"Demonology using the Felguard and in Metamorphosis is some of the best AOE in the game, without Metamorphosis but still using the Felguard it can merely keep up with the rest of the AOE."
You mention that for demonology the best AoE pet choice is the fellguard. Any thoughts on what the best single target pet is for demonology spec?
The DPS difference on a single target encounter does seem to be tiny, though. The Felguard, felhunter and succubus all seem to be within 100dps or so of each other as demonology - and I personally find myself using the felguard anyway because there are very few encounters that don't have at least some AOE aspect.

peter johnson: Hi, i followed all your steps. However, i can't get past the part about "C:\>cd Users......win32bin" it keeps on stating that "The system cannot find the path specified" Help please?
CagedAlchemist: I've been using slush but it doesn't look like I'm getting any shares at all.
lite coin: hello, great video! i have a question i am supper new on the litcoin . i want to min lite with gpu. can you help step by step.? thanks.
The420Conspiracy: can you mine other alt coin with this?
Salomon King: I have the same problem RPCMiner works fine, it's digging away on the background of my PC on average at 500/700, however refresh slush's pool.... and nothing.
Marco Huijskes: hey howtwos11 im mining with 4 cores: 4700 khash/s my mining pool site (deepbit.net) says: workers not connected but also says: 7.10 MH/s Average speed in last 10 minutes rpcminer says: 2013-11-18 14:38:01 Found Hash! Sending to server: {"method":"getwork","params":["000000028419c9b7d0a4981acfc97a 3d9f96b6444de45712a237add700000003000000003fdb5e172effc10df126bc6ed687f202412a0f 80f4de5889d1a4acb5ac8ee1ce528a263a19070bfb0bd21d00000000800000000000000000000000 000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000080020000"],"id":1} Server sent: {"result":true,"error":null,"id":"1"} so is it working correctly?
howtwos101: I'm guessing it told you that on slush's pool? This is because rpcminer uses getwork, which is the old version. The new version is stratum. To fix this, just download the mining proxy from slush's website (I'll add it to the description) and run that, then in the command to run rpc miner, just change the address from api(dot)bitcoin(dot)cz to localhost, then it will mine through stratum.
jSbr0: That's what I thought, Can't get it to run on my xp machine? Not supported or do I have to do it differently
howtwos101: It's really hard to tell, I can't find any data on that processor. I'm guessing it would be around 10 MH/s, but it could be as high as 20-30 if configured properly. The best way is to test it out. There's a great chart at bitcoin.it that I'll add to the description that shows about how many MH you should get for a unit, unfortunately it doesn't have your processor. It does have some other AMD processors that are similar, but even similar processors can have huge differences in Bitcoin mining.
howtwos101: Did you try copying and pasting the command I put in the description? If you send me a message with the command you are using, then I'll try it out on my computer and let you know if it works.
howtwos101: Just so you know, I got GPU mining working on a Mac. It had a Radeon 6750m and was mining around ~100 MH/s. I'll be making a video on it soon.
Philip Jedar: using slush's and checked, url password username are good. Time to time computer find something to hash.. But most of the time, have the error....
Anime10100: should i use the Stratum?
Kerry Butters: dual core processor
James Cain: cd / will take you straight to the root of the drive No need for cd .. x2
howtwos101: Your computer will probably be quite a bit slower, but still usable. If you want it to affect your computer less then set it to 1 core.
Anime10100: the cmd is comes up with the miner. but the slush showing im not mining nothing on my worker.account.
FLPSource: Will this work for Litecoins?
howtwos101: From what I understand, the coins would still be sent to the address that the paper wallet is. The bitcoin network doesn't care if an address is "active" (connected to a bitcoin client), it just simply sends coins where you tell it. The coins are stored are then stored at that address, which you have the private key for. I'm not too great at explaining this type of stuff, a better explanation can be found at reddit(dot)com/r/Bitcoin/comments/15t8xx/explain_offline_paper_wallets_like_im_five/
Alistair biggs: okay thanks for the help i liked and subed
HJW012: great tutorial mate! I'm on a mac and this still helped. Keep up the great videos man!

