I was at a Hindu event, it was a religious event. People were there lining up, and everyone was receiving a clear plastic bag that contained clothing or a robe and it was white. I was in the line, and my turn to get the bag with the clothing inside was coming up. Then I saw this woman who was in high school with me and was my friend, sitting with a much older woman who apparently was her mother. They both looked at me, their faces blank, their expressions somewhere between questioning and waiting for something. I was distracted by them and asked them if they were alright, but they wouldn't speak. By the time I turned around I had lost my turn and they had ran out of bags to give out. I became very worried and sad that I wouldn't be able to get in and would miss the event. I looked at a door to my left were a woman was standing, looking in my direction. She was dressed in red and it seemed like she was showing me her red clothes, as if telling me that red was what I should wear or something along those lines.
Additional Comments:
Three months after I had this dream, my high school friend who appeared in this dream died.

Free and cheap things to do this week
Got relatives in town in need of amusements? With so many holiday events, we separated that list out here. But if you've had your fill of tinsel and elves, here's more free and cheap diversions that are family friendly.
Assume the joystick position! The Renown Boutique will host a Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix Tournament on Sunday. The event at 1501 E Ninth Ave. in Ybor City, starts at 3 p.m. and is sponsored by Triumvir and Capcom; this one of only four boutiques nationwide selected to participate.

Ray Negron, a sports executive with the New York Yankees, on Saturday will sign copies of his latest children's book, "The Greatest Story Never Told: The Babe and Jackie" at DD Collectables, a shop at the downtown St. Petersburg Pier, 800 Second Ave. NE. Legend has it that Negron was caught as a teenager in the 1970s spraying graffiti on the side of Yankee Stadium, and was put to work by George Steinbrenner. Negron became the Yankees' batboy and rose through the ranks to become a consultant to Steinbrenner and Spalding's head of community relations, spearheading efforts to bring sports equipment to underprivileged kids. The book is a story inspired by real events related to Negron by Babe Ruth's granddaughter. He will be at the store from noon to 3 p.m. Saturday. Phone: (727) 822-2206.

A quick look at today's health news
Syracuse, N.Y. -- Now that Ray Lewis has capped off his 17-year NFL career with another Super Bowl victory, one major health question about the Baltimore Ravens linebacker remains unanswered:
Does deer antler spray, a product Lewis may have used to recover from torn triceps, work? Manufacturers claim the product is made from the velvet-like tissue that covers the antlers of male deer, but there's little scientific evidence that it works.
Lewis has denied using the product, which is squirted into the mouth and contains insulin-like growth factor 1 or IGF-1. That substance is similar in structure to the hormone insulin and has muscle- and tissue-building effects in adults.
Endocrinologists say it's unlikely someone could consume enough IGF-1 from an oral spray to improve their athletic performance.
Job cuts possible at Upstate University Hospital. Dr. John McCabe, the hospital's CEO, writes in his blog that a proposed $9 million cut in state funding combined with payment reductions by health insurers could force the hospital to trim its work force and some of programs. The proposed $9 million cut in state funding is part of Gov. Andrew Cuomo's proposed budget.
Mental health advocates mad at Cuomo. They say a proposal in the budget would strip doctors of the ability to prescribe antipsychotic drugs to Medicaid patients.
Red wine won't ward off cancer Today is World Cancer Day. Don't fool yourself into thinking drinking a glass of red wine daily will protect you from cancer. That's one of seven cancer prevention myths the American Institute for Cancer Research debunks on its website.
Beware of flu scammers Even though the flu is waning, there are plenty of scammers out there trying to sell bogus products to treat the virus. The FDA is warning consumers to steer clear of fraudulent flu products found online and in retail stores.

|A Post Market Surveillance Validation to Evaluate the Effectiveness of the MaxAn Anterior Cervical Plate
|Brief Summary
|This study is being performed to document the outcomes of subjects using our MaxAn Anterior Cervical Plate and assess them for Adjacent level Disease. All subjects will be followed for 2 years.
|Detailed Description
|The purpose of this Post Market Surveillance Validation is to document the performance and clinical outcomes of the MaxAn® Anterior Cervical Plate System. Dr. Park, et.al conducted a retrospective review and found a positive association between adjacent-level ossification following anterior cervical plate procedures and the plate-to-disc distance. 1 They concluded that when the anterior cervical plates were placed at least 5mm away from the adjacent disc spaces, there was a decrease in the likelihood of moderate-to-severe adjacent-level ossification. The design of the MaxAn Anterior Cervical Plate and accompanying technique allows this type of plate placement; therefore we will be looking at the radiographic outcomes of these subjects and comparing them to the retrospective chart review conducted by Dr. Park using the MaxAn Technique allows you to achieve plate placement of 5mm from the supraadjacent level which will help minimize the risk of adjacent level ossification.

I had a miscarriage on March 4th, so I'm not sure when i ovulated, but I took a pregnancy test 2 mornings ago, and i thought i saw a reaaally faint line, but i didn't see it until after a few hours. So i thought it might be an evap line. I took one yesterday morning and within the time limit, i definitely saw a faint line, that was pinkish! Yesterday night i started spotting. Which i guess is implantation bleeding? My question is, should a test show darker after implantation bleeding? If i take one tomorrow morning, should it be darker, or is it okay to be faint again?

