Why did Wilson challenge Pat Burrell? Pedro-fucking-Feliz was on deck, we had the lead, it didn't matter that he represented the go-ahead run…. That was absurd. For all the times our pitchers pitch around guys, and waste pitches and go from 0-2 to 3-2, to decide to challenge the guy who is leading the NL in RBI –with the game on the line– was simply ridiculous. That was un-fucking-believable.
One more reason to fire Bonehead.
UPDATE: Over at El Lefty Malo, I saw that Lowry is still having problems. Let me say it again, anytime a pitcher has a surgery that is considered one of a kind for a pitcher, his career is, in fact, in jeopardy:
…. The left-hander continues to feel tingling and numbness in his left forearm extending down to his thumb, Giants trainer Dave Groeschner said. Lowry underwent a nerve-conduction test Tuesday that showed improved function compared to results before forearm surgery March 8. But Lowry's nerves have not healed and Groeschner said the team will "probably have to shut him down for a significant amount of time."
Groeschner said he will accompany Lowry to Birmingham, Ala., for a consultation with orthopedist Dr. James Andrews on Monday, when the Giants have a day off between series at Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.
"Nerves are slow to heal," Groeschner said. "The doctors feel this will go away over time. We're exploring other options, other medications."
Last month, Giants hand specialist Dr. Gordon Brody diagnosed Lowry with exertional compartment syndrome, a condition in which pressure within his forearm muscles caused compressed nerves and blood flow. Lowry had surgery to trim the sheath surrounding the muscles, which was supposed to relieve the pressure.
I'm sorry, but this is bad, really bad. Nerve damage? Tough break for Lowry.

Oh my. "Over time".
Good that we didn't trade Lowry when he had value and relative health!
I would have done the same thing with Wilson. This game didn't mean shit. None of the games this year mean shit. The season doesn't mean shit if you look at the refuse that populates the roster at any given moment, when it comes to position players.
This was merely a teaching experience for Bochy letting it be known, that at some point, Wilson is going to have challenge guys like Burrell and Howard and Utley in games that actually mean something. The last inning was a pressure cooker kind of inning that comes in playoff baseball, and that was one hell of a learning experience for Wilson. I was particularly impressed as the ball left the yard. Wilson never says a word. He doesnt hold his head or do any of the other stupid shit that so many others do. He never grimaces. He doesn't look intimated or defeated either. He was perfect Rob Nenn, Mariano Rivera redux. He still looked confident coming off the mound as if to shrug and say "you got me on that one, but I got you on the next two"
With a young pitcher who is still learning his craft, you can tell a lot more about his attitude towards himself with the way he handles a blind-side defeat, than a 1-2-3 eight-pitch save with a 3 run lead.
Hey everyone… a must read for Giants fans is up on Fire Joe Morgan. http://www.firejoemorgan.com/ — ripping Tim K. to shreds for his analysis that Fred Lewis is better this year than Bonds would have been. Great stuff…
thanks for the link – I'm a regular visitor at FJM, but that was a great one.
I came in from working in the yard, thinking that the game was over. I turned on the TV and the game's in the 10th. "Hey, Giants are up and Burrell's got two strikes, alright," I thought. BOOM. I just laughed and turned off the TV. Perfect time to enter, perfect time to leave.
What's up with Misch? His line looked okay. And, now I see from Joe that he only had 69 pitches?
Because we're trying to save his arm from injury. "Hey Lincecum! I know you just started two days ago, but get warmed up in the bullpen – you're going in!"
forget that…why was misch lifted after only 69 pitches…2 being mistakes
and the pitch call was all on benjie
ya….happy pete is up next
but the fact remains…happy pete was up next…and he loves a fast ball
but good to see john getting excited by these games…must mean the team is doing some things right
it was a fun game
The pitch call was NOT on Molina, it was on our manager who should have gone out there and instructed his pitcher to pitch around Burrell because Pedro Can't-Hit-a-Low-and-Outside-Curveball-to-Save-His-Life-But-You'd-Better-Believe-He's-Still-Swinging Feliz was on deck.
So all that, all those relievers used, all for naught. And I can't shake the feeling that the bullpen's going to get pummeled (and overtaxed) this series.

