The only shot the Cowboys have in this game is the fact that they're great against undefeated teams mid-to-late season. Colts, Saints, Packers - knocked off all 3 on their undefeated runs the last few years (07, 09, 10 IIRC). Unfortunately our OL is in shambles, our run game is terrible, our WR's aren't on the same page as the QB, and Romo is making mistakes that have led to a lot of turnovers. Atlanta on the other hand has a fantastic D and a very good offense. If Rob Ryan and the D can slow you down, we might have a shot but my money would be on Atlanta.

You know it's funny as an Eagles fan did something similar last week. I'm sure it's not serious but still I rolled a bit.

No, score isn't serious. However, I do think the Cowboys win. I think they're much better than their record indicates and these ridiculous, often flukey turnovers can't keep happening.

Cowboys are def a fustrating team to watch. I actually like watching them play. They continously shoot themselves their feet tho. They have tremendous talent. I can def see them beating us but I think we def have to come in and play errorless football. If we can slow down Miles Austin and Witten we can be successful. Our Oline has to protect Ryan as Dallas will come after him early and often. We win the battle in the trenches and we win.
ROO to all the Nasty Que Dogs!! I love my Omega Psi Phi!!!

Not sure if this is worthy of its own thread, so ill just post it here...
If our Falcons can make it 3 more wins, and the Bucs lose three more games (along with the saints losing 2 and the panthers losing 1), we clinch the division. It's close and I think the last 4 or so weeks of the season will be battling for a bye and home field advantage for the playoffs, and getting everyone healthy. Not sure what to think about this but I guess we can all be happy

I expect a win with Romo's ability to throw it to the other jersey. That should be the difference maker. The Cowboys will have no running game, and Romo is going to have to pass, and he is going to make mistakes, and Asante at home, in front of primetime tv, will do something special.

The Cowboys are maybe my favorite team to watch play other than our Falcons, obviously. I like watching them play because put their record aside, they may have the most talent from top to bottom as any team in the entire league. I've been a Romo fan from day 1 of him coming into the league, because of his play as well as having ties to Eastern Illinois, which is where Romo went undrafted out of. From their backfield, I love me some DeMarco Murray. Murray has been a guy that I have loved to watch play the game from his days back at Oklahoma. His injury concerns are obviously nothing to take lightly, but the way he plays the game is contagious to watch. He runs the ball with what seems to be reckless abandon, seems as if he is one of those guys that puts out 110% effort on each and every snap because all it takes is one snap to end a career. I respect him for that.
When it comes to their receivers.. I also am a big fan of some of their guys. To start, Jason Witten is a MAN. I love his toughness, as well as his football IQ and natural pass catching abilities. From his days back at Tennessee and onto entering the draft, there hasn't been a TE that I would rather have over Witt (don't get me wrong, I like Gonzo just as much as anyone here, but because of TG's age now Witten would be an upgrade and there aren't many people considered an upgrade to Gonzo). For their WRs.. I've got to start with Dez Bryant. Dez has unbelievable amounts of talent when it comes to the WR position, to go along with his great size and athleticism for the position. Dex is also set apart from others because of his return ability.. he's shown that if you kick to him that you better be aware of the consequences. Even being as big of a fan I am of Dez, it's totally impossible to not mention his off field as well as on the field issues that he has.. and they are most definitely holding him back as a player and being able to grow up and mature. Dez has a terrible attitude, seems to me "me" first instead of "team" first.. which has affected his work ethic.. if he even has one. If Dez can somehow tighten up the screw thats loose somewhere up there.. than there is no reason that Dez couldn't get himself to be considered the best threat at WR in the entire NFL..
When it comes to defense.. DeMarcus Ware is truly a pleasure to be able to watch play football. Ware is IMO the best passrusher that the NFL has currently. Ware will beat you with power, he will beat you with speed, he will beat you with technique, he is someone that you just love watching. On top of all that, he is also a great guy off the field and does tons for the community.
And those are just a couple players on the team, like I said from top to bottom the talent that this Cowboy team has is just ridiculous. They have shown (like last week) that they are easily beatable.. they gave up a bunch of points in that loss to the GMen even though they came back at the end and were almost able to pull off a huge comeback, but when the 'Boys are "on" and playing the way that we all know they are capable of playing.. they could beat any team at any point.. and that's what scares me going into this game even at 7-0. If we don't show up 100% focused and ready to play, this could easily be our first loss of the season.
** quick edit --
I love myself some Jay Ratliff as well.. now that he has been healthy he is slowly but surly starting to look like the Jay Ratliff of old that was simply unblockable with 4 probowl trips and an all-pro. The Cowboys drafting Ratliff in the 7th round was way beyond a steal.. you could say it was robbery. Coming out of Auburn, people considered him as to small to be able to make an impact.. and boy was everyone wrong or what? At 6'4 300 I'm not really sure how that could be considered as undersized.. he seems big enough to me and there are most definitely defensive lineman out there that aren't as big as he is. But at the end of the day.. Ratliff is a guy that we absolutely need to account for, because he is stout against the run and very disruptive when it comes to his passrush. Yeah, we need to hold Big Jay in check. (another local Georgia boy.. from Valdosta. I wish we were able to bring in some more in state/local talent).

You know who is killing it right now?...Chef Raekwon. Twenty years deep and still smashing features with the biggest names in the game, pushing out a new and very anticipated album, Lost Jewelry, and maintaining one of the longest relevant standings... Maybe in the history of Hip Hop. Amazing.
Big shout out to Rae for rocking 9FIVE steadily over the past few months. The sunglasses we've been seeing Raekwon wearing are the Woodgrain Watson with Clear Lens. It's an honor to bless The God.

