment (but I am still topping the damage meters in current 10-man content). And there's a _lot_ of room for improvement; but it's still big fun, and the ability to chain trap indefinitely is certainly a boon in instance teams as well as solo.
ok, glad im not the only one who's found ES a bit... meh. I really love the tree, and I like the idea of ES, but it seems kinda low on the damage front. I'd love to see some revision of Surv. Maybe they'll doing something with the 41 point talent as they eluded too.

June 20, 2007
Albany -- It's a hot commodity for crooks: copper wire. As the temperatures heat up, Albany Police say thieves continue to burglarize properties in search of any scrap metal they can cash in for a quick buck.
A single fan whirls around in a now hot laundromat on West Gordon Avenue. That's because Wednesday morning, business owner Mary Rivers walked outside to find a shock.
"All the inside of it is gone, took all the lining. They took everything, left me with a hole," said Rivers.
A hole that won't be cheap to fill. Despite surveillance cameras, thieves made their way to the property overnight and peeled back the top of the air-conditioning unit. They were on the prowl for metal.
"They need to stop because it's not right. It's wrong to just take things that don't belong to you," said Rivers.
Rivers isn't alone. As we spoke with her, Albany Police officers spoke with Sammy Sheard just a few steps away. "You feel violated because somebody is taking the time to make it feel like it's theirs," said Sheard.
Sheard owns a few apartments in the area. Police now search for fingerprints after a third hit on his property. "About $6,000 worth of damage counting the other two," said Sheard.
"Unfortunately it is an increasing problem here in Dougherty County," said Lieutenant Benita Childs.
Lieutenant Benita Childs with Albany Police reports about 150 scrap metal thefts so far this year. A high percentage of them are done by those who are homeless, out of work or have some kind of drug dependency.
"Over 85 percent of them have been linked to some type of dependency on drugs such as your crack cocaine," said Childs. Police are working hard to curb copper crimes but there are things property owners can also do.
"You may want to look at your lighting, your bushes whatever it takes so they can't come in your fenced area or your yard and make you a victim of this kind of crime," said Childs.
"Other people just don't realize this is tearing down the neighborhood," said Sheard. Rivers is worried. She also owns a second business and AC unit right next door to her laundromat. She hopes the thieves don't return for seconds.
"I don't feel good about it," said Rivers. It's a feeling she just can't wash away.
Thieves get from $1.50 to about $3.00 a pound for scrap metal or wires. Lt. Childs says they've arrested 16 people so far this year, all males. APD is averaging about two arrests per month. The crimes aren't just done by people in Dougherty County. Police recently arrested a Florida man who came to Albany to commit copper crime.

Smartphone apps driving mobile marketing
AdMob exec explains why advertising in mobile apps, especially on the iPhone and Android, is a smart move
CHICAGO, IL. Smartphone applications are where the money is at for advertisers and brands. It is where mobile ad network AdMob is focusing most of its efforts today, more so than the mobile Web, following an explosion in both smartphone and mobile app usage, Charles Yim, part of the North American business development team for AdMob, told an audience of entrepreneurs, investors and developers at the Mobilex conference in Chicago today.
Industry News
Briefing Room
AdMob, which was acquired by Google in November for $750 million, observed its own network traffic reach a crossover point at the end of 2009 when smartphones traffic surpassed feature phone traffic, Yim said. Now smartphones are experiencing explosive growth in use and mobile ad utilization. At the same time, WiFi usage is driving more mobile app usage, which Yim expects to continue with the introduction of new mobile computing platforms like Android-based computing tablets and Apples iPad, due out on April 3 according to reports today.
Currently, AdMobs network has grown to include 36 million unique iPhone and iPod Touch devices worldwide with half of its traffic in the US. Towards the end of the third quarter of 2009, AdMob saw an explosion in the number of Android devices as well. AdMobs current worldwide iPhone network is about 9,000 individual iPhone apps and iPhone optimized Web sites, but the number is growing quickly every day, Yim said. The Android network is still about half that size. Yim said AdMob is also evaluating other platforms, including RIM, Samsung Bada, Windows 7, Symbian and Ovi going forward.
Now we are seeing a smartphone phenomenon, not just the iPhone, for mobile Web [browsing], Yim said. In AdMobs experience, iPhone users are more likely to regularly download paid apps than Android or WebOS users, but Android users download a greater number of apps than iPhone users, he added.
In addition to banner and video ads, AdMob focuses on burst campaigns on the iPhone in which it uses advertising to drive as many downloads of an app on the iPhone as possible. By doing this, AdMob can drive an app into the top 10 or 25 list of most popular apps and avoid the problem of discoverability amongst 140,000 other app options.
We try to drive a lot of downloads of your applications in addition to your organic traffic by running your app across your network in a very focused pattern and period of time, Yim said, adding that an advertising push gets an ad in front of the consumers who are downloading apps.
Yim pointed to Backflip Studios as an example of an AdMob partner that has been successful integrating mobile advertising into its business model. Paid downloads generated more than $1.25 million in sales as of last November, driven by its advertisements in free versions of the app.
They have achieved a level of success in the iPhone that most start-ups only dream of, Yim said. Brands are also looking towards apps themselves to serve as the marketing vehicle, he added. AdMob calls these campaigns, used by companies like EBay and Target, appvertising.
Following its acquisition by Google, AdMob is becoming a key player in the battle over mobile advertising, dominated today by Google and Apple, through its acquisition of Quattro Wireless, but the success of those two companies is giving credence to the market for mobile ads in general. Overall, worldwide mobile ad spending increased 74% last year to $913.5 million, according to Entrepreneur magazine, as many brands that cut back their ad spend have reallocated their budgets to include mobile, a smart move according to panelists at Mobilex today.
A lot of the more traditional online and media companies are beginning to embrace mobile, Yim said. Its mature enough for them to understand, want to be a part of and spend money on.

