Scientific name: Ptilotus beckerianus
Common name: Ironstone Mulla Mulla
Other names: Becker's Pussy-tail
Conventionally accepted as Ptilotus beckerianus (CHAH 2010).
The Ironstone Mulla Mulla is a perennial, deep rooted herbaceous plant, with a rosette of up to 20 leaves at ground level. The leaves come in a range of shapes from oval, egg-shaped to narrow and pointed (Jessop & Toelken 1986; SA DEH 2006, 2007a). Multiple, ribbed and unbranched flower stems grow 10–25 cm tall, and may have small leaves located along the stem. Flowers are bottlebrush-shaped, fluffy, and pinkish to amber or golden yellow in colour (Leigh et al. 1984; SA DEH 2007a, 2010b). Plants on Eyre Peninsula show variation in leaf colour from dark purple to dark green (Deslandes 2007 pers. obs. cited in SA DEH 2007a).
The Ironstone Mulla Mulla is endemic to SA. It occurs in the central and western regions of Kangaroo Island, from near the Eleanor River to the south coast, near Vivonne and at Hummocky on the north coast. The species also occurs in the southern part of Eyre Peninsula, from near Marble Range to a railway line near the Hyde Road and Lincoln Highway intersection, near Port Lincoln (Leigh et al. 1984; Neagle 2002; SA DEH 2007a).
The extent of occurrence of the Ironstone Mulla Mulla is estimated at 185 km² on Eyre Peninsula, with an area of occupancy of 0.03 km² (SA DEH 2007a). On Kangaroo Island, the species has an extent of occurrence of 1615 km² (Taylor 2008).
The Lower Eyre Peninsula Bushfire Re-establishment Program, implemented with funding from State and Commonwealth governments and the Nature Foundation SA Incorporated, supports ongoing surveys to monitor the post-fire response of threatened plants and vegetation communities. The program began after bushfires in January 2005 affected over 6600 hectares of Sugar Gum woodland and the entire population of the Ironstone Mulla Mulla, along with other threatened species (SA DEH 2007).
The total population of the Ironstone Mulla Mulla is approximately 40 000 individuals (SA DEH 2007a; Taylor 2008).
Approximately, ten subpopulations are known for the Eyre Peninsula area (SA DEH 2007a) and 12 subpopulations on Kangaroo Island (Taylor 2008).
The Ironstone Mulla Mulla is reserved in (Davies 1995b; SA DEH 2007a, 2010b):
- Flinders Chase National Park , Kangaroo Island
- Kelly Hill Conservation Park (CP), Kangaroo Island
- Seal Bay CP, Kangaroo Island
- Wanilla CP, Eyre Peninsula
- Wanilla Land Settlement Conservation Reserve, Eyre Peninsula
- Tucknott's Scrub CP, Eyre Peninsula.
Seven of the known locations on Kangaroo Island are within reserves. At five of these sites the majority of Ironstone Mulla Mulla plants occur on the reserve boundaries and on adjacent roadsides (Neagle 2002). At Eyre Peninsula, subpopulations also grow adjacent to reserves at Murrunatta CP on roadside managed by the District Council of Lower Eyre Peninsula. The council has erected roadside markers for this species (SA DEH 2007a).
The Ironstone Mulla Mulla occurs in association with a number of plant communities including Sugar Gum (Eucalyptus cladocalyx) open woodland, Drooping She-oak (Allocasuarina verticillata) woodland and Broombush (Melaleuca uncinata) shrubland on Eyre Peninsula (SA DEH 2007b), and Coastal White Mallee (Eucalyptus diversifolia) open shrubland on Kangaroo Island (SA DEH 2010b). Associated species in these vegetation types include (Davies 1986; SA DEH 2006, 2007a; Taylor 2008):
- Drooping She-oak Low woodland: Elm-Seed Hakea (Hakea cycloptera), Gland Flower (Adenanthos terminalis), Silver Broombush (Babingtonia behrii), Broombush (Melaleuca uncinata) and Sticky Hop-bush (Dodonaea viscosa subsp. spatulata).

