The main treatment was amazing, our therapist communicated well with us how strong I liked my massage and always made sure I was comfortable. I had the 1.5hr Thai massage and oil massage, which felt like they went on forever, i wish it didn't stop! The Thai massage incorporated alot of stretching, this was great since I don't exercise, I found it helped loosen the tightened muscles I never use! haha..The oil massage was just divine."

| Nichols, L., Hydrocarbon Processing,
To comply with mandatory sulfur specifications for gasoline and diesel from 2013 to 2016, Saudi Arabia is spending billions of dollars to construct multiple clean-fuel projects.
[clean fuels]
[Middle East]
Around the world, legislation mandating decreased emissions and lower levels of
airborne pollutants is coming into effect. In response,
refiners are implementing operational and processing changes to
reduce sulfur levels in transportation fuels.
To comply with mandatory sulfur specifications for gasoline
and diesel between 2013 and 2016, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
plans to spend billions of dollars to construct multiple
clean-fuel projects. Saudi Arabia has adopted
European standards for fuel quality,
as Europe has been the frontrunner on
regulations for low-sulfur, clean transportation
Saudi Arabia is seeking to reduce sulfur content in diesel
and gasoline to 10 parts per million (ppm) and to lower benzene
content in gasoline to 1%. With these new fuel specifications,
Saudi Arabian refining operations will comply with
international standards. This will represent a dramatic
reduction in sulfur levels from June 2012, when Saudi
Arabias maximum sulfur level for diesel was greater than
500 ppm (Fig. 1). The planned upgrades and
revamps are necessary to meet future market demand for
higher-value, lower-sulfur transportation fuels.
Fig. 1. Global status of
maximum allowable sulfur in diesel fuel,
parts per million (June 2012).
Along with its joint ventures (JVs), Saudi Arabian national
oil company Saudi Aramco will upgrade all of the Kingdoms
domestic refineries to produce lower-sulfur transportation
fuels. Several projectsthe Ras Tanura Refinery Clean
Fuels and Aromatics project, the Riyadh Refinery Clean
Transportation Fuel project, the Saudi Aramco Mobil Refinery
Co. (SAMREF) Clean Fuels project and the PetroRabigh Clean
Fuels projectare designed to accomplish the
kingdoms goal of producing near-zero-sulfur fuels by
The Ras Tanura refinery is Saudi Aramcos most complex
refinery. Located on the Arabian Gulf, Ras Tanura has a crude
distillation capacity of 550
thousand barrels per day (Mbpd), a 305-Mbpd natural gas liquids
(NGLs) processing facility, a 960-Mbpd crude oil stabilization
facility and 75 crude oil storage tanks with a combined
capacity of 5.8 million barrels (MMbbl). Most of Ras
Tanuras production is slated for domestic use.
The $3 billion (B) project is scheduled for completion in
2016. The projects main goals are to produce cleaner
fuels and to increase production of paraxylene, benzene and
toluene. Annual production capacity could reach 1 million tons
per year (MMtpy) of aromatics.
In May 2011, Jacobs Engineerings Middle Eastern unit,
Jacobs, Zumal and Turbag Consulting Engineers (Jacobs ZATE) was
awarded the front-end engineering and design (FEED) contract
under Saudi Aramcos General Engineering and Project
Management Services (GES+) contract. Jacobs acquired ZATE in
2008 to fulfill Saudi Aramcos GES+ initiative. The GES+
initiative is designed to increase local content in Saudi
Arabia for engineering services such as FEED, feasibility
studies, procurement and project management services.
Jacobs will be responsible for FEED services for both inside
and outside battery limits. These services include
modifications to the refinery to comply with future environmental regulations and to
increase diversity of petrochemical products. FEED should
be completed in early 2013, with calls to tender for multiple
engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contracts
scheduled for the second quarter of 2013.
Located in the central region of Saudi Arabia, the 124-Mbpd
Riyadh refinery is supplied with crude oil
from the East-West pipeline. In April 2011, Foster Wheeler and
A. Al-Saihati, A. Fattani & O. Al-Othman Consulting
Engineering Co. (SOFCON) were awarded the FEED and project
management consultancy (PMC) services contracts for this
The $1 B upgrade project is designed to reduce sulfur
content in diesel from 330 ppm to 10 ppm and to also decrease
benzene levels in gasoline. It is the first brownfield project
of this magnitude to be awarded by Saudi Aramco. The project
scope includes:
Submission of bids for the EPC contract ended in October
2012. Saudi Aramco expects to award the EPC contract in early
2013 to Daelim Industrial, JGC Corp., Saipem or Samsung
SAMREF is an equally owned JV between Saudi Aramco and
ExxonMobils wholly owned subsidiary, Mobil Yanbu Refining Co. Located on the coast of
the Red Sea, SAMREFs Yanbu refinery is the worlds
largest single-train refinery. This site processes 400 Mbpd of
crude oil into fuels, of which half is consumed
SAMREFs Yanbu refinery will undergo significant
modifications to produce cleaner fuels by reducing sulfur
levels by more than 98% in gasoline by 2013, and in diesel by
2016. The execution will be split into two phases. Phase 1 will
begin during a 45-day maintenance shutdown in March 2013.
A grassroots desulfurization train to treat 60 Mbpd of fluid
catalytic cracking (FCC) gasoline will be installed. A revamp
of the 98-Mbpd distillate hydrotreater and refinery utilities infrastructure
will also begin. WorleyParsons is responsible for FEED and EPC
of the facilities.
Phase 2 is scheduled to start up by the end of 2015. The
scope includes a new high-pressure distillate hydrotreater, a
hydrogen manufacturing unit, a sulfur recovery unit, and
offsites and utilities infrastructure. The $2.5 B project is
scheduled for completion in 2016.
Rabigh Refining and Petrochemical Co., or PetroRabigh,
is an equally owned JV between Saudi Aramco and Sumitomo
Chemical Co. of Japan. Located on Saudi Arabias west
coast, the PetroRabigh complex is one of the largest integrated
refining and petrochemical complexes in the world. With a
capacity of 400 Mbpd, it is also designed to produce a total of
2.4 MMt of petrochemical solids and liquids.
To meet international environmental standards, the $1 B
clean-fuels project is designed to reduce sulfur content in
gasoline from 300 ppm to 10 ppm. At present, the FEED contract
is in the bidding phase, with seven companies vying for the
contract. The scope of the FEED contract includes designing the
facilities, setting specifications
for equipment required, evaluating potential licensors,
adjusting capital expenditures and operating costs, and
estimating labor and time frames for the EPC phase.
Saudi Arabia is not the only Middle Eastern country with
clean-fuels projects. Kuwaits national oil company,
Kuwait National Petroleum Co. (KNPC), is investing $31 B in a
project to modernize the countrys Mina Abdullah and Mina
Al-Ahmadi refineries, as well as to increase total crude oil
throughput to 800 Mbpd.
KNPC will construct and revamp several units in both
refineries to process environmentally friendly fuels with
significantly lower sulfur content. Major units to be added
include atmospheric residue desulfurization units,
isomerization units, sulfur recovery units, amine regeneration
units, vacuum rerun units, delayed coker units and liquefied
petroleum gas (LPG) treating units.
In mid-December 2012, Foster Wheeler was awarded a PMC
services contract valued at $500 MM. Foster Wheeler will be
responsible for all PMC services during the tendering phase of
the main EPC contracts, along with management of the EPC
contractors through completion of performance testing. EPC
contracts are expected to be awarded in the second quarter of
2013. Overall completion of the project is set for 2018.
On the other side of the world, Lake Charles Clean Energy
(LCCE), a subsidiary of Leucadia Energy, is investing $2.5 B in
a state-of-the-art plant that will use advanced gasification technology to cleanly manufacture
industrial products from petroleum coke. The LCCE project,
located at the Port of Lake Charles, Louisiana, US, will
provide clean
fuels for the states domestic petrochemical industry and use carbon-capture technologies to
enhance domestic oil production. Construction is scheduled to begin
in 2013.
Turner Industries Group is the constructor for the project,
and KBR will provide design, engineering and procurement
services. LCCE will acquire petcoke from Koch Carbon amounting to 7,000 metric
tons of petcoke per day from US Gulf Coast refiners. LCCE will
extract the beneficial energy from petcoke while avoiding
harmful emissions and producing no
In addition to limiting emissions, this plant is designed to
capture, compress and sell 90% of its CO2
production. The 4.5 MMtpy of captured CO2 will be
sold for use in enhanced oil recovery operations along the US
Gulf Coast. LCCE is expected to be one of the worlds
lowest-cost producers of methanol and hydrogen, as well as a
low-cost producer of other products used in the chemical and refining industries. The LCCE project will be the first of its
kind in the US.
Whether it is lowering sulfur content in transportation
fuels or using gasification to manufacture cleaner fuels,
refiners around the world are utilizing new technologies to
create cleaner petroleum products for consumers.

