Viggo Mortensen on Warners' Radar for 'Superman' Villain (Exclusive)
Producer Christopher Nolan and director Zack Snyder eye actor as "person of interest" for reboot.
Now that British hunk Henry Cavill is set to play the Man of Steel, the search is on the fill out the rest of the cast of Warner Bros.' big-budget Superman reboot.
Sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that producer Christopher Nolan and director Zack Snyder are zeroing in on an intriguing actor to play the villain: Viggo Mortensen.
Mortensen, who is still in negotiations for Universal's Snow White and the Huntsman, is said to be at the top of the list to play General Zod, the evil and super-powered scientist who was portrayed by Terrence Stamp in 1980's Superman II. If Mortensen's Snow White deal doesn't close, that would potentially free him up to make Superman. Or Universal and Warner Bros. could work out his schedule and enable him to do both.
Sources say no talks have commenced and that Mortensen is just a "person of interest," much like Kevin Costner is for the role of Jonathan Kent. The actors aren't the only ones considered for their respective roles, though they are the ones most seriously talked about.
Snyder is in the midst of meeting actors for not only the role of Zod and Kent, but the three female parts well. Given the Nolan pedigree with the Batman films and the tenpole nature of a Superman film, the roles are considered some of the hottest and most-desired in town.
Warner Bros. had no comment.

I am moving to a home where CableOne provides the fastest speeds (up to 50/2). I have a number of wireless computers and devices, and am currently bridging my CenturyLink (current ISP) Modem through a Linksys E4200v2 Router.I want to make sure that whichever modem I get from CableOne, I'll be able to also bridge it through my E4200v2.--PR is back in town
make sure to read the fine print. they have a 50 gig cap on their 50mb plan. Then they charge you overages.
I requested a replacement modem a few weeks ago and they gave me a new Arris TG862G.
I requested a replacement modem a few weeks ago and they gave me a new Arris TG862G.
make sure to read the fine print. they have a 50 gig cap on their 50mb plan. Then they charge you overages.
If you buy CableOne's wireless version then "bridging" might be applicable because the modem contains a router. You probably don't want that since you'll want to continue using your E4200v2.Without the wireless option they'll rent you an Arris TM802G, and "bridging" doesn't apply. Your Linksys will get a WAN IP via DHCP and you'll be all set.Well ... almost all set. On CableOne you can't see the usual modem status pages at »192.168.100.1 on the model TM802G like you can with other cable modems & models. It responds to pings to that IP but it won't respond to a browser. Apparently they provision it that way.So ... I had them give me an older TM602G just so I can see the modem's information pages & logs and thereby quickly determine whether some problem is on my side or theirs.On the 50/2 plan I was able to speed-test at about 40mbps with their TM802G (DOCSIS 3). With the TM602G I get 35mbps (DOCSIS 2).If you already own a cable modem then it will probably work on CableOne. But if you're buying their phone package too then you'll probably have to get one of their Arris models.
Thanks for the great info. Yes, I'm going to get the phone package also, so I'll have to get an Arris model. After I made the original post, I was able to find out which Modem's they have, and it seems that it's the Arris with Telephony ability that I would need, and that there are 2 of them with that functionality. I believe each is also a Router.If that is the case, I should be able to bridge it. --"Panama Red Is Back In Town" - The New Riders of the Purple Sage
CableOne has a list of modems on their site»help.cableone.net/hsd/modem/certified.aspxI'm using a Linksys CM100 and I'm looking to replace it. Can't tell which of the DOCSIS 3 are worth getting. I don't need a Arris since I won't be using their phone service.
Motorolas are the best to use. Even CableOne techs tell you not to use an arris for both Internet and phone, though I do hear its a pain to get them to let you separate, but not impossible.D3 modems are good only if you have issues in your area such as an over saturated (congestion) node as the D3 tech allows for more data channels and frequencies that are not available for D2 modems.Also you can use an alarm with their phone service even if you have smoke/fire/carbon.--»FreeDNS.afraid.org - Free DNS dynamic DNS subdomain and domain hosting
Thanks to both of you for the info.
I forgot to ask you after your post. Is it only the Arris TM802G where you cannot access the modem status page?How about the other Arris models? The wireless ones with Telephony. You have to have access to the modem status page with those so that you can bridge it, would that be correct?--"Panama Red Is Back In Town" - The New Riders of the Purple Sage
Yes, as far as I know only the TM802G doesn't allow access to the modem status page. I think it's due to the way CableOne provisions them.The cable modem models with wireless have an internal router, and access to them by consumers is required for things like port forwarding. But I don't know about their ability to be "bridged" with your other router. Most often I hear "bridging" in relation to DSL services vs. the different way that cable networks operate.Since you have your E4200v2 it's unclear why you'd want a cable modem that also has wireless and an internal router. You may have shopped for certain features when buying your Linksys router, yet the one that's built into the cable modem may or may not be to your liking.Anyway, good luck & hope you get good service where you're going.
Since you have your E4200v2 it's unclear why you'd want a cable modem that also has wireless and an internal router.
Bridging is only necessary if the modem has a router built in. Since you have your own router, just request a modem that doesn't have an internal router. Your separate routing device will work 1000% better than any combined device no matter the manufacturer.Non-Wireless Arris Models:502602722802822All of these are supported and offered by Cable One: »help.cableone.net/HSD/Modem/Certified.aspx
I don't really need or want a Modem that is also a Wireless Router. I believe from reading about it that I just may have to get one so that I can get Phone service with them.
I do that now with DSL, and it's called Transparent Bridging. I thought it would be the same with Cable. I'll look further into it.
Thank you both helpfultech1 and Graycode.

