so Demolisher is a stand alone Decepticon
wtf is that?
Well DUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHH
durrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
"DEMOLISHER: One of the Constructicons that transform into construction vehicles."
These seven robots — Scavenger, Scrapper, Hightower, Longhaul, Rampage, Overload and Mixmaster — transform into construction machinery, but also link up with one another to form one gigantic robot stomper named Devastator."
Too bad they spelled "Demolisher" as "Demolishor".
Now, which one is it? :lol
"Our remedies oft in ourselves do lie, which we ascribe to Heaven".
Damn, but okay, I can take that. Why Demolishor and not Demolisher?What's the difference?.
That pic of Ravage is soooo coooool!! It is Ravage, right?
Where did they got it? Oh, never mind.
yes, its ravage
The difference is the spelling. I know the bot is cool, but any and all companies, no matter what business they´re in, are very particular about spelling especially if they´re gonna pursue a TM for their "creation", which leads me to think twice about everything I see that is double named. Sorry....
"Our remedies oft in ourselves do lie, which we ascribe to Heaven".
this is ravage:
Dude... I know Ravage.
It was supposed to be a joke
"Our remedies oft in ourselves do lie, which we ascribe to Heaven".
oh ok.....*hits head w/ fork*
so there are 2 now.....
when the rumor of the Constucticons first came out they said there would be 7 and two of them would be Dumptrucks. Long Haul and Overload. Overload was ment to be the back piece of Devs. If you look back at the render that was leaked of Devs you can clearly see on his back there is another piece conected who is Yellow.
Ok some one answer me this that list doesnt look like 60 robots at all and correct me if im wrong who the f is the doctor, thats a gi joe charater , and where is megatron in that list i believe that this list is a fake any thoughts
Name: Dragonhide (ironhides brother)
Alt: Toyota Tundra Crewmax Custom - Color:Green
Faction: Autobot (lone wolf) - Weapons: Hand to hand combat specialist/Recon
The "Doctor" I believe is a insecticon that goes by the name Scalpel. As for the rest of the list I think they are still trying to hold back some information. So there will still be some suprises.
Name: Battlebot
Faction: Dark Guardian/Decepticon
Alt Mode:Tank/Shuttle
this is scalpel:
Yeah, what happen to the 60 bots. Let alone 40?

