Was good for a small chuckle but thought it was way too short. If there is going to be any sequels think it needs to be longer and have more humorous gigs just sayin.
Thank you for the critique.
I agree it's too short; originally it was going to be longer, but my partner and I got stuck in the writing process.
Truth is, we have about 1.5minutes of the remaining animation, and we're going to use that for the next flash.

Camera on Schumacher's ski helmet inspected
People attach messages on the fence of the karting circuit owned by German former Formula One champion Michael Schumacher on December 30, 2013 in Kerpen near Cologne, western Germany
A source close to French authorities handling the investigation disclosed the existence of the camera late Friday.
The source said it had been taken to see if it can yield any clues as to the circumstances of the accident.
Schumacher's 14-year-old son Mick, who was skiing with his father at the time, was also being questioned by investigators, the source said, confirming information reported by the French newspaper Dauphine Libere.
The developments in the probe came the day Schumacher turned 45 while still in an induced coma in a hospital in the French Alpine city of Grenoble after his December 29 accident.
Fans marked the birthday with a silent vigil outside the facility, part of which was organised by Ferrari, Schumacher's former team.
French authorities are examining various factors in the ski accident, in which Schumacher's head hit a rock so hard his helmet was split in two.
Although he was conscious when airlifted from the unmarked run in the upmarket Meribel resort, where he owns a property, Schumacher was agitated and apparently uncoordinated and soon fell into a coma, prompting his transfer to Grenoble hospital.
He has undergone two operations to remove blood and pressure from his brain. His manager said in the last update on Wednesday that he remains in a critical but stable condition.
His family is at his bedside, including his wife Corinna, his two teenage children, his father Rolf and brother Ralph, who is also a racing driver.
Fans mark sad birthday
The accident has shocked legions of fans used to seeing the seven-time Formula One world champion cheat death on the race track.
Some of them went to Grenoble on Friday to mark Schumacher's birthday and offer teary support.
Ferrari, which brought in the fans from Italy and elsewhere in France on board two buses, put a message on its website, saying "Forza Michael," or "Go Michael" in Italian.
"He is tackling the most important fight of his life and therefore we want to send him very special wishes," said Schumacher's old team, as similar messages poured in from around the world.
German former tennis ace Boris Becker wished his compatriot "Happy Birthday" on Twitter, adding "Fight Schumi" in a German hashtag.
The family responded in a statement Friday by saying "the incredible sympathies shown today by the Ferrari fans outside the hospital has utterly overwhelmed us and moved us all to tears".
"We are deeply grateful for it and also for all the heartwarming and heartfelt wishes for Michael to get well soon, which have reached us from all over the world."
Stefano Pini, a 47-year-old accountant from Milan who arrived to pay tribute, said: "Schumi has given us a lot in the past. The least we could do is to come here and support him and his family on his birthday."
However, the Ferrari tribute created controversy, with some accusing the Italian racing giant -- which asked fans to sport its trademark colour red and its insignia -- of bad taste.
Roberto Luongo, president of the Roma-Colesseo Ferrari club -- one of the 130 clubs the Italian carmaker has in Europe -- said he did not want to be associated with an event linked to "a man who is suffering".
Schumacher's fan club in his childhood town of Kerpen said any celebration of the birthday would be in bad taste.
Accident probed
Questions have emerged over exactly how the accident happened on a small, seemingly innocuous off-piste section of Meribel located between two ski slopes -- one classed as easy and the other as intermediate.
Prosecutors are looking at whether the limits of the pistes next to the accident site were correctly marked, and whether the safety releases on Schumacher's skis operated properly.
There have also been conflicting statements about the speed Schumacher was going when he crashed.
Schumacher, who made his debut in 1991, dominated Formula One during his career, winning more world titles and races than any other driver.
He first retired aged 37 but was unable to resist the lure of the track. In 2010, he came out of retirement but was unable to recover his previous performance and quit for good in 2012.

