text: Microsoft today announced new forecasting capabilities in Power View for Office 365 users. Power View performs advanced statistical analysis of the data in your line charts to generate forecasts that incorporate trends and seasonal factors. So how does forecasting work? Forecasting in Power View is based on an established suite of methods for time series prediction called exponential smoothing. Over the years many methods have been developed for the analysis of time series, depending on whether the data is strongly seasonal or has no seasonality, how much noise there is in the data, and whether the data contains "surprises" or irregular peaks. In Power View, you can now apply predictive forecasting, and hindcasting, when visualizing and exploring your data. Forecasting in Power View utilizes built-in predictive forecasting models using exponential smoothing to automatically detect seasonality in the data to provide forecast results from a series of data.

The Blazers had lost their idenity and their swagger. Nobody knew their role and Nate McMillan just plain lost control. As a result, the Portland Trail Blazers organization decided to clean house. They started by shipping Gerrald Wallace away for cap space and a lottery pick in the upcoming draft. But they didn't stop there. Shortly after, our beloved MAR-CUS-CAM-BY was shipped to Houston for a 2012 second round pick and two former first round picks (2nd and 6th pick) from the 2009 NBA draft A.K.A 25yr old 7 foot 3 Center Hasheem Thabeet and 22yr old point guard Johnny Flynn. Then to top it all off the Blazers decided to part ways will long time coach Nate McMillan. Nate had clearly lost control of his players and it showed on the court with flagrant fouls, selfish play, and turnover after turnover.
So I guess that means it's time to rebuild, throw in the towel, and start thinkin about next year. Continue to look disfunctional, unmotivated, and overated until the seasons over. Were going to miss the playoffs and all we'll have to show for it is another first round pick which i'm sure we will blow as always. NOT! SO! FAST! The Blazers aren't going to win the 2012 NBA Championship. I REPEAT the Blazers are not going to win the 2012 NBA Championship. However, if you believe that this team is going to roll over and die lets look at the facts. Nic Batum and Raymond Felton are in contract years. Nolan Smith and Luke Babbit are former 1st round picks with something to prove. With Geralld Wallace gone Wesley Mathews will return to the starting SG spot and Batum will slide over to the starting SF spot giving Jamal Crawford the opportunity to do what he does best, be the 6th man. Everyones role has now become much more clear. There will be more minutes to allocate out to players giving them a chance to iron out the creases and build some confidence. Lastly, the newly apointed interm coach Caleb Kanales is the next Eric Spolestra. Four years ago Kanales was the video intern for the Blazers, and now he's the head coach. The guy is a ligtning rod with a much needed-new look outlook on offense to go with a great understanding for defense.
My prediction? Somehow, someway a first round exit for the 4th year in a row. But after a year that saw the Blazers lose Brandon Roy to retirement and Greg Oden to injury. And after a year that saw us start off 7-2 and become everyones cinderella pick to go to the Western Conference finals. And after we just shipped away two of our starting five players. I think a playoff appearance would be a victory in any Blazers fans eyes. Book It!

Review Categories
1. Exempt from Federal Regulation
Research activities involving human subjects in which there is minimal or no risk and in which the only involvement of human subjects would be in one of the categories described in the IRB Policies document found on the main page of this website may be considered by the IRB Office to be exempt from Federal regulation. Projects that qualify for exempt status must, however, receive formal IRB certification of such exempt status. This certification serves as an assurance that the project 1) qualifies for exempt status in accordance with federal regulations, and 2) is designed to ensure that the rights and welfare of human subjects are protected.
2. Expedited Review
Research activities involving no more than minimal risk and in which the only involvement of human subjects will be in one or more of the categories listed in the IRB Policies document found on the main page of this website will be scheduled for expedited review. In this procedure, three members of the IRB review the project and vote for approval, approval pending modifications, or disapproval. If two out of three reviewers vote disapproval, the project must go to the full board for review.
3. Full Board Review
All projects involving human subjects that do not qualify for exempt or expedited review must be reviewed by the full IRB at an official meeting. After the IRB chairperson determines that the "Request for IRB Review" requires this procedure, the researcher is informed that the project will be reviewed at the next scheduled IRB meeting. The researcher will be invited to attend this meeting to answer any questions the board may have regarding the project.

Severe Service

Low-cab-forward severe-duty truck
The new International LoadStar low-cab-forward severe service truck, unveiled in March at the Mid-America Trucking Show in Louisville, Ky., is all new from the ground up, said Jim Hebe, Navistar vice president of North American Sales.
Though it shares many components with existing International vehicles, most notably the WorkStar, the new model is designed for applications such as waste hauling, concrete-pumping and aircraft refueling.
Drawing on feedback from drivers and fleet personnel, the new truck's designers "optimized the space in the cab, increased seat and steering wheel movement and adjusted joystick placement to deliver an outstanding ergonomic and customizable work environment," Hebe said.
He pointed to optimized and body-builder-integrated control placements that put comfort on a par with dependable power — MaxxForce Cleanburn diesel emissions technology will underpin engine options, and a natural gas-powered version will be available early next year.
Key exterior features include a stainless steel cab to minimize corrosion and increase durability in the field, vocationally designed variable-depth frame rails for reduced weight and frame rail heights and improved ride characteristics.
The truck will be available for order this year, with production beginning in 2013.

