Gordon Ramsay has blown his top more times than most of us have had hot dinners.
Decades into his career and there's no sign of the British chef mellowing, especially judging by the returning Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares.
So in celebration of Ramsay's unrivalled ability to rant, while simultaneously being highly amusing and making sense, here are his five best blow-ups.
There's everything from former politician turned reality TV star Edwina Currie meeting her match in the form of the very sweary chef, a customer who probably is sorry he ever tried to complain about his stake and several chefs who really shouldn't have bothered to turn up that day.
And if you think something as innocuous as pumpkin couldn't get Gordon into a rage then you haven't been paying much attention because the Halloween staple provides a nice excuse for a raging blow out.
Check out Gordon's angriest moments below:
Warning NSFW: These videos contain language that some viewers may find offensive.
This is why it's called Hell's Kitchen
Don't talk in the presence of Ramsay
The chef pops a vein over some pumpkin in Hell's Kitchen USA
Proving Currie is definitely not his favourite dish on Hell's Kitchen

The Whitefield Brothers: In The Raw (2xLP, 2001/Re 2009)
Now-Again Records NA5039
Used tags: funk
A new and unplayed item, the cover is graded EX due to some very light corner wear from transport.

"Very possibly Soul Fire's finest full-length to date (at least when it was released in early 2002), the Whitefield Brothers' debut album, In the Raw, is a stomping, muscular, fantastically heavy set of instrumental funk that packs a mighty wallop ... It's an exhilarating listen, and raises hopes that Soul Fire will continue to come up with funk sounds this fresh." (AllMusic)
"The good folks at Now-Again have done the world a favor by re-releasing this 2001 gem by Munich-born Afrobeat nuts Jan and Max Whitefield, a disc long out-of-print and impossible to find. An amazing tour through the best flavors of the soul-funk-jazz continuum, In the Raw offers in one tidy package the fuzz-drenched eroticism of "Prowlin'," the post-Miles brujería of "Witch Jam," and the glorious "Eji," a piece that updates the revered early-1970s Blue Note sides and takes a step beyond in the progression from Horace Silver to Mulatu Astatke ... Bottom line: you really want to pick this one up." (Boston Phoenix)

In doing your investment research, you may have come across a Tic-Tac-Toe-like box similar to the one below. This box is called the Morningstar Style Box. This particular one came from Vanguard 500 Index (VFINX) profile on Yahoo! Finance.
Morningstar Style Box is a visual tool created by Morningstar, a premier mutual fund data sources provider. Morningstar helps make asset allocation decision easier by categorizing mutual funds by their market capitalization and valuation to nine categories.
Market capitalization is the market price of an entire company, calculated by multiplying the number of shares outstanding by the price per share. Morningstar categorizes a fund's market capitalization by studying the size of the companies that the fund is investing in. There are three categories: large, medium, and small. In general, the largest 250 stocks are considered large cap, the next 750 are considered medium cap, and the rest are considered small cap.
In term of risk/reward relationship, large cap companies tend to be more stable and provide lower rate of return due to its relative safety. On the other hand, small cap companies tend to be more risky and volatile, thus provide higher rate of return as risk premium.
Valuation is based on two calculations:
For both ratios, lower number generally means that the company is undervalued (underpriced) relative to its earning or book value. However, this could also means that there is something fundamentally wrong with the company — i.e., bad management — therefore the price is being pushed down. These companies are called value stocks.
On the other hand companies that has high P/E and P/B are expensive (overpriced) relative to its earning or book value. This usually means that investors have high hope for the company and expect the earning or the book value to catch up to the stock price. These companies are called growth stocks.
Lastly, blend simply means that the company is in the middle relative to value-growth scale.
There is no right way to use the box. At the minimum, it's a great tool to assist you in building an investment portfolio, since a typical asset allocation calls for investing in large cap, mid cap, small cap, and international funds.
Personally, I use the Morningstar Style Box along with other metrics such as: sector, region (i.e., U.S., Europe, Asia, etc.), and total expense ratio to decide what fund(s) I want to add to my existing portfolio. At the every least, I like the corners to be balanced — i.e., large value, large growth, small value, and small growth are similarly represented in the portfolio — with slight bias toward value funds due to my frugal nature.
Additional articles about Morningstar Style Box:
Thanks for putting this together. You know, many people use Morningstar's star rating, but fail to look deeper at the style box and accompanying charts, sector information, and list of largest assets held. For me, this is where the Morningstar service is most helpful in diversifying a portfolio and balancing risk.

