5 Things Sharks Find Offensive About Shark Week
It's one slap of the shark face after another with these guys.
1. The So-Called "Expert"
They constantly parade interview subjects around, claiming them to be shark "experts." No dice. In Malcolm Gladwell's Outliers, expert status is achieved after dedicating at least 10,000 hours to a specific field of study. Now let's think about how much time a shark-diver spends with sharks; the time spent in the cage while we watch/make fun of their artificial gills from afar does not count. You're looking at maybe 8 seconds of contact (tops) as we approach them and begin gnawing on their delicious steel bars (What do you put in those, by the way? They are to die for). Factor in the two second "Air Jaws" clip we occasionally perform, we're looking at ten seconds a day of exposure. Those are no experts.
2. Flying Sharks
Speaking of jumping out of the water, the producers of Shark Week LOVE to show this. The airborne shot. It's a great image so we understand that you'd want to use it. But to be fair, not all sharks have the athletic prowess to perform this, and it misrepresents us to the general public. It's like if Discovery channel had "Black People Week" and just showed shots of Michael Jordan jumping from the foul line. What I'm getting at is not all sharks are good at basketball.
3. There's Always a Segment on How to Survive a Shark Attack
4. Reruns. Always With the Reruns.
Getting the rights to the footage in which we tear apart human beings is costly. We license this shit out of those clips (our cameramen are union, and oh boy, don't get me started on those negotiations), so we get it. But if you're going to do an annual shark week, you're going to need to update your archive. For the past few years, we're just coming off as stale, appearing to use the same techniques in which we maul your researchers over and over again. I promise you that this is not the case.
5. Still With the 'Jaws' Theme Music?
C'mon guys. You're better than that.

If a single tweet is to be believed, then it certainly appears that LB Jonathan Walton of Daphne, AL plans to sign with USC Wednesday at 1:00 PM at his school. But outside of last night's Twitter message, there's nothing else to go on at this point. "I can't say one way or another because I'm not 100% sure," Walton's coach Phil Lazenby said Monday morning. "It sounds like it (a USC commitment). I'm not going to make his announcement for him. I don't want to take away from his announcement." Walton has not commented about his apparent decision other than his tweet Sunday night.

Capital for Solar Panels
Posted in Business,SocietyMarch 9, 2012No comments
Solar-panel maker MiaSole has raised $55 million in venture capital to help it ramp-up production and sales.
MiaSole is based in Santa Clara, California, where it makes next-generation solar thin-film panels using copper, indium, gallium and selenium instead of silicon, making them much cheaper to manufacture.
The latest funding round included VantagePoint Capital Partners, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, Bessemer Venture Partners, Firelake Capital Management and Passport Capital.
As the heat has left the IPO market for renewable energy companies, MiaSole is more likely to be sold to a larger company than listed.
Solar-panel maker SunPower, of San Jose, California, got a major boost after French oil major Total S.A. bought two-thirds of the company last year.
MiaSole is now looking for $100 million to $300 million to scale up production and expand globally. The company is looking to expand in the U.S., India, Europe, the Middle East and Africa. The company currently has customers in the U.S., Germany, India and Saudi Arabia.

