SheZow Transgender Superhero
Warning to all parents! This Saturday, June 1, the premiere of the transgender superhero show "SheZow" will air on Hub at 12:30 p.m. ET/11:30 a.m. CT/9:30 a.m. PT. The media is determined to pollute the minds of our children and there is no better way to desensitize them than through a cartoon program. Everyone knows children are drawn to animated shows; both boys and girls love superheroes. This character especially will appeal to both boys and girls since the superhero represents both genders by cross dressing and being transgendered. This dude becomes the FEMALE superhero SheZow dressed in pink and purple.
The Hub network, co-owned by Discovery and Hasbro (children's toy company), produced the "SheZow" show which follows the adventures of a 12-year-old boy named Guy who uses a magic ring from his deceased Aunt to transform himself into a crime-fighting girl. Yes, you read that correctly. When Guy says the magic words "You go girl!" he becomes SheZow the superhero.
This is just another attempt by the gay, lesbian and transgender community to indoctrinate our children into accepting their lifestyles.
The Hub currently shows many children's shows like, My Little Pony, Strawberry Shortcake and Chuck and Friends, which are all very popular among young TV viewers and their parents. The target audience for the Hub is children aged two to eleven.
Even the chief executive of the Hub, Margaret Loesch, initially had the same reaction that most parents will have. Loesch commented, "When I first heard about the show, my reaction was 'Are you out of your minds?' Then I looked at it, and I thought, 'This is just funny.'" There are several possible reasons why she may have changed her opinion concerning this gender-bending program for kids.
There is no doubt this superhero character will confuse kids. Children desire to be just like superheroes and will mimic a superhero's every action, even to the point of dressing up in costumes to resemble the characters as much as possible. It won't be long before little boys are saying, "I want to be a girl, so I can help people and save the world!"
Christian parents don't need a TV show to contribute to what might be a real problem for some children. Loving your child is to teach them right from wrong and find help when they need it. We are all sinners, but we try to do better and get help when and where we need it in our lives. Thousands of Christian counselors and pastors are available all across the country to help anyone who is struggling with any kind of sin including homosexuality, gender identity disorder, gender confusion or gender dysphoria. If you or someone you know needs help finding a Christian counselor go to www.AACC.net for more information.
Please send your email to oppose the new show "SheZow" and strongly encourage Hub (Discovery and Hasbro) to drop all plans to air this program.

No surprise here, hunter's ALWAYS get the shaft. Even when we enjoyed our godlikeness during path 2.0 before BC hit, it got nerfed within a week, and even with the change then, we wouldn't be too well off once we hit 70 since the scaling at that point sucked.
GG Blizz, way to continue proving that the hunter class was just an afterthought.
What on EARTH are you smoking.
"Hunters always get the shaft"?
Hunters have mage-level DPS, wear chain, have a pet that can tank and do damage, can dispell...and oh golly gee, QQ, those that don't try to make sure they have decent mana pools can't just cruise along anymore.
Cry me a river.
Go roll a mage some time, seriously.

$356 million partnership could mean big things for Brevard
By Chris Fish
BREVARD - Apple's plans for the Melbourne-based mobile and networking security company AuthenTec remain uncertain, and their potential partnership now lies in the hands of AuthenTec's shareholders.
"Neither company is going to say (what the buy means for job creation and technology use), since the two companies remain independent until after we receive customary regulatory and AuthenTec shareholder approval of the merger," said Brent Dietz, director of corporate communications at AuthenTec.
In order to move forward with the deal, AuthenTec, which specializes in encryption technology, fingerprint sensors and identity management software for mobile devices and computers, has invited shareholders to attend a special meeting to consider and vote upon the potential merger of the two companies Thursday, Oct. 4 at 10 a.m. at the offices of Alston & Bird LLP, 1180 W. Peachtree St., 15th floor, in Atlanta, Ga.
According to the company, the $356 million merger cannot be completed until it gets the green light from the majority of AuthenTec's shareholders.
The Oct. 4 meeting will include a vote on the merger agreement and approval of the compensation that may become payable to AuthenTec's named executive officers in connection with the merger.
"The AuthenTec Board of Directors unanimously recommends that (the shareholders) vote 'for' approval of the proposal to adopt the merger agreement," said Lawrence Ciaccia, chief executive officer of AuthenTec, in a press release to shareholders.
In the release, Mr. Ciaccia emphasized that each vote made by the shareholders is crucial for the potential partnership.
"(The shareholders') vote is very important, regardless of the number of shares of company stock (he or she) owns," he said. "The failure to vote (their) shares will have the same effect as a vote 'against' the approval of the proposal to adopt the merger agreement."
Mr. Ciaccia said shareholders who cannot make the scheduled meeting in Atlanta may submit their vote by accessing the website or mailing their vote to company headquarters.
If the transaction is approved by shareholders, AuthenTec will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Apple Inc.

