A caveat: I wrote this response to the article while very angry and influenced by much sugary candy, take nothing of what I say as a slander upon your character.
I've played a priest for as long as I've played Wow. It's physically painful for me to NOT heal someone else in a battleground if they're being attacked, even when I'm full shadow spec (from when I think "I'm going to take a break from healing and just enjoy some nice ,quiet dps time, or I'm going to go bat-shit crazy"). There is almost always no whispered thanks or congratulations on topping the healing charts, but the compulsion is still there to heal people, even if I'm silently screaming in my head "nonononononomana". Little green bars haunt my nightmares every night.
Come to think of it, I must be a horrible little masochist.
I've met other healers in the game. They're easily separated into three groups.
The first consists of people who are selfish little sods who demand you kiss the ground they tread on if they're going to consider healing you in bgs (and elsewhere). These are the drama queens. They want to be special.
The second group is made up of that rare bean who actually... wait for it...LIKES TO HEAL because they like OTHER PEOPLE. (I couldn't believe this altruistic reason at first too, but the evidence is damning). They are hard to find, but I think these are the best healers in the game. They really do care about you. The main point is, however, that they are hard to find.
The third group is made up of the poor sods who rolled a class that CAN, in theory, heal, and were heavily encouraged to do so. They might be very good at healing, or they might suck ass, but they heal.
I would rather a few healers who want to and enjoy healing do the healing in a bg rather than a lot of people who can, in theory, heal, but do not enjoy healing give half-hearted attempts. (The prima donnas should just go diaf, imo.)
Happily now, I play a hunter, and, upon my oath! it has made me less an angry person.
Oh, I forgot to say that the only people who are on my "watch list" - the list of people I will always heal, #1 priority - are the people who've taken a few moments in bgs to be kind and help me survive a bit longer when a rogue decides to be smart and find the enemy healer. The people I will never heal - and there is of course a list - are mostly people who scream at me for calling out incs and requesting help defending a node/graveyard/etc. Small acts of kindness go a long way.
I fall into your 2nd category. I quit wow and now I'm about to make a return because I can't stand and watch my friends play without remembering how much I LOVED healing. I love being resto because of how the difference it makes. Take 8 versus 15: The odds are low but when it's a race against the clock, healing my ass off can allow that my team to put up a helluva fight and thus slow the progress of the other. I enjoy healing. Watching the mayhem around me... tabbing to target the enemy to see which team mate of mine they're trying to down first. Focus heal and chain heal off of that team member... it's just fun.
Furthermore, I like the internal debate with myself; Is it "without me they die" or "without them I die"? Knowing how the dps continues because of heals and the other way around helps me visualize the relationship I have with the battlefield whether I like my team mates or not.
I just wanted to throw that out there.

"S.F. Zoo gets Martha the tiger to replace Tiger Shot after attacked by 3 Men Christmas 3 years ago"
Uh, en realidad, we don't actually know that "3 Men" "attacked" that tiger, do we? Hey, what about the minor who died? He was less than 18, right? Oh, and you're saying he attacked the tiger along with brothers Dhaliwal, you know that for a fact that all three of them did that, huh? You and the zoo have videotape you've been sitting on all these years, maybe…

All the deets:
Olympic icon Jonny Moseley partners with House of Air, will host Opening Weekend festivities as 'Brand Ambassadair'
SAN FRANCISCO (September 16, 2010) – On the day after House of Air
opened its doors to the public, owners Paul McGeehan and Dave
Schaeffer were thrilled to announce a new partnership with Olympic
Gold-Medalist Jonny Moseley. The former "Sportsman of the Year" will
serve as an 'Ambassadair' for the ground-breaking trampoline park,
helping to spread the word about the venue's ability to make "Flyers"
out of all of us.
"When I first heard about House of Air, I knew it was something that I
wanted to be a part of," said Moseley. "What I like most about it is
the fact that it offers something for everyone. Whether you're a
highly-skilled athlete looking to hone your skills, or an adult or
child looking to experience the joy of flying, you're guaranteed to
have a great time."
Moseley also stated that he will be hosting House of Air's grand
opening celebration, which will begin on Friday, September 17 and
continue throughout the weekend. The celebration will include live
DJs, exciting raffle giveaways, and demonstrations from expert
jumpers. "We're going to have a lot of fun this weekend," added
Moseley, who will be doing interviews with the media throughout the
weekend. "I'll be judging a "dinner roll" competition on Friday
evening. The winner will receive a pair of K2 HardSide skis, so
hopefully lots of people will be eager to show off their moves."
The weekend's festivities will kick off on Friday at 1:00pm with a
ribbon cutting ceremony, and will last all evening, before resuming
again on Saturday morning. Those who would like to purchase tickets
to jump during these or any other times can do so by visiting
House of Air is located at 926 Mason Street at West Crissy Field in
the Presidio of San Francisco. Prices start at $14 per hour for open
trampoline jump time; each additional hour is $10. House of Air will
be open Monday – Thursday, 10 a.m. – 10 p.m.; Friday, 10 a.m. – 11
p.m.; Saturday, 9 a.m. – 11 p.m. and Sunday, 9 a.m. – 9 p.m. House of
Air will also be open for fitness classes at 6 a.m. and 7 a.m. daily.