Good, that means, there are many works to do
What an advanced technological lead by KSA for other OPEC countries to follow espercially my beloved country Nigeria. Quality improvement program for petroleum products must surely follow quantity programs in due course.

This is a big step toward environmental protection. Congratulations
KSA has surplus money to invest into such kind of projects. It does not have pollution problem.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.
Is 2016 the peak for US gasoline demand?

The 6 Most Pathetic Attempts to Get Super Bowl Tickets
So you're a football fan who's desperate to get your hands on some Super Bowl tickets. You can't afford to buy any without selling your car and two major organs, and you have absolutely no other useful possessions, or even skills, to offer the world.
What do you do? You post a sad, desperate plea on the Internet. Maybe it'll work, maybe it won't. But either way, Cracked will make fun of you.
#6. Woman Sells Ad Space on Pregnant Stomach
There are some fantastic wives in this world, and then there is Jennifer Gordon. At eight months pregnant, a time when many women would be raining down hellfire on their husbands for even daring to watch football, she hatched a foolproof plan to get her and her man to Super Bowl XLI in person. Hell. Yes.
All she had to do was go on the Internet and offer to paint any message on her pregnant belly in exchange for Super Bowl tickets. Wait, did we say the plan was foolproof? We think that was the wrong word.
Naturally, being that this is the Internet, the offers poured in. Would she get off merely having to paint her belly to look like the Death Star? Or some 4chan meme, such as a dude in an afro saying, "VAGINA'S CLOSED"? Or, would she find herself at the 50-yard line with "THE DADDY COULD BE ANY OF SIX NAMELESS HOBOS" stamped in giant letters on her abdomen?
After sifting through over 200 offers, many of which were described as "wacky" or "X-rated" (who could have predicted that?), she got off with merely having to advertise a Chicago-based company called UBid.com (auctions? On the Internet? Why didn't anyone else think of that?!).
eBay already shotgunned the fetus.
UBid.com lamely just had her put the logo on her belly, passing up countless opportunities for meta humor, ie, "BID FOR MY VIRGINITY AT UBID.COM!" You got off easy this time, Jennifer Gordon.
#5. Troy Polamalu Lookalike Will Bang Your Wife
With this guy we go from real fan dedication to whatever you call the opposite of that. In the whole universe of people offering extraordinary stuff in exchange for tickets to the big game, we have this Craigslist posting. What does this guy have to offer? Well, you know, whatever. On the short list of mundane tasks he's willing to take off your hands: shoveling your snow for a year, fixing your pipes, driving your kids around or repairing your computer.
That's right, for the ultra-low price of just relinquishing your multi-thousand dollar Super Bowl ticket, he will, literally, perform hundreds of dollars worth the mundane tasks.
Of course none of that would qualify him for this list on its own. No, it's his casual offer to "bang your wife" that he throws on the same list as "repair your computer" that we admire. It's hard to imagine a scenario where this would be useful, or at least useful to the tune of being worth giving up seats at the Super Bowl. We can only think of one:
The wife is a huge Steelers fan. The husband hates football, but was going to be dragged to the Super Bowl after his wife got tickets. So one day before the game, he leaves the wife home alone. She gets a knock at the door, and opens it to see this dude standing there in his number 43 jersey. "Ma'am, I'm Troy Polamalu, of the Pittsburgh Steelers. I cannot explain why, but I need your Super Bowl tickets. And I will do anything to get them. Anything. Oh, please excuse me, my Troy Polamalu dong has just slipped out of my pants."
Everybody wins.
#4. Please, Help a Poor Family Out
These are tough economic times. The stock market is struggling, unemployment is kicking all sorts of ass and, lately, Cracked has taken to paying its writers in unused flooz.com credits. But do lean times have to mean people miss out on a trip to the big game? Of course not.
Take this destitute family's Craigslist posting, for example. The headline says it all: "need Super Bowl tix for me and my 3 kids - We are poor."
And just in case that plea didn't tug on the ol' heartstrings enough to get people to give up their tickets for free, the ad went on to explain that the hard-luck family would pay $5200.00 for the four tickets.
My destitute family thanks you for your kindness.
Apparently, between the time the ad was first run and now, someone asked why they wouldn't use the five grand on, say, food or rent. The post was then edited to confess that the whole "poor" thing was an exaggeration. Oh and, apparently, this heart-of-gold schemer doesn't have kids either.
No, you misunderstand, I meant that I'm morally bankrupt.
So it was a pretty good plan, except for... well, every word of that stuff we described up there. But if you'd like to send a wealthy fuckstick and three friends to Tampa, that offer is still on the table.

5 Clearly Fake News Stories That Fooled the Media
Technology hasn't made journalism any easier. Or rather, it hasn't made good journalism any easier. When every news outlet feels like it has to break stories before Twitter has the chance, a lot of corners get cut. Specifically, the corner called "fact checking."
It doesn't help when the story is one you know your audience will love. That's why we see ridiculously untrue headlines like ...
#5. "Internet Explorer Users Have Low IQs"
The Story:
We've always assumed that people who still use uninspiring and dull software like Microsoft's Internet Explorer (you know, the browser that, ugh, came with your computer) probably only surf the Web when they're not busy churning butter by hand while listening to their AM radio. Oh, and also they are monkeys savagely banging on computer keyboards.
Chris Lott
You may laugh, but they'll finish writing the next A Song of Ice and Fire book before George does.
Well, our suspicions were confirmed when several tech news outlets including The Telegraph, Yahoo! News, The Huffington Post and Mashable all reported that a study of 100,000 computer users found that people who still use IE to surf the Web have lower IQs on average than those who use competing Web browsers like Firefox or Chrome.
They Believed It Because:
It fits a narrative we all love: Users of [insert product/technology here] are [prettier, smarter, better endowed] than users of [insert competing technology here]. It's like those stories that came out a while back saying that science shows that Apple users are brainwashed zealots. Windows users everywhere nodded and said, "Yep, that sounds right."
Then they torched an Apple Store and made a PowerPoint about their experiences.
