Homes and Cars Point the Way for U.S.
The U.S. economy has been rather dreary this year, but automobile sales and the housing market have been two brighter spots. It is probably no coincidence that they are among the most sensitive areas to Federal Reserve policy.
Dealerships are on pace to sell 14.2 million new cars and light trucks in 2012, the best since 2007 and more than the most optimistic forecasters penciled in at the start of the year. Auto makers, surprised by the strength, curtailed their usual retooling shutdowns this summer and have been taking steps like adding third shifts.
Housing has arguably been an even bigger surprise. Fannie Mae's latest housing forecast calls for sales of 4.96 million homes this year, compared with a January forecast of 4.74 million. And it looks as if sales would be even higher without an unexpected problem: In many areas, there is a lack of homes to meet demand.
Because the level of interest rates and credit availability matter so much to the auto and housing sectors—few people buy a car or house without a loan—both are typically highly sensitive to Fed policy. Things broke down in the recession as households repaired their balance sheets, but to judge from what has happened this year, Fed actions may be gaining a bit more traction.
Indeed, new auto-loan originations reached their highest level in the second quarter since 2007. The value of single-family-mortgage originations has risen to the highest level since mid 2010, when the expiration of home-buyer tax credits sparked a flurry of activity.
What's unsettling is that the improvement in housing and autos doesn't seem to have fed through to other areas of the economy. That, says AllianceBernstein economist Joseph Carson, is a sign of how much factors like Europe's financial morass and Washington's automatic 2013 tax increases and spending cuts, are weighing.
If he is right, it's not clear a third round of bond buying, or quantitative easing, the Fed looks likely to launch Wednesday will get other areas of the economy to pick up the baton from autos and housing.
The upside is that more clarity on Europe and the fiscal situation may see things really take off. The downside: Housing and autos might not run much longer without the rest of the economy kicking in.

The Troubled Man
Henning Mankell
Translated by Laurie Thompson
Alfred A. Knopf, $26.95, 384 pp.
In 1991, in Sweden, Henning Mankell published a novel about a police inspector in the town of Ystad, in the southernmost region of the country. Mankell, born in Stockholm in 1948, had already published a half-dozen novels and had a number of plays to his credit as well. For some years he had divided his time between Sweden and Maputo, Mozambique, where he was a theater director.
The book Mankell published in 1991 changed the course of his life. Faceless Killers [1] (as it was titled in the translation published in the United States in 1997) centered on Kurt Wallander, a fortyish police detective, and the team of colleagues who work with him. A police procedural with literary flair, the novel recalled the ambitious crime fiction of the husband-and-wife team Per Wahlöö and Maj Sjöwall, who collaborated on a series of ten novels published between 1965 and 1975. And like Sjöwall and Wahlöö's protagonist, Martin Beck, Wallander was very much an everyman: divorced, a bit overweight, prone to drink too much, lacking political savvy, and fallible in many other ways, yet also (again, like Martin Beck) an extraordinarily resourceful investigator and a compassionate, deeply sympathetic man.
It wasn't surprising, then, that Faceless Killers turned out to be the first book in a series, which—like the novels of Sjöwall and Wahlöö—combined storytelling and social commentary...

In the riots that swept Islamic society last winter, reaction to the publication of cartoons insulting the Prophet Mohammed, the world glimpsed evidence of a clash between cultures—but not in the sense of the "clash of civilizations" that Samuel Huntington foresaw in his influential 1993 Foreign Affairs article and in the book [1] that followed.
Huntington's "clash of civilizations" originally served as a new and bureaucratically useful paradigm in the programmatic vacuum created in Washington by the end of the cold war. Addressing a foreign-policy community deprived of that framework, Huntington substituted "civilizations" for "states" as the notional political actors from whose corner policy makers could consider future threats to the United States and generate future "scenarios" of international conflict.
Huntington was also reacting to several tensions: between Iran and the United States, following the 1979 overthrow of the U.S.-supported Shah of Iran and the seizure of U.S. embassy staff as hostages; between the Islamic Arab states and the United States, resulting from Washington's largely uncritical support of Israel in its conflict with the Palestinians; and the perennial Washington preoccupation with the threat from China.
Civilizations are not political powers....

Charles, this recalls one of the most amazing photos of all time:
I don't get the point of this post. Is Charles making fun of accident victims?
@2 -- I think Charles is saying that, even after death, the souls of the working class will rain down ruin upon heavy industry (auto, in this case), like so many Angels of the Red Dawn.
After all, I wonder if he'd say, the airplane represents the Icarian ideal of the glorified individual to soar ever higher over others, and the Marxian orgasm of them crashing into one another, and releasing their "individuals" ironically onto a manifestation of capitalism.
It must all make for some sticky fingers over at Mudede Red Square this morning...
He must have had a field day with all of the WTC jumpers....
@1, Should anyone be interested, here is another link with more information about the picture and Evelyn McHale
@3 Jubilation; Damn, that's impressive, I wish I could write like that. I have never understood any of Mudede's posts, it's nice to see a plausible explanation for one.
But, not to nitpick, "the souls of the working class", I do own an automobile, purchased from an automobile dealer, but at about a quarter million dollars for a Skyhawk, that is a quite a different class than I work in. I have a suspicion that the reason for the post is more about people who can afford quarter million dollar toys.
Very few pilots fly brand new Cessnas--most planes in the fleet are 35+ years old, and are far, far less expensive.
As a matter of fact, I'm almost willing to bet that those airplanes are owned by either flight schools and/or flying clubs, and used for instruction.
One of your victims is going to be an 18-22 year old kid earning minimum wage as an instructor as he tried to get enough flying hours to be hired by a bottom tier airline.
It's how the system works.

