You know, a lot of us have kind of started just shaking our heads and laughing casually about topless pictures showing up, which is probably a relief for anyone who has nightmares about ex-boyfriends posting their private photos online. We seem to have embraced the fact that, under their clothes, everyone is naked right now. And sometimes things happen, like paparazzi taking pictures of you when you're sunbathing in a remote house while on vacation in France (where topless sunbathing is pretty common). You know, like what just happened to Kate Middleton. When that happens, most of us just either shrug or say "wow, paparazzi are really invasive." Not actress Emma Roberts! She tweets: More

Stüssy x Beavis and Butt-Head.
Photo: Courtesy of Stüssy
If you're anything like us, you embody the couch-locked pop-culture pundits Beavis and Butt-Head to the extent that you're maaaaaybe too lazy for appointment viewing. Though the resurrected run, aka Season 9, JUUUUUUST ended and that's all dreadfully it does also mark the AWESOME occasion of the entire 12 episode run being available for viewing online. DO THE MATH: this means you can watch it all on your iPad or laptop or Kindle Fire or whatever IN BED, which is the most luxurious viewing experience of all.
The only thing that gilds that ol' lily of a lazytime supine 'splosion is if you're WEARING a Beavis And Butt-Head x Stüssy crew neck sweatshirt with cashmere leggings (OH WE KNOW) while doing so...and drinking an alcoholic milkshake from a sippy cup (WHILE LYING DOWN). The thing you should know about your new and very necessary jumper is that its existence is partly owed to the birth of one man (NO, NOT MIKE JUDGE, but good guess). This dude goes by the name of Adam Jay Weissman and he is not only the art director at Stüssy and responsible for special T-shirt projects like Stüssy x Marvel, he is also the producer and percussionist for L.A.-based R&B, pop, soul, "cosmic sci-fi" trio Pollyn.
He's cool so we interviewed him and learned about what inspires him, what he loves about the CLASSIC MTV icons, and how the Beavis and Butt-Head-Stüssy collab almost never happened.

My Points | |
My Games |
After another LCG, I can say that the best distribution of Core set was gone, and COC. I did not like that of W: I nor the TLOTR, I like having three copies of each card and I do not like left over cards. So I would like to take into consideration when to get the core of this game.
The best thing would be to have three copies of each card in the core, but that seems complicated, still prefer to have two copies of each card rather than three copies of each and one copy of other. Even better is to have a copy of each card and more variety of cards.
This way to buy a core, core and a half (one with a friend) or three cores could have all the cards x3 without a remainder.
Sorry for my bad english.
Page 1 of 1 (4 messages) | 1 |
I agree completely. I think we all would prefer a complete core set, where you don't have to buy another one for full deck-building options.
But if not possible, because FFG wants more profit, then they could at least make a core set where 2 copies are enough for full deck-building capabilities, and 3 copies for full options for 2 people. I think that is fair.
Fear is the mind-killer.
I feel the same. I will not be buying this game unless the Core Set breaks away from the previous pattern of providing 1x or 2x of cards that I'd rather have a complete set of. I love Star Wars, and FFG picking up the license is a dream come true for me. But the experience of buying three Core Sets and thus having a bunch of extra cards I'm not going to use isn't something that particularly draws me to the LCG model.
The only exception I will make is if the 1x cards are, in fact, limited to one-per-deck. But I don't think FFG has included a "Unique" mechanic like that in their previous games, have they?
"Truth has power. And if we all gravitate toward similar ideas, maybe we do so because those ideas are true…written deep within us. And when we hear the truth, even if we don't understand it, we feel that truth resonate within us…vibrating with our unconscious wisdom. Perhaps the truth is not learned by us, but rather, the truth is re-called…re-membered…re-cognized…as that which is already inside us." Peter Solomon, The Lost Symbol
I agree that they need a new strategy for the core set. If they're concerned about money, fine. I've been thinking for while now that (if it remained coop like LotR) I'd pay the price of a core set for the additional player cards that bring it up to 3x so that all the encounter cards and cards that were originally 3x weren't wasted. The fact that so many cards are produced with no reason just disgusts me. Alternatively, a core set that started with 3x would be great. To me it's just the wasted cards that bug me from an environmental point of view.

