Mediterranean Spice-Rubbed Pork Chops with Apricot-Mint Relish
Categories: Entertaining, Fourth of July, On the Grill
Type: Main Dishes
Type: Main Dishes
Spices from the Mediterranean make these pork chops taste slightly exotic.
Serves: Serves 4
- 4 pork rib chops, about 11/2in (3.5cm) thick, 12-14oz (350-400g) each
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
The relish
- 3 ripe apricots, pitted and diced medium (about 1 cup)
- 1/4 cup roughly chopped fresh mint
- Juice of 1/2 lemon (about 2 tablespoons)
- 4 dashes Tabasco sauce
- Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
The spice rub
- 1/4 cup sesame seeds
- 1/3 cup coriander seeds, freshly cracked
- 2 tablespoons ground fenugreek
- 2 tablespoons dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- Pinch ground cinnamon

- Build a multilevel fire in your grill (see Multilevel charcoal fire). When the coals are all ignited, the flames have died down, and the temperature is medium (see Gauging the temperature), you're ready to cook.
- For the spice rub, toast the sesame seeds in a dry skillet on the grill, shaking them frequently to prevent burning, until they become just a shade darker (3-5 minutes).
- Combine the spice rub ingredients in a small bowl and mix well. Measure out about 1/4 cup of the rub for the pork chops. Rub the chops with oil and coat them with the spice rub, pressing gently to be sure it adheres.
- Put the chops on the grill over the hotter part of the fire and cook, turning once, until well seared (3-4 minutes per side). Move the chops to the cooler side of the grill, cover them with a metal pie pan or disposable foil pan, and let them cook slowly until they are done to your liking (8-10 minutes per side for medium). To check for doneness, poke the chops with your finger to test their firmness (see The "hand method"); if you're unsure, make a small cut in the thickest part of one chop to be sure it is just slightly less done than you like it.
- While the chops are on the grill, combine the apricots, mint, lemon juice, Tabasco, and salt and pepper in a small bowl and mix well. Transfer to a serving dish and set aside.
- Transfer the chops to a platter and serve, passing the relish on the side.

If you visit ニコニコ動画 or any Japanese message boards often you are bound to see comments like ニコ厨 or 東方厨. Does anyone have good idea how did this originate and what do they mean?

I believe the following theory, but I have never tried to back them up with an evidence:
It originates from a slang 中坊 (ちゅうぼう). It means "junior high student," but often with an indication that the speaker looks down on the student he/she is talking about. (The usual word for "junior high student" is 中学生.)
On a BBS, calling someone 中坊 would be just another way to insult the person who is referred to; because the speaker does not know the age of the person referred to, it can only mean that the speaker thinks the action of the other party is childish as if he/she were a junior high student. But because 中坊 is a slang, popular IMEs cannot translate ちゅうぼう to 中坊. Because of this, the word 厨房 (kitchen) with the same pronunciation but completely unrelated meaning was used in place of 中坊 on a BBS. Later the abbreviation 厨 came into use.
ニコ厨 means a childish Niconico Video freak, and 東方厨 means a childish freak of games and/or game characters made by Touhou Project. But the meaning "childish" is sometimes ignored and they are often used to just refer to a Niconico Video freak or a Touhou Project freak.
Also it may be worth noting that ニコ厨 has the same pronunciation as ニコ中, which is an old-fashioned abbreviation for ニコチン中毒 ("dependence on nicotine/smoking"), and therefore ニコ厨 may be a pun for some people. But I do not know if this fact played any role in the etymology of the word ニコ厨.
The dictionary says:
Also: dic.nicovideo.jp/a/ニコ厨 has a detailed definition.

Congressman Bill Flores, TX Dist. 17 Responds:
"The bill that the Senate hastily put together and passed does little to provide economic growth and does virtually nothing to implement much-needed spending reforms. The deal raises approximately $620 billion in new revenue, but only has $15 billion in spending cuts, i.e. for every $1 in spending cuts there will be $41 in new taxes. The legislation also raises taxes on job creators, which will hinder job creation. I do not feel that this bill went far enough to curb the culture of wasteful spending and to protect taxes rates for job creators. For these reasons I voted in opposition of the bill's passage."
WASHINGTON -- Legislation to block the "fiscal cliff" is headed to the White House for President Barack Obama's signature. The bill will avoid, for now, the major tax increases and government spending cuts that had been scheduled to take effect with the new year.
Final approval came in the House on New Year's Night. The vote was 257 to 167. President Obama praised the move and has promised to sign the bill into law.
The Senate passed the bill less than 24 hours earlier.
The measure raises tax rates on incomes over $400,000 for individuals and $450,000 for couples, a victory for Obama.
It also extends expiring unemployment benefits for the long-term jobless, prevents a cut in fees for doctors who treat Medicare patients and cancels a $900 pay increase due to lawmakers in March.
Another provision is designed to prevent a spike in milk prices.
We've got a link to the full text of the bill as voted on by congress at the top of this page.
The voting roll call for the bill is as follows:
Voting yes were 172 Democrats and 85 Republicans.
Voting no were 16 Democrats and 151 Republicans.
Of those representing Texas Districts, the vote was as follows:
Democrats - Cuellar, Y; Doggett, Y; Gonzalez, Y; Green, Al, Y; Green, Gene, Y; Hinojosa, Y; Jackson Lee, Y; Johnson, E. B., Y; Reyes, Y.
Republicans - Barton, N; Brady, Y; Burgess, N; Canseco, N; Carter, N; Conaway, N; Culberson, N; Farenthold, N; Flores, N; Gohmert, N; Granger, N; Hall, N; Hensarling, N; Johnson, Sam, N; Marchant, N; McCaul, N; Neugebauer, N; Olson, N; Paul, X; Poe, N; Sessions, Y; Smith, Y; Thornberry, Y.

