On Wednesday night, my friend Dr. Greg Forbes gave a talk to CFI Michigan about alternative medicine and all the absurd and unproven claims found in supplements and "homeopathic" medicine. He had us all cracking up when he brought up a product called Get Tall 1000, which actually claims to make you taller -- with a 110% guarantee! This is seriously funny and has all the hallmarks of a mediscam. I've bolded all of the weasel words and meaningless bullshit in the ad: … [Read more...]

Bauer's Attempt to Coopt MLK
Add Gary Bauer to the long list of wingnuts working hard to pretend that Martin Luther King would agree with him if he were alive today. Specifically on abortion, he says that King would be fighting against Planned Parenthood to stop "black genocide." … [Read more...]
Robertson: Gay Men Cut Each Other to Transmit HIV
Pat Robertson delivered another one of his bizarre, fact-free diatribes in response to a reader question, this one so embarrassing that they edited it out of the show when they posted it online. This time he claimed that gay men wear sharp rings to deliberately cut one another in order to transmit HIV. … [Read more...]
Booker Proposes Criminal Justice Reform
I'm not a big fan of Cory Booker, but I'll be thrilled if, when he is inevitably elected to the Senate, he follows through on a promise to make criminal justice reform his primary focus. James Webb tried that and got nowhere and no one has tried since he left the Senate. Here's what Booker proposes: … [Read more...]

Syria and the Art of Ignoring Reality
There's trouble in the Middle East -- as there nearly always is -- and the usual suspects are demanding the usual action. Bill Kristol's Weekly Standard is beating the drums for war, a musical refrain that should sound quite familiar. He's signed an open letter to President Obama demanding military intervention in Syria, a letter that is, hilariously, alleged to be from "experts" like him. And Karl Rove. And Elliot Abrams. … [Read more...]
Martin Luther King and the GOP
Republicans love to claim that Martin Luther King was a Republican. They've even taken out billboards around the country saying so. Not only is there no evidence for this, there's considerable evidence against it. By the end of his life, he was a loud and persistent critic of the Republican party. … [Read more...]
Opposition to Summers Ramping Up
It's hard to believe that Obama could be so utterly tone deaf as to nominate Larry Summers to head the Federal Reserve Board, but that appears to be where things are headed. A broad coalition of groups is ramping up an opposition campaign to convince him not to do so. … [Read more...]

Another Weak Attempt to Coopt MLK
On the 50th anniversary of the march on Washington that finished with Martin Luther King's legendary I Have a Dream speech (which I still can't watch without getting choked up), Jerry Newcombe published a lame attempt to turn King into a right-winger at -- where else? -- the Worldnetdaily. He seems to think that King was "politically incorrect" (whatever the hell that means in this context) because he...quoted the Bible. … [Read more...]

Wingnuts Protest Boehner, Demand Unicorns and Lollipops
It's really quite incredible to me just how disconnected from the real world the wingnuts really are.

Insulating a Tongue and Groove Cathedral Ceiling
After scouring the internet, this thread is the closest I've come to finding someone else trying to do what we are. We just purchased a 1955 Mid-Century Modern house with vaulted cathedral ceilings. We do not want to lose the wood ceilings. Instead we would like to insulate by using 1.5" foam and installing a second T&G ceiling on top of the existing ceiling. We are in Southern California. There is no venting in the ceiling and never has been any and the wood is all in great shape. The roof of the house was put directly on top of the T&G. I am hoping someone can tell us if what we want to do is feasible. Can a second T&G ceiling be installed with no air space, directly on top of Tuff-R foam over the existing T&G ceiling?
CA has its own Energy code; http://www.reedconstructiondata.com/...es/california/
Depends on location but minimum may be R-30; http://publicecodes.cyberregs.com/st...ch9_sec001.htm Check with your local AHJ: http://www.buildingscience.com/docum...itioned-attics
PS. welcome to the forums!
Regulations regarding insulating T&G ceiling
Thank you for the welcome! :-)
I wasn't clear on what I meant about "able to". It was the housing inspector who suggested such a method of insulating so it is allowed as far as building regulations go, however I cannot find anything on the internet about anyone else having done this and if there are any issues inherent with installing a second T&G directly on top of the original one separated only by 1.5 of foam insulation. Does anyone have any personal insight or knowledge of doing this? BTW: the house is built on slab.
How exactly would you ever nail it up there?
Personally? I would not. But the building inspector presented this option when he recommended we insulate and we explained to him that we did not wish to cover the T&G cathedral ceilings in order to insulate. I assumed by his familiarity with the practice that there is a method by which it is done. I did not ask him to recommend someone to estimate the job as they're not allowed to make personal recommendations. I am here specifically to find out more about this potential solution to our lack of insulation and discover any issues we may encounter by installing a 2nd T&G on top of the existing one (with foam insulation in between). My hope is that we have a master on here that can tell me all about it.
Remove the shingles and add SIP roofing panels is one way.
(google it)
I've never seen long enough fastners to make it through T & G plus 1-1/4 foam.
The roof is new and we don't want to take it off to insulate. So it sounds like we will have to wait for 20 years until it's time to replace the roof and insulate then. I wonder why the home inspector suggested it as something that was fairly standard. Odd.
Can you post a picture of what's there now?
Thinking outside the box it may be possible to add SIP's on the inside of the ceiling, then you would have something to attach the new ceiling to.
May want to contact a company like this and get some ideas.
Sure, I'd be glad to. I will take some on Wednesday and post them. Thanks.
If he was a building inspector with a county/city, he should have also mentioned the R-value required for your specific area.
"In Zones 1 through 3, open cell (vapor permeable) foam can be used successfully to enclose building spaces with moderate or dry interior humidities. In higher interior humidity spaces, closed cell foam or other roof designs are recommended." Taken from; see/read about Fig. 8: http://www.buildingscience.com/docum...on?full_view=1
Without having the added cavity insulation, your situation is slightly different than these test results; http://www.buildingscience.com/docum...d-roof-systems
Before I explain further, where are you located? Nearest large city...
What is the humidity reading in the room most of the year?

