On July 31st, 2001 the Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court had a monument installed in the rotunda of the state's judicial building. Carved from the top of a massive; 5,280 pound; block of granite was two tablets inscribed with the Ten Commandments. Carved into the base of the monument was numerous quotes and phrases from our nation's founding fathers, the national anthem, and the Declaration of Independence. And while he may not have realized it when the monument was commissioned, it's installation would set off a firestorm of criticism and legal challenges that what culminate in the Chief Justices removal just two years later. You may wonder what this fight, clearly over for either years, may have to do with politics in Iowa today. The answer is quite simple. That Chief Justice, Judge Roy Moore, has announced that he has formed an exploratory committee for the Republican nomination for President of the United States of America.
Yesterday Judge Moore used the Jan Mickelson show on WHO 1040 to announce his intention to test the waters for a possible Presidential bid. Shortly afterward he set off to tour the state to meet with a variety of Iowan's. Among the first stops that Judge Moore made was the Smoky Row Coffee House on the square of Oskaloosa. The assembled crowd of 35+ was fairly impressive for a candidate that had just announced his intentions that morning. As the group awaited the arrival of Judge Moore, his supporters ran video biography that depicted the defining moments in his life. A very nice touch.
When Judge Moore arrived he made light of the fact that he had a wardrobe malfunction at his last stop, one of the buttons on his suit coat popped off. After getting the brief attempt at humor out of the way Judge Moore immediately set about the task of demonstrating the tremendous intelligence that he possesses. He effectively and efficiently communicated to the assembled activists that he was well versed in this nation's founding documents; he was well studied when it came to many of our nation's founders; and he had an immense wealth of knowledge when it came to Christianity.
After about ten minutes outlining his belief system, Judge Moore got to the part of the meeting that the assembled crowd was waiting for. Why was he here? Why was he exploring a run at the Republican nomination for President of the United States?
He, like a lot of Americans, believes that our nation is in trouble. He sees that a majority of our politicians are more worried with winning their next election rather than doing the right thing. He sees that a lot of politicians, particularly many Republicans, which talk a good game but fail to follow through once they are elected. He feels that they are more interested in maintaining their elected office than following the Constitution. He feels that his actions that led to his removal as the Alabama Supreme Court Justice more than illustrates that he has no desire for power, no desire to compromise on the things that made this nation great.
He points out that the greatest leaders of our nation have been willing to lay their life on the line for the good of the country. It is his belief, as well as that of the assembled crowd, that it will take a leader such as this to return America to the greatness that it once had. That it will take a leader willing to die for his/her country to turn the nation away from the cliff that President Obama has taken us too. I could go on with more information that I gleaned from this meet and greet, but that would make this post far less readable. Instead I will close with a direct quote from Judge Roy Moore. "Now it is time to awaken out of the deep sleep."
If you would like more information on Judge Roy Moore please check out his website here.

It works like this: The person calling the clock is always facing 12 o'clock and so a honey off to your left is at your 9 and so on. For experienced clockers, there are added terms such as tight (close), deep (far), High (above you), and Low (below). It's important to remember not to shift around to much immediately after calling a clock, so as to avoid undue confusion and back-of-the-head slapping.

The Obama White House has released situation room photos taken during the Superstorm Sandy. Well hell's bells. Is that it? Is that all it takes? Just come out with a teleprompter speech telling people to stay indoors, a yahoo rootie-tootie from New Jersey's Chris Christie, and a photo of Obama huddled with people in the situation room presumably discussing which of his ethereal powers to use to make the flood waters recede. Can the memory of people really be that short?
C'mon people, Obama, as I wrote Tuesday, is attempting "to play president in an attempt to deflect the growing cacophony of condemnation and questioning pursuant to his handling (or lack thereof) of Benghazi."
Are people willing to further sully the murders of our ambassador and three of those stationed there by allowing Obama to act as if watching a storm is tantamount to healing the sick and walking on water?
Let's see the White House photos taken as Obama, Biden and Panetta sat huddled watching three Marines hold off wave after wave of enemy attack for seven hours, all the while pleading for help that Obama refused to send. Help that could have been there to rescue them within 60-90 minutes after they were engaged in the fight to rescue the ambassador and defend consulate staff and sovereign soil.
It is a despicable display of kabuki theater designed to obfuscate and redirect attention from Obama's greatest act of treasonable betrayal of our fighting men and women.

