Fishes of the Central United Statesby Joseph R. Tomelleri, Mark E. Eberle

This is the greatly-expanded second edition of a book that has been hailed by In-Fisherman as "magnificent . . . the finest, most comprehensive book on the fishes of the central United States." Featuring the artwork of nationally acclaimed fish illustrator Joseph Tomelleri, it bridges the gap between technical studies and popular field guides in a volume that is indispensable for anglers and naturalists alike.
Working with Prismacolor, graphite pencils, and painstaking attention to scientifically precise detail, Tomelleri showcases his ability with stunning illustrations that are both technically and aesthetically satisfying, while also capturing subtle variations among fishes that the camera lens misses. In this new edition he depicts 250 fishes, including 87 appearing for the first time (a more than 50% increase over the original edition), found in 21 states from the Great Lakes in the north through the Mississippi Valley to the southern tip of Texas, and west to the foothills of the Rocky Mountains and Rio Grande.
Tomelleri teams up once again with Mark Eberle to provide keen insights into the ecology, natural history, and conservation of these fishes and the types of threats they face. Species accounts are informative but not technical, and are interwoven with folklore and anecdotes. Do you know, for example, what fish looks like "Mother Nature's hand-held vacuum cleaner?" Can you name a minnow that reaches five to six feet in length? Or the fish that sometimes turns up in farmers' fields—alive? What fish has a gizzard? Which one swims a victory lap after it catches its prey? Tomelleri and Eberle reveal the answers and much more in this lavishly illustrated compendium of fish facts and lore.

The title says it all. I consider myself a skilled outdoorsman and nature nut. I searched high and low for a good fish guide covering the midwest U.S. and turned to the ol' reliable sources -- Golden, Peterson, Audubon, and National Geographic. None of them, and dozens of others I reviewed, held a candle to this book. I wanted a comprehensive book, but I didn't need the salt-water information. There aren't too many oceans in Minnesota! The art work in the guide is the best I've ever seen. The narratives for each species is an added bonus. Most guides only give descriptions on animals, this guide does that but goes well beyond that giving interesting and practical insights on behavioral characteristics and some fishing tips. It's also written in a very user friendly style; common and slang titles are also included for each fish, a very helpful feature for those minor wars with friends of what a 'dogfish' really is (or 'are' as the book describes). If you are a beginning angler or an a fishing expert and live in the central (from Canada to Mexico) United States, you absolutely need to buy this book.

This disease is most contagious during its acute stage. This is when the affected person still has a fever.
Someone with mononucleosis does not need to be kept isolated from others. However, many doctors recommend that the patient avoid kissing others while he or she is feeling ill. This helps to help prevent the spread of the infection.
Some authorities also advise avoiding sharing food, drinks or eating utensils during the first few weeks of the illness.

2008 And Now, Some Nice Words
posted by January 14 at 17:10 PMon
Ever since the New Hampshire primary last week, the campaigns of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have been going at each other over racially charged statements, counter-statements, and insinuations (and also over whether or not those statements, counter-statements, and insinuations even deserve to be considered "racially-charged").
Click the links above for the highlight reel, and then, assuming the below can be believed, say goodbye to this line of intra-party fighting. (But first, you really should give a listen to this.)
From an Obama press conference this afternoon:
"You have seen a tone on the Democrat[ic] side of the campaign that has been unfortunate. I want to stipulate a couple of things. I may disagree with Senator Clinton and Senator Edwards on how to get there, but we share the same goals. We all believe in civil rights. We all believe in equal rights. They are good people. They are patriots…
I don't want the campaign at this stage to degenerate to so much tit-for-tat, back-and-forth, that we lose sight of why we are doing this."
Obama said he wants to send "a strong signal to my own supporters that lets try to focus on the work that needs to get done. If I hear my own supporters engaging in talk that I think is ungenerous or misleading or unfair, I will speak out forcefully against it….
Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton have historically been on the right side of civil rights issues. They care about the African American community. That is something I am convinced of. I want Americans to know that is my assessment."
And shortly afterward came this statement from Hillary Clinton:
Over this past week, there has been a lot of discussion and back and forth - much of which I know does not reflect what is in our hearts.
And at this moment, I believe we must seek common ground.
Our party and our nation is bigger than this. Our party has been on the front line of every civil rights movement, women's rights movement, workers' rights movement, and other movements for justice in America.
We differ on a lot of things. And it is critical to have the right kind of discussion on where we stand. But when it comes to civil rights and our commitment to diversity, when it comes to our heroes - President John F. Kennedy and Dr. King - Senator Obama and I are on the same side.
And in that spirit, let's come together, because I want more than anything else to ensure that our family stays together on the front lines of the struggle to expand rights for all Americans.

