New GTA 5 street gangs and police info revealed.
Cant wait ,day1, a good way to finish this gen.
you just crammed in all the most basic, cliche comments without reading the article, just to be first >_>
Commenting what's on mind isnt cliche, and i did read the article, when it was in pending , and no its not to be first .
Wow even replying back sounds the same when typing back to people, i read it like you were kirk lmao
lol how did you know he didn't read the article . Are you psychic? or are you just mad because you didn't get the first comment? SMH
By accident I have escaped the cops a few times by doing this in Sleeping Dogs.
I just make the cops follow me to some gangs territory and then they start shooting the cops and distract them from me, and I'm free! Its also part of a side quest(or main mmission?) in Sleeping Dogs.
Good feature to have in GTA:V.
I'd personally want the GTA Chinatown Wars Wanted System in a console title. I like crashing cops to lower the rating over just outrunning them. I loved some of the mission where you play chicken with the river and crash cops or bump them onto ramps & gas stations. Such an epic DS title. Hope they make another.
At least what he says can be considered true for the majority.
Don't know what crawled up your ass and died.
We all know the 1.1th comment gets the true glory on N4G.
You jealous or something?
Between this and The Last of Us, I can't decide what my personal GoTY will be...
Better have a few goty games.. Mine were the last of us, bioshock and metal gear risng, for now.
Maybe you'll have a better idea after you actually play the game. lol
this year all sites and VGA must make a 2x GOTY award
so those TLOU and GTAV get it
(if GTAV is truly awesome game like RDR)
Trying to decide if GTA V is GOTY without playing it...?
GTA V took 5 years to make and i'll be playing it for months.
TLou deserved every one of it's 100% metascores, but I beat TLoU in a couple of days. It was fantastic. Loved it. Multiplayer was above and beyond expectations.
Very grateful Naughty Dog brought back survival horror in style, but as long as Rockstar's multiplayer doesnt have any hiccups or cause a bunch of console freezes I dont see it even being a contest.
In terms of quality they're both top tier. But what makes GTA V stand above TLou will be the scale. Because pushing quantity usually reduces quality, but Rockstar nails both with their games with all the time they spend on them. Think of it like this. If you had 2 kids you can only send them to college for 50k a year, but if you only had 1 kid you could send them to a college for 100k a year. Thats kinda how it is since ND does both uncharted and tlou in the time rockstar does gta v. they get to focus more love and attention on it.
Kinda relates to the whole kickstarter problem double fine is having. They initially wanted to make a quality game for 425k. Tey got 3 million so they upped the game content, but they made too much game and didnt do enough polish so now its being released as beta to be finished in a final version or something.
I dont like comparing Naughty Dog and Rockstar though. They're both the best of the best. COmparing one game here or one game there is bullshit. They both have amazing records and neither have ever let me down.
Maybe playing them both will help you decide. Crazy I know, but worth a shot.
Even Brody, who has a picture of Cartman when he was like "what eva! I do what I want!"
is telling you that you are shit-posting. That's gotta tell you something.
Wow, can't wait to use my homies to get away :3
some days N4G users love me, some days they hate me. Owell :o
Looks like they hate you all days judging by your disagrees. Besides they come here to talk about games, not you.
I could care less about ya, I want GTA. One word for that game: SOLD
It's because you pull the asshole routine when someone's comment doesn't beef up to your dick size.
People disagree for the sake of doing it. Very rarely are they truly disagreeing with someone.
@zombie , wow . that was pretty rude lol.
I could care less about you, or some pixels that form into the letters that spell out "disagree (X)"
Just pointing out how some disagrees aren't really deserved.
Grow up friend.
Oh and P.s. they love me most days. Not sure where you found evidence that they "hate me all days" lmao.
Pretty simple concept.
People show you the same respect you show them. Of course there are always those rogue disagree'ers that will go against even the most factual of statements but most of yours are there because you treat people like shit.
Then you expect them to care about what you say, as if it is that much more important.
are these your homies?
Chet- Sorry if I was rude....I'll be nicer this time. PLEASE KINDLY pull your head out of your ass and realize people visit this site to check gaming news, not comment on you. I don't know you and don't care to, I'm simply basing my opinion on what people think of you by what I see- which is you commenting about yourself, and people giving you attention because of it. Might as well start calling you "Tameem"
Maybe if you were cool with people they would be cool with you.
I hope it's going to be a bit like GTA chinatown wars.
Instead of just fleeing, you destroy the cops and their cars and then flee.
It was faster, more agressive and just more fun!
I gotta disagree with that. Playing GTA like this would be like playing a MGS game rambo-style.
You can definitely get through the game like that but intense car chases are just so much more fun imo
I hope the police system in general is better then in GTA4, we can all agree that most of the time when playing SA it was nice to get a 6 star wanted to take on the police especially when the army got involved but in GTA4 you had that horrible system where if you stayed in doors long enough, waiting for a massive shootout the star system would slowly go down and not stay on the highest wanted level for very long.
I hope we can buy off cops like in Sons of anarchy
lost and the damned, though Sons of anarchy is an awesome show
I am so hyped this needs to come out.
Don't get too hyped. I've learned my lesson from the past..
I believe every GTA so far has lived up to the hype, yes even GTA IV. So this isn't any different.
I wasn't a fan of GTA4 so i'll wait this one out untill I try it somewhere.
What the... GameStop nobody know did not tell me (......)
Think we might have to have gotyx2 this and the last of us, both will deserve it as much as the other...
nice one... But you could do this in all thee other gta's that had gangs
This going to be just another GTA game with a few new features. GTA4 has to be the most overrated game this gen.
I somewhat agree, it's a good game but it's definitely not as fun to play as San Andreas.
The more realism they add to this seems to make it boring, i mean GTA 3 i thought was dull and too serious, Vice City was much better and San Andreas got it right. Then it went dull again going to GTA 4.
That makes sense, because this is the generation where we hate the cops more than we hate criminals. Cops have become more criminalized themselves over the years. I'm sure GTAV will have some elements of police corruption, since LA/LS is notorious for it.
Guys theirs a petition i started for Mercenaries 3 so that EA can look at it and let a developer work on it. but N4G wouldnt let me submit it because petitions are not allowed here so how do i spread the word? i was hoping that the N4G community would want Merc 3 and would help me with signing it and raise awareness ! TY. I didnt put a link so this does not count as SPAM/ or petition im Just asking how can i submit and raise awareness so that my campaign would raise awareness easy.
cool essay bro.
Too long lol... People think its a spam or what ever ut all i want is to see and play Mercenaries 3! and it could compete with games such as ust cause and saints row ! please if your interested in siging PM me and ill give you the link!
I'm beginning to loose steam on GTA 5. Don't get me wrong. I love GTA (and all R* games) and I will eventually buy GTA5, but this whole silence of R* on GTA5 and not release of any darn new information has got me loose some interest. Plus, It is kinda disappointing for me to know that they are not going to release GTA5 for next-gen (at least they haven't said otherwise). If COD, AC4 etc. can release on current and next-gen, why can't GTA5? Its getting lame. I hope game is worth the 2year hype.
The word you are looking for is "lose" not loose. Sorry big pet peeve of mine.
Thanks for the spellcheck! Hope you've got the message.
good job with the essay man. even though i didn't read
Do you think they would be stupid enough to lose out on potential sales?
They are a business and they know full well that some people wont buy the game in Sept if its announced for the next gen consoles cause they will wait to get it on the new consoles which arent out in Sept. Which of course makes sense to a consumer to buy the game for the next gen console.
As they haven't announced a PC version (like Watch Dogs did) they know some will wait for the better platform to get the full experience with better visuals.
I completely understand why Rockstar is not announcing next gen versions they'll wait til the game has launched and sold what it will sale. After launch then they will announce the next gen and PC version. Bookmark this comment.
For example im not buying GTA 5 on the 360/PS3 as ill wait for the PC or PS4 version.
I get what you're saying, however the silence is for the good.
With me, it has helped me forget about it, not in a bad way but just so that I can actually wait for September. Last year I was going mad and couldn't wait. Now I'm patient and it's pre-ordered so I know it will arrive on Sep 17th.
I really don't want to have to play this on my crusty 360 or PS3, but can I wait for a PC or PS4 release?.
When is this likely to release on PC?
Maybe 6 months later, who knows. That's the one i'm waiting for, hopefully they don't screw up the multiplayer potential this time because 4's was bad and boring.
I want to have tons of players in a server.. maybe 64 at least, i mean we have 150-200+ in SA-MP which is awesome fun.. i think we can have 64+ no problem on the PC version, i just hope there are editable/scriptable game modes and complete freedom this time and not like 4 where its really restricted, it needs to use Steam and not GFWL again too.
I love the reputation system of GTA 2. I wish it would come back.
this feature of playing one against the other is something I wished was in the last of us. imagine luring hunters into a room of infected. or infected into soldiers. there were 3 groups of enemies, they really should have played on that a bit.
The top-down original GTA's had the best gang mechanics.
Its such a shame that i cant play this game when it comes out. I sold my Xbox long ago, if it does not come to PC i will cry..
@ joint, just buy a crappie $50 360 arcade or 4 gig slim off craiglist, play GTA 5 than re sell everything. That's what I did with Gears of War 3 and ended up making a profit off the system. Only $20 but hey.
Let's hope that this game has at least an option for free aiming only. Then, it would be fine. Also, the melee combat could be like sleeping dogs or batman arkham. Only reasons I never finished GTA IV.
Did they show GTA 5 at E3 playing on any platform
Nope. Rockstar did say they're going to reveal an actual gameplay video though. I mean, all their trailers are gameplay, but this time some actual footage of someone playing it. Can't wait.
I just want September to get here already so that November will come sooner. :/

