i found a really good fanfic
it's been on hiatus for three years
whenever i see big bugs on the floor i keep wanting to take out a net and catch them
animal crossing has ruined me
It takes a while, but when it does I bet it'll feel really great. Good luck on your arting endeavors. uwu
why thank you
depends on the type of perfectionist but they're right in that if you overthink it you'll stress yourself out into drawing nothing is better to just let the pen explode on the paper and move on to the next sketch
that makes it sound so easy but hey i'm trying
Oh trust me I'm a perfectionist in several regards but I've found letting go and trying to be more free with art is a lot more relaxing and enjoyable? Something I've found lately is if you make a mistake you can turn it into something? IDK.
no you're probably right
i need to let go and let myself art freely but i'm having trouble not trying to correct every tiny thing constantly
it's kind of a pain
Oh man but that's half the fun! I've grown fond of doing pen sketches because I like how quick and sloppy it looks? I dunno I'm probably weird on that.
oh man i wish
being a perfectionist really sucks when it comes to art
for some reason for the last few days i've really wanted to do a watercolor painting??
but i normally hate painting and we don't have the supplies anyway idk it's just weird
But printer paper is good for quick sketches so as long as you're just using a pen or a ball point pen.
i'm not good enough to sketch with pens yet i erase too much
geez i haven't finished anything yet

Celebrity Fashion: LEA MICHELE Drops Jaws In Cleavage-Baring Dress At 2012 Do Something Awards
LEA MICHELE dropped jaws in a cleavage-baring dress at Sunday's 2012 Do Something Awards.
Check her out:
Of course Lea is always causing jaws to drop on the red carpet with her bold cleavage-baring looks, so this is really nothing new to us.
The "Glee" star, who attended the event with her TV fiancé and real-life boyfriend Cory Monteith, looked very sexy in an off-white Armani dress with a plunging, ruffled neckline and a center split.
She completed her outfit with a silver Fendi clutch, Jenni Kayne strappy sandals, and intricate dangle earrings by Samira 13 jewelry.
As for hair and makeup, Lea opted for loose ombre waves, shimmery smokey eyes, and nude lips.
Lea looks great as usual, though a bit overdressed for the occasion. Nonetheless, we just love her outfit… and her cute (and super tall) arm candy just makes it look even better.

High DPC/IR cpu from Network Usage
I have noticed when Iam downloading at full speed of 1.8MB/s on Wifi or LAN there is high DPC/IR (Deferred Procedure Calls and Interrupt Requests) CPU usage - and when transferring files in or out to USB hdd.. i sometimes get pops & clicks in audio too - the CPU is a Turion 1.8Ghz x2 with 1Mb L2 cache and 2Gb of ram, DPC/IR can only be seen using Resource Monitor in windows 7 (type 'resource monitor' into startsearch) or using Process Explorer software, I dont know much about DPC/IR but as far as Im aware it handles errors or something like that and I was told it should never even go beyond 1% cpu usage - its more noticeable on laptops as these have CPUs that arent as powerfull as desktops and have wifi, it seems to be worse with wifi. it causes latency problems in windows too and things like audio playback get pops & clicks and windows & apps become sluggish.
What brought it too my attention was the CPU fan on my laptop was on all the time and windows seemed to be sluggish when I was downloading even though uTorrent was just using 3-5% CPU, I noticed the total at bottom of Task Manager seemed to be more than what would tally up in the window, it was when i used resource monitor that I seen it.
WiFi @ 1.8MB/s = 10-15% DPC/IR cpu usage
LAN @ 1.8MB/s = 5% DPC/IR cpu usage
Copying Files to USB HDD = 15% DPC/IR cpu usage (this test was odd as it was some time ago i done this one, but I remember it was either IN or OUT that had the increase, probably IN (and OUT was <1%) , I tried SDcard too and got varying results)
ive even seen it max at 40% when downloading on wifi and copying a file in/out too usb hard-drive at the same time...that is definitely not normal behavior
another problem I have with my Atheros wifi card is that it peaks and troughs with the download speed and when it troughs the internet is slow almost unresponsive, but i dont think thats related and will start seperate thread for that
after searching the internet it appears that many others have this problem in Windows 7 and is related to their network driver, many seem to have it much worse than me too.. I ran some program a while ago that monitors and tests to see whats causing it and it said it was NDIS.SYS which is the networking driver in Windows 7 (I think) - at first I thought it was related to Atheros Wifi driver but its not as ive seen many people with other drivers, plus it happens on my LAN which is realtek
I think everyone suffers with this in windows 7 and that its a bug, those with powerfull CPU's and using LAN probably wont notice it , but those with sub 2Ghz laptops and Wifi should if they look for it.
Has anyone esle had this problem and if so found a fix for it?
I came across a post on MS TechNet of someone else with same problem and they were given a link to a MS page that had a fix for it .."hotfix for 20% decrease in performance when high network usage" - I downloaded it but it wouldnt install saying my system was not compatible or some bull...i had the x64 Windows 7 version too.. further on his post MS staff offered to have a look at it at cost of $300...needless to say that was the end of the post.
looking forward to replies

