"No comment on Telluric Currents? This is the most confusing talent for me. Is it supposed to be a way for us to regen mana? "
If you're a holy paladin and you need mana, you walk over to the boss and you melee him for a few swings. Because most holy paladins stack int you get lots of mana back from a few Seal of Wisdom hits. Now, you can't do it with every boss, i.e. Gormok, but it's a very good regen mechanic.
GC stated that they liked this mechanic rather than just using passive abilities (totem, plea, innervate, etc..) and they decided to apply it to other healing classes. Y'all become more op and get to do it from range. :P

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
An excellent education, with small classes, and attention to each child. I have 3 children here and have been thrilled with the education they have received for the last 8 years. Likewise, the attention on the athletics, extracurriculars and the focus on Biblical principles are excellent additions to round out the whole child.
Run as fast as you can away from this school. The teachers, staff, assistants, parents, etc. all talk about you and your child behind your back. This is the most NON-CHRISTIAN environment I have ever seen. Public school is more Christian than this place. Heed the warnings of the other reviews. The headmaster has no leadership ability whatsoever. He lets those that line his pocket run the school. Just ask who all is on the school board there. All very fake people working there. No sincerity.
We chose to send our son to FBCS for middle school. It has been a wonderful experience. The quality of education that he has received the last two years has exceeded our expectation. We have been the "magnet" route with two older siblings and just did not want to do that again. I love that the staff is so available and willing to help solve any problems that you may be experiencing. We are not a wealthy family and yes, the school is expensive. But, it has been money very well spent. I WISH they still went through high school! I noticed at both of my daughters high school graduations that students who attended FBCS were always among the top percent of graduates. I'm so thankful to have the opportunity to send my son here. It's a great thing when teachers love your child and actually KNOW who you are.
Unless you are very wealthy, STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE ! Not much of a "Christian" environment.
Glorified daycare for "elite" kids. As others have noted, if you are not part of the "elite" clique of well-to-do parents, you and your child will be ostracized. Don't be fooled by their affiliation with the adjacent church; there are students who engage in less than Christ-like behavior and their bullying is ignored (even tolerated!) by the administration. One reviewer commented that the school is headed by a "soft-spoken, Christian man". My experience through the years has been the exact opposite. In fact, I agree with the review from July 11, 2012 - "poor supervision and weak leadership". Your child's education and wellbeing are too important than to subject him to the frustration of FBCS. If you do decide to tour this school, be very wary and try to look past the smiles and platitudes of the administration. Our experience has been that they don't really care about you or your child. Just your money.
I cannot recommend this school. We had a very negative experience with First Baptist Church School, due to poor supervision of students and weak leadership.
We started First Baptist in Pre-School and planned to move to a magnet school when my daughter was old enough but fell in love with this school! We are getting a great education, have made friends we will keep for a lifetime and my kids have been loved on for 10 years! It is such a loving environment and the small classroom sizes have made the attention my children get from their teachers something we could never get anywhere else. All in a Christian environment where they have learned to serve Christ and others daily.
We were at this school for 8 years...the negative review from 2005 is still relevant today unfortunately. If you are not involved with the parent cliques that rule here, you and your children will be ostracized. So much happier now that we are gone!
Have 1 child that has been there from K-3 to 1st grade and still loves it. My baby will start K-3 in August. We all love it and all of the teachers so far.
I have been a First Baptist Parent since 1992. My three children attended First Baptist since kindergarten (K5) and loved it. As a parent I loved the Christian atmosphere and excellent education and the small class sizes. My second child is Dyslexic and they have the resources to help at the school, which was wonderful. The teachers are wonderful and caring. My youngest child will graduate next year ending our time at First Baptist. It will be sad. We have been there through four headmasters. I read with interest the comment of the post of 1/16/05, we now have a fine soft spoken Christian headmaster who knows the children by name. He truly has the school's best interest at heart. FBCS is a wonderful school.
An excellent academic and social environment
We have had 2 of our 3 children graduate from FBCS with outstanding grades and test scores and have excelled in Caddo Magnet High School and now in college. Our 3rd child is also excelling and we are pleased with her overall grades and test scores. We attribute all of this to the fine teaching staff and the small class sizes where each child receives additional attention,if needed. We have also been particularly impressed with the nurturing attitude of the faculty and staff. Our children have always felt loved and safe at school and that has always made us feel comfortable each morning when we dropped them off. They each have been challenged academically and have been given many opportunities to be involved in various extracurricular activities. Overall, we have been extremely pleased with the past 16 years that we have been involved with First Baptist Church School!
We have had three children now graduate from this fine school. All three excelled in high school and two are now doing excellent in college (one is still in high school.) We are so thankful for the strong Christian and educational foundation our children received from FBCS. The expectations from the faculty and students allow for a great educational experience.We am so thankful for the well-rounded education our children recieved. Music, arts, sports and other extracurricular activities are very much included in this school's programs. Parents are strongly involved from driving for field trips to prayer groups to being a room parent, etc. My children to this day talk about the wonderful experiences they encounterd at FBCS. Scholarships are available.
We are pleased with the teaching staff at First Baptist. However you need a law and Phyc degree to bypass the political regime that heads the school. The leadership from the church and administration lacks the Christian beliefs, which hinders the learning process. If you are not made of money and lots of it you will not last long. In the past few years the 'founders' have all been forced to retire or go elsewhere and the long-term outlook is not in a Childs best interest without stability. Don't be snowballed by the tour! Look deeper into the certifications.
I am very pleased with the education my children received at First Baptist Church School. The personal attention, discipline and study habits they aquired allowed them to earn very high grades in both high school and college. The Christian atmosphere helps promote respect of other people and also helps to develop moral character. I highly recommend this school.

"Reinard said...
I think you missed the point of those changes entirely, then..."
Ummmm Reiinard... not sure if you noticed the name of this particular Breakfast Topic, but the point is to point out where you've missed the point. Pointing out that someone missed the point at this point is just a silly point, so I hate to point it out, but you've obviously completely missed the point of this blog.
Instead of trolling, why not answer Elmo's question if you have brilliantly figured out all things Hunterish. Elmo would probably appreciate the help, and I wouldn't have to point out your asshat behavior.