A few weeks ago I had a conversation with a good friend of ours named Kenny at a soup kitchen. Kenny is probably in his mid-60s. He's a military veteran who grew up in Norwich, Conn.
When we first met him, he told us there are two things he does not discuss with people—religion and politics. A few days after that, we got to hang out and chat with Kenny a little bit more. We were just making simple casual conversation. He asked what we had been up to the day before, and that opened a huge door.
Zach began to tell him we were at our weekly Bible study and were studying the book of Romans. Kenny said: "Romans? What's that?"
I explained it is a book in the New Testament. He looked surprised. "New Testament?" he asked.
"Yes," I said. "There's an Old and New Testament (in the Bible) with 66 books total."
Kenny still had a puzzled look on his face. I told him Romans is found right after the books called the Gospels, which is where the story of Jesus is told. We began to tell Kenny the good news and what that meant. Kenny told us that he grew up Catholic but never really paid much attention to what they had to say. He was so interested.
"I never talk about this stuff. Now I can't stop talking about it," he said.
It really just showed me that some people really just don't even know, and it reminded me of Romans 10:14-15.
A few days ago, Kenny said he visited a church. After he left, he said, he had so much joy and just felt so good. He said, "Not everything was going my way that day, but it was OK, and I haven't felt like that in a long time."
Kenny also said there was a certain point in that service when he felt uncomfortable, so he had not returned. I invited him to come to Cornerstone where I am serving. He said he would.
We'll just have to wait and see.
Jermaca Brown, a student at East Texas Baptist University, is serving with Go Now Missions at Cornerstone International Church in Connecticut.

I don't know if I can come up with anything worse than that ham, mustard, cheese and banana hellishness you made, but for this awesome prize package, I will most definitely try. 🙂
18 Responses to Mid-Century Menu Recipe Contest – Send Us The Worst Mid-Century Recipe!
Ooh! I'm in! You two are brave…and I love it! I'm going to search my recipes for something truly shudder-worthy.
Ah, yes! This contest is a meant-to-be. It tugs at the most bizarre of my heart strings. Can't wait to see the submissions.
But……can anything really beat Perfection Salad? (I'm afraid something can, and Ruth and Tom will have to eat it.) Stock up on Pepto, now!
I forgot to ask – are there any ingredients that you refuse to cook with?
Well, this isn't a recipe, but it is the strangest meal I've ever eaten. It was served to me when I was an exchange student in Denmark. Here goes:
pickled herring topped w/ chopped raw apple and one raw egg. Served in a dessert glass.
Glad you guys are excited. I am super-pumped about this!
Kristen – Yes, that one was particularly disgusting. The bar has been set pretty high! 🙂
Annie – Perfection Salad scares the hell out of me. That is one I have been meaning to try but haven't gotten the guts to. Yet.
Kelly – No ingredient is forbidden. The only thing is that I won't feed Tom anything raw that needs to be cooked. Otherwise, everything is fair game. I might not be able to stomach it, but Tom will eat almost anything. (Remember the chocolate-liver shake?)
KDA – Good Lord!! Did you eat it??? Gross!
That Danish meal you (?) ate sounds like a version of Sillsallad which is pickled herring, shredded apple, beets topped with other unmentionalbes. I've actually been tempted to make it.
While in the pickled herring mood, (if there is such a thing), I can certify that pickled herring topped with blue cheese sitting upon a Wheat Thin cracker was truly a Mid Mod appetizer…..my parents served it with drinks in the late 1950's and I loved it the herring and cheese combination. Stange, but true. This might even qualify as a contest entry!!
Hi there! I'm the creator and adminstrator of Gee, That Food Looks Terrible! over on Flickr (http://www.flickr.com/groups/789063@N20/) and my obsession is horrible looking vintage food. I'd be happy to place a notice on the group page about your contest, if you'd like. I might've already nailed down my candidate for submission!
Consider it done! I'm going to spend some quality time with my recipes and find juuuuuust the right one for you!
Oooh, I have been coveting a Pyrex casserole dish in that pattern for so long now! I have a recipe in mind to submit, better get scanning it!
WONDERFUL! What a fantastic exciting idea! Oh this Pyrex dish sets my heart aflutter, that's got to be the prettiest casserole-hamper I have ever seen! 🙂 So beautiful!
What a shame I already told you about Cantaloupe-Pie! But I am not scared, my collection of cookery leaflets is brimming with deliciacies I am too scared to try!
Hope I get that wretched scanner to work…
Oh boy, I will dig through my books and see what I've got!!
I did eat it b/c I didn't want to insult the host. I actually like pickled herring, though not w/ raw egg!
Your manners are impeccable. I wonder how many of my own guests have eaten something truly terrible at our house just because they didn't want to hurt my feelings!!?? It is kinda hard to fork away soupy raw egg to get to the herring, I'm sure. I sincerely love pickled herring. Ruth, maybe one day you will share the love!
This will be one of the best posts ever when it's all put together. Thanks for the fun!!

Maybe you are a deaf or hard-of-hearing adult and are willing to volunteer to spend time with a deaf or hard-of-hearing student. Maybe you are the parent of a deaf or hard-of-hearing child. We have information here for you to learn more!
*We currently have deaf/hard-of-hearing matches located in the Dallas/Fort Worth areas but hope to expand into other areas as this program grows.
What is Big Brothers Big Sisters?
Big Brothers Big Sisters is an organization that matches children and teenagers with an adult mentor. We call the mentor a "Big Brother" or "Big Sister." We call our children and teenagers a "Little Brother" or "Little Sister."
Big Brother Big Sisters matches a mentor with a child with similar interests and personalities. After getting approval from the family, the match is made. The "Big" and the "Little" get together 2-3 times a month.
As they spend time together, they become friends. They share thoughts, feelings, and culture. Their time together will give the child new experiences and an adult friend to talk to.
Are you interested in becoming a volunteer mentor?
Are you a Deaf or Hard-of-Hearing Student?
Is your child deaf or hard-of-hearing?

