text: Unto Lady Catalina, Because of your wonderful Latino/circus-dwarf lineage, you of all the little people should know in your heart-of-hearts that I speak only truths and near-truths. I do remember HE Elisabeth and I having a certain therapy session with you during one of our many event day-trips together. You confided in us that the previous day you had stepped in dog-poo while wearing your brand new Yellow Box shoes. Since you were still wearing the same shoes, you were worried that the poo and shoes would clash, and people at the event would think less of you. HE Elisabeth and I did not want to say anything at the time, but we could tell by your Latino/circus-dwarf sigh of relief that a huge burden had been lifted from your shoulders when we assured you that everything would be ok and no one at the event would notice. Please do not misunderstand what I'm about to say because you know full well that HE Elisabeth and I think only good thoughts when we think about your beautiful Yellow Box shoes, but due to your delicate mental condition at the time, we decided not to tell you why we later stopped mid-way to the event and released you from the truck. I feel you have now progressed mentally enough to know the truth. We released you from the truck hoping you would take that opportunity to clean your shoes, instead, you walked straight into the 7-11 and bought a Slurpee! HE Elisabeth and I could take no more! We made you ride the rest of the way to the event in the bed of the truck because the sweet tangy bouquet of miniature schnauzer poo and Yellow Box shoe polish was clashing just enough with HE Elisabeth's new Gym-Lips perfume to make things a bit touchy in the truck! As your Baron I feel it is once again time to carry your cross for you. Lady Catalina, I think what you really wanted to ask me is, "Master, I have once again stepped in poo and soiled my shoe and need advice from a guy like you?" Since you apparently failed to followed our previous advice concerning poo and shoes, I am now concerned that your fantastic Yellow Box shoes will lose their identity. In conclusion; the answer to your question is, "Yes, it is now time to WEAR YOUR BOOTS!" Give our love to that guy you've been hanging around with. Sincerely, HE Santiago -----Original Message----- From: bordermarch-bounces+david.lathrop=valero.com at lists.ansteorra.org [mailto:bordermarch-bounces+david.lathrop=valero.com at lists.ansteorra.org] On Behalf Of Jayna Calhoun Sent: Thursday, September 30, 2010 11:00 AM To: Barony Bordermarch Subject: Re: [Bordermarch] Parangaricutirimicuaro vermicelli Should we wear boots Your Excellency?

The cork strakes used in medieval wheels were thought to have been first used by the Spanish Inquisitive during the Reformation. One of the major hurdles they had to overcome was the problem of keeping the strakes attached to the felloes. They arrived at the perfect solution when Cortez returned to Spain from one of his trips to Mexico. He had with him a very large egg! It seems that while Cortez was scouting the coast of Mexico he spotted a large flightless bird running back and forth between the beach-line and the jungle forest. The crew he deployed to capture the bird tracked it many miles inland into the jungle before successfully netting the large bird. Upon return to the ship, the crew's leader reported to Cortez that they had surprised the bird while it was nesting in a shallow cave at the base of a volcano. Although Cortez took great care to see that his prize bird was given all the best, it did not fare well during the long sea voyage back to Portugal. The large bird did lay one egg while in captivity; Cortez prized this egg more than anything else! Cortez gifted the egg to the Queen of Spain, who in turn gave it to the head cook in the kitchen. She insisted he make something extraordinary with the one-of-a-kind egg for the upcoming holiday celebration. Of course the rest of the story is well known; The head cook decided to scramble the egg, but in the process accidentally invented the omelet. What is a lesser known fact is that when the cook cracked open the egg some of its egg white spilled into a nearby pot of boiling water. As soon as the egg white hit the hot water it began settling into long skinny strands at the bottom of the pot. When the cook removed the egg strands from the pot he found them to be quite tasty...VOILA! vermicelli was invented. The cook was about to discard the water that the egg had fallen into but decided instead to test its use as a glue. He found the egg water had tremendous adhesive properties when it was left to boil down into a thick paste. When the Inquisitive heard of the new glue they immediately applied some to the cork strakes on their buggy wheels. The egg glue kept the cork in place even under the most extreme conditions. The Inquisitors were so pleased with the glue they named it Parangaricutirimicuaro vermicelli after the homeland of the big bird and the egg noodle that the cook had invented. HE Santiago Don't forget about populace tonight! _______________________________________________ Bordermarch mailing list Bordermarch at lists.ansteorra.org http://lists.ansteorra.org/listinfo.cgi/bordermarch-ansteorra.org _______________________________________________ Bordermarch mailing list Bordermarch at lists.ansteorra.org http://lists.ansteorra.org/listinfo.cgi/bordermarch-ansteorra.org

This one is so weirdly conspiratorial.
So I've never read a shehulk comic in my life but can someone explain to me why shehulk is all sexy and shit while the hulk is the fucking hulk?
Something to do with Jens exposure through blood transfusion as apposed to direct exposure to the hulk serum from what I remember.
Shouldn't she have bigger legs?
She's frequently drawn more muscularly (http://images5.fanpop.com/image/photos/28900000/Rogue-vs-She-Hulk-rogue-28983025-582-666.jpg) but the She-Hulk #26 cover was by Greg Land, and this is how he draws women. He actually draws from photo reference, but his photo ref seems to exclusively be lingerie models.
After much looking into what is going on here, this girl charging $7 for her '10DC' and it being dangerous I thought I'd try to get a little bit of info from the girl herself.
I then asked:
"I have no idea why you are getting so defensive, I was just after some insight. I have seen your 10DC and for the first day the intake is almost normal, but with exercise the intake is too low. I'm just wondering why you don't explain the fact that the main part of such a fast loss is water weight loss? Not to mention the fact that the intake is too low and could even cause muscle loss? What you are advising is dangerous and it baffles me that you can't see that. "
I haven't heard anything back yet.
reblog the shit out of this. this f0rever—in—paradise girl refuses to acknowledge that her "plans" are potentially harmful. and she's even charging for them! judging by her page, it seems like a LOT of people are using her for "diet" advice. i shudder to think of all the young girls who don't know any better falling victim to this. working out for hours on 1200 calories a day… we should all at least take the time to shed some negative light on this girl. she needs a reality check.
What this wonderful lady just said.
This girl thinks she's untouchable. Just everyone be aware her plans are actually harmful. Spread this sh*t like wildfire!
(via weaponxvii)
It's impressive how this young woman was able to redirect some of the fat from her thighs onto her chest.
rofl. yesss. i'm so grouchy when i'm hungry.
Unless they roll away, which mine do sometimes…
So I've never read a shehulk comic in my life but can someone explain to me why shehulk is all sexy and shit while the hulk is the fucking hulk?

