Something I wrote a while ago
Tell me what you think :)
"Oh my God, you're just using me", she says.
"NO!" I shout back. I try to sound convincing. "I'm not…"
"Uh-huh" She doesn't believe me for shit.
"You're my girl, you know that. You know I got love for you" I explain but she's not listening. Melissa continues talking on the phone to a boy who gave her his number yesterday.
"Yeah, she's totally ditching me for some boy" she says to the person on the line. She turns the other way. She can't even look at me. Damn, now I feel like crap. I haven't seen my best friend for over four months, and I am using her as a decoy so my parents will let me go out, while I plan to leave with Steven. I haven't seen him for 2 weeks, but it feels like 4 months. I'm pretty sure I get the "***hole award", but what can I do, he's on his way. I convinced her to meet me here, but I left out the part where I'm going to leave her by herself in a few minutes.
"You know I love you! Look at me, I love you" I'm screaming at her by now. I want her to believe me. I do love her, I just love him more. I'm making a scene. I don't care that the boys staring think were lesbians. The mall security guard walks by and asks if everything's okay. We nod.
"Yeah, yeah. Okay." She says. "Just go"
I don't stay long enough for her to change her mind. I think of all the times we spent together over the past few years. I remember the year we started going to different schools and how we still managed to spend nearly every weekend together. Once, we ate so much cookie dough ice cream at a sleep over, we both got sick and had to stay home from school the next two days. We were inseparable. Together we have super powers.
"Hey you", he says.
"Hey" I reply. I ditched my home girl for him. But, damn, he's a keeper. His truck reeks of cigarettes. I don't mind, really. He leans over and kisses me sweetly. I smile so big, I haven't been this happy for God knows how long.
"Where are we going?"
"Where do you want to go?" his charming voice questions.
He's not talking about a place I'd want him to take me out for dinner or a nice quiet place for us to talk. Boys will be boys. It doesn't matter that much to me anymore; I just want to be with him.
"I don't know, wherever."
"I know a place" he tells me.
My heart stops. That means he's probably taken other girls there before. I pretend I don't care. I'm with him now. I'm his only. His kisses reassure me.
"Pay attention to the road!" I protest playfully.
"Don't worry about that"
I decide not to. I trust him. He's a pretty good driver for a teen, but there aren't many street lights on this back road. Ring Ring Ring. Someone's calling him. The person on the phone informs him of a party in an hour. The mysterious caller needs a ride. They wonder where he is. Steven doesn't answer what he's doing. He tells the person he'll pick them up soon because he's busy.
"Now… where were we?" he asks.
I giggle. He's corny but cute at the same time. I can't help but think he's adorable. I'm not sure where we're parked but I'm convinced it's heaven.
Passions flying kite high, higher than clouds. My feelings towards him don't lie. Emotions, clothes, feelings everywhere don't lie. I'm finding it difficult to capture the time slipping through my hands like a little girl would to a monarch butterfly; attempting to put it in a mayonnaise jar to cherish forever. I can't help but just stare at him. I could do this for hours if he let me.
"What?" he asks
"Oh shit" he says looking at the time "We got to go pick up someone. We're going to a party, alright?"
"Yeah…that's fine"
I've wondered what it's like to be alive—not just breathing "alive", but living "alive". What it's like to flirt with death. How it would feel to cradle life it self in my hands, and smother its being 'til it surrenders, crowning my living purposeful. Wondered what's it's like to feel powerful. That's what it feels like being in his arms.
We twist and turn throughout series of back roads and dark streets. The night spits us out on a long drive way leading to a large white house. The person who lives here is definitely not bad off. A stunning beauty exits the house.
"Don't say anything stupid" he tells me.
"What?" I ask.
"Hey sexy!" he shouts to the beautiful Barbie
Sexy? I repeat what just happened over and over in my head until I think I'm going to puke. I am instructed to sit in the back seat while miss thing sits next to my prince in the front. How did I get demoted? He tells me her name. Something exotic I can't pronounce, making her all the more attractive. Her smile is gorgeous, showing her teeth. She gives directions to the party. I feel invisible and ugly.
"Babe, do you want to pick up drinks first?" he asks.
"Oh, it doesn't matter. I'm not really feeling good anyway" I answer.
They both throw ugly looks my way. He wasn't talking to me. Shit. I wish I was invisible.
"Your name is babe, huh?" she asks sarcastically.
I choke out a laugh. I mumble a bunch of nonsense and hold back tears.
They keep talking like nothing happened, but I can't focus on their words. I don't think about anything and just pretend this is a bad dream. The car stopped a few minutes ago, but I can't make myself get out of the car. I feel horrible for leaving Melissa at the mall by herself for this son of a bitch I use to call my boyfriend.
"Coming out?" he asks.
He scares the shit out of me. The blackness of night makes it hard to make out his face. He's talking to me through the open car window. I turn away so he can't see my tears. He motions for me to move over as he slides onto the seat next to me.
"Why've you been hiding, stranger? You weren't shy like this in the back of my camper" he says to me, playing like everything's okay.
"How could you. Who the hell is that…that bitch?"
It's hard to make out my words between my crying. He's trying to figure out where the in the world he went wrong. He's clueless. Confused, he searches my face for answers.
"What's wrong? Are you okay?" he asks casually. He sounds more annoyed than concerned.
"Get away from me" I shout. "I'm going home, I'm fricken leaving….I'm getting away from you. Give me your phone; I need a ride home"
He lets out a sigh. He tries to touch my face.
"Awww, babe. You thought that we….you thought you were my…..." He tells me. He stares at his lap. "Okay, I'll take you home. Just give me a minute."

