This episode is one of the best in the series.
I've seen an infinite amount of posts on how bad this episode's animation is. If you add up all of the stretchy faces it is maybe 30 secs out of the 20min episode. If I wanted to I could find an equal amount of weird faces/animation in the latest episode with Madara. How can 30 secs of an episode ruin the entire thing for some people?
Whether you like the animation or not you have to admit that it has some of the best action sequences in the anime. Have you read this fight in the manga recently? It's really boring. The episode added so much more fighting and made all of the moments more epic. Here are some of them:
-Instead of going 6 tails right off the bat, he fights as 4 tails for a while
-made the 6 tails transformation more epic
-added some fighting between that part and the part where he breaks the seal
-made the seal breaking scene more epic
-Pain summons a whole ****ing ocean
I mean come on, what is not to like about this? and that is just the first half of the episode.
If you haven't seen the episode in a while, or have only seen it once, I suggest you watch it again. Every time I watch it I notice something new and appreciate it more.
What annoys me the most is that everyone only mentions the bad 30 seconds and not the extremely well done parts like these:
TLDR: stop crying about 20 seconds of the episode the rest is awesome.

High-end housewares and furnishings retailer Williams-Sonoma will open its second store in Australia soon after securing a lease in Melbourne's fashionable shopping strip Chapel Street.
Williams-Sonoma leads a vanguard overseas retail brands taking advantage of Australia's relatively strong economy and the growing reach on online sales.
President and CEO Laura Alber, visiting Australia to tour the retailers maiden store in Bondi and address the Retail World Expo, said there were great opportunities for the business in the region with Australia already the retailer's biggest market outside of North America thanks to the huge popularity of online shopping.
Williams-Sonoma, which owns brands such as Pottery Barn and West Elm, has annual sales of more than $US4 billion and last year made 750,000 home deliveries of its furniture to US homes.
Ms Alber said the future of retail was an omni-channel model where retailers could match a bricks and mortar stores network with a compelling online offer.
"I think that's the future," said Ms Alber.
"Think about it from a consumer perspective. Wouldn't you like to be able to do both, to shop at both bricks and mortar and online."
Williams-Sonoma grew from a catalog business and currently has a portfolio of stores in North America and opened its first Australian store in Sydney on May 2.
The retailer books 47 per cent of all its revenue either online or through a call centre. Of that, 90 per cent of transactions are executed online.
Ms Alber said its direct to customer sales should lift soon from 47 per cent to 50 per cent.
The retailer will open a West Elm store in Melbourne soon after securing a lease in Chapel Street.
"The reality is as we shopped the Australian market there is not a lot of people doing what we are doing, so there is a gap in the market place for affordable well designed home furnishings."
Williams-Sonoma is one of many well known international retail brands that have flocked to Australia recently, with others such as Zara from Spain, Japanese department store Uniqlo and H&M also looking to set up or have already established a base.

I bought these to use for the annual cookie book I make for all the gals who come to the cookie exchange. This was embossed with one of the Ten second studio embossing panels and then wrapped around chipboard for the front and back cover. It's a great product that embosses easily by hand or with your home die cutting machine. I used the Big Shot to do mine.

Centura Health has more experts in more places throughout the region. Start your health journey by finding the right one for you.
A registered nurse specially trained in assisting with gastroenterology procedures, CPR and Advanced Cardiac Life Support will take you to the procedure room and stay with you for the entire test. The room can be very intimidating. It is crowded with medical equipment and has strange sounds. Your vital signs will be monitored closely, and you will wear oxygen for the test.
The doctor will speak with you before the test. He will discuss your medical history and symptoms. Again, feel free to ask any questions. You will sign a consent for the examination.
If you are having an EGD you will have to remove any partial denture or plates. When the doctor is ready, you will turn to your left side and the RN will start your sedation. You should feel very sleepy or maybe euphoric quickly. Once you are sedated the test will begin. An EGD and flexible sigmoidoscopy usually lasts 5-15 minutes, and a colonoscpy can last from 15-30 minutes. An ERCP and EUS can take an hour or longer. Usually you wake in recovery with no recollection of the test.
Manometries, acid reflux tests and capsule endoscopies take up to an hour. No sedation is given for these tests. Capsule endoscopies require a return visit in 8 hours. Acid reflux tests require a return visit either in 24 or 48 hours, depending on the type of test you have.
Our search tools require a zip code to match the location nearest you.

Kelly + Julian
Santa Margarita Ranch – Paso Robles, CA
July 2010
Okay first, I apologize that this post is really long, but when you get down to the end, you'll know why (and probably decide to scroll through it again). When I received this wedding to feature, I honestly couldn't decide which photos to use! There were so many amazing photos! And the one thing that stuck out for me was how photogenic Kelly and Julian are…in every photo. In terms of details, minus a few things here and there, all of them were done by the bride. I love the use of seasonal/wild flowers in both the centerpieces and bouquets. Her dress is beyond to-die-for, it was actually her mother's dress from the 1970's, and she got it hemmed into a shorter, vintage dress. The entire style is exactly what a rustic wedding should look like. Needless to say, here's their beautiful day, thanks to Austin & Dara Photography. Enjoy!

