CORAL SPRINGS, FL--(Marketwired - Jan 7, 2014) - Nutra Pharma Corp. (OTCQB: NPHC), a biotechnology company that is developing treatments for Adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN), HIV and Multiple Sclerosis (MS), is announcing that they have begun shipping the initial product orders to MyNyloxin, a new company that has the exclusive rights to market and distribute Nutra Pharma's over-the-counter (OTC) pain reliever, Nyloxin®, in the Network Marketing channel. Nutra Pharma previously announced the launch of the MyNyloxin website that allows for product sales and information as well as allowing distributors to sign up and view the Network Marketing opportunity. Nutra Pharma will continue to market the products through their retail and Direct Response distributors.
"Our Independent Entrepreneurs are excited to begin distributing Nyloxin and sharing this opportunity," stated Dalton Johnson, CEO of MyNyloxin.com. "MyNyloxin.com is comprised of a group of professional marketers whom have come together on a mission to spread awareness of Nyloxin," he continued. "By providing access to a superior pain relief product that customers need and can trust and by providing an innovative network marketing program which offers a fair and balanced compensation plan for both the average and ambitious MyNyloxin Independent Entrepreneur (MIE), we believe that we will change lives for the better," he concluded.
In August 2013, Nutra Pharma announced the formation of MyNyloxin.com, a new Multi-Level Marketing company that would act as the exclusive Nyloxin® Distributor in the Network Marketing channel. The pre-launch began in late December with the initial orders shipping today. The launch is continuing and includes webinars, internet, radio and television advertising.
"We're very happy with the relationship that we've created with MyNyloxin," commented Rik J Deitsch, CEO of Nutra Pharma. "Network Marketing allows for the rapid distribution of products directly to the end-user and can rapidly provide product sales as well as validity in the form of product user testimonials. We've already received very favorable feedback from the MyNyloxin Distributors and expect significant growth as the launch continues," he concluded.
Nyloxin® is an over-the-counter (OTC) pain reliever clinically proven to treat moderate to severe (Stage 2) chronic pain. Nyloxin® is currently available in the United States as an oral spray for treating back pain, neck aches, headaches, joint pain, migraines, and neuralgia, and as a topical gel for treating joint pain, neck pain, arthritis pain, and pain from repetitive stress. In addition to its everyday strength formulation, Nyloxin® is also offered in an extra strength formula for more advanced, Stage 3, chronic pain. The Company recently announced the beginning of marketing efforts by New Vitality for the Direct Response and retail marketing of Nyloxin®. New Vitality's first Nyloxin® television commercials are scheduled to begin shortly.

Looks like Whisenhunt is working on some new stuff.....
http://news.steelers.com/article/67096/LATROBE, Pa. In the playoff win in Cincinnati, he had Antwaan Randle El throw back to Ben Roethlisberger who then found Cedrick Wilson for a touchdown. In Super Bowl XL, he had Randle El throw to Hines Ward for a touchdown.
On Saturday at St. Vincent College, Ken Whisenhunt mixed it up even more. Now he's beginning to use defensive players to score touchdowns.
The Steelers' first week of training camp came to a rousing conclusion in front of close to 20,000 fans with the second installment of goal-line, a live tackling drill where the offense gets four chances to score a touchdown from the 5-yard line.
The first-team defense again kept the first-team offense out of the end zone, and when the second-team offense lined up over the ball for its chance, Brett Keisel moved from defensive end to tight end and James Harrison moved from outside linebacker to fullback.
And so when Charlie Batch threw a play-action pass to Harrison for a touchdown on second-and-goal from the 5-yard line, that meant Keisel and Harrison were two players smack in the middle of trash-talk heaven they had been a part of the defense that kept the offense out of the end zone, and they were part of the offense that scored a touchdown.
"The defensive guys didn't want us talking trash to them after James scored, but we had to, a little bit," said Keisel. "It was fun."

Sometimes I'd like to carry the phone in my pocket so I thought the Commuter would slide easily in and out of my pocket, but sometimes I'd like to put the commuter in a pouch and carry it on my belt. Any recommendations?

Photos: Harvard researchers' nano-garden
A new study details the process by which minerals can be made to assemble themselves into controlled yet complex structures.
The creation of Harvard researchers, the garden demonstrates how simple environmental changes can be used to precisely control the construction of tiny objects.
Researchers at Harvard took cues from nature to grow their nano-garden.
Construction was done at a scale that is a fraction of the width of a human hair.
Scientists were able to create impressively complex structures.
Scientists are putting their new techniques to aesthetically pleasing purposes to showcase their work.
The ultimate goal is to come up with industrial applications for the techniques.
Researchers envision a new generation of tiny medical sensors and microelectronics or materials with novel properties.