Innovative drivetrain for extreme hauls
Volvo Trucks extended its award-winning XE drivetrain offerings to a package based around its 16-liter Volvo D16 engine (pictured in a Volvo VNL630). The drivetrain is designed specifically for the North American heavy long combination vehicle (LCV) market, with weights up to 143,000 lbs.
This one (of two new XE16 powertrain packages) delivers the full power and low-end torque needed for higher weight applications while downspeeding the engine at cruising speeds by 200 rpm or more. For instance, downspeeding from 1,425 to 1,225 at 62 mph yields a 3 percent fuel efficiency improvement, the company says.
Each new package utilizes a D16 engine rated at 500 hp with 2,050 lb.-ft. torque, a Volvo I-Shift automated mechanical transmission, heavy-duty suspensions, rear axles with a 3:21 ratio instead of the 3:73 rear axle often specified on North American LCVs, and proprietary software that facilitates seamless communication among Volvo's integrated powertrain components. The full 2,050 lb-ft. of torque is available while running as low as 1,000 rpm.

Sarvajña statue at Kudalasangama
|16th Century
Abalur, Hirekerur Taluq, Haveri District
|Poet, Pragmatist, philosopher, Monk
Sarvajña (Sanskrit for "all-knowing", Kannada: ಸರ್ವಜ್ಞ) was a Kannada poet, pragmatist and philosopher. He is famous for his pithy three-lined poems which are called tripadis, "with three padas[disambiguation needed], three-liners", a form of Vachanas. He is also referred as Sarvagna in modern translation.
Early life[edit]
The period of Sarvajña's life[1] has not been determined accurately, and very little is known about his personal life. Based on studies of his literary style and the references of later writers, historians estimate that he may have lived during the first half of the 16th century. Some references in his works indicate that his real name was Pushpadatta - Sarvajña appears to have been his pseudonym. His father was a Shaivaite Brahmin and his mother was a Shudra widow named Mali. His father met his mother at a place in present day Dharwar district in Karnataka on his way to Benares on a pilgrimage.He always upheld the wisdom of pastoral life in rural areas and tried to persuade villagers to give up superstition, meaningless customs and traditions.
Sarvagna grew up as a wandering monk creating the Tripadis,the famous three liners. In all, about 2000 three-liners are attributed to Sarvajna. Popular because of their alliterative structure and simplicity, they deal mainly with social, ethical and religious issues. A number of riddles are also attributed to Sarvajna.
Channappa Uttangi was awarded the Kannada Sahitya Sammelana prize in 1949 for his groundbreaking work on Sarvajna.[2]
Some examples[edit]
- Being a monk, he says how he became an omniscient in one of his tripadi.[3]
- ಸರ್ವಜ್ಞನೆ೦ಬುವನು ಗರ್ವದಿ೦ದಾದವನೇ?
- ಸರ್ವರೊಳು ಒಂದೊಂದು ನುಡಿಗಲಿತು
- ವಿದ್ಯೆಯ ಪರ್ವತವೆ ಆದ ಸರ್ವಜ್ಞ.
- Sarvajnanembuvanu garvadindaadanvane?
- Sarvarolu ondondu nudigalitu
- Vidhyeya parvatave aada Sarvajna
- Translation : Sarvagna did not become an omniscient by his pride. However, by learning one word of wisdom from each, he became a mountain of knowledge.
- ಮೂರ್ಖಂಗೆ ಬುದ್ಧಿಯನು ನೂರ್ಕಾಲ ಪೇಳಿದರು
- ಗೋರ್ಕಲ್ಲಮೇಲೆ ಮಳೆಗರೆದರೆ
- ಆಕಲ್ಲು ನೀರುಕುಡಿವುದೆ ಸರ್ವಜ್ಞ?
- Moorkhange budhiyanu noorkaala helidaru
- Gorkallamele malegaredare
- aakallu neerukudivude Sarvajna
- Translation : Giving advice to a fool for hundred years is as useless as a heavy rain pouring on a stone. The stone never drinks the water.
- ಸಾಲವನು ಕೊಂಬಾಗ ಹಾಲೋಗರುಂಡಂತೆ
- ಸಾಲಿಗರು ಕೊಂಡು ಎಳೆವಾಗ
- ಕಿಬ್ಬದಿಯ ಕೀಲು ಮುರಿದಂತೆ ಸರ್ವಜ್ಞ.
- Saalavanu kombaaga haalogarundante
- Saaligaru kone elevaga
- Kibbadiya keelu muridante Sarvajna
- Translation : While borrowing loan it feels like eating desserts. When the loan is due for payment, it feels as painful as a broken rib cage.
- ಏಳು ಕೋಟಿಯೆ ಕೋಟಿ, ಏಳು ಲಕ್ಷವೆe ಲಕ್ಷ
- ಏಳು ಸಾವಿರದ ಎಪ್ಪತ್ತು ವಚನಗಳ
- ಹೇಳಿದನು ಕೇಳ ಸರ್ವಜ್ಞ."
- Elu kotiye koti, elu lakshave laksha
- Elu saaviradha eppatthu vachanagala
- Helidanu kela Sarvajna
- Translation : Saravajna has preached 7,07,07,070 vachanas (Tripadi) overall"
- ಮಜ್ಜಿಗೆ ಇಲ್ಲದ ಊಟ
- ಮಜ್ಜನವ ಕಾಣದಾ ಲಜ್ಜೆಗೆಟ್ಟ
- ಹೆಣ್ಣಂತೆ ಸರ್ವಜ್ಞ.
- Majjige illada oota
- Majjanava kaanada lajjegetta
- Hennanthe Sarvajna
- Translation : Dinner without butter milk (yogurt) is like a dirty woman without bath.

