Notes From A Walkman Junkie: Breaking Up (In A Moving Vehicle) Is Hard To Do (And Ill Advised)
A car, particularly one traveling at high speeds on the highway, is a terrible place to attempt to terminate a long term relationship. Many years ago I was attending a Halloween party with my boyfriend, Garp. Now, as I have learned, there are good parties (like my fifth birthday party — there were ponies and a Cookie Monster cake, my dog humped the boy that I had a crush on, and there were no clowns) and there are bad parties (like the party I attended hosted by a man that I later discovered had been tried, but not convicted of bludgeoning his wife and kids to death in their own beds.) This particular Halloween party hovered closer to the bad side of the party scale — mostly because I had been strongly considering breaking up with Garp (He liked football and "Killing Me Softly With His Song." We were not right for each other), and really did not want to go to this party in the first place.
Somewhere mid-party I had decided that this would in fact be the night that I broke things off with my companion and planned to do so once we returned home from the festivities. However, as the evening progressed, the urgency to end this thing seemed to inflate to an unbearable (Garp was repeatedly addressing me as "my baby" and there was singing) level. When it was finally time to go we climbed into my car and Garp started to giddily (and drunkenly) babble about the evening as I drove us home. Suddenly, in the midst of his gleeful chatter, I snapped and just blurted out my desire to end our relationship as we sped down the highway — with a good twenty uncomfortable minutes left to the drive. Adding to the awkwardness, since we had just left a Halloween party we were still in costume dressed as Darth Vader and a Chicken. The ungainly "cut and run" car conversation went as follows: Chicken: "This is not working. I think we should break up." Darth Vader: "Whaaaar? ahhhh blarrrr eeirious?" (the Vader mask was a bit muffling). Chicken: "I am very serious (I speak Vader Mask fluently.) I am sorry."
At this point, things got ugly and Darth Vader clutched the door handle and promptly announced that he was going to hurl himself out of the moving car. Though Chicken did not fully believe Darth Vader's threat to flee the vehicle in a nontraditional manner, she decided that it was in both of their best interests to calm Vader down by postponing the inevitable parting between them. The plan to split was later brought up at a more appropriate (sober, not in a speeding vehicle nor in costume) time and produced a slightly better reaction than the initial mention (most likely because a large screen T.V. was thrown in as a consolation prize.)
So yes, cars are never an ideal place to lay down some heavy news or incidentally, to make emotional decisions and/or assumptions of any kind. My brother once told me of an incident in which his feelings were manipulated by a fancy luxury feature in a car. He was riding with a girl in her car and she had, unbeknownst to him, turned on the seat warmer on his side. He said he mysteriously felt his butt getting warmer and thought, "wow, I must really like this girl."
I am attaching the classic (and somewhat scary) break-up song, "I Can't Live" performed by Lena Zavaroni for you to enjoy.

A cupola may not be something you ever thought about adding to your home, but you may want to because 1) they look pretty dang sweet and 2) they have a fascinating history.
But, maybe you aren't familiar with the design, so let's start there.
What's a cupola?
A cupola is the small, though usually quite detailed, structure at the pinnacle of a home's roof. It might be square or circular, and it will usually have a finial on top – a pointy lightning-rod thing made of metal.
Nowadays, cupolas are mostly for ornamentation, but when they were first introduced in European architecture they were used to ventilate buildings, much as their predecessors, called oculi, did in ancient times.
So then, what's an oculus?
Centuries before a certain VR headset company made "Oculus" a household name, the Romans were using them in some of their most magnificent domed buildings, like the Pantheon. Unlike cupolas, which evolved more to air out homes than anything else, oculi were also used to allow natural light into these domes – like circular skylights.
As time wore on, though, many things occurred to obviate the need for oculi: fewer domed structures were built, glass was invented (leading to modern-day windows), ventilation improved and so on.
Who has a cupola today?
Whoever wants one! You see them more frequently as part of the original design atop older homes, churches and outbuildings during the Victorian and Colonial periods, from roughly 1850 through 1950, but there are no set rules.
Of course, it should be in keeping with your home's style; a person probably wouldn't put a cupola on a mid-century ranch house. That said, cupolas come prebuilt and aren't terribly expensive, so ... who knows?
You may want to consult a professional for installation, but even if you do you're still looking at a sweet upgrade that won't break the bank.

This cartoon was created by Steve Greenberg several weeks ago when the Los Angeles City Council was still debating whether to finish the elephant enclosure at the L.A. Zoo. He didn't get a chance to run it anywhere, so now that Steve is contributing to LA Observed he hopes you'll enjoy it. He also drew a cartoon in honor of the late Angels pitcher Nick Adenhart that likewise did not get published, and is presented here now. Click on either of the "oldies" to see them full-sized.

