I get a kick out of seeing the characters I like in movies, tv shows and books get hurt...
Eat well, exercise and die anyway
I admit that I've dont some things I regret when I was drunk.
BUT, I didn't cheat :3 never ever. My boyfriend is too precious. And I can control myself. Hola.
heyo heyo heyo
I must confess. I have issues when it comes to relationships with others. I don't like depending on others nor when people depend on me. Most of my "friends" are just acquaintances to me. It's not like I don't like them. I just don't like people getting too close to me.
I get the thought that I can't honestly say it's something I'd never say if I then proceed to say it. lol. But I think I'll pass on answering seriously -- for reasons I don't want to say.
I'm going commando right now

My emotion at any given point is largely determined by the strongest emotion of people nearby. If someone is extremely angry I start to become more and more angry or if they are really sad I start to get sad. If there is more than one strong emotion nearby I start to get nervous and flustered. If I am by myself though I am mostly sad and empty feeling. This is one of the several reasons I try to avoid people.
I've fatally stabbed a man.
I once lied to police to protect my older sister. Don't worry, all she did was sneak out to her boyfriends house, and I only lied about knowing where she went. This is probably the worst I've done, since deceiving police is a federal offense.

I looooveeee how people started helping others on this :>
Confession: I have a fatal respiratory condition.
Mental toughness: sacrifice, self-denial, disciplined will.
I one time forgot to wash my hands before cooking if that counts.
I've always wanted to be mute. I feel like life would be a lot easier that way. Well, at least it would be for me. I'm not good at talking, and if I didn't have to...I never would.
My previous status is even more relevant now!

MANILA, Philippines (AP) — Philippine prosecutors have sought the release of 18 suspected Abu Sayyaf militants after an investigation showed they were erroneously arrested for involvement in the 2002 kidnappings of six people in the country's south, officials said Thursday.
Seven prosecutors said in a joint report that the men were either mistakenly identified as Abu Sayyaf militants or may have been members of the al-Qaida-linked group but played no role in the kidnappings, based on available evidence.
Membership in the Abu Sayyaf and other suspected terror groups is not outlawed in the Philippines.
At least two of the suspects have been detained for more than two years, while most others were captured last year, according to Peter Ong, a prosecutor who recently carried out a new investigation after many suspects insisted on their innocence.
A judge must now approve the release of the suspects.
While the Abu Sayyaf committed the kidnappings and beheadings, "we note the indiscriminate arrests of alleged members of the ASG, even those who did not participate in the kidnappings," the prosecutors said. ASG is an acronym for the Abu Sayyaf Group.
Two other suspects detained in connection with the kidnappings have been identified as being among the kidnappers. Those two are still being held by authorities and will face trials, the prosecutors said.
The victims, all members of the religious sect Jehovah's Witnesses, were peddling cosmetics in a community in rural Patikul township when they were abducted in Aug. 2002 and taken to the Abu Sayyaf's jungle encampments. Two of the victims were beheaded by the militants and four eventually escaped, the prosecutors said.
The Abu Sayyaf, which is on a U.S. list of terrorist organizations, has been blamed for bomb attacks, kidnapping sprees and beheadings.
The Abu Sayyaf was founded in 1991 on southern Basilan island with funds and training believed to come from Asian and Middle Eastern radical groups, including al-Qaida. It came to U.S. attention in 2001 when it kidnapped three Americans, one of whom was beheaded, along with dozens of Filipinos.

The state has spent more than four years trying to develop regulations for fracking. It's received more than 80,000 public comments on those regulations.
The state has spent more than four years trying to develop regulations for fracking. It's received more than 80,000 public comments on those regulations.
Will 2013 be the year we get the final word when — or if — fracking will be allowed in the state? After all, the regulations are supposed to be finalized in February, with the completion of a health-impact study.
If the past four years are any indication, I wouldn't hold my breath,Every time the finish line seems in sight, it moves further away. Just check out what the state's two top decision makers said this year: In February, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said a decision on the horizontal natural gas extraction method of hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, would be made "in a couple of months."
Earlier that month, Department of Environmental Conservation Commissioner Joe Martens went a step further.
It's possible, he said, that "an extremely limited number of fracking permits could be issued this year." But even if the state does make a final decision, it will most certainly be challenged by lawsuits.
That's one thing folks on both sides of the issue have agreed on — when the process started more than four years ago, and when I recently asked them.
"It's a virtual certainty," said Kate Sinding, a senior attorney of the powerful National Resources Defense Council.
"That is absolutely obvious," said Pennsylvania's Mike Uretsky, a pro-drilling member of a task force established by the National Petroleum Council at the request of Secretary of Energy Steven Chu.
It's a big week for fracking on the big screen.
Hollywood's much hyped anti-fracking movie, "Promised Land," opened in New York City Friday. But folks around here will have to wait until next week to see stars like Matt Damon, John Krasinski and Ulster County's Frances McDormand in the film that portrays the battle over gas drilling.
It's scheduled to open Friday at the Downing Film Center in Newburgh and the AMC Loews Palisades Center 21 in Nyack.
"Promised Land" may have stars like Damon, Krasinski and McDormand, but the new pro-fracking documentary, "FrackNation," which opens briefly a week from Monday in New York City, features a few local folks — like outspoken Callicoon dairy farmer and fracking supporter Bill Graby. He's one of those interviewed in the film that will be shown at 7:30 p.m. Jan. 7 at the Chelsea Cinema in New York City. It makes its national debut at 9 p.m. Jan. 22 on AXS TV
As we enter 2013, here's where municipalities in the mid-Hudson stand on fracking.
Sullivan County: Bethel, Forestburgh, Highland, Lumberland and Tusten have banned it. Delaware and Fremont passed resolutions to support it.
Orange County: The towns of Monroe and Warwick are considering bans.
Ulster County: Woodstock, Saugerties, Rochester and Wawarsing have banned it. New Paltz and Marbletown are considering bans.