As parents, our days are consumed with infinite demands and endless
responsibilities, all of which can leave your body and mind exhausted and
your thoughts directed toward a well-deserved vacation. Despite the
craziness of the day-to-day hustle and bustle, take a moment to think, 'what
was the last thing I said to my child before bed tonight'?
I hope that as all kids doze into dreamland, they receive a hug and
kiss to last them through the night. I am satisfied knowing that my children
have these needs met each night, followed by an "I love you", but as I read
somewhere when my children were very young, I also am sure to say, "I am
proud of you".
Some sleepy nights when my inevitable, "Cinderella-time" looms, (and
I don't mean going to a ball), these simple phrases may be all I say. Other
nights, I try to define my adoration, "I love you when you draw me pictures", "I
love when you are honest and when you try hard at tying your shoes". "I am
proud of you for being such a good friend". "I am so proud of how well you
write your name, or play baseball, or how well you ate your dinner". It really
doesn't matter what you are proud of or why you love your child; we know the
reasons are endless, but it is the act of saying it that supports your feelings.
"Wait", you might say. Did me waking before dawn to make lunches,
pack backpacks, lay out clothes, prepare breakfast, check homework, sign
permission slips, fold laundry (and if lucky, start a load before work so the
ballet outfit or t-ball uniform is clean for after school practice), not show
that I care?
I actually applaud the parent whose children are secure enough in
their little lives, to come to expect these actions because I believe all of
these everyday, "small acts of kindness" in the parent's handbook do get
noticed and are appreciated, (when they are not being taken for granted).
As a teacher, I see the child who is visibly worried that their parent will not
remember to send in that healthy snack, permission slip or have the costume
that they need. It saddens me to see this additional stress at such a young
But here's good news is; this selfishness is very age-appropriate.
Even the most confident, intelligent and sociable child is also sensitive and
impressionable and eager to please. The reality is that our kids have long,
very active days and hearing that they are appreciated at the end of the
day sends them off to their sweet dreams with the acceptance and love that
let's face it, we all crave. Kids are bound to mimic the behavior they see; if
you show love and appreciation, that is what they will learn to convey to
As class sizes are bound to increase, family-time is limited and
bullying behavior continues, you can make sure that your child feels secure, accepted, and
appreciated as their day ends and they mentally prepare for tomorrow.
Hopefully by you modeling open-communication, you will not only receive the
recognition that we all crave, but you might also be lucky enough to sample
the good parts of your child's day and maybe more importantly, what may
have gone wrong.

On a hot summer day in the early 1940s in a small Iowa town, a bored teenager visited the local library. There, the teen found several books by Victor Hugo stacked inconspicuously on a lower shelf. Those books kindled a 60-year love affair with all things French and indirectly provided the impetus for a $100,000 gift to UNF.
That Iowa teenager was Harriet LeMaster, who recently established the Harriet LeMaster French Scholarship Endowment, the first French language endowment in the University's history. The scholarship, which includes study abroad funding, is for students with a declared interest in French studies, students majoring in French studies or pursuing any other French degree. "We could not be more pleased with Harriet's incredibly generous gift," said Dr. Jorge Febles, chair of the Department of World Languages. "It comes at such a perfect time, just when we have won approval of the new B.A. in the French Studies program." LeMaster, 82, recalls that summer day in Atlantic, Iowa, and how, after reading Hugo's novels, she developed a lifelong appreciation for the French culture, an appreciation that ultimately led her to audit French classes at UNF over a period of 15 years. "Grammar, literature, history, art - whatever came along I was there," LeMaster said. "It was so much fun. I mostly had Dr. [Shira] Schwam-Baird. She is very good, very knowledgeable. She knows her stuff." Schwam-Baird remembers LeMaster as a good student who always did her homework and took part in class discussions and activities. "With this gift, Harriet is showing us that she believes in this program, that she wants it to grow and enrich the lives of more students," she said. "I am enormously grateful to her." Prior to making the gift for the scholarships, LeMaster funded study abroad trips to Strasbourg, France, for UNF students in Schwam-Baird's classes. "I can't speak highly enough of those two ladies," LeMaster said, referring to Schwam-Baird and Ann Crook, assistant vice president for development in the Office of Institutional Advancement. LeMaster worked with Schwam-Baird and Crook on the study abroad trips. "They were very kind and kept me posted about the kids and how they were doing. That personal touch encouraged me to give the larger sum." LeMaster calls the University "just a favorite place of mine." Not unlike those long-ago summer days in Iowa, one campus building is perhaps her most favorite place. "My idea of heaven is to have a permanent UNF Library card."

