You see? Everything's.. all right.
Sam Winchester + Tickles my pickle (asked by ourswansong)
'The Impala, of course, has all the things other cars have… and a few things they don't. But none of that stuff's important. This is the stuff that's important. The Army man that Sam crammed in the ashtray—it's still stuck there. The Legos that Dean shoved into the vents. to this day, heat comes on, and you can hear 'em rattle. These are the things that make the car theirs. Really theirs. Even when Dean rebuilt it from the ground up, he made sure all these little things stayed. 'Cause it's the blemishes that made her beautiful.'
we'll cling together so tight that nothing and no one'll ever tear us apart. every atom of me and every atom of you … and when they use our atoms to make new lives, they won't just be able to take one, they'll have to take two, one of you and one of me, we'll be joined so tight.

UNDATED (WHTC) - Miguel Cabrera collected four hits, including a homer, and drove in four runs, as the Tigers beat visiting Houston last night, 11-4. Robbie Ray scattered five hits with five strikeouts in over five innings of pitching to win his major league debut, as Detroit posted its seventh straight victory. The series at Comerica Park continues this evening. Coverage on 1450 WHTC begins at 6:40 PM.
Gordon Beckham's solo homer in the eighth inning broke a 1-1 tie, and the visiting White Sox went on to defeat the Cubs at Wrigley Field last night, 5-1. The cross-town Chicago series now switches to US Cellular Field for the next two contests, beginning this evening.
Buck Farmer tossed six innings of six-hit, six-strikeout baseball, pitching the Whitecaps past visiting Lake County last night, 3-1. West Michigan goes for the series sweep of the Captains at Fifth Third Ballpark in a late morning matinee.
Mikael Granlund scored two of Minnesota's four third-period goals as the Wild downed the visiting Blackhawks in NHL Stanley Cup Playoff action last night, 4-0. Ilya Bryzgalov needed just 19 saves to post the shutout, but Chicago still leads the best-of-seven Western Conference Semifinals, two games to one. Game four is at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul on Friday evening.
The Grand Rapids Griffins are in Austin to begin their AHL Calder Cup best-of-seven Western Conference Semifinal series against the Texas Stars tonight.

So, who do you think will be the best Black College football team of the 2009 season?
Grambling won the Black College national title last season and is the preseason pick to capture the SWAC championship. South Carolina State won the MEAC last season, had a strong showing in the Football Championship Subdivision (formerly Division I-AA) playoffs before losing and is the preseason pick to win the conference again.
Albany State is the preseason pick in the SIAC, earning the top spot in a slim margin over Tuskegee, with Fayetteville State earning the nod in the CIAA. Do you think one of those four preseason conference picks will emerge as the top team at the end of the year?
What about a team that didn't earn its conference's top position in the preseason such as Florida A&M in the MEAC, Tuskegee in the SIAC or Jackson State in the SWAC? Will one of those teams rise to the top?
What about Tennessee State or Central State – or someone that I've left out altogether? Let me know who you think will be the best team – and why.
And it won't take long to find out who might be the frontrunner – Grambling and South Carolina State meet in the SWAC/MEAC Challenge Sept. 6. Let the discussion begin …..

tdiog, you are starting to show a low football IQ. What teams do you know MEAC, SWAC or other go to the I-AA playoff and win consistantly every year. The teams in that playoffs are tough and competitve. To even get in the playoff is a great opportunity to show what your program can do. No program is consistantly better than the other in the I-AA playoff. I believe the only back to back champs was Georgia Southern. It is a competitive playoff with no repaeat champs year in and year out. If FAMU won it once in 1978 then that is one hell of an achievement from a black college on the national level. What has Tuskegee and/or any SIAC team done on that level instead of being given a #1 rating by these shody pollsters who rank black college football. They need to get rel too in thinking an SIAC champion should be rated the best black college football team. The SIAC is weak as is your schedule.
August 31st, 2009

Barry you must be soccer knowledgeble because football history is no your forte. The Colonial Athletic Conference consistently has 4 and sometimee 5 representative teams. Appalachia State (southern conference) has been the most recent back to back champions, but I digress. Of course teams in the playoffs are tough and competitive. You make my point blatantly obvious. The MEAC champ gets a automatic invite. The MEAC is 0 for whatever. The 2 best teams in the SWAC play the Bayou Classic every year. Coreect me if I'm wrong , the SWAC doesn't even send a representative to the playoffs. So these 2 powerhouse conferences are tough compared to D II ballers not I AA ballers. BTW Tuskegee plays a Thanksgiving Day Classic so the 2nd place SIAC club usually gets the playoff invite. Point is the SWAC and MEAC are weak when you compare apples to apples.
September 1st, 2009
7:53 pm
tidog. Play the big boys of the MEAC and SWAC and find out. You and I know Tuskeegee will be embarassed. Therefore, this conversation is "MUTE". Talk to your people down there and ask why they won't play the big boys. Evidently, they know more than you.
September 2nd, 2009
11:56 am
tidog- We are weak compared to the D1-AA opponents you named but if our conference is weak what do you call the SIAC or CIAA. Extremely weak. So it's our fault we would rather take the money and fan-fare of the Bayou Classic than go and get our head beat in just to say at least we made it. I don't think so, top to bottom our conference is much better than SIAC or CIAA. That's why you guys get scheduled for Homecomings for SWAC/MEAC schools. We'll see who does better against the bigger conferences this year the SWAC or the MEAC? We'll definitely know after Grambling gets finished with SC State this weekend.
September 3rd, 2009
4:13 am
We also have to take into consideration that Tuskegee is focused on Academics, unlike some of the other respective school's talked about in this discussion. That plays a vital role in recruiting and eligibility (according to TU) of their players. There have been talks of Tuskegee moving up to the SWAC East to make that conference more competitive. As well renovations are currently taking place to accommodate such a move. Until then, SWAC and MEAC schools need to start accepting invitations to play Tuskegee. Grambling and Jackson State have turned down such offers with in the past few years. All in all I have to give credit where it's due. Grambling University is synonymous with Football excellence, besides GSU I dont know another team worth discussing.

