"Disney Princesses" All

How about Lotta Lamour from the Tale Spin episode "The Road to Macadamia"? She's literally a princess, after all.

I don't know that Lotta Lamour was ever a candidate. The choices seem to be movie characters and TV characters who had recurring roles. Lotta, of course, only appeared the one time.
How about Kim Possible? Mrs. Possible? Cadpig? Spot the Chicken? Do you see them anywhere?

April, May and June never appeared on TV to my knowledge, and I only recall seeing Grandma Duck on "This is Your Life, Donald Duck". Brigitta MacBridge has been excluded, despite having made a handful of appearances in American Disney comics from the end of Gladstone's 1980's run and all the way to BOOM's line of Disney comics, most notably Scarpa's "Lights Fantastic" in Walt Disney's Valentine Classics. But I suppose that can be overlooked as Brigitta is probably better known in Italy than anywhere else.

If they included female characters of importance from the films, shouldn't Wendy Darling be there?
Maybe the drawing was done before "Wreck-It Ralph" came out, but I would include the two main females from that film. I.E., Vanillope van Schweetz and Sergeant Calhoun.

You're correct, AM&J were exclusively comic-book characters, and Grandma mostly appeared in comic books and the DONALD daily strip.

You're right re: Wendy Darling (and I think she had a little sister as well, correct?). As for the WRECK-IT RALPH characters, this montage may have been created before that movie was released; I don't have a release date for it.
- June 1, 2013 at 12:59 PM
Whoops! I see Wendy Darling is in that montage, between Esmerelda and Alice. And while Wendy had two brothers, her only female relatives in films were her mother, Mary, and her daughter, Jane, who is the protagonist in "Return to Neverland."
But look closely. Between Wendy and Esmerelda is a fifinella! And while fifinellas appeared in the book "Walt Disney's The Gremlins," and in a three-issue comic book series about ten years ago, they never appeared on TV or in a film. They also were on the unit insignia of the World War Two group, the WASPS. (That is, Women's Army Service PilotS.) They test-flew new planes as they came off the assembly lines, ferried aircraft all over the U.S., and towed gunnery sleeves at anti-aircraft training ranges.
Sometimes the new gunners got things mixed up, and shot at the towplane instead of the target sleeve, so it was dangerous work for the ladies. ("But Sarge, you said a plane towing a sleeve would fly over, and I was supposed to shoot that.")
The WASPS did not get status as military veterans until long after 1945.

Micro needles are the latest skin therapy system. It works on so many common skin issues, because it effectively tackles the root cause of skin problems--lack of collagen. Young and healthy skin is invariably free of any blemishes wrinkles or marks. Since the micro needles work to increase collagen levels, it effectively helps your body create new, young, and perfect skin without damaging your body and without unnecessary and expensive treatments. It can treat wrinkles, acne, scars, and burn scars. A person's skin complexion is one of the first things we notice.
Stretch Marks
Stretch marks occur when the skin tears during rapid periods of growth. Stretch mark removal is the number one reason for buying a micro needle roller. Results are quick to show and because stretch marks tend to appear in fleshy areas of the body, they are a very simple issue to treat. Thousands of people have already benefited from the very simple process and the results that you will achieve are permanent.
Acne Scars and Pitted Scars
Acne scars have formed when the skin surface has been broken during severe acne outbreaks. Similar in appearance to pitted scars they create a dimpled effect, usually found on the face. Gentle use of the micro needle roller effectively treats acne scars and pitted scars to leave your skin looking even and healthy. Whilst care needs to be taken over which needle length to choose, effective acne scar treatments leave your skin looking incredible.
Fine Lines and Wrinkles
Micro Needle Roller treatments are fantastic as an anti aging product in their own right but work even more effectively in conjunction with anti wrinkle creams, moisturisers and other similar anti aging products. Working on even the smallest of wrinkles, this device will roll back the years from the very first use.
Scar Reduction
Treating scars with a micro needle roller can see a huge improvement in the skin surface, regardless of the size or age of the scar. Whilst complete scar removal on deep scars is unlikely, their appearance will certainly by improved massively. If used in conjunction with other scar removal treatments involving creams or serums, you will see a massive boost to these products effectiveness.
Hair Loss Treatment
The micro needle roller itself cannot turn back the clock on hair loss or give you a full head of hair. What it does do is give the opportunity for specialist hair restoration products (such as regaine or minoxil) to work far more effectively. We are not hair experts and we cannot say with confidence whether these products work or not. What we can say with confidence that skin needling will undoubtedly make these products work much more effectively than if they were used in isolation.
How to use?
1. Before performing the treatment, you must first identify the suitable needle length for use.
2. Disinfect position need cared and the equipment.
3. Clean skin, rinse thoroughly and towel dry. Apply suitable functional nutrition on skin need to be cared if required.
4. Roll back and forth horizontally, vertically and diagonally at least 4 – 5 times across the area of urge and keep equably in speed and pressure. The entire process should require no more than 10 minutes (Please see below diagram).
5.Apply nutrition or mask products on skin where be cared, and pay attention to defending skin inflammation
Rolling after-care
If you roll with 0.5 mm needles or shorter, no special after care is needed.
If you roll with needles longer than 0.5 mm, the skin will turn red (like sunburn), sensitive and might get slightly swollen for several hours. Keep the area moist. For the first couple of days, the best choice is to cover the area with a very thin layer of an occlusive ointment that contains vit. A. and D. Do not expose the rolled areas to the sun for several days and thereafter, use a sunscreen lotion with a high protective factor. Wait two or three days with applying makeup as well.
The rolled area might start "peeling" after some days. Don't pick at the loose skin.
Collagen production is a very slow process and it can't be rushed. Do not expect miracles too soon. It can take up to 10 months to get substantial results.

Second, I found someone else who shares your love for oreos (He didn't specify what kind of oreos but I thought you'd get a kick out of the following conversation!)
(This conversation happened while Prof McDuffee was walking past my desk)
"Do you smell oreo cookies?"
"No, do you?"
"Suspiciously so, suspiciously so."
As he leans toward the faculty lounge window to look at his mailbox he continues,
"I had hoped that whoever passed through with them might have left some in my box."