Pain Management
Medications for Muscle Pain
What medications are recommended for muscle pain? I have tried Vicodin, Norco and Oxy with no relief. The muscle pain involves my whole body. Also, is there anything OTC that could work just as well as a prescription medication?
You may be suffering from fibromyalgia, a benign diffuse muscle ache condition, but you should always confirm a diagnosis by an examination with a physician. There are two medications currently FDA approved for the treatment of Fibromyalgia: Lyrica and Cymbalta. Tramadol, a pain medicine, can be substituted for Cymbalta. Nonetheless, the cornerstone of treatment for fibromyalgia is low impact exercise (such as swimming) at least 5 times a week.

Sesame Street Season 13 aired from November 23, 1981 to May 21, 1982.
This season expanded its curriculum to include new emphasis on the development of listening skills and the ability to follow directions. Pre-reading segments will include illustrations on the practical uses and pleasures of reading.[1]
The concept of environment is also introduced this season. Al Hyslop comments, "For 2 and 3 year olds, the fact that there is an environment is terribly important, though they won't recognize it as that. When you are 4 and 5, you begin to discover there are certain qualities that have to do with environment, like endangered species." In the premiere episode (1576), the concept of "endangered species" focuses on Big Bird as the rare beast in question.
A new Muppet character named Aristotle, who is a blind monster, is introduced this season to continue exploring the area of the handicapped.[2]

Pope's call-out Where's the Muslim outrage?
Free state garden: Weeding is always good
Pope Francis' mark appears to be on the recent call of the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue for Muslim leaders to speak out and condemn the barbaric actions of the Islamic extremists who are murdering Christian and other religious minorities in their drive to create a new state.
The ISIS thugs are attempting to return the Mideast to a previous century where their heroes put to the sword anyone who failed to denounce their own religious beliefs in favor of allegiance to Mohammed. It is just the latest iteration of the radical Muslim scourge that has been attacking the West, and America in particular, since well before Sept. 11, 2001.
The council spoke of the "barbarity" and "unspeakable criminal acts" going on today.
"The plight of Christians, Yazidis and other religious and ethnic communities that are numeric minorities in Iraq demands a clear and courageous stance on the part of the religious leaders, especially Muslims, those engaged in interfaith dialogue and everyone of goodwill."
"No cause can justify such barbarity and certainly not a religion," said the Pontifical Council.
No cause indeed. Yet Muslim leaders are largely silent, and it has fallen on the Pope to give his assent to the use of force to stop the Islamist war.

I can't resist mentioning Google's Dracula themed logo today celebrating the 165th birthday of Bram Stoker!
The logo presents scenes from Stoker's Dracula uber-famous vampire book, done up in a woodcut-illustration style very reminiscent of the illustrations of Aubrey Beardsley, from the same time period. Dracula was published in 1897.
What may be more significant for search marketers, however, is the special search results page the logo is linked-to, which features Bram Stoker-related books, the Sponsored "shop for" sidebar box and the Wikipedia entry highlights box, along with the usual Universal Search items peppered through the search results listings: news search, author-tagged posts, video and image search results.
This logo and associated search results treatment seems to be specifically designed to help propel featured sponsor ad clicks, as well as to promote Google's robust search results features.
It calls to question — will Google continue to specifically try to monetize their future Google Doodle logos in a similar fashion?

UNH men's hockey goalie benched after arrestBy ALEX HALL
New Hampshire Union Leader
September 03. 2014 8:32PM
DURHAM — University of New Hampshire men's hockey team goalie Casey DeSmith has been suspended from the team after being charged with simple assault and resisting arrest.
Durham police received a report at 12:59 a.m. Sunday from a young woman who said she was a victim of assault, according to Deputy Chief Rene Kelley. He said when officers arrived near Mill Road in Durham, they came into contact with the woman and DeSmith.
Kelley said the two knew each other.
After interviewing the woman and witnesses, the officers determined that DeSmith, 23, had assaulted her, Kelley said. DeSmith had to be physically restrained as he was being arrested, according to Kelley.
"The University of New Hampshire is aware of Casey DeSmith's arrest," the school said in an official statement. "The university takes the allegations very seriously and will always act to ensure the health and safety of our community."
The university said that it "will treat this report with the seriousness that it deserves and in a manner consistent with (its) handling of similar cases involving any UNH student."
A Rochester native, DeSmith has been the Wildcats' starting goalie since his freshman season in 2011. Last year, he posted a 20-16-0 record in net and three shutouts and helped the Wildcats reach the Hockey East Championship game, where they fell, 4-0, to UMass Lowell.
DeSmith has been suspended from the ice hockey team pending further investigation, according to the university's official statement.
The night of his arrest, DeSmith was taken to Wentworth-Douglass Hospital in Dover to be evaluated before he was taken to Strafford County Jail. He was charged with one count of simple assault and one count of resisting arrest.
The university's athletic department had no comment on DeSmith's arrest.
Kelley has not released the police report and said he will not because the case has not yet been adjudicated.
DeSmith is to be arraigned on Oct. 2.

