T.O. to get last laugh with the CowboysSeptember 11, 2008
Everybody said bringing T.O. to Dallas was a mistake, well looking back, I would have to disagree. He has done nothing but be a model player, and become a threat on the cowboys. T.O. is at his best right now, and I think he will show Philadelphia this week, what they are truly missing out on.
When he faces off agianst his former team, I know he won't need any motivation to play his best. While there has been talk if he and Donovan have buried the hatchet, All T.O. wants is to best his former QB and be able to say so to his face after the game.
T.O. was the reason the eagles were able to finally make it to the Super Bowl and when they didn't win, he became the fall guy. But Philly should have looked at their quarterback closer. Because since T.O's departure, Philly hasn't been able to replenish that success.
This year the cowboys are favored to win it all, and one of the main reasons is becuase of Terrell Owens. He has become the playmaker on the offensive side of the ball for Tony Romo. And when T.O. is drawing up double coverage, then somebody else is open and makes a play.
As a fan, I don't understand why they would let such an explosive player go, but their loss is our gain. And when we win the Super Bowl, everybody in Philly will see that they let the wrong player go. So Thank you Philadelphia, Your bone head decision is going to be our sixth super bowl. And yes, T.O. will be one of the reasons we do it.

Also, you should check out Naked Pastor's blog. It is quite controversial and I think there are a lot of marginalized people checking it out who need to hear the gospel. I think you would be perfect for some of them. There is a link on my blog if you want to check it out. Again, the discussions are intense with a TON of people. They need an evangelist!

Changing from PS3 fat to slim help?
hey there,greetings to all, I have an old 40gb fat ps3 (3.41 cfw) with ylod (reflowed twice) wearing a 750gb (wd) hd (internal)... I just ordered a new slim 160gb with 3.40 ow on it, in order to continue on using my dearest cfw... is there any way of swapping the new slim's drive with my old 750 gb drive and the same time make some trick (change id's via ftp maybe) and somehow force the console to recognize any previous games, installations, saves and trophies instead of formatting the drive?
p.s. already made a little research and something tells me that the old drive will be formatted and I would have to install everything from the beginning (except trophies-not possible)... but before proceeding I would really like your advice... thx in advance

Change Log
0.1.7 - Fixed an issue with visitor_utils.get_visitor_from_request() that was causing an error with missing get_visitor()
0.1.6 - Fixed the pypi tar.gz, it was missing some files
0.1.5 - Added VISITOR_IGNORE_IP_LIST custom setting to help with issues behind a load balancer.
0.1.4 - Merged in changes from pydanny (cleanup and better docs)
0.1.3 - Added missing constant "REQUEST_LOG_ID" used by other applications.
0.1.2 - Added support for akamai's site accelerator, it puts the visitors origin IP in a custom header, so I needed to add a change to support this.

"If people do not understand why their computing is related to their freedom, it's because nobody explained them properly" (Bernhard Reiter)
Bernhard Reiter is one of FSFE's founders and architect of the original German team. He participated in setting up three important Free Software organisations: FreeGIS.org, FFII, and FossGIS. Besides that, he is founder and Executive Director of Intevation GmbH, a company with exclusively Free Software products and services since 1999.
Interesting stories about setting up FSFE, challenges for Free Software, and more are covered in this month's Fellowship interview.
A lot of people talk about "intellectual property". When using this term, they usually mix different things like copyright, patents, trademarks, also right to a name, utility patents, business models, or even geographical indications. If you want to think critically and clearly about challenges in the digital age, you should separate those different issues.
If you really need a term to cover all that, you should use one which is not that much biased. There are some suggestions in the articles mentioned below, like the term "Limited Intellectual Monopolies".
But in 90% cases there is actually only one monopoly concerned. Discussions will be much more productive if everybody knows what you are talking about. So, if someone says "we need more protection of "intellectual property", ask them what that means, perhaps it means they want to have software patents. If someone says "we need to limit the scope of "intellectual property", you should ask if they want to restrain copyright, patents or even abolish trademarks.
You can read more about this in Richard Stallman's article "Did You Say 'Intellectual Property'? It's a Seductive Mirage", Georg Greve's "Fighting intellectual poverty (Who owns and controls the information societies?)", and your editor's interview with Dradio Wissen (in German).
For FSFE it is important that all of you support us. This way our work does not depend on single donors, and we can continue to think and communicate critical to promote software freedom.
It is now possible to donate us monthly and yearly by credit card and in Germany also by direct debit. Beside that, in the Netherlands donations to FSFE can now be deducted from income tax (before it was only possible in Germany and Switzerland). If we get more than 20 new donors, your editor promises that he will not write the word "critical" in the next newsletter.
"When patents attack" is a good story from investigative journalists on software patents, which reads like a crime story. Your editor recommends you to read it so you have good arguments in future. If you like it, distribute the article among your colleagues and friends.

France to end ban on gay blood donorsBreaking News Sunday, June 17th, 2012
The French Ministry of Health will no longer forbid the acceptance of blood and plasma donations from gay men, who have been thought to be higher risks for infecting the blood supply with the HIV virus.
According to the English-language French newspaper, The Connexion, France will issue a similar policy to that of England, Wales and Scotland, where men who have not had sex with another man for 12 months may donate blood. It was not clear how, other than the "honor system" that stipulation would be established.
Ineligibility to donate blood should come not as a result of the ""nature of sexual relations or sexual inclination" but on the "multiplicity of partners," said France's health minister Marisol Touraine. Touraine, speaking during World Blood Donor Day ceremonies, promised to roll out a policy that would life the decades-old ban within a few months.

Here is a link to our slideshow that Anel did for us a few weeks ago. http://171212ryan.dr...rephotos.com.mx
They don't let you switch out between things in the package unless it's the same type of thing. Like you can use cocktail hour money towards dinner, and bouquet money towards centerpieces, but not photographry to food.
also.. I love you chair bows! are those the one provided by the resort or did you bring those with you? I love the pattern on them..

