Chrysler was quick to catch on to the fact that their new 300 sedan
was a hit with younger buyers, and in 2008, they rolled out this
300 DUB Edition. DUB, if you are unfamiliar, is both a slang term
for 20-inch wheels and the name of a magazine celebrating car
culture and big hoops, and the match was unlikely but really worked
The 300 was a game-changer for Chrysler and it put some swagger back in their step. Low, sleek, muscular, and able to back it up with plenty of firepower, it was everything an American sedan was supposed to be. This one remains mostly original and in excellent condition, showing gleaming charcoal gray paint and enough chrome to remind you that this one comes from Detroit, not Munich. Don't let the mileage scare you, though, because this car has obviously led an easy life and having been housed down south all its life, you know rust is a total non-issue. The 300 always looks best in dark colors, and the broad-shouldered look hunkers down on those big shiny wheels rather well. Up front there's a mesh grille that many feel looks like it should be on a Bentley, and a deep chin spoiler with built-in fog lamps helps make the car look even lower. There are a few signs of age and use, of course, but clearly someone felt this car was worthy of preservation, so while it was driven, it was also very well maintained.
Inside the 300 is a well-tailored suit designed for serious driving, starting with supportive black leather buckets that are in excellent condition. There are DUB logos stitched on the seat backs, but the rest is standard 300 fare, which means excellent yet stylish gauges, a long list of standard features, and plenty of room. The seats remain in very good shape, the carpets show only the most minor fading, and details like the headliner, door panels, and dash pad are excellent. The white-faced gauges and fat 4-spoke steering wheel speak to the 300's performance aspirations, but you'll note that the delicate needles on the gauge faces give them a very retro look. Almost everything was standard, including automatic climate control, power seats, windows, locks, and mirrors, a sunroof, cruise control, and a great-sounding AM/FM/CD/satellite/iPod stereo system with a big screen in the middle of the dash. The trunk is big enough for all your luggage on a road trip, even with the big subwoofer tucked into the corner.
Chrysler's mid-range 3.5 liter DOHC V6 provides plenty of performance in the DUB Edition while balancing it with reasonable fuel economy. Long since proven as one of those most reliable Chrysler powerplants in recent memory, this one runs great and has an energetic feeling that you'll pick up the first time you drive it. The engine bay is tidy and well-maintained and has not been modified at all, so OEM levels of reliability are still intact. The 5-speed automatic transmission was the only choice and it shifts crisply and mostly stays in the background, just as you'd want it. It's rear-wheel-drive, and that was a big deal when it hit the streets, and with a Mercedes E-Class independent suspension, it's a spirited handler, too. 4-wheel discs live behind those giant shiny wheels, which are wrapped in 245/45/20 Pirelli radials.
This is a lot of style for not a lot of cash, and you'll stand out in a subtle way with the DUB edition. Call today!

Good morning all
Which Classic MMO is still worth playing?
Which one still has a player base and still keeps people interested after all these years?
(Also I dont care if its free or sub, that does not affect me on how i choose to play a game)
Here is a small list but please add if you like.
Out of what you listed, Vanguard, Runescape and EQ are still worth getting into.
DAOC might be worth it ONLY if you are interested in the RvR and nothing else.
UO is an absolute mess with no direction.
Ok I will narrow down what you said.
Vanguard: I played this when it came out and really enjoyed it. A few bugs here and there. I have not played this though since free to play and curious if it changed much.
DAOC: This was actually my first mmo and back in the days I loved it. Though now that im older I would like to have a game that has a little more PvE depth.
EQ: I actually have never played this. I played EQ2 for a bit and found it fun, but I found it not very hardcore.
Runescape: another one I never played, but watched videos on it. From what the community talks about is that it has changed drastically over the years and now is more of a kids game. Did Runescape 2 make it worth looking into?

|Re: MultiSearcher discards interim results
|Tue, 11 Feb 2003 19:31:42 GMT
Doug, I tried to reply through a webmail facility earlier today, but it seems to have failed. I'll try and provide a similar reply now. Please discard the earlier attempt, if it gets through... On Friday 07 February 2003 19:58, you wrote: > I'm confused. The contract of this method is to return the top-scoring > nDocs. For a multi-searcher it must compute the top-scoring nDocs from > each sub-searcher, then find the top-scoring nDocs among these. If you For the first sub-searcher: yes. For the remaining sub-searchers it is only necessary to collect docs with a score not smaller than the minimum score provided by the first subsearcher. In the worst case all the results of the remaining subsearchers will be discarded anyway, so there is no point in collecting the best ndocs for each of them, and in doing all the work in their priority queues. The patch attempts to avoid this by using a single hit collector with a single priority queue. Some time ago I tried to implement a multi searcher and retriever using the best ndocs from each subsearcher and discarding all superfluous results. The real problem was that it would also retrieve all documents before discarding them. Needless to say that I switched to a home brewn hit collector very soon. After collecting, the retrieval is now done in order of document number per index reader. As the new MultiSearcher also provides more consistent scoring between subsearchers, I going to give it a try it asap. I'd also like to try the new scoring explanation facilities. Are there people using the nightly builds with some success? Kind regards, Ype --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: email@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com

