18 sts + 26 rnds = 4 in. (10 cm) in St st worked in the rnd (k every rnd) with B; 15 sts = 4 in. (10 cm) in St st worked in the rnd with A. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. The needle or hook size called for in the pattern is based on what the designer used, but it is not unusual for gauge to vary from person to person. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make your swatch, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles. Making a Gauge Swatch
Exact gauges is not imporant to this project.

Bankruptcy Law
Bankruptcy Law Questions? Ask a Bankruptcy Lawyer Now.
Regretablly, the situation that you describe is a common result of divorce.
The court can award a joint obligation to one party to pay, but if that party doesn't pay, then the other party's credit is damaged.
Bankruptcy will not fix your problem, because the mortgage is a secured debt, and it is not dischargable in bankruptcy. To my knowledge, unless the judge could be convinced to set aside the prior judgment and order the house sold (which, I seriously doubt is possible), there is no recourse.
I note that your attorney said you could sue your ex for being continuously late on the mortgage. But, unless he promised to pay the mortgage on time, you would have no cause of action against him. He was awarded the debt -- so, it's his to pay or default on.
About the only thing that I can think of that you could sue for would be "interferece with prospective contractual relations," and for that you would have to show that your ex's failure to pay was intentional or negligent, and that it was with knowledge of your existing or prospective contracts which would be damaged by his actions.
I don't think you can make that case.
I wish there were a solution to this problem -- if there were, I could make a fortune, because so many need a solution. But, there just isn't any that I'm aware of.

Gynostemma (Jiaogulan) belongs to the same family of plants as cucumbers and melons, but it does not bear an edible fruit or vegetable. Harvested in the late summer, the leaves of Jiaogulan are dried and used for healthcare products and medicine.
Although it has long been used for beverages and medicine in southern China, praised in China as the herb of immortality, Jiaogulan was not known to the general scientific community until relatively recently.
In 1976 a Japanese researcher, discovered an herb with many qualities similar to ginseng. This event sparked years of scientific research on Jiaogulan, revealing it to be a powerful adaptogenic and antioxidant herb with many health-giving properties.
Currently, researchers are investigating the role of Jiaogulan in preventing and treating a wide variety of conditions. Studies have confirmed the following benefits of Jiaogulan:
Scientific studies have confirmed Jiaogulan ability to assist the regulation of serum cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL (bad cholesterol), and HDL (good cholesterol, which helps to metabolize cholesterol from the arteries).
Blood Pressure:
Jiaogulan has been widely reported to be effective in maintaining healthy blood pressure levels. Although the exact mechanism is still being researched, studies have shown that Jiaogulan improves the metabolism of the heart directly as well as enhances the release of nitric oxide in the body, which helps to relax the coronary blood vessels.
While Jiaogulan is great for regulating cholesterol, it also assists a good weight loss program, by improving and strengthening digestion. At the same time, it helps an underweight person by assisting the absorption of nutrients. This regulatory effect on bodily functions is the hallmark of an Adaptogen.
Strength and Endurance:
The results of human studies confirm that Jiaogulan can enhance the contractility of the heart muscle and heart pumping function. Other studies have shown that the saponins in Jiaogulan increase strength and endurance in the body.
Considering these findings overall, Jiaogulan becomes the perfect herb for anyone who wants to improve his competitive edge in any field of athletic performance.
Jiaogulan has also demonstrated an ability to support the immune system when under the siege of various destructive agents. Jiaogulan has also shown its effectiveness, in clinical research studies, as a potent immune modulator. It increases the production of Lymphocytes, Phagocytes, and Serum IGG.
Adaptogenic Properties:
Jiaogulan has a biphasic effect on brain functions, energizing or calming the system depending upon need, as well as on the regulation of hormonal functions in both men and women.
The healthy maintenance of these physiological actions plays a major role in the body's ability to cope with stress.
Antioxidant Properties:
The results of many scientific studies show that Jiaogulan powerful antioxidant quality protects against free radical damage.

More on Cupcake Economics
I didn't get to include anywhere near all the insight the owner of Muddy's Bake Shop shared with me for this article I wrote about the explosion of cupcake shops in Memphis.
Here now is more from Kat Gordon, the sweet-treat-baking proprietor of an East Memphis eatery that prides itself on "lovin' from the oven."
Q. Why are cupcake shops so popular?
A. Cuteness and deliciousness aside, there's a strong economic reason cupcakes have taken off. As consumers, we're all looking for small treats that are "affordable". Granted, "affordable" is very subjective and as the market variety grows, so does the variation in price. A lot of cities now have price points that range up to $4 or $5 each. But I guess in the grand scheme, even that still qualifies as a small treat when a lot of families are making larger budget cuts. Back to cuteness and deliciousness… they're cute and single serving sized, so they're a great treat that you can get in a variety of quantities. And it's a miniature cake- who doesn't like cake???

left the house this morning and someone had stolen my ISU flag off my flag pole on the front of my house.
i don't even care about paying for a new one or anything, it's the other crap. My wife is all freaked out because someone was in our yard. our house was broken into about 1 and a half years ago and it was during the summer. So she's really freaked again.
anyway, just had to vent a was curious if anyone else has had this happen. I'm sure it was just kids who are just punks, but i'm blaming idiot hawk hans.
Wow, that sucks. Who steals a flag? Oh wait....it would only have been a Sqawk Fan.
Had one stolen from my yard back when I lived in Ames near the stadium. I just figured drunk college kid thought it'd look coll in his/her dorm.

