Taraji P. Henson is the latest celebrity to pose naked for PETA's anti-fur campaign, "I'd Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur." The 40-year-old was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her role in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and also starred in Karate Kid.
Henson was inspired to take off her clothes to support animals after she saw a documentary about animal fur farms. She explains:
Before I saw that documentary, I would wear fur. But I saw this documentary, and I was riveted. I cried ... could you imagine someone ripping your hair out, while you're still awake, fully conscious? It's ridiculous.
While I totally agree with her that fur farms are deplorable, I've thought for a while that these PETA ads are a bit two-faced. Save animals by objectifying women? PETA's barking up the wrong tree.
I love that PETA's goal is to raise awareness for animal rights, I just don't love their delivery. Animal cruelty is an issue that should be brought to our attention, but why do so by objectifying women? They're not pushing perfume or some banal product that needs sex to sell, they're promoting the idea that animals are needlessly tortured and killed for fashion.
The animal rights message is weightier, and to me, PETA takes the easy way out by using naked celebrities. They should not be selling sex to save animals.
The debate over the objectification of women in advertising has been going on for decades, and I'm not against a little booty or boobie in an ad; I'm just not sure I agree with an ad campaign that advances one cause at the expense of another.
Do you think PETA sends the wrong message by using naked celebrities in their ads?

Did you say 40? Wow, if I looked that good at 40, i would probably be strutting the streets naked. Anyway, peta uses men in these ads too, so it isnt just women. Not that i agree with half of the stuff peta does or says, they are a little over the top for me.
I'm a total animal lover but even I think the people at PETA are kinda nut-jobs. That being said, I don't mind this campaign at all. The nakedness catches your attention for the 10 seconds they need to make their point. Mission accomplished. I'd rather use "sex" to sell a good cause than to sell jeans. Besides, MrsSamMerlotte is right, they use men too.
Ten years ago I was told by a PETA Youth Leader that I should not feed my ferrets meat. I told them they cannot digest plant matter because they will get impacted bowels. I was then told then they should starve. PETA is nothing but a bunch of crooks who prey on peoples emotions. Yeah show the little bunny getting its head bashed in by fur traders but dont show how many animals PETA kills per year themselves. They are a scam. If you want to help animals then contact the ASPCA or the Humaine Society.
i agree with you. peta makes its self looking like the heros-but if you cant eat solely plants you yourself should die. im glad about getting the word out-but this is alos just wrong. oh-any body's kid ever sign up for those peta kids letters that look so sweet and catoon characters and promise stickers? well they sent my child a video link to animals being violently slaughtered and one of these slut ads.
PETA is a dishonest group of idiots. They claim to be for animal rights but their opinions on domesticated animals are SICKENING. I really wish celebs would stop supporting them! They need to find out about the group they are representing BEFORE they pose for these ads!
I have never ONCE thought "oh those poor little animals, I'll stop wearing fur" when seeing these naked ads. What goes through my mind is "wow he/she looks good, wish they'd show more" and then I go back to my life.

The last hour of Draco Malfoy.

(#) TheIllusiveOne 2006-05-06 06:28:04 PMGood idea, but Ron was pretty out of charactor. He's always been hot heated, I don't believe for one second he would have simply tossed Malfoy in the veil for a painless death without beating him or cursing first. Especially if he raped his sister and friend.

Having been a rape investegator, I also deeply detest and despise anyone who commits that particular crime. I can understand reasons for almost any other crime, even murder, but never rape. Draco deserves exactly what he got in this story. Alorkin

(#) Rocky235 2008-01-13 07:53:55 PMI liked it for simpler reasons than some may have. Ferret was sentenced and given an opportunity to speak remorse. Not going to do it and immediately executed. A very simple plan. Effective too.
Your story telling was superb as always.
There was a little tension build up with Draco watching prisoners being drug screaming down the hall, never to return. He never understood what happened though.
Author's responseYes, the wizaeding world seems very straightforward at times! Glad you enjoyed the story

(#) Fyrecat 2009-05-04 05:55:40 PMNice. Draco finally gets what he deserves.
Although, I would almost have liked to see him get biblical justice - you know, good ol' "eye for an eye" stuff.
Still, this was good. Thanks.

