Slab-faced national treasure of the Id run amok Congressman Jim Bridenstine (R- benghazi! Benghazi! BENGHAZI!!1!, the perversion of the Boy Scouts, IRS, and the White House spying on Fox News) has introduced legislation to require the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to "prioritize weather-related activities, including the provision of improved weather data, forecasts, and warnings for the protection of life and property and the enhancement of the national economy" over researching the effects of Climate Change.
The legislation passed the House, by the way, just two days after the UN report that warned of increased famine, war, and poverty from unmitigated carbon emissions.

|Lundin Fellowship allows selected Honors students to spend the summer in Marquette for research opportunities
Sarah Lauinger, Senior Art and Design Honors Student from Holly, Michigan, is one of four recipients of the 2014 Rich and Anna Lundin Summer Research Fellowship. This $5,000 award provides Honors Students with the unique opportunity to spend a summer in Marquette while pursuing a research project with the guidance of a faculty mentor.
"As an art major, one doesn't necessarily consider working on their art as research," Sarah explained. "However, after being encouraged by my friends in the Honors Program to apply for the Lundin Fellowship, I decided to go for it. Now, I am spending my summer in Marquette, enjoying the scenery and happenings as well as doing what I love best, making art. My research, more so a creative work, focuses on replicating realistic textures in a computer environment. In short, I am working on creating a miniature, animated forest scene. This project gives me a chance to better my skills and learn more about the field I am going into (animation), as well as giving me an edge with my newfound knowledge as I start my fourth and final year at NMU. I ultimately plan to go to graduate school and one day work for a company such as Pixar, Blue Sky Studios, or Dreamworks to be a part of making movies that inspire people of all ages to think creatively and dream. I want to thank the Lundin family for giving me this generous opportunity to learn and grow toward my goal."
The Lundin Fellowship is open to Honors students enrolled in upper-level coursework, commonly in the summer prior to entering their final year as an undergraduate student.

Food & Wine JULY 2011
Preheat the broiler and position a rack in the center of the oven. In a large bowl, using a whisk or a handheld electric mixer, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the salt and one-fourth of the beaten egg whites. Fold the yolk mixture into the remaining beaten whites until no streaks remain.
In an 8-inch ovenproof skillet, melt the butter. Scrape the omelet mixture into the skillet and shake gently to evenly distribute the eggs. Sprinkle the cheese all over and transfer the skillet to the oven. Broil the omelet for about 3 minutes, until lightly browned and very puffy. Carefully slide the omelet onto a plate, folding it in half. Serve right away.

1. Get a clean start.
Make sure your kitchen is in shape before guests arrive. Take out the trash, putting fresh liners in your cans with newspaper at the bottom to soak up grease and liquids. Wash any pots and pans you used preparing appetizers, and run the dishwasher and empty it. Not only will your kitchen look good for guests, but you'll have tackled half the cleanup before things even start.
2. Serve less-mess foods.
Multi-course meals will keep you stuck in the kitchen, plus create piles of dishes. "Stick to bite-sized, grab-as-you-go foods," says Seri Kertzner of Little Miss Party Planner. "People will pop them into their mouths and continue to mingle, giving little opportunity to make a mess." Serve items you can make in advance. Avoid create-your-own stations, like taco bars, or offering lots of sauces or dips that can leave a big mess.
3. Avoid fussy dinnerware.
"Parties are meant to be fun and festive, so no one expects you to break out your china," says Michelle Meadows of Firefly Events Nashville. Opt for dishwasher-friendly dishes and glassware. Choose stemless glasses that are less likely to tip and easier to clean. If you're hosting 20 or more guests, consider using biodegradable, disposable plates and fun plastic glassware that you can recycle.
4. Set yourself up for success.
Make it easy for people to leave their dirty dishes all in one spot by discretely placing an empty tray on a small table. If you're using disposables, place a small pail near the bar. Put away any decor that is hard to clean, like light-colored throw rugs or pillows that show grease stains. Place coasters on tables for guests' drinks and make space for their plates.
5. Stock a smarter bar.
Limit options but not the fun. Skip serving lots of sticky mixers and dark-colored wines or liquors, which can create tough-to-clean stains. Serve white wine, a sparkling option like Prosecco, beer, and a fun signature drink that you can premix. If you're set on a festive punch, place the bowl in a non-carpeted space away from high-traffic areas.
6. Keep guests wrangled.
Don't let the party spread, otherwise you'll spend all night hunting down half-empty wine glasses and dirty dishes. Keep doors locked or spaces decoratively blocked off to encourage company from wandering. Set up the party where you know guests will feel most comfortable.
7. Have helpful cleaning tools nearby.
Keep a spritz bottle with cool water and a clean cloth in the kitchen to catch spills before they set, and have portable stain removers, like Shout Wipes or Tide to Go, handy, recommends Carolyn Forte, Director of Home Appliances and Cleaning Products at the Good Housekeeping Research Institute. Keep a hand vacuum or small dustpan and broom nearby to pick up dropped food before it gets crushed into the carpet.
8. But don't clean too much during the party.
"Cleaning up while guests are there makes them uncomfortable," says Jill Donenfeld, co-author of Party Like a Culinista. "Plus, you should be having fun, too." Enlist others help to keep things neat while the party happens — your spouse or an older child can help round up glasses and dishes.
9. When it's over, focus on the essentials.
Avoid disappearing into the kitchen until all of your guests have left. "Once they do, get to it," says Josie Gordon, co-author of Party Like a Culinista. "You'll only feel less inspired to clean after watching television for an hour with that hot toddy." First, pick up food and drinks, so kids or pets don't get into them. Pre-treat stains on linens and toss them into the washing machine to soak overnight, recommends Forte. Use plastic baggies to store leftovers instead of searching for containers and matching lids. Rinse off plates and stack them if the dishwasher is full. Gather up as much as possible in one spot to make final cleanup easier in the morning.

