sex, who prefer littler women. But if she was a Maypole, she had beautiful roses about her head, and it is a fact that many swains were disposed to dance round her. She was ordinarily pale, with a faint rose tinge in her cheeks; but they flushed up in a minute when occasion called, and continued so blushing ever so long, the roses remaining after the emotion had passed away which had summoned those pretty flowers into existence. Her eyes have been described as very large from her earliest childhood, and retained that characteristic in later life. Goodnatured critics (always females) said that she was in the habit of making play with those eyes, and ogling the gentlemen and ladies in her company; but the fact is, that Nature had made them so to shine and to look, and they could no more help so looking and shining than one star can help being brighter than another. It was doubtless to mitigate their brightness that Miss Laura's eyes were provided with two pairs of veils in the shape of the longest and finest black eyelashes, so that, when she closed her eyes, the same people who found fault with those orbs said that she wanted to show her eyelashes off; and, indeed, I dare say that to see her asleep would have been a pretty sight.
As for her complexion, that was nearly as brilliant as Lady Mantrap's, and without the powder which her ladyship uses. Her nose must be left to the reader's imagination: if her mouth was rather large (as Miss Piminy avers, who, but for her known appetite, one would think could not swallow anything larger than a button) everybody allowed that her smile was charming, and showed off a set of pearly teeth, whilst her voice was so low and sweet, that to hear it was like listening to sweet music. Because she is in the habit of wearing very long dresses, people of course say that her feet are not small: but it may be, that they are of the size becoming her figure, and it does not follow, because Mrs. Pincher is always putting her foot out, that all other ladies should be perpetually bringing theirs on the tapis. In fine, Miss Laura Bell, at the age of sixteen, was a sweet young lady. Many thousands of such are to be found, let us hope, in this country, where there is no lack of goodness, and modesty, and purity, and beauty.
Now, Miss Laura, since she had learned to think for herself (and in the past two years her mind and her person had both developed themselves considerably), had only been half pleased with Pen's general conduct and bearing. His letters to his mother at home had become of late very rare and short. It was in vain that the fond widow urged how constant Arthur's occupations and studies were, and how many his engagements. "It is better that he should lose a prize," Laura said, "than forget his mother: and indeed, mamma, I don't see that he gets many prizes. Why doesn't he come home and stay with you, instead of passing his vacations at his great friends' fine houses? There is nobody there will love him half as much as -- as you do." -- "As I do only, Laura," sighed out Mrs. Pendennis. Laura declared stoutly that she did not love Pen a bit when he did not do his duty to his mother: nor would she be convinced by any of Helen's fond arguments, that the boy must make his way in the world; that his uncle was most desirous that Pen should cultivate the acquaintance of persons who were likely to befriend him in life; that men had a thousand ties and calls which women could not understand, and so forth. Perhaps Helen no more believed in these excuses than her adopted daughter did; but she tried to believe that she believed them, and comforted herself with the maternal infatuation. And that is a point whereon, I suppose, many a gentleman has reflected, that, do what we will, we are pretty sure of the woman's love that once has been ours; and that that untiring tenderness and forgiveness never fail us.
Also, there had been that freedom, not to say audacity, in Arthur's latter talk and ways which had shocked and displeased Laura. Not that he ever offended her by rudeness, or addressed to her a word which she ought not to hear, for Mr. Pen was a gentleman, and by nature and education polite to every woman, high and low; but he spoke lightly and laxly of women in general; was less courteous