Wei, Siyu Ph.D. in Interdisciplinary Materials Science, December 2009
Ph.D. Dissertation Field Emitters and Supercapacitors Based on Carbon Nanotube FilmsPh.D. CommitteeWeng Poo Kang, Electrical EngineeringJim Davidson, Electrical EngineeringDeyu Li, Mechanical EngineeringAlvin Strauss, Mechanical EngineeringNorman Tolk, Physics----------------------------------------
Abstract. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have many potential electronic applications due to their extraordinary material properties. The extremely small diameter and high aspect ratio of CNTs, along with their excellent electron transport property and thermal stability are ideal for vacuum field emission (VFE). The high surface area to volume ratio, high electrical conductivity, and chemical stability of CNTs, are ideal for energy storage, especially supercapacitors. At comparable volumes, supercapacitors demonstrate energy density hundred times that of dielectric capacitors, and power densities a hundred times that of batteries.
This research is focused on the synthesis of CNTs using thermal chemical vapor deposition (CVD) at atmospheric pressure with Pd, Ni, and Co as catalysts, and characterization of the CNTs for field emission applications. In this work, a systematic study was performed on the catalyst processing parameters and morphologies of as-grown CNT arrays. By controlling catalyst pretreatment parameters, high-density catalyst nanoparticles with uniform size have been produced. The result indicates that Pd is a more effective catalyst than conventional catalysts such as Co and Ni, and the corresponding CNT cathodes demonstrated comparable field emission behavior (turn-on field of 2.5V/um and field enhancement factor of 7800).
Secondly, synthesis of vertically aligned CNT arrays under atmospheric pressure has been achieved by thermal CVD using cobalt (Co) and nickel (Ni) as catalysts. These well-aligned nanotubes demonstrate lower turn-on field (~ 1.2V/um) than randomly oriented CNTs. Vertical alignment of CNTs is also a critical advantage in construction of vacuum field emission triodes. The synthesis process we have developed is of very low cost thus commercially promising.
Finally, an innovative approach has been developed to fabricate CNT/transition-metal-oxide (TMO) nanocomposite thin film for supercapacitor electrodes. Particular effort has been invested into manganese dioxide (MnO2) due to its excellent pseudocapacitance, low cost, non-toxicity and readily availability. This novel approach of using nano-structured CNTs architectures provides a high surface area of attachment for MnO2 nano-particles to maximize the charge efficiency and the power density and to reduce the series resistance. In this newly developed system, the charge transfer between CNTs and MnO2 nanoparticles is very efficient due to the exceptional electronic conductivity of CNTs. The direct growth of CNTs on conductive Si substrate helps to reduce contact resistance and ESR is significantly reduced and power is enhanced. A high capacitance of 30000uF (270F/g) has been observed on CNT/ MnO2 composite electrode which is over 400 times that of MnO2-free CNT sample. And a record-breaking charging/discharging current of 1.92mA, or 17.32 A/g, has been achieved. This supercapacitor utilizes less corrosive 0.1M KCl aqueous solution as the electrolyte and is more environment-friendly than its existing counterparts. The fabrication of the CNT/MnO2 nano-architectures confirmed that the vertically aligned CNTs fabricated by this method give rise to better electrode platform configuration for further integration or loading of the as-grown vertically aligned CNTs with other transitional metal oxides to enhance the supercapacitive performance.

Built and trained by the U.S. at a cost of some $25 billion, the Iraqi Army quickly collapsed in the last few weeks against well-equipped rebel fighters. For the Americans tasked with helping to create the country's security force, it's a disturbing, though not unexpected, blow.
America Tonight asked three veterans who trained, advised and fought alongside the Iraqi Army about how such an enormous investment in blood and money could seemingly vanish so quickly.
"They weren't soldiers because they wanted to be soldiers," explained Marine First Lt. Dave Jackson, who fought with Iraqi forces during his two deployments to Iraq. "They were soldiers because they wanted a job."
He said the decision in 2003 to dissolve Saddam Hussein's army created a vacuum of structure and experience. Gone were its senior officer and senior enlisted corps, and he said what the army built instead never reached the level of a professional force.
"No matter how many billions of dollars you spend you cannot buy experience. You cannot buy legacy. You cannot just manufacture that out of nowhere," Jackson said. "…They've been set up for failure from the beginning."

Bruce Willis felt 'handicapped' with stammer
Bruce Willis use to think he was ''handicapped'' when he grew up with a stutter and credits acting for his ''miraculous'' confidence boost.
Bruce Willis used to think he was ''handicapped'' because of a speech impediment.
The 57-year-old actor lacked confidence when growing up due to his stammer and relied on visual acts to get himself noticed when he was a boy in the Club Scouts.
However, Bruce soon realised acting helped him speak fluently and describes the change in himself as ''miraculous'' - though the impediment hasn't gone completely.
Speaking in an interview with GQ magazine, Bruce explained: ''[I use to do] little skits you would probably find in the Cub Scout handbook. Little tricks. It got a big laugh, and I thought, 'This is it.'
''The Cub Scout years, I had a terrible stutter. But then I did some theatre somewhere, probably in high school. And when I memorised words, I didn't stutter, which was just miraculous.
''That was the beginning of the gradual dispelling of my stutter. I thought I was handicapped. I couldn't talk at all. I still stutter around some people now.''
Bruce - who has nine-month-old daughter Mabel with his wife Emma Heming Willis, and grown-up kids, Rumer, 24, Scout, 21, and Tallulah, 19, with ex-wife Demi Moore - is best known for his roles in action films such as 'Looper' and 'The Expendables', but he still struggles to find the right ''metaphor'' to sum up his job.
He continued: ''I can't even figure my job out. I can't figure out the proper metaphor to try to explain what it is I do, even to my kids.
''I can't get it into a nice, cozy box - 'This is what I do, and this is why.' I still like it - you can't beat the dough. But I'm sure there will be some kind of penance.''

Glacial Verree Teasdale finally gets her comeuppance in Skyscraper Souls but, for once, doesn't necessarily deserve her tragic fate. Ever the clotheshorse, Teasdale remains the best thing about this financial melodrama but there are also good performances from the devilishly suave Warren William, bright-eyed ingénue Maureen O'Sullivan ("I never had champagne before -- ooh, the bubbles ran up my nose!") and the usually neglected Anita Page. The latter at one point admits to belonging to a "very old profession," a blunt pre-production code statement that is more mindful of devil-may-care Warner Bros. than posh Metro. And it's worth noting that Skyscraper Souls also contains one shot -- a brief, complex set-up involving a character in the foreground who witnesses a silent, chilling event deep in the background, out of sight of the people she is with but well within our line of sight -- that is one of the most quietly terrifying scenes that one will see in a non-horror film of this era. While no Grand Hotel (and certainly no Dinner at Eight), Skyscraper Souls makes for an entertaining piece of depression era entertainment.