Definitely like this app over all of the other (even paid) MtG apps. Not a fan of the icon, unsure of how the yellow and purple quite fit into the mix but whatever.
This app is awesome! Long live iMTG
This app is great! The people on the app are nice and very helpful. The app is well laid out and very easy to find stuff. This is by far the best magic app out there. If I could give it more than 5 stars I would. A must have for any magic player.

There is a new hospital in Lubbock that will open its doors to the public on Thursday, but NewsChannel 11 was invited for an exclusive preview of TrustPoint Hospital.
Although we found lots of art still on the floor waiting to go up and furniture still on the truck waiting to be unloaded, we learned that this facility will provide a first of its kind service to this area.
The entire second floor is dedicated to seniors with depression or behavior issues. Registered Nurse, Wendy Woolard, who serves as Trust Point Hospital's Director of Nursing, says, "The geriatric psych patient that we will be admitting here will have suffered some kind of significant loss, quality of life change, due to the loss of a spouse, dementia, behavioral issues that are keeping them from functioning well wherever they are in the community."
The first floor of TrustPoint is dedicated to rehab services. Trust Point Hospital's Director of Rehabilitation Services, Craig Bragg, adds that, "About half our patients will be patients with neurological impairments or with major multiple trauma type impairments. So, we will get a lot of patients from UMC and also from Covenant. We're picking patients up after they've gone through a catastrophic injury or illness, usually a life changing event, helping them adapt to their new physical limitations in a way they they're not disabled, they're able to do things in spite of their handicaps."
The average stay at TrustPoint, either rehab or behavior therapy, is about 2 weeks.
If you would like to check out this new 71-bed facility, there will be an Open House from 5:30 to 8 p.m. Thursday, July 24. It is located just north of Loop 289 on Quaker Avenue.

Sledding at Potato Research
So here is a picture of my family all geared up to go sledding. It was scary at first but when you've tried it, you'll love it. The hard part is climbing up because you would at least have to take a thousand steps to get to the top. But the rush of sledding down was worth it. Plus, it's a good workout too. I'll post pictures or even videos of us actually sledding soon since I'm too lazy right now. lol.

Bruce & Ashton Are Both Out of Their 20s (Just by Slightly Different Amounts)
Bruce & Ashton Are Both Out of Their 20s (Just by Slightly Different Amounts)
by Molly Goodson 43 Reactions 0 Shares Print
Ashton Kutcher may be turning 30 tomorrow, but he's never too old to beat up on his wife's ex-husband Bruce Willis. Of course, it's just play fighting and the two men are really seriously good friends. Food for thought though, who would even win in a fight? Even being 22 years Ashton's senior, Bruce is pretty burly. The whole family — Demi, Ashton, Bruce, the girls — all went out for a little pre-birthday lunch in LA this week showing off just how buddy-buddy dad and step-dad are. While I'm especially excited to see Ashton back on the big screen with Cameron in What Happens In Vegas, his family man side is about as endearing as it gets.

Good Lord, Honeylamb! Inappropriateness is rampant! My friend was chased down the other day by her ex-husbands girlfriend because the girl had mail for her (yeah, he moved her in to their old apartment. This girl had their new baby on her hip and asked my friend if she could hold the baby while she went and got the mail!!! My friend, the rockstar that she is, was like "Uhh, I never planned on holding Jay's babies, from my womb or otherwise" It was great.

It's creepy in a way but imagine if all divorced couples got along like this imagine how many children would be happoer.

All divorced couples with children should take advice from them. Even though Bruce is getting on in his years, he is still a very handome man. I'll take him anyday and "moonlight" with him anytime!

I agree with all of the comments above(except the one about a brother's b-day. I don't have a brother. lol) Anyway it is odd, weird, creepy, good, wonderful, healthy, etc., etc. As long as it works! :)

Speaking as a child of divorced parents, I wish my parents and step-parents could be so chummy.
musewings 6 years
Other than the alarming age difference, I don't see the big deal, and I think it seems healthy. I've known other families in similar situations, and it's always better for the kids.
Lovely_1 6 years
I think it's odd too! I mean, wow, I dunno about it! If I had an ex-husband I dunno if I would want him hanging around my new man! And I bet my man wouldn't wanna hang wiht him either...