Birthday Bash
The Party
Some 150 guests came out for the inspired Edward Gorey Birthday Bash: Revelry from A to Z, hosted by the Friends of the Loyola University Chicago Libraries and the Loyola University Museum of Art.
The Scene
It was only fitting that on the artist's actual birthday, guests took part in a private viewing of Elegant Enigmas: The Art of Edward Gorey and G Is for Gorey—C Is for Chicago: The Collection of Thomas Michalak, exhibitions that demonstrate Gorey's legacy through hundreds of original drawings, works and illustrations. The festive reception featured a cocktail hour, dinner and, of course, birthday cake, as well as a silent auction of rare items donated from the Michalak Edward Gorey Collection.
The Highlights
Student performers from Loyola's Department of Fine and Performing Arts—dressed in Victorian and Edwardian garb—helped set the "Gorey" mood, and members of the Michael Lerich Orchestra and Gashlycrumb Orphanage provided additional entertainment. The exhibitions will remain on display through June 15 at LUMA in Chicago. –Photos by Bruce Powell

In the wikipedia entry for 'frames and locales', pains are taken to distinguish between the category of locales - defined to be the opposite of the category of frames - and the category whose objects are the complete Heyting algebras but whose arrows are the adjoints of the frame arrows. The two are clearly isomorphic as categories. How far are they from being identical, though? I became acquainted with locales through Borceux's excellent handbook and he defines arrow in locales to be the adjoints. So this is a little worrisome. Ok, I know this isn't precise... Let me put it this way: What are concrete examples of how these two differently defined categories actually differ?
Thank you in advance

Apply more tourist tax to arts and culture
Polk County's tourist development tax is unique on several levels.
For starters, it was proposed by the hotel/motel industry, which collects it (like all taxes, it is paid by taxpayers), and was approved by the voters in a referendum. It proved so successful that the tourism industry proposed an increase (to five percent) which also was approved by the voters.
Although expenditures are approved by the Polk County Commission, oversight is by a Tourism Development Council made up of representatives of city and county government, professional sports, and the tourism industry.
Its task is to ensure that the money is spent for its declared purposes of bringing overnight visitors to the county, popularly known as "putting heads in beds," and enhancing Polk as a tourism destination.
Most Polk Countians probably are not even aware of the tax, since they put their heads in their own beds, and rarely if ever pay it. But as a tax, it is public money, and all Polk Countians properly have an interest in how it is spent.
Last week, the county commission, at the recommendation of the TDC, voted to commit $14.6 million to the city of Lakeland for 20-year bonding for improvements to the Detroit Tigers winter stadium.
The commission also committed the fifth cent of the five-cent tax to Legoland for 10 years at $350,000 a year for marketing purposes, and to the Lake Myrtle sports complex.
Other funds are earmarked for sports recruiting and the Lakeland Center.
The tax is heavily weighted toward sports. In our opinion, it is too focused on that lucrative industry.
The initial enabling ordinance for expenditure of the tourist tax directed that 15 percent of the revenue from the first two cents be spent to promote the arts and other cultural activities. That mandate was either ignored or overlooked for several decades.
Last year, the county commission reenacted that requirement, and expects to have about $437,000 a year from that source for arts and culture. That is only 5 percent of a tax that generates about $8.6 million a year, but it is a start. The first arts and culture distributions were made last year.
It is important to note that the $437,000 is the minimum required to be spent for that purpose; the TDC and the county commission can increase the amount. We believe they should do so.
Oversight of these arts and culture expenditures is vested in a 21-member Arts and Culture Board. There are many areas which would benefit from modest amounts of funding, amounts that would pale in comparison to what is being spent for Major League Baseball and an investor-owned theme park.
Polk County's History Center — better known as the old courthouse, with its historical museum and genealogical library — is in a perpetual struggle for funds for survival. Smaller museums in Lakeland, Lake Wales, Fort Meade, and other communities survive on a shoestring.
The county's Homeland Heritage Park, which preserves a glimpse life as it it was lived in Polk's pioneer days, has a staff of one.
Art shows and other cultural activities in Bartow, Lakeland, Winter Haven, Lake Wales, and Fort Meade, among other cities, bring in artists and art lovers from a large area. Funding of such events is a continuing challenge.
We commend the county commission for reenacting the arts and culture funding requirement that has languished from neglect for all these years.
And we hope that the TDC and the commission will give a much higher priority to these community-based events, which could do wonders with an allocation of thousands — not millions — of dollars from the tourist tax.
The direct benefit to the Polk County community, as well as to visitors interested in culture and the arts, would be dramatic.

Why is it called 'the month of January' and not 'the month January'? As I was learning German, I noticed they used the latter (der Monat Januar). Why the discrepancy?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

Both are correct:
In the first case you do need the commas to indicate a parenthetical explanation. Without them you have two nouns together, and nouns don't qualify nouns. An adjective would work, but neither month nor January have a corresponding adjective.
In the second case we have a special case of genitive called the genitive of apposition. It has the same meaning as the first. The second noun restricts and clarifies the other. A wordy explanation would be to replace the "of" with "that is to say", viz:
It isn't particularly common in English to use the genitive this way, but that is the particular syntactic structure being used here.
I'm no authority on this, but the etymology for the month names may provide a hint:
January etymology probably comes from "Janus" -- a Roman deity; so if it meant "The month of Janus" that may make more sense. 1
February also had a similar etymology; "Month of purification"2;
It breaks down once we get to the months named after numbers (sept/oct/nov/dec), though.
I've often wondered why we named our last few months incorrectly (october isn't the eight month), but that's a separate issue, isn't it :)
IMO, this is grammatically incorrect and a case of periphrasis gone wrong. But it has nevertheless become acceptable through regular use. It should be the month, January and the season, winter rather than the month of January or the season of winter just as it is the year 2013 rather than the year of 2013.
The use of the preposition of alongside a noun usually indicates possession. Phrases such as the PM of Djibouti or the admiral of the fleet can be restated as Djibouti's PM or the fleet's admiral respectively. This doesn't really work with the month of January as January's month does not compute.
Moreover, the admiral of the fleet sounds far more prestigious than the less flowery fleet's admiral. I suspect that the use of the verbose month of January came about for similar reasons. Even the presence of the word month in the phrase is often superfluous.

There is a line in Shakespeare�s �King Lear� that may help us reframe our discussion about why people purchase automatic weapons.
In Act II of �King Lear�, and in the wake of Lear�s bequest of his entire kingdom and wealth to two of his daughters, he now mourns the loss of his guards. He requests of one of his daughters that he be given 50 guards. Since his daughters have agreed to care for all of his earthly needs, one of his daughters responds to his request by saying, �What need one?� Lear�s famous response: �Reason not the need.�
Those reading or attending the play know that Lear�s request reflects more than just a need for guards, but rather a yearning for love and camaraderie.
Implication? I suspect that we have not yet explored the deeper passions that motivate many to purchase firearms. Perhaps these deeper needs have nothing to do with a quest for security or recreation. Shouldn�t we deny King Lear�s retort, �Reason not the need,� and devote some of our time to looking for deeper motivational factors. In other words, isn�t it time to look at some of the psychological factors that may be involved in gun use?

