My mom always tried to make birthdays special for me. One year, she put a life-sized inflatable clown in my room, like it'd be neat when I woke up. Let me just tell you guys -- you don't know fear until you wake up in the middle of the night to use the restroom, and there in the darkness is what appears to be a man in a clown outfit, watching you while you sleep. My knees buckled immediately out of fear. What made it even more scary is that he didn't even move. He just stayed focused: 'Happy Birthday.'

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Maybe I need one of them fancy tin-foil hats for this analysis, but here goes:
Didn't they delay the release of Firelands because the community wasn't ready for it? I seem to recall that Firelands was supposed to be out about the same time that 4.1 hit.
Perhaps they're trying to get back to production schedule by accelerating the pace of Firelands progression? Generally the way Bliz has worked is that you need to be at the tier of the previous raid to be able to participate in the latest content.
But they probably should have waited till 4.3 was on the PTR to do these nerfs, but I have a feeling that they were holding back the PTR to keep the dataminers grubby paws off the data before they could control the PR. (As they did badly in some cases, re: "BRAND NEW (recycled) worgen mounts!".)
(Not to be painted as a Bliz fanboy. I'll say that I'm rather dissapointed in how they handled most of Cata, mistakes with class balance, what I see is a fall in production values from Wrath (any of the new T13 bosses have original models so-far?) , and a very disjointed unsatisfying storyline. )

Membership Application Packet
On June 2nd,
over 60 volunteers from WorldVentures teamed
with Boys & Girls Clubs youth, staff, board members and community
volunteers to create a garden at our Lahaina Clubhouse. In addition to
their priceless gift of labor, WorldVentures donations of garden
supplies and cash donated by their volunteers totaled over $4,000!
The centerpiece is a tranquil Peace Garden in the planter of the
Monkeypod tree that stands at the Clubhouse entrance. The Peace Garden
features a cultural garden of native, medicinal and edible plants,
including canoe plants brought by the first Polynesians.
Lahaina Unit Director Danae Marin shared, "The WorldVentures
participants all displayed such a wonderful spirit of teamwork, kindness
and caring. I believe their hard work and interaction with our youth
will continue to have a positive impact on the lives of many. We are very grateful!"
Boys & Girls Clubs of Maui President Dave Jorgensen observed, "The
kids were so great with the WorldVentures people and really showed what
great programs BGCM has and how kids can be helped with a little
assistance from 'friends'!"
We are forever to grateful to our amazing team
of Maui Community heroes who were spent days on this project and were
invaluable in the planning and planting of our garden included Master
Gardener Trisha Calhoon, Kirk Surry of Grow Some Good, Chef James
Simpliciano of SimpliFresh Produce, and volunteers Uncle Joe and Auntie
Nancy. Our garden is amazing because of your vision, passion, expertise
and care!

The point he's making is that DPS gains are always incremental and your basic rotation never changes within any given fight, whereas healing presents an entirely different challenge.
A priest's widely varied toolbox allows for some truly miraculous feats when you line everything up right. Solo healing a ten man ICC that just lost its other two healers is not something a paladin or Druid is likely to be able to do, but Priests have the tools to pull it off, albeit not for very long. But PW:S, CoH, Prayer of healing, PoM, and Renew can really put out some incredible group healing in a pinch along with giving the tank some breathing room while you heal the raid. You don't ever see those kinds of accomplioshments as DPS.

