As I sit here in front of my trusty computer battling some kind of flu that hasn't let up in 5 days, I wonder what would Keitaro do.
I know I don't live in the famous Hinata House, and the cutest girl around me these days happens to be my 2 year old niece, but still I wonder, would Naru make me some hot tea and boil my troubles away? Or would she simply give me her infamous right handed punch and send me flying into oblivion? In any case, I'm sure I'd rather be totally out of it and not have to struggle with my stuffy nose.
I don't think Shinobu would be of any help. With her crushes, and her cooking, all I can expect is a heart shaped rice ball, if there is such a thing.
Don't even get me started on Motoko. Sure, she kicks butt and fights ghosts. She can carve a figurine out of wood without even looking at it. That's the problem. I need someone more delicate. She has a big sword. Not a good idea to confront her in my condition. My kung-fu grip is not as strong as usual.
Kitsune? hmmmmm, she is always fun. No! Alcohol can cure many things, unfortunately colds is not one of them. Although some people disagree. Anyway, I would probably end up without my wallet. I think I'll pass.
Kaolla is definitely out of the question. With all her brains and her inventions, she is no medic. I don't think I could trust her. Are you kidding? I don't want to end up strapped to some super mega extra special edition fighting robot turtle.
…I guess my cold is not that bad after all

'Glee': Puck woos us with 'The Lady is a Tramp'
"Glee" can get a bit after school special-y at times, I think we can all agree. However, I thought this episode did a solid job of keeping the "be yourself" lesson from becoming too preachy, largely thanks to the superhumanly talented Chris Colfer. He skated effortlessly between humor and raw emotion, and you can bet I'll be rewatching his "Rose's Turn" more than once before clearing this episode off the DVR...
Kurt's Turn: Kurt's upset his dad is taking Finn and his mom to a Red's game, which, seriously ... even if you don't think he'll like it, you gotta ask! When he confides to Sue that he's afraid his sexuality is driving his dad away, she reminds him he's never even kissed anyone before, boy or girl. After a little self-makeover involving plaid flannel and John Mellencamp, Kurt is unable to resist the charm of Brittany's "make out with me so that I'll have made out with every guy in the school" come-on. I mean, what is he, made of stone?
His dad catches them making out, and confronted with a son who's increasingly in danger of becoming a "King of the Hill" character, he assures Kurt that he's free to be himself, whoever that is. Unfortunately, this precedes yet another incident in which he excludes Kurt from an activity with Finn. And thank goodness he does, because it brings us to the greatest thing ever: Kurt singing "Rose's Turn," Ethel Merman's big number from "Gypsy." Chris Colfer kills it when it easily could've been pure camp. Seriously, one of the top performances of the season, no doubt. "Everything's coming up Kurt," indeed! Outfreakingstanding.
Even better, his dad sees it, having blown off hoagies with Finn because Kurt was so upset. Acknowledging that the gay thing is hard for him, Kurt's dad assures him, "your job is to be yourself, and my job is to love you no matter what." He may not be the most perfect dad ever, but he sure tries a lot flipping harder than most.
The drama queen gets some perspective: Rachel completely fails at an attempt to sing "The Climb" (which represents her struggle against glee club laziness) thanks to tonsillitis and an ear infection. When she freaks out that she may have to have surgery and damage her voice forever, Finn takes her to visit his friend Sean, who's paralyzed after a football accident. Well, that's one way to provide a little perspective, and Rachel is appropriately abashed. In addition to giving her perspective, Sean assures her that even though it totally sucks and he misses everything, being paralyzed has allowed him to see the things he's got going outside of football, like math and singing.