To download the New Homebuyer's Guide as a pdf, click here.
When you buy a brand new home, you get the best of both worlds-all the traditional value you expect in a home, plus the advantages that only a newly built home can provide.
This Homebuying guide is here to make things easier for you by providing the information you need to make a wise homebuying decision. This section provides information to guide you through the entire homebuying process, from the moment you make the decision to buy your own home to the moment the movers carry the first box through the front door. It couldn't be easier!
Before you start searching for a home, you need to think about your needs both now and in the future. Here are some things to consider:
Try to buy a home that meets most of your needs for the next 5 to 10 years, or find a home that can grow and change with your needs.
Step 1
Choosing a Location that is Right for You
Even if the home you choose has everything you need, the location might not be appropriate. When deciding where to live, you should take the following things into consideration:
Step 2
Choosing the Right Home for You
New Home Benefits
Some New Home Types:
Single-family Detached
The most popular style and the most solid investment. It is a free-standing home which sits on its own lot thereby offering a greater degree of privacy.
A single-family home that is joined to another one by a common wall. It can offer many of the advantages of a single-family detached home and is usually less expensive to buy and maintain.
Two units — one above the other or side by side. The owner usually lives in one unit and rents the other.
Row House or Townhouse
One of several types of single-family homes joined by common walls. It offers less privacy than a single-family detached home but still provides a separate outdoor space. These homes can cost less to buy and maintain.
Link or Carriage Home
Houses joined by garages or carports which provide access to the front and back yards. Builders sometimes join basement walls so that link houses appear to be single-family homes on small lots. These houses can be less expensive than single-family detached homes.
Refers to a form of legal ownership as opposed to a style of construction. Condominiums can be high-rise residential buildings, townhouse complexes, individual houses and low-rise residential buildings. Condominiums are also known as stratas in British Columbia or syndicates of co-ownership in Quebec.
Step 3
The Final Steps
Closing Day
Closing day is the day when you finally achieve your goal — you take legal possession and finally get to call your new house your own. You are sure to feel great relief and satisfaction but remember that the homebuying process isn't over just yet. There are quite a few things that need to be done on closing day:
Hiring a Mover
It is now time to hire a mover. Friends or relatives may be able to recommend a professional moving company but don't forget to ask the mover for references. You will also want an estimate and outline of fees (flat rate or hourly charge, etc.). Once you've selected a mover, it is a good idea to have the representative come to your home to see what will be moved and revise the estimate if necessary.
During the move, you'll want to ensure that your belongings are insured. Your home or property insurance may cover goods in transit but call your broker or insurance company to be safe and to ask about the extent of coverage. Many moving companies offer additional insurance coverage. Be aware that professional movers are not responsible for items such as jewelry, currency or important papers. You will have to move these yourself.
If you decide to do your own packing, keep in mind that you will need the proper materials and that it could take up a lot of time.
The Big Day
On moving day, go through the house with the van supervisor and provide any special instructions. The supervisor will also make note of the condition of your goods on an inventory list. Go through the house with the supervisor to make sure the list is complete and accurate. Then, when the van arrives at your new home, mark off the items on the mover's list as they are unloaded. Remember that even if the movers unload and unpack boxes and remove packing materials, they will not put dishes or linens into cupboards.
Saying goodbye to one home and neighbourhood and discovering a new one can be very exciting. Just make sure it is not hectic as well. Plan ahead to make the transition as smooth as possible for everyone involved. That way, you can breathe easy and enjoy your new home without having to worry so much.

The End of Normal reads like fiction. Stephanie Madoff does a beautiful job vindicating her late husband, Mark Madoff. Her emotions are raw and honest, which makes this book very emotional and hard to put down. I have gained a lot of respect for Stephanie and I feel she has no reason to lie. Bernie Madoff not only stole from thousands of people, but he duped her own parents out of their savings as well. I'm sure that writing this book was not easy; she takes the reader into her very personal life and overwhelming loss. The love story she shared of her and Mark was beautiful, I'm just sad that she didn't have the happy ending that so many of us get.
As far as Andrew Madoff and Ruth Madoff, I don't believe they have any redeemable qualities. Stephanie's account of the way Andrew treated Mark after his first suicide attempt is horrifying. More so, the way he acted after Mark's death is worse. Ruth's unmovable devotion to the man that eventually took her son's life is disgusting. I commend Stephanie for being openly candid and I highly recommend this book.

FAA: NJ airport fire having ripple effect on US flights
EGG HARBOR TOWNSHIP, N.J. (AP) - A fire at a New Jersey airport technical center is having a ripple effect on air traffic across the country.
The Federal Aviation Administration says the fire at a building at Atlantic City International Airport has made some traffic flow systems unavailable.
The agency says those functions have been transferred to a backup system.
It's not clear how many airports have been affected or how many flights have been delayed.
The FAA says the fire didn't affect systems used to directly control air traffic.
The fire began around noon Friday in a building at the William J. Hughes Technical Center.
About 1,600 people were evacuated and no injuries were reported.
The FAA says an adjacent runway at the airport about 18 miles west of Atlantic City was temporarily shut down, but later reopened.

