Gateway to nature
The State Botanical Garden of Georgia features the work of Atlanta artist Andrew T. Crawford in an exhibition of garden gates. Five gates will be on display through Dec. 23. A sunflower gate is located in the Flower Garden, which will be the location of the 11th Annual Sunflower Concert Series this summer. An assortment of garden tools accents a gate located among the vegetable crops of the Heritage Garden. The vine gate is located within the Visitor Center. Facebook fans have been following Crawford's progress on these gates for months, watching as each new gate is completed and placed in the garden.

FRIDAY, June 10 (HealthDay News) -- Women are more likely than
men to be referred for unnecessary nuclear stress tests, a new
study contends.
A nuclear stress test, also called myocardial perfusion imaging,
is an imaging technique that measures blood flow to the heart
muscle at rest and during periods of stress, such as exercise. The
test can detect heart disease, but it's expensive and exposes
people to radiation.
U.S. researchers analyzed 314 nuclear stress tests to determine
whether they met so-called appropriate use criteria, guidelines set
by the American College of Cardiology Foundation to help doctors
decide whether such testing would be beneficial. Nearly all of the
tests had been ordered for chest pain.
They found that 263 of the tests were appropriate, 34 were
inappropriate and 17 were uncertain. Women accounted for 68 percent
of inappropriate tests and 82 percent of uncertain tests, the study
Historically, women with symptoms of cardiovascular disease have
received fewer stress tests and cardiac catheterizations than men,
according to the researchers, but the past decade has seen a push
for more testing of women. The findings of this study suggest that
"in our fear of missing heart disease, we are testing too may women
indiscriminately," Dr. Aarti Gupta, a cardiology fellow at Rhode
Island Hospital and the study's lead author, said in a news release
from Lifespan health system.
The researchers also found that primary care doctors ordered the
most nuclear stress tests. However, 74 percent of their tests were
deemed appropriate, compared with 92 percent of those ordered by
cardiologists. For female patients, cardiologists' stress tests
were considered appropriate 86 percent of the time, compared with
71 percent for primary care doctors.
"The findings indicate a continuing need for education among primary care providers for appropriate test ordering, particularly for women," Gupta said.
The study was published online in the
Journal of Nuclear Cardiology.

Book Description:
As the need for mental health services has grown, the number of psychiatrists has declined, leaving a gap that has lately been filled, in part, by Psychiatric Mental Health Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (P.M.H.-A.P.R.N.s). The Manual of Clinical Psychopharmacology for Nurses is designed to serve as both an academic textbook and a reference book for these nurses as well as mental health practitioners, general practitioners, and consumers. Each chapter is devoted to a specific category of mental disorders, guiding the reader through the pertinent symptoms while offering a holistic perspective unique to nursing. The book is further enriched by snapshots of prescribing for various treatment populations, pharmacogenomic information to guide personalization of medication therapies, and rating scales to quantify the impact of psychopharmacological interventions on the individual's treatment. The first and only psychopharmacology text specifically aimed at educating P.M.H.-A.P.R.N.s, Manual of Clinical Psychopharmacology for Nurses merges the fundamentals of medication treatment in common psychiatric disorders with the therapeutic approach of the nursing field in general to create a comprehensive, thoughtful, and exceedingly useful resource.

Weight Limit
- Saturday, August 20, 2005
There was a man driving down the road behind an 18 wheeler, at every stoplight the trucker would get out of the cab, run back and bang on the trailer door. After seeing this at several intersections in a row the motorist followed him until he pulled into a parking lot.
When they both had come to a stop the truck driver once again jumped out and started banging on the trailer door. The motorist went up to him and said, "I don't mean to be nosey but why do you keep banging on that door?"
To which the trucker replied, "Sorry, can't talk now, I have 20 tons of canaries and a 10 ton limit, I have to keep half of them in the air all the time!"

|Use the FM or TV Query to retrieve maps. At the FM Query or TV Query search form, enter your search parameters, and select the longer, detailed Query output. When the records are retrieved, look under each record for a series of links. Click on the "Service Area Map" link to retrieve the map page.
| These maps display the service contour for the FM or TV station that is
generally protected from interference caused by other stations under the present FCC rules.
However, interference-free reception is not guaranteed at all locations within
this contour. Local conditions (for example buildings, terrain, receiver quality,
type of receive antenna used) can influence reception of a radio signal.
Service does not stop at this contour line. In most cases, FM or TV stations can be received at locations well beyond the location of the mapped contour, with interference-free reception becoming less likely at greater distances. As a result, most stations actually provide serve to a substantially greater area than depicted by this contour. However, reception in in areas outside of this service contour is not protected from interference caused by other authorized stations.
|Contour distances less than 1.5 km: The smallest curve on the FCC's
FM and TV propagation curves calculates
the contour location at a distance of 1.5 km. For distances which are predicted to be less than 1.5 km using
the propagation curves, the curves program uses the free space equation to calculate the distance
to the contour. Near 1.5 km, these two methods do not agree: the free space
equation calculates a larger distance to the contour than does the FCC's propagation
curves. This shows up as an apparent discontinuity or jump in the contour at certain azimuths.
To minimize the visual effect of this discontinuity on the maps, distances calculated by the free space equation that are in excess of 1.5 km have been set to 1.5 km. This phenomenon will be seen most often on maps for lower-power directional FM or TV translator stations.
|Terrain affects FM and TV signals: Land features can affect the shape of an FM or TV station's service area. For example, a mountain may truncate service in some directions, reducing the service contour. Or a valley may cause a bulge in the contour because the terrain is lower in that direction, allowing the signal to extend further. FM and TV stations will often locate on a tall tower or mountaintop to reduce the effects of intervening terrain.
|Maps vary in scale to allow both large and small contours to be displayed with clarity. Maps will not be provided based on one display scale only.
|FM and TV Service Contour maps are provided for general use. No restriction is placed on the use of these maps. Any use is at the user's sole risk.
|The FCC does not guarantee the accuracy of the generated maps. Maps may not correspond to data used by applicants or the staff to evaluate applications.
|We regret that we cannot provide source code or assistance to persons or groups looking to generate their own maps. Nor can we honor requests for special maps or additional service or interfering contours, or computations of area or population within these contours.
|AM service contour maps are not available, and we have no time frame for providing such maps.
| Maps are generated from data extracted from the Media Bureau's
Consolidated Database System (CDBS). The accuracy of the maps is
in part dependent on the accuracy of the data contained in that database.
Data errors in the FM records may be brought to the attention of Dale Bickel, firstname.lastname@example.com.
Data errors in the TV records may be brought to the attention of Hossein Hashemzadeh, email@example.com.
|Maps will not be generated for archived CDBS records. However, maps for current records that later become archived will be retained, at least for the present. Maps for such recently archived records may be removed at some future date without prior notice if circumstances warrant.
|Map images are generated using the Census Bureau's Tiger Map server (http://tiger.census.gov). We thank the Census Bureau for its continued maintenance of this valuable resource.