Windows 8 still has this problem too
|My System Specs
|30 Jul 2012
I cant believe that NOBODY else can see this happening on their windows 7 machines? its happened on EVERY windows 7 machine that uses Wi-Fi and downloads in background... I suppose the more powerfull the processor the less your gunna notice it - but even now on my 3Ghz P4 PC I can see extra 25-30% CPU usage from DPC/IR - i couldnt even play a Youtube video while downloading at 1.6MB/s cos the CPU could not cope - YES the video was already buffered, it was playing but clicking and cutting out..
MS have NOT sorted it in W8 either as I tested a copy

nope - simply buy a more powerfull computer to help - ive since stopped using the affected laptop, I now have a core-i5 PC and have not tested it on this, waste of time as there will be no fix anyway as its not being recognised as an issue when it clearly is

I spent some time on trying to stop the dropouts, crackles etc traced it down to the Atheros AR938 x Wireless Network Adaptor.
There are some advanced settings for the Atheros AR938 but as yet I am unable to find out how they should be set, below are how mine are set but are they correct ?
802.116 = Long & Short
Adhoc IIN = disable
Dynamic Mimo Power save= disable
Network Adress= not present
Receive Buffer= 256
Scan Valid Interval = 60
Transmit Buffer = 512
So I just disable it which is a pain to keep doing.
|My System Specs
|08 Feb 2014
the problem is the NDIS.SYS driver which controls the network, ive been told its poor driver code thats causing the issue, mine is Atheros to but ive seen it on other brands of wi-fi... on LAN too but less so, on our laptop (2Ghz x 2 AMD) it would use 20% CPU on IR/DPC when downloading at 1.8MB/s (15Mbps) and 5% CPU when doing the same on LAN (Realtek) ...something not right there... and ive been told its bad drivers... but like I say ive tried every driver there was for the card AND tested the theory on loads of other laptops with Intel/Realtek wifi cards and results are the same (scaled with their CPU power)

22 Useful Wireless Codes in Terminal0
Hey guys, sorry for the lack of updates due to my uni life & work.
For now, I'm giving you guys some useful codes to use in Terminal in case you need to set it up verbosely.
Ubuntu 12.04 Code Name Released!0
Yes, it is a tradition in canonical to release it in alphabetical order. I've expected that it will be Pxx Penguin or something. But it turns out to be Precise Pangolin. This is the announcements that was made by Mark Shuttleworth(Owner of Canonical):
Being generally of a cheerful nature, I thought we'd avoid the Predatory Panther and Primeval Possum. Neither sounds like great company for a seven year journey, really. Same goes for the Peccable Peccary, Pawky Python and Perfidious Puku. So many bullets to dodge round here!
[...] We've told the story of the cloud in previous releases, and that comes to fruition in 12.04 with the first LTS that supports both the cloud guest, and cloud infrastructure, across ARM and x86 architectures. We've also told the story of Unity in previous releases, and that comes to fruition in a fast, lean interface that works well across clients both thick and thin. 12.04 is going to be a lot more than all that, but for the full reveal, you'll need to wait till UDS! Nevertheless, we can take reliability, precision, and polish as a given.
Balancing all of those options, I think we have just the right mix in our designated mascot for 12.04 LTS. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you thePrecise Pangolin.
For those who doesn't know a pangolin, pangolin is also can be called scaly anteater or Trenggiling, many of them can be found in my country, Indonesia.
Ubuntu 11.04 has been released!1
Ubuntu 11.04(Natty Narwhal) has been released a couple of minutes ago!
I'll post a review after finished testing on it.