RGSS and Ruby Lesson - Chapter 1
RGSS and Ruby Lesson - Chapter 1
You can now download the complete script from this tutorial in a working project below...The project will be updated as the tutorial is updated.
You need to have read Chapter 1 and 2 before reading Chapter 3.
Remember the RGSS Reference on the main website-- It contains many info, even regarding If Statement and the likes.[b]
This chapter isn't finished yet. I decided to create it little by little, a section (or more) at a time; that way it should ease your suffering of waiting for it...Each time I update this chapter, you will see it in the NEWS of the forum and the WebSite. I'm sorry, but I have other thing to do, but I will come here once in a while and add a section.
All the major components you need to understand were explained in Chapter 2, and Chapter 1 covered the basic of what is RGSS and Ruby as seen in RMXP. With the knowledge acquiered with lesson chapter 2, you should be able to tackle chapter 3 with more ease.
Chapter 3 will cover the Selectable/Command Window; we will learn how to create and manage many different type of menus: Normal Menus, Horizontal Menu, Multiple Columns Menus, Multiple Menus Field (in the same scene). We will also learn some nice technique about the creation of CMS, like how to manage correctly your window in your scene, how to map a picture to replace the window, how to use the skin you want for each window, etc. As usual, we will also cover some bonus aspect of some syntax on the way as we see them. Those bonus info will now be called "Side-Note".
So, with that said, let's get going !
1. Selectable/Command Window Structure
2. Creating a simple horizontal menu
1. Selectable/Command Window Structure[b]
Before trying to modify or create any menus, you should all know the structure of the selectable window and command window in RMXP. Basically, the Window Selectable take care of the cursor in the menus, where is the cursor and the help window; the Window Command take care of displaying the menu items in the window as the user specify them in his scene.
Let's just see how a simple menu is created and what RMXP did to create it. We will check the standard menu of the Scene_Menu class (This is the main in-game menu that appears when you press ESCAPE while playing.) So open the page named "Scene_Menu".
class Scene_Menu
# â—? オãƒ-ジェクトåˆ?æœÿåŒ-
# menu_index : コマンドã?®ã'«ãƒ¼ã'½ãƒ«åˆ?æœÿä½?ç½®
def initialize(menu_index = 0)
@menu_index = menu_index
This is the initialize method of the Scene_Menu. In Chapter 2 we did not created any "initialize" method, we only did our "main" method... Why is there an intialize method here ? Well, it's to be able to specify where we want the cursor to appear in the menu when we call that menu from another scene. The position of the cursor in a menu is called a "Menu Index" in RMXP, so we will refer to that term from now on. So, if you check in Scene_Item near line #71, you will see a line that says: $scene = Scene_Menu.new(0) , this send an attribute to the Scene_Menu class, and the menu index will be 0, if you change the 0 by 1, the cursor will appear at another location in the menu.
Side Note:
def initialize(menu_index = 0)
On this line we have an attribute definition as explained in earlier chapter; it is defined in the parenthesis. As you can see, we "hard-coded" a value for the attribute with "menu_index=0". This has the effect of telling the attribute "menu_index" to equal 0 by default, so if we call the class without any attribute definition, it will equal 0 and it won't crash asking for attributes. This is useful if you want to create attribute for a method but you want default values so you don't have to send them everytime you use that particular method.
def main
# コマンドウィンドウã''作æˆ?
s1 = $data_system.words.item
s2 = $data_system.words.skill
s3 = $data_system.words.equip
s4 = "Status"
s5 = "Save"
s6 = "Exit"
@command_window = Window_Command.new(160, [s1, s2, s3, s4, s5, s6])
@command_window.index = @menu_index
This is the definition of the actual menu. S may stand for "Selection", but it's not important to know it, what is important to know is that all the lines from s1 to s6 are what we call "Menu Items", those are the menu selections that will be listed in the menu window. Actually, what is defined in the s1 to s6 lines are string (text) that will be shown in the menu. Remember that s1 to s6 are actually variable that you can use later on; actually, you could call them the way you want, and you could even not use them. We use them to simplify our menu creation later on.
Side Notes:
s1 = $data_system.words.item
On this line, remember that "$" refer to a global variable. data_system refer to every data you may have set in the database of RMXP. So the line s1 actually take the word you specified in the database in the "items" text field.
Once all our menu item are defined, we need to create a window for the menu and send the needed attribute with it. The following line take care of this:
@command_window = Window_Command.new(160, [s1, s2, s3, s4, s5, s6])
If you remember chapter 2, here we just create an object named "@command_window"; which is of class Window_Command. Window_Command objects need 2 attributes to be created. Let check the Window_Command class to check it out. Open "Window_Command" page:
class Window_Command < Window_Selectable
# â—? オãƒ-ジェクトåˆ?æœÿåŒ-
# width : ウィンドウ�幅
# commands : コマンドæ-†å—列ã?®é…?列
def initialize(width, commands)
# コマンドã?®å€‹æ•°ã?‹ã'‰ã'¦ã'£ãƒ³ãƒ‰ã'¦ã?®é«˜ã?•ã''算冺
super(0, 0, width, commands.size * 32 + 32)
@item_max = commands.size
@commands = commands
self.contents = Bitmap.new(width - 32, @item_max * 32)
self.contents.font.name = $defaultfonttype # "All Commands" window font
self.contents.font.size = $defaultfontsize
self.index = 0
Window_Command is a sub class of Window_Selectable, so we will have to take a peak at Window_Selectable later on. So, we see that the initialize metod need 2 attributes, Width and Commands. Hence the line from Scene_Menu:
@command_window = Window_Command.new(160, [s1, s2, s3, s4, s5, s6])
The first attribute is 160, which is the width, and the second is [s1, s2, s3, s4, s5, s6] which concist of an array containing all our variables s1 to s6 that contains the string (text) for our menu items. Okay, now Window_Command uses a "super" syntax to initialize the method from it's super class "Window_Selectable":
super(0, 0, width, commands.size * 32 + 32)
We now need to open "Window_Selectable" and take a little peak at the initialize method in there. (Remember Chapter 2, we learned inheritance back then.)
class Window_Selectable < Window_Base
# â—? å…¬é-‹ã'¤ãƒ³ã'¹ã'¿ãƒ³ã'¹å¤‰æ•°
attr_reader :index # カーソル�置
attr_reader :help_window # ヘルプウィンドウ
# â—? オãƒ-ジェクトåˆ?æœÿåŒ-
# x : ウィンドウ� X 座標
# y : ウィンドウ� Y 座標
# width : ウィンドウ�幅
# height : ウィンドウ�高�
def initialize(x, y, width, height)
super(x, y, width, height)
@item_max = 1
@column_max = 1
@index = -1
Ok, of course this class also have a super class named Window_Base; it's normal, window_base contains all the basic of creating a window on screen in RMXP. Window_Selectable need 4 attribute, as Window_Base they are the x position, y position, width and height of the window to create. Let's check the super line from our sub class "Window_Command":
super(0, 0, width, commands.size * 32 + 32)
So, the X and Y position are both 0, which means the window will be at position 0:0 on the screen. (which is the top-left corner of the screen.) the width is equal to a variable named "width"; which is sent by Scene_Menu in the line:
@command_window = Window_Command.new(160, [s1, s2, s3, s4, s5, s6])
160 is the width. The height is defined as "commands.size * 32 + 32"; this part may have confused you a little bit... First of all, you need to remember that "commands" is actually an array variable defined as:
[s1, s2, s3, s4, s5, s6]
In ruby you can use many built-in "function" with every components, such as arrays. You can check all of those "funtions" at the following website:
If you check the website, the definition for "size" is:
"Returns the number of elements in arr. May be zero."
So, what "commands.size" do is return a value that equal the number of item contained in the array. In our case, the size of our array "commands" is 6. So, the line "commands.size * 32 + 32" can now be known as:
6 * 32 + 32
Which is: 224... Our height is then 224. So our window is now 160X224 at position 0:0 on the screen. If we go way back to our Scene_Menu class to see our last line, which is:
[i]@command_window.index = @menu_index[i]
This line actually set the attribute "index" of our object "@command_window" equal to our instance variable "menu_index", that is 0 by default... But if another scene have sent an attribute when creating that menu, it will use that value instead; this is how, for example, that the cursor comes back to where it was when you return from the "Save Menu". "@command_window.index" will also be used later on in the Scene_Menu to know where the cursor is; in order to know what to do when the user press "Confirm" on a selection. (We will see that in depth later.)
There is other stuff to see, such as "Column Max, Row, Cursur Width, etc", all those components will be explained so you will be able to create the type of menus you want. But first, what you need to undestand is how a basic one column menu works, and what you can do with it. Once we have created this type of menus, we will create a multi-column menu, and so on with the other type of menus.
Now that the basic of a menu have been explained, we can do our own menu in our own scene. You should already be able to create your own window, your own scene and your own variable and objects because of chapter 1 and 2, so we will not go through all that again.
[b]2. Creating a simple horizontal menu
First of all, we need a simple scene to create our menu in. I created a simple menu layout and window that you can copy and paste, we will use that layout for our menu. This layout concist of 3 window; one to display the menu, another one to display the help window, and another one to display the content of a selection in the menu. This will look like that: (When Empty...)
Just create a new page in your script editor, and paste all the following code in it: (You can call this page "Simple Horizontal Menu".

