Another year has passed. So what? Not like I did anything interesting in 2011. Unless I did? OH YEAH, I did a lot of things, like going on trips, to parties, meeting new people, taking a ton of photos, drawing, but especially mapping. Now that I have a somewhat decent intro, I can start to talk about my mapping year.
2011 started off pretty well, with a mapping competition on PlanetPhillip.com, Rooftopville, where our goal was to create an interesting rooftop scenario, similar to Half-Life 2's where the player has run away from the combine.
When I joined in, the competition was nearing it's deadline, so I had to create a level(s) in just three weeks. This was the time when I learned to use scripted sequences and events. At first, it was difficult to tell Hammer exactly how I wanted my character to move in the world and how the action should develop, but my efforts were rewarded in the end. This was probably my first map that had proper gameplay elements.
The map was pretty well received, but the majority pointed out that it felt unfinished or not polished enough. Here is Phillip's comment, extracted directly from PlanetPhillip.com :
"Perhaps the best start of all the entries, this colour-corrected map starts with a bang! It was fairly short and did what it was supposed to do and that was make me play on the rooftops. The path was clear in each section, perhaps too clear, and some action was easy to avoid. The final battle was too plain and vanilla, and it was even possible to jump around the corner and get out the map.
All in all a good entry but not polished enough to win."
Afterwards, I took a long break from mapping, about three months. Somewhere in April, after the Valve ARG and Portal 2's release I was ready to get back into Hammer and resume work. I decided to improve and master the displacement technique. Over the next months I tried different things with displacements, gaining more and more experience.
By the end of June I was already planning to release a map and was working on several other projects. On 8th July I released a small gungame map for Counter-Strike: Source, fy_plybox, which was very well received by the community. As of now, it has 967 downloads and a rating of 9.61/10 (based on 13 ratings).
fy_plybox introduces a new and exciting environment for Valve's Counter-Strike: Source, featuring fast paced rounds that take place inside a warehouse specially designed for close quarter combat. The map has a uniqure feel to it and an extreme attention to detail, further enhancing the visual experience. On the other hand we have the gameplay experience, which can get very tense at moments when you're the only one left and knowing that your enemy could be right around the corner. Your victory is not only achieved by skill, but also by choosing the right weapon for this kind of combat and keeping yourself constantly moving.
As summer was nearing an end, a new mapping competition on PlanetPhillip.com was arising, gravitygunville. As the name suggests it, we were only allowed to use the gravity gun as a weapon/tool. This competition proved to be a bit difficult for me. I spent about two-three weeks working on several designs until I found one that pleased me, which was a simplistic, more abstract design.
Gravitygunville was a competition in which I really wanted to participate, not only because the grand prize was 100$, but because the maps were being judged by three professional level designers. I did not have any hopes of winning, but on 8th October I was surprised to find out that my entry was selected as the grand winner. One thing I regret is that I didn't make the level longer. I would have certainly loved to add a few more puzzles and possibly some action sequences.
After the competition was over I started working on two other maps for two different mods and I am still working on them even now. I decided put more effort and make sure that they will be part of my best maps. As you can see, they are far from done.
Right before the year could end, an event on Facepunch, entitled "The Two Week Mod", motivated me to contribute with a level for it. However, the level was never finished, but it certainly won me some experience.
It's been a truly great mapping year. I've learned so many new things, from layout designing to releasing a map. One thing is certain, making maps is really hard, but worth it in the end. There's nothing more rewarding than seeing other people enjoy something you've created. Even though I would have liked to show you all my projects I cannot, because I have simply lost track of some. Here are a few I found worth showing, but not talking about.
P.S: This is the second time I write this whole article from sctrach, because I accidentally closed the page after I had finished the first one. Better click "Save Blog" before something else happens.

Today I went through the old things I've collected from my father and grandfathers.
The photos are 30-50 years old. In the middle one you can spot my dad playing en electric guitar.
The medals date back to 1971,1972 and 1974. On the one from 1971 it reads "The 50th anniversary of the romanian communist party", the one from 1972 "25 years since the proclamation of the republic" and on the one from 1974 "30 years since romania was freed from the fascist domination".
The red book is french-romanian dictionary and it's about 60-70 years old. I currently use it for my french homework. On top of it there are some old theater binoculars, made in the URSS.
The camera is a vintage Zenit 3EHNT Camera, which was bought by my father, somewhere in 1980, when he was in Russia.
And the money dates back to 1940. That is all.

Today I finally uploaded my frag video. I recorded for a few days on the 2fort map, while playing with some friends. I got a total of 42 bat kills, including 3 death balls. It's not much, but I had more of them in demo format, but he TF2 update fucked them up.
Anyway, here it is:

What is color correction ?
Color correction is the concept of altering the color balance of an image to achieve a desired effect. It is primarily used to set an emotional tone or convey important information.
You can read more at the Valve wikipedia Developer.valvesoftware.com
Today I learned about color correction and how to use it in Source games. I won't tell you how to do that, but I will show you some comparison photos from Portal. The first picture doesen't use color correction, while the second one does.
Of course, you can use that feature to change the appearance of any map. You can make it black-white, purple, yellow etc, you can invert the colors, reduce them and many other options, but I chose to make it look darker, reduce the colors a bit and some other minor stuff.

Dudes and Dudets, from the creators of Portal: Prelude, I present you "I Hate Mountains". As soon as the campaign was released, me an my friends downloaded it and played through it on Expert/Advanced.
I have to say that it was a very good campaign, with a very nice setting and plot. Anyway, here are the videos:
NOTE* The "Let's play" contains mature conversations, professional gameplay and should be taken very seriously!
Thank you for watching and stay tunned for more videos and media!

