Well played, HBO. Just as Jurassic Park 3D hits theaters, the premium cable channel announced a new movie titled Bone Wars, a period comedy based on the rivalry between two nineteenth-century paleontologists. If an HBO comedy about battlin' dino-scientists isn't enough to pique your interest, then just wait until you hear who's playing the paleontologists: Steve Carell and James Gandolfini, who will also produce the film.

My whole family loved this dish. It was tender and tasty. I used the oxtails, but given their expense I will use bone-in chuck roast next time (bones give food a rich flavor). Oxtails do have a lot of bone, gristle, and fat, but most of the fat melts during cooking and gets skimmed from the sauce at the end.

I have used Southern Living recipes for years. I was so disappointed in this one. I followed the recipe exactly, made no substitions or changes at all. The meat was tough, greasy, and the dish had no flavor at all. I used rosemary and parsley from the garden. The SL Test Kitchen Tip suggested using boneless chuck roast cut into cubes for the meat, so I used half oxtails and half beef cut into cubes.

Grizzlies and Rodents
GrizzlyGround Squirrel Relationships
The Arctic ground squirrel is common over all open country in the park, from the lowlands to the tops of the sheep hills. It is plentiful year after year, apparently undergoing no marked cyclic changes. Perhaps this is due to the steady, heavy pressure on the species by bears, foxes, wolves, and Golden Eagles, a pressure that does not permit overpopulation and resulting die-offs (Fig. 53).
As a bear travels or moves along feeding on vegetation, he may surprise a squirrel and capture it before it can escape into a burrow. If the squirrel does manage to reach a burrow, the escape may be temporary for the bear will excavate, nearly always with success. When the bear happens to encounter a set of squirrel holes, he gives them a routine inspection with his nose, and if the scent indicates that the squirrel is at home, the bear begins to dig. Usually squirrels are dug out when the bear happens to encounter a promising set of burrows. But at times, chiefly in late summer and autumn, squirrels are hunted systematically. I have noted more squirrel hunting at this time than in early summer.
Considerable excavating usually is necessary before a squirrel is captured. The bear may dig into three or four entrances in a set of burrows and in at least one he may dig so deep that his shoulders are hidden from view. While excavating at one burrow entrance, he tries to keep a sharp watch on the other entrances, for he knows that the squirrel may emerge from any one of them. He is not always successful in capturing his prey; even after laboring for as long as half an hour he may give up the job as hopeless. Occasionally, a squirrel escapes from one set of holes and vanishes into another set a short distance away, and the bear must then begin to dig anew. The bear's luck varies. He may be successful in a series of diggings, or he may try several times without results.
In late May and early June bears may be especially fortunate in their digging and come upon a nest of young squirrels, but more often the reward is a single squirrel (Fig. 54).
Jarring of Sod Causes Squirrel to Emerge
In excavating a burrow the grizzly may use a single paw or both paws together. He may pull away loose soil in the burrow for a time, then with both front paws push down and pull on the sod at the edge of an excavation to make it cave in, thus making a bigger opening and more room for digging. This pushing action, given joltingly, frequently jars the earth enough to cause the squirrel to run from one of the holes and be caught. At times this jarring action is performed only to scare out the squirrel. As he jars, the bear keeps a sharp lookout for the squirrel, knowing that it may emerge. On a few occasions I have seen a grizzly jump with the forefeet, a kind of pouncing movement, several times during excavation of a ground squirrel burrow.
On 27 August 1963 I watched a mother bear digging for a squirrel on Sable Pass. She had not dug far when she began jarring the sod on the upper edge of her excavation. No effort to loosen the sod was made. She obviously was trying to frighten the squirrel enough to make it emerge, which it did after she had struck the sod with both paws five or six times. After eating the squirrel, the mother and one of her two yearlings moved away and out of sight of the second yearling which was left behind digging at another set of squirrel holes. The yearling dug for several minutes and finally captured a squirrelone of the few times I have seen a cub do so.
Mother Does Not Share Squirrels With Cubs
The cubs usually wait docilely for the mother to eat her squirrel, but not always. On 23 July 1959, when a mother captured a squirrel that had emerged from a set of holes where she had been digging, one of her two yearlings growled and cried while she consumed the squirrel. This complaining continued for a minute or so after she had finished eating.
In August 1969 I observed a mother with one spring cub hunt ground squirrels near Tattler Creek for several days. The female chased one ground squirrel to a burrow and began to excavate. The squirrel slipped away to another burrow and the female followed. As the mother resumed her digging, her cub chased another ground squirrel to the first burrow. Apparently this burrow was now plugged because the cub caught the squirrel. This rare moment of success was short-lived; the mother ran over, snatched the squirrel, and ate it as the cub watched somewhat disconsolately.
About One Hour Expended to Catch a Squirrel
On 21 September 1950 I discovered a mother bear almost buried in an excavation she was making trying to dig out a ground squirrel. She had been digging for some time, judging from the depth of the hole. Her two spring cubs, in the meantime, had wandered almost half a mile away. Even after I discovered these bears, the mother continued working at the excavation for 45 minutes. After digging a while, she would put her nose to the bottom of the hole to test the squirrel scent, then raise her head above the surface, mouth open and panting, and look to see if the intended prey were trying to escape from another entrance. A few times she made four or five jumps up the slope to make sure the squirrel was not escaping. She would stand on hind legs and look around before returning to the digging. She kept caving in the sod at the edge of the excavation, pulling loose large pieces, and pawing them out from the bottom of the hole. The sod and loose dirt flew between her hind legs or off to either side. Sometimes a chunk of earth or a rock would make a noise loud enough to startle her and she would turn quickly to look. This happened four or five times. After a while she was hidden completely in the hole. Once she came forth to sniff at other entrances and began to dig at one of them, continuing until half-buried before returning to the main excavation. The cubs returned and after resting sat up watching the mother. At last, from her deep hole, she managed to bring forth a squirrel. She bit off small pieces and chomped with a wide open mouth at each one. She chewed five or six pieces before the squirrel was eaten. I have seen bears swallow long, thick pieces of caribou tendon without chewing, perhaps because they were too tough, but squirrels usually are eaten in small pieces with much chewing. The cubs moved a little closer, but just sat and watched the mother dine. Before wandering away, the mother made some final sniffings into the large excavation. This bear had dug for about an hour before making the capture; usually a grizzly will give up before expending this much effort at a squirrel hole. The small result probably did not compensate for the energy expended. This incident is a record for digging time, but on another occasion I watched a bear dig for 40 minutes and he also had begun before I first saw him.
