Locally wed grooms pop the question with one-of-a-kind proposals
The Big Picture
"W e were on Kiawah Island with our families and one morning, I woke up at 5 a.m. to take a picture of the ring I had custom-designed for Katharine. Then I took shots of the ordeal that is getting her out of bed at that hour. Just after the sun came up, I told her to look through the photos on the camera. As she scrolled through, she froze at the picture of the ring. I got down on one knee, pulled out the real ring, and asked her if she would let me be so lucky as to spend the rest of my life with her."
—Wes Earnhardt married Katharine Haklisch June 14, 2008 at Saint Mary of the Annunciation Catholic Church

"Ihad Taylor's engagement ring for a little over two months and was just waiting for the right opportunity to propose. We went to South Florida to visit my parents and I scheduled a surprise tandem parasail boat ride for the two of us—something she had always wanted to do. I told Taylor we were going on a beach walk, then took her to the ocean cruiser. Once we were airborne and at the end of the line, the world seemed to stop. It was so beautiful and surprisingly quiet up there, and we could see for miles. (Later she said she could tell by the look on my face what I was about to do.) She teared up, and I asked her to be my wife. I always tell people that the view was gorgeous but that it didn't compare to how beautiful Taylor looked when she said, 'Yes.' When we were back on the ground, I gave her the ring."
—Jonathan Feuling married Taylor Vaughn May 3, 2008 at Tidewater Chapel
For the Record
"I'm an inveterate keeper of receipts, programs, and mementos, so I made a 'Laura' file. On our one-year anniversary, I introduced her to the file, and we had a great time looking back through all of the memories. After that, I knew I wanted to marry her, and I began keeping a list of reasons why in my Bible. When we exchanged Christmas gifts that year, the last package I gave her contained a blank file folder with the list inside. I got down on one knee and read each item to her. When I finished, I told her I wanted to begin a new folder of memories with her in our new life together."
—Scott Berggren married Laura Luehrs on May 25, 2008 at East Cooper Baptist Church

A postcard I received this morning from a friend holidaying in Cornwall. It shows Cornwall Technical College in Redruth. (If I recall correctly it is now known as the Camborne campus of Cornwall College.)
When I stayed in Portreath a few years ago I remember the Tamar building (the lovely exposed concrete building in the centre of the picture) was often visible above the trees on trips to Redruth or Camborne. I'd meant on several occasions to visit and photograph it—I never got around to it. I did think, however, there would be plenty of photographs on the internet, unfortunately there were not. So I'm doubly glad to have received this wonderful picture.

PLAYERS: Vladimir Tarasenko, Kyle Quincey
TEAMS: St. Louis Blues, Detroit Red Wings
TEAMS: St. Louis Blues, Detroit Red Wings
If you're not a fan of the St. Louis Blues, or if you're not a hockey fan that pours over each and every NHL roster, you might not have heard of Vladimir Tarasenko until after he scored two beautiful goals in his first NHL game. In fact, if you weren't able to catch up on your NHL highlights, you still might be in the dark about this talented young Russian. I'll summarize what you might have missed - This is one NHL rookie you need to watch, regardless of your team affiliation. The Vladimir Tarasenko hype has been growing in the St. Louis area ever since the team drafted him 16th overall in the 2010 NHL Draft. At that time, Tarasenko had been skating in the KHL with HC Sibir, a team he originally made his KHL debut for in 2008. He played with them for three seasons before being traded to SKA St. Petersburg in 2012. Fans of Tarasenko saw him develop into a lethal talent in the KHL, one capable of providing offense where seemingly no offense exists. Don't...

Jane, we should never be laughed at for our caring and concern for our patients. Sure, there are those who simply don't understand the emotion, but they need to learn to respect it. And certainly we must be careful not to "cross the line" between humanism and the development of inappropriate relationships with patients and their families. But, given the choice, I would rather have a doctor who genuinely cares about my well-being than one who is the smartest person in the world.
Thanks for taking the time to comment.

The Ministry of Human Resources Development (HRD) and Ministry of Law and Justice (along with Ministry of Health) are at loggerheads over taking reigns of legal education in India. The present scena
Have no enough money to buy a car? You should not worry, just because that is available to take the business loans to resolve all the problems. Therefore get a consolidation loan to buy all you require.
The BCI is doing a lot of good these days..the legal profession is very different from others and so is the study curriculum..the BCI knows this and understands what students need and what the law schools should be..i think the PM should go with BCI.
Today the condition/ position of School of Law or Law colleges are measurabe and critical like the Secondary Schools in the hand of Management bodies. These bodies do not take Academic care as well as administrative care. The reason is that norms for appointment of teaching Staff is fixed by UGC and Management bodies are empower for appointments Syllabus is by Bar Council, Administration is in hand of Universities and release of payment is in hand of State Governments.Another issue of medium of languages i.e. Regional Language are imposing for teaching of Law. So, it is nothing but hurdles / barriers to provide legal education to student instead of make it easy to each and every individuals for understanding and attachment to law. Now here like Indian Medical Association, Association of Technical Education through out India and on International level only one authority or association should be setup by the HRD / Law Ministry who should dealt with all type of aspects instead of intereferance of various Authorities, Educational Instiutions in this field. This work should be done by Bar Council of India or a Seprate Law Commission should be established with qualified legal professional, Legal Accademeics, Judges of Supreme Court and High Court with Veto powers for each and every issue. In my view in this way legal education school can able to provide / understand the object of Law to a simple and ordinary man in India. It is the need of time because several laws are present but Citizens are aware of the laws. The BAR Council or Law Commission form for development of Law should also use a separate media or Channel on TV for each and every aspects to be noticed to public for each and every law.
The cause of legal education will only be helped if the HRD ministry controls it. The Bar Council of India should be confined to as an organized body of law practitioners which conducts a standardized Bar Exam just like the Institution of Engineers which also conducts its own version of certification examinations for people desiring to qualify as practicing engineers. Logically speaking, there is and should not be any role more than this for the Bar Council or the Ministry of Law and Justice in the legal profession.

