A New Dinosaur Has Been Discovered
via theguardian.com
on 22 January 2016
Amateur fossil-hunters recently uncovered the bones of a brand new dinosaur in Wales. The dog-sized dino, newly named Dracoraptor hanigani (which means "dragon robber"), was a small, carnivorous species that lived during the Jurassicc period. With about 40% of its bones found, the fossil is one of the most complete Jurassic-period fossils in the world and it's currently on display at the National Museum Wales in Cardiff.
Fujifilm GFX 50S Medium Format Digital Camera
via popphoto.com
The most anticipated camera in years, the Fujifilm GFX 50S medium format digital camera is set for release this February. The GFX 50S is mirrorless and uses a huge CMOS sensor—it's one and a half times larger than its 35mm equivalent. Even though its sensor is a big one, the camera itself is roughly the same size and weight as other full-frame system cameras—a bonus for those who carry several cameras with them when traveling. We had a brief hands-on with it recently and were impressed with the weight, speed, image quality and low-light capabilities.
Replicating the American Dollar's Scent
via wsj.com
Partnering with chemist and perfumer Marc vom Ende from fragrance and flavor manufacturer Symrise, artist Mike Bouchet will fill all 45,000 square feet of Chelsea's Marlborough Gallery with the reconstructed scent of American money. The exhibition, known as "Tender," opens today 19 January 2017. Within, guests will find nothing but the olfactory, invisible "structure." The scent's formula took over a year to develop and carries around 100 notes—including those from inks, paper, leathers, human odor and metal cash machines. Bouchet chose currency's scent for its scientifically-proven ability to stimulate an emotional response. You can read more about the process at the WSJ.
Fenghe Luo's Realistic NYC Souvenirs
via designboom.com
Fenghe Luo's prject "WTF NYC" isn't brand new, but it's worth taking a look at. Rather than pretty skylines and Lady Liberty, Luo's take on NYC souvenirs isn't just funny, it's (frighteningly) realistic. From snow-globes with garbage bags inside to a subway sound box to a lapel pin stating "Yes that's piss," the tchotchkes perfectly illustrate our beloved NYC. Anybody who has spent a little time in the city will surely appreciate these items—and wish they were for sale. Read and see more at designboom.
Japan Standardizes Bidet Function Imagery
via theverge.com
Even if you've used a bidet elsewhere—be that a different nation or just a different bathroom—one generally has to interpret the icons that accompany various features. Oftentimes, they're rather obtuse, leading to unexpected results. Thankfully the Japan Sanitary Equipment Industry Association (aka toilet- and bidet-makers) have agreed to standardize all of the pictograms. The association settled upon eight, with each corresponding to a feature, and they'll be applied to all products rolling out this year and in the future.
Mozilla's New Logo
via itsnicethat.com
Using the symbols :// instead of the "ill" in Mozilla, Johnson Banks' new logo for the company is causing a bit of a stir. While the symbols come from a full URL (aka http://) some are seeing the pre-emoji slant-face emoticon, which traditionally was a meant to express being skeptical, annoyed or undecided. Regardless, Johnson Banks' design (called Protocol 2.0) has made an impact, and was chosen from four finalist concepts which were released back in September. Studio founder Michael Johnson says, "It's been fascinating process, involving thousands of views and opinions worldwide—the world's first genuinely open-source rebrand." Read more about their approach and process at It's Nice That.
America's Last Disco Ball-Maker
via factmag.com
Starting with an aluminum sphere (some as large as a whopping 10 feet in diameter), Yolanda Baker makes disco balls by hand, a craft she has perfected over almost 50 years. While the disco ball boom dropped off—thanks to cheaper, overseas options becoming available, Baker (known as Yo Yo) is America's last disco queen. During the zenith of Studio 54, flares and doing The Hustle, Baker made 160,000 disco balls each year and has since handcrafted pieces for Madonna and Beyonce. See the video at FACT.
NASA Selects Housing Designs for Mars
via coolmaterial.com
To encourage design thinking for the next stage of space exploration (and potential settlement), NASA hosted the 3D-Printed Habitat Challenge—tasking designers with imagining plans for homes on Mars. Every entry carried a distinct futurism and descriptions of the functionality within but winner Mars Ice House proposed something extraordinary—a 3D-printed dual layer ice dome. From Team Space Exploration Architecture and Clouds Architecture Office in New York, the Mars Ice House protects against compromising radiation but allows natural light in so residents could sync to the daytime cycle of the planet. Check out more entries in the slideshow at Cool Material.
Confirming the Medical Benefits of Marijuana
via arstechnica.com
The National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine has released a whopping 400-page study on the clinical benefits of marijuana wherein they support almost 100 conclusions. The report features information from 10,000 scientific studies and notes many positive effects, including cannabinoids' impact on treating chronic pain. It also states that smoking marijuana is not linked to cancers that arise from smoking tobacco products (though respiratory ailments may arise). The study also denies many other negative claims (like the idea of weed being a gateway drugs) but does make clear that mental issues including anxiety and depression can be side-effects.

