"The only place for churros in Madrid is here," e-mailed a friend of mine who's lived in Spain for a while and gave me a rundown of must-visits before my trip. She was referring to Chocolatería San Ginés, which has been around since 1894, tucked in a quiet alley behind a secondhand book stall next to the San Ginés church.
Churros con chocolate is a quintessential Madrid treat for breakfast, afternoon snacking, latenight munching, or anytime really. The menu at Chocolatería San Ginés is straightforward, pretty much limited to churros, chocolate, coffee, and beer, or some combination of the above (why bother with anything else?). When I walked in, the man behind the marble counter already started plating my not-yet-uttered-but-obvious churros con chocolate order.
What's New On Serious Eats
The footlong churros—which are cut with scissors from longer, quickly-fried churro ropes—come five to an order (3.50 euros) with a small coffee cup's worth of thick, melted chocolate. The powdered sugar shakers are waiting for you on the countertop. Shake as much as you wish, and definitely shake it.
The churros themselves aren't actually sweet: they're yeasty, doughy with crisp edges, and slightly salty. The chocolate isn't either—bittersweet, not candybar-sweet, and just a tad warm but not tongue-scorching-hot. These definitely aren't the cinnamon-and-sugar-drenched churros you'd find at carnivals and movie theaters.
Something about Chocolatería San Ginés reminded me a bit of Cafe du Monde and Morning Call in New Orleans, but more Spanish and with churros instead of beignets. It has a similar old-timey feel with a dressed-all-in-white staff and, well, a covered-all-in-white risk you take after all that powdered sugar shaking.

On 25-man mode, 13 million health isn't really much indeed, so I think he's going to have much more.
But on 10-man mode? 13 million health is a shitload of health for that, considering Malygos only has 7 million on 10 man.
Comparing Malygos* to Arthas is comparing Magtheridon with Kil'Jaeden.
Don't forget we'll all have Ulduar gear then, and 13 million won't be that much.

hi darlings
I am squeezing in a post at this time, before my hectic schedule starts. I would probably not update until my spring break, or the 11th, because i'm pretty much done all my assignments and exams by the 10th of FEB.
Today, i realized that i did not update with that many FOTD ever since i started blogging. I actually thought i had more, but i guess i've been lazy to take pictures.
This is an everyday look that i often do. Especially when i don't feel like putting a whole bunch of make up on.
It's super simple and easy
Here is what i used:
For the cheeks: i used Personal Style, from the All Ages, All Races, All sexes collection by MAC
The palette:
top left: Naked Lunch - crease
top right: handwritten - lid
bottom left: mulch - crease
bottom right: Gleam ( DID NOT USE)
For the lippies:
I used: Shy Girl lipstick
lipglass: Love Nectar
I really love Shy GIRL, i also got PLINK during the holidays, but i LOST ITT..AHH. i'm soo sad, and i refuse to repurchase it :(..............but i might have too. But anywas, this is a great colour if you love CORALS. I LOVE CORAL COLOURS!
And here is the eye look:
Very simple. I would substitute the linear, with a brown, or dark brown, but because i do not have one, i just stuck to black. In real life, the colours are much more vibrant and dark. My washroom lighting is really bright, so i guess some of the colours got lost O.O..hehe
So i adjusted the brightness and contrast in photoshop. :/
I love the lippies colour combination. It was the first time i used them together, and i really love how it looks together. I think this would be my new favourite for some time :D
This is the necklace i have been wearing for the past few weeks. My daddi got it in vietnam last year, when he went back to visit. I had school so i couldn't go, but yup. I do love this necklace, it's so cute.
I hope you enjoyed this post, and have yourself a lovely night :/
I should go to bed now. i feel so sleepy, i woke up tooooo early. :(..
AhHH...another week to go :(

OGUNQUIT – Every tourist season for the past decade, the owners of The Beachmere Inn have relied on a handful of foreign workers to change linens, vacuum carpets and tidy up the 73 rooms in the waterfront hotel.
Sarah Diment said she tries each year to fill the spots with American workers, occasionally recruiting hours away in Bangor or even farther north. But because of the seasonal nature of the jobs and competition for workers in a town with twice as many hotel rooms as full-time residents, Diment inevitably looks abroad to fill three or four spots in her 17-person housekeeping crew.
This year, The Beachmere Inn is going into the summer shorthanded because federal agencies have temporarily stopped processing for H-2B temporary guest workers.
"It's hard when we don't have enough people," said Grace Jerauld, who has worked The Beachmere's front desk for 15 years. "It's hard on the housekeeping department, so they're working six days instead of five and they're stretched thin, doing the job of one and a half people — a physically demanding job."
As Congress considers sweeping changes to the nation's immigration laws, Diment and others in the hospitality industry are urging members of Congress to provide more certainty to businesses that use the guest worker visa program.
"H-2B workers are essential to our operation and they are seen by our employees as critical backup they need during the summer and fall months," Diment told members of a congressional subcommittee Wednesday.
The program is tightly regulated — although not as tightly as some would like. Businesses must actively seek American workers first, pay substantial fees or travel costs to bring in foreign workers, and pay those workers a "prevailing wage" based on the regional average for that job.
Would-be workers, meanwhile, must be interviewed at a U.S. embassy or consulate.
Debate on Capitol Hill over guest workers has been muted compared to the controversy over creating a "pathway to citizenship" for an estimated 11 million illegal immigrants. But industries that hire temporary foreign workers to harvest crops, clean hotel rooms or do other tough-to-fill jobs are stepping up their lobbying in hopes of expanding or streamlining the programs.
The H-2B program has its critics at a time when millions of American workers are still unemployed and the country continues to dig out of the recession.
William Spriggs, chief economist for the AFL-CIO, called Diment and the other business representatives present on Wednesday "model employers." But he said the federal government needs clearer, more stringently enforced rules to prevent dishonest employers from hiring foreign workers for entry-level jobs that could be filled by unemployed Americans.
"We know there are many violations of the program where the program has been abused," Spriggs said. "And the regulations need to reflect those who misuse the program."
About 60 employers in Maine, ranging from hotels to wreath-making companies, notified the Maine Department of Labor that they plan to seek 1,085 H-2B visas for temporary foreign workers in 2013.
While the department is required to verify that those jobs are duly advertised for U.S. workers, the state isn't told by the federal government how many of those visas are ultimately used.
Requests for hospitality-related H-2B visas are most common in coastal towns such as Old Orchard Beach, Ogunquit, Boothbay, Camden and Bar Harbor.
Merlene Warren, a resident of Montego Bay, Jamaica, landed a visa to work in Ogunquit. She is one of The Meadowmere Resort's 12 to 14 seasonal employees from Jamaica, cleaning rooms during the summer.
Warren said she does the work "to care for my family back home, for my children."
"It is a sort of sacrifice for them," said Warren, a mother and grandmother who is working her eighth summer at the resort.
Allyson Cavaretta, the resort's director of sales and marketing, said all of its seasonal employees come from Jamaica because the resort has a good relationship with an employment agency there.
Many return year after year to do housekeeping and cook in the resort's pub.
Cavaretta said the resort has had only about five applications from U.S. citizens in the last eight or nine years.
In her testimony to the House Small Business subcommittee, Diment said The Beachmere Inn got 16 responses to its housekeeping ads for this year. Nine respondents didn't show up for interviews. Among the seven who did, two failed reference checks, two showed "obvious lack of interest" and two declined job offers.
"People think that they're taking American jobs, but nothing could be further than the truth," said Cavaretta.
"It's not like (we are) going to the border and filling a truck. It's a very old program and heavily monitored."
The Meadowmere's workers hit more snags than usual coming into the country after federal agencies suspended the H-2B application processing because of a court ruling in March.
"We've been having to provide extra things for them to travel, like past pay stubs, even though they've been working here for several years, or letters from management," Cavaretta said. "Plus more interrogation time at immigration. It's usually one to three hours, but one girl was there for 12."