A Squirrel Escapes
On 31 August 1963 I discovered a bear digging for a squirrel that had taken refuge in a burrow leading under a large boulder about as high as the top of her back. Her eagerness indicated that the squirrel's scent was strong. Digging mostly from the upper side of the boulder, she would dig for a few seconds, then crane her neck to see if the squirrel was emerging on the other side. Sometimes she would try to look over the boulder and continue to dig, rather ineffectively, with one paw. After about 15 minutes, while the bear was intent on digging, the squirrel sped from the other side. When the bear looked up, the squirrel had crossed a draw and was part way up the other side. The bear galloped after the squirrel but it escaped into another set of holes. The bear dug briefly at five entrances to this hole then concentrated on one, working until only her hind quarters showed above the excavation. During this time I heard a loud bawling, and 75 yards off I saw a lone, impatient cub wandering back toward its mother from the other side of the slope. The mother dug for another 15 minutes, then stood looking over the valley, mouth open, before proceeding briefly with her digging. Farther down the slope, she ate a little horsetail, then wandered away into the gathering dusk. The squirrel was safe for one more day.
A Mother Intent on Her Squirrel Hunting
In 1963 the berry crop failed in the high country, so the bears were forced to rely more than usual on other foods. Ground squirrel hunting also seemed more prevalent that fall.
On 8 September 1963 a mother whose spring cub was so crippled that its hind foot was useless, left this offspring far behind when she went hunting. I first saw the cub alone, bawling steadily, and it disappeared into a canyon. Fifteen minutes later the mother, having gone up the canyon, came over a ridge and the cub was soon on her trail, still complaining. The mother galloped along, looking expectantly for ground squirrels. In a patch of willows she dug for some time. Once, she emerged from the willows, looked around for the squirrel, and returned to her digging. Five minutes later she dashed into the open again, this time chasing and capturing the ground squirrel.
Five days later this same mother was observed on Sable Pass about 3 miles farther south. She alternately walked, trotted, and galloped as she moved along on a contour, looking for ground squirrels. The cub was 200 yards behind, limping along on three legs. The mother showed no concern until she was about one-half mile ahead of the cub. Then she lay down on a knoll facing the direction from which she had come, but before the cub reached her, she was on her way again, once running 30 yards after a ground squirrel but missing it. The cub finally reached its mother and they both disappeared for 25 minutes behind a knoll. The mother reappeared and sniffed around for half an hour, digging at one burrow and exploring two others. The cub rested and licked his injured foot. It was an unfortunate time to be injured because the mother was traveling more than usual in her hunt for squirrels. She made several short runs with ears cocked. In one set of holes she dug deeply at four entrances, moving from one to the other, poking her nose into each one. While she was busy at this den, a second squirrel emerged some 30 yards below and made short runs up the slope until it glimpsed her, whereupon the squirrel scurried a few yards away and sat erect and perfectly still for 15 minutes. In the meantime, the grizzly captured the squirrel she was after and came a few steps down the slope, but fortunately for the second squirrel, she turned aside. The little animal scurried 15 yards to a hole without being seen.
The mother, still hunting for squirrels, returned to where I had first seen her. Later, the resting cub tried to follow her trail but could not find the beginning because it circled and criss-crossed near the excavated holes. The cub bawled as he searched and was soon circling off to one side, getting nowhere. Finally, he started up the slope and after climbing 200 or 300 yards, found his mother's trail. His crying ceased, for his most pressing worry had been relieved, but soon he was crying again. Eventually, he saw the mother digging for a squirrel, but as he came near, she was traveling again, doubling back over the same route to the base of Sable Mountain. The cub took a brief rest, then followed her trail, again crying bitterly. Later, the mother led the way over a low ridge as she headed for Tattler Creek.
Such eager, prolonged hunting of squirrels is unusual. I have often observed squirrel hunting in the autumn, but none with quite this degree of energy and drive. Moreover, I have never seen a mother show so little concern for her cub. Apparently she was accustomed to having her crippled cub lagging far behind and crying.
In 1969, another mother with one spring cub spent much of its time hunting squirrels in mid-August. Over 8 days I watched her capture seven ground squirrels, and she was alert constantly for opportunities.
A Mother has Unusually Good Luck
On 1 September 1959 I watched the mother of two yearlings dig out a squirrel from a snowy hillside. The mother jumped at the squirrel four or five times before capturing it, sometimes so vigorously that clouds of flying snow almost hid her from view. I watched as she hunted squirrels for 2 hours and 45 minutes, catching nine. The two yearlings followed along, resting while she dug. As usual, they did not share in the catch nor did they expect to do so. The mother's success varied from hole to hole. Once she chased a squirrel into a hole so shallow that excavation took only 2 or 3 minutes. With little digging, she secured two more squirrels but at the next hole she almost buried herself before reaching the squirrel.
A Family is Unsuccessful
One day in late August 1969, near Toklat, I watched for several hours as a mother with two yearlings traveled, occasionally digging for roots or ground squirrels. The female began digging at a ground squirrel burrow in a patch of low willows, and when the squirrel ran from the hole, all three bears pounced after it, at times almost colliding with one another. Despite their efforts, or perhaps because of their mutual interference, the squirrel escaped to another burrow. The mother and one cub each dug at a different entrance, and the second cub watched, but they soon gave up and moved on.
Ground squirrels recognize the grizzly as an enemy and utter loud, sharp warning signals when one is near. All squirrels in the neighborhood sit erect and join the warning chorus. Frequently, squirrels living at our camp warned us when bears, wolves, etc., were passing. Many false alarms seem quite authentic until one experiences the genuine alarm call, which is unmistakable. Although ground squirrels are only a small part of the bear's nourishment, they do add some meat to his diet and considerable interest to his daily living.
GrizzlyMarmot Relationships