The Photonics Spotlight
Lasers with Nonlinear Input–Output Characteristics
Posted on 2006-08-23 as a part of the Photonics Spotlight (available as e-mail newsletter!)
Permanent link: https://www.rp-photonics.com/spotlight_2006_08_23.html
Ref.: encyclopedia articles on slope efficiency, thermal lensing, four-level and three-level gain media
The slope efficiency of a laser is an often used quantity, but there are actually plenty of cases where such a specification makes no sense – simply because there is no linear relation between pump power and output power!
The possible reasons for such behavior are manifold:
- In high power lasers (particularly in rod lasers), thermal lensing is often so strong that the laser resonator is pulled through the whole stability zone when the pump power is varied. As a result, the mode size in the gain medium (and everywhere else) can undergo large changes, which have a substantial impact on the power efficiency. The laser may even have a substantially increased threshold pump power, if the resonator becomes stable only through the influence of the strong thermal lens. Quite obviously, the effective slope efficiency does then no more simply reflect basic properties such as pump absorption efficiency, quantum defect, etc.
- Thermal effects can decrease the efficiency at high powers, thus making the input–output curve more flat or even bending it downward at high pump powers. The possible physical effects behind that are manifold: e.g. a modified thermal distribution in the Stark level manifolds of solid-state gain media or in the bands of a semiconductor laser medium, thermally induced quenching, or a thermally induced reduction of confinement factor in a VCSEL.
- Even without thermal effects, quasi-three-level bulk lasers can exhibit a nonlinear input–output relation – often with the curve becoming steeper at higher power levels. This behavior can be reproduced only with laser models taking into account the transverse variation of intensities and excitation density. It is related to the transverse redistribution of excitation density via gain saturation. (For more details, have a look at the Spotlight article of 2016-12-13.)
- Particularly in fiber lasers, nonlinear effects can reduce the output powers for strong pumping. For example, stimulated Raman scattering may transfer substantial amounts of power into some longer-wavelength Stokes wave.
- Power-dependent saturation of a saturable absorber in a passively mode-locked laser introduces some nonlinearity in the input–output curve, but this effect is normally not very strong.
It may not always be easy to find out what the actual cause of the observed effect is. However, as long as this hasn't been accomplished, one cannot be sure e.g. what is the reason of a non-satisfactory power efficiency.

My name is Ronnie Nguyen and I want to share with you my Review of Mad Max Profits and how I got started with Mad Max Profits MadMaxProfits.com software.
You see for the past 2 years I was desperately searching for a any legal way to earn money online from home. Following a dream of not having to be stuck in the 9 to 5 job by working my own hours and doing what I wanted in my life and to achieve financial freedom.
Do you know the saying "seek and you shall find?" Despite being told otherwise for most of my adult life I never lost hope and finally found what I was searching for and it's called Mad Max Profits my new way to financial freedom.
With that said I'm not going try to force it on you and say that this is what you have been seeking for, as I don't know you. But if you're on The Binary Insider site it means you're looking for a way to earn money online and I'll gladly help you decide if this is for you in my Mad Max Profits Review.
Mad Max Profits Review
The Mad Max Profits Binary Options System generates at least $1,857.93+ a day without putting in any hard work or investing more than 1 hour per day.Well, to be more exact you can spend 2 hours a day and double these pure profits, this is up to you. Mad Max Profits is a money-making program currently being offered for free online.
How does the Mad Max Profits software work?
To use Mad Max Profits , you begin by opening an account at a binary options broker and depositing $250 into your account. You then connect Mad Max Profits software to your account by following the instructions inside Mad Max Profits members area. Mad Max Profits then makes trades for you.
Having used the Mad Max Profits software System for a few days, I'm really excited with the results. Sitting at your laptop and waiting for Mad Max Profits to make trades is incredibly boring (it will only make a trade when the conditions are right, so most of the time it does nothing, but you have to leave your laptop running so that it can make a trade whenever it needs to, so I just leave Mad Max Profits alone and see what it's done at the end of the trading day it's Sure Cash App Binary Machine
I deposited the minimum of $250 into Mad Max Profits recommended broker account to start off with. Today is my 5 day using it, and when I checked my account last night it was almost at $11,998, so I'm hoping I go over that magic $17K mark by the end of Week!
After a couple more days of building up my Mad Max Profits account I will change the settings in the software to make slightly larger binary trades. This means my risk will basically be the same, but my daily binary options profit will be more. All I know about binary options trading is that it involves selecting 1 of 2 options Put Or Call, and that a trade is obviously profitable when the outcome selected proves to be true. I don't know anything about the factors the Mad Max Profits software has to consider to make trades because no information is provided about this inside Mad Max Profits. I would have liked to have known about that kind of binary options strategies before investing my $200 to get the Mad Max Profits started, but since they weren't willing to divulge that info I figured $200 was a small enough amount to risk to find out if Mad Max Profits really works, which is why I went ahead. I'm obviously glad I did!

So, What does the Mad Max Profits Software do?
Basically, the Mad Max Profits software will notify you when to trade and what to trade. These binary options signals come from the same source the big folks at Wall Street Market use, so they are extremely very profitable. Now, I m not gonna lie, at first I was really skeptical about the whole Mad Max Profits signal software, so I put it to the live action. I'm a father first, over marketing so I only had around 1 hour and 20 minutes to activate before I had to commit to my kids, but in that short space of an hour, I received 33 binary signals to trade.
From my 33 binary trade, I had a 98% success rate, which is Awesome!
Admittedly I was only using small day trades to get started but later on I once I've gotten more confident I will increase my binary options investment portfolio per trade so my return ROI is higher.
The Mad Max Profits software also has an automate trading mode which will trade for you, perfect for binary option trader like me who can't sit at the computer all the time, as long as you leave your Mad Max Profits software on, it will continue to trade for you.
What I didn't like in Mad Max Profits System?
As I stated above, I had a 98% success rate over 33 trades whilst this is good, the sales page states that the Mad Max Profits is 98% accurate. Regardless, I'm extremely happy with the results even though I only did a few short binary trades.
Mad Max Profits The Bottom Line:
I was VERY skeptical to begin with Mad Max Profits software, but after just an hour trading, I'm 98% successful and more importantly – I'm in huge profit!
Granted I'm not a binary millionaire, but as I stated now that I am confident in the Mad Max Profits I will increase my trading investment to reap larger rewards. Even for a beginner such as me with limited computer skills and time, I was easily able to setup the Mad Max Profits software (plug and play) get started and start trading.
Mad Max Profits Profiting made the whole experience easier and the money I made in that 1 hour is MORE than I've ever made trying to follow the traditional "affiliate" internet marketing courses out there!
So, What are you still waiting for? Go ahead and download Mad Max Profits now..