Got Bed Bugs? Bedbugger Forums » Introductions
How Did You Tell Your Landlord? Neighbors?
(7 posts)-
Sorry in advance for the length of this post. I've been lurking for a while learning all I could about bed bugs and prevention. Now that I've potentially gone from spectator to unwilling participant, I guess I have something to say ...
We recently moved to an apartment in NYC, and although I haven't actually seen a bed bug, I began waking up with unexplained itchiness and small bites about two weeks ago. Now, because we were moving from an area where these bugs weren't a major problem to the epicenter (and because I have always been somewhat of a bugophobe), I proceeded to learn everything I could and take precautions to prevent them.
I encased all mattresses and box springs (except the master bedroom box spring), used DE around the bed at the old place just in case, purchased my own brand new moving pads to give to movers rather than use theirs, quarantined bags and shoes worn outside, placed nothing on the bed, encased pillows, etc.
I had a plan. I would NEVER get bedbugs.
I called the management company at the new place about a week before moving in and asked if they had ever had any reports of bedbugs in the building. I received an unequivocal "NO". Now I could breathe a little easier. So, the day before moving day comes, and I call to schedule a time to pick up the key. At the end of our conversation, the property manager says that she asked her supervisor about bedbugs and that they had two reports in the past, but they were "taken care of". I asked if it was my apartment or anywhere near my apartment. She said no, that the previous tenants were very "clean". I mentioned that cleanliness really made no difference, and she agreed.
I almost couldn't believe my ears. I had mitigated every risk that I could, but the greatest risk was moving into an infested apartment. Of course, I was told that the problem wasn't anywhere near my apartment, but was that the case? Where they really gone? And once in the building, I know that the little b**tards can travel like the Federal Express.
Moving day came and went. Another week passed-no problems.
Then I saw them.
Three bites in a row on my ankle and another slightly above. I didn't see or feel these until I came in after being out all day, but well before bedtime. These couldn't be bed bug bites. Nearly another week went by with nothing. It must have been a mosquito or a gnat or something.
Then, I had trouble sleeping one night. Kept waking up itchy. Turned on light, but saw nothing. The next night - same thing. I thought to myself, "they're no bed bugs here, that's just crazy".I did not believe my own lying thoughts, but denial is a powerful thing. The next morning, after another less than restful night's sleep, I was drinking my morning coffee, when I felt a bump on the back of my left arm.
S**t! This can't be happening.
I called my husband who was on the way home from a trip with the kids. "It's nothing. Don't worry", he said. Whatever, dude.
Since then, I've gotten several new bites, and I've seen what appears to be blood and/or fecal staining on my new, white sheets and pillow encasements. We've dismantled the bed. Torn the room apart. Looked with a flashlight. We find no eggs, live bugs, or other signs of a harborage. Worse, I'm starting to see the same bite marks on my youngest child. I know they're here, but I have no absolute proof. I bet years ago, people were sent to the "crazy house" for talking about bugs that no one else could see.
Anyway, I need to tell the landlord, but I'm not quite sure how. If we have them, I'll need to talk to the neighbors. I'm afraid that because we just moved in, everyone will assume that we brought them. I hate the stigma.
Based on reading the forum, I hope to get in touch with KillerQueen this coming week for an inspection.
Any advice on how to approach the subject with landlord? Neighbors? How did the experience go? Were they receptive or did they treat you like lepers - especially neighbors?
Thanks folks, and thanks for all the info on this forum.
Note: I edited this post to add other bed bug signs that I forgot to include.
Any other signs besides the bites? Fecal stains. shedded skins, etc? Plenty of threads here on what to search for.
But if you want to go ahead with the inspection now, personally I would have an outside inspection with someone like KQ before notifying either the landlord or other tenants. No sense alarming anyone for no reason
One could argue to to let the landlord's PCO inspect, but from what I've read here the odds are you will get an inferior inspection to KQ. That said, you could have the landlord inspect first, and then call KQ if you feel they didn't do a good job. That's a money issue.
If KQ's inspection shows bed bugs, then notify building management before the neighbors. Best if they take the lead rather than a scattered effort. If management is not take willing to care of the problem -- i.e. inspect/treat neighbors -- then at that point you might speak to neighbors.
But first things first. And really, given the time of the year, you may not have bed bugs at all.
Also, there are a couple of relatively inexpensive bed bug monitors on the market -- passive and active. See links to right for US Bed Bugs. The Bed Bug Beacon (active monitor) works best when no one is sleeping in the room. A good choice if you are going away for a few days. The BBAlert Passive (Passive Monitor) works best when you are sleeping in the same room. Given your concern about bed bugs, these monitors would seem to be a good investment regardless of what the inspection shows up.
Thanks for the advice, Richard. I do plan to have the inspection first, and I'll definitely look into the bug monitors.
I forgot to mention that I have seen what appears to be blood and/or fecal stains on my brand new, white sheets and pillow encasements. Trust me, I've spent many hours reading about signs, prevention, etc. on this and other sites. Until I saw the stains, I was not really convinced. I have found something that may be a skin casting, but it really doesn't look like the pictures I found online. I saved it just in case.
I certainly hope that it is some other insect. I've had reactions to mosquitos, gnats, biting flies, etc. in the past, and these marks don't look like any of that. They are not the bed bug welts I typically read about either. More like raised, red bumps that are larger than a pimple.
I forgot to mention that I have seen what appears to be blood stains on my brand new, white sheets and pillow encasements.
---------------------------------------You might find this link helpful, although like too many things in life, it often turns out inconclusive
Thanks for the link. Looked at the pictures, and my blood stains kind of look like both fresh stains and a processed blood meal. I know they aren't old, because the ones on the sheets showed up the night they were freshly laundered, and the stains on the pillow showed up the very next day after the new encasement was placed on it.
And the verdict is...inconclusive:)
I don't buy the stigma thing. Just be up front, call the landlord, go door-to-door to the neighbors and get it over with.
The more you think it's a stigma to have something that's essentially no fault and untraceable the more so you'll feel it.
If it's just a thing that happens, treat it that way.
I agree with leland.
Don't be ashamed. Go speak to your neighbours! Some of them might have them and not know, it may turn out they are a problem for a long time, etc. Just put your mind at ease.
Also definitely write a complaint letter to the management and get them to cover some of your costs, as they seem to have lied to you (partial truth is still a lie) about their previous bedbug problems.

Nostalgia just PWNED me right now.
, 13th November 2010 at 08:47 PM (261 Views)
I was cleaning up my closet (it was about time), and I found this box full of plastic frogs. I immediately remembered how I played with them for endless hours since I was three. My favorite animal is, and will always be, the epic frog.
I also found these random flash cards with the names of them, and I was laughing my head off for a long time. The "setup" consisted of
-weird name
-random last name usually with Le at the beginning do make it more French. This was so stupid
-an ultra weird second last name.
Here are the best:
First names:
Usually French weird last names:
Weird Last names:
My imagination took up the entire solar system when I was little. Now I just store it on Pluto.
Some actually good ones were a quartet of colored frogs named Strawberry, Pear, Lemon, and Blueberry.

