The JPEG file format for photos is popular because it has good compression characteristics and lets you set the compression amount when saving a JPEG image. One way to shrink the file size, then, is to change the compression ratio. Photoshop lets you do this by tinkering with the "Quality" value during its JPEG save process. Paint Shop Pro, another photo editing package, lets you choose a compression ratio value between 1 and 99. A level of 1 gives the lowest compression ratio and best image quality. The image quality goes down as the compression ratio number goes higher. Other programs may have different settings, but they will be employing the same underlying concepts. When the compression ratio is higher, the image becomes more pixelated; the program is throwing out more and more information in order to squeeze the file down to size. Reducing the image size instead can give you a smaller file size without pixelating the image.
One of the things you'll be employing, whether or not the software tells you about it, is a file-reduction ratio. The file-reduction ratio is a measure of how much a file's size is reduced in relation to its original size, for example 10:1 or 20:1. It's determined by several factors, including file size, file type and the compression scheme that's used. JPEG files will achieve somewhere between 1.1:1 and 50:1 [source: Florida State University].Text files, meanwhile, can often be reduced in half or more, because most languages make use of a lot of common letter and word combinations (compression succeeds or fails based on, among other things, how much redundant information it can throw out). If, on the other hand, the code making up a file like an MP3 doesn't feature a lot of repeating patterns, it can't be compressed very much. Some compression software, it should be noted, is specifically designed for certain file types, so it will be able to do a better compression job on those than on different types.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark (Reuters) - A massive fire claimed a historic World War Two-era hospital in Arkansas and more than 100 other buildings near Fort Smith, and was still burning on Thursday night.
The Fort Chaffee fire broke out on a 90-acre former medical complex late on Wednesday, the hottest day recorded in Fort Smith history, according to the National Weather Service. Fire officials said the fire's cause was under investigation.
A rash of fires has plagued Arkansas as drought and heat worsened, and heat hit 115 degrees in Fort Smith on Wednesday.
Ray Gosack, Fort Smith's city administrator, said firefighters suffered dire conditions controlling the Chaffee blaze because of the heat and dangerous lead and asbestos in the wooden, dilapidated structures at Fort Chaffee, which served as an Army training center in World War Two.
"With the recent weather conditions of heat, wind and no rain, it was the perfect storm for something like this," he said.
Fort Chaffee possesses a rich history with many movies, including "Biloxi Blues," filmed on the property. It is best known in popular culture as the site where Elvis Presley entered the Army in 1958 and had his hair shorn in a crew cut.
The fire was about a mile away from the historic district that includes the barber shop, Gosack said.
The government began Camp Chaffee in 1941, paying $1.35 million to acquire the land. The first soldiers arrived on December 7, 1941 - Pearl Harbor Day. It served as a training camp as well as a German prisoner-of-war camp.
Fort Chaffee was a processing center for refugees from the Vietnam War in the mid-1970s. It has also housed Cuban refugees and Hurricane Katrina evacuees, but many of the buildings that housed them burned in 2008.
"The hospital ... was a structural record of what military medical care here used to be like," Fort Smith Convention and Visitors Bureau Executive Director Claude Legris told Reuters.
"Although that part of the complex had not been renovated, it's difficult when a natural disaster such as this one eliminates future restoration as an option."
The medical complex had also become a popular spot with paranormal enthusiasts in recent years, with some ghost hunters visiting the hospital every weekend.

Can first world countries spend their overseas aid budgets more effectively?
On March 20th 2013, Great Britain's government firmly backed a legislation that would ensure that 0.7% (~£11 Billion) of Gross National Income will be spent on Overseas Aid.
With many skeptics feeling that this money is often wasted or better spent in more important areas, how would you like to see this money spent to change the perception that International Aid isn't effective?
Myself and Maddy Nash would love to hear your thoughts!