L.A. style is purely danced on 1, in a slot. It traces its evolution from the Salsa explosion of the 80s and 90s with Latin migrants and commercial growth of Salsa music in the west coast. It is strongly influenced by the Mambo, Swing and Argentine Tango styles of dancing. L.A. style emphasizes sensuousness, theatricality, aerobics, and showstyle. The two essential elements of this dance are the forward/backward basic as described above, and the cross-body lead. In this pattern, the leader steps forward on 1, steps to the right on 2-3 while turning 90 degrees counter-clockwise (facing to the left). The follower then steps forward on 5-6, and turns on 7-8, while the leader makes another 90 degrees counter-clockwise. After these 8 counts, the leader and follower have exchanged their positions. Most LA Style dancers are not particular on the quick-quick slow rhythm seen on NY Style or Latin American style.
Major LA Style pioneers are Albert Torres, Laura Canellias and Joe Cassini rightfully deserve much of the credit for the early development and growth of L.A. Style Salsa.[citation needed] Later, such dancers as Alex Da Silva, Edie Lewis, Joby Martinez, Thomas Montero, Rogelio Moreno, Josie Neglia, Liz Rojas,Tropical Gem,Maximo Rea, Francisco Vazquez and Janette Valenzuela are often credited with developing the L.A. style of Salsa Dancing as we know it today.
* The highlighted events in this list are dedicated to Salsa LAon1, others feature it as an additional style.

« Removing Pruning Canes | Main | The Hobbit » April 24, 2008Front Walk CompletedMany thanks to Ron Hawes, Trevor and Zack for getting our front walkway completed! Ron was over at our place several weeks ago and noticed our crappy temporary plywood walkway and asked what the plan was for the walk. Originally I had though about flagstone but he suggested some heavy stepping stones. I recall seeing a similar design at his place when we'd go for meetings at the office so we agreed right away. Basically Trevor dug a path about 8 inches deep then placed the VERY heavy stones with the bobcat forks. Sometimes it took a few tries and some fill dirt underneath to get a stone level and steady. Then after a few stones were in place they backfilled in dirt between the stones to lock them in and tamped down the dirt with the digging bar. Trevor suggested I take a turn with the digging bar and I suggested he get his head out of his ass. The walk looks amazing - Check out the pics! Posted by Stephen at April 24, 2008 10:04 PM |

The Elements of Harmony are only able to be wielded by a select few ponies, with little information on them through the pages of literature.
In a desperate, insane desire to search for the biological process that distinguishes a normal pony from one with the proper qualities, Twilight Sparkle resorts to restraining, analyzing, and destroying the holders of those qualities for her research. All for - according to Twilight - a purpose of "preserving the future".
But how far will her desire to research and preserve Harmony go, and what, precisely, does Twilight plan to achieve as her ultimate goal? For it is a goal that she strives to achieve - whatever the cost.
Fanfic reading done by thegibbie88
Musical-fic version by lazerbem
Vargy: Just read it and I must say, I'm impressed at how this fic evolved from something were gore was the main objective to a fic with an extremely well done plot. There's also the fact that from the beginning of this fic to now, your writing has improved tremendously! It's a pleasure to read a grimdark-gore that is so well written. This is at least how I see it.
FanOfMostEverything: …Anyway, this continues to be one of the most exquisitely horrifying stories on the site. I look forward to Twilight's inevitable comeuppance…In any case, it is with both dread and anticipation that I await the next installment.
IAmInHurt: I learned about the brain from reading a gorefic. Lol
Jaysontaylorblogs: As much as I love this.... I'm going to have nightmares for a few years now....
HELLKRINDER-NOI: I found this story on Deviantart after reading The Experiments of Twilight Sparkle,(which got me into grimdark stories). And I have to say, Im impressed and eagerly awaiting the next chapter(On a random note, don't kill Scootaloo)
Pony of Passchendaele: So...Only grim-dark, nothing even remotely perverted, like "The Experiments of Twilight Sparkle," and I think I know where this could be going, though I will not attempt to confirm as I hate spoilers. I have high hopes and congratulate you on your outstanding work. One of the best I have ever read, I have been desensitized for the last 3 days because of it...I am looking forward to the SATISFYING and COMPLETE ENDING to this wonderful tale.
LadyCobraa: I think it's safe to say that this is the best grim dark pony fic ever.