Patient-centered health information technology (PCHIT) provides personalized electronic health IT to patients. Since provision of PCHIT entails handling of sensitive medical information, a special focus on security and privacy aspects is required. We present security and privacy requirements for patient-centered health IT applications and examine how security features of large-scale, inter-organizational health information technology networks, like the German health information technology infrastructure (HTI), can be utilized for ensuring privacy and security of PCHIT. Moreover, we illustrate additional security measures that complement the HTI security measures and introduce a guideline for provision of patient-centered health IT applications while ensuring security and privacy. Our elaborations lead to the conclusion that security features of health information technology networks can be used to create a solid foundation for protecting security and privacy in patient-centered health IT applications offered in public networks like the Internet.

Stole Your Nose! has some good advice, especially about sending out adequate applications. As a 1L, I sent out over 100 letters and got about 10 interviews.
Quote from: TheDudeMan on December 23, 2008, 06:18:53 AMYou are seriously going to Tulane in this economy with your numbers? You could likely get a full-ride to some T14 schools.....Is this a "where should I go" thread?
You are seriously going to Tulane in this economy with your numbers? You could likely get a full-ride to some T14 schools.....
I had a question, I asked it. Go F&#* yourself vap.
It was a good question, too, IMO.
Honestly, I think you guys are being over-optimistic about this guy's chances of landing a big firm through NALP and such, at a T2, in this economy. I would go for personal connections. These firms get literally hundreds of resumes. What special reason to they have to hire him?
i have my doubts as to whether there will be much BIGLAW! 1L hiring at even the top schools this year.
We'll see how happy you are with Tulane when your "hometown" lands you no jobs if you aren't in the top of your class.That's the reality of the legal profession, whether you choose to see it or remain delusional is up to you.

From The Bottom Up
It's been more than three decades since HIV/AIDS first hit the scene, cutting short the lives of more than 25 million people globally. For many in the LGBT community, that seems like no time at all. They still cope daily with the psychological scars left from losing their friends and lovers. For others, particularly the 20-to-35-year-old set, three decades is a bit too long. They missed the lessons from the disease's devastation and, thanks to medical advances, think of HIV as chronic but manageable rather than as a death sentence.
Despite some of our best efforts, we haven't quite licked this formidable foe. In fact, the Centers for Disease Control estimates that there are 50,000 new infections in the United States annually, the majority of which are men who have sex with men. Most of us are familiar with the large AIDS service organizations, but in honor of World AIDS Day, we thought we'd spotlight the important work some of the little guys are doing out in the community.
LET'S KICK ASS, San Francisco
What it is—A social networking group for San Francisco's long-term HIV/AIDS survivors (typically aged 50 and over).
Its beginnings—Let's Kick ASS (AIDS survivor syndrome) started earlier this year as a blog written by Tez Anderson, who, despite having successfully fought HIV for 30 years, began feeling depressed, anxious and detached from life. "As an AIDS survivor, I had dealt with death and illness and had prepared to die, but I wasn't prepared to live," he says. Turns out he wasn't alone.
Its mission—To build a community for long-term survivors. Anderson says that it's healing for people to come together and share their stories. "We are living in a future we never could've imagined," he says. "I'm trying to help people imagine it."
Its success story—With the power of Facebook, Anderson rounded up nearly 200 long-term survivors in San Francisco for the group's first town hall meeting. He's now getting requests from cities across the globe.
Its long-term goals—It's not only about harnessing the healing power of camaraderie—and just overall kicking ass. The group plans to psychologically profile long-term survivors. "We want to find out why some of them are more resilient and learn what it would take to make others more resilient," Anderson adds—an important task given that many more could face AIDS survivor syndrome. The CDC estimates that by 2015, half of Americans living with HIV will be 50-plus.

IMPULSE GROUP, Los Angeles
What it is—With funding from HIV/AIDS behemoth AIDS Healthcare Foundation, it's tough to call Impulse Group a grassroots organization, but it does function fairly autonomously, says founder and president Jose Ramos.
Its beginnings—Ramos saw the need for Impulse Group more than three years ago, when his best friend was diagnosed with HIV/AIDS. "He was engaging in risky behavior, believing this would not happen to him," Ramos says. "It was very eye-opening."
Its mission—Impulse Group regularly hosts events, both educational and social. "We love to make our events a production where people will come because they want to go to the event," says Ramos. "Our mission is that hopefully they will also gain something." Impulse Group has also hosted discussions on pre-exposure prophylaxis as well as the dynamics of relationships between serodiscordant partners.
Its biggest obstacles—Despite regularly deploying 300 to 350 advocates into clubs and social settings to discuss prevention, Ramos says there is still stigma and ignorance in the community. "There's a feeling that this will never happen to me," he says of their target demographic—20- to 35-year-olds.
Facing the critics—Impulse has been criticized for its risqué ads and for partnering with Grindr. "Why not partner with Grindr or certain events and clubs to get to the core of where a lot of these decisions—or lack of decisions—are actually happening?" Ramos counters.
Its success story—"When I first started the whole thing, I thought, 'Will people really care?'" Ramos says. His doubts were quashed after their first event had more than 400 people show up. Impulse is currently expanding its influence into Atlanta, Dallas and even India.