Other associated species include Broombush, Slender Honey Myrtle (M. gibbosa), Kangaroo Island Conesticks (Petrophile multisecta), Scrambling Beard-heath (Leucopogon concurvus), Desert Heath-myrtle, Phyllota pleurandroides, Common Fringe-myrtle, Flame Heath, Erect Guinea-flower, Sticky Sword-sedge and Bog-rush (Schoenus breviculmis).
In a more open area, near Wanilla, Eyre Peninsula, the Ironstone Mulla Mulla has also been found in association with Holly Grevillea (Grevillea ilicifolia), Rough Halgania (Halgania cyanea) and Gahnia spp. with no overstorey species present (SA DEH 2006).
On Kangaroo Island, the Ironstone Mulla Mulla is found on gentle slopes of low broad ridges where it grows in clayey sand, light sandy clay loam, loamy sand and sand of pH 6–7 (Davies 1986, 1992; SA DEH 2010b). The annual rainfall is in the vicinity of 640 mm per annum and the average minimum and maximum temperatures are 9.4 °C and 19 °C (Taylor 2008).
On Eyre Peninsula the Ironstone Mulla Mulla occupies ironstone gravel soils and occasionally light yellow brown sandy loams with a relatively neutral pH level. The species inhabits the 450–500 mm rainfall zone, annual average minimum and maximum temperatures are 9.6 °C and 20.9 °C, and sites are 30–230 m above sea level (SA DEH 2007a).
The Ironstone Mulla Mulla flowers between August and January with 20–40 spiky-looking, hairy flowers borne per stem (SA DEH 2007a). The flowers are initially hemispherical, becoming ovoid or cylindrically elongated to 9.5 cm (Jessop & Toelken 1986). Flowering is dependent on environmental conditions such as soil moisture and canopy shading (Deslandes cited in SA DEH 2007a). As flowers gradually age, the seeds harden. The seeds are wind dispersed via attached long hairy plumes (SA DEH 2007a).
The species disappears over the winter period remaining dormant till the spring (SA DEH 2007a, 2007b). Pollination, germination, seed viability and survival, and plant longevity are relatively unknown. Above the ground, small plants often look like new seedlings but are rhizomatically linked to nearby larger individuals (SA DEH 2007a, 2007b).
Davies (1995b) speculated that the Ironstone Mulla Mulla may be stimulated by disturbance and is likely to be best found after fire. The species is found in lightly cleared areas adjacent to undisturbed native vegetation and where clearance has not resulted in heavy weed invasion (Davies 1995b). However, research into the fire dependence of this species has found that populations do not increase substantially with fire but may be resilient enough to recover post fire (SA DEH 2007b).
The Ironstone Mulla Mulla may be hard to detect during the dormancy winter phase, and as it is small may be easily overlooked when not in flower. Therefore, surveys would be best undertaken when the plant is flowering. As plants are often joined underground by rhizomatic roots, and clusters of individuals may actually be one plant (SA DEH 2007b), care should be taken when assessing numbers at a site. It is suggested that distances between plants of greater than 10 cm should ensure counts of individuals plants (SA DEH 2007b).
The main identified threats to the Ironstone Mulla Mulla are (Davies 1986; SA DEH 2006, 2007a, 2010b):
Road works/maintenance
As many of the known subpopulations occur on roadsides, road maintenance activities including grading and quarrying for road gravel may have a deleterious effect. Although the Ironstone Mulla Mulla readily colonises disturbed areas such as the edges of roads, road widening could destroy plants growing at road edges.
Lack of appropriate disturbance
The disturbance requirements of the species are poorly understood, however, lack of disturbance may also be a threat.
Whilst the species may not be reliant on fire events for recruitment, flowering may be promoted by fires in appropriate periods, and the species may require some levels of disturbance to prevent the encroachment of competing trees, shrubs and herbs.
Invasion by exotic flora species is seen as a threat to all populations of the Ironstone Mulla Mulla, competing for resources, increasing fire danger and creating conditions such as heavy shading unsuitable for the species. Weeds include Aleppo Pine (Pinus halapensis), Bridal Creeper (Asparagus asparagoides), African Daisy (Senecio pterophorus), Freesia spp. and Perennial Veldt Grass (Ehrharta calycina). Bridal Creeper is seen as a major threat, having the ability to 'choke out' areas of other vegetation (Davies 1995b). Less threatening, annual grasses and herbs also inhabit many sites and compete for resources and crowd out the Ironstone Mulla Mulla. These include Avena spp. (such as Slender Wild Oat (Avena barbata)), Soft Brome (Bromus hordeaceous), Hordeum sp., False Hair-grass (Pentaschistis airoides), Vulpia sp., Quaking Grass (Briza maxima), Pincushion (Scabiosa atropurpurea), Medicago spp. and Trifolium spp.
The bulldozing of vegetation for firebreak maintenance is exacerbating the problem of weed invasion for Wanilla CP, Eyre Peninsula. It is recommended that slashers rather than earth moving equipment be used for fire break maintenance. The population found on privately land adjacent to the west side of the Wanilla CP is threatened by cattle trampling and associated weed invasion (Davies 1995b).
Spray drift
Herbicide spray drift is an identified threat to Ironstone Mulla Mulla that occurs in agricultural areas where aerial spraying methods are utilised to apply herbicides and insecticides. The species is also susceptible to off-target damage from herbicide applications during weed control operations on roadside vegetation and reserves.
Ironstone Mulla Mulla occupies high rainfall areas within considered 'High Risk Management zones' for the root rot fungus, Phytophthora cinnamomi (NPW SA 2002). Although it is not known whether the species is susceptible to the fungus, symptoms of Phytophthora cinnamomi have been observed in plants in a creekline near Wanilla State Forest, located to the south of the Wanilla Settlement Reserve. The perennial nature of the Ironstone Mulla Mulla, growing from dormancy in spring when the root rot fungus is also most active, increases the disease risk. The disease may also have an indirect impact on the species by affecting associated vegetation that contributes to its habitat requirements. Roadside maintenance activities, particularly the creation of drainage diversions, may carry the infection into sites.
Firewood collection
The collection of firewood, at known population sites, has been recorded as a threat for Eyre Peninsula populations, such as the Wanilla Settlement Reserve. Wood collectors may trample plants, particularly during flowering. However, fencing of some reserved areas now restricts access and may reduce the incidence of firewood collection.
Small population sizes, habitat fragmentation and habitat clearing
Small and highly fragmented populations, especially those along roadsides and rail reserves, may have low genetic variability and genetic flow due to their isolation. Low genetic variability may reduce the resilience of the species to environmental changes, pests or diseases. Land clearing has eliminated much of the species' habitat on both Kangaroo Island and Eyre Peninsula, and populations, which occur on private property, are at risk from further land clearing and potential grazing by domestic stock and rabbits (Leigh et al. 1984).
The draft Recovery Plan for 23 Threatened Flora Taxa on Eyre Peninsula (SA DEH 2007a) has the following key objectives:
- Obtain baseline information, including critical and potential habitat, for each threatened flora species.
- Increase understanding, appreciation and involvement in threatened flora recovery efforts.
- Manage immediate threats and improve threatened flora critical habitat.
- Conduct research critical to management by addressing knowledge deficiencies in threatened flora biology and ecology (including threat identification).
- Monitor threatened flora populations and evaluate the success of recovery actions.
The draft Recovery Plan for 15 Nationally Threatened Plant Species Kangaroo Island (Taylor 2008) aims to stabilise the Ironstone Mulla Mulla on Kangaroo Island over a five year period (SA DEH 2007a). The Kangaroo Island Threatened Plant Species Recovery Program (KINRMB 2011) began in 2002 with the aim of addressing fragmentation, weed invasion, and inappropriate fire and grazing regimes. The program has a strong community/volunteer input (KINRMB 2011) with an annual three day planting festival to restore habitat for threatened species of the island (UniSA 2010).
Management documents relevant to the Ironstone Mulla Mulla are at the start of the profile.

Movie News
NemesisOfZod Loves DON'T BE AFRAID OF THE DARK!
Nordling here.
Coming out of the DON'T BE AFRAID OF THE DARK screening, I was struck by how the slow burn in horror films isn't used much anymore. It's very difficult to ratchet the tension slowly, so by the end of the film the intensity is almost unbearable. I think Troy Nixey's first feature film is a hell of a good ride, and although there's fat in the middle it's a quite effective horror story.
NemesisOfZod was at the Houston screening, and had a great time as well:
First I want to thank you for letting me get in to see Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark. The movie was great, and the audience seemed to genuinely enjoy the film and the atmosphere. I definitely look forward to seeing any other sneak previews, and my wife is totally jazzed about seeing The Great Muppet Caper, especially after I told her some of the details you told me about.
My Review:
There are a lot of times in "horror" films when you can tell that the screenplay had strokes of brilliance, but after a while the director decided to phone it in. There are so many horror movie conventions that exist, and movies have become very predictable because of it. Walking in to see "Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark" I had some distinct ideas of what to expect, because it is produced by Guillermo Del Toro. I was expecting creepy eye hands and things of that nature. I based my ideas on Pan's Labyrinth to a degree, instead of remembering that he was also responsible for Mimic, and the way it turned a few cliches on their ear. (Seriously, I just mentioned Mimic) The pre-credits scene sets a lot of the story in motion, and is one of those scenes that will stick with you throughout the movie.The movie starts off with Sally (Bailee Madison from the creepiest episode of L&O:SVU) coming to live with her father (Guy Pearce) and father's girlfriend (An incredibly surprising Katie Holmes). You can tell that it isn't her idea of a good time.
I don't believe in spoilers, so I won't bother with them. As you watch the film, pay attention to the scenes as they happen. There is so much foreshadowing that occurs in minute amounts. As the movie progresses, You become involved in the characters and what is going on around them. The house in the film is being renovated by the father and girlfriend, and this keeps the father's mind on both the house and Sally, which means he can't focus on one or the other completely. At moments you will hate the father for how distant he is to the situation, and at others you will see Guy Pearce really crank it up and see how helpless he can feel in this entire situation. Sally moves through the movie and advances the story nicely, making you wonder how much of the backstory we really have, and how much is coming up. There is definitely an "is she or isn't she" kind of feel to the character. The best part of the movie is how it keeps you on your toes. It doesn't play the cat jumping out gag or things of that nature, and when the reality of the situation is revealed you feel relieved to know what is happening, and tense because you now know EXACTLY what is happening.
The level of violence is both over the top and subdued. You may have a moment or two that is cringe worthy, but at the same time this film isn't Saw. The violence has a purpose. It shows you the lengths that some will go to get what they want. The film doesn't end how you expect it to, and at the same time it ends how you think it will. Watch it and tell me if you disagree. A film like this builds up slowly, and as soon as it builds you up, the pace changes itself...you become involved. You move at a smarter pace than some other films. Most importantly, when you finally get to the end, the film leaves you going back through it, wondering if you could have missed other details that may have made a difference for you as the viewer, or for the characters themselves. I can think of a couple of things that I brought up to a few people that made them step back and say "Ahh!" because the answer seemed to be dangling in front of us, but never quite answered. This is the way horror films should be.
If you use this, you can call me NemesisOfZod. If not, I still appreciate you taking the time to read my review!
Thanks, man. Glad you enjoyed the screening. Nordling, out.