Colm Meaney is no stranger to the run down Barrytown district of Dublin depicted in The Commitments, The Snapper, and The Van, having grown up near the much mythologized neighborhood. The Dublin native began his acting career at the age of 14, eventually receiving formal training at Dublin's prestigious Abbey Theatre School of Acting and going on to join the Irish National Theatre Company. Meaney eventually graduated to the English stage, working in various London theaters, and then began to audition for television work, mainly landing bit parts in such TV shows as the cop drama Z Cars.
Meaney moved to the U.S. in 1982, continuing to work mainly on the stage, but gradually made the transition into television and film playing small parts and guest roles on a variety of series. He was part of the cast of One Life to Live from 1986 to 1987, playing Patrick London, and then was hired for a bit part on Encounter at Farpoint, the pilot for the Star Trek: The Next Generation series. He was hired again for another part and then given the role of Chief Miles Edward O'Brien, and quickly went from being a bit player to an important member of the ensemble cast. The character was transferred to Star Trek: Deep Space Nine in the pilot for that series, and Meaney became a staple member of the show's cast.

Coldplay are a British rock band formed in 1996 by lead vocalist Chris Martin and lead guitarist Jonny Buckland at University College London (UCL). After they formed under the name Pectoralz, Guy Berryman joined the group as a bassist and they changed their name to Starfish. Will Champion joined as a drummer, backing vocalist, and multi-instrumentalist, completing the line-up. Manager Phil Harvey is often considered an unofficial fifth member. The band renamed themselves "Coldplay" in 1998, before recording and releasing three EPs; Safety in 1998, Brothers & Sisters as a single in 1999 and The Blue Room in the same year. The latter was their first release on a major label, after signing to Parlophone.
They achieved worldwide fame with the release of the single "Yellow" in 2000, followed by their debut album released in the same year, Parachutes, which was nominated for the Mercury Prize. The band's second album, A Rush of Blood to the Head (2002), was released to critical acclaim and won multiple awards, including NME's Album of the Year. They have also come top of the BBC Radio 2 poll of the favourite album of all time. Their next release, X&Y, the best-selling album worldwide in 2005, was met with mostly positive reviews upon its release, though some critics felt that it was inferior to its predecessor. The band's fourth studio album, Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends (2008), was produced by Brian Eno and released again to largely positive reviews, earning several Grammy nominations and wins at the 51st Grammy Awards. On 24 October 2011, they released their fifth studio album, Mylo Xyloto, which received mixed to positive reviews, topped the charts in over 34 countries, and was the UK's best-selling rock album of 2011.

Pentatonix never ceases to disappoint me. This time they covered one my favorite tracks, "As Long As You Love Me" off of JB's new album, Believe, and mashed it up with Katy Perry's "Wide Awake". This group is so deadily because not only are they amazing vocalist/musicians but they have a very full sound and really know how to cover a song and make it their own (vs merely copying the original). Being in an a'capella group myself, hats off to how fast they get these songs learned and arranged! …not an easy task. I'm excited to hear what original material they'll bring on their debut album, but in the meantime I look forward to their EP, PTX Vol. 1, dropping June 26th via iTunes.
P.S. – Avi on the bass x Kev rapping while maintaing the percussion = ill. Salute.