Can we all get along?
September 3rd, 2009
11:23 pm
North Carolina A&T will be a team to reckon with in a year, but for now the best team in the MEAC is South Carolina State and in the SWAC, Grambling. I beleive Grambling will repeat as SWAC and Black college champions this year. Tuskegee has a great tradition, and will beat some MEAC and SWAC teams, but not the one's that really count. Tuskegee rules in HBCU DII.
September 6th, 2009
9:23 pm
Well we know it won't be Grambling after the straight UP beat DOWN Otown earlier today. And with all the returning starters we keep hearing about. Maybe next year Grambling coaches will watch film from ALL of the SCSU quarterbacks instead of the starter. The back up quarter named the Player of the Game. WOW! Good luck in the SWAC the remainder of the season.

"I'm back Barry "like James Brown. JUst had the weekend privledge of watching MEAC power Hampton. The Pirates got the victory with all the benefits of "homecooking" to eek out a win over North Carolina Central. Very questionable calls against the road team in closing minutes. Central is one of these DII (CIAA) teams with hopes of moving to 1AA. From my seat, I just didn't see the disparity in player size and ability that the MEAC (big boy) conference is supposed to have. Shaw (CIAA) just beat the living daylight out of Bethune Cookman (MEAC) over the same weekend. Decateur 4 life check your SWAC homecoming schedules for the past 7-10 seasons. Ain't nobody invited Tuskegee to be homecoming fodder. I admit talent and size can be a factor DIII vs DII vs 1AA vs 1A. The most consistent and distinct factor is "numbers". 1A's can outnumber 1AA (more scholarship players). If your'e mediocre or bad 1A / 1AA you'll get handled by these good 1AA and DII teams.

To set the historical record straight: SC State, Tenn State and FAMU (won it all one year) have won NCAA playoff games so HBCU ARE NOT "0-for ) in the playoffs.
This year, SCSU is a legit 2 deep at QB and 4 deep at RB (and, their #1 at RB, Will Ford is the real deal and a preseason FCS/Div 1AA All-America).
Even with the loss of two veteran starters (injury), the SCSU defense was ferocious in wins over Grambling and Bethune Cookman.
Also, in the SWAC, don't count out Anthony Jones' AL A&M.
AND, why should the SWAC and MEAC schools play SIAC and CIAA schools when they have the opportunity to schedule contests against SEC, ACC and other Div 1A schools?
For example, over the past three seasons, SCSU has scheduled games against Air Force, Clemson, Central FL and South Carolina (twice)!

Blood pressure, cholesterol and weight often get the most attention when it comes to evaluating your overall health, but it's important not to overlook other significant health markers. One such marker is thyroid function. The thyroid gland acts as the body's metabolic control center, secreting hormones that regulate metabolism, growth, development and body temperature—important stuff! This butterfly-shaped gland also affects our weight, immune system and energy level, which is dependent on the proper amount of thyroid hormones. Thyroid balance is no less than essential to optimal health. And with the support from a quality nutritional supplement, a balanced thyroid is within reach.

A group of UCLA students have located a notorious war criminal and have videos and pictures of his compound after recognizing him in a convoy while doing research in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Six unnamed students and UCLA Law professor Richard Steinberg spotted Bosco Ntaganda while traveling through the DRC as part of The Sanela Diana Jenkins Human Rights Project. The group was researching appropriate reparations for victims of war crimes after the process goes through the International Criminal Court (ICC).
"A lot of the research is traveling and talking to victims to get their perspective on appropriate reparations. Goma [a DRC town that borders Rwanda] was our base of operations," Steinberg said by phone on Tuesday. On March third, six days into its eight-day trip, the group was traveling on one of the main roads in Goma when it spotted a heavily armed convoy moving in the opposite direction.
"Congo is a pretty militarized place but...coming to an intersection and seeing three Jeeps with RPGs and mounted machine guns who are not UN Peacekeepers kind of jumps out at you. There was a guy talking to someone on the side of the road and we recognized him because his face is all over the place. If you do work in international criminal law, he's one of the world's 10 most wanted," Steinberg said.
Steinberg was referring to Bosco Ntaganda, also known as "The Terminator." Ntaganda is alleged to have led a militia that used child soldiers and massacred civilians in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. He's been wanted by the ICC since 2008 for war crimes (video emerged of an Ntaganda-ordered massacre of 150 villagers). Ntaganda also controls much of the conflict minerals trade in Eastern Congo; activists in the DRC accuse Ntaganda of smuggling local resources.
But despite being one of the most wanted warlords in the world, Ntaganda has never been one to keep a low profile, according to a report from Mother Jones human rights reporter Mac McClelland last year. Ntaganda travels openly wearing the Congolese Army uniform, dines at fine restaurants, and even owns a few.
"We talked to a lot of people who said they'd seen him around at restaurants and someone told us that he lived here on the border and he runs things from a compound that is right by the border. The proximity of this compound to the border helps facilitate getting conflict minerals brought into Rwanda," Steinberg said.
"A clandestine video taken from the street shows the compound and some of Ntaganda's soldiers on guard duty," says a UCLA press release accompanying the media.
The video shows a large multi-story building, flanked by similarly sized structures, behind a tall cement wall. A man in uniform walks the perimeter. The video cuts as the man turns toward the camera.
Because of its sensitive nature, Steinberg declined to say who shot the video. The video was uploaded to YouTube last Monday.

