Mean Betty on Kate Gosselin's New Year Resolution to Find a Man
Everyone's allowed to dream, right kittens?
-Faye Brennan
Happy Hump Day, poppets! New Year's Eve is only two days away, and that means celebs think the world is actually interested in their 2011 resolutions, including Mean Betty's favorite source of amusement, Kate Gosselin. Obviously, the reality show mom hasn't been humped in a long time… and mama wants some lovin'!
A source tells Popeater, "So much of 2010 has been about the children that Kate forgot to look after herself. Now, in the New Year, Kate is determined to start dating again and hopefully find a new man."
Read Mean Betty: Teen Mom Amber Should Get an Emmy, Not Arrested!
Ha! Mean Betty has heard this one before. Don't you remember kittens, when Mean Betty marveled at the possibility of a Kate Gosselin reality dating show? Mean Betty can just see it now – it would be the first show where contestants would be competing to leave instead of stay.
But Mean Betty is upset to hear that Kate's "2011 Man Search" won't be filmed for TV. Popeater's source says, "Any dates that she goes on will be strictly private with no cameras around. It's going to be hard enough to find a man who is willing to take on Kate plus her beautiful eight children; asking someone to do all that on camera is impossible."
You just said a mouthful there, sister… whoever you are. Mean Betty was just about to make that point: who on earth would willingly insert themselves into the mess that is Kate Gosselin's life? Sure, she has a great rack after popping out eight babies (though Mean Betty still questions their authenticity), but she comes with even bigger baggage than those puppies.
Shall we list it all here, pets?

The amazing French film Oceans opens in Melbourne on 26 May. This documentary about the wealth of life in seas was filmed over four years by a global team. MV's Julian Finn and Mark Norman worked with the film crew as scientific consultants for several of the animals filmed. Two of these animals - Nomura's Jellyfish (Nemopilema nomurai) and a blanket octopus (Tremoctopus gracilis) are often found together in the near-surface waters of the open ocean.

Blanket octopuses are so-named because of the membranous webs that the females possess on two of their arms. This is a defence mechanism: a two-metre-long female blanket octopus can use her webs to mislead potential predators about her size and shape. If this doesn't intimidate them, she can also shed off pieces of her web – 'like sheets of toilet paper,' according to Julian – which in turn stretch out into long, tangling filaments.
Detail of the female Tremoctopus web, showing the bands where bits of it can break off as a defence mechanism.Image: Julian FinnSource: Museum Victoria
Another extraordinary thing about blanket octopuses is the size difference (or dimorphism) between males and females. We discussed size dimorphism on the blog recently but here's the most extreme example we know of. In Tremoctopus, the male can be up to forty thousand times smaller than the female by weight!

Now from the miniscule to the massive. Nomura's Jellyfish is one of the largest cnidarians in the word. When these creatures invade Japan's coastal waters, thousands of jellyfish can clog fishing nets, making the nets so heavy that fishing boats have overturned trying to recover them. Oceans includes footage of Julian diving with one so you can see for yourself just how huge they are.

Julian believes that Tremoctopus are able to survive in hostile environment of the open ocean through association with jellyfish, probably feeding on the small fish that live amongst the tentacles and within the bell of giant Nomura's Jellyfish. Male and small female Tremoctopus harvest the stinging tentacles of another variety of jellyfish – the Portuguese Man-of-War (Physalia spp.) – to use for their own defence and/or prey capture, suggesting a long association between two quite different types of animals.

Cravings during pregnancy, your kids would love it too...
Hello everybody,
Is it true that what you are craving for when you were pregnant is more likely what your kids would love?
When I was pregnant with my oldest boy, I loved to eat fish, and now he loves to eat fish.
With my young one, I drank a lot of cold Hershey's chocolate syrup drink all through out my pregnancy. And now, he likes it too.
At some point, it can be true (based on my experience) and now I am seeing it in my kids.
How about anyone else here? Share please.
Thank you.
17th April 2012 10:19 PM #2
I've not heard this before. My son does like to eat cereal which I craved during pregnancy - although maybe he just likes to copy me and eat what I eat!
Has anyone else found this?

Hi Lj.
At least I have one testimony, as you said about your son. But let's see if there are some more who would reply a post and agree with me,

Lhug-Pa wrote:The Dzogchen Community of Chögyal Namkhai Norbu has two public books and two or three public DVD's available on Yantra Yoga (Bairo 'Khrul 'Khor); and one doesn't need Transmission in order to practice Yantra Yoga and have some excellent relative benefits.
It is true that some of the books and DVDs about Yantra Yoga are in the public section of SSI webstore. However, it is necessary for someone to have received in advance, at least, the Guruyoga Transmission from Rinpoche, in order to practice the Pranayamas and the advanced Yantras. Only the preliminary practices are open to all. This I know from Laura Evangelisti during a Yantra Yoga course I followed personally.