At Christy's watching the fights. Wife and I know that we will be here for a while so started with nachos. Plate was so big it barely fit the table... Slight stretch 😜they were very good. Service is amazing. We were sitting outside and the waiter comes over to the table and asks if he could move the table... Say what? He then points out that our table had a wobble. He tried to fix it but could not get it to stop wobbling. Understand, very slight wobble to begin with, we barely if at all noticed it. He went away and them came back with another waiter and a couple of cork shims... He just could not let it go until the wobble was gone.
We still have quite some time to go before the main event. Just wanted to say great thus far and service is great

Instant Replay: Straily leads A's to 2-1 win over Pirates
Moss: 'He hung a changeup first pitch and I hit it good'
Dan Straily lowered his ERA to 4.28 with 6.1 strong innings in Pittsburgh. (AP)
Brandon Moss' two-run home run off Pittsburgh rookie Gerrit Cole in the fourth inning proved to be the difference Tuesday night as the A's beat the Pirates, 2-1, for the second night in a row.
Moss played parts of three seasons with the Pirates, from 2008 through 2010.
"It's a fair ballpark," Moss said on A's Postgame Live. "It's big to left-center. It's not small by any means. I think it's a great ballpark…one of the most beautiful ballparks in the game.
"I never have played well here, but it's a nice place to play."
After a rainless 102-minute rain delay, the A's still have yet to lose to the Pirates, winning all 11 interleague games against them since 2002. As such, the first-place A's have won five straight series to improve to 54-37, a season-high 17 games over .500.
Closer Grant Balfour recorded his 24th save in 24 opportunities after allowing a lead-off single in the ninth inning.
Starting pitching report
Dan Straily improved to 6-2 after allowing just two hits -- including the second-inning solo home run by Pedro Alvarez -- in 6 1/3 innings. The right-hander struck out seven and walked three in his 89 pitches, 59 strikes. In his last two starts, since being recalled from triple-A Sacramento, Straily is 2-0 with a 0.68 ERA with 13 strikeouts and six walks and a 0.60 WHIP while allowing just three hits over 13 1/3 innings.
After the game, Straily was optioned to Sacramento to clear roster space for pitching prospect Sonny Gray.
Bullpen report
Sean Doolittle and Ryan Cook did their jobs with a combined 1 2/3 innings of relief work. It was the 13th hold of the season for Doolittle, the 14th for Cook. Then Balfour got his 24th save, extending his franchise record for consecutive saves to 42.
At the plate
A night after getting only three hits, the A's mustered five, with no player having more than one. The big blast, of course, was Moss' team-leading 16th homer, a two-out, first-pitch blast into the right-field bleachers on an 87-mph changeup from Gerrit Cole in the fourth inning. John Jaso, who had doubled one batter earlier, scored on the blast.
In the field
It was not the toughest of plays in the game, but it might have been the most telling. With a light mist beginning to fall with two out in the ninth and a Pirates runner at first base, third baseman Josh Donaldson rushed into the grass to field with his glove Russell Martin's chopper and transfer the ball to his throwing hand in one motion. A second later, Donaldson threw out Martin to end the game.
The Pirates announced a crowd of 24,560 at PNC Park.
Tweet o' da game
bone. thrown. #stillasnub. -- @UnkleNoah, on Yoenis Cespedes getting the nod for the Home Run Derby, with only one A's player selected for the Midsummer Classic itself.
Up next
Left-hander Tommy Milone (8-7, 4.11 ERA) goes for the sweep as he faces lefty Francisco Liriano (8-3, 2.20), who is 3-4 with a 4.59 ERA in 14 career appearances against the A's, 12 starts. Milone has never faced the Pirates.

