House, Senate disagree on teacher contract bills
The Virginia Education Association, which represents the state's teachers, can breathe a little easier about legislation to overhaul how teachers are hired and evaluated. VEA leaders were alarmed Monday when the House voted 55-43 for a bill that would end what critics describe as a tenure system for public school teachers. Under the bill, sponsored by Delegate Richard "Dickie" Bell, R-Staunton, new teachers and principals would receive three-year contracts instead of continuing contracts – making it easier to fire them. Bell's House Bill 576 has been sent to the Senate and assigned to the Senate Education and Health Committee. But on Tuesday, the Senate killed its version of the legislation, sponsored by Sen. Mark Obenshain, R-Harrisonburg. The vote was 18-20, as all of the Democratic senators opposed the bill and two Republican senators declined to vote. The defeat of Senate Bill 438 bodes poorly for HB 576. That's something of a relief to VEA President Kitty Boitnott. Boitnott called the legislation "a huge, huge mistake." Virginia teachers feel under attack, and some are considering leaving the state to pursue their teaching careers elsewhere, she said. "We won't be able to replace them," Boitnott said. Instead of punishing teachers, she said, the most effective K-12 education reforms would be systemic and would focus on raising salaries to attract and retain high-quality teachers. The association has announced Friday as a "VEA Day of Mourning" or "Black Friday." The group is encouraging teachers to wear black "to illustrate your collective mourning over the attack that has been launched against Virginia's teachers and students by legislators with open disrespect and disdain." As originally written, HB 576 would have put teachers on one-year contracts. The bill was amended to provide for three-year contracts – after the teacher or principal has served a probationary five-year term. Also under the legislation, school boards would adopt an evaluation process based on state guidelines, and student academic success would account for 40 percent of the evaluation. "If we had this when I was teaching, I would've embraced it," said Bell, a retired teacher. During Monday's debate, Delegate Kirkland Cox, R-Colonial Heights, a high school government teacher, urged his colleagues to approve HB 576. "This is one I really want to emphasize for the children," said Cox, the majority leader in the House. "We're kidding ourselves if we think mediocre teachers aren't bad teachers." Boitnott said the idea of a bad teacher is too subjective. "Everybody can probably think of at least one teacher that they had over the course of their career that they didn't think was as effective as they could've been or perhaps should've been, (but) that same teacher may have made a huge difference for another child," Boitnott said. The bill would provide money for training principals to effectively and fairly evaluate teachers. Bell said this is a way to address the VEA's concerns. Cox said the bill was just one example of the reforms needed in K-12 education. "We are naive if we think public education is perfect. We can make K-12 better by passing this bill," he said. Cox's enthusiasm was also met with doubt by House Democrats. Kenneth Plum and Kaye Kory, Democratic delegates from Fairfax, both favored giving more responsibility to local governments and school boards to determine contract and evaluation terms. Gov. Bob McDonnell endorsed Bell's proposal, but Plum reminded the House that McDonnell also has emphasized the importance of local governments throughout the session. "We should be supporting local governments, not micro-managing from Richmond with the idea being that we've been to school, so we know best," Plum said. Kory agreed. She also expressed concern about the future of teachers in the state. "This is not the way to attract good teachers," she said. "This is a way to drive them out of Virginia." Democrats also questioned whether it is necessary to overhaul the rules governing teacher contracts and evaluations. Delegate Jeion Ward, D-Hampton, serves as president of the Hampton Federation of Teachers. She said there are processes in place to help and replace poorly performing teachers. "It is very easy to get rid of a bad teacher," Ward said. Boitnott agreed that administrators "already had the tools and resources to remove a teacher, and shame on them if they didn't do it. That's a broken administration system. That's not on the VEA; that's not on teachers. That's on a system that hasn't been properly implemented." After the measure passed, McDonnell issued a statement to thank Bell for carrying the bill. The governor said the measure is important for Virginia's students. "This legislation will recognize our teachers for their success; provide teachers and administrators with benchmarking and performance measures; and, in the end, yield better results for our students," McDonnell stated. "I am pleased that the House of Delegates recognizes the importance of this legislation that will ensure our students have access a world-class education taught by Virginia's best teachers."

Magic, on ice
Disney's Frozen shines as an instant classic
Disney has spent the past few years in search of that certain something; that 'Disney Magic.' It's been a slow process. From The Princess and the Frog to Tangled to Wreck-it Ralph, the studio took slow steps, welcoming its princesses and fairy tales and musical numbers back into the fold. Every film was an improvement on the last, but none of them had anywhere near the charm or lasting appeal of the early '90s highs of the "Disney Renaissance."
Frozen, by far, is the House of Mouse's best attempt at a new Little Mermaid. > Read more.

Is There Anyone Willing To Go Bigger Than Abramovich?
Filed under: Yachts & Sailing
Could there be a bigger yacht than Roman Abramovich's planned megayacht Eclipse? The Wall Street Journal covers the listing for Everest, a potential yacht, which if built would take the title of world's biggest private yacht. The 200 meter Everest would have 17 cabins plus an owner's suite. The suites would all have private terraces and there would be an outdoor swimming pool, gymnasium, sauna, steam room, cinema and more. The docking area would have room for boats and a small submarine. As the WSJ reports, the yacht would be too big to dock in any standard marina and would have to use a commercial cruise ship terminal. It sounds like if you need this much size it might be more fiscally prudent to just buy and old cruise ship and refit it to your specifications. If you want to build Everest it will cost you 350 million euros.