Note to Readers: The middle of race season is approaching and the biggest races are looming ahead. As the pressure mounts, I figured that all kinds of psychological issues are coming up for racers and parents alike. So, I thought I would devote the next few weeks to answering questions from you. If you have a psychologically oriented question that I can help you find an answer for, please post it in the comments section at the end of this article. I'll choose a few each week.
Let me begin this article with a simple reality: we live in a world where results matter. Your children don't get ahead in their ski racing—or their education or other extracurricular activities—because they are hard workers or good kids. Rather, they advance in life because they get results.
Of course, you can't ensure your children's results for one simple reason: you can't control everything that contributes to the results your children get. Contrary to the arguments presented by Malcolm Gladwell in Outliers and Dan Coyle in The Talent Code, genetics play a huge role in athletic success and you just can't control the genes you give your children. All you can do is help them to create an environment that will encourage their best efforts. And the best you can hope for is for those efforts to result in your children fully realizing whatever ability you endowed them with genetically.
One key contributor to this complicated calculus involves what your racers should focus on to produce the results they want. Unfortunately, many parents and coaches have some misconceptions about this very issue. Many believe that for children to get the results they want they need to focus on those results. This approach makes intuitive sense because, as the saying goes, "you want to keep your eye on the prize." So, parents and coaches talk to their racers about race results, check point profiles, and follow qualification procedures, all in the name of making sure their racers are focused on the results they want to achieve.
Paradoxically though, this "outcome focus" actually interferes with children getting the results they want for two reasons. First, when does the outcome of a ski race occur? When they cross the finish line, naturally. So, if racers are focused on the finish area, what are they not focusing on? That essential segment that begins at the starting gate, continues down the entire course, and concludes at the finish line. In other words, if racers are focused on the result, they're not focused on the process, that is, what they need to do to ski as fast as they can from the start to the finish. Quite simply, without this "process focus," there is no possible way for racers to achieve their desired results.
Second, if racers are focused on the result, it is likely to cause worry about whether they will achieve that result and the potential consequences of failure. And if this worry is powerful enough, which it is for many of the young athletes I work with, it will trigger their fear of failure, a reaction that I have found is epidemic in our succeed-or-you-are-a-loser culture. This fearful response causes a variety of psychological and physical reactions that make it even less likely that racers will ski their best and produce the result they want. For example, a preoccupation with worry and fear acts as a major distraction for racers trying to focus on skiing their best. It also hurts their confidence because they're focused on bad things that might happen in the race. This worry also does them no favors physically where they experience anxiety and its symptoms including restricted breathing, muscle tension, and a loss of motor coordination.
So, a refresher: talking about and having your children focus on results will prevent them from achieving the results they (and you) want. What to do then?
Here's another paradox. By focusing on the process and not thinking about results at all, your children are more likely to get the results they want. How is that possible?, you might ask. It's pretty obvious once you think about. If your children are focused on the process, that is, what they need to do to ski their best (e.g., focus on their equipment, skiing and physical warm-up, inspection, mental preparation), they're more likely to ski their best. And if they ski their best, they're more likely to get the results they want.
So, what lesson can we draw from this perspective? Four words: Don't talk about results… ever (okay, that was five words)! Don't talk about results the week before, the night before, the day of, or the day after races. You just don't need to. When your kids have a great result, they know it's a good thing; you don't need to tell them. If they have a lousy result, they don't need to dwell on it by your talking about it. Your children need your support and encouragement and, perhaps, the message that it's no big deal. Then, they need to get that bad result out of their head (after exploring why they didn't ski well) and look to what they need to do to ski better next race.
If you really want to help your children ski their best and achieve the results they want, I encourage you to focus on what I call the Five P's:
Perspective involves not being worried about your children's short-term results and focusing on their long-term personal and athletic development.
Positive means focusing on maintaining a positive attitude and high motivation even when the results are not what your children want.
Process relates to the theme of this article, namely, that you should focus only on what your children need to do to ski their best and not think about results.
Present involves always focusing on the here-and-now, rather than past failures (there is a saying that "you can't change the past, but you can ruin a perfectly good future worrying about it") or future possibilities (the only way to control the future is to control the present).
Progress means not comparing your children to other racers, but rather focusing on how they are developing physically, technically, tactically, and mentally toward their goals.
If you can maintain this focus and avoid falling into an outcome focus, you give your children a wonderful gift that will help them to keep a healthy focus too, even in this world where results matter.

Large trawler to start fishing in South Coast waters
The large fishing trawler that pulled into Ulladulla Harbour this week is here to supply fresh fish to Sydney and Melbourne fish markets.
The 40-metre vessel, the Saints Antonio and Giuseppe, will begin fishing off the South Coast including off Narooma and Bermagui this month, but will not permanently be based out of Ulladulla.
An Australian Fisheries Management Authority (AFMA) spokesperson said the boat would "commence fishing from early October".
The boat's owner, known only as Tony, said the boat would supply fish to Australian markets only.
"We are fishing to a science-based quota set by AFMA that we will not go anywhere close to catching," he told the Milton Ulladulla Times on October 5.
"Global warming is the only thing that would drive fish stocks to extinction on the South Coast.
"We are an Australian owned business that owns five fishing vessels, supplying fresh fish to Melbourne and Sydney fish markets.
"I wont affect fish stocks."
Tony said he was "against the Geelong Star".
He said the boat was not a super trawler and would not be based out of Ulladulla full time. It may go to Eden, Sydney and Tasmania, Tony said.
The AFMA spokesperson said catch limits for target species were set in line with the Small Pelagic Fishery harvest strategy, a set of "strict guidelines".
"AFMA's conservative, science-based catch limits in Commonwealth fisheries help ensure that Australians can continue to enjoy the full range of benefits from our oceans, be it fresh Australian seafood, or from throwing a line in on the weekend," they said.
"The fishery is managed through a total allowable catch and quota system, which restricts the catch of each target species to sustainable levels, irrespective of the number or size of boats that fish."
The Milton Ulladulla Times understands the Saints Antonio and Giuseppe trawler will be targeting mackerel.
The AFMA spokesperson said Small Pelagic Fishery mid-water trawler operators must have a vessel management plan, which is approved by AFMA.
"The plan outlines monitoring and reporting requirements as well as bycatch mitigation devices and procedures that apply to that vessel," they said.
The Small Pelagic Fishery Industry Association has been contacted for comment.

Remember, Remember!
We all know that the 5th November means that thousands of people across the whole of the UK will be celebrating Bonfire Night with fireworks, hot dogs and open fires! The annual celebration commemorates the events of 1605, when Guy Fawkes was caught guarding explosives which had been placed beneath the House of Lords; today known as "The Gunpowder Plot." The 'burning of the Guy' is a popular ritual that many partake in on the 5th November which sees a dummy representing Guy Fawkes being burnt.
Whilst the UK has been known to host some pretty magnificent fireworks displays, many would argue that France is a particularly beautiful spot to catch a glimpse of the illuminating sky on Bonfire Night and many other occasions throughout the year:
Cannes International Festival: Running from 1967, the festival is known for it's stunning firework displays and is even referred to by locals as the Festival of Pyrotechnic Art. The displays are truly breath taking and involve competitors attempting to provide the most innovative and spectacular display to get top marks from the on looking judging panel. There have been a host of stars in the Pyrotechnic world attend the festival over the years, including Kimbolton from the UK and Parente Fireworks from Italy.
Bastille Day: Bastille Day is celebrated across France and is a festivity of all things French. Thousands of pounds go into the breath taking fireworks display which mark the storming of the Bastille and an end to the monarchy. The 2014 parade took place along the stunning Champs Elysee and provided the perfect back drop to the stunning Eiffel Tower.
Festival Pyromelodigue: The Cote d Azur festival always marks the end of Summer in France, and it truly goes off with a bang! Set on the French Riviera, the Antibes festival illuminates the sky after sunset. The event is free to attend and has three displays throughout summer that the public are free to attend; just take a little money for food and drink.