Upcoming Value Changes | Tweet |
Written by Dobber | |||||||||||
Sunday, 29 August 2010 16:16 | |||||||||||
The rumor mill is spinning out of control these days, thanks to hockey news that is so infrequent that a Petteri Nokelainen signing in Finland becomes noteworthy. However, there are some rumors with substance to them and when some of these moves come to fruition you could find yourself on the plus or minus side of the fantasy ledger. Let's take a closer look and see if you can't be proactive and ensure that you have more of the former than the latter. Hang Tight On... Tomas Kaberle, Toronto – He'll be on the move, despite his no-trade clause. He'll waive it to go to a contender, despite what the spin doctors say. In Toronto, his responsibilities have all shifted to Dion Phaneuf, so it would be shocking if he even topped 45 points. But on a new team he could post 65. That's worth keeping at any price. Patrick O'Sullivan, free agent – His value can't be any lower. His minus-a million plus/minus rating last year plummeted him in the eyes of all fantasy owners. If you haven't dumped him by now, then hang in there. He'll bounce back on any team, but the right team could see him flourish. It's just so hard to see him as a failure after watching everything he did in all situations at both ends of the ice as a rookie. Tim Kennedy, free agent – The diminutive forward was just catching onto the NHL game in the final quarter of last season. So that makes him a nice sleeper, as most fantasy owners look at the final numbers and not the last quarter. Rumored to be possibly going to Columbus, Los Angeles, Phoenix or Atlanta. Lee Stempniak, free agent – He's rumoured to be signing soon with Phoenix. Since he enjoyed so much success there at the end of the last campaign, it's natural to assume that going back there would be the best fit for him. Bail Kevin Bieksa, Vancouver – He'll be moved somewhere thanks to the cap crunch in Vancouver. That means the rumor mill is really spinning for this guy, which in turn means the hype-machine is in overdrive – fantasy owners are overrating him. Yes, he has offensive talent and upside and yes a new locale will do him good. But a new city won't suddenly make him stop being a Band-Aid Boy. Take advantage of the hype and sell high. Radim Vrbata, Phoenix – If Stempniak signs, Vrbata could be out of the power-play mix. He looks like a 45-point player who teases of 65-point potential. But kiss both those numbers goodbye if Stempniak shows up in a Coyote uniform. Brian Lee, Ottawa – Not only has Erik Karlsson passed him on the depth chart (with authority, I might add), but the team added Sergei Gonchar. Also watch Patrick Wiercoch pass him in training camp...and next year David Rundblad will pass him. Bail now before the other guys catch on to this freefall. Jamie Langenbrunner, New Jersey – Nobody was hurt more by Ilya Kovalchuk's arrival than Langenbrunner. Kovalchuk's contract with the Devils – the latest one, that is – is all but official. Then Langenbrunner's numbers will "officially" plummet. Write comment

2013 USHJA International Hunter Derby Championship
The USHJA International Hunter Derby unveils its exciting new Championship format on August 15-17, 2013, at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, KY. Horses and riders compete for a guaranteed minimum of $110,000 of prize money and the title of the 2013 USHJA International Hunter Derby Champion. Every horse that earns a minimum of $500 in USHJA International Hunter Derby classes at competitions with a start date between June 2, 2012, and June 1, 2013, qualify to compete. The Sheila C. Johnson Ring in the spacious outdoor Rolex Stadium will once again host the event.
Prize Money and Entry Fee
Minimum Total Prize Money: $100,000 plus an additional $10,000 in the Consolation Round
A $750 entry fee will be implemented in 2013, 80% of which will be added back to the $100,000 guaranteed prize money and paid out to award winners. The more horses that enter, the higher the total prize money becomes!
2013 Sponsors
USHJA Official Sponsor USHJA Official Sponsor Official Cooler Sponsor Major Sponsor Awards Sponsor Awards Sponsor Awards Sponsor Awards Sponsor Awards Sponsor Consolation Competition Donor USHJA Contributing Sponsor USHJA Contributing Sponsor
Championship Format
The Derby tradition continues as all qualified and entered horses compete in the first round of competition over a Classic Hunter course featuring International Hunter Derby style fences, including height options. During the second phase of competition, an innovative new rider tier concept is introduced. Riders are grouped into two tiers based on their amount of Derby money won; to be classified as Tier I, a rider must be standing 20th or higher on the IHD Lifetime Rider Money Won list as of December 1, 2012. All other riders are classified as Tier II.
Two additional Handy Hunter Rounds are offered, one for each tier, for which qualifying is based on rider rank and the Classic Hunter Round performance. A minimum* of the top 20 horses from the Classic Hunter Round are invited to compete in the Tier I Section Handy Hunter Round for 75% of the total prize money and the title of the 2013 USHJA International Hunter Derby Champion. Both Tier I and Tier II riders are eligible to compete.
The Tier II Section Handy Hunter Round is open to a minimum* of the top 20 Tier II rider-and-horse combinations from the Classic Hunter Round. If a Tier II rider-and-horse combination is already qualified for the Tier I section, they must compete in the Tier I section but their scores carry forward to the standings of the Tier II section. The remaining 25% of the total prize money is awarded to the Tier II Section, and placings include all Tier II rider-and-horse combinations competing in either the Tier I or Tier II Section Handy Hunter Round. Under this format, Tier II rider-and-horse combinations are potentially eligible for prize money and placings from both tiers.
Final placings in both tiers are based off of composite scores from the Classic Hunter and Handy Hunter Rounds. Full Class Specifications available here.
* Should entries warrant, more than the top 20 horses will be invited to return.
Consolation Round
Garnering rave reviews in 2012, the Consolation Round returns in 2013 with a slightly different twist. This year all horses that do not qualify for either the Tier I or Tier II Handy Hunter rounds are eligible to compete in the Consolation Round, guaranteeing each entry in the Championship two rounds of competition. Each horse starts the Consolation Round with a clean slate, where no scores from the Classic Hunter Round carry forward. Horses compete for $10,000 in prize money with the top 12 horses taking home a share of the prize money.

