The ear canal is lined with hair follicles and glands that produce a waxy oil called cerumen. The wax will most often make its way to the opening of the ear. There it will fall out or be removed by washing.
Wax can build up and block the ear canal. Wax blockage is one of the most common causes of hearing loss.
Ear impaction; Cerumen impaction; Ear blockage
Ear wax protects the ear by:
In some people, the glands produce more wax than can be easily removed from the ear. This extra wax may harden in the ear canal and block the ear. When you try to clean the ear, you may instead push wax deeper and block the ear canal.
Most cases of ear wax blockage can be treated at home. The following remedies can be used to soften wax in the ear:
Another method is to wash out the wax.
To avoid damaging your ear or causing an infection:
After the wax is removed, dry the ear thoroughly. You may use a few drops of alcohol in the ear or a hair dryer set on low to help dry the ear.
You may clean the outer ear canal by using a cloth or paper tissue wrapped around your finger. Mineral oil can be used to moisturize the ear and prevent the wax from drying.
If you cannot remove the wax plug or you have discomfort, consult a health care provider, who may remove the wax by:
The ear may become blocked with wax again in the future. Hearing loss is often temporary. In most cases, hearing returns completely after the blockage is removed.
Rarely, trying to remove ear wax may cause an infection in the ear canal or damage to the eardrum.
See your health care provider if your ears are blocked with wax and you are unable to remove the wax.
Also call if you have an ear wax blockage and you develop new symptoms, such as:

ACParadise Network: American Cosplay Paradise American Cosplay Experience American Cosplay Snapshots
Wheeee I love cosplay. I especially like making plaushies. I have been into cosplay for about 4 years now, but have not been a 'heavy' cosplayer until last year when I pulled all my skills together to make Belldandy! After that I was so enthused. All that attention drove me crazy, and playing that character was too much fun. More! More! xD Then my attention and inspiration turned tward my origonal character, Dragon Sama. I can't put her on ACP though ;-; But I finished my Rabi en Rose cosplay, yay! It's a shame I missed the cosplaylab.com's ranienrose look alike contest, I really think I could have won that.... Oh well!!!!

how do you figure out who "wins?" or is it just for fun
quote:I think something fairly simple could be done using just things like All conference, major awards, and draft position. Its just a matter of who is willing to do it and finding a consistent publication to get the all conference teams from
We have discussed scoring systems each year, but in the end there is way too much work involved. It takes long enough just to research and keep track of your own players.
Its just a matter of who is willing to do it and finding a consistent publication to get the all conference teams from
Here is a simple scoring system we can use CollegeFootballNews.com as our source LINK
2 points for 2nd team Freshman All American
4 points for 1st team Freshman All American
4 points for 2nd team All conference
6 points for 1st team All conference
8 points for 3rd team All American
10 points for 2nd team All American
15 points for 1st team All American
15 points for a National Award
20 points for Heisman
16 points for top 10 draft pick
14 for 1st round not top 10
12 for 2nd round
10 for 3rd round
8 for 4th round
6 for 5th round
4 for 6th round
2 for 7th round
20 points for NFL offense or defense Rookie of the year
feedback anyone
I am not a big fav on giving points to a Heisman winner. That award is a sham and is only given to a QB or a RB from a major college (Te'o even being mentioned this year was fricking laughable).
The funny thing is, I remember seeing Manziel during that draft. I thought his film looked really good. That was until I saw his picture. I remember saying to myself that he looked like a crack head and I didn't want to take a chance on him.
Is it to late for me to back out?
Draft Order Has Been Drawn. See the results in the OP. Game on!

Back in 2003, I stated here on RTF that I was all for securing Iraq's WMD but, that I was against Nation Building. I didn't think we could change anyone in the mid-east, that they like living as sheep under the thumb of dictators.
How do you see what we've done in Iraq in realtionship to the numerouse revolutions happening in the middle east? Are the other countries in the area looking at Iraq and saying, we want freedom too?
If so, then I think we need to give Pres Bush his due for having the foresight of bring some type of Democracy to a region known for thier tribal mindset.

Death Magnetic barely redeemed them after St. Anger. Barely. The songs from St. Anger are okay taken by themselves, but it's a huge chore to listen to the album.
On the one hand, it wouldn't surprise me to know Hetfield used an autotuner (I haven't noticed, but will check it out). On the other hand, wasn't this album produced by Rick Rubin? That's not been his style for a while... but, then again, he did start out with hip hop, so it wouldn't be a huge surprise on that front, either.

Use ricotta and Parmesan cheeses to give twice-baked potatoes an Italian twist.
The stuffed potatoes can be covered and refrigerated before baking; increase the baking time to 30 minutes. Or wrap airtight and freeze; bake about 40 minutes.
If doubling the recipe, you can easily bake 12 potatoes at once, but prepare the filling for 6 potatoes at a time so that you can thoroughly blend the ingredients.

Dairy Bush GigaPan - 113 - October 26 2011
Year 3 - Week 09 - 360 ̊
Another cool, rainy, wet fall week. One field Malaise trap appears to have been stolen this week (?) while the others survived the rain. The canopy gets more and more spars. Cloudy, rainy and cool this morning. Really a blustery fall day. 7 C with 100% relative humidity. A very dark morning - and unfortunately, I ended up over exposing the first 2/3rds of the pano while I was checking traps.

Height: 5'11"
Weight: 195
Whether it was an interception, fumble return for a score, or breaking up passes, he consistently made game changing plays for his team. Doesn't have the blazing speed that will make him a 1st round pick in 2014, but plays with outstanding technique and maximizes his ability. Peformed well against a lot of top competition. Intercepted 7 passes for 152 yards as a Junior and returned one of 'em for a touchdown. Solid all around cornerback.

This is what open source gives to us. That's why we should forget about it and talk only about software livre.

The Office of Performance and Accountability (OPA) promotes better City services through data-driven management decision-making and accountability for delivering results to citizens.
In March, 2016, OPA published the 2015 end of year report on Results.nola.gov, a new interactive website that aims to make ResultsNOLA easier to access for residents.
In 2010-2012, the City developed a strategic framework to map the City's overall direction. The City uses the strategic framework in the City's Budgeting for Outcomes process, where funding is allocated to programs and services that contribute to the accomplishment of the City's goals.
Throughout the year, the OPA uses performance measures to track progress towards the goals in the strategic framework, and reports results to the Mayor and other senior City leaders, department managers, staff, the City Council, and citizens. Performance results are shared publically in quarterly ResultsNOLA performance reports. Key initiatives are further tracked in monthly STAT, or data-driven performance review, meetings.
In order to improve results, the OPA and City leaders and managers review performance data to understand what's working, what's not, and to identify solutions for improvement, which may include making changes to strategies, programs, or the allocation of funds.

