Dallas Woman Births Twins Fathered By Different Men
Well here's a story sure to give pause to any father of twins who's ever heard anyone utter the words, "Gee, your kids don't look very much alike at all!"
Seems that some Dallas woman named Mia Washington was fucking around on her husband, then she gave birth to twin boys, and she just happened to notice that the two kids looked nothing alike, so she went to the doctor, which, in retrospect, may have been a bit of a mistake. Reports Fox News:
Paternity tests then revealed what had happened - two eggs had been fertilized by two different sperm and there was a 99.99% chance the twins had different dads.
Doctors at the DNA lab in Dallas, Texas had never seen such a result.
(Mia) Washington later admitted she had had an affair and got pregnant by two different men at the same time.
Well ain't that some shitty-ass luck?! Apparently this sort of happening is quite rare, but entirely possible! They even have a term for it—-"heteropaternal superfecundation."
Now the burning question in all of this is how in God's name has the entertainment business not yet built some sort of story around this "condition?" It sounds like a perfect plot for an Horton Foote play! Better yet, somebody get NBC's Fratboy King Ben Silverman on the phone stat, because this has got "hit reality show" written all over it.

Granny's Salmon Croquettes
Salmon croquettes dunked in ketchup with a side of hot, buttered rice were my all-time favorite meal growing up. Luckily for me, my mom made them frequently using the simple but tasty recipe HER mother followed when my mom was growing up.

A wooden crate containing 34 boxes of glass and nitrate
negatives was shipped from an unknown source to the Museum in
1985. The crate indicated a date of 1907, but paper found
inside the crate was dated 1870. The images are of a trip taken to
China and Japan, photographer unknown. Most intriguing is an
image of prisoners being transported by police who have tied the
prisoners braids together to prevent escape.

The Rubik's Cube-sized $99 Ouya game console is supposed to come out in March 2013. We thought you'd only be able to get it in silver, but, no, there's a darker option.
Today, the Ouya folks have revealed a special edition version of the console. You'll have to donate $140 to their Kickstarter to get this Limited Edition one (like they need more money! Their roughly 47,000 backers have already pledged $6,000,000).
The controller's face buttons have also been re-labelled on the regular and Limited Edition controller, by popular demand, the Ouya folks say.
The buttons used to be labelled this way.

text: I want to thank everyone for the suggestions. First, one problem was that some nodes did not have the fftw libraries in their ld.so.config which caused them to fail and not output a result. I corrected that. Now I get two different behaviors when I run my application: 1) Locking activated. Every node except the master node writes properly to the file. If I take out the master node out of the possible choices, everything works fine. I am not sure what is up with the master node. It should be exactly like the others, except it has two ethernet cards. Once in a while, I see another node fail to write out. 2) Locking not activated, just seek and write. Master node can now write properly, but now I get random drops from other nodes. Not the same node. Some runs show no drops. I might go with your option, about cating the files together at the end. I decided against using a lock file. Although, I send out jobs sequentially, they won't finished squentially, which will delay some nodes getting another job if they finish early.

