Thorazine is the brand name for chlorpromazine, a medication belonging to phenothiazines, a group of anti-psychotic drugs that alter the actions of chemicals in the human brain. It is used for serious psychotic disorders treatment, successfully helping patients with schizophrenia or manic depression (bypolar disorder). Thorazine is also incredibly effective for treating severe behavioral problems in children and teenagers. Apart from its use in psychiatry, it is known in other medical areas as a great means for nausea, vomiting, anxiety before surgery, acute intermittent porphyria, chronic hiccups, and symptomatic treatment of tetanus.
Thorazine has to be used with great caution in patients with the following conditions: liver and/or kidney diseases; increased blood pressure, especially if it causes or might result in significant heart prolbems; breathing problems such as asthma or emphysema; glaucoma; a history of breast cancer; hypocalcemia; adrenal gland tumor; urination problems in men, especially those involving an enlarged prostate; Parkinson's disease; seizures. If you can relate to any of these, take time to discuss the positive and negative sides of Thorazine therapy with your healthcare provider.

This happened to me before. It seems to come when I install tweaks that have conflicts with each other. Try to uninstall some tweaks. Look for those that change the app switcher or tweaks that contain many smaller tweaks.
Or you could restore your device.

When ever my iphone starts acting up i always just erase and re-install everything. I back up my contacts, photos and app purchases to icloud. I dont have any apps to back up my cydia stuff. I just have a handwritten list of cydia sources and tweaks to refer to.
As for restoring via itunes. It has a feature where you can load the version of the ios you want to use(as long as you have the file on your pc or mac). I think as long as you use the version of ios currently on your device you should have no problems.
To get back to your issue, are you having this problem in landscape, portrait mode or both? I'm currently having a similar problem. In landscape mode i cant view more than 8 open programs in app switcher. After I scroll twice the icons vanish. I have none of these problems in portrait mode. Last time this happened i found out that for some reason auxo and springtomize2 being installed together was causing the problem. After I uninstalled them everything went back to normal.
I know this post is long enough, I'm almost done.
Go through your cydia packages and remove the ones you dont need, the ones that are not compatible with your ios but still work and those that make any changes to the app switcher. I still suggest a backup and restore without update.

No Doubt postpones tour, plans to record new music
Los Angeles, CA, United States (4E) – Ska-rock band No Doubt announced on Facebook that they will be postponing their touring this year to focus on creating a new album.
In the post, the band said, "While we were traveling the world last year promoting Push And Shove, Gwen mentioned she was inspired to write new music. In December, around the time of our hometown shows, we discussed the idea of starting 2013 by getting back into the studio together. We did so in January and the new music started flowing with unexpected ease. After spending three years recording the last album, this new pace feels incredibly exciting."
"We have decided to follow our muse for the time being and focus on this new music that we don't want to stop. So, we will be postponing our tour plans briefly while we endeavor to create something special and inspired. Our goal as a band is to share this new music with you as quickly as possible – both recorded and live on tour. "
"As always, thank you all for your kind words, incredible support and patience. We promise to keep you updated with photos and videos from the studio," the band added.
The band, composed of Gwen Stefani, Tony Kanal, Adrian Young, and Tom Dumont, is yet to announce further details of their seventh studio album.

Prior to [OpenFlow], we've simply never had a programmatic way to reach deep enough in to enterprise-grade networking devices to do what we need to do. Configuring a network, to us, is modifying the inputs used in network algorithms imprinted deep in embedded hardware and software. Programming a network, which is what we need to do, implies relying on these algorithms most of the time but over-riding them every once in a while. A simple case in point: our virtual networks don't need spanning tree.
Rather than creating a new paradigm, Big Switch Networks believes there is an opportunity to slip in a virtualization layer underneath the existing one. The company further states: "As new applications, new departments or new classes of traffic emerge, we believe that a networking team should have the choice of whether to manage that via the familiar tools of the underlying physical network or via those same familiar tools applied to a virtual network on top."
As an explanation, the company defines network virtualization by calling out three fundamental principles:
- Hosts on the network see the virtual topology, not the underlying physical topology.
- Application or department-level admins manage their virtual topology, not the underlying physical topology.
- The central team can add capacity when needed by scaling out the underlying physical topology without impacting the virtual topologies on top.
Big Switch Networks may have the juice needed to pull off its stated mission. But to give it that extra nudge, the company has joined up with the Open Networking Foundation (ONF), a nonprofit organization committed to furthering the OpenFlow standard and other software-defined networking (SDN) technologies as a way to speed innovation in the networking industry.
The ONF was established last month by six leading companies that own and operate some of the largest networks in the world: Deutsche Telekom, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Verizon, and Yahoo. Joining these six founding companies in creating ONF are 17 member companies, including major equipment vendors, networking and virtualization software suppliers, and chip technology providers.
Indeed, it sounds like networking may well be on the path to becoming "interesting" again. In the meantime, we'll have to watch and see how SDN, OpenFlow, and network virtualization start showing up in our networks.