THE GAY AND LESBIAN COMMUNITY CENTER OF SOUTHERN NEVADA'S LGBTQ+ CAMPAIGN, Las Vegas
What it is—LGBTQ+ is an incentive program encouraging Las Vegas' LGBT population to get tested.
Its beginnings—The program began this year at Las Vegas Pride. Since then, the Center has partnered with seven other organizations, each of which is blanketing Las Vegas LGBTQ hot spots with LGBTQ+ cards. The cardholder gets tested and then receives goodies—current rewards include movie tickets and free Jamba Juice smoothies. The Center plans to keep the incentives fresh as it reaches out to other businesses willing to donate products and services.
Its target group—18-to-40-year-olds. "Unfortunately, in that age range, they didn't see the devastation of AIDS in the late '80s and early '90s, so their perception of the disease is a lot different than those who might have lived through that time," says Candice Nichols, the Center's co-director of programs and partnerships.
Its biggest obstacle—"I think stigma is the biggest barrier we have," says Robert L. Elkins, the Center's CEO. "People are ashamed or haven't told their family and friends they're gay, so just the act of getting tested carries with it a certain stigma. Trying to eradicate that stigma is probably the most important battle we have."
Its success story—As of press time, nearly 280 cards had been redeemed. "It just goes to show that maybe a little incentive is the kick in the pants that people need to say, 'Hey maybe I should go get that test,'" Nichols says.
What's next—The Center is partnering with the Ultimate Fighting Championship to reach a demographic they had seen as largely out of reach. The campaign "Protect Yourself At All Times" gives the Center a chance to expand its incentive-card efforts at fight-hosting cities across North America.

SAGE, New York
What it is—A New York City-based center that provides services and programs to the city's aging LGBT population. SAGE has a nationwide network, with affiliates in 19 states and the District of Columbia.
Its target group—LGBT elders (typically 60 and older, though you can be 50 and older for HIV support groups). Concerning HIV/AIDS, "Many of our population, believe it or not, are not as savvy as they should be," says Bill Mendez, a social worker and case manager for SAGE.
Raw numbers—SAGE has 1,400 registered constituents, who have the opportunity to come for presentations and support groups or link up to other necessary services like medical care and housing.
Its biggest obstacle—People tend to think that those over 50 or 60—or 40, according to Miley Cyrus—don't have sex or engage in risky behavior, so there aren't as many resources available. But it's not just sex these folks are after, Mendez says. Many have lost long-term partners and are just looking for companionship.
Long-term HIV/AIDS survival—Thanks to medical advances, HIV/AIDS is not the death sentence it once was, but Mendez cautions the community against letting its guard down. "The survivors are still here," he says, "but as they tell me in group, they have no quality of life. They say, 'My quality of life is going to the doctor, keeping my medical appointments and taking my medications.'"
Biggest surprise in working with long-term HIV/AIDS survivors—"I admire them because of their resilience and courage and the fact that each day they get up and do their thing," Mendez adds.
Find out more—sageusa.org
STREET WORKS, Nashville
What it is—A 24-person HIV/AIDS outreach and prevention program, open outside regular business hours when people typically engage in high-risk behavior. "We have a saying: We doze, but we never close," says executive director Ron Crowder.
Its beginnings—The program started with Crowder—an HIV-positive former IV drug user—on Nashville's streets, distributing condoms, educating prostitutes about the risks of unprotected sex and conducting needle-exchange programs for drug users.
Its mission—To deliver services to the folks Crowder calls "the invisible people"—drug addicts, sex workers and the homeless. "They are the population no one wants to work with," Crowder explains. He also started a new program, Project UNO, to help young, gay black men with prevention.
Its success story—Crowder tells the story of a crack-addicted young woman. Her mother would call and tell him, "I haven't heard from my baby in months. Go find her. Just tell me she's living." Crowder would venture into crack houses, find the daughter and call the mother. That young lady has now been sober for years. She's got a job and owns her own home—all because Crowder never gave up on her. "When people think that somebody else cares about them, they start caring about themselves," Crowder says. The ultimate goal is to get them into housing and drug treatment programs.
Its long-term goals—Crowder says he'd like to have one building for all 24 of his workers rather than have them spread out across four satellite sites. Other than that, he just wants to keep helping Nashville's disenfranchised.

MONOKROM TYPE FOUNDRY is an independent Norwegian type foundry established in 2012 by the type designers Frode Bo Helland and Sindre Bremnes, designing and marketing original type designs with a Nordic touch.
Rooted firmly in the respect for typographic handicraft traditions, the foundry aims to build upon this foundation for a new era, developing and challenging established norms in order to create something new and lasting for today's and tomorrow's technology.
Monokrom's main focus is text faces, mostly avoiding the flashy ornamentation in favor of maximum legibility under different circumstances. In order to put quality first, most of Monokrom's typefaces are designed with a particular purpose in mind – small or large point sizes, print or screen.
All Monokrom typefaces actively support a wide range of languages, with special glyphs for practically every existing language utilising the Latin alphabet. Our typefaces fully support Unicode Latin A Extended, combining diacritics, the typographically sane part of Unicode Latin B Extended, and a selection of glyphs from Latin Extended Additional.

Jackson foils Rovers
Blackburn's fans were unable to celebrate the departure of boss Steve Kean with a victory after they were held 1-1 at Charlton.
Dickson Etuhu fired managerless Rovers into an early lead but Johnnie Jackson made amends for missing a penalty when he struck Charlton's equaliser.
The draw came barely 24 hours after Kean, having travelled down to London with the Rovers squad, suddenly decided to quit.
After months of constant speculation about his job and protests against him from supporters, the Scot had finally come to the conclusion his position was "untenable".
Former Ewood favourites Alan Shearer and Tim Sherwood are being linked with the role, with the latter's club Tottenham understood to have already been approached by Rovers.
But whether either would fancy working with controversial owners Venky's remains to be seen.
In the meantime Eric Black, Kean's assistant, took charge for the clash at The Valley.
The Rovers fans who had made the trip seemed strangely subdued at kick-off, perhaps still nursing hangovers from Friday night's celebrations sparked by the news Kean had walked.
But they woke up with 16 minutes on the clock when the recalled Morten Gamst Pederson played in Etuhu, who danced between the static Chris Solly and Michael Morrison before rifling the ball into the net.
'Stand up, if you're glad he's gone', came the chant from behind the opposite goal.
It was poor defending from Charlton, though, after they had almost gone ahead themselves a minute earlier when Salim Kerkar's low drive fizzed narrowly wide.
The hosts should have drawn level in the 26th minute when Pedersen was adjudged to have brought down Leon Cort in the area.
But Jackson's penalty, blasted straight down the middle, was kept out by the legs of the diving Paul Robinson.
It was only a brief let-off for the visitors, however, as 60 seconds later Jackson diverted a shot from Danny Green past Robinson.
With Blackburn now penned in their own half, Green took aim again from the edge of the area but this time his effort was deflected onto a post.
After the break Robinson made a point-blank save to keep out Cort's header, Bradley Wright-Phillips nodded another dangerous Kerkar cross over and Green's drive was inches too high.
At the other end Nuno Gomes volleyed over and Jordan Rhodes headed wide.
In stoppage time Robinson tipped over an acrobatic scissor-kick from Wright-Phillips to secure Rovers' point, while their fans will feel they scored a more important victory.