Apple's Daring Leap Into The All Digital Future
Kathy RebelloApple Computer Inc. Chairman John Sculley has a knack for viv id imagery. His latest: For personal-computer makers, "the 1990s are a cold shower." After a decade of 30% and 40% annual gains in shipments, growth has slowed to a 7% annual stroll. Instead of awaiting the next sales boon from some whizzy new technology, most PC makers are trying to streamline quickly enough to turn a profit next quarter.
Apple has been more successful than most at figuring out how to prosper in this environment. It has slashed costs and, thanks to a series of hot-selling Macintoshes, has increased market share while maintaining profits, despite far lower retail prices. Still, Sculley says Apple's future will be severely limited unless it moves beyond personal computers. "I was concerned Apple didn't have a sustainable business in the '90s that was very exciting," he says. "We would still be around, but nobody would care."
The solution? Apple isn't going to be just a personal-computer maker. Sixteen years after helping to pioneer the industry, Apple plans to move beyond it--to become a global electronics holding company overseeing multiple businesses. Sculley's vision for 2000 and beyond is of a vast market taking shape as all sorts of information is converted into digital form. Everything from high-definition TV pictures to local phone calls will be reduced to the zeros and ones that computers already use. Sculley is betting that when that happens, several industries will converge into a $3 trillionmegamarket (chart, page 122). His goal is to grab an early lead by using Apple's renowned ability to paint a user-friendly face on complex digital machines.
SNEAK PREVIEW. Sculley says the company will build and sell consumer electronics, all sorts of software, telecommunications devices, and, oh yes, computers. As computer technology invades everything from TVs to electronic newspapers, the list may grow. "We won't get into mainframes or PBXs, and we won't print telephone books," says Chief Operating Officer Michael H. Spindler. "From there on, everything is possible."
The first machine to test Sculley's new strategy will make its debut on May 29 at the summer Consumer Electronics Show in Chicago. Apple will use this sprawling showcase to take the wraps off a gadget code-named Newton. At its most basic, it's an electronic Filofax that helps track appointments, phone numbers, and addresses. It's a bit like Sharp Electronics Corp.'s Wizard. But it also recognizes hand printing, has a built-in fax and data modem, and runs faster than any handheld organizer.
The product won't be on store shelves until January, 1993, and analysts don't expect significant sales until the mid-1990s. But it's the start of the new Apple that Sculley says will include not only consumer electronics but digital communications. Telecommunications, he predicts, will be as important to Apple in the 1990s as the Mac's graphics technology was in the 1980s.
To prepare, Apple is undergoing what Sculley calls the most important transformation in its history. Sculley and Spindler are moving Apple from a one-product company with a simple distribution system to a multibusiness conglomerate that will sell new types of products through new channels to new customers. Some of these businesses, such as consumer electronics, have radically different cost structures and product cycles than Apple is used to. To manage the change, Apple has broken itself into new divisions (table), subsidiaries, and joint ventures. Each has been told to think and act like an independent company, hungry for sales and profits.
Lawrence Tesler, vice-president of the Advanced Products group, is known around Apple as the father of Newton. David Nagel is acting general manager of the new division launching it. To share the costs of development, Apple in the past year has forged partnerships with former rival IBM as well as with two Japanese technology giants: Sharp, which will build the Newton, and Sony Corp., which now builds some of Apple's PowerBook portable Macintoshes.
Sculley is also busy courting potential partners in Japan and Hollywood. In Tinseltown, Sculley says he is building relationships with entertainment, media, and publishing companies that have programming for Apple's new gadgets. "These industries are going to bump into each other, so it's important to start building relationships today," he says. One example is Apple's recent deal with Random House to put an electronic version of the Modern Library books on PowerBook portables.
Handling all this will be tricky for a company with Apple's history of whipsaw changes in management and strategy. Since 1985, when Sculley threw out co-founder Steven P. Jobs, the company seems to have a new strategy with each new year. "Over time, they haven't really managed their business well," says analyst Michele Preston of Cowen & Co., "although they have in the past two years."
Many in the industry applaud Apple's vision but remain unconvinced that the company can carry it out. "Apple might be getting too scattered," says Reese M. Jones, president of Farallon Computing Inc., which makes networking software. "It's a very difficult strategy," says Bernard R. Gifford, an Apple vice-president who left in March to start a software company. "But I don't see an alternative."
Nor does Sculley. He got his wake-up call in 1990 when Apple's strategy of charging top dollar for Macintoshes began to unravel. The Mac's easy-to-use graphics were no longer unique, and customers balked at paying Apple prices. The long-term trend in PCs became clear: less differentiation, lower margins, and slower growth.
Sculley quickly cleared out top management, bringing in Spindler, the former head of Apple Europe, to run day-to-day operations. The CEO took over research and development and turned up the heat. In October, 1990, the low-cost Macintosh Classic and LC arrived and were instant hits. In October, 1991, they were followed by the PowerBook notebooks, also hits.
Lower prices fueled record shipments. Desktop Macs now account for 19% of PCs sold through U.S. computer dealers, up from 11% in 1990, according to StoreBoard Channel Tracking. In notebooks, Apple has gone from nowhere to a 21% market share--second only to Compaq Computer Corp.--in just two quarters. In fiscal 1991, ended Sept. 30, revenues climbed 14%, to $6.3 billion. But a $224 million charge for restructuring and laying off 1,500 employees cut profits by 35%, to $309.8 million. Now, the lower cost structure is paying off: In the March quarter, Apple profits increased 3%, to $135.1 million, on a 7% revenue gain, to $1.7 billion.
KILLERS ALL. With the payoff from such products as Newton far off, Apple still needs growth from existing products. So the Mac Hardware Div. must churn out more hit Macs--and do so faster while keeping costs down. The goal: In 1993, new products are due every six months instead of once a year, says General Manager G. Fred Forsyth. This fall comes a Classic with a CD-ROM drive, followed by a color Classic next year.
To keep up that pace, Forsyth has broken his division into small units, each with its own budget. For the first time, engineers weigh in on business decisions, helping analyze what products to tackle or abandon. "They actually kill their own products now," Forsyth says.
To get the most out of the slowing PC market, Apple has also lifted some old taboos, such as the one against selling Apple technology for IBM-compatible PCs. Last month, it began shipping laser printers and scanners that work with PC clones. It's even writing software for Microsoft Corp.'s Windows, the graphics "environment" over which Apple is fighting a bitter copyright-infringement suit. A Windows version of the Mac's QuickTime video software is due out any day. The company is already rewriting parts of the Mac software for other computers and is weighing the risks of doing so for IBM-compatible PCs.
All this has Wall Street smiling. Sales of printers and scanners for IBM PCs and clones may generate $200 million in sales, and selling Mac software for other computers could add $100 million, says analyst Charles Wolf of First Boston Corp. That's not huge, but software is highly profitable--80% gross margins, vs. 44% for Macintoshes. Analysts now expect Apple revenues to jump 16% this fiscal year, to $7.3 billion. Similar growth is expected in 1993.
But even the most bullish Wall Street analysts aren't ready to predict how things will shape up in 1994, when Sculley's new strategy will start to play out. Afalysts were enthusiastic about the Newton when Sculley and Spindler showed off a prototype on May 6. They estimate that Apple will sell 250,000 Newtons in 1993, generating just $125 million, but predict that "personal electronics" sales could double in 1994, when Apple adds more handheld gadgets. "The issue is execution," says Bruce Lupatkin of Hambrecht & Quist Inc. "Apple has wonderful opportunities. They have only themselves to blame if they fail."
Nobody knows that better than Sculley. He describes his ambitious plan as a leap from "the sandbox to the beach." If he fails, Apple's future will be circumscribed by the limits of the personal-computer market. And the 1990s will remain a long, cold shower.