And fyi this nuvi type is designed bundled with Mits*bishi vehicle selling and the startup logo is showing the Mits*bishi logo (and additional option in Where To? menu for POI of Mitsh*bishi's dealers and branches location in my region area) and i can't replace the logo to Garmin original logo. Is there any way to flashing back my nuvi to original Garmin setup ? As you said perhaps with this i can update the firmware with the latest one and activated the Travel Language Guide as well.

Woodstock celebrates turning 40 with comprehensive box sets
There will be no Woodstock '09 anywhere in upstate New York this August ... and after the fiery debacle that was Woodstock '99, I'm kinda OK with that.
At this point a Woodstock filled with today's talent, as was the case in '94 and '99, would be redundant. The biggest and the brightest, the edgiest and the smoothest ... they all turn up regularly at massively attended multi-day festivals across the country.
Back in '99 ... back when organizers staged a far from disappointing array of performances (Rage Against the Machine bringing anger but order Saturday night, Dave Matthews Band at sunset the day before) that nonetheless were marred by rampant bro-bruiser mentality, rape and barely justifiable rioting ... well, even back then, when weekend festivals weren't as commonplace, there still wasn't any meaning behind that one at all.
It held no sociopolitical significance, whereas it could almost be argued that the 25th anniversary gathering, at the height of Alternative Nation, did signify something for a generation (mine). That one represented a pivotal point in rock history, as bands like Nine Inch Nails, Green Day, Primus, Metallica, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Cypress Hill often outshone (at least to many younger attendees) older mainstays like Joe Cocker, Santana and Crosby, Stills & Nash.
But at least Woodstock '94 made an effort to bridge the gap between the original and the offspring, by also including several key acts of the era -- Bob Dylan, the Allman Brothers Band, Traffic -- all missing in action August 15-18, 1969. Woodstock '99, though it featured some old-timers -- Willie Nelson, James Brown, George Clinton -- deliberately avoided having original performers on hand; the late John Entwistle, in a solo set, and Mickey Hart, with his Planet Drum project, were the only two artists who appeared at both.
Attempting to gather together as many O.W.'s (Original Woodstockers) at this point -- as organizers did for several months before giving up -- seemed fruitless from the get-go.
Sure, some of them can still bring fire the Who and the remains of the Dead first and foremost ... although don't count out CSN&Y (if they could even be persuaded to participate) ... or Santana (bet the environment would bring something special out of him) ... or John Fogerty (if he could fill in for the whole of CCR, and of course he can). Even so, just how many people d'ya think would turn out -- pay a pretty penny and camp -- to see all of those acts again, plus such obviously huge draws as Joan Baez, John Sebastian and whatever version of Jefferson Airplane/Starship that might be assembled.
Like I said, I'm glad it's not happening. That Heroes of Woodstock show at the Greek on Aug. 23, featuring Starship and Canned Heat, Ten Years After, Country Joe McDonald and more, sounds pretty musty as it is. (And yet, I gotta admit: I'm kinda curious.)
If you ask me, the best way to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the grandaddy of all festivals (Monterey Pop the grandmama) is to simply go back to the source.
And here's where the powers-that-be behind all things Woodstock have done right.
First, Michael Wadleigh's innovative, Oscar-winning film Woodstock arrived today in a deluxe three-disc box set, including the four-hour director's cut remastered for both DVD and Blu-Ray as well as three hours of extras, including newly discovered performances from the Who, the Grateful Dead, Santana, Jefferson Airplane and more.
To top that, Rhino Records has gone all out to compose the most comprehensive musical account of the event ever assembled.
The six-CD, 77-track Woodstock -- 40 Years On: Back to Yasgur's Farm boasts 38 previously unreleased selections from artists who neither appeared in the film nor on its two soundtracks (Sweetwater, Ravi Shankar, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Johnny Winter, Blood Sweat & Tears). Beyond that, there are loads more from the most iconic performers of the festival: CSN&Y, Cocker, the Who, tons from Country Joe & the Fish.
No, it doesn't have everything from everyone. Several stars (Janis Joplin, Sly & the Family Stone) are still sorely under-represented ... Ten Years After's boogie-rock epic "I'm Going Home," shown below, is strangely absent (you'll have to buy the remastered original soundtrack, also out today, to get that one) ... and Jimi Hendrix's galvanizing Monday-morning finale in its entirety remains available separately (though his crucial, fest-summing rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner" is still included).
It's true, too, that apart from several standout songs (Cocker's rendition of "With a Little Help from My Friends," seen at the top of this post, and Santana's "Soul Sacrifice") these aren't exactly the greatest performances most of these artists ever gave. Many are dated, or so drugged-up they're almost unlistenable.
But such minuses have always been beside the point. This is about preserving history, the good and the bad -- and what Rhino has achieved looks to be pretty monumental.
For the first time, recordings and stage announcements and assorted other sounds from Woodstock will be heard as they happened -- that is, in the order they occurred, not shuffled about, as both the soundtrack, its sequel (Woodstock Two, also back in print as of today) and Wadleigh's film present them.
CS&N's endearingly ragged "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes," for instance, which kicked off only the group's second-ever live performance? Yeah, that didn't happen Friday or Saturday night, as Wadleigh's film always made it seem by placing it roughly at the halfway mark. That set actually came very late Sunday night, or technically very early Monday morning, just before the final acts: the Butterfield Blues Band and, at dawn, Sha Na Na and Hendrix.
Cocker's famous howl through the Beatles' classic, and the rainstorm that drenched Max Yasgur's farm just after it -- that also happened Sunday midday, after the Who had seen the sunrise and Jefferson Airplane made some "morning maniac music" to rouse the dead.
Co-producer Andy Zax apparently scoured every inch of available multitrack tape to cull the strongest parts of the event's 33 performances. "The way we approached all of the material was as if it was a cinéma verité documentary -- the raw record of the event," he says in Rhino's press release about the new box set (suggested retail: $80).
In doing so, Zax and his team have ensured that crucial ancillary bits were retained -- including plenty of "lysergic babble" and Abbie Hoffman's notorious encounter with Pete Townshend -- while also compiling complete and accurate set lists for the first time, available in the package's booklet.
"Woodstock aficionados will be taken aback," Rhino promises, and I have little doubt the label will deliver. I'm a Woodstock junkie, and cannot wait to pore over this set from start to finish. Nothing can replace actual visuals, and Wadleigh's seemingly impossible film is rightly celebrated for its innovation and insight into not just the festival itself but what was in the air everywhere back in '69. But I suspect disappearing between headphones with Rhino' s box for several hours in the dark will transport me there in ways Wadleigh's film never has.
The only nit I'd pick is the release date -- why exactly is it arriving on Aug. 18, the Tuesday after the festival's actual anniversary? Yeah, that's actually the day it concluded ... but given the lucky happenstance that the 40th anniversary actually falls on a weekend, wouldn't you want Woodstock addicts to be able to savor the past on the same dates?
I had a Woodstock party a few years ago, at which I screened the flick at full volume ... until most people peeled off and dragged themselves home. I suspect I'll attempt something similar this year, and simply run the film and all the extras as the day goes on and people come and go. But it sure would've been nice to play some of that newly uncovered stuff at my bash.
Maybe I'll get lucky and an advance copy will show up in time.