14 Tasting Notes
Okay, I'm having mixed feelings about this tea. I just brewed a cup and steeped it for about 4 minutes.
It smelled like a cleaning product.
Then I added some honey thinking it might taste better- hell no. Now it tastes like sweetened pledge lemon wipes.
Then out of curiosity I added some milk- WOW!! Huge difference, it's almost ridiculous. Now it almost tastes like a very smooth earl grey. I can see myself drinking this if I'm in the mood for something creamy and lemony, it's wonderful.
This is one of those teas that REQUIRES milk.
I'm obsessed with mint tea, and this is my all time favorite. Nothing even comes close, the minty-ness is simply outstanding. Its really strong but it still tastes so fresh and wonderful!
I always have a stash of this at home, this tea is now and always will be a necessity.
So far this is one of my favorite lemon teas! So many other lemon flavored teas taste like floor-cleaner lemon. This doesn't have that chemical-y, artificialness to it.
It has this really bold, natural tasting lemon flavor that smells even better.
Be careful brewing this though… If you let the teabag steep for too long it gets really bitter and the lemon flavor is destroyed
I'm in love with this tea. It's definitely not a strong chai by no means but the vanilla works unbelievably well for me. As soon as the water hits the teabag and the aroma wafts into my nose my eyes roll back into my head and I shiver in pure ecstasy. That split second moment right when the aroma of sweet french vanilla and exotic chai spices hits is worth dying for.
Sometimes I hover over it while its steeping and just breathe it in, it smells that good.
10 minutes later I add a gallon of honey and I have to fight the urge to drink it in one continuous gulp.
Overall I feel this doesn't taste as maple-y as it should. Maybe I've just been drinking too many herbal teas lately? I feel like there's this maple tree earthiness I'm missing out on. I definitely taste the black tea in there though, and its delicious! At one point I was addicted to this tea.
I poured this straight down the drain. This is up there with some of the nastiest teas I've ever had. VERY bitter with that classic artificial tasting vanilla overpowering everything. I tried adding some sweetener but that just made the situation worse
In one word- Disgusting.
I simply can not fathom how awful this tea is. Something went horribly wrong here. I don't even know where to start, oh the fact that it tastes like drinking a cardboard box? It tastes artificial and weak even after literally leaving the tea bag in for hours.

A Chicago area youth counselor spends a lot of time with troubled teens but his real passion is music. Recently, that local rapper's work was featured on the TV show, "Mindy Project."
"I like a hard working woman. So that's the kind of woman and appeals to me---hardworking---independent who can take care of her own--and don't depend on anybody for anything," Howell says.
Mav says that describes his mother and sisters, who all raised him in the projects on Chicago's West Side. His big sister Cortisa Howell was his inspiration for his song "Walk That."
Whatever she did, he says, he did – including graduating from The University of Illinois. She died in 2010 after a long bout with cancer, leaving behind two children.
To honor her memory, Mav says his lyrics have to be uplifting.
One of the "Mindy Project's" producers heard about the song on YouTube, liked it and featured the audio--because of the positive lyrics.
Mav says the producers called him last week to let him know that his work was going to be on tonight and to keep it a secret until last night---when he tweeted it out to his followers and his mom.
"I was extremely happy," he says of the television exposure. "It's the first time one of my records will be featured on television and I think to my understanding I might be the first unsigned Chicago artist to have my music featured on prime time television."
The producers tell Mav he's getting paid for his tribute to his sister and mother. He's taking his family out to dinner and waiting for his next turn in the spotlight.

Warners Rejects Joe Eszterhas' Screenplay for Mel Gibson's Maccabee Project
Source: @THR
#screenwriting #film #business
"Warner Bros. has put Mel Gibson's movie about the biblical figure Judah Maccabee on hold after rejecting the screenplay written by Joe Eszterhas, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
The project made waves in September when it was set up as a pitch with Eszterhas, the writer behind Basic Instinct andShowgirls, set to pen the script. Gibson, who plans to produce through his Icon Productions, was waiting for the screenplay to be completed to decide whether he would either direct or act in the project.
Maccabee led a revolt in the second century B.C. against a Greek-Macedonian state. The Hanukkah holiday is tied to the revolt's victory. But Gibson's involvement drew criticism from prominent Jewish leaders like Abraham Foxman of the Anti-Defamation League, who accused his 2004 film The Passion of the Christ of promoting anti-Semitism.
The script for the Maccabee movie was submitted to the studio this week but was rejected by execs, according to sources.
Insiders at the studio say the project isn't dead or officially shelved at this stage, but it is under review. The studio has not yet decided whether to move forward with more development or a pull the plug."
Mel Gibson fires back at screenwriter Joe Eszterhas over 'hates Jews' accusation
Source: @latimes
#screenwriting #film #screenplay
"Mel Gibson has fired a return volley toward Joe Eszterhas in the jousting over why Warner Bros. rejected the screenwriter's screenplay for a proposed movie about Jewish warrior Judah Maccabee.
The studio said Wednesday that it was not proceeding with Eszterhas' script and was "analyzing what to do with the project."
The news prompted the "Basic Instinct" writer to allege in a letter posted by the Wrapwebsite that Gibson, who was to produce and possibly direct the film, never wanted to make it because, as Eszterhas said of Gibson, "You hate Jews."
The actor and filmmaker, in response, sent Eszterhas a letter of his own, also sent to the Los Angeles Times, alleging that Eszterhas' script was "substandard" and "a waste of time."
The full text of the letter follows:
I have your letter. I am not going to respond to it line by line, but I will say that the great majority of the facts as well as the statements and actions attributed to me in your letter are utter fabrications. I would have thought that a man of principle, as you purport to be, would have withdrawn from the project regardless of the money if you truly believed me to be the person you describe in your letter. I guess you only had a problem with me after Warner Brothers rejected your script.
I will acknowledge like most creative people I am passionate and intense. I was very frustrated that when you arrived at my home at the expense of both Warner Brothers and myself you hadn't written a single word of a script or even an outline after 15 months of research, meetings, discussions and the outpouring of my heartfelt vision for this story. I did react more strongly than I should have. I promptly sent you a written apology, the colorful words of which you apparently now find offensive. Let me now clearly apologize to you and your family in the simplest of terms.
Contrary to your assertion that I was only developing Maccabees to burnish my tarnished reputation, I have been working on this project for over 10 years and it was publicly announced 8 years ago. I absolutely want to make this movie; it's just that neither Warner Brothers nor I want to make this movie based on your script.
Honestly, Joe, not only was the script delivered later than you promised, both Warner Brothers and I were extraordinarily disappointed with the draft. In 25 years of script development I have never seen a more substandard first draft or a more significant waste of time. The decision not to proceed with you was based on the quality of your script, not on any other factor.
I think that we can agree that this should be our last communication.

