A Solution From Hell
Humanitarian warfare, clearly bad in principle, often looks good from the standpoint of a particular people at a particular moment, when they are threatened with death. And so the temperamental opponent of intervention can come to feel that while in general he opposes this kind of thing, well, in this case he guesses he supports it—and in that case too, and the next one. He can come to feel like somebody who has principles only for the sake of suspending them. In general, you reject humanitarian war—but have you ever met one you didn't initially like?
Google+'s stated purpose is to make "sharing on the web more like sharing in real life," which is true only if "in real life" is understood to mean "on the rest of the internet." Instead of occurring in our inbox, group videochats—called Hangouts—open in separate windows, like pop-up ads. Each face moves inside its own rectangle, forming together a mosaic of talking heads. What sadist would take cable news as a model for conversation? It's like building a hotel using the blueprints for a prison.
Lawrence Jackson
Christmas in Baltimore, 2009
A bright childhood friend, a boy with a mocking adolescent wit, a student at one of the venerable Catholic high schools for boys, had lost his life. Our families live next door to one another on the same block. We had the same childhood and high school friends. We suffered many of the same enemies. A week before, Chris had battled police officers and been slain. Because of my own relationship with the local police dating back twenty-five years, I believed immediately that he was the victim of trigger-happy whites with badges.

American Juggalo
Nobody assigned me to go to the Gathering of the Juggalos, and I couldn't have said why I was standing there in the buzzing heat at the entrance of Hogrock Campground, a hundred-plus acres of cleared land in the Shawnee National Forest just outside tiny Cave-In-Rock, Illinois. Next to me was a shirtless kid named Squee. I'd helped him carry a gunnysack down the steep declivity that connects the overflow parking to the campground. I'd said, grinning conspiratorially, "Let me guess: This shit's full of beers, right?" He'd said, "Fuck your beers, dude. This shit's full of Powerades. Gonna sell these shits."
Carla Blumenkranz
Captain Midnight
Lish drove into San Francisco on the rolling coastal highways, saw the Bay open up before him just as Kerouac described it, and entered the city, its "long bleak streets with trolley wires all shrouded in fog whiteness." It was 1959, and he was 26 years old, a grown man compared to his young hero Moriarty, and past the supposed age of adventure; his wife and young daughter were traveling with him. He was late to the party, too: Kerouac had moved to Orlando and the Beat scene was dissipating.
Helen DeWitt
Lightning Rods
After a while one of the contestants started to get a personality. She was a consecutive winner for twenty shows. She wore a pink jacket and immaculate pink lipstick and makeup, and she had dark hair in a hair-sprayed permanent. People looked at the heaving buttocks in the inset and they couldn't believe that someone that cool could possibly be getting the full-service 24-hour Revco from the rear. Then after she won the round the MC would say Let's just see that amazing performance again.
Mark Greif
Cavell as Educator
We know the real target of philosophy is life. Everyone feels it who has not been irreparably debauched by learning. Graduates who took one philosophy course in college will remember that etymologically it is philo-sophia, the love of wisdom, or love of truth. In most traditions, philosophy is not only the pursuit of truth, but also a discipline for managing suffering. Don't the limitation of pain and access to the truth go together, through ties obscure but sensible to all? If one sees the target, then, how to draw the bow? And from what tree's bough is the best arrow cut?
Yitzhak Laor
Six Poems
Don't die, soldier, hold the radiophone,
don your helmet, your flak jacket, surround
the village with a trench of crocodiles, starve
it out if need be, eat Mama's treats, shoot
sharp, keep your rifle clean, take care of the armored
Jeep, the bulldozer, the land, one day it will be
yours, little David, sweetling, don't die, please.
Alexander Borinsky
California Love Story
Back in 1999, queer theorist Michael Warner wrote that gays lack "the institutions for common memory and generational transmission around which straight culture is built. . . . And since the most painfully instructed generation has been decimated by death, the queer culture of the present faces more than the usual shortfall of memory." I'd hardly propose that we use the legal record as a makeshift repository of collective queer memory. But I'd hope that a gay community trying to remake the legal record wouldn't set aside that memory, either.
Siddhartha Deb
The Mouse
Kemal drank copiously, wandering from room to room, hearing snippets of conversation that blended into a vast, single sentence: "The world of government secrecy is in the tunnel in Switzerland that is used by sheep herders who must be driven by rational choice theory when they are studying the musical score that is written with lentils because they are the oldest beans in the world." He went back to the bar, where the crowd was most lively and the woman who had grown the ear on the mouse was dancing in the middle of the room. It was her party, and she was dressed as a fairy godmother scientist, wearing a lab coat but also waving a wand.
Richard Beck
On Pitchfork
Pitchfork's project—an ever evolving, uncontroversial portrait of contemporary tastes in popular music—addressed one problem surrounding music in the file-sharing era to the exclusion of all others. Faced with readers who wanted to know how to be fans in the internet age, Pitchfork's writers became the greatest, most pedantic fans of all, reconfiguring criticism as an exercise in perfect cultural consumption.
Kristin Dombek
On The Book of Mormon
The Book of Mormon teaches us what secularists don't get about what makes religion so awesome: it's like a musical you live in, and it can actually be more fun if it seems a little fake, if you have to work a little to believe. There tend to be so many gaps that the thrill of it is filling them in, making them fit. While to outsiders, religious people seem to believe despite the obvious manufacturedness of their religion, The Book of Mormon suggests that believers believe (at least in part) because of the pleasure of revoicing, adapting, and even inventing stories and then treating them as sacred.
Gideon Lewis-Kraus
On Javier Cercas
The three heroes of retreat were politically finished and personally broken, and as the bullets whizzed around the Cortes threatening the ungrateful democracy for which they had given up everything, they were the only ones who remained still, the only ones who risked their necks.

