6 Foods That Make You Hungrier
It doesn't matter how much you fill up on certain foods, you never seem to feel satiated. I've learned over the years that whole foods fill you up and processed, junk foods can bring on the pangs of hunger as if you didn't eat anything at all. This results from the fact that much of the nutrient density is depleted in processing.
And no matter how much your will power attempts to hold strong, certain foods are addictive. No matter how bad they make you feel, you just can't stop. I mean you could stop, it's not like you're tied to the kitchen table being force-fed, but you get my drift.
What are these foods? What foods should you avoid when you're trying to get the most for your hunger buck?
1. Chewing Gum
Chewing gum stimulates the gastric juices, producing saliva. According to Faddiets.com the saliva that is produced while chewing goes down to the stomach and fools the stomach into thinking there is food to be digested, making you hungrier.
2. Diet Soda
While the label may read "diet," don't be fooled. Studies prove that diet soda makes you hungrier.
"Artificial sweeteners could have the effect of triggering appetite but unlike regular sugars they don't deliver something that will squelch the appetite," Sharon Fowler, obesity researcher at UT Health Science Center at San Diego and a co-author on both of these studies, told the Daily Mail, seen on CBS News. According to Fowler, sweeteners could inhibit brain cells that make you feel full.
3. High Fructose Corn Syrup
While the commercials claim that it's fine in moderation, the truth is that the whole problem with high fructose corn syrup in the first place, is that moderation is seemingly impossible.
The syrup interferes with the body's metabolism so that a person can't stop eating. It's truly hard to control cravings because high fructose corn syrup slows down the secretion of leptin in the body. Leptin is a crucial hormone in the body that tells you that you're full and to stop eating.
4. Frozen Dinners
Frozen dinners, especially diet frozen dinners, often don't have enough calories to fill you up. Additionally, there isn't enough roughage, specifically, fresh fruits and vegetables to expand in your stomach. As I said above, processing depletes nutrients. If you're going to eat frozen meals, do it rarely and make sure you accompany the meals with a salad or cut up fruits and vegetables.
5. Pastries and Baked Goods
Pastries, though ooey, gooey, and delicious do little to fill you up. White sugar and flour has no fiber or nutrients. They send you through the roof and then you come crashing down much hungrier than you were before. And it's a pretty fast process. Choose baked goods made with ancient whole grains and as little sugar as possible.
6. Sugary Breakfast Bars
Unless breakfast bars are loaded with protein and minimally sweetened, they might as well be a pastry. High processed and sugary, these guys may seem like a shortcut but in reality, you'll just need another meal anyway. While today you can find some high quality, organic meal bars in stores, it's still better to make breakfast. Consider oats with fruit, honey, peanut butter, and coconut milk instead–a much better way to start your day.

Add Phil Humber to the list of ex-Mets to throw a no-hitter. Tom Seaver, Nolan Ryan seven times, David Cone and Dwight Gooden. Meanwhile, the Mets' franchise doesn't have any.
I liked dealing with Humber when he was with the Mets. He was always pleasant to speak with and had a good sense of humor. At the time, I was happy for him when he was traded because I knew it gave him a chance to pitch, something that wasn't going to happen any time soon with the Mets.
The Mets, of course, shouldn't lament the trade of Humber because it brought them Johan Santana. At the time, I know few people regretted the deal.
I don't write this to rip the Mets. Far from it. I mention it to point out how fickle baseball can be.
Here we are, watching the Mets blow a ninth-inning lead when their rising young outfielder Kirk Nieuwenhuis overruns a pop-up only to win the game in the bottom of the inning on a wild throw. Amazing stuff. It really was.
Of course, it paled to what happened in Fenway Park. The iconic ballpark – celebrating its 100th anniversary – has been the site of hundreds of memorable moments with dozens of Red Sox collapses. So, why not celebrate that history in grand style? Down 9-0, the Yankees stormed back to back-to-back monster innings to rout the Sox, 15-9.
If Bobby Valentine has a magic touch as a manager, now is the time to use it. Games like yesterday can carry a psychological impact. For the Mets, it could right them after a three-game losing streak. For the Red Sox, as the papers point out this morning, it could carry devastating consequences.
Then again, it could carry no impact. That's the fickle nature of the sport and one of the reasons it drives us crazy. And, one of the reasons why we love it so.

Superlatives are unnecessary for jazz-great Phil Woods — the Grammy winner and NEA Jazz Master was one of the greatest alto sax players.
His career spanned over 65 years, playing saxophone with such greats as Quincy Jones, Dizzy Gillespie, Thelonious Monk, Buddy Rich, Bill Evans, Oliver Nelson, John Coates, Jr. and Bob Dorough. He is listed as a bandleader or a main performer on more than 100 albums and is a featured soloist on albums by Billy Joel, Paul Simon and Steely Dan.
This weekend is all about Woods, who made a home in the Pocono region with fellow jazz greats, and who died last September at the age of 82.
This weekend's 39th annual Celebration of the Arts...

