Manchester United 1 Reading 0
Sir Alex Ferguson and Manchester United's march towards the 2013 Barclays Premier League title is a powerful statement.
Ten months on from the closest-fought and most exciting title race in the history of English football, culminating in Sergio Agüero's championship-winning goal for Manchester City against Queens Park Rangers, United are in the midst of turning the league season into a procession.
Ferguson and United have already achieved the largest winning margin in the history of top-flight English football, the 18 points by which they outperformed Arsenal in 2000. After Wayne Rooney's goal extended United's lead

Jason Aldean readies for "Night Train" excursion
Multi-platinum country crooner Jason Aldean has unleashed the cities planned for the first leg of his impending "2013 Night Train Tour."
The Georgia native will kick off the journey Feb. 21 in Bossier City, LA, and push through 23 major markets through May, according to a press release. Though dates for most stops have not been confirmed, the list of cities is shown below.
More information about the tour can be found at Aldean's website.
Late last month, Aldean traveled to three stadiums -- Athens, GA's Sanford Stadium, Chicago's Wrigley Field and Boston's Fenway Park -- to announce spring and summer shows in those locations, all of which sold out.
"The thing I'm most excited about for next year is getting to add some new songs off the 'Night Train' album into my show," Aldean said in a press release. "As a musician, it's great to be able to shake up the setlist and think of cool ways to present these new songs in the live show. We're already working on some cool production ideas, and we're going to come back from the holidays ready to go."
The CMA Entertainer of the Year nominee, who took home two Academy of Country Music Awards earlier this year, released the long-awaited new collection, produced by Michael Knox, Oct. 16 via Broken Bow Records.
The effort follows his Grammy-nominated fourth studio set, "My Kinda Party," which surfaced in November 2010.

Herbalix does not use parabens, synthetic preservatives, phthalates, propylene, dyes, fillers, metals, sulfates or emulsifiers in any of their products. From creams to dirty air and environmental toxins, what is absorbed through the skin is transported throughout the body. Herbalix Restoratives' mission is to provide organic and natural alternatives to chemical and environmental irritants. They buy raw materials from proven suppliers that extract their oils without chemicals, using clean processing methods. Many body care products are full of synthetic chemicals, many of which are derived from petroleum. Just how does Herbalix benefit my skin?Herbalix uses only the finest ingredients when formulating their products. There are no parabens, phthalates, petroleum, or fillers used in the making of their formulations. They also go to great lengths to avoid Refined, Bleached and Deodorized (RBD) oils. Every Herbalix Restoratives product contains Herbalix, their proprietary blend of sixty herbs and botanicals harvested from land and sea. Herbalix has proven to be not only an extremely effective, all natural preservative system, but a boost to skin health and vitality as well. The herbs used in Herbalix have a long and documented history of use by Chinese, East Indian and Native American cultures. Herbalix has a proven track record of successfully benefiting troublesome skin conditions as is detailed in our lengthy list of testimonials. Why are refined, bleached and deodorized ingredients bad for me? It is easy and cost effective to utilize RBD oils when manufacturing cosmetic and toiletry products. These oils are usually inexpensive, and it is much easier to formulate using them, as they are relatively free of scent and/or color. On the other hand, this ease of use comes at a cost to the consumer. RBD oils have been Refined, Bleached and Deodorized. They are completely devoid of any skin beneficial nutrients. These oils are processed at very high temperatures, at times cooked to almost 400 degrees. This heating destroys all of the natural components of the oil; the enzymes, minerals, essential fatty acids and vitamins. It is not so much that RBD oils are bad for the skin; it's just that they aren't good for the skin! Using non-RBD oils means that we go out of our way to provide you with skin beneficial ingredients in all of the Herbalix Restoratives products. Their oils will not plug the pores of the skin, or interfere with cellular respiration. They are easily absorbed and utilized by the skin tissues, delivering to the consumer powerful and effective results. Why is "chemical and petroleum free" important? It is important to avoid chemical and petroleum based products because the body does not recognize these compounds. These synthetic ingredients have no beneficial properties for the skin and are therefore rejected, causing inflammation and skin problems in many cases. Chemical and petroleum-based ingredients can cause adverse effects once trapped in skin tissues, causing damage to the skin. Petroleum based ingredients like mineral oil can also cause photosensitivity, creating a condition by which sun damage occurs at an easy, accelerated rate. These ingredients can also cause existing skin conditions to worsen with extended use. Is Nubian Goat's Milk really all that special?Goat's milk is uniquely different from cows' milk in the concentration and form of its nutrients. Compared with cows' milk, Goat's milk contains 13% more calcium, 25% more vitamin B6, 47% more vitamin A, 134% more potassium and 350% more niacin. It is also higher in chloride, copper and manganese. Goat's milk soap contains peptides that increase the skin's collagen production and leaves skin looking firmer, while reducing lines and wrinkles. Goat's milk is full of vitamins. It contains vitamin A, and several B vitamins including riboflavin, niacin, B6, B12. Alpha-hydroxy acids found naturally in Goat's milk have rejuvenating effects on skin cells, neutralizing free radicals and slowing the aging process. Nubian goat milk has a higher fat content and leaves less soap residue on the skin. Goat's milk has also been shown to have hypo allergenic properties and benefits. It is great for use on troubled skin and is excellent for use as a gentle yet thorough facial cleanser. Goat milk lowers the PH levels in soap which helps to maintain the natural PH in skin. Why aren't the Herbalix Restoratives No Added Fragrance products simply called 'Unscented'? Is there a difference?Good question! There is a vast difference between the classification of 'Unscented' and 'No Added Fragrance' where products are concerned. As such, Herbalix carefully named their 'No Added Fragrance' line as they did because they want to be very clear on this subject. The use of the word 'Unscented' means that the product in question contains a masking fragrance, (usually always petroleum derived) so that the olfactory senses can detect NO SMELL to the product whatsoever. At Herbalix Restoratives it is their primary objective to manufacture and provide products that are completely free of petroleum-derived and chemical-based ingredients. Using a masking scent would go against this objective. Also, these petroleum-based masking scents stress the body in the same way that other synthetic scents do; triggering many of the same allergic reactions, ranging from hives to respiratory distress and headaches. Herbalix wishes to spare their customers this distress! In their way of thinking, there is a great difference between wanting chemical and petroleum-free products, and needing them. Herbalix formulates all of their Herbalix Restoratives products keeping the folks who really need them in mind. As such, they never fudge on ingredients or cut corners. Herbalix named their 'No Added Fragrance' products as they did because you will smell the mild, natural aromas that come from our blend of unrefined base oils; predominantly a very faint smell of beeswax and coconut oil. Herbalix No Added Fragrance product line is created for those consumers who prefer clean products with no added or perfumey fragrance. They are great for folks allergic to scent- and also for those consumers who work in Scent-free zones!