The winged disc is a common religious icon for many ancient civilizations. However, it is most commonly associated with Egyptian and Mesopotamian cultures. The symbol has also been found in the records of ancient cultures residing in various regions of South America as well as Australia. While the symbol is associated with the sun, a closer inspection of ancient wall reliefs, Sumerian seals, and free masonic symbolism reveal a different interpretation.
In the earliest depictions of the winged disc found in Mesopotamia we find it surrounded by 3 other celestial objects. One is star like, with rays representing the sun. (circled in purple), another is a crescent or full moon (circled in green) surrounded by 7 stars representing the Pleiades star cluster also known as the 7 sisters (circled in green). The winged disc (circled in red) being the central and most important symbol, matches with no known celestial object, at least in our present sky.
Freemasonry has been studying ancient religions and esoteric traditions since at least the 1700's when their first lodge was created. They have adopted many ancient symbols in their organization, and in their artwork, we can find the winged disc and same configuration of celestial objects.
In George Washington's Masonic apron, the first degree masonic trace board and other illustrations we find the sun, the moon surrounded by 7 stars, and an all seeing eye which replaces the winged disc. In other depictions of the same artwork the all seeing eye is replaced by the more modern pyramid top with an eye inside. Many Masonic lodges and churches use the pyramid with the eye symbol alone, just like the winged disc symbol adorned the many sacred ancient sites.
The only thing that Freemasonry changed from the original configuration of celestial objects was the winged disc for an all seeing eye. In ancient Egypt the winged disc was represented without the other celestial bodies. Likewise the all seeing eye is presented alone like in the back of the US one dollar bill.
In the first degree masonic tracing board we find 3 pillars and a stairway leading up to the all seeing eye, like a stairway to heaven. In the book of Genesis Jacob has a dream in which he meets God who resides at the top of a ladder that reaches to heaven. After waking he raised a rock and set it up as a pillar to commemorate the event. In the ancient past the winged disk represented the home and source of power of the gods. The pillars in the tracing board may very well represent past interjections of a supreme being on planet earth.
While its hard to imagine a celestial object in the shape of an all seeing eye, a winged disc gives a better point of reference. What we know is that in the ancient past, we worshiped an object in the sky that was not our moon or sun. Today this object is still worshiped but in the different shape, that of a pyramid with an eye. This can be traced by studying the evolution in configuration of the winged disc depictions from ancient Mesopotamia till present. The Sumerians called this celestial body NIBIRU and recorded its behavior in stone tablets.
In the Babylonian creation myth the Enuma Elish we read, "Nibiru is [Marduk's] star, which he made appear in the heavens . . . The stars of heaven, let him [Nibiru] set their course; let him shepherd all the gods like sheep." For a celestial body to shepherd other planets like sheep its size or density must be very large. In the 1980's astronomers were able to pinpoint this planet and named it Planet X using the IRAS infrared telescope. In the early 80's articles posted in the Washington Times, New York Post, and the Encyclopedia Britannica scientists revealed that its size was bigger than that of Jupiter, large enough to overcome the magnetic and gravitational fields of every planet in our solar system. They reveled that Planet X was close enough to be part of our solar system but did not say the duration of its orbit. The winged disc or Planet X was not only a large heavenly object but the home of the Gods of antiquity.
While today's Royal families trace their kinship to ancient rulers, the royal families of the ancient past traced their lineage to the stars. More specifically, to the one celestial body which has been revered all throughout history, the winged disc. In the masonic tracing board we see a ladder leading up to the all seeing eye which represents the winged disc. This ladder has a striking similarity to Jacobs ladder, at the top of which he met God our creator. The pillars in the tracing board may represent previous encounters with Nibiru and interactions with the Gods of antiquity.

The Owen County Council for the Arts is partnering with the city of Gratz to present the eighth annual spring arts festival. This year's "Arts in the Park" will be held in Gratz, along the banks of the Kentucky River. It will include lots of possibilities to be on the river as well as near it, as the event celebrates the impact of the Kentucky River on Owen County and showcases its artists, craftspeople, music and food.
The festival will take place rain or shine from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, June 11.
With dogged and unflinching determination they met the enemy, and many gave their lives for a cause in which they believed.
A great tragedy unfolded when the enemy was a member of a soldier's own family, and during the Civil War, this scenario was played out between more Kentuckians than any other people of the United States.
The Memorial Service for Aunt Bess, after months of planning by her daughter Ellen via phone and email from her home in Missouri, came together beautifully Sunday.

You might have heard about the fellow who climbed on the horse to take a ride, and then got frightened. He began to scream and holler for someone to stop the thing.
If the Kmart manager hadn't come out and unplugged it, that fellow feared he might have gotten hurt.

Weekend Gardener
Once again we enjoyed sweet potatoes all winter long from a fantastic harvest last fall. I planted out about 25 organic slips purchased from Country Corner Greenhouse in Shepherdsville in late May and by early November we had 4 nursery crates full of one of nature's perfect foods! 7 months and counting in storage with no spoilage is impressive. We are down to about a dozen sweet potatoes; just in time for a transition to other summer vegetables.

I'd like to make a shout out to my sister and brother-in-law in La Crosse. I heard this on NPR this morning and now I know why your kinky little 3rd congressional district covers the southwestern border of the state - because you cheeseheads like it HOT. Ohh yeah.
"Forget Las Vegas and New York! La Crosse, Wisconsin has to be America's next Super Sex Capital, and the 3rd district's congressman, Democrat Ron Kind, is apparently the Larry Flint of congress."Just what is THIS about, you ask? Well, you can see the ad for yourself right here.
Don't worry though, because "for the record, Ron Kind is about as straight laced as a Mormon Missionary. (And the money he allegedly funneled to the sex industry was a bipartisan measure to fund the National Institutes of Health)."
Whew!! You can hear the whole story on All Things Considered (it's about 4 minutes long). It's about YouTube being used as a vessel for the evil campaigning of twisted politicians. Good stuff, NPR! Way to keep my afternoon commute spicy!

Social Work
The Baccalaureate Social Work (BSW) program at Kutztown University - nationally accredited by the Council on Social Work Education - is a professional program that prepares generalist social work professionals.
Generalist social workers work with individuals, families, groups, communities and organizations in a variety of social work and host settings. Generalist practitioners view clients and client systems from a strengths perspective in order to recognize, support, and build upon the innate capabilities of all human beings. To do so, they recognize and celebrate the strengths within and among diverse groups. They use a professional planned change process to engage, assess, broker services, advocate, counsel, educate, and organize with and on behalf of clients and client systems. Generalist practitioners recognize the impact of social welfare policies upon these services and work to create and refine policies so that they are responsive to the needs of clients and client systems. In addition, generalist practitioners engage in community and organizational development. Finally, generalist practitioners evaluate service outcomes in order to continually improve the provision and quality of services most appropriate to client needs.
Generalist social work practice is guided by the NASW Code of Ethics and is committed to improving the well being of individuals, families, groups, communities and organizations and furthering human rights and social justice.
BSW Program Goals
- Goal 1 - Integrate Theory into Practice: To help graduates use critical thinking and integrate liberal arts and professional knowledge, values and skills into the development of a generalist perspective for social work practice with individuals, families, groups, communities and organizations.
Goal 2 - Celebrate Diversity: To help graduates recognize the value of human diversity, acquire knowledge related to diverse populations for professional practice, and acquire skills for change to redress economic and social injustice.
- Goal 3 - Conduct Policy Practice: To prepare graduates to understand social policy and its impact upon professional practice and to participate in efforts to assure that policy responds to human needs.
- Goal 4 - Assume Professional Identity: To motivate graduates to assume responsibility for continuing professional growth and development.
Advanced Standing Status
Graduates of the BSW program are eligible for admission into a Master of Social Work (MSW) program with advanced standing. They can complete an MSW at KU or any other accredited social work program in the US in as little as one calendar year.
Minor in Social Work
Students may elect to add Social Work as a minor. This program includes 18 semester hours of required courses in the social work field.
Career Opportunities

Ooops, my mistake, not sure why I thought that was an option.
Do away with the equals sign in setting the global macro and try some
single quotes around the scalar, and then encapsulate in double quotes
because its a string...