What is power and who should have it?
October 17, 2010 4 Comments
I was recently invited to give a presentation on what power is, and who should have it. This a write up of my notes.
What is power?
Traditionally power would be seen as rather hierarchical, exclusive or elitist. The word has a binary dimension; to be powerful is not to be powerless.
But this is just one example of what power is. Today politicians, employers and academics talk about the benefits of empowerment.
Who do they think should be empowered? Frontline workers such as social workers or nurses should be more empowered, because when they are, production tends to be increased, they have a sense of ownership over their role, they tend to stay in the role for longer, ensuring consistency, while it promotes mental wellbeing.
On this, there are many crossovers between the political left and right today. The link between sense of purpose through ownership and empowerment can be seen as important from the right, in say the think-tank Respublica, to the centre and liberal left, from The Work Foundation to Compass.
On the question of whether empowerment is beneficial is almost a subject of political consensus.
Who else should feel empowered? Citizens need to feel empowered; at a local level citizens need to feel their voice is being heard on issues that directly relate to them. They need to feel consulted with on relatively minor things like on an installation of a new park bench, to something larger such as the planning permission of a block of flats.
The same goes for citizens at a national level; voices need to be heard via referendum, be that for membership to the European Union through to the voting system. This is a radical cultural change; no decision should be too small at a local level, nor too big at a national one.
Though on the question of power, is it something to be bestowed upon the people from the top, or is it something that can be created by the people themselves? Is empowerment top down or bottom up? The freedom of information act is a good example of where government has acted and allowed citizens to gain access to information we once had no right to. Is that empowerment? In a way this knowledge is empowering, but it's nothing if we just leave it there. Empowerment comes from what we do with that information, and how we use it to instigate change.
What is citizen empowerment?
So if this is what empowerment is in general, what is citizen empowerment specifically? It's about having input into decision making. In 2006, when David Miliband was Minister for Local Government, he talked about the "double devolution of power" from Whitehall to the town hall, from the town hall to the neighbourhood. Today more than ever, we have the ability to take that a stage further – the triple devolution of power – from Whitehall, to the town hall, then to the neighbourhood to our online communities. Already the internet has created a space for citizens to be more powerful.
The reason for this is that the internet can harness unique forms of social contact; it's now the task of people, politicians and organisations to promote this social contact as a way to influence change at both local and national levels.
In a Demos report published in 2006 entitled "Talk us into it: putting conversation at the heart of public realm," Samuel Jones discusses two interesting statistics; the first being the English average for how many people an individual knows in their street which is 14, whereas for Scotland that figure is 31. The second is the English average for how many people can name a local councillor which is 42, whereas for Scotland that figure is 59. The conclusion Jones has come to is there seems to be parity between knowing people in the local area and knowing who to influence in order to bring about change to that area.
The other conclusion is that the national average is quite low and could be higher, and if it were communities could be more empowered.
For this purpose, is the information highway empowering? Henry Jenkins in his book Convergence Culture, notes that the technological age could produce the "monitorial citizen" by which is meant one who becomes, not enlightened through mass information, but bombarded by conflicted versions of the truth. I take a different view; mass information seems to be far more deliberative in that it encourages people to discuss and work out solutions with a whole range of information. Jenkins' citizen sounds rather robotic believing everything she or he reads; the reality is information promotes nuanced opinion.
Can social media be empowering? I think it already is – in a way which cannot be ignored. An example of this happened to me last Thursday. I was walking from work to go to Holborn, in Central London. I just happened to look at my twitter feed only to find a few messages explaining how there had been a bomb scare and that the police were evacuating the area. I wanted to know more so I looked at the BBC website where I found nothing. I checked the Guardian website where I found nothing. Typed "Holborn" into google news to find absolutely nothing. I switched back to twitter where now many people had started to retweet more information on Holborn, this time with pictures taken from mobile phones, being tweeted and re-tweeted to their followers and their followers' followers.
Already citizen empowerment is undercutting the traditional ways in which we receive information.
Who should have power?
In short, the answer is anybody who is affected by the decisions, services and provisions in their local area. Advocates of citizen empowerment, such as Simon Burall and Jonathan Carr-West in a 2009 report for Involve and the Local Government Information Unit, cite evidence for it's benefits as local knowledge improving local services. It also builds links between the community and the provider, thus increasing accountability – a particular political hot potato, rendered so not least by the recent expenses scandal.
In his paper entitled Democracy Pays: How democratic engagement can cut the cost of government, Anthony Zacharzewski makes the financial case that democratic engagement of citizens can improve transparency and the accountability of where tax money goes. This would inevitably counter waste and reduce the cost local councils spend on consultancy, instead opening up decision making to the neighbourhood.
Another popular reason given is that citizen empowerment would re-enfranchise the disillusioned (such as NEET – not in education, employment or training – young people). If those on the cusp of society felt their voice heard, and they participated to the betterment of their society in a considered and meaningful way, this would hopefully return otherwise alienated people back to the communities in which they belong.
The one overarching reason that people should have power in their local communities is because it is a widely accepted, and fundamentally necessary, principle of democracy. People should not only be able to participate in making decisions related to the things around them; they should be able to frame the very terms of those debates.
To this end, and in the spirit of the times, there should be a single online access point, where people, with their local councillors and MPs, can enjoy such power.
Thank you.

Anna Trebunskaya Helps Best Friends Animal Society, DWTS Interviews With Drew Lachey
Today Anna Trebunskaya did a sweet segment on pet adoption in association with Best Friends Animal Society on Access Hollywood. You'll have an "awww" moment when you watch this….
Also, be sure to catch a video of Drew Lachey at People.com where he talks about dancing on Dancing With The Stars again. He also mentions how his daughter can't get use to Drew's darker color of skin. So cute!! Here is a take from the link…
The tanning is what the former mirrorball trophy champ expects to confuse his daughter the most.
"The skin tone might throw her off a little bit," he says, adding with a smile, "But she likes Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, so she might just think I'm an Oompa Loompa."
The bedazzled costumes, on the other hand, aren't an anticipated concern for the star.
"My daughter is very theatrical," Lachey explains. "She loves her little musicals at school, and being in dance class, and the costumes and all that stuff. She's seen me in costume for Spamalot, she's seen me in costume for Hairspray. She's probably going to be like, 'Oh, what are you doing? Cleaning the house?'"
If interested, you'll be able to catch Drew on Huffpost Live today at 3:20pm Pacific time here.