"And we're not gods, we're just hacks."

Well, I think of it this way. They have been remaking the games, starting with Gen 1, then most revently Gen 2, why wouldn't they remake Gen 3 especially with the introduction of the 3DS. Ruby and Sapphire, one of the best generations, in the 3D, hell yes.
Also, the only region that is not available on a DS style game chip is Ruby and Sapphire, making it harder (obviously not that hard but still, its the concept) to get region exclusives.

Not to start anything, but "best generation" is certainly subjective. Gen II was an expectation because of how it latched itself onto Gen I. Gen III, you can argue all day and night that it could be remade because it was the original game that tried to "reboot" the series, but then argue that relying on past generations breaks the whole reboot thing.
And back to the issue of subjectivism, I doubt corporations are going to go on subjective views. At least I hope so (though comments Masuda makes sometimes really make me wonder...). In terms of sales, it would be the lowest if I recall, which again, you can argue was a result of the downfall that could be observed back in Gen II in terms of their declining sales, and the anime's apparent inability to keep its audience during the Johto saga.
On the article itself, I really don't like the second point, it just seemed weak.
Of course, I'm on the side that we should stop with the remakes for reasons that I could probably write an entire NB article about.
Ruby and Sapphire were the best selling games on the Game Boy Advance. "Lowest" for the series? Yes. But when you're selling 13 million copies of a game, I don't think that constitutes a failure.
The plainest reason they're remake Ruby and Sapphire is because the remakes would sell. The second and third reasons in the article are pretty weak (Connectivity to Hoenn didn't stop them from putting Hoenn Starters and Legends in HGSS/Point 3 isn't very objective). The only one that holds some weight is the first (comparing the tech), but that sounds more like a reason not to remake Diamond/Pearl, since they can still be played on the same console as BW and future 3DS games.
On the note of point 3, Game Freak was basically BSing us. Masuda's idea of shaking up our conception of Pokemon was to trade outside Pokemon Centres. I've seen people say they've basically "gone back to Gen I" (in the good way) that they placed emphasis on the League again rather than just the side plot. Objectively speaking, many Pokemon designs were throwbacks to past generations, and there were many references to past games, as well as suddenly having old Pokemon appear in the wild post-E4.
Really, the only way that the franchise "moved forward" was because Game Freak said it did, even when evidence suggests that they didn't move as far forward as they would claim.
From Generation I to their remakes using the earliest english release:1) We are closer to Generation III now than we were to Generation I eight years ago.
From Ruby & Sapphire to today, also using the earliest english release:From and including: Midnight between Tuesday, September 29, 1998 and Wednesday, September 30, 1998
To, but not including : Midnight between Monday, September 6, 2004 and Tuesday, September 7, 2004
The duration is 2169 days, 0 hours, 0 minutes and 0 seconds
Or 5 years, 11 months, 8 days excluding the end date
In the literal sense, though, 8 years ago, we were about 5 years apart from Generation I, and today, we are about 8 years apart from Generation III, though this isn't as accurately calculated as the above dates. If duration matters for remakes, then Ruby & Sapphire deserve remakes more than Red & Green (Blue) did when FireRed and LeafGreen were released.From and including: Midnight between Tuesday, March 18, 2003 and Wednesday, March 19, 2003
To, but not including : Midnight between Wednesday, September 28, 2011 and Thursday, September 29, 2011
The duration is 3116 days, 0 hours, 0 minutes and 0 seconds
Or 8 years, 6 months, 10 days excluding the end date
That is true, however, games from Generation III are quite hard to find, unless they are used copies, and most of the time, they are expensive. But, it isn't an issue of connectivity, as Gamefreak could have easily inserted some of the Pokémon from Kanto and Johto into the other games, and those who wanted to experience those games would have to buy the old cartridges, and the Gameboy. Some Johto and Kanto Pokémon were in fact available in Hoenn and Sinnoh, but that didn't stop the remakes.2) We can still (technically) connect to Gen III
Every new Generation is supposed to be the future. Black & White were just a way for Gamefreak to draw in new fans, and the Pokémon issue was just to not give the old players an unfair advantage, as they know which Pokémon is good or bad for a certain task. Ruby and Sapphire themselves were "the future", and they played it better than Black & White did; by completely rejecting all connectivity to the old games, and Hoenn being a region on it's own, as opposed to Johto being connected to Kanto. There was a new plot, and mostly new Pokémon, even though some old ones were found in the wild.3) Generation V is supposed to be the future
As it was with arguments for Generation II remakes; new fans didn't get to play the older games.
Are RS remakes neccesary? No. Would they gain a lot of profit if they were remade? Yes. Is money the reason stuff is done is our economy? That's usually the main reason, yes.
I agree with the article, but also render it void. That's my stance on any pro or anti remake arguments, anyway.
Gamefreak would make money, it would be a best seller on the game lists, and the fans would party. It's not necessary, but neither was HGSS.
Their are only two reasons that a pokemon game is necessary...
1) First two games in a new Generation.
2) Cant get access to a certain region because of hardware.
Those are the only times a game is necessary, the reason they make the "unnecessary" games is too....
1) Please the fans
2) Make money
And if it hasn't been apparent by now that they are going to follow the pattern of remaking the Gen's in order, and that (hopefully) Gen III is going to be the first 3D pokemon game, I dont know what is.