Apr 2 2013: I'm listening to Al Jazeera while I typed that last one and they where talking about India and socialized healthcare objection by the pharmaceutical companies and they do have a strange relationship with aid work. Anyone ever watch The Constant Gardener? Use of the third world as a testing ground and a general misunderstanding of drugs under those conditions.

What Is a Probate Sale?
When a decedent's will is subject to the probate process, there may be estate property that needs to be disposed of by undertaking a probate sale. Each state has varying statutes that regulate the probate process for a decedent's will. Every state has laws for conducting probate sales. It is necessary to consult the jurisdiction's particular laws for probate sales prior to beginning.
Probate Sale Process
At the beginning of the probate sale process, it is required thprat the executor or administrator's authority to enter into and conduct a sale of the estate property is confirmed and verified. The executor or administrator of the estate is the party who is appointed in the will or by the probate court to oversee administration of the decedent's instructions for the estate. Some states do not mandate that the court take part in a probate sale. Other states have a specific process in place for the court to confirm the seller's authority to enter into the parties' exchange. Even if the executor's authority does not have to be confirmed, the executor or administrator is under the obligation to act in a fiduciary capacity and to operate in good faith.
Confirmation by the Court
In some states, probate sales are subject to confirmation by the court. When a purchase within a probate sale is subject to confirmation, the underlying sale, as proposed, may not happen due to contingencies that impact outcomes. There may be a number of contingencies. For example, a buyer may have to place an amount of money into escrow. Or, the sale may be required to be published in the local newspaper for a certain period of time to allow individuals to have notice of the opportunity to openly bid. If the proposed bidder submits the highest bid, his or her bid amount wins and he or she has the right to buy the property in the probate sale.
When real property is part of a probate sale, the sales price must be fair for that particular property. Often, a property appraisal is required for a probate sale. If the appraisal does not meet a value within a set range of the proposed price, the probate sale might be canceled.
When a court is required to confirm probate sales, the process can become delayed and take significantly more time. Often, in states where court confirmation is mandated, it is up to the state's discretion whether real estate commissions are included in the sale.

Behavioral Economics and Climate Change Policy
AbstractThe policy recommendations of most economists are based on the rational actor model of human behavior. Behavior is assumed to be self-regarding, preferences are assumed to be stable, and decisions are assumed to be unaffected by social context or frame of reference. The related fields of behavioral economics, game theory, and neuroscience have confirmed that human behavior is other regarding, and that people exhibit systematic patterns of decision-making that are "irrational" according to the standard behavioral model. This paper takes the position that it is these "irrational" patterns of behavior that uniquely define human decision making and that effective economic policies must take these behaviors as the starting point. This argument is supported by game theory experiments involving humans, closely related primates, and other animals with more limited cognitive ability. The policy focus of the paper is global climate change. The research surveyed in this paper suggests that the standard economic approach to climate change policy, with its almost exclusive emphasis on rational responses to monetary incentives, is seriously flawed. In fact, monetary incentives may actually be counter-productive. Humans are unique among animal species in their ability to cooperate across cultures, geographical space and generations. Tapping into this uniquely human attribute, and understanding how cooperation is enforced, holds the key to limiting the potentially calamitous effects of global climate change.

I made just the stuffing last night for a dinner party and it was a huge hit. I made a few subsitutions. Instead of ground pork, I used sweet apple chicken sausage that I sliced and then quartered, and instead of the apple pulp, I used chopped apples that I sauteed with the sausage to mix in with the stuffing. Everyone loved it, and there were no leftovers. This will become my new stuffing recipie.
Easy Cornbread-Sausage Stuffed Apples

This was the first recipe flop we've had in a long time. The prepackaged stuffing made the dish incredibly salty, and the "Stove Top" flavor overwhelmed everything. Perhaps cutting the stuffing in half might have helped, but we really didn't like this enough to try making it again.