The case against former Savannah-Chatham Metro Police officer Trina Mayes is going before a Chatham County grand jury Wednesday.
A proposed indictment against Mayes includes seven counts of making a false statement.
Mayes is accused of lying to the police chief, to police internal affairs, and to investigators hired by the city about her alleged romantic relationship with known convicted burglar, Rocky Sellers.
Mayes' attorney said the case is retaliation after Mayes' report of an affair she claims to have had with former Savannah-Chatham Metro Police Chief Willie Lovett.
Mayes' attorney sent a letter to the district attorney claiming his client is being treated unfairly, pointing out instances in which other officers were caught lying and not prosecuted.

All the buzz surrounding OpenStack over the past few months may beg the question of whether Openstack can repeat for Cloud what Linux has done for server operating systems over the past several years. With an enthusiastic following and a compelling, if not industry-leading set of functionality, the possibilities may be boundless. This week's announcement of the HP Cloud public beta, an OpenStack-based cloud that includes compute, object storage and a content delivery network, provides even further momentum to this open source effort. With well-known vendors such as HP, Rackspace and hundreds of others backing them, we can expect OpenStack adoption to increase.
In one of the more storied instances of open source successes, the Linux operating system, first released in 1991, was an alternative to existing operating systems embraced primarily by developers. Today, Linux owns over 18% of the server market for factory-shipped servers, excluding installations on bare-metal or repurposed servers. While Linux has not necessarily grown to become the leading server OS, its overall influence on the server market has been very positive, particularly for end-users who benefit from a broader selection of OS choices.
Most open source software offers a number of advantages over standard commercially licensed software including:
- A larger community of developers – crowdsourcing across multiple organizations and vendors
- Lower hardware costs – supporting standard off-the-shelf hardware
- Lower software costs – since it is free by design
- Less lock-in, better interoperability – fostering collaboration across many vendors and organizations to broaden interoperability
In fact, by virtue of its interoperability, OpenStack benefits from a rich ecosystem of software and hardware applications that now natively interface with HP Cloud. HP has introduced several categories of partner applications including database, mobile, security, storage and testing/development among others.
For storage-oriented folks, one of the more interesting set of partner applications are cloud storage gateways, like CloudArray, which make it simple for businesses to augment existing storage infrastructure with secure cloud-backed storage. To that end, TwinStrata has joined HP's partner network and released a free CloudArray appliance specifically for HP Cloud customers for storing and managing up to 1TB of cloud storage with the look, feel and security of local iSCSI storage.
Whether or not OpenStack will move to the forefront of cloud technologies is yet to be seen. Whatever the outcome, we expect the open source community to wield substantial influence on the cloud segment in general, creating a win-win situation for customers by continually introducing new levels of innovation and interoperability. Do you see open source clouds in your future? Let us know.

Twilight: The sagaâs best and worst moments
Worst: Shirtless Jacob (New Moon)
New Moon marked the real start of the Team Jacob/Team Edward dichotomy. Key to that is the scene where Bella jets off on Jacob's motorcycle in a bid to see Edward, who appears to her in moments of danger. Of course she tumbles ass over teakettle and bangs her head on a rock. With her head cut, Jacob chivalrously doffs his T-shirt and uses it to staunch the bleeding... revealing his six-pack at the same time. "What are you staring at" Jacob asks the stunned Bella. Strangely, the teenaged audience I saw this with didn't hear my sniggers above their hoots of approval.

Fish tale - Around the Arch
September 2013 Issue
In an unusual move, California white sturgeon used in a study at the Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources were donated to the Atlanta Community Food Bank and the Tennessee Aquarium once the research was complete. Almost a ton of the fish were taken to Inland Seafood to be processed for distribution by the food bank. Three of the fish will be on display in the River Giants exhibit at the aquarium. Typically fish used in research studies are disposed of in a landfill, but since these fish were only used to test their swimming ability, their quality was unaffected. Associate Professor Doug Peterson said putting the fish to good use was a priority of his, as well as the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, which funded the research.