SPX Corp: An Industrial Stock Worth Betting On
Maxwell is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Industrials is one of the first sectors to go up when the economy improves. Point in fact, Morningstar reports that industrials have risen by about 13% since the first of the year after the US GDP jumped almost 3% in the fourth quarter. The trend makes sense – economic growth requires raw materials, construction, the transportation of those materials and the planning to put them all in place. In other words, there is room for growth across the board in this sector right now but that doesn't mean that all companies will experience the same boon. Some will fare better than others.
One industrials company that I think is poised to pop is SPX Corporation (NYSE: SPW).
SPX Corporation includes brand names Actron, Anhydro, APV, Balcke-Durr, Blue M, Bran + Luebbe, Copes-Vulcan, Dielectric, Dollinger, Fenn, Flash Technology, GD Engineering, Genfare, GLE, Hankison, Jemaco, Johnson Pump, Kayex, Lightnin, M&J Valve, Marley, OTC, Pearpoint, Plenty, Power Team, Recold, Robinair, Stone, TCI and Waukesha. It recently traded for $74.63 a share on a mean one-year target estimate of $81.91. The company also pays a modest $1.00 dividend (1.40% yield), after a recent dividend increase, and is priced low relative to its future earnings, with a forward P/E of just 12.36.
SPX Corporation recently announced its 2011 performance. The company reported net income of $186 million bolstered by a revenue increase of 12%. SPX Corporation's flow technology and test/measurement segments showed especially high growth, at 23% and 16% respectively. Growth in the latter segment led the company to improve its operating margins by several percentage points. It went from 8.3% in 2010 to 10.4% in 2011. Within the flow technology segment, the recent acquisition of global pump technologies supplier CLYDEUNION led to steady operating margins of 13%.
According to Yahoo Finance, analysts are estimating that SPX Corporation's earnings will increase by 15.13% per annum on average over the next five years, with 6.20% earnings growth forecasted for 2012 and 30.50% for 2013. At these estimates, SPX Corporation has an intrinsic value of $60.81 a share – that's a difference of 22.73% and too low for my tastes taken alone, but you have to remember that this company has strong opportunities for growth going forward. I do not believe these opportunities are figured into its earnings growth estimates.
SPX Corporation is planning to divest its Service Solutions to Robert Bosch GmbH, the largest auto parts supplier in the world, in a $1.15 billion cash deal. The move will allow SPX Corporation to focus more on its core specialties. With the extra cash flow, SPX Corporation plans to pay down some of its debt and repurchase shares. SPX Corporation also recently announced a new contract to build condensers for the largest-planned geothermal power plant in Kenya. The company's Flow Technology segment has also garnered a fair amount of attention in recent months.
SPX Corporation's Flow Technology segment was awarded a contract in February to design and install dairy processing systems for Bright Dairy's new facility in Shanghai. This is only SPX Corporation's most recent inroad to the East and the massive market there. In January, the company signed a strategic joint venture agreement with the Shanghai Electric Group to supply its industry-leading products to China's power sector. Before that, in October 2011, SPX Corporation's Flow Technology segment entered into an agreement to buy German-based e&e Verfahrenstechnik GmbH, a leading supplier of evaporation, freeze-drying and vacuum sealing technologies used in the food and beverage, pharmaceutical and bioenergy industries. All in all, I think the future looks very bright for SPX Corporation – certainly better than its competitors.
Other companies in the industry, like Emerson Electric (NYSE: EMR), are neck and neck with SPX Corporation, but they lack the forward outlook. Emerson Electric counts such brands as AMS Suite, Baumann, Bettis, Bristol, CSI, Damcos, Daniel, DeltaV, Appleton, ASCO, ASCO Joucomatic, ASCO Numatics, Aperture, Artesyn, ASCO Power Technologies, Astec, Fisher Regulators and Micro Motion to its credit and has roughly the same upside predicted as SPX Corporation – the company recently traded at $50.18 on a mean one-year target estimate of $56.42 – but it offers a much higher dividend of $1.60 (3.20% yield). Emerson Electric is also priced only marginally higher than SPX Corporation, with a forward P/E of 12.63, but analysts are not expecting nearly the earnings increase.
According to Yahoo Finance, they forecast an earnings growth increase of just 11.90% a year on average over the next five years. Its earnings are expected to go up 7.40% this year and 14.40% next year. At these rates, Emerson Electric has an intrinsic value of $48.88, suggesting it too is overvalued by almost 3%, but it doesn't have the prospects that the SPX Corporation does.
Sure, Emerson Electric has a number of high profile companies, like Apple (AAPL), as customers – and it has had some big contracts recently. In 2010, the company won a contract from Quanta Services (PWR) to supply power inverters and plant-wide controls for one of the largest photovoltaic power generation facilities in the world (it is California's largest). In 2011, Emerson Network Power, a division of Emerson Electric was selected by Australia's National Broadband Network Company (NBNCo) to design, supply and install ten network facilities centers across the country in preparation for the rollout of Australia's National Broadband Network (NBN) for $100 million.
These sound like big deals, and I suppose they are, but they are one-offs – singular income earning opportunities. In contrast, the SPX Corporation has opportunities and acquisitions that offer continual income. I think is the dividing factor.
Emerson Electric signed two big contracts but then what?
SPX Corporation is exploring a variety of geographic locations for its opportunities. In and of itself a strategy like this provides some natural hedging against macro events. Further, they are largely in emerging economies. This fact provides some hedging against developed nations – after all, emerging nations can grow independently of developed countries – but, more importantly, the opportunity for growth is huge, making SPX Corporation a great buy.