reDesignMore from the show
Heather and Christopher have a new home with an old-fashioned kitchen that they desperately want to bring up to date. They're ready to say goodbye to everything from the passé cabinet doors and countertops, to the unused double oven and flooring that just doesn't work for them. The couple wants the look of their new kitchen to tie in with the unique, hip style seen in the rest of their home. And who better to cook up a one-of-a-kind kitchen, than the ultra-cool designer, Kenneth Brown!

Next, the hose needs to be "clocked" in the fitting. Make sure the fittings are tight and rotated where you want them. Then with a paint pen or something bright that won't come off easy, put a line across the fitting and hose like so. This mark will be used when it comes time to crimp, or have a local A/C shop crimp the hoses for you.

Oh thank you so much! :) Yeah I used to be on deviantart!
Oh thank you so much! :) Yeah I used to be on deviantart!
Yes I do! :) I have a Wacom Graphire 4 that's pretty old and funky now, but it does the trick!
Thank YOU for following me back! <3
Oh thank you so much! <3
Oh man, I don't even use the correct paper haha! That last piece I used just an A3 sketchbook with 110GSM acid free paper. But most of the time I use really thin, like scrapbook paper because I never want to draw anything on my good paper in case I ruin it, but the stuff I end up drawing on the bad paper I end up colouring and liking haha!
Hey guys,
Just added a disclaimer to the side of my tumblr in regards to my drawings. I know it seems a bit over the top, but my artwork belongs to me and this is what I do for a living. If you repost my work, save it or copy it - even when you're not claiming it as your own - it's not okay, and yes I will be quite angry. For some other artists on tumblr, drawing may just be a hobby or a way to pass time (which is more than okay, there is some truly talented people out there and I really admire them!). But for me, this is my work. My job. My life. And when people steal my work, that's taking away a part of me and my life.
So please think before you right click and save from my blog. I've watermarked most of my images now, so hopefully this problem will die down soon,
Thanks guys!
Thank you so much! :)
Oh wow, thank you so much! I can't even believe that I'd inspire someone else, because I feel that I'm just starting out, you know? I have a long way to go, I'm still learning myself!
What! I can't be an idol yet, I'm not even officially an adult, haha!
I'm so flattered though, thank you so much dude! It's not talent, it's just hard work and practice and all that, honestly!
Well I am a professional, haha! Sort of, I'm on my way there but I do take commissions and try to get my work out in the world. I know I've still got a long way to go yet, though!
Thank you for the sweet words. :)
Oh wow, thank you so much! I shall try my hardest to be awesome, haha!
I like this question a lot!
To be honest, there are a lot of "dream" jobs that I would love to have. I would love to be Mary Poppins at Disneyland in California but I'm not british or cool enough to impersonate Julie Andrews. But realistically, I would love to have my own illustration company/freelance type of thing. I'm finding more and more however that I'm becoming interested in the fashion world. I would secretly love to have my own high end brand, or something really kooky and amazing like Alexander McQueen. Either way, I just want to get my ideas and vision out there.
Thanks for the awesome question, anon!
Thaaaanks dude, I know I know! I'm just…I don't know, I don't see it I guess haha! I see so many areas in which I need to improve!
Oh my gosh, thank you so much! I really do appreciate that. :)
Why thank you. ;)
Thanks dude! If I'm not following you back already, I'm going to do so right now. MJ AND Prince? I love you already!
Oh wow, thank you so much! :)
Thank you so much! I love your blog by the way, spent a bit of time browsing through it and I think I shall be reblogging a few posts in a second! <3
Thank you so much! I'm still in awe of your work, honestly I love people that can create - or recreate - atmosphere in a photo that puts you right into a scene. You definitely have a talent there, my friend!
Aw wow, thank you! I think one of the things that I've really pushed with my artwork is being versatile with my style, and having a few different styles under that as well. Now I just gotta get my technique up a bit and polish things off!
Thanks dude! Actually somebody pointed out to me that it was a bit boring, so I thought I'd spruce it up a bit and get a logo of sorts happening!
Aww, thank you haha! I'm not that good, just doing what I love!
Same here! I'm a big fan of her Dream Street/Control/Rhythm Nation era because she just seems so approachable and down to earth. I love her later stuff, but more so this period of time when she could've been anyone like you or me.
Thank you for sharing that with me, vice versa! Janet continues to inspire me day in, day out. :)
Haha yeah that's all my messy art! :) Thank you!
Thank you so much! I came across your tumblr from a reblog, and honestly your stuff is so inspiring. I love fashion illustration more and more these days, and I'm actually about to start an assignment in this area so I'll definitely be quoting you as an inspiration!