A Game of Thrones has many cards like this. The Plot cards are of course one-per-deck unless they state otherwise, but there are a few player cards that stipulate only one can be used in a deck. What's more, I think they're in expansions that include 3 of the card. I can't remember off the top of my head, though...

I have been waiting for an ember to inferno remake for years and with nick's new drumming style i think its the perfect time to do it. My thought on it is that even though they are making a new album they may be able to warm up with a couple of songs from ember to inferno. By the time they have the album 1/2 done they could release a couple songs to ease the fans suspense a little bit. After all a new album could take a year to come out and its hard to compare nick to travis after only hearing one song. Shattering the skys above was amazing but waiting for a new albums already driving me nuts. If they did release a remake of ember to inferno they could always to it in warmup volumes and put it into one album later. If you like the idea please fill out the poll and if anyone has any ideas please suggest something. |

Hmm... I'm not sure. I think Ember is one of their best albums musically, but I'd be content with just a remaster, and, as a stretch, possibly re-recorded vocals, since Matt's voice has significantly improved. I'd rather hear stuff from a new album, though. |

BMC Medical Research Methodology is an open access, peer-reviewed journal that considers articles on methodological approaches to healthcare research. Articles on the methodology of epidemiological research, clinical trials and meta-analysis/systematic review are particularly encouraged, as are empirical studies of the associations between choice of methodology and study outcomes. BMC Medical Research Methodology does not aim to publish articles describing scientific methods or techniques: these should be directed to the BMC journal covering the relevant biomedical subject area.
It is journal policy to publish work deemed by peer reviewers to be a coherent and sound addition to scientific knowledge and to put less emphasis on interest levels, provided that the research constitutes a useful contribution to the field.

Combine is critical to how Michigan's Mike Martin stacks up in loaded DT draft
Melanie Maxwell | AnnArbor.com
Mike Martin is one of more than 300 players who will descend upon Indianapolis this week, each trying to prove his mettle and wit to NFL brass.
He has more at stake than a lot of them.
Martin was a four-year contributor for the Michigan football team, and he missed only one start in his final three years. He became a star, despite playing for two of the Wolverines' all-time worst defenses in 2009 and '10.
As a senior, Martin was one of the most disruptive players in the Big Ten and anchored a resurgent defense that finished 17th in the country.
Scouts like him, too. NFL Network draft analyst Mike Mayock, one of the best in the business, said he thinks Martin will "be tough to get rid of. He'll be in a rotation."
It's not a matter of whether Martin will be drafted, but when. And that's the tricky part, as he is a member of one of the deepest defensive tackle classes in years.
Mayock, though, said Martin could climb into the early rounds with a strong combine.
Headed to the NFL Combine
- Molk responds to critics of his size, injury history
- Molk on playing through pain at the Sugar Bowl
- Martin wants to set NFL Combine bench press record
- Martin draws attention at Senior Bowl
- ESPN analyst believes in Hemingway's chances
- Ex-Michigan strength coach Mike Barwis is training six former players for the combine and draft
"When you combine those two things, the nice thing for him is I think the 3-4 teams will think he's strong enough to anchor on the nose, and I think the 4-3 teams will see that he's quick enough to play defensive tackle for them."
Martin will be part of a three-man Michigan contingent at the combine. He will be joined by center David Molk and receiver Junior Hemingway, each of whom will have a four-day cycle to audition for NFL clubs via physical and mental tests, as well as one-on-one interviews.
Molk's four-day run begins Wednesday. Hemingway follows on Thursday, and Martin gets under way Friday.
Martin stands 6-foot-1, which is not prototypical size for an NFL defensive lineman. However, his brute strength makes him an attractive pro talent, and he's weighing an impressive 307 pounds.
He said a strong showing at the Senior Bowl in January quieted some of the doubts regarding his size.
"There were a few question marks about me, I guess, about me overall, and to go there and play against the nation's best and do as well as I did opened up a lot of eyes," Martin said by phone recently.
"I was one of the best, physically in-shape tackles there, I was moving around great and I was doing very well against guys in one-on-ones. There's nothing I feel like they can pin on me when it comes to my height, besides being what it is. So, it's not hurting me."
Martin, a two-time strength and conditioning All-American, said he's in the best shape of his life after working out for the combine with former Michigan strength coach Mike Barwis.
He's expected to threaten the bench-press record that was set last year by former Oregon State defensive tackle Stephen Paea (49 reps at 225 pounds).
Martin said the Houston Texans have expressed the most interest in him so far, but several other teams have been in contact with him and agent Rick Smith as well.
He is the No. 13 defensive tackle according to ESPN, up from No. 15 in December. He is No. 10 according to CBS, up from 14th in December, and he has climbed 51 spots in the overall rankings to No. 96.
Last year, the 13th tackle was taken in the fourth round. The 10th went in third round. But again, this year's talent pool is much deeper.
This week will say a lot about whether Martin's stock sinks or swims.