Top Teachers: Mesa Hinkle
Glen Allen E.S., first grade
Mesa Hinkle found her inspiration as a student inside a Henrico County elementary school. Today, she shares it with her own students inside a Henrico County elementary school.
Hinkle has spent 29 years as part of the county's public school system – 13 as a student at Trevvett, Brookland Middle and Hermitage High and 16 as a teacher.
Now in her sixth year as a first-grade teacher at Glen Allen Elementary, following one year at Dumbarton E.S. and nine at Carver E.S., Hinkle is as excited as ever about what she does and about the children she teaches.
"It's really special to watch them grow from September though June," she said. "It's amazing to see the progress that they make with their reading and writing. They're so enthusiastic, and they get excited about everything and anything."
Hinkle recalled being called to a career in teaching when she was a first-grade student herself, in Suzanne Boswell's class at Trevvett Elementary years ago.
"She had a love of learning and was able to present things in different ways for different learners," Hinkle said. "She made learning fun."
Now, Hinkle is the one passing on those lessons to her own first-graders.
"She is a loving, guiding, nurturing teacher and it shows in her daily instruction and interactions with her students," one nominator wrote. "She makes learning fun while challenging her students to be the best they can be."
Said another: "Her high expectations and dedication to the success of each student has impacted my son, who is currently in her class. She is willing to try new things and use a variety of approaches to meet his needs."
Hinkle stays in regular contact with the parents of each student and uses small-group differentiated instruction as a way to effectively reach students who learn at different speeds or who have different needs. Her positive attitude and frequent encouragement to her students were cited by several nominators as strengths.
"As a former teacher, I recognize how positive she is in her dealings with children - accentuating the positive every day," one nominator wrote of Hinkle. "The reaction of my grandson is obvious. All teachers should have the commitment to their profession and respect for children that Mesa has."

Getting a 'mouf'-ful
Boka Kantina exceeds its strong food truck reputation
Already a fan of Boka fare from outdoor events with the Tako Truck, I was delighted to learn of the new restaurant, and eager to see if its reputation held up after putting down brick-and-mortar roots.
Would the food lose its zest if I wasn't enjoying it in the great outdoors? Would it seem pedestrian served from an ordinary kitchen instead of a truck?
Would the tacos be less satisfying as an antidote to normal lunch hunger – instead of being ingested to stave off desperate hunger after a long afternoon of crowds, sun, and tedious lines? > Read more.

China tourists push Hong Kong Disneyland to record profit
Visitors take photographs in front of a character from Disneyland's Toy Story theme in Hong Kong on November 5, 2011 - by Laurent Fievet
The once-struggling park said profit more than doubled to HK$242 million (US$31.2 million) in the last fiscal year that ended September, compared with US$14.06 million in the same period of 2012, with a record attendance of 7.4 million visitors.
It said the increase in attendance was largely due to more mainland tourists visiting.
"Asia is experiencing strong economic growth. Disposable income around Asia is improving and that has stimulated the tourism industry within Asia," Hong Kong Disneyland managing director Andrew Kam told a news conference.
"I don't have a crystal ball... but as long as disposable income keeps increasing, the demand for outbound travel certainly will continue" to grow in mainland China and the rest of the region, he said.
Kam said the theme park's two existing hotels had an overall occupancy rate of more than 90 percent for the past three years.
He said the new hotel would add 750 rooms to the existing capacity of 1,000 and would require a new investment of HK$4.26 billion, partly funded by the Hong Kong government, the park's largest shareholder.
Hong Kong Disneyland is 52 percent-owned by the city's government.
The park reported its first-ever annual profit since its 2005 opening in the 2012 fiscal year, totalling US$14.06 million, while attendance stood at 6.7 million visitors.
The new hotel would open as early as 2017, he said.

