The perplexing process of picking a major
August 7th, 2012 | Ian Richardson
With its offering of more than 100 academic programs, you can study just about anything at Evangel University. The only problem is that you eventually have to choose something. Deciding on a major is a big decision — an important decision — a hard decision. I speak from experience. During the course of about six months during my first year, I changed majors three times.
People tell you to study something you enjoy. Well, throughout my life I've always enjoyed reading, writing and watching movies. I've played piano for more than a decade, and I love listening to music. I also have a thing for history. Science fascinates me, and math is okay too.
Unfortunately, I quickly realized that I couldn't choose Reading-Writing-Film-Music-History-Science-Math as my major area of study on my college application. My interest in writing eventually won out, and I decided to major in Journalism. However, I quickly changed my mind to Film, setting my sights on a career in screenwriting. However, about halfway through my first semester as a Film major, I realized that most of the technical aspects of filmmaking held no interest with me.
I began to realize that all along my main interest was simply in stories and writing. The English program was where I belonged. Now I have switched departments and am working toward an English major and a Writing minor. Finally, I feel that I am in the right place.
I can't prescribe a magic formula to finding the perfect major. I can't even pin down exactly what cleared my own head about what I wanted to pursue. When it comes down to it, you will find what you want to do in your own way, in your own time. Yes, you will eventually have to make a decision, but thankfully it doesn't have to be right away.
What helps is that Evangel actually offers ways to help you find your niche. The Frameworks program requires you to take classes in a variety of areas, so you're bound to find something that interests you. Also, the faculty are always willing to take time to help you through your decision-making process. Evangel also offers interest surveys and strengths evaluations that help you learn more about what might be the right field for you. Most importantly, though, Evangel is a university that recognizes the importance of putting faith in the true Guide of our lives.
So don't worry if you're not sure about your major. If you put God at the front of your search, He will help you find your way, and He'll do it all in His perfect timing. Two of my favorite verses are Proverbs 3:5-6, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths." Trust in the One who knows you better than yourself, and there is no way that you can do anything but succeed.

My name is Debby Matthews from the KOA Campground south of the town of Las Vegas. We have had the campground for 10-1/2 years and the Lord has blessed us immensely over those years. What has not been a blessing is the county road in front of the campground, which is part of the pre-1937 Route 66. We have called frequently to . . . the Roads Department, but are told that there are no funds to pave the County road/Route 66.
There were enough funds to pave the same road (not part of Route 66) from our mailboxes down to many of the homes on the Romeroville Frontage Road.

Number 412, April 8, 2007
"We are a part of the natural world"
Hanging In There
Special to The Libertarian Enterprise
There are various and sundry political action groups for just about anything you'd care to imagine. There are pro-gun and anti-gun groups. There are pro-life and pro-choice groups. There are groups that fight for freedom of religion but from entirely different perspectives. There are economic development groups that find themselves pitted squarely against property rights groups. There are hunting groups and animal rights groups.
It's probably a good thing that there are so many groups because there are frankly at least as many political positions taken up by the American voter. It's certainly fair to say that the more liberal voter might be more likely to belong to or agree with certain groups more than others; the same thing would be true of the more conservative voter. But even like minds aren't entirely alike. Not all liberals, for example, are pro-choice and anti-gun; not all conservatives disagree with the majority of liberals when it comes to abortion and firearms.
But that's the beauty of so many disparate groups. You can have whatever opinion you like about a variety of issues, and you can join with like minds to work foror againstwhatever it is you wish. The things the group members don't agree on are immaterial to the cause at hand and, as a result, everybody can work together toward a common goal without wasting energies on unrelated arguments. Even more importantly, you can work for something you support without extending your efforts and resources toward something that you don't.
This sort of sensible arrangement spills over into our personal and non-political lives as well. You may volunteer for your church where you work with people with whom you have little in common but your religious beliefs. You might go hiking together with your significant other, but read a book while he goes fishing. All the while, the picking and the choosing that you do dovetails with your own interests and your own beliefs nicely with little if any compromise.
Unfortunately, there are some people for whom some agreement isn't enough. Although you may have some things in common with them, they refuse your aid and sometimes even your association because you don't agree with them about everything. They seem to view this condition almost as a personal affront, and they're not inclined to forgive or even for a moment forget your disagreement whatever it may be. As a result, you both lose something, but they typically don't see it that way.
Some years ago, a good friend of mine had a very close friend with whom he had much in common including a lengthy history. Perhaps the only thing they didn't have in common was the path each took toward a religious philosophy. One of them gradually came to believe the truth of Christianity. The other examined Christianity and found it lacking as he did the other religions he investigated. He came to accept the fact that there are no gods. Given the friendship the pair had, the two probably could have learned a good deal from each other. It may be that neither would change their minds, but they still might have gained some understanding of each other's position if not respect or appreciation for it.
Instead, the friend whose newfound Christianity gave him such joy determined that he couldn't possibly have any kind of a relationship with someone who didn't even believe in his god. There was no discussion let alone any kind of an alienating argument or ultimatum. Without so much as a look behind him, he simply said good-bye to a twenty-year friendship because all of the common interests and experiences weren't enough for him if they couldn't also have an agreement on religion.
Now, I never would have expected them to attend church together, and I would have been almost as surprised had the Christian skipped Sunday services to do something more decadent (by his definition, of course) with his old friend. But I also wouldn't have expected that they'd never bowl another game or attend another party or have another discussion of how best to fix everything that was wrong with the world, either. I remember how sad my friend was, and how confused, too. He simply couldn't understand how it was that one thing, even an important one, could override everything else.
I can understand that myself to some small degree. For example, my best friend disagrees with me as to the best of the current presidential candidates. She thinks that Rudy Giuliani is a terrific choice. I, on the other hand, remember all too well when I referred to him as "Rudolph: New York's answer to Adolf." That was when Mayor Giuliani instituted such unconstitutional niceties as expanded gun bans and neighborhood checkpoints. I reminded my friend of those days, and do you know what she said to me? "Well, I actually kind of like that he did that." You can, of course, imagine my reaction.
Although she's completely wrong about Giuliani (just ask me, and I'll tell you!), it never occurred to me that I should stop seeing movies with her, going to parties together, or talking about her kids and my cats. In much the same way, I'd also be more than a little surprised if she decided that my disdain for Candidate Giuliani had anything to do with the rest of our relationship.
Politically, another good friend and I are in agreement more often than not, but certainly not always. Another acquaintance is a real mover-and-shaker in the local Republican Party. Sometimes I agree with him, and sometimes I don't. Whatever we disagree on, the three of us have been known to get together on certain issues and pool our time, resources, and abilities to help further those causes. When that happens, you had better believe our disagreements don't come up. We are, after all, focused on something that we do agree on!
In all of these give and take situations, it seems to me that when we concentrate on what we have in common, we're of mutual benefit to each other and to our cause. And by working with other people on other things, we continue to collectively do more than any of us could ever do on our own. The key, of course, is being willing to work with people on some causes without worrying about or placing conditions on other causes in which they might be involved.
Our ability to compartmentalize and prioritize our own opinions becomes even more important when it comes time for casting our vote. Unfortunately, we can't vote for different candidates to represent us on different issues. We're stuck voting for one candidate, and all we can do is vote for the one that represents us on the most issues, or at least the ones most important to us.
Some groups are better at this than others. By groups, of course, I'm not referring any more to special interest groups but rather to political parties. Traditionally, Democrats tend to stick together perhaps better than any other party. Their candidate may not be a great one. He (or likely soon to be she) may not represent all, or even most, of their views faithfully. But the Democrats have done a terrific job of convincing party members that even a bad Democrat (but, as Mark Twain might say, I repeat myself) is better than anything else.
The Republicans know the Democrats are good at what they do politically, and they've tried via their much-vaunted "Big Tent" to do the same. There's room for everybody, they say, and by extension almost every viewpoint. But some Republicans aren't going to be able to swallow their bile long enough to vote for a "Big Tent" candidate (in many cases, I'm not inclined to blame them). In my opinion, the sagging "Big Tent" is the perfect example of taking agreement and tolerance for disagreement too far. Everything will be shored up quite nicely, however, the moment the tent is made a little smaller, and a candidate can be found that represents most of the viewpoints of most of the GOP.
Meanwhile, perhaps the worst party at getting people to unify behind a candidate or even a cause is the Libertarian Party. I've heard it said more than once that getting Libertarians together is like herding cats. Now, I don't know how familiar you are with cats, but I'll tell you from past experience that herding them is pretty much out of the question! In no small measure, the problem with unity within the party is caused by people with principles so truly precious to them (which I frankly appreciate and admire) that they're disinclined to work gradually toward a goal they believe ought to be the status quo already. That's too bad because the Libertarian Party is really the closest thing I've got to my party of choice primarily because it is, in my opinion, the party closest to liberty.
The fact is that the people who win elections are going to be those who get the most people to vote for them en masse. And every time the Democrats do their thing successfully, and the Republicans manage to pull off some unity even if it's only long enough to defeat the Democrats, they see their candidate in office and their issues addressed. Meanwhile, Libertarian candidates all too often languish in the distance after having failed to make all of their party members happy all of the time, and all too often having scared non-party members away.
I don't suggest that anybodyDemocrats, Republicans, Libertarians or anybody elsecompromise their principles to the point where they vote for somebody whose every viewpoint they find abhorrent. I do, however, suggest that we might consider accepting a little less than the perfect candidate and vote for the best candidate we can get even if we don't love him as much as we wish that we did, or agree with her on all of the issues we consider most important. After he or she is elected is plenty of time to lobby for attention to our interests! And by working together in our various grassroots groups, I'm betting we can do just that.
Whether it's a cause or an entire election, though, the key is working together. That's something that I do my best to do. Unfortunately, in recent weeks, a person I'd worked with on various issues in the past advised that we'd not work together in the future because I'd written a column in direct contradiction to his views on a specific subject. I'm not sorry I wrote the column, but I am sorry we won't combine efforts again on any of the many things we do both support. I've also lately seen at least two groups effectively chase people away for failing to toe one particular line or another when the line in question really had little or nothing to do with the group's reason for being.
Throwing away the perfectly good resources represented by interested and politically active people is self-defeating at best, and making unreasonable demands for unreasonable agreement is a great way to throw those resources away (most of us know better than to ask our significant other to agree with us 100% of the time, so what makes us think it's okay to do the same with our friends, acquaintances, or political cohorts?). The end result is that we're less. We collectively have less money, time, voice, manpower, and political power. When we're trying to get something done, less is never a good thing. When we're trying to accomplish something as crucial as the restoration of freedom, less is an outright tragedy.
After signing the Declaration of Independenceeffectively an act of treasonBenjamin Franklin said, "We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately." I think his words are at least as valid now as they were then, only I'd put it just a little differently: "We must all hang together, or we may as well hang it up."