we don't have to be serious all the time. i like dark things, and it's fun. i'm laughing in flames.
we don't have to be serious all the time. i like dark things, and it's fun. i'm laughing in flames.
i'm not completely sure why, but it seems as if my tastes delve further and further into darkness as i get older. perhaps it is the cruelties of the world that has jaded my hopelessly romantic disposition; perhaps it is my way of saying fuck you right back. i feel myself drawn to evil; amused and titillated. but only to a certain degree. as i feel myself drawing darkness into my soul, i also feel myself wanting to send out more light. i find myself wanting to protect the few good things out there, guard them with my life. i want to remind people that you're supposed to be good, because i feel like everything out there is telling us it's okay not to be. it's a dog eat dog world. you have to kill to survive. i know that's how it is, but we make it so. i want to tell people to look into the mirror, and then ask themselves who the real threat is. i want to tell myself to do exactly that. i don't believe the answer is to just forget it and give and give and give. because you will get crushed out there. but don't just take. try not to make it worse.
to be sublime.
i don't know what this is but i like it.
Narcissus is a teenage girl. No other figure loves her; she loves herself to fill the difference. She watches herself constantly: in the darkened windows of cafés and storefronts and the silvered glass in her bathroom. Alone she pouts, minces, tosses her hair, shapes her face for every angle. She knows her good side. She knows how to move her mouth. She generates self-awareness as the world becomes aware of her.
from the article "I'm Not Myself You See", by larissa pham
i heard about robin williams' death and i got sad. then i decided to re-watch dead poets society in his memory. i hadn't seen it in years and i realized that i now knew most of the poetry. and then i got a little warm inside. i also cried a little. i love that movie.
They're not that different from you, are they? Same haircuts. Full of hormones, just like you. Invincible, just like you feel. The world is their oyster. They believe they're destined for great things, just like many of you, their eyes are full of hope, just like you. Did they wait until it was too late to make from their lives even one iota of what they were capable? Because, you see gentlemen, these boys are now fertilizing daffodils. But if you listen real close, you can hear them whisper their legacy to you. Go on, lean in. Listen, you hear it? – – Carpe – – hear it? – – Carpe, carpe diem, seize the day boys, make your lives extraordinary.
Boys, you must strive to find your own voice. Because the longer you wait to begin, the less likely you are to find it at all. Thoreau said, "Most men lead lives of quiet desperation." Don't be resigned to that. Break out!
This is a battle, a war, and the casualties could be your hearts and souls.
Robert Frost said, "Two roads diverged in the wood and I, I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference."
I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life.
thank you.
oh, and discussion: i mean, between donna tartt and neil gaiman, i've actually gotten to see and meet some of my absolute favorite (and i mean favorite) authors, and only very recently. i have to say that the experience is unlike anything else. a good writer bares a part of themself that lies deep inside while writing a book. woven into the fiction is the absolute truth about the person writing it. so only getting a writer's work allows you to get to know them on a level that's indescribable, and quite private, while having no direct interaction whatsoever. loving the work and, in extension, that part of the author, allows for a very substantial experience when seeing and/or meeting them in real life. the connection you've formed with their words becomes solidified in the physical meeting. and it's most likely that the soul of the literature corresponds with that of the author; if you resonate with the first, then of course you'll love the second as well. that combined with the pure gratification and appreciation you feel for the writer for writing this book that you've fallen in love with – how can you not have stars in your eyes?
i realized i still haven't written about when i "stumbled upon" neil gaiman.
tuesday was the day of the "international author scene" interview with mr. gaiman. i hadn't been able to score tickets because everyone else was apparently just a bit more eager than i, but i did manage to see it on a screen. kind of. they did a live screening in the movie theatre, for the fans who still wanted to see it really badly. at first the stream was high def but lagged every five seconds, and then it was kind-of-but-not-fully low def with no lag. i enjoyed it nevertheless, but really wished i was there seeing it live. you know that "oh so unfair i want to be there more than anything" feeling you get when you're witnessing something but not really participating in it.
anyways, gaiman was lovely.
so after the interview, kiki (who'd been with me all along) and i roamed around in the building, looking for the signing. the woman (girl?) who'd told us about the screening said that we'd get to go even though we only had tickets to the screening, which was why i'd been so keen. i mean that's a sweet deal. turns out, there wouldn't be a signing. i was pretty bummed. however, i'd heard that he was doing a signing at the science fiction book store the next day, so i figured i'd give that a shot. but. to get your book signed at 4 pm, you had to go to the store at 10 am to get a ticket for the line. so i was like oh god how am i going to manage that, but fine okay i'll try.
okay parallel plotline: the same day as the interview, i'd gotten an email from swedish television (the network, not the concept as a whole), inviting me to the recording of the final episode of this great tv programme about literature. it was to happen the next day, and i was welcome to bring friends. i'd signed myself up to be an audience member a couple of months ago, but school had come in the way. i guess i was still on the mailing list. anyways, it sounded really fun so i thought why not. i wrote in my class group on fb, asking if anybody felt tempted. and sure enough, i'd be accompanied by three classmates.
i mean it seems really obvious now that it has all played out, but i was completely clueless at the time.
when my alarm went off at 8 am, after having gotten about three hours of sleep, it was pretty obvious that i was not going to get that ticket to the signing. i was meant to be going to a morrissey sing-along with some people from my class later that night (referenced in a previous post), and just no i needed the fuel. so i figured i'd just show up at 4 pm, after the recording, and wish for the best. i turned my head to the ceiling and said: "please god let it all work out. i love you regardless, but it'd be really neat." and then i went back to sleep.
some hours later, at 1:30 pm, i was standing in line with my classmates and the rest of the audience members. breathless and weak-legged from having stressed my way to the subway, and then to the bus, and then to the television studio; i was starting to get excited. that familiar bubbly sensation was starting to rise in me. a couple of minutes later, we were escorted into the studio and wow this was what it looked like in real life. it was lighter and less intense than it looked on tv. it kind of reminded me of a starry sky; midnight blue background and spots of artificial light scattered everywhere. now i was really excited.
so we sat down, and i started thinking about who the guests might be. i remember thinking that it'd be fun if i knew who at least one of them was, but that it wouldn't matter as long as they were nice to listen to. at least i'd get to see the host, who was a phenomenon in and of herself. she'd come to be one of those people, you know, who you have a picture of in your head, thinking wow. more about that later. so a lady came out, some kind of executive producer i think, and started to explain what was happening. she told us about when to clap and not, and what was happening in the episode. she told us that it'd be an extra special episode, and that the guests were this pretty major swedish children's book author (at which i thought oh that's nice) and also neil gaiman.
wait, what?
neil gaiman?
neil gaiman.
neil gaiman.
the gasps echoed through the audience. i. freaked. out. silently but still very much outwardly. what are the odds what are the odds this is the best day of my life what are the odds, is pretty much what my head sounded like.
so then the host came out, and i had another gasp-moment, but not as big (sorry but i mean come on it was post bomb-drop). she's one of those people who you can tell has had a lot of time to just grow into themselves. big curly auburn hair, sides pinned back. thin, but naturally so. cream and black colored form-fitted dress that flares out at the waist, matching shrug. burgundy colored lipstick. really high black wedge ankle boots. you know the kind of people who wear an outfit that makes you go not a single other person on this earth could pull this off except them? yeah, one of those. (i mean she has an ampersand tattooed on her arm – love her.) she was really nice and graceful and relaxed. not as intense as on television, and still a total pro. such a cool woman.