"It's unconscionable for a mayor who has found creative ways to create new bike lanes, a bike share program, lure white collar jobs and massive investment to the loop and gold coast — but blames Springfield and teachers for CPS's budget crisis— to layoff over 3,000 educators in the nation's third largest school district. This is the same politician who spent a year of his life calling for a longer school day who is allowing draconian budget cuts to undermine a better day for our students. That's a lack of leadership, a lack of creativity and a lack of political willingness to call upon his deep ties to the financial community to address the needs of children. The CEO and the mayor are making excuses not improvements."
CHICAGO – Today, the Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) released the following statement regarding Friday's intended layoffs of nearly 2,100 more Chicago Public School (CPS) employees, most of whom are veteran teachers, teacher assistants, clerks, technology coordinators, instructional aides, lunchroom workers and security guards. Since May, the district has removed over 3,500 educators from their jobs:
"Once again, CPS has lied to parents, employees and the public about keeping the new school-based budget cuts away from the classroom," Lewis said. "On Friday, CPS will reportedly lay off 1,074 teachers, 451 paraprofessionals and 550 other employees, on top of the nearly 850 professionals who lost their positions in June and the 550 probationary appointed teachers (PATs) and 22 Title I teachers who were laid off in May. The loss of these workers will have a direct impact on the quality of instruction offered in our schools under the imposed 'longer school day.' These cuts are unnecessary and shameful for a system that prides itself on providing a high-quality education for our students.
"It is equally shameful that as CPS slashes school budgets, they have not offered one sound recommendation to resolve their "budget crisis" other than attacking teachers, closing schools, disrupting communities and vilifying parents. CPS can generate new revenue by closing corporate loopholes, engaging the banks about toxic swaps, re-examining the city's TIF program, and supporting a financial transaction tax which could put billions of dollars back into our schools. Once, again the most vulnerable children are going to receive the least. This will impact every single student in our district.
"This also says much about the district's much-touted, but poorly executed, "Longer School Day," program which they have recently branded as a "fuller day." How can a "full day" function without the appropriate staffing and funding levels and when schools that lack books, toilet paper and other necessities? These cuts will surely increase class sizes. What we have now is the 'empty day.'
"While the mayor is busy making multi-million dollar stadium deals and the Illinois General Assembly is playing volleyball with workers' lives, our students are the ones suffering.
"Finally, the CTU has obtained a CPS PowerPoint presentation that instructs principals on the school-based budgeting process. Ironically, in this document our segments our schools as "winners and losers," as principals are instructed to trim a minimum of 4 percent from their budgets. Why is this school district describing any of our schools in these terms? What game are they playing with the education of our students and the careers of its employees? Who does CPS define as a "winner," and who does it define as the "loser," and why?
"As the CTU continues to lobby the Board of Education to restore these jobs, remarkably CPS refuses to agree to a hiring freeze. It makes no sense to hire new people as the district lays off veteran teachers, paraprofessionals and clinicians, many of whom have excellent and superior ratings.
"We were told employees can expect calls from their principals early Friday. In the meantime, our members can check our website for updates as we continue to advocate for the schools our students deserve," Lewis said.
The Nation's Rick Perlstein however is optimistic about the Chicago Teachers Union's pushback.The Windy City is is undergoing a tumultuous historical moment, with the uprising of the Chicago Teachers Union occurring alongside the ongoing restructuring and privatization of the Chicago Public Schools system.
Most recently, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel oversaw the closing of 50 public schools, many of which will be replaced by charter schools. A bulk of the 550 laid-off teachers will be replaced by Teach for America contractors, many of whom teach in charter schools.
"Statewide enrollment in charter schools has surged from 6,152 students in 2000 to 54,054 this school year — with most of them in Chicago — according to the Illinois State Board of Education," an April Chicago Tribune editorial explained. "The first charter school in Illinois opened in 1996. Now there are 132 campuses operating under 58 charters."
A thus-far underreported story of the retooling of CPS concerns a foundation close the epicenter of it all: the Joyce Foundation.
Joyce is a major liberal foundation. President Barack Obama sat on its board of directors from 1994 to 2002, as did Valerie Jarrett, his former senior advisor and assistant to the president for intergovernmental affairs and public engagement .
A look at major organizations dedicated to restructuring U.S. education turns up a slew of current and former upper-level Joyce staff and board members.
Between 1995 and 2012, the Joyce Foundation spent $135.58 million on education reform.
"They're really in bed now with conservative elements nationwide," said Mike Klonsky, a Chicago public schools activist and professor at DePaul University, in an interview with Mint Press News. "Anything that has to do with corporate-style school reform, you'll probably see Joyce's name in it."
The progressive tribes have been gathering in Chicago with force, efficiency, creativity, trust and solidarity, building a bona fide, citywide protest culture. And it's working. Days before these marches, Mayor Emanuel, who has been talked up in some circles as possibly the first Jewish president, told the Chicago Sun-Times, "I am not running for higher office—ever." This purring protest infrastructure is one of the major reasons why.
To many national observers, this rebirth of the city's militant protest culture seemingly came out of nowhere. But it didn't. It's the product of years of organizing from sources both expected and surprising. And while the radicalized CTU under the leadership of Karen Lewis has deservedly received much of the credit, the teachers union is just the current tip of the spear in a long and potentially transformative movement.
It's not hard to see that the so-called education "reformers" are doing little to actually advance schools and are using education as another venue for their boardroom antics.
New Schools for Chicago formerly known as the Renaissance Schools Fund is a non-profit corporation that seeks to advance "school choice" in Chicago, which is a nice way of saying "selling schools to private contractors." The Board of Directors of New Schools for Chicago is largely comprised of captains of industry, with a few exceptions, namely Chicago Public Schools CEO Barbara Byrd-Bennett, Chicago Board of Education President David Vitale, and newly appointed member of the School Board Deborah Quazzo. Clare Munana, a past member of the Board of Education also sits on the New Schools Board as well as two people who have privatized charter schools named after them, John Rowe, Chairman and CEO of Exelon and Bruce Rauner, gubernatorial hopeful whose sole agenda is busting Unions, specifically teachers unions.
And who is the major obstacle to this trickery? According to historian Rick Perlstein at The Nation:
The CTU beat Rahm in a historic strike this past September and hasn't stopped fighting austerity and privatization since.
CTU President Karen Lewis and CTU Quest Center's Lynn Cherkasky-Davis discuss recruiting a diverse teaching force with Chicago Public Schools' Joe Moriarty, Elizabeth Hassel, and Alicia Winckler.