The Truth:
The IE-user IQ study had supposedly been conducted by a Canadian firm called AptiQuant, whose website had only been on the Web for a full month at the time. Also, according to the BBC, some of the images used on the site, including photos of the company's staff, were copied directly from a French company called Central Test, which also provides online psychometric and IQ testing. Reporters saw it and ran with it, probably because it included important-looking and colorful graphs that could easily translate the data for those very same "dumb" Internet Explorer users they were secondhand insulting.
"By God, a Vennpie graph. This MUST be legit."
Eventually, a representative of the Canadian company confirmed that the whole story was just meant to be a joke about IE6's incompatibilities and was not intended to be taken seriously as actual news. However, even if it was meant to be a real press release, something else about the "study" should have tipped off reporters: The release stated that all of the interviews for the study were conducted through free online IQ tests. You know, the ones you've probably filled out by clicking on a banner ad somewhere, only to find out that you were in fact a genius. There was no mention of whether the data collected was verified in any way, or if it was just something your grandma was filling out with random answers because she thought she'd win a free iPad.
"That's a very impressive anus, Mr. Google. But I don't see what it has to do with goats."
And just in general, be wary of any story that tries to tie some broad population trend to IQ (like the election-season classic showing that voters for one party have higher IQs than the other). Ironically, the only people who think intelligence is that easy to measure and quantify are the stupid ones.
#4. "Fat Santa Claus to Blame for Childhood Obesity"
The Story:
The British Medical Journal gave Santa a cheap shot right in his considerable gut in 2009 when they announced in a press release that a new study at Monash University in Australia had found that Santa's image as a bowl full of drunken, cookie-fueled diabetes actually encourages impressionable kids to lead similarly unhealthy lifestyles as they get older.
"I'm going to punch you full of presents."
The story went global overnight, being reported by Bloomberg News, The Telegraph, CBSNews and several other major news outlets where, apparently, turning off your ability to detect humor is a job requirement.
The study blamed Santa for influencing a wealth of unhealthy behaviors, including smoking, drinking and driving and spreading infectious diseases by letting kids sit on his filthy, filthy lap. They even tried to blame Santa for spreading the freaking swine flu epidemic.
And for mething up his reindeer to make better time.
They Believed It Because:
Christmas is under attack by the PC police! Best stock up on ornaments and wrapping paper while it lasts, boys and girls! And most importantly, you'd better buy our newspaper or come to our website, in order to keep tabs on these fun-killing bastards!
The Truth:
The author of the "study," Dr. Nathan Grills, admitted that the story was only meant to be a Christmas joke, something the British Medical Journal has often printed for its end-of-year issue. Beyond that, however, it's painfully clear that the outlets that reported the study only sourced the press release and the subscription page that featured excerpts from the report, rather than reading the actual report, probably because the additional $30 in research expenses would finally complete the collapse of the fragile newspaper industry.
They completely missed the real Yuletide danger: Frozen reindeer shit kills dozens each year.
You see, aside from the fact that the press release explicitly states "There were no peer reviewed publications on this issue," the report itself cites some questionable sources, such as Fast Food Nation author Eric Schlosser and Super Size Me director Morgan Spurlock's book Don't Eat This Book. Hell, it even quotes a Yahoo! Answers page for the question "What do you leave for Santa?" Presumably the answer is "Lots of hand sanitizer, insulin, NicoDerm patches and the phone number of the local A.A."
#3. "Christopher Walken Confesses on Live Radio About an Actress's Death"
The Story:
Highly acclaimed actor and scarer of small children Christopher Walken has rarely uttered a public word about the tragic events back in 1981 that led to the untimely death of American sweetheart and film star Natalie Wood. Walken was on a yacht with Wood and her husband, Robert Wagner, when Wood fell into the water in a drunken stupor. So when Walken decided to break his long silence, of course he did it live on morning drive-time radio and on, of all places, a sports radio gabfest.
Between the wildly popular "What Are You Eating Right Now?" and "Frog or Dog?" features.
At least that's what the Associated Press reported at the tail end of 2011, when they ran a story stating that Walken had appeared on ESPN 980 AM in Washington, D.C., where he spilled new details about the events that led to Wood's death while discussing the case, which had recently been reopened by the LAPD. Walken claimed that the occupants of the yacht had been drinking obscene amounts of sambuca, followed by some shouting and finally (and you really have to imagine this next line in Walken's voice), "There was tragedy."
Also the look in his eyes.
They Believed It Because:
Celebrities all lead out-of-control lives and all become Charlie Sheen behind closed doors. Each time they talk frankly about it, we feel a little bit better about having spent an entire weekend in bed eating a huge tub of cheese puffs.
The Truth:
With the exception of a single Playboy interview, Walken has rarely spoken a public word about the incident. So it's understandable that hearing Walken's trademark staccato stammer leaking new details about that fateful night would be big celebrity news. The only problem is that the "Walken" in question was actually Marc Sterne -- one of the morning radio show's producers -- doing an impersonation of him as part of a weekly skit where he gives fantasy football advice in Walken's voice.
"The Jets are hidin' Tebow in the one place they know they can hide somethin'. Their ass."
But how was a lowly AP reporter supposed to know that?! Well, the previously mentioned fact that Walken had only publicly discussed the case once in 30 freaking years might have been the first clue. Another is that Sterne's Walken impersonation apparently isn't even that good -- he himself said, "Let's be honest, I'm sure Julia Roberts does a better Christopher Walken than I do and I'm embarrassed for the AP reporter."
Sterne isn't a gifted mimic -- this is his Cosby.
Though, to be fair, we have to admit that the reporter did his due diligence: He phoned the radio station and left a message regarding the Walken "interview" -- after the AP story was published.

