Many individuals who undertake resistance training to develop both strength and size also supplement with protein to support and enhance their dietary protein intake. Normally, protein supplements are purchased and consumed in the form of shakes which can be mixed with water or milk and drank with relative ease.
Although these shakes help achieve your daily protein requirements, they're not without their problems and limitations. For starters, if you're consuming 2-3 shakes per day on average then it won't take long for you to start getting bored of their monotonous flavours. Despite the array of tastes available, when all is said and done, a shake is just a shake however you disguise it. Furthermore, some shakes, of which brands shall remain unnamed, are topped up with unnecessary ingredients and fillers which will do nothing more than increase calories and give you that bloated feeling.
Finally, shakes can be messy and cumbersome. They require you to add liquid and if you want to take it with you as a high protein snack for later, then you have to find somewhere to store your protein shaker.
Don't get us wrong, here at FitnessBeans we've got nothing against protein shakes, far from it, it's just that sometimes they don't meet the needs and requirements of a situation. With all this in mind and the commonly known saying that variety is the spice of life, MyProtein have developed a bar packed full of protein which is both nutritious and healthy. They call it MyBar High Pro and here at FitnessBeans we're impressed. So impressed infact, we thought we'd share our expert views and opinions with you on this high protein alternative.
For starters, each bar contains an awesome 29g of the highest quality protein to support all of your growth and recovery needs whilst also offering just over 20g of carbohydrates. Whilst the protein is ideal for developing lean muscular mass, the carbohydrate serving is perfect to give you that energy boost for when you need it most.
The ingredients list doesn't stop there. MyProtein have also included lactospore pro-biotics to enhance digestion and improve the availability of nutrients within the bar itself. Nothing has been left to chance and with only 2.6g of sugar, it really is the perfect, wholesome snack.
Here at FitnessBeans we've sampled this supplement and it gets two thumbs up from us. Believe us, if we had more hands, there'd been even more thumbs being raised! It really is that good. This is helped partly by the flavours made available for purchase. These include chocolate mint, chocolate orange, forest fruit and vanilla and honeycombe with the latter winning it for us! So whether you enjoy a sweet or fruity taste, there really is something for everyone with these MyBar High Pro bars.
So there you have it, another sensational product from MyProtein. With the MyBar High Pro you have a supplement which does it all. From its ingredients list and taste to its ease of carrying and consumption, there really is benefit after benefit with this high protein snack.
Once again, MyProtein have delivered when it matters most. So if you're bored of protein shakes or just fancy adding some variation into your diet, then why not try MyProtein's MyBar High Pro today.

