Pictures from today at school and at home.
Tomorrow my class is going to take class photo tomorrow and all the girls will dress up like "harajuku" girls. Haha, awesome! Actually, we're not allowed to "dress up" because we have to be "serious" on the picture, but wtf? we don't care. I just hope that they will take the photo so that they don't like say that they can't take the picture because we have different clothes on...

WASHINGTON — Eased out with an $8 million payout provided by an influential Republican fund-raiser, former GOP House majority leader Dick Armey says he has left the conservative Tea Party group FreedomWorks because of an internal split over the group's future direction.
A confidential contract obtained by the Associated Press shows that Armey agreed in September to resign from his role as chairman of Washington-based FreedomWorks in exchange for $8 million in consulting fees paid in annual $400,000 installments. Dated Sept. 24, the contract specifies that Armey would resign his position at both FreedomWorks and its sister organization, the FreedomWorks Foundation, by the end of November.
According to the contract, Armey's consulting fees will be paid by Richard J. Stephenson, a prominent fund-raiser and founder of the Cancer Treatment Centers of America. Stephenson is on the board of directors of FreedomWorks.
Armey's exit comes as a new sign of acrimony in conservative and Republican ranks as the party's bruised leadership struggles with its November electoral losses and uncertainty over how to recast its principles and issues to compete with an ascendant Democratic Party.
Armey confirmed his departure Tuesday, saying that ''my differences with FreedomWorks are a matter of principle.'' Armey said he made the decision to quit FreedomWorks in August, but Stephenson and other board members urged him not to leave until after the election in November. Stephenson did not immediately respond to calls for comment.
Armey would not describe his specific concerns, but he told Mother Jones magazine that the Tea Party group was moving in an unproductive direction. He also indicated dissatisfaction with the election results, in which several GOP candidates supported by FreedomWorks super PAC donations were beaten by Democratic Party rivals.
In an internal Nov. 30 resignation memo published by Mother Jones, Armey told FreedomWorks chief executive Matt Kibbe to remove his ''name, image and signature'' from all the group's materials and Web operations. Kibbe and other FreedomWorks officials were not immediately available for comment.
Armey, who had been with the Tea Party group since its 2004 founding, is a veteran Texas Republican Party political figure who was involved in the GOP's conservative ''Contract with America'' congressional movement in the 1990s. While Armey, 72, was FreedomWorks' cochairman and at first, its public face, Kibbe has been its most active official, appearing at the group's public gatherings.
FreedomWorks flourished after a wave of Tea Party House candidates swept into office in 2010, but despite spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to back favored candidates in November, the group's influence appeared to wane at the polls. Among the GOP losers supported by FreedomWorks in November were Senate candidates Josh Mandel in Ohio, Connie Mack in Florida, and Richard Mourdock in Indiana.
Overall, Tea Party-influenced House legislators fared better in the recent elections, though their ranks thinned. At least 83 of 87 members of the Tea Party-powered House GOP freshman class of 2010 ran for reelection in November. All but 11 of them were returned to office while a 12th, Representative Jeff Landry, Republican of Louisiana, faces an uphill runoff election this month.

Alzheimer's Disease |
Symptoms of Alzheimer's Disease11/25/2002 |
what are the main symptoms of Alzhemier`s disease?
The symptoms of Alzheimer Disease primarily involve changes in thinking and memory, mood, and day-to-day functioning. These symptoms can be caused by a variety of medical conditions. An individual would need to have a complete medical examination before a diagnosis of Alzheimer`s would be considered. I am including two links below that describe in detail the symptoms of AD. The first one lists warning signs and the second one contains some general information that you may find helpful.

text: The initial reports confirming that the Comedy Central host would be taking over David Letterman's show included a disheartening assurance from a CBS exec that Colbert would do The Late Show as himself, not as his bloviating,O'Reilly-esque character. "Terrible news," I thought initially. But two weeks later it seems that it might not be, for several reasons.

AirDog® II is designed to operate at flows and pressures beyond the maximum requirements of the engine. It receives fuel under vacuum from the fuel tank containing entrained air/vapor, particulate contaminates and unknown quantities of water.
The fuel passes through the water separator which removes the large particulate contaminates that could damage or jam the gerotor fuel pump. The fuel, with only entrained air/vapor and tiny particulate contaminates remaining, then enters the fuel pump.
The fuel, now under positive pressure flow, enters the fuel filter. As the fuel passes through the filter media and the remaining particulate contaminates are caught and contained, the entrained air/vapor is also separated. Through the positive fuel air separation features of the patented AirDog® II the separated air/vapor is discharged from the filter and back to the fuel tank through the Primary Air/Vapor Discharge Port.
The fuel passing through the filter media is now free of contaminates and power robbing air/vapor. At pressures and flows able to meet the needs of the engine, it exits the fuel filter through two passageways. First, the fuel for the engine, passes into the fuel pickup tube and on to the engine. Then, the excess fuel not needed by the engine recycles internally through the pressure regulator back to the water separator.

You may call it a gimmick, and even Sony admits that it's not the primary direction of the PlayStation 3. The Dual Shock will still reign as king. After being asked about the motion controller's relevance compared to the Dual Shock and PS Eye, John Koller, Director of Hardware Marketing for Sony responded: It won't be a new Dual Shock. The Dual Shock is the defacto and it always will be. This will be a component that can be used for a variety of games.Indeed, even when we question Koller as to whether or not we could expect a PS3 motion controller bundle at its release, he hedged, explaining that bundling motion with every PS3 "might not make sense."In other words, motion controls may be in the PS3's future, but they aren't the future of the PS3—a somewhat different perspective than Microsoft has of their motion control peripheral, Project Natal.