Ready for change? Let's Get StartedFairfield, Connecticut 06824
I offer gentle support and comfort for my clients at a pace that they can tolerate. My clients have expressed to me that my ability to listen empathetically has allowed them the time to process the devastation and loss they've witnessed. People who've experienced death or divorce may feel angry, depressed, empty, and/or alone. I take time with them to respect these feelings, and do not prescribe ways they "should" be feeling. Grief is different for all, some experience it as a sudden event while others witness gradual decline of a loved one, both can still feel numb or raw. Perspective clients can call or email me to begin a dialogue; we determine then if proceeding is right for you.

Grief and loss are experienced when we lose someone significant in our lives. Grief and loss can also be experienced when a special relationship ends, when a hope or dream is dashed or when we find ourselves in a situation we cannot cope with. Each of us has a different way of coping, and some appear to do better than others. So how do we know if we need help? Are there days you really struggle? Is it affecting your relationship with others?. Have you lost zeal for life? Do you find you can't talk to people you know about your pain? I will listen. With compassion and support I will help you find your inner strength to endure and grow from your sadness.

A wise photo editor once said that sometimes the most interesting photos don't happen at the football game. They happen in the parking lot. It's easy to get caught up in the action and forget that everything surrounding the action can be just as revealing.
Case in point is Philip Scott Andrews' ongoing photo series Last Days, which documents the end of NASA's Space Shuttle program. For three years Andrews has had unprecedented access to the Kennedy Space Center, and he's made good use of it by capturing a side of this facility the public is not used to seeing.
"A lot of people when they hear NASA they think about guys in white lab coats," Andrews says. "The astronauts are fascinating, but there are only a couple of them, and then there are thousands of workers who are making this possible."
The historic program, officially titled the Space Transportation System (STS), performed its last launch, the Atlantis shuttle, on July 8, 2011. The program's vehicles, the only winged aircraft to ever enter orbit and return for multiple uses, are now being decommissioned and placed in museums for future generations to experience.
It seems appropriate to capture the passing of this iconic era of human scientific achievement in Andrews' grainy black and white, a choice he made explicitly for its timeless quality. Andrews' dad was a photography consultant for the aerospace industry and, like many people from his generation, was profoundly moved by the achievements of NASA.
"The Space Shuttle has a lot of symbolism for what this country used to be and for what we were able to produce in-house," he says. "I wanted this to be my love song to the space age, if that's not too cheesy to say."
Instead of perseverating on the few remaining launches, Andrews wanted to reacquaint the U.S. with the scope of its achievement by turning his camera toward the program's more everyday moments and characters.
"A big problem with the Space Shuttle was that it became too consistent," he says. "The American people stopped seeing it as a difficult task. They made it so ordinary that it lost its sense of adventure."
By forcing people to re-see all that goes into maintaining and launching a shuttle, Andrews helps get at the heart of something that truly changed the country as we know it. Something he thinks we need to achieve again today.
"I think that projects like [the space program] make us a better country," Andrews says. "Whether it's going to the moon or achieving energy independence, these projects always lead to research and discoveries that we can't even estimate now."