Been a LONG time since my last entry. Seems I take on more and more things that I really have no time for.
My wife and I are looking at a new vehicle. For the entire 5 years we have been married we have suffered with a 87 Pontiac and an 86 Cadillac Eldorado. Now that we have some extra cash we are looking at a Dodge Durango to fit out family needs (one kid, and one on the way).
Work is coming along great. The LDAP server is up and running with relevant data seeded. I've also been given the task of testing ieee1394 on Linux. This meant a lot of porting since my main system is actually an UltraSPARC. Also get to test a CardBus card. Both seem to be working ok now. I just need actual devices to attach to the chains in order to test the data transfers. I'm looking forward to ether1394 testing.
The Debian UltraSPARC/SPARC port is nearing completion for potato. Only thing left to do is burn CD's and complete our current test cycle. After that I can finally go full swing with the binary-sparc64 port.
Well, that's all for this month :)

Wow, it's been a long time since I wrote anything. Somehow
my certifcation expired :)
Been working primarily on school. I've been so busy. I will probably be finishing up my degree in the fall. who knows what happens after that in todays economy. when I interned last year at HP my managers wanted me to come back after I graduated, but one of them no longer works there (job cuts) and they probably wouldn't hire me anyway now.
Tux4kids has started going again, and I'm happy for that. Sam's back and as firey as ever (we presently are disagreeing on an issue about whether there should be agroup that decides if a tux4kids project is ready to have a major release or not. I'm glad Sam's back, he and I always have such great debates (i repspect the guy to death, but we almost never see eye to eye on things like this).
Oh, and apparently Tux4Kids needs some money for for it's web-hosting! Dig deep friends, dig deep.

The Government is Using Drones to Manipulate the Weather in America
The United States government is modifying the weather using cloud seeding and drones in several spots across America.
Weather modification also known as Geo-engineering, cloud seeding and chemtrails have been ridiculed by experts as a conspiracy. Until recently, solid evidence of weather modification has been kept under lock & key.
We now have access to historical government documents that suggest weather modification has been going on since 1946, authored by Homer E. Newel, Associate Administrator for Space Science and Applications, National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
Now, according to AccuWeather, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has hand picked six test sites throughout the United States in December 2013 to experiment with drone-based cloud seeding.
One location chosen was the Desert Research Institute (DRI) in Reno, Nevada, where rampant drought plagues the arid desert.
Jeff Tilley, the Director of Weather Modification Activities at DRI, explained to AccuWeather why current cloud seeding methods need to be updated:
"You can very quickly go through a budget for a year's supply of fuel during one storm if you're not careful…Fuel is expensive, pilots are expensive, and often in a storm you have to go up and down multiple trips…The potential market for the [drone] technology is substantially bigger than the current cloud seeding operational community…From the state perspective, there's the potential to capture a percentage of a $90 billion revenue-producing industry."
Suggesting using planes or jets to control the weather is expensive.
Some people are still skeptics. "It's hard to prove if it works or not because we don't know what would happen if we hadn't seeded," said AccuWeather.com Meteorologist Jesse Ferrell.
'Cloud seeding' is the process of changing the amount or type of precipitation that falls out of clouds or the structure of clouds by using certain chemicals dispersed in different ways.
The most common chemicals used for cloud seeding include silver iodide and dry ice (frozen carbon dioxide). These chemicals may be dispersed by aircraft or by dispersion devices located on the ground.
The state of California had 13 cloud seeding programs during the 2002-03 season (locations pictured below). A 2005 report from the California Department of Water Resources estimated the cost to fund the precipitation enhancement program would be $177 million through 2030.

Reality Check: Attack Ads In Supreme Court Race
Cases Before Ziegler At Issue In Ads
MADISON, Wis. - With the spring election nearing, political ads in the race for Wisconsin's Supreme Court have launched sharper attacks.
VIDEO: Watch The Report
WISC-TV political reporter Colin Benedict put two recent ads through a "Reality Check."
At issue in the ads are cases in front of Washington County Judge Annette Ziegler. Ziegler and her opponent attorney Linda Clifford have very different views on how Ziegler conducted herself.
An ad for Clifford begins: "Newspapers have broken the story. A scandal involving Judge Annette Ziegler's conflicts of interest."
Meanwhile, a recent Ziegler ad begins with: "The choice is as clear as night and day. Linda Clifford's charges aren't true. There is no scandal."
Clifford launched the first ad, playing off of media reports.
"Ziegler broke the rules and failed to remove herself from 46 cases involving her family's banking connections," said the Clifford ad.
A WISC-TV analysis found that this claim "needs clarification."
The cases in question involve West Bend Savings Bank and are mostly small claims.
Ziegler's husband, J.J. Ziegler, is on the board of directors. Annette Ziegler did fail to disclose or recuse herself from dozens of cases involving West Bend Savings Bank, an apparent violation of state judicial rules.
It's worth noting, however, that so far no one has sanctioned Ziegler for her conduct. But a formal complaint is currently before the Wisconsin Judicial Commission.
Ziegler said her husband's position didn't effect her judgment, and she further defends herself in her own TV ad.
"Judge Ziegler's family has never benefited from any case," the ad says.
WISC-TV found that claim "needs clarification."
Ziegler's husband is a paid member of the Board of West Bend Savings, but it is a mutual bank, meaning that deposit holders own the company.
Ziegler's campaign spokesman told the Wisconsin State Journal that J.J. Zeigler's salary isn't tied to bank performance.
Both candidate ads then move on to Clifford's qualifications. Ziegler makes it clear that Clifford isn't a judge.
Ziegler's ad says: "Linda Clifford, not one day as a judge. Judge Ziegler, a former prosecutor, is endorsed by a majority of sheriffs and district attorneys. Linda Clifford has never been a criminal prosecutor."
It's "true" that Clifford has never been a judge nor a criminal prosecutor. But she has prosecuted civil cases as an assistant attorney general, which she notes in her ad.
"Thirty years of legal experience. Linda is the only candidate that has argued a case in front of the Supreme Court," the Clifford ad says.
WISC-TV also found that claim to be "true."