The Mitt Romney family sued Mexico after using it as a safe haven when they left the United States to flee polygamy laws
Tuesday, July 17th, 2012Did you know that Mitt Romney's family sued Mexico after using it as a safe haven when they left the United States to flee polygamy laws and religious prosecution?
Indeed, suing Mexico after using it as a safe haven put the Romney family on solid financial footing.
In my view, Mitt Romney is no person of Mexican-descent. A Mexican family will not sue Mexico after using it as a safe haven. When the Mexican Revolution broke out, Romney's family fled that, too, and went back to the United States. The Romney family did not help with the Mexican Revolution, nor did they stand their ground and help the new found safe haven. Why does it appear that when the tough gets going, the Romney family has a history of fleeing not only the United States — but Mexico, too? This isn't the only war that was dodged by the Romney family, because Mitt Romney also dodged the draft during the Vietnam War era, and I see a troubling pattern.
For the record, despite what the Romney family says, nobody "forced" them out of Mexico. If the Romney family really wanted to — they could have stayed their ground and fought for what was right.
From the Boston Globe:
After fleeing the Mexican revolution, Mitt Romney's grandfather, Gaskell lost his home and possessions. While living in Salt Lake City, Gaskell Romney ran for County Commissioner ….. Gaskell sued Mexico for the loss of his property and, in 1938, was awarded damages of $9,163. Half of the money went to his son, George Romney, putting the family on a solid financial footing.
Question: Why did the Romney family leave the United States?
Answer: The Edmunds Anti-Polygamy Act which was a law designed against polygamy caused the Romney family to leave the United States.
According to The Blaze:
Miles Park Romney was Mitt's great grandfather, who fled the United States and crossed into Mexico in 1885 to escape religious persecution. There he helped build the Mormon enclave of Colonia Juarez in Chihuahua.
In other words, Miles Park Romney used Mexico as a safe haven when fleeing polygamy laws here in the United States so that later Mexico could be sued by Gaskell Romney.
From the SRE of México:
Twenty-seven years after Miles fled from U.S. government agents and took refuge in Mexico, the Romney family was back in the United States. …. the U.S. government, which had once chased Miles to Mexico due to his polygamy, now welcomed the Romneys and other Mormons to the United States. Congress established a $100,000 relief fund that enabled the Romneys and other Mormon exiles to receive food and lodging. … the case of Gaskell Romney v. United States of Mexico was finalized in Salt Lake City in 1938. Gaskell requested $26,753 in damages. He was awarded $9,163, court records show — a sizable amount in the post-Depression years. The records say that Gaskell was to give half of the award to his son George, helping to set the family on firmer financial footing in the United States.
This migrating, immigration story gets more interesting, because after Mitt Romney made an alliance with Kris Kobach (anti-immigrant crusader who referred to the DREAM Act as a nightmare), we see the nativists stating:
Were United States citizenship rights threatened under the Edmunds Anti-Polgyamy Act?
On 1 December 1879, President Rutherford B. Hayes stated:
The law for the suppression of this offense was enacted with great unanimity by Congress more than seventeen years ago, but has remained until recently a dead letter in the Territory of Utah, because of the peculiar difficulties attending its enforcement. The opinion widely prevailed among the citizens of Utah that the law was in contravention of the constitutional guaranty of religious freedom. This objection is now removed. The Supreme Court of the United States has decided the law to be within the legislative power of Congress and binding as a rule of action for all who reside within the Territories. There is no longer any reason for delay or hesitation in its enforcement. It should be firmly and effectively executed. If not sufficiently stringent in its provisions, it should be amended; and in aid of the purpose in view I recommend that more comprehensive and more searching methods for preventing as well as punishing this crime be provided. If necessary to secure obedience to the law, the enjoyment and exercise of the rights and privileges of citizenship in the Territories of the United States may be withheld or withdrawn from those who violate or oppose the enforcement of the law on this subject.
Indeed women movements have a history of being instrumental encouraging laws just as the Liberal Ladies Anti-Polygamy Society did with the Edmunds Act, and women today continue to be a force to be reckoned with.
Was the Romney family U.S. citizenship stripped when they left the United States?
No one knows yet. And Romney is already reluctant to produce tax return papers even though he happily asks immigrants for their papers.
What we do know is that Mitt Romney has harsh views of immigration when he proudly accepted the endorsement of Kris Kobach. Like his fellow Republican via Russell Pearce (who sponsored the SB 1070 law in Arizona) — Romney supports self-deportation laws, too.
The Romney family wants you to believe they were forced from Mexico due to the Mexican Revolutionary War, but what they are not telling you is that they used Mexico as a safe haven — then sued them even though they collected a United States government handout. For the record and according to the Univserity of Utah media, polygamy was illegal in Mexico, too, but they were tolerant.
So explain to me again how the Romney family won the lawsuit against Mexico again?
Indeed it is correct to say that the U.S. Government bailed out the Romney family in their time of need when Congress voted $100,000 for Mormon transportation and relief (which calculates to approximately 2.5 million dollars today). Yet, this is strange to hear considering Mitt Romney saying he was not concerned with the very poor.
Abusador is a word Mexican-Americans are using to describe Mitt Romney, because we see a pattern of abuse that ranges from Bain Capital to the very poor and voiceless.

I'm really not sure, but I suspect now that the relative sequence is mostly the work of Istvan Majoros. Many of the characters feature crude wacky construction, and look like they're out of an older episode.
Compared to that, Istvan probably did the scenes with Lisa going down the stairs to watch TV with Homer and Bart, too.

Watched Maximum Homerdrive. I don't understand what people don't like about this episode. It has some amazing jokes in it that almost always hit their spot. It's fun to watch Homer get bested in something at which he excels, and to see the first time in his life he's ever full. Homer isn't a jerk in the episode, and I like his relationship with Bart in it. The subplot is...meh. It takes up time, but there's better ones out there. This episode gets an A from me.