Hoary marmots frequently send forth loud, sharp warning whistles when they discover a bear, but they are rarely excavated from their secure burrows among rocks and cliffs. Just as humans find a marmot occasionally away from the protection of a burrow, I expect bears sometimes come upon one too far from a retreat to escape. On a few occasions I have observed a bear investigate a marmot den but I have never seen a bear trying to dig one out. Marmot remains were seldom found in grizzly scats. However, if a marmot denned away from rocks, excavation by a bear would be a danger. Perhaps the bear is one of the factors causing marmots to live among rocks (Fig. 55).
GrizzlyMouse Relationships
Seven species of voles and lemmings have been found in the park. In years when one or more of those species are plentiful, bears sometimes feed on them. Mice are a tidbit, and so also are the underground stores of roots and tubers cached by the hay mouse (Microtus gregalis). Among the plants represented in the caches are coltsfoot (Petasites), bumblebee plant (Pedicularis), horsetail (Equisetum), knotweed (Polygonum), and peavine (Hedysarum alpinum americanum), the species the bears dig for constantly.
A cache may contain 2 or 3 quarts or more of roots, sufficient to make the excavation worthwhile. These mouse caches also are known to the Eskimo. Porsild (1953) says that Eskimo ". . . rob the mice caches which they locate by means of a dog specially trained for the purpose." Bears find the root caches (and the mice) with their keen noses, and probably learn quickly that mice favor hummocks for their nests and caches.
In 1955, a year of mouse abundance, bears were observed frequently digging into hummocks to obtain mice or their stored roots and tubers. On 20 June, a mother and her two yearlings, after feeding for a time on the previous year's crop of crowberry and cranberry, moved up into an area of hummocks, and dug out one hummock after another, for over 2 hours. In the same year, on 9 July when green foods were available, a mother and yearling spent much time digging for mice. A few days later, 16 July, although feeding chiefly on green foods, a mother dug into several hummocks. On 11 June 1959, although mice were not especially abundant, I found some root caches exposed and eaten by bears. In 1907 (a good mouse year) Charles Sheldon (1930) observed the grizzly feeding extensively on mice. He describes observations made on 9 October as follows: "The bear, evidently scenting a mouse in a tunnel, would plunge its nose into the snow, its snout ploughing through, often as far as ten feet, until the mouse had gone down into its hole in the ground; then the bear would dig it out and catch it with a paw.
GrizzlyBeaver Relationships
I have seen no evidence of predation on beaver by grizzlies in the park, and I have only two records of grizzlies feeding on beaver carcasses there. One carcass was known to be carrion, and the other probably was also. I have no observations suggesting bear predation on beavers, and it seems unlikely that beaver serve as anything other than an occasional taste of carrion for the bears.
GrizzlyPorcupine Relationships
I have no evidence of grizzlies killing porcupines or vice versa. However, occasionally there is contact and sometimes a grizzly is injured or a porcupine killed, but the latter is rare.
Discreet Behavior
The grizzly usually avoids the porcupine. For example, on one occasion I saw a plodding porcupine approaching a feeding bear. The porcupine stopped a few yards away, the two looked at each other, and the bear watched while the porcupine, maintaining his dignity, turned slowly and detoured past the bear. Alfred Milotte reported a bear watching while a porcupine approached and climbed a tree. Once, I saw a female grizzly watching a porcupine waddling past only a few yards away. A big male standing next to the female did not even deign to look, and the porcupine, for his part, seemed unperturbed by the presence of the bears.
Indiscreet Bears
Occasionally, bears fail to take proper precautions when they are near a porcupine. A bear appeared once near park headquarters with several quills in its face. The bear was seen rubbing its head against a tree, apparently trying to get relief. At least two other bears were reported with a few quills in their noses (Fig. 56).
On 2 June 1959 I saw a young bear with a crippled front foot that caused him to limp. The track of the normal paw was a little over 5 inches wide, that of the injured foot, about 4 inches. This suggested an old injury. In digging roots only the normal paw was used. Two days later this bear was shot at a campground. The claws on the uninjured foot were worn down, probably due to excessive use in root digging, and the claws of the crippled foot were unusually long from lack of normal use in walking and digging. Examination showed a number of old porcupine quills buried deeply in the injured foot. There was considerable festering in the foot and under the shoulder blade on the same side. The bear was thin, so although the injury was not fatal, it was crippling.
On 27 May 1959 while watching a mother and two 2-year-old cubs at Milepost 28 along the Teklanika River, I noticed that one of the cubs limped. On 7 June I watched the family feeding on berries near Hogan Creek. A few times the lame cub lay on its back to chew at the injured foot. Its jaws bothered it too, for it chomped them, pawed at its face, and shook its head impatiently. I could not see the quills, but the action made it almost certain that this cub had tangled with a porcupine. The following day, when I saw the bears on a distant slope, the cripple was still limping. On 10 June these bears were digging roots on flats near Sanctuary River. The cripple rested much of the time, once for 25 minutes, while the other two fed. When it walked, the injured foot was carried or used lightly. Sometimes it rested on the elbow instead of on the injured paw as it dug roots with the other paw. When I saw these bears on 11 June, the cripple was resting while the other two dug roots. The cripple obviously was not eating as much as its twin, and appeared gaunt. Its condition suggested that it might not survive the coming hibernation period.
On 25 June 1964, a photographer told me that he had seen a blond grizzly "explode" out of a patch of willows and that a few minutes later a porcupine emerged on the opposite side. When I arrived at the scene, I saw the bear on the slope biting at his paw.
Isabelle and Sam Woolcock reported watching a young bear jumping playfully about a porcupine. The bear seemed to understand that the porcupine was not to be touched; nevertheless, there was a chance for an accident. The porcupine climbed a stout willow where I saw it an hour later.
Some cubs may learn about porcupines by observing the behavior of their mothers, and others may learn from experiences. Incidents similar to the one told about a black bear also may occur to grizzlies.
Species other than bears sometimes are indiscreet about the porcupine. Foxes have been found injured seriously by quills, and unsophisticated dogs are stuck frequently by quills. In No Room in the Ark, Alan Moorehead (1959) writes about superannuated lions: "Often in their extremity old lions pounce on a porcupine, and that leaves them lame with a mass of quills in their paws."
It also is possible that the porcupine contributes to the improvement of the bear's habitat. At a spot near the Toklat River porcupines have killed most of a patch of spruce, and consequently willow brush and horsetail a favorite grizzly food have increased. In June, grizzlies feed extensively on horsetail in this patch of dead spruces. One day I collected 12 fresh bear scats in a few minutes, all containing only horsetail.