Custom Jewelry
Most people believe that designing custom jewelry is more difficult than it truly is. You do not have to be an artist or an extreme jewelry enthusiast to design jewelry. It is much easier than it sounds. Like everything else worth doing in life, designing jewelry requires some basic planning and strategy. When you work with a trained jewelry designer they will help you to organize your thoughts and help you to follow a few basic procedures to help you design jewelry. Thousands of people just like you have been designing personalized jewelry for decades at Jewelry Designs.
We are so confident in our process of designing custom jewelry that we create each custom jewelry item on approval. If you are not 100% satisfied after we design your ring, custom necklaces, or personalized bracelets you have no obligation. You must be completely satisfied with your customized jewelry before you can have it as your own. We are able to offer this guarantee because our jewelry designers have been custom designing and making jewelry along with our original founders since 1980. Each jewelry designer on our staff is able to interpret your personal style and help you to design your own ring, custom necklaces, or personalized jewelry.
How to Design Jewelry
The first step when you design jewelry is to find and develop confidence in your own sense of style. The easiest way to do that is to view a wide variety of designer jewelry similar to what you are looking for. So if you want to design your own rings— look at rings; or if you want a custom necklace— look at necklaces. As you are doing this your jewelry designer may explain various gemstones, methods of stone setting, and elements of design to help you identify gems, patterns, and features that appeal to you. Through looking at and handling the many examples of jewelry design we have on hand you will soon realize the design elements that you dislike and can focus on a jewelry design that motivates you. It will not be long before you are able to categorize designer jewelry and understand the characteristics that you most desire.
Through the process of elimination, a jewelry designer will help you to organize your thoughts and reduce most of the confusion of designing your own necklace, ring, or bracelet. While reviewing models of custom jewelry and looking at loose gems you will gain an understanding of the things you like most in your custom made jewelry design.
Design Your Own Jewelry
You will be fascinated as you learn how to design your own jewelry how quickly you establish strong opinions about styling. Repetitive viewing of similar jewelry design with an experienced jewelry designer will reinforce your convictions and give you confidence in your choices. In the end, you will find out that you were aware of what you liked all along. The process of organizing your thoughts with valid examples will instill confidence in your ability to design your own jewelry.
After you have become a novice jewelry designer you will have a hard time settling for the everyday jewelry that the masses wear. When people marvel at your custom jewelry, they will be fascinated to find out that you design your own jewelry. You can tell them all about your jewelry making experience.
Once you design jewelry for yourself and experience the joy of having custom jewelry you be inspired to custom design jewelry for every occasion. By going through the jewelry designing steps you will realize how easy jewelry making is. When you buy fine designer jewelry you can be the jewelry designer.
Jewelry Making
After you design jewelry, the next step is jewelry making. Jewelry Designs team of master jewelers are up to the task. First our gem sorters will select and grade gemstones and diamonds to be set in your custom jewelry. All of the gemstones, gold, and platinum will be carefully chosen by our project specialists to ensure that your new designer jewelry meets the highest standards.
A team of jewelry artisans will be assigned to creating your jewelry design. The master jewelers on the team will be selected by their specific talents at jewelry designing, model making, diamond setting, and finishing.
Once the jewelry design has been established, the first stage in making jewelry is to create a model. In some cases handmade models are crafted strictly by hand. These models are made from gold or platinum using tools that are manually controlled. Jewelry Models that are made in this way qualify as handmade jewelry.
The most common method of creating a model for your custom jewelry is to design it from jewelers wax. Using jewelers wax, custom necklaces, rings, earrings, and bracelets can be sculpted to the jewelry design you have chosen. Wax Carving is easier than forming solid metal providing the jewelry artisan more flexibility while making your custom jewelry model. After the wax model has been created, your customized jewelry is completed and inspected for accuracy, and it will be encased in a plaster mold. The wax model of your customized jewelry will then be burned from the mold at high temperatures overnight. In the morning the mold will have a hollow of your personalized jewelry. Molten gold or platinum will be forced into the mold using a centrifuge. The mold is then broken away leaving behind the rough, unfinished, platinum or gold model of your cast jewelry design.
The casting of the customized jewelry will be filed, finished, and polished before it is given to a skilled jewelry artisan who will shape and form it at a jewelers' bench. Using gravers, files, a rotary, and jewelers' tools detail and design will be added to your custom jewelry design. Prongs closures and ornamental details will be added with torches and lasers on your new jewelry design.
Jewelry Designers and Jewelers
Our jewelry designers will work with a staff of expert jewelers to create an original custom jewelry item. These master jewelers are experts whose combined experience making jewelry totals over three hundred years. They specialize in the following talents:

Belkin Aircast Review
Hey Folks,
My new M3 has very few options, I was tempted by the tech packages, bluetooth, iPhone integration, etc but in the end I decided that I could just get by with my iPhone and an auxiliary jack.
The first big annoyance in the transition from the E46 to the e92 M3 was the auxiliary jack is in the center console.
In the E46 it was in the glovebox, so I just ran a wire from my iPhone to the glovebox. This was ugly but it worked -- every time.
However the auxiliary jack in the E92 is in the center console. It would be too ugly to run a wire from the dash to the center console.
So, I started looking for a solution. There are several, but I decided to try the Belkin Aircast.
here it is in the Apple Store.
here it is at the belkin website
This thing is slick and couldnt be more simple.
You plug one part into the cigarette lighter outlet in the console then you plug the 3.5mm plug into the auxiliary input.
You pair it with your phone by pressing and holding the giant button.
You switch your car audio over to auxiliary, startup Pandora, etc on your iPhone and BAM, you are listening to music wirelessly.
It also works great for phone calls. I have stopped using my bluetooth headset.
In my opinion, it sounds great and is super convenient.
I recommend it.

Crystal structure of the E. coli ThiM riboswitch in complex with thiamine pyrophosphate and the U1A crystallization module
The thi-box riboswitch regulates gene expression in response to the intracellular concentration of thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP) in archaea, bacteria, and eukarya. To complement previous biochemical, genetic, and structural studies of this phylogenetically widespread RNA domain, we have characterized its interaction with TPP by isothermal titration calorimetry. This shows that TPP binding is highly dependent on Mg(2+) concentration. The dissociation constant decreases from approximately 200 nM at 0.5 mM Mg(2+) concentration to approximately 9 nM at 2.5 mM Mg(2+) concentration. Binding is enthalpically driven, but the unfavorable entropy of binding decreases as Mg(2+) concentration rises, suggesting that divalent cations serve to pre-organize the RNA. Mutagenesis, biochemical analysis, and a new crystal structure of the riboswitch suggest that a critical element that participates in organizing the riboswitch structure is the tertiary interaction formed between the P3 and L5 regions. This tertiary contact is distant from the TPP binding site, but calorimetric analysis reveals that even subtle mutations in L5 can have readily detectable effects on TPP binding. The thermodynamic signatures of these mutations, namely decreased favorable enthalpy of binding and small effects on entropy of binding, are consistent with the P3-L5 association contributing allosterically to TPP-induced compaction of the RNA.

Gass was a rock band[1] formed in May 1965[2] by Robert Tench, Godfrey McLean, and Errol McLean.[2] They were managed by The Active Management Group. The band fused inspired melodies with soul, Latin influences, blues and progressive rock often employing complex rhythms.[3]
The original line up was Tench on bass guitar, percussionist Errol McLean, his brother drummer and vocalist Godfrey McLean, saxophonist Humphrey Oka and guitarist Alan Roskans.[2] Tench soon become the band's vocalist[4] and as their music progressed the line up changed. They performed at fashionable music venues[5] in London's Soho, such as The Flamingo Club,[4] The Scotch of St.James where Eric Burdon sang with them and it was at The Bag O'Nails Jimi Hendrix joined the band for a jam session.[4] Gass became involved with Catch My Soul-Rock Othello produced by Jack Good[6] during 1969.
Their album Juju (1970)[7] featured guitarist Peter Green.[2][8] The band was featured on Catch My Soul (1971),[9] which was recorded with the original cast of the UK stage production of Catch My Soul-Rock Othello.[2] Pete Masden mentions in his book Funk Guitar And Bass, that Godfrey McLean and Tench performed at regular jam sessions with other musicians at Ronnie Scott's club. These sessions led to an embryonic line up for the fusion band Gonzalez.[10] In May 1971 Tench joined The Jeff Beck Group and Gass disbanded.[11] Delisle Harper appeared with Tench on Freddie King's Burglar (1974) also Larger than Life (1975).[12] Tench later moved on to play with The Jeff Beck Group, Hummingbird, Humble Pie, Streetwalkers and Van Morrison, amongst others. Godfrey McLean recorded End of the Game (1970) with Peter Green and appeared with Brian Auger and The Oblivion Express.[13] During 2013 McLean worked as producer with the dance music artist Solem.[citation needed]

Well done! How did you take such a great shot hand held? You skill with the camera is amazing. This also is impressive and interesting with the vapour trail plus the light turning the fuselage green. With all the publicity on the moon landing this is great in showing us what we can see from the planet with the right technology. More to modern day travel..... Lesley Expat KiwiReplyDelete