Get Smart
Movie Review
Maxwell Smart, as his surname indicates, knows his stuff. He earns his keep as a fastidious, detail-oriented surveillance wonk in the employ of the super-secret government espionage agency known as CONTROL. Max is so skilled at aforementioned wonking, in fact, that even after he passes the field agent's exam, his boss, the Chief, informs him that he's too valuable to let go. Max, who's worked steadily toward his dream of becoming a field agent, is crushed. Nevertheless, he dutifully soldiers on.
All that changes, however, when agents from the nefarious super-evil organization known as KAOS somehow infiltrate CONTROL and begin bumping off its undercover operatives. So Max gets called up as Agent 86. He's partnered with Agent 99, a pretty female spy whose identity was the only one not compromised in the breach.
There's a little strain between the two as Max tries to prove his mettle in the field. But through his nerdy know-how and the use of some goofy gadgets, he soon stumbles upon KAOS' dastardly plot.
The problem is, nobody believes him. Agent 99 thinks he might be a double agent. And even Max doubts whether he's got the right stuff to succeed as a super spy.
Max: Don't tell me, the fate of the free world is in my hands?
99: Yes, Max, it's all in your hands.
Max: I asked you not to tell me!
Positive Elements
Once Max gets his dream job, he puts his life on the line to do it well. That includes placing himself in mortal danger to save Agent 99's life. And even though she didn't want to work with the rookie at first, she eventually comes to respect him. Likewise, the Chief recognizes Max's hard work and dedication.
Spiritual Content
Sexual Content
An anonymous person passing a window looks in to see Max attempting to move a heavyset man. From the outsider's perspective, it appears Max and the man are engaged in a sexual activity. The passerby grins before moving on.
CONTROL's receptionist wears a low-cut top. When macho Agent 23 saunters in, he winks and points in her direction, and she pantomimes "catching" that motion and tucks it into her cleavage while winking back. Several women at a party wear cleavage-baring gowns. We catch a quick glimpse of 99 in her bra and panties as she closes a robe. During an athletic escapade, she intentionally rips the lower part of her gown for easier movement, revealing a lot of leg. And as she slowly works her way through a laser-protected area, she catches Max ogling her rear.
When Max gets knocked down on top of 99 during a fight, he pauses there with his hand on her breast. She kisses a thug as a means of escape, and Max comically mirrors the same move later on when he kisses Agent 23. A couple shares romantic kisses. It's revealed that Agent 23 and Agent 99 once had a romantic relationship.
Max makes several jokes alluding to his genitalia. For example, he comments about going "free bird" while wearing boxer shorts. Later, he instructs 99 to get his knife out of his pocket with her foot and then laughs, saying, "That's not my knife." An old woman misconstrues Max's attempt to give her a password as a come-on and suggests that they have sex. Max taunts two prison guards by telling them he'll make both of them his "pretty little girls."
After an action scene, Max turns around in front of a crowd to show that the seat of his pants has been torn away, and his bare backside is exposed. Elsewhere, Max roughly grabs a woman's bottom while dancing with her.
Violent Content
Get Smart's violence is oddly uneven. The movie highlights plenty of slapstick shenanigans designed for laughs. Some of those pratfalls include a cart running over Max's toes, a water-spouting fire hose knocking agents flat and Max getting zinged by lasers as a rat runs around in his clothes.
In other scenes, the slapstick is more wince-inducing. We see guys get papers stapled to their foreheads and others viciously hit in the crotch. And when Max uses his Swiss Army knife's tiny crossbow in a misguided attempt to undo handcuffs, he predictably becomes a human pin cushion. Perhaps a dozen or so miniature crossbow bolts end up embedded in his face and elsewhere.
Beyond that, the filmmakers sometimes create a James Bond-lite atmosphere as Max and 99 punch and dropkick their way through scenes. Thugs get smashed in the face, throat and head. Others are shot in the chest at close range, hit by speeding vehicles and blown up in fiery explosions. At one point Max taunts prison guards, and it appears a comic scene will ensue—until the guards beat Max into a heap on the floor. Another jarringly violent sequence involves Max and 99 battling a seven-foot-tall henchman who knocks them down with a door, tosses them about like rag dolls and then hoists 99 into the air by the throat and punches her full in the face.
Crude or Profane Language
The s-word makes three appearances (once in Russian). We hear a half-dozen uses of "d--n" and a handful each of "h---," "b--ch" and "a--." "Frickin'" stands in for the f-word several times. God's name is misused on four or five occasions (once in Russian). A woman makes an obscene gesture.
Drug and Alcohol Content
Several people consume champagne and mixed drinks at a party. A thug smokes a cigarette.
Other Negative Elements
Max's bladder and an overflowing air-sick bag are the comedic crux of two scenes played for yuks (and yucks). An agent going through a custody battle is told to calm down because, "The kids don't even look like you."
If you're hoping the movie version of Get Smart resembles the 1965-70 TV spy spoof that inspired it, I can unequivocally say, "Sorry about that, Chief."
Steve Carell (who plays Maxwell Smart) and crew tip their hats to the series, tossing in a few of the show's original catchphrases and orchestrating cute cameos for Max's convertible Sunbeam and his shoe phone. But what you've got here is the old "use the title so you can grab fans' interest and then give them something totally different" trick.
That's not always a bad thing. After all, if the movie had strictly tried to imitate the Emmy Award-winning series, it probably would have fallen flat on its face faster than our clueless hero in a jujitsu fight. And I'll give credit where credit is due—Carell's dry, deadpan humor delivers some laugh-out-loud moments.
But that doesn't mean Get Smart got smart.
Mel Brooks, who co-created the original show with comedian Buck Henry, used to say that Maxwell Smart was a blend of James Bond and Inspector Clouseau—a blend that the TV show's star, Don Adams, captured with goofball panache.
But Carell's Max, not to mention the film's creators, apparently had a hard time getting this mix right. One minute we're in the telephone booth elevator on our way to CONTROL headquarters and having kid-friendly fun with a bumbling wannabe agent and his goofy gadgets. The next, we're bombarded with bloody fights, painful-looking crotch-thumpings and explosive death scenes. Likewise, old-school zaniness competes with decidedly new-school sexual innuendo and crude gags.
What we end up with is a remake that can't decide if it wants to spoof or thrill. Mumble or cuss. Goof or gag. This gawky muddle of clashing styles feels awkward at best. And more than once I hoped the young children sitting in front of me at the screening were too busy with their popcorn to notice what was happening onscreen.
So for any parents feeling nostalgic about a childhood favorite and considering carting the kids off to Hollywood's latest reboot, I'll sum things up with one last Maxwell Smart nugget: "They missed it by that much!" *
* Please note that I'm holding my hands waaaaayyyyyyy far apart.

