Arianny: Rousey not a good role model
In a Maxim interview that same year, Rousey was asked if there was anyone higher than her in Maxim's Hot 100 that she felt did not deserve it.
"It would have been really funny if Id beaten Arianny Celeste," replied Rousey. "Because that would be like a triathlete coming along and beating the runners in a marathon. Like, 'Ha-ha, its your job to show your tittiesI do that better than you!' Maybe next year. Shes only getting older, and Im reaching my prime."
In an MMAJunkie radio interview on Saturday, Celeste finally responded.
I dont really like the way she carries herself, said Celeste, as transcribed by MMAFighting. I dont think shes a good role model for women. I think that women should empower each other and give each other a little pat on the back.
Ive personally been talked about by her, and I dont even know her. Ive met her twice. She said a couple things in her Maxim interview. A lot of people pointed it out to me, but I didnt really acknowledge it.
Shes paving the way for womens MMA, and Ive made being a UFC Octagon Girl into a career. She should definitely recognize that and be nice."

Google+ for iOS updated with communities, profile editing, better event handling, and more
Google has just updated their Google+ social networking app for iOS to version 4.0, and among the new and improved features is support for Google+ Communities, the ability to set timezones and indicate guest numbers in events, profile editing, a new compose interface, and a new design for visual stream. According to Google:
On iOS, our new version lets you swipe through photo albums inline; you can tap once to view photos in all their glory; and the iPhone app now applies a subtle pan-zoom-scale effect to pictures in the stream.
Google also, not surprisingly, rolled out a major Google+ update for Android at the same time.
However, the quality and quantity of their recent iOS updates makes the iPhone one of the best Google phones on the market. That might seem counter-intuitive, but Google isn't in the hardware or even OS business. It's in the data aggregation and advertising business. They're skating to where the high-value eyeballs are. (More on that in a future post.)
Google+ 4.0 is a free update, like the app itself, and you can grab it now from the App Store.

I haven't touched G+ in over a year I think? I used it for a month and got bored. I'll stick with Facebook & twitter.
For as many complaints that I see in the app store about the facebook app and facebook's constant policy and feature changes, the fact that Google + is way more feature rich than facebook and twitter(elements of both in one social network), and also the fact that it is made by google, I am surprised there hasn't been a mass exodus or at least more people on Google +. I get on it every once in a while. It's still great, it just needs more people...
Because we already have much more time investing in facebook. News, pics, history, stories. None of which is on Google+
I am not surprised G+ hasn't caught on to the level everyone hoped. Delayed app support, a strangely minimalistic interface and far fewer options in comparison to Facebook did it no favors. I've tried to like it, but it seems completely empty and void of any personality.
Now MySpace was a cluster duck, and while Facebook is a bit more flashy than it was initially, there's at least a relatively simple and clean way to browse it, which is one of the main reasons it sucker punched Myspace into Geocities/Angelfire territory. Off topic, I was searching for some obscure info a few weeks ago and found it on a still live Angelfire page. Lord how the web was fugly circa 1997.
Anyway, it seems like the majority of people on G+ are bloggers and people of the tech persuasion. It's far more businesslike there from my experience, and simply put, people are used to Facebook. With ALL its warts, it still reaches the much larger populace and as long as it at least mostly functions, people aren't going to migrate over. Having Twitter + Facebook is more than enough for most people. So to add G+, with such a similar featureset to Facebook, is unfortunately redundant.
Now don't get me wrong, I'm not saying G+ is worthless or Okturt, whatever that was called, but it didn't get the pull everyone thought, and unless Facebook REALLY screws up, or G+ makes some sort of revolutionary jump in social networking, it will remain the NBC of social networking.
You haven't actually used G+, have you.
Yes. It's bloated, fancy for the sake of being fancy and a completely inefficient way of streaming data from people I wish to stream data from. I like how it ties into secondary sources, blogs,etc but that's it. I don't like how horrifically inefficient it is, and how much space is wasted. There are no control options with what info you want, it's all big, annoying blocks of data added in a fancy way.
do people even use G+?
G+ has been a service that's been getting better and better. It really is the most social network.

Graduate School of Education News
Graduate School of Education professor earns grant to improve algebra teaching
Graduate School of Education Professor Steve Rhine has earned a $742,000 Fund for Improvement of Post-Secondary Education (FIPSE) grant from the U.S. Department of Education to create the Algebraic Thinking Project, which aims to restructure the way new teachers learn to open the algebra gateway for their students.
Professors from George Fox University, Pacific University and Western Oregon University will collaborate with Rhine to restructure Math Methods courses for student teachers, helping improve the future teachers' knowledge, skills and dispositions toward the way students think about algebra. The goal is to improve younger students' algebra understanding, test scores, graduation rates and college enrollment.
The team will create the Center for Algebraic Thinking, a pool of resources that includes an online encyclopedia of algebraic thinking, a catalog of formative assessment problems and a matrix of technological tools.
FIPSE provides grants to projects that seek to improve the quality of postsecondary education. Awards are made in a number of areas, including postsecondary education access; retention and completion; student preparation for college; cost-effectiveness; and curricula reform.
Rhine calls algebra the "gatekeeper" math course that stands between students and the rest of their education, including college — although far too many students struggle with it.
Part of the problem is that algebra has students start moving away from tangible questions where they can see that 5 plus 4 equals 9, Rhine says. Once students start using variables and tools such as the quadratic equation, the concepts become more abstract, he says — leading students to start thinking equations work "magically" instead of trying to understand how they work.
"The more teachers know about their students' misconceptions concerning algebra, the more they can help students learn the concepts," Rhine says.
Rhine is currently writing "The Teacher's Handbook of Algebraic Thinking and Misconceptions" to help teachers tackle these issues.
The FIPSE grant is not Rhine's first major national award. He also has acquired two separate million-dollar grants to improve the use of technology in Oregon classrooms.
One grant from the U.S. Department of Education's Preparing Tomorrow's Teachers to Use Technology Program funded the Oregon Technology in Education Network, a group of six Oregon universities working to help teachers successfully use technology in the classroom.
Learn more about Steve Rhine's research and work to improve teacher education in a 2006 article.

