Know When You Need Stitches By Looking for These Signs
It's summer time, and that means we're all a bit more likely to end up with some random cuts while we're playing outside in the sun. Not all of those cuts need stitches though. The Wall Street Journal breaks down when you'll need them. »

It's never really Christmas for me until I see Dennis Quaid's better half, Randy Quaid, in one of his Cousin Eddie Christmas Vacation costumes.
Thinking about it, nothing would we make me happier on Christmas than to wake up in the morning, look outside, and see an asshole in their bathrobe emptying their RV waste into the sewer.
I would then have the honor in yelling out "Is your shitter full!!?". That would be the ultimate Christmas present.
Merry Christmas, kiss my ass. Kiss his ass. Kiss your ass. Happy Hanukkah.

[poll id="77"]
I support Ron Paul and think he won all the debates but this is "ronpaul.com" so that poll may be a little biased…then again why did anyone here vote for the other three? Ron Paul 2012!

FOX aired this show: "Illegal Everything" — well worth watching!
Shows how Americans are breaking the law daily, without knowing it, because of the hundreds of millions of rules and regulations. And how cops are using this as an excuse to arrest anybody for just about anything!

When that is that case, this has to show that people as a society have evolved to a point where the outdated laws and rules we've had since the founding of this country cannot work anymore. Technology/media has changed the world and we need to catch up. Tobacco companies and pharmacutical companies have a stranglehold, and people have the power to change this as consumers….become an intelligent and wise consumer… Also, Americans need to be able to stand a little pain….its going to suck during this transition….but America can prevail of we don't blow ourselves up or get into a conflict we don't need to

Ron Paul, Was #1 at the AZ Debates, + All the other Debates! He was Super & also had quick answers! Why, he's the only one who make any sense & knows from serving in Congress, being the only Veteran there.He knows what our country needs to get out Mess, debt, you name it. I sure hope people were listing to what he had to say closely.Those other 2 with all that Big money, act like this all is a game, between Them. It would have nice for the media to ask him the first question 1st.He was at the first chair. Why always start in the middle & then Mr. Paul last.Probably it's because, he had all the right answers to all the question asked. He wants to do whats best for all the people. He's a true, Honest Poitician. Also Hope everyone saw at the end, how that Arrogant one stood up & shook, Not a regular Nice Hand Shake.to Ron Paul while he was still sitting down.Didn't give him time to stand up. Very Poor Decision Rick. Camera's were still rolling.

'How to Chop Down the Tree of Liberty and Succeed': A Politician's Handbook (Chop it at the base, and the People may revolt, but a barely noticeable branch at a time, for as long as it takes, will work for sure).
In the beginning, the Citizens had the Freedom to walk all paths. Then Government decided that some paths are not good for the people, so closed off a few paths. Now, the People had Freedom to walk a few less paths. Encouraged by this, the Government passed even more laws telling the People what other things they cannot do (because it is for their own good). Pleased with the outcome — the Citizens' obedience — the Government went into the full-time business of Manufacturing Laws (rules, regulations).
Since Politicians produce nothing of intrinsic value — they found their calling in writing stuff on paper, telling people what not to do ("for their own good" of-course).
As of 2010, it is estimated that there are about 1/2 Billion Negative Laws/rules/regulations on the Books telling the People what they CANNOT DO upon threat of punishment (that's more Laws than there are US Citizens)!
Headlines at end of 2011 read: 40,000 New Laws in effect for 2012. Translation — 40,000 more paths each Citizen has lost the Liberty to walk. The crude graph below is for visual effect:
Are the Citizens this blind, not to see the end result — the eventual straight-and-narrow path Government wants to dictate its Subjects to walk….
Only Ron Paul is talking about this near complete erosion of our Freedoms — the rest are silent-partners-in-crime against our Liberty!

Ron Paul is the only one who is always left out of the debates he is the only one who gets it. The other 3 are ready to go to war with Iran when the republicans said Iraq had weapons of mass destruction we invaded and no weapons were found we can not afford another war like Iraq or Afganistan. What lessons have we learned from Viet Nam ? NONE What have we gained from all 3 wars ? NOTHING BUT DEAD AMERICANS. A we are doing is keeping them from killing each other because of thier hatred for one another.Wake up republicans your a joke and your debtes look like comedy central

This was by far the best debate for Ron Paul. Even though he didn't get as much airtime as Romney or Santorum, in this case it worked massively in his favour.
The moderator gave them both so much time to speak, they ended up contradicting themselves and showing inconsistencies and logical absurdities. RP was the most 'presidential', being above the fray of the petty bickering about whether the government should fund this vs that, and instead staying consistent and saying the government should not be involved. Period.

Until a friend of mine turned me on to Ron Paul, I had been completely turned off by anything that had to do with politics and the government, feeling hopeless that there would ever be an "honest politician". That this country was doomed with corrupt and evil ways beyond the peoples control. Listening to Ron Paul, makes me question how there can still be other GOP's running? Who or what did they do, to still have people backing them? There should be no question in anyones mind, no other GOP candidate can hold a candle to Ron Paul, he blows each and every one of them out of the water. He is my hero, he brings back hope to this country! Listen to how he actually answers questions in a straight forward, honest way that you can undertand, in fact, he makes perfect sence! Since when have we heard a politician do that? There is no comparison, I can't stress enough! If he does not win, then I will surely loose all hope in America and will fear what hell will be awaiting us. Martial Law, Prison Planet…it will be coming with a vengeance! America no more. Be afraid, be very afraid! Wake up! He is our only hope!!!!