IJiit it seems they do. Take tlic famous humorist, Harry Her.shncld, for iiislauce. U|> at his olUce the other <lay. Morslilicld ptjiircd forth to IIS the bitterness of his heart. As will be recalled hy tlie readers of this colinnn, some time ai!;o we noted the fact that Her-shficld lia.'i written a book—The Sti- per-City, which i.s .soon to be released. That in itself i.'i nothiiiK to pine over, but here is the rub. Uershfield knows that his reputation i.s that nf a humorist, and he is terribly concerned th;it his book will not he judged, as if, let us say, it was written by some serious writer with a few college degrees annexed to his nainc. And yet "The Super-City", is a seri¬ ous study. U represents, one might say, the summation of the serious side,of this Kreat humorist. It hoils down his wclt- an.schauiig. It will have its humorous parts, hut they arc part of the natural unfolding of the story. It is not, how¬ ever, a deliberate attempt to make you lau^h or thrill you, though it may do both of those things. Its jiriniary purpose is to make you thiuk. A Joke Is Not a Joke There is no little basis in Hershfield's apprehensions. For some reason or other, the human being iJocs not seem able to take the humorist seriously. It was said of the late Chaunccy De- l>ew that he could have been president of the United States, if It had not been for his irrepressible likiiiR for telling a good story. I am old enough to believe that sonie- thing very similar might he said u{ WiU Roarers. We laughed, when .someone at the Democratic. National Convention nominated Will for President. A huge joke, we thought. And yet, I <lare say, take a group of the most thoughtful .'Vmcricans iu a room together, and they will. ay;rce that few have "HO keen a perception of political realities as Rogers. If we only saw deep enough, wc would realize that the humorist really sees deep¬ est of all—certainly, he is the most truth- fulof all. Life is overlaid with repres¬ sions, inhibitions and thou-shalt-nots. The humoi'ist is the only one we permit to tell .the.truth. If you want to mv. tiow. close is this identity to lium'or, next time you sec Mr. X vvhoin you so thoroughly dislike, just tell him vour real opinion of him. And let Mr. V, who knows Mr. X, too, be in, the audience. .And see how Mr. Y will break,his rib laughing. _ And yet we go along thinkinji that ,a jtilce is just a joke! The Raakobs and Michclson The Kaskohs appear to have an afiiiiitv for the Semitic. Onu of Raslcob's sons is. the press reports, to niarry a Jewess. The younger Raskob is only following the exam}ile of the elder Kaskoh, wlio recently "married" a noted Jewish iiews- pyi)erinan. Cliarles MichelBun, to the democratic party. And a very success- ful "marriage" that ha,-? been, as any praniiuent Repuhlican will tell you. Charles Michelson. you recall, is a brother of the famous physicist, Albert Michelson. Charlc.'i for years had been head of the Washington bureau of the New York World. Then Raskob, when he became a force in the Democratic party, began to take note of him. If only he could get Michelson as publicity chief of the Democratic party! Raskob consulted wi'th the other Demo¬ cratic chieftains. Yes, they admitted, Michelson would be a boon, but the World was payings him a high salary, and for a publicity job, he would undoubtedly ask a compensation much higher, ^ And, the Democratic chieftains pointed uut, the Democratic financial cliest is not over¬ filled. But Raskob with his millions wag not daunted by this. He told his associates that he wouhl stand responsible fur the salary. .And for some time now, Michel- soil has been working, and the Republi¬ cans have been worrying. For Michelson knows his news and knows how to make it so that newspapers have no alternative hut to print it. Worryinpr the Elephant And yet Michelson hiuLsclf, as a good ' publicity man. kecp.s in the background. You never know that he is doing it. He merely goes, let us say, with some well concealed story to one of the Democratic senators. The story is a clever attack, let us say, on the Republican tariff. ¦ "Senator So aud So, how about issuing this statement tci the press? How about incoriH)rating this in your speech in the Senate?" The next day it is done and the wires all ()ver the country arc soon carrying stories about, tlie G. O. P, and the de¬ pression and the like. The Republicans are frankly worried about Michelson. He is doing more than probably any other man in the country today to associate the idea of had times with the dominant party. A Happy Face Kyerylhiiig finally gets down to bed¬ rock, and the greater they are. the more apt are they to stress the simple elements. 'Ask any ordinarv i>ersoii for a descrip¬ tion of what qualities he would require in the ideal person, and the chances are that he will give you a long list starting with perseverance, iiitflHgetice, loyalty, etc., etc. .Albert Einstein, the greatest living thinker, was asked this question and his auitwer is as refreshing as it is profound. • "The most deliKhtful thing the world af¬ fords is a happy face." Apnarently a simple requirement, and vet a most rare sight. How many people do yon know who strain themselves, w<irry themselves sick, to grow,' so to (Continued on page 4) Leonard H.