A man accused of fatally shaking two of his infant children in separate angry outbursts was charged Thursday with two counts of first-degree murder.
A 7-month-old baby was brought Wednesday to Northwest Medical Center, where doctors found the boy to have suspicious injuries.
Under questioning, the baby's father, Travis Fox, 24, of Springdale, Arkansas told investigators "that he violently shook the child for an extended amount of time because the child was `fussing,'"police said in a news release.
"He demonstrated the shake and it was violent," the release said.
Authorities said Fox acknowledged that he drank five beers before shaking the baby.
While the baby's death was being investigated, Springdale officers learned that Fox was under investigation for the Sept. 4, 2011, death of another of his children, a 6-month-old boy.
A Washington County sheriff's detective interviewed Fox about the baby's death in 2011.
"Mr. Fox admitted that he shook his 6-month-old son for 30-45 seconds because he was `fussing,'" according to a prosecutor's report. "Mr. Fox said he was angered and tired because he was up for two days without sleep."
The report says Fox told the investigator that he admitted drinking tequila the day of the first death and that he'd tossed the child on a chair.
"Mr. Fox admitted he needs help for his anger," the report said.
It was unclear Thursday whether Fox had an attorney. He was being held without bond at the Washington County Jail.

Children between ages 6 and 10 years make major gains in muscle strength and coordination. Boys and girls are able to compete quite evenly at sports, because muscle development and coordination occur at about the same times for both sexes. Team sports are a good way for children to build both motor skills and friendships.
Most children's basic motor skills, such as kicking, catching, and throwing, continue to improve. Gradually, they become better at more complex activities, such as dancing, shooting a basketball, or playing the piano.
A child's capacity for aerobic exercise increases gradually from ages 6 to 10 but is limited compared with a teen's.