"Because he's fake" Dr. Paul answers unabashedly! Wow! Such honesty. Such forthrightness. Such a lover of truth and unafraid to speak it freely. Man I'm starting to love this guy!!!! I hope Paul maintains this level of increased aggression. He's not mean spirited, but stern when he needs to be. Even on tough questions Paul leaned upon his faithful guide and gave the response, "It's not in the Constitution" (federal education funding, unjustly going to war, etc.) I loved the whole debate! Great job to the only "consistent" candidate Dr. Paul. We support you and freedom 100%!

Everyone knows at least a few monsters from mythology, cartoons, or,
dare we say it, D&D. But where are the multiheaded, man-eating
creatures of today? Where can we find our modern gorgons, harpies, and orcs? They're right in front of you – in the world of celebrity!
The Biebertaur
Created by mad old King Usher, this small, strange animal has the body of a boy but the head and voice of a ferret. Feared and ridiculed in equal measure, it is forever trapped in the labyrinth of its own confusing puberty.
The Snooken-
A screeching beast that rears up from the dark depths of the dance floor to drag unsuspecting men to their doom below. Famously capable of swallowing a ship of pickles whole.
The Centauration-
An unpredictable beast with the head and (always bare) torso of a man, but with the brains, charm, and impulse control of an angry rutting horse.
The Guyclops-
This spiky, brightly colored behemoth is so single-minded in its pursuit of off- the-hook chow, it doesn't even need depth perception, evolving with just a single eye.
The Kardashydra-
A voracious, multiheaded serpent that feeds on the souls of the slow and the easily amused. Virtually indestructible—ax one reality show and two more spring up in its place!
The Chartrumpdis-
An unfeeling monster that manifests itself as a whirling vortex of greed, sucking down anything that crosses its path.
The Gagusa-
A sad, lonely creature so desperate for attention it will literally wear a wig made of live snakes or a dress made of meat just to make you look at it. Its biggest weapon is its music, which is so totally soulless it can transform the most joyful man to stone.
The Sheenix-
A fascinating evolution of the original phoenix, the Sheenix combusts spectacularly in a large, colorful explosion of publicity, but rather than rise from the ashes, it chooses instead to spiral ever lower into self-parody.
The Perezasus-
With an inane whinny, the inexplicable being known as Perezasus takes wing, positions itself above mankind, and proceeds to drop an endless torrent of horseshit into its eyes.

|Gluten Fee Carrot Cake Blondieshttp://mjr.earthbalancenatural.com/recipe/gluten-free-carrot-cake-blondies/
I am entering these yummy Blondies in the Earth Balance Made Just Right recipe contest.
I've been a bit burnt out with blogging lately. My food has been kind of boring!. Basically, I've been eating leftover and soup and soup and more soup and a pasta stewish thing for days... and salad and my healthy banana bread with peanut butter.
My son has been at his dads almost all week, so it's been really simple here. The above dish was just brown rice pasta, white beans and veggies cooked in one pot all together. I had this for dinner two nights in a row.
Salad has rounded out my meals. I'm still doing the Mini Meal thing for the first part of the day, but at night I have a bigger meal. It seems to be working. I will weigh myself on the 21st.
I pressure cooked a pound of pintos last night, so I'm sure some good mexican food is in the future!
What are your favorite ways to eat Pinto Beans? Do you have any recipes you'd like to see using them?

link to the recipe
i'm gonna have to check out your blondies, Melody! they look amazing and i can't tell you how awesome it is that you make g-f vegan eats for everyone to enjoy. it's so nice to see so many recipes that everyone can gobble up! some days i get a little down be'n gluten-free, and it's posts like these that make me so happyfaced!ReplyDelete
sometimes simple meals are the best, and your brown rice pasta looks great - i'm dig'n the salad, too. i looooove salads, have even been known to eat them for breakfast.
my favorite thing to do with pinto beans is refried beans - and rancho beans. "hell yeah it's vegan" has the most amazing recipe for "rancho beans" and i use pintos and kidneys for it, make my own bbq sauce, too. it's the yummiest! pintos are my third favorite bean - before them come chickpeas and black-eyed peas, but i really love how versitile pintos are, and i adore their texture and flavor!
i have my fingers crossed for you!!!
Will have to check out that recipe the carrot cake looks scrumptious.ReplyDelete
I always think refried with pinto beans. A great sauce is a tin of chipotle chilis in adobo sauce blended up as a sauce. Add a little Daiya cheese and a corn tortilla and yum. I'm into easy.