How did he get that job you say? Was it the years he spent making short movies? No, he's made no short films. Was it the sheer quality of the scripts he's written? No, he's never sold a script or written one as far as we know. It's because, like Harry Knowles and most of the fucking scumbags that write for AICN and CHUD, Nick Nunziata has spent years kissing as much ass as possible to get a credit on a feature, specifically, Guillermo Del Toro's (who is a Producer on this film) who's maximum width gluteus maximus is where The Nunz has had his full and supple cocksucking lips planted on for several years. It's the same thing with all of these people. Their nothing but self-promoting opportunistic parasites that are less interested in making movie's then they are in gaining status within the movie industry and lining their pockets. You know, back in the old days, people like Coppola, Scorsese, DePalma, Spielberg etc… got their start by actually MAKING short films and working their way up to Directing a feature. The worst thing about scum like TheNunz is the nerve they have talking shit about someone like Kevin Smith who, despite his MANY faults and a few shitty movies, has actually crafted a career for himself and managed to work as a Writer, Director, Producer, Actor etc… for over 15 years while little Nicky has only just managed to achieve his first real credit (apart from "co-Producing" the DTV Grizzly Park which means that El Nunz probably went for McDonald's a few times to feed the crew during the movies 3 day shoot) on a fucking remake of a 1970's TV movie starring Tom Cruise's beard Katie Holmes. I think it's safe to say that Avatar's box office record will remain intact. The only nice things I can say about Nick Nunziata is that he probably doesn't molest his daughter, unlike Nordling, and despite being able to pass himself off as the twin brother of fellow New Yorker Devin Faraci, Nick doesn't sound like that squeaky voiced faggot.

The Original "Dark"
by Green
I saw it as a kid and it fucking terrified me. 30 years later, I got a DVD tape of it and rewatched it. Like a lot of films you love as a child, it didn't hold up when I viewed it as an adult. There's lot's of cheesiness in the original, some pretty lousy acting and some lame writing. And yet...and yet... The damn movie really has something unusual. The look of the creatures is truly bizarre. They seem to change size inexplicably from scene to scene. Though it's definitely clear they were once human, there is absolutely no explanation of what they are now nor why they're doing what they're doing -- and that makes it far more terrifying (at least for me). I don't know the story about how the filmmakers came up with this tale, but I suspect it originally sprang from somebody's nightmare. There is a strange, dreamlike quality to the movie that may or may not have been intentional Maybe the whole film was some kind of weird accident (many good movies often are). Certain things just fell into place because they didn't have the budget for what they wanted and had to improvise. Whatever the case, it's still an uncanny story. Hope Troy Nixey's/Guillermo's version holds up. We shall see...

thenewcastleincident, THE 70'S VERSION OF 'DARK' WORKED BECAUSE IT HAD GREAT MOOD AND ATMOSPHERE.....
by CreepyThinMan
And the reason it had those thing is the same reason why the original Phantasm and Carnival of Souls also had amazing mood and atmosphere...it's because they couldn't afford anything else so they put special attention to the score and sound design. Movie makers don't realise just how important a score and great sound design can be. David Lynch is one of the few Director's who truly understands this. Lars Von Trier's anti-christ is an example of a Director who knows what he's doing.

The original
by shodan6672
I mentioned it in another post, but the orignal film didn't just scare me as a kid. It fucked me up Seriously. I had trouble sleeping for weeks. It was as though it was designed specifically to play upon childhood fears.

It's honestly REALLY GOOD
by Flames gotta Eat
Saw a screening last night. It is old school horror and scary. Shot like a 70s film, the score is great and orchestral old school (thank God), the acting is solid, especially from the little girl, it's told from her point of view so she has to be strong but you know Del Toro always casts great kids. It's truly scary, GREAT EFFECTS, I believe the little guys are all CG but this is how you do CG, they look fantastic. Great set and art design as usual for Del Toro and heavy atmosphere. Just highly recommended, a horror film that we don't see too often. I hope that Woman in Black film with Harry Potter is like this too, if we can get two of these films this year that would be a triumph. For comparison, I thought Fright Night was middle of the road, I'm kinda perplexed by the love it's receiving, but Are You Afraid is no joke, if you don't like this film I'm not sure you're a full horror fan.

The original "Don't be Afraid of the Dark"
by Yukon Cornelius
I think the original DBAOTD still holds up today almost 40 years later--yes some of the special effects as well as the clothing and hairstyles are clearly dated, but it was a product of it's time. I personally think the original is one of the most black-hearted and creepiest melon-farming films of all time, made-for-TV or otherwise, and it clearly scarred many, many children that grew up in the 70s and viewed it either as a first run movie of the week, or as a late night rerun or Saturday afternoon creature feature (it's nearest rival being the Zuni fetish doll sequence from Trilogy of Terror). I still watch it religiously every year around Halloween and still have a VHS tape of a TV broadcast from channel 5 WNEW-TV in NYC from the late 80s, though since it's been released uncut on dvd, my copy is more entertaining for the commercials now. I'm a bit ambivalent about this remake--part of me really hates the idea on principal (jeez, why not just create a new print of the damn original and release it to arthouse theaters? I'd pay to see it!) but part of me wants to see it really bad. I guess if it exposes new viewers to the original version it can't be a bad thing, but I still hate the idea of remakes/reimaginings/SEs etc. I can't wait until the next batch of remakes of remakes of remakes (The Thing to the 4th power in 4D coming to a Holomax theater near you in fall 2019!)

