The Chili refers to the physical quality of the product (how well is it made, how does it look) as well as how the product affects our physical game (the swing, putting, chipping, sand game), etc. Products that are well made and help us learn better golf motions get higher Chili Ratings, 5 being the maximum.

Rapper Tone Loc pleads no contest to domestic violence charge
(CNN) — Rapper Tone Loc pleaded no contest Monday to domestic violence and other charges, about three and a half months after a fight with the mother of his child, the Los Angeles County district attorney's office announced.
Tone Loc, whose real name is Anthony Smith, entered the plea in open court of single counts of corporal injury to a spouse, cohabitant or child's parent and possession of an assault weapon, the office said in a press release. The weapon — a Colt AR-15 Sporter — was found by investigators, but was not used in the domestic assault.
There was no negotiated settlement, according to the district attorney.
After the rapper addressed the court, Burbank Superior Court Judge Patrick Hegarty sentenced him to one day in county jail, three years of probation, 52 weeks of anger management counseling and 30 days of community service.
He was arrested in June, following what Burbank Police Sgt. Tracy Sanchez then described as "a physical altercation with the mother of his child."
The entertainer then spent less than three hours in custody before posting a $50,000 bond, according to Sanchez.
The 45-year-old rapper rose to stardom in 1988 with his hit singles "Wild Thing" and "Funky Cold Medina."
His deep, raspy voice made him famous not just in the music world, but also helped him as he scored acting roles on television and doing voice work. He has been cast in several sitcoms and reality TV shows, according to the Internet Movie Database.
CNN's Alan Duke and Denise Quan contributed to this report

Congratulations go out to the University of Maryland-Baltimore County, the winner of this year's NCAA men's basketball tournament.
Not so, you say? Consider this: In three years' time, which are you more likely to remember, the actual champion, or that a No. 16 seed upset a top-seeded team for the first time in tournament history?
The underdog Retrievers could -- and very well may -- get run out of the gym by ninth-seeded Kansas State on Sunday, and they'll still return to campus as legends. Chances are we'll end up with a "Rudy"-esque inspirational film within the next 15 years -- insert your own "Air Bud" jokes here.
UMBC's astonishing 74-54 win over No. 1 Virginia late Friday night reminds us all what's so great about the NCAA Tournament.
In that spirit, here are a handful of examples from other sports in which the finale was overshadowed by an earlier result.
NFC championship
Giants 15, 49ers 13
Jan. 20, 1991
There were plenty of additional storylines heaped onto the already heated New York-San Francisco rivalry.
The Giants were playing without veteran QB Phil Simms. In the fourth quarter, New York's Leonard Marshall delivered a crushing hit that signaled the beginning of the end of Hall of Fame quarterback Joe Montana's career.
Leading 13-12 with less than three minutes to go, San Francisco needed only to run out the clock to earn another trip to the Super Bowl.
The Giants went on to claim the Lombardi Trophy with a 20-19 victory over Buffalo -- the first of four straight Super Bowl losses for the Bills. It may seem odd to say a Super Bowl decided by a last-minute field-goal attempt took second-billing to anything, but that's just how intense the NFC foes' rivalry was at the time.
AL championship
October, 2004
Red Sox vs. Yankees
Does this story even need retelling around these parts?
The Boston Red Sox always played second fiddle to the Evil Empire, and things looked to be status quo as New York took a seemingly insurmountable 3-0 lead in the 2004 ALCS, including a 19-8 Game 3 thrashing.
Down to their final three outs and trailing by a run in Game 4, the Red Sox began their historic comeback when Dave Roberts famously stole second base and tied the game on a single by Bill Mueller to force extra innings.
Boston went on to sweep the final four contests -- winning games 4 and 5 in extra innings -- to become the first MLB team ever to overcome a 3-0 deficit in a seven-game series.
The Red Sox then steamrolled the overmatched St. Louis Cardinals in a four-game World Series sweep for their first title since 1918, setting the stage for a new generation of Boston success.
Miracle on Ice
United States 4, Soviet Union 3
Feb. 22, 1980
Winner of five of the previous six men's hockey gold medals, the Soviet Union rolled into the 1980 Winter Games in Lake Placid, New York, as the overwhelming favorite. But the scrappy Americans instead provided one of the greatest moments in Olympic history, scoring twice in the third period for a come-from-behind victory that gave all of America reason to rejoice.
The U.S. went on to defeat Finland, 4-2, to secure the gold medal, but the victory over the Soviet Union remains the defining moment of the men's Olympic hockey program.
Honorable mention:
WWF Royal Rumble
Jan. 19, 1992
I was a 10-year-old kid when my aunt courageously agreed to take me and my cousin to the Knickerbocker Arena in Albany, New York, to see the superstar wrestlers we knew from endless hours of TV.
At the time, the WWF (before it became the WWE) was trying out Sid Justice as a big-name villain, with his popularity threatening to surpass that of the aging Hulk Hogan.
But they weren't the only headliners in the 30-man melee. Ric Flair entered at No. 3 and spent a good portion of the match unconscious on the mat after being choked out, the massive bodies stepping over him as they continued to brawl.
Down to the final four, Justice eliminated "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Hogan. The plan called for fans to boo Justice's dirty tactics, but instead the arena erupted in cheers when Hogan went over the ropes, so much so that in later broadcasts the crowd's original reaction had to be edited out.
With Justice and Hogan jawing near the ropes, the "Nature Boy" sneaked up and tossed Justice over and out. The win gave Flair the WWF title, but for everyone in the arena, the Hogan-Justice rivalry was the story of the day.