Trailer, Poster, and Images for THE PURGE Starring Ethan Hawke and Lena Headey
by Matt Goldberg Posted 1 year, 171 days ago
Universal has released the first trailer, poster, and images for The Purge starring Ethan Hawke and Lena Headey. The "speculative thriller" takes place in a world where the government sanctions an annual 12-hour period where everything—including murder—becomes legal. During this madness, a family inside a gated community fights to survive without turning into monsters themselves. Even though I don't quite follow the government's logic on this one, perhaps there's some sociopolitical commentary in the premise. Perhaps the notion behind "the purge" is to let all the bad people kill each other, and then everything will be okay for the "good people" in their gated communities? Also, what purpose do the masks serve if the action is legal? I'm also curious to see how this film will be compared to the summer's other masked-murderers-invade-a-home horror movie, You're Next?
Hit the jump to check out the trailer, poster, and images. The film also stars Adelaide Kane, and Max Burkholder. The Purge opens May 31st.

I love the opportunities for creativity within the design constraints of the new Facebook Timeline Cover. I created a Facebook Timeline Cover photoshop template you can download for free (right-click and choose Save File As). It's a sandbox to play around with design ideas for your Facebook Timeline.
A Timeline Cover has two elements: Your profile photo is the same as before. It's a 125 x 125 square. The Cover is the new edition and has a resolution of 851 × 315.
Facebook Profile Tips
I like to create Facebook Profile photos in photoshop because it's easier to control exactly how that photo will look when it's in that square box. Don't upload a 125×125 image though. Make your profile photo square with a resolution of at least 800 x 800. Facebook will shrink it down, but when your friends and followers click on it, you want them to be able to see a full-sized photo in great resolution. Your profile photo is contained in a white frame that can be used as a design element that you play with in in relation to it's place in front of your Timeline Cover photo.
Timeline Cover Tips
The size of Timeline Cover is 851 x 314. When you upload a cover image, you can adjust it up or down, but not left or right, so if you're using a larger image keep in mind Facebook will use the full width of the photo, but only 314 pixels of it's hight. I was playing with a Timeline Cover design for Geoff Smith's page where he has a very cool profile photo. I put a photo of his daughter holding his baby boy in the Cover space. One photo didn't work because his daughter's face was too far from his son's face. It was an awesome photo, but it didn't work within the constants of the Timeline Cover space. I found another photo that worked great.
The advantage of working out your design in a Photoshop sandbox is that you avoid uploading lots of Cover images to Facebook that you ultimately end up not liking.

UPDATE: I created a simpler template for just working out and saving new Cover art.