The original is the scariest movie ever made
by fuldamobil
Sure, I was only like 5 when I fist saw it, but it completely traumatized me forever and I've never been able to rewatch it. Despite that, it's still seared into my brain. And this was a t.v. movie for crissakes. All I wanted was to watch some Woody Woodpecker cartoons and that thing came on.
Aug. 19, 2011, 2:51 p.m. CST
LOL at fuldamobil
by Yukon Cornelius
I hear you! If you saw it for the first time as a young kid I can definitely see it having that kind of impact (versus if you saw it for the first time as a jaded and cynical 20 or 30-something: "Definitely not scary--I laughed at those little apple headed monkey dudes when they crawled out of the fireplace. Did you see how crappy those masks were? The mouths didn't even open!") Anyway, you know what else is really creepy? That anti-drunk driving ad that pops up on the AICN home page--it's got a disturbing "Big Brother is watching", sci-fi Nazi SS brownshirt in black budget Predator style invibility cloak camo vibe to it--watch the inviso-trooper's pervy eyes follow the young lovers as they make their way to a dingy side alley for some drunken fornication when BAM! Arrested by said invisible goon. Creepy!

"The messages look similar to the real emails that users may receive from friends who are already members of Google+. However, clicking on the links will not take you to the new social network, but instead take you to a pharmacy website set up to sell the likes of Viagra, Cialis and Levitra. The spammers are no doubt hoping that the email will be too hard to resist for many people eager to see Google's new social network, although just how many users will be tempted to buy drugs online is a mystery."Earlier, Google allowed Google+ participants to invite others into the service (kind of hard to set up your Circles, otherwise). However, with demand characterized as "insane," Google shut that down.
Figured it would not be too long until some tried to scam using Google+. I wonder what the emails look like because if they seem to be written from a close friend a lot of people I know would just click it.
Not surprising at all. Spammers will use any way they can think of to spread their crap across your screen. It's like crap jam on toast.
@ neil
LOL, crap jam on toast? At first that sounded gross... but then I started to picture what the would look like, and I thought of penut butter on toast. And that made me hungry... so now I want some peanut butter on toast... and i'm gonna start calling it crap jam on toast.
Please, don't let me effect you in such a twisted way!,..............
Every social service will attract a few spammers here and then.
Not surprising at the least.
Haven't gotten one yet lol Hope I can resist the urge to get clickity click happy :P
again, this should be stated every time anyone ever pays for internet service: browser beware.
lol surprisingly i been getting scam mail from blizzard or someone masking their email as such. Comes every day too... Facebook, i have been getting from the start. haven't gotten one for google+ YET... :)
I am sure if you use Gmail they have update there spam filters to catch these

Getting to the slap for the jug reliably. feel solid now on the move to the vulcan pocket. 3/12/11 - feeling surprisingly good on it, esp. move to vulcan hold. easier in cold conditions. 2/7/11 & 3/7/11 - about a dozen redpoint attempts. Dropped it from 3 moves off the top on Sat. Then unable to get that far again. Frustrating. 25/6/11 - 6? redpoints. new high point - fell off 3 times going for the jug/sidepull at the end of the lower crux. 11/06/11 - got the moves dialled. done in two overlapping sections. 04/06/11 - couple of working goes 29/05/11 - Intense.

An $800 million resort at the Mesa Proving Grounds will not be built, but the mayor of Mesa said it's not the end of the world.
Gaylord Entertainment decided to scrap the project and sell to Marriott by Oct. 1.
Mesa Mayor Scott Smith said it is not a deathblow to the master-planned Eastmark Development at Ellsworth Road near Elliot Road.
"The growth to the Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport and a lot of other development and businesses going on and the infrastructure going in, Gaylord wasn't the only driver anymore," Smith said.
Smith also said, "It was going to be the gateway to Gateway, the one that primed the pump. It's disappointing that they're not going to be part of Eastmark, but the area will be just fine without Gaylord."

Kate Major has completed her 30-day stint in rehab for alcohol issues and is currently undergoing aftercare treatment in northern California ... TMZ has learned.
According to our sources, Kate made great progress during her stay at a treatment center in Boca Raton, FL. We're told Major has no plans other than to focus on her sobriety.
As TMZ first reported, Major was hospitalized during her rehab after she suffered a seizure. Sources close to Major tell us her health has been good and she has not suffered any seizures since.
If she has a seizure disorder why on earth is she driving???????????
Who cares!!!! ..
so why is she driving? Don't they pull your license after a seizure?
lucky girl, i had seizures when i withdrew, detox, dt's, seizures. i was out for 8 days, nearly died during the procedure. i hope she does the right thing, and gets active with the program.
I am sure they are keeping her room ready.
TMZ changed the title after Kate Major tweeted about it.. So what else is she known for again?
good luck to her and hopefully she has finally learned to stay away from michael lohan. he's toxic to every person that gets entangled in his life.
She has dated 2 of the biggest idiots in Hollywood, John Gosslen (sp?) and Michael Lohan. Why must you guys report on this idiot?
Please keep doing drugs, please keep doing drugs, please keep doing drugs...
Guess what the seizures are from- being on antabuse and drinking while there is still (even a small) amount in your system. I saw an old friend have 3- he had no seizure disorder and antabuse was the constant each time. I wish she would leave Michael Lohan alone. If she just harped on him, I'd say he'd made his own bed, but all this talk about how she is "positive" about how he doesn't talk to Lindsay? I think Kate's a pathetic liar who would have washed her hands of him years ago if she had a real life. I wish Lindsay would take a ****load of adderall, harness the super-powers they provide, and kick her fat ass.

