Discussion in 'Tennessee Titans and NFL Talk' started by Riverman, Aug 23, 2013.
Youre probably safe
PK also doesn't have a very high opinion of fan's opinions. I think he believes we're all retards. I always thought that he would be a good writer for the National Enquirer. But overall, I don't have a problem with most of what he writes. I just wish he was a little more respectful of other people's opinions. He knows it all, ya know... ;-)
lol - read this after I posted. I see we share the same opinion
Fits in well at ESPN. A guy who talks a good game and has the connections but in the end does not know as much as he pretends to know. ESPN lost their last good NFL guy when Len Pasquarelli left.
(South Park: "I broke the dam" scene...)
I don't really expect original insight from writers. PK has more access to the Titans than I do, but I think we are probably pretty on par as far as insight from observing games. I don't think he "steals" his ideas. There are only so many directions you can take (Locker sucks, Locker is great, or it is a mixed bag).
I just didn't like getting condescension from saying that rookie McCourty is better than rookie Mouton and will eventually be a good starting CB, the Chris Johnson draft pick was unorthodox but a great pick, etc, etc, etc.
Texans are about to be on the scope of the Cowboys, 1 man cant cover the Texans these days and the other teams.

2046 Café & Restaurant
Posted by: Wen Ching In: Malaysian Food
Like we mentioned in our previous post in Hailam Kopitiam, there're lots of new restaurants opening around this area lately. It's really convenient especially when we're looking for places for supper occasionally. Some of these restaurants are opened until late night. 2046 is one of them. So we decided to give this place a try.
There were quite a number of customers although it was quite late when we enter the restaurant. Some of them with their laptop, perhaps it was because they provide free Wifi service. They also provide playing cards and magazines for customers.
Besides food, they sell paintings and souvenirs. There were many artworks hung on the walls of the restaurant.
Back to our main topic – food. We ordered a French toast for RM5. Slightly expensive but it tasted quite good topped with a generous serving of honey. It was quite filling.
Can't resist something hot, we ordered seafood tom yam soup with rice for RM8.90. If you enjoy something really hot and spicy, this would be a good choice. Two glasses of water are definitely not enough to put off the fire! We like this tom yam probably because the soup was filled with a large serving of mushrooms, tomatoes, fishcakes and other vegetables.
Service was quite average. Not bad for its food, gonna try out different food next time!

Stuck in Love
A family of writers are all at different points in their respective romantic lives. William (Greg Kinnear) spies on his ex-wife and her new boyfriend, while his daughter Samantha (Lilly Collins; Mirror Mirror) is at college having a string of disconnected one-night stands, and his son Rusty (Nat Wolff; Admission) is hopelessly in love with his classmate Kate (Liana Liberato). Thankfully, the movie isn't three intertwining stories about depressed writers complaining about their love lives; that would get boring real fast. While the three main characters' relationships are at the center of the piece, much of the story deals with Samantha's first book being published. This causes a jealous divide between her and her brother, and her father is only excited until he finds out that the book in question is not the one he helped her edit and rewrite.
I really enjoyed Stuck in Love while I was watching it. It was funny and smart and charming, but now that I'm thinking about it little things do stand out to me as unrealistic. Samantha's being so jaded about relationships is justified by things she experienced as a child, but it's odd to me now looking back exactly how put together she is while accepting that all relationships are doomed. This does lead to my favorite relationship in the film, between Samantha and Louis (Logan Lerman; The Perks of Being a Wallflower), who is a really well-written and witty character, who quickly sees through Samantha's tough girl façade. It's also a bit unbelievable to me that the book Samantha is getting published is something she wrote over a summer, and did not use her father's name to help get her foot in the door. Maybe there are cases out there where really young writers catch lightning in a bottle and get full-length novels published after throwing it together in a few months, but I'd bet it's extremely rare.
Rusty's relationship with Kate feels reminiscent of every high school romance, but again there are things about it that feel too unbelievable. Her drug addiction for example was like something you'd see in a movie about a life-long cocaine user trying to get her life on track but ultimately failing at every turn. You could maybe justify her "drug problem" as a need for attention after her popularity takes a hit at school when she dumps the popular jock character for the nerdy writer character. But that's mostly me struggling to come up with a reason than the film actually establishing one.
I do like all of the performances here, especially Greg Kinnear who over the course of the year the film takes place in keeps insisting that his ex-wife Erica (Jennifer Connelly) will come back to him. He's made a promise to wait for her, but has been sleeping with the young married woman down the beach (Kristen Bell) to pass the time. This doesn't endear the character to me at all, but it does make him feel more realistic than the others, and I can at least see why he does everything he does.
The ending was predictable and unsatisfying, but overall I did really enjoy this movie. It never felt pretentious or tedious. It's a nice little character-driven dramedy, and maybe my favorite thing about it is that there is very little conflict surrounding these people as writers, which I've said many times is a very boring way to approach a film.