Michigan Zoo Dosen't Take Any Crap, But They're Selling Some
Subscribe to Banana 101.5 on
Now, that is a load of crap… literally. A Michigan zoo is now selling the poop of exotic animals in an attempt to raise money for the facility.
The Associated Press reports that the Binder Park Zoo in Battle Creek recently launched a program entitled "Zoo Doo," in which individuals, hopefully gardeners, can purchase steaming piles of dung from over 20 different wild animals, including antelope, giraffe and zebra.
Zoo officials say all of the compost comes from herbivores in order to prevent the spread of disease. "We don't include carnivore or monkey poop," says Jenny Barnett, Director of Wildlife, Conservation & Education.
A truckload of exotic animal feces will cost $25 for zoo members and $30 for everyone else. Interested parties should ask for zookeeper, Hot Carl at the front gate. <– No, don't actually do that.

Slipping into neutral??
okay, this has happened a couple of times already and it happened again today... I was pulling the car into the garage, very slowly. I had driven it for about 30 minutes, got home, turned it off, ran into the house, came back out and turned it on again to pull it into the garage to charge. While doing so, the car slipped out of D into N. What gives??? Had to do the reboot to get it into D again. Has this happened to anyone else? Plus, we had more torrential showers today and I had more dread about driving through deep puddles. That actually didn't cause any problems, even though there was plenty of water everywhere. Had more dread with the charging cable and all the dampness in the garage, but all was fine. Wow, this has not been the month in New York to develop a fear of water.
4 comments:
Yes, the car needs time to boot, so it is a good idea to wait until all the lights on the dash and little bings stop after putting the key in...then foot on the brake and press the start/stop button. Seems to keep the brains of the car more stable. Not a start and go car - but still way cool. Good luck with it!

... also a good option. After a little walk there is a lake-shore of around 1 kilometer semi-circled around Sirmione. It has a beach-like view over 300 meters long walk-way. After it, there is a wooden bridge which goes a little over the lake. Few yards after, there is a tall rock situated right adjacent to the lake, and the view is beautiful.

Several years ago, when I was a new mom, I crossed paths briefly with this man whose little boy was clearly suffering from some sort of brain injury. The man asked, "Are you Julianne Moore?" and I stopped. His name was Tommy Lindsey, and he said he wanted to tell me his story.
By the time we were done talking, I was captivated by the story of this family's struggle with a disease called tuberous sclerosis complex, or TSC. I was completely hooked—to the family and to the cause of TSC, which is a devastating genetic disease that causes tumors to form in many different organs. It's the leading genetic cause of both autism and epilepsy.
I first got involved by attending a fundraiser. Over time, I supported the organization by providing congressional testimony, filming and voicing PSAs and going to other fundraising events such as Comedy for a Cure.
Sometimes people ask me, "Why support the Tuberous Sclerosis Alliance?" First, TSC can happen to anyone. Second, TSC is a "lynchpin disease," which means TSC research creates breakthroughs in how we treat cancer, epilepsy and even autism. But more important, I'm committed because of the families who work so tirelessly on behalf of their children. I have never met a more committed group of people who, by their own sheer will and tenacity, have forced the medical community to investigate this disease. The TS Alliance benefit Comedy for a Cure New York City takes place on May 5, at the Metropolitan Pavilion, 125 W. 18th St.; for tickets, visit comedyforacure.org

Randy, love the paint job, who did it for you. have you had a chance to run at wot. what have you seen on the gps, and what props are you running. I think there is only your and mine with the 1150's in them. they are rockets. Jim Midwest performance marine loto nortech dealer

Very Nice Randy!
Gorgeous boat, what's the top speed?
The 36 with 1150's runs 162-165 depending on props and conditions without any modifications. there are only 2 36's with 1150's so far. they are very strong motors, and 60-120mph acceleration is unbelievable. motors are very reliable with 250-300 hours before rework, they run low boost. if motors were turned up I think 175 is very atainable if you can find water to run it that fast.