Auberge tops Good Food Guide local listings
THE AUBERGE has topped Guernsey entries in the 2010 Good Food Guide.
THE AUBERGE has topped Guernsey entries in the 2010 Good Food Guide.
The St Martin's restaurant was awarded a cooking score of five out of 10 by the guide, compiled by Which? consumer magazine, which puts it on a par with TV chef Gordon Ramsay's restaurant at Claridge's Hotel in London.
Head chef Daniel Green said a consistently high standard had helped the Guernsey restaurant.
'Customers know what I do and I know what they want,' said Mr Green, who has been head chef at the restaurant for four years, and has worked there for five.
The restaurant, which is owned by Lapwing Trading, has achieved the same score for the past five years. Unlike Ramsay's £70-a-head menu, the Auberge gains its plaudits for £27.
'To keep up with five in the current climate and still run a successful business is something I am very happy about,' said the Peterborough-born chef, who is one of a team of five chefs at the restaurant.
His wife's family brought him to the island after working in London for 13 years. It was there he met her and they now have a five-year-old daughter.
'There was a lot to live up to when I arrived,' he said.
He said there had been visitors to Guernsey who specifically came to the restaurant because they were included in the guide - which a restaurant cannot pay to be in.

Before & After: Bedroom Dresser is Painted No More
Redoux Interiors
Karen scored this dresser when it was left behind in a friend of a friend's garage. She took that dresser with its one green painted drawer home and painted it white and cream to match her bedroom, and there it has lived for the last seven years. She and her husband are working to update their master bedroom, and Karen decided this dresser was just asking for a makeover.
Karen stripped the dresser she painted all those years ago, leaving slight traces of the white paint in the fine detail work. She then sanded and treated the dresser with a prestain wood conditioner. When Karen stained the dresser, she deliberately created an aged effect by wiping stain on and then off until she achieved exactly the look she desired. Adding glass knobs from Anthropologie and old metal casters helped finalize the vintage look she craved for this piece.

Beautiful job. Congratulations!
love this
Love the casters although not sure if this piece is exactly the place for them. But I salute the creativity and hard work that went into this.
lovely wood finish and the knobs. The casters are fun but I would bang my toes on them if this was in my room.
Beautiful! I can't say I get the casters on the carpet, but the piece looks great.
Love the old world feel of the piece now and really like those casters! Well done!
WOW! Gorgeous!
some people are so talented...beautiful job!
I salute her for her hard work, and it certainly looks better without the paint. I just can't get with this style of staining, is this supposed to be shabby chic or something? As someone who refinishes antiques in their spare time this just looks like a hasty or sloppy stain job. Dig the casters.
@jess13 - I admit this isn't my look at all. I don't like shabby chic looking pieces or anything like that, but I think that is what she was going for. At least, she was going for an antiqued and distressed look.
Beautiful job! I couldn't imagine what you could do with that piece of junk in the before picture - it looked like it was ready for the garbage pile. You are a true artist!!
Removing paint from furniture is another level of torture so I bow to her for this absolutely wonderful job!
Well done!
For me, the glass knobs don't really work w/the vintage casters.
I think knobs made from old gears would look cool, though.
sooo cool
Wow! Looks like an expensive piece from restoration hardware!
Lovely! Agree with @rustypatina on the knobs, but I love the stain treatment.
This looks like a piece right out of a pottery barn catalog. Good job! Love the castors.
I like the finished piece: quirky with the pulley wheel casters, a lovely wood feel without feeling brand new.
Especially since I don't take on paint removal. I would have painted it some needed color and used it in the kitchen/dining zone.
So, far more creative that I would have been!
Wow, so many opinions...I have to say you did an amazing job. And I wouldn't change a thing. Love.
Wow, night & day.. absolutely gorgeous. It made me even more giddy when I found out it was free! Stunning.
Skylarkmelody - In the original post she said she got them at: http://shop.retro.net/?page_id=595 .
Does anyone else see the problem with the casters, given that the mirror is precariously balanced against the wall?
Cate G - I thought the same thing!
but I give it a "like"
Lovely, wish i was more creative!
well done. cheers.
Great job, the wheels make a big difference!
I would stub my foot on the casters several times a week if my dresser had them. But, despite that, I think this is an impressive transformation and really achieves an interesting, weathered look.
The casters look so cool though! Esp with the hardware. I tried stripping some west elm overlapping squares chairs, and for the most part it was a disaster-- I'd love to hear more about her experience stripping lots of layers.
Good job but I preferred the original legs/feet over the casters....
excellent job
The makeover was a success on its own. They didn't need to rig our response to the "before" by putting the drawers in at funny angles and pulling them out to random degrees. This is the equivalent of a fashion makeover where part of the big reveal is saying "See? NOW her fly isn't open anymore! And there's no toilet paper stuck to her shoe!"
Thank you so much for featuring my dresser. Thanks for the compliments and the constructive criticism. Not being a designer/decorator and learning as I go, I applaud the comments where improvements could have been made. Note, the mirror leaning on the wall instead of secured.
You can buy the casters from us here: http://shop.retro.net/?page_id=595
Vintage Industrial
I love the opposition of the crystal knobs with the industrial casters. The combination makes the piece that much more interesting. Great job on the stain, too!
Amazing transformation - love the stain variations and the fabulous casters!
I love this!! The castors are a great addition, they definatley make it different to your usual run of the mill dresser.
I love the wood finish and the fact she added wheels. They make this piece so modern and convenient if it ever needs to get moved. I am in the process of trying to redo my bedroom and this piece has given me so many ideas I would like to try.
This looks amazing, nice job! :)
LOVE this. Love the casters, too.
This is definitely a case where some editing would work wonders. On such a simple piece you don't need antiqued stain AND casters AND crystal knobs. All three things together are just too much. It's like someone with too many accessories.
@Bee for Brian brings up an interesting point - was there any problem with the unit other than cosmetic. If not, why make the before picture look like it needed major rehabbing.
I love the castors, but I'd never put them on my own furniture. I'd be too afraid of stubbing my toes on them or running into them.
The feet before were sort of pudgy and dowdy. I like the casters. I think it's possible that, sometime in the future, you might decide to change the crystal knobs out to something more like the casters. It's hard to predict what might work; it will likely be something unexpected. I'm betting you'll see some knobs by chance and think "Those are perfect!" The crystal ones work fine in the meantime.
I think the castors add a modernity that less imaginative souls try to achieve with paint... bless you, you've done a good thing there!
like it a lot, the way it was stained , the knobs , the casters -- all good! this is a piece you'd really notice and admire in an eclectic home .
Question: How long did this take?
LOVE this. love the stain job, what did you use to strip it? I have not had good luck with the citri strip so I am wondering what worked for others.
This is stunning!