It's sustainable in the cenote! Rainforest Adventures Hidden Worlds in Riviera Maya Mexico (located north of Tulum and south of Cancun and Playa del Carmen) is ready to unveil substantial sustainability upgrades that focus on improving both the guest experience and the park's environmental impact.
Improvements began in early 2013 and are expected to be completed by mid-December, in time for the busy winter season. Ranging from the dining spaces to the ziplines, six months of work went into the park to further improve the sustainable adventure park.
"Rainforest Adventures Hidden Worlds Mexico is a gem on the Yucatan, providing guests with a sustainable adventure experience, complete with natural, not man-made cenotes," says Annika Bratt, director of sales for Rainforest Adventures. "The park improvements, both visible and behind the scenes, will improve the experience for guests along with the natural environment."
The surroundings of Tak Be Ha, the park's natural cenote (Mexican term for "underwater caves") reserved solely for snorkeling guests, has received a complete overhaul. The road, parking and jungle surrounding the cenote have all been upgraded to ensure that the pristine underground spring stays as clean as possible.
Two of the park's zip lines have been improved – focusing on quality and safety – using Petzl equipment. This class-leading equipment is used worldwide by some of the best mountaineers and climbers, along with rescue professionals.
The Jungle Diner, Hidden World's main dining facility, has been upgraded with a new Palapa roof, benches and tables, and lighting. These upgrades, along with a new selection of food options will help ensure that guests visiting the park keep their energy levels high between adventure experiences.
For the further comfort of guests, the park's main washroom facilities have been upgraded with new fixtures, using low-flow technology. Hidden Worlds has also brought the on-site photo experience in house, ensuring that all guests receive the highest quality photographs of their adventures during their visit.
Planned future improvements include the park's Aero-Cycle, a bicycle suspended on a zipline and powered by pedalling through the rainforest canopy. Additional road works throughout the park will also be improved to match the Tak Be Had road upgrades.

I am not understanding how it comes to know which kernel image to load? I have so many. Once I had created my own kernel and recompiled. How does it come to know that this is the one to load?
To answer your final question:
You can put the new menuentry anywhere in /etc/grub.d/40_custom.
Then edit /etc/default/grub, and change the DEFAULT to the name of the menuentry that you added to 40_custom. (Using the name rather than a 0-indexed number is best because it allows for the possibility of more kernel images being added or deleted later: see grub2 infopage).
Then make sure to run
Reasoning: 40_custom gets added to grub menu underneath any kernel images that grub-update2 finds, so the order within 40_custom won't overide the kernels found by 10_linux.
Here's what I've gleaned from info grub and this grub tutorial.
Short story is that, yes, if you change the /boot/grub/grub.cfg file, the grub2 bootloader will read those changes and act accordingly.
The way around this is, instead of messing with grub.cfg at all, add the custom kernel menu entry to the end of /etc/grub.d/40_custom, and run
(That will ensure that your custom kernel will always be in grub's grub.cfg file even when there are grub or kernel updates pushed by by Ubuntu).
You still need to ensure that your kernel gets booted by default. Do so by editing the file /etc/default/grub
Change the line
where the quoted string is exactly what is in quotes for the corresponding menuentry in grub.cfg
You may need to run update-grub2 again.
That's it, you're done.
I have the following kernel and initrd:
and want to instead boot the following custom kernel by default
1) I look in /boot/grub/grub/cfg for the current entry. (Note, there seems to be a lot of unessential stuff in each menuentry -- see the end of this post for a bare-bones one).
2) I append the menuitem to /etc/grub.d/40_custom, substituting a new menuentry name, kernel image, and initrd:
3) run
4) reboot. you should see the new kernel at the bottom of the bootloader list.
5) Make it default by editing the default line in /etc/default/grub. It must exactly match whatever you put in quotes in /etc/grub.d/40_custom right after
6) Not sure if necesary, but won't hurt to re-run `#sudo update-grub2
Background info:
Terminology: `The bootloader is called grub2, but colloquially ppl still call it 'grub'. So if you google for help on the subject, make sure to search specifically for grub2. Googling just 'grub' will bring up some outdated info on the old grub loader (which is still in use, but renamed 'grub-legacy').
How it knows: Grub2 consists of a tiny piece of software (boot.img) that is installed (usually on the MBR of your disk) and has hardcoded into it the locations on your disk of the grub.cfg file and more software (core.img and various *.mod files) which actually boot the linux kernel. So boot.img knows to find core.img, which in turn will read grub.cfg
grub.cfg is generated by the shell script /usr/sbin/update-grub2. It executes all the executable scripts in /etc/grub.d/ (in alphabetical order, so 10_linux gets executed before 40_custom, etc) and sends their outputs to grub.cfg
Barebones file Unless you are using non-standard filesystems or hardware you should only need a few lines to boot a linux kernel on a standard PC with grub. The other stuff is for graphical splash screens and I don't know what else (the following was tested with an ext4 /boot partition and / in lvm-ext4 ):
It doesn't know. It only looks for certain files (
Then, on the boot stage GRUB looks into the file and uses information it placed there. It's simple.

Charlie Strong has University of Louisville football off to the first 9-0 start in school history. The Cards have climbed to No. 9 in the Bowl Championship Series standings this week and are poised to play in a lucrative BCS Bowl game for just the second time in school history. Sophomore quarterback Teddy Bridgewater threw five touchdown passes in their 45-17 win over Temple last Saturday. UofL visits Syracuse this Saturday at noon. The defection of West Virginia to the Big XII has given the national pundits the impression that a watered down Big East is not deserving of consideration to play for the national title. UofL is one of just six unbeaten teams remaining in major college football. I sat down with Coach Strong to talk about the latest developments.
KENT TAYLOR: You moved up to No. 9 in the BCS standings this week but are behind two SEC teams with two losses – what is your reaction?
CHARLIE STRONG: The way I look at it is that we don't control that. I have nothing to do with it. The only thing our team can do for the rest of this year is continue to play well and just play it out.
TAYLOR: Do you deserve to be in the national championship conversation?
STRONG: At the end of the season, you'll see where you're going to end up. We cannot worry about that; our focus right now has to be Syracuse.
TAYLOR: How many times have you tried to schedule an SEC school?
STRONG: Georgia got out of it the time that we had them on our schedule.
TAYLOR: Why is that so difficult?
STRONG: I think that what happens with a lot of conference teams is that they don't want to play a tough team out of conference because they feel like that within their conference they're playing enough teams that they have to go each week to get ready for. They don't want to say hey, let's go step out of conference and go play this team here.
TAYLOR: There have been some pretty good quarterbacks here: Johnny Unitas, Chris Redman, Dave Ragone, Stefan Lefors, Brian Brohm. Does Teddy (Bridgewater) already deserve to be in that conversation?
STRONG: He's in that conversation, but I think that with him, he doesn't want to be placed on a pedestal. He'd rather continue to get better and let me go earn this position that they want to go put me in. He is a special player and he's fun to watch.
TAYLOR: What is different about him?
STRONG: What's great is just the respect he has from his teammates. That's what's amazing about him. What you really like about him is that from the offensive side to the defensive side, you have a quarterback who can swing both sides, and players feel comfortable with him. Not many places are like that, because the quarterback is usually held to a higher standard. We are with Teddy, but a lot of them don't want to become a teammate with the whole team. A lot of them want to think that it's all about them. It's fun to just watch how he just mixes with the other players.
TAYLOR: Are you excited that you don't have to worry about the weather this week, playing in a dome (at Syracuse)?
STRONG: I think I want a rain game, I think we play better. To be indoors, it will be a good test for us. That's why we'll practice all week in the Trager Center to get used to that type of surface.
TAYLOR: What does it mean to you to be 9-0, to do something that has never been done before at this program?
STRONG: I guess we really have not even talked about our record. Each week our focus has just been on the team that we're playing. We were sitting there at 8-0 and I never once said, "Hey we're 8-0, we're No. 10 in the country." I just said, listen guys, you have a good Temple football team coming in here and if you don't lock in. I just look at it with our program, we're sitting here 9-0 and we're still not where we should be. You don't want guys to get full of themselves.
TAYLOR: What is your reaction to Joker Phillips getting fired?
STRONG: Joker and I are good friends and you hate within this profession for that to happen to anyone. There's a young man who put in 22 years at a university, was a player there and also, he coached there. You have to look at it as a business and the decisions that were made, their athletic director and president made that decision. I know this, Joker will fall on his feet because he's an outstanding coach and an outstanding person.
TAYLOR: Have you talked to him since the announcement?
STRONG: No I have not spoken with him. What you like to do is just let him get through this. He's probably getting a ton of phone calls, and then when this happens, I've been fired before, not as a head coach, not yet, but I've been fired before. You don't feel like talking to anyone. More than anything you just let those phone calls come and then you just don't even answer the phone.