(#) walkabouttigger 2009-11-30 12:29:50 PMWhile Ron may have consistently had a short fuse in canon, there is no reason for him to not have taken a calming potion prior to dealing with the one person he knew he would need one for - Draco Malfoy.
This does broach one concern I have had about the Ministry of Magic. They have an artifact whose purpose is unknown. They only know that whatever gets sent into it never comes out, that they know about. So they use The Veil to "execute" their prisoners. Yes, magicals have little intellect and less sense.
A good, true-to-canon characterization.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I didn't know Mages were getting the bonus on that chest piece. I was under the impression (maybe wrong on my part) that only shadow priests were getting the bonus as dps. This is the quote from Bashiok explaining the roll bonus system:
If you're in a raid as one of the below roles here is what you'll receive a roll bonus on:
Agility Leather (for druids)
Strength plate with tank stats on it
Trinkets with tank stats
Trinkets with Agility (for druids)
"Tank stats" = Dodge, Parry, or Mastery
Any appropriate caster gear without Hit
Trinkets that trigger on heals or beneficial spells
Mostly everything that doesn't have a tank stat on it
Spirit gear (for elemental shaman, shadow priest, and moonkin)
Trinkets that trigger on damaging spells/melee hits
Reading that it gives the impression that only spriests get the roll bonus as DPS, if that is not the case big fail on Blizzard explaining things.

By Howard Pousner
Georgians won't be able to say this year whether they're willing to support the arts with a small share of sales tax.
That idea, coming in a session that generated headlines about state funding of the arts, died Thursday night in the final minutes of the 2010 Georgia General Assembly.
House Bill 335 would have enabled every county in Georgia to put up for referendum a fractional sales tax of up to 1 cent for arts and culture, including zoos and other nonprofit attractions, and economic development initiatives.
The bill had passed out of conference committee earlier Thursday and was approved by the Senate around 11:45 p.m. But when it hit the House floor at 11:30 p.m., it drew an immediate objection. The legislation had not been on representatives' desks for an hour, as House rules require, and the midnight deadline for all votes was rapidly approaching.
With that, a bill that had moved quietly since being introduced in early February, but that nonetheless held big implications for Georgia's struggling $722 million arts industry, crashed.
Supporters had high hopes for the legislation, which they said would supplement chronically weak public funding for arts and culture in Atlanta and Georgia. One model for it was Salt Lake County's Zoo, Arts and Parks (ZAP) Tax, which distributed more than $11.25 million to 158 cultural groups in the Utah capital in 2009 from a penny tax on every $10 spent.
"It's a terrible disappointment," Georgia Humanities Council president Jamil S. Zainaldin said of the bill's failure. "At time when the arts are taking a hit in Georgia, we would've had the satisfaction of knowing that we could explore new funding initiatives that would help pull communities together."
Flora Maria Garcia, CEO of the Metro Atlanta Arts & Culture Coalition (MAACC), which had advocated for the bill along with Friends of Arts & Culture — a statewide grassroots group of civic, arts and business leaders — said she was "momentarily disappointed" but vowed the effort was just starting.
"There's only, what, 224 days until the next session, and transportation's taken four years," Garcia said. "We've gotten very far in one year with very innovative legislation, and it was really remarkable to us how much support there was in the legislature for this."
The bill encountered late issues in the House on Thursday, and MAACC had supporters e-mailing Rep. Jan Jones (R-Alpharetta) and others. Friday Jones said there were "a lot of concerns in caucus," ranging from potential "sales tax fatigue" among taxpayers, to the prospect of ceding the power to call for a referendum to an arts entity, to the question of who would be liable if a funded arts group defaulted.
Earlier, amid heavy budget slashing on Crossover Day, the House voted to eliminate funding for the Georgia Council for the Arts. The Senate Appropriations Committee later restored $890,735, attempting to ensure that the GCA would retain matching funds from the National Endowment for the Arts. The GCA budget was then cut to $790,735 in conference committee this week.
The private Georgia Humanities Council, meanwhile, received $50,000. That appropriation allows the council, operating with a $1.4 million budget this year, to leverage state funds with federal and private dollars.

As I understand it, the bill was an "option" that counties could use for arts funding. The state would not be creating a sale tax 'fatigue' because the citizens would vote on passage and individual counties could decide whether or not to implement the tax. The counties and local citizens had further control on how the tax would be used in their counties. This is a great, flexible bill. I am encouraged by the comments from our arts leaders stating this has a good chance next year.

I have seen Artisan's work and taxation of those unwilling to purchase his work is the only way he can make a sale. If it is really appreciated, someone will buy it!

When you choose to be an artist you have to understand that you have to be actually good enough that people who like it will be willing to pay for it so you can make a living…not force others to pay you to frolic. We have a zoo…we don't need another zoo. We have plenty of parks…although, we may need more park benches, so we all have a place to sleep after we loose our houses paying for yet another tax. What's next…a sales tax to support baby sitters and lifeguards? Why not one to build a shelter where all the politicians that get voted out for trying to pass stuff like this can live.