Not easy to find clothes that fit to the Extra Large (XL) body. The majority of clothing sold in the market is to the slim body. Even so, it does not mean he can not appear fashionable. By identifying the assets of the body, highlight strengths and hide his shortcomings, the XL also can appear more fashionable and more slender. This is the tip's :
- Wear clothing in one tone (color). Dress in a dark color like black, navy blue or dark red can give the illusion of slimmer. Even so, forget the idea of wearing a dark but with a shiny material.
- The clothing for XL body size should be dark, but you also can wear bright colors for other details such as necklaces, scarves, belts, shoes, bags, or lipsticks.
- Choose clothing that fits with the size, not too small or too big. Baggy clothing can make you look a mess, while the clothing is too tight will create wrinkles that are not pretty sight.
- Do not buy clothing made from stretch except for underwear. Clothing made from stretch like lycra or jersey will give a very disturbing effect. Other materials to avoid are rayon and silk.
- Wear underwear made of lycra. The XL needs strong support in there for the view can be obtained fast.
- The XL needs extra height in order to appear more proportional. The easiest trick is to enhance the body using high heels or wedges.
- No sweaters! Long coat or jacket fit body is a more appropriate choice for the XL body size.
- Do not wear clothing with contrasting color combinations. Such clothing will make your body seem cut and look more broadly.
- Wear clothing that is simple but still cool. Balloon-shaped skirts, ruffle detail drapes or excessive, the body is not a good friend for the XL body size. Your body will look even bigger than usual.
- Do not follow the trend of wearing leggings or patterned tights because it will make you bigger. Select only leggings / tights plain.
- If your jeans are too tight across the butt, change your panty with stockings for butt feels more free. How, scissors until the remaining parts dark stockings alone. Wear panty hose as a replacement earlier.
- Begin collecting materials and pants cut low rise jeans. Pants this model falls right in the hips, and not to cut the stomach and the body side. Your buttocks became more appear smaller. The XL should avoid pants that narrowed at the bottom like the harem pants or pants with a wide hem.
- Face to divert attention away from the body, because it is wearing make-up and smile with sincerity. A cheerful face is the best accessory for you.

Wireless Internet Access
Wi-Fi and Plug-in access to the Internet from patron owned laptops, PDA's, and other devices are available in all branches. This access shares a T1 (1.5 MB per second) connection with many of our public computers.
Only normal Web-based (http, port 80, and https, port 443) traffic is permitted. You will need to use web mail clients such as Hotmail, GMail and Yahoo! Mail to send email using our connection, although you can use a POP or IMAP mail client such as Outlook and Eudora to retrieve your messages. We have blocked the sending function so that no one can use our open connection to send junk email. Chat, VPN, and other types of Internet connections are not available. Printing to the Library's printers is not available from Wi-Fi devices.
Use of this service is provided to enable "client" communications only. Running of server software, including web servers, e-mail servers, or kazaa-type file servers, is strictly prohibited. All users must adhere to the library's Internet Use Policy or face a loss of privileges and possible prosecution.
RCN generously provides the T-1 level (1.5 MBs) Internet Service free-of-charge. The Town's Information Technology department provided funds, support, advice, and expertise to enable the Library to use this Internet Service.
Plug-In Internet Access
The Main Library has standard Ethernet RJ-45 and electrical jacks available in many areas of the building for you to plug in your own device and get on the Internet. The enabled jacks are labeled "Plug-In". The Internet service is the same as our Wi-Fi. This service is not available in the branches because of the lack of wiring. You can send print jobs from your wireless device while in any of the Brookline libraries. Normal charges apply.
Full-Internet Computers
These library-owned computers provide full, unfiltered Internet access and are located in the adult areas of all three branches. Because of their popularity, we require signup with a library card. Use is limited to 30 minute sessions, but there is no limit on the number of sessions and sessions are automatically extended when no one is waiting. In addition to the Internet, these workstations also provide Microsoft Office XP Professional (including Word, Excel, Access, and PowerPoint), Windows XP and MS Office XP tutorials, and seven Magic School Bus programs.
Printing to vended (15 cents per page) black-and-white laser printers is available. You may open your files from or save your files to any of three locations: a CD-RW drive (only at the Main Library and Coolidge Corner), your own USB "flash" drive, or a shared public folder on a network server. You must provide your own removable media. Files stored on the shared public folder are accessible to everyone in our buildings, from any computer. There is no privacy, no security, and no backup procedure. We reserve the right to clean out this folder as needed, although staff will never delete documents, spreadsheets, or other obvious user-created files that are less than a week old. However, there have been instances of other patrons deleting other people's files within minutes of their creation, so we strongly recommend that users of our computers bring their own removable media and save only to that. Because floppy disks are unreliable and easily damaged or erased and because saving to CD-RW discs can be cumbersome and difficult, Library IT staff strongly recommend that the public use USB flash drives (aka memory sticks, thumbdrives, jump drives, etc.). The Library will probably begin phasing out floppy drives in the near future.
Sound and multimedia: We do not provide headphones, but you may attach your own pair to a jack on the front of these computers for sound. We have installed some standard plug-ins for multimedia (Flash, Quick Time, Real Player, Windows Media Player, Acrobat Reader, Java), but we make no guarantee that all such media will play well on our computers. We do not encourage the use of our computers for streaming media presentations and large media downloads because of the adverse impact on overall network performance. At some point, we may have to throttle or even block such uses.
Reference Computers
These computers are located in the Main Library Reference and Periodicals Rooms and are intended for research and information retrieval. Their Internet access is filtered to prevent access to games, e-mail, chat rooms, bulletin boards and similar web sites, so that they are more likely to be available to customers with specific information needs. We realize that some bulletin boards and the like may have great research value, but to use those resources you will have to sign up for one of our Full Internet computers. Microsoft Office is installed on these computers. Printing and file-saving options are the same as for Full Internet computers.
Although we block most games from running on these computers, we do allow the use of Solitaire and a handful of other games that we use to teach mouse skills in library computer training classes, so that students can practice.
These computers are limited to two-hour sessions.
OPAC (Catalog-Only) Computers
These computers provide access ONLY to our Online Public Access Catalog as well as the specialized reference databases to which we subscribe. Microsoft Office is not installed on these computers, but WordPad and Notepad are available for note-taking and most word processing functions. Printing and file-saving options are the same as for Full Internet computers. These computers are available throughout all of our buildings, including the Main Children's Room.
Teen Room Computers
These computers are identical to Full Internet Computers except that their Internet Access is filtered for adult content. Only teens age 13-18 may use these computers between 2 PM and 6 PM.
Children's Room Computers
These computers are identical to Full Internet Computers except that their Internet Access is filtered for adult content, language, and violence. The desktop and Internet Explorer toolbar have been slightly modified to enable easy access to popular children's web sites, homework helper sites, and children's games. MS Office and printing are available. The Main Children's room has some headphones available by request at the Desk, or you may plug in your own.
Low Vision Computer
We have dedicated one computer at the Main Library for the use of limited-sight and blind patrons. This computer has Full Internet access and Microsoft Office as well as the specialized software packages, JAWS and Kurzweil 1000. JAWS is a screen reader: it reads aloud menus, commands, hyperlinks, and text to help blind people use complicated software packages such as Microsoft Office and Internet Explorer and to navigate web pages. Kurzweil 1000 recognizes and reads text from books, magazines, or newspapers placed on a flatbed scanner. Both Jaws and Kurzweil 1000 make extensive use of keyboard shortcuts and are quite complicated to use. Library staff can get you started using the software but cannot provide extensive training; for training, you should contact the Carroll Center in Newton.
The Main Library's Low Vision Computer is in a private study room and has speakers attached. Since use of the adaptive software is sporadic, we do make this computer available to seeing customers, with the proviso that they agree to surrender the computer immediately if someone with a need for the specialized software comes in. Generally, seeing customers are limited to 15-minute sessions on this computer; customers who need the assistive software can have one- or two-hour sessions.
Scanners: We have a Scannx Book ScanCenter available for public use. This scanner is very easy to use, featuring touchscreen controls and the ability to print or save to email, Google Drive or a portable USB drive (not provided).