Practical and Magical Uses for Dandelions
Traditionally, dandelions have often appeared in pagan rituals. The buttery blossoms and bright green leaves accent altars for spring and summer celebrations, especially the Vernal Equinox, Beltane, and Litha. They can be woven into garlands, wreaths, and ropes to be worn or draped across altars. Towards autumn, pluck the silvery orbs to adorn your altar for Lammas, Mabon, or Samhain.
Alternatively, you could design your own rituals to celebrate dandelions, or to take advantage of their many properties. Here is a listing of posts about Dandelions and how to use them.

Thumbs of Glory
- Client:
- Specialized
To coincide with the world's toughest and most prestigious cycling race, Specialized launched an app called Thumbs of Glory. It would become undoubtedly the world's toughest and most prestigious thumb-cycling race.
The app was available for download from iTunes and Google Play. Like the big race, Thumbs of Glory took place over 21 days.
Brave contestants sacrificed hours a day and covered 3,664 kilometers on the exact course of the Tour de France, with every thumb stroke taking riders one pedal stroke closer to Paris. Using telemetry from the actual course, the game mimics the tour's twists and turns, its inclines and descents; it makes climbing hills harder and even allows for freewheeling on the downhill sections. Yes, thumbs were thighs in this particular race.
"The tour is the hardest three-week sporting event in the world," said Rich Silverstein. "We wanted the app to be just as hard."
The winner earned a Specialized S-Works Tarmac racing bicycle valued at $9,500.
Released: July 2014

Meh, I still find the $299 price tag and no expandable memory to be a turnoff. But Ice Cream Sandwich looks good so far.

Don't say it like that. It gives the wrong impression ;)

Lol id take it but its not an impressive phone :( I'm cool with ma bionic for now lol. Dazzle me with something amazing in comparison and I might jump the bionic boat. (if anyone tells me iPhone... I wish ill on you.)

The Miz... your post seems reasonable and not from someone who is crazy. That's really creepy. Stop it please.

Are you nuts? Comments like this are great

Miz, you OK bro?
13. The_Miz (Posts: 1496; Member since: 06 Apr 2011)
I don't know, am I? ;)
12. vantenkiest (Posts: 312; Member since: 20 Apr 2011)
i would agree but i have had 3 Verizon Reps tell me from different stores that its going to be the 32 gig version for 299 so I might be ok with that.
like i said MIGHT be ok with that.
14. The_Miz (Posts: 1496; Member since: 06 Apr 2011)
So you're ok with Verizon scre...I mean overcharging you for a phone? Might as well just buy it off contract imo. Sure, it's probably a few hundred more, but at least you're not locked into a 2-year extension.
Or buying it from 3rd party sellers like Amazon.
15. roldefol (Posts: 4362; Member since: 28 Jan 2011)
Off contract it will probably be $700. So we're still getting a decent deal at $300.
But yeah, I'll probably hit Amazon for mine.
19. cnoevl21 (Posts: 7; Member since: 07 Nov 2011)
1. I have a hard time believing that the 32GB is the $299; everyone has been saying 16 GB $299 and 32GB $399. That is of course the price you get at Verizon, but who really buys phones at a Verizon store? You obviously go through Amazon or Wirefly. Though I may have an issue doing so and keeping my unlimited data plan :-\
4. nanozander (Posts: 97; Member since: 19 Oct 2011)
See, this is what i was talking about. So in the end apps have to be optimised to be able to hide the on-screen keys to achieve a full screen experience huh~ Don't know bout you guys but i kinda still prefer having seperate function keys..
10. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
I think the apps that have use for this are mostly videos and games. I don't see why you would like to see full screen On apps like twitter
11. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
I agree they could have made the body smaller, but I guess they decided to pass on that for some reason. But I can see samsumg trying to make it super thin and small with its new chipery
16. readingthissh1t (Posts: 303; Member since: 20 Jul 2011)
omg i think i just... just *falls over*
now that i know that those software buttons can be hidden for fullscreen apps, screw the razr (not in a bad way) this phone shall be mine!
17. robinrisk (unregistered)
Now, how can you go back to the regular screen without any buttons?
18. firelightx (Posts: 71; Member since: 13 Oct 2011)
Just guessing, but I imagine it's a lot like how things are now. Watching a movie? Tap the screen to get the options to show up.
Games will likely vary wildly, but Angry Birds is a good example I guess. It has a menu button on the screen (top left corner) despite the physical buttons on the phone.
20. robinrisk (unregistered)
Nice, though do you imagine an app made wrong that takes the whole screen, with no buttons, so you get stuck in it :P
That would be funny.