I was under the impression that the Conservative mantra was that fewer taxes = greater development? Business are "strained" by the "tax burden" upon them, according to the Right. This seems to be ideologically dishonest.
I also find some of these comments highly amusing. One, this refers to institutions, not purchased "art". If you had read the article you would know this. Two, some of the greatest architectural and artistic achievements made by mankind have been, technically, "Government Art". Once again, the RANDactionary ideology of the unwashed, uneducated tea party masses overcomes reason, sense and logic in order to rant and rave against government. Honestly, as stupid as you people are, you wouldn't last six weeks without the GOVERNMENT keeping things running.
But again, since you all obviously missed the point while ranting about artists and government – this isn't a sales tax on purchased art. I believe that if you buy art, you ALREADY pay sales tax. This would be a sales tax levied on admission fees (for example) to places like the High, the Alliance, etc.
However, since it's obvious that most of you are Philistines of the highest order, I doubt you'll ever, ever have to worry about it. Unless they add sales tax to the rodeo.

Which part of "ideological nonsense" did you not understand, "whatdoiknow"? Yes, that IS the position of you tea party idiots, but it is not anything OTHER than an opinion. It certainly isn't supported by anything approaching fact or precedent.
Do you think that just because you keep saying, over and over, "Government should not be in the business" it will become something OTHER than an ideological opinion? No…it won't.
By the way, saying "government taxation" is redundant, and make you look even more stupid.

A Moab mother and her child lost their trailer home in an electrical fire Tuesday morning.
The fire began about 8:15 a.m. with an "electrical short in the wall," said Moab Fire Chief Corky Brewer.
The mother, who was in bed with her 1-year-old child, smelled smoke and got up, Brewer said. By then, the front porch was fully engulfed.
"She was lucky to get out," he said.
The home was totally destroyed; it was not insured, and Red Cross teams are helping the family with housing.
Firefighters struggled to contain the blaze as 30 to 35 mph winds gusted through the neighborhood.
"I don't know how we kept that whole trailer park from going down," Brewer said.

The Myo effectively makes every screen a touchscreen. Ok, perhaps it's a gross oversimplification, but if you've checked out the video and the article I wrote in February of this year you understand what I'm alluding to. The Myo slips over your arm and using a variety of sensors is able to translate your hand movements to gestures that can control your phone, tv, or computer without physically touching it.
Last week I "sat down" with the Myo team and peppered them with a number of questions in the hopes of getting greater clarity about the product.
Can you please tell us about the company's founders (background)?
Thalmic was founded in 2012 by three engineers (Stephen Lake, Matthew Bailey, and Aaron Grant) who were in the same graduating class of the University of Waterloo's Mechatronics Engineering program. Previously, the three had been involved in a vast range of high tech product development, from building software at Zynga, to designing surgical robots in Germany, to developing out-of-this-world lunar rovers at the Canadian Space Agency.
What was the genesis of the MYO?
The idea for MYO was born in April 2012 as the three sought out to answer a fundamental question: How do we connect the real and the digital worlds as we move towards wearable and ubiquitous computing?
Is the MYO technology proprietary or is it licensed?
The MYO technology is proprietary.
How sensitive is the MYO to movements?
MYO is able to detect large movements of the arm down to fine movements of the hand.
What's the MYO's battery life?
We haven't released information on battery life yet, but MYO uses rechargeable Lithium-Ion batteries.
Could the MYO be used as a sleep device?
This is not a focus for us, but there could be applications thought-up by third party developers in which wearing MYO while sleeping could be useful.
How do you negate false positives, such as someone scratching their face or other areas of their body?
Our machine intelligence and pattern recognition algorithms are complex and are overcoming these issues. For example, we use a specific gesture to enable and disable recognition, so that when users are not actively using the device it will ignore gestures and motions.
Can you compare the MYO to the Kinect and Leap Motion?
MYO uses EMG sensors to detect the movements of your forearm to communicate with digital devices. The issue with camera-based inputs is that it restricts the user's movement and forces that user to stay within the confines of what the camera is able to see.
Can the MYO be used for gaming?
Definitely – we've seen a ton of interest in MYO for gaming!
How many units have shipped to developers?
We're carefully rolling out our developer program and applications are open at https://developer.thalmic.com/. We're still on track to ship the first units later this year.
What kind of apps have developers made so far? Can you give us some specific examples?
We have a long list of developers who are excited to develop for MYO, but have yet to announce a list of specific apps that will be available with MYO.
Can you speak to some of the hurdles creating the MYO?
We faced (and continue to face) all the same challenges entrepreneurs in technology companies face every day: developing the technology, funding development, finding a market fit, recruiting talent, and so on. Since we're a hardware company, there are a few extra challenges we have to deal with on both the engineering and business levels – supply chain, quality control, distribution, and financing all this. One big challenge we faced was a technical one – existing sensor technology that picks up muscle activity signals wasn't suitable for our application, so we spent over a year developing our own brand new sensor. The work has paid off: now we have a sensor that works in our demanding application, and we've generated valuable intellectual property and patents along the way.
When will the product ship to consumers?
We'll begin shipping out the first units in late 2013.
Anything else you'd like to tell us about the MYO?
We're excited to get MYO into our customers' waiting hands. We're still accepting pre-orders for just $149 at https://www.thalmic.com/en/myo/preorder/.