Resist the futile!
Bah. That should read, "I don't intend to imply that there is necessarily NO underlying physical cause;"
Yes, we have a preview button. Yes, I usually pay attention to it. This is why.
I read your exchange below, and I'm still not sure that I understand what you are getting at with this comment. I can say that I don't intend to imply that there is necessarily underlying physical cause; I'm only stating (and incidentally at that) that the symptoms for mental diseases are behavioral whereas the symptoms for physical diseases are, well, physical: manifesting in the internal operations of the body rather than what we generally consider to be voluntary action. I do believe that certain mental diseases (like BPD) are often rooted in experience: when people are pushed past their breaking point, especially in early childhood, something happens to their interpretation of the way the world works. On some level, everything comes back to the physical, but the mental life is a useful abstraction.
I agree that a lack of physical causes should not be automatically assumed, and there is good evidence for things like clinical depression in some people being the result of an underlying physical/electrochemical imbalance. This however is not related to the point of my comment, and while I can appreciate a note of caution as an addendum I don't understand the tone you have taken. My point can be taken for physical diseases as well, though it's harder not to abstract "red itchy spots that just appeared yesterday" as something apart from an individual than it is to view in the same way something like "disorganized speech (e.g., frequent derailment or incoherence)," especially if the latter has been ongoing for years.
Personally, I think we should do the opposite of what you're suggesting: abandon the word "disease" for all mental differences. Stop trying to draw artificial distinctions. Stop trying to pigeonhole. Approach each one - and each person - as an individual.
When you do that, you lose most of the advantages of Western medicine--and Eastern medicine, for that matter.
A mental disease is essentially a behavior pattern. Of course each person is an individual, but certain behavior patterns routinely present themselves, and by classifying them together we gain the power of abstraction: what heals or reduces the impact of a behavior pattern (disease) for one person might work for some others; what works for twenty or a hundred people will likely work for many more. Without being able to separately classify some behavior patterns apart from the individual who exhibits them, we're stuck with a lot more trial and error. I question if it's even possible for someone to treat people who have mental diseases without, through simple process of observation, finding himself classifying behavior and responding accordingly.
Here is an illustration of how classifying mental diseases can be helpful. I dated a girl who told me she suffered from depression. And that appeared evident to me as well. She also did other things too, though. I found that when we were on good terms, I was her favorite person in the world. But if I did one thing that she didn't like, something as simple as already having plans with friends when she wanted to get together, or a comment that she took the wrong way, I was instantly on her shitlist and would remain there for a day or two. There was no in-between. She felt this way about everybody. She was very manipulative, and she'd frequently fly into hysterical rages where she couldn't be reasoned with and the only "solution" was to ignore her for a day or two.
After I broke up with her, I stumbled across a description of Borderline Personality Disorder, and it described her behavior perfectly. I told her as much, and she looked it up and agreed. She went to do a depression study, part of which involved getting an analysis of conditions, and sure enough they told her she had both depression and BPD. Since she now knows what her behavior is classified as, she also has found strategies to help her cope with it. I've spoken with her a few times since then, and I can tell that there is a difference in her, and it's a pretty drastic change for having begun only a year ago.
Without the classification, she would have lived the rest of her life being as miserable and unable to connect with other people as she had been up until then. Once the classification is there, you can call it a disease or a disorder or a condition or whatever you like, it allows us to say "We've seen this before, and here are some things to try that helped other people." The term "disease" has connotations that perhaps it shouldn't, and I don't care much about semantics so I'm not attached to any word in particular, but refusing to classify things is throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
You can't just take a paragraph at random from the article and throw it up onto the screen. I mean, you can, but it's not useful. Having read the article it's an interesting experiment, but the summary gives me no information about the other important piece: when the number of chips to avert disaster is set at 150 and known, the players cooperate; while when that number is unknown except for "between 100 and 200" everybody skimps on contributions and loses 15 euros plus whatever they contributed.
On the other hand, the summary could just be missing the last sentence, "And that's how I became the prince of Fresh Air."
The tone is the tone, however it is created, and the tone should always serve the song. I often find myself turning to my acoustic guitar for inspiration because there is something about the instant, expressive playability of acoustic instruments that, for me at least, engenders the best kind of creativity. Still, the goal should be to find and use whatever serves the song. I have more electronic compositions than acoustic, and the good ones are just as good.
Imogen Heap's Hide and Seek, for example, gains its power from her raw versatile voice singing atop a chorus that is electronically generated by a harmonizer, making for a highly artificial sound-bed that nonetheless retains the expressiveness she puts into her vocalizing. You wouldn't get the same kind of intimate power through an unaided a capella performance, nor would it be present if she were backed by an orchestra or by acoustic instruments. On the flipside, a piece like Steve Reich's Music for 18 Musicians is just boring as all get-out when it's composed electronically--everything is metered out and tightly controlled and sterile. When it's performed as written, by eighteen (or thereabouts) people banging on or blowing into things, it has an incredible sonic depth to it. (Here is a link, but be warned that it is an hour long and highly unconventional piece of music.)
There is a tendency to compare music with the visual arts which is often unhelpful, but there are undeniable parallels. I think the appropriate one here is that good visual art is good visual art regardless of whether the artist used oil, acrylic, pencil, watercolor, collage, or some mix of them. The final result is what is important.
Was that sarcasm or irony? I always get the two confused.
If you're from another country, or an American who slept during civics class (seems like many did)...
You may realize this, given your statement about the power of the president versus state governors, but a lot of us weren't sleeping through civics class. Lots of us didn't even have a civics class, only a "Social Studies" curriculum in which the reasons for having an electoral college were mentioned briefly, almost as an aside.
I personally believe this is by design, but I'm a conspiracy nut.
What's needed is to reform the voting system so third party votes are meaningful.
...which will never, ever happen as long as the two major parties maintain control, because it's not in their best interest.
Kind of a nice catch-22 they have set up, isn't it?
Dammit! I had successfully stayed away from Bash for quite a while. Now I lost two hours thanks to your link.
In other news, I also just lost the game.
...that make me realize I may not really belong here.
I think Stephenson takes an eternal and unjust beating about his endings. His books end when the major conflicts are in a position to be resolved by a thinking reader. There's no "and they lived happily ever after," but there is always a sense that all of the key pieces are in the right place and the outcome is decided in that the people we want to come out on top will come out on top. Chess is a very apt metaphor, in my mind: when he stops writing, you know that the Bad Guys are outmaneuvered and trapped in a corner. Does he really need, considering that he tends to be free with his words as it is, to write another thirty pages in order to gift-wrap a final outcome that is already easily imagined by an engaged reader?
Don't get me wrong; I appreciate books that have those kinds of endings. But Stephenson is more concerned with the interesting conflicts, the multiple disparate threads that weave and tangle with each other. When the massive knot becomes a loose collection of simply-twisted loops, he loses interest. I don't find that to be a fatal flaw at all, and I respect that he wants to devote all of his energy to the engaging events leading up to the point where a resolution is inevitable instead of spending a lot of time on the resolution itself.
Take The Diamond Age, for instance, the ending of which a sibling comment laments. (Spoilers follow.) We end with Nell essentially leading an army of girls who are ready to take on the status quo, and with the decentralized Seed in a position to overtake the top-down economics of the Feed. The implication is that these two things, both on their own and taken together, are forces that can and will reshape the world they inhabit. To me, in a way, it's like politics: as soon as you start to get into the details of the resolution, you're going to alienate people who think it should have taken a different path.
MacRumors also thinks it highly likely that a new iMac will be unveiled at the same time. I hope so, because my 2007 MacBook Pro is getting long in the tooth, and while it serves most of my mobile computing needs it just can't keep up with my music recording software of choice. I'm confident that the curent-gen iMacs will, and if a new model is released, I'll be able to snag the newly-outdated one at a healthy discount.
I like the hardware and the OS, and I don't mind paying a bit of a premium for it. I also don't need the cutting-edge, and since my "mobile" setup already involves an audio box that requires power and a desk to sit on, I don't mind the sacrifice of full mobility. Here's hoping.
You seem to know what you're talking about. I'm just an armchair muckraker, so I'll defer to your numbers. I'm curious to hear your response to this question: why is it that places like Marcellus are only being drilled now? If we've had the technology to do it for so long, why didn't we start drilling there during the Reagan push for energy independence, for example?
The argument from the anti-shale-drilling folks, the ones I tend to be more sympathetic towards, is that there have been new developments "that unlocks gas that was previously not considered recoverable". I pulled that from a rebuttal to the rebuttal of Gasland by the film's creators. A lengthier quote from the same document reads,
On Chesapeake Energy's Hydraulic Fracturing "fact" site, this contradiction is evident: "Hydraulic
fracturing, commonly referred to as fracing, is a proven technological advancement which allows
natural gas producers to safely recover natural gas from deep shale formations. This discovery has
the potential to.... [emphasis added]." Later in the same passage we get the same refrain: "Hydraulic
fracturing has been used by the oil and gas industry since the 1940s..."
Since you seem to have substantially more knowledge of the industry than I do, I'd like to hear your take on that. The whole document is an interesting read, and one that seems pretty convincing to me, but again, I am very much a layman when it comes to this stuff. In any case, I appreciate your previous informed responses. I suspect that I will remain biased against shale drilling, but I do my damnedest to remain open to new information.
I came here to suggest exactly the same game.
In addition to tracking the order of execution, the game requires you to be aware of your environment: there are board elements such as conveyor belts that always execute just after each player instruction, and failing to take them into account will make the rest of your instruction set (five instructions per turn) detrimental or even suicidal.
As far as programming goes, it's a very simplistic model. Keep in mind though that just because your nephew likes math does not mean he will like programming. I think Robo Rally is a good way to see if he's interested in the dynamic aspect of creating a system that does what you want before giving him a more substantial primer on programming. Plus, it's just a damn fun game in its own right, even for a bunch of 30-somethings!