Registration Service Fees
Questions on Inert Ingredients
Note: EPA no longer updates this information, but it may be useful as a reference or resource.
Current as of November 16, 2011
Questions and Answers on:
- Do inert ingredient submissions require registration service fees under the Pesticide Registration Improvement Renewal Act (PRIA 2)?
- What types of actions would be included under the term "new inert ingredients"?
- Will all PRIA actions be screened during the 21 day initial content screen to determine if the inerts listed on the CSF are approved for the uses?
- How do I find out if an inert ingredient can be used in a pesticide product with a food use?
- What are other ways to find the chemical I am looking for on the Web, besides the name of the chemical?
- What if I cannot determine whether an inert ingredient is approved after using the InertFinder, the e-CFR and the Web?
- How will the Agency continue to improve its inert ingredient review process?
1. Do inert ingredient submissions require registration service fees under the Pesticide Registration Improvement Renewal Act (PRIA 2)?
Under PRIA 2, effective October 1, 2007, there are registration service fees for new product applications associated with a new inert ingredient petition/request. Specifically those conventional new product applications in which the product's registrant also submits an inert petition for new un-approved inert or a request for an amended inert tolerance exemption or a request for approval of a non-food use inert are subject to a registration service fee. New inert petitions or non-food inert requests submitted for use in biochemical, microbial, Straight Chain Lepepidopteran Pheromone (SCLP) or antimicrobial products reviewed by the Biopesticides and Pollution Prevention Division or the Antimicrobial Division do not have an associated registration service fee.
However, the Pesticide Registration Improvement Renewal Act (PRIA 2) provides that in fiscal years 2008 through 2012 between 1/8 and 1/7 of the maintenance fees collected in a fiscal year will be used to review and evaluate new inert ingredients, proposed new products that are similar or identical to existing products, and proposed label amendments that require no science data review and public health pesticide uses.
2. What types of actions would be included under the term "new inert ingredients"?
In general, a petition submitted to establish a new tolerance or a new exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for an inert ingredient or a request of approval of a new non-food use inert is considered a new action. The list of approved inert ingredients is available on the internet.
As a result of PRIA 2, inert ingredient actions have three categories:
- The new inert ingredient request and/or petition is submitted with a new pesticide product registration application and the active ingredient is a conventional pesticide: This action is covered under registration service fees. A fee will be due to the EPA at application and EPA has a timeframe within which to make a decision on the action. The 3 conventional fee codes are R311, R312, and R313.
- An inert ingredient tolerance exemption is requested for a marker for a Plant Incorporated Protectant reviewed in the Biopesticides and Pollution Prevention Division (BPPD). This action (B903) also requires a registration service fee. A fee will be due to the EPA at application and the EPA has a timeframe within which to make a decision on the action.
- The new inert ingredient approval request and/or petition is for an inert in an antimicrobial or biochemical or microbial product or is submitted by an inert manufacturer and not associated with a request to register a new product. These actions are not covered by PRIA 2. They have no fees associated with them and no timeframes within which the EPA is required to make a decision. PRIA 2 amended FIFRA section 4(k)(3)(A) to provide resources from annual maintenance fees to process these actions.
3. Will all PRIA actions be screened during the 21 day initial content screen to determine if the inerts listed on the CSF are approved for the uses?
Yes, all incoming submissions, are screened to determine whether the inerts listed on a CSF are approved for the uses as described in Footnote A in the 21 Day Initial Content Screen Review Worksheet (PDF). (6 pp, 60 KB, About PDF)
4. How do I find out if an inert ingredient can be used in a pesticide product with a food use?
The Agency has an InertFinder on the web which will allow users to determine whether an ingredient has been approved for food and/or non food uses and any limitation on the use. Users will also be able to identify whether the data compensation regulations apply. In general, the only inert ingredients approved for use in pesticide products applied to food are those that have either tolerances or tolerance exemptions in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), 40 CFR part 180 (the majority are found in sections 180.910 - 960). The most up-to-date tolerances and tolerance exemptions are found in the electronic CFR (e-CFR). Links to the appropriate CFR citation are provided for each chemical name and CAS Reg. No. in the InertFinder*. Please note that many food-use inert ingredients have use limitations and restrictions.
*DISCLAIMER : InertFinder is intended solely to enhance public access to information related to the approval status of substances used as inert ingredients in pesticide products. The user should be aware that while an effort is made to ensure that the information in InertFinder is regularly updated and accurate, there are no express or implied guarantees. The Federal Register and the Code of Federal Regulations remain the official source for regulatory information related to the use of inert ingredients in pesticide products used on food.
5. What are other ways to find the chemical I am looking for on the Web, besides the name of the chemical?
Listed below are alternative ways to search - synonym or CAS number:
The chemical you are looking for may be listed by one of its synonyms. Often the name of a particular chemical is quite straightforward (e.g., sand) but other times a given chemical appears to go by two or three entirely different names (e.g., calcium stearate and octadecanoic acid, calcium salt are two different names for the same chemical). These different names are called synonyms.
To see if your chemical has a synonym, go to EPA's Substance Registry System (SRS). The SRS home screen will prompt you for three pieces of information:
Choose the Search & Retrieve Tab.
Use Substance Search to Search by:
- Synonym (Please enter a CAS name, Biological name, EPA Registry Name or other Synonym. Select the Exact Match radio button)
- Substance Identifier (Enter a CAS Number, TSN, EPA Identifier, Internal Tracking Number, or Alternate Identifier.)
- Substance Type (Use this to narrow your search by identifying the substance type from the drop down menu)
- Choose the Return Type
- Click Search (Select this button to run your search request. The chemical's different names (synonyms) should appear, along with its CAS number.).
CAS Number:
You may be able to find the chemical by its CAS Registry number (commonly noted as CASRN or CAS). A CAS Number is a unique numeric identifier assigned to a particular chemical substance. CAS numbers are managed and assigned by the American Chemical Society's Chemical Abstracts Service.
Some chemicals are known by different names or synonyms; therefore it may be necessary to expand your search criteria to include those different names. To search for synonyms, go to EPA's Substance Registry System (SRS) and search by the same methods listed above under Synonym.
An Important Note about CAS Numbers and the e-CFR: The e-CFR includes many of the inert ingredient's CAS numbers, but not all. EPA is working to remedy this.
6. What if I cannot determine whether an inert ingredient is approved after using the InertFinder, the e-CFR and the Web?
The chemical may not be in 40 CFR 180, subpart D. It is possible that the chemical you are looking for may not be an inert ingredient that EPA has approved to be used in pesticide products. Or, it may be something that is difficult to find. If you need help, please contact the Inert Ingredient Assessment Branch (IIAB) (firstname.lastname@example.com). In your e-mail please try to be as specific as possible as to what chemical you are trying to locate.
7. How will the Agency continue to improve its inert ingredient review process?
EPA has improved the inert ingredient review process by establishing a branch devoted to inert ingredients, the Inert Ingredient Assessment Branch. The Branch has been successful in reducing the new inert ingredient petition backlog and is in the process of improving the information available on inert ingredients. In the near future, the Branch will start screening all incoming non-PRIA associated petitions and getting back to the petitioner with any questions or concerns or data issues within a 30-45 day time period. In this manner only viable petitions will be placed on the Inerts work plan for decision making. The Inert's Web page is regularly updated and provides the latest information on contacts for questions and improvement efforts.

Comments about Rhythm Band A535 Direct Blow Bass Recorder Mouthpiece Cap:
I purchased this for the aulos 533B bass recorder. It does not fit. It's a little too small on the I.D. This will fit the older aulos bass recorder. The newer version aulos bass recorder is a little longer than the old model. So a direct blow cap may not be practical anyway.

UNION TOWNSHIP | The Union Volunteer Fire Department Board of Directors reappointed Tim Beach as the department's fire chief.
His appointment became effective July 11.
Beach replaces former chief Jaime Garcia, who is no longer with the department.
This is not a new role for Beach. He previously served as the chief on the department. Beach, 37, has been a member of the department for 19 years. Beach has served as an Ogden Dunes police officer for the past eight years.
"While it's disappointing to learn that so many things have been neglected in-house, I speak on behalf of the department that at no such time was the quality of our service ever a question to the members of our community," Beach said. "We have always been there for the community and we will continue to do so — now stronger than ever."
Beach said his goals are to ready the department for township residents and to train firefighters to the best of their abilities.
Beach said they are also working on getting their our website back up and running, so that members of the community will be able to go to the web page and to view upcoming events in Union Township, learn about the firefighters and check out apparatus, including two newly acquired fire trucks.