"They can talk to us, but they can't talk to our parents."
Welcome to another fun filled informative episode of the Buffer Overflow Show! Join Joey Kelley and myself, Mat Lee as we change up the format this week and pull down some of the more interesting current news items from our personalized Google News feed. Sometimes it's fun to pretend to be news analysts, and since people look at me weird when I try to play dress up, it's the next best thing. Keep reading after the break for the full list of stories we discuss. Thanks for listening!
Be sure to join us every Tuesday evening on BOS TV and participate in the discussion live! The best way to get notified when we start the show is to follow the BOS Facebook page, BOS on Google+ and my Twitter.
Have you ever heard of Severed Fifth? Sure you have, because you were listening to BOS when we recorded an interview with him. That was episode nine. Well, we have a quick update and some great news! Severed Fifth's new album, "Liberate" is ready for your listening pleasure.
Let's quickly cover the whole Google Privacy Policy debacle. When I say debacle, don't get it twisted. The blame for this little white elephant of a lie remains with the mass media who, once again managed to create a story where there was none.
The only safe computer is one that's unplugged. I make my living "They can talk to us, but they can't talk to our parents."unplugging computers. What do you know about hacktivism ? This whole back and forth between Anonymous, Lulzsec and the government is very amusing. I believe Joey describe it as "cute."Being in the the eye of the media is not very anonymous. So word on the street is snitches get stitches. What would you do? Leave a comment or post in the forums and let's talk about it. Here is another article about it.
Speaking of hacking, if you want to read an awesome book, check out Ghost in the Wire by Kevin Mitnick. It's a great read! The movie version is called "Takedown" and it came out in 2000.
Who are the richest of the rich in the technology industry? Let's take a look and discuss. Companies do make money in silicone valley, don't get it twisted. Do you have any clue how much money is there? More than enough. Anyone have some extra scratch or want to show some appreciation for what we do, feel free to hit up the BOS donate page.

Admin Bar Disapears
I know there are a lot of topics on this subject, however, after following each instruction found in them, I still have the issue. I changed my theme to Jooc Buddypress Theme, I use WordPress 3.0.1 Buddypress 184.108.40.206 . When I installed the Jooc Theme, my admin bar disappeared, now I can't get it back. I did do some looking around and found that it does seem to be working in the dashboard, just not on the main page. I find that it is called in the Themes Functions. My footer does have hook. Everything seems to look right, however it doesn't work. Help ME PLEASE!
Thank you in advance.

Weather Averages for Sicily in January
Averages for Sicily in January
Weather lowdown
Sicily is the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea, located west just off the south coast of Italy. The island enjoys a Mediterranean climate, much like Agrigento, with long, hot summers and short, mild winters. Rain is common throughout each month, which keeps Sicily in bloom all year round.
January is one of the coldest and wettest times to visit Sicily. Temperatures rarely reach above 13°C during the day and they can drop as low as 8°C after sunset so plenty of warm clothing is needed.
Dates for the diary
If you visit Sicily in January you might just be in time to enjoy Sagra della sfincia di priescia in Montelepre. This is a town festival dedicated to a sweet dish typical of the area. During January there will be various stalls offering the sfincia sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar that you can try for free.
Things to do
Ex Stabilimento Florio in Florio is a great place to spend a rainy day. This building used to be a tuna canning factory and is now a place brimming with architecture, art and history. The museum is completely free to enjoy and is one of the most popular attractions in Sicily.
Syracuse Cathedral (also known as the Temple of Athena) is a unique Christian cathedral built from the ruins of ancient Greek temples. Inside, tourists can see ancient Greek ruins seamlessly blended in a renaissance building and infused with Christian imagery and artistic styles. The Cathedral is free to visit.
Where to eat & drink
Al Vicoletto is arguably Trapani's best and swankiest restaurant. The food here is meticulously cooked and will satisfy even the most discerning tastes. The restaurant is known for organising special event nights and for being family friendly; despite being a fine dining establishment. The prices are fairly high compared to most other restaurants in the area but you won't find better food in Trapani.
Make sure you stop by Pasticceria Capriccio at least once during your stay. This amazing bakery offers freshly-prepared pastries, cakes and biscuits of all types. If you're lucky, you might be invited to sample a few before choosing one. Highlights include cannolis, cockles marzipans and lots more.
La Madia is a contemporary Italian restaurant that specialises in modern pasta dishes as well as creative renditions of classical Italian favourites. The restaurant is family-friendly, extremely welcoming and serves delicious fresh seafood pasta. Buon Appetito!
Located in a beautiful neighbourhood in Palermo, Malox is a rock style cocktail bar attached to a local brewery. This unconventional bar attracts a mixed and friendly crowd and is well known for an up-beat, laid-back atmosphere.
Where to stay
Couples and families looking for a winter break in Sicily should take a look at the Hotel Riva del Sole. Overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, this stylishly furnished hotel offers a wealth of facilities and has various rooms to suit all budgets and group sizes.
The Disio Resort is a fantastic golf and spa retreat. The hotel's spa is impressive and offers a wide array of treatments including numerous different massage styles, aromatherapy, yoga classes and many more. The golf is highly rated, too.
Casa Vacanze "Monovano Centro Storico" offers affordably swish guest house accommodation in high ceiling, multi room apartments. This relatively large guesthouse focuses on quality to deliver a quiet, relaxing and home-from-home atmosphere. The décor is minimalist and definitely inspired by Italian and Sicilian themes.

