So Beautiful Lyrics - Darren Hayes
Review The Song (18)
Whether I'm right or wrong
There's no phrase that hits
Like an ocean needs the sand
Or a dirty old shoe that fits
And if all the world was perfect
I would only ever want to see your scars
You know they can have their universe
We'll be in the dirt designing stars
And darlin' you know
You make me feel so beautiful
Nowhere else in the world I wanna be
You make me feel so beautiful
Whether I'm up or down
There's no crowd to please
I'm like a faith without a clause to believe in it
And if all the world was smiling
I would only ever want to see your frown
You know they can sail away in sunsets
We'll be right here stranded on the ground
Just happy to be found
You make me feel so beautiful
Nowhere else in the world I wanna be
You make me feel so beautiful
I have lost my illusions
I have drowned in your words
I have left my confusion to a cynical world
I am throwing myself at things I don't understand
Discover enlightenment holding your hand
You are..
So Beautiful
Yeah darlin' you know!
That you make me feel so beautiful nowhere else in the world i wanna be
Yeah you made me feel so beautiful

I heard this song the 1st time on Channel V, and then I looked for it right away. I don't remember how many times I've listened to this so-beautiful song, and every time I always feel blissful. I'm loving it!!!
@my honey:someday, I'll sing this song for u! u know what? "u r so beautiful"
track of tears | Reviewer: shai | 3/19/10
When I couldn't express through words what I feel about certain things, Darren Hayes help me through his beautifully written songs. His songs not only melt my heart but makes me feel good about myself like this song and 'Affirmation'. He is one of those people who make music NOT just for the heck of it.
Love you Darren Hayes and thanks for your music.
So Beautiful, Indeed. | Reviewer: Toria Brennan | 7/19/09
I LOVE Darren Hayes. He writes the most beautiful songs, that have so much power and soul in them and they are always from such a different perspective and this particular song is a prime example of that. The man understands love better than any other singer/song writer out there. With this song, it is the honest-to-God truth about what its like when you REALLY love someone. You don't care about what they look like or how much money they make. You're happy to be with them, even when they're sad, or whenever the circumstances get nasty, hence the "Beautiful Frown" line, as well as being stranded on the ground.
Personally this song affects me because my fiance is currently in Afghanistan and what I would give to be with him right now. Even in bad circumstances. Thank you, Darren Hayes, for being you and God Bless you, you little Angel in disguise!
Brilliant song | Reviewer: Sonja | 10/20/08

'Black Nativity,' 'Best Man Holiday,' Madea and parties galore
- Written by Myron Mays
In the midst of what is turning out to be a very busy holiday season, I have somehow found time to catch a couple of movies! As far as the African-American moviegoer is concerned, this holiday season has been very nice. We have at least three major films that are geared toward "us" that will be in theatres by Christmas day.
Of course, the first was "Best Man Holiday," which was a great film that I'd go see again and you should see at least once. Then there was "Black Nativity," which opened this past weekend and stars Jennifer Hudson, Tyrese, Angela Bassett and Forrest Whitaker. Not quite the blockbuster that I hoped for, however, it still was a really good film.
"Black Nativity" had a lot of good moments, most of which came with music. If you watched the trailers, it should have come as no surprise that this film was actually a musical. If you get to check it out, be sure to pay close attention to Mary J. Blige's scene where she sings. That had to have been the most soulful Christmas music I have heard in a long time. I'm not sure if this was actually lip-synced, but both Bassett and Whitaker's characters sang as well. If it wasn't actually them, it was at least great acting.
It's a film the entire family can watch with no issue. The Rev. T.D. Jakes was one of the executive producers and there is actually no profanity. Regardless of what you think about the movie, it's probably one that will be around African-American households for many holidays to come. You know how we do it.
Another that will probably be around as well is "A Madea Christmas," which opens on Dec. 13th. I'm sure we can expect the standard Tyler Perry formula as well as a few racial twists sprinkled in here and there. Secrets will be revealed, old relationships will be tested and at the end of the movie, everyone will feel all nice, warm and fuzzy on the inside.
And of course there's Madea, who is pretty much an entire world of her own.
Dare I say it? I'm actually looking forward to seeing it. Yeah, I know that we have been hit over the head with Madea for years now. However, we might be in for a surprise this time...or maybe not. But at least you will feel all nice warm and fuzzy on the inside. And that's what Christmas is all about, right?
Christmas Party Tour
While I'm on the subject of the holidays, the time has come for my Annual Holiday Party Tour. Nothing official, it's just me attending as many holiday parties as I can before Christmas Day!
As it stands, there's gotta be at least 13 Christmas parties on my agenda this year! It kicked off this week with the Mid-South Minority Business Council Continuum's annual function at the FedExForum. It was a top-notch affair as always!
Partygoers enjoyed the sounds of Will Grave & Soul and dined on some of the most delicious food ever prepared. An assortment of great door prizes were given away as well. When the first ticket was pulled, guess who won? Yes, for the first time I actually won something! Do you know how many useless raffle tickets I have collected until now?
Shouts out to Luke Yancy and his staff for putting on another great event.
Parting shot
Stay tuned! Next week, I'll have more as I continue my 2013 tour. It's the Leadership Memphis, The Conventions & Visitors Bureau and the New Memphis Institute holiday parties...and that's just this week alone.
Happy Holidays, so far! Until then, that's what's happening!