I have 4 tables I want to query at once and also use WHERE. The WHERE is the same for all tables, same field name and I'm looking for the same value for all 4. I'm not getting it to work. I've tried these two statments and the first wont query and second gives me no reults. Of course there is data in the tables..:)
Not sure how to do it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.Code:
$sql = "SELECT * FROM table1, table2, table3, table4 WHERE catagory = '$catagoryname'";
$sql = "SELECT * FROM table1, table2, table3, table4 WHERE table1.catagory = '$catagoryname' AND table2.catagory = '$catagoryname' AND table3.catagory = '$catagoryname' AND table4.catagory = '$catagoryname'";

This is Rick. Rick owns his own lawn care company. He's really good. He always makes sure that his blades are sharp, tires full and the engine is in tip top shape. Rick is also a born again christian. Jesus saves and Rick spends if you know what I mean. That pup in the shot was acting like a little jackass but don't worry, he lived.
This is Kris and Lexi. They're so in love huh? This year they went on a horseback riding trip for their anniversary. Neat! This was taken when they reached the end of the old dusty trail. The horse Kris was riding was beaten raw-he just can't seem to get enough of the sound of that whip! Lexi also brought along her grandfathers favorite revolver so she could feel just like Wyatt Earp (her favorite movie), she even fired a couple warning shots at some fellow riders. I'm sure these rascals have many more years together.
Not a lot of people know this but Drew actually served two tours in Vietnam! Way to go Drew! This pic was taken after Sgt Drew burned a guerrilla village to the ground. He is seen posing with one of the small pygmy children that were being held captive there. It is truly an honor to call him my friend. A real American Hero. God Bless America. Support the Troops. Freedom. HOOOAH!!
This is Drew. Drew recently became an uncle. Before the baby came he practiced his holding techniques with his second favorite thing on Earth-Party subs (smoking around babies is his favorite thing on Earth). He would swaddle a bacon turkey club and burp that baguette until there was nothing left but crumbs in the diaper. I think he will make his future niece very proud.
This is Joe. We've known each other for quite some time. Joe loves animals and is proving his love by becoming a zoologist You know what else Joe loves? Murdering animals with his bare hands. He once slam dunked his pet hamster through one of those mini basketball hoops, just for the hell of it! This Kodak moment was taken shortly after that little rascal (his name was Gus) tried to give Joe a friendly handshake.
This is Paul and his dad and brother. They love to go on themed cruises every summer. Paul's dad really gets into it. This particular vacay took place in 2004 on a cruise to the Virgin Islands. Paul wasn't a virgin when he came back so that was a plus. Another plus was the 24 hour surf n' turf buffet on the poop deck. YUUUUUMMMMMY!
Look at these freakin' idiots

5 stars based on 15 Reviews
Servings: 6 pints
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour 45 minutes
Difficulty: Moderate
12 cups fresh peaches with skins, pits removed and chopped (approximately 20 peaches)
1 large orange with rind, quartered and seeds removed
1 large lemon with rind, quartered and seeds removed
8 cups sugar
6 pint canning jars with lids, sterilized
Using a food processor or blender, puree the orange and lemon until smooth. Add the peaches to the citrus mixture and pulse until smooth(you may need to work in batches). In a large saucepan combine the peach and citrus mixture with the sugar. Bring to a boil over medium high heat, stirring frequently to prevent scorching. When peach mixture is at a full boil, reduce heat to medium and cook until the mixture is the color and texture of honey (approximately 1-2 hours).
Sterilize jars and lids directly before using for 10 minutes in simmering water or in the dishwasher. Remove one at a time when ready to fill.
While peach mixture is still hot, ladle into the hot sterilized jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Wipe rims with a clean damp cloth and seal jars with lids and rings. Process in a boiling water bath (making sure water level is 1 inch over the top of the jars) for 10 minutes. Remove from water bath and allow to cool on the counter.

Steven Tyler Called Out for Hitting on Teen 'Idol' Contestants
Posted by By admin at 20 January, at 08 : 58 AM Print
The Aerosmith frontman told one 16-year-old who auditioned that she had "just the right amount" of leg showing.
Blogs were ablaze Thursday morning of Steven Tyler's comments to young female American Idol contestants on Wednesday's premiere.
"Apparently, the theme of Season 10 of American Idol is pedophilia," wrote one on The Faster Times. "I'm a little disturbed."
Tyler, 62, noted that 16-year-old Victoria Huggins was wearing a skirt with "just the right amount [of leg] showing… that's nice." (Causing laughs from Jennifer Lopez and Randy Jackson.) 'American Idol' Season 10 Premiere Review: A Star Is Re-Born in Steven Tyler
Reality Blurred noted that Tyler was "leering at contestants."
A montage of Tyler flirting with female contestants was even shown. Wrote the New York Times: "The show overplayed the aging rock star's bad boy reputation with a montage of Mr. Tyler leering and flirting with some very young and sexy female contestants — he looked too much like a long-haired version of Italy's prime minister, Silvio Berlusconi." Watch 2011′s worst American Idol auditions.
But it wasn't only Idol wannabes that caught Tyler's attention. At one point, when Lopez left her seat to hug a contestant, showing off her short skirt and legs, Tyler joked to Jackson, "You looking down, boy? I see you looking down."

This holds back their ability to improve their own lives and even the development of their nations. We believe that, given opportunities such as training to develop skills, people will realize their potential and bolster economic development in their own communities. So we help people build their skills through literacy circles, vocational training, and marketing courses. We also work with local, community-based organisations to strengthen their capacity to provide positive and lasting support. We also help thousands of children who are not able to go to school with non-formal education, such as literacy, artistic, sport, cultural and personal development activities.