Today, I had my heart broken1 Reviews
Love hurts, especially when it is not reciprocated. It hurts even more when your best friend, whom you love, wants you to meet his new girlfriend.
Please do not steal this fanfiction or try and pass any of this off as your own work.
Today, I had my heart broken
It is cold, bitterly cold out here, but it doesn't seem as harsh; not now anyway. I didn't want this to happen, no, I never did. But now it seems to have come to pass, and my heart has been torn in two. Like a paper flower; so delicate, and yet insignificant, almost to the point of ignorance.
It all started such a long time ago, that I can't even recall the date precisely. But it started so long ago, and I never forgot the day I let you know how I felt. You were shocked, I remember, and you told me you didn't feel the same so we should just be friends. You never knew how much you hurt me then, I'm sure. Because all the while, you thought I was okay with it, and all the while, we fooled on and spoke to one another with such confidence.
We acted like closest friends, like there was nothing we kept from each other and that was how it seemed best. Well, at least for a while anyway. There was so much fun had during that time, and we got closer, so much closer.
Yes, I admit I loved you even more in that time and more than I could tell you, I knew you wouldn't approve. But I loved you all the same, no matter how much you got on my nerves, no matter what kind of a day it was. I loved you because you loved me...you seemed to anyway.
And I never thought we would fade away, and grow distant. We never did really, but there were moments when I began to wonder.
I could anticipate all of your moves, thoughts and actions until this happened...until everything changed and you broke my heart more than you ever had in the past. This, I couldn't have anticipated.
So that's why I'm walking morbidly slowly through the streets, already drenched from the pouring rain and looking like I've been dead for weeks. He broke my heart...
It is cold, bitterly cold out here, but it doesn't seem as harsh as he is.
"Come on guys, concentrate! We're going on tour in five weeks, and we need to get these songs perfect" ordered Kaoru, the band leader. "Shinya, wake up! You're a little off today!"
Shinya snapped out of his daze, uttering a small and mousy 'oh', before picking up his drum sticks and looking over dreamily at red-headed guitarist Andou Daisuke. Die. He and Die had been friends for an awful long time and spent a lot of time together. Not just at band practice, but on their days off they would head off to the park together, or take a drive out someplace. Even when they weren't exploring the great outdoors together, they would sit at one another's house for hours on end playing on video games, watching TV together, fun fighting or writing music together; though this would often be Die trying songs out on Shinya to get his opinion on it.
They were virtually inseparable and anyone would have thought that the two band mates were a couple, but sadly they weren't. Die had never returned Shinya's affections.
"Shinya! You're at it again, bloody daydreaming" Kaoru barked at him.
"Sorry," the drummer replied, now concentrating as much as he could upon the practice.
He was sure Die knew he had been staring at him, sure that the hairs on Die's neck at raised and become sensitive to his gaze. But there had been no response from him. Die, as always, remained solely concentrated on the band practice.
When Kaoru had lost patience with them all, and resigned himself to the fact that that was as good as he was going to get from them for the day; he called the practice to an end, and left along with vocalist Kyo and bassist, Toshiya. Now, only Die and Shinya were left in the practice room, Shinya putting his drum kit away; Die watching him do so, his guitar only to put in its case.
"I have something to tell you Shin-Chan," Die said, breaking the silence as Shinya completed the task of tidying his drum kit away.
"Oh, what is it?" Shinya asked, looking over to Die, hopefully. A silence passed between them. Somewhat uncomfortable, but finally broken once again.
"I'm seeing someone - She's called Emi and she's amazing Shin-Chan, I want you to meet her!" Die said, smiling quietly to himself.
"That's...that's brilliant Die," Shinya replied, forcing himself to be happy for his friend.
What he had really wanted to say, was something by far the opposite of what he had said. He wanted to hate Die for seeing someone, for loving someone other than him. And now Die wanted him to meet her...
He had to be happy for his friend; that was what he kept reminding himself as he walked home in the bitter cold and rain.
Why am I feeling so protective of him? Yes, he is my friend but I should feel able to let go of him, to let him be happy with another. And yet the mere thought of him being with someone, a woman, not me!
I hate the thought, I want him for myself, I want him to be happy with me, but he won't. I know we would be good together; we've been such good friends for a long time, and now this. The anger I feel right now is indescribable and yet there is a deep sense of sadness in the pit of my heart.
"Shin-Chan, what're you doing walking home in this rain? And all on your own as well!" someone calls after me. I turn and see that it is Die, though my eyes do not linger upon him for very long. "Shin-Chan, wait up!" he calls again. I slow down my pace so that he can catch up. "Hey there Shinya," he smiles, pulling his hood further over his partially wet red hair.
"Hi," I reply simply, still intent on getting home as quickly as I can. I want to be with him, and I still want to love him but I now feel unable to; because he has someone he thinks will love him.
"Is something the matter Shinya?" he asks, realizing something is not right.
"No, why would there be?" I'm almost to the point of tears now, and although my tone is relatively calm, I can feel that resolve quickly slipping away.
"You just seemed a little...off in practice today; and then you just stormed off after you'd put your drums away. It's just not like you Shinya," he stopped me, and looked me in the eye. I could see he was upset that I now seemed so distant from him, where once we had been the best of friends.
"I'm fine Die, I just need to get home." I replied; pulling away from the hold he had on my arm and continuing my journey back home.
I couldn't be around him anymore, not now, not when he wanted me to meet this woman he called 'girlfriend', 'lover'. Love, how could he love her? She was probably just a fan, someone who wanted his money, but he wanted her for other reasons; whatever they might be. That had to be it. There was no love, none at all.
It felt right now, like a part of me had been ripped away and there was no way that I could get it back; because there really wasn't. Many months ago, I had told him that I liked him, loved him and he simply replied we should keep it as friends; for the bands sake, and for our own sake.
I didn't care; I loved him and always have even although he rejected my feelings.
Today I had my heart broken, ripped into a million pieces like a paper heart, carelessly and heartlessly; and I am sure it shall never heal. I am sure I will never get over Andou Daisuke - I love him too much.