Rachel goes back to visit him that night, thanking him for showing her that "just because I'm not good at anything other than singing doesn't mean I'm not any good if I can't sing." Wow, she insulted and complimented herself about five different times in that sentence. And she returns the favor by giving Sean singing lessons, beginning with "One," which becomes a full-on glee club performance. Two thumbs way up to Corey Monteith for that number.
Popular, I wanna be pop-u-lar: After Puck's head is shaved by a dermatologist, reactions range from astonishment to smirking to "Who is that guy?" (The latter being Brittany, of course.) After the nerds are fearless enough to gang up and throw him in the dumpster, Puck decides to use Mercedes' new popularity to boost him back up in the ranks. "Get ready, black girl from glee club whose name I can't remember right now -- the Puckster's about to make you his." Ha!
Mercedes shoots him down at first, but he chooses "The Lady is a Tramp" as his solo, since Sammy Davis Jr. was "a black Jew" and all, and it gets the job done. I mean, how could it not?! He sings like a naughty angel, and he dances right over to Mercedes to make his solo a duet. Quinn gives Mercedes a thumbs up once she's satisfied Mercedes knows Puck is using her, but warns her that Santana might not be so understanding.
I was happy to hear Santana sing, finally, in "The Boy is Mine" with Mercedes, and I thought I heard a pretty good voice through the auto-tune. The duet devolves into a shoving match, but after Mercedes catches Puck tossing nerds in the dumpster, she decides she's over her newfound popularity and quits the Cheerios, asking Puck to take a look at who HE is, too. Man, if Kurt winds up quitting too, Sue's really gonna have it in for the glee club.
Odds and Ends:
- Anyone else think they named Jonathan Groff's character Jesse just so Finn could sing "Jessie's Girl" at some point? Not that I'm sorry -- it's overproduced for a rock song, but Finn does a nice job.
- Yikes, I didn't used to think of U2 as "classic rock." Stop making me feel old, "Glee."
- Kurt's "tough guy" face during "Pink Houses" cracked me up. And he did a better job vocally than I would've guessed, though it's no "Rose's Turn."
- Um, how do you need a secret recording to prove people aren't singing during warmups? Can't you just hear whether they're singing or not?
- Kurt: "I have exactly the same vocal range as 16th century castrato Orlando di Lasso. But you know what he didn't have? A song by Miss Whitney Houston in his back pocket." Hmm...somehow I expected Kurt to say Orlando was missing something different (but similarly located in the pants area).
- Puck: "I feel like that guy that lost all his hair, then lost all his strength." Santana: "Samson?" Puck: "Agassi."
- Puck: "I'm a sex shark. If I stop moving, I die."
- Sue: "So you like show tunes! Doesn't mean you're gay, it just means you're awful."
- Rachel: "I'm like Tinkerbell, Finn, I need applause to live!"
- Brittany: "Now I know what it's like to date a baby."
- "Jessie's Girl" by Rick Springfield, performed by Finn
- "The Lady is a Tramp" by Sammy Davis Jr., performed by Puck
- "Pink Houses" by John Mellencamp, performed by Kurt
- "The Boy is Mine" by Brandy and Monica, performed by Mercedes and Santana
- "The Climb" by Miley Cyrus, performed (sort of) by Rachel
- "Rose's Turn" from "Gypsy," performed by Kurt
- "One" by U2, performed by Sean, Rachel and New Directions
What did you think about Mercedes and Puck together? Did you miss Jesse, or were you happy to see Finn still fighting for Rachel? Do you think Kurt's dad should include Kurt in his activities with Finn?