Beginning Jan. 1, consumers ordering mixed drinks in restaurants will be required to pay a sales tax of 8.25 percent. Those drinks are now untaxed. Will the new law affect the number of drinks you order?
Wyman Bess, Carrollton: My comment is two-fold: First, the city and the state need the revenue and the politicians that we elected into office to represent us are being creative in bringing in more revenue. We must keep in mind that once elected they forget who put them in office until it's time for the next election. At that point they are going to have professional writers and speakers instruct them on how they can convince you that them having their hand in your pocket is good for you. If you don't believe me just watch any politician and there will be the ones who are present whose sole purpose is to shake their head yes to every thing he or she tells you. Second, this law sounds like they are trying to accomplish two things. Get more of our money, but create a different term therefore a different explanation so you will feel that the new tax is a blessing. You could get the impression they are trying to cut down on the number of drinks thinking they can sell that because they have created a law to enforce our morals, or the lack thereof. Politicians never learn the fact that they can't legislate morals regardless of how many laws they pass. But, we don't have to worry about that because they will convince us at their campaign speech that they have solved another problem that we didn't know we had.
Sam Courtney, Carrollton: Yes, this will definitely affect my mixed drink consumption at restaurants. This tax is just a way for consumers to pick up the tab that businesses should be paying from their profits. Mixed drinks already are over-priced at a 500 percent markup at least. There are huge profits made that a restaurant will enjoy while they use it to cover costs that their food business incurs. We rarely order mixed drinks as it is for these reasons — we enjoy our cocktails at home where they are affordable. This tax is not justified and everyone should pass on mixed drinks when they go out and enjoy the safe drive home to get non-taxed cocktails.
Dan Kasten, Carrollton: It seems sensible to have everything taxed at the same rate. I can't imagine why a beer should have a different tax rate than a martini. The taxes should be uniform for both customers and businesses.
Carolyn Rutkowski, Carrollton: This change in taxes won't affect me because I rarely drink outside of my home and then only on New Year's Eve. There won't be a big deal made about this because almost all drinkers wouldn't bother to look at their tab that closely.
Charles Walpole, Farmers Branch: 8.25 percent plus 6.7 percent equals 14.95 percent, which is a sizeable increase in overall taxes for mixed-drink consumers. Moreover, restaurants will not likely pass along any of their tax savings to their consumers. This is just a general tax increase on mixed drinks disguised as an effort "to make taxes consistent." Why not just eliminate the 8.25 percent sales tax on beer and wine sales? This would equalize everything, with no increases. The sponsors of this bill must think the mixed-drink consumer is either stupid or apathetic, or both. They could be right.
Jim Dyer, Carrollton: I sure am glad to hear this as I am tired of paying for those deadbeats. Seriously, just kidding as I seldom drink when we go out to eat.
Norman Pickett, Carrollton: Restaurant tax is being reduced from 14 to 6.7, but customer pays 8.25 more. I read this as a 0.95 percent tax increase and an additional administrative burden on the business. Beer and wine are often (and can be) sold by the full container whereas mixed drinks are a mix of small amounts of various ingredients (including what is normally untaxed food items). If the goal is to target visitors who must use bars rather than those of us who have switched to home parties because of the increased cost of going out, then this change just reinforces my choice to do more at home than out in a public business. Otherwise I see this as just a new burden for hindering small business.
Terry Murphy, Addison: This increase will have no affect on my drinking volume.
David Borland, Carrollton: I don't drink beer, wine, or anything stronger than Dr Pepper, so it won't have a drastic effect on my food budget.
Matt Wenthold, Farmers Branch: I don't think this law change will affect alcohol sales in restaurants one way or the other. The taxation of alcohol and tobacco in our country is a combination of puritanical scolding and a government free for all looting of the taxpayer under the cloak of taxing vice. When I was a soldier in Germany you could buy an untaxed cartoon of Marlboro cigarettes for $1.80.

Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Part 2
Treatment of Choice
Parent management training — in which parents learn to change the way they react to their child's behavior — is often highly effective in treating ODD. Between weekly sessions, the parents practice what they've learned from the therapist and report back on their progress.
"It's carrots and sticks," says Brady. "On the carrot end, you work on giving your child praise and rewards for cooperating. On the stick end, you lay out clear consequences for misbehavior."
Keep the following in mind when starting a parent management training program:
1) Accentuate the Positive
Many parents of oppositional children are so focused on bad behaviors that they have trouble reinforcing positive ones. Yet positive reinforcement is the heart and soul of parent management training.
Instead of yelling at or spanking a child for bad behavior, parents are taught to take a different tack. "The parents are asked by the therapist what to do if they want their child to stop screaming, slamming the door, or throwing breakable objects," says Alan Kazdin, Ph.D., in Parent Management Training, a manual for therapists. "The answers involve reinforcing talking quietly, closing the door gently, and handling objects with care and not throwing them."
2) Enthusiasm Counts
Parents should be enthusiastic when praising their ODD child. Specify the praiseworthy behavior and, ideally, include some non-verbal gesture. For example, you might say, "It was wonderful the way you played so quietly while I was on the phone!" and then give your child a kiss.
Tailoring rewards and punishments to your child's specific abilities and needs is important. But consistency in the way you treat your child — the way you set rules and convey expectations — is the key to cleaning up an ODD child's act.
Above all, never lose sight of the fact that oppositional kids have a great deal to offer, once their behavior is under control. They're often bright and engaging, with their own way of looking at the world.
"Once you work through their defiance, there's a lot there to like," says Riley.

Overall Rating
They are great because they over deliver on their products. My husband is ill and so it is hard for us to bring the car in because we only have one driver, so I drove the car in and the receptionist drove me home. It's a very personal, one on one kind of thing. When I went to pick up the car, the guy genuinely asked how my husband was doing and it seems like a very old-school community type of experience where people really know each other and care about each other and care about what the work is.
I have used this outfit for 30 years and I have been very satisfied all of that time.
I am very satisfied with Portola Valley Garage. When anyone in our family has questions about cars we can always call Tom or Tim. They are a very trusted business.
I take all my cars there. They do a great job.
Very friendly and efficient.
I would highly recommend Portola Valley Garage to anyone.
It was extremely fair. They are thorough. They are reasonably priced. They are easy to deal with and to discuss things with and they try to accommodate any requests that you make. They are great guys. I would recommend them to everyone.
I just like them because they are honest. My car is always done on time and they are pleasant to deal with.
They are all very friendly and you don't have to wait long. They do a nice job.
They are the most knowledgeable garage that I have dealt with.
My experience with the garage is that they are always helpful with diagnostic services. They only do the work that is needed and they are always honest.

They've got muck; we've got rakes. TPM Muckraker
RNC Cuts Off Firm Over Voter Registration Fraud Allegations
NBC reported on Thursday that the RNC dropped the firm after a Florida elections official referred more than 100 questionable voter registration forms to investigators.
"We've made it clear we're not doing business with these guys anymore," RNC spokesman Sean Spicer told NBC's Michael Isikoff. "We've come out pretty strong against this kind of stuff — and we have zero tolerance for this."
The firm, NBC reports, is run by GOP consultant Nathan Sproul, who has not responded to TPM's requests for comment. Sproul's other firm, Lincoln Strategy Group, has been paid by Mitt Romney's presidential campaign.
The RNC, which did not immediately respond to TPM's request for comment, paid the firm to register GOP voters in Nevada. In four other states — Florida, North Carolina, Colorado and Virginia — state parties paid the company and were reimbursed by the RNC.

