Liposuction cosmetic surgery is a procedure that entails removing excess deposits of fat from certain areas of the body to improve one's appearance. Visit skin club – cosmetic doctors for the best experts in liposuction. The procedure is also known as lipoplasty.
Who is eligible for a liposuction?
An individual undergoing liposuction is required to have normal healthy weight. The procedure is not a cure for obesity, it only aids in removing excess fat pockets on the tummy, thighs, and arms. Most patients undergo the procedure after a rapid weight loss that leaves them with unwanted fat in certain areas that does not go away with exercise and diet.
The procedure is often available to people over the age of 18 years. Teenagers are only allowed to go through the procedure with authorization from a doctor after a dramatic body change such as extreme weight loss.
Traditional liposuction
In this case, the surgeon inserts a thin tube called a cannula through an incision in the body and a high-frequency suction pump. Fluid is injected into the problem area, and the fat is broken down using the cannula. The fat is then sucked out through the cannula with the help of the suction pump.
Tumescent liposuction
This procedure is almost similar to the traditional method. The difference is that the surgeon injects local anesthesia to numb the area and a solution of lidocaine and epinephrine. The solution shrinks blood vessels to reduce bleeding, isolates the fat cells and makes them easier to remove, and reduces discomfort during the procedure. The cannula and the suction pump suck out the fat.
Ultrasonic liposuction
As the name suggests, this process uses ultrasound waves that are produced by the cannula to liquefy fat cells and make them easy to remove. The waves enhance the possibility of large and dense fat cells to be removed.
Laser liposuction
Laser liposuction procedures make use of laser waves to melt the fats in the problem area before they are removed. Laser processes are more expensive than the rest but they have minimal discomfort, minimal scarring, and they enhance fast recovery.
The most common areas for liposuction are the thighs, abdomen, breasts, hips, arms, neck and butt. It is important to note that the procedure does not remove stretch marks and cellulite. Recovery after liposuction procedures may take six weeks to six months depending on the intensity of the procedure.
Patients often wear compression garments to reduce the swelling. Liposuction cosmetic surgery is a good procedure that helps patients get their desired body results

T. Boone Pickens to speak at UTPB
Published 7:00 pm, Saturday, April 23, 2011
From Staff Reports
Permian Basin residents will have a free opportunity to hear legendary oilman, energy expert, and philanthropist T. Boone Pickens on Thursday, April 28, at 7 p.m. in the gymnasium at The University of Texas of the Permian Basin. His visit, which will include discussions with UTPB students, is sponsored by the John Ben Shepperd Public Leadership Institute as part of its Shepperd Distinguished Lecture Series.
The founder of Mesa Petroleum, Pickens led that company from 1956 until it became one of the country's largest and most well-known independent exploration and production companies. More recently, he founded BP Capital, which manages one of the nation's most successful energy-oriented investment funds. He is also a well known philanthropist who has given away nearly $1 billion.
Over the past few years, Pickens has been a vocal advocate for reducing the country's dependence on foreign oil. To that end, he has launched Mesa Power to develop selective wind power projects, Clean Energy to advance the use of natural gas as a fuel alternative, and other business interests including Mesa Water which is the largest private holder of permitted groundwater rights. Therefore, he is uniquely qualified to speak to people in this energy epicenter about "Energy on the Brink: The Money, the Science, and the Politics."
This is a truly remarkable opportunity to hear the man dubbed the "Oracle of Oil" by CNBC share his views on the current state of energy affairs in America and around the world. Admission is FREE. No tickets are required. For more information about his visit to the Permian Basin, contact the Shepperd Institute at 552-2850.

Tesla Says CEO Elon Musk Just Bought More of The Company
Apple Maps Had Been Directing People Searching For Abortion Clinics To Adoption Centers Since 2011
Tesla CEO Elon Musk thinks shares of his motor company are headed upward.
That's the apparent message reporters received this afternoon from Tesla's PR machine, which sent out an alert that Musk exercised 532,000 of his options in the company, or about $100 million worth, earlier today.
According to an SEC filing, the options were exercised at $6.63 a piece, which would have produced $98 million for Musk had he sold the shares. They're currently trading at $191 per share.
Of course, Musk, who is widely celebrated for his unwavering belief in his companies, didn't sell the shares. Instead, he's hanging on to them and, according to the company, he used more than $50 million in cash to both pay for the options and the taxes incurred from the transaction.
Musk now owns roughly one-fifth of Tesla, which is expected to unveil its most affordable car to date, the Model 3, in March. He said earlier this week that it's "going to be probably the most profound car that we make."
(By the way, Bloomberg ran a great feature earlier today about everything to know about the Model 3 so far.)Featured Image: Scott Olson/Getty Images

The written history of Hispanic Philippines is a story wrought in translation. Colonial accounts about this Southeast Asian archipelago attempted to make sense of its people and their cultures by translating them for a European readership in a period that spanned more than three centuries. While there were indeed a number of colonial administrators, travellers and other lay chroniclers who mentioned the country in their writings, it is in the texts penned by missionary priests that we find the earliest and most extensive intent to systematize the understanding of Filipinos on the basis of their languages and customs. From the very beginning of Spain's colonial expansion in Asia in the 1500s until the last year of the Empire in 1898 when the Philippines was finally ceded to the United States, members of various religious orders wrote histories that recounted how their brothers in the cloth preached the Christian doctrine to different ethnolinguistic groups in the country and the rest of the Asian continent. They similarly wrote grammars and dictionaries, the primary purpose of which was to help ministers in the administration of the sacraments and rituals of the Roman Church in the islands' many vernaculars.

Auto Pairing with Keyboard Maestro [Link]
I really like Kaushik's use of a timer in the macro to provide different functionality based on the rate of entry. I might riff on some of these tricks for new macros. Although I do think BBEdit already has some nice features to accomplish complex text wrapping, I have Keyboard Maestro macros for application that are not as feature rich as BBEdit.

If I told you this semester has been completely amazing, it wouldn't be the truth.
There are definitely people/things that are keeping me sane, but the past few months haven't been easy. I swear Econ is determined to kill me and I don't get much sleep, but then I remember that I'm graduating in about six-months and will soon start a new chapter of my life.
In the meantime my only option is to strive to find the good things in every day, which is so much easier to say than to actually do but I did say "strive," didn't I?
There have definitely been highlights from the past couple of months including filming video projects (one of which included going to the State Fair), Fall in general (favorite season), and of course all of the wine and caffeine I've consumed (don't hate).

Ok, as embarrassing as this is...I know we can park underground, I had no problems finding that. But, once we get underground where do we park? Just anywhere down there on that main level when you first drive in? I got ridiculously confused last time lol. The very nice valet guy found me a spot though.