Punky's Dilemma Lyrics
Wish I was a Kellogg's Cornflake
Floatin' in my bowl takin' movies,
Relaxin' awhile, livin' in style,
Talkin' to a raisin who 'casion'ly plays L.A.,
Casually glancing at his toupee.
Wish I was an English muffin
'Bout to make the most out of a toaster.
I'd ease myself down,
Comin' up brown.
I prefer boysenberry
More than any ordinary jam.
I'm a "Citizens for Boysenberry Jam" fan.
Ah, South California.
If I become a first lieutenant
Would you put my photo on your piano?
To Maryjane--
Best wishes, Martin.
(Old Roger draft-dodger
Leavin' by the basement door),
Everybody knows what he's
Tippy-toeing down there for

EXCLUSIVE OFFER: Get the inside scoop on opportunities in EGHT with the Ticky from Trade-Ideas.

Currently there are 5 analysts that rate 8x8 a buy, no analysts rate it a sell, and 1 rates it a hold. The average volume for 8x8 has been 723,200 shares per day over the past 30 days. 8X8 has a market cap of $721.4 million and is part of the technology sector and telecommunications industry. The stock has a beta of 0.17 and a short float of 5.9% with 4.36 days to cover. Shares are up 33.6% year to date as of the close of trading on Tuesday. STOCKS TO BUY: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks that can potentially TRIPLE in the next 12-months. Learn more. TheStreetRatings.com Analysis: TheStreet Quant Ratings rates 8x8 as a buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its robust revenue growth, increase in net income, expanding profit margins and solid stock price performance. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had somewhat disappointing return on equity. Highlights from the ratings report include:
- The revenue growth came in higher than the industry average of 2.8%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 21.8%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displaying stagnant earnings per share.
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has exceeded that of the S&P 500 and greatly outperformed compared to the Diversified Telecommunication Services industry average. The net income increased by 28.1% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from $1.74 million to $2.23 million.
- The gross profit margin for 8X8 INC is currently very high, coming in at 74.00%. It has increased from the same quarter the previous year. Regardless of the strong results of the gross profit margin, the net profit margin of 7.23% trails the industry average.
- Compared to its closing price of one year ago, EGHT's share price has jumped by 58.77%, exceeding the performance of the broader market during that same time frame. Looking ahead, the stock's sharp rise over the last year has already helped drive it to a level which is relatively expensive compared to the rest of its industry. We feel, however, that other strengths this company displays justify these higher price levels.
- 8X8 INC reported flat earnings per share in the most recent quarter. The company has suffered a declining pattern of earnings per share over the past year. However, we anticipate this trend reversing over the coming year. During the past fiscal year, 8X8 INC reported lower earnings of $0.19 versus $0.95 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($0.20 versus $0.19).

Illustrations by Alberto Seveso
We love us some typography, but we had no idea how appealing deconstructed typography could be until today... Truth be told, we had never even thought of the phrase "deconstructed typography" until today, but it's the first thing that came to mind upon viewing Alberto Seveso's "Destructive Vintage TyPO" series.
We love the use of watercolor and the look of of the words kind of falling in and out of clarity. So beautiful. Unfortunately this series is not available in his shop yet, but maybe if enough of us ask...?

i found this a while ago from another blog (cant remember which) and i've bookmarked it. i would loooooove to hang it it on my wall if it were a print!
My jaw dropped open :O