I will grant you that. If there's one failing of P4, it's that the ending sort of comes out of nowhere. I'm fine with a late game reveal, as long as it has a murder mystery moment of "Aha! Now it all adds up!" rather than "Wait, what?"
With Nyx, however, you get a month or two to just stew and wait for her coming, and they spend that time basically driving home that Nyx is a universal constant, in a way, and is not just an entity that can be defeated. And in the end you don't defeat her, you just keep her locked away, and even that carries a pretty nasty price. Persona 3 ends better, sure, although I still prefer P4 as a whole.

The other day, David S. asked if there was ever good news about Georgia schools. There is good news and here's some of it. We are doing better on AP tests, even while encouraging more students to take the rigorous courses and to sit for the AP exams, which are administered and graded by the College Board.
Here is the official release:
Gov. Sonny Perdue and State School Superintendent Brad Bryant today announced Georgia's 2009-10 Advanced Placement (AP) results. Since the 2004-2005 school year, Georgia has seen a 97 percent increase in students scoring a 3, 4 or 5 on AP exams, compared to a 52 percent increase nationwide.
The six-year trend also shows Georgia has experienced a 106 percent increase in the number of AP public school test-takers, compared to a 56 percent increase nationwide.
"More and more Georgia students are meeting the challenge by taking and passing tough AP classes and exams," Gov. Perdue said. "These tests often lead to earning college credits,

Fortunately, Jeff Roberts of paidcontent.org, IS a lawyer and wrote a post explaining what Google is about to get tangled with for the right to continue doing business like everyone else.
In a case filed on Friday, a Missouri man says Google violated the Wiretap Act and asked for damages on behalf of 62 million users. The case names only Google and not the handful of advertising agencies who allegedly performed similar actions. Meanwhile, Bloomberg News reports that a similar lawsuit has been filed against Google in Delaware.
The seriousness of the new lawsuits will be determined by which law firms step up to join the suit. In the world of class actions, lawyers have a list of plaintiffs at the ready and then race each other to the court house in the hopes of filing the first claim. The early-birds typically become "tag-alongs" eligible for a pay-out when bigger law firms join the fray.
Warms one's heart, doesn't it?
My question is the same one I raised yesterday to some degree. If EVERYONE is doing this same thing will we also see the rush to the courthouse to put Facebook and others in front of a judge as well?
This doesn't need any more "analysis" because it is very early in this process. There is a lot that will happen between now and the decision as to whether this kind of case holds any water or it sinks. In the meantime, I think we all need to be asking every other site that is doing the exact same thing whether they feel they should be dragged into court as well. Fair is fair, right?

Fishing is a great pastime and sport enjoyed by a lot of people throughout the world. It is a great way to go out and get into the wonders of nature. It could be a fantastic method for bonding with loved ones or a deep solitary hobby. Read along to find some fishing tips.
As a beginner, don't go out and buy the most costly gear there is. For the average fisher there is simply no advantage for purchasing expensive equipment. It will neither make fishing more enjoyable nor increase your success. You'll get more enjoyment and use out of middle of the road fishing equipment.
Beginners and children should start with a spin casting reel. This is a simple design that is easy to set up and easy to use. Releasing the line is a matter of a button press, and drawing it back is just as straightforward. Overly complicated gear will just frustrate a novice.
A person fishing with bait would be wise to use a bobber or some sort of indicator while fishing. It can be hard to tell when you get a bite at times, and a good indicator will eliminate that problem. Choose one that is easily visible to you on the surface of the water.
To increase your chances of landing more fish, you must eliminate all unnecessary noise. Loud or sudden noises can frighten fish away in no time! Sitting quietly and even keeping your voice at a whisper will help you to keep fish closer and more likely to grab your line!
If you really want to enjoy your day on the water, make yourself comfortable. Invest in a high-quality fishing chair and make sure that you are dressed appropriately for the weather. A fisherman who is not comfortable will never stay on the water long enough to have a great fishing day.
Now that you have read some helpful advice of making your fishing trips more exciting, you can go out and apply it. With so much info being available, you can always learn more about fishing.

The current Ebola outbreak is centered on three countries in West Africa: Liberia, Guinea, Sierra Leone, although there is the potential for further spread to neighboring African countries.

From Ebola in West Africa to chikungunya in the Caribbean, the world has had plenty of strange — and scary — outbreaks this year. Some pathogens have even landed in the U.S. Just a few months ago, two men boarded planes in Saudi Arabia and brought a from