AMENDED: To evaluate the pharmacokinetics of intravenously administered AZT to HIV-1 infected pregnant women in labor; to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and urinary excretion of AZT and its metabolites in newborns of HIV-1 infected mothers who receive IV AZT only during labor; to evaluate the safety of IV AZT administered by continuous infusion to HIV-1 infected laboring women and their infants. Original design: To determine the distribution and elimination of zidovudine (AZT) in the body as well as its safety in the treatment of pregnant women and their unborn children. The information derived from this study is required in order to design a future study that will assess the efficacy of AZT in reducing the transmission rate of HIV-1 from seropositive women to their fetus by treating them during the third trimester of pregnancy.
An estimated 30 percent to 40 percent infected pregnant women risk transmission of HIV-1 to their infants, whether they be symptomatic or asymptomatic. Zidovudine (AZT) has previously demonstrated its effectiveness as a potent inhibitor of HIV replication in vitro and in adult patients; benefits of treatment include decreased mortality rate, decreased incidence of opportunistic infections, and increased number of CD4 cells. Phase I AZT studies in children, however, have resulted in uncontrolled information regarding clinical efficacy. The present study, therefore, will investigate the safety and pharmacokinetics of intravenous (IV) and oral AZT administration to HIV-1 infected pregnant women in the 3rd trimester, as well as the safety and efficacy of such treatment in their newborns.
It is hoped that the results will be instrumental in designing future studies to assess the efficacy of AZT in reducing the transmission risk of HIV-1.

|Phase 1
An estimated 30 percent to 40 percent infected pregnant women risk transmission of HIV-1 to their infants, whether they be symptomatic or asymptomatic. Zidovudine (AZT) has previously demonstrated its effectiveness as a potent inhibitor of HIV replication in vitro and in adult patients; benefits of treatment include decreased mortality rate, decreased incidence of opportunistic infections, and increased number of CD4 cells. Phase I AZT studies in children, however, have resulted in uncontrolled information regarding clinical efficacy. The present study, therefore, will investigate the safety and pharmacokinetics of intravenous (IV) and oral AZT administration to HIV-1 infected pregnant women in the 3rd trimester, as well as the safety and efficacy of such treatment in their newborns.
It is hoped that the results will be instrumental in designing future studies to assess the efficacy of AZT in reducing the transmission risk of HIV-1.
AMENDED: For the pharmacokinetic and safety study of AZT during labor and in the newborn infants, women who were screened and have consented are included in this part of the study. 6 mother-infant pairs without a history of intravenous drug abuse and 4 pairs with such a history are evaluated. The mother receives an infusion of AZT over 1 hour followed by continuous infusion of AZT for at least 4 hours until delivery. Pharmacokinetic data is collected on all patients including those who deliver before receiving 4 hours of AZT infusion.
AMENDED: The trial will proceed as described above except that the first 2 methadone patients enrolled will receive half the AZT dose given to the non-methadone patients. Results will be evaluated before dosing of additional methadone-use patients is done. Original design: Following evaluation, patients receive one intravenous dose of AZT over a 1-hour period. One day later, patients begin taking AZT capsules 5 times a day by mouth for the remaining weeks prior to labor.
During labor, patients continue to receive AZT intravenously every 4 hours until they deliver their babies. Blood and urine tests are made to measure the amounts of AZT in the mother's and, after delivery, the baby's body fluids. AZT is stopped after the baby has been delivered. The initial enrollment is six women with no history of intravenous drug abuse plus another four women with a history of intravenous drug use, who have been receiving methadone maintenance therapy. These women are not required to have a negative urine toxicology screen for illicit drugs to enter the study.

Did not discuss alliance with Karunanidhi: Azad
Chennai, Jan 9 (IANS) Union Health Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad Thursday said he did not discuss an electoral alliance with DMK president M.Karunanidhi in their meeting here.
"This is a courtesy call. There was no discussion about alliance," the senior Congress leader told reporters after the meeting at the DMK leader's residence.
Azad said alliance matters would be planned only when the elections are near.
This is the first time that Azad is meeting Karunanidhi after DMK exited the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government last year, expressing dissatisfaction at the manner in which the central government was handling the Sri Lankan Tamils issue.
Further at the DMK's general council meeting last month, Karunanidhi had categorically said that his party will not align with Congress in the ensuing Lok Sabha polls.

Virginia Tech athletic director Jim Weaver does not employ search firms and keeps his own counsel. So just because a colleague, commissioner or coach calls to recommend a job candidate doesn't mean that man or woman rockets to the top of Weaver's short list.
Nor does it guarantee a phone call, interview or shred of consideration.
That said, it is interesting to consider whom various people are stumping for in the Hokies' basketball coaching search. Surely there are many more, but here are three of whom I'm certain.
And you can bet that if they have people making calls on their behalf, they're interested in the job.
LOYOLA'S JIMMY PATSOS: Given the Greyhounds' 1-27 finish the season before his 2004 arrival, their 122-123 record in his eight seasons isn't as pedestrian as it appears. Moreover, his team was 24-9 this year and won the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference championship, earning the program's first NCAA bid since 1994 – Loyola (Md.) lost to Ohio State.
A 1989 graduate of Catholic University in Washington, D.C., Patsos spent 13 years on Gary Williams' Maryland staff, a tenure that included 11 NCAA appearances and the 2002 national championship.
Like Williams and deposed Hokies coach Seth Greenberg, Patsos is a bit of a sideline showman, witness this gem from a 2008 game against Liberty and Seth Curry. How Patsos' demeanor would affect his chances is uncertain.
Patsos' bio is here.
EASTERN MICHIGAN'S ROB MURPHY: The Eagles were 14-18 this season, but low expectations and their 9-7Mid-American Conference record earned Murphy conference coach of the year honors in his rookie season.
Murphy spent the previous seven years assisting Jim Boeheim at Syracuse. He was a high school coach in his native Detroit, an assistant at Kent State and played at Central State of Ohio, from where he graduated in 1996.
Here are links to his bio and website.
OHIO STATE ASSOCIATE HEAD COACH DAVE DICKERSON: His only head-coaching experience, five seasons at Tulane, ended in 2010 with a 68-84 record. But his challenge there increased 10-fold after Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans less than three months before his debut.
Dickerson is a former Maryland assistant and player. After his 1990 graduation, he worked as an assistant at Gardner-Webb, James Madison and Radford. So he knows the New River Valley, the state of Virginia and the ACC.
His bio is here.
Again, these are just names on the radar. In fact, I'd guess none is Weaver's eventual choice. Stay tuned for more.