In springtime, you know you're in Vidalia country without reading the signs. As soon as you leave the piney woods of Fort Stewart, the Army base where American troops trained for the Persian Gulf war, you come upon an amazing sight: row after row of burlap bags stretching across the sandy fields as far as the eye can see, full of onions drying in the Georgia sun.
A local curiosity only 25 years ago, Vidalia onions have joined the ranks of seasonal foods keenly awaited by American consumers. The name is protected by law now, like that of Bresse chickens or Coca-Cola. Vidalias can be grown only in the distinctive soil of 13 contiguous counties between Macon and Savannah in southeast Georgia, plus parts of seven others.
In 1997, the total yield from 15,800 acres was 3.5 million pounds, worth $89 million -- big money in a rural, historically poor area where crossroads hamlets bear names like Daisy, Hopeulikit and Ohoopee.

First tea of the morning…..
Happy Mother's Day to all of the mothers, aunts, mothers to be, and the good people who stand in for mothers who cannot be there for a multitude of reasons. I lost my mother almost 14 years ago, and I am so thankful for my friends as well as my MIL who have helped to fill her role a little. Me, as a mother myself, I know there are things I could do and could have done better. But, I would not trade this gift for the world.
I am doing a "Parade of Panyangs" of sorts in celebration today. I started with this one, and I have another sent from the lovely Dinosara that she brought back from her trip to China. Then I will probably throw in my bargain basement Panyang from Upton that I also love. I might even brew up a cup of Keemun Mao Feng. It is an odd Mother's Day for us, because we are scrambling to get some work done on the outside of the house involving door frame replacement and painting before we have contractors back on Monday or Tuesday. And the kids are pretty swamped with homework, since there are about 10 days left of school.
This one is chocolatey, has a bit of heft to the mouthfeel, a bit of malt, and very smooth, plus there may be a little fruitiness…plums, maybe? It is very rich, and it seems that the big difference between this and my beloved Kemmun Mao Feng is that KMF has just a hint of smoke (which I will be double checking this later). I was looking at the leaves on this one compared to my Keemun Mao Feng, and they are really very similar, except that the Keemun Mao Feng's leaves are longer and a bit wider dry. I was also comparing it to the Tan Yang Dinosara brought from China, and her version is much more golden tipped as well as longer than TYTJ. It is a definite love for me in the tea world.
Usual mug method.

Early voting off to a strong start in McHenry Co.
Election judges had their hands full with early voting Monday – the first day Illinoisans could cast ballots in the Nov. 6 election.
Long lines greeted voters at stations across the county. Early voting kicked off in Illinois a week later than in years past.
"It's wild out there," McHenry County Clerk Kathy Schultz said. "People are standing in line. Early voting judges are getting flustered."

pipe dream !!
not even in liyari or naudero
Kiyun kay OBAMA HARAM Maal nahi khata
even if zardari son of the ***** does so , can't be as respectful as obama is for his nation.
Because he is not muslim....
Yehi waja hai key drone aur air strikes,dosre mulkoon mein environmental pollution aur invasions ke bawajood USA ka status barqarar hai aur Muslim nations??
Whehever Obama and Biden goes to this Burger store in Washington during lunck break then they sit and wait in a queue like a normal person...yeah they do have a protocol but they try to get as close with public as possible and look at rulers of Pakistan,Arab nations and many other Muslim and devleoping nations. Kitne ministers hain jo key dhaabe per jakar aam public wala khana khayein charpai per bethkar?Yehi hunsi mazaq kissi Saudi ya UAE ke king ke saath koi aam aadmi kare,tau kya hojaye wahaan?
Obama slave is on election campaign. Don't get confused.
Our politicians do mix up but just like Obama during election campaign.
Our president will ask for 10% or 50% or may be 100% for this day's earning, at the same time if you shake hand with zardari, make sure that you have FIVE FINGERS AFTER THAT, and make sure that your pocket has not been picked, he can do anything for 10% oh I am sorry 100% now a days.
No matter what you say about American Gov't. They do take care of their people but at what cost, thats another question
This is called a photo-op couple of months before elections.
President Zardari Packing Things For Flood Effected People
Barack Obama hugging someone is topi drama near elections. Barack Obama bailed out the richest segment of American society giving middle class segment a chankana.