They said anywhere along a wall is OK. Naturally, I avoided double-long spaces (or parked such that I couldn't be blocked from getting out). But, yeah, it seemed anywhere along any wall was open season. And probably most practical season as well.

Statistics Module Disabled
Can someone write up a brief explanation of why the stats module should be disabled and what the alternatives are. This came up in Tuesday's meetup when discussing performance and hits to the db. I make a few calls to the accesslog table to track user page views (the other modules I saw that gave content counts didn't give specific user profile counts...and no I am not using the content profile module and maybe should).
Please move this over to a general discussion if it deserves more weight than I am thinking.
Basically, the core
Basically, the core statistics module adds extra MySQL queries per page load. This isn't necessary when other metrics programs are available that are more feature-complete (like Google Analytics) or may already be self-hosted on the same server that Drupal is running on (like AWStats and Webalizer).
Do a search for drupal "statistics module" performance and you'll find a lot of interesting stuff. This is from http://books.tag1consulting.com/scalability/drupal/performance/logs
The Access Log
The Drupal Access Log is provided by the core statistics module. When this log is enabled, each time Drupal displays a page it logs the session ID of the user visiting the page, the title of the page visited, the internal Drupal path, the complete URL, the IP address of the visitor, the user ID of the visitor, the length of time it took Drupal to display the page, and a timestamp as to when the page was actually displayed. Drupal can then provide several useful administrative reports from this data.
As a website grows in popularity, the amount of data being written to the accesslog can quickly become an unnecessary performance bottleneck. It can help to configure Drupal to discard old access logs more frequently, minimizing the size of the accesslog database table. However, from a performance standpoint the best thing to do is to completely disable the statistics module and instead utilize the logs provided by your web browser.
The last word should actually read "server" and not "browser".
If you'd like to talk more about this, please post a new discussion and post it in both the LA Drupal and High Performance groups.