Common Terms
Services Provided by the Lodging Industry
Business and Occupation (B&O) Tax
Collection of Sales Tax
Payment of Sales/Use Tax on Consumables
Specific Topics to the Hotel Industry
Miscellaneous Items
Other Taxes
Mayflower Decision
Refers to sleeping accommodations.
A guest, resident, or other occupant to whom lodging and other services are furnished under a license to use real property for less than 30 continuous days.
A consumer is any person who uses tangible personal property or receives services defined as retail sales. Tangible personal property or services may be for personal use or for conducting business activities. It is important for sellers to know who the consumer is to correctly collect sales tax.
This tax applies under conditions where a person acquired goods without paying sales tax when sales tax was due. Generally, deferred sales tax applies when someone uses a reseller permit to purchase goods that are used and not resold (without use). When reporting deferred sales tax, place the taxable amount on the use tax line of the excise tax return.
The term "gross amount," which appears at the top of Column One on the excise tax return, is a "catch-all" term for whichever of the following terms is applicable to your business: "gross proceeds of sale," or "gross income of the business." The gross amount includes all consideration received without deductions for the costs of doing business or other expenses.
An independent contractor is usually a person who engages in business activities other than as an employee. Determining whether a person is an independent contractor or an employee is important because independent contractors are subject to the B&O tax (and other business taxes) and employees are not. Various factors determine whether one is an employee or an independent contractor. Generally, independent contractors are entitled to the gross income of the business, are liable for business losses and expenses, file a statement of business income and expenses (Schedule C) for income tax purposes, may employ others, etc.
Persons wishing to register a business with one or more state agencies must complete a Business License Application. Upon submitting a Business License Application, the person receives a Unified Business Identifier (UBI) number. The person then receives a Business License to post at the business location.
A resale certificate is the buyer's written statement that the goods are purchased for resale in the normal course of business without intervening use.The resale certificate was replaced by the reseller permit on January 1, 2010.
Revised Code of Washington (state laws)
Sometimes called a registration, tax, "C," or resale number, the Unified Business Identifier (UBI) number is a nine-digit number used to identify registered businesses. The number is assigned when a person completes a Business License Application to register with or obtain a license from state agencies. The departments of Revenue, Licensing, Employment Security, Labor and Industries, and the Corporations Division of the Secretary of State are among the state agencies participating in the UBI program. In most cases, your UBI number will also be your tax registration number. Spouses who file separately and businesses that have multiple locations are assigned separate tax registration numbers as needed.
Washington Administrative Code (administrative rules)
Generally, hotels provide many services including lodging, telephone access, food
service, vehicle parking, Internet access, faxing, copying, laundry, dry cleaning,
etc. In many cases, the hotel uses third parties to provide some of these services.
However, when the hotel bills the guests for the retail services, it has an obligation
to collect sales tax on all retail charges.
Charges for transient lodging are taxable as retail sales. Transient means any guest,
resident, or other occupant to whom lodging and other services are furnished for less than
one month or less than 30 continuous days, if the rental period does not begin on the first
day of the month.
An occupant remaining in continuous occupancy for 30 days or more is considered a non-transient
upon the thirtieth day. An occupant who contracts in advance and does remain in continuous
occupancy for the initial thirty days will be considered a non-transient from the start of the
occupancy. Charges for non-transient lodging are exempt of tax as a rental of real estate.
The guest, resident, or other occupant purchasing the lodging is a nontransient upon the thirtieth day without regard to a specific lodging unit occupied throughout the continuous thirty-day period. An occupant who contracts in advance and does remain in continuous occupancy for the initial thirty days will be considered a nontransient from the first day of occupancy provided in the contract. WAC 458-20-166.
Many hotels have restaurants on the premises. For hotels with restaurants, please
consult the Department's Restaurant
In addition to the state B&O tax, some Washington cities impose a B&O/public utility
tax. The Department of Revenue does not administer these city taxes. Consequently,
you should contact
each city or town in which you conduct business regarding their specific taxes.
In general, retail sales tax applies to transient lodging charges. The hotel has an obligation
to collect retail sales tax on retail charges even if the hotel is acting as an agent for third
parties with regard to such charges.
The following retail sales to consumers require collection of retail sales tax:
Imposed in King County at a rate of 2.8 percent (7.0 percent in Seattle). Imposed on customers in King County if the lodging business has 60 or more units. Effective August 1, 2015, Hostels with 60 or more units are no longer subject to the convention and trade center tax. For more information, see our Special Notice, King County Tax Change for Hostel Classified Facilities Effective August 1, 2015.
Chapter 35.101 RCW authorizes cities, towns and counties to impose special lodging charges within designated tourism promotion areas for use in promoting tourism.
Currently, Spokane County, Tri-Cities, Yakima County, Liberty Lake, Clark County, Pierce County, and the cities of Centralia and Chehalis impose a Tourism Promotion Area charge. For more information, please refer to our Special Notices for each of these areas:
Hotels and motels sometimes have agreements with local restaurants
(not owned by the hotel) which allow lodgers to purchase meals and have the bill posted to their lodging invoice.
Additionally, lodgers are able to have room service provided by the restaurant and charged to their bill. It is the
responsibility of the hotel or motel to ensure that the proper tax base is used in collecting the tax, i.e. mandatory
gratuities are subject to retail sales tax.
In addition to understanding when to collect Washington's retail sales tax, hotel operators must also understand when they owe sales tax or use tax on their consumer purchases of hotel furnishings and complimentary items provided to guests, etc. On purchases of goods from sellers registered in Washington, sales tax is based on the combined state and local rate for the location where the goods are received. On purchases of goods from sellers that are not registered in Washington, use tax is based on the combined state and local rate for the location where the goods are first used.
Washington Administrative Code 458-20-166 and 458-20-178
For information on restaurants and their tax reporting responsibilities please
consult the Department of Revenue's Restaurant
Tips or gratuities given voluntarily by customers are not subject to tax. However, if the tip or gratuity
is added to the bill and is a mandatory charge for services, the charge becomes part of the selling price
and subject to tax.
One example of a situation in which charges for gratuities are not considered
voluntary is when the amount is agreed upon and the contract document states that
a gratuity "will be added."
References: WAC
458-20-119 and WAC
Pet fees are an additional charge for the room and are taxed in the same manner as the other transient lodging charges. Pet fee charges are therefore subject to retail sales tax and any applicable local taxes on lodging. Also, retailing B&O tax applies.