I always like to add a little bit of my thought process on my NGD's so here goes. As many of you know, I burn thru guitars. I seriously keep newspapers longer (obviously thats a joke, who has newspapers??). I would like to think I am very particular as to what I like but I think its more of a GAS issue. One guitar that I do have, and have had for about a year (which is a MAJOR accomplishment for me) is a Paul's Guitar. While there are several things I love about that guitar, one thing that stands out to me, above anything else, is it's tone. Now I'm not the type of guy who believes my tone is better than yours or that there is only one good tone but there is a tone I hear in my head that I try to achieve when I set up my amp/guitars. I believe all guitar players are that way. Look at David Grissom..perfect tone for him..not my tone, but absolutely perfect for him. All guitars players are like that, it could be a Clapton or Deville! With the Paul's guitar I can get my tone. So I decided I needed another guitar with that ability, hence the 408. I thought about another Paul's guitar, but the fundage was not there plus I was hoping that the 408 would be a bit hotter in the bridge, which it is. Anyway, I got the 408 on Wednesday and can't put it down. The pickup switching is easy (I like the toggle switches over the push/pull) and can get a plethora of very usable tones. The pattern neck feels perfect to me. Here are the specs from the MODCAT..
Model: 408 Maple/Std Model
Top Wood: Maple
Frets: 22
Top Spec: Figured Maple
Top Grade: Ten Top
Neck Wood: Mahogany
Neck Carve: Pattern (Wide/Fat)
Fingerboard Wood: Honduran Rosewood
Inlay: 2013 Birds
Bridge: Tremolo or 2-Piece Bridge
Color: Armando's Amethyst
Hardware: Nickel
Treble Pickup: 408 or Bass
Middle Pickup: none
Bass Pickup: 408 or Bass
Electronics: 408
Not sure how I scored the Honduran RW fretoard, but I love it! Color looks great with a natural back also! On to the pics!

Help with Pentax K-r as a gift
Started Aug 2, 2011 | Discussions thread
Shop cameras & lenses ▾
Senior Member • Posts: 1,740 • Gear list
If he likes manual mode then the K-R can work well for him, and raw is even better. I don't know him, but he has a zoom on the Canon and the kit lens can give good results, just stop it down a bit (think f/8). The K-R has very good high ISO capabilities, so f/8 is much more doable than on the Canon G-9. You are right about the IQ of the 35mm though. Will he feel constrained by the prime when he is used to a zoom? I have the Sigma 10-20mm and like it, but will he use it much? Maybe better to get the standard kit lens and add the 35mm f/2.4 instead of the 10-20mm. Let him decide if he wants an ultra wide or a tele zoom.
I'm thankful to still be able to...

The Survivor: JANE FONDA
Shears, Jake, Out
Scissor Sisters' Jake Shears used to watch Jane Fondas workout video when he was 3. Now he gets to ask his idol about life, love, and a Barbarella sequel.
Jake shears: You were nominated for a Tony for your performance in Moisés Kaufman's 33 Variations, which just transferred to L. A. How's itgoing?
JANE FONDA: I'm glad we're almost through. I don't think I'll do another one again. It just takes over your life. I wake up and I feel like a truck ran over me, and then I have to do the play again.
33 Variations is your first show in a long time.
In 46 years. I did four plays in the early '60s. My father loved live theater, and to the extent that he ever talked about anything with joy, it was theater. And here I had done four plays, and none of them were enjoyable or meant anything to me. So as I'm in my dotage, I thought, I don'twant to die without understanding what my father saw in live theater, whatitwas thatit gave him. This script came along, and it was something that touched my heart very much. And, sure enough, I loved the experience. I love getting the feedback from the audience. I love the community that's created because it's unlike movies. You can do a movie with somebody and never meet them. [Laughs] So I'm glad I did it. It was a success. And I don't want to do it again because there are too many things in life I like to do.
Like 17 million other kids, my mom had your workout video when I was a kid. We had lots of movies, but my favorite tape to play was your workout.
Because you did it with your mom?
No, without her even there. I would just want to sit there and watch itwhen I was 3.
And watch it?
I just liked to watch the pretty ladies in their fun leotards dance around to the music.
That is hysterical.
As you know, I was a massive fan of yours growing up. I was actos child. Then, soon after you did Old Gringo you left the movies for a while. Do you remember the moment when you said, "I want to be in a movie again"?
I knew I wanted to leave around 1988 because I was so unhappy. I don't know about you, but I find it very, very hard to be creative when I'm deeply unhappy as a human being. As an actor, the only instrument you have is yourself. You don't have a violin; you don't have a canvas and a paintbrush. You have your own psyche, your own body. And I just felt like I wanted to die. So I decided to just leave. And then I met Ted Turner. On our second date, he said, "If this is going to work, you're not going tobe able to have a career." And then he said, "Of course, you're not going to give up your career until you've won an Oscar." I said, "Ted, I've got two." He didn't know. But I wanted to see if I could have a successful relationship if I wasn't working. I thought maybe that was what had gone wrong with the others - that I was away so much. And then Ted and I split up, and I began to write my memoirs. Writing my life changed me because I realized that there was a there there. I always thought that there wasn't, and that I was only what the man I was with wanted me to be. It doesn't matter how famous one is. If you feel like crap - if you feel that you aren't anybody because that's the way you've been brought up- then that's the way it is.
And then in 2000 1 was asked to be a presenter at the Oscars, and I said to my best friend who made the call, "But I'm not in the business anymore. Why would I do that?" And she said, "You're going to do it, and Vera Wang is going to make you a dress. And Sally Hershberger is going to cut your hair." Well, it turned out that that was my second hair epiphany, the first being Klute [Fonda made headlines after attending the 1972 Oscar ceremony in the same heavily fringed shag she rocked in Klute]. …