Exterior: Product Selection FAQs
Recent Questions
Q: Is acrylic latex paint a good product for rough-sawn exterior grade plywood siding? Should the plywood siding be treated with a preservative before applying the primer and then topcoat?
A: Quality acrylic latex paint is an excellent choice for painting rough-sawn exterior plywood siding. Preservative treatment of the wood before painting is not necessary if proper construction practices are followed when installing the siding. There should be no contact of the bottom edge of the siding with soil or other surfaces where water can puddle.
Q: I am painting a 5-year old unpainted stucco house with some minor cracking. Is it better to patch the cracks and use acrylic latex paint or use an elastomeric type paint? If I use an elastomeric, is it re-paintable in the future using latex?
A: As for leaving the stucco unfinished, only the manufacturer of the material can tell you what effect a winter's weathering would have on it. Loxon Exterior Acrylic Masonry Primer is the correct primer for new stucco. It cannot be used below 50° F. A-100 is a topcoat that is meant to be applied down to 35°F, yet not meant to be applied to fresh, hot, masonry surfaces.
Q: What is the best type of paint to use on shutters?
A. Gloss paints are best for paintable shutters and trim because they accentuate architectural details and their finish tends to be hard and smooth.
Q: What is the best kind of paint to use on factory-primed hardboard siding?
A: Hardboard siding is manufactured by pressing a mixture of wood chips, binder and wax into shape and embossing with a wood grain pattern. Most of this siding is then factory-primed before shipment. To provide proper adhesion and to prevent wax staining, we recommend applying a quality alkyd-based primer before topcoating, whether the siding is preprimed or not. Once the alkyd primer has been applied, you can use either an acrylic latex or alkyd topcoat, depending on the customer's personal preference.
Q: I have an old, rusty tin roof to paint. What do you recommend?
A: First, determine that the roof is indeed tin, and not galvanized steel. If it is tin, clean and rinse the surface to remove any dirt, mildew or surface contaminants. After the roof is dry, apply a slow-drying, rust-inhibitive oil-based primer followed by two coats of a quality topcoat. Industrial-grade acrylics, slower-drying alkyds and aluminum paints can all be used for the finish coats. If the roof is galvanized, make sure it is clean, dry, and sound and then apply a primer like DTM Primer/Finish, following with two coats of DTM Acrylic Finish. Use a conventional roof coating material if the roof is flat.
Q: A customer wants me to repaint her off-white vinyl siding brown: but other painters have told me to stay away from dark colors on vinyl. Why?
A. Vinyl siding is a very flexible material that expands and contracts horizontally with temperature changes. In fact, when it is installed, the nails are not hammered all the way into the sheathing to allow for such movement. Since dark colors absorb more heat than light colors, painting the siding brown could cause it to flex so much that it could come unfastened or, in severe cases, even cause structural damage to the house. A good rule of thumb is to avoid using a paint color any darker than the original color of the siding unless the coating is specifically designed for such use Like Sherwin-Williams VinylSafe Technology.
Q: When painting exterior wood, some people recommend caulk to keep moisture out of the wood; others say you should leave gaps to allow the house to breathe. Which is right?
A: Both ideas are correct. Since moisture is the culprit in many cases of exterior peeling, it's important to use a good quality, acrylic caulk to fill gaps around windows and doors, joints in siding and trim boards, and anywhere moisture could get into the end-grain wood. However, you also need to make sure that moisture generated inside the house has a way to escape. The best way to "allow a house to breathe" is gable, roof, and eave vents. If you are correcting an existing moisture-related peeling problem, you may also need to install siding wedges or vents to give the moisture an easier path of escape than through the paint film. Caulking where the siding overlaps is not advisable, as it could trap moisture behind the paint, causing it to peel.
Q: How can I upgrade a coating system from an alkyd to a urethane or epoxy without completely removing the old finish?
A: In many cases, the application of a high-solids universal primer or barrier coat will allow the application of a strong solvent-based epoxy or urethane over a previous coating. Using a barrier coat reduces the likelihood of the solvents in the topcoat lifting previous finishes and eliminates the need for costly and time-consuming removal of all existing paint.
Q: I need to paint a new concrete deck around an in-ground swimming pool. What can I use that will not be affected by the water and chemicals?
A: Stay away from conventional floor coatings such as epoxies and alkyd floor enamels. While an epoxy would withstand the exposure to the pool water, both of these types of paints would be far too slippery to use around a pool. Since the concrete is new, an acrylic concrete coating like Sher-Crete Flexible Concrete Waterproofer would be your best choice.
Q: What kind of paint works best on galvanized surfaces?
A: After allowing the galvanized surface to weather for six months or chemically cleaning it to remove any oil or remnants of the galvanizing process, you can apply two coats of an acrylic latex paint directly to the metal or a special galvanized metal primer topcoated with an alkyd or latex product. Do not apply an alkyd directly to a galvanized metal surface because the oils will react with the zinc used in the galvanizing process, causing the alkyd to peel.
Q: My house is 35 years old and has aluminum siding that was painted once by the previous owner. It is now starting to peel. I am planning to paint the soffits, which are wood, and the gutters, which are aluminum. Can you offer advice?
A: The first thing I recommend is a good pressure washing of the entire home. This will help remove contaminants that could affect adhesion of the new paint and should also remove any peeling paint from the aluminum siding. I also recommend you have someone at your local Sherwin-Williams Paint store look at the peeling paint to determine what caused it to peel so you can correct the problem. Assuming that none of the wood soffits or aluminum gutters are peeling, you shouldn't need a primer. Primers are usually necessary only when you are painting a bare substrate. Make sure that any glossy areas are sanded to remove the gloss. Remove any old, cracked caulking and replace with new acrylic latex caulk. The longest lasting paint for exterior use is Duration Exterior Coating. Duration is available in a variety of sheens -- flat, satin and gloss. As for application method, it's up to you. If you have the equipment to spray, it's certainly the quickest way to get the job done. Rolling would be difficult on the aluminum siding. Brushing is acceptable, but very time consuming.
Q: I have a contract to paint the exterior of an apartment complex with rough, vertical grooved plywood siding. Most of the previous solid color stain is worn away. What should I use for the longest lasting job?
A: Alkyd paints are "usually" not recommended for application direct to aluminum because of possible saponification (a reaction between the fatty acids in the alkyd and the aluminum salts when moisture is present). Since most aerosol spray enamels are alkyd based, you have the potential for problems when you apply them to aluminum. An epoxy ester or acrylic aerosol spray would be a better choice for painting small pieces of clean aluminum.
Q: What is better on exterior rough sawn plywood siding: stain or paint; latex or oil?
A: Since plywood is made up of many layers of wood that expand and contract, coatings applied to it are prone to cracking and checking. Stain is an ideal coating for rough sawn siding since it is designed to provide a natural, rustic appearance. Use either an alkyd semi-transparent or an alkyd or latex solid color stain. If a less-natural finish is desired, an acrylic latex primer followed by an acrylic latex topcoat can also be used. These types of paint will protect the wood from the elements and be resistant to cracking and checking. Avoid using an alkyd primer and topcoat system, as it could lead to early paint failure and possible damage to the siding from moisture and sunlight.
Q: What type of caulk should I use to fill cracks in my stained cedar siding before re-staining?
A: If you're using a semi-transparent stain, find a stain and an acrylic latex caulk that match, re-stain then caulk. Semi-transparent stain doesn't do a good job over caulk. If you're using a solid color stain, caulk with the same acrylic latex caulk, then stain. A clear caulk will also work.
Q: What colors are least likely to fade when used outside?
A: First of all, realize that all exterior paints will eventually lose some of their color integrity. However, the rate of color loss will vary from color to color and paint to paint. Organic colors (blues and greens) will tend to fade more quickly than inorganic colors (brown and yellow iron oxides). Also, high-quality acrylic latex house paints will retain their color better than solvent-based paints. In general, higher quality exterior latex house paints will resist fading better than lower-cost latex house paints. Remember, interior paints are not designed to hold up in exterior applications. Fade resistance is one of the most noticeable benefits of exterior formulated paints.
Q: Many homeowners want their doors, windows and shutters covered with a semi-gloss latex paint because they believe it will wear better than a flat latex. Is semi-gloss more resistant to abrasion and wear than a flat latex?
A: Semi-gloss latex paints contain more binder than flat paints, so they do tend to be more durable. In general, the greater the volume of latex binder in a paint, the better its toughness, adhesion and color retention. Semi-gloss paints are also more stain resistant than flat paints, so they'll pick up less dirt and tend to wear better than flat latex paints.
Q: Why is it so common that the deep colors (hunter greens, deep burgundies) never touch up, even when using the same paint that was originally used just a few days or weeks later?
A: Deep colors are naturally loaded with pigments that need to stay dispersed in the paint during application. If the paint is not stirred frequently, you could be applying different concentrations of colored pigments at different times during application. Then when you go back to touch up with a freshly stirred bucket of paint, you could be putting more or less pigment onto the wall, causing it to look different. When touching up painted surfaces, it's a good idea to use the original can of paint and reduce it 15 to 25 percent. This will prevent film buildup, which can also cause a difference in appearance. You should apply the touch-up paint with the same type of applicator (brush, roller or spray) you used to apply the original paint. This will prevent texture differences, which make the touch-up areas more visible.
Q: Will acrylic latex house paint stand up to a harsh seashore environment where there is high humidity, wind-driven rain and salt? Or must an oil-based paint be used?
A: Acrylic latex paints have demonstrated outstanding durability in the most rugged environments including direct sunshine, moisture from rain and snow, and at the seashore. Due to the superior adhesion of acrylic latex paints, they don't tend to blister, crack or flake when exposed to rain or high humidity. Remember that the most important part of repainting is surface preparation. While priming is usually not necessary for some repaint surfaces when using an acrylic latex paint, it's a good idea to prime any bare wood. For the best performance in the seashore environment you describe, it's advisable to carefully wash away any salt deposits found on the surface to be painted along with any "chalk."
Q: Is it advisable to apply an exterior alkyd over an existing latex?
A: No, it isn't. The alkyd layer will get hard and brittle as it ages, but the latex underneath will remain flexible. As time passes, the latex layer will flex and move with the expansion and contraction of the substrate more than the alkyd topcoat will. This will compromise the adhesion of the alkyd to the underlying latex and cause the alkyd topcoat to peel.
Q: Does bleach really kill mildew on a wood deck?
A: Chlorine bleach (sodium hypochlorite), when mixed in proper proportions, removes mildew stains and kills the living mildew spore growth on the wood surface. However, it will not kill mildew deep in the wood. Mildew needs nutrients to live. A bare, unprotected wood surface provides a lot of food for the spores to thrive on. The same is true for deck stains that contain linseed oil. Once the deck is bleached and pressure washed, make sure the wood is thoroughly dry before staining. Use mildew-resistant clear finishes, semitransparent and solid color stains, like those from the SuperDeck® line designed specifically for decks.
Q: What's the best way to paint exterior brick? What techniques will give it a unique finish or texture?
A: First, let new brick weather a year before painting. This allows any ores in the brick a chance to leach out. It's a good idea to pressure wash the brick before painting to get rid of any powdery mortar or deposits on the brick. Allow the brick to dry several days before painting. If the brick has a glaze on it, and it doesn't absorb water, you'll need to abrade the brick in some way to open it up so the primer will absorb into it. Make sure the brick is clean before priming. We suggest priming with Loxon Exterior Masonry Primer or Loxon Masonry Conditioner. After priming, topcoat with two coats of a 100% acrylic paint, such as Super Paint. You can add some texture by using an exterior sand finish texture paint or an exterior stucco finish paint as your finish coat.
Q: I have a house with masonite siding that hasn't been painted in several years. In places the paint is in really bad shape. What is the best way to remove the old paint? Do you recommend a quick-drying primer/sealer for priming damaged masonite siding?
A: The best way to remove the old paint is by scraping and sanding to bare wood. Be careful not to be too aggressive or you'll damage the siding. If the siding has deteriorated, or is "swelling" due to water absorption, it should be replaced. I recommend an exterior grade alkyd primer followed by two coats of acrylic latex house paint. The alkyd primer is best because it seals better on the lower edge of the siding, which helps prevent edge swell, a common problem on hardboard siding.
Q: Do acrylic latex primers and topcoats "breathe" to allow moisture vapor to pass through? Does this breathability diminish when a second topcoating and subsequent repainting is done?
A: Studies have shown 50 gallons of water is vaporized into the air of an average home each day from cooking, bathing, laundry and people. Much of this moisture passes through the walls. If the exterior coating traps moisture, blistering and peeling will occur. Moisture vapor is more likely to pass through acrylic latex paint films than through solvent alkyd types. It's true that application of additional coatings will reduce moisture vapor transmission, simply on the basis of increased film thickness. However, even with several coats applied, the latex film will be adequately permeable to water vapor and better than alkyd paint films of comparable thickness.
Q: Why should I use a 100% acrylic house paint instead of a less expensive vinyl acrylic?
A: The benefits of using a 100% acrylic versus a vinyl acrylic or alkyd modified exterior latex are improved adhesion and better gloss retention, and fade- and mildew-resistance. As a result of this improved durability, you don't need to repaint as frequently. You may pay a few dollars more per gallon for a 100% acrylic paint, but when you factor in the extra years of service your customers get from the paint job, it actually costs them less and saves you time on expensive call-backs.