i´ve sent you an email please tell me the cost sosend an iphone unlocked to portugal.
excuse me mr iphonewiz..in case your glasses fail you..look for the Lumines PSP lot that i sold for $490 that was shipped to SPAIN...or please look at my feedback from people who actually bought iphones and already received them..sheesh..they don't even have all the details for my previous transactions months ago..
Besides Ebay is expensive.. it only serves as a viewpoint to see that i'm real and reliable..so lay off.. I'm happy to serve those customers that I can..
Hi swordsaint, do you still have 1.02 iphones on stock? thx! Where r u? (us, uk, etc)
tu ne répond plus a mes mails ?
Be very careful, this seller takes you money and gives you a shipping date, then randomly (Or I assume if someone gives him a better offer even after he agreed to sell to you), he will sheepishly e-mail you and say the order is canceled.
Then, IF and When he feels like getting to it, he refunds the money. This may tie up your funds for weeks at a time if you use Google Checkout or Paypal to pay.
Additionally it should be mentioned that the seller originally used an incorrect email and phone number on the GOogle invoices and is generally unprofessional.
In this case, the meek shall not inherit the earth.
My suggestion: Pay slightly more to get them from real businessmen and/or people with integrity in their dealings.
It is very sad to see such blatant lies being told in a public forum. I told this prospective buyer that I had several orders that were before him in the queue to be serviced.
I even encouraged this indivdual to not pay the invoices until I could confirm shipping availability of the items.
Despite those admonitions he paid them nevertheless and as soon as I recognised within 0ne(1) day that I could not fulfil the order within at least one(1) week I promptly (as in same day)refunded the invoices paid thus far.
Its unfortunate that he chose to spew dishonest statements without telling the whole and unbiased account of our dealings.. But then again.. I suppose that's life..
To everyone else...I do not have any more stock other than two 8GB 1.02 phones with more to come..
AS I receive stock I will inform everyone via this post.. Thank YOu
Gime me a msg when u are online later.. MSN
Need to Discuss the shipment if i order from u..
I just got 10 Brand New 8Gb iphone all week 37 or less. Ready to open and unlock for you first, then ship or I can ship them factory sealed and locked and you can unlock them yourself when you get them!
I am selling them as one lot of 10 or two lots of 5 depending on the response..
Again payment by paypal or google checkout! Check my feedback on Ebay!
ID: saint4vr
message me and i'll respond through there if you wish, or give me your Ebay ID and i'll message you.
$600 shipped to any destination worldwide.. 3 - 5 day shipping

For 25 years, top students in Oakland University's School of Business have been part of an exclusive club.
Beta Gamma Sigma is an international honor society for business students and scholars and the highest honor a business student can receive. The Oakland University chapter celebrates its silver anniversary this year coinciding with Beta Gamma Sigma's 100th year as an honor society. The organization, founded in 1913, serves business programs accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) International.
Beta Gamma Sigma, which encourages and honors academic achievements in the study of business and fosters professional excellence among its members, inducted its newest Oakland University members in April. Chosen by faculty members, students are invited into the society and recognized for their business acumen.
To be eligible, students must be in the top 7 percent of the junior class, top 10 percent of the senior class, top 20 percent of the graduating master's class, or have completed all requirements to receive a doctoral degree.
"Only the best students at AACSB-accredited schools of business are invited to join, so it's an acknowledgment of their hard work and effort," says Seth Treptow, communications director for Beta Gamma Sigma. "It is also a signal to others that they are one of the best students at one of the world's best business schools."
The 2013 class will be in prestigious company. Worldwide membership to the society is comprised of more than 700,000 business professionals residing in all 50 U.S. states and 160 countries. More than 1,100 Oakland University School of Business Administration graduates are included among this elite group.
One of them is Chris Valmassoi, Finance '09, of Royal Oak, Mich., who graduated with two minors -- one in economics and another in international management. He is a senior treasury analyst at La-Z-Boy Inc. in Monroe, Mich., where he has worked for nearly three years.
Opening doors
He credits his induction into Beta Gamma Sigma in his junior year at Oakland University as a pivotal point in his college experience.
"Beta Gamma Sigma really helped launch me into the business world," Valmassoi says. "Shortly after the induction ceremony at Meadow Brook Hall, I was invited to different events at Oakland that varied from dinners to special speakers and so on. It is safe to say it opened doors that no other recognition could, and I am very thankful for that."
These and other opportunities helped build momentum and bolster his business acumen.
He soon found himself running committees and accepting leadership roles. He was chairman of the SBA Dean's Board, an exploratory committee that led to his role as head of the SBA's first Scholars program. He also served as vice president of the Economics Student Association and helped with the Alice Gorlin Memorial Lectures, hosting discussions on the topics presented. Even the Beta Gamma Sigma national office invited him to take part in a focus group to identify ways to improve the honor society experience.
Building credentials
He began rubbing elbows with a lot of the business school faculty, including Dr. Addington Coppin, chair, Department of Economics and long-time faculty advisor to the Economics Student Association. Coppin also taught Valmassoi's international finance class.
The Beta Gamma Sigma designation provides students with exposure to research experts who help them build credentials. This exposure combined with the experience they gain through the business school's curricular, co-curricular and extra-curricular programs provides them with knowledgeable and respected references.
"He was one of the best students," Coppin says. "Chris has drive and leadership ability. I expect that he will continue to excel in all he does."
Dr. Mark Isken, associate professor, Department of Decision and Information Sciences, agrees. "Chris was a terrific student," he says. "Very professional, very engaged -- a great ambassador for the SBA."
Successful start
Before joining La-Z-Boy, Valmassoi worked in Chicago as an international treasury analyst for Maritime Brokers and Consultants. Prior to that, he was a financial associate at Nationwide Insurance in Troy, Mich., where he began as an intern and started to climb the corporate ladder.
Valmassoi points to his SBA education and his involvement with Beta Gamma Sigma as the impetus to his success.
"Answering questions on the fly when the dean is curious about a presentation is not that different than answering to the CFO or CEO in the boardroom," he says. "All of my time at Oakland University gave me a good foundation that allowed me to get where I am at today."