Some people like both,

Respect your opinions,
And the opinions of others. "
Some words need to be different color so you can see them. Also this is really sloppy because I did it so fast because of everything going on on the dash tonight.
Also this is relevant to post since I've been stalking her art all day, oops.

Love this set for the money I paid. Clean up is awesome and cooking easy. My only complaint is that the lids don't fit the large skillet. How can T-fal screw this up? So I have to use a lid from my old set which fits. This is why I lowered to a 4 star. I mean it's still a great value and will recommend but really T-fal, your designers don't use pots and pans in their own homes.
This is a high quality cookware set. The pots are light to handle, but heavy enough to distribute heat evenly. This is important to me because I have rheumatoid arthritis. They are beautifully designed and look nice on the stove. The handles are very comfortable and glass lids allow you to view the food without lifting the lid. I think the price was very reasonable for the quality. I highly recommend the set.
I bought my first set and had to get me a 2nd one, i decided to get rid of all my old pots and pans and replaced them with these as well as a 10in covered deep saute pan and a 5qt Jumbo Cooker w/Lid. I love them all very easy to clean right weight and size. You truly cant go wrong.
Lightweight, well-made and easy to clean. Love these.
This is a great cookware set; we have a glass top range and the cookware does not slide around or wabble, the only thing I wish it had was a glass top for the larger frying pan other than that; it is a great product with a great price.
I brought this set for my daughter for her birthday and she loves it. I am tempted to purchase the same for myself.
I had been using Farberware aluminum pots for ages....a good set...but aluminum. EVERYTHING would burn if you didn't stand right over the stove and keep an eye on it!!! I had finally had it!! I had purchased T-Fal frying pans and really liked them, so I started shopping around for pots and lo and behold I found this whole set!!! Eureka!!! I LOVE MY COOKWARE!!!! Haven't had burnt offerings since I started using them. Easy to clean up....just rinse and wipe.....they have truly made me a very, very happy person.....you'll not be sorry....
This set is really nice and cooks well and very easy to clean
Came with a scratch already in one of the frying pans. The quality isn't there and they don't even feel heavy and usually the heavier the better.
I had been searching for the best price and best product for this hard-anodized set as a gift for my son. This was his only request for Christmas - "a set of cookware that doesn't burn things on my stove". After I searched extensively for what type of cookware was recommended, I found the T-fal set met the highest rating in a reasonable price range, since my budget was limited. Then Overstock.com really made my day when I found this item for *** less than any other reputable online shopping location, and the deal was sweetened with free shipping. I couldn't believe that the delivery man was knocking on my door less than 36 hours after I placed my order! When I checked out the product I was impressed by the quality, and can't wait for my son to try it out and have scorch free meals! Very impressed, Overstock.com!

Grant Cermak
For Minneapolis City Council, Ward 4
I have a B.S. in computer science with a minor in mathematics from the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities. Recently I have completed two years of graduate work toward a PhD in computer science with an emphasis in artificial intelligence. Over the last 10 years I have worked as a software engineer for companies specializing in robotics/automation, medical imaging, and hearing aid manufacturing. I have
two patents
and have
published papers
at scientific conferences. My career in software requires the keenest eye for detail. Even a single jot or tittle out of place can wreak havoc in a software system. This experience in attention to detail will serve me as your representative. As bills come across my desk I will delve into the minutiae to ensure that these bills are not creating loopholes or costing you money.
I am a scientist and lifelong student. I learned the scientific method in high school and refined my understanding of it in college physics and quantum mechanics. This method of understanding is the best way that humanity has developed to sound understanding and it can be applied in all forms of life. However most of our politicians are woefully under trained in the sciences and thus make laws which make no sense. We need more scientists in charge of public policy. As a trained scientist I can bring a scientific eye to legislation and help refine bills so that they do not run afoul of scientific progress.
I continuously seek to find new understanding through continuous study. Currently I am engaged in studying ancient history especially the origins of civilization – the near east, Greco/Roman history, the history of the Vikings/Nordic people, and the history of Medieval Europe. These studies have shined a light on my understanding of our present day. I have also been studying economics and law.
My wife Jennifer and I have been married for 5 years and we've lived in North Minneapolis since 2000. While in college I lived in South Minneapolis so I've been a resident of the area for over 12 years.
My father is a financial planner, mortician, and bail bondsman. He has inspired me to continuously try new endeavors in life and never seek a place of complacency. We grew up in humble beginnings in the Iron Range. So I have seen firsthand the effects that globalization can have (both positive and negative). My mother is a registered nurse and tireless adventurer. She never gives up and is always seeking to expand her horizons. I have learned much from my parents, friends, and family and hope to bring these experiences and knowledge into service for you as state representative.