San Antonio-based Tesoro announces $75M sale of Hawaii refinery
HONOLULU (AP) — Tesoro Corp. said Monday it has agreed to sell its refining operations in Hawaii to Par Petroleum Corp. for $75 million plus the market value of its working capital.
The San Antonio, Texas-based company said Par Petroleum agreed to continue running Tesoro Hawaii LLC as a refining, logistics and retail operation.
The deal expected to close in the third quarter comes after Tesoro told Hawaii state officials in May that it would lay off 165 workers at the Kapolei refinery. Those layoffs were set to begin this week after initial notices were sent out earlier this month.
Tesoro said it expects the market value of its working capital to be between $225 million and $275 million.
"While the Hawaii operations do not align with our strategic focus, we believe they offer a great opportunity for Par Petroleum," Tesoro CEO Greg Goff said in a statement.
Hawaii U.S. Rep. Colleen Hanabusa, D-Hawaii, praised the sale and said she hopes it will help prevent job losses.
"I look forward to learning more about Par Petroleum and their intentions, practices and philosophy," Hanabusa said. "My hope is that they will grow to be a part of our community."
Democratic U.S. Sen. Brian Schatz says the operation is a critical part of Hawaii's economy.
"This will help with the availability of jet fuel, diesel fuel and other refined products," Schatz said.
Par Petroleum is based in Houston, and has several energy-related assets. Its stock rose 4 cents, or 2.7 percent, to $1.55 on Monday.
Par Petroleum said its board unanimously approved the purchase, and that the company's retail gas stations would remain under the Tesoro brand.
"This is a great fit for Par Petroleum and we are pleased to make a long-term investment in Hawaii's economy," Par Petrolem CEO Will Monteleone said.
The company said the deal would be financed by issuing $200 million in common stock and other funding.
Tesoro's stock rose 45 cents, less than 1 percent, to $57.61 on Monday.

(Sultan Knish)There's just something about Nancy Pelosi and Islam. As reported last year, Nancy Pelosi hired Faiz Shakir from Think Progress, despite his troubling past, which included aiding in fundraising for a terrorist front group, to be her senior adviser and Director of New Media.
Now Pelosi has appointed Nadeam Elshami as her Chief of Staff.
Elshami formerly worked for ultra-leftist Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) and socialist Representative Jan Schakowsky (D-IL). Schakowsky is a member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, a gaggle of socialists who work feverishly to convert America into a dismal European welfare state.
Elshami's Egyptian mother, Zainab Elberry is a Muslim activist based in Tennessee. She lobbied for construction of a mega-mosque in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Local residents fought hard against construction of this mosque, fearing it would become a training center for wannabe terrorists.
Politico described Nadaem Elshami as "The Man behind Nancy Pelosi" crediting him with playing a "critical role in helping shape the Democrats' message" as her Director of Communications.
Between Faiz Shakir, as director of Pelosi's New Media presence and Elshami as her former Communications Director and now Chief of Staff, it does appear that the Islamization of Nancy's messaging apparatus is moving forward.

Design | News
Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) has launched an initiative that creates eight new concentrations that combine integrative design principles and related technologies with a range of other disciplines.
Dubbed IDeATe, for Integrative Design, Arts and Technology, the program is the result of CMU's participation in the Intel Design School Network. As part of the collaboration, Intel will provide funding for the program, including a research scientist position filled by Daragh Byrne, as well as technology such as laptops, tablets and Galileo Development Boards.
"The Intel Design School Network aims to connect students and faculty with Intel staff and individuals at other leading design schools for research projects and idea generation," according to a CMU news release.
IDeATe students will participate in collaborative studio-based courses that will focus on themes such as expanded theater, human-machine virtuosity, mobile design and physical computing.
The IDeATe concentrations launching in fall 2014 include:
"IDeATe concentrations will prepare students to pursue careers in areas ranging from social media to the 'Internet of Things,' mobile computing, games for learning and performance technologies. They will be uniquely positioned to work in environments where multidisciplinary collaboration among well- prepared experts is key," said Thanassis Rikakis, CMU's vice provost for Design, Arts and Technology, in a prepared statement.
As the Intel Integrative Design Fellow, Byrne will help faculty members develop curricula and coordinate equipment use, lead research into best practices for integrative design education and coordinate research on using Intel products in creative and collaborative environments.
"Carnegie Mellon has benefited from a longstanding relationship with Intel. We are thankful for Intel's generous support, which will help our faculty bring diverse teams together to solve complex problems and train students to advance deep skills in their areas of interest in a collaborative context," added Rikakis.
Other institutions in the Intel Design School Network include Art Center College of Design, California College of the Arts, Copenhagen Institute of Interaction Design and Royal College of Art.
More information about IDeATe is available at cmu.edu.