F1 discussion
an italian journalist won a barcellona lap with alonso on a ferrari. When they were ready to go into the track alonso sees mark gene in another car leaving the pits, so they start racing! gene is able to get away first! but alonso (without helmet or gloves) tries to catch him all the way until he goes off at La Caixa and both he and the journalist can't stop laughing! Alonso excuses himself at the end.
Excellent find!! Such a competitive beast!! That journalist just had the ride of his life!!
Thanks for sharing this. I used to despise him, but after last season really opening my eyes to his skill and stuff like this, I just like Alonso more and more and more. You can tell he is hauling A**!!!!
Avanti avanti avanti. Awesome video, but who was he looking at and lauging. Was he racing with another driver? Massa maybe?
I said it was Marc Gene, Ferrari test driver.
and it was a Ferrari 458
Wasn't it de la Rosa in the other car? This is the view from Pedro's car.
Well, it was the journalist onboard with Alonso who said it was Gene, he could be wrong. And this video is not the same lap as the other video, they don't match. Probably this was the next lap with guests.
the "battle" with de la rosa is even funnier with his massive spin. this was his reaction after hahahahahha I'm liking this stuff so much because i just cant picture hamilton or button being let loose to have fun like this. their handlers would be too worried about the health and safety brigade or setting a bad "example". thats notwithstanding massive burnouts i've seen hamilton doing in assorted amg's. :)
hahhhahha… that last video… when asked what he despised doing the most…. I could almost feel he was going to say pr work! lol
The inside view from Fernando´s car when racing De La Rosa!!! Awesomeness!!! I disapprove of the lack of safety belt…
Another race between De La Rosa and Fernando…. the video is switched and seems it´s a different race because Alonso does not spin in this one!!! Awesome job these guys have!!!!
@catracho504 In the autosport.com there is a video between Massa vs Alonso…but i can't see it :.((..you have to pay them to see…did u find this in youtube???..i'm searching but didn't find it
here is the link: http://plus.autosport.com/premium/feature/5168/autosport-rides-with-massaagainst-alonso/

Black Honeybush Blend by Custom-Adagio Teas
You told me once that you weren't a assam. There were times I didn't even think you were tea. But let me tell you this: you were the best blend, the most English… English Breakfast that I've ever tasted, and no one will ever convince me that you were bitter. So there. I was so thirsty, and I owe you so much. But, please, there's just one more thing, one more thing, one more miracle, Sherlock, for me. Don't be… dull. Would you do that – just for me?