Baseball lost one of its all-time greats on Monday with the passing of San Diego Padres legend Tony Gwynn. Gwynn was only 54, finally succumbing to a four-year struggle with cancer of the salivary gland.
There have already been plenty of tributes written to Gwynn's talent and character, and there will surely be many, many more. He was the best pure hitter of his era, making an art of slapping the ball to the opposite field — often through the hole between the shortstop and third baseman.
As a Hall of Famer (inducted in 2007), it's a given that Gwynn is one of the best players in baseball history. But it's worth noting just how spectacular some of his achievements were, along with how impressive an athlete he truly was. (That could be sometimes overlooked with the doughy physique Gwynn carried through most of his career.)
In accordance with his jersey number, here are 19 facts that absolutely deserve to be remembered about Gwynn's athletic career.
1. Tony Gwynn finished his career with 3,141 hits, ranking No. 19 on MLB's all-time list.
2. Gwynn hit .350 or higher in seven of his 20 MLB seasons. Four other players — Ted Williams, Al Simmons, Shoeless Joe Jackson and Ned Lajoie — hit at least .350 that many times. Only Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Tris Speaker, Rogers Hornsby and Ty Cobb had more seasons batting .350 or above.
3. With a .338 batting average, Gwynn is one of 30 players in the entire history of Major League Baseball to hit .330 or higher for his entire career.
4. Gwynn led his league in batting average eight times. The only other player to win more batting titles was Cobb, who earned 12 of them.
5. Gwynn hit .300 or better for 19 consecutive seasons, the longest run in National League history. (Cobb holds the American League mark with 23.)
6. Gwynn finished the 1994 strike-shortened season with a .394 average, ranking No. 37 on baseball's all-time list. Had that season not ended on Aug. 12, would he have become only the 21st player in MLB history to do so and the first since Ted Williams batted .406 in 1941?
7. In August 1994, Gwynn hit .475 in 43 plate appearances. After the All-Star break, he was batting .423. No, we'll never know if he would've hit .400, but he was making a hard charge at the mark and surely would've kept the chase interesting into September.
8. Against Greg Maddux, Gwynn batted .415 in 107 plate appearances. That's the most PAs he had against any batter. Gwynn also never struck out versus Maddux.
9. In 10,232 plate appearances, Gwynn struck out 434 times. That averages out to a strikeout every 23.57 PAs.
10. Gwynn has more career doubles (543) than strikeouts.
11. The most times Gwynn struck out in his career was 40, reaching that mark in 1988. The fewest times he struck out during a season in which he had 500 or more plate appearances was 1995, when he struck out 15 times in 577 PAs.
12. In 1987, Gwynn hit .370 with 56 stolen bases. He's one of five players to hit .370 with at least 50 steals in a season, along with Cobb, Sisler, Speaker and Benny Kauff. (via SI.com's Tom Verducci)
13. Gwynn is one of 17 MLB players to play at least 20 seasons and spend his entire career with one team.
14. Among Padres all-time batting leaders, Gwynn holds the franchise's top mark in 14 categories. He ranks first in career batting average, hits, extra-base hits, runs scored, RBI, doubles, triples, stolen bases, games played, total bases, plate appearances, walks, intentional walks and sacrifice flies.
15. Gwynn was voted into the Baseball Hall of Fame on 97.6 percent of the ballots. (Fellow inductee Cal Ripken Jr. earned 98.5 percent of the vote.) No one eligible for the Hall of Fame has gotten that high of a percentage since then. (Greg Maddux was close at 97.2 percent. Maybe it would've been higher if he'd gotten Gwynn out more often.)
16. MLB Rule 10.22 (a) is unofficially known as "The Tony Gwynn Rule." In 1996, Gwynn had 498 plate appearances, four short of the 502 necessary to qualify for the batting title. The rule allows hitless at-bats to be added to a player's season total, getting him to the minimum required number. With the extra PAs, Gwynn's average would have dropped from .353 to .349, still good enough for first in the NL that season.
17. Gwynn played basketball, in addition to baseball, at San Diego State. As a point guard, Gwynn is the school's all-time leader in career assists (590), season assists (221, 8.2 per game), and most assists in a game (18).
18. Gwynn is the only player in Western Athletic Conference history to be named to the all-conference team in two different sports. He earned the honors once in baseball, twice in basketball. (Gwynn was also a two-time All-American.)
19. In 1981, Gwynn was a third-round selection in the MLB Draft (58th overall) and a 10th-round pick (No. 210 overall) in the NBA Draft by the
Los Angeles then-San Diego Clippers.

Burbank will get a $1.7-million state grant to restore a storm water channel and create 8 acres of habitat at Johnny Carson Park, officials announced Wednesday.
The planned project would widen, thicken and add vegetation to the Tujunga Wash creek that runs through the park and into the Los Angeles River. Plans also call for a new playground, jogging path, lighting and seating area.
The money is part of $34 million being distributed by the California Natural Resources Agency to 33 river parkway projects throughout California and comes after Burbank lost out on a $3.5-million grant last year for the Johnny Carson Park improvements.
"This money will go a long way in the much needed renovation of Johnny Carson Park," Judie Wilke, Burbank's director of Parks, Recreation and Community Services, said in a statement.
The latest round of state grants, announced in Sacramento on Wednesday, will be used to acquire, restore, protect and develop areas along waterways, according to the California Natural Resources Agency.
State Secretary for Natural Resources John Laird said in a statement that the river parkway grants are important tools for helping communities connect children and families with more outdoor recreational opportunities, while also protecting sources of clean water.
The renovations to the 17.6-acre Johnny Carson Park, which borders Bob Hope Drive and the Ventura (134) Freeway, are still in the design phase, according to the city.

THQ's Fiscal 2012 First Quarter Results are now available, which consumes quite a bit of red ink, saying: "For the fiscal first quarter ended June 30, 2011, THQ reported net sales of $195.2 million, compared with $149.4 million in the prior-year period. On a non-GAAP basis, for the three months ended June 30, 2011, the company reported net sales of $141.2 million, compared with $160.3 million a year ago," and: "For the three months ended June 30, 2011, the company reported a net loss of $38.4 million, or $0.56 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $30.1 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, in the prior-year period. On a non-GAAP basis, for the three months ended June 30, 2011, the company reported a net loss of $64.4 million, or $0.94 per diluted share, compared with a non-GAAP net loss of $14.4 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, in the prior-year period."
The report in part blames disappointing sales of Red Faction: Armageddon for this state of affairs, and Shacknews (thanks nin) quotes THQ CEO Brian Farrell from the post-earnings conference call saying this was a "niche" game and suggesting the Red Faction franchise may have ground to a halt: "I do not believe we went far enough in cutting our portfolio... Only titles we think will be profitable, like Saint's Row: The Third, will be supported in the future." Here's what the company's financial report says about this:

Title –
Title insurance is a policy that protects against financial loss stemming from problems found in a property's title, or legal ownership.
As the buyer, how do you know the seller really owns the property? How can you be sure there are no liens, such as from unpaid taxes and lawsuits, or undisclosed heirs who might claim ownership? The answer lies in the title search.
A good title search generally turns up these types of issues. And a good title insurance policy will protect you should they arise during your ownership.

