Check here for the schedule. My initial impression, and I hate to say this, is that this looks like a relatively easy schedule. I particularly like that 3 of the last 4 games are at home. Nice.
Packer 2011 Schedule

I think the Packers have a real solid shot to go 8-0 at home with this schedule. The two toughest home games should be the Saints and Bears. And if the Bears season goes anything like last year, by week 16, Cutler will be ready to run and hide at the thought of Clay Matthews coming for him.
The Saints I think will be the hardest win–the pass defense will have to be ready to go right out of the gate. And their defense will be planning all off-season on how to stop Rodgers &co.
As for the road games, I'm less confident. Unless the Panthers and Vikings have miracle turn-arounds, those games should be wins. The rest of them could be some tough games (and don't overlook KC–their defense is good, and it's always tough to play at Arrowhead).
If they aren't hit too hard by injuries, I think the Packers can get to 12 wins on this schedule. Should be enough to win the NFC North, a bye week, and maybe even HFA.

I really like the fact this team gets 10 days off after the season opener. The off-season may be really short this year and to get 10 days prep after playing a real game could really help this team. Plus, the Bears get the Saints for their home opener after the same 10 days rest in week 2.
Week 8 bye which is good.
They play two games four days apart but they then get 10 days off after the Thanksgiving game to prepare for the @ Giants.
They get the Chargers after the Packer bye week. The Chargers play the Chiefs the week before which will be a very important game for them.
The catch two teams after their bye weeks. Rams in week 6 and Vikings in week 10.
They finish with 3 out of 4 at home. Playing two dome/warm weather (Raiders/Lions) teams in December at Lambeau is nice.
Only three games on fake grass. (Det, Atlanta, MN) Not sure if that is a pro or con anymore with the way Rodgers and the offense play inside.

The schedule release more than anything just pissed me off, because it makes me think of lockout. I just don't get why both.. BOTH parties get their act together and work on a deal. They can get a deal done, a fair one for both sides if they just hammered down and worked one out. Even if it takes 2 weeks of going hard at a deal.. Fine, but get it done and get your people there.
All we got left is the draft.. Which I am excited for like every year, but after that there is nothing left. Its frustrating cause in a normal year off seasons are slow enough.. But it is still great to hear what's going on with the pack and rest of league.
The lockout is unbelievably frustrating. They will all lose money with no season. Doesn't it make sense to work things out. Its crazy how they don't seem too concerned and don't care to get things done right now.

Last season I went through the schedule and predicted a 10-6 record based on who we played. Now – I was WAY off on who we beat/lost to, but it worked out ok.
I look at this schedule, and barring any massive injuries (knocking on wood), I see this team going 12-4/13-3. I dont have confidence the NFC North will be any good minus the Pack (I think the Bears were a fluke….again), and I think the saints,bucs, and KC will regress. Also – I think the Giants and Chargers are beatable.
Now, in the playoffs (assuming I'm correct), I dont know. A team could get hot like the Pack did last year and blow everyone up – or we could cruise back to the SB.
Either way – schedule seems favorable, and I cant wait for it to start (if, of course, it does).

I'm a little concerned the 3 games in 11 days crap in weeks 10-12. Regardless of who you play having to prep for 3 games in that short of a stretch is tough.

Anyone else notice the vikings games are 315, and monday night. Unless favre's coming back?? Shouldn't those be noon games. Vikes are prob gonna be a wreck this year