Bed bugs become established in structures when they hitch a ride in boxes, baggage, furniture, bedding, laundry, and in and on clothing worn by people coming from infested sites. Poultry workers can carry bed bugs to their residences from their places of work. Bat bugs, poultry bugs, swallow bugs, and others are typically transported to new roosts by the principal host. An accurate identification of the bed bug species involved is essential to an effective control strategy. Many control failures can be traced to an incorrect identification.
Bed bugs hides in cracks, crevices, and seams during the day. They prefer narrow crevices with a rough surface where their legs and backs touch the opposing surfaces. Bed bugs cannot climb glass or smooth, plastic surfaces. Wood and paper surfaces are preferred to either stone, metal, or plaster; however, in the absence of preferred sites or during high population numbers, the latter will also be utilized. The aforementioned cracks and crevices should be filled with appropriate fillers, such as caulking.
Bugs will sometimes hide in the crevices of upholstered furniture and mattresses created by fold, buttons, and cording. Thoroughly vacuum all upholstery-including the undersides-mattresses, and pillows. Launder bedding and dry in a warm air dryer. Mattresses, upholstered furniture, and cushions can be treated with "dry" steam. It is best to use two professional-grade steamers with low vapor flow rates, each with one-gallon capacities. This allows one unit to always be hot between water refills. The steam should exit through a wand with multiple ports to reduce the risk of blowing the bugs out of their hiding places. Using an infrared thermometer, make certain that the area just treated is at least 80C. Depending on the steam unit used, the wand should pass over the surface of the fabric at about a foot every ten seconds.

The Alentejo
On the vast golden plains of Alentejo, the peaceful landscape is but a curtain that opens on to an unimaginable heritage.
One is first taken by surprise by the remarkable traces of successive cultures: dolmens and cromlechs, Roman and Arab vestiges mingling with the most recent signs of Christianity, of which the numerous medieval castles that stand out in the vast plain are but one example.
To the northeast are the beautiful villages and towns which make up the so-called Rota dos Castelos (Castle Route): Nisa, Castelo de Vide, Marvão, Portalegre and Alter do Chão. Further south, the landscape becomes warmer and flatter; around Évora (one of the most beautiful towns in Portugal), are Monsaraz, Vila Viçosa, Estremoz, and Arraiolos (renowned for its hand made tapestries, based on traditional drawings from the 17th and 18th centuries). Driving on to the south, the vast plains become less inhabited and sunnier, the only shade being provided by olive trees and oak trees, and the only amenity being provided by refreshing dams. A trip to Alvito, Beja (where one can stay in historic pousadas), Serpa and Mértola will be worth your time. The coastline to the west offers the visitor magnificent Atlantic beaches.
As the region with the highest thermal amplitude (going down to 5°C or up to 33°C), Alentejo is a scarcely populated region with quite open horizons, where the rhythm of life follows the idle sound of regional songs.
Ancient Roman town, it was a Muslim cultural centre later on. In the Queen Leonor Museum are valuable archeologic finds. Other legacies: churches of Santo António (Visigothic) and Santa Maria; convent and castle of São Francisco (currently a pousada); chapel of Santo André (Gothic-Moorish), and Misericórdia Church (Renaissance). Roman ruins at Pisões.
Accommodations in Beja
Castelo de Vide
Thermal spa, with medieval castle and Jewish quarter (15th century synagogue). A special reference to the chapel of São Salvador do Mundo (Visigothic) the two Paços do Concelho (medieval and 18th century), and an ancient church.
Accommodations in Castelo de Vide
Fortress town, with Roman-Arab castle, Amoreiras Aqueduct (15th-17th centuries). Other places of interest: mother-church (Manueline), churches of Nossa Senhora da Consolação (Renaissance) and Santa Clara (17th century), and Archeology and Ethnography Museum.
Accommodations in Elvas
Town crowned by a 13th-century castle, with a citadel (currently a pousada) and Santa Isabel Chapel (18th-century). special reference to the Gothic Dom Dinis Palace, São Francisco Church and Convent (Romanesque-Gothic), Paços do Concelho (14th-century), Maltesas Convent (16th-century), and the Municipal Museum.
Accommodations in Estremoz
Museum town of Roman origins, with historic center classified in UNESCO's International Heritage list. The town ex-libris is its Roman temple, located close to the Cathedral, which houses an important Sacred Art Museum (Roman-Gothic). Among its many convents and churches, the following can be visited: São Brás Chapel (Gothic-Moorish); São Francisco Church (with its Capela dos Ossos, a chapel walled with human bones) and São João Baptista Church (Gothic-Manueline); churches of Nossa Senhora da Graça (with-convent), Santo Antão and São Vicente (Mannerist). Palaces: Archepiscopal, Dom Manuel and Dukes of Cadaval. A special reference also to: Praça de Giraldo, with 16th-century arches; Aqueduct; convents of Santa Clara, Santa Helena do Calvário and Lóios (this one currently a pousada); University; ancient Jewish quarter; Évora Museum.
Accommodations in Evora
To the south of Castelo de Vide lies the town of MarvĂŁo, which is notable for its impressive castle (13th-14th-centuries) and the wonderful views that affords. Once outside the city walls, visit the convent of Nossa senhora da Estrela (15th-century), with-ceramic tiles dating from the 18th-century. Here too is the crucifix of Estrela, from the Manueline period.
Accommodations in Marvao
This tower sits over the right bank of the Guardiana river. The town's main attraction is its castle, built by the Moors, with a guard tower from the 13th-century. The main church, with its sculpted façade, contains elements from the Manueline period, occupies the site of what once was an ancient mosque. Mértola has three important museum sites as a consequence of the intense archeological activity there. The Roman museum occupies the Town Hall building. The Islamic collection includes the country's most important archive of ceramic objects (9th to 13th-centuries). Here too is one of the rarest early Christian basilicas in the entire Iberian peninsula (dating from the 5th-century).
Accommodations in Mertola
Beautiful medieval village, with castle, walls and fortifications. Special reference to the Santa Catarina Chapel, mother-church, Paços do Concelho, Paços de Audiência and Porta da Vila. In the nearby village of Reguengos there is a megalithic nucleus, with over 100 dolmens and cromlechs.
Accommodations in Monsaraz
Amongst the towers and walls of the medieval castle stand the Paços do Concelho and Hospital da Misericórdia. Worthwhile visiting: the Cathedral, São Bernardo Convent, the church of São Francisco Monastery (13th-18th centuries), and the Regional, Sacred Art, Municipal Library and Casa de José Régio Museums.
Accommodations in Portalegre
Set on a peninsula overlooking the south bank of river Sado, TrĂłia has a number of important Roman remains, especially of an important industrial complex used for salting fish, an activity in this region in Roman times. The peninsula is fringed by many beautiful sandy beaches that also back onto a challenging golf course.
Accommodations in Troia
Vila Viçosa
The Duke's palace belongs to the House of Bragança, the last Portuguese dinasty. It is an imposing building, with a Renaissance façade and a museum-library.