Alexei Fernando Ramírez (born September 22, 1981 in Pinar del Río, Cuba) is a Major League Baseball second baseman and shortstop for the Chicago White Sox. His nickname, given to him by White Sox manager Ozzie Guillén, is "The Cuban Missile" due to his tall, slim physique and combination of speed and power.
In seven years of baseball in the Cuban National Series, Ramírez spent most of his time playing shortstop and outfield for Pinar del Rio. He had a batting average of .335 in Cuba, and led the league in 2007 with 20 home runs while posting a .338 average. Ramírez played center field for Cuba at the 2006 World Baseball Classic, collecting 6 hits in 16 at-bats and impressing US scouts in the process. He hits and throws right-handed.
In September 2007, Ramírez left Cuba to apply for citizenship in the Dominican Republic, and also apply to Major League Baseball to enter free agency, according to his agent, Jaime Torres. He auditioned for many baseball teams before coming to an agreement on a four year contract with the Chicago White Sox on December 21, 2007.

Survey findings and summary
Thumbtack.com, in partnership with the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, has released the new results from the second annual Thumbtack.com Small Business Survey. The 2013 study draws upon data from over 7,000 small business owners nationwide and shows that California earned a 'D' grade, up from an 'F' in 2012. Although the state struggled overall, it ranked above average for its online resources for small businesses.
Some of the key findings for California include:
- The Bay Area was the top rated region in California for the second year in a row, followed by the Central Coast. San Francisco was the state's highest ranking city, followed by San Jose.
- California's highest grade was a 'C+' for its small business training and networking programs.
Thumbtack is a place where you can hire help locally. Need photographers in Los Angeles, general contractors in San Francisco, wedding photographers in San Jose, or plumbers in San Diego? Tell us what you need, and we'll bring you 3-5 bids on that job to your email inbox within 24 hours.

Other Names for this Disease
- Drug-induced gigantomastia (subtype)
- Gestational gigantomastia (subtype)
- Idiopathic gigantomastia (subtype)
- Juvenile gigantomastia (subtype)
- Macromastia
See Disclaimer regarding information on this site. Some links on this page may take you to organizations outside of the National Institutes of Health.
[1][2] To date, there is no universally accepted definition for gigantomastia; however, Dancey et al. (2007) state that a review of the medical literature suggests that definitions range from a D-cup bra size to breast enlargement requiring reduction of over 0.8 - 2 kg, which is equivalent to about 1.75 - 4.5 pounds. The exact cause of gigantomastia has not been determined. Nonetheless, the following theories have been proposed to explain gigantomastia: (1) end-organ hypersensitivity (a condition in which the breast tissue is more sensitive to hormones circulating in the body), (2) autoimmune issues, (3) high IGF-1 (insulin growth factor-1, a hormone involved in regulating bone growth) and (4) hyperprolactanemia (high levels of prolactin). [3] Gigantomastia has been noted as a side effect of treatment with certain medications like D-pencillamine and in one case as an apparently hereditary condition. [2] Symptoms of gigantomastic may include mastalgia (breast pain), ulceration/infection, posture problems, back pain and chronic traction injury to 4th/5th/6th intercostal nerves with resultant loss of nipple sensation. It is may also associated with decreased fetal growth, if the gigantomastia is present during pregnancy.

Why does it seem that there are so many atheists who want to go the exact opposite extreme of religion? Maybe I'm more of a humanist then because I do still have a very strong ethical code that I decided on using logic and a true sense of compassion towards others. Moral judgment can be based on the net positives it can provide for the whole of society. Aren't we all striving to improve ourselves and our communities? Freedom is a wonderful thing worth fighting for, but if those freedoms are not for the betterment of society then we must question if that particular freedom would be best if regulated instead.

Even animals have certain baseline "morals" in that many species have shown completely altruistic behavior. Gorillas saving a toddler falling into their enclosure for example. Dolphins saving sailors. These animals were complete strangers to the humans in question and still provided aid.
Obviously animals do not have the higher functioning (not sure if deluding yourself counts as higher functioning but it requires those parts at least) abilities to create delusions of higher powers. So why are they altruistic in these cases?
Seriously morals require reasoning...
Those same gorillas the males also kill their own young so the mother is in heat for mating again for pleasure.. and the dolphins kill porpoises for sport ....
Yea animal morals thats a funny one
Morals are sociological and fluid. What might appear to be "moral" in one context, may become "immoral" in another. There are "default morals" that we have agreed to as a society and have been driven into us from birth, but it all comes down to things like empathy, courage, and the society that you are in. That is why "morals" are different for every continent, country, state, county, city, faith, denomination, individual church, family and person. No two person's moral code is the same. And there are times when, even when 2 people's moral codes don't match, each person can see and appreciate the other person's position.
That is why it's so funny that xians think that morals come from god. If they did, we would all have the same moral code. But since no two people have the exact same moral code, that code couldn't have possibly come from a single finite source. And that is why saying that Atheists don't have morals because we don't believe in god is a strawman argument.
And humans kill animals for sport.
Exceptions do not an argument make. Saying one amoral behavior negates morality for the entire species negates it for humans as well. The point of my post is that there is some ingrained instinctual urge to do certain "good" and "helpful" actions even in animals and claiming random amoral killing rampages will occur without a deity is ridiculous because such actions don't even require higher level thinking.
Instinct and morals are at odds with one another.
You cant attribute one to the other. An instinct is done without thought, reason, or value simply for survival. Morals are anti survival in many cases. Instinct would tell me to kill competition for food. Morals tell me that it would be just as harmful to myself to murder an innocent person as it would be to kill them. Hence why we dont do it.
There is a difference though when your talking about a societal group you have now left behind Morality for Legality.
In any group there is a set of values but those are laws with consequences..
Its the reason god doesnt enter into morality at all even for religious people. Commandments are laws not morality.
Morality is what you do when no one is looking. The consequences have to be self imposed to be a true moral.
I'm not sure I agree with that. A huge part of socialization is propagation of the species, which is purely instinctual. The instinct to put yourself between a child and harm is strong in many people, even when the child isn't their own. When an emergency happens, people will often do things that will cause themselves harm to protect a child, a spouse, or even another person who they don't even know from a perceived threat without giving it a single thought. We have learned, as a species, over the last million years, that to preserve "the clan" is central to our own survival. I know if I saw a woman being raped in an ally way by several men, I would not hesitate to jump into the fray, even if I was pretty sure that I would be harmed or even killed in the process (I know this for a fact, since it did happen). Based on your assertion, my instincts should have told me not to do that, since I gained no benefit and it would have caused no harm to me to just keep on walking. And since I was in the middle of the sh!t before I really knew what I was doing, my "morals" had no play in the situation.
I do know that a lot of people *would* have walked on by for fear of getting hurt themselves. Or from just straight lack of empathy for the victim. That's why I say that morals can't possibly be based on a reward / punishment basis. Your moral fiber is who you are in the dark, when you think no one is watching.
I think your example the morality isnt saving the clan. the morality is that you would feel bad watching someone else suffer and not acting when you could have.
The clan mentality builds on and enforces personal values but there not dependent on each other.
If i saw someone not of my clan say a christian being abused by a priest i am not part of that clan yet i feel empathy and the need to act based on my own personal suffering that would occur by not acting. If my soul motivator was clan preservation the suffering of another clan would not affect my emotions at all.