People just hate it because it's in the midst of the season with the most "Homer gets a job" episodes at that point. It's a pretty good show.

Maximum Homerdrive
The next episode up for discussion involves Homer indirectly killing a man, taking Bart on a reckless journey, and nearly killing them both before being saved by a crazy plot twist involving a trucker conspiracy which ends with said truckers chasing them. So in other words, it is very typical of the Scully Era. "Maximum Homerdrive" is not a terrible episode, but it is pretty mediocre. There are some laughs to be had, some nice and quick lines or gags like Homer stopping to butter a roll during an eating contest and every Tony Randall mention, but Homer is in his "captain wacky" and "jerkass" modes too often for my liking. From his early and mildly obnoxious destruction of Marge's dinner you know what kind of Homer you'll be getting in this outing. That scene though did manage to have the nice little "didn't I?" at the end at least.
Act 1 is definitely the strongest of the three, primarily after the family go to the steakhouse. We have a nice Mr. Burns gag and Dr. Hibbert flip-flop along with the cow hallucination and all the Tony Randall references. Homer has some good lines like his way of asking if people breathe when discovering Red is dead. Killing Red isn't even the worst thing Homer does in the episode, imo, and I like that he actually remembered him when Bart couldn't in act 3. Unfortunately the episode still has 2 more acts and Homer is already prepared to kill a little boy as we start act 2...
I find that my enjoyment of the way Homer is depicted in many Scully outings like this really depends on the plot and jokes and this one doesn't do too much for me in either area. I actually recently watched "We're on the Road to D'ohwhere" from Season 17 which is another episode where Homer and Bart go on a road trip while Marge and Lisa try and take up some time. If you compare Homer's characterization from that episode to this he really is much more likable and less obnoxious in the later episode even with the scene where he's constantly flip-flopping over loving or killing Bart. Here Homer feels less like a father to his son and more like a pal, a childish one.
The B Plot is extremely forgettable, even moreso than the one from "Lisa the Simpson." Quite literally the only thing I enjoy about it is that it references "The Way We Was" by giving Homer and Marge's song. Of course then I remember the Homer from this episode feels all too similar to the one willing to use a blow gun on his wife next season...and I know I keep coming back to it but really that is my primary reason for not liking this episode. For every good line Homer gets he seems to get an equally idiotic one like talking about divorcing Marge in the diner or trying out a device he just learned about on an old lady. This is the Homer that is so wonderfully parodied in the opening of "E Pluribus Wiggum" and plagues too many Scully episodes.
I feel like I've already repeated myself too much in this review though so let's wrap this up. The animation is very nice but I'll leave that to zartok. Not terrible, but not good - 2/5.

I'll try to do a detailed review later in the day.
It basically sums up this episode for me.
I mean captain wacky about to kill himself and his son.
And all for just ten measly bucks...
Sorry all, I tried to delete Handsome's double post but it deleted both of them for some reason. It should appear in between my previous two and say "you mean terrific?" or something to that effect, shant happen again I hope...
Or maybe I didn't actually double post and it was just that auto update thing.
Perhaps, but it appeared as two posts to me. Regardless, the fault is mine and I apologize.
Oh, it don't matter at all.
I understand completely, although it did seem from your comment and a few others last week when @CousinMerl revealed that Tennis the Menace wasn't chosen it seemed like you guys only wanted to review "good" episodes... (and besides, seeing as you don't like this one and others do it should spark a lot of great debates and such)
I could understand that Comichshow, and I find Tennis the Menace horrid, worse than this easily, you just happened to catch 2 episodes I actually agree with the common negativity for.
EDIT: Your post initially appeared as 2 to me just now before changing to one on a refresh so you might be right Handsome.
Maximum Homerdrive
I think I'll be repeating what Rasp said about the episode. This is a typical Scully Homer gets a job episode with Homer acting overally compulsive at points (Marge's dinner) and just plain dumb (you're Tony Randall!). There were some good moments however with the horn joke and Homer reminding Bart about the purpose of the road trip. The Mr. Burns run was very well done and the Milhouse birdseed joke in the sub-plot was humorous. I also liked the HAL 9000 reference which leads to the ejection of the auto drive device (and good riddance). The auto-drive conspiracy was yet another zany plot device and a sign that perhaps Swartzwelder needed to recharge the batteries and Scully needed to be more critical of what he was getting from the writers.
Other than the Milhouse joke, the sub-plot was bland and seemed to be just slapped on to kill time, there's not much more to say about it.
Overall it wasn't as bad as I thought it was when it first aired (comparing it to the classic seasons that immediately came before it) but it is still very mediocre. 5/10

Ah I forgot the Milhouse joke and I just watched the episode! So I guess the sub-plot had 2 good moments/things.
Also agreed on Dan Castellaneta's normal HAL voice for the navigation system.
I think I liked the Tony Randall stuff simply because of how random it is. Though it probably doesn't speak too well of an episode to say it is the highlight...