Gerald Green Dunk #2: (Final Score: 32)
Cutting off the mesh of the net was just stupid. Even if he had completed the dunk during the allotted time, it wasn't anything to write home about.
Hanging from the net, grabbing the ball while it goes through and dunking it again is supposed to be impressive?
Not to this guy.
The man who climbed the ladder and put the mesh back in place was more exciting to watch than this nonsense.
James White Dunk #2 (Final Score: 32)
Go watch his YouTube videos. Seriously. Don't watch this crap.
He could have hit a three-pointer and got a higher score. The most hyped-up dunker in recent memory couldn't even complete a dunk on his second attempt?
Are you serious, bro?
Terrence Ross Dunk #2 (Final Score: 49)
The judges were giving out high scores like they were Halloween candy or something.
This 180 degree jam by Ross didn't deserve a "10″. It was a high "9″ at best.
If the dunks leading up to this weren't so pathetic, the judges and commentators probably wouldn't have cared as much as they did.
Kenneth Faried Dunk #2 (Final Score: 50)
It's about damn time.
His off-the-backboard, between-his-legs jam had been done before in a previous dunk contest by Jason Richardson (it was much better back then), but on a night where 80% of the dunks made you want to fall asleep, this at least got everyone out of their seats in a positive way.
If Faried hasn't butchered his first dunk, his second attempt would have easily gotten him in the Finals.
Eric Bledsoe #2 (Final Score: 50)
Now we're talking.
This was the definition of a "classic dunk". There was no story, props or anything of the sort behind it.
Bledsoe showed great power and agility with this reverse windmill slam. Dunks always look better coming from shorter players.
At the very least, it made me forget about his first attempt.
Jeremy Evans Dunk #2 (Final Score: 43)
Evans made dunking two basketballs look better last year when he did it catching them in mid-air after leaping over teammate Gordon Hayward.
This was a safe dunk that got him in the Finals.
Nothing special. Nothing memorable.

Oxford University has rewritten its academic dress code following concerns it was unfair to transgender students, the Guardian reports.
Under the ground-breaking new rules, male Oxford students can sit exams in skirts and female students can wear suits and ties, as they are no longer required to wear clothing specific to their gender.
The regulations, which were passed by the student union and come into force next week, follow a motion by Oxford's Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Queer society (LGBTQ Soc).
Previously, transgender students had to seek special dispensation from exam proctors to wear clothes associated with the opposite gender.
LGBTQ Soc's executive officer, Jess Pumphrey told The Oxford Student newspaper that in future there would be no "need for transgender students to cross-dress to avoid being confronted by invigilators or disciplined during their exam".
Pumphrey said the changes would make the exam experience a lot less stressful for a number of students.
Simone Webb, LGBTQ Soc's president, said it was "an extremely positive step" that was overdue.
"I am of the opinion that it is possible to keep elements of tradition in this way while making them unrestrictive to trans students, genderqueer students, or students who wish to wear a different sub fusc to that which they'd be expected to wear."
The move sets a precedent in the education world, with the possibility of uniformed schools across the country becoming more mindful of transgender pupils when setting dress codes.

It's a LED and an Edison Bulb?
I love, love, love Edison bulbs. Even though most of our apartment is mostly illuminated by a combination of energy efficient CFL and LED bulbs, I've left two occasional lights with the moody orange hint of illumination only an Edison bulb can offer. Or so I thought, until I saw this LED light bulb with an old fashioned glow...
What I am now able to offer is a beautiful lamp that is completely handmade and assembled. It has a glass bulb made by a local glass artist, and a base made by an expert ceramicist. I shape each of the filaments by hand before assembling each of these pieces into a finished lamp. The lamps are powered by an LED light bulb that helps to keep the lamp cool, while shining brightly. The included LED bulb is designed to last for years (the LED bulb is easily replaced after removing a few screws). For this first run, we are offering the base in three classic colors...brown, white, or black. (You will be able to choose your base color after this funding campaign is completed.)
The Alva Kickstarter has already exceeded its goals, but you can jump in with your support and be one of the first to own this unique piece of cutting edge lighting in an old-fashioned form.
2 Comments
Nice idea but that how this can become affordable I don't know. For the price of one of these you could have 25 Edison bulbs. I know this is the funding stage but still... Also, it appears that what is involved in producing one will totally outweigh the benefit (both eco and life cost) of an actual Edison bulb.
Another novel item, but only for that purpose.