IT'S one of the big questions that no one has yet answered satisfactorily. What is the relationship between mind and the physical world?
Exploring this relationship can be fascinating, but we still conduct our investigations in the shadow of René Descartes's famous proposition that mind and matter are utterly different, first put forward in the 17th century. So powerful is the Cartesian notion that reality consists of a duality of mind and matter, that it has proved the greatest stumbling block in the search for an adequate theory of mind.

As published in the Sept. 6, 2006 issue of The Seattle Times
Don't let interest groups influence judicial choices
By Julia K. Stronks, J.D., Ph.D.
Special to The Seattle Times
This fall we will elect three state Supreme Court justices. These elections are hard for voters. When voter turnout for other positions is around 40 percent, the number of people who actually vote for judges can be as low as 20 percent. The main reason is that judicial elections rarely give us the same political "cues" as other elections. We know so little about the candidates, it can be hard to make choices.
Washington is one of seven states that have what is supposed to be a nonpolitical Supreme Court election. Our judicial candidates do not affiliate with political parties and are not allowed to make political promises. In theory this makes sense because the judiciary is supposed to interpret what the law says in a nonideological way. Politics is not supposed to enter in. However, as the recent Washington Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) case demonstrates, politics always influences the judiciary.
The DOMA case upheld the state ban against same-sex marriage, but the opinion had no majority perspective. Six of the nine justices wrote separately; the case is interesting because the way different justices articulated the rights at stake "outed" their political preferences. Sadly, the case also gives a more public platform to political interest groups formed to influence the upcoming election.
Judges adhere to certain tests to determine whether our rights have been unconstitutionally tampered with. Different states' legal approaches to same-sex marriage have hinged on two things. First, do judges see the right as fundamental? Fundamental rights receive the highest protection. Second, do judges see withholding of marriage licenses to gay couples to be arbitrary? Arbitrary laws rarely survive judicial scrutiny.
Marriage has been determined by the Supreme Court to be a fundamental right. If same-sex marriage cases are analyzed as the right to marry, the right receives high protection. Same-sex activity, however, has not been assessed as a fundamental right. If same-sex marriage cases are analyzed as the right to be in a gay union, the right receives only minimal protection.
In Massachusetts, the state Supreme Court said the right at stake was the right to have equal access to government benefits without arbitrary discrimination. Under this test the law barring same-sex marriage failed, and same-sex couples were allowed the same access to the government's marriage-license system as other couples.
In Washington, most of the justices said the right at stake was the right to marry someone of the same sex. Here the test standard was very low and the legislation was upheld.
However, some of the dissenting Washington justices took the approach of the Massachusetts court. These justices were then severely criticized by their fellow jurists. The accusation was that the dissenting justices did not understand constitutional law and were being stubbornly political. Court watchers reading the opinion were surprised by the tone of the justices. The Washington Supreme Court is normally respectful of different legal analyses and is respected by the courts of other states.
This case was difficult and it stirred emotion on both sides. It demonstrated that it is very hard to remove politics from the court. But, those of us irritated by the fact that the decision was not more squarely in favor of DOMA, or angered by the result of the case, or concerned about the demeanor of the justices, have to caution ourselves. If we are interested in selecting wise justices who focus on careful legal analysis and interpretation of the law, we have to be sure that we do not let politics control our perspective.
As we prepare to select justices this fall, we will be contacted by interest groups that have formed to seek advantage in the courts. The groups have professional-sounding names like "the Constitutional Law PAC," but when we look at what these groups are, we see that they are often funded by organizations with a strong political agenda. Ignore these groups. The best sources of information about judicial candidates are the bar associations and practicing lawyers.
Bar associations are not politically neutral, but they are better than we are at assessing the intellectual acumen and judicial temperament of judicial candidates. They know whether a candidate can write and analyze, and they may know whether he or she has the ability to develop consensus on a bench made up of different justices with different opinions.
If we allow interest groups or politics to control our judicial selections, we participate in politicizing the court. That is bad for democracy.