Who doesn't want a picture-perfect wedding? With these purple-inspired Save the Dates, your wedding will look as if it came right out of a painting! Today we're exploring the lovely possibilities of the color purple.
Literally using a painted watercolor texture evokes a feeling of hand-created artwork. Watercolors stir up childhood memories playing with paints but they also lend a feeling of delicacy. The tones are often lightweight and variegated so basing your wedding on watercolors allows for lots of tones to be used. Consider the look of sheer fabrics draped down the aisle; a wedding dress in similar sheer layers would also continue the theme.
The amazing part of Painted with Love Save the Date (above) is that you can change the colors of the watercolor! In fact, you can personalize all the colors on our Watercolor Save the Dates. Personalizing the paint strokes in a range of purples is a beautiful option for sweet spring weddings.
While not exactly a painterly approach, Vintage Blossoms Save the Date employs a charming illustration. Orchid and lavender offer a soft and subtle palette for the artwork on this design. The romantic connotations of sweet purples are just perfect for a vintage-inspired spring wedding. Purple also suggests a historical, regal quality, as it is the color of kings, queens and royalty. A lighter purple like lavender is often used to create a vintage feel almost all by itself. Consider trying purple on another Vintage Save the Date design.
Moving toward a more modern interpretation, Graphic Bloom Save the Date creates a different feel entirely! Employing orchid as the text color is a brilliant touch, transforming it from the look of black ink to the look of simple brushstrokes. Placing orchid purple on bright white produces a current, contemporary feel. The half-tone inspired dots in the flower also suggest a more modern approach. Consider adding in hand drawn elements (especially any signs) in a similar calligraphic approach. Or find your own Modern Save the Date to personalize.
Purples are so fun to paint your wedding palette with! Be inspired by Purple Save the Dates, but remember: Any of our Save the Dates can be personalized in any color. Try it out for yourself!
Paint your Save the Date in purple and let me know how it goes!

"Te Aroha" Te Aroha by kiwi
Te Aroha Travel Guide: 17 reviews and 56 photos
Te Aroha is a lovely little town nestled under the peak of the Kaimai Range, Mt Te Aroha.
The old shops have been painted and kept tidy, here they are under the weather of the mountain.
The town clock is rather imposing in the main central area.
Caffe Banco and Bar.
- Pros:Green, small, friendly.
- Cons:On the way to nowhere, and in the shadow.
- In a nutshell:Small town in the shadow of the mountain.

Good on yer, Pam, doing a page about the place I was born! In fact, I drew my first breath in the maternity home just beside the Waihou River near the bridge in your pic. I believe it is now a rest home! cheers, Roger
Cool you have a 1712 Renatus Harris organ in Kiwi land that is really something. Nice indoor photo work Kiwi. Can you have a repeat of the famous Battle of the Organs in 1684 in NZ -- is there any made by his hated rival "Father" Bernard Smith.
Mt Te Aroha and the Kaimais were just mentioned on the radio - snow falling heavily down to 600 meters. I didn't even know about this town - I'd love to take a proper look around one day. I think it's a sunny day place..
Our uncle lived many years in Te Aroha and we visited this little town twice. Never thought to see anything about it on VT.
Why oh why NZ is sooo far away ? So many nices places. So good there are your pages.
Smashing page!
Yes, Te Aroha is lovely. Best wishes Nada
Wierd !
And there I was thinking it was an ironic pub! Hopefully no barbed wire on the toilet seat ... :-)
I hope they were from the women's room, Pam. ;>

Florida's legislative session kicks off Tuesday morning.
In the face of an historic budget deficit, it's expected to be one of the most difficult 60 days on record.
Major cuts are expected as lawmakers tackle a $4 billion budget shortfall.
Republicans in control of both houses pledge not to raise taxes.
The governor is already at odds with the legislature following the sale of both state planes and rejection of high speed rail project. Now he wants to cut the budget by an additional million dollars to make room for property and corporate income tax cuts.
Scott contends he's doing what he was elected to do... Change the culture of state government.
Many lawmakers call the plan unrealistic
The House and Senate hold opening day ceremonies Tuesday morning. Then the governor delivers his state-of-the-state at 6:00 p.m. eastern.