G'day and welcome.
To answer your initial question, please read this: Blood Glucose Targets
However, I think you may need more information than that. So do we, if you'd like us to offer any suggestions.
Would you mind giving us some details of how you manage your diabetes, what dietary regimen you follow, what test numbers you see at these times and what your doctor has to say about your problems, especially the ability to bleed without lancing?
thanks for the response i am type 2 and was just diagnoised in sept 2011 my last when first diagnoised my a1c was 12.5 but on my last visit in march it was 5.5 i went to the educator and they told me to eat 1900 calories 3 carbs for breakfast 4 carbs for lunch and 3 carbs for dinner and 3 snacks a day of 2 carbs each i was taking victoza but i am no longer taking it i was taking 2 metformins of 500 mgs a day but the doctor said i can take a half of 1 a day but i continue to take 1 per day because my sugar is irregular
for breakfast im usually on the run so i will eat i packet of instant grits or oatmeal, a low carb yogurt, turkey sausage or a slice of cheese and milk or applesauce or fruit cup
for lunch my big meal i usually have a healthy choice meal because i dont have to count the calories or carbs to much and sometimes i have one for dinner or soup some crackers or a half of roast beef sandwich i havent quite been able to prepare food in the right portions yet so this has been working for me
snacks are usually pretzels, fruit cups, sugar free jello/ pudding, or those individual packets of cheese crackers
when i wake up in the morning my sugar is usually about 85 or 90 i try not to eat unless my sugar is within that range so that it doesnt go up to high i would like for my sugar to be under 120 because i read a book that said it will extend your life up to 15 years and i generally feel ill when its over 125 but lately it has been going as high as 170 and as low as 65 within 2 hours
i have been able to loose over 50 pounds and get my a1c in normal range with the foods i have been eating but lately i can start out with a blood level of 85 and in a hour it it can be up to 170 and then back down again so im wondering if thats normal
my doctor has not given me a target range but my last a1c was 5.5 and a average of 85
Your "Carb" is really 15 grams so your 3 carb lunch is 45gr of carbs. That's a lot for most of us. Your A1c is great so maybe your carbs are OK
you STILL have not said what your BG numbers are. After you eat (1hour) cant give advise initial we know what your numbers are.
An A1c is average BG. So a BG of 10 and and 170 have an average of 90 however
at a BG of 10 you will be unconscious and on the doorstep (if not dead) of death. And at 170 you are doing damage to your body that will end up over many years.
Your 5.5 A1c is very good and you have done pretty well with the carb load you are taking in.
However your 170s after eating are higher than you want to go. It sounds like you have some reactive hypoglcycemia going on. When you eat more carbs than you really can handle, your blood sugar goes up to 170. Then your insulin takes over, too late, but perhaps too much, and you drop way down. Even if you only drop back down ot a normal level of say, 80 or 70 or even 90, you feel weird because of the rapidity of the drop.
Sometimes a low can feel like high blood sugar and vice-versa. Particularly so if you are rapidly changing and test only at one extreme rather than the other and it is the change that is making you feel strange.
You can test for reactive hypoglycemia after you next breakfast with 45 grams of carbs, or next dinner with 60 grams by testing every half hour. If you have that rapid rise followed by the rapid drop, reactive hypoglycemia is, to some extent, what is going on.
the solution is fewer carbs at one sitting. That way you don;t go so high, and then you don't get the massive insulin response, and then you don;t go low. You might need to snack a bit more frequently to avoid drifting low if all you do is drop carbs at mealtime and don't replace them at some other time.
Reactive Hypoglycemia can be hidden by a good A1c like yours simply because the A1c reflects your average glucose level, without taking into account the extent ot the fluctuations...

Angelina To Add Writer and Director To Her Resumekellidaisy
British film company GK Films confirmed that Angelina Jolie will write and direct a movie for the company. It will be a a romance set against the 1992-1995 Bosnian war. And while Jolie won't be starring in the film, USMagazine confirms that it's cast will consist of "various ethnicities of the former Yugoslavia."
She was apparently scouting for locations for the film, which she's also going to act as producer on, during her trip to Hungary with twins Vivienne and Knox this past week.
Wow – as if she's not busy enough, she's going to write, direct and produce this film! Seems like an awfully big role to take on for her directorial debut! What do you think? Does this sound like something you'd want to see, or should Angie stick to acting?

S-n-o-r-e. The hugest waste
S-n-o-r-e. The hugest waste of environmentalist's energy has been on Exxon's so called "disinfo" campaign. What a sleeper! And what a waste of time.
Now I'm off to engage in some Token Environmentalism by filling up my car at Shell. That'll teach those dastardly disinfo-spewing action-paralyzing Exxon deviants!
Anonymous replied on Permalink
I have to agree with Paul on this one
One has to realize that in Oil and Gas production, there is upstream (the oil wells, gas wells, oil sands, offshore), downstream (refineries) and retail (the gas stations).
Many refineries sell product to multiple retailers. Some are company owned, such as Exxon / Esso retail stations. Others are independents, or major retail competitors where it makes sense to buy from the closest refinery. So, in some areas, Shell may buy from an Exxon refinery if it makes sense economically, or vice versa.
If one boycotts an Exxon gas station, a good chance the competing station will still sell Exxon product, the only difference is that you have deprived them of the margin on retail, which typically is pretty low.
Good for feeling good, or sending a message to Exxon.
Not likely to make much difference on their bottom line, or domestic gas consumption in the short term.

$120,000 is enough to fund a "disinfo campaign"? I didn't know propaganda came so cheap. Our own federal government spent $6,000,000,000 to get Canadians to reduce CO2 emissions and it was a total flop.

Disinformation and Trolls

Politician's campaign
It may seem like a small amount in the scheme of things, but here in Canada our federal politician's are limited to around $110,000 to use for an entire election campaign. If you're good, you don't need much money (but you do need some) to run an information, or in this case a disinformation, campaign.
And sorry Paul, it's not pennies when you consider that the goal of these groups is not to convince but to confuse. Convincing someone to change their mind (and I am not defending the fed gov on this) is generally a lot more difficult and expensive than simply confusing and muddying the waters.
Paul Gerard replied on Permalink
Kevin, the amount really is
Kevin, the amount really is pennies. How much total over the last 8 years has Exxon spent? $18 million. That is not even a drop in the bucket.
You call it disinfo. But is it really? An organization like the Competitive Enterprise Institute has neither the public recognition, nor the prestige to carry out sophisticated disinfo as you claim. While you may claim Exxon is good at disinfo, nobody, not even the great propagandists of all time are that good.
This whole obsession with Exxon is to me a sideshow that too many environmentalists have gotten sidetracked on and is counterproductive to the goal of meaningful action on AGW. Regards,