Fans of Denise Richards will delight in her skin-tight and belly-revealing outfits in Good Advice; fans of Charlie Sheen will enjoy his patented sleazeball-with-a-heart-of-gold performance. Richards is the author of a much-ignored advice column who's trying to drag her hotshot stockbroker boyfriend (Sheen) to the altar. When a phony tip ruins Sheen's career, Richards leaves for Brazil with the owner of a diamond mine. When the publisher of the newspaper that runs the advice column calls, Sheen grabs at the chance for a paycheck and writes for Richards. Unsurprisingly, masquerading as a woman saves his shallow male soul and his witty but insightful comments turn the column into a big hit. All seems to be going well until Richards suddenly returns and finds herself famous. Angie Harmon plays the publisher with whom--unsurprisingly--sparks fly. Jon Lovitz, Rosanna Arquette, and Estelle Harris provide helpful support. --Bret Fetzer

Someone is writing a poem. Words are being set down in a force field. It's as if the words themselves have magnetic charges; they veer together or in polarity, they swerve against each other. Part of the force field, the charge, is the working history of the words themselves, how someone has known them, used them, doubted and relied on them in a life. Part of the movement among the words belongs to sound—the guttural, the liquid, the choppy, the drawn-out, the breathy, the visceral, the downlight. The theater of any poem is a collection of decisions about space and time—how are these words to lie on the page, with what pauses, what headlong motion, what phrasing, how can they meet the breath of the someone who comes along to read them? And in part the field is charged by the way images swim into the brain through written language: swan, kettle, icicle, ashes, scab, tamarack, tractor, veil, slime, teeth, freckle.— Adrienne Rich [via mttbll]

There is no poetry of distinction without formal invention, for it is in the intimate form that works of art achieve their exact meaning, in which they most resemble the machine, to give language its highest dignity, its illumination in the environment to which it is native.

Rhythmic form and subject-matter are locked in a permanent embrace: …in metrical verse, it is the nature of the control being exercised that becomes part of the life being spoken about. It is poetry making great use of the conscious intelligence, but its danger is bombast—the controlling music drowning out everything else. Free verse invites a different style of experience, improvisation. Its danger lies in being too relaxed, too lacking in controlling energy.— from The Occasions of Poetry: Essays in Criticism and Autobiography by Thom Gunn 24 Feb # 7 months ago
32. There is a small part of the brain called the fusiform gyrus that is crucial for recognizing faces. If you lose this ability your deficit is called prosopagnosia. It happens that a person with brain damage looks at herself in the mirror, and believes she is seeing, not herself, but a double. It seems that what has vanished is not reason, but that special feeling we get when we look at our reflections, that warm sense of ownership. When that disappears, the image of one's self becomes alien.— from "Notes on Seeing" by Siri Hustvedt 08 Feb # 8 months ago

Six former congressman have signed up for THIRTY HOURS of testimony on "the possible existence of extraterrestrials and be recorded for a documentary film. Around three dozen researchers and academics are expected to testify." (I'd prefer an X-Files Marathon, but whatever...) The bipartisan roster of former congressmen are: Participants will include ex-Sen. Mike Gravel (D-Alaska), and ex-Reps. Lynn Woolsey (D-Calif.), Rep. Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick (D-Mich.), Darlene Hooley (D-Ore.), Roscoe Bartlett (R-Md.) and Merrill Cook (R-Utah). The event is being sponsored by Paradigm research who is (I KID YOU NOT) "a lobbying group for alien research." According to the Detroit News, the organization is paying Kilpatrick $20,000 plus expenses for her participation, although the former congresswoman said she has always been interested in the possibility of extraterrestrial life. I'm speechless.

VLS ranked number one for environmental lawStaff Report | March 18,2013SOUTH ROYALTON — Vermont Law School was ranked number one in environmental law in U.S. News and World Report's 2014 best graduate schools issue.
It marks the fifth year in a row that Vermont Law School has been recognized by the magazine as the best law school in the nation.
Vermont Law School has been ranked number one or number two by the magazine for environmental law since 1991 and has been ranked number one for 16 of those 23 years.
"This ranking reaffirms that VLS is a school with national impact on one of the most important issues of our time," President and Dean Marc Mihaly said. "I am extremely proud of the entire VLS community for their hard work and commitment to our environmental curriculum, clinics and institutes."
Vermont Law School is a private, independent institution that offers a juris doctor curriculum, two master's degrees (Master of Environmental Law and Policy, and Master of Energy Regulation and Law) and three post-JD degrees (LLM in American Legal Studies, LLM in Energy Law, and LLM in Environmental Law).