Righting a Wrong
- Tuesday, February 25, 2014
The story of Jephthah and his tragic vow is paralleled by other stories—including a New Testament story that subverts it.
The Story
After the brief judgeship of Jair (a man from Gilead), the people of Israel fell into idolatry by worshipping foreign gods (Judg 10:6). God then allowed a foreign enemy to oppress the Israelites as punishment. This time it was the Ammonites, who lived on the other side of the Jordan in a place also known as Gilead. The people immediately called on God for deliverance. Ironically, God responded by calling Jephthah, another judge from Gilead.
In Judges 11, Jephthah sends a message to the king of the Ammonites. He wonders why the king is not content with the land that his god Chemosh had given to the Ammonites. Jephthah's plea is flawed: Milkom was the chief diety of Ammon—not Chemosh. It won't be the last time he makes a theological blunder.
When Jephthah leads Israel against Ammon, the Spirit of the Lord comes upon him for battle. Just before the fight, he utters his horrible vow: "If you give the Ammonites into my hands, whatever comes out of the door of my house to meet me when I return in triumph from the Ammonites will be the Lord's, and I will sacrifice it as a burnt offering" (11:30–31). Upon his victorious return, it is his only child, his daughter, who greets him.
The Story Behind the Story
The ancient Israelites believed that geographical areas and nations were under the dominion of other gods, put there by Yahweh, the God of Israel, who had rejected the nations as His people (Deut 4:19–20; 32:8–9). The Jephthah episode reflects that worldview.
Judges 10 tells us that the Israelites worshipped other gods, including Milkom. Human sacrifices were made to Milkom. Through his own theological ignorance, Jephthah wound up performing a human sacrifice, per Ammonite Milkom worship, to fulfill his foolish vow to Yahweh. He had Yahweh in view, but his perspective on worship was warped. Remember, at this time there was no king, no spiritual leadership, and no centralized system of worship.
The Story Repurposed
The tragedy of Jephthah is repurposed in the New Testament story of Jesus raising the daughter of Jairus (Luke 8:40–56). The details are subtle but theologically powerful.
Jephthah Story
Jephthah's only daughter
Preceded as judge by Jair (spelled in the ancient Greek translation of the Old Testament, the Septuagint, as Ιαϊρ)
Land of Jephthah = Gilead (Judg 11:1)
Land of Jair = Gilead (Judg 10:3–5)
Gilead = east of the Jordan, ruled by the Ammonites in Jephthah's day
Jairus Story
Jairus' only daughter (Luke 8:42)
Jairus (spelled in Greek as Ιαϊρος)
Jairus encounters Jesus on the shore of the sea of Galilee, after Jesus' return from Gerasa/Gadara = Gilead in the Old Testament
Jephthah Story
An Israelite leader who worships Yahweh in the manner of false gods
Selfish vow results in the human sacrifice of his daughter
An Israelite girl is sacrificed to a foreign god
Daughter dies

Norwich — For the second time in five months, downtown developer Scott Capano bid just one penny above the city's minimum bid at today's tax foreclosure auction of the vacant Thames Plaza office complex.
The city attorney had faxed its opening minimum bid of $233,700 to cover the taxes and interest owed to committee of sale attorney Gregg Wagman.
Capano was the lone other bidder at $233,700.01, and the auction closed on the office building located at 101 Water St. A new appraisal submitted to the court prior to the auction reduced the market value of the building to $350,000 from the previous value of $700,000.
This is the city's second attempt to sell the building, owned by Norwich Harborview Corp. In November, Capano again was the lone bidder after the city and bid $219,002.01.
But attorney Edward Bona representing the owner filed objections in New London Superior Court saying the auction drew no bidders because it was held the same day as the city's Winter Festival Parade, which included road closures and restrictions on parking. Judge Emmet Cosgrove scheduled a new auction for today.
The city's minimum bid rose to reflect back taxes accrued since the Nov. 30 auction.
"No parade today," Capano said after the auction concluded.
Capano, whose family owns the Harp & Dragon Pub on Main Street, a second adjacent building and ShopRite supermarket stores in Norwich and New London, bid under the name 101 Water St. LLC.
Capano said he has no specific plans for the building and will wait to see if the court approves the auction sale before making any decisions.
Wagman said he expects a court date within the next two weeks after he files the auction result.