Press Release: April 7th, 2011 Vancouver, BC
Cause driven platforms for cause driven people.
We are pleased to formally introduce the evolution of Pinc Giving: Global Currents. The name change ushers in a new suite of donation solutions for non profits of all sizes, a renewed commitment to our clients and industry leading innovation in a new peer driven fund raising system.
If you are a regular on our site, or this is your first time here - welcome. We've been working behind the scenes for over 6 months now, transitioning the company from Pinc Giving to what you see today - the hub for non profit giving solutions.
Why the change?
Pinc was born five years ago as a single site where people could easily and safely donate to causes that mattered to them. The company quickly grew to provide the free 'Donate Now' button, the charity gift cards and our API. While at the core, they all still exist, we've risen to the challenge of developing new and innovative technologies to meet the complex, ever-growing needs of our client partners. We needed a new organizational structure, brand and ultimately a new company to support this growth. The heart of the company remains the same, while our reach has grown tremendously. For more on why we were founded in the first place - click here to read our story.
New innovations!
Our vision remains to be an innovative leader in developing and providing cost-effective online donation platforms of all sizes. To this end, we've revamped our original Donate Now product and introduced two amazing new products to the suite. Our Pier to Peer product is truly revolutionary, and our branded donation pages are a great way for organizations to leverage their unique branding embedded on a donation form.
Poke around on the site and be sure to give us a call with any questions. We are so thrilled to be able to usher in a new wave of giving and want you to be a part of it.
Press Release: April 7th, 2011 Vancouver, BC
The internet is all a flicker today with the launch of Jumo, Facebook founder, Chris Hughes' social network for social change. Both social media mavens Beth Kanter and Amy Sample Ward have shared their first impressions; one questioning, the other almost dismissive of this 'new' social change platform.
The thought behind creating Jumo was to tap into advocates in our not for profit sector and create a networking site exclusive to engagement; be it following an individual, an organization, a cause, to donating, to stewardship.
Now I am not a technical expert, nor developer extraordinaire so will refrain from speaking about all the glitches in Jumo beta, 500 according to Beth; even in my short time playing with the platform one in three clicks resulted in an error message.
So like every other interested online social advocate, I created an account and I have to wonder why we need another social networking site for charities and the not for profit sector. And I am not sure organizations who are already pressed for time and resources, will want to add 'one more thing' to their social media plate. Never mind the fact you have to be in bed with Facebook to even create an account on Jumo. Although, it does automatically follow anyone you have as a friend in Facebook who also has an account set up in Jumo. That is a nice feature and time saver from having to go through and find, follow those you already do on Facebook.
When I signed up this is what I received in my inbox:
Thanks for joining Jumo, the social network for the social sector.
Jumo helps you:
*Find the issues and projects you care about.
*Follow the latest news and updates.
*Support their work with your time, money and skills.
Now, we do have Google to help us search for issues and projects we care about. We also have our friends who send us news links and updates, or the organizations themselves who we've given permission to send us information and updates. Those same friends and organizations also ask us through pledge pages, emails, direct marketing campaigns for our time, money and skills. Does having a Jumo account really change that, or make any of those asks, communications, updates easier?
Being an online fundraising advocate, one thing that does bother me is that a large percentage of my donation goes to Jumo and of course, Network for Good. When I say 'large' I mean 15% to Jumo and 5% to NFG. As a not for profit, or as a donor, do I really want a free auto populate social networking platform to cost me 20% of my donations? Ummm no…
In the competitive world of charity, we are trying so hard to educate our not for profits to get online and we want to make it as easy as possible. Adding yet another social networking platform even if it is specifically for this sector is just redundant and another make work project for our summer interns. In the not for profit technology sector, this could very well change given enough time and adoption. One never knows…that $2.5 million Jumo raised to build it's platform is pretty impressive.
In the meantime, here at Global Currents, we will keep having conversations with organizations who are merely trying to wrap their heads around online donations and how to leverage the ever growing ever mighty donor dollar online.
I recognize that is a bold statement and depending on which way you took it, you may feel it was either too aggressive or slightly inviting…
Your charity is unique, your options should be too. At Global Currents, you get three effective and affordable ways to engage donors, inspire action and capture donations online.
One Button Remixed Three Ways.
The Free Gateway: because there is no such thing as a small charity
Every charity, regardless of size should have access to the same tools that larger non profits do. This is why the PINC Donation Gateway was created and this is why it remains the best option for any non profit. We take your logo, your slogan and create for you a simple, elegant gateway for donations. You simply place our button on your site, donors click the link and are taken to our secure donation form.
The Gateway Plus: simple, effective and affordable donation processing
This is the perfect middle ground for non profits wanting to offload the security and development costs associated with a more custom API solution; but still achieve the organizations complete branding, look, feel. We replicate the page of your choosing, insert our donation form in it and host it on our secure site. All the 'heavy lifting' is done by us, you receive the benefit of a branded donation gateway without the need to host on your own site.
The Custom API: fully integrated, completely customizable and still totally affordable
If you need something more specific and a little more tailored to your non profits needs this is the option for you. It takes very little to set up, and beautifully integrates with your website. You take care of the SSL certification, plunk in our code and away you go. You still get full access to the PINC Back End but are able to totally customize the form however you'd like.
- Easy and free campaign creation
- 14 Currency Options
- Regular monthly partners & donors
- Instant reporting / access
- Anonymous donation options
- Giving 'in memory' or 'in honor'
- Donors can cover transaction costs
- Flat fee for transactions
- Ready and willing support staff
So go ahead, press my button and increase your online donations this big give season…I dare you!
Who we are is more important than what we do at Global Currents, but what we do at Global Currents is intimately tied to who we are and what we believe. Everyday we get to spend time with change makers - people who are passionate about making their 'corner of the world' a better place. After every meeting, every conversation, we emerge more dedicated to developing the tools they need to help them on their journey. We would love to do this for you.
Global Currents is the parent company under which Pinc Giving, Life On Purpose Network , Give Cubed and our other IT platforms are housed. We are more than a donate now button, more than a development company. Our success is intimately tied with your success. Our products indeed are part of who we are, and we believe them to be some of the best in the industry. This is not a sales pitch. Part of our story is below. We'd love to hear yours.
Global Currents & Pinc Giving were created as a living legacy to Sophia; daughter and third child of Bev Pomeroy, the founder and CEO. Sophia was born in the summer of 2000 with a disease so rare there has yet to be a name. Every organ and system in her body is compromised, her life limited and her daily struggles very, very real for her and her family. After several years, Bev decided to take her passion for global change and her desire to find a purpose in the tragedy her family faced, and find a solution to some of the issues she was hearing within her own supportive not for profit community.
From this, Pinc Giving was born. After a few short years, PINC completed the development of the platform known as the PINC Button. From this, a fully customize-able 'Donate Now' API was created, a few other IT solutions and before long we realized we'd outgrown the one platform and brand. Global Currents has since been 'birthed' to house the wide range of solutions we now provide to not for profits in need.
We may have traded pink for a bit of blue, however, Global Currents exists so we can continue stimulating and empowering individual acts of charity.
VANCOUVER, BC, August 10, 2010 – Non-profit organizations now have access to a range of high-tech, affordable and easy solutions to their donor programs with the launch of Global Currents. Global Currents, parent company to PincGiving, houses the company's IT platforms ranging from simple Donation Gateways to fully custom Peer to Peer Platforms.
"We created Global Currents with the idea that web solutions for non-profits should be affordable and simple to use", says Beverley Pomeroy, Global Currents founder and CEO. "Our platforms, whether they are the free PINC Donate Now button or even our more complex Give Cubed Platform are all straight forward solutions that actually work for a non-profit. Affordable innovation - what a concept", says Pomeroy.
Global Currents works with charities to help generate, sustain and develop sources of income, drive partnerships, and utilize the web to create 'peer to peer' fundraising. The Company offers Corporate Social Responsibility consulting for companies wanting to do 'the right thing' and maintains a large database of cause driven content. Global Currents also owns The Life On Purpose™ Network,an online cause driven video platform dedicated to profiling philanthropic content from around the world.
"We are the most dedicated team of 'doers' you will find in the industry", says Pomeroy. "More than selling you a product, each member of our team brings a combined experience and understanding of what is needed in the not-for-profit world that you quite simply won't find elsewhere."