Cartoon Network: Punch Time Explosion
this wiki
Cartoon Network Punch Time Explosion is a game that was released on June 2, 2011 for the 3DS version. It was released for other console versions in November 2011 as xl.
The story begins with the Announcer, who is taking his day off and decides to watch some of the Cartoon Network shows. However, he finds that all these shows are facing utter destruction.The story then cuts to Ben Tennyson, who, seeing a newspaper article about the return of his arch-enemy Vilgax heads off to find him. Ben is then transported into Chowder's world, and, after defeating a corrupted Chowder, teams up with him to find Mung Daal. They find him with Vilgax, who escapes while the heroes are defending Mung.
Chowder's dimension is then destroyed and they're then brought to Ben's universe, and are transported to the Null Void after freeing a corrupted Buttercup. The three find Vilgax, but are brought to Primus to fight Ultimate Kevin Levin while Vilgax escapes yet again. After the battle, Ben's world is also destroyed, but the three heroes are saved by Dexter, who's built a machine that allows them to travel to the different dimensions. They then go to Flapjack's universe to save him, but the harbor is attacked by Stickybeard and his crew.
While the others retreat, telling Flapjack they'll return, Flapjack fends off the candy pirates, then fighting Vilgax and a corrupted Numbuh 1. After Vilgax escapes, Numbuh One joins with Flapjack and K'nuckles to defeat Stickybeard. After Stickybeard's defeat, the heroes are picked up by the others and brought to Numbuh One's dimension.
Numbuh 1, Flapjack, and K'nuckles then defend the Sector V Treehouse from the candy pirates. Meanwhile, back in Dexter's dimension, Father sneaks in and sabotages the lab, sending Ben, Chowder, and Buttercup to the City of Townsville, where Mojo Jojo is on a rampage in a giant robot. There, they find Blossom and Bubbles. The group fights their way through the bustling metropolis, but then fight amongst themselves as to who would go to face Mojo. The winner of the fight then destroys the robot's power core. Mojo then escapes, and the heroes leave as the dimension is destroyed.
The group finds themselves at Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, where they rescue a corrupted Mac and Bloo and defend Cheese from villainous forces. After that, Mac and Bloo join up with the heroes and head out just as the dimension is destroyed. After picking up Numbuh 1, Flapjack, and K'nuckles at KND treehouse, the now-one team returns to Dexter's lab, which is now heavily damaged. After the group fights their way through, they find Father, who then fights the player and Numbuh 1. After Father escapes, the heroes are attacked by Aku.
After Aku is defeated, the heroes travel to Endsville and encounter the Grim Reaper. After fighting their way through, rescuing a corrupted Billy and Mandy, and battling an army of zombies, the group goes to the Underworld. There, they find and defeat Mojo Jojo and Father. They then escape the dimension as it, to, is destroyed. They then take the capsule to Samurai Jack's dimension. After defeating the corrupted warrior, Jack joins up with the heroes, but are attacked by Vilgax. After Vilgax's defeat, the now rather large group travels through Jack's world and defeats an army of Basket Robots.
As the dimension capsule prepares to make one more warp to save the universes, it suddenly explodes, leaving the heroes floating in an unrecognized dimension. The Announcer then watches, shocked, as his own remote control floats down and transforms into a giant robot, revealing it had been responsible for the destruction of the individual worlds. It then entraps the heroes in an energy ring and is about to send them through a portal to oblivion.
The Announcer then says "Well, that is a cruddy ending! I knew I shouldn't have bought a discount remote. It just doesn't make sense: our heroes had the fire, they had the heart, they had fought on earth, and they had fought on water, and with their powers combined...well, something should have happened, but it didn't." Chowder then farts, prompting the Announcer to say "Hey, who just broke wind?" The combined elements he had mentioned then combine and summon Captain Planet, who frees the heroes and the final battle between the heroes and the Remote ensues.
Once the remote is defeated, Dexter uses the parts to restore the universes and, after one last goodbye, everyone is returned to their home dimension. Everything then goes back to normal, except, as the Announcer points out, that he now doesn't have a remote and must get up and change the channel himself. As everyone returns to their homes, he wonders if he could get a lava-man to change it for him with a giant lever, the idea of which he likes the sound of.