Kitnapped — cops hunt woman who stole pet shop cat
A CUTE cat was cruelly KITNAPPED from a pet shop - after a woman shoved the animal in her handbag.
The shocking crime was captured on the store's security cameras.
The film shows young children picking the kitten up from its basket before their mother snatches it from them and throws it into her handbag.
Police and the RSPCA are investigating the callous theft and appealing for information about the mystery woman.
The timid black and white feline - called Little Boy - was not even for sale.
CARDIFF pet shop security camera catches woman stuffing kitten into her handbag
Pet shop owner Carol Ivory was looking after the young moggy and its mum for a friend who is on holiday.
Carol, 60, said: "I noticed the kitten was missing and checked the CCTV system to see where he had gone.
"I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw what happened.
"The children obviously took a shine to the kitten and you can see on the film that they want it and she is going to steal it.
"But the way she chucks it in the bag so roughly is really upsetting.
"You just know that Little Boy won't be cared for and looked after properly if that's the way he will be treated."
The woman was in a group of people who entered Carol's shop in Roath, Cardiff, at 11am last Saturday.
The shop's video shows two men, two women and three children walking around looking at the animals on display.
After three minutes and 40 seconds, one of the children is seen holding the male kitten.
One of the women takes the animal from the child and motions for the other woman to hand over her handbag, which she does.
Holding the kitten in one hand, she opens the handbag and throws the animal inside before closing it again.
The video then switches to another camera angle, overlooking the shop entrance, where the two men are standing.
About a minute later, the footage shows the women and children walking out of the shop, with one of the children holding the handbag.
One of the men pays for an item before following the rest of the group out of the shop with the other man.
Lifelong animal lover Carol only noticed the kitten was missing an hour later.
She said: "It was the shock as much as anything - you don't think anyone would do that.
"The thought of a defenceless little kitten being with them is just horrifying.
She added: "He's so good and very quiet, he doesn't stand up for himself.
"What are they going to do to him if he makes a mess on the carpet out of fright?"
A reward has been put up for information leading to the safe return of the kitten to the Albany Pets shop in the Welsh capital.
Carol said she was so upset she would not be renewing her licence to sell pets.
South Wales Police confirmed the incident had been reported and an investigation was ongoing.
A spokeswoman said: "We are examining the CCTV footage and appealing for information about the people filmed inside the shop at the time."

You thought I died, huh?
Nope. Sorry. But I have been thinking about you, my lovely readers, and I know I've totally been neglecting you. So, I'm gonna try to sum up the summer in a post:
We'll start on Felix and my six-year anniversary, because that's the last time I posted. Above, we're at the Elk Reserve in Point Reyes. It's an amazing hike if you ever get the chance- water on both sides, cool breeze, dry air. There are elk (camouflaged) behind me, and that is me impersonating an elk hiding from a predator. I know, you can just give me the Oscar now.

In the stage "TRADITIONS OF THE TRADE" you have to go inside the toilets located on first floor. An easy way to find it out is to enter the room named "HOTEL WING CLOSED" and go to bathrooms.
Go down to the hallway at the bottom floor of the hotel. You will see the ghost that walks through into a wall. Move to a dead plant in the corner of the hallway near to a locked door. Then, go back towards the hallway where you saw the ghost. Make sure you have your Fibre Wire out before continuing. Heading down the corridor, you will see the ghost who walks into the wall. Get your Fibre Wire ready then get behind the ghost before it disappears into the wall. If you are quick, you can strangle the ghost with your Fibre Wire, which now flickers on the ground. You can now drag the ghost around the hotel.
Start a two player game and do not have a second player play the game. Throw a perfect game by striking out every batter. Save the game in the bottom of the 9th with two stikes and two outs. Finish the game, collect the points, and save options. Reload the saved game and repeat this as many times as needed to get an unlimited amount of points.