About Beverley Pomeroy
Global Currents & PincGiving were started by Beverley as a living legacy to her daughter Sophia, who was born with a life limiting illness so rare there is yet to be a name; she requires constant medical care, and utilizes many resources within her community. Beverley's passion for global change and her desire to find a purpose in the tragedy her family faced, led her to find a solution to some of the issues she was hearing within her own supportive not for profit community. With the intention of facilitating online giving, PincGiving was born and continues to grow globally into a recognized social giving platform.
Beverley is a 2009 Business in Vancouver Top 40 Under Forty recipient as well as a 2009 Stevie Award finalist, recognized as one of Canada's Top Female Entrepreneurs. She has spoken at the UN Informal Regional Network, Social Media for Social Good, SXSW, and is participating in the upcoming Transatlantic Forum in NY.

Beverley sits as a director on the foundation board of Reach Youth and Child Society, formerly Delta Association of Child Development.
New online media platform drives viewers to cause driven video
VANCOUVER, March 10, 2010- Pinc Productions unveils the Life On Purpose Network- a one-of-a-kind online philanthropic media platform at SXSW in Austin, Texas today.
The Life On Purpose™ Network (www.LifeOnPurposeNetwork.com), also known as LOPN, is a NEW online television network dedicated to broadcasting the inspiring stories of people making a difference. The purpose of this specialty Network is to connect viewers with meaningful causes and facilitate charitable giving through its integrated donation software provided by PincGiving. The Life On Purpose™ Network enables individuals, organizations and specific fundraising initiatives to showcase their purpose-driven work locally and globally.
Originally created to showcase cause driven video acquired by its parent company Pinc Productions, the Life On Purpose Network has gained momentum filling the immediate gap in this kind of online media. The Network's built-in "donate to this cause" application connects viewers with meaningful causes and helps support the work of non-profit organizations and charities making a difference.
With a variety of content from IFAW (International Fund of Animal Welfare) to a candid interview with Victor Chan from the Dalai Lama Centre- www.lifeonpurposenetwork.com will revolutionize the way people use online video technology to connect with the causes they support, and how we communicate and connect to each other. All videos uploaded to LOPN also automatically syndicate with YouTube.
"We know that online fundraising can be incredibly daunting to organizations that have little or no exposure to online social networking or social media," says Beverley Pomeroy, founder of Pinc Productions and the Life On Purpose Network. "And with technology changing at the speed of light, for organizations that are already struggling with resources, Pinc/LOPN provides the perfect solution that has reach to a target audience."
Video content, as well as all collaborative materials showcased on LOPN, are vetted and screened in-house before they can be uploaded onto the network. For more about LOPN and how to upload cause driven content today, visit www.lifeonpurposenetwork.com.

SGA wants to spend more on students
Monday, 04 March 2013 22:49
SGA has money and it wants to give it to the people it serves: the students of USA.
A number of student organizations was granted funds at last Monday's Student Government Association meeting, something the SGA wants to see even more of in the future.
SGA Treasurer Will Pearson wants all students in organizations on campus to be aware that funds are available from the SGA. Pearson also wants student's that have any ideas of ways to improve campus to attend the weekly SGA meetings and present them to the senate.
We have some funds to help out...and spend money on the student body as a whole, not just organizations," Pearson said.
$1,900 went toward this year's Relay for Life event at Monday's meeting. This year's relay will be held on campus on Friday, March 29 at 6 p.m.
Jaguar Joggers was granted $1500 dollars for registration fees for the various competitions they compete in throughout the year. This amount tripled from last semester's amount due to an increase in the number of members in Jaguar Joggers.
The Chinese Student Association was granted $700 for reimbursement for the money spent on the Asian New Year celebration held in early February.
The SGA wants students to aware of important dates for this year's SGA elections.
Applications are available at the SGA office in the academic support center on Jaguar drive and are due at the SGA office by 5 p.m. on March 18.
Those that submit applications must attend a mandatory candidates meeting on March 18 at 5:15 p.m. at the SGA office. Any applicants that cannot attend the meeting must send a representative to the meeting in his or her place.
Primary elections will begin via JagMail on Monday, March 25 and end on Wednesday, March 27. Run-offs will begin on April 1 and end April 3.
The SGA encourages all South Alabama students to attend their weekly meetings to find out about campus events and have a voice in SGA decisions as part of the student forum.
The SGA meets on Monday nights at 8 p.m. in the conference room at the Fresh Food Co. near the residence halls.