Justin Bieber's Grammy Snub Doesn't Make Him an 'Underdog'
It's a rough life, Justin Bieber. Between the babydaddy drama and puking onstage and the troubles with ladyfriend Selena Gomez, you've got to feel for the 18-year-old multimillionaire, right? Especially now that it seems those tough times are just getting tougher: Grammy nominations were announced last night, and Bieber didn't score a single nod. Not one measly mention! Even though his album Believe debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard charts in June and has sold more than two million copies!
Well, it's just an outrage, I tell you. No wonder the Biebs' manager, Scooter Braun, is shocked. Not to mention dismayed. And he wasted no time posting about his shock and dismay on Twitter. Cause Braun isn't just mad, he's tweetin' mad!!
This time there won't be any wise words, no excuses, I just plain DISAGREE. The kid deserved it. Grammy board u blew it on this one.
Yeah, Grammy board, U BLEW IT. Braun made his message pretty clear, I'd say. But he continued:
The hardest thing to do is transition, keep the train moving. The kid delivered. Huge successful album, sold out tour, and won people over ... this time he deserved to be recognized and I don't really have any kind nice positive things to say about a decision I don't agree with.
Okay, thanks for that! Totally hearin' ya, dude. But wait, there's more:
To his fans ... looks like we get to stay the underdog a little longer. Life is long, with many ups and downs, but we get to keep going, everyday brings a new opportunity. NOTHING GREAT EVER CAME EASY.
Waaaait a second. Wait just a second. UNDERDOG?! Justin Bieber is an underdog?!
I'm sorry, Scooter Braun, but you need to go out and buy yourself a dictionary, because in no way, shape, or form can any 18-year-old multimillionaire pop star be considered an underdog. Can we get a little perspective here, people?!
Do you think Justin Bieber deserved a Grammy nomination?

BluejaysDecember 6, 2012 at 11:14 PMYeah he still is a Underdog now but he did desved a nomination He sold 2 million album he sold out a entire tour in two hour he sold out MSG in thirty second for to show none of that has happen before they should be ashame them a hags that the nice way I can put it.

starandseenDecember 7, 2012 at 1:05 AMHe's still not respected by adults, let alone the Grammys, who are older. He's still a young swaggering kid with little girls as fans. At least young nominees like Taylor and Adele are respected by more than teenagers. And back then LeAnn Rimes was only 14 years old but was still respected by people twice her age.