Globalteer is UK registered charity providing volunteer placements abroad. We work with various wildlife conservation and rescue centres in Asia. Our partner wildilfe sanctuary in Thailand is dedicated to the rescue and rehabilitation of wild animals such as gibbons, macaques and bears which have been previously exploited as pets, used for profit within the tourist industry or rescued from the illegal wildlife trade. Most of the animals residing at the sanctuary were maltreated before they arrived here, suffering from abuse, malnutrition, neglect and improper care. Many of the animals arrive with permanent disabilities and hence, cannot be returned to the wild. The mission is to give these animals the best quality of life possible in captivity. Construction of seven gibbon islands have been completed, allowing the gibbons to move about freely, to establish territories and mates, and to live a life as close as possible to a life in the wild. The wildlife sanctuary also has an education centre as it is considered that educating the locals and future generations is essential to the Thailand's wildlife conservation. To find out more about wildlife conservation in Asia, visit our Thailand Wildlife Rescue Centre Information page. To read first hand accounts of volunteering at the animal rescue and conservation centre, read our Thailand Wildlife Rescue Volunteer Stories.
The wildlife sanctuary is located 2 to 3 hours south of the capital, Bangkok near a small village. The centre is next to a lake, surrounded by dense forest and National Parks that are important to Thailand's wildlife conservation. Less than an hour away are the beach resorts of Cha Am and Hua Hin where the volunteers go for shopping, days off and nights out. The local village has fast internet access, shops and bars but has no tourists so is a real insight into the Thai way of life. Volunteers can arrange camping trips into the remote jungles or go on night safaris to spot Thailand's wild animals. To find out more about Thailand, visit our Volunteering in Thailand Fact File.
The accommodation at the wildlife sanctuary is in basic bungalows, where rooms are mostly on a share basis. The bungalows have fans, western style toilets and cold showers. At the front of the centre is a communal area and kitchen. Volunteers have access to free hot drinks, filtered water, bread, jam and other essentials. Two main meals are prepared by the cook, Thai and occasionally western meals also catering to vegetarians and vegans. Evenings can be spent watching satellite TV or DVD's, relaxing with a book or socializing with fellow volunteers.
When new enclosures are being constructed volunteers can assist, as well as in the continual maintenance and re-design of existing enclosures. You will work closely with the animals but we have a no contact policy for the safety of you and the animals. The animals are wild and can bite and scratch. Disease transmission is possible between animals and people, and can be fatal to young or weak animals. The work can be hard in the tropical climate, but as always, you only get out what you put into this unique and rewarding experience. You can join the sanctuary for a minimum of two weeks up to three months, for longer periods volunteers can speak directly to the director at the centre. Got any questions about volunteering with wildlife in Thailand? Try our Thailand Wildlife Sanctuary Frequently Asked Questions.
Bouncer was caught in a bear trap by poachers at only a few months old. His front leg was irreparably damaged and had to be amputated. He now lives in a huge enclosure at the sanctuary which he moves around with no problems and is quite a dominant bear - people often do not notice that he only has three legs!
Zach is a non-native species of gibbon and was smuggled from abroad into Thailand. He was rescued from a live animal market in Bangkok when he was very young. The staff at the sanctuary successfully hand reared Zach and he now lives in a group with other young gibbons.
John lived for 12 years in a tiny rubbish filled cage in a temple. He was very underweight and stressed on arrival at our conservation centre, pulling out his own fur, rocking back and forth and self abusing. John's "stressed" behaviour has calmed now that he lives in a large enclosure at the sanctuary and he has become the alpha male in a family group.
Rescued from a struggling sanctuary in southern Thailand. They were kept in a muddy pit where their offspring's dead bodies were left to decompose. Currently residing in a large enclosure full of vegetation.
You can help out in the future caring for these beautiful creatures in cooperation with professional mahouts (elephant handlers). The elephants are walked, washed and fed daily to provide them with a comfortable and safe environment, they even sleep in an open environment to provide an atmosphere as close to their wild relatives as possible. There is a tourist resort about 5km from the sanctuary where volunteers can use the facilities, including a pool, for free. Days off can also be spent at the beach in Cha Am or Hua Hin which are less than an hour away. Cha Am is a quiet resort frequented mostly by Thais whilst Hua Hin is busier and has many western tourists. You can find great shopping opportunities, great nightlife and a variety of restaurants at both resorts.
Sunday night is market night in the local village where you can try a variety of Thai foods from the street stalls or shop for cheap bargains. The rescue project is on temple grounds and therefore you can see authentic Thai temples and even a 15 metre long laying Buddha, all close to the sanctuary. Visit the local village to get an experience that very few foreigners get. The village is just a 5 minute walk from the centre but is not frequented by tourists, so you get a unique insight into true Thai culture unaffected by the huge influx of tourists that the rest of Thailand experiences.
Camping in the National park. Occasionally volunteers get together and hire a taxi into the local jungle. Overnight camping, treks and visiting the waterfalls in a rarely visited parks is an unforgettable experience that is highly recommended. You can see a variety of animals, birds, insects and amazing vegetation.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Given that they're going out of their way to remove stat sticks from the game, I doubt that monks will avoid using weapons entirely (although there's still feral druids with their stat polearm or whatever).
I'm worried about the monk model primarily because high damage specials and no auto-attacks means a lot of burst potential (queue the pvp crying). There's also this weird thing about haste scaling; unless chi regeneration scales really well with haste, it'll be a pretty lousy stat for monks. Not that this is a huge issue, but there we are.
I predict: dual-wield for DPS, staves / polearms for tanking. Wands or staves for healing. I'd love a crouching tiger kind of sword-fighting scheme, but the challenge of balancing single-wield 1H weapons with no offhand, 2H and DW seems a bit strong.
I'd expect the tooltips just gave a final answer; it's not like the tooltips in-game tell you exactly how they get their numbers, even if you can datamine the formulas they use.
I'd be surprised if the strikes with unarmed visuals fail to take weapon damage into account, since weapon DPS is even calculated into feral druid damage these days.
If they don't take Weapon DPS into account, it'll be because Weapon DPS will be joining defense and armor pen as an ex-stat. And if that happens, all the spellpower will vanish from caster stat-sticks, too, since it fulfilled that same role. I mean, they're planning to re-stat pretty much the whole game anyway; seems the time to do it if they don't like the current system (not that I've not read anything to that effect.)
I'm pretty convinced that they will use a method similar to feral druids, where we scale with the DPS/attack power of the weapon, but the weapon speed is meaningless. First, back in vanilla, druids ONLY scaled with agi & str found on the weapon (no bonus damage from the weapon DPS increase at all, no procs or anything). Later in vanilla, druids ran around with "feral attack power" instead of scaling from weapon DPS so that we could hit harder when our weapons hit harder, which Blizzard eventually corrected to now scaling off weapon DPS (but our claws hit the same speed and the weapon DPS just gets factored into scaling with our gear).
Given what Blizzard has learned about failed mechanics from feral druids, I would expect the monk to scale with weapon DPS in a similar way that feral druids do.

