Thank you for your input.
I agree, and that's how I understand it. The concept is "processed" by a complicated stream of mind objects, it's not a "single object". As dhamma follower points out, the suttas are quite clear that it's the examination of those simpler objects that leads to wisdom, not the pondering of complicated concepts like "one plus one is two".nathan wrote:Assuming this is a serious question I'll attempt an answer. The arising, appearance and passing of the concept: "one plus one is two" is subject to the perception of the three characteristics in manifold ways. A concept is composed of a mind object(s) which arises in co-dependence together with the supporting mental qualities ...mikenz66 wrote: And what about the concept "my self"? Is that an "object of mind-conciousness". Kind of, but it's built from complex interactions analysable into all khandhas or sense bases.
dhamma follower wrote: Again, the key point is to see that concepts come as a result of a sequence of processes, they are not object of panna, they are object (or content) of sanna. Panna is not concerned with the content of sanna, it is concerned with its individual characteristics (sabhava) and general characteristics (tilakkhana). That's why the distinction between the two are necessary, so that yonisso manasikara can arise.

The LinuxThreads project originally brought multithreading to Linux, but didn't conform to POSIX threading standards. The introduction of Native POSIX Thread Library (NPTL) however, overcame many of these disadvantages. This article describes some of the differences between these two Linux threading models for developers who may need to port their applications or who simply want to understand where the differences lie.

A Sort of Homecoming in Brill
July 27, 2011
Anexxia had been at loose ends for a few weeks now, ever since walking out on her raiding team. They continued on with their never-ending fight against evil monsters, leaving Anexxia puttering about in Orgrimmar, restless.
One hot Sunday afternoon, she packed a small bag with her herbalism scissors and her sewing kit, and hopped upon the zeppelin for Tirisfal Glades. It was an easy decision to leave the dust and bustle of the City-- she'd never felt welcome there. It was merely the most convenient point from which to set out with the raiding party. With those days behind her, she was free to return to the only place that had ever felt like home -- The Dark Lady's kingdom.
Even from the zeppelin tower, it was clear that things had changed in the years since she left on her crusade for justice. Brill had grown up. No longer a hastily slapped together burg, it was now a respectable place to call one's home.
Anexxia kept her eyes peeled for for rent signs. The office was the easier find. But it took poking about in a number of unsatisfactory rooming halls before she found the studio. She'd nearly decided not to head up the stairs to look at the place after her encounter with the landlady. She was quite possibly one of the most dim-witted shadow priests Anexxia had ever met. Standing about with her flapping outdated bat-wing staff, not having been in shadow form in aeons. But her feet were getting tired, so Anexxia trudged up the stairs, and found the absolutely perfect place.
Nice rock hard bed, candles everywhere, cobwebs in every corner. Yes, this will do, she thought to herself. "I'll take it!" she yelled down the stairs at the landlady, who chirped back something about being just thrilled to have another shadow priest in the house.
Taking off her dusty boots, and lying down upon the bed, Anexxia still didn't know what she was going to do with herself. But at least she was finally home. And thus, she rested.

Remember the mom who was banned for life from a grocery store for forgetting to pay for a half-gallon of milk she stowed under her stroller while shopping? In the latest "mommy brain caper," a 30-weeks pregnant Hawaii mom was arrested and temporarily lost custody of her daughter after failing to pay for a $5 sandwich she nibbled on while shopping.
Nicole Leszczynski, the mom, was shopping at her local Safeway with her husband and 3-year-old daughter when she started to feel lightheaded. She said she picked up a sandwich to eat while shopping, but forgot to add it to the $50 of groceries she paid for. When they tried to leave the store after checking out, the family was stopped by a security guard, who asked to see the receipt. Leszczynski said she offered to pay for the sandwich (and had the cash on hand to do so), but the store manager called the police and she and her husband were arrested, charged with fourth-degree theft, and—here comes the worst part—their 3-year-old daughter was taken into child protective services while both parents were held at the police station overnight. The police didn't comment on the story.

Watch the mom tell her side of the story to KHON news:
Stealing is wrong, but seeing as how this mom offered to pay up once she realized her mistake, I'm not sure why the store and the police gave her the full-on criminal treatment and took her kid away from her over a measly $5. In fact, the store has since acknowledged that it "may not have handled this matter in the best possible way."
Did you ever have a mommy brain moment like this when you were pregnant? Do you think that the store and/or police overreacted in this situation?

Synopsis by Jason Buchanan
A seminary student on the verge of realizing his lifelong dream of joining the clergy gains a better understanding of the outside world when his clerical supplies are stolen in Iranian filmmaker Seyyed Reza Mir-Karimi's humanistic sophomore drama. As Seyyed Hassan scours the suburban landscape in a desperate effort to identify the young thief, he soon comes into contact with a number of citizens whose understanding of the clergy is middling at best. His search intensifying, Sayyed's education in the outside world proves as essential to his future role in the church as the long hours he spent studying in seminary school.

