Question: "how can I clean inside a double paned window? Our home is 12 years old with the original tilt-in windows. their is grime, spider web looking material and a film built up on the inside of the double panes. help!"
Double paned windows utilize two pieces of glass that are constructed with an airtight seal between them. This seal is designed to lock the air in so it can act as an insulator. If water or dirt starts to build up between the two panes, it is an indication that this seal has been broken. This break can be as small as a pinhole.
In order to clean between the two pieces of glass, the windows would have to be completely taken apart which would really break the seal. It is not possible to reseal the window without hiring a professional. Unfortunately, this means it's not possible to clean between the two glass panes without ruining the window. If the seal is broken and dirt/moisture is starting to show, it is best to have the window replaced.

Pros: Looking for a standard micro ATX with sata III and USB 3.0. This may be it since its sturdy and hasn't gone down in 2 months. If this doesn't work I'm going to resell intel because newegg, msi, and asrock will NEVER replace or refund with a new board if there is a problem. and you' ll have to pay extra to get it.

text: Olivia DeHavilland stars as a music student whose education is secretly subsidized by the aging owner of a phonograph factory (Charles Winninger). The old man hopes to vicariously live his own musical aspirations through the young woman's success. DeHavilland, however, is just as interested in romance as in music, and with the help of her best friend (Jane Wyman) she sets about to win a handsome husband (Jeffrey Lynn). Featured in the supporting cast are William Orr, the son-in-law of studio head Jack Warner (and later a TV producer) and former silent screen ingenue Mabel Taliaferro. My Love Came Back, a remake of a mid-1930s Austrian film musical, was the first Hollywood assignment for director Curtis Bernhardt. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

New Zealand Reveals 'The Hobbit' Coins; Is Rebranding Itself "100% Middle-earth"
New Zealand is looking to combat its struggling economy by cashing in on Peter Jackson's The Hobbit. The country, which was ground zero for the filming of the original Lord of the Rings trilogy and Jackson's upcoming prequel series, will create a series of coins commemorating Middle-earth and its rich cast of characters.
CBS Moneywatch points out that the release of the new legal tender coins will coincide with the debut of the first entry in The Hobbit trilogy, due in theaters this December. The goal of the campaign is to rebrand the country as "100% Middle-earth."
Jackson's films were a boon to the nation's tourism industry (second largest industry in the country), and New Zealand hopes to once again capitalize on another adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's beloved fantasy novels.
While the new coins are legal tender in the country, they're being aimed primarily at collectors. CBS points out that the retail cost of the coins will be more than their face value, with the most expensive going for roughly $3,000. Sounds like Gollum might have a few new Preciouses when things are all said and done. If that price is too rich for your blood, there will be entry level coins in the $25 range.
The new currency (featuring Bilbo Baggins, Gandalf and other characters) aren't the first time New Zealand has released commemorative coins based on films – there's also been a set based on George Lucas' Star Wars as well.
Which one of these people is in the movie The Accountant?
J.K. Simmons

After transferring to the University of California at Berkeley in 1961, Charles Perry roomed with Owsley Stanley, who produced LSD in large quantities.
...The Summer of Love led to a greater tolerance of nonconformity. For instance, the issue of men having long hair was violently debated for a long time, and then finally people decided, hey, any length is okay, whatever you want. And so a lot of personal freedom and nonconformity is more tolerated these days.
Later on, the "doing your own thing" just became a mantra of hedonism. But in 1967, the kids came, they caught the excitement, but they were newcomers and they had to establish themselves, they had to show that they were part of it, they had to wear kind of a costume. Lots of them were taking as many drugs as possible to give themselves the feeling that they were part of it. It was no longer a spontaneous kind of thing, it was conformist.
There's certainly a heritage of hippie life. ... that particular kind of aesthetic, a ... particularly un-emphatic hedonism is now an ongoing feature. ... You have people living in a room with, where it's decorated with furs and bits of driftwood and Indian art and things like that, nothing hard-edged, sort of soft and comfortable and something to meditate upon.
That's a continuing thing. And there are still people who live like that. And of course, there are even psychedelic bands these days. One of my nephews was in a psychedelic surf band.

After its ruling on the incredibly politically charged issue of health care, the Supreme Court might be taking on the next big politically charged issue, i.e. same sex marriage.
The Obama administration has asked the Supreme Court to take on the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) case of Massachusetts upon its return from summer recess. The DOMA case was repealed by G.O.P after a Federal Appeals Court struck down the law as unconstitutional because it denies same-sex couples federal financial services and benefits.
According to reports the nation's apex court can take on the case as soon as September and declare a ruling by June 2013....
(Excerpt) Read more at lawyerherald.com ...
Let's see how much the libs love Roberts brand of judicial restraint after this one. Let the Congress repeal it's bill.
Massachusetts, hum, another Romney legacy.
The Obama administration has asked the Supreme Court to take on the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) case of Massachusetts
Obama has confidence now that he owns Roberts.
We all know how the two Dykes will vote.
One of the two Obama appointees is a radical Leftist Lesbian - as far from impartial as a human being could be. Likely ditto for Sotomayer. There is no longer any even vaguely credible court of last resort in the United State of America. There needs to be a big wake for America.