Germ Genie kills keyboard germs
Scientists at the University of Hertfordshire proved the effectiveness of Germ Genie, a tool to prevent infections from keyboards, which was launched in October.
Germ Genie, which was developed by Falcon Innovations and tested at the University of Hertfordshires Biodet laboratory was launched at the Total Workplace Management show on 6-7 October and the Hospital Infection Society Conference in Liverpool on 11-13 October.
The results of the University of Hertfordshires tests on E.Coli, Staphylococcus Aureus and Bacillus Subtillis, reveal that Germ Genie kills ninety-nine percent of germs across most of the keyboard in just two minutes, and across the whole keyboard in ten minutes.
The Genie works by sensing finger movement on the computer keyboard, and after the user has finished it sanitises the keyboard with UV light. This treatment leaves the keyboard ready for the next user so they will not pick up microbes that would otherwise have posed a risk of passing on infections like Flu, MRSA and E.Coli. Unlike other solutions, it will sanitise the keyboard many times each day, at exactly the times it is needed after each user.
Richard Smith, Director of Biodet said: We were given a Germ Genie and we did the testing to show that it worked. The science of UV light being anti-microbial is well established, but the Germ Genie had not been tested thoroughly to show that it worked on computer keyboards.
James Louttit, Managing Director of Falcon Innovations said: We were very pleased to work with the University of Hertfordshire. They have been very responsive in answering the question does Germ Genie work? and bringing a scientific rigour to the testing. We expected the results to be good, but it is invaluable to us to be able to demonstrate a ninety-nine percent kill across the keyboard. The University of Hertfordshire has really lived up to their reputation as a business friendly institution, and as a start-up entrepreneur, I have been very pleasantly surprised at what can be achieved when academic institutions work with business.

'They won this one largely in goal, with Miller badly outplaying U.S. Olympic backup Tim Thomas.'
Archives for March 30, 2010
'"It's pretty exciting because I definitely have a lot of roots here," Gerbe said. "I played some pretty critical games here in the Garden against [Boston University] so it's a lot of fun to come back. I've been looking forward to playing in Boston for a while since I turned pro."'
Miller bounced back for the Sabres
'This season, few teams have been able to figure out Miller, one of the league's smartest and coolest in the clutch.'
Ex-BC star Nathan Gerbe enjoys Garden visit
'"I thought I played pretty well in those two games," the diminutive Gerbe said. "You can always play better, but I felt confident and strong and the speed felt good. Hopefully I can get back to playing like that again."'
Paille, Montador happy to have traded places
'Nobody knows better than Paille that Buffalo has a seemingly endless line of young players, especially forwards, ready to advance from the minors. He was once one of those kids, after all, and he was ultimately made expendable by the presence of youngsters like rookie Tim Kennedy, who has spent this entire season in Buffalo, plus Tyler Ennis, Mark Mancari and ex-Boston College standout Nathan Gerbe, the trio summoned from Portland, Maine (AHL), over the weekend. "There's a lot of young talent in the organization," Paille said.'

'Ryan Miller made 40 saves, including Marco Sturm's penalty shot in the first period, in a matchup of last month's USA Olympic goaltenders.'
Buffalo 3, Boston 2
'Starter Tim Thomas was pulled after allowing three goals on 14 shots in 26-plus minutes. Tuukka Rask stopped all 19 shots he faced the rest of the way.'
Sabres Hang On For 3-2 Win Over Bruins
'Tyler Myers continued his Calder push by picking up two points, including a goal and an assist, and Tim Kennedy scored his 9th of the season to help lift Buffalo. Ryan Miller turned in a 40-save performance as the Sabres opened up their division lead to seven points.'

Spiritualized | 01/01/70
If you've listened to the really rather brilliant track "Hey Jane" by Spiritualized yet (and if you haven't, really, there's no excuse) you'll know it's pretty – to correctly use a word so often misused nowadays – epic. A 9 minute cascade of sonic bliss, meticulously produced and arranged; it's classic J Spaceman.
And such impressive pop music deserves a video of a similar ambition – step forward director AG Rojas. Rojas who has previously shot for Jamie XX & Gil Scott, Earl Sweatshirt & Emeli Sandé, sets our protagonist Frida (Tyra Sanchez) within a decidedly seedy backdrop in which she's desperately trying to uphold normality for her son.
Here it is, though it's a bit tough and perhaps not quite work-safe, so save it for lunchtime:
Hey Jane is Spiritualized's first single from new album Sweet Heart Sweet Light, which is another truly awesome body of work from the anthemic master. It's been three years in the making for renowned perfectionist Jason Spaceman and it's absolutely worth the wait. Sweet Heart Sweet Light is available for pre-order now.

Subject: Authentication in an Internet Banking Environment
Date: October 12, 2005
To: Chief Executive Officers of All National Banks, Federal Branches and Agencies, Technology Service Providers, Department and Division Heads, and All Examining Personnel
Description: Interagency Guidance
The guidance attached to this bulletin continues to apply to federal savings associations.
The Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) has issued the attached guidance, "Authentication in an Internet Banking Environment." This updated interagency guidance, which replaces the FFIEC's Authentication in an Electronic Banking Environment, issued in 2001, specifically addresses the need for risk-based assessment, customer awareness, and security measures to authenticate customers using a financial institution's Internet-based services.
This guidance applies to both retail and commercial customers and does not endorse any particular technology. National banks should use this guidance when evaluating and implementing authentication systems and practices whether they are provided internally or by a technology service provider. Although this guidance is focused on the risks and risk management techniques associated with the Internet delivery channel, the principles are applicable to all forms of electronic banking activities.
Consistent with the FFIEC Information Technology Examination Handbook, Information Security Booklet December 2002, financial institutions should periodically:
Examiners should begin to assess national banks' progress in meeting the expectations outlined in the guidance and, thereafter, monitor ongoing conformance as needed during the risk-based supervisory process. Banks are expected to have achieved conformance with the guidance by year–end 2006.
For questions concerning the guidance, contact Bank Information Technology at (202) 647-6340.