Of course it is none of my business, but i have always wandered about theOpen source software in a business context is about business applications that a small company
real usefulness of a clustering OS in the context of free systems, and you
post allows me to explain why. People who have the money to buy machines by
the thousands, run them, pay the electricity bill, etc. should also have
the money to pay $$$ to IBM, and not count on the generosity of unpaid
developers. Small installations are the natural target of free systems, and
in this context i remain convinced that the clustering ideas have an
utility next to null. And frankly, i doubt they have any utility for big
systems if you don't use high speed, low latency connects which are far
more expensive than the machines themselves. And even with this highly
expensive hardware, if you don't have high brain programmers able to really
make use of concurrency.
On the contrary, the disks of Joe User are becoming bigger and bigger, his
processor is getting more and more cores, so there is clearly a need for
file systems appropriate for big disks and sufficiently reliable ( ZFS
being an example ) and operating systems able to use multicores

A PPO plan might say that it will pay 60 to 80 percent of out-of-network care. That does not mean it will pay 60 to 80 percent of the actual bill, though. It means it will pay 60 to 80 percent of what the insurance company thinks the test or treatment ought to cost. Consumer Reports found lots of examples of patients being hit with astronomical bills. Bottom line, stay in your network. If you must go out of network, research ahead of time what your insurance company will pay.
Also research what the test or procedure should cost. Two services Healthcarebluebook.com and Fairhealthconsumer.org?let you search the cost of medical services by ZIP code. Sometimes you can use that information to negotiate with the non-network provider you want to use.
If you get a big bill, don't just complain to the insurance company. Enlist your employer and your state insurance department to help resolve the matter.
Consumer Reports says that you can end up paying more than necessary if you pay the first bill you get. The charges may be the higher "list" prices. Wait until you get your explanation of benefit or EOB to see what you really owe. Consumer Reports has more health care costs and ways to save.

Prayer for Healing Back to Prayer Categories
Heavenly Father, I thank you for loving me. I thank you for sending your Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, to the world to save and to set me free. I trust in your power and grace that sustain and restore me. Loving Father, touch me now with your healing hands, for I believe that your will is for me to be well in mind, body, soul and spirit.
Cover me with the most precious blood of your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ from the top of my head to the soles of my feet. Cast out anything that should not be in me. Root out any unhealthy and abnormal cells. Open any blocked arteries or veins and rebuild and replenish any damaged areas.
Remove all inflammation and cleanse any infection by the power of Jesus' precious blood. Let the fire of your healing love pass through my entire body to heal and make new any diseased areas so that my body will function the way you created it to function. Touch also my mind and my emotion, even the deepest recesses of my heart. Heal the hurts and pains and all the wounds that I have in my life. Saturate my entire being with your presence, love, joy, and peace and draw me ever closer to you every moment of my life.
And Father, fill me with your Holy Spirit and empower me to do your works so that my life will bring glory and honor to your holy name.
A Prayer for Seeking Treatment
Heavenly Father, as you know, I am facing a major health challenge in my life. I ask that you grant me the energy and determination to seek out and find the right physicians, treatments and programs; the courage and grace to follow them; and your peace and serenity to rest and restore my body, mind and spirit. Amen.
A Prayer for Better Health
Lord, I come before you today in need of your healing hand. In you all things are possible. Hold my heart within yours, and renew my mind, body, and soul.
I am lost, but I am singing. You gave us life, and you also give us the gift of infinite joy. Give me the strength to move forward on the path you've laid out for me. Guide me towards better health, and give me the wisdom to identify those you've placed around me to help me get better.
In your name I pray, Amen.
Prayers for Healing a Loved One
All our times are in Thy hand.
All diseases come at Thy call, and go at Thy bidding.
Thou redeemest our life from destruction, and crownest us with loving kindness and tender mercies. We bless Thee, that Thou hast heard prayer, and commanded deliverances for our friend and Thy servant, who has been under Thine afflicting hand.
He (or she) was brought low, but Thou hast helped him (her). May he (she) not only live, but declare the works of the Lord!
As Thou hast delivered his eyes from tears, his feet from falling, and his soul from death, may he daily inquire:What shall I render unto the Lord for all his benefits towards me,and resolve to offer unto Thee the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and to call upon the name of the Lord.
May we ever remember that recovery is only a reprieve and that some day we will go to our rest in the Lord. May we therefore secure the righteous path and live with eternity ever in our view.
Think, O God, of our friend who is ill, whom we now commend to Your compassionate regard. Comfort him upon his sickbed, and ease his suffering. We beg for deliverance, and submit that no healing is too hard for the Lord, if it be His will.
We therefore pray if it please You, that You bless our friend with Your loving care, renew his strength, and heal what ails him in Your loving name. Thank You, Lord.
A Prayer for Healing
Dear Lord, You are the Just judge, Holy and True. You are the Most High God. You give us life. You hold all power in your hands.
You are the Mighty one from God who carries the world, and is ruler over all the earth. You Oh Most Blessed One are the giver of life. In you are only good things. In you is mercy and love. In you is healing of the nations. In you is freedom of worry and freedom of pain.

The Astros will honor the retiring Lance Berkman and Roy Oswalt with a special pregame ceremony prior on April 5 before the team's game with the Angels, the team announced Wednesday.
The ceremony will include retirement gifts and several of Berkman and Oswalt's former teammates and family members. Prior to the ceremony, the Astros will hold a press conference during which each player will be signed to a one-day contract so that they can officially retire as Astros. All fans attending will receive a special commemorative item.
"We are honored to celebrate the careers of Lance and Roy, two of the best players in Astros history," said President of Business Operations Reid Ryan. "Both were elite players and among the best of their era, and both played extremely significant roles in the most successful run in Astros history.
"Lance and Roy were also very popular with our fans and were outstanding representatives of the Astros organization. On April 5, our fans will have the opportunity to celebrate their great careers with us."
Berkman, 38, spent 12 of his 15 MLB seasons in an Astros uniform after being the club's first pick in the 1997 June Draft out of Rice University. For his career, he hit .293 in 1,879 games with 366 home runs and 1,234 RBI with a .406 on-base pct and a .537 slugging pct.
"I'm really looking forward to this," Berkman said. "It's great to come back to Houston full circle. I've always considered myself an Astro and a Houstonian. I'm very proud to have played on some great Astros teams and proud to have played in what was probably the best era in franchise history. It is very appropriate to retire as an Astro."
In 13 MLB seasons (2001-13), Oswalt compiled a 163-102 record in 365 appearances (341 starts) with a 3.36 ERA. During his 10 seasons in an Astros uniform (2001-10), Oswalt was one of the top pitchers in all of baseball. A three-time All-Star, Oswalt reached 20 wins in back-to-back seasons (2004-05) and was a 19-game winner in 2002. After being selected in the 23rd round of the 1996 June Draft, he arrived in the Major Leagues in 2001, posting an outstanding 14-3 record in 28 appearances (20 starts) that season with a 2.73 ERA.
Oswalt earned MVP honors in the 2005 NLCS, posting a 2-0 mark with a 1.29 ERA in the Astros six-game series win vs. the St. Louis Cardinals. In that series, he was the starter and winner of the Astros Game Six-clinching win at Busch Stadium. In 13 career postseason appearances, he was 5-2 with a 3.73 ERA.
"To come back and retire as an Astro means a lot to me," Oswalt said. "I came up with the Astros organization and played on some great teams. Playing in the World Series in 2005 was the highlight of my big league career. I have a lot great memories from my years with the Astros."