Wouldn't Roberts have to recuse himself ? /sarc
(yes, that's an '/s')
which supreme court justice handles mass?
with all the cases out there it seems very much like forum shopping.
The key in this nonsense is the "born that way" myth. The other is avoiding the religion argument. Arguing faith abandons logic and reason to the deviants.
Thank you for same sex marriage Willard...
Do I really have to say it ...
Yeah, Milt was also good for a gun ban in MA.
The Whitehouse has already said they will not lift a finger to protect the law in court and there had been a rumor that the GOP Congress was hiring lawyers of their own to support DOMA in court. Obama's arrogance may be handing us an opportunity!
Sometimes when one talks of Romney it's like those scenes in "Life of Brian", when the people say "what have the Romans ever done for us".
(Remember they list dozens of things the Romans did, and finally find one insignificant thing they did not do.)
Romney and BHO are the same on key liberal issues: abortion, homosexual, man made global warming, government mandates, government health care, destroying their opponents, gun bans, taxes, deficits, welfare........but they are different - Romney is taller and has sons instead of daughters. There see how much better he is that BHO.
Something tells me that we can't trust Chief Justice Roberts on this one...
Gee, what gives you that impression?
I think it should read: "The DOMA case was appealed by G.O.P...."
"I predict the ruling will be 6-3 invalidating DOMA using the equal protection clause. Kennedy will write the majority opinion."
I would go with that prediction.
However, the big case will be Prop. 8 and the will 6-4 Against Prop. 8 and I'm afraid Roberts will write the majority opinion.
And if Prop. 8 goes down, every state ban will go down with it.
After DOMA and Prop. 8 are stuck down and all the existing state bans are invalidated, the people is the states will demand a Constitutional Amendment banning Gay Marriage and Sodomy.
And that could possibly set the stage for legalizing polygamous marriage in the near future. Just last week a California legislator proposed a bill that would allow three or more adults to be recognized as the legal parents of the same child. It is truly a strange new world out there.
Well, if so, that is a big cue for some of us to reverse our tragic boat accidents and get ready to rumble.
I read an article in the New Yorker about Roberts ruling on DOMA and gay marriage cases:
"The Court will not have much flexibility in the DOMA cases. There is only one question presented: Is DOMA constitutional? It will have to be answered yes or no.
In the Proposition 8 case, there are more options. The Court might restore same-sex marriage rights in California without finding a nationwide constitutionally based right to marriage equality. Even some advocates think that would be the best and most politically sustainable result. But there is little doubt that if the Court rules in favor of gay rights the decision will be significant, perhaps even historic. Most people assume that the fifth and deciding vote belongs to Justice Anthony Kennedy, who wrote the Courts majority opinions in its two most recent big gay-rights rulings, Romer v. Evans (1996) and Lawrence v. Texas (2003).
Chief Justice John Roberts joined the Court in 2005, two years after Lawrence was decided, after only a short stint on the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals.
None of the gay-rights-related cases that have come before him as a judge give any significant clues as to how he might rule on the weighty constitutional issues he will face next term. Interestingly, as the Los Angeles Times reported in 2005, before he was on the bench he worked behind the scenes for gay rights activists in the Romer case who were represented at the time by his law firm, Hogan and Hartson.
But now, in these marquee gay-rights cases facing the Court next termas American public opinion, especially among young people, shifts rapidly towards greater equalityRoberts may find the very kind of legacy issues around which he has shown a willingness to break with his more conservatives colleagues. Put another way, these cases will help define what freedom and equality look like in America, perhaps for decades. Will Roberts want to be on the losing side of history?"
No doubt Roberts will side with the old ACLU Communist Ginsburg and the wise Latina —and Kagan— and his alum Obama in the "fundamental change" The Court would do well to restore the model used by James Wilson when he taught of "marriage" under American Law at the College of Philadelphia which seems a clear reflection of the Genesis - Matthew— 1 Corinthians6: model taught by Moses ,Jesus , and the Apostle Paul in the Sacred Texts."the two become one" And Nowhere in the Holy Writ do I find anything to suggest same sex marriage. In the Christian Bible—as in American Law before the falling away — same sex unions are NEVER sanctified as "marriage" but called fornication and adultery —and an abomination worthy of death.And those who take pleasure in such (See Romans 1: ) likewise.
CJ Robber is a treasonous POS at best. Can they be sent letters? I'm sure they would be screened and shredded as the eligibility cases were. One even the day 0 visited and what is that about. Checks and balances my ass. Self imposed time out!

Vertical farming/urban farming is a plan to grow produce in vertical, multi-story structures within urban areas to reduce the dependence on food grown and transported long distances.
Vertical farming will be using new versions of hydroponics and aquaponics. It will use about 100 times less water and provide over 5 times greater energy efficiency. The system can provide positive monetary returns within two years.
$122 million investment for 5 warehouses to grow spinach, broccoli, tomatoes, fish, head lettuce, leaf lettuce to feed the city of Chicago
$4.7 annual operating
$97.7 million annual revenue
Professor Despommier argues that the technology to construct vertical farms currently exists. Developers and local governments in the following cities have expressed serious interest in establishing a vertical farm: Inchon (South Korea), Abu Dhabi (United Arab Emirates), and Dongtan (China).

K Series - Noisy Tapets
Posted 22 March 2014 - 11:00 AM
Has anybody on here had this issue before and is it true that it's not going to give me bigger issues later on if I don't get it sorted?
As always, any feedback much appreciated :-)
Posted 22 March 2014 - 4:47 PM
A few thoughts, if you give it a real good thrashing after getting it warm it sometimes solves this issue. Failing that i think you can find the culprit by removing the cam cover and seeing which tappets you can compress. I doubt it will be more than one or two.
I have never tried this. It might be worth an email to DVA or KiwiRog to ask for the correct method of checking them. It should just be a case of changing the dodgy one / ones.
Edit, a few more thoughts. Hydraulic tappets will drain down if left for an extended period. The oil is fed via the oilways between the cam ladder and the head top. if you put too much / the wrong sealant on this will cause a problem by blocking some or all of the oilways.
You need to use the correct small amount of sealant. The correct sealant is disolvable by oil when not between mating surfaces. Im not saying its been done wrong but it could be the problem if they are know good tappets.
Posted 23 March 2014 - 6:26 PM
Are you sure its tappets? The VVC can be a rattly old bugger of a unit but its not particularly detrimental to it. Could just be the VVC which will rattle a tad about 5k after its been fully rebuilt.
Posted 23 March 2014 - 10:33 PM
I dont think Andys is a VVC? IIRC. You are right though some VVC,s are noisy. Some are not. Gregs for example is one of the quietest i have heard and its done 80K.
Posted 24 March 2014 - 11:45 AM
Thanks for the feedback.
As far as the engine is concerned it was sorted by Gav at Unit 4 (Fitted new unit and changed head gasket for later type). I have heard good things about his work and along with his Lotus background I feel that he would have done a top job. However, if some sealant has found its way into one of the oil capillaries then it makes sense that it would result in an oil starved tappet which i guess could be an issue later on in the engines life.
martin is right...my engine is a standard K-Series and not a VVC.
Posted 24 March 2014 - 12:39 PM
I doubt Gav has done it wrong. I would get him to check the tappets though

Video: Masahiro Tanaka's morning simulated game
Didn't have time to get this uploaded in the morning, but in case you're curious, here's some video of Masahiro Tanaka's simulated game against Brendan Ryan. This certainly isn't every pitch, but it might give some idea of the way his stuff looked. Tanaka said once again that he feels healthy, but it's pretty clear that he doesn't feel that his stuff is quite ready for a big league game at this point. Command seems to be the biggest issue, which isn't surprising considering the time off. And sorry about the lighting. The sun wasn't very helpful this morning.