Bach Standard Series Flugelhorn Mouthpiece in Gold Group II
The Bach Standard Series Flugelhorn Mouthpiece in Gold Group II includes the following mouthpiece models: 9, 9A, 9B, 9C, 9D, 10, 10B, 10C, 10-1/2A, 10-1/2C, 10-1/2CW, 10-1/2DW, 10-1/2D, 10-1/2E, 10-1/2EW, 10-3/4A, 10-3/4CW, 10-3/4EW, 11A, 11B, 11C, 11D, 11E, 11DW, 11EW, 11-1/2A, 11-1/2C, 11-3/4C, 12, 12B, 12C, 12CW, 17, 17C, 18, 18C, 20CWhen selecting a mouthpiece, a brass instrumentalist should choose one with a solid, compact tone of large volume. A carefully selected Bach mouthpiece can help improve a player's embouchure, attack, tonguing and endurance.Because no two players have the same lip or tooth formation, what is perfect for one may be entirely unsuitable for the other. Bach produces many different models so that each player can find the best mouthpiece for their individual embouchure.A mouthpiece consists of the rim, cup, throat, and backbore. Bringing these various components into proper relationship constitutes the art of superior mouthpiece production.In choosing a special combination of rim, cup, throat and backbore designs, consider the effects of each.RIMWide: Increases enduranceNarrow: Improves flexibility, rangeRound: Improves comfortSharp: Increases brilliance, precision of attackCUPLarge: Increases volume, controlSmall: Relieves fatigue, weaknessDeep: Darkens tone, especially in low registerShallow: Brightens tone, improves response, especially in high registerTHROATLarge: Increases blowing freedom, volume, tone; sharpens high register (largest sizes also sharpen low registerSmall: Increases resistance, endurance, brilliance; flattens high registerBACKBOREExcept in general terms, it isn't possible to identify backbores by size because they also vary in shape. Various combinations of size and shape make the tone darker or more brilliant, raise or lower the pitch in one or more registers, increase or decrease volume. In each instance, the effect depends in part on the throat and cup used in combination with the backbore.Key To Trumpet, Cornet and Fluegelhorn Model Numbers:Bach trumpet, cornet and fluegelhorn mouthpieces have been numbered in an orderly progression from the largest to the smallest diameters and from the deepest to the most shallow cup, each with a choice of rim designs.Rim shape is described for each indi- vidual model throughout the catalog. Model numbers progress numerically from model #1 with the largest cup diameter, to model #20C with the smallest cup diameter.Cup depths are notated with letters. "A" cups are the deepest; standard cups have no letter designation; progressively shallower cups are marked B through F.

Albany-- For the first time, more farmers are using the internet for advice on how to grow their crops than those who don't.
Since they live in rural areas, farmers have been considered some of the least likely to use computers.
But it's no longer true. That was evident at this month's Georgia Farm and Peanut Show where most every exhibitor had computerized demonstrations.
"That's what the growing group that's out there wants, they are technical and we need to give them that kind of information," said Technical Specialist Herb Young.
Bayer Crop Science was using their simulations to help farmers choose the best pesticides to avoid diseases like black rot and the tomato wilt virus.

