Ducati testing at Jerez in November 2011
By Matthew Birt -
11 January 2012 16:02
Ducati technical guru Filippo Preziosi did a great job of revealing very little about the radical new GP12 Desmosedici that Valentino Rossi and Nicky Hayden will debut when winter testing kicks off at the Sepang track in Malaysia on January 31.
In a press conference that lasted close to an hour at Ducati's 2012 launch at the Madonna di Campiglio ski resort, Preziosi declined to reveal specific details of the changes to the new 1000cc machine.
He was repeatedly pressed on whether Ducati had narrowed the V-angle of its 90-degree four-cylinder motor to help solve a persistent front-end issue.But throughout he expertly dodged giving precise information.
What was confirmed as expected was the bike has been completely re-designed from the GP12 version Rossi assessed at Valencia in early November. And it will retain the conventional twin spar aluminium frame that Rossi used at the end of last season.
Although visually the bike that will be unveiled in Sepang will look almost identical to the spec used in Valencia, underneath the fairing is completely new, revealed Preziosi.
One of the key targets for this year's bike was to have more adjustments and set-up options, with last year's GP11 too restrictive before Ducati ditched its carbon fibre chassis, which used the engine as a stressed member.
The changes Rossi and Hayden could make last season were too limited, which restricted them from experimenting with a range of set-ups to improve the performance of the Desmosedici.
Preziosi said: "The main goal of this new bike is to have a range of adjustments based on what we have defined as the ideal target. Last year we were using the bike always on the more extreme end of the adjustment and this did not allow us to go where our riders desired or where it was necessary to be competitive. The new bike we are going to take to Sepang is going to start with a range of adjustments that are going to be in the centre of the range of possibilities for each adjustment. In other words, we're going to have a bike that's going to allow us to have many different set-ups. And that's where the difficult part is going to come, because of all the possible set-ups with the bikes, these bikes are extremely adjustable in many of their parameters.
"On this new bike to do this we had to re-design the entire bike. We change the chassis, the tank, and the seat support. We made some changes to the engine in terms of casting so that it can be hosted within the position we considerate it more suitable. The bike that you are going to see in Sepang¸ let's say from a visual point of view is very similar to the bike you have seen in Valencia because it's the bike with a perimeter-style frame in aluminium. So the fairing from an aesthetic point of view is very similar to the one you have already seen. However the commitment and the amount of work and the number of new components which are on the bike is much greater as against the difference which we had in Valencia."
When asked about the V-angle of the engine and whether it had been modified he joked: "I'm going to answer when someone is going to ask me what is the angle of Honda. So it will remain a secret. At times people have asked Ducati for information that others do not give. I've never heard anyone ask Honda what is the angle of the 1000cc engine? I've never heard Nakamato answer any such question."
The 90 degree V-angle is a Ducati tradition and asked again if there had been a change, Preziosi said: "We are the company that brought success with the twin cylinder engine in sports bikes in all of the championships. But when the regulations favour a four- cylinder engine we can race a four-cylinder engine with no problems in terms of our marketing position. So should we conclude technically and not from a marketing or managerial point of view, that one technical solution is better the other, we have shown in the past that we have problem abandoning one over another if it proves successful. So we'll use the angle that we consider best."

As i often say to my son,Casey,and my young daughter,Valentina,it`s what you do and not what you say, that really matter`s.Ofcourse, it`s better if the two thing`s bear some resemblance to each other ! And,let`s face it,pretty much every-thing you say, bear`s no resemlance to the reality of what has actually happened.You make Wosi look measured and almost normal ! I rest my case.

Your ridiculous hairy chest thumping on behalf of your idol and rather odd fetish for underwear and pooh stains etc does you no credit. Who do you think you are eitehr impressing or fooling with this abject nonsense? You come off like an absolute beetroot head and spittle sprayer - a wanker of the First Order.
I think you need to go to U-Tube and view John Cleese as the Black Knight versus King Arthur. This will help give you a perspective on just how infantile & empty your jumping up & down and raving really is.
C'mon Milky - its only a flesh wound! go for it, OK?

Stoner is Rossi beater
I'm so glad about this whole Rossi situation. The guy totally deserved everything what was happend to him in 2011. I remeber all his talks from 2007 to 2010, it's incrediblle how Stoner has maneged to stay on top especially because everything was against him. Bravo Casey! Stats from 2007 to 2011 proves enough, at least to me. Stoner is ahead of Rossi in everything, exept titles. If Stoner doesen't beat Rossi in 2012, Lorenzo will, or Pedrosa, or Spies...it doesen matter, he is finished.

Brooklyn, New Yo...
I originally wanted to make the Burda 02/2012 Tunic Dress, but I mistakenly purchased too little fabric. Then I bought this great patterned jersey knit, and because the pattern was very large, I once again, didn't have enough for the dress. So I decided to make the Tunic Top instead. It's not exactly what I envisioned, but I think it's fine as a casual top.
This was my second attempt at working with jersey knit, and sewing the front and back panels was much more difficult than I anticipated. I think I need to pick up some tricks in this area. I wish more of the Burda instructions included diagrams, like many traditional "hard copy" patterns. But I love so many of the patterns offered online!