How to talk to girls?
what are some things to say to start a friendly conversation with girls to keep them talking
What's Your Opinion?
Most Helpful Opinion
Anything you want! Girls are people haha, you can just talk to us like we're normal. No need to be intimidated. :) If you see she has a hobby/something she likes (like if you see her reading a popular book, or buying a toy for her dog, or practicing her singing), definitely ask her about that. We'll talk about our interests for as long as you'll let us.For example, if a guy wanted to get me talking endlessly, he could ask me any of these questions:- Is that a picture of your horse? What was he like?- Do you play Pokemon? (that's literally all he'd need to say haha)- You're a fan of My Little Pony? Who's your favorite pony?- What kind of dog do you think I should get? (Yes, dogs are a hobby lol.)
"Do you play Pokemon?"*wonders what would happen if I asked a girl this at a bar* hmmmm
What Girls Said 13
Ask her about her hobbies and interests.If she is reading a book ask her questions about that.
Pretend they are ugly or a guy and just talk lol
Some times conversations go sometimes they don't
Don't over think it, just be yourself
Be yourself. Think like your talking to one of your friends.
Just try compliments and if she gets antsy refer it to your relitive eg hi I love your sweater that color is great on you, my sister had one just like it. Then change the conversation again.
well you can start off a conversation with hey you wait till she replies and ask what her name is then you obviously say your name and nice to meet you then you just randomly talk about something its that easy just don't over think it and go for it
Talk about her, ask her questions about her. Girls like talking about themselves.
Talk to her about your favorite shows.
Just talk to them...not hard.
just say hi and say something form wher eyou are
talk to them like any other guy you talk to, people are really similar
Ask about a book she's reading or comment if you've read it and liked itIf you notice she's from Spain or Japan or Canada or wherever and she even mentions that, then if you have maybe a favorite tennis player or soccer player from there you should casually mention it. If you're getting a pet you could mention or ask what type of pet or dog or what you should name it.
Confidence is key

Birth Control Should Be Sold Over the Counter Just Like Aspirin
A doctor's group has recommended that the birth control pill be available over the counter, without a prescription. Hallelujah, I couldn't agree more. Happy dance! When I first started taking the pill, sometime in my mid-20s, it was fairly easy to get -- despite having to go to a doctor, something that, of course, you can really only do with health insurance. Even then, I'd have to call a month or so in advance to get an appointment. And then take an hour or so off of work. But, hey, my Ob-Gyn would write a birth control prescription for me for the whole year. I'd just hop to the pharmacy and get my refill. No problemo. But, for whatever reason, it seems things have gotten more complex lately. You'd think I was trying to get a nuclear warhead.
First, the crackdown began on the timing of prescriptions. I noticed a few years ago that if you didn't get your prescription filled at the exact time you needed the refill, they simply wouldn't give it to you. This happened to me when I was out of the country for a couple of weeks. I came back, tried to fill the prescription, and was told it was "old." Uh, two weeks old?! I had to make another gyno appointment.
Another time, I had to leave the city and wanted to get my script filled before I left -- since it would run out when I was gone. Again, couldn't do it. This time, it was "too early" and they refused to overlap refills. Is someone worried I'm going to overdose on birth control?! This isn't Xanax, people!
A few years later, I switched to another insurance and tried to get recurring birth control prescriptions. This insurance plan wouldn't let me do it at all. I could go as far ahead as three months, but then I'd have to go see my doctor again for another prescription. Seeing your gyno every three months?! Does anyone realize that a lot of women work and this makes life very difficult?!
I'm always astonished when I go to other countries and see how readily available things are that, in the States, you'd need to go through a big song and dance for. You can get contact lenses over the counter. You can get codeine. Antibiotics. Viagra. It's really only here in the U.S. -- where the government is in the back pocket of the pharmaceutical and insurance industry -- that you need a prescription for EVERYTHING.
Groups against the idea cite the "health risks" of the pill as a reason why it shouldn't be over the counter. Health risks can include heart attack and stroke and hormone-based cancers. But seriously? Heart attacks are far more common because of most of the fatty foods sold prescription-free in grocery stores and fast food restaurants. People die from caffeine-laced drinks. Don't need a script for those! Tylenol can cause liver damage if you take too much. Yet anyone can walk into a store and buy it. As for cancer? How about a little thing called cigarettes that anyone can buy anywhere, anytime?
We know what this is really about. Making you go to the doctor so they can charge your insurance company a couple of hundred bucks for the five seconds it took to write out your script. And making life difficult for women who may not want to spend their whole lives pregnant.
Do you think birth control should be over the counter?

Floridamom96November 21, 2012 at 12:54 PMWow! No it shouldn't. Hormones have a substantial effect on a body and should be monitored by a physician. This is completely irresponsible.
- -- Nonmember comment from
ruthless1November 21, 2012 at 1:11 PMNo they should not be OTC. They are hormones and can have a powerful negative effect on some people and a healthcare provider needs to be able to check you out periodically and make sure you are not having issues. I had really bad headaches after starting the pill...when I went back for the refill and the dr asked about it, we discovered it was raising my blood pressure unusually and putting me at risk for stroke. If I had gotten the pills OTC, I probably would have written off the headaches as stress or something and not even known about the blood pressure until something really bad had happened. Furthermore,look at how many lawyers advertise group law suits against birth control. No way are they safe enough to be OTC.

jec72579November 21, 2012 at 1:15 PM
FloridaMom: I couldn't disagree with you more!!! The LAST thing we as a country need is more single moms on Welfare. Most of these moms have no insurance, thus no means of getting birth control. If this will help a FRACTION of these moms NOT become pregnant again, and using MY tax dollars to raise THEIR families, I am ALL FOR birth control being OTC. Absolutely!!!!
I agree 100% with the writer, in all of the other items that she lists that are OTC, and Not illegal, that cause greater harm than good.... The good will vastly outweigh any harm caused. I don't see a downside.
- --
Elise48November 21, 2012 at 1:19 PM
I'm not sure about OTC since there are sooo many different formulations and they can affect your body in different ways. BUT, without a prescription through the phamacist would be a great compromise I think.