2012 Tour Stop #11 - Naperville RibfestJune 29, 2012
The Naperville Ribfest, hosted by the Exchange Club, celebrated their 25th anniversary this year. The Great American BBQ Tour has been at the last five. Each year, the layout of the event changes and this year was no different. Usually, because of our demonstrations and visiting with people, we are placed far enough away from the main stage; however, this was not the case this year as we were right in line with it all.
This has been an especially hot summer and Naperville didn't disappoint as temps were just shy of100 with a heat index well above. Keep in mind, that is the air temp and not the temperature on the GABT stage with the stainless steel table and two smoking hot Big Green Eggs!
With the 4th falling on a Wednesday, the event was extended a day this year and started on Friday afternoon and went through Tuesday.
On Saturday, we were tickled to read in the event brochure that our favorite "GrillGrrrl" Robyn would be doing grilling demonstrations at the Sears booth. She just "happened" to be cooking with Ty Pennington, so we used our connection to sneak to the front of the line for pictures. That made Christine's day!
On Sunday morning, the event opened up late due to storms that swept through the area. The entire event was cleared and we all had to take refuge in the storm shelter. Lucky for us, everything went just north of us where it knocked out power and really shook things up.
The Ribfest is more about selling ribs than it is a competition. The rib vendors were set up in the Southern part of the park and it was great to see the crew from Willingham's BBQ at their first Ribfest. They brought a local guy with them who was nice enough to bring us white bag treats from Pticek & Son Bakery. Our buddy Scottie with Cancersuckschicago.com tended the ribs for Uncle Bub's while his daughter Zoe helped Christine and I at the Great American BBQ Tour trailer. We had a very touching moment when Lynne Barag and Alyson Lupinetti from Butch's Smack Your Lips BBQ made a special trip over to say hello. This was their first year back at Ribfest without Butch Lupinetti. Christine and I have such fond memories of Butch stopping by whatever event we were at to just say hello and let us know how much he loved BBQ and KCBS.
While we usually feel safe at events, this was especially true as the Naperville Police Department set up their mobile command station right behind the trailer. It is always good to make friends with the local law…
With ACH Foods who represent Weber Sauces and Seasonings based in the area, we had quite a few of the Weber folks stop by the trailer to get updates on the popularity of the Weber® Just Add Juice™ and new BBQ Sauces. The response has been fantastic and at this event, plenty of "thumbs up!"

CSN Houston to launch Monday at 5pm
2 comments:
Jeff Luhnow is our biggest star!
- September 29, 2012 at 1:20 PM
- Deputy Jason said...
I just want to add a bit to what AC said about CSN Houston. The offices and studios are located on San Jacinto downtown right across the street from House of Blues in the Pavillion.
I met up with the Communications manager Richard Bocchini and he took me around the main offices on the 2nd floor. The whole area is under serious construction and they are installing millions of TV screens it seems in every nook and cranny.
With the offices being so new and the staff all just being hired, there are still plenty of introductions being done between CSN employees.
Richard is a hockey buff and has done some play by play in that sport which is of little use in Houston because most of us Texans couldnt name an active hockey player. I am happy to see he and his co-horts have really made an effort to hire local talent at the station. They feel that its an advantage to have folks that know the area coverage of the high schools, colleges and pro teams almost innately. I agree with their plan and I hope that it works to make the viewing experience a comfortable one right out of the box.
We took a walk downstairs (elevator not functioning yet) and talked about how another highlight would be how the public can walk right up to the newsroom and look in like the Today Show set. They are going to be shooting news updates and possibly segments involving fans right there where all can be a part of the fan experience.
I was excited to get a glance of the control room and witness the show being done live, especially after watching Newsroom on HBO this year. I kept waiting for them to start yelling at each other about the Tea Party, but it never happened. Maybe next time.
Next we walked onto the set where Keenan McCardell, Jerome Simpson and Kevin Eschenfelder were debating Texans stuff. The set is really sharp, it has a late night feel to it with a dark city skyline and some cool sports memorabilia on shelves. Very tasteful and easy to look at.
I should also mention, although I know little to nothing about TV production, Richard pointed out how all of the equipment the crews are using is brand new and top of the line. It results in beautiful picture, sound and highly efficient replay capability.
Some of the other tidbits I picked up from Richard include a focus on bringing local high school sports a larger audience, post game shows that will be the most in-depth ever done in Houston and a dedication to reporting accurately and independant of oversight from the teams.
Overall, count me one of many who are excited to have CSN Houston get up and running. You can be sure they will be ready as they have been running full dress rehearsals for two weeks and still have this weekend to iron out some wrinkles.
Big thanks to Richard for taking some time for us and answering all of my questions. Hopefully he has us back out soon.

Travster Travel needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 34 designs submitted by 13 freelance designers.
Travster sells holidays for young people, but its only an agency, not an operator.
Travster will be an online travel agency for people between 16 and 30. Its like an agency for the mtv - generation and that`s how the site should look like. It should get another kind of presentation - more in a web 2.0 blog style
I started some designs on my own - now I need you for a professional looking redesign. I need a site with 3 subsites: First there is the startpage and the subpages for summer, winter ... - I did a first layout here: http://www.travster.de/sommerreisen/ -- Startpage and the pages for summer, winter .. can look the same. From my designs only the logo and the blue color in some way has to stay - all the other things can change - it`s only for an impression what I need. And there should be a 300 px part at the right side (with space for at least one 300 pix ad). I like the clear style and big letters of the wordpress themes - it should be something like this - And there should be a big picture changer (e.g. on bet.com or mtv.com but also total other styles ) on the start and first subpage.
Then there is another subsite for the destinations and the kind of vacation you can do there - like here: http://www.travster.de/lloret-de-mar/ and an subsite for the closer look to the journey - I think the partition in 3 is quite ok for this kind of size - but I`m not determined. (my first try here: http://www.travster.de/lloret-de-ma…eise.html)
So in all its one layout with 3 or 4 subpages. (index , first sub e.g. summer, destination and journey).
I attached some scribbles - we think the style of the flyer is not that bad.
The typo of the logo is avenir