Honoring the 1963 Chicago School Boycott
7:30 pm
Hyde Park Union Church
Join us as we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the 1963 Chicago School Boycott, the largest civil rights protest in Chicago history.
In 1963 an estimated 200,000 to 250,000 students stayed out of school to protest segregation and inequality. As momentum builds in the contemporary struggle against inequality in education, we are wise to pause and reflect on the lessons from this critical historical moment.
On Thursday, July 11 we honor this history and consider its implications for the present with a fun and inspiring evening that includes:
- A screening of clips from an upcoming documentary, '63 Boycott (take a look at some original footage of the marchhttp://youtu.be/FYiofrghC4c).
- A performance of Shades of Mississippi, an interactive theater experience of freedom songs, speeches and testimonies based on the July 20, 1963 mass meeting where the direct action campaign to desegregate Chicago's public schools was launched (for a sneak peak of the performance, check out this video http://youtu.be/5gaZRERaM5w).
- A question and answer session with a teacher, community activist, parent and student from the 1963 boycott as well as a contemporary education justice activist.
Honoring the 1963 Chicago School Boycott is the opening event for Free Minds, Free People, a national conference on education for liberation. Register today (www.fmfp.org)!
Date: Thursday, July 11, 2013
Time: 7:30 pm

CHICAGO—Members of Chicago's religious communities are expected to join faith leaders of all denominations for Prayer Vigil for Our Schools, a day-long prayer vigil Wednesday, May 15, at Chicago Public Schools, 125 S. Clark Street. The vigil will unite congregations from across the city in prayer in advance of the May 22 meeting of the Chicago Board of Education on the proposed closing of 53 elementary schools and one high school program by the mayor's office and CPS. The proposal—the largest school action in U.S. history—would impact the lives of nearly 50,000 students and their families, and further disrupt communities long destabilized by crime, foreclosure and unemployment.
Prayer Vigil for Our Schools comes days before the "Our City, Our Schools, Our Voice," three-day march May 18-20 on the South and West sides to protest school closings. Thousands of parents, students, teachers, clergy, citizens and community leaders will walk each day past many of the 54 school communities slated for closure, ending in a mass demonstration in Daley Plaza.
"We must be strong in our fight and vigilant in our faith as the Board vote approaches—a decision that will affect thousands of students and families, as well as thousands of city and school employees," said CTU President Karen Lewis.
WHO: Reportedly, more than 20 members of the clergy and members of their congregations and Chicago's religious communities
WHAT: Prayer vigil or "pray in" for Chicago's public schools and against school closings
WHEN: Wednesday, May 15
WHERE: Chicago Public Schools
WHY: To pray for all of Chicago's students and families; for those who make the decision to close our schools; for alderman and legislative leaders to stand with our students in support of a moratorium on school closings and legislation to elect a representative school board; for student safety; and for the strength and salvation of the citizens of Chicago and for our communities.

An Ever-Present Help1 Reviews
Is there such a thing as 'an ever-present help in time of trouble'?
Author's Notes: This is a moment-in-time Susan ficlet. It isn't meant to give a fully comprehensive summary of the entire story of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, but is simply the introspection of one girl on a dark night.
Wherever you are, help will come to you.
She lay awake that night, hearing the words in her mind, running mental fingers over them much as she had curled her real hands around the ivory bow and horn. Trying to decide if she believed it was a harder task that one might imagine; but there it was, the insistent doubt of a practical mind.
Impossible, she scolded firmly. Surely there will be someday, some time, when no one will come to the sound of a silly horn. But a whisper in her heart, something that felt a little like an unexpected summer sea breeze and sounded a lot like her sister, brought up images of other "impossible" things.
Talking creatures.
A wood inside a wardrobe.
Father Christmas.
Edmund, safe and sound and... changed. Peace in his eyes now; mercy, and understanding.
Oh, Aslan.
She remembered the Wolf's corpse and how heavily it had fallen on Peter. She remembered, though she was sure she hadn't actually heard it, the sound of Aslan's voice calling out -- commanding -- "It is your sister's horn!" as if everyone would know what that meant. And apparently, they had.
Something that was rapidly fading from her mind, melting like the enchanted snows with Aslan's spring of hope, reminded her of a lady in a faraway city, strange and foreign to her now, and she fought to name the figure in her memory. Sorrow seemed to enshroud the woman, and Susan remembered the feeling of growing up too fast, of fighting to be brave and strong and step into shoes too big for her. Shoes that belonged to that strange, nameless woman.
With a jolt, the word flashed into her head and she blinked. How could she ever have forgotten...?
The word father was right on its heels and she saw clearly why she did not believe the magic of the horn was infallible. Things happened, wars were fought, and there was nothing that could be done about it. Sometimes help did not arrive in the nick of time; sometimes the bad guys won.
She frowned and clutched her bow tightly to her chest, burrowing deeply into the blankets that covered her though the night was mild, moreso by the hour. The Witch's magic had come undone, but Susan couldn't help feeling there was more to come. Her fingers brushed over the feathered tips of the arrow fletchings, bright red against her ivory flesh, and she looked at the horn where it hung on the wall by her bed.
Hope was a dangerous thing. Hoping for things like a war's end and a father's return and a mother who smiled again could drive one mad. She wondered if she hadn't truly stumbled into insanity and was now living in her mind in a world of Talking Beasts and wise, gentle Lions.
But then she remembered the whispers of a war, of watching her brothers train at swordplay from horseback, of aiming her bright arrows at canvas targets, and knew it wasn't her mind she was living in. Her world would have no war. No war, no Witches, and no Wolves.
She heard Lucy sigh and shift in her restless sleep -- the poor girl hadn't been sleeping as soundly for the past two nights -- and made up her mind to go to sleep herself. No good lying awake wondering about things that couldn't be helped.
Drifting off was easier than she'd thought -- physical exertion during the day could outdraw even the most active of minds sometimes -- but a few hours later, when Lucy shook her awake and they walked through a forest that was somehow chilled even in the gorgeous night, her mind flickered through all the things she'd almost forgotten. And when she clasped her sister close to her, her eyes still filled with the downward swing of a white hand and a stone knife, and the upward gush and spurt of blood like her own heart bursting, she remembered the horn hanging from the wall of her tent and thought bitterly of its promised magic, and tried with all her heart not to feel betrayed.
Her help was tied down a Stone Table and her horn was out of reach. Why hadn't she thought to bring it with her? As she buried her face in Lucy's hair, squeezing her eyes tightly shut against her own tears and fighting to be strong for her sister, she wondered if she or the Lion had failed the worst.