self.contents = Bitmap.new(width-32, height-32)
self.contents.font.name = "Tahoma"
self.contents.font.size = 20
def update(help_text) #Receive argument, show relevant help text in window
self.contents.clear #Clear the content before displaying new data !
self.contents.draw_text(0, 0, 440, 32, help_text) #show the content of "help_text" variable
# â-² CLASS Window_a3 ENDS (Help Window)
This code won't work until you add the little menu below, because one window isn't yet defined, the menu itself. So read on, and test it after you inserted the menu in there.
Now we must add the stuff we want in that scene. First thing first, we will design the menu and what it will do. So here goes:
Option 1:
ITEMS --> Will open Scene_Items.
Option 2:
INFOS --> Will display some text in the content window.
Option 3:
MUSIC A --> Will play BGM A.
Option 4:
MUSIC B --> Will play BGM B.
Option 5:
EXIT --> Will exit as ESCAPE do.
Now that we know what we will do, we can go on and create the basic structure for that menu right now, and polish each function (method) for the options later. First of all, we will add in the simple horizontal menu layout in our Scene main method.
So open the page you created earlier "Simple Horizontal Menu" and go to line #30. We will add our menu there; paste the following code at line #30:
s1 = "Items"
s2 = "Infos"
s3 = "Music A"
s4 = "Music B"
s5 = "Exit"
@window_a2 = Window_Command.new(200, [s1,s2,s3,s4,s5]) #Remember, 200 is the Width
@window_a2.y=100 #Set a position for the menu other than 0:0
@window_a2.height=380 #Force a new height for the menu window
@window_a2.index = @menu_index
To start it, now that the scene will work, create an event on your map and add the following Call Script in it:
If you go talk to your event, you'll see the scene, but the menu won't do anything except the fact that you can press ESCAPE to exit the scene and return to the map.
Now we will add the Help Text display to the menu. The text that will be displayed in the help window (@window_a3) will changed depending on the cursor position on the menu. To allow this, we need to always know where the cursor is in the menu.... So we need to add the code in Def Update of our scene; since this is the method that is constantly being "called" while we are in our scene.
So go in Def Update (Still in the Scene Class !), and right below
add this code:
case @window_a2.index #window_a2 is the menu... index is it's cursor position !
when 0 #Remember that the cursor position start at 0, because it's an Array !!
@window_a3.update("Open the item selection window") #item - s1
when 1
@window_a3.update("Display some info in the content window") #infos -s2
when 2
@window_a3.update("Play BGM A") #Music A - s3
when 3
@window_a3.update("Play BGM B") #Music B - s4
when 4
@window_a3.update("Exit the menu and return to the map") #Exit - s5
Now, if you test that again, you will see that when you move your cursor from option to option, the help window at the top will display the relevant tooltip for the selected option. How is it done ? Well, if you haven't guessed by looking at the code, read on:
Our Help Window is named Window_a3... here's the code for it:
1 class Window_a3 < Window_Base
3 def initialize
4 super(0, 0, 640,100)
5 self.contents = Bitmap.new(width-32, height-32)
6 self.contents.font.name = "Tahoma"
7 self.contents.font.size = 20
8 end
10 def update(help_text) #Receive argument, show relevant help text in window
11 self.contents.clear #Clear the content before displaying new data !
12 self.contents.draw_text(0, 0, 440, 32, help_text) #show the content of "help_text"
13 end
15 end
Line #1 to 9 should not be a problem; if you don't understand them, try to read chapter 1 and 2, it was covered in them. Line 10 create a new method called "Update" that we can call from our menu (from our scene) to update what is written at the top. We are asking for an argument that we named "help_text", and we display that argument on screen on line #12...
If we look at our menu code, we can see this line everytime we want to change the text displayed on the help window:
@window_a3.update("New Text")
@window_a3 is our object we created in our Def Main of our scene, and update is the method we created in our class Window_a3 (explained above). What follows is the argument (the help text to display) that is sent to that update method.
We all agree that a menu without any function isn't a really a complete menu... So now is the time to add those function. It's not that complicated, we need one method per option we have in the menu; in this case, we have 5 options, so we will need to create 5 method. So we will add them right now:
Remember the place where you added the Help Display code earlier, in Def Update (below @window_a2.update) ? Well, the method you will have to add in the scene goes right after that Def Update. Just look for the following comments to find exactly where:
#Options Method Start Here:
Now, below that line, paste this code, I will explain it after.
def item #s1, menu_index=0
$game_system.se_play($data_system.decision_se) #play an SE
$scene = Scene_Item.new #Syntax to change scene
def infos #s2, menu_index=1
def music_a #s3, menu_index=2
Audio.bgm_play("Audio/BGM/song_a.mid", 100, 100) #Play custom BGM
def music_b #s4, menu_index=3
Audio.bgm_play("Audio/BGM/song_b.mid", 100, 100) #Play custom BGM
def exit #s5, menu_index=4
$game_system.se_play($data_system.cancel_se) #play an SE
$scene = Scene_Map.new #Syntax to change scene
$game_map.autoplay #Because we play music in the menu...
Side Note:
[color}blue]Using method for menu options[/color]
You do not need (it's not necessary) to use method for each option menu, especially if they are simple and short as this sample menu. But I decided to show it that way because sometimes, menu option could do long and more complicated operation, and in this case, it's better to break them down into different method. If you would want to test it without using method, you can simply replace each method call from within the Case Statement by the content of each method, and voilÃ? . I prefer to use method, that way it's better classified.
A little note, the lines that start with Audio.bgm_play have to be configured with the names of your own audio files, present in Audio\BGM. Change the name between parenthesis, and you are set to go.
There isn't much to explain, for those are very simple operations. I don't think I have to explain the code itself. Each of those method will be called by a new code we will add in our Def Update, just below the code we added for the Help Display window. So, look for this code in Def Update of our Scene:
@window_a3.update("Exit the menu and return to the map") #Exit - s5
And below it, add the following code:
if Input.trigger?(Input::C) #Do the following if ENTER is pressed...
case @window_a2.index #window_a2 is the menu... index is it's cursor position !
when 0 #Remember that the cursor position start at 0, because it's an Array !!
item #item - s1
when 1
infos #infos -s2
when 2
music_a #Music A - s3
when 3
music_b #Music B - s4
when 4
exit #Exit - s5
Now, if you go and test your menu, it will be completed with all the function and help display. For the Content Window, you can just add as much line as you want or show any other stuff in place of text, you can tweak this code and do what you want with it, it's the goal of a tutorial after all
I know this was kind of "basic", but you can tweak those code and do way more, like changing the bgm, showing pictures or changing window/picture from places to another places dynamically, instead of just showing the help window...
[color=red]I do not have the time to continue doing tutorial at the moment...[color]