Newsflash: Grannies Need Linux
I completely realize I'm a geek. I've been using Linux far longer than it's been the "cool thing" to do. I've also been around the Windows world longer than Windows itself. And to nicely round off the playing field, for the better part of a decade, I've been supporting a network of Apple computers. All this experience means two things:
- I sound much cooler than I really am
- Everybody asks me for help when their computers break
The first is really only true in geek circles, but the second is true everywhere I go. I don't mind at all, and I love to help people. (I find most Open Source enthusiasts tend to have that mindset. It's quite refreshing) Hands down, the number one problem people come to me about is spyware. Most of the time, that's not the leading question, but it's almost always the root of a myriad of issues. Even if you're a pro, spyware is a pain in the butt to clean up.
One of the common suggestions my fellow geeks give people is to buy a Mac. The reason is that Macs generally "just work", and require very little maintenance (read: very few calls to friendly grandsons). I'm not personally anti-Mac, or even anti-Windows -- so the Apple suggestion is one that makes a lot of sense to me. They come pre-installed, have friendly phone support, and last a long, long time. But what if Granny already had a Dell that your dumb cousin Eddie convinced her to buy? Enter Linux.
Chances are, Granny's computer hardware is fine. Since Linux will run on anything from a toaster oven to a space station -- unless there's actual physical damage, the upgrade to Linux should cost nothing but some of your time. (And maybe some of Granny's cookies.) Here's a quick list of suggestions to make life easier on you both:
- Set up automatic login. Logging in is often a tough concept, I don't know why.
- Install things like Flash, Java, MP3 support, DVD support, video streaming plugins, and true type fonts.
- Put bookmarks on the browser's toolbar. Label them so Granny will understand.
- Make the taskbar/panel large
- Install Skype and/or instant messaging software, and preconfigure them so Granny can chat with you. You'll both love it. Again, automatic login.
- Configure system updates to run as automatically as possible.
- Standardize Granny's passwords. I know this is insecure, but I think it's worth it.
- Make sure Granny calls you with questions, not cousin Eddie.
- Remind Granny not to try buying software from Walmart, or online. Have her ask you first.
And now it's up to you. Please drop your suggestions for how to set up Granny's computer in the comment section below. If we work together, we can dominate the elderly desktops of the world in no time. :)
Shawn is Associate Editor here at Linux Journal, and has been around Linux since the beginning. He has a passion for open source, and he loves to teach. He also drinks too much coffee, which often shows in his writing.
I would like to recommend you
Hi I would like to recommend you very usefu ltorrent search engine - http://torrenttella.com/
You can find a lot of new movies, games and music there. Enjoy it!
At some point cousin Eddie or one of the many other relatives who know granny has a computer are going to generously buy her some wonderful piece of software.
And they're going to be very, very angry at you for 'breaking' her perfectly good Windows and replacing it with 'some crap that can't even run common programs like Microsoft Office and Photoshop'.
WINE is not an answer. It doesn't work well enough, or at all, with a hell of a lot of the software out there.
Good luck with that, I haven't found an answer yet. My In-laws still buy our kids Windows games every birthday and Christmas. They just do not seem to 'get' that we do not use windows here.
My In-laws still buy our
My In-laws still buy our kids Windows games every birthday and Christmas. They just do not seem to 'get' that we do not use windows here.
I do not understand this wholesale phenomenon of Operating System as ideological movement. It's an OS. I choose to use Linux but I don't force my family to stop being able to use Windows software, and the infinitely better selection of games.
Fortuntately grannies don't give a $#!+ about games
All this sounds reasonable to me. Granny wants to email and surf, nothing more.
Grandma Ready Linux
Here's my post on the topic:
I've been saying this for years!
I've taken this line for some time. Contrary to popular opinion an older user particularly with no Windows experience takes to Linux easier than a younger person with Windows (i.e. bad) experience.
See www.iredale.net/p/by-topic/unix/desktop for my articles and presentations on this topic.
Linux for grandmas
My mother-in-law (and grandmother of my kids) has been using Kubuntu on an IBM ThinkPad X30 for a couple years now. It's very simplified and locked down. Firefox for web (with very obvious bookmarks on the bookmarks bar), ThunderBird for mail, and VLC for watching web-based videos of her grandkids. Everything is set to auto-login for convenience.
The killer app (though not-libre) is Picasa for Linux, which installs (and self-updates) on Debian/Ubuntu the correct way (via apt). Picasa gives her the ability to suck the photos off her digi-cam, correct red-eye, and e-mail (appropriately auto-resized) photos to her friends and family. Though not quite iPhoto-easy, it works well enough for a somewhat tech phobic granny.
This has required zero trouble-shooting on my end, except for an occasional wi-fi failure (which is always related to DSL flakiness and not the wireless network itself). She's also "lost" her KMix applet a few times and so couldn't adjust volume until that was restored. Other than those minor blips, it's been really painless and quite a testament to the user-friendliness of the modern Linux desktop.
Secure the remote access
Make yourself an account.
Disable root ssh logins.
Disable password ssh logins and use public/private keys to get in with your account.
Now Granny can have bad passwords and she won't get cracked.
Note that to support Granny remotely one of you is going to need a real Internet account, one with a fixed IP. (Speakeasy has worked very well for me, YMMV.) Either that or you need some easy button she can press so she can read you her IP number off the screen. If you're the one with a fixed IP configure Granny's box so that when the interface comes up it brings up an OpenVPN connection into your network. Then you'll aways be able to get to Granny.
Sorry to be mentioning commercial entities in my posts. I am affiliated with none of them.
The other way to get Granny's external IP
Just have Granny surf to www.whatismyip.com and have her read it off the screen to you. Boom, you're in.
You forgot backups
You forgot backups. Always backup to a remote site. Keep multiple copies. The easy way is with some sort of rsync, preferably done from LVM snapshots. There's dirvish, rsyncbackup, or whatever. There's rarely reason why the entire box should not be backed up, because someday you will need to restore the whole thing. Raid is not a substitute for backup.
If, for some strange reason, you don't have the bandwidth then use an outside service like rsync.net. Granny shouldn't be changing her machine much, except when upgrades happen, so a lot of bandwidth is not necessary.
This does mean that Granny needs to leave the machine on, at least sometimes.
Rsnapshot is a great way to
Rsnapshot is a great way to keep backups and include a history over time. An external USB drive that holds an rsnapshot archive (with snapshots automatically initiated when the system has been idle for a few minutes or if more than 2-3 days have passed since the last backup) would be my choice.
It's not just for grannies
Great article. Don't forget the accessibility feature.
BTW, it's not just for grannies. It's for moms and kids too.
Once I moved all my kids and their mom to linux, with auto-login and nice accessible icons and menus (some kids even found beryl-compiz cool), my support time has been drastically reduced.
I had them hooked to firefox, thunderbird, and openoffice in windows before moving them to linux.
Some still require MS Word (dual-boot just for this) because that's what the school teaches and gives assignments on, but for most other tasks they use openoffice for presentation and spreadsheet just fine. Bibus, gimp, tellico, etc. complement their works.
If they have questions, fire up krfb and share their desktop to see what's up.
You say they still need MS Word?
Hmm...OpenOffice.org Writer handles the MS Word format just fine and has for years. Any reason why your kids cannot just use Writer and save in MS's format, instead of having to dual-boot like that?
Granny support
Good suggestions. Sounds a lot like what I did for my parents. I also made it possible for me to remotely access their computer. On the LILO screen I created an obviously named entry that boots to runlevel 2 where sshd is loaded. Really helps when you are living on different continents.
Granddaddies need Linux, too
Earlier this year, I set up my Dad, who is now a great-grandfather, with CentOS 5. Reason: seven years of bug fixes, and he's a few thousand miles away, so regular Ubuntu-ish or Fedora-ish reinstalls aren't an option. Had this been mid-to-late 2006, I would've chosen Kubuntu Dapper Drake LTS.
I did a whole lot of preconfiguring. Had to install all the multimedia codecs, *Adobe* Flash (sorry, Gnash just ain't ready yet--I wish!), and the kernel video driver to get acceleration and resizing. Also had to do a bunch of tweaks to get past the GNOME-isms of Red Hat distros (he runs KDE--it looks more "Windows-like"). Before, I had him on Windows NT, so he already understood the drill about logging in.
One other thing helped out a lot. A couple of years ago, I had already migrated him from MS Office and Outlook Express over to OpenOffice.org and Thunderbird (he *really* likes Thunderbird). Therefore, the only app I had to worry about was a Quicken 2003 replacement. KMyMoney turns out to fill the bill pretty darned nicely.
Kai Staats, CEO of Terra Soft Solutions (the Yellow Dog Linux folks), has a similar story involving his father. Turned out Mr. Staats needed exceedingly little hand-holding.
My Tips
I have OEMed Linux a lot, here are the common links I put on the desktop. Literally, the icons are named.
Write a Letter (Points to OO Writer, Abiword on one low powered machine)
Internet (links to FF)
Email (links to thunderbird)
Pre-Configure their Junk folder, show them how to mark things as Junk.
Listen to Music (Points to Amarok)
GRIP Pre-COnfigured to RIP into the default music folder of Amarok, all set up.
Pre-Configure any MP3 players in Amarok before I turn them loose
Watch a movie (Points to Kaffeine, as you said, with ALL codecs installed)
Get Pictures (points to digiKam, preconfigured with default pictures directory)
Look at Pictures (points to GQiew configured to start at top of picture folder, large icons, etc)
In GQView, right click will edit in default Picassa
I drag the ENTIRE games menu to the desktop
Chat with people (points to Pidgin, autologin)
I drag KDE Control Center to the desktop, leave it as Control Center
The above are the defaults. A few other items.
1) Show them where downloads from the web are defaulted, change if needed.
2) Remove the delete (if present) and leave the "move to trash". Everyone understands the trash can concept.
3) I demonstrate how to find and install software (if savvy, otherwise, I tell them to call me).
4) Enable Mouse Over Previews of everything, including MP3s.
5) Pre-Configure ANY hardware they use, if required, as SANE to the desktop, etc.
6) Change KDE so that unmounted CD/DVDs icons remain on desktop, make sure that all removable drives/devices show up on desktop when mounted (automount). For some reason, even when no CD/DVD there, having the icon is re-assuring.
After the above, 10-20 minutes watching and helping them, they are on their way, very litle support needed.
I was looking for a checklist of everything Linux does not include when you first install it, and here it is. Kudos!
Depends on the Distro
Some distros, like Linux Mint I believe, come with a lot of these things available out of the box as it were. I don't know about PCLinuxOS but I think they lean towards this philosophy as well.
(disclaimer: I haven't installed either of those distros because I actually prefer to install that stuff myself)
Good list regardless though!