Persons or businesses that lease or otherwise possess and use publicly-owned real or personal property are subject to the
leasehold excise tax. The tax is imposed in lieu of state and local property tax. Public property is property owned by
the federal government, Washington State, counties, school districts and other municipal corporations.
The amount subject to tax is generally the amount of rent paid to the lessor. Certain expenses and improvements may also be
included in the taxable amount.
Generally, the tax is collected by the public entity leasing property to private lessees. However, lessees of federal property
must report directly to the Department of Revenue.
Reference: For more information regarding leasehold excise tax, contact
the Department's Leasehold Excise Tax section.
The Court of Appeals affirmed the Superior Court and filed a published opinion regarding the application of sales tax when a hotel purchases furnishings and amenities. The Court held that rather than selling such items separately, Mayflower incorporates the costs of these items into the rate it charges for each room. It therefore put these items to an 'intervening use' when it provides those items in its rooms for their guests use.
The court held that Mayflower must pay sales tax each time it purchases furnishings or amenities provided that the hotel uses or consumes the furnishings or amenities in the course of renting rooms to its guests. So long as this proviso is met, it does not matter whether the hotel 'consumes' the item (e.g., soap or shampoo), or 'uses' and then resells the item (e.g., a sofa or bed).
The case affirmed the Department of Revenue's tax treatment with regard to these items. The Department will continue to follow Washington Administrative Code (WAC) 458-20-166 in this regard.

Ventriculoperitoneal shunting is surgery to treat excess cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the brain (hydrocephalus).
This article discusses this type of surgery in children.
Shunt - ventriculoperitoneal; VP shunt; Shunt revision
This procedure is done in the operating room under general anesthesia. It takes about 1 1/2 hours.
An area of hair on the child's head is shaved off. This may be behind the ear, or on the top or back of the head.
The surgeon makes a cut in the shape of a horseshoe (U-shape) behind the ear. Another small surgical cut is made in the child's belly.
A small hole is drilled in the skull. A small thin tube called a catheter is passed into a ventricle of the brain. This can be done with or without a computer as a guide. It can also be done with an endoscope that allows to see inside the ventricle.
Another catheter is placed under the skin behind the ear and moved down the neck and chest, and usually into the belly area. Sometimes, it stops at the chest area. The doctor may make a small cut in the neck to help position it.
A valve (fluid pump) is placed underneath the skin behind the ear. The valve is connected to both catheters. When extra pressure builds up around the brain, the valve opens, and excess fluid drains out of it into the belly or chest area. This helps decrease intracranial pressure.
The valves in newer shunts can be programmed to drain more or less fluid from the brain.
This surgery is done when you have too much cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the brain and spinal cord. This is called hydrocephalus. It causes higher than normal pressure on the brain. It can cause brain damage.
Children may be born with hydrocephalus. It can occur with other birth defects of the spinal column or brain.
Shunt surgery should be done as soon as hydrocephalus is diagnosed.
Risks for any anesthesia are:
Risks for any surgery are:
Possible risks of ventriculoperitoneal shunt placement are:
The shunt may stop working. If this happens, fluid will begin to build up in the brain again.
If the procedure is not an emergency (planned surgery):
Ask your doctor or nurse about eating and drinking before the surgery. The general guidelines are:
Your doctor may ask you to wash your child with a special soap on the morning of the surgery. Rinse well after using this soap.
Your child will need to lie flat for 24 hours the first time a shunt placed. After that your child will be helped to sit up.
The child will probably stay in the hospital for 2-4 days. The health care team will closely monitor your child.
The child will receieve:
Shunt placement is usually successful in reducing pressure in the brain. But if hydrocephalus is related to other conditions, such as spina bifida, brain tumor, meningitis, encephalitis, or hemorrhage, these conditions could affect the prognosis. The severity of hydrocephalus present before surgery will also affect the outcome.
Support groups for families of children with hydrocephalus or spina bifida are available in most areas.
The major complications to watch for are an infected shunt and a blocked shunt.

Mitt Romney's neglect of black Americans failed him at the polls
By Crystal Wright
link to www.washingtonpost.com
Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney delivers his concession speech during his election night rally in Boston. (MIKE SEGAR - REUTERS)
Crystal Wright is an occasional contributor to The Root DC and is the editor of the political site "Conservative Black Chick.".
Today is not a good morning for the GOP. President Obama won a second term. Republicans deserve the shellacking we got because the party of Lincoln is running candidates in 2012 like it's 1860. Old white men just don't cut it anymore and are not reflective of the changing demographics of the country. America is browning up not whitening up, as evidenced by the Census findings that minorities will make up 54 percent of the population by the year 2050.
Americans didn't buy what the Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney was selling because he was the wrong messenger for a growing ethnically diverse population. Whites made up 72 percent of voters in 2012 of which Romney won 60 percent. But appealing to whites only wasn't enough to carry him to the White House. The diminishing importance of the white vote is evidenced by the fact Obama earned 38 percent of the white vote, five points less than he did in 2008, according to the Wall Street Journal and still won re-election.
It's not the message Republicans need to change but the messengers who are selling the part platform. To his credit President Obama did heavy outreach to blacks and Hispanics and it paid off. Obama increased his win of the Hispanic vote from 67 percent to 69 percent in 2012, according to exit polls. According to CNN, black voter turnout in swing states such as Pennsylvania was higher than it was in 2008, and Obama earned over 90 percent of the black vote in this election.
By contrast, Romney gave what amounted to lip service light to the Hispanic outreach. Romney and the RNC spent millions of dollars in advertising to Hispanics, yet he failed to chip away at that voting bloc because people can tell when you don't really care about their vote.
Even more insulting was Romney's refusal to work for the black vote beyond giving an NAACP speech and announcing a Black Leadership Council, which amounted to nothing more than cosmetic wall paper.
A year ago, the RNC hired me to create a black outreach Web site to attract more blacks to the Republican Party. After near completion of the site in the late spring of 2012, Romney and the RNC killed the project, explaining they didn't want to launch the site without putting outreach activities behind it. I agreed and recommended a slate of outreach activities such as town hall meetings at historically black colleges and universities in swing states such as Virginia and North Carolina. The RNC refused to fund any black outreach activities.
With unemployment at nearly 8 percent or above for the past four years, crushing debt and anemic economic growth under President Obama, this election was the Republican presidential nominee's to lose. (No president since Franklin Roosevelt won reelection when unemloyment was at or above 7.8 percent) Mitt Romney spent six years — six years — running for president as a Republican and he lost because he was the wrong candidate who then won the nomination.
After receiving the Republican nomination, Romney then refused to run a 21st century campaign. He stuck with an insular "all (white) boys club" approach to running his campaign and strategy and it showed. From the Etch-A-Sketch comment by his top operative to another cursing out reporters to refusing calls from top Republicans to retool his strategy, Romney was an out-of-touch candidate who deserved what he got but ultimately took supporters down with him. Running against Obama with the media swooning over the president in the background, Romney needed not only to be aggressive but also innovative. He was neither.
I hope Karl Rove and "the Republican establishment" are happy they rammed Romney down conservative's throats. There's a reason he failed to grab the nomination in 2008 and win the election in 2012. Whether Democrat or Republican, Americans want to know where you stand on the issues, moderates don't win elections. But more importantly, what we learned from 2012 is the Republican Party needs to stop talking only to white people. It's not working and won't win the elections of tomorrow.
An example of the party's backward thinking is the fact that the last time I inquired, the RNC doesn't have one black person working in its communications department. Americans aren't stupid. You reap what you sow.