Susan was my best friend. but i try never to think about her. it's only on certain nights, when i'm all alone in my room, that i remember...
scared yet.....*giggles*......>
it was during the christmas holidays last year when Susan asked me to stay at her house overnight. she lived in a big, gloomy house set a long way back from the road. and she didn't want to be alone there at night. her parents had gone to visit some friends and wouldn't be back until the next afternoon. Susan said we could have a really good time without her parents around.
and we did. At about 12:00 we decides to get dressed for bed. Susan had been given a velvet dressing gown for christmas that ha d a thick furry collar. it was blood-red velvet and she looked like someone from a Dracular film in ti. we had been watching tV in the living room, but then we turned it off. we hadn't noticed it before, but now the stairs seemed too big and almost sinister.
we started to go up stairs. then, all of a sudden, we both ran up the steps to Susan's room as if something was coming up from behind us. after we closed the door, we laughed at ourselves. but neither one of us wanted to leave the room again. we sat down and started to talk. that's when we first heard the noise. it sounded like somebody sharpening a knife on an old grindstone.
we stopped talking and looked at each other, feeling really scared inside. there was just a thick silence in the room. suddenly, Susan started to laugh. she said she had heard a sound like that in the house before. she said it was probably the sutters or something. that made me feel better and we staarted to talk again.
then we heard it again!
the sound made my teeth vibrate as if somebody's fingernails were scratching on a blackboard. but this sound was much worse. it shrieked up from the dark, lonely rooms below us.
Susan got a wild look in her eyes, as though something horrible had come into her head. before i could catch her, she ran out of the room, slamming the door shut and flicking off the light switch. i heard her footsteps as she ran down the first flight of stairs, and then they stopped. i sat in the dark, sick with fright. i called out Susan's name; but my voice was answered by silence. i didn't want to stay in the dark room alone, but even more i didn't want to go out into that other darkness.
i heard it again, that terrible sound. then i heard Susan's footsteps, moving down the next and final flight of stairs. she went more slowly, as if she really didn't want to go. i heard her reach the bottom. i waited in the room, wondering what Susan was doing. i told myself she must be al right. you see, the noise had stopped right after i heard her reach the bottom of the stairs. it didn't come after that. Susan had probable just fixed the shutter. Perhapd she had known for certain about that all the tim. she had just acted strangely to scare me. perhaps she was sitting on the steps now, laughing at me.
i got up and started towards the door to turn the light on. but a feeling of fear swept over me that held me back like a hand against my throat. i decided i would wait where i was until Susan returned. i would wait where i was until her parents returned, if necessary. nothing could make me leave my darkness for that darker unknown outside room.
time passed. my ear's strained for a sound and my nerves tingled at imagined shadows. then i heaard a slow, shuffling noise on the bottom step. was it Susan? it had to be. Yet the footsteps seemed too heavy , too deliberate. my heart began to pound and for a moment i lost control of my imagination and i shook with terror.
then suddenly, i knew what i would do. Susan's new dressing gown with the furry collar! i would wait for the dorr to open and then i would reach out and touch the person's neck. if i felt the furry collar, i would know it was Susan - and i would get her back for scaring me like this. if i didn't feel the furry collar... well, then there was nothing i could do.
the shuffeling footsteps had reached the second flight of stairs. i forced my own feet to take steps to get near the door of the room. i felt the skin srawl on my back as the footsteps reached the top step and moved down the corridor. i braced myslef. the door creaked slightly as it swung open. i reached my arms out and hoped
rest in results..................>
My fingers closed around the think fur of Susan's collar. MY body drained with relief. i moved my hands up to touch Susan's face. i was so happy; i no longer wanter to scare her. but as my fingers moved up form the furry collar, there was nothing.
Only rhe bloody dtump where Susanls head had been.
cool huh! tell my please if you like ti, so i'll post more up. thanx for reading and don't forget to msg.
Tales For The Midnight Hour: The Furry Collarhey this is a horror thing but i ain't sure who wrote it or what, if you guy's like it and i get alot of feed back about it, then i'll post up some more. i got heaps of 'em and only god knows where they came from.
Susan was my best friend. but i try never to think about her. it's only on certain nights, when i'm all alone in my room, that i remember...

It's astonishing to think that in the course of only a few days (and with the Challenge not even "officially" begun) the Spirit of America Blogger Challenge has received over $20,000 for their excellent cause. I'm very pleased to see some Anchoress readers contributing – I knew you guys wouldn't let my small donation sit there and be lonely! I knew you'd be generous! Some of the "teams" and alliances, and of course the much larger blogs have raised staggering amounts of money, and that's just so impressive, and it says a lot about the "blogging community!"
As an Anchoress, of course, I must remain alone, so no teams for me! If we break $100.00 though, I will be sure to give the tee-shirt and cap to a young woman in our neighborhood who has recently joined the Reserves!
If anyone is looking to spread a little holiday cheer or get in a last-minute tax-deduction, you can still donate here!

Chicago officials say 46.2 million tourists visited the city last year, a near-record.
In a statement Tuesday, Mayor Rahm Emanuel says the strong numbers show that the city's marketing efforts are paying off.
In 2012, 45 million U.S. visitors came to Chicago, up 6.2% from the year before. Meanwhile, international tourism climbed to 1.2 million people, up 3.2% from 2011.
The latest figures were just shy of the tourism record set in 2007.
Emanuel's set a goal of having 50 million visitors a year by 2020.

by Pamela Jones, MA
Job stress is not uncommon. After all most jobs require at least 40 hours a week of your concentration, effort, and energy. Brief bursts of stress may help motivate some people but constant stress can wear you down. This type of stress not only effects your mood and outlook but may play a role in your physical well being. General stress has been shown to affect your sleep, weaken your immune system, and even contribute to long term health problems like heart disease.
US and European researchers reviewed previous studies to look for the risk of heart disease specifically associated with work stress. The study, published in Lancet, found that there was a connection between job stress and the development of heart disease.
The meta-analysis included 13 cohort studies. These studies had assessed level of job stress and development of heart disease in 197,473 adults, with an average age of 42 years. Job stress was determined by questionnaires that include questions about workload, conflicting demands, amount of time at work, and amount of control over work environment. Over seven and a half years 1.2% had a heart attack or death due to heart attack and 15% reported work stress.
Participants that reported job stress were more likely to have heart disease than those that did not report job stress. This risk existed even when age and gender were considered.
A meta-analysis can be a reliable form of research since it combines several smaller studies to create a large pool of data. The more participants, the more accurate the results may be. However, the meta-analysis is only as reliable as the individual studies that make it up. In this case, the meta-analysis was made with cohort studies which are a type of observational study and a less reliable form of research. This type of study can only show an association between to things and cannot show a cause and effect relationship. Also, there are many factors that can influence the outcomes that cannot be controlled for. In addition, 10 of the 13 of the cohort studies were unpublished, which means they were not scrutinized by fellow researchers. These factors may decrease the reliability of theses results.
Any stress has been shown to have a negative impact on your health. It can have a short term impact like poor sleep or susceptibility to colds. Or, it can lead long term problems like heart disease. Job stress can be difficult to change because you are not always in control of work options. In fact, a lack of control is a stressor in itself. What exactly causes stress can vary from person to person. If you are feeling stressed at work, look for opportunities for relaxation. Make the most of your breaks. Avoid work talk, stretch, move out of your work area, or sit with your eyes closed for some time. If you're feeling a high level of stress, walk it off. A short stroll can help you reset. Work with your manager or human resource department to help decrease stress in your environment. An active role in your environment can help you feel more in control.