Folks at the not-yet-Yelp-rated House of Air Tramp Park are counting down to T-Day, the day it finally opens.
And they're bursting with pride already. Check their Media Page for quotes like these:
"…the best thing to have happened to San Francisco since the chicken and waffle box, indoor trampoline park House of Air – Brock Keeling – SFist.com"
We'll be offered Trampoline Dodgeball and Trampoline Basketball and what could be better than that (other than Trampoline Thunderdome ultimate fighting with no holds barred)?
It's here, it's finally here! An hour of tramping will cost just $14:

Will you attend any of the Grand Opening days? Remember it's not really at the 900 block of Mason Street atop Nob Hill and it's not at Fort Mason, neither. It's in the Presidio on the way to the Golden Gate Bridge
See you there!
A different kind of flying at historic Building 926:
All the deets:
Countdown To Liftoff Underway at House of Air. Revolutionary Trampoline Park Set to Open on September 15, 2010
With exactly one week until the official opening of their ground-breaking trampoline park, owners Paul McGeehan and Dave Schaeffer are thrilled to begin counting down to the day they have long dreamed of. Beginning on Wednesday, September 15, people of all ages and ability levels will be able to take flight at House of Air, which is located at the western edge of San Francisco's
Chrissy Field.
McGeehan and Schaeffer are also excited to announce that, beginning on Friday, September 17 and continuing all weekend, the venue will be staging a Grand Opening Celebration. The event will feature demonstrations from experienced flyers, a live DJ, food and drinks,
and other exciting details that will be announced soon. "We can't believe we're only a week away from opening," said Schaeffer. "We
encourage anyone and everyone to come get a firsthand look at this amazing space."
"House of Air was designed to appeal to everyone," added McGeehan. "Flyers will be able to soar on any of House of Air's multiple trampoline structures, each of which were created to fulfill a different thrill."
Ever more deets, after the jump
Of course it doesn't matter if not-ready-for-primetime Deborah Perez is "crazy" or not – if she has all this evidence proving the identity of the Zodiac Killer then it will be useful for her to turn it over to the San Francisco Police Department. So here's the news, the SFPD is amenable to spending a little time hearing her story. Is that surprising? Not really, but read on to see the latest Press Release.
Artist's conception of Lil Debby Perez at the scene of the Berryessa slaying:
If I may so bold, enjoy my comments as well:
Daughter of the Zodiac Killer to Be Questioned by the SFPD
How about "purported daughter"?
Investigative Reporter/Journalist Larry Garrison Comes Forward to Support the Evidence that Guy Hendrickson is the Zodiac Killer
"Support the Evidence." What?
For the first time in twenty-five years, the San Francisco Police Department will call in a key potential witness for questioning to identify the Zodiac Killer officially.
All right.
Deborah Perez has been called in by Lt. Michael Staskos (badge No. 724) of the SFPD Homicide Unit.
All right.
Date to appear is June 17, 2009.
All right.
She will be questioned about her father, Guy Ward Hendrickson.
All right.
The nation's top forensic experts have endorsed her handwriting, psychological, and DNA evidence showing participation in the Zodiac Killings.
Oh no they didn't!
Her evidence was recently turned over to Lt. Staskos SFPD.
All right.
Deborah Perez was seven years old at the time she became his innocent sidekick.
Oh no she wasn't!
Deborah became aware of her father's involvement in the Zodiac murders years later after viewing a segment of "America's Most Wanted" composite that resembled her father.
But what if Guy Ward Hendrickson isn't the Zodiac?
On April 29th, she came forward with a press conference at the San Francisco Chronicle.
Really? At the Chronicle? Ha ha ha ha ha! How about on the sidewalk near the Chronicle?
The glasses which she handed over to Lt. Michael Staskos on May 5th, currently held in evidence by SFPD, will be part of the DNA proof needed.
How do you know that?
Deborah Perez feels she "…owes it to the families of the victims to put this case to rest."
All right.
Though others have come forward, no one has been able to substantiate a claim as Deborah has achieved with eye witness testimony, forensic and DNA evidence.
DNA evidence? Really? Deborah is so unique and special, a bunch of old white guys should make a movie about her, or something.
She is also the only witness ever endorsed by members of famed attorney Melvin M. Belli, who the Zodiac contacted.
"Members of famed attorney Melvin M. Belli" Really? "Endorsed." What? Wasn't Melvin Belli kind of a hack? I know an attorney – he used to work for/with Melvin Belli back in the 1990′s, had to sue to get paid the salary he was owed. Does this experience qualify him to divine the Zodiac?
The Belli group has requested the Zodiac Killer/Melvin Belli Files which SFPD has in possession for 40 years.
The "Belli Group"? Is that a law firm?
Larry Garrison, President of SilverCreek Entertainment, and Investigative Reporter/Journalist, has just come on board to support Deborah Perez.
Well, Katie bar the door! Mr. Garrison? Really?
After his own investigations, Garrison verified the evidence including handwriting analysis reports of Perez with professionals.
No he didn't!
Garrison has been shown that "Deborah, in fact, wrote those Zodiac letters and her DNA will be on at least one of the envelopes."
Nice passive voice there!
Attorneys from the Belli office have also confirmed that Deborah was in fact the child who accompanied her father, Guy Ward Hendrickson, to Mr. Melvin Belli's office.
Attorneys? Former attorneys? Disbarred attorneys? Well, gee, if an attorney believes something, it MUST be true!
Larry Garrison states, "The proof will be in the forensic evidence and DNA once Deborah has her chance to have it analyzed."
Oh, poor Little Debby! Was she too busy signing movie deals to actually turn over her "evidence" in 2007?
And On it Goes.
To Be Continued…