Patient Reviews ?
Overall Rating:
Total Ratings17 |
Total Reviews10 |
I will be brief. Dr. Overn has a 'God Syndrome'. His attitude comes across as condescending. When I tried to discuss a problem I had with how he had spoken to my wife, he was insulted that I would try to discuss his office demeanor and walked out on me. I could not believe it and I believe his office staff must apologize for his attitude often. He has misdiagnosed simple maladies causing multiple returns to his office. He does not respect women or their female medical challenges. I will not let this person touch my children again! How he stays in practice must only be attributed to a lack of quality GP's in McKinney.
I've been a patient of Dr. Overn for over a year now and he's done a wonderful job. Usually at a Dr. office I feel like cattle being herded. I feel very welcome here! The staff is very friendly and…
After reading some of the comments on this post I would take a wild guess and say a few of them are from the same person who expected to to walk in, and get a magic pill to cure what ever issues they were having. My personal experiance with Dr. Overn has been acceptable over the past 5 years. I do not like being on medication but it has become clear to me that I do not function well with out it. We have tried on and off the med's as well as other options. Haveing experince in the world of insurance and after dealing with many dr's all I can say is find one that works for you. If you think Dr. Overn is more concerned with cosmetic than family medicen, then find a Dr. that better suits your needs. Do not expect the Dr. to change on your behalf. Good luck out there to everyone, when it comes to health care in this country we are currently doomed.
After 16 years I have had it! Overn's (he does not act like a doctor) staff is what saves him. He cannot speak to his patients...he speaks DOWN to them. He comes across as thinking he is better than you. Does not listen nor does not show any empathy for his patients! He may impress some, but we have known him long enough to get away from his pitiful arrogant attitude. If only someone of authority would enlighten him that he is not God!
Don't go to him instead find another doctor. He doesn't care believe me. I went to him and he did nothing to help me get well. If I didn't have the sense to find another doctor 3 days later I would have been in the hospital or even worse dead. I found another doctor and she gave the medicine I needed to get me well. He told me I had a virus, ended up I had bronchitis and the start of Pneumonia. If you go to him good luck to you believe me you'll need it.
Not happy at all. As someone else previously mentioned, I went in with painful sinus congestion (cold related) and rainbow colored mucus and was only told to do salt water rinses. I already know that.. I asked for something else. He said what do you want? Then proceeded to say as he was walking out the door "keep your germs to yourself." Very offensive.|I am typically a very healthy person and don't go to see doctors often for little things. Not worth the time off work or even the bill being charged.
Very lousy. I scheduled a physical a week in advance. I fasted and showed up early. I spent 20 minutes filling out their paperwork and then I waited patiently for another 20 minutes. Then I was called over by an attendant who informed me that they lacked the competency to validate my insurance. To make up for this lack on their part, they wanted me to pay up front and out of pocket. I told them to forget it and I walked out; Overn is fired as my doctor. The correct, and only, thing to do in such a case is for the doctor's office to assume the responsibility of contacting the insurer whenever they are able to, however they are able to. The smart thing for the office would have been to acquire my insurance information over the phone and validated it in advance.||Two other items: first, the privacy disclosure is 5 pages long. Every other doctor I've seen has had about 1/2 to maybe 1/5 pages. It's preposterous. Second, part of the paperwork states that if you are being seen for a physical, Overn will not address any specific problems you are having. If you are being seen for a problem, Overn will not give you a physical.||I did not even SEE the doctor, that is correct. Is Overn good at medicine? Beats me. He fails utterly as a doctor because 1) the business is poorly run, and 2) it suggests a deficiency in ethics to restrict patients to either get a physical or discuss a problem, never both.
I would not recommend Dr Overn to anyone - He does not listen to his patients and is more concerned with the aspect of cosmetic medicine (botox, etc..) than real medicine. If you have a real medical issue to be diagnosed I would suggest a different doctor
I have been Dr.Overn's patient for several years. Was forced to go to him initially because there were only a couple of doctors in McKinney in my health insurance network. He is all the other reviews state, being a bit aloof when it comes to patient compl
Dr. Overn is very observant of what is written in your charts. My son had been treated by several doctors for a "wart" on his toe. Dr. Overn decided to do a biopsy and found out it was melanoma. He has done the same for my overall health. Sure he has bran

YETI Cooler??
I think I want a yeti cooler after having another marine cooler break hinges and not really latch all that well after the first month. Are they worth the money? Is there anything out there as far as a deal? Thanks |
As far as toughness goes, of course the Yeti is a good cooler to go with. As far as what holds ice the longest, like previously mentioned Coleman Marine coolers keep coming out on top everytime soneone does a side by side comparision on them. You mention your previous ones keep breaking, have you looked into just replacing the hinged? They do make replacement parts readily available at most Sporting goods stores.
I had looked the replacement hinges and thought, another 3 months is all that $15 would buy me. I also thought that I wanted one that latches fully closed, not some plastic friction nipple that wears out.
I couldn't believe the coleman side by side ice lasting you tube videos you guys pointed to. Coleman doesn't even have a latch like the igloos did so I have avoided them, but looks like I should search for the coleman marine coolers now. Also, the Engel looks to be a better cooler since it is a little cheaper than the Yeti's. Thanks so far for the info and I guess I am trying to find any 5-7 day ice guarantee cooler. - Craig |

First Impressions
Upon unwrapping, the first thing that stood out was the differennce in colour. The UK Mars was much lighter than the US Milky Way.
We cut some pieces to share and compare and could see there was less caramel in the UK Mars (on the left on the cross-sections above) and more chocolate on the sides of the US Milky Way.
The Winner
There was a clear winner on the taste test, the US Milky Way was much better. We could taste the chocolate, caramel and nougat whereas the UK Mars was bland.

If you are like me, you are loaded with mixed emotions about the forthcoming The Day The Earth Stood Still remake. Part of me is like, sigh, WTF, the original is so awesome, Keanu Reeves is a class-A douche, Fox hasn't made a good "genre" film since X2, and who the hell is Scott Derrickson? But then I look at the trailer and I'm like.....I dunno. Giant glass spheres attacking New York. How could this NOT be cool?
So maybe I'll see the movie just for the spheres.
The man behind the spheres is production designer David Brisbin, and the groovy people at i09 just posted a really neat chat with him about the look of the film. Check it out to see what he says about the design of the ships, countering what we saw in the first movie and about Gort. (But he doesn't really say anything about Gort, don't get too excited.)