President Obama leads likely Republican nominee Mitt Romney in the latest IBD/TIPP poll, thanks to a gender gap. But Obama's large margin among women may be less important than his slim edge among men.
The poll shows Obama beating Romney, 46%-38%, with 10% undecided among eligible voters. Obama leads, 48%-35%, among women overall and a whopping 56%-25% among single women.
But Democrats have traditionally had an edge with the female vote. More striking is the fact that Obama narrowly leads Romney, 44%-42%, among men. Romney led this group, 47%-42%, in March, but Obama led, 45%-43%, in February, suggesting that Romney is vulnerable among male voters.
While the female side of the gender gap gets the most media attention, the male side is equally important. Men typical balanced out Republicans' losses among women voters. If Romney is going to win, he's going to have to reignite the GOP's bromance with male voters.
In 2008, Obama won the White House with the support of women, 56%-43% but only barely edging out Republican nominee John McCain among men, 49%-48%. That translated into a 53%-47% win.
In 2004, George W. Bush lost the female vote to John Kerry, 51%-48%, but won the election by seizing the male vote, 55%-44%. In 2000, Bush essentially tied Al Gore by winning men by 11 points, while losing women by 10 points.
"The gender gap is a permanent feature of our politics," said Karlyn Bowman, polling analyst for the free-market American Enterprise Institute. "Since the late 1970s or early 1980s, Republicans have done better with men and Democrats with women."
Romney's image as a man of wealth who has never gotten much dirt under his fingernails may be one explanation for his troubles with male voters.
Another explanation is that Obama is doing much better with his base than Romney. Obama gets the support of 87% of Democrats, but just 77% of Republicans back Romney. The gender gap appears in party registration too, with Republicans having more men and Democrats more women.
Lack of enthusiasm has forced Romney to spend months fending off GOP rivals Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum.
Many of the media have attributed Obama's lead among women to recent controversies involving contraception and other gender issues. These began when the White House issued a policy in January that mandated all employers, including religious ones, provide health coverage that included contraception.
Catholic groups and Republican lawmakers objected. Other controversies followed, including radio host Rush Limbaugh calling a feminist activist a "slut."
In another sign of President Obama's deteriorating public support, more than half of Americans now say that he is failing as president, the latest IBD/TIPP poll finds. The poll, which ended Friday, found that 53% characterize Obama's presidency as a failure vs. 41% who rate it a success. Just 6% ...
President Obama's approval rating dropped to his lowest levels as the public hammers him on his handling of each of the major crises facing the country, according to the latest IBD/TIPP poll, released on Friday. The survey, taken the last week of July, found that only 38% of the public approves of ...
The public largely blames President Obama for the flood of children who have poured over the border in recent weeks, creating a growing humanitarian crisis, according to the latest IBD/TIPP Poll released Monday. The late June survey found that the public largely blames Obama policies for the crisis ...
Just 29% think President Obama has done a good job managing the VA in the wake of the department's patient-care scandal, according to the latest IBD/TIPP poll, while 43% surveyed say he's done a poor job and 22% rate his performance as only average. Meanwhile, 63% say Obama was either disengaged ...
If voter intensity is the key to who controls the Senate next year, Republicans appear to have a big edge, according to the latest IBD/TIPP Poll. When asked to gauge their interest in the November midterms compared with prior elections, 59% of Republicans said it was higher, against just 41% of ...

OBJECTIVE: The goal of this study was to determine 1) whether obsessive-
compulsive disorder is familial, 2) whether there is a familial
relationship between obsessive-compulsive disorder and Gilles de la
Tourette's syndrome and chronic tics, and 3) whether different familial
types of obsessive-compulsive disorder exist. METHOD: In this family study,
all available first-degree relatives of 100 probands with
obsessive-compulsive disorder were interviewed directly with structured
interviews, and best-estimate diagnoses were assigned. In addition to the
466 first-degree relatives of the probands, 113 comparison subjects who
were first-degree relatives of 33 psychiatrically unaffected subjects were
studied with the same interviews. RESULTS: The rates of
obsessive-compulsive disorder and subthreshold obsessive-compulsive
disorder were significantly greater among the relatives of the probands
with obsessive-compulsive disorder (10.3% and 7.9%, respectively) than
among the comparison subjects (1.9% and 2.0%, respectively). Furthermore,
the rate of tics (Tourette's disorder and chronic tics) was also
significantly greater among the relatives of the probands (4.6%) than among
the comparison subjects (1.0%). The relatives of female probands with
obsessive-compulsive disorder were more likely to have tics, and the
relatives of probands with early onset were at higher risk for both
obsessive-compulsive disorder and tics. CONCLUSIONS: Obsessive-compulsive
disorder is a heterogeneous condition. Some cases are familial and related
to tic disorders, some cases are familial and unrelated to tics, and in
other cases there appears to be no family history of either
obsessive-compulsive disorder or tics.