I found myself drooling over an advertisement for nude high-heel sandals the other day like they were giant ice-cream sundaes (or Ryan Gosling). Oh am I sooooooooo tired of my winter boots! Alas, it's not sandal weather yet in most parts of the country (you lucky ducks in Florida can go ahead and just laugh at us). (Oh and also I'm married -- sorry Ryan!)
But that's OK! I've got some great picks for shoes that will satisfy your spring-tooth but that you can actually start wearing now. Pedicure is optional!
It's wintertime and though the glistening mounds of snow and beautiful sculptured icicles are pristine to look at, they don't do much for the skin. In my house, winter means cold, dry weather that ruins my skin. It becomes dry, ashy, and itchy. It is miserable and if I dare to go outside for extended amounts of time or with wet hands, they often end up dry, cracked, and bleeding. It's awful. Thankfully, it doesn't have to be that way. With a few precautions you can have beautiful, supple skin all year round.
Here are things you can do to avoid dry skin this winter.
There's no doubt it has been a chilly winter for many of us. This is the time of year for bundling up and staying warm, so I was in luck when I found a viral pin that upcycles old sweaters into mittens! I've been dying to try this because it looks like it could actually work, but I had my reservations. Could the sweater mittens keep my hands warm? Do I have to know how to sew to complete these? Would they fall off my hands?
I had to give it a try!
Another Fashion Week is at an end in New York City, leaving us with tons of photos to drool over and feel depressed about because we can't afford ... hey! Wait a minute! That's crazy talk. Yes, more designer clothing is not for the mere mortal like me, but that doesn't mean we can't take inspiration from the fabulous trends and looks on the runways. Here are some of my favorites from this season that anyone can totally pull off!
Image via BeautyPress.com
Holy moly am I bored to tears of my winter "uniform!" And by that I mean either jeans or leggings with the same boring rotation of boring long-sleeved tops and boring sweaters. I need a tropical vacation! For three months!
Sigh. Since we can't all have that (and if you can, can you please put me in your suitcase?), we CAN indulge in a little retail therapy. Tons of stuff is on major mark-down right now, so it's the perfect time to treat yourself (and your closet!).
Image via Dress Barn
Is it summer yet? I say that just about every single day, and the answer keeps being ... NO! If you're like me and crave sunshine and brightness all winter long, cheer yourself up with some pretty, vibrant makeup, whether on your nails or for some extra kissable lips.
If I were a superhero, I'd be static girl. No one would want me on their superhero-avenging-type league, and at parties I'd stand alone and cry. In the best case scenario, I'd manage to mildly irritate a super-villain before they killed me for shocking them. Nobody likes static.
There's more of it in the winter months, and while it's easy enough to combat when your hair is the sticky-uppy culprit, getting your clothes static-free is a whole other deal. The easy fix is obviously spritzing yourself with water. But, given the recent outbreak of POLAR BEAR MURDERING WEATHER, tossing water upon your person might not be so appealing.
Brrr..it's cold outside! As if it isn't difficult enough to decide what to wear any old day of the week, it becomes nearly impossible once snow begins falling and temperatures dip into the 30s, 20s, or -- gasp -- teens and single digits! And while we still may be perfecting our ability to effectively layer without looking like Eskimos, one clothing item doesn't have to be such a headache AND can make your entire winter outfit: an amazing pair of snow/rain boots.
Well, another celebration of Christmas has come and gone, and all royal watchers' eyes were glued on England to see what Duchess Catherine would wear at St. Mary Madgalene Church, the church on Queen Elizabeth's Sandringham Estate, for the late-morning Christmas services. Our bet was on Kate's Christmas outfit featuring maroon or red -- like last year, when she went to services with the Middletons, and in 2011, when she was photographed in a maroon coat. But the only constant that remained were the Kiki McDonough green amethyst earrings she's worn every year!
For the traditional walk home from church, the Duchess opted for her tartan Alexander McQueen Black Watch coat (which she last wore in November 2012 to play field hockey at her old prep school), a new green suede Gina Foster hat, and her go-to Aquatalia Rhumba black, knee-high suede boots. And in the festive forest green ensemble, she's never looked lovelier.
Well, it's technically not Christmas yet, but that isn't stopping the royal family from going all out and celebrating! Kate Middleton, Prince William, little Prince George, Prince Charles and Camila, and Princess Beatrice, among others, were invited to Buckingham Palace today for the Queen's annual pre-Christmas lunch. Judging from the rain-spotted first photos taken of the Duke and Duchess arriving in their black Range Rover (not the new Bentley today!), it was quite dreary in London. But Kate kept things merry and bright in a festive, red coat, which yup, she's worn before!
Nope, it wasn't the L.K. Bennett one she wore on Poppy Day last month, or her scarlet Marianne coat-dress by Catherine Walker, which she wore on her final stop in Canada, but another beloved red coat -- by Armani, according to Grazia.