This question already has an answer here:
When a beta site is closed, the questions that can be migrated are given to other sites. But what about the questions that aren't relevant on other sites?
Let's say you have a question, that was fairly high voted, and has an accepted answer. That question may be useful to someone else in the future, even if it will not be useful to as many people as a StackExchange site requires. If that question is deleted, than in the future, people who are searching for answers on a question that happened to be covered by a closed beta, will not be able to get it.
What I propose, is that when a beta site dies, instead of deleting it, it should be turned into an "archive site".
The archive site would basically be the same as the regular site, except there would be a big "Archive" at the top of the site (it would look just like the meta site, except with "archive" instead of "meta", and it would be colored even more gray), and it would be read-only. People would be able to view the questions and answers, but no one would be able add anything, or vote.
Also, I would suggest that StackExchange keep track of the traffic that comes into that site. If for some reason, the topic of that dead-beta become of interest to enough people, the site could be reopened.
Any questions, comments, suggestions?

STEUBENVILLE - The Jefferson County commissioners awarded contracts for the Brilliant booster station and water line improvement contract Thursday even though one of the contracts exceeded the engineer's estimate.
Shannan Gosbin, county water and sewer department director, said the engineer's estimate for the project was $4.3 million for three separate contracts under the project. The three contracts as bid total $3.1 million.
Ohio-West Virginia Excavating of Powhatan Point bid $673,000 for the construction of the booster station building. The engineer's estimate was $600,000 for that part of the project. Ohio-West Virginia Excavating's bid was more than 10 percent over the estimate.
Gosbin said Ohio law is clear the contract can be awarded because the total of the three contracts is less than the engineer's estimate. She said the county prosecutor's office also agreed the contract can be awarded.
Commissioner Thomas Graham said he wants a written opinion from the prosecutor's office saying the contract for Ohio-West Virginia Excavating can be awarded. Commissioners approved the contract pending the opinion.
Fort Steuben Maintenance of Steubenville was awarded the contract for electrical work on the booster station building in the amount of $662,500. Precision Pipeline of Lancaster was awarded the contract for the installation of water lines in the amount of $1,768,078.
Gosbin said construction should start in January, with completion in about nine months.
A new pump house will be built in Brilliant and 24,000 feet of 10-inch water lines will be installed from the pump station to the water tower in New Alexandria.
Gosbin said the current pump station was intended to serve 450 customers, but now serves 1,200 customers.
The county also has reached an agreement to take over the Smithfield water system, which will be fed with water from the new pump station and water lines. The commissioners have requests from numerous residents in the south end of the county to receive county water, including the Bradley area outside Smithfield.
Malcolm Pernie, the county's water and sewer engineering consultant, will have information about the Bradley water line extension next week.
County Commissioner Tom Gentile said "this is a great first step" in getting water to residents in the Smithfield and Bradley areas.
In other matters, commissioners agreed to send a written offer for the purchase of the Towers building on Market Street. The exact amount of the offer wasn't made public because real estate negotiations don't have to be made public under state law.
Petrola Family Real Estate is the owner of the building.
A committee studied the purchase and recommended the county move forward with the possible purchase if an agreement could be reached on the price.
The county already spends $80,000 a year in rent for county offices located in the building, Gentile said. The commissioners want to move county offices currently being rented at other buildings into the Towers to save rent money.
Commissioners also approved three contract revisions between the county Job and Family Services Department and the Community Action Council for job training.
The first contract adds $315,535 for a program to retrain workers laid off from Severstal. Mike McGlumphy of CAC said 95 workers are receiving retraining. The contract addition will allow another 66 county residents who were laid off from the coke plant to get training to find employment.
The second contract adds $76,033 to the youth training program to allow young people to get work experience and skills training. McGlumphy said the contact addition will allow 56 youth to get training.
The third contract adds $166,533 for adult worker training and $164,675 for adult dislocated work training. McGlumphy said 39 dislocated adults and 55 adults will receive training with the extra money.
Funding for the programs comes through the state.
Commissioners also approved indigent defendant attorney bills for November in the amount of $47,765. The county has nearly run out of money to pay the attorney fees. Funding will have to be transferred to make the December payment.