Aerospace Corporation CEO Wanda Austin Receives Clarkson University Honorary Degree
Wanda M. Austin, president and chief executive officer of the Aerospace Corporation, a leading architect for the nation's national security space programs, received an honorary doctor of science degree at Clarkson University's 120th Commencement on Saturday, May 11.
Austin is internationally recognized for her work in satellite and payload system acquisition, systems engineering, and system simulation.
The degree was awarded for her "commitment to engineering and creating secure communications between ground stations on Earth and satellites operating in orbit, for her dedication to mathematics and the study of system dynamics yielding novel modeling tools that analyze real-world data, and for her leadership that is inspiring future generations of scientists, mathematicians and engineers."
Saying she was, "honored to meet the inspired -- and inspiring -- graduates," Austin applauded Clarkson's administration, faculty and staff for their commitment to ensuring an outstanding education.
She added, "Your focus on leading innovation and benefitting humanity provides the graduates with the balance of tools needed to become our future leaders."
Acknowledging that Clarkson has the second highest percentage of students who serve in ROTC, Austin said, "Special congratulations and thanks for developing one of the best Army and Air Force ROTC programs in the nation."
As a CEO, she said she's traveled the world meeting -- and learning from-- lots of talented people. And speaking directly to the graduates, she assured them that they, too, would become "the leaders and problem solvers of the future."
Austin said that, as the recipient of an honorary degree and a mom, she put together a list of the top ten lessons she's learned. Drawing cheers and applause from the graduates, she said the list is short enough to Tweet:
10. Get a Job
9. Commit to your education – commit to continuous learning
8. Listen twice as much as you talk
7. Maintain a work/life balance; work is not the meaning of life
6. Vote!
5. Make peace, not war-- seek win-win solutions
4. Do what you love-- find your passion and your voice
3. Think globally
2. Give back more than you receive
1. Get a job! Have a plan to become self-sustaining
The Aerospace Corporation is an independent, nonprofit organization dedicated to the objective application of science and technology toward the solution of critical issues affecting the nation's space program. It has nearly 4,000 employees and annual revenues of more than $850 million.
Austin previously was senior vice president of the company's National Systems Group, which supports the national security space and intelligence community. Prior to that, Austin served as the company's senior vice president of the Engineering and Technology Group.
Before joining Aerospace, Austin was a member of the technical staff at Rockwell International.
She served on President Obama's Review of Human Spaceflight Plans Committee in 2009, and in 2010 was appointed to the Defense Science Board.
Austin earned a bachelor's degree in mathematics from Franklin & Marshall College, master's degrees in systems engineering and mathematics from the University of Pittsburgh, and a doctoral degree in systems engineering from the University of Southern California.
She is a fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), and is a member of the National Academy of Engineering, the International Academy of Astronautics, and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. She also serves on the board of directors of the Space Foundation, and on the board of trustees of the University of Southern California and the National Geographic Society.
Austin has received numerous awards and citations. Among them are the National Intelligence Medallion for Meritorious Service, the Air Force Scroll of Achievement, and the National Reconnaissance Office Gold Medal. In 2010, she received the AIAA von Braun Award for Excellence in Space Program Management, and is a recipient of the 2012 Horatio Alger Award.
Austin is committed to inspiring the next generation to study the STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) disciplines and to make science and engineering preferred career choices. Under her guidance, the Aerospace Corporation has undertaken a number of initiatives in support of this goal, including participation in MathCounts, US FIRST Robotics, and Change the Equation. Austin was among the first CEOs to commit to Change the Equation.
Clarkson University launches leaders into the global economy. One in five alumni already leads as a CEO, VP or equivalent senior executive of a company. Located just outside the Adirondack Park in Potsdam, N.Y., Clarkson is a nationally recognized research university for undergraduates with select graduate programs in signature areas of academic excellence directed toward the world's pressing issues. Through 50 rigorous programs of study in engineering, business, arts, sciences and health sciences, the entire learning-living community spans boundaries across disciplines, nations and cultures to build powers of observation, challenge the status quo, and connect discovery and engineering innovation with enterprise.

As a long-time fan, I'm glad this day finally came. While I'm not a big fan of Shelley Sterling sticking around in some way, she won't have anything to do with the day-to-day operations, so it'll be a non-factor anyway. While I understand Sam's point above, I'm still of the belief that Adam Silver laying the hammer down on Donald was more to do with all the other past transgressions, and that the tapes with the mistress with the final straw (especially given what was said). I also still believe that if David Stern was still in charge, I don't think he would have done anything to Donald Sterling (especially when Sterling did far worse in the past, and went unpunished). Yeah, the Players' Union and loss of sponsorships pretty much forced the issue on Silver to do something (and he acted swiftly), but we all know that Stern's arrogance would have been a bit of roadblock.
That said, congrats to the organization, and to all of the fellow fans--this franchise has taken major steps over the last five-six years to get where we are today, and we're still on the path of building a championship contender. Most importantly, we got over the biggest hurdle of all--Donald Tokowitz Sterling.
Monday should be hell of a scene at Staples at the fan rally.
She doesn't have any percentage right?
She doesn't have any percentage right?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I understand it, 10% of the proceeds of the sale are to set up a charitable foundation which Shelly will administer. I guess technically, the sale price is $1.8billion for the actual franchise plus $200million to give Shelly something to do with her time that is still 'connected' with the Clips and something to brag about at parties that makes her look like a philanthropist.
EDIT: Scratch that... it was taken out of the contract.
Suck my balls, Jalen Rose.
Happy bday Joe! May we all celebrate together on this glorious day!