Facebook's power, and its curse, is this holistic treatment of personhood. All the careful tailoring we do to ourselves (and to our selves) -- to be, say, professional in one context and whimsical in the other -- dissolves in the simmering singularity of the Facebook timeline. The circumstantially mediated relationships typical of IRL interactions -- you see your boss at work, your friend after work, your mother-in-law at Thanksgiving -- are mediated instead by one overarching, and overpowering, circumstance: Facebook. Suddenly, Work You is the same as Family You is the same as Friend You (is the same as Gym You is the same as Cooking Class You is the same as Trip to Thailand You is the same as Road Trip You is the same as Words With Friends You is the same as Happy Hour You). The You itself -- which is to say, you yourself -- gets flattened, condensed, homogenized. Contextual personhood gives way to comprehensive personhood. You become, for better or for worse, universal.*Michael Zimmer - Facebook's Zuckerberg: "Having two identities for yourself is an example of a lack of integrity"
Which: stressful! Because, as liberating as it is to erase the divides that separate formerly fractured identities -- as nice in theory and in practice as it is to live an all-purpose, one-size-fits-all existence -- the mingling comes with costs.
Among people I'm friends with on Facebook at least, any public presence has descended to posting articles and cool things and the least possibly controversial statements about work or school. They're incredibly guarded about stirring up controversy or revealing personal information due to all of that mentioned above.
I'm not a smug non-user, or ex-user. I just don't open it anymore. I'm sure people are wondering where I've gone, although I assume there are automated systems in place still letting my "friends" know what I'm listening to on Spotify, or whatever.No offense, but you find the minutia of others' lives annoying, yet you intentionally let everyone know what song you're listening to at every moment?
The constant stream of the minutae of others lives was stressful and numbing - maybe I'm a sociopath, but I just got sick of giving a shit.
I assume there are automated systems in place still letting my "friends" know what I'm listening to on Spotify, or whatever.Jesus, WTF are you thinking? Who the hell do you think cares what song you're listening to?
Automated. He assumes there are automated systems in place.You have to intentionally let that stuff do its thing with Facebook. Or at least in my experience. I've never used Spotify, but I've also never run into a service I've used which somehow automatically hooked up with Facebook without my explicit approval.

UPDATED, 10:32 p.m. There was little in the way of either drama or mercy Monday night.
Georgia Tech treated Alabama State the way an ACC team ought to handle an opponent from the Southwestern Athletic Conference, dispensing a 75-41 thrashing of the Hornets at McCamish Pavilion.
The game grew loose at times, but the Yellow Jackets exploited their advantages in size, athleticism and cohesion for most of the 40 minutes.
"We wanted to play our game the whole game and take them out early," forward Robert Carter said.
In their first game after completing final exams, the Jackets clubbed the Hornets with a 19-2 run midway through the first half that provided a 20-point lead. Tech was never threatened thereafter. The performance drew in comparison to Tech's last game, in which the Jackets permitted an inferior UNC-Wilmington team to nearly steal a win out of McCamish before closing the game out.
The 34-point margin of victory is the largest in coach Brian Gregory's tenure, surpassing a 33-point win over Florida A&M last season.
Tech improved to 7-2 and has won three in a row. The Jackets have two separate three-game winning streaks for the first time since the 2009-10 season, the last time Tech had a winning record and also qualified for the NCAA tournament. They'll attempt to extend the streak to four games, which would also be a first since the '09-'10 season, Saturday at home against the Citadel.
Alabama State, which entered the game ranked 314th in RPI according to realtimerpi.com, fell to 1-9. The Hornets are among the least effective teams in Division I at rebounding, taking care of the ball, scoring and, not surprisingly, winning.
Carter was the most effective player on the floor, active and focused. He fought for rebounds, challenged shots in the post and on the perimeter and ran the floor for transition baskets. The freshman finished with 13 points on 6-for-9 shooting and a game-high 11 rebounds, a career high. It was his first double-double as a Jacket.
"Carter's just so athletic and crashes the boards, shoots it from the outside, nice post moves," Alabama State coach Lewis Jackson said. "Just a tough cover for us both in the man and zone."
Guard Brandon Reed led the Jackets with a game-high 14 points, including two 3-pointers, to go with four assists against one turnover. Guard Mfon Udofia scored 12 points on 4-for-5 shooting from 3-point range.
Gregory took satisfaction in the effort, particularly the team's 51-30 rebounding edge, 20 assists on 29 baskets and Alabama State shooting 25 percent from the field. Tech had been outrebounded in its previous five games before Monday.
"We came out with a sense of urgency, which will always lead to good things," Gregory said.
The game was noteworthy as the debut of early enrollee freshman Solomon Poole, who entered the game with 6:10 remaining in the game. As might be of expected of a player who had had two practices with his team before Monday, Poole appeared out of sync with his teammates and perhaps overeager, committing three turnovers in his six minutes. He scored his first two points as a Jacket at the line, banking home two free throws.
"He's got a lot to learn," Gregory said.
After the game, Gregory informed media that freshman guard Corey Heyward, who tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in June, tore the same ligament again in an unsupervised workout. He had surgery and will begin his rehabilitation again.
"He'll start the rehab right away," Gregory said. "Sometimes, these things happen and he's a tough kid. He'll come back full strength as soon as he possibly can."
Updated: Guard Jason Morris did not dress for the game, as he is suffering from plantar fasciitis, an inflammation of the arch. He is considered day-to-day.