Larken I was hospitalized by MEDUSA with it's attack mode sound but in microwave of course so only I could hear it. I went to the hospital because I was shaking and pissing brown by the morning when a vehicle pulled away from the side of my home.The side without windows.
I was then involuntarily committed tortured with the guy in the next bed in the room tortured as well. On mca..... and mindcontrolr..... groups on yahoo I put a scanned document to show that I had been hospitalized by police and my home was searched for bomb making materials. I got this from the mental health clinic's records.
They also had me drugged unconscious for a day and altered the dates to hide this. I have documented proof of this as well. God know what they did with me for over a day unconscious.
They played kill the terrorist with me and I have the documents and have seen them hurt others to get at me. I know very well what they do in the name of fighting terrorism, and they have done far more over the years.
Peter Rosenholm
Just because your article about terrorism is most excellent, I suggest changing the sentence "And, by definition, any rebelling force that does so, ..." to
"And, by definition, any group which rebells, since their actions are, by definition, illegal, would fit into..."
Child Protective Services taking a child
from its parents because the parent spanked the child. The child thought
it knew terror from the spanking. Now it really has terror. "For the children."
Generalized verbalized "hate crimes" hurt
nobody. Government's true hate of people is what actively damages people
for using non-violent freedom of speach, that government terms "hate crimes."
Which terrorist did the hate crime damage here? The one using freedom of
speach? Or Government arresting and prosecuting him?
REMEMBER, Government
by itself harms nobody, does nothing. Everything Government does is really
done by people.
Bravo! Brilliantly said!

Gavin and Luke's Stories
My first son, Gavin, was due April 24, 2002. I was dealing with some emotional issues regarding his father and was not able to imagine him being born yet. Suddenly, on the evening of April 25, I just felt strong, ready, and excited! I was feeling some pressure, but it wasn't painful at all. I started cleaning the house for company. Then I took a shower, shaved my legs and painted my toenails. When my "contractions" became between one and four minutes apart, I decided it was time to call my best friend and ask her for a ride to the hospital.
When we got to the hospital I had to stay in triage because there were no rooms. My mom arrived after leaving her graveyard shift at work. It was 1 a.m. and I had been there for about two hours. I was just doing a crossword puzzle, after having speed-walked around the halls for an hour. My doctor happened to be there for someone else. I was only 1 cm. dilated and he told me to come back when I was in a worse mood (he caught me just laughing and joking with my loved ones).
We proceeded home at around 4:30 a.m. Lisa and I crawled into bed to try to get some rest, while my mom, who would have been working anyway, went to paint her guest room. We were in bed only a couple of minutes when I had two sharp pains a few minutes apart from each other. Suddenly I jumped up and screamed to Lisa, "My water broke!" I ran to the bathroom.
It was a whole new me after that. WHEW! Now this was labor! I became the stereotypical grouch immediately. The contractions were painful with hardly any time to rest in-between. It was about 4:45 a.m., and back we went to the hospital.
Once I got there they said I was at 2-3 cm. They said I could get an epidural at 4 cm. I said that I wanted one. They did not want to check me too often since after the water breaks there is a risk of infection. So a few hours later they checked me, but I was at 6-7 cm. and they said it was too late for the epidural. I didn't remember much of what happened after that until my family reminded me; I was just trying to live through the pain.
At about 8:40 a.m., my doctor said to start pushing. One minute later, my son, Gavin Vincent, was born. He weighed eight pounds, fourteen ounces and measured twenty and a half inches with a gigantic head. I found out later that his head circumference was in the 95 percentile. I didn't get my epidural but it wasn't so bad, because my labor only lasted four hours.
Seventeen months later I was expecting my second son, due September 26, 2003. It was the 30th and I went in for induction. My doctor said he would not let me go more than a week over my due date. We arrived at the hospital at 8 a.m. and waited several hours to get things started. By about 4 p.m. we were in a room (the babies' father was with me this time) and they started the Pitocin drip. They start off slow to see how you'll react to it. I didn't feel anything for the first few hours, but I expected it to take a very long time. About 7 p.m. I was in some pain, but waiting for it to get much worse, from what I've heard about Pitocin. Suddenly, about 9:30 p.m., I said, "It's coming, it's coming!" and my water broke.
In the moments following we found out that the cord was wrapped around my son's neck and with each contraction his heart rate was going down drastically. Everyone started running around frantically as they paged my doctor. They were having me sign forms authorizing an emergency C-section: my worst fear.
When my doctor arrived he was calm. He explained that if the contractions were over quickly and my baby's heart rate jumped back up, my son would be okay. But he also said we should be prepared, so we went to the OR and prepped for a C-section.
I was 8-9 cm. dilated, so the doctor said he would let me labor for a while and see if I could deliver vaginally. It took about five minutes and he was giving me the orders to push. I pushed for a couple of minutes, and at 9:50 p.m., I gave birth to my second son. His name is Luke Vincent and he weighed eight pounds, fifteen ounces and measured twenty one inches long. His head circumference was off the charts! Did I mention that I had no time for an epidural with him, either? This labor lasted about two hours.
The OR staff was excited and pretty emotional because they don't ever get to see vaginal births. There were at least seven staff members present. I feel so lucky to have had such fast labors and strong, healthy sons!