So I found this transparent of Tyler's IFHY.
"Cause when I hear your name I can not stop cheesing.
I love you so much that my heart stops beating when your leaving,
And I'm grieving and my heart starts bleeding,
Life without you has no god damn meaning
Sorry I'm passive aggressive for no god damn reason,
It's that my mood change like these god damn seasons,
I'll fall for you, but I love you."
"IFHY" by Tyler, The Creator."

It has been the strangest problem finding high enough resolution pictures to use as a wallpaper on the new iPad. Props to Colin for finding the perfect solution, this nighttime view of New York, New Jersey, Philadelphia, and DC from the ISS. My lock screen is also the 2012 Blue Marble (the highest res picture of earth ever taken). Go earth!
On March 15 at 8:10am local time, Felix Baumgartner and the Red Bull Stratos team successfully completed the project's first manned test flight at Roswell, New Mexico. After the capsule was lifted by a helium balloon to an altitude of 21,818 metres, Baumgartner started a freefall that lasted 3 minutes and 33 seconds before reaching the optimum height of 2,405m to deploy his parachute and float safely back to Earth…
video here. Independent space flight is getting pretty impressive. (also you would have to give me A LOT of Red Bull to do this…)
In the US, we rely on the National Hurricane Center to forecast storms. The NHC is in turn a division of the National Weather Service, itself a part of the NOAA. Which, in the GOP's 2011 budget bill, had its funding slashed by $1.2 billion from what was proposed in the president's own budget bill, a bill that very notably included a $700 million increase over the previous year to cover needed upgrades to the satellites that gather the data that gets crunched in order to predict storms and weather in general.
Apparently weather forecasting is better left to the private sector.

MADISON, Wis. (WTAQ) - Corporate executives say the best way to create jobs is for the government to cut income taxes. That's according to a survey by the financial firm of Grant Thornton. Almost 500 chief financial officers and senior comptrollers were surveyed – including 76 in Wisconsin and the Midwest.
35 percent of Midwest CFO's said cutting personal income taxes is the most effective way to create job opportunities – while 32 percent said it would be best to reduce corporate taxes.
Over 80 percent of the Midwest execs believe the economy will improve or remain the same this year – and almost half expect a more robust recovery in 2011. But they're also cautious about adding employees. Only one-fifth of the Midwest corporate officers said their firms would increase their hiring in the next 6 months. About 25 percent said they will decrease their hiring.

There are rumors floating about that moogle fashion is in fad right now, so more outfits may appear! What would you want your moogle to wear?
This is the big project I was working on, a Super Mario vine scarf. The scarf is entirely crochet, using a variety of yarns. It doesn't show well in the photos, but the cloud at the end is made of wispy fuzzy yarn and the hit block at the other end is a metallic yarn with some sheen to it. Mario is made from felt with snaps on his hands and feet so he can hold on to the vine and be repositioned anywhere you'd like on it.
Apologies for the poor photo quality. Some of these were taken just before it was sent out to Desert Bus for Hope. They'll be auctioning it off for charity along with tons of other awesome crafts, unique collectibles, and games as they play Desert Bus for days on end. I highly recommend checking out their live stream, starting on Saturday, Nov 16th at 10AM PST. If you are interested in this scarf (and seeing better photos overall), the bidding page can be found here.
Roll isn't alone. Her brother Megaman is ready to fend off anyone who might try to attack her, a desk, or gaming collection.
This is the Roll doll I made as part of a set along with Megaman to be auctioned off during Desert Bus for Hope 5 (http://desertbus.org/), which starts Nov 18th. All proceeds from their marathon fundraiser and auctions will go to the Child's Play charity (http://www.childsplaycharity.org/).
Meet the moogle's little friend! Don't worry, he doesn't have a knife. At least not yet. This little tonberry is 4 1/2 inches tall and about the same length from front to tail.
There are rumors floating about that moogle fashion is in fad right now, so more outfits may appear! What would you want your moogle to wear?
Well someone is dressed and ready to star in any FFXI cosplay show! This fashionable moogle is wearing a matching handmade turban and satchel, finished off with a simple silver buckle.
Looks like this moogle is almost ready for any costumed convention. Just leaves the finishing touches on the bag and he's set.
Any moogle worth his salt has a sturdy satchel to hold all the goods adventurers entrust to them. This guy is no different.
This bag is still missing a few details but is mostly done for now.