credentialing, revisited
¶ 1 Leave a comment on paragraph 1 0 But the idea of texts and authors being "ranked" and "rated" within the system raises several important concerns, most notably about the quantification of assessment across the academy. Faculty in the humanities in particular are justifiably anxious about the degree to which accrediting bodies and the U.S. Department of Education are demanding empirical, often numerical, accounting of things like "student learning outcomes," even in fields in which the learning itself isn't empirically-driven, but rather focused on interpretation and argument. Certainly we don't want our own work to be subject to the same kinds of "bean-counting" principles, in which statistics overtake more nuanced understandings of significance; as Lindsay Waters suggests, the danger in assuming that all knowledge can be quantified is that "[e]mpiricism makes people slaves to what they can see and count" (9), and the values of the humanities are largely non-countable. Moreover, our colleagues in the sciences might provide a bit of a cautionary tale: even in fields whose methods and evidence are largely empirically produced, concerns about the reliance on citation indexes and impact factors as metrics of faculty achievement are growing.[1.44] We certainly don't want to suggest to tenure and promotion review committees that the data produced through a process of online peer-to-peer review is a more accurate evaluation of faculty performance simply because it contains numbers.
¶ 2 Leave a comment on paragraph 2 2 On the other hand, we're already relying upon a system that's even more reductive than the kinds of metrics that the web can provide; the results of the current system of peer review are a simple binary: either the article or monograph was published in a peer-reviewed venue or it was not. There is precious little nuance in such a mode of evaluation, little room for considering whether a text published in a non-traditional format has been important in its field, little means of assessing the value of a scholar's contributions to a field outside of standardized modes of publishing. Network-based peer-to-peer review can provide us with certain kinds of information that can help complicate this practice, including of course the quantitative, such as numbers of inbound links, of comments, of citations, and of course statistical analysis of community-based review practices, but also including a wide range of qualitative, evaluative, interpretative commentary from the other authors and readers interacting with the texts we produce. No single measure can demonstrative proof of scholarly significance, but a range of such information, including both the numerical and the narrative, the empirical and the ephemeral, can help illuminate the wide variety of ways that texts interact with the community of scholars.
¶ 3 Leave a comment on paragraph 3 2 The question remains, of course, whether the various credentialing bodies that currently rely on peer review's gatekeeping function will be satisfied with the kinds of information that such a system can provide. This is the point at which I must fall back on polemic, and simply insist that they must — that we must say to hiring committees, tenure and promotion review bodies, and, most importantly, ourselves, that the fact that ostensibly anonymous reviewers didn't determine whether an article or monograph was worthy of publication shouldn't matter. A system of peer-to-peer review won't give us an easy binary criterion for determining "value" — but then, if we're honest, it never has. It will, however, give us invaluable information about how a scholar is situated within her field, how her work has been received and used by her peers, and what kind of effect she is having on her field's future. Moreover, we need to remind ourselves, as Cathy Davidson has pointed out, that the materials used in a tenure review are meant in some sense to be metonymic, standing in for the "promise" of all the future work that a scholar will do ("Research"). We currently reduce such "promise" to the existence of a certain quantity of texts; we need instead to shift our focus to active scholarly engagement, of the sort peer-to-peer review might help us produce. Requiring an up-or-down measurement of impact, or promise, or engagement, or even relying on computationally produced metrics, can never provide an adequate substitute for the real work that such credentialing bodies must do: reading and assessing the scholarship, and engaging with expert analysis on the relationship between the scholarship and the field.[1.45] It is in part our desire for shortcuts, for a clear and quantifiable set of benchmarks by which we can judge "quality" without having to do the labor ourselves, that has gotten the academy into its current predicament, in which the very systems of production on which it relies are crumbling. Until institutional assumptions about how scholarly work should be assessed are changed — but moreover, until we come to understand peer-review as part of an ongoing conversation among scholars rather than a convenient means of determining "value" without all that inconvenient reading and discussion — the processes of evaluation for tenure and promotion are doomed to become a monster that eats its young, trapped in an early twentieth century model of scholarly production that simply no longer works.