SKDMom1020November 21, 2012 at 1:26 PM
Floridamom is right. Birth control pills can cause high blood pressure, strokes, blood clots, etc. A person's medical background has a lot of bearing on the the brand the doctor prescribes. If someone can't afford to see a doctor, they can go to the public health clinic and get them very easily. Maybe, just maybe, our restrictions wouldn't be so severe (the author compares other countries being able to get all kinds of meds over the counter) if we didn't have such a "sue happy" country. What is going to happen when someone dies a result of taking the pill without a prescription? They will sue the drug company, who in turn will have to raise prices, it's a vicious cycle.

LovinJerseyMamaNovember 21, 2012 at 1:28 PM
I just go through PP for my birth control. It costs me $21 a pack and I can get as many packs as I want at once. They require you to get a physical once a year to continue getting the prescription through them as well. There is no reason why it has become so difficult for people to access birth control. All it takes is finding your local PP and getting an exam. There are always options out there. If there is an easier way to make birth control more accessible then I am all for it. There are way too many people using and abusing the system by having kids they didn't want or couldn't care for.

LeeshaENovember 21, 2012 at 1:49 PM
I agree otc should be an option yeah there are risks with any otc drugs but you need to read the fine print and be aware of your own body. Without health insurance its difficult to obtain, I've been in situations where I make too much for any clinic to be affordable yet cannot afford the health care offered through my employer and I sell health insurance among other things. Now I am just lucky that my boss pays my health insurance in full.
- -- Nonmember comment from
anonNovember 21, 2012 at 1:55 PMIn Illinois, if you don't have insurance, there is something called the healthy woman's card. It covers routine things like pap smears and covers the cost of birth control. I think all states should have a program like that.
The pill shouldn't be OTC, the hormones can reek havok on your body, there's interactions, and risks. It's a prescription now for a reason, it's safer to take it under a doctor's care. Not only that, but the pill doesn't work for everyone. If you take antibiotics, they don't work. People with seizure disorders who take medication to control it can't take the pill, they're limited to an IUD or the depo-provera shot. Yes, it would be convenient for BC to be over the counter, but it's just not a good idea.

AngieHayesNovember 21, 2012 at 2:21 PM
You can walk in and get condoms, why not birth control?

CLM3345November 21, 2012 at 2:29 PM
The writer's doctor must be a real hard ass if she wouldn't just call in the RX. Even if the pharmacy wouldn't fill it - did your doc really make you come in? I would just call mine, tell her what the pharmacy said, and she'd email me the new RX. I agree it should be easier to get. I think OTC isn't a wonderful idea. There are so many different kinds, women should still go to their doc first to get her advise on which kind to get. I do think the doc should be allowed to give you a 12 month RX so you can get the full year at once. Then every year at your pap exam, just get a new RX.

The new heavyweight champion of the world
October 2 2006
The 865 runs that the
Phillies scored this season led the National League. It was the
sixth-straight season the Phillies improved their ranking in runs scored
among NL teams, and they did it despite the mid-season loss of Bobby
Abreu. There are a lot of factors that contributed to this, but the biggest
one was the monster season of Ryan Howard.
In 2005, Bobby Abreu had a typically excellent season for the Phillies, posting a 286/405/474 line while hitting 24 home runs and knocking in 102 runs. Chase Utley hit 291/376/540 with 28 home runs and 105 RBI in 2005, and had a similar season in 2006, hitting 309/379/527 with 32 homers and 102 RBI. Ryan Howard, however, exploded in '06. After hitting 288/356/567 with 22 home runs and 63 RBI in just 312 at-bats in 2005 he did major damage in his first full-time action in 2006, posting a 313/425/659 line with an absurd 58 home runs and 149 RBI.
Not to be forgotten is that Abreu played a big part in helping the Phillies score runs in 2006. He played 98 games for the Phillies, hitting 277/427/434 and driving in 65 runs. On the season with the Yankees and the Phillies combined, he created 117 runs, which was more than Rollins and would have been third-best had he been with the Phillies all year. In his 98 games with the Phillies he created 72 runs. We still haven't seen a recent Phillies offense that hasn't benefited from the presence of Abreu.
Here's a look back at the runs the Phillies have scored in the last five years and the players that have led the recent teams in runs created:
Phillies runs and top run producers, 2001-2006
|Top 3 in Runs Created
Ryan Howard was an
absolute beast this year, and his mighty bat led the Phillies to new
places. After creating 60 runs for the Phils in '05, he added nearly 100
more in 2006. Chase Utley's final numbers for 2006 were very similar to his
output for 2005. Overall, his runs created increased dramatically, 130 in
'06 compared to 111 in '05, but that is mostly due to getting more than 100
more at-bats without Polanco around this season than he did last. He got
658 at-bats in 2006 compared to 543 in '05. His runs created per 27 outs
increased just slightly, up from 7.38 in '05 to 7.44 in '06.
In 2006, both Utley and Howard created more runs than Abreu did in 2005.
As you look at the numbers above it's nearly impossible not to notice Abreu. Coming into the season he had led the Phillies in runs created in four of five years, and in the year he didn't he finished second behind Jim Thome -- that year Thome hit 47 home runs for the Phils. Under appreciated is the tremendous offensive output for Abreu in 2004, he was fourth in the National League in runs created that season. Abreu absurdly finished 24th in voting for NL-MVP that season, getting fewer votes than Johnny Estrada, Mark Loretta or Juan Pierre. The point is that Abreu is an elite hitter, and he's been a crucial part of the Phillies offense ever since 1998. Until this year. This year, two thirds of the way through the season they replaced him with Jeff Conine.
There is absolutely no way on earth that you replace Bobby Abreu with Jeff Conine and improve your offense without getting a ton of new production someplace else. And the Phillies did. Ryan Howard.
There's a thing, though, and here it is: Ryan Howard isn't going to hit 58 home runs and drive in 149 runs every year. Is he? Here's how the list of people who have ever hit more than 58 home runs in a season goes: Babe Ruth, Roger Maris, Sammy Sosa, Mark McGwire, Barry Bonds. This season, Howard created more runs than any other player in all of baseball. If he does that every year the Phillies are going to be just fine.
The bad news is he won't.
The good news is that Howard got a lot of help this season, and not just from Utley and Abreu. Jimmy Rollins had the best offensive year of his career, posting a career-high 811 OPS, up 41 points from last season's 771. Pat Burrell's numbers for the year turned out to be solid, although his 92 runs created was just good for 41st best in the league. His 6.93 runs created per 27 outs was 16th best in the NL, better than Rollins' 5.94, which was 34th best in the league. Rollins created more runs overall by getting 191 more plate appearances. Between Howard, Utley and Burrell, the Phillies had three of the top 16 hitters in the league if you go by runs created per 27 outs. Among those who didn't see enough action to qualify for the batting title, Dellucci's 301 plate appearances, nearly all of which came against righties, were even a little better than Burrell's (Dellucci was at 7.13 RC/27). Coste's 6.76 RC/27 in 213 plate appearances was a little better than Rollins' 5.94.
The other bad news is it sure looks like any runs that Dellucci produces next year will be for another team. Coste was magnificent for the Phillies this season, but he gets my vote for most likely not to hit 328/376/505 next season. The Phils seem to be willing to get rid of Burrell and his big contract.
Perhaps the most interesting thing is that if you look at the three guys who led the Phillies in runs created this year, Howard, Utley and Rollins, they may be the only three you can count on to be back for 2007 as an everyday player. Just about everything in the Phillies offense seems to be in a state of flux. Do they have a single outfielder you're confident will be here next year and starting on opening day? Victorino? Who might be playing third base? Catching?
For years the Phillies offense has been good and getting better. Where it goes from here is hard to tell, simply because we just don't know who the Phillies offense is going to be next year. They have a solid core of three to build around that's going to be out there for a while, and the only thing that's going to slow it down is injury. And the one thing we do know for sure is that it has a new frontman.