Whether or not you believe this stuff, its pretty easy to test it yourself as long as youve got a bit of willpower, or you arent addicted to porn
Whether or not you believe this stuff, its pretty easy to test it yourself as long as youve got a bit of willpower, or you arent addicted to porn
But I'm still confused what's going on. I've watched all the movies and read all over the site. Still not get it.
40 hours in.
Oh god I feel like I need to touch my willy.
3 more days.
I can't concentrate no more.
30 hours here.
Well, I will not give up my porn but I can cut down to 1-2 days a week as a start. Won't be the biggest change but I'll see how I feel.
I'm at about 30 hours as well - and I have to go to work in an hour. It's manual labor, so I'll be able to get through it with any luck.
might do this, i noticed i used to get a lot more action with girls before i was fapping everyday. I guess i'm just no longer horny enough to deal with all the bullshit that women give you in life haha
I don't use porn daily so I guess I'm not addicted? To be honest I doubt I will receive any benefits except maybe 30 free minutes where I'm not acting suspicious for one day in a week - here goes. I am already 3 days since last porn.
Bahaha exactly
Yeah hopefully I'll feel more obligated to pick up a girl to satisfy me instead of going home to porn every night
hahhahaha good joke
Well giving it a new try, was kind a joke the first time So I hope I get away from the fail list
Wow, can't believe it. I've deleted all my porn, 140gb, gone.
Alright I guess I'll try it out.
Count me in, but I'm doing it for my own specific personal reasons and not for anything else.
24 hours down
I could easily go for more than two weeks without masturbating or watching porn before I began this reboot. So I don't think I really was an addict in the first place, because after a week now I feel no need to watch any porn or anything.
I'm in.
Anyone know of a way to disable Google Chrome's Incognito mode? Temptation is a bitch.
I'm in.
Haven't fapped in 3 days. Lots of pent up desires. MUST FIGHT IT.
Some kind of ranking in the OP for the people who try would be cool.
(1 day 2 days 1 week 2 weeks... You get the idea)
Would consume much time thought.
The best advice I can give to resist is to just do something. Schoolwork, video games, a hobby, friends, whatever, you know?
So can I still have sex?
I guess this is it; no porn of any kind ever again.
Inb4 porn industry collapses.
also working out really kills your sex drive. So when you think you cant take it anymore do pushups or run until it dies down.
I am attempting this as well. Count me in.
I'm mostly trying this because of the major time waster watching porn has become. I sometimes do nothing but jack off for like 6 hours straight. Not good.
Maybe if you don't regularly workout. The testosterone boost from regular workout would increase libido overall. But, yeah you could do something exhausting to simmer down
Hoyl shit that is a lot of time, good on you
This guy's medical specialization is Medical Massage. (Yeah, it's him, address matches WHOIS record)
He's neither a neuroscientist, nor has he studied psychology or psychiatry.
Hmm, I also found an interesting thing
The author of this book is married to Gary Wilson
"With her husband Gary Wilson, who taught anatomy and physiology for years and is a neuroscience enthusiast,"
Again, I'm still gonna continue this regardless of his classifications, as I feel life without all this porn is better for me and could probably help with relationships.
A few things to consider for everyone in the thread/ taking up the challenge:-
If you're still craving for porn after not masturbating for a while, did you really fix anything?
If you're still craving for beer for years after 'beating alcoholism', did you really fix anything?
If you're still craving for cake after not being a fatty, did you really fix anything?
I'm going to try as well. I have no idea if I'll succed, but it won't kill me and the benefits seem huge.
I haven't fapped for about 24 hours already so I'm of to a good start vv
With perseverence you can change your brain addictions, unless it's pathological, such as obesity that runs by genes.
Alcohol and porn aren't pathologic. You just have an increased expression of dopamine receptors on your nerve endings, so you always need more and more stimulus to get excited and to relieve cravings.
It then starts to ge physiological. And it's really hard to stop, like in the case of using heroin, as an example, bear in mind.
Don't compare heroin to porn, it was an example. All I'm saying is that if you crave porn/masturbation 1 time a week it's okay. Daily it's already pushing the limit, go work out.
Dumbed the explication down for people to understand. I'm an actual medical student.
Porn isn't hard to quit. I just picture previous sexual situations that happened in real life. [strike]I'll start on friday because I'll be high as fuck.[/strike]
Scratch that, just jacked off. Now I begin. Put me down. No masturbation or anything.
Thanks for the information
Oh god. I kept all my porn pics right in my downloads folder, had to wander through and selectively control click each one in order to delete them, t'was like walking on a minefield.
Survived day one!
Oh man, OP sure has conned him some grade A suckers.
You can drop addictions authentically and permanently in a second if you figure out causality.
That's why I advocate that instead of putting huge amounts of effort into what amounts to nothing more than covering up symptoms.
This is actually true. Whenever I whack it the next day I am tired and can't concentrate as well.
yeah i bet hes making heaps of money off it...
do you even know what "conned" means?
Sign me up
Shit, I already lost. Sorry.