We are so glad that we can finally post an event where the flyer features people who are not necessarily a chiseled-body hunk or a half-naked beauty. We are not throwing shade to all our promoter friends. We are celebrating the diversity of our LGBT people and are happy to represent men of a body type that is not as publicly idolized.
Get into this new pride weekend titled "Big Boy Pride."
Big Boy Pride-The Movement was born out of a need in the big boy community. All of the other events for big boys and their supporters to attend are attached to other pride weekends or holiday weekends. The men in the big boy community, as well their admirers are so special that we deserve a weekend that is all our own – created just for us, by us and completely about us. During Spring Fling 2011, Jay Torrence and Tony Brown recognized the magnitude of what had developed among the men in attendance and believed that the experience needed to be taken to the next level. Thus, Big Boy Pride-The Movement was born.
Big Boy Pride-The Movement is a four day event presented to foster the empowerment and togetherness of same gender loving larger men and those who support them.
Big Boy Pride-The Movement is about brotherhood, self love and awareness, relationship building and elevating consciousness in the community. There will be pool parties, live entertainment. and lots of fun activities. We will present relevant seminars to heighten education on health issues, activities that will foster camaraderie and events that cultivate togetherness and pride in self and the collective big boy community.
The four day event will take place at Parliament House-Orlando, FL Thursday, March 29-Monday, April 2, 2012

Sarah Clementine "Sallie"
Learn about removing the ads from this memorial...
Dec. 16, 1863
Fannin County
Texas, USA
Aug. 25, 1943
Rogers County
Oklahoma, USA
Sarah "Sallie" Clementine Rogers was born December 16, 1863, in Bonham, Texas (Fannin County) the daughter of Clement Vann Rogers (1839-1911) and Mary America Schrimsher (1839-1890). Both of Sallie's parents were of Cherokee heritage. Sallie's father was a prominent figure in the Cherokee Nation. Rogers County, Oklahoma was named him.
Sallie's father, a slaveholder and Captain in the Confederate Cherokee Service, fought for the Confederacy during the Civil War. When his wife, Mary, became pregnant with Sallie during the war, she left the Cherokee Nation and took refuge in Bonham, Texas, on a small farm near a Confederate Refugee Camp to escape the destruction and violence in the Cherokee Nation. Mary had already lost her first daughter, and did not want to risk losing another. When the war was over, the Rogers family returned home only to find that their property had been totally destroyed and their cattle and livestock all gone. Devastation throughout the Cherokee Nation was severe. In 1870, the Rogers family established a new home in the Cherokee Nation on the Verdegris River, southwest of Chelsea, where Sallie and her siblings were raised.
Sallie ultimately had seven siblings: Elizabeth Rogers, born September 11, 1861 and died December 1861; Robert M. Rogers, born April 15, 1866 and died in 1883; Maud Rogers, born November 28, 1869; May Rogers, born May 31, 1873 and died May 25, 1909; Zoe Rogers, born January 31, 1876 and died July 24, 1876; Homer Rogers, born July 1, 1878 and died September 25, 1878; and William Penn Adair "Will" Rogers, born November 4, 1879. Only Sallie, Maude Ethel, May, and William Penn survived into adulthood.
Sallie Rogers was educated in Cherokee Nation schools, graduating in 1880 in a class of seven. After graduation, she taught at the Cherokee Orphanage in Salina, where she met her future husband, John Thomas "Tom" McSpadden. On December 15, 1885, in the parlor of the Rogers home, Sallie married Tom McSpadden, who was born March 15, 1852, in Fort Payne, Alabama (DeKalb County), son of Reverend Thomas Kingsbury B. McSpadden and Elizabeth Green. Tom was a Chelsea businessman and cattle rancher. After a honeymoon in New Orleans, Sallie and Tom settled on a farm six miles southwest of Chelsea. In 1890, moved to a new home on the outskirts of Chelsea that they named "Maplewood". Sallie and Tom would have seven children: Clement Mayes McSpadden, born December 20, 1886; May McSpadden, born July 21, 1891; Herbert Thomas McSpadden, born October 1, 1893; Maude Irene McSpadden, born April 5, 1896; Helen McSpadden, born April 11, 1899; Pauline Elizabeth McSpadden, born September 13, 1901; and Maurice Rogers McSpadden, born April 10, 1905.
Sallie had a long career as teacher, church worker, and activist in civic and womens' organizations. A natural leader, well-informed on state and national current events, she served more than 50 years as President of the Womens' Missionary Society. She served more than 50 years as superintendent of the primary department of the Sunday School in the Chelsea Methodist Church, which was established by her father-in-law. She also organized and taught the Madonna Class in that church. She was active in the district and state affairs of the Oklahoma Federation of Womens' Club. She served as National Secretary of Bible Literature for the National Federation of Womens' Clubs. In that capacity, she wrote and staged a Biblical pageant that attracted national attention. An excellent reader and book reviewer, Sallie was a charter member of the Chelsea Delphian Review Club and for many years served as its leader. She was Chairman of the local Red Cross for 16 years and during the First World War, worked long hours in directing in the Red Cross production rooms. She was an honorary member of the Oklahoma Livestock Growers Association. A gifted speaker, she was called upon repeatedly to speak extemporaneously on a multitude of subjects, which she was able to do with the same wit and humor that made her younger brother famous.
McSpadden Park in Chelsea was a gift to the town from Sallie and Tom. In recognition of her countless social and civic contributions, Sallie received many honors. She was matron-of-honor at the program celebrating Oklahoma's Silver Jubilee in 1932. When the Frisco Railway Company put the new Will Rogers passenger train into service in 1936, she was invited to christen the train at a ceremony in Claremore. On April 21, 1938, Sallie turned the first spade of dirt at the groundbreaking for the Will Rogers Memorial in Claremore, Oklahoma. The following year, she unveiled the statue of Will Rogers that was placed in the Capitol Rotunda Hall of Fame in Washington, D.C.
Sallie had a deep Christian faith and set a strong example for her family, her friends, and her community. She loved music and she loved her flowers and her garden and was enthusiastic about all kinds of Indian handwork. She began a movement to revive the art of basket making among the Cherokee people. Intelligent and fearless in stating her opinions on issues, she never tried to force her ideas on other people.
Sallie and Tom's home, Maplewood, burned to the ground on November 24, 1932. They were devastated as they had lived in it for 40 years and had raised their family there. They ultimately constructed a new home on the same site and also named it Maplewood.
In December 1935, Sallie and Tom celebrated their golden wedding anniversary, and 11 months later on November 5, 1936, Tom died in Chelsea, and was buried in the Chelsea Cemetery. Sallie died at her beloved home in Chelsea on August 25, 1943, and was buried in the Chelsea Cemetery.