There is a tendency in SEO to go blazing after the most competitive "glamour keywords" in an attempt to get them ranking high in the SERPS. This is certainly not a fool's pursuit as there are benefits to ranking for such terms. However, more SEOs these days are waking up to the potential power of longtail search terms and some are even finding they give a much better ROI. So which should you be going after, the head or tail of the search term beast?
Top Generic Terms
The competiveness of top level terms within each niche varies. Trying to rank for "fishing equipment" for example, is likely to be a lot harder than trying to ranking for "tree surgery equipment". However, as the SERPS become more competitive each day, it can require a lot of time and effort to reach the first page in even the smallest markets. So should we really be investing our blood, sweat and tears in trying to rank a few measly keywords.
First of all, the most generic keywords tend have the highest search volumes. Therefore, if you can get into a good position in the SERPS, you're pretty much guaranteed to get some traffic from them. Also, by going after the top level terms and building links using these terms in the anchor text, you're likely to pull in a number of the longer-tail keywords at the same. For example, if you do a lot of work on the term "car insurance" and you see movement up the rankings, you're likely to see some boost for terms such as "car insurance quotes" or "buy car insurance". Additionally, ranking for top level terms often helps brand awareness and credibility. When most people see a site ranking highly in the SERPS for competitive terms, they are more likely to assume that site has quality and is trustworthy…if only they knew!
As mentioned earlier, trying to rank for competitive generic terms often requires a great deal of time and effort and can be a little like trying to climb a mountain without actually knowing how high it goes. Whilst SEOs can make informed guesses about just what it will take to move up the next slot in the SERPS, no one can really know for sure and so a term you are plugging away at for months might not even budge an inch. Also, by narrowing your focus on such specific terms, it is very easy to ignore a whole load of terms on the next level down that can also provide good traffic in their own rights. Lastly, the more generic (often single-word) terms do not convert as well as longer-tail terms. Ignoring brand terms, this report shows that conversion rate increases with the number of words in the search query, all the way up to four-word phrases.
Tomorrow we'll post part II of this this article.

Bethany Hamilton: back on snow
It's 9 a.m. Friday morning and Jeremy Jones is waiting patiently in front of the funitel at Squaw Valley. Today, Jones will share a few of his snowboard secrets with pro surfer Bethany Hamilton, who is in town for a speaking engagement with the Squaw Valley Institute. Except Jones' statuesque blonde date is late.
This isn't the first time Jones has had to wait for one of his beach cousins in the mountains. In the past, he's also led the way on the slopes for surf pros like Laird Hamilton, Andy Irons, Shane Dorian, Ian Walsh and Joel Parkinson.
"I love getting surfers in the mountains," says Jones. "When I'm snowboarding, I always pretend to do it the way I would if I surfed. When you line up a nice wave in the mountain, it's very similar to surfing."
Crashing his date are fellow Tahoe locals and pros Tom Burt and Iris Lazzareschi. Today's agenda? Get on the hill, make some turns and forge new friendships.
It's no wonder Hamilton is running a bit behind, though. While snowboarding shares many similarities to surfing, making a quick dash to the beach with a bikini and board isn't one of them. In snowboarding, there are mittens, helmets, jackets and long underwear to find, as well as a trip to the rental shop. And then, after all that, you have to locate the lift.
"I'm so sorry!" Hamilton exclaims when she arrives. But no one is worried. Soon, she's ready to ride -- for the first time in three years.
On the funitel, Jones and Hamilton, who have just met for the first time, hit it off immediately. Jones shows his softer side when he mentions he watched "Soul Surfer" -- the film about Hamilton's 2004 shark attack, during which she lost her left arm -- the night before with his kids, and that he cried. And then, of course, the conversation changes to surfing. Only a few months ago, Hamilton was the first and only woman invited to compete in the Rip Curl Cup Padang Padang Invitational in Indonesia.
When asked which is more intimidating -- speaking in front of a crowd of 500-plus people or riding tubes at Padang -- Hamilton doesn't hesitate to answer. "Padang for sure," she sighs. "I'm actually OK in front of crowds. I like speaking because you are reaching a lot of people. By encouraging other people, it encourages me."
Jones concurs: "I've surfed at Padang before, and it's scary. I'd way rather speak in front of hundreds of people."
At the top of the mountain, Hamilton and Jones strap on their boards and Jones offers Hamilton some simple advice: "With snowboarding, you have to weight your front foot a lot more than you do with surfing. Other than that, it's just hours on the hill."
And then Hamilton is off, her ponytail blowing in the wind as she arcs turns down the hill. In no time at all, she shows that for this girl, one board is as good as another.

I understand you're from Romania, but unless you can exhibit adequate English syntax, you're better off insulting Americans in your native language, because your comments there are just crudely-written garbage.
You love your country - good for you. Unfortunately, you expect the whole world to love your country. I have a friend from Bucharest, and while he says there's things he misses, he pointed out that there's a good reason he left Romania and came here. It may be for you, but it's not for everyone, and the same can be said about any country - America included.
As people have already pointed out, South Park makes fun of everyone. There's no reason you or your people should be excluded.