What leads to high cholesterol? Your genes and lifestyle factors may not explain it all. A study presented today at the Canadian Cardiovascular Congress has connected some of the risk for high cholesterol in adults to their mother's cholesterol levels before she even became pregnant.
The key finding: if a mother had high LDL ("bad") cholesterol prior to a pregnancy, her children are almost five times as likely to also have high LDL cholesterol as adults.
"Maternal health and exposures in the womb may be important in modifying cardiovascular disease risks for their offspring," says author Dr. Michael Mendelson, a clinical and research fellow at Boston Children's Hospital. "One exposure that hasn't been explored well is high cholesterol in young women of childbearing age. We wanted to know: does this pose an extra risk for the child?"
The study analyzed clinical and laboratory data gathered from the three generations of participants in the Framingham Heart Study (FHS). This ongoing study goes back to 1948 and led the way to identifying risk factors for cardiovascular disease.
"No one else was measuring cholesterol in young healthy people in the 1950s, let alone young women before pregnancy, so we could leverage the FHS information to look at this issue," says Dr. Mendelson.
The FHS began with an original cohort of 5,200 adult men and women from Framingham, Mass., who had not yet developed overt symptoms of cardiovascular disease.
For this study, the sample included adult offspring of the first and second generation subjects and drew on the maternal examinations prior to the participants' birth.
"What we found was that maternal cholesterol before pregnancy was associated with important cardiovascular disease risk factors among adult offspring," says Dr. Mendelson. "The association was stronger for high cholesterol in mothers before pregnancy as compared to those with high cholesterol after pregnancy."
The study comes from the cutting-edge field of epigenetics, which looks at how our genes can be switched on and off by environmental changes.
"The risk of developing high cholesterol is not fully explained by known genetic and lifestyle factors," says Dr. Mendelson. "Influences which may play a role in turning genes on or off - such as exposure to high cholesterol in the womb - may have a lasting effect in regulating cholesterol levels, even decades later."
The next step is to look at the mechanisms of why this happens, says Dr. Mendelson. Ultimately, this line of research may lead to finding new ways to break the trans-generational cycle of abnormal cholesterol levels and death from cardiovascular disease.
Heart and Stroke Foundation spokesperson Dr. Beth Abramson notes that the research reconfirms the importance of managing cholesterol levels throughout life.
"While the concept of 'turning on' genes is exciting when looking at the mechanisms of disease, it's sometimes hard to tease out whether the risk is passed on through lifestyle choices or genes. Regardless, the implications are serious. We need to manage our cholesterol to protect ourselves and our children."
High blood cholesterol is a major risk factor for heart disease and stroke. It can lead to a buildup of plaque in the artery walls and narrowing of the arteries, causing a condition called atherosclerosis which can make it more difficult for blood to flow through the heart and body.
"Fortunately, we know a great deal about heart disease prevention and how to reverse some of the risks," says Dr. Abramson.
She urges Canadians to maintain their heart health through regular visits to their doctor, being physically active and smoke free, following a healthy diet and reducing stress and excessive alcohol consumption. "We all can manage cholesterol through diet, lifestyle, and where appropriate with medication. Taking medications as directed by your physician can help further reduce risks."

Grapes + Sour Cream + Cream Cheese + Brown Sugar = Sin…
Friday, February 3rd, 2012I wasn't going to post any "bad for you" recipes; but I was looking through my recipe index and came across this recipe. My Grandma used to make it for us when we were kids. The ingredients sound a little strange; but give it a chance and you'll be asked to make it again and again!
I have over the years tried to "lighten" it up by using low fat cream cheese, low fat sour cream and sugar substitutes like Splenda in place of the brown and white sugar. I will post the original recipe the way Grandma made it and you can decide which way you prefer to make it! I am heading to Sunflower and buying seedless grapes as they are 99 cents a pound this week! This salad will be a hit on the Superbowl spread!
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream
1/3 cup sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 pounds seedless red grapes
2 pounds seedless green grapes
3 tablespoons brown sugar
3 tablespoons chopped pecans
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, sour cream, sugar and vanilla until blended. Add grapes and toss to coat. Transfer to a serving bowl. Cover and refrigerate until serving. Sprinkle with brown sugar and pecans just before serving.
Be sure to bring copies of the recipe to your Superbowl party…you will be asked for the recipe!

Do You Remember this Cake?
By danderma | August 8, 2010
I was in Mishref Co-Op searching for some bread when i found those neatly stacked pink and yellow packages…
I picked one up… and i cannot believe i have forgotten all about those cakes! We used to love those cakes when we were kids! I don't remember the last time i had any but i remember the taste well! Thin white vanilla sponge covered with a layer of crunchy pink frosting and cut into squares! I was a child again waiting impatiently to eat that little sugary square!
Do you remember those cakes? Do you still eat those cakes? I put them back promptly… no need for the extra calories but they it felt good to see them again
20 Comments
Hek yeah i remember cake makhbaz el9aba7 — I actually live within close proximity to this 40 year old bakery –
I never knew it actually existed (the bakery) and you can walk into it… i must go visit!
LOL!!! Bravo!!! for putting them back…I'd take them on the intent of wanting my boys to try them ;p and of course I'll end up eating them! Yes I remember these cakes it was a treat when we were kids.
By the way… The other day I sent the driver to Almira for the flavored bread. It wasn't that good. There was hardly any herbs and cheese in the bread. I have to go again myself and order some.
Sej!? Ro7eelhom o ogfay 3la ras.hom … khaleeh yatres.ha lich herbs o cheese! ours was so fragrant o yummy it was unbelievable…
ee lail7en nakelhom lathetheen hehe bas makena nadre ena mawjoden bil dera, nakelhom lama enkon in shalaih 7eta enyebhom min ma5baz in ef7a7eel . thanks for letting us know that they are closer to home
I remember i saw them once in Wafra o once in Dasma co-op years ago… but true it wasn't available in nearby co-ops… you are most welcome
i have never had them
but i saw them on a blog long time ago
wallah weddy ajarrbhom
a7eb l mathee
LooL ana b3d a7eb il mathee… ma an9e7ich you try it it's not really that good… but if you remember it you would relate to it
There is another popular cake at alsabah baker, its kinda squarish and wrapped in a brown paper sheet — Dipping in it in chay 7aleeb with cardamon in a cold winter morning is the closest you'd ever get to a gastronomical heaven…..btw next time buy the cakes fresh from the bakery as the pinkish topping tends to be crusty and soury after sitting in the aisle for few days at the co-ops……
s7 kalamik o il cake nafs.ha mo wayed fresh … i think the other cake was also available! I will try it one day Insha2 Allah
I LOVE IT!!!! My fav!!
LooL 3lech bel 3afiya
i love how u bring back so many forgotten and unforgotten things! i dont remember this though bas shawagteeni..after the diet ofcourse:P
Ma an9e7ich feeh… cake and dessert wise it's not that yum… y3ni awal yom kina yahal kil shay nakel o 7elo but now i wouldn't waste time on it … or calories!
Love them with a cold glass of milk
cold glass of milk… do you dunk them in?
I don't think I have the guts to try it.. never heard of it.. but the color and packaging is scaring me off shwaya!
LooL once upon a time this was a treat for us in the 80′s… i wouldn't recommend it now though
Hehe nice this used to be my mom's favorite cake;)i like it alot sums up my childhood in one taste…
Would you eat it now though? I couldn't eat it the other day :S