Tropical Fish Keeping - Aquarium fish care and resources (http://www.tropicalfishkeeping.com/forum.php)
- Beginner Freshwater Aquarium (http://www.tropicalfishkeeping.com/beginner-freshwater-aquarium/)
- - God help me, changing out the top brace of a 125 (http://www.tropicalfishkeeping.com/beginner-freshwater-aquarium/god-help-me-changing-out-top-131080/)
God help me, changing out the top brace of a 125
For reasons unbeknownst to me the top frame member of my 125 cracked through in three places when I was cleaning the joint with acetone in prep for resiliconing, so now I'm faced with the daunting task of replacing it. I think most top braces have the same general design but just in case here's a cross section of mine...
The right side of the frame is 2"
So the question is...how to break that silicone seal, and I honestly don't know the best way to approach it. My only idea so far involves using a long razor to split as much silicone as I can, then possibly dremmeling a cut line all along the very top of the frame directly above the glass pane. After that and a little more dremmeling on the corners, I'd hope some gentle prying from the outside bottom lip would be enough to bend each rail of the frame up and remove it in pieces.
So far the only method of frame removal I've seen suggested using piano wire to saw the silicone out. Not sure how well that would work.
Anybody done this job before? I'm all ears.
Contact the manufacturer for the best approach to removing it. If you have difficulty in your search, then contact the dealer for the information.

Footsteps of Yesterday
At the dawn of the twentieth century life was hard. Grinding poverty was the common lot, and the epic battle between Labor and Capital was just beginning. This compelling book takes us back to that era, tracing the struggles of Margaret and John Conway.
John is a driven man, one of the original union organizers. He is prepared to sacrifice everything, including his own family, to his goal of fair treatment for the steelworkers. He is a leader in the fight against the "Robber Barons" of the steel industry of the day. Margaret is the one who has to pick up the pieces and struggle against great odds to hold her family together. We follow them through good times and bad, as they achieve their goals, but at great personal cost. Their story exemplifies the grit and the determination of the unsung heroes who built modern America.

Harrison Murray duo overcome nerves and injury to complete half marathon
WELL done to Harrison Murray pair Sharon Clark and George Cupac who overcame their own individual hurdles to complete the Leicester Half Marathon.
For Leicester-based administrator Sharon and valuer George, it was the first time either had taken part in an event on this scale.
Overcoming a foot injury sustained on holiday just four weeks before the race, Sharon beat her own target to complete the race in 2 hours and 37 minutes – raising £320 for Cancer Research.
Sharon joined a running club several years ago, and her first event was a local Race for Life. She said: "In a moment of madness I went on-line and signed up for the half marathon and then regretted it immediately after - wondering what I was letting myself in for.
"But with the support of my running club and some very dedicated training I was soon up to 10 miles and was beginning to think this thing might actually be possible. I set myself a target of completing it within 2hrs 45mins."
Despite running with an injured and painful foot, Sharon is now recovering and already looking forward to next year's event.
George added: "This all started out as joke, male bragging rights, and then my wife entered me into it. With seven months to go, and never having run more than a yard, this was going to be an embarrassing disaster in the making.
"Well with shin splints, lack of breath, sweat and more sweat later, it did get easier and, the next thing I knew, the first mile was possible without physically being sick and it went from there.
"On the day of the race I felt more nervous than I have for a long time and my only desire was to finish – which I did in 2 hours and 30 minutes."