Transfering files from windows.old to public folder, odd issue
I was transfering files from my C:\Windows.old\Users\Public to my new \\PATRICK-DESKTOP\Users\Public folder. I noticed the transfer was going to take like 20 minutes and this didn't seem right to me. I canceled the transfer and instead transfered the files to C:\Users\Public to see if it made a difference, and in fact it almost instantly transfered the files over?
So what is going on here, aren't these locations are both the same thing? Why was it taking a long to to transfer when it was going to \\PATRICK-DESKTOP\Users\Public?
Is it actually sending the data over the network in order to locate the \\PATRICK-DESKTOP\Users\Public share and then just coming back over the network and therefor becoming a network transfer instead of a local transfer?

Yes. That's right. What you said is correct.
For local transfer always give the directory path instead of UNC path.
For local transfer, the files are copied from one folder to another folder as a normal copy.
For network transfer, the files are copied over the TCP/IP protocol which sends the files as packets even though it is within the same machine. This has attributed for the delay in copying the files.

My girlfriend is amazing. Skateboarding is what i do best.
The difference between the building at the beginning versus the building at the end is stressing me out.
Like, how long were they gone? I mean, really. The plaster is gone from the building, that ivy has covered the entire upper part of the building, including the windows. The slope on the side of road is gone and filled in. The trees have filled in overhead.

CEO Home
Hugh Ralston was appointed the third President & CEO of the Ventura County Community Foundation in July 2003, when the foundation's assets were $32 million; total assets recently closed at $131 million. VCCF's core competencies include stewarding donor legacies, teaching nonprofit leadership and investing in the future of the region. In addition to donor advised and designated funds, agency endowments, scholarship and field of interest funds, VCCF includes the Martin V. and Martha K. Smith Foundation as well as the Women's Legacy Fund, Destino: The Hispanic Legacy Fund, the Heritage Fund, the Farmworker Housing Fund, the Special and Urgent Needs (SUN) Fund, the Community Response Fund, the Scholarship Fund for Ventura County, and the Ventura County Veterans Fund. VCCF has distributed over $9.6 million in scholarships to over 3700 students, increasing its annual program ten fold over the past decade. VCCF has been re-certified in compliance with national standards by the Council on Foundations, the highest form of accreditation in philanthropy.
VCCF dedicated its new VCCF Nonprofit Center in April 2013, a new 53,500 sq. ft. facility for 15 nonprofit tenants in centrally located Camarillo. Now fully leased to 15 local nonprofits, the Center provides community rooms for meetings, a dedicated grassroots office space and expanded facilities for its Center for Nonprofit Leadership, which touched 850+ local nonprofits last year through workshops, convenings, technology classes and online access to information. Its capital campaign received a significant boost with a program related investments from the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation.
VCCF also serves as the fiscal agent for Ventura County Together, a 40+ public and nonprofit collaboration focused on expanding basic needs services to local residents, as well as supports the Ventura County Civic Alliance, which recently unveiled the third of its State of the Region Reports. VCCF also hosts the Social Justice Fund, a donor advised fund at VCCF established by donors investing in social change. Other collaborative partnerships in recent years includes the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation' Partners in Nursing's Future, the Irvine Foundation's Communities Advancing the Arts (ArtsLIVE in Ventura County), the California Endowment's Focus Funders (which included Destino as one of seven grantees), and the emerging 2020 Youth Initiative, which is exploring ways to help non college bound youth transition successfully to adulthood.
A former international, corporate and private banker for 16 years with Security Pacific and J.P. Morgan, Mr. Ralston also has extensive experience in nonprofits, including four years as the Executive Director of the Catholic Education Foundation in Los Angeles. He has over twenty years of service as a director/trustee for organizations that have included the Los Angeles Master Chorale, the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, the Research Institute at Childrens' Hospital Los Angeles, Southern California Grantmakers, KDB Radio as well as volunteer leadership roles at The Huntington Library and the Autry Museum of Western Heritage. He is currently a member of the board of trustees of the San Francisco Theological Seminary, Scripps College in Claremont, California (where he chairs the audit committee), the Star in Education Foundation and the Community Arts Music Association of Santa Barbara. He also serves on the board of the League of California Community Foundations, where he served as its first treasurer, and is president of the board of directors of the Community Foundations National Standards Board, a support organization of the Council on Foundations. He was also appointed to the Ventura County Workforce Investment Board by the Board of Supervisors, where he chairs the Resource Planning Committee, and serves as vice chair of the Community Commission of Ventura County.
He also serves on the Ventura chapter of the Ag Futures Alliance, a collaborative body dedicated to serving the region's agricultural resources. Mr. Ralston is familiar with the history of Ventura County, as his grandfather was a Sunkist lemon grower for over 40 years, primarily in the Oxnard Valley. Mr. Ralston remains a third generation partner in the family's businesses, based in Santa Barbara county.
Mr. Ralston is an ordained elder in the Presbyterian Church USA and a member of several service organizations, including the Rotary Club of Los Angeles (LA5). He has a BA cum laude from Amherst College and a MALD from The Fletcher School of Law & Diplomacy, a joint program of Tufts and Harvard universities, with concentrations in international law and US diplomatic history; he passed his orals with distinction.
He is also an accomplished choral singer, participating on several other international tours with the Mastersingers USA, including the 2003 Ireland/UK tour during which the Mastersingers won the male choral competition at the International Eisteddfod in Llangollen, Wales. He has sung with the Quire of Voyces, as a soloist at the First Presbyterian Church, both in Santa Barbara, and been active with the Berkshire Choral Festival and in the Tallis Scholars Summer School in Seattle, Washington. He currently sings with the Los Robles Master Chorale, a regional choir that performs in Ventura and Los Angeles counties. He made his debut this past summer at the Hollywood Bowl under maestro Michael Tilson Thomas, singing with the Los Angeles Master Chorale.