Re: *403* Quintuplets
In the year 2000, there was a giant media circus surrounding an international custody dispute over a 6 year old Cuban refugee named Elian Gonzales. One side wanted the boy to stay with relatives in America; the other demanded he be returned to his estranged, biological father in Cuba. What resulted was a lot of smack-talking about Cuba by people who really have no clue what it's like there.
So to parody this then-current event, South Park substituted Elian Gonzales with the quints and Cuba with Romania. It was chosen at random, because most Americans are clueless about what it's actually like. (At the time, most Americans would assume all those former Soviet-bloc nations were still shitholes without really knowing.) All the shitty things said about Romania were based on the shitty things said about Cuba during the Elian Gonzales dispute.
You random Romanians that swing by every so often lack the historical context to see this episode as it was intended. All you see is a bunch of pot shots at your country and that's not the whole story.

As social media is taking over as the way to network, it's important to get all your ducks in a row. While some choose Twitter and Facebook as their essential means of online networking, others have opted for the LinkedIn route. I sometimes wonder if this is a choice based on generation. Although almost everyone within my age bracket, and above are on LinkedIn, I've found it's the older crowd that uses it far more frequently. It just seems to have a more businesslike feel to it than Facebook. Perhaps we can blame Mark Zuckerberg's youth on this.
BNet's Jeff Haden gave some insight on how one should go about finding the right LinkedIn group so as to network to the maximum capacity.

To do Monday!
Since Hubby is a Vet, we'll be doing something related to Veterans Day for sure....just haven't figured out what yet, since my trip I was planning to Arlington was cancled... Otherwise, school as usual.
I need to clean out the refrigerator. Our other one died on us, since we had no extra money to buy another one. My husband insisted that we rent to own one big mistake. We're sending it back and buying a semi used one, from someone we know.
I need to wipe the washing machine down and send it back, because it's a rent to own also our other one died on us also. I can go to the laundry mat and wash a few loads a week for less. We're on a budget and we're eliminating things we don't need.
I need to do some cleaning in the kitchen, bathroom, living room, and the school/computer area.
I need to make sure all of our laundry is washed up for the week, before we send the washing machine back.
I need to look through all our things and make a keep, throw away, and donate pile. We're closing on our house on December 20. I don't want to wait until the last minute to get rid of stuff.
Well, we are having our hardwood floors refinished today yay and nay! They were supposed to be here 40 min ago. It's going to be interesting workign around DS' nap and trying to get lunch etc when every door out of the house means i have to walk on the hardwoods.
So...I had DD do some reading eggs and Ooka Island this am. We did some work last night to get ahead. Was hoping to get a little more reading and math in today. We'll see.
Getting things ready for the coming week. Relaxing and spending time with the family.
We have book club at the library
clean the house
Help my youngest get over a cold
Dh and the girls are putting up our Christmas Tree.
We went to a Veterans day celebration and then ate at Apple Bee's. We are going to do school later unless my husband does not go to school then we will attend another one in the neighboring town.

Como win stuns AS Roma
ROME, Jan 25 (Reuters) - AS Roma's disappointing season touched new depths on Saturday when they were beaten 2-0 by Serie A whipping boys Como.
Roma's 6-3 Italian Cup win over Vicenza midweek raised expectations that they would easily dispatch Como, who were without a league victory all season.
But second-from-bottom Como keeper Alex Brunner performed a series of stunning saves to keep his side in the game before two late strikes clinched a shock win.
Roma striker Marco Delvecchio, Vincenzo Montella and Francesco Totti all went close in the first 20 minutes, before Brunner pulled off the best save of the match in the 45th minute, tipping Totti's shot round the post with an outstretched leg.
It was the same story in the second half as Brunner was forced to parry a 57th-minute point blank shot by Totti.
Como's luck, however, changed in the 80th minute when Roma defender Traianos Dellas was sent off for a second bookable offence.
But two minutes later Como were ahead after midfielder Vedin Music rifled a diagonal pass into the net from the edge of the area.
Roma were broken and striker Benito Carbone doubled the home side's advantage in injury time, finishing off a counter-attack with a neat left-footed shot that left keeper Francesco Antonioli stranded.
After the match Como coach Eugenio Fascetti told reporters Roma had wasted their chances.
'Roma let us off the hook in the first half and paid the price at the end,' he said. 'We didn't play well in the first part of the match. We gave up too much space, but they didn't profit from it.
'From the point of view of the league table - and from a psychological angle - these are three very important points.'
In an earlier match, Atalanta hauled themselves further out of the Serie A relegation zone after goals by midfielders Ousmane Dabo and Alex Pinardi gave them a 2-0 away win over Modena.
The result followed Atalanta's 2-1 defeat of AS Roma a week ago and suggested that the Bergamo-based team are belatedly finding the form that took them to a ninth place finish last season.
At first it seemed the visitors would be in for a tough night, as Modena surged forward and a 10th-minute shot by striker Diomansy Kamara flew narrowly over the bar.
But after half an hour Atalanta began to press and in the 35th minute took the lead when a mistimed clearance by Modena's Giuseppe Colucci fell to Dabo, whose powerful shot from outside the area beat keeper Marco Ballotta.
Modena coach Gianni De Biasi brought on Italian under-21 striker Giuseppe Sculli at the beginning of the second half to bolster his attack, but the closest his side came to scoring was midfielder Omar Milanetto's 52nd-minute free kick, which struck the post.
The match see-sawed, but Atalanta wrapped it up with five minutes remaining. Midfielder Alex Pinardi held off two defenders, waited for Ballotta to come off his line and beat him with a right-footed shot.