I'm riding on a wave of "Dream Team" nostalgia. In June, the documentary chronicling the 1992 team's dominance and effect on how basketball was played around the world made anyone connected to the game yearn for a good old fashioned showdown between national teams. After 66 games of fighting against each other, I want to see our American stars pool together — especially if this is one of the last times NBA stars play in international competition, per David Stern's several recent hints. Mostly, though, it's because try as I might to forget it, the 2002 World Championships and 2004 Olympics changed the games to where every tournament has a fear of failure. You remember, right? In 2002, the U.S. was sixth; in 2004 the bronze medal was the team's ceiling. I'm sure that Mike Krzyzewski has a scouting report ready for each of the 11 other teams who will play in the London Olympics that start late this month, but just in case I ranked each team by its potential to upset the U.S.
The criteria — FIBA rank, intangibles (ex: is Pau Gasol having a good day or a bad day?), player to watch — all coalesces into an unscientific metric I'll call the Argentina Meter, with 1 being the best chance, and 11 the worst. Argentina was the first to beat a U.S. team comprised of professionals back in 2002 and probably caused USA Hoops boss Jerry Colangelo nightmares for several years after.
*** *** ***
FIBA rank: 75
How it got here: Host country's privilege.
Argentina Meter: 11
It's the first time sine 1948 the Brits are fielding a team, which is just as sad as when Greece threw together a baseball team in 2000 out of castoff college players and Kevin Youkilis. This team is statistically worse than Sri Lanka, Macedonia and the Virgin Islands. A Virgin Islands team without Tim Duncan. Ben Gordon and Byron Mullens said "eh, no thanks" to his own nation in its own Olympics, and if you can think of a less patriotic thing to do — especially when there's not exactly a line of NBA players waiting to play behind you like the U.S. — I'd like to hear it. We apologize in advance for Luol Deng, who's going to look bad as the Empire's only NBA player.Subscribe to UPROXX
FIBA rank: 38
How it got here: Via the FIBA Africa Championship.
Argentina Meter: 10
There's a dearth of highlights online of Tunisia's basketball standard bearers, but Coach K will have an easy time watching their celebration strategies (good at dancing, singing needs a little work) but it wouldn't matter, anyway, if they didn't have a single clip of film. The African Championship winners are led by Macram Ben Romdhane, a 23-year-old 6-8 forward who plays club ball in Tunisia. They did win a FIBA championship, which is why they're above Britain. However, I have this nagging feeling that's just not going to cut it against the Americans.
FIBA rank: 8
How it got here: Via Eurobasket tournament.
Argentina Meter: 9
Les Bleus are not going to be healthy enough to hang with an American team, not without Joakim Noah (hurt and out) or Tony Parker (recovering cornea and bruised ego from bar fight collateral damage) being either out or not 100 percent. Nicolas Batum will be a nice add, but how much has he been working out with France while he navigated his back-and-forth negotiations with Portland and Minnesota? Every piece of team harmony will need to fire right to beat the U.S., which France opens with. Bonjour, beatdown.
Here's a France highlight video set to Macklemore.
FIBA rank: 10
How it got here: Via FIBA's Asia Championship.
Argentina Meter: 8
The Asian champions won't be in the American's Group A, but beating them in knockout play isn't going to happen. Yi Jianlian and Wang Zhizhi are castoff big men who wilted before in front of NBA competition; who says it will change now? They beat an inferior Jordan team to reach the Olympics but won't be able to hang in London.

Today's closing was not great. It looked in the morning that it would be another flat day for the market, however, towards the end, the market started coming off quite a bit
Udayan Mukherjee (more)
Consulting Editor, CNBC-TV18 |
The breadth was also not special today. There were more declining names compared to advancing stocks. So, the broader market has not performed well either.
A lot of large cap names disappointed today, like Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL), Indian Tobacco Company (ITC), Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Tata Steel. They all looked quite weak. Hero Motors and Bajaj Auto also had poor performance today.
In the last 30 minutes, there was a report that the Oil Ministry is considering the large industrial consumers or buyers paying market rates for diesel. That news development saw oil marketing companies (OMCs), like Indian Oil Corporation (IOC), Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL) and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL) move up quite sharply.
On the other hand, cement companies like Ambuja, UltraTech and Associated Cement Companies (ACC) corrected quite a bit because they would have to pay much higher rates for diesel if that were to come through.
On the winning side it's Tata Motors that stood out like a lone star, there was a 4-5 percent rally in that stock today alongwith a series of upgrades on their international business.
On the mid-caps, there were a couple of disasters like Arshiya International which plunged despite comments from the management on the contrary. The market reacted to reports of corporate misgovernance.
Kingfisher had a bad day, Renuka, Reliance Communications (RCom), Bhushan Steel and Pipavav where other names which did not do very well at all.
Towards the end of the session, there was also news that the passenger fares across categories would go up for railway fares after nearly a decade. That led to some kind of knee-jerk reaction in names like Kalindee rail and Texmaco.
Suzlon, GVK and Punj Llyod from the infrastructure related space did well. Dish TV had a good day and stocks like SKS Micro, HDIL and Kolte-Patil were also up today. However, it was a slightly disappointing session closing below 6000.