Whistler Blackcomb goes public
Whistler Blackcomb's owner Fortress Investment Group recently announced that it was taking the ski resort public. This decision comes after an unsuccessful bid to sell the resort outright in order to repay $296 million in debt. In response to lukewarm reception from investors, Whistler Blackcomb holdings reduced the initial offering share price from CDN $14-15 to $12.
Despite the still lingering lure of the Olympics, Whistler is seen as a high-risk investment due to its dependence on volatile weather patterns, according to Dow Jones Newswires. In today's uncertain market, investors prefer to stick to low risk ventures and safer markets.
Whistler declined to comment on the ongoing process.
But Whistler's not the only ski resort waving the For Sale flag these days. The publicly held Vail Resorts announced last week that it closed on its acquisition of Northstar-at-Tahoe. The sale means that Vail's Epic passholders now will have unrestricted access to Vail's Colorado resorts and California's Northstar and Sierra-at-Tahoe, in addition to Heavenly Resort, which Vail has owned since 2002.
Idaho's Tamarack Resort has been searching without success for a buyer since its collapse in 2008 and owes the state $250,000 by November 5 for the lease on its land. The state says it's unlikely the ski resort will open if the money isn't paid.

AMD Names Thomas Seifert Chief Financial Officer
20-year semiconductor industry veteran with proven financial, operations and management experience
SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- AMD (NYSE: AMD) today announced the appointment of Thomas Seifert as senior vice president and chief financial officer. Seifert, 46, will report to Dirk Meyer, AMD president and chief executive officer, and will have responsibility for leading the company's global financial organization. Seifert succeeds Robert Rivet, who was previously promoted to chief operations and administrative officer.
"Thomas is a talented industry veteran with a wealth of knowledge and experience managing the operations and finances of companies in the most difficult and competitive sectors of the semiconductor industry," said Meyer. "This knowledge and experience will enable him to further strengthen AMD's financial foundation and help accelerate our transformation into a product design and marketing leader."
Thomas Seifert - Chief Bean Counter - AMD
Seifert joins AMD from Qimonda, where he most recently was a member of the Management Board as well as chief operating officer and chief financial officer. Previously, Seifert was senior vice president and general manager of the Wireline Business Group at Infineon AG.
Seifert received a bachelor's degree from Friedrich Alexander University, a master's degree in economics from Wayne State University, and a master's degree in business administration from Friedrich Alexander University.

Count those beans!
1, 2, 3, 4 cores .......
Best of luck to him; That's a pretty tough job he's walking into.
I haven't been too optimistic about AMD's future, but I hope they can give Intel some more competition in the future so that we consumers can continue to reap the benefits of the resulting innovation.
Yeah, AMD is taking tons of losses and I don't know how long random Middle East companies can save them. Hopefully this guy can do something to help. One thing that worries is me what will happen to ATi since unlike Intel vs AMD, ATi has been arguably the better choice over Nvidia for the past 15+ months. A monopoly on either front would be bad for consumers, so let's see AMD get in the profit zone for once!
Yeah: we definitely want to see the ATi portion stay in business for the same reasons.
nVidia *will* release a GPU that trumps the latest Radeon, but it might take them 6 months or more to compete at the same price level... let's hope that ATi can make some cash in that time to invest in their next leap-frog release.
I half-expect/hope for AMD to come out any day and announce they are about to release their own uber-secret C/GPU processor, and put Intel back in the catch-up mode they haven't experience since the Athlon64 days. That's just me dreaming for cooler computers, though. :)

York Road tube station
|This article includes a list of references, but its sources remain unclear because it has insufficient inline citations. (December 2013)
|King's Cross
|Local authority
|London Borough of Islington
|Opened by
|Great Northern, Piccadilly and Brompton Railway
|Key dates
|Opened 1906
Closed 1932
|Replaced by
|London Transport portal
York Road tube station is a disused station on the London Underground. It opened on 15 December 1906 and was one of the original stations on the Great Northern, Piccadilly and Brompton Railway (GNP&BR), now the Piccadilly line.
It is located between King's Cross St Pancras and Caledonian Road, and had its entrance at the corner of York Road (now York Way) and Bingfield Street; the surface buildings are still clearly visible, on the left heading south down York Way towards King's Cross. The former platform area below is also visible from passing trains in both directions, although part of the eastbound platform is bricked off. As with most other disused underground stations, the platform itself has been removed. As the site is currently used as an emergency exit from the tunnels, one of the passageways between the platforms is permanently lit by a series of lamps.
Unlike most other GNP&BR stations, the lifts descended directly to platform level. The platform layout is almost identical to Caledonian Road (the next station to the north), but the two tracks form very gentle convex curves with respect to bases of the lift shafts between the tracks.
Being in a poor industrial area, the station saw little use, and Sunday services were withdrawn from 5 May 1918. The station remained open for weekday traffic until 19 September 1932 when it closed permanently.
The platform tiling was carried out by G. Woolliscroft & Sons of Hanley in Staffordshire, and was made up of white with maroon and brick red patterning. Most of the tiling has since been painted over in grey, but a small section remains untouched and can be seen at the Finsbury Park end of the former eastbound platform.
A small signalling cabin stands near this section of tiling, and was used to operate a crossover immediately to the northeast of the station. This signal box remained operational until 25 April 1964, although by this time the crossover was little used, having been largely superseded by a new crossover built at King's Cross eight years previously. However the disused cabin still stands and can be seen by observant passengers on passing trains.
Reopening proposal[edit]
One of London's largest redevelopment projects, King's Cross Central, began construction in 2008 across the road from the station. Islington Council and Transport for London commissioned a study in 2005 to consider the possible reopening of the station. At the same time, however, it was recognised that other transport priorities reduced the likelihood of such a project moving forward in the near future. The site would need extensive overhauls to bring the station up to modern day standards, at a cost estimated at £21 million in 2005. Local political groups have been keen to see the station reopened in order to reduce passenger congestion at King's Cross St Pancras and to encourage development in the surrounding community. The Islington Liberal Democrats advocated the reopening of the station in their 2006 local election manifesto, and at least one candidate for the Islington Conservative Party has similarly campaigned for the station to be reopened.[1][2][3]
In 2005 a business case was prepared to reopen the station, to serve the Kings Cross Central development and help relieve congestion at King's Cross St Pancras.[4] However, this scheme has not so far been taken forward.