I find myself looking more often for reviews as I look for things I need to buy. And I'm routinely trying to read through the reviews, or between the lines, to weed out the in-house hype reviews on the one hand, and the raging angry maniac on the other.
Thanks on this topic to Jackie Huba of the Church of the Customer Blog for her post earlier this month sharing results of a study on word of mouth pass-along among adults. That's on Online vs. offline word of mouth. She has some detailed statistics on word of mouth, quotes on research, and some good comments on available research. She notes that adults who conduct a lot of online research are much more likely to share results — facts and opinions — than those who don't.
She also notes some conflicting results, and adds more flavor with her own additional comments. For example, she cites a Keller Fay study that says:
… 75% of word of mouth occurs in person, 17% on the phone, and just 7% online using instant messages, chat rooms, email and blogs.
That study apparently gets substantially different results from a study conducted by BIG research, which indicates a lot more online behavior. I like the skeptical addition, such as:
Here's what I consider a flaw with that thinking: The frame of credibility. Being credible isn't dependent solely upon the medium in which a recommendation occurs. Credibility comes from an established position of trust, whether it's in-person or online, or from a preponderance of independent evidence, such as a collection of reviews on a product site like Amazon.
This is a good post on an important topic, with good data as well.

United States Tax Code Sections 611, 613, 613A
This is a 15% deduction allowance against taxable income utilized by independent producers and royalty owners. Its limited to the first 1,000 barrels/day of production. Congress eliminated percentage depletion for major oil companies more than 30 years ago.
Why its important: Percentage depletion has been available to independent producers since 1954 as an incentive to stimulate continued investment in a high-risk industry. It provides the capital and outside investment small producers need to maintain marginal wells. These wells make up 20% of our production.

Hi everyone, i'm trying to research and find out the differences between Korean, Chinese and Japanese soy sauce and the differences it will make to a dish.
I've only tried the Chinese and Japanese ones. But i'm very intrigued by the Korean soy sauces. Does Korean soy sauce taste differently or if they make any differences to the dishes i do?

U.S. Xpress driver wins a Freightliner
Scot Hays, a driver with more than 17 years of experience with U.S. Xpress Enterprises, received a 2007 Freightliner truck after being named the first grand prize winner of the company's Idle Reduction Sweepstakes.
Hays was chosen in a random drawing from among 150 top qualifiers in the contest. The company will make payments on the truck for two years, and Hays has agreed to become an independent contractor leased to the carrier during that period.
"This is the greatest thing that has happened in my career," said Hays, a member the U.S. Xpress Million Miler Safe Driving Club. "I was blown away when I heard my name called as the winner of the truck. I have talked to several contractors over the years here, and I know that I am going to have the support to be successful. I can't wait to get started."
U.S. Xpress President John White said all the top qualifiers received cash prizes for their efforts during the contest, which will be repeated quarterly. "Through our Idle Reduction Sweepstakes, U.S. Xpress has been able to create an additional focus on cutting down engine idle which also offered a valuable business opportunity for our drivers," he said.

Groups debate bills for heavier trucks
Teamsters General President Jim Hoffa joined Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.), Rep. James McGovern (D-Mass.), safety advocates and family members of highway accident victims May 3 to endorse the Safe Highways and Infrastructure Preservation Act. The legislation would restrict the size and weight of commercial trucks on U.S. highways.
SHIPA also would extend the freeze on truck size and weight limits on the interstate system to also apply to the National Highway System. The bill's supporters, which include the Association of American Railroads, argue that large trucks are more dangerous to drive and damage highways and bridges and that heavier trucks will only accelerate highway and bridge wear and tear.
The Teamsters point to a recent nationwide poll that found that 89 percent of the general public strongly opposes larger trucks. The union also notes that half of the nation's bridges are more than 40 years old, with one in four structurally deficient or functionally obsolete.
The American Trucking Associations, which supports competing legislation that would allow states to increase weight limits on interstate highways, responded. "In the two years since ATA unveiled its 18-point safety agenda, a comprehensive approach to addressing both primary and secondary causes of highway crashes, these alleged 'safety' groups have not made a serious proposal to address trucking safety," said Bill Graves, ATA president and chief executive officer. "Their fix is to arbitrarily cut working hours to advance labor's agenda, and further restrict truck size and weight to advance the railroad's agenda."
The Senate Safe and Efficient Transportation Act of 2011 (S. 747) would give states the option to allow tractor-trailers weighing up to 97,000 pounds access to its interstate highways, provided owners equip trucks with a sixth axle to preserve braking distances and pavement wear patterns, and agree to pay a supplemental user fee. There's an identical House bill, H.R. 763.