Some knife throwers do not content themselves with searching through all stores for their perfect throwing knife, but go ahead and design their own. On this page, some of these homemade throwing knives will be presented.
Self made throwing knives
If you want to make your own, follow our instructions on how to build a throwing knife.
Kari Salonius from Finland. He works as a blacksmith and forges knives for friends in his free time. This piece is made out of Hardox, a metal that is often used for bulldozer scoop claws. It can`t be tempered but will not bend easily.
The knife is quite long (33cm) and heavy (400g), but the proportions are right, and the center of gravity is in the middle. About the ideal combination for longer distances. The edges are all rounded, as well as the end of the handle.
If you grip the handle, you naturally end up with your thumb coming to rest on the diamond-shaped swelling. The curved grip rests nicely in your palm. This could also be considered a disadvantage, as you can not vary your grip to accommodate for distance and personal preferences (especially the normal hammer grip with the thumb on the side is quite shaky here). The grip on the blade, which is very secure and full due to the curved blade, gives you full flexibility.
The blade is not sharp, of course. The knife has a thickness of 6mm and is getting thinner towards the tip, making it stick very well. The longish form of the tip also helps.
It is rather fun to throw this knife, with its good looks and flight characteristics.
In the follow-up version of the knife, Kari Salonius has changed an important point: The grip is not as wide, not curved any more but straight, and longer because the swelling moved two centimeters towards the tip. This now allows to grip the handle in a variety of different ways, giving more flexibility. A second swelling was added, but the so created valley can not be used as a rest for the thumb, as the finger will catch there on release.
Interestingly, the valley allows to throw the knife like a spear, just hold it there between index and middle finger with the thumb supporting the weight from below. Thrown properly, it will not turn but fly with the tip always facing the target. Not being designed for that spear style throw (in contrast to the Gyro Dart), it is hard to get much power in it, so that it will only stick in soft wood.
The new design throws very nicely, only the tip is not made flat enough to penetrate the target easily.
Kari Salonius wanted a throwing knife that is acceptable in historical reenactment groups, thus it looks very much like a mountain-man hunting knife. The handle consists on two leather-slabs glued to the steel, then additionally fixed with copper rivets. The rawhide was sewn on while wet. The edge has been quenched, so that the hard steel there can be sharpened for camping tasks, while the softer spine will prevent the knife from braking at impact on the target.
With a length of 29cm and a weight of 434g, the knife is definitely of the heavier variety. The steel is 6mm thick, but narrows down towards the blade, test throws proved that it sticks very well. The distance for one full turn was 1.85m. Being almost center-balanced, it can be thrown from the handle (recommended) and from the blade. Surprisingly, from the same distance you can use both grips! This is because the sharp blade requires a deep blade grip that slows down the rotation.
This is the first throwing knife I would say can be used both for throwing and for camping chores.
Because not everybody has an own forge, the knife is made from a rather soft sheeting with a thickness of 5mm. It is 28cm long, weighs 294g and has its center of gravity in the middle. The edges could be rounded, but do not disturb. If you grip it by the handle, the thumb comes to rest on the edge between handle and blade, the rounded grip end not hurting your palm. Because the handle is not curved, it does not snuggle to your hand like with the knife of Kari Salonius. On the other hand, this gives you absolute freedom to vary your grip, you can even slide up on the blade without a spiky swelling hindering you. The blade grip is perfect.
The knife does look rather angular, some roundings would improve it. Also the tip is not getting flat enough, making it harder to stick the knife.
All in all, this knife is something for the thrower who wants full control over his tool: he can vary his grip in many ways, and does not need too much force for throwing. The little drawbacks mentioned could be eliminated in a future version.
Instructions how to make this throwing knife
After being satisfied with the burning fire-fakas, the Fire Gladiator started on a new project, the Gladiator Blades. This time, he did not do much planning beforehand, just put his hands to work, he wrote:
"I just took some 5mm-scrap iron sheet, and worked on the shape for 5 hours straight. Than hardened the material, and took it for some test throws. Afterwards, it was ground into final shape. For showing off, I had my knives galvanised at a friends workshop, using copper and nickel, which resulted in a nice surface energy. Hence, my gladiator blades are rustproof.
The throwing knives have a weight of 250 grams and are 180mm long. I throw them with a hammer grip, and when going for a full turn, I stand in a distance of 3.80m to the target. When throwing the blades at my thick oak rounds, I have to use quite some pressure in the throw and use a very clear motion. But in normal planks or wooden target walls, my Gladiator throwing knives stick very good."
Sporty Greetings
Most makers of throwing knives, do produce just a few knives of every kind, for their own use and some throwing friends. Björn Williamsson from Sweden went further: After arriving at a throwing knife design he deemed perfect for his needs, he gave it a name, "Knifen" and started to sell it in his own online Knifen shop.
The throwing knife has a very elegant, high-quality look, with a tiny ornamental cross guard and skeleton holes in the end of the handle. The best thing is, despite its sharp looks, the blade does not cut! A ridge around ½mm wide has been left standing, so you won't accidentally cut your hand. Nonetheless, I prefer the blade grip with the blade pointing away from your palm. Thrown this way, I consistently stick the Knifen with ½ turn at 3.2m. With a handle grip, I stand at 2.75m for one full turn - closer than usual. The skeleton holes help in having a consistent grip for the handle throw, you just have to take some care that they don't catch in your hand on release. Even with the slight curve on the handle the Knifen is also suited for no-spin throws. Altogether, I really like to use it for blade throws.
Technical details: The throwing knife is 26.5cm long, being rather light for this - 164g. It is balanced nicely. The steel is not stainless.
Werner Lengmüller from Germany does not only throw very well (five medals at the 2013 Championship), but also makes throwing knives. This here is a model based on the Branton-Emerson Tactical Thrower (designed in 2007 by Bobby Branton and Ernest Emerson).
Specifications: Steel 1064 (SAE), 5mm thick, hardened to around 55 Rockwell, not stainless, handle carbon 5.3mm (fixed with double-faced adhesive tape and barrel bolts 5mm x 10mm).
This knife is entirely handmade. I started with the idea to make a throwing knife unlike others, with saw teeth in it.
As material, I used plain iron, 4mm thick, 3cm wide and 22cm long. After transfering my technical drawing to the iron, I defined the shape with a small angle grinder. Then I added holes in the handle and in the blade, which I extended to form the saw teeth.
Tempering was accomplished by putting the knife in coal, heating it until it glows, then dipping it in old oil, and putting it back into the coal (covered in glass wool), to let it cool down.
After some surface polishing came out this nice throwing knife. Because of the teeth, it can only be thrown from the handle. My preferred distance is around 4-5m.
David Bačnar, Croatia
I make my knives from Mild Steel (low carbon) sheet. They are 35.5cm long, 6mm thick and around 255g heavy, the center of gravity is nearly in the center. The blanks are laser cut to size and then I do some work on the point end and generally clean off any burrs. When they are up to that stage, and I am certain that no more metal needs removing they then go for heat treatment whereby they are heated in a salts bath to cherry red, and the carbon soaks into the red hot steel. When a millimeter depth of carbon is introduced (this takes a set time), the blades are quenched in oil until completely cool. The blades are then glass-hard on the surface to a millimeter depth, with a soft core. This prevents burrs from kicking up on the blade. Finally they are sand papered clean, and I fit my stick-on handles (those are rubber-stickers I just have to peel off the paper, I have them made at a sticker company).
The throwing knives' shape is the one that suits my throwing style best. That is No/-Quarter-/Halfspin throws! The shape allows easy sliding from the hand, both from the blade and the handle. The small hilt is cosmetic, and makes the knife more "daggery".Roy
No-Spin knife throwing notes
A short note on Roy's special throwing style: He strives to reduce the rotation of his knives nearly to zero. There is no arch in his throw, he pushes the knife to the target similarly to the movement you would use to throw a very heavy ball (shotput in sports). The index finger rests on the spine of the knife, and it pushes down on it when the knife has halfway left the hand, to reduce the spin. With years of practice, Roy can throw no-spins from 5m and further.Articles for further reading:

(AP) — Steve Sullivan's return to New Jersey earlier this month didn't give the Devils the energy and scoring punch they were looking for in their failed bid for a playoff berth. "Of course, we knew we were in a dogfight to make the playoffs and it was going to be tough, but we thought we had a chance," Sullivan said. Two days after being eliminated from postseason contention,... Web URL: http://washingtonexaminer.com/article/feed/2092130 Share this article on Facebook or Twitter Print this article

Translation is UX
We—the people who make websites—now study almost every aspect of our trade, from content and usability to art direction and typography. Our attention to detail has never been greater as we strive to provide the best possible experience. Yet many users still experience products that lack personality or are difficult to understand. They are users of a translated version. While good localization boosts conversion rates, bad or partial translation may ruin a user experience, giving people an uneasy feeling about the whole company. If we care equally about all our users, it's time we start thinking of translation as something slightly more complex than a word-to-word job. Antoine Lefeuvre shares why translation matters, and what it takes to get it right.