Computers Could Run Faster With Spinning Electrons
A conventional computer processor.
CREDIT: Barbara Kennedy, Penn State University
Forget external hard drives and more RAM; if you really want to upgrade your computing rig, it's time to get your electrons spinning in the right direction. New research in the field of "spintronics" suggests that changing the spin of the electrons in an internal processor is the best way to get your computer running quickly.
According to Nitin Samarth, a professor of physics at Pennsylvania State University, advancements in computing speeds slowed down about five years ago because of limitations in the way computer processors are made.
Today's processors rely on the density of transistors on a computer chip. The transistors act like switches, turning "on" or "off" – corresponding to a "one" or "zero" state – to change the flow of electrons through the chip. The more tightly packed the transistors are on a chip, the faster the flow of electrons through the processor. So tightly packed transistors make computers run faster. But all those moving electrons create a lot of heat.
"The very fundamental limitation that stops computer manufacturers from making these chips faster is that the transistors are reaching the density at which the heat they generate cannot dissipate fast enough to prevent the computer from melting," Samarth said.
Samarth and his team have been working on giving computers a new way to get their ones and zeros. Instead of having electrons flow hotly through a transistor, the scientists have designed new kinds of materials that will let individual electrons be "cool" by just spinning in one of two opposite ways.
"In one of those mysterious aspects of quantum mechanics, Nature allows the electron only to either spin up or spin down in the presence of a magnetic field," Samarth said.
Samarth and his team of researchers have been trying to cool down the process of creating super-fast transistors, and they're doing it one electron at a time.
"One of the interesting phenomena that people discovered in recent years is that you can change the orientation of an electron's spin just by using a voltage," Samarth said. "You are not back to creating heat-generating resistance inside a transistor by making the electrons flow, but rather you are just changing the orientation of their spin."
These electron-manipulating transistors could pave the way to faster, more energy-efficient computers, according to Samarth. But first, he and his team need to build them.
"It's a little bit like playing atomic-scale Legos," said Samarth of the process of creating "spintronic" transistors. "Like the components in modern computer chips, the highly specialized devices that we are fabricating here, which might function as spintronics transistors, typically are smaller than 100 times the width of one strand of your hair."
[See also: Physicists Nudge Electrons, Move Toward Crazy-Fast Computers]
Samarth uses two ultra-high-vacuum chambers to perform a process known as molecular-beam epitaxy.
"At first we create a very high-vacuum inside these chambers, then we deposit beams of selected kinds of elements in a very controlled way in order to deposit a layer of material that is the thickness of only one atom," Samarth said.
"Because of the ultra-high vacuum, while one atomic layer is going down, nothing else is being deposited...We then can use a variety of different elements, plus the power of thermodynamics and chemistry, to engineer the crystal we want by building it up one atomic layer at a time."
In addition to the creation of these "spintronic" transistors, the researchers are also working on manipulating electron spin in other semiconducting devices.

Heath Bell was officially released by the Tampa Bay Rays on Sunday morning, as the he'd been expected to. The team designated him for assignment a week ago after having a disappointing start to the season. With limited trade value, the team wasn't expected to be able to move him instead.
Bell made just 13 appearances for the Rays, throwing 17.1 IP. Neither his 7.27 ERA or 1.846 WHIP were encouraging. He'd struck out 12, walked 8, and allowed 24 hits on the year.
The former All Star had been acquired by the Rays during the offseason as part of a three team trade. Tampa Bay sent a pair of minor leaguers to the Arizona Diamondbacks in the deal. Justin Choate's season has yet to begin, as most Low-A leagues don't begin their seasons until the summer. Todd Glaesmann retired shortly after the new year began. Tampa Bay also received catcher Ryan Hanigan in the same trade, the lone piece that's been able to produce to date. Hanigan has hit .259/.344/.412 in 97 PA for the Rays.
At 36, most of Bell's best years are likely behind him and he's struggled heavily in recent seasons. He'll only cost an acquiring team a pro-rated portion of the league minimum to sign for the rest of the season, but it remains to be seen just how much interest there may be.

Gymnastics seemed to come so easy for Nansy Damianova last year. The Canadian performed near-flawless routines that not only caught the attention of fans, but captivated judges enough to make her one of Utah's highest scoring gymnasts.
With clean lines and graceful moves, Damianova won the NCAA regional floor title and was the co-champion on the vault and a regular contributor on the uneven bars.
With all her success, the Utes expected Damianova to be a contributor in the all-around this season. Unfortunately, the season hasn't gone as hoped for the sophomore who is competing regularly only on the floor.
So what has happened with the once-budding star?
Her disappearance from the lineup not only is a testament to the strength of the team this season but also evidence of the amount of work the Utes put in in the gym this summer.
Damianova elected to go home rather than stay for the voluntary workouts, which put her behind the team in preparation. Once she arrived, Damianova and the coaches made some changes to her routines, which led to more of an adjustment than she expected.
"Last year, I'd done that routine for years," she said. "This year, I don't feel as stable and I'm not doing my skills as well."
Even with just two meets remaining in the regular season, Utah coach Greg Marsden hopes he can get Damianova in the uneven bars lineup. She competed once, falling off the bars against BYU and scoring 9.275, but she is capable of scoring much higher. She is showing better form in practice and in exhibition. Her vault is finally coming around as well, leaving Marsden with some possible lineup decisions to make in the coming weeks.
Marsden doesn't want to make too many changes at this point, preferring the team get accustomed to an order as they head into the post-season. However, Damianova's work has caught his attention.
"After we changed her bar routine, it made it more competitive, but she struggled with consistency," Marsden said. "It has taken her a while to get back to form, and every week she has been doing a better job. Her vaulting has a lot of amplitude and has been coming around in the last three weeks, but now it might be tough for her to get into the lineup. We have to make those decisions. It might be tough to take somebody out of the vault lineup at this point."
Just knowing her coach thinks she is performing better makes Damianova offer a smile in relief. The 2008 Olympian isn't accustomed to struggling in gymnastics.
"It has been hard getting into the lineup and frustrating," she said. "I just keep training harder. I thought my new routines would be easier, but the timing is different so that makes it harder."
A quiet personality, Damianova was one of the few gymnasts who didn't thrive in the preseason during the Utes' intrasquad battles. The talent of Utah's freshmen pushed all the gymnasts to perform better, but Damianova didn't respond quite as well to the pressure from her teammates.
Only now is she starting to show the confidence she had a year ago, Marsden said.
"She was constantly looking over her shoulder," he said. "She didn't adjust as well as the others did to having such a deep team around her. But I've seen some encouraging things that make me believe she is coming around."

