Today when I was shopping I saw a guy that I know because he works there and a few hours after I saw him he messaged me saying that I looked gorgeous in what I was wearing, and he couldn't help but look at my bum. But then he said "how do not mind me talking about you like that"? And I don't get what he means. Should it bother me that he said that to me? I'm extremely insecure, and people don't say things like that too me very often.

Dreamy Spaghetti Casserole
Recipe by LAURIE
Tasty casserole, different way to fix the same old spaghetti. Serve with garlic bread and salad and dinner is served. Cook time does not include chilling time.
Top Review by Missy Wombat
I'm a vegetarian so I used 180g of TVP which gave 1 lb worth of 'meat' [which is cheaper and low fat compared to real mince] and threw in a little olive oil with the onion so it wouldn't burn. Laurie's recipes are quite different to what I normally make but that just added to the challenge. And it passed the taste test and my toddler ate it too! Next time I make this I would probably add some mushrooms and some spices to the mince to suit my tastes as I am used to lots of spicey ethnic foods but it is a perfectly good recipe as is. Thanks Laurie!

German textiles technology company Pongs has launched a range of new products at Fespa Digital that are suited for use as visual aids for merchandising and events.
The manufacturer has premiered Softimage Lightbox, a new fabric designed specifically for backlit applications that the company said has "outstanding properties" for digital printing and is particularly suited to high-resolution printing of sophisticated images.
Also new is DirectTex Artist Mambo, a dye-sublimation product for the backlit materials segment that the company said features "excellent light diffusion properties". The woven fabric product is said to be creaseless and nearly white-mark free.
The business is also showing a recently launched acoustic fabric called Silencio, which it said is developed for the architectural market and is the first three-dimensional optical textile in the world.
Pongs print media sales manager Sebastian Tens said: "The sound absorption market is very big. This material can be used for acoustic panels and wall and ceiling systems."
These products are all digitally printable up to a width of 5m and available in rolls of 50m long or 100m long for flag materials. They are suited to all ink systems.
"Fespa is very important for us and this is the third time we have come. Most customers we have seen are asking for backlit materials for backlit applications and interior design. The textile market is growing a lot," said Tens.
Pongs also used the show as an opportunity to look for new distributors.

New years 2015
1) Hopefully 2015 will hold for me time to understand and fully accept myself the way I am. For me not to be so harsh on myself when I make mistakes. Also, to stop wishing I was like others or had better personality traits like others, and to just embrace myself the way I am.
2) 2015 will hopefully hold for me and the world brand new beginnings where peace can be met. I hope my sister and I will be able to finally get along so that we can move past our differences and forget about the wrong things we have done to each other. I also hope that conflicting countries will be able to figure some sort of compromise. People in general will get along with other so there can be peace.
3) Hopefully 2015 will hold a chance for me to read more. If I can read more that will help me improve my grammar and spelling. The two areas where i have the most difficulty in.
The future
1) In 2041 I believe the world will honestly be more polluted.
2) In 2041 our constant trending fads such as timbs, skinny jeans, word usage and etc will be definitely be out. Instead there will be different fads such as wearing really bright colors, automatic robots everywhere, and maybe anti gravitying machines.
3) Lastly in the year 2041 i believe the world will be more and heavily populated and will have to adapt to that.

My employer wants a picture of me for my employee file, is that legal.
Your basic headshot? Yes. If you're the only one being asked for a photo? No. If the picture requires nudity? No. There are probably other exceptions also, but this isn't an unreasonable request for your employer to make.
Disclaimer: Please note that this answer does not constitute legal advice, and should not be relied on, since each state has different laws, each situation is fact specific, and it is impossible to evaluate a legal problem without a comprehensive consultation and review of all the facts and documents at issue. This answer does not create an attorney-client relationship.Ask a similar question
Yes. Your employer can impose reasonable conditions of employment. Many companies have ID badges, which require taking a photo, or your employer may just want a photo so they can remember you later. (Large companies or businesses with high turnover, like restaurants, may have trouble remembering people and a picture might help.)Ask a similar question