I rewatched the episode and did the review yesterday:
Maximum Homerdrive, written by John Swartzwelder and directed by Swinton Scott, aired the first time on March 29th 1999 and is the seventeenth episode of season 10. The main story has the family visiting to the newly opened meat restaurant the Slaughterhouse where Homer goes up against a trucker, Red Barclay, in a jumbo steak-eating contest; Homer loses to Red, who is the reigning champion in the contest but suddenly dies after finishing his steak, and Homer decides to take on the deceased trucker's last delivery to Atlanta, having Bart tagging along with him. Meanwhile, the somewhat disgruntled Marge sets out on a little "adventure" herself along with Lisa, which is to get a new doorbell. This episode definitely feels like it is from the Scully era with Homer going on a wacky adventure; it starts out pretty good with the Slaughterhouse stuff but when Homer starts his brief career as a trucker it dips a bit in quality. As for the doorbell subplot, it's definitely one of my least favorite subplots; it's rather unnecessary and feels like a forced way to have Marge and Lisa in the story as well. I would have definitely have liked if the subplot was about Lisa protesting against the Slaughterhouse but instead, we got this. As a whole, it's not a terrible episode but it's not that good either; there are some pretty funny moments and the trucker story isn't so bad, but it could have been better; it's something of a mediocre episode to me.
Being from the tenth season where the animation was getting better and better, there are some nice lighting effects with the headlights of Red's truck at night there's some good shadowing as well; I also like the mirror effect on the truck's windshield as Homer and Bart watched the movie at the drive-in theater (seen above). The animators also did a good job animating the truck itself. The characterizations are rather good; Marge is portrayed well and Bart is too (I noticed he seems a bit more worked up here at times, even egging Homer to sock everybody at the restaurant), Lisa is pretty much in character too (but it seems like here they forgot how she was taught to respect meat-eaters in 'Lisa The Vegetarian' and mentioned "lousy meat-eating scum" when referring to the ones behind the idea of the Slaughterhouse. As for Homer, he wasn't characterized too well here and definitely feels like something of a jerk who is thoughtless and perhaps overly stupid; one of those moments I'm not a fan of is when he angrily shoves all the food off the dining room table and then defends that move with a "Didn't I?" when Marge says that he didn't need to do that (I didn't hate how they portrayed him in the episode, they just should have made him less, well, wacky and jerk-y here). The rest of the characters are portrayed in a rather good fashion so there's no real problem with them.
I like the lead-in with the Slaughterhouse and the steak-eating contest (the best part of the episode is the first act and the contest itself is probably the highlight) and while the episode dips in quality as Homer and Bart drives off with Red's truck and the unnecessary and poor sublot, it does keep my interest even though it's not one of the best episodes of the season. It's a silly one, but the idea of the navi-box (I call it that) installed in the trucks so that the drivers can just be lazy and let the truck drive itself, is a pretty funny Swartzwelder-esque idea and works quite well. Also, of course, in a Scully-era fashion, there's an action sequence near the end after Homer has revealed the secret of the navi-box to outsiders and the angry truckers are after him; one thing that I find sort of jarring is that they first are hot on his tail and have truckers jump at the truck he's driving and then they are suddenly all many feet infront of him, blocking the way with their trucks; it's just so sudden and poorly done.. Homer then manages to flip the truck over the blockade of trucks and land safely on the other side and driving off; this moment is definitely impossible and some wacky stuff, but acceptable. Two things I like about the subplot is that the tune of the doorbell Marge and Lisa gets is the "Why Do Birds Suddenly Appear" song which is used as something of Marge & Homer's love theme (it's a nice in-joke) and the amusing apperance of Senor Ding-Dong at the end of the episode; otherwise, other than a pair of humorous moments (one of them including Milhouse), it didn't offer too much.
There are definitely some nice jokes, gags and moments in the episode, such as Marge telling Lisa that maybe the animals at the Slaughterhouse don't mind since they might enjoy being the center of attention, Bart saying that he read that cows like being killed, Mr. Burns having several cows killed as he is choosing one of them to eat before changing his mind and only wanting a glass of milk from another cow (cue funny reaction from said cow before it gets put down as well), "They like me because I'm brave", Homer mistaking Red Barclay for Tony Randall after looking back and forth between Red and the pictures of Red and Tony Randall on the wall, "It's an insult, dad; sock him, sock everybody!", the Heimlich maneuver machine, Homer starting to butter a piece of bread instead of starting to eat the giant steak ("Homer, don't fill up on bread!") - (possibly my favorite funny moment from the episode), Homer hallucination that the cows are talking and mocking him ("Lousy drunks!"), the "I died at the Slaughterhouse" body bags, "He called me greenhorn, I called him Tony Randall; it was a thing we had", Milhouse getting attacked by birds because he was carrying seeds, the two Jehovas Witnesses giving up their job to get new lives, 'The Monster That Ate Everybody' ("It ate everybody"), Homer looking and laughing at the squirrel he sees ("Hey, pay attention and stop looking at that squirrel!"), "Your father traded our tools for M&M's again", the navi-box ejecting itself with a parachute to land safely (wacky as hell but fun). Overall, it was a bit funnier than I remember.
All in all, it's a mediocre episode with an okay, yet still entertaining, main plot and a rather weak subplot; Homer could have been characterized at least a bit better and the subplot should have been a different one (such as my Lisa protest suggestion at the top) or scrapped altogether to give more time and development to the trucking story, but they went ahead and churned it out this way. Again, it's not a terrible episode but it could have been better and it definitely suffers from what plagues several of the season ten episodes; it just has that mediocre feeling to it and I definitely feel that there were a bit too many Homer-heavy goofy episodes during this season, many of them being of the wacky adventure kind. Still, 'Maximum Homerdrive' an episode I could revisit in the future so it's not all that worthless, despite not being one of the real standouts from the season.