Pairing: 007/Q
Summary: When Q kisses him he knows he's in trouble.
When Q kisses him he knows he's in trouble.
The air is chilled and the two are twined together for warmth. Bond's nose is red and they both had grins plastered to their faces from a stupid joke he had cracked. There are Christmas lights up in the shop windows even though they aren't out of November yet, he had been complaining about that earlier.
His lips taste like the coffee he had just had at that café and Q knows his own must be flavored something along the lines of the Earl Grey he had been sipping across from him. A hand rests on his lower back, pulling them even closer than before and when they breathe out there are heavy clouds in place. There's something in his chest and it's terrible, this intense burning like he was being branded and Q knows that maybe this is what it feels like to be falling in love. They pull apart and he stares at 007 for a few moments, blindsided, because he swears when he agreed to this outing he didn't look half as beautiful as he does now.
Bond's got some stitches on the side of his face at the moment, he had just gotten back from an assignment and they had to stitch him up. Q had told him he was beginning to look like he had more scars than skin and 007 had scowled in reply. His left eye was a little bruised and the Quartermaster could only stare. What can he do? How do you stop this?
Love was not part of the plan, James Bond was not part of the plan. Sure a quick shag, noncommittal warmth in the night to curl up against, no strings no problem. He can still do his job and not worry about having to get emotionally invested. He is falling off the edge of a cliff and there's nothing he can do about it, grasping at the threads as he continues to gawk in a very un-Q-like manner.
"Are you alright?" this isn't the Bond he knows, the words murmured to him are low and their faces are too close. He doesn't want Bond touching him right now, he wants to say something nasty so he knows where they stand. They aren't lovers, they aren't even friends. What is happening why is this happening. So many questions are running through his mind and he has no answers because you can't hack a human brain and that is maddening.
He is completely at a loss, so he does the only thing he thinks he can, he pulls away, shoving the man away from him. They don't say anything for a few minutes and Q shakes his head, he says something, he isn't sure what but suddenly Bond's jaw clenches and he goes rigid. He leaves him there, walking the other way, the agent standing in the cold by himself.
Bond knows there will be a problem the minutes they hold hands.
They are in his flat, takeout laying half eaten in their cartons with chopsticks poking out. The telly is on and Q has his laptop out, eyes flickering between the screen and CNN, his fingers flicking over the keys absentmindedly. He's leaning slightly against 007, their shoulders bumping as the agent teases some noodles out of their bowl and into his mouth.
Q's flat was much like Q himself, modern, progressive and just a little bit cold. The rug under his feet was protecting him from the chill of the hardwood. The Quartermaster was combating the cold with a blanket wrapped around his shoulders, Bond wasn't sure when this had happened but he had started spending the night, neither commented on it.
Then, as easy as breathing, Q shut his laptop and leaned his head back, letting it rest against Bond's and the agent felt fingers twine against his. Without thinking he tightened his hold and the man beside him sighed so contentedly he felt icy panic grip his chest. What was he doing? What was going on right now?
They were on the brink of a relationship and if there was one thing James Bond didn't do it was relationships, self-conscious he extracted his hand and sat up a little straighter to shake Q off. The other man didn't say anything but the rejection was seen clearly on his features as he shifted away immediately and opened his laptop again to bury himself in.
He didn't stay the night again.
Q doesn't like the way seeing 007 flirt makes him feel.
He's working a few ways away and Bond has drifted in as he normally does, but this time instead of tormenting him he's now leaning over the edge of a pretty intern's desk laughing away as she turns an infuriating red. Q knows it's possibly to kindle jealousy on his part and despite his best efforts not to play into it he can't stop himself.
Their eyes meet only once before Q forces his gaze back down to his computer, 007 will lose interest eventually and have to leave.
He doesn't. No, instead he says good-bye to the intern, Q can't help but notice that she has written her phone number on a slip of paper and given it to him and Bond has put it in his pocket, and moves onto the next desk. It's a painful process, he strikes up conversation once more and then the pretty intern he began with gets envious and so both women begin competing. When Q looks back up he finds James sitting there smirking at him, like this is some kind of game.
"007, if you don't mind we have a branch to run here." he snaps.
"Oh of course, my apologies." The other replies easily, but doesn't move.
He leaves only after he's extracted phone numbers from six out of his ten underlings. Q doesn't like that he feels sick when he thinks about Bond sleeping with any of them, not after they've slept together. The idea of someone else laying in the side of the bed he has come to call his makes him want to pitch his mug at that smug bastard's head. Those images hang over his head the whole day until he goes home and finds the phone numbers taped to his door. He doesn't know what this means, but hopefully it hints that no one is sharing the agent's bed tonight.
Bond knows something has started that can't easily be stopped the day they eat breakfast together.
Q is wearing Bond's shirt from the night before, sitting on the agent's countertop with a bowl of cereal in his hands, crunching away as he readjusts his glasses to watch the TV closer. He doesn't look nearly as severe when Bond can see all those lovely bite marks and bruises blooming on his pale skin. In fact the sight makes him smile a little but Q doesn't appear to notice. 007's own bowl is forgotten momentarily as he watches the other man's behavior.
Affection swells in his chest for a moment, catching him off guard and he doesn't see anything wrong with acting on it, he tugs on the coattails of the shirt and Q glances away to stare at him with a raised eyebrow. "Can I help you?" he asks, mouth half full. Bond doesn't reply instead he takes the cereal from his counterpart and sets it down, tilting his head up to snag their mouths.
Q makes a lovely noise between a sigh and a moan and his legs tighten around his waist. Hands begin to wander and he feels gentle friction that sets his teeth on edge, there's a sinful smirk that Bond can feel against his mouth and suddenly the game is on. One he doesn't mind losing, because even if he comes out as number two he can count the experience overall as a win. Besides, Q looks good in his rumpled clothing. Lips catch the sensitive skin between the Quartermaster's neck and collarbone and he trails his teeth against it, eliciting a shiver that makes him go hard all over again.
"James," it was meant to sound annoyed, Bond can tell but it sounds too gentle and holding far too much emotion to be interpreted any other way than one. He can't form words, he maps out his response with his movements, the arch of his back and the feel of their hips pressed together in the morning light.
Q ponders where they stand when they show up to a party together.
Neither are touching, the suit resting on his shoulders itches and he wonders how Bond makes it look so easy and effortless. Everyone welcomes them, offering drinks and Q smiles tightly as he normally does, seeking out a corner to stand in until the evening is over.
Bond is in his element, he wanders, talking and laughing like he was old friends with every single person here. Moneypenny's eyes are boring a hole in his skull and Q glares back until a knowing smile curls on her lips that he finds frustrating. Women and their intuition. She looks over at Bond and her lips set into a thin line before she begins to sidestep towards Q. He doesn't want this, he just wants to be left in peace but that apparently isn't an option.
She comes over and drapes an arm over his shoulder, leaning in so her dress exposes more than he cares to see, giving off the appearance of someone whose had one too many drinks but Q knows her game for the glint in her eye is that of a plotting hag's. She whispers something in his ear that makes his cheeks flood with heat against his will and Bond isn't laughing anymore from across the room, he's staring at them with a dangerous expression on his face.
Q will have to save this for later reference because to be honest he has to tolerate him flirting with anything with a pulse but the moment someone comes onto him it's serious. This double standard makes him raise his chin in challenge and he turns his attention to Moneypenny who is all too happy to play along.
He wraps an arm around her waist and they speak for a few moments until she untangles herself, giggling like a drunken schoolgirl, Bond is beside him in less than a second, as if he teleported. His jealousy makes Q's stomach flip especially since he looks pointedly at the secretary and grabs Q's hand and presses a kiss to it. "Alright dear?" he asks.
"Positively lovely." The Quartermaster doesn't miss a beat and Bond doesn't realize he's been played for fool until Eve sobers up immediately and rolls her eyes.
"I knew you two were together." And then she's gone, talking to M like nothing has happened. Bond glowers, but Q notices he doesn't let go.
He also notices he doesn't deny the claim that they are together.
Bond knows he's a goner when he wakes up before he does.
He's snuggled into the bed against James like the mattress was made for this, face pressed against the pillow and hair standing on edge from a rough night. The blanket falls to his lower back, exposing the white skin bleached grey in the light of the bedroom. Their clothes are scattered all over the floor, they had been desperately ripping them off of each other and they now lay forgotten. Q's delicate hand is pressed against Bond's chest, lax with sleep.
Q's an early riser and always wakes before him, so this is a rare treat. He has never really admired the man beside him until now, the long lashes and boyish charm that was usually absent when he was awake. It made Bond choke on some kind of emotion he wasn't familiar with.
He tries to get out of bed without waking him and fails, Q's eyes flutter open and time stops. He rubs the sleep away, stretching slowly before propping himself up on his elbow, managing a muddled grin. "You're up early." He remarks, voice gravelly.
Well fuck, Bond thinks to himself. There's no going back now.
Q accepts his fate when they spend his last night together before he goes out on a mission.
The lights are off and their breathing is even, foreheads pressed together. Neither want to admit that they know he might not be coming back, it's too heavy a conversation for the feather light kisses trailing down each others' shoulders. Bond hasn't said a word since he got home and the pair would rather not dwell on what's ahead for them.
They have sex three times that night and when it's done all they can do is lay in the ruined sheets and stare at the ceiling. The lights don't come on, Bond lights a cigarette and the ember glows lazily in the night, the smoke barely visible as it curls heavenward. Each are thinking of what to say but neither can salvage the words and that seems to be a pretty sad excuse but it'll have to do for now.
Q wonders if there's anything to say, if this is just being blown out of proportion but then he realizes for once how dangerous a life this is. How sometimes he will stay awake through the late hours and worry, wonder whether or not Bond's still breathing. How some days things won't be alright and that he might have to deal with seeing a broken body carted in by the medical evac. How one day he might just die and Q would have no say in the matter.
The cigarette is still burning and Bond hasn't spoken. Q decides maybe he should. His adam's apple bobs in his throat like a rock. "What time do you leave?"
"Six." Comes the steadfast reply. It's three o'clock now, only three more hours to spend before he's gone. A callused hand finds his in the dark and a thumb rubs along his knuckles. "You worry too much." It's not meant to be waspish, only amused.
Q snorts. "Hardly."
All the lust has burned down, it's just them together naked in a too warm room and the Quartermaster closes his eyes. He doesn't mean to fall asleep and when he wakes up Bond is gone, his side of the bed made up. There's a note in hasty handwriting telling him to take care of himself while he's gone and to remember to eat and sleep at some point.
He reads it five times and knows that he's lost the fight and he's okay with this.