It is nice to see the Vikings coming to Green Bay in November rather than September/October like they have been.
Thanksgiving in Detroit could be tough, the Lions have made strides the past couple of years and they always play hard on Thanksgiving. And let's not foget we lost to them last season.
I see a lot of games where teams will be wanting revenge – Bears, Falcons, Giants, etc. But I also can see the Packers playing well in these games too.
Nick Says:
April 21, 2011 at 8:30 am |
the Pack will have a massive target on their backs all year bc of the super bowl win. This will make the whole season hard. Lesser teams and QB's would fold under this pressure – but I'm pretty sure ARodg is nearly unflappable.
PackerBelle Says:
April 21, 2011 at 8:46 am
I agree that they have a target on their back. I just think some of these games there will be more of a motivation than just wanting to beat the champs. The Giants we embarassed and knocked out of playoff contention. The Falcons we embarassed in Atlanta and stopped them from getting their first playoff win in awhile. And the Bears we came into their house and beat them to win the Halas trophy and go to the Super Bowl.
I do agree that A-Rodg is fairly unflappable. And we have a lot of good players coming back from IR. Assuming the season gets played, I think this could be another good year for the Pack.

Yeah, I don't worry about Rodgers and feeling the pressure anymore. Not after he endured the first couple Favre/Vikings games, the NFC championship game, and the Superbowl. He handled the massive pressure in each of those games and played well in all of them.
But, I agree with PackerBelle in that you will have some teams that have their game with the Packers circled on the schedule the day training camp starts. No game will be more important to the Bears and their fans then week 3. I think many of them would trade their season to put a beat down on the Packers in week 3. The Giants and Falcons know if they want to take the next step they will have to beat the Packers. Simply put, the Packers are going to get their opponents best effort every single week. That will be a good thing come playoff time.

Jolly's case surprisingly was resolved today. His received five years probation and mandatory rehab for his 2008 arrest. His second arrest this year was dismissed pending him not violating his probation terms for the 2008 arrest. He was ordered to spend 90 days in rehab. Early August would be the earliest he would get out of rehab if he meets the requirements of the facility. I'm guessing he probably will not be close to being in playing shape for 2011 and regardless I bet the NFL suspends him for another year. Someone probably gives him a shot in 2012 to make a team but I'm guessing it won't be TT.
Travis Says:
April 21, 2011 at 4:40 pm |
I just hope Jolly realizes he needs to focus more on straightening out his life right now than to worry about football.
First he screwed up his career in football. Had a perfect opportunity that only few get a chance to experience, and he screwed it up.
And because he hasn't learned from the past, he's on track to screw up his life. He's going from famous (he was somewhat with potential to be really famous) to a guy with nothing left in his life.
I had hope for him after his first bust. I thought, you know what, I think he's smart enough to realize what just happened. What he was a part of, and was risking losing. Maybe during a season, being part of this great team, especially around some great people like A rod and Jennings, he was happy, and had no problem being a good guy. But when he goes back home to his "friends," he no longer has that thought inside that helps guide him in the right direction.
I lost hope. I don't think he gets it. As hard as it is to say, its his fault, he deserved this. I just hope that he can figure things out. Focus on getting his life back. He screwed up his football, lets hope he doesn't screw up his life. He already threw a lot of it away, I hope he doesn't let go of the rest. He might not have football, but I hope he realizes there is a lot to life to live for, and its not his "friends" back home that seem to help him go in the wrong direction

I think that if Jolly can manage to stay clean (a major 'if' at this point, to be sure), and serve out his suspension without further incident, and stay healthy, someone will give him a chance.
The guy was a playmaker in '09; if he ever gets reinstated there's bound to be at least one team willing to give him a chance to make plays on their behalf.

MQTT (definitely) coming to MQJuly 8th, 2010 - 10 Comments
IBM has formally announced its plans for bringing MQTT support to MQ. Unlike the preview announcement made previously, this includes the concrete details on what is being done, including the planned availability date – August 27th, 2010.
Known as MQ Telemetry, this will allow applications to use the MQTT v3 protocol to communicate with their MQ queue manager. A pair of client libraries are provided for applications to use, in both C and Java.
An advanced client is also provided – the MQ Telemetry daemon for devices. This is based on RSMB that was previously only available via IBM alphaWorks on an evaluation license.
A key part of this will be a much clearer statement on the use of the MQTT protocol itself – something the community has needed for some time.
The formal announcement is here and the MQ product pages have been updated here.