Penn Abramson Cancer Center Researcher Presents at AAAS Annual Meeting On the Implications of Genetic Research on Cancer Prevention
Please use for reference only.
The Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania
Last Modified: March 4, 2005
(February 20, 2005, Philadelphia, PA) Timothy R. Rebbeck, Ph.D., Director of the Cancer Epidemiology and Risk Reduction Program of the Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania, will be presenting "Genetic Screening and Cancer Risk Reduction: BRCA1 and BRCA2 " at the 2005 AAAS Annual Meeting in Washington, DC, being held this Thursday through Monday, February 17-20 th.
As part of the Sunday symposium "Cancer Screening and Its Impact on Cancer Mortality," Rebbeck will discuss the implications of genetic research in cancer prevention. "We have acquired vast amounts of information about the human genome, but what does it mean?" asks Rebbeck. "How can we apply this information into better understanding a woman's risk of breast cancer or ovarian cancer? And perhaps most importantly, how can we use knowledge of the human genome to improve cancer treatment and prevention?"
According to Rebbeck, the impact of the human genome initiatives will only be realized if we can use this information to identify cancer susceptibility genes that are truly causal and minimize the potential for spurious relationships. This requires the proper development and application of approaches that address the complex genetic and environmental causes of human cancer, and the utilization of appropriate methods to translate this information into cancer prevention and treatment options.
Rebbeck a Professor of Biostatistics and Epidemiology at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, will be available to discuss the promise of the human genome for improving human health and disease during the 2 p.m. news briefing on Sunday, February 20, 2005.

A controlled burn of an unoccupied house caused excitement in the Sawyer area late Tuesday morning. Jonathan Flora had notified the Pratt County Sheriff and the Sawyer fire chief but when the set the old abandoned house on fire a neighbor who didn't know about the fire called it in and said the house was fully engulfed. Sawyer fire chief Steven Flora quickly set the facts straight. Sawyer fire trucks did go to the site one mile west of Sawyer and were on standby in case the fire would spread. They also kept a spray of water on a small storage building just a few feet from the house. However, the shed did suffer some distorted siding from the heat. The remains of the house will be removed and grass planted. The house was burned because it was continually losing roof shingles and siding.