BP will no doubt "win" the worst corporation of 2010, and enter Corporate Accountability International's Corporate Hall of Shame for its role in the worst environmental disaster this country has ever seen. Still, the organization wants you to cast your vote for the Worst Corporation of 2010.
Though I suspect BP will win by a landslide, it is important to let your voice be heard. After all, this poll is taking place on a site called "Democracy in Action." If you find the business practices of any of these other seven corporations despicable, let it be known.
Personally, we take a lot of what Corporate Accountability International says to heart, especially since we share their vision: "Today the air we breathe, the water we drink and our very democracy are under increasing threat from corporate abuses." In our industry, we've seen considerable criticism aimed at Nestlé Waters.
In March of this year, Food and Water Watch launched a "Keep Nestle Out of the Gorge" campaign in an effort to keep the bottled water giant from bottling water from the Columbia River Gorge. Greenpeace also campaigned extensively against Nestle earlier this year for the way in which they source palm oil and paper products. To be fair, Nestle countered with a zero-deforestation rather quickly.
We're not trying to sway anyone's votes here. In fact, I'd bet 90% or more of the votes will go to BP. But if you are genuinely fed up with any of the corporations above, let your voice be heard; send them to the Corporate Hall of Shame.

LONGMONT — Police are seeking the public's help in finding a man suspected of committing a series of northside Longmont residential burglaries and car break-ins.
The man, identified as Pedro L. Villa, who's believed to be either 19 or 21 and is suspected of "entering many of these homes at night, through unliked doors, while the residents are asleep," Longmont police Cmdr. Jeff Satur said.
Items such as purses and computers have been stolen from near the homes' doorways, Satur said.
Villa, whose last known address was an apartment at 2140 Dexter Drive, "is traveling around, possibly on a bike, staying with friends," Satur said. "We believe he is responsible for several car break-ins and nighttime residential burglaries along the 21st Avenue corridor."
"We have checked numerous locations but have not been able to find him," Satur said.
Police Department citizen volunteer patrol members have been distributing wanted fliers about Villa to businesses north of Mountain View Avenue and west of Main Street.
"We are seeking any information" on Villa or the crimes the suspect may have committed, Satur said, and police are asking for the community's help in locating him.
Police said warrants have been issued for Villa's arrest on suspicion of burglary, theft and first-degree trespass, as well as a warrant for suspicion of possession of marijuana. Anyone with information about Villa's whereabouts can call police at 303-651-8501 or Northern Colorado Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

Space-watchers are looking skywards again as another large piece of space junk approaches re-entry. The 2,400 kg German ROSAT is due to re-enter sometime between October 21 and October 24, according to DLR, the German space agency.
It is also predicted to be a "dangerous" re-entry, with the DLR saying that 30 individual pieces weighing a total of 1.7 tonnes could reach the surface of the Earth. The agency highlights the satellite's mirror as likely to be the source of the largest fragments, because of its heat resistance.
ROSAT – the Roentgen satellite – is an X-ray observatory that was launched in 1990 to perform an all-sky survey of X-ray sources. It detected 80,000 such sources, along with 6,000 ultra-violet sources with its wide-field camera. The project was abandoned and shut down in 1999.
The DLR expects its velocity at re-entry to be around 28,000 kilometers per hour.
The current plus-or-minus two days' uncertainty in re-entry should be reduced as re-entry approaches. The agency attributes the uncertainty to solar activity, since at a current altitude of less than 300 km, the satellite is affected by changes in drag as the atmosphere heats and cools (and consequently expands and contracts).
This latest fall is given a 1:2,000 chance that some fragment may hit someone on Earth (which puts it at somewhat more dangerous than the 1:3,200 chance estimated for UARS on its re-entry).
ROSAT is approaching long an extensive path that extends from 53 degrees North to 53 degrees South, with a ground track that could be as much as 80 kilometers wide.
While hefty, ROSAT is nothing like the largest satellite to make an uncontrolled re-entry: UARS was more than 6.5 imperial tons, and, as this slideshow on space.com details, other large re-entries include MIR, Cosmos, Salyut 7, Pegasus 2, Skylab, and the shuttle Columbia. ®

Former South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford speaks with reporters on Tuesday, March 19, 2013, at a polling place in Charleston, S.C.
A disgraced ex-governor and the sister of a popular comedian came out victorious on Tuesday in South Carolina's special congressional primary, possibly setting the stage for an uncommonly tight race for what is normally a Republican safe seat.
Republicans in South Carolina's 1st congressional district showed forgiveness by supporting Mark Sanford after a campaign focused as much on the former governor's personal transgressions as his record. Sanford came out on top of the crowded 16-candidate Republican primary, according to the Associated Press.
Former South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford talks about attempting to revive his political career Tuesday at a South Carolina congressional primary vote.
Sanford, who gained more than 35 percent of the vote, will face a runoff election on April 2 against the second place finisher. The race for the Republican runner-up was much closer and votes were still being tallied late into the night.
Also victorious on Tuesday was Elizabeth Colbert Busch — the sister of comedian Stephen Colbert — who easily won the Democratic primary and will face off against the winner of the Republican run-off election in May.
The seat opened in December when then-Rep. Tim Scott was appointed to fill the Senate seat vacated by Jim DeMint.
Bruce Smith / AP
Elizabeth Colbert Bush, the sister of comedian Stephen Colbert, shares a laugh with reporters after voting in Mount Pleasant, S.C., on Tuesday, March 19, 2013.
Sanford's bizarre disappearance from the governor's mansion in 2009 became fodder for comedians and political onlookers alike after it was revealed he lied about hiking in the Appalachian Trail in order to visit his mistress in Argentina. He served out his term, but faced ethics fines, a divorce from his wife of 21 years, and what many thought was the end of a promising political career.
He has spent the years since asking for forgiveness and acknowledging his mistakes, but he attempted to keep the focus of his campaign on his record as a conservative spender in as a governor and in Congress.
South Carolina congressional candidate Elizabeth Colbert Busch casts her vote Tuesday in the state's primary.
"If we live long enough, we're going to fail at something and I absolutely failed in my personal life and in my marriage, but one place I didn't ever fail was with the taxpayers," he said on the Today show last month.
Still, Republican rivals competing in the primary criticized Sanford for using his candidacy as much as a PR tour as a bid for Congress.
"His personal tour of redemption now is a disservice to the people of the Lowcountry who are looking for the next leader to represent them in Congress," Mike Biundo, an adviser to rival candidate Andy Patrick, said in a statement.
Throughout the campaign the well-funded Sanford was seen as the GOP front runner to reach the runoff. According to the non-profit Sunlight foundation, the former governor raised more than $300,000 with contributions from well-known Republican financiers David Koch and Foster Friess, the billionaire who largely bankrolled Rick Santorum's presidential campaign.
Sanford also enjoys a name recognition level much higher than his rivals, fueled both by his tumultuous tenure as governor and the fact he served as the representative from South Carolina's 1st district from 1995 to 2001.
Sanford's front-runner status made the primary largely a race for second place, where Teddy Turner, son of media-mogul Ted Turner, locked in a television ad war with Chip Limehouse. Turner painted Limehouse, a member of South Carolina's house of representatives, as a career politician. Limehouse accuses Turner of duping business investors out of millions of dollars.
Rivaling Sanford's funding on the Democratic side is Colbert Busch, whose famous brother has campaigned for her and talked about her on his satirical Comedy Central talk show.
Colbert Busch supporters argue their candidate can make inroads amongst those still unforgiving of Sanford's actions.
"I want to say to the voters of the 1st Congressional District of South Carolina, Democrats, Independents and Republicans, I have been listening and I hear you. I understand your frustrations and your aspirations. I will never stop listening to you-and I am ready to be your voice in Washington," Colbert Busch said in a statement released after her win.