The Skytower at Seaworld Orlando now free
SeaWorld Orlando's 400 foot Sky Tower will be free to all guests beginning 12th January 2012.
The Tower has been at SeaWorld since the park opened in 1974, but there has always been a small charge to get a bird's eye view of the park.
There is no news whether this is temporary or permanent.
If ever there is a tomorrow when we're not together.......
there is something you must always remember.
You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.
But the most important thing is, even if we're apart...... I'll always be with you.
Winne the Pooh - A A Milne
A friend is a hand that is always holding yours,
no matter how close or far apart you may be.
A friend is someone who is always there and will always, always care.
A friend is a feeling of forever in the heart.
Re: The Skytower at Seaworld Orlando now free
Guess we'll do it again in August then!
It was never very busy but I bet it will be now

text: Not all of Indian cinema is associated with Bollywood. And the Indo-American Arts Council's 11th annual New York Indian Film Festival, going on from May 4 to 8, is the place to get a real feel for the independent and social aspects of Indian film in New York. It may not be all singing and dancing, but there will definitely be some at the festival's red carpet events and after parties.

AKA expands reach to Asia Pacific, Europe, Gulf Region with Ascott the Residence marketing alliance >
On the first Friday of every month, Old City is an art lovers delight, as the neighborhood's over 40 galleries stay open late.
Allow an expert guide to show you the ins and outs of Center City, as you learn about the many restaurants, shopping hotspots and landmarks in the neighborhood.
The only way to put fresher ingredients on your table would be to pick them yourself.
This is probably the most delicious way to see the city, and although it might be a few calories over budget you can easily justify with this leisurely stroll through Philadelphia.