4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting work surface
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup pure olive oil
3/4 cup red vermouth, Marsala, sweet sherry, or other sweet wine
such as Vin Santo
2 large eggs
4 to 6 cups peanut or vegetable oil, for deep-frying
About 2 cups honey, warm
Sift together the flour, nutmeg, cinnamon, allspice, baking powder,
and salt and set aside. In the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with
the paddle attachment, mix together the olive oil, vermouth, and
eggs until well blended. Add the dry ingredients all at once and mix
on low speed until the mixture forms a cohesive mass. Scrape the
dough onto a very lightly floured board. Knead lightly until smooth.
Shape the dough into a ball, flatten, and place in a bowl. Dust the
top lightly with flour, cover with a towel or plastic wrap, and
refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight to allow the
dough to relax.
If necessary, lightly dust the work surface with flour. Cut the
dough into 6 or 8 pieces. Roll each piece into a rope 1/2-inch in
diameter. Cut the ropes into 1/2-inch pieces. Shape into "gnocchi"
with a gnocchi board, butter paddle, or on the back side of the
tines of a fork. The deeper the grooves on the cookies the better as
they puff up as they fry and the ridges, unless deep, tend to
Heat the oil in a deep-fryer or deep pan to 350 degrees F.
Fry the cookies in about 4 batches until puffed and medium to dark
brown, about 1 1/2 minutes. It is easiest to pile the cookies in a
sieve or fry basket and then dip them into the hot oil. Each batch
should include enough cookies to cover the surface of the oil. Any
fewer and the oil gets too hot and browns the cookies before they
are cooked through. Stir the cookies while they fry so they do not
stick together. The number of cookies you add to the oil and the
amount of oil will change the timing. The cookies first turn light
gold, then a light brown, and finally almost a light milk chocolate
color. Remove just as they get to this color or a little before.
Drain on paper towels.
While still hot, put the cookies in a large shallow dish and pour
the honey over them. Toss the cookies several times as they cool. If
the cookies absorb all the honey, add more - they should be fully
saturated. Serve in a pretty bowl or store in a covered container.
They will keep for about 1 week.
Chef's Notes: Starting with a 1/2-inch piece of dough yields a
cookie about 1 inch long, perfect for popping in your mouth all at
once. They can be made smaller or larger, depending on your
preference. Two hundred sounds like a lot of cookies. But once you
taste one you will understand why you should be thinking about
making several batches in quick succession.

DailyDirt: Un-chained Bikes
from the urls-we-dig-up dept
- Hungarian bicycle designers made a chainless bike that uses high density polyethylene (HDPE) strings in a pulley system. This design also lets cyclists (or potential thieves...) remove the rear bike tire very easily since no chain is attached to the rear wheel. [url]
- Dynamic Bicycles sells a chainless bike with a drive shaft with shielded internal gears that aren't exposed to the elements. No strings or chains in this design, just some gears turning a shaft connected to a Shimano transmission hub on the rear wheel. [url]
- The Lunartic bike concept is belt-driven and also has a hubless rear wheel. Suspension seems like a problem for this bike design, but there's no annoying chain to deal with. [url]
- Western Michigan University students have created a hydraulic bike that uses fluids instead of a chain to transfer pedaling power into forward motion. The BroncoBike doesn't look exactly lightweight or compact, so it's probably not a very practical alternative to a traditional bike chain (yet?). [url]

This is my second set of these pedals, bought for a new bike. The first set are five years old and still work like new. These pedals are simply all but bomb proof (and they may well be that if someone wanted to run a test). The M540's need little maintenance and never have come out of adjustment. My first pair have stood up to cyclocross racing and gravel road riding, have been banged on rocks and more. Great pedal, especially at the price.
Purchased the M540 pedals to replace a cheapo set I had previously installed. First, the quality of the pedal materials is excellent and the pedals are decently finished with no rough edges. The pedals came with detailed instructions and guidance for mounting both pedals and cleats. The threads on the pedal spindles are sharp and clean, no issues in mounting to the crank arms. Cleat release pressure is adjustable. I only have a few miles on the pedals to date but they have performed well and are head and shoulders above the set these pedals replaced. I am sure that I will get many happy miles on them. The Shimano M540s are an excellent value, good quality and well made. I highly recommend them. Hat's off to probikekit.com for offering them at such a reasonable price.

Dear Pauline,
A few months ago I started receiving anonymous texts saying that my best friend and my boyfriend were messing around. At first, I ignored them, thinking it was a bad joke. But then I started thinking, and friends started talking. I heard from one friend that my best friend has mentioned her "forbidden love" for a man who is in a relationship and has a daughter, which is just like my boyfriend and me. On the same nights he "picks up shifts at work" and I call her to hang out, she says she's busy. And for some reason, two of the most important people in my life always have an excuse for not being in the same space with me at the same time. I've known my girl since we were babies. She's closer to me than my own sisters. And my boyfriend might be a jerk sometimes, but he is the father of my little girl. I don't know if I should ruin a good thing by asking questions or pretend someone isn't trying to tell me something I would rather ignore.—La Textenovela
Dear Textenovela,
I'm going to be completely up front with you on this one because for a minute I was all "Oh, poor girl!" and then I was Googling "How do you send an anonymous text?" because I didn't realize how enormous the rock I live under actually is. Now that we all know I don't have to walk you through hitting "reply" on an incoming text, we're moving on, M'ija. So let's keep up.
You asked me what you should do. The short answer is: Something. While it's entirely possible you could be wrong about your baby daddy and your best friend, I think we both know you wrote #Dimelo hoping for a pass on having to deal with a reality you are already aware of. Wonder Woman and Diana Prince are never seen in the same room because Super Hero Secret Identity! so if these two can't be in a room together with you it means they are either the same person or they are really hoping you are as stupid as they think they are smart.
It's easier to save face than it is to stand up for ourselves, so stand up for your little girl instead. If she comes to you in 20 years with the same question you asked me here, will you tell her to stay in an unhappy relationship because of the baby and pretend her best friend doesn't need a refresher course on how to actually be one? Or will you tell her she's worth more than that and needs to own it, dump the trash from her life, and move on?
I'm a mom, too, and I know what ends I'd go to for my daughter. Sometimes, I do for me only after I think of what I'd do for her because motherhood is one hell of a motivator. So is hanging tight for the Big Reveal when you get to the end of your real life Spanglish Soap Opera. I have a feeling that's your anonymous text angel might be comfortable enough to show themselves once the dust settles if you decide to shake things up. I totally want and update if they do. —Now go write your theme song.

IBM and HP used the Storage Networking World conference in San Diego this week as a platform to launch new storage hardware, software, and services aimed specifically at small and medium-sized enterprises. Both vendors sounded a uniform theme of simplicity and significantly reduced costs as the big payoffs of their new storage solutions.
HP unveiled a new edition of the company's storage resource management software that the vendor said eliminates labor-intensive tasks by automating often complex and tedious storage processes using a secure browser-based interface. HP Storage Essentials provides users with a single control point for of all of storage resources on their storage area networks (SAN) and all network attached storage (NAS) appliances.