We'll respond shortly.
As mentioned in yesterday's standup blog, my pair and I encountered some problems with YAML parsing over the last few days, and now that I think I understand it I wanted to document it for posterity.
Psych is a new YAML parser which presumably is better than what came before it, but can't merge hash keys correctly and doesn't work with delayed job. The merging of hash keys is serious, as our standard databse.yml defines a common section, and back references it merging in individual database name and settings. When psych is loaded, we get a blank database name, which makes active record pretty much useless.
Ruby 1.9.2 optionally compiles psych into ruby if you have libyaml installed on the computer. Some gems will require psych if it's available, thus poisoning any future YAML parsing which does not expect psych's pedantic (and currently broken) behavior.
You can always look at the value of the YAML constant – it can varry between YAML, Syck and Psych, depending on what's loaded. You can switch the yamler by adding YAML::ENGINE.yamler = 'syck', but you need to make sure this happens at every code entry point.
For now, I'm no longer install libyaml and libyaml-devel on servers, which got there because I had been following RVM's information ruby prerequisites. I'll also write a chef recipe to assert that libyaml is not installed.

Your organizer is just that. It is not actually moving any files or making copies of your stuff. It's like a window to where your files are stored, but you use it to organize it in a manner that works for you. So therefore it's not taking up any more space per say on your computer... Does that make sense?
Posted 05 February 2011 - 01:34 AM
I don't like the organiser. It keeps losing files and then you can't work with the photos. I sort my stuff into folders in Windows Picture Library.

The Cheetahs moved into the Super Rugby play-offs zone on Saturday after beating the Kings 26-12 in Bloemfontein.
The Cheetahs moved into the Super Rugby play-offs zone on Saturday after beating the Kings 26-12 in Bloemfontein.
The result leaves the Cheetahs one point behind the Bulls at the summit of the South African conference with four points guaranteed from their bye next week.
The Free Staters will nevertheless rue missing a four-try bonus point that seemed well within their reach.
The Cheetahs led 15-9 at the interval thanks to tries from prolific wing Raymond Rhule and flank Lappies Labuschagne, while Kings fly-half Demetri Catrakilis kicked three penalties to keep his team in the hunt.
A try for wing Willie le Roux and two more penalties from fly-half Burton Francis in the second half proved enough for the hosts to secure the spoils.
The Kings looked the part early on, running everything at the Cheetahs with the likes of number eight Jacques Engelbrecht keeping the Cheetahs' defence busy. They put the hosts under pressure which resulted in the hosts kicking away possession.
The Kings' inability to keep possession at the breakdown, however, posed problems for them.
The Cheetahs put the first points on the board when the visitors gave away possession and Cheetahs' scrum-half Piet van Zyl broke away. Speedster Raymond Rhule followed up and beat two Kings' defenders for his fifth try of the Super Rugby season.
The Cheetahs gave away numerous penalties in the first half, with Catrakilis capitalising, but their first try gave the home side valuable momentum which they utilised at every opportunity.
Francis kicked a penalty to give his side a five-point advantage in the 16th minute, but Catrakilis answered in kind after the hosts infringed at the break down area.
Ten minutes before half-time, the Cheetahs scored their second try after Labuschagne scored after another brilliant break by Van Zyl.
Francis converted, leaving the Kings trailing by nine points. The hosts discipline let them down once again and Catrakilis reduced the deficit to six points with his third successful penalty kick to leave the score 15-9 at half-time in favour of the Cheetahs.
The hosts started the second half at a mediocre pace, but soon played with the same attacking prowess they showed in the first half. Putting together some good attacking phases, it was only a matter of time before Le Roux scored the Cheetahs third try of the evening.
The Kings defended for most part of the first five minutes, but got some reward for their efforts when Catrakilis kicked his fourth penalty. Francis replied for the Cheetahs after big lock Ligtoring Landman was held up over the goal line in the wake of a penalty advantage.
Once again, it left the Kings 11 points short and they opted to kick for touch rather than goal with their next penalty.
The Cheetahs' solid defence, however, left no holes for the visitors and they in turn started to lose what little momentum they had. The hosts progressed to the Kings goal line once again, but this time Francis kicked a penalty to help settle things down.
The last couple of minutes of the game became really scrappy as the Cheetahs searched in vain for a bonus point try.

Cons: Francis

Fatigue is the most common side effect of breast cancer treatment and includes: incessant sleeping, inability to feel rested upon waking up, lack of interest in social and outside activities. Fatigue from breast cancer treatment is exacerbated by other breast cancer treatment side effects such as weight gain, depression and stress. Good ways to begin addressing fatigue are incorporating regular walking, increasing protein intake and nutritional diet as well as partaking in complementary and holistic medicine (acupuncture, massages, meditation, yoga).
You don't have to trek to the gym to exercise. There are plenty of ways to burn calories, build strength, and stay limber right in the comfort of your own home. Exercise is a proven breast-cancer preventive: women who exercise are less likely to be diagnosed with breast cancer than more sedentary women. Yet too many of us find excuses to…

By JASON BAILEYSun Advocate/Progress Webmaster
Digital imaging in today's world has become extremely popular. Many have replaced traditional cameras with digital ones, and others are scanning (converting) older prints and film into digital equivalents.
However, as digital technologies replace older technologies, quality control becomes extremely important. One measure of quality is PPI, or "pixels per square inch." Unfortunately, PPI is often misunderstood.
To understand PPI, it is important to understand what a digital image actually is. To a computer, a digital image is simply a collection of tiny colored "dots" (interpreted as small squares) called pixels arranged in rectangular fashion. As a whole, the computer sees the image as information. It has no way of knowing what the subject of the image is of, or whether the image is in focus or not.
To a human being, these pixels collectively form an image that has some sort of meaning. We don't see colored blocks, but rather a beautiful mountain vista or a moment during a birthday party.
It is critical to understand that a pixel by itself has no real-world or physical value. It is a piece of information, not a physical item. As a result, because a digital image is composed entirely of pixels, it also lacks tangible dimensions. This becomes a problem when we want to print such an image, because the printer won't know what to do with the pixels in the image.
PPI gives a photo physical dimensions by simply allocating a specified number of pixels to a square inch. It does this by dividing the pixels into equal, square regions. When PPI is changed, the pixels in the image itself never change - only the pixel allocation per inch (pixel grouping size) changes.
For example, when we increase the PPI, we are actually decreasing the total print dimensions (tangible dimensions, measured in inches) of the image. Each square inch will contain more pixels, and the print dimensions of each pixel decreases in size to accommodate the extra pixels per inch. The image will print smaller, but with better quality than the other image.
In contrast, if we decrease the PPI, we increase the total print dimensions of the image. Each square inch will contain less pixels, and the print dimensions of each pixel increases in size. The image will print larger, but with less quality than the other image.
In another example, let's say we have two digital images. These images are nearly identical. Both are of the same subject. Both are 4x6 inch images. However, one image is 150 PPI and the other is 300 PPI. The 300 PPI image will have a much larger file size (usually measured in kilobytes (KB) or megabytes (MB)) than the 150 PPI image. This is because the 300 PPI image has double the total pixels than the 150 PPI image.
If both images are printed on a common printer with the same printer settings, both will print out exactly the same size (4x6 inches). However, the 300 PPI image will print much clearer and crisper than the 150 PPI image.
Generally speaking, a 4x6 inch photo with low PPI will look grainy (or 'pixelated') when printed, whereas a 4x6 inch photo with a very high PPI will look cleaner and crisper. The more pixels you have in your image, the more flexible PPI control will be.
An important note should be made concerning PPI versus DPI. PPI ("pixels per square inch" and DPI ("dots per square inch") are often used interchangeably. However, DPI doesn't always refer to pixels. Keep that in mind when purchasing digital-imaging products or related accessories.
Most modern imaging devices (scanners, cameras, printers, etc) take a lot of the guesswork out of digital imaging and photography in an attempt to maximize quality, but having a basic understanding of what PPI actually is, and how it works gives you more control over your digital images.
In subsequent articles in this Digital Imaging series, PPI will be discussed in further detail and how it applies to scanners, printers and other digital imaging technologies.