Words. Words are part of our every day life, whatever our language, creed or background. Words have power that little else can match; they can make you happy or make you weep with sadness, they can cause great pain or, alternatively inspire great courage. Where will words take you? What will you do with them? What will you feel? This collection of poetry essentially consists of two sections: Hindsight, which mainly pertains to aspects of the First World War, including humour. It is nor just for readers with military interest and, although the main message is Remembrance, it is also relevant to anyone, everyone who has experienced laughter, grief, irony, hope in adversity and the strength of human friendship. Explanations discuss historic detail referred to within the poems. The second section, 'Words' contains verse on other subjects, from Hamlet spoofs to and ode about Scotland. All works, illustrations included , are the original work of the author
"Mother, what's that gate for? It's stone, and big, and strong. It's got so many names on— The list is very long. On top of it's a lion And beneath the arch does play A man upon a bugle— So sad—What does it say? That tune, it makes me shiver And read those names once more. O Mother, please do tell me: What is that big gate for?"
"I'll tell you what that gate's for," Mother thoughtfully replied. "It's a monument to your daddy And all his mates who died. Some, well, they couldn't find them See—those are all their names— Came up this road to go to war, And ne'er came home again. They fought and died like Daddy So many, many more… And so we don't forget them, That's what that big gate's for."
(Hamlet 3,1 )
To sneeze, or not to sneeze, that is the question Whether 't is nobler in the mind to suffer The sniffs and bellows of the latest 'Flu bug Or inhale 'Vicks' against a sea of snuffles Then by a blowing end them…
To breathe, to sleep, not snore; And by a sniff today we tend The earache and the thousand gradual coughs The chest is heir to. 'T is some medication devoutly to be wished. To blow? To sniff? To sniff perchance to breathe; ay, there's the rub! For in that whiff of breath, what relief may come When we have snuffled in this awful toil Must give us sores…. There's the respect That requires a hanky of so soft a ply
…Who would harsh ones bear When he might his quietus make with a Kleenex tissue? But for the red noses after this The un-reliev-ed cough, from whose croak No voice returns, muffles the throat And makes us rather bear those pills we have Than try those cures we know not of…
Born in 1977 in Norfolk, England, the author started writing aged eight and had their first publication at the age of 17, after a visit to the battlefields of France and Flanders and is called 'Now Poppies Grow' - it is included in the collection.
This book is in two parts: the first, 'Hindsight,' is dedicated to all who fought in the conflict of 1914-1918, the second, 'Words' contains 'normal' poems, written over the years for various reasons. Sometimes the verses just come, sometimes they are produced for people who have asked for a piece on a particular subject
"Why do I write about the War? The reason is in itself simple. I believe people should not forget what happened, that we should have learnt so much from it. Unfortunately, that's something us humans rarely manage:- taking the lessons left by those who "went before."