Yeah, Sargeras was my first thought when it comes to WoW's end boss.
However knowing the dev team he'll probably be the final boss on normal, but on heroic we'll have to fight the supreme old god that we find had corrupted his soul or something. And it will have the face of GC, but made entirely of fire and feasting on QQ.
And then when we get its health to 20% it switches to its second form: Hogger. Yes the ultimate evil in the universe has been with us all along, but its not the same old Hogger that was just toying with our corpses. No. this is the super-powerful that was shown at Blizzcon.

Eating Disorders make your hair fall out
In an earlier post, I talked about how eating disorders affect dental hygiene. Although I didn't mean to make eating disorders seem like a shallow way to "look good", I might've come across that way to some readers. I apologize. I only meant to assume (you know what they say when you assume…) that people care about their appearance. Well, warning: I'm going to assume that again here.
Just like eating disorders affect dental hygiene, they cause vitamin and mineral deficiencies, which result in hair loss. Hair loss. (Here's where I'm going to assume) I don't think I look my best or anywhere near it with patches of my hair falling out. I know that eating disorders are far more complicated than simply wanting to be attractive, but typically people do want to be attractive and premature balding isn't in vogue quite yet.
Okay, but seriously, it's called malnutrition. By either restricting food intake and limiting calories or purging, the body can't absorb and utilize the nutrients and vitamins in food. Without those nutrients and vitamins, hair falls out; nails become brittle; even vital organs fail.
If you've already started to notice these things, please contact a doctor. Eating disorders pose very serious health risks and, no matter who you are, you deserve a healthy and fulfilling life.

Eating disorders ruin your teeth?
I'm going to assume something here: in general, we all want to look good. Right? If we didn't want to look good, we wouldn't starve ourselves, or anything else like that. Going along with looking good, teeth are pretty important. You see an attractive member of the opposite sex, you make eye contact, he/she approaches you, you smile, and BAM – your teeth tell your life story. Okay, now I know your teeth don't actually say anything about childhood memories or previous relationships, but they are a decent indicator of hygiene: whether you care to brush once, twice, or not at all per day, whether you obsessively whiten, and whether or not you throw up after every meal. Harsh, but eating disorders can do a number on your pearly whites.
Dental.net/dental-nutrition/eating-disorders/ goes into detail about tooth erosion and halitosis due to purging as well as other majorly unattractive symptoms.
It also talks about treatment options, noting that those with eating disorders "explain their circumstances to their dentist" to ensure dental hygiene. Since a dentist is a medical professional, don't be afraid to request confidentiality if you tell him about your condition. The most important thing is that you get help and, as hard as it is to understand, your eating disorder is destroying your body.
xo, Evelyn

Anonymous said: So I used to be bulimic. Well, I sort of still am, but I've been able to control my purges really well lately. I haven't done it in a while. Anyway, I've been noticing my hair has been starting to fall out, and it's starting to worry me. Is that normal for someone who has/had an ED? And is there something I can do about it? I value my hair a lot; it's the ONLY thing I like about myself. .__.
Yes, it is extremely common for people who suffer from an ED. In fact, it's one of the most common side effects. There is really nothing you can do about it, besides push yourself to recover. If you have recovered, and see it's still happening, there are vitamins you can take, like fish oil vitamins. But, these vitamins will have no affect if you continue to hurt your body. Your hair will continue to fall out and be dull before you know it, and you really don't want that!
Good luck! <3
xo, Katy

Remember when Willy Wonka let the kids try out some lickable wallpaper? Well, it only took 40 or so years, but someone finally made lickable wallpaper for real! English chef Heston Blumenthal and artist Damien Hirst created a wallpaper that supposedly tastes just like Jaffa Cakes. And they installed it in an elevator -- an "edible lift," if you will.
Oh I have so many questions about this wallpaper! Don't you? First of all, who gets to lick it? What about sharing germs? Do I really want to re-lick a licked spot? Where can I find this wallpaper? And what the hell are Jaffa Cakes?
Okay, gross things first: You will be relieved to learn that the "cake stickers" are removed from the wallpaper immediately after being licked. This is not a communicable disease and public health experiment. Secondly, this wallpaper exists far, far away in an office in London. It was open to the public as part of a design competition, which means a man dressed as a bumblebee, several dogs, and some "Mad Men" all got to have a lick.
More from The Stir: Yum! Edible Greeting Cards and 5 Other Things I Wish We Could Eat
So there's that. And now, Jaffa Cakes: These are cookie-shaped sponge cakes with orange jelly filling and covered in chocolate. Yum. Want some.
Anyway, if lickable wallpaper never finds its way to the shelves of Crate & Barrel, it'll be a damn shame and a true sign of our lack of imagination. Too silly? Too impractical? Let me just remind you what Willy Wonka once said: "We are the music makers. And we are the dreamers of dreams."
If you could have edible wallpaper, what flavors would you want?
Image via Jaffa Cakes/Facebook
Interesting!! I would want a berry or watermelon or BBQ one!
Am I the only one weirded out at the thought of licking something a stranger could have just licked 5 minutes ago?
So gross.
I could never.. gross lol
my first thought...YUCK! lol i'll pass on the lickable wallpaper...
I wouldn't even have it in my own bedroom, where presumably no one would be licking it that I didn't know really well. But an elevator??? Just the thought makes me want to reach for the Listerine.