Design Impact on 2017's Forthcoming Products
via fastcodesign.com
While much of the headline-grabbing announcements at CES focused on software, Fast Co's team dedicated time to discover the best of hardware design. From major names like Sony (who revealed speakers, screens, projectors and more) to smaller organizations like Argodesign and car manufacturer Denso, industrial design—and the minds behind it—left a resounding impact. 3D scanning devices also stunned with their advancement. For a comprehensive overview head to Fast Co.
Insight on Snapchat's New Features
via techcrunch.com
As alluring as Snapchat can be, and liberating when it comes to sharing with spontaneity as opposed to belabored editing, it's been far from intuitive—especially regarding search. Today, the social media service unveiled their universal search feature making it far easier to find groups, publishers and friends. With its "Quick Chat" functionality, users can find exactly what they're looking for quickly. That said, influencers and brands may pay the price as there's less opportunity to toggle through and land on something else. Read more about other features over at Tech Crunch.
Amazon's $5-a-month Anime Streaming Service
via theverge.com
For $5 a month, Amazon Prime members can bundle a new service to their streaming package: Anime Strike. Offering 1,000+ titles, the feature offers an array of classics as well as current anime shows. Amazon is offering a seven day free trial for those interested. Anime Strike is part of Amazon Channels—tailored, standalone streaming packages that launched back in December. More of these selective content channels will launch in time, but for now this appears to be an ideal spot for anyone looking to get anime-specific. It's the only streaming competitor to Crunchyroll, a 750K members-deep service that's kept anime fans engaged for over a decade.
Mario Video Game Inventor Shigeru Miyamoto on Design
via vox.com
In a superb new Vox video, visionary Shigeru Miyamoto addresses what has made his games—Donkey Kong, Super Mario Bros, Zelda and more—so powerful. Filled with insight and wit, the video explains Miyamoto's emphasis on storytelling before programming and consumer's want to feel a sense of completion. Miyamoto himself addresses his background in industrial design and how a game must teach a player how to play. The designer not only saved Nintendo from near collapse, he spearheaded now iconic games and his words of wisdom are invaluable. Super Mario Run, released in December 2016 for iPhone, was Miyamoto's most recent work and the company's first mobile game.

FUDU wrote:It might be more than voting patterns, but not a whole lot more, when you get down to the nitty gritty of what is behind the "voting patterns". Most times everything comes down to a very inherent nature or level of accountability in an individual when looking at voting patterns. Most things in political debate breakdown to an almost sub atomic level of personal responsibility and how it is viewed, accepted, excused or held accountable.
I'm not gonna sit here and say our system is so objective and flawless that nothing can stop the will of the people, b/c a significant level of corruptness most certainly can IMO.
How's this; Detroit's problems are far bigger than Detroit. In many ways, they have nothing to do with Detroit. They are but the biggest example. They aren't even the canary in the coalmine as is made out.
I am not saying anything counter to personal responsibility. I am advocating it if you read my posts. But it is a two way street. Not just incumbent upon the working class to follow. Where is the "personal accountability" of the McDonald's CEO making $ 8.4 million/ year putting out a chart showing the working poor how to balance a budget with a 2nd job so they can work 60 hours / week at two jobs to barely get by? What does that do to the family structure the right cherishes? Who is there to make sure the kids do their homework or are in safe environments?
You can't stack the deck so one sided to set up millions for failure and then yell "SEE! They aren't following our rules!" while living like pigs at a trough.
It's insane.
Why wouldn't those folks vote Democratic? Hell, why would they even vote at all instead of sell drugs? The whole concept of market rationale is that people will act in their self-interest. I believe in most market-based principles.
Detroit is the chickens coming home to roost of the great American capital class/working class social contract that created the greatest economy and standard of living in the world began to be violated in the early 80's. Now it's but a topic of derision, not even lamented.

JCoz wrote:Well I think the big difference between what I think and you do furls is the opinion of the secondary. I need to see it to believe that Roby, Johnson, and Barnett are going to be as good as you are writing about here. If they are that certainly changes the dynamics of the defense. I agree that we should have improvement on the Dline. Williams has been a dissapointment so far however, and we have little behind him. I don't think people are going to run on this defense but I'm not seeing a whole lot of sacks from the Dline rushing 4. That would be where the secondary comes in. That and bringing sweat and/or Moeller off the edge.Still need to see something from Sabino before I believe it as well. Klein was ahead of him last I saw, and Furls I have a hard time seeing starting LBers sans Klien in 2012. It would be nice to see Shazier be a breakout player at SAM, we haven't had a good SAM since Carpenter. Sweat was awful there last season in limited action. He is a liabilty at SAM and an all big ten caliber Will. Moeller I thought was the best player on the defense last season when he was playing, and that was with one arm. Looking forward to seeing him, really hoping for a relatively heathy season for him.

The secondary will be as good as we have seen since the Bucks featured Winfield, Plummer and Clements. The corners/safeties will allow this defense to attack in a way that we havent seen since 2005.

He has not been a serious contender for PT yet since coming to the program 3 years ago. He has always trailed Sabino on the depth chart and I see no reason to believe that will change. To me it is pretty obvious that neither are guys that "have to see the field." I am not buying the Sabino now either. I think if Sabino loses his job it will be to Grant or Shazier. I could definitely see Grant, who is the most physically ready to play, screaming up the depth chart as he gets his feet under him during practice this year.Sweat has been impressive since coming to the program and was pushing for PT as a true sophomore with plenty of camp buzz. He was in the two deep as a soph and was doing well before being lost for the second half of the year to injury. I think Sweat was on track to seize that job going into last year until he was injured. Coming off the injury with limited reps in spring camp and limited run in fall camp allowed the job to fall to the incumbent.

As a matter of fact, I will have a hard time remembering the starting LBs in 2 or 3 years. I am not concerned about the team being able to pressure the QB, they will on every down, my concern is in their ability to make the plays in the backfield without blitzing instead of having the QB chuck it out of bounds. Loss of down is nice, loss of down with a seven yard loss is a drive killer.

Albeit early and the real proof still to be shown but it's actually fascinating sometimes to see which players ultimately make waves and those that don't. Casey Matthews being another in Philly.Homan always struck me as a solid player but came up short to some of the past AA stature. Rolle was basically always undersized and made up for his defiencies with heart and determination, only problem is his weaknesses were so easily exploited by Wisconsin (power) or SEC types (speed) and I say that with those teams being on the college football upper echelon for each.My points are somewhat digressions from your discussion but enjoyin the points made.