Margaret Roach: How to Grow Garlic
A love affair with garlic
Published 6:14 pm, Tuesday, August 25, 2015
Yes, yes, I know: To reap life's sweetest morsels, we're meant to live in the moment, not bounce distractedly forward and backward in time. Be here now. Being too present in the vegetable garden's now, however, can mean a paltry harvest then, so I'll risk maximum transcendence and keep on planning, and planting, with the future in mind.
September is farther from the end than it seems, though admittedly not the perpetual possibility of April, when the entire growing season lies ahead.
"Sow what now?" my organic seed-farmer friend Ken Greene of Hudson Valley Seed Library catalog likes to say at junctures like this one in the outdoor calendar, when he fears we may be tempted to pull the latest crop and call it quits. He's provoking us to keep on sowing, to eke out another yield or two, despite the short season of our shared USDA Hardiness Zone 5B (Ken is in Accord, New York).
I twist his question into a mantra of my own: Sow now what?
In July I still had perhaps 18 choices on my can-sow-more-of list, crops that could achieve maturity before frost would signal a full stop, or at least get in my way. I'm down to maybe half that number -— including a few investments on a headstart to next year's harvests, not for eating this fall.
More Information
From her organic garden in Columbia County, Margaret Roach is a writer, columnist and creator of AWayToGarden.com. She's also the host of a weekly public-radio show and podcast, A Way to Garden, available free on iTunes. You may visit her garden on Sept. 19.
How to Grow Garlic
• Buy certified seed garlic from Filaree Farm, Seed Savers, Seed Library, or the farmers' market — but not supermarket garlic. I prefer hardneck types, with fewer, larger cloves per head, and the bonus crop of scapes in June.
• Select a sunny spot with well-drained soil.
• In October, about three weeks before frost is in the ground, separate individual cloves, and plant 2-3 inches deep, 6-8 inches apart in each direction. Water deeply, and mulch.
• Don't panic if green shoots appear; it's hardy.
• Apply organic fertilizer or topdress with compost or both in spring, when shoots show active growth. Keep well-weeded, and well-watered.
• Harvest time is usually July, when several lower leaves brown but 5 or 6 remain green. Cure out of the sun with stems attached for several weeks in a dry, airy spot, then trim stems and store bulbs in the dark, ideally at 35F-40F.
In the garden's heyday, none of them would even approach grail status, the way a tomato finished with homegrown basil does. In this waning moment, though, the last can-sow's each sound spectacular, so into my raised beds are going one more succession sowing of arugula, garden cress, radishes, leaf lettuce, mustard greens and bok choy. Other Asian greens could work now, too, including komatsuna, mibuna or mizuna.
I'm planting spinach for fall consumption, and then I'm doing it again, extra-defiantly, a liberal sowing sometime between late this month but before the ground says no, and surrenders to allow the frost in. I'll tuck that spinach-to-be under an insulating garden blanket rated for overwintering, and begin picking it almost before a spring sowing would have time to germinate.
Another satisfaction will be derived, beyond the plate. That last spinach effort means I can conjure a far more positive mental image of what's going on, in secret, beneath the snow on winter's harshest days. I know that voles — creators of those telltale surface tunnels a gardener dreads seeing when snow melts — will probably be prospering in the subnivean layer's insulation, gnawing bulbs and roots. Never mind; I've sown the luxury of a happier visualization: of tiny spinach plantlets all cozy and ready to expand, eventually to feed me.
Mache (also called corn salad or lamb's lettuce, though neither corn nor lettuce — nor lamb) is similarly sturdy. It gets the double treatment, too: a quick fall crop, and another sown and covered for the longer haul.
Eventually, even for Ken and me, the closing ceremonies do arrive, the moment when we can't go on without a greenhouse or at least a "high tunnel" of hoops and plastic (or third-best, a proper coldframe). The last act is the best one: the day when the garlic goes in the ground.
I liken growing garlic to dating with an eye to marriage. It can take years to find the variety that suits you, and at least as long again to get in step together, and sort the details of till death us do part.
"German Extra Hardy" and I have been together more than a decade. It is a hardneck type, sometimes called "German Stiffneck" or "German White," whose long roots anchor it deeply, insurance against heaving in freezes and thaws. It took five years together to build up enough stock to eat all year, plus have my own "seed," as the harvested garlic cloves not eaten but reserved for replanting are called.
Dare I say, with each one pressed into the soil next month, I'll be looking back on what it took to achieve my garlic independence, and also toward the next-generation harvest in late July?

What you need to know about Qualcomm's Snapdragon 835 processor
As we mentioned a few days ago in a previous entry, rumour has it that HTC has begun testing its new flagship device, which would logically be named HTC 11 (although the HTC U brand might be another option). In any case, Qualcomm's Snapdragon 835 processor will power the device, so we've decided to take a further look into the latter to see what potential benefits it would bring to HTC's new smartphone.
Design-wise, this 10 nanometre chip processor is 65% the size of former versions, including its predecessor Snapdragon 821, which has been used to power the HTC U Ultra. Moreover, it uses 25% less power, has a long lasting battery life and charges faster. The 835 also has a peak download speed of up to 1GB, which is much faster than that of the 821 version, which only goes up to 600 Mbps. As for camera functions, with its 14-bit Qualcomm Spectra™ it can capture up to 32 MP without any shutter lag and it also reproduces real life colours.
In addition to all of these characteristics, Qualcomm's new processor also includes a specific improvement that addresses gamers: the ADRENO GPU. One of its most notable features is that it delivers faster and real-life graphics for immersive experiences. Snapdragon 835 also has a comprehensive user and device security authentication system which helps further protect access to the smartphone, effectively offering an extra level of protection to apps with a high level security mechanism and contain the user's private data. This is achieved through the Qualcomm Haven Security Suite, an authentication process that includes facial, voice, iris and fingerprint recognition.
One of its most remarkable features of this next-generation processor is the Qualcomm® Kryo™ 280 CPU which is highly power efficient. It should also be noted that, as the company's SVP mentioned, Qualcomm's intention is to take the mobile world into virtual reality. Features such as surround sound, eye tracking, 1GB download speed, an edge-cutting camera and real-life graphics seem to support this step into augmented reality. Allegedly, this processor will also support Windows 10 on mobile PC.
Although Snapdragon 835 will be used in mobiles that will be available on the market later on this year, we'll have to wait for the launch of HTC's 2017 flagship device to see how well it works and to what extent will it actually take devices a step further into the future.