Opinion: George Zimmerman Trial Is Exposing America's Ugly Truths
America is witnessing a second murder as the George Zimmerman trial comes to a distressing and despicable conclusion. What is left is the verdict, the possibilities of which terrify and anger many before it is even stated. We hope for justice but we expect the worst. That is because, first, 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was pursued and shot by Zimmerman on the night of February 26, 2012, apparently because this Black boy posed such a grave threat to this man, and in spite of a police dispatcher telling Zimmerman not to follow Trayvon. Now, for days, I've watched a joke of a trial, in which Zimmerman has been magically transformed into the innocent victim while Trayvon Martin has been morphed into a monster, his character assassinated by the defense and certain media outlets. The more we go forward in America the more we seem to go backwards, too. That is because the real issue here is racism, something a lot of us like to pretend no longer exists. But I say later for the talk about a post-racial America because Barack Obama is the president. Later for the pomp and circumstance around 2013 being the 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation or the 50th anniversary of Dr. King's "I Have A Dream" speech. America has a long and deep-rooted race problem, and if ever a scenario puts that on blast, it is what happened to Trayvon Martin, and what has happened since. For me the most jarring episode of this trial was how Rachel Jeantel (pictured above), Trayvon's friend, and the last person to speak with him on his cellphone before he was killed, got mugged by the defense, and by the media, and by many of us from her own community, because of the way she looks and speaks. Ignorance is a mighty thing when it does not know its own history. For Rachel Jeantel is a former slave named Sojourner Truth asking in 1851, "Ain't I A Woman?" to this day a classic expression of women's rights; Rachel Jeantel is Moses Wright, Emmett Till's great uncle, saying in his Mississippi dialect in the 1950s "Thar he" in a courtroom in reference to the murderer of his nephew; Rachel Jeantel is Fannie Lou Hamer, at the height of the Civil Rights Movement, summing up American racism: "sick and tired of bein' sick and tired"; and Rachel Jeantel is Kanye West saying, bluntly, "George Bush doesn't care about Black people," as the then president took his time responding to Hurricane Katrina victims in New Orleans. But when racism has become a series of blurred lines, when a Rachel Jeantel, because of a combination of racial bigotry, a strong dislike for poor people, and, yes, Black self-hatred, can be twisted in the wind, it says anything goes and anything is possible with the soon-to-be verdict in this trial. Only in a nation that has never dealt directly with its history of racism could we venture from a Black boy being murdered by a man with a racist mindset to that Black boy being a monster and his friend Rachel a disposable shero lost in a barrage of personal attacks. Rachel Jeantel, Trayvon Martin's father and his mother, and any who've stepped forth to tell the truth represent great courage. And courage is not always pretty, shiny, or perfect. Sometimes it is just mad raw and mad real. As raw and real as the blood that gushed like from Trayvon's body as his life was blasted away. The great irony of all this, to me, is that it is our America that has for a long time pushed, like a drug dealer, some of the worst and most stereotypical images of Black folks. You see this on the local news, in reality TV shows, hear it on the radio, and on YouTube videos with millions of views. American racism is a sport where we discriminate and marginalize people into a corner then wonder why, isolated and fighting for survival every single day of their lives, they behave, react, and speak the way they do. And then we turn around and seek to verbally destroy what we've created when it fits our racial agenda. This is the sickness that is American racism. Far too many honestly believe Black males of any age are dangerous. Far too many honestly believe a Rachel Jeantel has nothing to offer to our society except a bad attitude and her version of the English language. And perhaps some unfathered children along the way. Even more ironic is that George Zimmerman's father is White and his mother Latina and he appears to be physically Latino but he clearly thinks like a White racist male. But you have to wonder if it ever crossed Zimmerman's mind that just how he pursued aggressively Trayvon is how Latinos who look like him are pursued so aggressively by anti-immigration racists in our America? Racism is not merely about skin color, then, but it is also a belief system, a system of oppression that any of us can and do participate in, if the shoe fits. That is how George Zimmerman rolls, and how countless others roll in America. And why Zimmerman refused to testify in this trial, for he would have been further exposed for the racist he is, and those who support him for the racists they are. Finally, I do not want to see violence in any form if "not guilty" comes back for George Zimmerman. We've got to figure out how to live and work and be together as a human race, even in our ugliest moments like this. But how nearsighted is it that local law enforcement there in Florida have produced a video asking people not to become violent, seemingly in anticipation of "not guilty" for Zimmerman? And I wonder why no one ever encourages the George Zimmermans of the world to be nonviolent and peaceful as well, until it is far too late?

Why no one comments on Danny Sullivan's new blog/
September 2, 2006
Since the whole SEO industry is still dealing with the departure of Danny Sullivan from SES etc, I won't go there and will just complain about conversion on his new blog/podcast (well, commenting. Maybe he doesn't define comments as a form of conversion.)
I checked out his new site today, and I was pretty surprised when I got on the site and saw post after post, with no comments. Hmm, I thought, maybe that's because loyal Searchcast listeners are just that, listeners. And you get the subscription so you don't need to go to the site… still and all, a little weird. And then I tried to comment (and all I want to tell the guy is, could you please read my post about 10 mistakes that podcasters make and recognize that mistakes 3-6 were inspired by you?) But I was unable to comment, and here is why.
First, I had to create a TypeKey membership. Already a stumbling block (like asking your buyers to sign in before making a purchase). Then I went back to the site and tried to comment but I wasn't signed in. OK, I can do this, I though. So I clicked to sign in (with my shiny new sign up) and got this:
It didn't matter which choice I made, either way, I got the same error message:
An error occurred: This weblog requires commenters to pass an email address. If you'd like to do so you may log in again, and give the authentication service permission to pass your email address.
Eventually, in the course of writing this post, I went back to my profile, changed it to pass my email address, and now I get the error message automatically. I don't even have to make a choice.
When the data look strange (like your 3% conversion rate just dropped to .002% or you are one of the most popular podcasters around but no one sends you comments), it's a red flag. Maybe something really is wrong.