From Paula's Party
5 stars based on 47 Reviews
Servings: 4 servings
Prep Time: 3 hours 10 min
Cook Time: 8-14 minutes, depending on white or dark meat
Difficulty: Moderate
peanut oil for frying
1 2 1/2 pound chicken cut into pieces
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 cup self-rising flour
salt and pepper for seasoning chicken
1/3 cup water
3 eggs
Tip from Paula: My Grandmother Paul always said to season chicken and return it to the refrigerator and let it sit as long as time permits, at least 2 to 3 hours. And always use small chickens.
Beat eggs with water. Add black pepper to self-rising flour. Dip seasoned chicken in egg; coat well in flour mixture. Fry in moderately hot shortening, 350 degrees, in a cast iron skillet. Place lid on top of skillet and fry until brown and crisp. Remember that dark meat requires longer cooking time (about 13 to 14 minutes, compared to 8 to 10 minutes for white meat.)

Green tech flourishing at Gardens by the Bay
Summary: Singapore's latest icon--a superpark spanning over 100 hectares--features energy efficiency technologies which save up to 30 percent in electricity costs and generates up to 8 percent of own power needs.
There are more than a quarter of a million rare plants in Singapore's latest icon Gardens by the Bay--a superpark that covers more than 100 hectares, which threw open its doors to the public in June after being conceptualized six years ago.
The attractions include the world's largest green house, which comprises two domes that replicate environments from cooler and dryer climates.
Behind the scenes, a number of sustainabilty innovations have been incorporated into the design, making the gardens a showcase of energy efficiency technologies.
Some of the features include specially selected glass panels that minimize solar heat gain, and a cooling process that dehumidifies the air using a liquid dessicant system to save on energy, said Richard Pang, assistant director of facilities at Gardens by the Bay, adding these energy-efficiency technologies result in up to 30 percent of electricity savings.
The garden's dependency on the power grid is also reduced through the use of solar panels installed on some of its tower-like Supertree structures. Together with a biomass power generator, the gardens generates up to 8 percent of its electricity needs.

When I first met Eddie I was just getting back into physical fitness. I used the same basic routine from my college days all the way up until I was 30. It consisted of 3 workouts a week – chest and triceps, back and biceps and shoulders and legs (usually skipped the legs part). I would also add in a day or two of cardio or other physical activity during the week. At some point my workouts became less intense and less frequent. It was probably a combination of age, career and getting married but I just wasn't as motivated or interested in going to the gym.
When I moved back to Los Angeles in 2010 I decided to break the cycle. To do so I planned on joining a nice gym and finding a trainer would could give me some new workout ideas and then send me on my way. What I found in Eddie was someone who was passionate about health. Although he is a first rate trainer to call him a trainer does not account for all he does. He quickly had me in a program based on the latest science. I was embarrassed by how far I had let myself slip physically. His understanding of psychology and positive outlook turned my embarrassment into motivation and with his encouragement I progressed quickly. After a few sessions I was already feeling better and decided to sign up for 20 more sessions. We were working out 3 times a week and I was trying to fit in additional activity on my own. What I expected to be a few weeks working together soon turned into a few months. We were changing up the routine every 6-8 weeks and each new program had its ow n challenges. After 2 months we started talking more about nutrition.
At first it was subtle but I could tell Eddie had a real passion for looking at healthy living comprehensively. He knew for me to step to the next level I needed to start to focus more on what I was feeding myself but never preached to me. Although I had never "dieted" or been interested in talking about it I read a few of the books he suggested and figured I'd trust him and take a trial run. I started to look at food as nourishment and to understand the importance of protein, vitamins, minerals, fats and carbohydrates in balance. The results were truly amazing as my sleep improved, workouts were better and body composition changed. All these things proved to me that Eddie is an elite health and fitness advisor as well as personal trainer.
I am writing this testimonial now not because we reached my end goal but rather because I am moving to Chicago. In fact my goal all along was to be healthy for a long life not to hit a specific weight or bench press. Eddie provided me with the understanding of how our bodies consume and process food and the way we can influence that through exercise. With this knowledge I will be able to continue on for the rest of my life. For anyone who wants stats – in the first four months we worked out I lost 25 pounds and 10% body fat while improving in every strength and cardio measurement possible. Pretty good outcome for someone who just wanted to get a couple new workout suggestions.
"If you live in the South Bay, or visit it often, then I highly recommend that you take advantage of Eddie's training services. His knowledge of health and fitness, along with his creativity to continually motivate, makes Eddie Lester the best trainer I have ever worked with (hands down).
He will help you set and achieve realistic and healthy goals for yourself so that they are sustainable.
You will never get bored with a workout routine with Eddie, which makes training with him fun, motivating and challenging.
So, whether you are looking to complete a triathlon, gain muscle, drop fat, run faster, jump higher or achieve some other goal you have always wanted to realize then Eddie is the guy you want to work out with."