Some Vernacular Railroad Photographs
"We behold a picture containing content that no longer exists, created by a photographer no longer alive. And yet the picture's latent reality miraculously rises from its surface, existing for us in the present as an accurate likeness of the past. Holding a snapshot or glossy 8 x 10 railroad photograph in my hands, then, and contemplating the circumstances surrounding its production, producer, and place in time is still a magical experience, even after a decade of avid collecting."

throwback from another age and the odd one out most of my life
Something to live by.
Reading José Saramego's "The Elephant's Journey"
#1: "Colpo di fulmine. The thunderbolt, as Italians call it. When love strikes someone like lightning, so powerful and intense it can't be denied. It's beautiful and messy, cracking a chest open and spilling their soul out for the world to see. It turns a person inside out, and there's no going back from it. Once the thunderbolt hits, your life is irrevocable changed." - Sempre | J.M. Darhower

Barnsley Pits and Pit Men by Brian Elliott is a pictorial celebration of the men who worked in the pits and the society in which they lived. The time span is from Victorian times to the 1990's, and so covers the meteoric rise and subsequent fall of one of the nation's great industries.The vast majority of the many photographs reproduced in this book, are from the private collection of the author and have never before been published. A limited number of photographs from other collections have also been included to complete this pictorial record of Barnsley's great mining heritage. Included are many photographs of the now fast disappearing reminders of our localmining heritage. In addition, there are oral histories of the work and social memories of ex miners and their families.The style and content of this book offers a completely fresh insight into the lives of the men and women who worked and played within sight and sound of the many pits in the Barnsley area. Barnsley Pits and Pit Men is a pictorial tribute to and celebration of Barnsley's miners and their families. The bookshelf of anyone interested in the history of Barnsley and its people would be incomplete without this unique publication.

Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
Latest AMD Drivers cause SEVERE flickering
I am using an ATI Radeon HD 5770 with WIndows 7 64-bit.
I just today updated my videocard's drivers (and the whole suite) and am now experiencing SEVERE screen flickering. Even now, as I am typing, the horizontal flickering is happening with almost every letter (also when I'm not doing anything).
The flickering seems semi-random, and it happens more when I am active, but still continues even if I am not. And can take up anywhere from 1-80% of the screen (from the bottom up).
ANd I don't know if this helps, but at first it was my secondary monitor, but now it's my main that is having the issues. Their order switched while I tinkered with the suite VGA settings for maximum refresh rate and resolution for each monitor. During this time, the monitor label "2" jumped from the secondary to the primary monitors, along with the flickers (so anything labeled as "1" seems fine, while "2" flickers constantly).
Any ideas or solutions? I was unable to find anything through the AMD/ATI website, and re-installing the drivers did nothing.
EDIT: Just played with the resolution/refresh rate settings and now the flickering jumped back to my secondary monitor (still marked as "1"). So apparently the "2" has nothing to do with it.

I normally only handle servers and now I am back to dealing with desktops again and I am doing imaging with Ghost.
I have my master image ready of XP Pro and will be pushing it to my clients. All I need to do on my clients is worry about getting a new SID. I have a small amount of clients and will handle the local settings upself after the image rather than via sysprep.
So, when exactly do I run sysprep to regenerate the SID?
If I run it after the image is pushed and then it reboots the client being imaged and takes me through the setup can I be assumed that I am okay?
I really want to keep this as simple as possible.