Ballmer's letter to fans.
I am absolutely ecstatic! but does this mean Jamal Crawford will retire a clipper lol.. I'm just kidding! BALLMER NATION!
I Want a Ballmer Jersey with a 2B on it lol as his numbers
Clippers number one Twitter trend right now at 1:40 AM PST.
It's already settled and that crazy old toad still refuses to give up.He's just removing all doubt about his mental incapacitation.This man is devoid of any dignity.Well I say goodbye and good riddence!
Appeals court rejects Sterlings shot to block sale. The Fat Lady has sung her tune. Bye-bye The Donald.
http://www.latimes.com/sports/sportsnow ... story.html
http://www.latimes.com/sports/sportsnow ... story.html
Finally OVER!!!!!
This is a dream come true. Steve Helmets not only started a new era, but a new empire. Yes, an empire.
I choose to believe that the appeal judge gave Donald the full-on Dikembe Mutombo finger-wag as he snuffed out his last hope of retaining the team.
Attention Whore Darrell is now butthurt about Shelly calling herself the "#1 Fan" and madly retweeting anything negative about it. Can he please just drop the act and switch to the Lakers already like we all know he wants to do?
I saw the video on FoxSports.com, and he and the old lady both need to go away. Seriously, who gives a rat's ass about a front-running attention whore and an elderly woman whose husband is arguably the most hated sports figure in history. Hell, if anybody is a Number One Fan, it's us long-suffering fans who had to suffer through literally a generation-plus of mismanagement in more ways than one.
If everybody who attends games were the type of "#1 fan" that Darrell and Shelly are, there would BE no Clippers.
When was the last time either of them paid for a ticket?
Plenty of people here deserve VIP access, free tickets, and free parking more than Shelly. What a joke. I'm sure Ballmer was willing to bend over backwards to seal the deal as demonstrated by the $2B offer. It's shameful that Shelly would even have the nerve to ask for any of these concessions.
Shelly being the "#1 fan" is an insult to all of us. Great job "building" a world class organization. Only took you 30 years. Free tickets, free parking, VIP, etc. We have to drop 300 for shitty seats, and nearly 20 for I beer and nachos. Oh well, at least Donald is gone.
Spencer Hawes nominated Steve Ballmer for the Ice Bucket Challenege. http://instagram.com/p/rtMfR9mAsr/
I think he'll do it too hahaha
Click Ballmer. Interesting breakdown. 5 star confidence.
I love this haha
When was the last time either of them paid for a ticket?
Just like all Microsoft products, the Clippers crashed
Keep rubbing it in troll.
Your team will crash and burn for the next 10 days. Enjoy the internal criticism during the next round, schmuck.
Happy 4 year anniversary!

A lad from Whitehawk" who graduated from Cambridge University has once again defied the stereotypes.
The Argus reported nearly ten years ago how 20-year-old Alex Swallow had made it from one of the country's most deprived housing estates to the prestigious halls and gardens of Cambridge.
Nine years later, and with a masters degree in hand, he has been announced as the new chief executive of the Small Charities Coalition, which represents 6,000 organisations across the country.
His new job was once a distant dream for the 'Lad from Whitehawk', as he was described by The Argus in 2003.
Mr Swallow, now 29 and living in East London, said: "It's a terrific charity and I am excited to soon be a chief executive.
"Since leaving Cambridge I've been involved in quite a range of things. I helped to run a voluntary teaching programme in Romania and then worked as an assistant language teacher in Japan for two years.
"After that I was proud to be able to study for a Masters in International Relations at the University of Sussex. Then I moved to London and worked for an MP in their constituency office and a second MP in Parliament."
Youth charity
Mr Swallow, who went to St Mark's Primary School in Whitehawk and later Cardinal Newman, set up an organisation called Young Charity Trustees in 2011.
The group works to get more young people on to charity boards at a time when the average age of trustees in the country is 57.
He continued: "It's especially important at the moment when charities need all the support they can get and young people are struggling to find work and pick up useful skills."
Despite its reputation, Mr Swallow is still fond of his Whitehawk background.
He added: "I really like Whitehawk and always have. There seems a strong sense of community and I know many people who do so much good for the area. The [Argus] article in 2003 made me even more aware of how lucky I have been."
Debra Allcock Tyler, chair of the Small Charities Coalition, said: "He [Alex] impressed us with his enthusiasm, and passion for and commitment to supporting the work of small charities and trustees – and his ideas and plans for the future are exciting."

The plight of the seven imprisoned Bahá'í 'leaders' continues. So does the campaign to secure their release. The latest development in the UK is described at this link with the latest video.
As the 'Yaran', the seven Baha'is in Iran who have been unlawfully imprisoned since 2008, enter their ninth year of incarceration, a campaign all over the world has begun, bringing attention to the plight of these friends and calling for their immediate release. From India to the United States to South Africa to the United Kingdom, the hashtags #ReleaseBahai7Now and #NotAnotherYear are being used across social media to highlight the efforts made.
This year much focus has been given to the 'years missed', reflecting on the fact that "…during these nine years, the seven have endured awful conditions that are common in Iranian prisons. In human terms, they have also missed out on the numerous day-to-day joys – and sorrows – that make life sweet and precious" (Baha'i International Community).
In the UK, in response to this campaign, various artists have come together to participate in the 'Prison Poems Project', a series of short film clips that give voice to the poems of Mahvash Sabet, one of the seven prisoners.
Over the next few weeks, a poem will be recited once a day by a different artist.

I did, however, enjoy August a lot. We had fantastic weather all month, and so I did change my makeup routine quite a lot, found something that worked and stuck with it all month. So here are my favorites.
This Works Perfect Look Skin Miracle.
I have been using this daily, as it's a perfect base for makeup in hot temperatures: it keeps you rather matte, smooth, and it gives you a bit of color. A great staple for the hot months!
Diorskin Nude Freshglow Mineral Foundation SPF 10.
This has been in my drawers for a long time as it's a slightly dark color that requires me to be to be fake tanned. I have used it on top of the Perfect Look, only applied on the T zone with a Real Techniques Buffing Brush, so that my imperfection would be blurred and I would say shine free most of the day. This, however, doesn't have a slight matte finish so it gives the skin some luminosity, and it's not drying. Perfect summer foundation. I couldn't be bothered to wear liquid when it was 30°C outside!
Illamasqua Naked Rose.
Yes, again. Worn almost every day of the month on top of bronzer. It goes with anything so it's a no-brainer.
Dior Addict Ultra Gloss in Rouge Croisière.
I never wear lipgloss. I bought this on an impulse, with its matching nailpolish, and so I made myself wear it to justify the purchase. But actually I have enjoyed it a lot: it's not too sticky (which is what I hate with lipglosses), it's pretty and very easy to wear because it's much more sheer than it looks in the tube. So it's just a perfect touch of glossy color for Summer, where you don't always want to wear a heavy lipstick, and it's also a nice shade that goes with everything. Perfect with sunglasses too :)
When I reviewed this, I said I wasn't crazy about its smell. Also, I don't find it removes makeup as well as Bioderma (even though it's close). But I feel this is doing something for my skin. I can't put my finger on it, but it makes me look plump and glowy and hydrated. So I might well buy a full size bottle when the small one is used up (which will be soon). I guess the scent kind of grew on me and I can live with it now.
What were your favorite this month?