Do bear in mind though that there are limits on macro lenghts (see
-man limits- in the version of Stata you are using).

Nothing in the help for -clear- indicates that it will destroy
macro's, nor does the -insheet, clear- option either. Try it out and
see what happens!

A prospective, multicenter, cross-sectional study of adults and children with URIs was performed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the FebriDx test to identify clinically significant bacterial infections with host response and acute pathogenic viral infection in patients who presented with a history of fever in the outpatient setting. The clinical data published in an article entitled, "Diagnostic Accuracy of FebriDx: A Rapid Test to Detect Immune Responses to Viral and Bacterial Upper Respiratory Infections" on October 7, 2017 in the Journal of Clinical Medicine.
RPS Diagnostics, Inc. (RPS®) today announces publication of a United States multicenter, prospective clinical study that demonstrates the accuracy of the FebriDx® test, a commercially-ready, 15-minute, single use, disposable, point-of-care diagnostic test capable of identifying clinically significant acute bacterial and viral respiratory tract infections by testing the body's immune response to infections.
Acute upper respiratory infections (URI) are the most common reason for oral antibiotic prescriptions in the U.S. Thirty to fifty percent of antibiotics used in the outpatient setting are inappropriate, resulting primarily from misuse of antibiotics to treat viral URI. Overuse of antibiotics leads to the development of antibiotic resistance, antibiotic-associated secondary infections, drug allergies, and increased costs. Proper antibiotic stewardship requires that clinicians use antibiotics for URIs only when adequate evidence for bacterial infection exists. However, there is a lack of available rapid diagnostic tests to assist primary and urgent care clinicians in the identification of clinically significant bacterial respiratory infections that necessitate antibiotic therapy, thus limiting outpatient antibiotic stewardship efforts.
Defining a clinically significant bacterial infection that requires treatment is important to help drive antibiotic stewardship. Bacterial colonization without infection occurs when microorganisms are detected without a significant associated systemic host response. The inability to differentiate bacterial colonization or local infection without an associated systemic host response from a clinically significant infection with an associated host response may result in unnecessary antibiotic prescriptions.
The FebriDx test uses proprietary technology to detect a combination of two biomarkers, myxovirus resistance A (MxA) – an intracellular protein that becomes elevated in the presence of acute viral infection and C-reactive protein (CRP) – an acute-phase inflammatory protein that is frequently elevated in the presence of bacterial infection. In isolation, neither MxA nor CRP alone is sensitive or specific at identifying both viral and bacterial infection. The addition of MxA to the analysis confers specificity to the CRP interpretation such that, taken together, it provides a sensitive and specific way to identify an immune response to a viral or bacterial infection.
"A combination of diagnostic uncertainty and both patient and parental pressures to prescribe antibiotics lead to unnecessary antibiotic prescriptions and directly contribute to the growing antibiotic resistance crisis, said Robert Sambursky, MD, RPS Diagnostics' President and Chief Technology/Medical Officer. "What makes FebriDx unique is its ability to shift antibiotic stewardship into the outpatient setting by providing tangible results for patients within 15 minutes without any ancillary equipment. These rapid results facilitate patient and practitioner confidence in clinical management and therapeutic decisions that could lead to withholding antibiotic prescriptions as part of a watchful waiting strategy."
A prospective, multicenter, cross-sectional study of adults and children with URIs was performed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the FebriDx test to identify clinically significant bacterial infections with host response and acute pathogenic viral infection in patients who presented with a history of fever in the outpatient setting. The clinical data published in an article entitled, "Diagnostic Accuracy of FebriDx: A Rapid Test to Detect Immune Responses to Viral and Bacterial Upper Respiratory Infections" on October 7, 2017 in the Journal of Clinical Medicine.
This study enrolled 370 patients, 205 symptomatic patients with URI and 165 asymptomatic patients from 10 clinical sites in the U.S., including academic emergency departments and community care centers. For bacterial detection, agreement between FebriDx and the reference standard was 92%, with FebriDx having a sensitivity of 80% and specificity of 93%. Bacterial sensitivity increased further in patients that had a confirmed fever at the time of enrollment. Most importantly, FebriDx demonstrated a negative predictive value (NPV) of 97% for bacterial infection. For viral detection, agreement was 84%, sensitivity ranged between 86-87%, specificity was 83-88%, and the NPV was 93-95% depending on the comparator method. Additionally, 38% of viral infections generated elevated CRP and would lead to antibiotic overtreatment if the CRP result was used independently of MxA.
"Robust clinical evidence as depicted in this trial will go a long way to support the international commercial launch of the FebriDx test that is anticipated for mid 2018," said Doug Lawrence, RPS Diagnostics' Chief Executive Officer.
Point-of-care diagnostic testing may help primary and urgent care clinicians cost-effectively manage patients presenting with clinical evidence of an acute febrile URI

Russia's Lukoil has announced that it has plans to develop an oilfield in Nigeria with the USA explorer Chevron
Both companies have, however, not yet divulged into the details of the project.
Vagit Alekperov, chief executive at Lukoil, said, "We have decided to enter a joint block with Chevron in a project in Nigeria, which we consider to be promising."
The deal is reportedly seen as part of Lukoil's push to seek opportunities away from Russia's state-dominated oil sector. The Russian firm also hopes to double its oil output outside of Russia due to its most ambitious project, West Qurna-2, in Iraq.
According to Chevron's website, the Aparo field and the third-party-owned Bonga South West field in Nigeria share a common geological structure. It plans joint development for both.
Alekperov added that Lukoil expects its dividend payments next year to be at the same level as in 2014, while its investment programme will be cut by US$2bn to US$14bn.
Major oil companies have trimmed spending as oil prices drop, Reuters reported.