The San Antonio Spurs made NBA history this week by hiring the first female assistant coach in league history. Becky Hammon is finishing up her 16 year career in the WNBA and will begin work this coming season working with Gregg Popovich on scouting, game planning and practice. In a statement Popovich said " I'm confident her basketball IQ, work ethic and interpersonal skills will be a great benefit to the Spurs". Hammon, who has played with the WNBA franchise in San Antonio, is a friend of Tim Duncan and Tony Parker, so the transition might be easier than it would be for someone else, someplace else. Hammon says that although there will probably never be a female player in the NBA because of the strength factor..she believes that when it comes to mind things...like game-planning, coming up with offensive and defensive schemes and things like that there is no reason that a woman cant coach men. The Spurs would seem to be the best situation for this as well. They have long been on the cutting edge of trends in the NBA...using foreign born players for example. Gregg Popovich is one of the greatest coaches in league history and does nothing for effect. If he believes that Hammon is ready and can do the job...who are we to argue. Were it that way in every field of endeavor.
We have our own version of Becky Hammon here in Central Wisconsin. Dina Rasmussen has been coaching boys hockey at Wausau East since 2002 and doing an excellent job.
The Green Bay Packers seem to be back on the injury train. Don Barclay is the latest to fall and that could be a big one. Barclay is penciled in to be a back up at most of the offensive line positions.
Gerardo Parra is already paying dividends for the Milwaukee Brewers. He has made a number of great catches so far including last night. He also hit his first home run last night which broke a tie and led to a victory over the Giants. Expect to see him get more time...especially late in games..
Paul DeJong of the Woodchucks kept up his power surge last night in the Major League Dreams Showcase in Madison. He hit two home runs in front of a bevy of major league scouts. Power hitters in college baseball are getting fewer and fewer . You know he's on the radar of alot of major league teams.

KENNEWICK, Wash.-- More than 500 people visited the Tri-City Model Railroaders show in Kennewick Saturday.
Close to 300 feet of tracks weaved through the Benton PUD auditorium.
The display included electric trains traveling through decorated scenes.
The track was originally built in 1990 but the Tri-City Model Railroaders group continues to make upgrades so the public can enjoy the displays.
"Most people when they think of a model train, they think of a train running around the Christmas tree. This is a serious model railroad. High electronics, high tech, just a lot of fun," said Bob Jekel, Tri-City Model Railroaders.
The show also included clinics to teach people about the hobby.
Jekel said they plan to have another show some time this summer.

Welcome to another week of Travel Photo Thursday. Food prices here in Korea have skyrocketed of late, so its time to find an outdoor market close to home. I did just that last night; purchased my weeks vegetables at a fraction of the cost, when compared to the supermarket. I also bought a block of Korean firm tofu. I hated tofu until I started living in Korea, but now it's one of my favorites. Why? Korean tofu has a much different texture than what I was used to in Canada (mushy), and I have learned to cook with it. Plus, my traveling taste buds have simply changed! Last night I had a simple dish of fried tofu; quick, easy, tasty, and so healthy!

Tofu in the pan…cooks very quickly. I cooked mine in a bit of canola oil. A pair of tongs makes it easy to turn the tofu over. You only want to cook until golden brown; no more than 2 minutes on each side.
Cooked tofu served with soy sauce and gochuchang (red pepper paste), for dipping.
Fried tofu is a side dish (banchan) commonly served with Korean barbecue. However, it makes for a light and inexpensive meal when you aren't too hungry. The dipping sauces I used were very simple, straight out of the fridge. The usual dipping sauce takes a little more prep. If you're interested here is a great post at Beyond Kimchee ,showing and telling you everything you need to know to make this easy and healthy Korean dish.

The pictures look a bit deceiving to me. They looked like some sort of pastry at first =) I'm not a fan of tofu but I may need to look for tofu at Koreatown in LA just to compare its texture. Yes, traveling has changed my tastebuds. I was a picky eater until I started traveling. I'm willing to try out local foods now for the experience and to show my kids that it's okay to try out new things. Thanks for the tips, Nancie!

Haven't managed to like tofu yet. But then, it's mostly been mushy.

I don't think that I have even eaten tofu let alone cooked it but my 8 year old has been bugging to have it at home ever since she made some at a cooking camp. I may have to give it a go. Yours looks quite tasty – I actually thought that it looked like shortbread. I have always been a bit of a picky eater but I do make an attempt to try new things in order to encourage the kids to try unfamiliar foods as well.
I'm not sure where you shopped, but any good Asian market will have firm tofu even here in Canada. I've never tried Korean so I'm not sure if there are any other differences.
Soft tofu can be really good. If cooked properly (i.e. with lots of oil in a rocket hot wok) it should be firm on the outside and silky soft on the inside. It really shouldn't be mushy unless it's made in soup. The tofu itself is mostly for texture and the flavor depends entirely on the sauce or seasoning.

I made tofu burgers years ago and nearly died. Texture was horrible. It took me decades to get over that experience. I now buy silken Tofu and make a banana chocolate pudding. That hides the tofu quite nicely and makes it very palatable.
I;ll have to be brave and try Korean tofu one of these days.