|WikiProject Molecular and Cellular Biology
|(Rated Start-class, High-importance)
|Extremophile has been listed as a level-4 vital article in Science. If you can improve it, please do. This article has been rated as Start-Class.
|WikiProject Microbiology
|(Rated Start-class, High-importance)
On 24 AUG 2008, Extremophile was linked from slashdot, a high-traffic website. (See visitor traffic)
All prior and subsequent edits to the article are noted in its revision history.
Old discussions[edit]
Is methanophile a term in current usage? I've more often (only?) heard methanotrope used. I'll google it sometime to check, but would welcome some other commentary.
Also, to what extent does extremophile refer to single-cell organisms? Are halophytes, (which, if I recall correctly, are plants that tolerate salty conditions) extremophiles? Is being tolerant of extreme conditions (for some definition of extreme) sufficient, or must an organism thrive or require extreme conditions?
There was a picture in this month's National Geographic (my in-laws buy it for me, because I tend to read it when I'm at my in-laws :-) of an algal mat growing in a volcanically active region of the Kamchatka Peninsula--I was wondering if the algae pictured qualified as an extremophile
-- dja
- I agree with you about methanogens. Many are mesophilic. The same is true of endoliths. I'm going to remove these two.
- With regards to your question about single celled organisms. The term is is not limited to unicellular life, but the vast majority of examples are single celled. Along these lines, I added a link to antarctic krill and made the existing link to some extrempophilic insects more prominent. Jmeppley 01:41, 6 Nov 2004 (UTC)
A lot of this page bears a strong resemblance to this: [[1]] I assume the original material is public domain, or the authors are the same, or something, but I just wanted to be sure. --User:Stuart Presnell
As far as I know methanogens are not extremophiles per se - most of them are mesophiles, they love temperatures between 20-40 degree celsius. All methanogens are archaea, indeed the term methanogen just refers to the fact that these organisms produce methane not more. -- not a wikipedia member yet
Mesophiles are extremophiles[edit]
According to the article mesophiles and aerobes are on the list of extremophiles, which makes people extremophiles. Am I missing something here, or do we need to put non-extremophiles in a separate list? --ChadThomson 10:53, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
- (I moved this topic to the en to be in line with conventions)
- Wow, how did those get in there. Mesophile is the opposite of extremophile. I'm taking that out as well as aerobe, anaerobic, ad anything else that refers to oxygen levels. Extremophilism is a qualitative concept for the most part, so these are all up for debate at some level, but virtually every body of water and mud puddle in the world supports anaerobic organisms.
- What I took out
- Aerobe: requires O2 to survive.
- Anaerobic: does not need O2 to survive.
- Mesophile: An organism that thrives in temperatures between 15-60 °C.
- Microaerophilic: requires levels of O2 that are lower than atmospheric levels.
- OK, so I re-read the article and it has a non-human slant. The end of the first paragraph sets up the list to include everything I just took out. While I appreciate that the terme is very anthropocentric, the term is non the less defined that way and we can't redefine a word for the sake of a species-neutral POV. I'm taking out much of this language, although I'll leave in the part pointing out that it is defined from a human's point of view. Jmeppley 18:03, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
Removed text from article (added at bottom): can perhaps be reused in some way?[edit]
'Extremophiles' are organisms that are able to live in extreme environments; areas of extremely high/low temperatures, high salinity, pH and pressure. These organisms, able to survive in these extreme environments, have unique properties that have allowed their enzymes to be used in industry to improve 'enzyme-driven' transformations in chemical, food & pharmaceutical applications1. It is the use of these enzymes that allows scientists to carry out reactions in conditions under which the reaction would normally cease to occur.
Extremophiles were first discovered around 40yrs ago and since 'more than $250 million'6 has been spent on scientists in industry to discover ways to extract and use their enzymes. The enzymes found within extremophiles, called extremozymes, are used to speed up chemical reactions in order to obtain bigger percentage yields and improve the quality of foods and drugs in wide use in our society today.
The enzymes found inside extremophiles are similar to the enzymes found inside humans and other living organisms- both prokaryotic and eukaryotic. Enzymes are proteins and are sometimes 'biological catalysts'4 Enzymes are able to speed up reactions by lowering the activation energy (energy needed to break the bonds to begin reaction) of a certain reaction. Enzymes are often specific to a certain molecule and most are produced naturally within the organism itself. For example in extremophiles, the protein catalysts allow chemical reactions to occur that allow the extremophiles to survive within its environment. Before extremophiles were discovered, proteins used in industry had to be protected from breaking down and denaturing (becoming unable to be used). "Scientists hope that the proteins in extremophiles will not need special treatment like regular proteins"6. This will save all industries a great deal of money.
The type of enzyme extracted from extremophiles depends on the conditions and environment in which the extremophiles lives in. Several different kinds of extremophiles exist, each which unique properties: Acidophiles are microorganisms that are able to survive in highly acidic environments. Different acidophiles live in habitats of various pHs, ranging from 1-5. The enzymes extracted from acidophiles include amylases & cellulases, which can be used in industry to make detergents, food & animal feed and also starch processing.
Thermophiles are extremophiles that live in a habitat of extremely high temperature. The enzymes within them are advantageous for industry because at high temperatures most enzymes used break down, or denature and so are unable to complete the given reaction. Also, the 'solubility of many reaction components is significantly improved' at a higher temperature. Enzymes from thermophiles include Xylanases- used for paper bleaching, Glucosyl hydrolases- used for food processing and textiles and Chitinases- used for chitin modification in food and health products. Halophiles are extracted from hyper saline environments due to their 'ability to obtain an osmotic balance'6, meaning able to maintain and control water gain/loss even in an extremely salty environment. Enzymes from Halophiles include Proteases and dehydrogenases- used in peptide (protein synthesis) and organic media respectively.
Extremophiles are not only extracted from environments of high/low temp and salinity but also high pressure habitats. Peizophiles are able to withstand pressured environments up to 130Mpa. Pressure-resistant enzymes, like the ones extracted from Peizophiles, are useful in industry as high pressures are used for food sterilisation and also the production of household antibiotics.. Therefore, with the use of the extremozymes from Peizophiles, food sterilisation and antibiotic production could occur at higher pressures and at a better standard and rate.
In addition, other classes of extremophiles exist, although little is still known about them. These include; Radiophiles (exist under extreme radiation), Metallophiles (high metal concentrations) and Microaerophiles (under lack of oxygen). While the number of extremozymes extracted from extremozymes continues to grow, scientists are working on sequencing their genomes- listing the genes present in organisms, in order to improve the ways in which industry and food production occur in our society today.

Lithoautotrophy, chemolithoautotrophy, and oligotrophy describe how an organism obtains its carbon/energy. This is different from the other categories of extremophiles, which are based on the physical parameters of locales where extremophiles thrive. Oligotrophy in specific is a bit jarring in the list of extremophiles since many microbes can survive oligotrophic conditions. My exposure to the field as a researcher gives me the impression that the modes of carbon requisition is generally not considered as a form of extreme survival trait like the ability to withstand and thrive in waters at 100oC is.

New template[edit]
I created a template for extremophiles. Please fee free to edit it and make it better. Remember 16:10, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
Incomplete reference[edit]
I removed "It is estimated that these microbes comprise anywhere from 1/3 to over 1/2 the living biomass on the planet (D'Hondt, Ridge 2000), and the populations extend more than 730 meters below the seafloor." as the cited reference was not given in the ref section and I don't find such a paper with a quick search.

Are endoliths extremophiles per se? --Antorjal (talk) 13:44, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
GFAJ-1 is not that special it can life in A nutritionally limited environment and is therfore a Oligotroph. I suggest to remove it from the list. --Stone (talk) 18:30, 4 December 2010 (UTC)
- I agree that it should be removed, if only on the basis that it is not a "type" of extremophile, but an example of an extremophile. -- leuce (talk) 11:52, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
Merge Polyextremophile here[edit]
The polyextremophile article should be merged here. After several years, there is nothing but a definition and a few examples, showing that polyextremophiles have more than a single extrmeophile charatceristic, but there is nothing beyond that. A merger would result in an extra sentence or two. --EncycloPetey (talk) 18:16, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
Complex extrempohiles.[edit]
Extreme environments need not restrict life to microbial forms. There are experimental evidence for the origin of complex life through non-Darwinian dearmation allowing self-organization, caused by environmental stress weakening the organisms so that they can no longer afford fighting and territoriality. This means that environmental stress actually makes complex life more likely. This is explained in greater detail on the page "self-organization" on Pure science Wiki. Pure science Wiki is for the pure scientific method without academic prestige-fixation. 22.214.171.124 (talk) 12:48, 14 January 2013 (UTC)Martin J Sallberg

State Farm's CARS 2 "AGENTS ON A MISSION" Multi-City Tour Coming To St. Louis
Star Racecar Lightning McQueen, Lovable Tow Truck Mater and
Master British Spy Finn McMissile Race Across North America to Celebrate
Disney•Pixar's Big-Screen Adventure "Cars 2"
BURBANK, Calif. (March 18, 2011) – Presented by State Farm, the "Agents on a Mission" tour hits the road with Disney•Pixar's "Cars 2" this spring when four-time Piston Cup champion Lightning McQueen and best friend Mater join master British spy Finn McMissile on a 30-city tour that kicks off at the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minn., on March 22. The star cars race off the big screen and into a host of cities—life-size remote-controlled models will light up and rev for fans in Detroit, Toronto, Phoenix, Philadelphia, New York, Boston, Washington, DC, and Miami, among others. The tour heats up at the film's Los Angeles red-carpet premiere on June 18, just in time for the "Cars 2" theatrical opening on June 24.
Before that, State Farm's "Agents on a Mission" tour will be making a stop right here in St. Louis!
These events are free and open to the public.
Please note, the Cars must be covered in the case of rain.
- Saturday, March 26th; 9am – 4pm at the Museum of Transportation (2967 Barrett Station Road, St. Louis, MO 63122)
- Sunday, March 27th; 11am – 4pm at the Museum of Transportation (2967 Barrett Station Road, St. Louis, MO 63122)