True Happiness - Is it Really Possible!from: Jennifer C Morton - Guest Writer
Is there really a thing such as true happiness? Is there a sole individual who can attest that he's got true happiness in his life? Happiness has a lot of definitions and you cannot just stick with one. People are often unaware of their own condition-whether they are experiencing true happiness or not. It is a fallacy if you adhere with the thought that happiness is governed by a person's luck or destiny. It is extremely wrong to say that some people are made to experience true happiness while others are unlucky to do so. You can be happy if you really want to! Yes, there is nothing impossible with finding true happiness. It all depends on you. You just need some effort and change your perception of things.
Here are significant insights which will lead you to experiencing true happiness. If you only learn to adopt them, then sooner or later you can enjoy living your life contentedly.
Know what will really make you happy. There is nothing more hassle-free than being able to engage in things which you have your full interest on. You must understand that people are made up differently. What will make your friend happy will not necessarily give you true happiness. There are several reasons that will make you happy and it is vital that you know which one will do you good. Let your own individuality surface. Do not be worried if it is not the same with other people.
Device a plan which you know will lead you to true happiness. As long as you are at peace with your own mind, heart, and soul and if you feel okay with your own self, there is a greater chance of experiencing true happiness. Your mood will be uplifted when you know what to do to make you happy.
Mingle with happy individuals. Happiness is contagious. If you are surrounded by negative thinkers, then you are likely to be influenced by them. But if happy people are your comrades, then you will be a lot happier too.
Never ever pity yourself. The wrong thing with people is that they often pity themselves if ever they fail in any endeavor. Instead of consuming yourself with self-pitying, why not think of a solution so that your burden will be eased? Avoid feeling sorry for your whole being. Stop blaming yourself too. This will only make your situation worse than ever. Instead, always stay on the positive side.
Think of yourself. When you have your focus on your own self, you are led to uncovering the positive things that are present in your existence. It will help you a lot in prioritizing the elements that will do you good.
Learn to love yourself. Spoil yourself. Despite the worries you have in life, do not let your spirits get drowned in all these negativities. Take time to relax such as getting a massage, eating out, meeting people, and improving your appearance.
Laugh. Despite all adversities, take time to laugh. This will be the best medicine that you can take in. Let the situation lighten up and act normally. Thinking about the situation will certainly lead you away from true happiness.
Stay healthy. Take care of your health or else your mood and your perception will get affected too.
Dare to do something different. If you try doing something out of your routine, your dull and colorless life can be changed. Remember that you deserve to experience true happiness. Do not fail to pamper yourself with the factors that will lead you to it.

[Verse 1: Beck]
Centrifugal force pulling me off-course, in a horse race
Changing horses midstream, fourteenth place
On videotape surveillance playback
Sigh you lose face, disgraced, God forbid you
Fall off of the face of the Earth to chase
The black hole of what you thought it was worth today
"Don't shoot the piano player" I heard them say
It was your fault, centrifugal force, you got caught
Convict monotonous, a verdict thoughtless
As you read it out loud, at least I was being relatively honest
Standing in your office trying to speak to some anacondas
Eking solace out of the sawdust
While your doppelganger stands topless
No one notices, they got their own dramas
Drama-rama's melodramas
You draw commas on the eyes of madonnas
And wonder why you can't turn traumas into nirvanas
[Verse 2: Childish Gambino]
Don't mess your head up, still run with these young bucks
Still runnin' on jet fuel, still pimpin' on what-what
What was I thinkin'? I wasn't; What am I drinkin'? I'm buzzin'
Speakin' of weekends I used to fuck with your cousin
I used to rap about nothin', now I rap about nothin'
But that nothin' was somethin' that ain't nobody was bumpin'
See I still got it boo-boo, just a dad'll do you
Wonders if you don't wanna be under some gross dude
But most girls will do it just for a corner seat at Nobu
I bet your daughter's perfect, he say it like he know you
My daughter isn't living yet, Atwater Village idiot
Their flow's dumb, but that royalty's the silliest, now
[Outro: Childish Gambino]
Someone tell these niggas I ain't fuckin' 'round
Fly them all to Vegas man we hold it down
Livin' for the present, nigga we fuck futures
Sippin' on some whiskey, these bitches drinkin' Kombucha
Recession means more oppression, these niggas will shoot ya
Rio de Janeiro, these bitches lookin' like Xuxa
Talk with anacondas, at least I'm bein' honest
I'm tryin' to turn these Keke Palmers into baby mamas
Baby mama, I'm your baby, mama
Man, let your boy drown, they ain't save me, mama
They ain't save me, mama
They ain't save me, mama
Silk pillow for that new weave
Silk pillow for that new weave
Silk Pillow is the 11th track on the Royalty mixtape. Beck added a verse as well as co-produced the track with Childish Gambino.

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's and CBS Films have equally brutal track records of late. Now they're hoping two wrongs will make a right.
Johnson stars as Driver in "Faster," a man fresh out of prison seeking revenge on the man who killed his brother, with a veteran cop (Billy Bob Thornton rocking an epic hairpiece) and a hitman (Oliver Jackson Cohen) hot on his heels.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
The premise as laid out in the teaser is simple enough: Driver is pissed an he wants to hurt someone. It's good to see Johnson moving away from family fare like "Tooth Fairy" and "Race to Witch Mountain." The man does one thing well -- he hurts people. That's we want to see him doing on the big screen.
As for CBS Films, their first two efforts, "Extraordinary Measures" and "The Back-Up Plan" have a Rotten Tomatoes score of 48 -- combined. And "Beastly," which was to be their third feature has been pushed back from the summer/fall to March, never a good sign.
The film, which also stars Carla Gugino (where did her career go wrong?), Moon Bloodgood, Tom Berenger (in "Inception"! -- who'd've guessed) and Maggie Grace ("Lost").