So here we are, the dreaded "about me" section. Like a lot of people i hate filling these out. As someone who enjoys writing, I find it wholly ironic how writing about people who don't exist comes so easy, but ask me to write about myself and I draw a blank So, let's see. I'm 21 years old, I'm a Cali girl blah blah blah I'm here because I love to write, but also because Inkpop bailed on me. Fun fact most people don't know about me, my favorite genre to write in is actually sci-fi and fantasy. You won't see them up here though lol i'm way too chicken to share. My Stories: All In the Family -"Please understand that the views reflected within are not necessarily the views of management. That's really all I have to say. A Tale of Three Brothers -My child! These guys are probably some of my best friends lol so be nice to them. On A Dime -Light, Airy, Not so much cliche as it predictable. I basically needed something to cheer me up after ATOTB! I think that's all. Oh, except I love you forever if you can name the guy in my background picture. Hint: VIP! Editing!!!!Reads!!!! I'll edit and or ready pretty much anything anyone gives me. Just know that when you accept a request of some kind I will tell you the truth. I come from inkpop and we're not accustomed to pulling our punches when it comes to editing. I will attempt to be nice, but I will be honest. Just accept it, and whatever you do don't take it personally. My goal is to help. Nothing more. Fanning Semi new here so i'm not quite sure what that's about, but okay. If I fan you it's not because I want you to read something of mine. I've gotten a lot of those lately -_- No, most likely I fanned you because you said something that I found funny. Either that or you're an inkie. I fan all of them. :D **Like what you see-check me out on facebook. https://www.facebook.com/pages/MC-Crawford/347205438724500

About Simron
Ron Moscovitch started working in the RYO industry at the tender age of 13. "by the time I was 15, I was able to do every process in the operations," says Moscovitch, who worked part-time after school and during summer vacation at Montreal, Canada-based Orleans International, Inc.
Founded by his father, in 1965, Orleans had grown steadily. Early on, the company picked up a contract to manufacture Supermatic rolling machines for CTC Industries of Montreal. Asked by a retailer soon thereafter to develop a smaller, more compact cigarette roller, Orleans designed, developed, and patented the Corona cigarette machine, which it distributed nationally in Canada.RYO Root
In 1980, the same year that Ron Moscovitch joined the company full-time, Orleans established a joint venture with CTC Industries to launch Plattsburgh, New York-based Clinton Tube Co., which would serve as a North American manufacturing and distribution center. But the company's biggest coup may well have been a 1989 deal RJR-Macdonald [the Canadian subsidiary of RJR], which chose its cigarette machine to bear the RJR trademark.
"Being RJR they were very sensitive about putting their name on a product, so the process took a year and a half," recounts Moscovitch, who says the company was considering virtually every cigarette maker on the market at the time. "They put us through the test. At one point one of their buyers opened a second story window and threw our machine out of a second story window, then picked up the phone and said, 'Send someone downstairs to bring up the machine I just tossed out the window.' When they did, he put it back on the table and rolled some cigarettes."
The Corona survived the rigorous test process and soon became the EXP1000, for which Orleans International was the exclusive manufacturer—turning out some 400,000 cigarette rollers a year. Those heady times continued into 1996, when black market cigarettes decimated Canada's RYO business. Export of cigarettes into the U.S went up dramatically, with most of that increase attributable to the sale of tax-free cigarettes in the U.S. Those cigarettes were then smuggled back to Canada or sold at Native American reservations along the border, explains Moscovitch. "Canada's RYO market could not compete with the smuggled low-cost cigarettes," he says. "It was nearly devastated."
Sensing a major downturn coming, the father-and-son team closed down operations.Cigar Sensibilities
In Florida, Moscovitch used his background and contacts in the tobacco field to begin a cigar accessories company, Orleans Group International, with a partner. The partners started out using a spare bedroom in Moscovitch's house as an office and the partners garage as a warehouse.
The partners persevered and soon made headway. "You have to be lucky, but you also have to work hard," says Moscovitch, reflecting on those early days and the pressures of starting a business."
Helping matters, the year was 1997, the beginning of the cigar boom. Within a few months Orleans International moved from the partners' homes to its first real location. Growth was so fast that within three years, the company moved again, this time to a 3,500-square-foot space with a 2,000-square-foot warehouse. Within 10 years, Orleans International was the largest cigar accessory company in the U.S., with 4,000 active accounts and doing 30 percent of its business overseas. We were selling to retailers, distributors, and wholesalers, as well as doing private label product, including humidors for General Cigar.
By 2007, the company and its owners were at a crossroads. Already significant in size, Orleans would need a capital influx to grow to the next level. Meanwhile, Moscovitch was ready for a change. "The idea of selling the company came up almost as a joke," he says. "We talked to a business broker we knew and he said that it usually takes six months to sell a business, so we thought, let's put it up. We can always take it off the market if we change our minds."
The company was listed on a Friday, and by the following Monday three buyers were expressing interest. Orleans International was sold to a large capital investment company by the end of the week."Back to the Future
Despite the business windfall, Moscovitch is wasting no time leaping back into the fray. Just a few months after selling Orleans International, he decided to return to his RYO roots and launch a new business. Simron International—named for Ron and his wife, Sima—was inspired by a trip to the 2007 RTDA show, where Moscovitch found himself reflecting on the RYO market and the advantages of the cigarette rolling machine developed by his father for their first company.
"A lot of rolling machines load from the top," he explains. "When you put too much tobacco in a machine that loads from the top, it jams. Our machine is designed in such a way that you cannot overpack it, and it consistently makes a perfect cigarette."
Simron International is in the process of reintroducing the cigarette rolling machine. "We will have distribution centers across the U.S." says Moscovitch, who expects the machine to hit the market in mid-October and have a suggested retail price of approximately $22.95. "Dealer and distributor inquiries are welcome, and private label products will also be available."
Despite the proliferation of machines currently on the market, Moscovitch is confident that his will stand out as superior. "All the machines presently on the market were there during the years we were in the rolling machine business," he says. "Our rolling machine was the best of the bunch. Once it gets back into the hands of retailers and customers, it will sell itself." •