With a New Year Comes Opportunities for Cannabis in 2012
Published: 01/03/2012
by Theodore Hartman
As one year begins its close the New Year promises to be big for cannabis reform. For more reasons than one 2012 will deliver into the hands of voters ballot initiatives they can pass and begin to reverse the position of cannabis and hemp in America. Also the country can make an even bigger leap for the future of cannabis, and hemp by picking the right candidates in the upcoming elections. Bigger than that it seems is the hope of a Ron Paul win in this year's presidential election. The most important thing about cannabis reform in the U.S. is that with people realizing the harm of failed policies and the potentials of cannabis for the economy that 2012 is a year that we will go into with people's approval of cannabis as medicine as well as disapproval of the federal government's handling of the cannabis issue. This momentum sparked by approval and a sense of urgency brought about by recent moves at the federal level create an atmosphere of the desperate need of a shift in cannabis policy to reflect American peoples attitudes towards it. Most people agree people should not be imprisoned for using cannabis, and voters will make huge moves to reform with this New Year.
In 2012 states like: Illinois, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania. Their legislatures have House, and Senate bills for medical cannabis use, to protect patients and caregivers and move towards more compassionate policies. In New Hampshire HB 442 Introduced by Evalyn Merrick (D) the purpose of the act is to protect patients with debilitating medical conditions, and their doctors from criminal prosecution. Language like that in This House bill and similar language in other House bill's really show legislator's beginning to worry about patients who may find relief with cannabis as an alternative that they are at some risk without some acknowledgment from the state, so moves such as this could move more states to put in place those protections for patients nationwide.
Also voters could do as much for reform by using they're voices at the ballot box and passing some initiatives that once approved by voter's not only would change state policy, but would set the stage for a very serious debate in America about states rights, and federal authority when it comes to cannabis. If voters in many states can pass some of the measures then people would need to question the federal government's position if it will directly interfere with protections for patients approved by voters.
Some initiatives go even further than permitting medicinal use of cannabis, and are trying to allow for the use of cannabis recreationally by adults, as well that taxes can be collected to be used by the state. One such measure The Show Me Cannabis Regulation initiative in Missouri has received certification by the Secretary of state and they are gathering 150,000 signatures by May 6th to qualify for the November 2012 ballot. The measure would amend the constitution to do among other things remove cannabis from the states drug schedules and would also allow for the agricultural production of hemp and allow for the production of products made from hemp. The Legalize 2012: Colorado Constitutional amendment would re-legalize cannabis and hemp for all purposes, they also say it would bring in tax revenue as well they claim it will fix problems with amendment 20, which they claim has problems and that it would provide people in Colorado with better safer access to their medicine.
Also in California two measures the California Cannabis Hemp and Health Initiative 2012 has begun to take signatures and The Regulate Marijuana like Wine Initiative Are two possible ballot decisions. The Regulate Marijuana like Wine Initiative would repeal prohibition of marijuana for adults, and would strictly regulate marijuana as an industry. And the CCHHI would re legalize cannabis and hemp and is being called the Jack Herer initiative. It is positive to see two possible decisions that voters can choose if they are both on the ballot, but one seems much more restrictive and regulated and there is a distinct difference with the two measures, And It will be interesting to see if voters pass either pieces of legislation because as with the Prop 19 campaign in California which had a few people who didn't support the measure, but supported cannabis legalization didn't support Prop 19 because they thought it was flawed, and it didn't pass so it will be interesting to see in 2012 if either of these initiatives will satisfy people from California into voting in some form of legalization, or regulation.
The most monumental move by far that can be made in 2012 for cannabis and hemp reform would be with the nomination and election of Congressman Ron Paul (R) Texas. Dr. Ron Paul has been on the campaign trail since the beginning for the Republican nomination for President. If Dr. Ron Paul can win the nomination and eventually the presidency his election could mean a drastic change in federal government posture towards cannabis, as Dr. Paul is both for medicinal cannabis and personal freedom and liberty, but he also understands that people should be free to choose how they want to treat themselves. Dr. Paul has recognized that alcohol is much more dangerous for people than cannabis, and has more drastic societal problems associated with its use. It's my feeling that a Ron Paul election could mean the freedom to once again let our farmers make the most of the hemp crop for the production of goods as well perhaps the production of fuel. Also with Dr. Paul we would see an end to wasteful spending by the federal government waging a drug war that does more to benefit the people they are fighting against, and hurts more the people they are trying to protect. Ron Paul's campaign has been growing steam, and has always courted a devotional group of supporters many of them young people who appreciate Dr. Paul's message of freedom and liberty as well as his stance on the war, and his attitude towards cannabis.
With so much to look forward to in the coming year it is easy to become complacent. Be weary in 2012 of the government's response to things like governors requesting rescheduling of cannabis, and states having problems trying to implement medical marijuana programs. Also the crackdown on California may heat up in 2012 if proper pressures aren't put on the Administration and the Justice Department to cease their activities putting patients health at risk and really trying to make a move on medicinal cannabis nationwide. Much of the headway the cannabis movement has made could be challenged if the Federal government decides to loft its power and impose it on states.
Of course with a new year there will be many opportunities to change the landscape around cannabis and hemp in 2012 and it will be up to the People and the Voter's to make that change happen.

Under-18s Top Under-20s 3-2 to Finish Off Training Camps at NTC
CARSON, Calif. (Thursday, January 8, 2003) - The U.S. Under-18 MNT got goals from midfielders Christian Jimenez and Michael Bradley, and defender Adam Sloustcher in a hard-fought 3-2 over the U.S. Under-20 MNT today in a scrimmage at the National Training Center in Carson, Calif. on Thursday afternoon. Jimenez added an assist and forward Rodrigo Hidalgo had a pair of helpers for the U-18s.
Fresh of a cameo appearance with the full national team in training, Jimenez put the Under-18s ahead in the 26th minute after converting a cross from forward Rodrigo Hidalgo.
Just four minutes later, forward Jamie Watson found the end of a John DiRaimondo corner to level the score at 1-1.
On the day he announced his signing with Major League Soccer, Bradley showed a skilled touch to score the U-18's second goal in minute No. 58. After collecting a backheel pass from Hidalgo, Bradley chipped U-20 goalkeeper Andrew Kartunen.
Jimenez added an assist to his open goal on the game winning tally by Sloustcher. Making a good run toward goal, the defender headed home the corner kick from his U-17 residency teammate for the eventual game-winner in the 60th minute.
A goal by Chad Barrett 10 minutes from time cut the lead to 3-2, but the Under-20s ran out of time in the end and were upset by the younger squad despite holding a 9-6 advantage on shots.
The Under-20s were without the services of Freddy Adu and Danny Szetela, who returned to Bradenton, Fla., for end of the semester exams with U.S. Soccer's Under-17 residency program. The camp closes for both of these teams on Friday.
Participants: U.S. Under-20 Men's National Team vs. U.S. Under-18 Men's National Team