NASHVILLE, TN — If you're old enough to remember the "Lost In Space" television series in the 1960s, then you remember the robot warning his best buddy, Will Robinson with shouts of "Danger! Danger!" The Florida Gators don't have a handy robot to shout warnings about the Vanderbilt Commodores but maybe the coaching staff will be shouting "Danger" when they wake the team Saturday morning.
Danger is the word of the day here in Nashville and that's because this is a paybacks are hell Saturday for the Vanderbilt Commodores, whom the Gators have beaten 15 straight years. If you ask Vandy, however, that losing streak got broken last year. Yes, the scoreboard read Florida 49, Vanderbilt 42 in overtime, but Vandy thinks the zebras not only screwed them out of a win but out of a bowl game. Ask them and they'll tell you they won the game and lost the score.
The Commodores don't just think they can play with the Florida Gators. They think they can beat them and that's even without Jay Cutler, who set a zillion or so passing records en route to a Star Wars contract with the Denver Broncos as the first quarterback taken in the NFL draft back in April.
No Cutler? No problem.
Jay Cutler ran pretty well but in his wildest and most imaginative dreams could he run as well as the guy that understudied him last year, this year's starter Chris Nickson. Nickson's got over 500 yards rushing, a better than 5-yard per carry average and he flings a pretty nice pass, too. All you have to do is ask soph sensation wide receiver Earl Bennett. He caught 77 balls from Cutler last year. Through eight games, he's got 54 this year and if he stays all four years at Vandy, it's doubtful there will be a single Southeastern Conference pass receiving record that he doesn't own.
Nickson's already engineered a win over Georgia in Athens and last week he simply carved up the Dookies to the tune of 250 passing yards (two scores) and 150 rushing yards (three more).
He is playing with a ton of confidence and there is nothing worse than facing a confident quarterback with fast, elusive feet that can launch the ball on a laser-like line for critical completions. To put this one in Al McGuire terminology, he is the snake and the task for the Gators Saturday is to cut the head off the snake. Cut off the head of the snake and you cut off the team that thinks it can beat you.
Vandy has a nice running back in Cassen Jackson-Garrison that becomes twice as dangerous with the threat of Nickson in the backfield. Defenses have to be so cognizant of Nickson as a run-pass threat that Jackson-Garrison becomes a very viable weapon because he's got power enough to pound between the tackles and just enough speed and wiggle to bust one every now and then. He's particularly dangerous on draw plays and he's good enough to make a safety commit when the ball is faked his way, leaving Bennett running free in the secondary.
From an offensive standpoint, this Vanderbilt team is far more dangerous for the Gators than the Georgia team that Florida held to 215 yards last week. Florida had the advantage last week of facing a freshman quarterback that is still trying to get his sea legs. Nickson is eight games into the season and he's playing like he's been starting and starring in big games all his life. Georgia didn't have a receiver of the caliber of Bennett and Jackson-Garrison is certainly every bit as good or better than any running back on the Georgia roster.
So the Commodores have weapons which they showcased last week and a couple of weeks before against Georgia. That Vandy could hang 45 on the Dookies isn't such a big deal. That they could run up and down the field on a pretty good Georgia defense is.
Florida better not come into this game thinking the Commodores are going to roll over or be the least bit fearful of that fierce front seven that has the Gators ranked in the top ten nationally in total defense. If the Gators show up over-confident, this could be a very dangerous game. The Gators have to make sure that Nickson can't beat them with either his legs or his arm. Do that and they put UF in position to win this game.
Conversely, Florida's offense gets to go against a defense that ranked number 95 nationally against the running game. After a six-game SEC gauntlet that included five teams ranked among the nation's top 31 teams defensively, including the very best, LSU, the Gators catch a break against a Vandy team that struggles to stop teams that have solid running games. The Gators may not look like West Virginia when they run the ball, but they're averaging 157 yards a game and the bulk of that yardage has been achieved without a healthy tailback.
Florida is going to run the football Saturday. You can expect to see a lot of motion from the guys in the slot — Andre Caldwell and Percy Harvin — and that should keep the field spread. That is going to make the middle the happening place to be for DeShawn Wynn, who may not be 100 percent but he is healthier than he's been in weeks.
Wynn also wants the football this week and he wants it a lot. If he doesn't get tired and if he doesn't get dinged up again — always a concern since he's not exactly the most durable guy out there — he can and will pound Vandy between the tackles and that's going to (a) open the wide game with Harvin and Caldwell on the sweeps and reverses and (b) make it possible for Chris Leak to throw the ball on those mid-range 14-17 yard slant routes to Dallas Baker and Jemalle Cornelius off of play action, the kind of passes that can turn into 30 and 40-yard gainers. Florida's most productive pass plays are off of play fakes so look for Baker and Cornelius to make some big plays in the passing game.
There is no question that the Gators can score on this Vandy defense. As long as they avoid silly turnovers and they can bring the penalty plague a bit more under control the Gators should be able to hang at least 30-35 points on the Commodores. If they put the ball on the floor or in the hands of the Vandy secondary and give the Commodores a short field to work with, then this game could blow up in Florida's face.
Some would call this a trap game or a setup game since Florida has so much at stake and Stevie Wonder and his Columbia Chickens coming in to Gainesville next week. That's Florida's paybacks are hell game but it's a game that Florida can't afford to even think about until Sunday morning. The Gators need to focus on winning against Vandy because that's the first and most necessary step on the road to Atlanta and the SEC championship game. Win Saturday and win next Saturday and it's Florida in the title game no matter what happens with Tennessee the rest of the way. A Florida win and a Tennessee loss to LSU Saturday and you get the same result.
The ideal situation for the Gators is to win Saturday in Nashville combined with a Tennessee loss in Knoxville. If that happened, the Gators would be in a party hearty mood when their plane touches down in Gainesville Saturday evening.
Since Florida can't count on Tennessee losing, however, the Gators have to understand that they have total control of their own destiny. They've already beaten the Vols so all they have to do is win two football games and they not only get to the SEC Championship Game but they keep alive hopes for a national title shot that got a tremendous boost Thursday night when West Virginia's nation's longest winning streak came to an end. Run the table for the next five weeks and it would take a criminal act to keep the Gators from being one of the teams playing in Arizona on January 8 for the national championship.
National titles and SEC titles are big deals, but the biggest deal is beating Vanderbilt. A national title is impossible if the Gators lose Saturday. An SEC title can't be achieved without help if Florida stumbles either this week or next week. Florida needs to win out so there's never a doubt.
It all starts Saturday at 12:30 EST against Vanderbilt. The guess here is that Florida puts on the hard hats and steel toed boots and takes care of business. The guess here is that Florida forces the Commodores to think run first and then sticks the dagger in the heart with the mid-range slants for big yards and touchdowns. Defensively, look for Florida give up an early score or two, then shut Vandy down the rest of the way. Let's say it's Florida by something like 31-10.

Phoronix: Intel Kernel Mode-Setting Overlay Support
While the Intel kernel mode-setting graphics driver entered the mainline Linux 2.6.29 kernel, and is beginning to become the default driver in various desktop Linux distributions, the KMS driver does not yet have a feature parity with the traditional DDX xf86-video-intel driver. However, announced on the DRI development list today is one more feature that has now been introduced into the kernel mode-setting driver and generic DRM mode-setting code...
No announcement yet.
Intel Kernel Mode-Setting Overlay Support
new posts
Intel Kernel Mode-Setting Overlay SupportTags: None
Yeah, the benefits of using "classic" video overlay hardware are usually (a) lower power consumption because you don't need to fire up the 3D engine, and (b) often hardware support for sync-to-vblank.
The drawbacks are (a) you are limited to the filtering implemented in the hardware (which may be very good, however), and (b) you can't feed the output into a compositor so your video does not follow any of the display effects.
Note that some GPUs use Xv for both overlay and textured video; I hadn't heard of a different API being used for overlay before.
Leave a comment:
I have no idea what bits an Intel chip actually has, but on ones with separate overlay and 3D circuits this would let you play video using less power consumption since it wouldn't need the 3D stuff.
Leave a comment:
I can't figure out why anyone would want to combine these two. What's wrong with textured video?