You Have Reached Heaven
I approached the gate. "Tickets, please," said the Gatekeeper.
"Sorry sir, tickets, for heaven?"
"Everybody needs a ticket. End a' da line."
Searching for camaraderie, I spot a stout man. His skin is dark and rugged, like sea-faring men. A white top hat caps his thick silken hair melting down his back.
A crimson plume flutters as he turns and with a broad smile he flashes his garnet teeth.
"My child, do not be alarmed," he chuckles. The chuckle erupts into a laughter that soon becomes soundless-- full of motion: his shoulders convulse and his belly undulates with the weight of his happiness in his own voice. A small pool of drool forms at the corner of his mouth and dribbles down his chin.
"Yes, my child?"
"I don't have a ticket."
"Everyone has a ticket. You must know where to find it."
"But I don't. I don't have a ticket."
From behind his back he flings a gnarled, ebony cane into the air: "You must know where to FIND IT!"
I search my pockets, patting myself over. I am at a loss. The line is progressing and still I am without a ticket. "Please sir," I beg, "you must help me!"
The gate begins to radiate. In its ballooning heat it turns from gold to blue to red. Its heat is overtaking me. I am sweating, blind, losing control of my senses and I fall to my knees, desperate. The gate erupts, sprinkling a crimson dust onto the crowd. The stout man giggles. His dark skin quivers. Flinging off his white top hat, hopping from foot to foot, he flashes his scarlet teeth. The erupted gate covers his white top hat and dribbles onto his skin. It is thick, molasses-like. "You have FOUND IT!" He shouts. "My child you have found it!" It is heaven.
This cake is ecstasy. It is heaven. It is sin, joy, rich, chocolatey, gooey, crisp and pure, sweet gluttony. I received this recipe from my mother. As noted earlier, she takes the odd cooking class and passed this recipe on to me (though I added the crowning glory: a drizzle of pomegranate syrup).
This recipe is often found on menus. Usually it goes by the name of "Molten Lava Chocolate Cake" or something of the sort. That is a misnomer. It is more than that. It is perfect. It is decadence, gluttony, golden. It is heaven.
Weighing effort against results, this is one of the most painless recipes I have ever tried. When this emerged from the oven, D danced gleefully from foot to foot. He giggled incomprehensible words while he added the crown of ice cream, and his hands shook with anticipation when I began to drizzle the pomegranate syrup on top. When consumed, I sat motionless in my chair, unable to speak, smiling weakly at the stout man in my belly. I shamelessly licked my plate. I dare you not to.
Makes 5- 4oz. ramekins. Prep time= 15 min. Cook time= 12-15min
8 Tbl unsalted Butter
8 oz bittersweet or dark Chocolate
4 large eggs
1 large egg yolk
1 tsp vanilla extract
¼ tsp salt
½ cup granulated sugar
2 Tbl all-purpose flour
1) Preheat oven to 400F. In a double boiler, melt the chocolate and butter
2) While melting, put the eggs, egg yolk, and sugar in a bowl. With a mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, whip the eggs until they triple in volume
3) Add salt and vanilla extract to the chocolate mixture. Fold the egg mixture into the chocolate mixture until it is fully incorporated. Sprinkle the flour into the mixture and gently fold until incorporated.
4) Pour into buttered and floured 4 oz ramekins. Bake 12-15 minutes. The tops should set, yet will jiggle slightly when shaken. Unmold and enjoy.
NOTE: Since we were only 2, I halved this recipe. It made two very full cakes. We baked them for 16 minutes, which I believe is too long—too much of the gooey chocolate filling cooked. Also, because this batter was a little large for two, when baked, the cake erupted over the edges of the ramekin (without spilling), making it impossible to remove. No loss, we covered it with ice cream and pomegranate syrup (recipe below).
1 pomegranate, deseeded. Retain juice
½ cup sugar
1) Before starting cake, deseed pomegranate. On low heat on the stovetop, place all seeds, juice and sugar in a small saucepan.
2) Allow to simmer while you prepare the cake, stirring every so often so as not to burn. Let thicken. Mixture will bubble. This is okay, keep stirring.
3) With about 5 minutes left in the cake baking, turn heat off syrup. Once cakes are out and ice cream is on, hold a strainer over cake and pour mixture through, catching seeds as syrup drizzles onto the cake. At this point the syrup will be sugar-like crystals and if you're crafty enough you can build some sugar structures as it hardens on the ice cream surface. Succulence. Enjoy.

I was sent this to test out and review a while also…(I am working through a massive box of goodies, its daunting I tell ya!).
ELF, in case you don't know, sells extremely affordable cosmetics from £1.50 and they also have the 'studio' range which looks a bit slicker but is still very affordable (£3.50 for this palette!).
I love concealers. This palette is the kind of thing I would normally go for:
The packaging is soooo Nars-esque. In this palette we have 4 shades for different uses.
They Say:
Use the nude and beige shades to conceal problematic areas. Use the green shade to neutralize redness like that of acne and the lilac shade to brighten yellow tones.
So basically its everything you need in one place. I am a concealer fiend, did I tell you. But I am forever losing them.
Here's the palette:
It reminds me of a Chanel palette I own (AWOL, in case you are wondering) which also has a pink, a green and two fleshy tones. Its also a bit like my Lise Watier concealer wheel, which I have also, thankfully, lost.
This is a decent little concealer palette. Its not the best concealer I have ever used but lets not forget its only £3.50 – the price of a Starbucks with extra marshmallows, which, I am sure they charge you for.
The texture is good – its creamy rather than drying – urgh how I hate dry, cakey concealer. But it does need a powder me thinks, to set it. Don't I always set concealer? No, not always.
On the pigmentation side, it could do better especially with the fleshy tones – it wouldn't conceal my mega red patches.
On the other hand the two coloured concealers, the green and pink are good because they are pigmented enough – with greens and pinks I always think you don't need anything too green or too thick or too pigmented because the result is a little puke like.
Not a bad little concealer palette, I am sure it will work better on you if you only need minor concealing. As mentioned, the colour correctors are the tones I would recommend most in the palette. Worth a go if you are starting out your new concealer collection or if you are on a budget.