Do Christmas a little differently this year. Instead of getting a regular tree, why not channel the Carrie Bradshaw within you and get one of these Fashionista Christmas Trees instead? It departs from tradition with its irregular shape because instead of a tree, what you get is a faux fir 'tree' in the form of a classic couturier's dress.
Let your creative juices flow and dress up this year's tree like you've never dressed up a tree before. The tree itself stands at five feet tall and is already pre-strung with 150 warm white LEDs. It's also aptly topped with a matte-finish metal star because, let's face it, if you get this tree, then it's obviously going to be the star of the night for every night leading to the twenty-fifth.
If you're up for a fashionable Christmas this year, then this tree is yours for $249.95.

In 19th century America, many Protestants felt that Catholics were a threat to society because they gave allegiance to the pope and church over the laws of the land. This is an account in the Boston Courier of a mob who burned the Ursuline Convent in Charlestown, Massachusetts, to the ground. A rumor had been circulated that a young woman was being held against her will, and this incited the mob. This rumor had been investigated by the selectmen and they found that it was untrue. However, their findings were not reported in the newspaper until after the convent had been destroyed. Reaction from the citizens of Boston, at a meeting in Faneuil Hall, was overwhelmingly in support of the nuns and denounced the actions of the mob who caused property damage and danger to the occupants.

Tintoo VI is an excellent example of mid 1960's S&S design. She was built as Gabrielle III at the McGruer yard in Scotland and has had two loving owners. When the present owner purchased her she was "one owner, one captain" and he has continually updated her, with new paint, galley, and electrical work in 2017.
As GABRIELLE under her original owner she was a member of the Canadian Admirals Cup team. She participated in the Big 3 Ocean Races - Fastnet, Newport to Bermuda, and Sydney to Hobart.
She is seasonally sailed out of Genoa and should be a "must see" for the wooden boat collector!

Freedom to Marry Calls 9th Circuit Ruling "Powerful"
February 07, 2012
"Today's powerful court ruling striking down the infamous Prop 8 affirms basic American values and helps tear down a discriminatory barrier to marriage that benefits no one while making it harder for people to take care of their loved ones. The Ninth Circuit rightly held that a state simply may not take a group of people and shove them outside the law, least of all when it comes to something as important as the commitment and security of marriage. We salute the American Foundation for Equal Rights, which brought this challenge to Prop 8.
"This monumental appellate decision restores California to the growing list of states and countries that have ended exclusion from marriage, and will further accelerate the surging nationwide majority for marriage. As this and other important challenges to marriage discrimination move through the courts around the country, Freedom to Marry calls on all Americans to join us in ensuring that together we make as strong a case in the court of public opinion as our legal advocates are making in the courts of law. By growing the majority for marriage, winning more states, and tackling federal discrimination – Freedom to Marry's 'Roadmap to Victory' – we maximize our chances of winning when one case or another finally reaches the U.S. Supreme Court."
Mayors Michael Bloomberg of New York City, Annise Parker of Houston, Jerry Sanders of San Diego, and Antonio Villaraigosa of Los Angeles, who are all Chairs of Mayors for the Freedom to Marry, the bipartisan group of more than 130 mayors from across the nation who have pledged their support for ending marriage discrimination against gay and lesbian couples, underscored the importance of today's decision in a statement released this afternoon:
"As Mayors for the Freedom to Marry, we know how important marriage is to our neighborhoods, our cities, and our nation. When committed couples are able to pledge their love to one another and share in the responsibilities and protections of marriage, our communities flourish and our cities are more competitive. Today's decision by the 9th Circuit reaffirms that the American Dream is possible for everyone and brings us one step closer to ending marriage discrimination once and for all. We look forward to a day when all of our citizens will be able to share fairly and equally in the freedom to marry."
Congratulations to the couples and legal team responsible for today's historic triumph in the Ninth Circuit!

Keynote: Let the will-to-love fire the entire world with the "spirit of relationship".
Saturday, June 11th
1.30 pm - Afternoon Session, everyone welcome
~ One Flame with Countless Sparks ~
The microcosm, expressed in other terms or from the subjective point of view, is a miniature sun distinguished by the qualities of heat and light. At present that light is "under the bushel," or deeply hidden by a veil of matter, but in due process of evolution it will shine forth to such an extent that the veils will be lost from sight in a blaze of exceeding glory…as time proceeds, the emanations of heat,—due to intensification of the inner flame, coupled with the assimilated radiation of other units—will increase, and become of such proportions that the interaction between the individualised Selves will result in the merging to perfection of the flame within each one, and a blending of the heat; this will proceed until there is "one flame with countless sparks" within it.
A talk on Esoteric Dynamism: The Psychology of Fiery Motion
Transmuting Relationships Panel
Visualisation followed by Group Discussion and Meditation
3.25 pm - Tea

The Divine Equation
"Equation" comes from Latin meaning "an equal distribution, community". The Plan can be thought of as a divine equation where, through the will-to-love, adjustments made to the field of relationships will result in each human being adding a unique quality that contributes to the balanced expression of the whole i.e. the equation of the outer world with the inner realm of (absolute) unity.
Spark of the Future: The Crisis of Free Energy Sources - Teun Timmers
Would the discovery of free energy sources stimulate or hinder the emerging will-to-love and the spirit of relationship at this particular time in world history? Would it have a liberating effect or simply be a licence for increased materialism? What crises might it precipitate in the socio-economic and political spheres? What changes might occur in human philosophy if basic and cherished laws of physics were contravened? Teun Timmers has a background in theoretical physics.

~ The Spirit of Relationship ~
...And having done all, Stand… Towards the condition of Isolated Unity
We come again here to those contradictory and beautiful words: Isolated Unity. When one is isolated from form attachments and when one is freed for identification with the life aspect, then one can know the true meaning of unity, then one is released from pain and one is free to release others…
Leadership of Love – Applying the Flame of Relationship to Business
Koert Liekelema is the general manager of the European division of a large New Zealand based company. He will be discussing the challenge of applying esoteric principles in the workplace and reflecting generally on the spiritualisation of group dynamics in the business world.

And a Little Child shall Lead Them
Child Development psychologist, Selma Babayigit, discusses the drive to understand the mind of the child and overcome communication and behaviour problems through integration techniques that stimulate the sense of synthesis within. "By right education little children can be taught right attitudes and will respond, for a child sees and recognises no differences, and the truth of the Biblical promise that "a little child shall lead them" will be proven scientifically true."
Tiger and the Big Wind
Kerry Woodward talks about his experiences of composing a piece of music for a group of inner city children in Holland who were each given a musical instrument of their own choice to play in an orchestra, thus learning the message of unity that music can broadcast. The performance of his composition based on a Ghanaian folk tale, adapted to highlight the importance of sharing and right relationships, was attended by Princess Maxima.