Alcohol free National parks?
A new poll by NRG Research Group and Peak Communicators reveals that 53% of Canadians would support a ban on alcohol in all National Parks during long weekends in the summer.
The goal of the restriction is to reduce excessive partying and keep the parks family friendly and safe. One third (35%) oppose the ban.
The results suggest that although for some drinking is an essential part of the camping experience, others are willing to put the enjoyment of all park users over their own enjoyment of an alcoholic beverage.
Support for the ban increases with age. 44% of those between 18 and 34 years of age are on side with the ban, half (51%) of those between the ages of 35-54 share that view, as do 62% of those over the age of 55.
Somewhat surprisingly, there are no gender differences in support for a long weekend alcohol ban.
Support for the ban varies across the country, with the highest levels in BC, and Alberta where three in five respondents indicated they 'somewhat' or 'strongly' supported the ban.
Quebec had the lowest support, with 44% of respondents voicing approval.
The poll was conducted from May 6th to May 8th, 2014 through online panel surveys totaling 1,000 participants. Results were weighted by age and gender and to each province.

Here's an interesting account of someone who decided he wanted to opt-out of Google's reach. I'm not sure I share all his concerns, but it provides some food for discussion.
What would you do if you couldn't or wouldn't use Google or any of its services?
I'd use Blackle.
OK, now my serious answer: If for whatever reason I wanted to opt out of them collecting data on me but felt I really had to use their engine, I'd consider a range of technical options. Off the top of my head it would be a bit of a hassle:
* In halting using them on personal business and properties, I'd have to kill Gmail for probably using my own ISP; POP/IMAP/Web with a more old-school interface. That would suck. I resisted using Gmail forever as it caught on, but once I gave in I loved its architecture… Sites-side I'd also need to swap out all their Analytics tracking on all my personal sites of course, in favor of other convenient free services in combination (default AWstats, Reinvigorate, Quantcast, etc… whatever works for such lightweight convenience tracking). And obviously any Adsense/Adwords I'd be doing would need to go, along with revenue if any in connection.
* Use them only from the office and in connection with my company's services and properties only, and from other non-personally identifiable locations (an Apple Store, a hotel etc.)… and barring doing the work to make sure none of their cookies and of course their toolbar's installed on a given system, certain sites I'd just never visit if I thought there was a chance of them noticing.
* Proxies
* Scraped SERPs via scripts hosted as opposed to local
Killing the love/hate romance and going off the radar would be a wad of work, but not impossible, for those wanting to take the plunge… Pop quiz – Who's harder to hide from: Google or the Feds?
Google bowing to the Chinese demands for censorship scarred their flawless image in my eyes. I found it deeply unsettling that Google compromised their "Don't be Evil" mantra. I respect the author for figuring out how to get through life without this intangible yet solid institution that Google is in most of our lives…
I wont be abandoning my gmail account any time soon though.
I couldn't live without google, it's my organic life's blood
Google is a revolution in terms of information explosion, it has changed the way we acquire any particular information, we acquire knowledge in seconds, for example I came here searching for optimization of blogs or adsense and pagerank through google.

When you are rolled into the operating room at the hospital, you want to know that the surgeon is ready to concentrate on your procedure. When you board a jetliner for your next vacation destination, you want to know that the tower crew is rested and ready to direct the pilot through dense airport traffic.
Concentration is vital in some professions. Even in our everyday lives, though, we all need to concentrate—to avoid traffic accidents, to get the job finished, to remember important information. But with today's world filled with flashing images of MTV, quick news reports, and fast-food restaurants on every corner, are we capable of concentrating as well as we used to?
Before we answer that question, let's take a closer look at concentration, and its sibling, attention. Attention is a global term, used to describe a state in which you are interested in everything going on around you. Concentration focuses that attention on one specific thing.
Attention and concentration developed in humans as defense mechanisms. Early humans had to be constantly vigilant or be eaten. But it's difficult to sustain a high level of attention for long periods of time without getting stressed out.
Stress is good in small quantities, but too much stress leads to burn out, accidents, or illness. Think of your life today. Stress? That's your middle name, right? Hurry here, hurry there, with never enough time in the day.
So, with all this stress and a culture that thrives on short takes, can we concentrate?
One reason people have trouble concentrating may be too much television. When a brain is bombarded by so many different stimuli, it's hard to concentrate on just one. Some experts have pointed out that a child's attention span is now about seven minutes—the length of time a program runs before a commercial break. In Europe, by contrast, attention spans seem to be longer—perhaps because there are longer gaps between commercials.
To help tune up your concentration skills, practice these tips:
Cut back on the amount of television you watch, or your children watch.
Get enough sleep. The CDC recommends seven to nine hours of sleep for teens and adults, 10-11 hours for school kids, and even more for preschoolers and toddlers.
Avoid drinks that contain stimulants. Although caffeine or nicotine can give you a quick boost, it lasts only short time.
Pay attention to what you eat. A high-fat meal can leave you feeling lethargic, and not because the body needs the extra blood to help digest the food. Research has shown that you feel sleepy after eating a meal high in fat or refined sugar because these foods change the composition of the amino acids entering the brain.
Try to stay calm and relaxed. Take a short break of a few seconds to a minute every hour or so at work to break the tension cycle. Just taking a moment to breathe deeply and slowly can help you re-center yourself.