US ace Ligety records historic hat-trick at Soelden
American star Ted Ligety made history on Sunday with a record third straight win in Soelden, in the World Cup season-opening men's giant slalom.
The 29-year-old, who led after the first run, gave a blistering performance to beat Frenchman Alexis Pinturault (2:00.29) and Austrian Marcel Hirscher at (2:00.52).
The triple world champion -- who won by an astonishing 2.75sec last year -- equalled Austrian legend Hermann Maier's three wins here. Ligety however is the first person to win them in consecutive seasons.
"I feel like in some ways that first race anxiety kinda helps me a little bit," he said.
"It's nice to be able to consistently do well here, and this is a hill that suits me well.
"You don't have to think too much about tactics... you just have to charge and trust your skiing.
"Coming into the race, I wasn't super confident actually until a couple of days ago," he said, citing limited opportunities to train over the summer.
"The first run felt super smooth... (but) the second run had a couple of tricky spots.
"So I was just happy to make it to the finish line and see the green light," he added.
With the Olympics in Sochi in February, he said he wanted to remain focussed on the World Cup races.
"I think the best preparation for the Olympics is the World Cup season, it gives you confidence, it keeps you sharp and just that whole competitive atmosphere keeps you going and gives you the ability to really bring your best to the Olympics."
Ligety has already said he is aiming for the overall World Cup title this season.
"It's a nice confirmation that I'm on the right way," he said.
Pinturault, 22, made up some early lost time to finish second, equalling his performance from 2011, for his 15th World Cup podium.
"For the beginning (of the season), a second place is perfect. We will try to build something around this podium," he said.
"I think I'm really strong this year... I'll try to be faster and faster," he added.
Hirscher, the home-crowd favourite, put in a risky two runs, threatening to ski out on several occasions but finished third as he did last year.
"It's not easy to stand up there at the start, so many people are expecting great things from me," he said.
"But right now I am so happy and satisfied with another podium."
Hirscher drew comfort from the fact Ligety's winning margin was much reduced.
"It's good to see that we came that little bit closer in one year," said Hirscher.
"Exactly one year ago we were more than three seconds behind Ted. Now I can say it's pretty ok to be one second behind Ted...and maybe I can beat him once!"
Downhill world champion Aksel Lund Svindal of Norway, who had been one of the favourites to win, finished joint fourth with France's Steve Missillier.
The skiers had to tackle the course on the Rettenbach glacier, at 3,000 metres (9,840 feet) altitude, amid constantly changing conditions.
Ahead of the first run already, the race start had to be lowered due to strong winds.
US ski king Bode Miller, who took last season off and was competing in his first World Cup race since February 2012, skied smoothly but finished 19th.
The World Cup next moves to Levi, Finland on November 16-17.

EZ-IO® Intraosseous Infusion System
Immediate Vascular Access...when you need it most.
The EZ-IO® Intraosseous Infusion System Product System is designed to provide immediate vascular access when needed. It is simple, reliable, and quick for dentists who may not be comfortable running an IV line in an emergency.
Challenging vascular access is a critical problem in 5-10% of all patients in the pre-hospital and hospital settings. From onset of illness or initial injury, through patient transport and treatment in the Emergency Department, vascular access is critical to survival. In patients suffering from conditions such as shock, cardiac arrest, drug overdose, dehydration, diabetic coma, renal failure and altered states of consciousness, it may be impossible to find an accessible vein.
The intraosseous space functions as a non-collapsible vein with fluid or medication reaching the central circulation within seconds. In the pre-hospital environment, emergency medical providers are finding that IO is immediate, safe and effective venous access.
The EZ-IO® Kit contains the easy to use hand-held driver along with 2 adult needles, tubing, wristband, and case.(Pediatric needle available for additional fee)
The EZ-IO® by Vidacare® consists of a small battery-powered device and two beveled, hollow drill-tipped needles that were specifically designed to provide safe, controlled vascular access via the intraosseous (IO) route to patients of all ages in emergent situations when vascular access is challenging or impossible. The two needles apply to patients of the weight ranges 3 - 39 kg and 40 kg or greater. The EZ-IO® creates a stable port into the intraosseous space accessing the central vascular system within seconds, causing minimal trauma to the patient. The greater than 40 kg needle was specially designed with a beveled drill tip to quickly and easily penetrate through the hard exterior of adult bones while the 3 - 39 kg needle is shorter in length permitting easy access through the softer bones of pediatric patients. This design provides the EZ-IO® with superior control, a stable, secure port, and effectiveness unparalleled by the alternate IO products on the market today.
The intraosseous space is a specialized area of the vascular system where blood flow is rapid and continues even during shock. Drugs and fluids infused via the intraosseous route reach the central circulation as quickly as those administered through standard IV access.
Benefits of the EZ-IO®:
Immediate vascular access
Equivalent to IV for effectively delivering fluids and medications within seconds