Dave, I apolgize for my excessive sarcasm in your case (it's one of my New Year's resolutions to work on :)).
Too many people I talk to who are "concerned about the environment" will not change their habits until Big Oil does and everyone else in society does.
As you state you drive very little yourself, you at least appear as someone who has taken it upon himself to modify your lifestyle and I admire that. Regards,

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Oct 01st, 1992
Running Time: 75
Director: August West
Company: Zane Entertainment Group
Cast: Cherry Lawson, Jack Handy, Teddi Austin, Tom Byron, Biff Malibu, Toni Couchez, Trixie Tyler, Sikki Nixx, Brigitte Aime
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: Feature
Sikki Nixx and Tom Byron (great wig and glasses) are thoroughly unconvincing in this Wayne's World satire, as the screenwriter doesn't seem to have realized that to pay homage go a satire is very, very difficult; you certainly can't parody it, which is what's being tried here. Sexually, the best couplings involve newcomers Jack Handy and Teddi Austin, "old-timers" Biff Malibu and Brigitte Aimé, and Cherry Lawson's lesbo number with Toni Couchez. Trixie Tyler's "seduction" of Tom Byron (with a bone left over from her Flintbones appearance) leaves a lot to be desired. and Madison (with Betty Page haircut) won't make your wiener rise...and the only sound we can hear from Madison's band is the tambourine. The packaging approximates its target, the story doesn't; but there's enough decent sex to make it worth a look.

|From people in the know
From people in the know around the medical community in town word is that Schmidt was close minded to newer modalities and unwilling to adapt. Very protective of his players and wouldn't allow them to see outside doctors that offered modalities he didn't like. Harbaugh supposedly really disliked this too. This is good for Michigan.

It's the programming. You can take the absolute best fitness coach in the world and they still wouldn't be able to manage a safe workout environment in a crossfit gym. Crossfit takes exercises that were meant to be done for quality, power and strength in a well rested state, and mixed them with highly fatiguing circuit training principles. That is mixing fire and gasoline... Crossfit does a lot right especially with regards to building community in their gyms, motivating clients with palpable goals, and teaching good form and mobility. The problem is that even with the best form and mobility in the world, you are eventually going to get hurt when you are doing 40" box jumps after 100 reps of deadlifts, cleans, and overhead presses.

If your driver is serviceable I'd get a pre owned set of irons from Miles of Golf or the like. You could get a solid set of lightly used irons for $400. Would still have room for a new putter or lightly used driver as well.

However, to some degree this may be a case of having to recruit like the big boys if you want to hang with them. For better or for worse..

Micro computed tomography (muCT) is quite useful for quality evaluation of electro-mechanical systems because it provides three-dimensional geometrical information of internal structures. However, large differences in x-ray absorption coefficients of materials produce metal artifacts in the CT images. This study aims to develop a new reconstruction algorithm to reduce the artifacts from the images and establish a non-destructive inspection technique of electro-mechanical systems using x-ray CT imaging. This paper discusses the cause of the artifacts and proposes two algorithms to reduce them. One is direct signal conversion technique of the projection data, and the other uses two projection data based on different x-ray intensities. The authors apply the methods to several samples and discuss the efficiency of the methods.

With the evolution of mobile devices and power needs our home environments have become increasingly cluttered. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the bedroom however modern furniture solutions have stayed stagnant.
Canopy table by Ink Studios was thoughtfully designed with a layered storage approach which separates essential devices from general storage. A single hollow post provides essential structure while also facilitating power needs. The Canopy table provides iconic style while facilitating a modern lifestyle.
Client: Ink Studios
Year: 2016
Introducing Greenskeeper™ a uniquely functional storage system designed specifically for cannabis users.
Wine and tobacco lovers have a multitude of high-quality solutions to properly store their collections yet cannabis consumers are left using plastic bags, food containers and glass jars. This was the impetus that led us to develop Greenskeeper for Santa Cruz Bakeware™.
Living in northern California, we wanted to assist Santa Cruz Bakeware in the design and branding of a product that reflected the progressive sensibilities of the region.
Client: Santa Cruz Bakeware
Year: 2015
Tasked with creating a catch all for user's odds and ends, Ink looked to combine simplicity and purity. We sought to create an expression that's effortless, sculptural, and elegant. Catch accents anyone's home or office.
Tasked with creating an exciting new router. Concepts sought to create a sculptural statement that would accent both home and office. Simplicity, texture and details became key design elements.
Client: D-Link/ Ink Studios
Tasked with creating a minimal floor lamp for contemporary urban living the Ink Studios team looked to design an effortless statement of functionality. The Prā Lamp uses simple extrusions and material contrast to create dynamic elegance.
The Elite 800 is flagship wireless gaming headphones of Turtle Beach. Designed by the team at Ink, the Elite 800 combines rich material accents, elastomeric headband, smooth surfacing and exposed cabling to create a premium design aesthetic. Other features include wireless charging through a magnetic charging base and rocker plate earcups for easy gaming adjustments.
Client: Turtle Beach
Year: 2014
The Elite 800 transmitter serves as the charging home for the flagship Elite 800 headphones. Designed by the team at Ink, the base had to deliver power in an intuitive capacity while also showcasing the premium headphones within the home. Simple LED feedback and intuitive magnetic docking allow users to replenish power easily.
The Stealth 400 is an entry level wireless gaming headset. Designed by the team at Ink, the Stealth 400 had to be lightweight while also being rugged and durable. Directional headband and sculpted over-ear earcups allow for hours of comfort while gaming. Chat and game volume controls are placed on the back of the earcups for easy in game adjustments.
The Tournament Audio Controller (TAC) is the ultimate weapon in a gamer's arsenal. Designed by the team at Ink, the TAC had to allow gamers intuitive access to audio controls often in low or no light environments. The iconic wedge shape acts as a funnel of information putting most essential controls towards the user and less essential function away from accidental actuation. Rich textured knobs and sliders allow gamers haptic feedback in low light conditions while LEDs light up essential settings.
The XO Four was among the first Xbox Once headsets. Designed by the team at Ink, the XO four had to be lightweight and supremely comfortable. Fluid surfaces reinforced its lightweight portable design while fashion oriented elements resonated with casual gamers.
Year: 2013
The Recon 320 is a lightweight portable gaming headset. Designed by the team at Ink, the Recon 320 had to be supremely lightweight. Designed for the casual gamer the headset had to be portable while allowing for many areas of customization. Rich texture contrast brings additional value to this entry level headset.
Tasked with creating a new exciting smart phone that capitalized on curved glass technology. Concepts looked to enhance ergonomics with a curved form while also creating strong color customization.
Tasked with developing a limited edition line of gaming tags the team at Ink explored a variety of themes and imagery.

