You Have a Problem
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
Hello. My name is Jacques Monet, I am a chef. And you have a problem. Yes, you. You most certainly have a problem.
Look at you sitting in this Americanized bastardization of a French Bistro. Are you even aware that we French resent what you Americans have done to the word Bistro? This is not a bistro. It is a what you call a "Corporate Chain Restaurant" that serves "consistently good food", which is code for bland food for bland pallets. In my native France we would not serve this swill to our hogs.
edit But this is not your problem
You may think that this is your problem, but it is not your problem. Then whose problem is this? It is my problem.
"You must see the world," my mother tells me. She is an unfeeling cold bitch, so naturally I must do what she says to curry her favor.
So I go to see the world. And where do I end up? In Roma? No. In the Virgin Islands? No. In Rio where they samba because they cannot afford food? No. I end up here: in an "American Bistro" in Cleveland, Ohio, where I create meals. No, I take that back, there is no room to create meals here, because the "Corporation" has recipes that I must follow and stagnant menu featuring the "chicken fingers", well done meats and something called "lava cakes".
edit This is my problem
I should probably begin by telling you a little bit about myself. I'm 34 years old, a Frenchman living in Ohio. I attended the Paul Bocuse Culinary Arts School, and graduated Magna cum laude at the age of 21. Chef Bucose told me when I left that I must suffer for my art, and that will make me the greatest chef in the world. And that is when I left to see the world. While I saw the world I had many lovely women, and we made amazing love to each other. But I pressed on, looking for the most tortured place on earth that had also had the best art museum in all the world.
And that is how I come to be in Cleveland. Not only is it tortured, but it has a beach where I can take long walks by myself where I can brood about how unfair life is.
Not only did this filthy, dying and gritty place have an amazing art museum, but it also has the best symphony that I hear outside of France. And because the French love a tortured soul and great art, here I decide to make my stand. Here I will forge my character. Here I will save these digusting people from themselves.
edit So what is your problem?
In time, I will get to your problem. This is another of your problems, America; you want always to rush to the end. You tell the punch line even before you savor the set up. This how a nation of pigs acts. You want immediate satisfaction, always. When a waiter asks you what you want for dinner inevitably one of you will say "I'll start with dessert!"
Just like a fine meal you must take you time when it comes to catharsis. You cannot rush a great a epiphany, no?
edit No is correct!
I must start somewhere, so I read the paper, and it is of no use for me to find the proper position.
So I go to the bank and am very displeased to find that it is not Nationalized. Filthy rotten capitalists. They will not give me a loan because I have no income. How can I make income if they will not give me a loan? I argue. But they do not listen. And then the rent is due, and I do not sleep on the street for that would be too much torture. No?
So, I swallow my pride and decide if I must sell my soul to the devil I will take a job at a newly opening café in a shopping mall. I am disgusted with myself, but I need to pay the landlord for my apartment. And besides, I tell myself, you will be in a kitchen! But I soon find out it is not a kitchen, but factory for corporate food. I think about leaving, but where will I go?
And when I look out at the serving floor what do I see? I see large women, and screaming children, shoveling this slop that they serve as food into their - how do you Americans say it - "pie holes", and I make sick in a trash can. This what I see in America, fat people, getting fatter on bland, tasteless food.
edit Why is this your problem?
Now, after twenty years in this rotten place, twenty years of slaving away, making an Onion Soup that no French person would even pollute a gutter with, I have taken matters into my own hands, so to speak.
That white sauce on your $9.99 plate of Fettuccine Alfredo? I ejaculate into it. That creamy ranch dressing that you defile my salads with? I ejaculate into that, too.
NO! you say. Most certainly, I assure you.
And that Sauce Bearnaise served with the Tuesday Night Steak Special $10.99 "rib eye"? My ejaculate gives it a "flavor" that the weekly free newspaper that no one reads, calls "Amazing!"
"Not the creamy potato and leak soup?" you plead. I reply "Yes, that too."
Why do I do this? WHY? I will tell you why. Because if I did not tell you this you would not know that I ejaculate into your food. Well, maybe you would notice if you were Paris Hilton or Zachary Quinto.
But I assure you that nothing on the children's menu contains my ejaculate, because that would be perverse. And I am not a pervert. No. I am French!
Even we French know that there are limits to what we can do to the chicken finger or the hot dog served on a bun.
Bon Appétit!

In light of these new realities corporations face, the first step a company should take is to establish internal guidelines addressing interaction with government agents. Companies should have a response policy in place and communicate this policy to all employees, especially receptionists, executive secretaries, and those employees who are likely to be the first approached by law enforcement.
A key element of a corporate response policy is identifying a designated person ("DP")—and a hierarchy of backup designated persons (collectively referred to as "alternative DP")—to respond to all federal requests. The DP should be an individual with a significant degree of authority and responsibility. For example, a company may wish to use its head of security or CFO. The alternative DP should be an individual who would be available if the primary DP is unavailable.
The company should create and distribute a plan for reaching the DP and alternative DP in the event of an investigation. This contact plan should include distributing work phone numbers, cellular phone numbers, and any other appropriate way to reach them. Since investigative contacts are usually unscheduled and happen at odd hours, a company should make sure the DP and alternative DP can be paged, "Blackberried" or telephoned in case of an emergency. Furthermore, a company should inform building security personnel of the procedures for contacting the DP and alternative DP, particularly if agents are executing a search warrant.

"We currently do use gelatin to clarify our beer. We used a non-animal based clarifying agent for the majority of our operations but we were finding it unable to keep up with the pace we needed to push beer out. We are actively looking to find a better solution that remains vegan friendly.
We will have a summer seasonal that won't use any clarifying agents. Our BerlinnerWeisse will be completely vegan friendly when it comes out, which should be sometime in June."