Why You Should Be Playing Minecraftentire overworld recreated in Minecraft" or "Full-sized Starship Enterprise built in Minecraft." Incredible, ridiculous things, but they don't really give you any idea of what Minecraft is all about, or why you should be playing it. Like videos of kittens and clips from movies, Youtube videos don't really do Minecraft justice. You should be experiencing this game for yourself.
Minecraft's premise is incredibly simple. Dropped into a hostile world of blocky graphics, you use the tools at your disposal to create. Every surface and object in the world can be manipulated, harvested and combined in countless ways to create building materials, tools, mechanisms, and gadgets. You can join with other players or reign alone in your pixellated kingdom.
You start the game with nothing but your hands, and with a little help from Youtube, you'll quickly figure out what to do. You chop down a tree, construct a workbench, craft a pickaxe and a shovel, and start digging.
If you don't know any better, your first night will be rough. When the sun goes down, the monsters - or mobs - come out, and they're deadly. So your first order of business is to find shelter. You burrow into a mountainside, hurriedly banging a door into place just as the first single-pixel stars begin to creep into view. You light a torch with the charcoal you found as you dug your makeshift home, and you realize that with the mobs roaming the darkness outside, there's no place to go but down into the Earth.
Minecraft can be about many things. For me, much of the joy comes from the exploration. As you dig deeper and deeper into your personal game world (randomly generated each time you start a new file), you'll come across underground lakes, enormous deposits of valuable minerals, and gaping caverns filled with blocky horrors. Most importantly, you'll find materials.
As the name suggests, crafting is central to Minecraft. It's simple and elegant, yet it allows for nearly unlimited possibilities. Iron, stone, wood, and dozens of other materials and objects can be combined to create anything from mine cart tracks to bookshelves brimming with literature.
You will dig, and dig, and dig. And when you've gathered your materials, you'll start to build. Maybe, like me, you'll strive to erect a structure that towers over your world with a throne at the top and fearsome rivers of lava running down and through it. Maybe you'll create a mine cart roller coaster with miles of twists and turns over oceans, mountains and plains. Maybe you'll join with your friends and plan out a sprawling metropolis of skyscrapers, waterfalls and floating pavilions.
And if gathering materials and fighting off mobs is too much for you, launch the game up in Creative mode and just get straight to the crafting. Even if you're not the creative type, simply entering random servers and experiencing what other players have created is more than enough fun.
Minecraft is the perfect antidote to the modern gaming blues. There are no tutorials. In standard gameplay modes, there are rules, and there are dire consequences for ignoring those rules. Digging recklessly can land you with a face full of lava or a drop through the bottom of the world, and in both cases, every item you were carrying will be permanently lost. There's nothing that can't be regained or rebuilt, but on the flip side, you can carry a lot of stuff.
At its finest, Minecraft is the epitome of a limitless toolset; if you can think it, you can create it. Yet the game world itself is highly stylized. Water, electricity and lava flow freely. Fire is a real danger - days of work can be lost to a single, careless flame under the wrong conditions.
The game is being developed (present tense because it's constantly being added to) by a single man, Markus "Notch" Persson. Here's a memorable quote: "If something ever doesn't feel fun, I'll remove it. I believe that I can combine enough fun, accessibility and building blocks for this game to be a huge melting pot of emergent gameplay." That's called game design, folks, and Notch's completely independent nature allows his development to be as emergent as the gameplay itself. For Halloween, he added portals to Hell, because he felt like it.
Minecraft is Legos. Minecraft is freedom. It's the underdog, it's the cool kid, and it's the indie darling lottery mega jackpot winner of the year. But don't dismiss it out of hand. There's truly something really special about it. Try it out, and I dare you not to get sucked in.