Toronto FC announced Wednesday that they have signed German international midfielder Torsten Frings and Dutch international forward Danny Koevermans as Designated Players. Both players, who have each signed multi-year contracts, will begin playing for Toronto FC after July 15 when Major League Soccer's transfer window opens. As per club policy, financial terms were not disclosed.
"We have added two very important players with significant experience and technical ability," said Toronto FC Head Coach and Technical Director Aron Winter. "Torsten and Danny will make an immediate impact at our club. Signing Torsten and Danny is a very important step in building a team that our fans are proud to support."

A native of Würselen, Germany, Frings, 34, has earned 79 caps for Germany in his career and has played in two World Cups including Germany's run to the 2002 Finals. Frings also was part of Germany's second place finish at Euro 2008. His club career spans 14 seasons in the German Bundesliga, starting and finishing at Werder Bremen along with Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich. His club career achievements include the Bundesliga title and DFB-Pokal (domestic cup) and the DFB-Ligapokal with Bayern Munich during the 2004-2005 season. At Werder Bremen, Frings was part of the 2007-2008 side that finished second in the Bundesliga and runners up in the 2009 UEFA Cup, and two DFB-Pokal's and one DFB-Ligapokal.
Koevermans, 32, has spent the past 11 seasons in the Dutch Eredivisie and Eerste Divisie, most recently with PSV Eindhoven. The native of Schiedam, Netherlands, began his professional career in 2000 with Sparta Rotterdam scoring 71 goals in 110 appearances for the club. Following the 2005 campaign, he moved to AZ Alkmaar where he continued his scoring ways collecting 31 goals in 52 appearances. In 2007, he moved to PSV Eindhoven and has spent the past four seasons with the club. Koevermans has earned four caps for the Dutch National Team and scored the winning goal over Luxembourg during a 2008 Euro Cup qualifying match.
"Torsten and Danny are excellent leaders both on-and-off-the-pitch," said Paul Mariner, Director of Player Development for Toronto FC. "We know our current roster and young Academy players will learn and benefit from their arrival in Toronto."
Both players will be eligible to play their first match on Wednesday July 20 against FC Dallas.

[UPDATED 10.00am 30 March: Channel NewsAsia has reported the discovery of a body from nearby waters, along with "suspected human remains" from one of the ships. A spokesperson from the Maritime and Port Authority told Yahoo! Singapore that search and rescue operations are still ongoing.]
Four men were injured and sent to hospital after four vessels caught fire at Tanoto Shipyard in Jurong Tuesday evening.
In a statement early Wednesday afternoon, the Singapore Civil Defence Force also said three persons have not been accounted for, and that maritime authorities are coordinating a seaward search and rescue operation for them.
Of the four men injured in the fire, three had burn injuries while one suffered cuts and a suspected finger fracture.
One of the men with burns was sent to the Singapore General Hospital while three other casualties who were in a passing vessel in the vicinity of the fire were ferried by a Police Coast Guard (craft) to the PCG Gul Base and then brought by SCDF ambulances to the National University Hospital, SCDF said.
According to Channel NewsAsia, one man was in critical condition with 38 per cent of his body burnt.
It also said that of the four vessels that caught fire, one was fully engulfed with flames and sank.
The fire was extinguished by the SCDF at 4:30am Wednesday, hours after the civil defence forces were alerted to the incident at 9:19pm Tuesday.
SCDF said it sent four fire engines, two red rhinos, six supporting vehicles, two ambulances and two marine fire vessels to the site of the incident at No. 1 Jalan Samulun.
Investigations into the fire are ongoing, it added.

Vegetable Pie
Do you ever get cravings for a particular food or flavor well today I can't stop thinking about making a vegetable pie, not just any vegetable pie but a super spicy corn and vegetable pie with a perfectly flaky Gluten Free Crust! To start the crust, I combined all my gluten free flour ingredients, White Rice Flour, Cornstarch, Brown Rice, Tapioca Starch, Almond Meal/Flour, Potato Starch, Xanthan gum and salt and sifted them into a large bowl. I mixed the flours together really well. You could also put them into a seal-able container and give it a good shake. Then I measured out my butter and cut it up into smaller bits and added it to the flour mixture. Using my hands I mashed the butter and flour together letting it crumble between my fingers until all the butter was combined with the flour. At this point it looks crumbly with small chunky bits. I beat the egg in a separate bowl and then add it to the flour/butter combo then I add the ice water and vinegar. I mix this really well and the dough sticks together and easily forms a ball. I separate it into 2 balls and wrap them with plastic and put them in the fridge for 1 hour. In a large sauce pan or dutch oven I added 1 tbsp of oil and the diced Leeks. When I diced up the leeks I cut off most of the green and only used the white ends. Then I added the chopped red and green pepper and the minced Jalapeno. I remove the seeds on the inside but if you like Spicy you can leave them in. At this point I add the vegetable broth, corn, carrots, potatoes and chipolte puree. (you can find the recipe here) Be careful with this stuff. It is super hot and a little goes a far far far way. I cover the sauce pot and let it all simmer on med- low until the potatoes and carrots are soft about 30 minutes. I add 1/4 c of cream and simmer uncover until most of the moisture has evaporated and it resembles a thick stew. At this point, take one ball of the dough and place it on a sheet of flour dusted plastic wrap. Dust over the top again and cover with another sheet of plastic wrap. Roll out the dough to the size of your pie pan, making sure you leave enough for the side of the dish as well. Trim off any excess dough from the rim. Spoon the corn filling into the pie until it is filled to the top. Then roll out the other ball of dough exactly the same way and place it directly over the pie and filling to cover it completely. A little water between the two pastry shells on the rim of the pie will help seal the two pieces together. Press down on the rim to seal it. Trim off the excess. Cut a few slits on the top piece of dough and its ready for the oven. I preheated the oven to 350 degrees and put the pie on the center rack. Then I baked it for 30 – 45 minutes until the pastry on top is turning slightly brown and the insides is bubbly hot. To get the golden brown color on my pie I paint the pastry with egg white and put it back into the oven for an extra 10 – 15 minutes until golden brown. !
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar
- 12 tbsp butter
- 86.8 gr White Rice Flour
- 50.4 gr Cornstarch
- 47.6 gr Sorghum Flour
- 42 gr Tapioca Starch
- 39.2 gr Almond meal/flour
- 8.4 gr Potato Starch
- 5.6 gr Xanathan Gum
- 2 tbsp Coconut Oil
- 2 Leeks, diced
- 1/2 Green Pepper, chopped
- 1/2 Red Pepper, chopped
- 1 Jalapeno Pepper
- 1 tsp Chipolte Puree
- 4 cup Vegetable Broth
- 2 Garlic Cloves, minced
- 1 Carrot, Peeled and chopped
- 2 cups Frozen Corn
- 2 white Potatoes, chopped
- 1/4c Heavy Cream
- 1 egg white (optional)
- Add flour and salt to a large bowl. Add butter that is cut up into the flour. Using your hands work the butter into the flour. It will become crumbly. In a separate bowl combine the egg, water and vinegar and beat gently with a fork. Add to the flour mixture and stir with a wooden spoon until the dough pulls together and makes a ball. Separate into 2 balls. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Using mostly the whites, chop leeks and saute with the coconut oil in a large sauce pan or crock pot until soft. Add minced garlic, carrot, red and green peppers. Cut the jalapeno pepper lengthways and remove seeds. (you can leave the seeds in if you want it extra spicy. Add to the crock pot. Saute vegetable until softened.
- Add vegetable broth, Chipolte Puree, frozen corn and potatoes. Let simmer on medium heat for 20 minutes or until the potatoes are cooked. Blend in the cream. Allow to simmer on low until most of the liquid has evaporated and the filling is a thick "stew".
- Cover the counter with a sheet of plastic wrap and lightly flour it. Using one of the balls of dough, put it in the center of the plastic sheet and lightly flour the surface. Cover with another sheet of plastic wrap and roll it out to about 1/8 " thick and to the size of your pie dish. Peel off the top layer of plastic wrap and flip the rolled out dough into the pie dish. Peel off the second sheet of plastic and trim off excess dough from the edge of the pie plate.
- Spoon the vegetable "Stew" into the pie dish, filling it to the top of the pan.
- Take the second ball of dough and roll out the same as the first and then place it over the entire pie. Press the edges together to seal. If it doesn't seal well use a bit of water on the edges to act as a glue between the two sheets of dough. Cut a few slits in the top to act as air vents.
- Bake in a 350 degree preheated oven for 30 minutes until the pastry is firm and slightly brown and the insides is bubbling hot.
- Take out of the oven and paint surface with egg whites and return to oven for 10-15 more minutes until top is golden brown.