This is an Asian inspired dish with some French technique. In culinary school, we would wrap meat or fish with spinach, cabbage, or leeks. All we did was blanch the vegetables for a couple of seconds and dunk them in ice water so they would become like rice paper.
Here, I used blanched cabbage to roll up an Asian stir fry. The secret to the Asian flavor is one of my favorite pantry items, Chinese five spice. It is the perfect blend of anise, star anise, ginger, cinnamon, and cloves to warm you up in the winter. I served the rolls with a side of ginger sauce and garnished with green onions. I was happy to realize afterward that this is a great gluten-free and vegan dish! With some ginger sauce, you might even prefer these over those heavy, greasy egg rolls.
You can also use spinach or kale if you like, or serve the filling with a side of rice. The idea is here, but the creation is your own!
Servings: about 15 rolls, 3 per portion
Additional information: appropriate for Vegetarian, Vegan and Gluten Free diet.

It appears to me that SO is inundated with questions which can answered by a trivial google search or by perusing the documentation. I'm not talking about 1 or 2 out of 100, but like 20-25% of the questions are of this type. My feeling is that SO is devaluing itself by allowing these questions. If SO wants to continue to be a truly "expert" forum it might be prudent by following the custom of some language centric irc channels and not tolerating questions that can easily be answered by some effort in reading or searching on the part of the questioner. Continuing to allow these questions dilutes the quality of SO and may even sink it to irrelevance.
Meta Stack Exchange is where users like you discuss bugs, features, and support issues that affect the software powering all 158 Stack Exchange communities.
What is meta?
What is meta?
Here's how it works:
- Any Stack Exchange user can ask a question
- The community provides support, votes on ideas, and reports bugs
- Your voice helps shape the way Stack Exchange operates
The point is to build a database of Q&A so that Google will always find it here.
The problem is that Google doesn't have ANY answers. It sends you to other sites with answers. SO wants to be that site.
I think it may have been in one of the podcasts (sorry, can't remember which) and Jeff/Joel spoke about how they want SO to have answers to questions of ANY level, even super-noob questions ('What is a variable?' type stuff) even if they have been answered previously on another website/resource.
Edit: I was being sarcastic!
Google can find anything so why don't we just stop using SO?

Last night, Kanye West appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live to process his feelings and hopefully bury the hatchet regarding his recent feud with the talk show host. Throughout Wednesday night's tension-filled show, West said a lot that interested us. But most of all, he said that he feels misunderstood.
Say it ain't so! Kanye, we get you. We understand. We always have. In fact, we've all walked a mile in your Nike Air Yeezy IIs at one point in time or another. Need proof? Check it:
1. He's obsessed with Kim Kardashian. So are we.
We're happy they're happy. And we're happy to watch them be happy, in a real way, not the "It's the happiest they've ever been." – happy claims of the Kris and Bruce separation.
2. He hates to be made fun of. Well, of course he does!
3. He's a proud (and probably exhausted) new daddy. We get it.
4. He stole the mic from Taylor Swift. But we've all interrupted awards show speeches.
5. His leather jogging pants sketches didn't impress Anna Wintour. Neither did ours!
So we get you Kanye. We've been there. And we know that you (and Nietzsche) are right: "Now that don't kill me/Can only make me stronger." WE ARE ALL KANYE WEST.

Magyar Telekom Advances as Court Delays Ruling on Competitor
Magyar Telekom Nyrt., the Hungarian unit of Deutsche Telekom AG, rose after a court in Budapest deferred a verdict on whether a state-owned company can start a competing mobile network operator.
The shares rose 1 percent to 426 forint by the close in Budapest. The benchmark BUX stock index gained 0.9 percent to 17,756.87.
A group of state companies won the right in January to start a mobile network competing with Magyar Telekom and units of Vodafone Group Plc and Telenor ASA. The three existing providers appealed the results and the court yesterday deferred its decision by another two weeks.
"Any generous delay would be a positive factor due to the lack of increasing competition," Akos Kuti, a Budapest-based analyst at broker Equilor Befektetesi Zrt., wrote in a research report today.