But let's summarize: Overlay is basically the older way of accelerating video, mostly done by TV-Cards or graphic cards without support for Xv or more recent Xvmc/VaPi/ and the other stuff by Nvidia and Ati.
It's supported by mplayer for example, just use the xover-video-output. However you should only do that if Xv is broken/not implemented with your driver/card. Also it's my experience that any file for which software-output(alias X11) is too slow also doesn't improve that much in xover.
Quite frankly I didn't even notice that xover was broken since the KMS-switch, but that's propably because Xv has been mostly working flawless ever since.

Last month, team VVC took a quick trip to Seattle. It basically went like this: Soy lattes were sipped. Pickle chips were consumed. Vegan treats were sought out. Locations were visited. It was business as usual.
One of my first stops: a mug of house Caffé Vita & the vegan chocolate cupcake at Cupcake Royale
What clearly, caught my attention. I must admit, with a sign like this, I was expecting more than one vegan option, but it was good, albeit crumbly.
Once I arrived in the U District, I stopped at Trabant for a soy latte.
Thanks, Rayray.
For brunch, I arrived early and revisited Plum. I had enjoyed the spicy mac & yeast, years ago, but overall, was left with a really greasy feeling in my stomach, and I'm not usually one to say such a thing.
The perplexingly plated Fresh Tofu Benedict – with tender, savoury seitan unlike anything I've had before (making me want to try it in pho), paired with a pomegranate mimosa.
I'm pleased that I tried this – and it was the most expensive item on the menu, but I would opt to try some of their fancy pancakes next time. I'm glad I dined solo and no one was there to witness the constant state of distress I experienced with each bite.
Dinner time, I met up with team VVC for hugs and cocktails at a seemingly mandatory stop on my past few Seattle visits: the Highline.
Sometimes I'm thrilled with my food, sometimes I'm near-terrified. This time, my long-awaited pickle chips were served indoors, remained crispy and warm for an impressive amount of time, and I was ranch-dipping and stoked. Yeah, they were salty and battered and dill-y and awesome.
The TLT. Classic, but nothing on D.C. Veg's new TLT-on-a-sub-roll creation.
We stayed in a budget hotel outside of the U-District, which meant we somehow found ourselves across the street at the Ram for some type of manic late night happy hour with $3 pineapple & whipped cream vodka cocktails.
Michele and I went with the upside-down pineapple drop, with Vanilla Stoli & Pinnacle Whipped Cream vodka; Janessa went with a microbrew
Breakfast time at Herkimore: Mighty-O doughnut & soy latte. Ah.
Naturally, we picked up some goodies at Sidecar.
Our sight-seeing including a visit to Pike Place Market and Cinnamon Works.
One day, I will actually take note of whose art this is at Bang Bang. Because I want it on my walls. All of them.
I did manage to grab a plate of their smokey mac & cheese for lunch, while my silly cohorts ate bagels or something. I was content!
Smokey Mac & Cheese with a side of toast, Bang Bang Cafe
We had a meeting at the Seattle Public Library for our VVC Tech Seminar in the fall.
Supplemental caffeination via an iced Americano with soymilk at Victrola Coffee
Spiked refreshment, courtesy of a jalapeño pomegranate margarita at Bimbos Cantina.
It may not have had that spice the name promised, but there was green hot sauce on the table – and a photo booth downstairs.
For dinner, we were joined by our friends Dawn and Anika at another Seattle vegan favorite, Teapot Vegetarian House. I hadn't been in years, and it was a great time.
Our table somehow fit not one, but two of these BoBo Platters
Our table also shared Beef & Broccoli, Vietnamese Crispy Fried Noodles – a unique dish I'd been craving since 2007, and a Ginger Soy Chicken special.
No photos of the noodles, but let me add that I've been googling them sporadically since first trying them, and have never seen anything close!
Mandarin Crispy Tofu
Lastly, souvenirs.
The espresso blend was freshly roasted and on sale for $5. Heck, yes. Cue cold pressing.

Metro Hired Bus Driver with Several Traffic Violations | News
WASHINGTON, D.C. (WUSA) -- How many traffic violations are too many to become a Metrobus driver? It's a question 9News is asking WMATA after Wednesday's arrest of a Metrobus driver for his alleged involvement in the murder of a Centreville man in May 2010. 43-year-old Stacy Reed has been fired from WMATA and charged with conspiracy to commit robbery. But it's his driving record that's creating even more questions.
- 1990 Failure to Prevent Load on Highway from Becoming Loose
- 1990 Driving Vehicle in Excess Weight
- 1990 Unsafe Tires
- 1990 Unsafe Tires
- 1990 Driving Vehicle in Excess Weight
- 1990 Batteries Not Covered
Prince William County
- 2002 Defective Equipment
- 2009 Disregard a Red Light
- 2009 Failure to Obey Traffic Signal
Fairfax County
- 2002 Following Too Closely
- 2007 Improper Control/Driving
- 2007 Learner's Permit Violation
- 2010 Driving Under Revoked/Suspension
WMATA officials declined to comment on camera, but the transit agency did release the following statement:
"Background screenings are performed on all candidates for employment with Metro. Accordingly, Mr. Reed's background screening was performed, analyzed and provided no indication of criminal history that would preclude him from employment with Metro."
WMATA officials also say that they only check the last ten years of a candidate's driving record. Therefore, Reed's six citations in Prince George's County were never considered when he applied for employment.