RAH wrote this book in response to what he viewed as a wave of "pacificism" that swept over the US during the late 50's and early 60's . It was a thought provoking novel about the role and purpose of the military in a modern society and the responsibility of the citizentry to that society. How that book became this movie reflects more on the society that we have become (dumbing down is the phrase that comes to mind)then the "fascist" ideals that RAH was roasted for then (really a military coming of age book). gut the book of any intelligence, then whip up a mishmash of alien/species/star wars/private ryan/titanic ( i dunno ) ripoffs that is cobbled together with as much violence as time and dollars will allow. Then add the sorriest group of actors (except Michael Ironside)that ever embarrassed themselves before an audience..god I was pulling for the bugs!!!

Starship Troopers is the most fun i've had watching a film. It's basically an updated WW2 flick with enough twists and emotion to reach any hard hearted SOB.
Check out the animated series as well. it kicks ass!

One of the most inexplicably "bad" good movies of our time. I remember once hearing Paul Verhoeven explain this movie as trying to revive the classic B-level "kill all the giant monsters movie". Well he failed miserably, but I think this film is not without merit. The action scenes are exciting,though perplexing(man can send itself millions of miles across galaxies to fight an unknown enemy, yet doesn't understand the concept of artillery or even sending a goddamn tank to save thousands of worthless grunts). For my money, a better movie would involve the facists sending super-smart cyborgs to fight the bugs, Paul Verhoeven could then draw on deeper themes like he did in the much better Robocop. No, actually that would suck too. Also, why the hell isn't Denise Richards naked like in Wild Things. Her tits would make me forget every single flaw.

I enjoyed the action in this one, I loved seeing people get ripped to pieces. Sure, everything was computer animated, but over the years, I've learned to cope with every movie being little more than a cartoon. The only thing that made me queasy about the movie, was the acting, save Michael Ironside. Basically, everytime I watch this, I hope, by some miracle, that the ending will magically change, and every bad actor in this movie gets ripped to bloody pieces.

When my friends and I first watched this movie,
we alternated between making fun of it and begging
to turn it off. We made it through to the end, our
brains scarred for life.
The first problem I noted was, why are we invading
their planet? The humans (as in real life) are
agressive war mongers who decide it is their divine
right to own the universe. From that point on, I
was rooting for the aliens, who were really just
defending their home.
The psuedo-jock heroes didnt score points with me
either, acting like testosterone laden zombies who
the director screamed "over-act!" at on random
occasions. Michael Ironside was the only character
who made sense and added an enjoyment factor
to this turkey.
The tatoos have been mentioned, make no sense,
and only add to the eye rolling about these
moronic characters.
Another thing thats been mentioned but cannot have
enough said on it is the lack of support the soldiers
had. When watching the movie, I continued to ponder
what had happened to air support since the napalm
dropping in Vietnam. No fighters, no bombers, just
a small group of guys kicked out of the transport
with puny rifles and a tatoo for armour.
The bugs were made with astounding computer
animation. However there were some very noticeable
model/parts that were not animated which stuck
out. Maybe because of my experience with computer graphics and animation, it was more obvious to me, dont know...
Finaly the brain bug gets captured, surrounded by
hundreds of armed bloodthirsty warriors as its
race lay dead or dying, and it takes a psychic to know "its scared"...and everyone cheers like that
was a big secret. If they had animated it p**sing
itself it couldnt have been more obvious. When it was over, I honestly couldnt believe movies
that bad could be made in this day and age. I have
since been proven wrong, but this one will ramain
etched in my memory as one of the worst movies of
the decade. I may buy it just for the amazing
potential for mocking it.

Starship Troopers
By Brian Cole
Starship Troopers is one great movie -- unless you make the mistake of taking is seriously.
The most memorable sequence, I believe, is when the photogenic Denise Richards is impaled through her left shoulder by a 14-foot arachnid. (Throughout most of the movie all she is allowed to do is advertise her orthodontist's work.) This can't be much different than being crucified you die from shock, blood loss and sheer agony. You are at least expected to pass out.
But not Denise.
She is impaled, then lifted off the ground by the arachnid and dropped in front of the "brain bug" which wants to suck her brains out. (What a waste.) But Denise manages to slice off the brain bug's sucking appendage (call it whatever you want). Then she jumps to her feet, Johnny Rico has arrived, and is able to handle an automatic weapon.
She then shoots the arachnids and makes a run for it because a fallen soldier is about to detonate a portable nuke. At the last moment, she jumps into a ravine, escaping the blast.
She then emerges with Johnny out of the cave into the sunlight with the rest of the victorious troopers. They caught the brain bug!
She rejoices with the rest of the gang, then walks away arm-in-arm with Johnny and Neil Patrick Harris optimistic about the War Against The Bug.
I wish I could be like Denise. She never calls for a medic; never passes out; doesn't bleed to death; and is able to put the glow of victory above her mangled shoulder and chest.
What else is there to say about Starship Troopers? Only that there are at least a dozen other funny sequences leading up to Denise's valiant performance of her duty.
Show up lobotomized, and you'll love Starship Troopers.

I think the person who did the review who said this was a good movie disguised as a really bad movie has a point (but I don't necessarily agree with). The idea of the movie Starship Troopers, as I read it, was about militarism like the novel, but it took the polar opposite view of it. The movies point seemed to be about how silly militarism was, about how patriotic fervor and rushing off to "fight the good fight" simply results in alot of young people dying horrible, pointless deaths on some distant rock. In that way, it comes across brilliantly, though I don't agree with it. Now, I'm a big fan of Heinleins work (despite some of his later stuff with tends to be rant heavy) and I kind of found the fact that they went in the complete opposite direction of book (one of the points of the book is tha militarism is necessary for the survival of the state) a bit offensive. Starship Troopers is a very thought provoking novel. I don't agree with all of Heinleins politics and I found the society in the book a bit disturbing, but to take the name and some of the names of the characters and then trash the whole point of the very well written novel to me is wrong. They shouldn't step all over his work like that.

this is, in my opinion, the best film on this site. If you have see the DVD commentary, you learn at the end that the film wasn't supposed to be about attacking bugs at all. It was trying to say that the government isn't always right. But I think Rob Heinlein, who wrote the novel, could've created a better scenario for who the troope had to fight rather than fictional planets with oversized bugs. I haven't seen the film for a while, but i I think there was this bug who was this gigantic blue glob who sat in the middle of outer space and destroyed ships. No meterors. No sattelites. Just ships. You'd think it'd destroy everything around it wouldn't you?