The building in Madrid in Escunitla, Guatemala was the same center that our founder helped build the foundation as a child when he was in Guatemala in 1994 as a 16 year old boy. After he left Guatemala we sent letters to the people every year but none of his letters arrived. During that time all programs had stopped and the building being in financial difficulty was paid off by loving missionaries. 8 years later his last letter arrived and the pastor and Jonathan committed to work together. Years still passed and The Hope Movement without a center did many evangelistic activities, missions, provisions for children and families including the pastor as well as help in upgrading the building which was being used at the time by the pastor and his family. In 2011 The Hope Movement's application was approved and we received a grant from the Zimmer Family Foundation for $11,000 and we remodeled the building investing in total $12,324.06 in in construction and labor and $5,628.98 in paying rent of the pastor and family totaling $17,953.04. The Haven of Hope Center opened in 2012 and over the years we have provided tens of thousands of meals, provided counseling and education to hundreds of children and adults, gave wheelchairs to those in need, provided medical care for the pastor (Over $5,000) and others in the community and conducted many community outreaches to preach the Gospel. Over the last several years over $178,313.32 has been utilized with great stewardship to the work of Jesus Christ in Guatemala. Although we are no longer affiliated in anyway with the pastor in Escuintla do to a variety of reasons, we praise God for the time we were able to bring God glory by sharing the Gospel and helping those in need in Escuintla. To God be the glory for none of this could have been accomplished without His provision. Also we are grateful to every person who donated and supported this project over the years. During that time your sacrifice made a huge difference in the lives of the people in Escuintla and more importantly the seeds of the Gospel were planted in their hearts. Continue to pray that the Holy Spirit uses those seeds to regenerate hearts bringing them to salvation through the grace of Jesus Christ.
During this time of transition The Hope Movement led by our president will continue conducting evangelistic and mission activities in Escuintla as we have a deep commitment to the people and for our president the children consider him family and he will not abandon them. After much prayer although we wish things were different for this is not what we wanted we also feel peace that God's sovereignty is involved in this process, moving us, guiding us to fulfill His will. His plan is perfect and He is in complete control of every step we make. So let us remember 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

With all that is going on in the world, is there nothing else to plaster all over the front and back page of The News Tribune but a "gay marriage," including pictures (TNT, 8-13)?
Please. It's getting tiring having this forced upon us all the time. I'm truly sorry that The News Tribune has so blatantly shown its biased journalism.

Nadinoo, Fall-Winter 2011 – 2012 collection
You know you are a print enthusiast when there are so many prints in your closet, you can't make an outfit without mixing and matching prints. You know you are a print enthusiast when you have a pair of Miu Miu cat print heels, an animal print faux-fur coat, floral print tights, striped long sleeves in any color and at least one 50s inspired polka dot dress – to name only the essentials. And since you seem to be loving prints so much, here is what the British brand Nadinoo designed for the Fall-Winter season of 2011 – 2012.
The Nadinoo Fall-Winter 2011 – 2012 line is absolutely filled with prints: birds, feathers, abstractions and many more, all in neutral, peaceful colors that are perfect for the current season.
Their clothing is hand made, so while the prices may be higher than average, the quality of the fabrics and craftsmanship are very high, too. Everything is hand picked, designed with care, and made to order in a limited series. Nadia Izruna is the designer behind this brand, and she says: "I liked the idea of hand sewing a garment just for the intended wearer, making it special and unique just for them. The idea of deconstructing the process to be more flexible and engaging for the consumer is a concept I still hope to develop further in future collections." Doesn't that sound beautiful?
As we were saying, if you like prints and are crazy about unique pieces, then you're gonna love the Nadinoo collection. There are many dresses, each with it's special cut and print, so anyone can find something that suits their taste. For example, the first dress pictured above, with the drop waist and long sleeves, is the perfect fit for those with a short torso and very long legs – the waistline will create the illusion that the real waist is lower than it actually is; avoid this cut if you have short legs though, or at least wear it with high heels!
The next dress has the opposite cut: an empire waist, with an oversized bow on the chest. This cut is great for pear shaped body types, who have a small bust and wide hips – the dress will hide the lower half of the body, making the upper half seem more prominent.
A combination we love for the cold season is printed shorts, with knitted tights, worn with a colorful shirt. Of course, you should add a cardigan and a scarf, and an overcoat – but you'll look really pretty for everyday!
See how versatile those mustard tights are? They can be worn with any dress this winter! The first one pictured is A-line, inspired by the 60s, and we recommend it for athletic silhouettes, who lack a marked waist. Or, if you like, you can belt the dress – either way, it will make your legs long and thin if you wear it with heels, but it will be great for winter if you wear it with boots – try heeled ones for the best effect.
The dress in the middle is girly and cute, with buttons and a collar in the upper half, and a flattering wide skirt. The long sleeve and the fabric make it really good for the season!
A dress with a simple cut, but a bold feather print, is pictured to the right. The color is very autumn like, but you can brighten it with red or green accessories – this could be the right dress to wear on Christmas dinner!
The straight dress with a peter pan collar can look good as is, or with a belt. The silhouette is flattering especially if you're not curvy, but rather androgynous. The print and the color are discreet, so you can afford using colorful accessories, like perhaps an electric blue statement necklace or a bow headband à la Blaire Waldorf.
The dress in the middle was especially designed to be layered – and it looks amazing over a bird printed shirt! The fabric belt gives it a nice retro 70s feel, do definitely try this one if you're a bit nostalgic.
Other gorgeous designs from Nadinoo include this amazing midi skirt to the right, paired with a red shirt and mary janes – fashionable and timeless!