Here's a very interesting-looking new video from Giga which apparently features an entire army of heroines (or villains). It's called Female Combatant Bolero (probably in honor of Maurice Ravel, everyone's third- or fourth-favorite French composer). I've not seen the video yet, but some of these images look very interesting.
"Female Combatant Bolero" from Giga
OMG! Unconscious women in fishnets and boots OVERLOAD!! Must Buy!
I think they´re slaughtered and dead but that doesn´t matter. It looks so hot. I´ll buy it.
Does anyone know how to watch the movies? I have Win Media Player 11 and VLC player, and real player and none of them work. They give you a chance to "test" your player, and I couldn't get any of them to play the test movie. Anyone know what to do? Thanks!
fan4231, are you using explorer? because I was using chrome and it wouldnt work but when I went to Internet explorer it worked fine 😛
Thanks, voice. I have IE but it still doesn't play. I was able to watch their preview, but their test movie doesn't work properly. Their explanation of how to get their movies to play is ridiculous. It asks you to go into DRM hidden folders and all of that – anyone know an easy way? Thanks again!
That does look interesting, never see a video of that nature with such a large cast made here.
Although I welcome any producer out here in North America to prove me wrong, lol.
Would anyone be up for co-funding a custom video similar to this but with an American producer?
I can really see Heroine Legends doing a good job with a video like this.

Teen Mom
Are Catelynn Lowell and Tyler Baltierra Breaking Up?
You guys, we're worried about Tyler Baltierra. This lovable teen papa is leaving New Orleans and returning to Michigan on Monday, November 19, but it looks like he's not 100 percent excited about going home to his fiance, Teen Mom's Catelynn Lowell. In fact, there's some major trouble in paradise.
"So confused … head is all over the place right now … what is right for me? What do I deserve? Am I too forgiving at times? #idk," Tyler tweeted late Sunday night.
Whoa, there! What is going on with our honey boo boo?
"Your heart lies 2 u," Tyler continued. "Tells you want 2 hear...its your gut that never lies, it is the RAW TRUTH that your heart does not want to face yet."
Meanwhile, Catelynn also seems to be going through a rough time. "Sometimes I feel like I'm totally f—ed up..." she tweeted on November 18.
Tyler and Cate have stayed quiet since these mysteriously melancholy tweets, but we'll see what happens once Tyler comes home later today. Fingers crossed that our favorite couple will get through this rough patch!

Both Sides Now (House)
|"Both Sides Now"
|House episode
|Episode no.
|Season 5
Episode 24
|Directed by
|Greg Yaitanes
|Written by
|Doris Egan
|Original air date
|May 11, 2009
|Guest actors
"Both Sides Now" is the twenty-fourth episode and season finale of the fifth season of House. It originally aired on May 11, 2009.
House wakes up at his apartment after spending the night with Cuddy. He discovers that she has left her lipstick on his bathroom counter, as well as on his cheek. House pockets the lipstick, and goes to work with a smile and a remarkable lack of pain.
House and the team are intrigued by Scott (Ashton Holmes), a man who has undergone a corpus callosotomy procedure to treat epilepsy. The procedure left him with independently functioning left and right brain hemispheres and two distinct personalities, resulting in loss of conscious control over some of his actions, including those of his left hand, a condition known as alien hand syndrome.
As the two sides of Scott's brain struggle for dominance, his warring personalities make it increasingly difficult for the team to figure out what is causing the unique problem. The team is forced to use some unusual methods to get him to cooperate with their necessary testing.
Meanwhile, Cuddy tells House that their relationship must be that of employer and employee. House tells Wilson that he kicked his drug habit and had sex with Cuddy; Wilson advises that he talk to her, advice which House ignores. Instead he begins a campaign to annoy and provoke her, an attempt to break through her composure.
When, as part of this plan, House refuses to make his scheduled appearances in the clinic, Cuddy begins referring patients to see House in his private office, specifically a pesky elderly man named Eugene Schwartz (guest star Carl Reiner) who claims that he has been having a problem with "squawking."
In a final attempt to provoke Cuddy into examining her true feelings for him, House announces to everyone in the main lobby of the hospital that he had sexual relations with Cuddy. Cuddy responds by confronting him in a hallway, and then firing him after he suggests that they move in together. Cuddy storms off but before House can do anything else, Eugene Schwartz approaches to inquire about his squawking condition again.
House initially diagnoses it as acid reflux causing his vocal cords to tense, but when Schwartz adjusts his belt due to soreness, House realizes Schwartz has pancreatic cancer, which was the root cause of the acid reflux. At the same time, it is reported that the patient with alien hand syndrome, Scott, is really suffering from a reaction to an ingredient in the industrial-strength deodorant he uses.
House then goes to talk to Cuddy in her office, and asks her if she could possibly be overreacting to the previous night. She finally admits that maybe she is, since he's "said plenty of lousy things to [her] before." House seems confused, as he assumed that she was overreacting to her and House having sex and what it could mean to their employer-employee relationship.
But he realizes that Cuddy's reactions all day have not been consistent, and that something is wrong with his own memory of the situation. He had been troubled for the day on why she left no lipstick marks on her coffee cup, despite the fact that she left her lipstick at his place the night before, and it had smeared on House during sex.
House then has a flashback to the night (from the episode "Under My Skin") before when he thought he told Cuddy that he needed her help with his addiction. He suddenly sees the reality of what has happened: he never told Cuddy he was having hallucinations that night. His final words of the evening were: "you can go suckle the little bastard child that makes you feel good about yourself." Aggrieved at this very remark, she left the office and went home, never accompanying him to his apartment.
House snaps back to reality and tries to explain to Cuddy that that's not what actually happened, saying "I told you I needed you, and you helped me." He reaches into his pocket to remove the lipstick, but, to his horror, he discovers that it is actually a bottle of Oxycodone which states 'not to exceed'. He drops the bottle on the floor and slowly backs away from it. Cuddy, now realizing House is deeply disturbed, rushes to him and asks if he is okay. He doesn't respond, but then has another flashback, and realizes what happened. The whole previous night was a complete hallucination, beginning from him telling Cuddy that he needed her to help him detox and her accompanying him home. His memory of Cuddy staying by his side at his apartment was not real, and, in fact, he spent the night popping pills by himself. Hallucinations of Amber and Kutner then appear and tell House that while the story he invented about himself is nice, it's not true. House finally looks at Cuddy and is able to shakily tell her that he is not okay.
Cuddy goes to Wilson's office, and looks troubled upon entering. House then follows, visibly distressed, prompting Wilson to concernedly stand up, and he seems to realize what happened. The last scene cross cuts between shots of Cameron and Chase's wedding and Wilson driving House to Mayfield Psychiatric Hospital. The rest of the Princeton-Plainsboro team happily looks on at the wedding, while House and Wilson share a strained, silent goodbye.
Although Mayfield Psychiatric Hospital is fictitious, the building into which House is admitted was a psychiatric hospital in New Jersey, Greystone Park Psychiatric Hospital, now abandoned. Some filming also occurred there for the sixth season.[1]
- The song Scott's left hand plays air guitar to is "China Grove" by The Doobie Brothers.
- The song that plays during the final scene is "As Tears Go By" by The Rolling Stones and The Vitamin String Quartet.