By characteristics I mean: (L/D)max, CLmax, CDmin, or more generally, the drag polar and lift curve.
|Mar 18, 2012, 06:58 AM
Once you get down to slow speeds and small areas, the airfoil may as well be a flat plate.
you can undercamber it to help at really low speeds but all the futzing around with high points leading edge radii - surface textures etc., is just busy work.
I am referring to speeds of 25 mph or less and wing areas in th 400sq in n under area .
The bumble bee and the hummingbird fly very well with NONE of the aerodynamic characteristics of birds such as seagulls etc..
Really all you have to do is try a number of these small craft to see how the "rules" simply can be bent and or ignored.
actually geting the structure (strength and rigidity) and weight correct is far far more important.
In full scale the problem has always been trying to get lifting devices which work for the power available .
any airfoil is just a compromise for a specific load/speed etc.. No magic involved

Is this coming from observing some designs that fly slowly?
I'm not sure which "rules" you're talking about. Do you have some equations in mind? Are they approximations meant for a certain range of vehicle size?
The mechanisms used to generate lift naturally change with object size because of the fact that weight scales with length cubed and surface area scales with length squared.
|Mar 18, 2012, 10:59 AM
Low speed airfoils.... although those dragon flies can move!
High aspect ratio, and really really thin!
|Mar 18, 2012, 11:01 AM
The size/mass of the object relative to air density.
Insects have little size, little mass, and flat wings.
Cambering starts with birds.
|Mar 18, 2012, 12:39 PM
The requirements are vastly different in a 40 pound TOC aerobat and a small foamies weighing 1 ounce
I can get both to perform the same maneuvers !
As for equasions -- I have no background in the math for this stuff .
I know that approach is interesting to many fliers - I simply preferred a hands on approach.
|Mar 18, 2012, 02:10 PM
Dick, to be fair the flat foamies you are flying use the sharp and deep stall charactaristics of the flat plate to their advantage when flying in their intended manner. At the size and speed they fly at there actually are still a lot of advantages to be had by using a proper airfoil that works well at that size instead of a flat plate. The airfoils used on smaller RC gliders show this as they are often flying at around the same wing loading and flying speed as the 3D flat foamies.
But it doesn't take much of a reduction in size to get to where a flat plate IS the right choice. By the time we get down to smaller and lighter rubber models flat plates or flat plates with a slight camber curve work better than built up airfoils. Free flight models have shown this for years now where it really doesn't matter a whole lot what shape we use for the smaller and slower models as long as they can be thin and have a sharp leading edge.... sounds like a cambered flat plate "all sheet" sort of wing, doesn't it?
Even the more recent airfoils expressly designed for DLG RC gliders and even up to 2 meter size stuff is coming out VERY thin by the standards of yesteryear. I point to the airfoils designed by Mark Drela as examples of this. The airfoils used on his Bubble Dancer molded wings are very thin in comparison to similar size designs from 15 to 20 years back.
|Mar 18, 2012, 03:16 PM
Gliders are gliders and IF I were flying them , I would likely try shaping the wings - mainly for strength to weight but for a fully aerobatic ( the bipe pictured is a terrific slow speed performer indoors having 80 sq inches of wing and weighs all up -- 29 grams) the advantage of any curve or plate streamling appears to be whimsey at best.
I adopted thin airfoils long ago in the 1980s-on my FAI pattern planes and the Buckers (TOC models) The big bipes CHyde had at the same time had even thinner wings but they required rigging. I got away with 10% thickness and no rigging because the structure used permitted it
As many have found, thin foils and low wing loadings go hand in hand -even in very violent aerobatics - the only caveat is that strength to weight really has to be watched. really good structural approaches are paramount.

Richard, I agree that it would likely be a waste of time trying to put a smooth airfoil on something very small and light. I also agree that thin is the way to go at those sizes. I think this is more because the thickness isn't needed---a thin balsa plate can withstand the bending. Also, you're argument is based on size, and I think I generally agree your argument based on practicallity.
So which "rules" were you talking about bending or ignoring?
Also, my question was regarding Dave's statement that specifically mentioned Reynolds number.
|Mar 18, 2012, 10:07 PM
I find (as have others) - balsa is not a good weight/strength medium for these ultra small light models
the new foamed materials and carbon fiber work better
anyway- the "rules" which can be bent easily are those regard stalled flying surfaces and desireable /safe CG's.
These are models and can do many aerodynamic tricks simply impossible with full scale
Why? because the power to weight and size can be far in excess of what is possible in full size.
I am not referring to small hand launch or indoor microfilm
these are full bore aerobatic types.
What types small models have you worked with?

I've stayed in the one to two pound range, other than some balsa gliders (and I agree balsa is not ideal).
I wouldn't be surprised if the ability for these small aircraft to do the very fast tricks is due to the very low moment of inertia. One thing that doesn't depend on moment of inertia is the steady state roll rate. What have you noticed on the ability of these small aircraft in the way of a steady roll?
|Mar 19, 2012, 06:33 AM
Steady roll rate- absence of a roll couple?
These models -not the little sporty bipe I showed in the pic, have extraordinary roll characteristics
example - some of the designs fly as easily -in a straight line- on edge as in level or inverted flight .
the side areas of the fuselage and wing dams are such that lift against gravity, is pretty close to the same in any portion of the roll.
rolls are very constant with a given aileron input and also turns from in level flight require no aileron inputs or corrections -just rudder nput - very odd ato see at first .
The models are just about perfectly neutral.
The little bipe has sweep in both panels and a small amount of dihedral
It does extremely sharp radius, flat turns, will also hover, torque roll,-a real torque roll, loop inside or outside with no "roll out" and is extremely docile in very high alpha flight
but - it simply will not roll. It is easy for even novice flyers -in a small gym
two completely different setups -both tons o fun

Yeah I've seen some interesting youtube videos of them. I forgot they have enormous control surfaces as well.
|Mar 19, 2012, 08:10 AM
Yes - there is a bunch of videos of indoor competition from Germany which show how these perform - the accurate flight paths they can follow are amazing
We worked for years to get accuracy in outdoor pattern plane (and huge IMAC /TOC planes) but these indoor models are simply beyond anything we had for outdoor flying.
Extremely low ineria is obviously at work here .

To use a blanket statement for slow flying models based on pattern planes and small foam aerobatic planes is absurd. The planes you are talking about need inverted performance (symmetrical airfoils) and use high drag to help control speed on the down leg of maneuvers, correct?
If the airfoil shape made no difference other than structural there would be no need for glider classes that do not allow camber change.
My first model airplanes were control line. A friend and I went to a hobby store and bought the same kit, .049 engine, prop, etc. We would fly in the same circle and my friend's plane was sooooo slow. As you can imagine he was not very happy so we took his plane to the hobby store for help. After they stopped laughing… they pointed out that my friend skipped the "sand the balsa wing to an airfoil." Yep, it had a square leading and trailing edge wing, just like a Depron plane.
His plane probably would have been far superior to mine for control line stunt though, wouldn't it?