Robert Drysdale vs. D.J. Linderman added to April's Legacy FC 19 event in Texas | News
A light heavyweight matchup between submission ace Robert Drysdale (5-0) and multi-division contender D.J. Linderman (13-4) will serve as the co-main event of April's Legacy FC 19 event.
MMAjunkie.com (UFC blog for UFC news, UFC rumors, fighter interviews and event previews/recaps) today confirmed the new bout with promotion officials.
Additionally, Rey Trujillo (13-10) steps in for an injured Junior Assuncao and will now face Chris Jones (7-1) in a featherweight matchup. Assuncao is expected to be booked for a future Legacy FC event.
Featuring champion Will Campuzano vs. Alan Nascimento for the promotion's flyweight title, Legacy FC 19 takes place April 12 at Allen Event Center in Allen, Texas, and the main card airs on AXS TV.
Drysdale, a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt and 2007 Abu Dhabi Combat Club Submission Wrestling World Championship open division winner, has long served as an instructor for many top mixed-martial-artists and 2010 decided to make his own go as a fighter. The result has been five-straight submission wins, all coming in the first round.
Meanwhile, "Da Protege" does Mohammed "King Mo" Lawal proud as a moneyweight fighter who bounces back and forth between heavyweight and 205 pounds as fights are available. He appeared most recently at November's World Series of Fighting 1 where he suffered a first-round knockout to UFC veteran Anthony Johnson following an odd sequence where "Rumble" appeared to have been poked in the eye but then delivered a massive punch as Linderman moved in to continue the action.
With the changes, the full Legacy FC 19 lineup now includes:
MAIN CARD (AXS TV, 10 p.m. ET)
Champ Will Campuzano vs. Alan Nascimento - for flyweight title
Robert Drysdale vs. D.J. Linderman
Matt Hobar vs. Nelson Salas
Chris Jones vs. Reynaldo Trujillo
Charles Byrd vs. Roy Spoon
George Pacurariu vs. Steven Peterson
PRELIMINARY CARD (Untelevised, 7 p.m. ET)
Sean Holden vs. Armando Servin
Kirk Gibson vs. Clay Hantz
Angelus McFarlane vs. Evan Thompson
Bull Lawal vs. Jabari Shakur
Melvin Jordan vs. Bobby Moore
James Hall vs. TBA

Pentura Solutions continues to improve the most caffeinated Google Maps mashup on the web. FindByClick.com is the place to find 10,418 Starbucks locations in the US, Canada and Hong Kong and 3,046 Tim Hortons locations in Canada, US and Afghanistan (yes, Afghanistan). They have completely overhauled the user interface (it looks fantastic) and have added heaps more locations. They have links (on this page - look at the very bottom) to copies of the Tim Hortons and Starbucks databases used in this mashup, in case someone wants to create their own mashup! Be sure to also find the 4 Easter Eggs on this site.. and post a comment when you find them!
The FindByClick team is able to index more locations than Starbucks and Tim Hortons' own store finder apps through a small but growing community of volunteers that help them tweak and expand their database.
Pentura's Kevin MacDonald has this to say about the growing FindByClick community:
"..We have been helped by individuals in Ireland, Germany, Canada and Hong Kong. One member of our community is Vinko Tsui from Hong Kong. He was responsible for compiling the location and other attributes for all Starbucks in Hong Kong. Over time, we expect to rely solely on our community of volunteers to keep expanding our database rather than the data feeds we currently receive directly from Tim Hortons and Starbucks. If you are interested in mapping and would like to help us out, please visit our site and go to the community page for more information."
Other parts of the site include:
FindByClick's Mobile Service - Check out how you can bring this Coffee Finder with you and never go without knowing where that Starbucks is across the US or where the nearest Tim Horton's location is to where your son/daughter is playing hockey this weekend!
FindByClick Coffee Stats - Lots of interesting stats, maps and tables about Tim Hortons and Starbucks in the US and Canada. Kevin shares these fun stats for both Starbucks and Tim Hortons with us:
- Vermont has the fewest number (4) of Starbucks of any state; Wyoming is second with 12.
- Nova Scotia has the highest per-capita concentration of Tim Hortons of any province (18.73 stores per 100,000 people); New Brunswick comes second with 15.75 followed by Prince Edward Island -- The Maritimes sure loves their Tim Hortons!
- District of Columbia has the highest per-capita concentration of Starbucks of any state (12 per 100,000 people); Washington comes second (9.77 per 100,000)
The FindByClick main web page is divided into fixed-sized cells. The content and user-interaction within each cell is handled by a portlet. One portlet handles the selection of coffee brands, another, the list of coffee shops; other portlets handle the map itself, placename selection, and a "people spotlight" at the top-right corner of the page.
Portlets access data on the server through a set of proxy services, which are also managed by the portal controller. Each proxy service is connected, asynchronously, to a Java-based web services running back on the server.
Check out the FindByClick Coffee Map Mashup to find out if there's a closer Starbucks than the one you're regularly visiting.. or if you're traveling, use it to scope out where you'll get your fix of that coveted Starbucks or Tim Hortons brew!