September 9, 2010 Changing SpeedsGilding the Lilly
When the Los Angeles Dodgers and starter Ted Lilly square off tonight against the Astros in Houston, very little will be at stake for either team. While the Padres' recent freefall has allowed the surging Giants and Rockies to vault back into playoff contention, the struggling Dodgers' team goals have been reduced to keeping players healthy, sorting out their options for 2011, and using the 12 remaining games against their more aspirational National League West rivals to play spoiler. Oh, and hopefully entertaining their paying customers more by their on-field exploits than the spectacle of their owners' uncanny impersonations of Oliver and Barbara Rose. For Lilly, however, the next few weeks carry much more personal importance. The four-year, $40 million contract he signed with the Cubs prior to the 2007 season is set to expire, and the veteran left-hander's performance down the stretch may go a long way toward determining the size and length of his next engagement. Lilly entered his walk year in Chicago under a flashing red light, recovering from off-season surgery to clean up his shoulder, and when he returned to the mound in late April the 34-year-old seemed less than his normally reliable self: strikeouts were down, walks and home runs were up, and only an uncommonly low BABIP helped him maintain a respectable ERA despite his indifferent peripherals. Since being shipped to the Dodgers at the trade deadline—a deal which kept him in blue but moved the former Athletic, Blue Jay, and Cub another letter down the alphabet—Lilly has been much more like his old, often underrated self:
Lilly's performance in Wrigley Field this year wasn't exactly poor—after all, he still sported a Support Neutral Winning Percentage of .539 and a reasonable ERA—but his peripherals were all trending in the wrong direction, as evidenced by a 4.14 SIERA, and his 3-8 record wasn't going to help him in the court of publicly financed opinion. He's never had overwhelming stuff, relying on three solid off-speed pitches (a slider, a changeup, and a big, looping curve) to keep hitters off balance while working his low-velocity fastball in on their hands. Over the years he's lost a few ticks off his heater—from near 90 mph in his Toronto days to around 86 earlier this year—and when you combine that with his early-season numbers, age, and recent surgery you can understand why there were whispers that Lilly was losing his balance on the "crafty lefty" tightrope and might soon plummet out of the major leagues, or at least out of the ranks of solid rotation options. Since the trade, however, his velocity has been up a smidge, and his peripherals have improved to the point where a strong finish will allow his overall 2010 numbers to camouflage themselves quite well among his recent seasons. What's accounted for this change? Most likely, nothing much—his early-season struggles and late-season surge are perhaps just normal small sample variations that have summed up to his actual ability. Then again, our Resident Expert, John Perrotto, reports that a few scouts have noticed a change in Lilly's approach since the trade, a willingness to be more aggressive in the strike zone—and indeed the numbers back that up a little, with Lilly throwing 71.6 percent of his pitches for strikes since the trade, compared to 68.4 percent before. This willingness to work more in the strike zone may also have some bearing on his increased home-run rate since the trade. Lilly himself alluded to this after his most recent start, a seven-inning, seven-strikeout affair marred only by two solo home runs, one of them to Buster Posey: "To Posey, I made the mistake that he wasn't swinging, and I just kind of grooved it in. It kind of felt like he was taking right there, I don't know why." More likely, though, this too is just small sample size noise. In any case, whether Lilly has improved with his move to Chavez Ravine or has merely pitched as he always has, solid work in his last five starts should set him up for another solid payday. His BABIP currently sits at .249, a career low, so one might expect Lilly to give up more hits down the stretch. However, Lilly is perhaps the most extreme fly ball pitcher in the game—his 51.5 percent fly ball percentage is the highest in baseball this year, a typical result for him—which leads to lower-than-average BABIPs, as evidenced by his .270, .283, and .270 marks the last three years. Pitching in Dodger Stadium, with the baseball's third-lowest run-scoring park factor (0.89) and a mid-pack home-run factor (0.97) should help keep more of those fly balls in the yard compared to Wrigley Field (1.11 and 1.07 respectively), so any jump in BABIP may well be offset by a decreased home-run rate. It's this last factor—the run-scoring environment in Dodger Stadium—that poses an interesting question: How much will that affect Lilly's off-season decisions? Even after it became clear that the Dodgers weren't really in the playoff hunt, they pulled Lilly back from waivers after the Yankees claimed him and stated they were interested in discussing a new contract—an offer Lilly's agent responded warmly to. Below is a list of the possible free-agent starting pitchers who may be available in the offseason:
The list is sorted in order of SNLVAR earned since 2007—the last time Lilly was on the market. Cliff Lee stands alone in this class, of course, but surprisingly Lilly's numbers both over time and this year are comparable. No one here is particularly young, and everyone else has major questions: Arroyo has an affordable option; Kuroda may not want to pitch in the U.S.; Vazquez, Pavano, Harang, and Myers are notoriously inconsistent; Webb, Penny, Sheets, Bedard, and Harden are huge injury risks; Pettitte is likely either a Yankee or a regular consumer of the Early Bird Dinner Special; and Jon Garland is Jon Garland, which is to say someone that doesn't get major-league GMs breathing heavily. Given this list, if I'm a team looking for a solid veteran starter that won't completely break the bank (and what team isn't?), Lilly might well be at the top of my shopping list, putting him in line to get sprayed with the money hose by the highest of many bidders. Teams may be loath to give a long-term contract to a 35-year-old whose stuff leaves little margin for error, but Lilly has spent the last half-decade proving his durability, his adaptability and his ability to put enough zeroes on the scoreboard to win games. If Randy Wolf garnered 3/$30 million in last year's market, Lilly has to be worth at least that much. On the other hand, at this point in his career, what does Ted Lilly want? Money? OK, everybody likes money, but somehow it just don't seem like him. He earned over $40 million with his last contract—by far the best big pitching contract of the 2006-07 offseason, by the way. Despite his time with the Yankees, he's never pitched in a World Series, so perhaps winning a championship would be his overriding concern, or at least pitching in the postseason to wash away the taste of his NLDS drubbing at the hands of the Diamondbacks in 2007. On the other hand, a little pop psychology makes a good case for him signing with the Dodgers, even for less money. He was raised and has a home in California, where his wife is a veterinarian, and where his first child was born this spring. The team has a lot of question marks, but so does every team in the ever-competitive NL West, where each September brings a cavalry charge to the finish. Perhaps most importantly, signing in LA guarantees he winds up in a ballpark suited to his particular brand of aerial artistry. If the Dodgers offer him something like $17 million over two years, he may jump at the chance. It might all come down to which of these things he values most: earning more money than his colleagues, winning a team championship regardless of his personal success, or hearing fans cheer him as he strolls off the mound after yet another quality start, aided by a few long fly balls that died at the track. If he picks Door No. 3, I can't say that I'd blame him.
Question of the Day (h/t Tommy Bennett) If you were Ted Lilly, would you accept less money and/or a shorter contract to pitch closer to home in a ballpark better suited to your talents?