Adam Lambert thinks Kris Allen is cute – and Kris is nothing but grateful about the compliment.
What was Lambert's reaction after being told he was pairing up with Allen on the show? "'Oh, s–t, they put me with the cute guy.' Distracting!" he says in his upcoming Rolling Stone interview. "He's the one guy that I found attractive in the whole group on the show: nice, nonchalant, pretty and totally my type — except that he has a wife. I mean, he's open-minded and liberal, but he's definitely 100 percent straight."
"I'm flattered," Allen told People. magazine about Lambert's quip. "And think it's hilarious."
Both Idols -along with the rest of the top ten contestants – will embark on the 'Idol Live' tour kicking off July 5th in Portland, Oregon.

5 out of 5 stars Breast Augmentation
Amazing! Love My Results! - Riverside, CA
Dr. Hardesty and his staff will make you feel welcome everytime you come into their office and Dr. Hardesty is just a fun, happy person to be around. I am so glad I was reccommended to him, and I would reccommend him to everyone in need of plastic surgery. I had the best experience with Dr. Robert Hardesty and his staff! They are all so sweet and caring and Dr. Hardesty is so calm and reassuring. This was my first ever surgery and I was terrified of having the operation and having something go wrong and Dr. Hardesty understood my fears and made me feel completely comfortable and safe. I couldn't have asked for a better plastic surgeon!!! I would reccommend him to everyone! I also have had laser hair removal in his office and that has had amazing results as well! Dr. Hardesty and his staff are all amazing! They are sweet, loving and completely caring about you! Thank you!

From 32A to 383cc silicone. Post op day 7- new pics!
LOVE HIM! Wow- what an amazing doctor. I am a nurse and was referred by a friend that had her surgery done by him and she could not think of any better things to say about him! So i just had to do my first consult with him. And when I did- I felt like I was set on him- he is absolutely amazing!! I did end up doing another consultation- but it was nooothing like Dr. Hardesty and his helpful staff. So I ultimately chose him =) And if you are looking for a great doctor- I promise you that you will not be disatisfied!

6 wks PO, wish i would of gone bigger!!! 495 cc
Dr Hardesty is the sweetest most caring and humble Doctor I've ever had. He has this happy and bubbly personality yet he's extremely professional and made me feel so comfortable. Once I found him on the internet I didn't feel the need to shop for another surgeon, and I was even more sold when I met him person. He even gave me his cell phone #, and told me to call him incase I had any issues. Not only that, he also called me the night before to give me last minute instructions and to calm my nerves. Right before surgery he said a prayer with my husband and I. His whole staff and the staff at the surgery center were all so sweet and caring. I'm 1 day post op and I feel.great! One more thing, today Saturday was his day off and he had us meet him at his office just to make sure everything is going good! I will see him soon for a little botox ;) thank you Dr. Hardesty, you have changed my life.

Dr. Hardesty is Amazing! - Riverside, CA
Loma Linda nurses referral. I've been a hairstylist for over 10 years and asked a few of my nurses that worked at Loma Linda who they would recommend as a good Plastic Surgeon and they all said Dr. Hardesty. This was amazing to me considering these clients worked in different departments and didn't know each other. Being at Loma Linda for so many years was impressive to me since it's considered one of the most prestigious hospitals. I later found out that his brother is also a Physician there. I've gotten a few procedures done and would never consider anyone else. He did a beautiful job and he and his staff were very helpful and thorough. This was especially important to me since you hear of some many bad experiences. Since I've seen him I've referred several of my friends and family in which they have had the same positive outcome as mine. I promise you won't be disappointed!

Dr. Hardesty has been my surgeon since 1996, he has performed many surgeries reconstructive , as well as elective on me. From 1996 to 2006, i had 1 to 2 surgeries a year, and each time i trusted Dr. Hardesty for the surgery to be a success, and it was.I have always felt confident with his knowledge, and have always felt well respected by him and his staff i recommend Dr. Hardesty to anyone who is looking to have any enhancements, and i thank him for all his care :)