when the recording started, there were some segments and a really charming interview with the first author. it was lovely to watch, but my head was still reeling from the notion that neil gaiman was in the building and about to walk out. and then, during a break in recording, he was just standing there to the left of us. like, within an arm's reach. just like, right there. i remember thinking jesus, warn a girl you can't just walk out like its nothing. dressed in all black; blazer, slacks and a sweater. relaxed posture, hands held behind back. the iconic, stormy hair. i tried to not stare like a freak while the tv people explained how it would all go down. i am certain i failed but whatever i was awestruck okay?
and then the interview. i think that we were all enchanted. earlier today, i saw that the host tweeted that you could probably see the exact moment when she fell in love with him, and to that i say – my sentiments exactly. eloquent, and relaxed, and kind, and smart. witty, soft-spoken, puts the backs of his hands against each other while explaining something, and his british isn't pronounced but present nevertheless. he spoke about life, and his wife, and about how he lived as much in books as he did anywhere else and i just sighed wistfully.
by the time the interview was over, i was traversing on periwinkle clouds. then i became very determined to get my sandman (preludes & nocturnes, of course) signed, because wow this was the chance i didn't know i'd been waiting for. so i went to the executive producer lady and asked if there was a chance, she said something like i'm not sure he might come out the back but you can't go backstage. so then i scurried off in a panicky flurry thinking okay the back the back wait what back? after running around i walked outside the studio, to see him standing there, taking a picture with a very happy-looking young man. then neil gaiman started walking toward the exit.
without thinking, i went up to him and said so sorry, do you think you have time for one more signing? and then neil gaiman, so soft-spoken and nice, said of course. by this point i was shaking and digging around in my backpack, muttering where is it where is it and then oh there it is! he asked how i spell my name and i spelled it out all nervously and then added that it was quite unusual (yes hi my name is captain obvious, and you?). and then he said very pretty. neil gaiman said that my name was very pretty. i just thought !! and then ranted on about oh thank you so much this is a favorite of mine it means so much. and he just smiled and looked all soft-spoken and witty and wise and sweet and then he added a "love" to the signature. neil gaiman sent me his love. !!. i accepted the book, still shaking because come on what is this even. and then he went on and i just proceeded to freak out outside the tv studio for about five minutes before continuing with my day.
conclusion: these things just don't happen. my day/year/life is made. i'm a little bit in love with neil gaiman.
i was waiting for the bus in the rain when i got to thinking about umbrellas. that we have this thing where we suspend pieces of synthetic fabric over our heads when it rains. like small roofs. and then we just walk around, holding these roofs up to keep from getting wet. imagine an alien seeing us walking around like that. it's strange. especially seen from above. a bunch of small roofs moving around, getting hit with thousands of small beads of water.
i fell in love on my way home tonight. i fell in love on the train. he was sitting opposite me, reading a book. he had blond tousled hair, a moustache and black clothes, and i really wanted to ask what he was reading. he kept his eyes on the pages almost the whole trip, except for the one station where he just kept flitting his eyes back and forth. i wanted to ask what was happening. but i didn't. because that would be weird. sometimes, he'd smile a little as he read, and i wanted to smile too. but that would be weird, so i didn't. some pages were dog-eared, and i didn't approve, but i thought to myself, baby i don't care. no i didn't. because that would be weird. he got off one station before me and i thought to myself, what if i were to go after him, tell him i just had to say something. but no. that would be weird. when i reached my own station, i let him go. or almost. first, i wrote a post about how i fell in love with him on my way home tonight, just in case. no i didn't. that would be weird.
i don't know. there's just something about a smiths sing-along that just breaks your heart. something about hearing people screaming the words in the next room while you stare into your glass, beer flat and disgusting. people dancing and laughing and kissing, and you're just there. and you feel so alone. you don't have anyone. you don't have someone. no one that is right there, ready to bear themself whenever you look at them. intimately, whole-heartedly, because they're yours. and you sit there thinking why and please and why again. and there's just something about having a smiths song playing in the next room, hearing everyone scream along when you just want to hear it alone in your bedroom. and you realize that you've given away your headphones for the night. and you're so lonely. it's devastating.
donna tartt. small stature. impeccably fitted black suit, white shirt, red tie. patent oxfords. silky, perfectly straight hair – parted in the middle, cutting her chin. relaxed posture, spread out in her chair. confident. straight forward. enunciates, with clear t's. doesn't laugh if it isn't funny. doesn't give stupid answers to stupid questions. private. not harsh, despite probable interpretation of description. sometimes has to start a sentence over several times to find the right wording. genuine. dignified. sharp. very, very cool.
i don't think i've ever seen a person resonate with the "me", that i'm aspiring to let myself be, to the extent that she did. it's strange, because she meant so much to me already – as the author of a book that changed me. and now we have the author herself. regardless of the sometimes questionable interviewer, she was perfect. inspiring.
the paper trembled with the shake of my hand as i prepared to have my book signed. opened to the right page, post-it with the spelling of my name ready. i stood in line, constantly looking past the other people in front of me to see her interactions with them. should i tell her how much the secret history means to me? how it took me to a world that was here and yet not here at all, and how that's when i learned what real magic was? what writing could do? should i tell her that the first thing i wrote, that strangers could read and knew i wrote, was about her book? that it basically was me trying to get the whole world to read it, even though i knew it was only read by about a hundred people? should i tell her all that?
no, i thought. i don't think she's that kind of person. everyone's just saying thank you and running away. she's having to say "bye!" to countless backs, i think she already left minutes ago, really. and then it was my turn. and i shook, and said hi!, voice softer and an octave higher than dignified. she smiled a little and asked me how i was. i don't think she ever smiles with even the slightest hint of a lie. the blood rushed through my ears and i think that i made sounds that equal me replying. she saw the post-it and asked: "is this your real name?" i said yes, and she asked how it's pronounced. i told her, and as she was signing, she nodded her head and repeated it almost perfectly. r rolled and all.
a thought came into existence and decided to make an instant appearance. i just have to say that you're my absolute favorite writer. in that moment, it was the total truth. i could hear it in my own voice, as if it was separate from me. she looked up into my eyes, and said thank you so much. as if it was the most natural thing in the world, we reached out at the same time and shook hands. warm. firm, but not harsh. earnest. thank you so much for signing, it really means a lot. thank you for coming, she replied. have a nice evening, i said and almost turned to leave. she spoke again. thank you. take care. time paused for just a nanosecond. you too!, i said, voice turning soft and an octave above dignified once more. then i sped off, thinking silent shouts to myself.
wow. so, so cool.
(ps. happy birthday, blog. one year already. time is an illusion with the ability of aviation.)
the bassline (de-ba-ser) the melody (DEBASER) girl you so groovy (de-ba-ser) the drums (DEBASER) the scream-singing (de-ba-ser) i am un chien andalusia (DEBASER) the back-ups (de-ba-ser)
do you know
the way i feel tonight?
don't let go…
it's beautiful tonight
it makes me feel alive
it's beautiful inside
i'm safe here in a pale blue sky
it's beautiful inside
brighter than the stars
when i catch your eye,
when i catch your eye
when i catch your eye
it's beautiful inside
when our tears subside
it's beautiful inside
a while ago, in the midst of winter, the idea of planting a flower entered my head. as i saw everything around me dead and covered in cold, i became fixated with bringing something to life. i told myself that once spring was here, i'd create something beautiful that whispered spring. that laughed summer. one flower became three, and now i finally have my seeds planted. i'm already too attached. no really. they have names and everything. my thoughts of them are already tinted with love. i think they deserve it though – they're the earth. the sun's still being shy, but i hope it'll work anyway. that the seeds will grow and bloom. you take what you get and do what you can, right?