Last week the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued two long-awaited draft guidances on social media: Internet/Social Media Platforms: Correcting Independent Third-Party Misinformation About Prescription Drugs and Medical Devices ("Correcting Misinformation Guidance") and Internet/Social Media Platforms with Character Space Limitations—Presenting Risk and Benefit Information for Prescription Drugs and Medical Devices ("Social Media Risk Guidance"). These draft guidances apply to both drug and device manufacturers (referred to generally as "firms" within the draft guidances and this alert).
On a positive note, the Social Media Risk Guidance clearly describes FDA's thinking about promotion in a limited-character format. However, because the document proposes only minor compromises in the existing regulatory requirements for these forms of media, FDA could be criticized for a lack of creativity. In the Correcting Misinformation Guidance, FDA displays a little more willingness to compromise by acknowledging that firms should be able to correct misinformation posted on third-party sites without having to meet all the labeling and advertising requirements, as explained in more detail below.
These are draft guidances, intended to provide insight into FDA's thinking on these matters, and should not be relied upon as final policy. The FDA is seeking stakeholder comments on these documents by September 16, 2014, at www.regulations.gov.
In this guidance FDA states that there may be a public health benefit to a firm correcting misleading information about its products. Under this draft guidance, if a firm follows a specific framework when making a correction, it need not comply with the applicable FDA labeling regulations. This exception applies only to a firm correcting misinformation about its own products created or disseminated by an independent third party who is not under the firm's control or influence.
Specifically, the Correcting Misinformation Guidance includes the following directives:
If a firm strays from the prescribed guidelines, the communication will not fall under this exception to the FDA promotional rules.
The following points raised in the draft guidance may be of special interest:
The flexibility shown on the part of the FDA in terms of facilitating corrections is commendable. However, because implementing a correction may result in harm to the firm, it may be loath to take advantage of this draft guidance. Further, even after a firm attempts to correct misinformation, there is still the possibility that anonymous bloggers can easily rebut any corrections as illustrated in Example 14 of the draft guidance. The FDA does not expect firms to continue to monitor a third-party website after correcting misinformation. Once a firm engages in correcting misinformation on a third-party site, however, there may be a temptation to continue to engage in discussions that may lead firms to be enticed to provide promotional, rather than correctional, materials. Firms that opt to correct misinformation on third-party sites will want to create clear guidelines for employees to ensure adherence with FDA rules.
The Social Media Risk Guidance, the second of the draft guidances, does not stray far from the labeling requirements for drugs and medical devices, but provides firms a roadmap for key points to include in social media platforms such as Twitter and Google Ads. The following directives are included in the Social Media Risk Guidance:
Firms that may have been reluctant to enter the space previously may be encouraged to enter it with these clear guidelines. However, there are practical challenges in implementing these approaches. Drug companies may have particular difficulty following this draft guidance because safety information, which the guidance indicates must be included, tends to be quite lengthy. Device manufacturers are better positioned to comply, but they tend to do less direct-to-consumer marketing than drug companies, making this roadmap less useful to them.
Industry stakeholders will no doubt make FDA aware of these perceived compliance challenges in their comments on the draft guidances. They will also likely raise First Amendment issues in light of recent cases challenging the government's ability to regulate commercial free speech. Nothing in these draft guidances changes our previous advice that firms train all employees engaged in social media on the applicable laws and regulations and have social media-specific policies and procedures in place.

As I mentioned yesterday, a New York man sued Apple recently claiming that the electronic assistant "Siri" that lurks in each iPhone 4S does not work as advertised. I certainly wasn't the only person to mention this, so it is probably just a coincidence that somebody else filed a nearly identical lawsuit yesterday as well:
Daniel Balassone; Benjamin Swartzman, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated v. Apple Inc.
3/20/2012 5:12cv1384 PSG (San Jose)
Class action for warranty and unfair competition. Defendant claims its iPhone 4S Siri feature, a voice-activated assistant, performs useful functions, such as making appointments and finding restaurants, and otherwise works as advertised. Siri does not perform as advertised, making the iPhone 4S merely a more expensive iPhone 4.
Available for download [via Courthouse News Network]
Also, if they had only gotten started yesterday, that wouldn't have given them much time to copy the first complaint. I mean, they did need to change the names in the caption.
I should say I haven't actually read the new complaint yet [update: I have], so some of the other words may have been changed as well. [Update: they were.] But obviously the allegations are pretty much the same. [Update: they were too.]
It's not impossible, of course, that this is entirely coincidental. Like Frank Fazio, Balassone and Swartzman may also have bought their phones based on Apple's alleged representations that Siri can do anything you ask her, "promptly realized" after the purchase that this is not in fact true, taken some time to investigate the matter and locate an attorney willing to assist them and all others similarly situated, and just happened to file about the same time that news broke of the first lawsuit. It's also not impossible that their attorneys noticed the first lawsuit and recruited a couple of plaintiffs of their own so they could get on the bandwagon. This is something that happens all the time; the first lawsuit sets off a rush to the courthouse as different groups try to claim a share of the attorneys' fees that would be part of any settlement. Whether that is the situation here, only time will tell.
I asked Siri what she thought, but she couldn't answer my question. Typical.
[Update: she did just now answer correctly, for me, every question that Balassone and Swartzman allege she screwed up for them except for questions involving their personal contacts. Maybe she likes me better.]