I am a communications business and I want to compete in the C-SPAN HD, C-SPAN2 HD and C-SPAN3 HD online commentary marketplace. Comcast is using it's monopoly position as my cable provider to prevent me from having access to C-SPAN2 HD and C-SPAN3 HD. Therefore, I am unable to compete in the HD Congressional Commentary marketplace. This is bad for DEMOCRACY and it is bad for the INDEPENDENT JOURNALISTS in Comcast's service area. This reduces diversity of opinion in the Congressional Commentary marketplace and leads to the American citizens getting their news only from official sources, such as the major broadcast networks, cable networks and movie companies such as the NBC companies.

Food for Thought partners with local restaurants to combat hungerWritten by Sarah Ottney | Editor in Chief | email@example.com
Twenty local restaurants have enlisted in a one-day campaign to help fight hunger.
Food Fight 419 is a fundraiser organized by local nonprofit Food for Thought in recognition of National Hunger Awareness Month. Participating restaurants will donate 5 percent of their one-day sales to Food For Thought. The all-day event will take place Sept. 24.
Participating restaurants are Balance Pan-Asian Grille (Sylvania and Maumee), Black Kite Coffee, Burger Bar 419, Caper's, Deet's BBQ, El Tipico, Epic Buffet, Final Cut Steak & Seafood, JB's Sarnie Shoppe, Mancy's Italian, Mancy's Steaks, Ottawa Tavern, Plate 21, Registry Bistro, Scene, Take 2 Grill, The Blarney Irish Pub and Vito's Pizza (East Toledo and Oregon).
Sam Melden, Food for Thought's chief thought officer, said he got the idea from a similar fundraiser organized by the Columbus-based Central Ohio Restaurant Association to benefit the Mid-Ohio Foodbank.
"I saw they did this event in Columbus and said, 'What if we did our own, but linked it up with National Hunger Awareness Month?'" Melden said. "I want to give a lot of credit to the local restaurant community. We have a strong community who wants to be engaged in Food for Thought and wants to be engaged in fighting hunger in our area."
Melden said he is always trying to come up with new and creative ways to fundraise. In May, Food for Thought hosted Jam City, which challenged local restaurants to create a dish inspired by the peanut butter and jelly sandwiches the organization gives away in sack lunches each Saturday morning in Downtown Toledo.
"This event will kind of be the opposite of Jam City," Melden said. "For Jam City, we had all the restaurants come to us and they had to do something different and unique. We charged admission and it was like a big party. Now we're sending our supporters back out to the restaurants. We're telling our restaurants not to do anything different and I think that's great."
Food For Thought, which formed in 2007, strives to build relationships in addition to providing food, Melden said.
"With Food For Thought, it's more about eye contact than it is about full stomachs; it's more about handshakes than it is about handouts," Melden told Toledo Free Press earlier this year. "Food is a vehicle to making simple, dignified relationships with people."
The money raised by Food Fight 419 will go toward the operation of Food for Thought's mobile pantry program, including food budget, gas and vehicle maintenance, Melden said. The organization recently acquired a second truck and trailer and expanded its outreach to 19 food pantries, 18 being mobile and one located at New Harvest Christian Church in Oregon.
"Just because something is going well doesn't mean the problem is going away," Melden said. "That's what happens sometimes with Food for Thought and other organizations. People see success and walk away because they think that means it's self-sustaining and they don't need my contribution, but that's not the case at all. We need community support more than ever."
Great spirit
Sandy Spang, owner of Plate 21, said she wanted to participate in Food Fight 419 because Food for Thought's emphasis on community mirrors her own business philosophy.
"The spirit within the Food for Thought organization is so great because you don't have a sense of us and them; you have a sense of community," Spang said. "The best ideas are simple and this is a simple, direct idea. It's also the season of Thanksgiving and we all have so much, so it's perfect timing. We're just honored to be part of it and share. I know Plate 21 customers will be happy to be part of this."
Hollywood Casino Toledo Executive Chef Brian Hein said giving back to the community is important to Penn National Gaming. All four casino restaurants — Epic Buffet, Final Cut Steak & Seafood, Scene and Take 2 Grill — are participating.
"Food Fight 419's focus on addressing hunger at a local level was something that really hits home," Hein wrote in an email. "We have other local partnerships that maintain local focus on feeding the disadvantaged every day. This is another way for us to jump in and hopefully spark a local reaction to assist the most urgent local need."
Melden said he's hoping for a big turnout.
"For people who support Food for Thought already, it's a great way to go thank restaurants for their support and it's a great way to take people out to eat and tell them about Food for Thought," Melden said. "For everyone who might be just getting to know Food for Thought or understand what it's all about, it's a great opportunity to go out to your favorite restaurants with intentionality — knowing the same day you are enjoying a meal out, you're also helping give back to the enormous percentage of people in our area who are not only not going out to eat, but are trying to figure out what they are going to make for their family that evening."