Former Girls Frontman Christopher Owens Announces Solo Debut
This summer, Christopher Owens made a surprising announcement that he was leaving Girls, the San Francisco duo he fronted. His departure came not even a year after Girls had released Father, Son, Holy Ghost, regarded by many as one of the best albums of 2011. Owens did promise that he would continue to write and record music, however, and it looks like he wasn't kidding. He recently announced the release of his debut solo album, Lysandre, which is due out Jan. 15 on Fat Possum.
Lysandre is named for a girl Owens met in France, and the album was inspired by Girls' first tour in the summer of 2008. "Lysandre could easily be mistaken as an album about a love affair," said Owens. "But it's much more than that."
Recorded at Hobby Shop Studios in L.A. along with former Girls producer Doug Boehm, Lysandre's 11 tracks were said to have been written in a single creative outpouring. You can stream to of its tracks, "Lysandre's Theme" and "Here We Go," at Owens' website. Below you can check out Lysandre's complete tracklisting.
Lysandre Tracklist
1. Lysandre's Theme
2. Here We Go
3. New York City
4. A Broken Heart
5. Here We Go Again
6. Riviera Rock
7. Love Is In The Ear Of The Listener
8. Lysandre
9. Everywhere You Knew
10. Closing Theme
11. Part Of Me (Lysandre's Epiologue)

RateBeer Archives > Features Beer & Health #7The Montreal Diet
June 30, 2005
Vero Beach, FLORIDA - Move over South Beach; step aside Atkins make way for the Montreal Diet. Heading to Montreal in the middle of July? Here are four tips for keeping three days of beer drinking from expanding your waistline. Feel free to continue following the Montreal Diet once you return to the real world you may even want to throw in a trip to the gym once or twice a week. 1. Pound the Protein. Eating protein all day long means there will be plenty available when your body needs it to make muscle. Regardless of whether youre trying to gain muscle or lose fat, I recommend you consume one gram of protein per pound of body weight every day. So, if you weigh 191 pounds, youll try for 191 grams of protein a day. The rest of your calories can come from the beer (carbs and alcohol) and French cuisine (fats) consumed while in Quebec. When back in the real world, feel free to substitute vegetables, fruits, beans, whole grains and nuts in place of beer and French food every now and then. 2. Eat Every Three Hours. Im still not kidding about this. For most people, thats about six small meals or healthy snacks a day. Frequent eating stokes your metabolism to burn calories and fat and guarantees you get enough nutrients to build and maintain muscle (remember Beer & Health #4?... one pound of muscle burns fifty calories per day at rest). Try to eat protein at every meal or snack. During my twelve hours at Dieu Du Ciel back in January, I ordered food four or five times. Mostly, I ordered the bagel with smoked salmon and capers (lots of protein and good fat). I didnt stress too much about the bagel as I had already screwed up any low-carb plans with all the great beer I was drinking. No worries mates. Splurge! Its RBSG2005! Only another week or so until I finally get to sample Martin Ts bottle of 1992 Belle-Vue Selection Lambic ok, ok, back on track. 3. Dont Fight Fat. Fat isnt the enemy. In fact, your body needs fat to burn fat. While in Montreal, theres no need to count fat grams unless youre already on a calorie restricting diet. However, make sure you incorporate one to three servings of nuts and seeds a day. Ask for peanuts at the pub or place an order for something cooked in olive or canola oil (just ask your server) as almost every restaurant has one or both of these oils on hand. When back in the real world, use these oils when preparing vegetables or in your protein shakes. Hey, its hard to down 191 grams of protein per day via real food so make sure you supplement with whey, egg or soy protein isolate. Also, taking a daily supplement like flax seed oil can be very beneficial and convenient for fat burning. Go with the capsules as flax seeds and flax seed oil taste much like a luke-warm Steelback Tango. 4. Drink Lots of Water. For every beer you consume in Montreal you need to drink one glass of water. Twenty ounces of beer needs to be chased by twenty ounces of water. One of the causes of a hangover is dehydration, so a good practice after drinking ethanol is to replace lost fluids as soon as possible. This will help to ward of some of the after-effects. Make sure the water is ice cold as ice cold water burns more calories and body fat. Why? Hey, great time for a homework assignment. Either tune in to next months Beer & Health article regarding the many benefits of water or use your favorite search engine to find the very definition of calorie for the answer. Supplement of the Month ***Phosphatidylserine*** A double blind study conducted by a trusted colleague shows that this supplement reduces blood levels of cortisol a hormone produced in response to stress. One of the effects of elevated cortisol production is accelerated amino acid catabolism which could lead to muscle break down. Suppression of cortisol levels could theoretically maintain muscle mass during periods of increased stress and intense training. Phosphatidylserine could also be considered a general stress nutrient which may not only provide benefits to those subjected to the physical stress of exercise, but those who are under chronic emotional stress from hectic lifestyles, work deadlines and many of the other stresses of modern life. In addition to preventing muscle breakdown, it is suspected that phosphatidylserine stimulates immune function and maintains brain function, memory and cognitive ability. Of course, these claims have not been evaluated by the FDA as the administration doesnt seem to show any interest in investigating nutritional supplements unless, of course, the supplement in question seems to work well enough to cut into the pharmaceutical industrys profits (i.e. ephedrine). I take 400 mg of phosphatidylserine before and after each workout. Always consult your physician before beginning any supplementation regimen. You have been warned and my ass has been covered! Until next month, as always everything in moderation, including moderation.