Revealed in 1980, the 208 GTB (and is spider version 208 GTS) features the smallest V8 engine used by Ferrari by that time. The 208 GTB replaced the 308 GTB and stayed into production until 1982, with 160 examples produced, in both right and left drive versions.
The car was designed by Pininfarina and featured a pronounced wedge profile, with a rectangular egg-crate aluminum radiator grille below a slim full width satin black front bumper. A square section indent line ran along each body side between the front and rear bumpers, which was finished in satin black whatever the main body color.
The doors featured scalloped intakes to the engine bay, the right one feeding the carburettor filter box, and the left one the oil cooler. At the rear there were twin circular light assemblies on the vertical recessed tail panel. A single piece lid hinged at the roof covered the engine bay and rear sited boot, whilst the vertical concave rear screen was bounded by buttressed sail panels. Options available were wider 7.5" rims, air conditioning, a radio, a deeper front spoiler, plus Michelin TRX or Pirelli P Zero tyres on special rims.

Actually, it doesn't return the same amount of mana. If you were clever about how you applied VT and used downranked DoTs and flay, you could chain up mana-positive rotations on mobs. Pre-3.0.2 I'd take 3 of the Wretched Fiend/Devouers in Q'D Isle on at once and be close to 100% mana once I was done.
The thing is, before downranking was removed you could do a lot with VT, now you can't. In fact casting VT+MB now will always cost more mana than you get back from Replenishment, even if you are a level 80 Spriest in 25-man epics. It is a group utility spell, it isn't there to replenish your own mana. If you want to replenish your own mana while casting, unfortunately your two choices are:
1. buy up Imp Spirit Tap and crit a lot (RNG dependant)
2. buy up Meditation in Discipline (lose Shadow points)
3. stop casting and wand (cruddy DPS for a DPS-only spec)
4. pop Dispersion (stop DPS for a DPS-only spec)
or.. secret option #5, reroll a ret pally since even with the 'nerfs' they can, with mixed epics, blues & greens, put out more damage than an epicced-out Spriest in 3.0.2 while dropping their mana bar no lower than 85%.

Written by Andrew Dornon
Karl Rove, former chief advisor to President George W. Bush, publicly criticized Republican presidential nominee John McCain's political ethics. Rove's comments were specifically aimed at the truthfulness of several negative ads targeting Democratic nominee Barack Obama. He said that McCain had "gone one step too far, and sort of attributing to Obama things that are, you know, beyond the 100 percent truth test." As of yet, no one has ascertained when Rove came up with this test, but all are sure that it has only recently been implemented.
A few words on Karl Rove: He is on the fast track to Catholic sainthood. Recently, by Papal decree, he was moved ahead of Mother Teresa on the to-be-saint list.
When it comes to politics, if there's one man whose every word I take as fact, it's Karl Rove. Fact or really well conceived and devious fiction.
The Iraq War, for example, is based on lies concocted by Rove and others, a great story of American justice and ideals of liberty. Sure, maybe he had a hand in stealing the 2000 presidential election not only from the Democrats but also from John McCain. Rove asserted that McCain had fathered an illegitimate black child.
Well, illegitimate or adopted from Bangladesh. Same thing, right? Perhaps he did threaten Republican senators who wanted to investigate the legality of Bush administration wiretapping. But, I think all of this finger pointing is missing the bigger picture. Karl Rove's deceit has always been for the greater good.
Cataloging all of the benevolent acts that Rove has performed throughout his life would be next to impossible. This is my meager attempt at the highlights of his career.
One of the least known about positions Rove held was that he was a paid consultant to Philip Morris, one of the largest tobacco companies in America, for five years. The tobacco industry had fallen on hard times in the media and needed Rove's advice to help improve their image.
Rove's actions here demonstrate his devotion to an American tradition. The tobacco industry is a tried and true American success story. An industry built on hard work, good business practices and getting kids hooked. Rove assisted this tobacco giant in propagating its product into the consciousness of American society as one of traditional values, while downplaying the fact that cigarettes kill their consumers with a regularity that could be called, well, traditional.
A pervasive theme of Rove's political exploits is honesty.
A countless number of times, he has been implicated in leaking confidential information to the press. While some might portray these acts as disloyal or even treasonous, obviously they are merely testaments to his belief that honesty is the best policy, sometimes.
One of the more notable examples was the Valerie Plame affair. Here in his noble effort toward the truth, Rove revealed the identity of an undercover CIA operative to a journalist in an effort to legitimize false information regarding Iraq's potential to have or to gain weapons of mass destruction. For those failing to see the righteousness in putting someone's life in danger in order to credit your own agenda, let me clarify that Rove knew for a fact that the Iraq War was morally justified and absolutely necessary. Not to mention, a good idea.
In the vein of Rovian honesty, Karl Rove has been implicated in all genocides worldwide since his birth. Rove regularly kills small children who espouse liberal views. He also assassinated John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King. All of these actions have been for the neoconservative greater good.
So when this man questions your integrity, you might want to reconsider your entire life. Certainly, McCain needs to reconsider his self-proclaimed "Straight-Talk Express" campaign slogan.
If you're being called out on your truthfulness by a man such as Karl Rove, then perhaps it's to time to throw in the towel, or in McCain's case, die.