What's going on with Morris? He was on the bench in street clothes. Injured or transfer? I'd guess transfer
December 17th, 2012

To Paul: About Morris. Transfer? Seriously? No he didnt transfer. He has played since he got here as a freshman. Dont post dumb questions on here.

7-2. Hell yeah. Make it 8-2 Saturday. Go Jackets!

OK genius – why wasn't Morris playing? You do know how transfers work don't you? Players who aren't getting the minutes they think they deserve and are looking at several people ahead of them in the rotation look to transfer after the 1st semester. As exhibit A, I give you Stacey Poole, Jr.

Well, it's fun to pulverize an opponent, and on Saturday Tech gets to slam dunk The Citadel. But just go to the RPI index for basketball and see where these programs (Alabama State and The Citadel) are. Citadel occupies place number 346 — dead last, bottom place of the RPI ratings.
The only hope you have to recover from playing programs this bad is to have a coach that tells you, you should have played better, should have done this, should have done that, so things stay in perspective. It only gets harder from January on. I think coach Gregory knows just how to get the team to forget the easy prey and begin to fear the pounding they just might receive if they get too soft because of their pretty much cupcake schedule so far.
And what the heck is wrong with J Royal? Last year he was a shining light in a dismal though rebuilding season, and tonight — he FOULS OUT and looks like a klutz all over the court. I'm hoping he doesn't travel this road too long.

I'm not sure but I thought I heard one of the anouncers say Morris was a litttle sick, I think it was a foot problem, please don't quote me. Paul in NH, don't be a dud, don't get on this site saying silly things,this isn't bulldog nation.
December 17th, 2012
9:52 pm
Paul, he wouldn't have been on the bench had he decided to transfer. The announcers said he was unavailable due to illness.

Yes CC, J. Royal ran around the court like his pants were on fire, he clearly wasn't in the game (maybe he was thinking about his last exam answers/lol) Now CC, I understand what you're say about Tech games, but they schedules those game last year, TECH didn't know they were going to be that bad, me myself, anybody they beat I'm happy because of the years before Coach G., if we played Mickey Mouse and beat him bad I don't have a problem with that /lol……the football team doesn't give us much hope for a real winner.

Great game for the Jackets! I was a little disappointed though watching Poole play his first game. I wasn't too worried about how he played. Being a little sluggish is expected when you just joined the team and you came in near the end of the game. The disappointment came with his attitude out there. After making turnovers he would hang his head and shout expletives. At the end of the game he wouldn't even shake his own teammates hands. Instead he just walked away all pissed off. Look at the scoreboard man! Your team just won. Be more of a team player and your own personal game will start to get better. Hopefully he'll shake off the nerves or whatever that was. Go Jackets!

At least we are blowing out weak teams like we should. Hewitt teams would have found a way to make this game competitive. I love what I see with BG

These kids will be 10-2 going into ACC play. I fear they will be a little over confident and get a rude awakening against Miami. If they do drop a couple early ACC games to Miami and NCSU I hope they can keep their composure and bounce back strong.

Steve and CC, where are the bad attitudes coming from? We just beat a team by 34 and held them to 1 point for close to ten minutes and you have a problem with that! Oh and anyone who was there tonight if they have any basketball knowledge can tell that Solomon Poole is the real deal! His defense was physical, quick, and intimidating. His offense was Strong and confident. Did you see him drive to the basket and draw three defenders on him and dish to Holsey with them hanging all over him? Very impressive player! Oh and get off Royal's case, he is working hard and starting to fill his role. Overall, the team is growing and getting better every game! Good crowd tonight with the students gone and a lot of highlights against a weaker team, very entertaining! By the way, St.Marys was in the tournament last year and we shut them out for 8minutes of the second half and held their star to 5 points for the game. No cupcake there or Cal or Illinois! Go Jackets!

Well, well, a Tech sports story leads off in the AJC. Must have been a REAL slow local sports day in the ATL, But then, it WAS Monday night, right before Christmas, high school football is over and the local pro roundball team had the night off.
But, hey! Thanks a bunch, there, AJC. Scraps are tasty too!
December 18th, 2012

Watching Poole on the bench during the game and when he played, honestly, he looked like a kid that was playing HS ball last week. I can imagine, even for a superstar, the turnaround that quick might be a little overwhelming. The big arena, the crowd, the expectation. And I am sure he was a little nervous even though he wouldn't admit it. Probably mad at himself for not playing great, after he got the biggest ovation of the night so far when he took the floor. I think he's gonna be a good player for us this year, and I do think it will help when his brother is there playing as well. Go Jackets!