Collocations are expressions of multiple words which commonly co-occur. For example, the top ten bigram collocations in Genesis are listed below, as measured using Pointwise Mutual Information.
While these words are highly collocated, the expressions are also very infrequent. Therefore it is useful to apply filters, such as ignoring all bigrams which occur less than three times in the corpus:
We may similarly find collocations among tagged words:
Or tags alone:
Or spanning intervening words:
The collocations package provides collocation finders which by default consider all ngrams in a text as candidate collocations:
We could otherwise construct the collocation finder from manually-derived FreqDists:
A similar interface is provided for trigrams:
We may want to select only the top n results:
Alternatively, we can select those above a minimum score value:
All the ngrams in a text are often too many to be useful when finding collocations. It is generally useful to remove some words or punctuation, and to require a minimum frequency for candidate collocations.
Given our sample text above, if we remove all trigrams containing personal pronouns from candidature, score_ngrams should return 6 less results, and 'do not like' will be the only candidate which occurs more than once:
Sometimes a filter is a function on the whole ngram, rather than each word, such as if we may permit 'and' to appear in the middle of a trigram, but not on either edge:
Finally, it is often important to remove low frequency candidates, as we lack sufficient evidence about their significance as collocations:
A number of measures are available to score collocations or other associations. The arguments to measure functions are marginals of a contingency table, in the bigram case (n_ii, (n_ix, n_xi), n_xx):
w1 ~w1 ------ ------ w2 | n_ii | n_oi | = n_xi ------ ------ ~w2 | n_io | n_oo | ------ ------ = n_ix TOTAL = n_xx
We test their calculation using some known values presented in Manning and Schutze's text and other papers.
Student's t: examples from Manning and Schutze 5.3.2
Chi-square: examples from Manning and Schutze 5.3.3
Likelihood ratios: examples from Dunning, CL, 1993
Pointwise Mutual Information: examples from Manning and Schutze 5.4
TODO: Find authoritative results for trigrams.
While frequency counts make marginals readily available for collocation finding, it is common to find published contingency table values. The collocations package therefore provides a wrapper, ContingencyMeasures, which wraps an association measures class, providing association measures which take contingency values as arguments, (n_ii, n_io, n_oi, n_oo) in the bigram case.
It is useful to consider the results of finding collocations as a ranking, and the rankings output using different association measures can be compared using the Spearman correlation coefficient.
Ranks can be assigned to a sorted list of results trivially by assigning strictly increasing ranks to each result:
If scores are available for each result, we may allow sufficiently similar results (differing by no more than rank_gap) to be assigned the same rank:
The Spearman correlation coefficient gives a number from -1.0 to 1.0 comparing two rankings. A coefficient of 1.0 indicates identical rankings; -1.0 indicates exact opposite rankings.