Parenteau Out 4-To-6 Weeks With Right Knee Injury
Colorado Avalanche forward P.A. Parenteau will miss at least four weeks with a right knee injury, coach Patrick Roy said Tuesday after a team workout.
Rookie MacKinnon Has Avs In Thick Of Playoff Race
Nathan MacKinnon squirmed a bit in front of his locker and tugged on the brim of his Colorado Avalanche ball cap, a little uncomfortable with any sort of comparison to the Great One.
Roy's Objective: 'Surprise The World Of Hockey'
Colorado is in the mix for one of the top playoff seeds in the Western Conference, and first-year coach Patrick Roy thinks the Avalanche are one of the NHL's biggest surprises.
Avalanche Gets Big 4-2 Win Over Blackhawks
Tyson Barrie scored a tiebreaking power-play goal with 7:10 left in the third period, and the Avalanche beat the Chicago Blackhawks 4-2 on Tuesday night for their third straight win.
MacKinnon Calls His First Pro Season 'Surreal'
If the Avalanche's season ended right now, they would have 18-year-old Nathan MacKinnon at the top of their list goal scorers.
Avs Move Practice Time Up So They Can Watch U.S. Vs. Canada In Sochi
After 10 days off, the Colorado Avalanche, minus their Olympians, got back to work Thursday morning. Head Coach Patrick Roy worked the team hard. If fact, the practice almost had a training camp feel to it.

Action moves to the Premadasa Stadium
Colombo: The Indian cricket team will aim to pick up the pieces after a disastrous performance in the last match and get their campaign back on track when they take on hosts Sri Lanka in the third ODI to be held here on Saturday.
After a couple of contrasting performances in the two matches at Hambantota where Men in Blue first won comfortably by 21 runs before being soundly thrashed by nine wickets, the action moves to the familiar territory of Premadasa Stadium here.
Skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni is not very fond of tinkering with his playing XIs but he now seriously needs to think as to how many more chances does Rohit Sharma deserve in order to prove that he is a regular match-winner like Virat Kohli or even fairly consistent on sub-continental tracks like Suresh Raina.
The Mumbai batsman had scores of 1 and 0 in the first two matches where he was out in identical fashion chasing a delivery away from his body to be played on.