You enter the black and white death sequence when your health bar is reduced to zero. You have only a few seconds of life left before you collapse to the ground, but there's a sneaky way to evade your impending demise. You return to life if you manage to score four consecutive headshots on four different enemies during the death sequence. Your health bar is replenished by only a small margin when you return to life like this, so quickly move out of harm's way.

I'm not ashamed to admit that for much of my life, I loved the version of green bean casserole made with a few cans and pop-the-top crispy onions sprinkled over the top. It's what most of us have grown up knowing and that flavor profile has a special place in my heart (stomach?) Aside from mashed potatoes, green bean casserole was always my other favorite side dish at Thanksgiving. So much so that while some people may have considered it a once a year kind of recipe, I made it on plenty of regular days not involving turkey. Now that making things from scratch has become a passion of mine, a homemade version of green bean casserole has been high on my list of recipes to make over.
I've tried a few versions in the past and while good, they really didn't quite mimic the flavors of the classic. I was honestly ready to give up and go back to the cans, but finally I found a recipe I love enough to take the place of the original. Though it requires a bit more effort than opening cans, it is still quite simple to make. Blanch green beans, make a quick mushroom sauce, and fry shallots while the casserole bakes. The casserole portion can be made in advance and refrigerated. I'm not sure exactly how long the fried shallots stay crisp for, but I fried mine a few hours before using them and they were still nice and crisp so they last at least that long. Now I can finally say with certainly that green bean casserole has made its way back into my ranks of favorite turkey day sides. Even though I had it this weekend, I'm really looking forward to Thursday :)
From Scratch Green Bean Casserole
Printer-Friendly Version
Yield: 6-8 servings
For the casserole:
1¼ lbs. green beans, ends trimmed and cut in half
2 tbsp. unsalted butter
10 oz. button mushrooms, sliced
3 tbsp. minced shallots
3 tbsp. flour
1 cup half-and-half
1 cup chicken broth
2 tsp. low-sodium soy sauce
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
For the topping:
Canola oil, for frying
2-3 shallots, sliced thinly
Flour, for dredging
Preheat the oven to 350˚ F. Lightly grease a 2-quart casserole dish. Add the green beans to a large sauté pan and cover with a few inches of water. Bring to a simmer, cover, and let cook until fork tender, about 4-6 minutes. Transfer to a colander and rinse with cold water. Return the pan to the heat and melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms to the pan and sauté, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release most of their liquid, about 5 minutes. Add the shallots to the pan and cook until fragrant, 1 minute more. Stir in the flour and cook briefly, about 1 minute. Stir in the half-and-half, broth, and soy sauce. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 5 minutes more. Stir in the drained green beans, season with salt and pepper to taste, and transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish. (At this point, the casserole can be covered and refrigerated.) Bake for 20 minutes, until browned and bubbling (30 minutes if it has been refrigerated).
To make the topping, add some canola oil to a small saucepan to about 1-2 inches deep. Heat the oil to 350˚ F. While the oil is heating, dredge the sliced shallots in the flour, shaking off the excess. Add to the pan with the hot oil and fry until the shallots are golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a paper-towel lined plate.
Sprinkle the fried shallots over the warm casserole. Serve immediately.

Tiger Fuel Company's recent release, about its new rewards focused around its convenience stores, feels like a regular company marketing announcement. We noticed that it points towards using a rewards announcement for fixing a market misperception about the company's business model.
Rewards programs announcements are focused on customers -- and it creates emotion and engagement. Those two elements are often the most difficult things to generate with brand level messaging. By leveraging a targeted loyalty program, Tiger Fuel achieves several goals:
1. Creating customer focus (the above mentioned emotion and engagement) around a key brand level message.
2. Going beyond mere words (which often are not effective) to action to demonstrate a commitment to its convenience store line of business.
The signalling effect of rewards is powerful -- aside from their inherent value -- they send a strong message about the type of customers and buying behavior that a company values the most.