A coloured plan of the buildings and houses belonging to his Majesty's Office of Ordnance at Purfleet
Medium: Ink on paper
Date: 1770
Plan of Purfleet in Essex. A magazine in Woolwich was damaged in an explosion and Act of Parliament was passed and land was purchased at Purfleet for a new magazine. Five new buildings were erected, each measuring approximately 140ft by 20ft. When full each magazine could hold ten thousand barrels of gunpowder. The potential for an explosion meant that the magazines were built with very thick walls and were positioned in hollows in the ground so that any explosion would be forced upwards. The Magazines stood within approximately 25 acres of ground.

SPRINGFIELD, Ore., April 11 (UPI) -- The creator of "The Simpsons" said the city where his TV family lives is named after Springfield, Ore. -- a state Homer Simpson called "California's toupee."
"The only reason is that when I was a kid, the TV show 'Father Knows Best' took place in the town of Springfield, and I was thrilled because I imagined that it was the town next to Portland, my hometown," Matt Groening told Smithsonian magazine.
"When I grew up, I realized it was just a fictitious name," Groening said. "I also figured out that Springfield was one of the most common names for a city in the U.S. In anticipation of the success of the show, I thought, 'This will be cool -- everyone will think it's their Springfield.' And they do."
"Father Knows Best," which portrayed a middle-class Midwest family's life in the 1950s, starred Robert Young as Jim Anderson, a salesman and manager of Springfield's General Insurance Co.
Thirty-five U.S. cities and towns are named Springfield, with the Massachusetts Springfield the oldest, settled in 1636, and Missouri's the most populous, at 160,000.
Springfield, Ore., next to Eugene, was incorporated in 1885 and has a population of 60,000.
It doesn't look like the Springfield in the Fox Broadcasting Co. animated sitcom, whose geography and surroundings change for whatever an episode's plot calls for.
The show, which parodies American culture, has also been deliberately evasive about the subject, providing contradictory clues and impossible information about an actual geographic location.
Groening said he hadn't revealed which Springfield inspired the town because he didn't "want to ruin it for people, you know?"
"Whenever people say it's Springfield, Ohio, or Springfield, Massachusetts, or Springfield, wherever, I always go, 'Yup, that's right,'" he told the magazine.
The Homer Simpson character posted several messages on Twitter after the location was revealed, including:
"That's right, the Simpsons live in Oregon -- California's toupee"; "Crap, we live in Oregon? I mean, Go Ducks!" and "Congratulations, Oregon. Your taxes will pay for my jail time."
"The Simpsons," which debuted Dec. 17, 1989, and is in its 23rd season, will refer to Springfield's origins in the Bart Simpson chalkboard gag during the opening credits of Sunday's episode, Entertainment Weekly reported.

Michael Owen was on the mark again as Manchester United wrapped up the Malaysian leg of their Far East tour with another comfortable win.
Owen got United's second against a Malaysia XI, just two minutes after Federico Macheda's 11th-minute opener, which proved to be the end of the scoring for United, despite their domination.
Anderson and Nani both wasted decent opportunities near the end.
And, despite the supposedly friendly nature of the contest, Wayne Rooney had plenty of fire in him as he reacted badly to a penalty area challenge when really he would have been better advised to let the matter rest.
Given the humid conditions, it was hardly a surprise Sir Alex Ferguson fielded an entirely different starting line-up to the one he named for the first game between the teams on Saturday.
On that occasion, Owen grabbed the late winner to save his side's blushes in a less-than-convincing 3-2 win.
This time around, the former Liverpool striker scored the second, showing his usual predatory instincts after the home defence had made a woeful attempt at clearing a Zoran Tosic cross.
While no-one could doubt the enthusiasm of the home supporters, around 30,000 turned out at just 48 hours notice for a game hastily arranged after the Jakarta terrorist attack last Friday ruled out a planned visit to Indonesia, the opposition was not of high quality.
Better will be expected of FC Seoul on Friday, by which time United's fitness levels will have improved as a result of the training they have done in such intense heat.
Owen is certainly enjoying himself, and came close to grabbing his second when he met a low Tosic cross with a near-post flick that cannoned off the inside of a post.
Another forward with a desire to impress is Macheda, who made such a huge impression when he was introduced to senior ranks last term.
Now handed the coveted fourth striking berth following the exits of Cristiano Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez, the 17-year-old needs to prove he has the consistency to be an effective Premier League operator at such a young age.
There was plenty to be admired about the calm way he finished off a Ryan Giggs cross to open United's account just two minutes before Owen found the net.
Darron Gibson was one of those to impress, showing why Ferguson has handed him a new contract.
Wes Brown was the only man to complete a full 90 minutes, although the England star will probably be happy with that given the injury torment he went through last term, when a foot problem effectively wrecked his season.
There was still no goal for Dimitar Berbatov though as the Bulgarian nodded a free header straight at Mohammed Farizal Marlias.
And Anderson, who has never scored for United, missed another decent chance near the end.