Trucking insurance
Expect to pay 3 percent to 5 percent of your truck's value for damage insurance premiums.
THIS ARTICLE IS FROM the 2006 edition of the Overdrive Partners in Business manual, co-written by American Truck Business Services, presenter of the Partners in Business seminars. The program is sponsored by Freightliner Trucks and Castrol. The next seminar will be during the Mid-America Trucking Show, March 22-24, 2007, in Louisville, Ky. To order a manual, call (800) 633-5953, Ext. 1135. Visit this site for more excerpts and program information.
After the truck payment, truck insurance is an owner-operator's biggest fixed cost, one that must be paid on time whether a truck is running hard or parked. Without adequate insurance, an accident or cargo claim could mean financial ruin.
Insurance expenses can add up quickly, which is why many owner-operators budget their premiums a year in advance. Your age, your driving record, the age and condition of your equipment, the commodities you haul, the lanes you run, and state requirements all affect insurance costs, but an owner-operator with a new truck and his own authority is likely to pay each year:
- $5,000 for $1 million in primary liability insurance to cover damage or injury done to others in case of accident while you're under dispatch.
- $2,400 for physical damage insurance to cover damage done to your truck and trailer in case of accident.
- $1,000 for cargo insurance to cover damage to or theft of the load you're hauling.
- $450 for $1 million in non-trucking-use liability insurance.
All that insurance totals about $9,000 per year, assuming a safe driving record.
Leased owner-operators generally carry just as much truck insurance as an independent, but pay for less of it themselves. The leased operator should make sure the lease agreement specifies what he is not responsible for (typically primary liability and cargo insurance) and what he is responsible for (typically physical damage and non-trucking liability insurance).
Many fleets charge the owner-operator for liability and cargo insurance, usually by taking a percentage of all settlements, but other fleets absorb it as part of the cost of doing business. Some fleets require drivers of smaller trucks to handle their own primary liability, especially in courier or delivery applications.
Owner-operators shopping for insurance can look to trucking-specific insurance agencies or truck dealers. Shop around before you buy.
Some leased owner-operators buy all their insurance independently of the plans offered by their fleets. This costs more in most cases, but its advantages include more control of your coverage, a closer business relationship with your agent, and a speedier reply when you have an emergency. Independently purchased insurance is portable, so if driver and fleet part ways, the driver's still covered en route to the next orientation. Before you can be assigned a load, of course, you'll have to show your carrier proof that you have all the coverage it requires.
If you are an independent, you are required by federal law to have a minimum of $750,000 liability coverage. This is to protect you in case of a major accident in which you are at fault. You may want to consider higher coverage, at least $5 million, since a catastrophic truck accident can cost millions of dollars.
Because primary liability insurance is the law, it's standard in lease agreements. Remember, though, that just because your carrier is insured against damage you cause, it won't necessarily be on your side in case of an accident. For that reason, some leased owner-operators opt to buy liability insurance independently of their carriers.
For many, however, having liability taken care of is one of the biggest advantages to leasing. Owner-operators who switch to their own authority often are surprised by how costly, complex and time-consuming liability coverage can be.

I've just been told I have acetabular cysts. This is what's causing so much hip and groin pain. What causes the cysts? I do have ovarian cysts. Are the two related?
The term 'cyst' refers to any sac that contains fluid or a semisolid material of some kind. Cysts usually occur in soft tissues like the ovaries, bladder, skin, or digestive tract. There can be cysts in the knee and shoulder, too.
Cysts can occur in bone just under the layer of cartilage that attaches to the bone. These are called subchondral bone cysts. A subchondral bone cyst in the hip socket is an acetabular cyst. Acetabulum is another word for the socket or cup-shaped part of the hip joint.
Doctors aren't exactly sure what causes acetabular cysts. One idea is that thinning of the layer of cartilage occurs with aging. Then tiny cracks form in the cartilage leading to the development of cysts. This theory suggests the cysts are brought on by mechanical stress.
Another idea is that a labral tear occurs forcing fluid into the acetabulum through the tear. The labrum is a rim of cartelage around the acetabulum that helps hold the head of the femur (thighbone) in the socket. Once synovial fluid enter the acetabulum, a bone cysts forms.
There's no known link between ovarian cysts and acetabular cysts. It's may be just a coincidence that you have two different kinds of cysts in your body.