Supporting Farmers in Scotland Since 1893
Should small-scale capital expenditure projects be made a SRDP priority?
Would you buy a CD of the songs from the SAYFC 75th anniversary concert?
Is Sandyford Clover 10 the outstanding dairy cow of the century so far?
Should 'significant' sums be moved from the direct farm support pot into the rural development one?
Will Defra's 'convergence' decision make Scottish farmer more likely to vote Yes in next year's referendum?
Well, what a privilege it was to be part of the SAYFC Stayin' Alive@75 concert, what an unbelievable night and just the perfect way to mark this landmark occasion in the organisation's history.
I did not think Defra, at its worst, could have done Scotland more damage than Owen Paterson did a couple of weeks ago with his handling of the CAP reform uplift of circa £200m that Brussels allocated to Scotland in order that its policy of EU convergence would be closer by 2015.
THE RECENT divergent opinions expressed in the pages of this publication about EBVs surprised me.
A RECENT press release from NFUS got me thinking about the reality of leadership.
Decisions, decisions, decisions - when there aren't any smart ones, you just have to pick the stupid one that you like best.
SIR, - I have always enjoyed Jim Brown's contribution to the debate in The Scottish Farmer, but am wondering if last week he was just a bit over the top with the politics.
SIR, - The SNP's White Paper repeats Richard Lochhead's promises that an independent Scotland would automatically become a new member of the EU and that European farmers are queuing up to give up part of their CAP cash and hand it over to Scottish farmers.
SIR, - The Scottish Government has been typically bullish in its analysis of the recent announcement of CAP payment distribution.
SIR, - There was so much to get het up about in The Scottish Farmer last week that I have yielded to the temptation to put in my penny's worth.
Sir - On reading last week's issue, I was flabbergasted at the comments made about me by someone called Jim Walker, who I presume is some former spokesman for a body called NFUS.
THE EUROPEAN Commission has to be well used by now to criticism from its auditors - not least because for 19 successive years they have refused to sign off what are effectively its annual accounts.
AS THE ink dries on the CAP reform deal finalised by the European parliament last week, the focus in member states is on implementation.
BIG NUMBERS are always impressive.
WHEN THEY look at the English plans for implementing CAP reform, most farmers in Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales will be relieved that devolution exists.
IN POLITICS, administrations often seem to be either gearing up after an election, or closing down in preparation for the next one.

Price of ice rise
Jul 04, 2012 , 1:47 PM by Vicki Kerrigan
The price of ice is going to rise because of the carbon tax.
So says a Darwin icemaker that stood beside the opposition leader Tony Abbott in Darwin and raised his concerns about the impact of the carbon tax on refrigeration costs.
Take a listen to Michael Geenan, Darwin based ice maker as he raises his concerns but he is also unable to explain how much a bag of ice is going to rise by.
You can follow this conversation by subscribing to the comment feed for this post.
The Australian Refrigeration Association ( www.ausref.org.au ) would be happy to assist any end user of refrigeration equipment to explore genuinely climate friendly cooling solutions that reduce exposure to the carbon price, by both saving electricity and avoiding the HFC levy through the use of natural refrigerants such as ammonia, CO2 and hydrocarbons.
Ice makers are in a fortunate position of having a range of solutions to choose from. If anyone is using the HCFC R22 in their machines, this is being phased out quite apart from the carbon price on HFCs, and the opportunity to leapfrog HFCs and shift to future proof natural refrigerant solutions is readily available.

City residents will likely have a chance to sound off on the mayor's Vikings stadium plan in the coming weeks, following a push for hearings at Friday's City Council meeting.
The last-minute agenda update, which appeared to catch Council president Barb Johnson by surprise, was introduced by the most vocal opponents of the mayor's plan to redirect existing hospitality taxes to stadium construction and operations: Gary Schiff and Lisa Goodman.
Schiff said because of the advance notice that is required, a hearing likely would not take place for at least two weeks.
"The City Council shouldn't make spending decisions with closed door meetings and signing form letters," said Schiff, referring to seven letters of support presented to the governor this week. "Today's Council action means we will have public hearings, and the public will finally have a chance to speak on the proposed Vikings stadium subsidies."
Goodman said determining whether the plan triggers a charter requirement to hold a citywide vote could be a crucial discussion point. The mayor's office argues it is not because the taxes are merely being reclaimed by the state.
"The important thing to know is that the public should have the right to comment to the City Council with regard to whether or not they think the use of sales tax in Minneapolis – that would need to be approved by the Minneapolis City Council – constitutes a Minneapolis tax under the charter," Goodman said. "And I would guess there would be some lawyers who perhaps would have legal opinions on that side of it as well."
The action Friday referred the discussion to three committees -- Community Development, Ways and Means, and Intergovernmental Relations -- but it remains unclear whether there would be three hearings or one.
IGR Chair Elizabeth Glidden, also an opponent of the plan, said the timing of the hearings depends on "if it's moving [at the Capitol] and it looks like there may be a hearing in one of the House committees."

A special group of World War II Fighter Pilots are sharing memories.
The 86th Fighter Bomber Group Association held its annual reunion at the Air Force armament museum this afternoon.

The group entered combat in July 1943, and flew missions from bases in Italy, France and Germany.
"Lest we Forget" is the theme of this year's reunion, remembering those who never came home.
"About 25 percent of our pilots were killed in action and in our reunion we remember them most of all."
The 86th Fighter-Bomber Group has received two presidential unit citations.

Tried to make today a "run fast" day. Ended up running fast and then walking some sections. The Big Hill was a walk-up and then I got stopped at the stoplights a lot. When I was running fast, I was around 8 minutes per mile which is pretty fast for me! I like this route but the major road at mile 2.5 and 4 is a pace killer. Gotta find an alternative that doesn't cross that road!