The Nancy Hanks Lincoln Memorial, Phase I
The land acquired, the state began its initial phase of construction. Upon accepting Frederick Law Olmsted's preliminary concept, the Department of Conservation assigned one of its staff landscape architects, Donald B. Johnston, the task of developing Olmsted's concept into a working design. Johnston enthusiastically accepted responsibility for the first phase of landscaping. Johnston's working design was fundamentally based on Olmsted's concept, although Johnston changed the shapes of the plaza and the allee. (See Figure 21.)
Extending roughly from 1927 to 1938, the first stage involved the removal of several structures from the site of the Thomas Lincoln farm, reforestation of that area, relocation of state Highway 162, grading, construction of the plaza and parking lot, installation of a drainage system and a water reservoir, and the initial planting of the plaza and allee. [1]
Among the Lincoln City structures removed were a restaurant, a garage, a hotel, a school, a church, eleven houses, seven barns, and twenty outbuildings. The ILU bought two acres elsewhere in town which it donated for the construction of a new school building, and financed the construction of the new church. [2]
After removing the structures from the memorial land, the state fenced the memorial park's boundaries, regraded the streets and alleys and the old entrance road, and planted 22,441 native trees and 15,218 native shrubs with the assistance of Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) labor.* (See Figure 22.) The "lions and eagles gate" was removed. The gate itself is presently located at the east end of the plaza; the lions, now headless, rest in nearby Lincoln (Buckhorn) Lake, and the fate of the gilded plaster eagles is unknown. [3] The state erected a service building and rehabilitated a remaining house for the park custodian. A small flower garden was planted near the service area (out of public view) to provide flowers for Mrs. Lincoln's grave. [4] Clusters of sycamores, sugar maples, red oaks, tulip poplars, and lindens were planted along the relocated state road, which was routed through the plaza. Red oaks graced the plaza interior, and six hawthorns lined each of the plaza's southern diagonal walls. A semicircle of red cedars lining a curved stone wall (the excedra) marked the center of the southern plaza wall. (The State removed the excedra in 1940 when construction of the memorial building began.) A towering 120-foot tall flagstaff was placed in an island in the center of the plaza. (See Figure 23.) Governor Harry G. Leslie presided over the flagstaff's dedication ceremony at the Boonville Press Club's annual picnic on July 12, 1931.
Johnston's allee featured a central lawn flanked by gravel walks, their exterior sides each lined with ninety dogwood shrubs spaced four feet apart. Two rows of trees also lined the allee: an inner row of tulip poplars, ten trees per row, spaced thirty feet apart and measuring seventeen feet from the outer edge of the walks; and an outer row of sycamores spaced thirty feet away from the walks, and measuring thirty feet between each tree. Each sycamore was planted at the halfway point between the tulip poplars. Additional sycamores were planted outside the formal rows, making a transition from the formal allee to the restored forest. [5]
By 1932, the Department of Conservation had completed its demolition program and accomplished most of the formal planting. In 1933, the Department budgeted $34,000 for the installation of a water supply system, fabrication of a bronze memorial to be placed at the historic cabin site, and construction of a walking "Trail of Twelve Stones" commemorating various aspects of Abraham Lincoln's life. [6]
The Indiana Lincoln Union began planning the memorial trail in 1931. They intended
The ILU identified several possible sources for memorial stones, and began collecting them. The stones eventually placed along the one-mile winding trail included (1) a rock from a spring near Abraham Lincoln's birthplace at Hodgenville, Kentucky; (2) a monument erected years earlier by Spencer County to mark the Indiana cabin site; (3) a rock from the Jones store at Jonesboro, Indiana, where Lincoln worked as a clerk; (4) a slab from the foundation of the Western Sun and Commercial Advertiser in Vincennes, Indiana, where Lincoln, on his way to Illinois, first saw a printing press; (5) a foundation stone from the Berry-Lincoln store at New Salem, Illinois, (6) four bricks from Mary Todd Lincoln's Lexington, Kentucky, home; (7) a stone from the White House in Washington, D.C.; (8) a stone from the Anderson cottage at the National Soldiers' Home in Washington, D.C., where Lincoln wrote the Emancipation Proclamation; (9) a boulder from the Gettysburg battlefield; (10) a stone from the old capitol building in Washington, D.C., where Lincoln gave his second inaugural address; (11) a portion of a red sandstone column taken from the porch at the house where Lincoln died; and (12) the Culver stone (discussed earlier), salvaged from the construction of the Lincoln tomb in Springfield, Illinois, and placed at his mother's grave in 1902. Boonville Press Club picnickers were the first to walk the Trail of Twelve Stones in late August 1933. The following year, at the suggestion of Lincoln historian Louis Warren, the Indiana Lincoln Union added descriptive bronze plaques near each of the twelve stones. [8]
Also in 1933, the Department utilized CCC labor to plant 57,000 trees and 3,200 shrubs. [9]* Additionally, CCC labor developed a campground and picnic area, parking, shelters, a caretaker's cottage, roads and trails work, erosion control, and landscaping around the cabin site memorial. (Much of this work was accomplished in what is now Lincoln State Park.) The busy CCC crew also accomplished a boundary survey and a topographical survey of the state lands. [10]**
Also in 1933, the park's first superintendent, Joe Wiebe, was replaced by W. R. Ritchie, and Department of Conservation Director Richard Lieber was demoted, although he retained control of his state parks. State park positions in Indiana were subject to the governor's approval, and changes in the controlling political party frequently resulted in mass firings and replacements of state park personnel. Such was the case in 1933, when Democratic Governor Paul McNutt replaced Republican Harry G. Leslie. On July 5, 1933, frustrated by the firing of park superintendents statewide and by his own demotion, Col. Lieber notified Governor McNutt he would retire ten days later. His diary entry for that date stated simply, "Tired." Letter, Joe E. Wiebe to Dr. Louis Warren, Lincoln National Life Foundation, May 8, 1933, State ParksState Memorials Files, Indiana State Archives, Indianapolis. See also Park files, Clippings.
Of all the projects undertaken by the Indiana Lincoln Union, the fabrication of the bronze cabin site memorial was fraught with the most problems. Believing it would be inappropriate to construct a replica of the Lincoln cabin, the state hired architect Thomas Hibben, a native of Indiana then working in New York city, to design an appropriate monument to mark the site. The state planned a bronze casting in the shape of the historic cabin sill and hearth, to be surrounded by a stone wall. The area was to be formally landscaped. [11]*
The Department of Conservation awarded the bronze casting project to C. W. Hatcher of Indianapolis for $4200; Hatcher subcontracted the project to the International Art Foundries of New York, New York. International Art Foundries, in turn, subcontracted the project to Priessman, Bauer, and Company in Munich, Germany. [12]
In May 1933, the CCC crew located the historic hearthstones, which were situated in a Tconfiguration and comprised three layers of stones measuring roughly eighteen inches square and five to six inches deep. (See Figure 25.) The crew, under the supervision of Horace Weber, excavated the 300 hearthstones without the assistance of heavy equipment in order to protect the stones. The crew then constructed the stone wall around the site and landscaped the grounds (Figure 26); this phase of the project was completed by June 1934. [13] The area was ready for the bronze monument. Unfortunately, the bronze monument was not yet cast.
For some reason never made clear to the Department of Conservation, Priessman, Bauer, and Company suffered a series of delays in completing the project. In addition to the frustrationplans to dedicate the bronze memorial in the summer of 1934 had to be cancelled because the monument was not ready when expectedthe delays caused increased expenses due to devaluation of the dollar. By enlisting the aid of the German consulate and agreeing to extend the initial due date, the Department of Conservation lessened the amount of the added costs. [14] The Department was patient for two years, corresponding with the numerous parties involved, and changing its plans to meet the ever-changing schedule. The situation finally came to a head in May 1935, when the International Art Foundries tried to get more money from the State of Indiana to settle a dispute with the Foundries' subcontractor, Priessman, Bauer and Company. The state responded firmly that there would be no more money for the project, and that the bronze casting was to be delivered to Lincoln City no later than June 15, 1935, or the contract would be terminated, and no additional payments made. [15] The monument was delivered by that date, and was laid in place in July. [16]* Although Indiana Lincoln Union Executive Committee member J. I. Holcomb had advised Governor Paul McNutt to contact President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's office to invite him to dedicate the memorial and view the CCC work in the park, [17] McNutt apparently never acted on Holcomb's suggestion. The final cost of the bronze marker was $5,797.40 in American currency. [18]
Activity continued in 1937 and 1938. The state purchased the James F. Holstein farm and developed the intersection at Gentryville in accordance with Frederick Law Olmsted's preliminary plan; surveyed and marked the Eli Grigsby farm, and replanted trees which failed to survive the 1937 floods. The state erected signs which had been made by the National Park Service, which supervised the CCC crew at Lincoln State Park. The Indiana Lincoln Union continued to seek funds for the construction of a memorial building. [19]
Paul V. Brown accepted a position with the National Park Service, apparently in 1935, as an administrator of Civilian Conservation Corps programs. At first he worked in Indianapolis, later in Omaha, Nebraska. Brown continued as executive secretary of the ILU, even after he left Indiana. The Lincoln park was close to his heart, and his trips "home" frequently included meetings with his friends at the Department of Conservation and sometimes jaunts to the Lincoln park. [20] At Lieber's request, Brown accepted a leave of absence from his National Park Service duties from May 10-31, 1937, so he could write a brief history of the Lincoln park. [21] Noting that Brown's history, while excellent, failed to acknowledge Brown's personal contributions to the effort, Lieber asked the NPS Region II Historian Philip Auchampaugh to review the document. On Lieber's suggestion, Auchampaugh transmitted the draft study to Dr. Louis Warren of the Lincoln National Life Foundation, a noted Lincoln scholar, to revise the study to include a better reflection of Brown's efforts. [22] The ILU published Brown's history, The Indiana Lincoln Memorial in Spencer County, Indiana, in 1938. It contains an excellent summary of the Union's activities in promoting and developing the park through 1937. [23]
Although retired from state government since 1933, Richard Lieber remained active in matters related to the management of state parks and continued to hold a particular interest in the Indiana Lincoln Memorial. He was president of the National Conference on State Parks in 1936; also on its board of directors were C. G. Sauer, who had been involved in the initial planning for the Lincoln park, Conrad Wirth of the National Park Service, and former NPS director Horace Albright. Acting NPS Director Arthur Demaray authorized Service funds to cover Lieber's travel expenses for the 1936 Regional Conference on State Parks. [24]
In 1937 Secretary of the Interior Harold Ickes appointed Lieber to the Advisory Board on National Parks, Historic Sites, Buildings and Monuments. [25] In a letter congratulating Lieber on the appointment, Paul Brown observed Lieber's unique opportunity to seek national recognition for the site. [26] "Despite a [National] Park Service opinion that [Abraham] Lincoln was amply represented by the Federal government, and [fear] that a national recognition would lead to similar proposals for sites related to the mothers of other great men," Lieber "led the Board to find the memorial nationally significant in 1939." [27]