Class: Heavy Unit
Move: +/-56 (varies)Erf-b1-p046a
Special: Flight, Breath Weapon, Mount
Proposed Canon
A dwagon is a non-humanoid flying Unit with a strong melee combat capacity (via teeth, claws and tail) as well as a ranged projectile (typically a breath weapon). A dwagon can be mounted by a rider,Erf-b1-p003Erf-b1-p006Erf-b1-p031 and can carry a passenger in addition.Erf-b1-p041Erf-b1-p116 They are described as "big, scaly, flying lizards with lots of teeth and a bad attitude".Erf-b1-p026 They are only known to be popped at Gobwin Knob, but they also occur as a "wild" unit. Wild units pop randomly, with dwagons in the Minty Mountains popping with a probability of about 1 in 200 for any given hexErf-b1.5-p035. Presumably wild dwagon can be seen flying in the distance on the very first page.
Dwagons can be "plated" (armored, like horse barding). It is unclear how this is done: Fabrication, randomly when popped, a shmucker-costing upgrade, etc. It is also unknown whether it is a permanent or temporary upgrade, or if the plating can be moved from one dwagon to another, or whether it is in fact a natural shell which individual dwagons can grow upon reaching a certain level.
Level three and above Cities of Gobwin Knob can Pop most types of dwagons.WoT-6051503 As of now, no other types are known.
Dwagons are incapable of carrying Heavy units as seen when Parson orders a yellow Dwagon to let him mount it only to fall slowly to the ground.
First Appearance
Known Dwagon Users
So far the only side known to use Dwagons is the Gobwin Knob faction led by Stanley the Tool, though it has been implied that there are other sides also capable of using them. It is repeatedly stated that he controls them through the use of the Arkenhammer. But they can be tamed without it as Jillian demonstrates by offering a feral one the bodies of several high elves to feed on.

Additional Information
Some evidence suggests that they may also come in 'armored' and 'unarmored' varieties, or maybe have armor made for them by Natural Dollamancy. Erf-b1.5-p032
There are no more black / brown dragons in Erfworld. The story is that during a dramatic story moment in The Order of The Stick Elven mage Vaarsuvius cast an epic spell which wiped out a quarter of all black dragons... which included all of Erfworld's black dragons. Yes, the spell cast by Vaarsuvius was that powerful.
For the purposes of printing the Erfworld books all black / brown dragons were Retconjured to purple.

MACON, Ga. (AP) - June 13, 2013 --Authorities say an early-morning fire swept through a duplex in central Georgia, killing a mother and three of her daughters.
Fire officials say the blaze was reported shortly after 2 a.m. Thursday in Macon. The Telegraph of Macon reports that the first firefighters to arrive were able to rescue a man and two teenage boys.
Bibb County Coroner Leon Jones says fire crews found the bodies while fighting the flames.
Jones identified the victims as 36-year-old Jennifer Caffee; 13-year-old Elizabeth Caffee and 5-year-old Holly Tucker. Also killed was 10-year-old Wendy Chapman, who had cerebral palsy and used a wheelchair.
The 38-year-old man and two teenage boys were taken to a hospital.
Jones says investigators found no evidence of working smoke detectors in the house.

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the '"the word golden"' tag.
Can I just say? The word "golden" takes the prize for Laziest Word in Recipe Writing. And I say that as someone who has written "golden" into her own recipes, any number of iniquitous times.
I know, I know, what else are you going to call it? Without "golden" and its even more indispensable cousin, "golden-brown," how can we describe the seared skin of the chicken, the crust of the biscuit, the luminous hue of the caramelized onion? Without Mr. Maillard and his golden footprint, where would we be? We might as well pack it in and convert to an all-raw diet.
No question, we need our golden food. But we need a new word – or better, lots of new words. There is almost nothing I like less in a recipe than seeing these three words: "fry until golden". Sweet Jesus, what is that supposed to mean?! Never mind that "fry" means all sorts of different things in all sorts of different contexts. But "golden"! It could mean anything from a straw-colored roux to a daisy-yellow legal pad to a burnt-amber cork. To sum up, "golden" means "Cook it till it looks appetizing and you want to eat it. You know what I mean, don't you? Good! now I don't have to explain."
Almost as bad is, "Fry until golden, about X minutes". Firepower is different on every combination of range, burner, and cooking vessel. Without knowing what kind of golden you're aiming for, a time estimate is pretty meaningless too. You might as well just go ahead and scale the Everest of vagueness: "Cook till done."
OK, realistically, we're not going to do away with "golden". But let's face it, the word is inadequate. How about we just use it as a starting point? Tell me what kind of gold – burnished gold? dull gold? brand-new-Sacagawea-dollar-gold? bronze? mottled? pale? Better yet, give me other sensory cues – should I wait till the protein releases from the pan? till the tofu squeaks? till the onions begin to stick? till the edges of the loaf pull away from the mold? Give me something to work with – I'm dyin' here!
Of course, a good cook is a good cook, and even the worst-written recipe is not going to make a good cook produce a bad meal. Still, why not aim high? Why not use our gloriously rich language, so diverse in origin, so blessed in synonyms, so accommodating of nuance and simile? Remember, every time you coin a metaphor, an English teacher earns his wings!
Next time: my thoughts on coarse meal. As in "pulse until the mixture resembles coarse meal. " Duck and cover!