Hi...I am a 20, going on 21, years old girl. And a virgin. Never been intimate with a guy, never had a boyfriend.
I have BIG self esteem issues. I cover them up every day with nice clothes, makeup and a smile. Still hate myself every time I look into a mirror. And I ask myself..why would any guy want to date a girl with glasses and crooked teeth? When there is so many gorgeous girls out there?
And then something happened. I met a guy online, then we met in person. My god, I liked him A LOT. And guess what? He seemed to like me back! He invited me on a second and then on a third date. I felt like desired and cared for. I felt good for the first time in so many years of self hatred. And then he stopped talking to me. I don´t know why, but he just went dead silent. I am a proud person, so I wrote him only once, he wrote me a very short message and then went silent again. Now I hate myself even more than I ever did before. He broke my heart and we didn´t even date. How pathetic is that?
I am starting to prepare myself for life without love. When my parents die, I am going to be completaly alone. Yes, I will have my friends, but they will have their own families, their own lives. It will not be the same. Maybe you think I am crazy...but I am not going to look any better..these are my best years. And if I am not interesting to men now, 10 years later it is not going to get better. I do not think that my personality is the problem. I have a bunch of friends, I get along very easily with people. I am an extrovert, I love going out, having fun, meeting new people. I was told that I am funny and caring. So it must be the looks...Pic on my profile..at least I hope I will be able to upload it...getting some xpert level sh_t on this site all the time...
But in this world so concentrated on perfection, crooked teeth (not to be seen in the picture) and glasses might be a problem. Do not tell me to get braces, for various reasons I cant. If I could I would have got them a long time ago. I am stuck with the way I look, I have done everything to make myself as pretty as possible.
I am depressed. I think I am going to buy a cat...
Most Helpful Girl
You are gorgeous. Everyone has self-doubt, nerves, and are self-conscious. You might not be able to see it-- but, again... you are stunning. I'm serious. A lot of girls want what you have; absolutely beautiful eyes (both shape and color), great eygreat lips, great nose, great cheekbones.
I understand where you're coming from, though... I am the same way. It is difficult to think any different. It might never go away, you might feel the same forever, but remember to smile. None of us will ever reach perfection. Go through life with your head up. There is always someone who finds you attractive, even if they are too nervous/don't get a chance to mention it.
By the way, I like crooked teeth. They add character. Check out Bunny/Grav3yardgirl on Youtube: link She has large, crooked teeth... and was teased about them, but grew to like them and chose not to have them straightened. I can't remember what video she was talking about it (maybe her Imperfections one?), but she said, as a kid, she liked her "wonky teeth" because some of her favorite characters and people had them.21|10|0
Thank you! I will check that girl out. It could be nice to see someone similar for once.

Mumia Abu-Jamal Death Penalty
December 8, 2011 by staff
Mumia Abu-Jamal Death Penalty, Maureen Faulkner waited nearly 30 years for her husband's murderer to be executed. But following a seemingly endless cycle of legal appeals, she said she realized it would never happen.
On Wednesday, Faulkner gave her blessing to the decision by Philadelphia District Attorney Seth Williams to stop pursuing the death penalty for Mumia Abu-Jamal, whose claim that he was the victim of a racist legal system made him an international cause celebre.
The 58-year-old former Black Panther convicted of gunning down white police Officer Daniel Faulkner will now spend the rest of his life in prison, without the possibility of parole.
"My family and I have endured a three-decade ordeal at the hands of Mumia Abu-Jamal, his attorneys and his supporters, who in many cases never even took the time to educate themselves about the case before lending their names, giving their support and advocating for his freedom," Maureen Faulkner said. "All of this has taken an unimaginable physical, emotional and financial toll on each of us."
Williams, the city's first black district attorney, announced the decision two days short of the 30th anniversary of the patrolman's death. Williams said that "it is time to put this case to rest, for the good of the city of Philadelphia and, most importantly, the family of Daniel Faulkner."

An angel investor or angel (also known as a business angel or informal investor or angel funder) is an affluent individual who provides capital for a business start-up, usually in exchange for convertible debt or ownership equity.

Disabled World receives numerous requests regarding locating financiers and acquiring assistance in developing, patenting and marketing various assistive aids and products for persons with disabilities and seniors with mobility problems.
Raising money has always been a problem for inventors, whether they need funds for a patent, for a prototype, or for production. You need more money than ever to cover the high costs of production and to get into the market with as much momentum as possible.
Most venture capitalists and angel investors receive dozens of pitches every day and simply don't have time to meet with everyone. To make it more difficult, it's not uncommon for first-time entrepreneurs to need to speak with 50 plus investors before closing a round of funding. So as an entrepreneur, you're going to need to identify dozens of people who could potentially be interested in your company.
Crowdfunding is the practice of funding a project or venture by raising monetary contributions from a large number of people, typically via the internet.

The enter key (or the return key on Macs) in most cases causes a command line, window form, or dialog box to operate its default function. This is typically to finish an "entry" and begin the desired process, and is usually an alternative to pressing an OK button. In the Need For Madness games, it's main purpose is to confirm menus and pause the game. Another way to do this is to click on the screen. In a Multiplayer game, however, the pause menu will keep the game going, and will just have a choice saying "Exit Game?" If the player says yes, he/she will be disconnected from the game, have their car wasted, and lose that game.