Want to see what im dealing with ? Check out ktvo cannel 3 weather /pics
Okay I am truly ready now I just did a test run in the backyard and slipped and fell in the mud. I actually had to laugh at myself. I just know I will be doing the same thing this weekend
I am actually hoping for more cold weather. It might help freeze the ground a little.
We only saw a light dusting of snow here in St. Louis so it just aided in making the ground that much more soggy.
I am defiantly bringing a change of shoes for camp and the car ride home.
Wow, first night out in the Missouri arctic. Can I bring a heater to put under my hammock? Lol ! Cold butt syndrome nothing, what about frozen butt syndrome. I'll be fine, going to bring extra pad and fleece blanket just in case. Looking forward to meeting everyone and having some good time around the fire and gaining some much needed knowledge from the group. I know there's lots to learn for a newby. Made my first alcohol stove tonight so going to bring it to try out this weekend.
Weather Forecast for Troy, MO:
Fri Mar 1
Few Snow Showers
WIND: N at 13 mph
Sat Mar 2
Partly Cloudy
WIND: NNW at 12 mph
Sun Mar 3
Partly Cloudy
WIND: WSW at 5 mph
With beauty all around you, may you walk.
I love making those stoves and test burning them. Something about how simple yet efficient they are that I just like. I've made a few but only one has really turned out really well so I use that one and another that a forum member made for me.
My goal/target is to boil 2 cups of very cold water using .5 oz of fuel in a short period of time "in the field". My WD40 stove and my "Elite" knockoff both come very very close and will do so in the summer months but in winter it usually takes a bit over .5 oz.
Can't wait to see your stove campalot!
And as far as stoves go, Digitizer should actually be in counseling for his stove addiction

Gideon, does my wife telling me that I spend too much time on building stoves count as counseling?
Campalot I would agree with Gideon they can be a lot of fun to mess with just don't let them get the upper hand or you will have a hundred alcohol stoves in your basement before you know it.
Campalot im getting ready to head out,you posted that you had a tarp set up ,so im leaving my second tarp at home .Post up if you still need it ,if i dont hear from you i will assume you have it covered,(all pun intended).
Hairbear are you heading out as in head out to camp tonight? I don't want to leave you in the parking lot again hanging by the cars
I am thinking I will be leaving the house around noon today and should be at trail by 2:00-3:00 (may stop for lunch in Troy) I am planning on heading in to try and find the site and may setup if time permits. Then I will head back to the trail head and look for Campalot and anyone else coming down tonight.
Looking forward to seeing everyone and drive safe it started snowing again in St. Louis.
Digitizer I will try to catch you at trailhead and hike in with you but don't wait
around for me. I will follow your trail in to camp.

How Not To Get To Malaysia
Trip Start
Jun 01, 2006
Trip End
-- Damien Hirst
And I thought he just did things to cows.
After an aborted attempt to leave One More Beer, due to some workshy minibus operators and our own general lack of motivation, we finally made it out (thanks again Brian).
We got the minibus to Narhat, and from there we thought it would be relatively simple to get a train to Hat Yai, which in turn is the jumping point to get into Malaysia.
What we thought and what actually happened were, as usual, very different things. You couldn't get a train to Hat Yai until 6AM, and a bus was quite expensive. Worse than that, a bus from the train station to the bus station was going to cost more than the bus itself, due to the sheer amount of annoying taxi touts with nothing better to do than rip us off.
So we got on the next southbound train anyway - just to spite everyone. It didn't go to Hat Yai but it was going to Phatthalung which is more than half way there, and the ticket only cost fifty pence.
It turned out that the train took four hours to travel forty miles as it went back and forth over the same line for some time.... still, you get what you pay for.
We still couldn't get a train to Hat Yai so we stayed in a sub-standard hotel instead. Phatthalung is a tiny place, and everyone stops to say hello to the foreigners - which is nice, and reminded us of being back in China.
Anyway we got the six am train to Hat Yai (twenty pence) got off the train in the middle of nowhere for some reason, walked down the train tracks for half an hour to find the station, and had two minutes to spend all our remaining Thai Currency on snacks before we were again on our way, heading for the south west border crossing.
We walked from Thailand to Malaysia, as we have found that this is more fun and less hassle than trying to get a bus or taxi or anything else that will drive you. The border was fine and dandy, and off we walked.
The first big thing was trying to get hold of some Malaysian cash, and fighting off the three hundred taxi drivers who all knew where we were going and wanted us to go there with them. By the time this was done though it was getting late and we wanted to get to Perhentian Kecil by the end of the day, which was an island off the west coast. We didn't really have the time to go to another island, but we wanted to so there you have it.
We ended up getting a taxi, and nearly dying. We didn't though (hurrah!) and got on a speedboat at four pm.
After getting up at 5AM and taking two trains, three long walks, one border crossing, a deranged taxi cab and finally a speedboat, we got to our destination.
Despite the twelve hours of sweat and nothing to eat but about fifteen bags of crisps, as the boat bounced up and down across the turquoise water, the spray battering our faces, I had to admit that I love my life. Vinny concurred.

Guess whose face is on the ticket for Mizzou's game vs. South Carolina?
Michael Dixon left in November. Loving tribute here. (photo via @natejacobson1) |
It's weird times in Columbia right now. The head coach could be receiving bad news at any hour.
The 13-4 Tigers, who have lost three of their past six games, have a home game against South Carolina on Tuesday night, and it's a fairly nondescript game except for, wait, what? Yes, that's Michael Dixon on the game ticket. The same Michael Dixon who was dismissed from the team/school in late November and didn't play a game for Mizzou this season after allegations about sexual assault led the student board to dismiss him.
This photo comes from Nate Jacobson, a journalism major at the school, according to his Twitter bio.
Obviously what happens in cases like this is, the school prints out season tickets to all the fans who've signed up for them and mails the sheets of tickets out before the season.
No one could have foreseen Dixon being dismissed.
And news about Haith just compounds the tough times Missouri is going through these days.
So now it makes for a little bit of an awkward collectible for the diehard Tigers fans who are hoping to get through this season without more reminders of past punishments or harbingers for future ones.

text: An online training program to teach teachers, staff and others about best practices in special education will go live during the 2014-15 school year. Fort Wayne Community Schools board members on Monday approved a $156,000 contract with local company CVC Communications to develop online training modules for FWCS staff to learn about special education topics. Board Vice President Julie Hollingsworth said the online special education courses will be an asset to the district. "I think it's a great idea. There's probably no area of education that's more highly regulated (than special education) and driven by all sorts of rules and regulations," Hollingsworth said. The online courses will be divided into about 19 modules, each approximately 30 minutes long. Courses will include links to reference materials, FWCS-specific scenarios, mid-course knowledge checks and end-of-course quizzes, according to FWCS Special Education Director Ann Barnes-Smith. Employees who complete the training will receive printable certificates. The courses are expected to be available online next school year and will be funded by a technical assistance grant from the Indiana Department of Education.

