They should get them pretty quick I think. That depends on what
you think is a "good" movie. I tend to stray away from cheesy
Hollywood blockbuster films. To me, they are just for wow factor

special effects over that every time. From what I have heard,

-0.982177 | 3.252523 | 126 | Saturday, January 13, 2007 Selective Perception, Global
Warming, and self delusion A few weeks ago I was talking with a
college student, a daughter of some old friends, who had taken a
course from an environmentalist professor who apparently claimed
that the world temperature had gone up by seven degrees in the
last decade or two--she wasn't sure of the precise numbers. She
expressed the view that snowy winters were now a thing of the
past, offering the (then current, midwest) warmth as evidence.
Currently, the midwest is caught in a severe ice storm and
California, where I live, is unseasonably cold instead of
unseasonably warm. I have not, however, heard anyone offering
that as evidence that the next ice age is impending, and I doubt
that the student has revised her predictions. Of course, the
current weather isn't evidence of global cooling, or at least
not significant evidence. Nor was the weather a few weeks ago
significant evidence for global warming. But once people believe

Just a few small dings and scratches. None of the dings are very
deep, maybe a cm or two. The nose of the board has maybe a rough
part that's dinged up, but not too deep. Maybe an inch or two in
diameter. Are these something I need to worry about? Do I
need to have them fixed or filled in before I use the board?
None of the them are particularly big, but still I want to make
sure the board is sea worthy. Thanks! 2. #2 If the board
is dry you need to make sure to get them fixed so it is
watertight, if you have taken it out with open dings recently

originator of Action painting, an abstract, purely formal, and

worked from observable reality, primarily from figures and the
landscape. From 1950 to 1955 de Kooning completed his famous
Women series, integrating the human form with the agressive
paint application, bold colors, and sweeping strokes of Abstract
Expressionism. These female "portraits" provoked controversy not
only for their vulgar carnality and garish colors, but also
because of their embrace of figural representation, a choice
deemed regressive by many of de Kooning's Abstract Expressionist
contemporaries, but one to which he returned repeatedly over the
course of his career. In the latter half of the 1950s de
Kooning turned to the landscape as the basis for a series of

Winter brings lower temperatures, snow and many health risks
that people may not be aware of. Knowing some of the unexpected
concerns of winter can help you take the necessary steps to
avoid them. 1. Raynaud's Disease/Raynaud's Phenomenon
Raynaud's is a disorder marked by a vasospasm, or a narrowing of
the blood vessels, in response to cold air that approximately
five percent of the U.S. population suffers from, according to
the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI). A
vasospasm causes blood flow to reduce to the fingers and toes,
and occasionally to areas like the nose, ears and lips. During
an attack, little or no blood flows to affected body parts
according to the NHLBI. "When I'm having an attack, my fingers,
and sometimes toes, will start to feel numb and lose color,"
Esme Artz, Raynaud's sufferer, said. "They'll turn white and/or

Though the author of those words appears to imply it was The Big

will it hurt? This is usually the first question everyone asks,
particularly if you have had a cortisone shot previously.
Believe it or not, NO. You don't believe me, do you? Well, let
me put it this way: I can give a shot to a child under age 10
and 99% of the time the child does not cry. How is that for
proof? You know that a child will cry if it really hurts, and
the only reason they don't cry is that it didn't. I have been
doing this for years, and the most common reaction from a
patient who has just had a shot is, "How did you do that? That
didn't even hurt!" How do I do it painlessly? I put fast
acting numbing medicine in the shot. What is it? Lidocaine (a
numbing medicine) that I have specially buffered (made the pH
the same as the body's) to take all of the sting out of it and
to speed up how fast it works. The Lidocaine usually is
effective in one to two seconds. Amazing, right? This way, you

was once enormously wealthy (he made the Forbes 400 list in the

drawing to a better hand that your opponent cannot make. "Most
common" simply means that some situations would have a higher
statistical probablility than the others. IMO the term can only
be applied during a showdown or in a later analysis i.e. only
after you have seen the opponent's cards. Knowing statistically
most common situations will not improve your game - when you