Welcome to the ineedhits Search Engine Marketing blog, where we share the latest search engine and online marketing news, releases, industry trends and great DIY tips and advice.
With Google releasing no less than 7 different "Panda" updates in 2011, now is the perfect time to see if these changes have made any difference to search results.
New Scientist magazine recently published an article on the topic that claims search engines have "won a major victory" in their battle against content farms.
The magazine came to this conclusion after hiring University of Glasgow computer scientist Richard McCreadie to study 50 different search queries which were known to be a target of content farms. Examples of these queries include "how to organise your desktop" and "how to train for a marathon".
According to the article, as recently as March, the first 10 results from a Google search for "how to organise your desktop" contained nine links to pages churned out by content farms – websites that publish reams of articles, often of dubious quality, that aim simply to attract clicks and advertising dollars.
Google then released a number of "Panda" algorithm updates which aimed at filtering out these questionable search results. According to Mr McCreadie these changes have made an impact,
In the case of the marathon query, sites that contained lists of generic tips, such as "invest in a good pair of running shoes", were present in the top 10 in March but had disappeared by August, while high-quality sources, such as Runner's World magazine, now appear near the top. Similar trends were found throughout the 50 queries.
Well known content sites like ehow.com have also backed up the findings, stating that their traffic has dropped by 20 percent following Google's series of Panda updates.
In related news, Google have also stated that there will be no further Panda updates in 2011 – but webmasters can expect more fine tuning in the new year.

Nokia jazzes up small cell units with drone delivery, braves bird menace
Nokia says it has developed a solution to the operator-pursued dream of solving the challenges of small cell backhaul, by placing solar-powered units on rooftops using drones, following a successful demo in California this week. However, aside from adding a touch of drama to the performance, it has not been made abundantly clear why drones are even required in this venture.
The ability to simply place portable, wireless base stations on rooftops reduces the expense and man power that comes with installing fiber or power cables, as well as omitting the need to apply for planning permission, but it raises questions about what is preventing the units being removed or damaged? Either by adverse weather conditions, people gaining access to the rooftop, or even an angry bird.
Nokia needs to clarify how these units will be secured because it's doubtful that the drones have been specifically modified to be able to screw or glue these expensive units into place – unless there is some sort of fixing base or rail system already in place, in which case a human would have had to install this prior to the unit being delivered in the first place.
Essentially, Nokia needs to lay out a clear plan of how this drone-delivered small cell unit system provides any realistic return on investment, because at present, there are countless variables inhibiting its viability.
If Nokia's grand plan here is that operators can use drones to dynamically relocate the units to different locations, such as at a major event on the other side of a city for example, then the use of drones could begin to make sense – but surely an operator would want a permanently installed base station at a location attracting mass crowds.
The units themselves are called F-cells and are wirelessly connected to closed loop, 64-antenna massive MIMO (multiple input multiple output) backhaul systems, with each system forming eight beams to eight solar-powered F-Cells, claiming a 100x reduction in latency.
The technology has been developed by the Bell Labs business arm through Nokia's purchase of Alcatel-Lucent, supporting wireless networking in frequency division duplex (FDD) or time division duplex (TDD) mode – providing eight 20 MHz channels allowing for a throughput rate of around 1Gbps over existing LTE networks.
Clearwire (owned by Sprint) did something similar back in 2010, when it tested coexistence scenarios between WiMax and LTE using FDD configurations using 40MHz of spectrum paired in 2 x 20MHz contiguous channels and TDD configurations using 20MHz. At the time, its LTE 2X trial network achieved peak download speeds on commercially available equipment and devices in excess of 90Mbps and upload speeds of more than 30Mbps.
Operators are also looking at densification programs with a focus on small cells in pre-5G trials in high frequency bands, as well as G.fast copper technology as an alternative to fiber for high speed backhaul. Nokia's XG-Fast broadband technology has reached speeds of 10Gbps over existing copper cables, but companies are saying that XG-Cable is at least 5 years away from deployments.
Nokia also recently formed a partnership with Tarana Wireless, a start-up company devising wireless backhaul solutions for small base stations deployed close to the floor – winning it a trial with AT&T. Tarana's work with Nokia involves its FlexiZone small cell deployment portfolio, which includes the new HetNet Engine Room service, using 3D street maps to calculate a specific location's return on investment.
"F-Cell is a key breakthrough in massively scalable and massively deployable technology that will allow networks to deliver seemingly infinite capacity, imperceptible latency and connectivity to trillions of things. Nokia Bell Labs is again excited to re-invent the future and help drive what we believe will be a technological revolution, underpinned by the creation of a new digital network fabric that will transform human existence," said Marcus Weldon, president of Nokia Bell Labs and Nokia CTO.