HEADLINE: Bradley County Schools' McDaniel named state superintendent of year
THE RECAP: An association of Tennessee school superintendents have selected Bradley County Schools Superintendent Johnny McDaniel as the 2013 Tennessee Superintendent of the Year. McDaniel, currently in his fifth year as Bradley County's superintendent, is now in competition for a national superintendent of the year award.
DREW'S VIEW: It says something about school superintendents in our state when they believe the very best among them is a guy who tried to justify a tax hike by intentionally bulldozing a perfectly good school.
After Blue Spring Elementary School was hit by a tornado in April 2011, the school's insurer, Travelers Insurance, offered to pay the full $1.1 million cost to repair the school -- which consisted primarily of roof and window damage.
Instead, McDaniel chose to use the insurance money demolish the existing Blue Springs school down and buy land for a new one. After doing that, he realized he hadn't figured in the $7.1 million the school district would need to build the new school into the budget. That led to a frenzied effort by McDaniel and his cronies to pass a $32 annual wheel tax in Bradley County.
Thankfully, Bradley County voters realized McDaniel's incompetence and handed the wheel tax a crushing defeat in the August election.
Anyone with a lick of sense would've use the insurance money to fix the existing school. Unfortunately, Bradley County Schools are stuck with a superintendent that apparently couldn't pass a math class in one of his district's elementary schools.
HEADLINE: As ticket sales lag, UTC eyes boost from beer
THE RECAP: Outgoing UTC Chancellor Roger Brown recommends that his successor consider allowing the sale of beer at home football games, a practice that is growing more common throughout college athletics. While the UT system bans alcohol on its campuses, Brown said there's no "hard-and-fast rule" that prohibits UTC from selling beer at the off-campus Finley Stadium.
DREW'S VIEW: Universities that, unlike UTC, actually draw decent crowds to football games have played home games at nearby off-campus stadiums just to bypass alcohol bans at campus stadiums and generate more money at the concession stand for years.
Vanderbilt, for example, schedules its home games against UT at LP Field where the Titans play in Nashville. This is despite the fact that the Titans stadium is only three miles from Vandy's on-campus stadium and holds only a few thousand more people. The reason for moving the game is to cash in on beer sales.
UTC is fortunate that its stadium is already off campus and can easily allow beer sales, which will bring in money to the university. More importantly, allowing beer sales may save lives by preventing pregame binge drinking.
Many UTC football fans understand that, in order to watch the Mocs engage in a riveting matchup against the likes of Samford and Elon with all the skill of a mid-level Lingerie Football League team, alcohol is often necessary. It is safer if that alcohol can be consumed at a reasonable pace during the course of the game, rather than in a 15 minute drinking rampage just before walking into Finley Stadium.
As a lifelong teetotaler who has never had a sip of alcohol in my life, I might have to break down and get drunk as a boiled owl to watch a team that has been 20 - 38 over the past five years, including losses to mighty football powerhouses like Carson-Newman and The Citadel.
Actually, it may require something stronger than beer to make me sit through an entire UTC football game.
HEADLINE: Bill Hagerty takes leave to help Mitt Romney
THE RECAP: Tennessee Economic and Community Development Commissioner Bill Hagerty is taking a temporary leave of absence to volunteer for Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney's "readiness team." Hagerty once worked with Romney at Bain Capital. Former Hamilton County Mayor Claude Ramsey, deputy to Gov. Bill Haslam, will assume oversight of the department during Hagerty's leave of absence.
DREW'S VIEW: Commissioner Hagerty has done a good job of addressing some of the problems of wasteful spending and lack of accountability that plagued ECD under former governor Phil Bredesen. But still, the fact that a commissioner of a cabinet-level state agency can ditch his job for two months to volunteer on a presidential campaign demonstrates the Department of Economic and Community Development's lack of importance.
Consider for a moment what happens if, in the two month Hagerty is gallivanting around the country with his rich buddies working to get Romney elected, new business starts increase in Tennessee and state unemployment rates decrease. It would certainly make a lot of folks question the need for the department.
This worst-case scenario for Hagerty may be the best thing that could happen for state taxpayers.
While state economic development efforts that tout the amenities the state -- and locales within the state -- can offer businesses are understandable, that has been a secondary focus of the Tennessee government's economic development efforts. The primary mission of ECD seems to be nothing more than serving as the agency that bribes companies with hundreds of millions of dollars in taxpayer-funded enticements to set up shop in the Volunteer State.
In that regard, if the economy develops with no one truly at the helm of the state's Economic Development bureaucracy, maybe that will give state lawmakers a reason to consider pouring less money into its business bribery operation.