We all wish we had our own cameraman sometimes. Whether we're doing an insane stunt, or just want to be sure we're in the shot, it's hard to frame a static shot perfectly to capture the action. Hence, the invention of the Soloshot, which was successful enough that the robot cameraman just got an upgrade.
Tag, You're Filmed
Essentially, the Soloshot is a motorized tripod head. You mark yourself with a tag, included in the package, and then you can get up to 2,000 feet from the Soloshot and still be the center of attention. The servos in the unit simply adjust the camera, at up to eighty degrees per second, and track you as you move across the frame. Neat idea, but what's new for the Soloshot?
Get Vertical
Quite a few things, actually. The Soloshot 2 has vertical tracking, making it a lot more usable right off the bat. It's also got a camera controller accessory dock, which will allow automatic zooming and other stunts. And, perhaps most usefully, you've got the ability to network Soloshots and tags; have one Soloshot follow one tag, have a dozen follow one tag, or anything in between. Essentially, you'll have a fully robotic production crew in a Pelican case. Oh, and, needless to say, it's water-tight up to twenty feet and shock-resistant. You can't hit it with a hammer, but it can take any necessary abuse.
There are a lot of "extreme sports" tools out there to help you film your crazy stunts and wipeouts, but this looks to be one that allows you a lot more creative freedom. Especially now that the Soloshot 2 has vertical tracking and can be networked with other units, it's likely a real problem-solver if you're filming extreme sports, or anything that requires a lot of tracking. It's currently available for preorder for $400.

Never Underestimate the Power of Girls Night Out
Let's face facts… when you become a mom, life changes drastically. Along with those unbelievable moments of empowerment (I helped create a human being! And then delivered that human being into the world! I'm a rock star!) are some equally unfortunate revelations: I've worn this shirt three days in a row and only just noticed. I now refer to myself in the 3rd person (Mommy) at all times. So this is my hair's natural color!
I'm not complaining, of course.
Priorities change and quite frankly, reservations at the hip new restaurant or show just aren't as important anymore. Paramount is the little one who's smiling (or crying… or pooing… or giggling) right here at home. But Mamas, here's where I jump on my box of forgotten high heels (please note: this is as much for me as it is for you).
We are highly important to this equation.
It's simply crucial to maintain some semblance of the life you had pre-baby. Having at least one conversation with your partner per night that doesn't involve poopy diapers is a great place to start. When you've mastered the art of regular conversation again, plan a date night.
And Mamas, never underestimate the power of a good girls night out. Friendships are that much more important once you become a mother. Heading out for a night on the town (even a coffee break at a cafe down the street) will remind you that underneath the sweatpants and the pureed peas on that three day old shirt, you're also a friend – a wife – a daughter – perhaps a sister. I've found that just a little break to clear my head and think about something other than diaper rash makes me a more patient and appreciative mom when I come home. Sure, if it's the first or second time that you've left your baby, you may feel slightly guilty leaving the house. That's completely natural and to be expected (especially when you go to grab your wallet and put your hand on a rattle or pacifier instead). But once you recognize that your baby is doing perfectly fine at home, please understand that taking a small break to stay connected with your friends is simply good for the soul. There's no question that I took my "free time" with friends for granted before having babies. Well, now that quality time with my gals is in much smaller doses, I can tell you I value them even more.
So there you have it. Call your posse, put a date on the calendar and pull out those heels. Laugh. Drink a glass of wine (or three). Hear a recap on your friend's date last week. I guarantee you that you'll come home feeling refreshed and ready to re-enter the world of Mommyville. And if nothing else, it will get the theme song from "Max and Ruby" out of your head for a few hours.

Best Summer Trips
City: London
Between the Queen's Diamond Jubilee in June and the Olympics in July and August, this summer belongs to London—and hotels are gearing up. Bulgari Hotel & Residences (from $950; 171 Knightsbridge; 44-20/7151-1010) will open its first property here on May 28. Firmdale Hotels adds a Marylebone gem to its boutique mix—the 38-room Dorset Square Hotel (from $250; 39–40 Dorset Sq.; 44-20/7723-7874) opens June 18. The Central Weekend of the queen's revelry (June 2–5) is packed with historic events.

Course Duration: 10AM - 4PM | Tuition: $99 | Contact an Advisor | Enroll Now
A large portion of adult TEFL courses the world over will include at least a significant element of explicit Business English instruction. You may even get to teach a stand-alone Business English class. Either way, knowing how Business English functions and how to teach it is very important if you are planning on teaching adults. Since English is an international language, there are many versions or "dialects" of Business English. Although the differences are not deeply profound, it will be important for you to identify which dialect will be most useful to your students. This course will focus on American Business English as the other dialects tend to be based in large part on it. You will learn about this dialect, the culture behind it, and how to teach it to adults. Modules will cover strategies specific to teaching adult professionals, teaching the Language of American Business English and the facets of Teaching American Business English including written and spoken Business English communication.
We have developed the Teaching Business English Seminar in response to the student requests and feedback. Students of this course will attain a new skill set for how to teach English to business professional English Language Learners (ELL). These skills will prove invaluable to TEFL Institute students, whether they are interested in teaching in Latin America, Asia or Europe.
It is recommended that students either already have their TEFL training or are well into their TEFL training before taking this course. Get in touch with a TEFL Institute advisor to discuss the best time to enroll in this seminar.