Simply Amazing - Riverside, CA
When I was originally searching for a surgeon there were a ton of cheaper (questionable) places but I knew that this was something that you just don't skimp on! Now looking back it was the best decision to go with a Dr. that came so highly recommended as he did! He was not only fantastic the first surgery but even more so 8 years later.
5 out of 5 stars Facelift
Dr. Robert A. Hardesty, Plastic Surgeon - Riverside, CA
After having had a very bad experience with a reputable Costa Mesa plastic surgeon who botched a revised rhinoplasty, liposuction and scar revision, I decided that I would find the best plastic surgeon in California. I interviewed ten plastic surgeons. I drove to Beverly Hills, Costa Mesa, Irvine, Marina Del Rey, Fontana, and Temecula. Then by some miracle Dr. Hardesty was referred to me by a patient of his. He was the tenth plastic surgeon that I interviewed. And he will be the only plastic surgeon I would ever go to. Dr. Hardesty is HIGHLY TALENTED WITH EXTREME PROFICIENCY, AN EXPERT IN HIS FIELD. DR. HARDESTY IS THE BEST PLASTIC SURGEON I HAVE EVER MET!!!! He revised my nose, he revised my bad thigh liposuction from two previous plastic surgeons, and he revised my scar on my face. Just recently on May 13th I had Dr. Hardesty performed a face lift, neck lift, under eye lift, brow lift, injected my facial creases and lips with my own fat taken from my abdomen. In my opinion Dr. Hardesty has taken at least fifteen years off my face. He is a true artist. My husband was looking at me a few days ago and said to me that I was lucky to have found HIM. I did not want to make that same mistake ever again. Dr. Hardesty has demonstrated to me that he truly cares and is concerned about me as a person; he is honest, loving and most of all very capable of correcting the most difficult problem.

Iowa's first pediatric cancer center opened at Blank Children's Hospital in 1987 - concentrating all phases of pediatric cancer diagnosis and treatment in one unique area. Expanding upon that concept in 1991, the John Stoddard Cancer Center opened at Iowa Methodist Medical Center, a significant new milestone. It was the first cancer center in central Iowa to house all radiation oncology and ancillary services in one location. The new facility centralized all outpatient oncology services in one area while conveniently locating them by the inpatient services offered at Iowa Methodist Medical Center. This progressive concept was a result of our long-standing commitment to meet the changing needs of the patients and families we serve.
The John Stoddard Cancer Center will provide compassionate, quality, comprehensive care for our patients and their families.
The John Stoddard Cancer Center will be the premier cancer center in the Midwest by providing fully integrated programs and services. This will be accomplished through the use of:
The result will be an extraordinary patient and family experience.