Filling is not too rich if you follow the recipe to the letter. Could be fine for most but I think next time I'll up the sugar just a tad and lower the corn starch so it's not quite as thick. That was my own personal opinion, which I kept to myself as my guests were complimenting how tasty they were!

'Winnie the Pooh' Lovingly Goes Old-School
Glenn Kenny, Special to MSN Movies
The first question people ask me when they learn I've seen the new "Winnie the Pooh" movie is, "So is it all CGI-ed and stuff?" And, most everybody will be happy to learn, no, it is not. The characters here are rendered and animated in the same style as in the 1960s Disney films of the beloved children's' classics, their designs having been adapted from Stephen Slesinger Inc.'s adaptations of the original book illustrations by Ernest H. Shepard. A great deal of care, it would seem, was taken in preserving the cute and homey feel of those cartoons, which were done in the flatter, somewhat limited animation style that was a great contrast to the elaborate work that distinguished Disney in its early feature-making years.
Search: More on Winnie the Pooh
Watch FilmFan: "Harry Potter" vs. "Winnie the Pooh"
This extends to the voice work. The new voice cast seems to have been chosen largely for its ability to simulate the tones of the actors in the older films; hence, Jim Cummings, doing both the title bear and the raucous Tigger, is a remarkable sound-alike for Sterling Holloway and Paul Winchell, the respective vocal originators of those characters. Even the great and hardly unknown John Cleese, not an indistinct vocal presence himself, goes to some lengths to sound like original narrator Sebastian Cabot. And he succeeds.
Which isn't to say that the film entirely ignores this modern world, or the advanced animation production techniques this modern world has to offer. There are a slew of new original songs in this brisk feature, tunes co-written by "Book of Mormon" co-creator Robert Lopez (parents, fear not: These songs are clean as a whistle) and sung by the princess of the new winsomeness, Zooey Deschanel. And while the animation all looks very hand-drawn -- down to the slightly irregular, almost pulsating lines that form Tigger, contributing much to that character's kinetic dynamism and reminding us how much this character must have inspired certain aspects of "Calvin and Hobbes" -- the film has a few set pieces that clearly must have benefited from some kind of cyber assist, most notably a charming and sticky sequence in which Pooh hallucinates swimming in honey. The storytelling's also niftily clever, showing the characters walking across the words that make up the storybook the audience is supposed to be "in," and at certain point using its letters to advance the action. After the noisome and incoherent "Meet the Robinsons," I wouldn't have imagined that co-directors Stephen Anderson and Don Hall had it in them, but working with a writing staff of more than a half-dozen others, they concoct something consistently lively and clever and engaging and lovely to look at.
This "Pooh" adapts -- or, I should say, extrapolates from, or takes great liberties with -- Chapter 5 of "The House at Pooh Corner," in which Christopher Robin leaves a note for his woodland friends misspelling the words "Back Soon," which leads the fake-erudite tall tale-telling Owl to make up a creature called the Backson. In the book, the Owl trails off after demurring as to whether Christopher's new friend is an Herbaceous or Spotted Backson, but in this film, using the chalkboard that's proving a poor substitute for Eeyore's missing tail (said tale being the engine that's been driving the story up to that point) he draws out an exciting, woodland-friends-frightening legend of a ferocious forest monster that, he leads all the others to believe, has kidnapped poor Christopher. (The sequence in which the Backson chases the lovable characters through the 100 Acre Wood is rendered in a lively and ultra-colorful simulation of a chalkboard-animation rendition of same, another particularly nifty instance of how the filmmakers change up the movie's look at specific points.)
The catch here for adults is that for all of its fun, "Winnie the Pooh" is still is very much a movie for children, as opposed to a movie for children that's ostensibly equally appreciable for adults, as so much Pixar fare tends to be. Unless you're unusually in touch with your inner child, or are some kind of animation freak (and this reviewer has been inclined to indulge that tendency over the years), there are going to be points while watching this when you're going to be very aware of taking one for the team, as it were. And if you're one of those folks who shares Dorothy Parker's famed low opinion of Pooh (her review of Milne's "Pooh Corner" contains the phrase "fwowed up"), you may want to make the film outing a task for your nanny, and just sit at home and drink your pain, you poor cynical heartless bastard you.
The version of the feature I saw was preceded by a very charming short called "The Legend of Nessie," a Scottish-set fable whose look harks back to the halcyon days of famed Disney designer and colorist Mary Blair, whose artwork graced such Disney classics as "Cinderella" and "Peter Pan" and who was behind that whole "It's a Small World" World's Fair thing. See, I wasn't kidding with that whole "animation freak" business.