Here are Charlie2010's choices:
From campy to a passionate romance, lesbian movies and films have always been a hot topic for many to watch.
While there are a multitude of movies, here are some of the top 10 greatest lesbian-themed movies.
Recruited by the U.S. government for their unique ability to lie, cheat and fight, Amy, Max, Janet and Dominique join an underground academy of secret agents known only as D.E.B.S. These crime fighting hotties set out to save the world and keep their lipstick perfectly applied while doing so. Now the girls must combine their skills for their most important mission- to capture vexing vixen Lucy Diamond, the deadliest criminal the world has ever known. When D.E.B.S. star player, Amy, falls for Lucy, chaos erupts and the D.E.B.S. loyalty is put to the test. The film is both a parody and an emulation of the Charlie's Angels format. The plot revolves around the lesbian love story between one of the heroes and the villain.
Rachel and Heck, long time friends and lovers, finally tie the knot, and during the celebration, Rachel starts a friendship with their florist, Luce. And while Rachel originally intended to match her new friend, Luce, up with her husband's friend, Cooper, she soon finds out that Luce is a lesbian. During the course of their friendship, Rachel starts to question her own sexuality. And though she comes to realize she may have feelings for her new friend, Rachel must decide who she will ultimately find the most happiness with: Heck, her new husband who is also adored by her family, or Luce, who has turned her life and everything she thought she knew about love upside down.
This "campy" lesbian movie starring Natasha Lyonne and released in 1999, depicts a cheerleader who, although dating a football player, has a family who is convinced she is a lesbian. She is sent to a "reform" school – True Directions – to undergo treatment to ward off her 'lesbian' feelings. What was meant to be a means of changing Megan into a heterosexual woman quickly backfires as she finds love with another woman at True Directions. She doesn't graduate from the school, but instead graduates into a love that she knows is true.
Marine officer Alexandra is tough enough to kick any guy's ass in a bar fight, but there's one opponent she can't beat: military policy. When she returns to her conservative hometown from Iraq with a mysterious personal life, she finds herself charged with preparing a tempestuous teenage girl to boot camp.
A young Russian woman named Natasha is soon to be married and is on holiday in Rome where she meets Alba. She accompanies Alba to her hotel room as a curious acquaintance and stays as a growing friend. In this room in Rome, the two women come to know one another intimately over the course of the night, and explore and discover themselves along the way. Only the break of day threatens to break their newly forged bond.
A story of love and lies for four twenty-somethings looking to find themselves in New York City. A pair of best friends and a seemingly perfect couple meet at a local Irish pub tucked in the winding streets of the West Village. Through their chance meeting, the four bond and over time all of their relationships with one another morph into love, betrayal and heartbreak for all.
Lost and Delirious is the story of three adolescent girls' first love, their discovery of sexual passion, and their search for identities. Set in a posh, private boarding school surrounded by luxuriant, green forest, Lost and Delirious moves swiftly from academic routine, homesickness, and girlish silliness to the darker region of lover's intrigue.
In the upper echelons of traditional Middle Eastern society, Reema and Omar prepare for the marriage of their daughter Tala. But back at work in London, Tala encounters Leyla, a young British Indian woman who is dating Tala's best friend Ali. Tala sees something unique in the artless, clumsy, sensitive Leyla who secretly works to become a writer. And Tala's forthright challenges to Leyla's beliefs begins a journey of self-awareness for Leyla. As the women fall in love, Tala's own sense of duty and cultural restraint cause her to pull away from Leyla and fly back to Jordan where the preparations for an ostentatious wedding are well under way. As family members descend and the wedding day approaches, the pressure mounts until Tala finally cracks and extricates herself. Back in London, Leyla is heartbroken but learns to break free of her own self-doubt and her mother's expectations, ditching Ali and being honest with her parents about her sexuality.
Gina Gershon and Jennifer Tilly play a fiery role with one another in this hot movie. Jennifer's character, Violet, is dating a shady man, Caesar. Corky, depicted by Gina, is a convicted criminal-turned-plumber. She arrives to Violet's apartment to fix needed repairs around the apartment only to fall into the catch of Violet's ways and try to steal millions of dollars from a mob only to blame it on Caesar. The passion between Violet and Corky ride a large wave of love and suspense.
America's first super model, Gia Carangi, who is played by Angelina Jolie, true story is displayed in this movie. Wilhelmina Cooper, Gia's agent, quickly takes Gia under her wing and takes her straight to the top with her modeling career. Once Wilhelmina passes away, Gia turns to a life of drugs and falls into a love affair with her make-up artist, Linda. While this movie can easily be seen as a heartbreaking film, it does show the reality of fame and the price of addiction.
This series of vignettes has some of today's hottest stars playing various lesbian roles. Each story takes place in the same house, but in different periods of time. Some stories playing beauty, others playing sorrow, love is the main theme that runs through the series of short stories in this movie.
An independent movie that isn't as well-known as others on this list but still deserve a nod is "Go Fish". The setting of this movie, which takes place in around a coffee shop settled in Chicago, offers a location of mystery and movie fuelled with love and scandals. The twists and turns of relationships and love affairs are prevalent throughout this movie and are what drives this film.
Maggie and Kim, the two main characters in "Better Thank Chocolate", are deeply in love and live with one another. Maggie's mother, Lila, goes through a divorce and moves to live with Maggie and Kim. Meanwhile, Lila meets a transgender woman, Judy, who is preparing to go through a sex-change operation. Lila quickly learns more about her daughter, her friend and her daughter's girlfriend during this exciting movie.
In what seems to be a fantasy to many people, Annabelle is a student at a Catholic boarding school who falls in love with her teacher. Throughout the movie, the thrill of love with the teacher and the teacher having intimate feelings towards her student in return repeat throughout this sultry movie. The twists of this film captures the interests to many who love a good love story.
"Monster" is based on the true story of Aileen Wuornos, one of the first American female serial killers. Aileen, who grew up with an abusive childhood, had a hard adult life that continued to follow her around. Using what she knew best, Aileen turned to a world of prostitution and along the way fell in love with another woman, Tyria Moore who was, as portrayed in the movie, unaware of the brutality that Aileen was akin to. During the movie is it shown that Tyria, or in the movie, Selby, would lie for Aileen, but at the time of testimony once arrested for murder, she did not defend her girlfriend, and Aileen was convicted of multiple murder charges of her Johns. Aileen died from lethal injection in October of 2002.
This light-hearted comedy follows the life of Jessica Stein who is on the search to find the perfect man. In the midst of her journey, Jessica finds that she falls in love with a woman instead. Jessica files a personal ad in the local newspaper looking for a female, and responds to an ad from Helen. She quickly learns that she is falling in love with her as she would with a man, but not admitting to her family that she is in a relationship with a woman proves turbulent in the relationship. Finding true love and working through the confusion of same-sex relationship is what keeps this movie a classic and relatable movie for many lesbians.

The »Reflective Haptics« touch pen is enabled to change its friction against on the screen.
This project investigates a new type of feedback for touch screen styli: frictional actuation. The proposed pen has a ball on its tip, which is connected to an electromagnetic coil. This coil serves as a brake to the ball, enabling fine-tuned control for the force required to drag the pen over the surface. For instance, this allows GUI elements with surface properties and weight.
In times of information overload, users often face great amounts of information to navigate through. The frictionally-augmented touch pen in this project can display the priority of a news item through the force that it requires to be scrolled by, making it easier to stop at those items that have been rated high by the community.
Being able to control the force that is necessary to move the pen over the surface enables the computer to make consequence-laden operations, e.g. signing a contract, harder to perform than less influential operations, e.g. signing a letter.
Our hands are skillful by themselves, but they may need material resistance to operate up to their full potential. Adding friction to some elements of a software, e.g. the guides within a layout software, can help us to make manipulatinig the digital space more realistic, leveraging on the inherent skills of the human hand.

The Church @ St. Charles
Deacon Ordination Service
Hitherto the disciples had been of one accord; this often had been noticed to their honor; but now they were multiplied, they began to murmur. The word of God was enough to take up all the thoughts, cares, and time of the apostles. The persons chosen to serve tables must be duly qualified. They must be filled with gifts and graces of the Holy Ghost, necessary to rightly managing this trust; men of truth, and hating covetousness. All who are employed in the service of the church, ought to be commended to the Divine grace by the prayers of the church. They blessed them in the name of the Lord. The word and grace of God are greatly magnified, when those are wrought upon by it, who were least likely.