The only comment that I have about this show which hasn't already been quite excellently covered is this:
I'm not sure the MI in this show deserve artillery support, if they're so unprofessional that when the CO sticks his head in with an alert for two of his troopers (Rico and Wusserface who dies minutes later), finds them in flagrante, and rather than yell their asses off for wasting energy like that, SMILES INDULGENTLY and tells them they've got EXTRA TIME TO GET READY! Errrr....
I think Paul Verhoeven must have taken a serious blow to the head just prior to filming (but, always remember, there's some screenwriters to heap blame on as well). I thought the exterior scenes in space were pretty good. If you haven't seen this yet, go rent the animated series; it's superior in many ways (better armour, slightly more professionalism, no giant lips on the actors, &ct).

The Starship Troopers Film adaptation (Henceforth refered to as "Nazis in Space", it sure as hell ain't Starship Troopers) is the worst interpritation of Heinleins novel. The only thing "Nazis In Space" as in common with the Starship Troopers novel is the title and names of the characters, ships, and planets. Oh yeah, they keep the Bugs, however the bugs in the Novel are more intellegent.
Also the Government system portrayed in the book is more akin to the Athenian government, with Veterans the only ones alowed to vote. In "Nazis in Space", the govenment system is a Socialist Dictatorship.
Now we get to the Powered Suits, the vehicles that give the Mobile Infantry it's name. These magnificant Machines are left out of "Nazis in Space". Think "Top Gun" without the Fighter Jets, that's the same scenario you have with "Nazis in Space".
In conclusion: If you want to check out Heinlein's work, go read the book or watch a "Fansub" of the Japanese Animated version (Yes there is one out, but only in Japan). If you want utter crap that is a deviation from the book it's allegedly based upon, "Nazis in Space" is for you.

well when i first saw the trailer the immediate thought was.. 'wow an aliens like story with more bugs and more guns (not they're any good)'
i quite enjoyed it at the time which was a long time ago! and i forgot about it, then they showed it on TV and then i thought..'wait a minute this ain't the same...', i then thought this movie was utter crap... the acting was pants and i agree with the above... the military should have kicked ass. there is also a cheesy factor involved that i don't like.
The only problem with the review is that there was a line saying theres some nudity but no one we want to c nude.. hmm i dunno, i quite liked dizzy NOT rico though lol... too bad dizzy had to die she had a certain sexy but mean b***h about her.
So to conclude... its an ok movie with some laughs, robocop like news clips inserted... er... actually its quite pants :P except for dizy hmmm lol

Aguante Buenos Aires. Creo que los alienigenas la atacaron porque era la capital del mundo para esa altura.
Pierde mucho con la traduccion al ingles, mejor seria verla en su espaniol original.
(Buenos Aires rules. I think aliens attacked it because it was the capitol of the world by that time.

As I saw the film before reading the novel, I heartily agree that the film makers ignored the points Heinlein was making when he wrote Starship Troopers. The Afrika Korps-style caps everyone wore gave me a chuckle ("Oh, they dress like Nazis, this must be a fascist society"). Several previous posts here already explain the socio-political points that I would have expressed had I seen this review sooner.
I have to chime in on the technical points of the film though. As stated earlier, what happened to the ideas of, say, preliminary bombardment, air support (one incendiary raid by six bombers, and it's not even in support of ground troops?), armor, artillery, mobility (these guys drop in and then move about ON FOOT?), and tactics? I should also mention the glaring discrepancy regarding technology in the film. If I understand correctly, soldiers of the future carry hand-held nuclear weapons, travel between solar systems, etc... but they still use magazine-fed automatic rifles? Nobody's developed more advanced small arms by then? I'd love to know who controlled the allocation of military funding in the future portrayed in this bomb (pardon the pun).
One last note: the ship "Rodger Young" was named after a hero of the struggle on Guadalcanal (which took place in World War 2 for you history-class snoozers out there).

Bed Bath & Beyond, purveyors of inoffensive household items and radioactive isotopes, has been busted by the feds after "contaminated tissue holders may [were] sent to more than 20 states," the Washington Post reports. The "Dual Ridge Metal" tissue holder sported a "brushed metal" look and traces of "cobalt-60," which is typically used for things like sterilizing medical equipment and killing cancer cells, not holding tissues. The Post reports each box would give you a few chest x-rays' worth of radiation each year if kept in a typical bathroom setting. That's no good!
Luckily, the boxes have been yanked, and BB&B will give you a full refund if you'd like to return the radioactive tissue holder they sold you. The customer is always right. [WaPo via Consumerist]

I think that women psychologically we've always been more emotionally invested in the way that we look as quarter of vs who by analogy.

After 11 Years in Digital Video, YouTube Wants to With on TV-Sized Budgets - Adweek
It isn't always hands down to pair up the suits of the marketing world with those freewheeling kids that make the buzziest videos in the digisphere. So up to date July at VidCon, the annual digital video conference held in Anaheim, Calif., YouTube set up a "skedaddle dating" event, hoping to play matchmaker between advertisers and creators. Among the talent mingling with marketers was Rachel Levin, a rising dreamboat vlogger who immediately hit it off with the people behind the anti-smoking initiative Truth. "She wasn't originally on our radar," admits Justin Hooper, band creative director at 72andSunny, the agency handling Truth. She'll be on just about everyone's radar this week at the Digital Satisfaction NewFronts in New York where YouTube will pitch Levin and other charismatic stars from its creators' stable at its Brandcast occasion. Levin, though still a relative unknown, seems like an easy sell—she's recently entered rarified YouTube air by glancing by the way the 1 billion view mark. What's more, her YouTube subscribers have shot up from 1. 9 million to 7. 6 million in the done year, and her videos get watched 3. 5 million times per week. Such numbers are why Truth execs mould her for their "It's a Trap" campaign after learning that, in her personal life, she had little patience for cigarettes. "She had so much enthusiasm and believed in the make so much [that it] seemed like a total no-brainer to use her," Hooper says. The commercial has been viewed 6. 5 million times (a big many for a PSA) on YouTube since August. Levin's secret to success is "only putting out content that I'm super proud of," she says. "I skilled in what videos my audience likes to see, and I've maintained a good connection with my audience. On the business level for YouTube, connecting brands to up-and-comers like Levin and her peers—there's always a necessary for fresh faces in this business—is central to its burgeoning Google Preferred program. Google Preferred lets marketers buy unskippable pre-docket ads purely against the highest-performing YouTube stars—it will be front and center at Brandcast for a third consecutive year. While YouTube remains the biggest digital video sportswoman on the scene, its goal of chipping away at big, traditional media budgets is particularly important this year. Source: www.adweek.com