The 289-page satire follows Morris Feldstein, a pharmaceutical salesman who gets seduced by a lonely receptionist.
Ewan McGregor spent a few quiet days at home with Morris while the actor was preparing for the role.
Welcome to the life and times of Bird, Shirley Temple, and your great-uncle Morris.
"This sounds crazy," Morris told me in a marathon phone call in October from his secluded home.
To Connolly and Morris, Bulger was a TE, or top-echelon informant, the highest designation in the Bureau for a snitch.
"My name is Morris," said that gentleman to the head steward.
Oh, Morris, my head is all confused, and I think I have been frightened.
And I am sure that you think her beautiful, don't you, Morris?
While she was doing this, Morris came from the kitchen, for the same purpose.
Mr (since Sir Daniel) Morris had shown that the plants could be cleansed by dusting them with a mixture of sulphur and lime.

mid-15c., moreys daunce "Moorish dance," from Flemish mooriske dans, from Old French morois "Moorish, Arab, black," from More "Moor" (see Moor). Unknown why the English dance was called this, unless in reference to fantastic dancing or costumes (cf.

Few effective treatments exist for low amniotic fluid (oligohydramnios).
During pregnancy, amniotic fluid provides a cushion that protects the baby from injury and allows room for growth, movement and development. Amniotic fluid also keeps the umbilical cord from being compressed between the baby and the uterine wall. In addition, the amount of amniotic fluid reflects the baby's urine output — which is an important measure of a baby's well-being.
Various factors can contribute to low amniotic fluid in pregnancy, including:
If you're diagnosed with low amniotic fluid, your health care provider will carefully monitor your pregnancy to help prevent complications. He or she might recommend drinking more fluids — especially if you're dehydrated.
It's possible to temporarily increase the amount of amniotic fluid with a procedure known as amnioinfusion, in which saline is instilled into the amniotic sac. The effect is short-lived, however. In some cases, the safest treatment might be delivery.
During prenatal care, amnioinfusion is usually done only to enhance ultrasound images. In this case, the saline is injected into the amniotic sac through a needle placed in the abdominal wall. Treatment will depend on what's detected through the ultrasound. Amnioinfusion might also be done during labor to relieve pressure on the umbilical cord. In this case, the saline is instilled into the amniotic sac through a catheter placed in the cervix.

S&B Diesel Intake Elbows & Cold Air Kits
S&B Intake Elbows significantly improve the airflow after the intercooler, and cast aluminum elbows increase airflow 55.3% more than stock. The result is cooler, denser air delivering more power and better fuel economy. Elbows feature CNC-tapped NPT ports (to install gauge or power adders) and O-ring seals for leak-free operation. For great "bang-for-the-buck" power gains, combine S&B Intake Elbows with their cold air kit to reduce intake restrictions and increase air velocity for improved performance and less fuel consumption. .

Modeled after oxygen bars found in resorts and spas, this is the personal oxygen bar that increases the concentration of oxygen you breathe by 43%, helping you to achieve a sense of calm to facilitate relaxation. A compressor draws in ambient air and first passes it through two removable, washable filters that remove larger dust particles and impurities. A membrane then isolates oxygen, increasing its total concentration. The concentrated oxygen is then pumped through a tube to a headset—worn either over the head or around the neck—where it gently exits an adjustable outlet near the mouth, allowing you to recline, lie supine, or sit in your favorite comfortable chair as you inhale. It has easy-to-use pushbutton controls that allow you to enjoy 10- to 30-minute sessions, and its built-in speaker plays up to four different ethereal musical patterns to accompany inhalation. After each session, it will automatically purge itself of excess water vapor and heat from the compressor before shutting itself down. Plugs into AC. 15 3/4" H x 11 1/2" W x 5 1/2" D. (11 lbs.)
Lifetime Guarantee
The Personal Oxygen Bar comes with The Hammacher Schlemmer Lifetime Guarantee. If this product ever disappoints you, for any reason, you may return your Hammacher Schlemmer purchase for exchange, credit, or refund.