Dance Dance Revolution: Hottest Party Mix (Wii)
Tagline: DDR makes its first appearance on the Wii!
Dance Dance Revolution: Hottest Party Mix
Publisher: Konami
Developer: Konami
Genre: Bemani
Date Release; 09/26/2007
You know, I have to admit I've never been a big fan of DDR. This is partly because I exercise a lot in real life and go clubbing regularly, so it seemed silly to play a video game that combines two things I do regularly already. After all, gaming was an escape, not a second rate version of what I do in my daily life. If I wanted that kind of experience from a console, I'd play Shenmue. That and I just felt silly playing it in the arcade.
Somewhere along the line, though I started to have fun with it. Not to the level, and certainly not the skill, of the bemani zealots like old IP'er Alex Williams, but enough that I would play it on occasion and enjoy it. Oddly enough he enjoyment came from reviewing games. Since I'm pretty much pegged as an RPG/Shooter/2-D fighter gamer, it was nice to step out of my box with dance games like Pump It Up and DDR Ultramix 3. Now that the other Alex is gone, it falls to me to review the newest version of this game for the Wii. I chose this over DDR Supernova 2 for the PS2 mainly to see how it would interact with the Wiimote and the like. I was a bit worried about the music selection for this game, and SN2 has one of my favorite songs of all time (Faster Kill Pussycat), but I'll go for innovation over a single song anyday. That and Supernova too got panned by most of my friends who really like DDR.
So, how is the umpteenth entry into the DDR series? Does the added gameplay make DDR even better, or are you glad you can have the option to play "Classic" style? Is it worth the $70 price tag, or are you going to have to wait until Guitar Hero III to see if there's a good rhythm game for Nintendo's current console?
Let's Review
There's nothing like getting ready for bed at 2:30am and you notice there is a voice mail on your cell from about two hours ago left by a drunk friend back in MN where the message consists of them telling you that they feel ye olde L word for you and wish you hadn't left.
Go Team Venture?
Friday was awesome. I had two great interviews with companies I'd have fun working for if the EA thing somehow falls through. I also got to recommend Jon Widro's new company, Fyrebug (Check it out in my blog roll) to the staff of Mount Vernon who wanted to know if they could make a simple video game based on George Washington.
Friday night was Submerge. Heather, Vlad, Michelle and I all left here about 8 pm and got the Roxy set up for what turned out to be a crazy awesome goth night. It's a small venue, a fraction of the size of the places in MN I would occasionally attend, and for a first night with only 2 weeks of promotion, we had a turn out of 100 people. Some points it was shoulder to should goth. Big thanks to DJ Warring, Vlad, Heather, Dana, Jay, and Michelle for making the first club night pretty damn kick ass.
I got to play bouncer and gatekeeper throughout the night, denying more than 1 person with a fake ID and actually getting to throw someone out. That person Ithrew out then took a swing at Andrew, one of the patrons and I damn near dropped the cash box and speared the guy for that. Other than that a a weird bit of feedback from a mike that turned itself on 45 minutes into the night, it went pretty smoothly.
Two things I learned
1) It is impossible to get change in that part of DC. People just won't do it. Vlad and I hit 5-6 places to get change as everyone was paying in $20's and we had a five dollar cover charge. Finally, I had to go into a gay bar to get change. Me. In a gay bar. in Cyber fetish shit and leather pants. The bartender made me change, but only after asking for my phone number and hitting on me. Only me, right?
2) People love movies at their club. We played Dagon and at one point over a dozen people were just standing watching the HDTV with the movie on. Next time, Vlad and I talked about breaking out the silent Call of Cthulhu film.
In all this was easily the best goth night I've seen since I've moved here. Better than Bound, Chronos, or Midnight. Best night I've seen in DC since Alchemy at Nation, although I do hear that a little piece of Philly is prepping DC for a quite entertaining Saturday night…
I went to bed about 4am and got up at 10 because at 11am, I had to go to several Toys R Us in the area to take pictrues and talk to people attending Manaphy day. Go to Toys R Us until 3 pm and get a Manaphy for Pokemon Diamond or Pearl. No excuse not to go if you have the games!
Now I'm off to play some DDR for the WII.
MASSAPEQUA PARK, New York (AP) — Animal rights activists are hopping mad because they can't find the wascals who've been dumping domestic wabbits all over the place.
Long Island can be a dangerous place for wandering rabbits, experts say.
People have been dropping the furry creatures on roadways, in parks and near school grounds on Long Island's South Shore with increasing regularity in recent months, animal control experts said.
Earlier this month, a man was seen dumping 20 rabbits in a box at a train station and driving away, said Nancy Schreiber, a Long Island Rabbit Rescue Group volunteer.
"It sounds like someone is raising rabbits and trying to get out of the business," said Gerry McBride, who handles criminal complaints for the Nassau County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
The SPCA is trying to figure out who is responsible for dumping the cuddly critters, and the Rabbit Rescue Group is offering a $5,000 reward.
The rabbits often can't fend for themselves in the wild and end up starving to death or being killed by raccoons or diseases.
Many of the rabbits found by the rescue group have been infested with fleas or ticks. They've been treated, fed, cleaned and put up for adoption.
Cakelove opened in Shirlington yesterday. After coming hope from work, I walked over and picked up a six pack of cupcakes. They were:
Lemon buttercream on a chocolate cupcake
Lemon buttercream on a vanilla cupcake
Lime buttercream on a vanilla cupcake
Lime buttercream on a chocolate cupcake
Raspberry buttercream on a vanilla cupcake
peanut butter buttercream on a chocolate cupcake.
$3 a cupcake or $18 for a half dozen. $32 for a baker's dozen. It might seem a little bit expensive at first, but then you have to remember Cakelove is owned and operated by Warren Brown, star of the Food Network's show Sugar Rush. When you're a TV show host and a celebrity chef, you can charge a little more than your average bakery. In the end though, it's all about the taste.
Heather, Vlad, and I each tried a cupcake and I also had two samples from the store: Vanilla on Vanilla and Raspberry on Chocolate. My personal cupcake was Lemon on chocolate. I have to admit the cupcakes were quite good. The cake was moist and light, yet very filling. It wasn't rich like a ganache, but I defintely couldn't eat two in a row. Too much sugar and fat for me.
The icing though was a bit of an issue with me. I felt Cakelove relies far too much on pushing the icing over the actual cupcake itself. This is generally where I feel most bakers go wrong. Let the cake sell itself and have the icing as an accent. Yet, Cakelove does a dozen types of icing, but only two types of cupcakes. That to me is the wrong direction and generally wouldn't sell me on a baked good. The icing was nicely flavored. The lemon wasn't overpowering, and there was a bit of the rind on the top of the cupcake to signify what flavor you were eating. Still in the end, I'd have rather had more cake flavor and less icing. Vlad too is not an icing fan, but he enjoyed the complimentary flavors of the icing/cake more than I did. It was a good cupcake all around with no real complaints from me other than what I feel the focus should be and perhaps less icing lfavors and more experiementing with cake flavors.
I really wanted to purchase an eclair or brownie, but at the time all they had were cakes and cupcakes.
Late on we tried what they call a "Crunchy Foot." A crunchy foot is a mini pound cake is as they describe it, "Super flavorful mini-pound cakes with slightly crunchy edges." I have to disagree here. I was actually quite dissapointed with the crunchy foot. I love pound cake, seeing that strawberry shortcake is easily my favorite of all cakes, and I actually found the cake to be bland and the crunchy edges were offputting with the tesxture of the rest of the cake. Instead of standing out, the textures just didn't blend well to my liking.
I realize this review is coming off a bit negative, but its not meant to be. I defintely enjoyed the cupcake and it could just be the crunchy foot wasn't up to my personal preference for pound cake (Or that I had too much sugar. I'm not a sweets person to begin with). I'm still very interested in sampling their cakes, eclairs, brownies, and the item they call a "Buzz ball." However, it was the first day and about 4:30-5pm in the afternoon which explains the more limited selection.
If you're looking for a gourmet cupcake or slice of cake, Cakelove is right up your alley. I'm more a fruit-based sugar than processed sugar person myself, so if given the preference I'll go for pie over cake most times. Still, Cakelove is only a short walk from my house and I'm sure I'll be back to sample their wares again.
6/10 for a light first impression based on one full cupcake, two samples of other cupcakes, and a Crunchy Foot.
Busy day yesterday. I finished editing and laying out the DEED Digest and the Quarterly Communicator. Today I finish up Public Power Weekly. Busy busy.
10 more auctions ended, netting me another $110 or so. Not bad.
Went looking for little tiny boxes to mail the heroclix guys out to their new owners, but I didn't find any at Target. I'm thinking a Staples or an Office Max or a UPS store/Kinkos. Any ideas gang?
Finished my Growlanser review, which you can now read on Insidepulse.com or here. For some reason the LJ RSS feed garbled that post and so I apologize (although it should be LJ who has to apologize once again) for it fucking up friend's lists. Oddly it shows up just fine in the other 6 or so RSS feeds out there of my blog. Yet another reason to jettison LJ I suppose. Next review is to be DDR Hottest Party for the Wii. LIGHTSTICK RAVE BABY!
Tomorrow I have two interviews that have the potential to be quite nice positions in their own right. Monday is still the big interview I've been dealing with for over a month. Nervous but confident.
Tomorrow is Submerge. Michelle and I will be working door for Vlad. Come on out if you're in the DC Metro area. Speaking of clubs, I don't think I'm up for Chronos. Three weeks in a row I won't be going. First was due to new job stuff, second was miscommunication and this week? It's the stupid evil clown night. On one hand it's nice to have a theme night. On the other, this is only a half step above having a furrie night or "Come as your favorite anime character" night. I'd have more fun hanging out with Michelle or working on my next review. All this EA stuff has really made me helped light a fire in my belly passion-wise for the industry again. I mean, I referenced nearly a dozen games in my G:HoW review. That's been a while.
ME/ME2 wants me to write a couple columns.articles for their next issue. Not sure what on. Cakelove just opened in Shrlington yesterday so I'll end up doing a review of that in here today. Maybe I can modify that for publication.
Quick reminder that if you want a Manaphy and a $5 coupon from Toys R Us, come out to any Toys R Us Saturday for a Pokemon Day!
Growlanser: Heritage of War
Publisher: Atlus USA
Developer: Atlus Japan
Genre: RTS
Release Date: 9/19/2007
Bit of a meander here folks. First a bit of trivia. The actual name of Growlanser: Heritage of War in Japan in Growlanser Generations. However, that name was used by Working Designs when they published Growlanser II and III together as a compilation. This meant Atlus had to rename the game for its North American release.
Another interesting fact: Growlanser Generations was the last game ever published by Working Designs before the went under. In a strange bit of homage to the sometimes lamented publisher that brought over Dragon Force and the Lunar series, Atlus USA has packaged this fifth installment of Growlanser with a ton of extra crap ranging from a key chain to a CD soundtrack. Very nice and Atlus has been doing this sort of thing for a while now, going back to Digital Devil Saga and its controller armour.
One last little fact before we get into this real time strategy series (And yes, it's not an RPG people. It's not turn-based. It's not an action RPG. Growlanser has always had far more in common with Warcraft, Goblin Commander, or Dragon Force than Dungeons and Dragons or Final Fantasy): Only II, III, and V in the Growlanser series has ever hit the West. I and IV still have yet to be ported.
There, I've cut my original three page essay about Atlus USA following in the footsteps of Working Designs and the irony of that considering Atlus Japan made the series in the first place down to three paragraphs. God bless my newfound ability to be brief and concise. On with the show.
You're crazy old today!