Categories > Celebrities > Fall Out Boy > I'm Alright In Bed But I'm Better With A Pen
Some nights it gets so bad I almost pick up the phone4 Reviews
That's how I feel right now, but I still love that bastard! So I changed my number and my locks, but he somehow got my new number. Bet that stupid slut JJ gave it to Patrick and then he gave it to Pete. JJ really wasn't so bright sometimes and all Patrick had to do in order to get anything out of JJ was sing to her. Those two need to just make a move already. It was pissing me off how they would spend hours on the phone and together and never do anything. Two people who are completely head over for each other and too chicken shit to make a move. Damnit their drama made me dramatic. Well, not like my own drama doesn't have it's appeal though. Not.
Here I am on a Friday night exactly two weeks after the break up and I am listening to that stupid Fall Out Boy CD and crying. Well, it's not stupid and it's shitty that it makes me cry. I love this CD. And listening to the words of G.I.N.A.S.F.S. didn't help either. How on EARTH did Peter know how to word everything so perfectly? And he wrote this about me too. I know this because he told me so. That brillant bastard.
After about a half hour of crying I managed to dry my eyes when there was a knock on the door. I walked into the front hallway, wiped my red puffy eyes and looked through the peephole. Of course they were covering it with their hand. I opened the door until the chain gave resistance. And speak of the devil.
"What are you doing here Pete?" I said. The look on his face instantly turned into concern.
"Kristin, let me in. Why are you crying?" he said as he got closer to the door. Being the weak thing that I was right now I gently shut the door and unhooked the chain and opened the door to let him enter. I turned away and walked off into my living room and sat on the couch. Pete followed close behind and kneeled in front of me. I closed my eyes in order to not look at him and tears rolled down my cheeks. Pete brushed my tears away with his thumbs.
"Please don't cry, I hate seeing you like this," he whispered as he kissed my forehead.
"Well it's your fault," I said as my breath caught in my throat.
Pete looked down at the ground for a second and looked back up at me. "I never ever wanted to put you through this."
"But you're still with Ashlee, aren't you?"
Pete didn't say anything. He sat himself down on the couch next to me. "I told Ashlee about you."
He what? "You what?" I said with complete disbelief. "You told her? did she try to murder you?"
"No, she cried, screamed, slapped me, broke up with me then begged me to take her back until I told her how long you and I have been involved. Now she wants to take a break. I told her it's over."
I don't think I heard that last sentence correctly. "Um... excuse me? You said what now?"
"I told her it's over. Look Kristin, these last two weeks have been the hardest of my life. I never realized how much I've needed you until now." Pete leaned in close to me to kiss me. This is what I had wanted, but I couldn't risk getting my heart broken again.
"It's too late Pete," I said in a soft whisper and he stopped dead in his tracks and looked into my eyes. Damn those beautiful hazel eyes. I could see that look in his eyes, the one where his world crashes down around him. He was going to cry right in front of me and I couldn't handle that. "I think you should go Pete."
Pete let out a heavy sigh, stood up and walked out the door without looking back at me. I picked up my cell phone and called Patrick. The last time Pete was this upset he ended up in the hospital.
"Hello?" Patrick said in a chipper tone through the phone.
"Patrick hey," I sniffled.
"Kristin hey, what's wrong? Everything ok?" His chipper tone immediately turned to concern.
"Um, not really, but will you call Pete and make sure he's okay. We just had a little, well, heart to heart that didn't go so well. I'm worried he might do something stupid again."
"Yeah yeah, I'll leave now to go see him. So I take it you didn't take him back."
"Why should I? He's lied to me and lead me on for months. I can't trust him not to hurt me again." I became defensive. Why should I take my chances for the millionth time?
"I know Kristin, but just hear him out."
"So that he can feed me more bullshit? No thanks Patrick. Just make sure Pete doesn't do anything stupid okay?"
"Okay Kristin, and hang in there. Call me if you need anything." Patrick sighed. He hated how things were between Pete and I. We were best friends and Pete was like his brother. He was stuck in the middle.
"Thanks Pat, night," I hung up the phone and blew my nose. I can't keep living like this. I need to remove Peter from my life for good. I didn't want to do it, but it's for the best. I think I'm going to move.

Okay. As soon as the man they call Kleinheider went up with this, I knew it was trouble. And I should know better than to do a post on a topic as clearly raw and sensitive as race and race relations, especially when it's drawn from something written by someone as capable of getting people to say stupid things as Kleinheider. But the reaction to his headline has so far surpassed the relative early calm (maybe 6 comments in the first half hour) that I can't refrain from comment because I find that it reveals how important that context is.
Let's start with some disclosure: I know all three of the parties involved (Kleinheider, Powell, and Turner), and, complicating matters further, I also live in the 58th state house district. Further, until recently, I was an employee of SouthComm.
Now, the Internet is trouble to begin with. The call/response model of email, forums, and comment sections are passive-aggressive by nature, and the anonymity offered in a variety of forums, including Post Politics, adds more noise than signal. So we've got that working against us.
Fortunately, there are some case studies we can examine. There are three imperfect analogies, here, and two of them happen to be local. The first is actually one in which Kleinheider took heat for his coverage, and that was the Sherri Goforth affair. The next is one that involved a blogger dispatched by a local university (and subsequently resulting in active promotion of an unholy marriage between hateful wingnuts and Baker-style Republicans across Tennessee). And the last is a fellow by the name of Don Imus.
In the case of Ms. Goforth, she was caught distributing an image that specifically and intentionally disrespected the nation's first black president. In the case of Hobbs, a stupid cartoon resulted in his short-term departure from a job and medium-term leveraging his cartoonish attitudes about life and politics into an entire wedge of a statewide political movement. In the case of Don Imus, he specifically used a racial epithet to describe in general terms a women's basketball team. In two of the three cases, the offender was fired and in the other, the offender was reprimanded.
Here's the difference, though, between someone like Bill Hobbs and A.C. Kleinheider: Bill Hobbs promotes a specific, partisan political agenda that relies for success on people who respond to cynical race-baiting that can be subtle and implicit enough that Hobbs can easily play the reverse race card. A.C. Kleinheider promotes no discernible political agenda other than preying on the dearly held political dogmas of ideologues of all stripes at their most fragile and sensitive points, and as he would probably tell you, in his agenda, there is no success.
I spent a lot of time yesterday examining the headline and the context trying to figure out if Kleinheider was intentionally maligning either Powell or Turner in a manner similar to Goforth or Imus. At the end of the day, I don't think he was. I can understand why Jason Powell and Steven Turner would take extraordinary personal offense because being singled out is never comfortable, and being singled out under the umbrella of insensitive language of any type is rightly infuriating.
But imagine if yesterday's post hadn't happened the way it did. Imagine if Kleinheider had gone up with just his post of atonement from today, explicitly elaborating on his personal perspective. There is no way that clear, lucid thinking on race in politics would've exposed how raw all our nerves are about this discussion. I've got a list of "black friend" credentials at least as long as Robin Smith and Chris Ferrell, but part of my response to this whole episode is not being compelled to enumerate it here in order merely to recognize that there are important, interesting, and too often unspoken issues involving race in general but particularly in politics, which is nominally about representation.
Do we benefit from jumping all over someone like Kleinheider, who might suffer the same sort of essential racism most of us who exist in largely self-selecting isolated communities with little diversity suffer, when he chooses to use a word we all know is wrong in a context likely to offend multiple parties? He clearly was intentionally making a comment about race. Does it help to scream "That's racist!" at a scenario where commentary about race was so clear? Or is it more helpful to isolate the conditions in which race as a form of hate-based discrimination and even crime as socially unacceptable, especially since it's quite apparent that Kleinheider's commentary is socially unacceptable? I mean, is there really a risk that Kleinheider's headline indicates that "blackface" is making some kind of genuine (i.e., non-satirical) comeback in common usage or activity?
I have to admit: I'm frequently uncomfortable engaging in discussions regarding race. I'm uncomfortable that people who contacted me personally in the wake of Kleinheider's post will misinterpret my writing on the topic. I'm concerned about choosing each word and each phrase precisely in an attempt to express my meaning. I'm concerned that I will inadvertently say something offensive. And I'm interested in the different dynamics exposed by the contrast among black/white race dynamics, black/Latino race dynamics, and white/Latino race dynamics, among all the other dynamics that exist in the American, Southern, Tennessean, and Nashvillian experiences. Finally, I'm concerned about the things that will be left unspoken regarding race dynamics, particularly in Nashville, even after the hubbub over this lone blog post has blown over.
And that's all as it should be. The entire point of political correctness as I take it is not to enable a generation of people to cry out, "That's racist!" at every utterance of something off-color. It is, ideally, an opportunity for each individual to come to terms with the fact that if one is not comfortable saying things in public, it's worth considering what any level of comfort saying them in private might reveal. Just as the ultimate goal of endorsing diversity shouldn't be to fulfill quotas; it should be to reveal to people of all walks of life that their life experiences are likely quite different from those of people with whom they don't often have occasion to spend much time with.
Also, I think that though we pretend that the internet never forgets, this isn't the first time that Kleinheider has even used the word. In a headline, no less. Not as much controversy erupted over, "Bush in Blackface?" Wonder why? Plenty of room for a discussion on that topic alone.
So what now? I don't expect my post to have much impact. I'm no self-described expert on race relations. I'm just a guy. But my life experiences indicate we've got a long way to go, and my hope is that when it's revealed through an ugly process just how far, that by continuing to discuss things in a mature, open, authentic (i.e., not anonymous) manner, maybe we make just a little bit of progress. And though he catalyzed this post in a way I personally would never have felt comfortable doing, I'm actually comfortable giving Kleinheider a little bit of credit for whatever progress we make in this moment.
Just as I'm comfortable giving both Jason Powell and Steven Turner a lot of credit for having the courage to take on an entrenched incumbent in whose district I now live. At the end of the day, after all, this is still about politics. On different occasions regarding Rep. Pruitt, I have thanked her, I have made requests of her, and not once have I ever heard from her. So I'm watching the race closely. Now I'm even wondering if this episode has raised Turner's profile.
Finally, there's the question of editorial propriety and publisher accountability. I'm terrible at being an absolutist, which both gives me a lot of outs and probably weakens perceived integrity. Generally speaking, though, I value editorial freedom above conservative business interests as expressed through editorial policies. The success of the institution of Kleinheider exists in part because he is largely allowed to be Kleinheider. If Post Politics resembled Google News, what fun would that be? Kleinheider both covers and creates controversy, and he walks the line before the paint has dried, leaving a mess when he crosses it in either direction.
All that said, I think that the most appropriate action for SouthComm to take would be to host a beer summit featuring Kleinheider, Jason Powell, Steve Turner, and Mark Mays.