Tag: politics
Between political partisanship and the long-running recession, federal funding for science education and research has had some difficult years. Despite the political gridlock that exists in Washington, lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have generally been supportive of strategic science funding in the interest of national competitiveness. To that point, the House Science, Space, and Technology Committee Read more…
Prominent figures in government, national labs, universities and other research organizations are worried about the effect that sequestration and budget cuts may have on federally-funded R&D in general, and on HPC research in particular. They have been defending the concept in hearings and in editorial pages across the country. It may be a tough argument to sell.
With the looming US elections just days away, it's worth considering what effect the choice for President will have on federal science and technology policies for the next four years. While this is hardly a hot button issue in most voters' minds, these policies will have a much bigger impact on the quality of people's lives than the political soundbites currently being sprayed across the public airwaves.

VCRC Imaging Protocol for Magnetic Resonance and Positron Emission Tomography in Large-vessel Vasculitis (Takayasu`s Arteritis):Development as Clinical Trial Outcome Measures
Assessing disease activity in people with Takayasu`s arteritis is difficult, as most people
with the disease do not exhibit visible, measurable symptoms. Combination positron emission
tomography/computed axial tomography (PET/CT) is a particularly sensitive, accurate scanning
method that may improve researchers` ability to evaluate people with the disease. This study
will determine the effectiveness of PET/CT in assessing disease activity in people with

For only $0.89, you can buy an MP3 of John Cage's 1952 composition, 4'33".
Merry Christmas, steelopus.
Some might think I'm crazy, but I don't think it's necessarily a waste of money to buy a recorded performance of 4'33". There are often interesting things that you can pick out of "the silence," so long as the recording is of decent quality.
With that said… I think it'd be far more rewarding for people to perform it themselves. Grab a stopwatch and stand somewhere and just listen to the world spinning beneath your feet. I imagine it's a lot like meditation, but rather than looking inward you are intensely focusing on the noises that the world around you is making.
Here's a link to my performance of 4'33", from my senior recital back in 2001.

Has Jeff Ireland learned from mistakes?
There's only one question for Dolphins General Manager Jeff Ireland on this first day of the NFL off-season, and it's not why he still has this chance, what he'll do with $48 million and five high draft picks to spend or whether the next few months will define his football reputation, once and for all.

A Look at the Atlanta Braves, Both Past and Present
[powered by WordPress.]
The Braves shored up their rotation yesterday by signing Tom Glavine to a one year, $8 million deal that will probably mean the former Brave will retire a Brave. Glavine turned down his $13 million option with the Mets and he'll now be much closer to home and more importantly, in a Braves uniform.
Glavine's role will be a little different though. No longer the ace, he'll be in the middle of the rotation and reunited with John Smoltz along with Tim Hudson and Chuck James. I like the way the rotation is shaping up and even with the departure of Andruw Jones, you still have four very solid sticks in Chipper Jones, Brian McCann, Jeff Francoeur and Mark Teixeira. In fact at this stage of things, I'd have to say the Braves are the favorites to win the division.
The Braves acquired a guy who could possibly compete for the vacancy out in centerfield yesterday when they traded relief pitcher Oscar Villarreal to the Astros for Josh Anderson. While Anderson might have lost his prospect tag because of his age, he's a speedy outfielder who, if given the time in the majors, could steal 30-40 bases a season like he did in the minors. He's stolen as many as 79 bases in a single year in the minors.
A .373. career slugging percentage in the minors isn't all that encouraging though and it'll be interesting to see how that translates when he gets a chunk of time at the big league level. He did hit well when he got a cup of coffee with the Astros.
The wild card will be Jordan Schafer. If he's ready, it could make this deal a little pointless. Still, if Anderson can keep the spot warm for part of 2008, it'll go a long way towards the Braves getting back into the playoff picture.
Baseball America unveiled their list of top ten Braves prospects yesterday and at the top of the list is a pair of outfielders. Jordan Schafer checks in at number one while Jason Heyward comes in at number two. Heyward was the team's top draft pick this past June. The top pitching prospect is Jair Jurrjens, who the Braves picked up in their trade for Edgar Renteria. Jurrjens is major league ready and he'll most likely find a spot in the back of the Braves rotation next season.
Brandon Jones and Gorkys Hernandez round out the top five and both are outfielders so the Braves have somewhat of a glut there. Still, Jones is almost ready for some extended time in the majors while Hernandez was the other guy the Braves got from the Tigers for Edgar Renteria. Hernandez was the Midwest League's MVP and he also led that league in stolen bases.
So the Braves definitely have some exciting players making their way up through the minors. It'll be fun to see them as they rise through the ranks.