A must have!!!
By Liora
from Catskill Mountains
Well, I took a chance when I decided to order the oxygen bar. It intrigued me. I thought that the worst that could happen was that it would be ineffective, but that even if it boosted my energy level 20 %, it would be worth it.I used the model for 30 minutes and was surprised and extremely happy with the results. I felt refreshed and my mind felt clear. My advice toothers.......spend the money and buy this item.You won't regret it!!!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great for CHF patients
By Rose Garden Artist
from Boston, MA
This is wonderful for CHF patients who don't yet meet Medicare guidelines for insurance covered O2. You don't have to listen to the ethereal sounds. You can have a silent session. The headset is not adjustable, but should be. When the session ends and the oxygen stops flowing, you may want to immediately remove the headset as seconds later the machine will start to recycle and purge for 1 minute causing sputtering bursts of air and water droplets to come out of mouthpiece. It would be useful to have an attachment to hold the headset on the machine when not in use. This device is used several times in a 24 hour period so rinsing of filters on back will probably be done every two weeks. This is a low maintenance product that is providing a great deal of comfort to this CHF patient. If a portable unit were available, that would also be purchased. I highly recommend this product.

For health

It is not a medical device but if you have low oxygen, but not low enough to get a medicare machine, this will help when you need more "air".

I love it!
By B Morris
from Grass Valley, CA
I love it! I use it before I go to bed and I sleep so much better! I used to wake up with a sore throat from snoring and I don't anymore. It is noisier than I would like and it releases water at the end, which is a good thing, but you have to take it off so it doesn't release water in your nose but I still love it! I wish I could add scents to it so that I could inhale invigorating smells.

excellent effects!

My husband suffers from a chronic, degenerative condition & is in pain 24/7. This is the 1st thing,(other than massage), that gives him a bit of relief. He describes it as a "lift". And it's totally non-toxic!

Solar physicist Richard Canfield will receive the 2013 Hale Prize at the AAS's annual meeting in June in Indianapolis and also at the Solar Physics Division meeting to be held in July at MSU. The award, which consists of a cash prize and medal, honors one scientist per year who has made outstanding contributions over an extended period of time to the field of solar astronomy.
Canfield was officially recognized for his "pioneering work on dynamics and radiation in solar flares and on the origins and implications of magnetic helicity in active regions, as well as his role as a leader and mentor."
MSU solar physicist David McKenzie said Canfield's research into solar flares and electromagnetic fields led to new study areas in the field of solar physics. Canfield led a team that discovered how to predict solar storms, giving astronauts and others more time to prepare for the explosive surge of energy that heads toward Earth and threatens satellites, communication systems and power grids. Canfield also made a "huge impact" on solar astronomy by training young scientists who now work at such prestigious institutions as Harvard University, NASA and the University of California, Berkeley.
"It's very exciting, and it's certainly well deserved," McKenzie said of Canfield's award. "Once we started to think about it, it was really obvious all the contributions Dick has made to the field."
McKenzie and other MSU colleagues nominated Canfield for the Hale Prize, and five solar physicists from around the world signed letters of support. Canfield supervised three of those physicists when they were postdoctoral researchers.
"To me, the Hale Prize is defined by the people who have been given that prize," Canfield said. "There's an absolutely awesome list of those people, and I admire them so strongly for their contributions to the field, for their expertise and intellect."
Canfield is the third MSU scientist to receive the Hale Prize. Loren Acton, who was nominated by Canfield, received one in 2000 for his pioneering, instrumental, and analytical work in soft X-ray observations of the active sun, and for his active and helpful support of research and researchers in this and other areas of solar physics. Eric Priest - a professor at the University of St. Andrews in the United Kingdom, also affiliated with MSU - received his Hale Prize in 2002 for contributing to investigations of the role of the magnetic field in solar activity, and for his tireless advocacy of solar physics in all corners of the world.
Twenty-six people have received the Hale Prize since it was first awarded in 1978. The fourth recipient, Leo Goldberg, offered Canfield his first job in the mid-1950s at the University of Michigan. The Hale Prize - given every other year for the first 20 years and annually since then -- memorializes American solar astronomer George Ellery Hale.
In addition to receiving his award, Canfield will give guest lectures at the meetings where he will receive his prize. Canfield said he plans to discuss magnetic helicity in a way that the general public can understand and solar physicists can enjoy. Magnetic helicity refers to electromagnetic fields on the sun that twist and writhe like an uncoiling garden hose. During solar eruptions, these fields release massive amounts of energy toward Earth, affecting space weather, causing aurora borealis and disrupting communications on Earth. That field of study has matured over the years, going from theoretical discussions to an observable phenomenon that can be measured, Canfield said.
"It's been an intellectually very rich topic," Canfield said.
Canfield, now 75, said he became interested in astronomy while an undergraduate at the University of Michigan. He took an astronomy course as a freshman. The next summer, he got a job at the McMath-Hulbert Solar Observatory, and his career grew from there.
Canfield came to MSU in 1996 as a research professor in the Department of Physics. From 1985 to 1996, he was a tenured professor at the University of Hawaii and astronomer at the Institute for Astronomy. Before that, he worked at the University of California, the Air Force Cambridge Research Laboratory, the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research, the National Center for Atmospheric Research, the University of Colorado, the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, and the University of Michigan.
Canfield's many honors have included a 2010 solar physics conference named for him and dedicated to him. The conference honored Canfield for his contributions to understanding solar flares and coronal mass ejections.