Like everyone else on Twitter, I have been playing a fair amount of FTL lately.
I'm really enjoying the game, the variety of each adventure and discussing the different strategies and builds online. Despite the somewhat randomness of your path, there seems to be enough room to wriggle your way out of even the most desperate situations, creating a satisfying balance between luck and skill.
I haven't been feeling too great lately (It's either the flu or AIDS. It's probably not the AIDS.) so I'm actually kinda pleased that it's been pissing rain for the past 12 hours. Otherwise I would have felt like even more of a useless sack of shit for sitting inside and playing videogames all day. In between deleting spambots and playing Dota (718 hours logged and counting) I decided to boot up FTL for a quick meander through the galaxy.
I tend to pick the starting ship, as I value being able to target manually - an option that is unavailable to the drone-based ship. I named her the SS PAX, with crewmembers Sweep, Matt and Waffle, because reasons. And so off we went.
The first jump was to a distress beacon.
A scientific vessel was having some kind of trouble so I sent my crew over to investigate. Turns out it was some kind of space zombie outbreak that not only immediately infected one of my crew, but as I tried to bring him back onto my ship he turned violent and attacked me, along with several other zombies from the science ship. It was Sweep. I had died after a single jump. Not only had I died, by my animated corpse was now trying to eat Matt and Waffle.
Go figure.
Having killed myself without much trouble and fixed up the minor damage to my ship, I set Matt at the controls, Waffle in the engine room, and we shot off into space. There were a couple of standard pirate/rebel encounters which I won easily, until I reached the exit of Sector 1. The rebels were still far behind and I needed a third crewmember so I decided to search around for a shop, having stacked up some decent scrap. I had previously met a merchant who requested an escort to a further star and, seeing as it was within reach, and that I was due some luck, I shot past the exit to complete the quest.
It was a trap. Waffle died.
So then there was just Matt, with a whole ship all to himself. That was pretty depressing. The one consolation was that I still had a decent stockpile of fuel and missiles, so I could still fight my way out of any trouble that I found. I would just need to be careful. Into Sector 2 I popped.
Into nothing. Two jumps. Three. The fourth through a nebula. Still nothing but eerie silence at every stop. I encountered several ships who requested my assistance but those which I answered would always cause more problems than they solved. My hull strength dropped to 5 or 6 bars, my fuel rapidly depleted. I became jaded, ignoring distress calls, using the last of my scrap to buy miniscule amounts of fuel when I eventually hit a store. On several occasions I would arrive at a store with only 1 fuel remaining, and only enough scrap to buy 2 or 3 to keep me afloat. On top of this, the rebel fleet continued to push me forward further into harsher and more dangerous territories, and without the scrap and equipment that I had failed to find in the first two sectors, I was completely fucked. I knew I was fucked. Even the game seemed to know I was fucked, the music compounding the sense of hopelessness. But what can you do except keep going? So I kept going, limping desperately through space.
Despite the aforementioned fucked situation I remained optimistic.
Something good would happen, the game would throw a couple of friendly encounters my way, or some aliens would take pity and join my crew. I used the last of my fuel to jump to a random star. Not a distress beacon, no store, just a single unassuming dot in the nothingness of space.
It was an asteroid field. A rebel fighter launched itself at me and, setting my weapons to autofire, I dashed around the ship desperately trying to stay on top of the damage caused by the passing rocks. It took a while, but I won. The rebel ship was destroyed. It was only once I had repaired my scanners that I realised that my ship was on fire. I quickly opened the airlocks but it was too late - my life support had been destroyed and the room was ablaze. It was hopeless. I had to put out the fire before I could repair the system, but there wasn't enough oxygen left to let me do so.
Matt died.
It hit me harder than it should have done. There was no malice to it, just complete indifference to the actions I had set into motion, and that was somehow worse. I quit the game and felt slightly hollow. I have played FTL plenty of times and I had never been so entirely screwed over on any of my other attempts. It was sobering to think that, despite my best intentions and supposed skill, I had failed so miserably. I was also vaguely nervous that this streak of bad luck would somehow follow me out of the game and corrupt everything I touched for the rest of the day.
So I did what any sane adult would do: I drank 2 bottles of cider and watched cartoons. You know, Sunday shit. My FTL adventure left a lasting impression though, and it might be a while before I feel like returning for another attempt.
If you haven't played it yet.... well. You should probably go and do that. That game is pretty great.