|And So It Went
New biography of Kurt Vonnegut Jr. '44 is revealing but uneven
In January 1943, in the middle of his junior year, Kurt Vonnegut Jr. '44 dropped out of Cornell. He was flunking biochemistry and organic chemistry and—more important—he realized he would not be chosen editor-in-chief of the Daily Sun. Once an outspoken isolationist, Vonnegut enlisted in the Army. The war against the Nazis, he had decided, "was worth fighting."
Taken prisoner during the Battle of the Bulge, Vonnegut was a survivor of the fire-bombing of Dresden, Germany. He returned home with a subject to write about, but without a clear career path. After enrolling in and dropping out of the University of Chicago and working as a publicist for General Electric, Vonnegut decided to write full-time. He published a few science-fiction stories, but, according to Charles Shields, it would take Knox Burger '43, former editor of the Cornell Widow and, in 1949, an influential editor at Collier's magazine, to get him launched.
Shields is a journalist and the author of Mockingbird, a biography of Harper Lee. In his new biography of Vonnegut, And So It Goes (Henry Holt and Company), he draws on hundreds of interviews and a large cache of correspondence to provide a detailed, and not all that flattering, portrait of one of America's most popular "fabulators."
Born in Indianapolis, Indiana, in 1922, Vonnegut was an unhappy child, Shields suggests, scarred permanently by his family's loss of wealth and status in the Thirties and by the suicide of his mother. As an adult he could be funny, but was often sad and self-absorbed. The only thing he "hated more than listening to people," Vonnegut once said, was "talking to them." Apparently, he meant it—and he did not exempt his children, who received scalding rebukes when they wandered into his study.
Shields is not a literary critic. To be sure, he credits Vonnegut with broadening the genre of science fiction and observes, astutely, that in style and outlook, especially in Slaughterhouse-Five, Vonnegut borrowed more from Ambrose Bierce than from Mark Twain, the satirist with whom he is usually compared. Most of the time, however, his discussion of Vonnegut's novels does not extend beyond plot summaries and the identification of the "real life" models for his characters.
Kurt Vonnegut's work, Shields implies, does not require extensive analysis. Best understood as a "comic-didactic" rather than a "black humorist," Vonnegut tells morality tales (the critic Benjamin DeMott called them "bull session simplisms") about people struggling against corruption, oppression, and spiritual emptiness, often drawing on the imagination as their only weapon and sometimes accepting, wisely and without cynicism, their own powerlessness in a deterministic world.
Only mildly interested in politics for most of his life, Vonnegut was branded a left-wing firebrand, Shields points out, when the 1969 publication of Slaughterhouse-Five, which uses the Dresden bombing and Newton's Second Law of Thermo -dynamics to insist that "immoral acts cannot be undone," coincided, serendipitously, with some of the fiercest fighting of the Vietnam War. With good reason Vonnegut attributed his iconic status with young Americans to his insistence on addressing "sophomoric questions that full adults regard as settled" and for encouraging his readers "to make a better world." Vonnegut died in 2007, at eighty-four, from a respiratory infection and the effects of a bad fall outside his New York City apartment. "I'm old," he had told a reporter. "You ought to see what Mozart looks like by now."
Most of his books remain popular and in print. Given the war in Afghan i -stan, global warming, corporate corruption, and religious fundamentalism, Shields predicts, Vonnegut's fantastic morality tales—mixing humanism and existentialism, treating puzzlement and pain with an and-so-it-goes sigh—will "guide and inspire the next forward-looking generation." For better or worse, he may well be right.

It's either Newton's second law of motion, or the second law of thermodynamics. Figure out which one you meant. I'm guessing the second one. Incidentally, not once that law is mentioned in Slaughterhouse-five.
written by Hutchison, January 10, 2012
The narrator was explaining to to Billy Pilgrim that the reason diarrhea was expelled when he coughed had to do with Newton's Third Law. This comports with the nuggets of understanding to which I was led in Rockefeller Hall.
If this is Mr Shield's observation one should clearly avoid his book.