Starbucks Carrollton Reviews
14 reviews
A must stop for coffee lovers! Jul 18, 2008
I absolutely am in love with Starbuck's and this location is the first one I ever went to. I used to never even like coffee, but now I'm addicted to almost anything Starbuck's. There Java Chip Frappuccino's hit the spot on a hot Texan day, and Mocha Latte's are great to warm you up. The muffins are delicious (I've had all of them)... and I would presume after having sampled cookies and scones, that all the baked goods are simply yummy!! They never seem too busy, like some Starbuck's but have a steady flow of customers all day. For internet junkies, I do believe they have wifi and you can buy gift cards amongst other coffee products from them, while you are there - they make terrific gifts.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'NFL Draft' started by Maker_84, Apr 27, 2012.
Does that happen if we go C instead?
B-, This next pick will smiles on ya face.
Now that we just drafted a really good DT can we all agree not to grade the draft until it is over?
I guess the Mike Martin pick bumps the grade up to an F+?
I love angry, over-reacting threads.
OMG our 2nd rnd pick suxors our entire draft is ruinz.
OMG! my life is a lie...
Am I the only one loving this draft?!
Wright solidifies our WR corps (something we never had)
Brown will give us a LB corps that will be scary for years (ESP if we start rushing the passer with lb more)
Martin will clog the middle (hopefully enough to stop HOU running game)
I love it so far
I'm fully confident they have a C in mind in the coming rounds.
After the Martin pick, I'll raise my initial grade from a C- to a B-.
Still not happy with the Brown pick. Curry, Still, and David were all there. Really, really wanted Curry.
I can agree on a B- or so thus far.
Really wish we could've traded for Samuel and not have to worry about upgrading CB this year... or for the next few years.
Had we gotten Samuel and drafted Curry in the 2nd, I would have given this offseason (draft/FA) a big A+.

The spinach also has folate and phytochemicals, some Vitamin C, glycoglycerolipids, beta carotene, lots of B vitamins, and Vitamin K. Unfortunately, it's also high in oxalic acid, which means I'm not supposed to eat it as I have chronic kidney stones. :-/
The tomatoes have lycopenes and phytochemicals, and Vitamin C
The onions have Vitamin A, Vitamin C, quercitin, sulfur compounds
The carrots have Vitamin A, B1, B6, C, D, E, K, and phytonutrients
The chicken has fat, a lot of Niacin and B6, and a lot of phosphorous and selenium!
gotcha – first quiz of the semester, need to figure out what the instructor is really asking for –
will do some extra credit later on 🙂
I think this a trick question because as you know there is a difference in nutrients in why kind of chicken, factory farm or local organic chicken,

Hello, I've not written anything meaningful here since the forum was started. Might write something soon, we'll see. Don't know if anyone would care to know about me anyways lol... You're all here for the art, right?.. right?
- Re-Logic Games Owned:
- Terraria: PC
Since I don't have anything special to write here, I guess I'll plop some info and/or backstory on some of my OCs, starting with my main OC which I'm using as a persona here on the forum.
Carula was originally a human. This human has no name, as she threw it away long ago. She had no reason to hold on to her name as she was suffering from severe depression along with suicidal thoughts. However she didn't want her hands dirtied and set out to go out with a bang instead. She would traverse dangerous and unexplored dungeons while getting small and momentary thrills in in hopes of it one day becoming her end. She did enjoy herself at times, but her ultimate goal was still to die while experiencing the thrill of exploring. However, her plans of dying didn't turn out as she wanted them to. She survived. Again and again, she stepped out alive of increasingly dangerous and legendary ruins, lands, caves and the sort. And again and again were she greeted with increasingly respect as an explorer because of her discoveries. Her adventures would be told to children for generations and enjoyed equally as much by adults.
However, everything good comes to an end. The human -- now a renowned explorer entered her last dungeon. Her adventure as a human would end here. After five long years, she would finally get away from her misery, but she didn't know that as she picked up the ancient artifact from the inner sanctum of the dusty, abandoned tomb.
The tomb was as deep as it was long. The temperature was steadily rising the further down she traversed. Each step quicker than the last one. Maybe this was it? This might be when she would end?
As she approached the artifact, she surveyed the item on the golden pedestal. It was a mask, and grotesque looking to boot. She wanted to touch it. She needed to touch it. She knew she shouldn't, but she couldn't stop.
Right then, right there SHE died and what called itself for CARULA was born.
It was a trap.
As the chamber closed it's every exit, hidden vents let in liquid, glowing lava to take the intruder with it.
The human was submerged, burned, scorched, and from the molten rock a monster of burning, pulsating flesh rose.
OMNERO is here.
OMNERO burst out of the ruin with raw power. It smashed itself out of the walls out into the moonlight and as the writhing form of flesh and bone settled down, it formed around the human body and mind, creating it's core form.
It flexed it's claws, it blinked with it's four eyes placed on where a normal human's eyes would be placed and two over in the forehead region. It took a while to adjust to the light emitting from the big rock in the sky.
It could think. It could feel. It remembered it's old life as a lost soul. The loneliness and emptyness was no longer corrupting it's mind, instead the last spark of exploration thrills stuck with it, and it's love for life's flame was ignited once again. It wanted to know all, it wanted to see all. It needed it. It wanted it. It's intelligent but calm and reserved human mind had fused, evening out and become one with the primal and curious mind of OMNERO.
"Who am I?"
The newborn monster touched it's new and fanged jaw.
"I am."
As the back of it's head exploded into unimaginable and intimidating shapes.
"I am a new myself."
Salivating jaws, protruding teeth and eyes darting around covered the mass of evershifting muscle.
"I am."
Expanding, covering the moon and dying the sky red.
- "No.. No, I was born like this you inconsiderable, insufferable, human TRASH", the tall figure spat back at the dying human as he lifted himself off the ground onto his hind leg. With one swift thrust, the human was no more than a writhing corpse in a matter of moments, oozing the last bits of blood onto the cold hospital floor. Sirius, as the tall figure called itself, felt the dying human's soul seep into him, filling him with energy. His arms pulsed with a scarlet glow as the human became nothing but an empty husk imitating it's former self.The heart monitor's screeching beep echoed through the room.
As the dying man pulled his last breath, the last thing he saw was that of the white, clean sheets of which he lay in.