Otto Miller - March
Each month when we do the Otto Miller ride more and more people show up. We started this ride on a whim for the purpose of getting to ride with others, for the excuse to get out and ride our bicycles more. They hear about it through friends, they are excited to come out and ride with a great group of people. And a great group of people it is.
There is something that happens each and every time we start climbing. Silence, or at the very least human voices replaced by the crunch of rock under tires. How quickly a chatty ride full of laughs and jokes takes a left and becomes a quiet plod for the top. Conversations and catching up can and will be done when the common goal of a peak is reached.
But knowing all this is futile because at some point up this climb your thoughts will be broken by this statement:
"How much further to the top?"
It is a valid question coming from someone new to the ride. Otto Miller Road is almost 6 miles of dirt road going uphill. This past week the words were uttered by J. Crow and it was the only time I've felt a pang of compassion for the person who spoke it. Only for a second and only because he had one gear. But the moment passed as soon as he stood up and rolled away from the rest of the geared cyclists.
"How much further to the top?"
Other times the statement comes from the seasoned veterans, rhetorically spoken to break the curse of that never-ending road. Usually it is followed by a little chuckle or sly smile as they effortlessly slide past on your right. It is easy to round a corner thinking that it will be your last and have that not be the case at all. The dense tree cover combined with the roads ability to snake its way up the side of the hill make it difficult to judge. Multiple trips up do nothing to help with this disorientation.
"How much further to the top?"
More often then not this statement comes from within. A mental checklist comes up of the places that you have been, slowly eliminating each one and thereby placing yourself closer to the top. The spot where the dog chased you last time. It dips and then jumps sharply up at one section. The flat corner with the house offers a moment of respite, and that is about half way.
It is easy to forget the pain of the hill once you reach the top. More than a few people that have struggled up that hill, myself included, and have then ventured forth that they never want to do it again. And more often than not we find these very same people standing in the sunshine outside our door when that time of the month rolls around. How easy it is to forget how much it hurts.
The next of the Monthly Otto Miller Rides happens April 21st - 12:30pm.

Tommy Davidson Interview at "You Again" Premiere September 22, 2010
Tommy Davidson (Black Dynamite) interview at "You Again" premiere at El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood, California USA September 22, 2010 - Red carpet interview by Marianna Hewitt.
About the movie:
Successful PR pro Marni (Kristen Bell) heads home for her older brother's (Jimmy Wolk) wedding and discovers that he's marrying her high school arch nemesis (Odette Yustman), who's conveniently forgotten their problematic past. Then the bride's jet-setting aunt (Sigourney Weaver) bursts in and Marni's not-so-jet-setting mom (Jamie Lee Curtis) comes face to face with her own high school rival. The claws come out and old wounds are opened in this crazy comedy that proves that not all rivalries are forever. "You Again" is rated PG and opens in U.S. theatres on September 24, 2010.

Some Notes from Training Camp Day Three Monday, October 1, 2012 by FLCeltsFan 10:01 PM Rondo mentioned on media day that his best friend on the team was KG. Today, KG sat down with CSNNE and shared some feelings about "Shorty." He talks about how smart Rondo is and that he feels for Doc having to coach him. He also feels that Rondo's potential on the court is limitless. The above video gives more of his thoughts on their relationship. Jason Terry and Paul Pierce put on an impromptu 3-point shooting contest after practice on Sunday. Both players fancy themselves as clutch shooters and so it's only natural that they should go head to head in a contest. Joining them in the contest was rookie Dionte Christmas, who matched the veterans shot for shot. Terry won this contest but I'm sure there's going to be a rematch. Word from the reporters who cover the Celtics is that Rondo is completely different with the media this season. He has been accessible and has given thoughtful answers to questions rather than the one word answers that he has been known to give in the past. He is definitely showing that he is the leader of the team off the court as well as on it. After the first day of camp, Paul Pierce tweeted that this team is going to be scary good. Today Rondo expressed the same optimism when he had this to say: "This is the best team we've had since I've been here, I think, as far as on paper, as far as the depth of talent," Rajon Rondo said. "We've got to make something of it." He feels that this team is even more talented than the 2008 championship team. But, he adds that the key to that team was that everyone bought into the system. The players on this team seem ready and willing to buy into the system as well. In case you were wondering if Jeff Green was able to stay in shape after having surgery last year, wonder no more. [Discuss on CG Forums!] Comments: "the key to that team was that everyone bought into the system"--makes you really sad Big Baby and #20 aren't still here ;>! # posted by bballee : 6:29 AM The thought has crossed my mindTwo questionsWill they be as hungry?Will kg and pp be as good as 5 years ago? # posted by Lex : 7:39 AM alsoPosey was clutch at both end of the floor -- who will play that role?powe/davis--were exceptional that year. Will any one or two players rise to that level?Who replaces perk?PJ brown in the playoffs? # posted by Lex : 8:33 AM I think they are just as hungry. They have tasted the feeling of winning a championship and have gone 4 years since. They came so close last season and that intensified their hunger. They know that the window will be closing and this is their best shot to get it. They are hungry # posted by FLCeltsFan : 10:15 AM KG and PP may have lost a step but they are still as good. The depth of the team will allow Doc to keep them fresher for the playoffs and so I think they will be as good come playoff time.Plus I think the bench is better. # posted by FLCeltsFan : 10:16 AM Green is going to be an upgrade over Posey. As far as clutch we have Terry and Lee both who are clutch. We don't know what we'll get from Green as far as being clutch but we know Terry is. Sullinger will rise to Powe's level and Bass is an upgrade over Baby. No one can ever replace Perk. Got that? But Darko, Collins, Melo can hope to fill the Center/enforcer role along with KG. # posted by FLCeltsFan : 10:18 AM God, not another Perk lover. Bottom line is he was a below average player who is now showing the world that his defensive skills aren't not as elite as advertised. And his offensive production was just embarrassing # posted by Greg : 11:07 AM Greg doing his best to win over fcf # posted by Lex : 1:39 PM Post a CommentThis blog does not allow anonymous comments.