Okay, not really. But as Alex Ross points out, the pope's Christmas homily about the importance of the family unwittingly makes a powerful argument in favor of marriage equality — which is what always happens when people begin waxing eloquent about how wonderful marriage is for the people involved. The pope said:
…The question of the family is not just about a particular social construct, but about man himself—about what he is and what it takes to be authentically human. The challenges involved are manifold. First of all there is the question of the human capacity to make a commitment or to avoid commitment. Can one bind oneself for a lifetime? Does this correspond to man's nature? Does it not contradict his freedom and the scope of his self-realization? Does man become himself by living for himself alone and only entering into relationships with others when he can break them off again at any time? Is lifelong commitment antithetical to freedom? Is commitment also worth suffering for? Man's refusal to make any commitment—which is becoming increasingly widespread as a result of a false understanding of freedom and self-realization as well as the desire to escape suffering—means that man remains closed in on himself and keeps his "I" ultimately for himself, without really rising above it. Yet only in self-giving does man find himself, and only by opening himself to the other, to others, to children, to the family, only by letting himself be changed through suffering, does he discover the breadth of his humanity.
The inevitable and obvious question: why doesn't this apply to gay people? If making lifelong commitments is so profoundly good for us as individuals and for humanity in general, why does this magically not apply to gay people who want to make such a commitment? Because this is all a bunch of bullshit, a pretext for bigotry and discrimination.

There are two ways to look at the recent push by Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn and Senate President John Cullerton to grant driver's licenses to illegal immigrants.
The first is to say absolutely not. Illegal immigrants, after all, are here illegally. They're not supposed to be living in the U.S. They shouldn't be able to buy and register automobiles. Employers aren't supposed to hire them, so they shouldn't have jobs that they need a car to drive to each day. And so on.
Giving illegal immigrants driver's licenses also sends the message that, yes, we will accept you in our society even if you've broken our laws to get here and live here in violation of those laws. We certainly can't pretend to be discouraging illegal immigration if we take measures to accommodate those living here illegally.
Unfortunately, there are other realities in play in Illinois. For starters, Democrats now have supermajority control in the state House and Senate, and we already know Cullerton and Quinn think licensing illegal immigrant drivers is a good idea.
Second, the city of Chicago already prides itself on accommodating illegal immigrants. It is a "sanctuary city," which forbids its employees – including police – from inquiring about the immigration status of people.
Whether we want undocumented immigrants to be accommodated or not doesn't matter. In our state, they already are accommodated. They live and work here and they drive on our roads, and unless they commit a felony, they probably won't be deported.
Considering the circumstances, if those who take a dim view of illegal immigration cannot kill the proposal, at least they should try to shape it into something they can live with.
The proposal is not unprecedented. Three U.S. states – New Mexico, Utah and Washington – allow those without Social Security numbers to obtain driver's licenses.
Proponents of the change say that licensing more drivers would make Illinois roads safer. They estimate that 250,000 immigrants on Illinois roads today have not passed a driving test and are uninsured. These unlicensed, uninsured drivers are responsible for $64 million in damage claims each year, according to the Illinois Highway Safety Coalition. Proponents say Illinoisans could save $46 million each year in premium payments if half of the 250,000 unlicensed immigrants on the road were to receive licenses and buy insurance.
There are potential public safety and financial benefits to taking more drivers out of the uninsured pool, and to regulating more drivers.
If that is the problem that must be remedied, then the solution must be narrowly tailored to address it. Driver's licenses given to people without a Social Security number should not be on par with what citizens receive.
These non-citizen licenses should be used only to prove that a driver has passed a road test and is eligible to drive and obtain insurance. They should not be considered a valid form of ID for boarding an airplane, registering to vote, buying a gun or any other business.
Licensees also should be required to provide some form of ID to prove their identity, and be fingerprinted so they can be tracked.
These licenses also should cost significantly more, and be immediately suspended if the licensee is caught driving without insurance. Perhaps after a second violation, the license would be permanently revoked.
The only way licenses for undocumented immigrants should be considered acceptable is if they are used for a very narrow purpose. Illegal immigrants are not citizens; they are not entitled to the same privileges.

WestConn graduate awarded Fulbright scholarship
Anthropology major to help deportees in Jamaica
DANBURY, CONN. — When Ashley Hyde, a 2009 WestConn graduate, traveled to Cape Verde, Africa, last year as part of a university mission, she saw an opportunity to help others.
While on the trip, sponsored by the Humanitarian Travel Club, Hyde took part in assisting with medical aid, tutoring students and helping deportees reintegrate into society. "That trip really spurred my interest. There are an increasing number of people being deported and sent back to their homes," Hyde said. "They are sent back after decades with no support. Housing and employment are a problem. And there is a huge cultural issue, a stigma, with being a deportee. No one in the community wants to help them."
That interest in helping people abroad earned Hyde a Fulbright scholarship. In September, she will move to Jamaica for a year to conduct research on alternative methods of integration for deportees. At the end of the year after her study is completed, she will earn a Master of Science in public health or international relations from the University of West Indies, which will advise and oversee her project.
Sponsored by the U.S. Department of State, the Fulbright program is the largest United States international exchange program offering opportunities for students, scholars, and professionals to undertake international graduate study, advanced research, university teaching, and teaching in elementary and secondary schools worldwide. There were approximately 6,000 grants awarded in 2008 to U.S. students, teachers, professionals, and scholars to study, teach, lecture and conduct research in more than 155 countries and to their foreign counterparts to engage in similar academic activities in the U.S.
The 22-year-old Southbury resident learned about the Fulbright last year from WCSU Associate Professor of Political Science Dr. Chris Kukk, who suggested to students in his International Institutions course that they apply for the scholarship. Hyde has a Bachelor of Science in anthropology with a minor in international studies. As an undergraduate, she received an award for Academic Excellence in Interdisciplinary Social Sciences and an Associate Honors Degree.
"The classes that Ashley took – from her initial major in biology to core courses in anthropology and courses in international relations – gave her a very well-rounded approach to this issue," Kukk said. "She was given that opportunity at WestConn. Through her academic background here, she was able to develop a research project that was likely one of the best proposals Fulbright received."
As part of her research, Hyde will speak with deportees about their experiences, why they were deported and the problems they encountered. By collecting this information, she hopes not only to help them secure housing and employment, but hopes to open doors to the community and garner the support the deportees need to succeed in their native land.
"She will take full advantage of this opportunity academically, professionally and personally," said Kukk, who has no doubt Hyde will effect positive change for the people she reaches out to. "Ashley is very culturally sensitive and that will help her to find options that will fit their cultural way of living. She's the type of person who, when obstacles are put in her path, she figures a way around them immediately."
Hyde is the second WestConn graduate to receive a Fulbright; 2009 graduate Stephen Price was awarded a Fulbright last year to study music in France.