Levanto is a pretty coastal town, located within the Liguria region of north-western Italy. Often considered to be the gateway to the popular 'Cinque Terre' National Park, the town is ideally located for travellers wishing to explore this dramatic section of coastline within the Italian Riviera. Due to the town's convenient location, it has become a popular draw for visitors. To cater for the steady influx of local and international tourists, visitors will discover that there is a good selection of rental accommodation available here on a self catering basis, to include apartments, quaint old cottages and villas.
Having originally grown from the ancient Roman settlement of Ceula, visitors looking to spend their holidays in Levanto will find that there are numerous historical sites and landmarks reflecting the town's long history. The majority of these can be found within the town's well preserved historical centre, where there are numerous brightly painted villas lining its winding cobbled streets and piazzas, or squares. The 13th century mediaeval church which is to be found within the main square, the Piazza della Loggia, is a particularly popular draw. In complete contrast to all the historical attractions to be found within Levanto, the town also boasts a long, sandy beach, which is ideal for bathing, relaxing and enjoying water sports.
As well as offering visitors plenty of attractions and amenities within the town itself, Levanto is conveniently located for visiting the numerous other towns and cities to be found within the region of Italy. The region's capital, Genoa, with its many museums, galleries and great shopping opportunities is a mere 30 or so miles away to the north west. The Tuscan city of Pisa, with its iconic leaning tower and myriad architecturally and culturally fascinating landmarks and buildings, is just an hour's drive in the opposite direction.
Visitors intending to spend their holidays in Levanto will be pleased to discover that the town, as with the majority of Liguria, enjoys a warm Mediterranean climate. Summers are warm and generally dry, with temperatures often reaching the late 20s to early 30s degrees Celsius. Winters in Levanto are milder, with temperatures averaging around 13 degrees Celsius. The average annual rainfall is around 18 inches, the majority of which will fall in the winter and autumn months.
Visitors looking to spend their holidays in Levanto may either fly to Genoa Cristoforo Colombo Airport (GOA) or Pisa Galileo Galilei Airport (PSA). They will find that more airlines operate more regular flights form regional UK airports to Pisa. These airlines include British Airways, Ryanair and Jet2.com, departing from such airports as London Gatwick (LGW), London Stansted (STN), Manchester (MAN) and Bristol (BRS).

Racing fans on either side of the Atlantic may be familiar with the name Mike Coughlan. The controversial engineer was at the heart of the Spygate scandal between the McLaren and Ferrari teams a few years back and was subsequently ejected from Formula One. While he was waiting for his banishment to expire, he came over to the U.S. where he was working for Michael Waltrip Racing in NASCAR. But as soon as his sentence was up, he was back in F1 with the Williams team. Trouble is, his contract with Waltrip wasn't quite up yet.
As a result, MWR launched a lawsuit against Williams – oddly not against Coughlan, though – for poaching their employee. At the time, we said we doubted we'd heard the last of the case, but it seems we may have now as the parties have reportedly settled out of court.
The details of the ostensibly amicable settlement haven't been released, but whatever they arrived at has apparently left both teams happy to have closed the matter. In fact, Waltrip has even invited Williams to a NASCAR race as their guest, something the aging team leader is apparently excited to observe for the first time. All's well that ends well, then.

When buying a vehicle from an auto dealer, there are many options available to the consumer. Here we will provide information on how the sales tax applies to the different transactions that may occur.
A lease is any transfer of the possession or control of tangible personal property for a fixed or indefinite term, for consideration. Leases include future options to purchase or extend, and agreements where the amount of consideration may be increased or decreased by reference to the amount realized upon the sale or disposition of the property.
The link below will take you to a memo drafted by the Ohio Department of Taxation explaining how leases of motor vehicles are taxed.
Leasing Memo
Sales made in Ohio to a non-resident of Ohio that will be immediately removed from this state are generally exempt from Ohio sales tax. Sales of motor vehicles that will be immediately removed to Arizona, California, Florida, Indiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, and South Carolina are the only sales that are the exception to this rule. Please see the Information Release for details.
The below chart can be used for a quick guide on how to calculate sales tax for these states:
Sales Tax Rate
Trade-In Allowance
Special Provisions
Yes –New and Used
Yes- New and Used
Yes-New and Used
Nonresident exemption for RVs and trailers with a load capacity of at least 2200 pounds
South Carolina
Tax cap of $300.00
The Ohio Department of Taxation has compiled a list of frequently asked questions covering many different categories.
To view the questions, click on the "Select Category" bar and then click on the category you are interested in. A list of questions will appear pertaining to that category. Then click on the question you are inquiring about and the answer will appear.
If a motor vehicle dealer accepts cash down payments, must the motor vehicle dealer charge sales tax when the vehicle is to be leased? If yes, how is the tax paid?
Cash down payments are subject to the sales tax.
Prior to Feb. 1, 2002, if a down payment was collected by the leasing dealer, the leasing dealer would also collect the sales tax. The leasing dealer would then remit the tax to the State of Ohio, like any other sales tax payment.
If a down payment is paid to the motor vehicle dealer, the motor vehicle dealer will also collect the sales tax and either remit it directly to the State of Ohio on the dealer's transient sales tax return or forward it to the leasing dealer so that the leasing dealer can remit it to the State of Ohio.
Note: In either of these situations, tax is not remitted to Clerks of Courts because the motor vehicle will be titled in the leasing company's name under the "Resale - leasing" exemption.
As of Feb. 1, 2002, the dealer collects the cash down payment as part of the price paid for the lease of the motor vehicle, watercraft or outboard motor. It is charged at the rate in the lessee's county of residence, and remitted to the State of Ohio on the dealer's transient vendor's license.