IRVING, Texas -- (BUSINESS WIRE) -- May. 2, 2013 -- CEC Entertainment, Inc. (NYSE: CEC) today announced its financial results for its first quarter, ended March 31, 2013. Total revenues for the first quarter of 2013 increased 3.4%, or $8.5 million, to $255.3 million from $246.8 million for the first quarter of 2012. The increase primarily related to a 1.6% increase in comparable store sales, as well as additional revenue from six net new stores opened since the first quarter of 2012.
Net income for the first quarter ended March 31, 2013, increased to $33.3 million compared to $32.3 million for the first quarter of 2012. Diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of 2013 was$1.90 compared to diluted earnings per share of $1.81 for the first quarter of 2012. We believe that first quarter 2013 diluted earnings per share benefited by $0.04 as a result of our repurchase of 718,816 shares of our common stock since the beginning of the first quarter of 2012 through the end of the first quarter of 2013.
On April 30, 2013, the Company's Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.24 per share. This cash dividend is scheduled to be paid on July 2, 2013 to stockholders of record as ofJune 6, 2013.
The Company also announced that on April 30, 2013, our Board of Directors authorized the purchase of up to an additional $100 million of common stock under its stock repurchase program. With this increase, the Company currently has authorization to purchase approximately $137.0 million of its common stock.
Michael Magusiak, president and chief executive officer, stated, "During the first quarter of 2013, our new value pricing, marketing and operational strategies were fully implemented for the first time. While we recognize that considerable uncertainty remains in the U.S. economy and that consumers continue to experience various financial pressures, we are encouraged by the 1.6% increase in comparable store sales this quarter. We are fully committed to our strategic plan, and to returning capital to our shareholders as evidenced by our recently announced quarterly cash dividend of $0.24 per share and an additional authorization to repurchase $100 million under our stock repurchase plan."
Business Outlook
We are projecting comparable store sales of 1.5% to 2.5% for fiscal 2013 and diluted earnings per share to be in a range of $2.80 to $2.95, including the following assumptions:
» 12-15 new Company-owned stores, including one store relocation;
» Average cheese block prices in the range of $1.75 to $1.85 per pound;
» Depreciation and amortization to remain relatively flat;
» Rent expense to increase approximately 4-5% from the prior year;
» Advertising expense to increase approximately $6 million from the prior year;
» Capital expenditures to range from approximately $82 to $84 million; and
» Payment of four quarterly dividends totaling approximately $17 million.

The Company reports and discusses its operating results using financial measures consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). From time to time in the course of financial presentations, earnings conference calls or otherwise, the Company may disclose certain non-GAAP financial measures such as Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA") and Free Cash Flow. The non-GAAP financial measures presented in this earnings release should not be viewed as alternatives or substitutes for the Company's reported GAAP results.

text: I find just the opposite to be true. Never once during my meals at Per Se have I had to think about anything other than the food or my dining companion. They literally take care of everything else. Unless superior food is distracting to you, I just can't see how EMP is the better choice, especially since my meals at Per Se have been uniformly longer than those at EMP so I have had more time with my friends. I don't believe I said that EMP was the better choice. I depends upon what one seeks. Personally I find that when at Per Se, the food is so outstanding, and the presentation so extraordinary, I pay a tremendous amount of attention to what is on my plate. There are times I actually want it this way. I was recently at La Pergola in Rome, and the experience was similar to that at PS, where the focus was very much on the food and its presentation. I was there with friends from Atlanta & Honolulu and very much enjoyed their company, still the focus was very much on the food. I should add that I'm not suggesting that the focus can't be on food at EMP, it very much can be. But it's easier to see food as "background" to a special gathering while at EMP. That is almost impossible at PS.