Oh how I wish I owned BTVS. Still I just love borrowing them
Revenge is best served with Alcohol
Karaoke wasn't really Spike's cup of tea. The warbling of the current drunken singer did little to ease his distaste. Still, what the birthday girl wanted, the birthday girl got, especially when the birthday girl was looking stake happy and threatening to dust you. Since they walked into the bar, Buffy was busy ignoring him.
"Come on, Buffy," he pleaded. "You can't still be mad at me?"
She gave him a withering glare. "You ruined my birthday, Spike!"
"Correction! Dawn's cake ruined your birthday."
She crossed her arms. "You were the one who encouraged her to make the cake. You let her add chilli powder to it."
Spike shrugged. "So now it's wrong to give the Bit some encouragement."
"Yeah – when she ends up poisoning people. Xander was puking everywhere and we had to spend the next half hour cleaning up the mess."
"Not my fault the whelp's got a bad constitution," Spike replied.
"Says the vampire," she retorted.
"You had some and you're perfectly fine," he pointed out.
"I'm immune to her experiments at this stage," Buffy said, pouting. "Besides, what I'm really pissed at is your laughing at him."
Spike sighed, "Come on – you have to admit it was funny."
When there was no response from the Slayer, he continued, "You're being unreasonable, luv."
"Am I, really?" she asked sardonically.
She was PMSing was his best guess, but he wasn't about to further increase the chances of his not surviving the night. Wheedling didn't work, so on to Plan number two: seduce her.
He moved close to her, touched her back and leaned in to whisper in her ear.
"How about we do some dancing, luv?"
She shivered and he put his hand further down her back closer to her pert, little ass. For one moment, he thought he had managed to get his way around her. However, she pushed him away. She turned around to face him. "Uh uh. No touching till you make it up to me."
"Bloody hell," he moaned. "You're hard work, Summers."
"And you're the partner from hell, Mr Bloody."
He took her chin in his face and asked, "What can I do to make it up to you, luv?"
He could see a mischievous twinkle in her eye. "Use your imagination. We're in a karaoke bar."
He starred at her, wondering if he had possibly misheard her. "You want me to serenade you?"
"Yes, I want you to sing me a song. I know your taste's outdated, but please try and sing something this century."
Spike was gobsmacked and she gave him a little smile before she turned and headed out to dance with her friends on the dance floor.
Buffy felt quite smug. She was enjoying making him pay for the disaster earlier on today. She wondered if he would get up on the stage for her. She watched Dawn, Faith and Willow as she approached. The three was dancing to a particularly awful version of Gloria Gaynor's "I will Survive".
Buffy took a look back at her vampire, who was still standing at the edge of the dance floor and she vowed to put on a bit of a show for him.
"Hi you guys," she said perkily.
"Again, I really sorry about the cake," Dawn whispered. "I thought it would make an interesting addition to the chocolate cake."
"It's not me you should be apologising to," Buffy said. "Xander's the one who's suffering."
"But you're acting all pissed with Spike," Dawn said, frowning.
"Oh that!" Buffy smiled. "I'm just making sure he doesn't take me for granted."
"Buffy!" Dawn sounded scandalised.
"Is he still looking at me?" Buffy asked, as her back was now to him.
Dawn nodded. "Can't keep his eyes of f you. I don't think you have anything to worry about."
"Good," Buffy said. "Now let's dance!"
An hour later, Buffy was starting to wonder if this stand-off was going on too long. She scanned the bar looking for him, but there was no sign of him pouting. She frowned. Spike didn't usually sulk for long. She had expected him to come out on the floor, trying to paw her and she would have let him. The music had stopped between performers and Buffy turned her attention back to the next brave soul that was about to step up. The compere was talking.
"The next singer wants to dedicate his song to his girlfriend."
The crowd started to whoop at the declaration. She thought she saw glimpse of a bleached head up by the stage. No way! Surely he wouldn't actually do it? There was no disputing for any longer as Spike ambled up onto the stage. Willow squeaked, Dawn squeezed Buffy's hand and Faith watched in amusement. Buffy could see he was causing quite the consternation among the crowd. He was wearing his come to bed eyes and while she knew it was only for her, she could see the reactions of the females in the crowd to her sexy vampire.
"I want to dedicate this song to Buffy Summers," he said. "This one's by Nickelback: Something in your Mouth."
"Got to meet the hottie with the million dollar body.They say it's over budget, but you'd pay her just to touch it, come on!"
She knew that song and she narrowed her eyes. Buffy's glee at her boyfriend doing something romantic had turned to anger.
"Every sugar daddy hitting on her all night long"
He walked towards her and she blushed bright red, while the crowd cheered. That asshole was making her out to be some big whore.
"Doesn't care about the money, she could be with anybody. Ain't it funny how the honey wanted you all along!"
He held out his hand for her to dance with him. She averted her eyes from him and the crowd started to boo. Spike continued, keeping his eyes on her.
"You're ripping up the dance floor honey.
You shake your ass around for everyone.
I love the way you dance with anybody
And tease them all by sucking on your thumb"
"You ought to take that stick out of your ass," Faith advised. "If you won't dance with Blondie then I will."
Dawn was giggling and Buffy glared at her. "Stop it! This is so embarrassing."
Dawn looked at Buffy. "Come on, Buffy. You deserve it. You've been playing him all night." Dawn gazed back at the floor. "And woah!"
Buffy followed her sister's gaze to Faith and some floozy getting up close and personal to her vampire. Of course, he was enjoying it thoroughly, although he did look a little uncomfortable when the said floozy made a move to grab his package.
"Go on!" Dawn urged. "Get out there and show them just who he's going home with tonight."
Buffy marched right over and pushed the woman out of the way. "That's mine, bitch."
The crowd began to holler again.
"I'm still mad at you," she whispered. "But I'll be damned if I'll let some slut feel up my man."
The end
This little idea came into my head and I just couldn't exorcise it, so I had to write it. The song is from Nickelback of course as mentioned and is Something in your Mouth. I don't own this song and am using it without permisson.
- Current Mood: amused

I have a 2003 WRX 97,000 miles, totally stock. It's had a rough idle for some time and was getting worse. Finally threw a P0301 code. Changed all plugs (NGK Platinum) (35,000 miles on them) and coil #1. Also PCV valve and fuel filter (Also 35,000 miles on it). Re-tightened grounds and battery. Runs better, but still some idle roughness. Ran a can of Seafoam through the tank before the filter change. The old filter has very dirty sediment drain out of inlet side. Also ran compression check while plugs were out. 150# to 152# on all cyls.
Ran a monitor check using an ElfScan5 and got a TID$03 ComponentID$03 Failure, but no CEL. It was high according to the table. Reading 27218 when max value is 20775. ComponentID's $01, $02 and $04 were within range although on the high side. Can anybody tell me what the TID codes stand for? I've searched this site as well as the Internet and only found a list for the Legacy 2.5L. According to that list its an Evaporative Emmission Control System Leak (small leak) in Tank Pressure in Mode C (whatever that is??)
Since I had such a dirty Fuel Filter, I'm wondering if this isn't close to what's wrong. It was really dirty, but I don't know where to go from here.
Again, does anybody have a list of the TID codes for the 2003 WRX? It would be greatly appreciated.