Hey Paul read the article last paragraph
December 18th, 2012
7:33 am
Went to the game last night and I need to vent in hopes that someone at TECH will read this and take a few of the items in to consideration.
Made a late day decision to take in the game. Fought nasty traffic and was right at game time getting to the ticket gate. Missed the first six game time minutes due to waiting in line because there was only one of numerous ticket windows open. As expected, paid $12.00 for $5.00 worth of junk food(I know this is a given at all arenas but still need to bi*** about it). Had to climb over six people to get to my seats whille there were four empty rows in front of us, CLOSER to the court. After the game we walked back to our car, which was parked in a wide open parking lot due to no students being on campus and a spot I have used for years to attend night games, only to find a $50.00 ticket from the TECH parking Nazis.
And my alma mater wonders why attendence suffers a times.
I love Tech, but I will spend the next game in my recliner.
Am I way off base with this rant? What say you?
December 18th, 2012
7:38 am
Come on guys. Tech hasn't played a decent team yet. I'm a dire hard Jacket but let's face it we haven't entered the ACC schedule yet. I hope we can go .500 in the league and win one tournament game. Realistically, we're looking at a NIT berth. But that's ok with this young team. Next year we will be better and probably go to the NCAA tournament. Don't get excited just because we beat inferior teams..
December 18th, 2012
8:00 am
Like the way we are coming along. Poole (lil brother) needs to grow up kwik…..still acting like a HS spoh on the floor. Let the game come to you kid, u aint a wolrd beater yet….Go Jackets!
December 18th, 2012
8:14 am
Tech Man-
Where have you been the past few years? Georgia Tech basketball was officially dead. We were losing to inferior teams. We had no alumni support. We had no past player support. The kids played with no emotion and zero fundamentals. Brian Gregory, his staff and his recruits are starting to polish some of the tarnish off our guilded history. No one on this message board is crowning them ACC champs yet. Are you saying you wouldn't be excited with an NIT berth in only his second season? And without a one-and-done? Favors got us into the tournament a few years back…not the team and definitely not the coach.
I AM EXCITED when I see our team play with such enthusiasm and hussle on defense. I AM EXCITED when I see our coach doing things the right way. I AM EXCITED when I see our coach on campus at other events drumming up support for his team. I AM EXCITED about the FUTURE of Tech basketball!
December 18th, 2012
8:21 am
It is hard to tell when you play an outclassed opponent but Tech was pressing on turnovers much better than they have in the past. It obviously won't be as easy against better competition, but at least Gregory has recognized it as a weak point and made an emphasis to get better. And, while I hate it for the kid, I'll be shocked if Royal is wearing a Tech uniform this time next year.
December 18th, 2012
8:24 am
Until Tech starts winning consistently in football and beat UGA more, they will always be second fiddle. Gotta start winning, period.
December 18th, 2012
8:33 am
Tech Man, in a few games, we will probably have more wins already this year than all of last year! Be positive. I can understand negativity while Hewitt was here – we were all negative. But the change is great and Gregory is doing the right things. EVERYONE plays cupcakes at this time of the year. EVERYONE. We won by nearly 30. Why is that not good enough. You set your sights on the NIT – I set them on the NCAA. The ACC is tough but, this year, it is beatable.
December 18th, 2012
9:16 am
you beat a 1-9 350 rpi team and some act like they are good. haha
December 18th, 2012
9:20 am
It was a good win over an inferior opponent. My comments:
Holsey is our best player…for now.
Carter Jr is our best talent. He showed plenty of skills last night. And hey, took only one 3pt shot and made it.
Poole, in his limited exposure, showed the natural ability to have some highlights upcoming. Can't wait to see his brother on the court as well.
Love the new McTitty Dome! The lighting puts all the focus on the floor and you don't pay attention to the empty seats. It wasn't a great crowd (it's a Monday night and school is on break) but the arena doesn't feel empty or cold like it used to on similar nights.
GT BBall is on the way up folks. Come on board and enjoy the ride because in the near future its going to be fantastic.

I love this T.E.A.M. (Total Effort by All Members) ! A couple of the players could get all puff-ed up with themselves, and be selfish and perhaps show some superstar ego, but that is not what we need at this time. Keep working. Without egos taking over, looking after each other and playing like a "team", continuring hard work, good things are in store for success. There will be time to look back and clebrate after the fact.
December 18th, 2012
9:30 am
So it was not a very strong team and the ACC schedule is much tougher. However, as others have said, it's refreshing to see the team play with enthusiam and do some of the things (inbounding & shooting free throws) they were not doing under the previous coach. This team really appears to be headed in the right direction. And Tech fans are generally a patient lot if they see improvement in a team's effort and execution. I wish the trend was as obvious for football especially the execution part.
December 18th, 2012
9:33 am
Hey "Veteran Fan" – I don't know where Poole's bad attitude is coming from. That is what I'm trying to figure out too! His team just played a great game and won. I also believe that he's a great athlete.. I just want to make sure he keeps a good "team player" attitude out there and doesn't mess with our team chemistry which has been working great so far! Can't wait for ACC play to start up!