Yeah gg buff that frost mage 1 button wonder through the roof. Fire all the way!
Shouldn't FELsteed already be infused with the fel energy?
Why couldn't they let inscription-folk make the new glyphs? Make the patterns learned through scroll, or a world drop on isle. Make it low drop-rate so there will be a nice market for them.
Glyphataur is PTR-only. Players testing out new glyphs need easy access to them to provide the devs with useful feedback and find bugs.For example, using two of the new Druid glyphs together caused Stormwind to be covered in Efflorescence.
Glaive Toss no longer initiates auto-attack.Why?
Are the new epic crafted items going to go live as Bind on Pickup? Leatherworkers would only need 49 Hardened Magnificent Hides to create the two useful pieces for their spec, but would create many more to learn all the recipes (pve + pvp). Linking Discovery with creating a useful item is one thing, but this seems like a waste of a lot of Hides.
here's a dirty confession.if wow makes Gnome Hunter classes, I will sign back on in a heartbeat. and if we get our own special robot pets to our liking. =)
Was looking at trying selfless healer as Holy Paladin but with increase in Judgement cost not sure if viable now.
Oh maaaaaaaaaan. The green Felsteed is going to be gorgeous. *swoons*
why is rushing jade wind being changed to melee range thats bad D: i like being able to just throw it and have it hit everything from afar this helped in raids where the tank had to take the bosses away from healers or rest of group also helps when tanks have to stack the adds now us healing monks have to stand in stuff just to cast rushing jade wind? plz atleast make a glyph so that it stays the old way seriously us having to stand next to a tank in order to get the effect is bogus specially when the bosses do massive hits.... and its no longer channeled and last twice as long im confused by this if it is instant and last twice as long does that mean we dont spin and we can cast while its up cause there has been multiple times i have used spinning crane kick and it just lasted forever and so i couldnt use anything else xD plz just make a glyph that keeps it the old way this way is a bit wonky as of right now
no sky claw? ok...back to GW2.

On the actors-playing-horrible-versions-of-themselves spectrum, Matt LeBlanc falls somewhere between Larry David and James Van Der Beek.
"Episodes" (10:30 p.m. Sundays, Showtime) ostensibly follows a married writing team whose beloved British comedy about an elite boarding school has been Americanized into a hockey sitcom called "Pucks!"
But the former "Friends" star has hijacked both.
He beds the co-creator, the network president's blind wife and the former Make-A-Wish kid who beat cancer and a path to his door.
On the other hand, this Golden Globe-winning version of LeBlanc is famously well-endowed, so the character assassination stuff is kind of a wash.