"The 'Agents on a Mission' tour lets fans get face to face with 'Cars' favorites Lightning McQueen and Mater, plus the very cool, very savvy spy Finn McMissile, a new character on 'Cars 2' roster," says MT Carney, president of marketing for The Walt Disney Studios. "This movie is filled with fun, action, heart and a lot of laughs—we want to get everyone geared up for 'Cars 2.'"
Star racecar Lightning McQueen (voice of Owen Wilson) and the incomparable tow truck Mater (voice of Larry the Cable Guy) take their friendship to exciting new places in Disney•Pixar's "Cars 2" when they head overseas to compete in the first-ever World Grand Prix. But the road to the championship is filled with surprises when Mater gets caught up in an intriguing adventure of his own: international espionage. Mater finds himself torn between assisting Lightning McQueen in the high-profile race and towing the line in a top-secret mission orchestrated by master British super spy Finn McMissile (voice of Michael Caine). Directed by John Lasseter and produced by Denise Ream, the fast-paced fun includes a colorful new all-car cast, complete with menacing villains and international racing competitors.
State Farm brings Disney•Pixar's "Cars 2" adventure directly to fans with the "Agents on a Mission" tour, showcasing cars modeled after their big-screen likenesses. The cars will be outfitted in Goodyear tires and transported from coast to coast (and back again) by Mack Trucks, Inc. Visitors can check out the cars and take part in a variety of "Cars 2"-themed activities, including a video kiosk, e-photo opportunities, games and giveaways. They can also enter the "Agents on a Mission" sweepstakes, which features 18,000 prizes, including a new car.
"State Farm is thrilled to present the 'Cars 2' 'Agents on a Mission' tour," says Pam El, marketing vice president, State Farm.

SIZE MATTERS – The replica cars are the largest production radio-controlled replica cars ever built.
- At 1000 foot pounds of torque – the electric motors provide enough power to theoretically climb a telephone pole!
- Finn weighs in around 1,760 lbs.
- Lightning McQueen weighs in around 2,250 lbs.
- Mater weighs in at just over 2,700 lbs.
ART IN MOTION — Because of the unique scale of these vehicles, all the exterior pieces had to be fabricated from scratch. No actual "off- the-shelf" car parts could be used. The sculpting process for each vehicle's body took 6-10 days, totaling 1000-1600 man hours. After the cars were carved in foam, a fiberglass mold was created, and from that the final bodies were produced.
- The chassis for the cars are Model-T replica frames.
- Mater is hand-painted, using a proprietary system that creates real rust on his cab and bed.
- Because the cars had to reflect the designs of the film's characters, the control systems (switches, lights etc.) had to be built into the various parts of the car. These have been hidden from view.
FILL 'ER UP — The cars are all electric powered. Each runs on four automotive-style batteries at 48 volts and can run for 30 minutes at full speed.
NO SPEEDING ZONE — The cars can travel up to 10 miles per hour.
REV IT UP — The engine sounds and exhaust sounds are recreated through a 200-watt sound system under the hood.
- The cars are controlled by a high-tech radio-control system normally used for high-end RC hobby cars.
TRICKY TIRES – Lightning McQueen's tires are one of a kind due to their unique size and were fabricated by Goodyear specifically for the "Agents on a Mission" tour.
- Lightning McQueen is so low to the ground that he needs specially designed ramps to get over even the smallest bumps.
YOU'VE GOT THE LOOK — There are three sets of eyes that are held to the windshield by magnets. The fiberglass windshield is imbedded with iron filings which attracts the magnetic eyes.

Thanks for your write-up. One other thing is the fact that individual states have their very own laws in which affect house owners, which makes it very hard for the our lawmakers to come up with a brand new set of rules concerning home foreclosure on property owners. The problem is that a state features own legislation which may have impact in an undesirable manner in relation to foreclosure policies.
One thing I have actually noticed is the fact that there are plenty of myths regarding the finance institutions intentions if talking about foreclosures. One fable in particular is that often the bank prefers to have your house. The lending company wants your money, not the home. They want the bucks they loaned you along with interest. Staying away from the bank will draw the foreclosed final result. Thanks for your post.
Thanks for expressing your ideas on this blog. Additionally, a fantasy regarding the finance institutions intentions whenever talking about foreclosed is that the bank will not getreceive my payments. There is a certain quantity of time that this bank will require payments every now and then. If you are very deep inside the hole, they're going to commonly desire that you pay the actual payment in full. However, i am not saying that they will have any sort of payments at all. Should you and the financial institution can manage to work some thing out, the actual foreclosure method may cease. However, if you continue to pass up payments wih the new program, the property foreclosure process can pick up where it was left off.
I believe that a foreclosed can have a important effect on the debtor's life. Foreclosures can have a 6 to ten years negative influence on a debtor's credit report. A borrower who has applied for home financing or virtually any loans for that matter, knows that the worse credit rating is definitely, the more difficult it is to get a decent loan. In addition, it may possibly affect a borrower's power to find a decent place to lease or hire, if that will become the alternative housing solution. Great blog post.
Based on my research, after a foreclosed home is available at a bidding, it is common for any borrower in order to still have any remaining unpaid debt on the bank loan. There are many creditors who make an effort to have all fees and liens cleared by the following buyer. However, depending on particular programs, laws, and state guidelines there may be some loans that aren't easily sorted out through the exchange of lending options. Therefore, the obligation still falls on the consumer that has got his or her property in foreclosure process. Thanks for sharing your notions on this blog site.
I have been browsing online greater than 3 hours nowadays, yet I by no means found any interesting article like yours. It is lovely value sufficient for me. In my opinion, if all webmasters and bloggers made excellent content as you did, the net shall be a lot more useful than ever before.