Chicago, the third largest city in the US, offers world-class cuisine, architecture, museums, sports, shopping, cultural attractions, and more.

1/72 Academy/Minicraft RAAF
Lockheed Ventura
World War 2, the RAAF used a multitude of different aircraft types from both
Britain and, later in the war, the United States. One of the lesser known types
used was the Lockheed Ventura. Three RAAF squadrons used this type, but only one
of these squadrons (13 SQN) used the aircraft on Australian home soil. The other
two squadrons (459SQN RAAF and 464SQN RAAF) flew their aircraft in the northern
hemisphere within the RAF command structure.
up, 75 Venturas made it into service in Australia,
being B-34 and PV-1 marks. They were serialled in the sequence A59-1 to A59-20
(B-34s) and A59-50 to A59-104 (PV-1s). The type saw considerable service in the
northern regions of Australia during the war, with 13SQN finally disbanding in
Jan 46, and with it the end of the Ventura's service in the RAAF.
A little known fact is that a previous Prime Minister of Australia, the Right Honorable E.G. (Gough) Whitlam, saw service flying the Ventura with 13SQN as a navigator. More information on this can be found at www.adf-serials.com .
I used the Academy Minicraft
1/72nd scale kit of the Lockheed PV-1 Ventura Gunship as the basis
for my model. It was made
effectively OOTB, with the usual cockpit additions given the amount of cockpit
glass. Misalignment of the seams on the kit did result in the use of a lot of
putty and considerable amounts of filling and sanding. But in the end, a smooth
result was achieved.
To represent a 13SQN
aircraft, I used decals (RRD7202) produced by Red Roo
Models here in Australia. This decal sheet provides markings for one aircraft,
A59-75. Aside from the usual decal application instructions, Red Roo
provides an excellent A4 colour diagram of the colour scheme and decal
application sites. Also included is a wealth of information on the history of
the aircraft and 13SQN RAAF, as well as specific information on some of the
issues related to the colour scheme of this particular aircraft.
Overall, the
aircraft colour scheme is as per US Navy camouflage during the war, with a
combination of non-specular sea blue, semi-gloss sea
blue, intermediate blue and insignia white. In
the main, the national markings were modified US markings, with the American
'stars' over-painted with the RAAF roundel (white and blue circles) but with
the US 'bars' left protruding to the left and right sides. One interesting
note is that A59-75 had the normal white and blue RAAF fin flashes as worn
during WW2 applied, but in reverse order with the blue to the front and the
white to the rear.
All up, a most enjoyable build and another interesting addition to my collection of lesser-known and/or intriguing aircraft flown by the RAAF.

I don't understand people who DON'T love animals.
Me neither - they're delicious.
What I don't understand is people who don't understand my deep aversion to stepping in dog shit, dog fleas, dog hair everywhere, dogs rubbing their wormy arses on carpet, dogs barking all day and night, dogs jamming their noses in my crutch, dogs licking their arses and then my hand - dogs love me, I hate 'em. Not too keen on hearing mice scream at night when the girlfriend's cat is torturing them either.

Bump Bump Bump
The term 'selective abstraction' is used in psychology to describe a flawed or prejudicial way of thinking. What occurs in this type of cognitive bias is that a person takes detail out of context and believes that while everything else in context is ignored. In lay terms it is what is 'cherry-picking'. In essence it is not reading the whole story but then basing an argument on the bits you have selected. It is about pointing out everything that is wrong in the way informants are managed and refusing to see the huge amount of good that is done through their use. It is about turning a blind eye to informants that have been mismanaged, pretending these were isolated incidents, then refusing to learn from them. It is a very human failing. We don't want to see what is wrong on our side. We don't want to or can't see another perspective because maybe if we do it means acknowledging we have not been doing things as well as we could have.
When it comes to managing informants everywhere, including the US, there are problems but there is also a significant amount of good work being done and this needs to be recognised. Citizens need to realise how valuable a resource that informants are both in regard to our safety and to the criminal justice system. If a terrorist is intent in bombing our cities then let us hope that somewhere a police officer has an informant stuck in the middle of that plot. If someone is dealing drugs outside the high school where our children attend, then let us hope that a police officer has heard about it from an informant. If one of our children has become mixed up in gang violence then let us hope that a police officer hears about that before we end up burying that child. Every law abiding citizen should be encouraging others to give information about crime to law enforcement.
But all involved in the criminal justice system need to recognise that there are problems with the way in which informants are managed at present. This is not just about protecting the rights of citizens it is also about officer safety. While there are many progressive law enforcement agencies that are attempting to raise standards there is not a collective approach and as such those improvements are likely to have limited success. Is significant change possible? I believe it is and I have seen evidence of it within a number of forward thinking US law enforcement agencies. These include the major police department that has undertaken the training of every officer in relation to the risks involved in informant management, a police department involved proactively recruiting informants to address specific threats, agencies that are writing new and better policies and the sheriff's department that has altered business processes and implemented a comprehensive software solution to provide full accountability in all informant cases - officers with objectivity and vision.