Sep 20, 2012, 04.54 PMby Debbie Allingham
Hi – I'm making this right now (the dress version) and although 3 out of 4 panels have gone in really well, I've had a nightmare with one of them! You're right – it's not easy! My fabric doesn't help – it's a weight crepe jersey with a satin back – and it has a life of its own. I thought I'd see who else had made it and was comforted by the fact that you'd had problems too. Really annoyingly it's one of the front ones – after 4 attempts, I'm grudgingly leaving the little tuck at the right angle join, or I'm going to ruin my fabric. Maybe some crative thinking about how it might be disguised is in order! Your efforts were worth it – your top looks great!
Sep 21, 2012, 04.24 AMby liaifen
My mother suggested that I use tissue paper underneath the fabric next time to help stabilize the jersey (but I think it's sewing the curve that's so difficult here). She also said I could try sewing a simple stitch along the seam line (of the panel) before I try sewing it to the front piece. So basically, sewing on top of the stitch when I sew the pieces together. I haven't tried either techniques yet, but they may be worth a try. I'm in the middle of taking the online Sewing with Knits class on Craftsy. So far, some good tips. Good luck with your project – can't wait to see it posted!
Sep 21, 2012, 09.53 AMby Debbie Allingham
Thank you :) it's nearly done so I will post it soon, although that panel is annoying me! It's my first blunder in my return to sewing 9 months ago, so can't complain!
I think your mum was right re basting first – which would work if you snipped the inner and outer corners first.
Sep 9, 2012, 08.40 AMby Mary Athey
i love the tunic,great fabric and using the same fabric to binds a great touch x,
Sep 9, 2012, 12.35 PMby liaifen
thanks so much! i love this fabric too – if i knew to measure the print in the store, i would have been able to make a dress. even with this top, I had to cut off part of the print. it's too bad because i think the bold print would have made a great impact as a dress. always a learning process!

Tonight will be the first night in 12 days that I will be sleeping in my own bed, and I am SO HAPPY. Neely and I have had a fun 2 weeks, but I am glad to be home. Let me just say once again how BLESSED I am to have such a good toddler (it hurts my soul not to write baby anymore). This girl rode 26+ hours in the car and never once fussed. I am dividing my post into two, because otherwise there would be picture overload!
So, for the first part of our trip...
On Tuesday, Neely and I headed to Little Rock to stay with my aunt and uncle (can't believe I didn't get a picture of them) because we had Dora Explorer Live tickets for Wednesday morning. We met my friends Lea and Leah from Blytheville & their 2 girls Emerson and Anna Claire. Here we are waiting for Dora to begin. I was really unsure if Neely would enjoy it for 2 reasons--1. because she is so young and 2. because she rarely watches tv and has only seen Dora a couple of times. But, she seemed to love it. She sat on my lap and watched it for the entire show. AMAZING. I am positive that I have never seen her sit still for that long ever before! Here is Neely and Anna Claire. Anna Claire is the SWEETEST little girl.
Here is what Neely thinks about getting to the show early and having to wait!
Here is what Neely thinks about getting to the show early and having to wait!
After naptime, Neely and I decided to go explore at the Old Mill in North Little Rock. This was right around the corner from where my family lived and was the perfect place for Neely to run out her energy!
She loved climbing up all the stairs and over all the bridges.
She loved climbing up all the stairs and over all the bridges.
And it was absolutely beautiful. While we were there, a girl was getting her bridal pictures taken there.
On Thursday, we met my friend, Angela, from high school and her two boys at WonderPlace. Neely loved it. I so wish that we had something like this in NWA.
Neely shopping in the pretend grocery store.
Neely at the water table. I had to remind her over and over again that she couldn't dump the water on her head.
Still playing in the water table.
Making some art--that I forgot to pick up before we left. haha.
Here are Neely and Blake. He is SOOOO sweet.

Oh sure! But you're talking two different things here. It's not about the feeling or whether or not it makes 'sense', it's completely, totally, wholly my eye, which has been trained through various years of art courses and study here and there to pick up on things. I say 'Yup here is Rag, he's going down on account of we're level 80', my eye says 'Wow look at this amazing room. This amazing, awesome, room - say, it looks like there should be more people in here. Like look at that rock over there. 10 people could hide in front of it, and that one behind us, another 3 or 4 could nestle in that one and HEY there should be MORE PEOPLE IN HERE.'
Then my eye glares at me accusingly and I feel vaguely guilty for the rest of the day.

Residence is a tool that will allow you to protect any area of land (for a price) if you're not interested in joining a town. After setting up a residence your house/items will be protected from others. You may go further and prevent mobs or even players from entering - either by group or by playername.
Watch the video for a better visual, but you need to use the paper to mark two opposing corners of the area in need of protection. Then extend the selection to bedrock and sky:

Then create a name, and you'll be automatically charged a rate equal to the current price multiplied by the size of the region you're protecting:

Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day! On August 28, 1963 at the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, Mahalia Jackson (gospel singer and civil rights activist) was standing behind Dr. King while he was speaking to over 200,000 people from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. It is rumored that Jackson encouraged Dr. King to share his speech with the crowd. His I Have a Dream Speech was a defining moment in the struggle for civil rights.
And congratulations to President Barack Obama! In case you missed his speech, you can read the full transcript here (Huffington Post).