No one.
Here, Wal-Mart supporters have reason to rejoice. Three Supercenters dot the Alabama 21 corridor, giving this county's shoppers ample opportunities to visit the world's largest retailer.
But that's not the only apt description of the late Sam Walton's empire.
Its immeasurable impact on nearly all areas of American retail — groceries, clothes, auto parts, hardware, home decor, electronics and CDs — has profoundly altered the landscape. Locally owned retailers with small inventories, staffs and advertising budgets have long-since learned that you don't compete toe-to-toe with Wal-Mart. You have to offer something the retail giant can't — personalized service, for instance.
Or, in other words, you don't out-Wal-Mart Wal-Mart.
That Wal-Mart deserves widespread criticism for the low wages it pays the majority of its massive workforce shouldn't be overlooked, either.
That mindset has been on display in Washington this summer as lawmakers in the nation's capital passed a living-wage ordinance that requires that city's retailers with at least $1 billion in annual sales and stores of more than 75,000 square feet to pay workers $12.50 an hour. Wal-Mart is not mentioned by name in the bill's language.
But the implication is clear. The city's minimum wage is $8.25 an hour — a dollar more than the federal minimum wage — yet it now requires megastores such as Wal-Mart to pay their workers more than 50 percent more than the city's legal wage. Washington's lawmakers are playing hardball with the retailer by saying, in effect, "You can come, but only if you follow these rules."
Wal-Mart planned to open six Washington-area stores. Construction is under way on three stores. In response to the city's new law, the retailer has cancelled plans for the others.
Embedded in this scenario are several issues, not the least of which is Wal-Mart's successful thwarting of unionization and the negative effect low-wage jobs with little, if any, employer-provided health care have on a community.
Though beset with the worst of America's poverty and inner-city crime, the District doesn't have to have Wal-Mart. (The same goes for New York City, another Wal-Mart dissenter.) Other options persist. It can play hardball, and has.
Smaller communities desperate for jobs, retail and tax revenue aren't as fortunate, which creates the perfect storm for Wal-Mart brass looking for areas to build new Supercenters. Cities such as Calhoun County's don't overflow with options for jobs and shoppers. Opportunities can be scarce. Looking the other way when a billion-dollar company issues minimum-wage checks to its employees becomes second nature.
All jobs aren't created equal. Wal-Mart proves that. Yet, it's impressive to see politicians willing to stand up for the long-term needs of those they represent.