Bank of America:

"Bank of America cost me hundreds of dollars in bogus fees plus the hassle of trying to straighten out their mistakes and then my time to change my bank accounts to a different bank. After I left them, they still rip me off for $3 each time I need to use one of their ATMs."
"Bank of America -what do you mean my ex can still charge my credit card?! You won't permanently close my account either?! 16.99% is NOT the lowest you can go on a credit card!"
"Between now owning Countrywide and shafting its credit card users, it's a no-brainer."
"For sheer wickedness in how it views its customers (or should I say serfs)"
"Bank of America. I am sick of being @$$ raped by their non-boa ATM fees. Sometimes, I go to areas (in the US) that have NO boas and I still get punished. I am sick of all their hidden fees. (NEVER get a savings account there.) Also, arbitrary rate increases? Please."
Toys R' Us:
"Bad prices and terrible returns policy, oh and their super rundown stores."

It can be something like this
>Manabu, father and mother.
>Mother pass away.
>Father remarry with Mayami mother.
>Father pass away.
>Mayami's mother remarry.
>Wild Mayami appears!
>Some problems and Manabu start living with his grampa.
But all sadness left on Manabu and Mayami will be healed with Reina's love...and fists .
It would be nice to have a Hijiri chapter, or maybe another nanami chapter but this time centred on Reina and Manabu (i think she doesn't know they are a couple).

Joker chapter 10 has been released by Vexed...
'Dem Manabu, hugged by Reina twice this chapter. Doesn't she realize that she hugs him in front of all those audiences? Well, their relationship is already known to entire school anyway
Even though I can see those two random guy will win, the last question joke on this chapter is just..... weird. But it still made me laugh XD

Read chapter 36 online version and wow I didn't expect Maya and Manabu's family to be -that- rich. I mean I assumed they were well off when they talked about main family and stuff but wow.
Also looks like Manabu isn't the only one that has a thing for their grandfather. We also get another hint about the family situation/problem that was talked about back in earlier chapters.

Oooh, so Mayami also has grandfather complex
I thought she didn't like gramps when Reina told Manabu will be looked like gramps when he's older. It even makes me curious about Tanaka family past. Was it also because of gramps Manami started to change her behavior to Manabu after she was hard on him thanks to their mother influence...
But I also kinda want Hijiri & Shiratori-focused chapter soon. Shiratori's problem with Manabu has cleared after all :3

......er ya PBS Newshour level analysis aside....
anyone read the latest chapter (feels like it's been a while). Reina was funny trying to do the makeup deal and Mayami was of course HILARIOUS in her deadly razor sharp frankness about ladies and makeup!
Course the best thing was ol' Grandpa's line at the end about women
(I wish I had a G'pa like that, so cool)

Grandpa is awesome, but my question was really on why Mayami was that freaked out by the Granpa's visit. I mean she even change her hair and act extra innocent in front of him and weren't willing to tell Reina what's going on.
On the other hand, I wonder the Misaki that they refers to is Mayami and Manabu's mother and exactly what the hell was going on in the family...

Until these last two chapters, I had forgotten two things:
1) Reina was the head of a gang
2) Said gang didn't know about Tanaka
They've been gone so long, and she's so open with Hajiri and Shiratori etc that I forgot it was supposed to be a secret. For a moment I thought I had started to read Onidere or something.

Just read two parts of the student council 'arc'.
I thought he'll be the strict/psycho/rule-obsessed seitou kaichou type with that evil eyes, turn out he's just a pervert xD One of his harem is the psycho one xD Manabu just got himself a real enemy
Gotta love Shiratori & Hijiri *short* moment, on Manabu & Shiratori bromance <3

Kibayashi's back story. I thought it will tell us the promise he made with Mayami. The childhood and his father back story feels too long but I kinda like the last page with him and his nanny.
And when we will get Shiratori x Hijiri chapter D:

Wow, seriously I think this is the first time I read a love comedy manga with lot of 4th wall breaking gags but still have serious plot/back story
Though I wonder why Kuroki, if she really Manabu's mother(Misaki)'s sprit, feels at ease around Manabu while from what we know from Manabu, his mother hates him.
Btw, that Reina's going all dere on the beginning of this chapter. HNNNGH x3

The 2014 Walkable Bikeable Delaware Summit is set for May 1 in Dover.
The 2014 Walkable Bikeable Delaware Summit is set for May 1 in Dover.
The summit will bring together Robert Burchfield, the city traffic engineer for the Portland Bureau of Transportation; Tracy Winfree, the director of public works for the City of Boulder, Colorado; Delaware elected officials, engineers, planners, cyclists, public health professionals and greenway and trail advocates. Portland and Boulder are two of only four "platinum"-ranked "bicycle-friendly" communities in the United States. Burchfield and Winfree will explain the steps their communities took to make cycling a mainstream and family-friendly part of the transportation systems of Portland and Boulder.
At last year's Walkable Bikeable Delaware Summit, DelDOT Secretary Shailen Bhatt and DNREC Secretary Collin O'Mara announced that Delaware had been ranked as the fifth most bicycle-friendly state in America (and the most bicycle-friendly state east of the Mississippi River).