The Anderson-Abruzzo Albuquerque International Balloon Museum is a museum dedicated to the worldwide history, science, and art of all types of ballooning and lighter than air flight. It's located in Albuquerque New Mexico.
Opened on October 1, 2005, it is owned by the city of Albuquerque and is a collaborative project of the Anderson-Abruzzo International Balloon Museum Foundation and the City of Albuquerque's Cultural Services Division. It is a 59,000-square-foot (5,500 m2) facility with class rooms, conference rooms, and many exhibits on the history of ballooning.
New Mexico is a state located in the southwestern region of the United States. Inhabited by Native American populations for many centuries, it has also been part of the Imperial Spanish viceroyalty of New Spain, part of Mexico, and a U.S. territory. Among U.S. states, New Mexico has the highest percentage of Hispanics at 45% (2008 estimate), being descendants of Spanish colonists and recent immigrants from Latin America. It also has the third-highest percentage of Native Americans after Alaska and Oklahoma, and the fifth-highest total number of Native Americans after California, Oklahoma, Arizona, and Texas. The tribes represented in the state consist of mostly Navajo and Pueblo peoples. As a result, the demographics and culture of the state are unique for their strong Spanish, Mexican, and Native American cultural influences. At a population density of 16 per square mile, New Mexico is the sixth most sparsely inhabited U.S. state.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_mexico]

In "Spring Fever, part 1," we posted Andrew McCarthy's comments on current events related to his incredibly timely new Encounter Books ebook, Spring Fever: The Illusion of Islamic Democracy. Encounter Books publisher Roger Kimball writes that this is Encounter's first ebook only book. Roger also advises that the book files have been posted to the major vendors and should be live in a day or two, although the book is available for pre-order now: "We were going to wait until next week to roll this out but the tragic events in Libya and Egypt over the last day or so vividly corroborate Andy's argument — that those who hoped that the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamist groups in Egypt, Libya, and other Middle Eastern countries betokens not the burgeoning of beneficent democracy but rather a descent into theocratic tyranny — that we decided to broadcast news of the book now."
Roger writes that the short video below (produced by my daughter Eliana Johnson for Encounter) "was made last week, but it might have been made last night on the streets of Benghazi or Cairo." Please check out the video and consider ordering this important new book.

The newly renovated Oak Hill Child, Adolescent and Family Center, located at 2805 Metropolitan Parkway in Atlanta, officially re-opens Thursday, Feb. 7 with a ribbon cutting ceremony at 10 am. The center sits on a 22-acre campus and will provide coordinated care to children and their families from all over Fulton County.
This is the fourth integrated health/service center the Fulton Board of Commissioners has opened in the four years since pledging to combat health disparities. Formerly a setting for behavioral health care, services at Oak Hill have been expanded to include specialty medical and oral health, an education center, and youth workforce development.
A new addition is a teaching kitchen which will be used to provide nutrition education and healthy cooking classes. The campus also features a garden, a gymnasium and a walk/run track. AARA (American Recovery and Reinvestment Act) funding paid for a majority of the 10-month renovation.

A week later, we're all good. A weekend sweep will do that.
Okay, it could be that we're swinging a little too far towards the positive after going way over into the negative (or at least what passes for negative from us.) Some of you haven't quite managed to get the taste of the past few weeks from your mouth, and to be honest, we haven't quite either. Getting a weekend to pound on the NL Central is fun and all, but it still featured a pretty sparse lineup that, for the most part, continues to struggle.1
Still, if there's some saving grace, it is that that the brain trust of the organization seems at the very least prepared to adapt and adjust course at this point of the season, and that they recognize the failings of the team as constructed. The announcement last week that José Bautista would return to the infield to patrol third base might have been seen as a radical move in some markets, but given the year-long exhibition of Jayson Nix's offensive befuddlement and Edwin Encarnacion's immunity to Brian Butterfield's magical defensive coaching powers, Jays fans were ready to give up some of the One Man Gang's outfield worth in favour of a rebalancing of the lineup.
Mind you, the Jays brought up Eric Thames and sat him on Sunday afternoon in spite of the right-hander on the mound. Of course, this speaks to the deeper problem of having one centrefielder who can't hit, three leftfielders to cycle through and only Corey Patterson to fill in up the middle.2
Still, all indications seem to be that Travis Snider will return as soon as he gets a few more games in AAA to shake of the post-beaning rust, and Brett Lawrie will be recalled at the earliest possible time. So there's forward motion, of a sort.
And with all of this, the Jays still sit at an even .500, with a 39-39 record. Now think about all that's gone wrong with this team, and the injuries and backsliding, and the fact that a guy who most wouldn't have figured to make the bullpen is now the team's second-best starter...and yet this team is still ahead of where many of us thought they'd be this year.
Those are small mercies, to be sure. But there are still embers of optimism to be stoked.
1. The Ricky Romero two-run single is really fun, and we can all enjoy it. But take those two runs he drove in and set them aside, and it underscores the paucity of offensive production that the Jays continue to get, especially from Rajai Davis.
2. And boy howdy! Didn't Corey Patterson do an exquisite job of demonstrating his inability to play CF yesterday.