If at all possible start the T-58 in the low 60s and let it naturally rise. It gets bubblegummy if you start in the high 60s and the fermentation goes into the mid 70s and higher. It attenuates pretty quickly (2-4 days), but let it go two weeks anyway, you will get better results.
Thanks for the replies and the t-58 tips. Cheers

Q&A: Dartmouth President Jim Yong Kim on Engineering
Questions from Dartmouth Engineer, students, faculty, and alumni:
What attracted you to engineering as an undergraduate?
I was fascinated by the idea of biomedical engineering, and the biomedical engineering department had given me a scholarship. I did a year and a half of research with professors at the University of Iowa.
Why did you switch fields?
I switched to a double-major in anthropology and biology because I became interested in social issues. I loved my first anthropology class and felt that I would be a mediocre engineering student and a much better anthropology student. More than anything else, I was really passionate about race, culture, and ethnicity and how they related to social justice, so the anthropology major was right in line with those concerns. And I wanted to be a doctor, so I got a degree in biology.
Did you take any engineering perspectives with you?
To this day, I am extremely impressed with the precision and structure that engineering can bring to very complicated problems, not only technical problems, but also human problems. I have always felt that engineers, especially ones who have studied complex systems, have huge contributions to make to the kinds of problems I was concerned about.
What can physicians and engineers learn from each other?
Both groups can learn a lot from each other, but I'm very interested in what physicians can learn from engineers. And the most important thing that physicians can learn from engineers is to think in terms of systems. By working with engineers, we can bring a rigorous, analytic approach to understanding how something as complicated as healthcare delivery systems work. Physicians and engineers can then use this approach to make systems work better.
How would you like to see physicians and engineers work together to promote global health initiatives?
The potential is enormous. In my view, most of the problems in global health are not about the treatment of individual patients but about the systems that can support wide-ranging and effective healthcare delivery. I think engineers are critical in building those kinds of systems.
Nana Amoah '11 asks: Where do you see Dartmouth and its engineering program on a global scale in the next decade, and what is your plan for taking Dartmouth there?
Thayer is such an important part of Dartmouth. I think that Thayer is in a great position to dramatically increase its impact in areas like healthcare, but in other areas as well. Already Thayer is having an impact on sustainability on campus and around the world. There's a lot of value in having Thayer the size that it is currently, but I would like to explore the possibility of expanding into areas where we know it can have a huge impact and where we can build on synergies that exist throughout Dartmouth College. I would love to see that happen, and I would be willing to help make that happen.
Michael Wood '10 asks: What advice would you give to humanitarian engineering groups to improve interactions between engineers and non-engineers?
Be patient. Most people that I have worked with in global health and global development don't yet understand the potential impact of engineers and their work. But they will. My prediction is that soon everyone will understand the enormous impact engineers can have on all types of global problems.
Betsy Dain-Owens '10 asks: How important will carbon neutrality and developing sustainable energy sources at Dartmouth be to you during your presidency?
Carbon neutrality and sustainability are very important to me and to Dartmouth. Again, this is another area where engineers and Thayer have enormous potential. I think we're starting to see the impact engineering can have on sustainability and also on specific initiatives here at Dartmouth.
Professor Elsa Garmire asks: With mobile phones making possible many applications that are revolutionizing medical care in developing countries, do you have any pet applications that you've seen or that you would like to see developed at Thayer School?
One of the things I've worked on for more than a decade is the use of electronic medical records to keep track of information on particular people who are suffering from diseases. What we found is that electronic medical records can be implemented with great impact. By bringing electronic medical records to the bedside in villages all over the world, we can keep information on individuals to make them healthier in a way that will leap-frog decades of a lack of technology.
Professor Kofi Odame asks: How do you think Thayer can prepare students to respond to global challenges in general?
The most important thing for Thayer students is that they're also Dartmouth College students. I would strongly urge Thayer students, especially undergraduate students, to take full advantage of the breadth of the Dartmouth College liberal arts education. As they're growing and gaining a more sophisticated understanding of quantitative methods and complex systems, they have to realize that no matter where they go or what kind of job they do, they're always going to be dealing with human relationships. I think there's nothing that prepares people to deal with the complexity of human relationships better than a liberal arts education. While our engineers obtain practical skills, they have to make sure to take demanding courses in the humanities and the social sciences in order to prepare them to take on the challenges that they will eventually face. No matter what you do, you still have to succeed in your relationships with other human beings, and I think there's no question that Dartmouth College's liberal arts education prepares you for that.
Kristina Brock '01 Th'02 asks: Given the hundreds of thousands of engineering students graduating from India and China each year, and the fact that leading technology firms are increasingly looking off-shore for top technology talent, how can we ensure that today's Dartmouth science and engineering graduates are prepared to compete and win?
We have to educate these companies on the value of an engineering and liberal arts education. I don't care how technical problems are, it's teams that solve those technical problems. So I want everyone to understand that when you hire a Dartmouth engineering graduate, you're not only getting the quality engineering education, but you're also getting someone who has had the Dartmouth College experience. These are people who are going to be much more successful at managing complex human relationships, and that's a key to success in any line of work.

This week was the debut of the new Star Wars: Blood Ties 4-part series called "Boba Fett is Dead."
The news spreads from one end of the galaxy to the other like wildfire: Boba Fett, the galaxy's most feared bounty hunter, is dead.
But when members of the team that killed Fett are themselves picked off one by one, Connor Freeman--the son of one of Jango Fett's clones--gets pulled into the action in a most unexpected way!
The series is written by Tom Taylor. The artwork and cover is Chris Scalf.
The publisher, Dark Horse Comics, has a preview of the comic's first few pages online.
The series "Blood Ties" was previously used for a Boba / Jango four-part comic book series, "A Tale of Jango and Boba Fett."

No solution. Just posting to say I get the same as yourself. I also tried in v2018 but I got the same thing. I did try exploding the polyline and then use join polyline on it, after that it would snap OK.Unless someone knows the cause. I can only guess that something went wrong with the template or property preset.
Look on selection info :Number of vertices: 7 but (x, y) information is only for 5 vertices !!!

To me.
Four years ago on this date, we authored our first, untitled, toe-in-the-water post in this space, and somehow, despite all common sense, we're still at it.
Thanks to everyone for reading, and...
"Hey cuz..."
Cheerless. And if you're here, that must mean...
"So, where's the cake?"
Fearless. Thanks for stopping by, boys. Isn't it a little early for cake?
"Uh, is it too early for beer?"
Guess not... guess it's time to start the party.