Kathleen Goldstein, Environmental Defense, 202-572-3243, cell 202-841-0295
(December 7, 2006 – Washington, DC) Environmental Defense praises Senate Commerce Committee Chairman Ted Stevens (R-AK) and ranking member Daniel Inouye (D-HI) for spearheading efforts today to pass of one of the most significant pieces of environmental legislation in this Congress. The House is expected to pass the bill, which reauthorizes the Magnuson-Stevens Fisheries Act, later today or early tomorrow.
"This historic legislation creates a cap and trade system that will provide an economic lifeline to fishermen and ensure a secure supply of fresh, local seafood for all Americans," said David Festa Environmental Defense Oceans Program Director and former director of policy and strategic planning in the Commerce Department, which includes National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. "Senator Stevens and Senator Inouye deserve credit for leading the effort to enact this vitally important legislation."
The bill gives a green light to cap and trade programs by mandating scientifically-determined caps on fishing catches and issuing clear guidelines on mechanisms to establish trading of catch "shares", also known as "limited access privilege programs"(LAPPs).
"Catch share programs change the economics of fishing and conservation," added Festa. "Just as shares in a company become more valuable when the company is well managed, shares in a fishery become more valuable as the fishery rebounds in response to conservation measures."
These programs also give fishermen better control over when and how they fish, allowing them to reduce costs, increase personal safety and have higher quality fish, which raises the price they can get for their catch. That is welcome news for many struggling fishing communities.
A recent article in Science magazine predicted that the wild seafood supply would be exhausted in the next 40 years if we do not change course. By making sustainable fishing economically attractive, these programs have helped prevent overfishing in nearly every fishery where they've been implemented. This bill clears the way for their widespread adoption in the U.S.
Despite their advantages, catch shares are not magic bullets to the problems of overfishing. They need to be implemented in the context of strong conservation goals and standards to ensure fairness and public input to the design process. When done right, they help lead to economically viable fishing communities, better recreational opportunities and supplies of fresh, local seafood.
Other details of the bill include:
- Requires caps on fishing to be set using the recommendations of the science and statistical committees of the eight regional fishery management councils in the U.S.
- Issues guidelines to management councils to establish rules on trading of fish shares.
- Mandates stopping overfishing in fisheries undergoing rebuilding.
In addition, the bill backslides on a few conservation points:
- Provides only weak accountability in ensuring caps are met in all cases.
- Delays the implementation of the requirement to stop overfishing for two-and-a-half years.
- Extends the deadline for rebuilding the Mid-Atlantic summer founder fishery until 2013 (an extra three years than under current law).
- Bill may have unintended consequences that could undercut the Pacific groundfish cap and trade program currently under development.
"After ten years of ongoing negotiations and failing fisheries, we now have a solution that gets to the heart of the matter and addresses the economic incentives of overfishing," said Amanda Leland Environmental Defense Policy Specialist. "With such a bright future on the horizon, we need Congress and the Administration to fully fund these programs to make that future a reality."

Paris was every bit of magic. I didn't think it could be any more beautiful, but then it was. Just like that. Every corner, every street, every door, every pillar, every building, every "every," provided the perfect photo opportunity. C'est magnifique!
The French were pretty awesome. I know they get a bad rep for being "rude," but rude people are everywhere. On our first night, we got so lost trying to find our flat (bonjour Airbnb!) in Montmartre. After walking in circles in the rain, I approached a French girl and asked, "Bonsoir, mademoiselle. Parlez vous Anglais?" Home girl whips out her iphone and starts looking up directions for us. I think as long as you greet them politely and not just demand, "Where's the metro?," they'll be more than happy to help. :)
P.S. This is just the beginning of my Paris photo diaries. More to come. Way more. Oh, and can you can believe all these photos were taken on our first day!?! Looking back, we could've put our cameras down a little more...

"I have always considered imaginative truth to be more profound, more loaded with significance, than every day reality... Everything we dream about, and by that I mean everything we desire, is true (the myth of Icarus came before aviation, and if Ader or Bleriot started flying it is because all men have dreamed of flight). There is nothing truer than myth... Reality does not have to be: it is simply what is." ― Eugène Ionesco, Notes and Counternotes

Passing Time in Britain's Iconic Off-Roader
One of the great things about a used Land Rover Defender is that hardly anyone's going to know you're driving an old model.
In both engineering and styling, Land Rovers radiate personality and individuality. And that's there in truckloads in the new third generation Discovery that recently hit our shores.
Jaguar supplied the 4.4-litre V8 motor which endows the top-of-the-line model in Land Rover's third-generation Discovery mid-sized SUV with almost 300bhp.
The last time I drove one of these - or more accurately a vehicle that was broadly equivalent - was a little over 30 years ago.

String literals are described by the following lexical definitions:
stringliteral: shortstring | longstring shortstring: "'" shortstringitem* "'" | '"' shortstringitem* '"' longstring: "'''" longstringitem* "'''" | '"""' longstringitem* '"""' shortstringitem: shortstringchar | escapeseq longstringitem: longstringchar | escapeseq shortstringchar: <any ASCII character except "\" or newline or the quote> longstringchar: <any ASCII character except "\"> escapeseq: "\" <any ASCII character>
In plain English: String literals can be enclosed in matching single
quotes ('
) or double quotes ("
). They can also be
enclosed in matching groups of three single or double quotes (these
are generally referred to as triple-quoted strings). The
backslash (\
) character is used to escape characters that
otherwise have a special meaning, such as newline, backslash itself,
or the quote character. String literals may optionally be prefixed
with a letter `r' or `R'; such strings are called raw strings and use
different rules for backslash escape sequences.
In triple-quoted strings,
unescaped newlines and quotes are allowed (and are retained), except
that three unescaped quotes in a row terminate the string. (A
``quote'' is the character used to open the string, i.e. either
or "
Unless an `r' or `R' prefix is present, escape sequences in strings are interpreted according to rules similar to those used by Standard C. The recognized escape sequences are:
Escape Sequence | Meaning |
\newline |
Ignored |
\\ |
Backslash (\ ) |
\' |
Single quote (' ) |
\" |
Double quote (" ) |
\a |
ASCII Bell (BEL) |
\b |
ASCII Backspace (BS) |
\f |
ASCII Formfeed (FF) |
\n |
ASCII Linefeed (LF) |
\r |
ASCII Carriage Return (CR) |
\t |
ASCII Horizontal Tab (TAB) |
\v |
ASCII Vertical Tab (VT) |
\ooo |
ASCII character with octal value ooo |
\xhh... |
ASCII character with hex value hh... |
In strict compatibility with Standard C, up to three octal digits are accepted, but an unlimited number of hex digits is taken to be part of the hex escape (and then the lower 8 bits of the resulting hex number are used in 8-bit implementations).
Unlike Standard C, all unrecognized escape sequences are left in the string unchanged, i.e., the backslash is left in the string. (This behavior is useful when debugging: if an escape sequence is mistyped, the resulting output is more easily recognized as broken.)
When an `r' or `R' prefix is present, backslashes are still used to
quote the following character, but all backslashes are left in
the string. For example, the string literal r"\n"
of two characters: a backslash and a lowercase `n'. String quotes can
be escaped with a backslash, but the backslash remains in the string;
for example, r"\""
is a valid string literal consisting of two
characters: a backslash and a double quote; r"\"
is not a value
string literal (even a raw string cannot end in an odd number of
backslashes). Specifically, a raw string cannot end in a single
backslash (since the backslash would escape the following quote
character). Note also that a single backslash followed by a newline
is interpreted as those two characters as part of the string,
not as a line continuation.