Riversideâs red-light camera program will get smaller, but itâs not going away, officials said Wednesday, Sept. 12.
It was a twist that caught most City Council members by surprise.
The council voted July 10 to allow 60 days for staff and camera company Redflex Traffic Systems to figure out how to eliminate the programâs sizable deficit, and officials this week said thatâs been done.
They plan to remove 11 of the 29 cameras now in place, which will cut costs because the city pays Redflex a per-camera monthly fee.
Also, city and Caltrans officials have agreed that cameras will remain at the three highest-volume intersections, which Caltrans controls because theyâre near a freeway.
The surprising part is City Manager Scott Barberâs conclusion that continuing the program wonât require another vote by the council. At least three council members said they expected the issue to return for further discussion after a contentious meeting in July that split the council and required the mayor to cast a rare tie-breaking vote.
âOn something like the red light cameras, when over 80 percent of my constituents are against (it) ⦠I think it should be in open session, in front of the entire council,â said Councilman Chris Mac Arthur, who wants to get rid of the program.
Riverside has had red-light cameras since 2006. Earlier this year, there were 30 cameras in place at 21 intersections. A single camera mounted on the border of Riverside and Moreno Valley was recently removed at the latter cityâs request.
City data shows the cameras issued 26,856 tickets in 2011, and the overall number of car accidents â" both at intersections with cameras and citywide â" has dropped since the program started. However, itâs hard to draw conclusions from data from individual intersections, which in several cases showed no change or a slight increase in crashes.
The council voted in November 2011 to renew the program for another five years. But the program has lost an estimated $1.7 million over six years. In June, Public Works Director Tom Boyd recommended axing the program, predicting it could run a $611,000 deficit this fiscal year.
Part of the deficit was due to the loss of cameras at Caltrans-controlled intersections on Arlington Avenue, Tyler Street and 14th Street next to Highway 91. They were out of commission for construction in 2011. Caltrans officials wrote to the city last year saying its permits for the cameras had expired and would not be renewed because the data did not meet their criteria.
Caltrans reversed itself on that issue after meeting with city officials. The agency reviewed its policy and consulted with its attorneys and decided the cameras could stay, Caltrans spokeswoman Terri Kasinga said.
âIn this situation weâve seen a decrease in (red light) violations, so in our opinion weâre not going to stop a program that appears to be in the favor of public safety,â she said.
Boyd said the cityâs contract with Redflex also allows removal of some cameras, so 11 cameras will be taken out âdue to low accident or no accident history in the past three years.â That will cut about $3,851 per camera per month, plus one camera that cost $5,400 monthly.

Mr. Jim Hill
Viruxo LLC
6470 NW 135 Ave
Morriston, Florida 32668
Dear Mr. Hill:
This is to advise you that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) reviewed your website at the Internet address www.viruxo.com in April 2011. FDA has determined that the product "Viruxo Anti-Viral Support" is promoted for conditions that cause the product to be a drug under section 201(g)(1)(B) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act) [21 U.S.C. § 321(g)(1)(B)]. The therapeutic claims on your website establish that the product is a drug because it is intended for use in the cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease. The marketing of the product with these claims violates the Act. Furthermore, your product's labeling fails to bear adequate directions for its intended use, causing the product to be misbranded under section 502(f)(1) of the Act, 21 U.S.C. § 352(f)(1). The introduction of a misbranded drug into interstate commerce is a violation of § 301(a) of the Act, 21 U.S.C. § 331(a).
In addition, it is unlawful under the FTC Act, 15 U.S.C. § 41 et seq., to advertise that a product can prevent, treat, or cure human disease unless you possess competent and reliable scientific evidence, including, when appropriate, well-controlled human clinical studies, substantiating that the claims are true at the time they are made. See FTC v. Direct Mktg. Concepts, 569 F. Supp. 2d 285, 300, 303 (D. Mass. 2008), aff'd, 624 F.3d 1 (1st Cir. 2010); FTC v. Nat'l Urological Group, Inc., 645 F. Supp. 2d 1167, 1190, 1202 (N.D. Ga. 2008), aff'd, 356 Fed. Appx. 358 (11th Cir. 2009); FTC v. Natural Solution, Inc., No. CV 06-6112-JFW, 2007-2 Trade Cas. (CCH) P75,866, 2007 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 60783, at *11-12 (C.D. Cal. Aug. 7, 2007). More generally, to make or exaggerate such claims, whether directly or indirectly, through the use of a product name, website name, metatags, or other means, without rigorous scientific evidence sufficient to substantiate the claims, violates the FTC Act. See In re Daniel Chapter One, No. 9239, slip op. 18-20, 2009 WL 516000 (F.T.C.), 17-19 (Dec. 24, 2009) (http://www.ftc.gov/os/adjpro/d9329/091224commissionopinion.pdf), pet. for review den., 2010 WL 5108600 (D.C. Cir. Dec. 10, 2010).
Examples of some of the claims observed on your website www.viruxo.com include:
On the main webpage:
- A headline banner statement: "New Herpes Treatment! Cure for Herpes Outbreaks."

The claims and metatags listed above establish that your product is a drug, because it is intended for use in the cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease. See section 201(g)(1)(B) of the Act [21 U.S.C. § 321(g)(1)(B)]. Your product is not generally recognized as safe and effective for the above referenced uses and therefore, the product is a new drug under section 201(p) of the Act [21 U.S.C. § 321(p)]. New drugs may not be legally marketed in the United States without prior approval from FDA as described in section 505(a) of the Act [21 U.S.C. § 355(a)]. FDA approves a new drug on the basis of scientific data submitted by a drug sponsor to demonstrate that the drug is safe and effective.
Furthermore, because this product is offered for conditions that are not amenable to self-diagnosis and treatment by individuals who are not medical practitioners, adequate directions cannot be written so that a layman can use this product safely for its intended uses.