Naheel Suleman isn't afraid of commitment.
The 40-year-old president of Hush, a luxury homebuilder, prides himself on developing lasting relationships with his high-end clientele.
"I know all my buyers personally, by their first names," he notes during an interview at Hush's head office near Pearson International Airport. "I meet with them individually — it's a tight group, very exclusive."
Hush's homebuilding method involves shifting buyers away from focusing exclusively on the end product. Instead, the company aims to provide purchasers with a more immersive and inclusive home-buying experience, involving them at every stage of the development.
Before a million-dollar-plus home is built, for example, Hush consultants meet with the buyer to learn about the lifestyle they envision having in their new digs. Information gleaned here shapes the approach to the design and construction of the home.
Hush buyers are fully involved in the design of the home and can tweak and make changes to floor plans; they can even opt to tear up the plans and start from scratch if they wish, Suleman says.
Once construction begins, purchasers come along for the ride. Buyers are welcome to walk through the site and witness first-hand what's happening with the construction of the home; they can inspect the quality of Hush's work and request further modifications where necessary, "as long as it's not structural," stresses Suleman.
It's a holistic and inclusive approach to homebuilding that Suleman says is meant to "bridge the gap of expectations between builder and buyer."
"There are no surprises because you know when your house is going to get built; you're aware throughout the process of what's happening."
Hush is a fairly new player on the Toronto development scene. Started by Suleman in 2005, the luxury homebuilder currently has five projects under development. Hush also has a custom home division, which builds between five to 10 homes each year.
Homes in Hush communities generally range from $1.2 million to $2.5 million; custom homes can go as high as $3.5 million.
Suleman would eventually like to expand his business — perhaps offering product in the $750,000 to $1 million range — but he recognizes the virtues of maintaining a smaller-scale operation. "Our buyers need to feel they're buying something that's exclusive, or that we've stretched ourselves and that we can't offer the services and relationship."
New eyes
Suleman began his career as a chartered accountant, a job that didn't exactly thrill him. "I knew I wanted to be an entrepreneur," he says.
Working with a couple of developers while he was a CA, Suleman gained an understanding of and affinity for the development business. "At the same time, having not grown up in the industry, I could see some of the disconnects, some of the issues that new eyes might see."
In 2004, he came across a parcel of property in Meadowvale. The site — which eventually became Hush's Estates of Olde Meadowvale Village — seemed like a perfect opportunity to break into the development world.
Before Suleman forged ahead, however, he had what he calls a "Jerry Maguire moment." "I said if I'm going to do this and go out on my own, I can't be like everyone else in the homebuilding industry. This is the opportunity and the time to do something different."
Suleman spent months crafting a vision for the different sort of company he wanted to build. He consulted with business experts and leaders in a variety of industries. Books such as Built to Last and Good to Great provided further insights.
"In one of the books I read, Walt Disney is asked what Disney is about," Suleman recalls. "He said, 'We're not about theme parks and animated characters, we're about making kids happy, and that's how we make the kids happy.' "
"So we took a page out of Walt Disney's book. Hush is not about houses or building homes, we're about creating a best-in-class experience for the buyer. The home is how we get there."
Indeed, once you buy with Hush, it's never truly goodbye.
After a purchaser has moved in to his or her home, Hush morphs into concierge — property management mode with its home services program.
As part of this service, the developer sends someone to do annual or semi-annual inspections of the home, checking and certifying that all is in working order. These inspections continue as long as the owner lives in the home, even after the warranty has expired.
The developer can also arrange for exterior maintenance (snow removal, window cleaning) or interior maintenance (checking filters, cleaning ducts) to be done.
Hush will even help a client track down a yoga instructor who does house calls, hire a painter or party planner, or have someone check on a house while the owner is away.
"Anything you're doing with that house and the experience you're having," Suleman says, "we want to be a part of it."
Under construction
Hush has a full slate of developments currently underway.
In Mississauga, construction continues on the company's maiden project, the Estates of Olde Meadowvale Village, a two-phase development of 26 luxury homes, including a custom home enclave.
Hush has two sites in Oakville: Avalon, near Appleby College, which is under construction; and Gardens at Coronation, next to Coronation Park, which will begin construction this summer.
Hush recently started sales on Alexandria, a community of 20 4,000-square-foot townhouses on Bayview Ave. between Post Rd. and The Bridle Path.
And in May, the company launched Mont Palais, an 11-home project at Mississauga Rd. and Eglinton Ave., the first community in the GTA that will have geothermal heating as standard.