Longing for long, lean muscles like Maggie Gyllenhaal and Jessica Alba? Strength train!
Strength training does not have to be about "bulking up.†Aside from building lean muscle, there are countless benefits to lifting weights, including:
* Speeding up your metabolism
* Strengthening your bones (something very important for us women!)
* Helping you avoid injuries
* Enhancing the immune system
* Improving coordination and balance
* And of course, boosting your confidence and helping you to feel comfortable in your own skin!
A University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine study found that women who lift weights twice a week can prevent or slow down weight gain and reduce the increase of abdominal fat in middle aged women. Say bye bye to belly fat!
Never lifted weights before? Neither did I until two years ago. I stayed in shape by swimming competitively throughout high school. Due to the rigor of the program, academics, and the other activities I was involved in, I had never been to the gym or a weight room. When I went to college, I decided not to swim on the team. I swam on my own once a week, but wanted to supplement it with some other exercises. I decided to try the elliptical (which is still my favorite form of cardio, aside from swimming).
When I came home for October break, I went to the gym with my brother, Louie. He told me I needed to start lifting weights or I would lose all of the muscle and tone I had achieved from 12 years of swimming. To be honest, I was nervous about going to the "guy's†side of the gym to use machines I did not know how to operate. Louie took me under his wing and showed me how to operate and adjust the machines (I'm only 5' 4'' and most of the machines are set for people much taller than I am!). It is much simpler than I imagined and now I try to incorporate some simple weights every time I go to the gym.
Moral of the story: don't be afraid to try something new and ask for help! Many gyms have trainers on duty who can answer questions and give you a brief tutorial. There are also workout videos and even videos online that can show you proper form (so you get the most out of your workout and prevent injuries).
Here Are Some Tips For Beginners:
* You should be lifting enough weight so that you can only complete the number of desired reps (with good form and without strain).
* To avoid plateaus, you should be increasing your intensity regularly. This can be achieved by increasing the number of reps, increasing the amount of weight lifted, or changing the type of resistance.
* Always warm-up and stretch. This helps to prevent strains and injuries.
* Breathe! This is something I always forget to do!
* Stand up straight while using free weights. This will improve your balance, engage your abs, and protect your spine.
* Lift and lower weights slowly. You want to be using your muscles rather than momentum to lift.
* Don't overwork yourself! Rest is just as important as working out because it allows your muscles to recovery. Do not work the same muscles groups two days in a row.
*Cara's Craving of the Week: Resistance Bands
Resistance bands increase coordination and balance because you must stabilize your body while using the bands. Moreover, they are cheap (between $6 and $20), add variety (you can change positioning and work multiple muscle groups), and great for all levels of strength trainers! Resistance bands are portable, so they can even travel with you! (And don't forget the amazing $8 Body Sport resistance bands in our Makeover Momma Shop. They have sturdy handles so you can lift, twist and pull without straining your wrists).
*Stay Tuned: Next week we will discuss exercise and staying active during pregnancy!

Spouse(s) | Rosemary Kirkcaldy (m. 1951; her death 2002) |

Sidney Edmond Jocelyn Ackland, CBE (born 29 February 1928), known as Joss Ackland, is an English actor who has appeared in more than 130 film and television roles.[1] He was nominated for the BAFTA Award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role for portraying Jock Delves Broughton in White Mischief (1987).
Early life[edit]
Ackland was born in North Kensington, London, the son of Ruth (Izod) and Sydney Norman Ackland.[2] He was trained by Elsie Fogerty at the Central School of Speech and Drama, then based at the Royal Albert Hall, London.[3] Ackland and his wife, the former Rosemary Kirkcaldy, were married on 18 August 1951 when Ackland was 23 and she 22. She was an actress and Ackland wooed her when they appeared on stage together in the town of Pitlochry in Scotland. The couple struggled initially as Ackland's acting career was in its infancy. They moved to Kenya, where Ackland managed a tea plantation for six months, but, deciding it was too dangerous, they moved to Cape Town, South Africa. Though they both obtained steady acting jobs in South Africa, after two years, they returned to England in 1957.
Ackland joined the Old Vic, appearing alongside other notable actors including Maggie Smith, Judi Dench and Tom Courtenay. Ackland worked steadily in television and film in the 1960s and 70s. He worked opposite Alec Guinness in the 1979 television serial Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, playing sporting journalist and intermittent British espionage operative Jerry Westerby, and his career advanced through the 1980s with important parts in such films as The Sicilian, Lethal Weapon 2, The Hunt for Red October and White Mischief. Ackland also appeared in Passion of Mind with Demi Moore and the two-part TV serial Hogfather based on Terry Pratchett's Discworld. He played C. S. Lewis in the television version of Shadowlands before it was adapted into a stage play starring Nigel Hawthorne and then a theatrical film with Anthony Hopkins in the same role.
His stage roles included creating the role of Juan Perón in Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical Evita opposite Elaine Paige. He also starred in the London production of Stephen Sondheim's and Hugh Wheeler's A Little Night Music with Jean Simmons and Hermione Gingold, performing on the RCA Victor original London cast album.
Ackland appears in the Pet Shop Boys' 1987 film It Couldn't Happen Here, and in the video for their version of the song Always on My Mind, which was taken from the film. Several years later, he claimed in an interview with the Radio Times that he appeared with the band purely because his grandchildren liked their music.
Ackland, in a 2001 interview with the BBC, admitting to being forced to make "awful films" due to being a workaholic, said that he "regretted" appearing in Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey and the Pet Shop Boys music video, while lambasting former co-star Demi Moore as "not very bright or talented".[4]
In 2007 Ackland narrated and provided the voice for the Robert Garofalo biography film/documentary on the notorious occultist Aleister Crowley, titled In Search of the Great Beast 666 that was released on DVD.
Also in 2007, Ackland appeared in the film How About You opposite Vanessa Redgrave, portraying a recovering alcoholic living in a residential home after being forced to retire and losing his wife to cancer.
In 2008 he returned to the small screen as Sir Freddy Butler, a much married baronet, in the popular ITV1 whodunnit show Midsomer Murders. The episode, entitled Vixens Run also featured veteran actress Siân Phillips.
In September 2013 Sir Jonathan Miller directed a Gala Performance of William Shakespeare's King Lear at the Old Vic in London. Ackland played Lear.[5]
Personal life[edit]
Ackland and his wife were married for 51 years. They had seven children and, as of May 2006, 32 grandchildren. Despite his filming taking him to far-flung locations, Ackland said they never spent a night apart. In 1963, their house in Barnes caught fire. Rosemary Ackland managed to save their five children but broke her back when jumping from the bedroom window to safety. She was told she would lose the baby she was carrying and would never walk again, but later gave birth and, after two years in Stoke Mandeville Hospital, walked again.
Their eldest son, Paul, died of a heroin overdose in 1982, aged 29. In 2000 Rosemary Ackland was diagnosed with motor neurone disease; she died on 25 July 2002.[6]
In the years since his wife's death, Ackland has read and edited her diaries and published them in 2009 under the title My Better Half and Me: A love affair that lasted fifty years.[7]