What is the importance of Google Plus for your websites or blogs? In this article, we will show the important factors to use Google+ for your websites. Google is promoting its new social platform Google plus. Google Plus is growing rapidly; gaining more followers than any other social network ever did in its early days. Adding Google plus to your website or marketing campaign helps to increase the traffic and ranking of your site in the search engines. Therefore, here is the importance of Google Plus ranking for blogs.
|Google+ Importance for Your Websites
Google Plus Ranking and Your Blogs or WebsitesMaintaining multiple social platforms can be overwhelming and time consuming. But, adding Google plus to your site will soon result in higher rankings on Google. Google has introduced its new social platform to identify and track how the users rate the web content. Then based on the results and analysis Google will modify the search algorithm to better suit the user and to provide them the optimal search experience. Below are some main points to use the Google Plus for your websites.
- It is a smart idea to include Google plus into your social media marketing plans. You can create a page in Google plus and gain more and more followers to your website; Google is better at gaining artificial popularity.
- Google plus users can send emails to their co-workers and other users asking them to share their website with other people. This is one of the best marketing techniques. So, start using Google plus and send emails which contain good content that can easily convince other users to share your website. You can also send the private messages on Google+.
- Ensure that you have added +1 button on your site. This will increase the visibility and earn you more clicks. It is better to share the button at the top or bottom of the web page content, as it's at its most visible point there.
- Google plus is also provided with the 'circles' option. With this you can keep different types of people and interests separate. You can create various circles like friends, marketing, clients etc. and add people to the circles; you can add one person to more than one group. You have an option to display the specific friends on the Google+ profile.
- The Google plus search feature works similar to that of the standard Google search. It includes three categories for searching, everywhere, from everyone and everything. With these searches SEO within Google plus is possible and helps you to improve traffic to your site. Recently, Google also started adding Google plus profiles to search results.

This is something I just made because it was NECESSARY.
I'm pretty sure that of all the religious groups, Satanists are responsible for the least amount of deaths.
"some historians think that michelangelo was drawing god in a human brain. very few people knew what one looked like at the time; but michelangelo had dissected cadavers and would have known. it even has the hint of a brain stem. if true this would have been a great "fuck you" to the pope whom he was not friendly with but also would have meant god was in a human brain, or created by man."
Holy shit, we talked about this in Philosophy class literally last week.! Tumblr be knowin.

Taxidermia (2006): Gyorgy Palfi's grotesque tale of three generations of men, including an obese speed eater, an embalmer of gigantic cats, and a man who shoots fire out of his penis.
This is one of the most beautifully grotesque movies I have ever seen. I recommend it to anyone with a strong stomach and an adventurous mind.
At least one way of measuring the freedom of any society is the amount of comedy that is permitted, and clearly a healthy society permits more satirical comment than a repressive, so that if comedy is to function in some way as a safety release then it must obviously deal with these taboo areas. This is part of the responsibility we accord our licensed jesters, that nothing be excused the searching light of comedy. If anything can survive the probe of humour it is clearly of value, and conversely all groups who claim immunity from laughter are claiming special privileges which should not be granted.

I have this really fond memory of not being able to go to the circus as a kid. Sounds weird now that I say it, but its true. Anyway, my family couldn't afford to go, so my little sister, a friend, and I messed around on the playground behind the place where the circus was happening. When the circus ended, my friend went home, but my sister and I watched them pack their equipment up. That's when the ringleader saw us. He asked if we had enjoyed the show and we said hadn't been able to go. The ringleader, as if he were motherfucking Santa Claus himself, proceeded to give us both free tickets to their next show. Needless to say, we ran home the happiest kids who had ever lived.
Now I'm an adult, and I just now realized that children's tickets were already free and this guy had basically trapped my parents into spending money they didn't need to spend. Isn't growing up awesome?

A California fitness enthusiast and mother of three is defending a controversial photo of herself that has prompted an avalanche of Facebook critics to accuse her of fat shaming women. In the photo, 32-year-old Maria Kang poses in a workout bra and matching micro shorts — revealing an incredibly toned figure with washboard abs — while surrounded by her three young sons, now 1, 3 and 4. Floating above her head is the question, "What's your excuse?" The picture has gone viral, with more than 16 million views on Facebook, and has generated more than 12,000 comments. And while much of the input has been of the supportive "you go, girl" variety, plenty of it has been made up of angry, offended personal attacks on the photo subject, calling her everything from "obnoxious" and "fake" to a bad mom and a bully. ... Kang says that making other women feel bad about themselves is the opposite of what she was going for: "I wanted to inspire people," adding that the "What's your excuse?" part was simply a borrowed, popular phrase that's been used in various "fitspiration" campaigns. "I wanted to say, 'I know you think you don't have time if you have kids. But if I can do it, you can do it, too."
I'm having trouble figuring out the controversial part to be honest. People are stupid.