Adam Carolla Wants Gays To "Shut The F*ck Up"
Comedian Adam Carolla has had a love/hate relationship with the gay community over the years. His new interview with Salon will likely push the relationship further to one side than the other.
My feeling about the gay community — first off, you can't live in Hollywood and get along in this business and be in theater companies and improv companies and have issues with gay people... If you can't work with gay people, you're gonna have a difficult time in Hollywood. There's plenty of gay people and they're in positions above you. You're not going to get your movie directed. I don't have a problem with it — they've just turned into a mafia and demanding everyone apologize for every joke and retract every statement.
It's turned into something that's bigger than it is. I've lived in this town my whole life and never seen it like this. There's been comedians telling jokes but no overt gay-bashing crimes. I don't even know who's gay and who's not gay nine times out of 10 — why do you even need to know? Your skin color and gender one can see, if one wanted to discriminate. In terms of sexual proclivities, I don't know what someone's into! You could work with someone who's into kids — how would you know? I don't know and I don't care. In the book, what I say about the gay community is that someone sent me "the top 10 reasons gays should marry." One: They're American. Two: They pay taxes. Three through five: So they can shut the f--k up.
So, Adam Carolla wants gays to shut up so he can get back to slinging mediocre punchlines about butt sex and so "masculine" comedy can return to the anti-gay minstrel shows of yesteryear. What do you think of Adam's rant?
Odd, how these adolescent right-wing guys seem to troll gay sites so much, and with commentary showing a stunted emotional growth...They get on these sites to stir up something or throw tantrums about how they are not getting to hog the spotlight anymore (which -if you read their comments , that is basically what is going on) ..who is the whiny bitches and drama queens again?
The whole gay issue was somewhat interesting for a minute, especially to do with celebs, but as with all other previous issues, this issue has run its course.
Everyone is sick and bored with this gay issue, and ready for the next, fresh drama of the minute.
The gays can not STAND this, as they thrive on drama and the attention.
Well said Charlie! Do you think once every state has passed gay marriage they'll finally shut up about it already? Or are they going to find something else to whine about? Enough already!
And if they really DO want equal rights then go...get on with your lives. Get married, have families, have stress, divorce etc. Welcome to our world!
I agree with you mike ryan i am so over the drama gay people want to put out there i always thought constitutional right for gay people was a good thing and if it is i just ask all the other states that have not pass gay marriage please do it so they will shut up and lets hope it will make them happy i know these groups speak for all gay people well i hate to tell them they don't speak for me and i am as gay as the next but tell then ass jokes and queer jokes and i wish these group will shut up
If it wasn't for a vagina.you wouldn't be here stupid..What do you think happens out your rear end dummy..that's where you poop..and all your waste goes..that's way worse than a bloody vagina..also you have breast stupid...you talk about women being bitchy..there's nothing worse than one of you drama queens bitching
sorry but that comment is very stupid you sound like a drama queen yourself i have been married and been with a few other woman but i never liked it. they either stunk like fish or tasted like a floral banquet and sometimes like vinegar from douching but we are born this way woman are beautiful as long as they have close on so please dont sound stupid
You think your ass doesn't stink that your sticking your weiner in..oh yes it does..Just because you can't get your face around there to smell it....I would lots rather smell a coutchie than an ass..also penis stink too...If that's all you are is a sniffer..then you need to sniff it all..a woman smells muck better than a man..it's a good thing there are real men out there and not you bunch of poop smelling..penis sniffing weirdos..or you wouldn't be here and neither would anyone else
Why are you so fascinated with your private parts..you already have one so what's the big deal..What you just said to Mike was an example of your whinny baby attitude...somebody picked on me..wah wah ..nobody wants your nasty thing stuck in them... just because you think it's so hot to do that doesn't mean other people do...most people like it the good old fashioned way..Like God intended
I have seen plenty of stand-up comedians. How come it's ok for gay comedians to make fun of gays and not for straight comedians to do the same? Same thing with black comedians. I will never be able to figure that out. Just like with everything else, if it offends YOU, change the channel (that's what the remote control is for!) and/or don't pay money to go see their live show, movie, etc. We ALL have choices! Boycotting Adam Corolla or any other celebrity is not going to change what's in their hearts. But they have the right, just like the rest of us, to make a living. A lot of celebs nowadays are forced by GLADD or NAACP to give a formal apology for what they have said. It's not sincere, it's not what's in their heart. It's forced. I'd rather have NO apology, (from anyone for that matter) than a disingenuous one!
It's THIS generation of gay men that are wussss and pussies and whiny babies. The last generations of gays were strong. They paved the way for the rights of the gays of this generation who act so entitled. Hopefully the next generation of gay men will be embarrassed by this generation of ninnies and strong and confident, and not have to whine and cry constantly. They act like a bunch of children being bullied on the playground!
I noticed it's all gay men that were upset by this artical not gay women..Gay men are just a bunch of whinny little wanna be pussys..your just a bunch of babies...wah wah ..some body said fag...wah wah ..somebody made fun of us wah wah ..Gay women are more ballsy and tough than you whinny babies are..wah wah
Russell Brand, Jimmy Fallon, Dave Chappelle, Whoopi, Ellen, Actually MOST of the current comedians do not think hate is something to joke about. And those that once did, decades ago when hate was fuel for jokes, have changed their tunes. Adam is not a successful comedian. He got rich making fun of people with sex problems on a radio show. Talk about hate. People cant stand him, or anyone who enjoys making a living off of the pain of others. Someone else trying to stay relevant. When will they learn. Hate gets you nowhere.
EVERYONE is forced to be so Politically Correct nowadays....in all arenas of life. We wouldn't have comedians if they didn't observe true life in the world. It has always been that way, and always will be. I believe that comedians should be able to say whatever they want. You don't have to spend money at their shows. A few years ago Michael Richards went on a rant about black people on pitch forks. A few years after that Joan Rivers made jokes about the holocaust. Did it hurt their careers? Heck no, they both have TV shows. They give up an insincere apology. And all is well in their world. It's just the way it is.
Gay people did not get their relationships legalized by shutting the fuck up. Only 11 years ago gays were still being thrown in jail in this country for being gay. Gay people did not win the right to marry in all the countries and states we have to date by shutting the fuck up. But you know who DOES need to shut the fuck up? Adam Carolla, that's who! Why does he need to say things like this? What is the point? What purpose does it serve? Who's life is being made better by his comments? No one, because these are not constructive comments, nor is the constant character assassination from NOM. Anti-gay critics are the people who should just shut the fuck up! You want this problem to go away? Then STOP MAKING IT A PROBLEM BY CONTINUING TO FIGHT TO KEEP GAY PEOPLE SUBJUGATED!!!
Just substitute "Jews" for "gays" in Adam Carolla's little rant, and it's immediately clear how obnoxious his words are. I'd love to see what would happen to Carolla's career in the entertainment industry (actually, does he still have a career?) if he announced that Jews have turned into a mafia and should just shut the fuck up.
I agree 100% Tom. I've been saying for quite a while that we are really getting out of hand with this constant need to be "outraged" over everything. It is really doing us a disservice. One day in the near future when we realy need overwhelming support from the straight community, we're not going to get it because everyone is sick of us being in every single headline. We really are turning into a whiny "Sarah Palin"-esque militia of sorts. Calm down everybody. We're winning. Don't oversaturate everything.
I'm sure this is going to be an unpopular opinion, but I understand what he's saying. It's almost as if we've become so entitled that any tiny little thing will set off a chorus of people.
The bigger, consequential issues I understand making an issue over, but bitching about every little thing is only turning our allies against us. I've seen this trend on sites like reddit, where it's a clearly liberal, pro-gay crowd, voicing more and more opposition when we are constantly complaining about everything.
A good example is on this blog the post about Tyler the creator on the word faggot in lyrics has brought on a bunch of nasty comments using the n word. See http://instinctmagazine.com/post/tyler-creator-defends-faggot-lyrics-people-are-stuck-bubble. That's not helping us at all. In fact, it's disgusting.