Hey everyone,I would like to hear some opinions about Social Networking scripts you guys used and the reason why. I am kind new to this domain but im reading as much as it can to make myself an opinion. Personally i chosed vld personal script which is not realy a social networking script is more like a dating script. Im not very satisfied with this script, it is very expensive and i paid until now about 800$ for commercial licence + new exclusive design and the payment implementation.
m reading as much as it can to make myself an opinion. Personally i chosed vld personal script which is not realy a social networking script is more like a dating script. I
Well i have used boonex and socilaengine, you don't get the results and control you want on these scripts, all these scripts are nightmares, if someone can spend upto $1000-$2000 he can get an awesome custom script generated. My experience with these scripts is bad!
I used iscripts socialware for my social networking. Its really an amazing script at an affordable price. Purely developed in PHP, so even i can do some little modifications to the script. The admin side is more powerful.
how about sharetronix ?it look like a combination of twitter and facebookjust visit sharetronix or maybe status.net
I used a software from datetopia.com - but was a dating script and it was around 4 years ago. The script was good but I just abandoned the business.I didn't start with a social script yet ... this because I did not find ways to make money with such a script.However did take a look on the market and found as an option the script from twitter-script.com. I like the features and price. But did not buy it yet due to the fact: how do I make money with it?
you can go with oxwall social networking script, its very nice. I have tested the script and it works excellent.
Hi. we are using socialengine script and its a very complete social networking script. this script have so many useful plugins too. check it out. socialengine.net also have up a demo for user side and admin side.
Elgg is a good choice as well
Business owners are constantly finding ways to stay ahead of the tough competition that is currently going on online. Hundreds of different methods are being introduced every now and then, from utilizing different search engine optimization techniques and link building to using social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter. There is, however, another option that has captured the interests of many business owners and has been proven to be an effective and affordable method - the use of social networking script.
THanks for this script, i m still testing...
phpFox is a featured full to capacity social networking explanation. Get your communities with features like major social networking websites Facebook and MySpace.
I certainly don't to try develop custom project from the scratch - it is too expensive and long, at the end you will have pure project which costs too much. I'd such experience in the past.I've used dolphin but it looks ugly - not user friendly. I'm developing project on socialengine with various plugins - there are really bunch of available and great plugins for socialengine. Recommend to check SocialEngine plugins, templates, customization - Hire-Experts(using 6 plugins from them), I4US and SocialEngineMods.
Used WordPress + BuddyPress and also Elgg for social networking projects. These free open source scripts have lots of useful plugins and templates ready to use.
Currently my best consideration for social networking is using Joomla + JomSocial. There are a lot of customization options since it's mostly compatible with Joomla extensions like listing tools, seo optimization and newsletter generation.
Until now I only used script for social sites. I tried once a script from datetopia ( dating script ) it worked fine the script and the site ... but I did not make a revenue.So from that point for me it was more efficient to use what it is.If I'm going to go again with a social script ... only with a good business plan.

Schumer seeks review of electric bill increases
Sen. Chuck Schumer says he'd like to see the Federal Trade Commission investigate utilities like National Grid for possible price gouging.
Schumer says it's typical for electric bills to go up during the winter, but he says this year's sky-high increases are more than what might be expected. So far, no one has been accused of any manipulation.
National Grid has said the wholesale price of electricity increased far more than expected because of high demand and that was the reason so many customers saw a 20-25% increase in their bills in March.
National Grid is only allowed to make money on the "delivery" portion of the bill, which is set by state regulators.
A spokesman for National Grid says if Schumer wants to look at everything, that's fine.
Here's a link to the press release from Sen. Schumer

The Future of Us
Reading Level: Grades 7+
When Emma gets a computer for her birthday, her friend Josh gives her a free CD good for 100 hours of AOL time - totally cool, since it's 1996. Emma signs herself up for her very first AOL account, and logs on to the Internet for the first time.
The very first page she goes to is called "Facebook," something Emma has never heard of before, but then again she's never been online before - so she begins to explore the site. What she finds is herself... thirty years in the future - and it's not a pretty one.
Told in alternating chapters between Emma and Josh, The Future of Us explores what can happen when you know your own future - and don't like it.