KINGSTREE, S.C. Putting a smile on a sick childs face. Thats is what Saturdays Biker Noise for Girls and Boys benefit ride is all about according to the rides founder and organizer Jake Stevens.
Comprised of a handful of riders from the region, the ride set out from the SC Department of Motor Vehicles in Lake City to visit Hunter Matthews at home with his grandparents in Kingstree. Their goal was to surprise the nine-year-old with a visit and some gifts to bring a bright spot to his week; it was the end of his first week of radiation and chemotheraphy treatments.
For Stevens, who lives in Darlington and works at McLeods Hospital in Florence, the Biker Noise for Girls and Boys ride is both a happy and sad experience. He has ridden motorcycles since a child and established the rides last year as a Christmas ride to bring toys to children at McLeods Hospital.
Its a little bit of joy, a little bit of sorrow as we only do this for sick children, said Stevens. Youre happy to see them smile but youre sad because you know something is not right.
Last year was our first run as a group and people come from all over the place to do these rides, he said. We found out about this little boy here in Kingstree we said why not do something for him. Stevens organizes each ride through Facebook and the group of riders differs each time. A ride can be as few as the half-dozen who visited Hunter or as many as the dozens in the ride to McLeods a ride that Stevens plans to organize annually. Others who cannot make the ride stop by to offer a gift, a donation, or just a simple blessing for the group to pass on.
Connie Braddick decided to join Saturdays trip to Hunter and said she had several rides to choose from this week and decided to visit Hunter because the young boys story reminder her of a child she knew called Heather.
There were several rides today, said Braddick. You just have to decide, not where you want to be, but what speaks to you.
Arriving at Hunter Matthews home, Braddicks smile was just as big as Hunters as she helped him onto the seat of her trike.
Barefoot and clutching his favorite Mario toy, Hunter called the surprise visit awesome and gave out hugs to the bikers and was wide-eyed at the gifts handed him; gifts he was shortly playing with on a porch swing with his eight-year-old brother Landon; their older brother, 10-year-old Gage, poured lemonade for the familys visitors.
Jay Matthews said he explained Hunters illness to his brothers by showing them a wart on his finger.
Thats Hunters brain (pointing to his finger) and thats a tumor. And I said the tumor grows on his brain and it dont supposed to be there, said Jay Matthews. They kind of took it at that but they dont really understand the severity of it.
According to Hunters grandfather, Jay Matthews, the boy begun screaming in pain two months ago and it took visits to several different doctors to finally discover the chicken-egg size tumor on his brain.
He missed the last month of school because he was in pain, said Jay Matthews, a self-employed auto mechanic who usually takes Hunter and his two brothers to school each day during the school year.
Jay Matthews said doctors attributed Hunters pain located primarily in his right hip area to a pulled hip ligament or even just the boy faking the pain.
One of his eyes had turned in and I had an eye appointment up here at Dr. Johnson in Kingstree, said Jay Matthews. At that appointment, Jay Matthew said Dr. Johnson wanted a specialist to look at Hunter.
The specialist came in on the 18th and dilated his eye and said this boys got pressure on his brain; he needs to go to (the Medical University of south Carolina) right now, said Jay Matthews. We took him straight there and it didnt take MUSC two hours to tell us he had a brain tumor.
Deemed inoperable, Jay and his wife Brenda Matthews, remain optimistic for their grandsons treatment and keep their faith close.
They put in a stent to relieve pressure on his brain and hes done good on that, said Brenda Matthews, who added that it was good to see him smiling when Bikers Noise for Girls and Boys arrived.
Hes been brave through it all, she said.

Homes Away from Home :: New England's Historic Hotels of America
The recent Boston gathering by member establishments of the "Historic Hotels of America," took place over lunch at the newly renovated restaurant Oak Long Bar + Kitchen at the Fairmont Copley Plaza hotel.
Historic Hotels of America is a "program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation," media notes for the event explained, which "identifies quality hotels that have faithfully maintained their historic integrity, architecture, and ambience."
Properties must meet specific criteria to be accepted into the ranks of the Historic Hotels of America: "[A] hotel must be at least 50 years old, listed in or eligible for the National Register of Historic Places or recognized as having historic significance." In other words, if you're looking for a hotel experience that lies outside of and beyond the cloned, nondescript look and feel of many chain hotels, the 230+ properties that belong to the program offer plenty for you.
Looking Good at 100
That includes the venue for the program's recent Boston media event and luncheon. The Fairmont Copley Plaza, which has been in operation since 1912, has greeted its centennial with a major renovation to the tune of $20 million that includes a new HVAC system, a new 3,000 square foot health club facility, upgrades to all the hotel's guest accommodations, and a major overhaul of Oak Kitchen + Long Bar, the very restaurant in which our sumptuous lunch was being served.
This was, as one attendee noted, a bold move indeed: The restaurant had reopened a mere 2 days previously; its renovations included taking down a wall, redecorating, creating a lighter color palette and hanging new, less light-blocking drapes, generally allowing for more light and a greater sense of spaciousness... and, of course, preserving some spectacular original details like the wooden ceiling with its gorgeously carved panels, another section of ceiling with ornate plaster moldings, and a few ship's prow style moldings along the walls.
The team behind the restaurant's redesign had worked extensively on Hollywood film sets. They brought this expertise to the task of creating a vibrant new look and feel for the space while simultaneously preserving and celebrating its original style elements. This included replacing the original chandeliers with similar, though new, chandeliers--and offsetting them with utterly contemporary new light elements. In other respects, past and present coexist in an almost reverential manner: At one point in the restaurant's history the place had featured a "carousel bar" that gradually rotated. The renovation uncovered the tracks in the floor that the carousel had once followed, but rather than rip the tracks out or cover them up once again, the designers worked around them, allowing them to remain visible, a subtle and intriguing hearkening back to earlier times.
Oak Boards and Delicacies
The kitchen provided us with three handsome courses. First was a charcuterie, which, as a hotel publicist at our table pointed out, followed one general theme of the establishment: About a third of the Oak menu is designed for sharing, and the restaurant's furnishings reflect the notion, with long benches and small, intimate tables. (There were some chairs, too: Super-heavy, for some reason, and sort of regal.)
The charcuterie platter, served on an oak board (actually, the name of the dish was just that: "Oak Board") was loaded with mounds of smoked speck, artisan salame, Fra-mani porchetta, Salumeria Biellese sopressata, and hunks of cheese: raw cow's milk cheese; a sharp, nicely aged Cabot Clothbound cheddar; Berkshire bleu cheese... delectable! There were also olives, pots of hearty mustard, and a small pot of peach chutney. Flatbreads accompanied the charcuterie, served on grey slabs of slate, but they weren't meant to hold the cheeses and meat; these flatbreads came pre-loaded. The Pulled Pork flatbread featured pickled grapes, smoked cheddar, salted caramel onions, and sweet corn; the Summer flatbread boasted the always tasty combination of tomato and basil, together with burrata cheese. The ingredients used for the generous toppings made them more like little pizzas than anything.
The conversation over the charcuterie started off with Lisa Burns, the Director of Marketing Communications for Boston's own Lenox, "the original boutique hotel," located not far from the Fairmont Copley Plaza. The Lenox certainly has the pedigree to belong to the ranks of Historic Hotels of America, having been built in 1900 for the then-astronomical sum of just over $1 million. The Lenox remains an early, if not the last, word in Beaux-Arts splendor; Its Dome Room famously features a gilded dome over an elegant ballroom, and that's just one of five events spaces, not to mention the hotel's three restaurants.
Hanover Inn
The conversation continued with a publicist from Hanover Inn, a hotel owned by Dartmouth College that "[overlooks] the Dartmouth Green" from a location where there have been "lodging establishments since 1780," according to a Hanover Inn flier.
Not unlike the Copley Fairmont Hotel, the Hanover Inn has been undergoing an extensive renovation process: $40 million in this case, for a hotel with 108 rooms--far fewer rooms than the Fairmont's 383 rooms and suites. "You can imagine the result," the Hanover's marketing director told us.
The Hanover has more to recommend it than the distinction of being the only hotel on the campus of Dartmouth, which is an Ivy League school. Its proximity to the Hopkins Center of Performing Arts, as well as a number of other museums and cultural venues, guarantees that guests need never be bored. The athletically inclined also will enjoy golf at the Hanover Country Club, as well as hiking (the Appalachian Trail passes by not far away), kayaking, skiing, and other activities.
Just before the waiter appeared to take our entrée orders, the General Manager stopped by. "How's everything?" he asked.
A chorus of pleased and admiring comments volleyed back, and he smiled.
"Some of you here are journalists?" he asked. "Be kind to us!" he added, with a grin. That would not be hard to do; the space is beautiful, the atmosphere welcoming, and the food thus far had been delectable.
Enter the Entrée
Indeed, the entrées all looked tempting: There was Nova Scotia halibut on offer, served with lemon herb butter and seasonal market vegetables; a skirt steak salad; a "Market Vegetable Sandwich," a roasted chicken salad sub, Powder Point Oysters Rockefeller in a Pernod cream with garlicky baby spinach, Jonah Crab au Gratin, "BCT" (bacon, cheddar, and tomato) sandwich, tagliatelle ("hand cut," no less).
It was a tough selection to make, but one item leapt out for me: the "Oak Burger," made with aged rib eye steak and topped with maple smoked cheddar and a toothsome sauce of onion aioli, not to mention a high stack of thin-cut onion rings pinned to the bun. To the side there sat a little bucket of French fries and an accompanying pot of ketchup. I ordered my burger medium, and it turned up perfect: juicy, tasty, and just pink enough inside, just the way I like it.
I'd ordered a glass of Merlot at the start of the meal and it lasted me all through the appetizer and entrée. Our waiter kept our glasses full with sparkling Perrier or, alternatively, bottled still water.