I had figured that the numbers were an encoded set of letters (though there's 12 digits there and nine positions). The hyphenated numbers indicated the order, I thought... but that's as much as I've looked at it in-between fires today.

sure, no problem. the cleartext to the challenge is "break me."
the cleartext is in the above post...i made it hidden incase sombody out there is still crazy enough to try to break it from scratch annother small hint is that if i was to use a VERY small ammount of text it would actually get much easier to break it. with what i used i'd say its fairly hard from the outside. if i were to do a really big piece of text i think it would probably be really hard to break(although certian aspects would become obvious immeadiatly)

Women as $ocially Aware Entrepreneurs
There are a couple of recent studies that may not be causal factors of one another, but their relationship is hard to ignore: women are more satisfied than men with the success of businesses that they start, and women tend to start businesses for social and environmental change, rather than money being the ultimate goal.
91% of women who owned small businesses felt their ventures were currently successful, as opposed to 80% of men – despite women being less confident about the state of the American economy. Business is all about enriching the flow of economy, and exchanging goods, services, and capital – but it's undeniable that our physical world and its people are suffering. Being an entrepreneur doesn't have to mean …

Wordpress sort search results by title offers powerful option for developers to sort search results alphabetically in ascending or descending order.
One of the common problems in commercial sites powered by WordPress is the desire to sort search results by post title. For example, if you are selling songs online and using WordPress, you may need to sort songs from the best to the lowest ratings in the search results. The objective is that any visitor will end up listening the best songs first and will increase the chances of buying the music.
Using PHP, average song ratings of the song post can be incorporated in the title for more user-friendly approach (potential music buyers) will know the song ratings. Using "WordPress Sort Searchresult by Title", when someone do a search using wordpress search box, all those songs can be alphabetically listen in descending order (highest to lowest).
Other applications include a dating site using wordpress. Say someone would need to search names, it is appropriate to give results alphabetically listed so that the search names can be located faster.
Currently the existing WordPress search result algorithm will only sort post by date. This is only useful for blogging, complex applications of WordPress sometimes need search results to be sorted by post title. There are numerous applications that this plugin can be used including a online bookstore powered by WordPress. And this can be easily done bysorting of WordPress Search Result by Title plugin (to sort the book titles or by book review ratings).
For inquiries, support and technical clarifications about this plugin, please visit the PHP developer website.

We actually planned to offer a day of hanging out and helping us to the local folks on HF, but it happened so fast. We signed the lease Friday night, and started moving Saturday morning.
Thanks, Mike! Adam had quite a time, and spent 3 solid days wrestling with the internet. We live in the country, and the shop was downtown, so it wasn't feasible to go back and forth. It was very hairy trying to run all over town... I kid you not, I even went to the local coffeehouse, and the library, on different days toting my printer, laptop, and labels, and printed out shipping labels. People walked by in amusement over my faux office with dozens of labels spitting out of the machine.

AT&T, Sprint, Verizon Nix Download Booster from GS5
Apr 10, 2014, 10:48 AM by Eric M. Zeman @phonescooper
Samsung's Download Booster, a feature of the Galaxy S5 meant to improve file download speeds, has been removed from the device by AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon Wireless. The companies did not provide a reason for cutting the app. T-Mobile will be the only major U.S. carrier to support the feature. Download Booster splits file downloads between Wi-Fi and LTE in order to create faster speeds. AnandTech reports that Download Booster only works with files from apps such as the Google Play Store, YouTube, Facebook, and the browser that are larger than 30MB. Download Booster's usefulness will vary depending on local network connections.

With all three providers having moved toward, or moving toward data limits and caps on their network, none of these carriers are going to support anything that has the potential to put data on their network in that fashion, but more so, why would they wanna get customers complaining that they downloaded over "WiFi" and found that they went over their data cap - there by forcing the carrier to raise their unrealistic low data allotments?
I mean, think about it.

text: These Cookie Stand Entrepreneurs Are the Most San Francisco Kids EverDoug Barry1/05/14 3:30pmFiled to: bitcoinsan franciscocookiescookie standentrepreneurskids444EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkThese two girls in the upscale Noe Valley neighborhood of San Francisco are lightyears ahead of America's unenlightened children, who toil over crappy lemonade stands, mixing Country Time powder into a vat of lukewarm water with vague ambition for future riches. For starters, they've already figured out how to prey on their patrons' vague bourgeois sense of homemade quality by calling their cookie stand a "shoppe." For another, they accept Bitcoin.AdvertisementEarlier this week, Redditor DorkusPrime posted a picture of two pretty adorable girls selling snickerdoodles from their cookie stand (called Mia & Taylor's Coffee Shoppe) in Noe Valley, pointing out that they have a huge QR printout announcing that they accept Bitcoin as possible cookie payment. Another sign on the stand mentions that broken cookies are free, which sounds like an 60 Minutes expose waiting to happen. BUT I DIGRESS.Thus far, according to Buzzfeed, the girls' stand has accumulated .083 Bitcoin, which is just over one hundred million defunct Italian lire, or 70 American dollars. Although Vice's Motherboard blog had the girls pegged as members of the infamous cookie-peddling brigade known as the Girl Scouts, it has since been pointed out that the girls are selling individual cookies. Probably without Girl Scout sanctioning. Probably because the old frontier spirit hasn't quite died in West.Reply44 repliesLeave a reply