Families of September 11 is now operating as the For Action Initiative. The web pages on this site are available for informational purposes only. Please visit us at www.foractioninitiative.org.
The staff and Board of Directors of Families of September 11 (FOS11) extends warm wishes to you and your loved ones this holiday season. We hope that we have served you well this past year and look forward to continuing our work together in the New Year. The holidays can be a wonderful as well as challenging time. We hope that you will take the opportunity to connect with family and friends, and take time to care for yourself. Our thoughts are with those lost on 9/11 and the thousands who were impacted that day. We hope that you find strength in yourselves and from those around you who provide positive influences of love and support.
Since the holidays are so connected with family traditions and rituals, many people continue to struggle with reminders that bring them back to their loss and grief. Brian Richardson, LSCW, and FOS11 Staff Member, offers strategies for coping with the holidays in his article, Coping Through the Holidays.
Issues Update
Ground Zero Update
Press Release from Mayor Bloomberg
We understand that the process of memorializing at Ground Zero has been long and difficult, and that we each have personal opinions about this very public structure. We recognize that there may not be comfort or agreement with all the decisions that have been made. With that in mind, FOS11 is committed to providing information, resources and community as we continue on the path of rebuilding.
In response to FOS11 member concerns about both the recent discovery of remains at Ground Zero and the news about newly identified victims from American Airlines Flight 11, we have been in contact with the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner and want to share information we learned from them with you. The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner's explained that there are no new protocols for the recovery of remains. Family members do not have to resubmit DNA and the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner will continue to be the initial point of contact for families. If you have any questions, please contact the OCME's WTC Unit at (212) 447-7884.
FOS11 understands that this news will continue to be unsettling for family members and is in constant contact with the Mayor's Community Assistance Unit (CAU). Please contact us directly at email@example.com if we can be of assistance. Families can also reach CAU directly by contacting Ada Rehnberg-Campos at 212-788-7410 or 212-788-7754 (fax).
EPA to Test Indoor Spaces in Lower Manhattan
If analysis of dust and air samples finds elevated levels of any of four contaminants of concern – asbestos, man-made vitreous fibers such as fiberglass, lead, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons – the contaminants will be cleaned up. Under the program announced today, local residents and owners of commercial or residential buildings closest to Ground Zero will receive priority for testing and cleaning if registration for the program is high. The program is limited to $7 million provided by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The number of residential and commercials spaces that will be addressed under the program will depend upon a number of factors, including the square footage of the units participating.
Registration for the program will begin mid-January and run for two months. For more information , visit http://www.epa.gov/wtc/testandclean or contact the Indoor Air Residential Assistance Program at (212) 637-3435.

Resolve to be Ready in 2007
In a recent national survey conducted by The Ad Council, 91 percent of Americans agreed that taking some simple steps to prepare could help protect themselves and their families in the event of an emergency. However, only 55 percent had taken at least one of the three steps recommended by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Ready Campaign, including getting an emergency supply kit, making a family emergency plan, and being informed about the different types of emergencies that could occur and their appropriate responses.
Therefore, we are encouraging you to visit www.ready.gov or call 1-800-BE-READY to learn how to prepare your families, homes and businesses for all types of emergencies including natural disasters and potential terrorist attacks. Free materials, including family emergency plan templates and sample business continuity plans, are available through these resources. These materials will provide you with tools to make a New Year's resolution that will bring you a peace of mind.

I like alot of the features of Ruby. Some I'm not so crazy about and its usually areas where they tried to copy Perl. One thing I've never been crazy about is monkey patching. It reminds me of the early days when self modifying code was frowned upon. Now it seems as though its being resurrected as the now acceptable monkey patching.
I took the following from the Discourse mailing list. (Full post here: https://meta.discourse.org/t/proposal-for-plugin-architecture-for-discourse/14501 )
Javascript and Ruby are dynamically typed languages. What you call monkey patching - being able to "reopen classes and add more functionality" - are features of those languages. And both frameworks we use on top (Rails and Ember) provide even more, extended features on top like that. Usage of them isn't only encouraged, we even do it in the core all the time. It's not a bug, it actually shows how awesome these languages and frameworks are: We can let everyone write plugins that extend and change every piece of the code without having to provide any explicit hooks. How awesome is that? It's darn awesome!"
Is it now expected that if you are using Ruby that at some point you will learn and embrace monkey patching? Is that now a ruby culture imperative? I've always found it to produced hard-to-maintain code.
I can't speak for the Ruby community, but in the JavaScript community, monkey patching the built-in prototypes is typically a no-no. It shouldn't be that big of a leap to realize that we shouldn't monkey patch our own objects either, and for the same reasons, because it's better when an object's behavior stays consistent. The worst is when library X and library Y both try to monkey patch the same object in incompatible ways.
Monkey patching is both very handy and very dangerous. It's handy because, "We can let everyone ... change every piece of the code." And it's dangerous because, "We can let everyone ... change every piece of the code."
All the effort we put in with things like scopes and namespaces and DI to make sure our code plays nicely within its own little sandbox, and monkey patching just brazenly reaches into the global environment and changes things willy nilly.
Thank you and interesting comment Jeff. Your javascript comment is relevant as the UI of Discourse is primarily Javascript and EmberJS. I did a quick Google of Javascript and monkey patching and see it is possible with extend but is interesting that it is discouraged as a normal practice.
The whole thread about let's do the Discourse plugin architecture as a monkey patch rather than as an official plugin API amazes me. Even more amazing is that it seems to have the support of the core development team. It reminds me of phpBB plugin architecture with its self modifying code.
Monkey patching in Ruby is not mandatory, but in my opinion is more prevalent than it should be.
It's not frowned upon nearly as much as in JavaScript and, used wisely, can even be a useful technique (e.g. for implementing a temporary, critical hotfix).
However, as it is so easy to open up a class and change it at run-time, lots of people started using it as a viable way to add add random methods to the core classes. This is bad in my opinion and its proliferation provoked some degree of backlash: Monkeypatching is Destroying Ruby.
Nonetheless, opinion remained divided and Ruby 2.0 even shipped with refinements, an experimental feature that aims to change the way monkey patching is performed. Refinements allow developers to change built-in methods without affecting other code that uses them.
You might also find this interesting: http://blog.codinghorror.com/monkeypatching-for-humans/
Sure, adding methods to the standard objects like Object or Date is frowned upon but apart from those couple of exceptions dynamically changing objects / functions is a very core part of javascript and isn't frowned upon at all. Being able to extend or mixin methods from different objects is a very common practice in Javascript and Ruby, it's where a lot of the power comes from that just isn't possible in more rigid languages like Java. I agree with the author of that quote you posted that metaprogramming is darn awesome!
You, as the author of your programs can write however you wish, you don't have to use every feature if you don't agree with it. That being said I've found learning Ruby has made me a much better programmer on the whole.
I can see people have different opinions about this, some say its useful in some cases, some say its something thats useful whenever we can fit it in to our project.
I guess for me is I am questioning whether it should be the entire plugin architecture. I understand that monkey patching offers maximum versatility but the same argument could be made for phpBB's source code modifying plugin architecture.
Yes, I understand that you can use Ruby without monkey patching but what I am wondering if the chief reason developers reach for ruby is there love for monkey patching.
Monkey patching is useful like global variables are useful.
Code can be modified from anywhere... check.Behavior in one part of a program varies wildly based on hard to identify operations in another part of the program... check.Any part of the program may depend on it... check.Two or more modules may cause a collision (that is, they may modify the same code in mutually incompatible ways)... check.
To reinforce my last point, this article has a decent list of why global variables are bad. Such as...
Non-locality -- Source code is easiest to understand when the scope of its individual elements are limited.No Access Control or Constraint Checking -- A global variable can be get or set by any part of the program.Implicit coupling.Namespace pollution.Testing and Confinement - source that utilizes globals is somewhat more difficult to test.
Monkey patching also suffers from all of these.