EDINBORO, Pa. (Oct. 31, 2009) – The final prelude to the 2009-10 season took place on Saturday, October 31 as the Edinboro wrestling team held its annual Wrestleoffs. The Fighting Scots officially get underway on Saturday, November 7 competing in the EMU Open, hosted by Eastern Michigan University in Ypsilanti, MI.
"The wrestleoffs went well," related head coach Tim Flynn. "We have lots to work on now that we have seen the guys compete to prepare for next weekend."
Flynn knew going in that the biggest question mark was who would get the nod at 157 lbs. to replace four-time All-American Gregor Gillespie. If the wrestleoffs are any indication, he may still not know, although it is a good problem to have.
A pair of highly-regarded freshmen worked their way through the five-man field to meet in the finals. John Greisheimer, a two-time New York state champion while competing at Wantagh High School, and Matt Laird (above), from nearby Linesville High School and a two-time PIAA state medalist, met in the final, with Laird posting a minor upset with a takedown in overtime to win 7-5.
"We have two good young kids at 157 lbs.," Flynn commented. "One will redshirt and one will wrestle. Both are going to be really good."
The most interesting match of the wrestleoffs took place at 184 lbs., where a pair of two-time national qualifiers paired off. Junior Chris Honeycutt, who is redshirting this year, paired off against senior Pat Bradshaw (right), the starter the last two years at 197 lbs., but now dropping down to 184. Bradshaw posted a 5-1 decision.
"The 184 lb. match was a great match between twio of the best kids in the country at that weight," Flynn pointed out. "Pat's at a more natural weight. People will be impressed with him this year."
Here's a breakdown of how the finals went at each weight class.
125 lbs. Eric Morrill maj. dec. Shawn Giblin, 15-3
133 lbs. Kyle Fluke dec. Ashton Osterberg, 3-1
141 lbs. Joel Webster fall over Jon-Marc Burdick, 4:05

Top Five NBN practical applications
As more and more areas get connected to the NBN, we are seeing new movements and developments in many communities that aren't directly related to internet use. Disparate fields such as advanced healthcare services, education, coastal and rural living have found solid support from NBN. Powered by high speed and reliable broadband services, improvement of these fields, facilities, and services other than common internet use are becoming more common. These are just some of the after effects and benefits of an expanded, interconnected National Broadband Network.
The effects of having fast and steady broadband services are becoming integrated with the urban as well as regional and rural lifestyles. What are some of these specific fields and activities that are getting a huge boost from NBN? There are many and more to come, but just these five main new ones are sure to improve the quality of life in many new NBN roll out communities, whether they're urban, rural, regional, or even isolated parts of Australia.
Going Wireless
With more areas getting covered under wireless services, we are seeing a boom for broadband connectivity in remote areas. This has been made possible with the further expansion of Fixed Wireless and Satellite NBN formats, through the recently launched Sky Muster programs and rollout campaign.
The increase of wireless NBN coverage parallels a boom for wireless mobile devices and users, offering an alternative format for common wired connections. There is also a parallel boom for the wireless industry with increased sales and more wireless activity nationwide.
Tasmania is the most recent region to receive Fixed Wireless NBN facilities, offering fast and reliable broadband internet with an ever increasing coverage area as the roll out continues. According to media centre reports on NBNco.com.au, 31,327 premises are now engaged in the wireless network, with more than 100 transmission towers currently operating with the intent of adding more for future expansion.
Atherton Tablelands is another area inching its way up to the NBN wireless area ranks. In another report as of late January 2016, 24 fixed wireless NBN facilities were confirmed operational, claiming 4,600 residences and businesses that cover and span across Tablelands, and also Mareeba and Cairns territories. More connections have been processed since.
E-change is a movement that involves moving to rural and regional areas, with accompanying green and sustainable lifestyle changes. It also aims more practical approaches to living, such as working at home, less commuting, less urban pollution and stress, less noise pollution, natural surroundings, lower cost of living, cleaner air, and greener living and lifestyles. It also definitely includes being connected properly to broadband internet.
What better time for this movement than now, with the current expansion and rollout of NBN services, particularly Fixed Wireless NBN to fulfill that last part. Now, the same level, speed, and reliability of fibre optics broadband can be enjoyed even in these distant locations. This will enable rural and regional citizens practicing E-change the same facilities and capabilities in these non-urban locations.
Typically, what's keeping people from totally making this decision to move and go regional is the lack of connectivity and reliable telecommunications. But this is about to change as the expansion we are currently experiencing is going to take care of getting connected, as they are about to have the same facilities afforded as all connected urban areas.
Advanced Health Services
Advances in medical technology and personal health have been seen most recently in many smartphone apps and smart watch features and functions. With NBN becoming more widespread and available, it will help boost this industry to provide one-step direct healthcare using apps and devices that are not only faster, convenient, and more accurate, but also powered by NBN.
With the ongoing expansion of NBN, the same goes for better and more reliable installations of other similar devices such as medical alarms, monitors, and auto-diallers. This is crucial for people who need to have online and on-demand alarm facilities always present due to their medical conditions.
Better facilities for tele-health services can also be expected with better connectivity and reception. This will allow doctor and patient consultations by remote video conference, in cases where distance and time may be a key issue or detriment. Getting the NBN behind advanced health services will save patients on time and less expenses, and help improve medical services across rural and regional areas as well.
Fire/Lift alarms
Emergency services will be given an extra boost as older fire and emergency Lift Phones are to be transferred over to the NBN. Key issues of concern such as reliability, connectivity, and fast response mechanisms in times of emergencies and life-threatening situations will be eliminated. This will see across the board advancement for other lines of communication, apart from the usual standard phones, wireless mobile devices, VOIP and video chat facilities. It is essential to include emergency devices to the network and to provide a reliable network to help whenever there are any drastic situations at hand.
Educational Applications of NBN / Fibre
There are now many opportunities for long distance education and learning on your own time and pace, and conveniently, thanks to NBN and Fibre broadband. The same conveniences and principles of Internet TV and apps are easily translated to an educational application with fewer limits. Through high speed broadband and telecommunications, a more personal, customised form of education has closed in on the distance and time restraints between students and teachers.
There are no more issues to tackle as far as distance, differing time zones, unavailability of people, or lack of physical facilities to limit education. The device becomes the e-classroom, with the curriculum available anytime, with more convenience and flexibility to all distant, unscheduled, or physically challenged students. These factors no longer have to limit and inhibit students of all ages and types from receiving direct training, education, and testing.

Poll: what do you think of Bixby so far?
Samsung's voice assistant, Bixby, was meant to launch alongside the Samsung Galaxy S8 flagship in April, but it took a full three months until the voice features rolled out onto users' devices. While this has surely set public opinion about Bixby back, we want to know what you think of it now that you've had a full month to test drive the voice control features.
On June 19, Samsung began the rollout of Bixby Voice over the air to all Galaxy S8 and S8+ devices in the United States. Beforehand, only a limited number of people were given the chance to try it as beta testers. Now that the general public has had the opportunity to give it a go, we want to know what you think of Bixby.
While certain of its basic features, like reminders, can be done by Google Assistant, it differentiates itself by being able to open apps and perform actions in them. How well it does any of this, including understanding English, is up for debate.
We want to know about your experiences with Bixby so far. Tell us your stories in the comments.
Where to buy Samsung Galaxy S8+Best price

It's pointless... Doesn't do what it's supposed too.
one word? rubbish.
How long did you try it for?
Wouldn't now as we are still waiting for it in Canada. I'll let you know in a year!
Just soso
What was good/bad about it?
Got so feed up with it not working,that I have never tried it out yet,you should not put things on any phone that does not work straight away, I bet loads will have not used it
Did you read your comment? "Got so feed up with it not working,that I have never tried it out yet" Which one is it? Did you try it or not??
Who wishes they could remap the Bixby hardware button on their S8/S8+?
Not me.
Not me either. Samsung is continually updating Bixby and making it better. This is only the first iteration of Bixby so it's playing catch-up to Google Assistant but I expect that to change in time.