The formerly down-and-out Olney Theatre revives itself with new musicals and stepped-up marketing
A singing nanny, a mopey comic strip character and a plucky orphan all played an important role in the continuing financial recovery of the Olney Theatre Center.
The Montgomery County regional theater saw its ticket sales rise a whopping 175 percent in 2011. The Olney is creeping up on its 75th anniversary in 2013 and is on the hunt for a new artistic director, as Jim Petosa is scheduled to step down this spring.
The rebirth follows a serious struggle to stay profitable after the recession hit.
Pre-recession, things were great for the Olney — an eight-show season, completion of an expanded main stage and outdoor theater, a family and jazz series that drew big crowds. But when theater attendance and donations to the arts dropped in the recession, the Olney found itself in a tough position.
The low point came in 2009, says Managing Director Amy Marshall. The Olney lost about $1.5 million for the year and had to contend with about $6 million in debt incurred during the expansion of the main state and construction of the outdoor theater.
By 2010, it was time to make some painful choices. Everything had to change: programming scope, programming content, marketing and fundraising.
"The artistic staff really stepped it up and made the difficult decision to revise programming with the eye towards the finances of the organization," Marshall says.
The programming changes were a big adjustment for the Olney. The theater dropped from eight productions a year to six. It shifted to big musicals that were appropriate for both adults and their little ones.
Previous seasons were more of a mix of experimental or challenging fare and shows that catered to adult audiences or purely to children. Musicals weren't a major focus.
The results of the switch were evident immediately. A production of "Annie" brought in $875,000. "The Sound of Music" drew just shy of $1 million in sales.
"A woman came up to me and told me that while she loves taking her kids to places like Adventure Theater or Imagination Stage, there's not much there that she and her husband can enjoy," Marshall says.
This season, the trend continued with "You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown," and the summer will see a production of cult favorite "Little Shop of Horrors."
The Olney also devoted more attention to its holiday programming, a move not unfamiliar to Milwaukee Ballet veteran Marshall, who calls it the "Nutcracker" strategy, named for the ever-popular Christmas-themed ballet.
The revenue jump was apparent — from $3.6 million in 2009 to a little less than $5 million in 2010. Some feared it would be a one-year blip, but 2011 topped $5 million with the highest ticket sales in the theater's history.
Besides retooling its programming, the theater has been willing to break rules and stereotypes associated with fundraising.
"People would say you can't approach multiple donors multiple times, but we did," Marshall says. "People say that email can't be an effective fundraising tool, but we were successful there."
Luck also played a part. The theater stumbled on an anonymous donor who has given more than $2 million to the organization.
"He reached out to me because he has a relative in the area, and the day he came to visit was just a perfect day here," Marshall says. "That's the best thing about Olney — if you can get them out here, they can fall in love with it. I did."
But getting people out to Olney, about 20 miles from the White House, can be a challenge. So part of the theater's marketing changes were designed to better communicate its accessibility. A Rockville resident, for example, could drive there in 20 minutes.
In another move to increase awareness, the Olney started putting ads on the back of buses and similar placements. It stopped its giant ads in The Washington Post in favor of cheaper, but more targeted, advertising in smaller publications like The Gazette.
The efforts paid off. Even shows like the political play "Farragut North," with less name recognition than the theater's trademark musicals, found an audience.
The Olney also picked up on a trend many local theater organizations are experimenting with: flexible subscription models, where audience members are free to choose the number of shows they see as well as the content, rather than being saddled with a whole season's worth of tickets.
Still, the new year has brought new challenges for the Olney.
One goal is to provide more original children's programming, and the theater found a way to do it in a cost-effective manner: A group of 12 interns is taking the lead in writing and producing an original take on "Little Red Riding Hood."
There is also the search to replace Petosa, one that the theater would like to wrap up by May or June.
The Olney, however, has drawn some criticism from purists for its content choices, Marshall says. "I think the board and artistic staff would like to get back to riskier programming at some point."
Meanwhile, she says, other theaters are adopting the Olney's approach. She sees it in the playbills of established companies such as D.C.'s Arena Stage, which will offer "The Music Man" this year, and the Signature Theater, which is planning "Dreamgirls."
"Everyone is sort of embracing the big musical," Marshall says, "because they know it drives revenue."