|Scroll Desperado
She's a warrior woman cuz she takes care of Monk. Not just cuz she always has wipes on hand. Monk takes the beautiful caring lady for granted too often but she's always there by his side & fights for his right to get over OCD. She's always a spunky speaks-her-mind type and helps the detective in more ways than she gets credit for.
Too bad they ended this show. But she deserves a thread. So here's to Traylor Howard aka Natalie Teger.
|Scroll Desperado
This is the Natalie that Natalie the-cat-who-owns-me was named after.
Natalie the cat is mostly all black with some white on her chest & tummy.
edited cuz i typed "car" instead of "cat" the first time & Nat the cat was not amused!This message has been edited. Last edited by: xenacrazed,
|Scroll Desperado
Been taping older Monks lately. They have Sharona in them instead of Natalie. Sharona is okay but nowhere the nice, patient babe that Natalie is.
Of course, Monk doesn't deserve either Natalie or Sharona as he is too self-centered.
|Scroll Desperado
"i won the xc wife lottery! yay! Now i get to be locked up in his stinky basement! yay! i'm a glutton for punishment! yay!"
|Scroll Desperado
i'm almost done with Monk reruns on dvd. One ep left. Then i start watchin X-Files on dvd.
i dunno if i survive being Traylor-free. She's just too much what i want! i may have to sneak her show in once a month.