About Melissa Coates
Melissa Coates Starts Bodybuilding
At age 15, Melissa began her bodybuilding career. While still in high school, at Port Arthur Collegiate Institute in Thunder Bay, Melissa was able to bench press 230 pounds. She continued her regimen while obtaining her Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from Lakehead University, then, in 1991, won her first bodybuilding contest at the Physique Challenge in Windsor, Ontario.
In 1994, Melissa won the Canadian Middleweight division for women's bodybuilding, a win that qualified her to turn pro under the rules of the International Federation of Bodybuilding & Fitness. She officially turned pro in 1995.
By 1996, she had won her first major international competition, the Jan Tana event in Roanoke, Virginia. That same year, she placed ninth in the Ms. Olympia competition; the equivalent of the Super Bowl in the female bodybuilding world.
Melissa Coates In Flex And Loaded
In order to become more involved in the fitness world, Melissa moved to California in 1998. She saved up enough money to do so by working jobs as a shooter girl in bars in Thunder Bay, where she earned the nicknames "Rambo" and "The Terminator" because of the way she would sling shot glasses across her muscular chest like cords of ammunition.
In 1999, Melissa participated in her last international competition, placing 13th at the Ms. International in Columbus, Ohio. Over the next few years, she was featured in many bodybuilding and fitness magazines, such as Muscle & Fitness, Flex and Loaded.
Melissa Coates Starts Wrestling
In 2002, Melissa began immersing herself into the world of professional wresting. She attended a tryout camp for the WWE, then began training with former wrestling giant, Killer Kowalski.
In 2003, she was invited to join the Ohio Valley Wrestling league, a training ground for future stars of the WWE. It was there that she began to develop her signature move, the "Coates Rack."
That same year, Melissa moved to Louisville, Kentucky, in order to make her wrestling dreams come true. She had her first exposure in the WWE in May of 2005, when she entered the ring from the crowd to take a bet from WWE star, Chris Masters. Masters manhandled her, but the fact that the WWE allowed Melissa to participate in the stunt signified that the organization saw her as a legitimate up-and-comer.
Outside the wrestling ring, Melissa signed up for a series of infomercials alongside actor David Carradine to promote the "Kung Fu Fitness System." She continues to pose for spreads in assorted bodybuilding magazines.

Bob Hope was born Leslie Hope in Eltham, south London, in 1903, but the family moved to Bristol while he was a baby with the belief Hope Senior would find stable work as a stonemason.
But Britain can hardly lay claim to have moulded one of the world's most dearly-loved comic actors - the family packed up and moved to Ohio when Hope was just four.
In 1920 Bob and his four brothers were declared US citizens.
One of the star's first jobs in showbusiness was as a dancer in the Fatty Arbuckle vaudeville review in 1924, having learnt to perform in a multitude of talent shows.
He was on Broadway by the early 1930s with his partner George Byrne, but at this point the producers did not recognise Hope's potential and he was persuaded to relaunch his career on the west coast.
It was during this time that he was introduced to the young Dolores Reade, who he married in 1934 - a partnership that has been one of the most enduring in Hollywood.
The couple's birthdays are just two days apart. With Dolores on 27 May and Bob's on 29 May, each year they celebrate together on the 28th.
Broadway productions continued and including the Ziegfield Folies and Red, Hot and Blue alongside Ethel Merman and Jimmy Durante.
Hope's first major film for Paramount Pictures was the Big Broadcast of 1938, which although largely forgettable, saw him duet on Thanks for the Memory with Shirley Ross.
He went on to have string of hits with Paramount, with which he enjoyed a long relationship, including College Swing, Give Me a Sailor and Never Say Die.
When Hope teamed up with Bing Crosby for the Road to Singapore musical comedy it created one of the big screen's most memorable partnerships.
The Road to Zanzibar, Morocco, Hong Kong, Rio, Bali and Utopia followed in quick succession.
But it was Hope's first forays into television that really helped make him one of the most famous faces in America.
He hosted an NBC special on Easter Sunday in 1950 featuring guests Douglas Fairbanks Jr and Dinah Shore.
Although Hope refused to present a weekly TV slot he remained an NBC favourite for 60 years hosting ad hoc shows.
He also hosted the Academy Awards for several years and was given four honorary Oscars for his contribution to showbusiness.
Such was his popularity that he has befriended and entertained at least 11 presidents including Roosevelt, Eisenhower, Ford, Nixon and Clinton.
He was hailed as "America's most prized ambassador of goodwill throughout the world" when presented with the Congressional Gold Medal from President Kennedy.
Britain also honoured him with an honorary knighthood in 1998.
One of Hope's biggest commitments has been entertaining troops around the world through times of war and peace, which began with a visit to California for a radio show in front of airmen in 1941.
During World War II, Hope's radio shows were usually performed in front of military personnel at camps in the US and theatres across Europe and the South Pacific.
He continued to entertain the troops right up until the Gulf War of 1990 when he went to Saudi Arabia to greet the men and women involved in Operation Desert Storm.
Such was his devotion to the cause that he was given honorary veteran status in 1997 - the first person it had ever been bestowed upon.
During his career he has been given more than 1,000 awards.
Hope rarely makes public or television appearances now, his failing health keeping him away from his adoring fans.
But his influence and popularity remain as strong as ever, bringing him iconic status as one of America's greatest living actors and humanitarians.

Here's another one of those unusual activities I had to engage in during one of my mandatory Ethics courses as part of my Bachelor's Communication program
The Ethics Awareness Inventory is a program that can evaluate one's ethical style. Because most people view what's right and wrong from their own perspective, it is important for one to realize what that perspective is. The program asks a series of questions and evaluates the answers. At the end, it reveals the type of ethical person one is.
The results may vary from person to person, but most people base their ethical views on character, obligation, results, or equity. Some have blended styles, which places them in two categories at the same time.
People are influenced by (C) character, (O) obligation, (R) results, or (E) equity.
Character: your perspective leans toward what it is good to be, rather than what it is good to do. You believe that moral excellence should be achieved and look beyond an individual's actions and into his/her character.
Obligation: you look toward duty, or obligation to do what is morally correct. You believe that ethical principals should be respectful of human dignity, be universal, and promote individual freedom.
Results: the consequences of actions usually take precedence. Ethical judgment must be based on concrete, factual evidence. Talking is not good enough, action is what matters.
Equity: you look for stability. Pragmatism and normal day-to-day experiences are usually the only real guide to action. You believe that no set decision is adequate for all time.
We use a combination of all four ethical styles; however, the average person usually has a dominant ethical style that he or she uses most and another style he or she uses least. It is unusual, though not uncommon, for a person's most used and least used scores to be fairly close to each other.
The result of this testing system are very accurate.
The test is pretty simple, and I've included a link if anyone is interested.