Quote: In the year 2154, two classes of people exist: the very wealthy, who live on a pristine man-made space station called Elysium, and the rest who live in an overpopulated, ruined Earth. Secretary Delacourt (Jodie Foster) will stop at nothing to preserve the luxurious lifestyle of the citizens of Elysium – but that doesn't stop the people of Earth from trying to get in by any means they can. Max (Matt Damon) agrees to take on a life threatening mission, one that could bring equality these polarized worlds.

Yikes! I agree about the spine and the cover is pretty bad too. Shame the UK steelbook isn't region free
That spine is going to stick out like a sore thumb in anyone's collection.
terrible cover art... I hate it
S**tty artwork, but I'm glad this is coming out so fast. I enjoyed it very much.
The only problem this film had was that it could never live up to the comparisons to District 9. Had Bloomkamp done Elysium first and District 9 second he'd be drowning in critical acclaim.

Really enjoyed this film. Will be buying it for sure. Think the cover art could be better though and I'll always hate having review quotes on them.
the movie was just ok. not great unfortunately. IMO the face blast/decimation was the best part.
I didn't mind this movie. Thought it was interesting, and Sharlto Copley was a great surprise character throughout. Matt Damon was himself, and the robotic effects were really cool.
Fitting that this gets announced right after The Wolverine. I saw both movies a day apart, expecting this to be pretty good and The Wolverine to be awful. I was very surprised when it turned out to be the other way around.

Doing It Right: Pantone's Emerald in Children's Rooms
We are super excited about Pantone's choice of emerald green as color of the year for 2013. It's so fresh and vibrant, and can even make for a great accent color if you're not going to go whole hog. We gathered together a few of our favorite pops of green in recent kids' rooms featured on Apartment Therapy Family, many emerald and many close to emerald.
We're noticing emerald works really well in the company of other colors. Check out how these parents did it up:
1. A Lofty and Simple Shared Room The classic serpentine motif gets a modern facelift.
2. Vintage Love in Felix's Room We love the mix of various greens here. From teal to chartreuse, and yes, even emerald, the mix is eclectic and homey.
3. Claire's Big Girl Restyle Do you fear the green is going to be out of style just as quickly as it came in? Go for easy-swap pillows and art. How modern is this whole look?
4. "Little Mr. Man's" Hand-Me-Down Room Or simply paint a small piece of furniture, like a nightstand.
5. Malcolm's Fit For a Gentleman Room Malcolm's mother hung emerald green curtains. How chic is it in the company of nautical navy and white?
6. Cam's Superhero-Inspired Space These green bins add a wonderful sense of humor to Cam's space.
7. Super Spencer's Serendipitous Nursery Spencer is really married to emerald for a while. Here it makes a surprisingly neutral background to a rainbow of hearts.
8. Ruby's Gem of a Room Ruby's not so convinced. She has a simple green mobile hanging in her room, which manages to really up the ante here.
9. Green, Polka Dots, & Penguins A slightly more yellowish hue, we like how it pairs with simple black and white.
10. After the Crib: 15 Twin Beds for Big Kids (Pictured is Piper Bed from Room & Board) While this may be a stock picture, it illustrates how updated vivid green can be paired with canary yellow against a broad swath of white.
11. Green Dresser Paint Inspiration While not surrounded by a gorgeous room, this piece dutifully illustrates how lovely greens of all hues are when they come together.
12. My Room: Lillian & Abigail Squint and you'll see it. Emerald is not a predominant color, but it's a crucial one. Pair it with mints and corals, people!
13. Caleb's Grey, Green, and Yellow Nursery All those yellow and grey nurseries we've been seeing? Just add green.
14. My Play Room: Baby D This is another fun one, where they wholeheartedly embrace the color and use it as a backdrop for a brighter, Scandinavian palette.
15. Two Kids' Rooms in a Brooklyn Brownstone Paint the ceiling green. Again, the Novogratzes utilized every shade of green. The ceiling leans a little leafy, but look closely and you'll see emerald in the linens.

While you try and provide the most comfortable and safe home for your pet dog, its thick fur can be home to hundreds of tiny parasites. Dog tick and flea infestations are one of the most common issues faced by almost all pet parents. These parasites are often passed on to your pets when they are outside or come in contact with a tick infested animal. Pet parents should prioritize flea treatment for dogs when they first spot the problem. This is because, when done early, a proper flea treatment can help eradicate the parasites before it escalates into a serious infestation. The best way to keep an eye out for dog ticks is by checking the fur while combing. Excessive itchiness can also be one of the symptoms. At PetCareRx, we stock a huge arsenal of tick control products. We ensure all the products featured on our website come from reputed manufacturers. We also highly recommend you to consult a veterinarian before buying a particular product. This is because they can help you zero in on the perfect product that's best suited for your dog.

Man Who Aided Terrorists Faces Tougher Sentence
By TIM HULL
(CN) -A man serving 14 years in prison for raising and laundering money for a violent Sikh separatist group faces a longer sentence, according to the 2nd Circuit, because he may qualify for a terrorism enhancement.
Khalid Awan was convicted of three counts of conspiring to support a terrorist group after he told prison informants and potential recruits that he worked for the Khalistan Commando Force, an armed group that wants a separate Sikh state in India.
Sifton ruled that there wasn't enough evidence to show that Awan's actions met the statutory standard for terrorism, as they lacked the so-called "motivational element," requiring that they be "calculated to influence or affect the conduct of government by intimidation or coercion, or to retaliate against government conduct."
Sifton also concluded that the "intended-to-promote" prong of the enhancement did not apply.
The New York-based appellate panel found that Sifton misconstrued two elements of the sentencing guidelines.
The government did not have to prove that "Awan was personally motivated by a desire to influence or affect the conduct of government," Judge Debra Ann Livingston wrote for the three-judge panel. "Rather, the government need only demonstrate that Awan intended to promote a crime calculated to have such an effect, i.e., that his offenses were intended to promote a federal crime of terrorism ... whatever Awan's reason for committing them."
Livingston added that the government could still prove that Awan's offenses were meant to influence a government even if he had no personal political motives.
"For example, if the evidence showed that Awan engaged in criminal conduct with knowledge that confederates solicited his actions to effectuate politically motivated bombings in India, or homicidal attacks on that country's security forces or its political leaders, such proof could demonstrate that Awan's crimes were calculated to influence the conduct of government even if he was not personally motivated by that object," Livingston wrote.
"A hired assassin who kills a political leader at the behest of a terrorist organization can hardly disclaim that his crime was calculated to influence the conduct of government simply because he was motivated by greed rather than politics."