Is my credit card information secure with you?
We're convinced, in fact, that your account data is probably safer in a secure online shopping environment like ours than it is with any local, hometown merchant. No one, as far as we know, has ever intercepted an encrypted credit transaction or penetrated a secure server and deciphered an account number.
How can I contact you?
You can find all our contact details here.
Is roll size important?
In short, yes it does. You should always use a roll size that is the maximum diameter that will work for your printer. Using smaller rolls will mean they will run out more quickly and larger rolls will not fit.
Is core size important?
Core size can be very important in some printers where the core is used by a mechanism to feed the paper. Getting the core size wrong will mean it wont work. In other printers, the core rests in a cradle and the core size is less important, though bigger cores will mean less paper on the roll.
Can I use other roll types in a thermal printer?
No. Only thermal rolls will work in thermal printers.
Is paper quality really that important?
Yes. Poor quality paper could mean you invalidate your warranty and cause a drastic drop in image quality. Low quality papers can also cause problems with dust and this can jam the printer or reduce the life of components inside.
How can I stop the paper curling?
By using high quality paper you can reduce this effect. It mostly occurs when you are reaching the end of the roll and even with a high quality paper there will always be a small amount of curling.

Experts offer 8 at-home tips to get a better night's sleep
Does the very notion of �a long winter�s nap� sound out of the question? If you have asthma, you likely have experienced plenty of nights with poor sleep. Indeed, many asthma sufferers find that their symptoms get worse at night.
Medical experts say don�t despair.
�The best way to get a good night�s sleep if you have asthma is to make sure your asthma is well-controlled,� says Dr. Andy Nish of the Allergy and Asthma Care Center in Gainesville, Ga.
That includes taking doctor-prescribed or recommended medication and avoiding triggers that might worsen your asthma.
Some other strategies include:
Reconsider that crackling fire this winter. If you heat your home by burning wood in your fireplace, the particles and smoke can aggravate your asthma.
Reposition yourself. When you lie down, secretions may drain from your sinuses and accumulate in your airways. You also may experience increased airway resistance. Consider propping yourself up slightly.
Make your bedroom a pet-free zone. People with pet allergies are better off not having animals sleep in their bedrooms, Nish says. So if you depend on your dog to keep your feet warm at night, it�s time to get thicker socks.
Confer with your doctor about medications that can help. Some people benefit from inhaling a long-acting corticosteroid to ward off nighttime attacks.
Use a humidifier in your bedroom. Dry air can trigger asthma, says Dr. Michael Decker, a board-certified sleep medicine expert and associate professor at Georgia State University.
Remove dust from the nooks and crannies of your home. �Duct cleaning helps tremendously,� Decker says.
Relieve stress. Stress hormones can cause the muscles around your airways to tighten.
Avoid viruses. Wash your hands frequently.