Family: Charadriidae, Plovers view all from this family
Description ADULT Has mainly brown upperparts and white underparts, but note the two black breast bands (upper one continues as a narrow collar) and striking black and white markings on face (black forecrown, and white forehead and supercilium). Bill is slender and dark, and legs are pale. Tail darkens toward tip, but note the terminal white margin. JUVENILE Similar to adult, but black elements of plumage are brown or dark brown and initially, for brief period, it has just one breast band.
Dimensions Length: 9-11" (23-28 cm)
Habitat Common and widespread in summer across much of the region south of the Arctic, favoring short grassy areas, including urban sites, such as roadside verges, golf courses, parks, and playing fields. Migrates south in fall and winters in southern half of region. Seen in the vicinity of water far less frequently than most shorebird family members.
Observation Tips Easy to see and identify.
Range California, Northwest, Plains, Rocky Mountains, Great Lakes, Texas, Southwest, Mid-Atlantic, New England, Florida, Western Canada, Alaska, Southeast, Eastern Canada
Voice Utters a shrill, piping kiu-dee or tee-dee-dee.
Discussion Boldly marked, long-legged, and noisy plover. The two black breast bands are striking and diagnostic. Long wings and tail give standing bird a more elongated appearance. Feeds in characteristic plover manner: runs at speed for short distances, then pauses to pick invertebrate prey from ground. In flight, its long wings with a bold white wing stripe, and long, wedge-shaped tail with an orange rump are striking features. Sexes are similar.

Designer Tidbits: Lori Whitlock
The Fat Quarter Shop is excited to welcome Lori Whitlock to the Jolly Jabber. Lori's latest fabric collection and one of my absolute favorite collection of 2012 is Vintage Baby from Riley Blake Designs.
Q: What or who would you dedicate this collection to?
A: I would like to dedicate my Vintage Baby collection to my two daughters. I have loved every single minute of their childhood. This collection reminds me of all the sweet memories we've made. I'd also like to dedicate this collection to my mother for teaching me to sew and teaching me to reach for the stars.
Q: What is your favorite project using this collection?
A: I love this darling "Emma Jane Doll" that I designed to go along with the fabric. She was inspired by a little doll my grandmother made for me when I was a child. In the fabric you'll notice a little vintage baby doll. I thought it was totally necessary and appropriate to design a real baby doll to go along with the fabric. I think she's adorable and certainly one any little girl will fall in love with and cherish forever. The pattern will be available within the month. Watch for news regarding its availability at www.loriwhitlock.com.
Q: If time travel became possible, what year would you want to be in?
A: I think I'd stay right where I'm at. I love my family so much that I wouldn't want to change a thing. If I went into the future I'd miss my children growing up. And, I certainly wouldn't want to go back before they were born. However, if you had a fountain of youth, I'd jump right in!
Q: What was your favorite childhood TV show?
A: I loved to watch old re-runs of "I Love Lucy" and "The Three Stooges" (I know... I'm an anomaly!). I also remember loving Sesame Street and Scooby Doo and Captain Kangaroo. Boy, does this make me sound OLD or what??
Q: Who is the most famous person you have ever met?
A: I work with Becky Higgins. I guess I'd say she's the most famous person I currently work with.
Q: What is your favorite App to play on your phone?
A: Right now, I like Hey Tell. Hey Tell is like texting, but I don't have to type. It saves me so much time. I also love Pandora. Pandora keeps the tunes flowing which keeps the creativity turned on. Oh, and I can't forget the Pinterest App! What exactly did we do without that just a little while back?
Q: If you could marry a technology, what would it be?
A: Hands down… I'd definitely marry my Mac. When I was about 7 my father purchased one of the first Apple Computers and I've been hooked ever since. I have quite a crush on my computer. (Shh… Don't tell my hubby! Oh who am I kidding… He already knows!)