Ch. 9-Close Call5 Reviews
"Oh. Lemme clean this up a bit." He said leaning over me to grab sheets of paper off the bunk, some blank, and some filled with pictures and/or scribbles. He smelled like a mix of cigarettes, sweat, and something that smelled of sandalwood. It was intoxicating. I was frozen in my place. He kept brushing me with his arm and stomach.
Finally as he was pulling himself out of the bunk space, his arm brushed against my chest, and I felt myself immediately go hot. He must've noticed what he had done, because he stopped for a split second and cleared his throat. He was now mere inches from my face. I didn't know what to do, but I guess it didn't matter, because I felt like I was being sucked in closer. Gerard licked his lips; just then we heard an evil cackle and the sounds of motors.
"Goddamnit, Frank!" Gerard yelled hopping up.
I sunk into the small mattress covering the bunk. I tried to go to sleep but my thoughts consumed me. 'I thought he had a girlfriend? Didn't he? That's what I've been hearing. Maybe he just got caught up...it happens. Jeez Andrea. You just got out of a relationship. Yesterday. Well, Tuesday. Isn't it a bit early to be thinking about a new one? Yes. It IS. Besides, he just got caught up. I'm sure he misses his...whatever she was.'
Those thoughts kept repeating themselves in my head until I fell asleep. I woke up after what seemed like a few hours. I never could sleep well in strange places, and this was definitely strange. I just lay there, and let out a heavy sigh. I was bored and I wanted to go back to sleep. I tried for what I guessed to be an hour, but it wouldn't happen. I finally got up to use the restroom and hobbled my way there. When I came out, I almost ran into Gerard. We both just stood there.
"Couldn't sleep?" He asked.
"I slept for a bit. What time is it?"
"About six."
"Did you sleep at all?"
"Yea, just woke up. When did you wake up?" He questioned.
"Five? I'm guessing." I shrugged.
"Oh. Well. I'm up for a little bit. You can come back and chill if you'd like."
"Rad." Was my answer.
"Need help?" He asked gesturing to my foot.
Not wanting an event to occur like earlier, I declined. He ignored it however and proceeded to help me to the back room.
We sat down and Gerard turned to me "How's your foot?"
"Eh. Better. Still hurts like a bitch though."
"It looks pretty swollen. You sure you don't want someone to check it out? We have an on hand first aid person if you need 'em."
"Eh, maybe. Whenever we get to the next venue, if we have time."
"Yea, I've been looking for tickets. But I need to know the nearest airport to where you live."
"It'll be in Evansville, Indiana."
"You guys drove all the way from Indiana?"
"No. We drove from Henderson, Kentucky. Evansville is about a 15 minute drive from Hendo -er...that's what we call Henderson."
"Ah gotcha. Well." He typed a little on his laptop. "Well there's not a straight flight to Evansville for today. I don't think there's one connecting..."
"Don't worry though, I'll keep trying." He said hurriedly.
"Oh no, it's fine. I like the thought of seeing 'a day in the life' of M.C.R, ya know?" I chuckled.
"Yea, I'm sure." He smiled.
Then we fell into a silence. Fearing that earlier this morning might bring itself up somehow.
"Would you like to use the computer?" Gerard spoke up, breaking the uncomfortable silence.
"Sure." I said. I took the computer from Gerard and checked my MySpace.
When I was brought to my home page, I was surprised when Gerard spoke up. "That's a cute picture."
I turned to him shocked. "It's neat, I mean." He covered. I looked at what he was seeing. Me with longer hair blowing a bubble.
"Thanks." I didn't want to, but I blushed. I exited out of the window and handed Gerard his computer.
"We'll get you some clothes. I told Mark to take a detour to a mall. So we'll be heading there in a few hours I guess."
"Thanks. I feel really bad. I don't mean to be such a burden."
"I'm telling you, it's fine. I offered." He was starting to sound annoyed.
"Yea well. Can't help it." I shrugged.
"I'll even throw in a pack of cigarettes."
"Psh. Nein. I'm using up enough money as it is. I'm going to start feeling like I'm sucking the My Chem Bank dry." I chuckled.
Gerard chuckled, but persisted "Think of it as a 'get well soon present'. What do you smoke?"
"Newport menthols. Expensive em-effers."
"Well, I guess it's a good thing you met a band, huh?"
"Don't make me feel worse." I told him.
"Alright sorry."

I made these Sunday morning and they kept quite well. I used Quick Cooking Oats and sour milk (instead of buttermilk) and only let them soak as long as it took me to mix the dry ingredients together. I made half a recipe and added 1/2 tsp vanilla and 1/2 tsp cinnamon. I also used frozen blueberries..right out of the freezer instead of the dried blueberries. I will certainly make this again.

Personal chef Trinket Shaw serves these versatile muffins with just about everything on her menu. The buttermilk and oats soak together overnight, which gives these muffins a creamy texture. You can use any dried fruit in place of the blueberries--or none at all.

Mitral valve repair is surgically more complex than replacement, but it allows patients to avoid blood thinners and the complications of prosthetic valves. When repair is not an option because a patient is too sick or too frail for surgery, an investigational replacement technique may be an option. Our cardiac surgeons and interventional cardiologists have created groundbreaking results using percutaneous aortic valve replacement, which is a catheter-based technique to place a new valve over a defective one in severe aortic stenosis cases.
The results of percutaneous aortic valve repair have been groundbreaking and have resulted in submission to the FDA for approval. With the percutaneous approach, patients experience less pain and scarring and typically require less recovery time.
The cardiac surgeons at the Heart & Vascular Center have extensive experience in valve repair and replacement: they have a high skill level, which results in excellent clinical outcomes and mortality rates that are consistently below the national average. They see more than 1,200 patients each year, performing nearly 1,000 surgeries on valves and coronary arteries.
To make an appointment with a Washington University heart or vascular specialist at Barnes-Jewish Hospital, call
Approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), transcatheter aortic valve replacement is a procedure deemed game changing by physicians, now allows cardiac specialists at Barnes-Jewish to perform open-heart surgery without the "open" for patients previously unable to have surgery.