"Maximum Homerdrive"
Bart with Homer driving Red's truck to make its delivery on time
This episode has never been one of my favorites. It has also never been one of my least favorites. It's always been somewhere in the middle of season 10 and near the middle of Mike Scully's run. It just seems like a typical Scully episode with a wacky Homer main plot and a stupid, pointless subplot. There's nothing horribly wrong with it but then again, nothing is really note-worthy about it either. The first act is defiantly the best while the other two are pretty much equally dull. Characterization was mostly OK with the exception of a few Homer scenes. Both stories had their moments but neither were consistently entertaining.
The main plot is very similar to almost any 'Homer Gets a Job' episode while the subplot is just too much like the painfully dull Vincent Price egg thing in "Sunday, Cruddy Sunday" but I guess that's sort of the joke. The plot is pretty thin but there are a few funny gags, as I mentioned above, in both stories...
* Mr Burns choosing which cow to have killed
* Homer thinking Red was Tony Randall
* Marge and Lisa trying to get the doorbell rung was pretty funny (Especially the Jehovah's witnesses and the pizza delivery guy)
Both stories ended very weakly though with Senor Ding Dong being possibly the worst thing about the episode (and leaving a sour taste in your mouth about the episode) I guess if I had to sum it up I'd say that the episode got increasingly worse as it went on but it's not that bad...
(On a side note, you may or may not find interesting that this aired the same night as the first Futurama episode "Space Pilot 3000"...)
raspberry, how exactly did Homer kill Red?; Red was the champ at the contest so he did like he usually did and ate the whole steak and I'm very sure that he was used to being taunted (maybe, do you mean that Homer taunting him was the reason he was indirectly killed by Homer?).
(Oh, and another thing I like about the episode is how Homer's new cap still has the price tag attached).
Average season 10 outing.
It's a pretty typical Scully episode, with flourishes of Mirkin thrown in (the speech by the trucker at the end, the Jehovahs Witnesses, Homer being distracted by the squirrel).
I can remember seeing the premiere of this one and thinking it was pretty good, but not particularly memorable. Not much has changed.
The b-story is actually one of my favourite Scully ones. It works as good filler, like the Frostillicus one in Lisa the Simpson.
Best Quotes:
Marge: You still haven't told us why Lenny bit you.
Homer: Well, I really gave him no choice. You see-
Mr. Burns: I think I'll take ... Oooh that one.
Mr. Burns: No, he's a bit listless, isn't he? Give me..Oooh, that spirited fellow!
Mr. Burns: He didn't put up much of a fight. Why don't you pick one for me
Mr. Burns: On second thought, I'll just have a glass of milk, from THAT cow.
Homer: What's happening to me? There's still food, but I don't want to eat it. I've become everything I've ever hated!
Dr. Hibbert: This man is dead. Look's to me like meat poisoning .. probably from some other restaurant.
Bart: I want to go with ya, Dad!
Homer: Don't you have school?
Bart: Don't you have work?
Homer: Ah, touche
Marge:.. Lisa you ought to be a doorbell salesman.
Gil: Ah, that's just what I need, another piranha in the tank.
Jehovah's Witness Noreen: Wait, Marlon, I just had a thought. Maybe we're bothering people by trying to change their religion. What if we don't have all the answers?
Jehovah's Witness Marlon: You're right, Noreen. Let's go get real jobs.
Marge: Umm, I would have feigned interest.
Trucker 1: Then we'll have to teach our friend some discretion.
Trucker 2: Yeah, just like we did to Jimmy Hoffa.
Trucker 1: Hey, shut up!
Lisa: Mom, I need to get some sleep. I have a test tomorrow in birds suddenly appear-I mean English.
Senor Ding Dong: Does anyone have any jumper cables .. Oh, you stinking Chevy!
Highlights include the Tony Randall references, the heimlich machine, Homer's hallucination(lousy drunks, I'll show them!), the "truck driving music", Homer pulling his horn(Lousy punk!), Marge and Lisa's unsuccessful attempts at a doorbell ring, Homer and Bart at the drive-in(It ate Everybody, Stupid), The Gassy Knoll, Homer being distracted by the squirrel, and the Autotron bailing out.