Pakistan: a new leg brings new life for Manshad
12-12-2011 Feature
Manshad Ahmed was 25 years old when a mighty earthquake shook his native village of Ghanchattar in Pakistan-administered Kashmir. Recovering from surgery, he was shocked to find that his leg had been amputated below the knee. The earthquake shattered not only his bones, but also the dreams of a young man. Manshad talked to the ICRC about his experience of coping with psychological and physical trauma and overcoming economic difficulties.
"You cannot possibly imagine how it feels when you can't walk anymore. I thought I was the most useless person on earth. Instead of supporting my old parents, I became a burden to them," says Manshad, sitting on a stool inside his grocer's shop.
"I remember that day very well. I left home early in the morning to get some milk for my parents. Suddenly everything started shaking terribly. I didn't understand what was going on until I saw bricks falling from a wall. Then a big beam fell on my leg. I could hear the sound of my bones breaking. The pain was nothing compared to what I felt when I was told they'd amputated my leg. I didn't want to be a coward, but I couldn't stop crying for weeks."
Fighting back the tears, Manshad continues: "I'd started my first job just a few days before. My elder brother had promised that I would build my own house and get married. The dreams of a modest but happy life were all shattered. People around me had also suffered a lot. Houses were destroyed, relatives dead, but I kept thinking about my own tragedy. As the months went by, I started to hate my bed, my crutches, myself."
The road to recovery
As we talk, Manshad's hand moves back and forth over his artificial leg. Customers come and go, and we have to interrupt our conversation every now and then. He stands up to weigh some peas for a customer, and then continues with his story.
"Let me tell you, you cannot imagine how it feels when you can stand again, even with an artificial leg. When I stood up for the first time, after an ICRC doctor had fitted me with a prosthesis, my legs were constantly shaking. I felt like a kid, I wanted to run, run really fast and show everybody that I was no longer dependent. They spent a week training me to use my new limb to walk and climb. Then I wanted to come back to my village as soon as possible. I wanted people to see me walking again, I was independent!"
The ICRC opened a physical rehabilitation centre in Muzaffarabad, with the support of the Ministry of Health, in 2007. The centre provides artificial limbs (prostheses), supportive devices such as wheelchairs, crutches, orthoses and physiotherapy services to people with physical disabilities, all free of charge. Registered patients also receive follow-up care and have their artificial limbs replaced on a regular basis.
"Two years later, the artificial leg had to be replaced. During my one-week stay at the physical rehabilitation centre, I heard about an opportunity to open my own business with the support of the ICRC. After discussion with my brother and friends, I decided to open this grocer's shop. My application was approved after an assessment. I went on a five-day business management course, and then the ICRC bought the things I needed for my shop. After I started my business, ICRC staff visited me every two months to provide more advice."
Manshad's shop brings in a small but regular income, which allows him to take care of his family and to plan for the future.
"I am married and have two daughters. We live in our own house and I am taking good care of my parents. That's all I ever wanted, all I ever dreamt of."
Muzaffarabad Physical Rehabilitation Centre (MPRC)
- Between July and September 2011, the ICRC provided 125 prosthetic and orthotic devices to 109 patients and registered 134 new patients.
- The centre has helped almost 4,000 disabled people since it opened in July 2007.
- Since 2008, MPRC patients can also apply for a grant to start or expand a business of their choice, with ICRC support and follow-up. Between July and September 2011, the ICRC helped 50 disabled people to start small businesses, bringing the total number of supported projects to 732. Most of the beneficiaries have chosen to open grocer's or greengrocer's shops, or to go into advanced tailoring, candle-making or livestock breeding.

McDonald's January Store Sales Drop in Asia U.S Gains
McDonald's Corp. (MCD), the world's largest restaurant chain, posted a surprise gain in U.S. same-store sales last month while demand slumped in the Asia Pacific region.
Sales in the U.S. increased 0.9 percent in January, the Oak Brook, Illinois-based company said today in a statement. Analysts projected a drop of 0.3 percent, the average of 14 estimates compiled by Consensus Metrix. Sales in Asia Pacific, the Middle East and Africa plunged 9.5 percent while analysts anticipated a decline of 5.8 percent.
The Big Mac seller has been promoting value items and breakfast foods to lure customers in Asia as Japan works to emerge from its third recession in five years and consumer confidence stagnates in China. In the U.S., McDonald's is promoting its Dollar Menu and testing new items, such as chicken wings, to boost sales.
McDonald's rose 0.3 percent to $94.87 at the close in New York. The shares dropped 12 percent last year, the worst annual performance in a decade. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index advanced 13 percent in 2012.
McDonald's January same-store sales in Japan, the company's largest Asian market with about 3,200 locations, dropped 17 percent.
Japan Slump
In Japan, "they're just in a really tough position -- it's a very competitive market," said Sara Senatore, a New York-based analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein & Co., who rates the shares market perform, meaning the stock will perform in line with the S&P 500 Index in the next six to 12 months.
Global sales fell 1.9 percent, the first monthly sales decline for January since 2003. Analysts anticipated a drop of 1.1 percent. Sales dropped 2.1 percent in Europe while analysts had forecast a gain of 0.1 percent, according to Consensus Metrix, a researcher owned by Wayne, New Jersey-based Kaul Advisory Group.
In Japan, the world's third-largest economy, retail sales rose less than forecast in December, indicating that consumer demand remains weak. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is trying to defeat deflation and lead the Asian nation out of recession.
McDonald's has been closing stores in Japan as comparable-store sales have fallen for 10 straight months. It has reduced the number of locations to 3,200 from more than 3,800 at the end of 2006. McDonald's has been getting away from couponing and discounting, which affected January sales.
Shrinking Paychecks
In China, McDonald's January sales were hurt by "consumer sensitivity" around the chicken industry, according to the statement. Yum! Brands Inc. (YUM), which owns KFC, said its China same-store sales tumbled in the fourth quarter after a former poultry supplier was investigated for selling chicken with high levels of antibiotics.
In the U.S., fast-food eateries are vying for budget-conscious customers who are seeing smaller paychecks. Yum's Taco Bell is selling new items including loaded grillers and a Cantina Bell steak burrito, while Burger King Worldwide Inc. (BKW) has recently introduced a molten fudge sundae and new chicken nuggets.
"People's paychecks have shrunk because of the payroll tax," Bryan Elliott, an analyst at St. Petersburg, Florida-based Raymond James Financial Inc., said in an interview yesterday. Elliott rates McDonald's shares market perform.
"I expect that to have a measurable impact on restaurant demand this year," he said.
Comparable, or same-store, sales are considered an indicator of a company's growth because they include only older restaurants. McDonald's December comparable-store sales were unchanged globally.
There are more than 34,000 McDonald's locations worldwide and about 80 percent are franchised.