PITTSBURGH – Junior Asia Logan (Baltimore, Md.) scored a career-high 36 points to lead Pitt to a 76-74 win over William & Mary in women's basketball action on Sunday afternoon at the Petersen Events Center.
The forward set the Petersen Events Center record for most points scored by a Pitt player, topping the 34 points registered by Shavonte Zellous on Jan. 4. 2009. Logan also collected a career-best 14 rebounds. Redshirt junior Ashlee Anderson (Chicago, Ill.) chipped in 14 points and six rebounds.
The Panthers (1-1), who overcame an 11-point first half deficit, registered a 47-27 rebounding edge.
Senior Emily Correal led the Tribe (0-2) with 27 points, 23 of those in the first half.
Trailing by three points at the break, the Panthers tied the contest for the sixth time at 47-47 with 17:33 to go on a fast-break lay-in from Anderson.
Pitt turned it over on four of its next six possessions, allowing W&M to take its largest lead of the second half at 60-53 with 8:42 to play.
The Panthers scored the next six-straight points, as two free throws and a lay-up from Logan sandwiched a basket by Anderson to make it 60-59.
The Tribe drained three-pointers on two of their next three trips down the court as the last from Jaclyn McKenna gave the visitors a 68-65 advantage at the 5:07 mark.
Pitt chipped at the lead, closing to one (68-67) on a 4-0 run courtesy of Logan. W&M surged to a five-point cushion at 72-67 after the fifth three-pointer of the game from Janine Aldridge and a free throw by Taylor Hilton.
The Panthers clawed back as freshman Krista Pettepier converted an offensive put-back and sophomore Brianna Kiesel knocked down a triple in front of her own bench to knot the score at 72-72 with 2:09 to go.
Pitt's defense went into overdrive, forcing turnovers on the next three-straight W&M possessions. Briggs came up with one of the biggest plays of the game with 42 seconds left when she swiped the ball and hung onto possession for the Panthers to get a timeout.
Out of the stoppage, Kiesel smartly drove the near side for a lay-up. Her shot was blocked by Correal, but Logan was in position to grab the offensive board and get fouled. She converted both attempts from the charity stripe with 25 seconds to give Pitt a 74-72 lead.
The Tribe tied the contest for the 10th time with eight seconds remaining on a jumper from Hilton just inside the free throw line. Pitt had one last opportunity in regulation to grab the win with Kiesel's shot in the paint bouncing off the front rim.
Logan grabbed the rebound – her 12th offensive board of the contest – and went to the free throw line with three-tenths of a second left. She hit both shots from the line to lift Pitt to its first victory in 2012 and snap a 17-game losing skid dating back to last season.
The Panthers trailed by 11 points in the first half at 17-6 after Correal put up her third-straight bucket and the foul at the 14:13 mark. Pitt used a 20-6 scoring run, capped by two-straight lay-ups from Anderson, to take a 26-23 lead with 7:28 on the clock. The Tribe took a 43-40 lead into the locker room.

Levonta Taylor's aggressiveness and raw speed paired with his supreme confidence have him rated by Scout as the Old Dominion State's best defensive back in the Class of 2016.
"What I bring at cornerback is physicality to the game and being very humble and very fast and most importantly, my ball skills and instincts," Taylor told InsideTennessee.
Tennessee knows what supreme talent at cornerback looks like as the Volunteers have produced NFL-bound defenders like Terry Fair, Dwayne Goodrich and DeRon Jenkins. Now, Taylor is drawing the focus of the coaching staff, especially after the Ocean Lakes, Va., product camped in Knoxville earlier this week.
The No. 4-rated cornerback prospect in the nation said that Tennessee's facilities compare favorably to others he saw previously, including Clemson, N.C. State, Virginia and Virginia Tech.
Orange & White coaches that spent time with the Scout four-star prospect were Virginia-area recruiter Zach Azzanni, defensive backs coach Willie Martinez and head coach Butch Jones.
"Coach Martinez said he would love for me to come down here and come in as a true freshman and play for him and be an impact player for their defense because he loves physical guys like I am," Taylor said. "He said I remind him of one of the players he's coached named Tim Jennings, who plays for the Chicago Bears.
"Coach Jones, talking to him, I have a great alumni from my school that went to Tennessee in Justin Hunter. We could build a pipeline from there."
The 5-foot-10, 174-pounder clocked a hand-timed 40-yard dash of 4.34 seconds while at Tennessee's camp, which is a personal best.
As a sophomore, Taylor totaled 48 tackles, 10 pass breakups and seven interceptions. He patterns his game after Arizona Cardinals cornerback Tyrann Mathieu even though "I'm like 2-3 inches taller than him though."
Virginia's best rising junior listed a number of items he seeks from a university.
"Having a good bond with the coaches and players and feeling good around my surroundings and most importantly, a good school for me so after football I'll be straight. Another 'most important' is playing time."
Taylor is teammates at Ocean Lakes with several DI-bound players but says it is not imperative that they attend the same university.
On Saturday, the four-plans to check out Notre Dame.

Leaving the scene of car accident, REVOKED LICENSE? FLORIDA
Hello I am florida, I recently got into an accident where i left the scene of the accident the section is 316.061
"The driver of any vehicle involved in an accident resulting only in damage to a vehicle or other property which is driven or attended by any person shall immediately stop such vehicle at the scene of such accident or as close thereto as possible, and shall forthwith return to, and in every event shall remain at the scene of the accident until he has fulfilled the requirements of s. 316.062. Any person failing to stop or comply with said requirements shall, upon conviction, be punished by a fine of not more than $500 or by imprisonment for not more than 60 days or by both such fine and imprisonment. "
I have got myself a lawyer, I dunno how the case is going, cause the 2nd court date is on November 17, hopefully he will try to go for a dismiss or work something out, but in situations like this where you need your License to get to work, can they spare you ? by doing volunteer work, paying fines and so on? or have a restricted time on my license to goto work and school. I explained to him why I left the scene and it was due to me personally beind stressed out from quiting my job/looking for new work, reapply to goto school for mba degree, and when the accident occured I asked the lady was she alright she said YAH WTF in tone that kinda got me nervous cause the cop probably be on her side and give me a hard time cause im young(23) and driving a nice car, give him a reason to mess with me .
Lawyer said as long as i didn't leave for the bad reasons such as DUI,DRUGS or something bad i shouldn;t worry, but i cant stop thinking about it I dont want to loose my license

re: Leaving the scene of car accident, REVOKED LICENSE? FLORIDA
First of all, it doesn't matter a bit why you left, you left. Period.
The penalty is fine or jail or both.
Doesn't include revocation or suspension so I don't think you'll have a problem there unless you have prior citations and the accumulated points result in suspension or revocation.
If this is your first offense I'm guessing you'll just get hit with a fine.

re: Leaving the scene of car accident, REVOKED LICENSE? FLORIDA
Why would you think that "being stressed" is an acceptable reason for leaving the scene of an accident?
Accidents are stressful. Everyone is "stressed" when they are involved in an accident. If "stress" were an acceptable reason to leave an accident scene, no one would ever stay.

re: Leaving the scene of car accident, REVOKED LICENSE? FLORIDA
Florida point system
12 points earned within 12 months results in a 30-day suspension.
18 points earned within 18 months results in a 3-month suspension.
24 points earned within 36 months results in a 12-month suspension.
And here's the point table at the bottom of the following page:
Depending on how many prior speeding tickets you got, what the speed was, what caused the current accident, plus the 6 points for leaving the scene, I'm guessing there's a good possibility of at least a one month suspension, quite likely 3 months.
I really hope you have learned something. Because if you don't clean up your act you could be dead before you are 24.