Learning about UK Intellectual Property Rights
♫ Wednesday, March 7th, 2012Intellectual property is the collective reference for the intangible rights owned by an individual or business over their non-monetary products. Although intangible, intellectual property (also known as IP) can be sold, assigned, licensed much like ordinary assets.
There are four main types of UK intellectual property:
1. Copyright – copyright is a protection that is automatically granted over someone's own original work, for example written work or art. If the work is copyrighted, then the owner can control when it is published, sold or reproduced and who is allowed to do so. Copyright does not apply to ideas, theories or methods; the work protected must be in a physical and permanent form.
2. Patents – a patent protects an original idea, invention or product. In order to qualify for patenting, the invention or idea must not be currently in use, must not be a scientific theory or method, a method of medical treatment or animal or plant.
3. Trade Marks – trade marks are usually given to individual logos, brand names or distinctive designs. A trade mark identifies something as being legally owned and therefore cannot be reproduced without permission from the owners. A trade marked object should not be currently generically used, make reference to a particular product, make reference to the quality of a product or make reference to a geographical area.
4. Registered Designs – a registered design number is given when an individual or company want to protect an original design. The design must not have been previously published. The registered number gives protection for the design's individualistic features such as colour, shape and texture. The registration must be made in reference to a specific geographical area. Once registered it prevents others from using not only the same, but also similar designs.
These different forms of intellectual property can be registered and protected by applying online to the 'Intellectual Property Office', which is a government owned body.
The benefits of having your UK Intellectual Property Rights protected:
- Copyright: it gives the owner of the original asset the right to start legal proceedings against someone who has used their copyrighted material without being given permission. The presence of the © symbol discourages potential infringers. An injunction and/or damages can be awarded for copyright infringement. Profit can be made in owning a copyright by licensing out or selling it. A copyright can be awarded for up to 50 years.
- Patents: this gives the owner the right to stop others replicating their patented invention. An injunction and/or damages can be awarded for a patent infringement. A patent can be licensed out for a fee or sold. A patent is normally awarded for 5-20 years.
- Trade marks: using the trade mark symbol acts as a deterrent to others before using a trade marked object. It also gives the owner a legal right to take action against someone who uses the object without permission. Those who counterfeit trade marks run the risk of criminal prosecution by Trading Standards and/or the Police. A trade mark can be licensed out for a fee or sold. A trade mark can be awarded for up to 10 years.
- Registered Design: this personal registration number provides the owner with exclusive rights over the appearance of their design. An injunction and/or damages can be awarded for plagiarism of the design without permission. A registered design can be licensed out for a fee or sold. A design can be registered for up to 15 years.