Many farmers are making long range plans to manage crop production risk in 2013 in the wake of some of the latest weather forecasts for less than favorable crop growing conditions. With lower crop insurance premiums for much of the Corn Belt and lower soil moisture anticipated, your neighborly crop insurance agent may be doing land office business in early March.
USDA's Risk Management Agency (RMA) recently released maps showing 2013 premium changes for corn and soybeans, compared to 2012, which were lower than 2011 in states where new ratings were tested. And despite a significant drought across two-thirds of the nation and subsequent high market prices that crop insurance uses to reimburse subscribers, rates for crop insurance premiums will be going down in many Cornbelt states for corn and soybeans. RMA, which oversees the crop insurance program, says its plans to change the way premiums are calculated will be implemented.
Compared to 2012,corn and soybean premiums will change in many states. Find your state and grain on this series of maps (pdf).
Some of the changes proposed by RMA were tested with success in 2012 and more will be implemented in 2013. The rates will be phased in to prevent significant cost changes. That meant in 2012, USDA's trial premiums took in less money than would have been expected. The changes to the premiums are based on recommendations from industry experts:
- Weather data will be incorporated in a way that rare events (drought) is carefully weighted.
- Prevented planting and replant payments will be based on weather and not state borders.
- More weight will be given to recent years to reflect current agronomic practices.
How does your yield compare to your county yield? Your premium may go up or down, says USDA, "RMA will also update factors that account for differences in risk across individual growers as indicated by their own average yield compared to the county average yield. To the extent that a grower's average yield is above the midpoint yield (or reference yield) for the county, his or her premium rate is reduced and vice-versa. These updates are based upon loss data accumulated over the last several years."
2013 Weather Predictions
But will crop insurance really be needed in 2013? Your guess is as good as your neighbor's guess, but the weather folks are talking up a storm about the potential for dry conditions in the coming year, at the minimum! The drought will likely continue through next year, according to Illinois State Climatologist Jim Angel. He told a Mississippi River conference Friday, "So whatthat means is that it's going to take a long time to get out of that mess. I don't see tropical storms running through Oklahoma any time soon. It's going to be a long, slow recovery from this particular drought."
Angel's assessment is corroborated by Iowa State University Meteorologist Elwynn Taylor who says the 2012 crop pulled the moisture out of 8 ft. of soil, requiring 16 additional inches of precipitation to return to normal conditions, and adds, "It is not likely that subsoil moisture will be fully replenished by the beginning of the 2013 planting season." He says such deficits increases the risk of low yields, and prevents recovery of stream, river and pond levels to normal.
Taylor agrees also with Angel's "long slow recovery." He says, "Severely deficit precipitation years of the magnitude of 2012 do not recover to normal annual precipitation in a single year. Accordingly, an additional year of significant moisture stress is considered to be not unlikely and a fourth consecutive year of below-trend U.S. corn yield a distinct possibility. The probabilities will become more definitive in the early weeks of 2013 as the likely phase of the El Niño/La Niña for the growing season becomes manifest." Taylor says the trend corn yield for 2013 should be near 160 bu., but he is forecasting about 147 bu.
July 22, 2010, was the birth date of the latest La Niña, which brought the 2012 drought. Elwynn Taylor says the Pacific equatorial sea surface temperature, which determines either El Niño or La Niña conditions, has been trending toward another La Niña since late summer.
The eastern Corn Belt has a better chance of escaping more drought than the western Corn Belt in the eyes of Ken Scheeringa. He is on the climatology staff at Purdue and says the Gulf of Mexico is the key to breaking the drought, "The Gulf is a major source of our moisture and it's really hard to shut off that water supply for an extended time. Our research shows the longest Indiana droughts have lasted about 18 months. The state can have frequent minor droughts, but if they happen in the colder months the impacts are less than if they happen during the growing season." With no direct path to Gulf moisture, Scheeringa said it's more difficult for the western states to break a drought pattern. "Once western droughts take hold, they can last multiple years, or even a decade."
Weather specialists are making a case for continued drought conditions into 2013 and possibly beyond with the re-emergence of a La Niña climate trend and a less costly opportunity to manage that potential production risk. Regarding the weather, the 2012 crop removed 16 in. of water from the topsoil and subsoil and it will take a long time to regain that lost moisture. Forecasts for 2013 point to short soil moisture throughout much of the Corn Belt. At the same time, USDA's newly released crop insurance ratings indicate most Corn Belt states will have lower corn and soybean premiums, despite the drought of 2012 and lower crop yields. The reason is that Corn Belt farmers have been paying more premiums than they have been getting back, and the system is supposed to have equal dollars in premiums and indemnity payments.