I believe that fat people are more than just the fat they carry. They are more than the stereotyped image of the fat person who is lazy and eats all day. They have lives and families. Yet they seem to be open targets for public shame and humiliation. It seems that so many people are all too willing to poke fun at someone who is fat because of some preconceived notion that all fat people choose to be that way. Just because fat is so obvious. It cannot be hidden. It can't be tucked away within ourselves or stuffed in a box and stored under the bed. It can never be a secret.
I'm pro-fat acceptance because I am pro-human rights. Fat people have a right to feel comfortable in their own skin. They have a right to leave their houses without shame or fear of being mocked. Other people do not have to like it, but they certainly do not have a right to make someone feel less than human because of it.
The Fat Grackle
I just wanted to answer this question posed to me in response to a question asked of them, "Why should anyone extend any more than a basic level of respect to one who cannot respect themself?" I'm answering it here because I cannot possibly squeeze this into an ask box.
My answer: For the sake of my sanity I'm going to try to ignore the insinuation that fat people, as a whole, do not respect themselves, thus do not deserve anymore respect than the lowest baseline expected to be shown to all humans (including pedophiles, rapists and murderers).
The simplest way I can explain why I choose to extend respect to all people is because I know what it is like to hate myself and I know the pain that comes with that. I know what it feels like to be called names, treated like dirt, and humiliated (for me it was because of the size and shape of my body). It is hard to find a way to respect yourself when so many people tell you that you cant. I was depressed, I self-injured, I had to be hospitalized. I found hope and the ability to love myself despite my body over 11 years ago. I still was not at peace with my body. Over the past year, I have found permission to actually love myself the way I am and actually embrace the body I have. I'm a sexy beast (my husband agrees).
I cannot know any other human being's struggles as astutely as the individual experiencing them. I'm not just talking about body size either. There are a lot of ways humans can struggle. I cannot tell anything about a person by looking at them, except perhaps the level of my own prejudice about the things that I observe about them (some really wise person said something to this effect but I can't remember who).
I'm fat and I respect myself. I love me. The fat acceptance movement is about giving fat people the power and freedom to love and respect themselves and I suspect this is what really troubles people. I think people are threatened by the idea of people deciding to give popular societal notions the finger and living their life happy anyways.
I choose love. I choose acceptance. I choose respect…. and I do not demand qualifiers.
I hope I've made sense, I felt a bit rambly…
"Fat people, it is commonly held, should be punished because they offend our aesthetic sensibilities. They take up too much space on subways, buses, airplanes, and elevators. They consume more than they contribute to society. They become ill and need to be taken care of, or they die early and their families are left unsupported. The only way fat people can gain some acceptance and forgiveness for their crime of overeating is to at least try, or look like they are trying, to lose weight. They must never eat an ice cream cone in public, never be seen eating a normal sized portion of non-diet food!"
Albert Ellis, Michael Abrams, Lidia Dengelegi, The Art & Science of Rational Eating (via euphoricelixir)
It is laughable that this quote is actually being used the way I found it being used. The book being quoted actually argues things like:
"We will show that the actual evidence robustly points in another direction. It shows that there are many different types of people, all shapes, sizes, and styles, and obesity, rather than being symptom of neurosis, may say no more about a person than her height, hair color, or skin texture."
"In this book we shall argue against these notions by showing that obesity stems more from genetic and biological than from neurotic roots, and that most personality traits "causing" obesity actually originate from people lambasting themselves for being fat. "
I was particularly fond of the following quote (even though I do not advocate dieting), because of its emphasis on the individual's need for self love:
"Changing one's weight or eating style has been shown to be a most difficult long-term behavioral goal. The obese individual has a far lesser chance of permanently becoming thin than the heroin addict has of becoming clean, the crack user becoming drug free, or the alcoholic staying dry. With such an imposing obstacle to clear, the dieter had better learn to accept himself as he is, prior to making a grand effort to become thin. A person prone to self-downing actually discourages himself from changing traits that he loathes. If one hates oneself, one tends to be particularly unmotivated to work at self-improvement. "If I am no good, how can 'rotten me' improve my rotten traits?" Rational-emotive therapy encourages self-acceptance, not merely self-efficacy, and not self-esteem. As noted above, both of those forms of self-rating work badly. To achieve self-esteem you have to perform well. To achieve self-efficacy you have to constantly do better than others. By definition then, self-esteem and self-efficacy require relative ratings. But self-acceptance means that you view yourself as a "worthy person" whether or not you have great accomplishments. You do not rate you, your personhood, and do not blame yourself for not being better than you are. Of course, you work to improve your acts and traits in order to enjoy yourself and increase your standing in life. But it is unreasonable to disparage yourself simply because you are not the way that you presumably should or must be. "
And those quotes are just what I read from Amazon's book preview. I am now going to have to buy this book and read it. I have found a new appreciation for Dr. Albert Ellis. I think I shall give REBT a more serious look after today.

(WHAS11) For this week's Friday Flashback, we take you back to 1981; on a Friday, Friday the 13th of February!
A malfunction at the Ralston Purina Company near U of L had dumped the chemical hexane into our sewers.
In this story you can view video of what the city was like the next morning.
The Ralston-Purina Company eventually paid millions of dollars to the city and to thousands of residents to settle lawsuits.
The first WHAS reporters to the scene that morning were Rick Redman and Jeffrey Hutter. In the video, they remembered it all with us this week
So how did the hexane ignite? A spark from a woman's car as she was driving over a sewer cap that morning triggered the blast.
You can watch our entire interviews, here, with both Rick and Jeff.

2 doctors probed over Heath Ledger's prescription painkillers
Federal drug investigators are probing two doctors over the death of actor Heath Ledger, it has been learned.
The doctors – one in California, one in Texas – are believed to have supplied the "Brokeback Mountain" star with the powerful painkillers Oxycontin and Vicodin, law enforcement sources said. Authorities want to know if the drugs were prescribed illegally. "It's an ongoing investigation," a law enforcement source told The News Tuesday. "It's not clear if there was any wrongdoing."
The revelation came more than a month after the 28-year-old Australian heartthrob's naked body was found in his SoHo loft.
The city's medical examiner ruled Ledger died on Jan. 22 of an accidental overdose of six prescription drugs, including the two painkillers, sleeping pills and anti-anxiety medication. The federal Drug Enforcement Administration has subpoenaed the medical examiner's findings as part of its probe into the doctors, the sources said.

The post-Christmas sales are upon us, and it's the second most wonderful time of the year. Now that the gift giving's all over, it's time to treat yourself. Since it's hard to find something full price the week before New Year's, take advantage of the deals and justify some massive purchases. It's what baby Jesus in a manger would want.
What's the best post-Christmas sale you've heard about?
Photo via JD Hancock/Flickr
Kohl's is having it's Blitz sale tomorrow. 60-70% off Christmas stuff(or anything they got in for Christmas/a lot of the winter stuff) plus 15% off all purchases & if you spend over $100 you get 20% off.
LMBO!!! its what the baby Jesus would want..
LOL!! i dont normally do any after xmas shopping.. i just dont have the room for anything else ..but i do wish hubby were home from work so i could go get some clothesat KOHLS...
check out my sales! www.followchristine.com
Baby Jesus wants me to rave the sales crowds & spend my money?
Don't recall seeing that in the bible. lol!
Just went to old navy today....omg.got my kids tons of clothes for 5 or less a peice..Its a must to have patience though to be able to look through everything,,but very worth it !!!