THURSDAY, Nov. 3 (HealthDay News) -- A healthy lifestyle and
appropriate medications can help people with heart disease live
longer and avoid a heart attack or stroke, according to new
guidelines from the American College of Cardiology Foundation and
the American Heart Association.
Following the updated recommendations can also improve quality
of life, reduce the need for surgical procedures to open blocked
arteries and lower the likelihood of a repeat heart attack or
stroke if you've suffered one already, the authors said.
"The full implementation of these cardiovascular protective therapies into clinical practice can markedly reduce the risk of death, disability and health care expenditures due to cardiovascular disease," said Dr. Gregg Fonarow, professor of cardiology at the University of California, Los Angeles and a spokesman for the American Heart Association.
For the first time, the guidelines also recommend a
comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation program after a heart attack,
stroke, bypass surgery, or the diagnosis of heart-related chest
pain or blockages in leg arteries.
Doctors should also screen patients with known heart disease for
depression, the authors said. Depression, which is common after
heart attack or bypass surgery, can reduce quality of life and make
it difficult to alter harmful health behaviors, they noted.
"Every effort should be made to apply these evidence-based, guideline-recommended therapies to routine clinical practice," added Fonarow, who was not involved in writing the guidelines.
Once people develop coronary artery disease or other vascular
disease, such as peripheral artery disease, they are at high risk
for recurrent events and death. "Cardiovascular disease remains the
leading cause of death and disability for men and women in the
United States," Fonarow said. "Fortunately, there are a number of
therapies proven to reduce the risk of mortality, recurrent events,
need for revascularization procedures, cardiovascular
hospitalizations and impairment of health status in patients with
established cardiovascular disease."
The guidelines are published online Nov. 3 in
Circulation and in the
Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
Both patients and their doctors play a part in preventing heart
attack and stroke, said the experts, who also recommend the
following for anyone with heart disease:
"Unless improvements are made in your behavior and medical therapy, the same blood vessel problem that caused your first heart attack or stroke can occur again -- and may result in death -- so long-term changes need to be initiated to get the vascular disease under control," Dr. Sidney C. Smith, Jr., chair of the guideline writing group and professor of medicine at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, said in a news release from the associations.
"Be sure to ask your physician about therapies that can help you live longer and stay healthier after you've survived a heart attack or stroke and make them part of your commitment to a healthy lifestyle," Smith said.
For doctors prescribing drugs to prevent blood clotting, the
authors offer new options. As alternatives to Plavix (clopidogrel)
plus aspirin for patients who have received heart artery stents to
help blood flow, they suggested Effient (prasugrel) and Brilinta
The guidelines also stress the importance of statin drugs, such
as Lipitor and Crestor, to lower cholesterol in patients with
atherosclerosis, a condition involving plaque buildup in the
The authors did not provide new recommendations for lowering
blood pressure and cholesterol as these are expected next year from
the U.S. National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute.

Every excess pound above your ideal body weight makes developing diabetes or prediabetes extremely easy and reversing the condition exceedingly difficult. There are several imperatives regarding diabetes and weight loss. One, movement equals improvement. In order to reduce inflammation and burn off glycogen released when stress hormones are present you must exercise moderately (when able) otherwise weight management will not happen. Second, your meal plan must meet the demands of reversing diabetes. Finally, taking the right supplements in adequate amounts will help you on your way.
Keep in mind that there is no magic bullet out there to get you where you need to go. Depending solely on supplements is a sure way to not meet your goals. Be sure to think of these recommendations as Sherpas helping you up the mountain of diabetes reversal.
The goal here is to nourish the body in such a way as to trigger your body's natural ability to reduce fat storage and induce fat cell destruction. Supplement recommendations will be divided into sections: Fat burning, appetite suppressants, increased satiety and energy production.
Thermogenic (fat burning):
● Green tea (or green tea extracts): used for thousands of years for a range of health benefits green tea and its extracts profoundly increases thermogenic activity in the body. This helps your body increase fat burning over a sustained period of time with no side effects (unless you are extremely sensitive to caffeine). 3-4 cups of green tea daily and/or 100 milligrams of green tea extract is recommended.
● Fucoxanthin: a component of fucoidan it is derived from edible seaweed. Asian cultures have used and consumed seaweed full of fucoxanthin for thousands of years and have experienced wonderful health benefits as a result. In recent years it has been gaining more and more interest for its thermogenic powers with new human studies supporting this claim. It is also noted for its ability decrease the body's ability to store abdominal and liver fat. 5 milligrams three times daily is recommended.
Appetite Suppressants:
● L-tryptophan and 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP): these amino acids help to control carbohydrate and sugar cravings by helping the body produce more serotonin which naturally deters these cravings. 50-100 milligrams one to three times daily or 100-300 milligrams before bed. Serotonin Max may be a good place to start. *Special note: if you are taking a SSRI antidepressants or triptans for migraines please consult with your physician before taking these supplements.
● N-acetyl L-tyrosine: a naturally occurring amino acid that helps the body increase
dopamine and norepinephrine which decreases appetite and improves mood. 500-2,000 milligrams daily taken on an empty stomach usually does the trick. Avoid taking in the late afternoon as it may interfere with sleep.
Increase Satiety:
● Fiber: fiber does so many wonderful things for the body like help control sugar levels through various mechanisms but the focus here will be on feeling full. Both soluble and insoluble fiber play a significant role in this process. It is recommended that most people consume at least 30 grams per day (most only get about 14 grams per day). A high quality fiber supplement split up over the course of the day (10 grams 3x daily) will assist with feeling full, reduce cravings and moderate blood sugar levels.
Increase Energy:
● Acetyl L-carnitine: supports, protects and regenerates mitochondria and mitochondrial functions. It is also able to cross the blood-brain barrier to support and energize brain cells and increase the number of neurotransmitters in the brain. Increased energetic output and mitochondrial function (where energy is produced) helps to reduce weight through desiring to move and then doing so!
*Before beginning any supplement regime it is best that you consult your primary healthcare practitioner or doctor.