Intriguing object found by the curiosity rover, this time a possible tree stump. This object definitely looks out of place and in my opinion could be the petrified remnants of a Martian tree.
Object is around 3 feet in height, and with numerous discoveries of plant and animal life on mars, it would be logical to assume, that a variety of tree either existed, or still exists on this enigmatic planet.

WATCH: Justin Bieber performs special show for injured fan Kate O'Neill
Listen to Justin Bieber on iHeartRadio
Justin Bieber loves his Beliebers, and one ailing Melbourne fan got special treatment after a car crash nearly ruined her chances of seeing the pop star during his Australian tour.
Kate O'Neill was badly hurt in the serious accident, and when Bieber and his team heard about her plight, they decided to give her an unforgettable experience.
On Wednesday, the teenager - who had fractured her spine, broken her ribs, and sustained other injuries - was taken with 50 of her friends to a private Bieber show.
The singer performed six songs in the intimate acoustic set, asking O'Neill for a kiss on the cheek at one point.
He later posted an Instagram collage of shots from the show, writing, "Me and my girl Kate :) she's so strong."
O'Neill is quoted as saying, "It's just so crazy, I can't believe everything that's happened… It was perfect.

OffBEAT with Delta Rae
Listen to Delta Rae on iHeartRadio
Having their music featured on TV shows like "True Blood," and "Vampire Diaries," performing at festivals like Bonnaroo, and touring all over the country, it is hard to ignore Delta Rae. The tight-knit group of talented musicians (3 of whom are siblings), have made their hometown of Durham proud. Just last year they released their debut album Carry The Fire, and are currently on tour, proving their amazing and raw talent.
Delta Rae stopped by the iHeartRadio studios in New York City recently, where they talked about everything but the music. Find out what the band had to say about being a family, their hometown in Durham, and what makes a Delta Rae party in OffBEAT with Delta Rae below.
Your first question is what makes people a family?
Spending 12 hours in a band with people for days on end. Family are people that you feel comfortable being vulnerable around, and trust. It's a complicated relationship. We were just talking about this the other day [because] blood family is really important and there's a connection there, but you also go through life and you start incorporating in your inner circle, people who are as fundamental. So it's a complicated relationship, but you know when you have it.
What ghosts follow you around?
We actually wrote a song about this. We have a song called "Surrounded," and the chorus is "surrounded by ghosts." One is for the ghosts of the place that you're from and the south has a lot of that. We're all in North Carolina now, [but] we've lived in a lot of different places, [and] that follows you as much as you may want to escape it. It's a part of your interactions with people and a part of where you fit into things. The ghosts of the people that you loved and the ghosts of family. That's where you feel it most common or most often.
What ignites fire?
Passion ignites fire. Regardless of what you're feeling passionate about whether it's two people feeling passionately in love, two people feeling passionately opposed, it can be either. It's also sort of how you define fire. Fire can be something destructive, it can be something that warms you when you're cold. Passion is the spark of two people [that] feel strongly that will ignite a fire. Maybe it's two ideas or two souls, or two consensus, because in war there's fire and it's two different philosophies, or sides you are creating.
How does Durham define you?
Durham defines us in a lot of ways and it's both positive and negative. It's a home ground for a lot of us, and I think that it's been a source of really great tension for us. It's been a place that we encounter some of the ghosts that are a part of our lives. But then also it's been a place that has both really embraced us, and has sort of pushed us at times, and then had some friction. The south is a place where all of the debates that America has ever gone through are still so alive. You have to be who you are and stand up for what you believe in everyday.
Durham is a wonderful place, it's been instrumental in forming this band. It just forged us because when we started the band, it was four singers and we moved into a house in the middle of the woods and it was a fixer upper. So we needed to fix it up together and we fought so much during that time. It was horrible but it was also really great, because we had pride in this thing that we created, and we were also sort of secluded so we could sing whatever we wanted. We could make the music we wanted and not feel like there were people around judging it while we were making it. We could fight with each other as loud as we needed too. It was a haven, it was a safe place to do all that creative work that needed to be done, so we owe a lot to there [Durham].
What disappears when morning comes?
When the morning comes the past sort of disappears in a way. You wake up and it's all still there, but with each new morning you have a chance to build something new. It's such an incredible period. It's in a lot of our songs, because it's so, it's so full of possibilities.
What does life look like after death?
[We] don't know what comes, what life looks like after death. You can sort of only hope and speculate on it but that feels like the most exciting version of what it might be.
What do you want to be forgiven for?
[We] don't want to be forgiven for all the stupid things that we've have done, especially publically because you know then they effect other people. And yet if you didn't do that, you wouldn't be growing. As much as we'd like to be forgiven, you sort of get to those places in life where you realize, like you lose someone close to you, or something devastating happens to someone else, and you're sort of left on the other side of it going "you know I just need to live everything day loving the people who I love as much as I can love them, you know just you know I could lose them, I could be gone and they would never know how much I care about them." So, the only things that we really look back on and feel like we want forgiveness for is when we've done something hurtful. We just want that to be where all of us in the world look at each other and are like, "We're not always perfect, and it's not about forgiveness it's just about acceptance."
What do you carry on from those who came before you?
[Ian, Eric & Brittany] - Super blonde hair. Our family is very musical and we feel like we're carrying the torch in that way. Both of our parents are professional musicians and instructors, so we feel like we're carrying the torch in that way.
Some, well all of what we do is so in extraordinary limit to of our parents and the people who came before them, but our parents are our heroes, and in a lot of ways great story telling is something that we want to carry on from them. They're both incredible story tellers, and funny, and loving, and heroic. They just stand up for what they believe in. Our mom stood up for gay rights in Georgia when we lived there, and it was very tense. We would get death threats on our car. It was risky [but] she did it anyway, and it was the right thing to do. Our dad was the same way in California, people would speed up the road in their cars in this little neighborhood. There are kids on that street, and our dad would jump out in front of the cars and almost kill himself. [He would] get in people's faces and say that's not okay in this neighborhood, not happening here, and it was so cool. They thought Sasquatch was on their car. Both of our parents are just really cool, and we want to carry that on. We want to carry on the courage to do the right thing in the moments when it matters.
What makes a Delta Rae party?
Brunch, mojitos, waffles, caffine, pouched eggs, hash browns. We go to brunch every chance we get. So breakfast food makes a big part of the party. Really really good food, we are serious about what we eat. Everyone invests in their own way. The Delta Rae party is an investment.