Question reblogged from Something that's very precious to me with 46 notes
Anonymous said: Crisscolfer: betrayal
Chris has felt betrayal a few times in his life. That's why when Darren betrays him, he's shocked and caught completely off guard by it.
Walking into his house after being gone a few days working, tossing his keys aside and shrugging out of his jacket, he picks up the mail that has accumulated since he's been gone. Flipping through letters and junk mail, the faint sounds of a guitar strings being strummed and humming heard, he smiles at knowing Darren is here waiting for him. Dropping the letters on a table, he turns to the living room.
"Dare!" he calls out as he gets closer.
"Oh, shit!" He gets slightly confused by Darren's reply. "Shit!" Hearing that, worry starts to settle in his chest.
"Dare?" he cautiously calls out.
"This is our secret," he hears Darren say to someone.
For a split second, Chris thinks the worse. He expects to find Darren and some guy he doesn't know disheveled and looking like they were caught in the throws of passion. But when he finally walks into the living room, he's surprised—and relieved—to find just Darren and Brian, who's sitting on the couch next to him.
"What's going on here?" He walks forward and sits down, confused when Brian doesn't even move to climb into his lap. Instead, he watches as he keeps his gaze on Darren.
"Nothing," Darren replies with a hint of guilt in his voice.
"Bri." Chris hmphs when Brian ignores him. He watches in interest, though, when he trots over to Darren. That he finds suspicious since he knows Brian and Darren get along enough to be nice to each other. He's never seen him willingly go to Darren.
Watching him go to Darren's back and start to paw there, purring, he gets more confused. "Dare?" he asks, raising an eyebrow.
"Oh, my God! He likes me!" Darren pretends to be shocked and excited, grinning wide; but Chris doesn't buy the act.
Scooting over and shoving his hands behind Darren's back, trying to reach for what Brian wants, he finds Darren fighting him. "Let me see what it is!"
"No! You'll hate me!"
"No, I wo—Aha! Got it!" Pulling his hand away, Chris is upset by what he holds. "I feel betrayed. This is betrayal. How could you? I told you not to."
"He kept scratching me. Like all over," Darren softly replies, showing Chris his cat-scratched arms. "And I tried eveyerthing. But then I remembered he liked chocolate muffins, and…We're friends now."
"Because you gave him what he shouldn't have." Chris looks at Brian and glares, pointing a finger at him. "I'm ashamed in you." He looks to Darren. "In both of you."
"I'm sorry," Darren apologizes. "I won't do it again."
"You better not." Chris smiles. "Now, kiss me because I've missed you."

Just a friendly reminder to not put your change in the red buckets this year!
"The Salvation Army doesn't believe that gays and lesbians should ever know the intimacy of any loving relationship, instead teaching that 'Christians whose sexual orientation is primarily or exclusively same-sex are called upon to embrace celibacy as a way of life.'" - (source)
"Salvation Army Major: LGBT People Should Be Put to Death" - (source)
"The Salvation Army openly says that 'practicing homosexuals' aren't welcome in their organization and they have lobbyists in D.C. and abroad who work to prevent gay rights legislation from being enacted." - (source)
"The Salvation Army does not only discriminate against gay and lesbian people, it also works politically against LGBT rights all over the world." - (source)
Spread the Word!
So while some of your nickels and pennies are going to hunger relief or "Christmas Assistance" just know that a large portion of your donation is going toward lobbying governments worldwide for anti-gay policies - including an attempt to make consensual gay sex illegal.
Thanks for your time! Please inform your friends and family, to help signal boost this message!

TEAMS: Chicago White Sox, Philadelphia Phillies, New York Mets
It is perhaps a sad commentary on the current state of the Mets and their almost non-existent production from the outfield, but I want to assure you that this post is NOT written tongue-in-cheek. I'm sure most Mets fans remember when Milledge was the highly-touted first-round Mets' draft pick who made a big splash in the major leagues after an impressive climb through the minors. Milledge seemed to have it all plus that special charisma that should have made him a star in New York. But it all seemed to fall apart rather quickly and soon Milledge was labeled as a self-centered, self-promoting rookie who "didn't know his place" and was shipped to Washington for what at the time seemed like an underwhelming package of Ryan Church and Brian Schneider. None of the principals in the trade really did much with their new teams and Milledge proved a disappointment everywhere he went from Washington to Pittsburgh to the White Sox.

by Ken LopezAlthough trial consultants prepare dozens of different types of exhibits that help judges and jurors understand a case, timelines are one of the oldest and most reliable. After all, most cases involve some sort of time sequence, and the order and timing of events can be crucial. Timelines give jurors an intuitive understanding of a case – if they are done well.While it seems simple to prepare a timeline, it is actually an art that requires practice and experience, just as any form of trial presentation would be. The following suggestions have worked well for our firm in over 10,000 cases since 1995:

God Digs Giant Robots: Let's Play Xenogears!
Shield Of Doom
[table of contents]
Sewer Levels: Because Regular Monotony Just Isn't Enough
As you'll remember,
Thick McRunfast asked us to go check out the sewers and see what's killing all his people. Unfortunately, said sewers aren't going to go away if I ignore them, so I might as well just get this over with.
Of course, I've also got a new character to discuss:
Character Analysis: Ricardo Banderas
HP: Highest
EP: Lowest
Attack: Very High
Defense: Very High
Ether: Lowest
EthDef: Lowest
Agility: 7
Weapon of choice: Fists
As you can plainly see,
Blast Hardcheese is pretty much entirely focused on physical attacks. As a result, he's rather divisive. Some players swear by him, some never use him when they don't have to, and others (like me) don't have any opinion one way or the other.
He comes with two Spirit abilities, both of which cost 2 EP. Steel Fist increases his Attack by 20%. Steel Body, meanwhile, is affected by the same bug that makes Hard Stars useless, so there's no reason to use it.
There's nothing I haven't already eaten in the cafeteria, so I don't bother.
When I enter the sewers, I see a green-tinted first-person view of something moving through them. Fortunately for us, it doesn't seem to care for my team at the moment.
Unfortunately for us, I still have to go through the worst dungeon in the entire game. The sewers look the same no matter where you are, so it's very easy to get lost if you don't have
a map
The enemies here are annoying in many ways. Armor Wasps take very little damage from physical attacks, so only Fei can fight them effectively. Acid Frogs can poison you, which isn't very threatening. Batrats can confuse you, which is. Rotten Sods are basically giant punching bags that can put you to sleep. Mullets are fish that spend the first turn in the water, where Fei's the only person on this team who can hit them. Lucre Bugs are hard to kill before they turn into Nolucre Bugs, which I think have worse rewards or something.
I can also fight some stronger Hobgobs, but they're still wimps.
The loot is all listed on the map I just linked, so I'll just note what the weird stuff does. The map is an actual ingame map of this place (without any of the treasure marked on it, of course). The Cool Shades prevent confusion, and the Gallant Belt raises the wearer's maximum HP by 10%. The Zetasol DX, of course, is an upgraded Zetasol, which revives you with all your HP.
Now, I'm supposed to be examining murder sites (the map I linked has them marked), all of which consist of bloodstains with green slime mixed in with them.
The first murder site I find has "Red monster" written on the wall, possibly in the victim's own blood ("In his blood? Way to go, kid!").
Buff Drinklots also notes some slime on a nearby pipe.
After climbing down the ladder on the west side, I see another first-person view. I then hear a bell, which
Crunch Slamchest notes a rumour about.
At the second murder site, Citan makes the connection between the slime and the murders, realizing that the slime is from the monster.
Fist Rockbone also notes that something smells burnt.
Oh yeah, one more thing I forgot to mention:
Stump Beefknob starts with just his first two Deathblows, making my job that much harder.
After a bit of searching, we find a mechanical rat remover with the keys to the sewer stuck in its engine. These particular keys belonged to the now-late Vargas, and will get us into the sewage treatment plant.
The green mark on the map, by the way, is a little alligator-thing called Gramps.
Once we reach the last murder site,
Smash Lampjaw mentions that the pipes we've been seeing connect to the sewage treatment plant. We also see another shot from the monster's POV.
For a quick laugh, do note that Citan is presently wearing Iron Mail, a Knight Helm, and the Cool Shades.
Eventually, we reach the door to the sewage treatment plant, where Fei fumbles with the lock for a bit. This takes long enough that the monster on the other side of the door leaves. After
Punch Rockgroin complains that we "should of" found it, I take the Bell Amulet.
Buck Plankchest suggests using it to lure the monster out of hiding, which is certainly an idea.
As we leave, Fei suggests using the bell at a drain with slime in it. However, it'll need to be one the monster hasn't actually used yet.
Please take note of the distance between the boss and the nearest save point.
When I examine the pipe I need to, I'm attacked by a random encounter due to poor programming. The party then walks through the stream of water from it, taking damage during the cutscene. Now you can probably tell why so many players have debated shooting themselves during this sequence.
So, we use the bell to lure the monster out, and I have to fight it. Redrum (for that is the name of this particular foe) can confuse or poison your characters, do a fire attack on everyone (which heals him because he absorbs fire), and is generally a pain. The most dangerous thing he can do, though, is his Murder attack, which steals all of the target's HP.
Yes, they gave the boss an attack that instantly kills you and does so through HP damage so even if you could protect yourself against instant death it wouldn't work.
Citan's on full-time heal duty for this fight, while Fei and
Stump Junkman smash the guy. Once he starts Murdering people, just keep hitting him, reviving as necessary.
Eventually, after being pummelled enough, Redrum goes down. During the subsequent levelling, Citan learns Fuuseii, which costs 4 EP and grants the target wind resistance and earth weakness for 10 turns. He'd also learn its counterparts for the other three elements, but you can only learn one Ether per battle so he'll have to wait a bit.
After the fight is done, Citan makes note of the monster's human-like intelligence. Fei and
Dirk Hardpec figure out the rest for themselves, and I'm fortunately taken back to the entrance without having to walk.
We then get to Citan, speaking with the Emperor again. Emperor Skullface asks if "he" has awoken, and Citan confirms it.
"Yes. Twice...no...three times to be exact."
Citan then asks if "the elders" had "him" moved here (wherever "here" is), and the Emperor states otherwise. They fear him, you see, and are planning a more...direct...disposal.
After they discuss a few more cryptic things, we cut to a Gebler battleship. Elly and her troops are being briefed about their mission to escort something called the Hecht. Elly asks what it's supposed to do, and gets a generic "that's classified" response. Not even the Hecht's crew will know until the last minute.
Elly's team complains about not knowing what they're supposed to do. Elly also notes that any normal purge would involve only one of the flying bombs they're using, but this one uses eight. Elly also refuses to take part in the actual purge, claiming that she'll only escort the Hecht as her orders claim.
Anyway, back to Fei.
Rip Steakface complains that we took too long, which Fei says was due to Citan burying the monster. He then says some generic stuff about how we'll be enemies when next we meet and such before leaving.
Well, I can save now, so that's it for this update. Next time, we'll hopefully see about getting those finals won.

Is all defense-boosting stuff in this game bugged?
FreezairForALimitedTime 16th Jul 11
There are a few that work properly, but plenty of them simply don't work. Just a side effect of the game's rushed status, I guess.

well the above will get you there but my apologies
is the correct link. cutting edge. and a long long time in development.
You actually think a total nieche game, (Everyone who likes being ganked and having all your items stolen say I!) from a developer who has never made a game before, who promises more things than the AoC dev team did ten times over, will be better than Warcraft? They haven't even got a public beta together and the reviews they post on the forums are a TOTAL joke.
There is no evidence that more than 1 in 10 of the features they promise even exists.
Guess what mon, chou gonna be reel disappointed mon.
Whenever someone mentioned darkfall - Duke Nukem always comes up in my mind: when ?
So far there are very little (if not none) evidence (just promises/hype) if it's going to kick ass.
Also - like the above poster mentioned: it's going to be a very niche game. I know for sure that the game's not for me - I'm a carebear who got real life commitments who could care less of getting gank'd everytime I log on.