Recently, an article posted on Yahoo Education created quite a stir in agriculture circles. The article listed the "college majors that are useless," based on a 2012 study. Interestingly, the article listed agriculture as the No. 1 "useless degree" in the U.S. According to the study, there will be 5% less jobs available in agriculture in the 10-year period from 2008-2018, as compared to the previous 10-year period. The article described agriculture coursework as crops, plant diseases, animal husbandry and basic veterinary science, which appears to be a quite limited perspective of agriculture-related career opportunities.
In 2010, the USDA estimated that that the annual number of job openings requiring a college degree with expertise in agriculture, food systems, renewable energy and environment will increase by 5% from 2010-2015, as compared to 2005-2010. USDA projects that over 54,000 college graduates will be needed each year to meet this job demand from 2010-2015, with 74% of these jobs being in business and science type of occupations. USDA estimates that only about 49,000 qualified graduates will be available each year to meet this growing job demand, with about 29,000 of those graduates coming agriculture, food and natural resources (AFNR) programs at colleges and universities, and the balance from other college majors.
How can these two projections be so completely opposite? Part of the explanation, is probably in definition. The study referenced in the Yahoo Education article appears to take a very narrow focus on the definition of agriculture and the types of career opportunities associated with a college degree in an agriculture-related field. By comparison, USDA takes a much broader approach to the agriculture industry, as it relates to food, fiber, renewable energy and associated careers.
Too often, we correlate "agriculture education" as being coursework to prepare young people for farming, or production agriculture, rather than considering the vast array of career opportunities and job openings that exist in AFNR. There are going to be many future career opportunities for our students in food safety and quality, renewable energy, environmental issues, business management and other areas. Enhancing AFNR programs and course offerings in our colleges and universities is certainly one strategy to help prepare our students for these future opportunities.
AgCareers.com is a national website devoted to AFNR job postings, and to assist students pursuing AFNR careers. According to a survey they conducted in 2010, there were 30% more job openings in AFNR-type positions, as compared to a year earlier. Sixty-five percent of those jobs required a bachelors degree, 11% required a masters degree or higher and the balance required lesser degrees. The survey found that the most positions requiring a bachelor's degree had a starting salary of $40,000-50,000/year, plus health care coverage and retirement plans, with some offering incentive bonuses.
Some of the largest food and agricultural companies in the world are based out of Minnesota, and have many career opportunities available to college graduates. Of course, there are also many job opportunities available in regional centers and local communities throughout Minnesota that would prefer some AFNR training and coursework for available positions. Some of these job openings require a four-year degree, but others will accept a two-year degree or less, with the proper coursework and training. Based of the USDA definition of agriculture, there are ample future career opportunities available to young people pursuing a career in the food, fiber or renewable energy industry.

My 20 year old cousing is redoing her bedroom and asked if I would make her a quilt. She's not sure exactly what she wants and we've been discussing patterns and I also mentioned panels for the center. I'm going to try doing a web search, but does anyone know of any good sites for fabric panels?
Oh yeah, she's pretty hip and likes rock music, the Steelers and horses. Here are some pictures of her. Wouldn't it be cool to get a girl like her into quilting?

Christian Bale won an Oscar last night for his portrayal in "The Fighter" of Dicky Eklund, the former New England welterweight champion who got hooked on crack, went to prison then resurrected himself as a trainer, most notably for his brother Micky Ward. During his acceptance speech, Bale ordered viewers to go to Dicky Eklund's website. I obeyed. On it, I found some footage of Eklund's most famous fight — against Sugar Ray Leonard in 1978 at Boston's Hynes Auditorium.
When Eklund met Sugar Ray, he was in his prime: a rangy, rubbery fighter and a handful for anyone in his weight class. It was Leonard's thirteenth fight as a young pro and you can already see the lethal, elegant style he'd later be famous for as a world champion. He beat Eklund decisively, knocking him down three times. But Eklund also scored a knockdown, a controversial one that looked more like a judo sweep.
The video, with Don Dunphy and Larry Merchant commentating, has been cherrypicked to show some of Eklund's best moments but remains, as Dunphy puts is, "a classic example of the manly art of self defense." Check out Eklund's tube socks, his right lead and his sweet Ali shuffle (3:07).
And here's some bonus footage of the original item shuffling on British TV:

Bledsoe Announces Retirement
Drew Bledsoe announced his retirement Wednesday, April 11, 2007. Bledsoe played in the NFL for 14 years, spending the last two with the Dallas Cowboys. He ranks fifth in NFL history in passing attempts (6,717) and completions (3,839) and seventh in passing yards with 44,611.
"I feel so fortunate, so honored, to have played this game that I love for so long, with so many great players, and in front of so many wonderful fans," Bledsoe said in a statement issued by his agent. "I fulfilled a childhood dream the first time I stepped on an NFL field, and the league did not let me down one time. I retire with a smile on my face, in good health, and ready to spend autumns at my kids' games instead of my own. I'm excited to start the next chapter of my life."
Drew Bledsoe started all 16 games in 2005 as his first year as a Cowboy. In his second year, he was replaced by Tony Romo during halftime in Game 6. Bledsoe never played again but remained the offensive captain for the rest of the season.
Despite the way his career ended, Bledsoe was a Cowboy. We want to thank him for his hard work and dedication in Dallas. Bledsoe is a admirable man, he held his head up and watched from the sidelines while people booed him and Tony Romo took over. I think the way he handled it says alot about his character. Drew, we wish the best in all that you do! God Bless.

E-Mail Scam - "Oprah Millionaire Contest Show" E-mail
While Oprah Winfrey has a history of being generous with her studio audiences, a recent e-mail claiming the recipient has been nominated to participate in the "Oprah Millionaire Contest Show" is a scam. The message fraudulently claims that the recipient could appear on The Oprah Winfrey Show during which a winner of the million dollars will be named.
In order to be considered, recipients are asked to reply with their contact information. Those "chosen" for the show (probably anyone who responds to the e-mail) are told that the next step is to purchase an airline or train ticket to Chicago as well as tickets for the show. Not surprisingly, the senders of the e-mail instruct recipients to send the money for the travel and show tickets to them. Clearly, the only ones who could become millionaires from this "contest" are the scam artists themselves.
The Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) reminds you to remain alert to unsolicited e-mails. Do not open them or click on any embedded links, as they may contain viruses or malware. Also, never provide your personally identifiable information or make purchases from such e-mails. For more Internet crime prevention tips, go to www.IC3.gov
Ask The Help Desk - I can't open the e-mail attachments I receive that end in ".docx." What do I need to do?
Question: Lately I've received several e-mails with attached files that end in ".docx." I'm unable to open these files with the software I have installed. What do I need to do?
Answer: When Microsoft released 2007 Microsoft Office for PCs and Office 2008 for Macs, they changed the document file extensions to .docx, .xlsx, and .pptx. To view these documents, you must have the most current viewer installed. For PCs, you must install the free Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack found on the Microsoft website. Go to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/924074 and scroll down to the "More Information" section. Click on the link under the "Download and Install Compatibility Pack" (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=941b3470-3ae9-4aee-8f43-c6bb74cd1466) and follow the instructions.
For Macs, you must install the free Open XML Converter found on the Microsoft website at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/958304#top. In the "Introduction" section, scroll down to "How to obtain the update," click on the link that says "Download the Open XML File Format Converter for Mac 1.0.1 package now," and follow the instructions.
Another option that you can try is to use the free file conversion services at www.zamzar.com. You simply send Zamzar the file and they quickly convert it to a format you've chosen. You don't need to download any software.
Keep in mind that antivirus software focuses on e-mail attachments because many viruses are spread by e-mail. These programs examine the attachment and if there's a risk, the file will be locked or deleted. You should be vigilant and only open attachments from senders you know. Otherwise, simply delete the e-mail without opening the attachment.