Re: Simultaneous Yawning
On Wednesday, we theorized that perhaps simultaneous yawning was a rather Rare Cute Phenomenon, and a potential New Rule Candidate. Apparently this is not so. Please see email from Marita below for reference. C.O. regrets this error and apologizes for any inconvenience our post may have caused. -Us
"Simultaneous yawning: not as rare as you believe 🙂
For proof see attached picture. (Showing my cat Princess and her brother Moppi (he went over the Rainbow Bridge last year but will remain in my heart forever.) And Tommy who is resistant to contagious yawning.)" -Marita.
In the Friday post mentioning Rule Of Cuteness #1: Putting A Paw Up Is Cute, we forgot to add this shot of Tenzing The Red Panda at the SF Zoo. C.O. regrets the omission. Photo by The Furrtographer.
So, in one of our recent stories, we got this comment:
Everybody deserves to see Makenna? Absolutely correct. We apologize for the delay in getting this Cute out to you.
Ya know, we totally overlooked the International Owl Festival, held this past weekend in Houston, Minnesota. (Yes, Virginia, there is a Houston, Minnesota.) To make up for that we offer you this Little Owl Dudelet and his apple lookalike.

It's hard to go far in Ferguson without encountering a church or three. Near the now famous Ferguson market, there are 10 churches less than a 10-minute drive away. And as demonstrators take to the streets demanding police investigate the death of Michael Brown, it's hard not to hear how religion is fast becoming a part of the main narrative. Faith communities have long spearheaded social activism and the civil rights movement throughout the united states, and Ferguson is no different.
There are more than 25 listed churches in the small suburb with a population of roughly 21,000 people. Census data show 57 percent of people in St. Louis identify themselves with a religious congregation, a rate 7 percent above the national average.
Another important and widely-publicized statistic is that 69 percent of the population is black.
"The African-American community historically has been very faith-based," said Judy Ferguson Shaw, 64, who has lived in Ferguson for the past 54 years. She emphasized that, especially in Ferguson, church congregations are very tight-knit and are are highly influential.
"The church has a history of spurring social change," said the Rev. Lynn Mims, who has served as a pastor at Barak Christian Church in Ferguson for the past 15 years. He also walked along the march, and joined the crowd to hear Rev. Jesse Jackson's remarks afterward. Mims said since Brown was killed, he and other pastors have provided counseling and advice to members of their congregation, and some important introductions to the youth leading the protest movement.
"We have a lot of connections and experience," he said, adding they work with many secular groups to ensure things run smoothly. But Mims added faith-based groups can offer something a little different this time around, explaining he and other religious leaders were happy to help, but hope the Brown protest movement will be led by the city's youth.
"We don't need to be the leaders, but we need to be the fire," he said.

"Cast down, not destroyed!" -- Trinity Mt. Carmel Baptist Church, Florissant/Ferguson, Missouri, Sunday morning service, August 18, 2014
By Alan Blinder & Tanzina Vega:
As Sunday drew on, pastors, the police and civil rights figures joined parishioners in churches, all trying to tamp down the anger that has followed the fatal shooting of an 18-year-old unarmed black man.
In a packed sanctuary at Greater Grace Church, not far from the site of evening demonstrations, Captain Ronald S. Johnson, the Missouri State Highway Patrol captain brought in by the governor to take over security here, spoke with the cadence of a preacher as he apologized to the family of the teenager, Michael Brown. "My heart goes out to you, and I say that I'm sorry," Captain Johnson said. "I wear this uniform, and I should stand up here and say that I'm sorry."
Before a mostly black audience, Captain Johnson, who is African-American, spoke of his own "black son, who wears his pants saggy, wears his hat cocked to the side and has tattoos on his arms." He added, "That's my baby."
"Michael's going to make it better for our sons so they can be better black men," he said, predicting that the treatment of black youths here would somehow change. "We need to pray. We need to thank Michael for his life. And we need to thank him for the change that he is going to make"
Time and again, he won applause. …
In churches here, the calls for calm continued.
At the Greater St. Mark Family Church in Ferguson, the state attorney general, Chris Koster, said he came to pray and grieve with the mostly African American parishioners. "You have lost a member of your community at the hands of a member of my community," he said. "Not just the Caucasian community, but the law enforcement community. And that is painful to every good-hearted person in this city."
He said he feared that the armored vehicle the police used on West Florissant Avenue, the scene of daily demonstrations since Mr. Brown was killed, was a symbol of the armor that had grown between the black community and law enforcement.
"This week is a 50-year flood of anger that has broken loose in this city the likes of which we have not seen since Dr. King was killed," he said, referring to the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. "And I am sorry that I have not done more from the law enforcement community to break down that wall of anger, that wall of armor."
At the Sunday morning service at New Jerusalem Missionary Baptist Church here, about 40 people gathered. On a screen hanging above the pulpit, Jaquan Vassel, 24, the church deacon, played a video that he had seen the night before on his Facebook news feed. In it, two black men were reading from the book of Psalms during a protest on West Florissant Avenue. "I commend them for trying to look to God," Mr. Vassel told the congregants, "but you hear the anger in their voices."
"They are angry at the police officers," he added. "We have to show them how to forgive, just like God forgave us."
Forgiveness was also emphasized by Alonso Adams Jr., the assistant pastor of the church, who spoke after Mr. Vassel. "How many of us have killed people with our lips?" he asked. "How many brothers and sisters, white or black, have we defamed with our words?" Mr. Adams acknowledged the anger toward the police, in particular toward Officer Wilson. But, the pastor added, "If he came into this church this morning and asked Jerusalem to forgive him, how many of you would offer up your arms?" And later at Greater Grace Church, where cars were lined up for at least a mile, the Rev. Al Sharpton called the killing of Mr. Brown "a defining moment on how this country deals with policing and the rights of its citizens to address how police behave in this country."
Mr. Sharpton recalled Marlene Pinnock, a black woman who was assaulted by an officer in Los Angeles this summer; Eric Garner, a black man in Staten Island who was put in a chokehold by an officer and who later died; and the death of Mr. Brown, saying: "We have had enough."
Mr. Sharpton admonished the crowd not to loot in Mr. Brown's name. "We are not looters," he said. "We are liberators."