THe only time i noticed a change - was when i highlighted my hair a few months ago.......it got very straw like.
then I bought some Shea MOisture masque at target - omg - my hair felt so horrilble........i immediately took it back to the store! I dont even know what was in it, that made my hair so dry!
here is the ingredients for the shea moisture masque:
Deionized Water , Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter) , Argan Oil , Vegetable Glycerin , Emulsifying Wax , Sea Kelp Extract , Panthenol (Vitamin B-5) , Essential Oil Blend , Avocado Oil , Tocopherol (Vitamin E) , Hyssopus Officinalis Extract , Salvia Officinalis Leaf and Equisetum Arvense Extract (Sage) , Soybean Oil , Daucus Carota Sativa Seed Oil (Carrot)
there isnt any protein in it at all! Maybe my hair isnt porous at all?!
I just read this on that link:
It is also important to remember that, although the above is a great general guideline, there are always exceptions to the rule sometimes; for example, a coarse-haired girl has a lot of structural damage from repeated flat-ironing or chlorine exposure and could benefit from a good protein reconstruction. Always let the condition of your hair be your guide as well as the facts of good hair science!
So maybe because ive been coloring my hair, that i do ok with the protein? PLUS - my hair is about 50% gray......that changes the texture also......
I might try a new shampoo without protein and see how it goes....
Its true that the season and where u live have an effect and should count in the equation as well.
I live in AZ where its very dry, no moisture - except for 2 months in the summer during monsoon season when the dew point and humidity soar. I do change my styling products during this season, but havent changed my shampoo/conditioner.
I have coarse thick long hair that is color treated and I used to flat iron it more than i wore it curly until the last few months when i got highlights and it got a little dry. My shampoo and condish both have a couple proteins low on the list of ingredients -but my jessicurl styling products and DTs do not.
My hair feels pretty good, and i only experience frizz in the dry winter months - maybe thats when i should change my shampoo/conditioner?
ive never thought this hard about my hair - but if i could figure it out - my hair would look and feel better!

I would name my child something religious. Our faith and beliefs are a major part of my fiance's life and mine. The name would be a way of sharing that faith with my children. I fully understand that they might not share my faith when they are old enough to make that decision for themselves. But my faith shapes all that I do and how I view the world. That would be something that I would want to leave to my children.

I'd like to point out that there are far more "religious" names than people seem to think. I've heard people say they wouldn't give their child a religious name, only to have names like Atlas, Judah, Ariadne, and Julian on their list. ALL of those names derive from a religion (Atlas/Ariadne= Greek Mythology, Judah= Judeo-Christian beliefs, and Julian = Roman Mythology via Jupiter) and there really aren't tons of names that have no connection at all to any belief system. I'd say those types of names are the exception rather than the rule. At least 6 of the top 10 boys names- Jacob, William, Jayden, Noah, Michael, and Daniel- have a connection to religion, and I haven't checked the other 4. Names arise from culture, and religion/spirituality/belief system is a huge part of every culture on earth. It is very difficult to NOT use a religious name.

Yes. Easily. My faith is very important to me. I feel very much like @alzora--since my faith is so important to me, it's natural that my naming style reflects that. A lot of my favorite names that honor my faith aren't terribly obvious, then again, some (like Boaz!) completely are. Of course my children will be free to choose their own way (although I hope and pray that they will embrace the faith that I love so dearly!), but hopefully my children will one day appreciate the thought and love I put into their names, regardless of whether or not they choose to follow in my footsteps.Ashley | namenerd | Christian | storyteller

Tow Straps: What Are Tow Dolly Straps?
Most people have never heard about tow dolly straps. Still less people will ever use a car or any tow dolly strap. That is because car tow dolly straps are not very commonly used items. You don't expect to find a car tow dolly strap in your average households. So seriously what are tow dolly straps and what are car tow dolly strap
As you know car tow dollies are used for towing a car behind another vehicle. For this purpose you must load one side of the car, normally the front tires of the car onto the car tow dolly and let the rear wheels move freely on the road. Loading the car onto the tow dolly alone is not enough, you have to secure and tie it to the dolly so that the car won't slip away while being towed. So with tow dollies come nylon cords and straps to secure and tie the car wheels onto the tow dolly and keep them securely until your final destination. These nylon cords and straps are referred in towing and recovery industry parlance as tow dolly straps. You can see a car tow dolly strap in this picture here and how it is wrapped around a car tire.
As you can see tow dolly straps consist of just nylon straps and cords. But they play one of the most crucial roles in vehicle towing and are indispensable equipage. One can say a tow dolly is useless without a tow dolly straps.
Like there are different kinds and sizes of tow dollies for different purposes like car tow dollies, trailer dollies, motorcycle tow dollies etc. tow dolly straps also vary. Sometimes with the same car tow dolly you'll have to use different types of straps to accommodate different tire sizes of different cars. So in the market you find tow dolly straps and car tow dolly straps of all types and sizes to fit all types of vehicles. If you got to buy tow dolly straps you will find them differing in variety by the vehicle type, weight, tire size and type of dolly. But most tow straps for sale today are adjustable so you can fit them around several different tire sizes and car models.
Most tow straps today also have a ratchet system or ratchet feature. With ratchet tow dolly straps you can use the ratchet system and make sure the tires are tightened as much as possible and fitted around the tires most securely. So tow dolly straps with ratchets are a very desirable if you are going to buy car tow dolly straps to use with different vehicle. This doesn't mean normal tow dolly straps without ratchet are useless. If you are sure to use a tow strap with the same vehicle every time then non adjustable dolly straps are the most suitable for your needs. The ratchet-less or nun adjustable tow straps are consequently also the easiest to use and more lasting.
If you ever have to buy a tow dolly strap and you are not sure it would be best for you to get expert advice about these dolly straps and the best kind to buy. More than ordering online buying one recommended by an expert and locally is best where possible.