Thread: The Underwater Project
The Underwater Project
I started my 10 Gal Tank about two months ago now. I was Looking for something positive to do in between classes and work. Mistakenly, I believed that, as most freshwater fish are so very inexpensive, this would be a good way to use my time without spending a lot of money. I have spent A LOT of money. more than I planned anyway. I really enjoy it though. I watch my fish swim for hours and have to remind myself to take time to do other things. It's very stress reducing I think..... until one of my fish got ich (lol). Daily water changes, medication, wow. I am getting nervous like I have a child with chicken pox whom I don't want to infect the other children. Julius rubs his ich all over my golden dojo who is scaleless and very prone to these things. I keep treating the tank and treating the tank hoping it will go away before any of the other children get scabies we will see what happens. I am on day 6 of the herbal remedy. I am keeping a .3 salinity. I am doing 30% water change daily for 4 more days on a mission to kill the ich.

The Underwater Project
0My 10 Gallon tank of four has grown quickly. I now house a Fancy Goldfish, A Golden Dojo Loach, A Chinese Algae Eater, Two Halfmoon Female Beta, Three Panda Cory, and a small Colony of Ghost Shrimp. I have planted Anacharis and and a red/green plant (forgot the name). They are all pretty happy. I had some issues with the flake food feedings and water quality so I have added a cube of frozen brine shrimp daily and Live Bloodworms a few times a week. My tank seems better balanced. I have tried cooked vegetables. Everybody says you can give your fish cooked vegetables. Mine won't seem to eat it unless they are starving. I heard my Chinese Algae eater will grow to about six inches and I know my Golden Dojo will be an easy ten. I am making plans to upgrade to a 39 or 55 gallon tank. My 10 gal will be used as a breeder and nursery.
Happy Fish Happy Life
0those gold fish, depending on the actual species can grow to over a foot long, the cae will grow big and aggressive and stop eating algae. i advise loosing him (i hate those things!) and the cories need at least 6 to be really happy. the bettas would be fine if alone in the 10g.
I wonder if i plant one of my tiger barbs would the demon seed grow to a full tree?
gotta love them bunnies!
I.R.S.: We've got what it takes to take what you've got!
0Not to mention that bettas prefer a completely different temperature than goldfish.
I've recently discovered a site called AquaAdvisor. While it's not fool-proof, it's a handy quick-guide for tank stocking. Here's what it has to say about your current tank.
And here's the same stocking in a standard 55 gallon tank. It still claims to be overstocked, with several other major warnings.Last edited by Flyby Stardancer; 06-30-2013 at 03:00 AM.

0yes, i know. Betas like it 80+ and the goldfish like it cooler. I keep my tank at about 76-78 Room temp for my house is 77. It's a relatively happy medium for them for now. The dojo prefers colder temps as well, though he will be ok in warmer water 80+temps will significantly shorten his life span. I plan to set up a tropical tank in the near future. I hate to split these guys all up but the ones that really pal around together are the goldfish and the dojo. They will be in the colder temp setup. The betas could care less about the other inhabitants of the tank. They do their own thing.
My Panda cory's are quite happy in a group of three thanks. My 10 gal isn't big enough to add more.
As for tank size I will be upgrading to a larger tank soon. In the mean time most of my fish are still pups. They have quite spacious living area for now.
Thanks for all of your feedback. Much Love.
0I did read about cae being large bullying bad tempered who may even take to suckling the side of other fish at their slime coat. What's up with that... Really???? I plan to keep him with my dojo loach and my goldfish in a larger cooler tank. I am hoping that as long as there are bigger fish or fish as big as in the tank he will stay mellow. I also have algae tablets if the day should come when the algae in the tank isn't enough and he starts going after fish slime. JEEZ LMFAO!!!
Fish B So Crazy
Happy Fish Happy Life
0Hey that calculator is handy. It allows you to select the size of your tank and the type of filter you use. I have a marineland penguin 200 for up to a fifty gallon tank. It does say I will need a bigger tank before my fish grow up If I want reasonable living quarters. This I knew.. It also recommends 3 dojo, which I am aware of but cannot add responsibly and reasonably until I get a larger tank. I will keep this calculator bookmarked for help stocking my tanks in the future. Thanks for the link :]
The Underwater Project
0My fish seem to be doing Great now that the Herbal Remedy for Ich is slowly coming out of the tank in water changes. I cut out the medication Monday. Most signs of Ich in Julius are gone. I am finishing ich cleanup with salt and continuing my water change regimen. Thank's to Longshot with Cliff's post on Cycling I am ahead of the game on getting my Cycle back.
I have been testing natural lighting with my tank and so far I like it. I took the hood off completely. My tank is under a 9 foot window. It gets lots of natural indirect sunlight with a couple rays that lay right through the tank at certain hours of the day. I wondered why have a hood with artificial light that blocks the natural light. I am sure my plants will love it. They need the extra care for a while after all of this salt water treatment and water changes i have been going through.
anyone with any experience on natural sunlit aquarium's have any input?
Soak up the Sun.
0Too much natural sunlight also promotes algae growth. Last time I had my tank set up, it was in a place where it would sometimes get maybe an hour or two of direct sunlight a day. After a couple months, I started to struggle with algae.
Some people do really well with natural light, however. You'll just have to see if you have the right mix of plants to prevent algae growth.1. 2. (No Picture)

So what lies ahead for Clark Kent's television career? Advertisement According to the LA Times, fans shouldn't be worried about the departure of Swimmer and Slaykin:While the show has yet to be renewed for a ninth season, sources assure that a greenlight for more is likely. And with Swimmer and Slavkin gone, the show's other two executive producers, Kelly Souders and Brian Peterson, are poised step in as show runners.But while the producers may be in place, what about the actors? Rumors are still going around that some of the cast — including Clark himself, Tom Welling — are uncertain about signing up for a ninth season of the show, and last week fansite Kryptonsite suggested that the CW may be thinking of alternatives: [W]e are starting to hear rumors that if Tom does not sign for a Season 9, there might be a Smallville spin-off in its place after all. No ideas yet on casting or concept, or if this is anything more than a rumor, but it's something to think about...A spin-off? Even though recently proposed Robin-centric spin-off The Graysons didn't make it past the drawing board? Really, people.