I said "prove it" to Tech basketball and they did.
So I followed up the 2 game package with an ACC package.
I'm saying that to the football program now.
Prove it that u can play defense.
We can only go so far with good offense and crummy D and STs.
We have the problem to have with our basketball program.
We have to keep from getting too far ahead of ourselves with excitement.
December 18th, 2012
11:03 am
At the game last night…and not a good first impression of Poole…no excuse for not hustling, walking back up the court on defense, pouting after a mistake so you stop playing while the ball is still in play, acting like it was the team mates fault that you threw a bad pass, and please tell me he always uses the glass at the line….
December 18th, 2012
11:20 am
Swampjacket–I'll just bet that the coaches saw the same you did. I also bet they will start today working on it. Remember Bobby Hurley at Dook many years ago? He was an absolute mess(sour puss , hang dog, etc. Coaches showed him films of himself and guess what? He turned out to be pretty good.Thats what good coaches do , they coach and that means skills as well as attitude.Rhey will correct that problem one way or another–if you get my meaning.
December 18th, 2012

O'Keefe- Believe me, I hope your right….but hustle and attitude are hard to coach…Again, I hope I'm completely wrong, but it was uncomfortably obvious last night!
December 18th, 2012

Amazing game, but both teams were very careless with the basketball. Looking forward to conference play!
December 18th, 2012
12:11 pm
Tech seems to have "figured out" how to win the rebounding battle…just give it to the point guard and let him shoot a three! Nothing but net = no rebound.
Perhaps young just-from-highschool kid was (over) trying to make a great first impression. And, that was for sure a different type free throw method.
Fun game.
December 18th, 2012
12:39 pm
good game/solid, still can't shoot but better. aside from that, anyone other than me thinks that former a.d. rad. took the job to oversee his son's education? he's a floater…..

And what the heck is wrong with J Royal? Last year he was a shining light in a dismal though rebuilding season, and tonight — he FOULS OUT and looks like a klutz all over the court
He's grown ~2-3 inches since last year, as far as I can tell. He may even be taller than Carter. I think Royal is trying to figure out what his game is now that he's PF sized.
December 18th, 2012
1:27 pm
Uh-oh…..Mercer just got upset by the dwags.
December 18th, 2012
1:55 pm
Royal still growing and that will take some time for him to get used to. He also looks like he is physically maturing and bulking up as well. Looks like he's trying to do too much instead of letting the game come to him. He needs to continue to work on his game and stop pressing. His time will come if he keeps his attitude and work ethic in the right direction.

In the Baby Zone with Matthew Settle
Spotted: Matthew Settle as a devoted dad to daughter Aven (born March 2009). Between being a father in real life as well as playing one on the hit show Gossip Girl, Settle knows a bit about parenting. Here he shares with us the best advice he's ever received, what he can't live without, and how he knows when he's in the Baby Zone.
What's your golden rule of parenting?
Do unto your children as you'd have done to you. Treat them they way you would want to be treated when having your diaper changed … you have to quote me on that one [laughs].
Describe the best moment of parenting so far.
There's so many. Now that she's talking, we had a really fun moment where we were talking about living on the planet earth and she understood what the moon was. We just finished watching a Dora video, or something like that, and she was like, "Space?" And I showed her what an astronaut was and I showed her Google Earth and where we live in our apartment. After that she was showing everybody on the street, "Space!"
And the worst?
Whenever she gets injured. There's that moment where you wonder if they are going to be OK. One time she fell. You know when their body stops for a second and they have to catch their breath … you have that moment where you wonder, "How bad is it?" That's a tough moment.
Best advice you ever got?
To guide and not to push.
What's the one thing you can't live without?
Right now, the pacifier. We've got to start weaning her off. It's her friend—she loves it. But [weaning her] is definitely coming.
Finish this sentence: You know you're in the Baby Zone when…
… you reach into your jacket pocket and pull out a baby wipe or a pacifier.