tifosi77 wrote:So I did more cooking in the past three days than I have done in any three-day period in probably two years. Lots of fun.Spoiler:Had friends over Sunday for a day of relaxation, swimming and gnoshing.
Duck Taco, Cherry-Ancho Sauce, Pickles
Duck skins were removed and cut into 1/4" chunks then put in a small saucepan where the fat was rendered under low temp then the wick turned up and the little bits of skin were fried in their own fat. Drained on paper towels then run through with a couple passes of a knife and mixed with some thyme leaf and smoked sea salt to make a garnish powder. Duck breast was cooked ghetto sous video at 135°F/57°C for 90 minutes packaged with the strained rendered duck fat from the skin fry. Accoutrements included char-grilled sweet corn and pineapple, red onion and serrano chile pickles, cilantro and scallions, all topped with a cherry-ancho chile sauce that was waaaaay too sweet than I intended.
Then on Monday, I had picked up some red meat; Mrs Tif said she wanted steak at some point this weekend, and I aimed to deliver.
Pineapple Marinated Skirt Steak, Ramp Sauce, Citrus Crème Fraîche, Mango Salsa, Pickled Red Onions
Decided to make use of some leftovers, so out came the citrus crème fraîche and ramp sauce from last week's salmon. Packaged the skirt with the trimmings of pineapple from Sunday's meal; piña has an enzyme that reacts with protein in a way similar to the way acid 'cooks' in a ceviche, so it makes a wonderful marinade base for tougher cuts of meat like skirt or brisket or even pork shoulder. Then just added some mango salsa and red onion pickles from Sunday's feastings to make a quick and tasty plated lunch.
For my own lunch, I decided to consume the skirt in taco form.
Pineapple Marinated Skirt Steak Taco, Ramp Sauce, Citrus Crème Fraîche, Mango Salsa, Pickled Red Onions, Kimchi
Same accompaniments, plus store-bought kimchi.
For Monday night's dinner, I had picked up two porterhouses.
Moo Critter Tagliata with Seven-Flavor Chimichurri
These were prepared about as simply as can be imagined; lots of salt, hot grill, flip every 20-25 seconds, remove when the temp says 120°F/49°C (about 8-10 minutes total cooking), rest for five minutes, slice, plate, eat. The chimichurri was made of rosemary, thyme, mint, parsley, garlic, scallion greens, lemongrass, mixed with red wine and sherry vinegars and Arbequina extra virgin olive oil from the Central Coast.

I just wouldn't have the in-laws over for dinner. Seriously.... I couldn't do it. That's like saying "Don't cook with heat." Ceviche would get old really fast.

Outside of the most outrageous places that cater to rich people, you can easily find day care places that are far cheaper than 3500. In the philly burbs, you can find nice ones for more like 1200-1500

If i install the new driver all i get is black screen after restart.
The game graphics are all white, the menu is ok, everything up until i enter the game, look here:
Is this the card and driver fault or something else, i tried lowering the game video settings it didn't help...

TMZ has obtained video of Chris Brown saying something that sounds a lot like "F**K DRAKE" at an L.A. nightclub this week ... but the question ... did he actually say it?
It was widely reported Chris snatched the mic from the DJ at Emerson Theatre early Thursday morning for playing a Drake song -- screaming "F**k Drake" -- but our video suggests it might've gone down differently.
In the clip, the insult appears to follow an emotional speech by Chris about his close friends ... "My n****s ridin' for me." Then he says what sounds like "F**K DRAKE!" before the music starts up again.
But the audio is choppy ... so it's possible Chris just hates the Clippers and actually said "f**k Blake!" ... or maybe he hates baked goods ("f**k cake!") ... or delicious meat ("f**k steak!") ... or ... you get the point.
But we still gotta ask ...

A baffle placed in the smoking/cooking chamber directs heat evenly around all four sides and catches the meat drippings, which flow out to a drainpipe. This helps provide and maintain a clean smoking chamber. The meat placed on the rotating tray does not have to be turned or moved during the smoking process. The trays rotate through the smoking chamber at one revolution per minute. A 110-volt gear motor equipped with a brake powers the rotisserie. The thermometer is placed for convenient reading.
The Combo portion of the CK has a 32" X 36" cooking chamber. It is equipped with a fold down table and a thermometer. This side of the CK is unique since it provides three cooking options. A chef can open up the dampers for smoking or partially close the damper and create a warming oven. Also coals can be placed on the bottom rack for direct grilling of meats or vegetables. It shares a firebox and a 15-gallon water jacket with the commercial smoker. The water jacket can be shut off to the Combo portion of your cooker. Adding extra cooking trays can double the Combo's grilling surface.
The unit is fabricated from twelve and fourteen gauger metal. Nine-gauger expandable metal is used for the cooking trays and worktables. The firebox grate is 6 gauger expandable metal. The firebox, located between the two cooking chambers is 18" x 16" x 42" with hot air chambers and insulated doors. There is access to the firebox from both sides of the cooker. There are two drains under the firebox to allow for flow through cleaning as needed. Dampers are positioned in both the firebox door and the smokestacks. This unit is 5' wide, 13'8" long, 7'2" tall and on 13" tires. It is on a trailer axle, with springs, tires, running lights, 2" coupler with jack, dolly steel wheel and spare tire & mount: is road ready.

Earlier on Monday morning, PFT reported that Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski would have surgery after breaking his arm late in Sunday's 59-24 victory over the Colts.
We can now update that report to tell you, via a league source, that Gronkowski has already had surgery. Gronkowski will "probably" be out a few weeks, although an exact timetable for his return to the team remains up in the air. With a serious fight going on for playoff positioning in the AFC, the Patriots could really miss the man who has scored 37 touchdowns in his first 42 regular season games.
The Patriots have a quick turnaround before facing the Jets on Thanksgiving night and then they'll have an extended break before playing the Dolphins. The schedule gets a lot tougher after that game as the Patriots will host the Texans and 49ers at home in Weeks 14 and 15.
Navigating this stretch will be easier if, as Greg Bedard of the Boston Globe reports, Aaron Hernandez is able to return to the lineup on Thursday. He's missed the last three games because of an ankle injury that's made him a spectator for most of the season, but Bedard reports that the team believes he's ready to go and held him out against the Colts because of the short time between that game and the matchup with the Jets.