I had a very similar un-explained noise shortly after rebuilding my th350 too. A very high pitched squeel at all times. It got worse as the engine temp went up. I stopped by a tranny shop and they said its most likely the converter. They surmised that it was put together with too much preload on the torrington bearing inside. I returned the converter under warantee and the new one is fine now, no squeel since changing it out. Mark |

Torque Converter Failure - TH350 Can someone explain what I should be looking for in the initial failure stage of a torque converter. I think I may have one going bad but since Ive never blown one out, Im not sure if Im looking in the right place. Let me explain: Stats first.. TH 350 in an 81 Camaro. Transmission sits behind a supercharged 383. I wont burn up the thread with all the engine details, but the calculated HP for the setup should be around 450+ hp. I rebuilt the transmission about 800 miles ago (my first rebuild may be some of the problem..) One of the bad choices I made during the build-up was to purchase a bargain 2400 stall converter on E-Bay. I dont remember the brand name, but I hadnt heard of them before, and Im sure you all havent either. Anyway 5 or 600 miles of break-in around town and I went to the strip for 10 or 12 all out runs on an 1/8 mile track. I now have what sounds a bit like a bearing failure somewhere in the drive train. I have the noise regardless of the gear, or even if the car is moving. Im targeting the torque converter because I have no dought that I greatly exceeded the abuse this cheapo torque convert should take. Long story short, can someone give me some examples of TC failure signs and / or experience? Or maybe TC failure is more catastrophic instead of slowly (i.e. self-destruct"). Your experience and advice is appreciated Thanks - Stan |

Good lord. I though voyeur life was real again, were the masses were into Hip-Hop from afar. Kind of like a zoo. But, apparently not at Harvard. Tyga was supposed to perform at the campus of the school and it seems like a group of people are calling for the YMCMB member to get pulled from the bill. Yardfest is the annual thing there, but actual students are protesting him. Why? It looks like the songs like "Rack City" reek of misogyny to these people. Now, I have to wonder – WHERE YALL BEEN? Most of the protesters seem to be women and they seem to have a strong movement against him…all 1,000 of them. But, the Tyga announcement was just made a couple of days ago so you better believe its going to get more people as the event approaches for spring.
Time will tell if Tyga gets the boot.
Harvard got jokes though. They are saying that Tyra should perform instead.
Mannn…Halle 46 and her guy is 47. They getting up there.

So I showed you guys my deco mesh wreath and promised a tutorial for how I made my garland. It's the same concept for both the wreath and garland. There is seriously NO way you can mess this up!
Start with a plain green garland. You won't be able to see any of it once you finish.
Take a section of the mesh and sort of squish it down to make a bubble.
Then take a pipe cleaner or twist tie and secure it around the garland.
This is what it looks like once you have the base of white on. A hot mess. But then you take your smaller deco mesh ribbon and go back through….
I twist tied the red to all the sections that were there before and middle of the sections.
Here's a visual. You will take your red and twist tie it like the picture.
Then you go back through and fill in the spaces where you can see the twist ties with ornaments. It's so simple but make a big impact! (I think I need a Christmas mat… it looks a smidge out of place!)
I think there will be more deco mesh in my future :)

The world's lightest fully cushioned running shoe.
Free delivery in 4-6 working days with free returns
Separated by a central channel, the CloudTec® sole responds to your individual gait. The Cloud elements are affixed directly to a semi-transparent Speedboard allowing each Cloud element to move individually.
The Cloud is the lightest fully cushioned performance running shoe in the world. Designed for runners who want a minimal running shoe with maximum cushioning. Built from Zero-Gravity foam, the Cloud weighs less than 200 grams, making it a perfect lightweight performer.
The CloudTec® sole is formed from a super-light, flexible and responsive Zero-Gravity EVA foam. Additionally, the deepflex grooves provide a natural range of motion and extreme flexibility.
Forget about lacing up your running shoes: The On Cloud features an easy-entry lacing system that can be adapted to your foot. A conventional lace comes with every Cloud for tighter lacing.
Runners who want a minimal running shoe with maximum cushioning
Made to run with ultimate lightness and comfort