I agree with Sophie. I don't like tofu, but I have never had firm tofu. Maybe someday.

jade recently posted…Summer Traditions Nashville: Arrington Vineyards Wine
Yum! As a vegetarian, tofu is a lifesaver for me, and I eat it a few times a week. The texture can definitely be an acquired taste. Your post reminded me of a Korean restaurant here in Utah called "Tofu." They have the most delicious offerings! Travel has really broadened my culinary horizons, but I always struggle with meat-related issues wherever I go :-)
Andi at The Particular Traveler recently posted…Travel Tip: Take the City Tour!
I like tofu and would love to eat the snack you prepared. My stepmother is Indonesian and fries tofu often, always eating it with yummy sauces.
If I wasn't allergic to soy I would totally give this a try.

Given the workers brought in to build the Western railway at the turn of the last century I'm just used to some Asian population in even the smallest of small towns in British Columbia. Sometimes it's easy to forget how different things are on the other side of this giant country. The last time I was in Halifax was 1998 but I didn't get out of the airport! I'm glad that you've found your taste for Tofu and your dish looks yummy!

It's encouraging to know that there are types of tofu that might be better than what I've tried in the past! You make is look pretty good.
Cindy recently posted…Photo Thursday: Where Do They Teach You These Lines?
I didn't like tofu the first time I tried it, it was too bland and mushy. Then a friend introduced me to tofu shakes and I took a second look. I made it almost everyday — very filling! — until my taste buds screamed.
A few years later, I had a dinner party and had to come up with something for a few vegetarian friends and found a jerk tofu vegetable stir fry that was a hit even for the non-vegans and made me go back to tofu. I usually get a medium firm tofu for cooking and a softer one for shakes. Then I discovered that soy doesn't like me.
I too haven't found the joys of tofu. I have to say, your tofu did look delicious!
Debbie Beardsley recently posted…The World of Violins in Mittenwald
Unlike my husband, who will try anything once, I am not an adventurous eater. HOWEVER, we do try to sample the local cuisine wherever we travel. It's part of saying "we've been there". I haven't found a cuisine yet that doesn't have a flavorful take on chicken or veggies. And, I like dessert in every language.
Allison recently posted…Zion National Park for Families
Yes, I like fried tofu, and I have no problem finding all varieties of Tofu in regular grocery stores in Tucson, AZ from firm to soft.
Interesting question about travel changing taste buds. I think it probably has made me more aware of the endless variety of cheeses and the benefits of fresh, fresh fruits and veggies.
Vera Marie Badertscher recently posted…Travel Photos: Monet's Gardens Travel
You mention going to markets, Nancie, and that's exactly what many people do here in Chile for better prices than in the supermarket. It's a tradition, too.
Tofu is just so versatile, as well as being healthy. It looks just great here in your photos!

Help with MSI 1714
Help with MSI (Microsoft Installer) error 1714: The older version of [2] cannot be removed. Contact your technical support group. System Error [3].
so that the conversation will remain readable.
This problem occurs when the MSI is set to remove any previous instances before installing an upgrade, and Windows Installer is unable to remove the previous instance. This is normally due to a corruption or loss of required entries/files on your system in order to uninstall the software. To prove this, go to Add/Remove programs and attempt to remove the software- the uninstall should again fail (but may provide more detail as to why).
If you cannot uninstall the software, use Microsoft's Windows Installer Cleanup Utility to remove the previous version from your system.
Note: you may want to backup any data files (.dat, .xml, etc.) before doing so if you hope to retain settings or other such data between the older version and the new one being installed.
Error 1714 usually occurs because of previous half installed or half uninstalled software. So I think you need to first completetly uninstall, clean the system and then try to reinstall. Here is the link for one such problem and it's solution - http://www.techyv.com/questions/older-version-symantec-antivirus-cannot-be-removed
Hope it helps..thanks

The Quaker Oats Guy Gets Photoshopped
Food News
In an effort to keep the Quaker brand "fresh and innovative," parent company PepsiCo gave Larry, the jolly old man on the cover of every Quaker Oats box, a makeover. The new Larry has shorter hair, a thinner face, and looks about five to ten years younger. See a before and after below:
You'll notice Larry now has shoulders, intended to make "him seem stronger and more vibrant," says Michael Connors, the vice president of Hornall Anderson, the brand-design firm in charge of the update. Other changes: Larry's neck stayed the same, but the haircut just "makes him look thinner." The double chin is gone, and the skin smoothed out, which takes off about five pounds and makes Larry look years younger. But, lest he look too young, the design firm left Larry's crow's feet and "a little sparkle in his eye." Pretty good for a guy who's 134 years old!

Quakers named Larry? Doubtful.
5 lbs? More like 20 lbs.
I don't get why they got rid of the iconic oval frame, which was critical to the old branding.
Well, I like it! The font treatment actually makes it look more classic 40's to me.
Larry? Really?
....I can't tell the difference.
LARRY? Seriously?
This is a pretty subtle change. Not bad at all. Now if they just put organic oats in the box I might consider buying them.
I'm with Empress...
I kind of noticed that his double chin disappeared but I can't see the hair hair cut and ten years younger part. larry. larry. huh?
Hmmm... I wonder if Coca-Cola would do the same to its Santa.
After all, Quackerman and Santa are both creations of Haddon Sundblom - they even look a little familiar, if you pay attention.
I don't know about you guys, but I definitely buy my rolled oats based on the guy on the box.