Resources on Virtue and Freedom
This page is concerned with the third of four pillars of intellectual evangelization, addressing the mythical conflict between the teachings of Christ and moral relativism. As noted on our homepage, many of our young people (and adults) have come to believe, at least partially, in this secular myth which may be stated as follows: "Jesus Christ and the Church impose a bunch of rules and 'should nots' on all of us, but there are many other viewpoints that allow for more freedom and personal opinion. Why should I follow the teachings of Christ and the Church instead of these other viewpoints – which seem equally valid?"
This secular myth does not stand up to a philosophical assessment of virtue and love (particularly in light of the revelation of Jesus Christ). The evidence we present is quite compelling, and can maintain, defend, and advance the faith of people who may be influenced by this myth.

Advance Wars: Days of Ruin is the second and last Wars game on the Nintendo DS. It was first mentioned in E3 2007 and was named during the Nintendo Conference in October 2007. Unlike the last two Advance Wars game, it departs from the trilogy in using new graphics, a new cast of COs, and taking on a somewhat darker and grittier tone.
For decades the Rubinelle Army and Lazuria Army have been bitter enemies, locked in a constant battle for power. Amidst the war, the world is suddenly reduced to ruin when meteors rain from the sky and destroy nearly all of the population. What few humans that have survived have banded together to finds ways to survive, despite food shortages everywhere. Despite that, there are still those who seek war and continuing old rivalries.
The game follows Will as he joins up with the 12th Battalion led by Captain Brenner and Lieutenant Lin. He soon meets a mysterious girl that takes the name Isabella due to having no memory of her real name. Together they fight to protect the innocent, to survive, and to find what peace they can in the ruins of their world.
Though the game plays like the entirety of the Wars series, the game has been significantly tweaked from the formula of the first Advance Wars. A returning feature from Super Famicom Wars is the addition of an experience system for individual units. Each unit can go up a rank after destroying an enemy unit three times to Veteran rank, which will slightly increase its overall power. However these rank increases do not carry over to other battles, as each battle begins with all new units.
CO Powers are less powerful than before and Super CO Powers are gone. Instead COs can ride in a unit and immediately promote it to Veteran Rank for half the cost of the unit. Each CO has a 'field' that will apply statistical changes to all units within this field, such as increasing offense or defense. The CO Power can only be charged by the CO Unit however, rather than with all units as in previous games. Like in previous games, CO Powers affect all units.
Many units have been removed and altered, with many new units as well. Notable changes are that Carriers are no longer indirect units, but now deploy the new Seaplane unit and can carry and repair all planes. Battleships have less range, but are the only indirect unit that can move and attack. Rigs (APCs in previous games) are now capable of building Temporary Sea and Air Ports to repair units. Gone are such units as Piperunners, Black Boats, Stealth Planes, Neotanks and Megatanks.
Bikers are new units that act like infantry but can move further, but with the downside that they cannot cross rivers, mountains, and can only use Landers as transport. Duster planes are capable of attacking all units, but lack the power of Fighters and Bombers. Anti-Tanks are new indirect units with tank-like defenses and the ability to counter direct attacks. Lastly, Gunboats are on the cheap end of Naval units that can carry infantry and fire one powerful shot, but have a limit of one ammunition.
Like the previous Advance Wars games, there is a Campaign Mode with 26 missions. Though the War Room is gone, Campaign Mode includes 38 unlockable 'Training' missions that are generally more difficult than Campaign missions. Other modes such as Battle Maps and Conquest have been replaced with a much more robust Multiplayer system that allows for Wi-Fi play. Design Room has also been increased to allow for 50 saved maps that can be traded with other players online or uploaded to the servers to be randomly played and ranked by other gamers.
To date, Days of Ruin has been the last Wars game.
- The game's original Japanese release was canceled. However, in 2013 was later offered as an annual award for Club Nintendo members of Platinum status in Japan, as a free download for the Nintendo 3DS.