Arg, I need to learn how to colour.
Like reeeeally badly :(
Those are all things that bothered me too. :(
About Renee, Williams commented somewhere that the photos were officers who earned some kind of commendation. So she's not dead! (here's the source for that)
I didn't like the way Kate treated Bette. I get that it's a military thing, but Bette is her cousin, and she's been a professional athlete and amateur crimefighter since she was like twelve. And it seems like a bad idea to take away her costume with bulletproof armor and night vision goggles and replace it with a baggy sweat suit, but maybe it was a bulletproof sweat suit, I don't know.
I didn't quite dislike Kate, but I didn't like her, either, and I really want to like her. I think maybe the long wait and seeing it previewed over and over again dampened my enthusiasm. Maybe issue 2 will be more exciting.
Thanks for the link - that's something of a relief!
I'm kind of hoping that this issue was showcasing the worst of Kate, and that we'll get to see the best of her pretty soon. And yeah, the long wait had the effect for me of really building up my expectations, so maybe if they're a little more grounded I'll enjoy the next issue more. We'll see.
First of all, remember when DC was doing that teaser, months and months ago, of "Who is this woman and why is she crying?" The woman finally appeared this week, in Batwoman.
Here is how Batwoman makes me feel: worried.
Worried, first of all, about Renee. Some people have already floated the idea that she might be dead - I don't think there's enough to go on to say either way. Kate seems to be visibly upset about her, but Maggie, on the other hand, doesn't seem to feel the need to say anything about her despite knowing that she and Kate dated. So perhaps she's gone somewhere and Kate misses her. Perhaps Kate knows or thinks she's dead and Maggie doesn't. Perhaps the fact that this new villain is Spanish-speaking is going to come back to Renee.
And, hell, I'm also worried that the fact that Renee, dead-or-alive, was brought up right in the first book, means that we're still getting the whole Renee and Kate as star-crossed lovers fuckery. Let them move on, DC.
I'm worried about Bette. She's been treated like a nuisance by DC since the very beginning, and now she has Kate doing just that, while also robbing her of the identity she chose herself. It's a very militaristic take on their relationship - think of any army film where the sergeant is telling new recruits they're maggots and their names are mud - but you know what? I hate those films.
I'm worried about Kate, too. I liked the way her relationship with her father was portrayed before, with mutual love and respect but plenty of old wounds and poor communication. This new out-and-out hate is a lot darker, and honestly, less interesting.
And here is my biggest worry: I'm worried that I'm just not going to like Kate. This week she was pushing all my buttons in the worst kind of way, and however much I want Batwoman to be successful, I'm not going to read a comic that makes me feel this upset and uncomfortable.
The art is, of course, stunning, but I don't know if it suits this new story as much as it did the one that ran in Detective Comics. I sometimes find Williams' layouts a little hard to follow, which doesn't help.
No, Batwoman isn't bad! But it is looking like it's not going to be to my taste, which is sad.
Babby's first gif.
Working on the second one now.
Guys I love Batwoman so much you have no idea (okay maybe you do).
WHAAAT. This is so cool. SO COOL!
I really do not like Maggie and Kate hooking up. But Cameron Chase is appearing. This is a good thing.

Horror! Batwoman faces the terrifying villain stalking Gotham City's children. Can she defeat the gruesome monster in time to save the city's most innocent victims? Intrigue! Kate Kane unearths a ghost she has tried hard to bury, even as the D.E.O. closes in on Batwoman. Can Kate outrun her past and Cameron Chase? Romance! Kate's relationship with Detective Maggie Sawyer continues to evolve. But will Kate's nocturnal activities cause a rift between the two?
I think Maggie and Kate hooking up is fantastic. At the very least, it means that Kate/Renee will stop being played as some tragic destined romance, which belittles Renee's relationship with Dee and also limits the number of seriously relationships which the narrative will allow each of them to have.
It would have been nice for DC to give us more, new, queer women, but at least it means one of the queer ladies they already have is getting more page time.
NGL, this was pretty much the reason I got out of bed this morning.
I wonder if, in a DC-supported slash comic, Hal/Barry would still be the most boring slash pairing of all time? I suspect the answer is yes.
Also: I wish Kate/Renee had been switched out for a non-canon queer lady pairing, since all the other couples are fan-favourites that haven't been acknowledged as canon. But you can't have everything, I guess.

How to Know if Someone Is Lying in a Text
It may be easy to tell if someone is lying when face-to-face, but that form of communication is less common in this technology age, and texting is much more popular. So how can you possibly tell if you are being lied to in a text?
1If they take a long time to reply after they've texted non-stop for 10 minutes, something might be up.Ad
2If they answer with a long explanation that doesn't make sense to you, they might be trying to avoid saying the truth.
3If they change the subject, they may have just lied.
4If you suspect something, keep it in mind and ask them when you get the chance. You are at the other side of the text so you have the responsibility to ask.
5You text one incident that happened and they say the same thing that happened (They'll try to change it)Ad

Edwards, ranked by Scout.com as No. 76 in the Southeast, No. 228 nationally, and the No. 15 tight end in the country, said he still favors LSU and Alabama solidly over Miami, Florida and Nebraska. "LSU and Alabama are my top two," Edwards said. "I have a great relationship with all their coaches and could see myself playing at either school."
He grew up following the Tigers and his brother, Eric Edwards, played tight end for the Tigers when they won the national championship under coach Nick Saban, before he left for the Miami Dolphins and eventually, Alabama.
"I really feel at home at LSU and it's just a comfortable place," he said. "I think I fit in well with the coaches and the players. The coaches are really smart and know what they are doing. I think they will play for the national championship this year. They've got a lot of talent on that team."
Edwards attended camps at LSU, Alabama and Florida.
"Alabama is probably gonna struggle a little this year, but coach Saban will get things going," Edwards said. "He's working hard to rebuild and has to get his own players in there. They don't expect things to happen right away, but they'll be back on top."
Edwards does have high expectations for the two Florida schools on his list, Miami and Florida. "(New) Coach Randy Shannon at Miami really knows his football and I think they'll really improve this year," he said. "He's a great motivator and has the team believing in themselves.
"(Florida) coach Urban Meyer is also a great coach and very laid back," Edwards said. "They have a great program and produce great athletes. I think they've got enough top guys coming back this year to really have a chance to repeat as national champions."
Edwards hasn't scheduled any official visits yet, but is planning to do so soon. "I'm meeting with my coach tomorrow to talk about visits," he said. "I'm looking for a school where I can get early playing time and just feel at home and like I really fit in.
"I really don't want to feel pressured," he said. "That's not what's gonna make me choose a school. I'm waiting until after the season to decide."
A new school to Edwards' top five is Nebraska. "They started to recruit me a lot this summer," he said. "They've been hitting me hard and said they'll come to see one of my games this fall. I know Nebraska has great history and always produces great players, but I don't know too much about the program yet."
Ouachita Parish starts their season on August 31 against Carroll High School in Monroe, La., but they played their jamboree game on Aug. 25 against Russell. Ouachita won 9-7, but Edwards admitted he was less than stellar. "I didn't play too well and felt sick," he said. "I was throwing up and I think it was something I ate. I didn't have any catches and was only blocking during the game."
He reports a 3.0 core GPA and a 22 ACT.