I'm trying to find out if anyone knows of a script that replicates a certain Cinema 4D behaviour. In C4D, when you import an image into a material, it asks you whether you want to create a copy of the image at the project location. So in AE terms that would mean I would get an alert asking me if I want to place a copy of the selected image into the same folder (at the finder level) as the AE project (or a specified folder). This would be massively handy since I have a large collection of stock images on a separate drive and currently I have to manually move the file into place if I want everything to tie together nicely.
If such a script does not in fact exist, it's something I'd be happy to pay for over on AEscripts.
Many thanks

New strategy expands collaboration among agencies and with the private sector.
The intelligence community, as part of a new interagency effort to counter cyberspying, will consider feeding questions to U.S. attorneys for suspects to aid espionage investigations, federal officials said on Wednesday.
Officials announced the "Administration Strategy on Mitigating the Theft of U.S. Trade Secrets" the day after Mandiant, a highly-regarded computer forensics firm, released data linking the Chinese army to a massive cyberespionage operation against American companies. In unveiling the plan, the attorney general and a State Department undersecretary mentioned crimes perpetrated by Chinese hackers, but did not focus on that specific threat.
Counterintelligence officers "are considering an expansion of collaboration" where they could "introduce questions for attorneys to pose to offenders during the investigation process," according to the strategy.
Another tactic could be examining ways to tie plea bargains and sentencing decisions to suspects' willingness to cooperate with counterintelligence officers during damage assessments, the plan adds.
Frank Montoya, national counterintelligence executive for the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, said the intelligence community's role is to identify in instances when there is a foreign nexus, the nations that "are taking advantage of us from a trade secrets perspective." Montoya's office in 2011 made the first U.S. government accusation naming "Chinese actors" as the "world's most active and persistent perpetrators of economic espionage."
Beyond coordinating more inside the government, DNI also must cooperate better with corporate targets, Montoya added.
"The key element of this effort is working together," he said. "It is important that we are able to take the information that we have and share it with those that are most affected." He did not specify what types of intelligence DNI will be willing to share.
The strategy, however, raises concerns about past public-private efforts to understand the data theft problem and alert companies to the risks.
"Despite stringent reporting requirements" for cleared defense contractors, the Defense Security Service "reports that only 10 percent of [contractors] actually provide any sort of reporting in a given year," the plan states.
Corporate security officers have told the government that reporting is too cumbersome and often redundant, with Defense and the FBI seeking the same data but in different formats, according to the report.
The defense industrial base, an estimated $400 billion sector, has at its fingertips a mounting supply of government information and intellectual property stored on unclassified computers, the strategy notes.
Apparently, Obama administration leaders, guided by U.S. IP Enforcement Coordinator Victoria Espinel, had been drafting the plan for months ahead of yesterday's China hacking report, and did not cite the Mandiant study.
The 76-page paper accuses the People's Liberation Army of persistent computer intrusions to snatch U.S. government and industrial secrets. Mandiant's findings mark the first time cyber researchers have published evidence tracing breaches to a Chinese military unit. The revelations were first reported by The New York Times on Monday.
During Wednesday's announcement, Assistant Attorney General Lanny Breuer made first mention of the research during a discussion with business executives. He quoted from a line in the paper that stated, "Since 2006, Mandiant has observed [the alleged PLA wing] compromise 141 companies spanning 20 major industries."
Some technology executives on Wednesday said pegging responsibility for IP theft on specific entities might not be the best initial countermeasure. "I would like to see my industry first understand why are these attacks happening and why did they succeed" in order to minimize the damage, Jack Danahy, IBM director of North American security consulting, said during an interview.