Weighing in at more than 700 pages, Virus Research and Defense is the literal "brain dump" of Peter Szor, a renowned virus expert. Nothing else even comes close in terms of giving the reader the ultimate in virus analysis theory and practice. The book is split into the familiar dichotomy: attack methods and defense methods. In the first section, Szor sets the stage for his epic work, not only providing the computer science and mathematical theories underlying computer viruses (e.g., John von Neumann's automata models), but also recounting their history starting with the "Creeper" virus in the early 1970s. "Species" of viruses--each dedicated a separate section--are organized in a logical hierarchy.

And the story goes on... forever.This trope is where a character on a TV series is still alive off-screen (referred to by on-screen characters, writes letters, etc.) but his/her actor has died after their character was Put on a Bus. Contrast Bus Crash, where the character who was Put on a Bus dies, and Back for the Dead, where the bus and actor come back, only for the character to die right away. The Other Darrin is a possible solution to this, but sometimes is avoided out of respect for the actor. Not to be confused with Released to Elsewhere, where a character dies, and his killer tells us they were put on a Long Bus Trip. The inversion is McLeaned (when the character is Killed Off for Real, because the actor left).

December 5, 1933: Prohibition Ends
On this day in 1933, prohibition ended with the ratification of the 21st Amendment, which achieved the mandatory three-fourths majority of states' approval with support from Utah, Pennsylvania, and Ohio.
Subsequently, the 18th Amendment was repealed after it was passed during the prohibition and temperance movements in the early 19th century. This activism initially stemmed from the concern about the effects of alcohol abuse.
Check out a video collection from Ken Burns's Prohibition film to discover the rise and fall of the prohibition era.

With the Philadelphia Phillies and pitching coach Rich Dubee deciding to go their separate ways, Philadelphia's hunt for a replacement continues.
While Philadelphia is still looking for their new pitching coach, Dubee has already interviewed with the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday. Working with guys like Cole Hammels, Roy Halladay, Cliff Lee and Jonathan Papelbon during his time with the organization had to be a dream come true talent wise.
Moving on from those guys will be a big step for Dubee, but he did an amazing job with that rotation and the guys in the bullpen.
According to MLB.com, a possible interviewee could be Rod Nichols, a man who was Philadelphia's bullpen coach last season. Others who are on the list of candidates are Miami Marlins bullpen coach Reid Cornelius, Triple-A coach Ray Burris and Atlanta Braves pitching coach Roger McDowell.
McDowell would probably be their best option, but he could possibly be staying put in Atlanta for right now.
Besides their search for their next pitching coach, I'm pretty excited to see Ryne Sandberg out for a full season as a big league manager. I felt as if the Cubs should have hired him on, but they decided to pass up on him and go with Quade then Sveum.
Their loss. Goodluck to Ryne Sandberg and the Philadelphia Phillies next season.
Hopefully they can stay healthy.