We've now been officially rebranded. With an orange necktie.
This is one pricey piece of neckwear. We paid a Tennessee marketing firm $205,000 to conceptualize (a word beloved by marketing whizzes) substituting the letter "i" in Florida with that stifling and stodgy symbol of male office wear.
Very catchy. Gov. Rick Scott embraced the concept as "a brand that will solidify our reputation to the nation and the world." Which, given the governor's reputation for divining public sentiment, might prompt the Chamber of Commerce to head for the bunkers.
Enterprise Florida, the quasi public, tax-payer funded operation tasked with luring (some say bribing) out-of-state businesses to Florida, now wants $3 million to splash the new brand around the nation, along with a nifty new slogan, "The perfect climate for business."
But the proposed marketing campaign illustrates the risk inherent in hiring an outfit from Nashville to peddle Florida's attributes.
It didn't seem to occur to the creative thinkers running North Star Destination Strategies, located 490 miles north of Tallahassee, that down this way, women-folk have an actual place in the business community.
They know now. The male-centric tie campaign brought on an eruption of feminine pique. Alex Sink, the former Florida Chief Financial Officer and gubernatorial candidate, reacted this week with a Facebook rant: "What a terrible way to brand our state. We are diverse. We are modern. And we won't stand for our state to be portrayed as having a stuffy, outdated climate for business."
Newspapers and business journals around the state fairly roiled with similar reactions from irritated business women. Perhaps North Star had been misled by all those white guys on the Enterprise Florida Board of Directors, with just nine women (and one black man) on its 62-member board of directors. Enterprise Florida's self-professed mission is to "diversify Florida's economy," but apparently not its own executive board. On the board's online portrait gallery, I counted 51 necks draped in ties, none of them orange.
North Star's lack of familiarity with Florida led to another mistake that would have been obvious to an in-state firm. In this state, a certain entity already owns the orange necktie brand. At least in the public mind.
Coach Al Golden's neckwear is so much a part of his persona, and, by extension, so emblematic of University of Miami football that the very sight of an orange necktie elicits a hostile reaction and possibly a fistfight anywhere within a 100-mile radius of Tallahassee.
Even before the orange tie fiasco, business folks had been questioning why Enterprise Florida, supposedly dedicated to bringing jobs into the state, had out-sourced a marketing contract to Tennessee. Which might as well have been Mumbai. Well, the answer is right there on the company's website. North Star Destination Strategies, despite its own not very catchy brand, has handled some of the most significant branding challenges in America.
A contract with North Star provided the genius that tagged Estherville, Iowa, with "Elements of a Good Life." (Some elements, anyway). Goshen, Ind., became "Uncommonly good. Uncommonly great." (Or just plain uncommon.)
North Port, Florida, a nondescript chunk of suburban sprawl between Sarasota and Fort Myers, was rebranded as the place to "achieve anything," a slogan that the Sarasota Herald-Tribune decided was appropriate given that the recession-stunted city "lacks a movie theater, mall or bowling alley." Indeed, anything would be an achievement.
For its money, Lee's Summit, Missouri, got the inexplicable slogan "Yours truly." Roanoke, Virg., was christened the not so inexplicable "Virginia's Blue Ridge," and locals must have been slapping themselves on the head, gazing at the mountain vistas, wondering, "Why didn't I think of that?" Or maybe they had.
Simple-minded stuff doesn't come easy. North Star suggested that it took a "two-year re-branding effort involving more than 1,500 people" to decide to change the seven-county region formerly known as "Iowa's Technology Corridor" to "Iowa's Creative Corridor."
Marathon County, Wisconsin, got itself the slogan, "Central Time" — I have no idea why. However the state of Mississippi, stubbornly clinging to an antebellum, south-will-rise-again mindset, was easy: "Find Your Own True South." Yeehaw.
You'd think a town like Moose Jaw, in Saskatchewan, Canada, would inspire a particularly witty, rustic slogan. But Moose Jaw was stuck with "Surprisingly Unexpected," which would have been a better fit for Tijuana. The Moose Jaw trademark does include an explanation point fashioned from a moose antler. Maybe the use of drawing in the typeface presaged Florida's orange tie.
Alex Sink has offered her own counter-campaign. "Florida is the state for innovators and entrepreneurs. Ditch the tie and join us."
Enterprise Florida claimed the orange tie and "perfect climate" slogan was derived from "430 survey responses, 172 interviews, 26 focus groups and 19 tours." Apparently, for another $125,000, a Jacksonville marketing firm was brought in to craft the final scintillating product.
I'm pretty sure that a newspaper columnist could have come up with something just as catchy after a fact-finding mission along Ocean Drive on a sunny Saturday afternoon.
It's early in my marketing research project — it's going to be tough coming up with new and innovative ways to fritter away $330,000 of the public's money — but I'm pretty certain about one thing. Whatever skimpy attire my marketing campaign embraces, it won't involve neckties. Orange or otherwise.

CHICAGO — "Move your feet and don't use your hands."
That's Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany's advice for college basketball teams in dealing with rule changes this season designed to decrease contact when guarding an opponent with the ball.
What did the coaches say to that Thursday at media day?
Simple theory, complex application.
"I don't know yet," Ohio State coach Thad Matta said when quizzed about the new rules that ban putting two hands on a foe, keeping a hand or forearm on a foe or using an armbar to impede a dribbler.
"I don't want to avoid the question. I've got to see it for a couple of weeks, and I want to see it across the board for about a two- to three-week window to analyze it."
The idea is to introduce more offense to the game. Scoring in college basketball last season hit a 61-year low, as teams averaged 67.5 points a game. Three-point shooting also was the worst (34.1 percent) since the shot was implemented in 1986-87.
Delany is on the side of good, watchable basketball.
As a player, he was a starting guard on a Final Four team at North Carolina. As a commissioner, he's been part of a competition committee gathering data from Final Fours since 1950 to look for trends and why the game has become relatively low scoring.
"People are giving up two hours of their time to watch a college basketball game," Delany said. "That's a big 'ask.' So it's got to be fun to watch."
Conference officials and coaches are hoping games stay near the two-hour mark. But after some scrimmages and exhibition games, there were reports of 35 to 40 fouls and 60 to 80 free throws shot. That would make for 2�-hour games.
"If we want to make it into a completely non-physical game," Michigan State coach Tom Izzo said, "I worry there are going to be longer, more boring games. And people are going to play more zone (clogging the middle)."
Delany met with Big Ten men's and women's coaches Wednesday night.
"Everybody is sort of tentative and working with officials to understand what will be," he said. "But they are all interested in the flow of the game and opening it up. I hope we can find something sustainable and consistent."
Getting to knowing Eliason
New Minnesota coach Richard Pitino is a fan of Gophers junior center Elliott Eliason, though the coach isn't sure the junior from Chadron, Neb., was all that enamored of him in early practices.
"When I first got the job," Pitino said, smiling, "all I did was say his name on the court. That's normally not a good thing. Now, I don't normally talk about him, which is a great thing."
Eliason has added 15 pounds to get to 260 on his 6-foot-11 frame.
"He's been really good," Pitino said. "He has put on that muscle, and he's in great shape."
Last season, Eliason was a role player, averaging 2.2 points and 3.5 rebounds in 14 minutes a game. But he played key minutes in two of Minnesota's biggest wins last season — over No. 1 Indiana and against UCLA in the NCAA tournament.
Pitino said 25 to 30 minutes a game for Eliason isn't a stretch.
"He's going to have a really good year for us," the coach said. "He has improved a lot. And he's a great kid."
Recruiting chain of command
Izzo drew big laughs when asked whether he has seen changes in the "dynamics" of trying to recruit in Chicago, an obvious reference to the glut of AAU and summer-league coaches hanging around top prospects.
"If there are good players, there's going to be a lot of coaches around," he said. "And if there are a lot of coaches around, there are going to be issues.
"I don't know what else I can say. I don't want to get slapped by somebody for saying the wrong thing about recruiting."
Then with perfect timing, Izzo said the following phrases slowly: "A lot of good players. ... A lot of coaches. ... And a lot of middlemen."
Bits and pieces
Purdue potentially has one of the most skilled big men in the country in 7-foot sophomore A.J. Hammons. But he has been suspended for three games for violating team rules. Said coach Matt Painter: "Whenever there is disciplinary action, you've got to take the next step. Everybody says the right thing in the huddle, but you've got to go out and do the right thing." ... With more fouls likely to be called this season, will Iowa practice free throws more? "We won't," coach Fran McCaffery said, "because we shoot a ton already." ... Preseason player of the year Gary Harris, a guard from Michigan State, said he is healthy for the first time in nearly 10 months after playing last season with shoulder and ankle problems.