I am kind of with Stitchy in this regard--I love being able to tinker with my watches in the morning! I appreciate the anecdotal remarks on your Leman Timezone, I hear little about BP. I will keep the thread updated!
Very interesting perspective. Personally, I like the roman numerals and the curved date hand on the new one, but I like the size, logo placement, and moon face on the previous version. It is a bit of a wash for me. For some reason, I prefer the balance of the new one to the old one, but wish it was a little smaller.
And I kind of have the same feeling about the VM. I find it a bit stodgy, perhaps, whereas the JLC MUT Moon is a bit more refined, simplistic. However, I really appreciate the whimsical and quirky side of BP. Both appeal to me, albeit in very different ways.
I feel the same way about BP and GP. In particular, GP, although I think that they shoot themselves in the foot with some of their designs *cough, seahawk.*
GP, GO, and BP are all brands I like, yet something keeps holding me back. I generally like their aesthetic, but something is just off enough to prevent me from pulling the trigger
I think it was in stitches who said something to the effect of what usually happens is people just go to JLC as a default. I dont know what it is that makes JLC right and those other guys wrong but I find my thought patterns following that well worn groove he described.
I have to agree with that. JLC just puts out such a refined product. Although I worry that with Richemont at the helm, in the future they may start to compromise their aesthetic. Although I like the Master Compressor and the Navy Seals watches to an extent, I still think the "true" JLC is in their Master Control line. I just hope that they do not forget it. I think the problem with GP and BP is that they are so close in price to the watchmaking triumvirate. When I was looking at the BP last night, I could not help but think how close it was in pricing to a Lange Saxonia, and some rose gold offerings. And from what I have seen, BP is just not up to par in terms of finishing, at lease in regards to Lange, Patek, etc. Same thing with GP. I love the GP EOT, but at $33,000, I would much rather spring for a Lange 1.
Just my 2c.

Their durability may be questionable, but the lightweight and comfortable Aiaiai Tracks deliver surprisingly rich sound for an affordable price.
Arriva, a small company out of Colorado, makes funky-looking sports earphones that are designed to stay on your head no matter what. The Leo is the company's Bluetooth wireless model and it comes in additional colors (green, teal, and gray).
See manufacturer website for availability.
Audio-Technica's ATH-M30 headphones aren't on par with the step-up ATH-M50s, but they deliver very good sound for a low price.
The WS55s may not make a comfortable fit for everyone, but they do sound really good for the money.
For those who don't to like to have earbuds jammed in their ears, Bose's $99 IE2s are a good alternative. They sound decent but get their highest marks for their comfort level.
Creative was selling its excellent Aurvana Live headphones for $55, but they became so popular Creative couldn't keep them in stock. Now they're back up to their list price of $99.99, but hopefully we'll see discounts in the future.
Creative's $79.99 WP-350s are among the best-sounding Bluetooth headphones at this price.
A few years back Grado tweaked its $99 SR80 made-in-Brooklyn headphones, adding an "i" to the end of their name without actually adding it to the product itself. We still like the older SR80, which remains on the market, but recommend going for the slightly upgraded SR80i.
We were impressed with how accurate the Hifiman RE-400 earphones are, as well as their simple yet elegant design. At $99, they slide in just under the sub-$100 threshold for the list.
Klipsch Image S4 line has long been a CNET favorite in the in-ear category. The original S4 has dipped below the $50 mark while S4i, which has a microphone and in-line remote, can be had for about $10 more. In 2012, Klipsch released the newer and updated Image S4i II, which features a sturdier flat-cord design and costs $89. And you can also pick up the Image S4i Rugged ($99), an "all-weather" sports model. While the designs are each slightly different, they all sound the same.
The Koss PortaPro is a longtime favorite of CNET's Justin Yu.
LG's Tone HBS-700 stereo Bluetooth headset is among the most comfortable we've tried, and it offers good audio quality.
The MEElectronics A151 balanced-armature headphones are one of the best sets of earphones out there for around $50.
The MEElectronics Air-Fi AF32 is a comfortable set of on-ear Bluetooth headphones that also sounds very good -- for Bluetooth headphones, anyway.
The Monster iSport Intensity shares some similarities with the Bose SEI2i sports headphones, but they cost about $50 less. You can also get a good deal on the yellow Livestrong version of Monster's true in-ear model, the iSport Immersion -- it costs around $50 -- but that model will eventually be discontinued.
The Monster Turbines are an older model but they sound really good and we've seen them selling for as low as $75 (they originally cost $150).
The Nocs NS400 headphones, from Swedish newcomer Nocs, have a sleek design and deliver detailed sound. They also come in black.
We initially had the $75 Noontec Zoro on the list, calling it a "bargain audiophile headphone" thanks to its clear, balanced sound. The standard Zoro is still available, but Noontec has more recently released the Zoro HD, which looks identical but offers better sound. It lists for $149.95 but can be had online for $99.95.
The Philips O'Neill The Stretch headphones may not have great sound but they're well designed, very comfortable, and cost less than $50. They also come in white, and there's a step-up model, the Stretch Headband Headset SHO9567BK/28 (or SHO9567WT/28), that features an inline microphone for $10 more.
Polk's higher-end in-ear sports model has come down in price a bit, making it a better buy. This one comes in multiple colors.
These lightweight on-ear headphones from Scottish company RHA offer decent sound and a comfortable fit for a relatively affordable price.
The HD280 Pro headphones received an CNET Editors' Choice award years ago, but they remain on the market and have dropped below $100.
Note: When we originally reviewed this model, it cost more and we said that it was pricey. No longer.
Sennheiser's lightweight on-ear PX 100-IIi headphones are available for less than $60 and offer surprisingly good sound.
I'm not a huge fan of Skullcandy headphones, but I generally like what the company's done with its new on-ear model, the Navigator.
While Sony's entry-level earphones don't blow away the competition, they offer good clarity and an integrated microphone for less than $100.
The Remix remote was released back in 2010, but it's come down in price and is one of the better earphone deals out there (and it features an Apple-friendly inline remote with microphone). Like all V-Moda earphones, it delivers a lot of bass.
iPhone 8: Everything we know so far
This is all the iPhone 8 reports and rumors in one place. From a 5.8-inch OLED display, reports of wireless charging and even a 3D scanner for facial recognition, it's all here.