For three Emery County students, a student from Seattle Wash., and three adult chaperons, the dog days of summer were transformed into a five day adventure in archaeology as we were, for the second consecutive year, given the unique opportunity to fully participate in the University of Utah's eight week archaeology Field School at the Wilcox Ranch in Range Creek Canyon. This opportunity was part of a program sponsored jointly by the Emery County Economic Development Council, Emery County, and the Emery County School District designed to expose the young people of Emery County and select non-Emery County students to a broad spectrum of vocational opportunities through a series of summer camps. Aside from the archaeology camp this year's program gave additional students the opportunity to participate in other camps exposing them to such diverse subjects as paleontology, criminal investigation, as well as three sessions of the popular dino-day camp for younger (pre-school through fifth grade) students.
This year our archaeology team consisted of Gatlan Huntington, Cameron Stilson, and Brandon McCandless all of Emery County, Nick Van Veen of Seattle, Wash. with myself-Lou Sansevero, Mike McCandless (Director of Economic Development for Emery County), and Mark Stilson (Emery County Economic Development Council board member) serving as chaperons.
The university's archaeology field school is an intensive eight-week field course designed to teach basic archaeological field methods to undergraduate college students from all over the country who are pursuing professional careers in archaeology. Under the direction of Dr. Duncan Metcalfe (Professor of Anthropology and Curator of archaeology, Utah Museum of Natural History), our students were given the opportunity to fully participate with 12 college students in receiving training in a variety of archaeological field techniques including survey, mapping, soil identification, aspects of paleo-ecological research, as well as modern archaeological field and lab techniques in an ongoing Range Creek Project field research program. This season, for the first time during the field school, both the college and our students participated in actual, hands on, excavation of Fremont Indian "pit houses" in the "big village" location.
The adventure began for me at 8:30 a.m. on July 16 when I loaded my gear into Mike's county owned SUV, and we picked up Mike's son Brandon and headed to Price to join up with the rest of the team at the College of Eastern Utah museum to begin the two hour drive into Range Creek. Once in Price we linked up with Mark, Nick and Nick's parents (who would accompany us into Range Creek and spend the day with us at the Wilcox Ranch. We continued our journey to Wild Horse Canyon and up the narrow, steeply inclined road which crosses the pass at the 8,700 foot level and descends again to the main gate of Range Creek where we were met by Corinne Springer, a Utah Museum of Natural History Archaeologist, the Range Creek Ranch Manager, and Duncan's right hand (wo)man. After I briefly introduced the members of our party, Corinne gave us the "Reader's Digest" version of the pre-history of Range Creek, the Wilcox Ranch, and the Range Creek Project as we all lunched on sandwiches and ice cold drinks provided by the Emery County Economic Development Council. Corrine then unlocked the gate and escorted us to the ranch. On the way Corrine gave us a special guided tour stopping at numerous prehistory sites containing Indian writings, granaries, and pit houses which dot the roadside between the front gate and the ranch complex proper and which would surely be missed by all but the most observant hiker.
We arrived at the Wilcox ranch complex at about 2 p.m. and were greeted by Dr. Metcalfe (who prefers to be addressed as Duncan rather than Dr. Metcalfe) and his staff who made us feel at home, laid down the ground rules (mainly no food in your tents (bears you know) and invited us to set up camp. We unloaded and set up our tents in the camping area (Duncan, his staff, and the college students are housed in tents in a beautiful, park like setting adjacent to the main ranch buildings) and joined the rest of the students, Duncan, Corrine, and the teacher's assistants at the main building for what would be the pattern of our daily activity for the remainder of our stay; a short lecture on some aspect of archaeology, a description of the days activities, and the division into groups after which we picked up our water and field gear and headed out into the "field" to complete the days assignments. Once in the field we were treated by the TAs just like one of the undergraduates fully participating in using the equipment, making measurements, surveying sites, digging, and recording the results.
During the previous season the teaching syllabus for the week we were there mainly involved historic archaeology (archaeology of the site since contact by Europeans). This involved using GPS equipment and technology to map the ranch complex, collecting and documenting historic artifacts, and using the "total station" device (a device similar to a GPS device but which is capable of recording locations in three dimensions and is mainly used to produce a topographic map of a site) to document the features of historic Range Creek in preparation for preservation of the complex. This season would be different. This season the emphasis was on the pre-history (before contact with Europeans) of Range Creek. This season our students were not only involved in the high-tech aspects of modern archaeology but also got involved in surveying (walking in line across a prehistoric site, visually scouring the site for artifacts (arrowheads, tools, pot chards, etc.) recording them and, if the artifact was deemed of significance, collecting them, as well as in excavating sites and screening the excavated materials identifying and collecting material. During our stay Duncan, Corrine, their staff and the undergrads extended themselves to ensure we had the opportunity to experience pre-historic archaeology "up close and personal". Each evening, after supper and clean-up, members of the U of U's team arranged for Emery students to hike into or, in some cases, up to pre-historic sites around the area where we were allowed unprecedented access, at times coming within feet if not inches, of Indian writings, granaries, and artifacts. By weeks end every member of our team had discovered artifacts, each had learned how to look at a possible habitation or work site with the critical eye of an archaeologist and how to distinguish the remains of dwellings, ceremonial or work sites from natural occurring rock falls, how to tell rock tools from plain ol' rocks, and most important, how to appreciate and interpret what they saw.
After five days immersed in archaeology and field work we struck camp, bid tearful goodbyes to our new colleagues, loaded up our gear and returned to civilization with its comfortable beds, showers, and air conditioning an adventure behind us that we will all remember the rest of our lives. All of us who participated in this project deeply appreciate the hospitality of the University, the students, and Dr. Metcalfe, Corrine Springer and their staff in allowing the students of Emery this unprecedented access into their world.

While you probably waded through a hundred different festival style round-ups after Coachella, we've saved the best for last. Check out these photos we snapped while our very own Renee was rocking out for three days in the sun. She not only donned a few awesome outfits, but she spotted some great spring & summer denim trends along the way.
"Here I am in neon bathing suit top, NARS lipstick in Heat Wave, True Religion top (love the tiny floral print), and cut-offs that I made from an old pair of Banana Republic jeans."
"This girl's crocheted crop top and Topshop high waisted shorts more or less summed up the statement of the weekend. We love the way her skinny belt sits in her over-sized belt loops."
"These ladies were covering all of the summer trend bases: fedora, cut offs, acid wash, crochet/lace crop tops, florals, fanny packs, cross body fringe bags…"
"Here's me in floral Anthropologie top and True Religion shorts—these clothes so are good for chilling out, Coachella-style!"
"And finally, my favorite outfit to end the post! A navy blue lace Free People top, Target bathing suit (necessary to layer something underneath there unless you're a total exhibitionist, which actually isn't that uncommon at festivals), and True Religion shorts."