My Parliament
You are here:
The question on the ballot paper was a simple one: 'Should Scotland be an independent country?' ... The answer from Scottish voters was 'No': 55 per cent against independence, 45 per cent in favour.
Bilateral discussions during the Prime Minister's recent flying visit to Malaysia apparently centred on the two Malaysian Airlines flights—MH370 and MH17—and the 'deeper relationship' the two tragedies have forged between Australia and Malaysia. Mr Abbott thanked his host, Prime Minister Najib Razak, by saying 'I could not have asked for a wiser or a stronger friend and counsellor in these tough and difficult times'.
The flexibility which diplomatic cant allows—indeed requires—makes Mr Abbott's comments understandable in the current global circumstances. However, this sound-bite endorsement of Malaysia's leadership obscures much about the very volatile domestic environment, political exigencies and social dislocation that exist within Malaysia today.
As universities around the country hold Open Days, and closing dates for applications for 2015 entry loom, spare a thought for this year's crop of Year 12 students. Not only do they have the usual challenges of deciding what course they want to do, and considering what Australian Tertiary Admissions Rank (ATAR) they might get, they also have no idea how much a university course might cost them.
In the midst of heated debate over the Budget's welfare reforms some significant measures have escaped the headlines, including new restrictions on Disability Support Pension (DSP) recipients travelling overseas. The measures, proposed by the Social Services and Other Legislation (2014 Budget Measures No. 2) Bill 2014, will reduce the time disability pensioners can spend overseas from six-weeks at a time to four weeks in a 12-month period. A number of submissions to the Senate committee inquiry into the Bill, from individual DSP recipients and from welfare groups, took issue with the changes suggesting that DSP was being unfairly targeted and that the measures would increase red tape.
On 5 August 2014, the Government announced its intention to update Australia's telecommunication interception laws. This is part of broader efforts to enhance powers available to security agencies 'to combat home-grown terrorism and Australians who participate in terrorist activities overseas'. This includes developing a mandatory 'metadata' retention system.
Whilst having a period of mandatory metadata retention would be new, the collection of metadata by telecommunications companies and government access to it is not new and is governed by the Telecommunications (Interception and Access) Act 1979 (TIA). Whilst the need for such a scheme was linked to combating terrorism, it is worth noting that Australian and European experience suggests that the most common law enforcement use of metadata will be in non-terrorism criminal cases.

Seamus backed for more goals, plus transfer gossip aplenty.
The views on this page are taken from the local and national media and do not necessarily reflect the views of Everton.
Four players are linked with transfers to Everton in Wednesday's local and national newspapers.
The Liverpool Echo claims that Republic of Ireland winger Aiden McGeady is close to signing a pre-contract agreement with the Blues which would see him make a free transfer to Merseyside in the summer once his deal with Spartak Moscow has expired.
The same article also suggests that Toffees boss Roberto Martinez is interested in Blackpool attacker Tom Ince and Dundee United's young defenders Andrew Robertson and John Souttar.
The Daily Star says that if Everton were to sign Robertson during this transfer window, they would have to pay £1.5million to secure his services.
Nikica Jelavic is once again the subject of speculation, with the Daily Mail this time linking the Croatian with a January move to Crystal Palace.
Away from transfer gossip, Martinez has told the Echo that he expects Seamus Coleman to finish with a goals return in double figures this season. The Republic of Ireland man has already netted six goals this term from right-back.
Elsewhere, the Daily Mirror report that Leighton Baines should be fit that face Norwich this Saturday, although it is likely to be towards the end of the month before Phil Jagielka, Sylvain Distin and Gerard Deulofeu are all back in action.

Las Vegas, NV (SportsNetwork.com) - A pair of late free throws by Jared Brownridge pushed Santa Clara to a 66-65 win over the South Florida Bulls during the championship round of the Las Vegas Classic at Orleans Arena.
Brownridge finished the meeting with 10 points for the Broncos (7-6), matching the production of Jalen Richard who also cleared seven rebounds in a reserve role. Brandon Clark was the top scorer for the team with 12 points, while Jerry Brown cleared a team-high 11 boards as the team won for the fourth time in the last five outings.
The Bulls (8-4) were paced by Victor Rudd who came up a rebound shy of a double-double as he dropped in a game-high 19 points. Chris Perry pitched in with 13 points, although he shot just 1-of-7 at the free-throw line, followed by John Egbunu and Shemiye McLendon with 11 and 10 points, respectively. Egbunu also pulled down 11 rebounds for a USF team that lost for the second time in as many games.
Santa Clara shot a mere 9-of-29 (.310) from the floor in the first half, but the team was still able to slip out to a 28-25 advantage at the break, thanks in part to USF suffering nine turnovers in the period.
The Bulls narrowed their mistakes to just five over the final 20 minutes of action and fought back with an impressive 65.4 percent from the floor, but after taking the late lead South Florida watched the game slip away.
USF shot an impressive 55.1 percent from the floor on the night, but that still wasn't good enough to overcome a dreadful 9-of-24 showing at the free- throw line.