PitBull4 is a continuation of PitBull.
Differences from PitBull 3:
- It's mostly done, but not entirely done thus why there are still only betas (despite this it is still very stable).
- Documentation is written before functions
- Much easier for third-party extensions.
- Options will be much, much simpler. In 3.0, there's about 200 panels that you can mess with, it's overwhelming. I want to bring this down to somewhere around 10.
- Layouts are defined deterministically and unit groups use the layout rather than ad-hoc layouts on a per-unit basis. This will make setting up your unit frames far, far easier.
- Due to some decisions made, 4.0 is actually more configurable than 3.0. As a layout designer, you will have a lot more control over how things look. You can have different fonts on the same frame, different textures, more precise positioning, and a whole slough of other things.
- CPU Efficiency will be taken much more seriously.
- It uses Ace3 instead of Rock.

I'm having the same problems Ulrich is having: SERIOUS lag on two specific locations/encounters. At Gunship in ICC and Halion my screen seemingly freezes, but might move a frame or so after several seconds. One time it was like that for the duration of the Gunship battle, but it's usually a freeze and a DC.
I took a wild guess since the only common denominator between the two encounters were the "bossframe" thingy in the upper righthand corner of the screen, and disabled Pitbull. Not had a single freeze after. And this was after consistantly locking up each and everytime the second we pulled Halion for four times in a row..

- 1. Thanks for the prompt reply, it was impressive, just like this mod.
- 2. I know I should have searched the tickets for something like this, but WAY too lazy. Maybe a search function in the tickets?
- 3. I was messing around with it again today and think I realized something. I only had a problem after I deleted the "Default" unit frame. I deleted all of them but my "focus" one and that was the only one I have problems with. I messed with some other things and found that the "Default" one reinstalled itself and no more problems, except with the focus frame. Hopefully that will provide a lead on the problem.

@Shefki: Yes, I'm 110% sure. I deleted my old pitbull folders in the interface/addon directory and copied beta10 in.
Could it be a combination of pitbull4 and some other addon?