College Sports Roundup: Keene State's Howe earns 500th coaching victory
April 19. 2013 3:56AM
The Keene State College Owls made sure baseball coach Ken Howe got his 500th win on Thursday.
Keene State pounded out 13 hits en route to a 15-5 non-conference victory over Fitchburg State, giving Howe the magic milestone. Howe, in his 27th season, is 500-470-9, joining a group of 34 active Division III baseball coaches who have won 500 or more career games.
"It means I'm old. I've been here a while" said Howe, when asked to reflect. "There are a lot of losses that go with those 500 wins, but it's a dream of mine to be doing this. I'm very luck to be a Keene kid and have the opportunity to do this in my hometown."
A freshman member of the team, son Dustin Howe, got into the game and was abile to be a part of his father's big day.
The Owls, 14-16, received big hits from Ian Seawards and Brett Dootson. Seawards, of Dover, doubled and scored in the first inning, then added a two-run double in the fifth. Dootson doubled and scored in the first inning, then added a three-run double in the second.
Women's tennis
SNHU 5, Adelphi 2: At Manchester, the top-seeded Penman won their Northeast-10 semifinal match against No. 4 Adelphi and will host second-seeded Stonehill for the league title on Saturday at 1 p.m.

Product 4/4
Perennial Peanut Seed (Arachis Pintoi) - Perennial Peanut is an attractive, low maintenance ground cover that blooms bright yellow flowers from spring to first-frost. This drought-tolerant, hardy perennial requires little or no supplemental water after it is established. In the drought conditions we are now facing, perennial peanut is an excellent choice as an alternative ground cover for lawns, golf courses and pastures. It is the same genus as the peanuts that we eat, however perennial peanut produces only a very small pod and a tiny seed.
Since this variety of peanut produces so few seeds, propagation of the plant is generally done by its rhizomes. These rhizomes (underground stems) are dug up and planted in another location. Perennial Peanut was introduced into Florida in the 1930's and originated in South America. The plant is becoming popular by commercial companies as ground cover in many areas. The perennial is considered environmentally friendly because of its high tolerance to Florida's climate (even in drought conditions) and resistance to disease, insects and nematodes. In addition, because it is a legume, it requires no additional nitrogen fertilizer and has the ability to improve phosphorus availability in the soil that it lives in.
Ornamental perennial peanut is being tested in many areas, including the University of Florida, as a substitute for the water loving turf that has been used in the past. It grows in sunny and partially shaded areas. Because of its underground rhizomes it is also ideal for stabilizing soil on inclines, around culverts and other structures. Studies by the University of Florida have shown that for best results, perennial peanut should be planted from January through March. However, even when planted during the other months, the plant survived and established itself. Planting in the first few months of the year will simply allow the peanut to establish roots faster. In addition, the study concluded that a 1.5 inch cutting height every 4 weeks is the ideal mowing schedule to allow the turf to flourish. Perennial peanut grows best in full sun. It persists in a variety of well-drained soil types and does well in the deep sands of Florida. Land preparation should begin during summer prior to a winter planting to allow time for both chemical and mechanical weed control to be effective. If perennial broadleaf weeds or grasses persist, a herbicide such as glyphosate should be considered to eradicate this problem prior to first frost. (University of Florida)
Even though perennial peanut is not native to Florida, since it doesn't reproduce by seed, it cannot be carried and spread by animals or wind. Therefore, it is not considered "invasive" and can be managed in the area in which it is planted. Rhizome perennial peanut has several potential advantages in the managed landscape. As its name implies, perennial peanut is long-lived and doesn't require replanting once established. The end result of choosing perennial peanut as groundcover for your lawn is savings in water, energy, dollars, and reduced impacts to the environment. It is not only beneficial to the environment since it requires no supplemental nitrogen or phosphorus fertilization or pest control, but it also is aesthetically pleasing, can be walked on, and has edible, peanut flavored flowers. Please be advised that squirrels love to eat this seed!
Seed Rate: 1 lb. per 1000 sq. ft.
Seed Depth: 1/2 - 3/4 inch
Planting Time: Spring for best results. (65 degree soil temps)
Scientific Name: Arachis Pintoi
Inoculant Required: EL Type/Garden Combo

Priests for Life Outreach-Staten Island, NY
Staten Island, NY – Leaders of Priests for Life, the largest network of clergy and lay people dedicated to ending abortion, reacted today to statements by a Sianwassee County, Michigan, prosecutor that James Pouillon was killed by a man who was upset at Mr. Pouillon's pro-life activism.
"James Pouillon today joined the approximately 4,000 other victims who will be killed today because of abortion," said Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life. "The taking of all innocent lives must stop. I call on the leaders of the so called 'pro-choice' movement to condemn this killing and to consider all of the people who lose their lives to abortion every single day."
"Mr. Pouillon was known as the 'sign guy' because he had the courage to show people what abortion really is," said Janet Morana, Priest for Life's Executive Director. "This brutal murder will not deter pro-lifers from continuing to expose the horror of what abortion does, not just to the baby who loses his life, but also to the mother who lives with the truth of abortion the rest of her life."
"In the Fifties and Sixties, people lost their lives to secure the civil rights of those victimized by discrimination," added Dr. Alveda King, Pastoral Associate of Priests for Life and niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. "Now, James Pouillon has lost his life in the civil rights cause of the 21st Century, the struggle to protect the right to life of every single person, born and unborn. Mr. Pouillon has not died in vain; the struggle will only be renewed because of his courage and sacrifice."