PMS Health Center
Low-Dose Birth Control Pill Treats Severe PMS
24 On, 4 Off continued...
Yaz is similar to another oral contraceptive marketed by Berlex under the brand name Yasmin, but there are important differences, Schillace says. Both contain a unique progestin that mimics the activity of a diuretic (water pill) used to treat the symptom of bloating or water retention seen in PMS.
But women who take Yaz get 24 days of active hormone followed by four days off hormones, instead of the standard 21 days of active hormone treatment followed by seven days of no hormone treatment.
Yonkers and colleagues says the shorter time off hormones offered by Yaz treatment may help women avoid severe menstrual-related symptoms.
"We know that women taking oral contraceptives often complain of symptoms like headaches, bloating, and other problems during the week that they are off hormones," she tells WebMD. "This has been broadly characterized as 'hormonal withdrawal.' It is total hypothesis at this point, but it may be that shortening the time off hormones may help women avoid this withdrawal."
SSRIs Don't Work for Everyone
Jean Endicott, PhD, says it is not clear if the new contraceptive is uniquely useful for treating PMS and PMDD because other contraceptives have not been tested.
"What we do know is that the high-dose estrogen and progestin contraceptives did not help and seemed to [promote symptoms] in some women," she says. "But that doesn't seem to be the case with the low-dose formulations."
Endicott directs the Premenstrual Evaluation Unit at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center and is also affiliated with the New York State Psychiatric Institute.
She says the low-dose contraceptive could prove to be a useful alternative treatment for the 35% to 40% of women with PMDD who are not helped by antidepressants and for women who simply don't want to take them."
"Certainly for many women there is a stigma attached to taking antidepressants," she says. "And others are bothered by the side effects, especially the sexual side effects [seen with many SSRIs]. There is a need for more treatment options."

Summary | Excerpt | Reviews | Beyond the book | Readalikes | Genres & Themes | Author Bio
Leonardo Padura's latest novel, Havana Fever, is a cold-case
investigation into the disappearance of a beautiful bolero singer forty-seven
years prior to current events. Padura does a wonderful job of crafting the
mystery. Clues are revealed gradually, building suspense and ultimately leading
the reader to its dark but satisfying conclusion. Purely as a mystery novel,
Havana Fever is top-notch and a terrific example of modern noir.
The real highlight of the book, though, is Padura's rich and evocative writing style. He brilliantly conjures up both the smoky nightclubs of Batista's Havana in the 1950s and the city's present poverty, comparing and contrasting the two different eras. Both are dark, gritty and rife with corruption. The modern scenes in particular are cloaked in an oppressive, unrelenting gloom that doesn't begin to lift until the book's final pages. ...
About the Author
Leonardo Padura was born in 1955 in Havana and lives in Cuba. He has published a number of short-story collections and literary essays but international fame came with the Havana Quartet, all featuring Inspector Mario Conde. Like many others of his generation, Padura had faced the question of leaving Cuba, particularly in the late 80s and early 90s, when living conditions deteriorated sharply as Russian aid evaporated. He chose to stay. And to write beautiful ironic novels in which Soviet-style socialism is condemned by implication through scenes of Havana life where even the police are savagely policed. The crime novels feed on the noises and smells of Havana, on the ability of its inhabitants to keep joking, to make love and music, to drink rum, and to survive through petty crime such as running clandestine bars and restaurants.
Padura's ...

Delanie Walker is a player who can get you some great plays, but that fumble inside the 10 yard-line was probably the biggest killer I saw out there last night. The guy has 90 touches and something like 4 or 5 fumbles in his career, that's just not good enough. We need to get Brian Westbrook in there along with Gore inside the Redzone. Securing the ball should be our number one concern, because this is the second game in a row where our offense has had some great drives right down the field and made mistakes that cost them points inside the red zone.
IMO, Brian Westbrook should be getting a lot more snaps on this team as soon as possible, especially on screen plays, but he should definitely be getting more snaps inside the red zone seeing as though he's much better securing the ball then Delanie Walker. Even on Delanie's screen play along the right side of the field, he almost fumbled that ball away too (getting tackled from behind). You just can't do those things and expect to win.

How do i get my accuracy up?
I have looked around but I haven't found a definitive answer. I have been trying get these 100% requirements but have been struggling to get the accuracy based ones.
Is it just about getting headshots?? Because i'm finding this to be an impossible feat.
In other words, try not to miss. The game will specifically ask for headshots if that is a requirement for the gold.
You're probably better off skipping the gold medals on missions that have an accuracy requirement. They're the toughest ones usually, and a pain cause it's hard to know if you'll pass until after the mission is over, then you have to redo it all. There are plenty to get a gold medal on that have no accuracy requirements, assuming you'll only working on enough gold medals for the achievement.
Thanks!!!! So it doesn't matter where my bullets hit as long as they hit the target? That's means I have been really sucking at shooting
As said accuracy is about hitting the target, make sure you are using the classic GTA style targetting and use small bursts if using anything but a single shot gun. Time things carefully so as not to pop out when no one is around to be shot, youll find you can lose alot of accuracy there when people are just poking a head up and auto aim targets them but the cover still blocks the shots.
If you don't rush (which in some missions i do understand is almost impossible) you can keep accuracy easily above 90% and if you go snails pace then 100% is poss.