Best Basketball Players of All Time « see full list
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
Humble giant, master of all time, takes after his original coach, unforgetable speaker... Spoke about how he learned to be a good man ^^ about life through his coach. Kareem should be number 1 player.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has broken more records than anyone in NBA history he has most minutes played, most points scored in NBA career, most most valuable player wards won then any other NBA player in a career, most fouls in an NBA career I am sure there are much more but I don't know about them Kareem had 6 rings in a 20 year career and he had quite a few rebounds now the mane thing about Kareem was his sky hook yes his sky hook just thinking about the sky hook you probably remember Kareem Abdul-Jabbar winning the game in Magic Johnson's pro debut with a last second sky hook what a player and to add to all that he was 7 foot 2.
How the heck is kareem this low. I bet the other people voting don't know one stinking thing about basketball. There probably just babies listen other people when they say jordan's the best. He is not. How is lebron so high he has only played 7 seasons and has no rings. Not hating on lebron or anything but COME ON! Babies that only know about today's nba and know nothing about it's stinking history. They csll there selves fans!
Kareem was not just the greatest NBA player all time, but he was the best college basketball player of all time. He went to a school where he was the only good player on his team and led them to 4 championships. His statistics were stacked! This guy was impossible to cover. He won championships like crazy (just as many as michael jordan) Lebron, Kobe, Larry, Magic, and Michael are not as good as he was. SO FACE THE FACTS
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was the most unstoppable player ever. He dominated all centers in his entire career. Not one center can guard him or even keep up! He has a smooth, sweet jump shot and with go sky high with a hook right over your head and you can't do anything about it. He scored 38, 387 points. I'd like to see the most overrated player to ever step on a court, Michael Jordan, beat that.
Kareem is the best because of what he done in High School, College & Pro. A lot of people forget that there was basketball being played before Jordan. Jordan is an NBA great, but his college career was average & high school career was the same. Russell & Wilt are second and third and then comes Jordan, Magic & Bird. None of today's NBA talent comes close to these GIANTS!
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is one of the most underrated players in NBA history despite being the all time leader in scoring, having 6 championships (more than Jordan), having the most MVP trophies (more than Jordan), being 3rd in rebounding and 3rd in shot blocking which is amazing because shot blocking wasn't even counted statistically until his 4th year in the NBA it's safe to say if they would've counted it from his rookie year up he might very well be the all time leader in shot blocking, he is never in the conversation of greatest of all time, WHY?!
Kareem is beast he created the hook shot first one in history to do it. No lie MJ is better but not on the block and plus Kareem has the most career points in history of basketball so I have no ide what yall talkin about 8th place is way to high I think he should be in 4th or 5th place.
i was really expecting him to be bit higher, im mean when you have 6 titles and 6 mvps, and are the all-time scoring leader, chances are you'll at least be in the top 6 top 7
Its hard to block the sky hook of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar he is the greatest Center ever He has so many blocks as well as some great assists. That is why He deserves number 1He scored the most points in NBA history!
For most dominating and revolutionary player, it must be "The Captain" himself. Kareem is the one with the revolutionary SKY HOOK that could not be defended as shown by his many many records and rings.
No player represents the 70's and 80's as well as Jabbar. An amazing player. Will always remember is one arm hook shot, known as the Sky Hook, it made history.
He is way better than lebron james are you kidding me? He deserves to be #3 no matter what he has the most points out of anyone in his NBA career. So please next time choose very carefully.
In my opinion Kareem should be at second. Not first though. He wasn't as good as Michael but I think he was the second greatest player to play the game. Kobe and Lebron are good but not quite Kareem. Magic is pretty close though...
#8?!?!?!?!? Holy crap! This guy scored the most points and is the coolest and most unique player ever. He invented the 1 arm hookshot!
How is Kareem number 8? This guy is practically God.
He is and will forever be the boss of basketball.
He is and will forever be the boss of basketball.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar will always be at the top of my list. His accomplishments are unmatched by any basketball player past or present. He silhouette should grace the NBA logo.
The highest scorer in the history of NBA. He should be rated the best player in NBA. It is true that no could stop the sky hook so easily.
Everybody voting for someone else is to young to have ever watched Kareem play, no on has ever scored 100 points in a game like he did, no competition by far the best, just compare stats and then you be the judge
Kareem abdul jabbar is the greatest all around player ever, jordan great scorer, no rebound, when kareen was young 40 points 20 bourds 5 blocks a game easy, no one went inside on him. He did it all. If you had to start a team, start with kareem, then add jordan, bird, so on. He was just the best, he is number one by far. Mr Dman.
Like a good neighbor Kareem is there. He is one of my favorite players. He just kept putting up the hook shot.
So humble, so laid back. Players like Kobe and LeBron should take a leaf out of his book and learn how to be kind to people and behave appropriately. As for his playing side of things, his points say it all. (more than MJ)
The best blocker ever, he is unique in his style an accuracy. What a great player of the sky hook, most points scored in a carrer. Humble and respected player in his career.
Kareem was such a boss. He should be #1 because, well he invented a shot! No one could guard it and he is just a great player and he transformed B-Ball forever.
Kareem beats MJ in so many statistical categories that I's hard to believe he is 7th. Pts, Rebs, Blks, Championships, MVP's, College championships, all-star appearances... You have to look at the numbers.