I meant using "|T..|t", not by modifying the results of the aura module. Thus the approximation. I do this to add a third aura display: debuffs, hots, and shields. And texts can be shown only when the mouse is over.
As for the UNIT_COMBAT, thanks! That was easy; sorry I had to ask about it :)Last edited Jul 06, 2010 by Kitjan

On Tuesday, June 15, a darkness shall fall over the land and the creatures of the night, both living and dead, will pour from the shadows and overwhelm humanity. Blood will flow; a prophecy of doom is about to be fulfilled. Lingering just below the horizon, hordes of nightmarish creatures have amassed, awaiting the sign to attack.
Dracula, the Mummy, the Voodoo Queen, Frankenstein's Monster, the Sea Creature and the Werewolf, along with more ghastly minions than you could dare to dream, stand ready to choke off the light and rule the world under a thick veil of eternal night.
Welcome to the world of McFarlane's Evil Prophecy. Created in association with legendary video game developer KONAMI and based on the first series in McFarlane Toys' ongoing line of McFarlane's Monsters action figures, McFarlane's Evil Prophecy, the latest game from Todd McFarlane Entertainment/ Todd McFarlane Productions, will be available June 15 for the Playstation 2 home gaming system.
The game features four separate modes of play:
STORY MODE (one player)
Play your way through an epic tale of good vs. evil as you control a team of four adventurers on their journey to save the world from destruction at the hands of some of history's most storied monsters.
DUNGEON MODE (one to four players)
Kill or be killed. Up to four players can join forces to cut their way through an ever-growing onslaught of enemies. The game ends only after all Hit Points have expired.
BATTLE MODE (one to four players)
This Mode is similar to Dungeon Mode, but with one slight exception ... it's every player for themselves in a free-for-all battle against not only the violent hordes threatening to take your life, but the other players as well. Battle Mode includes both Point Battle and Arena Battle. In Point Battle you must slash your way through both friend and foe in order to achieve victory. The player with the most points after the level has been cleared, wins. Arena Battle is strictly warrior-on-warrior combat with no enemies to distract you from cutting each other to pieces. Each player gets four lives and once they have all been used, you lose. The last player standing wins.
TIME ATTACK MODE (one to four players)
Test your monster-bashing skills in a race against the clock to determine who can dispatch the highest number of evildoers in the allotted time (each level records and saves the best times). As you play your way through the Story Mode more levels will be unlocked, with a total of 29 playable levels possible in Time Attack Mode.
There are also a number of bonus features -- Monster Cards, Movies and a Gallery -- some of which need to be unlocked and loaded in Story Mode before they are available, McFarlane's Evil Prophecy boasts a wide variety of options for players to explore and master.
In order to vanquish the forces of evil, players will have the ability to control a group of four unique adventurers known as "The Chosen Ones."
Dr. Hans Jaeger, the scientist: This is the man responsible for bringing this ragtag group together in a last-ditch effort to save us all. Not one you would mistake for a fighter, Dr. Jaeger knows all too well that he may not have the physical makeup necessary to fight back the forces that stand before him, but what he lacks in muscle-mass he more than makes up for with his keen intellect.
Sundano, the savage warrior: Sundano fights for the betterment of mankind, but, more importantly, to free his people from the clutches of the wicked Voodoo Queen. Nothing will stop him from achieving his goal and he will use every weapon at his disposal, from sharpened blades to his own special brand of holy magic, to see it through.
Delphine De Soras, the sure shot: Like most of the team, Delphine has a very personal interest in seeing to the demise of the ever-growing evil which threatens the world. A werewolf took the lives of both her father and her brother, and she will not rest until she has had the pleasure of unloading a silver bullet or two into the mangy beast's flea-ridden hide.
Logan Blackheart, the scoundrel: Blackheart has no desire to become a hero. The fate of the world is not his concern. Vengeance, however, is very much a part of who he is and at this moment nothing compels him more than the thought of crushing the life out of the foul creature from the dark depths of the sea that destroyed his ship and brutally murdered his crew.
Each character has their own specialized weaponry (electricity, blades, firearms, bombs) and attacks (four upgradeable combos per character and specialized Character Combination Attacks) and, as the body count rises and the carcasses continue to pile up, they will gain more power and new abilities, as well as find new weapons. The more you work as a team, the more powerful you will become.
In addition to the combo system, which allows the 16 character-specific combos (four per character) to be increased as each warrior's Experience Level rises, you can also customize each character's behavior. Do you want Delphine to attack only minions? Or, maybe you would prefer Logan to focus his rage on just the leaders (the larger, more powerful enemies you'll encounter on your travels). Using the Character Information screen in the Information Menu, you can devise attack strategies for the computer-controlled members of your party, who will then take up their positions as you work with them to cut your way through stage after stage, level after level.
Each character has three different attack settings to choose from once you have accessed the Character Information...
Normal, which tells the character to attack whatever monster is closest.
Minion, which directs the character to attack only the lesser monsters.
Leader, which tells the character to attack the "leader" monsters.
And you are not limited to adjusting attack settings. You can choose which combo you would like each warrior to favor -- Normal, Upper, Smash or Wide -- and you can select the positioning of your little band of evil-fighters. Where do you want each member placed in your group?
Front, leading the charge. (You may want someone here who is swift and agile enough to spot danger, yet brave enough to take the fight to the enemy.)
Center, in the thick of the battle. (A big brute with hands the size of bowling balls and a penchant for violence would be well-suited for this role.)
Guard, keeping a watchful eye on your teammates in case of trouble. (Keeping an eye out for evil and ascertaining exactly what needs to be done at moments notice could require a sharp mind.)
Back, out of harm's way, but not out of striking distance. (A good place for a young lady with a pair of six-shooters by her side maybe.)
As if the multiple forms of character customization weren't enough, the Information Menu also allows you to access the following screens:
Mission Information Screen. Here you can view an overhead map of your current location (specific to the stage you are playing at that moment) as well as brush up on your mission objectives.
Monster Cards. These cards contain information about the monsters you are facing, including helpful hints regarding their possible vulnerabilities.
World Map. This map shows you where you are in the overall world of McFarlane's Evil Prophecy.
You will need to learn which combinations of attack settings and teamwork will give you the best chance to defeat your enemies and with the number of creatures standing in your way, things aren't looking good for any player who decides to rush into battle without taking the time to assess the situation and rally the troops.
The Story Mode alone consists of six different levels and more than 30 stages of mayhem for you to fight your way through as you dispatch legions of minions in an effort to reach the six "super monsters" eagerly awaiting your arrival at the end of each level. Taken from some of history's most noted monstrosities the "super monsters" that stand in your way have been given "McFarlane-esque" tweaks and upgrades in order to give them a bit more of an edge, while remaining familiar to their origins.
The Werewolf, a ferocious, rabid beast that fears no man save the one with the silver bullet in his (or her) gun.
The Sea Creature, the scourge of the high sea, a predator plain and simple. It lives to hunt. While the rest of the "super monsters" have some small shred of humanity hidden deep within them, the Sea Creature has none. It acts on instinct alone.
Frankenstein's Monster, a brute whose strength far exceeds its intelligence, it wanted nothing to do with the outside world until it became a pawn of the ever-manipulative Dark Lord, Dracula. Now the Monster is but one of six major obstacles standing between the Chosen Ones and salvation.
Voodoo Queen, once a shaman priestess named Shacari, she has joined Dracula's inner circle with an eye toward immortality and a desire to see any who would oppose her transformed into undead followers of her wicked ways.
The Mummy, the ancient ruler of a lost civilization, has risen from his tomb, which for centuries has been hidden beneath the burning sands of the Egyptian desert, and now leads an army of enslaved souls in a battle to wipe out the living.
Dracula, the Prince of Darkness. A nightmare creature whose tale has been told and re-told throughout history. A warning to children and adults alike that there is evil in this world much worse than anything concocted by mortal man. The one being with the power and will to put an end to life as we know it, Dracula has come for our souls and he has brought a vast, unflinching army to assist in the draining of blood and removal of limbs.
Pray if you dare, but words won't save your soul. Not this time. Fight. Fight for your life. With sword and six-gun, mind and body, use every weapon at your disposal and never give up.