168 g | 5.9 oz (US W 7)
The Cloud with Zero-Gravity foam and On's patented Swiss CloudTec® technology is the lightest running shoe in the world, with outstanding cushioning and impact protection. In other words, reduced to the pure maximum. Experience the combination of a soft landing with an explosive takeoff for an unbelievably light running sensation.
Right from the start, Swiss Olympic Gold medalist Nicola Spirig made the Cloud her shoe of choice: "I even realized a new personal best in my first race after the Olympics with the Cloud". At the 2014 European Athletics Championships in Zurich, Nicola set her new personal record at the marathon distance with 2:37:12. But that wasn't enough. In December 2014, she entered new territory: She laced up her Cloud for her first Ironman race in Cozumel, Mexico - and won the race running the 41.2 kilometers in 3:06:19 - after a 3.8 kilometer swim and a 180 kilometer bike ride.
In 2015 the Cloud was awarded the prestigious Gold Award at ISPO, the international sporting goods trade fair, as the 2015 best performance running shoe. "The Cloud from the young Swiss running shoe brand On attracts runners and athletes of all endurance sports. It is a lightweight training shoe, yet it provides comfortable cushioning through the special cushioning system of the midsole and outsole construction. The stylish upper material is very breathable and a true design statement for running shoes". Urs Weber, from Runner's World and in the ISPO-Jury
Absolutely the best sneakers I've had, yet. I'm traditionally a Salomon buyer-- for the look, wear and tear, and performance. The Clouds gave me the look, a better fit, lighter feel, AND the wear and tear. Definitely my go-to sneakers, now. Great job.
From monday to sunday, this is the only thing your feet is gona ask you!!!
Light, fresh and responsive, exceptional quality and a very good costumer service!
This is the only running shoe i have bought second time, and they are going with me to the IronMan!
I am very pleased!
I switched from using Brooks Pureflow / Karhu to using Cloud about a year ago. Many niggles that I used to have with my knees have simply disappeared. They are super responsive yet comfortable and I use them both for short repetitions and half marathons. I recently tried a run using my old trainers and it felt like having 2 plates strapped on the bottom of my feet! Cloud enable (for me at least) a much better posture and cadence. Totally hooked!

JLS to headline in Hyde Park
Boy band JLS are to headline an event in Hyde Park in July in one of their last shows before they split.
Live updates
Boy band to play alongside Beach Boys and Gruffalo
Soon-to-split boy band JLS are the latest headliners for a series of major outdoor shows in London's Hyde Park.
The group, who announced last month that they will call it a day after a farewell tour later in the year, will share a bill with The Beach Boys and The Saturdays.
They are to play the new festival Barclaycard Presents British Summer Time Hyde Park, performing at a family-friendly day of acts on Sunday July 7. The event also features performances of The Gruffalo and Horrible Histories stage shows.
Performers lined up for other days during the festival include The Rolling Stones, Bon Jovi and Sir Elton John. Jennifer Lopez and Lionel Richie were unveiled yesterday as the stars topping the bill at the finale concert on July 14.
Rob Hallett of promoter AEG Live said of the latest line-up: "I have always wanted to promote a show where you can take your kids and your parents. Junior can be enthralled with the Gruffalo and your daughter can scream at JLS while your parents dance around to The Beach Boys."

Preds Go Defense with 11th Pick
Posted on 27 Jun 2009 by Victor Minicozzi.
The Predators decided to go for another defenseman with a big shot, Ryan Ellis with the 11th overall pick in the draft. This will be a puzzling pick for the Preds fans as the organization is very rich in defensemen and lacks any scoring power up front. I like the pick because this kid is a puck moving defenseman and with all the Preds strength on defense they don't really have a puck m...

Now Philadelphia Athletes Are Getting A Reputation To Match Their Fans
July 1, 2009 – 9:10 am by Jimmy ShapiroI stress the word reputation because the stigma for Philadelphia fans is a bit unfair. There are unruly fans in every stadium and arena around the country. Even in Utah! When I went to an Eagles game in San Francisco in 1995, the Eagles got off to a 14-0 lead and me and my buddy where cheering like crazy. Next thing I know I'm getting pelted in the back of the head by an aluminum foil ball. I turn around to confront the guy that threw it and it's a Rastafarian looking dude with no legs in the wheelchair section. Cowardly by the Bob Marley wannabe, but needless to say I wasn't about to throw down with a paraplegic. So you see, Philadelphia didn't corner the market on incorrigible fans. They're tame in comparison to a European soccer game and their championship celebration for the Phillies had less police incidents than just about every other city that's recently won a title.
Back to the story at hand…Robert Eaton at a Tampa Bay Rays home game claims he was struck by Phillies reliever J.C. Romero. Eaton said he asked for an autograph and after getting rebuffed by Romero started in with the steroid remarks (here's the story). On a side note, autographs are lame. Especially when it's a grown man asking for them. Grow the eff up, it's just a signature on a piece of paper. After the remarks, that's were it reportedly got physical. If the story is true, Romero needs to just walk away. I know it's easier said than done and that Robert Eaton is a tool for saying that, but that's unfortunately part of today's game. If this happened in Philadelphia, we'd be reading another story about snowballs and Santa Claus and how the Philadelphia sports fans are the worst.
Robert Eaton and his lawyer Jim Magazine joined WIP in Philadelphiato discuss their side of the story. Eaton talks of a neck injury and I can totally see a Brady Bunch type neck brace in court setting for this clown.
What happened?
"Thursday in Tampa after the baseball game, I went down to the wall, pretty close to the bullpen as far as where the Phillies pitchers were and tried to get some autographs from the players. They all kind of shrugged me off. JC Romero was the last one, he left the bullpen by himself. After he shrugged me off, I made a comment to him about his steroid use. He stopped right in his tracks, he approached me at the wall where I was standing and he proceeded to me and told me to shut the F up and that I didn't know what I was talking about. I told him I know he did 50 games for steroids. When he proceeded to tell me to shut the F up, I said, "the fact of it is you served 50 games for steroids." At that time, that's when he physically touched me."
Is he a Phillies fan?
"I'm a Rays fan but I'm also a huge sports fan. I'm like a kid in a candy store when it comes to getting into sports game. I have eight autographs I got from games this year. I just love all sports, it doesn't matter what team, I just love that aspect, that privilege to interact with these guys and get autographs."
What now?
"I was physically hurt. I have a neck injury right now. [Attorney chimes in] Right now, we haven't determined the nature and extent of the injury. We'll be seeking compensation for the medical bills and the injuries he sustained. We sent a letter to the Phillies and Mr. Romero and we'll send him all the documentation outlining the nature and extent of his injuries. If we can resolve it without a lawsuit, we'll be happy to do so."