Paleo Diet Testimonial
My story before Paleo was that I weighed 215lbs, had bad GERD, was on Lexapro for depression, had high blood pressure meds just to keep me at 135/85 also had some serious IBS issues that I chalked up to spicy foods.
A friend talked to me about Paleo a while ago but never had a drive to give it a try. So I continued eating the way I was which got me to a weight I never believed I would ever see.
So it wasn't until Christmas Eve I was wrestling with my niece and my mother stated the obvious, "Is that a gut on you?". I was a little taken back but said yes I guess it is. It was that moment I said I was going to set a day to start this Paleo thing.
I bought Robb Wolf's Paleo Solution book and read it cover to cover and said this really isn't going to be that bad, because I was already lactose intolerant and was pretty sure I must have had an issue with grains, because I would either get IBS or GERD after eating them. It's sad that I never even put 2 and 2 together to realize I may have had a gluten issue all these years. I cleared out the fridge and went shopping to get started the next morning.
January 9th, 2011 was the day I started eating 100% paleo. It was a little tough getting up earlier to make breakfast and still have energy to drive 20 minutes to my downtown job. But each day got easier and easier and by the end of the first week I started to feel a little more energy during the day. My usual 2pm crashes were not happening. Granted, I still drink coffee, but went from cream and sugar to all black. It took some time to get used to black coffee but I actually enjoy it more now, because I can taste the coffee.
Each week I went to my BJJ (Brazilian Ju Jitszu) class and would weigh in just out of curiosity and was shocked to see I dropped 4lbs in one week and this rate continued up to the 4th week, resulting in a 16lb loss in those 4 weeks. In weeks 5-8, I was still losing but it was a pound or two at most, but hey, I was still losing.
My actual goal was to get down to 190lbs as that was my normal weight for years and I felt decent at that weight. I hit that goal after 10weeks so I said lets see if I get to 185lbs? Then I will start adding more carbs (good ones) as I was probably only eating 50-70 grams a day but still felt great. No more GERD, IBS, and my blood pressure was getting better (still on meds) but the numbers were slowly going down.
Now it was time to try to get rid of Lexapro because I honestly HATE taking meds unless it's absolutely necessary. But from the horror stories I read online about the withdrawal effects I was nervous but determined.
At this point my mother had to chime in to tell me I was too thin now. I just laughed and said I am fine. According to the bullshit BMI chart I was still over weight, but I never go by that and at least it was a good enough answer for her to hear.
Around week 16, I surpassed the 185lb mark and was shocked to be around 183lbs. I was still ecstatic because the lightest I have ever been since I was 21 years old was 185lb. This was the week of my annual doctors appointment and she was shocked to see I lost over 30lbs since my last visit 6 months ago and my blood pressure was 120/70. She never asked what I did. She just said whatever you're doing is working because my blood work was great. She was also glad to hear I was able to kick the Lexapro to the curb. Since my BP was good I asked her if I can start working on getting off of the BP medication? Sshe said absolutely, so I am currently working on taking smaller doses and keeping track to make sure I stay in range.
It's been just over 18 weeks and I am happy to say I now weigh in at 180lbs. I still have not increased my carbs yet, but may need to start doing this soon once I get back into my 3 days a week of BJJ as it can be a very draining, demanding sport and I believe my body will be looking for another source of energy.
My journey continues on Paleo, all my IBS, GERD issues are completely gone ever since I started paleo. I sleep like a champ, eat like a pig, feel great. I love when people notice the difference and ask what I did. Most people say "forget that" I need my pasta, milk, cheese etc. I just say that's your choice as this was mine and I am #winning .