Timeshare Promotions and Travel Packages for Europe
So you are planning on taking a good long break from school or work whether with your friends or your family, to visit a few countries in Europe. While it ís a great feeling to think about your upcoming holiday and how much fun you will have, you would need to keep in mind that thereís a lot of planning that you would have to do and a lot you need to start thinking about at least 2 months before you leave on your holiday. To get of to a good start and save money try timeshare presentations to get great discount offers.
To find the perfect Europe travel package you would need to visit your local travel agent. Conversely, you could also check out such Europe travel packages online, but only look it up from reputed websites as you do not want to get caught to any scams. You should also have a rough idea of which countries in Europe you wish to travel to, as different packages cover different combinations. The visas you would require too would differ based on which countries you want to visit, so you would need to get this aspect sorted out at the very beginning. While some Europe travel packages do include certain countries, it would not always take you sight-seeing to all the places you want to go to. You could discuss this with your agent after going through your travel itinerary.
We all know how hard it is to book seats on a flight or even on a bus just a few days before we travel. This means that you would need to do so well in advance to avoid disappointment, especially if you wish to travel at a time when its holiday season. This would depend on whether your Europe travel packages include tickets to the different countries or whether you need to book them yourself. The latter would be the case if your Europe travel packages start only after you land in a particular country.
The same would apply to hotels. Some of the best deals are found by touring timeshare presentations. Make sure that you compare the prices of the hotels that you would like to stay at, if your Europe travel packages doesnít include lodging. You should also read customer reviews and check out the amenities they provide before you decide on the right hotel. It is best however that you look for Europe travel packages that also cover lodging as you may not be able to find a good place if you havenít been to some of these countries before. Most Europe travel packages have good rates on rooms with meals or even only bed-and-breakfast options. Whether you are traveling with family or are on your honeymoon, you can also find a good hotel in one of the many Europe travel packages with special discounts by checking out timeshare promotions.

Yasuhiro Kido in Exhibition Bout at MA-KICK BREAK.9
- Written by Dave Walsh
Yasuhiro Kido has had a really strange run of bad luck. Most of the Japanese 70kgs fighters that K-1 has brought up in hopes of becoming the next Masato have had this bad luck. Think about it; Yuya Yamamoto imploded against hard competition, Yoshihiro Sato has had mild success, but can never piece things together, Taishin Kohiruimaki is now retired due to injury and the list could probably go on. The truth is, living up to the high standards set by Masato is impossible. I know lots of people have only seen Masato's fights and don't get what there is to live up to outside of being a champion kickboxer. Masato had the talent, charisma and good looks that every fight promoter dreams of. His television appearances popped gigantic ratings, film directors wanted Masato to cameo in their films so they could put him on the promotional materials.
Enter Yasuhiro Kido. Kido tore up the scene from 2003 until 2007 when K-1 decided to call him up from RISE and MAJKF/MA-Kick (whatever you feel like calling it today). His first year of 2008 showed promise, where he won the World MAX Japan tournament and made it to the Final 8. Then came the 4-loss streak, followed by two wins in 2009 and another loss streak, 3, in K-1. Kido was returning to his roots this weekend, participating in MA-Kick's BREAK-9 event at Shinjuku-FACE (think tiny bingo hall). Kido was taking place in a Super Middleweight tournament when his opponent dropped out due to injury, so Kido took on Tiger Hiroshi in an exhibition bout.
So Kido will have to fight another day, at least he got to show off and promote his blog.

NEW YORK (MYFOXNY) - The publication by The Journal News of the names and addresses of gun owners with pistol permits in Westchester County has prompted a New York state senator to suggest legislation to counter it. Greg Ball wants to make that information available only to law enforcement agencies.
St. Sen. Greg Ball (R- Brewster) says, "The asinine editors at the Journal News, have once again gone out of their way to place a virtual scarlet letter on law abiding firearm owners throughout the region."
Ball says the paper is treating law abiding citizens like sexual predators.
"This is clearly a violation of privacy, and needs to be corrected immediately," Ball says.
There is now a counter blog set up. It lists the home addresses and photos of employees of the Gannett-owned newspaper.
Christopher Fountain, who primarily covers real estate news on, For What It's Worth, published the names on Wednesday.
Even some anti-gun residents in Westchester were troubled by the Journal News making public the gun owners' home addresses.
Fox 5 News went to the Journal News' headquarters in White Plains and asked for an interview. A representative would only tell us off camera that the paper would not give an on-camera interview.
The publisher, Janet Hasson, did e-mail a statement, saying: "Frequently, the work of journalists is not popular. One of our roles is to report publicly available information on timely issues, even when unpopular. We knew publication of the database (as well as the accompanying article providing context) would be controversial, but we felt sharing information about gun permits in our area was important in the aftermath of the Newtown shootings.
The 1,800-word story headlined, "The gun owner next door: What you don't know about the weapons in your neighborhood," said the information was sought after the Dec. 14 school shooting in Newtown, Conn., about 50 miles northeast of the paper's headquarters in White Plains. A gunman killed his mother, drove to an elementary school and massacred 20 first-graders and six adults, then shot himself. All the weapons used were legally owned by his mother.
The Journal News story includes comments from both sides of the gun-rights debate and presents the data as answering concerns of those who would like to know whether there are guns in their neighborhood. It reports that about 44,000 people in Westchester, Putnam and Rockland counties are licensed to own a handgun, and that rifles and shotguns can be purchased without a permit.
It was accompanied online by maps of the results for Westchester and Rockland counties; similar details had not yet been provided by Putnam County. A reader clicking on the maps can see the name and address of each pistol or revolver permit holder. Accompanying text states that inclusion does not necessarily mean that an individual owns a weapon, just who obtained a license.