Sophie's Choice: Grieving and pizza
Hey there, dear reader-and-a-half. Again, I have been tardy in fulfilling my columnist duties, and for those of you who couldn't find anything to wrap your Haddock and chips in, I apologize. I pondered penning a column about the amusing folly of designer Michael Kor's Astroturf bikini (a veritable bargain at $540), but that subject turns out to be quite skimpy, both literally and literary. Plus I've had more pressing matters on my mind lately. James and I met in community college while auditioning for that classic representation of modern theater, The Rocky Horror Picture Show. While we became friends, we treated one another with the social awkwardness of the young and mutually attracted: shy, longing, sweet and emotionally clumsy, but well meaning. Because of that timidity, we parted ways with no resolution to our affections for one another. We had no contact for six years, until we found each other online at the beginning of last year. It was as if our roads had only diverged for a matter of days. Things progressed from there, and the last time I saw him in California I asked him to be my boyfriend. Which, in this day and age, we joked, means changing the relationship status on your Facebook profile. We had a good laugh about that. He died in California in a head-on car collision. When this is published it will be almost a month. Just to clarify, when it comes to romantic relations between the genders, I don't believe in "The One." It's a concept force fed to us by soppy Hollywood rom-coms and insipid popular music in an effort to peddle sentiment, make us moon-eyed and relieve us of our hard earned cash. But this guy was The One. I'm not writing this to wave a tear-stained hankie in anyone's face. The support I've received from my family at home and at work has been moving, not to mention the kind and poignant words and gestures from friends, acquaintances and even people who were strangers to me. Nor am I alone in my grief. I'm not the only one who has lost a dear friend---and no matter how I try, I can't imagine what it's like to lose a son or a brother. A few years ago I wrote a column regarding the death of my Grandma and namesake, Sophie. Though any death of a loved one is obviously never easy, hers was one of quiet dignity that came after a long life---she was 76 years old, she was content and proud of the life she had built, and happy that she had lived long enough to see her grandchildren grow into adults. We got to say our goodbyes. When someone is suddenly gone unexpectedly and violently, it's like a great tearing---as if someone has punched a hole right through you just to see if they actually could. Like some powerful, unimaginable force has your heart in its hands and is slowly squeezing the blood out of it. Make up your own Chuck Norris joke here. It just sucks, plain and simple. The five stages of grief are indeed an interesting song and dance, though I can see why they never made it to the Top 40. At first I couldn't believe he was gone. Didn't want to. The phone would ring, and it would be him telling me the sheriff's department and EMTs made a mistake. Or even better, he would walk through the door and I would see that it was some bass-ackwards clerical error. When that passed it was anger's turn to raise its ugly head. Why? Why had he been taken away when he was so happy, when he had so much to offer, when we still had memories we wanted to make? For each of these questions I couldn't answer, I just became more and more incensed. It reached a crescendo when I returned from California after attending his memorial---I had been gone from work for several days and went to the office in the evening to do some catching up. While I was there I found a plate I had brought from home when I had pizza for lunch the day before he died. It reminded me of when I had gone to visit him last---pizza seemed to be the staple meal throughout my visit. We had it the day I arrived then again at a place called Pacino's, where there was more Scar Face memorabilia than in a gangster rapper's living room, and one of their toppings was cashews, but we had so much fun. We were with his guy friends, all of us laughing, teasing one another, and feeling like we had all the time in the world. As I held the plate to my chest and walked back to my apartment, it suddenly occurred to me how James would never eat pizza again and how unfair that was. So I hurled the plate to the pavement as hard as I could. I wanted to hear it shatter over and over again. Anything to drown out the silence and what it meant. A cup of tea was added to my hardwood floor later, but this is not the editorial on warfare against dishes (though in my defense, the pattern on that mug was chintzy. It was a White Elephant gift). I know I'm not the only one who has felt like this. I only write it because this is the first time I've ever felt like this. They say that time makes things better, and I have to believe that. Besides, he gave me a lot of things to be grateful for. If that's not something to smile about, then this was a waste of column space.

I originally had Windows XP on my computer. Then I decided to download Ubuntu 12.04. I didn't use any CDs or USBs or anything. I did not know that in doing so I wouldn't have access to any of my files. If I switch back to XP will my files still be there? If so, how do I switch back?
Sounds like that you are using Wubi since you said that you didn't use any USB drives and CD's.
To access your C Drive in Wubi, click the Folder icon on the launcher, then click File System on the sidebar. Go to /host and you will see your C drive on Windows XP.
To uninstall Ubuntu, go to the Control Panel and uninstall "Ubuntu".
Your files will still be there as usual. But not those files that you created in Ubuntu.
If you mean you used wubi, then yes, your files should still be there. If you used a live cd/dvd/usb, It's possible you could have deleted XP. Does it show XP at the boot menu? If so, navigating to it and pressing enter should boot your old OS. If XP doesn't appear in the boot menu, then most likely you're out of luck.
I guess you mean you use
If you are referring to boot into the XP, yes, you will find your files there. But if you are referring to Installing XP again by removing Ubuntu installation, which probably be installed inside the Windows. You will not get your file, if you install XP again in the same partition.
You can uninstall Ubuntu (if you used wubi method) just as like as you uninstall any other program in XP. Going to