Obama Divorce Papers? Donald Trump Claims He's Got 'Em
- Despicable human being Donald Trump announced yesterday he has something "bordering on gigantic" to reveal about President Obama. So let's hear it: Douglass Kass, Trump's fellow talking head on the talk show "Squawkbox," claims on Twitter that Trump has divorce papers between Barack and Michelle Obama. Kass tweeted, "High above the Alps my Gnome [sic] has heard that Donald Trump will announce that he has unearthed divorce papers between the Prez and his wife." It has previously claimed that Michelle Obama considered divorcing Barack in 2000 in the early days of his political career, apparently because he was on the road a lot. But frankly, even if it is/was true, does anyone really care if the Obamas once considered divorcing? They seem pretty in love now. [ONTD, Twitter.com/DougKass]

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Most Americans think jarring economic problems will erupt if lawmakers fail to increase the government's borrowing limit. Yet they're torn over how or even whether to raise it, leaning toward Republican demands that any boost be accompanied by spending cuts.
According to an Associated Press-GfK poll, 53 percent say that if the debt limit is not extended and the U.S. defaults, the country will face a major economic crisis. An additional 27 percent say such a crisis would be somewhat likely, while just 17 percent largely dismiss the prospects of such damage.
Separately, Republican officials said Wednesday that GOP lawmakers may seek a short-term extension of the debt limit, thus avoiding a default as early as next month by the U.S. Treasury while they try to negotiate spending cuts with President Barack Obama over the next few months. "The worst thing for the economy is for this Congress and this administration to do nothing to get our debt and deficits under control," said Rep. Paul Ryan, the party's 2012 vice presidential candidate who is chairman of the House Budget Committee.
The poll's findings echo many economists' warnings that failure to raise the debt ceiling and the resulting, unprecedented federal default would risk wounding the world economy because many interest rates are pegged to the trustworthiness of the U.S. to pay its debts. Obama and many Republicans agree with that, though some GOP lawmakers eager to force Obama to accept spending cuts have downplayed a default's impact.
When asked which political path to follow, 39 percent of poll respondents support the insistence by House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., that deep spending cuts be attached to any measure increasing the debt ceiling. That's more than the 30 percent who back Obama's demand that borrowing authority be raised quickly and not entwined with a bitter fight over trimming the budget.
An additional 21 percent oppose boosting the debt ceiling at all.
The survey was conducted as the two parties gird for a debt-limit battle that is likely to dominate the next two months in the capital. The fight is sure to underscore partisan differences over how to curb federal deficits that have surpassed $1 trillion for four straight years. Obama insists that besides spending cuts there should be more tax increases on the wealthy, which the GOP opposes.
While saying he will refuse to negotiate on the debt ceiling, Obama has said he will bargain separately on finding ways to reduce the annual federal deficit.
Despite the majority in the survey who fear severe economic problems if the debt limit is not raised, in a separate question only about 3 in 10 supported the general idea of increasing the ceiling. Four in 10 opposed it, with the rest expressing neutral feelings.
Democrats were about twice as likely as Republicans to support boosting the borrowing limit, while Republicans were likelier than Democrats by a similar margin to oppose an increase.
The government reached its $16.4 trillion borrowing limit Dec. 31 but has avoided default by using cash from pension and other funds it administers, money that will eventually be replaced. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner has said his ability to use such bookkeeping measures will be exhausted by early March or sooner.

Apple's iPhone Released June 11?
Apple's iPhone Released June 11?
Everyone has been wondering when the highly-anticipated iPhone will actually hit the market since Steve Job's announced it would be available sometime in June. Now it seems the wait is over following a Cingular employee's not so brilliant slip up. According to News.com, Cingular is confirming that the release date will be June 11. Here's more:
A customer service manager at Cingular (we called 800-947-5096 and were transferred to sales) gave us that date late Thursday, but, alas, said he didn't have any additional information beyond that. That date is no coincidence. It's the first day of Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference, scheduled to be held in San Francisco from June 11 through June 15.
Whatever the date you can rest assured I'll be standing in line with my video camera and capturing whatever geekiness ensues.