Check your facts on stadium size, Einstein.
Another edition of juvenile tripe. Attacking Johnny McDaniel, who has more integrity in his pinky finger than baby Drew will ever have in his life; and the UTC football program, which admirably battles great odds each week.
This is what you get when you hire someone with the disposition and maturity of a 13-year-old to write editorials. TFP keeps getting closer to that iceberg. Next stop: 3 days a week.
Keep going, Drew.
You may not be able to change the world, but at least you can embarrass the guilty. - Jessica Mitford
Well done.
I think I am confused at reasoning that "binge" drinking before the game is worse than it being allowed at the games. Drunk is drunk. If money is made off people's addiction, it is still contributing to the problem. I don't get that. Otherwise, you might need to consider the University whose football team you are trashing just happens to be in the city which employs you pal. I guess for some your lingerie league chit is cute. I think it is utterly tasteless and as some others have suggested, you could use some growing up man.
Perhaps if UTC only played teams in the Lingerie Football League they might have a winning season and pack people in the stands.

Alfalfa hay growers and the Flying Wallendas have something in common; they both work without a safety net. The Wallendas do it because it draws a bigger crowd, but alfalfa growers do it because they don't have a choice.
Alfalfa acreage has been going down even though the price for hay has been going up. The National Alfalfa and Forage Alliance did a trend study last year and that acreage for alfalfa had declined 15 percent in the previous 10 years and last year alone it declined another 10 percent. Drought and acres lost to corn or soybean are part of the problem but lack of a safety net for alfalfa growers is also to blame.

Bonneville County to recount two precincts

Bonneville County Clerk Ron Longmore has ordered a reconciliation of votes cast at two county precincts. In one case, he says about eight write-in votes were not counted Tuesday. In another precinct, about 100 votes were inadvertently counted twice.
Longmore said Thursday that the discrepancy would not affect the outcome of any races, but would change the bottom line numbers. A formal recount of the two precincts is scheduled for 2 pm Friday in the Bonneville County Elections office.

Main rotor blade rpm was seen to slow as the pilot waited for landing traffic to clear the runway. The pilot was then cleared for takeoff on runway 34. Wind was reported to be from 320 degrees at 16 knots, gusting to 23 knots. Main rotor rpm was seen to increase as the gyroplane began its takeoff roll. After it had lifted off and climbed 200 to 400 feet, witnesses saw something separate from the gyroplane and it fall to the ground. An endorsement in the pilot's logbook indicated he was competent for "solo day flight...with winds less than 15 knots and crosswind component less than 8 knots." He was not rated in gyroplanes. Wreckage examination revealed the rectangular boxed beam tail boom was twisted and severed about 2 feet in front of the vertical stabilizer. The vertical stabilizer leading edge bore chop marks. The rudder was shattered. A diagonal crease mark was noted on the left surface of the vertical stabilizer, running from the upper leading edge to the lower trailing, near the tail wheel. Both rudder cables were severed. The outboard portions of all four pusher propeller blades were severed at the same angle. Both main rotor blades were bent downward at the hub, and one blade was severed. The pilot's toxicology screen was positive for nordiazepam, oxazepam, and temazepam. These are metabolites of benzodiazepine. The most common benzodiazepine, Valium, prescribed under the name of Restoril, is a tranquilizer used in the treatment of anxiety, and is contraindicated for flying. Since benzodiazepines were not detected in blood, the pilot most likely was not under its influence. The aircraft's flight manual gives the following warnings: "Attempting takeoff at full engine power with initial rotor speed less than 150 rpm will lead to blade flapping. In this condition the rotor will contact the ground."
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