i have a bunch of phlegm built up in the back of my throat.. i dont feel sick and yet my throat feels all congested. hm

Right now, I'm eating 5 slices of Wonder bread because I need to get my cals in for the day and we have no food in this house. I've decided I'm pulling an all nighter because I'm going to be without a car until about 2 p.m. tomorrow, and I need to get some groceries. The grocery store opens at 5, so only an hour and a half left. I'm thinking eggs, and maybe some deli turkey, whole wheat bread, cheerios.
deli turkey is worthless get ground beef, brown rice, and and some cheddar.. mix all that **** up and CHOW. you can also mix in broccoli
i think the throat congestion is that natty pb...

Mental stress and long hours can be as bad as starvation man. 12 hour shifts and still making time for lifting is very impressive. Keep after it, I know I've staggered and once you start it becomes so hard to regain your focus. Keep on your grind at work and in the gym and you'll keep producing the great results you have been for months now @ both.

thanks guys. feel pretty awful today... i slept like 10 hours last night.. throat hurts pretty nicely.. and i have to goto work. i hope to be out of there by like 3ish? who knows
bw is 176.4. even though there is still like no shift in bw, my face has filled out.. it was quite gaunt before but its normal looking now. i can feel it though.. its a pretty weird feeling and not easy to describe. im buckling down and getting strict with my food weighings starting today. the past week and a half has been "ok" but far from precise. extra half oz of beef and pasta here.. couple of pieces of pineapple there... heaping spoonfuls of natty pb etc (which i love. natty pb is the best)
feeling better this afternoon. i worked til like 2:30.. laid out for a bit.. i am definitely softer (fatter). how much of that is glycogen and how much is actually fat... who knows. i miss being REALLY lean already and i still have a defined 6 pack. ugh
I know the feeling. Although I don't have nearly as much muscle to show for it, I've been feeling a bit soft lately and it's not that great of a feeling haha, but then when I see my slightly-enlarged muscles I feel better about it. Good luck sorting things out bro.

You should take an extra day rest from the gym if you haven't already. Working out sucks when you have those problems with your throat. At least make the workouts quicker and shorter so you're not killing yourself in the gym. Sometimes you have to take these types of unplanned breaks.

theres no way i can lift tomorrow..... i am a wreck. i might be out for a couple of days here. but yeah i like the carb cycling setup.. and it allows me to eat some foods that i really miss more often. as always i'm unsure if i want to try and untested program.. but at this point its obvious that consistent levels of carbs are going to add fat, why not try carb cycling.. its the same average calories per week except theyre focused on lifting days with some tasty fatty stuff on non lifting days
i think the answer is no.. now that i have been very lean i dont want to be in any other condition. i'm going to try to suck it up and allow some fat gain.. probably up to like 195ish.. which i think is a realisitic weigh gain goal. thats 20lbs... however, on the plus side.. now i do know how to diet down very effectively when the time comes. i learned a ton on my last bulk and even more on this last cut.
I think your last bulk and cut helped you learn a lot, you sound very knowledgeable now with how everything has turned out over the course of the past year.
The Carb cycling program isn't untested, it's been followed by many others. I just am not sure if there are a lot of articles on it? There was a WBB article discussing carb cycling months back though. To me it makes sense, and it appears to make sense to you also. Carb cycling coupled with a certain caloric intake could net you great results. It just depends on how high your calories will be. I haven't been going beyond 3,000 calories except on my refeed days. Even when I carb cycled over a month ago I didn't up my calories drastically.