Bank reform must allow open markets: Bank of Canada
OTTAWA (Reuters) - A U.S. proposal to limit banking activities must strike a balance between preventing institutions from being "too big to fail" and the need to keep markets functioning effectively, the head of Canada's central bank said on Monday.
Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney made the comments in an interview with the Financial Times after U.S. President Barack Obama last week proposed barring financial institutions from engaging in proprietary trading -- operations that are unrelated to serving customers and are for their own profit.
"We start from two principles. One is you have to have a system that's robust to failure, so we have to move to a system where institutions can fail in an orderly fashion," Carney said in the videotaped interview.
"Secondly, as a central bank, what we care deeply about is that markets function and to the maximum extent possible that we can enlarge the number of markets that are continuously open ... So we have to work to make these markets open. That means we're going to need firms who are market-makers," he said.
Carney said exactly where to draw the line between banks and their proprietary trading businesses will be the biggest challenge and the answer will differ depending on the country.
"Different judgments will be taken in different jurisdictions about where you draw the line between proprietary businesses and market-making businesses," he said.
Canada has shown little inclination to follow other countries in imposing levies on banks or limiting their activities to prevent future financial crises, mainly because regulatory standards are already higher than elsewhere and none of the major banks needed bailouts.
Carney's focus has been on improving market infrastructure to prevent meltdowns of the kind seen in its non-bank asset-backed commercial paper market.
In that vein, Canada has begun developing a central counterparty clearinghouse for repo transactions, a step designed to reduce risks and keep markets more liquid in times of crisis. Carney said the service should start operating later this year. Continued...

Chinese Citizens Given Bags Of Clean Air To Breathe
Marketing stunt sees bags of fresh mountain air shipped to the people in one of the 10 most polluted cities in China.
Citizens of Zhengzhou, one of China's top ten most polluted cities, were given a breath of fresh air last week when a travel company imported bags of clean, mountain air for people to temporarily inhale.
The bags of mountain air were part of a publicity stunt by the company, who were promoting tourism to Laojun Mountain, which is 120 miles from the city and the source of the bagged clean air. According the Wall Street Journal, people who supped on the air tried to wrangle every last drop from the bags. A pregnant woman even proclaimed to feel her baby kick when she inhaled the fresh air and declared a desire to take her child to the mountain forests once it is born.
The promotion highlights the ever-increasing pollution problem in China. Zhengzhou has an Air Quality Index (AQI) of 158 – that is three times more than the US's most polluted city, Bakersfield, CA which has an AQI of 45.
Though this is not the first time canned air has been sold – Mount Fuji air is a popular tourist souvenir in Japan – using it as a marketing stunt to encourage travel to cleaner air regions, shows just how severe China's pollution problem is.

Former President George H.W. Bush is 89
Happy birthday to former President George H.W. Bush of Houston.
Bush turned 89 today.
In the past, 41st president in recent years has marked his birthday with stunts such as skydiving.
Today, in celebration of the President's birthday, the The George Bush Presidential Library Foundation is asking the public to put on some "exuberant socks," take a photo and post it on library's Facebook and Twitter pages.
"Select birthday sock photos will be chosen and given to President Bush for his 89th birthday," the library says.
Bush has had medical issues and spent nearly two months in a Houston hospital with a bronchitis-related cough before being discharged in January.
A Bush spokesman says the former president will celebrate with his family at their summer home in Kennebunkport, Maine. Bush's wife, Barbara, turned 88 years old last Saturday. Relatives will help the couple mark both birthdays.

The damping function in rheology
- First Online:
- Received:
- Revised:
- Accepted:
DOI: 10.1007/s00397-008-0308-x
- Cite this article as:
- Rolón-Garrido, V.H. & Wagner, M.H. Rheol Acta (2009) 48: 245. doi:10.1007/s00397-008-0308-x
The damping function has been a concept introduced in rheology since more than 30 years ago, and although a similar concept was already earlier implemented in studying rubber materials, its implementation in the modeling of polymer melts was an essential step forward in the classification and understanding of nonlinear viscoelasticity phenomena. It is the objective of this contribution to give an overview on the theoretical background and physical interpretation of the concept of the damping function for different types of deformation, as well as a review on the experimental results including the experimental artefacts to be considered. Besides homopolymers, a summary is given on different investigations of other types of systems, where the concept of the damping function has also been applied, for example, rubbers, rubber-like materials, block copolymers, polymer composites, liquid crystals, polymer blends, suspensions, emulsions, micellar systems, and in food rheology.

Hi my name is Casey, I live in Spokane, WA. I have had my cpl for about two years now. What I'm wearing dictates what I carry with me I have a small 2" .357 mag Rossi 461 and a 5" Para P14 LDA. love them both, I'm currently looking into purchasing a new pistol for carry, 1). Springfield XD in .45 ACP 2). H&K USP Compact in .45ACP 3). a Kahr in .45 ACP. Obviously i'm going with a polymer based firearm, just haven't decided on which one will work the best for every day concealment.
I am hoping to be able to join the ARMY here soon (January ) plan on going Infantry with the prospect of going through and passing both the Airborne and Ranger courses.
Hobbies would include various shooting sports, Racing, working on my car ('67 Barracuda Fastback), Hunting/camping, and making money.