By Emily Wax-Thibodeaux and DeNeen Brown:
They came in numbers that surprised even the reverend, arriving in a muggy drizzle to a church parking lot so full that they had to park in front of the empty home of the man they came to pray for: embattled white police officer Darren Wilson.
They were scared, they said. Fearful they would be attacked by rioters in their church since Southminster Presbyterian sits right behind the suburban home of Wilson, the patrolman identified in the Aug. 9 shooting of the black unarmed teenager Michael Brown.
The Rev. Dr. Kurt J. Calkins wanted to be a part of that conversation. He wanted to help people feel safe. He had even readied the church's gym and multi-purpose room — The Christian Life Center — in case there needed to be evacuations.
"Everyone is worried. It's best to be vigilant," he said. "But we also have to have faith, we have to be good Christians and pray that things will be okay." …
Nearly 20 miles north in Ferguson, the site of the shooting and civil unrest that's followed, the congregation at Greater St. Mark Family Church didn't speak of fear, but of mourning and their prayers for Brown's family.
"I feel for the family," said Linell Green, 44, a business analyst who lives in Bellefontaine. "It's a shame they've not been able to funeralize their son. The family hasn't had access to the body because of different autopsies." The church had been the first to open its doors to the family. ..
The Rev. Al Sharpton arrived to cheering and told the congregation that the country, the state and the city were at a defining moment in terms of how it handles policing.
Three gospel "praise dancers" in white danced as the church prayed fervently for Ferguson.
"God, we ask you to dispatch your prayer angels all over Ferguson," said Topaz Bryant, 17, a volunteer with Sharpton's national action network. She had traveled from Atlanta to join peaceful protests. "Even though we don't understand, God, we thank you for dispatching peace right now." …
At Greater St. Mark, state Attorney General Chris Koster had come to talk about the future, and to pray and grieve with the congregation.
"You have lost a member of your community, but it is much more than that," Koster said from the pulpit. "I come not just as a member of the Caucasian community but as a member of the law-enforcement community. What happened is painful for every goodhearted person in this city."
Koster told the congregation that the community is not a stranger to violence.
"More than 100 African Americans lose their lives every year," he said. "That is one every three days."
He said he feared that the divide in Ferguson would only grow as a result of the shooting.
"This week, a 50-year flood of anger has broken loose in this city, the likes of which we have not seen since Dr. [Martin Luther] King was killed. All of us are searching our souls to break down this wall of armor."

On the fourth morning after Michael Brown's death, residents from different parts of the region came together in Ferguson, trying to pick up the pieces.
Some were young, some old. The majority arrived as part of the faithful. Others trickled in after spotting volunteers marching up and down West Florissant under the hot sun. Carrying brooms and large garbage bags, they collected whatever they could find: rubber bullets, broken glass, liquor bottles, tear gas grenades.
"I needed to come out today just to get some stability," said Gary Park, 34, an auto mechanic who lives near the area in Ferguson where Brown was shot and protests erupted. Close by is the looted and burned QuikTrip that sits as a symbol of the severity of the unrest that has resulted from an unnamed cop fatally shooting an unarmed 18-year-old.
Park is a member of Passage Community Church in Florissant, which together with a few other local congregations, organized the Wednesday morning cleanup. Pastor Joe Costephens said that although the trash-collecting effort was a last-minute plan, more than 100 people joined the endeavor.
Elise Park, 31, a stay-at-home mom, arrived with her two young children who were excited by the novelty of using garbage pickers.
"I was very encouraged coming out here today, seeing all the groups helping," Park said. "It's an opportunity for me to invest and really become part of the community."
Another volunteer, Derrick Spencer of St. Louis, said in an attempt to inspire compassion, he planned to return a sign to his truck's windshield that recites a line from the New Testament: "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing."
"We can't take justice into our own hands," Spencer said. Those who loot businesses are doing so at the expense of Michael Brown, he said.
After working for two hours, nearly 20 people gathered in the parking lot of First Baptist Church in Ferguson and held hands in prayer. They prayed for the family of Michael Brown and for businesses in the area that have been damaged by the riots.
Michael Williams of St. Louis, who described himself as a troubled individual who had managed to reset his life, was among those in the crowd. He said he wanted to show that "everybody is not about the rioting. Everybody is not about the destruction." …

In its summary of the unfolding violence, Episcopal Café reported on a meeting and prayer service held Tuesday night by an interfaith clergy coalition. Church leaders and local officials gathered to address the protest and to reflect on how to offer comfort to the parents of young black men.
The Rev. Mike Angell wrote a blog for the Episcopal Young Adult and Campus Ministries website, reporting on his experience at the event. He noted that law enforcement and political leaders shared facts and figures about Ferguson's results on racial profiling surveys.
But Angell wrote that the most powerful part of the gathering was black families sharing their fear for their children. He asked his readers to imagine a brighter future for Ferguson and for America, to envision a country where racial tensions no longer erupt into violence.
"Christians believe that all of our stories are caught up in The Story. We believe in a Gospel of love and redemption that is the final story for all people. We can't afford to write out any characters. How can we be a part of writing a new story for our country, a story that sees the death of Michael Brown as a turning point for hope and trust?" Angell wrote. …

The Rev. Teresa Mithen-Danieley gambled "there probably wouldn't be tear gas" and took her two-year-old daughter Ruby Frances with her to the Aug. 14 march in Ferguson, Missouri, to begin to rebuild community trust after the Aug. 9 fatal police shooting of an unarmed black teenager and its violent aftermath.
Along with Missouri Bishop Wayne Smith, she and other Episcopalians joined at least 1,000 other clergy, public officials, residents and supporters in the nearly two-mile march in Ferguson with clergy positioned on the perimeters and ends, according to Mithen-Danieley.
While traveling to Ferguson from Christ Church Cathedral in St. Louis for the Aug. 14 march Smith said: "I passed by Calvary Cemetery, where Dred Scott is buried, and I thought of that long and painful history that we've had with race relations here in St. Louis city and county."
A slave, Dred Scott sued to gain his freedom in a landmark case that eventually reached the U.S. Supreme Court. In 1857, the court ruled that because Scott was black, he was not a citizen and therefore had no right to sue.
Smith said that he joined the march at the invitation of the St. Louis Metropolitan Clergy Coalition "a predominantly African American organization. We sent out email notification to clergy and laity and I really was heartened by the strong support," he said.
"That's been the biggest shock, the biggest surprise, the police response," said Lawler, rector of St. Stephen's Episcopal Church (http://www.saint-stephens.info) in Ferguson. "It's really been intense, and it seems like it's accelerated rather than decelerated the figuring out how to get folks back to working together."