Acupuncture and moxibustion, although not potent enough to act as first line cancer treatments, are powerful tools to support conventional cancer therapy, including surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. In the experience of the author, they can render these interventions better tolerated by patients and lead to more successful treatment outcomes. In particular, they play a significant role in alleviating, and in some cases preventing, the side effects of chemotherapy. This paper focuses on a treatment protocol developed by the author, in which patients and their helpers are taught how to use daily moxibustion at home during chemotherapy. Moxa is used at the acupuncture points Geshu BL‑17, Ganshu BL‑18 and Pishu BL‑20 in order to prevent leukopenia, the dropping of the white blood cell and neutrophil counts (also known as neutropenia). This treatment also helps to prevent anaemia and thrombocytopenia (a drop in the platelet count). The four terms in italics above are also known as pancytopenia, or bone marrow depression. This paper discusses the rationale for using this regimen, and whether it is contraindicated to apply moxibustion during chemotherapy. It also explores some of the technical issues to consider when teaching patients and their helpers how to use moxibustion at home. The article ends with a few selected case histories.

text: Democrats Vilify Guns, Own Stock in Gun Companies Print article Send a Tip by AWR Hawkins 22 Jan 2013 post a comment Several Democrats who have come out against the evils of guns since the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary have also made money by investing in gun companies. Many are still making money with investments in those manufacturers now, even as they attempt to ban their products. Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), for example, is a proponent of an "assault weapons" ban, who in the meantime is enjoying the money her husband makes off a $50,000 investment in the Vanguard Small Cap Growth Index fund. As of Jan. 18, that fund included 219,918 shares of stock in Ruger Firearms. Meanwhile, Senator Clair McCaskill (D-MO) has approximately $100,000 in the iShare Russell 2000 Growth Index. That fund held 254,290 shares of stock in Ruger Firearms as of Jan. 18, along with shares of Smith & Wesson as well. Senator Tom Harkin (D-IA) has approximately $100,000 in the iShares S&P Small Cap 600 Growth Index--a fund which was the "the 16th largest holder" of Ruger Firearms stock as of mid-January. It's not just individual investments, either: city pensions in Mayor Rahm Emanuel's Chicago own significant shares of funds that are heavily invested in gun companies, as are city pensions in Mayor Michael Bloomberg's New York City. In Chicago, the city's teachers' retirement fund has about $12 million partially invested in the company that owns Bushmaster firearms--makers of the AR-15 Adam Lanza used at Sandy Hook--as well as funds that include shares of Ruger Firearms and Smith & Wesson. Investing in gun companies makes sense for these Democrats if they want to make money: since Obama's election to the presidency in 2008, the value of a share of Ruger Firearms alone has gone from approximately five dollars to fifty-two dollars in Jan. 2013.

text: On February 18, 2004, at approximately 1330 central standard time, a Bell 206B single-engine helicopter, N16MV, was destroyed following a loss of control during takeoff. The commercial pilot, sole occupant of the aircraft, sustained minor injuries. The helicopter was registered to Skylane Helicopters LLC, of Decatur, Texas, and operated by the United States Forest Service of Atlanta, Georgia. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and no flight plan was filed for the 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 133 aerial fire fighting flight. The local flight was originating at the time of the accident. The pilot reported on the Pilot/Operator Aircraft Accident Report (NTSB Form 6120.1/2), that the terrain he was departing from was "clumpy and lumpy with ruts of grass approximately 1 to 2 feet in height." Based on these conditions, he began to lift the helicopter off the ground at an ascent rate of approximately 1 inch to 2 inches per second, and made sure there was no yaw movement with the pedals, nor ground track movement with the cyclic in any direction. When the skids were about 1-foot above the ground, and the pilot was confident that the right front skid-toe was clear of the cable wires for the bambi bucket, "the helicopter stopped for a split second as if something had caught some portion of the right side of the helicopter and it began a slight lateral roll to the right."The pilot further reported that he recognized the problem too late as he applied full left cyclic and lowered the collective after the helicopter exceeded the critical angle of bank into the low skid. He said, "At that point the situation was unrecoverable, and the helicopter rolled 90-degrees to the right severing all control surfaces."According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) inspector, who responded to the accident site, it appeared that the rear portion of the right skid dug into the soft ground as the pilot attempted to bring the helicopter to a hover. Examination of the helicopter revealed damage to the tail rotor, main rotor system, and the rear portion of the right skid was bent.The pilot reported a total of 1,780 hours, all of which were in rotorcraft-helicopter. Of that, 140 hours were in the Bell 206B III. He also reported that there were no mechanical deficiencies with the helicopter or engine.Weather at Decatur Municipal Airport (LUD), near Decatur, Texas, approximately 4 miles north of the accident site, at 1328, reported clear skies, wind from 170 degrees at 13 knots gusting to 18 knots, visibility 10 statute miles, temperature 17 degrees Celsius, dewpoint 2 degrees Celsius, and barometric pressure of 30.31 inches of Mercury.The Rotorcraft Flying Handbook (FAA-H-8083-21), page 11-7, described dynamic rollover as, "the pivoting around a skid or landing gear wheel of a helicopter causing it to reach its critical rollover angle. Beyond this point, main rotor thrust continues the roll and recovery is impossible."