A search warrant for drugs and possible records of drug sales did not permit officers to enter defendant's computer where the execution of the warrant produced no evidence of drug sales on the premises. (There was also a Franks violation because the officer represented a neighbor's report of drug use as drug sales, but the remainder of the affidavit showed PC. Child porn was found on the computer.) United States v. Payton, 573 F.3d 859 (9th Cir. 2009):
The search warrant did explicitly authorize a search of Payton's premises to find and seize, among other things, "[s]ales ledgers showing narcotics transactions such as pay/owe sheets," and "[f]inancial records of the person(s) in control of the premises." The crucial question is whether these provisions authorized the officers to look for such records on Payton's computer. We conclude that, under our recent and controlling precedent of United States v. Giberson, 527 F.3d 882 (9th Cir. 2008), as applied to the circumstances of this case, they did not.
. . .
. . . As we read this passage, it holds that under certain circumstances, computers are not an exception to the rule permitting searches of containers to find objects specified in a warrant. A reasonable negative inference is that, absent those circumstances, a search of a computer not expressly authorized by a warrant is not a reasonable search. Those circumstances are absent in the present case. The search of Payton's residence for evidence of drug sales produced none. There was nothing in the neighborhood of Payton's computer, or indeed in the entire residence, that suggested that evidence of drug sales or anything else specified in the warrant would be found on the computer in his bedroom.
It is true, of course, that pay/owe sheets indicating drug sales were physically capable of being kept on Payton's computer. But a similar bare capability was present in Giberson; a computer is physically capable of containing false identification documents. In Giberson, we did not simply recite that fact and uphold the seizure; we relied quite specifically on the documents found next to the printer and the computer, in circumstances indicating a likelihood that they were created on and printed from the computer. It was the presence of those documents that rendered the search reasonable.

Most recent SCOTUS cases:
2013-14 Term:
Fernandez v. California, granted May 20 (ScotusBlog)
2012-13 Term: 2010-11 Term: General (many free): Congressional Research Service: "If it was easy, everybody would be doing it. It isn't, and they don't." "A system of law that not only makes certain conduct criminal, but also lays
down rules for the conduct of the authorities, often becomes complex in its
application to individual cases, and will from time to time produce imperfect
results, especially if one's attention is confined to the particular case at
bar. Some criminals do go free because of the necessity of keeping
government and its servants in their place. That is one of the costs of having
and enforcing a Bill of Rights. This country is built on the assumption that
the cost is worth paying, and that in the long run we are all both freer and
safer if the Constitution is strictly enforced." "The criminal goes free, if he must, but it is the law that sets him free. Nothing
can destroy a government more quickly than its failure to observe its own laws,
or worse, its disregard of the charter of its own existence." Any costs the exclusionary rule are costs imposed directly by the Fourth Amendment. "There have been powerful hydraulic pressures throughout our history that
bear heavily on the Court to water down constitutional guarantees and give the
police the upper hand. That hydraulic pressure has probably never been greater
than it is today." "The great end, for which men entered into society, was to secure their
property." "It is a fair summary of history to say that the safeguards of liberty have
frequently been forged in controversies involving not very nice people. And
so, while we are concerned here with a shabby defrauder, we must deal with his
case in the context of what are really the great themes expressed by the Fourth
Amendment." "The course of true law pertaining to searches and seizures, as enunciated
here, has not–to put it mildly–run smooth." "A search is a search, even if it happens to disclose nothing but the
bottom of a turntable." "For the Fourth Amendment protects people, not places. What a person knowingly
exposes to the public, even in his own home or office, is not a subject of Fourth
Amendment protection. ... But what he seeks to preserve as private, even in
an area accessible to the public, may be constitutionally protected." "Experience should teach us to be most on guard to
protect liberty when the Government's purposes are beneficent. Men born
to freedom are naturally alert to repel invasion of their liberty by evil-minded
rulers. The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in insidious encroachment by men
of zeal, well-meaning but without understanding." "Liberty—the freedom from unwarranted
intrusion by government—is as easily lost through insistent nibbles by
government officials who seek to do their jobs too well as by those whose purpose
it is to oppress; the piranha can be as deadly as the shark." "You can't always get what you want /
But if you try sometimes / You just might find / You get what you need." "In Germany, they first came for the communists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a communist. Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for
the Catholics and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Catholic. Then they came
for me–and by that time there was nobody left to speak up." "You know, most men would get discouraged by
now. Fortunately for you, I am not most men!"
"There is never enough time, unless you are serving it."