Skip to comments.Happy Clinton Impeachment Day 2012! Impeachment is Forever!
Posted on 12/19/2012 5:33:26 AM PST by kristinn
It's been 14 years since President Bill Clinton was impeached. Free Republic played a key role.
On October 31, 1998, Free Republic held the first online-organized national protest to call for Clinton's impeachment and removal from office. The rally was broadcast live on C-SPAN for over four hours. Speakers included a who's who of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy.
The rally can be viewed in its entirety online at C-SPAN
As the Senate trial drew to a close in Feburary 1999, FReepers came together online to design and fund a full page ad in the Washington Times urging the Senate to do its Constitutional duty by convicting and removing Clinton for committing perjury and obstruction of justice in office.
Thanks to Varmint Al for hosting the ad online..
More at the 2010 annual Impeachment Day post.
Old news and who cares....
Flame away...
Old news and who cares....
Flame away...
It's one of those moments for which you remember where you were when the impeachment was announced. For me, seeing the news on multiple TV screens at the local Costco. A small cheer went up from the shoppers who were watching.
Eagles up!
No, it's not old news. Every person in America needs to be reminded how Clinton embarrassed our nation.
Clinton defiled one of our most sacred institutions, the oval office.
How this man EVER received a security clearance is absolutely beyond me! Slick Willey was/is a national security threat.
During the height of the cold war, our enemies would have used this in an effort to blackmail the world's most powerful person for their gain.
Thank you for reminding me this morning of just how corrupt our government has become!
Thanks for the reminder, kristinn.
An Internet based rally was a very new thing back then. I had been lurking here about three months, and when the call was issued I was determined to be there on October 31, 1998 for the March for Justice.I would join FR on December 30, 1998.
It was awesome—4,000 people showed up from all over the country. And we all paid our own way, no union paid for bussing!
Seven weeks later, Clinton was impeached.
Then the Senate failed America on February 12, 1999 by letting a law-breaking President stay in office instead of doing their duty. The ironic thing is, that had Gore become the President at that time, he probably would have become President in 2000. The Dems choose Clinton and they got him.
Clinton would go on in 1999 and 2000 to do amazing things—like bomb schools, hospitals and trains with regular people on them in Bosnia, and sending a terrified eight year old back to Castro, after his mother drowned to get the boy to American soil.
Kristinn, I remember well the Saturday mornings at the White House, the "Crime Wave" poster,the tourists taking their pictures with us. It was an honor to stand with you and others at that time.
I also remember the terrific job you did on TV representing Free Republic. And I will never forgive that SOB Bill O'Reilly for the BS ambush number he did on you and FR in 2007.
Since the 2009 and 2010 rallies in DC there has been no action by conservatives-—how I wish for an opportunity to communicate our intense dissatisfaction with the DC ruling class in both parties and what they are doing to our country.
Thanks for trip down memory lane. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
That's just what Chcuk Schumer said.
That's just what Chuck Schumer said.
A ping to you for this thread and for post #6. Merry Christmas!
Bravo Zulu.
If the Left did not control the MSN, the anniversaries of such an infamous event and infamous president would be popularly recognized like 12/7,4/20 and 9/11...only obtuse narrow sighted historically benighted dumasses would blow the historical importance of this anniversery off.
Clinton "telephoned Lewinsky at 2 a.m. with two pieces of news: that Currie's brother had died in a car accident, and that Lewinsky had been named as a potential witness in the Paula Jones sexual harassment lawsuit."
Washington Post
For those of you that never followed the case of clinton private eye/goon Pellicano (he is the one who came out with phony tests saying Jennifer Flowers tapes had been altered): When arrested, they found C-4 and other explosives in his safe.
At his trial, a witness testified about how he bragged about how he could make murder look like an accident or suicide.
Another witness: "A hedge fund manager testified Tuesday that indicted private eye Anthony Pellicano suggested that a film producer and one-time Nevada gubernatorial candidate could be murdered over an investment dispute.
Adam Sender told jurors the idea came while he and Pellicano met and talked about Sender's lawsuit against Aaron Russo.
Sender said he was told by Pellicano, "If I wanted to I could authorize him to have (Russo) murdered on the way back from Las Vegas, have someone follow him back, drive him off the road and bury his body somewhere in the desert."
He was sentenced to 15 years.
Sadly too many freepers have bought into the "it was just about sex" mantra.
The clinton crime machine made Obama look like an amateur. Seeing the homosexual pro-hillary website Hillbuzz getting linked on FR makes this long time freeper sick.
Ah, if only it could be done this year or perhaps 2013 for the Kenyan Kommie.
The rally was awesome. I was in the back holding the 10 foot high, 30 foot wide, "CHINA TREASON" sign. Got to meet Lucianne and Drudge there.
Just wanted to wish you and the family a very Merry Christmas.
I think with the unchecked huberus of The Won,we may get an impeachment AND a conviction in Senate this time, and it won't be about sex, either.
Yippee! That was a great time.
Proud near-charter member of FR! I sure wish I recall what my original screen name was, though...
FR was very 'together' in those days, and for the five or so years following. Sometime after Iraq, we started splintering for some reason or other, but that is a different discussion.
For now, I'll just celebrate Impeachment Day! Too bad that we're not having Impeachment hearings for Obama today. He and several members of his administration sure deserve it.
In retrospect, it is a tragedy that Ken Starr threw the game in a very cynical manner, wasting tens of millions of dollars and precious time ignoring serious felony charges, to concentrate on one that was just petty, salacious, embarrassing to the country, and demeaning to the office.
It is no surprise that Clinton was acquitted by the senate, as the vast majority of senators are guilty of far worse, and they had no stomach to call "the kettle", "the first black president".
So, Bill Clinton goes down in history as the second impeached president, as well as denying Al Gore the presidency by default. A small saving grace, I suppose, denying America of "the first robotic president".
And immediately following the impeachment decision, the demodummies had a lawn party in celebration. What the hell has happened to this country? Our forefathers must be spinning in their graves.
Amen! I hardly recognize FR these days and rarely post anymore because of the acrimony.
Do you remember the USA v Clinton daily countdown thread?
I remember you were right in the thick of it. Thanks for all your hard work. He may not have been removed, but impeachment is forever.
Good on the House, however.
BOR has been pwned by the leftist freaks since at least his weird harassment suit in 2004.
Around the same time Chief Justice Roberts was pwned by the leftists over his shady South American adoption records....
I fondly remember seeing a bumper sticker: "We elected a president, not a sexual predator." How fitting that this piece of trash can be remembered.
I am a strong believer in impeachment, which congress has mostly done for corrupt federal judges (14 of them), but should be far more willing to do.
The Constitution grants the House the power to impeach "The President, the Vice President, and all civil Officers of the United States." But only once has congress impeached a cabinet officer (William W. Belknap (Secretary of War)).
If there was a Republican senate right now, the House could immediately begin impeachment proceedings against Holder, Sibelius, Napolitano, etc. But there are lots of questions that need to be addressed, like "Can congress impeach a 'Czar' unapproved by the US senate?"
Yes, I sure do. Some part of the change is due to our inability to post full articles nowadays. Having to go to another website ends up distracting from making comments here.
My Congressman Florida District 1 Voted to Impeach him, Joe Scarbough
I remember you were right in the thick of it. Thanks for all your hard work. He may not have been removed, but impeachment is forever.
YUP! The unanimous vote to call NO WITNESSES at the very start of the proceedings told me that the fix was in.
Thank you for posting Kristinn! Fond memories of those days.
Thanks for this reminder... I'm proud to have made the 6 hour drive down I-95 (seeing numerous cars with Freepers enroute) to be a part of that first march, joining fellow Freepers down on the Mall. I felt that each of us in that crowd of 4,000 was representing hundreds of thousands of others who hadn't yet figured out what tyrants the Clintons were.
Hopefully, sanity will one day be restored to our Republic.
Kristinn, it's difficult to remember all of the legal details, but as I recall, the Judge (who had some kind of relationship with Clinton prior) in the Paula Jones case in Little Rock refused to make her ruling until after the impeachment proceedings... Afterwards, she would rule that (or something like) Clinton suborned perjury in that case and granted Paula Jones some large (for Arkansas) monetary award. Clinton was later stripped of his law license in the state of Arkansas. I'm sure some Freeper can clean-up my spotty recollections but that's the way Clinton made it through the Impeachment process — delay, obfuscate, and have friendly allies in the judiciary and, of course, the media.
Makes me wonder if the whole Petraeus "scandal" weren't exactly the same scenario, with him set up (not that he had to take the bait) so he could be blackmailed.
December 19th - the one day where both parties put aside politics and did the Constitutionally right thing.
We shall not see such justice be done with Odinga in our lifetimes.
And look what his better half has done. Systematic Failures at her State Department that got 4 Americans killed including a US Ambassador. She was not qualified to be Secretary of State. Bill was not qualified to be President. The results speak for themselves.
Socks C. is with Buddy and is patiently awaiting a grand reunion.
Bent Willy looks pissed...AlBore is giddy thinking he will be President.
Great Photo!
It looks like Algore is smiling.
The history of the Clintons in song =
I supported Al Gore for President!
On all four counts!
I loved that photo the moment I saw it on Impeachment Day. You can just see all the little gears spinning in their heads. Slick looks just like some fifth-grade bully steaming over some slight, plotting his revenge. Hillary's skipping along cheerily telling him the Republicans don't have a legal leg to stand on, being hopeful all the while that she herself could somehow end up as president as a result of the impeachment. Gore's giddy with anticipation. You can even see (or am I imagining these things?) Gephart running through his political calculations. It is a GREAT photo and doesn't cast that crew in a very good light, imo. That's why I knew it'd quickly be scrubbed from the internet (and it was within weeks) and that I'd better snag it!
Glad you saved it. I know I have never seen it before so it must have been scrubbed in record time.
Great call.
I remember the CNN anchors crying
I attended that event with my husband and our "then" three young sons. So glad that we went!!
We can have great fun with that pic. It deserves to be a post of it's own. Caption this picture of Slick Willy going down!
December 19,1998, the 105th Congress approved two articles of impeachment against President Bill Clinton.
Photoshop folks can dub the apparent thoughts. LOL!