Aspergillus fumigatus is a serious medical menace and ranks as the most severe filamentous mold causing human disease with 60% overall reported fatality. The increasing population of susceptible immunocompromised individuals coupled with the rising incidence of antifungal resistant fungal isolates underscore the need for new diagnostic and therapeutic modalities. Identification of fungal and host molecules suitable for diagnostic or therapy development is the major goal of this proposal. Compiling data from genomic studies of A. fumigatus/host interactions, we have uncovered 30 A. fumigatus transcription factors (TFs) critical for the two fungal morphologies important in disease development: spores required for initial infection and hyphae, the form of the fungus growing invasively in vivo.
Aim 1 thus focuses on identification of spore armaments and fungal/host crosstalk in initial host encounters mediated by spore specific TFs.
Aim 2 characterizes the fungal TFs and host molecules enabling invasive hyphal growth in vivo. Simultaneously to Aims 1 and 2, Aim 3 will develop state-of-the-art microfluidic platforms that allow, for the first time, screening of 1000s of A. fumigatus mutants for invasive growth properties and host activation of A. fumigatus virulence proteins. This latter aim is critical for the Aspergillus research community due to the relative ease of generating A. fumigatus mutants and the pipeline availability of a complete A. fumigatus genome knockout library (10,000 genes);screening of this many mutants renders animal studies a major roadblock in assessment of A. fumigatus virulence factors. Indeed, the study of Aspergillus host interactions has been limited by the lack of available robust platforms that (i) enable visualization of intimate fungal/host interactions, (ii) allow for rapid assessment of virulence traits or (iii) evaluate the role of fungal and host signaling molecules that are difficult to obtain in large enough quantities for macrostudies.
Aim 3 will provide these platforms to help the research community meet the needs of the Aspergillus genomic era.
Aspergillus fumigatus is a serious medical menace and ranks as the most severe filamentous mold causing human disease associated with unacceptably high mortality. The worldwide frequency and the profile of patients at risk for invasive aspergillosis (IA) continues to expand, owing to increased numbers of immunocompromised patients including those afflicted with HIV/AIDS, malignancy, leukemia and organ dysfunction. This fungus can cause additional morbidity associated with sinusitis, asthma, and allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis in non-immunosuppressed people.

Dave Lindorff: Iraq (and Iran) Rag
By Dave Lindorff
To the tune of "Fixin' to Die Rag" (Words by Dave Lindorff, with apologies to Country Joe MacDonald)
Come on all you fine women and men
Uncle Sam needs your help again
Bush has put us in a big train wreck
Off in a place they call Iraq
So forget that job and pick up your gun
We're gonna have a whole lot of fun.
Stephen Crockett: Republicans Should Sex-Up Ideas Instead of Candidates
by Stephen Crockett
The sudden rise of Fred Thompson as a leading Republican candidate for president shows that the Republican leadership still does not understand their impending implosion as a national political party. Thompson is a "sex-up" version of a failed product. With Thompson, voters are getting the same old package of ideologies and policies that have been total disasters for the vast majority of Americans with new wrappings. Fred Thompson is much more "Bush-lite" than the second coming of Ronald Reagan.
Larry Beinhart: The 'Mysteries' of Bushenomics
by Larry Beinhart
Supposedly we are in a sustained economic recovery and have been since 2002. Part of this is Bush hot air and the Republican Noise Machine, which the media quotes verbatim. By a certain measure, however, it's real.
Linda Milazzo: CNN, If You Confront The Chickenhawks In Your Debates, Mitt Has Some Fielding To Do!
by Linda Milazzo
At the end of CNN's morbidly titled "This Week At War," host Tom Foreman dramatized the importance of the 2008 Presidential election by deeming it a war-time election. He beseeched viewers to watch CNN's Presidential debates: the Democrats aired June 3 and the Republicans will follow on June 5.

Paging Sergeant Joe Friday, Paging Sergeant Friday. Please Report to the Democrats on Capitol Hill. They Need You Badly
The Democrats on Capitol Hill sure do need Sergeant Joe Friday to help them out.
You see, the D.C. Dems, especially now that they are "investigating" the Bush Administration, keep tripping over dead bodies – while doing their damned best to convince themselves that they just stumbled over a rug, not a corpse.

Bush Getting Bored with Middle East; Trying to Restart Cold War with Russia
Evidently not content with turning the entire Middle East into a crisis zone, President Bush seems intent on provoking a second round of the Cold War before he leaves office. It's gotten so bad that an increasingly Stalinistic Vladimir Putin has started accusing us of provoking an "arms race" and conducting "imperialism" in global affairs.