"The point of the Fourth Amendment, which often is not grasped by zealous officers,
is not that it denies law enforcement the support of the usual inferences which
reasonable men draw from evidence. Its protection consists in requiring that
those inferences be drawn by a neutral and detached magistrate instead of being
judged by the officer engaged in the often competitive enterprise of ferreting
out crime."
v. United States, 333 U.S. 10, 13-14 (1948)

Maybe it's a little bit like mass hysteria. If everyone is all overwhelmed with moving in and unpacking and all of that, reading a stove manual isn't going to be the big priority to many of them. I'm sure I'm guilty of taking the attitude that I have seen one stove, therefore I have seen them all and possibly I am not alone on this.
Do you scratch your head when you read that?
Yes, council know about it and say they are "dealing with it":. :rolleyes:
I can still use the oven. I just have to watch the thermometer and set it 25 degrees higher. It fluctuates even then.
What does "inadequate power" mean?
Tangotori is probably right if you have a convection oven but if the gas pipes are too narrow this might be a reason why you are not getting enough heat for a non convection oven. I had always heard that gas BBQ's didn't get as hot as propane ones but I recently found out it is because many gas BBQ's don't have a wide enough pipe connecting it to the T.
Really - with a convection oven you don't need to adjust your cooking times. It cooks in the same time at a lower temperature because of the way the air circulates in the oven. When convections first came out you had to adjust the temperature yourself (i.e., set the temp 25 degrees less). Now you punch in the temp your dish requires and the oven makes the adjustment. Try cooking things at the normal time... you'll find it's totaly okay. It should have told you all this in your manual - mind did (I had an electric GE Profile that was convection and my new gas Kitchen Aid is both regular and convection - both the same)
I'd still be calling the store. It's your stove, you paid for it and to me it really doesn't matter what is going on with anyone else's. You'd think if nothing else (if the store is backpeddling) you could call the authorized warranty place for Bosch and have them out to look at it. I'm afraid I have no patience for waiting for a committee to sort it out.
Eliza - is it possible that your oven is a convection? Convection ovens always heat to 25 degrees less then what you've set it to - so if you set it to 350, the oven heats to 325. The way it cooks/bakes (circulating the air), it doesn't require the additional 25 degrees. If you told me that your oven's heating discrepency was anything other then 25 I'd definitely thing there was a problem - but since it is 25 exactly, I'll bet you dimes-to-dollars that you have a convection oven.
Also - the heat is fluctuating because it's constantly re-heating as it cools. That's common for an oven. You're likely just noticing the flucuations because it's digital and you can see the temperature as it cools and re-heats to the required temp. Make sense?
I encourage you and your neighbours to take a closer look at your oven's manual.
I agree about getting it fixed. I don't know if this is something that needs to be done periodically with stoves but I know it's a common problem.
I have encountered this kind of thing in virtually all rental apartments and even my mothers stove was a bit off so we just adjusted our baking time accordingly or changed what temperature we baked things at.

Enhancing a High School Based Smoking Cessation Program
Diseases and Conditions Researched
Nicotine Dependence
What is the purpose of this trial?
The purpose of this study is to examine the the efficacy of adjunctive nicotine replacement therapy when used in combination with the contingency management (CM) + cognitive behavioral therapy intervention. Subjects will be randomly assigned to receive either a nicotine transdermal patch or a placebo patch as well as being randomly assigned to receive either CM or no CM; all subjects will receive cognitive behavioral therapy. We hypothesize that that subjects receiving both active nicotine patch and CM will have higher rates of abstinence from tobacco than subjects in the other groups.