I am also starting August 1st
I am waiting on the transcripts from one of the 2 schools I went to, who suck and are taking a long time. But I have done everything else so I am very excited - Jul 4, '12 by teacherturnedRNThanks for responding to my post, Chaisaci. I'm waiting for one last transcript and am excited, too! Hope your transcript comes in soon!
- Jul 5, '12 by chaisaciYAY! Nice to know a couple others with the same start date! How long do you think it will take you to complete? I have to do the 7 core nursing courses and nutrition, I am planning to do it in 2 terms.
- Jul 5, '12 by teacherturnedRNI think I just have the core nursing courses to take, but I guess I won't know for sure until my transcripts are evaluated. I'd love to finish in two terms, or even one (I've heard that's possible!).
- Jul 5, '12 by rnrules11Quote from teacherturnedRNMy transcripts were "lost" for awhile, but they were finally found and evaluated. I am surprised at how many classes I need even though I have an ADN. After reading through the WGU RN to BSN threads, I was hoping to only need the core nursing classes. They have changed the requirements recently, so I wish I had applied last year. Anyway, probably will be starting Aug. 1st too.I'm on track to start WGU's RN to BSN program August 1st. Just waiting to get all my transcripts in and evaluated. Anyone else starting WGU in August?
- Jul 5, '12 by teacherturnedRNI have an ADN, too - I wonder how many courses I'll need besides the core classes. I hadn't realized they'd changed the requirements lately.
- Jul 5, '12 by myviefolle07Same here, I also have an ADN from CA! My Transcripts haven't been evaluated so I don't know yet! Anyone from CA? Are immunizations required for RN to BSN? I know they require it for prelicensure! Anyone know? If yes then that's missing from my list of things to do!! I just want to start this ASAP. Hoping to get it done within 6months! I am that desperate :P

Collins Hill Wins TOC
Nikki Urbizo
Clay Kallam
Full Court Press
Posted Dec 21, 2006
With the help of players like Nikki Urbizo, Collins Hill dispatched Long Beach Poly in the Nike Tournament of Champions finale and have the inside track on a first national championship.
CHANDLER, Ariz. - Legendary college coach Al McGuire always made the case that the first four minutes of the second half were the most important minutes of the game - and Collins Hill provided the evidence Thursday afternoon at Hamilton High. The Eagles broke open a one-point game with an 18-2 run in the first 4:28 of the third period and, after surviving a belated Long Beach Poly rally, beat the Jackrabbits 75-61 in the championship of the top bracket at the Nike Tournament of Champions.
Collins Hill came into the tournament No. 2 in the Full Court Press rankings and No. 1 in USA Today, with Long Beach Poly reversing positions, so it was fitting that the two faced off in the title game of the tournament that, more than any other event, is likely to determine the national champion. And though
Maya Moore
was once again spectacular (31 points, great defense and big play after big play), the Eagles also got key contributions from
Taylor Dalrymple
(13 points) and Shakeda Richie (nine points).
Maya Moore of Collins Hill
In fact, it was Richie who scored the first two baskets of the third quarter to lengthen a 32-31 lead 36-31, but it was a trio of treys that effectively knocked Poly out of the national championship race. A pair of Moore jumpers sandwiched around
Jasmine Dixon
's drive had put the score at 40-33, still well within reach for the pressing, running Jackrabbits, but then Dalrymple, Nikki Urbizo and Moore nailed three straight three-pointers, and Poly never recovered.
A 7-2 run to start the fourth quarter pushed the margin to 27, and even though Poly showed heart with a 20-2 outburst of its own, it was not nearly enough.
Early in the second quarter, though, it didn't look as though Collins Hill, which lost just once last year, in the finals of this tournament, would need a second-half explosion to win. The Eagles jumped out to an 11-3 lead, and after the Jackrabbits came back to go ahead 12-11, a
Jordan Jones
three keyed a 13-2 run that put Collins Hill up 10. But foreshadowing the fourth quarter, Poly caught fire late to make it a one-point game going into the locker room.
Presumably, that set the stage for a riveting second half, but instead the third quarter turned into the Maya Moore highlight show. She scored 13 points of the Eagles' 29 points in the quarter, and then had five points in the first minue of the final period to seal the deal - despite Poly's late uprising.
Now what's left for Collins Hill is to take care of business in Seattle at the T-Mobile Invitational and then against top Georgia teams like South Gwinnett and Stephenson en route to what the Eagles hope is another state title and a first national championship. Of course, as long as Moore is healthy and out of foul trouble, it's going to be very hard for any high school team to beat her. The long-time observers of the girl's basketball scene who dot the stands at the Nike TOC agree that she is the most dominant high school player of this or any other era. Though
Chamique Holdsclaw
Diana Taurasi
were both tremendous at the prep level, neither played defense like Moore, and neither could win games in so many ways. At this tournament, Moore looked like a WNBA player going against high school girls, and as Mike Teasley of Notre Dame Academy said afterward, "She could do whatever she wanted."
What she really wanted to do was win, and with her, and the four-minute explosion to start the second half, that's exactly what Collins Hill did.
Lorin Dixon
of Christ the King
Christ the King's aura of invincibility, which had been punctured Wednesday night, evaporated Thursday morning when Archbishop Mitty of San Jose dominated the Royals in the first half en route to a 50-37 victory. The back-to-back double-digit losses were the first for the Royals since the dawn of time, and could herald a sea change in New York City basketball. CtK's complete lack of halfcourt offense caught up to the Royals, as only
Sky Lindsay
seemed interested in shooting outside the paint, and Lorin Dixon's forays to the basket were greeted with a host of white shirts.
In the end, Christ the King was exposed as not quite up to the elite level, though still a very good team that no one could look forward to playing. Mitty, however, unheralded except by FCP, showed that it clearly belonged on the national stage. The Monarchs finished 3-1, losing only to Collins Hill, and
Danielle Robinson
proved to be Dixon's match in speed, and exhibited almost as much quickness -and outscored her 23-12. And most important, her team won.
Despite Long Beach Poly's loss, it was a good day all around for California, as Brea-Olinda, Bishop Montgomery, Huntington Beach and Ventura won their brackets, meaning only Collins Hill was able to break the Left Coast pattern. But then again, only Collins Hill had Maya Moore.