Getting a lot reports of these TOP cards being unstable at stock clocks. Couple hours of Heaven and high number of the cards eventually crash. Just a little warning... if you do have one of these please do some proper stability testing to see if your card is one of these bad ones.
Just came here to say the same. The non-TOP seems to be more reliable and overclock to a higher point than the TOPs, of which an unnaturally high percentage seem to be unstable at their stock clocks (and yes they both have the backplate). In this case, TOPs don't appear to be higher binned and actually seem to be worse than the non-TOPs.
No problems on my end just yet ... (of course all i am doing is playing D3 for 8 hours strait and then have a moive open on the other screen)
I was hoping to buy the TOP card in a month or so for a new build... I hope Asus fix the issues by then or I'd have to look for another model/brand...
These cards overclock really well. You just have to be careful of the boost overclocking, as it ups what you set the default by a specific amount... So overclocking to say...1150 core, really means like 1230mhz. http://img.techpowerup.org/120601/BOOMp16701.jpg My benchmark of 3dmark11.
I received the card last Tuesday and I have not found any problem, even after long sessions of play BF3... I dont like to overclock the GPU, this card already runs at its limits. I need to post some pics for this upgrade too !
just get there base model ... (from what some people are saying it is a great card too ...) @adulaamin
Well I got this card on NewEgg as soon as it came out on there. Got it, red screened out of box. Never overclocked it. After looking online figured it was from SpeedFan/Afterburner, so I used it on a clean install of Windows, and still would red screen all the time, just randomly. RMA'ed it to NewEgg they gave me a refund becuase they ran out and they havn't been in stock since. I'm getting really tired of waiting. Anyway does anyone know how this fairs against MSI's PE edition. ASUS is (probably?) more quite and it has that sexy backplate, but I can't wait much longer for it to get instock.
For the RMA part .... hope this helps GPU Tweak Version 220.127.116.11 Fix "The system will cause Red Screen in some platform". 2012.06.05 update At list no problem for me
As far as I was aware when I was looking back at the begining of the month it was the software itself causing it to redscreen, that is just an update that leviates the problem. However I wasn't even using the software and still red screening, as I said i would red screen on a fresh install of windows.
Just so everyone is aware: The TOP version of the GTX 670 DCU II has been recorded to boost past 1137MHz, which seems to be causing the instability and crashing for most users. With the above said, Asus has released an updated BIOS for the card that should improve stability. It can be found here: http://www.asus.com/Graphics_Cards/NVIDIA_Series/GTX670DC2T2GD5/#download I'd be interested to know if this would make a difference in the performance seen in the review for this card.
According to the extremely large thread on another forum all users that flashed to the new BIOS have gotten worse Heaven and 3DMark scores, it basically just lowers the max the cards can boost from what they have seen.
Yes, it will most likely lower the performance of the card but resolve the instability issues some users are experiencing. I mentioned that the reason for the instability is that the cards are boosting past the 1137MHz boost frequency advertised by Asus. In a way, those who purchased this card were actually getting better than advertised performance. Now that the BIOS update is released they should be getting the performance (1137MHz boost) that had been previously advertised by Asus. I mentioned it to W1zzard as I think this would have a fairly significant impact on his review.
Yeah it fixes the over-boosting problem on the top cards, just wish they would fix the problems with the non-top ones.
Hi, there! Have this one GTX670-DC2T-2GD5, since 5 of june. So, out of the box (no overclocking) - Furemark, Unigine Heaven, Diablo 3 - everything's OK! But in Battlefield 3, Battlefield 2 Bad Company - every 30 min(avarage) - hard crush, RSOD, BlackSOD. Help's only hard reset. Top core(max boost) frequency in this games - 1280Mhz! Updated VBIOS from the Asus website: http://www.asus.com/Graphics_Cards/NVIDIA_Series/GTX670DC2T2GD5/#download doesn't help. New BIOS decrease top core(max boost) frequency to 1215Mhz, so as I said before, it doesn't help. Then I decrease top core(max boost) frequency to 1180 Mhz in MSI Afterburner - and problem fixed. I can't understend, why they are published GPU Boost Clock : 1137 MHz, but at this time maximum boost clock is 1280Mhz!? May be they are mean, that GPU Boost Clock : 1137 MHz - is avarage boost clock? What 4? So, imho, the reason of this RSOD/BlackSOD/crush - is toooo much high default core clock. It seems, like ASUS doesn't test their cards. And it's very CRUDE PRODUCT! AFAIK, non-TOP cards doesn't have the same problem. There is no negative feedback about GTX670-DC2-2GD5, with same problem
Except I have had three non-top card and two of them had the RSOD issue and the last one didn't. So yes, they do. ASUS GTX670-DC2-2GD5 GeForce GTX 670 2GB 256-bit G...
Ok, believe you, but % of negative feedback with the same poblem on non-TOP is much lower, then with TOP. And I believe it's your's feedback? So, are you sure, that the prolblem associated only/most with monitoring software, E.G. SpeedFan, Precision X, MSI Afterburner, GPUz??? One more observation. All this overclocked cards: Palit GeForce GTX 670 JetStream 2 GB, ZOTAC GeForce GTX 670 AMP! Edition 2 GB, Gigabyte GTX 670 OC 2 GB operates at 3D Load - MAX 1176 MHz And ASUS GeForce GTX 670 Direct CU II TOP 2 GB operates at 3D Load - MAX 1293 MHz So I think, ASUS overdone in its attempt to be №1

A member of our team will call you back within one business day.
You had a lumbar fusion. During this procedure, your doctor locked together (fused) some of the bones in your spine. This limits the movement of these bones to help relieve your pain. Here's what you need to know about home care following a spinal fusion.
Arrange your household to keep the items you need within reach.
Remove electrical cords, throw rugs, and anything else that may cause you to fall.
Use a walker or handrails until your balance, flexibility, and strength improve. And remember to ask for help from others when you need it.
Free up your hands so that you can use them to keep balance. Use a fanny pack, apron, or pockets to carry things. Be sure not to carry too much at once.
Don't bend or twist at the waist, or raise your hands over your head for the first 2 week(s) after your surgery.
Don't lift anything heavier than 4 pounds for the first 2 week(s) after surgery.
Don't sit for more than 30-45 minutes at a time. Take frequent short walks. They are the key to your recovery.
Don't drive until your doctor says it's okay. And never drive while you are taking narcotic pain medication.
Nap if you are tired, but don't stay in bed all day.
Use chairs with arms. The arms make it easier for you to stand up and sit down.
If you have not yet received instructions about physical therapy, ask your doctor about them.
Check your incision daily for redness, tenderness, or drainage.
Don't soak your wound in water (no hot tubs, bathtubs, swimming pools) until your doctor says it's okay.
Wait 3 day(s) after your surgery to begin showering. Then shower as needed. Carefully wash your incision with soap and water. Gently pat the incision dry. Don't rub it, or apply creams or lotions. And if you feel unsteady while standing to shower, use a shower stool or chair.
Use nonslip bath mats, grab bars, an elevated toilet seat, and a shower chair in your bathroom.
Take your medication exactly as directed.
Don't take nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen. They may delay or prevent proper fusion of the spine.
Wear the support stockings you were given in the hospital, as instructed by your doctor.
Wear your back brace, if one was prescribed, as directed by your doctor.
Make a follow-up appointment as directed by our staff.
Keep appointments for x-rays. They will be taken often to check the status of the spinal fusion.
Make appointments for physical therapy, as instructed by your doctor.
Arrange to have your staples removed 2 weeks after surgery.
Call 911 right away if you have any of the following:
Chest pain
Shortness of breath
Trouble controlling your bowels or bladder
Otherwise, call your doctor immediately if you have any of the following:
Fever above 100.4°F or shaking chills
Increased drainage, redness, tenderness, or swelling at the incision site
Opening of the incision
Increased pain, numbness, or tingling in either leg
Loss of movement in one or both legs