The aftermath, Oct. 29 and beyond - USAFSS in the Cuban Missile Crisis
by Gabe Marshall
Air Force ISR Agency History Office
12/12/2012 -
JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO - LACKLAND, Texas
-- The Soviet Union agreement to remove their medium-range ballistic missiles from Cuba on Oct. 28, 1962, effectively ended the Cuban Missile Crisis.
For the United States Air Force Security Service, the successful end of the crisis between the superpowers reinforced its place in history as a provider of invaluable intelligence to U.S. forces.
After the crisis one lesson became clear--it changed the way the command planned for contingency operations and showed that USAFSS could quickly respond to any Cold War hotspot.
The USAFSS C-130 Airborne Communications Reconnaissance Program operations against Cuba continued for months after the Soviets' removed the missiles from the island.
By Dec. 1, the command's ground-based collection mission at Cudjoe Key, Fla., had more than 250 personnel engaged in operations.
Even though U.S. land forces returned to garrison and the Strategic Air Command's massive bomber force scaled down its alert status, USAFSS planned to expand the ground operations in southern Florida.
On Feb. 1, 1963, USAFSS activated the 6947th Security Squadron at Key West Naval Air Station, Fla., to replace the original Emergency Reaction Unit that deployed there in October 1962. The 6947th SS, and its successor units, maintained a presence at several locations in the Florida Keys until June 30, 1996.
Later in 1963, as a direct result of its experience in Cuban Missile Crisis, USAFSS activated three new ERU squadrons to support contingencies around the world.
The command stood-up the 6948th Security Squadron (Mobile) at Goodfellow Air Force Base, Tex., on July 1, 1963. By late 1963, ERU operations began in Europe and the Pacific with the 6911th SSM at Darmstadt, Germany and the 6926th SSM at Clark AB, the Philippines.
Command planners envisioned a larger global ERU capability. They wanted USAFSS to quickly respond to any trouble spot that required communications intelligence and secure communications.
In retrospect, in the fast-paced Cold War world of the 1960s, USAFSS had already established ground units in South Vietnam and Thailand.
Clearly, the Cuban Missile Crisis, in America's own backyard, proved to be a turning point for the command. USAFSS proved that it could meet the difficult challenge of rapidly deploying an intelligence collection capability to meet the needs of the war fighter and the nation's leaders.
Editor's Note: This is the third and final part in the series on USAFSS in the Cuban Missile Crisis.

It's been a zombie-themed day.
First off, someone texted me this:
I won't say that when I got married there was a checkbox for 'can kill zombies', but there was a checkbox for 'will not impede or hinder preparedness'.
Then, for giggles I head over to Rosauers to see how their 25% off sale on storage food was going. Quite well, apparently…there were some major gaps on the shelves. I like to think I', kinda responsible for that by letting the local LMI's know.
And finally, I watched E2S3 of 'The Walking Dead' yesterday. One thing I enjoy about this show is that afterwards my wife usually gets thoughtful and makes supportive comments about our lifestyle or recommends that we buy more food/gear/ammo. Thumbs up, either way.
And finally , this amazing email from REI shows up:
Missoula REI — Zombie Preparedness – Surviving a Zombie Apocalypse
Description: Imagine a viral outbreak has occurred wiping out a majority of the local population and other major cities throughout the globe. The fatal virus is to be considered highly contagious and dangerous. Nicknamed the "Zombie Disease," because those killed by the disease seem to be returning to life and prey upon the living. We are now facing a full fledged attack. Those of us left alive must now ask ourselves, "Where do we go from here? How will we survive and maintain the existence of the human race?" You are invited to attend the Zombie Preparedness Class at REI, where you will learn valuable survival techniques that could save your life. These same techniques could be invaluable in the event of any natural disaster in an urban environment.
My first thought was not "Are they serious?", my first thought was not "Awesome!", no..my first thought was "REI has a zombie specialist?". I must attend this…if for no other reason than to see who shows up. I mean, really…what's the crowd for this gonna look like? I expect a mix of casual college-age 'this sounds like fun' types, a few tinfoil hatters, and some 'maybe this is really about preparedness' types. I wonder what the pitch at REI management was like when this came up .."Steve! I've got an idea for a class!…."