Have you made this pattern?
Share with the Craftsy community.
There are lots of Boot Toppers in the shops at the moment. Thought I'd play around a bit and see what I could come up with. This is a super easy pattern and great for beginners. I am also selling a crochet equivalent of this style.
No set gauge. The Boot Topper can made larger or smaller with the addition of stitches (2 at a time) to fit other sizes.
I was taught how to knit when I was 3 1/2 and I learnt to crochet when I was 11 from a vintage book while on a family holiday.

Who?? Part-1 The American League
6/27/12 in MLB | This_is_Rick | 265 respect
Look under the coffee cup and beyond the story told, perhaps, you will find these three players to be the real culprits of success, thus far, in the American League.
1.) Matt Harrison - In the time it takes for you to Google who this guy is, he probably added another quality start to his already solid pitching resume this season. While Yu Darvish and additions like Roy Oswalt have cluttered the media pages in the greatest state-ever-TEXAS - only if you are from there - Matt Harrison has quietly reigned as the consistent man in the Rangers rotation. The lefty has stacked up 10 wins to only 3 losses, and has kept a decent e.r.a, sub-4, in a park where United Airlines sponsors the baseballs. Admittedly or not, regards to the right-handed population of the world, most managers, coaches and leaders of fantasy squads will preach that you can never have enough left-handed hurlers. Done with your Google search? If the Rangers are to remain tops in the west, they will need strong pitching down the stretch to compliment their hitting. He may not get on the All-Star team, but Matt Harrison has proven that he can be a reliant factor in the equation that has the Rangers winning the pennant as the answer.
2.) Alejandro De Azo - Ask any R.B.I guru and they will tell you one common necessity, " I need men on base in order to complete my job." While the south-side crew has slowly pulled themselves to the top of the A.L Central, Alejandro De Aza has remained a hidden gem standing in front of the line....up. As the lead-off hitter, he has been the consistent bat at the top of the White Sox order, hitting a solid .289 and providing 48 runs scored. Like most overlooked players, media-savoy gents like the new coach, Ventura, and a trending Paul Konerko have suggested at the efforts provided by De Aza, but the cameras did not pan the locker room to get a visual. If the White Sox want to make it back to post-season glory, sans Ozzie, they will have to rely on key offense and team hitting, not unproven trades like Kevin Youkilis. A spark at the top of the line-up is what teams crave, and rarely discover. Remember this, Jake Taylor's bunt would have looked really stupid if Willie Mays-Hayes wasn't on base. Teams need that lead off man, and De Aza has the makings of a good one. "How you doin'??"
3.) Mark Trumbo - Depending on the level of baseball fan you score yourself to be, Trumbo may or may not register as the best kept secret in the American Leagues. While the Angels faithful, and star-happy media of the So-Cal area, fight and drool over the hopeful turn around of Albert Pujols, Trumbo is carrying the the offensive output, solely. At a .316 average and 17 bombs - one that I witnessed, live, that literally chipped the rocks in center-field of Angels stadium when it landed - Trumbo's offense has kept the Halos relevant in a division that can easily become a one-team show. He can play multiple positions in the filed and his bat control, mixed with power, allows Scioscia to hit him in different spots of the line-up. I seriously doubt that Albert's struggles will suddenly cause pitchers to chuck belt-high straight-bait to him, and pitch around Trumbo, so he will have the benefit of Albert's persona, at least for the next few months, and get the good pitches to hit. If the Angels want to keep up with the Rangers they will need Mark Trumbo to continue swinging a hot bat, and as long as he stays within his role, and not morph into a swing-from-the-shoes-savior, the Angels will have a chance to wish upon a star and see their neighbor, Mickey Mouse, real soon.
Take that Kaiser Soze!!

A long, and storied career with the Fairbanks North Star Borough School District has officially ended with the retirement of long time administrator Clarence Bolden.
On Friday evening, Bolden and his wife, Margurette Bolden where the guests of honor at a ceremony held in their honor at the Westmark Fairbanks Hotel.
Earlier this year, Bolden, who served as the Executive Director of Human Resources with the district, stated he was retiring.
FNSB School Superintendent Pete Lewis, in January, announced the appointment of Traci Gatewood to succeed Bolden in the position.
Bolden called it "the end of an incredible ride," but says he and his wife will remain in the Fairbanks area.
"I'm really privileged to have been here," said Bolden. "It's been a fantastic time at the school district. You know, it's Fairbanks, it's the community. It's just great.
We're going to take some time visiting grandchildren down in Georgia, then it's back to Fairbanks. We love it here. It's home."

Update: Wow 5000 views! Thanks everybody for your support. I've Just reached 2,500 frames of the actual flash and its about 1:24 min. so its coming along nicely. So I hope everyone had a happy new year and don't forget to vote 5 and recommend this for the Madness Collection. :3 Cheers!
A few months ago I read somewhere about 'Wouldn't it be a cool idea to mix madness with Portal?' (which was actual from my buddy Tasers, I know I just forgot, and yes hes the guy who did the Dad episodes) Well I took it upon myself to expand on this and bring you a really cool flash. THIS IS ONLY A TRAILER, I made it after I was so impressed with the product of the first scene. I hope you all injoy this, and hopefully it get into the *cough* madness section *cough* and all of you will vote resonabley...or just vote 5. Hope you enjoy my first completed project!
Also: The flash might be slow depending on your computer my recommendation is setting it on medium or low quality, thought it doesn't look as good.
Edit: Since everybody is mentioning it, the only reason I have the release date so long is the fact that I don't know when I will truly finish it. Though if I procrastinate the maximum date of being prolonged is madness day. There is a very high chance that I will finish it sooner.Just clearing that up for you. Thank-you for the reviews!