Training ~ Tying From Above ("Printer Friendly" version of this page)
is an old Mexican Vaquero technique that you can use to teach your horse how to
move its feet, disengage the hindquarters, learn patience, how to relax,
and how to follow a feel. The great part about this technique is that the horse
actually teaches itself how to do these things.
The Vaquero's used to tie their horses up high to a stout branch in an oak tree. They would leave enough slack in the lead so that the horse could move around, but couldn't step over the lead rope. The horse would learn to move it's feet correctly on it's own. If you have ever high lined your horse in the back country or tied them to a branch from above, you've done this, but you probably didn't realize it.
We learned this technique from Bruce Hall who spent a lot of time with us working on the equipment and safety aspects of tying from above. What originally got us interested in this was a story that Bruce was telling about how he used to tie his horse when he was working fences in the Okanogan backcountry on the Washington/Canada border. He told us how he would stop for lunch and being a bit lazy, he would tie the end of his mecate reins up into the branches of a tree. When he got off his horse, he noticed that his horse was disengaging the hindquarters and searching for the spot in the rope where he had the most slack to relax his head. This got us to thinking about how to incorporate it into our training program. One day when Bruce was over, we got out some rope and set up a high line between the posts in our arena. We hooked up a horse and started to watch. Sure enough, the horse did exactly what Bruce said he would. He would start to walk out and get to the end of the rope, disengage his hindquarters and go a different direction. It almost looked like the horse was training himself.
With Bruce's help, we made a permanent tie by stringing the rope through the trusses in the roof of our arena. We attached the rope to a pulley that could be pulled out of the way when we aren't doing this excercise with a horse. This works well for us because it rains a bit in our area and we can use the equipment any time we want without having to spend time setting up high lines or stringing ropes. Since building this equipment, we have worked with every one of our horses and incorporate tying from above into our training program. The things that your horse can learn from this technique can be taught in other ways, but you can accelerate their learning by using it. It's like moving your horse up a few grades in school almost instantly.
Setting up your equipment
You need an open area that has at least a 20 foot circle free of objects on the ground. There are a couple of ways that you can set up your equipment. If you have a high line, stretch it between two solid objects; trees, horse trailers, etc. preferably 8-10 (and at least 7) feet of the ground. If you have an arena or structure available with solid trusses that would potentially support the weight of a horse, you can use this too. The best set up that I have seen was two old telephone poles set about 60 feet apart with a wire cable running between them, twelve feet off the ground. This allowed 3 horses to be hooked up and "trained" at one time.
We used 60 feet of half inch double braid rope attatched to the trusses in our arena by a pulley system. This was a costly solution (about $150 in materials) but we plan on using this equipment with many horses. And, if you consider what your horse gets out of it versus what you have to put into it -- you don't need to be an economist to see the cost benefit.
You must leave enough slack in the rope for the horse to relax it's head, but not enough that they could get a foot over the rope. You may have to experiment with the right amount of rope for tying. We usually hook up the horse, get them to yield at the poll and see where this "magic spot" is and leave enough slack so that the horse can go there if they are directly under the rope. You are better off to have a bit less slack at first, just in case things don't go exactly as you expect.
Whatever you do, don't leave the horse tied up high headed in an unnatural position. We have seen people high line their horses where they had their heads tied up so they couldn't relax. This would not be a productive with this training excercise.
At a minimum, you need a rope halter, 12 foot lead rope and a very sturdy support to tie the rope to. We use a snap on the end of our rope so that we can release the horse quickly if something were to go wrong. There are some important things to consider before you attempt this. You must have a very sturdy structure to tie to. You may want to use a high line stretched between two trees. This is probably the safest way to do this. I always test the support and rope by swinging from it. If it won't support my weight, it won't hold up to a horse pulling back on it.
This is really amazing to watch. On their own, the horse will learn to move it's feet under them. This is the foundation for yielding to you and disengaging the hindquarters for a single rein stop. So many good things happen with this technique that it's almost like winning the horse training lottery! If there ever was a secret horse training method that any horse could benefit from almost instantly, this is it. The bad news is that you can't just run out and tie your horse to the roof of your barn without setting things up correctly and safely for the horse -- it may cost you some time and money.
Once the horse learns that they are tied, you can sit back and watch the learning happen. The horse will eventually start to move around under the rope. The horse has a few options for movement;
Forward, backward, and lateral movement are severely restricted by the rope, and most horses aren't going to walk around in circle too long. Because of the nature of the way the rope is tied, the horse will naturally move by disengaging either the front end or hindquarters. This teaches the horse that in order to move its feet, it is going to have to yield. Some horses get "stuck" when you first hook them up to the rope. In this case, we liven up the training session with a flag. The horse has no choice but to move. And in order to move it has to move it's feet, he quickly finds that he can only go so far forward and backward. This is where the learning starts.
The horse will eventually flip the rope up and over his head. He'll yield to the rope on both the front and hindquarters. The horse will learn to switch directions on the rope. To do this they must either yield the front or rear feet. You will see that this is exactly the same movement that you are asking for when you ask for a shoulder yield, eye yield, or hindquarters yield. The only difference is that the horse is doing it on their own. Now a little common sense will tell you that if the horse can do something on it's own, you should be able to recreate this movement by asking correctly. The foundation will be there for you to build on.
Over some time, you'll notice that the horse will move it's feet softly and begin to know where his feet are and what to do with them. This is a huge thing with many horses. The ability to move their feet correctly and softly is something that can take months. You could do this in the saddle or on the ground. But this is basically "foolproof", almost anyone regardless of their training abilities can watch a horse work on it's own. While not everyone has the ability to work a horse in the saddle or on the ground correctly.
One of the best things that this is going to do for your horse is teach him to follow a feel all on his own. If you look at the rope youll notice that the place that the horse gets the most slack is directly under the rope. The horse will naturally gravitate to this point after time because this is where the horse gets the "best deal" the most slack equals the best relaxed position to keep their head. The horse will follow the feel of the rope to get this best deal on its own. We like to show them where the good deal is at first by yielding the poll directly under the rope.
The horse will begin to look for the slack in the rope and will eventually find the spot directly below the rope is where they can relax. The best part of this is that you don't really have to do anything and it's relatively safe for the horse too. About the only thing you have to watch for is if your horse rears and can get a leg over the lead. Although, this is highly unlikely if you set up your tools correctly.
You have to let the horse work out being tied from above on their own. Your responsibility is to sit back, relax and make sure that the horse stays out of trouble. The horse has a lot of things working for him right from the start. Unlike being tied to a solid object, the horse doesnt learn to pull back. Pulling back will not get the horse anywhere. And, if the horse does fall down, it wont get hurt like it can in the cross ties or tied to a solid object like a hitching post. This is a very safe option for both you and the horse to learn about the basic foundation of groundwork.
This is one of my favorite training tools because I get to sit in a lawn chair and watch my horse learn.
If you want your horse to learn to stand quietly on its own. Or you are having problems with your horse in the cross ties, this is a good first step in teaching. There is no where for the horse to go and there's not much choice but to learn a little patience.
We have a Morgan mare that was real "uptight" when we got her, she couldn't stand still for 20 seconds before she was pacing. This was a "free" horse that was given to us because of her many bad habits. This horse never learned to relax and just stand still. She was thirteen years old when we started working with her. Her previous owners used her in the show ring. She was ridden with spurs, a "french roller" bit and tied down with a martingale. This horse was really screwed up, she didn't know how to move her feet, yield, or relax, and she had absolutely no patience. She's still not a perfect horse, but after tying her from above and working with her on the ground -- at least she can stand still, move her feet and disengage her hindquarters. We are well on our way to having a good horse.
Time Frame
We start this exercise with each horse for about 10 minutes at a time. Once they look relaxed and comfortable, we'll leave them hooked up for about 20 minutes then move up to a couple of hours. We gradually work up to 8-10 hours. This may sound like a lot of time, but we are using this to work towards a number of things. In addition to the things stated previously, we want our horses to be conditioned for high lining in the backcountry. We plan on sleeping at least 8 hours so we figure our horses need to learn to be tied at least that long!