Looking back we can see not only the smaller grass like
plantings but also a large palm blocking the way.
Don't give up now… keep pressing forward. The ground is now dirt and some mulch, the path is overgrown and yet some of the plants to the side the shield you from the paved pathway have been cut back leaving you vulnerable feeling at times.
It is right about now that you start to question if this was REALLY meant to be open to the public at all. I mean there is no pavement, no railings, no signs of any type and not another soul around.
Full stream ahead! (get it… it's a pun. I told you that the wit was unintentional)

David Gregory to Journalist who broke NSA spying story: 'Why shouldn't you be charged with a crime?'
(Madeleine Morgenstern) NBC "Meet the Press" host David Gregory provoked a furious response from fellow journalist Glenn Greenwald after he asked whether he should be charged with a crime for having "aided and abetted" admitted National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden.
"To the extent that you have aided and abetted Snowden, even in his current movements, why shouldn't you, Mr. Greenwald, be charged with a crime?" Gregory asked Sunday.
The Guardian columnist, who broke the story of the federal government's secret monitoring programs, replied that it was "pretty extraordinary that anybody who would call themselves a journalist would publicly muse about whether or not other journalists should be charged with felonies."
"The assumption in your question, David, is completely without evidence, the idea that I have aided and abetted him in anyway," Greenwald said. "The scandal that arose in Washington before our stories began was about the fact that the Obama administration is trying to criminalize investigative journalism by going through the emails and phone records of AP reporters, accusing a Fox News journalist of the theory you just embraced, being a co-conspirator in felonies for working with sources."
He continued, "if you want to embrace that theory it means that every investigative journalist in the United States who works with their sources who receives classified information is a criminal, and it's precisely those theories and precisely that climate that has become so menacing in the United States."
Gregory responded that "the question of who's a journalist may be up for debate, in regards to what you're doing" and said he was simply asking a question.

Excellent in smoothies, energy bars, and anything you want to turn into sweet succulence. Raw 100% Organic Vegan Gluten Free Dairy Free Soy Free Non-GMO Kosher Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat is the difference between Coconut Butter and Coconut Oil?The difference between the Coconut Butter and the Coconut Oil is actually the fiber content. Coconut Butter is the pureed meat of mature coconuts. It is roughly 60% oil, but it also had the fiber from the meat in it. It is solid at room temperature, a creamy white/beige color and when warmed up is thick and creamy and smooth.Coconut Oil on the other hand has no fiber. The oil has been separated from the meat of the coconut. It is solid at room temperature and translucent. If you see it solid it will look like it has florets or snowflakes in it. When warmed up is becomes liquid and completely clear. It can be used for higher temperature cooking such as sautéing, or frying. I opened up my jar of Coconut Butter and it looks like mold on top? What is it?Your Coconut Butter is perfectly fine to eat. It may have just been subjected to a temperature change. This is not mold....they repeat, this is NOT mold. Coconuts are roughly 60% oil, and that oil likes to separate from the fiber in the Coconut Butter. You will see a layer of translucent oil at the top that looks like snowflakes or florets. You may also see spots of it around the rest of the jar. This is perfectly normal. All you need to do is gently warm the jar (set the jar in the sun or in warm water) and stir the oil back into the butter. What is the shelf life of their nut & seed butters?Shelf life of their delicious nut & seed butters is 14-16 months from date of manufacture. Should I refrigerate after opening a jar?There is really no need to refrigerate. Their butters are shelf stable. In fact if you chill them too much they become hard to use as they will not spread easily. What is the Coconut Butter made from?Artisana Organic Raw Coconut Butter is made from the meat of mature coconuts. they do not add any fillers or preservatives to their butters. Is their raw Tahini made with hulled or unhulled sesame seeds?They use hulled sesame seeds to make their Tahini. Why do they blend Cashews into the Pecan, Walnut and Macadamia nut butters?There are a few reasons they blend Cashews into these three highly acclaimed organic, raw nut butters. Cashews make the Walnut and Pecan butters more creamy and spreadable. Cashews also act as a natural sweetener to temper the natural bitterness of the Walnut and Pecan skins (which they leave in for the health benefit). Where are the coconuts from?They work with small to medium sized cooperative farms in Southeast Asia. Do you soak their nuts before making your nut butters?The short answer is no. Their raw nuts are not soaked prior to crafting them into our tasty, healthy, organic, raw nut butters. Soaking the nuts and seeds adds a lot of water (even after dehydrating) and definitely adds bacteria & moisture - reducing shelf life to just a few days. My child has tree nut allergies, is their Coconut butter safe for them to eat?The answer to your question would largely depend on how severe the allergy is. Less severe allergy = less risk. It is their commitment to isolating and eliminating cross contamination of allergens. Also, know their facility is free of peanuts, soy, gluten and dairy. What are different ways to use their nut & seed butters?Great Question... You can spread on bread or toast instead of using peanut butter. But most of their customers enjoy them in a whole bunch of ways that can really improve the taste, texture and nutrition of many other foods. Try some of these ideas. Spread on bread for a nut butter and jam sandwich Crumble coconut butter on top of popcorn Use cacao butter, coconut oil and coconut butter to make your own skin moisturizer Add a tablespoon to cereal as a morning energy boost Add a tablespoon to yogurt to achieve a wonderfully nutty, deeper flavor and greater texture Add to salad dressings or drizzle over salads Make great satay sauces Add to fruit shakes, ice cream shakes or make date/nut shakes Add to ice cream, make a sundae Add to brownies, cookies, cakes or pies (Pecan pie, walnut brownies, etc.) Make Almond, walnut, or cashew milk by adding to water and blending (We add water to the last bit of nut butter at the bottom of the jar, then add some other ingredients like agave, maybe some maca and then put the lid on and shake it. Then... (you guessed it) drink it up or take it somewhere to go. Artisana's VisionThey are devoted to making unique, superior, organic products.

Technology firm bucks urban relocation trend with largest suburban Chicago lease of 2013.
CHICAGO-– Full-service architecture firm tvsdesign has been selected to design the new headquarters for Zebra Technologies Corporation.
Zebra Technologies, a global leader in products and solutions that extend real-time visibility into business operations, recently announced that it is consolidating its headquarters to a 230,000-sq.-ft. space at 3 Overlook Point in the northern Chicago suburb of Lincolnshire. The deal marks the largest lease in suburban Chicago in 2013, marking a move away from the trend of large office users relocating to the urban centers of major metropolitan areas. tvsdesign will provide full design services for the new headquarters, which Zebra will move into in the first quarter of 2015.
"I am very proud of our longstanding relationship with Zebra Technologies," said Marc Adelman, principal with tvsdesign. "We pride ourselves on providing the information and expertise to help clients make intelligent, long-term decisions."
In just the past five years tvsdesign has completed projects for Zebra Technologies in California, Illinois, Maryland, Missouri, Rhode Island and Malaysia. tvsdesign's Workplace Studio previously developed a new workplace design strategy to help Zebra Technologies with its current and future needs at its present headquarters and help it create new, flexible work spaces for its talent.
"Zebra Technologies recognizes the importance of how a more purposeful work space can help the company accomplish its goals," said Ingrid Christensen, senior associate with tvsdesign. "As Zebra Technologies grows as a company, we've been honored to help it transform its space into the workplace of the future."