Korean-Spiced Pork Chops & Slaw
From EatingWell: May/June 2012
Chili powder and garlic, both of which star in Korean cuisine, season grilled pork chops and a cool, tangy slaw. If you can find Korean chili powder use it, otherwise conventional chili powder is fine.
Makes: 4 servings, 1 pork chop & 1 1/2 cups slaw each

- 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon canola oil, divided
- 3 small cloves garlic, minced, divided
- 4 teaspoons chili powder, divided
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon fish sauce or reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- 6 cups thinly sliced napa cabbage
- 4 radishes, cut into matchsticks
- 4 scallions, thinly sliced into 2-inch lengths
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 4 bone-in pork chops, 1/2-3/4 inch thick (about 2 pounds), trimmed
- Preheat grill to medium.
- Whisk vinegar, 2 tablespoons oil, 1 minced garlic clove, 2 teaspoons chili powder, sugar, fish sauce (or soy sauce) and cayenne (if using) in a large bowl until the sugar is dissolved. Add cabbage, radishes and scallions; toss to coat.
- Place the remaining garlic on a cutting board; sprinkle with the remaining 2 teaspoons chili powder and salt. Mash into a paste with the side of a chef's knife. Combine the paste and the remaining 1 teaspoon oil in a small bowl. Rub both sides of pork chops with the paste.
- Oil the grill rack (see Tip). Grill the pork chops, turning once, until cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Serve the chops with the slaw.
Tips & Notes
- Tip: Oiling a grill rack before you grill foods helps ensure that the food won't stick. Oil a folded paper towel, hold it with tongs and rub it over the rack. (Do not use cooking spray on a hot grill.) When grilling delicate foods like tofu and fish, it is helpful to coat the food with cooking spray.

Remember: At the End of the Day, It's Yourself You Answer To
I try to remember to admire the things I love about myself, to flirt if I want to, to smile for no reason at all. I remember that, like Dr. Angelou said, "I have a certain way of being in this world, and I shall not, I shall not be moved." I remember that in the end, always in the end, it's myself I answer to at the end of the day.

United Kingdom
The tour guide was humourous and very entertaining, got to see lots of beautiful sites on the outskirts of Vienna and the underground lake is a must see!
Excellent guide. Nice experience.
Excellent tour and it was full fun. Guide was very knowledgable and having good communication skills in 3 different languages. I loved it and wish to visit again.
I loved the trip. The places we went to were interesting, especially the abbey and the cave. Apart from the places of visit, you see some of Austria's nature and the lovely villages neighboring the city of Vienna.
Interesting trip and something for everyone.
Super.Must do.
We really enjoyed this tour. It was so nice after navigating the city by ourselves for a few days to have someone take over and show us the sights. I would recommend this tour to get outside the city and see some of the countryside.