Diagnostic tools
Grundfos has the diagnostic tools to identify whether energy is being wasted in a pumps system and the focus on Life Cycle Costs to show that replacement of an existing pump can save you money.
Does your system waste energy and money?
If a pumps system is wasting energy, Grundfos has the tools to diagnose the problem and optimise the system. When energy accounts for a staggering 85% of the total cost, that's where you can achieve real savings. In many systems, more than half of all the energy consumed by the pumps could be saved.
At Grundfos, we carefully consider the Life Cycle Cost of all our products – quite simply because that's the only way to show the real cost of owning and operating them. The concept covers everything from purchase price through operation to scrap value. Replacement could well be the cheapest option in the long term – and a pump audit could be described as a spot check of the Life Cycle Cost of your system.
Grundfos has developed a pump audit that can determine where losses are occurring in your system. It will then suggest what you can do and how much you will save.
Our Pump Audit will check-up on the efficiency of your pumps. During a test period it will reveal how much energy you could save by switching to a different and maybe more modern pump model. The audit outlines the recommended changes, the energy saving, CO2 reduction and the payback time.
If it is time for a replacement, you will benefit from using our specially developed Internet-based pump sizing tool in the Grundfos Product Center. It can instantly tell you exactly which pump will meet your demands. Grundfos Life Cycle Costs will calculate your costs over the pump's lifetime.

The 21st century will see a revolution in the way information is displayed electronically. Organic electroluminescent displays are envisioned to play a big if not major role in the area of flat panel displays. It may eventually dominate the market in a few years from now. Organic electroluminescent displays can be small such as hand-held or head-mounted displays, or large such as flat panel screens that can be rolled up or hung flat on a wall. Very bright organic light-emitting diodes may find their way one day as solid state light sources and lasers. The control of spontaneous emission using novel nanostructures and photonic crystals is emerging as a new interesting approach for the realization of organic lasers. This book on Organic Electroluminescence is intended for diversified readers such as graduate and postgraduate students in science and engineering, new comers to the field and experts as well. It can be used as a textbook for a graduate course on Organic Electroluminscence or a a good reference for solide state chemists, physicists material scientists and engineers who are interested and/or active in the field.
The book is organized in 11 chapters, which are written by experts in their respective fields of chemistry, physics, material science and electrical engineering. The first and second chapters provide a historical background and an overview of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) based on small molecules and polymers. Chapter 1 serves as a useful introduction to organic electroluminescence and brings the reader up-to-date with the states of the art performance of organice displays based on small molecules. Chapter 2 defines the basic principles governing electroluminescence, including the critical parameters that control the quantum efficiency and control the light output. In addition, the theory and mechanisms of carrier injection and transport in organic semiconductors followed by the electron and hole recombination process are discussed in some details. Chapter 3 addresses the physical properties of organic light-emitting diodes in the space-charge limited regime. Chapter 4 discusses the development and characterization of amorphous materials with high glass transition temperature, and the role they play in carrier transport and injection. Chapter 5 reviews the chemistry of various classes of light-emitting polymers and their uses in OLEDs.
Chapter 6 gives an overview of OLEDs based on phosphorescent rather than fluorescent materials, and discusses several mechanisms giving rise to light-emission such as entergy transfer and directs carrier recombination. Chapter 7 focuses on different structures adopted for achieving lasing in organic solids, and gives an overview of photo-excited organic lasers using organic thin films and photonic crystals.
Future directions for organic solid state lighting and ligh-emitting displays based on OLED technology are summarized in chapters 8 and 9, respectively. A review of the "state-of-the-art" thin film transistors compatible with organic ligh-emitting devices for large area displays is given in chapter 10. In additions, the important underlying technologies for the realization of full color, rigid or flexible organic emissive displays including pixel electronics are addressed in this chapter. Last but not least a review of the differenct patterning approaches that can be applied to organic electro-active materials for display applications is given in chapter 11.