Spring Cleaning tips
Spring Cleaning can be an overwhelming task….so….just take it one small section at a time in managable amounts. It also pays to do each section thoroughly because unfinished things can come back to bite you. Take the extra time that is needed. You can then be proud of a job well done.
I prefer to start in the kitchen as it is usually used the most often and for sanitary reasons good to make sure it is very clean. Not only do you need to clean everything, you also need to declutter and get rid of unused, broken, or items that are double. If your kitchen is organized properly it will be more efficient. Are like items together? Are the things you use the most often easily accessible? These are some of the questions you need to ask yourself when spring cleaning your kitchen. I can guarantee that your kitchen will be easier to keep clean if it is organized properly and not overstuffed with unused items.
A few things that should also be done if they apply to your kitchen is 1).Place organizers in junk drawers…that will cut down on how quickly it gets messy again. 2). Set up a mail station if you open and sometimes keep piles of mail in your kitchen. I will discuss how to do that in a later blog.
If you take just a few seconds everytime something is in your hand, you will be able to dramatically reduce clutter. Or if that is not something you are comfortable with at least try weekly or monthly to sort things and put or file them away.

worldstores necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 108 diseños de 43 diseñadores freelance.
World Stores
World stores is a network of niche online stores
The slogan is Huge Range. Big Brands. Great Prices.
The categories will be very wide ranging from consumer electronics, toys, food, furniture, apparel, shoes and more. The tone of the site will be big and bold, easy to use while being a little cheeky. World Stores is customer centric based company focusing on what our customers need and want. Our customers will become an extension of the company via web 2.0 technology and social media initiatives.
Online in Australia is fairly immature at the moment but people are starting to make the switch.
60% female, 40% male
Mid to lower upper income and socio-graphic audience
The market is currently targeted by pure-play online retailers who on do not focus in the customer or the needs of the customer and generally have shops from cookie cutter e-commerce vendors that are hard to use and quite intimidating.
Design a logo that holds it own but can be incorporated into sub brands to tie the relationship together.
The logo must be an illustrative unique logo that is clearly associated to world stores on it's own without the words.
The logo should have some representation of the network of niche stores.
The logo must be fun, bold and should be a little bit cheeky. Each vertical category e.g. Computers, Food, Apparel, Toys etc will have a different brand colour so the icon might want to represent this but please do not make it look gawly or tacky like a rainbow.
Please take inspiration from social media websites logo with the simplicity they generally have but clear brand statement.
The brand should be easily recognised in a very small format such a as a top navigation store selector bar probably around 20x20 pixels as well as a 16 x 16 pixel favicon. It does not need to be the whole logo as long as it is clearly identified as world stores and ties in with the actual logo.
The logo needs to display an R in a circle to represent that the brand and logo has been registered.
At the end of the day we need a fun, vibrant logo that represents a net generation online store that people can connect with and fell is a trusted brand they can interact with.
The final files must be delivered as an EPS vector file or layered PSD file. E.g. must be in the original format to allow it to be used in multiple environments

A nice Oklahoma sourdough boule photo
I created my own starter 3 years back by harvesting natural Oklahoma yeast. Lately I've been on a protein diet and haven't had the chance to make bread in several months. I pulled the ol' starter out this week and got a sponge going. I made a loaf last night and oh my how good it tasted! It's hard to beat homemade bread isn't it? Nothing's better than a warm house filled with the smell of bread on a cold winter's day! I'm a sourdough student for life!

Oops! Zoya-Asad lost second chance to marry, thanks to wily Tanveer! Such worn-out twists and turns are spoiling "Qubool Hai", otherwise an entertaining show. But its writer-director-producer Gul Khan doesn't think so, as she has her finger on audiences' pulse and adds that real twist is yet to come.
First Tanveer's manipulation stopped Asad, played by Karan Singh Grover">Karan Singh Grover, from reaching the venue to marry Zoya (Purbi Jyoti), and Zoya is so heartbroken that she runs away to Ajmer to nurse her wounds.
Guilty and concerned, Asad tracks her down and the two reunite in Ajmer.
To make an impact, the show's writer-director-producer Gul Khan took the pain of travelling to Jaipur, Ajmer and Pushkar to shoot at real locations, including the areas around Sufi shrine of Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti in Ajmer, in scorching heat with the lead actors, and it paid off well with TRPs soaring.
Now, when the two sorted out misunderstandings between them and agreed again to marry, Tanveer, played by Amrapali Gupta with aplomb, struck back with another devious plan and succeeded in stopping the wedding once more.
Why Asad, an astute businessman, remains naive towards his deceitful childhood friend Tanveer's tricks?
Pat came reply from Khan: "Because I want him to be like this."
Tell her that such melodramatic turn of events have become common on the small screen, and she dismisses it saying: "It's rating well. We are catering to masses who do not identify with high-class realism. They need to see high-voltage drama and emotions."
"If the ratings are not coming, you have to shut the show," she added matter-of-factly.
She revealed that soon Tanveer will be exposed and they will show reason behind her bad behaviour. She added that "Qubool Hai", which has completed about 190 episodes on Zee TV, is essentially not about love.
"The real story will begin after 200 episodes. Right now we are just setting up. The real story is not about Asad-Zoya, it is about the clash between the two brothers - and we are soon going to show that," she said and added that the show will have a long run on the small screen and the real concept will open up soon.
Set in Bhopal, the show, beamed on Zee TV, highlights two different sensibilities and schools of thought through two families.
If Asad's family is modern and educated, his dad Rashid (Vaquar Shaikh), who abandoned his mom Dilshad (Shalini Kapoor Sagar) many years ago, to marry Shireen (ShabnamSayed), lives with his in-laws who are conservative and orthodox.
Khan, who produced "Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon" and ongoing series "Arjun" under the 4 Lions Films, is from Jabalpur, a small town in Madhya Pradesh, and lived in a joint family, therefore, she was keen to tell this kind of story.
"It is very natural for me to tell the story. I wanted to capture a family where 'sage-sautele hote hain'. Children are close to each other, but elders are bickerish."
She has brought her real life experiences through two families.
"In every family you have relatives who have studied abroad and have modern thinking and there are people who have lived in small town and are conservative," she said.
Khan says that the female lead Zoya is her own reflection.
"Actually she is completely me - a girl caught between traditional values and modernity and trying to find a balance," said Khan and added that as far as Asad's character is concerned, she had seen guys like Asad around her.
"I have met guys who are well-to-do, educated but at the same time when it comes to their women, they are conservative...," she added.