I'm sure I'm not the first food blogger to make the observation that messy food is delicious.
I actually completely messed this dish up, but I basically just made it messier, which made it better.
The original dish isn't supposed to be quite so creamy. I basically ended up making a queso dip with onions and peppers in it.
Not really a problem in my opinion!
The point is though that this dish is pretty quick to make and has some great flavors going on. You can make it sloppy or not, but it's pretty hard to go wrong.
Rajas Poblanas
- 4-5 large poblanos, roasted
- 1 onion, sliced
- 1 15 ounce can black beans, drained
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 3/4 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup pepper jack cheese
- Pinch of salt
- 8-12 corn tortillas, lightly fried
- Vegetable oil
- Toppings:
- Salsa
- Cheese
- Cilantro
- Avocado
- Hot sauce
1) Roast poblanos over an open flame on grill or gas stove until they are well-charred.
2) Add peppers to a large bowl, cover, and let steam for 10 minutes. Then peel peppers, cut off stems, cut out seeds, and slice thin.
3) Slice onions and add them to a medium pot with a drizzle of oil. Cover over medium heat until they start to soften, about 8 minutes.
4) Add minced garlic and spices to pot. Cook for another few minutes.
5) Add 1 cup of water to the pot and use the liquid to scrape off any stuck bits.
6) Simmer onions and spices until the water completely evaporates, about 8 more minutes.
7) Add drained beans and poblano peppers.
8) Stir in sour cream and cheese and season with salt.
9) To fry tortillas, add a drizzle of oil to a small pan and add a corn tortilla over medium-high heat. Cook for about 20 seconds on side one and then flip. Cook on the second side for about a minute and then flip back. The tortilla should be browned and starting to crisp. Remove it and let it drain on a paper towel. It will continue to crisp as it cools. Repeat with all the tortillas so you have crispy tostadas.
10) Serve poblano mixture over tostadas with toppings!
Recipe adapted from a Bon Appetit recipe.
Onions and Peppers
There is one and only one thing that makes the base for this recipe: roasted poblanos.
You can roast them on the grill over high heat, under your broiler, or just directly on a gas stove.
Roast the crap out of them though. They should be completely charred.
Once they are basically black, stick them in a bowl and cover them so they can steam for about 10 minutes.
Then you should be able to easily rub off the skin. Chop off the stems, remove the seeds, and chop the peppers into long strips.
Maybe eat a strip just like this because they are super-flavorful.
Besides the peppers, there is a good amount of both onion and garlic in this dish.
One whole onion should do the trick along with as many cloves of garlic as you want really. Four is pretty much the minimum.
For the onions, don't worry about dicing them up. Just slice them into strips like the poblanos.
Starting the Rajas
Rajas means "strips" in Spanish which is why the veggies are all cut into strips. You want them to be pretty chunky in the finished dish.
The dish itself is pretty easy to cook, but make sure to give yourself about 30 minutes to make so you can really let the flavors develop.
Add a few tablespoons of oil to a medium pot and add the onions over medium heat.
Let them cook for about eight minutes until they start to soften. Then add the garlic, spices, and about a cup of water. Use the water to scrape up any little bits that are stuck to the pot. The water will also help the flavors mingle.
These are the spices I used for my version. I show you these mainly to show off my new jars that are nicely labeled and organized.
Anyway, return this to the heat and simmer it until the water completely evaporates. It won't take that long, probably another 6-8 minutes.
Then stir in your drained beans and sliced peppers.
The Add-ins
So you want to add some dairy products to the rajas, but I made a major mistake that turned out being delicious. I used table cream instead of sour cream.
You probably want to use sour cream unless you want it to be messy.
Add in the sour cream and cheese and cook everything until the cheese melts. Ideally, you wouldn't have a cheese dip that I ended up with, but strips of onions and peppers laced with some cheese and cream.
This turned out to just be a hot mess.
A delicious mess, don't get me wrong, but a mess.
Season the stuff with some salt and it's ready to eat!
Serving the Rajas
Assuming you made these correctly, the might be sturdy enough to serve in a soft taco, but I like to serve them on crispy tostadas.
You can buy these pre-made, but I also seem to have extra corn tortillas in my fridge so I just made them.
If you want to make them, just fry each tortilla in a bit of oil over medium-high heat. Flip them every 30-60 seconds until they are browned and crispy. Then let them cool and drain on a paper towel before serving.
Serve each tostada with a big serving of the rajas along with whatever toppings you can dream up. I used some avocado, cilantro, and salsa.
Pretty delicious stuff.
I'll be the first to admit that it isn't the prettiest thing I've ever cooked, but man was it good.
Betsy actually called it "restaurant quality". That's not a compliment she throws around lightly!

Amy Winehouse got upstaged one final time -- on her freakin' headstone -- which got us thinking about another high profile death ... that hasn't happened yet.
Check out TMZ on TV -- click here to see your local listings!
Should have gone to rehab
I'm confused. When was she upstaged before? Sure, in the end she was a terrible performer, but I don't remember her every really sharing the stage with someone to be upstaged.
I don't know why idiots want to make heroes out of idiots who ruin the lives of themselves and their loved ones by constantly making horrible selfish choices.
So frigging what, Why the hell don't you let the women RIP. You idiots are so wrapped up in stirring up anything for a ****ing story. No body cares. MOVE ON TMZ.....
At the end of the day! IV yet to meet a ****er who hasn't met or had an addict in the family or friends, so does it matter who the **** you share a grave with? To be honest it would be an honour for me to share a grave with my Nan, ........ and I feel Amy would feel the same!
Damn TMZ and all you other idiots out there. Her Grandmother should be the first name on the stone...Ever heard of RESPECT for elders!!!!! Sometimes I wonder if TMZ or many of it's followers know the meaning of morality and respect.
Seems to me it would be following in tradition and respect to have the elder member of the family named first in a memorial.. Really disrespectful to basically call Amy a loser because of that fact. Have a little class TMZ.
I wonder how many people are dead because they listened to this skank's song and decided not checking into rehab would be the cool thing to do.
Who the F cares? Toss her in a lake or off a mountain. Who gives a shi. Move on TMZ
It's her grandmother, they were probably close. Seems very sweet to me...
Quit trying to start crap, TMZ. Can't you let this poor girl rest in peace?
This must be a Jewish thing.
We Catholics have one name per headstone.
Is it a crypt (more than one in there)?
timmy z make noota a snota of logic at all
She is still stuck in that bottle,that grave stone is a fake

LANSING, MI (WTVB) - New proposals that supporters like State Representative Ken Kurtz of Coldwater say will streamline the adoption process cleared the Michigan House Tuesday and are on their way to the State Senate. The bills would shorten the time some birth parents have to change their mind about adoption and shorten the supervision period for families adopting infants from 6 to 3 months. Kurtz says it eases some of the burdens and hurdles that adopting parents face and assures participants all the way around that children who need homes find them.
The seven bill package passed by wide margins in the house, with only a few dissenting.