Public Access TV
The Seattle Community College District (SCCD) is Seattle's Public Access Channel manager, operating public access television as Seattle Community Media.
Seattle Community Media not only broadcasts the public access television signal, they also manage all related public access television services, allowing community members to produce and air their own programs on the channel [Comcast Channel 77 / Wave Channel 23]. Services include:
- Access to production tools like cameras, microphones, and editing and studio space.
- Access to stream programs on-demand on the Seattle Community Media website and access to a wide variety of easy-to-use online tools.
- Ability to control the messaging about your programs that television viewers and online viewers will see.
- Ability to upload your finished programs from anywhere you have access to the web and to schedule when your program will air.
Becoming a Seattle Community Media member/producer provides residents with a venue to broadcast their message to viewers throughout King County. The equipment is available for producers to use at the North Seattle Community College facility, or to borrow for use outside of the facility.
Community members interested in using the services, facilities and equipment of Seattle Community Media can become a "member" for a small annual fee. More information on membership is available here.
In July 2011, the Seattle Community College District (SCCD) became Seattle's Public Access Channel manager. Prior to SCCD, Seattle Community Access Network (SCAN) served as the City's public access channel manager. With a contract expiration of December 31, 2010, the City issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) to seek a public access provider for the next contract period. The RFP reflected a new model for Seattle public access television, based on the belief that advances in digital media production and distribution technologies create new, lower-cost alternatives for community and individual expression. The new model sought to rely less on financial support from the City and to supplement traditional television production techniques with new social media technologies.
The planning for the RFP and future operation of public access television included Seattle's Community Technology Advisory Board (CTAB) and Office of Cable Communications seeking input from viewers, producers and operators, representatives of the film and video industry, non-profit organizations, community groups and interested members of the public. An online survey and questionnaire were used, along with CTAB hosting a public workshop and conducting targeted interviews with limited English speaking producers and viewers. For results of the online survey and questionnaire, see the below links.
For more details on City's contract with the Seattle Community College District VI, including RFP and SCCD proposal documents, see Seattle City Ordinance 123640

Today a group of about 15 of us celebrated the birthday of three friends. Duke, Nancy and Pierre were the celebrities of the day.
A smaller group of us began the celebration at Afton State Park at 830 for a few hours of running through the woods. It snowed a bit last night so we were able to run upon a light dusting of the white stuff; just enough to make the leaves slippery.
John, Eve, Duke, Tom, Don, Pierre and I headed out. I spent the first hour running with Tom, Don and Pierre. Before I knew it I was running with John, Eve and Duke-wondering how I had ended up with this fast group. As they were charging full bore up a hill I turned around, looking back for my slower group, but didn't see them. I yelled up front that the fearsome threesome had extra baggage along with them and would have to slow down. They laughed and slowed down considerably for me.
On a recovered good day I can't keep up with this group so 1 week post 100 I certainly can't! We had a great time as John took us through the deer paths, up and down the ravine, over and under the fallen trees. I was sweating as hard as I was breathing as I was telling Eve about Javelina. After a few hours Duke and I headed back to the Visitor Center to meet the rest of the group as John and Eve went on for a longer run. What a great way to start the day!
Back at the Center we celebrated the Birthday's with laughs, gifts and food.
As I pulled on my jacket and waved goodbye to everyone, Eve stated: Congratulations to Julie on her run. Let's all clap for her! All of a sudden, the Center was full of the noise of clapping hands. All of my friends-clapping for and congratulating me on Javelina Jundred. Isn't that something? I stood there, with my mouth open, unable to quite believe it.
What an awesome group of friends.
Hard to believe that one week ago, right now, I was running through the desert, at 87F. Today I am running through the snow, at 22F. I was only able to shoot one picture and it came out as a movie. The camera batteries don't like 'cold' temperatures!