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Tanking in LFD is pretty much hell right now (for me), esp solo tanking. About the only reason i would tank is for guildies. Chief issues are: 1) Tanks have *way* more responsibility, 2) Tanking requires more skill than dps (especially when the dps f- it up.) 3) There is no meaningful reward once you have ilvl346. VP is too small to be useful. 4) Everyone expects well geared tanks, but if you don't raid, you are pretty much stuck.
So yeah i dont think this is enough. Its a very interesting concept though, and it follows a trend of addressing issues that occur because the community is not able to police itself any more. (vote kick is the biggie).
But really, the issue is with LFD in itself leading to anonymity, and the vote kick abuse that goes on nearly every dungeon. Sadly I do not know of any real solution that blizz can offer.
Still, this seems exciting.

The water level on Lake Minnetonka is up more than one foot since the start of May.
On Monday, the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District had the lake measured at 929.14 feet, exactly one foot higher than the mark on May 4.
Lake Minnetonka water levels
Not long ago, many worried water levels would dip low due to a persistent drought -- and that's why the dam at Grey's Bay was closed off. After recent rains, however, it reopened late last month.
The Minnehaha Watershed District said the higher water arrived just in time to stop many homeowners from scrambling to lengthen their docks.
"It's still not ideal canoeing conditions but there is some flow," says Renae Clark with the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District. "Might still be a bit low for this time of year, but for July-August it's certainly normal."
Despite the increase many would like to see the lake level increase another foot.

The Republican Party of Virginia is calling on the Mecklenburg County GOP to take down offensive photos of President Obama posted on the local group's Facebook page.
The photos depict Obama as a cavemen, a thug and a witch doctor. The site also includes a picture of someone making an obscene gesture at Obama's presidential bus and another of someone holding a sign linking Obama to Nazis.
"These kinds of images have no place in political discourse. Period," Pat Mullins, chairman of the state party, said in a statement. "They are offensive, tasteless, and should never have been posted anywhere, let alone a local unit's Facebook page. The Republican Party of Virginia condemns this sort of imagery in the strongest possible terms. I am in the process of contacting our Mecklenburg County unit to inform them that this is unacceptable behavior from any local unit associated with our party."
As of Wednesday, some of the pictures were still online and many have been on the web page for months, the Washington Post first reported Tuesday.
It's the second time in a year the Virginia GOP has been forced to disavow a local affiliate for inappropriate pictures. Last October, the Loudoun County Republican Party was admonished for circulating a flyer depicting Obama as a zombie with a bullet hole in his head.