Expat guide to healthcare
For those who are EU citizens moving within Europe then you will be entitled to the same access to healthcare facilities as the locals. Being aware of what you are entitled to locally is important so that you don't become victim of healthcare scams. For example as this article discusses how some UK residents ended up being charged for European healthcare cards that are available free from their national health service.
Arranging healthcare provisions can also be problematic for those who are not EU citizens or for those moving further afield. Most expats will opt to take out some form of private medical insurance but with the number of companies offering different policies and terms, sifting through page after page of small print can be bewildering. It might be worth having a look at this article by HR Magazine that looks at how to go about choosing a private medical insurer.
As well as seeking medical treatment abroad, expats should also consider what health requirements and restrictions the governments in their new homes have on those seeking work visas. The Daily Telegraph for example discusses changes in UAE vaccination regulations. Even if your new home does not mandate certain vaccinations it is always advisable to check what local vaccinations are recommended and ensure you leave enough time before you travel to complete any courses of drugs you need. The Travel Doctor website has region by region lists of the vaccinations you need before you travel.

I recommend the following company's plan: https://www.worldtrips.com/quotes/atlas/?referid=9800575
It provides coverage for treatment/diagnosis of injuries and illnesses sustained, as well as treatment needed for emergency-onset pre-existing conditions. Everyone qualifies and the plan is emailed to you within 10 minutes of purchasing through the link I posted, above. I bought the plan for my husband, and was very glad to have the relief of coverage in case something happened during his travels. They also have direct billing set up for MANY international doctors and hospitals. For long-term international coverage, try: https://www.worldtrips.com/quotes/ic/?referid=9800575
Best of luck!! - Anonymous12 October 2010 at 10:07
The EU healthcare card do have flaw for expatriates, and it is they don't provide a holder of the card with repatriate costs. This can be one the mostly costly services a patient may need to pay for, if they fall seriously ill.
Brokers such as Globalsurance are also a good source of information for expat, as they specialize in worldwide medical and health insurance for expatriates.
http://globalsurance.web.dev/index.php As you wrote, finding an international medical insurance could be long and complicated for expats. Benefits, conditions, pricing,...are different from one insurer to another one. Plus, you have to consider the services : advices, helpline, claims and so on.
A specialized broker may help you without additional costs. Don't hesitate !

1. Churning Butter: In a clean baby food jar pour half full with heavy whipping cream. Children shake for approx. 5-10 min., then magically it will turn into butter! You can add salt if desired, but we didn't and it tasted great! We made toast and spread it on. They were able to take the rest home and share with their family members.
2. Muddy Pigs: Finger paint with chocolate pudding! I didn't tell them it was pudding, so when I told them to lick them fingers when they were finished I got some funny looks. Mmmm...tasty art!
3. Udderly Art: Poke small holes in the fingertips of latex gloves. Fill partially with paint, close up the top with a clip or rubber band. Children can "milk" the glove and have it drip and squirt on paper. This project was fun after about the 5th child. It wasn't very easy to get the paint into each finger, may I suggest NOT doing individual colors in each finger, but one color in different gloves. This will make the project go by much faster and much easier to prepare.
4. Games: Egg/Spoon Relay, Milk Bucket Boogie(directions below), Farm Animal Charades and Clothespin Drop.
Milk Bucket Boogie: Relay style game. Each team gets two buckets, one empty, one filled with with packing peanuts and a scoop. Team member runs to designated spot where the filled bucket is and scoops out some "milk" then carefully runs/walks back to his team where the empty bucket is. We never call winners, just wait for each team to finish and then all celebrate. It is a fun and silly game.
5. Milking a Cow: Although my cow milking wasn't as cool as Teacher Tom's, but,we had fun non the less. Fill a latex glove with water, poke small holes in the finger tips and tie to the middle of a broom stick (held parallel to the ground). Or you can just hold it. :) Let the kids "milk" the fingers of the glove. Very, very fun! Near the end I "accidently" squirted the kids!!
Our home center (dramatic play area) was turned into a Farmers Market, we had farm puzzles out, farm songs, music, books, etc as well for all to enjoy.

Newbie question re setting up
Two set-up questions: when you get to the fishing site with your 2-or-3-piece rod, do you assemble the rod first and then mount the reel, or the other way around, i.e., mount the reel first and then assemble the rod? Second, when you're assembling a 2-or-3-piece rod, what is the best way to make sure the guides are aligned? Do you sight down the rod like a gun barrel, or do you hold the rod vertically in front of you and look at the guides from top to bottom? Many thanks, Evans
My rods are hardly ever without a reel on them. I may swap them, wash under the feet etc - but for the most part the reel is always on the rod so the reel goes first on the rod before assembly.
Putting the ferrules together - I push the ferrules on a little offline and twist them in line. Definitely easier to sight from fat to skinny. Here's a tip - put the smaller top sections together first, then put the assembly onto the bottom section so you don't have to reach. A little pure paraffin wax once in a while makes them seat together better. If the ferrules are stuck on a hot day, put the rod in the cold water for a while and they will come apart easily. Fold the line over to make it easier to thread the guides. Put the reel on a scratch-free surface like a log as you work up the rod. If you are fishing with a buddy it's customary to offer to lend a hand. May beginner's luck be on your side. |
Juro--Many thanks for those tips!
Which ever way you go assemble your rod, including a fly, before going out in a boat. Sections of rods sink quickly if there is no line running throught the guides. This is huge if you are fishing out of a float tube or pontoon boat.
As for aligning the ferrules, even if the rod has alignment dots, I put it most of the way together and then sight down the guides like a rifle. I then tighten it the rest of the way once it's aligned. Quote:

I had a user who received an e-mail pretending to be from google updates

The link actually takes them to=20
None of the AV scanners picked this up when downloading the EXE,

The file is called GoogleToolbarFirefox.exe
I am assuming this is some sort of Trojan or exploit of firefox.
Unfortunately the user ran the file as well, has anyone else out there
seen this or know what this may be ? I have submitted the file for
further testing.