- Through the concerted efforts of concerned and united Catawba County citizens and North Carolina educational leaders, on April 3, 1958, Catawba Valley Community College was established by the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction as the ninth school of its kind in the state. In July 1963. the General Assembly of North Carolina enacted into law G.S. 115A which provided for the establishment of the present North Carolina System of Community Colleges. On January 9, 1964, Catawba Valley Technical Institute was among the original seven institutes chartered by the Department. At that time, CVTI established its own Board of Trustees and began operation as a member of the Department of Community Colleges. Thus, it was in August 1964, that the College awarded its first Associate Degree in Applied Science. Catawba Valley Community College, located about half way between Hickory and Newton on Highways 70 and 321, is in Catawba County, North Carolina. The campus covers 120 acres and includes ten buildings for a total of 270.000 square feet of floor space. In addition, there is a college Art Center on the Startown Highway, an Education Center in downtown Newton, the Alexander County Center, Balls Creek Center, and an East Campus. CVCC offers a variety of education programs including but not limited to the following: College Transfer, Automotive Systems, Business, Criminal Justice, Engineering Technology, Environmental Life Science, Furniture Technology, Health Science, Humanities, Industrial Technologies, Mathematics, Science, Social Science, Corporate & Continuing Education. CVCC offers a variety of vocational and technical education programs that can be completed in two years or less. Our College transfer programs are designed to give students the first two years of a four-year college education. A student's experience at Catawba Valley Community College does not begin and end in the classroom. Various activities, opportunities, and functions of a social and professional nature are offered by Student Government in order to provide a well rounded campus atmosphere. The College encourages participation in student organizations and activities. Programs sponsored include Fall and Spring Flings, N4C SGA conferences, co-curricular activities, NJCAA women's volleyball and NJCAA men's basketball and much more.

UFC champ Jon Jones says he'd 'kill' NFL rogue Richie Incognito
When Jones was asked on a radio show to give the Dolphins 'bully' a good, old-fashioned ass whooping, the pound-for-pound king said, 'It would be my honor.'
The best pound-for-pound fighter in the world said he would 'kill" Miami Dolphins alleged bully Richie Incognito Tuesday on 'The Sports Junkies," a radio show in Washington, D.C.
The kicker is that Jones ackowledged on the show that he does not even know who Incognito is. So one of the hosts gave some background and explained Incognito to Jones.
'He's just this big meathead . . . Probably 6'3, 6'4, 340. So if it's Richie Incognito against Jon Jones, what's gonna happen?"
Jones' reply?
'I'd kill him . . . Someone tweet him and let him know I'd smoke him easy," Jones told the show's hosts.
Again, Jones had no idea who Incognito was. He didn't hear about the offensive lineman's alleged reportedly horrible treatment of his teammate Martin or his yelling the n-word during a bar rage or him allegedly rubbing a golf club on a woman&'s private parts during an event at a country club.
Talk about Incognito has monopolized every sports television for the past 10 days, yet somehow Jones has never heard of the guy. Maybe Jones isn't a big sports or TV fan. That&'s fine. But both of Jones' brothers are in the NFL. It had to come up in conversation at some point, right? Guess not.
Anyway, hypothetically speaking, Jones said he would be able to easily handle the 320-pound former Pro Bowler if the two got into a scrap when the hosts begged the champ to give him a good ass whoopin'.
'It would be my honor," Jones said. 'I'm gonna start threatening him on Twitter today."
That never actually happened, likely because Jones forgot Incognito's name before the interview was over.
Bullying is obviously not an issue in the world of MMA because the intended victim is liable to spinning back fist the bully upside the head.