Finding a Racquet that Fits Your Game
Aggressive Baseliners
Hitting punishing ground strokes from the baseline rather than
finishing points at the net.
What to Use
Racquets with mid-sized head frames and weight either evenly
distributed or slightly head-heavy are appropriate for this kind of player.
Aggressive baseliners either have long, loopy strokes or short, efficient ones
which allow them to hit the ball early and on the rise.
Types and Preferences
Return to Top
To win matches with fast feet, shot selection, and defense.
Racquets with mid-sized or over-sized heads that are evenly
balanced or slightly head-heavy.
Serve and Volleyers
To get to the net as quickly, and as often, as possible, and force
opponents to continually pass them under pressure. Hitting heavy
spin serves allows more time to get into the net.
Racquets that move easily through the air for those
lightning-quick volleys. Thin-framed, maneuverable, mid-sized racquets that
are evenly
balanced or slightly head-light.
All-Court Players
To win points from the baseline or at the net. Strong
baseline shots put opponents in trouble and allow attack on the first short
ball. Capitolize on finishing at the net.

Another where they strap you to a big barrel with spikes sticking out of it then roll the barrel down a hill.
Not to mention the Iron Maiden.
If those medieval dickweeds spent half the time on technology as they did developing torture devices, we'd have had flying cars in 1800.

Our quick guide to tonight's Hershey Bears – Norfolk Admirals AHL Showcase game at Verizon Center
Our guide to tonight's AHL Showcase between the Hershey Bears and the Norfolk Admirals at Verizon Center in Washington, DC is simple. It's in the tweet below and we hope you'll spread the word. There are downtown businesses and arena workers affected by the NHL lockout that could use the dollars. Enjoy the hockey! And please pour a little money into the local economy too if you can.
One more thing: As tweeter @Sdunn2984 pointed out today, there is a toy drive for the Salvation Army at tonight's game. "The Capitals will be accepting donations at the F Street Entrance to Verizon Center starting when doors open at 6 p.m.," according to the team's website. "The first 1,500 fans to donate will receive a commemorative Adam Oates Hall of Fame poster. The Capitals, GEICO, Comcast SportsNet and The Salvation Army urge all Caps fans to donate at least one new, unwrapped toy for a deserving child this holiday season."

- Cervical Vertebral Instability (Wobbler's Syndrome)
- Cranial Cruciate Ligament Injury
- Elbow Dysplasia
- Entropion
- Gastric Dilation and Volvulus
- Hip Dysplasia
- Hypothyroidism
- Retinal Dysplasia
Bullmastiff Traits
- Jogging Partner
- Lap Dog
- Good with Children
- Warm Weather
- Cold Weather
- Grooming Requirements
- Shedding
- Barking
- Ease of Training
Bullmastiff History
- Occasional references to crosses between mastiff-type dogs and bull-baiting dogs can be found as early as the late 1700s, but no evidence exists that these crosses were perpetuated.
- The documented history of the bullmastiff traces to the late 1800s. Gamekeepers for large estates in England needed a courageous dog to catch and subdue poachers on their land. The dog was to creep up silently and subdue, but not maul, the trespasser. The cross between a mastiff and bulldog provided a dog that combined the speed and strength to do the job.
- The breed was so adept at its work that it was dubbed the "gamekeeper's night dog."
- Dark brindle was preferred because it blended into the darkness at night.
- Lighter fawns later became popular with estate owners who wanted a flashy looking guardian reminiscent of a mastiff.
- Breeders eventually aimed for a pure breeding strain that had the appearance of being 60 percent mastiff and 40 percent bulldog.
- The Kennel Club in England recognized the breed in 1924; the AKC recognized it in 1933.
Bullmastiff Behavior Concerns
- Makes a loyal and protective companion.
- Gentle and generally good with children, but may be overly protective of them when around strangers. As with all large dogs, dogs and children should always be supervised.
- Devoted.
- Not easily roused, but fearless when the situation calls for it.
- Tends to be suspicious of strangers. Early socialization is essential.
- Not very friendly toward strange dogs.
- Good with other pets.
- Tends to be stubborn. Rebels against forceful methods.
- Does best with a firm owner who can combine reward-based training with good control and leadership.
Bullmastiff Suggested Exercises
- Makes a calm and well-mannered housedog.
- Requires daily exercise in the form of a moderate walk or short jog.
- The bullmastiff prefers cold weather to warm.
- Obedience training is essential not only for control, but for the mental exercise it provides.
Bullmastiff Grooming
- Coat is short, straight, and coarse.
- The coat needs only occasional brushing, once every week or so, to remove dead hair.
- Deep facial wrinkles may need cleaning and drying.
- Shedding is average.
- Be prepared for drool.
Suggested Bullmastiff Nutritional Needs
- Bullmastiffs tend to stay in good weight or be slightly overweight.
- Adult dogs should be fed a balanced diet, with restricted calories if the dog starts to gain too much weight.
- Puppies should be fed a large-breed growth food, which slows their growing rate but not final size. This may decrease the incidence or severity of hip dysplasia in adults.
Did you know?
- Grapes and raisins are harmful to dogs.
- Some dog parasites are transferable to humans.
- Many common pet ailments may be detected early and prevented by visiting your veterinarian twice yearly - saving both time, money, and most importantly, ensuring the best quality of life for your dog.