if that can't be done.i have d-link dwl-2100 ap it acts as repeater also but thing is that you should put the root wep. i need to crack the root acess point wep.using my acess point as repeater then seat near my acess point with dongle connected to laptop.(the root acess point is mine) i have to do that.i wanna do this for eductianal perpose only. not for illegeal activites so i'm wondering is there a way to do that? if it works great .
is there a way since d-link have site serveuy ....site serveuy acts like airodump-ng in wifi . i'm trying to find a way to crack wep using the acesspoint since it have site servey (like airodump-ng in wifi)so can that be done?if yes how?if yes give me hints and i will do the rest,since d-link ap-2100 support injection and get good range.all devices are mine i wanna try them on myself to help you guyz latly i will do thread about some new ideas i tested and it work i will do them till i finish some stuff(school).

Right, I've found the problem. It seems that you have to tell openvassd to ensure its source IP addresses matches the local IP addresses used on the networks it's scanning; otherwise it uses the default (wrong) IP address. The command I ended up running was:-
I've changed the corresponding "Start OpenVAS Scanner" menu command (and changed a few other things), and will be keeping an eye out for similar issues in the future. Perhaps someone (me?) ought to write up a How-To for configuring a multi-homed BT configuration.Code:openvassd -S 172.16.2.250,192.168.77.250,192.168.244.250
However, it is still ignoring the configuration file, even if I specify it explicitly via a -c parameter, as it still claims to be running with max_hosts = 20 and max_checks = 4, and doesn't log the list of plugins it runs against the remote host. Any ideas how I can resolve that?

I don't like Gi work but I have been doing BJJ with a gi on for 3 years. Do you not get caught with Gi chokes?
I dont really care if i or they have a GI on or not.
As its more or less the same.
Course sweat and loads of grip on the gi are major players. But its generaly the same.
Gi chokes arnt so bad really. I find pushing on the elbow of the arm thats attacking is a effective counter to 90% of them.
Course Royce showed me differently
Besides Gi chokes are cool to annoy your mates with

no didn't get choked, i find they didn't bother me too much. but then must people were trying them from stupid positions and couldn't get them on right.
the thing i don't like is you can't pul out of subs so easily, you expect your arm to slide out of a triangle or armbar and you're stuck! evil...
i prefer no gi but i suppose gi is quite realistic for street stuff as you'd most likely be wearing a jacket or something.