The Scoop: Best Time of Day to Take Protein Powder
Today, protein powder is a nutritional supplement staple for those looking to make fitness gains. During phases of intense exercise, muscle fibers are exhausted and take longer to recover. The soreness one feels the days following an intense workout are caused by the muscle fibers breaking down and entering the recovery process. Protein is an excellent aid to this process.
Many avid exercisers choose protein powder supplements due to its convenience in comparison to preparing foods high in protein such as meat, fish, eggs, and dairy. Another benefit of taking protein powder is that it can be taken as a meal replacement or added in addition to meals depending on the person's fitness goals. The rule of thumb with protein is to take one gram of protein per pound of body weight. However, those looking to gain weight or mass should go above and beyond that on a daily basis. Since most protein shakes are low in fat and cholesterol, especially compared to many protein-rich foods, they offer a good option for those looking to gain lean muscle mass.
Protein tastes best mixed in a shaker bottle or blender with milk or a sports drink, such as Gatorade. However, water is the most common choice due to its convenience, and many powders taste great using just that.
"What is the best time of day to take protein?"
This is a question asked by many and has a simple answer: the best time to take protein varies based on your fitness goals. As a meal replacement, protein can be taken in between meals, in place of meals, or before bed. However, it is important to still be efficient at maintaining a balanced diet (grains, vegetables, dairy, fruits, etc.) throughout the day.
As a recovery agent from intense workouts, protein should be taken within a half hour after a workout, directly before bed, or both. Taking protein directly after a workout immediately feeds the muscle fibers that were exhausted. Fast acting proteins, such as whey, are best for taking directly after a workout since they enter your system fastest. However, most of your bodies recovery occurs during your sleep cycles, so taking protein immediately before sleep will allow for the protein to absorb in the body during these stages, which increases muscle recovery time greatly. One of the best proteins to take pre-sleep is casein protein, which has a very slow absorption rate.
Best types of protein powders
Whey Protein- The most popular, cost efficient choice for people who exercise often. Whey is also so popular due to its consistency in taste and quality. This type of protein comes in two varieties: whey concentrate and whey isolate. Whey concentrate has a low lactose level that is well tolerated by most lactose-sensitive people. It has small amounts of fat and carbs relative to your overall nutrient intake. This type of protein is usually the best selling form of whey. Whey isolate is virtually fat-free for those wishing to eliminate as much fat from their diet as possible. It is typically lactose free for those few individuals who are very sensitive to the low-lactose levels found in whey concentrate. Whey isolate tends to taste slightly better than whey concentrate too, yet its consistency is a little thinner, without the fat.
Casein Protein- Like whey protein, casein protein is another milk protein derivative. Since most of the protein (80%) in milk is casein, the terms "milk protein" and "casein protein" are used interchangeably. The key difference between whey and casein is that whey is absorbed in the digestive system quickly, whereas casein is absorbed slowly and steadily. Taste-wise they are similar. Both are more or less tasteless in their unflavored and unsweetened state.
Egg White Protein- Egg white protein was the most popular type of protein supplement for many years before milk proteins surpassed its popularity due to their better taste and lower cost. Like casein, egg white protein is also naturally very low in fat and carbs.
Soy Protein- Soy protein provides antioxidant benefits, heart health benefits and is often used by women transitioning through menopause.