It is Rampage. What did you expect?
I cannot imagine that they changed the Rampage repetition formula much.
Unlike some of you I actually appreciate Rishi's honesty. Cuz I was also tempted but now that I know more about it I'm glad I didn't think twice about not getting it. Game looks really repetitive with absolutely no point to it.

I welcome students of all ages with both Suzuki and traditional backgrounds. The students I teach range from beginners to advanced players. For younger students I am an advocate of the Suzuki method. Developed by Japanese violinist Shinichi Suzuki after the Second World War, this method is founded on the premise that all children are born with a natural ability to play and enjoy music. The development of the ear, strong parental involvement that fosters an environment of praise and encouragement, and daily practicing and listening to music are all key to the method. Suzuki observed that children learn to speak language effortlessly simply by hearing the language spoken by others and imitating. He discovered that the musical ear can be developed in the same way.
Students can begin violin lessons through the Suzuki method as early as the age of three. The parent attends their child's weekly violin lesson, takes notes and becomes the child's teacher for daily practice sessions at home. I also provide two group classes a month where students perform together, gaining motivation and inspiration from one another. Learn more about the Suzuki method at the Suzuki Association of the Americas website.
FaceTime/Skype lessons are available to students outside of the Richmond area.
Contact me for more information regarding lessons.

Re: High(er) Intensity Weapons
Walter Martindale
Frankly, if I was preparing for a lethal duel with live blades, I'd be running or driving in the opposite direction, or hoping the heck I could get the 9mm out of the safe, load it, and bring it to bear while the live blades were still more than 10 metres away from me. If I was in a place where I expected the possibility of being attacked by someone with a live blade, I'd hope to prepare by carrying an AK, a C-8 (the Canuck combat rifle), or something equivalent...
If the situation of someone attacking me with a live blade (a sword? really? in today's society? what is this, Rwanda in the 1990s?) with the intent to start me on the dust-to-dust process, I'd probably get chopped to bits. He (or she) wouldn't have to run too fast to catch me, because I'm getting slow in my old age. If the person did catch up with me, of course, I'd fight like hell, enter if possible, and try to do what I could to disarm, disable, dispatch the attacker, but how often do two people face off in a sword duel to the death in 2011... really? Is this a common occurrence where you live?
Are you saying there is no point to sword training, then? Has my wife gotten into your account?
If you can't take sword training somewhat seriously, then you are just training with sticks.
If you are training with sticks, then why bother with shinai and bokken and crap - do Dog Brothers. Their stuff is the apex of freeform stick fighting.

Chobe Game Lodge Upstairs Bar & Internet Room: "Lots of Stuff, Well Equipped, but Few Visitors" Top 5 Page for this destination Chobe National Park Nightlife Tip by glabah
Chobe National Park Nightlife: 1 reviews and 0 photos
Chobe Game Lodge (see my tip on this lodge) is the only overnight lodge in the park. There are camps here and there, but camps are not permanent establishments the way a lodge / hotel is.
Thus, in many ways, the only night life there is in Chobe (at least for people!) is here at the Chobe Game Lodge. Even night game drives are not allowed in Chobe, and so very much so, night life here at Chobe is limited to the Chobe Game Lodge.
There are several bars at the Chobe Game Lodge. The upstairs bar is the most promising one for night life. Yet, it also seems to be the one least visited. Despite there being a fair number of tourists at the lodge when I visited, there was NO ONE in the upstairs bar other than the bar tender while I was there.
Aside of it being the internet service for the lodge, it is also seems to has a wonderful drink selection (I'm no expert in these things - especially on an international scale) and such typical bar fare as pool tables (probably called "snooker tables" here).
It is not difficult at all to imagine any of the movie stars, royalty and other celebrities that visited in the 1960s and 1970s sitting down here for a stiff drink and flirting with eachother during the evening after a long day of wilderness exploring.
Dress Code: This is an international tourist destination. It is really hard to say what the dress code is, because the people who come here well understand that they are staying in the middle of a wilderness environment, and thus tend to be very informal in the way they dress.
At the same time, it should also be understood that the Chobe Game Lodge used to be world famous as a place for the very high end tourist class, and famous people have stayed here. I would imagine that such company would dress up considerably when visiting Chobe Game Lodge's upstairs bar, as it is a fairly nice place.
I would therefore imagine that they have seen almost anything wander through the bar - from swim suits from the swimming pool to elegant gowns worn by the celebrities that used to make this place tick in the 1960s and 1970s.
Address: On the Banks of the Chobe River, Chobe National Pk
Directions: It is very difficult to find your way over the maze of dirt roads. You don't come here unless you have a reservation anyway, since traffic through the park isn't allowed at night.