The Real Housewives of Atlanta: Welcome to Miami!
January 16, 2011 09:30 PM by Shayla Perry
This week on all new episode of Bravo's Real Housewives of Atlanta, the ladies are off to Miami for one of the stops on Kandi Burruss' promo tour and to celebrate Cynthia Bailey's upcoming nuptials, but when Kim Zolciak tries to make plans to change their "Girls Only" weekend, she stirs up trouble with her best frenemy, NeNe Leakes–again.What else did you miss?
On this week's all new episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta on Bravo, it's Day 2 of Kandi Burruss' promo tour, and Kim Zolciak is getting restless having to deal without smoking and drinking on the bus. When they have to make yet another stop for Kim to have a cigarette, Kandi's decided that she's had enough of Kim and her assistant Sweetie.
After another B12 shot (seriously), Kim gives NeNe Leakes a call to invite her to come on the bus and then watch one of her performances, hoping that she'll help lighten up the mood.
At work, NeNe's about to present her Jermaine Dupri interview on her entertainment segment, "Keepin' It Real with NeNe," but when Kim and Kandi watch the interview, Kim is NOT impressed with the fact that NeNe knocked her age and "talent" when talking to the superstar producer, and wants to call her and ask her if she thinks that 32 is too old to have a pop hit. Kandi urges Kim not to call NeNe and to instead have her come see her performance and let the audience reaction to her song speak for itself.
Bride-to-be Cynthia Bailey and Sheree Whitfield stop by Phaedra Parks' house for lunch, and are surprised to find out that she prepared the entire meal herself. With Phaedra being overwhelmed with work and motherhood, and Cynthia burdened with wedding plans, they agree that the upcoming trip to Miami will be a good break for them all, and then baby Ayden proceeds to spit up right on Cynthia.
On their way to Orlando, Kandi and Kim's entourage stops at a roadside BBQ put in Georgia, but Kim has trouble finding something to eat on the menu since she's a vegetarian and isn't happy that no one took that into consideration when choosing a restaurant. (Um– wasn't she eating pepperoni pizza in a previous episode?) Instead, she has a smoke outside with the bus driver and Sweetie, and Kandi and Sweetie have a small scuffle when some cigarette smoke blows into Kandi's face.
Cynthia Bailey and Peter have 15 days until their wedding and Peter drops a bomb when he announces that he completely shut down his failing restaurant, Uptown. Cynthia's first thought was that she wasn't going to get the money back that she lent him for the restaurant, then she realizes that without any income from Uptown, their wedding plans are in danger.
Peter says that they need about $20,000 to make Cynthia's dream wedding happen, and tells her not to worry, but Cynthia's concerned that they won't be able to do it with so little time. When Cynthia starts freaking out, Peter gets upset with her for not being able to handle the news, but then allows her to cry on his shoulder and apologizes.
Back on the bus, Kandi is getting fed up with all of the drama and noise Kim Zolciak brings with her–especially her relationship with Sweetie.
Kim's daughter Arianna calls her in tears, telling her that she misses her, which upsets Kim, but Sweetie tells her that it's all for the best.
On Day 3, Kandi and Kim are headed to a meet & greet at a salon, and again– Kim needs a cigarette, but when Sweetie walks outside without shoes on and Derek J says that it's because she's been "hangin' around with white people too much," Sweetie gets angry and tells Kim.
Kim yells into the bus, "What's wrong with white people?", which prompts Kandi to get off the bus and confront the two of them, telling them that Sweetie's taking things way too seriously. Sweetie says that it's Kandi that's been uptight throughout the trip, and Kandi explains that it's because Sweetie and Kim are always so loud and obnoxious. Agreeing to disagree, Kandi tells Sweetie that she just won't say anything to her anymore.
After the uproar, the ladies make their way into the salon and pose for pictures with their fans.
Cynthia Bailey and her sister/assistant meet with NeNe Leakes for lunch and she tells them about Peter closing Uptown. NeNe doesn't like that Peter won't tell Cynthia about his plans for finding the money for the wedding. Cynthia's sister tells her that she thinks she should postpone the wedding until things are better, and NeNe wants her to call it off altogether, but Cynthia is hesitant because she wants her wedding, and hopes that their situation (and relationship) will improve afterward.
Phaedra Parks and her husband, Apollo, are making breakfast together, and Phaedra's not satisfied with how much (or how little) Apollo's been helping out. Apollo suggests that they should designate days that each of them spend watching the baby, but Phaedra doesn't think he'd be able to handle the demands of parenting as well as she does.
Apollo's not worried about Phaedra leaving for Miami and having to be with the baby and is ready for the challenge, but Phaedra isn't as confident in him, and calls her mother to come help out while she's gone.
Kandi, Kim & company are excited to be spending an evening in a hotel instead of the bus.
In the hotel room, Kim talks to her wig stylist, Derek J, and asks him about the whole "white people" issue. Derek tells Kim that it's something that she just doesn't understand, but that other people see all the time when she's with Sweetie.
NeNe Leakes arrives to support Kim during her performance and Kim tells NeNe that it's been stressful on the tour so far.
On the bus before the performance, NeNe tries to give Kim some pointers, but Kandi doesn't like that the evening seems to be turning into the "Kim and NeNe show."
It's NeNe's first time seeing Kim performing, and she is not impressed with the fact that she's simply singing over a track– like the kids at her son's school talent shows, but she's surprised that Kim didn't get booed off the stage.
After the show, NeNe, who's had a little too much to drink, starts bashing Kim's performance– jokingly.
Kandi's concerned because while she's on the road, her daughter Riley will be staying with her father, who's making an attempt to be a part of her life, for the first time.
When NeNe gets on the bus, she tells Kandi and Don Juan that Kim's been complaining about how they've said that her cigarette breaks are so frequent, but when Kandi tells NeNe what's really been going on on the bus, they all have a laugh and agree that the way Kim talks to Sweetie is way out of line.
On the way to Miami, Kim's making arrangements for the ladies' "Girls' Weekend," and includes Don Juan and Sweetie, which sets NeNe off. Kim insists that it's justified because ultimately, the trip is for business, which Don Juan and Sweetie are a part of.
NeNe quickly tells Kim that what she does isn't "work," like it is for Kandi, and when Kim starts yelling at her, NeNe tells her that her "slave" is behind her, referring to Sweetie. Kim takes offense to what NeNe's said and tells NeNe to focus on her own life, suggesting that NeNe is jealous of her success, and even refers to her as an "intern at 11 Alive" (oh, no!). NeNe erupts over Kim's use of the word "intern" and Kim then asks her that if she's so unsuccessful, why did NeNe have to talk about her on her show?
The two start going back and forth, with NeNe calling Kim immature, and NeNe eventually jumps up and goes after her, but luckily, Kandi and Don Juan get in between the women.
Phaedra Parks, Cynthia Bailey, and Sheree Whitfield are on their way to the mansion and looking forward to a relaxing weekend, but little do they know what they've got in store for them when they meet up with Kim, Kandi, and NeNe!