Topic - Revised Deuter Guide 35+ - Differences?
rideti.me - on 18 Aug 2013
I am looking at the Deuter Guide 35+ for a climbing rucksack. I appreciate there are many opinions, options etc in the market so am fairly happy with this choice.
My question refers to the revised 2013 pack. UKC has a gear review commenting on the tweaks to the 2013 range, but I wonder if anyone has experience of old vs new Guide 35+ to comment on whether it is worth getting the new item.
I originally saw them at PyB, I have a preferred colour in the old range, and I can get it for about Ł20 less than the new one. Is it functionally better to go for the generic colour and extra price of the new pack?
I was going to post pics of the 2 items but they would be commercial links, I am guessing anyone who has tried both will know what they look like anyway.

Madison, Wis. (Learfield) - Wisconsin's Medicaid health care programs for the poor-and-elderly will have a deficit of 214-million-dollars in the current fiscal year. That's what state Health Services Secretary Dennis Smith told a congressional committee in Washington today. The shortfall has grown considerably in recent months, as the recession and its aftermath forced a growing number of people to get on government care. The Medicaid deficit is about 26-million-dollars higher than it was projected to be in December – and 66-million higher than the estimate from last November. Smith told the House Budget Committee that Wisconsin is not alone, as other states also struggle with growing numbers of cases. Governor Scott Walker said earlier this week that the Legislature will have to fix a deficit in the current state budget that ends June 30th – but he has not said how big the deficit will be. Today's Washington hearing was the first to be run by the new Budget Committee chairman, Janesville Republican Paul Ryan.