This is 40 Reviews
Cinema Sight
If this is what 40 is like, someone needs a reality check.
Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4
You get the impression this should have been called Here Are Some Things That Judd Apatow Is Thinking About Right Now, In No Particular Order.
The Patriot Ledger
For Apatow to get to the point where Oscar voters start taking notice, he needs to start acting more like he's 40, not 14.
Full Review | Original Score: B-
Arkansas Democrat-Gazette
...a collection of demos, obviously inessential but interesting to the cultists.
Full Review | Original Score: 82/100
The most satisfying example yet of why Judd Apatow's become such a formidable comedy brand in recent years.
Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4
Movie Habit
Apatow dips a toe into mature waters, and remembers to bring along the laughs
I do not find fault with these characters as I believe they accurately reflect our so-called post-modern times and they deserve to be laughed at.
Full Review | Original Score: 70/100
This Is 40 (40 minutes too long, that is) is getting at something, but it doesn't get there by 40 miles-not more than 40 people outside L.A. will understand it. This is not a refinement of the frat-pack comedy as much as a tombstone for a subgenre.
Full Review | Original Score: 2.5
Movies With Butter
Watching This is 40 actually feels like aging, which isn't precisely a draw.
Bloomberg News
This is funny?
Full Review | Original Score: **
Observer [UK]
This Is 40 is in fact, within its limits, an honest, frank, often painful film about married life, bringing up children, dealing tactfully with difficult parents, getting older without necessarily getting wiser.
Movie Talk
There are laughs, sure, with Brooks' unabashed moocher coming up with many of the film's best lines... but the overall results are distinctly patchy and at 133 minutes, the film is at least half an hour too long.
Birmingham Mail
( ... ) underneath the brashness, there's a tender heart, with the children just being themselves amid adults who are still in love yet in danger of losing their way.
Full Review | Original Score: 3/5
Irish Times
It is, in its quieter way, more pointlessly indulgent than The Matrix Revolutions.
Full Review | Original Score: 1/5
This overlong comedy is so episodic that watching it is exactly like sitting through five episodes of a sitcom back-to-back. It's funny and enjoyable, with characters we enjoy watching, but they continually spiral back to where they started
Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5
Daily Mail [UK]
There isn't enough story to float a TV sitcom; it simply consists of people bickering.
Full Review | Original Score: 1/5
Sun Online
Even an off-form Apatow is better than most and this entertains.
Full Review | Original Score: 3/5
This is London
It's a sitcom, then, with no real story or structure.
Full Review | Original Score: 2/5
Daily Express
This is 40 minutes too long.
Daily Telegraph
Every scene feels like an airbrushed composite of dozens of rambling takes, and 133 minutes is drainingly long for a story this sitcom-slight.

The Nuggets came up with a series of big plays late in regulation to tie the game, but couldn't get it done in the extra period, falling to Dallas 108-105.
|Nene, C 36 MIN | 6-12 FG | 4-5 FT | 10 REB | 2 AST | 16 PTS | -10
Nene had a harmless double-double. I was surprised he produced this much because he continues to have trouble finishing at the rim. Nene had an incredibly difficult cover in Dirk Nowitzki but that is not an excuse to completely neglect defending the weak side. No blocks, no steals, and too many turnovers. The one thing Nene did well was keep his head in the game instead of expending all of his energy arguing calls.
|Julyan Stone, G 7 MIN | 0-0 FG | 0-0 FT | 2 REB | 2 AST | 0 PTS | -8
I don't know why the Nuggets went away from Stone. Karl keeps putting him in a terrible situation where he's not in a position to make plays or develop his point guard abilities. I like the way Stone defends, but it's hard to ignore how he helped the Nuggets get off to a horrid start on both ends of the court. I'll give Stone an incomplete. The starting lineup experiment couldn't have gone much worse and Stone suffered the most for it. He was not given a chance to play after 8 uneventful minutes.
|Chris Andersen, C 14 MIN | 1-4 FG | 0-2 FT | 2 REB | 0 AST | 2 PTS | -13
Birdman is like that cheap, no-name vodka occupying the bottom shelf of your favorite liquor store. Are the cheap thrills of a good night once in a while worth the ensuing week-long headache? No, and consistently going there is a sign you may have a serious problem. Starting him was Karl's strangest decision yet. He hasn't started since 2008 against the Hawks, where he also struggled mightily and the Nuggets lost. I like Birdman in small, infrequent doses when the team is exceptionally flat. Starting him flat out didn't work.
|Arron Afflalo, SG 34 MIN | 4-12 FG | 2-2 FT | 0 REB | 1 AST | 12 PTS | -21
It's tough to settle on a good grade for Afflalo, because he showed some fight coming off another horrendous start. There was a stretch in the third quarter where he looked to be asserting himself as a leader while imploring the Nuggets to work harder on the defensive end. Unfortunately, Afflalo was just way too up and down. He missed every big shot he took and just didn't consistently play up to his talent. He finished with a game worst -21, a stat not indicative of his true play but a strong sign that he just doesn't have it together. There are signs he is getting there.
|Ty Lawson, PG 38 MIN | 5-16 FG | 4-5 FT | 1 REB | 10 AST | 16 PTS | -4
Lawson wasn't aggressive enough, but it's totally unreasonable to expect him to just start taking over games while trying to grow into his long term role as a starter. A double-double from your starting PG should be more than enough for any good team in the league to get a win, especially one with as much depth and scoring talent as Denver. It's imperative that Lawson get way more aggressive going to the rim, but at least he is improving. The main problem is the defense and Lawson can't fix that. Ty has the right idea in trying to make this haphazard offense work by not forcing too many shots, but he simply needs to get meaner and be relentless attacking the paint.
|Al Harrington, PF 33 MIN | 6-10 FG | 3-5 FT | 5 REB | 3 AST | 17 PTS | -5
Great stats, but just one of those hollow efforts as you never got the sense he had much of an impact on the game. To be fair, the game was pretty out of hand by the time he came in. Al Buckets is at least making shots and not afraid to take them when needed. With the Nuggets suffering a crisis of confidence at the moment, you have to appreciate what Al brings to the table. Unfortunately Harrington is a big part of the Nuggets giving back way more points than they are able to put up. I had to dock Harrington's solid production because he ultimately didn't make plays when the Nuggets needed it most. Al's effort does not go unnoticed though, I love how hard he's playing and this team's problems are much bigger than him.
|Andre Miller, PG 29 MIN | 3-5 FG | 4-4 FT | 7 REB | 6 AST | 11 PTS | +4
His defense is so bad, you need a nightly double-double just to compensate. Miller can't guard anyone and the team seems to know it. Karl seems okay with having him lay off his man while praying he can cut off drives to the rim. The problem is teams are finding the open shooter and Miller can't be bothered to close out. Outside of the defense, Miller struggled again with turnovers but played about as well as he can offensively. This may be the best you can get out of Miller in a nightly bench role and I'm not sure giving a 36 year old this many minutes is the wisest idea.
|Rudy Fernandez, SG 29 MIN | 6-9 FG | 3-4 FT | 3 REB | 1 AST | 17 PTS | +4
Fernandez had the hot hand early and helped close out the second half on a mini Denver run. The Nuggets then curiously went away from him while the starters lost all momentum. His shot selection was much better and his gambling defense continues to be frustratingly hit or miss. Still, Rudy played with a lot of passion and showed resolve on a night the rest of the Nuggets looked scared.
|Kosta Koufos, C 20 MIN | 2-4 FG | 0-0 FT | 8 REB | 0 AST | 4 PTS | +3
Koufos is impressing me more with each game. He still makes a lot of mistakes getting caught on switches and trying to guard the perimeter, but the guy is only 22 years old and still learning the most difficult position in the NBA. He usually produces whenever he gets minutes, so I don't understand why he was removed from the starting lineup. Koufos may have been the only positive in terms of the defense tonight and he barely played. I was wrong about the guy — he's a surefire rotation player and the Nuggets need to live with some rookie mistakes while developing him.
The Nuggets crushed the Mavs in Dallas for their third straight blowout victory in a season opener. Just like the last few years they showcased a high powered offense with plenty of depth and cruised to a big lead they never surrendered. Ty Lawson was the star in this one, scoring 27 points with incredible efficiency and generally picking apart the slow, flat-footed Mavericks defense.
Yesterday my wonderful colleague Jeremy detailed the Nuggets 2011-12 season outlook in a post titled, How Good Can the Denver Nuggets Be? In it he expressed his concern over how this year's team would play without a "chip" on its shoulder, without enough good defensive players in addition to how the Nuggets would be affected by losing Kenyon Martin, J.R. Smith and Wilson Chandler to the Chinese Basketball Association. In the end Jeremy stated, "For Nuggets fans who could not stomach the thought of rebuilding, you got your wish. They will be a playoff team for the foreseeable future, but I fear that is all they will be." Though this may be true, I'm here to tell you why that may not be such a bad thing after all. (more…)
In Part 1 of this short series we examined the Denver Nuggets who landed outside the Top 100 of ESPN's #NBArank list, which attempted to tabulate the best 500 players in the entire league. To conclude our analytical process of determining just how accurate these rankings are, we're going to inspect the remaining Denver Nuggets — those who are perceived by our fellow TrueHoop family members, as some of the best 100 players in the entire NBA.