Fairy's Foot Fixation 5 - TextIt was a wonderful morning for the fairy, Navi. Spending her night (and morning) at Saria's feet was an absolute pleasure for the both of them; kissing Saria's slightly dirty soles, taking in the gentle leafy scent of her toes, and even having a little lick of her soles, which made her giggle with delight. For a moment, Navi, as she lay on the bed, contemplated going all out on Saria's lovely soles, pressing her face in and licking her soles with all her passion until they were wet and dripping, much like with Zelda that one night when her foot fixation blossomed, but she decided not to do so...

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (AP) -- An Indiana man has been sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole for bludgeoning and dismembering a 9-year-old girl, then hiding her head, hands and feet in his freezer.
Prosecutors dropped their bid for the death penalty last month when Michael Plumadore pleaded guilty to murder and other charges in the Dec. 22 death of Aliahna Maroney-Lemmon. A judge accepted the plea Monday and added 36 years to the life sentence.
Guilty plea in Indiana girl's death, dismemberment
Aliahna's relatives described 39-year-old Plumadore as a family friend who had helped care for the girl's dying grandfather. He was babysitting Aliahna and her 6-year-old sisters because their mother was sick. The other girls weren't harmed.
Police: Neighbor chopped up Ind. girl with hacksaw
Plumadore told authorities he repeatedly hit Aliahna in the head with a brick and cut her up with a hacksaw.

Find & share great dishes, not just restaurants.
Find whatever you're craving, see what's good at any restaurant and learn what foodspotters, friends and experts love wherever you go.
Always had a penchant for taking pictures of food; nowadays, only with my cellphone. I'm usually on the hunt for chocolate or anything coconut- or lemon-related.
The lepinja bread was absolutely delicious! Same with the hummus!
Fried oysters, spinach, hollandaise sauce and a white wine cheese sauce pizza!
Homemade shrimp patties, sliced tomato, shredded lettuce on baby brioche buns! Yum!
Very delicious! Large enough to be shared between two people!
Tasty! Got it for free because they recently opened :)
I was told this was made when they were on 'Cupcake Wars'. I think it was a banana cupcake with sweet potato filling and a butternut squash buttercream on top. It was honestly perfect!
Heavenly! The tartlet was light and the ice cream was creamy and not too sweet
Delicious! Would've happily dined on nothing but that for my meal
Japanese fried chicken with tempura corn! Good snack to share!
Vanilla cake mixed with fresh lime juice and lime zest; filled with a keylime pie filling and topped with a lime cream cheese frosting! Delicious!
Strawberry and pineapple drink! There are little bits of strawberry in this drink. You can order boba with the drink but this time I didn't. Yummy!
Stir fried squid & pork w/ vegetables & bean curd! It was pretty good
Stir fried tofu & vegetables on a sizzling plate! Not bad :)
One of the signature dishes: chicken breast encrusted in plantains and pan-sautéed with a raspberry chipotle sauce. It was tasty with the sauce!
Marinated Gulf snapper filet pieces in lime juice and chef's spices, topped with avocado! Very delicious!

injury or disease of the brain (concussion, lesion, stroke, etc.)That's just off the top of my head and I'm sure I'm missing some. As you can see, there are a lot of things that could be going on when you say someone is "reckless"! To make it even more complicated, none of these conditions happen in a vacuum, they often go together. For example, someone could have ADHD that made them vulnerable to social exclusion and bullying, which contributed to social anxiety and poor social skills. They self-medicate their ADHD and social anxiety with daily weed which makes their attention issues worse. They get fired from one job after another and become depressed. So some problems contribute to other problems, or make other problems worse. If you don't treat the underlying cause(s), the problem can't be completely solved, no matter how hard you work at it. That's where professionals come in.
injury or illness of the body that affects the mental state (hypoglycemia, hyperthyroidism, etc.)
mood disorders (depression, bipolar, variants of those)
personality disorders (notably borderline personality disorder, which is treatable)
learning disabilities and developmental disorders (ADHD and others)
developmental or intellectual disabilities

SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) -- Spokane leaders have announced a refinancing package to fix streets and renovate Riverfront Park likely to go before voters in November.
Mayor David Condon and Council President Ben Stuckart said Monday the tax measures won't cost taxpayers more than they're already paying.
Other media outlets report the key to the plan is using new money to retire old debt while taking advantage of more favorable interest rates and a long-term property tax levy.
If approved by voters, Condon said it would create about $60 million to renovate Riverfront Park and $25 million a year for Spokane's streets.
The City Council will decide whether to send the plan to voters.