MindFuck : an idea or concept that shakes one's previously held beliefs or assumptions about the nature of reality.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
"Decide in your heart of hearts what really excites and challenges you, and start moving your life in that direction. Every decision you make, from what you eat to what you do with your time tonight, turns you into who you are tomorrow, and the day after that. Look at who you want to be, and start sculpting yourself into that person. You may not get exactly where you thought you'd be, but you will be doing things that suit you in a profession you believe in. Don't let life randomly kick you into the adult you don't want to become."
—Chris Hadfield
The O-ring ice-water demonstration done by Richard Feynman to prove that the resilience of the O-rings used at the field joints of the Solid Rocket Booster was not good at low temperatures. Being that the cause of the Challenger accident.
Facts about space (International Space Station)
1. Electrical instruments in space do not use fuses, because there is no gravity. Gravity helps here on Earth to pull down the strip of metal inside the fuse to cut off excessive current. But in space, things are a little bit different.
2. Astronauts use a kind of diapers when they are in EVA (Extra-vehicular Activity) missions due to the long time it takes to perform this tasks.
3. Astronauts get about 2.5 inches taller after about a week in space. Without the weight of a body compressing it, the spine's curvature lessen and the discs between the vertebrae expand and absorb more water.
4. Astronauts coming home from a six month space station trip, come back with 15% to 20% less bone than they had when they left.
5. There are no showers in space. Astronauts wipe themselves with moistened towels and rinseless shampoo.
6. In order to be an Astronaut you need to have a big capacity to tolerate boredroom and low levels of stimulation. ( Like Chris Hadafield )
7. There is a test in JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency), to select astronauts, and it involves doing one thousand paper cranes. Yes, origami paper cranes. And they have a deadline to make the cranes. The reason of this is that roughtly 90% of the work in space is related to assembling, repairing or maintenance of the spacecraft, and much of this work is done while using a pressuriszed suit, with a limited oxygen time (If you run out of oxygen, you are done). When the one thousand origami paper cranes are done, the time to analyze them starts. How does the firsts paper cranes compares to the lasts? If the quality is not the same, and shows deterioration of accuracy, that can imply impatience under stress.
8. Astronauts train to go to the bathroom in space.(Yeah, they have pop training. They are not that smart though.)
9. There was a flying turd incident in Apollo 10 mission.
The Apollo flying turd incident.
Apollo 10 mission transcript, starring Mission Commander Thomas Stafford (CDR), Lunar Module Pilot Gene Cernan (LMP), and Command Module Pilot John Young (CMP), orbiting the moon 200,000-plus when then suddenly see a flying turd.
Have a laugh.
(Source: jsc.nasa.gov)
Ham was the first successful launch of a primate into sub-orbital spaceflight. In 1961 he was known as "Chimp #65" and after three weeks of training he was placed in a Mercury space capsule atop a Redstone rocket and launched from cape Canaveral Florida. His entire trip lasted less than 17 minutes.
The grave is located in New Mexico Museum of Space History and International Space Hall of Fame.

This video is absolutely breathtaking!
We choose to go to the moon
I am not a United States citizen, but people from all over the world was somehow affected by the acts of this outlier man.
This man pushed to get to the moon, pushed to gain knowledge , pushed to challenge, even though he recognized that this act was more of faith and vision, and he did not know the outcomes.
You cannot believe how many things have been developed thanks to the space program, and we use it in daily basis.
Things like: scratches resistant lenses, the shoe insoles, smoke detectors, water filters, cordless tools, satellites to predict the weather, GPS, were developed thanks to the space program.
If I know how to make my way to an unknown place, is thanks to the GPS developed thanks to the space program.
If I have clean water, is thanks for water filters developed thanks by the space program.
Please feel free to reblog and add something you use thanks to the space program.
Here is the whole transcription of the speech

There is no such thing as luck. You need to be fit to cope and look for opportunities.
There is no such thing as luck. You need to be fit to cope and look for opportunities.
This is what happens, when you mix up a disaster, and something good.
It's a strange mix of feelings.

smackfu: "I just don't know how you solve the problem of "the big journal" which is everyone's goal to individually publish to."It's a big problem, but the way to solve that is to submit the good papers to open access journals. That's the whole point of PLoS (Public Library of Science). But in order to get good papers, they need more prestige, and in order to get more prestige they need good papers.
Not only does this mean that the early reviews that can actually introduce you to a science don't exist anymore for most readers, it has ripped my specific discipline in half.1---
In many scientific fields there seems to be an increasing lack of appreciation of the early literature around which the field has grown. As a consequence, junior scientists entering a field, who might be unaware of some of the work of the early pioneers, risk wasting a great deal of time and money asking scientific questions that are baseless or have already been answered.hahaha
To read this article in full you may need to log in, make a payment or gain access through a site license (see right).
Soo... what's wrong with using some of that taxpayer money to pay the publication fee? The money is essentially going to pay for the review and hosting. If you have to spend money to do the research, what's wrong spending a small portion of that to get it reviewed, in order to make ensure it means high standards?"A demand for open access publication should be part of every grant award that uses taxpayers money."
Um, everyone here realises that "open access" journals are not free to publish in, right?