A great story comes to life in "42," a movie celebrating Jackie Robinson's breaking of the baseball color barrier in 1947.
Chadwick Boseman plays Robinson, a cocky player in the Negro leagues who clearly loves the game.
Branch Rickey (Harrison Ford) runs the Brooklyn Dodgers, and he's decided it's time for a black player to join Major League Baseball.
There's a powerful scene early in the film when Rickey tells Robinson that he has to be strong enough to not fight back. That scene resonates throughout the movie, as Robinson endures verbal abuse and threats both on and off the field.
History records that Robinson was ultimately successful, so there's no suspense there. The questions surround No. 42's teammates and opponents, as well as fans in the stands. Are they going to come around? If so, when?
For long stretches of the story it seems as though Robinson's only allies are his wife (Nicole Beharie), a black sports writer (Andre Holland) and Rickey.
But that's not exactly true because African-American fans are there to cheer him on and balance out the hateful jeers from white faces in the crowd.
The movie shows Robinson's courage under fire, and gives the audience a glimpse of how the swirling tornado of attention affects him.
There are times when the movie slows to a crawl, but even these two or three scenes play against the compelling backdrop that is Robinson's story.
I found the film deeply moving at times, when on-screen emotion scored direct hits in the real world. Something as simple as a black player tossing a ball to a black kid packs a wallop.
With cracks of the bat and dirt on home plate, baseball has a starring role in "42." The movie puts computer-generated effects to good use to recreate old-time stadiums, including Ebbets Field in Brooklyn.
This is a good movie and a great story. I give "42" an A.
It's showing at the Cinemark in Tupelo, as well as Malcos in Oxford, Corinth and Columbus, Hollywood Premier Cinemas in Starkville, and Movie Reel 4 in New Albany.
Wizard review
Kelli Karlson with Wizard 106.7 gives "42" an A.
"I love a movie that makes me cry, and this one made me squall."
Look for movie reviews in Scene on Thursdays, and listen each Tuesday morning on Wizard 106.7 between 8:30 and 8:45 a.m.

Michael Graves Butter Dish
Alessi is a family owned Italian design company, founded in 1921. Giovanni Alessi, a talented sheet metal worker, produced items by hand for the table and home out of copper, brass and nickel-silver. He was later joined by his son Carlo who was responsible for many of the designs produced in the 1930s and early 1940s. In the mid 1940s Alessi began to work with outside designers. The current Alessi catalog is the result of a collaboration with over 500 designers from all over the world.
"A true work of design must be able to move people, to convey feelings, to trigger memories, to surprise, to go against the grain. From this point of view, design intended to conjure up images in people's minds, which makes them a bit happier, still has tremendous potential." --Alberto Alessi
Michael Graves was an American architect, designer, and one of the principal figures in the Postmodernist movement. Born in Indianapolis, he began teaching architecture at Princeton in 1962. Identified as one of The New York Five, as well as the Memphis Group, Graves was known first for his contemporary building designs and some prominent public commissions that became iconic examples of Postmodern architecture. His powerful and energetic architectural works include the Portland Building, the Humana Building, the expansion of the Detroit Institute of Arts, and the Newark Museum. In the 1980's Graves designed a series of playful household items for the Italian design company Alessi. The series included his best-selling and iconic kettle, 9093 Bird Kettle which expanded his recognition beyond architecture. In 2001 Graves was awarded the American Institute of Architects Gold Medal (AIA) for lifetime achievement.View other products by Michael Graves

List of supplies (equipment), I will be getting, is it enough?
Ok, so here is the list of stuff I plan on getting:
Power Head
Is that alll I need or is there more, please post your suggestions!
(I already have bubblers)
The size of your tank will have an effect on whether your filter is big enough, remember always get a filter which is 2x your tank volume. Also the lighting that suits the tank best will depend on your planting arrangements as some require larger amounts of light.My therapist says I need a bigger tank . . . . .

It is a 30 gallon tank :) I am just wondering if I missed any needed equipment that I am not aware of Say that I forgot a heater, you would be "you need a heater" I would appreciate you telling me if I missed anything!
Any answer that I would give you would be based on how I like to set-up a reef tank. There are many different ways to set-up and keep a great reef tank. Each method is a little different and better suited for some types of coral and your experience level.
The types of corals that you want would also influence any recommendations that I would make. For example, if you just want softies or SPS could require a different approach to your set-up
Regardless of what you want to keep, I have heard a lot of negative things about the lighting you have listed for a reef tank. I would personally look into a better quality LED fixture or T5HO
I would also recommend a skimmer. The type of skimmer would depend on if you want a sump or not. You did not list any live rock either. That would be a important part of a reef tank
Have you found the below thread yet ? I will help you figure out what you might need for equipment
Last edited by Cliff; 03-06-2012 at 05:46 PM.If you take your time to do the research FIRST, you can successfully set-up and keep ANY type of aquarium with ease.