Once you've been painting miniatures for a while (and for some, almost as soon as they start painting!) you have the desire to start altering the miniatures before you paint them. In the world of miniatures, this is called converting. A great way to get some practice with conversions is by converting plastic miniatures. Plastic is much easier to cut than pewter, which means that converting plastics does not require very costly tools (like the dremels often used by experienced modelers) and can often be done with many fewer headaches. If you're looking to gain more experience with conversions, or are considering your first conversion, I would recommend getting comfortable converting plastics before you try anything too ambitious in metal.
This article is aimed at someone who has probably not done much converting besides weapon swaps. I assume that you're familiar with basic techniques such as pinning, but all of these techniques should be doable by beginning modelers.
Tools and materials
Because plastic conversions are relatively easy, I will only be using a few simple tools for this project.
- sharp hobby knife
- wire cutters
- pin vice
- drill bits
- sewing needle
- superglue
- epoxy modeling putty ("green stuff" and "brown stuff")
- brass wire/paperclips
Our subjects
For this article we will be converting plastic Space Marines from Games Workshop. They are some of the most common plastic miniatures in the gaming world, are easy to convert, and you will frequently see armies consisting of dozens of plastic marines, all in similar poses, so some conversion work to add variety is very useful. However, these techniques can, in principle, be applied to any plastic miniature, and many of them can be applied to metal miniatures as well (albeit with more work and tools such as saws and dremels).
Reposing miniatures
We are going to start by reposing some of our Space Marines. Every single Space Marine seems to come with the same pose: legs spread, holding the gun across the chest. The main thing you control is the relative facing of the legs, torso, and head. In order to spice things up a bit, we're going to reject this simple formula, and repose our marines as we see fit.
We'll start by reposing the legs. Instead of the static "solid footing" pose most marines have, I want a marine which is upright and walking - of course the same techniques could be used to create other poses. In order to accomplish this, I begin by cutting apart my marine legs. I remove both feet, and then I remove both legs where they join to the pelvis. Then I smooth the areas where I have cut, so that I can reassemble them without rough patches where my knife cuts are visible:
The next step is to begin reattaching them. Before I attach anything else, I want to make sure the legs are positioned how I want them. I drill a hole in the top of each leg, cut a section of paper clip long enough to pass through the pelvis, bend, and enter the top of each leg, and then attach both legs to the paperclip. I have not yet attached the pelvis, because I want the freedom to bend the paperclip as I like to get the legs oriented in a natural gait before attaching the pelvis; the two-body problem is much simpler than the three-body problem.
Now that I have the legs in a reasonable pose, I have a problem: how do you attach the pelvis to the middle of the paperclip, with both legs in place? Simple: you cut a groove. I cut a slit from the base of the pelvis, deep enough so that I can slot the pelvis into place over the paperclip, between the two legs. Later I will cover this slit with modeling putty - I'll be covering a smooth area on the underside of the miniature, so the replacement will be unnoticeable, even with my lackluster sculpting ability.
The next step is to attach the feet. This is rather simpler than the pelvis; I just need to pin them in place. One of the two feet will be the back foot, and in order to show that the marine is walking forward lifting his heel, I cut it in half, and reattach the halves at an angle, so that the toe will be firmly planted on the ground, and the heel will be raised. Don't worry about gaps at this time; you can fix them later with modeling putty. Here is my fully assembled leg construction:
The only thing left to do is gap filling. The underside of the pelvis and gaps in the feet are simple to fix: we simply fill them with modeling putty, and smooth them over. The gaps between the legs and pelvis are a bit more complicated: we need to recreate the raised ridges of the articulated joins. This is the most complicated sculpting needed for this project, but it's still relatively simple: start by filling the gap and creating a smooth surface where the texture will go, then impress grooves with the edge of your modeling knife, rolling it along the curved surface so the grooves have constant depth. The trickiest part is making sure the grooves are evenly spaced.
You can easily apply the same principles to arms, heads, and torsos. Of course with these plastic Space Marines, the torso and head are already separate pieces that can be assembled in many poses, but here is a reposed arm made to be holding a weapon outstretched rather than across the body:
I simply cut above and below the elbow, and then reassembled the pieces, using a pin, in the desired position. Again, the gaps are filled and the articulation is created with modeling putty.
Adding detail
Besides reposing miniatures and doing weapon swaps, the most common other use of conversions is adding or changing details. This can be anything from tabards to beards to elaborate scrollwork on armor. Again, for this article we will be aiming for rather simple results; in this case, I'm going to be converting a marine into a champion of Nurgle.
For this model I decided go for simple modifications, and to add interest with the paint scheme. One thing to keep in mind is that you can make a simple conversion really pop with freehand or other elaborate painting, or showcase a more complicated sculpt with a very simple paint job. Your conversions don't always have to be tremendously detailed - sometimes simple is best. In order to assist with your sculpting, it's nice to have a collection of sculpting tools. If you are really into sculpting, you can spend quite a while collecting and modifying your tools, but for this article we will only use a few simple tools: a hobby knife and an ordinary sewing needle. One of my favorite sculpting tools is a simple needle, secured in a pin vice to give it a nice handle. However, if you decide that you enjoy sculpting, one of the first things you will want to do is procure some better tools.
In order to take a generic chaos marine and turn him into a devotee of Nurgle, I have made two principal modifications (apart from reposing the legs as described in the previous section). First, his belly has been enlarged with modeling putty, as is common for devotees of Nurgle. This was a relatively simple modification, the primary change being to add bulk; the only detail I sculpted was some simple generic battle/corrosion damage. Of course, if you are confident in your sculpting skills, you can add more detail, such as hoses, insignia, and so forth. The second main modification was to his shoulder pad. In order to properly mark him as a devotee of Nurgle, I wanted a Nurgle insignia on one of his shoulders. I drilled three holes in a triangle into his shoulder pad to use as a guide (and also so that the insignia could be partially recessed), and then sculpted the insignia over them.
Putting it all together
This article showed you a few simple techniques that you could use to individualize your miniatures, especially plastic ones, by reposing them and adding details. In order to get the best mileage out of these techniques, remember that they can be combined in various ways to create unique poses. As a pair of final examples, I present two marines: a Templar, and a painted version of the Nurgle champion from above.
The Templar sports three modifications. First, instead of holding his bolter across his chest in the typical marine pose, I wanted him to be pointing it in the opposite direction, so I reposed his right arm. Second, since his left hand was now not needed to hold the bolter, I decided to give him one of the knives that comes with all the plastic marine sets. This was another simple conversion - I simply took one of the open hands designed to hold a bolter grip, and curled the fingers around the knife hilt. Finally, I decided to give him a unique helmet, so I carved down a beaked Space Marine helmet into something with a bit of a Templar feel. Three simple conversions, but together they turn a generic plastic marine into something that stands out.