The mysterious vanishing act that is Titans running back Chris Johnson continues to escape logic.How does the one-time fastest running back in the NFL change from a thoroughbred into a Clydesdale?Johnson has no burst, no acceleration even on those rare occasions when he finds himself in space.
Cynics claim Johnsons wallet is slowing him down. I guess lugging $53.5 million around would get tiresome.Former Titans defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth took his money and ran. Johnson took his money and he cant run, at least the way he did two years ago.
Titans quarterback Matt Hasselbeck played at Seattle with former Alabama running back Shaun Alexander. Alexander was headed to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.He peaked in 2005 when he ran for 1,880 yards. The Seahawks rewarded him with an 8-year, $62 million contract. It was guaranteed for $15.1 million, and the team paid him $15 million in the first year of the new contract. At the time, it made Alexander the NFLs highest paid running back.
I see a lot of similarity, Hasselbeck said Sunday. Just in terms of when youre so successful and you produce in such a major way with Fantasy Football and all of that stuff and people are just expecting it to happen.
Alexander broke his foot three weeks into the 2006 season. It began a decline that escalated when Alexander fractured a wrist and suffered a sprained knee and ankle in 2007.He was cut in April of 2008 and the Redskins cut him after four games and 11 carries that year and he was out of the league, just three years after having his best season.
Its hard to be that elite all the time, so people got on him real quick, real easy, Hasselbeck said of Alexander. He probably got a little too much credit when things were good and definitely got too much blame when things were bad.
Fans at LP Field and those watching on flatscreens across the country see a different Chris Johnson. The boo-birds are in full throat.When asked, Johnson denies losing a step. He claims to be the same runner he was when he piled up 2,006 yards two seasons ago.
He averaged 125.4 yards a game in 2009. It dropped to 85.2 yards a game last season and is now averaging 43.1 yards a game -- 2.8 yards per carry. That, my friends, is pedestrian. Thats a mule crashing the Kentucky Derby field.
Even if he came back out of shape, Johnson has had seven games to get his mojo back. He may be regressing, as the Colts came into the game ranked second to last in run defense. New Orleans piled up 557 yards and 62 points a week before the Colts arrived at LP Field.
And, Johnson was shown up Sunday by Colts quarterback Curtis Painter, who lumbered 79 yards on just seven runs for his life. Johnson managed 34 yards on 14 carries.
Its something we have to get going if we want to continue to win and make the playoffs. Our goal is to win the Super Bowl, Johnson said.
To use one of former NFL coach Jim Moras legendary rants: Playoffs? Youre talking about playoffs? Playoffs?
Mora faced reality. Im not sure Chris Johnson has.

Gartner says that 80% of gamified apps 'driven by novelty and hype' will fail.
If you picked November 2012 in the "When will Gartner publish a report delivering a no-nonsense takedown of gamification mania?" sweepstakes, award yourself some points. Oh no, wait…
Flippancy aside, Gartner's report is a reminder for companies to beware of buzzword-spouting experts promising to shake up their businesses, but also that when you separate gamification from the gamification-gurus, there are still some useful lessons to be learned.
The report pulls few punches: "Gamification is currently being driven by novelty and hype. Gartner predicts that by 2014, 80 percent of current gamified applications will fail to meet business objectives primarily because of poor design," explains the company in its announcement.
Research vice president Brian Burke elaborates:
"Poor game design is one of the key failings of many gamified applications today. The focus is on the obvious game mechanics, such as points, badges and leader boards, rather than the more subtle and more important game design elements, such as balancing competition and collaboration, or defining a meaningful game economy. As a result, in many cases, organizations are simply counting points, slapping meaningless badges on activities and creating gamified applications that are simply not engaging for the target audience."
Gartner isn't writing off gamification entirely, it should be said: the actual report promises to go into depth about how game mechanics should be applied more usefully to other kinds of businesses in the years ahead, as it moves from "leading-edge innovators" (ugh!) to "becoming more broadly adopted by early adopters".
That last phrase may require some parsing, but there's a badge for you if you manage to… D'oh!
One of the problems with gamification so far is that a lot of people have boiled it down to "turn X, which isn't a game, into a game by using rewards and high-score tables".
Sometimes the results are comical – several mobile apps trying to gamify people's sex lives spring, horrifyingly, to mind – but the more serious problem is when these theories that promised so much for enterprises don't deliver.
Hence the backlash, which is healthy, because it will hopefully encourage less buzzwords and conference-grandstanding and more substance around the way other kinds of businesses can learn from games and game developers.
That said, there may also be a second wave of punditry around this area, along the lines of "Forget all that silly hype around gamification, HERE'S how it can really work for you…"
For example, shortly after Gartner launched its report, publisher O'Reilly Media announced a new book by Michael Hugos called Enterprise Games: Using Game Mechanics to Build a Better Business, complete with the promise that "it's not about giving workers a smiley face for producing more widgets".
Hugos' claim that "Ideas from gaming that have already been field tested for years in massively mulitplayer online games can be applied to restructure work. They will change our ideas of what a job is and how an economy can operate" may raise plenty of sceptical eyebrows, but if there is substance to his ideas, they'll find an audience.
Gamification isn't bad, in itself. Bullshit is bad. And there's been a lot of bullshit around gamification over the past two or three years. As we get beyond the hype, it's time to focus on the genuinely useful ideas and case studies in this area.

Give the references. Up to now, all papers mentioning problems were based on lack of statistical coherence, or pure speculation based on in vitro in vivo extrapolation. I do accept that smoking anything is not recommendable during pregnancy. Nothing here to justify illegality of pot.<quoted text>BS...of course it's better then smoking cigarettes, but smoking anything is not good for you. Most people that smoke pot are not occasional and also breath deep holding it in. A lot of those tests you read are not done like that. Check out what the medical field says and not what the advocates say. Because of the lower blood pressure and higher heart rate, researchers found that users' risk for a heart attack is four times higher within the first hour after smoking marijuana, compared to their general risk of heart attack when not smoking. How many people are having heart attacks because of pot but never reported? Marijuana contains more carcinogenic hydrocarbons than tobacco smoke and because marijuana smokers typically inhale deeper and hold the smoke in their lungs longer than tobacco smokers, their lungs are exposed to those carcinogenic properties longer, when smoking.
Research indicates that THC impairs the body's immune system from fighting disease, which can cause a wide variety of health problems. One study found that marijuana actually inhibited the disease-preventing actions of key immune cells. Another study found that THC increased the risk of developing bacterial infections and tumors.
Several studies have found that children born to mothers who used marijuana during pregnancy exhibit some problems with neurological development. According to those studies, prenatal marijuana exposure can cause:
Altered responses to visual stimuli
Increased tremulousness
Problems with sustained attention and memory
I wonder why the poor people that smoke pot have so many kids with add?
Anyway, making a drug illegal augments its consumption, in all cases (with dangerous or non dangerous products).