FingerWorks iGesture: Get Rid of Your Mouse
Posted by Oscar M. Cantu Categories: Peripherals
At first glance, the iGesture by FingerWorks looks like an oversized touchpad. Although it does work like a touchpad when it comes to moving that pointer around on your screen, it's much more than that. This 5 x 6.25 inch touchpad puts an end to all the clicking, key stroking, and carpal-tunnel that comes with using a mouse. That's right, with a simple stoke on that pad with your fingers, you can perform functions such as:
- Cut
- Copy
- Paste
- Undo/Redo
- Tab/Back Tab
- Back
- Forward
- Forward
- Scroll
- Zoom In
- Zoom Out
- Find(In page)
There are many more features this nifty little pad can do, including many key-stroke shortcuts on your favorite games, Photoshop, and Maya. All the pre-defined gestures can be found here. Besides all those pre-defined gestures, the iGesture allows you to customize your favorite key-strokes through the use of an application. FingerWorks claims that the iGesture works as a Plug-And-Play device on Windows, Mac, and Linux computers; however, if you want to define your own personal shortcuts, the included software needs to be installed. FingerWorks has other products utilizing the same technology such as a keyboard, the TouchStream LP, which replaces your keyboard and mouse. Both of these products are not easy on your wallet at $129 for the iGesture and $339 for the TouchStream LP. These gadgets are sure to revolutionize the industry and are sure to catch the attention of many users that rely heavily on keyboard shortcuts.

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the upas-tree is "a fabulous tree alleged to have existed in Java . . .with properties so poisonous as to destroy all animal and vegetable life to a distance of fifteen or sixteen miles around it." How does Carlyle (who uses this image in his other works) relate the upas-tree to (1) the tree or cross of the Crucifixion, (2) the tree or cross on which the brazen serpent was displayed, (3) imagers of destructive idolatry?

Former Sen. Chuck Hagel, President Obama's nominee for secretary of Defense, wasn't the most articulate candidate ever to appear before a Senate committee on Thursday. Hagel fumbled his way through questions about policy and his own past statements, questions that were all utterly expectable.
He called Iran's repressive government "elected [and] legitimate." (Prompted by a Democratic senator, he explained that he merely meant "recognizable.") Asked to clarify whether he thought a nuclear Iran could be contained, he said: "We don't have a position on containment." (Committee chairman Carl Levin of Michigan helpfully clarified the clarification: "We do not favor containment.")
But on one subject, Hagel was downright eloquent: his hostility toward war and his skepticism about the ease with which civilian leaders in Washington can be tempted to commit troops to battle.
"I have one fundamental question that I asked myself on every vote I took, every decision made: Was the policy worthy of the men and women that we were sending into battle and surely to their deaths?" Hagel told the Senate Armed Services Committee.

Anne Heche: I Can't Afford Child Support
Anne Heche Photo by: Jon Kopaloff / FilmMagic
By Mike Fleeman
Originally posted Wednesday May 14, 2008 08:00 PM EDT
Anne Heche says she can no longer afford to pay the nearly $15,000-a-month in child and spousal support because she's unemployed after the cancellation of Men In Trees.
"I am continuing to look for work, but I have no offers pending and the impending strike by the Screen Actors Guild reduces my prospects for work even further," Heche, 38, writes in court papers.
A judge Wednesday gave her a temporary break, saying she didn't have to pay her next support payment to her ex Coley Laffoon, 34, covering the month of July. But Superior Court Judge Gail Ruderman Feuer ordered the actress to provide updated income and expense information.
In a court declaration, Heche indicated her financial straits were dire and that she can no longer afford to pay the $14,798 in monthly support, along with private school tuition for her 6-year-old son Homer, the mortgage on her house in Canada where Men In Trees filmed, rent on her Los Angeles home and car expenses.
"Since January 18, 2008, I have been unemployed and had no income from employment except for one very short-term contract for a movie role for which I received a total of $65,00, approximately the amount I received for one episode of Men In Trees, she writes.
She adds: "I do receive some residuals from previous acting work. However, the amounts are nominal and are offset by recurring business expenses that must be paid whether or not I am working."
Anne Heche: I Can't Afford Child Support - Anne Heche : People.com
I don't know if she has custody of her son or not, but 15k a month seems like a lot of money to pay on child support. She maxed out her lifestyle instead of saving some of that money to get her through tough times like this.

Living the Suttas
December 15, 2017 @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm PDT
An event every week that begins at 7:30pm on Friday, repeating until September 28, 2018
This class is an exploration of the core teachings of Theravada Buddhism. Each week a different sutta (Buddhist teaching) is examined for its relevance to modern contemplative life. Often times the suttas are intimidating, this class seeks to demystify the core teachings and make them accessible to today's practitioner. Although we study the suttas, this is not an academic class; it is an attempt to examine the basic core teachings and to see how we can engage with them in our meditation practice, our lives as lay practitioners, and in the world at large.
The Friday night class is the perfect way to put your week into perspective and to sit with dedicated practitioners; it is an opportunity to deepen and engage your practice with community through meditation and reflection. Come sit with us and explore how you can bring the core teachings into your life.

My daughter is 15 months. She has always had lots of trouble with sleep. She woke up every 45 min of her life until about 10 months old. We cosleep and nurse to sleep, she nurses very often at night and right now she nurses a ton in the day as well. She is not a big fan of solids, but is healthy, gaining, etc. No developmental issues.
So, for the last 5-7 months her night wakings are so much worse. She sits up crying, even howling, every time she wakes. On a typical night this is about 4+ times during the time we sleep together, which is about 10pm-6:30am.
Part of me wants to try a slow, gentle night weaning. Mostly because her wakings are very loud, crying out for "babies", which is nursing. She yells. She sits up, she is obviously upset each time she wakes but I've never left her side.
But the other part of me is so upset even thinking about it! Did anyone else have this problem? I am so emotional about it. My husband and I decided he would do bedtime with her and she seems to be fine so far (we switched to nursing on the couch and reading before bed vs nursing to sleep). But at dinner tonight I burst into tears about the whole thing. I'm thinking this means some part of me senses this is wrong for us? I know everyone says it's fine to place limits, but it just feels so weird when we worked so hard for her to want to nurse!
Just wondering what others have experienced. I think it's also really hard because she and I kept our relationship alive with night nursing for so many months when she generally refused to nurse in the day. The night wakings, even as disruptive as they are, are bearable as long as I'm not sick or over tired. Then it becomes a real issue.

Communications service providers continue to look for the right strategies to fuel a new era of expansion. Generating growth in the world's emerging markets is an important part of the story. Although competition is stiff, service providers have the scale, consumer relationships and brand value to drive a new kind of business—what Accenture calls a "services supermarket," meeting a variety of customer needs in a complex communications and technology environment.
Emerging markets are a key to growth in the telecommunications industry. Over the past decade, mobile penetration in these regions has skyrocketed—by 68 percentage points in Africa and 75 points in Asia Pacific. In Latin America, mobile penetration was just 19 percent in 2002 but now stands at 114 percent or even higher. Developing a broad range of innovative services to serve those consumers is an urgent imperative.
However, as providers survey this competitive landscape, several marketplace and consumer trends are of concern:
Mobile markets in some emerging nations are at or beyond saturation, so more focus needs to be placed on developing value-added services beyond communications and data, supported by cross-selling or up-selling campaigns.
Since 2000, providers operating in emerging markets have seen a decline of 77 percent in average voice revenue per minute. Because margins are eroding, finding ways to keep costs low will be increasingly imperative.
Mobile providers can no longer assume that they will be the first choice for consumers looking to buy mobile voice and data services. In the age of convergence, multiple sectors are competing in the market spaces long dominated by communications service providers. In fact, according to the Accenture 2013 Mobile Web Watch survey, 31 percent of emerging-market consumers would think first of a device manufacturer as their source for communications needs. Service providers need to make sure they have an increasing presence in the minds of consumers as innovative players in the mobile marketplace.
The good news is that service providers have significant assets, reach, consumer bases and brand equity to drive a new kind of digital business—what Accenture calls a "services supermarket." The "supermarket" analogy is appropriate—a place where consumers go to meet a variety of their needs. From a telecommunications perspective, a supermarket approach means that communications providers are meeting their customers' needs through one or more of several strategies depending on where a provider wants to sit in the overall value chain:
Reselling its own or a third party's services individually or as bundles.
Enhancing products and services in the convergent marketplace.
Inventing and marketing new services.