Santa Barbara, Calif. - After dropping the first two games of the night, the fourth-ranked UC Santa Barbara men's volleyball team came back to win the next two frames, but fell short in the fifth and lost a non-conference match against No. 6 Penn State Monday at Robertson Gymnasium.
Penn State (12-2) started strong and won games one and two by scores of 30-24 and 30-28. UCSB (14-9), which has now lost three straight and six of its last eight, rebounded to take game three, 30-28, and game four, 30-19, before the Nittany Lions capped the victory with a 19-17 edge in the fifth and final set.
Penn State opened with a .500 attack percentage in the first game, but started to slide in game two. However, the Nittany Lions picked it back up in game five, hitting .550 with 13 kills and just two errors in 20 attacks. They finished at .385 for the night, just ahead of UCSB at .383. Solid play at the net also helped Penn State, which out-blocked Santa Barbara 15-8.5.
"We needed a better transition game," said UCSB head coach Ken Preston. "We had a lot of good opportunities but didn't get good swings on a lot of balls due to either bad sets or poor ball control on digs."
Opposite hitter Evan Patak led the Gauchos with 30 kills, while middle Theo Brunner totaled 20 kills, hit .760, and had five blocks. Libero Ben Brockman posted a match-high 15 digs and outside Bryan Berman added 10. Starting setter Bart Kowalski had 25 assists in two games before Max Klineman came in and recorded 39 in relief.
Three Nittany Lions hit double figures in kills as Matt Anderson led with a match-high 35. He was followed by Alex Gutor with 19 and Max Holt with 14. Anderson also had a team-best nine digs, while Holt, Luke Murray, and Max Lipsitz all notched six blocks.
UCSB out-hit Penn State in games two, three, and four.
"We started playing better after the first game and Max did a nice job setting Evan a bit more," said Preston. "Penn State is a very good team, the best in the East. They have some great athletes."
Both squads struggled from the service line with Penn State committing 24 errors and UCSB missing on 23 serves.
Santa Barbara, which had won the previous three meetings between the two teams, is now 3-2 in five-game matches this season.
The Gauchos host Cal Baptist in another non-league match-up March 14 at 7 p.m. The Lancers are the three-time defending NAIA national champions and are currently ranked No. 1 among NAIA teams.

I've been flying my Edges with a switch bar however I know that the release flags to 2 front lines and Ozone flags on a re-ride one front line. Anyone know how ozone edges react to a 2 front line flag? Guess I could always pull it and check it out. However I had a look at it and found another thread on this topic viewtopic.php?f=1&t=2371549
and the guy suggests simply to attach the safety line to the oh shit handle ring but this ring, handle and slightly thicker rope wont pass through the cleat, bar, etc when flagged. I believe you need 1/2 kite span length minimum for it to work properly.
I like the switch bar with the 2 swivels, inspired north release and above the bar depower. All of which ozone doesnt have.
I suppose I would need to dump the Oh shit handle and ring?
Heres the bar

Tired of holiday consumerism?
Give a "One Less Gift" Certificate to someone special.
Instead of exchanging presents, you'll both have one less gift to worry about, saving time, money, and the planet's resources.
Click here for the full-size certificate in PDF format: print it off, or email it to friends and family!
Consider these less-material ways to celebrate the holiday with your loved ones:
1. Spend time together. Schedule a lunch, walk, or coffee together. Plan it around a holiday activity—like strolling through town to admire the shop windows and Christmas lights—for a particularly festive atmosphere.
2. Make charitable donations. The money we spend buying each other gadgets, knickknacks, and tchotchkes can do a world of good for those less fortunate. The key is to make it fun: spend an afternoon with loved ones choosing favorite charities together. Selecting a sheep, goat, or water buffalo to donate through Heifer International, for example, can be a lot more fun (and certainly more fulfilling) than fighting crowds at the mall.
3. Exchange good deeds. Exchange services, like babysitting, snow shoveling, a car wash, or computer assistance instead of store-bought gifts. Give each other "coupons" for specific tasks, which can be redeemed when needed. Such help can be far more valuable, and appreciated, than another scarf or kitchen gadget.
4. Protect the environment. Every gift we give up is a gift to our planet: our air will be a little cleaner, our water a little clearer, and our landfills a little emptier. Alternatively, adopt a tree, coral reef, acre of rainforest, or natural habitat in the recipient's name — see The Nature Conservancy's gift guide for ideas.
5. Volunteer. Give the gift of your time, and help out those in need; volunteering with friends and family creates meaningful memories that'll last a lifetime. To find opportunities, contact national nonprofits, community organizations, or an online service like VolunteerMatch.org. It's a wonderful way to spread the love and spirit of the holiday season!
6. Enjoy nature. Gather holly for your table, pinecones for your mantelpiece, or simply go for a long, quiet walk in the snow. String up some popcorn and cranberries, and decorate a Christmas tree in its native environment.
7. Have a holiday potluck. Share a fun, no-stress feast together! Ask attendees to bring their favorite seasonal dishes-such as childhood treats, secret family recipes, or traditional holiday foods from their cultural backgrounds. Serve buffet style, so guests can mingle while they sample the offerings.
8. Admire holiday decor. Make it a tradition to walk around your hometown, or drive to a neighboring one, to admire the seasonal decorations. Seek out particularly festive streets and decked-out homes for your outing; ask around your community, or check local papers, for prime locations.
9. Join in community celebrations. Attend the tree lighting in your town's main square at the start of the season. Then take your pick of the parades, parties, pageants and holiday concerts that follow.
10. Celebrate simple pleasures. Instead of going to the mall, gather your family around the hearth: cozy up in blankets, make hot cocoa and enjoy the flicker of a fire. Revive some old-fashioned traditions: like singing carols, roasting chestnuts, and reading classic holiday tales to the little ones.