Review System
MonsterVine approaches the topic of video game reviews by using what journalism is all about, words. Our approach focuses upon the breadth of our opinion and how effective we are in conveying it to the reader. Our intent when reviewing a game is to ultimately judge whether a game is fun or not. We now classify our reviews on a numerical scale out of five in order to best serve our readership. Our hope is to make our reviews accessible under a universal grading scale. We call this The Final Word and our countless reviews have proven that it works.
5/5 – Excellent
– While the game is not perfect, it is recommended by the reviewer without hesitation.
4.5/5 – Great
4/5 – Good
– The game has obvious flaws and setbacks that hamper its overall enjoyment, it is still worthy of a recommendation by the reviewer.
3.5/5 – Fair
3/5 – Average
– While there is appreciation towards the games aspects, the reviewer felt the title could have been better executed.
2.5/5 – Mediocre
2/5 – Poor
– The games cons outweigh the pros.
1.5/5 – Terribad
1/5 – Abysmal
– You might as well make a bad analogy of why this game sucks.

Flushing 2010
The 2010 Radio Rookies Queens broadcast workshop was in partnership with the Flushing YMCA. The Queens Rookies reported stories about everything from gangs in schools, to what it's like to have your dad deployed in Afghanistan, to being an online girl gamer. These stories received two PRNDI Awards, two NABJ Awards, a NY State Broadcasters Association Award, the United Nations Department of Public Information gold award, a New York Festivals International Radio Award, a NY State AP Broadcasters Association Award and a Gabriel Award.
About the neighborhood:
Flushing, Queens is considered the center of all things Asian, according to most of the Rookies in this workshop. There may be Korea town on 32nd street and Chinatown in downtown Manhattan, but once you step out of the last stop on the 7 train, you land on Main Street—home to multiple Asian ethnicities from Japanese, Korean and Vietnamese, to Chinese and Filipino. There are also people from European, Hispanic and African American descent residing in this multicultural neighborhood. With a population of over two million in Queens, half of whom are foreign born, Flushing helps Queens earn notoriety for being the most diverse borough in New York City.
What the Rookies have to say:
"I think that Radio Rookies is a great avenue for kids to express themselves and talk about issues that affect them and other teens. I think that Flushing is a great place to hang out and the cultures that live here are all diverse. It's like living in Manhattan without the expensive prices." — Melissa Best
"Flushing is a very calm, nice neighborhood. There's never really any problems and it's a really cool neighborhood to be in. I think Radio Rookies is a very interesting program and it's nice to learn everything that is being taught." — Edwin Llanos
"Flushing is awesome. I enjoy everything about it. I love Radio Rookies. I get to work with my passion, which is audio and with people and producers that are amazing and want the best for you." —Rayon Wright

18 year old Caribbean American, Rayon Wright, who was born in Jamaica, West Indies and raised in Brooklyn. Though Rayon grew up surrounded with Jamaican culture and music, he wants more than anything to become a producer of Korean music and entertainment. A lot of non-Asian teenagers like Hello Kitty or Japanese Anime, but Rayon's love for Asian culture goes far beyond that.
The Potential Diplomat
Monday, September 20, 2010
18–year–old Melissa Best has very high expectations for herself and so do her parents, but her friends wouldn't describe her as a hard worker. She's always dreamed of becoming a US diplomat — living abroad and helping people, but then she found out how much work it is to become one. Melissa doesn't want to give up on her plan but she's not sure she can really live up to her high–achiever persona.
Level Up
Monday, September 27, 2010
Video Games! Millions of people play some form of them - from Farmville on Facebook to more complex games on consoles like the Xbox, PlayStation, and the most popular, Wii. Industry experts say forty percent of all game players are female, players of hardcore games like Grand Theft Auto are mostly male. That means the games are designed with boys and men in mind -- and 17-year-old Radio Rookie Jessica Cernadas finds that very frustrating.
The ABCs of Chinese Americans
Monday, October 18, 2010
Most New Yorkers know that over the past half century, Flushing Queens has transformed from a mostly white suburb to one of the largest Asian populated areas in the United States. But in recent years, another transformation has been taking place – a new wave of immigrants from Mainland China is crowding Main Street, while the old wave – mostly from Taiwan, is watching the changes with some reticence. Radio Rookie Helen Peng has been trying to figure out where, exactly, she fits into the changing landscape.
Who's Going to Protect Me?

Back to the Middle East
Tuesday, June 22, 2010
Radio Rookie Alexis Gordon's dad has been in the Army Reserves since before she was born.

Breast-Fed Language
Monday, October 11, 2010
About two thirds of New Yorkers are from immigrant families. And when parents - who came here from other countries - raise American children, they face all kinds of choices about which cultural norms to follow. That's the case in Radio Rookie Andrea Lee Torres' family. Her parents came here from the Philippines in the 1990s. And she's not sure she agrees with at least one decision they made - not to teach her their language.

A 4-year-old girl is now in good condition after she was pulled from a community pool in Apache Junction on Friday.
The Apache Junction Fire Department said when emergency crews got to the pool in the 2000 block of North Delaware Drive, the girl was not breathing.
Fire officials said the child was swimming with her mother and two other siblings when she went underwater. Her mother immediately pulled her out and began giving her CPR.
The child was taken to Cardon's Children's Hospital in serious condition and later upgraded to good condition.