OLD FORT - Old Fort School's treasurer Jaime Pearson announced the school can expect to save up to $168,000 on insurance cost next year.
By switching to Medical Mutual, the school district should cut benefit costs by 10 percent. The district had already cut insurance cost by 5 percent from last year's total, according to Pearson.
High school principal Shane Jacoby outlined the beginnings of a program tentatively called BYOD, for Bring Your Own Device. The plan would allow students to use their own electronic devices, including tablets and smart phones, in school for certain lessons.
While teachers and students have already been meeting and discussing the possibility, there are a few hurdles which must be cleared.
Superintendent Jude Meyers said the wireless network could be adapted to address bandwidth and content issues. The program also would take a change in the school handbook to allow devices in school. The district may also have to add new staff to monitor the technology.

Thus, encryption is as old as the written word in some cultures.

As they need customization, private clouds are generally more expensive than public clouds and take longer to set up and use. A private cloud is a proprietary data center that offers hosted services to a limited number of people. Providing a secure environment, cloud computing services are designed to help organizations and individuals to maintain control, value creation, and leveraging the power of private and public clouds.
A Cloud service provider has the tools and is responsible for hosting and maintaining it. Often called "software on demand", shared infrastructure and scalable cloud computing allows consumers and businesses to pay only what they need. Cloud computing is data security where high user data clouds are distributed on different servers, but it also has advantages and disadvantages.
Cloud Storage vs Traditional Storage
In traditional desktop computers, we run copies of the software in our own PC and the data is stored there. In the cloud computing resources of all applications, information and data, on the other hand, are managed in a virtual environment.
Cloud computing in data are stored on multiple servers rather than on dedicated servers in the network of traditional data storage. Broad network access is a key attribute of cloud computing, in that it is based on a network and it is accessible from any platform such as standardized desktops, mobile devices, etc.
Virtualization is at the heart of cloud computing, and it allows efficient sharing of servers and storage devices. Also, it facilitates the migration of applications in the cloud. The "cloud" is actually a virtualization of networks, servers, applications, data storage services and provides access to the request of the end user.
This new advanced and affordable hosting service was quickly adopted by all businesses large and medium-sized enterprises. More than just a trend service, cloud computing is changing the way companies are networked with one another. Companies use cloud programs to manage their human resources, programs customer service and accounting information. The competitive advantage for enterprises large and small businesses is important simply because there is no management involved in this system. Companies can benefit from a scalable virtual infrastructure, which means they can easily adapt their resources to applications as it changes over the business cycle or within a busy season.
Today cloud computing is a revolutionary technology which depends less the geographical location of resources. A cloud hosting is now essentially an infrastructure or a set of shared resources which operate on a data center environment through a distributed network of servers.
Computing resources are also pooled to serve multiple consumers using a multi-tenant. In addition, multi-tenancy enables sharing of resources between the users and the centralization of infrastructure, reducing the operational costs associated with dedicated resources.
If you are looking for a service with greater flexibility and security, there are a lot of cloud computing services at your disposal. Cloud providers deploy software applications in the cloud where users can access the cloud. With reducing operating costs and service, cloud services model also provides lower maintenance costs due to the central location of the system. Whatever your IT needs are, there are definitely advantages to each type of cloud service.

Economist hopes Speaker Dillon looks at study before moving on plan
By Laura Weber, Michigan Public Radio Network
EAST LANSING, MI – A new study shows state employees are making less this year than they were last year, but paying twice as much for their health benefits.
Economist Charles Ballard says the most surprising figure he found while conducting the study was the 11,000 state jobs lost since 2001. He says it's possible the workforce was too bloated at some point, but the state has now cut too deep and must stop working against the remaining employees.
Ballard conducted the study before House Speaker Andy Dillon unveiled his plan to create a statewide health insurance pool:
"I would again say that the Speaker - to urge him to read my study and to pay attention to the very substantial givebacks that have already occurred," he said.
Many state employee groups are concerned their premiums would continue to increase under Dillon's plan. Dillon says he applauds their sacrifice, but long-term government reforms must be made.