This in turn leads to the subobjective of providing congestion relief for King's Cross St Pancras Station."

Owen is working on the computer when Bailey walks in; as soon as she sees him, she tries to duck back out but he calls after. Fortunately, his Cristina-mania seems to have calmed down and he just apologizes for what she saw. She tries to play dumb but he tells her they both are aware of what she heard. He then says that while they are supposed to do a surgery together the next day, but because Cristina is "one of [her] own," he will understand if she'd rather he didn't scrub in. Choosing her words carefully, she tells him that she won't pretend to understand what is going on but that she knows affairs don't happen in a vacuum, and he is a human who made a human mistake. She looks at him and his face is comically like a droopy dog, so she adds that he did a terrible thing but it doesn't mean he's a terrible person. Mercifully, he doesn't try to keep talking but just nods his thanks.
Teddy goes to the bathroom and stares at herself in the mirror, crying. It's finally time to try saying the words, but she struggles mightily. Finally, she manages to say, "I am a widow," and then repeats it a few more times, stronger each time. She then gets a page, so she pulls herself together and goes off to answer it. It looks like the woman was right and it really does help to say it.
Lexie is waiting for the elevator so she can go home and is surprised when it arrives and Mark is the only other occupant. When they get to the lobby he is happy to walk out with her but after a moment she makes an excuse that she forgot something, and heads back upstairs. So it looks like she's not entirely sure if she's in love or jealous. You're in love, Lexie! I want you and Mark back together again!
Richard brings Avery to a secret small room filled with jars containing all sorts of random knickknacks. He proudly tells Avery that every one of these things -- including a string of Christmas lights -- are items he took out of patients. Avery admits that the collection is awesome and Richard muses that they'll get both geniuses and idiots on the operating table, but he prefers the idiots. With that, he holds up the tooth and adds that you don't get a lion's tooth from a genius. True. But I still don't understand what the point of all of this really was. Oh well.
Callie gets home to find Arizona holding a glass of wine, and she launches into a rehearsed speech defending why she didn't disclose all of her past conquests -- she kind of hates knowing about all of Callie's. Callie just agrees to everything Arizona says as she sets down the wine, and then peels off her shirt. Arizona tries to stay on topic but Callie finally seduces her, and all is well for another day in the Torres-Robbins household.

Hi guys, just wanted to start a thread to find out what people are currently doing with their VLE.
As a real-life example I'm currently working on the tutorials for teachers, including the setting up of courses (the settings involved in doing so) and what teachers can do to differ their courses from others. Fortunately we have a department who have used Moodle before so they have done us a tip top example of their work. I'm hoping to have a guest login available soon (once the majority of the work is done) to allow yourselves to take a peak. I have to say my motivation has gone through the roof with this, I'm very excited to be a part of it. Better late then never I guess! :-)
Hi apoth0r!
I managed to delegate the day to day Moodle admin to my assistant, but still keep an overview of it and add bits in etc.
I've been busy "Theme"ing recently! Most of my themes are heavily based on the awesome themes available on Moodle.org from Shaun D from Newbury College.
I must admit i quite like having a play with the themes :-)
One of the perks of the task. Although seeing a new course constructed is also quite rewarding, especially when a teacher has done it all themselves! :-)
Currently trying to integrate this into our Moodle... Microsoft Live Services Plug-in for Moodle
Would be great for our aim of collaboration, communication and socila learning but the block is definitely still a work in progress (as is the whole Live@Edu system by the looks of it)
I loved playing around with Moodle. But haven't really played with it for a while. Currently umemployed, so if anyone wants any help with Moodle, maybe I could help ya!

4 servings
Trim ends and remove any stringy pieces from green beans. Cook green beans whole in a medium to large heavy saucepan in salted boiling water to just cover beans over moderate heat, uncovered, for about 10 minutes or just until green beans are crisp tender. Or, microwave green beans in just enough water to cover in a glass or ceramic bowl, loosely covered with plastic wrap, at HIGH power for about 5 to 7 minutes, or just until crisp tender. Add additional micro-waving in increments of seconds. Do not overcook beans. Drain green beans thoroughly under cold running water to stop the cooking action; drain thoroughly a second time.
In a deep large glass or ceramic bowl, combine marinade ingredients, blending well with a wire whisk. Add drained cooked green beans, coating the beans well with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for several hours to blend flavors.
To serve, arrange green beans, including marinade, in a serving dish or divide equally onto salad plates lined with crisp lettuce leaves. Garnish with chopped sweet red and/or yellow pepper(s), sliced green onions, toasted pine nuts or almonds or English walnuts as desired and sprigs of fresh rosemary, if desired. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
Note: To toast nuts, arrange nuts in one layer on an ungreased baking sheet; bake in a preheated slow oven (300 degrees F.) for about 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned.
Variation: May omit fresh green beans; use whole frozen green beans. Cook according to package directions.