Is anyone healing asymetrically
- Tera Tera
- 1 year ago
Comments (4)
I am four weeks post op upper and lower blepharoplasty and my upper right lid looks just like yours. It was more swollen than the left one right after surgery and the surgeon told me it would take longer to heal. It is very frustrating that's for sure. I am going back to the doctor tomorrow and if he has any good ideas on how to reduce swelling I will post it. Hang in there, I'm sure it will be fine.
- Reply
Yes!!! That completely happened to me. My doctor told me that there was a lot for swelling on one of my eyes and thus that particular upper eyelid was weakened during the surgery. He prescribed IOPODINE eye drops to help strengthen it and it worked! HOOOOWEVER, my incisions are healing oddly now. They don't match. How do ur eyes and scars look now? I'm 7 1/2 weeks post-op.
- Reply
I haven't done mine yet so I can't say. How are you doing now? Other people have said that each eye heals differently.
- Reply
I had a lower bleph and my eyes are healing differently because i have excessive scar tissue in one eye. This is something that does need to be addressed by ur surgeon IF it is the case. He will probably suggest waiting if you just had it done, massage and/or steroid injections to smooth the scar (look up potential risks for this). If it doesnt go away the excess scarring might need to be surgically removed. However, this is only after AT LEAST 6-12 months. I have absolutely no clue if this is your case so talk to ur surgeon for sure.

The quinoa dilemma: Eat healthy or eat ethical?
The quinoa dilemma: Eat healthy or eat ethical?
The argument presented in The Guardian poses an ethical dilemma particularly to vegans and vegetarians who tout it as a superfood: the grain is high in protein, gluten-free and low in fat.
But as a consequence of its explosive popularity in the West, the grain that has been a staple in the Andean diet is experiencing soaring price hikes in producing nations like Peru and Bolivia, points out the Guardian, a reality the author calls "an unpalatable truth to face."
"The appetite of countries such as ours for this grain has pushed up prices to such an extent that poorer people in Peru and Bolivia, for whom it was once a nourishing staple food, can no longer afford to eat it," writes Joanna Blythman. "Imported junk food is cheaper. In Lima, quinoa now costs more than chicken."
Meanwhile, at Bolivia's lobbying, the Latin America and Caribbean division of the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization has declared 2013 the International Year of the Quinoa.
It's not the first time the media has taken notice of this conundrum. In 2011, The New York Times also broached the subject.
A follow-up to the story in Canada, however, adds that many of the world's food staples such as potatoes, tomatoes and corn started off as regional foods and subsistence farming before eventually going global.
Other protein-rich vegetarian options include lentils, bulgur, beans, tofu and other soy-based products.