"This pedometer does not record steps accurately, resets itself, is not user friendly, and (overall) is disappointing. I now need to purchase a different product (from someone else) because it is unusable. It is a sleek design, but that does not make up for the fact that it does not fulfill its main purpose. Disappointing, at best."

"The pedometer is very accurate however it resets itself often. The pedometer is reset when you hold down the button while displaying the steps. Whenever I sit or bend over, the pedometer toggles through the different displays. I guess it finds its way to the display where it resets itself. If I could find a way to keep the buttons from being pressed, this would work great. They should have a case to put it in to prevent this from happening when worn."

Library summer reading participants have chance to win $1,000 college savings account
Frankfort, Ky. – Eight Kentucky children will win $1,000 toward college this year by participating in a summer reading program at their local public library. The Kentucky Department for Libraries and Archives (KDLA) and the Kentucky Education Savings Plan Trust (KESPT) will sponsor the Destination College Savings Sweepstakes as part of the 2011 Summer Reading Program at participating libraries across the Commonwealth.
The sweepstakes, which runs from June 1 - Aug. 19, will award eight $1,000 college savings accounts to children 18 years or younger. In addition, each winner's local public library will receive $500 toward future reading programs. Parents can enter for their children by filling out an entry form at their library when their children sign up for the Summer Reading Program.
"Our Summer Reading Programs have more than 100,000 children participating statewide every summer," said Heather Dieffenbach, children and youth consultant at KDLA. "The Destination College Savings Sweepstakes not only encourages families to get involved at their local library, but also increases awareness of the importance of reading throughout the summer and saving for college early with KESPT."
"Children who enjoy and engage in reading and learning are more likely to be successful in both the classroom and later on in life," said First Lady Jane Beshear. "This program serves as an excellent tool to not only promote children's literacy but also assist in funding our students' higher education ambitions."

Forests.org, a project of EcoInternet
July 5, 2009
In partnership with Rainforest Rescue (Rettet den Regenwald)
The government of the rainforest rich country of Papua New Guinea (PNG) is sending out deeply conflicting signals regarding whether they will protect their rainforests, the Earth's third largest, using carbon markets, or will continue with destructive and often illegal logging and oil palm projects. PNG has been a leading proponent for UN carbon market based "Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation" (REDD) -- to pay for ancient forest protection with carbon monies. PNG is likely to be one of the main beneficiaries of UN proposals to integrate forest protection projects into the global carbon market as part of any deal in Copenhagen that succeeds the Kyoto Accord at the end of the year.
Yet PNG continues to allocate massive primary rainforest areas to first time industrial logging and intensive clearing for oil palm plantations; almost all of which are illegal, against local desires, and fraught will violence and corruption. Loggers and the government are beginning to claim such ecologically and socially devastating activities are "sustainable forest management" and protect the climate and are thus eligible for REDD carbon payments. The new Office of Climate Change (OCC) director recently was fired after issuing unofficial carbon credits worth millions of dollars from 39 different forestry projects, without the consent of their landowners, and before proper verification and legislation are in place.
Most shockingly, the PNG government recently went so far as to successfully recommend that Tiong Hiew King, the chairman of notorious Rimbunan Hijau logging and PNG's most well-known illegal logger, be knighted by the Queen! The matter is causing controversy in the UK, as two weeks after the knighting by Queen Elizabeth II, no British authority is prepared to take responsibility for the step, which appears to be increasingly embarrassing for the Royals and the British government. Particularly as it came only six weeks after Prince Charles launched an internet initiative to preserve the world's dwindling rainforests and prevent "catastrophic climate change". He has not yet indicated whether this includes continued first time industrial primary rainforest logging, yet the award suggests it does.
REDD was proposed originally to avoid deforestation AND diminishment. It was intended to fully protect intact primary forests, so that local peoples and governments could benefit from standing rainforests, rich in carbon and biodiversity. The meaning is now being watered down to include first time selective industrial logging of primary forests (mythical 'sustainable forest management') and perhaps even plantation establishment in primary forests. It appears the PNG and other governments supporting REDD are doing so primarily for the money, and not out of a desire to address climate change in the most effective manner -- by keeping their forests standing forever. Concerns that REDD will legitimate continued industrial forestry and land seizures in primary forests appear to be coming true.
The PNG government has a choice. They can either be paid by carbon markets to fully protect their forests from industrial activities, or they can continue with business as usual logging and oil palm (albeit ending illegal land grabs). But they cannot destroy and diminish their forests, and be paid to protect them too. Please ask the PNG government to demonstrate they are serious about REDD proposals and immediately ban all industrial clearance of primary forests. Further, they must establish a commission of inquiry into the logging, oil palm and carbon industries; expel Rimbunan Hijau and other loggers and oil palm projects, and commit to strict protection of their rainforests through carbon markets and small scale community eco-forestry. And call on the Queen and Prince to strip Tiong of his knighthood over his criminal logging record. Make clear solutions to global climate, biodiversity and related ecological crises have no place for carbon market subsidized ancient forest logging.