Dr Sid Schwab alerted me to this news article.
A familiar chasm separates what women dig from what dudes imagine women dig. But for mixed martial arts, a combination of boxing, wrestling and jiu-jitsu that has found favor among young men, cauliflower ear has assumed a place alongside such evocative conditions as torn elbow ligaments in pitchers, knee tendinitis in marathon runners and torn anterior cruciate ligaments in female basketball players.
In gym locker rooms and online discussion forums, teenage boys trade advice on ways to gain that telltale look.
"It's man's ear," said Nisar Loynab, 15, who trains at Capital Jiu-Jitsu in Alexandria, Va. "When you get cauliflower, you're really a man."
Interesting that this deformity is finding favor. I posted the following on cauliflower ear last September.
Because of it's location, the ear is vulnerable to blunt trauma. A blunt blow to the external ear can cause bruising between the cartilage and the layer of connective tissue around it (perichondrium). When blood collects in this area, the external ear becomes swollen and purple. The collected blood (hematoma) can cut off the blood supply to the cartilage, allowing that portion of the cartilage to die, leading in time to a deformed ear. This deformity is common among wrestlers, boxers, and rugby players. (photos credit)
The cartilage of the ear has no other blood supply except that supplied by the overlying skin. When the skin is pulled from the cartilage, and/or separated from the cartilage by blood (as with accumulated blood from injury called a hematoma) or infection, the cartilage is deprived of important nutrients. Ultimately, the cartilage dies and the risk of infection is increased. Left untreated, the ear cartilage begins to contract on itself forming a shriveled up outer ear classically known as the cauliflower ear deformity. Once there is cartilage death and scarring (fibrosis), the resulting deformity is very difficult to reconstruct (if at all possible). Often the victim is left with a permanent deformity. (photo credit)
Common causes of cauliflower ear deformity include previous trauma, relapsing polychondritis, perichondritis, and Hansen's disease. These are very diverse diseases, which vary significantly in their therapeutic strategies. With no history of trauma, these other causes should not be overlooked.
"The review found no trials of good quality to demonstrate that any one technique, which removes the hematoma and prevents its recurrence, gives the best cosmetic outcome. The literature however generally suggests that treatment is better than leaving a hematoma untreated. Well designed studies are required."--4th reference below.
With that said, it is generally accepted that the hematoma needs to be evacuated. This may be done by incising the skin and removing the blood with suction or by inserting a needle and aspirating. After the hematoma is empty, a compression dressing is applied and left on for 3 to 7 days to prevent the hematoma from coming back. (photo set from sixth reference article)
The dressing keeps the skin and perichondrium in their normal positions, allowing blood to reach the cartilage again. Sometimes through-and-through ear sutures over dental gauze rolls or insertion of a Penrose drain plus a pressure dressing is used. Because these injuries are prone to infection, an oral antibiotic effective against staphylococci (eg, cephalexin 500 mg TID X 5 days).
When treated aggressively and promptly, the cauliflower ear deformity is unlikely. Any delay in diagnosis leads to more difficulty in managing this problem and the risk of deformity is greater.
Wearing the right headgear when playing sports - especially contact sports - is a must. Helmets can not only save you from developing cauliflower ear but protect you from serious head injury as well. Always wear a helmet if you are biking, blading, riding your scooter, or playing any sport where helmets or other forms of headgear are recommended or required (like football, baseball, hockey, boxing, or wrestling). Products like Impact can add more protection when playing sports like rugby.

By Errol Castens/NEMS Daily Journal
Each year my preschool-teacher wife compiles her students' interpretations of their mothers' best dishes.
Harper's and Andrew's favorite is cheese pizza.
Harper emphasizes that her mom adds "yummy cheese" before putting the pie into the oven "on 100 degrees for SIX DAYS!." Their dipping sauce is ranch dressing.
Andrew's mom's cooks the pizza "on six degrees for six minutes," he reports, adding that his mom is such a good cook "'cause she puts stuff in the oven."
Wilson favors pepperoni pizza, which his mom cooks "on a rectangle griddle thing that's supposed to go in the oven … on 80 degrees or something like that for 56 seconds."
For Lily, the magic is in muffins, which starts with a box of mix, 10 glasses of milk and nine blueberries.
"Then she puts it in every container in the tray and puts it in the oven for 30 minutes at 20 degrees. She lets them warm up; then me and my brother eat one," Lily says.
To make grilled cheese sandwiches, Lauren's mother cuts bread into triangles and tops them with "regular" cheese.
"Then she cooks it in the oven at 50 degrees for 20 minutes," Lauren said.
After taking strudel out of a bag, Mary Elena's mother "toasts it for … maybe, like, 20 seconds. Then we put the white icing on it. I think she does the best cookin' at breakfast and lunch," M.E. says.
Barrett loves his mom's well-seasoned steak, which she cooks in both the oven and the microwave, with salt, pepper and cinnamon.
"And then we go to Big Pop's and Grandma's and eat the steaks there," he says.
Tyler's mom, reportedly "the greatest cooker ever," makes "sketti" on the stove, then in the oven, at 10 degrees.
"She waits four or five minutes, then she gets it out of the oven. Then we eat it all with my Aunt Carla, Uncle Matt, and Jude."
Mary Carter loves her mom's shrimp.
"She puts it on a tray and puts it in the oven at 10 degrees for four or eight minutes," Mary Carter says, adding that she loves her mom "'cause you make the best shrimp ever!"
Breannah's mom often prepares tacos.
"First she takes the flat circle thing and then she puts it in the oven at five degrees for four minutes," Breanna says. After her mom grills meat, she adds spicy sauce and serves with cheese, lettuce and tomatoes.
"Then," Breannah declares, "it's a crunchy taco."
The class' other Mary declares devotion to her mother's "sea sandwiches."
"First she gets the biscuits and ocean water, then she gets a donut from Sina," she says, confident that everyone knows Sina.
"She takes the biscuit and wraps it up with a cookie cutter and cuts it in half. Then she paints it blue and cooks it in the oven on hot and cold till 5:40 in the morning. Then I eat it when the moon comes out."

Leafs' Goalies vs. Scoring Chances, 2010-11
Slava Duris
August 31 2011 08:58PM
I've put together scoring chances data for the Leafs' goaltenders. This includes their performance against A, B, and C grade chances, against Net Presence type chances, and against opposition Breakaways and Odd Man Rushes in each situation (Even Strength, 1-man Advantage PPs, and PKs while down 1 man).
Once again, this is from the 80 games that I recorded on the season, I do not have the detailed data for the other two games.
Before we take a look at how goalies fared, I will give my criteria for A, B, and C grade scoring chances so you can understand what I'm talking about when I mention them.
Grade A scoring chances (aka High Quality SCs) - Prime chances for a goal. For those that aren't goals, the puck didn't go in due to either a quality save by the goalie, or the shooter missing the goal. Odd man rushes, breakaways, rebounds (almost always), and otherwise defensively uncontested (wide open) scoring chances are given this grade.
Grade B chances - A shot taken from within the "slot" and lower part of the circles nearest the goal (the part of the ice within the section highlighted in green in the diagram below) is given this rating if the chance doesn't fall under the "A" criteria. Deflections are given this grade as well, and I only counted them as chances if they were on goal or hit a post/crossbar (I believe some may argue against this).
Grade C chances - Usually a shot from outside the scoring chance area through screens or traffic in front of the goal, or a shot taken from the higher part of the scoring area (the teal-highlighted section in the diagram). As with deflections, I only counted a shot through traffic if it was on goal.
SCORING AREA (in the green and teal areas):
For posterity, the Leafs' shooting percentages for at 5v5 after 72 games (my apologies, I know this is pretty bush but it's the only data for Leafs shooters I have quickly available to me on this computer, it'll have to do right now) were 25.6 % on A chances, 8.8 % on B chances, and 14.5 % on C chances.
vs. CHANCE CATEGORIES A, B, & C:
Giguere struggled against the tougher quality scoring chances, as his percentage is much inferior to Gustavsson's and Reimer's. He bore down way, way better against the B-grade chances, though, as did Reimer. The "Monster" or the "Goose", whatever you call him, didn't fare so good against those B chances and he also had a harder time overall while the Leafs were down a man so he does have some work cut out for him. Once again, Optimus Reim's numbers look encouraging.
vs. NET PRESENCE CHANCES:
Gustavsson did inordinately well at saving rebounds during Even Strength play! On the other hand, every 2nd rebound shot against J-S. Giguere was converted into a goal. Reimer had a bad run against shots through traffic but the numbers are too small here to take any significant meaning from.
vs. BREAKAWAYS & ODD MAN RUSHES:
Another area where Reimer shines. Hard not to like the kid last season...
Really cool stuff. Gustavsson's numbers look... well, less bad than his box stats. Giguere easily has the worst numbers of the three.
According to this, Gus's bad numbers last season look very situational. While he didn't do well on B chances, he did great on A and C chances, and rebounds. His PK numbers are atrocious.
September 01 2011, 08:56AM
According to this, Gus's bad numbers last season look very situational. While he didn't do well on B chances, he did great on A and C chances, and rebounds. His PK numbers are atrocious.
Gustavsson's specific area of concern are just A and C chances... which strikes me as an odd one.
If he sucks on A chances he just might not be that stellar (which to me screams back up goalie).
As for the C chances... he HAS to cut down on those goals... that's a focus issue for me.