RFF and RFF Experts in the News
Here's How Trump's Wall Could Block U.S.-Mexico Gas and Oil Pipelines
"'What Trump fails to see is that cutting trade into the United States will...cut our ability to export both goods and capital to Mexico, where our companies would directly benefit. It's just extremely short-sighted and without logic, taking us back to the mercantilism days, where countries actually thought they would be better off if they didn't trade,' said Alan Krupnick, senior fellow and co-director of the Resources for the Future Center for Energy and Climate Economics."
"U.S. hegemony and some of its past policies give Mexicans reason for concern for maintaining their autonomy and dignity; continued openness is not a foregone conclusion, said Dan Shawhan, visiting fellow at natural resource and environmental think tank Resources for the Future, in an email.
'It seems to me likely that they will depend on part on the policies and statements of the U.S. government. Assaults to Mexican national dignity, threats of trade tariffs, or concerns about other punitive U.S. government actions could result in reduced Mexican openness to energy trade and policy cooperation,' he said."
Quoted People:
If Carbon Pricing Is So Great, Why Isn't It Working?
"There is no evidence yet that China's market will produce stronger carbon prices than its predecessors. While the rules are still being decided, experts expect that it will launch with free distribution of allowances. 'There will be mostly free allocation, but auctioning — presumably with a reserve price — will play an increasingly important role over time,' predicts Clayton Munnings, a colleague of Burtraw's and a China expert at Resources for the Future."
"'My view is that a carbon price is imperative,' says Burtraw, 'but in the end it will not have to be high.'"
Quoted People:
To Lead on Climate, California Needs Its Whole Arsenal
"The talk I'm picking up presently is that some believe it would make sense to do away with several key California carbon-reduction programs in favor of putting all eggs exclusively in one basket – the state's cap-and-trade program. Because the greater simplicity of a stripped-down approach might be attractive, it cannot be dismissed entirely. However, I believe just the opposite."
Quoted People:
How Coal Could Help Save Money and the Planet
"Federal lands provide about 40 percent of the coal that fuels U.S. electric power plants. Private producers lease the rights to extract this coal on federal lands, but current leasing policies fail key economic tests, says a new report from the President's Council of Economic Advisers, discussed this week at Resources for the Future."
White House: Raising Coal Royalties a Boon for Taxpayers, and for the Climate
"Furman unveiled the report and a panel of four outside experts then discussed CEA's findings at a seminar hosted by the research nonprofit Resources for the Future on Wednesday in Washington, D.C."
Forget Cap and Trade's Detractors, California's Carbon-Pricing Works
"What the May auction really portends isn't the demise of the state's cap-and-trade project, but rather its success. Cap-and-trade programs have one goal: To reduce harmful pollution. And that is what is happening."
Quoted People:
Top Admin Official Outlines 'Strong Case' for Leasing Reform
"Taxpayers are already not getting their money's worth from federal coal leasing regardless of the Obama administration's concerns about coal's environmental impact, a top White House economist said today. Jason Furman, chairman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers, outlined a 'strong case' for coal leasing reform today during a presentation at Washington, D.C., think tank Resources for the Future."
School Enrollment Spiked With Production in N.D. -- Report
"School enrollment, especially in the elementary grades, in North Dakota's shale-touched regions rose in tandem with Bakken oil production, according to a new analysis from Resources for the Future."
Quoted People:
Nathan Ratledge
Referenced Blog Post:
Pipeline Bill Follows TSCA to West Wing
"Resources for the Future analyzed how best to impose a carbon tax and found that using the revenues from a carbon tax (initially set at $45 a ton) to reduce corporate income tax rates, 'significantly reduces the cost of the policy compared to rebating of the revenues to households.' The welfare cost of that approach is below the social-cost of carbon, and so would 'pass a cost–benefit test by a significant margin,' its researchers concluded."