Menstrual Cramps
Topic Overview
Most women have painful menstrual cramps (dysmenorrhea) from time to time. Menstrual cramps are one of the most common reasons for women to seek medical attention. The pain from menstrual cramps can range from mild to severe and can involve the lower belly, back, or thighs. You may also have headaches, nausea, dizziness or fainting, or diarrhea or constipation with your cramps.
During the menstrual cycle, the lining of the Reference uterus Opens New Window Reference Opens New Window produces a hormone called Reference prostaglandin Opens New Window. This hormone causes the uterus to contract, often painfully. Women with severe cramps may produce higher-than-normal amounts of prostaglandin, or they may be more sensitive to its effects.
Cramping is common during the teen years, when a woman first starts having periods. Primary Reference dysmenorrhea Opens New Window is a term used to describe painful menstrual cramping with no recognized physical cause. It is seen most commonly in women between the ages of 20 and 24. It usually goes away after 1 to 2 years, when hormonal balance occurs.
Secondary dysmenorrhea is a term used to describe painful menstrual cramping caused by a physical problem other than menstruation. Physical problems that can cause this type of cramping include:
- A condition in which cells that look and act like the cells of the lining of the uterus (endometrium) are found in other parts of the abdominal cavity (Reference endometriosis Opens New Window) or grow into the muscular tissue of the uterine wall (Reference adenomyosis). Pain usually occurs 1 to 2 days before menstrual bleeding begins and continues through the period.
- Growths that are not cancerous (benign growths) in the pelvis, such as Reference ovarian cysts Opens New Window, cervical or uterine Reference polyps Opens New Window, or Reference fibroids Opens New Window.
- Reference Pelvic infections Opens New Window. Your risk for developing an infection is higher after menstrual bleeding has begun because the opening to the uterus (cervical canal) widens during menstruation. But pelvic infections, especially those caused by Reference sexually transmitted infections Opens New Window, can occur at any time.
- Using an Reference intrauterine device (IUD) Opens New Window. An IUD may cause increased cramping during your period for the first few months of use. If menstrual cramping persists or gets worse, you may need to consider having the IUD removed and choosing another birth control method.
- Problems with Reference pregnancy.
- Structural problems that were present at birth (congenital), such as narrowing of the lower part of the uterus that opens into the vagina (cervix).
Menstrual-type cramps may occur after a medical procedure, such as cautery, cryotherapy, conization, radiation, endometrial biopsy, or IUD insertion.
Other menstrual symptoms, such as weight gain, headache, and tension, that occur before your period begins, can be caused by Reference premenstrual syndrome (PMS) Opens New Window. For more information, see the topic Reference Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS).
Reference Check your symptoms to decide if and when you should see a doctor.

Yesterday, taking the E train to Times Square, it was hard not to think about September 11th. Not only because it was the eve of the tenth anniversary, but because it's hard not to think about the towers anytime you ride a train that tells you it's going to a destination that no longer exists. If you lost someone on September 11th, you don't just think about that them if you ride the E train or even on the anniversary, but on so many other days- birthdays, holidays, when a certain song plays. I think I would resent the hoopla and the speeches of everyone else (probably even this column), but that's just me.
I was 16 when the towers fell, and I didn't cry. Our headmaster announced that a plane had hit one of the Twin Towers at the end of his speech at our school's morning meeting. Classes weren't even canceled, but I happened to have the next period off, so I went back to my dorm and called my brother on a pay phone, as cell phones weren't allowed, and I wouldn't smuggle one in until second semester of my junior year. I remember he'd been sleeping, and I apologized for waking him up and told him he had to turn on the TV.
Then I went into our common room and watched the news by myself; I'm one of the few people in my boarding school that watched the towers fall live, as most people went about in a bubble even bigger than the bubble of a New England prep school already is on any given day. I wasn't alone for long. A sophomore came running in and starred at the television. One of the towers collapsed and so did she. It's hard for me to think about now, and at the time, I couldn't process it. She had friends with her, and I stood there helpless, which is how many people spent 9/11. She eventually reached her Dad, who worked in the towers, and it turned out he had gotten out in time. Sports practices were held as normal that afternoon, and we had a memorial the next day. I remember one of the administrator's cell phones started ringing during the Chaplin's speech.
I look back at 9/11 as the start of my global consciousness because before then, I'm not sure I had much of one. I didn't need it. I was 16, wrapped up in my own life, sequestered on an idyllic New England campus most of the time, but it was hard to ignore world news from that day forward. There were words to learn, like jihad and Al queda. And then in college, I became a geography major. I switched from studying English because in Intro to Human Geography, the world was explained to me in a way it never had been before. We talked about where drug dealers and college students fit on the scale of gentrification, we talked about Nike, we talked about population in Italy and Madagascar. From that moment on, I looked at the world through a geographer's eyes. At 16, I was forced to learn about things I didn't really understand, but at 18, I began trying in earnest to understand them.
I spent much of my time in college studying nationalism, and on a day like today, I find it's hard not to be upset. Not just because of all the lives lost on 9/11, but for all the lives lost after 9/11, thousands and thousands of civilians in Iraq because of a war we started on false pretenses, how the memories of those whose lives were lost on 9/11 were hijacked a second time in order to declare a war. I wonder why we value some people's lives more than others because of where they were born on a map. From a critical perspective, I know that nationalism is a powerful ideology that surrounds us all the time, from the anthem at the baseball game to the Budweiser beer cans that came out this Memorial Day. But on a purely emotional level, as a human, I don't understand, and I hope I never will.
When thousands acted like their team won the Super Bowl in the wake of Osama Bin Laden's assassination, I went to bed. He was an evil man, but what are we when we chant USA and party like Mardi Gras after his death? How can we say we fight for freedom and democracy when we torture human beings in the name of said principles? How do we really go forward into the next ten years with such tunnel vision? We must look at the economic disparity in this world that creates the desperate situations from which Al Queda recruits it's suicide bombers. We must look at xenophobia in the UK that allows well to do second generation children to grow into terrorist adults. A few men are born evil, but thousands of terrorists around the globe aren't. They are created. And the actions of our country, whether we like it or not, often helps create them.
I was a child who couldn't cry when 9/11 happened because she didn't know what she was watching. Ten years later, I'm an adult who finds it hard not to cry because the world we live in is still so fractured, so hungry for blood and revenge, and so unaware of how precious life really is.