The Cumberland County Commissioners closed Bishop Bridge to all traffic effective June 30, 2014 until funding becomes available to repair or replace the bridge. Repairs to the bridge are estimated at approximately $500,000. According to Cumberland County Planning Department, the shortest timeframe to reopen the bridge even if funding was available today would be nearly three years due to PennDOT and Corps of Engineer approvals. The timeframe for full replacement is in excess of $3 million and 5 years.
Cumberland County owns 28 bridges throughout the county. At least 12 of the 28 bridges are structurally deficient and in need of repair or replacement. Due to the limited vehicular traffic on Bishop Bridge, which is estimated at 145 trips per day, it is not high on the priority list for funding.

who is right, free will or determinism. ?
this is what i know ablout free will , that anything in this world can happen , there is always a free choice for events to occur.
and this is what i know about deterinism . that everything in this world is determined/ pre-planned and it can not be changed , events will occur as they have to .
with taking this knowledge into assumption , who is right free will or determinism.
lets put a hypothesis that determinism is right.
now in the end if we prove that determinism is wrong then the basic assumption contradicts with the result. so if you assume world to be deterministic , it wont allow you to be non-deterministic.
but lets just put a hypothesis that there is free-will in this world. that everything is possible. then if we conclude that the world is deteriministic , then our original assuption dont contradicts with our result. it means that free-will allows the world to be deterministic.
dont this proves free-will to be right?
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Mar 26 2012: I believe that free will cannot be uncoupled from the determinism that makes it possible. Here I see as in the case of 'cause and effect' the universality of the principle of complementarity. Our little everyday choices and big decisions create a kind of a field which predetermines our next choices and decisions: multiply it to the number of agents operating in the field and thousands of years of existence... and here we are. What you set as a cause comes to you as an effect and so goes on and on.
Mar 27 2012: i think our previous decisions cant be counted as deterministic , as they are originally done by us.
coz if it is so again my argument is valid that it will contradict itself.
also in your case free-will chose determinism ( as decisions made by us determiine other things. ) n as i showed above its valid. dont that proves free-will correct.?????
Mar 27 2012: Siddhesh !
I am afraid I can't help you here. You need certainty... either..or .., right or wrong. Maybe there is an answer but I don't know it.
And I am seriously doubting there is :)
For me the whole issue of freedom of choice and determinism goes into the melting pot.
Nothing is certain until it happens, but what happens should happen.

2 Minute Abs Workout…VIDEO

"Move out of the way kale chips, spinach chips are our new healthy snack addiction! but be careful, these Italian Herb Spinach Chips are addicting!"
(via the-sexylosers-club)
well I am finally back from a long time away from fitness and a healthy lifestyle. I have been out for so long due to having unexplained health issues that left me unable to do and enjoy the things I love. After many tests and many possibilities, they finally believe they have an answer for me. While I have a lot of things to work on, I'm ready to face this challenge head on. According to doctors they believe I have what is called Meniere's Disease. I live with constant ringing in my left ear which is very hard on my because I was born deaf in my right ear. So having only one good ear now victim to this disease has been a hard challenge in every day life. However I am a work in progress and am still trying to deal with things the best I can. I also suffer from random vertigo attacks that range from not too bad to horrendous and leave me on the floor in a pile of pain. Not knowing when one will strike is the worst part about it. I am to stick to a low-sodium diet and watch everything I drink/eat. I am just starting out on this journey and have a lot to learn yet. I am ready to begin a new healthy lifestyle that will only better me in every way and make me a strong person as each day passes. To start….get my workout on…T25 here I come…I will own you!
Yummy chicken salad dinner!

Is a "few" one (i.e. Jim Myers's dealer boat), or do we actually know of others? I haven't seen or heard of any others in LIS, RI, or Massachusetts.
There are a few in Newport, and soon the one in Vermont, but I think that's it.
Chuck Brown and Phip Hallowell have one too.

The Georgia Perimeter College Administrative Systems team provides frontline local support services and works together with external University System resources like, Information Technology Services (ITS) and the Shared Services Center, to support the ADP system.
The University System of Georgia has contracted with ADP (Automated Data Processing) for the Enterprise Human Resources and Time & Labor System. This system provides employees access to managing their personal information, reviewing select benefits, record time entries to log time worked, leave time taken and run the payroll processes. This model is designed to consolidate business functions throughout the University System of Georgia.
The services provided by the Enterprise Information Systems Administrative team focuses on the strategic goal that states: We will create and foster a culture of teamwork, leadership, quality service and continuous improvement. Services improve efficiency and effectiveness, reduce costs, promote knowledge sharing across the University System, and identify innovative services that address both system-wide and institutional needs.
Some local services provided are:
o Password Resets
o Security administration
o eTime support
o Issue resolution
If you have an issue or question that our team call help you with, please contact the Service Desk or call 678-891-3460 so we can have someone follow-up with you. You can also find additional information, training and job aids at www.gpc.edu/adp.
Upcoming major projects:
In 2008, one of the goals (#6) of the Board of Regents strategic plan called for achieving best-in-class efficiencies for our administrative support functions in the University System of Georgia. The Hackett Benchmarking study from June 2007 showed that the University System had opportunities to improve efficiencies. The follow-up Accenture study from January 2008 also recommended adopting a shared services approach.
The first step in improving efficiency and effectiveness for the University System of Georgia was to consolidate payroll services through a shared services strategy and the implementation of ADP. The next step in improving efficiency and effectiveness for the University System of Georgia is to centralize specific functions of Human Resources, Benefits and Payroll into the shared services best practices approach. The Shared Services team will be working with Georgia Perimeter College later this fall to move us into the first phase of the centralization effort.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I was thinking the Exact same thing earlier when i sent u all that picture. "TV.ign drops a review of the episode (they liked it), and the forums over at WorldofWar.net have an interesting theory: Cartman says it will take them "7 weeks, 5 days, 13 hours, and 20 minutes" to become uber enough to beat the bad guy, which, if you add it up from the time the episode aired on October 4th, puts the date at November 28th. Did Blizzard hide a BC release date hint in there? Of course, when Stan's dad shows up at the Best Buy, the price shown is $49.99, and we all know that's not true.'