To the fresh tomatoes and fresh basil leaves, I add several paper-thin slices of Vidalia onions, with a few sprinkles of crumbled goat cheese...and it doesn't get any better than this. My husband dresses this salad with either balsamic vinegar dressing, olive oil and vinegar, or a bottled Vidalia onion dressing. I use only fresh ground black pepper as the goat cheese melts slightly with the tomato juice and nothing else is needed. It's such a sad day when the heirlooms are finished for the season, and we have to wait another year for such a delicious tomato treat. I serve this salad almost every night when in season, and would never hesitate to serve it to even the fussiest dinner guests.

Shonna Tucker and Eye Candy's debut album, "A Tell All" features ten songs about love and jealously, nights spent on the road and nights spent in the kitchen, the things men do to women and women do for men.
Riot Fest is dedicated to bringing fans of music and fun of all ages together to celebrate rock, excellent food and the joy-bringing aspects of a carnival.
"Tess" does not yet come with a warning label. After all, all's fair in love and war – and who's to say they're not the same?
Has bemused cynicism and ennui ever been so fun? Archie Powell & the Exports have made a career of grafting prismatic power pop and sardonic, dark looks at the world outside into guileless songs with hooks galore.
Taylor Hollingsworth and Kate Taylor singing together are a match made in heaven (or hell, if the Devil has anything to do with it).
Detroit's Amy Gore & Her Valentines sound is pure rock n' roll with power pop touches.

My Mom is reaching the end of her long and trying life and I'm truly thankful that in these autumn moments of her time I can be with her.
At her wake it is my privilege to bring together moments, memories in imagery and song. I recently came across this wonderful compilation of 2000 voices from around the world ....I thought it might be appropriate to play it but not sure and wanted some feedback from folks.
It entitled "Sleep"
love it
My two cents worth: I think it's absolutely glorious, Vaughn, and very appropriate (I don't know your mom, but I think it would be a wonderfully calm, beautiful, spacious tribute at a special person's service)
Go with your instinct. If it feels right ... go with it!
Its beautiful, Vaughn.
As Lura says, if it feels right...go with it...
One of the most loving gifts we can give a loved one is to walk with them as far as we can as they approach the doorway to the next step on their soul's journey. It is a love that is shared and felt between the two, and a memory that each will always hold within their heart. May your mom's path be illumined by Light and may she rest in the peace of your love.
thanks both of you for your support, it's just difficult to think of anything appropriate without being to syrupy or gloomy or overdone.
much appreciated.
May I just say this is not about what "other" people may think. This is about what you feel in your heart about honoring your mom, thanking her for her love and presence in your life, and paying tribute to her as you share memories that are special to you both. Always remember that whatever you decide to do, it holds an energy of love which will never be lost for either of you.
Amen to what Peg just so wisely stated!
Peg you words move me everytime you post. I agree with everything that was said, and Vaughn this is your goodbye to your Mom. It should reflect what you feel as you bid your Mother goodbye on her new journey into the light and love.
Thank you, monti. How are you doing, dear one? I think of you everyday and continue to surround you with loving Light. It is my hope and intent that you find at least a little peace each day as you walk your path. Always remember, you are loved by so many of us here.
dear Vaughn , this video is one of the most touching and beautiful thing I´ve ever seen. Thank you so much for posting it.
Keep the energy of it´s beauty and peace in your soul , mind and heart because by doing so you will , like OneLight said so well , " walk with her as far as you can " And if you are asking if it´s right to play it for her , my answer is ... YES .
May god give her a peacful rest and a beautiful new journey. May light surround you.
Love , Lóa
Thanks so much Loa and everyone for your support, thank God Mom is still with us. In these times it's given me reflection on just how significant words, music, sounds are in the chorus of our lives.
Just as bitter, hateful and disruptive chords can cause pain, so can people of good cheer, loving thoughts and words instill hope, healing and love.
As I grow older I'm tuning out violent movies, sounds, messages of violence and war, crime...is that naive of me to turn away, to not want to around such communications? I know very well they exist but do I have to be reminded every day of my life, can I not fill that space with inspiration, sounds that move the heart and soul to such heights of wonder.
I'm so grateful for mother Nature, even on those rainy days, those rain drops can send me to slumber and peace, I wake up and the air is fresh and new again. God please give me the patience, and wisdom to always be humble, able to see the wonder that surrounds me, each and every moment.
Thank you all for being just who you are.

Starting May 23, 2011, through the summer and possibly fall, Jeffrey Chodorow is turning the 12,000-square-foot outdoor plaza behind FoodParc into BeerParc, a beer garden with Austrian-German grub from Edi & the Wolf and Seasonal, as well as less Germanic offerings from Ed Brown, Harold Dieterle of Kin Shop, and the ubiquitous Fatty 'Cue. Here's how it'll work: You pay $3 per ticket (credit cards accepted). They go toward beers from one of the ten taps (the initial lineup: Magic Hat #9, Radeberger Pilsner, Tucher Helles Hefeweizen, Brooklyn Lager, and Southampton Publick House Double White Ale) and toward food from the stands that'll dot the plaza (items will cost anywhere from one to three tickets). Then you have a seat in front of a 34-foot screen broadcasting Mets and Yanks games. Not a bad way to spend happy hour in midtown west.
Here's a look at some of what each stand will be serving. Edi & the Wolf: Grilled cheddarwurst with sauerkraut and potato salad, and a Bavarian-style pretzel. Soi 29: Thai-style fried chicken with green papaya salad, and braised beef with sour orange curry, mustard greens, and jasmine rice. Fatty Snack: Fatty 'Cue pork hot dog with pickled slaw, and a beef brisket sandwich with chili aioli, red onion, and cheddar. Ed's Raw Bar: Lobster avocado BLT roll, raw littleneck clams, East Coast oysters, shrimp cocktail.