Let's suppose I have this simple snippet:

Obviously, everytime I push that button a new task is started even when a previous task still runs. How would I postpone any new task until all previous tasks have finished?

Possible solution:
I could imagine creating tasks and storing them in a list. But how would I execute the tasks with respect to the requirements? Or should I return to the thread-based solution I have used before?

CELINA, Tex. -- It was a special Monday night for the Celina Fire Department. All 41 firefighters took part in a pinning ceremony.
All firefighters get a badge when they join the force, but none in Celina has ever been officially pinned with their firefighting badge.
So Monday night, for the first time in Celina's history, a municipal judge officially swore-in the firefighters in front of 150 of their friends and family.
Congratulations to the men and women of Celina Fire.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa (May 19, 2013)—Beef Products, Inc., the beef-processing company that makes the product that critics dubbed "pink slime," continues to struggle more than a year after the initial stories on the lean bits of beef it produced.
The Dakota Dunes, S.D., based company lost 80 percent of its business after the uproar over what BPI calls lean finely textured beef.
The lean meat BPI separated from trimmings was widely used in hamburger, but consumers objected to it after media reports depicted it as unsavory.
The private company closed three of its four plants, scrapped expansion plans in South Sioux City and eliminated more than 700 jobs, which won't return soon.
Oscar Gomez, who lost his job, says the situation is unfortunate.

in almost ever conceivable way, but (theoretically) to improve it in
some remarkable way.
I am an IT guy, so I think that the iPhone's killer app is, well...the

It is a 1-star Hotel, don't expect too much. Only go with very low expectations, you will get a place to park your car, a comfortable bed to sleep, ac, bathroom and an old TV. If you just need that, this hotel may be an option.

I mean I expected this when I booked the hotel. You get what you pay for. It was cheap. I stayed there because I was attending a show at the Lakefront Arena which was about 3 miles away. Convenient for me. I mean it is in the hood. Even our cab driver told us that this was a crackhead hotel. There were other ppl staying there that we're attending the same show. The hotel didn't bother me. You get what you pay for. Just letting you guys know what the hotel is if you decide to book a room there! ...

All I wanted was a place to sleep at night and leave some stuff during the day; this hotel worked fine for that. If you want flat screens and plush pillows and so on, then stop being stingy and pay for a real hotel. The price is so low because this hotel should really only be used to sleep. It fulfills its purpose.

Basic accomodations but it got the job done.

Solo Traveler
The New Orleans Inn is inexpensive and fairly close to all major attractions in New Orleans by car. The Inn is difficult to find, though, as it sits near train tracks-use the France St exit to get there. The beds are stiff and pillows flat and the area it's located in is questionable (train whistles at 5am and street walkers were near by). The free internet is nice and the rooms are large, but the multiple minuses do not make this place worth the stay. ...

Hello everyone!
Excuse me...I have a problem with a website with this theme:
I have to change some little things...like the background color and fonts etc...
I've tried to change the background in the "background" section, but the only thing that change is the border.
Besides, the homepage appear completely different from the theme.
It was done from another developer, but now the client (my friend) asked me to change something...
but I couldn't understand why the homepage is completely different and nothing change! (for example also the fonts for the "polaroids"...I couldn't change anywhere!...also the header!).
Someone can explain me? Maybe I couldn't find the source of this page?
I never saw "Polaroids" on this theme....why here they are?
Thank you

January Jones in Goldsign Skinny Jeans
January Jones catches a flight out of LAX with her son Xander. I wonder where January is jetting off to this time?
I love this outfit on her! She really wears high-waist styles so well and this pair of Goldsign Skinny jeans looks great on her. January has worn Goldsign a couple of times before, but opted for boyfriend styles. I hope we see her out in this pair again!
Rachel Bilson in Goldsign Jenny in Debut
Rachel Bilson was snapped taking a walk through SoHo and shopping with friends. She was in town to appear on Live! With Kelly and Michael! On air, she did the Dirty Dancing Lift with host, Michael Strahan.
Both on air and after, Rachel wore her Goldsign Jenny jeans in Debut. I think pairing jeans with booties can be tricky if you don't want to tuck them in, but I think the way Rachel cuffed them here looks great because it shows off the booties, yet the cuff doesn't look sloppy.

