You got fired for WHAT?!
The scenario is not that uncommon: You hate your job, you hate your boss, you hate your co-workers... but what are you going to do? Everybody has to work. So you sit there and take it all day long and then go home, and with the greatest of eloquence, though perhaps not the most tact (and rarely a thought towards grammar or spelling) share your woes on Facebook to your closest of friends. It's the perfect outlet and makes you feel better every time, right?
Well, guess what? You better start to think before you post. Your job could be on the line for a lot less that you think. In fact, "First day at work. OMG!! So Dull!!" should just about do it. I mean really, how dare someone be bored at work -- of all places.
On LegalLinkup.com, about a third of the listings in the past few months have been people hunting for a lawyer to help them deal with being wrongfully terminated. There is a fast growing number of cases across north America where posts on social media sites have led to employees losing their jobs.
It's pretty obvious to everyone by now that you can get terminated for something you post on Facebook. Employers have reputations and employee morale to uphold and Facebook is where both collide. Give the number of coworkers who are probably Facebook friends with you right now it's probably no surprise to anyone that the courts have decided to treat your wall as simply an extension of the office.
It's one thing to update your status to call your boss "a total pervvy wanker" (especially when you've forgotten that you added him as a friend), but complaining about being bored? How much more innocuous can a post get. Most of the stuff we post would be perfectly fine around the water cooler, so why does Facebook make a difference? The obvious answer is that it's not an intimate chat you're having with a few friends; you're making a public statement, whether you intend to or not.
It has to be more than that, though. I mean, everyone gets bored at work and who cares if you broadcast a statement like that to the world? What's the harm? Unfortunately, the key comes down to timing and optics. You just never know what the boss is dealing with that week, and it could be that your innocent little post strikes right at the heart of a problem that needs fixing, and you're the perfect scapegoat.
So what can you do to protect yourself?
Simple. Think before you post. If you need to vent, grab yourself a drink and call a friend. As blasphemous as this may sound in this day an age, not every thought you have needs to be memorialized in a status update. Get yourself a journal, it'll save you a lot of heartache.
If you absolutely cannot restrain yourself, then take advantage of some of Facebook's privacy settings to restrict the number of people who have access to your rants. If access to your profile is restricted and doesn't include any co-workers, then you would have a basis to claim that your wall isn't just an extension of the office... but where's the fun in that?

Probiotics, Asthma and Antibiotics: Too Pragmatic?/
For the video version, click here.
Much of clinical research is problem-solving. You find an issue out there in the medical world – a problem – and then test an idea to fix it. The problem we face this week is the amount of antibiotics received by individuals with asthma. As researchers from Imperial College, London, point out in the Annals of Family Medicine, the vast majority of upper respiratory infections in those with asthma are of viral origin. Antibiotics would not be expected to confer much benefit in this group.
Some small studies, mostly in children with asthma, have suggested that the use of probiotics –
bacterial cocktails that may affect the immune response – carries some benefit in terms of URI rates and antibiotic usage.
The researchers wanted to determine whether that affect translated into a large trial.
Now – how would you do such a trial? The obvious answer would be to take a big group of people with asthma, give half of them probiotics and half placebo and see how they do. That is not what was done here. The researchers performed what's known as a pragmatic trial.
Pragmatic trials focus on the real-world effectiveness of an intervention, as opposed to an explanatory trial which examines a more idealized efficacy. For an explanatory trial, patients are specifically recruited and extensively screened. They are monitored carefully. Researchers ensure they are receiving, and taking, their study medication.
A pragmatic trial is more real-world. In the case of this trial, they randomized a group of individuals with asthma to receive a standard mailing (encouraging flu vaccine) versus the same mailing plus some information about probiotics and free coupons to receive them.
So the probiotics weren't sent. The patients had to a) see the mailing, b) order the probiotics on their own initiative and c) take them.
Trusting initiative may be a recipe for disaster. Of the 652 people sent the probiotic coupons, 121 ordered a one-month supply of probiotics. 86 ordered two or more month's worth. So just 200 people in the intervention group actually received the intervention at all.
Against that backdrop, there was no statistical difference in antibiotic prescriptions when the study was analyzed using all patients. Focusing just on those who actually took probiotics (a subgroup that might have been sicker over all or more attentive to their own health needs), we still see no difference in antibiotic usage compared to the control group.
So are probiotics dead in the water? Not necessarily. Aside from the fact that most people in the intervention group of the study didn't get the intervention, the decision to link probiotic use to antibiotic prescriptions seems premature. Shouldn't we first see if probiotics reduce the risk of upper respiratory infections, then worry about antibiotics?
I'd like to suggest that the next study in this space should be a more mechanistic, traditional randomized trial. But I won't hold my breath.

It's an agricultural icon, a behemoth that ranks up there with the horse. In fact, it's a piece of machinery that replaced the horse.
That would be the John Deere BN tractor, built in the early to mid-1940s.
And now you can be the proud owner of one designed in 1946, bought in Fresno three weeks ago, then restored for auction at the Orange County Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction on Sunday between 12:30 and 1:30 p.m. at Lot No. 617.2.
The money raised from the sale will go to Centennial Farm Foundation, a youth-oriented educational arm that anchors the fairgrounds in the form of the Millennium Barn — a popular destination to some 50,000 school children a year with all its farm animal pigs, chickens, cattle and goats.
The tractor, one of 2,840 built between 1941-1947, has that shiny yellow and green coat of paint that has become a symbol of America's heartland.
"After World War II, horses were virtually extinct because of this tractor," notes Richard Dick, co-owner of Facilities Management West in Fashion Island.
That's the company that, if all goes according to tentative plans, will enter into a 55-year lease and operate the Orange County Fairgrounds, recently acquired by the city of Costa Mesa for $96 million in what is being billed as a "tentative" deal with the state.
Dick, 74, said he knows all about the BN tractor because he was born on a farm in downstate Illinois. He's long wanted to bring the tractors into the fairgrounds and make them a part of the landscape.
When Costa Mesa's City Manager Allan Roeder heard about Dick's vision, he told Dick he had a better idea: "Why not get a hold of such a tractor lickety-split and put it on the block during the fast-approaching hot rod show?"
Dick acted on it. He perused websites and found a tractor in Fresno in virtually the time it took to log on. He bought it, then shipped it to Rusty Acres Ranch, a restoration company in Woodland, Calif. By Sunday the tractor is expected to be at the fairgrounds, an interesting juxtaposition amid some of the finest examples of classic and exotic cars.
Let the bidding (do we hear 5,000, 5,000, 5,000?) begin.
The tractor's run by a two-cylinder engine that generates 17 horsepower. (Again, the horses.)
While some of the cars on display are capable of going from zero to 60 mph in just a few seconds, the six-speed John Deere tops out at 15 mph.
"Centennial Farm and its connection with the people of Orange County is extremely important and dear to our hearts," said Mark Ramsay, president of the Centennial Farm Foundation. "We're grateful."