this thing is approx 6 months old, maybe. Probably more like 3-4 months.
Then, can't help you. Try the hard reset. But if that doesn't work, then I don't know what to say.
PRs: 1:46:46 (HM); 4:30:46 (FM)
Is it still under warranty then? If draining it/refilling it doesn't reset the battery gauge and solve the problem, you should call Garmin. They will probably send you a new watch for free.
My wildly inconsistent PRs:
5k: 24:36 (10/20/12)
10k: 52:01 (4/28/12)
Marathon: 4:19:11 (10/2/2011)
White Lightning
Roll, I have a 910 and the battery was shot within about a month after recieving it. Garmin replaced it no questions asked, was just a two week turn around. I only sent the watch back and they sent a whole new unit, box and everything, so I have two of everything which is kind of nice

Ball of Fury
I pretty much just wear my Camelbak for all runs. I have a hydration belt (some cheap brand from Wal-mart....had a Nathan and an Amphipod but didn't love them) but rarely use it. For races, I just use my Spi-belt for fuel and on course hydration. I do have a to core try cool Camelbak jersey I wear for longer trail races and obstacle races that have few (if any) water stops.
PRs: 5K 22:59, 10K 46:54,HM: 1:51:15
I've tried my camelbak and I have a fuel belt that holds 4 bottles but I always go back to regular 12 oz water bottles and just carry one in my hand for each 5-6 mile loop, set them on the hood on my car, grab one each time I pass by.
I want to do this but as a germaphob I am paranoid that passers-by may tamper with my water/fluids
PR's : HM 1:51:15 - not for long - 5K 21:27 - not for long
"say what you want about the south but no one ever retires and moves to the north"
****MIZUNO PEOPLE**** check out the clearance
If anyone orders from runningwarehouse, I have a permanent 15% off code!
I don't bring water on any run less than 10 miles. Anything over that and I bring two small (10oz?) handhelds. I've tried the fuel belt thing and I hate it.
So what's everyone using for hydration gear these days ? I use an obsolete Camelpak Catalyst for short races and runs under 10 miles For longer runs I use amphipod lite belt (velcro) with 2 bottles and an added on storage pouch for food items,etc....
13.1: 1:45 | 26.2: 3:55
LC Runs
I didn't use a fuel belt until training for the 50K Trail Run.. I normally just work a water stop in my running route. There has been so many water stops during the marathons i've ran that i hadn't needed to carry a hydration belt. I do wear a spi belt during the marathon that carries gu.
Thanks Rollcast for the heads up from Runners Warehouse... I've became a hardcore Mizuno gal!! Was brand loyal with asics until I finally realized the narrow shoe was causing me blisters, tried Brooks, tried the Mizuno for the pretty color, and won't be going back. I have a fresh new pair waiting on me to break them in
RW has Mens Ronin on clerance for $50 and Mens Musha for $55. FYI > Mizuno lovers
Cross posted:
Well until Mizuno comes up with a decent successor to the Wave Universe 3 (or the 4 without the heel lip) I'll keep trying other shoes. I just ordered a pair of Merrell Men's Sonic Glove Barefoot Running Shoes. (Interesting, why doesn't that link appear as a link?) Zero heel/toe drop.
BQ in 2013
Rollcast - $42 if you use FB15D code. Just bought another pair of Ronins yesterday and some Balega socks too.

Titled so we don't have another year of forum policing about how something "isn't technically an album."
I can't get enough of "The Seer" you know the new Swans record!
Excited for new music from Godspeed, Nick Cave, the Avalanches & Outkast
Can't wait for new Dr. Dog, The Shins, Outkast, DAFT PUNK, maybe even No Doubt... who knows, so many possibilities! I'd also love to hear from Vampire Weekend, MGMT, and various other people who have a good record for putting albums out.

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - 5/30 - Rialto Theatre
If they do, I hope it is better than their last release. Rick Ruban sucked all the emotion out of them. I was pretty disapointed in the album (although it did have 2 or 3 really great tracks), but I have faith they can still get back on the right track before going too far in the wrong direction.
What about Detox?

I read somewhere that Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds are recording in 2012, don't know that they'll have an album finished by the end of the year though.
I'm excited to hear what the next Tool, Outkast, MGMT, Grizzly Bear records will sound like.
Edit: Also looking forward to the Presets' and Nosaj Thing's new albums.

Don't listen to this fool. Outkast is coming back next year with a new album finally
"Outkast is on track to release a new album by early next year. Both Dre and Big are working on solo projects; they want those out by the end of 2011."
ps Big Boi was working with Little Dragon couple weeks ago so we should see his new solo LP soon
Cant wait for my favorite bands' new shitty albums!
Listening to Cloud Nothings' Attack on Memory, liking it a lot.