I am obsessed with giving my man head.
My last question was deleted due to being graphic. So I will tone it down a bit.I enjoy giving my man head .. several times a day.He tastes so sweet and I just can't get enough of it.He has the prettiest penis I have ever seen.I am obsessed with going down on him.Any other girls out there like this?
What's Your Opinion?
Most Helpful Opinion
i loooooved giving my ex boyfriend head. sometimes if I couldn't sleep at night I would literally just suck his d*** haha. but I think it depends on the penis, my other ex boyfriend I was not so into giving him head. I agree that a pretty penis makes me want to suck it. but I know why I love sucking d***, it's cause I have an oral fixation. when I was little I would suck my thumbs. now in class I suck my pens and I'm obsessed with chapstick. I have this weird oral thing going on, haha
Haha. I'm the same way!! If I can't sleep, I suck his d***!
What Guys Said 5
I love happy people.
Well that's one lucky guy.
Dang. Wish I had read the last one before it was pulled!Your guy must be the happiest man on the planet!
In case he dies (he should never leave you for any other reason), can I give you my number?
LOL! Cute!
that is one lucky guy wish a girl wood do that to me
What Girls Said 4
I enjoy giving too. I don't think I've ever thought my boyfriend's penis was pretty, but yeah, I do like giving it.
I love to as well theirs just something about giving head that I love.
I am, but it's not ALL the time. But I don't understand why a lot of girls hate doing it
Perhaps some view themselves as critics judging our performance. When you give a BJ, it's about YOUR performance and your reward is indirect. Our reactions and the inevitable mouthful is your gauge of success. And it really doesn't taste bad (had mine second hand from a kiss). A lot of it has to do with your view of your role in sex...challenging or nurturing. Most events with my SO begin with 20 minutes of intense cunnilingus. My enjoyment is derived from hers. And I'm not thirsty after!
Yeah I love it! Some of my friends hate giving head. But I really enjoy it. Especially with my current BF, my ex was an asshole and didn't keep himself very clean..ew. But ill do it for my boyfriend whenever wherever
Eww nothing like sucking on a dirty d***. gross!

Albany - An Albany woman says she's relieved to know her granddaughter isn't at risk after a vaccination she had Monday was recalled. Merck recalled about a million doses of a vaccine called HIB, a shot given to children under five to protect against meningitis and pneumonia.
Barbara Price's granddaughter Destiny got the shot Monday. When Barbara found out about the recall, she called the CDC in Atlanta. They assured her the recall was only a precaution and that children haven't had negative effects. She said, "They told me they had a recall on those two particular immunizations, but they didn't think there was any danger in them."
Merck voluntarily issued the recall after tests showed a sterilization problem with equipment at its Pennsylvania plant.

Isochrone map
An isochrone map (isochrone plan, isochrone diagram) in science and urban planning is a map showing areas related to isochrones between different points. An isochrone is defined as "a line drawn on a map connecting points at which something occurs or arrives at the same time".[1] Such a map is sometimes termed simply an isochrone. In hydrology and transportation planning isochrone maps are commonly used to depict areas of equal travel time. The term is also used in cardiology[2][3][4] as a tool to visually detect abnormalities using body surface distribution.[5]
Isochrone maps have been used in transportation planning since 1914 or earlier.[6] They are commonly used in the UK in connection with development control.[7][8][9][10] Information technology in the 21st century has enabled them to be dynamically generated for use in websites, being used by house hunters wishing to evaluate residential areas.[11]
Isochrone and related maps are used to show the time taken for runoff water within a drainage basin to reach a lake, reservoir or outlet, assuming constant and uniform effective rainfall.[12][13][14][15] An early example of this method was demonstrated by Clark in 1945.[16]
Transportation planning[edit]
Time-based travel maps can be created for different modes of transportation,[17] e.g. foot, pedal cycle, motor vehicle. Such maps for private motor transport were widely used in a 1972 study into airport accessibility in Hampshire, South East England.[18] At that time, their use was disadvantaged by being time consuming to create.[18]
Isochrone maps can be generated using the Google Maps API[19] and this can be done from arbitrary starting points.[20][21] The creation of journey time isochrones to airports in Finland has been explained using the GIS software QGIS and pgRouting (an extension of PostGIS).[22]
General public[edit]
Journey time websites have been built using mapping technologies and open data.[23][24] Examples of such sites are instaGIS,[25] Mapumental[11] and Mapnificent.[23][26][27] Such sites can be used by house hunters wishing to evaluate residential areas.[11] An isochrone map of the London Underground network was made available in 2007.[28]