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — Citigroup and four other banks had their capital plans rejected by the Federal Reserve on Wednesday, in news that comes as a rebuke for the sprawling lender.
Citi C, +1.52% did not make sufficient progress in improving risk-management and control practices, the Fed found.
In a statement, Citi CEO Michael Corbat did not hide his disappointment. "Needless to say, we are deeply disappointed by the Fed's decision regarding the additional capital actions we requested," he said. The bank will continue to pay a penny a share dividend and continue its $1.2 billion stock buyback program. The news sent the stock down 4% in after-hours trade. Citigroup said it had asked to raise the quarterly dividend to 5 cents, and its share buyback program to $6.4 billion.
Citi recently disclosed a loss of as much as $400 million in its Banamex unit, news that triggered fresh concerns about the risk controls in place at the bank.
The rejection is especially ignominious since Citigroup had its capital plans rejected by the Fed once before, in 2012 — a development that likely helped lead to the ouster of then-CEO Vikram Pandit.
CLSA analyst Mike Mayo called the rejection a "shocker." He noted that Citigroup's projected capital levels were higher than the Fed required (6.5%, compared to the 5% minimum), and wondered if the development represented a new level of "Big Brother Banking."
Citi was by far the biggest lender to be rebuked by the Fed. The U.S. arms of HSBC Holdings HSBC, +0.29% the Royal Bank of Scotland RBS, +1.17% and Santander SAN, -0.25% also had their plans rejected, though that just means payments to their foreign parents will be restricted to last year's levels. Zions ZION, +2.32% had already announced that it was going to resubmit its capital plan.
Rival Bank of America BAC, +1.46% was required to pare back its capital plan, but still managed to increase its dividend to 5 cents a share from a penny as it authorized a $4 billion stock repurchase program. Like Bank of America, Goldman Sachs GS, +1.28% had to pare back its initial plans and it didn't disclose either its new dividend or buyback plans.
A Federal Reserve official said both banks resubmitted the plans on Saturday after seeing the quantitative results released last week.

Be sure to serve this with thick slices of good bread to soak up the dressing.
Leave a Review
This is excellent, simple and delicious! I added some chopped romaine and served with grilled pita bread.
This is perfect as it is written. Every summer there are some gatherings that I get invited to b/c of this salad, I am asked: Can you please bring that Tomato salad you make with Feta olives and Parsley, the secret is that you MUST let it sit for at least an hour to soak the flavors, it is great b/c you can make it ahead and let it marinade while you do other things. I always bring back a completely clean and empty plate, I serve it with thickly sliced Ciabatta bread so people can soak up all the juices.
The lack of spice in this makes it pale next to other fresh tomato salad recipes. There are many other similar ones out there with better taste.
This is THE recipe for summer tomatoes. I added garden cukes & capers. It's the standard now for us. Very easy & spot-on mix of flavors.
This was easy and very good with paper thin slices of red onion. Used rice vinegar and liked it very much. Letting it sit an hour is key.
This is nice and easy and makes a nice presentation. I used fresh basil instead of the parsley and only made half the amount of dressing which seemed like plenty.
I am one of those unfortunate people who love raw onions, but onions don't love me. Instead of using raw onions in this recipe, I carmelized some onions and topped my tomatoes with them, along with a good quality feta and pitted, chopped kalamata olives. The carmelized onions added a lovely smokey-sweet flavour to this dish, and my husband went nuts for it! I also used basil instead of parsley and substituted white balsamic for the red wine vinegar, which is not quite as heavy and sweet as red balsamic. I will get a lot of mileage out of this recipe this summer...
This is sooooooo good! Do yourself a favour and buy the best feta you can find. (preferably Greek/goat's milk)
I make this alot but always substitute minced or pressed garlic for the onion and its a big hit. Fast, easy, and always gets compliments and requests for the recipie.
Basil goes much better than parsley here. Also added cukes and capers. Use red ripe tomatoes. Excellent and easy salad.

- - lap band proceedure for riders???
lap band proceedure for riders??? Does anyone out there have experience or know anyone who has had the lapband proceedure and continued riding? My Dr. says it is ok, but I want to hear it from some equestrians. I still train, jump, and do horse trials, and there is no way I want to jepordize my riding. |
I didn't have lap, bit had gastric bypass, doesn't affect my riding in any way. I know lots of girls on the thinner times board who are banders and ride still with no issues. Feel free to pm me if you want. It was the best choice of my life. Posted via Mobile Device |
lapband and riding Thanks for the feedback cakemom. I'm wondering what was the oldest rider who had the proceedure and are any of the jumpers? I still compete cross country over fences, and to not expect to come off would be foolish. I don't qualify for gastro, but my ortho doc understands my lifestyle and has recommended me for the proceedure. If I take off 35 lbs my joints will love me forever. Also, a not very happy colleague of mine complains bitterly of her proceedure of 5 yrs ago. She claims to be hungry all the time...of course she has lost 40 lbs in the last 5 yrs!!! I am 56 and still would rather be jumping than just about anything else on the planet. :-) |
I have lost 200 lbs. I'm 36 and have been thrown by my greenie about 20 times this year. I clean 16-18 stalls one day every week, etc....life did not get harder, it got easier. What do I recommend? 35 lbs you can lose with a protein shake based diet. Two shakes, a healthy snack or two and a healthy meal a day. 80 minutes of exercise, 80 oz water, 80 grams protein a day. In the 4 months I did this I lost 60 lbs. I use an albumin based low carb protein shake. I did more physical activity at 330 lbs than most people do in a day. At the weight I am now I run circles around everyone i know, and have fibromyalgia. If your friend is always hungry her band is being mismanaged and she's washing through. ALL things have rules that can't be broken without consequence. Good luck!! Posted via Mobile Device |
I had the gastric sleeve.. It is wonderful!!!! I was not a sweet eater (not that I didn't eat sweets but didn't crave theml) I was a volume and carb eater. I am sooo happy I had the sleeve done! My doctor told me to stay off the horses for 5 weeks after surgery. he did ask if I could guarentee (sp) not to fall then I could ride immediately.. since I could not guarentee coming off my mare.. I had to wait for 5 weeks... I have not lost all my weight... I've only been sleeved 2 months but it has already made a big difference in my riding, my balance and my attitude!!! Rhonda |
TalleyHo, it sounds very drastic to go through a procedure just to lose 35 pounds, I understand it's a huge issue for you, but to those of us with a 3 figure weight issue would love to have your problem:wink: I have to say that when I was researching into having surgery I came across Medifast and thought, Mmmm lets try that and the results were spectacular, I lost 130 pounds in 18 months, the first few months were spectacular, but then I lost my Mum, and lost my way for a few months, then had to get back on board. With 35 pounds to lose, a couple of months full commitment would see that gone, just something to think about. Now the down side, 18 months further on and I ma back to square one, how freaking stupid is that. Next Monday is the first day of another new start for me, and I'm still deciding what diet to go with, but it needs to work, I HAVE to get back into some of my show clothes ASAP:lol: Rhonda, tell me more about the gastric sleeve, haven't heard of that one, |