Spiel Magazine: appreciating the art of football por Aaron› 5 Abril 2012
In the age of the internet, fanzines and football magazines have suffered or been forced online – so in some ways it's surprising to see some new publications on the scene here in the UK. The likes of Spiel, The Blizzard and Green Soccer Journal have all arrived over the past year or so, all with a particular take on the beautiful game. But why now? We spoke to Dan, one half of the duo behind Spiel, about why they wanted to bring their ideas to print…
At a time when most people are online, why did you guys decide to stick to print?
'We've always been fans of print and the different things you can do with it. You can read things online, but it's different. There are benefits to online content in that it is so immediate, but maybe thats what puts me off. I want to make something that people will keep, not read and discard. In print you have the idea of a magazine as an artifact; something that you can hold, that feels nice, smells nice. It's just a more rounded experience really.'
Were you inspired by any particular publications?
'Probably culture magazines rather than football mags. Meat Magazine used to be fantastic. A Polish magazine called WAW is great too - definitely an influence when we thought about font usage. At the time we were starting Spiel we were both really into a German student mag called Komma and so I suppose that inspired us in terms of look and feel. There are so many fantastic magazines out there giving a really detailed idiosyncratic look at a subject they love and that is something we are keen on too.'
Looking at Spiel it's similar in some ways to a fanzine, but much better quality. Were they an inspiration at all?
'They were always a bit flimsy, they looked self-published, but that was part of the appeal of a fanzine. We definitely liked the look of them, a lot of them from the 1980s had a very distinct style, and that's something we were trying to hint at but alongside the sort of content and design you might expect from an art booklet or magazine. We wanted a free football mag that had that thought-out look and feel to it.'
You seem to have more of a global view on the game as well, was that an important part of Spiel's ideology?
'Yeah certainly; there is a place for regional fanzines and they come up with some great team specific content but that isn't what we aiming for. We want to be able to feature the best and most interesting things we can find without limiting it geographically and avoid the sort of bias that sometimes goes with the territory of regional mags.'
With that in mind, how do you decide what goes in an issue of Spiel?
'We tend to have an idea of what we want on the cover. The latest edition is inspired by early 1990s football shirts, and the patterns they all had on them. Shirts like the Arsenal away kit from that era, old Norwich home kits, we've just been inspired by that style of design. For other issues, it's just been bits of art that we've liked and felt like it reflected the content.
In terms of what's in the issue, we go off what we want to write about or interesting things that others want to write about, and we just try to find the best writers that we can. Not always football writers either, we like getting people who wouldn't normally be talking about football because it can be quite culturally interesting to hear from them. We like people who are footy geeks like us, but are going to look at it in a strange way.'
A lot of the new football magazines avoid what you might think is 'typical' football fan culture. Would you agree?
'I think with a lot of football fans they don't actually do the macho football fan thing. We play football on a Thursday night in Liverpool, and amongst the group there's artists and designers, none of them really fit into the stereotypical view of a football fan, but they are proper fans. Football's such a massively inclusive world, not everyone likes a pie, a pint and a fight, there's so much more out there, but we didn't think that was catered for that much. We're aiming to do a more creative take on football, including art and culture, because people are into football but they're also into other things.'
Who would you love to see write something for Spiel?
'Not sure on that one… there's a couple of football journalists that we like, but just as much I'd love some great artists to come in and write something. We had Neil Fitzmaurice, who's just won the Northern Art Prize, and he was really interesting, he makes these little football kits out of cigarette packets, and he has his own very niche take on football. So I suppose rather than a big name, we just want people who are that little bit different.'
Finally, the most important question – who's better at football, you or Paul?
'I hate to say it but maybe Paul. I play up front or on the right wing and am fatally flawed as a footballer by inconsistency with my final ball. If I have a good day then I am pretty good but on a bad day, well let's not talk about it.'
Thanks to Dan for taking the time to speak to us, and thanks to India Hobson for allowing us to use the fantastic photos that feature in the current issue – you can find out more about Spiel magazine here.

Skip to comments.Gabrielle Giffords wants to feel better before returning to D.C.
Posted on 11/15/2011 5:00:09 AM PST by Graybeard58
Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, in her first public interview since she was shot in the head in Tucson last winter, doted on her husband, former astronaut Mark Kelly, and called him brave, brave, brave as she kissed his bald head.
Giffords appears on ABCs 20/20 show Monday night. Its her first extended interview since the January rampage that killed six people and wounded 13.
A segment that aired on Good Morning America shows a thin Giffords with a broad grin as she talks about Kelly. Her husband replied that the word brave was the same one that came to his mind when he thinks of her brave and tough, he said. Then Giffords, looking directly at Kelly, responds almost in a whisper: Tough, tough, tough.
It wasnt clear from the clip beyond those few words just how fully recovered Giffords is 10 months after the shooting. Interviewer Diane Sawyer recounted how Giffords would discuss her career plans and her recovery, and the segment included some video of Giffords progress, from being unable to speak at all, to the point where she was ready to give a television interview.
At one point, Giffords breaks down sobbing while having difficulty relearning to speak and she and her therapist hug. In another clip, she sings into a microphone as part of her speech therapy. And in another she walks holding hands with her husband.
The television interview comes as fellow victims of the shooting came to Washington to testify in favor of a gun-control bill. They said that Giffords appearance represents a major milestone for them as it helps them cope with the trauma theyve endured over the past 10 months. About a dozen survivors and family members are in Washington lobbying for legislation that would extend criminal background checks to