12 Free (Or Almost Free) Ways to Protect the Elderly
by April Borbon
Related Articles |
Helping an Elderly Mom
Financial Assistance for Assisted Living |
Many of us have elderly parent, relatives or friends who we are either directly responsible for or who we try to help out whenever possible. Keeping the elderly safe and secure doesn't have to cost a whole lot. Often, simple little fixes can go a long way towards keeping them safe, healthy and protected.
- Help them pick up their house. Falls are the number one cause of accidental death and injury for the elderly. Something as simple as removing a loose throw rug, moving an extension cord out of the way or storing piles of magazines in an out-of-the-way corner can significantly reduce senior falls.
- Make simple repairs. Broken stair risers, wobbly hand rails, the old recliner with a severe lean, or anything that could cause a slip or fall should be fixed as soon as possible.
- Make sure all safety items are in working order. Test the smoke detector and add fresh batteries if needed, make sure the fire extinguisher is fully charged, and change burned out lights in order to create the safest possible environment.
- Install grab bars if needed, especially by the toilet, bathtub and maybe the bed. These are inexpensive devices that can help prevent falls. One local program in our community provides these free of charge and even installs them!
- Review their medication with them and their doctor at least every year. Some medications can have side effects that can cause dizziness or loss of balance. Other medications can have side effects when used with certain other medications. Be sure the elderly person is aware of these possibilities. Over-medication is another problem that can be helped, in part, by sorting their medications into inexpensive daily pillboxes that are sold at drug stores.
- Encourage exercise! Studies have shown that simple strength and balance exercises can greatly lessen the possibility of falls. Senior exercise classes can be found at local park department gyms, senior centers and sometimes even at local malls. Senior exercise programs can also be found on video and on TV.
- Make sure their home is secure. Install solid door locks and a "peep hole" on the front door. Take their name off of their mailbox as shysters have been known to address the elderly person by their name found on their mailbox in order to gain entrance into their homes. Also, leave a generic message on the answering machine as opposed to the frail voice of an elderly person to discourage telemarketers.
- Encourage them to have their vision checked and install nightlights if they need to get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom; the inability to see clearly is another cause of falls.
- Encourage them to keep up their social life. Research shows that a healthy social life can be a boon to senior health and longevity. Check into local senior programs, senior volunteer programs and senior activities offered by local parks departments.
- Make sure they are protected financially. This may be a touchy subject but reviewing their bills, insurance coverages, and investments is a good way to head off fraud or over-billing. One elderly lady was still paying each month to rent her phone from the local phone company, which was something that had cost a lot of money and had not been required for decades! Also, be sure to have them review their credit report, which is available free of charge on an annual basis.
- Check on them frequently with a phone call, or better yet, in person to make sure things are going well. If they are prone to falling, have them wear a medic alert device.
- Review their future plans. Discuss (obviously in a tactful way) their Will, when they should stop driving, a plan for when they will need assisted living and, if possible, their funeral plans. Talking about these sensitive issues beforehand can alleviate a lot of drama and grief at the time when these plans become necessary.
Obviously each of these tips should be approached with care and respect. The bottom line is to protect the elderly as much as possible, without being overbearing and encroaching on their freedom.

This is a very simple and very delicious recipe! I actually forgot to add th spinach and it was still really good!
Instead of the bacon, I would make it with a few leaves of grilled/roasted radicchio, and a drizzle of balsamic before serving.

By the end of the course, participants should be able to:
Renewable & Non-Renewable Resources is an online course that enables participants to review, analyze, and evaluate opportunities in the rapidly expanding market for renewable energy. In addition to gaining a working knowledge of the scientific, technological, and business aspects of sources of renewable energy, participants will also learn techniques for integration with existing non-renewable resources, both on a large production scale and a smaller scale for use in commercial, public, and private structures. The final project involves planning an installation requiring renewable and non-renewable energy integration.
With direct contact with your professor, who will answer questions and review your work via e-mail, you will have a chance to learn about renewable energy in a personalized setting. You may also have an opportunity to interact with other professionals in the field who will be available for your questions. A discussion board will be available for interaction with peers.
This course is part of a 5-course series: Certificate in Renewable Energy. The goal of the series of courses, and the Renewable Energy program is to equip earth scientists with knowledge to enable them to take the lead in integrated energy projects and programs. An earth scientist's unique training and understanding of the big picture — the global picture — provides unmatched abilities to design, oversee, and promote integrated energy solutions which require bringing together fossil energy, geothermal, solar, wind, biomass, and others.
This course is offered at the beginning of every month. You may sign up for it at any time, and your course will begin the first day of the upcoming month. This course is designed to be equivalent to a 3 credit-hour graduate-level seminar. It is a 4-week online course which consists of 4 one-week units that involve readings, multimedia, guiding questions, and assignments for you to do and to email to your instructor. You will receive feedback from your instructor, and upon successful completion of the course, you will receive a certificate. As part of our five-course Certificate in Renewable Energy program, if you complete this course as well as the others, you will receive 5 course certificates and a program certificate.
Required Work: For each unit, one research project and a short paper that builds on results of the research project, for a total of four brief research projects and four papers.