WEDNESDAY, Feb. 6 (HealthDay News) -- The bacteria responsible for whooping cough may be evolving into different strains, and the current vaccine can't offer complete protection against these new strains, researchers report.
In recent years, cases of whooping cough have risen dramatically. Tens of thousands have been sickened, and 18 deaths have been reported, mostly in infants, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Several recent studies have focused on the potential of waning immunity from the whooping cough vaccine over time. In a letter in the Feb. 7 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine, researchers pointed out that there may be another culprit: an evolution in the bug itself.
The vaccine contains a number of components that help give the body immunity against the whooping cough bacteria (Bordetella pertussis). One of these components is called pertactin.
Strains of the whooping cough bacteria that are pertactin-negative have been found in Japan, France, Finland and, now, the United States, the researchers reported in the letter. That means that at least one component of the current vaccine is ineffective against these newly found strains.
"There are several theories as to why we're seeing more pertussis," said Dr. Kenneth Bromberg, chairman of pediatrics and director of the Vaccine Research Center at the Brooklyn Hospital Center, in New York City. "One theory is better diagnosis. A second [theory] is that the vaccines are not as good in terms of longevity as the whole-cell vaccine was. The third theory is that there have been genetic changes in the strains of pertussis, such that it makes new strains immune or relatively immune to the current vaccines."
"The thought is that the bacteria have gotten smart and are eliminating the pertactin in themselves," said Bromberg, who was not involved in the current research.
A second letter in the same journal issue addressed another of the theories that Bromberg outlined: the effectiveness of the current vaccine.
In the late 1990s, the vaccine was switched from a whole-cell vaccine to what's known as an acellular vaccine.
"The whole-cell vaccine contains the whole cell of killed bacteria, so every protein that the bacteria makes is in it, forcing the person to mount an immune response to every part of the bacteria," said the letter's co-author, Dr. Paul Cieslak, medical director of the Oregon Immunization Program, in Portland. "With the new, acellular vaccine, they picked the proteins they thought were most important. Without the whole cell, there are fewer side effects, but it may be a little less effective."
Oregon experienced a significant increase in the number of whooping cough cases last year. Oregon maintains statewide records on immunizations, as well as records of who has had a confirmed case of whooping cough. This information allowed Cieslak and his colleagues to go back and review what type of vaccine had been given to those who later were infected with whooping cough.
They found that the reported cases of whooping cough were significantly lower in youngsters who had their first immunization with the whole-cell vaccine rather than the acellular vaccine.
Does that mean that whole-cell vaccine should make a comeback? "No one is making the argument for whole-cell vaccine," Cieslak said. "Without the whole cell in the vaccine, there are fewer side effects. It may be a little less effective, but it's got to be safe."
Bromberg agreed. "The whole-cell vaccine isn't coming back. The acellular vaccine is significantly better in terms of not causing reactions, but it doesn't work for as long as we thought," he said.
Cieslak said that even though the current vaccine isn't perfect, "we certainly recommend getting the vaccine. You are still far better off with the vaccine."
Bromberg added that experts are trying to figure out ways to better use the current vaccine. For example, the CDC recently added a recommendation that all pregnant women should receive the whooping cough vaccine late in pregnancy to offer protection to their newborns.

Samples of supermarket swordfish and tuna steaks from 22 states show that these seafood products still contain mercury levels unsafe for growing children and pregnant women. In September the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced that women living on the East and West Coasts had twice as much mercury in their blood (5.9 parts per billion, or ppb) than inland women (2.4 ppb). Levels higher than 3.5 ppb may pose a threat to the woman or fetus.
"I don't think that the FDA's [U.S. Food and Drug Administration's] tuna standards are protective enough of children," says Luz Claudio, Ph.D., associate professor of community medicine at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine. "Despite FDA warnings about mercury in tuna, mercury levels are high enough in 16 percent of women of childbearing age to harm fetuses," Claudio says, referring to the risk of brain damage and learning deficits the neurotoxin poses.
"The best way to get people to make informed fish choices is to post mercury information in the stores," says Jackie Savitz, director of Oceana's Seafood Contamination Campaign, which cosponsored the supermarket study. After prominently displaying mercury-warning posters in May 2003 in their seafood departments, Wild Oats saw no decline in overall seafood sales, according to Sonja Tuitele, director of corporate communications. Safeway also has agreed to put up signs.
Good news: A September 2005 study at Oregon State University's Seafood Laboratory found that troll-caught Pacific albacore have less than half the mercury of deep-sea albacore and about as much as chunk light tuna. "Albacore also has higher amounts of omega-3s than other varieties of tuna," notes Michael Morrissey, Ph.D., a professor of food science at Oregon State. A study by the Harvard Medical School (with National Institutes of Health funding), published in the October 2005 Environmental Health Perspectives, found that before birth and during early childhood the high omega-3 fatty acid content in fish could raise children's intelligence. Rather than avoid all fish, the researchers advised, women who are pregnant or of childbearing age and children should eat fish low in mercury (no more than 12 ounces [340.2 grams] per week).