Watauga County native and internationally celebrated author Tom Robbins caps off another productive year this July 22nd. Happy birthday Tom! Mr. Robbins has recently published 'Tibetan Peach Pie: a True Account of an Imaginative Life,' his eleventh book. Robbins will be visiting ASU in this Fall Semester and will speak this September 11th at 7pm in Rosen Concert Hall.
Thursday, September 11, 7:00 p.m.
Rosen Concert Hall
Presented by: Appalachian State University Libraries and the Library Advisory Board
Tickets: Free
Doors open: 6:30 p.m.
An example of Robbins' writing:
"At birth we are red-faced, round, intense, pure. The crimson fire of universal consciousness burns in us. Gradually, however, we are devoured by our parents, gulped by schools, chewed up by peers, swallowed by social institutions, wolfed by bad habits, and gnawed by age; and by that time we have been digested, cow style, in those six stomachs, we emerge a single disgusting shade of brown. The lesson of the beet, then, is this: hold on to your divine blush, your innate rosy magic, or end up brown. Once you're brown, you'll find that you're blue. As blue as indigo. And you know what that means, Indigo. Indigoing. Indigone." -Tom Robbins, Jitterbug Perfume

With the match on the line, the Tornados refused to go away and stormed back to win set three 25-21.
In set four, again facing a must win to force the fifth and final set, the Tornados controlled the set, holding off the Lions down the stretch for the 25-23 win, which knotted the score up at 2-2.
The Tornados did not falter at all in the fifth in final set, as BC led for most of the set before coming away with the 15-10 set victory and the 3-2 match win.
Junior Chelsey Trojan's double-double (13 kills, 11 digs) highlighted Brevard's comeback. Junior middle hitter Brooke Seaman scored 19 kills for the Tornados. Senior Jami Perry and freshman Chelsea Larsen were in double figures for digs with 19 and 10, respectively. Sophomore libero recorded 15 digs on the night, while junior Cori Emory had nine digs to go along with her four service aces.
The Lions were led by Evie Tafunai's double-double (14 kills, 11 digs). Offensively Lindsay Phillips and Traci Teague each posted 11 kills. Defensively Kelly Koziel recorded an impressive 31 digs. Setter Jessica Britt had 18 assists.
The Tornados will not have long to rest, as Coach Skeffington's squad will return to action tomorrow night, when BC will play host to the SAC leading Wingate University Bulldogs at 7 p.m. at Boshamer Gymnasium.

Payment Agreement - In effect for Spring 2015 Registration
Approximately two weeks before registration starts for every term, a hold will automatically be put on all student accounts that will restrict them from registering until the Payment Agreement is reviewed and accepted by the student. At the same time the hold goes on, the Registrar's office will send out notifications to students with registration information along with a reminder to review all holds on a student's SIS account.
Students will see the "Payment Agreement" hold in the "Holds" section of their SIS Student Center. Drilling into the hold will allow the student to see which term the hold applies to.
To release the hold, students go to the "Finances" section of the SIS Student Center, click on "Payment Agreement" in the dropdown box and select the agreement for the applicable term. This will have to be done every term, so students will also see completed agreements from previous terms if applicable.
When completing the agreement, students are asked to agree to the Electronic Signature, then the Payment Agreement. The agreement also asks for the student's marital status which is a requirement of the Wisconsin Marital Property Act.
Once the student clicks on the button to Accept Term & Conditions, the hold is instantly lifted and they are able to register for classes.
Stop in the Student Billing office with any questions or concerns you may have about your charges, or contact us via email at firstname.lastname@example.com or call us at 920-465-2224.

2014 Tax Filing Season to Open January 31, 2014
Ten Day Delay Results from Government Shutdown
Washington, DC, (January 6, 2014) The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has announced that the 2014 tax return filing season will open on January 31, 2014. The original start date was January 21, 2014 but, due to the government shutdown last October, the start of the filing season has been delayed.
"The new start date allows the IRS time to test and program its tax processing systems," explains Stephen DeFilippis, EA, an enrolled agent in Wheaton, IL. "The IRS has cautioned that it will not process any tax returns before January 31, so there's really no advantage to filing paper returns before this date."
The April 15 filing deadline will remain. As usual, taxpayers who are unable to file by the April 15 deadline can request an automatic extension of time to file by using Form 4868 (which can be filed on paper or electronically). Those looking for help preparing their taxes or filing an extension are encouraged to hire a licensed tax practitioner.
About Enrolled Agents
Enrolled agents (EAs) are America's tax experts. They are the only federally-licensed tax practitioners who specialize in taxation and also have unlimited rights to represent taxpayers before the IRS. While attorneys and certified public accountants are also licensed, only enrolled agents specialize exclusively in taxes. Enrolled agents are required to complete many hours of continuing education each year to ensure they are up-to-date on the constantly changing tax code and must abide by a code of ethics. To locate an enrolled agent in your area, go to the "Find an EA" directory at www.naea.org.