Fashion Designer Joann Berman Creates Trippy 3D Furniture from Vintage Sofas in Queens
Posted By Yuka Yoneda On February 21, 2012 @ 9:01 am In Art NYC,Brooklyn,Interiors,Product Design,Queens | No Comments
The best way to describe Joann Berman Bespoke Furniture [8] is that it looks like Berman simply replaced the people she usually dresses with pieces of furniture. A beautiful baroque style sofa gets "dressed" in dayglo fabric and a run-of-the-mill 70s lounger gets a reclaimed anaconda facelift. Berman could have simply stopped there but it wouldn't be like her to do so. So she pushed the envelope a bit further, layering intricate and at times 3-D graphics of men in gasmasks, delicate French toile [9], and of course, Mick Jagger [10] over top.
"I was very inspired by cannibals and the colors they use particularly the Tupi Guarani [11] of Brasil, so I mixed those two metaphors," Berman told us. The pieces are all a mix of art murals and vintage chair frames, with found and reclaimed fabrics like snakeskin given to Berman by a friend mixed in.
As with her clothing [6], Berman chooses to make everything in her beloved NYC, which is as much a conscious design decision as it is an ethical one. "I work in a very moment by moment fashion and I change things as I go so it's much more a design mixes art process which is why I like to have everything at my disposal on site," she explained.
Joann Berman Bespoke Furniture is available at Allan and Suzi [12] in Manhattan and custom orders can also be requested through her website [13].

We filed a motion to dismiss this case filed against importers of "foreign" versions of textbooks against one of the publishers of those textbooks. The main issue involves the applicability of the First Sale Doctrine to such situations, which the Supreme Court has agreed to review with respect to the Costco-Swatch copyright case. The motion, however, was based on jurisdiction: Why does this case against a Minnesota defendant take place in New York?
There are other potential issues too, though, as the answer--and particularly the affirmative defenses--suggests. But we have made this motion to dismiss on the grounds that there is no personal jurisdiction in the Southern District of New York over a Minnesota resident, even if he does ship some merchandise to New York through a routine Internet order.
The court was not moved and continued the trend toward universal District Court jurisdiction and venue on all copyright cases.

The City of Corpus Christi selects the full Infor Lawson suite to keep pace with rapidly changing technology trends and savvy constituents.
The City of Corpus Christi—located on the Corpus Christi Bay in Texas—has selected the full Infor Lawson suite to replace its current PeopleSoft enterprise resource planning (ERP) system.
The City of Corpus Christi was drawn to Infor's user-friendly systems, inherent flexibility, social and mobile technologies, and multi-platform capabilities. These qualities deliver real-time connectivity and the ability to manage operations within a single, unified system.
"With our current ERP system, we have as many as 80 different disparate interfaces city-wide. Anytime we make a change it breaks an interface, which is expensive and difficult to maintain," said Michael Armstrong, CIO, City of Corpus Christi. "Infor ION will help to remedy these issues because it will flexibly connect both our Infor and third-party systems, allowing real-time information transfer so we can report horizontally across our organization and eliminate data silos."
To better serve its increasingly tech-savvy demographic of constituents, city stakeholders also selected: Infor Workforce Management, Infor Corporate Performance Management, Infor Expense Management, Infor ION, and Infor Onboarding—part of the Infor Enwisen HR Service Delivery suite of products—all hosted within the Infor Business Cloud.
Additional benefits of the City of Corpus Christi's implementation include:
- A cloud-based system means reduced reliance on internal hardware infrastructure, and decreased costs of IT support and maintenance.
- Flexible applications allow greater efficiency and enhanced visibility into citywide operations.
- Automatic data transfers increase accuracy and decrease the amount of manual entry work
- Elevated connectivity between financial processes such as billing, accounts payable, cash management, and day-to-day operations.
Infor understands how the public sector differs from the private sector, particularly in regard to financials, which allows us to deliver solutions with industry-specific transparency and reporting needs in mind," said Kevin Curry, SVP, public sector, Infor. "Our product suite is tailored for customers like the City of Corpus Christi who are looking for the latest technology—cloud, mobility, social applications—but also want something that's reliable and will continue to meet their changing needs in the future."