Wedding Disco
Sit back and ask yourself what you want from a Wedding DJ! Do you want a Wedding DJ who fills your dance floor? A Wedding DJ who plays great music? A Wedding DJ who will play YOURS and your guests Requests? Or More? I provide all options and fit very well into the more category. I help provide you with Memories with your entertainment. The areas I cover are Lancashire, Manchester, Merseyside, Cheshire and Cumbria. I do travel further afield but some times it is not feasible for either of us because during your time leading up to your event we will ideally meet 2-3 times.
Wedding DJ
To truly get to grips with what you want, its important for me to come and visit you, sit down with a cup of coffee and have a chat about what you want. I understand it is the biggest day of your lifes and care about the performance on the day. I like to find out what you need and what to make your dreams of the perfect Wedding Reception DJ and Disco happen. Then I will show you what I can do, the kind of memories and emotion and engagement that it will bring to your wedding reception and how we can make it unique to you and your guests would never have been to one of my weddings before.
People don't truly see what a Professional Wedding Entertainment Planner and DJ can bring to a event because know one except myself and a few others over the united kingdom actually do this kind of thing and not one of us does it the same way. You more than likely wont have been to an event like it, and don't know it exists. I am unique and so can your special day.
What can be included, Anything that you feel would make your day have that little bit extra, this can be from games such as the shoe game, to custom intro's for the bridal party from anyone such as yourself to famous voice over's, it could be you might want silly games, space hopper races, or kids games for adults, musical chairs, limbo etc.
Whatever you want, I can achieve. I am the actioner, the idea's man, the implimentor all to make sure your wedding is all it can be. Dont waste your time with an OK disco, have the DJ Richard Porter experience and make it all it can be.
The aim of the day is to cater for everyone, everyone will take something different away from your day that would have made it special for them. All eyes are on you, and you are central attraction and lets make it a fun, exciting and engaging one.
I only take on 40-45 Wedding DJ jobs a year, I don't work another Wedding the day before your event, because with the amount of time and effort that goes into every wedding reception I do, I would be physically tired and that is not fair on anyone's wedding day, me not being 100%.
Get in contact with me now, book your FREE meeting, and put the kettle on.
At the meeting I wont "sell to you" I wont make you sign anything or anything like that, its just an informal chat about you, and about what I can do for you. I will then save your date for a couple of weeks for you to decide if I am the man for your job.
Please have a look at my blog post, on my origins as a wedding DJ and see for yourself certain elements that could be added to your event. Between us we could have 50+ ideas and have to streamline that to get to the right formula for your big day.
It will be a pleasure to be of service, I will do a fantastic job for your event and we will all have a great time.
Dont delay and call me today lets bring the magic to your wedding reception.

Bill Millin, 88
Bill Millin, bagpiper who accompanied British troops on D-Day, dies at 88
Bill Millin, 88, a Scottish bagpiper who braved mortar shells, raking machine guns and sniper fire to play morale-pumping tunes for his fellow commandos from the beaches of Normandy on D-Day, died Aug. 17 at a hospital in the English county of Devon after a stroke.
Mr. Millin became part of Scottish folklore as soon as he jumped from the landing craft into the cold French waters off Sword Beach on June, 6, 1944, in Operation Overlord. He later came to be known as the "mad piper." His courageous actions were immortalized in the 1962 film adaptation of Cornelius Ryan's historical account of the invasion, "The Longest Day," which featured an ensemble cast including John Wayne and Sean Connery.
Dressed in the kilt his father wore in World War I and armed with only a ceremonial dagger, Mr. Millin was a 21-year-old soldier attached to the 1st Special Service Brigade led by Simon Fraser, better known by his Scottish clan title, Lord Lovat.
As Lovat's personal piper, Mr. Millin played rousing renditions of "Highland Laddie" and "Road to the Isles," energizing the advancing troops and comforting the men whose last moments were spent on foreign soil.
"I shall never forget the skirl of Bill Millin's pipes," one Normandy survivor, Tom Duncan, later told the London Daily Telegraph. "It reminded us of home and why we were fighting for our lives and those of our loved ones."
Despite the racket going on around him, Mr. Millin's music was heard up and down the coastline. It was so loud, in fact, that one soldier told him to knock it off unless he wanted all the Germans in France to hear of the invasion.
Mr. Millin was the only bagpiper to take part in Overlord, because British high command had banned pipers from the front to reduce casualties.
"Ah, but that's the English war office," Lovat told Mr. Millin. "You and I are both Scottish, and that doesn't apply."
Marching along the crater-pocked sand was oddly a "relief," Mr. Millin later said, compared with the boat ride to the shore, which had made him seasick.
Despite his brigade's heavy casualties -- nearly half of the 1,400 commandos were killed -- Mr. Millin survived without a scratch. (His pipes, however, were wounded by shrapnel after a mortar round landed beside him. Luckily, it was a superficial injury, and Mr. Millin patched his pipes up and carried on.)
Mr. Millin's unit eventually captured two German snipers whose pinpoint fire had wiped out many in the Allies' advance. When asked through an interpreter why the snipers hadn't aimed for Mr. Millin, whose blaring bagpipes would have made him an easy target, the prisoners had a simple answer.
The German snipers didn't bother, they said, because the man making all that noise seemed to be on a suicide mission and was clearly mad.