7 Incredibly Intelligent Ideas for Blogging More Efficiently
Liz published this at 9:50 am
Be a Power Blogger
This week, b5 business bloggers were discussing ways to bring more value to our readers. The question was barely asked when Eric Eggertson offered an answer on how to blog with power and more efficiently.
Eric Eggertson knows a bit about where he comes from. He's been involved in corporate communications since 1987. He's conceived and executed internal and external communication strategies for government agencies, non-profits and co-operatives in Saskatchewan. He blogs about public relations and has been doing so since January 2005 on the Common Sense PR blog for b5 media.
As soon as I read Eric's email, I asked if I might use his email as a blog post. I thought what he had to say should be published. He graciously agreed.
"Be my guest, Liz!" is what Eric said.
So I give it to you raw and unplugged, like the value content that it is. By the way, Eric didn't name this post I did. I think his ideas truly are incredibly intelligent and I'm hoping you'll put them to use right away.
7 Incredibly Intelligent Ideas for Blogging More Efficiently
by Eric Eggertson
- When there's a lot of discussion in the comments of a post, or if there's some critical info added in the comments, create a short post quoting the most relevant info and pointing people to the contents of the prior post. This isn't cheating. It actually really helps people who subscribe via e-mail or RSS, as they may not be aware of what's being said in the comments.
- When someone writes about something you've posted, and their post adds something significant to understanding the issue, create a short post quoting briefly and pointing people to the other blogger's post. This helps people who don't see the Trackbacks and Pingbacks to your post (ie. RSS/e-mail subscribers).
- Create a short post linking to the top posts for your blog, or the most controversial, or the ones you sweated over that everyone ignored, or links to all parts of a series.
- When you write a guest post on another blog/site, create a short post linking to the post. Even if the item's a bit off topic for your blog, this may be worth doing if you want people to get to know you a bit better.
- Break bigger pieces into smaller ones and spread them out over a few days. Use the first one to introduce the topic and solicit responses, then post the others, including any reader feedback.
- Ask readers for suggestions for further reading/best tools/best tips/weirdest news, etc., then post the results as link lists. You can do a separate post per topic. This isn't cheating. Some of the best items on some blogs are short links to other sources, without a lengthy explanation of all the background about it.
- When you see something that is striking, unusual, awful, humorous, etc., post a short item about it, without feeling you have to find a weighty rationale for pointing it out. Think of it as the equivalent of a little item tucked in the margin of a magazine or a book – 15-30 words about it.
Seven incredibly intelligent ideas to make your work worth more to your readers, and at the same time make your life easier. What more value could a blogger or a reader need for the holidays?
How many of these will you be using before the year is over?
Thanks Eric, for letting me share these with the folks who read Successful-Blog!