Look Out For Higher Credit Card Charges
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- U.S. retailers are bracing themselves for a less-than-stellar year, with consumer spending expected to check in at a rate lower than in 2011.
But merchants, online and offline, could be getting a nice shot in the arm from an arcane rule that gives them a bigger slice of the pie from credit card sales.
The National Retail Federation says retail industry sales will rise by 3.4% this year, less than the 4.2% expected at this time last year. The NRF points to a mediocre holiday shopping season as a big reason growth is down.
Despite widespread agreement among U.S. economists that the economy is improving, consumers haven't gone "all in" on their own household financial forecasts -- they are holding back just enough to vex those economists and U.S. retailers.
"What we witnessed during the holiday season is an indication of what we are likely to see in 2013," NRF President Matthew Shay says. "Consumers read troubling economic headlines every day and look at their bottom lines at the end of the month, and they don't like what they see. Pushing fiscal policy decisions down the road will lead to even greater uncertainty, and will continue to impact consumers' desire and ability to spend on discretionary items. The administration and congress need to pursue and enact policies that lead to growth and economic expansion, or it could be another challenging year for retailers and consumers alike."
But retailers can still benefit from higher point-of-sale credit card fees -- surcharges put in place after a legal settlement between credit card carriers and U.S. retailers.
So-called credit card "checkout fees" could climb as high as 4% of total consumer transactions after a deal between the nation's merchants and big card companies such as MasterCard (MA) and Visa (V) . In a $7.3 billion settlement, retailers earned the right to charge those checkout fees to compensate for higher card swipe fees from credit card issuers.
Previously, credit card firms didn't allow merchants to charge "checkout fees" to credit card consumers. The deal does not affect debit card or cash payments for purchases.
For now, big retailers and service providers say they won't add credit card surcharges to purchases, including big-name U.S. brands such as McDonald's (MCD) , Target (TGT) and Wal-Mart (WMT) .
In addition, 10 U.S. states -- California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, New York, Oklahoma and Texas -- don't allow retailers to impose credit card surcharges on consumer purchases. The NRF says the deal between merchants and credit card carriers mandates that all stores in a chain must charge extra for credit card purchases, so retailers may not be able to put surcharges in place because if they're banned in the 10 states that bar them.

"Putting to rest the most contentious civil forfeiture fight in the nation, the U.S. Attorney�s office in Boston today announced it will not appeal a federal court�s decision that dismissed the civil forfeiture action filed against the Motel Caswell, a family-run motel in Tewksbury, Mass.��In January, Magistrate Judge Judith G. Dein of the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts concluded that the motel was not subject to forfeiture under federal law and that its owners were wholly innocent of any wrongdoing. Download the federal court ruling.
�The Caswell family has been put through the wringer by the federal government for over three years, and we are thrilled that this law-abiding family is now finally safe from civil forfeiture,� said Scott Bullock, senior attorney at the Institute for Justice.� �The Caswells stood to lose everything for which they had worked so hard.� This case epitomizes everything that is wrong with civil forfeiture laws and why they are in such desperate need of reform.� We will build off of this victory in future cases to once and for all end civil forfeiture and the inevitable abuses that surround it.�
"The government had sought to take the Motel Caswell from the Caswell family under the theory that the motel allegedly facilitated drug crimes.� But, in her opinion, Judge Dein found that Mr. Caswell �did not know the guests involved in the drug crimes, did not know of their anticipated criminal behavior at the time they registered as guests, and did not know of the drug crimes while they were occurring.�
"In her opinion, the court also lambasted the federal government�s case as �not supported by a scintilla of evidence� and accused the government of engaging in �gross exaggeration.�"
I would have liked to see an appeal that could establish that civil forfeiture laws in general violate constitutional due process guarantees, but maybe this will empower others to go further.