"Way of Tea" The Japanese Tea Ceremony
Friday, 13 August 2010
Image via Japanese-tea-ceremony.net
Harmony (wa) – Respect (kae) – Purity (sae) – Tranquility (jubuo)
These four words are the essential principles of the Japanese Tea Ceremony (or Chanoyu, meaning "hot water for tea") – words to live by. In Japanese culture, the tea ceremony is an elaborate event, dating back more than 1000 years, when tea leaves were brought from China to Japan by Buddhist priests, who incorporated the tea ceremony into daily religious life. Later the ceremony became a social occasion focused on aesthetics, spanning a spectrum of Japanese culture –attire, ceramics, décor, floral design, cuisine and even the delicate sculpting of ashes in the fireplace! The Japanese tea ceremony became an art form, taken so seriously that each participant – whether the host (teishu), the host's assistant (the hanto), or the guests – is required to perform the ritual according to specific guidelines:
Image via Asia-art.net
Traditional Japanese Tea Ceremony Procedure
The Host:
- Clean the serving bowls.
- Boil a pot of water.
- Serve a sweet treat before the tea – combination of the sweet and bitter (tea) flavors symbolizes Harmony.
- Mix powdered bitter green tea (Matcha) and water, then serve the tea to guests
The Guest:
- Bow when you receive the bowl of tea (chawan)
- Take the chawan with your right hand and place in palm of your left hand.
- Turn the chawan clockwise, three times, before taking a sip.
- When drinking your tea, slurp loudly – this lets the host know that you enjoyed the tea.
- With your right hand, wipe the the chawan where your lips touched.
- Turn the chawan counterclockwise, once, and return it to the host.
Bigelow Tea knows that tea is a wonderful ritual to be enjoyed in good company and in peaceful solitude, like our Japanese friends! (Cheers!)

A Michigan drunk driving charge is very serious. You must treat this charge as potentially life-changing. Many lawyers make a great deal of money on these cases by pleading people guilty to the offense of "operating while visibly impaired" (OWVI) without ever exploring a defense. An OWVI counts as a drunk driving conviction, and a Michigan drunk driving conviction can:
- Result in a jail term or imprisonment
- Loss of driving privileges and automobile forfeiture
- Collateral consequences on professional and occupational licenses
- Steep fines, costs, and driver responsibility fees
- Probation, community service, and work programs
- A Michigan drunk driving conviction cannot be expunged, set aside, or taken under advisement. A lot of people think that the courts simply want their money. No, to the contrary, the courts and the prosecutors demand money and a whole lot more.
A drunk driving charge is one of the most serious crimes that an ordinary everyday person might face in a lifetime, and most of our clients have never faced a criminal charge. Drunk driving cases are also some of the most complicated offenses for a criminal defense lawyer to handle, with an emphasis on scientific and highly technical defenses. But the good news is that these cases can be won, and you've been lucky enough to stumble across a law firm that has focused on drunk driving defense for over a decade and a half. With years of training and experience in field sobriety testing, breath testing, urine analysis, and blood testing, you have found one of Michigan's leading drunk driving defense firms. Call us right now so we can put our experience, training, and knowledge to work for you!