For climate and biodiversity, no such thing as sustainable forest management in primary forests
Your Message:
Dear Prime Minister Somare,
I am deeply concerned by your government's conflicting signals on rainforest protections. On the one hand, you support REDD proposals to use carbon money to pay your great country of Papua New Guinea for their protection, but on the other hand, you continue to promote new and expanded first time industrial logging and oil palm plantation establishment in primary rainforests. Sir, you cannot destroy your forests while at the same time being paid by the international community for their protection.
Your government's steadfast support for REDD has been sullied by putting well-known criminal logger Tiong Hiew King forward for a knighthood, by the corruption of the Office of Climate Change issuing permits before regulations or landowner approval, and your general failure to grasp that first time industrial logging of primary forests can never be compatible with climate and biodiversity protection; nor can it ever bring just, equitable and sustainable development to Papua New Guinea.
I urge you to get PNG's REDD climate program back on track by committing to good REDD -- which requires an end to primary forest logging and conversion, and that benefits from carbon payments for standing forests are primarily directed to local landowners. For decades Rimbunan Hijau and other have devastated PNG ecology and society, cutting down millions of year old ecosystems for small amounts and little or no lasting local development. It is time for this criminal corruption to end. REDD -- if properly pursued -- is a wonderful opportunity for your country, all her peoples, and indeed the world to benefit in the long-term from standing and fully intact rainforests.
Please demonstrate you are serious about REDD proposals, and that they are more than rhetoric and a scheme to access aid, and immediately ban all industrial clearance of primary forests in Papua New Guinea. Further, please immediately establish a commission of inquiry into PNG's logging, oil palm and carbon industries; cancel, expel and if necessary indict Rimbunan Hijau and other loggers and oil palm projects that are breaking laws; and commit to strict protection of your rainforests through carbon markets and small scale community eco-forestry. And call on the Queen to strip Tiong of his knighthood over his long history of illegal logging.
I turn your government's prescient words at Bali back upon you: "We seek your leadership. But if for some reason you are not willing to lead, leave it to the rest of us. Please get out of the way." Mr. Somare, please lead on establishing strict rainforest protections in Papua New Guinea that are worthy of carbon payments, or if you are unable or unwilling, please step aside.

How do i load the animation files from Walk Designer for M4 and V4 in DS? I can only find the poses/
I'm too stubborn to quit.
Time for a refund bro, those are POSER only for FULL features. They might work in Carrara but I do not know if they do or not.
Exile, Drows Walk: A Tale of Jaderail starts here. Free pulp fiction at its Fantasy best, Updated 2/3/14.
Proud Member of the Bald Wizards Club My stuff at DeviantArt
Haven't triedit in Carrara yet. I have a habit of building my scenes in DS and then rebuilding in C8Pro. I couldn't find any walk cycles that look casual.
I'm not sure what the issue is. The poses are animated and do work in DS. I understand there's functionality beyond that not included in DS, but it sounds like you just want a casual walk cycle.
Yes, I do. But I only found the static poses in my Poses folder.
Are the poses you speak of found under My Library\Runtime\libraries\Pose\WalkDesigner, and have you tried clicking on various frames of the timeline after applying one of the poses? No keyframes are added, so it might look like there isn't an animation being added, but in my experience, there is.
If yes to the above and it's still just a static pose, then I'm not sure what's up.
try looking under pose/universal poses for the animations
WARNING do not click what video horrors will be seen if you do cannot be unseen.
my render thread
never forget
A Drows Walk
Jaderail is at it again
The walk designer files should be placed "automatically" into a Poser Format's folder,. inside (Poses) called "Walk designer"
The Basic animation can be used in either DS or Carrara,. but only poser has an actual animation mixer, (walk designer)
which allows you to create a new walk style, by mixing values of the pre-set animations, plus any custom walk animations you've made.

I've found a bug in JoomFish version 2.1.5 when testing it with ARTIO JoomSEF extension causing "500 - No valid database connection" error message.
In the file /plugins/system/jfdatabase/intercept.jfdatabasemysql.php on line 161 there is an if statement:
- Code: Select all
if (strpos(strtoupper($tempsql),"SELECT")===false) {
which does not correctly recognize SELECT queries. For example the query like this:
- Code: Select all
INSERT INTO sometable VALUES ('select');
The strpos function finds the "select" word in the query and the if statement fails causing that the function setRefTables() does not return immediately. Then on the line 225:
- Code: Select all
$fields = $this->_getFieldCount();
the _getFieldCount() function is called checking the $this->_cursor variable on line 76:
- Code: Select all
if (!is_resource($this->_cursor)){
which raises an error because the INSERT query never returns a resource, just the boolean true or false.
The mysqli version (intercept.jfdatabasemysqli.php) does not have this problem, because its _getFieldCount() function does not raise an error when $this->_cursor is not a resource.
Hope this report will help you to solve the problem soon.
Best regards,
ARTIO JoomSEF developer

I grew up in Saginaw, MI and remember Shakey Jake from the streets in the neighborhood where I lived. This was in the mid 60's when I was about six years old. My siblings and I used to give him change to play songs on his guitar and sing for us. The streets of Saginaw turned quite violent by 1970 and I imagine that this was around the time that Jake moved from Saginaw to Ann Arbor, as my family moved out of Saginaw for that reason in 1974. About 20 years ago I was sorting through mail at the business where I am employed and came across a misdirected postcard. I couldn't believe it! It was Jake sitting on a park bench with his guitar, on the U of M campus in Ann Arbor. I had always wondered what had happened to him. RIP Jake...I know you will be missed.