This Sunday, the battle for "The Next Iron Chef" begins. Ten "super chefs" will compete on this eight-episode series to join Bobby Flay, Michael Symon, Masaharu Morimoto and Marc Forgione on the Iron Chef America team.
The show, in its fourth season, will be hosted by Alton Brown. The ten chefs competing are names you'll recognize. They include Alex Guarnaschelli, Anne Burrell, Michael Chiarello, Elizabeth Faulkner, Chuck Hughes, Robert Irvine, Beau MacMillan, Spike Mendelsohn, Marcus Samuelsson and Geoffrey Zakarian
I spoke with Alex Guarnaschelli, judge on "Chopped" and executive chef at Butter Restaurant in New York City, about her participation on the show.
What made you decide to compete on "The Next Iron Chef?"
I've been a judge on "Chopped" and I've loved "Iron Chef" all through my career. It seemed like a logical thing.
Did you do anything to prepare for the show?
I cooked a lot. I'm always cooking in my restaurant, but I cooked a lot of my favorite ingredients to keep me grounded in who I am as a chef.
Were you nervous about competing on the show?
Of course. I was sweating bullets the whole time.
You've been on the judging side of the table on both "Iron Chef America" and on "Chopped." How did it feel to switch sides?
Fun. All fun. It's a game. Being a judge informs you as a competitor and vice versa. You have to put your money where your mouth is.
What was the spirit of the competition? Was it highly competitive?
We all know each other. We've been through a lot together. We had a tacit understanding that we wouldn't give each other a hard time.
What are your culinary strengths and weaknesses?
I second guess myself. I get very nervous. That would be my weakness. My strength: I've been cooking a long time. I've spent my career researching and developing ingredients.
What would it mean to you to win "The Next Iron Chef?"
It's the culinary Olympics. It would be nice to get a gold medal.
Have you ever considered other shows like "Top Chef Masters?"
Offers come your way. I'm not ruling anything out.
"The Next Iron Chef: Super Chefs" premieres this Sunday at 9 p.m. EST on Food Network.

i do not like the constantly nick-picking rulings that she makes when she judges. i thought she'd learned her lesson when she competed on iron chef as a guest and realized it was above her skills. i love the next ic show and will watch it. there are some amazing cooks that have shown grace under fire as both judges and as competitors on various food network and bravo shows.

Being a fan of Iron Chef and Chopped, I have to say that Chopped is a much more difficult show for the competitors. I respect Alex and her abilities, but I wish she would just smile a bit more and have more personality. Just look at her one sentence responses Jenny's questions and tells you all you have to know about how cold she comes off.
October 30th, 2011
12:26 pm
It'll be nice to see her on the other end of the judging table. Maybe she'll tone down her criticisms in the future. That being said, I like her and hope she does well on the show. If Cat Cora IS gone for good now, I'm sure they'll be looking for another female.

cat cora generally always beat her competitors. the opening is not for another female top chef (or maybe it is–) but it is for the best of the best. i like the upcoming competition because there are some major hitters in it.

Folks got an early start on holiday shopping on Saturday, as the City of Reno and the National Automobile Museum hosted the first annual City of Reno's Buy Local Marketplace.
The classic cars were still in place at the museum, but they were surrounded by more than 100 local businesses.
"They're loving where it is and how it's situated, that we've given them room, that they're not crammed in," says Sharon Zadra, a Reno City Council member and organizer of the event.
Many of these businesses will take all the space they can get because the customers just kept coming. Kimmie Candy Company had to leave and get more supplies because they ran out so quickly.
"The selling points are the peanut-free, gluten-free and kosher dairies," says Kelli Post. "So, a lot of people are liking the candy, and the special blend of our chocolate."
Most of the vendors had some pretty creative stuff too. Channel 2's Kristen Remington had her Live at 5 Jewelry booth set up. We even came across an artist drawing portraits.
Some of the businesses run a small operation in town, including Clockwork Monster. Owner Shelly Jackson makes all the Victorian and steam punk jewelry from home.
"I don't do things anybody else does here, so I have a lot of really good responses and a lot of shoppers," she says.
The city says they've received nothing but positive feedback from vendors and customers. So, you can bet that next year, you'll be seeing this "buy local" event back for more.
Admission for the event was $2 or folks could have donated two cans of food. All the food collected will go to the Food Bank of Northern Nevada.

You do not need an arduino to try this:
1) power -> led's anode -> led's cathode -> drain;
2) source -> ground;
now, connect gate to power, the leds should light up; then connect gate to ground, the leds should be completely off.
everything works fine if the arduino uno is not there

I was reading a few pages of this booklet till the author mentioned that we should cut down on saturated fat which includes coconut oil. I totally disagree with him as coconut oil is not a bad saturated fat as it is a medium chain fatty acid and will not turn into trans fat when consumed. Contrary to what was previously believed by many health care professionals coconut oil in fact has many health benefits. Did not bother to finish reading this booklet.

This booklet was very helpful in helping me identify the type of garlic used to control blood pressure. All garlic is not created equal and this booklet helps the user find the right type for the right condition.
Very informative, even for a advertisement booklet.

This booklet is sponsored by a garlic supplement company, so it is a little heavy on the garlic information, however, it did contain lots of facts on other supplements and dietary changes. Recommended as a intro to high blood pressure.