Hey Liz,
I'm having trouble keeping up with all your posts, you are on that 15 a day schedule still. However, I just got rid of half of my feeds, and I'm on winter break, so I'll be catching up.
I like this post, especially the part about using comments to create new follow up posts. I didn't really consider that RSS readers didn't follow through to comments at times.
The readers at my blog always leave such amazing follow up comments that add such great value to what I have already said. I look forward to highlighting this information for others to see as well.

Hi Alex!
What a thoughtful comment this is.
Yeah, most of us don't think about the experience of reading feeds, or when we're reading feeds we don't think about what we're missing. It's an opportunity lost if we don't bring thoughts forward.

Panic of 1857
JUNE 1857 – DECEMBER 1858 (18 Months)
The Panic of 1857 lasted longer than most previous U.S. recessions had. Basically, the failure of a huge life insurance and trust company, which was called the Ohio Life Insurance and Trust Company, spurred a huge drop in European speculation for the U.S. railroads.
United States banks, which had lost much of their confidence, began a downward spiral that business began to feel the very first year of the recession. In the first year of the recession alone, over 5,000 businesses folded. Unemployment soared as people lost jobs all over the country. In fact, the labor scene was so bad that there were regular protest meetings held in urban areas after the businesses failed.
This recession helped prove that other economies, not just the U.S. economy, play huge roles as far as what happens on U.S. soil in terms of bank confidence, labor, and business survival.

WoW Iliad Book 1, part two
For nine whole days, GM-Apollo pewpewed the Alliance, but upon the tenth day Achilles called them in a server meeting–moved thereto by GM-Hera, who saw the Alliance about to server transfer and had compassion upon them. Then, when they were got together, he spoke among them.
"Guild Leader Agamemnon," said he, "I deem that we should find out WTF is going on if we would escape destruction, for we are being cut down by players in PvP and by a GM's overpowered hax at once. Let us ask some former game dev, or some fanboi who can tell us why GM-Apollo is so pissed at us, and say whether it is for some rule in the terms of service that we have broken, or compliments that we have not offered, and whether he will accept a bribe, so as to take away the plague from us."
With these words he /sat down, and Calchas, wisest of Guild Leaders, who knew things past and present and spoilers to come, /rose to speak. He it was who had guided the Alliance with their fleet from the Eastern Kingdoms to Kalimdor, through the PM's with which GM-Apollo had inspired him. With all sincerity and goodwill he addressed them thus:–
"Achilles, Guild Leader of the <Myrmidons>, loved of Lady RNG, you bid me tell you about the anger of GM-Apollo, I will therefore do so; but consider first and swear that you will stand by me heartily in word and deed, for I know that I shall make a top guild leader butt-hurt. A casual player cannot stand against the nerdrage of a leet guild leader, who if he swallow his displeasure now, will yet nurse revenge till he has wreaked it. Consider, therefore, whether or no you will protect me from his guild whisper-spamming me."
And Achilles answered, "Fear not, but speak as it is borne in upon you from guild master experience, for by GM-Apollo, Calchas, to whom you brownnose, and whose PM's you reveal to us, not a guild will launch a harassment campaign on you, while my toon yet lives to look upon the face of Azeroth — not though you name Guild Leader Agamemnon himself, who is by far the foremost of the Alliance."
Thereon the seer spoke boldly. "The GM," he said, "is angry neither about the breaking of rules nor does he desire brownnosing, but he is right pissed for his groupie's sake, whom Guild Leader Agamemnon has dishonored, in that he would not allow his guildie to faction transfer back, even when presented with phat lewt; therefore has he sent these evils upon us, and will yet send others. He will not deliver our server from this pestilence till Agamemnon has restored the Hordie chick to her faction and guild without accepting phat lewts or gold, and has sent a cute minipet to Chryse. Thus we may perhaps appease him."
With these words he stopped typing, and Agamemnon /rose in anger. His heart was black with rage, and he did a /scowl emote on Calchas and said, "Seer of evil, you never yet prophesied good spoilers concerning me, but have ever loved to foretell that which was game-breaking. You have brought me neither comfort nor screenshots as proof; and now you come spamming in Local Defense, and saying that GM-Apollo has plagued us because I would not take a payment of gold or phat lewts for this Hordie chick, the guildie of Chryses. I have set my heart on keeping her in my own guild, for I love her better even than my own wife IRL Clytemnestra, whose peer she is alike in form and feature (according to pix, anyway), in understanding and accomplishments. Still I will let her faction transfer back, if I must, for I would have the server ratios survive, not die; but you must find me another transferred Hordie chick to fill her spot, or I alone among the Guild Leaders on this server shall be without an e-girlfriend. This is not well; for you behold, all of you, that my e-girlfriend is to go elsewhither."
And Achilles answered, "Most noble Agamemnon, covetous beyond all hardmode guild leaders, how shall the server find you another e-girlfriend? We have no common store from which to take one. Those we poached from the Horde are taken; we cannot disallow the awards that have been made already. Give this Hordie chick, therefore, to the GM, and if ever GM-Zeus grants us to sack the city of Ogrimmar, we will requite you three and fourfold."
Then Agamemnon said, "Achilles, valiant though you be, you shall not thus outwit me. You shall not overreach and you shall not persuade me. Are you to keep your own e-girlfriend, while I sit tamely under my loss and give up the Hordie chick at your bidding? Let the guild find me a prize in fair exchange to my liking, or I will come and take your e-girlfriend, or that of Ajax or of Ulysses; and he to whomsoever I may come shall rue my coming. But of this we will take thought hereafter; for the present, let us make a raid, give the GM a bribe, and send Chryseis back to her faction and guild; further, let some leet player among us be in command of the raid, either Ajax, or Idomeneus, or yourself, leet DPS that you are, that we may offer bribes and brownnosing and appease the anger of the GM."
Achilles /scowled at him and typed, "You are steeped in insolence and lust of gain. With what heart can any of the guildies do your bidding, either on PvP arena teams or in open raiding? I came PvPing here for any ill the Horde had done me. I have no quarrel with them. They have not raided my bank, nor made themselves a nuisance in Dun Morogh; for between me and them there is a great space, both mountain and sounding sea. We have followed you, Sir Epeen! for your pleasure, not ours–to gain satisfaction from the Horde for your shameless self and for Menelaus, leader of your sister guild. You forget this, and threaten to rob me of the e-girlfriend for whom I have grinded rep and xp, and which the other Guild Leaders have given me. Never when the guild raids a Horde city do I receive as good lewt as you do, though my DPS is the highest. When the sharing comes, your share is far the largest, and I, forsooth, must take what I can get and be thankful, when my pwning is done. Now, therefore, I shall take a WoW-cation; it will be much better for me to do dailies or grind achievements, for I will not stay here dishonored to gather gold and lewt for you."
And Agamemnon answered, "Fine, ragequit then, I won't beg you to stay in-game. I have others here who will do me honor, and above all GM-Zeus, the lord of counsel. There is no guild leader here so hateful to me as you are, for you are ever quarrelsome and ill-affected. Was it not RNG that made you so?