4.5 Million Miles and Counting
When loading and unloading dangerous chemicals, he wears safety gear like rubber boots, chemical rain gear and rubber gloves.
Dieu credits the truck maintenance team at Equipment Mobile Service for helping keep him safe on the road. "They find things I don't even find sometimes," Dieu says. "They're exceptional."
Team Transport is also dedicated to safety, says Dieu. "If a truck isn't safe, they don't want you to leave the yard," he says. The company's mission statement begins with the words "safely serving our customers."
Dieu's wife Patsy says she doesn't worry about him because he never takes chances. "When he comes in at night, if there's something wrong, he wants it fixed," she says. "He does demand the good tires and equipment. He knows he's going from point A to point B, and he wants to make sure he gets there. I know if it wasn't up to par, he would say, 'I won't drive it.'"
Dieu says he learned everything he knows about trucking from his father, including how to care for his truck. "My dad always kept his truck clean, and he always appreciated his truck," he says. "So I appreciate my truck."
Even though his father sparked his interest in trucking, Dieu says his wife of almost 43 years is the one who keeps him going. "She has been a good supporter," Dieu says. "We've got five kids, and she more or less raised them."
He met Patsy when they were children and knew right away she was the one for him. "Believe it or not, I was walking across the O'Henry Street Bridge in Coquille," Dieu says. "She was in a cherry tree throwing cherries at me and singing that song, 'Georgie Porgie.' I said, 'I'm going to marry you one day!'"
He was about 12 years old then, and they started going together soon after. They married on May 28, 1960, and have lived in the same house for 43 years.
Dieu keeps photographs of his 12 grandchildren around him in his truck, and he plans to take them on a trip to Disneyland soon. He and his wife are members of the Coquille High School Bleacher Club, supporting the football program at the school where their five children went and now their grandchildren attend.
When he gets home from a run, the first thing he does is call his children and grandchildren. "When they're not home, he loves leaving messages on the answering machine for the grandkids," Patsy says.
Dieu tried bringing his wife along on his runs a few times. She enjoyed it, but Dieu had trouble keeping her awake. "I've got the sleeper, and she falls asleep on me all the time," he says.
Dieu's grandson Clayton Dieu loves to ride in his grandfather's International Eagle.
He takes his grandchildren for rides in the big rig sometimes, particularly his 11-year-old grandson, Dyllan, and 4-year-old grandson, Clayton.
"Clayton wants to be in that truck constantly," Patsy says. "He could go for hours in that truck if he had to."
Dieu would like the family tradition of truck driving to continue, but he doesn't know if any of the grandchildren's interest in trucks will hold.