Citadel places 2nd in first cybersecurity competition
College and high school students descended on The Citadel over the weekend for the inaugural Cybersecurity Competition sponsored by the Palmetto Roost Chapter of the Association of Old Crows in collaboration with Space and Naval Warfare Command (SPAWAR) Systems Center Atlantic.
Student teams operated small networks that they were responsible for protecting from SPAWAR cybersecurity experts. They were scored for completing administrative and business tasks while maintaining network availability and configuring and protecting their network against threats.
The Citadel took second place in college and university competition that was held Saturday. The team, which was a mixture of electrical engineering and computer science majors, included Cadets Derek Bernsen, Jimmie Lee, Ian Nielson, Hugh Urey, and Officer Candidates Nathan Cintula and Jonathan Puckett. The students were advised by Computer Science Professors Shankar Banik and George Rudolph.
"There is a critical need for education in cyberdefense, and The Citadel has risen to the challenge with new initiatives," said Brig. Gen. Sam Hines, provost and dean of the college. "It's a testament to the value of our program that our students fared so well in this first competition."
Chief of Staff of Air Forces Cyber Col. Robert A. Morris was the keynote speaker for the event.
Results from the college competition
Clemson, 1st Place
The Citadel, 2nd Place
College of Charleston, 3rd Place
Results from the high school competition
Wando High School, 1st Place
Summerville High School, 2nd Place
Stall High School, 3rd Place
Several new initiatives are underway at The Citadel to bring cybersecurity education to the Lowcountry, including a new minor in cybersecurity and plans to offer a specialization in cybersecurity to students pursuing a master's degree in computer science in the joint program offered by The Citadel and the College of Charleston.

The 34-year-old is currently enjoying a post-season break before he begins a new challenge in Major League Soccer with Los Angeles Galaxy this summer.
But after 710 appearances in a 17-year professional career – and an association dating back to when he was eight – Gerrard has his sights set on coming back.
"I've been a supporter all my life and that will continue," he wrote in an open letter to fans in the Liverpool Echo.
"I hope to get the opportunity to come back and serve the club again one day.
"I feel that I can make a contribution in some role in the future."
Gerrard has been captain for over a decade and led from the front in most of the club's recent successes, most famously the comeback against AC Milan to win the Champions League in 2005.
However, this season he has not featured as regularly as he would have liked and that persuaded him a move to the United States would help prolong his playing career despite a contract offer coming in late from the Reds.
"I want to keep playing every week in the final few years of my career and I'm looking forward to embarking on a new challenge with Los Angeles Galaxy in the MLS," he added.
"It's been an absolute privilege to represent this football club for so long.
"It's been very humbling and it's something I'll cherish for the rest of my life.
"People have often asked me about the pressure on my shoulders to deliver for Liverpool but I've never seen that as a burden.
"There's been huge responsibility on me but I've always loved and embraced that.
"It's been a massive honour to be captain of this club for so long.
"I've always given my best and tried to lead by example.
"But today is all about looking back and saying thank you to the fans for the magnificent support you have given me over the past two decades.
"You have helped me to fulfil my dreams over and over again and given me memories I wouldn't swap for anything."

A Nation Of Women With Wings
There's a band of wild women, I know, out in California. You may know them too, maybe from their social media, their blogs, or instagram. You may know their work in crafts, herbalism, Earth Grief, how they spread joy and kindness everywhere they go, and you may miss their kick-ass outfits. I've had the amazing privilege of knowing these women for years now, to have made Anne, Missa, Mary, Amber, Heather my beloved friends in real, actual tangible world. Over the last seven years, we've managed to meet many times in various configurations, and talk to each other over a message thread about everything.
It's a frequent theme of posts about our friendship, that words can't quite expressed how wonderful and important these friendships (and others that started online) are to us all. They're a port in a storm, they're a supportive, but honest opinion, they're a different point of view, they're light, and loving, serious, funny, and above all, kind.
For the last few years, Missa and I have spent a weekend together at the Northern California Women's Herbal Symposium, camping, crafting, learning, and gazing at the stars. Last time we went, Amber joined us with her lovely friend Tara, as well as Missa's friend Angeline (both of whom I now consider MY friends;), and this time, we had the best of luck to have Anne and baby Maggie in tow.
Like our sisterhood, there's really no words that accurately capture the magic of the Symposium. It's a place where women meet, move, learn, and play freely, one where magic seems very much alive, the stars brighter, the wind softer, and where the moon's meanings are totally explained to you (well, if you choose to take a class on it). It's very much my happy place. So, without further ado, I will let the pictures do the talking for themselves.
My favorite class (it's always hard to choose) might have been the basket-weaving one all of us took together. I mean, look at these two sweet 70s moms! Don't it look like a picture right out of The Hippie Handbook-a guide to conscious living ?
Maggie Mae was just the most good-natured babe, and the most popular gal in camp, making friends everywhere she went, and waving from her stroller like a queen.
Missa got us all team mugs, from her talented co-worker: lemon balm for her, motherwort for Anne, and of course (because she's the most thoughtful person ever) nettle for me. I'm sipping my morning brew out of it as I type.
It was so lovely to get to spend this extended period of time with dear Anne, a real treat. Saying goodbye to the reality where we see each other first thing in the morning for a coffee run, was so hard.
The sunday market place, as always, was really fun. There are, naturally, some incredibly talented craftswomen among Symposium goers, anything from magical threads, to everyone's favorite ethically made, knock-out dress, to little girl poets selling odes of the truth (and featuring the f-word in all the right places).
We met lots of lovely women, but I think we would all agree that everyone's favorite new friend was Vicky of Grandmother's Medicine. Damn girl. You stole our hearts. Of course Amber told her to look us up, and we're so glad she did. She took to Maggie like a house on fire, reading her books of animals and plants, playing and laughing and snuggling.
We had some good conversations and hearty laughs.
The ladies in Wellness, as always taught me a lot, even as they helped me keep on top of my allergies.
We took a class on moon phases, that further affirmed, my thoughts on their role in our lives and cycles and gave me lots of new ideas on fertility and creativity. (Anne I WILL send you my notes!)
Of course, no gathering of bloggers, former, current , or longstanding, is complete without a group shot. Our photography mistress, Anne, even coaxed a lovely passer-by to take three shots with her polaroid camera, one of which we each got to keep as souvenirs, lending the whole affair an even more 70s fairytale feel.
This gathering, is just a yearly staple for me now, a holiday among the Solstices, Equinoxes, Christmases, birthdays, and Halloweens. Being part of this roving tribe of women, spreading herbal wisdom, silliness, good cheer, health, and magic, an integral part of my life.
It's a beautiful thing.
Stay tuned, always for part two, possibly three of my California adventures.