10 jQuery Plugins and Techniques for Doing More with Images
When we see an image on a web page, it's second nature for us to move our mouse over it or try to click it. We have come to expect some level of interactivity when it comes to images, especially with modern web design technologies, such as jQuery. If you happen to be working on a project that requires the images to have a little something extra, then jQuery is the way to go. To help you out, we've rounded up 10 jQuery Plugins and Techniques for Doing More with Images.
Photo Zoom Out Effect
Here you'll learn how to create a simple image zoom out effect with jQuery. The idea is show some images which are zoomed in initially and when hovering over an image it gets zoomed out. This effect could be used in photography websites or image galleries.
Jcrop is the quick and easy way to add image cropping functionality to your web application. It combines the ease-of-use of a typical jQuery plugin with a powerful cross-platform DHTML cropping engine that is faithful to familiar desktop graphics applications.
Zoomer Gallery
Zoomer Gallery allows you to easily transform your image lists into beautiful galleries with Flash-like zoom effects in them. It's a simple but elegant way of giving your interfaces a nice little shine and at only 2KB in size, it's both compact and surprisingly easy to use.
jQuery Captify Plugin
Captify is a plugin for jQuery written by Brian Reavis (@brianreavis) to display simple, pretty image captions that appear on rollover. It has been tested on Firefox, Chrome, Safari, and the wretched Internet Explorer.
Animate Panning Slideshow with jQuery
In this tutorial you'll take the makings of a classic slideshow, but use a different kind of transition to animate between slides.
Sponsor Flip Wall With jQuery & CSS
In this tutorial you'll learn to create an interactive sponsor wall that fits a lot of information and organize it clearly, so that the emphasis is put on your sponsors, and not on other elements of your design.
jSquares is a jQuery plugin that pops up an image and a description in an overlay on hover.
ZURB JavaScript Annotation Plugin

NFCC Brings Course to Birmingham
STARKVILLE, Miss. — The National Fastpitch Coaches Association brings its one-of-a-kind fastpitch softball instruction course, the National Fastpitch Coaches College (NFCC), to the campus of the University of Alabama at Birmingham Nov. 3-5.
The association will offer Course 403: Position Play and Practice under the instruction of some of the top names in fastpitch softball. NFCC director, former Northwestern head coach and NFCA Hall of Famer Sharon Drysdale will lead the course after guiding National Pro Fastpitch's New England Riptide to the league title over the summer.
Hofstra head coach Bill Edwards and St. Thomas head coach John Tschida join Drysdale in providing their insight as course instructors. Edwards has led the Pride to a regular- or post-season conference title each of the last 15 seasons, including nine straight from 1998-2006. Tschida, one of the most respected NFCC instructors, led his Tommies to back-to-back NCAA Division III championships in 2004 and 2005 and a runner-up showing last season.
The National Fastpitch Coaches College offers coaches an educational experience that is unrivaled by any other softball clinic. Unlike most offerings, the NFCC takes one specific topic and focuses on that one facet of the game the entire weekend.
The Birmingham offering will provide in-depth instruction guiding coaches in practice planning, drills for each position, playing each position, charting players, defensive rules and more.
The NFCC is the perfect learning tool for seasoned coaches and newcomers to the fastpitch coaching ranks. Coaches who attend courses learn the sport in an entirely new way, providing interaction with instructors and colleagues.
The NFCC offers eight courses at different locations around the country, and coaches can take the courses for the learning experience or apply the credit to earning the title of Four-Star Master Coach. The courses can also work toward the completion of a master's degree in kinesiology with an emphasis in coaching from Texas Woman's University. High school coaches can earn two continuing education units per course through Mississippi State University.
The weekend course is $225 for NFCA members, and $200 if registered 14 days in advance. Coaches can join the association to receive the member discount or attend at the non-member rate of $250 ($225 if registered 14 days in advance).
Coaches needing additional information or wanting to sign-up for the course can do so online at http://nfca.org/college/ or by calling (662) 320-2155.

Jennifer Lawrence in a See-Through Shirt! The Hunger Games Star's Sexy Rolling Stone Cover
See-through tops seem to be all the rage in Hollywood these days, and now even Hunger Games star Jennifer Lawrence is getting in on the action!
The notoriously gutsy actress graces the cover of Rolling Stone's April issue wearing a white t-shirt made of fabric so thin it leaves very little to the imagination. Is she even wearing anything underneath?
Look, we know money is hard to come by for people living in the outlying districts of Panem, and most of what Katniss hunts goes directly towards getting more food for her family. But could she at least buy a bra? There are some things a girl just shouldn't go without!

Will new refinancing rules boost San Diego housing market?
We asked the U-T Housing Huddle, our group of 11 real estate experts
Do you believe the revamped refinancing rules will significantly improve the San Diego housing market?
Yes. 17% correct! (9)
No. 83% correct! (43)
52 total votes.
The Obama administration in late October announced big changes to a program that could help more than 1 million borrowers refinance their mortgages to lower their monthly payments.
Changes to the federal Home Affordable Refinance Program, widely known as HARP, include eliminating certain fees and the 125 percent loan-to-value cap for fixed-rate loans, which has impeded many borrowers from refinancing. We asked the U-T Housing Huddle, our group of 11 real estate insiders:
Do you believe the revamped rules will significantly improve the San Diego housing market?
•Paul Barnes, president of Shea Homes San Diego:
No. A meaningful improvement in the housing market will only come about due to the following factors: One, improved job growth, and two, an increase in consumer confidence. Without either factor improving, meaningful and significant improvements in the local housing market will be slow to come about. What is missing in our market is confidence that our economic condition is improving and employment prospects are favorable. That stated, HARP is one of several initiatives that will help the homeowners who want to stay in their homes and can take advantage of the program. There is no one "silver bullet" to cure our market. But, like trying to solve many problems, we must enact many solutions to help move the needle in a positive direction. The few homeowners the program helps are those who won't continue toward the path of foreclosure. However, meaningful change will only come about through a return to widespread economic prosperity. Those in leadership must make this their first priority, and enact policies that will let the private market grow confidently.
•Murtaza Baxamusa, directs planning and development for the Family Housing Corporation, of the San Diego Building Trades in Mission Valley:
No. With one in four single-family mortgages in San Diego underwater, any opportunity to reduce mortgage payments by locking in low interest rates will help stabilize the broader market. In neighborhoods with volatile prices, relaxation of rules on appraisals will generate some demand for mortgage refinances. However, the impact is likely to be dispersed, long-term and limited within the local housing market. This is because low-income neighborhoods that saw home equity disproportionately collapse, also have homeowners impacted by economic hardships and may have fallen behind on payments. Unless banks step up with vehicles to help a broader swath of struggling homeowners, the impact will be nominal.
•Kurt Branstetter, loan officer and mortgage manager at W.J. Bradley Mortgage in San Diego:
No. Although I certainly applaud any attempt to reward responsible homeowners who continue to make their payments despite declining home values. The new HARP guidelines are a step in the right direction but likely not enough to significantly improve our market. Not every loan will be eligible for refinancing through the program. I wish the program would extend to all homeowners, not just those loans owned by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac (a requirement of the HARP program). Homeowners are more likely to continue making payments if they are able to reduce their monthly payment by refinancing to a lower interest rate. A reward for playing by the rules is certainly a good idea.