Gallery: Cutest celebrity cover babies
Jessica Simpson's baby girl, Maxwell Drew, appeared on the June 1, 2012 issue of People magazine, just one month after she was born in Los Angeles. According to reports, Simpson earned $850,000 for the exclusive, even though baby Maxwell clearly slept through part of the shoot.
Gisele Bundchen debuted the son she had with New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady on the cover of Brazilian magazine Quem in February 2010. She then gave an interview in which she claimed labour "didn't hurt in the slightest," making women everywhere hate her even more.
Christina Milian showed off her daughter Violet in Us Weekly, April 2010.
Kourtney Kardashian debuted two-week-old son Mason on the cover of Life & Style in December 2009. Nice try, but we still can't tell the Kardashian sisters apart.
Former Playboy Playmate Kendra Wilkinson showed off new son Hank Baskett IV to OK! magazine in December 2009, just five days after he was born!
Katherine Heigl debuted her adopted daughter, Naleigh, on the cover of People in October 2009.
Samantha Burke showed off Jude Law's new baby girl, Sophia, in Hello! in October 2009. The only problem: Law hadn't even met his five-week-old daughter by that point. Oopsie!
Matthew McConaughey graced OK!'s July 24, 2008 issue with Camila Alves & Levi. Cute kid, but we're distracted by the fact that McConaughey is wearing a shirt. Whaaaa?
Jessica Alba showed off daughter Honor Marie in OK!'s July 17, 2008 issue. Honor is way better than Alba's other 2008 production, The Love Guru.
Clay Aiken debuted his new baby Parker in October 2008 on the cover of People, but for some reason, everyone was more interested in his admission that he's gay. Seriously people, this was news?
In March 2008, Nicole Richie debuted her new daughter Harlow (along with her new domesticated, clean-cut, DUI-free image) on the cover of People magazine.
By the time Nicole covered People again with her newborn Sparrow in November 2009, we'd completely forgotten about her previous party-lovin' ways.
People reportedly paid Christina Aguilera $1.5 million US for snaps of her new son, Max, in February 2008. For that kind of money, we'd suffer through stretch marks and uncontrollable gas, too.
Jamie Lynn Spears, 19, showed off new baby Maddie Briann Aldridge in OK! magazine on July 2008, and made it seem like being a teen mom was the most! awesome! job! ever!
Jennifer Lopez showed off twins Max and Emme in People magazine in March 2008 (and reportedly got paid between $4-6 million US for her troubles -- a payout that matches Gigli's box office receipts.) OK! Magazine reportedly contributed $2 million US for the international rights.
People magazine has denied the widely reported claim that they shelled out $4 million US for the first photos of Brangelina's biological baby, Shiloh, in June 2006.
People scored another baby coup with the first photos of Brangelina's twins in August 2008, reportedly to the tune of $14 million US. It's rumoured that the genetically perfect couple donated the money to charity.
Tori Spelling debuted son Liam in April 2007 on the cover of Us Weekly.
Tori then hit up OK! to show off the first pics of baby Stella in June 2008.
Patrick Dempsey showed off twins Darby and Sullivan in People magazine in March 2007.
Marcia Cross, 44, continued the twin trend, debuting Savannah and Eden in People magazine in April 2007.
Britney Spears and Kevin Ferderline showed off Sean Preston in November 2005, and reportedly donated the proceeds to Hurricane Katrina victims.
Before Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes debuted daughter Suri in Vanity Fair's October 2006 issue, everyone assumed she didn't exist. As soon as the mag hit newsstands, the popular theory evolved to 'Ok, she does exist, but she's a robot.' On the plus side, everyone thinks she's an *adorable* robot!
Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale reportedly pocketed $575,000 US for the first photos of Kingston, which debuted in OK! in June 2006.
Julia Roberts showed off twins Hazel and Finn on the cover of People in February 2005.

You rub it onto the flesh of the meat or fish before grilling, and then apply the barbecue sauce on top. It adds a real depth of flavour to all of your grilling.

text: "Thank you!!" for giving me my life back. Your medical team was pleasant and professional; your office staff was a joy. It was a relief to finally talk to people who were understanding of the situation. I was not myself, the pain made me tired, irritable and generally miserable. Because of your care, I no longer have any pain. I am back to my usual happy self. No one should have to endure the pain of herniated/bulging discs when there is a solution!! The Deuk Spine Institute!!!! I can never thank you enough. Much Appreciated, Alice

Bellevue Z'Tejas to close
November 26, 2012 · 3:37 PM
Z'Tejas Southwestern Grill in Bellevue will close Jan. 26.
"We want to extend a huge thanks to our hard working team members, loyal guests and community for all your support over the past 11 years," said Steven A. Micheletti, president and chief executive officer of Z'Tejas. "We are sincerely looking forward to enjoying one last holiday season with our team and patrons."
Z'Tejas first opened its doors in May 2001 in the third level of the Lodge at Bellevue Square.
The Bellevue restaurant is one of 11 nationwide, the only in the Northwest. Although Z'Tejas is closing its doors in Bellevue, the company will open a new location in Phoenix in March 2013.

Wago's Removable Storage and PLCs
PLCs have long been used for data collection. However, while the PLC may be good at collecting data, sharing that data with external devices traditionally has been a cumbersome task to varying degrees. Fortunately, removable storage media can help bring flexibility to data collection and recipe storage applications in PLCs. For instance, for data collection, the PLC no longer needs to communicate directly to an external device, but can operate stand-alone, storing data to the removable memory device—only to be retrieved at a later date. This brief white paper discusses techniques for using USB or flash memory devices to achieve this goal. A direct link is at http://tinyurl.com/ybu6las.Company Information