SAN DIEGO, Calif. -- For the 10th time in 11 years, California Baptist University is bound for the postseason. There is a different feel this time around, as the Lancers are playing in the NCAA for the first time.
CBU's inaugural trip into the NCAA Division II postseason begins at the West Regional Tournament, which is hosted by UC San Diego Thursday through Saturday with the championship round being played out Monday. The Lancers earned the third seed out of the six-team field after finishing the regular season with a 37-13 record and a 20-12 trek through the PacWest which earned it a share of second place in the conference.
West Regional action will open with California Baptist University Thursday when it takes on No. 4 Cal Poly Pomona (32-15) at 11 a.m. In the most recent Division II rankings, CBU is tabbed 16th and Cal Poly Pomona is outside the top 30 but receiving votes.
The Lancers and Broncos split a pair of games at Totman Stadium on March 22nd, with CBU taking the opener 5-3 and Cal Poly rebounding for a 15-4 victory.
The winner will move on to face the victor of Thursday's 3 p.m. game between No. 2 Chico State (39-13) and fifth-seeded Dixie State (35-15) Friday at 7 p.m. The loser will face the winner of Thursday's 7 p.m. finale between top-seeded host UC San Diego (35-14) and No. 6 Sonoma State (27-16) at 3 p.m. Friday.

The Honors Residential Scholars Community is a living learning community that gives Honors students the opportunity to take classes, participate in social activities, and live with other Honors students who share an interest in academic and professional issues. The community is open to qualified students of all academic majors who have been admitted to the Honors Program at the University of Nevada, Reno.
The Honors Residential Scholars Program is designed to provide educational and social opportunities, to promote engagement in the academic experience, and to encourage personal growth by offering a variety of opportunities and services to achieve a scholar's full potential.
Specifically designed residential learning communities are available to a limited number of Honors Program students who live in the designated Honors floor of the newest residential hall on campus, the Living-Learning Community (pictured above) and pursue the same curriculum of studies. As a participant, the Honors Residential Scholar will enroll in a cluster of Honors courses: Students must agree to take three Honors classes in the fall semester, one of which must be HON 200B, and two Honors courses in the spring semester which follows. The Honors Residential Scholar will complete a number of Core Requirements through the courses included in the Community.
The Honors Residential Scholars Community offers students the opportunity to develop strong friendships with other Honors students while fostering an academically enriching living environment. The student will participate in common activities and projects, interact and collaborate with faculty in and out of class, and enjoy a challenging educational experience.
Research shows that a contributing factor to quality undergraduate education is the powerful residential life experience that can be created by living learning communities. The Honors Residential Scholars Community allows for greater bonding among students, between students and faculty, and between students and the institution.
All Honors Residential Scholars agree to enroll in three Honors courses in the fall semester, one of which must be HON 200B, and two additional Honors courses in the following spring semester.
If you are interested in participating in the Honors Residential Scholars Community, complete the Residential Life online application as soon as possible. Space is limited, so apply early. Please refer to the rates schedule for room and board rates. Other than room and board, there is no additional cost to enroll in the Honors Living Learning Communities.

They are coming...
But, before they run us over, I have a question:
...the Los Angeles Times has reported that Mr. Snowden originally smuggled electronic files out of the National Security Agency in Hawaii using a USB thumb drive.
How can this be true?
How can the NSA purchase computers with USB ports in them? I mean, seriously? The first thing I would imagine is that they have no optical drive capable of recording, and no standard USB ports. If I were them I would have a custom interface for keyboard and mouse, perhaps an old-school PS/2 port, for desktops. Nothing for laptops.
Likewise, no radio. Not even bluetooth.
This can't be right. It's too obvious.

Not sure what else I need to say...they are hands down the best sushi restaurant in New Orleans. And they deliver. If you are looking for a fancy atmosphere this isnt the place. If you are looking for fantasic food, it is.
Sushi is 1st class. Quaint little restaurant. Very attentive staff sushi is 5 star. Very diverse with both raw and cooked elections .
The food is fresh and they have a lot of specialty rolls. It is near the Rock N Bowl, which has premier acts almost every nights.
Wonderful food. Had a great experience and staff was very friendly. The outside of the place doesn't look like much at all but it's very cozy inside.
They are so good, well priced and do delivery too! Can't be beat! Try the tempura rolls. Service is always fast and the food never disappoints.
Make sure you sit at the Hibachi Grill and you will enjoy great entertainment while dining. The service is face and the staff is super sweet. Get the Crescent City Roll.
Every time I take someone to Mikimoto's for the first time they are so annoying about the area, but I've never had a bad experience around there. Every time we go here we either park in their lot or a block away. They have a security guard for crying out loud.
That said, I go to Mikimoto's A LOT. It...
We're blessed with many sushi options in New Orleans, and for the most part they're neighborhood joints. Hana and Ninja cater to the Tulane crowd, Little Tokyo for mid-city, Kyoto and Sake for the uptown crowd, Sushi Bros in the lower garden, Rock'n'Sake in the warehouse, etc, etc, etc.
Mikimoto is a departure from this tried-and-tested formula. A sushi joint...
The best part of Mikomoto's is the Noodle Salad that they bring out to you before your sushi. The best roll is the Diane Roll. Its Spicy Tuna, Cream Cheese, and Asparagus. Oooo its good!
imaginative menu, friendly staff, i wish i was there now...

What to do?
What do you do when the greatest threat to civalisation hits? What is it you ask??? Boredum.
Todays not been the best day, feel off a table and concussed myself kind of badly so ive been on-and-off all today but still boredum struck!
So whats the best way to get past it? Heres a thought, realise your in a college and go mental! It works wounders, even if you get the oddest looks in the world.
Failing that try old BBC comedies, like Red Dwarf and BlackAdder. You never know what youll find till you open your eyes!