Washington Nationals Autographed Memorabilia and Collectibles
The Washington Nationals are one of the youngest and most promising teams in all of Major League Baseball. The franchise, which returned to Washington in 2005 after almost 40 years as the Montreal Expos, has accumulated young stars and has quickly become a team most opponents fear can develop into a perennial playoff contender. With top overall picks that were used to select Stephen Strasburg and Bryce Harper during the MLB Draft, the Nationals now have two of the most premier young players in the league on their roster.
Although their early years in Washington were dismal, the Nationals' luck turned around for the better in 2009 when the team was awarded the top overall pick in the draft. Patiently waiting for his name to be called was a once-in-a-generation pitcher out of San Diego State, his name was Stephen Strasburg. After joining the Nationals, the ace made his highly-anticipated major league debut in 2010 when he set a franchise record for most strikeouts in an MLB debut with 14. After solidifying the hype that surrounded him before he appeared in the majors, Strasburg continued to wow Washington as he dominated opponents en route to a trip to the 2012 All-Star Game.
The Nationals' luck continued in 2010 when they were the owners of the top pick in the draft once again. With this pick the team chose a 17-year-old player that was dubbed a phenomenon who would one day turn the franchise around. Bryce Harper was the name the Nationals called with the first overall pick in 2010 and he soon proved to everyone he was the real deal. The outfielder won the 2012 Rookie of the Year Award after posting a dominant season that saw him hit 22 home runs. The rookie also made the All-Star game that year, becoming the youngest position player to ever do so.
With a core of young players, the Nationals won the National League East Division in 2012 and gave their fans a taste of what's to come. Harper and Strasburg are exceptional talents that have silenced all their critics since dominating the playing field. With other great players like Jordan Zimmermann and Jayson Werth, the Nationals are primed to dominate the NL East for many years to come. Fans and sports collectors should take advantage of the opportunity to capitalize on the success this team will have in the future with our expansive selection of Washington Nationals memorabilia.
- Bryce Harper Signed Baseballs:Bryce Harper was the young baseball wonder that the Washington Nationals drafted with the top overall pick in the 2010 MLB Draft to complete a star-studded roster. Unlike most kids dubbed phenoms, Harper has lived up to the billing and emerged as one of the best young players in baseball. In 2012, Bryce Harper won the National League Rookie of the Year and was named to the All-Star game after hitting 22 home runs and scoring 98 runs. Harper became the youngest position player ever to be selected to the All-Star game in 2012, which solidified the belief that he would pan out to be the savior of the Washington Nationals' franchise. Since Harper is still in the early stages of his career, investing in a signed Bryce Harper baseball is a smart move that will surely pay off in the future. Take home the perfect centerpiece to any sports room or memorabilia collection with a Bryce Harper autographed baseball.
- Stephen Strasburg Signed Jerseys: The first overall pick of the 2009 MLB Draft also belonged to the Nationals and they drafted Stephen Strasburg, a once-in-a-generation pitcher that would join Washington's roster. Strasburg was one of the most hyped players baseball had seen in a very long time even before he pitched a single professional inning. Upon his much anticipated major league debut in 2010, Strasburg lived up to the hype as he pitched seven innings and struck out 14 batters in a win. The 14 K's set a Nationals record for most strikeouts in a major league debut which instantly made him a fan favorite across the country. In the months after his coming out party, Strasburg's Washington Nationals jersey was one of the highest selling jerseys in the MLB. Nats fans can show their team pride with a signed Stephen Strasburg jersey. A Stephen Strasburg autographed jersey will do wonders for any MLB memorabilia collection in need of a unique item signed by a future superstar.
- Jordan Zimmermann Autographed Photos: Another young ace in the Washington Nationals' rotation, Jordan Zimmermann is a two-time All-Star that possesses the rare ability to take over a game at any given moment. Since his 2009 debut in the majors, Zimmermann has been one of the most consistent players on the Nationals' roster and has made consecutive All-Star appearances from 2013 to 2014. In 2013, Zimmermann completed the best season of his career to date. He went 19-9 while posting a 3.25 ERA over 32 starts and these numbers helped him emerge as a quality threat next to teammate Stephen Strasburg. Baseball fans can preserve his success and their favorite MLB moments with a Jordan Zimmermann signed photo that captures the All-Star in the middle of his delivery during a Washington Nationals game.
- Jayson Werth Memorabilia: Jayson Werth signed with the Washington Nationals in 2010 after he posted one of his best seasons as a pro and topped it off by winning the World Series as a member of the Philadelphia Phillies. As a premier outfielder in the league, Werth was brought to the Nationals to help develop Bryce Harper's game to build a championship caliber team, and he's done just that. While mentoring Harper, Jayson Werth has fought off some slumps to help the Nationals become a team no opponent wants to face. In 2013, Werth batted .318 with 25 home runs and 82 RBIs while recording his 1,000th career hit in the process. Honor his personal feats and contributions to the Nationals by taking home a piece of Jayson Werth memorabilia. With a Jayson Werth sign baseball or a unique Jayson Werth collage, fans and collectors can add a unique item to their memorabilia collection while showing their support for the Nationals.

Pet loss is never a pleasant experience, but it doesn't always mean that a pet has passed away. Sometimes, an owner is forced to give up a pet because he or she can no longer provide the care that the animal needs. If this sounds like a familiar circumstance, you must think carefully about how you will find a new home where your animal companion can thrive.
Reasons for giving up a pet
When you adopt an animal, you should plan on keeping that pet for his entire lifespan. Unfortunately, unforeseen circumstances may interfere with your ability to be a full-time pet owner. For example, you may meet a new partner who is severely allergic to cats, or perhaps you've received a promotion at your job that will require you to move overseas or to a location where pets are not allowed. If you truly cannot think of a way around your circumstance, then it may be best to find a new home for your animal companion.
Think twice about your decision
Owning a pet isn't always easy, but part of being a successful companion to an animal is working through any challenges that may arise. It's unacceptable to get rid of a pet simply because he has become a mild inconvenience, so it's important to keep your head up during the difficult times, such as puppy training or when your cat has diarrhea. If your pet has a medical issue that is costly, then you may want to look into pet insurance to help cover his bills instead of deciding to get rid of the animal outright.
Finding a new home
If you have decided that there's simply no way you can keep your animal companion, then it's your responsibility to find him a new and loving home. There are several ways to go about this. First, you may want to reach out to family and friends who would make good pet owners, especially if they already have a relationship with your animal. If this isn't an option, then you can get in touch with a local animal shelter to inquire about foster family services, or simply ask them to list your pet as available for adoption. Some owners may choose to list their animal on websites like PetFinder.com, but if you take this route, make sure you interview prospective adopters to make sure they know how to properly care for an animal.