Comments about Royal Pedic Latex Quilt-Top Beds:
Do not buy Royal Pedic. I purchased three of their mattresses unfortunately and regret it. The customer service is horrible, the mattresses are uncomfortable and the pricing is not consistent. If you do buy, make sure you are getting the correct price and not being overcharged. You would think a company that sells to Presidents would have more integrity.

Lots of people are drawn to the luscious looks of fresh fruit at farmer's markets. But did you know vegetables give you more bang for your buck? They sure do! So here are some expert tips for buying great veggies and making them last once you get back home.
When he's not traveling the country for his TV show "Good Food America," Chef Nathan Lyon loves shopping for fresh produce at his favorite farmer's market in Hollywood, California.
"As far as price point, fresh vegetables are going to be less expensive than fresh fruit," Nathan explains. "They hold up a lot better. You can't throw fresh peaches in a cardboard box and drive it four hours like you can with, say, potatoes or carrots. So when you want to save some money and get lots of flavor, fresh vegetables are where you'll find it." When you get carrots at the farmer's market, you want to rip off the top portion, because the carrot doesn't know it's out of the ground and will keep growing. But you do want all the sugar to stay in the carrot, so Nathan says you should tear off the greens and store them in the crisper drawer. It should last about 2 ½ to 3 weeks.What about beets? Fresh beets. Nathan says, "Don't tear off the greens. Don't let them take it home. You take it home. You pay a lot of money for these in a restaurant, so you'll tear them off, soak them and you saute them really quickly with fresh thyme, salt and pepper and a little olive oil. The whole thing costs less than $2.00."
Sometimes you can wind up with more vegetables than you can use right away.
"Homemade stock. That's the answer," says Nathan. "When you go in the grocery store, the pre-made stock has artificial colors; it has a lot of sugar. Why even have that when there's already plenty of flavor here? You'll take onions, celery, carrots, some fresh herbs. Cook it down for about five hours and you'll have plenty of fresh stock that stores in the freezer. You'll have it all year long!"

Mounted police losing in budget battle across the nation
The cuts reflect a trend that has been growing in recent years
By Jeff Martin
Police on horseback, a tradition that dates to the 1800s in some cities, are increasingly falling victim to budget cuts as cities struggle to maintain basic police services.
Mounted police units in cities including San Diego, Portland, Ore., and Clarksville, Tenn., have begun the process of disbanding this year. Units in Boston and Tulsa were eliminated last year.

I saw this film when it was new in the early 50's.
I was in high school, a day pupil at a convent school in Corpus Christi, Texas. I have no idea what the Legion of Decency thought of it but I was startled by it then and I've always remembered it. It was way over my head then but I sure knew something scary, adult and interesting was happening on the screen.

this is a cross between a film noir and a character study of the pressures of being a celebrity and it still is provocative and origonal on all counts ,
The smouldering atmosphere ,the ugliness of the show business,the mockery of the writer's profession is as relevant today ,
Bogart gives a solid,brilliant portrayal as a deluded,disillusioned intellectual craving for love ,while Grahame is looking for security as the archetypal smart blode starlet,
they virtually clash in a titanic show on screen with their distrust of each other despite a fragile love shared between their sceptical minds ,
Ray goes for a realistic approach to create a dark classic which makes present day interpretations of the golden age of hollywood look like a mere spoof ,this is cinema at it's subtle,psychologically fascinating best but still extremely powerful with great acting by the whole cast .
The desperation of the characters is so powerful it almost oozes from the screen and keeps you spellbound ,a rather bizarre but memorable exploration of the american dream by the sceptics and the desperate and yet totally convincing and very entertaining as well, do not miss this -i loved every moment of this materpiece .

Open Source Electric Cars, Good Idea or Not?
thecarchik (1520545) writes | more than 2 years ago1
thecarchik (1520545) writes "Many are keen on the concept of open source electric cars --that is, electric cars where the built-in software can be tweaked, parameters can be changed, and in theory, the cars can be improved. Only it's a really, really bad idea.
If a car has been designed to do its job, but an open source system lets people tweak it, what happens when the car shuts down in the middle of the highway and causes a pile-up? Or decides one day that it won't open any of the doors for you?
Even carmakers themselves have trouble with software--Fisker has issued a recall and apology recently with its Karma --so allowing average Joe to tweak the car's inner workings seems like a bad idea. Changing the characteristics of an electric car isn't as simple as re-jetting the carbs or swopping out the air filter.."

WASHINGTON (AP) — A former Army soldier accused of trying to provide support to a terrorist organization in Somalia is asking for his case to be dismissed because he says he never had any contact with the group.
A lawyer for Craig Baxam of Laurel, Md., filed a motion Monday in federal court arguing that prosecutors would need to prove that he coordinated his plans with the terrorist group al-Shabab. The attorney says prosecutors haven't shown that Baxam communicated with the group.
Baxam served as an intelligence analyst in the Army from 2007 to 2011 and converted to Islam shortly before leaving the Army. He is accused of leaving for Somalia in late 2011 with the intention of joining al-Shabab. He was stopped in Kenya before reaching Somalia and questioned by the FBI.

Regardless of the type of birth experience you have envisioned, we strongly recommend that you educate yourself on the type of anesthesia available during labor and delivery. No two women experience childbirth in the same way, so it is important to keep your pain relief options open and not be afraid to ask for relief if needed.
The ideal anesthetic will provide you with enough pain relief to allow you to deliver your baby with minimal pain while still participating in the experience. There are several forms of anesthesia administered during labor and delivery, and they may be used independently or in conjunction with one another.
It is important to note that epidurals and spinal blocks cannot be used if you:
In order for your anesthesiologist to determine which type of anesthesia is best for you and your baby, it is important to inform him or her of the following:
