A rhombus is actually just a special type of parallelogram.
Recall that in a parallelogram each pair of opposite sides are equal in length.
With a rhombus, all four sides are the same length.It therefore has all the properties of a parallelogram.
See Definition of a parallelogram
Its a bit like a square that can 'lean over'
and the interior angles need not be 90°.
Sometimes called a 'diamond' or 'lozenge' shape.

I was so totally impressed with the acting skills of Kristin and Robert. They were so believeable as husband and wife and so very endearing. At the wedding when they were kissing the first time and the screen panned to empty benches, if any of you remember kissing your love that you do feel absolutely alone. I thought this was a real touch for a first married kiss, it was only the two of them. The dream Bella had before the wedding was in the book but there was a baby I think sitting on…Continue

What metaphors for sex are used in your country?
In his talk, sexuality educator Al Vernacchio laments the flawed metaphor that many Americans use to talk about sex: baseball. Instead of this regulated and competitive framework, he suggest that we think about sex like pizza -- a communicative and collaborative experience.
The baseball metaphor is indeed very common in the US. So I wondered, what metaphors for sex are commonly used in other countries or in other languages? Are there Americans, too, who grew up with a different metaphor? And what else besides pizza would be a helpful new one?
Share some funny or interesting euphemisms for sex from your own culture!

Joe LucyJul 18 2013: "Doing it" is seemingly the most popular here (without swearing of course), which kind of makes me think that the whole world must revolve around sex, because "it" is a very general term and can apply to many different things; everything is an it. There are some swear words too "F***ing" is a popular one, making me think that sex is bad as it's an expression of bad, which is interesting because of the double meaning for a swear word.

Bird-Like Wings Carry Man 330 Feet
March 21, 2012 by UPI - United Press International, Inc.
THE HAGUE, Netherlands, March 21 (UPI) — A Dutch man said he completed a flight of about 330 feet using homemade wings based on those of a bird.
Jarno Smeets, 31, an engineer, said he controlled the 55-foot wings using two Nintendo Wii controllers, the accelerometers from an HTC Wildfire S smartphone and Turnigy motors when he took off Sunday at a park in The Hague and flew for about a minute.
"Ever since I was a little boy I have been inspired by pioneers like Otto Lilienthal, Leonardo da Vinci and also my own grandfather," Smeets said.
Smeets has been chronicling his progress on the Human Bird Wings project on YouTube.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
it's not that said...
A few thoughts:
1) When 4.1 hits, remember that it will take a few months for the effects of this change to stabilize. I believe we'll have faster queues at first, but a higher proportion of groups will fail due to bad tanking. Newb tanks will learn and get better. Noob tanks that can't handle anything remotely complex will continue to fail and eventually go back to queueing DPS. So I think there's hope for the long run.
2) It sucks that tanks can't queue with friends. They should tweak it so that you can queue with one person of each role. That makes it more likely for the "professionals" to queue, since they can at least have a trusted healer and good DPS, while still leaving two slots open for PuG DPS.
3) One potential benefit for DPS is that you now have the option of kicking a bad tank. As of now, I'm reluctant to kick even an exceptionally bad tank (ie bad and demonstrates no learning capacity). If this change DOES decrease the wait time for a tank, it will ameliorate this issue. I'd rather have 15 minute wait with higher probability of an inexperienced tank, than a 30 minute wait with slightly smaller chance.

Alicia P.O.V
I groaned lugging my suitcase's into the Palm Woods Hotel and up to the reception desk. I read the nameplate thing ' Mr. Bitters'. I looked up at the overweight man with nerd glasses and a buzz cut.
"Um excuse me Sir im looking for Kendall Knight." I flipped my hair out my face and squinted at him.
"Room 2J." He glared at me and continued eating his salt less fries.
"Whatever Pudgy." I mumbled dragging my stuff towards the elevator.
I pressed the up button and waited for the elevator to come down. DING! It opened with that annoying bell I dragged my stuff in, bumping the 2 button with my hip. I waited eagerly as the rusty piece of metal came to a stop and I shuffled around until I found the door-marked 2J. I felt my anxiety build up as I knocked on the door. I heard Kendal's voice as he laughed at something. He opened the door and froze when he saw me.
"ALICIA!" He yelled as he bear hugged me.
"Kendal." His shirt muffled my voice since he was a good 5 inches taller than me. I laughed as he rocked us back and fourth.
"Ohhh looks like Kendal has a lady friend." I heard a familiar voice laugh. Ken turned us both around and glared at whomever.
"Shut up Logan." My muffled laugh was still loud as Kendal threw me over his shoulder.
"Hey big nose put me down." I smacked him upside the head. He poked me and I freaked for a second.
"Hey MOM, Katie come here!" He yelled setting me down.
"What Kendal?" I heard Katie as she came sliding down this awesome yellow swirly slide. When she climbed out and her eyes met mine she screamed.
"ALICIA!" She screamed even louder and ran towards me at full speed until we collided. I picked her up and began twirling her around in a circle. She giggled as I placed her down on the floor again. "I've missed you, you little booger." I tousled her hair and she laughed smacking my hand away.
"Yes Kendal." Mom's voice came floating out of the kitchen.
"Ally's here." He smirked.
"What?" Her head popped out of the kitchen and she beamed when she saw me standing there.
"Alicia." She smiled as I ran over to her and embraced her in a Kendal hug. She ruffled my hair and let me go. She went back into the kitchen and I turned towards the door. Kendal shot me a look as I walked towards the open door, he calmed down when he saw me lugging my stuff in.
"Sheesh Ally how much crap did you bring."
"Oh shut up frat boy."
We had a ultimate stare down until Logan cleared his throat. "Kendal your not gonna introduce us to
this lovely girl." James smiled. I turned to look at them. It was Carlos, Logan and James all standing there like a bunch of dummy's.
"Really you don't remember me?" They shook their heads repeatedly.
"Alicia, Alicia Knight Kendal's sister a.k.a Queen Prankerton of the Pranks?" I beamed when I saw it click in.
"ALICIA!" They yelled bum rushing me.
I smiled as the picked me up an started chanting my name. They put me down and started talking all at once. "Woah Woah slow down one at a time." I motioned for them to be quiet. I pointed at James. "Shoot."
"WE MISSED YOU!" They all yelled at the same time. I laughed covering my mouth when I realized how loud it really was. They stared at me and Kendal started to laugh it sounded exactly like mine just more boyish. Katie shook her head and walked away.
"So uh yeah Ally where you been?" Kendal questioned.

What happens when a few scientists interact with a waitress?
Welcome to The Big Bang Theory, a hit TV show more or less based on that storyline. But did you also know that, amidst the laughs and quarrels, lessons on grad school can be learned?
Here are five lessons about grad school gleaned from The Big Bang Theory:
From left, Simon Helberg, Jim Parsons, and Johnny Galecki in a scene from "The Big Bang Theory".
1. You might never get to do real work as an assistant
As we see with Sheldon's new assistant Alex, a grad student at the university, she is given menial tasks, such as picking out a Valentine's Day gift for Sheldon's scientist girlfriend, Amy. And when she thinks her boss, a scientist at a Los Angeles university, is going to let her contribute to his scientific work, he laughs.
Of course, a teaching assistant (TA) is a different story, in that you get to teach lower-level college courses. But in the show, Alex is just Sheldon's assistant.
The lesson here: If you sign up in your grad school years to be an assistant to a professor, don't assume it's because that person wants you to help contribute to their work in any significant way. Just observe, help and learn what you can.
2. Those in the sciences may make fun of you if you stop at a master's
Howard, an engineer at the university, gets made fun of by Sheldon (and other people occasionally) for only having a master's degree and not a Ph.D. Multiple times now, he's explained that most engineers stop at a master's but no-one seems to listen.
If you want to go into academia (especially in the sciences), you might want to think about going for the full-out Ph.D. While it seems most people in the real world won't make fun of you for just having a master's, think about the other benefits to a Ph.D.: Namely, it will help you get on a tenure track and perhaps boost your earnings.
Most importantly, do what makes the most sense for your field. Besides, as Howard has shown by flying into space with NASA, there are other impressive ways to beef up that resume. A mix of schooling and real-world experience could be your best bet.
3. You might have to work a crappy job to help pay for grad school
As we saw with Bernadette, Howard's wife, you might have to work an irrelevant job to help cover grad school tuition. She worked as a waitress before earning her Ph.D. and landing a sweet science job. Some people like being a waitress and others don't, but the point is: Not everyone gets grad school covered via scholarships or by being a T.A.
Many Ph.D. programs (and some master's programs) are too strenuous, causing many students to not work during school. In fact, sometimes it's not allowed. But if you don't land funding, you might have to.
4. Connecting with non-Ph.D.s may be an experiment in itself
Some people who go for the Ph.D., such as Sheldon, get so caught up in the technical language of their field that they become practically inaccessible to the general public. Of course, it's exaggerated and funny in the show, but be careful: If you go for those advanced degrees, make sure to not get too sucked into technical lingo.
Leonard, who is Penny's surprising love interest (the hot waitress), does better than Sheldon and his scientist friends at connecting with non-Ph.D.s. Even though he can't hang out with Penny's friends and watch a football game (in the show, he just kept yelling out rehearsed technical rules), he still balances the two worlds.
During grad school, stay caught up with pop culture and in dialogue with non-Ph.D.s and you should be fine.
5. Once you date a graduate, you can't go back
Leonard made it practically impossible for Penny (who has only taken classes at a community college) to date non-intelligent guys. She dated dumb guys before Leonard. Of course, you can be intelligent without a Ph.D. but be mindful of who you date during and after grad school because, with your utter brilliance, you might set their standards for dating.
Don't be mistaken, though: Love doesn't always require a degree. I mean, look at Leonard's continued interest in Penny, which clearly goes beyond physical attraction. And it seems Raj, the scientist who can't talk to girls sober, will date just about anyone at this point. Just be mindful of how that degree will affect what you have to offer in the dating world.
The show's chemistry is not complex: It's funny, we laugh. Take the grad school lessons with a grain of salt and a smile.

As humans, we waste the shit out of our words. It's sad. We use words like "awesome" and "wonderful" like they're candy. It was awesome? Really? It inspired awe? It was wonderful? Are you serious? It was full of wonder? You use the word "amazing" to describe a goddamn sandwich at Wendy's. What's going to happen on your wedding day, or when your first child is born? How will you describe it? You already wasted "amazing" on a fucking sandwich.
"But it turns out that the reason we're doing these things for employees is not because it's important to the business, but simply because it's the right thing to do. When it comes down to it, it's better to work for a company who cares about you than a company who doesn't. And from a company standpoint, that makes it better to care than not to care."
The resistance is real indeed, and it fears being best in the world, it fears being on top, it fears being seen as the winner. So the resistance is just fine with pushing you to wander, to quit the wrong things at the wrong time, and most of all, to seek out the sinecure of mediocrity. The resistance will cajole and wheedle you until you compromise and get stuck with what you believe you deserve, instead of what you are capable of. The resistance wants a map, when you really need a compass.

For companies that don't have the ability to compete on quality, they end up copying someone else who does.

This exciting new curriculum can serve as an introduction to the Shambhala teachings or provide further grounding in Shambhala view for individuals who have already taken some of the Shambhala Training weekend levels or Everyday Life classes. The Basic Goodness series emphasizes the experiential study of the view and meaning of basic goodness and being human. Using the contemplative inquiry approach we explore the development of self, relationship to others, and the phenomena of reality. This process deepens our understanding beyond theoretical concepts.
This course is a stand-alone class or is the first of the three Basic Goodness classes which are prerequisites for advanced programs. Everybody is welcome. There are no prerequisites for this class.
The Basic Goodness Series is comprised of 3 courses. Each course has a question and a title.
1. Who am I? The Basic Goodness of Being Human
2. How can I help? The Basic Goodness of Society
3. What is real? The Basic Goodness of Reality

And shamans and essential characters still have to take predetermined powers.
The proposal is not about to police more than WotC, but about the need of a houserule that get rid of the problem of only one class, but it is a problem other classes share.
It is not:
'Is giving the choice to ignore the warlock's pact at-will bad?'
'Is it necessary to have a house rule to allow warlocks to ignore the warlock's pact at-will?'
Maybe no for the first, but a certain no for the second, IMHO.

The most memorable and distinctive thing about Tsi'Ri was her familiar which was a third eye with independant will. It differenciated her from all other warlocks and I really liked it. So I tried to reinforce her most distinctive feature by granting her a tattoo with appropriate powers and fluffed it as an extension of her mystical third eyed. I was really happy about that treasure choice... but the player sold the tattoo! It left me rather nonplussed, I tell you that! Elecgraystone prefered having 20% of its value in cash and stick strictly to the wish list.
There is no denying that PC was very effective, though. And there is nothing wrong with his/her choice. This anecdote just illustrate a difference in philosophy. That mini-clash between her style and mine lead to some of the frustration expressed by the player in the recently ressurected thread about letting players trade items. Hopefully, that's not why the player left L4W (Tsi'Ri did go on another adventure under a different DM before going MIA). Not sure I would do anything different, though; I am entitled to my own philosophy and freedom.
But this why I am opposed to removing the houserule. Personnally, I'd never make a warlock that dispenses with the pact's signature power altogether, but that's my choice. People should always have as much freedom as is reasonable in a communal gaming world. Anything that pertains solely to the PC should be left entirely in the hand of the player. It's kind of the Habeas Corpus of RPGs!

And IIRC, even if nobody else actually took the option, a lot of people said they felt the same way when it was being debated, so it wasn't chosen just for Ts'iri.

Well...Joe I do believe you are still officially a judge (assuming you want to). You were moved to "inactive". It's a simple matter of adjusting the Charter to move you back to active.

The Controversy: Adrien Broner and Paulie Malignaggi
On June 22, 2013 a new WBA welterweight champion was marked, Adrien Broner defeated Paulie Malignaggi in a split decision in Brooklyn, NY, which is Paulie's hometown. Some say Broner won, some say he didn't throw enough punches but at the end of the night Adrien Broner was victorious on the scorecard: 117-111 and 115-113 Broner and 115-113 Malignaggi.
I had the opportunity to see this event live from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. First off watching professional boxing match live with big names fighting such as Adrien Broner is an amazing experience like no other. How live the crowd was, the celebrity sightings like Floyd Mayweather, the continuous action, it is just unreal. If you are a boxing fan and have not been to one of these events, you need to.
What made this fight so controversial? Besides all the trash talking before and after the fight, round by round it made you wonder which way the judges were going to go. Paulie Malignaggi, who is now 32-5, 7 KOs, showed a lot of heart in every round. To many people he was the busier fighter, throwing a lot more punches than Broner. However, none of his punches affected Broner in any kind of way. It looked like Malignaggi was running the whole time because when Broner did land his punches, they pushed Paulie back each time. Granted each time Broner hit Paulie, Paulie would come right back, but there was no power behind his punches. That wasn't the case with Adrien Broner.
Since round one you could see that Broner took control of the fight, standing his ground in the ring, and was even talking trash in the middle of the rounds. His defense was nothing less but superb blocking the majority of Paulie's punches. When he did throw punches you could tell that Broner was way more powerful than Paulie was, however his punches did not come as frequent as most had hope for. It seemed as if he was looking for that knockout throwing only 1 or 2 punches at a time for most of the rounds. He did seem to come alive at the last 10 seconds of in the later rounds, hitting Paulie with some lighting fast combos out of nowhere. Non-the less it looked like a mismatch from the start off of power and speed alone. Broner had the more powerful and accurate shots and that is what led into the decision that was made.
After the fight was over the winner was announced and there was mix reaction from the crowd. Some were cheering for the winner; some were booing saying that it was a bad decision. Yes, Paulie Malignaggi did not back down from Adrien Broner and threw a lot of punches but to the judges and to many fans accuracy and power shots is what wins fights. That is why Adrien Broner is now a 3 time world champion.

Google co-founder Larry Page bought himself a luxury yacht last month, for a reported €35 million ($45 million). Page bought the swank yacht called Senses last month from rich New Zealand businessman Sir Douglas Myers.
"He took delivery before the new year," said yacht broker Allan Jouning told the New Zealand Herald News. "He's been looking at it for some time."
Here's the Herald's description of Senses:
"Its stylish interiors are finished by famous French designer Philippe Starck and its split-level decks are home to sun-lounging areas, festooned with a multitude of deck chairs.
There are sheltered indoor and outdoor dining areas, as well as a gym and on-deck jacuzzi. It can accommodate 10 guests and 14 crew.
There are pleasure-boats of all sizes available for guests' use and the yacht can carry a helicopter with ease."
Indeed, a yacht fit for a billionaire. And here's a video tour of Larry's new "adventure boat."

A reader writes...Q: My fiancee and I are in our late 20s. We have been living together for two years. I love her a lot. She is very intelligent, and I find her very attractive. The problem? Let's just say that in bed, I have had better. Many of our sessions end without me "finishing." She had noticed this and asked me if she still excites me. I tried to fix things by fantasizing about other women during sex, but that only worked a few times. Then, things changed on our last visit to her parents. I was blown away by her 18-year-old sister. She was wearing a tramped-out Catholic schoolgirl outfit. I immediately began fantasizing about her. The results were amazing. The last month or so, our sex sessions have been great. My fiancee has noticed the difference. She is now a detective, inquiring about the changes. I don't know what to tell her. She once commented, when I asked her to dress up certain ways, that she could "just borrow these clothes from her sister instead of buying them." Does she know