Over this holiday season I told my 26 year-old son about my transgenderism and my intent to continue my transition to womanhood. I prefer to do these things face-to-face and having told his sister back in September with great success, this was my first opportunity to see him (he lives in Chicago).
He was going to spend 2 weeks here. We had plans for skiing and other holiday festivities, but little did he know that I had something that would spice things up.
One complicating factor was his very serious girlfriend, from Houston, came along, plus her father (a Texas good ole boy) was going to drop in for a 4 day visit starting on the 25th.
Immediately upon their arrival on the 18th, it was apparent that he and his girl friend were not letting one another out of their sight. So I enlisted my daughter as a co-conspirator to get them separated the next day. The "girls" went out shopping and a girl's lunch out, so I convinced my son we should go out to lunch, but it took some convincing.
I took him downtown and we stopped at a sandwich shop that does counter service. I chose that place so we wouldn't keep having a waitperson constantly interrupting us. After finishing our sandwiches, I read him my prepared speech.
His reaction was mostly matter of fact. It's hard to get an emotional response from him on anything anyway. It didn't seem to repulse him. He just seemed a bit confused, because this came at him out of left field. He had no idea this was a part of me. He searched his memory for telltale signs and could find none (he just wasn't very observant). I encouraged him to ask questions, but he didn't have much. Just, am I serious about this and why his mom hasn't left me? I tried to answer a few questions that weren't being asked, but he wasn't in a chatty mood.
I had chosen to tell him early in his visit so that he would have time to assimilate what I told him while I was immediately available to answer questions. However, during the following days little, if any, dialog occurred. He told his girl friend, because she had become suspicious when we separated them. He asked that we not discuss the topic with his girl friend present and I agreed. She seemed interested, but wanted to remain neutral for this family revelation.
I did get some reports from my spouse and daughter that were encouraging. He was more willing to talk to them about it. They've been tremendously supportive so the message he got from them is 'everything's ok'.
Finally with 2 days left to his visit and the girl friend's dad gone, he came to me and asked to see some pictures. He had no visible reaction. Once again, just matter of fact. He said his concerns were related to how many memorial services he should hold if I die: one for me as a female or two: one for those who knew me as male and another for those who knew me as a female.
He also asked if he could show the pictures to his girl friend. He took them to her and returned quicker than I expected. Not sure how to take that. Hopefully, they just wanted to check to make a linebacker in a drag wasn't going to spoil their wedding (if they get married).
My spouse also relayed a conversation she'd had with my son and his girlfriend. She had told them that my concern about telling him was its impact on his relationship with his very very serious girl friend. The girl friend's response was that I should be very proud of the great son I'd raised and know that she was steadfast in her love for him.
They also told my spouse that they'd decided that if they get married, knowing it might be at a time when I occasionally crossdress as a man, that there should be two sets of photos taken, one traditional (i.e. me as a man) and one set with the true me so that I can have a set that truly reflects the family. Also, they've decided if they have kids that they will have one grandfather (her dad) and two grandmothers (my spouse and I).
All this was very touching and told me that they were well past the idea of accepting or not accepting and were looking at how to adjust to the new reality.
I really didn't expect my son to want to now chat with me about fashion and makeup as my daughter had. After all, while my daughter and I now have more in common, my son and I have less. He's also reacting as most guys would, non-emotional and factual. Although, I would have thought he'd be more curious about the community, the genre, and some of the clinical aspects. But that's him. Nothing much shocks him. He's a live and let live dude.
So now both my kids know and both are accepting and supportive. I'm so proud that they've grown into respectful, open-minded individuals. It's making my life so much easier. I couldn't be happier.

The comment that you would be referred to a one of the "grandmas" seems most telling to me.
They are looking at how your relationship in the future WILL work.... not wont work.
I am very happy for you!
I reckon you could light up the sky with the burden of that log lifted off your shoulders Tegan.
Proud of you and your beautiful son.
This is what Pe is about.
Thank you so much for sharing your story. I had to tear up a bit as I read it cause it made me think of how I think my own son will react when I tell him. His mother and I are already divorced but I promised I wouldn't say anything to him while he was still a teenager.
Like you, I believe that I have brought up my son to be an open minded and excepting person but I'm not ready to bet the farm on it just yet when it comes to revealing I'm one of those people he needs to be open minded and excepting with. :) Until then I continue to live in the shadows of the truth waiting for the day when I can finally check the reveal to him off my list of things to do.
I'm so happy you have the love and support of your daughter and spouse.

Golden Globes Actually Interesting This Year…Kind Of…Thanks to Tina Fey
Okay, we're going to admit that when the Golden Globes was canceled last year due to the strike – we didn't notice. We're that big of fans of awards shows. Last night there were the people watching the GGs and those watching 24. We were watching a rerun on Discovery Health about comedian Frank Payne's exploration of his morbid obesity. Because that how big a fan we are of 24.
Anyway, Tina Fey – a pioneer for female comedians – the Lucile Ball of nerds – the bane of Sarah Palin won for best actress in a TV comedy series and in her acceptance speech she called out commenters on Tom O'Neil's LA Times, The Envelope.
Fey said:
"I want to say thank you to the Hollywood Foreign Press. I'll always love the Hollywood Foreign Press and have all the Hollywood Foreign Press action figures. Thank you, Will Arnett, for that joke. But I want you to really know how lucky I am to have the year I've had this year and, if you ever start to feel too good about yourself, they have this thing called the Internet! You can find a lot of people there who don't like you! I'd like to address some of them now! BabsonLacrosse, you can suck it. DianeFan, you can suck it. Cougar Letter, you can really suck it 'cause you've been after me all year. And to my husband, Jeff, I love you. Thank you very much!"
See? Actually interesting.
Gawker has all the DianeFan flames.
Many more videos posted on The Envelope are here.