Nene is the trash. She has proven herself how she treated KIM the prior season. The part were she attached KIM off camera. She can say all her apologies but she's a wanna be "good character" but she's the total trash. Nene Leakes is nothing but trying hard copy cat, she's changed a lot that's why her marriage is not working out. She Yells too much. Sorry Nene. You can't hide from the truth.

I recently bought a pair of used Carnac mountain bike shoes off of eBay. I was excited when the shoes came in the mail and I was ready to throw some SPD cleats on them when I realized that they didn't fit. I tried the shoes with SPD-SL cleats, and they also don't seem to fit!
Here are some pictures of what I have to work with. The second picture has an SPD cleat for reference to size. I have never seen this configuration before and I was wondering if anyone could help me find a pedal/cleat for this shoe?

Zimmy's Mark on History (and Historians): Purists wary of a historian's take on Dylan might reconsider given Sean Wilentz's visceral connection to his subject. In a review of Bob Dylan in America, New York Magazine quotes Wilentz as crediting
Dylan with his own historical epiphany:
"He discovered something in me and I heard it," he says, "which is that you can see the past in the present. To me, the collapsing of it is the beginnings of historical consciousness. I can feel it, taste it, and smell it, and so can he."

8. '10 Things I Hate About You'
I've always wanted to be "that one girl" who danced on the table top at that one party. But of course the wiser part of me (the part of me that realizes I can not dance), prevents me from making an ass out of myself. So instead I live vicariously through Julia Stiles who created a classic movie party scene by dancing to "Hypnotize" By Notorious B.I.G. on top of the table.