Box Score | Game Notes
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (February 23, 2013) – The San Antonio Rampage (24-24-1-4) secured a winning record on the Rodeo Road Trip with a 6-3 victory over the Grand Rapids Griffins (29-18-2-2), 6-3, Saturday night at Van Andel Arena.
The win improved the Rampage to 5-2-1-0 on the Rodeo Road Trip and pulled the club back to a .500 record. With a victory tomorrow in a rematch against the Griffins, the Rampage would set the franchise record on the Rodeo Road Trip in terms of winning percentage.
Zach Hamill and Quinton Howden both tallied three points and three other Rampage players tallied multi-point games en route to tying a season-high with six goals scored. Netminder Dov Grumet-Morris stopped 40 of the 43 shots he faced on the night and was named the Second Star of the Game for his efforts.
Entering the game, the Griffins were one of the best teams in the league in the first period, outscoring opponents, 51-35. However, the Rampage got the best of the Griffins in the opening 20 minutes on Saturday night.
After being shutout in Peoria on Friday, Hamill did not wait long to get San Antonio on the board. He lit the lamp for the Rampage just 37 seconds into the game. With his three points on the night, he leads the club on the Rodeo Road Trip with 10 points (four goals, six assists).
Following Hamill's goal, the Rampage were held without a shot for 17:18. But San Antonio capitalized on their third shot of the game while on a 4-on-3 power play at 17:55. Greg Rallo collected a rebound off a Brian O'Hanley shot to make it, 2-0.
Griffins' leading scorer, Gustav Nyquist, would get one back for Grand Rapids on the power play at 9:46 of the second period when his shot from the right circle beat Grumet-Morris to make it 2-1.
Howden would answer for the Rampage when he forced his way into the Griffins' zone on the left wing and fired the puck into the back of the net at 12:09 of the second period.
Scott Timmins would close the scoring in the middle frame when he deflected in an Eric Selleck shot past Griffins goaltender Tom McCollum at 16:00 of the second period to give San Antonio a 3-1 lead.
The Rampage had only fired 12 shots on goal in the first two periods, but beat McCollum three times in the first 40 minutes. Entering the game, McCollum held a 1-6-0 record against the Rampage in seven starts.
Brendon Nash would give the Rampage their biggest lead of the night when he fired a one-timer that beat McCollum high at 1:04 of the third period. The goal was Nash's third on the road trip. Along with an assist on the first goal of the game, Nash has recorded four points in his last four games.
Riley Sheahan and Mitch Callahan would score at 8:48 and 15:06 of the third period, respectively, to bring the Griffins back to within two goals, but Howden tallied his second of the night into an empty net to secure the 6-3 victory for San Antonio.
A night after getting shutout on the power play for the first time in three games, San Antonio went 2-for-6 on the man advantage. The Griffins won the shot battle, 43-21, and went 2-for-6 with the man advantage, as well.
The Rampage will close out the Rodeo Road Trip tomorrow with a rematch against the Griffins at 3:00 p.m.
The Silver and Black will return to AT&T Center on Saturday, March 2 at 7:00 p.m. to host their annual Military Appreciation Night. Individual and season tickets can be purchased at the AT&T Center Southeast Box Office, by calling a Rampage representative at 210-444-5554 or online at sarampage.com

Add to shopping list
- To make the mayonnaise, combine the egg, egg yolk, lemon juice, and zest in a food processor, and mix until pale yellow. Add the oil a few drops at a time and blend, then add the remaining oil in a steady stream until it forms a smooth emulsion. Season with salt and pepper, transfer to a serving bowl, cover, and refrigerate.
- Whisk together the flour, baking soda, paprika, and soda water. Season with salt and pepper, then whisk until smooth. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a deep-sided frying pan and place over medium-high heat until it reaches 400°F (200°C) on a deep-fry thermometer. Adjust as needed; the oil should be very hot but not smoking.
- Put the fish in the batter one piece at a time and coat well. Carefully place the fish in the hot oil. Cook the fish in batches for 2-3 minutes, turning, until rich golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain. Sprinkle with a little salt and serve hot, with the lemon mayonnaise.
- Replace the sherry with dessert wine or white wine, or a splash of white wine vinegar for sharpness. Use broccoli instead of spinach.
- Cheat...Mix the juice of 1 lemon with 2 large tablespoons ready-made mayonnaise, instead of making your own.

#3. Criminal Profilers
We've all learned from TV and movies that when a serial killer is on the loose, an attractive outside expert can come in and discover an intimate window into the killer's mind by examining the very pattern of his knife strokes.
"The body was found outside, which means our killer can't possibly be a white man."
How does a profiler pull off this magic? According to some studies, they actually don't. After analyzing studies on criminal profiling accuracy, the authors concluded that professional profilers don't show any more significant accuracy in their predictions than the control groups did by using common sense and educated guesses. Also, many profilers refuse to participate in any kind of study to verify their accuracy.
"A study, you say? Well fuck your tits, madam, I have a book to write."
Elusive as they are to study, it's hard to say for sure how good criminal profilers are. Some have certainly been less successful than others, like the FBI profilers hunting the Unabomber, who identified their suspect as a married man living in a house in the suburbs, most likely an airplane mechanic. He was finally arrested in 1996 at his remote cabin where he had been living as a wild-haired, crazy, mountain man for 25 years.
Not pictured: a wife, an airplane.
Many self-proclaimed criminal profiling experts also shoved their faces into the media spotlight during the Washington Beltway sniper attacks to peg the randomly murdering snipers as a couple of white guys. "The experts were neither misogynists nor racists. They all agreed with Van Zandt that 'this is something white males do.'"
They slipped back into the shadows when John Allen Muhammad and Lee Boyd Malvo, two black men, were arrested and ultimately convicted for the killings.
#2. Weather Forecasters
While it's long been a running joke that TV weather forecasters are hired for their good looks or entertainment value, we assume that someone in the back room is feeding them accurate information so they can at least read the weather.
A bored and curious gentleman in Kansas City with a penchant for statistical analysis decided to explore this assumption one day. He tracked the predictions of four local stations over 220 days and found that the four stations had about an 85 percent success rate in predicting if it would rain the next day, which looks pretty good at first glance.
But, here's the thing: It doesn't rain on most days. It's not a 50/50 thing. In most parts of the country it only rains on about 14 percent of the days.
OK, so suppose you went on the air and just predicted every single day that it won't rain. In this 220 day study the four TV stations went through, you'd beat their average accuracy rate (since your "it won't rain" prediction is right 86.3 percent of the time).
Two out of the four stations barely beat you (they got 87 percent) while the other two fell below the threshold.
The study then narrowed it down to only debatable days, eliminating days when it clearly wasn't going to rain--basically boiling it down to days people would actually care about the forecast. He lowered his threshold to 50 percent, the equivalent of flipping a coin when it's cloudy to predict whether it will rain tomorrow, and the news stations again barely managed to defeat the inanimate object, ranging between 50 percent and 60 percent accuracy.
Seriously, anyone can do this.
By the time the test was adjusted to predict the weather three days out, the coin was winning in all cases.
With all that said, this guy's conclusion isn't that meteorology is untrustworthy, but rather that local TV weather forecasting places too much emphasis on good hair and terrible jokes and not enough on smaller details, such as when it is going to rain.
#1. Sportswriting
Millions of guys would love to spend all their time watching games and telling people their opinions about sports, but only a select few get to do it, and they do so partly by keeping up a pretense of having some exclusive knowledge about the game that no one else does.
Any sports fan will tell you what a retarded hack their hometown sports columnist is, but sports fans (as with fans of anything, really) tend to be just as lazy as they are abusive, and not many compile a statistical analysis of their hated sportswriters' inaccuracies.
One man, however, did take it upon himself to prove the point empirically in 1971 with an actual study on sportswriters' ability to predict college and NFL games. Their success rate was .476, which you may notice is slightly worse than a coin. The coin's writing ability is arguably superior.
Before writing sports journalists off as complete morons, keep in mind that even Accuscore, a service that charges for its sports predictions based on complex computer algorithms that crunch stats and predict trends, only claims about 53 to 54 percent accuracy, which is still enough to make its customers money.
So, sports prediction is something that almost nobody can get a handle on, but still... worse than a coin toss?
If you want to tie your brain in a knot, think about this: If those guys sitting behind the desk at ESPN are performing worse than chance when they try to make an "expert" judgment about who's going to win the game, that means they could improve their accuracy by always betting on the team they actually think is going to lose. Hell, some of them are wrong so often they could beat the Accuscore service simply by going against their instincts every time.
Eh, they'd still probably fuck it up somehow.