What i found as a profound hint that ruby sapphire would be remade was the presence of basculin. Thats all. So whether they are necessary or not doesn't matter now.
However, i'l give my example. I didnt get why there was so much hype around HG and SS simply because i never really played gen 2. Gen 3 was my first exposure so just the same way as the original fans of gen 2 were hyped for the remakes, people like me are hyped for these remakes.
The only thing that I would use as a hint for the RS remakes are the re-introduction of Dive, feature only found in the Generation III games.
Regarding the points, the second one isn't really strong. And it's true; no remake is necessary, but for the fans, to see a game they played and loved in the past make it more valuable. I, for one, liked (amongst all Pokémon games) RSE the least, but that doesn't mean I won't wait for the remakes to happen.

Bucks win their exhibition opener over Cleveland
Wisconsin Sports-- The Milwaukee Bucks won their exhibition opener against Cleveland last night, 97-80 in Canton Ohio.
The Milwaukee Bucks won their exhibition opener against Cleveland last night, 97-80 in Canton Ohio. The Bucks pulled away in the second quarter, and they led by double figures for most of the second half. Milwaukee back-up guard Beno Udrih suffered a head injury when it hit the knee of his teammate Larry Sanders in the first quarter. Udrih was face down on the floor for several minutes, but he walked to the locker room under his own power. He was taken to a hospital where a C-T scan showed no evidence of a concussion. Udrih returned to the arena, and flew back home with his teammates after playing for just 45 seconds. He said he just got a bump on the back of his head. Six Milwaukee players scored in double figures, led by guards Brandon Jennings and Monta Ellis with 15 apiece. The Bucks blocked eight shots, and center Samuel Dalembert had three. The Cavaliers committed 22 turnovers, which led to 26 Milwaukee points. C-J Miles scored 18 for Cleveland, and Kyrie Irving – the N-B-A's top rookie last season – had 16. The Cavs' top draft pick, Dion Walters, was benched in the fourth quarter for taking an off-balance 23-foot shot. Coach Byron Scott said he drew up a play, and Walters messed it up. Cleveland was playing a night after it defeated an Italian team. The Bucks will play their second exhibition game at home on Saturday night against Detroit.