Rayman 2: The Great Escape
Review by FRogers
"Rayman 2 is an original and good game."
Rayman 2 is a great game. With 18 levels and a few secrets, it makes good use of it's 256 Megabits. It's a little on the easy side, but it's still fun. It's story is a little strange, but if you hate it, you can ignore it. It's also original. Most games for the N64 and other systems are similar to Mario 64, where you go around in a big area looking for big items (stars) and small items (coins), with one entry point. However, Rayman 2 is not like that. Instead, it's like the old side-scroller games: get from point A to point B, collecting items along the way. It's got all of the usual videogame levels: a water level, a lava level, a swamp level, a cave level, a grass level...
It's basically a good sidescroller game, in 3-D (not 2 1/2-D like Yoshi's story). You slide, grapple, fly, deliver medicine, ride on the back of a missle shell, and more. The basic thing you have to do is rescue the 4 masks of Polokus so Polokus can destroy the robo-pirates (led by Razorbeard) that have taken over your land. Plus, it's got expansion pack compatibility, and 5 languages so if you're billingual you can play the game in your favorite language. Although I said it's pretty easy, getting 100% isn't You've got to collect 999 lums (the collectable item of the game) and beat the game if you want to say you've really beat the game, and that's hard. The game is pretty straightforward, but you'll need to do a bit of back-tracking. Also, If you don't have a Controller Pak, you'll up your electric bill in no time: you need a Controller Pak to save. The game's conroller pak note doesn't take up many pages, though. It also saves your initials on your saveslot, similar to Diddy Kong Racing. The thing that makes this game easy is that you have unlimited lives, similar to Donkey Kong 64. Plus, when you die you return to a checkpoint, not the beginning of the level. However, there's a lot of puzzle elements. Basically, Rayman 2 is a great game. If you like action/adventure games, this game is a must. However, if you like only hard games, or you don't like action/adventure games. don't waste your hard-earned $49.95.

Pebble Hunting
Matt Harvey Pitching to Pitchers
PECOTA ran a bit more than 1,000 hitter projections for 2013. The worst line it forecast was a .177/.205/.245 line from Elier Hernandez, an 18-year-old who had just hit .208/.256/.280 in short-season ball. The next worst was for Gabriel Rosa, who had just hit .245/.314/.406 in the Arizona instructional league, and who was forecast to hit .171/.200/.251. The average pitcher this year has hit .133/.162/.180, well below either player's forecast.
So let's take PECOTA's word for it, and accept that major-league pitchers are, generally, worse hitters than every hitter in the majors, and every hitter in the high minors, and if not every hitter in the low minors then most. Let's say they're worse than every hitter in Nippon Professional Baseball, and every hitter in the Mexican League. Let's further assume that they're worse than a large number of hitters who have washed out of the minors because, through positional inflexibility and unsexy ages and generally limited upside and utility, are no longer allowed to take up organizational space—all the Eddy Martinez Esteves out there. How many is that? Around 500 big leaguers, around 3,000 minor leaguers, no fewer than 1,000 players scattered around foreign professional leagues, certainly dozens if not more college kids, a handful of extremely advanced high schoolers, and the hundreds, perhaps thousands, of Eddy Martinez-Esteve desaparicidos. Let's say that your average pitcher is the 10,000th-best hitter in the world.
And then let's say that Matt Harvey is, oh, the fifth-best pitcher in the world. Imagine a movie by the fifth-best director going up in a film festival against a movie by the 10,000th-best director. Imagine the fifth-best jazz trumpeter in the world going up against the 10,000th-best jazz trumpeter in a jazz trumpet off. Imagine, for goodness sakes, the fifth-best pass rusher in the world charging against the 10,000th-best offensive lineman.
So that's how you get this line, which is what pitchers have done against Matt Harvey this year:
On Sunday, John Lannan went 0-for-2 against Harvey, with a strikeout. That's an improvement; last year, Lannan struck out both times he faced Harvey, on six pitches. Today, by contrast, Lannan can feel good because he put the ball in play once. That's what pitchers get to feel good about when they face Harvey. Small victories, with small rewards. Think about facing Matt Harvey as a carnival game, with bigger and better prizes for smaller and less embarrassing failures.

Relevant supplemental data:
So it's not much, oh goodness is it ever not much, but Lilly does manage, on an 0-2 count, to tip a high fastball foul. For that, he has a better story about his baseball career than you ever will.
Prize for Touching Baseball:

Tier 2 Victory: Made Him Throw a Ball
or, reduced to its relevant trail markers:
But Fernandez actually ended up having what you'd call a heck of an at-bat, fouling off such pitches as
and ultimately making Harvey throw eight pitches to earn the strikeout. Aside from that plate appearance, Harvey has never had to throw more than six pitches to an opposing pitcher. (Fernandez, later in the same game, made him throw six.)
Prize For Making Him Throw a Ball:
Stuffed bear to stare sadly at you while you undress.
Tier 3 Victory: Successful Sacrifice Bunt
you wouldn't need to see any stats to know you're drafting the guy on the right. This is a face mismatch like you see in eighth grade P.E., where one kid can grow a full neck beard and the other prays every night for a hair in his pits. And yet Slowey gets the job done,
which is not nearly as easy to do as you'd think (or wouldn't think, probably). There have been eight bunting situations involving pitchers against Harvey this year. Two pitchers, including Slowey, have laid it down, and six have failed. Roy Halladay, in particular, looked uncomfortable, the awkwardness of which led me to create this Roy Halladay Dance Party GIF which, really, don't click on, okay?
Prize For Successful Sacrifice Bunt:
Dozen eggs, no carton.
Tier 4 Victory: Generated Web Gem
There was a very brief cut to Gomez running back to the dugout so we could see his reaction, but it was a very brief cut and his reaction wasn't much of one at all. Had a real hitter hit that ball, there'd be kicking of dirt, throwing up of hands, exasperated smiles, perhaps a friendly nod out to center field. But Gomez isn't supposed to get a hit there, so he (and we) know better than to focus on how close it was, just like you know that getting two matching numbers on a Match 3 Lotto scratcher isn't really any closer to winning than getting no matching numbers at all.
Prize For Generating Web Gem:
Los Lonely Boys bookmark from your library.
Tier 5 Victory: The Only Base Hit Harvey Has Ever Allowed to a Pitcher
"Nice piece of hitting there."—people paid to say things.
No pitchers got a hit off Harvey last year, either, so that's the only thing between Harvey and the hiddenest hidden no-hitter ever. What's impressive is how closely Strasburg mirrors Bryce Harper's swing against Harvey's fastball, as chronicled here earlier in the year:
Later in the game, Strasburg grounded out to shortstop, the most-pulled ball that any pitcher has hit (fair) against Harvey this year. Harvey has thrown three pitches to Strasburg: Double, groundout, ball. Strasburg is the only pitcher Harvey can't throw pitches right past.
Prize for Being The Only Pitcher Harvey Can't Throw Pitches Right Past:

Shouldn't Strasburg get the grand prize in this carnival game--i.e. the Really Big Stuffed Animal?

As for making fun of older women liking young men - I laugh. 'Cause their kids. Wait till their 30 or 40 or 50 and they realize getting older doesn't mean you stop being attracted to younger men.
That's youth talking.Jujuhttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-2416792064076825073.post-61046710939457285182009-07-23T17:33:06.940+01:002009-07-23T17:33:06.940+01:00I'm over 30 and I adore twilight. Some Twimoms...I'm over 30 and I adore twilight. Some Twimoms are creepy (Any of the cast that's under age are off limits...period)

The teens are insane (Rob was right when he said their screaming sounds like arriving at the gates of hell) but that's the nature of the beast.

It's not wrong for grown women to fan Twilight...it's written by a 30 something mom for christ sake. It shouldn't be surprising that her peers would relate to it too.

Everyone needs to chill the hell out, they are just people and your creepy behavior (whether teen or adult) probably weirds them out!Tisaveeonehttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-2416792064076825073.post-44812076515237264562009-07-23T16:01:32.508+01:002009-07-23T16:01:32.508+01:00I would be mad with anyone cutting in line too, no...I would be mad with anyone cutting in line too, no matter what age they are!!!!

Now about holding spaces, I understand that a common courtesy is that if i.e. two people are standing in line together and one of them needs to go the washroom or get a coffee, etc. that person can leave, his/her friend can save his/her space and when that person returns the other people in line should acknowledge that he/she was in the line before.

However I don't agree with allowing to save spaces for a extended period of time for people that has never been in line. People who arrive early should go inside first. And if someone wants to camp out, well... good for them!! I don't understand why the girls complained about THAT. If they didn't like their place in the line they should have arrived earlier.

I have seen this TwiTweens/Teens vs. TwiMoms "feud" going on for some time now. I'm 32 but I'm not married nor a mom so I can't really identify completely with the moms. But I can't identify with the tweens/teens either. My opinion is that both sides have some valid points although we should generalize saying "all tweens/teens are this way or all moms are that way".

That said, I think some tweens/teens are annoying and don't behave properly, screaming too much and not respecting the actors's personal space (mostly Rob's). But I'm the first one to admit that some moms are creepy also behaving improperly for their age, especially towards actors (mostly male actors) that sometimes are young enough to be their children.

As a side note I have to say that I have noticed some tweens/teens (and again, this is not a generalization) resent the "moms" because they have more resources and more freedom at their disposal. Many "moms" (especially those who aren't moms! LOL) have jobs that allow them to afford good seats at conventions, travelling to Vancouver or Italy to go set hunting or purchasing more Twilight-related merchandise. Also because "moms" are adults they can do things like camping outside Hall H (:D LOL) while the parents of many tweens (especially) or teens wouldn't allow them to do something like that unsupervised (and they won't or can't go with their daughters/sons)

Sorry if I got carried away but this is an interesting subject.

Hugs and enjoy Comic Con!!!

I totally feel for these gals, who have lost shut-eye trying to get into Hall H. Doesn't seem fair to have people kind of cutting or saving spots for those who weren't willing to tough out the night, you know?

As for thong-talk. Yuckos. Age doesn't really make a difference in whether or not such behavior is appropriate. I am in the age-range to be a TwiMom, but I don't consider myself to be a TwiMom. I'm just a TwiFan.

I just wonder, what if the genders were reversed and you had some man speaking that way to a woman with such sexual innuendo?

What I'm trying to say is that I don't think 'age' should be the deciding factor on 'creepiness,' - - it should be 'behavior.'
I'm sorry, but it's weird for a 15, 20, 30, 40, or 50 year old to ask to have a 'thong' signed. Have some decorum, people!

And NO ONE should be able to save places in line. If you want to be in the front of the line, do the time, that's what I say.

Ridiculous. But not because of age at all - - it's ridiculous because holding spots for others isn't right to those who plan their time to wait it out. Maybe those in line WANTED to go see the Twilight showing, too - - but they waited in line, instead. Why should someone who went to the movie come and get in line in FRONT of them, after?