Every year at this time local
anglers and guides chip in tips on lures that are hot, where fish are biting
and how to cope with lots of competition.
Some years Chinook are crowded
into harbour approaches by derby time, some years big fish are piled up
below Owen Sounds Mill Dam and right down the rivers. Most years though,
the majority of spawners are still gorging themselves at derby time, especially
if baitfish schools are plentiful. More bait fish mean bigger salmon and
according to fisheries biologists, more baitfish mean they feed longer
too. It seems that nature puts reproduction ahead of a long life for Pacific
salmon and when a couple of years ago their food source was limited, some
salmon even spawned a year early.
This year, like always, there
will be some early runners but according to Fishin Fever guide Randy Eldred,
the majority of large Chinook salmon are feeding heavily on the schools
of baitfish out in the deep approaches to Owen Sound harbour.
Eldred recommends fishing the
preferred temperature (50-54F) in deeper water in an area reasonably clear
of other boats during at least the first week of the derby. His lure choices
are Silver Foxes and Northern Kings in the magnum sizes. In fact, he told
me, the smaller NK28s will catch fish just fine right now, but their smaller
hooks may not hold some of the really large Chinook to be found at this
time of year.
Sydenham Sportsmens Association
President Richard Manley has the following tips to share:
1. Don't discount shallower
water, between 40-80'. Especially early in the morning or late at night.
2. Increase boat speed a little
bit over springtime speeds, try fishing 2 - 3.5 mph.
3. Try using flashers and
herring strips or smelt.
4. Experiment with colours,
lead lengths etc. if you arent getting bites.
5. Have a very safe and enjoyable
time - remember this is a fun 10 days!
Local angler and tackle store
proprietor Drew Watson pointed out that recent rains should bring some
early runners in close just in time for the first days of the derby, fish
which traditionally strike bigger lures like Lymans and other aggravation
body baits. The stairway to heaven Lyman and the white with black dots
Lyman has been a big seller in his store.
Silver Hook charter captain
Jack Thompson suggests using a 2-3 foot length of 30 pound test line tied
between your lure and mainline to prevent the break-offs so common in late
August, early September. Another good suggestion from the Silver Hook is
to make a trolling pass through Thompsons Hole on the way back to harbour
when the morning bite is over and most of the early morning derby crowd
are taking a break.
Keen rainbow and salmon angler
Lee Strong echoes some of the charter captains observations from his own
fishing experience and also points out that prior to evening low-light
fishing hours, spoons fished on temperature seem to produce the best but
from sundown on, you can do well by fishing higher in the water column,
using less realistic lures. During the recent Chantry Chinook Classic,
Lees boat had good success using silver and blue or silver and green spoons.
Lorne Fletcher was out fishing
Sunday morning in Owen Sound and he suggests watching for weather changes.
He started before first light but caught nothing until 8:30 am when it
began to rain. Suddenly salmon began to feed and other boats joined him
in fishing action as his rod bent with a 27 pound Chinook. The lure the
big hen salmon hit was an NK magnum in orange monkey puke.(sic)
Beside lure tips, the old
fishing basics are still true. Take a sharpening stone or file with you
and make your lures hooks extra sharp before you use them, even if theyre
fresh out of the package. If your line isnt fairly new, dont take a chance
on losing a big prize for the sake of saving a few dollars, get fresh line
on your reels. Use proper knots on your lures and retie after hooking a
big fish. Run your line through your fingers after a day of fishing to
make sure there arent any worn places where the downrigger release holds
the line or where a big fish rubbed his tail. Take a look at your net;
worn sections or broken strands might let a salmon tear its way free. Lastly,
dont forget a derby ticket, someone always forgets every derby. Just this
week in the Georgian Triangle Summer Salmon Derby, an angler caught a Chinook
weighing 34.41 pounds that could have and would have taken over first place.
If only the not-so-lucky angler had purchased a derby ticket.

Why I Listen to Readers of The Kitchn: You Made Me Keep This Slow Cooker Cookbook (and It's Great!)
During The Kitchn Cure, I tackled my cookbook stash, making a pile of books I knew I would never use. I felt good about it, but Kitchn reader mandyh made me take another look after she expressed surprise I was getting rid of one of her favorites, Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Cookbook. This time of year, I wake up every day wanting to put something in the slow cooker, so I can come home to a hot meal. I listened to mandyh and cracked it open, and it's getting more food-splattered by the week.
The Sloppy Joes are on the menu for tonight and, as I type, they smell delicious! I was happy to find an easy, from scratch recipe for one of my favorite childhood meals. The recipe is also heavy on veggies, which is great, because it allows me to feed our family of five on just one pound of meat.
The first recipe I tried — and I have no picture, because I didn't know how good it would be — was Beth Hensperger's California Tamale Pie. It was a hit!
Thank you mandyh and thank you Kitchn readers, because I've learned a lot from you!

Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Cookbook, by Beth Hensperger. Published by Harvard Common Press.
Have you ever revisited a cookbook and been pleasantly surprised?