This scarf is an easy way to use up fabric in your stash. With a nod to menswear, this scarf has a bit of an ascot look but with a fun pleat to lighten it up. No pattern is needed, you simply cut a couple of rectangles and sew!
Items Needed:
- for scarf: 9 1/4" x 29 1/4" piece of fabric
- for pleat: 4" x 8 3/4" piece of fabric
- thread
- needle
1. Cut the fabric for the pleat, at the dimensions listed above. Fold pleat in half, right sides together. Sew sides and trim seam allowance. Flip to right side and iron flat.
2. Mark 1/2" intervals in the seam allowance.
3. Match up the markings and pin in place. Baste 1/4" from the edge.
4. Iron pleats to lie flat.
5. Pin pleat to the right side end of the scarf fabric. Leave a space of 5/8″ from the side for your seam allowance.
6. Fold scarf fabric over, right sides facing. Sew along the length and the end with the pleat. Leave the opposite end open.
7. Trim seam allowance and open to the right side. Turn in 5/8" at the open end of the scarf and press.
8. Fold the open end of the scarf over 2", pinning to the fabric, then hand stitch to the inside of the scarf using a catchstitch. Take care not to sew through the right side of the fabric.
Voila! A lovely new scarf for you, or perhaps a friend. Who knew you could make such a nice little scarf from leftover fabric scraps?

You can give your small business marketing a spring cleaning and burnish your brand without having to spend much money.Leverage the following marketing tactics to raise the profile of your small business, stay a step ahead of your competition and increase revenue:
1. Social networking Many of your customers of all ages are using social networking sites. You don't need to be a computer expert to use them and for a few minutes investment you can learn how to create a company presence on them that benefits you for years to come with little further effort other then maintenance.

Call your company Anonymously, call your business at several different times of the day and ask some hard customer questions to see how your employees react and interact with a customer. This will allow you to identify problem areas with your customer service and address them with training.
Returns Have a friend try to return something and document the experience to help identify areas of strength and weakness.
Online reputation and reviews You have likely come across some negative reviews about your company on a search engine. Many current and potential customers use search engines to help guide their online research in deciding where to buy.

Shares of Geely Automobile Holdings Ltd (0175.HK) are nearing some key technical levels as the Rank Correlation indicator has trending higher over the past few sessions, nearing potential overbought territory. Crossing the 80 mark would suggest that a chance of a reversal is increasing.
The Rank Correlation Index (RCI) is based on an analysis algorithm by Charles Spearman. It uses a combination of price change data and time change data to identify potential changes in market sentiment, thereby exposing turning points. Zero crossings are seen as buy and sell signals, with tops and bottoms yielding overbought and oversold information.
While traders are taking a second look at how shares of Geely Automobile Holdings Ltd (0175.HK) have been performing lately, we can examine some additional key indicators. A favorite tool among technical stock analysts is the moving average. Moving averages are considered to be lagging indicators that simply take the average price of a stock over a specific period of time. Moving averages can be very useful for identifying peaks and troughs. They may also be used to help the trader figure out proper support and resistance levels for the stock. Currently, the 200-day MA is sitting at 13.00, and the 50-day is 18.95.
The 14-day ADX for Geely Automobile Holdings Ltd (0175.HK) is currently at 31.53. In general, and ADX value from 0-25 would represent an absent or weak trend. A value of 25-50 would support a strong trend. A value of 50-75 would signify a very strong trend, and a value of 75-100 would point to an extremely strong trend. Checking in on some other technical levels, the 14-day RSI is currently at 77.40, the 7-day stands at 86.78, and the 3-day is sitting at 92.77. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of stock price movements. The RSI was developed by J. Welles Wilder, and it oscillates between 0 and 100. Generally, the RSI is considered to be oversold when it falls below 30 and overbought when it heads above 70. RSI can be used to detect general trends as well as finding divergences and failure swings.
At the time of writing, Geely Automobile Holdings Ltd (0175.HK) has a 14-day Commodity Channel Index (CCI) of 187.83. Developed by Donald Lambert, the CCI is a versatile tool that may be used to help spot an emerging trend or provide warning of extreme conditions. CCI generally measures the current price relative to the average price level over a specific time period. CCI is relatively high when prices are much higher than average, and relatively low when prices are much lower than the average. Investors may be watching other technical indicators such as the Williams Percent Range or Williams %R. The Williams %R is a momentum indicator that helps measure oversold and overbought levels. This indicator compares the closing price of a stock in relation to the highs and lows over a certain time period. A common look back period is 14 days. Geely Automobile Holdings Ltd (0175.HK)'s Williams %R presently stands at -2.61. The Williams %R oscillates in a range from 0 to -100. A reading between 0 and -20 would indicate an overbought situation. A reading from -80 to -100 would indicate an oversold situation.

After months — hell, a couple of seasons — worth of speculation, Mack Brown's tenure at Texas finally and somewhat mercifully came to an end, with the longtime Texas head coach announcing Saturday night that he would be stepping down after 16 seasons in Austin.
While there's still the matter of a bowl game to put an official end to Brown's time with the Longhorns, the search to replace a man who had been on the job since 1998 has commenced in earnest. Given the fact that UT is the most financially well-heeled football program in the country, don't look for the university to target the hot coordinator du jour initially; rather, look for athletic director Steve Patterson and those who lord over him to chase a veritable who's who of head coaches at both the collegiate and professional levels.
Despite appearances — and how laughably clumsy Brown's departure played out in the media — Texas is still one of the top coaching jobs in any American sport let alone college football. UT officials should have little problem attracting top-flight candidates from across the country in spite of themselves and their backroom politicking.
With that as a backdrop, here's a look at some of the names of coaches who have either already been mentioned or could potentially be mentioned as replacements for Brown… and knowing full well that there's a very real possibility that absolutely none of those mentioned will be the guy to actually replace Brown.
Nick Saban, Alabama
Whoops. Sorry. Force of habit.
Jimbo Fisher, Florida State
Armed with a contract extension that will make him one of the highest-paid head coaches at the FBS level, Fisher will lead his Seminoles into the BCS title game early next month against Auburn. Fisher, who knows full well the weight that comes with replacing a legend, has seen his name pop up in connection to a potential opening at UT earlier this month, and look for the Longhorns to at least reach out him even as they could likely save themselves some time by not doing so.
Jim Harbaugh, San Francisco 49ers
Reportedly, Harbaugh is unhappy with ownership and could be open to a move back to the collegiate level. The former Stanford head coach was asked earlier this week about interest in a potential opening at UT, and didn't take kindly to the line of questioning. It would seem unlikely that Harbaugh would drop back down to the collegiate level at this point in time, but Texas is one of the few programs in the country that could, to a point, go dollar-for-dollar with the NFL.
Mike Gundy, Oklahoma State
Out of all the names that will be mentioned, this is the one that would be both in the realm of possibility and considered a home-run hire by most. Finishing up his ninth season with the Cowboys, Gundy showed last year by talking to Arkansas and Tennessee about their openings that he's at least receptive to overtures from other schools. Add in the tension with his bosses, and Gundy could very well be in play if/when Texas reaches out. Weakening a conference rival would be an added bonus for UT.
Art Briles, Baylor
Like Fisher, Briles recently received a contract extension that would seemingly lock him down with the Bears for the foreseeable future. Buyouts will be no hindrance in UT's search, however, and Texas is expected to at least make a run at a coach who could very well do more for the football program than any other name on this list.
David Shaw, Stanford
Prying Shaw off The Farm would seem to be the dictionary definition of a pipe dream, but UT would be doing its program a disservice if they didn't at least make a run at one of the best coaches at any level of football. It's likely Stanford need only worry about the NFL when it comes to retaining Shaw, although Texas could certainly make a convincing case if, as unlikely as it is, Shaw is willing to listen.
James Franklin, Vanderbilt
Reportedly a candidate for the USC job, Franklin will see his name connected to every significant opening until he actually leaves the Commodores. Known as a master recruiter, what Franklin could do with the talent-rich state of Texas has to be intriguing on multiple levels to UT. In his time with the Commodores, he's led his team to three straight bowl appearance; prior to his arrival, Vandy had appeared in just four games in its century-plus existence. While happy at Vandy, Franklin's ears are open to any and all who want to discuss a move.
Todd Graham, Arizona State
Graham has shown, ahem, a propensity to be attracted to the next shiny coaching thing. Born and raised in the state of Texas, Graham became a high school coaching legend in that state. He left Rice after one season for Tulsa and bolted Pittsburgh after just one year for his "dream job" at Arizona State; do you think he wouldn't at least be mildly interested in listening to overtures that would bring him home and result in him taking over the flagship football program in his state?
Kirby Smart, Alabama
If you can't get Saban, why not target the man who has helped play a significant role in returning Alabama to national prominence? Smart has been tied to several head-coaching vacancies over the past couple of years, but has yet to pull the trigger on getting out from under Saban's shadow. It's only a matter of when and not if the defensive coordinator becomes a head coach. If Texas goes for a first-timer to replace Brown, they could do a lot worse than Smart.