Additional Information
Important InformationAbout Asociación Arariwa
Asociación Arariwa is a large non-governmental organization that started offering microcredit in 1994 to improve the quality of life, skills and equity of the population in the rural Cusco region of Peru. Arariwa serves the southern Andean provinces of Peru, and is distinguished by its efforts to reach the very poor, who often live in isolated rural areas. Arariwa fosters village banking, supports savings accounts, promotes access to education, and empowers women entrepreneurs (who make up 78% of its borrowers).
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Variant Surface Glycoprotein gene repertoires in Trypanosoma brucei have diverged to become strain-specific

BMC Genomics 2007, 8:234 doi:10.1186/1471-2164-8-234Published: 13 July 2007
In a mammalian host, the cell surface of African trypanosomes is protected by a monolayer of a single variant surface glycoprotein (VSG). The VSG is central to antigenic variation; one VSG gene is expressed at any one time and there is a low frequency stochastic switch to expression of a different VSG gene. The genome of Trypanosoma brucei contains a repertoire of > 1000 VSG sequences. The degree of conservation of the genomic VSG repertoire in different strains has not been investigated in detail.
Eighteen expressed VSGs from Ugandan isolates were compared with homologues (> 40 % sequence identity) in the two available T. brucei genome sequences. Fourteen homologues were present in the genome of Trypanosoma brucei brucei TREU927 from Kenya and fourteen in the genome of T. b. gambiense Dal972 from Cote d'Ivoire. The Ugandan VSGs averaged 71% and 73 % identity to homologues in T. b. brucei and T. b. gambiense respectively. The sequence divergence between homologous VSGs from the three different strains was not random but was more prevalent in the parts of the VSG believed to interact with the host immune system on the living trypanosome.
It is probable that the VSG repertoires in the different isolates contain many common VSG genes. The location of divergence between VSGs is consistent with selection for strain-specific VSG repertoires, possibly to allow superinfection of an animal by a second strain. A consequence of strain-specific VSG repertoires is that any vaccine based on large numbers of VSGs from a single strain will only provide partial protection against other strains.

I don't think washing FB print is a waste of water, but I want to do it more efficiently.
That depends on how many 10" X 8" prints you are washing?

Jim Harbaugh and Trent Baalke had A.J. Jenkins targeted as their first-round pick all along. But WRs like Randle, Quick and Hill were still on the board. Did they make the right pick?
Is 2012 the year the Ravens get over the playoff hump? They'll have to do it without Terrell Suggs for much of the year, and the burden of his absence will be given to second-rounder Courtney Upshaw.
The Detroit Lions spent 2011 with the football in the air, with one of the NFL's best passing attacks and worst run games. With Jahvid Best and Mikel Leshoure back healthy, that could change in '12.

CEI Today: TSA Body Scanners and Our Petition
CEI is involved in litigation to force the TSA to hear public comments and concerns about airport body scanners. In a related effort, the Cato Institute's Jim Harper has launched a Whitehouse.gov petition to get the White House involved. According to White House rules, 25,000 signatures are needed before Friday.
We petition the obama administration to:
Require the Transportation Security Administration to Follow the Law!
In July 2011, a federal appeals court ruled that the Transportation Security Administration had to conduct a notice-and-comment rulemaking on its policy of using "Advanced Imaging Technology" for primary screening at airports. TSA was supposed to publish the policy in the Federal Register, take comments from the public, and justify its policy based on public input. The court told TSA to do all this "promptly." A year later, TSA has not even started that public process. Defying the court, the TSA has not satisfied public concerns about privacy, about costs and delays, security weaknesses, and the potential health effects of these machines. If the government is going to "body-scan" Americans at U.S. airports, President Obama should force the TSA to begin the public process the court ordered. 4701 signatures needed by August 09, 2012 to reach goal of 25,000