Moores, Thomas S. and Castle, Keri C. and Shaw, Karen L. and Stockton, Michael R. and Bennett, Michael I. (2007) Memorable patient deaths : reactions of hospital doctors and their need for support. Medical Education, 41 (10). pp. 942-946. ISSN 0308-0110
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
Objectives To investigate the reactions experienced by hospital doctors following a recent memorable patient death, defined as a patient death that had occurred in the previous few months that the doctor recollected for any particular reason, the coping strategies employed to deal with these reactions, the impact of training, and the need for support in future situations. Methods We carried out a descriptive survey in 2 teaching hospitals and 1 district general hospital in West Yorkshire, UK. Subjects comprised 188 hospital doctors of all grades (from pre-registration house officer to consultant) who were attending 12 educational lunchtime meetings. Main outcome measures included the associations between the intensity of emotional and physical reactions measured using a categorical rating scale, and exposure to previous training, gender, seniority and medical specialty. Results Reactions of moderate to severe intensity to a patient death were experienced by 5.0–17.5% of doctors, regardless of gender, seniority or medical specialty. Perceived need for both training and increased support from team members was significantly associated with more intense reactions. Common coping strategies included talking, spending time alone and exercise. There was no relationship between respondents' exposure to previous training and the intensity of emotional or physical responses. Conclusions Many doctors perceive that they deal with death well. In a minority of doctors, more supportive approaches are necessary that may include both proactive and reactive measures. Examples include raising awareness of support services and establishing formal training programmes, and increasing awareness among senior clinicians of the need to support some team members after a patient's death, which may include ensuring that timely access to a counsellor is provided.

Encore Theatre
5308 Melrose Avenue,
Los Angeles,
7 people favorited this theater
In operation as the Melvan Theatre from at least 1941, it later became the Encore Theatre.
From July 11, 1980 it was taken over by Laemmle and was re-named Continental Theatre playing mainly foreign films.
Recent comments (view all 41 comments)
From the early 1950s The Mel-Van Theater was used exclusively by KTLA to broadcast their musical TV productions – "Dixieland Showboat", "Bandstand Revue", "Dixieland Showboat", "The Ina Ray Hutton Show and "Western Varieties".
"Queen for a Day", a Ralph Edwards Production was televised from the Aquarius Theater, across the street from The Hollywood Palladium.
This is from the LA Times on 10/17/50:
Ina Ray Hutton's show tonight inaugurates KTLA's new studio theater. It's the old Melvan house that, although vacated, carried the slogan "Movies are Better than Ever" on its dusty marquee.
The picture from google up above shows the opposite side of the street, but if you rotate around you can see where it once was.
While it's always heartbreaking when a movie theater is demolished, this particular one at least remains in the movie biz.
This is the site of Raleigh Studios. It's had different names over the years, but Raleigh is the current name of the studio. Obviously the building there now is one of the newer ones on this studio lot, but you can see some of the older buildings of the studio behind it.
And, they use their studio for movie screenings. So while the theater itself is gone, you can still go see movies along this block of Melrose Ave.
looking at the pics posted of the original theater, I noticed how that strip of Melrose looks very similar to the strip of buildings between Van Ness & Wilton Place.
5308 Melrose is definitely now the one big building that stretches from one end of the block to the other.
A bit off topic I guess, but there was also an old ice skating rink right around there.
I worked as projectionist in the late sixties when it was run by Louie Federici, in fact, it was there I was trained to be an operator. The bill was mainly the better foreign films. Louie had the lens, masking and apertures so all those foreign films could be shown correctly. Once he had at great effort obtained Fellini's personal copy of "La Strada" since it had been shot in English, then dubbed into Italian, and then the dubbed version was subtitled back to English. That was a concession to Anthony Quinn, and it helped that Guiellte Messini's spoke English. The audience complained thinking they were seeing a dubbed print, (they were snooty about that), so Louie in disgust returned the original version and played the subtitled Italian dubbed version for the rest of the run.
It is true the Encore served Sunday mornings as a meeting place for the fledgling Metropolitan Community Church led by Rev. Troy Perry as a welcoming church for gays of all faiths. The chief projectionist Willie Smith was MCC's musical director and persuaded Louie Federici to let the church use it before the Sunday matinees.
The Encore theater was a great repertory house for old 30s-60s movies and foreign films. Two friends and I saw "Swing Time" there on a long smoke-filled Hollywood weekend in 1969. The lobby held a bizarre 5-foot image of the owner, and the theater part faced sideways behind the deep-red velour drapes that covered all the walls. A unique theater, like all the other disappeared theaters in L.A. irreplaceable.
I remember it as the Continental but never went. Yet, in my archives of Ephemora, which i must dispense of, I found their program as the Encore! ca. 1974?
My folks took me to see Dixie Showboat, Ina Ray, Harry Babbit, Perez Prado, and one other Big Band at the Encore Theater. Great memories.