NBA Power Rankings, Week 1: LeBron James and Miami Heat Start on Top
By 0 Comments|
The NBA season has finally arrived and West Coast Bias Sports is here to have a look at the NBA squads seeking a championship run while everybody is deadlocked at winless records.
Check out the preliminary rankings:
Last Week
The throwaway season will allow players like Thaddeus Young and Evan Turner to clock in a prominent amount of time in the rotation. The focal point of the offense will be on them with the underpowered squad.
|They are looking toward the future with defaulting the team's overall duties onto Eric Bledsoe, who is an adequate defender. Additionally, Marcin Gortat was flipped for Emeka Okafor and his expiring contract and a protected first round pick, so the immediate future for the Suns is mediocre, but the big picture looks solid.
Victor Oladipo has Rookie of the Year potential. He could potentially be a replacement for Jameer Nelson in the starting lineup and team up with Arron Afflalo in the backcourt, who provides energy on the defensive end.
With Paul Millsap and Al Jefferson on the outs, the reserve big men, Enes Kanter and Derrick Favors will get minutes to mesh together down low. The fruitful combination of those two can be a decent engine for the team.
|Al Jefferson will excel as the sole producer and focal point of the offense. His point and rebound numbers will increase substantially. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist and Kemba Walker are both better defenders than offensive players. Another season is what they need in order to get better.
Rajon Rondo could very well be out of action until February. Even with him on the squad, it is a very lackluster and poor rotation. However, it does have standouts. Marshon Brooks can produce numbers with the right amount of minutes, Jeff Green can be very reliable when needed and Brandon Bass is a player who one can go to war with in a meaningful, late-game situation.
|Carlos Delfino helps space the floor with his three point shooting, all the while Ersan Ilyaslova is a nice scorer who rebounds well. The addition of Gary Neal is also nice, but it is difficult to gauge what direction the team wants to go.
|Look for DeMarcus Cousins to have a big year. With Tyreke Evans on the outs, Cousins has officially taken the mantle as face of the franchise. His defense leaves something to be desired, however. They seem rather chaotic in terms of how pieces fit and it will be something Michael Malone will need to figure out.
|DeMar DeRozan will make a leap this season. He's overdue and has the talent to prove it. He was mediocre last season with his shot selection, just like Rudy Gay. Gay shot poorly last season and look for him to be dealt before the trade deadline.
|Kobe Bryant will miss the season opener. The team needs to focus down low on Pau Gasol and Chris Kaman. They can't afford to get dry on offense when their defense is among the worst in the league.
Jeff Teague and Lou Williams make up a really small backcourt. On top of that small forward Kyle Korver is undersized in his position as well. Millsap is a definite improvement above Josh Smith. Al Horford and Millsap will be stingy down in the post.
The team finds itself looking at Kenneth Faried and Javale McGee for the defensive load, but they're only average. Danilo Gallinari will miss the majority of the season as well, so the team is not in a good place.
Monta Ellis can be a capable scorer but his shot selection leaves a lot to be desired. Jose Calderon is decent at his position as well. Dirk Nowitzki will really have to gun it out with personnel that is lackluster.
|Trail Blazers
The team is filled with scoring guards on the bench. Damian Lillard is a solid facilitator alongside Wesley Matthews, who can really defend well. LaMarcus Aldridge is also very versatile in his play. He benefits teaming with Robin Lopez near the rim. Lopez is a post up player while Aldridge has good mid-range aim.
It's difficult to judge an offense where the primary players need the ball at all times. Jrue Holiday, Tyreke Evans and Eric Gordon are absolutely going to have some pre-game talks in order to determine how that will work out. The beauty of it is that they all need the ball, but they all also differ in their offensive games. If it works out, this New Orleans team, along with Anthony Davis, will give the new-look Pelicans relevancy.
|Kyrie Irving and Dion Waiters will be a scoring duo; akin to Bradley Beal and John Wall. The only thing that will truly dictate the fate of the team is Andrew Bynum. His health means everything on this team. His production will determine if this team bottoms out or make a playoff push.
Adding Gortat to a team that was already on the brink of making the playoffs helps things. The Washington Wizards are suddenly poised to be a guaranteed sixth seed in an Eastern Conference that is ripe for the picking. Beal and Wall are both going to show tremendous growth this season. Beal can shoot the ball well, and Wall is an energetic distributor.
Andre Drummond and Greg Monroe are an imposing presence around the basket. What really works is that Josh Smith likes to lurk around mid-range, so it fits. Brandon Jennings is also a decent shooter who will be ready at any given night.
If healthy, the combination of Kevin Love, Ricky Rubio and Nikola Pekovic can be dynamic. If healthy. Something that has long eluded Minnesota. Two shooters in Chase Budinger and Kevin Martin perfect compliment the team's structure as well. Stay healthy.
The addition of Andrea Bargnani provides some interesting rotation possibilities. Carmelo Anthony is better suited at the power forward position, but it will be interesting to see how beneficial a frontline of Tyson Chandler and Bargnani, while Carmelo fills the small forward slot. J.R. Smith and Iman Shumpert can also briefly cycle around as shooting guards.
All the pieces fit well. with the key aspect being the bench, featuring players like Andrei Kirilenko and Jason Terry who benefit in short spurts. The production of Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce hinges on controlled minutes and age. If that pans out, they can be very dangerous.
They have an excellent power forward and center rotation in Zach Randolph, Marc Gasol and Ed Davis. The issue is that the rest of the bench is decent, but not reliable. Mike Miller constantly has nagging injuries and Tayshaun Prince is really going to have to will himself to have another productive season.
With Russell Westbrook out for a few weeks, Kevin Durant will shoulder the load. Kevin Martin provided 18 points a night for this team, and ended up splitting without anything in return for the team. There simply is no reliable scorer for this team besides Durant. It could get rocky.
James Harden and Dwight Howard will be a dynamic duo in Houston. The floor will be spread in order to give the likes of Chandler Parsons or Patrick Beverly some open looks, all the while Howard can set himself into position down low for commanding presence.
Derrick Rose looks fantastic. There's no denying it, he's attacking the basket with the same tenacity before his injury. Joakim Noah and Carlos Boozer still compliment one another down low, and Jimmy Butler will replace Luol Deng, who will be traded before the deadline. The team looks ready for the Eastern Conference.
Stephen Curry lights it up on any given night. In addition to that, Klay Thompson and Curry can benefit from Harrison Barnes and Andrew Bogut providing hard screens in order for a quick pick and pop design. How will Barnes and Iguodala juggle the forward position slot, however? Can they play together at the same time?
Jared Dudley and J.J. Redick are efficient shooters from beyond the arc. The Clippers will be more grounded with head coach Doc Rivers. This team is set to be revitalized. DeAndre Jordan and Blake Griffin still need that extra lift in their games. They have both been bullied when playing defense, so some growth is needed for these two.
Unchanged from last season, the only addition to the team was Marco Belinelli. He is a marksman three-point shooter who can definitely fit in Gregg Popovich's rotation. All they need to do is get over the mental nightmares that they have from the NBA Finals.
Paul George will definitely take that next step toward one of the best forwards in the league. He finishes at the basket and shoots the three at a decent consistency. Roy Hibbert also showed significant growth last season, and it is looking to translate into this season.
Greg Oden is looking decent, which is good news for Heat fans. Dwyane Wade could be on the down spiral after an injury plagued season last year however. LeBron James and company looked strong in their preseason outings, so the defending champions should be on the same pace they were last season.

Verizon Communications Inc. forecasts higher revenues, margins in 2014
New York, NY, United States (4E) – Verizon Communications Inc., which recently took full control of Verizon Wireless, said on Monday that it predicts revenue and margins to increase in 2014 and revealed plans to form a new product development unit.
On Friday, the phone company completed a $130bn deal to purchase the 45 percent stake of Vodafone Group PLC in Verizon Wireless, which is expected to boost adjusted per-share earnings by 10 percent.
The company expects revenue to climb 4 percent this year, matching analysts' estimates in a survey by Thomson Reuters. Verizon also said its wireless and wireline business segments are expected to see higher adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization margins.
Verizon also said it is creating a unit for product development and management aimed for faster product development across all the company's platforms. The organization will be headed by former Verizon Wireless Chief Operating Officer Marni Walden.
Last week, Chief Executive Lowell McAdam sent an internal memo to employees saying that there will be changes within the company in the coming weeks.
In January, Verizon said it posted a profit in the fourth quarter driven by a rise of the number of subscribers for its wireless and FiOS services.