List of Accredited Online Degrees
A degree in Leadership studies is a fairly new, as of the last 60 years, academic discipline. The program focuses on the concept of leadership in an organizational context and a human development context. The evolution of the need for a degree program in leadership is the result of a new conceptual view on the business world that blends the social factors of sociology, anthropology, psychology, history and philosophy to subsidize the business elements of an organization with the humanitarian elements.
The modern leadership program will give graduates the formal academic education to provide a multi-faceted approach to management, organization and team building, while still providing the business foundation courses. The definition of 'leadership' can fit many ideas. Leadership can be; a process, it can be a personality trait, it can be a task or it can be an action. As of recently the concept of leadership has been viewed as an inherent trait, something that cannot be learned. The prowess to organize a group of people to achieve a common goal was a strategic combination of vision, values and business savvy.
Contemporary leadership programs in colleges and universities often place a leadership degree program in business schools, education school and psychology departments, due to the broad and dynamic subject matter involved in the programs curriculum. The intrinsic value future employers place on graduates of a leadership program will provide students the confidence and foundations to successfully lead and manage a goal oriented group of individuals.

Using annual data on 20 industrial countries over the period from 1972 to 2003, this article analyses the impact of inflation volatility on unemployment. It finds that higher volatility over the previous 10 years is associated with a higher unemployment rate in the current year. The effect appears to be small in the short run and medium sized in the long run. The results are robust to variations in specification and sample size. The magnitude of the effect is not smaller if the sample is limited to the more recent sub-period of comparatively low inflation volatility.

Hotel Chocolat Giveaway
When Hotel Chocolat got in touch with me and said the Christmas Catalogue was out and I could choose anything from it, I was ecstatic to say the least.
It took me a good while to make a decision. There are just so many yummy products to choose from. I looked through the catalogue again and again, changing my mind each time, but I eventually decided I couldn't live any longer without trying their milk chocolate Christmas Tree.
I have to quote you their description so you can truly appreciate how excited I was.
"A thrilling blend of mellow 40% milk chocolate with crunchy roasted almonds, hand cut caramel florentines and the colourful contrast of Christmassy cranberries. Decked out with ultimate baubles – super smooth gianduja truffles."
You are hooked now too, right? It is a hugely thick slab of the most delicious chocolate, so thick and luxurious with lovely chewy cranberries and caramel, then the crunch of almonds. The truffles on top are just an added bonus.
If you are visiting the site you must have a browse through the Christmas Section, there is such a great range of chocolates to give as Christmas presents. I can guarantee you will be drooling by the time you look through all the luscious photos and read the descriptions. Mmmmmm!
And now comes the exciting news. Hotel Chocolat have kindly given me another Milk Chocolate Christmas Tree to give away to one lucky reader.
If you would like to be in with a chance to win a tree then here are the rules:
1. Only open to residents of the UK (sorry to all my international readers)
2. Become a follwer of Tinned Tomatoes
3. Leave a comment to say you would like to enter
4. If you don't have a blog, please leave an email address, so I can get in touch with you if you win.
Easy Peasy!
The giveaway will be open for the next two weeks until 28 November 2010.

Alice is Stunningly Beautiful with an amazing Body! She really can give CJ Parker a run for her money, as long as it's in slow motion.

Hmm some boring shots, but the model is amazing.
Daigoz - almost 4 years ago
This is the set that led me to this site, so I gotta give it 5 stars. I would probably do that anyway. Alice is a beach goddess!

@Rubbl3z .. cheers mate :)

@pale.ale I was making a comment in general based on why I like visiting Zishy and why I joined up and why I'm sticking around. If I was answering you specifically I'd use your name. Like I did in this comment.
Rubbl3z - almost 4 years ago
@Rubbl3z.. mine was not a criticism of the level of "nudity" :) I just found the pictures repetitive.. Get it?
pale.ale - almost 4 years ago
I love this set, always leave them wanting more, unlike some I don't see that as a bad thing, it's why I joined the site... I want tease taken as far as it can without just becoming a strip, nude and spread site, zishy delivers the tease and the sizzle and every new set makes me glad I joined, wish wish wish the sets were maybe 80 pics in size so I can really get to leer for longer, also wish where nipples are revealed they don't get covered up with dots or stars (major error of judgement there, either you show on the models who want to show or your cover up by other means) but in terms of giving me what I came here for zishy is delivering an 8 and often a 9 out of ten, for me. Certainly, there's room for improvements but I think Zach'll make those, I love this site, I have every faith, thanks!
Rubbl3z - almost 4 years ago
there are basically 4 pictures in this set.. just shot from slightly different angles and distances. Example: 40, 41, 43 & 44. Almost exact same pictures. 27 & 27 - 16, 17 & 18 - 31 & 32 - 22 & 23 - 25 & 26. It is not the model who is boring, Whistlingfish, its the picture :P
pale.ale - almost 4 years ago
I personally love how these came out, but I am not the most objective viewer!
Sharkee - almost 4 years ago
I disagree. There's nothing boring about Alice Wonder. She's always a welcome sight.
Whistlingfish - almost 4 years ago
boring set..