If you're lucky enough to be in New York City tonight, make sure to look up at the Empire State Building, which will be showing off the true capabilities of its next-generation LED lighting system in its first-ever light show.
The illustrious event will kick off at 9pm ET, and will be accompanied by a performance by Alicia Keys, who is scheduled to perform a single from her new album Girl on Fire, as well as her hit track "Empire State of Mind," both of which will play in sync with the ESB lights. Keys's performance will air live on a number of Clear Channel radio stations, including Z100, 103.5 KTU, Power105, and 106.7 Lite FM.
The Empire State Building, or ESB, first announced its new lighting system this past May. The "state-of-the-art dynamic lighting system" was built specifically for the ESB by Philips Color Kinetics (PCK). Here's what the lights look like up close:
While the original ESB lighting system was able to reproduce only about 10 separate colors, the PCK system ups that number to a staggering 16 million colors. The original lighting system also required workers to change each of the 400 fixtures, which took hours to do. Now, the ESB lighting crew can automate lighting designs, including ripple, cross-fade, particle, and burst effects, according to Philips. The more precise positioning system also keeps the lights focused on the ESB, rather than shining onto neighboring buildings.
The ESB crew first displayed the new PCK lighting system on November 6, Election Day, by shining different colors – red or blue – to signal election results. Election data from CNN was also displayed in a giant LED "meter" on the ESB's spire.
According to a spokeswoman from the ESB, tonight's light show "will only be able to be viewed by those with a vantage point of ESB in NYC and the surrounding areas." However, those of us who miss the show will be able to watch a video of the performance Tuesday on iHeartradio.com.

Rory McIlroy has done a Masters u-turn and opted to play the week before Augusta after all – with a charity trip to Haiti put on the long finger.
The two time Major winner entered the Texas Open with half an hour to spare on Friday night after just making the cut with a shot to spare in Houston.
McIlroy and coach Michael Bannon made the decision to play the week before the Masters after the 23-year-old scraped into the weekend action at Redstone where he finished well down the field.
Last year McIlroy opted not to play for three weeks before Augusta but a succession of missed cuts and poor form has forced his change of plan.
Recently topped from his world number one spot by Tiger Woods, McIlroy has postponed a trip to Haiti on behalf of Unicef.
Before Saturday's third round in Houston, McIlroy had only played 10 competitive rounds in a difficult start to 2013, and this is the first cut he has made.
McIlroy will now use the weekend at Houston and the tournament at Texas to prepare for the Masters.
"As I said, no one likes missing cuts and especially when it's my last one before the Masters," he said.
"It's nice to have some more rounds to look forward to in Texas, do some work on the range and hopefully improve on the course.
"I need to get more confidence in what I'm doing and to trust my swing.
"It's more of a mental thing than a mechanical thing at this point. But I'm hitting it well and feel that everything is nearly there."
Long Shot Takes Grand National
DANISH born trainer Dot Love shocked a big Fairyhouse crowd when Liberty Counsel won the Ladbrokes Irish Grand National on Monday at a whopping 50-1, with jockey Ben Dalton on board.
Liberty Counsel held off Away We Go to record a famous victory for the little known trainer and jockey.
Home Farm (10-1) and Sweeney Tunes (12-1) finished third and fourth respectively.
Dalton said, "The going was a big help to her. I thought if she was fifth or sixth it would have been a great run, but she's improving all the time.
"I knew she'd stay right to the line. She winged the last and kept finding more."
Denmark-born Love became the first woman to train the Irish Grand National winner since Jenny Pitman, who struck with Mudahim in 1997.
Love said, "I'm over the moon. She deserved it. The ground didn't suit at Cheltenham, but she really tried there. She's a super mare and a very good jumper.
"Ben gave her a super ride. With a low weight and very good ground we were confident. I would have been happy if she had been fourth."
Jock Left Paralyzed by Fall
DOCTORS have confirmed that Irish jockey JT McNamara has been left paralyzed after his fall at the Cheltenham Festival last month.
A statement issued on behalf of the McNamara family read, "JT McNamara remains in the Frenchay Hospital, Bristol.
"Whilst he suffered a serious neck injury resulting in paralysis, he has made progress in the last week and is in a very positive frame of mind.
"He is greatly appreciative of the many messages, cards and letters received and also wishes to thank the Frenchay Hospital who are looking after him so well."
A fund to help McNamara cope with his injuries received a major boost on Monday when Ryanair boss Michael O'Leary donated $300,000 after one of his horses won the bumper on the Irish Grand National card at Fairyhouse.

I have been playing with a patch to the 2.6.37-rc kernel that speeds up compute and memory intensive applications. Its call the Transparent Hugepage Support patch written by Andrea Arcangeli. Basically it works by reducing the number of TLB entries a large application needs. It also increases the effective size of memory that the TLB cache can cover. This results in a fewer TLB cache misses which require TLB look ups to service.
A more technical description can be found here
and in the patch's kernel documentation here
The only benchmark I have had time to do right now is a build of xulrunner. I observed a speed up of 1.4% (about 23 seconds on a 27 minute compile). Andrea Arcangeli has a patch to gcc to make gcc faster still but I haven't tried that yet.
I can say Firefox and Gnome in general felt a bit more lively but I don't have any benchmarks to back it up.
It is supposed to really speed up databases and virtual clients a lot.
Sadly I don't have enough disk space to run the Phoronix Benchmark.

Press Release:
What executives seek most on the internet and in print material are tips and guidelines on how to motivate employees. Although they realize that employee motivation is the most complex subject, they unreasonably expect newly hired managers and supervisors to accomplish this as soon as hired, which proves to be quite a dilemma. These new hires (mid-managers) themselves need guidance and assistance from upper management.
December 31 2003--Business owners and general managers know that
without a motivated team they lose business and customers. They
also witness a lowering of performance, quality and service levels,
combined with an increase in tangible and intangible costs which
could have been avoided: costs associated with accidents due to
negligence, equipment repair and replacement, lawsuits from customers
and other entities, labour disputes, higher staffing levels, supervisory
and employee turnover with all the costs this entails, such as retraining,
additional expenses to correct the company's image, retain customers
and attract new ones by means of advertising, coupons, rebates and
refunds, and a whole host of costs which should never have arisen.