Building a movement requires finding others who have a desire for the same change that you want (even if they don't know it yet!) Here are some 'first step' ideas:
- Set up an information table at your local farmer's market, community pool or park.
- Make an appointment with your city council, county commissioners, state legislators and congressional members. It's easier than you think and they want to hear ideas and concerns from constituents.
- Invite family and friends to watch a video or send them current information about an issue. We've got tools, videos and a format you can use.
- Tell us what you think – on paper, email or leave us a voice message.
- Add us to your Facebook page or your website.
- Ask questions. Whenever you have the chance ask your legislator, ask the newspaper, ask the radio and tv reporters. Your questions might spur the next discussion.
Current ideas – (something has to be added here that's current and updated…)
Options for information:
1) Still trying to learn the lingo? Check out this set of resources to help keep you in the loop.
2) Check out the calendar of upcoming events. Pick one (or two!) and get involved with others who are learning and taking action.
2) If there is something else you want to know about send us a question here.

Kate Winslet and husband Ned Rocknroll welcomed their first child together on December 9 at a hospital in London. The couple, who married in December 2012, announced in June that they were expecting a baby in June. A spokesperson for the actress said that she is "doing great." The baby's name has yet to be revealed, but with a last name like Rocknroll (which is self-chosen; he was born Abel Smith), we're sure it'll be unique!
Winslet, who was previously married to Skyfall director Sam Mendes, already has two children: Mia, 12, and Joe, 9. Earlier this year, she said that her children have "always been with me. They don't go from pillar to post; they're not flown here and there with nannies. That's never happened. My kids don't go back and forth; none of this 50/50 time with the moms and dads—my children live with me; that is it. That is it! People go, 'Oh, my God! Those poor children! They must have gone through so much'. Says who?" Sounds like Winslet and Rocknroll son is in great hands.

You can skip some of the starting missions in hero mode. First, turn on the turbo jetboard secret. Then, use the jetboard to jump from island to island by executing the L1 high jump and a forward flip.
Unlimited/Easy Precursor Orbs
Go to any oracle statue and trade metal head skull gems to start an orb search challenge. Go to the orb and wait for the clock to turn to 00:00. Even though it says 00:00, it takes another second for the time to run out (I.E. 00:00 is really 00:00.100) So wait one more second, and then press Square to dash at the orb as soon as time runs out and the mission failed screen comes up. You will get 3 orbs, and be able to retry!

Traffic unit breakup a bad idea, Spa officers say
Saratoga Springs PBA says change will lead to more unsafe driving
Published 11:06 pm, Friday, January 4, 2013
SARATOGA SPRINGS — City police officers predicted a decision by police department leaders that breaks up the decades-old Traffic Safety Unit will result in fewer traffic tickets and "an increase in unsafe driving."
Police Chief Christopher Cole reassigned three of the traffic unit's four officers to beat-patrol work effective Saturday due to what he says is a manpower shortage in the department and a desire to save on overtime costs. Public Safety Commissioner Chris Mathiesen signed off on the change.
Members of the Saratoga Springs Protective and Benevolent Association unsuccessfully lobbied to keep the unit intact. In a rare statement, issued Wednesday, the department's 53-member union said the change virtually abolishes the traffic unit and will "have a direct impact on the safety of the motoring public."
"The PBA does not dispute that the police department is in the midst of a staffing shortage, but the PBA does not want to see service and safety suffer when there are other options available to maintain the high level of service that our fellow residents have come to expect," the union's statement says.
On Friday, Cole disagreed, saying Sgt. Andrew Prestigiacomo would remain in the unit, assisted by the 42 members in the department's Patrol Division. Cole said he transferred patrolmen Tom Sartin, Dan Mullan Jr. and Travis Carter based on the needs of the community and department.
"I have a budget we have to deal with, and obviously overtime is a big issue every year," Cole said.
Increasing the pool of patrol officers will lessen the likelihood of having to call a senior officer in on overtime, the chief said. He would not provide an estimate on how much the city could save, saying it depended on several factors, mostly how much time off officers take.
The coverage dispute is the second dust-up over police staffing in the city recently.
Saratoga Arts canceled First Night Saratoga's midnight fireworks display on New Year's Eve after Mathiesen told them the department couldn't simultaneously police the bar district and the Congress Park area.
After an outcry, donations paid for a fence to block access to the park and part-time police security.
The city's police force has 54 full-time, active members, down from 72 members in 2009 due to retirements, layoffs, injuries and resignations, according to the public safety department.
Four police officers are out injured. There are two incoming recruits.
The PBA recommended keeping the Traffic Safety Unit together while integrating the department's incoming officers into patrol work, PBA President Paul Veitch said. Cole said he will look at where the need is after the new officers undergo mandatory training.
Carter is vice president of the PBA; Sartin is treasurer and Prestigiacomo is recording secretary.
Cole said Prestigiacomo and shift supervisors would call in requests for traffic enforcement, and the responsibilities of road safety would be more evenly shared. He conceded fewer vehicle inspections would be done, but said the state Department of Transportation would continue to help conduct those checks in the city.
"We made a decision based on the priorities we have now," Cole said.

Classical Instrumental
The Classical Instrumental program offers extensive training to intermediate and advanced instrumental students in Piano, Winds, and Strings. Instruction will focus on areas such as exploration of standard repertoire, chamber music, theory, musicianship (sight reading and ear training) as well as scales, etude, and accompaniment.
Audition Expectations: Students will need to prepare to perform two *contrasting pieces from memory such as a movement of a sonata, sonatina, concerto, etude, and demonstrate skills in major/minor scales and sight reading music.
"Contrasting" refers to two different time periods (Baroque, Classical, Romantic, Impressionistic, Contemporary). In order to show different types of skills (technical/musical etc.), students may choose one of the pieces to be fast and the other slow, but that is not a requirement and it is not always meant with "contrasting." One cannot play two pieces by the same composer and two movements of the same piece.
Students currently in 6-11th grades are eligible to apply.

I've accidentally "liked" a couple of my own posts and want to unlike them. I've read the forums and found how to do this, but it seems that maybe there's something wrong with that portion of the website? I go to: http://wordpress.com/#likes, then I see a window with a small "w" spinning in the center - it never seems to finish loading that window.
I'm guessing that inside that window is where I unlike these posts, but I never see what's in there.
Any suggestions?