Primordial (2015)
a big slice of raw quivering awesomeness
Yeah, I dug this mean little flick A LOT, although I'm probably biased since it triggered beloved memories of those cheap sordid violent flicks Richard Kern crafted in the 80s and 90s.
Please note that my use of the term "flick" here is not pejorative or dismissive... I use that term as a badge of honor reserved for low budget indie films which transcend their humble origins by successfully telling a tough no-nonsense story in tough no-nonsense terms.
Marylee Osborne is fantastic in the lead role as Valerie, who harbors some seriously sadistic tendencies but keeps them bottled up, until the right opportunity provides a way to indulge her inner demons. It's so cool to see a female lead playing a dangerously-edgy character, with the physical presence required to make her a credible threat.
Film is technically primitive but that actually does justice to the material, creating an appropriately gritty and desperate atmosphere. There is a clandestine, almost voyeuristic feel in following Valerie's descent into the depths.
Most people will probably be repulsed by this, or will be distracted by its technical shortcomings, but I was glued to the screen, and I applaud everyone involved for their work.
Ava's Possessions (2015)
not wacky enough to do justice to a tantalizingly-wacky concept
I dunno... this should have been a pretty great dark/quirky cult movie, along the lines of Repo Man and After Hours and others like it. The cast was great, the cinematography was appropriately oddball (so many Dutch angles! so much neon lighting!)... and that music, with all its funhouse-mirror doo-wop and moody rockabilly-ish twang, was ready for action.
And yet, it just didn't go there, which is a real shame.
Characters kept having these stilted awkward talky scenes where the whole thing just dragged. It's like someone with some influence felt this could be a horror trope parody, and someone else kept wanting it to be a lightly-creepy noir-ish thriller of the Lynchian variety, and yet someone else kept trying to keep things on track towards the kind of breathless, no-holds-barred screwball wackiness that should have been but never actually came to be.
Anyway, it's kind of a mess as it is, and it sure seems that could have been avoided.
Nancy, Please (2012)
Great concept, middling execution
This is a superhero of a story trapped in the awkward, gangly body of a middling film.
We follow Paul, an entitled, dissipate ---but still somewhat likable--- young man taking the next step of what seems to be a charmed affluent life: great relationship, moving into a new home, good job teaching at Yale. We see him effortlessly floating through life, being passively charming, enabled by those around him (especially the women in his life). The best word to describe him is "loose", in that it characterizes his casual teaching approach, his droll engagement with others, his arm's-length distance from most things.
But this chill, hipsterish looseness begins a slow simmer and heats to an obsessive boil when he discovers that a meaningful object (his note-riddled copy of Dickens' "Little Dorrit") has been left behind in the apartment he shared with the titular Nancy, an apparent embodiment of the "difficult roommate" stereotype, of which we first learn via passing conversational exposition, a montage of selected Facebook photos, and a couple of voice mail messages.
Paul's increasingly-desperate insistence on recovering his book from Nancy is contrasted with an attempt to identify and neutralize the source of constant scurrying behind the walls of his new home's attic study, and upon his success at capturing the squirrel responsible for the latter, we witness a glimpse of the streak of cruelty he reserves for those who inconvenience him. Nancy, his main perceived antagonist, however, continues to elude him, and in his inability to get what he wants, he becomes convinced that she is willfully conspiring to ruin his life.
The film does an excellent job of presenting Paul's gradual undoing out of sheer frustration, risking the loss of everything he has in the process. But all this build-up is for naught, as his final confrontation with his nemesis is handled awkwardly and almost timidly, which minimizes the impact of suddenly thrusting us out of Paul's tiny little insular world of comfortable entitlement and into the harsh reality of other people's lives; others who are, at best, perceived to be mere pests, but at worst represent the very cause of all that is wrong with the world, others whose priorities may be quite different because their lives are quite different.
With a few stylistic enhancements and a tighter rein on the narrative, this story could have succeeded as dark psychodrama in the vein of Hitchcock or Polanski, effectively drawing in some of the inferred Dickensian contrast between the haves and the have-nots.
As it is, however, the film suffers from assuming the same standoffish stance to the material that the protagonist takes towards his enviable life, implying a certain ambivalence to the underlying social message that provides meaning to Paul's journey from annoyance to paranoia, and ultimately fails to convey what could have been a tense tightrope walk across the growing chasm separating the privileged from the rest of us.
Apartment 4E (2012)
A small but wonderful surprise
As the credits make clear, this was originally a play, and it shows: very talky, with lots of opportunity for over-the-top scenery-chewing (to which co-protagonist Nicole Beharie commits with great relish). The titular apartment is the setting for most of the proceedings, with occasional flash-backs that round out the narrative.