November 23, 2012 — RBC has made a cumulative donation of more than $1 million to Wellspring, a supportive centre for individuals and families battling cancer since 1993. In honour of RBC's contributions, Wellspring has named the main programming space at their new headquarters facility in Toronto, Ontario after RBC Foundation.
"We are particularly honoured to receive this recognition given the vital role that Wellspring plays in helping those in our communities affected by cancer," said Ms. Fukakusa. "Since 1993, RBC has worked with Wellspring to create a variety of free educational and informational programs, and this new centre will ensure Wellspring is equipped to provide the necessary support for patients and their families who are dealing with the everyday realities of cancer."
Every day you get up and go to work, your mind focused on the task at hand. You assume you'll be healthy enough to complete your day-to-day tasks. But what if one morning, that reality changed? One of the biggest challenges patients diagnosed with a serious illness encounter is the financial challenges that stem from a health crisis. Do you have a plan in place?
No matter what the illness, a diagnosis causes a number of serious challenges, including the potential for a prolonged absence from work. To help navigate through the maze of income replacement programs, resources like the Wellspring 'Money Matters' program, funded by RBC, can help.
"Through the 'Money Matters' program we help diagnosed cancer patients navigate the system and find the financial solutions that work the best for their needs," said Pamela Bowes, Wellspring program manager and developer of the 'Return to Work' Program. "Many patients have recounted how stressful a cancer diagnosis was, and how money worries were even more stressful."
Money Matters is a specialized resource that gives cancer patients the tools they need to identify and apply for government programs, understand long-term disability benefits, deal with legal and tax issues and use their financial resources effectively when dealing with a cancer diagnosis. The program has been so successful, Wellspring has been called upon to educate hospital social workers, community agencies and other professionals.
"Reports have shown that most people lack the skills or knowledge to access the income programs they're entitled to. Applications forms are complex and challenging, and the bureaucracy can be daunting," said Pamela. "We know that we only pay attention to things when it matters to us. Most people we meet at Wellspring didn't think an illness would result in a financial tumble."
If you're thinking about planning for a rainy day, here are five important things to remember:
In 1924, RBC developed our first budget book, the first of many money management tools created to help clients organize their finances. In the years since, RBC has continued to promote financial literacy - an understanding about credit, debt and savings - to clients, prospective clients and the public at large. We offer a number of financial literacy tools including:

Which is the best beast to upgrade? Going through my list of beasts, it seems like a rough decision to make. Are there any beasts you turn to on a regular basis? I do on my very first snake, which was an adder, who is 25 now. Just seems like a waste of a battle stone.
Thanks for any insight!

The first Tegra 4 devices have just started shipping this month, but NVIDIA is ready to tantalize their fans with what next year will bring with Tegra 5 and the mobile Kepler GPU inside. This isn't the first time we are hearing about mobile Kepler, this Battlefield 3 demo back in April showed what Tegra 5 and mobile Kepler were capable of, but they are now running from a reference design tablet.
Mobile Kepler is notable for utilizing the same architecture as NVIDIA's full-blown desktop/laptop GPU, Kepler. It offers support for OpenGL 4.4, Open GL ES 3.0 and DirectX 11. This provides some new tools for mobile developers that will enable them to deliver visuals that are far closer to that of a current PC than previously possible. If you watched the NVIDIA keynote at CES 2013 you might remember the Ira demo which is a rendering of a human head with shifting facial expressions. That demo was done with a full GeForce Titan GTX GPU, but the sample below as you will see is running on mobile Kepler.
Their second demo is rendering a small island and illustrates the benefits that tessellation brings graphically, delivering up to 10x the detail than would otherwise be possible.
Again we are just starting to see Tegra 4 devices shipping and of course NVIDIA's own Tegra 4 hardware, SHIELD, will be shipping in just 7 days, but glimpses at the next generation are always exciting and I have to say mobile Kepler really does sound like a leap rather than a step forward. It's been noted that NVIDIA doesn't seem to have quite the same toehold in Android that they did last year, but remember that they announced last month that they will be licensing Kepler to mobile manufacturers which could have huge ramifications for them in 2014.
One other interesting, if not surprising, note from NVIDIA was that Tegra 5 could power the next SHIELD which would indicate that device will be refreshed approximately once a year along with the newest chipset just as Ouya has stated they are planning to do with their console. Gamers are accustomed to a longer timeline than that for upgraded console hardware so I'm unsure how that will sit with them.
What do you think of NVIDIA's prospects for 2014?

BRUSSELS (AP) — Which side of this week's debate on the European Union budget a country takes can depend largely on which side its bread is buttered.
Those that contribute more to the EU than they get back generally want to hold the line on the organization's budget — or even see spending fall. Those who receive more money than they put in tend to support a robust rise, if at all possible — and regard possible cuts with dread.
The leaders of the 27 EU member countries descended on Brussels on Thursday to duke it out over the next two, three or even four days regarding the EU's budget trajectory over the seven years from 2014-2020. And, for whatever reason, the philosophies expressed often correlate closely with the money involved.
Each of the EU's 27 national leaders can veto the budget plan. With such diametrically opposed philosophies — and with real money at stake — whether they will be able to reach a consensus is anybody's guess.
Here's a look at the two main camps:
Many of those countries that contribute more to the EU budget than they take away are fighting increases in spending, claiming it's wasteful, inefficient, and inappropriate to boost the EU's spending when national budgets are being cut.
Leading the would-be budget-cutters is British Prime Minister David Cameron, whose country is, not coincidentally, one of the largest net contributors to the EU budget, second only to Germany.
"At a time when we're making difficult decisions at home over public spending, it would be quite wrong — it is quite wrong — for there to be proposals for this increased, extra spending in the EU," Cameron said Thursday.
A number of other net contributors — Germany, Finland, Austria, Finland and the Netherlands, for example — share more or less the same philosophy.
Other countries, most of which get more money from out of the EU than they put in, argue that the union's budget is the best instrument to help the region emerge from the financial crisis. A strong budget, they claim, is the best way to support investment, growth and jobs. Even countries that are net contributors to the EU benefit from its spending in the other countries, they say — not least because the poorer members will then buy more of the richer member's exports.
Fifteen EU countries have joined together to form the Friends of Cohesion Policy, taking the name from the EU's "cohesion funds," which are intended to help the union hold together by investing in poorer areas so that the gap between the haves and have-nots becomes narrower. The EU countries in the group are: Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Estonia, Greece, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia and Spain.
"Better spending does not rhyme with no spending," said Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, whose country is a major net recipient of EU money. In fact, all 15 members of the Friends of Cohesion Policy turn out to be net recipients.