UPDATE 1-Under pressure, Goldman offers customers access to aluminum
NEW YORK, July 31 (Reuters) - Goldman Sachs on Wednesday responded to mounting political and regulatory scrutiny of its Metro International metals business, offering customers immediate access to aluminum stored in its warehouses.
In a statement outlining the bank's proposal to reduce lines at all London Metal Exchange warehouses, the bank said it would make aluminum immediately available. Customers and U.S. lawmakers have accused Goldman Sachs and other warehouse owners of artificially inflating lines to boost rents for warehouse owners and causing metal prices to rise.
"Goldman Sachs is contacting end users to offer to swap any aluminum currently in the queue for immediately available aluminum so that they have access to the metal they need to make or package their products," the bank said.
Regulators including the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission have begun preliminary investigations into Wall Street banks and other large commodity traders which own metal warehouses, Reuters has reported.
Goldman Sachs bought Metro International Trade Services, an international network of metals warehouses, for around $550 million in 2010, the first in a wave of such purchases by big banks.
JPMorgan Chase & Co., and trading companies Glencore and Trafigura are among the major players who also have warehouses.
The U.S. Senate banking committee held its first hearing on the issue last week, when aluminum users represented by brewer MillerCoors LLC said high physical prices have cost the consumers an extra $3 billion a year in expenses.
Others large aluminum consumers, including Coca-Cola Co and sheet supplier Novelis Inc have also complained.
The warehouses and the London Metal Exchange, which oversees the storage outlets in its network, say the big stockpiles and high physical prices are the result of low interest rates and a market structure known as contango, which makes it profitable to sell metal forward and store it for months or years at a time.
It is also the byproduct of LME rules, which require warehousing companies to deliver a minimum amount of tonnages of metal each day. According to current rules, facilities with 900,000 tonnes or more metal have to load out 3,500 tonnes of metal.
Under fire from irate users, the LME has proposed an overhaul of its warehousing policy that would come into effect next April.
Goldman said it supported more transparency, including disclosure of which companies hold the aluminum and other metals in the LME system.
The bank proposed that end users like car manufacturers should be prioritized in the lines before other users like traders and funds.
Goldman looked at a possible sale of its Metro International warehouse business this year. The bank also faces pressure from the Federal Reserve over its ownership of physical commodity assets.
On Wednesday, a source familiar with the business said the bank plans to keep the Metro business, and considers it a merchant banking investment that it would not have to sell until 2020.

Q. Our family buys ground turkey rather than ground beef. Still, if you read the label, the fat content of ground turkey is not necessarily conducive to good health. Here is one case in point from our freezer: "lean Ground Turkey," advertised as "93% Lean, 7% Fat."
Turn the package over and read the label and you get a different story. The nutrition facts say that in a 4-ounce serving, there are 160 calories, of which 70 calories are from fat. My math says that this ground turkey is 43.75 percent fat, not 7 percent. My complaint here is that these companies are engaging in deceptive product labeling, something the [federal government] apparently allows them to do, selling something as healthier than it really is. Somehow, I think that the protein has some value in calories, or am I missing some important knowledge about food content?

Washing and Storing Summer Berries: 5 Tips We Learned the Hard Way
Some of the best lessons in the kitchen are learned the hard way. For me it took puzzling over why the heck my raspberries were always moldy, year after year, when I usually only keep them for a day or so. After talking to food folks we know here in Seattle, my favorite farmers' market vendors, and my very trustworthy relatives, I learned a few tips I really should have known before, tips that would guarantee clean summer berry success...
By nature, summer berries are small, soft, and delicate, so cleaning and storing them is much more of a challenge than, say, a hearty melon or stone fruits. And there seem to be quite a few misconceptions about the best way to wash them. (Some folks say you shouldn't wash them at all, actually.) After many summers of doing it wrong, here's what I've learned:
1. Timing is everything: Only rinse berries right before you use them. Water increases the liklihood they'll start to mold.
2. Don't soak: Place them in a colander and rinse water over them instead of fully submerging them.
3. Give them a quick chill: You know how sun-ripened, warm berries have that delightful soft messiness to them? Well, that is what makes them taste just like summer, but it's also what makes them incredibly delicate and difficult to wash. So a good tip is to refrigerate them for an hour or so when you bring them home from the market. They're easier to rinse when they've had a chance to firm up just a bit.
4. Storage is key: After washing berries, let them rest in a colander in the refrigerator and another vessel that has some air circulation. This will help them dry out more considerably than if just placed in a bowl.
5. Avoid the crisper: Many people believe that berries will go bad more quickly if kept in the crisper because the air has a higher humidity and doesn't circulate as much as throughout the rest of the refrigerator. In a very unscientific sampling, I find this to be true and follow this myself.