These Soldier Free Verse poems are examples of Free Verse poems about Soldier. These are the best examples of Soldier Free Verse poems written by international PoetrySoup poets
A Tribute to Jayson, My Brave Warrior
My dear son, Jayson
When you called late last night to let me know
You were deploying to go overseas tomorrow
In spite of my great resolve
I broke down and sobbed.
The little boy I lovingly nurtured
So witty and good-natured
So kind, compassionate, and loving
You'll always be my sweet boy
Even though the world now sees you as a grown man.
Recalling special times when I showered your baby face with kisses
Or tickled your armpits
Howling with laughter, you would beg me
"Do it again, Mommy, I love it!"
I remember all those moments we had
At times rocky, sometimes sad
But most of all memorable and enjoyable.
I remember your growing pains
All your questions, anxieties, and mixed-up emotions
Yes, we made it through hurdles you and I
Making me laugh, making me cry
But taking that journey together was quite priceless!
You're now a strong, valiant, young man
Willingly putting your life on the line
Many have thanked you for your service
And, my brave warrior, I am so proud of you
When I hear your humble, heartfelt reply, "Glad to do it!"
You're just simply the best!
While you took a minute to leave the nest
I'm grateful for the extra time we were given
But I know
It's time to let you go –
Go take your rightful place in the world.
You've grown wings like a fierce eagle
It's your time to fly high! Now soar!
But remember that you are always a part of me
And even though we may no longer hold hands
We are still holding hearts.
These tear-splattered pages
Reflect my anguished heart
Knowing you're prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice for your country
I pray that you will return to me safe and sound
I love you, my hero - my precious son.
¡Vaya con Dios!
Lonely I was when I stood staring at the sky
Had a gun in my hand, was too afraid to cry
Fought bitter battles and never lived to tell
How at the altar of freedom, my body fell
My soul searches for reasons as to why I died
Did I save my people, had I tried?
Do they remember me, my deeds, my name
Are they proud of me or did I bring them shame
My battered body stood testimony to my fate
My heart had stopped in a battle brought about by hate
I had screamed in pain, and shivered with fright
But before I died, I did put up a fight
Remember me, my beloved country
It was I, my men, who brought you victory
I fought to the last bullet in my gun
I was a soldier, I was your son
I have seen the "corners of the world,"
heard the songs of many languages.
I have helped bring peace from many wars,
and played with the poor children of many countries.
I have tasted the fine wines, spirits and beers,
ate the feasts fit for a king, scraps, and dry meal.
I have seen the militias of other countries,
and the destruction of towns and cities due to war.
I have experienced Many Things,
exciting, horrible, memorable and painstakingly unforgettable.
As I lay on my hospital cot,
I slip in and out of consciousness.
I think about the things I have done in my life,
and yet the things I haven't.
My family, my parents, marriage and kids.
I've made my parents proud,
became someone by raising in ranks.
I've brought safety to my country,
joy and pride to my friends and family.
But I haven't had the chance,
to watch my kids grow up and start their life.
To play baseball with my son and coach his soccer team,
to take my daughter shopping or threaten their dates.
I haven't had the chance
to live on in retirement.
To meet my grandchildren and spoil them,
with stories and watch their faces light up.
As I lay looking up at the white
Red Cross tent canvas,
I think about the regrets
that many soldiers grasp, struggle, and
try to push away,
but still continue to crave.
As a soldier goes to leave this world,
there's always those final regrets.
They could be such as the want for
one last cigarette,
one last drink,
one last song,
or even one last intament companion.
Still with different beings,
there are different regrets.
Always one last something,
tangible or not,
something to go away happy,
peaceful minded, blissed, and
*Note: This poem was inspired by Mr. L.A. Meyers who wrote the "Bloody Jack" Series
The Quote of Inspiration: "Trouble is, as a soldier goes to leave this world, he always
has some regrets-- he
still wants one more smoke, one more drink, one more song..." His breathing is becoming
more labored and I
know he is weakenin. "...and one more girl."
I made this to mold any military branch and both females and males.
Thoust message rings,
But it is a wretched beauty.
Sew up thine tongue;
It forks in many directions,
Ensnaring, passing through the centers,
Weaving a thread gleaming, deceivingly white,
Yet drenched in the black goo,
The sticky gobs of our source, our blood.
Cast aside thine needle,
Let time make it blunt.
Wallow in thine sorrow,
But only for a moment.
Up, up with you!
The sticky gobs cannot protect thee.
See me, Hear me.
For I see thee...
Thou hast split thine tongue
To hide, to forget.
Thine forked words, black to all, clear to me.
Go on, go ahead,
Walk through its enveloping black.
And when you cannot run,
And when you can't do that anymore,
Find someone to carry you.
Thou art strong!
Let thine center give you new feet!
If even thine center falls weary,
I shalt be thine legs.
I shalt carry you, my friend.