Maryland's U.S. senators are confident that an assurance this week from U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray Lahood will mean that the 149 small airport control towers — including one at Frederick Municipal Airport — will remain open for the rest of this federal fiscal year.
Congress passed a bill last week that allows the Federal Aviation Administration, which falls under LaHood, to transfer funding from airport improvements and other areas to keep from furloughing air-traffic controllers at major airports.
After the automatic sequester cuts passed by Congress in a 2011 budget deal had resulted in hundreds of flight delays and cancellations, Congress acted swiftly to resolve the issue.
The bill allows LaHood to shift up to $253 million in the FAA budget to keep from furloughing the air-traffic controllers. But congressional leaders had not been certain that the smaller airport towers with controllers under contract to the FAA would remain open past an agency-imposed June 15 deadline.
But Sens. Barbara Mikulski (D) of Baltimore and Benjamin L. Cardin (D) of Pikesville said in a joint statement Wednesday that they believe his guarantee that he now has enough funding to keep those towers in operation.
The FAA needed $200 million to avoid furloughing air-traffic controllers and $30 million to keep the 149 contract air control towers open, said Susan Sullam, a spokeswoman for Cardin.
"The crisis created by furloughing air traffic controllers and the plan to close the nation's federal ATC contract towers only served to highlight the fact that sequester is not good policy," the senators said in the joint statement.
"It's destructive to our economy, reducing employment when we should be stimulating it, and damaging priorities that are important to the American people. From harmful cuts in Head Start and Meals on Wheels to education programs and biomedical research, sequester is a meat-ax approach with mindless cuts that will continue to reverberate throughout our economy," the statement said.
Calls to the FAA were not returned immediately, and no statement was issued by LaHood's office. The cuts to the FAA budget were part of an $85 billion, across-the-board reduction in federal spending.
But Frederick Municipal Airport Manager Kevin B. Daugherty said prior to the announcement that he was "cautiously optimistic" the measure would allow the air-traffic control tower to remain open for the rest of the federal fiscal year, which ends Sept. 30.
The automatic sequestration cuts — which are only in effect for the current fiscal year — had originally meant the FAA would have furloughed the seven air-traffic controllers in Frederick and those at other regional airports on April 7.
"We went from April 7 to April 21 to June 15, so maybe this will get us through Sept. 30," Daugherty said.
After an intense lobbying campaign by congressional and local lawmakers, federal transportation officials gave the Frederick Municipal Airport tower, which opened less than a year ago, a reprieve until June 15.
The postponement was granted to give Congress time to avoid the cuts and for transportation officials to study the potential economic and safety impact of the closures.
City and state officials have said closing the Frederick tower and four other regional towers in Maryland would cause economic problems for those communities, as well as create safety issues for pilots.
Congress acted after the FAA furloughs of air-traffic controllers at larger airports caused hundreds of flight delays and cancellations nationwide, which impacted some members of Congress and their traveling constituents.
Once the sequester cuts hit them, Congress acted quickly to shift funding in the FAA budget — so quickly that a Senate version of the bill passed last week had a typographical error that required them to pass the House version of the bill to correct the issue.
In the immediate aftermath of the bill's passage, the FAA has said little about whether the bill would provide them with enough funding to avoid any furloughs for the end of the year, either at major or smaller contract airports.
After the congressional action last week, the FAA issued just a terse, two-sentence statement that the agency had suspended all employee furloughs, and flights would resume normal operations by Sunday.
There were two versions of the bill, one that included contract towers and another that did not, according to Craig Spence, vice president for operations and international affairs at the AOPA.
The measure that passed was the bill that did not include the contract towers, he said.
However, that bill had a typo that read "account" instead of "accounts" in referring to the funds that the FAA could draw upon that had to be fixed before going to President Obama for his signature, Spence said.
That offered a chance for the contract towers — which includes about 50 percent of the towers nationwide — to be included in the final version, he said.
But the Senate approved the House version of the bill Monday, fixing the wording but making no other changes, according to a spokesman for U.S. Rep. John Delaney (D-Dist. 6) of Chevy Chase.
If the towers are closed, general aviation would be suffer more because it is more likely to use smaller airports with contract towers, Spence said.
Cardin, a member of the Senate Finance Committee, praised the action to alleviate the furloughs of the air-traffic controllers, but called on Congress to end all of the sequestration cuts.
"We've found a fix for this one problem, but it's time for us to take broader action and make the tough decisions necessary to replace all of the sequestration cuts," Cardin wrote in an emailed statement. "I have never supported sequestration. I always thought that was a big mistake. These are across-the-board mindless cuts that say every priority in government is the same. That's just wrong."
In a letter to FAA officials, Delaney had previously argued that the Frederick and Hagerstown airports should remain open based on the more than $2 million in business and the 2,500 jobs they represent.
"I have formally urged both the FAA and the Department of Transportation to continue to fund the control towers in Frederick and Hagerstown because having a strong transportation infrastructure is vital to our competitiveness and a strong economy," Delaney said Tuesday.
In addition, federal workers and contractors have already borne the brunt of the nation's economic downturn, Cardin said.
Five of the seven air traffic controllers in Frederick are also military veterans, Daugherty said.
"We don't want to lose their services, and they're quite valuable to us," he said.