This trip is a must for visitors to Vienna! The beauty of the woods is breathtaking. The stops we had enroute in tiny villages and especially at . Mayerling was greatly appreciated. But the highlight of this trip was the Sea Grotte. This enormous underground lake is fascinating! We greatly enjoyed the boat trip on this lake. Definitely not to be missed!
The trip was very nice. The guide was superb.

Charming morning out of Vienna. Beautiful landscape and historic buildings. The See Grote was an unique experience.

Math is hard (42:50 - 38:32 = 4:18, not "over 5 minutes!").
I do agree, though, that as a moderator, Jim Lehrer really sucked. He couldn't shut up either candidate when their time was up (resulting in one segment of the debate not happening at all because the hour-and-a-half time limit was rigid).
He also didn't ask a single question about social issues (same-sex marriage, Roe v Wade, de-funding Planned Parenthood) where there are very stark difference between the candidates. When Mitt Romney started talking about liberty, it seemed like a perfect time for Obama to point out that Mitt wanted to take away liberties if he's elected.
Maybe that's the section of the debate that was eliminated because neither candidate could stop making the same points over and over again long enough for Lehrer to move the debate along.
Hopefully those topics will be covered in the October 16th "Town Hall" debate, where questions will come from people who describe themselves as "undecided voters," because the final debate on October 22nd is dedicated to foreign policy. Tonight was the domestic policy night, but really only focused on the economy and health care.
Also, hopefully Obama won't spend the next debate looking down at his podium while Mitt talks. That looked bad.

The Porsche Panamera is one of those cars that's a little tricky to make body kits for. Pegged as a luxury sports saloon, tuners have to be wary of being a tad aggressive on giving the Panamera a makeover that loses the car's high-class luster. Fortunately, German Special Customs managed to dodge that proverbial land line with their latest offering, the Panamera Turbo Nighthawk.
GSC's Nighthawk program offers a simple yet classy body kit for the Panamera, one that's careful not to go overboard with any of its components. The body kit is comprised of a new front spoiler lip, a vented carbon fiber hood, new side gills, sport side skirts, a modified rear diffuser, a far spoiler, and last but certainly not least, a new quad exhaust system.
With the new components fitted into the Panamera Turbo, GSC went with a matte gray finish on the car's body, creating a visual chemistry of matte gray and carbon fiber that doesn't exactly blow up our eyes in a hue of rainbow colors.
Such programs are what looks great for a car like the Porsche Panamera Turbo. If it were any other Porsche's , say a 911, then we wouldn't mind if the color looked more visually eye-catching. But this set-up works for the Panamera Turbo and certainly, we're fans of what GSC managed to do to the German sports saloon.

so i put on makeup
in the hopes that one day
i might be beautiful
They said i was fat
so i stopped eating
in the hopes that my waist would shrink
and Their hearts would grow
They told me i was weird
so i tried to change myself
distancing me from the girl
i have known my whole life
They told me i didn't deserve life
so i began to hurt myself
in the hopes that somebody would see
that i'm in pain
and that i would become worthy
i took Their scorn
and i tried my best
to become the person
They said I'd never be
but yet in the end
i failed tragically
hating the fact that i'm
who i am
They told me i should die
so one day i finally decided
i'd try to grant Their last wish
to finally get something right
but now i see
that I am worth something
That their words
Are nothing on me
From now on I'll only be
What I was meant to be
And I won't change
For anybody anymore
they will not control my life
I will not let them dictate
my thoughts or my actions
because I will not stoop down a

Another method of pulling teeth.

I guess that's one way to do it.

- Student:
We were making jello today for the Fourth of July and one of my students was getting a little crazy while we were cleaning up.
Me: Are you just so excited from making jello?! Or what?!
Student A: Yeah. I'm just excited from making cello.
Student B: There's no such thing as a cello!
Me: Yes there is! It's an instrument!
Student A: Oh, Miss A. You're so silly sometimes.
Oh man. Where are the music teachers??!!