The chance for change came during the aftermath of the French invasion of Spain in 1808, when Napoléon Bonaparte replaced King Ferdinand VII with his brother Joseph on the Spanish throne. Most peninsulares backed the king; most criollos, however, inspired by the example of the recent American and French revolutions, talked and dreamed of independence. One such group, urged on by a firebrand parish priest, acted.
El Grito de Dolores
"¡Viva México! Death to the gachupines!" Father Miguel Hidalgo, shouting his impassioned grito from the church balcony in the Guanajuato town of Dolores on September 16, 1810, ignited action. A mostly indígena, machete-wielding army of 20,000 coalesced around Hidalgo and his compatriots, Ignacio Allende and Juan Aldama. Their ragtag force raged out of control through the Bajío, massacring hated gachupines and pillaging their homes.
Hidalgo advanced on Mexico City but, unnerved by stiff royalist resistance, retreated and regrouped around Guadalajara. His rebels, whose numbers had swollen to 80,000, were no match for a disciplined, 6,000-strong royalist force. On January 17, 1811, Hidalgo (now "Generalisimo") fled north toward the United States but was soon apprehended, defrocked, and executed. His head and those of his comrades hung from the walls of the Guanajuato granary for 10 years in compensation for the slaughter of 138 gachupines by Hidalgo's army.
The 10-Year Struggle
Others carried on, however. A mestizo former student of Hidalgo, José María Morelos, led a revolutionary shadow government in the present states of Guerrero and Oaxaca for four years until he was apprehended and executed in December 1815.
Morelos's compatriot, Vicente Guerrero, continued the fight, joining forces with criollo royalist Brigadier Agustín de Iturbide. Their Plan de Iguala promised "Three Guarantees'—the renowned Trigarantes: Independence, Catholicism, and Equality—which their army (commanded by Iturbide) would enforce. On September 21, 1821, Iturbide rode triumphantly into Mexico City at the head of his army of Trigarantes. Mexico was independent at last.
Independence, however, solved little except to expel the peninsulares. With an illiterate populace and no experience in self-government, Mexicans began a tragic 40-year love affair with a fantasy: the general on the white horse, the gold-braided hero who could save them from themselves.
The Rise and Fall of Agustín I
Iturbide, crowned Emperor Agustín I by the bishop of Guadalajara on July 21, 1822, soon lost his charisma. In a pattern that became sadly predictable for generations of topsy-turvy Mexican politics, an ambitious garrison commander issued a pronunciamiento or declaration of rebellion against him; old revolutionary heroes endorsed a plan to install a republic. Iturbide, his braid tattered and brass tarnished, abdicated in February 1823.
Antonio López de Santa Anna, the eager 28-year-old military commander of Veracruz, whose pronunciamiento had pushed Iturbide from his white horse, maneuvered to gradually replace him. Meanwhile, throughout the late 1820s the government teetered on the edge of disaster as the presidency bounced between liberal and conservative hands six times in three years. During the last of these upheavals, Santa Anna jumped to prominence by defeating an abortive Spanish attempt at counterrevolution at Tampico in 1829. "The Victor of Tampico," people called Santa Anna.
The Disastrous Era of Santa Anna
In 1833, the government was bankrupt; mobs demanded the ouster of conservative President Anastasio Bustamante, who had executed the rebellious old revolutionary hero Vicente Guerrero. Santa Anna issued a pronunciamiento against Bustamante; Congress obliged, elevating Santa Anna to "Liberator of the Republic" and naming him president in March 1833.
Santa Anna would pop in and out of the presidency like a jack-in-the-box 10 more times before 1855. First, he foolishly lost Texas to rebellious Anglo settlers in 1836; then he lost his leg (which was buried with full military honors) fighting the emperor of France.
Santa Anna's greatest debacle, however, was to declare war on the United States with just 1,839 pesos in the treasury. With his forces poised to defend Mexico City against a relatively small 10,000-man American invasion force, Santa Anna inexplicably withdrew. United States Marines surged into the "Halls of Montezuma," Chapultepec Castle, where Mexico's six beloved Niños Héroes cadets fell in the losing cause on September 13, 1847.
In the subsequent treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, Mexico lost nearly half of its territory—the present states of New Mexico, Arizona, California, Nevada, Utah, and Colorado—to the United States. Mexicans have never forgotten; they have looked upon gringos with a combination of awe, envy, admiration, and disgust ever since.
For Santa Anna, however, enough was not enough. Called back as president for the last and 11th time in 1853, Santa Anna financed his final extravagances by selling off a part of southern New Mexico and Arizona for $10 million in what was known as the Gadsden Purchase.