'In India, a new Revolution is in the offing'
A New Hope shown by Anna Hazare in India
A new torch is there in your hands, dear Anna Hazare*,
A torch by which you are waking up the souls
Of millions and millions of our sleeping citizens.
To wake up and to remove the curses created by many of our
Corrupt bureaucrats and down to earth polluted politicians,
Such people inspire only directly or indirectly in my country
Violence, crime, corruption, and greedy coalitions.
No words are sufficient to thank you, O soldier of Gandhi,
As by non-violence, only Gandhi wanted to change the society.
God has given you an opportunity to do something,
O bold soldier
Several hundred thousands are standing with you and
Millions would join your campaign for removing the curse of corruption,
Effecting our country and many countries of the world,
All these are the result of ever-increasing greed and misdeeds of many such bureaucrats and politicians,
Such people are ruining many countries of the world by their
Ever increasing lustful temptations for money and greed for power and pelf.
In an era when the world is facing its new Renaissance of knowledge and awakening,
We salute your guts and efforts to bring a wind of change in my country.
Just keep walking with the torch of courage and hopes you have lighted,
As millions and millions more are waiting to join your efforts or
Waiting to start a campaign like this in every country,
As all the nations of the world are facing the tortures created by unworthy bureaucrats
and politicians.
Keep the torch high to light up the nation with a new light,
Our dear soldier Anna Hazare.
Kanpur India 08th April 2011
Anna Hazare* . Anna Hazare is a 73 years old man and one of India's
well-acclaimed social activists. A former soldier in the Indian army,
Anna is well known and respected for upgrading the ecology and
economy of the village of Ralegan Siddhi which is located in the
drought prone Ahmednagar district of Maharashtra state
An old man looking out his door,
gaze fixed on a distant shore,
reminiscing to a time, not of happiness,
or, the prospect of a bright future,
to when he was sick to his very core,
to when as a youth, he went to war
A time before infallibility had meaning,
patriotism and bravado the craze,
the future was still unknown,
vigor for life at its all time high,
a time for romance, partying, buying,
no thought of pain, deformity, dying
Too young to understand or question,
ship to foreign shore, medals abound,
will impress the girls next time in town,
sacrifice not temporary,
forever more,
a legacy etched into a wall, few will remember,
flesh shredded, burned, torn,
families mourn
A time, when he willingly went to war,
will happen no more,
all lost in youth, now unrelenting,
no blind obedience,
minimal risk,
long life, his number one ambition
As he turns back from the door,
he thinks of the youth,
here now, soon no more,
lessons never learned,
the call to war,
to common the roar,
complacency the mood,
another generation removed
The old man agonizes
over what was originally not known,
war is preventable,
life too precious to waste,
the solution simple,
his vision, maybe too late
Send old men to the front to fight,
arthritis, heart disease, poor eyesight,
let the youth enjoy their life,
his near over, its only right
Send old men, to the front, to fight
ask them to give up their life,
patriotism and bravado, still alive,
will and desire would not last the night,
old men do not rush to death in their twilight,
failure inevitable, the old man smiles,
knows he's right
Wars not possible,
if old men, are sent to fight
as the hypocrite talking head
seeking re-election in 2012
tells us all that this empire (which continues to wield its
sledge hammer upon the world)
this "land of the free"
(who demands that all others follow in its
is one which "unlike the old empires,"
does not force its will upon the people of this planet
"for territory or resources,"
a soldier watching
shoves their finger down their throat
forcing themselves to vomit up the
utterly visceral disgust
which accompanies the knowledge that
s/he has taken part in making Iraq
the soldier is coming home to a country
whose chose the spending of money on
bashing Afghanistan & Iraq
to be more important than providing employment,
universal healthcare,
affordable housing or
a decent education system
to its own citizens---
instead we have taken pleasure in killing those abroad
so that they will be forced to be like us---
so that one day they can have
skyrocketing unemployment,
no health care,
no affordable housing or
a decent education system
(that is, if they don't already reside in such a state as a
product of our entrance & extraction of all their
resources for use within our borders).
He celebrated his enlistment
And proudly showed the pictures of his plane,
A screaming bird emblazoned with the stars
And stripes. He joked about our home fried chicken
And kissed his baby sister, promising
To bring back toys and treats from foreign lands.
He believed in freedom, said that all
The people of the world should have that chance;
The Viet Cong would rue the day
The soldiers of America marched across their land.
They brought him home in pieces,
Shielded in a casket closed, draped
With the flag he bravely served.
We take the roses to his grave,
Red and white and bound with ribbons blue;
We weep, not alone for him,
But for the "huddled masses yearning to breath free,"
And for the valiant efforts that may have been in vain.
Hark! It is he!
A slate face; devoid!
Mechanical, computing, sleepless.
No! Just human!
Turning, just turning!
He will not fall, now expressionless.
The dark gazeth!
Yet, he wont gaze back!
Four days, sleepless, faceless, for all!
His face is stone.
No care, there's no care!
Persist amidst all of the loss.
It is but he!
No! Tireless;
designed to be.
It is but he!
Shrug the abyss,
he will nev'r fail;
a perfection,
designed to be.
Shrug the abyss.
Through it all,
he leaveth none for all!
To see the end of it all,
the completion of it all!
None but all.
Four days sleepless,
it is none but he!
Faceless, breathless, mechanized.
Look! See him now!
With bags under eyes.
See him now, the man with no face.
It is he,
Be it so! Be it so!
To see the end of it;
the destruction of it all!
It is he.
Running, after more than you, can hold.
Taking, someone else's love, and leaving.
Children are fearful of what they're told.
Can't you see I'm the one who's freezing?
I was just a child with a trinket
Never knowing that it'd be, more to me
When you were gone to, too far, from me.
Steady with your hands close to my heart
Never letting our world's tear us apart
I know, your icicles
I miss the beaches that we played on
You missed the child in your own eyes
Now you're gone,
But I'm still not here.
Why can't you wake up
I'm not ready
Please, just take your time, don't leave now
I can't fight this world alone.

The Business of Security is the Business
Why integrators must focus on their customers' business need, not just the customer's security needs
Methodology and Metrics: Templates for managing the data that is derived from the people, processes or tools including the network, applications and/or the sources that are being monitored, will lead to reports that begin to connect to organizational goals for budget optimization, process optimization and velocity (Service Time to Value).
A 'next-generation' integrator for the 'next-generation' security executive will be able to articulate all of these in a manner that relates to the client's organizational objectives because 'the business of security is the business.'
Phil Aronson is president and chief executive officer of ASG. He is a member of the American Society of Industrial Security (ASIS), is on the advisory board of the Security Executive Council (SEC), Security Innovations Partner, host of The ASG Security Summit & Expo and co-founder of The Great Conversation.