I borrowed this cookbook from the library and made a few of the recipes from the book. Everything I made tasted great. I meant to buy it but things happened and I totally forgot about it. Thanks for the reminder to check it out again.
Same as above comment. I checked it out from the library and have made a couple of the recipes (ribs really good)...I should buy it too.
This is one of the first cookbooks I ever bought for myself, and it's still one of my favorites. Nice to see it mentioned here! Every recipe I've tried has been terrific, and it's always the first resource I consult when I'm in the mood for chili.
I have several cookbooks that I haven't opened in years. I've sort of developed my own book so I take pages out of magazines or make copies from cookbooks and put them in a binder that is separated by sections (appetizers, salad, beef, chicken, etc.). I really need to go through the actual books and pick out the interesting recipes and that way I don't have a bunch of huge books sitting around.
Interesting. I actually have this book and was incredibly disappointed by the few recipes I tried, I haven't looked at it in ages. I'll have to pull it out again. What else have you made and enjoyed?
I might check this book out! Question? Does it have a lot of cheese recipes? My husband is lactose intolerant and I feel like a lot of slow cooker recipes include cheese or milk.
It's not a lot of cheese recipes. It's a nice diverse set of recipes. There's even recipes for dessert. I made and liked the banana cake which came out light, moist, and not too sweet. Do what I did and borrow it from the library, and peruse the recipes.
Ooh one more question: are there at least a few good meatless recipes? I've been looking for a vegetarian slow cooker cookbook...
Hey, that's me! I feel famous!
I can heartily recommend the Moroccan Chicken Thighs with Chickpeas and Cumin, and the Italian Mushroom and Eggplant Sauce.
@singer, I haven't tried any of the vegetarian recipes - but yeah, as the others say, borrow it from the library and see what you think.
I will have to look into this cookbook, definitely.
On revisiting cookbooks: I have had this one on my shelves for YEARS. It's from 2002, and titled 'The Ultimate Casserole Cookbook - 175 Great One-Dish Recipes' by Barbara C. Jones. Every 3 years I think to myself... i should get rid of that i never really use it... and then i open it and flip through it again and Voila! the reason I bought it in the first place comes back to me. It is chock full of really good ideas. Not many photos, i suspect it was supposed to be a bargain bin style book. But the quality (and simplicity) of the recipes save it from being donated to the library every time. There's a sweet potato souffle i make every fall, and a broccoli rice bake that i make with whatever is on hand. It's always funny how I always forget what a good cookbook it is, think about discarding it, and then rediscover it and make 4-5 recipes out of it, and then put it away and forget about it all over again...
You all have inspiried me to check out some cookbooks from the library and try new recipes! Thanks!
A couple years ago, I did a Cookbook Challenge where I made at least one recipe from every cookbook I had (like 70 something!) within a year's time. True, you can't judge every cookbook by one recipe, but it was good for getting a feel for what cookbooks might be worth tossing, and made me feel a little more justified about keeping the ones I have.
One of the most valuable cooking tips I learned from this site is to borrow a cookbook from the library before buying. I am going to put this one on my reservation list right now.
@lynnie tunis I learned it here, too! Such a good idea.

READING, Pa. (AP) — Police have been searching for a man who allegedly doused a store clerk with gasoline and set him on fire, apparently in a dispute over a woman.
The Reading Eagle reports police obtained an arrest warrant Thursday for 29-year-old Thomas Lopez Jr., of Reading, on charges of attempted homicide, arson and aggravated assault.
Police say Lopez entered the Citi Sub & Grocery Store on April 30 and set 34-year-old Joel Fontanez-Pagan on fire. Police say Lopez attacked the man because he was dating Lopez's ex-girlfriend.
Berks County District Attorney John Adams says the attack was horrific and unlike anything he had ever seen.
Fontanez-Pagan had to be put into a medically induced coma until June 18 as he healed from his burns.
Police say they only recently confirmed Lopez's identity.

The upcoming season of "Drop Dead Diva" is going to be the special guest star season evidently. LeAnn Rimes, Paula Abdul, Clay Aiken, Wendy Williams and Lance Bass are some of names popping up in the roster of visiting roles.
The latest visitor to the set is comic Kathy Griffin. In her episode she plays Kim's sister who doesn't get along at all with Margaret Cho's character which is funny since the two comedians are good friends in real life.
Griffin has been keeping followers apprised via Twitter of details of her visit. "Mornin y'all!" she tweeted just a minute ago from the set. "…been up since 5:30. Nothing like waking up in the dark! But I get to work with Margaret Cho!"
In her down time she's apparently consuming barbecue at every turn, enjoying the delicacies at the Cafe Pig in Peachtree City and Daddy D'z in Atlanta. (She just nibbles and works out a lot, she explained to a follower who asked how she keeps her lithe physique).
After wrapping up here Griffin heads east:

L.C. Smith Ideal GradeLog #3237Shotguns Main Page
Description : A nice L.C. Smith Ideal Grade. The receiver has turned mostly to a silver patina with about 20%-30% original case colors in the protected areas. The engraving on the receiver is as sharp and crisp as the day it was cut.
The barrels retain 90% bluing with some thinning of the blue at the breech end where the gun has been handled and carried. The barrels appear to have been re-blued but all of the barrel lettering is still sharp and crisp. Bores are excellent with only a small dent visible in the left barrel about 9� from the muzzle.
The stocks show 60% to 70% original finish and have seen considerable use, but no abuse. Small cracks are visible behind each lock plate which is typical for L.C. Smith�s. The forend also has a small crack on the left side just forward of the forend iron.
Overall this is a nice straight, honest Smith with signs of hard use but no abuse. With a little TLC to the stocks this shotgun could be a very nice addition to anyone�s gun case.
Make : L.C. Smith
Model : Ideal Grade
Action : Side-by-side
Gauge : 12
Chambers : 2-3/4"
Barrel Length : 28" Chokes : IC/Mod Ejectors / Extractors : Ejectors Stock : Pistol grip with grip cap. Recolil plate.