Back in September, I ran a guest post from Dannielle where she shared her strategies for growing her Pinterest followers.
Since that post ran, I've been using Dannielle's strategies to grow my own Pinterest following and I've gone from around 1,500 followers to 10,000 followers in four months.
Since then, I've been consistent in my pinning, putting her strategies into use and experimenting with a few of my own.
So today I want to share some additional lessons that I've learned, plus answer some common questions that have come up since Dannielle's post.
You don't need to follow a lot of people to gain new followers. This was a question that came up a lot after Dannielle's initial post. As with other social media advice, many people wondered if there was an expectation to follow and follow back. But this is not the reality on Pinterest. Both Dannielle and I rapidly grew our followers without greatly increasing (or even increasing at all) the number of people we follow. In fact, both Dannielle and I each follow less than 300 people.
The reason it's not worth worrying about how many people you follow is simple. One of the keys to getting more followers on Pinterest is to curate great content. And the easiest way to do that is to be selective about who you follow. When I go into my Pinterest feed, I know I'm going to see a lot of images that already match my aesthetic and point of view. And those images will lead me to more great images. This helps me quickly find lots of things to repin.
Know what it means to pin a lot. The biggest thing I did to grow my followers was to pin a lot. But I think it's important to define what a lot means. Because when I've given this advice to people, I haven't necessarily seen them pin in the quantities required for rapid growth.
So here's my definition of "pin a lot." On a regular day (where I'm not super active on Pinterest) I'll likely still pin 10 – 30 times per day. But on a day where I'm in active growth mode, I'm likely pinning 50 – 100 pins. Per day!
Hitting these numbers doesn't take me a ton of time each day either. That's because the bulk of my pins come from within Pinterest itself. (This is the other key to pinning a lot. Don't go trolling the Internet looking for things to pin. Pin from within Pinterest itself.)
I have two or three times a day (depending on my schedule) where I focus on generating a lot of pins. These are typically first thing in the morning (I ease into my day with Pinterest and Instagram), sometime in the afternoon (when I need a break from other work), and in the evening when I'm hanging out around the house.
My strategy for finding pins is typically the same for most days. I start with my feed, repinning things that catch my eye. Then, if something in my feed is particularly interesting, I'll scroll down to the "related pins" and continue pinning from there. If I've exhausted my feed (and still want to get more pins in) I'll head over to the categories search (I have a few categories that are my go to) and again, use "related pins" for images that catch my eye.
I do pin from outside Pinterest when I find something interesting (or when I want to promote my own stuff), but the bulk of my pins come from within Pinterest itself.
Aim for lots of pins on strategic boards. One of the tricks that Dannielle mentioned was to split up really broad category boards (like home) into narrower boards (like dining, living, bedroom, etc.). And I completely agree. (This is one of the strategies I used as well.) But, I've also observed that it's possible to go too narrow.
Splitting your boards too narrowly (and having too many boards) can actually backfire. That's because in order to really gain followers, a board needs a critical mass of pins. (There are exceptions to this rule, like if a board becomes a meme, like My Imaginary Well Dress Toddler Daughter. But for the most part, boards need a lot of pins to gain followers.)
What I've found is that the critical mass is somewhere over the two or three hundred pin mark. Boards under that amount just don't have the momentum or the visual interest to gain a lot of followers. And when you take a look at my boards and Dannielle's boards, you'll find plenty of boards in the 500 plus pin count.
This doesn't mean that you can't have boards with fewer pins. (Some boards are for special projects or still in the building phase.) But you want to have a core group of boards where you really pin to a lot. Splitting boards worked for Dannielle because she had a HUGE board (with over 4,000 pins). But if most of your boards are under 200 pins, your time is better spent pinning more to those, rather than constantly adding new boards.
Know who and what you are pinning for. Yes, I pin for me. (Because, well, I love Pinterest.) But I also pin with a clearly defined aesthetic and audience in mind. I want someone who sees my boards (or even my individual pins) to know that it's me. Even though I pin a lot, I'm still very cognizant about making sure that those pins are within my brand and my aesthetic. The result is a carefully curated collection that encourages people to follow. (And I use my secret boards to keep track of resources and ideas that don't quite fit the look or feel I'm going for on my public pins.)
I think it's important to state here that pinning with an audience and aesthetic in mind hasn't made Pinterest less fun for me. I LOVE Pinterest, and I love that I can curate a space that (let's be honest) might be the best visual representation of my brand. Even before I started this experiment to grow my followers (and really started strategically using it as a business tool) my personal aesthetic and brand still came through very strongly. I just amplified that over the last few months to help grow Pinterest for my business.
For me, it made sense to just amplify my personal board. (Especially since my brand is my name.) But if you've been using your personal Pinterest boards primarily for well, personal stuff, you can always create an account specifically for your business.
Share your own stuff (in the right ratio). One of the first questions that came up after Dannielle's post was "why?" What's the point of growing your Pinterest followers? Just like with any social network, growing your followers on Pinterest is about increase your influence and trust so that when you do share your own stuff, people are interested. Dannielle has a blog and I design products that are very much in keeping with what you'd find on Pinterest. Increased reach on Pinterest means increased visibility for our work.
Which makes the final piece of the Pinterest puzzle sharing your own stuff from time to time. When it comes to sharing my own content, I aim for three to five pins a day featuring something I've done. (The goal is to aim for a 10-1 ration – at least ten pins of other content for every one pin of your own content.) These pins generally come from three places – my online shop (which is where the majority come from), my blog, and my Instagram feed.
It's important when you're sharing your own stuff to spread the love in terms of where you'll pin your content. I have a few boards (like my "shop megan auman" and "behind the scenes" boards) that are exclusively for my stuff. But I've also worked hard to create a number of boards where I pin lots of other content that are still very much appropriate for my products. (Boards like "scarves," "fashion," "black and white and sometimes grey," and "art displayed.") Because these boards get pinned to more frequently, these are the boards that have the most followers, and that's where I want my content to appear.
One of the biggest challenges in sharing my own stuff is having to remember to jump off Pinterest to go to my own site or shop to pin an image. So recently, I started using a service called Viraltag to schedule my pins. For five dollars a month, I can preschedule up to 100 pins. (There are bigger plans too.) This has actually made it much easier to promote my own stuff. Once a week, I'll go in and schedule pins for the times of day when I'm typically active on Pinterest. (That way, they become part of my feed.)
I've also used my popular pins and boards to create content. For a recent model photo shoot, we spent time looking through my Pinterest boards to see what images were popular and styling our images in a similar way. That way, all that time spent on Pinterest becomes market research to see what my audience responds to.
Oh, and one more point about Pinterest. Vertical images rule! That's because the way Pinterest is set up makes vertical images appear much larger than horizontal images. And those vertical images are way more likely to be repinned. So whether it's product photography for your shop or content for your blog, stick to vertical (or at the very least, square) images, and they'll be much more likely to get shared!

Naruto is a backwards series. I don't mean that reversing the title reveals the secret word "Oturan", and I'm not referring to the right-to-left progression of the page. No, Naruto is a backwards series because creator Masashi Kishimoto has cleverly reversed all the normal standards of a "young hero in training" comic into something uniquely different.