(The television interview comes as fellow victims of the shooting came to Washington to testify in favor of a gun-control bill. They said that Giffords appearance represents a major milestone for them as it helps them cope with the trauma theyve endured over the past 10 months.)
That's where any sympathy I had evaporated immediately. This just becomes another cheap way that the Libs (as Ann Coulter gives so many examples about) trot out people you cannot criticize to push through contravertial laws that they want, that limit liberty for the law-abiding citizen.
So her district is still going without a vote in the House? Are the folks in her district okay with that? And has anyone ever asked her why she never insisted on police protection for herself and her constituents at her public appearance?
This is really the central point of this "emo" piece.
I'll tell you who is "brave, brave, brave", it's the conservative judge who sacrificed his life to save hers. I doubt HE was for gun control, and somehow I don't think the "reporter" would ask his surviving family members if he did or not. I am so unbelievably disgusted with the lot of them. There is no shame in using anything and everything and everybody to advance their fascist agenda. We saw the same thing with the healthcare debate.
I know I will be accused of being insensitive and mean-spirited but it seems that she can't string together cogent complex statements or thoughts. Doesn't that suggest that she will be unable to understand most complex processes (including understanding and voting on legislation written in legalese that exceed 1000's of pages)? Maybe just rehabbing and living should be the best course for her. Maybe she should resign?
I'm with you. This reminds me of the Emmys (or somebody) wheeling out an Alzheimer's-wracked James Doohan ("Scotty" of Star Trek) at the awards show. Painful, sickening ....and really, really cheap.
she should not be allowed back to her job
This is quickly turning into another democrat freakshow.
"it seems that she cant string together cogent complex statements or thoughts".
Watch and listen to Democrat Congressman Hank Johnson explain how sending too many Marines to Guam might make the island "tip over" and he's dead serious, then tell me that it matters to democrats whether their congress person has the brain power that God gave a goose:
So on one hand, I am told about Giffords incredible recovery and then scolded for opposing her point-of-view?
Sorry, but all this tells me is that one of my enemies has made an incredible recovery.
The liberals have a real victim this time and will milk it for all it's worth.
No doubt that the deomcrats will put extreme pressure on Ms. Giffords and her husband astronaut Kelley to get her to run again for congress in '12.
If they can't get her to run they'll run her husband.
When I clicked on this thread, I was ready to criticize anyone making a political point at her expense.
Now, I am ready to criticize Giffords, and all other statist liberals, for being so incredibly sleazy.
These people would sell their own mothers, if it would help advance a socialist agenda.
Highly unlikely. She's a 'Rat. Look how long they kept Strom Thurmond and Robert Byrd in the Senate. Certainly long past either having anywhere near the mental capacity to truly serve their constituents.
I"m sorry to seem so callous BUT why the hell is this woman still occupying a seat in the House? Her constituents have been without representation since January. I wish her well & am glad she's had a remarkable recovery, but the truth is anyone in the private sector would have lost their job long ago.
She's the perfect democrat. Since when does one need a fully operating brain or the ability to string together a sentence to vote how Nancy Pelosi says you should.
Never stopped Biden.
Anyone who doesn't think obama is coming for the guns if given a second term, ought to think twice about who our candidate should be. I've been saying all along, if for no other reason - Rick Perry and the great state of Texas is the way to go to protect our Second Amendment rights. This should be our number one issue. If Obama gets a second term he will have free reign and do irreparable damage.
You're aware that Strom Thurmond was a Republican during the final 38+ years of his Senate career, right?
Adding the gun control on top of it is just another example of the libs opportunism and control.
Of course I do. I was born and raised in Georgia. I'm a hell of a lot more familiar with southern politics than you will ever be, partner.Once a Democrat, always a Democrat......see Strom's voting record for details.....
Gifford is unable to form sentences. Her husband cued her to utter a rehearsed phrase. She seems well enough cognitively but may never regain the ability to articulate. Didn't like the manipulation of the public. Unfortunately, it is standard media procedure now.
Giffords barely won in 2010. Jesse Kelly, who challenged her then, has filed to run again. I don't know if Giffords has filed or not. It's a swing district.
Her district has been without representation for almost a year, but that's their choice to make. I don't know if she's even been able to cast a vote since then.
It's a touchy situation. Kelly can't be out there stating the obvious or else he'll seem heartless.
I don't see how Giffords campaigns, let along do the job she's been elected to do. If she wins, it will be via sympathy vote, not a confidence vote.
Maybe her constituents will realize that they're not being represented adequately and make the decision to retire for her.
Watching the video, towards the end there was a time when she could only say the word 'chicken' for several says.
That was not fully reported by the press. When she was asked about President George W. Bush all she said was 'chicken'. They made it sound like she was just using that word for him.
Unbelieveable. No, actually believeable.
she is being used
If she had any class she would resign and run again in a few years when she improves. This is a farce. But Democrats have no class and always feel entitled to govern. The party of socialist policy wonks
Isn't a Republican going to run against her? This is ridiculous
"...suggest that she will be unable to understand most complex processes (including understanding and voting on legislation written in legalese that exceed 1000s of pages..."
Could she do that before the shooting?
I hope this woman has a full recovery.
Having said that, it is shameful she did not resign shortly after the shooting. She has disenfranchised her constituents from meaningful representation just so she can hang onto power.
I hope Jesse Kelly runs against her again. Unfortunately, she might be reelected by a "sympathy vote" from the ever increasing group of sheeple voters.
Is that a requirement to be a demonRAT congress critter?
So you're saying that it was the Democrats who pushed for Strom Thurmond's reelection at the ages of 81, 87 and 93? Okey, dokey.
There are a lot of examples (apart from Robert Byrd) of Democrats sending politicians that are way past their expiration date back to Washington—Dan Inouye, John Dingell, Charles Rangel, Carl Hayden, Claude Pepper, Jamie Whitten, Jack Brooks, Fritz Hollings, etc. And as for younger, mentally incompetent Democrats, there's always Hank Johnson and Cindy McKinney from your own home state. And you choose *Strom Thurmond* to make a point about how Democrats keep sending back people without "anywhere near the mental capacity to truly serve their constituents"? I would think that someone who is so knowledgeable about Southern politics, being born and raised in Georgia and all, would be able to come up with a second name that does not belong to someone who not only was supported by Republicans when he ran in his 80s and 90s, but who affirmatively was opposed by Democrats in those races.
What happened to Giffords was awful...
that said, when are her husband and father going to apologize to the Tea Party folks in her district for accusing them for the shooting, hmmmm?
Kelly is a dim lib in uniform...celebrated the repeal of DADT with his wife who voted for it; jumped to the conclusion that a conservative shot his wife without knowing the facts; using this opportunity for more gun restrictions...
he'd be perfect to replace her...
she will be unable to understand most complex processes (including understanding and voting on legislation written in legalese that exceed 1000s of pages)?
Above description would apply to 95% of the morons inside the beltway.
She can't run because she can't speak well at all. But you are right, I think her husband may run.
Thx! Has she voted since then, do you know?
WOW, i think that mightve been a bit harsh...
eff the commie bee-atch...just another commie foorsoldier willing to fight to the end, like fat-dead-ted...
the whole lot of em remind me of longshanks in Braveheart...to the dying breath, hopin to see the fruits of their lifelong pursuit of evil...
maybe her and jim brady can go on the road and do a duet, between the two, i think theve still got half a brain...
dang, another mean comment??? ask me if i care about either one of their feeeelings as they work tirelessly to kill me...???
I've heard that some are trying to get her to run for the Open Senate Seat in 2012! They know people aren't going to have the guts to vote against Giffords....Sadly she will probably sail to a win for any office she runs for on Sympathy! Then it's Gabby for President...
plus no deductable insurance and $174K or the rest of her life
Strom Thurmond was a Republican. But there was another Democratic senator from a Northwestern state that had a stroke I believe and stayed on in the Senate.
"... When I clicked on this thread, I was ready to criticize anyone making a political point at her expense..."
No offense, Cringe, but I don't understand why you would...
She's going to do exactly what she would have done had she NOT been shot - ironically, by a Liberal Poster Child Protege. Loughner was one of THEIRS - a PERFECT example of what happens when you absorb liberal BS all your life.
This isn't a game. It's for the survival of the country, ultimately, and sentimentality or "compassion" for the enemy only gets them further ahead in their agenda.
I don't mourn, nor eulogize, nor have compassion for the other side. They would dance on our graves in a heartbeat.
And I seriously don't give a rat's ass about "sinking to their level" - THEY'RE WINNING. They've BEEN winning for decades because THEY don't give a rat's ass about how they fight. They fight to destroy us, period.
I took a beating on another thread some thread some months back over comments I made regarding some "well-liked" Canadian socialist that took the dirt nap. My comment was "No loss. One less socialist". You wouldn't believe the hatemail I got for that. Mod deleted my comment, but I still hold to it.
Not going to pretend these people are anything other than exactly what they are - either hardcore die-hard socialist/communists or Useful Idiots, and every one of them aiming a dagger at our back.
In Gifford's case, she's DOUBLY useful now - a Poster Child Victim that's also a Legislator that will rubber stamp anything they want her to, especially if it's against to our gun rights.
Sarah Brady is another perfect example. Trotting her wheelchair bound husband out and screaming "See!!! See!!! THIS is what happens because people have guns!!!"
That they are so sleazy should not surprise you, or anyone. These are the "bloody shirt" moments they LIVE for.
They'll dance in the blood of murdered people and use it to justify more eventual murder, ultimately.
"...dang, another mean comment??? ask me if i care about either one of their feeeelings as they work tirelessly to kill me...???..."
My sentiments exactly, brother G....
She should have resigned. The people of her district have been unrepresented since the shooting.
The seats still haven't been redrawn yet to my knowledge.
GOP-controlled AZ unfortunately does it by independent commission. Gov Brewer removed the chairwoman. They have a draft map, I've read Republicans don't like it. The courts will likely decide things.
The situation with Giffords miffs me. She should have resigned.
If she is reelected due to sympathy that would be unfortunate. But if she continued to not show up to work and vote to screw her constituents that would nice. Better a democrat that doesn't vote than any other democrat.
No other votes that I know of.
I live just outside the beltway...You wouldn't believe how right you are.