So I took a chance on this one, since it's kind of pricey. But holy moly!! It really does wonders! I use it once a week, I leave it on a bit longer, 5-7 minutes. Yes it does tingle/burn, I would imagine on more sensitive skin it would be very uncomfortable, but I like it. When I take it off, my face is tight, smooth and my pores are clear. This has definitely helped reduce my blackheads-which in turn reduces breakouts. It also is just a fantastic way to relax! I definitely plan on indulging in the big tub, but this seems to last a while, as I'm at two months, once a week use, and still a fair amount left! If you are struggling with blackheads, or just looking for an extra jumpstart in keeping your face clear, I highly recommend this!5
Honesty time: I'm not sure if this product works, because I'm not sure how mud masks are supposed to work. But it didn't have any adverse effects. It felt all tingly and cool when I put it on, then got cakey and I had to get it off. I didn't break out, but I didn't look like Angelina Jolie afterwards either. But super fun for a girl's night!4
This is one of my favorite products. It's almost as good as a trip to the spa for a facial and pampering.
I like the gentle tightening effect and feel like it really helps my skin. This is a product I use 3-4 times a month when my skin starts feeling a little dull and needs a refresher. Works better if you've allowed your pores to open a bit - maybe from a steamy bath or shower.
Worst case... it's good for a laugh from my 5 year old son. He thinks I look like Shrek. :)

Last week Reps. George Miller (D-Calif.), senior Democrat on the committee, and John Tierney (D-Mass.), introduced the College Student Rebate Act of 2012, which would require colleges that spend less than 80 percent of their revenue on educational expenses to provide students, taxpayers or both with financial rebates. Today, The Huffington Post published a piece on the bill:
Currently for-profits have a "90/10" rule, which sets the limit of federal aid that an institution can receive at 90 percent of annual revenue. Yet for-profit colleges still collected $32 billion in Pell Grants, federal student loans and other government student aid in 2009-10, according to a July 2012 report from the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee. There's also a loophole for veterans benefits such as the GI Bill, which 21 attorneys general have been pressing Congress to close.
The large amount of for-profits' revenue coming straight from the federal government "raises a question very similar to health care," said Miller, the ranking Democrat on the House Education & Workforce Committee, in an interview with The Huffington Post.
"You have great concern across the country ... about the cost of a college education," Miller said, adding, "We've got to now start looking at the cost of that delivery system."
The cost to attend college is rising at an alarming rate, and the average associate's degree from a for-profit costs more than five times as much as the same two-year degree from a community college. Meanwhile, the median debt for students at for-profits is $32,700, while it's closer to $20,000 for graduates of public universities. According to the HELP Committee's July report, however, for-profit universities spend less than 20 percent of the revenue on instruction. On average, for the 30 companies the report investigated, 17.7 percent of their revenue went toward instruction, while 22.4 percent went to marketing and recruiting, and 19.4 percent was profit.

Lightning captain Steven Stamkos nears 100 percent as season approachesby Bryan Burns / Tampa Bay Lightning
Tampa Bay Lightning center Steven Stamkos experienced a severe injury as a professional for the first time last season when he wrapped his right leg around the goal post at Boston's TD Garden in the second period of an early-season game against the Bruins and broke his tibia.
Although he returned to the ice March 6 and played in 24 more games to close out the 2013-14 season, including four playoff games against Montreal, Stamkos never regained full strength.
Three weeks ago, Stamkos had a planned procedure to remove a screw in his leg – he still has one more that will remain provided it doesn't become an issue – and the 24-year-old No. 1 overall pick in the 2008 NHL Entry Draft said that he is close to 100 percent, closer than he has been at any point this offseason.
"Sometimes you still have to look back, and it hasn't even been a year yet [since the injury]," Stamkos said following informal workouts from the Lightning's practice facility at the Brandon Ice Sports Forum. "Usually they say stuff like that takes a full year to where it feels as close, but it never feels exactly the same. But, it's way better off than where it was at the end of the year. I'm pretty positive it's just going to continue to get better as they work on it, as the season progresses. It's the best it's felt heading into this year, for sure."
Stamkos started his offseason routine earlier than usual, trying to strengthen his right leg by pushing it in the gym and on the ice. The results have been encouraging.
"It feels much stronger," Stamkos said. "Mentally, too, you're in a better state. It's amazing what time and being able to work on it, being able to strengthen it kind of at your own pace and at your own time and how your body reacts. It's amazing week after week how much better it feels and how much closer it's getting to where it was before. I'm excited about that."
Stamkos is also excited about the team the Lightning will put on the ice when the season opens October 9 against the Florida Panthers at Amalie Arena. Following a season in which Tampa Bay defied conventional thinking by finishing with the third-best record in the Eastern Conference but were upset in the first round of the playoffs by the Canadiens, the Lightning added a group of veteran players to add to a young, talented core, creating a palpable buzz in Tampa Bay.
"Expectations are definitely raised heading into this year," Stamkos said. "It was a disappointing finish. I think we all learned from that and are excited to go back and kind of prove to everyone that last year wasn't just a fluke. We overcame a lot of adversity, and, hopefully, this year we don't have to. We can just build on (last season)."
In his first game back from injury last season, Stamkos was named team captain to replace the traded Martin St. Louis. Going into the 2014-15 season as the team's undisputed leader, Stamkos said not much has changed as far as his responsibilities. He's more focused on getting back on the ice and starting the season positively.
"It's nice to kind of have a test run (as captain) last year," Stamkos said. "That's the thing, you don't want to change much. I've been a leader on this team for a while. I've been able to learn from past guys that I played with at various times in my career. We have a great leadership group in here. It's pretty easy coming in and sharing that load with all those guys. You try not to change much and think about it too much. Sometimes you get in trouble when you overanalyze situations. We have a great core down here, and I'm just excited to work within that."

Upset winner of the Group 2 Expressway Stakes (1200m) at Rosehill on Saturday, Centennial Park has earned a shot at the upcoming $2 million Doncaster Mile, one of the most lucrative and anticipated races of the Sydney Autumn Carnival.
Five-year-old Centennial Park produced a career best run and broke an eleven race losing streak in the Expressway Stakes to claim a dominant victory over Love Conquers All and $2 favourite Hot Danish.
Despite the Thorn Park gelding pulling up sore following Saturday's success, trainer David Payne is certain Centennial Park will recover in time to contest the $250,000 Group 2 Apollo Stakes (1400m) on February 19 at Rosehill Gardens.
Another runner on way to the 2011 Apollo Stakes is eight-year-old Vision And Power, scratched from Saturday's Expressway Stakes due to the unsuitably hot and dry conditions.
Payne has named the Group 1 Doncaster Mile (1600m) at Randwick on April 16 as the main autumn target for Centennial Park.
In the early 2011 Doncaster Mile odds and betting markets, Luxbet have Centennial Park as a $51 chance.
More Joyous is the dominant $7 favourite followed by weight-for-age star Whobegotyou paying $9 to win the Doncaster through Luxbet.
To back Centennial Park in the Apollo Stakes on the weekend and to get in on the generous early Doncaster Mile betting, sign up with Luxbet now and get a free bet up to $400 simply by quoting the promo code BONUSBET.