Hawker Pax, Crew Stuck in Door Handle Jam
A Hawker 900XP crew recently discovered after landing that a slightly out-of-tolerance closing mechanism can render the cabin door unopenable from inside the airplane, leaving the emergency hatch as the only exit. Luckily, the pilot was able to radio a lineman to grab the keys through the pilot's side window and unlock the door handle from outside. After some investigation, the Hawker technician found that the receptacle in the door latch mechanism has a critical tolerance, and this Hawker's receptacle needed adjustment by two added washers. "It's a somewhat common problem that crops up on the Hawker," the pilot told AIN. "It's a relatively easy fix, just a matter of putting washers under the receptacle. It probably is something that Hawker pilots ought to be aware of. Hopefully mechanics and pilots will check their [Hawker] tolerance. Obviously it's a big safety issue." It is also a security issue, this pilot discovered, because in examining the problem he found that when the mechanism is out of tolerance, the locked door handle can be forced from outside to move and open the door. Hawker Beechcraft is investigating this problem, according to a spokesman, "but it sounds like it is a one-off incident."

Understanding the difference between a tornado watch and a tornado warning can help your family know which precautions to take. It is important to have a weather radio in case of severe weather.
A Tornado Watch means conditions are favorable for tornadoes and severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch area. People in these areas should be on the lookout for threatening weather conditions and listen for later statements and possible warnings.
A Tornado Warning means radar has indicated or a trained spotter has actually seen a funnel cloud or tornado in the area. Warnings indicate imminent danger. People in these areas should immediately seek shelter.
Have an emergency kit ready in case of severe weather.
It should include the following items:

Spring has sprung and many north Texans are working hard to get their gardens planted. In one local suburb, gardening has become a community effort. For week's Lone Star Adventure FOX 4's Richard Ray takes us to the Coppell Community Garden.
Coppell's two community gardens are a family affair, with 75 gardeners from 60 local families pitching in to help. The city provides the land and funding while volunteers provide the labor.
There is currently a waiting list for gardeners but years ago it was a different story. Organizers say they had to reach out to the community to get people involved. Now the gardeners are coming to them.
The gardens produce year-round and are both organic. What they grow is mostly given away to needy families. More than 100,000 pounds of produce has gone to the Metrocrest Social Services Food Pantry since the garden started in 1998.
It's an idea that seems to be catching on. Since Coppell started its Community Garden other nearby cities and church groups have started community gardens of their own.
In these tough times, organizers say the increase in demand is unbelievable. Each Saturday and Wednesday in the summer produce is harvested and taken to Carrollton for distribution.
For information about how to get involved please visit the Coppell Community Garden website.

My point is that the LK dungeons were just the right level of difficulty. You could go into any of them with any PuG group and have a very decent chance of success and be able to collect your badges. If DPS chose to be silly and irresponsible, it didn't always result in a wipe. They didn't require 2 to 3 hours of grief like the Cata dungeons. As a tank, you still have the ability to set the pace in a LK dungeon - don't let an idiot ruin it for you. Also, you're going to love running Cata dungeons if you enjoy being in the driver's seat as a tank.