Wicked movie coming 'sooner rather than later'
- Bang Showbiz
- 21 February 2013
Universal chairman Adam Fogelson has announced that a movie adaptation of hit Broadway musical 'Wicked' is expected to be made 'sooner rather than later'
'Wicked' will hit the big screen "sooner rather than later".
Universal Pictures chairman Adam Fogelson has insisted a film adaptation of the hit Broadway musical - which is also owned by the film studio - is still in the works and a top priority for the company.
He told The Hollywood Reporter: "'Wicked' has been an enormous win for this company. The way it works, we should be in agreement together on when the right time to do this is.
"But I will tell you I believe that we are collectively moving toward 'Wicked' coming to the screen sooner rather than later."
The 'Wicked' musical - which is based on Gregory Maguire's novel, 'Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West' and serves as a prequel to 'The Wizard of Oz' - has entertained fans for nearly 10 years on Broadway in the US and in London's West End in Britain.
The colourful production tells the tale of the unlikely friendship between Glinda, the Good Witch of the North, and Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West.
While 'Wicked' awaits the big screen treatment, the fantasy world of Oz - which was most famously captured in 1939's 'The Wizard of Oz' starring Judy Garland - will next be seen on film in Disney's 'Oz the Great and Powerful' which will be released in March. That film stars James Franco, Rachel Weisz, Michelle Williams and Mila Kunis.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - At its second match of the 2013 portion of the season, the MIT men's tennis team had a convincing 9-0 victory over Eastern Nazarene College inside the Carr Tennis Bubble at home on Tuesday afternoon. The Engineers improved to 4-0 on the season, while the Lions fell to 0-2.
In doubles, juniors Edwin Zhang (Falls Church, Va.) and Curtis Wu (Yorba Linda, Calif.) defeated Sam Mckay-Corkum and Sam Son with a score of 8-4. Freshman Kevin Wang (Havertown, Pa.) and senior Tymor Hamamasy (New York, N.Y.) won against Tim Luz and Nick Thompson, 8-1. To end doubles, freshmen Jeffrey Bu (Arcadia, Calif.) and Dennis A Garcia (Corpus Christi, Texas) had an 8-0 win over Tyler Perron and Kevin Paterno.
With a 3-0 over the Lions going into singles, the Engineers got stronger as the match continued. Zhang started things off with a 6-3, 6-0 win over McKay at the No. 1 position before junior Larry Pang (Torrance, Calif.) defeated Son with scores of 6-2, 6-1 and Wu finished off Perron with a 6-0, 6-1 score. Senior Troy Astorino (Laguna Hills, Calif.) easily won his first set against Luz, 6-1, but had to fight for the win in the second set, walking away with a 7-5 victory. Freshman Justin Cheung (Sydney, Australia) had a 6-2, 6-2 win over Paterno and fellow freshman Robbie Shaw (San Diego, Calif.) easily defeated Thompson with scores of 6-0, 6-0.
MIT wastes little time before heading back to the bubble for a match on Friday, March 1 at 6:00 p.m.

With only a few more days left until Christmas, everyone is scrambling to finish their shopping and get every detail ready for the holiday! In my family, we used to bake a ton of goodies and deliver them to our extended family and friends on Christmas Eve. One of our favorites to bake were sugar cookies! They are so much fun and can be really creative. It is also a great activity to do with the whole family. As a child, I used to spend hours designing and decorating my sugar cookies. Below we have a recipe for vegan sugar cookies, as well as frosting and suggestions for other decorations. Happy Christmas and Merry Baking!!
Vegan Holiday Sugar Cookies
Cookie Recipe
Prep Time: 20-60 minutes Bake Time: 8-10 Minutes per sheet
2 3/4 Cups Organic Flour
Frosting Recipe:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a small mixing bowl, beat the Ener-G Egg Replacer and warm water until the consistency of an egg and set aside. Combine and sift all dry ingredients together: flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another mixing bowl cream the Earth Balance and sugar. Beat in "egg" mixture from earlier and vanilla into the Earth Balance and sugar. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Once they are combined, you can make the cookies! If you are making simple round cookies, roll about a tsp worth of cookie dough and place on cookie sheet. If you are making fun holiday designs: santas, reindeers, trees etc, on a cutting board sprinkle flour and roll dough out to thin layer. Cut out shapes and place on cookie dough. Make sure to give enough room for each cookie to rise. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until cookies have risen and are golden. Let cool for 10-20 minutes and decorate!
While the cookies are cooling, in a mixing bowl combine the Earth Balance, vanilla, and hot water. Slowly add in the powdered sugar (use Wholesome Sweeteners, they are confirmed vegan). Beat with electric mixer until smooth. This will make a standard frosting. If you want chocolate add in about 1/3-1/2 Cup vegan cocoa powder and mix. If you would like different colors you can add in food coloring (at your own risk). Be careful of chemical dyes, especially red as they may not be vegan and can include harmful ingredients. Seelect Food Coloring and Nature's Flavors are all natural and vegan dyes. You can also find vegan sprinkles! Now it is time to decorate your sugar cookies however you would like. Trust us this is the best part, well aside from eating the cookies that is!

I ordered the wrong size. It would have helped if I could have seen it on a model, I think. It was beautiful but too small so I have returned it and selected a larger one.

What a fine piece of gold jewelry for my recent surface piercing. High quality internal threading on the gold beads. Excellent sizing info on the site which enabled me to get a curved barbell with a perfect fit. And I saved $100 off what my piercer would have charged me for the same gold barbell at their studio. Couldn\'t be happier!

P&Z panel approves pair of applications
Planning & Zoning (P&Z) commissioners approved the requests of both applicants on Wednesday.
P&Z commissioners unanimously recommended approval of a four-lot preliminary plat for the New Meadows III Subdivision. Clem Yancey made this request. The plat is in a residential zone approximately 135 N. 365 W.
The P&Z commissioners also unanimously approved a six-foot variance to setback requirements for a communication tower at 138 N. 740 W.
Because of a "huge mistake," the communication tower was placed six feet off center. In the original design received by Planning & Zoning, the tower was to be centered.
The contractor had an old plan. The mistake was discovered after the tower was erected.
"I'm here to plead for your mercy," said the design engineer.