Rapper Gucci Mane was indicted on one count of aggravated assault Tuesday, according to Channel 2 Action News.
Gucci Mane, whose real name is Radric Davis, is accused of hitting a soldier in the head with a champagne bottle at Harlem Nights club on Courtland Street in Atlanta in March.
The victim told Channel 2 that Davis hit him in the head while he was trying to talk to a security guard.
"I'm in the military. I wanted to get a picture with Gucci Mane, is it OK?"
the soldier said he asked the guard.
The alleged victim was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital and said he received 10 sti*ches. His security guard was being a di** that night in Harlem Nights he wouldn't even let me take a good picture of Gucci so I know he wasn't signing a autograph.

Break-ins and robberies occur more frequently than the majority of us wish to think. The United States leads the world in thefts-- one takes place about every 15 seconds. A surprising 30% of burglars get in homes through opened doors, windows or other openings without having to use force to obtain access. For those people who make certain to lock up, the chances of experiencing a burglary can still be uneasy to think about. The lengths that intruders will go to in order to get in a door can be pretty frightening, and one lady has actually decided to share her story in order to raise awareness about protection from burglary techniques.
Kim's Story
A female living in Texas called Kim Cernigliaro had a close call with burglars who were aiming to enter her home. She was home alone when she heard someone pounding on her front door Her instincts informed her that something was incorrect, so fortunately, she decided not to unlock. But when she peered through the stained glass in her door, she saw the shape of an unidentified guy standing outside.
Kim waited about Thirty Minutes prior to making a move, to make sure that her unexpected visitor was long gone. When she eventually opened her front door, she discovered an elastic band twisted around her doorknob. According to Kim's local Sheriff, this is type of behavior is being more frequently seen in robberies. Burglars position a rubber band around the door knob, enabling them to barge into your home as quickly as the home owner unlatches the door, without having to wait for the homeowner to actually turn the knob.
Kim shared her experience on Facebook in order to spread awareness, and her post went viral. With well over 150,000 shares on the popular social networks website, others have thanked her for sharing her story.
Knowing different methods that burglars take is necessary to staying safe.
Here are a few fundamental security tips that can help you make your house less attracting for intruders to target:
1. Don't Let Packages Accumulate
Leaving mail or disposed of items outside your home can offer burglars important info. If you're disappearing for a couple of days, ask a next-door neighbor or a pal to gather your mail for you and pick up the newspaper from your lawn, making sure intruders do not know the house is empty.
2. Show Home Security Signs
Consider purchasing a house security system. They can get expensive, so if it's not in the budget plan today, show a couple of house security signs in the front of your house so burglars will think you're safeguarded.
3. Make certain Your Home is Well-Lit
A dark home is the best target for intruders. Nobody will see them attempting to break in-- or running away with a stash of your possessions when they leave. If your house is well-lit with porch lights and yard lights, it will better prevent wrongdoers from targeting your house.
4. Conceal Your Valuables
A jewelry box is an instant go-to for intruders. If you desire to keep your belongings safe, keep them in less apparent places, and ensure they cannot be seen through a window.
5. Reinforce Your Doors
An unstable door makes it that much easier for intruders to obtain into your house. Enhance your doors and include more secure locks making sure that unwanted crooks avoid.

Renowned for its adventurous performances, Sō Percussion will present two groundbreaking contemporary works in its program, "Bringing Down the Stars and Moving Them Around," at Montclair State University's Alexander Kasser Theater, November 6 at 8 p.m. The concert, presented by Peak Performances @ Montclair, opens with Sō Percussion's performance of Cenk Ergün's Proximity, a work of haunting poetry commissioned by the ensemble in 2009. Special guests the Meehan/Perkins Duo will join Sō Percussion for Iannis Xenakis's 1979 polyrhythmic masterpiece Pléïades, a 45-minute work rarely performed in its entirety. While Ergün's work is reserved and ambient and Xenakis's loud and violent, both compositions share a similar architecture, exploring chaos and clarity.
About Sō Percussion
Eric Beach, Josh Quillen, Adam Sliwinski and Jason Treuting of Sō Percussion began creating music together at the Yale School of Music in 1999. Now based in Brooklyn, Sō Percussion has recorded music by renowned composers such as Steve Reich and David Lang, and original compositions by ensemble member Jason Treuting. The group's most recent album, released October 12, 2010, is Paul Lansky: Threads, a half-hour long cantata for percussion quartet written by Lansky for Sō Percussion in 2005.
In addition to traditional percussion instruments, the ensemble experiments with the glockenspiel, toy piano, vibraphones, bowed marimba and melodica, as well as unexpected odds and ends including tuned and prepared pipes, metals, duct tape, Ethernet ports and beer cans.
Sō Percussion has performed throughout the United States, with concerts at the Lincoln Center Festival, Carnegie Hall, The Brooklyn Academy of Music, Stanford Lively Arts and the Cleveland Museum of Art, among others. The group has toured in Russia, Australia, Italy, Germany, Spain and the Ukraine. In 2009, the first annual S! Percussion Summer Institute, a two-week chamber music seminar for college percussionists, was held at Princeton University.