+1 to Cliffs post. What kind of saltwater tank you are going to keep also influences what you need to get. You posted under reef so we have to assume you are getting corals; if you are getting corals, then you will need rock for them to grow on. Live rock acts as your filter, so a filter is not really necessary.
Bubblers are not usually used in reef tanks. Saltwater makes a messy splashback, the salt will be crusting everything where the surface is bubbling. I don't recommend it.
How much equipment you get depends on how much of a gizmo addict you are and what kind of tank you are going to keep. You could and should get a bunch more stuff - skimmer, timer, more powerheads, thermometer, saltwater test kits, a decent hydrometer, good salt mix...and then there's handy things like an automatic top off and reactors/dosers that make life much easier...you'll need to consider where you're getting your water from, as you'll want at least RO water unless your own water is pristine...
I would read the link that Cliff posted, and all the stickies under the Saltwater forum, and look at a few tank journals. Then you'll have an idea of what kind if marine tank you want, and THAT will lead you to what equipment you should have.20gal long planted community
Not sure if you meant to post this somewhere in the FW section or not
Regardless if you meant to post here in SW you have some HW to do and some more info to give us in order for us to have a better understanding. The thread Cliff linked you should definitely read as well as everything else you can get your hands on.
A couple words of caution if you do plan on starting to get into SW
1st it's EXPENSIVE!! It's do-able on a budget but you have to know where you can save a buck and where you should just spend the cash.
2nd You need to do your hw to prepare for the experience. The more you read the better you'll be, we're hear to answer questions and don't be afraid to ask but you should know the basics (ie. live rock, how to cycle, basic flow of a typical reef tank dt to the sump, and some functions of flow and lighting)
3rd SW is a blast!!! We all love our tanks but you have to follow the other two pointers or you'll be at risk to have a tank crash and that's a miserable experience that I wouldn't wish on anybody
Do your homework and find out if it's something you have the budget to pursue and the passion to pursue.
Best of luck!!55g Long --> After 18mo of doing well the tank crashed during moving. Most likely cause: Flatworm Die-off... won't start another until after moving... Likely not until late 2013
20g Long --> currently concoting a build plan
Check out the journal to follow my 20g SW tank
"Take a chance, because you never know how perfect some things can turn out" -- unknown
If funds are limited in any way at all then do not even consider a reef. A fowler can be done on a shoestring but not a reef.
What you are looking at spending in order to have a 30 gallon reef, you could probably have a 75-100 gallon freshwater.
^^^ might be the better way to go if you're tight on funds... however if you're not follow the advice given in the earlier posts55g Long --> After 18mo of doing well the tank crashed during moving. Most likely cause: Flatworm Die-off... won't start another until after moving... Likely not until late 2013
20g Long --> currently concoting a build plan
Check out the journal to follow my 20g SW tank
"Take a chance, because you never know how perfect some things can turn out" -- unknown
I agree with all the folks who posted before I did. Yes, SW is an expensive start, but if you patient, it can be done for very little money compared to starting with live rock. Also, 30G is not a very large tank to start with. You can start this with just quarried rock, power heads, pure ammonia and Nitrafying bacteria. It will take a month or so to cycle with no fish, but the cost is minimal and it is a great way to learn and get into the habit of water testing. I recently did so with no live rock for my 24G cube with fantastic results.
This tank has been running roughly 4 months or so. All is growing nicely and spreading on it's own. it is a stable enviroment and my inhabitants seem very content and stress free...
The most important thing is: Read the sticky's!!! It's how I started back into this after a long time away from this hobby and ask questions! Plenty of good folks here will answer your questions correctly if given all pertanent information like Light output, water parameters, introduction of new things to the enviroment etc.
Good luck!!Life is tough, it's even tougher if you're stupid (John Wayne)

Don't think of operant conditioning as a "training method" or something we "do to the dog".
Think of it like gravity. It just is. It's a phenomenon ... a law of nature that exists in the environment and is a reason we learn to do or not do something.
A dog in the wild will learn to "operate" his environment to fulfill his needs, in accordance with the consequences of his actions. When we take that dog in and train him, all we do is control the consequences.

Pacific Crest's Jesse Hulsing today reiterates an Outperform rating on shares of enterprise software vendor Qlik Technologies (QLIK) and Tibco (TIBX), and a Sector Perform rating on shares of Tableau Software (DATA), based on "checks" with software resellers that show continued strength in demand for so-called "next-generation business intelligence" software.
Tableau and Qlik are taking business from traditional analytics and visualization software vendors such as SAP AG (SAP) and International Business Machines (IBM), he writes, but Tibco has the most room to improve results in the near term:
Partners noted particular strength in existing customers (a multiquarter trend); expansions more commonly encroaching on incumbent (SAP, IBM, MSTR) BI/reporting use cases; opens up wallet share and could drive M&A 3 QlikView.next product transition a focus area for partners, but too early to have positive or negative impact; expect more details over next month. We expect market momentum to carry through the 2H into 2014: Best LT pick = QLIK; prod. transition carries some risk (likely in 1H14), but we think .next will be a meaningful MT positive and help cement QLIK as multiyear market leader; see upside to $40+; Most NT upside = TIBX; improving execution, conservative ests, and easy comparisons should help drive est upside; upside to low $30s (25x F2014 bull case of $1.25); DATA likely to have meaningful upside to ests, but valuation bakes in much of our bull case.

But then what?
GWT is still around and developed, but they've moved on to the next big thing, i.e., dart.
280 North, the Cappuccino developers, was bought up by Motorola a year ago for $20 million.
Strobe, the primary developers of SproutCore, were bought up by Facebook a couple weeks ago.
Since these projects are all under Free (MIT, Apache, and LGPL) licenses, they won't disappear (in fact, they're still receiving minor updates). But when their primary (or only) developers get bored or cash out, it's safe to say they'll soon stagnate, which is a shame, really.

What is a Community College?
A comprehensive resource for training and education
A "community college" generally refers to a two-year institution of higher education that offers different levels of instruction adapted to fit the needs of the community. Community colleges are characterized by open, equitable admissions (anyone can attend), a community-based philosophy, lower tuition and a quality education. These institutions provide students with a wide range of educational programs, including:
- Two-year degrees (Associate degrees)
- Transferable degrees ( for students transferring to four-year colleges or universities)
- Credit and non-credit vocational and occupational training
- Certificate courses
- Adult basic education
- Small business development assistance
- English as a second language
- Developmental/Remedial coursework
- Non-credit community and continuing education
The many benefits of a community college make it a valuable resource for Idaho's future economic development by providing a well-trained work force for businesses and industries throughout the entire state.