Brisbane Broncos have today declared that they hope to be at full strength when they face Celtic Crusaders in the Bulmers Original Cider Challenge at the Brewery Field on Thursday February 15th (kick-off 7.30pm).
The Australian National Rugby League (NRL) champions, who will be captained by the 2006 Golden Boot winner, Darren Lockyer, are using the match as a warm-up to get acclimatised to the British weather before they take part in the World Club Challenge eight days later.
Following his winning try for Australia in the 2006 Tri-Nations Final against New Zealand last November, Lockyer has undergone successful wrist surgery and has declared himself an almost certain starter for the February 23rd match against St Helens at Bolton's Reebok Stadium.
The Celtic Crusaders and Brisbane Broncos link will continue after their Bulmers Original Cider Challenge match on Thursday 15th February as the Crusaders

Microsoft Canada To Jumpstart Windows Phone Developer Movement
In a recent report on the state of mobile app marketplaces in 2011, Microsoft is still dragging behind the App Store for iOS devices, and the Android Market.
Since available applications are a huge factor when it comes to consumer adoption, and with only 40,000 applications available, Windows Phone Marketplace is having a tough go of it. A quick search for Windows Phone 7 devices in Canada only comes up with 5-6 devices available across all carriers combined. For comparison purposes, the iOS App Store has somewhere around 600,000 apps, and the Android Market contains about half that (~320,000 apps).
Enter Microsoft's "Developer Movement". Running until May 20th, Microsoft Canada intend to reward developers who produce "quality" apps, a fairly ambiguous term, with no real explanation of what they will deem "quality". the campaign is a follow-up to the Mango App Challenge, designed to entice developers to take advantage of the newly released Mango update (Win Phone 7.5).
The prizes are as follows:
Publish 1 Quality app, you get to choose:
- A Kinect™ Sensor for Xbox 360®
- 10,000 Microsoft Points
- Monster® Beats™ Headphones
- A 1TB External HD
Publish 2 Quality apps, you get to choose:
- A Windows® Phone 7
- A $500 Gift Voucher
- 35,000 Microsoft Points
- An Xbox 360® with
- Kinect Bundle
Publish 3 Quality apps, and your apps will be considered for publicity across:
- The Xbox Newsletter
- The Xbox Live Dashboard
- MSDN Website
- MSDN Flash Newsletter
- Canadian Developer Blog

While much is known about the safety of chemicals, scientific understanding and technology are continuously evolving. ACC collaborates with government, NGOs and other industry sectors to promote research to investigate new theories about chemical safety and develop advanced technologies and testing methods to improve the way we evaluate the safety of chemicals.
Hazard refers to the inherent properties of a substance that make it capable of causing harm to human health or the environment. Exposure describes both the amount of, and the frequency with which, a chemical substance reaches a person, group of people, or the environment. Risk is the possibility of a harmful event arising from specific uses and circumstances of exposure to a substance.
Scientists and health professionals in government, industry and research institutions examine all three when assessing a chemical's safety, known as a "chemical risk assessment."
The scientific understanding of hazard, exposure and risk, as well as the technology to test chemicals, is progressing rapidly. Advances in molecular biology, robotic testing and computer modeling hold great promise to speed up chemical safety assessments and replace outdated animal testing methods. New data from reliable scientific studies should be considered in chemical safety assessments, but more research is needed to ensure new testing methods and theories are proven before they are used in regulatory decision-making.
ACC sponsors two primary scientific initiatives to enhance understanding of chemical safety and inform public policies and research practices:
The Long-Range Research Initiative (LRI): LRI is an international collaboration established to enhance scientific understanding of the health and environmental safety of the products of chemistry, particularly in areas related to everyday exposures to low levels of substances. LRI focuses on filling the gaps in our understanding about the possible hazards posed by chemicals and to promote innovation in the methods and technologies used for assessing chemical safety. LRI is working to develop more effective and efficient safety assessment tools.
The Center for Advancing Risk Assessment Science and Policy (ARASP): ACC established ARASP to advance knowledge about how chemicals interact with the body and at what levels the body reacts to a substance. ARASP advocates for the use of the best available scientific information for chemical risk assessments and regulatory policies. Specifically, ARASP promotes the integration of analyses including "mode of action" (how chemicals interact with the body), "dose-response" (at what amount (dose) of exposure does the body react (respond) to a substance) and "weight of evidence" (evaluating the reliability and integrity of all available data, both positive and negative results, to determine that which is most reliable and relevant) to produce a complete picture of a chemical.
Initiatives such as LRI and ARASP are helping to improve scientific understanding of chemical safety so the best available science underlies decisions about the regulation of chemicals.
Current LRI research priorities include: interpreting data from new testing technologies and their relationship to health risks; advancing the understanding of children's health and their sensitivity to chemical exposures; and developing new tools to assess exposures.
ARASP is one of the leading organizations in the Alliance for Risk Assessment collaboration which is focused on developing best practices and practical guidance for chemical risk assessments.
As scientific understanding evolves, initiatives such as LRI and ARASP are helping inform policies to promote the safe use of the products of chemistry.

I'm doing my first project in Grails and intend to blog some of thing things I'm learning.
During development, the grails console is very useful for testing specific pieces of code without having to go through your whole system to get to that particular bit of code.
For the most part, you can just enter grails commands and hit execute. But apparently dependency inject doesn't happen in the console. So there's a bit of a trick to execute a service from the console.
If you had a service named MySecretService with a function named secretSquirell, you could access it via dependency injection in a domain class, a controller or another service by first adding
def mySecretService
then later you can say
def result = mySecretService.secretSquirell()
But to test in the console you need to do this:
def service = ctx.getBean("mySecretService")
def result = service.secretSquirell()