Our core mission involves:
We have monthly meetings on the 4th Sunday of each month in the Hollywood area. We get together for informative lectures, to celebrate the seasonal equinoxes and solstices, to watch secular movies, play fun games and more. A complimentary lunch is always served after the general meetings.
We also sponsor special events throughout the month and our affiliate organizations have events all over the Los Angeles area.
Join our community today and get together with us to discuss beliefs and philosophies, deepen your freethought heritage and make new friends.
The organization is led by President Bill Hausman. You can see the entire Board of Directors and supporting staff here.
Established in 1982, Atheists United is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit, tax deductible educational organization. We are one of the largest freethought organizations in the nation and the largest in the Southern California area. As an affiliate of Atheists Alliance of America and the Los Angeles Freethought Federation, Atheists United is committed to consolidating the collective efforts of its members to affect change on a local, national and international level to advance the cause of an atheist community, secular government and religious tolerance.
By providing regularly planned events and the opportunity for fellowship, Atheists United hopes to inspire a vibrant and active atheist community. For far too many non-believers, isolation is a common experience as religious belief tends to be an assumed default, discouraging those who might abide by their freedom of conscience to admit their doubt or non-belief. Atheists United provides a welcoming environment where atheists can meet and are encouraged to connect with other non-believers.
Atheists United defends the separation of government from religion by encouraging civic engagement and activism among its members to elevate the awareness of secular issues to the general public and consolidate the political will of non-believers. Through education campaigns and public displays, Atheists United seeks to reaffirm the freethought heritage of our secular nation and validate the patriotism of freethinkers who are just as entitled to our nation's legacy as religious citizens.
Through public outreach and education, AU strives to advance the acceptance of atheism as a worldview consistent with morality and ethics. In order to promote positive humanistic ethics and religious tolerance, AU fosters respect for non-believers through opportunities for members to engage in service, charitable endeavors and public demonstrations. AU builds partnerships with organizations whose missions complement AU's goals by promoting their events to our members and by providing material support such as donations and volunteers to their endeavors to increase our member's collective power to affect positive change in our world.
Atheists United is a positive atheist community. As such, we believe in equal treatment and opportunity among all people, regardless of race, world view, sex or sexual preference. Another feature of positive atheism is the absence of dogma. Its founder Gora said, "The only imperative is honesty." Because of this distrust for catechisms and similar "moral laws," we tolerate members and friends who may not share the tenets of positive atheism. So long as they do not pretend to speak for Atheists United or misrepresent our belief, they are welcome.

Tucker Max's Biggest Fans Explain His Transcendent Movie
Tucker Max's movie "Poop: My Story" is really, objectively not doing well, at all. We'll just delicately link to the weekend's movie chart, with no overt comment. However! The sycophants on Tucker Max's message boards have an alternative view.
There is probably nothing more enjoyable on the internet today than to contrast the movie I saw with the reviews of said movie by the only other people in America who saw it: the hardcore Tucker Max fans who frequent his message boards. Never let it be said that we don't provide space for differing opinions.
1. "The comedic value isn't what sets the movie apart to me, it's the fact that it actually has a soul. When I walked out of the theater I wasn't really thinking about how funny it was, I was thinking about friendships I've had in the past that I screwed up or have lost - it made me introspective."
2. "Much in the same way 'fratire' became a new genre, Tucker made this movie from a completely different mold. And, he deserves to be evaluated on that basis."
3. "Tucker and Nils could make 10 sequels to IHTSBIH and they'd still be funny so long as the dialogue didn't repeat. Because that's where the humor was derived: the fucking English language. Crazy concept, right?"
4. "I think you infused the right amount of slapstick, physical comedy (the shit scene, Dan pissing on the cops) into the movie. I like it when you can laugh at two very different levels of humor in the same flick."
5. "I've seen Tucker on camera many times, but it was weird to see him in a movie about him...with him not playing...him. And was it me or was he overacting that role like a motherfucker in the background of those scenes? Haha, nah, you were good dude."
6. "Expected more laugh out loud moments in the movie, but that was mostly from my high expectations. I rarely laugh out loud in movies, but I remember I did during the shit scene and the scene with Drew strangling Lara. A few of the one liners like 'You smell like you got buttfucked by a garbage truck.'"
7. "Take Drew. Not a single person who's criticized the Drew/Lara relationship has mentioned a characteristic of his other than that he "hates women," a fact that shows a deep misunderstanding of the character and relationship. Drew is bitter because he's fucking hurting. He is a very deeply moral character. He clearly puts a lot of weight on trust: he won't lie for his friends because Dan's fiancée trusts him and he will not undermine that. To not have that same trust reciprocated in a relationship as involved as the one he just got out of is fucking devastating.
To give someone your all, to buy them his and hers chairs to play video games in, to so let them into your life, only to catch them sucking off a fucking rapper on your couch? The damage that does to his emotional health is so palpable it's ridiculous. Some of the shots of Jesse reacting to Lara and the kid back at their house are priceless. Bradford does such a good job letting that pain and longing simmer. Chills."
8. "I loved the fact that even though I didn't find it funny, I was only bored during one scene."
9. "We've been so conditioned to see people dodging wrenches to practice dodging a ball, Asian gangsters in car trunks, and Jason Biggs sliding to home plate with a pie that when we see flaming Dr. Peppers we probably expected someone or something to catch fire for some cheap laugh. Instead we heard "So who's the slutty one?" said to a bachelorette party. The line – like the entire tone of the movie – is in your face and that artistic choice is so different the combination is unsettling to some people, but funny to nearly everyone."
10. "In a few years, when critics look at the IHTSBIH franchise as a whole, they're going to be eating a lot of crow. Not because they wrote bad reviews (this movie, like every other movie, has its flaws), but because they failed to miss the "experience" aspect all together. In the same way that George Lucas generated long-term success for Star Wars with cutting-edge movie-making technology, IHTSBIH will ultimately succeed as a franchise and a brand because it completely redefined what it means to "experience" a movie. That's why it's unfair to compare this to any other film. It isn't like them."

hello thanks for looking in here. i'm trying to square with a London-based record dealer (reggae of course).
i placed an order and sent an international money order for payment, which was accepted. but i've since heard they have had difficulty getting it cashed.
i thought i'd used this same type of international money order to pay a seller from England before, but maybe i remember wrong.
does anyone have any wisdom here?
thank you.