Chapter Two2 Reviews
chapter two
"I, uh--- Sorry. I... err--- My bad." I stumbled over the words mortifyingly. I thouhg I was gona have to run off like a scared girl because of my nerves.
Iero! You listen, and you listen well: this is you fucking chance and if you blow it... So help me GOD I'll murder my own damn self just to teach you a lesson!
Got it. Okay. Lesson learned. Say something! "SorrymynameisFrank." If that statement go any more jumbled I don't know if the world would continue. Seriously, that was horrid.
She smiled lightly; he lip ring glinted in the over head light. "Frank." I think she said it to confirm that's actually what I said seeing as how I said about 47329 miles an hour. I half-nodded not wanting to look stupid if she wasn't saying my name to make sure that's what I said my name was to begin with. I need to lay off the coffee.
"I'm Krisan." Now that's a name. 'I'm Frank' LAME. Now, Krisan, Krisan's a name. I should have expected as much with the way she acts and stuff.
I, being the stalker I am, am at this point quite desperate for any from of conversation with this girl no matter what the topic... including weather. "So, uh, you from around.... here?" I asked with obvious hesitation. I don't know why I was nervous. I wasn't hitting on her or anything, but I sure as hell wanted to leave a good first and maybe last impression.
"Sort of," she said vaguely in that dreamy mixed-accented voice. It sounded as if she was guarding something or reminiscing. Maybe both.
"Care to elaborate?" I asked smugly, suddenly gaining my confidence again. Glad too because he smile widened and when she opened her mouth to speak I was yet another glint of a tongue ring.
"Ok then, but you asked," Krisan said warningly. "I was born and raised for the most part in Alabama, but I.... uh..... left at fourteen and moved to PA." Pennsylvania, I knew that. See I could keep up, I'm not completely retarded. "Then when I turned eighteen I moved to the lovely area of Belleville, New Jersey," she said with false enthusiasm.
"You should right a book about that seriously," I laughed. Who knew you could get a basic biography with one simple question? Though, the fact she was at least eighteen didn't go unnoticed by me either.
She rolled her eyes. "And you? You from Jersey or just play here a helluva lot?" she asked with a giggle.
"Jersey born and Jersey bread, cara mia," I said without taking notice to the fact that I slipped in 'my darling' at the end. Thankfully it was in Italian but still.
"Lei parla italiano?" she asked in a heavy Italian accent. Fuck. The one girl in the whole damn state who actually speaks the language happens to be the one I fuck up in front of. Great.
"Fluentemente, ma io preferisco l'inglese," I said awkwardly. Actually, I prefer Italian, but it is the language of love and I'm not taking any chances.
"Cool." I was glad she reverted back to English because I can barely keep my foot out of my mouth in one language much less another, more romantic one! There was a bit of a long pause.
"Well, I guess I uh, go now," Krisan said awkwardly. I don't blame her I'd want to leave if I was stuck talking to a tongue-tied me too. Then it hit me: she only wanted to leave because no one was saying anything.
"Wait!" I almost shouted. "Erm, you wanna, I dunno, hang back stage with my band?" And I always hated when Gerard said 'my band' (it all of OUR band!) and here I was doing it! I'm loopy.
She nodded her head. That's a yes in any language. We walked back in the direction I had just come from and got quite a few stares.....
........I kinda liked it.
No I don't want c heese on tha---
OH! Hey, there y'all are! Hope you enjoyed the update.
you know the drill. Review. and this time I have a poll.
(it's story related, I swear)
Bert McCracken
Matt Pelliser (old drummer of My Chem.)

I'm not saying what it's for, but make sure that..... there is a LOT of drama to work with. Keep in mind that one of the choices (I'm not saying which) is cliche and I hate cliches...

Business Ideas in the News / February 11, 2014
Today's consumer market is quite different than it was a decade ago: the large age group called the "baby boomers" are entering their golden years; more seniors are living by themselves than ever before and are therefore in charge of the household purchases; and, according to Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project, over 53 percent of Americans over the age of 65 regularly log on to PCs, laptops, and tablets. What does this mean for marketers and business-owners? Older, mature adults are a consumer base that should not be overlooked, and outdated advertising tactics are rapidly diminishing in effectiveness.
This population's increased web traffic has resulted in a significant raise in the number of seniors with Facebook accounts. In fact, the use of social networking sites by this age group grew 150% in just two years. The report Digital Seniors states that, of the approximately 20 million seniors currently using the Internet, almost half of them are on Facebook.
How can marketers appeal to this untapped niche? Here are four ways that businesses can successfully reach seniors through their Facebook business pages, and examples of companies that are already on the right track.
With seniors using Facebook in record numbers, marketers have a great opportunity to reach them directly. However, it's not enough just to have a Facebook business page. By utilizing these suggestions, businesses can make the most out of their marketing plans.

Michael P. D'Alessandro, M.D.
Peer Review Status: Internally Peer Reviewed
Chylothorax is the accumulation of lymphatic fluid in the pleural space. Abruptly elevated venous pressure during delivery can lead to thoracic duct rupture which leads to intrapleural accumulation of lymph fluid. Initially the fluid is serous, but turns chylous after milk feedings. This is the most frequent cause of a large pleural effusion in newborn. It is rarely bilateral, and is rarely associated with generalized lymphangiomatosis. It is diagnosed and usually managed successfully via thoracenteses.
Not applicable
Imaging Findings:
Usually unilateral and usually on right side (60%). It is difficult to find the exact site of lymph extravasation with contrast studies.