There are really millions of people who want to be a writer. I am just one of them and I am happy to say that my full time work is writing. It is actually not freelance writing but Blogging. Many freelance writers would perhaps frown at people like me and they would say that Bloggers are not real writers. Anyway, this entry is not about me or Bloggers but here, I am going to discuss about some tips on how to survive as a freelance writer. I have been earning my livelihood as a freelance writer for quite sometimes. I have also suffered some of the worst experiences. So, I think that I am a write person to give advice on this topic.
1. Think again if you want to be a writer: yes, this is my first advice to anyone who wants to be a writer. As I have already said that millions of people want to become full time writers but only very few of them become successful. Most others either quit or suffer too much for their whole life and still do not get any success. That is why, it is better that you think again seriously whether you want to be a writer and suffer the instability and insecurity of a freelance writer. If you are not ready for the instability and security then you should not be in this field.
2. Get inspiration from the lives of other writers: Whenever I feel disappointed and frustrated, I try to think about two writers. The first one is Charles Dickens and the second one is Alex Haley. Both of them realized what poverty was. Charles Dickens in fact hardly got any chance to get school education but he taught himself and he had to literally earn money just to stay live for some of the early years of his life. That is why, I get a lot of encouragement and inspiration from the life of Charles Dickens. You do not have to get inspiration from Dickens alone. There are many other poets and writers who suffered a lot just like you.
3. Keep your dream intact: Most people are afraid to dream and even believe in their dream. I would strongly suggest that you never loss your dream. It does not matter whether you become successful or not but you must have your dream intact. For example, these days, I have to work on Blogging and earn money. I enjoy Blogging because it is a kind of writing and many people are reading my entries. However, I really wish that I could write some stories, novels and I could dedicate all my time for writing and reading about history. However, writing about history will not bring money for me and that is why I am becoming a more serious Blogger. Still, I have my dream within me. As soon as I can get good success in Blogging and can earn decent amount of money, I will try to allocate at least 20 per cent or 25 per cent of my daily time for writing and reading about history.
4. Don't leave your day job right away: This is one of the most important tips I want to talk about. Many people get too much excited and carried away and they just jump into freelance writing. Many people even give up their day time job that brings regular money and pay all their bills. You should not do it until you can earn some regular money by selling your writing. I am grateful to god that the time of Blogging came and I could get some regular income through it.
5. Cut back on your hobbies and luxuries: When you want to become a full time freelance writer then forget about your all luxuries. May be you are fond of a very expensive restaurant and you want to go there once a week. When you become a freelance writer then just forget it. Or else you cannot control your expenses and you will suffer sooner rather than later. As for hobbies, try to think of the hobbies that does not need money at all. For example, I try to read all the news in internet and do not buy any newspaper. I also try to read as much free e-books available on internet as possible instead of buying books. I am among the persons who is crazy for newspapers and magazines.
6. Beggars should not be choosers: This is another important lesson. In your early years of freelance writing career, do not try to be an idealist or perfectionist. Sometimes you will get projects that you do not like at all. For example, I used to get a lot of projects for translation works related to computer field. My background is from Humanities and at first, it was not only distasteful for me but very difficult too. However, I realized that translating in the computer field was bringing much more money than any other kind of writing. This skill helped me a lot when I became a Blogger. So, be prepared to write the things you don't like at all. Or in other words, sometimes, be prepared to sell your soul sometimes.
7. Work long hours: Remember that writing is not a 9 to 5 job. When you get a project and you need to do a research and work on it then be prepare to work for long hours. When I started professional Blogging nearly four and half years ago, for many months, I used to work 12 to 14 hours a day. I did not take any off because I needed to know about professional Blogging. Because of this, I survived quite well in Blogging and had decent amount on income.
8. Take loan and charity: This happened to me really. Nearly eight years ago, I left my university teaching job and decided to become a full time freelance writer. At first, it was impossible for me to earn any money and I suffered a lot from money stress. It became a real nightmare every month to pay the house rent. I had to take loan or even sometimes begged from my friends anyone I knew. Just be prepare to leave aside your dignity on some occasions and if needed take charity.
9. Success will come: I know that often writers get the feeling that they will struggle forever. I am not saying that if you work hard you will become rich or a millionaire. However, I can assure you that if you are ready to work hard regularly then at least you will be able to have a decent middle class life from the income of your writing.
10. Think again really: At first, I said you that think about the matter whether you really want to be a writer and if you are ready to suffer all the hardship, frustration and insecurities of the life of a freelance writer. At the end, I am again telling you the same thing because it is not a child play. Life is not rosy at all when you decide to become a freelance writer. You are bound to suffer for several years unless a miracle happens.
In the end, just kind of off topic and self promotion. Today, we could move our laptop blog to a domain: http://www.laptopet.com/

Bhubaneswar is one of the ancient cities of India. This temple town is situated between 21° 15' North Latitude 85° 15' Longitude at an altitude of 45 meters above sea level. Geographically, Bhubaneswar is located in the eastern coastal plains of Orissa on the south-west of the Mahanadi River.
Bhubaneswar, the name originates from the Sanskrit word Tribhuvaneshwara, one of the innumerable names given to Lord Shiva. The history of the city rolls back to over 2000 years wherein it was known as the Ekamra Kshetra. The 'city of temples', as it is now known has been named after Tribhuvaneswar, 'Lord of Three Worlds'. The city still preserves many of its ancient temples, around which the religious life of the city revolves. Termed as the "Cathedral of the east" Bhubaneswar is also the modern capital of Orissa.
When one refers to Bhubaneshwar, the image that comes across is a cosmopolitan, multicultural city that showers a mélange of flavors from its ever changing mosaic of contrasting culture. The amalgamation of ancient beliefs and contemporary culture, of rich legacies and sleek modern living makes Bhubaneshwar an ever-youthful, ever-enchanting city for tourists. For centuries Bhubaneswar has been a place of religious and cultural efflorescence and today the city reflects a unique harmony between antiquity and urbanity. A stunning city which always reminds people of its past, with over 2,000 years of history, over 600 Hindu temples, Kalingan architectures, museums, zoo, and many more to explore, it is true that Bhubaneshwar can't be seen in a day if you want to pay it anything more than a cursory inspection. Besides being renowned as the Temple City of India, historically Bhubaneshwar has been known by different names such as Toshali, Kalinga Nagari, Nagar Kalinga, Ekamra Kanan, Ekamra Kshetra and Mandira Malini Nagari. Many people have written books and articles about Bhubaneshwar on its culture, myths and other interesting facets of a culturally vibrant city. Though many books and blogs have been written to give us a glimpse about the city, Bhubaneshwar goes beyond temples and its metropolitan way of life. Today, it is a bustling administrative, commercial, industrial and religious center merging its intriguing past with its present.
Taking into consideration the varied manifestations of the city with regard to its history, its growth as a propitious part of the economic growth of the nation, the city has had the distinction of being recognized as the sister-city of Cupertino, California, USA. Since 16th August, 2011, the city has attained this distinction. With this partnership the focus would be on developing education, healthcare, art and culture, commerce and create more business opportunities on both sides.