Research Focus/Background
Prof. Sacco's research focuses on synthesis and use of advanced materials, and on integrating biological and physical systems. Presently, he is investigating the production of quantum wires using titanosilicates. These are to develop atomic wires that use light instead of electrons for information storage, and for nano and microcircuits. In addition, he is investigating using bacteria and yeast for trace gas detection (parts per billion) by integrating these living systems with high performance semiconductors. The hypothesis being that these biological/physical systems will self-repair and self-calibrate, while performing a task. They can be used to monitor and help control ethylene (use to mature plants and flowers) to increase plant stability. They also can be used to monitor pollutants in environmental sensitive areas.
In addition, Prof Sacco is developing a new method of photocatalysis to help destroy harmful bacteria and funguses in the production of foods. This technique uses multifunctional materials (materials that activate on contact with an electrical circuit) to produce radicals to destroy harmful contaminates. Use will be in close food production and close loop live support systems on submarines and spacecraft. Prof Sacco is also actively involved with the production of compound membranes for use in fuel cells for automobiles.

Halloween Loves – Glow in the dark roses!
We love halloween in this house. Sometimes I think we should be American because we could go crayyyyzee with all things Halloween'y, but, we're not.
That doesn't stop us doing pumpkins, dressing up (kids not me) and generally going a little spooky. (GG was actually due on halloween but she came 3 weeks early, I had SO many birthday party plans for her…!)
So when a huge bunch of glow in the dark roses appeared on my doorstep last week from Interflora, everyone was excited about them, usually it's just me that loves flowers in this house. (Are you listening husband? Peonies, white roses, lilies, I'm not too fussy…)
Normal, white avalanche roses by day, turn the lights out once it's dark and they glow. Now tell me, what is cooler than that at Halloween? I think all flowers should glow in the dark personally, it would mean I could see them 24/7!
Available for a limited time and priced at £44.99 these are a bloody brilliant idea for the grown up party, or even just as a present with a difference.

Post subject: What Kind Of Bit Is This?
My mother and I have been collecting bits for as long as I can remember. Not necessarily fancy or expensive bits, but ones that are unique or ones that we dont have already, some just hang up in the tack shed but some are used.
This brings me to my question. A few years back, we were at a house auction that had some horse tack on it and came across this odd little bit. No one there knew what kind it was, including us. We bought it for a few bucks and brought it home. It has stayed in the house ever since then, being a topic of discussion for any horse person that stops by.
Many of you have had a few more years
of experience than me, and I value your opinions a lot!
The top and bottom shanks are the same length, covered with a piece of leather that slips on and off.
Here is a picture, any comments, ideas or any info on this bit would be much appreciated!

I've never seen such a thing, so I asked wiser people as well and got the answer.
It's an elevator bit. I'm sure there's info online about why anyone would put that in a horse's mouth.
It's never the horse, it's the rider.

Well let me tell you JR, I feel pretty relieved that it wasnt just my young ignorance.
And I will be darned if I didnt find the exact same bit online for $50. Even though we will never use it, it was a pretty good buy.
I did a little research on it and came up with this information:
THE bit has a snaffle mouthpiece with long shanks that attach to short cheekpieces. The shanks lift the bit higher in the horse's mouth while applying poll pressure. The lower the rein is placed on the shank, the more severe the leverage. When pressure is placed on the reins, the bit rotates in the mouth and applies pressure to the poll.
"I think it is a western bit primarily that can be used for English-style riding as it has a lot of leverage," said Lucy Nicholas from The Saddlery Shop in Devon.
"The leather coverings on the metal shanks are there to prevent rubbing."
THIS bit is suited to strong horses. Graham has used the elevator bit successfully on Huron Des Gerbaux, who he describes as "a bit of a tank", for three years.
"The elevator can be a useful schooling aid to teach a horse to respect the rider's hands. However, it should only be used by experienced riders as it can be quite severe."
JR, Thank you SO MUCH for you information!!

Yep, an elevator bit. A very useful tool for a horse that likes to drop his head and lug down in the front instead of giving to your hands and collecting. Not something to use on an experienced horse, but again, useful for a horse that does have experience and is trying the avoidance technique. It's a bit that should be used only when necessary, for a brief period of time, say one or two schooling sessions, then go back to his regular bit. Rinse, repeat if necessary. Not a bit to be used by heavy, unsteady, or inexperienced hands. Requires light, light, light hands.
The way it works is the longer the purchase of a bit, the more poll pressure is applied. A horse's natural instinct is to move into pressure, thus causing him to raise his head and his shoulders. The long shanks are not so much what causes the leverage, but the fact they are straight. The straighter the shank on any bit, the more immediate action and reaction you have. It's worked wonders on my big guy who drops his front end to try to get out of doing his job properly. I've used it four or five times, but not had to use it in the last two or three years.
Its not what you put on his head, its what you put in it.

From your description, I can see how it could be useful. But at the same time, I can see how it is misused a lot too.

Yes this is an elevator bit; of I think Jimmy Williams fame. Jimmy Williams was a H/J trainer out here in CA and he had quite a lot of good ideas. The principle behind the elevator bit is that there is actually "no leverage" because the length of the purchase and the length of the shank is the same ratio. Because of the way it sits it applies pole and chin pressure as well as pressure on the bars and across the tongue. It should be used with a chain chinstrap. These bits work great at lightening a horse up, the trick is to find the release point which if you don't have a lot of feel you might as well not use it. I know some people will argue that it has "leverage" but leverage bits work on the assumption that the shank is longer than the purchase. This is not the case with elevator bits.