Analysts surveyed by ThomsonReuters look for Facebook to report a 36% increase in revenues to $1.439 billion and a 30% rise in earnings per share (EPS) to $0.13 after the market closes on May 1.
But what should investors expect from Facebook over the longer-term? A look at the key components of Facebook's profit model — e.g., trends in the number of users, pricing, and variable and fixed costs — suggests that investors will have to hold their breaths as Facebook's expenses rise faster than revenues thanks to spiking headcount and plunging mobile advertising rates.
Here are six Facebook statistics worth watching.
1. Growth in active users
Is Facebook fatigue a concern for investors? Absolutely. Yet by one measure — active users – those who have used or contributed to Facebook in the past month — things are still good. Facebook enjoyed a 35% increase in the number of active users in the first quarter of 2013, according to Stream Social.
The bad news for Facebook is that Twitter is growing much faster — up 44% in the same period.
Stream Social attributes this growth to two factors: mobile — since the first quarter of 2011, 60.3% more people (818.4 million in total) are accessing the Internet via mobile — and older users.
If Facebook reports growth in active users that exceeds 35%, investors should smile a bit.
2. Facebook fatigue
And it's the old users — 55 to 64 year olds accounted for the most growth in Facebook competitor, Twitter's usage in the first quarter of 2013 – that may be contributing to Facebook fatigue. My conversations with college students in the last year suggest that some of them are losing interest in the social network — viewing it as a waste of time.
Moreover, the growing presence of their parents — who may try to snoop on their online activity — along with hiring managers who check potential employees' online profiles — may be scaring younger people away.
SocialBakers released statistics to marketers — it later claimed these were rough estimates — suggesting that the number of Facebook users in the U.S. fell 4% in April 2013 and 4.5% in the U.K. That translates into nine million fewer monthly visitors in the U.S. and two million fewer in the U.K. since October 2012 while users who remain spend less time on Facebook.
Investors should watch whether Facebook can offset fatigue in mature markets with rapid user growth in emerging ones.
3. Percent of revenues from mobile advertising
Facebook does not disclose this statistic. However, in the fourth quarter of 2012, analysts estimated that Facebook took in 23% of its revenues from mobile advertising — up from 14% the year before. That number was a disappointment to some analysts — who were looking for 25%, according to CNBC.
Investors are likely going to be cheered by a rapid rise in Facebook's mobile revenue share of total — more than 25% would be viewed positively.
4. Mobile advertising market share
Ever since its IPO about a year ago, investors have wondered whether Facebook could tap into the rapid growth of mobile advertising. eMarketer anticipates that mobile advertising will grow 77.3% to $7.29 billion by the end of 2013 and that market will continue to expand at a 38.9% annual rate through 2017.

He is the drone official, the bland-faced human-resources manager tasked with dropping the axe.
And that means they also fall under the umbrella of programs most likely to get the axe when state and federal budgets are tight.
A snowplow driver got the axe after posting a video of himself gleefully dumping snowdrifts onto cars earlier this winter.
Old English æces (Northumbrian acas) "axe, pickaxe, hatchet," later æx, from Proto-Germanic *akusjo (cf. Old Saxon accus, Old Norse ex, Old Frisian axe, German Axt, Gothic aqizi), from PIE *agw(e)si- (cf. Greek axine, Latin ascia).
The spelling ax is better on every ground, of etymology, phonology, and analogy, than axe, which became prevalent during the 19th century; but it is now disused in Britain. [OED]Meaning "musical instrument" is 1955, originally jazz slang for the saxophone; rock slang for "guitar" dates to 1967. The axe in figurative sense of cutting of anything (expenses, workers, etc.), especially as a cost-saving measure, is from 1922, probably from the notion of the headman's literal axe (itself attested from mid-15c.). To have an axe to grind is from an 1815 essay by U.S. editor and politician Charles Miner (1780-1865) in which a man flatters a boy and gets him to do the chore of axe-grinding for him, then leaves without offering thanks or recompense. Misattributed to Benjamin Franklin in Weekley, OED print edition, and many other sources.
The spelling ax, though "better on every ground, of etymology, phonology, & analogy" (OED), is so strange to 20th-c. eyes that it suggests pedantry & is unlikely to be restored. [Fowler]
1670s, "to shape or cut with an axe," from axe (n.). Meaning "to remove, severely reduce," usually figurative, recorded by 1922. Related: Axed; axing.
[musical instrument sense fr the resemblance in shape between a saxophone and an ax, and possibly fr the rhyme with sax]
A text editor for the X Window System. No longer maintained.
used in the Authorized Version of Deut. 19:5; 20:19; 1 Kings 6:7, as the translation of a Hebrew word which means "chopping." It was used for felling trees (Isa. 10:34) and hewing timber for building. It is the rendering of a different word in Judg. 9:48, 1 Sam. 13:20, 21, Ps. 74:5, which refers to its sharpness. In 2 Kings 6:5 it is the translation of a word used with reference to its being made of iron. In Isa. 44:12 the Revised Version renders by "axe" the Hebrew _maatsad_, which means a "hewing" instrument. In the Authorized Version it is rendered "tongs." It is also used in Jer. 10:3, and rendered "axe." The "battle-axe" (army of Medes and Persians) mentioned in Jer. 51:20 was probably, as noted in the margin of the Revised Version, a "maul" or heavy mace. In Ps. 74:6 the word so rendered means "feller." (See the figurative expression in Matt. 3:10; Luke 3:9.)