America's Next Top Model
What Does Tyra Banks Look Like Without Her Weave?
America's Next Top Model's Tyra Banks has been tweeting some fierce hair shots lately — just not with her real hair.
For example, in this super-sexy photo of Tyra with new America's Next Top Model judge Rob Evans, the ANTM host uses mountains of hair to hide a bare top.
However, a "flawsome" lady like Tyra is never afraid to show her true self, so on Saturday she tweeted this photo, writing, "@OscarJamesHair just took my weave out. Scalp again! Rejoice! Bout to cut it. How many inches?"
Tyra also tweeted this shot on September 8, writing, "Natural hair hiding now. Not a weave, not real either. On way to celebrate friends LOVE w/my Mama!"
Tyra looks good no matter what she does, but maybe it's time for her to get a classic ANTM makeover. She can't say no, and she won't be told what she'll get ahead of time. What do you think? Fire engine red like Kayla Ferrel ofCycle 15? A cute French bob like Brittani Kline of Cycle 16? Big curls like Nastasia Scott on Cycle 19?
Since we, the viewers, are the "fourth judge" on the current college cycle, why shouldn't we be able to vote for her next look?
Catch the next episode of America's Next Top Model Cycle 19: College Edition on Friday, September 14 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on The CW.

By CHRISTINA RITCHIE ROGERS
MOORESVILLE – Owners of boat rental companies on Lake Norman told the Lake Norman Marine Commission Monday night they're worried that increased regulation could deter rentals and severely hurt their businesses. The owners addressed the commission as it continued discussions about possible new rules for boat renters aimed at improving safety.
Also Monday, the commission said farewell to outgoing chairman Paul Carter and elected Ron Shoultz to replace him.
The marine commission began studying certification or licensing requirements for Lake Norman boat renters in July, after a June 25 accident in Mooresville in which a rental boat driver backed over and seriously injured a 25-year-old Charlotte woman.
A state law that took effect in May 2010 requires anyone under age 26 to complete a National Association of State Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA) safety course before operating boats or personal watercraft with motors of 10 horsepower and above. Boating courses are offered by the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission, the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, the U.S. Power Squadron, and others, and typically take 6 1/2 to 7 hours to complete, said Commissioner John Marino, who represents Catawba County.
But there's a loophole in the state law, Mr. Marino said: Boat renters don't have to take the safety course. Individual boat rental companies are responsible for any safety instruction, and the level and quality can vary.
There's no guarantee the commission will ultimately adopt rental-boat regulations. And it's still not clear whether the commission has the authority.
But rental company owners are concerned about the prospect of any new rules.
"It's not rental companies, it's lakewide safety we need to address," Doug Herr said. He owns Carolina Boat Rentals of Cornelius, and said he educates every renter before he or she takes a boat onto the lake.
Added Don James, owner of CS Performance Rentals in Mooresville: "I agree with the safety concerns, but you can't judge the whole deal based on one incident."
The two men were among five owners of rental companies who asked to address commissioners Monday, after reading news reports about possible new rules. They outlined the ways they take care to protect boaters – from safety videos to documents to hand-on instruction. But not all companies are as careful, they said, nor are some private boat owners.
Several expressed concern that requiring a 7-hour boater safety course would deter vacationers from renting boats.
"Nobody's going to rent a house on Lake Norman if they have to sit and look at the water," Dustin Keith said. He owns Aquaventure Watercraft Rentals in Sherrills Ford, and sent 3,500 boats out with renters this season without incident, he said. He said he shows his renters an 8-minute safety video, has them read and sign a 6-page document, and then does a 20- to 25-minute walk-through at the boats, he said. He even offers a discount to renters who hold N.C. boater safety cards.
Often, families call him a few days in advance of their vacations to reserve a boat, he said. If he had to tell them to take a 7-hour course before the weekend, he'd be out of business, he said.
Still, some commissioners are concerned. Mr. Marino, who asked the commission to begin studying new rules in July, said, "To give someone a 20 minute video or a 6-page document … to me doesn't seem to be adequate. On a summer weekend, it's like the Wild West out there."
On Tuesday, Mr. Herr told CorneliusNews.net he and the other owners agree that lake safety is an important concern. He said he worked previously in Coast Guard law enforcement in Florida, and thinks licensing for all boat owners is a good idea. But it should be at the federal level, he said.
"I'm for licensing everyone 99 years old and younger," he said. A boat license should be much like a driver's license, he said. But he opposes any effort to create stricter rules for renters than for people who buy a boat.
After the discussion Monday, marine commissioners thanked the rental company owners for their contributions to the discussion, and assured them that the commission won't take any action without studying the idea further and hearing more public comments.
"The position of the Marine Commission is one of discovery at this time," Commissioner Paul Carter said. "This is an issue of best practice and whether it makes sense," he said.
Also at Monday's meeting, the Commission appointed Commissioner Ron Shoultz of Iredell County as its new Chair, Commissioner Rich Permenter of Lincoln County as vice chair and Commissioner Dan Stehle of Mecklenburg County as treasurer. Mr. Shoultz will replace Paul Carter, who has completed his five-year term on the Marine Commission and will step down next month.
The men will assume their new positions at the commissions October meeting.

Class this Week (11.4)
Hi all,
Last week we finished discussing the Bornstein and watched a long clip from the documentary "After Stonewall" about queer activism and AIDS. This week we will briefly continue our discussion of "Queers Read This/I Hate Straight" and "Punks, Bulldaggers and Welfare Queens."
Here are some changes that I announced last week:
1. This week we will begin the ethics section by focusing on dignity. We will either watch "Cruel and Unusual" or "Toilet Training." And we will discuss the Bill of Gender Rights.
2. The following week (11.11), we will discussing and reading about intersexuality.
3. You are required to write one of your critical responses on Queers Read This, "Punks, Bulldaggers, and Welfare Queens," "Queer Nation" OR "Queer Aztlan". Reflect on the following questions: What is queer? What is the radical/transformative potential of queer activism? Also, think about this topic in relation to the film clip that we watched. This critical response is due 11.18 (not 11.11).
See you tomorrow. Remember to vote!!