Tradition meets innovation in the Tri-Tronics Trashbreaker G3 EXP with Tracer E-Collar Light. Both the transmitter and receiver are virtually indestructible as they are 100% waterproof and constructed with Lexan plastic, the same material that is used to make sports helmets and bullet-proof windows. The 2-mile consistent range is the longest on the market, great for keeping long range pointers and hounds in check with 6 levels of continuous stimulation. The white Tracer light built right into the receiver is visible at night from a mile away on flat terrain with short cover. Feel confident spending all day or night hunting or training, as the NiMH batteries on the transmitter and receiver have a 40-60 hour life per charge and charge to full capacity in only 2 hours.
- Can be expanded to control up to six dogs, with simple dog selection on the three way toggle switch. The toggle switch is up for controlling the button colored collars, down to control the ring (around the button) colored collars. The unit comes with the black collar, therefore the toggle should be up in the black position for one dog control.
- The buttons are easy to press even with gloves on and deliver only continuous stimulation.
- The dial at the top of the unit controls the continuous stimulation intensity at levels 1-6.
- When the dial is set to A you can operate your Tracer Light with any of the stimulation buttons. The A Button can also be synced with the G3 Upland Beeper. The dial also has a T selection for tone only without stimulation.
- Built-in 2 ½ inch antenna also constructed of Lexan, no bending or breaking.
- Rubberized no-slip coating, making it easy to handle.
- Battery charge indicator light.
- No modes to program, all functionality comes factory set! When adding one to five more dogs, you simply have to sync the new EXP collar to the transmitter.
- User replaceable battery, total battery life 3-5 years.
Receiver Collar:
- On/off push button.
- Built-in high visibility Tracer light that surrounds the entire receiver box.
- Dual function light showing battery charge or if buttons are pressed.
- Long or short contact points for the dogs coat length.
- ¾ inch wide and 26 inch long black collar strap included.
- Internal antenna.
- User replaceable battery, total battery life 3-5 years.

David Moyes says any demonstrations of dissent by the Manchester United fans will only strengthen his resolve to succeed.
A group of disgruntled United fans have clubbed together £840 to pay for a banner reading 'Wrong One - Moyes Out' to be flown above Old Trafford in the build-up to United's lunch-time kick-off against Aston Villa.The message mocks a banner in the Stretford End which proclaims Moyes as 'The Chosen One' - a reference to the fact that Sir Alex Ferguson hand-picked Moyes to be his successor last summer.The saga took another twist on Friday after it emerged that another banner, trailed from a different plane, will be flown over the stadium at the same time.Reports indicate that a high-street bookmaker is behind the second banner.The bookmaker is refusing to reveal the message their plane will drag across the skies, but it is understood to not be favourable towards Moyes.If those fans who paid for the fly-by thought their stunt would push Moyes towards resignation, they were wrong."All it has done is strengthened my resolve to get the job done right," a defiant United manager said at his pre-match press conference on Friday."I'm more driven to succeed than ever."I want to change the position we're in just now. I really do believe we can do that."Moyes refused the opportunity to criticise the fans who have planned the 'Moyes Out' stunt."I've heard of it and what they're saying about it," he said."It's a long journey here and this is just the start of the journey."

Planning for Senior Week has been taking place all year long. The planning committee was comprised of students from both the junior and senior classes. This year, the organizers made an effort to get "more juniors involved on the committee so they can take over next year," according to Hoffman.
Seniors can purchase wristbands for Senior Week, the cost of which includes admission to all the events, food and drink specials, and transportation to and from each location. Hoffman said they have sold over 300 wristbands thus far, and hope to sell at least 400 by Senior Week. Wristbands can be purchased in the SAC office for $70 any time until May 22.
Although seniors can participate in the events without the wristband, Hoffman reminds students that they will need to pay their own way. "You must have a wristband to ride the buses," Hoffman said. "It will be enforced!"
Senior Week kicks off on Tuesday, May 23, with a trip to Treasure Island Casino. There will be a private room at the casino with both food and games provided in addition to the traditional gambling fare.
Wednesday will be filled with a number of local events, including an ice cream social with President Thomforde, a faculty and staff talent show, and buses to Dawns (formerly Brads) Corner Bar in Dundas. Derek Attema 06, a member of the planning committee, assured students that there would be plenty of "acts worth seeing" in the talent show. In addition, photographs are still being accepted for the senior slideshow that will be shown after the talent show. Submissions must be sent as soon as possible to email@example.com.
On Thursday, there will be a trip to the Water Park of America. That evening the Johnny Holm Band, a local cover band, will play at the Grand.
Official Senior Week celebrations finish on Friday evening with a tailgating meal and a St. Paul Saints baseball game. After the game, buses will head to the 7 Corners area in downtown Minneapolis. The planning committee has been working with the area bars to organize specials for those wearing wristbands. On campus, the St. Olaf Orchestra will perform that evening.
Overall, Hoffman stressed that the goal of the week has been "to create events both on and off campus that the entire senior class can enjoy together."
Saturday is filled with various pre-graduation activities for seniors and their families, including a 5K race in the morning, as well as the Last Lecture, Presidents Presentations and formal banquet that evening. The St. Olaf Band will perform in the afternoon and the St. Olaf Choir will give a concert that evening.
During brunch on Sunday, each academic department will host individual receptions for the class of 2006 and their families. The culminating event, commencement itself, will take place on Sunday afternoon. This years address will be given by 2003 Nobel Laureate and Northfield native Dr. Peter Agre. Agre, who grew up on the edge of St. Olafs campus, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his discovery of water channels in cell membranes.