Sirf Tum – Full Movie
Sirf Tum revolves around Deepak, an ordinary young man with a big heart, and Aarthi, an attractive, middle class girl. While in Dehli, Deepak finds a lost handbag belonging to Aarthi. Returning it to her, Deepak begins writing her on a regular basis. Eventually, the two fall in love. While exchanging letters, the two meet each other at random times but both have no idea who the other is. The necessary plot twist comes in the way of Neha, Deepak's boss, who falls in love with him and tries to woo him. The rest of the movie concentrates on whether Deepak rejects the advances of Neha and meets Aarthi.
Sirf Tum (meaning 'only you') is a Bollywood film directed by Agathian. It was released on 11 June 1999. The film features Sanjay Kapoor, Priya Gill, Salman Khan, Sushmita Sen, Simran Bagga and Jackie Shroff. It is a remake of the National award winning Tamil film Kadhal Kottai, which starred Ajith Kumar and Devayani in lead roles. The movie was filmed in Nanital, Keralaand Houston.

Dentist and Patient Flame War over Reasons People and Dentists Hate Each Other
Posted on 04. Dec, 2011 by wisdom in Doctors
A recent post was made by a 36 year old female dentist who has recently decided to leave the profession. Of course she couldn't just leave dentistry, she had to cut her hair http://lolabees.me/2011/11/23/the-big-reveal/ and write a post about the 10 Reasons Your Dentist Probably Hates You Too http://lolabees.me/2011/11/28/10-reasons-your-dentist-probably-hates-you-too/
Reading over the 10 Reasons Your Dentist Probably Hates You Too I totally see where she is coming from.
The first on her list is often patients sit down and the first thing they say is "I hate the dentist." Other issues on her list include patients not brushing their teeth before the appointment, complaining about the size of the bill after the work was completed, failing to get a cavity or filling performed when it is recommended, not showing up or canceling at the last minute for an appointment, and denying that you grind your teeth.
Hundreds of comments follow this post and it results in a flame war.
A 19 year old female patient calls dentists "greedy basterds."
Numerous dentists and others chime in to say that while there are some unethical dentists, this is of course the norm in any profession. If you don't like your dentist they recommend you find a different one.
Of course the flame war wouldn't be complete without a medical doctor chiming in with the comment
"Remember, though that at the end of the day you're a dentist, not a real doctor."
Somehow the discussion erupts into disputing the difference between TMJ and TMD/TMJD.
One person chimes in by saying
"You might as well call your children idiots for not knowing how to find the Lagrange multiplier equations for the point of the surface x4 + y4 + z4 + xy + yz + zx =6 at which x is largest. In fact most of you probably don't know how to do that, dumbasses."
Clearly a post discussing reasons why dentists hate their patients was bound to receive some comments of the like above from patients. With tensions brewing between dentist and patients and other medical professionals and patients it would seem more communication skills should be taught on both ends.
Perhaps a course or lecture should be added to schools explaining how to behave when seeing a medical professional. Of course parents need to also make sure they pass on such knowledge to their children.
Likewise dentists should look into ways to help improve communication with their patients so tensions and hatred are at a minimum.
Clearly everyone should behave more nicely on the internet
I wish this dentist well and hope that she finds passion and a sense of calling in her new career and endeavors.

[...] The discussions that this has opened up have been amazing. There were long, thoughtful posts between people communicating opposing opinions in a civil, but passionate manner. Many laughed along and even added their own lists. And then there was the name calling. There were about 100 comments that I couldn't approve because of redundancy or maliciousness. Someone else said it best in his/her summary of my post. PLEASE READ THIS. [...]

Nice blog and the facts are true indeed. Most of the patients don't like to see a dentist because of the bad experience in their past. It is important to maintain a regular dental check up, if there is any dental problem it will be detected in the early stage and the treatment will be done quickly. It is a good idea to get the dental problem checked quickly so that the treatment will be easier and quicker.