Testimony for the Senate Finance Committee on February 2, 2005
Stephen C. Goss, Chief Actuary Social Security Administration
Mr. Chairman, ranking member, and members of the committee, thank you very much for the opportunity to talk with you today about the future financial status of the Social Security program.
Annual Reports from the Board of Trustees to the Congress on the financial condition of the Old-Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance program have been prepared continuously starting with1941. These reports are required by law to include an assessment of the "actuarial status" of the Trust Funds. The Office of the Actuary at the Social Security Administration prepares the projections used in these reports as well as projections of the effects of proposals to change the program, and has done so since the inception of the program in 1935.
Today I would like to speak about three aspects of our analysis of the actuarial status of the Social Security program under current law. These are (1) the basic status of financing and solvency over the 75-year long-range period, (2) the principal reason that the financial status is shifting, and (3) some of the longrange measures used for assessing the financial/actuarial status of the program.
(1) Where We Are—The Basic Actuarial Status of the Social Security Program
In the 2004 Trustees Report, the intermediate projections indicate that the annual excess of tax income over program cost will begin to decline in 2009, and in 2018 cost will exceed tax income. At that point the accumulated trust fund assets of about $2.3 trillion in present value will begin to be used to augment tax income so that benefits scheduled in current law will continue to be paid in full.
If no changes are made, it is projected that the combined Trust Fund assets would become exhausted in 2042 and the program would no longer be considered to be solvent. This means that we would no longer be able to fully pay benefits scheduled in current law on a timely basis. Instead, we would be able to provide 73 percent of scheduled benefits with continuing tax revenues. After 2042, program cost is projected to continue growing faster than tax income. By 2078, 68 percent of scheduled benefits are expected to be payable.
(2) Why Is the Financial Status Shifting?
So why is the cost of the program projected to be rising faster than program income? The principal reason is that birth rates rose to a 20-year high level for the period 1946-1965, averaging over 3.3 children per woman, followed by a rapid decline to about 2 children per woman in 1972. Total birth rates have stayed at this relatively low level ever since, and the intermediate projections reflect the assumption that birth rates will continue at this lower level.
A shift in birth rates to lower levels has the direct but delayed effect of increasing the "aged dependency ratio", that is, the ratio of people over 65 to the working age population between 20 and 64. Graph 3 shows that the aged dependency ratio is projected to rise sharply between 2010 and 2030, as the large baby-boom generation moves above 65 and is replaced at the working ages by the relatively low birth-rate generations that follow them. The continued lower birth rates make the upward shift in this ratio permanent. The more subtle rising tendency in the ratio before 2010 and after 2030 is the result of steady increases in life expectancy.
Graph 4 shows the often cited ratio of workers per beneficiary, which follows almost directly from the trends in the population after the Social Security program matured around 1975. The declines in this ratio through about 1960 were largely due to the maturing of the retirement program. Most workers were covered starting in the 1940's, but retirement benefits were not available generally to the oldest population until many years later. Further declines in the ratio through about 1975 were largely the result of extending benefits to younger workers who had become disabled. Since 1975, this ratio has been stable at around 3.3 workers per beneficiary, reflecting the stability in the aged dependency ratio. However, the number of workers per beneficiary is projected to decline in concert with the rising aged dependency ratio, starting around 2010, reaching a new relatively stable level of about 2 workers per beneficiary by 2040.
Graph 5 shows the inverse, or flip of the ratio of workers per beneficiary. This is useful because it illustrates the direct relationship between this ratio of beneficiaries to workers and the aged dependency ratio just above it.
Finally, graph 6 shows the projected cost rate for the Social Security program. This is the annual cost of the program as a percent of the payroll tax base. With the tax income to the program at about 13 percent of taxable payroll, it is evident that the intermediate cost projection moves above income around 2018 and is expected to remain higher. It is also evident from these graphs that the shift to a higher cost rate between 2010 and 2030 is again largely the result of the shift in birth rates.
While uncertainty is inherent in any estimate for the future, these trends are nearly unavoidable and are still evident even for the high-cost and low-cost projections included in the Trustees Report. Stochastic projections included in the last two reports indicate that actual future experience will fall within this range with about a 95 percent probability.
(3) Long-Range Measures of Actuarial Status
As mentioned earlier, solvency of the Social Security program is assessed at each point in time. The program is solvent if there are assets in the Trust Funds sufficient to fully pay scheduled benefits on time. Under the law, the program does not have the authority to borrow when the Trust Funds have become exhausted. While benefit payments would continue after exhaustion of the Trust Funds, they would need to be paid at a reduced level.
Thus, the first real criterion for the actuarial status of Social Security is whether the program is expected to be solvent throughout the 75-year long-range period. The second criterion is whether the program meets the test of sustainable solvency. This test requires that the positive trust fund levels at the end of 75 years are stable or rising as a percent of the annual cost of the program. This condition is generally met if the tax income is stable at about the same level as program cost at the end of the long range period. These have been the two basic goals that have guided legislative proposals developed over the past 10 years.
Summary Measures
Several summary measures have been developed over the years that provide general indications of the adequacy of financing over a period as a whole. However, caution should be exercised in using these summary measures, because they provide no indication of the solvency of the program within the period.
The actuarial deficit of the Social Security program is essentially the shortfall of income needed to fully meet scheduled benefits over the entire period. The actuarial deficit is currently estimated at 1.89 percent of payroll for the 75-year projection period under the intermediate assumptions.
Closely related is the unfunded obligation of the Social Security program, which indicates that the projected shortfall for the next 75 years is about 0.7 percent of GDP for the period as a whole. The unfunded obligation may also be expressed as a total dollar amount in present discounted value. This estimate is $3.7 trillion for the shortfall that must be met over the next 75 years as a whole. Because 75 years is a very long time, estimates for the long-range period are subject to considerable uncertainty.
For the last 2 years the Trustees have also added measures of the unfunded obligation of the program over the infinite future. Due to the length of this time period, these measures are highly uncertain. They are intended only to provide an indication of the potential magnitude of shortfalls over the infinite future as a whole.
The test of sustainable solvency, if met, indicates that the Social Security program is expected to be able to pay scheduled benefits on a timely basis for the foreseeable future. It means that the program is on a financially sustainable path. Currently the Social Security program is in need of some combination of reductions in cost and increases in income to meet this objective. Because the upcoming shift in the cost of the program is closely related to a shift in birth rates, the shortfall can be met by changing the level of benefits or income with a gradual transition over several decades.
Clearly, acting well before we approach the expected date of trust fund exhaustion will be advantageous. By enacting needed changes sooner we will have more options to consider; we will be able to phase changes in more gradually and give affected individuals more advance notice.
Thank you very much for the opportunity to present these remarks.
Social Security Actuarial/Financial Status
Solvency---Ability to Pay Scheduled Benefits with Available Revenue--At any point in time
- Requires a positive Trust Fund level--- No borrowing authority under current law
- If benefit cost exceeds current tax revenue, augment with Trust Fund assets (2018)
If Trust Fund assets exhausted, pay what current tax revenue allows (2042)
- Requires a positive Trust Fund through the long-range 75-year period
- Also requires that Trust Fund assets are stable or rising as a percent of annual cost at the end of the long-range period.
- Actuarial Balance--Excess of assets and income over cost--
Expressed as a percent of the payroll tax base, or taxable payroll
A negative actuarial balance is an "unfunded obligation"
Actuarial balance is -1.89 percent of taxable payroll for the 75-year period
- Others measures of Social Security unfunded obligation
These are the net shortfall of income and assets to cover cost over the period
For the 75-year Long-Range Period 2004-78
Actuarial deficit 1.89 percent of taxable payroll Unfunded obligation 0.7 percent of GDP Unfunded obligation $3.7 trillion in present value Total effect of changes needed for the next 75 years as a whole
For the Infinite Future: 2004 and later HIGHLY UNCERTAIN
Actuarial deficit 3.5 percent of taxable payroll Unfunded obligation 1.2 percent of GDP Unfunded obligation $10.4 trillion in present value Total effect of changes needed for ALL future years as a whole