What is genital herpes?
Genital herpes is a sexually transmitted disease caused by the herpes simplex viruses (HSV) type 1 and type 2. Most genital herpes is caused by HSV type 2.
Most people have no or minimal symptoms from HSV-1 or HSV-2 infection. When symptoms do occur, they usually appear as one or more blisters on or around the genitals or rectum. The blisters break, leaving ulcers or tender sores that may take up to four weeks to heal. Typically, another outbreak can appear weeks or months later.
Although the infection can stay in the body forever, the number of outbreaks usually decreases over a period of years. You can pass genital herpes to someone else even when you experience no symptoms.
How common is genital herpes?
About 45 million Americans, age 12 and older have genital herpes. Its estimated that up to one million people become infected each year. Genital Herpes (HSV-2) is more common in women than men.
How can I get genital herpes?
Herpes is a virus that can be passed through sexual contact. You can get genital herpes by having sex with someone who has open sores and when someone has no sores. However, herpes is most contagious when a person has open sores. People with herpes should not have sexual activity when sores or other symptoms of herpes are present. HSV-1 can cause genital herpes, but it more commonly causes infections of the mouth and lips or fever blisters. Condoms can lower the chances of getting herpes. Along with condoms, Valtrex ®, a drug used to treat herpes, can help lower the chances of passing the virus during vaginal sex.
What are the symptoms of genital herpes?
The symptoms of genital herpes vary from person to person. Some people have severe symptoms, such as many painful sores, while others have mild symptoms. An initial outbreak of genital herpes usually brings about symptoms within two weeks of having sexual contact with an infected person and can last from two to three weeks. The early symptoms can include:
- An itching or burning feeling in the genital or anal area
- Flu-like symptoms, including fever
- Swollen glands
- Pain in the legs, buttocks, or genital area
- Vaginal discharge
- A feeling of pressure in the area below the stomach

Honda Develops Three New Sport Hybrid Systems

New Honda hybrid systems target three different vehicle types
Honda Motor Company has announced the development of a new Sports Hybrid Intelligent Dual Clutch Drive system. The company has three different version of the Sport Hybrid system to accommodate different vehicle characteristics.
The new one-motor Sport Hybrid Intelligent Dual Clutch Drive system is optimized for small-sized vehicles. Honda has a two-motor hybrid system called the Sport Hybrid Intelligent Multi-Mode Drive that is optimized for medium-sized vehicles. The third Sport Hybrid system is called the Sport Hybrid SH-AWD that features three motors. That last system is optimized for large vehicles and has been tipped for the new
Acura NSX
sports car.
The one-motor system uses a newly developed in-line four-cylinder 1.5-liter Atkinson cycle engine mated with a seven-speed dual clutch transmission. The hybrid system also uses a high-output lithium-ion battery and promises to improve efficiency by over 30% compared to conventional one-motor systems.
2014 Honda Accord Plug-in Hybrid
The two-motor system will be first used in the
2014 Honda Accord Plug-in vehicle
and uses a lockup clutch and lithium-ion battery pack. The system will offer three different profiles depending on the driving situation, including EV Drive for electric only use, Engine Drive for medium to high-speed cruising, and Hybrid Drive for urban driving conditions.
The three-motor system combines a V6 engine and a high-output three-motor electrical system providing acceleration performance equivalent to that of a V-8 engine. The big benefit with this system is that despite the V-8 performance, fuel efficiency is reportedly better than that of an in-line four-cylinder.
Acura NSX Concept
The system will be mated with a 3.5-liter V6 engine and a seven-speed DCT transmission with its own built-in motor. The system uses independent motors for the right and left rear wheels with positive torque applied to the outside wheel and negative torque applied to the inside wheel allowing for independent control of torque distribution. The system is designed to help improve cornering performance – this makes the NSX the perfect application for such technology.