Portion size
In today's world of 'super' and 'king' size food portions it is easy to lose sight of how much we should actually be eating. The average portion size has increased by a massive 25-50% over the past 30 years!
Even if you are eating a relatively healthy meal, a large portion can exceed your calorie allowance. Portion Distortion is very common but there are some guidelines and tricks you can use to avoid over loading on food.
Growing up with a distorted view of a 'normal' size meal has falsely trained your brain into estimating the amount of food it will take to 'fill you up'. Even just cutting out 15-20% of what you normally serve yourself will help enormously in weight management and your brain will soon make the connection between a smaller meal and feeling full.
Also it's important to be aware that 'low fat' doesn't always mean 'low calorie'. A food can be low in fat but contain a lot of sugar, which would make it high calorie.
• People tend to overeat when they leave a long time between meals. This means you are ravenous by the time you eat and therefore eat way too much. Smaller, more regular meals will avoid this and naturally help portion control.
• Pre-packaged meals usually have guidelines as to how many portions they consist of. Pay attention to these (obviously a meal for two should not be eaten by you alone on a Friday night in front of Friends), but also use your brain. Some of these so-called 'single servings' are still too large. If the meal looks huge, think with your brain, not with your greed and eat less of it.
• Don't be seduced by the 'value' of 'super-size' offers or meal deals. You might feel like you're getting a bargain on a massive drink or meal but you're probably still spending more than you would buying a smaller size, and you simply end up eating or drinking more calories, fat and sugar and this will lead to weight gain.
• If you're the type of person who has to polish off every morsel on their plate make sure you use a smaller plate and don't overload it in the first place. Then you can finish it all off without worrying.
• Fill half of your plate with the healthy stuff like vegetables or salad first, then add the protein (e.g. meat, fish) and finally the starch (e.g. potatoes, pasta) portions.
• Measure out salad dressings, mayonnaise and sauces in spoons – you will use less than if you simply pour them over.
• If you're feeling ravenous then drink a large glass of water with every meal – this is great for your digestion and will also help you to feel full.
• Never eat your meals in front of the TV. Studies have shown that those who don't watch TV whilst eating eat less - so turn the TV off. Focusing on enjoying your meal will help you to stop eating when you are full – distractions will make it less likely that you will notice when you are full.
• When you've finished your meal clear your place immediately. If you continue to sit at the table with excess food in front of you, you will be more tempted to start eating again.

Rowdy just found out that he'll be spending the day with Collin.
(submitted by Jane)
I don't exactly get this picture…
I'm so glad I sent this picture in a couple of years ago. Unfortunately, we lost our sweet Rowdy yesterday after enjoying 14 wonderful years with him. He was the sweetest dog and I'm glad he was able to make a few people smile with this goofy picture. My son, now almost 20, will miss him dearly. Thanks again Awkward Family Pet Photos, for posting this picture.
The boy is so matter of fact about torturing the poor dog. Run Rowdy Run.
Hey! you're right!! I had THAT couch in the 90's, too! What the??!!! …
Did EVERYONE in the 90s own this couch? The most popular couch ever. Oh. And some boy is strangling a dog too. That is awkward! All kids seem to think the neck is the best place to pick up animals. My baby cousin picked up kittens that way. But, eh, they were just kittens. Dime a dozen.
Rowdy looks all choked up about the chance to be with his friend……some friend.
"Hey Rowdy, wanna see who can hold their breath longest?"
Yes, the most awkward thing in this photo is the sofa.
i hope that dog destroyed that overstuffed sofa the minute they left the house and left him alone. Hey, its only fair.

Syntax of Adjuncts by Thomas Ernst
Book DescriptionThis book proposes a theory of the distribution of adverbial adjuncts in a Principles and Parameters framework, claiming that there are few syntactic principles specific to adverbials; rather, for the most part, adverbials adjoin freely to any projection. Adjuncts' possible hierarchical positions are determined by whether they can receive a proper interpretation, according to their selectional (including scope) requirements and general compositional rules, while linear order is determined by hierarchical position along with a system of directionality principles and morphological weight, both of which apply generally to adjuncts and all other syntactic elements. A wide range of adverbial types is analysed; predicational adverbs (such as manner, and modal adverbs), domain expressions like financially, temporal, frequency, duration and focusing adverbials; participant PPs (e.g. locatives and benefactives); resultative and conditional clauses, and others, taken primarily from English, Chinese, French and Italian, with occasional reference to others (such as German and Japanese).