The World Trade Organization negotiations have broken down once again, ostensibly because "developing" countries want to protect their farmers. Imagine that.
As representatives of 40 nations left the failed talks July 29, developing and developed countries were pointing fingers at each other for causing the collapse of the "mini-ministerial" meeting in Geneva, Switzerland.
Negotiators for China and India accused the developed countries of refusing to make sufficient reductions in agricultural subsidies to justify opening their markets to more agricultural exports.
The United States, European Union and other members of a group of seven leading countries said they could not accept language from China and India that would have allowed developing countries to raise tariffs on ag imports.
The argument was much more complex than that as such negotiations often are. Some said the U.S. cotton program was one of the sticking points; others blamed U.S. soybean exports to China; and others, the new farm bill.
When China was admitted to the WTO in 2001, a precondition was that it would establish a new quota system that would permit increased imports of U.S. cotton. The U.S. cotton industry says China has done so only during times of shortages in its domestic supply.
Under Chinese rules, imports coming in through the quota system are subject to a 1 percent duty. Imports above the quota system incur duties on a sliding scale that ranges from 6 percent to 40 percent.
China came into the latest ministerial demanding the United States eliminate its cotton subsidies, which it claimed have reached $3.5 billion a year, before it would reduce its cotton import tariffs or open more quotas.
"Lowering or eliminating cotton import tariffs for China would result in a flood of U.S. cotton on the Chinese market, which would cause the loss of millions of jobs among Chinese cotton growers," one Chinese analyst said.
The Chinese government has been more flexible on soybean imports, reducing the tariff several times to lower the price of cooking oil. One cut appeared to be aimed at keeping prices low around the Olympic games.
But Chinese negotiators took a different tack in Geneva, siding with India on demands the new agreement allow developing countries to raise tariffs on commodities such as soybeans when the economic livelihoods of their farmers were threatened.
That's an increasingly novel concept among "free traders" who care little about what happens to individual farmers as long as multi-national companies can increase sales of agricultural commodities and industrial goods.
They cite study after study showing that a successful Doha Round agreement would increase global income by $2 trillion to $3 trillion per year but have no figures on how many farmers might lose their livelihoods in the process.
The WTO must somehow find a way to improve trade while keeping millions of the world's farmers from slipping further into poverty. That can't be any more difficult than negotiating a new trade deal.

FRUITA, Colo. (KKCO) - Based on the unofficial results of Tuesday night's municipal elections, Fruita has become the first city in the state to place an additional tax on medical marijuana.
"Referred Issue A" asked voters to approve a five percent sales tax increase on all medical marijuana transactions. That five percent would be on top of the three percent sales tax most cities across the state already collect.
Sixty percent of voters voted in favor of the tax. Only 37 percent voted against it. These results are unofficial until they're certified by the Fruita City Clerk.
Although Fruita does not currently have any medical marijuana dispensaries, city officials say they're trying to be pro-active and create a system to regulate them in the future given that current state laws are vague and don't give cities much guidance on how to do that.
"Our legislators at the Capitol are working through this issue now, but cities have to deal with it immediately," says Fruita City Manager Clint Kinney. "This has definitely become an issue of local concern and the City of Fruita is just trying to be ahead of the curve."
The city has already put a number of its own rules into place, including land use regulations that dictate where dispensaries can and can't operate. But officials say as more regulations are established, the city will bear the brunt of the costs to enforce them and they felt the measure would be a fair way to offset those costs.
"We discussed the opportunity to put a tax on that to help pay for what the regulations are going to cost," says Kinney.
Fruita currently has one pending application for a dispensary. City officials say, however, that it likely won't go through because its proposed location is close to a daycare center and would violate city land use regulations.