(RNN) - One woman's injuries caused her to have a hair-raising experience - on her tongue.
A report in the New England Journal of Medicine said a 55-year-old woman developed the tongue condition as a side-effect to treatment of a wound infection she developed after sustaining severe leg injuries in an auto accident.
The woman reported a bad taste in her mouth and developed a black, hairy tongue as a side-effect to tetracycline antibiotics a week after she started the treatment.
A black, hairy tongue can also develop as a result of bad oral hygiene, the use of tobacco products and irritating mouthwashes.
It's a benign condition "characterized by hypertrophy and elongation of filiform papillae on the surface of the tongue, with brownish-black discoloration."
No, it's not really hair. The papillae, or many tiny projections on the surface of the tongue, easily trap substances, including tobacco, bacteria and yeast, the Mayo Clinic said.
Luckily, the black, hairy tongue usually is not a permanent condition.
The woman's tongue resumed its normal color four weeks after she stopped taking the antibiotic and started an alternate treatment. Doctors also told her to practice good oral hygiene, which includes brushing the tongue.
Warning: Image below is graphic and may be disturbing.

TAMPA — As the final free training session began Tuesday at the Nonprofit Leadership Center of Tampa Bay, the teacher made an announcement.
"We have a special guest," Sara Leonard told a class of two dozen.
In walked a slim man dressed in a black leather jacket and dark jeans.
The room erupted in screams.
"I'm your teacher for the day," said actor Kevin Bacon, who currently stars in the television show The Following and is perhaps best known for appearing in movies including Animal House, A Few Good Men and Footloose.
In Tampa for a lecture Tuesday night at the University of South Florida, Bacon made a surprise visit to the center, where non-profit professionals were gearing up for Give Day Tampa Bay.
"Just kidding, obviously," Bacon said. "I'm Kevin, by the way. Nice to meet you."
Bacon scheduled the appearance, unbeknownst to those in the class, with the help of his team at Sixdegrees.org, which connects local causes with celebrities.
"There's a lot of giant organizations that have huge benefits and rock stars playing music and they cost $20,000 or $30,000 per table and they raise a tremendous amount of money," Bacon said. "But I also think it is important to connect small groups and people like yourselves with people in my world … if nothing else just to say, 'Thank you, keep up the good work.' "
In addition, Bacon and Sixdegrees.org agreed to contribute to the Give Day Tampa Bay event on May 6, which is a 24-hour fundraising competition for nonprofits across Tampa Bay. Sponsored by the Community Foundation of Tampa Bay and the Florida Next Foundation, participants will have an opportunity to win a personalized message from Bacon or an extra $1,000 toward their cause.

Despite having mild hyperglycemia for approximately 50 years, patients with a mutation in the gene encoding the enzyme glucokinase had a low prevalence of clinically significant vascular complications, findings that provide insights into the risks associated with isolated mild hyperglycemia, according to a study in the January 15 issue of JAMA.
"In both type 1 and type 2 diabetes, hyperglycemia [abnormally high blood sugar] is associated with microvascular complications over time. Intensive treatment to lower blood glucose levels reduces the development of microvascular complications," according to background information in the article. Certain patients with glucokinase (GCK) mutations have mild fasting hyperglycemia from birth, resulting in an elevated glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level that mimics recommended levels for type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
Anna M. Steele, Ph.D., of the University of Exeter, United Kingdom, and colleagues assessed the prevalence and severity of microvascular and macrovascular complications in patients with GCK mutations to provide additional information about the relationship between current glycemic targets and diabetes-related complications. The study, conducted in the United Kingdom between August 2008 and December 2010, included 99 GCK mutation carriers (median [midpoint] age, 49 years), 91 nondiabetic, nonmutation carrier relatives (control) (median age, 52 years), and 83 individuals with young-onset type 2 diabetes (YT2D), diagnosed at age 45 years or younger (median age, 55 years). Median HbA1c was 6.9 percent in patients with the GCK mutation, 5.8 percent in controls, and 7.8 percent in patients with YT2D.
The prevalence of clinically significant microvascular complications (such as retinopathy, nephropathy, and neuropathy) was low in patients with a GCK mutation (1 percent) and the control group (2 percent). In contrast, 36 percent of the YT2D group had evidence of clinically significant microvascular disease. Thirty percent of patients with GCK had retinopathy compared with 14 percent of controls and 63 percent of patients with YT2D.
Neither patients with GCK nor controls had proteinuria (the presence of excessive protein in the urine), and microalbuminuria (an increase in the urinary excretion of the protein albumin that cannot be detected by a conventional test) was rare, whereas 10 percent of YT2D patients had proteinuria and 21 percent had microalbuminuria. Neuropathy was rare in patients with GCK and controls but present in 29 percent of YT2D patients. Patients with GCK had a low prevalence of clinically significant macrovascular complications (4 percent; such as heart attack, ischemic heart disease, stroke) that was not significantly different from controls (11 percent), and lower in prevalence than patients with YT2D (30 percent).
The presence of ischemic heart disease was low in the GCK and control group, while higher in YT2D patients (16 percent). No patients in either the GCK or control groups had experienced a stroke compared with 4 of 83 patients (5 percent) in the YT2D group.
"Patients with a GCK mutation have a low prevalence of clinically significant microvascular and macrovascular complications despite their lifelong hyperglycemia. In these patients, an average of nearly 50 years of isolated hyperglycemia within current target ranges for diabetes control has a negligible association with complication development," the authors conclude.