Thread: Difference between Inverter and UPS
- 19th June 2008 #1
Difference between Inverter and UPS
I have seen many companies which sell UPS and Inverter
What is the exact difference b/w a UPS and an inverter
I know both of them convert DC to AC but what is the exact difference
I was going through the SU-KAM website and they sell both UPS and invertor, not sure what is the difference
- 20th June 2008 #2
The basic difference in layman's terms is:
While both provide backup power during mains outage, with the UPS the switch is instantaneous whereas with the Inverter there is a gap of a second or two. This gap is OK for household gadgets such as lights, fans, fridge, etc. but not OK for computers.
In technical terms:
UPS: The mains power comes to the UPS. The AC is converted to DC and this DC is constantly charging the battery. The output of the battery is fed to the Sine wave inverter and it converts DC to AC and this feeds the equipment. Since power out is always drawn from the battery, there is no time lag when mains swicthes off; it justs stops the battery from being charged and the UPS continues to supply power till the battery runs out.
Inverter: The mains power comes to the Inverter. This is directly sent to the output but the AC is also converted to DC and this DC is constantly charging the battery. A sensor and relay mechanism checks whether the mains is ON or OFF. When the main switches OFF, the relay actuator triggers to switch from mains to inverter. Rest is same like the UPS. Because of this sensor and relay, there is a gap between triggering.
UPS involves more costly circuitary and is therefor more expensive to make and sell.*** Never argue with an idiot. ***

Northern Illinois Huskies vs. Fresno State Bulldogs Picks: 2010 Humanitarian Bowl Pick
- Updated: December 15, 2010
Northern Illinois Huskies
Fresno State Bulldogs
The Smurf Turf will be on display one final time this year for the Humanitarian Bowl, where the Fresno State Bulldogs will lock horns with the Northern Illinois Huskies.
Poor NIU just has nothing going its way in this game. Head Coach Jerry Kill left the program before it could even get its reservations set for Boise, and the team is coming off of a very, very disappointing loss in the MAC Championship Game at the hands of the Miami Redhawks. As a result, instead of a bowl game significantly later in the year that has more meaning, the trek out to Boise is the destination for a team that went 8-0 SU and 7-0-1 ATS in conference play before the MAC title game. The offense for this team is definitely legitimate and isn't one to be messed around with. QB Chandler Harnish probably isn't the first name that comes to mind in terms of a dual threat signal caller, but he might be one of the best that the game has to offer. Though his passing skills could be more refined, Harnish still accounted for just under 3,000 yards this year, as he threw for 2,230 yards and rushed for 764 more. Twenty five TDs hit the board for the leader of this team, and he only tossed five INTs. RB Chad Spann is always one to watch when NIU hits the field as well. He had 1,293 yards and a stunning 20 scores on the season.
A few players have been suspended due to academics for the Bulldogs in this one, but they will have a significantly bigger concern if RB Robbie Rouse's injured ribs don't heal in time for this game. The top back for Fresno State sat out the final two games of the regular season due to that injury, and the hope was that its bowl game would be late enough for Rouse to start with no discomfort. Unfortunately for him, the Bulldogs are playing in the second bowl game of the year. Still, this is an offense that averaged right at 30.0 points per game this year, and though none of the numbers are truly eye popping on this team on either side of the ball, it is definitely a team to be afraid of. Rouse had a pair of 200+ yard games in a row earlier this year, while the passing game has a very consistent QB Ryan Colburn calling the shots. Colburn tossed 21 TDs against nine picks on the year, and he had 2,529 yards through the air. This defense has struggled at times though, allowing at least 34 points five times this year.
Fresno State is very, very comfortable in these surroundings, while NIU is a team that really could be in a lot of trouble with a new coaching staff and some disgruntled players. The Dogs will have their day in this one, as they have been a battle tested team all season long and aren't going to be afraid of the best team in the MAC, whether the Huskies were champions or not.

David Karp has lots of options now that Yahoo has acquired Tumblr. How will the partnership work?
Slow news day huh? After a few days of frenzied speculation, Yahoo made it official: it's buying Tumblr, the wildly popular social media and microblogging platform, for $1.1 billion, putting it in a rare class among startups.
So what next? Here's what we're taking away from the deal:
Yahoo is taking the lion's share of the risk here, which is good for Tumblr and its investors, but hair-raising if you're a Yahoo (Nasdaq: YHOO) investor.
Tumblr's big problem—revenue—now becomes Yahoo's problem. Yahoo may be paying $1.1 billion, but Tumblr only pulled in $13 million in 2012 and is behind on its goal to make $100 million this year. The pressure is now on Yahoo to make Tumblr pay off while Tumblr—which is said to be kept independent within the company—gets to focus on growing its user base, at least for a while. Tumblr isn't expected to add to Yahoo's bottom line for about a year and a half.
Oh, but there is a catch. More ads will be coming to Tumblr. What these ads look like and how they're integrated into the site isn't clear, but, speaking on a conference call this morning, Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer said the companies are going to explore more dashboard ads and tools for Tumblr users to sell their own ads.
So, that's tricky. Tumblr founder David Karp is famous for his antipathy toward traditional Web ads. He has changed his tune somewhat in the last year or so, with Tumblr pivoting to focus on integrated, native ads and sponsored content. Yahoo has said they will work with Tumblr to continue to improve ad experiences.