The next generation XF builds on the decade-long heritage of MOTIF. Sam Ash Direct has the guaranteed lowest price and fast free, shipping.
The Yamaha MOTIF XF 7 boasts a rich collection of instrument Voices that includes piano, EPs, strings, wind instruments, orchestral sounds, guitars, basses, and drums, as well as a wide variety of vintage and modern synth sounds. Of special note are the detailed digital re-creations of two Yamaha grand pianos (a 9' CFIII and a 7' S6). The reproduction in minute detail of even very subtle nuances results in exquisitely crafted piano Voices that will satisfy even the most demanding players.
New waveforms have been added to the MOTIF XF7, which now contains a huge total of 741 MB of waveforms. Starting with the S6 piano, the 136 newly added Voices include keyboard sounds such as those of clavinets and organs as well as a wide range of new sounds from orchestral to hip-hop. This huge internal wave memory ensures that the MOTIF XF is the best sounding and most versatile keyboard workstation right out of the box.
Yamaha's proprietary VCM (Virtual Circuitry Modeling) technology simulates the effects of vintage EQs, compressors, and phasers at the circuit level. This has enabled Yamaha to increase the MOTIF's instrument quality by modeling the "texture" of vintage analog compressors, EQs and stomp boxes right down to the component transistors and resistors. With the MOTIF XF, the high-quality effects found in our industry standard digital recording consoles are at your fingertips. Also, the MOTIF XF is equipped with vocoder effects. By connecting a microphone to the MOTIF's A/D input terminal, you can apply effects to your voice or use your own voice to create harmonies. The MOTIF XF 7 also includes the award-winning "REV-X" reverb, the same professionally renowned reverb found in the SPX2000.
You can use the arpeggiator to perform unique instrument phrases. By layering parts, you can give form to your composition ideas quickly. The MOTIF XF excels in both arpeggio quantity and quality. In addition to typical arpeggio patterns, the MOTIF XF also features simulations of acoustic instrument performances through the combination of arpeggios and the keyboard MegaVoices (example: video) and arpeggios in which synthesizer parameters, such as panning and filtering, are modulated in time MIDI clock. The MOTIF XF adds to the MOTIF XS's extensive library of arps and has an additional 1,248 synthesizer, drum, percussion, and ending arpeggios, for a total of 7,881 types of arpeggios.
The MOTIF XF 7 has 128MB of internal SD-RAM. This means that you can sample external audio without installing separately purchased memory. Using the sampling feature, you can load sample Voice libraries, import WAV files or add vocals, guitars and other acoustic instruments to your MOTIF sequences. You can connect a microphone to the A/D input and sample vocals Also, if you select the slice feature during sampling, even if you change the tempo of songs and patterns, recorded audio will follow the beat with perfect synchronization. You can process your recorded samples in minute detail to produce just the right sound using a redesign sample editing UI.

for(pos = 0; pos < 180; pos=pos+1)// dont think this needs to be here, but doesnt work without itHave you even been listening to what people have been telling you?
myservo.writeMicroseconds(1000); // tell servo to go to position at supersonic speed, cant change speed
myservo.writeMicroseconds(1000); // tell servo to go to position at supersonic speed, cant change speed
Didn't we cover the use of "pos" about thirty replies ago?
No wonder they're moving too fast.
(BTW milliseconds != microseconds)
Yep, was covered about 30 replies back, so took it out, then the code didn't work, so put it back. I think you forget how excruciatingly hard this is when you know literally NOTHING!!! If an explanation is written in total 100% english as if talking to a baby, then i understand it. Most explanations here have been given to me with the inclusion of other sh*t i don't understand. Its like teaching an English person how to say kiss my *ss in spanish, but explaining it to them in SPANISH. Even the things that seem mind numbingly simple to you look like this to me: kjuvdefyuvosadyubc oawyobds couadwvCYODSCVYOAEVDFOQWAV
Take this for example written by zoomkat:
"For further debugging, I added a line in the startup section of the code that prints out when starting the serial monitor. Note that when the serial monitor opens it should be indicating 9600 baud and no line ending in the lower right hand corner of the serial monitor. I tested the below code and when pin is connected to ground, the toggling is printing out to the serial monitor. I suggest you try the below code with the servos disconnected from the arduino, eliminating possible servo issues. "
First i have to look up wtf debugging means. Then i have to work out which the startup part is, is that void setup? void loop? Or is it something completely different?To you thats simple, but its not when you don't know how this stuff works..
Now whats a serial monitor? I'll go look that up too... done... 9600 baud... still hav e no idea what that means but i've just spent 30 minutes looking up the first few other things.
Now how will i know toggle is printing to serial monitor? What can i expect it to say? Will i just know when i look at it? Turns out it was quite simple when i got there.
If i ask any simple questions, i get the piss taken out of me, despite the rules saying if you don't understand something then ask. You lot seem to be totally oblivious to how bloody hard this is. You must have been born with a circuit in your mouth.
So have i listened? Avoiding the obvious sarcasm of being textual not audible, yes i have listened, i've listened to post after post explaining things in this fashion: "Have you tried kbqwdiuvbqidv? Or why don't you add jubhfcuhwebul to the i;wabcpuwbc while ;iduwbfviubwfuv.....?"