The antithesis of the fun-in-the-sun Caribbean, Alaska beckons passengers with some of the most magnificent scenery you'll see from a ship, including calving glaciers. On an Alaska cruise you head to the frontier, sailing past pristine wilderness to towns rich in Gold Rush and Alaska Native history. Along the way, you get a chance to spot whales, bald eagles, and bears (keep your binoculars handy!); and to partake in such Alaskan activities as salmon fishing, gold-panning, flightseeing (over glacier fields), and dogsledding.
- Weeklong Inside Passage cruises embark round-trip from Seattle and Vancouver, while Gulf of Alaska cruises sail one-way between Anchorage (the ports of Seward or Whittier) and Vancouver.
- Small ships visit more remote towns and spend more extensive time in wilderness areas than larger ships.
- All Alaska itineraries include time spent on the ship viewing at least one glacier. Some ships visit Glacier National Park where there are many glaciers.
- Both routes call at the same popular ports: the Alaskan capital of Juneau, the fishing town of Ketchikan, the Gold Rush town of Skagway and, on some itineraries, the Russian heritage town of Sitka or British-influenced Victoria, British Columbia.
Alaska cruises typically attract an older, "bucket list" crowd, but there has recently been increased interest among family travelers (Disney Cruise Line's entrance into the market in 2011 helped in this regard) and multigenerational groups. The cruise season runs from May to September.
Cruise to Alaska if you...
Are drawn to nature and scenery. Want a lesson in Gold Rush history and Native Alaska culture.
Don't go if you...
Can't stand cool weather. Want to stop at a port every day.

In Doha, Qatar, the Medical Science Club of Park House English School organised a diabetes awareness week from 10 to 14 November to mark World Diabetes Day and raise funds for the IDF Life for a Child Programme. Assemblies on diabetes education and prevention were held for students from Year 7 to 13, highlighting the high incidence of people with diabetes in the country and the importance of awareness. The entire school was also encouraged to wear blue on 14 November and donate to Life for a Child. A total of more than 2500 students and teachers participated in the activities and also joined together to form a human blue circle on the school grounds.
Close to QAR 6000 (€1200) was raised for Life for a Child. The Programme wishes to thank all the students and staff who played their part in making the event a success.

Family: Recurvirostridae, Stilts and Avocets view all from this family
Description ADULT MALE Has mainly black upperparts and white underparts; sometimes acquires pinkish flush to underparts in breeding season. Throat and front of neck are white and note white patch above eye on otherwise black face. ADULT FEMALE Similar to male, but back is brownish, not jet-black. JUVENILE Similar to adult, but with less extensive black on neck, and pale feather edges on back.
Dimensions Length: 13-16" (33-41 cm)
Habitat Locally fairly common in shallow ponds, lake margins, and marshes. Summer range contracts south and west in fall and mainly coastal in winter, often favoring brackish lagoons; coastal belt of Texas and southern Florida are good.
Observation Tips Easy to observe and identify if suitable habitats are visited.
Range Mid-Atlantic, Florida, Northwest, Western Canada, Plains, Texas, Rocky Mountains, Southwest, Southeast, California
Voice Utters an insistent kleet.
Discussion Unmistakable, elegant wading bird, with ridiculously long, red legs, striking black and white plumage, and a long, straight, and very thin bill. Long legs allow it to feed in deep water, but it also forages in shallows, picking small invertebrates from surface with precision. In flight, uniformly black wings and long, trailing legs make identification straightforward. Sexes are separable with care.

Nothing to profound just a simple request.
We have had our first "Official" snow fall of the year, in fact as I sit and stare out of my window, the light dusting of Updates every 5 minutes…."THIS JUST IN… another snow flake has hit the ground"…
And panic as unfamiliar drivers hit the road to stock up on winter rations, preparing to batten down the hatches and ride out the …. Storm?
The word of the day…. Courteous.
Yep folks, the world will not stop spinning because of snow, and for those of you wrapped up in the global warming cause, well…after you put your snow shovels away, turn down your heat and and put away your sweat shop made polar fleece, and just be nice.
I just went out to our local store to pick up some Christmas lights, and sure enough the panic stricken populous was out en mass. Fighting for the up close parking lot, jocking for pole position at the check out line, and snarls to those that dare take the last of…well…anything.
That's all I ask… just be courteous.
But be courteous out there, sure makes the place better, don't it?
Have a Great Scouting Day!

I've just released SCSS 0.4.0, which brings with it some pretty major changes. For one, like the recent release of SDOM, it repackages the code as an R6RS library. Not having to chase Scheme platform-compatibility issues is an incredible relief. But I also decided to change the way queries to the cascade work.
In previous versions, you'd specify a node and a property
whose value you wanted to obtain for that particular node.
The API guaranteed you a non-null response to your query,
even if satisfying it meant that additional computation had
to be done, like extracting a sub-value from a more general
property for use as the value of a more specific property
that wasn't set (e.g., figuring out
border-top-style from the value of
border); or re-using the result of repeating
the query for an alternate, related property (e.g.,
obtaining the value for
border-color from
color); or just looking up a default value in a
reference table. To offset the significant cost of repeat
lookups to the cascade, which are not cheap by any means,
I'd devised an elaborate system of cascading caches to store
values that were discovered but not currently required.
This worked reasonably well, but brought with it some
frustrating complexity -- for example, those caches had to
be flushed based on criteria external to SCSS, like the
activation of pseudo-classes and pseudo-elements.
So I've decided to ditch all of that internal complexity at the cost of passing on a fraction of it to the user of the API: I've modified the selection API such that you no longer ask about specific properties, and you get back the complete set of property values that have been assigned to the node. If you need to increase their specificity or look up a default value, there's an auxiliary API for doing those things. It's already had a positive impact in the only client of SCSS that I know of, libRUIN, enabling some more accurate inheritance behavior, and allowing me to scrap a major swath of CSS lookup code that was coupled to assumptions about the way SCSS worked. It would be nice to think that I've reached a point in my development as a software designer that I could afford to make some tentative pronouncements about "best practices." So: APIs that purport to hide, in one shot, all of the complexity that's inherent in a particular source of data are almost certainly not going to be able to make good on that claim. Better to design software that addresses the problem in layers, with each layer solving a very small part.
Another pronouncement I'd like to make is that there's a lot of benefit to be had by taking advantage of language features for structuring data. I'd been relying on Scheme lists for modeling pretty much everything in the system, from the arguments to the value selection calls to the intermediate result values passed around internally. I've since switched those things over to use R6RS records, which makes reasoning about the input and output of functions a lot easier. There used to be a half dozen inputs to the selection API functions, many of them strongly related; I've grouped them into records such that there are now two arguments, one of which will often be invariant over a single application's use of the API.
2.0 is nearly upon us! The release is scheduled for the second week of February. I'm pretty excited about it, given that it represents several years of sporadic work by me, not to mention years of more consistent efforts by lots of brilliant and talented people. We're trying to figure out how to frame the transformative nature of this release -- Guile's finally become what it set out to be, an actual scripting language platform. Now we have to figure out how to communicate that to people. This is where marketing comes in, I suppose.