NORTH NEWTON, KAN. -- Theater students at Bethel College in North Newton will present the comic play "The Importance of Being Earnest" by Oscar Wilde four times during the college's Fall Festival, Oct. 7-10. Director is Brent Noel, assistant professor of communication arts. Performances are set for 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 7 and 8, 3:30 p.m. on Oct. 9 and 2:00 p.m. on Oct. 10 in Krehbiel Auditorium of the Fine Arts Center on the Bethel College campus. Tickets are $10 for adults, $8 for students and adults 65 and older and $6.50 for children ages 3-12. All seats are reserved and sell-outs are expected. For tickets, call Thresher Bookstore ticket line at (316) 284-5281.
Featuring a cast of nine characters living in Victorian England, the play revolves around the name "Earnest," which both of the leading men claim as their own in attempts to win the hearts of two young ladies, both of whom insist they could only love a man if his name were Earnest. The plot swirls into a comic slurry of marriage proposals and discovered identities, concluding in the realization of "the vital importance of being earnest."
"At first glance the play is a cute little comedy," said Noel. "But if you take the time to look a little deeper, it becomes a biting indictment of imperial attitudes. The characters are so busy trying to project an image, trying to impress those around them, that they lose sight of who they really are."
The cast is Ben Gundy, senior from Bluffton, Ohio, as John Worthing; Aaron Linscheid, sophomore from North Newton, as Algernon Moncreiff; Andrew Findley, freshman from Lawrence, as Rev. Canon Chausuble, D.D.; Shawn Michael Rath, sophomore from Moundridge, as Merriman; Parker Jameson Stanley, sophomore from Liberty, Mo., as Lane; Bridget Kratzer, junior from North Newton, as Lady Bracknell; Rachel Combs, senior from Inman, as Hon. Gwendolyn Fairfax; Rachel Hetzke, junior from Pawnee Rock, as Cecily Cardew; and Caitlin Buerge, freshman from Kansas City, Mo., as Miss Prism.
Bethel College hosts its 34th annual Fall Festival Oct. 7-10. Other weekend activities on campus include food and entertainment for all ages, arts and crafts, alumni gatherings and athletic events.

Wildlife watching from the door to my front deck.
I'd been told that there were bighorn sheep in the cliffs up behind my home. And more than once I've heard them knocking rocks around up there as they move along the cliff face. And occasionally Penny will bark like a crazy dog at the cliffs, obviously hearing or seeing something I can't. But despite purchasing and using a set of binoculars last autumn, I haven't been able to see the animals up on the cliffs.
Until last week. That's when Penny's urgent barking caught my attention and I spotted three bighorn sheep — two adults and a yearling — in my neighbor's front yard. I rushed Penny into the RV to shut her up and grabbed my binoculars.
Unfortunately, I got more of an eyeful than I expected. Not only did I get a close look at one of the animals, but I also got a too close look at my neighbor, who'd come out stark naked to photograph them.
Life's different out here.
Today, more barking got my attention. And this time, when I rushed Penny into the RV, I grabbed my Nikon, 300mm lens, and monopod. Then I went into my unfinished building, climbed the stairs, and opened the door to my future front deck. I zoomed in on one of the animals grazing in the yard. Her head was down but I waited. No sense taking a picture of her back. After about a minute, I was rewarded. She popped her head up and looked right at me.
This isn't the only interesting animal we have around here. There are also golden and bald eagles and other birds of prey that I see daily. There are quail — which have youngsters right now — as well as robins, magpies, and hummingbirds. I hear owls but have never seen one here. There are coyotes, which I occasionally see but more often hear at night. There's elk and deer in the area, but I'm not sure if they ever make appearances near my home. And, of course, there are bull snakes and rattlesnakes.
It's nice to live in a place that's remote enough for wildlife viewing out my window without being too remove to take advantage of the conveniences a small city like Wenatchee has to offer. I really like it here — I only wish I'd moved here sooner.

Giving Gardens of Love
As Valentine's Day draws near, and with spring just a little over a month away, those of us who love gardening are being reminded of how much we love being among the flowers since all we are seeing are advertisements for bouquets, and receiving seed catalogs in the mail on a daily basis.
That got me to thinking about some garden inspired Valentine's gift ideas for those we love and I thought I'd share some of them here.
If weather permits, why not take a moonlight stroll through a fragrant garden and provide hot coffee or chocolate and dessert to warm up after you are done? Taking this idea even further, there are some botanical gardens that are offering special Valentine's Day events. For example, the San Diego Botanic Garden is offering a "Stroll through the Garden" package in the evening that includes champagne, gourmet appetizers, chocolate dipped strawberries, flowers, photographs, music and dancing.
Don't have an organized event near you? Then create your own using the same elements that they are for their special evening and go in your own backyard.
If you are a gardener and want to show someone how much they mean to you, consider installing an edible garden and provide them with year-round maintenance to give them a really meaningful gift. Or, give them personalized gardening "classes" showing them how to grow their own food themselves.
You can even incorporate ornamentals so that they can grow their own flowers for bouquets. If you provide maintenance including harvesting, during the season you can make up a bouquet for them weekly. Add a special cut flower garden and they will have more flowers than they know what to do with.
If you are not a gardener but your Valentine is, a thoughtful gift for after a hard day in the garden is to create a basket filled with soothing products such as gardener's hand lotion, soap, bubble bath, and candles. To make it even more romantic, run the bubble bath for them and include champagne, chocolate dipped strawberries and other favorite treats.
To continue the romance of your special night in the garden, or if the weather prevents you from going to a garden, give your Valentine a membership to the local botanic garden or arboretum . Many have great gift shops where you can find gardening gifts, toys, books, and plants, with the proceeds going directly to the garden.
For those times when they are out of their garden, give them gifts that allow them to visit or read about other gardens for both inspiration and renewal. Give them a basket with books on the world's great gardens such as 1001 Gardens You Must See Before You Die, or The Garden Conservancy's Open Days Directory, listing over 300 public and private gardens that are open for tours each year.

Lynx clip Silver Stars on late bucket
Whalen's clutch jumper, huge third quarter boost Minnesota to victory.
Updated 11:55 am, Monday, August 1, 2011
The setting and scenario on Sunday were everything that Silver Stars guard Jia Perkins expected.
The top two teams in the WNBA's Western Conference battled it out, the fans on their feet as the clock ticked down, waiting to celebrate a hard-fought victory for the home team.
Then Minnesota's Lindsay Whalen showed up and altered everything, draining a fadeaway baseline jumper over Jayne Appel with 1.5 seconds remaining as the Lynx nipped the Silver Stars 70-69 before 7,260 fans at the AT&T Center.
After a timeout, Becky Hammon missed a potential game-winning shot as time expired.
"I think a lot of people (have) been waiting for this game, the No. 1 and No. 2 teams, going head to head," said Perkins, who had a team-high 18 points. "It was an exciting game. We're not satisfied with the outcome, but we'll learn from this and move forward."
It was a punch-to-the-stomach type of lesson for the Silver Stars (11-6). One moment, they're a few seconds from earning a victory that would've moved them into first place in the West. The next, they're watching Whalen's rainbow jumper go down.