Is An 8-Hour Block of Sleep a Modern Invention?
From the time we are babies, we are encouraged to consolidate our sleep into one big chunk - ideally 8 hours. But this hasn't always been the case. Records from the 17th century describe a different sleep pattern: two four-hour segments with an hour or two in between spent reading, meditating or socializing with bedfellows (wink, wink).
As someone who struggles with nighttime wakeups and insomnia, I was intrigued and somewhat heartened to think about this. Most people have adapted to a longer 8-hour(ish) sleep time, but those of us who haven't aren't physiological oddities, but just doing what comes naturally.
The transition from a "first" and "second sleep" to one, longer period of sleep may be tied to cities lighting their streets at night thereby extending the number of productive hours one could have outside the home. Lounging around in between these two sleep periods may have become looked upon as wasteful or lazy. Some sleep researchers believe that this restful period in between sleeps was helpful to regulate stress which is quite a contrast to the anxiety many modern insomniacs feel lying awake at night.

Interesting. Could this be why I wake up (and toss/turn) for an hour almost *every* night, and always between 2 and 3 am??
I read that people used to sleep 10-11 hours a night before modern times.
Yes, some say we slept more hours each night before electric lighting became common. Some also say we slept even more hours each night than that before use of fire became common. Some even say those changes have caused major medical problems. There are corrective actions you can take if that concerns you, including reading more about it in a book called Lights Out.
@Zeusz - not much, it has to do with the home and how we live in it.
There's an interesting book called "The Head Trip" byJeff Warren, and in it he tests this out by going to his family's cabin in the dark woods and living without lights. He tests a lot of other things, too. Good book.
Great article. I need about 10 hours of sleep to function properly (without being tired all day). And I love naps. I have been made fun of almost all my life. When I tell people that the "6-8 hour" sleep cycle isn't normal, but was invented to fit our "9-5" lifestyles, I get mocked. I know our sleeping patterns have been set to coincide with modern standards of whats acceptable, fearing that we will be called lazy because we need a nap after lunch after waking up at 6am. To each his own! If you can function on 5 hours of sleep, don't berate me because I need 10!
@ZEUSZ, not everything on this site is design-related. Some articles give tips on doing your laundry or on getting along with your neighbors.
AT's mission: "Helping people make their homes more beautiful, organized and healthy by connecting them to a wealth of resources, ideas and community online."
@MrsBerg: I completely agree! I need about 9 hours of sleep to function properly -- I also work at home, so 9-5 just doesn't work for me. And when I have had to work 9-5 jobs, I've ended up dragging myself around. We're all different, people need to celebrate that rather than turning their noses up at it!
Happily looking forward to the day when I can sleep partly late at night and partly in the afternoon, if left to my own devices this is always the pattern I fall into and it's the only time I feel really rested and fresh. I like experiencing the early dawn and the evening, and I feel uneasy or sluggish in the wee hours and late afternoon.
Things that make you go, "hmmm". Thanks for this!
My hubby sleeps 5 hours per night & functions fine on that. I need a good, solid 9+ hours. We're quite the odd couple. When I was high school, I needed 10+ hours and would regularly fall asleep on the way home from dates. My boyfriend (now husband) would have to carry me in the house when we got back to my parents' house!
My friend from Spain said that, where she'd lived long ago, everything shut down for a long afternoon siesta, then stayed open until 8, and after that every one had dinner and stayed up much later than here. It sounded refreshing.
BTW, some commenters might benefit from a sleep lab test for sleep apnea, which my husband has.
many cultures have a siesta. others[mostly agrarian] focus meals on breakfast and lunch - fueling& rest for the kind of work to be performed. sleep schedules for most revolve around work schedules, child care needs, climate, season, etc. AT helps in terms of home design so that the bedroom can be a serene place, away from the rest of activities in the home, and black out curtains are great too. I have an ever changing job schedule due to shift work and a quiet dark bedroom where i can sleep all day if I have to pull night shift is invaluable. Keeping an open mind about what works for you, what doesnt and how to work around the challenges of daily life is a collaborative process facilitated here - one of the reasons I love it.
my sleep pattern is weird: if i sleep 4-5 hours a night, i wake up fresh and happy, with the feeling that i already was nearly awake when the alarm went off. this is because i have been in REM-phase, waking up in this phase you will feel good and awake. my energy and awakeness stays all day.
if i sleep 6-9 hours, the alarm wakes me from the deepest sleep phase, i feel extremely tired and confused, and fall into kind of a coma if i don't set a few other alarms after that. my weakness stays all day, i feel tired and down until evening, when i kind of wake up again a bit.
i sleep with the iphone-app SleepCycle (0,99 $ in the appstore, more information on http://www.sleepcycle.com), but you can get similar apps for other smartphones and there are also real clocks or wristbands that work with sleeping phases. "since you move differently in bed during the different phases, the Sleep Cycle alarm clock is able to use the accelerometer in your iPhone to monitor your movement and determine which sleep phase you are in. Sleep Cycle then uses a 30 minute alarm window that ends at your set alarm time and wakes you in your lightest sleep phase.)
but i have to set the alarm window very short, max. 5 hours of sleep, otherwise my sleep feels BETTER when SleepCycle wakes me, but not as PERFECT as after 5 hours.
On an international work trip some years ago, I fell into a pattern of waking for 8 hours, sleeping for 4 (I was not even away for one week, it wasn't worth adjusting my internal body clock). I have to say, it was the easiest pattern I've been in. If only work didn't get in the way nowadays!

Description: Seeing as our lovable Nathan B simply adores being man-handled by bigger guys I thought is only right to let him have some more fun - especially when Danny R entered the frame and joined our stable of hot studs! I mean, it didn't take a "eureka" moment to know this was going to be an absolute humdinger of a hot, lusty, sex session and man, these guys sure did enjoy themselves before, during, and after the cameras were rolling ;-) Immediately there's passionate kissing and licking as they peeled away their shirts and searched each other's chests with their hungry finger tips.