A spider. I was gathering resources when some enemies attacked me. I ran away, but right into a spider who killed me.
A creeper exploded and sent me into lava. So both.
System specs for future reference: Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit, Intel Core i5-3450 3.1 GHz, RAM 8 GB, GeForce GT530 2 GB, HDD 1 TB, everything else ASUS.
Lava. I probably shouldn't have dug down.
creepers, creepers everywhere.
I actually starved. I was playing single player and I didn't even know that crafting tables existed. I ate some raw meat but I eventually succumbed.
At night I hid on a tree, as I knew mobs spawned in the dark. Perfect place for a skeleton to destroy a helpless me.
I have returned
I'm ashamed to see that I am the only one that got killed by sand.
I was really hurt by a creeper explosion,so I went underground to wait for the sun's light to show up. Then, some sand collapsed in my 1x large tunnel and I suffocated.
Sad story.

I started playing back in 2010, my buddy bought me the game for my bday after he showed me a few youtube vids and I was hooked ever since! I know they're a rare spawn, but the first thing that actually killed me was a spider jockey! Has anyone else had such a run of bad luck? I think I was more in awe of what I saw charging at me (and shooting too lol) to really react in time. I hate skellies and spiders / cave spiders with a passion, but a spider jockey? Better have no lag and diamond gear haha!
Gloriously, in battle.

While I was learning how to play, WATER KILLED ME.
I got killed twice in a row the first time I played. A creeper killed me before I completed my temporary shelter for the night then when I respawned, another creeper literally "crept" up behind me and killed me again.

Creeper. When I first started playing, I built an oven to cook some food then went to bed. Was awoken by a loud boom and thought maybe I should check the oven to make sure it's working properly next time. Same thing happened second time and I had no clue what was going on. It wasn't until the third time I saw the green guy and figured out it was him.
My friends told me how to craft, eat, and what creepers and skeletons do. I became a bit slippery against the A.I. so . . .
A human player. I had survived for weeks alone and with friends, peacefully mining underground whilst my friends built houses. We were all on a massive pinnacle of dirt and had built a bridge to another high pinnacle of dirt. My four friends looked at one player and all got out their swords, and I unconciously clutched a mediocre ax, and they all walked up to him. The defenseless loner desparately threw punches to get us to fall off the narrow bridge. I was typing a message and not doing anything and he punched me off. I died. My friends killed him (repeatedly). Then one went in creative mode and built a bedrock block, hollowed it out and put in a redstone torch, and placed the spawn point there. He then killed the guy who killed me. That guy never found me again and I never got atop high pinnacles of dirt a milisecond longer than absolutely necessary.

4:35 PM PT -- MAYIM'S FINGERS ARE SAFE ... but they're not entirely functional yet -- the actress just tweeted that she "will keep all my fingers," but admitted her husband had to type the message.
Mayim Bialik sustained serious injuries in a car accident in Los Angeles this afternoon ... and sources tell us the "Big Bang Theory" actress is in danger of losing her finger.
It all went down on the corner of Hollywood Blvd. and La Brea around noon ... sources tell us the former "Blossom" actress was traveling alone in a white Volvo which was struck in the intersection by another vehicle filled with tourists from Chile.
We're told emergency responders raced to the scene. One source tells us there was "tons and tons of blood everywhere."
Sources tell us Bialik sustained major damage to her left hand ... and "her finger was almost completely severed ... it was just hanging there."
We're told 36-year-old Mayim was rushed to a nearby hospital where she is being treated.
Story developing ...
I wonder if they offered her a hot beverage when she got to the hospital?
I wonder if they offered her a hot beverage when she got to the hospital?
Thank Volvo for the 5 star rating on ALL of their vehicles.
Mayim's finger...Kaley's leg...they boys better be careful next off season.
Best Wishes Mayim
Who is MAYIM BIALIK?
I could be wrong here, but...
it's front bumper damage. The passenger cage is not invaded & the windshield is intact. HTH did she cut her finger so badly?
Believe it or not, this woman is a real neuroscientist and actually does research, so her hands need to function well to do the work.
smart chicks are SO hot!!
I'm glad she seems to be alright, and I'm even more glad that her kids weren't in the car with her at the time.
If I was her I'd have given them the finger and told them to F off!!!
They can always remove a toe and put that in the finger's place.
Really, that car does not look that bad. I thought Volvo was one of the safer cars. Did she have her hand outside the vehicle?
My husband cut 3 of his fingers and his thumb almost off on a saw.They reatached them all. It took him awhile to heal.But now days they can do a lot.Also from the look of the car how did she cut her finger?
TMZ said she was wearing a white jacket and it was red because there was so much blood. Tonight I watched Wed. night's "Soup" and saw her guest appearance & noticed she was wearing a white jean jacket. Did the accident happen on the way home from that taping?
if she loses her finger its ok cause her soul body servies death. all she has to do is put her spirit finger near an object to move them try it it works