Few industries are more unpopular today than deep-water oil exploration, as the massive BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico reaches its 82nd day.
Yet a San Diego company, Quasar Geophysical Technologies, is pushing ahead with electromagnetic sensor technology that it says provides a better way to find oil deposits deep below the ocean surface.
Is that a fool's errand, given the current sentiment regarding offshore drilling? Not necessarily, according to the company and academic experts.
Increased regulation that's likely after the gulf spill may require additional seafloor surveying before drilling — in part to better determine whether it's safe to drill. That could spur demand for Quasar's electromagnetic sensor technology.
The company, a unit of Quasar Federal Systems, took an underwater sensor system it developed for the U.S. Navy and adapted it to ocean-bottom surveying with its QMax EM3 underwater electromagnetic receiver.
The device, which looks like a thick trash can, was among R&D Magazine's 100 most significant technology products introduced in 2010, the publication announced this week.
Privately held Quasar Federal has been working on electromagnetic sensor technology for more than a decade. The company has developed sensors that can be embedded in helmets to detect when soldiers are being overwhelmed with too much information. It also has sensors that can locate lightning strikes.
It has its roots in Quantum Magnetics, a San Diego research company that built land mine detection systems and airport baggage scanners. Quantum was purchased by General Electric in 2004. Today, many former Quantum executives work at Quasar.
Quasar is relatively new to the underwater sensing field. There are other electromagnetic systems in use, but Quasar's device is smaller and contains technology that is more rugged and requires less care than existing electromagnetic systems in use today, according to the company.
"It's easier to use," said George Eiskamp, chief executive of Quasar Geophyscial. "It's faster to prepare, deploy and recover. And based on our initial tests, we think the data quality is better, as well."
The petroleum industry uses seismic systems — or acoustics — to find liquid under the seafloor. But in many cases, it's salt water, not oil.
Electromagnetic surveys can help determine if the liquid is oil. The equipment is sensitive enough to detect low-frequency electrical currents flowing through the seabed. Seawater is conductive; oil is resistive. Quasar's sensors can tell the difference.
Pinpointing oil deposits under the seafloor is only part of the puzzle, however. It's also important to know what substances are near the oil. One important thing to look for is gas hydrate — which are ice-like solids that form under pressure at fairly cold temperatures where methane is abundant, said Steven Constable of Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UCSD, which pioneered seafloor electromagnetic survey systems.
Hydrate is found in deep underwater canyons and in the Gulf of Mexico. They have created problems in BP's efforts to contain the oil spill.
Electromagnetic sensor technology could be used to look for gas hydrate in the sea floor before drilling.
"Accidentally drilling through hydrate could create blowouts in wells," said Constable, who doesn't believe this was the cause of the BP disaster. "So increased concern and regulation in the gulf may include the need to look for hydrate before drilling, which may include a call for more controlled source electromagnetic surveys. So Quasar could benefit from that."
Quasar thinks it can become a supplier to the companies now doing seafloor survey work for oil companies. Drilling deep-water wells is expensive, and the success rate is low. So using advanced sensors to help make sure it's done safety and to improve the success rate is critical, according to Quasar.
"The main market is deep-water exploration," said Constable of Quasar's receiver. "And since there is about a decade between exploration and final production, the current events will probably have no impact one way or another on this market unless we decide right now not to use oil and gas for energy in the near future, which I haven't heard seriously proposed."

County encourages students to follow recycling laws
September 5, 2007
Filed under News
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
As the school year begins, students living off campus need to know the recycling laws and what can and cannot be recycled, said Jon Tulman, associate planner for Eau Claire County's planning and development department.
"Recycling is mandatory," Tulman said. "It's not an option, and we do enforce it."
In 1990, Wisconsin passed the Solid Waste Reduction, Recovery and Recycling Law, which instituted recycling requirements.
Newspapers, magazines and catalogues; telephone books; plastic bottles labeled No. 1 or 2; glass jars and bottles; steel and tin food and beverage cans; and corrugated cardboard must be recycled, Tulman said.
Corrugated cardboard is the type of cardboard a shoe box is made of, he said. There are three layers to it: two outer walls and a curved, ribbon layer inside.
He said part of the law also requires people to remove the caps of plastic and glass bottles and rinse out any kind of container that once had a food or beverage inside. Labels don't have to be removed, but it helps.
In some places the landlord is responsible for getting a garbage service, he said, while in others the tenant is responsible for doing so.
But regardless of who is responsible, the company chosen provides a recycling bin and collects the recyclables once a week.
Those living in the city of Eau Claire can receive curbside recycle-pickup service for $8 a year. If someone lives outside the city limits, that fee is put on his or her property tax bill.
Fines for violating the law range from $200 to $1,000, Tulman said. However, the highest fee a student can receive is $200, but with court costs, the number is closer to $400.
Junior Michelle Rugland lives off campus and said she recycles cans and bottles but isn't aware of the law's specifics. She said she didn't know people can be fined for violating the recycling laws.
"I don't really know any laws," she said. "I just know you're supposed to (recycle)."
But Tulman said the county doesn't have enforcers looking for violators.
"Most often anything that winds up in enforcement is a result of a complaint," he said. "But if I'm going through an area and I see something that's obvious the people aren't recycling, then I might issue a citation."
He said the county doesn't write many citations, but they write more than any other recycling program in the state, adding that a landlord received recently a $3,000 fine.
"It's the law. It's a good environmental thing to do, and it's good for energy conservation," Tulman said. "Making materials from a recycled product means less air pollution, less water pollution and less use of resources. It's much more efficient."