The blogger who goes only by JayMan is a food blogger like any other, except for one thing. He only reviews one restaurant.
"The first time I went to Jay's Noodle House in Alhambra, I was blown away. I was like, how could this little hole-in-the-wall have such great noodles."
Since that time, JayMan has reviewed nearly every one of the 47 dishes on the Taiwanese Noodle House's menu. (He doesn't favor eggplant, so he is missing a couple of dishes on that account). His popular blog also reports on staff changes, decor, some of the regular customers and other news from the restaurant.
"One of my biggest scoops was when Hsin Jr. started working exclusively lunch shifts. I think I had it up and posted before he even made the switch. I was also the first to report when they switched to shorter hours for two weeks back in August when the owners went back to Taiwan."
The owners of Jay's, while they appreciate his business, seem somewhat bemused by all of the attention.
"I think he is a very strange man," said owner Hsin Yu-Shan. "I put up a new picture or sweep the back room and he puts it on his blog. I think he needs to get a real job or something."
Jay shrugs off comments like this as well as the odd stares he sometimes gets from the restaurant's patrons.
"Hey, I've got to be true to me," he says.
When asked if he would ever blog about different restaurants, he is indignant.
"The internet is full of people posting about all sorts of restaurants and cuisines they know almost nothing about. I may only post about one place, but I am the world expert about that place."

1. Forget about inevitability – uncertainty rules in the Hex: The first matchday saw three stellar goals in Panama City and San Pedro Sula, two favorites fall to unexpected results and one down-and-out side engineer an unexpected two-goal comeback. May this sort of intrigue and upheaval persist through the next nine rounds. If history provides a reliable indicator, then it may just do so.
2. Sputtering favorites have little to fear: Inquisitions started in Mexico and the U.S. after poor results to start the Hex. Those temporary setbacks – a home draw with Jamaica and an away defeat in Honduras, respectively – may inspire some vigorous debate and prompt some internal deliberations about the proper course. They won't disrupt the path to Brazil, though. Both sides simply possess too much talent to miss out on the World Cup given the strength of the opposition. No amount of handwringing will fix the first result or stop either of these sides from claiming one of the three guaranteed berths out of this region.
3. Honduras can take a large step toward Brazil in March: The home victory over the U.S. leaves the Hondurans in a wonderful spot. If they can replicate their recent success against the Mexicans in San Pedro Sula on March 22 (and perhaps snatch a draw in Panama City four days later), then the path to a second consecutive World Cup berth is fairly clear. In this tight group, home dominance over the heavyweights could provide the difference.
4. Ruiz and Saborío vital to Costa Rica's chances: This isn't a vintage Costa Rican outfit. The defense isn't particularly strong. The midfield isn't particularly dynamic or firm. But Jorge Luis Pinto's side will always have a chance with Bryan Ruiz and Álvaro Saborío in the side. Both players scored – though that word hardly does justice to Ruiz's overhead kick to equalize in the late stages – to salvage a 2-2 draw in Panama City. Similar heroics could help the Costa Ricans navigate through this minefield and seal a place in the top four.
5. Jamaica can finally lean on its discipline and its organization: Theodore Whitmore deserves ample credit for the work he has done with this group. The recent integration of several players from England – including the seemingly crucial Jobi McAnuff – could have disturbed the team chemistry and disrupted the solid shape displayed in the semifinal round. A 0-0 draw at the Azteca shows this group of players possesses the potential to upset the low expectations heading into the Hex. Now they must maintain this level of application and polish off a few of those chances in front of goal to ensure the result in Mexico City supplies a platform for further success.

When we first saw the color red re-emerge as an "it color" over a year ago, in the Fall/Winter 2010 collections, it made a big impact on the runways. Now, here we are in summer 2011 and it still looks as fresh and chic as ever, especially paired with the other "it color" beige. You've probably noticed red skinny jeans making a huge splash this spring, either on the street or in editorials. They sure do make you stop and stare (in a good way). Just look at model, Dewi Driegen in her skinny red jeans. Hot, hot, hot. If that's not your cup of tea, what about trying a flirty skirt, a la Giovanna Battaglia, a fire-engine red handbag like Audrey or a summer-weight blazer. The lipstick shade of red brings a spotlight to wherever you put it, so be prepared for some attention.
If you're the kind of woman to ZIG, when other women ZAG, then this picture of Elisa Nalin will win your heart over. She is decidedly wearing green and looks smashing doing so (and those deep purple shoes are soooo cool).
Pull out your red (or green) and inspire a little heat of your own this week!

Shortly before 10:00pm ET on Thursday, Twitter users began complaining of unusual photos appearing in their timelines.
"Almost all pics are getting replaced by some weird Benghazi Libya/US flag bloody hand image," tweeted user @Eledhril.
A quick search for related tweets pulled up more than 20 complaints about the same mysterious image. Users described it as a "bloody hand" and "disturbing picture of American flag" with a message "about Libya on September 11th."
The photo, as tweeted by users, shows the names of the four Americans killed on September 11, 2012 in Libya. President Obama's campaign logo can be seen as part of an American flag, where this hand wipes blood.
Sam Laird, a writer for social media blog Mashable, also noticed a strange photo accompanying a tweeted story; a story that was unrelated to September 11th or Libya. As you can see in the photo, the thumbnail alongside the article's headline shows, what Laird called, "a demon tattoo photo."
CNBC.com reached out to Twitter to ask if the social networking site was the victim of an attack. A spokeswoman responded with a question of her own, inquiring if these photos are still showing in users' timelines. Apparently, this may have been news to the company.
In a subsequent email, Twitter told CNBC.com that this odd display of thumbnails and photos was the result of "a bug." This wouldn't be the first bug in recent months, as Twitter experienced an outage in June after the site was affected by the infamous "cascaded bug."
Earlier on Thursday, Twitter was thought to have been hacked after the site reset some users' passwords.
Did computer hackers take advantage of this new "bug" to push Libya-related photos onto users? CNBC.com will continue to update this story as we learn more.