Yes, you see
soldiers proceeding up a street, but notice that you are actually looking at
two images…..one from World War II and another from more contemporary times of
the same location.
A historical
mix…of sorts.
Think about
the impact this could have on students of history. Think about the connections that students
could make between historical content and their surroundings.
pictures are the work of historical expert Jo Teeuwisse from Amsterdam. This article from the Daily Mail states she
began superimposing images from different time periods of the same location
after finding 300 old negatives at a flea market in her home city depicting familiar
places in a very different context.Here is a second example of her work.......
Like Miss
Teeuwisse I think this process of making war scenes or any historical image
have meaning by linking it to a more familiar image heightens the impact. As
she states, "knowing the exact spot of some detail will etch it into your
visual memory."
work isn't just as simple as layering photographs, however. She researches daily life before and during
the war, interviews eye witnesses when she can and recreates certain aspects of
history to gain a unique insight into that area.
Isn't that
something than any history teacher worth a grain of salt wants to do with their
course…..part of our job description is to help students gain unique insight
into the historical content we present to them.
through to see the pictures presented with the Daily Mail article. Also visit the Ghosts of History Flicker page
and the Facebook page here.
I'm thinking
the process of superimposing images from various historical times …..The Civil
War, Civil Rights and not just World War II would be a valid project for
students with a little planning and guidance.
What do you

Mid-century grandeur in the heart of L.A.
468 Rooms / 101 Suites
The Beverly Hilton, a Four-Star hotel with a prime location in Beverly Hills, is famous for playing host to the Golden Globes every January. But this storied hotel offers much more than a red carpet for stars to strut their stuff on. The lobby's mile-high ceiling and its 1,400-gallon salt-water aquarium may wow you, but so will the hotel's more pragmatic side: WiFi can be accessed throughout the hotel, even at the enormous Aqua Star pool, a favorite of sunning executives. Guestrooms, decked out in soothing beige-and-brown tones, boast that nice balance between luxe and practical. For every thoughtful amenity (pillow-top mattresses, Peter Thomas Roth bath products), there's a state-of-the-art one (Bose music systems, 42-inch HDTV plasma TVs).

Sheldon School Board Approves Instructional Levy, Sets Date for East Elementary Improvement Election
Date posted - December 11, 2012
Sheldon, Iowa — When the Sheldon Community School Board of Directors met Monday night they voted to continue participation in the Instructional Support levy through June 30, 2018.
This levy, which has been in place for many years, will provide about $450,000 per year for such items as textbooks, computers and other constructional items. No members of the public attended the meeting to be heard at a public hearing held to hear comments on the program.
The Board also set Tuesday, February 5th as the date for an election for the public to vote on measures, which would provide for financing the East Elementary School Project and other purposes. The latest plans for the project show a proposed addition of eight new classrooms and expansion of the Media Center. These classrooms would be occupied by the first grade and kindergarten. This would be located directly West of the Media Center. The plan also shows a large Multi-purpose room, and another new area, which would provide room for administrative offices, and the nurse's office plus work and storage areas and several new restrooms. Polls will be open February 5th from noon until eight p.m.
Superintendent Spears also brought the Board up to date on the proposed new Ball Fields. He said that at this time the School District is concentrating on the East Elementary project, but they are planning to work with NCC to see if they will be able to do the dirt work that will be necessary. This could mean a considerable savings to the District and City of Sheldon who are partners in this venture.
In other action the Board accepted the resignation of the school's business manager, Bill Borchers. Borchers is retiring effective June 30th after fifteen years in that position. The Board also heard a presentation from several Middle School Teachers who talked about the many new ways they were using new technology in the classrooms.
The next School Board meeting has been set for January 16th.

Looking for any comments on the type and mark.
Type is Franklin Gothic Demi Condensed.
Looking for any comments on the type and mark.
Type is Franklin Gothic Demi Condensed.
I do not think the condensed type is harmonizing with the shape of the planet. Next to the perfect circle of the planet, the type feels squooshed.
Do you have any more info on who/what this is for? Feedback is much easier to give if we know what you're trying to accomplish.
It is for a band called Sounds of Saturn. The name comes from the now famous audio recordings of Saturn's rings.
One of my thoughts was to cut a hole in the middle of the planet, so that it would look more like a record or CD, however that really kills any feeling of dimension created by the rings.
They wanted to keep the mark fairly simply and straightforward. Nothing specific was set about the type, so I am open to all kinds of suggestions.
Type is definitely my weakest skill, so I love to hear suggestions!
As for type, depending on the style of the band, you could try either a still more techno/sci-fi look, or trying to match the O either with the circle of the planet or the ellipse of the rings.
Also, in order to lighten the relative blackness of the planet, you could try to incorporate a S into the circle shape.
If you keep the planet solid a round heavy geometric type might work very well. Depends on what kinda band it is as well. If it's a rock band you might want a type that's more aggressive then this.
If the symbol is gonna be this simple I would make it a lot smaller, there's is no need for it to be this big when there is nothing more in it. I would make it slightly smaller then the type and have some nice details in the type instead.
I would try making soundwaves out of the rings but this might night work so well. What riccard0 suggests with the S in the planet might work, this would diminish the blackness of the whole thing.
there's is no need for it to be this big when there is nothing more in it.
Paul Ducco
Thank you all for the feedback, it's most appreciated!
Here is a revision based on what I've read. . .
much better.
I would even use something more geometric than this. Where the other letters like 'S', 'U' and 'N' follow the 'O'.
There is also a possability to create some combination between the mark and the word "OF". You could have the rings on the right side transfer into the 'F' somehow. Might make the whole thing more interesting.
Right now it does look better than before but I still feel that it's a bit boring.
just my two cents

As if will.i.am doesn't have enough guests on the remix, the whole gang multiples in its accompanying video. It's the remix bitch!
will.i.am and Britney's record just got louder with the addition of some of hip-hop's most notable names. When Puff invented the remix, we hope this isn't what he had in mind. lwhq