Hi guys,
This is my first post here, so apologizes if my question was already answered. I haven't though found it in the forums.
I have a problem when exporting my videos. I have tried many formats and read some answers about this in the forums, but none seem to solve it. I record my videos in 1280 x 720 HD MP4. That's what they look like straight out of the camera:
And this is the same video in Adobe Premiere Pro (part of the editing consisted in turning the video upside down).You can see that Premiere Pro fits the video between to black stripes. Why?
However, after exporting them, this is what they look like. Looks like it realizes that the format will not fit YouTube and it re-fits it into a frame:
And this is the final product, uploaded to Youtube:
As you see, quality is very poor compared to the original video, and there is a thick black frame I'd like to get rid of. I think I must be using the wrong format, but I don't know what should be the right one. May the problem be with the camera settings? I guess not, as without any editing, it fits perfectly into YouTube format.
Thanks in advance!
Welcome to the forum. Unfortunately, you have posted to the Premiere Elements (separate program) Forum, and not to the PrPro Forum.
If you have PrPro CS 5 - CS 6, post here: http://forums.adobe.com/community/premiere/premierepro_current?view=ov erview
If you have PrPro CS 4, or Earlier, post here: http://forums.adobe.com/community/premiere/premierepro_previous?view=o verview
For some PrPro Export tips, see this FAQ Entry.
Good luck,
Thank you for your help. I accidentally wrote Premiere Pro in my post, but I'm using Premiere Elements; that's why I asked here.
Sorry again; this is my first time here and I may be having some trouble navigating the forums.
Excellent, you ARE in the correct forum.
As for the quality and also the black borders (usually caused by a mis-match between the Source Footage and the Project's Preset), can you list the full specs. of your Source Footage, and also your Project Preset.
Good luck, and thanks for that info,
Start with Steve's Basic Training Tutorials http://forums.adobe.com/thread/537685
Thanks everyone.
The problem were indeed the project's Preset settings. I was looking at the opposite end of the job, so it took me quite a little time to find what it was. I changed the settings to something that looked similar to the source footage and now I don't have the black frame anymore.
Again, thank you for your help. Cheers!
This is quit common. The Project must match the Source Footage, as closely, as is possible.
Then, when edited, one would choose the appropriate Export/Share settings to get a final output, that meets their needs.
The one exception to this is when one is doing SlideShows, with Still Image ONLY, i.e. no Video. Then, they would look to the output, setup their Project for that, and Scale the Still Images to match that. Remember, that is with Projects, that have NO Video.
Good luck, and glad that the forum was helpful.

Our normal 4e encounters group is running a 13th Age playtest session, and I'm creating a Level 1 fighter character based on Adam Jensen from Deus Ex: Human Revolution. I'm skimming the rules and the classes and, beyond the one ranger class feat, I can't find anything in the playtest notes about penalties or bonuses from dual wielding weapons. Can someone point me in the right direction or quote them for me?
From the Escalation V6 rules, page 197, under Two Weapon Fighting.
The Fighter has the Power "Two Weapon Pressure" as well. However, the Ranger is to go-to guy for dual wielding.
The advantage for two weapon fighting as a Fighter is that you have a 1 in 20 chance of re-rolling an attack, plus on a miss, you get a +2 attack against the same target next round (if you pick Two Weapon Pressure). The downside is you lose AC from not having a shield. (Two Weapon Pressure is a level 1 Power, and it triggers on any miss, so maybe it's good enough to compensate for a lack of shield)