I believe you need to make your statement more powerful. I've offered all of the advice that I can now. Take it as you will.
"nice try though?" haha, what? am i missing something here? your input has helped me refocus my statement, but that last post came off ridiculously juvenile. did i hurt your feelings when i said being the last person to leave a test while also studying for it when you were already overachieving is commonplace? my bad, then.
don't worry about. i've definitely put your input to use.
Since my birth I have had no single defining moment, no tragedy, epiphany, or periods of absolute elation or depression. I have learned, loved, succeeded and failed, but my experiences and life lessons have been more commonplace than Hollywood. I am, by my approximation, a product of everyday life, shaped slowly but surely by people, events, and circumstances that, to most others, seem rather ordinary. In eighth grade, I wrote an essay on Jack Londons novel, Call of the Wild, that subsequently helped alter the direction of my career aspirations. The paper was succinctly graded by my teacher Ms. Bonner; it had an A with a circle around it, short comments and underlines within the papers margin, and a laconic message on the last page: Can I keep? It did not take long for me to take this early success and build upon it. It was not at this moment that I first realized I enjoyed writing; I had known that for years prior, ever since I provided the blurbs for the comics my best friend and I co-produced. Rather, I realized that I could be a thoroughly successful writer, at both a personal and academic level. I began to log regular entries into a personal journal to develop my written voice. I have since broadened myself by writing poetry, blog entries, and even early screenwriting, while continuing to excel at academic research papers and essays. To credit all my interests and successes in writing to a single eighth grade essay would be short sighted, as there have been many other positive influences throughout my life, but it was a catalyst; it was the type of event in memory that oddly changed my own perceptions about my abilities and who I could be. It is often surprising what a little reinforcement can do; an admittedly commonplace, but undeniably defining moment brought upon a major development in my life. Ms. Bonner, and the paper itself, fostered a change in interest and academic focus that indirectly strengthened my ability to succeed in the professional world. As was the case in my youth, it has been the little things that have continued to define me. During the summer of 2009, I interned at a small local law firm, doing clerical and administrative work, and legal research. It was a learning experience, one punctuated, oddly enough, by a brown paper napkin. One afternoon, the interns had been tasked to find out what outstanding tax fees two companies owed in order to revive each corporation. Phoning the California Tax Board and Secretary of State's Office was not a very difficult task, but it was one that my fellow interns avoided because it meant going out of a comfort zone and also being put on hold for something like an eternity. I ended up making three calls that day that lasted close to three hours in total. I negotiated for the necessary documents to be faxed, along with handwritten calculations, provided by the kind fellows at the tax board, whom I had asked to estimate the total cost for revival. It took a bit of prodding, but the estimations of hard numbers were made and finally sent over. The next day, upon checking my tray in the office, I noticed a brown paper napkin had been left there. On the napkin was a written note, a few lines of messy-yet-legible writing, which stated the faxed information was far more comprehensive than expected, and that my effort and persistence had been appreciated. It was not a chest-bumping, crowd arousing sequence, but it was one that instilled quiet confidence that said something along the lines of: "Yeah, you have potential." Much like Ms. Bonner's short and profound request, an abbreviated message made all the difference between the everyday and something entirely more memorable. Perhaps my life has progressed sans an encompassing defining moment, but it has not been short on smaller, yet just-as-meaningful ones. It has been this accumulation of the "little" things in life that has propelled me to pursue a career in law, while also providing me the confidence to move on to the next modest-but-defining moment, or perhaps, newer, and decidedly bigger things. any thoughts are appreciated.

This fall Ford is releasing an all-new 2013 Ford Fusion – and the vehicle was just rated by the EPA as the most fuel-efficient midsize sedan in America with fuel economy scores of 47 mpg city, 47 mpg highway and 47 mpg combined. The EPA's rating of 47 mpg means that the new Fusion Hybrid is more fuel-efficient than its closest competitor, the Toyota Camry Hybrid, by 8 mpg highway and 4 mpg city.
The 2013 Ford Fusion will be offered with a choice of five different engines: three four-cylinder engines and two hybrids. "The new Fusion is part of our plan to offer vehicles with the very best quality, fuel efficiency, safety, smart design and value," says Alan Mulally, Ford president and CEO. "We are absolutely committed to class-leading fuel efficiency as a reason to buy Ford vehicles, with customers able to choose the fuel-efficient powertrain that best fits their lifestyle."
In addition to the EPA rating for the Fusion Hybrid, Ford has also announced that the most fuel-efficient non-hybrid model will be the Fusion equipped with the 1.6L EcoBoost engine, which gets up to 37 mpg on the highway. If you want an even more fuel-efficient Fusion, Ford is also releasing the Fusion Energi plug-in hybrid that is projected to get over 100 MPGe (miles-per-gallon equivalent). In addition the Fusion is available with Ford's patented Auto Start-Stop system, which automatically shuts off the engine at idle to help save customers even more fuel in stop-and-go city driving.
"Ford is bringing power of choice to midsize sedan buyers," says Mark Fields, president of The Americas. "More than 2 million customers this year will purchase midsize cars. Our new Fusion delivers the fuel savings people truly want and value, with technologies that cost two to three times the price on some German sedans."