Jessica Simpson Predicts Her Breakup In Glamour Interview
She should have knocked on wood. Jessica Simpson is on the cover of the September issue of Glamour, looking happy and chic. But, natch, the interview and photo shoot happened before Tony Romo told her that he didn't want to be her Ken doll. So it's interesting that, in the story, Jessica makes an odd psychic prediction about her life sans Romo:
"If this article comes out and we're not together, I'd still love him, and he'd still be a huge part of who I am today."
Check out her other musings, after the jump. [Glamour]On creating her line, the Jessica Simpson Collection:
"It's an incredible experience, creatively. I love to work with my mom; we're very hands-on. I get my inspiration from books, pictures, art. The newest line we're doing is luggage. We're doing toiletry bags, carry-ons—anything you can think of."
On designing for different body types:
"Whenever we have models come in, we use normal everyday women. The bathing suit models have to really have boobs. I'm excited about the intimates we make. We make girls with bigger busts feel sexy under their clothes."
On her upcoming TV show, "The Price of Beauty":
"I fell in love with the idea when it was presented to me. It's not fair that women look in the mirror and feel disgust because of what society has made them believe. I've been through it myself and understand the pressures. We're all facing the same struggles together, whether you're a celebrity or not. In the end, women need to fall in love with themselves and realize they're beautifully and wonderfully made."
On her own insecurities:
"When I was young, I would look at magazines and feel a lot of pressure. I was always disconnected from myself; there was this idea of perfection I couldn't ever get to."
On the recent tabloid frenzy about her weight:
"It's amazing to me how much thought is put into a woman's figure on tabloid covers."
[Editor's note: And this was before OK! faked a cover about her amazing post-breakup weight loss.]
On divorce:
"It was like a death in the family…all of a sudden you have to find life by yourself. Once you do that, you feel complete—and that's the only time you can truly fall in love again and give yourself completely to another person."
On talking about her personal life:
"I'm just a really open person…but if I were to say I wasn't a little bit jaded, that would be a lie. I am definitely on guard."
On what she is most proud of professionally:
"I would say this last record [Do You Know]. I figured life out through writing; it was a very honest album for me."
On what's next:
"Running the Jessica Simpson Collection: after my music, that is my passion. I'm never going to be a woman who doesn't work. But I'm just enjoying life right now. I'm enjoying being normal."

Jan 25, 2013 - By Alejandra Silva, Staff WriterBirds on runways and flight paths at Riverton Regional Airport are a concern to airport officials, so airport staff and the board are reviewing bids received for the Wildlife Hazard Assessment and Management Plan to be carried out at the airport.
Riverton public services director Urbigkit said due to a well-known incident in New York where a commercial jetliner landed in the Hudson River after hitting a flock of geese, a more thorough assessment of bird hazards at Riverton Regional would be beneficial.
Loomacres Wildlife Management Inc. of Warnerville, New York, with an office in Worland, confirmed the lowest bid of $73,000. Also bidding were Morrison-Maierle Inc. from Helena, Mont., SWCA Environmental Consultants of Houston, and Smith Environmental and Engineering from Westminster, Colo.
"There's a big push to have safety around the airport," Griffin said.
He said officials will make sure bidders have met the required criteria, and the board will review all bids before a decision is made.
Urbigkit said the city budgeted $133,000 for the review, and all four bids came under that amount. A year-round assessment is expected as opposed to the one-day studies the airport has done in the past, because different species will appear during different seasons.
"Like we have the crow issues in the winter but not the summer," Griffin said.

In what ways are fillers from fat grafting superior to more common fillers such as collagen or Restylane for lip augmentation?
Fat Grafting for Lips?
Doctor Answers 6
Implants, fat grafting or hyaluronic acid fillers all do great in the lips.
Lips can do well with a variety of treatments and should be customized according to what you want. Fillers ($550/syringe) are great to start with and once you find what size and look you like then do implants ($1500-2000/implant) to permanently fix your lips. Fat grafting ($1500-2500) is still an option used by some docs and can do well in some cases but not most. Combinations of the above are also used when needed. Sincerely,
David Hansen,MD

Hyaluronic Acid Fillers are Best for Lip Enhancement
The best products for lip augmentation are hyaluronic acid fillers such as Restylane, Perlane and Juvéderm. These fillers provide smooth full lips without lumps or bumps and they are also great for filling in fine lines and recontouring the arch of the lip. Fat, on the other hand, can be lumpy and unpredictable (i.e. you don't know how much will survive as some does reabsorb). Fat also is particularly difficult to place in the lip due to the amount of movement that occurs in the mouth. I have seen cases where the fat did take and it gave the patient a monkey like appearance. Fat injections are one of my least favorite ways to fill the lips. Stick to the tried and true!

None, IMHO. Fat transfer is not as reliable as fillers like Restylane and Juvederm nor is it as effective in Lip Augmentation as Alloderm or silastic Lip Implants.

Fat grafting vs hyaluronic acids for lips
Fat is theoretically a permanent construct that could last forever, but for some reason it does not "hold" too well in the lips. Often fat injections need to be repeated because not all the fat "takes." Hyaluronic acid fillers are nice because they give consistent results but need to be repeated.
Fat grafting of lips vs. fillers.
Fat Grafting to Lips Is Both Good And Bad
In talking about lip augmentation, there are a number of different ways that this can be achieved. For some it is an injectable, others it is their own fat, and still others it is an actual lip implant. The difference between the fillers such as Juvaderm/ Restylane and a patient's own fat is that the Juvaderm/ Restylane is not permanent, where as your own fat should be. Juvaderm/restyalne only lasts 12-18 months, whereas your own fat should be permanent once your body incorporates it. However, the fillers are smoother in their injections and have less chance of a bumby appearance or feel to then as compared to fat. Also, fat injections often require multiple treatments since only about 50-60% of the fat will actually "take." I hope this helps.

Lack of exercise and excessive eating made Henry VIII a dumpy king in this 1542 Hans Holbein portrait.
or a man who died with a 54-inch waist, Henry VIII started out a regular pin-up boy.
At 6'2", he featured a "small but sensual mouth," an "admirably proportioned frame" and "a round face so beautiful it would become a pretty woman." When Henry played tennis, his fair skin "glowed" through his shirt, according to Venetian Sebastian Giustinian, who added "His Majesty is the handsomest potentate I ever set eyes on."
Like any beauty pageant contestant, though, the king kept a sharp eye on the competition. Appearing as Robin Hood at May Day festivities in 1515, Henry quizzed the French ambassador about Francis I. Henry won on girth, but the two were neck and neck on height. It all came down to legs. "Look here! ," Henry exclaimed, tearing open his doublet. "I also have a good calf to my leg!"
But Henry's shapely legs wouldn't last. Damaged in jousts, they featured seeping ulcers, left open to safeguard the king's health. By the time of his death, this "Adonis" among kings could barely walk.