Quote: But none of them have Mac OS X and therefore are not comparable.
RAM and disks are cheap enough.
Tosh total and utter. If you want a machine for office and photo editing then compare it on how the industry standard applications run. So for Photo's Lets have Photoshop CS4, and for Office lets have MS Office 2007.
Then lets set them the task of doing some common processing tasks. Lets compare how a good 23" screen compares to a 20" screen. The OS in this case is irrelevant as both support it.
Take all the emotional baggage out of it, lets see a straight comparison. I have no problem with OS-X, I view it ambivalently as it is only an OS and the end applications should be the same. And the applications are setting the user interface here as well.
So for the same money, is it better to have OS-X but with the smaller memory and smaller screen, or Vista 64 bit with more memory and a bigger screen. My concern with apple is they throttle total performance by picking style over electronic design and price too high.
Even the two Dell machines I picked show the compromises to performance per £ that occurs as you go for the styled integrated unit. Now imagine if you could get a modern Base machine with the new Core's running a decent quality display and it could run OS-X. Think how much faster for the same money you could have. Come on Apple lets have a value for power users machine.
All these comparisons show to me is that Apple could produce a greater performance machine for the price, and that they do not, to me, is sad and unfair on those who must use the Mac system. Admit it, would you turn down the current iMac if they took the £100 extra profit Apple makes over the Pc vendors. Or would you reject a decent base machine with your choice of OS and the better screen for the same price?
That's your opinion, personally I'd rather run OSX on a mobile phone than windows on a Cray.
I am responsible for our little networ here (3 servers and 6-8 workstations and my support workload fell to almost zero since we switched to a Linux/Mac configuration. I do more support for friends with windows than I do for all our computers here
And Stolzty we run a network of over 100 machine running Windows with little or no overhead. What does that prove, if you know what you are doing it just works, the OS is trivial. We used to run Linux on a couple of servers, we gave up as there was no advantage and more systems to support.
Oh and we could not use Mac as the applications we use are not supported on non-windows platforms, a situation true for the majority of design software.
Let me try again, I see no reason to pick between Windows or Mac, except for price or how pretty it looks, but even there there are choices.
Still lets sort it, how about someone running the real test of same applications on the different machines. To be honest all OS are reliable enough not to worry. Lets see how they and the hardware process some files and images and lets look at how the images look on the displays.
The computer exists to do a task. Not to look pretty in the corner of the room.

Quote: Let me try again, I see no reason to pick between Windows or Mac
Macs run OSX, that is why they are more expensive. No body is forcing you to buy it, but if you appreciate its benefits its worth every penny.
Since apple is about the only computer manufacurer with growing sales at the moment plenty of people seem to appreciate the difference.
Quote: if you know what you are doing it just works
I don't want to become an expert just to use a computer, I want it to just work.
Quote: To be honest all OS are reliable enough not to worry
Now you owe me for a new keyboard - this one has coffee and saliva all over it!
Stolzy are you saying you are a network administrator that does not know about computers??????????????????
And OSX does not account for the price difference, big fat apple profit does OSX should cost less to develop and maintain than Windows because of the reduced platform and application base and because they pay less attention to legacy.
OK there are fewer users, but it is what, less than £20 a machine in real cost.
As for reliability we have a system that measures down time. All I can do is talk about the network and machines I have management responsibility for. Time is money, I would know if it were not reliable. We have machines with very long up time and no crashes.
Pick OSX by all means, but I cannot substantiate your anti Windows stance, and can provide evidence to the contrary. But I can point to over high prices and sub optimal performance. I would have no qualms leaving windows behind, it is only an OS. But Apple is not the direction to leap.
But as I said worry about the Screen and the applications. The OS only sits below to allow the applications to run.

No I'm not a network administrator - we don't need one - we have Macs.
But I am the person responsible for maintaining the servers and workstations.
it's supposed to be a very small part of my job, and now we have Macs, it is.
Ah so an amateur sticking a few mac's together shows what???? I have a home network, up to 5 different lap top's, two base machines, a PS3, a PSP, and an iPod touch all working on it. What does that prove. Nothing apart from its a piece of cake to do such a thing.
So that makes Linx, Xp, Vista, and whatever the iPod runs all working together. and the OS problems????/
Easy is it not? Proves nothing, sorry.
I take it you give in on the performance comparison?
If you have to ask you are a PC user! Just enter the real world and buy a bl**dy MAC. It's like Nikon, once you have used one you will never want to use anything else!!!
Quote: Easy is it not? Proves nothing, sorry.
We used to have a windows network - and a nerd for hire to fix the problems - he's spending more time with his family now.
I spend less time on admin tasks now (without the nerd and without windows) than I did with windows and his help.
Well I have not experienced the problems you mention. so what does that prove????
Give us some examples of the problems. Also how old was the windows kit. Would replacing it with up to date stuff have solved your problems? It is a trend of advancing IT that you spend less maintaining it.
It's true not much in it. but I just prefer the way the mac works. I used only PCs for 10yrs maybe and it was fine, still use them at work everyday. But the MAC just has something else. Use-ability maybe? They are slicker.