I Love Old Movie Theaters
This is random. I love old movie theaters.
It started when I got my first "real" job at the Hollywood Theatre in Portland in 1994*. In the 90s the Hollywood would admit you for $1.50 to watch a double feature. Sandy Boulevard was blistering with pretty aggressive prostitutes and Johns, junk dealers, and a lot of down-and-out types who needed somewhere to duck in for a few hours. I saw a lot of crazy things go down. I sold tickets, then "moved up" to selling candy and popcorn, then I started taking an interest in the building itself and became the "maintenance girl." Not a janitor, though I did do a lot of blowing popcorn around with leaf blowers (sorta fun) and scraping chewed gum off carpets after freezing it with GUM OFF (also sorta fun). Nope. I was given the keys to the building, the alarm code, and allowed to show up any time to fix things up. Because by then the Theatre was already 70 years old, and falling apart in front of our eyes. It needed constant care. Everything was broken. Everything leaked. Everything was pretty gnarly and gross.
But it was a treasure! Only a few of us knew that behind the raggedy, soda-stained wall curtains were beautiful trompe l'oeil murals and that behind the old Cinerama screen was an amazing vaudeville stage and orchestra pit. So only a few of us saw the potential and the beauty and hung in there. It is a treasure.
Because you can still hardly tell even if you visit today, I'll show you some pictures of what hides behind curtains and paint:
The more I explored the place alone, at night, the more in love I grew. There was so much to discover, so much strange old history so foreign to me as a teenaged Alaskan in Portland. Ladders in the back led up to cavernous concrete rooms which used to hold hundreds if not thousands of pipes. The pipes were long gone, but back in the first year the theater opened, they were blown by the Wurlitzer organ to thrill the house during silent films. A year later talkies were the new rage and they became obsolete**. A hatch in a West-facing outside wall used to take deliveries of ice blocks, which cooled the forced air in the hot summertime. Every seat held thousands of memories, and sometimes coins fallen from pockets. Tips for me. And that's not even beginning to think about the magic of the movies themselves…
Think of any other type of building where people go and almost always enjoy themselves thoroughly, despite themselves. A movie theater is one, and I can't think of many others. Movie theaters are magical, especially the ones that were built to embody magic. The Hollywood Theatre is so magical that the entire neighborhood was named after it.
For some reason it came to be that I was the only person in Portland who would crawl up through a narrow, ragged hole in a 16″ concrete wall and into the rafters to change the auditorium lightbulbs. Hanging on Carnegie steel I-beams, bouncing on 20 foot-long 2x10s, crawling along narrow planks, and finally splaying myself, spreading my weight on the plaster lathe ceiling so as not to fall through, I'd change the bulbs, looking 50 feet down to a most certain death. I've been changing lightbulbs at the Hollywood Theatre for nearly 20 years. This year I was told that they are hopefully switching to LED lights soon, so I will not be needed any longer. It's a little sad.
Today I changed the lightbulbs for maybe the last time. FYI, this is what the crawl space looks like, for the most part:
When I got down the ladder I chatted with Connor, the Operations Manager. It's become clear over the past couple years that the Hollywood Theatre now has its act together. They've got good prices, great concessions (real butter for the popcorn, beer on tap, and pizza from next door***), INCREDIBLE programming (indie movies alongside treasure 35mm prints of kung fu and other rarities, as well as comedy and theater events), and are working hard on the building (new roof, new heating, plush new seats with tables, new screen, new sound, soon to be new Kickstarter-funded marquee, and in a little while, full LED lighting). Connor took me on a tour of the backstage area, which I haven't seen for years. I couldn't believe my eyes. If you like movies, film, projection, movie theaters, and maybe even pipe organs, that area might do for you what Disneyland does for a five year-old. First of all, it's clean and dry. Wow. Second of all, it's organized. My eyeballs almost popped out. Finally, it's ALL FILM. Trust me, the Hollywood Theatre is 100% awesome, through and through. It took some time to get the ball rolling in the right direction, but it's rolling. I'm so happy about it.
If you live in Portland and haven't been to the Hollywood, now's the time to check it out. The coast is clear! The seats and bathrooms are no longer Superfund sites, and your feet won't stick to the floors. You also have some backstory which should make it even more enjoyable. It's an old theater and a work in progress; though, so give some leeway and be kind. Remember to buy something at the concession stand, because that is how any movie theater really makes its money, and remember to tell your friends or donate to the Hollywood Theatre non-profit if you can. The Hollywood is our treasure.
* I also ran the Roseway Theatre (72nd & Sandy Boulevard, built in 1919) solo a few nights a week for almost a year, had short stints at several other theaters like the Laurelhurst and Cinemagic, and at one point possessed a key to the Fox Theatre downtown.
**As I understood it, Hollywood's Wurlitzer organ was moved to the Oaks Park skating rink. A false, but very fun, legend. Hollywood's organ went to the Imperial Skating Rink, then was sold to McDonalds, then moved to a private home in California). The Columbia River Theater Organ Society (bet you never heard of them) has been tinkering with a new organ installation in the Hollywood for a long time now. Shhh! They don't know this but for a while I knew where they hid the organ key, and I'd take it for a spin at night when nobody but me could hear. In those moments, my only dream in life was to simply play a bar or two of Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor. Didn't happen. But that thing can make just about every other noise in the book. Monkey falling from tree? Check. Dog getting kicked? Check. That thing is CRAZY.
***Though I still whine every time they tell me they don't have any frozen Junior Mints. Argh! That's the BEST way to eat them!

Going over the limit on your credit card
Dear Experian,
What happens if your credit card goes over your limit? What are the best options in your opinion?
Dear JNT,
Charging more than your credit card limit could result in over-the-limit fees, a decrease in your credit limit, or other penalties imposed by the credit card provider. Habitually over charging could result in the account being closed by the lender.
Some lenders may decrease your credit limits or increase your interest rates if an over-the-limit status appears in your credit history, so it could affect more than just that one credit card.
Charging more than your limit also hurts your credit scores because it is a strong indicator of poor credit management and high lending risk.
The options for resolving the problem are simple and straightforward: stop spending and start paying.
You must reduce the balance to below your credit limit. That means you have to stop making charges and start paying more than the minimum balance. In terms of creditworthiness, the lower you keep your credit card balance, the better.
New legislation will go into effect soon that will give you more warning and more options for dealing with an account if you receive notice that your terms are changing. The White House issued a press release summarizing the legislation.
But, the rules won't make the problem go away. For example, you still may have to make choices about closing the account to avoid higher fees. That can be inconvenient, and there is no guarantee that you will be able to open a new account at a lower rate.
So the best advice is to keep your balances low. That will help you keep the best rates on your card.
Thanks for asking.