Deficit Reduction and FY 2012 Appropriations Agenda
This Wednesday President Obama will address a joint session of Congress to put forward his "jobs" agenda. The plan will likely include new federal spending proposals which conflict with Republicans' focus on deficit reduction. The co-chairs of the Joint Select Deficit Reduction Committee appointed Mark Prater, currently the deputy staff director and chief tax counsel for Republican members of the Finance Committee, to lead the deficit reduction talks as chief of staff. His knowledge of the tax code may be an indication that the panel will be looking for means to increase taxes or even reform the individual and corporate tax code. Congress and the joint committee face the following deadlines:
September, 2011: Congress is likely to pass a continuing resolution to continue federal funding after October 1st, the beginning of the new fiscal year, given that House Republicans have indicated they will not move standalone FY 2012 appropriations bills this month. Setting the stage for later consideration, on September 7th the Senate will allocate $1.043 trillion in overall spending for the 12 appropriations bills via the 302(b) budget process.
Sept. 8: The super committee holds its first organizational meeting; on the agenda will be setting the rules.
Sept. 13: First public hearing, which will include testimony on "The History and Drivers of Our Nation's Debt and Its Threats" from CBO.
Sept. 22: Deadline for Congress to consider a resolution of disapproval for first $900 billion of deficit reduction under the BCA (Budget Control Act of 2011, P.L. 112-25).
Oct. 1-Dec. 31: Timeframe in which both houses of Congress must vote on a Balanced Budget Amendment.
Oct. 14: House and Senate committees must submit recommendations to the super committee by this date.
Nov. 23: Deadline for the super committee to vote on a plan with at least $1.2 trillion in deficit reduction.
Dec. 2: Deadline for the super committee to submit report and legislative language to the President and Congress.
Dec. 23: Deadline for both houses to vote on the super committee recommendations.
Jan. 15, 2012: Date that the "trigger" leading to $1.2 trillion of future spending cuts goes into effect, if the super committee's recommendations have not been enacted.
February 2012: Approximate time when the first $900 billion of deficit reduction runs out.
February/March 2012: During this period, 15 days after the President uses his authority in the BCA to increase the debt ceiling for a second time, Congress must consider a resolution of disapproval for the second tier ($1.2-$1.5 trillion) of deficit reduction.
Fall/Winter 2012: The additional $2.1-$2.4 trillion of borrowing authority from BCA runs out.
Jan. 2, 2013: OMB orders equal sequestrations for defense and non-defense categories of spending necessary to meet spending cuts required under the trigger, if the super committee recommendations are rejected.

There are interesting developments in the technologies applying new sources of energy to help advanced nations "kick the habit" of their addiction to carbon based fuels. Trends in engine and hybrid vehicle design move towards some version of a "car of the future." Crude oil supplies are slowly running towards "empty," yet the impact of such fuels as ethanol, biofuels, liquefied natural gas or hydrogen are hardly felt. "Clean" coal and nuclear power plants have the potential to alleviate climatic changes due to man-made emissions, however they are slow in gaining acceptance in the U.S.; as are wind farms and photovoltaic cells [solar panels].(continue…)

About 999 crack shenanigans ago, Lindsay Lohan sued the rapper Pitbull. Do you remember that? Go here for the 2011 recap. In Pitbull's song "Give Me Everything," he raps the line "Hustlers move aside, so I'm tiptoein', to keep flowin'/I got it locked up like Lindsay Lohan." Which I still don't even think is bad PR or defamatory or anything. Lindsay sued Pitbull, probably thinking that Pitbull would just throw some money at her to make her go away (which is what E*Trade did when faced with a similar situation). Instead, Pitbull wouldn't play LL's game – he playfully invited Lindsay to his date to the VMAs, and he chose to fight her in court. Well, there's been some movement!
Pitbull didn't just win his legal war with Lindsay Lohan … he ANNIHILATED HER … TMZ has learned.
We broke the story … Lohan sued the rapper in 2011 for using her name in his hit song "Give Me Everything" … when he dropped the line, "I got it locked up like Lindsay Lohan."
Lohan claimed Pitbull never got permission to use her name … and therefore he had no right to profit off of it.
But today a New York federal judge sided with Pitbull … ruling that Lindsay is dead wrong on the law — because the song is a work of art protected by the 1st amendment and Lindsay's barely even mentioned.
The judge also ruled that Lindsay's allegations that she suffered emotional distress were also BS.
The case has been dismissed.
*deep breath*
HAHAHAHAHA. OMG. I love this news. I'm not a crazy Pitbull fan or anything, but I was on his side in this and I'm glad that the legal system backed him up. I'm also assuming that Pitbull didn't even have to pay for Lindsay's legal fees, which means that her cracked-out attempt to sue her way into financial stability has left her even more broke than before.
Would you like another sad/funny story about poor, crackie Lindsay? According to the Enquirer, she gets all drunk and high and then she starts calling up all of her "celebrity friends," begging them for money:
DEEPLY troubled LINDSAY LOHAN' been drunk-dialing her exes – and just about anyone else who'll talk to her – in a desperate search for cash and a job, say insiders.
The 26-year-old Hollywood train wreck "needs some heavy hitters to hook her up," a close source told The ENQUIRER.
"Her legal bills alone could buy a small country, and no one is safe. Wilmer Valderrama, Samantha Ronson, Stavros Niarchos and Jared Leto have all been targeted by Lindsay. She's also calling in favors from Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian, Nicole Richie and others.
"Problem is, she smells of desperation and almost everyone is running."
Incredibly, so many former friends have blocked Lindsay's rambling calls that she frequently has to change her cell phone number to get through. Luckily, she does have a few lifelines left, including Charlie Sheen.
As The ENQUIRER recently reported, her old pal Ashton Kutcher is also giving support. And three international "sugar daddies" are reportedly paying some of the "Mean Girls" star's expenses.
But the booze-addled actress is still badly strapped.
"She's not thinking straight and even reaching out to people she swore she'd never talk to again," said the source. "She leaves long rambling messages that are rarely returned. It's all very sad."
So, Ashton is giving her some money and Charlie "Captain Save A Ho" is still on the hook, plus Domingo Zapata, Vikram Chatawal, and at least one Middle Eastern prince. And still that's not enough. I hate to put it in these terms, but I have to ask: is Lindsay really bad at hooking? I mean, she's got several very wealthy men "on the hook" but she still can't get it together enough to make at least one of these guys pay off her debts and support her lifestyle? Am I thinking about it in the wrong terms? Is her priority "not being owned by any one man"? Because I think she should just go ahead and become a kept woman. It will mean less crack shenanigans.