After more than six months of waiting, it appears that physical work is about to start on laying down asphalt on the first of five potential entry points for boaters to Bayou Bartholomew.
The Morehouse Parish Police Jury and other volunteers are working to establish a local canoe trail for outdoor enthusiasts.
During the past several days stakes and asphalt have been stacked near the Bonner Ferry Road and Crossett Highway intersection just north of Log Cabin.
Kay King, Morehouse Economic Development Corp. CEO, said response from people in the community has been "exciting" about the realization of the trail, which stakeholders are hopeful could eventually lead to a popular destination for out-of-towners and also become a boon for the local economy.
"As we see the work get done on, it's a real boost for us to have the first one get started as we work toward the other points," she said.
Nearly all the expenses for the access point at Bonner Ferry are provided by the state due to its removal of a former launch site there when a new bridge was built several years ago and a 1-acre land swap was exchanged between the Jury and the state.
King is in the process of completing necessary paperwork through the state transportation department to get permission to asphalt the remaining points – one at a time.
"We are working through some environmental issues with those sites right now," she said.
Once the Jury gets the OK from LDOTD, it will pursue matching grants to pay for establishing the remaining launch sites.

pacman stopped working and asked me to delete a file if "another package manager isn't working". What is the file for deleting files?
You delete files with the
I hate to be "that guy", but if you don't know how to delete a file from the Linux command line, Arch is not the Linux distribution for you. Try something easier, like Ubuntu or Linux Mint first.
If pacman is complaining there is ususally a good reason; don't ignore complaints unless you find good reason to, e.g. if it says "it's okay to ignore the error". Good practice would be to check your logs first and foremost.
A lot of the logs live in
It's also worth seriously noting that running two package managers/instances of

The one thing that you should learn early is that deleting anything should be your absolute last resort, in any situation with linux. There is no 'trash bin' with the commandline, delete really means its gone.

News Release (Back to Menu)
February 25 CLE Program on School Funding and Education Reform
On Monday, February 25, 2013 from 5 – 7 pm, the Rutgers Institute for Professional Education will present "Examining the NJ Supreme Court's Commitment to School Funding and Education Reform: Robinson v. Cahill and Abbott v. Burke." The program, to be held at Rutgers School of Law–Newark, will focus on the two most recent decisions in Abbott.
Faculty for the CLE program are Hon. Deborah T. Poritz, retired Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of New Jersey, and Paul T. Tractenberg, Rutgers School of Law–Newark.
Justice Poritz served as Chief Justice from 1996 to 2006 and as New Jersey Attorney General from 1994 to 1996, a period that proved to be critical in the evolution of Abbott. She is currently Visiting Jurist Emerita-in-Residence at Rutgers School of Law–Newark and Rutgers School of Law–Camden, where she teaches courses on the New Jersey Supreme Court.
Professor Tractenberg established the Education Law Center, a public interest legal project that has been the attorney for the student plaintiffs throughout the Abbott litigation.

Painted Soap
- Bar of soap
- Water-based paints
- Small paintbrushes
Place soap on a sheet of newspaper. Mix paints and put colors in separate containers (paper cups). Let your child paint directly onto the soap with brushes or her fingers. Let the paint dry. The design can be readily washed off and your child can begin another one, or these soaps can be put on display in guest bathrooms before parties or special events. If you do the painting on aroma-rich soap, they can be placed in a bowl as room deodorizers.

I'm thinking during maintenance time at my website instead of showing "Maintenance Page" redirect to the same idea site. It takes some time up to 1 hour
And I'm thinking to use temporary redirect.
What is the negative side of doing that?
Regardless of SEO, I suspect that would be confusing to users. If they are expecting to see one website and then see another without an explanation what would they think? Wouldn't an explanatory message that the site is down for maintenance with a link to the other site be not only more transparent for users, but good for search engines as well?