Jessica Simpson in Goldsign Sissi Platform Flares in Focus
Spotted catching a flight to New York, Jessica Simpson smiled for the cameras as she made her way into LAX. Jessica was flying to New York to appear on Katie Couric's new show, Katie. Jessica appeared on the show to discuss her newborn daughter Maxwell and her weight loss struggles.
Jessica wore an all black outfit, with an embroidered tunic and a pair of Goldsign Sissi platform flares in Focus. I think these are a great pair of jeans for Jessica, since she's shorter, the flare makes her legs look longer, especially when worn with heels. What do you think of Jessica's outfit?

Stonington — Pequot Trail near Wheeler Drive is still closed tonight following an afternoon accident but police expect the road will be open by this morning.
While more than 800 customers were without power in Pawcatuck Monday afternoon after a car struck a utility pole at the eastern end of Pequot Trail, that number was reduced to 50 to night. CL&P crews are still on the scene tonight repairing the pole and downed power lines.
Just past 12:30 p.m. a car driven by an elderly local man heading east on Pequot Trail went off the side of the road and struck the pole before coming to rest on a small stone wall. The crash took down numerous power lines along Pequot Trail and Wheeler Drive.
The man, who was conscious and alert after the crash, told police on the scene that he had taken his eyes off the road for a second.
He was trapped in the car and had to be extricated by Pawcatuck firefighters just before 1 p.m. He was then taken to Westerly Hospital to be treated for minor injuries.
The crash cut off power to the police station which operated for some time on emergency generators. Police did not release his name Monday.

1. Tomas Hertl, C: Hertl will enter training camp ready and able to crack the Sharks' opening-day roster. He was taken 17th in the 2012 NHL Draft, and so far the 19-year-old has exceeded all expectations. Last season the Czech Republic native led his hometown team, HC Slavia Praha, with 18 goals and 30 points in 43 games despite being the youngest player on the team.
After a sensational season in the competitive Czech Extraliga, Hertl signed a three-year, entry-level contract June 4. Most prognosticators have Hertl starting the season on the second line alongside Joe Thornton and Brent Burns, replacing TJ Galiardi, who was traded to the Calgary Flames.
If Hertl cracks the roster, expect the 6-foot-2, 200-pound forward to display a willingness to battle for the puck and an ability to make a play with it.

Software review is a fundamental tool for software quality assurance. Nevertheless, there are significant controversies as to the most efficient and effective review method. One of the most important questions currently being debated is the utility of meetings. Although almost all industrial review methods are centered around the inspection meeting, recent findings call their value into question. In prior research the authors separately and independently conducted controlled experimental studies to explore this issue. The paper presents new research to understand the broader implications of these two studies. To do this, they designed and carried out a process of "reconciliation" in which they established a common framework for the comparison of the two experimental studies, reanalyzed the experimental data with respect to this common framework, and compared the results. Through this process they found many striking similarities between the results of the two studies, strengthening their individual conclusions. It also revealed interesting differences between the two experiments, suggesting important avenues for future research

Higher School Certificate (Victoria)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Higher School Certificate, or HSC, was the credential awarded to secondary school students who successfully completed senior high school level studies (years 11 and 12 or equivalent) in the state of Victoria, Australia. In 1987, there was trial of its successor, the Victorian Certificate of Education,[1] and until 1992, it was completely replaced.[2] It is unrelated to the Higher School Certificate awarded in New South Wales. Every state and territory in Australia has a different education system, and consequently a different leaving credential.