It's a Network Not a Fund: Must Know How to Work the Network to Get Funded
Fund: Tech Coast Angels
Posted by David Saad on 2007-11-19
Let me start with a disclaimer: My company called Clupedia is a portfolio company of Tech Coast Angels. In fact, we raised one of the largest, if not the largest round in TCA's history. I also won the Most Promising Investment Award during the 2006 Fast Pitch competition.
In response to other postings, here's my take on TCA, their process, their people, and their Fast Pitch competition. I shall be as objective as possible by listing the pros and cons to benefit future entrepreneurs as well as give feedback to TCA's executives who might be peeking in.
They do fund. In fact, they are the largest network of angels on all fronts - numbers of angels in their network, number of deals they made, the total amount of investments made, number of companies in their portfolio which attracted VC funding, etc. From that perspective, their track record is very respectable.
They do enjoy a good reputation among the VC community. Many of the local VCs sponsor their event. In fact, almost all local VCs treat TCA as an excellent source of deals. For VCs, TCA is really nothing but a screening process. Thus, any company that gets funded by TCA and does well, is likely to attract VC funding. Therefore, TCA is essentially doing the early due diligence work for VCs, and VCs like that.
They do have some smart, experienced, and well-connected angels that can make critical contributions to a start-up. More than just the money that they bring to the table, they can give you great advices, recruit executives, attract customers, establish strategic alliances, and open doors with VCs.
Even though their process is long and rigorous, it does indeed weed out weak companies that are not quite ready for angel investment. In fact, I know of at least three local companies who got turned down but benefited from the process by getting great advices, references, referrals, etc. So essentially, if they like you, but not enough to invest in you, they will still help you by getting you more ready to pitch again. Therefore, if you have a good attitude, open minded, listen to their feedback, there is a good chance that you will get a lot out of them, for FREE, even though you don't get funded. Therefore, you have everything to gain and not much to loose, other than your time which is very understandably valuable, to pitch to them.
Angels at TCA come from many different backgrounds. Chances are that the majority of the people listening to your pitch won't really understand your business. They typically rely on few of their peers who do. Thus, there is a "herding" effect that takes place. The key to your success at raising funding at TCA is to have one of the influencers who knows your space become your evangelist. Without that influencer, your chances to raise any money are very slim. As a result, you need to think about TCA as a network to be lobbied, and your sales strategy in terms of raising the funding, is actually to work the network. You must start by discovering the influencers, work them, and get them to spread their influence on others to gather as many signatures as possible. There is a tipping point. Once you reach that tipping point, you start to see other investors signing up, just because others did.
Micromanagement can be a major issue that can lead to your failure if you do not watch out. Typically, the board of directors of a startup is far more involved in the operation of the company compared to a later stage company where the board restricts itself to monitoring and just strategic matters. Furthermore, angels tend to want to get involved more so than VCs. They are passionate about your company. The problem is that if they get too passionate, then they start to want to run your company. That's when the problems start. What distinguishes the men from the boys as entrepreneurs, a good entrepreneur needs to find a good balance between embracing the involvement of board members yet at the same time keep an arm-length as far as operational issues. In essence, once your board starts to get involved in the operation of your company, you will likely end up on a very slippery slop. The fact is that everybody has an opinion, but since you're the one who is running the company and since the buck stops at your desk, your opinion is what counts. On the other hand, if you take the attitude that you know it all and ignore some of their advices, chances are that you will be wrong at one point or another, and when you're wrong, you won't get the support of your board. That could be the kiss of death, unless you have prepared for an alternative.
Fast Pitch
At first I was skeptical. I also agree with one of the users who made a comment about the fact that there are some clowns who pitch. Very true. On the other hand, those clowns are weeded out during coaching sessions. The 12 companies who get selected to compete in the event are good companies. Of course, that doesn't mean that they are fundable. Nonetheless, the event does give you exposure, it does force you to articulate your thoughts about your company, and it does help you manage the butter fly effect. So, jump in and compete. There are those who dream about it, those who talk about it, those who complain about it, those who do it, and those who win it. Which one are you"!!! It's up to you.
My Advice
If you have a venture that could bring 5 to 10 times returns within 3 to 5 years, you should pitch to TCA. Follow religiously their process even if you don't like it, do your homework, and work the network as explained above. As far as your attitude is concerned, you need to demonstrate leadership and be assertive, yet at the same time be open minded and a good listener. It's a balance that you must strike. In addition, diplomacy is the order of the day. You can bet that you will have disagreements with them. You can also bet that there will be different opinions and politics will start to crawl in. Be passionate, listen, yet follow your intuition. When you reject an advice, do it diplomatically. Your job would be to maintain order and consensus. However, that is much easier said than done. On the other hand, nobody said that startups are easy. It comes with the territory. So if you can't take the heat, don't even bother to enter the kitchen.
Overall Score
My opinion might be bias because my company is a poster child of TCA. We had a very good experience with them. On the other hand, I must admit that I also had my issues with them, especially after the funding. So, I think I am being very fair and objective. I give them a 4.5 out of 5 and I encourage every entrepreneur to consider them. And that's my 2 cents.


text: Thought I would post a picture of the gate that my son and I built to seperate the shop from the front/side of our house. It took the better part of a week to build in the afternoon/evenings then a week at the powder coaters prior to installing. It rolls nice and smooth, even with a couple inches of snow on the ground. Thanks for looking, Mike.