Yesterday I came across something that is NEW with Google called Google Keep that just may end up rivaling the likes of Evernote and SpringPad.
Google Keep is a NEW online note keeping service that works in connection with your Google Drive. If you have a Google account, such as Gmail, then your account will give you access to the other Google services such as Google Drive; and now, Google Keep. Google Keep is web based, so you can access it from any internet enabled computer or device (click here for an example) or you can install the Android version of Google Keep to your Android based phone or tablet (click here for more on this).
From what I am seeing right now, Google Keep is in the very early stages and actually I am not seeing where it is connecting to my Google Drive (yet). The actual notes are very basic (right now) with no rich text formatting; however, you can add images.
Will this be a competitor to Evernote and Springpad? Time will only tell whether more features will be added, etc… in order to bring Google Keep up to the speed with Evernote or Springpad. I just thought it to be interesting, that Google is making a service such as this, available.
The biggest concern I have is that Google comes up with these great ideas, then couple years down the road decides to kill them (i.e. Google Notebook, iGoogle, and Google Reader). Personally, I thought Google Notebook was ahead of its' time and was an excellent service.
You can read more about Google Keep on Google's Official Blog [HERE].

Fishcreek - Boatlaunch ParkDay Use Area
Calgary, AB
The Bow river boat launch, located near 22x highway in south Fish Creek Provincial Park has an excellent parking lot and good size launch ramp. The launch is mainly used by fly fisherman's drift boats floating downstream to Policeman's flats(launch), McKinnon flats(launch), Legacy(Launch) and Caresland (Launch). Watercraft with motors are not allowed in the City of Calgary. This boat launch is one of the best river launches found in Alberta. Access is closed after 10pm. Nearby communities include Lake Sundance, Lake Midnapore and McKenazie Lake.

The facility boasts three fenced-in dog play yards, allowing shelter staff and volunteers to exercise dogs off-leash and engage them in physically and mentally stimulating activities such as agility training and off-leash obedience training. The play time helps dogs shake off some of the stress inherent in being in a shelter kennel, and provides healthy exercise and positive interaction with the well-trained staff and volunteers. The yard itself is asphalt paved and coated with a special custom sealant that allows each run to be sanitized between uses, and coats the asphalt to prevent burns on dog's paw pads during the hot summer months. A Mother's Day donation drive funded the play yard landscaping; shrubs, plants, and trees designed to beautify the space, reduce noise, and create visual barriers so the dogs can focus on their human companion rather than shelter activities. The plants are specifically chosen by staff to be non-toxic, edible, and drought resistant.
The construction of the play yard was sponsored by The Animal Farm Foundation and Senator Robert Torricelli and the Rosemont Foundation. Additional funding was provided by "Kitten Days," student de-stress events hosted by Alpha Phi Omega and Kappa Sigma organizations at Steven's Institute of Technology in Hoboken.

So I am back in New York right now, and damn it feels good. I remember why I lived here so long and continually get home sick in California. Landed before the snowstorm last night and, then braved the sideways wind proppelled giant white snowflakes to get to my favorite place possibly in the world, Yakitori Taisho. Some pork belly, okonamyaki, fish cakes with cheese, and chicken meatballs later, it was time to get back to the train and head back to our rest!!! All in all a great day of travel and immersion. Feels good to be home! Here are some randome photos I have been meaning to post, of everything from a bust stop in San Francisco that got annihilated by a Muni Driver, to the images of Old Crow post Unstoppable Tomorrow, to bathroom graffiti at Taisho. Life is good! And Unstoppable Tomorrow is official done!!! Thanks to everyone who was a part, it was a spectacular happening!! Hi 2011!