I highly recommend to anyone who has been unable to find a product that encourages rapid hair growth.
I have been taking this product for 1 week and I am happy to report that my hair is shedding at a very minimum now.
I have nearly gone through my entire bottle and have not gotten similar results as the other people who have reviewed this nor what was said about it in the video I watched.
I have always had fast growing nails so its impossible to tell if the pills did anything for the growth of it.
I will probably purchase another bottle and see if prolonged usage does any help.
It is likely to take at least three months before you actually see tangible results.
I stopped using hairfinity after a month because I thought I could find something cheaper at walmart that would give me the same results.
So I went and bought all the vitamins that were in the hairfinity muti vitamins separately at walmart.
BUT if your hair is damaged while taking these vitamins you will not see the growth because your ends will be breaking off.
The Adobe Flash Player or an HTML5 supported browser is required for video playback.
Black Hair growth Pills uhm i dont know but i do use this oil do gro that is in the ethnic section of themarket and i dont know if it really helps but i like to think it does.
I wanna someone to recommend something to me or something were I can get peoples opinion on it.
I figure that it could hurt because I read somewhere that the bodies machinery works in such away that the hair and nails are usually the last to get the proper nutrients.
There is an herbal formula called HIR made by New Body Products that will have everyone asking.
I used that years ago when I was young and my hair was naturally thicker and it did make a difference.
Nails vitamins that I got from the dollar store and I seemed to get similar results without the extra acne.
I have notice that my hair has thicken up been taken them twice a day for a few months now.
Fish Oil which is good for heart health as well as hair and I am seeing improvements also.
WELL ensure what ever vitamins u use it has the right proportion of each vitamin .
Amino Acids are important for your health and they can also help you to have superior hair growth.
I use Biotin and B12 and been taking a multi by Nioxin made specifically for hair growth.

I highly recommend to anyone who has been unable to find a product that encourages rapid hair growth.

Beer Guide: All About Pale Ale
Now that the weather is getting warmer, we're all about the pale ales! The crisp, clean flavors of these beers are perfect for hot afternoons next to the grill. What pale ales are you enjoying right now?
There are some key characteristics that most pale ales share. They are generally brewed with paler malts using a top-fermenting yeast and at a slightly higher temperature than other types of beer. The finished beer does tend to be paler in color, though they can range from very light golden to darker amber. They are also clear ales with no yeast sediment.
Pale ales are typically very hoppy and have bold bitter flavors with floral aromas and undertones of malty sweetness (especially on the finish). These beers really perk up the taste buds and open your eyes! Some common flavor associations are grassy, floral, citrus, tangy, and mineral.
We find India pale ales (IPAs) to be especially bitter, which makes sense given the legend that this style became popular with East India Company traders because the hops kept the beer preserved over long sea voyages. On the other hand, double pale ales tend to be a bit mellower. They have hops added at both the beginning and end of brewing for more rounded flavors and aromas.
In both cooking and food pairing, we like the fresh flavor of pale ales with seafood and salads - as in our recipe for Linguine with Mussels and Dandelion Greens. We also think pale ales go well with spicy foods like Indian, Thai, and Mexican because of their cooling and palate-cleansing qualities!
Recently, we've really enjoyed Smuttynose Shoals Pale Ale, Dale's Pale Ale, and Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA. What others would your recommend trying?