Should be noted Stony Props has been a pleasure to work with, first it was Antonio with his Carter build, then Steven with his Halo 4 MC build, and now Jim with his Commander Palmer Scout build....
It looks awesome, just for reference my name is pronounced like saying "layered".:) Also the helmet is only half completed. What does that mean? Well there are still surprises left in store for this...
Rightyo! 22 days left till the "In my Hands to take to PAX for Steve Downes to sign deadline" approaches fast.
Starting to get there, the yellow "streaks" I am going to call them, are they part of the helmet or some kind of layer that he just started? Also the paint scheme how complete is that, also visor?
Gather around Spartans, Marines, and ODST's. To make this mission work I am going to need a few things from everyone working on the project.
1)I need updated photos of is ASAP.
2)I need weekly,...
Do you guys have an idea of when the completion date might be, are any of you attending PAX Prime in Seattle this year?(could possibly deliver the helmet to me in person?)
I read this thread every few days.:)
Hi Guys/Gals,
Always good to have the support of the greatest gaming franchise on the planet helping out.
Your 13 you don't know amazing. Remember it isn't about graphics but the story and how the actors "act the scenes" otherwise it would be like an avatar with middle school drama kids acting in it.
I heard you got something from Canada too!;)
Hi 405th Community,
Been awhile, been busy too...but now I am back and trying to help the Charity of Child's Play and I chose Halo to do it, why? Cause we are the best gaming community around....
Finally got some time to get over here and check out the 405th, I should just let you know that my large friend who was taking all the photos of you and vance has challenged me, and rightly you guys...

Evidence is mounting that Daft Punk are announcing their 4th studio album in the next 24 hours.
The EDMSnob twitter claims: "Got some really, REALLY exciting news coming out tomorrow. I'll snapchat a hint before it's announced but thank you guys so much"
They later deleted a tweet in which they refused to answer whether or not it was the Daft Punk album.
On the official Daft Punk website, people can either access it, and see a yellow background with a pink box (this appears from the HTML to be the original code of the red logo site design, with three lines missing,) or cannot get on at all.
As well as Nile Rodger's claiming the album is releasing in March, as well as every other Daft studio album releasing then, the announcement is very likely coming in the next 24 hours. From a marketing perspective especially, it makes sense for Virgin Records to want singles out very soon, for the March release. Daft have always released singles prior to their albums. So, who knows? Maybe we'll have a new Daft music video and single release tomorrow?! Or at least some form of announcement. EDMsnob is a reliable source, and…EXCITEMENT.

"I must be the only gullible husband who ever overheard snippets of surprise-party planning, and believed his wife was having an affair!"A result of a principal character misinterpreting something. In comedy, this often leads to further and further misunderstandings, each more comical than the last, until things get straightened out at the end of the episode. In dramas, the principal character usually exerts much effort trying to prepare for a "showdown," only to discover at the last second it was "all a huge mistake." This trope is one of the basic elements of Farce, but can lead to an Idiot Plot.

Griffin's dominating all-around performance earns Fresno Pacific second Player of the Week
PHOENIX, Ariz. – Fresno Pacific junior guard Malcolm Griffin (Chicago, IL/Hyde Park Academy) has been named the Pacific West Conference Men's Basketball Player of the Week.
The conference announced the award on Monday, Jan. 28, for games played Jan. 21-27. It marks the second straight week the Sunbirds have claimed the award.
Griffin led Fresno Pacific to a 2-0 week with key victories over BYU-Hawaii (92-83) and Hawai'i Pacific (94-87 OT). The Sunbirds have won five straight games, 8 of 10, and completed a season sweep of all four Hawai'i teams over a two-week period at home.
Griffin splashed his name all over the statistical charts during the week. He averaged 25.0 points per game to rank third in the PacWest for the week in scoring, while he also tied for fourth in rebounding after inhaling 10.0 per contest.
If that were not enough, Griffin led the PacWest in assist average, doling out 7.0 per contest, and topped the conference in steals per game with a 6.0 mark. He also shot 85.7% (6 for 7) from the line – tied for 10th in the league.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
My son attended Kinder in 2011-2012 and loved his teacher Ms. Roberson. She is a kind and loving teacher. If you are lucky enough to get Ms. Roberson as your child's teacher then he/she will have a great school year. I cannot say how the school is because after the year ended there was a huge turnover where 40 teachers left because of an everchanging stressful environment. This also resulted in a new principal the following year.
This is a wonderful school and if your looking for a good school,this is it.

Allergies and Chronic Cough: How Are They Connected?
Allergies and Coughing
A new cough that comes on suddenly could be a sign of a cold, infection or other illness that will usually go away in a week or two. But when you seem to be coughing for weeks on end with no relief in sight, it's very possible that you aren't sick but have a bad case of allergies instead.
Please review the following list of ways that allergies and coughing go hand in hand.
- If you're allergic to common allergens such as dust, pollen, mold or animal dander, you may find that just being exposed to these items can be causing your coughing to flare.
- In addition, allergies can cause a condition called postnasal drip, which occurs when mucus from your nose drips into the back of your throat and can worsen the coughing fits.
- Further, once allergies and related postnasal symptoms cause your airways to be sensitive, exposure to a variety of pollutants can further intensify the situation. This explains why things like cigarette smoke, burning logs and traffic exhaust fumes can increase the allergies and coughing combination and make it even worse.
Treatment Options that Exist
You may have had allergies and coughing for so long you've begun to wonder if the problem will ever leave you. The good news is that there're some remedies you can try to help quiet the coughing and give your throat a much-needed rest. (Just be sure to talk to your doctor first, since every cough is different.)
You can try an over-the counter cough suppressant to help control your cough and help you sleep better. Or, you can try cough medicines that thin mucus to make your cough more productive. You should also take steps to reduce your contact with allergens to avoid the reaction. Finally, use antihistamines as needed to prevent your immune system's response to them as best you can and prevent the asthma and coughing link from causing you to lose sleep.
A Last Resort to Quiet Your Cough
When all else fails, your doctor may treat your allergies and coughing by giving you a strong prescription medication containing codeine or other drugs that can help to control the symptoms, especially during times when your allergic reaction is at its peak.