Took a ride to Copper Peak to watch the hill climb challenge today. I've been at every one and this may be the most snow I've seen. I got there a tad early and the car said -17 f. I don't know if that's correct but it sure was cold. A very stormy ride down and back.. Took my 5 year old as he has been coming since he's been born. $40 to park and $10 to get in=ouch. We left a tad early as my little guy was getting sick of the car and it was to cold outside to sit for any length of time.
Enjoy. Gman

Marine Leadership
Page 1 of 7
The United States Marine Corps exemplifies the finest in military virtue. What truly sets Marines apart from all the others is leadership. Leadership is encouraged from the moment Marines enter boot camp, and is emphasized throughout their career. A strong part of leadership is self-discipline and performing to the very best of your capabilities even when not under direct supervision. Leadership is not simply directing others, it is a selfless giving of yourself to guide and direct the activities of others.
The Marine Corps has established a set of guidelines called Leadership Principles, which help leaders in their day-to-day contact with their subordinates.
Leadership Principles
- Know yourself and seek self-improvement
- Be technically and tactically proficient
- Develop a sense of responsibility among your subordinates
- Make sound and timely decisions
- Set the example
- Know your Marines and look out for their welfare
- Keep your Marines informed

- Ensure assigned tasks are understood, supervised, and accomplished
- Train your Marines as a team
- Employ your command in accordance with its capabilities

I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for this thread but i have a question on my mind and since my question is about wordpress and this is the wordpress discussion forum i figured it is the right place to post it.
My question is: Do people want wordpress websiteS?
In other words, do you think people will hire someone to make wordpress websites for them? To me it looks like small businesses will prefer to have websites built from scratch instead of with wordpress. However, a lot of wordpress themes look great it does not really make a difference whether or not your website is built with wordpress or not.
In general, do you think a wordpress website creation service would be profitable or not really? I am quite interested in designing websites but i only know wordpress so i would like to discuss the matter further before i start seriously advertising my wordpress website creation services. You can check out my website [URL removed by mod - wait for signature] to see the type of services i am offering. I simply want to know your opinion on this little business venture, do you think its worth putting in hundreds of hours of effort into advertising or not?