Sierra Nevada Pale Ale.
I love a bit of bitterness, and I love IPAs, but I have to say I don't ever detect bitterness in IPA. To me, it tastes almost floral, bursting with complex and bright flavors. Perhaps it's a personal palate oddity ...
Last summer I really enjoyed Brooklyn Brewery's Summer Ale. Lots of herb and citrus flavor -- a tiny bit of champagne notes, even! Very, very nice in the summer.
Favorite Pale Ales -
Mirror Pond out of Deschute's Brewery in Oregon is one of my favorites - oh so very tasty. Heavier hops but also maltier than many pales.
Bell's Pale Ale from Kalamazoo, MI is nice - a bit more bitter than I like my pales, and not very complex, but that can be what is needed sometimes.
Great Lakes Burning River is nicely balanced, lightly hopped and lightly citrusy. I can drink more of these than I should.
Done pretending I know stuff about beer. :)
An excellent IPA is Bell's Two Hearted Ale. It's brewed in Kalamazoo, Mich. We used to drink this all the time when I went to school at Michigan State.
It has a very bold taste, but not so much that you can't enjoy a few bottles. It used to be more difficult to find, but it's become pretty popular in recent years. You can find it at most stores with a good beer selection.
i will never grow tired of Sierra Nevada. it is my favorite "can get most anywhere" beer. bell's two hearted is also a fave.
Harpoon makes a great IPA if you're in the Northeast and can get it.
Yard's Philly Pale Ale, crisp and citrusy!
Terrapin Rye Pale Ale is awesome! And yeah, Sierra Nevada is always a good backup.
Summit Pale Ale.
That beer looks really good right about now.
I was going to say Terrapin Rye too! The local grad student hangout has Terrapin pints for $1.50 on Thursdays (our typical day there).
Hooray for Bell's Two-Hearted Ale! It's long been my favorite: not too floral, not too hoppy, but juuuust right! And we can finally get it in Illinois again!
Another recent find is Acme's California IPA. Really nice, and well-balanced. I've also enjoyed Lost Coast's Indica IPA, Victory's HopDevil, and Flying Dog's Double Dog Pale Ale.
But if any of you hop fiends out there can find it, get your hands on some Bell's Hop Slam. They only make it once a year, and now's the time. It's a bit pricey, but man is it good! It packs a punch, too, so fair warning. :)
Harpoon IPA or Whale's Tale Pale Ale. Dear god the Whale's Tale! So delicious! And sadly, only available on Nantucket.
It is not a pale ale but Sierra Nevada Summerfest, that is summer to me!
I don't generally like beer, but I haven't tried many varieties. However, I know I like cider. Are pale ales similar to cider at all? It would be nice to have a beer I could actually tolerate.
There are literally WAY too many to list... kudos to someone up there mentioning Mirror Pond, which is my fav though i cannot get it in the Southeast... another unavailable here is a beer called Hop Hearty from the New Glarus Brewery in WI. (only available in WI, i think - but it is outstanding...)
down south - the Sweetwater IPA is far superior to their other pale ale - 420. Also, Highland Brewery in Asheville NC makes a few great pale ales - st. terese's, kashmir, and Gaelic.
and i'll also agree that Terrapin Rye PA is great as well...
PS - one of the best IPAs out there is Bridgeport IPA from portland OR. Really, if it is an IPA from Oregon, then it will be great.
Seconding Bridgeport IPA as well as Mirror Pond. Lagunitas and Stone IPAs are also very good - strong and hoppy.

Kelly Murphy of Walton High School as its 2010-11 Gatorade Georgia Volleyball Player of the Year. Murphy is the second Gatorade Georgia Volleyball Player of the Year to be chosen from Walton High School.
The award, which recognizes not only outstanding athletic excellence, but also high standards of academic achievement and exemplary character demonstrated on and off the court, distinguishes Murphy as Georgia's best high school volleyball player.
The 6-foot junior outside hitter led the Raiders to a 42-7 record and a second consecutive Class AAAAA state title this past season. Murphy recorded 28 kills and 10 digs in a 3-1 Class AAAAA state championship victory against Northview. The Class AAAAA Player of the Year as named by the Georgia Volleyball Coaches Association, she averaged 4.5 kills, 3.4 digs, 0.7 service aces and 0.2 blocks per game while posting a hitting percentage of .436 this fall. A returning Class AAAAA First Team All-State selection, Murphy produced 613 kills, 179 digs, 61 service aces and 55 blocks as a junior, leading the Raiders (44-6) to the state championship. Her 613 kills in 2009 rank eighth all-time for a single season in state history.
Murphy has maintained a 4.00 GPA in the classroom. In addition to donating her time as youth volleyball instructor, she has volunteered as part of multiple community-service initiatives on behalf of her church and the Young Life Christian ministry.
"Her work ethic is off the charts, and she was something to watch during sets two and three at the finals this year," said Walton Head Coach Suzanne Fitzgerald. "She called her team to battle. I cannot say enough about how this girl continues to grow and develop as a player. Her serve-receive numbers improved, her defense was comparable to our libero and her attacking numbers speak for themselves. She is an incredible talent."
Murphy will begin her senior year of high school next fall.
Murphy joins recent Gatorade Georgia Volleyball Players of the Year Mary Hoey (2009-10, Pope), Monique Mead (2008-09, Landmark Christian) and Betsy Smith (2007-08, Wesleyan School) among the state's list of former award winners.

A Lodi man was arrested after evading police and leading them on a chase, according to the Lodi Police Department.
It was just after 8 p.m. on Sunday when officers noticed Kenneth Angel, 55, riding his bicycle against traffic on Cherokee Lane. The officers attempted to pull him over to address the traffic violation, police said, but Angel pulled a U-turn and yelled "I'm not gonna stop."