Tensas River National Wildlife Refuge Reforestation
Afforestation and Restoration
3,741 acres (1,514 hectares)
United States – Louisiana – Madison Parish
Validated conformance with the Climate, Community and Biodiversity Standard 1st Ed., Gold Rating: April 1, 2009 - March 31, 2014 (RA-VAL-CCB-010429); Validated conformance with the Voluntary Carbon Standard 2007.1: April 1, 2009 (RA-VAL-VCS-010622)
This project is designed to restore native bottomland hardwood forests in the Lower Mississippi Alluvial Valley. An area once covered in dense forests, the Valley now supports less than 20 percent of its original forest. Historical conversion from forest to corn, sugarcane, and cotton cultivation greatly reduced the presence of bottomland hardwoods. The remaining forest areas are highly fragmented. This afforestation project will restore bottomland hardwood forest within the boundaries of the Tensas River National Wildlife Refuge and create more viable habitat for over 400 species of mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and fish that call the refuge home, including the critically endangered Ivory-Billed Woodpecker.

Cirque's 'Ovo' set for United Center this summer; 'Madagascar' headed for Rosemont.
The Cirque du Soleil officially announced Wednesday that its latest touring production, "Ovo," will pitch its tent (as previously reported) astride the United Center, with shows beginning June 30. Tickets are already on sale to Cirque's members.
Meanwhile, Dreamworks Theatricals (the producers of "Shrek The Musical") has booked its family-oriented production of "Madagascar Live" into the Rosemont Theatre.
The 90-minute show, scaled as a lower priced attraction for the family market and based on the "Madagascar" film series, will play Rosemont from Mar. 16-20 as part of its national tour. This is Dreamworks Theatrials' first foray into the family-theater market.

XpoLog: Built for Home Grown Applications
When DZone asked what distinguishes XpoLog Center from other log analysis platforms, Koschitzky said, "Most logging tools out there are either focused on manual viewing of logs or creating a specific set of reports on common applications. XpoLog is built for application management and testing of home grown applications." Koschitzy explained that Xpolog is a non-intrusive log analysis platform. He said, "No changes to application code is required, no instrumentation, and no impact on performance. No files are locked and/or deleted. XpoLog can be deployed in testing and production with minimum impact and configuration time."
An important feature of XpoLog is its integration with Jira. Jira integration makes it easier to manage the life cycle of problems from the monitoring level in testing and production. Koschitzy said, "From XpoLog it's easy to open new issues in Jira and attach log snapshots with information on exceptions, problems, and bugs." In Jira you simply click on the link to your snapshots to view the problems that occurred in testing or production. XpoLog also integrates with Ant, JUnit, and open API for testing tools.
One of XpoLogs newest features, is the new XpoLog Dashboard beta, which is an analytics console that summarizes application, log, and server problems over time in one view. Koschitzy adds, "The dashboard scans all log types and identifies risks and root failures with unique analysis and statistical modules.
"The automation is key technology," says Koschitzy. XpoLog provides good manual anaylsis with log viewer and search engine tools, but the real time saving is done with the automatic analysis. The automatic tools scan logs and search for exceptions, error codes, annotations in the logs, and more. The automatic tools send alerts on recognized problems but can also recieve customized rules for problem alerts. XpoLog's testing tools build a unique errors index for the tested applications. Koschitzy says XpoLog's automation capabilities help developers prioritze problems. "By identifying problems, and creating analysis reports automatically on application logs, developers get a summarized, informative report on errors that were generated during unit test and night runs, helping them to focus on critical problems first, save manual work, and increase productivity," said Koschitzy
DZone asked Koschitzy what new features we could expect in future XpoLog versions. "XpoLog is set to deliver more features for web application transaction analysis and more capabilities to manage applications in the cloud. We are working on better integrations to development tools and testing tools and well."
More information and a free trial can be found on XpoLog's website.

Taking the form of a BBC documentary about slavery in America, C.S.A. traces the history of the Confederate States of America, beginning in 1863 as the Southern States turned the tide in the War of Northern Aggression when, with the help of British and French troops, they won a decisive victory at the Battle of Gettysburg. Two years later, Ulysses S. Grant surrendered to Robert E. Lee as the Confederacy emerged victorious against the United States of America. As Abraham Lincoln and many other supporters of the Abolitionist cause fled to Canada, the Northern States were gradually absorbed into the Confederacy, and the right to own slaves became the uncontested law of the land. Over the course of the next 150 years, the Confederate States of America grew to become the most powerful nation on Earth, and persevered through wars in Spain and Latin America that expanded Confederate territories, and stood tall against Japan thanks to an alliance with German leader Adolf Hitler. In the present day, the Confederate States of America remain a power to be reckoned with, despite foreign pressures to eliminate the slavery programs that are the economic backbone of the country, a long simmering "cold war" with Canada, and the ongoing conflict against the Muslim Menace. Featuring staged interviews with "noted historians," mock newsreel footage, and inside-out versions of present-day news and entertainment programming, C.S.A.: The Confederate States of America received an enthusiastic reception in its screenings at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Critic Reviews
Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star
By slyly nudging both history and the language of television, this mock documentary about an America won by the Confederacy ... manages to be both shocking and strangely banal in equal measure.
Rick Groen, Globe and Mail
The satire comes to feel strained and the whole premise gets awfully precious, reducing social subtleties to cinematic simplicities.
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
A sometimes incisive, sometimes amateurish look at race in America, the things we do and tolerate as a nation that are really no different from an America ruled by unrepentant slave-holders.
Ann Hornaday, Washington Post
A piece of well-crafted righteous indignation.
Tom Keogh, Seattle Times
[Writer/Director] Willmott could have easily stumbled over his own cleverness but, as with the rest of the movie, his fantasia is intellectually rigorous and makes for stimulating debate.