MINNEAPOLIS - Senior Kelly Terry (Whitby, Ont.) recorded a hat trick to lead the No. 1 Minnesota women's hockey team to a 5-1 win over Boston University in the quarterfinal round of the 2014 National Collegiate Women's Ice Hockey Championship in front of 2,606 fans at Ridder Arena Saturday evening.
In a rematch of the 2013 NCAA championship game, the Gophers broke a 1-1 tie in the second period with four unanswered goals to improve to 7-2 all-time in the NCAA quarterfinal round and secure Minnesota's 10th all-time NCAA Women's Frozen Four appearance.
Along with Terry's third career hat trick as a Gopher, the senior recorded an assist for a four-point game. Minnesota (37-1-1) also received three points from junior Rachel Ramsey (Chanhassen, Minn.) on a goal and two assists, and sophomore Milica McMillen (St. Paul, Minn.) registered two assists.
Boston University (24-13-1) was led by senior goaltender Kerrin Sperry, who made 41 saves in the loss. Sarah Lefort scored the Terriers' lone goal.
Sophomore Amanda Leveille (Kingston, Ont.) made 28 saves for the Golden Gophers as Minnesota outshot the BU, 46-29.
The teams skated to a 1-1 tie after the first period before Minnesota took a 2-1 lead in the second. The Gophers added three goals in the final 20 minutes to seal the win.
Minnesota got on the board first when Terry scored her 19th goal of the season at 12:56 of the first period. The Whitby, Ontario, native skated the puck up the right side of the ice and around the BU net, firing a shot from the left side through traffic that found its way past Sperry. McMillen picked up an assist on the play. However, BU responded just 21 seconds later with a goal from Lefort, and the teams took a 1-1 tie into the first intermission.
Ramsey scored the game-winner and gave the Gophers a 2-1 lead when she scooped up a rebound in the slot and fired a high shot past Sperry on a power play at 8:01 of the second period. Terry and McMillen assisted on the five-on-three power-play goal.
The Gophers added three third-period goals, including back-to-back tallies by Terry at 2:46 and 7:56 of the final frame. Sophomore Maryanne Menefee (Lansing, Mich.) added the Gophers' fifth goal of the game to seal the 5-1 win with 7:09 remaining.
Both penalty kill units executed as Minnesota held the Terriers scoreless on four power-play opportunities while going one-for-five with the man advantage.
Minnesota will face the winner of the quarterfinal between No. 4 seed Wisconsin (27-7-2) and Harvard (23-6-4) in the NCAA semifinals next weekend.
In other NCAA quarterfinal action, Mercyhurst (24-8-4) knocked off No. 2 seed Cornell (24-6-4) by a score of 3-2 to advance to the NCAA Frozen Four for the second-straight season, and No. 3 seed Clarkson (29-5-5) defeated Boston College (27-7-3), 3-1. The Wisconsin-Harvard quarterfinal game is set for 7 p.m. CT Saturday.
The 2014 NCAA Women's Frozen Four is March 21-23 in Hamden, Conn., hosted by Quinnipiac University. The two semifinal games are set for 4 p.m. CT and 7 p.m. CT on Friday, March 21, with the championship game at 2 p.m. CT on Sunday, March 23.

This is a good time of the year for some column housekeeping — some dusting and mopping. And, man, do I have some keepin' to do. First, the dusting.
This is a good time of the year for some column housekeeping — some dusting and mopping. And, man, do I have some keepin' to do. First, the dusting.
My Nov. 8 column touched on the failure of most school districts to carry insurance that would cover treatment and rehabilitation for catastrophic injuries — spinal cord and brain injuries — to high school athletes.
The column spotlights the situation of Myron Wright, a Thibodaux High School player who is a quadriplegic due to injuries suffered in a 2002 football game. Lafourche Parish schools had no coverage in place to help Myron. Several readers have asked how they can contribute to Myron. So here is the address of Myron's foundation: Myron Wright Foundation, 1321 Midland Drive, Thibodaux, LA 70301.
A couple readers chided me by reminding me that a thorough writer would have included that information in the column. In my defense, for what it is worth, I write to give information to readers. I don't think my editor would approve of me using this privilege to troll for solicitations. But point taken, and in the future I will try to include it.
Well, the dusting is done. On to the mopping, and, as you will see, I am the moppee. And the moppers use the hard mop handles, not the soft mopheads.
My Nov. 15 column mentions in passing that I felt Mitt Romney was a better candidate for the presidency than Barack Obama but that I voted for President Obama and gave my reasons for doing so. You would have thought I compared Jesus to Hitler or Hitler to Jesus. Did I mention that I wrote that in passing? Several readers suggested that my mind must have been in passing. Several others suggested that I had already passed away or should. And these were reactions from my friends. What strangers said is unprintable in a community newspaper. When I lamely tried to explain that I felt Romney has more executive experience and that the presidency is the executive branch — well, you know that stuff about when you are in a hole, quit digging.
In the '60s, during my idealistic middle-age, I was the first black person on the staff of a white congressman, and I am still in touch with some of the congressman's relatives, Steve and his wife, Rosemarie. I saw that I had an email from Steve but the screen was glowing red, so I waited a few minutes for it to cool. When I opened Steve's email, it read: "Do not tell me, with a straight face, that you think Romney was a better candidate, Charles? Because I will come down there right now and kick your butt." I told Steve that graciousness in winning goes a long way. Being from an old school political family that understands collegiality, he said, "Way to go."
However, my Luca Brasi is another story. My Luca Brasi is really Jay Milano. Other than my grandmother, Jay may be the only person on earth that would see to it that no need I could have would go unmet.
Nearly three decades ago, triple witching caused me to be homeless in the middle of winter. Jay and the Shaughnessy Family saw to it that I had money, food, warmth, clothing, rum, a place to work and the pro bono legal battle to get me back on my feet — I hid my plight from my family. You would recognize Jay from his appearances on "60 Minutes" as the lawyer representing many victims of the Catholic Church's molestation scandals. Jay, his wife, Debi, and I have sailed many of the world's oceans, and they have entrusted to my care their third son, Michael, who is working in New Orleans for two years.
After reading the column, my Luca — I mean Jay — called me screaming, "How could you ever say that you think that lying ****** son of brotherhood was better?" "Have you lost your ****** mind?" "Forget that you know my ****** number." "Didn't you hear that ***** race-baiting hypocrite?" "Do not call me for at least 3 ***** years." "Do not pollute my son's mind." I tried to explain collegiality to Jay, but he told me it belonged just below my back pockets. No worries. Jay wants to sail next year, and according to him, I am the only person he trusts to sail a 40-foot sailboat across oceans. Is the moral to this that it's good to be indispensable or that fun trumps politics?
Boy, I knew there were sore losers. Now I know there are sore winners, too.
Charles Mosley, a former head
of the Lafourche NAACP,
lives in Thibodaux.