For a while there, I was wondering if Darren Austin and his son Tyler Austin had smoked one joint too many.
On Jan. 1, a new law went into effect in Colorado: Residents of the state and those visiting from other states can now buy marijuana for other than medical reasons.
That means lifelong potheads can buy marijuana in Colorado just for the purpose of getting stoned.
News stories about the lines of people that queued up — in inclement weather — waiting to buy pot abounded. One story was about a father and son who drove their truck from Georgia to Colorado so they could buy pot legally.
"Out of their darned minds," I thought, but, figuring there might be more to the story, I did some Googling.
Darren Austin is the dad. He's 44 years old. Tyler, the son, is 21.
A New York Times story says one of the Austins drove from Georgia to Colorado and the other from North Carolina to Colorado "a few months ago ... and decided to stay."
Yet another news story said both Austins drove from either Decatur or Augusta, Ga., to Colorado.
Whenever they got there — and where in Georgia they drove from — is up for debate. The bottom line is that both Austins were in Colorado on Jan. 1, ready and eager to talk to the media.
It's a good thing they did, because I suspect quite a few folks were wondering if they'd lost their darned minds.
I did some more Googling. The distance from Georgia to Colorado is 1,625 miles. The drive takes 23 hours, 49 minutes.
Out-of-state visitors to Colorado can buy only a quarter-ounce of marijuana.
So here's what some — perhaps many — people were thinking about the Austins: two clueless potheads decide to drive nearly 2,000 miles to buy a quarter ounce of marijuana each, that they can't transport across state lines back to Georgia.
It was Darren Austin, more so than Tyler, who cleared up why they had made the long drive. And Daddy Austin swears it was about more than the pot.
"It's a historical event," Darren Austin said of being able to legally buy marijuana in Colorado. "Everyone should be here. This is going to be a turning point in the drug war, a beginning of the peace."
Maybe it will, maybe it won't. But I'm as soured on the "War on Drugs" as Darren Austin is. (Yes, I'm afraid I'm one of those types of conservatives.)
What drove the nail in the coffin for me about the "War on Drugs" was an incident that occurred in Prince George's County back in 2008. Some readers might recall it.
Cheye Calvo was the mayor of Berwyn Heights, Md. One summer day, a county SWAT team kicked in the door of his home, fatally shot the family's two black Labrador retrievers and forced Calvo and his terrified mother-in-law to lie flat on the floor.
Yes, it was a drug raid, but subsequent investigation revealed that the Calvos had nothing to do with the package of marijuana that had been mailed to their home.
It transpired that the parties responsible for the criminality had a scheme going: One would mail packages of drugs to a certain address, and another would retrieve it.
What was in the package that was sent to the Calvos' home with neither their knowledge nor consent? You guessed it: marijuana.
I concluded then that the "War on Drugs" had become downright ludicrous. The mayor of a town and his mother-in-law terrorized not by criminals, but by law enforcement. Their two dogs shot dead.
All this to keep a package of marijuana off the streets.
Here's what's so absurd about the Calvo case: Everybody in Berwyn Heights, in Prince George's County, in the state of Maryland and, indeed, in the entire nation who wanted to smoke a joint that night, smoked a joint that night!
I wouldn't drive around the block to commemorate the legalization of pot, much less drive nearly 2,000 miles. But I'll be downright giddy if what happened to the Calvos never happens to another citizen of the United States.

Council workers across Northamptonshire have voted for strike action next month in a row over pay increases.
Unison regional organiser in Northamptonshire, Gary Looker, said the decision sent a clear message about his members' views on the proposed one percent rise.
"This year's local government pay offer of one percent is the last straw.
"After three consecutive years of pay freezes, followed by a below-inflation rise in 2013, this final offer has pushed staff to the edge.
"Schools staff and council workers pay' is now worth almost 20 percent less since the Government came into power.
"A total of 58.7% of UNISON members voted to take action. These members provide essential services to their communities. They regularly give extra and go further to help the people they serve despite services being cut back, staff being made redundant, and staff terms and conditions being stripped back.
"After all these years these hard-pressed staff deserve a decent pay rise. They do the best for us we should do the best by them," he added.
Similar ballots are being carried out with members of UNITE and GMB and the results will be known at the end of the month.
Strike action by Unison will take place on July 10.

The main purpose of Funny Friday is to provide GreenBeanBuddy's customers some entertainment after long days of working.
Dallas, TX (PRWEB) September 14, 2012
Funny Friday has just been updated. GreenBeanBuddy just recently added a post to it with a number of the most hilarious Photoshop disasters it found on the web.
As part of its entertainment section, Funny Friday is basically GreenBeanBuddy's version of a comedy show. Through it, the website entertains its readers with funny videos and images that it could share. The funny clips and graphics it adds are generally about anything. However, every week, it picks a theme for it as a unifying element.
For this week, the website chose "Photoshop Fails" as its central element. It searched the World Wide Web for funny Photoshopped images and added 20 of them to its funny post update.
Check Out the 20 Hilarious Photoshop Fails
The main purpose of Funny Friday is to provide GreenBeanBuddy's customers some entertainment after long days of working. It is specifically to give them moments to lighten up and laugh.
But as the term for the said section clearly indicates, the website only posts it every Friday. That's because apart from providing its readers entertainment, the posts also serve as the site's way of wishing them a great weekend.
However, any other day, GreenBeanBuddy posts articles of useful information in various topics. Primarily, the site relates news in entertainment, sports, technology, politics and business. If it's not doing that, it shares guidelines and tips for home and self improvement. Particularly, those are about starting a business and simple do-it-yourself projects.

Thread: Deadliest Warrior - Season 2

Deadliest Warrior is a guilty pleasure of mine. All larping and D&D style combat programming aside, is there anyone who doesn't pop a semi when they see a claymore chop off three artificial heads in one swing?

I was done with this show when they chose William Wallace to win over Shaka Zulu.

Mother was watching it last night.
"Oh look, Michael" she said from the lounge as I poured myself a glass of mil...err beer.
"Your into this kind of thing."
I walk into the livingroom and see four men getting way to excited about who would win, a Pirate or a Knight. I exsplained to her how pirates in general where terrible swordsmen, and in a one on one fight, a mounted knight would **** a pirate up.
The show truley was tragic.

I know what I like. That isn't it.
Their warrior types seems to be categorized into a few categories (light and mobile, heavy and powerful, presicion, etc.). If you can accept the premise that the computer simulation isn't total crap (it is), then you could set it up like an elimination tournament, and come up with 'The Deadliest Warrior'. But no.
Obviously there would have to be a modern age version separated out. Otherwise it would just be even more of a laugh (Green Beret vs. Pirate would be funny).Originally Posted by pauli

text: I have several different types of Echo weed whips. And lately I have noticed the high torque one to be getting really hot. It gets really hot where the motor meets the shaft. I have run through some of the general maintenance but I can't figure out why it would be getting so hot right there. It gets to the point that if I run it for a few lawns it will start to burn my arm. The motor it self runs fine, it cuts fine, and everything else is great excepts for the burning of my arm which I am afraid could lead to it just burning out. Please any advice. I will go get the official name and numbers of it and repost. Thanks!