So far just today i have killed over 39 A whiskered bat. I have been camping this mob on and off for 3 days. I have also killed 20 An infected bat. I have never seen him on track. Neither on my rangers track or druids track. EDIT: Add 13 more A whiskered bat. EDIT: Add 17 more A whiskered bat. Also add 10 more An infected bat. Oddly i read a post under a gravid fire beetle by Shuraz that said he went around killing skellies as he put it to get various different named mobs to spawn. I only got The Crimson Bat to spawn after i tried doing that. I went around killing A skeleton on my rangers track. I saw The Crimson Bat within minutes after clearing all the A skeleton on my rangers track. I also saw that Malign had spawned but i was not after him and not surprised to see he spawned either. This was around 2am game time.

Male mosquitoes live only a short time; the primary activity they engage in is mating. Unlike females, male mosquitoes do not suck blood from humans and other animals. Instead, the males feed only on plant nectars.
Female mosquitoes live for about one month, as long as the climate is favorable and plenty of food is available. Males, by contrast, only live for about one week. Females fly much longer distances than males do, as the males do not have to hunt down sources of blood. During the mating process, males emit buzzing sounds that attract females. Additionally, the buzzing sounds help the male and female to synchronize their flight patterns to allow mating to take place. When two males are too close to each other, they are often unable to coordinate their buzzing with that of a female. Because males do not bite animals, they play no role in the spread of mosquito-borne diseases, such as West Nile virus or malaria.
Reducing mosquito populations around homes and businesses is often possible. The most effective way of reducing their population is by removing any standing water from the area. Female mosquitoes deposit their eggs in standing water. While lakes and ponds are impossible to remove, many species avoid depositing their eggs in such locations.
Male mosquitoes eat blood. Just kidding it is the females that eat blood. The male mosquitoes eat plant juices and sugary saps. They don't have the same kind of mouth as the female.
a male mosquito after research like usual, i have piled up the answers and i can therefore refer to a male mosquito as a male anopheles mosquito they do not have direct names.
Male mosquitoes have an average life span of 10 days. Female mosquitoes can live for up to 100 days. Male mosquitoes have small mouth parts for drinking. Female mosquitoes have a
In the female mosquito, the piercing part (called the. fascicle. is formed by the labium, hypopharynx, a pair of mandibles and of maxillae. The latter two are what pierce the skin

No Joke -- Lose Weight in 15 Minutes a Day!
Weight loss ain't easy (duh). But with kids, husbands and tight schedules -- you might as well forget it. But you have 15 minutes right? In 15 minutes -- you CAN make a difference. That's all you need.
Celebrity Trainer Harley Pasternak: Oh boy, do I know about tight schedules. My client, actress Milla Jovovich, needed to drop big time weight in no time (sound familiar?). I helped her lose 62 pounds the right way.
I know it's easier said than done, but my advice to moms is despite the time crunch, you have to make it a priority because, after all, you deserve it.For my clients trying to lose weight, particularly baby weight, I put them on a circuit-training plan that incorporates upper and lower body, abs and cardio into regular 5-day a week workouts.
The 5-Factor Diet plan is designed to be effective with only 25 minutes of exercise a day, 5 days a week. If you're having trouble squeezing in even 15 minutes a day, I encourage you to make use of that time and then look for other ways to make up the lost time, like:
⢠Take a 10 minute walk around the block. If you're in an urban area, why not incorporate it in your errands and walk down to the store and back?
⢠Take your little one to the neighborhood playground. Rather than just sitting on the bench chatting with the other moms, get up and move your body for a chunk of time. (Maybe the other moms will even want to join you!)
⢠Take the stairs more, park farther away and drink plenty of water.
And when you do find time to squeeze in even 15 minutes of exercise, it helps if you tackle some super-effective exercises so you get as much benefit as possible from the workout. Here are a few of my favorites:
⢠Lunges are very effective for toning your legs and backside, and you can do them in your living room while your kid naps.
⢠I'd also invest in a pair of dumbbells (start with 5 lb. weights, and increase the weight when you feel ready).
⢠Make bicep curls, lateral raises, and tricep extensions a mainstay of your regular routine -- you'll feel stronger after just a few days.
⢠Finally, moms always want to know how to tone their stomach area. For this, I'd say simple crunches on the stability ball will get you the most bang for your buck in the shortest amount of time (as long as you keep your body moving during the day, like I mentioned before).
Sometimes the best help for a mom is advice from other moms, so be sure to post what's been working well for you in our Zip Up Your Jeans community group.
You don't have to spend thousands of dollars to take off the weight. Join our Zip Up Your Jeans challenge today! You can start off with a FREE two week trial to the 5-Factor diet website AND enter to win a trip to Los Angeles to train with Harley himself!
I lost 10 ils eliminating eating the snack my kids do and not drinking pop.
i read she said her diet succeeded due to eating artichokes salomon and oatmeals all days -
is that correct - if so - how? these ingredients are not that easy on calories..
i'm starting to lose a little bit at a time by not stocking my office with snacks. I bring my lunch every day and before I leave for work, i make sure i have a healthy lunch, a mid morning banana or fruit of some kind, and a yogurt for about mid afternoon. If I eat the yogurt, it helps with digestion and keeps me from being so hungry when I get in the door at night and want to eat every thing in sight. only 7 pounds so far but it's a start. also, i've incresed my fiber intake.
I have a 9yrs old and still have not lost mid section bulge. Help.
I have a Neuropathy, and both Total Knees replaced in the past year. I also have no Balance, which is a Big problem. What kind of exercise would you suggest. I am 61 years young, and need to lose 10 pounds.
Thank You
Im a mom of 3 kids (ages 14yrs, 9yrs and 4yrs) and Ive got belly fat that I can't get rid of. I don't have a lot to lose though.
I weigh 135lbs now but want to be around 120lbs by summertime….
Would walking every evening help? And for how long?
What can I do?!
Thank you
By the way, Im 34yrs old, and am '3
Nice site! Nice to read. I have got one thing to give about shirts.