When it was introduced in 1968 the Jaguar XJ6 was probably the finest car a gentleman with taste and refinement could buy. Outstandingly beautiful, quiet, comfortable, fast ~ fitted with the glorious, iconic, versatile, powerful, dohc straight six 4.2 litre, (258 cu in), XK engine the big Jaguar saloon could top 120 mph, (which was very quick in 1968), and made the classic Jaguar E-Type look jaded in comparison.
Jaguar and Rolls Royce for sale in Palm Springs
The Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow, (seen in a dull colour in the background here), was not even in the same league as the Jaguar, being slower, heavier, and with handling like a barge in comparison. The Rolls-Royce was also almost three times the price of the XJ6.
From its launch this was a car for crossing continents in comfort. When the Daimler Double Six came along, Jaguar had produced the most elegant car in the world.
The big downside for Jaguar was that the XJ saloon was just too good. In one form or another the XJ remained in production from 1968 to 1992, after which it was replaced by other Jaguar saloons which were, more or less, the same as the 1968 XJ. All in all, Jaguar made versions of this great car from 1968 until 2009, (in a bewildering number of variants), until it was finally replaced by the Eurobox that is the current XJ, (known by Jaguar as the X351).
Along the way the big Jag came in short and long wheelbase, two and four door, Jaguar and Daimler versions with straight six, V12, V6, and V8 engines of various ilks.
Probably the most desirable of all these magnificent cars is the Daimler Double Six Coupe, of which only 407 were made between 1975 1nd 1977. Fitted with the 5.3 litre, (323 cu in), V12 engine this gorgeous car could do almost 150 mph and sprint to 60 mph in about seven and a half seconds ~ and this in 1975. Even by today's standards, this is a very fast car. (Daimler is the even more upmarket version of the luxury Jaguar brand.)
Daimler Double Six Coupe
How much should you pay for one of these cars? How much have you got? A friend of mine almost bought a beautiful example of a long wheelbase XK engined XJ6 in Palm Springs which had a sticker price of $9,500 ~ stupidly I talked her out of it, and I don't think she's yet forgiven me. If it comes to that, I haven't yet forgiven me! Want one of these cars? Just you peruse the advertisements on the internet, and don't even think about anything that needs a lot of work.
Long Wheelbase Jaguar XJ6
These cars are mechanically complex, (your local garage won't have a clue), and some versions are very prone to rust. The luxury interior would cost you a fortune to restore, and in a Californian summer it will overheat. The V12 will really overheat. The answer is, buy the best you can afford because you will need a mortgage for any repairs or restoration work. Also, it's a good idea if you know / can find someone who will spend a few hours a week fettling your XJ.
Unless you don't have to worry about money, you can't really afford to run a classic version of the XJ, not without scrimping on other things. The V12 will usually only give you somewhere between 5 and 15 mpg, (depending on how you drive and the size of your gallon of petrol / gasoline). The Jaguar independent rear suspension, with its inboard disk brakes, will have the average American mechanic in disbelief and needing therapy. And, even the XK engine, (introduced in 1949 remember), is complex and difficult to maintain and rebuild. (Trust me, I have rebuilt an XK, and I still have the grey hairs). But properly looked after, the big Jaguars / Daimlers are totally bombproof. (The XK engine was so strong it was even used in a tank.)
You know what? I am seriously thinking of driving from Chicago to Santa Monica this year, following the line of the old Route 66. A Jaguar XJ6 would be a great car for that road trip, a v12 coupe even more so. The big Daimler Double Six is Californian spiritual sex on wheels. The downside is the XJ didn't come as a convertible. Perhaps a Jaguar XJS would be a better choice for my next road trip.

It looks like Texas performed a bit of a goalie swap today. Allen Americans goalie Adrien LeMay has been returned to the CHL, according to the CHL website, and Tyler Beskorowany has been recalled from the Idaho Steelheads, according to the ECHL. Both transactions have been added to the AHL transaction list as well.
In my estimation, this is not good news for the Texas Stars. Sending down a player like LeMay and recalling a Dallas guy like Beskorowany points to a longer term issue for Texas's other goaltender, Brent Krahn. With a 3-in-3 stretch coming up over the weekend, Texas is clearly feeling that Krahn will not be ready for Friday and the team does not feel comfortable having LeMay possibly start a game in the stretch. Since the AHL is indeed a development league, it would make more sense from a business perspective to allow Dallas prospect Tyler Beskorowany to get a start at the AHL level.
It also sets Texas on a difficult path with regard to experienced goaltending. Richard Bachman has played in 58 professional games, most of them last year with the Idaho Steelheads (43). Beskorowany is only 10 games into his professional career after coming out of the OHL to join the Dallas organization.
Beskorowany is currently 4-3-3 with a 2.27 GAA and .932 SV% in the ECHL. The Steelheads have struggled a bit out of the gate, ranking third in their four team division.

Losing weight is not only about what you eat. It's also about when you eat, how you eat and even where you eat. The basic eating rules are very simple: low fat, fresh vegetables and fruit, cut back on sugar and salt, and take exercise. Instead of just giving you a menu of healthy, low calorie foods that will help you to lose weight, in this post we give you ten tips on how you can eat smarter with ten healthy eating tips:
1. Think about foods that you can add to your diet
When we think about losing weight, we generally think about what foods we can cup out of our diet. A different way to look at this is by thinking about the foods that you can add. Add new varieties of fruit and veg to your shopping list and try and eat more vegetables with each meal, and eat fruits as a dessert, because the more fruit and veg you eat, the less fattening foods you will need.
2. Concentrate on your food when eating and enjoy every bite of it
Eating in front of the TV has for many people become the norm, but studies have shown that people who do this are likely to consume up to forty percent more calories, than those who switch the TV off. If you are distracted, while eating you are more likely to overeat, so sit up at a table and enjoy your food and it will help you lose weight.
3. Start the day with a hearty breakfast
Skipping breakfast is a really bad idea, as breakfast kick starts your metabolism and it keeps you going through the day. It's best to have a good sized, balanced breakfast, which will give you carbohydrates, protein and a little fat. That will keep your blood sugar levels stable and avoid you feeling the need to pig-out at lunchtime.
4. Keep a food journal
Keep a detailed journal of what you eat every day, and be honest! At the end of the day, when you review your journal, you might be surprised at how much and what you have eaten. The act of writing in your journal will also make you think twice about unnecessary snacking.
5. Snack, but snack smart
Nutritionists now agree that it is better to snack, than it is to try and ignore hunger and then find yourself overeating when you eventually get to a mealtime. Be smart with the snacks that you chose though. Fresh fruit is just as sweet and satisfying, as a non-healthy snack, for example.
6. Cut down portion sizes not the number of meals
Cutting down is far, far easier than cutting out and you would probably barely notice the difference, if you cut down your portion sizes a little bit at a time. One of the easiest ways to do this is to buy some smaller plates!
7. Eat a salad before your main meal
Eating a salad before a main meal is a nice way to start and it will fill you up with low calorie fiber before your main course. A simple salad with no heavy dressing is best and, once you've got into the habit of doing it, it will just become a natural part of your routine.
8. Drink plenty of water
We can actually mistake thirst for hunger, so be sure to drink plenty of water during the day. Not only is it good for you anyway, it will also fill you up and make you feel like eating less.
9. Distract yourself from food
Boredom can make you want to eat, so when you feel the urge to eat and you know that don't really need to, then go for a walk or phone a friend. Just do something that will occupy you and take your mind off eating.
10. Eat in more often
There are many benefits to eating in so, if you are someone who goes out to eat at every opportunity, then try cutting it back a little. When you eat at home, you know exactly what goes into your food, you can control the portion sizes and let's be honest, it's so tempting to have an extra portion of dessert, when all you have to do is call over the waiter!