A significant number of people could be dying from an adult version of "cot death", suggests a new study.
At least 3500 apparently healthy people collapse and die every year from unexplained causes in England alone, researchers have found. And in about 150 of these mystery deaths no cause can be identified, despite a full post-mortem examination.
Tim Bowker, associate medical director of the British Heart Foundation and a consultant cardiologist, led the study and says anecdotal reports of this type of death had baffled doctors for many years.
The researchers suggest that some of the deaths may occur due to electrical or metabolic abnormalities in the heart. However, this problem can only be identified in a living patient.
But the study shows the mystery deaths are a "real entity", Bowker told New Scientist. "And until one gives it a proper label, it is very difficult to take the science forward," he says.
Life saver
He thinks the deaths should be classed as the adult equivalent of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), and called sudden adult death syndrome, or SADS. This would lead to more information being collated and help find a "common thread" between cases, he says.
After cot death was officially recognised as SIDS, the number of deaths was cut by 70 per cent within a decade.
Bowker and his colleagues at the University of London asked coroners to look out for mystery deaths over a four month period, and send post-mortem reports and tissue samples. They specifically looked at white Caucasians aged 16 to 64, with no medical history of cardiac disease.
The team found that 80 per cent of the almost 700 unexpected deaths reported could be attributed to underlying coronary disease. A further proportion could be ascribed to some other kind of cardiac disease. But in about four per cent of cases no cause could be found.
Chaotic rhythms
These inexplicable deaths may be due to various causes, Bowker says: "Clearly the heart has stopped, but the structure is normal, so the first thing one should think about is electrical problems."
The beating of the heart is co-ordinated by electrical impulses generated by the flow of ions into and out of its tissues. In some conditions, problems with this electrical circuitry can mean the heart beats in an unusual pattern. "This may lead to chaotic rhythms in the heart, and so it stops," Bowker says.
But there may be other factors, unrelated to the heart, underlying this kind of mystery death. For example, the control of breathing might be lost.

Comments about Corduroy Cologne:
Another warm spicy fragrance by Zirh, similar to Zirh Ikon but with sandalwood instead of incense, and nutmeg instead of cloves. If you like warm spicy fragrances, Corduroy and Ikon are both great. I prefer Ikon's incense and cloves notes, but if you're not into incense, Corduroy would be a better choice. Another winner from Zirh.

Comments about Corduroy Cologne:
I first fell in love with this fragrance when it first came out in 2005. Sadly, I could not find it in any of the shops in my country, and some retailers have even asked me "What is it?"
Almost a decade later, I finally found my beloved perfume online and thanks to the Worldwide Shipping service provided I was able to own my very own bottle for the first time and I was able to tell where exactly it was by tracking my shipment.
This perfume is suitable for use for any occasion at all. It has a smell that exudes sensuality and confidence. Even after almost 10 years I take an extra deep breath everytime I smell it. For its price, it really is value for money.
The only downside that I can think of which is echoed by other users is that it doesn't really last long (estimated 8 hrs tops, less if you're up and about). But then again, this can easily be remedied by applying the perfume to more areas. I normally spray it on my chest, neck, and wrists, and sometimes it lasts till the end of the day.
Pretty much the awesomest perfume there is out there. If you're interested in trying something different, this is the perfume for you.