Hi all:
The next organization I want to profile is the Voice of the Martyrs (VOM)
I have been subscribing (it's free) to their 16-page monthly newsletter for several years. Each month features a different country where freedom of religion is not practiced - even if it's ostensibly guaranteed in that country's government policies.
Believe me, the magazine is eye-opening. In fact, some of the photographs of tortured or abused Christians can be hard to see. But we need to see them if only to know that religious persecution is still alive and well in the 21st century.
Each issue also includes several ways we can help, including:
- Praying for specific people who now have faces and names and stories
- Sending Action Packs
- Writing to embassies and ambassadors (VOM provides addresses - and sometimes even postcards)
- Writing to prisoners
- Supporting the families of martyrs or prisoners
You can also subscribe to a weekly email letter that updates ongoing situations in up to 4 countries a week. The 8/9/06 issue featured cases in Bhutan, Bangladesh, China, and Iran.
VOM has an extensive web presence here
You can view more pictures and video of ongoing cases. And learn much more about the work VOM has been doing since it was founded by Richard and Sabina Wurmbrand in 1967.
Check out VOM's ministries and see if there's one (or more) in which you can be involved.
It's good to be aware of what's going on around the world!

Presentation Type: element of symposium
Synopsis: Effective and sustainable parent-professional collaboration depends not only on the attitudes and values of practitioners, but on access to empirically sound tools that elicit, structure, and sustain such partnerships. In this presentation, an early childhood assessment designed to promote collaboration will be introduced. The ways in which these tools facilitate collaboration through data collection, analysis, presentation, and strategy planning will be presented. This paper will provide the context for the remaining two papers to be presented.

Presentation Type: element of symposium
Synopsis: This study examined the influence of preschool childrenÕs strength behaviors on levels of teacher- and parent-reported behavior concerns. Using the Devereux Early Childhood Assessment, data on 1,596 children from Head Start and state funded preschools were collected from teachers and parents. Three levels of behavior concerns were examined in relation to cross-setting consistent and setting specific strength behaviors. Overall, MANOVA results revealed children with higher levels of behavior concerns had fewer strengths. However, cross-setting consistent strengths had a larger influence on levels of both teacher- and parent-reported behavior concerns. Results have implications for integration of information from multiple raters to reduce problem behaviors.
We're sorry, handouts are not available for this presentation.

Presentation Type: element of symposium
Synopsis: Two examples of partnerships addressing early childhood mental health by the ÒShow Me KidsÓ System of Care project will be discussed in this presentation. First, parent educators work through the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) programs to provide screening, education (particularly in brain development and its relationship to social and emotional skills), and referral services to caregivers of at-risk children through a partnership with a mental health agency. Second, Head Start, Early Childhood and Kindergarten programs, and the mental health center share a research agenda to create a regional description of childrenÕs social and emotional readiness for school.
We're sorry, handouts are not available for this presentation.
Session Number: 31 Room: Salon I
Presenting: Lori Connors-Tadros
All Authors for this paper: Lori Connors-Tadros
Presentation Type: brief symposium
Synopsis: This presentation will review barriers to collaboration that occur through the use of deficit-focused instruments and undeveloped methodologies for utilizing behavioral ratings from multiple informants or across settings. Measures such as the Devereux Early Childhood Assessment (DECA), the Ages & Stages Questionnaire (ASQ), and the Parent Stress Index (PSI) will be considered for their potential to promote collaboration across agencies and with families. Presentations will explore statistical strategies for making rater-comparisons, data-based strategies for integrating and utilizing assessments across raters and settings, and practical strategies for cross-agency partnerships to promote effective work with families and efficient system enhancement.
Date: Monday, March 5, 2007
Session Time: 4:45 PM - 5:45 PM