Games and crafts give kids something to do on rainy days at home, with friends or spending time with family. You can create some simple games and crafts with string that provide fun and entertainment for the whole family. Many people know of common games, like Cat's Cradle, but many less common string games and activities exist. Kids can also make up their own games and craft projects using string, especially if you provide a variety of assorted craft materials to play with.
Things You'll Need
- String
- Beads
- Scissors
- Tension rod
- Measuring tape
- Salt
Video of the Day
Door Beads
Measure the distance from the floor to the inside top of the doorway and subtract about 2 inches.
Cut 10 pieces of string to the height you calculated.
String beads onto the string by tying a small knot in the string, putting the bead on, and tying another small knot right below it. You can also use paper discs, foam shapes, shells or other objects instead of beads.
Tie the ends of the strings to a tension rod and hang it in your doorway.
Ice Cube Trick
Place an ice cube in a glass of water.
Dangle the end of a piece of string on top of the floating ice cube and sprinkle salt over it.
Wait 5 seconds.
Pull the string up to lift the ice cube out of the water. When you put salt on the ice it melts a little bit of it, which the string absorbs. A few seconds later that water refreezes, bonding the ice cube to the string.
Breaking String
Cut a piece of string 3 feet long.
Wrap one end of the string around your forefinger a few times, securing it by tying it off.
Dangle a loop of the string down the front of your palm, hanging the remainder of the string over the back of your hand.
Run the loose end of the string under your hand and up through the dangling loop on your palm.
Wrap the loose end of the string around your other hand several times.
Clench both of your hands into fists around the string and jerk your hands apart quickly to break the string with your bare hands. Crossing the string over itself focuses the force on the spot where the string intersects itself, allowing you to break the string with little applied force.

Landschaft mit Haus by Maria Zaikina
"Landschaft mit Haus" is a series of paintings by Maria Zaikina. The subject: one house, simple and unchanged…however, the changing times and seasons offer altered views of this "landscape with house"…According to the artist herself: "The sense of motion is achieved through the static and repetitive composition: the square format, the horizon line in the middle of the image with a house in the center. It is a study of motion and stillness, transfusion and interaction. The beginning and the end of the journey are unmarked. There is no first or final image; the images follow each other in a random order. Only the process of watching the landscape is important. Through the motion of viewing repetitive images the sensation of complete peace and serenity appears: a momentary pause in front of a sublime and mysterious landscape – a stopped frame, not stop motion."To view more of this beautiful series, go to Maria's Flickr stream, here!
Battle for Hearts and Minds
Check out the amazing trailer for Battle for Hearts and Minds…In 2009, filmmaker Danfung Dennis was embedded with a company of Marines in Afghanistan and was able to catch some intense and beautiful footage. Shooting on the Canon 5d (with about a $5000 worth of gear) he was able to get a shallow depth of field and give a true film look to this run-and-gun footage. It's a good sign when technology gets inexpensive enough for anyone to create beautiful and deeply moving works of art/commerce.
Decorating Your Basement with a Sharpie…
Charlie Kratzer of Lexington, KY came up with the clever and inexpensive idea to use about $10 worth of Sharpies to decorate the walls of his basement. So simple yet so effective…Read more about his endeavor, here…

Dyson Air Multiplier
Although this was announced a few months back, we still can't get enough of the Dyson Air Multiplier, a new blade-less fan that uses the same concept as a jet engine to draw air in…It may cost around $300 but it looks incredible and would make a great conversation piece. Dyson himself explains in the video below:
R.I.P. Guru
Guru, a.k.a. Keith Elam, died yesterday after a long battle with cancer…One of the great rappers of all time, he was only 43 years old. His contributions to thoughtful and intelligent hip-hop, with his group Gang Starr and through his incredible Jazzmatazz albums, will be remembered for a long, long time…R.I.P. Guru…
The Ping Hoodie
Imagine wearing a hoodie that would allow you to connect to your favorite social-networking sites, wirelessly from anywhere…Designer Jennifer Darmour has created just that.

New 3D Android Phone Won't Require Glasses
After Sharp had announced that the company would be bringing a 3D phone to the market without the need for active shutter or passive 3D glasses, a trio of companies have partnered to show off a 3D Android prototype at the GTC 2010 conference. NVIDIA, rumored to provide the concept phone with a Tegra processor, has teamed up with Scaleform and Master Image, to show off a concept that could make it to launch in the latter half of 2011. According to Android and Me, which was present at GTC, it was the "best glasses-free 3D" experience and that the video, re-posted below, doesn't do the technology any justice. With 3D on a phone without the need for glasses, a whole new dimension of Android games could come to Android Market.
Image above is not of the 3D prototype phone shown off and is used for illustrative purposes only.

My high elf Lesui just got his second -MA, making him MA 7. He's one of my favorite all time players, with +AG, Pass Block, Leap, 5 INT,and I had been hoping he could make a run at the 21 INT record. Now, 7 MA is pretty slow for an elf, but it's not SO slow that he can't do anything, especially when I have fast players on the team like a MA9 player. He hasn't had a 2 TD or 10SPP game in 4 months, maybe he isn't worth the TV?

> He hasn't had a 2 TD or 10SPP game in 4 months
He's had 4 braces and a hat-trick - Remuda has 0 of both in 4 months, it's been 2.5 months for since Alaco earned his only brace, and Escosbar also only did it once as a rookie.
That's not the best metric to define success.
AG5 leap blodge as amazing, but less so in elf match ups without wrestle, strip ball, safe throw.
You seem to take a lot of DE WE Skaven match ups, which may mitigate some of his advantage as they pickup and catch on a 2+ as well. I assume there aren't as many HE games because of Safe Throw.
If you are happy to just take these games to get the record, then I'd keep him because he does what he does and MA 7 is fine.
Just be careful about going back to back (Dulles Drowboys, Black Witch), consecutive games against the same team in ranked isn't looked on that favourably.

This is true, I play mostly ballers because I don't want to see my players destroyed for no reason.
I was a pretty bad player in my early days and I'm trying to make smart decisions and I don't want to lose games for no reason, and I think I've progressed to being at least a mediocre to decent player.
I think I'm leaning towards keeping Lesui at least another 5 to 10 games, but I'm interested in hearing what other people think too.