Though this is strictly a Denver Nuggets-themed blog, I don't think I'd be going to far as to say most of the our readers are likely going to be watching the Mavericks and Heat go at it in the 2011 NBA Finals this year. So, Roundball Mining Company has dug up an assortment of different links to help you further get acquainted with the nuances of this historic series. (more…)
Quite a few storylines unfolded on Tuesday night in Secaucus, N.J., but none were bigger than the Cavaliers winning two of the top four overall picks behind the fortuitous, and confident, 14-year-old Nick Gilbert, son of Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert and team representative for the night. (more…)
With the Denver Nuggets already out of the playoffs and the NBA Draft a little over a month away, speculation on how the Nuggets will approach the draft and who it will take with the 22nd pick is firmly underway. Equipped with an enticing asset in Raymond Felton as well as the less attractive Al Harrington — both of whom are overshadowed at their respective positions by other teammates, thus making them somewhat trade-able — the Nuggets have the option to make a variety of moves if prompted. (more…)
It's hard to understand (or even grasp the concept for that matter) what heaven must be like. Undoubtedly arriving in such a palatial and euphoric location would be blissful on the highest level. And though we can't exactly embrace that feeling until we get there, we can certainly estimate as to how it might be. Watching the Denver Nuggets since the landmark Carmelo Anthony trade, one can only assume, is just like heaven. (more…)

August 3, 2003
Ft. Benning -Young boys took advantage of an open field for a game of football, but soon, men and women of the Army Rangers will parachute to the ground.
"Because we've been deployed with the global war on terrorism for the past two years, this is really our first opportunity to come together and get together with rangers of the past and present have a good time and celebrate and really honor the rangers here today and those in the past and rangers of the future," said Ranger Captain Larry Gascock.
Army Rangers have been and some still are serving in Iraq. Ken and Martha Land's son, Scott Chapman, served in Iraq, but today is joining the rest of his regiment for the rendezvous.
"I'd think of him every morning," says Ken Land, "He'd pop into my head every day at work, and I'd just pray for him everyday and everyone else that was over there, I'd just pray that they'd come home."
Martha Land says, "When I watched TV and I saw the soldiers, every soldier was my son, that's just the way I thought; every soldier. Still, very concerned about people that are still there. The guys and the women still there, I wish they'd come home."
But today, the Land's are celebrating the fact that their son has made it home safely.
And although today was just a demonstration, the Rangers are always prepared to be sent anywhere in the world in just 18 hours. But hopefully, they won't have to leave anytime soon. The Rendezvous wraps up on Thursday when Colonel James Nixon assumes command.

Topic - Worn out toe bale on boots, crampons etc.
EdH - on 24 Jun 2013
At the moment I've got a second-hand pair of Nepal extremes and terminator crampons that seem to do the job nicely. The only problem is the front toe bale of the boots is starting to get very worn down, and though the crampons still feel secure it's potentially a bit sketchy. So, my options seem to be
- Resole the boots, the green mid-sole is looking a bit cracked and worn so I guess that'd need replacing as well- expensive! and keep using the crampons.
- Buy some C2 crampons, and leave the boots as they are. I'm sure these wouldn't limit my climbing (for a fair few seasons, maybe ever!) and could be lighter as well. But the boots might still need to be replaced in a couple of years.
- Replace the boots.
- Carry on and hope for the best, at least until they start feeling unstable.
At the moment they'll mostly be used for easyish winter climbing (III-ish) and alpine stuff, but I'd like to get on steeper stuff soon.
Any advice appreciated!