Nothing is harder than letting go,
of whispered promises, I love you so.
Nothing stings more than bitter scorn,
Pricked by ardent rose's fickle thorn.
Nothing bleeds more than regret,
Hearts forgive, but never forget.
Nothing is more painful than lies,
Murdered love fades, arduously dies.
Nothing is harder than holding on,
love is extinct, unretrievably gone.
Nothing is as dismal than a broken dream,
Mournful casualty of love's self-esteem.
Nothing is more raw than the truth,
Savored prickle of gin and vermouth.
Nothing aches more than self-hate,
Drowning in the hellish guilt ridden state.
Nothing is more difficult than to forgive one's self
To survive, removing a jarred heart from a shelf.
Nothing cuts deeper than betrayal,
to think that at love, you totally fail.
Nothing can stop you from saying hello,
when the next one says I love you so.
Nothing is harder than letting yourself cry,
To say hello, just to say good-bye

I spy with my little eye: PIG BLOOD DRAINING INTO A RIVER! »
Do you know what this is? It's PIG BLOOD in the Trinity River in Dallas, Texas. Pig blood from a slaughterhouse/meatpacking plant that is draining INTO the RIVER! Do your eyes and heart feel assaulted? I know mine do!
According to Consumerist, "an amateur drone pilot in Texas was flying a simple rig with a point and shoot camera attached for fun" when he noticed something amiss in a creek. FUN OVER. He notified the county, and a Department of Human Services investigation concluded that the discoloration WAS RAW PIG BLOOD! From an illegally placed pipe leading into the RIVER! Oh humanity, you get me every time! The government will not comment on what kind of legal action is in store for the perpetrator.
Actually my faith in humanity was somewhat restored after I read the comments from this article. Usually when it comes to these kinds of stories, the comments section makes me want to throw myself out a window.
[Picture via Consumerist. I definitely did not photoshop it, as I have no idea how to do that!]

There is no electricity in the village. That means there are no refrigerators. So even when people here are able to buy vegetables, the only ones that make it to this remote backwater are preserved. Youssouf's mother keeps the dried vegetables on a pot lid, stored behind a curtain. Each week, the little boy is allowed a few tiny pieces, like a treat.
Malnutrition and disease are intertwined, with lack of food leading to a weakened immune system and illness. Youssouf's older brother wasted away and is buried in the village cemetery, which mostly holds the tiny graves of malnourished toddlers. Youssouf himself was so weak that he almost died from a fever at around 8 months old. Mahamat was sick too. So was Nasruddin. Achta barely made it.

That they didn't die is a victory for their families. They are the ones that slipped through the noose of malnutrition, but at what cost?
Under the microscope, the permanent damage done to the brain is unmistakable. In an often-cited survey done in Chile, researchers compared brain cells from healthy and malnourished babies. A brain cell from a healthy child looks like a tree in bloom. The one from a stunted infant looks like a tree in winter.
The branches are the synapses, which connect one brain cell to another. Simply put, the brain cells of a malnourished child are less able to communicate with each other. Researchers have found that height in childhood is directly related to success in adulthood, with a 1 percent loss in height due to stunting leading to a 1.4 percent loss in productivity, according to the Asia Pacific Journal of Clinical Nutrition. The children in this first-grade class are on average 4.3 inches shorter than they should be.
Guidigui says that he sees the effects of stunting every day, an hour into the school day. The kids, he says, are not there anymore. They stare through him. They use their fingers to trace the ridges in their desks. They play with their clothing. He says he often feels like giving up.
Late one morning, he lets the class out for recess at 11 a.m. Then he sits, splayed out on one of the bunks. A few minutes later, he steps outside and announces that school is dismissed. "There's no point," he says.
In Chad and several other countries in Africa's hunger belt, the United Nations' World Food Programme has tried to address the problem by sponsoring school canteens, offering a free lunch. In Louri, enrollment ballooned as families signed up their kids, says school director Wardougou.
But for Achta and her friends, it's most likely too late. It's the first 1,000 days of life, through the age of 2, that are critical. Even if a child gets more food later in life, the damage cannot be reversed.
At Elementary School No. 1, the star pupil is a girl called Fatme. She throws her hand up to answer each question. The teacher has stopped calling on her in an effort to get the other students to participate.
She only gets to show off when no one else in the class is able to answer, like during a math lesson.
The teacher writes the following problem on the board: 1 + 1 (equals) ——.
"Anyone?" he says. When no one else volunteers, he finally calls on Fatme.
The lanky girl walks to the front of the class and takes the chalk from her teacher's hand.
"Sir," she says. "The answer is one plus one. That equals two." She carefully writes the number two on the board.
"Correct," says Guidigui.
The only problem is, Fatme isn't 7. Fatme is 15 years old.

I simply powered the board from a LM7805 attached to the same DC power supply the motor controller was attached to. Then I ran the the analog outputs into a quad op amp, which was powred with rail voltages provided by a LM7812 and LM7912. The first two op amps were simply used as buffers, while a third was wired as a summing amplifier with a gain of 3 (so I could use the controller's 10v range).
I guess it's true...enough Op Amps can fix any problem.