Michael McCollum's Euclid's Wall is a Science Fiction novel with a twist: it takes place in a future where almost all technology has been lost and the action all takes place on a old fashion rigged sailing ship. However, this is not your typical post-nuclear-holocaust scifi novel, and in more ways than one almost reads more like Billy Budd or a Robert Louis Stevenson novel in that it is very much a sailing novel.
But it is a science fiction novel, and every time I had a question that I thought wasn't covered, it was answered later in the book.
I don't want to give away too much because a lot of the fun is finding out exactly what is going on, but the science is solid, the story is engaging, and the characters are interesting.
McCollum's detail for solid science in his writing should come as no surprise, he's worked as an engineer for most of his life, including redesigned a valve that failed at Three Mile Island after its unfortunate failure.

pup on the street - Mr. Butterfingers
earlier this week my Mom was in the hospital for two days (she is fine - she was attacked by a crocodile at the zoo and had to get a pegleg). while Mom was stuck in the hospital bed eating Jell-O and complaining about her roommate who was coughing up a lung more than half the time, my sisters and Dad were keeping company bedside, cracking jokes and taking videos as Mom pretended to sleep because she didn't want to talk to them.
anyways, when it was time to go home my sis Nikki walked to the parking lot. upon getting in her car she spotted something completely AMAZING. here is our text conversation, pics included:
NIKKI: Found this guy outside the hospital
AMANDA: LOL AMAZING!! going on the blog tomorrow!! he's SO fat already. hahah
NIKKI: i know he was loving life it was a whole one too we started and watched him eat it all
NIKKI: And there is the end of it
AMANDA: alexis and I are LOLing at work! she said, 'what a litterbug!'
NIKKI: Haha i know we want to know how he even got that butterfingers
(the end)
i love his gut and how he is leaning up against the tree so perfectly. and how you can see the orange inside of the candybar. and how his lil hand is cradling that Butterfinger like he has chomped on a million before.
this guy is clearly making out. if we could all be so lucky.
good for him!

I recently went in search of a silver box in one of the period rooms of a major museum (it wasn't there).

Upcoming shows and fairs in New York
January 9, 2014 | Armory Antique Show
The Armory Antique Show is a crowd pleaser, offering a playful abundance of eclectic wares at a range of prices. Organizers promise roughly one hundred specialists in antique and vintage furniture, folk art, Americana, modern design, garden ornament, lighting, jewelry, silver, textiles, and ceramics. Under new management this year, the Armory Antique Show was recently acquired by U.S. Antique Shows, whose schedule includes events in Florida, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas. Snowbirds flock to its flagship Original Miami Beach Antique Show, planned for January 30 to February 3 and perhaps best known for fine art, furniture, jewelry, silver, and ceramics. Vice president and group fair director Dan Darby promises few changes to the New York show, a magnet for Americana.