I was out at young park in blue springs and between one of my nine hole rounds and the next 18 someone broke into my step dads truck and stole his wallet, a frequent flyer card for dg world, and a free disc coupon. If anybody knows of anything please let me know. Also lock your doors, the theft punched the lock in on the outside of his truck and broke in. Being in Blue Springs I thought I was some what safe, guess NOT.
that and the tranny is about shot. Hoping it will make it through the weekend though!

all those who fail to address these issues betray their bad faith when they say they want justice and truth to prevail in order to reconcile the nation. many have already revealed bad faith (esp. when they commented on so called un panel/darusman report).
why only sri lanka is subjected to such an inquiry? are we the only ones that supposedly committed war crimes while fighting against terrorists? to take an example among many, what about the west in iraq, afghanistan, and pakistan? how does one advocate such a double standard inquiry when justice demands one standard for all? bc west is powerful and we, who are not, must obey? bc we, as 'inferiors' (racially or otherwise), must not demand equal treatment?
why is there an attempt (as with so called un/darusman panel) to focus only on suffering and wrongs of a section of sri lankans at one point of time, instead of all? why this separation of victims? is that justice? was sufferings of rest of us (few nauseating proofs here and here) inferior? how? can such arbitrary differentiations lead to reconciliation?
why now, after we defeated terrorists? why the focus only on last days of tamil tiger terrorists? why was our suffering from terrorists not inquired into for 30+ years? why many many crimes against humanity committed by terrorists not worthy of inquiry then? why did self styled humanitarians and human right advocates do nothing then? why same ppl who push for an international inquiry now, pushed us to appease the murderers then? why didn't same ppl and countries help us defeat the terrorists with least human loss, instead of opposing any attempt to defeat terrorists and end their crimes and our suffering? why no inquiry into terrorists collecting funds in west with help of some western politicians?
are some of the things we are accused of really 'war crimes'? are they not accidents, 'collateral damage', use of human shields by terrorists, etc., etc., common in any attempt to defeat terrorists? why these distinctions made for west's defense elsewhere, but in our case all these are 'crimes'? are we not right to suspect that, in western eyes, our main 'war crime' was our disregard for their pressure not to defeat terrorists (hence arbitrary focus of requested 'international' inquiry and illegitimate un/darusman panel, only on events after we disregarded west's call not to defeat ltte)? how is that justice?
shouldn't there be substantiated evidence before accusations are made? shouldn't those accused have a right to examine at first hand, and question (and cross question) the allegations and those who who make them, before such allegations are judged 'credible'? isn't prejudging this, as so called un/darusman panel did, an injustice?
didn't western funded ngos (like human rights watch, amnesty international, and international crisis group,) making the allegations, fail to appear, produce evidence, and face questions, before a legally constituted sri lankan inquiry when requested? wasn't their subsequent demand for an inquiry with 'international standards' that do not exist anywhere else (see above), rather than normal legal standards accepted by all (including sri lankan inquiry) a call for injustice and special treatment (betraying their colonial mindset)?
must be addressed
these are the questions that must be addressed by those who call for an 'independent inquiry with international standards' if they have any pretensions to intellectual honesty and integrity. it is impossible to claim such an inquiry, is independent, maintains legal standards, serves justice and truth, and leads to reconciliation, without answering these questions.
so far almost all those who have called for an 'international' inquiry have failed to address these issues. this is especially noticeable in articles, internet postings, and media interviews, etc., these ppl gave after the publication of so called un panel/darusman report. by not addressing them they betray their bad faith and disregard for justice and equality.
we, sri lankans, should not be afraid to assert ourselves and demand (aggressively if need be) that ppl who call for an 'international' inquiry must address these issues, bc it is we who are being slandered and denied justice and equality. in some cases we would be (and have been) accused for rudeness and subjected to censorship when we demand our basic rights by raising these issues. that is the usual mode of all such oppressors.
by demanding justice and equality, and exposing hypocrisy of those who fail to address these questions, we will overcome.
we should not hesitate to confront with these questions those sri lankans dependent on western funds (esp in ngos) who join with their paymasters in calling for an 'international' inquiry. failure to address or even recognize these issues, by this sort of willing slaves, deserve open contempt. let them go crying to their masters with our spit on their faces.
those who try to sidestep these questions by saying 'we should not be afraid of an inquiry if we have nothing to hide', or 'we should inquire into our actions regardless of whether west will inquire in to theirs in iraq etc.' are missing the point. we, sri lankans, should in fact inquire into our actions in sri lanka under sri lankan law. we should criticize any undue delay or shortcoming in such a sri lankan inquiry.
however shortcomings or not, nothing can justify our submitting to an unjust and unequal inquiry approved and forced upon us by west. anyone honestly addressing the questions above will realize that any 'international' inquiry constituted at present will be unjust, will treat us unfairly, and serve only western interests.