Teeth Whitening: What Are Your Options?
Many people find that their teeth become discolored over the years. Coffee, cola, and cigarettes are the usual causes of discolored teeth. Luckily, there are several options for returning the gleam to your smile, but sometimes the options can lead to confusion about what might be best for you.
You should talk with your dentist about which options are right for you. In the meantime, here is some information about the different techniques for whitening your teeth, along with the side effects.
Teeth Whitening Success ^
Ultimately, the success of teeth whitening procedures depends on your teeth. Bleaching procedures may not change the color of bonding or tooth-colored fillings. If you have any of these items in your front teeth, they may stand out as a different color from your newly whitened smile. Porcelain veneers and dental bonding are other options for people with bonding or tooth-colored fillings, but they can be much more expensive.
Over the last 20 years, teeth whitening has evolved into 4 main types:
- Application in-office by a dentist
- Prescription by a dentist to use whitening products at home
- Over-the-counter whitening products to use at home
- Bleaching at a non-dental facility like a spa, or mall store
At the present time, the United States does not have any regulations on peroxide-based materials. Some states however, are looking into taking action to limit patient risks in non-dental settings. This is being done through state dental board decisions, attorney general investigations, and legislation. It does not mean that they are unsafe places, but you should be aware of all the risks associated with all of the methods.
In-Office Bleaching ^
One place you may try is the dentist office. Most do whitening and it does not take long to get the look you want.
At the office, your dentist can bleach your teeth in about 1 hour, but you may need several visits. The bleaching solution a dentist may use for in-office procedures contains between 25%-40% hydrogen peroxide.
First, the dentist applies a protective gel or rubber shield to protect your gums and other mouth tissues from the bleaching agent. Next, the bleaching agent is applied to your teeth. Some dentists use a special light or laser on your teeth to enhance the action of the bleaching agent. The American Dental Association has not found any additional long-term benefit from using light activation in clinical studies.
Depending on the condition of your teeth, you and your dentist may decide that you may be able to bleach your teeth on your own time at home.
At-Home Bleaching ^
You can buy your own home-bleaching kit at the drug store or you can get a custom kit from your dentist. These bleaching solutions are typically gels containing 10% carbamide peroxide. The gel is in a flexible tray that you wear in your mouth. The benefit of getting a kit from your dentist is that the tray can be custom fit to your mouth, maximizing contact of the solution to your teeth. Solutions provided by your dentist generally are applied for a few hours a day for 1 to 2 weeks
Whitening strips that are available in places like drug stores may be a familiar sight to you. These contain a low concentration of peroxide and are generally worn at night or during the day at frequent intervals. They can be effective for age-related staining, but are more useful in maintaining professional results.
Another widely available method is whitening toothpaste, mouth rinse, and chewing gum. These methods remove stains mechanically, but only on the surfaces of your teeth. Again, these may be useful for maintenance after professional whitening.
There are other factors to consider. What kinds of effects can this have on your teeth? Are the effects permanent?
Side Effects ^
Whether you whiten at home or at the dentist office, common side effects of bleaching procedures include tooth sensitivity and gum irritation. Gum irritation can occur from something like a poor fitting tray or with use of the bleaching solutions. The good news is that both effects are temporary and generally fade after treatment stops.
You also want to remember that overuse of over-the-counter bleaching kits can wear way tooth enamel, especially if they contain acid. Be sure to read and follow the directions carefully.
If you are serious about finding a method to whiten your teeth and brighten your smile, take some time to talk to a dental professional. A complete evaluation will leave you in better shape to understand your options and allow you to make a safer and affordable decision.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - May 2, 2013 --Doctors say a Utah soccer referee remains in a coma after being punched by a teenage player unhappy with one of his calls, and his family says their only hope is for a miracle.
The 46-year-old man remained in critical condition Thursday at Intermountain Medical Center in the Salt Lake City suburb of Murray. Doctors say they're trying to control swelling in his brain and that his recovery is uncertain.
Police say a 17-year-old player in a recreational soccer league punched the referee, Riccardo Portillo, once on the side of his head Saturday after the man flagged him for a foul. The teen has been booked into juvenile detention on suspicion of aggravated assault.
Portillo's oldest daughter says it wasn't the first time a soccer player assaulted her father. Johana Portillo says the referee has had ribs and legs broken by players angry with his calls.

Try adding guest access
While you may want security w/ user/passwords on your shares, enabling guest access is another way of troubleshooting if you can make it work.[4]
1. Pick a directory you wish to share ie: /mnt/share and change the access permissions to make it readable and writable to everybody.
chmod 777 /mnt/share
2. Add the [share] section to /etc/samba/smb.conf This will create a free to all directory, and set the security to share. Below is a small but complete configuration file you could use.
[global] security = share workgroup = MSHOME [share] comment = LinkStation Share path = /mnt/share read only = no public = yes
3. Restart Samba on the Linkstation with this command:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/smb restart
4. In Windows Explorer, doubleclick on Network Neighborhood, then on Entire Network, then on your workgroup (MSHOME in the case), and see if you see your LinkStation
5. Doubleclick the icon to see the share directory.
6. Navigate to the share directory.

Morning Five: 06.27.11 EditionPosted by jstevrtc on June 27th, 2011
- Evidently former Texas star Jordan Hamilton feels he should have gone higher than 26th in Thursday's NBA Draft, and he thinks his former coach may have had something to do with that. After the draft, a writer asked Hamilton how he felt about going lower than he'd been projected. Hamilton tweeted the writer back, saying that "(Coach Rick Barnes) called some teams and said that I probably wasn't coachable and things like that." Whether it's true or not, it's likely not the first time that such critiques have reached Hamilton's ears; that opinion was put forth often enough last season by journalists, bloggers, and certainly UT fans. What's important now is that Hamilton take advantage of this new beginning and make it so nobody can grade him in that fashion ever again.
- Hamilton's complaint will fall on deaf ears, if those ears belong to former Notre Dame star Ben Hansbrough. The reigning Big East Player of the Year went undrafted on Thursday and has signed to play professionally in Germany for a year. Interesting move, and quite shrewd. You'd think an undrafted player who still harbored realistic NBA dreams would want to stay as near to the league as possible, and would hang around the D-league or at least play summer ball here. With an NBA lockout looming and the summer league cancelled, a quick jaunt to Europe for a year to get paid while keeping the skills sharp — and hey, we hear the beer's good — seems a smart play.
- First it was the Celtics and Lakers, and maybe more recently…the Timberwolves? It looks like the Minnesota franchise may — or may not — have contacted Mike Krzyzewski about filling their recently-vacated head coaching spot. He's not going. You know you're a legend when people report that it's possible someone contacted you about another job and you're not taking it and nothing's changing. Watch this space, because a little later we'll have an update on the condition of former Spanish dictator Generalissimo Francisco Franco.
- Meteorologically speaking, it was a strange spring in the midwest; there was an extended winter followed by a much bigger-than-usual onslaught of tornadoes followed by a heat wave followed by more unrelenting rain. Gene Keady Court inside Purdue's Mackey Arena has felt the effects, and in fact has been rendered unfit for use. All is not lost, however, as MSNBC's Mike Miller points out.
- Yesterday would have been the 10th birthday of Emma Key, the daughter of Houston Baptist assistant coach Steven Key. Today is the birthday of Steven's wife/Emma's mom, Sherry. A couple of months ago, SI.com's Andy Glockner wrote a story about Emma's death and the effect — God, what an insufficient word — it had on not just the Key family but the HBU program, as well. We saw the author's tweet from Sunday about Emma's birthday, and that he included the link to Coach Key's Twitter account, so we hope it's OK that we choose to re-link Mr. Glockner's story here today. If you didn't read it back in May, please do so, right now.