text: With advances in cancer treatment, patients face far more complex decisions today than the past. As a result, hospitals across the country are hiring nurses or other professionals to help patients navigate their way through the medical system. The job of a navigator is not only to explain breast cancer, answer questions and arrange doctors' appointments, but also to counsel patients through the terror of a cancer diagnosis, show them how they can survive it, and guide them through their journey. There is no extra charge for the service. It's part of the health care package. Barbara LiPira, vice president of oncology services at Presbyterian Cancer Center in Charlotte, NC, said it's worth the cost. "It's more than a feel-good program," she said. "It's a better way to care for patients." Patient navigation started in 1990 at Harlem Hospital Center in New York, where Dr. Harold Freeman hoped to reduce health disparities by improving access to cancer screening and reducing barriers faced by low-income, African-American women.

My son was born FEB 2012 with Hypospadias. We are first time parents to say the least knowing my 8month old would have to have surgery scared the crap out of me! Dr.Frimberger has a wonderful bedside manor! Answered any questions I may have had, and did not make me feel stupid/ignorant for asking. Day of the surgery was very stressful, but he explained everything to expect from this surgery!
Dr Frimberger is the kindest most caring Dr i know. He is like part of our family.
Dr. Frimberger and his staff was very professional. The length of our wait was better than expected giving the volume of patients. He and the nurses were very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions with a great positive attitude. He did an excellent job on the surgery, and even better at calming our child and us parents.
Our son was diagnosed with mid-shaft hypospadias soon after his birth. We were directed to Dr. Frimberger with excellent results. He was able to answer questions and explain aspects of the repairing procedure in layman's terms. We are very pleased with the result of the surgery. He asked that we follow-up with him in the coming years so that he can see how our son is developing, which we hope to do.
Dr. Frimberger..what can we say AWESOME about sums it up. We were concerned about surgery and having to have multiple surgeries at that. He was able to take care of her needs in one surgery which was Awesome. I wish she didn't have to go through this he is one of God's angels that is for sure. Thank you! Sincerely Mom of Nicole from Mcloud OK.
Corrected my son's hypospadius (sp?). We first saw a regular urologist that seemed like he was going to end up with a disfigured penis after the surgery. Dr. Firmberger's plan and execution were much better. You can hardly tell there was ever a problem. He's a very good doctor and we were blessed to have him.

In the aftermath of the Russian Revolution, when this work was made, materials were hard to come by. 'It was the height of civil war, hunger and disorder in Russia. To find any part of machinery ¿ was next to impossible', said Gabo. Originally made to demonstrate the principles of kinetics to his students, it reflects the artist's belief in a sculpture in which space and time were active components. A strip of metal is made to oscillate so that a standing wave is set up. This movement in real time creates the illusion of volumetric space.

As for the Cyclops comment, what is so stupid about that idea? Are you saying a little person shouldn't play a heroic character like Cyclops?
Yes. Because Cyclops is a tall, athletic young man and a world class pilot. His character is not appropriate for a dwarf actor anymore than it would be for a morbidly obese actor or a ridiculously tall one.
Thats what I mean. I think everyone should have the chance to play different roles. There can be heroic characters played by small people. that said, sometimes people just don't fit a role, and its because of physical attributes. A small person really can't play cyclops in a serious movie. A fat person can't play Reed Richards either, and a white guy would probably not be hired to play Black Panther. You can tweak characters sometimes, but there are limits.