We received this enquiry from an Australian manufacturer of machinery, used in the paper industry. The load cell was required to measure the force applied by a heated roller, by measuring at the roller tensioning points.
The customer needed the load cell to be as low profile as possible, it needed to have a high level of sealing (to at least IP67) and it needed to work in an environment that was often wet, but with radiated temperatures of upto 100°C. The design of the load cell was made more difficult as a Ø31mm hole was needed, to pass the tensioning bolts through.
The main criteria we were given was as follows:-
|Rated Load (RL):
|1 tonne
|Proof Load:
|1.5 tonne
|Ultimate Breaking Load:
|>4 tonne
|1.2mV/V nominally
<±1% of Rated Load
<±0.1% of Rated Load
|Excitation Voltage:
|10vdc recommended, 12vdc maximum
|Bridge Resistance:
|Insulation Resistance:
|>100MΩ @ 500vdc
|Operating Temperature Range:
|-20 to +100°C
|Compensated Temperature Range:
|-10 to +100°C
|Zero Temperature Coefficient:
|<±0.01% of Rated Load/°C
|Span Temperature Coefficient:
|<±0.01% of Rated Load/°C
|Environmental Protection Level:
|Connection Type:
|Integral PTFE cable, 5 metres long, exiting via a cable gland

The LCM2453 load cell was an interesting design. It highlighted some of the problems that occur with annular load cells, which are not often the most accurate of load cells, where there are height restrictions. Add to this the relatively low capacity, high temperature and environmental sealing; then that really set a challenge!
As you can see from the calibration certificates for these load cells, we managed to achieve a pretty good accuracy (if we are allowed to brag!). Since we manufactured this product, we have had several other similar designs that have all performed equally as well. More importantly, they have enabled customers to satisfy there challenging measurement requirements.
LCM Systems manufacture a large and varied range of custom design and standard product variant compression load cells. These have been supplied as 1off products, or as part of an instrumentation system. Many of these products are supplied with built in analogue signal conditioning, digital outputs or with wireless telemetry.
Please contact us to discuss any special compression load cell requirements you may have.

Modern Luxe Suite: The Moodboard2/20/2015 06:32:00 PM
This blog has nothing but the Tiny House Renovation updates, which is of course understandable as the past half year evolves around trying build our home. But, we still need to work or that said house will not be done. Construction = Money pit. The bf has his thing, and I have mine, which as you may have already forgotten due to lack of any updates and new posts, design projects. Don't worry, I still have work and I still have other things to show you here, but my lack of reveal photos doesn't help.
I really thought about it and decided not to post anything first before having the after photos on hand since I know it's annoying to lure you into details of a project and then keep mum for a year, without any final reveal, no closure. WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO PROJECT THIS AND PROJECT THAT?? Haha.. Story of this blog. So I have drafts of moodboards and progress that's still sitting there 'coz I haven't shot the space yet.
Am I telling you all that because I already have after photos of this project? Well, NO. It's just a very long introductory paragraph that totally opposes this post. You see, this project haven't even started yet. We'll probably start construction next week. I'm just posting it here because I love my moodboard! :) :)
I mean I love the design, of course, but what I'm talking about is the moodboard itself. Have you seen the first moodboard I did? That is actually my very first blog post back in 2010. Yes, it has been that long. Where the hell did those years go? Anyway, I'm always so giddy and proud whenever I managed to create a nice looking moodboard.
I know it's not the most realistic, but I didn't use any perspective rendering software, it's just photoshop. I've been asked quite a few times what software I use to create these, so that's it, the ever reliable photoshop. I was a graphic designer before, so I just used that to my advantage. I just gather different images, textures, furniture photo off the internet and lay them out together to have something to present to clients. I'm quite happy with it. :)
Enough about those, let's talk about the project itself. It's a one bedroom condominium. The client asked for hotel, luxe, and open feel. So the bedroom partition will be removed and we'll install a divider panel that can be open to have one big space, or closed to have privacy for the bedroom.
I just wanted a monochromatic feel with lots of texture. If you're afraid of colors but doesn't want boring, go for texture. I'll discuss this project further once we get started with the renovation and hopefully, I'll have a reveal photo to show you in maybe a month or so. :)
P.S. If you can't tell, just did this post to show-off my photoshop skills. HAHA

Heey everyone ,
I reposted the topic here since im a beginner
I usually dream very vivid and I remember my dreams often. The only thing was, I could not influence them so, I'm trying to lucid dream for some nights now. Some strange things happen but I can't seem to lucid dream. I guess I use the WILD method. Ok so what happens:
- During the day I do reality checks.
- I have a dream journal.
- I say to myself that I will lucid dream tonight.
- Then I put on my headphones (bineural beats ofc).
- After a while I feel my heart rate going faster.
- Then I feel dizzy at moments like I'm falling or something.
- Then I can feel my eyes spasm and move like crazy.
- Followed up by random imagery, faces, doors, eyes, creepy shit ....
The thing is... I sometimes see a detail very sharp... almost like seeing it for real but most of the time its just in my head. I'm never able to see a scenery and really enter the dream. I usually see weird things and than be fully awake again. So can anyone give tips how to improve my experience? Enter the dream instead of just random details? and some other general tips?
It is my second night though ... maybe i just need alot more practice, but I'm sure i can pull this off.
Another thing, MILD does not work for me because I sleep to deep or whatever. I have awesome dreams, sometimes very vivid and I can remember them... but as I said, I cant influence them, they just happen.