When project leaders ran the events of ARkStorm through a variety of weather, runoff, engineering and economic models, the results suggested that sustained flooding could occur over most lowland areas of northern and southern California. Such flooding could lead to the evacuation of 1.5 million people. Damages and disruptions from high water, hundreds of landslides and hurricane-force winds in certain spots could cause $400 billion in property damages and agricultural losses. Long-term business and employment interruptions could bring the eventual total costs to more than $700 billion. Based on disasters elsewhere in recent years, we believe a calamity this extensive could kill thousands of people (the ARkStorm simulation did not predict deaths).
The costs are about three times those estimated by many of the same USGS project members who had worked on another disaster scenario known as ShakeOut: a hypothetical magnitude 7.8 earthquake in southern California. It appears that an atmospheric-river megastorm—California's "Other Big One"—may pose even greater risks to the Golden State than a large-magnitude earthquake. An ARkStorm event is plausible for California, perhaps even inevitable. And the state's flood protection systems are not designed to handle it. The only upside is that today, with improved science and technology, the megastorms could likely be forecasted anywhere from a few days to more than a week in advance. Proper planning and continuing efforts to improve forecasts could reduce the damage and loss of life.

Currently, there are 90 Neighborhood Councils in Los Angeles. The Great Griffith Park Neighborhood Council (GGPNC) was officially certified by the City of Los Angeles in June 2002 to represent the areas of Los Feliz, Griffith Park, Franklin Hills, and portions of East Hollywood & Silverlake. This Council has a strong influence over planning issues that directly affect our homes, our favorite restaurants, our streets, our schools, our parks, and nearly every facet of the quality of life in Los Feliz.
Most city councils have a small number of officials who are appointed (Los Angeles city has 4.5% ) and the remaining is elected. Here, with the GGPNC, the numbers are actually quite different, 45% are appointed. That is not a typo you just read, it is an accurate number, 45% of the board is appointed and only the remaining 55% of the members are elected. The problem with this is that the members do not represent an accurate portrait of the community. Most of the members do not have school age children, and thus may not have strong interests in bettering community schools. They are not ethnically diverse to represent the many ethnicities who work, live, eat, and play in the Los Feliz community. The appointed members have been focused on constancy. They are not open to change, as a matter of fact they hope things remain as they have always been…in their favor. What may have worked for the area years ago, is not necessarily what is best for our community now. As the times change, our board members must reflect the times and people of the area. We were surprised to find out that board members do NOT even have to live in the area. Really? ??How would they empathize about problems RESIDENTS living here may face or the joy and pride each resident feels to say they LIVE in Los FELIZ!

Stand-up arcade classic on the iPad
As one of the definitive arcade classics, Pac-Man needs little in the way of introduction. We're sure that many readers can still remember putting quarters up on a Pac-Man machine at the arcade waiting with anticipation for their turn to play. You may also have played on numerous other platforms since the game's release in 1980. Whether you're an old Pac-Man vet or you're one of the few who has never experienced the pill-eating arcade classic, the iPad version is very good, with only a few minor annoyances.

Snooki and JWoww Want Babies, But Deny Double Wedding Rumors
Snooki and JWoww Want Babies, But Deny Double Wedding Rumors
From Ron-Ron Juice to breastmilk: A
Jersey Shore
By Michelle Ruiz
Special Offer
Four months after
giving birth
to her son, Lorenzo, Snooki is ready for another meatball!
"I already want another baby," a lace-and-leather clad Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi, 25, told Cosmopolitan on a recent visit to our New York office. "Jionni and I are building our house right now, but once it's built, then we're going to pop them out."
With fiancé Jionni LaValle by her side, the former
Jersey Shore
starlet gives birth (in a leopard-print top, obviously) on season two of MTV's
Snooki and JWoww
, premiering Jan 8.
Seeing her best friend and former party animal become a mom has inspired Jenni "JWoww" Farley to consider skipping her
to fiancé, Roger Mathews, and going straight to babymaking.
"I was like, 'Screw the marriage. I just want to have kids," JWoww told us. "I just really love Lorenzo and I think I need to give him a friend. Hes just so cute and she makes it look so easy, too."
Snooki will be maid of honor at JWoww's nuptials (date TBD), but don't believe Web rumors claiming the best friends are going to tie the knot in an over-the-top double wedding extravaganza. The following exchange happened when we brought it up:
Snooki: "Hell, no! Wed kill each other!"
JWoww: "Everyone always says that. Have you ever seen
Bride Wars?
Snooki: "That would be us."
JWoww: "Her hair would be green."
Snooki: "Id pop her boobs. Its my day!"
JWoww: "Were going to make our weddings months apart."
Snooki: "I want her wedding to be her day and my day to be my day."
One thing the girls have no problem doing together?
Sex toy
shopping at New York's Museum of Sex.
"We have this one
that makes beats like techno beatsthere are like seven or eight different settings," Snooki shared. "The museum is freaky. They show animal sex. Female monkeys rub their

just got my 50th platinum nascar unleashed.. pretty easy n fun plat
i have about 19 plats and 3000+ trophies hoping to surpass a friend of mine who has 37 plats i have more trophies than him but not plats lol friendly competition
add me to psn if you want and i'll help with trophies.. love em.. LOL
psn is elser1
Well since PSN is back up for CFW users, here is my PSN gamercard. Kind of sucks tbh, but I don't really try earning trophies.
just smashed out plat # 60 in need of real life LOL
On XBL I got about 50,000 achievements. On PSN my main account I got about 3000 trophies. It hasn't been online for the last year so I can't say for exact how many but it did have about 2000 when it was last online.
I now got a 2nd account which is mainly Vita and thats just got 158. Not bad for only having it for about 2 months.


text: Here's a hypothetical question that may come true, however unlikely. What happens if, say, Evvie gets infected and turns into a zombie. She'd be dead so would go into the afterlife and come back, but theoretically there would still be a zombie Evvie. So Evvie could meet zombie Evvie. O_o If you get turned into a zombie I doubt you'd make us remain as a zombie until we get "killed" again, right?