Angels deal for left-hander Kazmir
The Los Angeles Angels, looking to bolster their rotation for the last five weeks of the season and in October, acquired left-hander Scott Kazmir of the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday.
"This is a surprise. I had heard rumors before, but it's hard to believe that it is now official," Kazmir said after Tampa Bay's 6-2 loss to Detroit. "It's a disappointment because of all the relationships I've built in the organization and the city, but you can't control the business side of the game."
The Angels and Rays had extensive conversations before the trade deadline about Kazmir, who is 8-7 with a 5.92 ERA.
Tampa Bay receives two minor leaguers -- left-hander Alex Torres and infielder Matt Sweeney -- and a player to be named later.
Law: Rays Get Theirs, Too
Third baseman Matt Sweeney, a strong kid with a very good left-handed swing and line-drive power, is the hidden gem of the Scott Kazmir deal, Keith Law writes. Blog
"We're very excited about the player that we can't name yet, but also about the other two," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. "The lefty has a great arm, and Sweeney is one of the best hitters in the minors."
Looking to lock up their third straight division title, the Angels began the night four games ahead of second-place Texas. Tampa Bay was 3½ out in the wild-card race.
"We're not going to make moves just to make moves. We search for opportunities that make sense for us, not only in the short term but in the long term," Angels general manager Tony Reagins said during Friday night's game against Oakland. "We had followed him for the last couple of weeks. Most recently, we had a scout in Toronto who saw Scott pitch, and he obviously threw the ball very well. So we just felt it made sense for us to make the move right now."
Because he was dealt before Aug. 31, Kazmir is eligible for postseason play with Los Angeles.
"I'm going to a quality organization that is in the race every year," said Kazmir, who started Games 1 and 5 of last year's World Series against Philadelphia. "That's something to look forward to, but I don't think it will hit me until I fly out there tomorrow."
The Rays definitely get salary relief in the deal. Tampa Bay is barreling toward a series of tough financial decisions because of its payroll restrictions, and the 25-year-old Kazmir is in the first year of a three-year, $28.5 million deal.
Kazmir, who cleared waivers earlier this month, is making $6 million this year, and will make salaries of $8 million in 2010 and $12 million in 2011.
"It's important because we'll have stability, knowing that we'll have Scott in the fold for this year and two more, plus the option year," Reagins said. "Scott's 25 and still in the prime of his career, so we think he's going to improve."
Fast Facts
• The Angels are trying to hold off the Rangers in the AL West. Kazmir is 5-1 with a 2.28 ERA lifetime against Texas.
• Kazmir's 9.36 strikeouts per nine innings trail only Jake Peavy (9.46) among pitchers with a minimum of 750 innings pitched since 2005.
• With an eye toward the playoffs, the Angels had to know that Kazmir is 4-0 with a 2.92 ERA against the Red Sox and Yankees this season. He's 2-0 against each but 4-7 with a 6.78 ERA against the rest of the league.
-- ESPN Stats & Information
Tampa Bay may try to replace Kazmir in the rotation with one of its young prospects, such as Wade Davis, who is 10-7 with a 3.26 ERA in Triple-A.
The Angels have dealt with a series of injuries and inconsistency with their rotation this season, as well as the death of Nick Adenhart. The Angels rank 24th in starters' ERA in the majors, at 4.96, yet have a four-game lead in the AL West, largely because they have had an overpowering offense that leads the majors in runs.
Staff ace John Lackey can become a free agent after this season.
"Scott's situation is exclusive of anything we're doing in the future," Reagins said. "The way the pitching market is out there now and the pitchers that are available in the next few years, this made a lot of sense for us -- to be able to get a quality pitcher in the fold right now."
Just before Reagins spoke with reporters, Angels rookie Trevor Bell was lifted from the game after giving up five runs and seven hits over 2 2/3 innings.
Kazmir was selected in the first round of the 2002 draft by the New York Mets, then traded to Tampa Bay in 2004 while he was still in the minors for Victor Zambrano.
Kazmir led the AL with 239 strikeouts in 2007 but has been slowed by injuries during his career.
Kazmir is 4-1 with a 4.38 ERA over his last six starts. His previous outing was at Toronto on Wednesday, when he struck out 10 while allowing a run and four hits over six innings in a no-decision.
"I don't know what to say, because he's been pitching well," Rays teammate Carl Crawford said. "It surprises me to see Kaz go, because of everything he's meant to the organization."
Kazmir is the club's career leader in wins, strikeouts, starts and innings pitched.
"It's very easy to say that this trade will hurt our chances, given how Scott has pitched his last few starts," Maddon said. "But we've got guys in the minors that we really like and that we think can help us."
The Rays acquired more skilled minor leaguers from the Angels. The left-handed Torres, 21, is 13-4 with a 2.75 ERA in the minors this season, while reaching Double-A. Sweeney, a 21-year-old third baseman, is hitting .296 in Class A, with nine homers, 44 RBIs, 26 walks and 37 strikeouts.
"There were players that obviously were moved in this deal that they saw value in and they liked -- and we liked," Reagins said. "We think that we gave up two talented players, and a third to come. So this was not a basic salary dump."

News on Dumbscar, incase you haven't heard.
"This is Kylie's father. She is at the hospital and will recover.
To those who reached out to the police here in town: Thank you so much. You possibly saved her life.
To those who "liked" her post, or those who offered suggestions like "you should have crushed the pills"…for those who did nothing at all…screw you.
Kylie's focus will now be on getting well and she will not be back on Tumblr. I just wanted to let the people who truly cared know that she will be ok."
I'm so glad she's recovering wowowow
it makes me feel so glad… I didn't even know her but wowowowow the thought that her life was saved by strangers on the internet makes me stop and think twice about everything