Jason Statham set for Fast and Furious 7
- Bang Showbiz
- 8 May 2013
Jason Statham has been confirmed to star alongside Vin Diesel and Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson in 'Fast & Furious 7'
Jason Statham will star in 'Fast & Furious 7'.
The 'Parker' actor will join the high octane franchise with a starring role in the next movie, according to series co-star Michelle Rodriguez.
The actress appeared to confirm Statham's casting while promoting the upcoming 'Fast & Furious 6', telling DesdeHollywood.com: "Jason Statham, Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson - when you see these guys in a room you know they belong together. You can see in their eyes that they have gone through a lot. I applaud Universal for getting him on board."
It's not yet known which part the British star will play in the movie, but the report hints that Statham's character could be related to 'Fast & Furious 6' villain Owen Shaw, played by Luke Evans.
'Fast & Furious 7' is set to be rushed into production this summer for release in 2014 - just a year after the release of the latest installment.
It's thought star-and-producer Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson will all reprise their roles in the movie.
The flick will also have a new director following the departure of Justin Lin, who has overseen the last four films in the speed racing franchise.
'Saw' director James Wan has been confirmed to helm the next picture.

Posh and Katie are at it again! Back in Paris where we first noticed their budding friendship last fall, the ladies are in town for couture week and the BFF's headed out to an Armani store opening together last night. Though both women were wearing elegant black dresses, there was one major difference between their looks — Posh went for bare legs while an Armani Privé-clad Katie covered up in sheer black stockings. Though the nighttime Parisian temperature was near freezing, we can't imagine wearing sheer black hose! We would either go for bare legs like Posh or choose opaque black tights. What about you? Would you wear sheer hose like Katie? Or do you go for bare like Posh?

Asked by David Howard, Shenyang, China
I'm an American living in China. Two months ago I had a pyogenic granuloma surgically removed from the palm of my hand. It had grown to about 2 x 3 centimeters in size and would often bleed. Now I have several (eight) small granulomas starting in the same general, but larger area. Could there be an alternative diagnosis or cause?
Conditions Expert
Dr. Otis Brawley
Chief Medical Officer,
American Cancer Society
Pyogenic granuloma is a skin lesion also called granuloma telangiectaticum. It is not an infection as the name suggests. The lesion is caused by growth of small blood vessels. It can be several centimeters (up to one inch in diameter). They can be found anywhere on the skin or even on the gums of the mouth. The cause of these lesions is unknown. They often, but not always, occur after some type of trauma. They also commonly occur during the early stages of pregnancy and can regress after pregnancy.
The diagnosis is suspected when there is a history of a reddish and flesh colored dome shaped lesion that developed over the course of a few days to three weeks and bleeds easily. It can be confused with other lesions such as a type of melanoma known as amelanotic melanoma. This skin cancer without pigment usually develops more slowly. There are many noncancerous lesions that can be confused with a pyogenic granuloma. Among them are benign nevi or moles and a lesion called dermatofibrosis. Biopsy and microscopic evaluation of the lesion is often needed to be sure.
A definite pyogenic granuloma need not be treated unless it is bothersome. Common reasons for treatment are cosmetic inconveniences and some bleed easily with minor trauma. Treatment is a minor surgical excision. There are several methods of surgical removal. A method known as a "punch biopsy" is preferred, but can be difficult in certain areas of the body especially certain areas of the hand. A shave excision or shaving with electrocautery -- using an electrified probe -- to stop bleeding are two methods used when punch biopsy cannot be done. The punch biopsy removes some deeper tissue and is more likely to get the entire lesion. These lesions do recur after an inadequate surgery, but they can also recur after an adequate surgery.
The multiple lesions that you describe after surgery are consistent with what is referred to as "satellite lesions" which sometimes do occur after an excision of a single pyogenic granuloma. These satellite lesions are best evaluated and treated by a dermatologist experienced in their removal and you may need referral to a plastic surgeon who specializes in hand surgery.

Speech understanding in noise using cochlear implants
Search Medline for
|September 22, 2005
Everyday communication doesn't occur in a "sterile" environment, it is disturbed by many factors, such as noise, surrounding us. A hearing aid – and such a cochlear implant as well – must be programmed and fitted in a different manner when to be used in noisy or in a quiescent environment. That is why the control of speech understanding so important is.
The authors performed speech recognition tests on 15 cochlear implant users under different background noise conditions. The tests covered number, word, and sentence recognition tests.
The results showed that with intensifying background noise speech understanding worsened, still most of our cochlear implant users performed well in these circumstances. When fitting the speech processor, the primary goal should not be to reach the best pure tone threshold level, since it worsens the cochlear users' speech understanding performance in a noisy environment.

When it comes to the Hudson Valley, and especially the Catskills, the casino debate has been around for decades. During that time, some circumstances have changed, and some have not.
When it comes to the Hudson Valley, and especially the Catskills, the casino debate has been around for decades. During that time, some circumstances have changed, and some have not.
The economic condition of those communities most likely to host a casino are unchanged — or worse. Unemployment rates in Ulster and Sullivan stand at 7.6 percent, the highest in the region. In Monticello, Ellenville and Liberty, jobless rates are even higher and vacant storefronts have multiplied.
Casinos in neighboring states have multiplied, too. So have the revenues that are leaving New York. Meanwhile, there are now more than 60 forms of lottery-style games in New York state, not to mention bingo and Vegas nights hosted by some of the bedrock organizations of community life, from fire departments to churches. Gambling is already fully ingrained in our society. That's because it raises money, whether it is for the ladies auxiliary or for state aid to education.
We are blind to need and opportunity if we say casinos will not help our state or our region.
Legalized casinos mean new revenue for a state that clearly needs it. Despite the economy and the increase in competition, these casinos would still pay hefty up-front license fees and annual taxes, too. Slot machines will be taxed at the current video gaming rate of 37 to 45 percent. Beyond that, New York state stands to capture dollars now going to Atlantic City, the Poconos and Connecticut.
Job creation is expected to be robust and regional. At any one of the casino resorts currently proposed for the region, estimates call for 1,200 construction jobs. Permanent jobs are pegged at 1,000-plus full-time equivalents for each of these facilities, with wages comparable to if not better than many of the jobs that can realistically be created in these locations. Wages paid at indirect jobs would cycle throughout the local economy.
At its base, this is resort tourism. As much as hiking, fishing and concerts are forms of recreation, so is gambling. Casinos represent a fresh emphasis on an old idea: It's fun to come here. That's a concept important to every business here, big or small.
There was a time when casinos conjured images of traffic jams, negative environmental impacts and crowded schools. More casinos just outside our borders logically mean less traffic here, and by building through adaptive reuse on the recycled sites of the old hotels, the environmental impact is significantly reduced. And, if casinos create jobs that bring in families and thereby prevent the next two schools from closing, then who is anyone to say "no" to that?
With smart oversight and carefully crafted host-community benefit plans, casinos can work. These casinos would inevitably mimic the stand-alone resorts that have found success in Connecticut more so than those lining the boardwalks and avenues of Atlantic City or Vegas.
If we honestly acknowledge the parameters of Casino Debate 2013, it's not that hard to say "yes" on Nov. 5. In fact, it borders on necessary.

I started a list of the resources I frequent the most in the MSDN Library SQL Server Books Online - Replication, Technical Articles and Whitepapers, Blogs and Websites, Videos, Forums, and Books - Replication Bookmarks.
I find myself visiting these pages often and thought this could be a useful reference when searching for quality content on SQL Server Replication. The list is subject to change as I intend to add to it over time. One list I plan to grow is Blogs and Websites as I'm aware that there have been a number of blog posts written on the topic of SQL Server Replication.