Dozens of relatives, friends and fellow Marines gathered last night for a "joyful celebration" of the life of Cpl. Julian Brennan of Brooklyn, who was killed last week in Afghanistan.
The 25-year-old hero – an actor who had appeared in off-Broadway plays – was always the "life of the party and wanted to see people happy," said a friend at the memorial.
Brennan's dad, Bill, a singer, performed an original work called "Forgiveness" to the mourners at the Picnic House in Prospect Park.
The gathering "was a joyful celebration of Julian's spirit," Brennan said afterward. "It's usually hard to sing during a time like this, but I felt Julian was with me saying, 'Come on, Dad, do it well.' "

Everybody on Board
End Users, Process Control Engineers, Integrators and Suppliers Are All Getting On the Sustainability Bandwagon With All Kinds of Green Applications. Here's How They Do It
"The boiler upgrades are helping us make better use of 'indigenous' waste fuels, such as blast furnace gas, BOS gas and coke-oven gas, which are byproducts of our manufacturing process," says Andrew Rees, manager of Tata Steel's upgrade project. "The improved controls are part of a comprehensive energy management project that's expected to reduce powerhouse energy consumption by 3% to 5% and help us achieve our vision of becoming energy self-sufficient."
To begin the Port Talbot upgrade, Emerson conducted a study to identify opportunities for improving powerhouse operations, and then designed and delivered the most appropriate integrated combustion-control, burner-management and energy-management solution. It included Emerson's SmartProcess Energy and SmartProcess Boiler optimization technologies, DeltaV digital automation system with model-predictive control, DeltaV SIS process safety system, Rosemount and Micro Motion measurement instruments, Fisher control valves, and Bettis and Hytork valve actuators.
In the past, the plant's boilers needed frequent attention, and had to use supplemental natural gas to compensate for varying energy content of waste fuels. Following the upgrade, operational stability was increased, and energy costs declined because more efficient use of waste fuels reduced the need for natural gas. Using more waste fuel to power the boilers instead of burning it in flares also helps reduce emissions.
Green Needs Control, Too
Naturally, after considering a few of the latest sustainability projects, it becomes clear they share a common thread with traditional process control—all are based on sensing physical properties, analyzing complex data and acting on the resulting decisions. For example, Center Ethanol Co. and its four-year-old plant in Sauget, Ill., near St. Louis, turns 19.2 million bushels of corn into 54 million gallons of ethanol, 172,000 tons of dry distiller grain and 1.5 million gallons of corn oil per year. To optimize and gain production efficiencies in its applications, Center's staff and the former Delta-T Corp. in Williamsburg, Va., installed Siemens Industry's Simatic PCS 7 process control system. The staff also built screens on PCS 7 outlining standard operating procedures for starting, stopping and shutting down equipment, and also introduced programming that instructs operators how to fix out-of-range process parameters. Faceplate and interlock screens enable operators to click on a symbol, such as a pump, drive, valve or PID loop, and quickly determine the status of the device and process interlocks. Operators also have a view of the entire plant from the control room and can drill down into process areas or devices.
"If a process goes out of parameter, an alarm alerts technicians in a central control room with four operator stations," explains Tim Kostecki, Center's operations manager. "The operators can check the equipment, or cross-check what it's saying against what the lab is telling us. This has improved temperature, pressure and many other control variables."
Center also has added programming to better control its enzyme and chemical additions, as well as front-end corn grinding and fermentation processes. "We're saving more money because we can optimize chemical additions to the process," explains Kostecki. "The new programming ensures that we start off with the right recipe for fermentation. When you control your front end and get your fermentation in a steady state, the whole plant runs more efficiently. If you're going up and down all the time—such as one fermentor is at 14% and another is at 13%—then it will swing around the distillation at the back end, so you can't get your fermentation to be the same ethanol concentration every time."
Kostecki also reports the trending capability of the plant's control system gives operators at least three months of historical data that can be loaded into an Excel spreadsheet, eliminating the need for time-consuming manual data entries.
"We use trending every day," says Kostecki. "We know if our system is running out of tank room. But rather than slowing down the plant, the guys in the control room can graphically track and manipulate tiny changes in tank levels. It also uses the trending capability to make sure dryer temperatures, pressures, flow rates and amps are at the right levels.
"When you're monitoring and logging data as part of an energy efficiency strategy, it's important to analyze power consumption data that you collect in context with other data related to that application," adds Ben Orchard, application engineer at Opto 22. "For example, if you're trying to reduce facility power consumption, you need to gather data on suspected large loads such as chillers. You then need to gather data that put that chiller load in context, such as the room temperature for rooms serviced by that chiller."
Multiplying Benefits
Of course, if operations can be optimized for greater sustainability in one application, then the next job is to do it at multiple sites. To monitor and alarm stack emissions, comply with legislated limits and avoid the possibility of required shutdowns, South Africa-based Eskom partnered with Bytes Systems Integration and Invensys Operations Management to optimize operations at Eskom's 13 coal-fired plants.
"Without treatment, we'd spew concentrations of 30,000 to 60,000 mg of ash per normal cubic meter (mg/Nm3) into the atmosphere," says Dr. Kristy Ross, senior consultant at Eskom. "However, by using abatement technology, such as electrostatic precipitators or fabric filter plants, more than 99% of ash is removed from the flue gas streams, providing a particulate emission concentration of usually less than 200 mg/Nm3."