Armed with one of Yotam Ottolenghi's cookbooks & a daunting shopping list of esoteric ingredients, you could try your hand at any of the dishes on offer in his highly desirable cafés. But why
would you, when it would mean missing out on the visuals? The chic, all-white interiors & counters loaded with salads, savouries, cakes & oversized meringues – heck, even the queues – are
as much a part of the experience as the food. Not that the zingy, eclectic flavours ever disappoint. Ottolenghi's distinctive cuisine sans frontières makes for a melting-pot menu that might feature
Indian roasted aubergine with turmeric yoghurt, Middle Eastern lamb kofta with manouri, pistachio & saffron yoghurt, or a Franco-Italian wild mushroom quiche with pecorino. Brunch & dinner
menus are available at Islington only.
Upper Street and more generally Angel is one of those places where choosing a restaurant is made difficult by the sheer number of options. The dilemma is, does it follow that busy restaurants serve great food? Perhaps not, but there is one place where this is certainly the case; Ottolenghi.Opened as a delicatessen, there is a long communal table and a couple of smaller ones. With amazing displays of cakes and pastries in the window, it won't take much for you to be drawn inside to check-out what other goodies lurk within. Once inside, you won't be disappointed. Ottolenghi's counter is jammed full of platters, covered with appetizing, colourful salads, made with combinations of vegetables, nuts, herbs and dressings that you could never dream-up. The vegetarian food is so good that despite the plates of seared tuna and grilled lemon thyme organic chicken, you may even think about becoming a vegetarian – for an afternoon...

Ottolenghi Islington is located on a main culinary road in Islington called Upper street (for instance, it's more or less opposite of John Salt). The interior is similar to that of NOPI (sleek, white and clean), but Ottolenghi Islington is smaller in size. Another difference with NOPI is that the dessert menu at Ottolenghi Islington is much larger than NOPI's, because of the patisserie that is situated in front corner of the restaurant (many people come in to order take away desserts). Guests are either seated on the long dining table shared with other guests or on the smaller, more intimate tables alongside the long dining table...

Improving on the previous campaign in all competitions is Derbyshire's aim for 2012 according to Captain Wayne Madsen.
The 28-year-old hopes his side can improve their consistency in one-day cricket sufficiently to qualify for the knockout stages of either Clydesdale Bank 40 or Friends Life t20 – and he's hoping to improve on last season's tally of five LV= County Championship wins.
Find out about Wayne's views on the captaincy, the importance of the tour of Barbados and why he is hoping for a double celebration come September.
Match-winner Mark Footitt says it was the fear of letting his team-mates down that inspired him to perform late heroics versus Hampshire Royals yesterday.
The 26-year-old left-arm paceman took three wickets, all of them clean bowled, in the final over of yesterday's Barbados Twenty20 Plate Final to secure a dramatic one-run victory for the Derbyshire tourists.
Footitt's overall figures were 4 for 11. And despite showing nerves of steel to outgun the Hampshire lower-order when it really mattered, Footitt admits he was feeling the pressure.

Derbyshire's Jonathan Clare is aiming to develop into the "perfect all-rounder" this summer.
The Burnley-born seamer enjoyed his finest season to date in 2011, contributing 43 wickets and 688 runs to a side that finished fifth in Division Two of the LV= County Championship.
Chesney Hughes says he will take confidence from an impressive individual display despite the pre-season defeat to Leicestershire.
Hughes was the pick of the Derbyshire bowlers with figures of 2 for 35 before top-scoring with 59 off 53 balls as the Falcons lost to the Foxes by 134 runs.

Interview by Chris Airey
The wait is nearly over for new skipper Wayne Madsen as he looks ahead to the challenge of leading Derbyshire into the 2012 season.
South African born Madsen has now been with the club for three seasons after moving to England in 2009 and he has been one of the Falcons' most consistent performers. He now he faces a new challenge as leader of a young but ambitious Derbyshire outfit.
The right-handed batsman, who has captaincy experience with Kwazulu-Natal, has big plans for the side and he believes they can soon be pushing for trophies.
Derbyshire all-rounder Garry Park says Rana Naved is a great signing who will pass on his knowledge to the Falcons' youthful squad.
The 28-year-old spoke to Tom Holdcroft about the signing of Naved, Friends Life t20 nights at the County Ground, the importance of fielding in the modern day game and the forthcoming pre-season tour of Barbados.

With less than two months left until the start of the 2012 campaign, Wes Durston believes everything is starting to fall into place as the Falcons prepare for their pre-season tour to Barbados.
The squad will fly out to the Caribbean in the middle of March where they will compete against fellow LV= County Championship Division Two sides Hampshire and Yorkshire as well as taking part in a Twenty20 tournament.

We add today LG International service by IMEI, you can now unlock by IMEI absolutely all LG for 35 Credits with around 2 days turnaround for delivery ! All network provider supported (Factory Code), all model supported : KS20, K990 Viewty, Prada, Shine, KU880, U440, etc… Enjoy !
We reactivate T-Mobile Option 2 (fast service) for 13 Credits instead of 18 Credits ! Enjoy !
We decide today to stop officialy the "Sagem International by IMEI", I know people will say some of our competitor still offer this service, but how people can still call this "a service" ? The thrue is people have to wait 6 week to 2 month to get code (sometime wrong) for a crazy price, so it's simply all except a "serious" service. At UnlockBase, we try to be serious so we stop promote this crap from today ! (PS : we cancel all pending request on Sagem International and refund into credits our valuable customers)
We're happy to tell you we decide to reduce 3 UK by IMEI (Regular & BB5) for 18 Credits instead of 22 Credits !
The "Fast" suplier for T-Mobile (Option 2 – 18 Credits) lose his access so we desactivate this service. Anyway, you can still get unlocking code for T-Mobile using "T-Mobile Option 1″ (rename as "T-Mobile") for 9 Credits, more model is supported, but delay is longer (4 to 7 days for delivery)
As you may experience, last weeks there is some unusual long delay on T-Mobile U.S.A, it's because our (stupid) suplier decide arbitrary to make higher price when everybody was making party for end of the year event…… And without warn in advance his customer (us) so we have to find in urgence a new suplier/alternative.
We find the same day another suplier, he's cheap as our first suplier, and good news, he's able to make "Nokia" & "BlackBerry 7xxx or 6xxx" but the delay is longer. So finally, like for SFR France, we decide to offer now two services for T-Mobile U.S.A :
T-Mobile U.S.A (Option 1) :
- Still low price: 9 Credits
- Slow service: 4 days. sometimes 7 days
- 100% success rate so far.
T-Mobile U.S.A (Option 2) :
- Old suplier, raises his price to 18 Credit for everybody
- As always next day
- Low success rate (only new phones and no nokia or blackberry 7xxx or 6xxx)
We decide for better quality to stop service today theses tools :
- Vodafone Australia & Nokia BB5 Vodafone Australia : Suplier deliver zero codes since the start (always "not available") people who offer this service seems to make bullshit offer. One suplier give me explanation about this problem of "too many code not available" : it's because service support only PHONE that was bought in a Vodafone Australia Shop/Service Center, if the phone is locked from Vodafone Australia but was not sold in Vodafone Shop, then they can't get code). Looks too strange for UnlockBase Team so we stop this service as we have too many code not available (waste of time)
- Optimus Portugal & Nokia BB5 Optimus Portugal : Suplier don't work anymore, we dont have emergency suplier so we decide to remove Optimus Portugal Service. <- we're looking for suplier for this
- Telenor Mobil Norway & Nokia BB5 Telenor Mobil Norway : Suplier don't work anymore, we dont have emergency suplier so we decide to remove Telenor Mobil Norway Service. <- we're looking for suplier for this
- T-Mobile Slovakia : Price is too expensive (40 Credits) and we get zero request of unlocking code from our customer after 2 month for network provider…. so we decide it's better to remove it.
- Nokia BB5 International : After one week of work, suplier get busted (fired) from his work, so we have to stop this service !
- Furious TREO 650 .TXT to Unlock Code (File Unlock) : too long delay, and sometime wrong code, so we stop this server, instead you can use for 10 Credit the Nextgen Server from JIC (Cable Unlock) it's very reliable and with real time delivery !
UnlockBase Team wishes you :
1 year of happiness,
12 months of prosperity,
52 weeks of success,
365 days of good luck,
8760 hours of gladness ,
5,25,600 mins of goodness,
Every second of enjoyment……..