No Beets in the White House Garden
Offering evidence that he is our smartest president ever, Obama hates beets, and won't plant them in his new garden. Root vegetable partisans want him to reconsider.
Don't do it, Barry! You're absolutely right, beets are gross!
I've tried to like them. I bought some lovely-looking organic specimens at the farmers' market, roasted them just like the farmer suggested, and then couldn't bring myself to swallow a bite. They taste like dirt, but... creepy.
I propose a constitutional ban.

Posted on 12/05/2013 6:33:43 AM PST by blam

A new, improved sequencing of ancient human relative genomes reveals that Homo sapiens didn't only have sex with Neanderthals and a little-understood line of humans called Denisovans. A fourth, mystery lineage of humans was in the mix, too.
As reported by the news arm of the journal Nature, new genetic evidence suggests that several hominids human relatives closer than humans' current living cousin, the chimpanzee interbred more than 30,000 years ago. This group of kissing cousins included an unknown human ancestor not yet revealed by the ancient DNA record.
"It's implied it could be something like Homo erectus or similar," said Carles Lalueza-Fox, a paleogenomics researcher at Pompeu Fabra University in Spain, who was not involved in the research, but who was present at a talk on the findings given by lead author David Reich of Harvard Medical School at a meeting on ancient DNA sponsored by the Royal Society in London on Nov. 18. Homo erectus is an extinct species of human that originated in Africa and spread into Asia. [See Images of Our Closest Human Ancestor]
Ancient human lineages
Neanderthals are an extinct group of humans who lived between about 30,000 and 130,000 years ago. Despite their reputation as bone-headed dummies, Neanderthals were likely as advanced as modern humans in areas such as tool-making, though they were probably less socially adept.
Denisovans are a far more mysterious group. These early humans lived in Siberia and probably split off from the branch of the human family tree that would eventually give rise to Neanderthals about 300,000 years ago. Little is known about how Denisovans lived and what they looked like.

He did get around.
One guess is as good ss another.
Yup, know exactly what you mean...
The sons of God - Those who were called by the name of the Lord, and called upon that name, married the daughters of men - Those that were profane, and strangers to God. The posterity of Seth did not keep to themselves as they ought, but intermingled with the race of Cain: they took them wives of all that they chose - They chose only by the eye: They saw that they were fair - Which was all they looked at.

And thus the History Channel has filled its primetime lineup for another season...
Apparently even the cavemen liked "good ss".
Duh...The Nephilim.
yes ... is the truth ... fallen angels.
The Sons of God were not angelic beings. (It looks like you are suggesting this. I know others have.) Gods makes it clear in Genesis that the kinds reproduce after their own kind. (Genesis 1:21,24,25). Men and women reproduce within their own kind. Angels do not marry and do not reproduce.
"Sons of God" are men who believe on The Lord (see John 1:12). The "daughters of men" are the unsaved females of the unbelieving tribes/groups. God warns us not to be unequally yoked. He told the children of Israel not to interbreed with the occupants of the promised land. And he repeats this in the NT when he commands us not to be "unequally yoked."
Not really.
"human relatives closer than humans' current living cousin, the chimpanzee"
So why isn't there any interbreeding between cousins? lol
Afraid of catching AIDs again? lol
It's the only logical choice.
Well perhaps in this case...not so mysterious...but rather obvious!

More of a boot rather than a Boat Shoe
"I'm not disappointed in Sperry Top-Sider Shipyard Chukka Boot, however I was hoping to have more of a "boat shoe" feel rather than a boot feel. They are very comfortable, and as in all Sperry products look better and better as you wear them over time."