"It was a tough shot," Appel said of the game-winner by Whalen, who had 23 points, seven rebounds, six assists and four steals. "All you can do at that point is hope it didn't go in. There's not much more that I could've done. Sometimes you get them to fall, sometimes you don't."
In a game that had a playoff feel, the little things — not grabbing a loose ball, not boxing out or committing a late turnover — were what helped determine the outcome.
"It's tough to say it comes down to the last play, because there are a lot of things we could've done," said Appel, who had a team-high eight rebounds.
The third quarter and rebounding would probably be high on the Silver Stars' list of things they wish they could do over.
Minnesota (13-4), which equaled its win total from 2010 with Sunday's victory, outscored the Silver Stars 26-13 in the third period, including closing with a 10-0 run that turned a 55-46 deficit into a one-point lead.
The Lynx outrebounded the Silver Stars 13-3 in the third — 24-7 in the second half — and made 12 of 18 shots (66.7 percent).
"We didn't have a good third quarter," Silver Stars coach Dan Hughes said. "Our third quarter negated some of the gains we gained in the first half."
The Silver Stars (11-6), who hit the road for games against Seattle on Tuesday and Minnesota on Thursday, led 42-30 at halftime. They made 15 of 32 shots, including 5 of 10 3-pointers, and had a 15-7 edge in fast-break points.
Perkins had 12 points in the first half, and Sophia Young scored all 10 of her points in the opening 20 minutes. Hammon finished with 15 points, while Danielle Robinson contributed 10.
Minnesota, on the other hand, shot 37.8 percent in the first half and was led by Seimone Augustus, who totaled 10 of her 16 points in the first half.
But the Lynx turned it up after the intermission, outscoring the Silver Stars 40-27 to win their sixth straight game and increase their lead in the Western Conference to two games. They also shot 56.7 percent (17 of 30) after halftime, while limiting the Silver Stars to 31 percent (9 of 29).
"In the first half, we didn't feel like we really played liked ourselves," Whalen said. "In the second half, we stepped up."

stupid hippie
hippies will be the end of us all.nice flash though
better than I expected
the 4th in the series. I thought is would be like sad robot, which I was dreading, but it was more like angrybot. the part with the woodsman and the raccoon was stupid enough to make me smile. I need more hippie/new age parodies every once in a while.
That was a great movie. Not as good as the others though. I love the intro for every movie, its soo, professional like. Graphics as usual are fantastic. Really well animated too. Sounds were very nice. I really liked this one, just not as much as the others. Excellent work man. Keep it up!
They're still good...
They aren't that impressive alone, but as a series 'We Are Robots' is ace. This ain't as good as the first two, but still worth watching...
Great movie
best part of this one was the appearance by angrybot he's the best one yet you should make an angry bot 2 or just try to put him in more We are the robots movies

Tony McCoy had another of those difficult choices to face ahead of Saturday's big betting race, the Stewart Family Gold Cup at Cheltenham. JP McManus, his main employer, has three runners, two with obvious chances, and the jockey has plumped for Colour Squadron but it must have been a tricky call and Cantlow (2.25) may make him regret it.
Colour Squadron ran second in last month's Paddy Power, a similar race, and may even have been unlucky, as a horse fell in front of him at the second-last. He comes from the in-form Philip Hobbs yard, which has averaged a winner a day at a 33% strike-rate over the past fortnight.
But I hate to back horses like Colour Squadron, who seems talented but awkward and has a big reputation, despite never having won over fences and being on a two-year losing streak. I don't require a horse to have won last time out but there is no downside to Cantlow's having landed a good race at Newbury a fortnight ago.
That was a fulfilling moment for all concerned, as he has always looked like making a fine chaser, progressed well as a novice through the last season but proved very disappointing on his reappearance. He must have needed that but stuck on powerfully at Newbury and it is not clear that Easter Meteor or Grandioso, the placed horses, will be able to turn the form around with pulls of just a few pounds.
Of course, that was Grandioso's first run of the season and it looked like a sighter, so we can surely expect better things. Paul Nicholls was bubbling with confidence about him on Monday and he is not at all a bad bet at 7-1. But Cantlow is 12-1 and that looks the value.
1.50 Cheltenham This looks strong but Kings Palace may be a cut above. His performance to win by 18 lengths at the October meeting here was something else and the form looks good. The runner-up was Creepy, who won a Grade Two next time, while the third was Monbeg Dude, who won the big handicap chase here on Friday.
2.05 Doncaster A winner at November's Cheltenham meeting, Royal Irish Hussar has enough talent to suggest this will be a rare appearance on a card other than the main one. Some of his rivals here have considerable scope but it will be a major surprise if they can trouble him. Broughton was a Glorious Goodwood winner for Mark Johnston and now makes his hurdles debut for John Ferguson, so he may be useful but he will need to be.
3.00 Cheltenham A reprise of the thrilling battle between Zarkandar and The New One from Aintree in April. The market clearly expects The New One to turn around the half-length by which he was beaten, the three-furlong shorter trip seeming in his favour, but that may be a lazy assumption. Zarkandar was certainly made to look slow by Annie Power on his return at Ascot but he was giving 11lb to that highly rated mare and will be hard to beat if making the same step forward that others from the Paul Nicholls yard have made on their second runs of the season. This race takes place on Cheltenham's New Course, which puts a lot more accent on stamina than the Old Course on which Zarkandar has been beaten in two Champion Hurdles.
3.15 Doncaster Bear's Affair has been given time to find his feet over fences but is doing so and now tries a handicap over the larger obstacles. While he still has something to prove, it is a surprise to see him on the same mark as when he hacked up over hurdles at Aintree at this time last year and he is a most interesting runner.
3.35 Cheltenham Jonjo O'Neill's yard has gone badly off the boil since More Of That was an impressive handicap winner at Haydock three weeks ago. If able to show his best, he would be the one to side with, but that seems in doubt. Gemix has great talent but this sound racing surface will be most unfamiliar. Glens Melody looks the pick, having been beaten only by her stablemate Annie Power in her last five starts.

For what it's worth, there is some mechanism for this: TOOL_DEPENDS, which I added last year for cross-compilation support. See, e.g., x11/libxcb for an example. Whether this is appropriate for a GHC bootstrap I don't know, but it may be worth investigating.