By making a deep connection to the present moment and understanding our mind through the practice of meditation, we learn to make friends with ourselves.
Meditation in Everyday Life is a 5-week course that teaches mindfulness meditation and shows us how this practice can improve our daily lives in the most practical sense. We experience what happens when we stop avoiding ourselves and the present moment and practice simply being with whatever is going on in our lives. We learn to cultivate courage and stability in the daily complexities of jobs, responsibilities, relationships, and the everyday desires, concerns and uncertainties we all face. This is the 1st class in the Way of Shambhala curriculum. It offers a glimpse of the Shambhala vision of an enlightened society created through mindfulness-awareness meditation. And how the stability and wisdom cultivated through this practice can expand to benefit the world around us.
*In addition to the program fee, there are two recommended books we invite you to purchase for the class (both books are available in the Shambhala Center bookstore and through all major booksellers):
Class description:
Class 1: Introduction to Meditation: Basic Goodness and Becoming Familiar with Equanimity Class 2: Using Mindfulness and Awareness to Gather the Mind and Work with Emotions Class 3: Overcoming the Obstacles to Meditation Class 4: Willing to Open: The Genuine Heart Class 5: Meditation as a Transformational Tool for Society

By far, most heart defects in children have no known genetic cause. But in this rapidly changing field, doctors are getting more and more clues about the role of genetics in the development of the heart.
This program involves consultation, evaluation and counseling before and after your child is born. You will talk with doctors and genetic counselors about your family risk of having a child with a heart defect. By knowing more about the risks, your family can evaluate the options better.
In many cases, assessing your risk is all that's needed. For instance, the risk of having a baby with a heart defect is 1%, or 1 in 100 children. If you or your child has a heart defect, the risk of another child being born with a heart defect increases. Certain heart defects have a much higher risk of being passed on, particularly:
You may make an appointment with the Cardiac Genetics Clinic at Children's on your own or seek a referral from your primary care doctor.
Depending on the risk factors, an echocardiogram may be done on one or more family members. Blood tests may be performed to look at genetic markers in the chromosomes. Often, we will involve other heart specialists or consultants.
Genetics is one of the fastest-changing specialties in medicine. Our doctors are on top of the latest research through our partnership with the University of Washington Medical School, so you receive the most up-to-date information on risk factors and tests.
The cardiac genetics team includes members of our Heart Center team, geneticists and genetic counselors. The Cardiac Genetics Program team is led by Drs. Mark Lewin, Ian Glass and Aaron Olson.
Together with other pediatric specialists and researchers at Seattle Children's and the University of Washington, the team continues to investigate genetics.

Mayor's Office
Mayor Rahm Emanuel visits with players on the Gwendolyn Brooks College Prep baseball team Monday.
I've been to some scary, desolate neighborhoods in Chicago, but Roseland is not one of them. It has one of the liveliest shopping strips on the South Side, at Michigan Avenue and 111th Street, where immigrant merchants hire "callers" to sit outside their hip-hop fashion stores and advertise deals to passersby. It has a real restaurant -- The Ranch, a steakhouse whose walls are decorated with photos of old movie cowboys, such as Tom Mix and Roy Rogers. It has Old Fashioned Donuts, a classic bakery whose pastries -- especially the apple fritters -- are as toothsome and fattening as any in the city.

|The H.E.S.S. 2004-2005 survey of the Galactic Plane at energies above 200 GeV had revealed a number of pulsar wind nebulae candidates, including the remarkable source HESS J1825-137. Spatially resolved spectral measurements of this source gave the first evidence of an energy-dependent morphology which was interpreted as being due to the cooling of relic electrons cumulated throughout pulsar's history. Also for a few number of sources the asymmetry of the pulsar with respect to the nebula could be attributed to an asymmetric reverse shock from the associated supernova remnant due to inhomogneities in the interstellar matter. Subsequently a class of large offset and relic nebulae emerged as an outstanding new type of VHE gamma-ray source. We will discuss the cases of such nebulae in the extended H.E.S.S. Galactic Plane survey data through an energetic criterion taking into account earlier epochs of pulsar injection as well as through investigation of CO and HI data where relevant to search for inhomogeneities.