Our family would like to take a cruise this summer in June for our family vacaton. I am so confused on what is a good cruise, destinatin, and price. We are in our mid 40's and our children are 8 and 12.
The cruises I have researched are very expensive. We don't want to leave out of florida seeing that we go to FL too much. We would like to take the train to the port e.g. New York, Galvanston TX.
Does anyone no of a good travel agent that would give a good price on a cruise? Should we wait to book or book now in fear that the price will go up?
Welcome to Cruise-Chat. It definitely isn't too early for you to get your cruise booked. You will find the summer time is a peak season and cruise prices will reflect that. The farther in advance you book the better. If rates should fall before your final payment they can be adjusted. Most cruise lines require final payment 60-75 days prior to sailing. If they fall after final payment a cruise line may give a refund or on board credit. It varies between cruise lines and case by case basis.
Most cruise lines have children's programs. However; some cruise lines are better than others for the children's programs. Carnival, Royal Caribbean, and Disney all have excellent programs. You are limited to which cruise lines sail out of New York and Galveston. The lack of competition sailing out of Galveston also is driving the cruise price higher, along with the time of year you want to sail.
It is against the Terms of Service of Cruise-Chat to give out names of Travel Agents. You can check here for a cruise agency in your area by typing in your zipcode. They can help you decide which ships sailing out of New York and Galveston will best meet your needs.

"Red Dawn" is considered by many to be a classic movie from the eighties. Its popularity from the past should drive plenty of fans to see the remake by the same name, released over the Thanksgiving weekend.
The film is getting a mixed response. Check out two respected points of view:
From the Washington Free Beacon:
The new Red Dawn remake is a fine example of a number of dispiriting trends in the filmmaking industry. The picture was based on a brand name instead of a heartfelt original tale. The studios mutilated it in order to placate Chinese Communists. And it was served up to audiences that studios assume will eat whatever they are served. Read the full review:
Red Yawn
REVIEW: How Hollywood butchered a cult classic to appease China BY: Sonny Bunch
Comments from FoxNews.com:


text: Many economists don't expect unemployment to dip below 6.5 percent until late 2015. The Fed said it could pursue aggressive stimulus programs as long as its one- to two-year outlook for inflation doesn't top 2.5 percent. Inflation according to a measure used by the Fed is running at an annual rate of 1.7 percent.That's why most economists think Bernanke will have no trouble gathering the votes needed to maintain the Fed's stimulative efforts. The minutes of the December policy meeting showed that some officials felt it might be appropriate to scale back the Fed's bond purchases or end them outright before the end of 2013. Still, most analysts think the Fed will maintain the level of its bond purchases for the rest of this year, unless the unemployment rate falls much faster than expected.

Even though the changes were expected, all nine National Lacrosse League teams will be getting used to a bevy of new rules both on and off the turf in 2014.
In addition to a new luxury tax that will slap the wrists of over-spending NLL franchises and adjustments to free agency, two major changes will also have a big effect in regards to the on-the-floor product.
Included in the new seven-year collective bargaining agreement the league and players' association inked back in October will be a new 18-game schedule — up from 16 games — as well as the active roster being reduced from 23 bodies to 20.
After eyeing up the opening weekend of the NLL slate, Calgary Roughnecks GM Mike Board didn't see too much of a difference in strategy across the league.
"I watched some of the games from last weekend, and I don't think it slowed the game down, by any means," Board said. "It was still a very fast game. I think there's going to be a little more transition. There's going to be a little more of guys who play on the defensive end of the ball are going to sort of stay and play in the offence a little more just because of the nature of the way the game is and the transition. I think that's a big part of it — being a team that can run, that's athletic and plays both ends of the floor. I think a lot of teams will be thinking the same way."
With more of an emphasis on versatility, athleticism and conditioning, exactly how the extended season and smaller rosters affect teams probably won't be known until the wear and tear starts to take a toll in the latter portion of the schedule.
"We wanted to get a little more quickness in the lineup and add some athleticism," Board said. "We kind of anticipated that the rosters would be reduced, so you need guys who are fit, athletic and can play at both ends of the floor."
Roughnecks forward Shawn Evans believes it'll be noticeable.
"It's going to be a different kind of game," Evans said. "It's going to change it dramatically. Cutting one or two guys off the offensive door and a couple off the defensive door, that means less players on the bench, so obviously guys are going to be worn out a little more. It's going to be a challenge for each team and how they play."
Also included in the new seven-year CBA — there's a mutual opt-out agreement after five years — is an amended playoff system that will see the division finals and championship go from single elimination to a two-game series.
"The new format in the playoffs, I think it'll be exciting for the fans and for the players," Board added.
• Active rosters reduced from 23 to 20 players. Practice rosters subsequently increased from three players to four
• Regular-season schedule goes from 16 games to 18 games
• Division finals and championship move from one-game single-elimination to two-game series
• Qualifying age for unrestricted free agency goes from 32 years old to 30
• Teams above US$400,000 payroll threshold will be taxed 25%, escalating to 100% at $475,000. Tax money will be redistributed to franchises under $400,000 threshold
• Teams are now allowed to designate only one franchise player, as opposed to two, previously
• Veterans over the age of 34 will now be able to reject franchise player designation

Did you get formally diagnosed? How would you put your empathy, remorse, sympathy on a scale of 1-10? I'm curious to know where you fall. Are you NPD or simply a Narc?
But, the sad thing is its not really accepted as anything similar to Bipolar or any other mental disorder.
That said, do you believe that severe narcissism is a disorder?

All of that stuff you read about being 'born evil' didn't help, nor does also having ocd, which is tied up with a lot of guilt.