Poor Girl Gourmet: Eat in Style on a Bare Bones Budget by Amy McCoy includes recipes like Roasted Carrots with Thyme; Spicy Carrot Ginger Soup; Roasted Cauliflower; and Roasted Beets with Caramelized Beet Greens and Orange-Walnut Pesto.
Serves 4, $5.00 to $10.00
In my youth, the only time I ate beets was when I decided I needed to lose weight by eating solely beets, hot dogs, and vanilla ice cream. That was an actual diet. I believe it also involved grapes. But those diet beets always came out of a can. I imagine my mother didn't want to bother with roasting up actual, fresh beets if I was going to subscribe to such a gimmicky weight loss tactic. Served me right. Luckily, now that I'm older and oh-so-much wiser, I know that gimmick diets don't work and I also know that beets are delicious roasted, with orange and walnuts, in salads and with chicken. And this dish has all but the chicken—and okay, I am taking liberties by calling parsley "salad." Parsley is not salad, but it is green, and it adds an herbal flavor to this dish that I love. And while we're speaking of dreams, beet greens are a lovely addition to salad, and a wonderful addition to this dish.
Roasted Beets
Orange-Walnut Pesto
Caramelized Beet Greens
1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
2. Now that I am so much wiser than I was in my fad-diet days, I'd like to share a helpful hint with you. It is easiest to cut the beets by putting the now-trimmed top end facedown on the cutting board so that you are working off of a flat—and therefore balanced—surface. Then cut the beet in half, place the new, larger flat side down, and proceed with your quarter-inch slices. As you are cutting, you may find that the beet's round edges may not comply 100 percent with the 1/4-inch measurement. and that's okay. If some pieces are a bit larger than you'd like, simply cut them so that they are approximately 1/4-inch pieces. See, I told you I was wise. Ish.
3. In a large bowl, toss those sliced beets with the orange juice. Add salt and pepper to taste. Transfer the whole lot to a baking dish and cover with aluminum foil. Roast, covered, for 30 minutes, until the beets are softened. Remove the foil and roast for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, until the beets begin to brown slightly. Stir the beets midway through this last cooking stage to keep them dressed in orange juice.
4. While the beets roast, mix the zest, walnuts, parsley, and olive oil together in a small bowl.
5. Now, prepare the beet greens. They come together quickly, and by using them rather than tossing them out or adding them to compost, it's as though you get two vegetables for the price of one. Heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the beet greens and sauté them until they have wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the honey, stir to distribute among the greens, and sauté for an additional 2 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, and add salt and pepper to taste.
6. When it is time to serve—ideally on a plate containing Honey-Balsamic Chicken Thighs (page 65 of the book) or Perfect Roasted Chicken with Spicy Orange Sauce (page 69)—place one-quarter of the greens on each plate. Then place one-quarter of the beets over the greens, and, finally, top each pile of beets and greens with a tablespoon or two of the walnut-orange mixture. Then start thinking how all of these items would work really well in a salad for lunch tomorrow. Yes, yes, they would.
Estimated cost for four: $6.05. A bunch of beets can be yours for $2.49. Beets have two seasons, the early summer and the fall, as they enjoy cooler temperatures for growing. The orange should cost you around 50¢, and, yes, that includes both the juice and the zest. It's another two-for-one bonus produce item, that citrus is. The walnuts were 1/2 cup from a bag containing 4 cups and that cost $8.69, so $1.08. The parsley is half of a store-bought bunch of fresh parsley, and that will cost us $1.00 for the half-bunch. The olive oil was 48¢, and the honey was 50¢. If you'd like to splurge, you could toss 2 tablespoons of crumbled blue cheese into the mix for an added cost of 38¢, at $4.49 for 6 ounces, and approximately 1/2 ounce contained in 2 tablespoons.

In Australia, for instance, a network of regional and national competitions are part of the agricultural show circuit in which pigs, sheep and cattle get as much of a look-in - although not in the same tent. The tasting panels are small, experienced and share a fair degree of unanimity.
The standard of judging is high, and a trophy at national level can be worth millions to the winning company. When Angas Brut, Yalumba's popular sparkling wine, won a gold medal at the Brisbane show, the company took out massive television advertising on the strength of it.
When it comes to judging, however, it must be remembered that wine-tasters are only human, with likes and dislikes, good moods and bad. While quality will usually out, character - a distinctive flavour or a subtle nuance of aroma - may be less likely to get a fair assessment. Fortune favours the bold. Alcohol, sugar and oak are seductive crowd pleasers, although the more experienced the judges, the sooner the obvious will be identified for what it is.
A canny merchant can gear entries to fit the competition. Jasper Morris, of Morris & Verdin, entered 19 wines in this year's International Wine Challenge; all of them received medals or commendations. He says: 'I chose the wines I expected to do well in this sort of competition. They are exuberant wines.'
The International Wine & Spirit Competition (IWSC) is the showpiece for the competitions that are held largely in English-speaking New World countries. A gold in the IWSC is a pat on the back for the company and its winemaker. But wines from one country, be it Australia or Canada, compete against each other rather than against the rest of the world, so its relevance to the consumer is limited.
Occasionally a result has an impact. When Chiltern Valley's 1986 Old Luxters won a trophy in 1987, it made a number of people (including me) wake up to the potential of English wine.
The International Wine Challenge, run by Wine magazine, makes no bones about its consumer orientation. Its relevance is recognised by the wine trade, which spends a fortune both on samples and on newspaper
What makes a Challenge medal so sought after? According to this year's preamble: 'No other competition is as tough. Just 25 per cent of the entries win medals compared with over 60 per cent for the IWSC.' What else? Medal winners are judged twice. And 'the Challenge judges are the best in the business'.
According to Robert Joseph, one of the principal organisers of the Challenge: 'Yes, we are bullish in saying we're the best, but we don't say we're the only competition. We exist because people who matter in the wine trade believe in us.'
This year the cream of the British wine trade and my humble self assembled in May at London's Chelsea Harbour. Wine was everywhere - 5,300 wines to blind taste - but not a drop to drink. Whereas it is normally my lot to end up on the low-alcohol section or medium Germanic whites, I managed to wangle my way on to some of the better tables once the elimination rounds were over.
First of all were reds from the increasingly popular merlot grape. Three gold medals in the awards announced on Thursday. Was this excessive? If so, we were all equally afflicted by generosity: gold for two New Zealand reds - Matua Valley 1989 and Delegat's Proprietor's Reserve 1990 - and a California merlot, Matanzas Creek 1989. Silvers went to two more Californians: Cuvaison 1989 and Shafer 1989.
Then chardonnay, ubiquitous, ever-popular chardonnay. Mostly New World chardonnay at first; the exuberant stuff. Gold to New Zealand's stunning 1990 Waipara Springs and a clutch of silver medals. To raised eyebrows, the highest of which seemed to belong to the store's buyer, Marks & Spencer's 1990 Chablis was awarded a gold at a nearby table.
This was a relief for France because our next table of chardonnays were white burgundies and, with one or two exceptions, offered half the excitement at twice the price. A Puligny Montrachet 1er cru (from Thierry Guyot) did manage a gold, however.
So was this mostly French subtlety overwhelmed by New World fruit? Up to a point, perhaps, although one or two of the burgundies were spoilt by winemaking faults, a feature which seems to apply far more generally to European wines than to those of the New World.
At last it was jackpot time. A table of top-flight bordeaux-style reds was followed by one of firstrate rhones. There were gold medals for Guenoc 1988 Cabernet Sauvignon from California, Parker Estate 1988 Coonawarra First Growth, and, to show there were no hard anti-Bordeaux feelings, Chateau Lascombes 1985. The chateauneufs were the least hard work. There was a gold for Andre Brunel's heady, spicy 1988 Chateauneuf-du-Pape (at Sainsbury's), and a sheaf of silvers, including, from Australia, Charles Malton's 1991 Nine Popes.
The rhone category was particularly strong this year. In all, the rhone-style wines did incredibly well, garnering 22 gold medals compared to three last year. By the end of my stint, I was ready for the low-alcohol section. Well, almost ready.