Sorry I haven't been able to post in a while
been busy with other things. I'll try to keep up more though!
topher2323 said: How do you feel about Misthollow Griffin, in particular? It may see play in Eternal Formats, simply so people don't have to 'waste' a card for alternate costs on cards like FoW
I think the griffin is interesting, definitely. He can do a lot of cool things. The only problem in my opinion though is that, well, he just costs too much. I'd prefer if he just cost UU even if that meant having to drop his p/t, but in a world with Delver I dont see how a practically vanilla 3/3 for 2 is so bad.
espacowilliswillis said: Thank god it wans't just me that hated this set. AVR could have saved the Innistrad set but I think they completely wasted it
I loved innistrad, I liked dark ascension, and I just hate AVR. Miracles are gimmicky and a waste of time, cavern of souls had no reason to be printed, and everything else in the set is an absolute waste. Flavor wise it's really cool, but I don't play the game for flavor.
after a decent amount of thinking
I'm probably giving up on standard for a long while. Until rotation maybe. I just hate AVR and everything the set is doing.
I like the people who keep posting this before the set even comes in, before any theorycrafting is done behind peoples standard decks or the actual power of the set is demonstrated.
see you in a year and a half?
I never said I was going to stop playing magic? There is such a thing as eternal formats. I don't enjoy standard right now, and I highly doubt I'll enjoy it much more post AVR.
after a decent amount of thinking
I'm probably giving up on standard for a long while. Until rotation maybe. I just hate AVR and everything the set is doing.
Caw-blade in modern
It's happening. Especially because my store actually does modern events!
And I've been surprised to find out that I would actually play zoo. Only countercat zoo of course, because I do not like playing decks without blue in them, but I would play that version of zoo. Just a random fact I guess.
Okay guys
Should I focus on Legacy, Modern, or Standard?
I mean i'll still acquire some standard stuff too, but it won't be the main focus if I go with Modern or Legacy.

That is satisfying.
Beginning to reacquire my stock of things for post rotation
back to 2 snappy's and a Geist. Still have quite a ways to go.
Also, trying to deduce what the metagame is going to be like post rotation is difficult. It seems like red is getting a TON of things to help (by a ton I mean 4 vexing devil, not saying it's broken by any means, but it's a good card.) but I'm hoping some more control stuff comes around.

Unfortunate side effect... win some, lose someOriginally Posted by beeswax
but doesn't that mean that you also have the shiny side in as well? it could fry your brain. trust me, I know.
Unfortunate side effect... win some, lose someOriginally Posted by beeswax
I may be wrong but have we drifted away from the topic?
is there a possibility of drawing two threads together here? the LEA's seem to want their own area within edugeek. no doubt they'd sell themselves as would anyone offered a spot here. Edugeek are now offering free training seminars. how much easier/better would it be to get LEA recognition (they seem to be making overtures towards us) of these courses, and the funding to attend them?
I've just re read the above, does it make sense? damn tin foil
we will of course work with an lea and any lea who wanted to run a course with us but catch is if it sst workshop then it needs to be open to anybody not just people from there lea.. as sst have to work with everybody to certain degree...
does that make sense but if leas want to work with us quite welcome to contact me or tony and we can sort something out
There is no question - edugeek must remain independant in everything it does from the forum to the training sides of it. That's what makes it ideally placed to be the pivitol organisation that brings together ideas and suggestions not only to the tecchies on the ground but to all those involved in ICT within education.
Although we gripe about our LEA sometimes it has to be said that in some things they are well ahead of other LEAs, for example all schools in Birmingham have had access to a VLE for nearly 4 years. By giving LEAs a neutral ground to ask opinions and gain new ideas edugeek would be helping to reduce the LEA catchment lottery as far as ICT in schools is concered. It would also give us mere mortals an open forum to comment on plans that the LEA has or may have.
I'm not representing an LEA - the idea came up during a discussion about something totally unrelated. I thought I'd plant the first seed and see what the reaction was and maybe get others thinking about the idea further and make suggestions of their own.
I really don't know how far this could be taken, but a forum dedicated to interested parties (The LEA) could be a good place to start.
If there are any LEA reps out there - it would be interesting to hear your opinion too
PS Tin foil is hopeless - you need 2 inches of lead in a carbon fibre stealth helmet
I agree with Alan. I don't want to see LEA's seperated on Edugeek. EG is a success and the knock on effect should be the creation of LEA equivellants and supplementary projects.
A great thing about EG is that it showcases the best and worst in the whole of the UK. There's a lot of great stuff going on and the coming together here sharing knowledge of that to me means that everyone gains. Some are very lucky and well provided for, but the rest can hit some sort of standard.
There's definately room in my opinion for LEA advisors to take a keener interest/ more active part here. If not I see thier function becoming more and more outmoded.

City to sell California acreage for single-family development
The unimproved property at 350 Two Mile Road will be sold to the Crestview Hills-based developer for $196,000, its estimated fair market value.
Harbor View Holdings has indicated that it is under contract to purchase an adjacent parcel of land at 437 Sutton Road to provide roadway access to the landlocked, steeply sloping property.
The sale agreement allows the developer one year to investigate the feasibility of building upon the land, which was formerly controlled by the Cincinnati Recreation Commission and is currently zoned for park and recreational use.

Stars at Paris Fashion Week
Katy Perry and others watch the catwalk shows in Paris

Alert Cthulhu Idol
This idol was sculpted by Andrew Leman for the movie. Each piece is cast in polyeurethane resin and is numbered from a limited edition of 50. True, they are expensive, but each idol is hand-cast, hand-finished, and hand-painted greenish color with pearlescent highlights. Each idol comes in a hand-made wooden shrine box as seen in the movie. This is a beautiful, albeit creepy, collector's item.
As was foretold in ancient prophecies, this idol was very popular and the entire edition has SOLD OUT. ALL DONE, NO MORE.
Height: 10 3/4" - 27.3cm
Width: 7" - 17.7cm
Depth: 6" -15.2cm
Weight: 5lbs. - 2.3kg