Ghana ghsdhims.org - an AfDB 2013 Award Winner on eHealth!
Ghana has since April 2012 used DHIS 2 nation-wide with a fully online deployment led by the Ghana Health Service. Recently this implementation won the The African Development Bank eHealth competition.
In addition to the routine aggregate data collected every month, the district hospitals are using the DHIS 2 Tracker module to capture case-based data from inpatient admissions and deaths with ICD-10 coded diagnosis, enabling more accurate morbidity and mortality statistics. More than 200 hospitals across the country register totally about 1000 new admissions every day using DHIS Tracker.
The online national DHIS 2 system played an active role in the recent regional annual performance reviews and by policy only data from the DHIS 2 is to be used in these reviews. Ghana delivered a record-breaking DHIS 2 rollout covering the whole country in around 6 months.
Tanzania dhis.moh.go.tz
Tanzania finalized its country wide rollout in 2013 after completely deploying a revised HMIS tools national wide. Over 1.5 million data from all facilities in the country are entered monthly in the National Data warehouse through internet connection using their Modems, Broadband LAN and VSAT link.
Through its epidemiology unit Tanzania has implemented weekly eIDSR reporting using Mobile USSD to DHIS 2. Immediate outbreaks and weekly summary data are directly collected from all public, private and FBO health facilities within the country. This fosters country's disease surveillance and response through DHIS 2. Tanzania is also the first country to fully integrate the Pay for Performance payout model into the DHIS2 National data warehouse which enables health service providers to fully monitor their performance and payments through DHIS 2.
Kenya hiskenya.org
Kenya was the first country in Sub-Saharan Africa to deploy a completely online national HIS in September 2011. All districts and selected health facilities are connecting to the DHIS 2 national server using Mobile Internet (dongles/usb modems) on their computers. Kenya allows self-registration of personal user accounts.
After 1 year of country-wide use the national reporting rates for the major monthly forms are stable above 90 percent. Approximately 2000 users are entering data and using the data analytics features in DHIS 2 to improve management of health districts and other administrative areas. The Kenya ministry of health allows for people to self-register their account, so you are free to log in and have a look.
Kenya has through the DHIS 2 Tracker customised the WHO SARA tool to conduct an extensive facility survey directly in DHIS 2. Having a full inventory of availability and readiness of services for all health facilities, public and private, will be a big boost for the data analysis in the national Kenyan DHIS 2 system.
To foster data use and simplify access to the data in DHIS 2 and other systems in the HIS architecture a web portal is under development. This Drupal-based portal makes full use of the DHIS 2 Web-API accessing pre-defined data analysis outputs like tables, charts and maps, as well as plugins to embed the Data Visualizer and GIS modules or to display favourite charts in a dynamic carousel.
The Kenyan DHIS 2 system is seeing an increase in the use of the collaborative tools. District officers from different sides of the country are using Interpretations to share charts and discuss possible interventions to improve health care, and daily many users are sending feedback messages or requests for support to the national team using the messages feature.
Uganda hmis1.health.go.ug
Uganda went country-wide with their online DHIS 2 implementation in August 2012 after a speedy roll-out that took less than 6 months, again taking advantage of the rapidly improving mobile Internet coverage in East Africa.
In addition to HMIS aggregate data, Uganda is at the forefront of the use of the new patient tracking capabilities in DHIS 2. A pilot implementation to track mothers and children to improve the continuum of care is under way and different client platforms are being explored to reach out to the local health workers and the pregnant mothers, such as laptops, smart phones, feature phones, and SMS messaging.
In the four Saving Mothers and Giving Life (SMGL) pilot districts in Western Uganda key indicators on maternal health are being collected in the community using mobile phones. Village Health Teams (VHT) are submitting data directly to the online national DHIS 2 system using SMS. This data is then immidiately available for data analysis by all online users at all levels across the the country.
Zambia hmis.dhis.co.zm
The national HMIS platform in Zambia has recently migrated to DHIS 2, supporting collection of data from facilities from the whole country. DHIS 2 is also being used in several community health worker and facility data collection programs.
The national Malaria control program and PATH have deployed a DHIS 2 Mobile solution to support a Malaria eradication initiative.
More than 600 clients are submitting a minimum dataset (cases, lab results, stocks) on Malaria every week using mobile phones (a J2ME client), and in return get access to mobile-tailored reports, like line charts with trend analysis.
You can read more about how the National Malaria Control Center in Zambia is using DHIS 2 to collect critical data from facilities and community health workers here.
Over the last year DHIS 2 has gained a lot of interest in Latin America, and in February the first Latin American DHIS 2 Academy was hosted in Colombia. Right now several countries in the region are planning DHIS 2 implementations.
The Caribbean Epidemiological Centre, covering over 20 states, implemented DHIS 2 in early 2012.
About the same time, a workshop was held in Oslo together with a research network based in Latin America and Spain called EHAS, to explore possibilities of implementation research throughout the region. Following this workshop, pilot studies were conducted in Colombia, Mexico, and Paraguay, by researchers and students affiliated with EHAS.
The first implementation of DHIS 2 in Latin America started later that year in Cauca province, Colombia, where both the local university and the secretary of health are involved.
Due to wide interest, the first edition of the DHIS 2 Academy in Spanish were held in Cauca in 2013, with participants from several of the Latin American countries and regional health organizations.
At the time of the Academy, and as DHIS 2 was rolled out as the provincial HMIS in Cauca, there are plans for implementation in other provinces as well as the federal level in Colombia. Read more about the Cauca implementation at PAHO. Chiapas region of Mexico has made a decision to use DHIS 2, as has a national level health program in Paraguay. Communication about implementation is going on also with Ecuador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Cuba. DHIS 2, the website DHIS 2.org, and all documentation has been translated to Spanish.

MIKE Usherwood (Letters, January 16) suggests I am "a little confused on the subject of aircraft landings".
Since learning to fly in 1942, I have completed several thousand hours as a pilot and carried out several hundred landings, the last just over two years ago.
I am familiar with the quoted facetious definition of a landing and the variations thereon, but do not see its relevance here.
My letter of January 14 simply suggested that the incident reported was a belly landing rather than a crash; Mike Usherwood "seems to be a little confused".

Taylor Swift has a new punk do and wears it quite fittingly on the set of her music video for 'I Knew You Were Trouble' filmed with Reeve Carney.
Country-pop star Taylor Swift decides to go bolder and edgier with her look for her new music video "I Knew You Were Trouble". Straight from her American Music Awards performance on November 18, the 22-year-old singer headed on to the set of her video shoot and dropped her gorgeous blonde locks for a tousled, pink punk rock do as she got cozy with video co-star and Broadway musical actor, Reeve Carney.
Swift paired up her new and shorter pink hair with cut-off denim shorts and a loose, long-sleeved top before finally putting on a leather jacket on her shoulders. The grunge look replaced the "Red" artist's usual sparkly and polished dresses and very clean, almost princess-like fashion style.
The drastic style change seemed only appropriate for the new single, which also has a dubstep-inspired sound and veers away from Swift's easy, country-cutie songs that everyone is familiar with. The bolder image also matched her co-star Reeve Carney's rock 'n' roll getup and made their up close and personal scenes even more interesting.
"Thank you so much for the AMA! You're unreal," Swift wrote on her Twitter account that night. "I went straight from the awards to a night video shoot. Long day but so worth it," she added.
"I Knew You Were Trouble" is the next track released from Swift's million-selling fourth studio album titled "Red".