'Fighting the Odds' – back in print
You've seen the box above this post – about the new edition of the great Frank Church biography Fighting the Odds – for a while now. But with the release ongoing, I wanted to draw a little more attention to it.
You can find most of what you want to know (including how to order) at the Fighting the Odds page.
Here's what we had to say in our release to media and others:
Four-term Idaho Senator Frank Church would make any short list of the most important U.S. senators of the last century, and one of the most active on heated issues, from his role in developing wilderness areas, to his opposition to the Vietnam War, to investigating the CIA, Church was a leader on a host of difficult issues – and he did so representing a state where his views were not always in the majority.
Now Fighting the Odds: The Life of Senator Frank Church by LeRoy Ashby and Rod Gramer, is back in print on the twentieth anniversary of its first publication, through Ridenbaugh Press.
With a new foreword from Oregon's senior senator Ron Wyden, who has followed Church's footsteps with efforts to protect Americans from the over-reaching of our National Security Agency, "Fighting the Odds," is an award-winning, serious biography about a man who was not afraid to speak out and stand for what was right, instead of what was popular, accepted policy.
Wyden said in his foreword, "In Fighting the Odds, LeRoy Ashby and Rod Gramer have written, to my mind, the definitive biography of Senator Church's political life. When Mr. Gramer contacted me about writing a foreword for the 20th anniversary of the book's first printing, I was honored and quickly said yes."
Gramer, a long-time Idaho Journalist and now President and CEO of Idaho Business for Education, covered Church for years before joining with Washington State University Professor LeRoy Ashby to write the biography. Continue Reading »Share on Facebook

Mantis (March 2011)
Literally the title, this is about the passion of woman. I speculated: "what if they actually drain the life out of each other?". This image signifies the intensity of the passion of a woman's love. At the height of their physical pleasure, she swallows him whole. He becomes lost in her, giving his whole being in that one moment. forever her prisoner.
This is inspired by Murakami's novel Norwegian wood (2000), where the protagonist, who was included again in the life of the heroine, falls in love with her completely after one night of sponteneous passion, unable to free himself from her tangled web.

July 1 Is Day for Mass, Messy Moves in Montreal
By David George-Cosh, WSJ, June 28, 2013
MONTREAL—To most Canadians, the first of July is a day spent celebrating Canada Day. Except in Montreal, where everybody is too busy moving.
Rooted in centuries of tradition, July 1 is the day tens of thousands of Montrealers move to new homes—an annual rite of passage for Canada's second-biggest city.
It's also one big municipal headache.
Moving vans clog residential streets and compete for sidewalk space. Breakdowns are common. Friends scramble to recruit able-bodied helpers. Treasure hunters roam the city, looking for furniture, appliances or other gems thrown out, or abandoned in haste.
"You have this chain reaction of disasters that if one person has a long move, four people can't move in," said Simon Leblanc, a sales manager for Microsoft Corp.'s Xbox gaming system and veteran of four Moving Day moves. Stressed moving companies don't like to wait around. "If you don't want to lose your truck, you have to make some really quick decisions," Mr. Leblanc said.
The frenzy began in the mid-18th century, when a requirement to move on a certain, single day was viewed as a way to save tenants from being put out on the streets in the middle of Quebec's bitter winters.
In 1973, the Quebec government formalized July 1 as the day that annual rental agreements can begin.
These days, however, the law allows leases to begin and end any day of the year. But shaking tradition is tough. "It was good for the landlords and the tenants," said Genevieve Trudel, a representative of the Quebec Housing Board.
Most rental agreements still start on July 1.
Movers, amateurs and professionals alike, in this city of 1.65 million, have long taken advantage of the crunch. They jack up prices for the day and require customers to book trucks up to six months in advance.
Andre Bilodeau, who worked as a mover for 12 years, recalls one recent Moving Day when four trucks were parked in the driveway of one residence. Tempers flared in the building's elevators, and movers mixed up furniture, loading some of it onto the wrong vehicles.
Jonathan Painchaud, owner of Bust a Move Moving, has all four of his moving trucks booked for 18 jobs on the big day. Every year he tries to organize a plan of attack—some moves have begun as early as 4:30 in the morning.
Because of the demand, he raises his hourly rates to C$139, from about C$89 in the winter. Mr. Painchaud estimates that his company takes in about 15% of its annual revenue during the first week in July.
Out-of-towners are known to get in on the action.
James Stram, from Albany, N.Y., heads to Montreal each year in his blue cargo van to help people move. Mr. Stram can earn C$500 on July 1, working 7 a.m. through 2 p.m., connecting with people responding to the ads he puts online. He says he is often tipped in beer.
"There's always going to be big moving companies with dollies and three or four guys moving people," Mr. Stram said. "But I think there are a lot of people doing what I'm doing now to get a few extra bucks."
Amateur help comes with risks. One Moving Day about three years ago, Mr. Stram couldn't fit a refrigerator through a door, so he tried to gently lower it from the emergency escape. The power cord on the appliance got snagged, and the fridge briefly dangled three stories up.
Estimates vary, but about 67,000 households in Quebec move on July 1, a "very large" proportion of whom are in Montreal, said Patrice Lavoie, a spokesman with Hydro-Quebec, the provincial power company. It adds 80 temporary workers to meet the various demands brought on by Moving Day.
The power company's busiest day, however, is July 2. "That's when customers who forgot to let us know about their move get in touch," Mr. Lavoie said.
The Montreal borough of Ville-Marie hires extra workers for the days around Moving Day to patrol the city's streets and alleyways looking for bulky objects to cart away.
It's a field day for junk hunters and scavengers. Mr. Bilodeau, the former mover, said he has picked up televisions, keyboards and, one year, a brand-new bike.
"The sidewalks around McGill wind up looking like IKEA's 2010 Fall catalog," said Drew Grassby, a fourth-year student at McGill University.
One Domino's Pizza store in the city's trendy Plateau area hires extra staff to handle the surge in demand on the big day. The chain offers its annual "Moving Day" special—a large, two-topping pizza for C$10—about half the normal price.
"It's the second-biggest day of the year for us, right behind the Super Bowl," said Jillul Islam, assistant manager of the Domino's store.

Our job, the task of the Intruder, is to kill SAMs. Make no mistake about it, gentlemen, SAMs are where your ordnance goes. Otherwise, those B-52's will be dead meat. We can expect a forest of SAMs and flak you can lay down on. We've got to cut a path through for the Air Force. We'll be going in broad daylight with nothing to hide behind. We'll be easy targets up there, gentlemen, but they're counting on us. Lean into it. Let's go downtown!

It was pretty rotten for our cars to be towed without warning from a shopping center in Front Royal . I was told by a food store employee that it was OK to park there "as long as you do not park in front of the stores." I used to shop at the stores and restaurants there. I guess the center owner doesn't care about that. It's understandable to not want cars parked there if we were taking parking away from customers. We "were" the customers, before and after work.