Teen receives 7 years in stabbing
A teenage attacker who stabbed a man at least 10 times near Colby Park at the request of an irked female friend was sentenced Monday to seven years in prison.
Nicholas Lewis, 19, of Albany wanted Judge Peter Lynch to grant him youthful offender status, which would have sealed his felony assault conviction and prevented him from serving any more than four years behind bars.
"It's not easy out here," Lewis said, being young "on the streets of Albany."
Lynch described Lewis' June 21 stabbing of 24-year-old Michael Mitchell as a premeditated attack — and said Lewis was not a candidate for youthful offender status.
"The stabbing of an individual approximately 10 times in the head, neck, chest and back is a horrific act," Lynch told Lewis, who stood beside his attorney, Melissa Carpinello.
Lynch told Lewis it was a "significant show of lenience" by Albany County District Attorney David Soares' office that Lewis was allowed to plead guilty to second-degree assault instead of attempted murder, which carries up to 25 years in prison.
"The interests of justice would not be served by relieving you of the onus of a criminal record," Lynch told Lewis.
On June 21, Lewis' female friend, Brandi Hensman, 31, of Albany, had an argument with Mitchell early in the day. Seeking vengeance, she teamed up with Lewis. Prosecutors say the pair were in a vehicle when they spotted Mitchell around Colby Street and Hunter Avenue.
Lewis left the car, repeatedly stabbed Mitchell, got back in the car and fled. Witnesses called 911. Mitchell was taken to Albany Medical Center Hospital and has since recovered.
Lewis pleaded guilty Nov. 6 to second-degree assault. The next day, Hensman pleaded guilty to conspiracy, a felony. She was sentenced last month to 2 1/3 to 7 years in prison.
"It wasn't a mistake. It wasn't an act of self-defense. It was a planned event," Assistant District Attorney Brian Conley, who prosecuted the case, told the judge. "They tracked the victim down, found him and stabbed him over 11 times."
Mitchell's mother showed understanding toward Lewis during the sentencing, saying she does not like to see young people go to prison.
"I really sympathize for you ... I'm not angry. I already have forgiven you.," the mother said. "I just hope that you know this is a lesson. Because, sweetie, you could have been going to college. You could have had a good job. There are promising things out there for you. But this one mistake — I know you didn't mean to do it ."
Still, she opposed him receiving youthful offender status, Conley said.
In a Dec. 5 letter, she asked the judge to sentence both defendants to the maximum term.
"There are no justifications for this," the mother wrote of the attack. "It was solely and only by the grace of God that no main veins or arteries were damaged, which could have resulted in a fatal outcome ... While they did not kill him physically, they have killed something inside him mentally and emotionally. Michael will never forget that day."

Today I bring you a movie so flamingly foul that even I could barely stomach it. "Does that mean it's a bad movie, unworthy of my precious time?" you honk, Krispy Kreme flakes shedding from your blue-red lips like so many snowflakes. Heavens no, sir or madam! This movie is supremely entertaining, and though it may be filled to the brim with more cock-shots than the Vicar's first movie (brazenly titled The Vicar Reveals His Cock During Mass), it is still a modern MAD movie masterpiece.
Let us begin, shall we?
THE TAINT, referring to a spreading disease rather than the place between your foul pucker and your shriveled genitals, opens with a black and white shot of a woman's breasts, which cuts to an interior shot of what I'm assuming is supposed to be a vagina. We peer outwards as the lips part. Then we see a man wearing red long-johns running through the woods with a scythe. A youth with yellow hair wakes up next to a girl. He had been dreaming the images we saw--all except for the man in the red long-johns, who appears near where the boy and girl sit (somewhere out in the woods it seems). The scythe-wielder chases the boy off whilst farting and shitting through his brown-stained long-john's back-flap. The boy trips, and falls next to a severed head. He gets up and runs from the man, and starts lighting a cigarette as he runs.
|"Note to self: Avoid Old Man Miller's farm... and daughter."
This, friends, is the opening of THE TAINT, and it only gets more and more weird as time goes on. The dude with the David Bowie hair, named Phil O'Ginny (played brilliantly by movie co-creator Drew Bolduc ), wanders the woods until he meets up with a shotgun-wielding chick named Misandra (Colleen Walsh), who explains to him, via flashback with her former husband, what's going on. Apparently, some toxin is making male humans go crazy, turning them into sperm-squirting, rapey, skull-crushing zombie lunatics! Or else your typical junior high school football players--something like that. The point is, nearly every zombie (I'm using this term loosely, folks) in the movie has his cock hanging out of his pants. A prosthetic cock to be sure, but still hilarious. These dicks shoot gallons of sperm at the drop of a hat, all the while the person in question is murdering a helpless female.
|James Hetfield prepares for the latest Metallica tour.
Phil, who incidentally has two pairs of giant sunglasses that he changes depending on how he's feeling at the time, walks around with the shotgun chick, occasionally killing a crazed rapey dude, until they finally run into a group of non-crazy rapey dudes. Their leader, a former coach at Phil's school, is shown in a lengthy flashback to be ragingly gay, only he denies it, to himself and others. I had a good lengthy chuckle out of his character; the guy who plays him does so really well. But back to the dick waving. It seems a group of scientists has developed a self-described "penis enhancer". We get a lot of hilarious scenes with the scientists, and we're shown their television commercial, which is a black and white riff on old Nazi war propaganda. Brilliant stuff!
|"Welcome to Le Spa du Vicar! Here's your free facial!"
|I've really nothing to add.
2.5 Enthusiastic Thumbs Up!
|"You sure got a purty mouth."

It has been 124 years since U.S. stock markets closed due to weather for two consecutive days, but megastorm Sandy forced markets to close again Tuesday.
Authorities shuttered markets before and after Hurricane Sandy ripped through New York, battering the region and leaving at least 6.5 million without power.
Within a week of a national election, Sandy is putting New York to a test. Markets last closed for two consecutive weather-related holidays in 1888, a statistic that proves New York's resilience. But markets bowed to Mother Nature Tuesday as authorities thought it best to provide the city with a day of triage.
Some commodity and international trading was still online, but the New York Stock Exchange, Nasdaq, and BATS Global Markets all said they would remain closed.
Only one of the three, the NYSE, announced it would re-open Wednesday although others may make their announcements sometime Tuesday.
The CME Group said it would close at 9:15 a.m. EDT Tuesday after allowing for overnight trading. It could not operate its trading floor if it wanted to since it is in an area where an evacuation was ordered by the city.
Only electronic trading of energy and metals would go on, The New York Times reported.
Whatever impact this unscheduled break has on markets is certain to iron itself out within a week -- unless the damage proves so severe investors retreat from companies with grossly affected profit margins.
Other companies, however, might do well if their services are in sudden demand. For the most part, though, companies don't wait for a hurricane in the northeast to make a profit.
In the city, it doesn't get much more decisive than this: Goldman Sachs told its employees to stay home and Citigroup said it would stay shuttered Tuesday. JPMorgan Chase said it would operate with a skeletal staff.
Investors might see some pent up demand when markets re-open. British oil giant BP reported better-than-expected profits in the third quarter with earnings of $5.4 billion.
Ford Motor Co. announced its best third quarter ever with profits of $1.6 billion despite a marked slowdown in Europe due to the economic slowdown there.
In North America, Ford earned $2.3 billion, a company record that technically dates back to 2000 when Ford began to report on its North American earnings separately, CBS reported.
In Europe, Ford lost $468 million. It has already announced it would shutter three plants on the continent with the expectation that 2012 and 2013 would include losses as high as $1.5 billion for the automaker's European operations.
In international markets Tuesday, the Nikkei 225 index in Japan dropped 0.98 percent while the Shanghai composite index in China gained 0.17 percent. The Hang Seng index in Hong Kong slipped 0.38 percent while the Sensex in India lost 1.1 percent.
The S&P/ASX 200 in Australia rose 0.2 percent.
In midday trading in Europe, the FTSE 100 index in Britain rose 0.8 percent while the DAX 30 in Germany gained 0.88 percent. The CAC 40 in France added 1.03 percent while the Stoxx Europe 600 gained 0.68 percent.

If It Works -- Use It!
I recently spoke at the ACCU ("Association of C and C++ Users") Conference in the UK, with the title of my talk being "Seven Tips To Help Get You Started on Multicore".The first tip was 'don't fix what works', the point being that if you have an application that already runs fast enough and there is no business case for making it faster, then don't invest the time implementing parallelism.
When I next do such an event I'm going to add an additional point "If it works -- use it". My thought being that if you have a technique that makes your application run faster you should use it -- even if the solution is not perfect.
I've just read a paper that discussed the performance gains when using two compiler optimisation switches - O2 and O3. The paper showed that by fiddling with the environment and link order, you could make either O2 or O3 produce the faster code for the given application. The implication was that some benchmarks can be turned upside down by altering some variable of the system or build environment.
It would be easy to use such observations to become skeptical of any benchmarks, worse still, you could stop doing any optimisation work at all. When we get to this point, we have lost the plot!
It's easy to get to what I call a 'relegious position' on such matters. (If you don't know what I mean, try talking to a LINUX developer about the benefit of using Windows -- or vice versa).
Surely if my application in a given environment runs faster, then I should take advantage of that. "If it works -- use it!".

text: Oil Blessings and Busts October 30, 2012 09:22 PM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Jeanne Bernick Top Producer Editor Email A brain drain problem has long plagued rural areas of the hard-scrabble Great Plains. Young, educated people flee, taking high tax revenues and economic potential for rural communities with them. To regain such valuable assets, states have tried solutions that range from granting financial incentives to creating jobs and improving the quality of life for young people with more green space and shopping malls. The problem for many of these windswept states was that there was no one great solution. That is, until black gold started bubbling up from far beneath the surface. Now the Plains are in the midst of an oil boom. After years of watching the next generation run from the prairie, rural Dakotans find themselves above the largest contiguous oil deposit in the lower 48 states. An estimated 4.3 billion barrels of recoverable oil resides in a deposit under the Dakotas, Montana and Canada—about half what the U.S. uses in a year. In Mountrail County, the center point of the North Dakota oil boom, average income has roughly doubled in five years to $52,027 per person in 2010, ranking it in the richest 100 U.S. counties on that basis, according to a recent Reuters news article. It's possible the oil boom could be creating up to 2,000 millionaires a year in North Dakota alone, says Bruce Gjovig, founder of the Center for Innovation at the University of North Dakota. It's like striking gold for some landowners. For others, it's bittersweet. When the government gave away land at the turn of the last century, most deeds included land above and below the surface. Some farmers needing cash in the Dust Bowl sold mineral rights for 50¢ an acre. Such rights now are worth up to $1,500 an acre (read more on page 34). The Dark Side of Oil. There is a socioeconomic downside to the oil boom, however. Aggravated assault reports rose 55% last year in the oil-producing counties of North Dakota, according to state figures. Elementary schools are busting at the seams, and there is congestion on rural roads. Land values are shifting where oil is flowing, and farmers are facing newfound headaches. Market analyst Ashley Gulke Leavitt, who farms with her husband near Mohall, N.D., says wells put in by the oil companies are leaching salt into their land and affecting crop production. Still, 35,000 people work in the oil fields in North Dakota, and employers are begging for more. An estimated 4,000 job openings exist. In addition, the service industry that supports the new oil jobs (think Wal-Mart) is desperate for workers. There is finally employment in the rural Plains again. The question is, at what price to agriculture and the fabric of rural communities?

Have you met (must remember where to put the apostrophe) yet? The Japanese brand by Kanebo replaced my beloved T'estimo a while back and although I have several of their palettes, lipsticks and blushers, we are still only acquaintances.
I love Gel liners though. Booby Brown does the sensible colours the best but what about the sparkly fun ones? Coffret D'or has two from the new colours:
DB04 is a dark navy with glitters and PK03 is a light shimmery cotton candy pink.
Japanese brands tend to be a bit pedantic with names, BK for black, two variations of black will be BK1, BK2. Don't ask me why its DB04? PK03…well I haven't seen PK01 or 02 yet…anyway. Now look whose being pedantic.
The liners:
(I put DS instead of DB, so sue me, I can't afford glasses…)
These are quite firm textured compared to the creaminess of Booby's gel liners, but once you spread the texture, its wonderful, pigmented, rich, and the blue is more stunning than I expected, with lots of microsparkles:
The pink is hot too, but as a highlighter I think, inner corner of the eyes kind of thing.
These liners come with a small retractable brush too which is actually, unlike the crap brushes you normally get, useful and stylish.
I wasn't sure if this would be any good, Coffret D'or's glitter eyeliners for example are a big pile of crap but these gel liners are lovely and well worth getting! I bought mine from I think with shipping they are about £13-£14.

Tired of leather wallets that make you sit with one butt cheek higher than the other? They're lumpy, uncomfortable, and don't protect against RFID theft, which nowadays is a big problem. The HuMn Wallet is extra slim & uses carbon fiber to protect against identity theft. Now, Lifehacker readers can get it for 34% off.
To get a sense of what the HuMn Wallet (pronounced Human) is about, check out the video above - it's pretty sweet. Otherwise, there are 2 main reasons why you should consider this wallet:
1) Protection
HuMn is designed as a front pocket wallet which are naturally more secure. It's also the only front pocket wallet that is RFID proof (which is why Uncrate loves it). Whether you believe it or not, RFID identity theft is a very real threat. Check out what happened when Mythbusters tried to cover it:
In short - RFID is very hackable with a standard wallet, but the HuMn's carbon fiber layers block again radio frequency scanning, protecting your identity.
2) Size. It's Minimalist - Hence, it's Comfortable
If you're like most people, you have one of these:
That's fine, but check out this size comparison:
As the HuMn is designed as a front pocket wallet, its minimal build doesn't add bulk to your pockets. Its design can also help you "trim the fat" from your wallet and start carrying only the cards you use.
The HuMn wallet had a very successful Kickstarter campaign and got the thumbs up from Lifehacker. It's manufactured inside the US (so it's high quality), and the promotion includes free shipping in the US as well. The deal is 34% off - $49.99 down from $76. Is it a little pricey? Yes. But is it a super legit wallet? Also, yes. If you're interested, head over to StackSocial to check it out or see more images below:

Irvine, Ca — After doubling his membership from 2006 to 2007, Jim Santaniello, owner of the mixed martial arts and fitness training center No Limits in Irvine, CA, plans to open five or six more locations within two years. The club, which has been open for four years, has less than 3 percent attrition and boasts a membership that is growing 10 percent a month.
Santaniello credits the facility's success to its dedicated and uniquely qualified staff. Trainers at the club include former professional fighters, hall of fame wrestlers and black belts.
"It's like having Tiger Woods show you how to golf," Santaniello says. "Getting on a treadmill or doing weights is great, but if there's not diversity, you get bored with it. This makes it a fun workout."
Members of all ages can take a variety of classes, including Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Muayuay Thai or kickboxing. Memberships are priced differently depending on the class type the member signs up for. All members have unlimited access to the weight and cardio areas.
The mixed martial arts and fitness market is huge, Santaniello says. Although he competes for business with other martial arts studios and health clubs, he doesn't consider them competitors. In fact, his facility routinely opens its doors for martial arts competitions between No Limit members and martial arts students from other studios. Santaniello also has a deal with a local 24 Hour Fitness that allows No Limit members to use the chain's steam rooms and pools.
Although no figures are available about how many mixed martial arts and fitness facilities operate in the United States, 27 percent of International Health, Racquet and Sportsclub Association (IHRSA) member clubs have martial arts programming, and 10 percent have self-defense programming, says Rosemary Lavery, IHRSA public relations coordinator. Santaniello, who says most of his marketing has been through word of mouth, plans to open two facilities on the East Coast, one in the Midwest, one in Los Angeles and one in Orange County, CA, within two years.

SANTA FE — The flu has walloped New Mexico with an early one-two punch and health officials are urging people to get vaccinated against the illness.
Dr. Joan Baumbach, an epidemiologist in the New Mexico Department of Health, said Friday the flu has hit New Mexico earlier and harder than last year.
"This is an unusually early flu season," she said.