I hate reading what you have said. It's a programmatic skill selection. Block -> dodge -> guard, side step...
SO what if he has pass block instead of side step. If the catcher is always within 3 squares of the ball carrier then it's a good idea. If he is not, then it's not a good skill pick. Since catchers can often be out wide and he has -2ma, the passblock does not exactly fit him, but he is +ag so it may work. (i.e. if it is to be used at all. probably best on a lineman, people don't look at their skills as much and they are usually in the middle of the field.).
Not sure if I am ranting at your or Blood bowl. I wish they would bring back the old Foul Appearance and Stand firm. Make skills that have people thinking "should I pick block?".

If you consider every possible scenario you can find useful any skill in Blood Bowl.
When you choose a skill you should consider how often you are going to use that skill and the synergic value of it, moreover you have 6 skill slots, but the first 3-4 are the most important ones and must be chosen carefully. With 10 skill slots maybe you might bother taking less optimal ones, but with 6 (assuming the player will survive until Legend) you have to pick the best ones (in case you roll one or more stat increases).
Some teams don't need to pass the ball, so if the opponent doesn't pass the ball then Pass Block is utterly useless.
On average Side Step will be used more often than Pass Block in a game: it reduces the blocks suffered, increases the chance of 1TTD, and prevents the Catcher from being surfed when next to the side lines.

-2ma for a Catcher = autofire, but Pass Block is a further good reason.

Well, if your idea of opponent is a blind man I think we don't need to debate about the skill picks
By the way, the client allows to mark the skills on players, decent coaches use to do it.

Old Stand Firm (the 3rd edition one) was nice for agile players, they could dodge without falling in case of failure. I used to pick it.

MA 7 is not terrible if he is still doing the job you built him for.
Yes a new Catcher might be 1 MA faster and less bloaty... but they wont be the Pass Blocking monster you have created nor will they be 5 INT towards that goal.
As for joyless Block, Dodge, SS, etc builds. They do work and are more effective and efficient in terms of TV. But BB is a game. So if grinding out a higher win percentage is the goal then maybe cut him and don't take Pass Block on any catchers for a while. But if you find it fun, and that is your goal... then crack on.
FWIW i like Pass Block on 1-2 key players fro certain teams. They only need to work once a game to change the game
TL:DR - is he still fun? Then keep him. You can afford a game or two to trial him and see with 212 already played yeah?

Horrible to keep. Basically you are paying 70k for the +Agility on a player who is already at -Ma, where Pass Block especially requires fast players.

I find a mix of skills more effective that always taking the same skills on every position. Pass Block helps on defence and side step helps on offense, even if pass block is not the most effctive skill, it still makes opponents think twice about passing or move around your player, so I find it a decent skill, especially on ag5/catch players.

For many coaches passing is not an option, unless they are forced to, and even if they are forced, they tend to avoid Pass Blockers or contain them (for example with Tentacles), you need more than 1 Pass Blocker to cover the field and having many Pass Blockers lowers the overall efficiency of the team.
Anyway, you are free to take sub-par skills, you clearly are not interested in efficiency.
As an aside, Side Step is good on defense too, because you can mark ball carriers or shut down better the side lines by placing side steppers on the wide zones. Side Step may make a coach refrain from blocking a Side Stepper with Blodge because he could move in a bad position for the blocking coach.

He is a fun player. I very occasionally keep injured old players but 2x -MA is too much to cope with. He has had a spell at legend but hasn't made a dent towards the interception record so I would let him go as he probably won't be making that record.

If you love the player, keep them, regardless of the extra cost or diminished return on investment. Let them die on the pitch like a true legend. Or see if you can get another -MA, just for the laughs.
I've used
Pass Block
to win a match before; it's my favorite skill in the game. It's worth taking just to see the look on your opponent's face when you announce "I'm using
Pass Block
", as no one expects anyone to ever take it. If it results in an interception or a dropped pass/catch, even better.

fire him! Because he is a bad player. He was somewhat cool, but he is bad now.
I personally like pass block, but in any circumstance other skills would be better, but then again unpredicatbility (in choosing skills) can sometimes win games, though I expect less than normal if you looked at it with statisical glasses.
You have to build a new one, it takes no time with catchers, so its not that a big loss.

Quick March for Royal London
The key to the Changing of the Guard – no simple exchange, this, but an elaborate ceremony choreographed to the minute – is to see as much as possible without hanging around. This half day tour combines the best bits of the Horse Guards, St James's Palace and Buckingham Palace ceremonies with a visit Westminster Abbey and Parliament Square. The full day can include the Churchill War Rooms and a Westminster Village walk, or a boat ride to see more guards in action at the Tower of London.
From August to March the ceremony takes place on alternate days. The schedule may be affected by royal events, particularly in June, and the foot guards do not appear in rainy weather. So the more flexibility, the better!

Have you ever gotten into a situation with the person you are dating where you just cannot come to terms?
Here's what I know...
(1)Sometimes two people have opposing viewpoints on a subject and just cannot agree.
(2) If you care about someone, you should give them the space to have his or her own opinion and for you to have yours.
(3) Sometimes a disagreement can be healthy for a relationship as long as you can move by it.
(4) Two people will never agree on everything and this can add dimensionality to your relationship.
(5) If you have a disagreement and you cannot come to terms, you need to think about whether you can respect the other person's point of view although you don't agree w it.
(6) Perhaps you can learn something from your partner's differing viewpoint. Take a step back and try to understand how they are looking at things.