|Reviews for Idioms!
| VG LittleBear chapter 50 . 5/16/2015
Hi, I saved the last chapter for a rainy day, loving the stories you wrote around each idiom. Ziva coming into her own at last was very enjoyable. Thanks and cheers!
| VG LittleBear chapter 38 . 5/11/2015
Hi, this one is a definite favorite: socks, thigh, and the voice of Gibbs. He must have a rather active imagination, that's why he thinks there's too much detail *snicker*. Thanks and cheers!
| VG LittleBear chapter 2 . 4/4/2015
Tweety bird an' Thilvethter ... an image to remember! I think Ziva's version is right for that particular Jibbs glimpse! LOL. Thanks and cheers!
| VG LittleBear chapter 1 . 4/4/2015
Hi, I love idioms, and so I happily latch onto this collection, even long after you're done.
Bird, worm! You bet Ziva's in for the kill, and she wants Tony along for the thrill of trying a new flavor! Thanks and cheers!
| jethro10 chapter 36 . 9/11/2014
I love this chapter! Just so funny.

Diane was here! Hilarious! Wet my pants laughing and crying at that one!
| geekyfangirl3 chapter 50 . 7/30/2014
Omg your entire story was amazing. I read it all in a day, am crying with laughter and I think I will go and read it again as it was so good. I also loved the less than subtle jibbs undertone ;-)
| middawn chapter 2 . 8/5/2013
smacking boots? whats the real idiom?
| Loads of Randomness chapter 50 . 8/4/2013
BRILLIANT. tHIS WAS A BRILLIANT END TO SUCH A GREAT FIC I LOVED ALL OF IT
Favourite line: ""Perhaps he's a closet metrosexual with a stiletto fetish?" Jenny suggested, leaning back against a filing cabinet with an amused look." snorts
| Loads of Randomness chapter 49 . 8/4/2013
i Do love McAbby and this was the perfect way to tie it in )
Favourite line: ""RUN MCGEE!" shouted Tony, taking off himself, hoping the doomed Probie heard his warning.
Zia was quick to follow." What does gibbs do to him when he's caught him?
| Loads of Randomness chapter 48 . 8/4/2013
Gubbs is mean, he should explain it too her! Though anyone would appear talkative next to gibbs
| Loads of Randomness chapter 47 . 8/4/2013
Very good. Tony is too nosy for his own good
Favourite line: ""Reading someone's mail is a federal crime," McGee announced obnoxiously.
"Well I am a federal agent, McLegal-Lawyer," Tony retorted loftily, "and I suspect Ziva of un-American activities."
"Like being Israeli?" McGee snorted, rolling his eyes disapprovingly." well, ziva can be very suspicious )

Corticosteroids for Cluster HeadachesSkip to the navigation
Topic Overview
Corticosteroids (such as prednisone or dexamethasone) are referred to as "transitional" medicines for the treatment of cluster headaches , because they are sometimes used to break a cycle of cluster headaches. They are paired with medicines that stop (abortive) or prevent (prophylactic) additional headaches during a headache cycle. Often, within 2 to 4 days after starting treatment with corticosteroids, you will become headache-free. By the time the corticosteroids are stopped—their use is often tapered within 6 to 8 weeks of starting and then discontinued—the medicines used to prevent cluster headaches, such as verapamil, have taken effect.
Corticosteroids are not used over a long period of time because they can cause serious side effects, including:
- Weight gain.
- High blood pressure.
- High blood sugar levels.
- Cataracts.
- Osteoporosis.
- Stomach ulcers.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)

text: Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player. Celldex Therapeutics ( CLDX) Small phase II studies have shown promising efficacy from Celldex's cancer immunotherapy "vaccine" CDX-110 in patients with glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer. What's needed next is a large, well-designed phase III study of CDX-110 in patients with glioblastoma that can more conclusively demonstrate the drug's ability to help patients live longer. And therein lies the risk in Celldex. Pfizer ( PFE) gave up on Celldex and CDX-110, returning rights to the drug and forcing the company to design and fund a phase III study on its own. This study is expected to begin later this year but the wait for data will be long. Also pay attention to Celldex's second pipeline drug, CDX-011, which is being tested in a 120-patient, randomized, controlled phase IIb clinical trial in advanced breast cancer. (The study will enroll a large number of women with so-called "triple negative" disease, which is very difficult to treat.) Celldex expects enrollment to be complete by the end of the year, which should yield results in 2012. Prev 6 of 11 Next

Amazon Down! Amazon Down!
No one knows why! We haven't felt this way since 1994.
A little while ago we started feeling a little bit funny. Soundgarden's "Black Hole Sun" was going through our head, and we were really craving a Snapple. We thought about creating a 'zine, then decided we'd rather read Blake Nelson's novel Girl. We clicked over to Amazon to order it but—Amazon wasn't there. CNN is reporting that the Website is down. That's right: For the first time in fourteen years, we are living in a world without Amazon.com. Can you feel it in the air? It's just like 1994.