The secret to investing on your own
Investing isn't a game of buying low and selling high, and you don't need to pay anyone to do it for you. It's about owning companies, and taking a risk to do so.
Recently, the editors at Money.com asked me to think about what it takes to become an independent investor.
I'll take "independent" to mean something that most people with a 401k or an individual retirement account can realistically do. I'm not talking about sitting at your desk all day trading your own portfolio of stocks.
In fact, the way I think about independence, you'll want to automate about 99 percent of the investment decisions in your portfolio -- specifically, which individual stocks and bonds to hold.
The independence that matters has nothing to do with stock selection. It's about cutting out costly middlemen, from advisers who help you select investments, to the managers who pick the securities inside the mutual funds you may hold.
The rewards to doing this are significant. A high-cost mutual fund may shave 1 percent or more off of your investments each year, which can easily add up to six figures in fees and foregone gains over a lifetime as an investor. Eliminating layers of management also means you are less exposed to the quirky risks someone else might take with your money.
You don't need a lot of time or expertise to pick these middleman-free investments. You can build a portfolio that holds a diversified slice of stocks and bonds with just three index mutual funds, portfolios that mimic the composition of the overall market at very low cost. If stocks rise 8 percent in a year, you'll earn 8 percent or very close to it. You very likely have index options in your 401k plan -- if not, say something to your HR manager! -- and index funds are easy to buy in an IRA.
Below is what that portfolio might look like. You can adjust the split depending on your appetite for risk, but the one below is a good starting point for many long-term investors saving for retirement. (The less you can stand to lose, the more you'd add to the bond fund.)
In contrast to typical funds, this portfolio will cost you less than 0.1 percent of assets per year, and will get with three easy decisions exposure to literally thousands of stocks. You can choose index funds from our Money 50 list of recommended funds.
It's easy to say that anyone can do this, of course. But I think a lot of people lean on investment middlemen because they aren't sure they know enough about investing to do it themselves, and even if they want to learn, they aren't sure which knowledge really matters. There's so much you could dive into: stock sectors, "P/E" ratios, the January effect, EPS growth, upside earnings surprises, etc., and etc.
So here's the one thing I think you have to understand to be a competent, on-your-own investor: Where the return on your investments really comes from. And the answer is that, for stocks, it comes from two sources. You own businesses, and you are taking a risk to do so.
Beginners are often introduced to the market with the old saying, "buy low and sell high." This isn't wrong (doing it the other way sure won't feel good), but it's not at all helpful. It makes investing sound a like a game of wits against other investors -- first you figure out when a stock is too low, and then sell it when somebody else is willing to buy it for more than its worth.
That's hard, and you have to learn a lot about companies, accounting and human psychology to even attempt it. The whole edifice of the middleman money management business is built on the fact that most people believe they can't do this themselves, or don't want to.
But to be a buy-and-hold index investor, you can throw out "buy low/sell high" and the game-playing thinking that tends to go with it. This isn't about finding a greater fool to buy your stock further down the road.
Owning stocks gives you a claim on the earnings of companies. As an owner, you make money over time either because you are being paid a dividend out of profits, or because profits are being reinvested in the business to make it more valuable. Index funds give you a share in the future profits of the America's, or the world's, public companies. It's almost as simple as that. Almost.
The other, crucial part of the equation is that the earnings of companies are uncertain and so are the cash flows shareholders will get. Stock investors get no promises that a company will ever earn enough to produce a dividend. Investors typically bake that risk into the market price of stocks, so that they can hope to be compensated with a higher return than they'd get on bonds.
Historically, stocks have earned about 4.5 percentage points per year above bonds. Stock investors have on average been paid for risk -- but that doesn't mean you'll always get paid for risk. Case in point: The nearly 50 percent loss investors took on blue-chip stocks in the wake of the financial crisis.
If you get that, you have the baseline knowledge you need to build a diversified portfolio and stick with it. The potential for loss is built into stock investing and you only make money if you are willing to live with that. The rest is (usually expensive) fiddling around the edges.