McHenry County Clerk (Republican)
Voting will take place Tuesday, March 18, 2014
Voters will be able to select 1 candidates in this race. The 1 candidates with the most votes will be elected.
Winner in this race will be elected for a term of 4 years.
Click a question below to display the candidates' answers to that question.
Why are you running for county clerk?
Mary McClellan
I am running for Clerk to bring fresh ideas and a commitment to the people of McHenry County. I will bring and maintain fiscal conservatism to the McHenry County Clerk's office. I will control spending, reduce redundancies, and streamline inefficiencies to ensure we are spending every dollar wisely. I offer solid leadership qualities that can and will be utilized at the County Clerk office.
Nick Provenzano
My guiding principle as I have served the public on the McHenry County Board since 2002 has been a demand for respect for their hard-earned tax dollars. I worked to be their fiscal watchdog because I understand that it is their money that government is spending. That is why I successfully led the fight to keep the County tax levy flat for two years in a row and why I voted against pay raises for elected officials and government employees. I will take that proven track-record of fiscal conservatism to the County Clerk's office. I will put my 25+ years of business experience to use examining the way the office works and seeking out new efficiencies and cost-saving measures. I will hold the line on spending, reduce redundancies, and streamline inefficiencies to ensure we are spending every dollar wisely. I believe the best government is the smallest, most efficient government that lives within its means and isn't burdensome to families and businesses. Those we serve have had to tighten their belts, and with revenues down the county must do the same.
You are seeking to replace a long-time incumbent who held the office for decades. What do you plan to do to ensure continuity of services? What will you do the same or differently?
Mary McClellan
I will carry on Kathy Schultz legacy to protect the historical preservation of records in that office. I am not sure that many government workers, short of those responding to emergencies, understand the hours - days, nights, weekends and holidays - like the County Clerk staff do year in and year out. And they do it all, without shift changes or relief workers. Some may think they are "just clerks" and move a bunch a paper to the polls. They are very wrong. The staff and election workers do the work to ensure legal compliance, complex quality controls, troubleshooting and support for even the most disorganized or uninformed person who demands much. I will provide innovative ideas to introduce transparency, technology, efficiency, training, auditing elections' accuracy. The responsibilities in the County Clerk's office have changed considerably in the last 20 years. We now have five different "elections" with voting by mail, early in person, through grace registration, and provisional ballots processed after the election. These tasks will be done to ensure continuity of service to the voters.
Nick Provenzano
My first step if entrusted by the voters with their support will be to sit down with the outgoing Clerk and her key staff to map out a plan for ensuring that there is no break in the quality of services offered to the public when I take office. This is especially important because election laws continue to change so the office will be implementing a number of new processes in 2014 that will need to be continued as I take office. Then I will begin the modernization process as described in my answers below.
What can be done to make the clerk's office run more efficiently?
Mary McClellan
By making information more accessible to residents through the internet it will reduce the use of paper and eliminate the need to visit the office not always convenient to all in the County. Create an online ability to request ballot by mail negating the need to mail request in to office, whereby decreasing the amount of paper. Track clerks receipt of your voted ballot, if voting by mail. The other item would to be allowing credit card transactions for purchases at the clerk's office.
Nick Provenzano
By increasing the use of technology in the office, we will be able to reduce inefficiencies which will improve the quality of our service while cutting costs for the taxpayers. These upgrades will need to be phased in gradually and strategically to ensure we can properly plan for the short-term costs that will lead to long-term savings.
What are your plans to modernize the office?
Mary McClellan
Legislative changes to election laws and deadlines for each election cycle often require website and newsletters to be updated rather quickly. We will help others link their website directly to the Clerks site, as to provide future updates and be assured that readers access current registration and voting information. Besides elections, the county clerk's office handles vital records such as birth, death and marriage certificates. One of the office's roles is calculating the total assessed valuation of McHenry County and its numerous taxing districts, thus determining how much in property tax revenue they can receive under the tax cap and other limits imposed by law. The vital records software no longer has vendor support that would be a priority in modernizing the office. The election software is working however it may not be as fast as some would like it is security has integrity wich is first and foremost. Additionally, I would like to Create an online voter resource Create a link to confirm your registration status and to view all your personalized election information; -sample ballot beginning 40 days prior to election, rather than just an all contest ballot -download a form to request a ballot by mail -online ability to request ballot by mail negating need to mail request in to office -create a tracking receipt of your voted ballot, if voting by mail -provide Election Day and early voting sites including driving directions and picture Provide training to election judges and recruit both Juniors and Seniors from High Schools to get involved in the election process which in turns helps the older judges learn the process of the new technology that can be challenging.
Nick Provenzano
I greatly respect outgoing Clerk Kathy Shultz's service to our community and appreciate the hard work she put in to build a top-notch Clerk's office. I intend to build on her successes by significantly advancing technology in the office, including making significant upgrades to the County Clerk's website which is difficult to navigate and does not provide as much information to the public as it should. I have had the honor of working to advance a number of important causes and candidates over the years, interacting with many Clerk's offices in the process. This experience gives me a unique perspective on what can be done to take the McHenry County Clerk's office to the next level. Modernization will lead to long-term cost savings due to increased efficiency. It will also lead to better and more convenient access to the Clerk's office for the people we serve. Further, it will increase security when storing and transmitting important documents. Finally, it will improve our election process, making it easier to vote, safeguarding the electoral process, and helping us more quickly and accurately report the results.
What can the clerk's office do to be more accessible to residents?
Mary McClellan
By the updating information online this will make the Clerk's office more accessible to residents. With recent law changes allowing voter registration in Illinois it will eliminate a lot of the paper process in place currently. Also through outreach at High Schools and outreach to the public creates awareness the clerk's office duties therefore making it more accessible.
Nick Provenzano
The best way to accomplish this is by enhancing the County Clerk's website, as detailed in the answer to the modernization question above. Ultimately, I want to make interacting with the Clerk's office easier, more efficient, and less expensive for all McHenry County residents. In addition to being accessible, it is important that the Clerk's office becomes even more transparent so the public can keep us accountable. Over the years I have had the opportunity to work with many leaders whom I respect to bring about reform for the people of McHenry County. I have tried my best to be a conservative reformer. I have fought for increased transparency and accountability for our elected officials. I pushed to have Board Meetings streamed live on the internet. I led the fight for allowing the people of McHenry County to have a voice in selecting their County Board Chairman. As a countywide officeholder and the person who takes the minutes and keeps the records for the County, I can and will continue to be a strong voice advocating for reform in McHenry County. I will lead by example by making my office fully transparent and accountable to the public.
What is the most-pressing issue the clerk's office faces?
Mary McClellan
The steady march in our state to pass election laws that run Illinois elections by exception is a pressing issue. As your County Clerk it will be my consistent goal to deliver accessible, efficient, prompt, transparent and fair elections. There are modernizations that need to occur they just do not need to have millions of dollars attached to them.
Nick Provenzano
The most pressing issue facing the McHenry County Clerk's office is the need to implement the many new laws coming out of Springfield that effect the operations of the Clerk's office and more specifically elections within McHenry County. Major changes are coming down the pipeline, from 17 year olds being allowed to vote in Primary Elections to Voting By Mail and requesting applications online to online voter registration. It is imperative that the Clerk's office implement these laws on time while also dealing with the fact that the implementation of these new laws incurs additional costs that we must not pass on to already over-burdened taxpayers. This is a significant challenge.
How would you differentiate yourself from your opponent?
Mary McClellan
My opponent is a career politician all you have to do is compare our resumes. I can be trusted to get the job done and can be trusted to provide commitment to the people of McHenry County. I have been a States Attorney for the last 4 years and in private practice prior to my service as such. There is a great deal of difference between working in office defending the County sometimes 60 hours weeks and being an elected county board member who served on the County Board since 2002, minus a two-year absence after a 2008 election defeat part time. My opponent claims that he voted against the raising of the Clerks salary for the next term and that I voted for it. What my opponent fails to mention is that the salary increase of 1% $1000.00 to all of the County Elected officials was set by a prior board. The Human Resource Committee voted to freeze the salary for the next term based upon prior board's approval of the 1% increase for cost of living. My opponent skews the truth. If he is willing to make things seem as they are not when it does not matter, consider what he will do when it does matter. My opponent wants to modernize the clerk's office by spending tax dollars to the tune of 3-4 million dollars to get election results faster. This would allow the election results to come in a couple of hours faster. The problem with this idea is that it compromises the integrity that is currently in place and would allow for hackers. The only people who are willing to spend millions or reduce the safety and integrity of the voting process are people on the ballot. The word modernization sounds good until it cost the taxpayer more money. The election results are not official until 2 weeks after the election so spending millions to get sooner results is just not fiscally conservative thinking. My opponent will claim Modernization will lead to long-term cost savings due to increased efficiency. The cost savings is not real it is just a sales pitch to get the taxpayers to spend unnecessary millions.
Nick Provenzano
My business experience lends itself to conducting the business of the Clerk's office. I have been involved in economic development for 25+ years. Most recently I was the Director of US & International Government Affairs for the World Trade Center Chicago-Illinois, a not-for-profit committed to expanding international trade between Illinois businesses and world markets. I was recently appointed to the Economic Development Committee of the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning. My government experience will be beneficial in working with other elected leaders. I have served as a Member of the McHenry County Board since 2002 where I currently serve on the Finance Committee which has liaison responsibility to the Clerk's office. My election experience has allowed me to interact with a number of Clerk's offices which gives me unique perspective on how an effective Clerk's office is run. Most recently I served as Field Director for Congressman Randy Hultgren's 2012 reelection campaign and as Campaign Manager for Joe Walsh's 2010 win. My technical background will help me guide the modernization process for the office while maintaining election integrity and security. I graduated from DeVry University with formal training in electronics, computer technology and business management.