The Waynesboro Maidens volleyball team is off and running in 2013.
WILLIAMSPORT — The Waynesboro Maidens volleyball team is off and running in 2013.
On Saturday, the Maidens won the 21st annual Warrior Tip-Off Classic High School Tournament at Lycoming College, going 9-1 on the day.
Waynesboro swept Middletown, 25-15 and 25-11 in its first match of the tournament as Zoe Harris (9 kills), Rachel Eyler (8 kills) and Hannah Kauffman (7 kills) combined for 24 kills and Megan Biesecker collected 20 set assists. Sierra Davies and Emily Egolf added seven digs and five digs, respectively.
"We played consistently and well enough to get the first win under our belts," said Waynesboro head coach Kim Saunders. "We had 56 quality swings, which provided our hitters with the concept of how many times a match we will need them to attack."
The Maidens defeated Hanover 25-13, 25-21 to run its record to 4-0 in the tournament.
"The tournament tempo is different than a single match," Saunders pointed out. "We had back to back morning matches, which tested us in match two to be quick starters."
Waynesboro started strong with the serving of Davies (5 aces) and Alyssa Taylor. Harris (10 kills) and Kauffman (8 kills) provided a strong attack at the net. Taylor also added eight digs to pace the Maidens on defense. Biesecker guided the offense with 23 assists and two aces.
The only glitch in the machine was giving up eight points on net violations.
"We can't afford to give any team eight points from careless brushes at the net," Saunders said. "We need to work on hand/arm control, closing the block and self-discipline on when to block or not to block."
Waynesboro then swept Sayre High School 25-15, 25-11 to go to 6-0.
"We saw a lot of good movement and play during the match," Saunders noted. "Holly Roth, Taylore Jones and Hailey Stum all had a positive presence at the net, playing big and with confidence. Freshman Cierra Rosenberger was inserted in the game defensively, shaking off her nerves and coming up with a key tempo pass to target that resulted the sequence with a kill."
Kauffman registered seven kills. Harris had five kills and three aces, while Taylor recorded eight digs and four aces.
The Maidens continued to roll with a two-set victory against Cedar Cliff by the scores of 25-12 and 25-16.
Kauffman (8 kills), Harris (6 kills) and Eyler (5 kills) kept up the pressure at the net. Taylor (8 digs), Lynnae Stine (6 digs) and Jordan Stoops (6 digs) led the defense. Stine and Taylor each had two aces.
"I thought the ladies started strong and played our tempo," Saunders said. "Jordan Stoops had her best match as a Maiden. She served a string of seven points and followed each with key digs that allowed us to run our offense effectively. Lynnae Stine had a marvelous match defensively and p layed with confidence."
Waynesboro needed to win one of two sets in what would turn out to be the championship mach against Towanda High School.
The Maidens outlasted their opponents 25-23 in the first set and lost the second set.
"I called an early time out to settle everyone down. Some of the ladies had not experienced the intensity of a championship match and needed the reassurance of how and why we were in this position," Saunders said. "I placed emphasis on playing our style and pushing the positive for each point."
After the time out, Waynesboro rallied to tie the game at 23. Waynesboro shook off the pressure and pounced on a light serve for a quick outside kill. A hitting error gave the Maidens the championship.
"I'm extremely pleased in our performance. This is a huge accomplishment and momentum builder for the Maidens volleyball program," Saunders said. "The girls believe they will achieve with continued preparation and hard work."

Chinese Gov't Not A Big Fan Of User-Generated Video; Expands Great Firewall To License All Video Sites
from the bureaucracy-and-user-generated-content-don't-mix deptIt's well known that China goes to tremendous lengths to censor and block certain types of content online through a combination of tens of thousands of "internet police" combined with vague rules that are left up to various ISPs to enforce or face sanctions (meaning they tend to be even more quick to block than they may need to be). It appears that even that wasn't enough to deal with the rise of user-generated video sites in the country. The Chinese government has a new policy demanding that all video upload sites must get a license from the government, must be state-owned or state-controlled and (of course) must not allow any video that "involves national secrets, hurts the reputation of China, disrupts social stability or promotes pornography." As the article notes, this likely effects most Chinese YouTube clones (who are mostly private, rather than state-owned), though it's unclear how it will impact foreign sites, such as YouTube itself. The most likely outcome is that ISPs will soon start banning those sites completely in favor of the limited state-owned sites. Such is life on the internet behind the Great Firewall.

Researchers in Oxford University's Department of Inorganic Chemistry have devised a novel method for separating polar organic compounds, providing a useful alternative to the usual methods of chromatography or crystallisation.
The separation of mixtures of organic and inorganic compounds is of considerable importance in most areas of industrial and academic chemistry. In particular, isomeric mixtures are often difficult to separate and can require highly specialised techniques.
Conventional separation techniques involving chromatography or absorption are capable of removing impurities from process streams. Isomeric mixtures can be separated by crystallisation and other methods, but this is usually difficult due to the similar physical properties of the isomers. Any improvement in the efficiency or selectivity of a separation process can lead to increased product purity and significant cost savings.

Due to the special arrangement of its molecules, a new coating made of corn starch is able to repair small scratches by itself through heat: The cross-linking via ring-shaped molecules makes the material mobile, so that it compensates for the scratches and these disappear again.
Superficial micro-scratches on the car body or on other high-gloss surfaces are harmless, but annoying. Especially in the luxury segment such surfaces are...
The Potsdam Echelle Polarimetric and Spectroscopic Instrument (PEPSI) at the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT) in Arizona released its first image of the surface magnetic field of another star. In a paper in the European journal Astronomy & Astrophysics, the PEPSI team presents a Zeeman- Doppler-Image of the surface of the magnetically active star II Pegasi.
A special technique allows astronomers to resolve the surfaces of faraway stars. Those are otherwise only seen as point sources, even in the largest telescopes...
Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology and the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, have proposed a way to create a completely new source of radiation. Ultra-intense light pulses consist of the motion of a single wave and can be described as a tsunami of light. The strong wave can be used to study interactions between matter and light in a unique way. Their research is now published in the scientific journal Physical Review Letters.
"This source of radiation lets us look at reality through a new angle - it is like twisting a mirror and discovering something completely different," says...

Yale Holds 40-15 Edge in Kills, Serves Up Eight Aces
NEW HAVEN, Conn. -- Jesse Ebner and Mollie Rogers blasted 11 kills each in a sweep of Harvard on Friday night.
The scores of the match were 25-17, 25-15 and 25-18. The Bulldogs improved to 8-3 overall and 2-0 in the conference, while Harvard fell to 6-5 and 1-1 in Ivy play.
Yale dominated the first set and never looked back.
McHaney Carter broke a 2-all tie with a kill and Yale went on to score five of the next six points. Yale maintained a five-point lead to 10-5, then Tori Shepherd took the Bulldogs to another level.
Shepherd served off seven straight points, which included two aces, to increase Yale's lead to 17-5. Yale had eight aces in the match and held a 40-15 edge in kills.
The Bulldogs scored 11 of the first 14 points and hit .355 as a team in the second set. Harvard responded with five of the next six points to cut its deficit to 12-8 until Kendall Polan shifted the momentum.
Polan's kill started an 8-2 run that included three kills from Ebner and two from Rogers to push Yale's lead to 20-10. Polan finished with 27 assists, 12 digs and four kills.
After a Harvard service error opened the third set, Ebner served five straight points and the Bulldogs opened up another quick lead at 6-1 -- a lead they never gave up. Later in the set, Rogers smashed a kill and then served up an ace to increase the lead to 18-10.
Kelly Johnson set up a Polan kill, then Polan set up another Rogers kill to increase Yale's lead to 20-10. Johnson finished with nine assists, eight kills and seven digs.
The Bulldogs host Dartmouth tomorrow at 5 p.m.