User Comments for Week 5 RB Rankings
Chris Johnson moved up to #15? Daaang son, I may have to start him, but the Vikes D is pretty stout. Although my only other options are Ryan Williams/Rashard Mendenhall.
Hizenthorn 10/02/12 08:48 PM
Mathews, Turner, Bradshaw, and Morris. I need to start 3, Any ideas?
strahl9 10/02/12 11:35 PM
Turner, he's on a roll and as much as I appreciate the help these guys provide, they've been way too low on him lately! They had him really low last week and before and he did well both weeks! He is also playing Washington who has a really shotty defense....Blows my mind that they have several backups that hardly even play ranked higher...washington, Thigpen, etc...just to name a few!!! WTH?!
porkstu 10/03/12 09:58 AM
Bradshaw, Benson, and Sproles.... pick 2 in a non-ppr league
bourney 10/03/12 10:44 AM
@Porkstu I personally would start Morris this week.
Sickcision 10/03/12 11:18 AM
@Bourney Bradshaw and Sproles.
Sickcision 10/03/12 11:19 AM
16 team PPR league....Shaun Draughn or CJ Spiller to start as my #2.....leaning toward Draughn as far as matchup and Spiller's possible nagging injury, but with Gray and Charles having great runs last week wondering if Draughn will produce. Opinions?
DrewFL1988 10/03/12 05:36 PM
12 team, 1/2 point PPR league...my RBs on my team are Spiller, Sproles, and Stewart, my WRs are Wallace, Welker, Moore, Kerley, and Avery. Trade offer of: Stevan Ridley, Jerome Simpson, and Vikings D for Wallace, Stewart, and Cards D. I have no idea what to do and have been going back and forth on this for days. The RBs are scarce on waivers (at best Battle or Bolden), and I am 4th on my waivers which I might be able to pick up Andre Roberts or Domenik Hixon (if I go thru with this trade, if not I'm targeting RBs). I have Tom Brady as well, so with Ridley I have a 80-90% chance of any TD when Pats in red zone, then again Bellichicks running back by committee greatly worries me. If I do the trade it would bring me a little more balance but lose a top tier WR, if I don't I rely on CJ Spiller as a RB 1 or 2 to make the most out of his 50/50 timeshare (if it stays that way). Just looking for advice or opinions...
goalee1486 10/03/12 06:11 PM
@Strahl @Sickcision I love Alfred Morris this year, dude runs hard and with purpose. However, his teams secondary is terrible. And with the Atlanta Falcons offense about to cause havoc I can't see Morris having the games he has been. Redskins will be playing from behind. Mathews, Turner, and Bradshaw have much more favorable match ups this week. If you want to roll the dice with Morris though, I'd suggest benching Bradshaw instead of Turner and Mathews.
xxjonesy87 10/03/12 07:02 PM
Already starting Beast Mode as RB1, just don't know who to use as RB2? I have Shaun Draughn(VS. Bal), Daryl Richardson(VS. Ari), and Mark Ingram(VS. SD).
giwarriors12 10/03/12 10:00 PM
Steven Jackson at #18 while Cedric Benson is #29? Did you look at history, injury report & matchup?
dj-dale 10/03/12 10:13 PM
Hey need some help I'm in a non PPR league and need to play 2 RB, 2 WR and 1 flex for RB's I have LeSean McCoy PHI, Jamaal Charles KC and Alfred Morris WAS, then for WR's I have Andre Johnson HOU, Danny Amendola STL, Andre Roberts AZ and DeSean Jackson PHI. So witch players should i start in WR slots, RB slots and the 1 Flex slot. I'd very much appreciate anybody and everyone's thoughts on this so pls comment thanks. Oh also Brian Hartline Is still there and right now is an FA in my league should I drop Andre Roberts, or any others above for him? Watcha think
Six19R_OG-Mobsta 10/03/12 10:35 PM
Start LeSean McCoy, Jamaal Charles, Andre Johnson, drop Danny Amendola, pick up Brian Hartline, start Hartline and use Andre Roberts as flex. my two cents
giwarriors12 10/03/12 11:53 PM
Trade: Doug Martin and Stevie Johnson for Matt Forte? Is that too much? - Or, Doug Martin and Stevie Johnson for DeMarco Murray and Matt Schaub?
KennyBrittle 10/04/12 03:44 AM
I think it'd depend on what you already have at RB and QB
giwarriors12 10/04/12 04:39 AM
Trade: He wants A. Morris ( I have Lynch, Rice and Matthews) I get WR- M. Wallace i am weak in that area (D. Bryant, H.Nicks, Maclin, D.Thomas and Hartline) PS i picked Morris in rnd 16 so he is a very good keeper candidate for me as well. My gut tells me to hang tight and hope Nicks gets healthy, any thoughts??
woodster99 10/04/12 08:36 AM
Spiller 9.7 and Jackson 8.7 = 18.4 are going to be better than Ray Rice 18.0.
ricardodw 10/04/12 10:29 AM
would any of you guys make this trade:
give up spiller for mathews...
i currently have:
porkstu 10/04/12 10:51 AM
strahl9...as far as 3 RBs I meant to say turner, mathews, and morris!!!
porkstu 10/04/12 10:52 AM
Matt214racer...i would go:
RBs - charles, morris
WRs - jackson, johnson
Flex - amendola
even though i hate saying anyone is going to have a good game against my falcons!!!
porkstu 10/04/12 11:03 AM
@ giwarriors12 DROP AMENDOLA IN A PPR LEAGUE??? are you nuts??? at best you hope hartline can put up amendola numbers every week.
disregard any messages from that jabroni
davinciconcrete 10/04/12 03:53 PM
alfred morris, willis mcgahee, bradshaw, ryan williams, owen daniels. choose 3/5
alfrickinmeida 10/04/12 04:05 PM
Morris, Bradshaw and McGahee I would say... Unless you really want to roll the dice on Williams. I'd rather go with the more trusted players at the moment.
KennyBrittle 10/04/12 05:58 PM
Trade: Doug Martin, Percy Harvin and Stevie Johnson for Jamaal Charles and Jordy Nelson or Marshawn Lynch and Jordy Nelson? Or do you think Doug Martin and Stevie Johnson are enough for Lynch or Charles straight up?
KennyBrittle 10/04/12 06:03 PM
In a huge bind guys and ARZ plays tonight:
Chris Johnson, Ryan Williams, or Donald Brown... pick 1
I hate CJ griefing me like this
anomz 10/04/12 06:29 PM
Call me crazy, but I like Williams as a top RB2 tonight
jhstewart 10/04/12 06:52 PM
Williams tonight vs. the Rams.
KennyBrittle 10/04/12 07:35 PM
In a 1/2 PPR league, do I start CJ Spiller vs 49ers or Jackie Battle vs Saints?
goalee1486 10/04/12 09:12 PM
@davinciconcrete, please read carefully what was typed by Matt214racer in regards to that: "Hey need some help I'm in a non PPR league and need to play 2 RB, 2 WR and 1 flex for RB's".
giwarriors12 10/05/12 01:27 AM
Sry bout that I got for RB's Jamaal Charles, LeSean McCoy Alfred Morris
Six19R_OG-Mobsta 10/05/12 07:16 AM
Since Danny Amendola got inured and there's a lot of good WR's in my FA pick up who should I go with, these r some of them James Jones, Andrew Hawkins, Armon Binns, Jerome Simpson, Devery Henderson, Brandon Tate, Leonard Hankerson, B. Laflel, Domenik Hixon, D. Driver, H. Douglas, D. Avery, M. Crabtree, Kendall Wright, Malcom Floyd etc basically there's still a lot of pretty good players that haven't been picked up yet and I also am dropping my back up K G. Zuerlin bc I only needed him this week so I have 2 players I can get from FA instantly and if any of then would be better then who I've got starting now I can switch them so let me know wat all of u think thanks
Six19R_OG-Mobsta 10/05/12 07:46 AM
Remember it's NON PPR k I also have RB M. Lesheour but he's got his bye week