Tennessee coaches continue to struggle to keep their shirts on.
Men's basketball coach Bruce Pearl is the latest culprit.
Wearing an orange-and-white checkered sport coat, orange tie and no shirt, Pearl performed a rap song with three Volunteer athletes Monday night at the "Volscars," Tennessee's athletic awards ceremony. See the video.
Pearl also appeared publicly without his shirt at a 2007 women's basketball game against Duke. But he's not the only Volunteer coach to shed his shirt.
In early March, several Volunteer football coaches made an unforgettable impression on recruits by ripping off their shirts "Superman style."
Will head football coach Lane Kiffin be next?
"I don't think so," Kiffin told the Knoxville News.
Kiffin did, however, participate in a skit with his father and defensive coordinator Monty Kiffin.
Creekside high school product Eric Berry was named the men's best male athlete of the year at the ceremony at the Knoxville Convention Center.
We wondered what other coaches are considering going topless here.

gt forever, I agree…what a weird story and day, I agreed with a Techie, maybe the first and last time for that. Lets hope its the last for the shirtless vol coaches…i could have done without this story…probably have nightmares for weeks.

UT coaching staff is like watching a soap opera, lets see who can out dumb each other? what a bunch of tools, i can't wait to see uga and uf hang half a hundread on their arse'. Kiffen and company have to resort to this when your program is 8th best in the SEC
April 15th, 2009
10:22 pm
Well at least I've got to give Bruce Pearl credit…he has been humble and respectful of other programs and he has proven he can coach unlike that idiot football coach they have. Had a chance just to say hi when he was down here in Tampa for the SEC Tourney and he was actually pretty cool. Truth be known, its hard not to like Bruce with his wacky sense of humor. I don't like it a bit that he has kinda owned my Gators but you know, I got to respect it. Good coach and funny as hell.
April 15th, 2009

SEC fan, you sure are bitter. sorry that a bunch of guys having fun and NOT taking themselves seriously has your panties in a wad. as for GA and UF hangin' half a hundred on the vols — in your dreams, big man. too bad the DOGS have seen their best days
April 16th, 2009
1:25 am
LOL look at the bitter comments towards Tennessee & Bruce.. You don't have to be a fan of bruce pearl but he has came in and done a remarkable job at UT. Georgia fans can only wish a coach could come in and win the games he's won and sold out just about every game in the arena.. Something Georgia does not do. Who cares if he takes his shirt off, he's having fun with the players and the fans. if you are not a tennessee fan, don't worry about it. We as vol fans are VERY happy to have him!

UGA couldnt hang 10 points on a 2nd string defense in a Spring game!!! Tennessee will have a defense this year that will be 3 times better than the UGA defense. Good Luck and please continue to show your envy!

Nelson it isn't envy its the hilarity of Knoxville.
April 16th, 2009
9:53 am
Knellie, isn't it envy to always show up on a GA newspaper site? As far as your defense being 3x as good, you wouldn't want to wager on that, would you? Per Eric Berry's own words, the defense you are running "IS NO DIFFERENT THEN THE ONE WITH JOHN CHAVIS", his words, not mine. Of course, it wasn't your defense that was the problem last year or the year before, or the year before, you get my drift. Remind me again how many points that Tampa Two gave up last year especially when it counted down the stretch???
April 16th, 2009
9:53 am
Otto, lets see ! In football we own the record. In basketball your team hasnt beaten Tennessee in 4 years. I find it funny that the only teams you can discuss are the ones who beat you more often than they lose to you!
April 16th, 2009
9:55 am
Chavis defense was one of the best in the SEC year after year. I would love to wager but seeing as I doubt you ever have seen the inside of a college classroom you lack the income to do so. I come into the AJC because daily they promote THE VOLS !
April 16th, 2009
10:12 am
I for one thinks Bruce is hot!! He could take he shirt off for me anytime!! Go Vols!
April 16th, 2009
10:16 am
Knellie, I'm blogging from my office while you are blogging from home while your mom's basement. So yes, I will wager. Name your price and I will give you my email addy. Put up or shut up. Give your email addy and I'll email mine. You also made everyone's point about Tn not getting any better. Most vol fans mention Monte as the reason you will be better, you won't have a better defense than you did last year, or the year before, or the year before.
April 16th, 2009
10:37 am
Thanks AJC for keeping us in the news. The enthusiasm from our coaches is phenomenal. While the rest of the SEC may not like it, the UT fans, recruits and players love it, and that is what counts. It is called "having fun", which a lot of you don't seem to understand. Look at all the great and national publicity we have gotten from all our coaches. It has especially been a lot of help with recruiting. Be prepared for the next step….Kiffin and Pearl will soon drop trousers and "moon" all of you.

Reality, your inability to post without taking a personal attack shows your lack of an education as well as the ability to move out of your home. Do you actually have more than a 12th grade education?

Nellie, my inability to post without taking a personal attack? Let's see, (I doubt you have never seen the inside of a college classroom), (You lack the income to do so), and I've seen you make personal attacks on everyone that doesn't agree with you (everyone) because of your ignorance. You have said as such that nobody on here has an education past high school, which in fact, I would venture that most on here has a college degree expect for immature idiots like you. You are a moron and everyone here knows it, like it or not. I do not feel the need to state my education because it is hanging on my wall. Yours?

So you have a high school diploma on your wall? I only state facts , its those like you who cannot see past your red and black fantasy that fail to act with any sense.Just curious if and when Ga loses to UT have you already prepared an excuse? As far as the rest of the posters, I doubt 50% of them have ever seen the inside of a college classroom. That includes you ! No go and spank your puppy, he pee'd on your mommies floor.

I would venture a high school diploma would be more than you have. I guess you're not man enough to take me up on my bet.