In the month or so until my band get back together I've been working on writing some new material, and want to try and expand how complex my songs are. I apologise if there are alot of questions - I'll gladly split them up if needs be.
Say I've got a nice little riff/idea in D minor. I'm happy that the relative major of that is F major, how modes fit into a major/natural minor scale, the tonality of the various degrees of the scale, and the concept of the circle of fifths. I also appreciate that a song need not necessarily change key to have a very different sound.
I'm looking at complete changes of key to try and bring a new direction to a song outside of these ideas. So ultimately, can someone explain:
a) What keys can I change to from a given key?
b) What is the theory behind the potential key change?
c) The word modulation seems to by used alot in similar circumstances. What is the difference between a key change and a modulation?
The more detail the better, as I want to understand the theory behind what I'm doing for myself rather than just follow rules blindly.

McFARLANE GOES NASCAR IN 2003
Teams With Action Performance to Create New Company
Tuesday, October 29, 2002
By some cruel twist of fate, the McFarlane-NASCAR connection cat is out of the bag. Now, time for the "official" word ...
It's all true.
Yes, speed-fiends, Todd McFarlane has a new partner in, er, time (think elapsed time): Action Performance.
The two have combined their knowledge and expertise in their individual fields to create a new venture: Action McFarlane. This new company will handle all facets of the upcoming NASCAR action figures.
Action Performance, also based in Phoenix, is something of the Holy Grail when it comes to motorsports. Given that McFarlane is the Holy Grail of detailed action figures, it seems the joint venture was bound to happen.
Add to that the fact that NASCAR pretty much tops the list of most-wanted figures from our fans (maybe they'll stop flooding our e-mail in-boxes with requests now), and action figures of top drivers is a no-brainer.
Action Performance has exclusive licensing agreements with NASCAR's top drivers, including eight of 2001's Top 10 Winston Cup finishers. While the initial line - set for a summer 2003 release - has not been solidified at this time, it will likely include such drivers as Rusty Wallace, Jeff Gordon, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Tony Stewart, among others.
NASCAR popularity is at an all-time high and Action Performance has been riding that wave for years.
"I've always felt, if you are going to be successful in business, then hang around the experts," said Todd McFarlane. "In this case, that becomes Action Performance. By using the company's history and skill in delivering high-quality NASCAR merchandise, as well as Action Performance's vast knowledge of the NASCAR community in general, it became obvious to our companies that joining forces would be in the best interest of both parties."
Again, no solid details on lineups or specific release dates at this time. Look for that information here as it becomes available.

I had my regular 24 week checkup with my regular OB today. My blood pressure was 132/78 and my weight was 178 lbs. This would be great, except my blood pressure at my primary care was 142/100 on Wednesday and my weight at my last appointment 4 weeks ago was 161 lbs (a loss of 7 lbs from the appt before that). So that's a big weight gain and a pretty big pressure swing.
My toddler was fussy earlier this week due to recovering from a bug, so I suspect some of Wednesday's blood pressure high might have been stress from dealing with the tantrums. Still, stress normally doesn't affect me that much. The weight is an even bigger question mark. I don't have any swelling yet, not even in my feet or ankles.
I have an appointment in a week with the MFM for another ultrasound. My OB wants me to mention the weight to them and see about adjusting my medication even though my blood pressure was good at this visit. I'm hoping for more information then, but in the meantime I'm just puzzled. Any ideas about the weight? If I'm not swelling, then what the heck is going on?
The baby's heartbeat was good, by the way, and he's still kicking plenty, so I'm not really worried about him yet. I just wish I knew more what was going on with my body right now. :/

another great Bosca product
I have owned a very similar Bosca wallet for about 10 years...great product, but now wearing out. This replacement made with precise stitching, different hand-applied color on inside and outside, and just the right size for my needs.
October 14, 2013
compact, elegant, functional, & durable
This is my second Bosca wallet. It's the same style that I had before except that it has an accented trim (with that same color on the interior). I really like the contrast that Bosca put into this Montreal design.
The dimensions are perfect. I can hold 10-15 bills, 4 cards on each side and a few miscellaneous cards w/in the interior pockets. Yet, the bifold still maintains its slim profile so I hardly feel it in my back pocket. And it won't cause any unsightly marks/creases in my jean pockets over time, which I appreciate. I bought another one in a different color just as a back up.
Originally, I had tried a Jack Spade just to switch things up but soon realized that Bosca works best for me.