Sadistic harbingers of unlimited degeneracy continually stab at our comfort and complacency with tales of impending apocalypse. Crazed hordes feasting on raw flesh and monsters that particularly enjoy maggot-infused eyeballs are popular ways to end the world. Permuted Press, publisher and connoisseur of cataclysmic scenarios, even encourages us to relax and enjoy it. Certainly you can't throw a librarian without hitting a book on the annihilation of humanity. Although momentarily unsettling, after reading the epilogue we always emerge, shaken but safe, in our well-governed, relatively clean, monster-free world.
THE INFECTION (Permuted Press), Craig DiLouie's (pictured) prediction for our planetary devastation, is gripping, but still fits the category, at least on the surface. A virus hits. Worldwide, people suddenly cry out in agony across the desert, through the cities, at the office, in the mall and in the classrooms. It's terrifying. Comrades, janitors, mothers, bankers, and students scream bloody murder, then fall down, comatose. The unaffected watch, stunned, frightened, then remove their fallen to hospitals and sick-beds.
A few days later, there is a collective sigh of relief as loved ones regain consciousness. The celebration lasts about three minutes, then Hell breaks loose. The initial affliction, referred to as "the screaming," becomes, presumably, a pandemic viral infection. The virus produces uncontrollable rage, which incites the obligatory mayhem and cannibalism. Fortunately, the infected berserkers can be brought down with conventional weapons—for the time being.
Fans of horror aren't easily intimidated by the undead, the re-animated, the psychotic, or the enraged. They would like to be terrified; that's definitely the goal. But even the meekest readers eventually desensitize and become jaded. There's got to be a jagged edge somewhere in the work that can still slash that thickened skin. So what makes THE INFECTION worth reading? Why is it just a bit more disturbing than other horrific tales of the end of days? The book's closed. How come I can't shake it?
DiLouie's story has a few tricks up its sleeve, making it a stand out book in an otherwise glutted genre. First, the author's style is perfectly suited to the urgency of his tale. He uses an active voice that reads smoothly and naturally, making the prose swift and straightforward; pages fly by. Omniscient present tense places the reader intimately within the story, and creates tension and suspense. The reader is crammed into a claustrophobic and heavily armored Bradley, sweating, stinking and suffering alongside the crew.
DiLouie alternates his real-time with flashbacks of each individual's story, effectively writing realistic people who escape stereotype and act precisely within their unique parameters. Fine character crafting allows DiLouie to briefly explore several intriguing metaphysical angles from realistic human perspectives without preaching. These moments add a little food for thought and an interesting sophistication to the novel. The personality development is so successful, in fact, that any story about these people would be entertaining, even without the frequent decapitations. This authorial technique invests the reader; it's refreshing in a book where everyone probably dies anyway, so why bother to flesh out a character?
Another step above for DiLouie is the advanced language and detail he uses to describe military equipment and engagement. The hero and some of his crew are recalled from infected Afghanistan to help deal with the anarchy at home. Weapons, strategies and lingo are understandably and effectively interwoven to produce an intense war-zone atmosphere that avoids losing readers to overtly specialized jargon or alien experience. The military aspect of the story manages to engage the reader primarily because DiLouie keeps his scenarios reasonable and understated.
Lots of horror stories fail here, because too many questions are raised that go unanswered, frustrating the reader and breeding contempt for the author. The most famous is, "What'd she go to the basement for, anyway?" But DiLouie keeps his characters' misjudgments, blunders and breakdowns fairly within reason. They watch each other's backs effectively and deal sensibly with the devastation, freaking out when nothing else would make sense.
Like most of its contemporaries, THE INFECTION doesn't assert any definitive scientific or philosophic answers, and this is probably wise. If we're actually faced with an apocalyptic epidemic that shuts civilization down in a couple of days, it's likely we'll never know what hit us. DiLouie does, however, make some wildly imaginative speculation, again setting his novel apart and marking his plot with some demented twists. These variations from your run-of-the-mill Armageddon are arguably the weakest points for fans of realism, but are also its coolest aspects.
First, the enraged infected, whose driving goal is to contaminate others, don't bother to spread the virus to children. They have a much better use for them. And what we're conveniently calling a "virus" also has a plan, a gruesome, aggressive and horrifying campaign. So while some elements edge the book toward the sci-fi realm, the sheer volume of blood and gore keep it securely horror-bound.
Best of all, DiLouie writes in an entire cast of hideous monsters and does a fabulous job describing them in gruesome detail. Some are gargantuan destroyers, nearly impossible to vanquish, others are nasty conglomerate mutants that are tough, but doable. My personal favorites are an assortment of spindly pathetic creepers that whine and screech and stab and claw and just keep lurching forward or drop down on your head from above. Very scary in the way only a small, insidious thing can be.
We know the end is near; the shelves are full of crazy speculation on humanity meeting its maker. We need writers to create supernatural terror that keeps us distracted and delusional, because plain old nuclear radiation melting our flesh and burning everything in hellfire is too real and depressing to deal with. But without some credibility, the book's too easily dismissed. DiLouie carefully recreates our society and our military, populates it with people we want to know, then proceeds to bring the horror, devastation, and heroes we require to sustain our illusion of sanity and security.
Other horror and apocalyptic works by Craig DiLouie include TOOTH AND NAIL (Schmidt Haus, 2010), 2002's PARANOIA and THE GREAT PLANET ROBBERY, both from Salvo Press.

Students have the advantage of practicing most radiographic procedures on campus in one of two energized laboratories while using fully digital processing equipment, as well as taking part in direct patient contact during the clinical components of the program.
Upon meeting program completion requirements, graduates are eligible to apply for the American Registry of Radiologic Technology (ARRT) examination. Successful completion of the ARRT exam grants certification required for licensure in West Virginia and most other states. Individuals with prior felony or certain misdemeanor convictions may not be eligible for certification by the ARRT and/or licensure by state agencies. Also individuals with prior felony or certain misdemeanor convictions may not be permitted to attend clinical due to various clinical site policies. In such cases students would not be permitted to continue in the program or complete the degree.
For information about the Radiologic Technology Program contact the program director at email@example.com.