Do you want to make Ohio.com your homepage?
Is this rock bottom?
Losing to Temple and Buffalo in consecutive games was unfathomable in August. However, Akron is heading one direction. The Owls and Bulls are going another.
The Zips politely declined to take advantage of scoring opportunities throughout their 26-10 loss today.
Akron outgained Buffalo, 327 to 280. Buffalo snatched each possible point. Akron whiffed.
That's the real story of this game. It's analogous to quarterback Chris Jacquemain's season. His stats aren't bad, but he rarely completes the crucial pass.
I wondered to myself today, how many wins would the Zips have if they played their best player at quarterback? I think the answer is four, including the most recent losses.
Matt Rodgers, whom I heard had minor shoulder surgery, is no longer an option, and the team wouldn't play him anyhow because it would result in the loss of a year of eligibility. But why, oh why, aren't we seeing Carlton Jackson?
The team decided to start Jacquemain after camp broke. They founded the choice on a presumption that the running game would be enough to carry the team, and the quarterback must be a solid game manager who avoids turnovers. Whether Jacquemain fits that description is debatable. What's certain is that Akron needs a playmaking quarterback to keep up. The running game cannot carry the Zips to wins alone.
I believe Jackson will start Friday at Bowling Green -- not because I have any inside information, but because common sense mandates it.
The defense played well enough to win. The Bulls' great running attack gained only 3 yards per carry. Akron's running game was effective. There were no huge gaffes on special teams. Do you see what I'm getting at? I'm isolating this loss completely on the quarterback.
You can look at the coaches, too. At first, I thought the second-half disparity was coincidental. At this point in the season, you have to say there's something else at work. Maybe other coaches are making adjustments while J.D. Brookhart sits on his hands. Maybe Akron isn't deep enough. Maybe Akron isn't well-conditioned for 60 minutes of football.
In all scenarios, the blame falls on the coaches. So does the quarterback decision. I refuse to praise Brookhart as a good coach one week, then a lousy one the next. Unless the Zips lose out and the team revolts, he should keep his job.
Although I've been critical of Joe Moorhead as the offensive coordinator, I liked his play calling today. He took chances and was creative.
As always, I'll have much more tomorrow.

Qualifying .NET Types for Interoperation
If you intend to expose types in an assembly to COM applications, consider the requirements of COM interop at design time. Managed types (class, interface, structure, and enumeration) seamlessly integrate with COM types when you adhere to the following guidelines:
- Classes should implement interfaces explicitly.
Although COM interop provides a mechanism to automatically generate an interface containing all members of the class and the members of its base class, it is far better to provide explicit interfaces. The automatically generated interface is called the class interface. For guidelines, see Introducing the Class Interface.
You can use Visual Basic .NET, C#, and the Managed Extensions for C++ to incorporate interface definitions in your code, instead of having to use Interface Definition Language (IDL) or its equivalent. For syntax details, see your language documentation. For sample code that includes an interface definition, see .NET Server.
- Managed types must be public.
Only public types in an assembly are registered and exported to the type library. As a result, only public types are visible to COM.
Managed types expose features to other managed code that might not be exposed to COM. For instance, parameterized constructors, static methods, and constant fields are not exposed to COM clients. Further, as the runtime marshals data in and out of a type, the data might be copied or transformed.
- Methods, properties, fields, and events must be public.
Members of public types must also be public if they are to be visible to COM. You can restrict the visibility of an assembly, a public type, or public members of a public type by applying the ComVisibleAttribute. By default, all public types and members are visible.
- Types must have a public default constructor to be activated from COM.
Managed, public types are visible to COM. However, without a public default constructor (a constructor with no arguments), COM clients cannot create the type. COM clients can still use the type if it is activated by some other means.
- Types cannot be abstract.
Neither COM clients nor .NET clients can create abstract types.
When exported to COM, the inheritance hierarchy of a managed type is flattened. Versioning also differs between managed and unmanaged environments. Types exposed to COM do not have the same versioning characteristics as other managed types.

Simple ingredients—in fact you probably have most if not all in your kitchen— are used to create a fantastic, but different appetizer.—Meta West, Abilene, Kansas
Classy Appetizers for Your Oscars Party
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups 2% milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 pound thinly sliced fresh mushrooms
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 6 garlic cloves, minced

- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons white wine or additional chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- In a large heavy saucepan, bring the broth, milk and salt to a boil. Reduce heat to a gentle boil; slowly whisk in cornmeal. Cook and stir with a wooden spoon for 15-20 minutes or until polenta is thickened and pulls away cleanly from the sides of the pan. Stir in cheese.
- Spread into a greased 11-in. x 7-in. baking dish. Cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Cut polenta into 16 pieces, then cut each diagonally in half to make 32 triangles; place on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 350° for 12-15 minutes or until light golden brown.
- For mushrooms, saute mushrooms in oil and butter until tender. Add the garlic, thyme, salt and pepper; cook 1 minute longer. Add wine and lemon juice; cook and stir until liquid is almost absorbed.
- Top each triangle with 1-1/2 teaspoons mushrooms; sprinkle appetizers with cheese. Serve warm. Yield: 32 appetizers.

We just released the Visual Studio 2013 Image Library. You can find the library here: http://aka.ms/VSImageLibrary. The Visual Studio 2013 image library includes legacy images (from previous versions including VS2012), new images for 2013, and now also the .ai source files in vector format. Readme files are also included in the PDF format for the Common Elements and Icon types. These readme files include information about how to use these images appropriately in your applications.