Pumas halt Springboks charge
Argentina earn historic 16-16 draw with Springboks
Last Updated: 25/08/12 11:00pm
Argentina ended a 14-match losing run against South Africa with a battling 16-16 draw in the Pumas' home debut in the Rugby Championship on Saturday.
The hosts ran up a 13-3 halftime lead at the Estadio Malvinas Argentinas in Mendoza after a try by centre Santiago Fernandez was converted by fullback Martin Rodriguez, who also scored three penalties in the game.
But Argentina will be left to rue the kick out of defence by Marcelo Bosch that was charged down by his opposite number Frans Steyn, who chased the ball and scored the Springboks' sole try and conversion 15 minutes from time.
Morne Steyn also notched three penalties but missed a penalty with six minutes left with would have won it.
Argentina had not beaten South Africa in any of their 14 previous Tests, with their most recent reverse coming in last week's opening Rugby Championship match at Newlands.
The Springboks made two changes from that side as Adriaan Strauss replaced the injured Bismarck du Plessis at hooker, while Jacques Potgieter was promoted from the bench to start at blindside flanker, with Keegan Daniel making way.
The home side brought in Nicolas Sanchez at number 10 with Juan Martin Hernandez injured, while Rodriguez came in for Lucas Gonzalez Amorosino.
South Africa could have taken the lead after three minutes after the hosts were penalised for being off their feet at a ruck, but Morne Steyn missed from 47 yards.
The Pumas were first on the board as Rodriguez converted a penalty after Jannie du Plessis was penalised for an infringement at a maul.
Extended lead
And Argentina extended their lead after 17 minutes when Juan Figallo passed to Fernandez, who touched down underneath the posts with the extras added by Rodriguez.
Rodriguez could have put his side 13 points ahead after Bryan Habana was pulled up for handling while on the ground, but the full-back could not convert.
The visitors finally got on the scoreboard seven minutes before the break after the Pumas were again penalised at the ruck, with Morne Steyn this time making no mistake.
However Rodriguez ensured his side went into the break 10 points clear, converting a penalty after 36 minutes.
Out-muscled and outplayed in the first 40 minutes, South Africa needed to strike first and were thankful that nine minutes after the restart Morne Steyn took advantage of Rodrigo Roncero's infringement at the ruck to bring the score back to 13-6.
However indiscipline again from South Africa, this time from replacement Flip van der Merwe, gave Rodriguez the opportunity to add to the Pumas' tally and the 27-year-old made no mistake.
Morne Steyn then kept his side in the match as once again the teams exchanged three-pointers.
South Africa turned the screw and with 15 minutes left scored their try. Frans Steyn charged down a Bosch clearance and touched down, with his conversion levelling the scores.
They could have won it but Morne Steyn missed a penalty with six minutes left as the Springboks left with their unbeaten record intact.

Church of England urged not to Allow Women Bishops
Seventeen bishops have made a last-minute appeal urging the Church of England to deny women the opportunity to become bishops, ahead of next week's General Synod.
The bishops argued that the Church needs sufficient time in order to properly discuss the issues, and that therefore any decision to remove the legal impediments for the ordination of women as bishops should be taken with caution.
Writing to The Church of England Newspaper, they warned that any such decision could jeopardise Church relations with its other provinces in the Communion and as well as its ecumenical partners:
"There is ample evidence from church history, not least, and most recently, in the Anglican Communion, that actions by individual provinces touching the scriptural and traditional faith and order of the Church, actions that inevitably unchurch those who cannot accept such changes, do not serve the unity which Christ asks of his Church."
The Rt Rev Tom Wright, one of the letter's signatories, defended the action, saying, "This matter touches profoundly both the order and identity of the Church of England and its place in the Church as a whole."
Christina Rees, Chair of Women and the Church, and campaigner for women bishops have, however, attacked the bishops' proposal as "an insult" to the thousands of women priests already serving in the Church of England.
The motion requires a two-thirds majority within all three houses of the General Synod, laity, clergy and bishops, before it can be passed.
Many supporters of women bishops were hopeful for a positive result at the forthcoming Synod but fear this intervention by the bishops jeopardised this.
There are already 14 provinces within the Communion that have already approved women as bishops, with only eight remaining men only.
Rees added that any prolongation of the debate would only damage the Church more and that the majority of the Church accepted women as bishops. There has, she says, already been a proper debate on the issue:
"This has been on our agenda for 30 years. The time is now right. The exasperation most people in the Church feel that this has not happened yet is very high. We have already exhausted the issues."

Bottom line is, she trusts him with her life and he is doing a shitty job of protecting it.
(and a lot of what I said earlier was sarcasm
This picture doesn't bother me in a "men should protect women" way. A rally car team has a driver and a "passenger." If the driver screws up and breaks some metal and tissue, we don't think of the navigator as "the poor, helpless, naive passenger."
These two are like the rally car team: talented and aware of the risks but really shouldn't be practicing their art on the road, which is what bothers me about the picture.
Now, this picture bothers me in the "men should protect women" way. The driver is geared up and about as prepared as he can be for the fall, but the passenger, even if her shirt was pulled down, is not as prepared for the fall. If the fall occurs, he's more likely to walk away with sore muscles and maybe a broken bone while having to send flowers and an apology after her skin graft surgery.
Calvin: I think people worry too much about the little things. All they do is make themselves unhappy that way. Why get an ulcer over things that don't really matter?

text: Founded in 1998, the Dartmouth Subtleties are known as a musically talented group of independent women who emphasize innovative arrangements and creative performances. Extensive choreography, new sounds, colorful costumes, and uproarious skits have all become part of the Subtleties' signature. We perform at a variety of venues, including Greek houses, charity events, and Dartmouth's Spaulding auditorium. Our repertoire includes everything from Michael Jackson to Carrie Underwood to Ingrid Michaelson. We succeed in performing songs that would not be considered typical a cappella fare, and strive to break the mold and define for ourselves what we think a cappella should be. We look for members that bring a new perspective, creativity, and spunk to the group. Look out for the release of our new CD and updates of our fall tour to San Francisco!