Questions? Contact Us
Dancers face unique demands as athletes, and require specialized care to stay at the peak of their performance. Sports medicine physicians at Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin have extensive experience working with dancers at all levels, providing care for injuries, injury prevention and performance enhancement.
Our team understands dancers as athletes, and offers sports medicine services tailored to the demands of dance, including:
A Medical College of Wisconsin sports medicine specialist serves as company physician for the Milwaukee Ballet. Dedicated athletic trainers, also from the Sports Medicine Center, work with the physician to provide a comprehensive program for the professional troupe as well as the Milwaukee Ballet School. We understand and know how to treat the injuries that are specific to dancers. We also provide injury prevention education, nutrition counseling, and training-room coverage on site.
We work with dancers on their specific performance enhancement goals, whether that is better leap height, increased endurance or improved strength. We also treat dancers at the Sports Medicine Center, providing all the services that any athlete requires, including imaging, physical therapy and rehab. For dancers who live in the area, we provide primary care year-round.
A Medical College of Wisconsin sports medicine specialist serves as team physician for the Trinity Irish Dancers. This world-champion troupe of dancers faces challenges and injuries unique to their demanding style of dance. Our physicians conducted one of the few studies to examine the injuries that Irish dancers face. Stress fractures are the most common injury, often affecting the sesamoid bone, under the big toe. The team at Froedtert & the Medical College knows how to treat these and other dance-related injuries.
Specialists from the Sports Medicine Center work closely with Trinity Irish dancers, coaches and parents to provide comprehensive care, including nutrition and injury prevention. We use MRI imaging to accurately diagnose stress fractures and soft tissue injuries. DEXA scanning, (dual energy X-ray absorptiometry), a test to measure bone mineral density, helps us determine how strong a dancer's bones are, so that weak bones can be treated through improved nutrition.

'Thor: The Dark World' Contest Seeks 'The Next Jane Foster' Among Science-Minded Female Students

Funneling the sun's energy
MIT engineers propose a new way of harnessing photons for electricity, with the potential for capturing a wider spectrum of solar energy.
The quest to harness a broader spectrum of sunlight's energy to produce electricity has taken a radically new turn, with the proposal of a "solar energy funnel" that takes advantage of materials under elastic strain.
Reading this I was struck by a thought that really bothers me, and hadn't surfaced in a coherent way until just now. Occasionally things like the above proposal will pop up, either here on my tumblr dashboard, someone's post on FB, or just some article I'm directed to; it's great, it's wonderful to see scientists and engineers continuing to cultivate new and/or better ideas on how to harness clean energy, produce highly sustainable resources, and what have you. So what's the problem? Actually doing so.
While people continue to dream of a bright new future, and others dream up ways to make it happen, everyone else seems hell bent on keeping it from happening. Politicians who could help things both come to fruition with funding and then have these wondrous projects implemented on a countrywide level are all in the pockets of their corporate masters. This is the second decade of the 21st century. Why aren't we all in electric cars? Why are we still sucking every drop of oil out of the ground when we simply don't need it? Why aren't there fields of solar panels and windmills across the land? We passed acres of them in Spain the other day, and a couple solar towers which are like one giant solar panel which looks beautiful, like the ivory tower in the Never Ending Story. Every field of panels, every windmill "garden", every solar tower we passed, honestly, I was feeling more and more outrage that we don't have them in every damned State of the union. You should be pissed too.
Even from a corporate point of view, there's money to be made there. If that's your deal, if all you want is money, shit, just start producing green technology. What's that old adage? 'It takes money to make money'? If the CEO can take only a 10 bajillion dollar bonus this year instead of a 20 bajillion dollar one, and put that money into researching clean energy and the like, then spent the necessary funds to revamp the production facilities from making gas-guzzling cars to making electric ones… boom. I know some people refuse to sacrifice anything for anyone outside of their own family, so maybe they could just think of their children growing up in the desert wasteland their greed is creating. I digress (only a little), but it's all so damned infuriating, and it's all tied together. Greed, apathy, more greed, corruption, more greed, more apathy, etc. So, please people, get a little angry, spread some of that anger…
I guess I just had to vent here. I know the outrage of one stupid fat-ass American expat isn't really going to start a revolution, but maybe if everyone else gets a little more outraged too we can all be outraged together. Who knows.
For the first time, scientists have visually captured a molecule at single-atom resolution in the act of rearranging its bonds. The images look startlingly similar to the stick diagrams in chemistry textbooks.
Until now, scientists were only able to infer molecular structures. Using atomic force microscopy, the individual atomic bonds — each a few ten-millionths of a millimeter long – that connect the carbon molecule's 26 carbon and 14 hydrogen atoms are clearly visible. The results are reported online May 30 in Science.

It looks like Geordi LaForge's vision visor is already outdated. A tiny 3mm microchip has given vision back to the blind. Scientists and doctors in Oxford implanted a new "bionic eye" microchip in the eyes of two blind individuals last month during a grueling eight-hour operation. The chips were placed in the back of the eyes and connected with electrodes. Weeks later, both individuals — Chris James and Robin Millar — have regained 'useful vision' and are well on their way to recognizing faces and seeing once again, reports Sky News.