Lower Dens: "Blue and Silver"
Lower Dens: "Blue and Silver"
|Release Date:
More info on local act
Lower Dens
Lower Dens is the new moniker for folk songwriter Jana Hunter's band, which has actually been around much longer, only playing under Hunter's name. Likewise, "Blue and Silver" isn't exactly new either, having first appeared last summer on a tour CD, and slated to appear on a forthcoming LP. But it seems like Hunter, with bassist Geoff Graham and drummer Abe Sanders, is making an effort at reintroducing the group to the world. Hunter, the solo songwriter, has done excellent work exacting a certain mood, a meditative, richly textured slow-folk as pretty and calm as the woods at dawn. "Blue and Silver," riding along on the back of quick rimshots or some kind of woodblock, ups the atmosphere in great washes of guitar/lo-fi scuzz and cranks out a pretty mean rock climax, but that same sort of placid melody still runs underneath. So as much as it rocks, it soothes. One complaint: Hunter has an amazing and unique voice, but it's kinda buried here. Otherwise, there's much to look forward to with Lower Dens.

Lucas & Ford Heading To AirVenture In WI
Posted By
A convention celebrating aviation seems like the perfect place to screen a film about the Tuskagee Airmen of World War II. George Lucas agrees as on Friday, July 29th, he will be presenting his first screening of
Red Tails
at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh in Wisconsin.
Lucas will not be the only
Star Wars
celebrity on hand. Noted aviation enthusiast Harrison Ford will be there as well for a screening of
Clear and Present Danger
on July 27th.
For a little more clarification on the event as a whole, here is what
has to say on their "About" page...
"For 51 weeks a year, EAA is an international community of more than 160,000 members that nurtures the spirit of flight through a worldwide network of chapters, outreach programs, and other events.
But for one week each summer, EAA members and aviation enthusiasts totaling more than 500,000 from more than 60 countries attend EAA AirVenture at Wittman Regional Airport in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, where they rekindle friendships and celebrate the past, present and future in the world of flight.
"The World's Greatest Aviation Celebration" has it all when it comes to aircraft. Warbirds. Vintage. Homebuilts. Ultralights. Some you would normally find in a hangar at your local airport, others so unique they are the only one of its kind.
You name it, there's likely an example of it at Oshkosh.
For many, arriving at Oshkosh is a rite of passage that can only be satisfied by being one of the more than 10,000 aircraft flying in, landing at what becomes the busiest airport in the world.
Whether you're an aviation enthusiast or an aviation novice, AirVenture has something for you. No matter what your age, you'll be entertained, informed, and thrilled by the countless activities available that reflect the spirit of aviation all around.
Daily air shows. Aerobatics and pyrotechnics. Opening Day concert. Fly-In Theater. Forums, workshops, and demonstrations. KidVenture. Theater in the Woods. All of this, plus much, much more is included with your daily admission."
for more info on the aviation celebration that runs from July 25 - 31, 2011.
Thanks to Brian S. for the heads up!

Investing can be a good way to give your money a real chance to grow over the long term. If you put your money in a savings account, you'll only earn the amount added by interest. With investing, you can put your money in a variety of assets, each with the potential to increase in value at a level higher than the current interest rate.
Remember the old saying "speculate to accumulate"? That's very true of investing. You may need to take chances with your money to be in with a chance of getting a real return above the rate of inflation. You should be aware though, that investing does carry risks and you could lose some or all of your money.
But investments carry different levels of risk, so you can pitch your investment at a level that you're comfortable with. Generally, the more you want to get back, the higher the risk to your original investment.
The key to investing is to make sure you spread the risk to your money by investing in a number of different assets. The chances are that if one asset isn't performing all that well, another may be doing better than expected, which could offset the poor performance. If you're not comfortable taking risks with your money, you might want to consider saving instead.
Unlike investing, with most savings accounts your money is generally safe, accessible and any interest added cannot be taken away.
Remember, investment values can go down as well as up and you might get back less than you paid in.
There are a number of different types of investments out there. Here's a rundown of what's generally available to you:
|Type of investment
|What is it?
|How do I invest?
|Stocks and shares ISA
|This is a tax-efficient investment plan where the money you invest goes into assets like shares and collective investment funds. You can buy these through a bank, an online provider or through a financial adviser. The overall annual ISA allowance for the 2014/15 tax year is £15,000. You'll be able to invest all of that allowance in a stocks and shares ISA, or split it between a cash ISA and a stocks and shares ISA as you wish.
|A bank, building society, National Savings and Investments at the Post Office, some supermarkets and retailers, friendly societies, insurance companies, unit and investment trust, companies, financial advisers, fund supermarkets and stockbrokers.
|Investment bond
|This is a lump sum investment where the money you invest goes into a fund or range of funds. It gives you the chance to invest for growth, income or both.
|Through a financial adviser or an online provider.
|Collective investment
|This could be a Unit Trust or ICVC (Investment Company with Variable Capital). Funds within an ICVC or a Unit Trust Fund pool the money of a large number of investors who choose to invest in the same fund. You can invest for growth, income or both.
|A bank, building society, some supermarkets and retailers, friendly societies, insurance companies, unit and investment trust companies, financial advisers, fund supermarkets and stockbrokers
|This is a combination of an investment and a life insurance policy. It pays out the final value of the investment when the policy matures. It will pay out a fixed amount if the person covered by the policy dies before it matures.
|Through a financial adviser.
|Personal pension
|This helps you invest money for your retirement. You normally can't access the money in your pension until you retire.
|Through your employer or a financial adviser.