Happy holidays!
I have had the dubious honor of being on what our residency calls the "swing shift" during most of December and early January. That's 4 pm to midnight, Monday through Friday, and one of those nights I stay until 7 am to relieve a member of the night float team.
In other words, I worked Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, and I will be working New Year's Eve and New Year's Day.
In some ways it's been rough. It was hard during the kids' last week of school. I didn't see them much. I was up until 3 am making treats for their teachers after getting off at midnight, but then I did have the freedom to drop off the treats at their schools before going into work. I also got to spend Christmas morning with them.
It's fun, in a weird way, being in the hospital on Christmas. Everyone is in a good mood. People bring in treats, including me. The whole hospital is decorated. Usually, there are less BS admissions because people tend to want to be home with their family.
Anyway, hope you all get to spend time with your loved ones. I need to do another admission!

IT Salaries Show Slow Growth
IT is consistently cited as one of the most-promising U.S. careers, even with the rise of offshore outsourcing. As with most professions, however, compensation is rising only modestly. The IT field still pays well, with staffers earning $90,000 in median total compensation and managers earning $120,000, the 2013 InformationWeek U.S. IT Salary Survey finds. But compensation for staffers is flat compared with last year and up only 3% for managers.
Compensation varies substantially by skill and industry. Staffers focused on enterprise application integration earn a median $110,000, those in general IT earn $73,000 and those on the help desk earn $55,000. A few staff specialties such as cloud computing ($130,000), Web security ($118,000) and mobile ($111,000) pay even higher, though our survey sample sizes are small for those areas. Staffers with the IT architect title make a median $130,000.
IT managers earn six-figure median compensation in 22 of 23 job categories - help desk managers are the exception, earning $83,000. Among IT staffers, 13 of the 23 functions pay more than $90,000, eight of them more than $100,000. (R6460413-M)
Survey Name InformationWeek 2013 U.S. IT Salary Survey
Survey Date January 2013
Region United States
Number of Respondents 14,074
Purpose To track IT salary and compensation trends from the perspective of those on the front lines, InformationWeek conducts an annual U.S. IT Salary Survey. Now in its 16th year, it's the largest employee-based IT salary survey in the country. Last year, 13,880 full-time IT professionals completed the Web-based survey. This year, 14,074 took part. The goal of this trendable study is to measure various aspects of compensation, benefits and job satisfaction. This report focuses on the 7,810 IT staff and 6,264 IT managers who participated in the survey.

Most dogs love to go on walks, and they don't ever complain about going around "barefoot." But walking outside can pose certain threats to a dog's paws, so it's important that pet owners are constantly checking on their canine companion's feet to make sure everything is safe and sound. Here are some paw care tips for dog lovers:
Nail care
Dogs have nails that must be cared for. Many pet owners cut their dog's nails themselves, while others allow a professional to do it during dog grooming appointments. Either way, it's important that you know how and when your dog's nails need to be clipped, because nails that are too long could split, which is likely to cause pain in dogs.
Urban dog owners may not have to worry about cutting their dog's nails, as taking strolls on sidewalks and pavement can often keep them at an appropriate length. The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals reports that a dog's nails should be trimmed once they touch the ground while the dog is standing. If you choose to do the trimming on your own, you have a choice of two styles of clippers - scissor or guillotine. Either works well, but you should visit one of your local vet clinics and ask a professional to demonstrate the best way to clip your dog's nails.
Puppy paws
Raising puppies comes with extra responsibilities, so if you're an owner of a young dog, you'll need to pay serious attention to her paws. According to DoctorDog.com, canines who are new to walking, running and hiking in the great outdoors may need more time for their paws to adjust, because the pads of their feet may be more prone to cuts, chafing and other injuries.
If you are ever walking your dog and notice that she has sustained an injury on her foot, you must seek medical attention. A veterinarian can provide dog wound treatment, which should clear up the problem. Should the injury need time to heal, you may have to shorten your walks until your canine is in better shape.
You can proactively prevent foot wounds. If you live in an urban area, keep an eye out for any broken glass or other debris that may pose a threat to your pet's paws. Those who take walks in nature should stick to clear, well-maintained paths and use a leash to keep their pet from running off.

Since 1954, this nationwide organization has worked to protect animals
The Humane Society of the United States was founded in 1954 in order "to create a humane and sustainable world for all animals." The Humane Society boasts more than 11 million members, making it the country's most effective animal protection organization.
The organization's purpose. The HSUS has stayed true to its founding principles by "celebrating animals and confronting cruelty." The Humane Society's mission is "to forge a lasting and comprehensive change in human consciousness of and behavior toward all animals in order to prevent animal cruelty, exploitation, and neglect, and to protect wild habitats and the entire community of life."
The organization's methods. Education, advocacy, public policy reform, and the empowerment of supporters and partners characterize the Humane Society's efforts to accomplish its mission. HSUS emphasizes its respect for laws and the feelings of others as it moves forward to accomplish its goals. The Humane Society has direct animal care centers throughout the United States that assist thousands of animals, send lobbyists to Congress and educate the public about animal cruelty issues.
Specific Humane Society projects. The HSUS sponsors animal protection initiatives that include the prevention of animal cruelty and fighting, the elimination of puppy mills and overpopulation, the prevention of seal hunts and the fur trade, the ending of wildlife abuse, and the prevention of horse slaughter and equine abuse. The society aids animal rescue services, pet adoption, spay/neuter initiatives and direct care for animals at centers throughout the country.
Local humane societies. Local humane societies are not run by the Humane Society of the United States. They are independent establishments that serve the needs of their local communities. The HSUS does, however, work with local societies through training, evaluations, publications and other professional services.
What you can do to support the Humane Society. In addition to making donations at its website, by phone or by mail, HSUS lists several ways to support its causes, including contacting local law enforcement if you witness animal abuse, getting ID tags for your pet, preparing a disaster plan that includes your pet, adopting a pet and contacting your representatives in Congress in support of HSUS initiatives.