Beharie is amazing to watch in the role of whip-smart yet highly unstable Piper. Christopher J Domig does well in the role of the conflicted man who reaches out to her. The slow-moving narrative hinges on gradually-drawn-out revelations, all of which occur in a highly-charged environment commandeered by a very skeptical and very off-kilter young woman wielding a gun. When these revelations finally arrive, so much energy has been expended in their extraction, one anticipates a cathartic release of all the emotional tension that has been built up so far.
What does transpire is fiendishly frustrating ---in a very good way--- and must be experienced from start to finish in order to be fully savored.
This is a small jewel of a film that fits in nicely with previous works by Hal Hartley and Tom Noonan.
Devils Racecourse (2009)
Atrocious garbage
OMG. This utter disaster left me breathless and amazed at the sheer magnitude of its incompetent awfulness. The acting is occasionally passable (star Anderson and co-star Gailes in particular do their level best considering the craptastic dialog which burdens them) and there are some moments of occasional near-cinematography. But wow... there is barely an attempt at stitching together a coherent narrative, even at the editing and basic continuity level (for example, scenes that track a particular character's movements, but which were clearly filmed on totally different days ---one cloudy and one sunny--- are simply slapped together as if nobody would notice).
Oh, but there's so much more: Much of the second act features a female character running through the woods wearing only a bra as a top, eluding some unknown bad guy... scene after scene after scene, we cut back to this girl, in her bra, running through the woods, eluding Unknown Dude; meanwhile, other characters who are ostensibly concerned about her whereabouts (and whom we ostensibly would care about if they weren't so obnoxious or boring) amble around or loiter about, having rambling conversations about... oh, y'know... stuff. Oh, and two of the characters are lesbians, because... well, just because. None of what we learn about any of these people has any real significance to the plot.
A hot blonde with large breasts (which have been mostly exposed during every scene she's been in) gets dispatched violently once she's finally stripped completely for a totally gratuitous, sleazy and pointless sex scene.
A promising fight scene involving Ms. Gailes and Mr. Tahoe quickly becomes a mess of choppy cuts, strongly hinting at desperate attempts to mask the absence of any legitimate fight choreography.
The big reveal ---if you can call it that--- is delivered via cryptic dialog from a character who is YELLING HOARSELY at the character he just shot repeatedly. We learn virtually nothing about the dreadful conspiracy that justifies all of this silliness, except that the government did something treacherous to someone for some reason, and 9/11 was the excuse.
What happened? Why did it happen? What was the point? Why did a by-the-numbers "kids get picked off one by one while camping in the woods" slasher B-movie get hijacked by an obtuse conspiracy thriller? Nope. Nobody knows, and really... nobody cares. It's mind-blowing that this thing even exists.
Year of the Dog (2007)
I get it. People suck. They are self-centered and shallow (Peggy's brother Pier and his wife), naive and superficial (Peggy's friend Layla), duplicitous and sleazy (Layla's boyfriend/fiancée), indulgent and callous (Peggy's neighbor Al), emotionally and/or physically unavailable (Peggy's potential love interest Newt) or just plain occluded (Peggy's boss Robin). So it makes sense that some good-hearted, love-starved people will turn to animals and their overall plight, as animals are indeed regular victims of a world that seems ---at any level deeper than merely cutaneous--- to barely function for ANY of its inhabitants, particularly its most complex denizens (who are directly responsible for its malfunctioning). I get it, because the movie sets this dysfunctional tone brilliantly: nice, sweet, kind-hearted Peggy's escalating transgressions and mental deterioration make perfect sense in that context. You root for her even as she commits criminal acts because you know it's gotta about more than just the sweet puppies and bunnies and kitties. You get it, and you can't wait for this set-up to address the far more complex fissures of which the plight of sweet puppies and bunnies and kitties are merely a symptom.
Sadly, after having grabbed you by the heart and dragged you, transfixed, for 2 acts, this dishonest, manipulative pile of garbage suddenly turns on you, and rather than biting you on the hand like Valentine the dog does to Peggy, it just spits in your eye and then proceeds to dissolve slowly into a sticky puddle of simple syrup.
Maybe writer/director Mike White chickened out once he realized exactly what he'd started, and chose to cruelly strip Peggy of a legitimate epiphany, having already dipped her in the lukewarm bath of an utterly fake ---and, frankly, preposterous--- breakdown involving excessive pet adoption. Maybe, but that may be giving him way too much credit.
I recognized the very moment the movie started lying to me, and I can't recall the last time I've experienced such bald-faced gutless abdication of emotional integrity in all my life. Mike White took a character I cared about, and whittled her down to generic, pitiful Crazy Dog Lady/Pseudo-Activist, pathetically stuffing cute little doggies and kitties and bunnies and moo-cows into the sad brittle shell of her emotional void and into the larger existential vacuum that human selfishness and negligence and superficiality creates. She, and the audience, all deserved much better.
PETA really could have used all the money wasted on this pithy nonsense to do some actual good. It would have been a far, FAR better use of that cash, and --BONUS-- then my time and emotional investment would not have been entirely wasted.