It was totally unintentional!
As you know I am a mummy to two kids, and both my kids have after school activities. My daughter is a cheerleader and has training twice a week, and, my son attends Taekwondo also twice a week.
On top of that, I have been busy trying to up my fitness levels. I attend my gym 5 times a week. Monday, I have attended Body Balance
It's a fabulous class, it incorporates Tai-Chi, Yoga and Pilates. My fitness instructor suggested I try it to help regain my core stability which I lost when I had to quit running due to my injury And as I have practiced Yoga, on and off for about 5 yrs I thought I would give it a go. And honestly, I am evaluating my relationship with yoga now as I flipping loved my Body Balance class.
My son's Taekwondo instructor has started a kickboxing class, so now I attend that on Tuesdays and Thursday morning, I run on Wednesday and Fridays, and on a Friday night, my daughters cheerleading coach started a mummy's evening of Cheerleading, which is a blast, great cardio workout, although us mummys don't do the stunts, particularly the throwing of one another!
So yes, I have been pretty manic for the past couple of weeks!
And, I have been smoke free for 1 month this Saturday.
Just as well I quit smoking as my gas bill for my car has increased with all the running around!

Ferret-dûr video
Ferret-dûr video
Hmmm...wasn't that actually "eine Ferrettür"?
So many bugs, so little time.
Ferret frottage is big in Japan.
Ferret decoupage' is banned in West Dakota.
It is illegal throughout the civilized world for ferrets to become farriers. In some jurisdictions, however, they may be trained and permitted to braid a horse's mane, but only if they've first learned how to knit.
Ferrets can operate ferries, as long as they have a valid boating license.
I wonder if ferrets tell jokes while they braid horses manes? Then they would be cheerful. And if they have cocktails at the same time, they will be quite cheerful indeed!
Yes, ferrets respond cheerfully to one common product of fermentation, but the horses have to share some too, otherwise they get nervous about how the braiding will look.
The BKFT forum (Bad Knitting Ferrets Today) has a Fun-n-Games thread entitled "Could cheerful astronomers be presuaded to run through tubes".
I suspect astronomers are only cheerful after
getting the grant application and by then they
have jumped through too many hoops to be
make the very best
So many bugs, so little time.
My bologna has a first name,
It's F-E-R-R-E-T.
My bologna has a second name,
It's S-A-U-S-A-G-E.
Oh Oh Oh
It's Bonomo
BAUT is a government funded cheerleading, beer heaving & ferret training facility. Meerkats need not apply.
I've always enjoyed the beer heaving part, but some time ago one of the ferrets from Oz introduced me to McWilliams Merlot after I could no longer find the Black Swan variety in my local store, and I was quite pleased by that too. I wonder, who is training whom?
Meekrats may apply. Proudrats are definitely out, though.
And the Meekrats shall inherit the cheese.
We've taken care of everything
The words you hear, the songs you sing
The pictures that give pleasure to your eyes
It's one for all and all for one
We work together, common sons
Never need to wonder how or why....
Oh, wait. You said meerkats. Well, I don't know the rest of the lyrics for that one. Sorry. Won't happen again.
So many bugs, so little time.
Oh, no, it wouldn't be ferret all to stop you from finishing that little ditty.
Well, ferrets rush in where fools fear to knit, and all that.
So many bugs, so little time.
Yes, white man say. And we know how they're always bang on the money.
Ferret sake is usually served at ferret body temperature: 39C.
Many sophisticated ferrets prefer a French pinot gigolo.
Oh no...no no no...the snobbery of the vine
is about to invade this little corner!
Barman!... give me a mink stoat quickly!
The meekrats shall inherit the Earth, for we will bury them in it.
The truth about ferrets is that they are by far outpopulated by squirrels, have no connections and are never invited to dinner parties. Who cares where they're buried? No one.

Now I know the answer is no if your gonna paint the car, but mines gonna be in primer for awhile. I wouldn't bother, but I have two problems with the primer job.
#1 This was my first tape and flame job. As hard as I tried, there is a few areas that paint got around the tape. I'd like to rub it off with rubbing compound
#2 Heres the biggie. I have these two weird shiny spots on both quarter panels. I think the uphoulstry shop guys either got something on it, or they rubbed against it till it built up a shine. It won't scrub down to the semi gloss, and I tried solvent, but I am afraid to try thiner.
Suggestions? Tips?? Thanks!!!