So grab that stick, and let's go make Paula Deen proud!
Step 1: De-Sticks
After your in-home wax treatment, your legs are hair-free but still have some waxy remnants. Just like with the glue, rub a bit of butter on it, and the whole mess will wash off with soap and water.
Gum in your hair? Never fear! Apply softened butter to your locks, and the bubble gum will glide off pain-free.
Maybe you parked your car under and especially sappy tree, or perhaps got a bit over-enthusiastic while tree-hugging. If you've got sap all over, dislodge it by rubbing some soft butter on the spot with a cloth. Wipe away, and wash with soap and water.
If you're needing to cut up some sticky food (pies, dates, toffee, marshmallows, etc) spread a knife very thinly with butter before slicing in. It will slide through easily without sticking - and add a few more delicious calories to your plate.
Step 2: Around the House
To shine up cast iron, a small dab of butter on a cotton rag will make your metal look like new. This works well with other metals, as well.
Butter can also be used to add shine to your leather baseball gloves, jackets, belts, wallets, purses, etc. Because butter contains proteins, it has plenty of amino acids and won't hurt the leather. Simply rub a small amount of butter on your leather goods for a nice shine.
Certainly you are right about LOTS of water.
Oil, on the other hand, is a key ingredient in many of the best sauces, whether in meat/fat/even vegetable form, or just pure. Especially in most good restaurants where there is far more fat used in the dishes than most people would like to know, because a good chef doesn't compromise flavor/quality for the waistline concious, unless you're in that niche market.
So.. an oily sauce wouldn't stick to an oily pasta?
If I remember correctly, the difference in oil content on the pasta at the end was negligible regardless of oil/no oil in water anyway. Most of the oil stays at the top of the water. I may be wrong on that one.
Further arguments would note that sauce sticking to the pasta is far from the point.
Anyway, functionally, oil stops foaming. No more, no less.
Sheesh. Got my argument button somehow. To each his own belief, unless you're fastideous about the science of it. Most chefs are more concerned with what works for them. Bottom line, I'm hungry now. Mmmm. I'm thinking baked ziti. Now there's one you won't be lacking oil in :)
Well, every shape of pasta is meant to go with certain kinds of sauces. A chunky sauce, greasy or not, would never stick to spaghetti, for example.
So you are telling me that 'just because you are Italian' you know more about pasta than any American? Then I guess a Chinese or Greek would know more than you about it because they are Chinese or Greek and had pasta before Italy/Sicily ? Oh and just because they may be in America now does not mean they are not Italian. I really hate that people have these cooking stereo types. I love to cook and cook many different foods/types of food. I have messed up some of the most basic of recipes that I have made a thousand times before and taken on complicated recipes that turned out perfect the first time. Sorry, I don't think your ethnic background has anything to do with cooking. If anyone can prove me wrong then I will need to hunt down a copy of an Irish/German/English/Austria-Hungarian cookbook so that I can cook my best ever!
emihackr97, at least we are in the minority who know how to cook and eat pasta.
Besides, last time I smeared something on my cat's paws, she wiped it off on the furniture.
Butter dissolved the adhesive, and what we couldn't towel off, the cat took care of.
I know that at one time, lanolin (a relative of butter, I guess, in that it is an animal fat) was used to heal cuts and wounds and it is a known fact that the guys who shear sheep regularly nick themselves with their shears but never get infections because of the lanolin in the wool.
I make fruit leather and have a problem with the dried leather sticking to the pan/tray even though I've used coconut or olive oil. I'll definitely try butter next time. Is there any concern about it going rancid, though, at room temp?
Well lanolin isn't anti-microbial, but living on a sheep farm, I can testify to the wonders of it. Before my sis learned how to shear sheep the guy that came around had the softest hands and shearing mocs. Shearing mocs are mostly just Minnetonka mocs that have a soft leather sole. Lanolin can be used on leather and was used and still is in some the natural ointments for cuts and diaper rash. And Javin007 even the dad of the shearer would cut himself sometimes and he had been shearing for about 60 some years. If you look at hand lotion some do have lanolin. Just think you are rubbing ram grease into your hands;)
Clarified butter will be better, but a more stable oil, like soybean or canola might be better...
But, clutz that I was, I was *constantly* knicking myself, even with the electric shears. Not once in Egypt did I get so much as an infected hang-nail. I'd never connected it to the lanolin. I'll have to look into this! Thanks!
For long time lubrication, i'd take a specialised product with PTFE.
I use it in copious amounts when i make real croissants.
Or make brown butter instead of gravy, it's also called the olive oil of the north...
For example on self made ravioli or tortelloni or pasta in general.
Slowly heated, until it turns brown. Don't overheat it, otherwise it gets bitter.
Exactly where is it that you live? (a joke, maybe...)
(Where you find cheese, chocolate, butter and greedy bankers...;-)
I made my first puff pastry dough, after seeing "Baking with Julia with Esther McManus".
The real croissant dough has also yeast in it.
It's a bit of work, but certainly worth it.
To the "pasta purist" with his no butter, no oil, no fat in pasta theory:
Oil in the pasta water doesn't make too much sense to me either. But it doesn't hurt that much.
The no oil at all statement just doesn't make sense.
Fat is a flavour carrier supreme.
How do you start a sugo?
I add some oil to the pan and sautee some onions in the oil. The sauce sticks very well to the pasta.
How would you make a "aglio e olio" without oil?
Tortellini alla panna? (panna is cream)
Ever heard of "burro e salvia"? (burro is? butter)
As long as you have some emulgation in the sauce like in a sugo or with cream or chese. As long it will stick to the pasta.
Butter is used in the "Italian" cuisine.
Which "italian" cuisine are we talking about anyway.
Olive trees grow only in the southern parts of italy.
In the northern or even alpine regions of italy, there is lots of dairy farming.
(I go there often and enjoy the food and wine.)
So most cheese (and butter) making is in the north.
The use of olive oil was historically more in the south.
SO please PLEASE use cold water, ice, or anything but oils on a burn of any kind.
As long as the skin is not broken....not a problem.
Just spread a thin layer of the "yellow stuff" onto the painful area...and quickly the pain goes away. I think it is the vinegar that removes the pain.