Home > Wellness Resources > Health Library > Anatomical Incontinence in Women
Anatomical incontinence is the involuntary release of urine caused by structural problems of the
urinary tract that affect the urine flow. This type of incontinence may be present
from birth (congenital).
The main symptom is an almost continual
release of urine.
The incontinence is caused by structural problems in the
urinary tract that allow urine to leak past the muscle (sphincter) that keeps urine in the
bladder. These problems include:
Treatment aims to correct the
structural problem that is causing the release of urine.

Chefs strip down for charity
When a Louisville family with long ties to the restaurant community faced catastrophic medical expenses, a dozen local chefs took it all off, or most of it anyway, posing for a tongue-in-cheek wall calendar, a PG-13-rated 12-pager in which they display just about everything but artfully concealed naughty bits.
The resulting full-color calendar, "Louisville Chefs' Best Kept Secrets," is "very tasteful but very naughty." It seeks to raise money for Christina Bayens, 26, who has had cystic fibrosis since birth. Bayens received a double-lung transplant in St. Louis last summer, a costly venture that her parents, Mark and Linda Bayens, said "was too much for us to bear alone."
Christina is doing well, but bills still have to be paid. Whether you live in Louisville or just about anywhere, we thought you might want to lend a hand ... and enjoy this gently bawdy calendar for "foodies" throughout 2007. It's on sale at many Louisville-area restaurants, and we're offering it online for $20 (plus $2 postage) through my LouisvilleHotBytes Website. Click for details or to get your calendar while they last:

Hi everybody,
just want to clear this up before my first game tomorrow.
6: could a minifig with access to Heroic Feats declare the use of one to generate another attack? And being a Heroic attack, would it automatically hit if I succeeded on the roll off against my opponent?
7: could a minifig with a cache of SuperNatural dice spend one to make an additional attack with that die as the Skill die?

This wasn't the way the senior-heavy group of the Hood River Valley soccer team wanted their last home game to end. Lucky for them, their home careers probably did not end with a 1-0 loss to Hermiston Thursday night.
Despite the loss, the Eagles are still likely to have a home game in the state play-in round Nov. 5.
The Eagles had a chance to lock up the Columbia River Conference championship with a win or a draw against Hermiston Thursday night and although HRV controlled the course of play, it was the Bulldogs who got the win.
Neither team could find much of an advantage in the first half, with both defenses sniffing out any most attacks before they even developed.
The Eagles had a few chances early in the second half but could not capitalize.
The Bulldogs were outshot by HRV by a 13-6 margin in the game, but managed to get a big break on one of their few chances.
In the 49th minute Iris Ruelas put a cross shot through the box which HRV keeper Meagan Winans jumped up to grab. The ball ticked off her outstretched fingertips and landed at the feet of Arielle Handforth, who was open next to the far post and put it in.
The Eagles threatened several more times, with Hermiston goalkeeper Hope Butler making a point-blank stop on a shot by Roxana Gomez in the 53rd minute to preserve the tie.
The Eagles picked up the pressure in the final moments, with several passes just missing and a few shots going just wide, but they could not find the net.
"We just needed five more minutes to get that goal," HRV coach Kevin Haspela said.
The Eagles could still win the league championship, but would need help from Pendleton to do it. An HRV win over TDW, coupled with a Hermiston loss or draw would give the Eagles the title while an HRV loss would give it to Hermiston under any circumstances, as the Bulldogs are the higher-ranked team.
The game was the final regular-season home match for HRV seniors Sarah Clark, Kirra Paulus, Kayla Schurton, Emily Thompson, Katie White, Skye Windsor, Roxana Gomez, Chloe Rocha, Jessica Sedano, Meredith Virk, Megan Winans and Hannah Young.
"They've jelled as a unit from the start," Haspela said. "They didn't take long to come together, and without direction from me they have stepped up and taken on leadership roles."
He also gave them significant credit for helping the team win five straight games before the loss to Hermiston Thursday after they dropped their first six to start the season.
"A lot of teams would have imploded," he said. "This team didn't."
The Eagles close out their regular season at The Dalles Tuesday and then should host a state play-in game next Saturday against a to-be-determined opponent.
Eagle boys draw at Hermiston: In a tight matchup atainst the league's other top team, the varsity boys went on the road against the Bulldogs Thursday evening. Goals came from Sean Lund and Salvador Sosa in the 2-2 math. The draw means HRV?and Hermiston have the same record and are tied for frist place in the conference with just one game left in the regular season.
Winning the conference title is a big goal this season, says Coach Jaime Rivera, so the team's final game against The Dalles (at HRVHS, 6 p.m.,?Nov. 1) will be a must win.
Hawks net playoff win: Horizon Christian School extended its soccer season another week Tuesday, when the Hawks bested Life Christian 3-0 in a United League home playoff match.
Gabe Holste scored two Horizon goals and assisted on the third - lifting a crossing pass which Mason Bloomster headed into the net. The victory puts Horizon (5-6-1) into the league's consolation final 4 p.m. Tuesday at home against Open Door.
In Tuesday's match, Bryce Smith was stellar on the back line along with Austin Requa and Grant Lynn. Requa saved what looked to be a game-tying goal in the first half, when he headed the shot attempt away from the goalmouth. The defense helped keeper Mitch Engel earn the shutout.