Released: Mar 01st, 2004
Running Time: 105
Director: Wesley B
Company: West Coast Productions Platinum
Cast: Precious (I), Kelly Star, Brian Pumper, Janet Jacme, Mark Anthony (I), Africa (I), Johnny Depth, Hypnotic
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: All-Sex
Fans of all dark meat, big boobs and anal, toys and d.p. should owe you a big favor for stocking this strong.
One would be hard-pressed to single out any particular participant for outstanding nastiness, as each fits the bill quite nicely.
Africa, from Alabama, starts the smut with what is probably the tamest scene: straight ass fucking. Kelly Starr is clearly a mammal as her huge chest will make clear, and her animal instinct is share and share alike as she is d.p.'d during a screaming and very verbal scene. Hypnotic from L.A. confesses to be up to anything but girls and pretty much proves it when she does a d.p. and double vag with the simultaneous insertion of a real and fake dick. Precious prefers doggie but also adds the expulsion of an internal shot, and the subsequent drinking thereof, to her self-acclaimed first ever scene. Janet Jacme marks her return to videos with a quick anal.
Both the DVD and tape include an orgy bonus scene.


text: 1. CRY is not a buy-out candidate. This is because half their sales don't seem to generate much cash flow. The other half of their sales (BioGlue and HemoStase) are uncertain (for calendar year 2013 forward). So just throw this thought in the junk pile. 2. Half their sales are from tissue lines. After allocating fixed costs, this product line probably contributes less than $2 million to annual cash flow. My crude model estimates the tissue business cash flow at about $1 million/year, BioGlue cash flow at about $15.5 million/year, and HemoStase cash flow at about $2.5 million in cash flow. The point here is that BioGlue is the cash cow, and that HemoStase cash flow is fast growing. It would be nice if CRY were to provide detailed product line cash flow numbers; but, I don't think they ever will (or that they want to) because it would show the world how unproductive the tissue business is in terms of cash flow. Tissue may save lives, but it doesn't put money in the bank. 3. BioGlue represents 42% of sales, and about 82% of cash flow. BioGlue has a remarkable 82% gross margin, as opposed to tissue's low 62% gross profit margin. Prior to HemoStase coming on the scene, BioGlue sales were in slow decay. Once HemoStase showed up, BioGlue sales have trended slowly higher. However, there is a potential problem here. BioGlue goes off patent in the USA in the middle of 2012. It goes off patent in the rest of the world in 2013. CRY lost a European patent law suit. I'm guessing that BioGlue sales will remain flat, but who knows. In any event, slowing BioGlue sales are a risk in terms of CRY's longer term stock value. Remember, BioGlue is CRY's cash cow; but, also its Achilles' heel. Knock BioGlue sales out of the ring. CRY gets knocked out of the ring. 4. CRY had probably originally intended to have HemoStase sales more than offset declining BioGlue sales. Until CRY became nasty, this appeared likely to work. However, now CRY and Medafor are going to have to go to trial. It is simply too late for Medafor to attempt to reason with SGA. Bottom line here is the EDA ends June 30, 2014, then CRY goes away by contract terms. Hopefully, the dispute ends earlier via trial resolution. The trial date probably would not occur until 2012, or 2013. Medafor litigation is going to be a big drag on CRY's stock price for a long time to come. Also, I would like to think that trial damages against CRY could be substantial, because messing with another companies distributor network is a lot worse than a few dollars of cross-over sales.

Roden Crater is a cinder cone type of volcanic cone from an extinct volcano, with a remaining interior volcanic crater. It is located northeast of the city of Flagstaff in northern Arizona, United States.
Art project[edit]
The artist James Turrell, for his land art project, acquired the 400,000-year-old, 3-mile-wide (4.8 km) crater's land.[3] Turrell has since been transforming the inner cone of the crater into a massive naked-eye observatory, designed specifically for viewing and experiencing sky-light, solar, and celestial phenomena. The fleeting winter and summer solstice events will be highlighted.[4]
The Dia Art Foundation is continuing to advocate for the development of James Turrell's Roden Crater project in the Painted Desert in Arizona which was begun in the 1970s with Dia's support.[5] James Turrell, who purchased the Roden Crater in 1979, had plans to open the crater for public viewing in 2011.[6]

This might sound a lil bit too obvious, but I´m using the plugin and I´m trying to build a new template and it doesn´t seem to work...
I´ve tried putting the new template file on:
/WORDPRESS ROOT/wp-content/plugins/list-category-posts/templates/CUSTOM.PHP
/WORDPRESS ROOT/wp-content/themes/MY THEME/list-category-posts/CUSTOM.PHP
and call it using "template=custom" on the shortcode, but neither seem to work.
What am I doing wrong? Where is the ¨CUSTOM.PHP¨ template file supposed to go?
I´d really appreciate your help.

You mean the Really Really Strong Style? lol
yes for example aronian tends to play complex middle games....which is why he loses more then magnus....what if he played like magnus's style...he would be just as good as him
magnus tends to play more simple posistionswel
When Magnus plays a simple position what kind of position is his opponent playing?
well in aronian's case a complex posistion, but im saying if aronian changed to magnus more simpler style, he would just as good as magnus
No, what you're saying is blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah please someone respond to one of my posts.
And because you make 10 a day, you usually get at least a few.
is it not true that aronian plays more complex posistions then magnus
so logic would prevail if he played magnus style he would be just as strong as him
A complex one, obivously! Haven't you been listening to what superking has been saying? Magnus wins because he has a simple position, while his oppnent has a complex one.
stop with the sarcasm..please.... tell me what is flawed about my argument...if other GM played like magnus they would be just as strong as him (his style)
Factly, if Aronian play in the really, really strong style that AndyClifton refer to, then Aronian would do really, really well (good as Carlsen) as long as he not make really, really big mistake.
is sapientdust mocking me
No, not mocking anybody, just continuing a riff ;-)
lets just put it this way magnus tends to play it safe aiming for a slight positional/endgame advantage which he could and usually does convert to a win. Aronian on the other hand tends to play complex games hoping for a knockout punch. It doesnt mean he cant play ala carlsen but i belive carlsen positional understanding is superior to anybody thats why he wins on long positional games and his openings suits him well.
My guess would be Vladimir Kramnik
Unfortunately, because he doesn't know that he really really needs to play in the really really strong style (probably because he's really really dumb), he play really really badly, and make really really bg mistake really really often. It's really a really big pity.
I certainly hope so.
I think this thread could give one a complex.
It's making me break out (hm, I wonder what color my rash'll be?).
Uhoh I think your nose is turning orange.
It's actually a giant pimiento.