U.S. Savings Bonds
Definition of 'U.S. Savings Bonds'
A U.S. government savings bond that offers a fixed rate of interest over a fixed period of time. Many people find these bonds attractive because they are not subject to state or local income taxes. These bonds cannot be easily transferred and are non-negotiable.
Investopedia explains 'U.S. Savings Bonds'
U.S. savings bonds are one of the safest types of investments because they are endorsed by the federal government and, therefore, are virtually risk free. Although these bonds do not earn much interest compared to the stock market, they do offer a less volatile source of income.

Get to know the ropes of Apple's brand new mobile operating system
LG unveils new flagship smartphone
Models pose with LG Electronics' new smartphone, the Optimus G, during its unveiling ceremony in Seoul, South Korea (AP)
LG Electronics will launch the Optimus G smartphone next week in South Korea, pinning high hopes on the new Android device to help revive its loss-making mobile business.
LG said that the Optimus G will go on sale in Japan next month and in the US in November. That would put LG's new phone, which costs 894 US dollars (£550) without subsidies from operators in South Korea, in competition with Apple's iPhone 5 and Samsung's Galaxy Note II smartphones during the fall and the winter holidays.
Previous Optimus smartphones have failed to make a mark in the fastest-growing segment of the mobile phone market. LG's mobile division posted losses of nearly 1 trillion won (£550 million) in 2010 and 2011 combined.
LG's mobile chief said the company hopes the G smartphone will help accelerate the division's turnaround.
"The Optimus G is our flagship phone with a competitive edge," Park Jong-seok, LG's mobile business president, told reporters at a media event. "We are trying to make phones differentiated from our rivals."
LG Electronics Inc was the world's third-largest handset maker before being overtaken by Apple in the high-end market and China-based ZTE Corp in the low-end. Analysts said LG was focused on making handsets primarily for voice calls and text messaging, which delayed its response when Apple's iPhone took the mobile market by storm.
The Seoul-based company has reduced its reliance on rudimentary phones to bank on advanced gadgets using Google's Android operating system. But its efforts have not paid off so far. LG's mobile communications division reported an operating loss of 57 billion won (£31 million) in the second quarter.
International Data Corporation puts LG at No. 5 among global mobile-phone makers after Samsung Electronics, Nokia, Apple and ZTE in the three months ending in June.
As LG's struggles with mobile phones continue, various affiliates at LG Group, a major industrial group in South Korea, joined forces to create the G smartphone.
LG Display, which supplies screens for Apple's iPhone and iPad, manufactured 4.7-inch displays for the G, while other LG affiliates made a battery and a 13-megapixel camera. The G smartphone is powered by Qualcomm's quad-core processor and supports access to a faster wireless network.

This movie (directed by Joel Lamangan) attempts to discover some anxious facts regarding our community, developing a tale all over a little lady forced into a fundamentally manipulative planet, plus a reports press starving to work with her to their personal closes. It is all hypothetically amazing material, but it does not fairly end up this way. Despite the fact that manager Joel Lamangan attempts tougher to create anything intriguing, the film continue to seems unpleasant and mixed up. It swiftly rejects the truth of the scenario to experience in more alarmist grounds, pressing the figures to perform factors that simply never create sense at all.

49ers' Delanie Walker Suffers Truly Tragic Loss When Family Is Killed After the Super Bowl
While the 49ers loss to the Ravens in Sunday's Super Bowl hit the team hard, that doesn't even begin to compare to the personal loss of the team's tight end, Delanie Walker. According to reports, after his aunt and uncle, Alice and Bryan Young, left the big game, they were killed in a fiery car crash.
Young tweeted the news this afternoon along with a picture of him with them: "Alice and bryan young my aunt and uncle was killed on Monday at 5 am after the super bowl by a drunk driver … we lost some good people they will be missed i love y'all" Heartbreaking.
According to Sports Illustrated, a 26-year-old driver veered off the highway and into their vehicle, which was stopped on the shoulder of the interstate, around 5:30 a.m. Monday. The cars caught on fire, and it wasn't until today that their bodies were identified by the coroner. The driver, who escaped with minor injuries, was arrested on suspicion of vehicular homicide, driving while intoxicated, and reckless operation of a vehicle.
You can just imagine how excited they were to see their nephew there playing in a Super Bowl game. I imagine them discussing the game on the way home, disappointed by the team's loss but so proud of him. Then just like that, their lives were over because someone chose to drink and drive.
There are so many circumstances and tragedies in life that can't be prevented. Things like disease and true accidents. But drunk driving is not just an accident; it can be prevented, and it's one of the most irresponsible, reprehensible things a person can do.
Fortunately, their son, DeAndre Williams, wasn't with them. A "standout high school football player" himself you would have thought he would have done anything to be at that game. But Yahoo reports that while he was invited, he decided to stay home and focus on schoolwork and track practice instead. Thank God he did. Many thoughts and prayers to this family.
Have you known anyone killed by a drunk driver?

sassykat122February 6, 2013 at 11:04 PMI don't understand that motherf*@kin idiot who thought it was a bright idea to drink and drive. A child is an orphan now. Two lives cut short. Bottom line... Just get someone to drive you home. There should be no tolerance for drunk drivers. Throw the book at this asshat.

FellyScarlettFebruary 6, 2013 at 11:39 PMI loath drunk drivers. When I was a kid my friends older brother was killed by a drunk driver the night before he was to leave for basic training. Quite frankly, the town was never the same.
These selfish people are sad excuses for humans. They need to be thrown in jail forever. Maybe then they'll be able to begin to comprehend the pain they put the victims loved ones through.

emmieFebruary 7, 2013 at 12:44 AMMy 4 year old was killed by a drunk driver a d every time i read about another drunk driver i relive his death. It makes me disgusted that people are so stupid and selfish. I hope this man gets jail time and gets butt raped. Prayers for his family though.

Sonya Epperson BrintonFebruary 7, 2013 at 7:23 AMMy firs husband was killed by a drunk driver on Fathers Day in 1996. OUr two daughters were with him. Our oldest is fine and at the time was 5 (she is now 21). Our youngest was 19 months at the time (now she is 18) and suffers from a traumatic brain injury and is partially paralyzed. It is a dumbe irresponsiboe decision to drink and drive. So many other choices out there on how to get home. Now this young woman has effected not only this innocent family but also her own. Stuid careless decision