wow, they have m.bush projected to get nearly 9 points on here but he's not listed anywhere on the flex rankings...and what's with the annoying sponsor rolldown advertisement up top!? that damn thing pops up randomly and is loud as hell!!!!
porkstu 10/06/12 10:39 AM
CJSpiller or Andre Brown this week? I am wondering about RAIN in NYC this Sunday. I'm predicting a CLE UPSET - ! they excel at mudbaths. i think AB may be used more if raining..and CJ...? ANY thoughts appreciated.
kawkaw999 10/06/12 02:39 PM
PPR, thanks to bye weeks, Donald Brown or Mendy?
KennyBrittle 10/06/12 03:16 PM
Thanks to Chris Johnsons slow start im weak at RB. My RBs are Chris Johnson, Frank Gore, Demarco Murray and Shonn Green. Im strong at WR with Torrey Smith, Julio Jones, Larry Fitz and Jeremy Maclin. Should I trade Julio and Demarco for Trent Richardson and Dwayne Bowe? I would rather give up someone besides Julio but I need the RB help.
vincent854 10/06/12 09:51 PM
@vincent854 I wouldn't give up on DeMarco just yet... Coming off the bye he has the one bad matchup with the Ravens... But then its clear sailing. Instead of targeting a guy like Trent, you should target Mathews or another RB that has stressed his owners out thus far so you don't have to give up as much. I would keep Julio and try to move Fitz/Torrey with CJ...
KennyBrittle 10/06/12 11:39 PM

Nvm Domenik Hixon bc I picked him up for my back up Def and I can't drop Amendola or Zuerlin rite now since I started them tonite witch means after week 5 is over then I can drop them for 2 of those guys in waiver wire so still witch 2 should I pick up for them? I'm still able to drop WR's DeSean Jackson or Andre Roberts rite now to get one of the FA WR's I mentioned ASAP but I'm stuck and unsure if I should drop either Jackson or Roberts or if I should maybe drop them both for 2 FA's? Let me know ur input and ur thoughts on this thanks and I'm in a NON PPR LEAGUE

To the editor:
The lack of knowledge Guy Indovina displayed in his letter "No Empathy from Romney (Sept. 16)," shows what's really wrong with our society today - personal attacks against Gov. Mitt Romney that are false.
Speak on truthful policy differences, that's fine. President Barack Obama's policies are against our Constitution and what the Founding Fathers laid out for a free society.
It's not Obama's fault. He was raised by communist grandparents and mentored by a communist. He has surrounded himself by like-minded advisers in and out of the White House. Romney was raised in a Christian home with Christian values. He gave his inheritance to charity. He continued in his personal and professional life the values learned at home. If one wants to research his private life, you will find a man who loves and serves his fellow man, no matter how wealthy he became. His goal, along with his Christian vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan, is to pull our country back from the brink of a socialist disaster.
Mitt did start at the bottom with his bride and they worked their way to success. Do your research, stop listening to Media Matters or Moveon.org. or, regrettably, to NBC. Both parties are to blame for the financial mess we are in, but Romney and Ryan have the experience and devotion to the constitution to stop the slide.

Antioxidant Antibodies
Neurobiology Antibodies
PI 3-Kinase Antibodies
Caseine Kinase2 Antibodies
Cytokine Antibodies
Viral Antibodies
GDP/GTP Binding Protein Antibodies
Prion Antibodies
Evoglow Antibodies
Corepressor Antibodies
Immunoglobulins are glycoprotein molecules and a group of structurally similar but functionally apparently different proteins. The immunoglobulin "backbone" consists of heavy and light polypeptide chains. Five classes of immunoglobulins (IgA, IgG, IgM, IgE and IgD) have been distinguished on the basis of non cross-reacting antigenic determinants of their heavy chains.
The main function of immunoglobulins is to serve as antibodies that confer humoral immunity against bacterial, viral and other pathogens.
Application of antibodies in research and development, in vitro/in vivo diagnostics, or therapeutics requires antibodies with remarkable specificity.

Yesterday, I was playing a game online, and while I was respawning it said something about showing zombies. After spawning, I noticed that every couple of seconds I was leaving orange ghosts, or perhaps "zombies", of where I was then. I died pretty quickly though, and never found out why.
Does anybody know why that was happening?

It was pointed in an other question that ensemble methods can help to reduce curve fitting. What are your experience with these and which one seems the most appropriate? If I had two forecasters that give reasonably good results. Would it be better to use both and invest half in each (diversification) or use one of the ensemble method?
Ensemble methods, or ensemble learning are a class of statistical methods that, loosely speaking, operate on many rather than a single instance of the data. Think bootstrapping, but then combine the estimates for an aggregate. The Wikipedia link has more.
Combining two forecasters is something else that is sometimes called pooling forecasts or, more generally, consensus forecast.
The main difference is that the pieces in an ensemble method are related---pooling is from the same class or instance of an estimate---whereas pooled forecast are aggregating over different forecast which may not have any commonality.

Shovel: It's back!
bought a yard rake from them about a month ago. they cancelled 5 min later, but i was still charged. after about 4 calls and sending them my bank statement, they finally refunded my money.
wouldn't deal with sears again.
@mslim7: They're notorious for cancelling online orders after they're placed. I bought a washer and dryer there back in July and they screwed up my bank account for 3-4 days.
It caused my PC build to get pushed back. In the end, I ended up spending an extra $50-75 on my PC build because they delayed me ordering it by tying up my bank account until they decided to credit me for the purchases correctly. It was a mess. Next time I guess I'll get off my butt and just go to the store.
how many times will we see this deal? isn't this the regular price anyway?
digga please
@sgtgreeneusmc: The price does seem rather... entrenched doesn't it?
Isn't a "round" point a contradiction? ; )