Pennsic Independent Battlefield Correspondent
Don Antonio Patriquin of the East Kingdom set the tone for Monday's Rapier Champions' tournament by capturing the opening bout over Lord Martin of Hawksworth of the Middle Kingdom in a matchup of kingdom champions.
Don Antonio's teammates followed with five successive victories, and when the tournament was over, roughly two hours after it started, the East had scored an impressive victory with 11 fencers still alive after the last Midrealmer was eliminated in the double-elimination tournament.
The victory produces a war point for the East, one of three rapier war points being contested this year. The Rapier Champions' tournament featured teams of 30 on each side, 20 each from the East and Middle and 10 from the allies' kingdoms. Prior to the tourney, the king and queen of the East elevated Jean-Paul Justin Casse to the Order of the Golden Rapier.
Don Jean-Paul was one of seven Eastern fencers who suffered only one loss in the tournament. Four fencers for the Eastern side went unbeaten. They were Don Antonio, Don Arioch The Quick, both of the East as well as Lord Tora Taka of the West and Duke Ragnar Blackhammer of Atlantia.
The last remaining Midrealm ally was Don Robert McFarland of Ansteorra, who was 5-2 in the tourney, losing his final bout to Don Arioch. The last Midrealm fencer left was Warder Lazarus Gauge, who was 8-2, and was defeated in the tournament's last match by Lord Tora.
Today's fencing includes the ®thelmearc Youth tournament at 10 a.m., the Ansteorran tourney at 11, and the popular Atlantian Five-Man Melee tourney at 2 p.m. Wednesday's fencing includes the East Kingdom tournament at 10 a.m., the Broken Field battle for a war point at 1 p.m., the Siege of LaRochelle at 3 p.m. at the fort, and the MDA Benefit tournament at 4 p.m.


text: In advance of Sunday's Super Bowl halftime show, Madonna has released a video for her new single, "Give Me All Your Luvin.'" It's worth hearing, if only to get better acquainted with the snoozy new number sandwiched between "Into The Groove" and "Vogue" at the game. The song tries hard contemporary, awkwardly inserting Nicki Minaj and M.I.A. into a mid-song dubstep breakdown, and is just as aggressive about re-establishing Madonna in a prominent pop-culture role. With its cheerleader "Madonna!" chant and self-aggrandizing lyrics—"Every record sounds the same, you've gotta step into my world"—"Luvin" is as much a commercial for the forthcoming MDNA as its own song. (Congrats "Don't Tell Me," you're still the "last" great Madonna single.) Check out the video below.

Liposuction in Annandale, VA
Liposuction helps patients with unwanted areas of fat accumulation beneath the skin that are not responsive to diet or exercise. Liposuction is a contouring procedure, not a substitute for weight loss. It can be a beneficial addition to a combined weight loss and exercise program.
Liposuction cannot change underlying dimensions, but it can improve contour significantly when subcutaneous fat is the problem. The best liposuction candidates are those who are at or close to their ideal body weight and size, yet still have persistent areas of unwanted fat accumulation.
The most common areas that benefit from liposuction are the abdomen, hips and thighs, although other areas can be treated such as the arms and neck. If you feel that more than one area needs to be corrected, liposuction may be combined with other procedures, such as Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck), to maximize your overall benefits.
Liposuction is a safe procedure when appropriate guidelines are followed. We always have an anesthesiologist with you during liposuction to ensure that you are comfortable and safe. It is usually performed on an out-patient basis, so we limit the amount of fat removed during any one procedure.
During liposuction, a small metal tube called a cannula is connected to a suction machine. We insert the cannula through a small incision into the area of the body adjacent to the unwanted fat. The fat is then aspirated or "removed." Because the incisions and the cannula are small, the resulting scars are usually inconspicuous. Infiltration of physiological saline solutions allows easier removal of the fatty tissue, less blood loss and added post-operative comfort.
Suction-assisted lipectomy is a leading-edge technique that is ideal for removing localized collections of excess fatty tissue. Typical areas for suction-assisted lipectomy include the hips, thighs, buttocks, abdomen, as well as the facial and neck areas. Suction-assisted lipectomy has increased rapidly in popularity because of its minimal scarring, excellent results* and high degree of safety. Tumescent, Micro-aire, ultrasound and laser-assisted techniques are all options your plastic surgeon may discuss with you.
After liposuction, you will be placed in an elastic support garment, similar to a girdle, while you are still asleep. This garment will cover and compress the treated areas to limit fluid accumulation and provide gentle, balanced pressure, assuring a smooth final contour. You will wear this garment continuously for two to four weeks, except when bathing.
Some patients experience bruising and swelling after liposuction. Others experience "skin rippling." These conditions will improve considerably in the first few weeks, but the final result* can take several months to be fully visible. Many patients are able to resume normal activities, including walking and driving, in five to seven days. You should postpone strenuous exercise for three weeks.
CPSdocs has been helping Annandale and Northern, VA get slimmer with liposuction since 1986 and we'd be happy for you to come in for a free consult.
*Results may vary.

Google is fine, it's doing what it's designed to do and it gets better at it day on day. Users, on the other hand, are as wonky as they've always been. Fake news and polarised opinions aren't new. That's how it's always been. Difference is now it's dynamic and interactive. The internet gives more opportunity for dissenting opinions to your pet worldview to be encountered, not less. The other side of the coin = adherents to your pet worldview can group together much more easily and ramble on about how the world would be just fucking ticketty if they could convince everyone to "come here and listen to the poets of the cause wax lyrical".You know me and ideologies - fuck the lot of them. Even the "good" ones. Same shit. Double edged sword. Only this time I fall on the - more harm than they're worth - side of the debate. It's the internet, you can disagree if you like and tell me why I'm the lowest form of scum. I call that net progress. Room for improvement? Sure. There's probably always gonna be room for improvement. All I'm saying is that if you want to stop people only reading things and discussing things with people that support their pet worldview, google is the least of your worries. Anyway, you can rest assured google will be on it. Just like Facebook are on it with the fake news thing. It's easy to criticise those guys or those corporate behemoths for the bad things they've gotten up to but that's just one edge of the sword. We wouldn't be where we are right now without the efforts of them and others like them. The world is connected. We are connected to information and to each other in a way we've never been before as a species. The potential is off the charts but, as usual, we're hanging out in little enclaves and pointing fingers at those "inhuman -------'s who just need kicked in the teeth harder and they'll come around to our way of thinking".If I was forced to choose between trusting Sergey and Larry and trusting the fucking united states government to bring us closer to resolving any issues relating to this topic or others like it? Come on. Srsly?

The thing is, without a concerted effort from Google to invent a technology that really doesn't yet exist specifically to undermine their profit model directly, or dangerous thought-policing counter-censorship legislation, the only way to effect the system as it is now is to impersonate something. Either impersonate users so Google changes its rankings, or impersonate content so Google delivers your information to people who think they're getting something else.Either way, it's unlikely to gain any momentum at all without a genuine viral movement that convinces people who aren't in on the plan to participate unwittingly. And once you get to that point, you're really talking about changing minds anyway so you're left with the same problem you started with.