Extra's Maria Menounos Talks Food and Fitness
Written on August 15, 2012 at 9:30 am , by FITNESS Intern
Written by Lisa Turner, editorial intern
Maria Menounos is always challenging herself in new ways. She danced her way through painful injuries on season 14 of Dancing with the Stars, and runs her own charity, Take Action Hollywood!, which raises awareness for causes like diabetes and AIDS. If that isn't enough, she often travels from L.A. to New York for her role as host on popular entertainment show EXTRA!, and produces AfterBuzz TV, a network devoted to giving "post-game" wrap-ups of the most popular shows.
Now, as a longtime fan of Crocs, she helped them celebrate their 10-year anniversary by ringing the opening bell for NASDAQ on July 31. We caught up with her right before to find out how she stays fit and keeps her energy up through the long work hours.
How did you get involved with Crocs?
I've been a fan for a while. I'm actually sporting the Carlisa style right now and got a ton of compliments! I like them a lot because they're comfy and cute, and I can fit in my orthotics.
Tell me about your injuries on Dancing with the Stars.
I had multiple stress fractures in my feet. I was looking back at a video of our doble paso, and though I remember being in so much pain, I'm not showing it. I never complained! I just kept doing it. I was kind of impressed with myself, I have to say! Now I'm just trying to heal from the show.
What was your favorite part about competing?
It didn't feel like a competition. I was having way too much fun to compete with anybody. We set the tone by being friendly and helping each other. I made so many good friends, like instructors Derek Hough and Peta Murgatroyd. We all still keep in touch.
What type of workouts do you like to do?
I generally like to work out outdoors as much as possible. I'll do yoga outside in my yard, play basketball, go running or hike. I do a lot of floor Pilates, too, and I want to get back into Krav Maga. I love anything that has me learning something new at the same time.
We have to ask…how do you get those awesome abs?
I try to keep it simple. Sometimes I'll partner up with my best friend and fashion editor Rachel Zalis, or with Extra's Renee Bargh, and we'll toss a medicine ball back and forth or compete with one another by seeing who can do the most crunches while holding the ball. I also trick myself into doing 50 crunches by switching from straight up and down and then to each side. If you confuse your body, it goes faster!
You're a role model for a lot of women. Any advice for those who are looking to get in shape without doing any crazy diets or workouts?
First and foremost, doing things the right way is always the best way. I don't think diets or pills should ever be a consideration because it won't stay off. I wrote about how I did it in my book, The EveryGirl's Guide to Life, where I explain step-by-step how I lost weight. At first, I just started by eating smaller portions, even food that was considered "cheating." I never weighed myself. When that got easy, I started to eat better by integrating better food into my "diet." After a year, I lost 40 pounds.
It's best to think about everything in terms of health, not just one size or a number you want to weigh. Ask yourself, "What's the best I can do for my body?" Think about yourself as a car – are you going to use the cheap gas or buy the good stuff? Even if the best gas is a bit more expensive, you want your car to run well. We take our bodies for granted because they're so resilient.
Do you have any healthy homemade Greek recipes?
I think the easiest thing I make is a Greek salad with no lettuce. You use tomatoes and cucumbers, some onion, and I always use a little oregano. You can throw in some feta cheese and olive oil, too. Vinegar is good but the tomatoes are so juicy that you might not need it. It's very simple and fast. I grow my own tomatoes so there's no pesticides or any of that stuff you don't want.
Does eating clean help your energy throughout the day?
It absolutely helps me – I have so much energy! If I eat things that aren't good for me, I get lethargic and tired. A clean diet means boundless energy. Plus, if you keep busy, you're less apt to eat unhealthy things. Though you wouldn't expect it, I stay slim not by working out like crazy every day, but by keeping active all day long. I'm always moving.

Those of you who think I pick on wrestling fans should take a look at the latest turn of my reporting on the concussion crisis in sports. Lately I've been confronting football and its fans, but the principle is the same: those of us who enjoy athletic spectacles bear a share of responsibility for the public health fallout of the popular entertainments we help make and sustain.
The least defensive of wrestling fans have always understood that my focus on the death pandemic in the WWE era was a compliment as much as a putdown. I've simply been writing about a netherworld on which I have a unique perspective from my family background. At the same time, I refuse to give the wrestling industry a pass, which would be patronizing.
Internally, smart fans agree that wrestling is more real – and the rest of the world more worked – than is commonly presumed. It's just that when someone goes to the trouble of pointing this out in life-and-death specifics, and refuses to turn the page, the instinct is to shoot the messenger rather than process the facts.
Yes, adult accountability is a hard thing all the way around. Right now I'm in public disagreement with a guy named Brian Frederick, who started an organization called the Sports Fans Coalition. The concept behind this lobby is that the owners of major sports leagues need to be pressured in the halls of Congress to stop taking their devoted followers for granted. Which is fine as far as it goes. The list of the coalition's urgent "public policy issues," however, somehow doesn't include widespread traumatic brain injury. It is reserved for items such as ending local blackouts of pro football games that didn't sell out their stadiums in advance, and abolishing college football's Bowl Championship Series.
Wrestling fans have a stake in this debate. This is not only because the industry's toll of early deaths and ruined lives proportionally exceeds football's. There are also impossible-to-ignore connections among the players. The profile of the concussion crisis was permanently elevated by the 2007 murder-suicide of Chris Benoit. A leading figure in the resulting civic dialogue (though a disappointingly bland one of late, in my view) is ex-wrestler Chris Nowinski. WWE's medical director, Dr. Joseph Maroon, is an NFL consultant and spokesman whose hyper-commercialism and shady research on concussions are ground zero of an undercovered two-decade-long behind-the-scenes story.
The masses spend their passion on the fantasies of The Rock and C.M. Punk, and their apathy on public health. I get that. But if you all don't mind – or even if you do – I think I'll keep pitching.

The Voters Are Speaking
(#) drifter 2010-02-23 01:49:40 AMI have really enjoyed your story, and will be looking forward to your sequel.
As to Harry, couldn't happen to a nicer guy. I have a couple of soapboxes that really add up to I don't like Dumbledore or Ron from cannon, and never really could. Your story seems to point to a Harry surviving all the problems they and Moldyshorts represent.
Again, thanks for a darn good story.
May the MUSE always be with you!!!