American Bar Association President William T. Robinson addressed the 75 California Western School of Law graduates receiving their Juris Doctor and Master of Laws degrees today, at a ceremony held at the Hilton San Diego Bayfront.
Robinson inspired them to carry the mission of serving others and the responsibility of serving the profession into their careers. "As a lawyer, no matter what you choose to do, your commitment to others will be unique," he said.
Robinson captured the emotion felt by many graduates as he reflected on his own journey from law student to practicing attorney. "I can still remember my graduation and the optimism I felt that day," he said, continuing, "the optimism you are feeling today is well-earned and well-placed."
Welcoming Address speaker and California Western graduating student Vanessa C. Gerard shared that optimism as she looked to the future. "No matter what type of law we choose to go into, we are advocates with the training and the skills to hit the ground running," she told her classmates.
Gerard served as an award-winning National Moot Court and Trial Team member, Vice President of the Student Bar Association, and recipient of numerous Academic Achievement awards during her time at California Western.
Honorary Degree Recipients
As part of the commencement ceremony, honorary degrees were awarded to ABA President William Robinson and the following members of the California Western Board of Trustees:
- Nancy A. Marlin, Provost of San Diego State University
- M. Boone Hellman, Associate Vice Chancellor for Facilities Design and Construction and Campus Architect at University of California, San Diego
- J. Randall Jones '81, Founding Partner of Kemp, Jones & Courthard in Las Vegas

Pinterest: The new home sweet home for real-estate ideas?
For many homeowners, real-estate agents and homebuilders, this online scrapbook is more than just a pretty space. Homeowners say it helps streamline planning for home projects, and agents and homebuilders are using it to understand and connect with potential customers.
Courtesy of Pinterest.com
One of the Internet's fastest-growing sites is Pinterest, a virtual bulletin board where users can collect and organize images, be they fashion inspiration, recipe ideas — or dream-home fantasies.
"Home" is the No. 1 category of "pins" on the site, accounting for 17.2% of all pinning, according to a study by business-intelligence firm R.J. Metrics. When Pinterest users — 80% of whom are women — find images they like, they can add the photos to one of their Pinterest "boards," which allow them to organize images by category. Ideas for healthful after-school snacks might go on one board, while summer-outfit ideas may go on another. Get the basics or read the FAQs on Pinterest's site.
Homeowners say it's a great way to plan home projects small and large – and is a big step up from ripping pages out of magazines.
Sara Abbott, a mother of three who works from home outside of Boston, says she started pinning as soon as she got an invitation to the site. Her intent was to use the online bulletin board to plan parties, but she says it quickly took on a life of its own when she started to pin ideas for her home renovation.
"I pinned everything my heart desired, and I shared it with my architect," she says. "When he brought us the first round of drawings, it was as if he'd been living in my head. The most minor details, like brick pavers in the mudroom, were included."
Now that she has moved on to selecting appliances, she's pinning those items to a different board on Pinterest. "It's helping me to compare prices between manufacturers because I'm not just bookmarking the page to a folder on my desktop and forgetting it's there," Abbott says.
Another homeowner, Jessica Albon, says she is planning a kitchen remodel for her home in Winston-Salem, N.C., with the help of Pinterest.

"What I love about the site is that there's so much variety," she says. "When I'm completely drawing a blank, I can just search randomly until I start getting a better idea of what I like. It's sort of like having access to all the back issues of every great decorating magazine ever — all searchable."

Whether she's planning the kitchen remodel that's six to eight months away or the light fixture she's creating for her office, she says Pinterest is a great way to gather images that help her better envision a project. "It's really helpful to see everything at a glance," she says. "It makes it easier to see how the different things I love come together — or don't."
An influx of users
Pinterest isn't exactly new. The site's creators registered the domain in 2009. But its popularity has taken off like wildfire in the past few months. ComScore reported that the number of unique visitors jumped 52% from January to February, to more than 17.8 million.
At least a few of those new users are real-estate agents, who are eager to see how Pinterest can help them connect with homebuyers and sellers — and possibly increase their business. The National Association of Realtors' "The Member's Edge" blog had a post in early March for agents about how to get started using the site to drive Web traffic and build business.
Sue Eller, an agent in La Canada, Calif., says she sees Pinterest primarily as an opportunity to connect with buyers and sellers on a personal level. "I use all of these social tools to show that I'm not just a Realtor," she says. "What better use of Pinterest than to leverage affinity marketing? You post back and forth and get to know each other. It accelerates their knowledge of you, and you learn about people.
"You're more apt to listen to your Realtor if you're on the same wavelength from the beginning," she says. "Buying a home is your biggest financial decision, and people have a tendency to be distrustful of Realtors. What better way to circumvent the high wall of mistrust?"
For many agents on Pinterest, getting traffic back to their site is a goal. "I'm posting things from my website and blogs and hoping to get the links back to my website and to drive traffic," says Karen Highland, an agent in Frederick, Md. "I've only been on it a month or two now, and I've seen a little bump in traffic."
Mike Bowler, a Lansing, Mich., agent, says that getting traffic is important but that agents should be sure to also repin content from others.
"You don't go there to sell; you're going there to build relationships," he says. The more you pin other people's work, the better relationships you're going to end up building, rather than pinning a bunch of your own stuff."
Highland and Bowler are teaching other agents about social media and use Pinterest as an idea aggregator.
As far as buying and selling homes, Bowler says he believes Pinterest will be more effective in marketing communities rather than specific properties. "Normally, on a resale home, (buyers) are shopping lifestyle more than the home itself," he says. So agents can use Pinterest to help brand themselves as community experts. Highland has several pin boards about things to do in Frederick and its neighborhoods, and Eller has posted about interesting architecture, parks and activities all over her city.