As per MySQL manual:
If the table has a multiple-column index, any leftmost prefix of the index can be used by the optimizer to find rows. For example, if you have a three-column index on (col1, col2, col3), you have indexed search capabilities on (col1), (col1, col2), and (col1, col2, col3).
MySQL cannot use an index if the columns do not form a leftmost prefix of the index. Suppose that you have the SELECT statements shown here:
SELECT * FROM tbl_name WHERE col1=val1;SELECT * FROM tbl_name WHERE col1=val1 AND col2=val2;
SELECT * FROM tbl_name WHERE col2=val2;SELECT * FROM tbl_name WHERE col2=val2 AND col3=val3;
If an index exists on (col1, col2, col3), only the first two queries use the index. The third and fourth queries do involve indexed columns, but (col2) and (col2, col3) are not leftmost prefixes of (col1, col2, col3).
Now, my question is how I should define the indexes if I want to execute the following queries efficiently:
SELECT * FROM tbl_name WHERE col1=val1 AND col2=val2;
SELECT * FROM tbl_name WHERE col1=val1 AND col3=val3;
SELECT * FROM tbl_name WHERE col1=val1 AND col2=val2 AND col3=val3;
An index on (col1, col2, col3) doesn't work with the 2nd query. If instead I would define an index on (col1, col2) and (col1, col3) would that help the 3rd query?
declare on index on (col1,col2,col3), which will be used by the first and third queries
then declare an index on (col1,col3) which will be used by the second
nope, mysql will use only one index per table
ok but what if the situation is somewhat more complicated... Eg there is also a col4 and col5 which is sometimes used in the SELECT statement.
The only thing the queries have in common is that they alway start with
SELECT * FROM tbl_name WHERE col1=val1 AND ...
In the "single column case" (lets imagine col1 doesn't exist) you would just put indexes on col2, col3, col4, and col5, respectively. However, in the multiple column case it seems you cannot extend this reasoning by putting indexes on (col1, col2), (col1, col3), (col1, col4), (col1, col5). But creating an index for all combinations doesn't seem a good idea either.
i believe you understand the situation, yes
not yet actually.
I didn't know that. But then it seems, that what I called the "single column case" can be extended.
Because in the "single column case" [-> col1 doesn't exist, index on (col2), (col3), (col4), (col5)], the following statement only uses one index:
SELECT * FROM tbl_name WHERE col2=val2 AND col5=val5
which is the same in the "multiple column case" [-> index on (col1, col2), (col1, col3), (col1, col4), (col1, col5)]
SELECT * FROM tbl_name WHERE col1=val1 AND col2=val2 AND col5=val5
rblon, do you need all the fields of the table in the results set? If not, specify the fields in the SELECT clause. It will save resources (memory) as you want be grabbing data that is not needed.
For exampleSay each field is approx 1MB (per record)and you have 20 fields in the table, by doing a SELECT star you'll be grabbing 20MB approx (1MB x 20 fields) per record which matchs. But say you only needed 4 fields, by specifying them in the SELECT clause instead of using SELECT * you'll only be grabbing 4MB approx (1MB x 4 fields) per record which matches.
It might also be more efficient to specify all the fields wanted, even if you want them all, which is something that I'll have to test at some point.
SpacePhoenix, I am aware of that. I was just extending an example from the MySQL manual about indexing.
Personally, in that case I would also specify the field names. It makes the program more readable.
once more, regarding this statement:
According to the manual:
If separate single-column indexes exist on col1 and col2, the optimizer will attempt to use the Index Merge optimization (see Section 7.2.6, "Index Merge Optimization")
That suggests MySQL will try to use more than one index per table. But is merging also attempted for multiple column indexes?
i think what you should do is move away from the col1, col2, col3 hypothetical scenario, and actually run some tests using EXPLAIN to see what it actually does
Ok, here we go... I have used the following test program to make two tables (similar to the example we have been discussing):
// Initialize database connection
$con = ...
// Create tables
$sql = "CREATE TABLE single (
col2 INTEGER,
col3 INTEGER,
rowid INTEGER,
INDEX (col2),
INDEX (col3)
) ENGINE=MyISAM";
mysql_query($sql, $con);
$sql = "CREATE TABLE multiple (
col1 INTEGER,
col2 INTEGER,
col3 INTEGER,
rowid INTEGER,
INDEX (col1, col2),
INDEX (col1, col3)
) ENGINE=MyISAM";
mysql_query($sql, $con);
* Table single will have 100,001 rows
* col2 is a random number between 1 and 100
* col3 is a random number between 1 and 20
* Table multiple is a (double) copy of single,
* with col1 of 1 and 2, respectively
$seed = 100;
for ($i = 0; $i <= 100000; $i++) {
$col2 = rand(1, 100);
$col3 = rand(1, 19); // Edit: should have been 20, but 19 used anyway
$sql = "INSERT INTO single
(col2, col3, rowid)
($col2, $col3, $i)";
mysql_query($sql, $con);
$sql = "INSERT INTO multiple
(col1, col2, col3, rowid)
(1, $col2, $col3, $i),
(2, $col2, $col3, $i)";
mysql_query($sql, $con);
Now, the following statements each return (the same) 59 rows
SELECT rowid FROM single WHERE col2=71 AND col3=5;
SELECT rowid FROM multiple WHERE col1=1 AND col2=71 AND col3=5;
I attach a screenshot of the EXPLAIN for both statements.
I see that the first query uses only key. This is col2, which makes sense as that returns the smallest number of rows. However, the EXPLAIN output says 1252 rows, while "SELECT rowid FROM single WHERE col2=71" only returns 1009 rows. Also, I thought for the subquery (col3=5) some kind of index merging would happen, but that doesn't seem to be the case. So I guess, MySQL is going through all 1252 (or 1009) rows.
The second query does use index merging but I am not sure how to further interpret the EXPLAIN output. More specificially, how to read "possible_keys: col1,col1_2"?
Any help would be much appreciated.
you're definitely on the right track to becoming a mysql internals expert, a path i myself have chosen not to go down, so i don't think i can help you further
all i know is that "possible keys" means the indexes that were available to choose from
hmm, that's a shame, but fair enough...

Ok, this is exactly what I'm doing:
1) I Download BackTrack 2 Final in Internet Explorer
2) Using HashCalc, I verify that the MD5 Value is 990940d975f13d8418b0daa175560ae0
3) In Nero 7 Ultra from the StartSmart menu I go to Backup>Burn Image to Disc, then a window open asking what type and I click 'Image, Project, Copy'.
4) After clicking 'Disc Image or Saved Project' from the 'Image, Project, Copy' menu, I select bt2final.iso and insert a blank CD-R disc into my drive.
5) I set the writing speed to the lowest it can go (16x), 'Write Method' is set to 'Track-at-once', 'Determine Maximum Speed' and 'Simulation' are left unchecked while 'Write' is still checked. Number of copies is set to 1, and 'Verify data on disc after burning' is checked.
6) I hit 'Burn' and it burns the disc then checks it.
7) I insert the disc into my other pc that is set up to check the drive for a boot disc.
8) I don't enter any boot parameters and just hit enter.
9) It's doing a lot of stuff...
10) It asks me for some type of something... and I enter vt200 because that's what my dad said to try ???
11) I enter 'root' for the login and 'toor' for the password.
12) I get the message 'Login Incorrect' so I shoot myself in the face...
That's as detailed as I can go right now. Any one know why this isn't working for me?

had 4 letrasets,were nothing special all run out
I use touch markers. Nice color's and easy to rack. good stuff
They're worth it if you got the money to spend on them.
u should rack deco there so easy to get
Distrito Federal
Wow does micheals sell decos usually because I have looked a few times but never seen em, although I do see prismas a lot. If they do, what aisle would they be on? I've seen fabric decos but they aren't even paint markers lol.
they should be around the crafts section, i couldn't find them, then i saw them at the end of the isle
ya they do
Distrito Federal
Okay maybe someone else beat me to them or something when I was there, will have to look again
just ask for them buy like 2 rack like 20
Distrito Federal
I use Elmer's Painter markers.
They come in like 3 or 4 different sizes and a shit load of colors. None to big but perfect for bbooks. You can get them at like Michaels for 3 bucks for one.
But they're much cheaper if you use the five finger discount. I recommend using the discount.
I wud go wit decos but they leak on to tha other page so make sure u have a paper under it.