Jon had contacted Dundas Walks prior to his journey, researching if it was possible to hike around and through the city without going on roads. While much of the trip can be on trails, or on the water, there will have to be times where the trail gives way to roads and sidewalks due to the built up city-scape of some areas. But surprisingly for those who have never considered the concept, Hamilton trails provide an easy escape, and you can spend hours walking in the woods away from traffic, forgetting you are minutes away from a city.
While Jon is using a car to get to his destinations each day, groups like Transportation for Liveable Communities have been promoting the idea that you don't need a car to get to some amazing trail heads, with many conservation areas and waterfall destinations located along HSR bus routes, or an easy bicycle ride away from home, work or school.
For anyone planning a hiking or canoeing adventure in some far-away locale, you can train for the task here at home; you may find that you fulfill a need you thought could only be filled by driving several hours away. And with the right interventions, we could choose to have more nature and less roads: in short we could restore the natural beauty of our well-situated city!

Rail Trail Green and Dry
Friday, May 6, 2011
blossoms with water
Light rain makes an afternoon commute on the highway into a mess, but on the trail a mess of blossoms entice your attention away from your cares (and cars...)
While the Conservation Areas are muddy, the lower Spencer Creek Trail in Dundas is, as a former rail line, solid and dry, and worth detouring to.
slippery slopes
|trout lilies beginning to flower
Dundas Valley: Trails remain closed to cyclists and equestrians, until further notice.
The Spring Valley Trail leading from Jerseyville Rd. is closed where it enters onto Conservation Authority land, approximately 500 m. north of Jerseyville Rd. The Hilltop Trail and the Murray Ferguson Way are also closed until further notice. Recent emergency utility repair work has left the trails in unsuitable condition. Once the ground dries out in the spring, repairs will be made and the trails will be reopened. Notices will be posted. The Headwaters Trail is still open.

Theme/template use for this case?
Hello all,
I want to have three or four pages on my site be word-press powered blogs. I won't be needing comments or anything; wordpress would just be a simple backend for my client. Currently, WP is installed in a directory in the site's root called wordpress. The other pages, which would be pulling posts based on category from the wordpress directory, are sibling directories to wordpress.
I've been trying this method:
In the main content div of x.com/news/blog.php, I have the following tentative code:
<?php define('WP_USE_THEMES', false); get_header(); ?>
$posts = get_posts('numberposts=10&order=ASC&orderby=post_title');
foreach ($posts as $post) : start_wp(); ?>
<?php the_date(); echo "
"; ?>
<?php the_title(); ?>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
but am receiving fatal error
Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_header() in /home/mepkin/www/www/news/blog.php on line 58.
How can I make the path to get_header work in this situation?
Would other functions and The Loop work in this situation? Could I get a sidebar for, say, archives, pulled in for specific categories, etc. using the above method?
If I use a theme that mimics my site's design and templates that pull the right data based on category, what would the URLs look like? Would they all be in the directory WordPress?
Any and all advice would be much appreciated.

Wildcats Ready for Conference USA Championship
Wildcats Ready for Conference USA Championship
May 16, 2013
Championship Central | Heat Sheets
MANHATTAN, Kan. - The Kansas State rowing team heads back to Tennessee this weekend to take on their rivals at the Conference USA Rowing Championship. Action begins on Melton Hill Lake on Saturday morning with 11 programs fighting for the team title and a spot at the NCAA Championship. This year's championship regatta is sure to be another tight battle on the water as the Wildcats look to improve on last year's finish after seeing success earlier this year at the venue.
"In the 1st Varsity 8, the crew is looking sharp but will have to be willing to push harder to make up ground against their conference foes and boats of comparable speed at Conference USA. The 2nd Varsity 8 returned to a similar lineup to the crew that won at SIRAs and is eager to finish strong with a better matched combination in the boat," said head coach Patrick Sweeney. "The Varsity 4 lineup will remain as it has all season and will be joined by two more K-State fours who will enter the Open 4 event looking to gain experience for some of our younger athletes at the end of the season."
The Conference USA Championship will begin with preliminary heats at 9 a.m., starting with the 1st Varsity 8. K-State will field boats in four of the five races. Grand Finals will start at 2:20 p.m. Points will be awarded for each place in the 1st Varsity 8, 2nd Varsity 8 and Varsity 4 events to determine a champion, while no points will be given for placement in the Novice 8 or the Open 4 since these events are not fielded at the NCAA Championship.
Tennessee is the defending champion after holding off Texas by just nine points and Oklahoma by 11 last season as the Lady Vols scored 53 points. This year will be another tight contest with Oklahoma recently winning its first Big 12 Conference Championship.
"We are still a somewhat young team and our practice conditions haven't helped out a lot. Still, I feel the team as a whole has learned a lot this season, consistently improving and this race is their last opportunity to learn racing maturity - being willing to tolerate more pain, knowing when to push, and how to respond to other crews down the course," Sweeney said. "If they learn to do that this weekend, they may surprise some of their opponents."
After the championship, Conference USA will recognize its champion and also award an All-Conference Team. Student-athletes who were recently named to the Conference USA All-Academic Team will also be recognized during the awards ceremony.
Fans can follow the action via social media with updates from the event available on multiple Twitter accounts. Updates from the regatta will be posted on @ConferenceUSA1, @LadyVol_Rowing and @kstate_gameday. Check the championship central page at conferenceusa.com as well for updates and more information.