It is no use complaining to liner companies about delayed ships, says Otto Schacht, VP and head of global ocean freight solutions at Kuehne+Nagel, in an interview with ShippingWatch. "It doesn't help," he says. Schedule reliability is currently at a record-low.
As a customer, the current scenario with delayed container ships, which according to several surveys is only getting worse, is just something one has to accept, says Kuehne+Nagel, which as one of the world's biggest freight forwarders depends daily on the service provided by container carriers.
2018 has so far been characterized by severe unreliability in the container transport sector, which according to Schacht, VP and head of global ocean freight solutions, has not improved with the creation of the new alliances so far. In fact, the opposite.
Kuehne+Nagel's experiences confirm the trend recently reported by analyst firm SeaIntel, that roughly one in three container ships do not arrive on time.
We could complain to the carriers about it, but we don't because we know that it is useless to do"
"The current level of reliability is a problem and that's why a lot of customers come to us and ask us to help them manage their supply chains instead of the customer dealing with one trade responsible carrier where there are issues," says Schacht.
It is not the first time this year that Kuehne+Nagel comments on this topic to ShippingWatch. Back in March, Paolo Montrone, the group's senior VP and global head of trade, similarly noted that unreliable cargoes strain carriers' schedule reliability .
Even though Schacht sees the decreasing reliability this year as a problem, he says that there is not much to do about it as a customer and user of a certain service.
"We could complain to the carriers about it, but we don't because we know that it is useless to do. We have to accept it and we know what the answer would be if we did complain," says Schacht:
"For instance that the carriers don't have enough vessels in to service or they have rescheduled because of the alliances. Complaining doesn't help."
Kuehne+Nagel CEO: Container industry has a problem
He adds that the liner companies already know where there are problems with schedule reliability, and that they are constantly looking at the situation to make adjustments.
The latter was the case when the 2M alliance between Maersk Line and MSC changed its route network plan for Asia-North Europe in an effort to improve reliability.
In order to be able to document the scope of delays, Kuehne+Nagel has begun to analyze the situation and to measure its suppliers' reliability.
Unlike SeaIntel, which compares the world's biggest liner companies directly against each other, the freight forwarder instead looks at the individual services, which according to Schacht gives Kuehne+Nagel a better operating basis.

On December 1, 2009, Forrester Research announced the acquisition of Strategic Oxygen from Monitor. Strategic Oxygen provides marketing professionals with data to help target marketing campaigns more effectively. While of interest to Technology Product Management & Marketing Professionals, it will be a separately-priced offering and not included in that RoleView.
This acquisition is of little interest to analyst relations (AR) teams as Strategic Oxygen does not track IT or telecommunications markets nor does it advise enterprise technology buyers on products from vendors like Accenture, Cisco, IBM, or SAP.
In a case of bad luck from a publicity point-of-view, Forrester announced the acquisition on the same day that Gartner acquired AMR Research. The Gartner acquisition overshadowed the Forrester announcement, but that does not mean that Forrester's M&A move is less significant. Rather, it provides important insights into Forrester's strategy.
The first insight is that M&A continues to be an ongoing tool for Forrester even though it has been quiet on that front since the JupiterResearch acquisition in July 2008. Forrester is sitting on approximately a quarter-billion in cash, cash equivalents, and short term investments. It also generates very good cash flow from operations so it definitely has the resources for an aggressive M&A strategy. Forrester simply takes a conservative approach to M&A to ensure a high level of success.
The second insight is that Forrester continues to look beyond the IT organization. Forrester did not have a significant presence in the IT organization prior to closing its acquisition of Giga in early 2003. The Giga acquisition gave it a substantial footprint in the IT organization, likely making it the number two end user advisory firm after Gartner. While Forrester's end-user clients provide a steady revenue stream, it has done its recent primary investment in expanding its services for marketing professionals with the acquisitions of JupiterResearch and Strategic Oxygen.
The third insight is that Forrester continues to appreciate the value of data. Because of the leverageable nature of data – create once, sell multiple times – data can be a high margin business. Forrester takes a different approach with its data business in that it does not count boxes like a market research firm. For example IDC generates IT and telecommunication market share numbers, which are useful primarily to product marketers in technology companies. Forrester, on the other hand, creates numbers that are useful for marketing professionals inside and out of technology. Their Consumer Technographics is an example.
A fourth insight is that Forrester is continuing a pricing and packaging approach that pushes á la carte pricing with an increasing number of separately-priced services instead of the basic "all you can eat buffet" approach of the old WholeView model.
Insight number five is that Forrester likes acquisitions that have relatively little overlap with its existing research and services. JupiterResearch was an exception as it did overlap with what Forrester already offered. However, social media is such a hot topic Forrester acquired JupiterResearch to expand its offerings quickly just to keep up with demand.
The last insight is that Forrester likes acquisitions whose services can be immediately sold through its existing sales channel. This allows them to quickly monetize the new offerings without extensive sales training.
SageCircle Technique:
- Clients and prospects should evaluate each analyst firm acquisition and new service offering carefully to determine what is the true business value of the incremental service
- Analyst firm M&A activity may change the analyst ecosystem enough to require a review of AR teams list of relevant analysts. Periodic review of analyst lists is always important, but an acquisition might accelerate the need.
Bottom Line: Members of the analyst ecosystem should plan on Forrester (and other firms) making additional smart acquisitions. Depending on what your role is – competitor, vendor AR, enterprise client – the impact on your plans will be different as Forrester's moves will affect each group differently.
Question: What do you think of Forrester's latest acquisition?