Alzheimer's Disease Health Center
5 Myths About Alzheimer's Disease
Myth No. 4: There are treatments that stop the disease from getting worse.
While certain treatments can help against Alzheimer's symptoms, "there's no current way to stop or slow" the disease itself, says Heather M. Snyder, PhD, of the Alzheimer's Association.
Snyder warns against supplements, diets, or regimens that claim to cure it. No evidence shows they're useful treatments for the disease.
Five medications are FDA-approved to treat Alzheimer's symptoms: donepezil (Aricept), galantamine (Razadyne), memantine (Namenda), rivastigmine (Exelon), and tacrine (Cognex).
These medications might help with thinking, memory, language skills, and some behavioral problems. But they don't work for everyone. If they do work, the relief is usually temporary. Someone with the condition "may do better for a year or so at best," Perry says.
Myth No. 5: Alzheimer's is caused by aluminum, flu shots, silver fillings, or aspartame.
You may have heard that cooking with aluminum pans or drinking from aluminum cans causes Alzheimer's. But there's no scientific evidence to back that claim.
Some people think the artificial sweetener aspartame causes it. No evidence supports that theory either.
Others think silver dental fillings raise your risk. Again, there's not much to go on.
Another false belief is that flu shots cause Alzheimer's. Research suggests the opposite is true: Vaccinations can lower your risk and boost your overall health.
Experts don't know what causes the disease. It might be a mix of factors tied to genes, environment, and lifestyle. Some research suggests it might be related to health conditions like heart disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes. There's a lot of research under way, but the results aren't yet clear.
Scientists are becoming more interested in the possible role of lifestyle factors. Snyder says a healthy diet, exercise, being social, and doing things that challenge your mind might lower your risk. Since the research is still early on, the exact "lifestyle recipe" is unknown, though.

PRPS Jeans
Katie Holmes in PRPS Boyfriend Jeans
The paps managed to get a quick snap of Katie Holmes as she hailed a taxi in New York a couple of days ago. She had snuck out of a secret entrance from her home to get into the taxi, but upon realizing the paparazzi were follower her, she went straight back home. I wonder where she was headed that was such a secret?
For Katie's short trip out, she chose to wear her PRPS boyfriend jeans with heels and a lightweight jacket. This is our second PRPS sighting in less than a week after a long absence of the brand on DenimBlog. I wonder who we might spot in their jeans next?

Dominic Cooper in PRPS Barracuda Jeans in Enzyme
Dominic Cooper was spotted on the set of his movie Dead Man Down in New York City. He wore a pair of PRPS Barracuda jeans in Enzyme. It's been a while since we have spotted a pair of PRPS jeans. I always found the washes of their jeans to be really extraordinary. They always have a vintage aesthetic to them that I find to be really amazing.
Another thing that I find really amazing about this look, is his jacket. It is very reminiscent of the Burberry jackets from the Spring 2011 season. All the leather jackets, if not all the outerwear, were the coolest things that walked that season. You can click here to purchase these jeans at SINGER22 for $225.
PRPS Autumn/Winter 2012 Press Day
This is a press day post just for our male readers of DenimBlog! I previewed the new PRPS Autumn/Winter 2012 collection back in May in London and I'm finally able to post the photos as the brand is almost ready to release the pieces for sale.
I didn't notice much difference between this collection and the usual PRPS seasons as they tend to always keep it classic rather than on trend, but I did notice a few more chinos and some cords along with more black and darker denim rather than a lot of lighter washed jeans. Since this is their colder weather collection though, I'm sure that's why. They have gone for more of a seasonal approach with these designs. They did have some really nice mid blues though, which you can see in the middle of the top photo, and in true PRPS style, they were heavily coated in rust and dirt.
They had a few denim jackets and shirts which I liked as well as heavy knits and prints in Autumn hues. This whole collection reminded me a lot of a Western inspired theme. That's the vibe I get from it. Hopefully we will see some of our male celeb PRPS fans like David Beckham and Keanu Reeves sporting a new pair from this season soon! What do you guys think? Have you spotted anything you like?

Sandra Bullock in PRPS
Sandra Bullock was spotted taking son Louis to the park in Filmore, California. She wore a pair of PRPS Dart Skinny Jeans. I do like these jeans on Sandra. I just wish they were a tad longer, just to add to the slouchy casual feel a bit more.
PRPS are still one of my favorite brands to spot out. I just love how rugged and worn they look. Each pair always looks like its an actual vintage pair from the past. More people should really start wearing their jeans more, but they do run on the pricier side.