One other suggestion for readers living in warm climates - shop for your berries at the farmstand early in the day when the temperatures are lower. That way your basket of strawberries, blackberries, etc hasn't been out in the sun all day. I always refrigerate the berries as soon as I bring them home - in fact, I often gently sort through them on a sheet pan, and then place the sorted berries in an airtight container lined with paper towels. It seems to help extend the lifespan!
Don't store wet berries, put dry berries in paper bags and cartons!!!! I store my berries in the paper carton (that greenish/blueish slotted container from the farmers market) in a brown paper bag just folded over. They keep until I eat them. I had a quart of blueberries and a pint of strawberries that it took me a week and half to eat. Not one was moldy, a couple strawberries were a bit over ripe but not fuzzy.
i picked a HUGE tupperware container of blueberries almost two weeks ago and we are still eating them fresh. when i got home, i just put the container in the fridge.
a few days later, i had to wash them because my 2.5-year-old son dropped the entire lot on the floor. i soaked them all in a tub of water and set them to dry on a kitchen towel for the afternoon and returned them to the fridge in the same plastic container with a lid, and we are still eating them.
I kept hearing about soaking berries in a vinegar/water solution, and have tried it a couple times and it seems like it does actually help them stay better longer. Of course, after soaking, I do a rinse then thoroughly dry (THOROUGHLY!), but then I put them in the fridge in the same container I got them in from the store, and they've lasted longer than berries have in the past for me.
The vinegar water solution is the best! I now do it to wash all my fruit (toss it all in the sink when I get home from the store). After getting everything dry the berries go in an airtight container with a paper towel. Works amazing! Raspberries are the only thing I wait to wash until right before eating, but they definitely get washed
Heh, storing summer berries isn't a problem in this house. They don't last long enough to need to be stored! (Seriously, I've gone through a punnet of blueberries in about five minutes before.)
I find that if I don't wash all the berries before storing them, I am to lazy to wash just a handful when I feel like eating some, and we never consume them. So I've started instead to wash them all as soon as I buy them, keep them in colander for an hour or so until most of the water (but not all) is gone, then I keep them in tupperware in the fridge. They last for a week or so. This works fine for strawberries and blueberries, but it probably wouldn't work so well with raspberries, which are so delicate.
Blueberries don't spoil as fast as the softer berries with more textured surfaces like raspberries, strawberries and so on, so their "shelf life" is usually longer anyhow.
I also tried the "vinegar/water soak, dry, refrigerate" method once and the strawberries did last longer than similar batches without it. (I don't eat much at home, so they can sit a while...) Nothing more depressing than a pint of berries getting fuzzy a day after you buy them...
Yep - just started using the papertowel on blueberries and that worked.
Vinegar is the trick! We've been doing it all summer, and although berries don't last too long in this house, they never get fuzzy if they are around for a day or two.
Store unwashed in glass jars. They will last MUCH longer. I think its something about not allowing mold spores to get to them, or to multiply? Perhaps similar to the way the vinegar idea works (killing off the mold spores), but easier to execute.
Just to be clear, I mean forgoing vinegar and simply putting into glass jars with screw tops when you get home, then into the fridge. Raspberries, strawberries and blueberries will keep at least a week longer than usual.
I used to have the problem of moldy berries all the time, so now, when I buy them, I take them home, rinse them off, put them on a cookie sheet and freeze them immediately for about an hour. I then put them into zip lock bags in the freezer and take out what we need or want as needed. Berries are small enough that they defrost very quickly and I've found that they're juicier too when they've been frozen. No more wasted fruit, and frozen fresh fruit is a real treat during the summer for the kids for smoothies and grabbing by the handful. We also throw a few frozen berries into our wineglasses when we entertain during the summer and they're a big hit. Plus, when I freeze them I can save enough to make some jam when I have enough time to do so.
A few years ago, Harold McGee wrote about giving berries a hot bath before storing, and I've been doing it ever since. It helps avoid mold and, to an extent, can get rid of some. I don't bother with blueberries, because they're thicker-skinned and we go through them quickly enough, but sometimes I swear raspberries and blackberries mold within a few hours of being brought home. Anyway, look for the archived NYT column for actual temps and times as it varies a bit by berry.
Last year I stumbled upon a fool proof method. Store them in the paper carton from the farm in a paper bag folded closed. Raspberries, blackberries, blueberries and strawberries. I don't wash till I'm ready to eat them. I also know my farmer has picked them either that day or the day before which is partly why they last a week, if it takes me that long to eat them. And I put them in the fridge as soon as I get back to the office or I'll eat them all at my desk :)

As faculty members, you are important partners in Washington and Lee's efforts to address the challenges of the current H1N1 influenza.
In the first instance, the University encourages all employees to observe the recommended practices to avoid the flu and to stay home when experiencing flu-like illness. If you are sick with flu-like illness, CDC recommends that you stay home for at least 24 hours after your fever (100°F) is gone except to get medical care or for other necessities. (Your fever should be gone without the use of a fever-reducing medicine.)
Employees who are living with someone who has the flu may still go about their normal work and school activities, as long as they are not symptomatic themselves. These employees should monitor their health every day, and take everyday precautions including washing their hands often with soap and water, especially after they cough or sneeze. Alcohol-based hand cleaners are also effective. Faculty who have an underlying medical condition or who are pregnant should call their health care provider for advice, because they might need to receive influenza antiviral drugs to prevent illness.
If you encounter students who appear ill, please advise them to:
While we recognize that class attendance is vital to meet our academic mission, the CDC, in its latest guidance for colleges and universities, notes that it is important than students who are ill with influenza not feel pressure from faculty to attend class or to take examinations while still symptomatic and potentially infectious. The University respectfully requests that you consider being flexible with your class attendance and make-up-work requirements for students affected by the H1N1 virus. If the number of students absent becomes excessive, we may have to consider technological assistance for delivering and interacting with course content.
In addition, faculty should not require doctor's notes to validate their illness or return to class since doctor's offices and medical facilities may be extremely busy and may not be able to provide such documentation in a timely way.
Washington and Lee has pre-registered for the vaccine, but we do not yet know when it will be available or whether, upon receiving it, we will have enough for faculty. Consequently, faculty should be in contact with their health care providers to receive vaccinations for both seasonal and H1N1 flu.

Stan's New England Patriots Scrapbook (NFL)
0 Takes
Stan doesn't have have a recent thought about the New England PatriotsAsk what they are thinking.
Brady of Course but equally and maybe more emotionally Randy Moss. Why? Because before he came to New England he was to all intents and purposes a jerk. He came here and we found out he just needed to belong to a team that appreciated and used his talents as well as the Patriots creed of professionalism. I will miss Brewski, Vrable, Harrison, Gafney, Seymor, Cassell, and the list goes on. So much talent and as we know Bill just trades and builds and each time we say, what? and each time he proves why he is the coach.
Why I am a fan:
The Pats seem to be the Gentlemen of the NFL. You never hear bragging or dissing of other teams or players. Only the greatest of respect. It has been that way since Bill arrived and even before. There is no time that the Patriots have been called down for unsportsmanlike conduct when talking or interacting with other teams. I just am proud to have a team that makes it's mark not on the backs of any one player but when you speak of the the Patriots you are speaking of what it really means to be a team player. Like I said before, Randy Moss was the bad boy of football. He came here and now he is the gentleman of the line and an example to all his teammates. That's what it means to be a team and a team player. That is what it is to be a Pats fan as well.
Favorite Moments:
Three Superbowl rings is a great start. How the team gathered around and supported Matt Cassell when he had to take over for Tom. What he did and they also was impressive as anything I have seen in the sport of football. Their record wins and not getting to the playoffs felt terrible to the fans but just like Matt's amazing performance and watching the team truly break their butts to win inspired not just the fans but the football community as a whole. These moments mean more than the wins, the rings or anything else tangible because their sportsmanship, their gathering to support Matt and make the most of a situation that could have been terrible became something far better than anyone could have imagined.