A poll of current and past students by the Graduate Recruitment Bureau has found that 40% of students believe that their university is overrated.
Another 30% were more positive and believed that their institution was underrated, which leaves just under a third being satisfied that their university matched expectations.
With many universities set to increase fees considerably from 2012, it's more important than ever that they meet students expectations. The first stage of which is knowing what those expectations are and then seeing how you can meet, or better, exceed them.
A quick look at the University Forums on The Student Room can provide a great insight into students opinion of your university as well as competitors. It's where students are discussing the important aspects of going to university from the courses, to the halls of residence and everything in between like careers services and amount of tutor time.
Students trust the support and advice they get from their peers as many of them are talking from their own experience and 32% of undergraduates on the site have said that The Student Room directly influenced their choice of university.
- There's never been a better time for universities to get involved in the discussion with the site consistently breaking record numbers in terms of visitors.
- With approximately 273,000 users telling us they intend to go to university in September it's the perfect time and place to start recruiting your 2012 undergraduates.

Jyotirmoy Deshmukh, G. Ramalingam, Venkatesh-Prasad Ranganath, and Kapil Vaswani
July 2009
In this paper, we consider the problem of making a sequential library safe for concurrent clients. Informally, given a sequential library that works satisfactorily when invoked by a sequential client, we wish to synthesize concurrency control code for the library that ensures that it will work satisfactorily even when invoked by a concurrent client (which may lead to overlapping executions of the library's procedures). Formally, we consdier a sequential library annotated with assertions along with a proof that these assertions hold in a sequential execution. We show how such a proof can be used to derive a concurrency control for the library that guarantees that the library's execution will satisfy the same assertions even when invoked by a concurrent client. Secondly, we generalize this result by considering 2-state assertions that correspond to relations over a pair of program states. Such assertions can be used (as postconditions) to specify the desired functionality of procedures. Thus, the synthesized concurrency control ensures that procedures have the desired functionality even in a concurrent setting. Finally, we extend the approach to guarantee linearizability: any concurrent execution of a procedure is not only guaranteed to satisfy its specification, it also appears to take effect instantaneously at some point during its execution. A notable feature of our solution is that it is based on a logical notion of interference between threads: the derived concurrency control prevents threads from violating properties (by executing statements) that are to be preserved at a given program point, rather than preventing threads from accessing/modifying specific data.

That plan sucks.
We should kill him instead.
I think we should all ride around the inner harbor with about 100 blinkys each. See if we can flash him to death.
soo much violence, we should just take his stupid little car, i bet he got that car because he harassed those skateboarders.

he had that car when he harassed those skateboarders.
i like how it says "while under investigation for the first video here he is picking on a kid and his RC box prank." even though he is suspended and the guy even says in the interview that the RC car thing was filmed last summer.
Someone needs to make a parody video of that cop. It would get all over the web based on the searches that would hit it.
Seriously, I'm a big fan of get-rich-quick schemes and such.
If I was anywhere near Baltimore, I'd head over with a hidden camera a skateboard and a box and try and find this guy. Misappropriation of power ensues, out of court settlement follows. Yay!
Well, he's on suspension.
But that guy probably pops a couple Viagras on his day off, drives his little truck around wearing his uniform just looking for skinny little skaters to touch.
Take your little brother with you as bait.

Have Legal Questions? Ask a Lawyer Now.
I suggest the best way to find a pro bono attorney will be to use the Oregon Bar Association Legal Referral Service.
Here is a link to that information
They have a Modest Means program that may be able to assist you
So you are not from Oregon and cant assist?
Keep in mind, however, that if you have any assets at all you may not qualify.
Legal Pros on this website are precluded from representing customers of this site as per the Terms of Service
I work, and would pay what I can, but my assets are few, and I only make about $300 a week
I suggest the Modest Means program may be able to help you
Click onto the blue link and read about it.
My conviction was in California
Is that available in Oregon. When I was convicted I had a public defender and it was a big mistake.
But you have to register in Oregon Correct?
I did until last year, I was under the assumption that I only had to register for 15 years, so I didnt register after last year. When I was booked and released I registered before I left the jail. I am registered now
I see
They didnt suggest I register, I asked them to register me before I exited the jail.
Ok. So is it CA or Oregon where you have to appear now on Feb 22
Yamhill County, McMinnville, Oregon
So far all the lawyers I have contacted want $500 or more retainer to handle this
Then you need an OR attorney
And I suggest that you will want to use the Modest Means program
There is an application process on that link and I suggest you will want to do that sooner than later
Since your hearing is this month
So, your best adice is to find an Oregon attorney?
Do I go to the Oregon Bar website to find this Modest Means application?
Advice? You asked it there are any pro bono attorneys and that you have looked online to no avail.
I have proviided you information on how to find a possible pro bono attorney to assist you
Seems all the pro bono attornys are for civil cases
Yes, please click onto that blue link and then the Modest Means Program
Thank you for your time.
You never know. There may be one or two who are very interested in sex offender registration matters
Some have taken up that charge/cause because they believe even though it is a civil and not criminal penalty it is a Constitution violation
thank you, XXXXX XXXXX am still at square one here, I appreciate your time just the same and will return to my web search
Good luck with everything
You do what you feel is the right thing for you. But I dont deserve a Poor Rating.
that is not even fair. I gave you the best information available
I wish you the best of karma with this and the future