One of the guys Chance Warmack will be asked to slow is Houston Texans defensive lineman J.J. Watt.
Warmack spoke of him when the Titans introduced their first-round pick today.
When I asked the guard out of Alabama who ranked as his toughest matchup during his college career, he pointed to another member of the AFC South.
"Probably Drake Nevis," he said of the former LSU defensive tackle who's now with the Colts. "I think somebody told me he is in the same divisions as we are? Yeah, I was kind of excited about that. I can get my rematch on him.
"He opened my eyes to what you see in a great 3-technique, he helped me improve and be a better player over the course of my time at Alabama. He's an excellent 3-tech, and excellent D-lineman."
As for Watt, Warmack laughed when he was asked about the reigning defensive player of the year.
"Everybody talks about J.J. Watt," he said.
"He'll worry about that Week 2," coach Mike Munchak interjected.
"We talked about J.J. Watt when I was a junior in college," Warmack said. "He's an excellent football player. I can't wait to see him."

There are a number of conflicting reports out there that claim bananas make you gain weight or that bananas are beneficial for weight-loss. Let's dissect this:

Those who warn against eating bananas for fear of weight gain are basing the advice on carb content, particularly sugar. Bananas are fairly high in sugar which can turn to body fat more quickly than other nutrients.

 Another reason bananas get a bad rap is that their calorie count is higher than other fruits. A cup of apple slices has about 60 calories while a cup of banana slices has around 135 calories.

Experts in the pro-banana camp say the neatly packaged fruit has the perfect amount of carbs and calories for a satisfying and healthy snack choice. The amount of sugar isn't high compared to most sugary snacks - like cookies and candy - and bananas have the added benefit of fiber.

Some people even say you can eat an unlimited amount of bananas (or any fruit) and not gain weight since the fruit itself is so good for you - it's rich in vitamins, minerals, and nutrients.

There's no conclusive evidence that bananas make you gain or lose weight. As with all foods, the question of whether eating a banana is going to pack on the pounds or melt them off comes down to the number of calories they contain and how many calories you're burning.

If I had to pick a side, I would probably come down on the bananas-for-weight-loss side of the fence. Eaten as a snack, a banana is a great choice. It's filling, it's nutritious, and it contains a reasonable number of calories. But note that bananas are not a "free food" that you should go completely nuts with - if you add three large bananas to your regular daily food intake, you'll be eating more than 350 extra calories. Think replacement, not addition.

Keep in mind that one medium banana (7-8 inches long) has about 105 calories, half a gram of fat, 27g carbs, 3g fiber, 14.5g sugars, and 1g protein. Bananas are chock full of nutrients, too They're good sources of potassium (for heart health) and vitamin C (a powerful antioxidant).

Also, avoid banana chips. A half-cup serving has about 210 calories and 12.5g fat. Banana chips are not bananas. They're bananas that have been deep fried and doused in sugar, aka food fakers.

Beauty Bonus: Bananas are a great source of potassium which is great for hair health.

Try and enjoy these meal and snack ideas:

 With oatmeal: I love slicing up some banana and adding it to my morning oatmeal. You can also mash the fruit and add it your oatmeal while it cooks.

 As a cinnamon-sprinkled snack: Bananas are great with cinnamon. Just slice one up, dust it with cinnamon, and go to town.

 With yogurt: I like to mix chopped banana into fat-free plain Greek yogurt along with some cinnamon and no-calorie sweetener. You can also layer the fruit and yogurt with some high-fiber bran cereal and sliced almonds.

 As frozen coins: I love the texture of frozen banana. It also takes a bit longer to eat which means you're more likely to feel full by the time you're done eating. Top your banana coins with strawberry yogurt and chopped peanuts before freezing them - it's like a healthy deconstructed banana split!

VCF exhibits
Expand Messages
- Hey people! Go register your exhibits!
It's okay if you do not have all the details sorted out. Just put in a couple of sentences. I will edit as needed.
It is VERY IMPORTANT that people not procrastinate. That way, when the public sees the event web site, they'll also see that there are great exhibits. If they see just a few, then they're likely to scoff and not return -- they don't know what you "plan" to exhibit.
The more people sign up early, the better we can plan, the smoother and more awesome VCF will be.