Outside of JJ abrams and Nolan based Superhero movies I'm actually not all that negative in general (there is always exceptions, but those two things are really the only things that I tend to rant over).
Thats completely different. I never said I don't dislike other stuff. I gave Farscape a very fair chance, and it has a lot of positives. I don't go off on Farscape like Abrams or stuff like that. I'll mention I don't like it sometimes, but I don't rant or anything. It had an ok first season, and it had some great moments and characters. It also had writers that make George Lucas look skilled and characters so stupid they were basically female Jar Jar Binks characters. The way I feel about farscape is completely different then the blinding rage I feel about things like the JJ abrams movies that makes me rant about them.

BOSTON — When watching Kevin Love on TV or video, the man is an impressive talent.
Seeing him up close?
Even better.
But as good as Love is, his play - at least on Monday night - wasn't good enough as the Boston Celtics came away with a 101-97 win over the Timberwolves.
Love had a very Love-ly kind of game with 27 points and 14 rebounds, both game highs.
But the Celtics' defenders made him into a high-volume shooter, forcing him to take 26 shots (nine of which he made) in order to net 27 points.
"Obviously Kevin Love's in that elite group of guys that you really respect from the outside looking in," said Boston head coach Brad Stevens. "And when you get in the middle of it you respect him even more because he can do so many things."
While Boston's defense certainly played a role in Love's struggles shooting the ball on Monday, Minnesota being on a back-to-back and the fatigue factor that often comes with that, may have also contributed to his less-than-stellar performance.
"It's just a disappointing loss," said Timberwolves coach Rick Adelman. "We had every chance to win that game; couldn't make a lay-up, couldn't make a shot, for our starters it really was a struggle. We just missed too many opportunities that were right there for us."
Love had similar comments following the loss which prevented Minnesota (12-13) from going above-.500 for the first time since Nov. 23 when they were 8-7.
When asked if he felt they let Monday's game get away from them, Love replied, "Oh big time, big time. We beat that team a majority of the time we play them. Like they say, (bleep) happens."
He added, "I thought every shot I was taking was going to go in but it seemed like everyone was hitting the front rim and out. That was the story of the game."
That's partially true.
Another story line of the game at least when it relates to Love, was the fact that Boston's primary defender on him was Brandon Bass who was limited to less than 14 minutes because of foul trouble.
That left Stevens with no choice but to play Kris Humphries who has been in and out of the rotation all season, and rookie Kelly Olynyk who is making his way back from an ankle sprain that kept him out for 10 games.
"I thought Humphries did a phenomenal job off the bench for us on both ends of the floor, but certainly in guarding and defending Kevin Love," Stevens said. "He did as well as he could, and I certainly was very happy with that and I was very happy with how we guarded him on the last couple of out-of-bounds plays because obviously we thought that he was the go-to for three in those situations."
Said Humphries: "They go to him a lot. Not only does he go to the offensive glass every time. He' shooting 3s, he's posting up ... he's the main part of their offense. That's a difficult task."
And that doesn't even factor in the damage he can cause with his rebounding, something Stevens attributes to his much-improved conditioning since coming into the NBA.
"Kevin Love in transition, or on a broken play, is an unbelievable rebounder," Stevens said. "And it has to be sense, it has to be effort, and then it has to be the commitment he has made to make his body the best that it can be. He's one of the most highly conditioned big guys we'll play against all year. He presented a big problem."

Muslims are defecting from both parties in droves because they have seen that they are both willing to throw them under the bus the moment it's politically expedient.

I have a set of items with images, videos and .gif images that are displayed in a UIWebView that are being rendered dynamically when user scrolls to the bottom of the scree and reaches the end of the current UIScrollView offset. When downloading the items from the web I can display an activity indicator that makes user experience smooth and nice, but when I have all the data cached and retrieve it from cache I have a pretty annoying lag when all the items are being rendered at the same time (5 items per loading operation). My question is: Is it possible to somehow remove the lag from the UIScrollView when rendering items on it? And how can I display an activity indicator when rendering items on main thread? Specifically the lag happens when user scrolls to bottom, the scroll freezes, all items are rendered and scroll continues to go to bottom with the same force user has dragged it with.
P.S. I cannot use UITableView, so please do not suggest using it instead of scroll view.