Above: Maybe it would help if they all sang.
- Autism care: Legislators dance with mandate - Salt Lake Tribune Editorial
Oh, the hypocrisy.
Members of Utah's Republican-dominated Legislature are in a race to bash, subvert, attack in court or get out from under the federal Affordable Care Act, known pejoratively as Obamacare. Yet in an attempt to create health insurance coverage for autism treatment for children — certainly a worthy cause — Rep. Ronda Menlove is championing a bill that would employ some of the same strategies as the president's signature health care reform.
Menlove's SB272 would create a pilot program within the state insurance plan for public employees. It would mandate that the plan cover treatment of autism spectrum disorders, including Asperger's syndrome. That would include rehabilitation, early intensive behavior therapy, drugs and psychiatric, psychological and behavioral treatment, occupational and speech therapy and medical treatment.
Plan administrators would set minimum standards of coverage and limits on duration, amounts, deductibles and coinsurance similar or identical to coverage for other illnesses. ...
... Rather like the Affordable Care Act.
- Fund Utah's BRAC investment - Ogden Standard-Examiner Editorial
Gov. Gary Herbert has lent his support to the Legislature providing $500,000 to the Utah Defense Alliance. We need these ready funds available for supporters of Hill Air Force Base to promote its defense capabilities while the federal Base Realignment and Closure organization prepares for more defense cuts. Spending $500,000 is "peanuts" compared to what Utah could lose if BRAC reduces Hill's role in our nation's defense. ...
- What to do with I-15 windfall - Provo Daily Herald Editorial
There's light at the end of the Interstate 15 rebuild tunnel, and it's not an oncoming train. It is the glint of cash. ...
And, lest you worry that only Utah's solons are in need of constant watching ...
- Measure itself is excessive - Arizona Republic Editorial
A bill to cut government red tape is actually designed to blow up virtually all state and local regulations. Everything from barking-dog ordinances to business licenses would be classified as "excessive regulation" under House Bill 2815. ...
- Session over. Now what? - Santa Fe New Mexican Editorial
Another legislative session, another train wreck at the end, nearly killing such essential items as construction bonds for higher education and libraries. ...
- Location of schools is up to local boards, not state - Casper (Wyo.) Star-Tribune Editorial
The state of Wyoming has never stepped in and told a local school board that it must build a new school at a different location than its members selected.
Until now. ...
- Internet Sales Tax: Let's Get Our Fair Share! - Twin Falls (Idaho) Times-News Editorial
Twenty-four states currently participate in the Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Agreement. Idaho is not among them. ...
- Washington lawmakers must not borrow against future revenues to pay today's bills - Seattle Times Editorial
- Political disclosure deserves second act - San Jose Mercury News Editorial
It's outrageous that state legislators failed last month -- by only two votes -- to pass a bill that would have required political action committees to come clean on who pays for their ads in California. ...
- Take education off the menu - Oregonian Editorial
... It's tough all over for public agencies, and all the budget-cutting proposals in the legislative package and the governor's response would inflict more pain. But schools and schoolkids have taken enough. ...

Paradoxical Embolism
Topic Overview
Normally, blood flows from the right side of the heart through the pulmonary arteries and lungs before it returns to the left side of the heart. A paradoxical embolism is a blood clot that does not travel with normal blood flow. This type of embolism often causes a stroke because the clot moves directly from the right side of the heart to the left through a hole (defect) in the septum, which separates the upper right and left heart chambers. It then bypasses the lungs and is pumped straight toward the brain.

Working model of Raymond Scott's circle machine
"I've been working on building a working model of Raymond Scott's circle machine. I thought it would be fun to build something with motors and lamps.
The only information I have is the picture on the Raymond Scott site. I used a Hammond vibrato scanner base as the base for the circle machine and mounted it on a plate with 16 potentiometers around it. I only have 8 lamps installed but I have it playing an octave scale (the output is quantized). I've got a thread going on Muff's in the Music Tech DIY but thought I'd post a link here as well. I'm not sure how practical it is but it's kind of fun to watch. It's also been fun to prototype.
I'm using incandescent lamps, rheostats (e.g. potentiometers) and a CdS sensor. All the control and processing electronics are done in a microprocessor (I know it's not original but those are the electronics *below* the panel). This will be a stand-alone module as it takes over 12 watts of power.
Details, photos, and videos are at http://modularsynthesis.com/modules/DJB-circle/circle.htm."