Walther P88, left side
Walther P88, right side
Walther P88 disassembled into major parts
The P88 had been developed by Carl Walther Waffenfabrik, Germany, in 1988, as a high capacity, military and law enforcement pistol. The production of the P88 had been ceased in 1996, and it had been replaced in production by P88 Compact, which is somewhat lighter and a little bit smaller, and have some techical diffrences from original P88. The P88 Competition, with ajustable sights and other minor changes, also had been produced as a sporting firearm.
The P88 is a recoil operated, locked brech semi-automatic pistol. It differs from previous Walther pistols, such as P38/P1, P5 in fact that it uses conventional Browning style locking with barrel lowered by shaped cam trach in the barrel extension under the chamber. The locking ius achieved by single massive lug on the barrel, that locks into the ejection port of the slide. The P88 trigger system is quite similar to that of Walther P5, but P88 has ambidexrous frame mounted decocker lever. The same internal safeties, as in P5, also available (firing pin safety, out of the batery safety/disconnector). P88 featured steel construction, with fixed sights and high capacity, double stack magazines. Being a good pistol, the P88 whas too high price, so Walther discontinued it in tha favour of the slightly lighter and smaller P88 Compact, which also featured redesigned safety - the frame mounted decocker had been replaced by ambidextrous slide mounted safety.

Moving to a new home is both emotionally and physically stressful. Fitting your entire existence into a dozen boxes is undoubtedly stressful, and let's face it, most of us wait until the very last minute to start packing, only to end up dumping everything into random boxes. However, preparation is the key to making sure your move won"t take longer than it needs to and be even more stressful or expensive (most of these guys are paid by the hour, after all). While many expenses are unavoidable, there are plenty of ways to keep costs down by planning ahead, comparing prices, and rethinking your presumptions about your moving options and expenses.
Moving, in general, has its expenses and hiring a professional mover or doing a DIY move can cost you about the same. Hiring a moving company can literally take a load off your shoulders and ease the stress of changing homes. Hiring a professional mover will not only help things run smoother but keep your mind at ease knowing that everything will be done right.
What is an Estimate For Moving Company in Everglades Lakes Mobile Home Community, Florida?
If you are moving state to state, then the relocation cost of your move will be based on the distance between the old and new location, weight and respectively on the amount of stuff you own. Often consumers looking for a moving company don't realize there are types of moving company estimates available other than what they are receiving from their moving companies.
Movers often either charge by the hour (this is common for local moves) or a flat rate based on weight or volume (common for long-distance moves); if the rate is hourly, ask for an estimate of the total hours the job will take and ask if you can cap the number of hours so that you don't run up a massive bill. Everglades Lakes Mobile Home Community, Florida moving companies representatives will take an inventory of all the items you intend to move and will calculate the overall weight of the shipment by using special furniture weight calculators (proprietary weight charts and weighing systems). Once the moving company agrees to move your belongings, they must either confirm the binding estimate, negotiate a revised written binding estimate listing the additional household goods or services or add an attachment to the contract, in writing, stating you both will consider the original binding estimate as a non-binding estimate.
How much do Everglades Lakes Mobile Home Community, Florida movers cost?
As it turns out, the cost to hire professional movers will effectively solve the ever-present dilemma of whether you should hire a moving company in Everglades Lakes Mobile Home Community, Florida 33314 or do it yourself. The cost to move across the country, or out of state, averages about $1,000 per room, with an average cost of 50 cents per pound. In some states, for instance, if a customer is moving more than 50 miles, the move's cost will be based on the weight of the shipment instead of the standard hourly rate. To elaborate further on the average moving cost for a 4 bedroom house, a reputable moving company charges based on the number of movers and trucks used during your move, so the expense for a 4 bedroom house will be around $150-170 per hour for 4 experienced movers and a big moving van that can fit all of your belongings.
How early you book your local or long distance move is important for lowering your moving costs, but timing your reservation right can be hugely beneficial to your relocation budget. Summer, in particular, is one of the most popular times for people to move, which means rates will often be higher during June, July, and August than they are for the rest of the year. If you want to save on your move, on the other hand, you can hire students or look at Craigslist for moving companies but have in mind that these options may not be able to provide the best quality relocation that you most naturally may want.

Why should you hire movers in Everglades Lakes Mobile Home Community, Florida?

When you hire the services of the movers, the responsibility of moving the goods safely, becomes theirs. Using professional assistance, on the other hand, guarantees speed and efficiency, as the experts have the skills and the required know-how to provide the most beneficial solution to any problematic situation.
Movers in Broward County, Florida will use mats and other protective items to help to cover and protect your mattress and upholstery from damage and will carry the items to the moving vehicle and unpack them in your new home or apartment.