'Millionaire Madam' Celebrates Her 45 Minutes in Jail With Nasty Trash-Talk Session
The target: D.A. Cyrus Vance.
When Anna Gristina was arrested earlier this year for running a Manhattan brothel, law-enforcement sources crowed to the gleeful tabloids about her A-list clients and the millions of dollars she made serving them. Despite a five-year investigation, the case turned out to be something of a bust, with the juicy details limited to a predictable John Edwards connection, and the hockey mom pleading guilty to a single count of promoting prostitution. Today, Gristina did an additional 45 minutes in custody before being released for time served, and then capped off her strange journey with a blazing encore targeting the district attorney.
Asked by a judge to comment at her sentencing, Gristina said, "It's probably better, your honor, that I don't," according to the Post. But speaking with reporters later, the mother of four and her lawyer Norman Pattis unleashed. "She [pleaded] out to a sting operation by one cop — who paid $2,000 of tax payer's money to watch two women engage in cunnilingus," said Pattis about the city's undercover sting. "So who's the pimp? Cyrus Vance? Sounds like it to me." Gristina agreed: "Look at the DA's office itself!"
"There is nothing glamorous about prostitution," Vance countered through a spokesperson. "Anna Gristina rented women's bodies for profit, which makes her a pimp. That also makes her a felon, and the court has now issued that judgment. She has no one to blame but herself for her decisions." (Gristina has five years of probation to look forward to, and could still face deportation to her native Scotland.)
"I wish we would have tried this case, and that he had tried it himself, personally," Pattis added of Vance. "I think he would be pulling my shoe out of his ass." If that performance doesn't sell Gristina's tell-all, nothing will.

I want to let you know that 1) this is awesome, and 2) theblowfishdiaries.blogspot.com has used it without crediting you. And that annoys me because as soon as i saw it on Google Images I wanted to know who was responsible for the awesomeness.

Rated 5 out of 5�by vanessa8941 Excellent Protection These shorts keep my twin boys dry and protected. I have washed them and usually air dry them and they have not torn at all. Most of all it keeps them protected from getting kneed during football games and the cup is comfortable and does not bother or cause any discomfort which is what I was unsure of before I got this product.

The next-generation Phaeton will introduce a new design direction for VW when it arrives in showrooms in 2015, Auto Express can reveal.
The current range is influenced by the Golf – which design boss Klaus Bischoff has admitted was a mistake – so the company will adopt a 'top-down' approach, led by the new flagship saloon.
"Using a bottom-up design strategy didn't work," Bischoff told Auto Express. "Flagship models like the Phaeton should act as halo products and influence the way the other cars in the range look, rather than the other way round."
Bischoff also criticised models in the company's current line-up for looking too similar, and promised that future VWs will have more individuality.
"There will be a specific look for saloons, one for our SUVs, one for the people carriers and one for our hatchbacks," he explained.
But while future VWs will look 'cooler', Bischoff assured us that this new approach wouldn't compromise practicality or driving experiences.

Using WPML - find the Dynamic Widgets language settings too vague.
Unless I'm missing something the option is as follows:
Show widget default on all languages? Y/N
Except the languages:
I have a widget in English and Spanish versions.
I want the English version to appear on the English page and to be the default for other languages without their own widget and I want the Spanish widget to appear ONLY on Spanish language pages.
So far so good - on the english widget I select yes and leave the exception boxes unchecked except for Spanish which I check because it has it's own widget.
But what do I do for the Spanish widget? I don't want it to be the default for all languages so I choose N on that.
The only other options I have are the exception boxes which appear to relate to the default language option which I have checked No on so they should not be relevant.
So where do I select Spanish as the only language this widget applies to?
Seems very unclear - can anyone explain?