Most of the time, when I get calls for computer help I can usually figure out how to fix things out instinctively. Why? Well because I examine the contents of the different menus looking for the option that will most likely get me closer to my goal (while keeping in mind whatever it is I'm trying to do).
As an added bonus, just about every program out there that has pull down menus have "Help" listed as the last one to the right. So, by the time I get to the last pull down menu I can always open that programs help file and do a search on what I'm trying to do. The help file will then list all the topics that contain whatever words I searched on and from there I can usually figure out how to take the next step.
Let's take a look at this in an example. Let's say I'm writing my column with a typical word processing program and I wanted to make the next line that I type bold and larger. Let's also say that I only have a very basic understanding of computers. At this point I have two choices, I can stare at the screen with a blank expression and then call Bob (who's pretty good with computers) and ask him or, I can start looking around the screen for something that may help me reach my goal.
As I move my mouse (and my eyes!) around the screen I notice a couple of things; first at the top of the screen, above where the words are being typed, there are (usually) rows pull down menus and buttons available. And, as I move my mouse slowly over the buttons, little boxes pop up telling me what each button does. When I click on the "File" option it opens (or "pulls down") and I can see all of the commands that are available that have to do with Filing. As I move my mouse to the right, the File pull down menu closes and the Edit menu opens displaying all of the commands available for editing.
Next the View pull down menu opens and then the Insert menu opens. As each menu opens I look at all the options available and for each one I ask myself, "Does this option look like it will help me change my text to bold and larger?" And as each menu does not present an option I go on to the next one eventually getting to the "Format" pull down menu.
When Format opens, I see it lists Bullets and numbering... Borders and shading... and what's this? Font?? Hmmm.... Let me think... I'm trying to change the formatting of my text and text is made up of "fonts," Thinking I may be on the right track, I click the Fonts option and a screen opens that allows me to change the characteristics of the type. Bingo! Exactly what I am looking for! It says I am typing in Times New Roman, Regular, Size 12. I change the specs to Times New Roman, Bold, Size 14, click OK and voila! My typing is now larger and darker.
Ok, so, that rather tame demonstration is just an example of how intuitive computing works; at no time did I ever get the urge to go get a book or call tech support for help, I kept in mind what I was trying to do and, after seeing what options were available, discovered the answer on my own. Instinctively.
Now, I know what a lot of you are thinking; that the things you have trouble doing are far more complex than just changing the characteristics of text, how can this possibly help me? And to that I answer the lesson is not in how to change the font size, the lesson is where to go for your answers!
Notice that the pull down menus I looked at were all within the program I was using. You should look at the menus and options available within the program where you are stuck. Also notice that each pull down menu is a category; all filing options are under "File" and we found our Font options under the "Format" pull down menu. That was no coincidence. I would have been very surprised to find the Fonts option under the File pull down menu but starting at File and moving to the right covers all the bases and rapidly gets you familiar with all the menus available.

Life & Style Weekly Ups Rate Base
Here's a bright spot in the magazine world: celebrity weekly Life & Style is increasing its rate base 12.5 percent — to 450,000 — effective immediately.
Although there were fears earlier this year that celebrity weeklies' newsstand sales were suffering due to the recession, stories like Jon and Kate Gosselin's failing marriage and Michael Jackson's death have breathed new life into the celeb tabloids.
Life & Style's group publisher Mark Oltarsh said the magazine's circulation "has been trending in a very positive direction" during the first half of the year, warranting the rate base increase. Oltarsh attributed the increase to the magazine's strengthened celebrity coverage under the leadership of Editor-in-Chief Dan Wakeford, who joined the mag in October.
Wakeford said he wanted to balance "celebrity escapism and practical style advice," introducing new columns like "The 10 Best Dressed Stars of The Week" and "What I Really Eat," which asks celebrities to give a run down of their diets. Life & Style has also had a few exclusive "gets" this year, including a Kate Gosselin interview after she got caught on camera spanking one of her eight kids.
And Life & Style isn't the only magazine with good news recently. Earlier this week, Parenting magazine announced it was upping its rate base as well.
Life & Style's full release after the jump.

Review: The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3
The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3
Directed by Tony Scott
By Tony Sheppard
Capitol Weekly
In the early-mid 70's, my father subscribed to the Reader's Digest Condensed Book series. This was my introduction to "The Taking of Pelham One Two Three," "Jaws" and assorted other titles. I remember liking the story and, later, I enjoyed the 1974 film adaptation starring Walther Matthau and Robert Shaw. I don't recall watching the 1998 TV remake, which, based on web comments, may have been a good thing, but it's fair to say that this 2009 adaptation had to fill some pretty big shoes from my adolescence.
It's a different film for a different time – there's more blatant violence than I remember. John Travolta, as the lead subway hijacker, is unsympathetic and coarse. Denzel Washington, as the subway controller who takes the initial call (changed from a traffic cop in the original), is an overworked civil servant in the wrong seat at the wrong time. And a lot has changed in over three decades. You can't realistically tell a story about a subway hijacking in New York City, or perhaps anywhere, without the subject of terrorism entering the screenplay, even if only as a source of fear.
But despite the differences and updates, the movie still works. It's well-acted and tautly directed in real time, with neat action and solid secondary characters, including John Turturro as a hostage negotiator and James Gandolfini as the mayor. The basic plot elements remain the same, with the complexity and fears associated with the capture of a subway train under busy city streets being as compelling now as ever. Thirty-plus years later, "Jaws" still scares me when I'm swimming, and "Pelham" still entertains me.

Baggallini Bon Voyage Bagg 2 2
I *love* my purchase! The Baggallini Bon Voyage Bagg was exactly what I was looking for. Multiple pockets, cross body, room for everything I plan on taking. I won't use it until August, but have already put everything I'm taking in it with excellent results. The mushroom color is a beautiful taupe, the nylon should be a breeze to keep clean. The only addition I would have liked would have been to have it outfitted with the slash-proof body and strap available on other Travel Smith bags. Even so, I'm *very* pleased with this bag. June 25, 2014
Practical for travel The pen holders are deep enough, yea! It does have convenient spots, with security, for plane traveling necessities. Not sure it will be a practical bag for everyday when not traveling. The bag has a smaller central volume space than i had hoped it would have. The built in credit card slots are not deep enough nor wide enough. Sturdy fabric, should last for many trips. May 5, 2014