Editorial: Insights From Monogenic Diabetes and Glycemic Treatment Goals for Common Types of Diabetes
Jose C. Florez, M.D., Ph.D., of Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, comments on the findings of this study in an accompanying editorial.
"... this study by Steele et al sheds light on the extent to which decades of isolated mild hyperglycemia promote diabetes complications, and with key caveats expressed here [within the editorial], this study supports current treatment goals and lays the groundwork for more extended follow-up of this unique population," Dr. Florez writes. "Overall, it is clear that despite the low frequency of glucokinase maturity-onset diabetes of the young, knowledge of its natural course has implications for the management of common forms of diabetes, and it illustrates how clinical insights gained from the study of monogenic [pertaining to one gene] syndromes can improve understanding of complex diseases."

Apple Shares Take a Wild Ride as Analysts Recalibrate
There was plenty to chew on for bulls and bears both in Apple's Tuesday earnings report, and the company's stock has been more than a little mercurial as a result.
Plans to substantially increase its dividend and share buybacks, an 18 percent drop in net income for the March quarter, flaccid guidance for the June quarter, the promise of "amazing new hardware, software and services" come fall — all these things buffeted Apple's stock on Wednesday. The company's shares slipped 2 percent early in the day, but by afternoon they'd recovered their losses. The stock closed down very slightly at $405.46.
We're likely to see similarly erratic moves today as investors continue to digest Apple's quarterly reality check. More than 20 brokerages cut their price targets on the company's stock following the report, slashing them by about 12 percent on average, according to Thomson Reuters. The current range: $400 to $880.
That pretty much says it all.
Analyst reactions are all over the map. For every one that's praising Apple for its remarkably large capital allocation program, there's another saying the company is doling out $100 billion to shareholders because it doesn't have any better ideas about what to do with the cash. Another big point of contention: CEO Tim Cook's remarks about fall product updates and the new product categories Apple is considering.
Cook's implication that Apple might not uncrate a new iPad or iPhone until September was met with quite a bit of disappointment — particularly from those who had been expecting a new iPhone this summer. As one large Apple shareholder said, "Great, five more down months. What'd you have to go and say that for, Tim?"
Okay, point taken. That's an understandable sentiment if you're an Apple shareholder who has watched the company's stock price fall from over $700 to below $400 since September. But if you take a pragmatic view of Cook's remark, it makes perfect sense.
Think about it. The volatility around Apple's share price is unlikely to subside until it's clear that the company's next product cycle is well under way. If investors were expecting new hardware from Apple this summer, but the company wasn't planning to ship anything new until fall, it was looking at a nightmarish five-month stretch of rumors and doomsaying playing hell with its share price. Given that situation, it was essential that Cook reset expectations.
If Cook's remarks are on the level, Apple may well be headed for the challenging September quarter that analysts are now predicting. But it won't be nearly as challenging a period as it might have been had he allowed anticipation for a summer iPhone launch to build. So Cook has given Apple some breathing room, something that will likely come in handy as it buckles down on those "exciting new product categories" he hinted at.

Set Your TiVo: 12.05.11Posted by Brian Otskey on December 5th, 2011
Brian Otskey is the RTC correspondent for the Big East Conference and a regular contributor. You can find him @botskey on Twitter. See bottom of the post for the Official RTC Star System.
This is a very light night of hoops but you may want to check out two games between bottom-tier Big East teams and a pair of Midwestern mid-majors.
St. John's @ Detroit – 7:00 PM EST on ESPN2 (**)
- St. John's has been in an early-season slide, having lost four of its last five games. The Red Storm play only seven men and the tired legs are already starting to catch up. St. John's is one of the worst three-point shooting teams in the country at 26.2% and averages only 35 rebounds per game. This will likely be an up-tempo game because the Red Storm has athletes that like to run and Detroit loves to maximize the number of possessions in a game. One thing St. John's does very well is to keep opponents off the foul line and it will have to do just that against a Titans team that shoots 78.4% from the charity stripe. Moe Harkless and God's Gift Achiuwa played well at Kentucky last week and more progress against a severely depleted Detroit front court is something the Johnnies should count on tonight.
- As mentioned, Detroit's roster has been decimated. Head coach Ray McCallum, Sr., has only eight scholarship players available after Eli Holman's legal troubles, Nick Minnerath's torn ACL and a host of other issues including academics and other personnel departures. Chase Simon and Ray McCallum, Jr.,have to lead the Titans and score points in transition against the turnover-prone Nurideen Lindsey (3.9 turnovers per game) and company. Unfortunately for Detroit, Simon and McCallum are just as prone to giveaways.
- This game will be a war of attrition with foul trouble and fatigue playing a major role. St. John's is the better team but not by much. With Detroit playing at home against a Big East team while honoring former head coach Dick Vitale with a special ceremony, there will be some buzz in the arena. We have no idea who will win this one and the Vegas line agrees, calling this game a pick'em.
Milwaukee @ DePaul – 9:00 PM EST on SNY, Sports 32, ESPN3.com (**)

life gave me a pretty good beat down this weekend xD. I got beat down but i got back up and had a kick ass weekend(literally)
My friend decides she wants to go to the beach before class. So I got my butt up at 445 am to watch the sunrise and to surf. I should have just stayed on the beach and watched her surf because some people just dont realize that when youre on a wave, its yours. doesnt matter if youve been waiting longer, once you get the wave its yours. so what youre suppose to do is get out of the way... never assume people get out of your way. cause like they say when you assume you make an ass out of you and me, or something like that. So since i wasnt paying attention to anything but the wave i was on, i didnt realize this one dude trying to catch my wave. To avoid both of us losing the wave, i decide to pull out. and all to my knowledge i hit rocks in the water and get a huge cut on my shoulder.
School was a blast lol. i looked like a hobo when sharing my essay
lets see..friday wasnt as bad, until an old lady almost ran me over on my skateboard, i ended up flying into the air and making the cut on my shoulder bleed even more. I got ramen though and decided what longboard i want.
Airsoft. nuff said...if you dont understand me...go play a full auto game
then work from 3-9
Got into a fight and won :D i probably shouldnt be proud of that but I am. if anyone, I mean anyone tries to steal my grandmas bose earphones I will kick your ass. Ended up getting hit a couple of times, but the punch to my jaw is really killing me right now
then at night barnes and nobles to do homework.
all in all a good weekend

My new theory is to start the day in the best possible way you can, and if the rest of the day is shit, then oh well you had a kick ass morning =]
For me I got on my sector nine, which is basically a skateboard and rode around my neighborhood. =] ate shit yesterday but i didnt today so its great =]