Houndour has great typing to go along with a great ability. Dark/Fire can really shine in a metagame filled with Ghosts, and Flash Fire allows easy switch-ins due to its immunity to Will-O-Wisp. Houndour also has one of the most effective tools at its disposal, Sucker Punch, which is an 80 Base Power STAB priority move. This allows it to run many more sets effectively, such as Reversal and mixed sets. It also helps with the only thing holding Houndour back, its mediocre Speed. Houndour is a big threat to this metagame with its powerful STABs, high Special attack, and powerful priority to boot. Houndour's biggest weakness on the sets with Sucker Punch, are the rare opponents that resist it, and are faster than Houndour. All Houndour needs is something that can absorb Aqua Jets coming from Carvanha and Vacuum Waves coming from Croagunk, and with proper prediction, Houndour is quite difficult to stop.
Houndour's excellent Special Attack, decent Speed, and powerful STAB attacks make it a great Choice Scarf user. This set is especially useful for revenge killing slower Choice Scarf users and unboosted faster Pokémon, since they tend to be frail enough to be OHKOed by at least one of Houndour's attacks. Additionally, Houndour can sweep late game with Fire Blast or Dark Pulse when its counters are weakened.
Fire Blast backed by Houndour's base 80 Special Attack will 2HKO anything that switches in at the very least. Dark Pulse hits Water-types, Ghosts, and Wynaut. Hidden Power hits opposing Houndour, but Hidden Power Ground will also OHKO Pokémon such as Ponyta who can survive a Dark Pulse. Overheat and Pursuit are great moves to use in the last slot for different reasons. Overheat allows Houndour to play an effective hit-and-run strategy, which works well with Rapid Spin support. Pursuit allows Houndour to trap and OHKO most of the Ghost-types in the tier, even with a Timid nature.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
This set is designed to use Houndour's strong points to stop the opponent from setting up early game. With a combination of Protect, Focus Sash, and Early Bird, not much will be able to deal with Houndour, since most Pokémon are 2HKOed by Overheat or Reversal and Sucker Punch. This set also functions decently as a revenge killer or wallbreaker after its job as a lead is done.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
This set specializes in taking out many of your opponent's defensive Pokémon, while also getting rid of the frail sweepers. Life Orb boosted Fire Blast hits everything that does not resist it incredibly hard, while Pokémon such as Munchlax are nailed by Crunch. Your opponent will likely try to revenge kill Houndour with some sort of Choice Scarf attacker, but a Life Orb boosted Sucker Punch says no to that, getting the OHKO on many frail Pokémon, most importantly Diglett. Substitute can be used to essentially guarantee a KO if set up. The strategy is simple: send in Houndour on something like Wynaut or Bronzor, then set up a Substitute on the switch and proceed to KO one of your opponents Pokémon with Crunch or Fire Blast. Hidden Power Ground is there to hit other Houndour and also defensive Rock-types who resist Fire Blast. Pursuit is an option to allow Houndour to trap Ghosts and Psychics, while also hitting other Choiced Fire Pokémon hard when they are forced out.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
This set aims to force a switch and set up a Nasty Plot. After a Nasty Plot, Houndour will be able to OHKO almost any Pokémon after a +2 boost, with the exception of max Special Defense Munchlax, who has a decent chance to survive a +2 Hidden Power Fighting. Fire Blast is Houndour's main attack and will OHKO any Pokémon who does not resist it, while Dark Pulse will nail everything that does not.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Houndour can effectively run a physical set, if only because of Sucker Punch. Fire Fang is a very weak STAB attack and Thunder Fang offers mediocre coverage, hitting bulky Water-types without Volt Absorb. However, a Choice Banded Sucker Punch can OHKO Pokémon whom the Life Orb sets with Sucker Punch can not, such as Voltorb and Doduo.
Houndour is one of the best Beat Up users outside of Ubers. It hits incredibly hard with a correct Beat Up team. However, this set can only be used effectively in the circumstances that there is a good Beat Up team backing it up. Beat Up can also be underwhelming, since it is still too weak to OHKO Munchlax without a Dread Plate.
A SolarBeam set can be used effectively on a Sunny Day team, especially since Sunny Day also boosts Fire-type attacks. Will-O-Wisp is a good move to catch Munchlax and other Pokémon on the switch, and it might be worthwhile to find space for it, even when considering its lower accuracy.
Checks and Counters
Because of the type coverage allotted by Dark and Fire, there are not too many Pokémon who can reliably switch into the Nasty Plot set. Without knowing what set you are up against, Diglett will not want to risk switching into a Houndour to revenge it, only to find itself OHKOed by Sucker Punch, or worse yet, to get shot down in flames by Fire Blast or Flamethrower by a Choice Scarf variant. Shieldon and Aron cannot even take a Life Orb-boosted Fire Blast, though if up against a Choice set, Dark Pulse is an ideal move to switch in on, though they must beware Overheat. Mantyke does fine against any Choiced variant of Houndour, but it needs to beware of mixed variants. Omanyte and Kabuto can cause massive trouble for Houndour in the rain or sandstorm, but that is fairly situational.
Houndour can be countered by any Pokemon sufficiently bulky enough to survive any attack followed by Sucker Punch, as well as beaten by Pokemon who outspeed it or use faster Priority, such as Elekid, Magby, or Carvanha. The faster counters are much less effective now because of Sucker Punch. Croagunk is also a good revenge killer with Vacuum Wave and Sucker Punch resistance. Gligar can revenge kill most variants as well, since it survives Sucker Punch and can easily OHKO Houndour with Earthquake.

Check out all the web boards, there are lots of posts that may get you started. I'm so looking forward to learning more about how we can help and hearing about that baby!
Congrats! Looking forward to learning more about you and what things we can help you with! I'd just say, for starters, to read up on what to expect with pregnancy and labor/delivery.

Cheap Eats
Kristo's Pizza
206 W. Saratoga St., (410) 727-3378, kristospizza.com
Published: January 23, 2013
A group of crusty punk kids stood out on the sidewalk in front of Kristo's Pizza waiting for their food because the carry-out joint only had room enough for one or two to stand and no seats. Though it was a chilly evening, the door was open to allow the plumes of grease smoke a means of escape. Until last year, what was then called Kristo's Carry Out served "Indian and American" food, as the sign still indicates. But when it came under new management, they started serving pizza, wings, and sandwiches. We decided to do our best to split the difference and ordered the buffalo pizza (12-inch for $13.95), a thickish-crust pizza with buffalo sauce, chopped chicken, and bleu cheese. The whole thing was a gloppy mess, falling apart as we tried to pick it up—but it was a delicious, almost glorious, gloppy mess. (We can imagine that if one were stoned, one could spend a whole night rhapsodizing over this.) The french fries ($1.95 small), on the other hand, were underwhelming. Kristo's also advertises liquor by the bottle (Jameson, $22.99 for a fifth) and beer by the 30-pack (Budweiser, $19.99). Located on what we think is one of the coolest blocks in Baltimore, Kristo's will definitely see us again.