Re: sharing experience and need help
Dammit, tonight was the 3rd night and I had too many distractions so I could not go WILD. I fell asleep and did had a very vivid dream that I can still remember (partial ofc)... too bad I was not in that dream and made it awesome...
Any responses to my story above?
Any tips?
Any other experiences of you all?
How long does it normally take to get ur first lucid dream?
tnx all

You don't need to do this if you're doing a WILD, as you'll know you're dreaming.

you don't need to tell yourself anything doing a WILD

you should not be feeling your body at all. It should be relaxed unless you're in an uncomfortable position. my eyes are not moving at this stage

This is already light sleep [my stage three]. The more I intentionally did WILDs the more this stage changed, now right before the the images start to appear I see a scroll in my imagination with a dozen or more dreams on it and just pick one to enter. Once you're in light sleep having one of these light dreams when one can still wake up one just needs to wait for atonia to occur.
I posted this here for another, but it good for you too.
Kasi you need to first consider what the normal sleep process is. I can certainly help you with this as I'm a natural WILDer and not the only member of my family that can do them naturally either; but I had to work for a few days to learn how to do them intentional. I likely have a better understanding of WILDing as I've been able to do them all my life.
Sleep is a process with stages that are normally gone through every night; though these stages sometimes happen together or out of order.
1. Waking Consciousness-with the conscious brain on, the subconscious brain off and the body on.
2. The conscious brain switches off. This stage is skipped if you're Wilding, as a Will involves unbroken consciousness through out the sleep process.
3. Light sleep-the subconscious brain switches on and one experiences weak/ static dreams. These can be of a single static object, a slide show or some very weak as in simple dynamic dream. This sleep is so light that if one opens ones eyes or moves ones body one will wake up fully and one can still hear real sounds; but may not be able to distinguish them from dream sounds. I think this is as far as you've really gotten in the dream process with your "vibrations,high pitch noise[s],floating[s] " just being these weak dreams. Note: it's also possible to switch on the subconscious brain when normally awake, e.g. in Kung Fu (really Wu Shu) one really does see the flow of chi when doing it at a high enough level. Also, if you were really being trained in milam (Sanskrit Svapnadarsana) one would have first been trained in Osel (Sanskrit prabhasvara) usually called in English "clear light yoga", which is essentially a conscious waking state void of any images or thought, one would have also been train in yidam yoga in which one learns to visualize as in really see ones yidam (a yidam is normally translated as "tutelary deity" but a better translation would be patron Buddha or Bodhisattva). Put another way you're like the kid who shows up to his sifu (kung fu master) expecting to do one inch punches in a couple of days or weeks rather than after several years of training in kung fu.
4. Sleep paralysis- the body switches off. This stage is hardly experienced at all, I see a waterfall or an almost instantly growing tree when this happens. I've also been in this stage without entering any sort of dream state, with my eyes wide open, able to move and my neck move a little without ending it. What happens is that electrical pulses flow rapidly throughout any part of the body lower than the head, from the base of the brain. Simply trying to move the body ended this state. There are no hallucinations or scary feelings as in the normally talked about nightmarish sleep paralysis.
5. Deep dream sleep-the dream become dynamic and when WILDing one momentarily thinks they're real until one has an "oh Duh" moment and knows what they are. These dreams differ only from light sleep dreaming in that they're complex and very dynamic like a motion picture. Both light dreams and deep dream can be vivid, as in virtual reality or more normal dreams. While WILDING one can have almost emotionless dreams with no more emotion than when normally awake; but the emotional experiences WILDING can also be much more intense than anything you've experienced when normally awake and one might not be able to control them as one can even in intense emotional states when awake.
6. Deep nightmare sleep- it's important for you to know that deep dreams are always followed by deep nightmares and these nightmare can be both vivid and emotionally intense. I've been killed several times in vivid dreams and experience both the wounds and death agonies, I've also been tortured and tortured to death vivid nightmares. In light sleep intense emotion normally wakes one up fully; but in deep sleep it's abnormal to be woken up by them. If you do WILDing often enough you'll both be taken to heaven and hell.
7. The body switches back on, there are normally no dream images associated with this state and it's the least likely stage for you to experience.
8. Light sleep dreaming. One can wake up if one tries from this state at will or be pulled out of it by any strong emotion. If one does dream return after waking up, one will normally return to this state and more rarely will return to deep dreams/nightmares without sleep paralysis.
9. Normal waking up with the conscious mind on, the subconscious mind off and the body on.
1. One can skip stages and have an hallucination. One may think that one has been visited by Jesus or other supernatural being or been attacked by a preternatural or demonic being, so you might become someone like Mohamed who had a waking dream and thought he was a prophet.
2. You'll experience vivid nightmares and hellish emotions beyond anything you've experienced in normal life and if emotionally unstable or maybe even if just normal might be emotionally traumatized by what you experienced.
3. You could experience sleepwalking; though his never happened to me when I was Wilding every night for two years, it is certainly possible.
4. Something no one else has talked about, I normally sleep 4 hours and have gotten by for a few years on just two hours of sleep; but when WILDing I was sleeping 6-8 hours a day, so Wilding is less restful and restorative than normal sleep.
6. Sleep paralysis of the classic nightmarish kind. I've never experienced this; but I think the people who have are having an abnormal mixed state in which they're experiencing deep sleep nightmare and waking up mixed with sleep paralysis; but they really could be being attacked by demons. It's always a bad idea to jump from an opinion into a conclusion, staying skeptical or open minded is always the best approach.
7. False awakenings can be so vivid that one starts to take seriously that all life is an illusion.
8. If you do WILDING constantly the dreams and nightmares are often boring.