How managers can salvage training during tight budgets
One of the first victims of the budget axe is often professional training, says Linda Petersen, a former longtime Office of Personnel Management official now with Graduate School USA. Petersen, who joined In Depth with Francis Rose said too often training, which carries long-term benefits is not viewed as being part of an agency's strategic vision.

I feel like I'm good with girls. I understand them and am good at loving them. I've always felt like that's been natural for me.
There must have been moments even that afternoon when Daisy tumbled short of his dreams—not through her own fault, but because of the colossal vitality of his illusion. It had gone beyond her, beyond everything. He had thrown himself into it with a creative passion, adding to it all the time, decking it out with every bright feather that drifted his way. No amount of fire or freshness can challenge what a man will store up in his ghostly heart.
do u ever see someone's url and ur just like wow good job buddy

The gentle clinking of silver to crystal can silence even the liveliest party. Obedient guests the world over will raise their glasses in salute of the host, a happy couple, an honoree or fellow guests. On this occasion, let's raise our glasses …to toasts!
Before we sip our champagne, let's take a moment to reflect on the tradition of toasting. In ye olden days of yore, everyone from kings and priests to nomads and shepherds drank deeply to honor deities, elders and warriors. Rites and rituals changed with cultures and regions. Our cheerful clinking of glasses was originally meant to ward off evil spirits, and in some cultures, looking away during a toast was a sign of poor character. America's toasts most likely evolved from an ale house custom in Elizabethan England. A bowl of mead or wine came with a floating piece of spiced or sweetened toast. After the bowl was emptied, the host ate the toast in honor of his guests.
Today we toast at nearly every occasion. From crystal flutes filled with champagne to paper cups filled with apple juice, there is a toast to suit. Wedding toasts are perhaps the most rehearsed and revered, but words of advice, humor and love are welcome at almost every occasion. They can be a simple "cheers" or elaborately researched and poetic speeches. Often an impromptu toast from the heart is the most memorable and touching. Don't wait until the next holiday! Raise your glass to your mother at lunch, your best friend at afternoon coffee, and your family tonight at dinner. Here's to you!
Cheers! Skål! Kampai! Salud! Here are some of Paula's favorite toasts.
There are very few moments in life as good as this. Let's remember it. To each of us and all of us, never have we been more close, may we never be farther apart.
-Hugh Marlowe as Lloyd Richards in All About Eve
Here's looking at you, kid.
-Humphrey Bogart as Rick in Casablanca
Stir the eggnog, lift the toddy, Happy New Year, everybody.
-Phyllis McGinley
May you live to be 100 and may the last voice you hear be mine.
-Frank Sinatra
May the road rise up to meet you,
May the wind be ever at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rain fall soft upon your fields,
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the hollow of his hand.
-Traditional Gaelic toast
I would rather be with the people of this town than with the finest people in the world.
-Fred Willard as Mayor Deebs in Roxanne
I love ya, I ain't above ya, but I'm tired of ya.
-Paula Deen