Think of all the horror movies you've seen during your life. Some of the scariest were those predictive monsters or ghouls who you knew were vicious, mean and dangerous—and you had no way to stop them.
Think of all the horror movies you've seen during your life. Some of the scariest were those predictive monsters or ghouls who you knew were vicious, mean and dangerous—and you had no way to stop them.
Yet, these beasties seemed so fallible. Just how fast can a Blob move? Wouldn't a 50' tall woman make quite a big target--same for King Kong and Godzilla?
Some had paranormal and/or a back-from-the-dead knack. They had supernatural flair to eviscerate everybody in dramatic and explosive ways. Until our heroes, Superman, Batman, Spiderman, et al, figured out a way to terminate them, they were impenetrable from bullets, rockets and Tea Partiers, (AKA, the good guys).
Such is our current state of affairs. Obamacare is covering up America like The Blob, not with affordable health insurance like promised, but by an ever-tightening government grip on our freedoms and privacy. These monsters are determined to kill our Healthcare and make ordinary citizens their slaves. Obama and Dems are the self-proclaimed arrogant central planners--enemies of America. They sold us Obamacare with lies and stealth.
According to Democrats, Obamacare cannot be stopped, delayed or defeated. You will be its victim unless you are a member of Congress, a union or our first and hopefully last royal family, the Obamas. Obamacare is The Blob—and only the Central Planners are exempt.
The town-folk are getting restless. As of today, 54% of Americans regret that Obamacare passed and only 38% are happy it did. The pitch-forks and torches hang in the voting booths of 2014.
Every day, the Obamacare-blob-beat goes on—consuming the HC of millions of Americans.
Obamacare, like Original horror flicks, were made in serious mode to scare you even more than a third Obama Term. They were so goofy that most begged to be satirized. I'm not sure we're quite ready for this horror movie, but let's review some Mel Brooks' and Mike Meyers' satirical classics and catch some of the irony to today's fiasco. Enter stage fright!
· Frankenstein-Young Frankenstein- Mel Brook's deliriously funny poke at the Mary Shelley classic. Who didn't laugh when the mention of Frau Blucher, played by Cloris Leachman, made horses neigh and bray in fear? It was rumored that "blucher" meant glue in German. Let us not forget that Mary Shelley wrote this during the summer of 1816 whence she and a group of other young vacationers were forced by the freezing weather to a lodge by the fire. There, they traded stories about men being put together out of graves. Mary dreamed the scenes she later wrote for Frankenstein. The Little Ice Age of that era is reminiscent of today's cooling and a well-deserved slap in the face of that Global Warming Monster, ALGORE.
· Any Movie on the Nazis and the Holocaust-The Producers. I was originally offended by this pic when I first saw it in the late 60's. Then I figured out that this was a hilarious scam to separate cash out of little old ladies. Springtime for Hitler and Germany was just about as funny as the Obamacare Website is sad. Of course we're all in Little Old Lady Land with our cash being lifted by a bunch of lying Socialists.
· Star Wars Series-Spaceballs-a raucous parody of the Evil Empire movies from George Lucas by Mel Brooks. One of the funnier bits was the password to get into the safe, 1-2-3-4-5. Reminds one of how easy signing up for Obamacare isn't. May the Schwartz be with you! OY!
· Psycho-High Anxiety-yet another Mel Brooks comedy classic based on Alfred Hitchcock's hit. The replica of the shower scene using a newspaper as the knife and an angry bellboy as the murderer was a reminder of how the MSM attacks conservatives. A whip-snapping Cloris Leachman reminds one of mad scientist Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, the face of Obamacare.
· James Bond Movies-Austin Powers, from Mike Meyers, funny and faux coolness right down to the cheap sex comments like "Shagadelic" or the famously flawed teeth dissing the lack of dental coverage in the UK's universal HC. The fembots with guns flaming from their mechanical breasts were pre-empted in humor by the auspiciously slow moving steamroller completely flattening a screaming opponent after what seemed like an hour-long chase at ½ MPH. That's what Obamacare is and will be doing to us unless something is done in 2014 and 2016.
I predict a movie parodying Obamacare someday. It'll many years from now when and if we are able to laugh again—long after its Socialist/Communist promoters are gone.
In the meantime, one movie I'd pay to see is THE INCREDIBLY SHRINKING PRESIDENT, written and directed by the American People.

One hundred percent of the U.S. population is now better protected from cigarette fires thanks to state passage of fire-safe cigarette legislation. The Coalition, headed by NFPA, is now working to support states in the development of strategies to implement and enforce fire-safe cigarette laws and to measure the efficacy of the new standard.
In 2011, U.S. fire departments responded to an estimated 90,000 smoking-material fires in the U.S., largely unchanged from 90,800 in 2010. These fires resulted in an estimated 540 civilian deaths, 1,640 civilian injuries and $621 million in direct property damage; deaths were down substantially from the year before.

To say I've done things that I never would have before is an understatement. It goes far beyond that. Being in the Holy Land is changing me, and it's changing my perspective on many things. I've tried new foods, sailed on the Sea of Galilee (I'm not a boating fan), and rode a cable car to the top of a 1,300 ft. high mountain (I'm not a fan of heights either), attended a reception for international journalists, and have spent hours in a van trekking a foreign country with people I'd never met before.
Israel is changing me, and it's for the better.
Practically speaking, I'm learning to shift quickly to new situations and adapt when things don't work as expected. I'm becoming more and more aware of the strength and stamina required for Jesus to carry on his ministry and the Biblical stories I've heard since childhood are coming to life. The Bible is no longer a book to me; it's a living reality.
Take, for example, the Church of Peter's Primacy on the shore of Galilee. It marks the spot where the Risen Christ welcomed the Apostles back to shore and fed them breakfast. Inside the Church is the rock upon which our Lord served his friends. Or, the Church of the Multiplication just down the shore where Jesus multiplied the loaves and fishes for the 5,000. That church has a piece of the rock on which Jesus performed the miracle nestled under the altar. I've cried many times at the places we've visited, but that one really turned on the waterworks. I could feel the love of Jesus for his sheep, and I could picture him so lovingly laying the fish and loaves of bread on the rock so that his people could have something to eat, knowing that soon he would give them himself as sustenance. Those aren't Scripture passages to me any longer.
My mantra continues to be, "Jesus, show me," and he certainly is. At each site, it's becoming easier to see and feel what happened there 2,000 years ago and the importance is has on all of our lives.
One of the best moments so far was on the Sea of Galilee. Standing on the bow of the boat, I could look to shore and spot the places Jesus ate, slept, worked, taught and prayed. I could look across the sea and see other boats making their way over the water and could imagine Jesus sailing with his disciples. It was like have our Lord's life unfold before my eyes.
The Jordan River was awesome, and much different from the way I'd pictured it. It was far more green and lush. To this day, people come to the Jordan, don robes, and go into the water to be baptized. It's a lovely, peaceful place. Sadly, we couldn't go to the place at which Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist because the pope was coming there around the same time, and it was closed off. On the other hand, it was a reminder that there still are great things to come on this trip.
I can't wait to see what Jesus has to show me next.