13 Ways to Hunt Intelligent Aliens
Really. Where are all the aliens? We should have been probed, exterminated, assimilated, infected, invaded or abducted by now, shouldn't we?
The Fermi Paradox ponders the lack of evidence of another transmitting intelligent civilization — of all the stars and all the galaxies in the universe, you'd think one intelligent alien race would have bothered to call by now? Either we're on the interstellar "do not call" list, or we're the most advanced life form out here (scary thought), or (even scarier) we're the only life form out here.
The search for any extraterrestrial life is one of the most profound things we, as a species, can do. But as any other life beyond Earth's shores has yet to be discovered, the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) can be a hard-sell. Still, the search continues and scientists are thinking up more and more extreme ways to fine-tune our high-tech array of astronomical instruments to detect intelligence in the stars.
Here are the weird and wonderful ways scientists hope to snare an intelligent alien.
My only problem with this is the section I "bolded" above; those aren't the only options. There are myriad other situations which may be the case. Perhaps intelligent life as we know it (and thus the sort we're looking for communication from) is developing at a very similar rate to that on Earth. If that's the case, any radio signals (which it seems is the only sort of signal we're looking for, which seems a little narrow-viewed) might simply not have reached us yet. Space is pretty damn large. There's also my favorite theory which is that there's plenty of inter-stellar communication, but we're not advanced enough to hear it.
Making closed statements like the one above are what gall me the most in regards to articles about the search for life, and science in general.
Edit: My astrobiologist wife thinks that they meant, at least partly, what I just wrote by "do-not-call list," however I still disagree. I disagree on the grounds that a "do-not-call list" is a negative thing. I'm arguing that perhaps we're the neolithic bushmen to their star-faring greatness, and that's not someone you put on a do not call list. That's someone you perhaps send an anthropologist (or zoologist) to study, talk to, learn about. Do-not-call lists tend to be stocked with people you don't want to talk to. People you dislike, or rivals. It has negative connotations. It's the former employee you don't want coming back on company grounds. It's the PTA parent you don't call for field trip volunteering because they got drunk on that trip to DC.
Obviously everyone's entitled to their opinions, but mine is that they worded the article poorly.
Racism: I don't like your SNPs.
Prejudice: Because I don't like your SNPs, I'm going to assume things about you and stereotype you.
Discrimination: Because I don't like your SNPs, I'm going to act on my prejudice.

Misogyny: Because I don't like your two x chromosomes, I'm going to express hatred toward you.

There are many reasons why I love physicists, and this is one of them. Physicists at Cornell are now testing the hypothesis formed by the University of Oxford professor, Nick Bostrom, who argued that we are most certainly in a computer simulation. These researchers came up with a viable option to test whether we are in a computer simulation or not, and researchers from the University of Washington, and ones in Germany have also agreed that this method will work. These researchers are building their own simulated models using lattice quantum chromodynamics. I know that flew way over everyone's heads, but it's basically just a system using huge computers to help us understand particle and nuclear physics experiments. While these simulations can only model up to scales of an atom right now, if these principles can be applied to larger scales, this theory could be successfully tested. This is the first idea made that could test this. If energy signatures in the simulation match those we see in real life, there is a good chance we might exist inside a computer. These researchers have taken this a step further; if we do exist inside a computer, should we attempt to communicate with whomever made us? Is it possible that these people made other universes using the same platform, and if so, should we try and communicate with those other universes?
At the end of the day it all comes down to the iconic question, "Will you take the red pill or the blue pill?"
Happy Monday followers! Have questions? Love astronomy? Ask me!
Better than a Matrix reference, one should watch the "13th Floor" and then reread this article.
What the fuck did I just say? (x)
I want NdT on the US's science committee. Maybe he can replace Rape-face, or God-boy. How about NdT and the Nye replace those two, and we just fire most of the others too.
New Brain Gene Gives Us Edge Over Apes, Study Suggests
ScienceDaily (Nov. 14, 2012) — Scientists have taken a step forward in helping to solve one of life's greatest mysteries — what makes us human? An international team of researchers have discovered a new gene that helps explain how humans evolved from chimpanzees.
My only problem with a scientific article's abstract is when it has a blatantly incorrect statement in it — like when talking about evolution, and stating that humans evolved from chimps. We and chimps have a common ancestor, but we're not "from chimpanzees". If we're going to post an article about evolution, let's start on the right foot.

If you're like many athletically inclined young people, after an injury you're champing at the bit to get back to your favorite activity. You do your course of physical therapy faithfully, confident that you'll be all set once it's over.That's the worst mistake you can make.
One thing you must never do after physical therapy is to return immediately to the activity that got you injured in the first place. You have to keep in mind that physical therapy is
intended to restore normal function, and if you're accustomed to challenging yourself physically and stretching your limits, then after your course of therapy, you will not have recovered the level of fitness you were at before. While it's very tempting to test yourself against your peak of ability, it's very dangerous to do so right after physical therapy treatment. Even after you are released, your body is still in the healing process, and it is extremely vulnerable to re-injury.
Now some of you may say that "I received sports specific rehab and I should be good to go after my treatmnet by my PT " . Well this is true but make sure to talk to your therapist about the level of activity you would like to return to. If your PT is on the money he would have made sure to design a program to get you back to your sport and make you better at it as well.
Physical therapy in general gets a bad rap from some physicians and other healthcare providers. Even the general public thinks that physical therapy is about getting a massage. But there is so much more than that.
The worst thing you can do to the parts of your body you're trying to heal is subject them to the same stresses that injured them in the first place. There is also the risk of falling back into bad habits. Suppose that something you did wrong caused your injury. You wouldn't want to keep doing it that way!
The best thing you can do is start back at the beginning and relearn your skills as if from scratch. It won't take nearly as long, of course, but by working back up from the basics, you can check your habits, make sure that you practice good form and safe habits, and help restore your physical strength and the ability to do the things you like to do. So when you're out of therapy, just keep in mind that the clean bill of health you receive isn't carte blanche to return to whatever activities you were carrying out before. It is simply the first step on a road to recovery, and you want to continue with the respect and caution that your body deserves.
Take good care of it, give it time to heal, and you'll be back in no time or less, but if you rush it you'll be back in the doctor's office even faster than that, and the second time around, your prospects for recovery won't be as good.