Day 8: Least Favourite Character- Hayden McClane
Let me start by saying that I don't hate Hayden. In fact ever since 1x08 I've decided that I'm okay with her, but overall she's still my least favourite character. I feel for her of course, no one deserves what happened to her and it breaks my heart a little that she happened to be killed whilst pregnant. But she's done a lot of shitty things to make me dislike her and is not showing nearly enough redeemable qualities yet. So for now she will hold the spot of my least favourite.
Everyone has their own Hayden. Unfortunately I haven't killed mine

Insanely Delicious Edible Cocktail Recipe: 3-Ingredient Rum Raisin Ice Cream
The 10-Minute Happy Hour
So many desserts, so little time! This week I have wanted every sweet that's
been posted from the Lemon Blueberry Yogurt Cake to all the desserts made with ricotta and mascarpone. In turn, I have my own instant
boozy dessert — one that works just as well for when I'm hanging solo as it does at the end of
a dinner party. My hard and fast Rum Raisin
Ice Cream only calls for three simple ingredients. When combined, I guarantee
you they deliver pure culinary bliss.
I make a lot of ice cream from scratch, but in a pinch I go for Haagen Dazs. It's so creamy and the vanilla is a great vehicle for lots of flavors. I've added fresh mint or fresh basil and served on plum tarts or apple pie. You can fold in your favorite chopped candy bar, a la Cold Stone Creamery, or do as I did for this week's 10- Minute Happy Hour and make it boozy. I chose spiced rum, but this works with numerous liquors like whiskey or another one of my favorites, Pedro Ximenez Sherry.
This week I recreate an old favorite ice cream flavor, Rum Raisin, by
simply topping some slightly softened ice cream with a drizzle of spiced rum
and a sprinkling of mixed raisins for an insanely good boozy treat. It's the perfect adult indulgence in minutes.
3 Ingredient Rum Raisin Ice Cream
1 scoop Haagen Dazs vanilla ice cream
1 ounce Spiced Rum
1 tablespoon Sun Maid Mixed jumbo raisins
Scoop the ice cream into a small dish. Pour the rum on top and sprinkle with raisins. Serve immediately.

This is a great idea for all of us who have a dust-encrusted little bottle of spiced rum at the back of the cabinet, purchased for some long-forgotten recipe and never used again. I'll be serving it tonight.
Great boozy dessert.Congratulations.
A good idea but, if the recipe calls for Haagen Dazs Vanilla ice cream, why not just buy Haagen Dazs Rum Raisin ice cream save on rum and raisin?
oh that's nothing! I pour bourbon, rum, bailey's - whatever - on my ice cream or frozen yogurt all the time ! ;) - true confessions - sometimes I just pour directly into the carton~!
I'd soak the raisins in the the rum beforehand, and then add even MORE rum when serving! Makes them nice and plump :)
Who knew this would be so easy. I would add pecans as well.
Wait, why would you have a bottle of rum in the back of the cabinet collecting dust? ;-)
I agree plumping the raisins in rum beforehand--maybe heating the mixture up first, too--would be tastier. The alcohol will also keep the raisins from going rock-hard when they contact the ice cream.
I thought this was going to be an ice cream recipe. Oh well. We just bought dark rum to make Dark & Stormies, so I'll try it out in this application, too.
Yeah... it's a little deceiving when one out three ingredients for ice cream is... ice cream.
Julia Child had an excellent dessert for large parties in one of her cookbooks that is along similar lines -- vanilla ice cream, topped with a couple of spoons of rum, and then sprinkled with instant coffee that's been pulverized to a powder in a spice grinder. Definite crowd pleaser and easy on the hostess.