One man was fatally gunned down, a woman was stabbed and three other men were wounded during separate attacks Sunday on the city's South and West sides.
Most recently in the 300 block of West 60th Place, a 22-year-old man was shot dead on the scene about 2:50 p.m., according to Police News Affairs Officer Jose Estrada.
The man was walking on a sidewalk when an assailant shot him in the chest before fleeing in a gray 4-door car, Estrada said.
Demarco Lyons, of the 6000 block of South Princeton Avenue, was pronounced dead on the scene at 2:58 p.m., according to the Cook County medical examiner's office.
In the city's West Pullman neighborhood shortly before 2 p.m., a 27-year-old man was shot in the chest and seriously hurt during a robbery in the 12200 block of South Harvard Avenue, the officer said.
The victim's condition had stabilized at Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, according to Chicago Fire Department spokesman Chief Juan Hernandez
The first of two earlier shootings was in Pilsen, where someone shot a man in the left arm and back about 8:50 a.m. in the 1300 block of West 18th Place on the West Side, said Estrada. The man, who has gang affiliations, was taken in critical condition to the hospital, said Estrada, who said the shooting was gang-related.
In that shooting, paramedics were called to the 1300 block of West 18th Street at 8:51 a.m. for a person shot, said Hernandez. The victim, who Hernandez said is 40-year-old man, was taken to John H. Stroger, Jr. Hospital of Cook County, where his condition had stabilized.
No one is in custody and Area Central detectives are investigating.
About 11 a.m. in the 8000 block of South Manistee Avenue in the city's South Chicago neighborhood, a 23-year-old man was shot in both arms and was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital where his condition had stabilized, Estrada said.
The victim was not cooperating with Area South investigators, the officer said. Hernandez said the man was 21 years old.
Also, on the 7200 block of South Lowe Avenue in the Englewood neighborhood, a 51-year-old woman was stabbed at about 10:30 a.m., Hernandez said. The woman was taken to St. Bernard Hospital where her condition had stabilized.

Getting inside the numbers – a cognitive approach to finance
A few years ago, business leaders could see the competition coming. The biggest risk was a new rival entering the market with a better or cheaper product or service. Today, 'uberization' or industry disruption caused by an unlikely competitor, has become a dominant concern of the C-suite. In IBM's latest study 'Redefining Boundaries', in which 643 CFOs participated, it was found that business leaders believe cloud computing, mobile solutions, the Internet of Things, and cognitive…Read More
How Happy Employees make Happy Customers

All of the other speakers at the conference focused on how to develop content for consumers – an extension of a traditional marketing campaign.

Why Should a CISO Attend the Security Leaders' Day at IBM BusinessConnect 2015?
Security threats are front page news effecting brand and market share. They're getting more frequent and sophisticated. Marketing activities are plentiful in trying to help security leaders comprehend the challenges facing them. So why is IBM's Security Leader's day on 10th November any different? Well, in a recent IBM study that talked to C-level executives, IBM learned that two years ago IT security ranked low on the list of concerns. Now, 68 percent of respondents rank…Read More

Marcus Sheridan at The Sales Lion shares his tips for not only generating a lot of comments on your blog posts, but also generating quality comments.
"Stir Up the Pot"
Make the reader think, ask questions and WANT to respond with their own opinions. Remember that as with most social media, you're starting a conversation.
"Don't See Comments as a One-Way Street"
Comments aren't a place for the author to bask in the glory of a well written piece. A blog community wants to have a conversation.
"Actively Comment Everywhere"
Commenting on other blogs builds awareness and encourages reciprocation. Make it a point to comment on other blogs everyday
"Use CommentLuv and ReplyMe"
These plug-ins used in conjunction with the standard WordPress comment box enhance ease of use and make for richer commenting.
"Let Your Articles Simmer"
Allowing more time in between posts ensures that comments and conversations have a chance to build.
"Be a Thought Leader"
Master your niche. Discuss issues no one else covers. It's a matter of seeing the world just a little differently.
"Be Very Opinionated"
Take a stong stand, whatever your topic/niche.
"Look to Give Value to Others at Every Turn"
Promoting other people in a thoughtful way is a great way to get the same consideration in return.
"Use GREAT Headlines"
Given the barrage of information that most readers shift through on a daily basis, articles with boring, lousy titles probably won't stand out above the noise.
"Ask and Ye Shall Receive"
Explicitly invite your readers to comment.

Ahhh.... school's out for summer. I love this time of year- the change of pace, the not-rushing, relative calm of the morning routine, the sensory extremes of unbearable heat and humidity and the delicious cool of air conditioning and evening breezes, the adventure of travel and camps and spontaneous outings that only happen in expansive time. This will also be the first summer in many years I'll be working (part-time) and not exclusively home with children. It's bittersweet, in a way, but also exciting to change things up a little, and to feel that essential bit closer to a professional existence beyond motherhood.
One of the very first things we do each year to kick-off summer is head to the library. I went with a few specific titles in mind - Colum McCann's TransAtlantic, Rachel Kushner's The Flamethrowers, A.M. Homes' May We Be Forgiven - and of course none of them were on the shelf (I didn't really expect them to be without a request, but a girl can always hope). I was thrilled to stumble upon a few books that have been on my to-read list for a while: Lydia Millet's Magnificence; Jami Attenberg's The Middlesteins; Lydia Netzer's Shine Shine Shine. And as a bonus, I found a short story collection by A.M. Homes. Thus my summer reading begins with a few hold requests and a delightful dive into Magnificence (W.W. Norton, 2013) - here's a little taste of Millet's whimsical and poignant opening:
"It was a stricken love, but still love. It was the kind of love that gazed up at you from the bare white flood of your headlights- a wide-eyed love with the meekness of grass-eaters. Soft fur, pink tongue, and if you got to close a whiff of mulch on the breath. This was the love she cherished for her husband.
The love had other moments. Of course it did. But its everyday form was vegetarian."
Gorgeous writing and vegetarian love - who could resist?
Happy reading! What's on your reading list this summer?

After few weeks of using Xfce I suddenly ran into following problem - my keyboard shortcuts are not working when I am using two monitors (actually one monitor and notebook itself).
When I unplug notebook from docking station, everything is working fine. It used to work correctly and I am not aware of any changes I made to settings so it must be some bad update or something.
I am running on Xfce 4.10 and Fedora 18.
P.S. It might be related to my another question