Mayfield home. (Lloyd Fox, Baltimore Sun / August 15, 2013)
When Jonathon Scott Fuqua was 13 years old, he and his older
brother put on their swimming trunks and went surfing during a
Florida hurricane. The wind bent the palm trees rimming the
Gulf of Mexico nearly double, like boomerangs. The teens were
buffeted by waves as tall as a house. During a brief rest on a
sandbar, Scott looked over his shoulder and saw a huge shark
silhouetted in the water about 15 feet away. He was certain that
any moment, razor-sharp teeth would close around his calves and
pull him under. As he began to swim hard for the shore, he held
tight to the image in his mind's eye of a place with firm
footing and abundant oxygen. If his determination never
wavered, perhaps that's because he'd spent his entire life out-
maneuvering his own self-doubt — a predator that was faster than
any shark and just as deadly. That was more than 30 years ago.

Pallai town in Jaffna PTI Jan 8, 2009, 04.42pm IST COLOMBO:
Maintaining the momentum of their offensive, Sri Lankan army
captured more Tiger held areas, wresting the Pallai town in
Jaffna peninsula, a day after officially banning the LTTE. As
the ground forces kept up their advance to capture the key
Elephant Pass and towards the Tigers' military headquarters
located at the coastal town of Mulaitivu, Air Force jets
destroyed two sea Tiger boats near Kilinochchi, officials said.
"Troops of the 53rd and 55th Divisions, moved from Killali and
Muhamale to capture the strategic Pallai town early this
morning," a statement from the Army Headquarters said as the
Tigers retreated to the Pass, which links Killinochchi with
Jaffna. The town earlier was a base for Tiger long range
artillery guns as it commanded axis to both the Jaffna and
Killinochchi battlefields. The fresh advance by the military
came as the Army chief Lt Gen Sarath Fonseka rubbished cl |
1.845719 | 0.183448 | 44 | Take the 2-minute tour × A friend and I have decided to start
learning Mas. 'Avodah Zarah. Our goal, however, is not to just
pick a random Masechta of Gemara and learn it with the
commentaries on the Daf. Our actual goal is to learn a Masechta
that neither of us has studied in all our years of Yeshivah, and
learn it Be'Iyun - we want to come out at the end with a strong
understanding of not only the Shakla VeTarya, but the underlying
themes and the applicable laws. Besides Rashi/Tosafoth and
presumably RaMBa"M Hil. 'Avodah Zarah, what other Meforashim and
Poskim should we study? Someone suggested 'Ein Ya'akov to us.
If we wanted to create a curriculum for ourselves, how should we
go about it? share|improve this question Behatzlacha with your
learning! – Isaac Moses Jan 8 '13 at 15:48 This could be a

"The advantage I see for Apple to make a success, is they can
get games ported much more easily now. This is the must have to
survive. Games are the most overlooked aspect of home PC
markets. " since when did apple get directx? most games require
that. changing processors only means apple will have to
recompile programs that are already written for mac to work with
mac intel. its not going to speed up writing games for mac.
unless you count the compile time which is likely to be faster