But so far, agents say it's impossible to measure whether Pinterest is really helping them gain business. "It's really hard to directly measure, 'Did I get a lead from this?'" Highland says. "But it's adding to who I am in social media and getting out there and being known."
She says being active on sites such as Pinterest will keep her "top of mind" with followers and friends. So if a time comes when they are looking to buy or sell, they'll remember, "Oh yeah, Karen sells real estate."
Valuable insight
Kristin Tavcar-France, marketing coordinator for homebuilder Taylor Morrison Austin, says she sees Pinterest as a "terrific branding opportunity" for builders. "We're always looking for new ways to reach our homebuyers," she says. "Pinterest is the perfect platform; it allows us the ability to capture an audience's imagination through the imagery of our homes."
But Pinterest is also market research. "We're able to see what specific things other Pinterest users are repinning," she says. "This is helpful data to us as a company. Pinterest helps show us what people really love and what they're interested in when it comes to their home."
Agents can gain insight, too, by working with buyers to determine what they're seeking. A first-time buyer's "dream home" pin board may depict a far-fetched fantasy, but it does reveal tastes and preferences to an agent who is helping the buyer take the first step toward that dream.
Homeowner Abbott says Pinterest has given her an effective way to share her thoughts and ideas with her husband. "I can share information in one link with my husband, so he can access everything in one place," she says. "It's much more effective and efficient than just waiting around for him to come home to discuss it, or tearing pages out of a magazine or — what we used to do — drive around looking at homes (and) trying to figure out what we like."
Copyright and other concerns
For all its popularity and growth, Pinterest has spurred some concerns about attribution, ownership and copyright. On its etiquette page, Pinterest instructs users to credit the original source for pinned images whenever possible. But there have been complaints from content creators who worry their images will be distributed without credit or permission, and from pinners who weren't sure what content they were permitted to post.
One notable complaint was from photographer and lawyer Kristen Kowalski, who deleted several of her pin boards because of her concerns. Her blog post about "tearfully deleting" those pin boards prompted Pinterest CEO Ben Silbermann to call her for input on how to rework the site's terms and conditions.
A Washington Post story in March indicated that the company was looking into the issue, and the site recently revised its terms of service. But Kowalski says on her blog that her concerns have not been addressed: "Because my inspiration boards would contain nothing but artistic creations by other photographers, most of whom did not give permission, I remain concerned that I would be violating the law."

Attorney Richard Stim, Nolo.com's intellectual-property expert, writes on his blog: "Copyright owners are like grizzly bears. If you're not on their radar and you're not depriving them of food, they'll probably leave you alone. … Anyway, that's probably true for most Pinterest users, too — nothing is going to happen to them unless they attract a lot of attention or start making money off other people's content."
Pinterest's updated terms of service did address an issue some users had with language that gave Pinterest the right to sell content. From the Pinterest blog post announcing the changes: "Our original terms stated that by posting content to Pinterest you grant Pinterest the right for us to sell your content. Selling content was never our intention and we removed this from our updated terms."
Pinterest also deleted a clause that discouraged the use of the site for self-promotion.
If the time has come to promote your home, you shouldn't be putting things off identifying should you publish a sign before it, unless of course obviously, clearly, you're trying to help keep the acquisition a secret, otherwise you just don't want anybody to buy it. Any sales rep will show you that the key answer to selling something is telling people who it's indeed available. Real estate agents should recognize that this principle is relevant whether it's a grime hut or some gargantuan little bit of property the customers have to know they could purchase it! When I suppose so nearly everything available features a cost, not we're Lex Luthors by having an unlimited arrange for everything we would like. Really, it absolutely was in reference to the property that Mr. Luthor mentioned, "You'll be able to print money, manufacture diamonds, and people certainly are a cent twelve, but they'll always need land. It's the one factor they aren't visiting an infinitely more of.Inch Clearly, he mentioned that before he used his latest plan machine to make a whole island from nothing in the coast of Metropolis, nevertheless the principle more-or-less still stands. Well, the important thing stands if you don't count the man-made islands in the coast of Dubai that have been initially supposed to have been provided to multimillionaires as goods, that people don't count since they're tragically sinking in to the sea. True story, Google it. Keep reading for more information and tips on >
There is also a handful of different signs options, made to convey different messages, both literal and existential. A sharpied little bit of ripped corrugated duct recorded with a stop sign certainly conveys an email, as would something stylish. A small budget "Available By Owner" sign guaranteed to the yard frequently means "purchase it if you'd like it, I'm not prone to pay some property schmuck thousands of dollars to promote it, similar to I'm not prone to spend a hundred dollars around the sign." It'll obtain the purpose across to make certain, however it won't attract anybody hunting for a particular amount of professionalism. Employing a choice real estate agent will certainly enable you to get some pretty choice property signs, nevertheless, you may miss out round the passers with this might offer you some brake lights, then some reverse lights, searching for your "he's a guy, I'm a guy, let's produce a deal" approach.
The general rule this really is really as with anything: moderation. Lots of pretzels forces you to thirsty, but sinking forces you to dead. Have a very pretzel, possess a sip. Ideally, you have to search for a "Available" sign won't scare anybody away, and let's everybody know you're that "Hey, I'm selling the home, let me demonstrate around" kind of guy.
I am hoping this will help choose how you can market your the place to find as much people as you can, rather than scare any potential customers away prematurely!