We also provide our commercial clients with certificates of insurance by e-mail and/or fax. Cargo insurance is also available, as is the general liability insurance and, if needed, workers compensation insurance. (back to top)
Home Insurance The Delain Insurance Agency insures homes and seasonal properties located in Wisconsin. Representing over 20 quality companies allows us to find the right company at the right price for our clients. We can insure everything from the home under construction to the million dollar plus valued mansion. Special coverage is available for the additional exposures one may have such as valuable jewelry, artwork, collectibles, or guns. Several companies offer a package policy which covers the home, autos, "toys", and liability exposures on one policy. The advantage is a single deductible in the event of a catastrophic loss.
We have access to several replacement cost estimators. These estimators allow us to calculate what it would cost to remove the debris, and then rebuild one's home in the event of a loss. This helps insure the building to a proper level, avoiding any coinsurance clause penalties. For clients who desire other levels of coverage, we can insure a home for its market value, or its actual cash value. Through the use of the internet we are able to accurately determine the proper fire department and the protection class rating for most properties. We also offer replacement cost on contents, backup of sewer drain or sump pump failure, and identity theft protection among some of the options available. (back to top)
Business Insurance The Delain Insurance Agency provides business insurance for a wide variety of businesses. Most lines of business are insurable in our agency. In addition to the business building(s) and property, we can provide your business with the workers compensation coverage, liability exposure, commercial auto and bonds needed. Each business is unique in its own way. We take our time to learn your business, and to provide the coverage needed to insure your continued prosperity. This may include life insurance, business overhead insurance, or health insurance in addition to the above areas of coverage. Loss control specialists may help prevent a loss from happening, thus saving you from the resulting financial hardships. (back to top)
Health Insurance The Delain Insurance Agency provides individual and group health insurance. Short term insurance is available for clients who are between jobs, recently graduated from school, or those nearing Medicare eligibility. Additionally, supplemental insurance such as dental insurance and AFLAC insurance products are offered. For the senior citizen we offer Medicare supplement insurance, Medicare advantage plans, and Medicare part D coverage. Companies represented include Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, Assurant Health, United Health, WPS Arise health plans, and others. We also have coverage among our specialty coverage plans for people who travel outside the United States. (back to top)
Flood Insurance The Delain Insurance Agency specializes in flood insurance. We are recognized by the National Flood Service for our knowledge in this area, and as such receive leads from the National Flood Service for people looking for flood insurance. Our agency looks for the correct flood zones, construction classifications, and waiting periods in an effort to provide the best possible rates. While the federal government sets the rates, not all agents have the expertise required in this field to be able to get the best rates for clients. The government limits the amount of coverage available through their program. Often the government limit is not high enough to cover a building or contents. There are secondary insurance markets available to us if you need more protection than is available via the government programs. (back to top)

Probability of Success
2008-09: Despite the fact that Zach Budish missed the entire season due to a torn ACL he suffered in a playoff game with the Hornets football team back in October, he was still regarded as one of the top Minnesota high school players in this year's draft. A big reason is his outstanding performance at the 2008 Ivan Hlinka Tournament, where Budish led Team USA in goal scoring with three goals and added two assists in four games. CSS ranking going into the draft: 22nd among NA skaters. Budish got back on the ice at Nashville Predators conditioning camp in July 2009, and will attend the 2009 U.S National Junior Evaluation Camp in Lake Placid.
2009-10: Budish appeared in 39 games as a freshman for the University of Minnesota, putting to rest any worries about the knee injury he suffered playing football during his senior year of high school. The bruiser scored 7 goals and 10 assists for 17 points in his first collegiate season.
2010-11: Budish was off to a fast start in his sophomore season at Minnesota, scoring 2 goals with 4 assists in the Gophers' first seven games, before suffering a season-ending knee injury in a moped accident. Minnesota finished fifth in the WCHA.
2011-12: Both Budish and the Gophers had a comeback season. Minnesota returned to the top of the WCHA and the junior was a big part of that success. Budish was plus-20 and scored 12 goals with 23 assists and had 43 penalty minutes in 43 games for the first-place Gophers. After having lost to North Dakota in the WCHA tournament, Minnesota defeated the Fighting Sioux in the NCAA West Regional Final to reach the Frozen Four.
Talent Analysis
Budish is a complete player. At nearly 6'3", he certainly has size. Budish is a powerful skater who has remarkably good speed and acceleration for such a big man. He has great instincts, good vision, and makes very good decisions in all three zones. Budish utilizes his large frame and strength very well, including on the physical side and is quite difficult to move off the puck. He can deliver some solid checks without taking himself out of the play. He also has great hands and superb playmaking ability.
Budish will captain the University of Minnesota Gophers in his junior year and hopes to help his team make the Frozen Four this season. He will be expected to improve his offensive numbers and provide leadership to the Gophers' younger players. The big winger could be ready to turn pro by the end of this year if he can stay healthy for the whole season.