0.757765 | 2.017804 | 75 | Thursday, February 6, 2014 What's NOT Funny About Why My Kid Is
Crying. There's a meme going around entitled, "Why My Kid Is
Crying." It features about 30 photos of children crying in
various situations. The "reason" for the child's distress is
chronicled in each photo. The meme is meant to illicit
laughter as well as empathy. The message seems to be, "Yes, my
child cries at what I perceive to be silly, ridiculous and
sometimes outlandish reasons. Let's all laugh at them and nod
in mutual understanding of how silly, ridiculous and outlandish
our precious children can be." At first I wanted to forward the
meme on my Facebook with a quip like, "We may laugh, but let us
not forget that when our children cry like this, their distress
is REAL and the challenge to overcome this distress and return
to a state of homeostasis is integral to their healthy
development that we as parents must be mindful to offer the
appropriate understanding." I did it, and deleted it almost
immediately. The quip was just too i |
3.319618 | 4.988652 | 2 | Video Game: Super Hostile Before Minecraft had ruins to
explore, bosses to fight, and hunger to manage, the community
wanted a challenge. They were tired of the great expanse of
Minecraft, tired of building and wandering aimlessly. They
looked for a goal to work for, a challenge to be had, and they
found the architect of that challenge in a player named Vechs.
And what a challenge they found. Super Hostile is a series of
Minecraft custom maps, ranging from challenging to insanely
difficult. Each is built with a different theme in mind, a
multitude of traps and monsters, and a single goal: Collecting
every color of wool and every mineral blocknote . Every wool is
found in a chest inside of a brick box, and is bound to be
surrounded by traps. Wool boxes are either placed around the
landscape or in a dungeon, depending on the map style. The maps
are divided into either Open-World gameplay, where wool boxes
are scattered around a large area, or Linear-Branching gameplay,
where many branching paths with wool bo |

Yin Comment How do you feel when you finish reading a really
good book? The Epic Reads team has posted a video about “Book
Hangovers” on their YouTube channel. The video embedded above
features Johnna Scrabis, Riley Soloner, and Abby Holland
discussing the effects of “book hangovers.” These bibliphiles
feel that endings can sometimes lead to an unpleasant “void” as
a consequence. Do you agree? Which books have made you suffer

of Prescription Drugs Location: Washington DC June 2, 2004 Ms.
STABENOW. Mr. President, I first thank my colleague and friend
from Minnesota for his eloquent remarks today. I certainly agree
with the sentiments he has expressed. I personally thank him for
his personal commitment and willingness to help fund ways for
people in Minnesota to be able to lower their prescription drug
prices. I think that speaks to his personal dedication and
willingness to do whatever he can to help. Ronald Reagan asked
the question back in 1980, "Are you better off than you were 4
years ago?" When it comes to the issue of prescription drugs and
the cost of medicine today, certainly the answer to that is no.
I rise today to discuss the new Medicare Drug Card Program, as
my colleague and friend from Minnesota has done. Yesterday,
Tuesday, was the first day these cards could be used. But by any
measure, this attempt to lower drug prices has been a complete
failure. |

Arizona (Joe Arapayo's (sp?) county, I think) that sent out a
mailer where the date was correct on the English portion
(November 6), and wrong on the Spanish portion (8 de Noviembre).
Just an honest mistake, I'm sure, because "6" and 8" are really

Christopher Crockett Topics: Sixth Grade, Physics Ever notice
that a conventional roller coaster never goes higher than its
first hill? Roller coasters always have to end lower than where
they started because of a fundamental idea called the
conservation of energy—energy is never created or destroyed, it
only changes forms. Put another way, you’ll never end up with
more energy than you start with. In this project, you’re going
to explore the conservation of energy. Rather than build a
roller coaster, though, you’re going to use a simple pendulum as
a stand-in. And, just to test your intuition, you’re even going
to place the safety of your nose in the hands of physics!
Problem: How high does a pendulum swing after being released?

-1.184583 | 0.562329 | 6 | Featured Stories Crime victims deserve better Among the most
egregious flaws in Oregon's justice system is its inability to
collect the money that criminals are supposed to pay to their
victims in the way of restitution. Judges frequently order that
such restitution be made - but more often than not, crime
victims are left hanging without a dime. This shortcoming
violates just about anyone's sense of justice, and it also is a
direct infringement on the Oregon Constitution. That's why we
support Oregon Attorney General John Kroger's push for
legislation that would begin to improve the restitution system
and actually require criminals to make financial amends for the
harm they cause to others. It's no secret that criminals in
Oregon don't pay their restitution. A recent Pamplin Media Group
investigation into this matter showed that Multnomah County
alone has $77 million in unpaid restitution and that only about
5 percent of the money owed by parolees is ever collected. (The
figure is 25 percent for those o |