My first contribution to ExtJs. Demo and some documentation included in the zip file.
I'm still very new to ExtJs (mostly jquery/ui background) and would appreciate constructive criticism and suggestions for future releases.
Hope you find it useful!
If you like this extension, you'll be happy to know about the rewrite I made of it. You can find more information about it here: http://www.sencha.com/forum/showthre...ate.RangeField
0.2a changes
- Listens for when a user presses ENTER (while the field is focused).
- Now the default value can be set through the 'value' configuration.
- Tested and bundles on ExtJs 3.2.1.

Small IE8 Modification
Firstly -- Nice Extension -- It's quite extend-able its-self... Which makes me happy as I can extend you class to suit me needs nicely...
I'm embedding it into a prefigured ToolBar (ext-3.1.0) - which works seamlessly in FF3.0 - 3.6. However in IE8 the Custom Date Range side by side DatePicker's would render @ 100% browser width - completely Left Justified...
This may be due to an ext-3.1.0 bug - but don't mention that you heard that form me.
The following is a simple workaround that I've added.
Added a width parameter to the menu constructor.
Line 279++
dateMenu = new Ext.menu.Menu({
plain: true,
items: [ dateForm ]
dateMenu = new Ext.menu.Menu({
width: 350,
plain: true,
items: [ dateForm ]
Which solved the issue for me...
29 Jan 2010 4:31 PM #5
Glad you liked my extension. Thank you for your contribution!
Honestly, i think the whole
var dateForm = new Ext.form.FormPanel({ width: 350 ...
Any idea how to do this? I tried leaving it blank, but it kept turning it into a single column
instead of nicely laid out side by side.

Max and Min Date Override?
How does one override the Max and Min Dates?
23 Feb 2010 9:20 AM #7
This is exactly what I was looking for, unfortunately it doesn't work on Ext 2.2.x. I tried to migrate it to 2.2.x and it renders well but when the menu pops up I get:

Great Extension! How to setup daterange default value?
1 Jun 2010 10:02 PM #9
Thanks for the comments, sorry i've been a little AWOL I believe in this version the default value is semi-static. BUT I have worked on another version (which i'll be posting soon, just doing a little polishing), this new version does support setting the default value. @ady, Not sure why that's happening in Ext 2.*, honestly, I didn't test in earlier versions of ExtJs. @mrlynn Currently, overriding the min/max dates is not really supported, (i never needed the functionality). I'll see if I can hack a way to override them in the next release i'm putting together.
1 Jun 2010 10:14 PM #10
Validation should be working or in this version is not available, execution after clicking enter?

Was this term (I believe it is a synonym of geek, nerd, and so on) based on the television series Dexter or was it around before that and the series based its name on it?

It's been around a lot longer than the TV series Dexter.
The TV series is based on the novels by Jeff Lindsay:

5 Myths About Celebrity Deaths Everyone Believes
#2. Oscar Wilde Did Not Die of Syphilis
Hulton Archive / Stringer / Getty
The Myth
Oscar Wilde was more promiscuous than a whole army of former Disney Channel stars combined. In 1895, he was charged with butthole indecency and sentenced to two years of hard labor, and not even the fun kind.
"Oscar Wilde, this court finds you ... FABULOUS! No, but seriously, you're going to jail."
Wilde took it easy in his later years, but his promiscuous past caught up with him, and, according to several biographies (respectable ones, this time), he died of meningitis as a direct result of syphilis. His sexual debauchery cost him his life. A cautionary tale for sure, kids!
But Actually ...
True, saying that Oscar Wilde was killed by syphilis wasn't a huge stretch -- an estimated 25 percent of Victorian men had it at the time. Also, he was Oscar Wilde. He probably gave it to that 25 percent in the first place. However, Wilde's actual symptoms didn't match up with syphilis, or any seedy STD, for that matter. Today, medical experts agree that he most likely died of an ear infection.
A sexy ear infection?
When Wilde died, there was not much medical information on what caused his meningitis. Wilde's early biographers assumed that he got it from syphilis because, well, it made sense. "It made sense" was also the whole reason the syphilis story was included in Richard Ellman's "definitive" Oscar Wilde biography in 1987 -- Ellman wrote the entire book on the theory that Wilde had contracted the disease as a young man and that it somehow influenced his writing.
However, the truth is that there's no evidence that Wilde ever had syphilis in his life. His friend and lover Lord Alfred Douglas sued the writer of Wilde's first biography for libel, and as a result, the writer removed the syphilis claim from later editions (despite winning the lawsuit). But it was too late: The syphilis explanation became an accepted part of Wilde's persona and turned him into a cautionary tale against hard living. Wash your ears, kids!

#1. Edgar Allan Poe Did Not Die of Alcoholism
David Livingston / Getty
The Myth
In October of 1849, Edgar Allan Poe was found wandering the streets of Baltimore in a drunken stupor and taken to a hospital, where he died. Everyone who knew him probably saw it coming: It's well-known that Poe was addicted to booze and opium, and according to his obituary, he was a tormented madman who was frequently seen wandering the streets in delirium, muttering to himself. His death was like a moment straight out of the darkest of his poems, minus the rhyming and talking birds.
As with Oscar Wilde, it fits the narrative. Writers are drunks, and people who write weird horror stories are surely on drugs. It was only a matter of time until it all caught up with the guy.
His contribution single-handedly funded Baltimore's drug industry for the next 200 years.
But Actually ...
Poe did pass away after being found delirious under bizarre circumstances, but there's no evidence that his state had anything to do with alcohol, or any drug -- his symptoms actually point toward a bad rabies infection.
Poe definitely had problems with drinking at different moments in his life, but by the end of it he avoided alcohol, because it made him violently sick. He was also a member of the temperance movement at the time. As for other drugs, he never even touched them.
Comstock / Photos.com
Poe's stories were full of mentions of opium, but the only evidence that he ever actually used it was one letter to a lady friend where he claimed he tried to commit suicide using laudanum, and he was probably just making shit up to look interesting.
He was the original emo kid, after all.
So how did he go from an occasional drunk to a raving lunatic in the eyes of the public? That was all the work of his nemesis, editor Rufus Griswold, who anonymously wrote Poe's infamous "everyone hated him" obituary and later expanded it into a book. Griswold despised Poe and went as far as to forge his letters to discredit him. His work was referenced by Poe's early biographers, despite being the literary equivalent of smearing shit on someone's grave (which he probably did, too).
But as with all of the entries on this list, the story is still repeated today because it's just seen as a more fitting ending to his "character." We need Mozart to end his life as an unappreciated genius, and Walt Disney to go out clinging to a whimsical fantasy. And it's more appealing to think of Poe as a tragic, dark, self-destructive figure (much like his own characters) than some schmuck who was probably bitten by a Chihuahua or something.

In Weil's paper
"On a certain type of characters of the idele-class group of an algebraic number field",
Weil introduces a class of characters on the Idele class group (of not necessarily finite order) which take algebraic values. He calls them, characters of type (A) (the (A) probably stands for algebraic, I guess). On the last 3 lines of p. 3, he says that Artin pointed out to him how to use Minkowski's theorem on units (in absolutely normal number fields) to show essentially that all such characters come from CM fields.
Basically, this question boils down to understand the following: For which number fields $K$; collection of integers $f_{\iota}$; and a suitable choice of an integer $m$, is it possible to have $$ \prod_{\iota\in S_{\infty} }\left(\frac{\iota(\epsilon)}{\overline{\iota(\epsilon)}}\right)^{mf_{\iota}}=1 $$ for all $\epsilon\in \mathcal{O}_K^{\times}$? Here $S_{\infty}$ denotes the set of infinite places of $K$.
Q1: Is there a reference in the literature where I can find a proof (or a sketch of a proof) of this result?
Q2: If no such reference exists, then how does one prove it from Minkowski's theorem?

So what is the best process for setting up a large community site using WordPress with git version control? Multiple people submitting changes etc, testing area and easy way to update the live site. How would you do it?
The most prudent way is to use a staging server.
The workflow would be:
Some Notes:
Have only one/two people actually manage the master push to the staging server, this allows them to review changes and have a certain amount of control over what goes on, also it is way less confusing.
This is strictly for code changes, content based changes are way more complex and would need several other "layers" to ensure database compatibility/sync.
Sending from staging to live is a topic in of itself, you can use automated tools, ftp, even DVCS itself, it really depends on your environment.
An alternative is to use a PHP based PAAS servive ( there are now several), they can automate much of this process, I recently reviewed them all and each one has a different feature set and quirks ( most of these services are really new).
For example here is a really boring video I made on syncing a live site through github ( using Engine Yard), the downside is that this service has no actual file server and in the long run made it very difficult to work with, but some PAAS services do support this.(I think they are adding it soon as well) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZEiFi4thDI
If i don't misunderstand, you have a team. Your teammates changing your Wordpress' codes. For example; developing plugins, themes, changing WP core files etc.
So you can add your WP directory to
This will initialize a git repo to this dir. And then add all files
And then send your first commit :
Now your teammates can get repo with
NOw everyone can modify your Wordpress and commit their changes to server.

What is the long-term effects of storing materials in consumer electronics in a vacuum? Ie, plastics, electronic circuits and optical glasses?
Outgassing of solvents and oil/grease is probably more of an issue on realistic timescales than sublimation.
Some types of capacitors are notorious for failing in vacuum and anything with moving parts is going to need the grease replacing with some solid lubricant like Molybdenum disulfide or graphite.
If you need to operate the equipment the biggest issue is cooling. With no convection you need to actively cool electronics and often pot the entire circuit board in an epoxy.
Finally there is equipment that actually relies on air pressure. Hard disk drives use aerodynamics to float the heads above the disk and have problems above about 10,000ft
First time I lost a draft . Here it goes again:
Solids and liquids in vacuum will slowly erode due to sublimation. The molecules of the material have a kinetic energy distribution the tail of which has enough energy to propel the molecule into the vacuum . Long term the material will become eroded and if in a closed container the vacuum will also deteriorate and become a gas of the molecules that evaporated.
To get specific time values one has to know temperatures, magnitude of vacuum and materials.
Handwaving estimates: the time is very long: thermos flasks may be spoiled by breakage but I have not seen an eroded one, so glass is ok. The old kind of light bulbs could last for 30 years, their wire filaments OK. Also the space debris of last century are still there clogging the space ways.

Sign up for our mailing list and learn how you can help us win the battle against unnecessary killing of cats. Sign up now »
Helping Community Cats
Show this video at your workshop to help you instruct others on outdoor cat care, Trap-Neuter-Return, and how to deter cats from where they are not wanted.
Home / What We Do / Produce Educational Tools / Workshops
Helping Cats in Your Community WorkshopWorkshops are an excellent first step to learn or educate others about outdoor cats, Trap-Neuter-Return, and other services available at a local level. They are also a useful tool in networking with other volunteers, caregivers and feeders, and those who care about cats.
If information and advice is not provided by traditional animal groups, you have to create it on the grassroots level to build the new movement to protect the lives of cats. Alley Cat Allies holds workshops in several locations across the country (view our events calendar), but if you cannot attend these events or are interested in hosting your own, the video and materials below will get you on your way to becoming a feral cat expert.
Alley Cat Allies has all of the tools to help you host a workshop.
Workshop Preparation
Participant PacketsGiving attendees take-home materials will help them retain workshop information. Create packets and assemble them in quantity before your workshop with the help of volunteers (a great job for teenagers wanting to help). Be sure to include a business card or some other document with you or your organization's contact information for attendee follow-up. If possible, have extra packets on hand so participants can share the information with neighbors or friends. The brochures listed below are available for download from Alley Cat Allies or can be ordered through our Marketplace.
Getting the Word Out: Promoting WorkshopsPost an announcement on your organization's webpage. People come to your website because they need help or want more information. Include a link on your homepage about outdoor cats and information about your regular workshops (read website instructions). If there is a calendar on the webpage make sure the workshops are clearly listed. If your workshop is taking place at the local shelter, ask them to put an announcement up in the shelter and on their webpage.
Direct calls for help to your workshop. Every call from a resident to you or your group is an opportunity for humane education. Empower the caller to learn more about the cats they care for or are seeking help with.
Use the internet to find community event lists. Most communities have online local event listings. Consider your neighborhood newspaper, your local www.craigslist.org, and your municipality's government site.
Local television stations have community calendars online and might even incorporate announcements into their newscasts. Call or e-mail their news desks to see how you can get your workshop announced.
Many local radio stations also have community calendars online where you can upload details about events. Some local stations will include information about events on the air.
When contacting the news media, always provide the following information: name of the event; date; time; location, with specific details (e.g. the workshop will be provided in the basement of St. Kitty Church); indicate that the event is FREE; website of your organization; brief description of the event; and a phone number where you can be reached for media questions.
Advertise to online community groups. Yahoo Groups (www.groups.yahoo.com) is an excellent resource for finding groups of people who would be interested in learning more about outdoor cats. In many areas, neighbors are coming together online to share information. Use the search feature and some keywords to look for community associations, local neighborhood groups, people interested in animals of all kinds, and rescue groups. When you find a group, send an announcement with the details of the workshop to the list manager or join the list and post it yourself. Another site you might check out is www.meetup.com – a great place to post your workshops and create a sense of community where those that come to workshops can interact with one another later.
Take out a classified ad. Most communities have more than one newspaper or publication with classified ads. These ads tend to be short and charge per letter or word. They are relatively inexpensive and can help you reach a different audience of people than you might reach with online marketing. Make your ad clear and to the point and direct people to a place where they can get more information such as a website, email, or phone number. [Example headline: "Feeding outdoor cats? We can help."]
Some community newspapers may offer free or reduced rates for public service events. If your organization is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, the newspaper may be able to provide you with free or heavily discounted advertising rates.
Create a Flyer. A local café, library, or grocery store may have community bulletin boards – post a flyer at these and other locations to let people know about the workshops. Offer stacks of flyers to local pet shops, veterinary offices, and groomers for their clients to take.
Props Needed for Workshops Presentations
Create a kit that you will use at every workshop, for demonstration purposes, including equipment for trapping and sample deterrents that help keep cats away from where they are not welcome.
Knowing and Engaging your AudienceEvery person who comes to a workshop is someone who might be interested in becoming further involved. When attendees show up, ask them to sign in and give them a packet of materials that they can take home. Your sign-in form should include a column for name, basic contact information including email, and a large column to tell you why they decided to come to a workshop. Taking a moment in the beginning to glance at the sign-in sheet will help you get an idea of who is in the room and what sort of information they are expecting to hear.
Some residents coming to the workshop may be hesitant to leave you their name and contact information. Be sure to let them know that you will keep their information confidential and that it will assist you with helping them by connecting them with other people in their area who share the same interest in helping cats.
Always end workshops by letting attendees know that you and your group need volunteer help and explain how they can sign up. Mention a few tasks for which you are most interested in finding help with (i.e., trapping, returning, fostering, office help), but be broad so that workshop attendees understand that your examples are only some of the types of activities for which you need help.
Once the workshop is over, be sure to collect the sign-in form. Later, enter the names of the attendees into a spreadsheet making separate columns for their name and each piece of contact information. Using Microsoft MapPoint, another mapping software, or website, input the individuals' information in order to map attendees' residences. As you conduct more workshops and have more attendees, you will likely see trends and you will be able to connect caregivers and those needing help with others in their neighborhood.

I just want to know if it is possible to prolong an erection with the help of workouts. Are there any specific exercises that can be done to help with this?

While the penis itself isn't a muscle that can be trained, but simply speaking just a sponge for blood, there are three muscles that are responsible for supporting ejaculation and maintaining an erection via compression of blood vessels.
Musculus retractor penis
And there you have it, pelvic floor exercises are an exercise you should try. These exercises are often used in prenatal exercises and to reduce incontinece, but you can use them too. The muscle serve a different function for women and various other functions for men. So don't be confused if you find a lot of information aimed at pregnant women or for older men.
I read about men that used these exercises and were very satisfied with the results.
Kegel Exercise (Pelvic floor exercises):
While these exercises seem to make use of special devices, there are "body weight" style exercises too, that only aim on contracting the pelvic floor muscles.
You should also aim for a good overall fitness, using other exercises (cardio, resistance workouts, sports, …) and a healthy diet.
While there is no specific exercise that will do this general good aerobic conditioning will help. So, keep going to the gym and stay healthy and you should have long, happy sex for years to come.

Critic Reviews
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
The first half of the film is engaging enough to overshadow the missteps of the final act. It's a down and dirty look at the world of the ko gals, but it has class.
Casting Tokyo as a neon wilderness thick with aged "perverts" and teenage pimps, the movie frames a critique of socially permissible pedophilia as indelible as Harada's eavesdropping mise-en-scène.
Rather than portraying these girls as one-dimensional victims, Harada offers a complex portrait of teenagers who've learned to make their exploitation work for them.
Bounce Ko Gals ultimately devolves into a litany of social ills, with not enough of a proper story, and Harada loses the thread of the film whenever he slips into slapstick comedy, or has his female leads play the role of giggly best friends.
Feels fabricated, studio-bound and claustrophobic, which doesn't add to the ripped-from-the-headlines authenticity this genre has always depended on.
Manages the difficult feat of being simultaneously sordid and tedious at the same time and is ultimately surprisingly tame despite its unrated status.
There are no user reviews yet.

What are some major military successes achieved by the former Soviet Union against the Western World that shook the US and its cold war allies?
What are some major military successes achieved by the former Soviet Union against the Western World?
There were none. Likewise, the U.S. never scored any military victories over the Soviet Union.
The Cold War was war by proxy. One superpower was a combatant in Afghanistan, Korea, and Vietnam, but the other did not send troops to the other side— partly out of fear of escalation into global conflict. Rather, they provided support to their allied local factions, as both did in the numerous other conflicts of the Cold War.
That is not to say that other military conflicts did not shake the Western powers. The single most significant development was the defeat of the Nationalists in the Chinese Civil War and the declaration of the People's Republic of China in 1949. The shock and the ensuing bitter debate over who had "lost" China colored American policy for a generation.

Just setup an OpenBSD 4.8 VM for VMWare Fusion. Can't seem to force X to any decent resolution. I attempted to try and use the VMWare tools for FreeBSD, but no dice.
Any suggestions to try and get at least 1280x1024?
Firstly, you can't use binaries or drivers for FreeBSD on OpenBSD. OpenBSD, NetBSD and FreeBSD are very different OS.
Respect to your problem with the resolution. You need configure Xorg, probably the problem is that you are using the driver "vesa" and no the driver "vmware".
Other suggestion: update to 5.1. OpenBSD enhances the hardware support with each new release.
If they are right, then you simply haven't configured X to use the full screen space (which is odd because it usually defaults to the best resolution). You should be able to change that in
More information would definitely help in diagnosing the issue, bit the above should lead you on the right path.

The Future Farmers of America are judging dairy cattle, but not just any students are invited to judge.
"I was in a dairy production class, and we were competing against other students, and I was selected."
Blake Steele is one of the Metcalfe County FFA students chosen to participate.
"It's good to know that I got chosen in my overall class to come up here and represent Metcalfe County."
It's not as easy as it looks. There are many things the judges keep an eye on.
"We have to judge different cows and heifers, and we have to give reasons why we chose them over others."
Blake also entered the agriculture mechanics competition. He won a blue ribbon for an Adirondack bench.
"That's what I was shooting for in the beginning. I wanted to find something to win first place."
Blake says he enjoys being in the FFA because of the competition at the State Fair level.