LEWISBURG, Tenn. – Monday's Fourth of July celebration in Marshall County honored local families who made the ultimate sacrifice.
Crissie Carpenter and her infant son Landon were among the grand marshals at the annual parade in Lewisburg.
Landon came into the world less than a month after his father, Lance Corporal Andrew Carpenter, was killed while serving overseas in Afghanistan.
The families of three other fallen soldiers also served as grand marshals.
"We certainly can sympathize with the community's pain as well as the families' pain," Jamie Bone, chairman of the annual parade, said. "We just wanted to honor their families and Andrew's family by having them as grand marshals to say thank you for their service, their commitment."
Crissie Carpenter told Nashville's News 2 she was proud of how the community honored the military.
"I thought it was a really cool thing so I decided to do it," she said. "Everybody was so nice. I loved seeing everybody waving. Landon loved it to so that was good."
Monday was the Rogillio family's first Fourth of July parade. They too were glad to see the communitywide support for America's troops.
"I have family in the military and I think it is very important that this town takes time out for them," Taylor Rogillio said.
The Cottrell family told Nashville's News 2 Fourth of July is about having the right balance of fun and patriotism.
"[We] came out this morning just to give them a sense of what Fourth of July is all about and to have some fun," Carl Cottrell said, adding, "Obviously there are fireworks and there is the fun of it but ultimately what is it about? It is about the independence of our country and the fight for freedom."
Jackie Scruggs added, "If it wasn't for our troops and stuff, we wouldn't be out here to enjoy the parade."
Monday's parade began at the Acres Shopping Center in Lewisburg at 9 a.m. and lasted about an hour.

Amongst this year's "Christmas Pack" of Asics releases is the Asics Gel Saga. As you'll recall when we first showed you the Holiday trio of tiger striped releases, each of the sneakers in the set are modeled after different fictional characters surrounding that December celebration. Yes that's right-Santa Clause, his Elves, and Rudolph are indeed not real. As you can see, this silhouette aims at the last of them with its brown/tan tones and red outsole set up. Continue reading for a better glimpse and keep in mind shops like Afew have them billed as a November 2013 release.
I Would easily trade my Phantom Lagoons for these in a heartbeat.
What's up with those jeans?
Yep. These are clean and will be undoubtedly hard to come by.
@SSmok3d If I get my hands on these I'll keep you in mind. Im really shitty that I missed those

Two graphs from the NASA Climate website illustrate the change in global surface temperature relative to 1951-1980 average temperatures. The NASA plot is annotated with temperature-impacting historic events, which nicely connect an otherwise challenging graphic to real-world events.
This webpage contains two videos that show climate visualizations created by super computers. Both videos show climate changes that may occur during the 21st Century due to human activities based on IPCC science.
This graph, based on key ice core data sets and recent monitoring programs, shows the variations in concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere during the last 400,000 years.
This video describes why tropical ice cores are important and provide different information than polar ice cores, why getting them now is important (they are disappearing), and how scientists get them. The work of glaciologist Lonnie Thompson is featured, with a focus on his work collecting cores of ice from high mountain glaciers that contain significant data about past climate change.
This NASA animation presents the levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide over the last 400,000 years, last 1000 years and last 25 years at different time scales. The data come from the Lake Vostok ice cores (400,000 BC to about 4000 BC), Law Dome ice cores (1010 AD to 1975 AD) and Mauna Loa observations (1980 to 2005).
This video addresses two ways in which black carbon contributes to global warming - when in the atmosphere, it absorbs sunlight and generates heat, warming the air; when deposited on snow and ice, it changes the albedo of the surface. The video is effective in communicating about a problem frequently underrepresented in discussions of climate change and also public health.
This static graph of changes in CO2 concentrations is going back 400,000 years, showing the dramatic spike in recent years.
This simulation allows the user to project CO2 sources and sinks by adjusting the points on a graph and then running the simulation to see projections for the impact on atmospheric CO2 and global temperatures.
This collection of photos from the NASA Climate website features images related to global change. Not all images show change caused directly by climate change and energy use, and descriptive captions indicate causes for change in most of the images.
This music video features a rap song about some of the causes and effects of climate change with the goal of increasing awareness of climate change and how it will impact nature and humans. The website also includes links to short fact sheets with lyrics to the song that are annotated with the sources of the information in the lyrics.

The International Dental Show was held last week in Cologne. IDS is the world largest meeting place for decision-makers from dental practices, dental labs, the dental industry. It hosts over 125,000 attendees from 149 countries and 2,058 exhibitors from 58 countries! We showcased our printers and some great applications for dental at our booth.
For dental labs, the VisiJet Pearl on the 3510MP was a big hit! Dental technicians could not believe they were looking at 3D printed models as they were almost indistinguishable from high quality plaster. Aside from the appearance the labs loved the accuracy, the detail fidelity and the fact that they could realize significant productivity gains with easy melt away wax supports. Another growing application attracting attention is distributed implant drill guide production. The two solutions we had on display for custom drill guides were the class VI bio compatible VisiJet Clear on the ProJet 6000 and VisiJet Stoneplast on the ProJet 3510 MP.
A preview of a new software package called Galen 3D was also shown at our booth. For doctors, the Galen 3D cloud based software brings an ease of use to creating color 3D printed models from DICOM data sets t he marketplace has never seen before! Practices can print their own patient education and communication models at a low cost to doctors.
The new FaceScanner in the Sirona Galileo's cone beam scanner was also very popular! People had their faces scanned in the Sirona booth and then came to the 3D Systems booth to have their heads printed as a custom USB memory stick holder.