Ukraine parliament passes protest amnesty law
The Ukrainian parliament has passed a law providing amnesty to protesters detained during recent unrest.
Opposition parties abstained from voting, in anger at a condition in the bill which means it will only apply if protesters abandon government buildings they have occupied in recent days.
Protesters on the streets of the capital also rejected the move.
The protests began in November after President Viktor Yanukovych reversed a decision to sign an EU trade deal.
The next month he signed a $15bn-worth (£9.2bn; 10.9bn euros) bailout deal with Russia.
On Wednesday, the EU's top foreign policy chief said she was "shocked" by the deadly violence in the capital and across the country in recent weeks.
Catherine Ashton - who was in Kiev for talks with Mr Yanukovych and opposition groups - said Ukraine needed "a political process that is engaged in quickly and properly by everyone".
"The responsibility is inevitably going to fall on government to do that as quickly as possible," she said.
Late on Wednesday, the amnesty bill was passed by 232 votes to 11, with the backing of Mr Yanukovych's majority Party of the Regions.
But 173 MPs did not vote, and there were shouts of protest from opposition members.
"Parliament has just passed a law on hostages," said Oleh Tyahnybok, leader of the far-right group Svoboda (Freedom) and a key figure in the protests.
"The authorities have themselves recognised that they are taking hostages as terrorists do, so they can trade the hostages," he said.
One protester in the main camp in Kiev's Independence Square told the Associated Press: "Is this a compromise, or are these political prisoners?"
"We will seize new buildings, if the authorities don't really change the situation in the country," said Artem Sharai.
Pro-EU protesters have taken over a number of properties in Kiev and other cities which they are using as operation centres and dormitories, and to seek refuge from the freezing conditions outside.
The BBC's Duncan Crawford in Kiev says the political crisis has not gone away with the amnesty, and the protesters will remain on the streets.
Boxer-turned-protest leader Vitaly Klitschko told the crowds gathered in Independence Square that the fight would go on.
"Instead of reducing the degree (of tension) in society, (it will do) the opposite, (the) temperature will be rising," Interfax news agency quoted him saying.
Mr Klitschko said the opposition's position remained "the same" - it will seek the release of the arrested activists.
Our correspondent says Mr Klitschko knows the protesters will not go home unless President Yanukovych stands down and calls elections, and signs the long-awaited trade deal with the EU.
On Tuesday, in a concession to the protesters, parliament revoked controversial laws cracking down on demonstrations. The laws, introduced two weeks ago, had further inflamed their anger.
President Yanukovych also accepted the resignation of the Prime Minister Mykola Azarov and his cabinet, but neither measure ended the stand-off.
Moscow, meanwhile, has indicated that it may hold back some of a promised bailout package until a new government is formed.
The loans, worth $15bn (£9.2bn; 10.9bn euros), were widely seen as a reward for Kiev's rejection of the EU deal.

Most diabetics are told to check their blood sugar levels when they first get up in the morning and before they eat. Recent research shows that it is far more important to check blood sugar levels 20 minutes after eating.
Blood sugar levels rise after eating. If they rise too high, sugar sticks to cells and is converted to poison called sorbitol that destroys that cell to cause blindness, deafness, heart attacks, strokes, kidney damage and impotence. Since the maximum rise in blood sugar determines the amount of cell damage, the most important time to measure sugar is 20 minutes after you eat. Doctors have other tests that measure how much sugar sticks to cells . HBA1C tells you how out-of-control your diet has been for the last 12 weeks, while fructosamine tells you how out-of-control your diet has been for the last two weeks. See report #D222.

This weekend, I'll be attending the Out of Chicago Photography Conference! Each year, I try to attend at least one photography workshop or conference. It's a great opportunity to meet new people and learn some new tricks. Thanks to an onslaught of online training options, it's easy to talk yourself out of actually jumping in the car or catching a plane. But no webinar can truly replace the personal connections made at in person events.
One of the things I love about photography is that the learning never stops. And this particular conference is geared toward that fact. The schedule is full of speakers from a variety of disciplines - from architecture to street photography. Only a slice of the content deals with portraiture, my passion. And that's one reason why I'm going. Learning about other photographic genres is a perfect way to put a new spin on old perspectives. For example, I'll be sitting in a few lectures on street photography. Street photographers, by definition, strive to be invisible. The best images are usually made without the subject even realizing an image was captured, thus preserving a special authenticity. When shooting a Day in the Life session, I want to be discreet. Sure, my clients know I'm there, but anything I can do to blend in a little better is beneficial.
In addition to lectures, the conference will also have several photowalks. Yes, we'll be out running around Chicago! Photowalks are great, because only a fellow photographer can appreciate the idea of spending hours shooting The Bean from every conceivable angle.
Stay tuned for a debrief next week! And I promise to pick just a couple images to show you.

And now they find themselves whisked off to the planet Venus in the distant future, at a time when warrior women rule from a floating city in the clouds. There's a mystery here, one that the Grand Empress Vulpina intends to keep secret. Even if it means destroying these visitors from the long-dead planet Earth…

The word "appear" means "clear to the comprehension", or a phrase near to, if not synonymous with "proved". It imparts a lesser degree of probability than proof. In Pyare Lal Bhargava v. State of Rajasthan, AIR 1963 SC 1094, a four Judge Bench of the Hon'ble Apex Court was concerned with the meaning of the word "appear". The Court held that the appropriate meaning of the word "appears" is "seems". It imports a lesser degree of probability than proof. In Ram Singh v. Ram Niwas, (2009) 14 SCC 25, a two Judge Bench of the Hon'ble Apex Court was again required to examine the importance of the word "appear" as appearing in the Section. The Court held that for the fulfillment of the condition that it appears to the Court that a person had committed an offence, the court must satisfy itself about the existence of an exceptional circumstance enabling it to exercise an extraordinary jurisdiction. What is therefore, necessary for the court is to arrive at a satisfaction that the evidence adduced on behalf of the prosecution, if unrebutted, may lead to conviction of the persons sought to be added as the accused in the case.

Multiple Commodity Flow Problem with Unreliable Nodes subject to Budget Constraints
Volume 4, Number 1, January 2008 - Paper 3 - pp. 31 - 42
YI-KUEI LINDepartment of Industrial Management
National Taiwan University of Science and Technology
Taipei, Taiwan 106, R.O.C.
(Received on July 10, 2007)
Many real life systems such as manufacturing, telecommunication, computers, and urban traffic systems can be modeled as capacitated-flow networks. The reliability and unreliability are two important indices to measure the quality level for a capacitated-flow network. For a multiple commodity (different types of commodity) capacitated-flow network with unreliable nodes, the arcs and nodes all have several possible capacities and may fail. Different types of commodities that are transmitted through the same network simultaneously compete for the available capacities of arcs and nodes. In this paper, we first define the system capacity as a vector composed by the capacity of each component (arc or node). Then we propose a performance index, which is the probability that the upper bound of the system capacity equals a given pattern, subject to the budget constraint. The performance index can be applied to evaluate the quality level for such a network. A simple algorithm based on minimal cuts is thus presented to evaluate the performance index.