(#) GhostofHP 2010-12-16 08:50:29 AMWhat a fabulous story, I would love to see a sequel showing the further exploits of Harry and his GF's. Great writing!
The Voters Are Speaking
(#) drifter 2011-02-24 12:25:40 AMLike everyone (on the first page anyway), I really like this one, and will definitely check the sequel ... SOON!
Like Lycus, I like it when the hero gets proper support and rewards. This series and most Japanese anime, the hero gets only stress and angst. Little at the ends to.
NEVER understood the genus and the moRon getting together. Ginny getting the Harry with so little work bothered me to. Like a number others, I think Mrs. Weasley's penchant for love potions (cannon) played a part.
Thans for a very good and fun story.
May the MUSE always be with you!!!
The Voters Are Speaking
(#) LabRat 2011-09-12 12:50:46 AMAfter reading this story for a second time, I have to say that I enjoyed it just as much as I did the first time.
And wow, is Harry lucky. Four exceptionally hot girlfriends, and a bunch of fuck buddies.
Not to mention three hot MILFs who are making some plans of their own.
And I'm still looking for a spell to possess Harry's body.

One sector has to step forward
Money managers are waiting on a better level to buy up, and I believe it'll be these groups.
Down opening. Could be interesting. It's kind of what the bulls want to see: a down opening with quiet research.
I keep thinking of that hold-to-sell downgrade of 3M (MMM) by Morgan Stanley. The report revealed that the industrial levitation could be a house of cards. This was made all the more important because the purchasing managers index from China was strong and the Baltic Freight Index has been good and the Macau take excellent. These are our real barometers. 3M had been an Asia-recovery story until Monday, when the company was revealed as a multiple-expansion story -- one for which the multiple had expanded too much, too fast.
But today is a new day, and I still think the money management complex is just waiting to get to an entry point where it can feel comfortable picking up some stocks for year's end.
What will they go for? More financials? Some retailers, because they have been so beaten up? Circle back to industrials after a few days? The biotechs coming off the best month in years? Oils after a hefty run down that now seems to have found its footing? The Internet high-multiple techs that had been so strong but wilted Monday? A run back into the housing-related names?
One of these groups has to step forward. I think we will know by the first couple of hours which one it will be. I am betting it'll be another move in the financials and a better tone to the housing stocks.
If we don't see some leadership surfacing, though, we can bet that this one's going down until we get big data that can turn it, because there aren't enough big earnings reports out there to make a difference.
Right now it is all based on managers trying to play catch-up vs. managers who need it down.
I think the winner of that tug of war will determine the next 5% move in this market.

i think growth ALWAYS comes from technology. real technology. not "websites".
look forward 20 years. what will we have? very likely new technology. and new products as a result of technology.
what new technologies are ripe for growth? cars, home lighting, home heating or AC. battery methods. recharging methods. generation methods. how about simple home generating systems?
the logistics of moving material around a company or around the world is still in serious need of improvement. seek out companies making EPR systems. (enterprise resource systems).
CAD systems (computer aided design) are still in need of more improvements in the areas of FEA (finite element analysis). full simulation of products before making a single unit saves serious money in locating design flaws and improvements. 3D printers are a natural outcome of all this. 3D printer manufacturers are striving to adapt their machines to production grade materials instead of just ABS plastic.
the list is long cramer. but if you want to see the next band wagon, you'll be straining your neck for that sort of vision
Decisions, decisions....This might be the mini-pullback of some issues or even more...??
A couple percent here, 3-4 % there; It's starting to add up...

Amazing movie. Based on a true story, too. Loved it because I grew up watching F1 every Sunday. That was my church. It's the only sport I ever watched. There's enough racing in this movie for me. The acting was great, too. Odd to see Thor without his beard though.

Must Watch List (November 2013)
So much to look forward to in November - my blog anniversary, my birthday & Thanksgiving (on the same day this year!), and of course some great movies. Here is a list of the movies I recommend or can't wait to see this month. As always, check back here to catch of on my thoughts and commentary related to these movies as I watch them.
*Note: some of this theatrical release dates are for limited release before it opens in wide release; all are US dates
[November 8]
"Thor: The Dark World"
Chris Hemsworth is back in action as the Norse god Thor, and I can't be happier. I'm still surprised how much I loved the last movie, only watching it hours before seeing The Avengers as a way to get any backstory I needed. Love what Marvel is doing with creating a plan for the whole universe and how each movie franchise - Iron Man (though the movies bore me), Thor, Captain America… and hopefully one day Hulk (Mark Ruffalo is by far the best of all I've seen on the big screen) - fits into that universe.

This was an impulse 'buy'. Was sitting in Clapham Common on what MUST have been one of the hottest day London has seen in ages. I got bored and very hot and bothered, had to leave but what to do, what to do.....oh I can get a manicure.
I'm not aware of too many places in Clapham Common that you can get a manicure especially without an appointment. This place looked good but the girls in side looked BORED and half asleep but to be fair it could had been the heat and their despair of not being outside themselves. I walked in and was expecting someone to liven up and serve me- that did not happen, the girls mostly stayed put (-1 star) . I ended up approaching one of them and asking about price and whether I needed an appointment (I didn't).
£40 for a manicure and pedicure...is that too much? I honestly don't know. I've never had a pedicure before till today and manicure are usually around £18-£20 aren't they? So I'm not sure if it was a bargain or I was ripped off but either way I was pretty happy with my nails and they were done very professionally though they weren't very chatty. I felt I sat in silent for a lot of the time.
Overall the end product was good and they had a wide range of colours. The place could do with a bit of a make over as it seemed really plain. There is a downstairs which I assume is where the waxing, facial and massages happen. (There's currently a 40% off massages going on.) I would recommend it if you're not fussy about all the other stuff. They were fast and professional and my nails are still good and intact 5 days later.
I imagine it was the heat so I might go back and try them again, maybe the service and atmosphere would be better.
I really didn't like this place, and it was only out of sheer desperation to get my nails done that I came.
It's very overpriced for what it is, especially considering they're using cheap products in the salon. I had a pedicure and was made to sit on what is possibly the most uncomfortable bench ever - it's modelled on some sort of prison-style bench, which is a little unnerving.
They didn't have a very wide range of polish colours and the women there aren't very friendly; I especially didn't like that they were very blatantly talking and laughing at a customer in their own language.
That said, my nails look alright. They're not very even in length, but what the hell.
I always get my nails done here!
Great service, friendly staff and professional services. The added bonus is that its right next to the tube station!
The only drawback is that it is a little pricey, but its def a lot cheaper than anasis plus images does a much better job.