Odister's foul shots lift Cal Poly to upset of No. 11 UCLA
Los Angeles, CA, United States (4E Sports) – Kyle Odister buried two foul shots with 12 seconds left as Cal Poly overcame an 18-point deficit to upset No. 11 UCLA, 70-68, Sunday at Pauley Pavilion.
Odister finished with 15 points off the bench while Dylan Royer sank a career-high six three-pointers for 18 points for the Mustangs (2-2), who defeated the Bruins for the first time in six meetings.
Brian Bennett added a career-high 16 points, Chris Eversley had 15 points and 10 rebounds and Chris O'Brien issued a career-best eight assists for the Mustangs.
Freshman guard Shabazz Muhammad scored 15 points and 10 rebounds, Travis Wear had 14 points and Jordan Adams tallied 13 for the Bruins, who dropped to 4-2.
After a close first half where the Bruins led by just 29-27, Wear scored seven points to spark UCLA's 22-6 attack to take a 51-33 lead.
Undaunted, Cal Poly retaliated with a 15-4 run behind Odister's two three-pointers to bring the Mustangs to within 57-48. Later, the Mustangs tied the game at 63 behind Royer's three-pointer.
Cal Poly finally took the lead, 67-65, after a tip-in by Eversley before Odister sank a foul shot to make it 68-65.
Larry Drew split his charities and Jordan Adams made a layup with 20 seconds left to tie the game at 68.
Odister drew a foul from Norman Powell and sank two pressure-packed charities to give Cal Poly the lead with 12 ticks on the clock.
The Bruins had two chances to win the game but Powell and Adams both missed their three-point attempts as time expired.
In related development, the Bruins have released junior guard Tyler Lamb from the men's basketball program upon his request.
Lamb will transfer at the conclusion of the fall quarter and conclude his college career at another school.
Lamb missed four weeks of practice prior to UCLA's 2012-13 season opener after having undergone arthroscopic surgery on his left knee Oct. 9.
The 6 -5 guard from Covina, Calif., returned to action against Indiana State on Nov. 9 and scored four points in 14 minutes.
"However, I believe that it is in my best interest to find a new destination where I can continue to grow, both as a person and as a basketball player," Lamb said in a statement.

MADISON (WKOW) -- Air traffic controllers are warning that automatic federal spending cuts in the sequester, set to take effect Friday, could force some of the nation's busiest airports to close runways. They say that could lead to flight delays and cancellations.
The National Air Traffic Controllers Association released a study that predicts Atlanta's Hartsfield International Airport will be forced to close one of its three runways because furloughs of controllers will leave too few to handle planes.
Instead of 126 landings per hour, there would be only 96 landings per hour, the report found. Hartsfield handles more passengers than any other airport in the world.
The report said Houston's Intercontinental and Chicago's O'Hare airports may also have to close runways.
Delta flights from Dane County Regional Airport connect through Atlanta and the airport also offers United flights that connect through Chicago-O'Hare.
The $85 billion in spending cuts will effect all federal agencies. Furloughs would not kick in until April.

Ravens inside linebacker Jameel McClain returned to practice today for the first time since suffering a spinal cord contusion last December against the Washington Redskins.
McClain remains on the reserve-physically unable to perform list, but can be activated at any time. He participated fully.
Backup nose tackle Terrence Cody returned to practice from a sprained left knee. Cody has been sidelined since getting hurt against the Houston Texans.

Cody was limited in his return.
Just three players weren't practicing: defensive end Chris Canty inside linebackers Josh Bynes and Albert McClellan.
Bynes has an infected finger, which coach John Harbaugh said isn't serious.
McClellan has been not practicing during the week and then playing special teams on Sundays.
Canty was listed with a thigh injury.
Several players were limited, including cornerback Chykie Brown (hamstring), center Ryan Jensen (foot surgery), nose tackle Haloti Ngata (left elbow), outside linebacker Courtney Upshaw (foot) and cornerback Lardarius Webb (strained hamstring).
Ngata briefly left the game Sunday during a 19-17 loss to the Green Bay Packers before returning and finishing.
"It wasn't that bad," Ngata said. "It wasn't bad enough to keep me out."
Defensive end Marcus Spears (knee) and wide receiver Brandon Stokley (hip, groin) participated fully.
"Man, I feel pretty good," said Spears, who has been out the past two games. "I think the way we went about it was real smart. I can go out and play and be the guy that I am instead of trying to hobble along and not give the team the best chance. Everybody has been great about it."
The Steelers ruled out wide receiver Markus Wheaton (finger).
Rookie linebacker Jarvis Jones didn't practice due to a head injury.
Four players were limited: offensive tackle Marcus Gilbert (quadriceps), defensive end Brett Keisel (abdomen), tight end Heath Miller (non-injury reasons) and outside linebacker LaMarr Woodley (knee).