Calling out 'Lincoln' inaccuracies: Earring holes, amendment votes and affairs
Daniel Day-Lewis as U.S. President Abraham Lincoln in 'Lincoln' (Photo: DreamWorks Pictures)
Connecticut Congressman Joe Courtney (Democrat) finally got around to screening "Lincoln" -- in theaters since November 9 -- over the weekend. But when he saw the movie's depiction of the landmark 13th Amendment vote, something seemed weird. The film depicts two Connecticut congressmen voting against the amendment that abolished slavery in 1865. "'Wow. Connecticut voted against abolishing slavery?'" audience members asked, Courtney recalled. "I obviously had the same reaction. It was really bugging me."
Courtney did some investigating and verified his hunch that those Connecticut congressmen depicted in the film -- and two more who weren't portrayed -- were actually key in the passage of the 13th Amendment. Connecticut voted for it across the board.
"How could congressmen from Connecticut — a state that supported President Lincoln and lost thousands of her sons fighting against slavery on the Union side of the Civil War — have been on the wrong side of history?" Courtney wrote in a letter to DreamWorks, urging the movie studio to correct the error before the film is released on Blu-Ray/DVD.
Hey, Lincoln Didn't Have Pierced Ears!
The few times Daniel Day-Lewis isn't spotted immersed in a film role, he is known to wear gold hoop earrings. Well, as some moviegoers have noticed, his piercings were visible in parts of "Lincoln."
One of Day-Lewis' piercings seems to appear at 1:17-in during this 'Lincoln' trailer:
The L.A. Times has offered some explanation:
Historical movies such as Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln" have placed a greater premium on authenticity in recent years, with on-set researchers ensuring that costumes, production design and language accurately reflect the age. Filmmakers, however, have a more difficult time making sure the contemporary appearance of their casts doesn't strain a movie's credibility.
As a poor 19th century French factory worker in "Les Misérables," Anne Hathaway incongruously shakes out the shiny, flowing tresses of a Pantene commercial. As a hard-drinking 1970s CIA agent in "Argo," Ben Affleck peels off his shirt to show a torso sculpted enough for a Men's Health cover. As a cigarette-smoking 1940s mafioso's paramour in "Gangster Squad," Emma Stone reveals an improbably pearly white smile.
Teeth whitening, plastic surgery, body piercings, weight training, healthful eating and yoga have made it a challenge to find the perfect period performer. Add the unforgiving nature of high-definition video on which more movies are made and seen and the emergence of visually savvy audiences, and you often have a recipe for historical dissonance.
Day-Lewis' ears and the miscast amendment votes in Spielberg's awards season film are rather glaring once pointed out, but other mistakes some have noticed seem less offensive. These are other purported "Lincoln" inaccuracies:

Copenhagen (final day +1): Summit Seals Weak Climate Deal
December 19, 2009 | Alex Scott in Copenhagen
Delegates at the United Nations (UN) have worked through the night and agreed a deal to cut greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in an attempt to protect the earth from anthropogenic climate change. At CW's press time mid-morning on Saturday 19 December, the delegates of almost 200 countries had "noted" a proposal made by a splinter group of countries led by Brazil, China, India, South Africa and the U.S. for a limited, non-legally binding "climate accord." To be accepted as an official U.N. agreement all 193 nations have had to agree...

The reservation agreement: a preliminary agreement to a sale of a prospective building
In Luxembourg, the sale of a building which has not yet been built is governed by specific mandatory legislation (see Art. 1601-1 to Art. 1601-14 of the Civil Code), which ensures the protection of the buyer against risks related to the execution of the works. This legislation permits the parties to conclude a preliminary agreement, called a 'reservation agreement', to the final deed of sale. As the reservation agreement has practical relevance in securing the deed of sale, it could be useful to have one.
However, you should not underestimate its importance and keep in mind that a reservation agreement has to be carefully drafted, as several rules must be followed in order to give full effect to such an agreement and prevent it from being invalid. Below you will also find guidelines on the reservation agreement.
A sale of a building which has not yet been built is a sale in which the seller commits himself to build or complete or to subcontract the construction of the building or its completion or part of it within a set time frame…