EXCLUSIVE: AMC's foray into sci-fi is being put on hold. The cable network has passed on drama pilot Line Of Sight, from Brotherhood creator Blake Masters. Co-produced by Fox TV Studios and AMC Studios, it centered on Lewis Bernt (David Morrissey), a National Transportation Safety Board investigator who survives a mysterious plane crash, bringing him on an emotionally disorienting quest to discover the accident's cause. Line Of Sight, which emerged out of AMC's 2013 annual script showcase, was the first sci-fi project to get a green light at AMC. It co-starred Sarah Clarke, Kai Lennox, Olafur Darri Olafsson, Omar Metwally, Samantha Mathis and Chinasa Ogbuagu. FtvS plans to shop the pilot elsewhere. AMC has two other pilots in the works — Knifeman, set in 18th century London, and the post-apocalyptic Galyntine — as well as straight-to series Breaking Bad spinoff Better Call Saul and a companion Walking Dead series eyed for 2015.
AMC Sci-Fi Pilot 'Line Of Sight' Not Moving Forward
13 Comments
That's a shame. I read this script and thought it was intriguing. And I heard the final cut of the pilot was very strong and tested well. Guessing AMC is a little gun shy after Low Winter Sun and The Killing. Hopefully another network will scoop this up.
Truly was my favorite script out there! I hope someone else picks it up. Such a cool project and cast. Shame to let it go…
Audiences have been burned by mystery-based series that either go nowhere, lead to a dopey resolution or get cancelled long before the mystery is solved. I can think of another one that involved a mysterious plane crash whose craptastic ending still leaves a bitter taste.
'AMC has two other pilots in the works […]'. And Preacher, right?
AMC can't get out of their own way…
Was really looking forward to this.
I think Sundance TV should grab it, but it is an AMC Network so if the mothership passed, would it be possible for Sundance to pick it up?
Probably will land on FX.
Preacher is officially still in script mode, unofficially in pilot mode.
Shame…..I really hope another network picks this up. Could Netflix be an option?
They could've ordered it as a mini-series so audiences know they would get some resolution. Could've done well for 4-8 weeks. The pilot was already paid for, I'm sure it would make money and then they could've sold it to Netflix.
Who said it is sci-fi? Impossible to determine by its description!!
This is such an incredible disappointment. I was really looking forward to this show. The article fails to include Darren Pettie as one of the costars who appeared as Lee Garner Jr. in AMC's Mad Men. I truly hope another network picks up the show and demonstrates to AMC what a huge mistake they made passing up such a great story.
Ugh this is too bad. I love David Morrissey.

Suspect arrested in Fineview homicide
Pittsburgh police arrested a Fineview man in the fatal stabbing of his girlfriend's son in the Allegheny Dwellings apartments on Sunday, authorities said.
Investigators earlier identified Michael Monroe, 43, as a suspect in the death of Dereck Frye, 22, about 5:45 a.m. in the 1700 block of Belleau Drive in Fineview.
Officers spotted Monroe's 2007 Chevy Impala on Mt. Oliver Street before taking him into custody.
According to the warrant for his arrest, Monroe had been dating Frye's mother for eight months and began physically abusing her in the past three months.
She called him at 4 a.m. Sunday to ask where he was and when he was coming home, police said. Monroe argued with and assaulted her in their apartment, then left their bedroom.
When he returned a few minutes later, he threatened her with a bloody butcher knife. She fled and saw her son leaning against the door of a second-floor apartment, unresponsive. Detectives recovered the knife inside the apartment, according to a statement accompanying the warrant.
Monroe is charged with homicide, assault and making terroristic threats, and was being held in the Allegheny County Jail on Sunday night, public safety spokeswoman Sonya Toler said.
Monroe pleaded guilty to fleeing and eluding police in October and was sentenced to 23 days' time served. He pleaded guilty to simple assault in July 2013.

During a trip to Mexico City in the spring of 2013 Caviar20 acquired a select group of mid-century accessories.
The response to these pieces was incredibly strong and nearly the entire selection was sold by mid-summer.
Our clients, across the continent responded enthusiastically to this trove of chic lighting and accessories.
While we normally prefer untouched patinas, we decided to have this charming "Crescent" candelabra professionally polished.
We were quite astonished to receive it back with a lovely gleam and an almost white gold coloring.
The form and function is still versatile and fantastic; you can place the the two crescents together to create an illuminated circular centerpiece or place each half on the opposite side of a mantle.
Whether you include candles, or keep the crescents as decorative and sculptural table-top pieces they will enhance your home this holiday season...and all year round.
(A big gracias to our favorite people in Mexico City: Christian, Karina and Beatriz)

This amazingly fast knit is perfect for the whole family! Koala is knit in the round and then grafted, which creates the ear-like top. If you know how to knit, purl, increase and decrease stitches and graft, this super bulky hat is the perfect choice for you!
Yarn & Yardage: Malabrigo Rasta (super bulky) in approximately 70-90 yards
Gauge & Needle Size: 5 stitches and 8 rows to 2 inches on 8 mm (US 11) circular needles, 16 inches long or double pointed needles (or size needed to obtain gauge). The gauge on this hat is intentionally a little dense to help the fabric stand up.
Additional Notions: 2 stitch markers, darning needle
Sizes: Child (Adult S, Adult L) or approx. head circumference of 18 (20, 22) inches
Stitches/Abbreviations/Skills Used:
K2tog—knit two stitches together
KFB—knit into the front and the back of the stitch
CO—cast on
BO—bind off
PM—place marker
Graft/kitchener—using your preferred technique
Alternately, you could use a three-needle bind off if you prefer this method to grafting.
In addition, I offer the opportunity for work at home moms to hand knit and sell up to 100 garments from this pattern for a nominal fee. Please contact me for details.