This picture isn't really awkward… Like someone said, it's probably not supposed to be serious and it's actually very cute.
yes, akward buht very cutte 😉
Awww poor baby. And they wonder why the baby hates kisses when he (she?) gets older!
bahahaha I have seen this so many times, and it makes me laugh every time. Something about squeezing cheeks is just so funny. My sister and i tried to re-create this with our mom instead of a baby, it turned out pretty much the same…very funny. 🙂
That's a cute family photo, nothing awkward about it. 2 young parents kissing their little baby. What's awkward about that? FAIL submission.
Hey, is this The Jack from the next post by chance?
My husband and I took a photo similar to this with our daughter. At that age their cheeks are really squishy!
"Hey Jean, this is the last baby-balloon for me, I'm gettin' a headache!"
(Zombies) Mmm BRAINS! BRAINS! sshhhllllllllkkkk…..
A-BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRBRRRRRRRRRBRRRRRRRRR! (in stereo)
AS an audiophile, I can actually hear it. My GOD how come no one knew how creative this one is!!!
'oooh they are SOO gonna pay for this when I get older'
"Don't eat the baby!"
Is this a blow up baby? If so, why 2 people? Confusing.
I think it's adorable. It's a little funny, but in a cute way.
Just FYI, this is the same family as "The Stepchild" photo…
As a photographer I can say that started out as a good idea LOL….
who can resist baby cheeks??? they are indescribably delicious!! I'm totally with the parents on this one.
By the way – the baby's sweater is too sweet!!
I love this!!! I still love smooshing my babies and they are 8 yrs and 4 yrs! LONG LIVE THE SMOOSH!!
Who could resist?
Best. Family Photo ever!
The poor squashed baby face.
very very so cute!!!!!
Has something come between us?
Dancing cheek to cheek
…to cheek to cheek.
Ooh. That is so funny and adorable.
But the baby does look a little displeased 😉 Probably because they wanted to be seen!
Not awkward. Adorable!
Living proof that kissing causes pregnancy.
Hee heeeeee!
Infant CPR: You're doin' it wrong.
I think the parents meant to take a picture of themselves kissing, and the kid leapt up right as the shutter was going off. "Photobomb!" Nice one, kid.
Baby… the other white meat.
Oh, that was good. LOL!
eet teh babee!
I love you smooshy…
D'awww. Baby may be hugely embarrassed by this later in life, but that's a terribly sweet picture.
Would have been even sweeter if it didn't look like mom & dad went in for the open-mouthed kiss
"That's not how to perform CPR!"
"Love Hurts"
not awkward.
Clearly Photoshopped. 🙂
More adorable than awkward
trying to recreate lady and the tramp, with a baby instead of spaghetti
Maybe if we eat her no one will ever know she existed!!??!
I think it's adorable! I don't think it's meant to be a serious family shot…
I love the look on the baby's face! HAHAHAHAHA
This site is the best. I joined after seeing this on Facebook. So friggin funny!
I LOL'd so hard at this, I know my neighbors had to have heard me. Way to go, kid! Awesome pics at such a young age.