World Bulletin/News Desk
An adviser to Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei joined the presidential race on Friday, with powerful conservatives keen to make the June vote a peaceful contrast to the upheaval that followed the disputed 2009 poll.
Khamenei has the final say on all matters in Iran and in theory stands above the political fray, but it is thought he wants a reliable follower in the presidency after Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's two turbulent terms in office.
Reformist groups have been suppressed or sidelined since 2009 and the next president is likely to be picked from among a handful of politicians known for fealty to Khamenei, minimising the chances of political rifts leading to post-election chaos.
Former parliament speaker Gholam-Ali Haddad-Adel registered to run, state news agency IRNA reported, becoming the first of a trio of Khamenei loyalists expected to do so.
Allied with Haddad-Adel are former Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Velayati and Tehran mayor Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf - Iranian media say two of them will step aside later in favour of whoever appears to have the best chance of winning the election.
"Our final choice will be announced after the Guardian Council's decision," the semi-official Fars news agency quoted Haddad-Adel as saying after registering, referring to a body which vets applicants before they are allowed to run.
The conservative council, normally made up of six clerics and six jurists, will publish the final list of candidates it has approved later this month.
The June 14 vote is a test for Iran after Ahmadinejad's re-election in 2009 ignited the biggest street protests in the Islamic Republic's history, badly denting the legitimacy of its entrenched leaders and its hybrid clerical-electoral system.
But there is little of the popular enthusiasm there was in the run-up to the 2009 election when many sensed there was a possibility of real change in Iran. After years of ever tougher international sanctions over Tehran's nuclear programme, many Iranians care more about the economy than political infighting.
The election is unlikely to have much effect on Tehran's nuclear policy which is closely controlled by Khamenei.
The most powerful person in Iran, Khamenei endorsed Ahmadinejad's victory in 2009, rejecting opposition charges of election fraud. But the president later alienated the leader by pursuing his own policies in often provocative ways.
Khamenei is now thought to want to thwart any attempt by Ahmadinejad to preserve his influence by promoting a favoured successor, possibly the outgoing president's former chief of staff, Esfandiar Rahim Mashaie.
Conservatives are vehemently opposed to Mashaie who they accuse of promoting a "deviant current" within Islam that undermines the role of the clergy. If he does run, it would be seen as a direct challenge to Khamenei's authority.
Among other candidates who registered on Friday were veteran Iranian politician Mohsen Rezaie, who lost to Ahmadinejad in 2009, and reformist Mohammad Reza Aref, who served as vice-president under former moderate President Mohammad Khatami.
Khatami, who was elected in landslide victories in 1997 and 2001, has not made it clear whether he will run this time but on Friday he threw his support behind moderate former President Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani and urged him to stand in the vote.
"I believe the best person who can help the establishment and solve the current problems is Mr. Hashemi. I hope he runs in the election," the Iranian Students' News Agency (ISNA) quoted Khatami as saying.
Some analysts say Rafsanjani's candidacy could ignite the contest as he can attract reformist voters.
Rafsanjani, who lost to Ahmadinejad in the 2005 presidential race, is one of the founding figures of the Islamic Republic. He is a veteran politician who wants better ties with the West and would be likely to pursue a pragmatic reform programme.
But the former president from 1989 to 1997 has faced heightened pressure from hardliners since the last presidential vote. His backing of opposition candidates in 2009 and sympathy for opposition demonstrators incurred the anger of conservatives and led to a decline in his influence.
Candidate registration started on Tuesday and ends on Saturday.

CAMBRIDGE, ENGLAND, U.K, July 27, 2004 – New Mexico Tech and the University of Cambridge's Cavendish Laboratory in the United Kingdom have entered into a memorandum of understanding (MOU) that is designed to strengthen collaborative research efforts between the two entities, with particular regard to the design, development, and operation of the Magdalena Ridge Observatory (MRO).
New Mexico Tech President Daniel H. López and Professor Malcolm Longair, Head of the Cavendish Laboratory, signed off today on the agreement during a morning ceremony held at the University of Cambridge.
The $50 million state-of-the-art astronomical research facility is scheduled to be completed by 2008, near the summit of the 10,800-foot Magdalena Mountains in south-central New Mexico, about 30 miles west of the New Mexico Tech campus in Socorro.
The design, development, and operation of the MRO are under the auspices of a multi-national university consortium, with New Mexico Tech as the lead institute. Additional members of the consortium include New Mexico State University, New Mexico Highlands University, University of Puerto Rico, and the 795-year-old University of Cambridge, as well as research partner Los Alamos National Laboratory.
Once constructed, the MRO will be the fourth highest observatory in the world, employing an array of optical and infrared telescopes to produce extremely detailed images of the far reaches of the universe.