I am legally blind . I love computers, reading, and the Patriots. Actually I am a bit of this and a little of that in that I like many different subjects and follow several avenues of thought quite often to the point of distraction. I am often found at the keyboard listening to books and doing this and that like what i am doing here. I have only been at this spot a few days here and there. Football is about all for me. I like watching sports with horses. Not racing. I object to horse racing in the strongest terms. Using two and three year old horses that run fast but then when they break down because they are much too young they are just as often put down. As my wife who loves horses and uses them in her work as a Physical Therapist has told me, the bones in the legs of these poor animals are far too under developed to run as they do often And because of it they often end up being put down. There is only the rare few that go to stud the rest are put down. Liz brought Hippotherapy now called riding for the handicapped to this country when her and a dozen women went to Germany and were taught the methods used and brought it here, developed the curriculum to be taught in colleges. Anyway we are devout fans and watch each game often bewildering the neighbors with the yells and screams. That's me, and that's my story for now.

Teams Stan Hates
|New York Jets
|Why I Hate Them:
|I hate no one but Ryan should be ashamed of himself. His brash, bragging and denigration of the coach was not only crude, rude and uncalled for but it sets an example that has made his team become like him as well. Watching them lose and seeing Ryan stew and fume made my day. I feel bad for the team because no one wants to lose but for Ryan it perhaps will at least shut his over stuffed face for a bit or at least we can hope.
|Players I Hate:
|I hate no one and certainly have no dislike for the team. My dislike is as I said for the coach, Ryan.

Take your pick from these two Ni no Kuni deals!
You can buy the heavily discounted Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch for PlayStation 3, now just $39.99.
Or you can import Ni no Kuni: Shikkoku no Madōshi for the original DS, which is also $39.99 right now — it plays just fine on U.S. systems, and comes with the magic book. Plus, there's a fan translation project for it that hasn't died yet.
[Update: Dang, apparently shipping costs from Play-Asia are nuts, like over $20 :o/ ]
There's the option to buy both, too, but then you're not saving much money today…

Finding a parking space in downtown Pittsburgh is an easier prospect with the use of a new system called ParkPGH. The system, which is connected to 10 lots which together comprise 25 percent of the parking structures in the downtown area, monitors and where to get viagra in canada predictively determines the buy pfizer viagra best parking location for drivers looking for a place to canadian pharmacy viagra cheap leave their cars.
Unlike other parking monitoring systems which only report on daily viagra current conditions at local parking lots, ParkPGH uses an algorithm designed by Dr. Robert Hampshire at Carnegie Mellon University that considers historical data as well as current conditions to predict where spaces will be when the driver arrives.
While at this point it may be more a convenience for drivers than a significant tool for cutting emissions and reducing drive time, developing systems like this to help route traffic can lead to more efficient travel, with the correspondingly reduced emissions and time savings.

Love may be in the air but for many area couples it's also on the rivers and lakes.
Taking a canoe out on the water is a popular choice for spending time together, according to area canoe rental businesses.
Eden Lamb, manager of Fort Wayne Outfitters on Cass Street, says the store rents canoes to many couples, including people celebrating their anniversaries. She says the couple will rent a canoe and spend the night on the water.
Lamb and other employees will suggest places and things the couple can do in the downtown area, she says, such as paddling to the outside deck of Don Hall's Old Gas House, which sits along the river, where they can grab dinner and drinks.
Lamb says she has seen an increase this summer in younger couples renting canoes for dates.
It may help that the cost of renting a canoe is somewhat cheaper than dinner and a movie. It costs $12 an hour to rent a canoe at Fort Wayne Outfitters and $25 for up to four hours.
It's something unique to do downtown, Lamb says.
Something different was what Kelsey Church and Kristian Gayday, both 22 and of Fort Wayne, were looking for when they rented kayaks for an afternoon date last week. The couple have been dating for two years.
Church says she had been wanting to go canoeing for a while and looked up the information online. She's a little sore, having used muscles she hadn't used in a while, she says, but the 1 1/2 hours on the water was fun and she plans to do it again.
At the Trading Post Canoe, Kayak & Campground in Mongo, couples come in all the time, says Christine Foley, office manager.
She says it starts in April and continues through October, which is a popular rental time as people come to see the colorful leaves.
Couples will rent canoes for dates and anniversaries and will pack a picnic for along the way, she says. It's so popular that the rental company even has a couples getaway package listed on its website.
Foley agrees that paddling in a canoe is romantic, as long as the mosquitoes aren't bad.

We are so screwed. JP Morgan (Assets $1,811,678) (Unregulated Derivatives $70,151,756) now multiply those numbers by one million. I do not know what insane is but I would bet that this is as close as you can get.
One major problem is that the FRB actions taken would be ideal for the US economy of the 1960s. Most unfortunately, it is now 2012, and the socioeconomic/political environment in which these interventions are being attempted is very different.
IMNSHO what is required is the abandonment of fanatical devotion to an increasingly obsolete economic model and ideology, and a critical, data based, evaluation/analysis of the actual situation rather than what we wish it was or think it should be, the real conditions, and trends, including demographics.
A critical step is to become aware there is not a single "orthodox" capitalism, but rather a range from the classic capitalism of Adam Smith, crony capitalism, casino capitalism and the increasingly popular capo (as in "The Godfather") capitalism where the market's "invisible hand" is replaced by the "black hand."
The stock market went up because Bernanke didn't see his shadow. It would have helped and given credence to the fact if he had opened his eyes.
The markets have been set up with a big hook waiting for Cowbell version 13. As an investor I have reached the point where I am going on strike until either the hook ensnares the cowbell herd, or the Fed quits being a central planner. Soviet Union-style markets hooked on cowbells are beyond just tiring, they are extremely dangerous.