Building a strong foundation for a women's
golf team at a university that's never had one is no easy feat.
The challenge doesn't intimidate new
University of North Florida head coach Joanne Steele. She's fought tougher
"It puts things in perspective when you have
doctors telling you that you only have a month left to live," Steele said. "It
makes other challenges seem a little less tough. And it prepares you for
anything. I'm prepared for what comes next in my life, and in the upcoming
Steele has already recruited her first class
of six student-athletes who she'll lead into the inaugural season of the UNF
women's golf team. It's the start of a new athletic program for UNF, and Steele
said it's been a welcome change for her to start fresh after many years in
which her future seemed hazy.
Steele grew up in Helena, Mont., and was indoctrinated into the sporting life early. Her
six brothers played sports year-round, and Steele always pushed herself to keep
up. She found a niche in track but later turned to golf when she found herself
getting winded before many of the other runners.
That was her first
sign that everything wasn't all right. But like any motivated competitor, she
tried to simply power through the pain.
"I just thought
everyone was winded and didn't want to complain about it," Steele said. "I
didn't suspect it was anything worse than that."
Her transition to
golf proved to be a smart call. Steele excelled in high school and landed a
scholarship to play at Jacksonville University. She played all four years there
and gained an appreciation for Jacksonville and Northeast Florida, worlds — and
climates — away from her small Montana hometown.
She stuck around the
region for a year after graduation and worked as an assistant golf pro at
Amelia Island Plantation Resort before moving back home. That's when she got
her first coaching opportunity. She was hired at the University of Montana as
an assistant and promoted to head coach after only a year. She led the squad
for 16 years and never missed a beat, even when she was fighting for her life.
Steele was diagnosed with hypertrophic
cardiomyopathy in 1999 after the birth of her second daughter. The condition
worsened over the years — more shortness of breath and irregular heart rhythms
— to the point that a heart transplant was a necessity.
The transplant was received right at the wire
— Steele said her doctors told her she would've died if she had to wait another
month for a donor. After the 2006 procedure and months of recovery, Steele was
back on track and started contemplating the next phase of her life.
She said she'd wanted to move back to
Jacksonville, the setting of her college glory days, for years. The
opportunity, however, had yet to present itself.
That changed last year. Steele saw an article
on the UNF Athletics website advertising the formation of a women's golf team
and reached out to Athletics Director Lee Moon.
Moon said he noticed in Steele the motivation
and grit needed to help guide the Ospreys through any first-year growing pains.
"Joanne has the
knowledge, experience and competitive drive to build a highly successful
program at UNF," he said.
And Steele thinks the team she spent hundreds
of hours recruiting is ready to blaze out of the gates and challenge the rest
of the Atlantic Sun Conference in 2012-2013.
"I believe the team we are
assembling puts us in a place to compete for Atlantic Sun Championships
immediately," Steele said. "We're very excited."
One key factor in the coming year will be
their mental and physical toughness, Steele said. She wanted her inaugural
recruiting class to be able to weather any potential difficulties tied to the
first year of a program.
"We're going to be the underdogs coming out —
we know that," she said. "And I like that. We have a young team. But they're
good. I want to set a high standard right from the start. Top three in the
conference is possible. I'm a competitor, and they are too. They're tough. With
that motivation and the support from the University, we can really thrive."
That kind of toughness can take you far. Steele
knows that better than anyone.

Wade: Murray could go it alone
Virginia Wade is sure Andy Murray can bounce back after his quarter-final Wimbledon exit - but has questioned whether Amelie Mauresmo should stay on as his coach.
This tournament was his first grand slam working with France's 2006 Wimbledon winner Mauresmo, who he appointed as successor to Ivan Lendl only the previous month.
Wade said pre-Wimbledon that she thought Murray's decision to hire Mauresmo was a joke and was struggling to understand the logic behind it.
And speaking on Sunday to BBC Radio 5 Live's Sportsweek programme, former Wimbledon champion Wade said: "I think it was very optimistic to think she (Mauresmo) could have an impact in a couple of weeks before a major tournament.
"I feel that he learned so much from Lendl that it is not that essential that he actually has somebody telling him what to do.
"He needs to implement all that himself. He has a great team around him, so possibly he was better just doing the thinking himself.
"I'm not 100 per cent sure about that, because I know that he has people in his team that are very good tennis people.
"But unless he can find the right person to be his coach, I think he is better off to fight a bit on his own and assimilate all of the stuff he has heard from Lendl and from his own experience, and work on that."
She added: "I think if the Amelie relationship is going well, absolutely keep her on.
"But I think it was really worrying for him, the last few months with all the speculation which certainly was worrying for all of us, that a decision could not be made - that he did not know who was likely to be there.
"If he can continue with Amelie, I think that would be great, but I'm still saying that he is master of his own fate in so many ways."
Murray, who won the US Open and Wimbledon under Lendl, is facing a significant drop down the rankings but Wade is confident the 27-year-old Scot will soon be rising again.
"He is just too good a player to stick around at number 10," Wade said.
"I honestly thought he was likely to win the tournament again when I was watching him play. Some of his tennis was absolutely brilliant.
"I think his game is all there and it is just a matter of him getting himself back.
"I think he was in a bit of a defensive mode this whole year. I just really do believe that - that it was almost too much for him to handle the thought of having to dig that deep to win again at Wimbledon.
"I think it was hanging over him like a black cloud the whole time.
"So I think maybe now, as long as he gets a bit of a break and can have a fresh start... he is one hell of a player - he is unbelievable, so he is up there in the top half-dozen all the time."