Square is Hip
Fayetteville and Kelso are located in Lincoln County, located along the Southern border of the state due west of Hamilton County. Today, the Fayetteville courthouse square is still a vibrant part of the town and features one of the largest fabric stores in the Southeast (Sir's also does a booming Internet business) and a movie theater built in 1951.
It's hip to be square in Fayetteville.

•The Lincoln Theatre on the square shows two first-run movies each week.
•Kelso is home to Prichard's Distillery. It was started in 1822 in Davidson County. Phil Prichard moved it to Kelso in 1997, according the company's website.

•Opened in 1948 by Joe Sir, Sir's Fabrics is located on the town square and has been drawing customers ever since. Still run by Sir family members, it now serves a large customer base on the Internet as well.
•There has been a bandstand on the square since the 1890s.
•History is a big part of what makes the area special. Among the list of famous Americans who have either lived or visited Lincoln County are Davy Crockett, Sam Houston, Daniel Boone and General Andrew Jackson.

Sir Isaac Newton would have been proud of the early pioneers in Lincoln County.
•The area's original gravity-flow water system, located at what is now known as Wells Hill Park, was the first of its kind in the United States.
•The Lincoln County Museum is open Thursday, Friday and Saturday May through November and in addition to housing an exhibit honoring the Admiral Frank Kelso exhibit, is home to Indian artifacts and hosts plays, civic meetings and dinners.
•The Elk River runs just south of Fayetteville.

Because Geno had such a poor showing yesterday with his execrable QBR, one of his moves has been overlooked - the illegal forward pass. This is on par with running into the end zone in a previous game, the move where he threw an illegal forward pass. He clearly has no idea what is going on, or in-game awareness. This would be really bad, if everything else wasn't even worse. I was very vocal about how I thought he was not ready for the NFL but I thought it was more mechanical issues, not this sort of thing.
I thought it was pretty close to be fair. I didn't see a replay though. How far past the LOS was he?
We get it
You really don't like Geno
I think ChrisJets sums it up perfectly in his reply.Right now Geno is just lost in an offense that is likewise totally lost.He's getting little to no help from his WR's while Flacco had guys making circus grabs all day.
i think the lack of game awareness is simply a symptom of the wider struggles going on right now
Wasn't your reason for thinking he wasn't ready because he had an odd shaped head?
Vinnys niece does not like black rooster. We get it.
I also love the professional scouts and GM's on this board, people don't have patience anymore, players can't develop anymore, they have to be perfect players th moment they step on the field, no room for adjustments and controversy, and to give these players an opportunity to work through their ups and downs. Screw that he's a rookie, Geno is done!
There was no way this was a penalty, and the replay clearly showed that not even half of Geno's body was beyond the line of scrimmage. I agree with not challenging, since winning the challenge would have merely resulted in 2nd and 10 instead of 2nd and 15 (the pass was incomplete), but it would have been overturned had it been reviewed.
He seems to have become a pretty likeable guy actually, once he became the starter, for those claiming I don't 'like' him (smirking after Sanchez got hurt notwithstanding). Whether I like him or not is irrelevant, I thought he wouldn't be ready, and isn't. He should have never started so soon.

Vinnys nieces...
Have you ever dated a black man?
If no
Would you?
Vinnys niece....
What is the perfect length?
What is the perfect girth?
Geno Smith was a horrible ****ing draft pick.
You aren't gonna win **** in this league until you draft a white guy with the whitest name imaginable.
"Tom Brady"
"Aaron Rodgers"
The more first names in one name the better.
If anyone ever spots a college QB named "Logan Thomas", sign that beast. We'll own the AFC for the next 20 years.
Raiders I will bury you starting Monday pal. Until then enjoy the turkey day massacre.

I worked at Aon full-time (more than an year)
Paid well. Good overall benefits.
Poor management. Does not create team cohesion. Too much bureaucracy. Very little innovation as a result of outsourcing everything including most IT functions, difficult governance model. Too many companies within the Aon umbrella which creates a difficult political environment.
Review managers by collecting honest feedback from subordinates. Your outsourced model is out-dated.