TOLEDO, OH - This is the newly released surveillance video of a New Years Day incident.
25-year-old Melodi Dushane drove up to the window about 6:30 a.m. with her neighbor.
She ordered McNuggets but was told she could not get them because they started serving breakfast at 2:30.
(Excerpt) Read more at wwltv.com ...
Hell, that pic could be her album cover.
Another Obama voter?
What did she do? Actually find out there was no chicken in those McNuggets? I heard when she had them tested they were 97% Amoxicillian which was given to the chickens ...
She should have bought a happy meal.
Is this an old story or is that the same methhead chick that went berzerk on a previous occasion?
You have to be pretty dumb not to get "McNuggets."
I prefer the chicken selects.
They don't serve those in the morning, either.
People actually eat that stuff?
I wouldn't feed it to my dog.
Dang, them nuggets must be good.
She thought she was getting Chicken MethNuggets.
This is the old story, newly released video.
Just wait until she goes to the doc under obamacare and can't get orthopoedic surgery!
I always tell my kids hot-dogs are nothing but chicken beaks and feet, thanks for the photo, looks like it's true ;)
In a country with this kind of culture, an economic depression is going to be very violent indeed.
Fortunately, it is mostly (or is it "always") women acting out in this way. They are pretty harmless as long as they are not using sharp objects or something that spews high velocity lead projectiles.
She should have gone to the Jack in the box. You can get any item on their menu any time of the day.
I'm a bojangles fan myself, I like getting their breakfast sandwiches any time of the day.
Most people don't realize it, but there is no chicken in McDonald's Chicken McNugget products.
It's actually a chicken flavored batter, that hardens to a chewy chicken like substance.
During the process the product is spray with real chicken juice to give it that authentic taste and smell.
That's her booking photo. She was drunk....
A person like this, who cannot exercise rational judgment, or gauge the gravity of her crime, needs being taken to an open place, and shot.
Such scum will always be a potent threat to the rest of society.
I am so glad I don't work retail anymore. You are just doing your job, and some complete idiot comes along, and you have to deal with it.
The best part is when the car behind her pulls up and they hand him his food like nothing happened.
I call BS. According to McDonald's, Chicken McNuggets are made entirely of white meat chicken.
If I had been working the drive thru window, I do believe that I would have kicked her McAss.
"White boneless chicken, water, food starch-modified, salt, seasoning (autolyzed yeast extract, salt, wheat starch, natural flavoring (botanical source), safflower oil, dextrose, citric acid, rosemary), sodium phosphates, seasoning (canola oil, mono- and diglycerides, extractives of rosemary). Battered and breaded with: water, enriched flour (bleached wheat flour, niacin, reduced iron, thiamin mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid), yellow corn flour, food starch-modified, salt, leavening (baking soda, sodium acid pyrophosphate, sodium aluminum phosphate, monocalcium phosphate, calcium lactate), spices, wheat starch, whey, corn starch. Prepared in vegetable oil (Canola oil, corn oil, soybean oil, hydrogenated soybean oil with TBHQ and citric acid added to preserve freshness). Dimethylpolysiloxane added as an antifoaming agent. CONTAINS: WHEAT AND MILK"
Hip-hop culture...stunting American maturity since 1980 or so.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
That was years ago...It was 100 percent chicken, then 42 percent, now it's zero. However, the chicken juice does contain trace amounts of real chicken product.
Its actually a chicken flavored batter, that hardens to a chewy chicken like substance.
During the process the product is spray with real chicken juice to give it that authentic taste and smell.
Scratch 'n Sniff McNuggets?
She looks like she (and anyone she's had "contact" with) could definitely use it.
I tried those and almost gagged.
Yes, folks, here you see the horrible result of the insidious fast food addiction.
And McNuggets are only ONE of the gateway drugs to an ever more degrading spiral of addiction.
You start out on mother's milk, move on to twinkies, and McNuggets and the next thing you know, you have lost your cultural roots and are shouting, "Yo Quiero Taco Bell" and the reconquista is assured.
Oh, woe to the children. Only Michelle can lead the way to a better diet of Argula, brussel sprouts, cauliflower... and whatever veggies Spain is featuring this week.
I am so glad I dont work retail anymore. You are just doing your job, and some complete idiot comes along, and you have to deal with it.
Years ago, I had a guy (to whom we had issued a check for the product he returned) want to duke it out with me because the on the check we had inverted 2 letters of his last name.
I suggested he take it to the bank branch there in the mall and deposit/cash it, as he saw fit.
We had to call security.
The anti-foaming agents are added in an effort to keep the chicken flavored batter from bloating or swelling too much during processing. This is done just prior to spraying the McNuggets with the chicken juice.
Please run for President.
white boneless chicken is the first (primary) ingredient.
what am I missing here?
And her regular supplement of Kobe beef.
What a b!tch. Apparently she isn't someone not used to getting her own way.
Amazing how the McD's worker coolly hands off the order to the next customer.
Anyone remember the menu she and the One ate for an afternoon snack at the Waldorf Astoria?
Don't remember if it was during the campaign or on one of their quickie 'dates' to New York for dinner and a show.
The drive thru worker did grab her hair and yank it.
I think I know the guy... Was his name is Mike Dubmass?

I would like to take that data, which is offloaded to an unblocked dataset, and copy it to a fixed-blocked dataset. When I view the data from ISPF 3.4 the records viewed don't exceed 161 bytes. What is the best way to accomplish this task?
Back in the VERY old days, one used to do all this sort of thing via the IEBGENER utility. However, when I need to alter record length or otherwise do reblocking operations, I use the MVS (or VM) PIPE command. This runs quite happily natively in JCL, or the TSO Environment, and you can very easily plonk this operation inside a Rexx Exec, If you look at one of my SupportPacs (that one to do with EXCI linkage to Batch), you will see an example of how to use Pipes in a complex fashion. Here is some simple JCL which will suit: //RUN EXEC PGM=PIPE, // PARM='(SEP ;) < dd=IN ; chop 200 ; pad 200 ; > dd=OUT' //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSUDUMP DD SYSOUT=* //IN DD DSN=&&IN,DISP=SHR //OUT DD DSN=&&OUT,DISP=(NEW,PASS), // UNIT=SYSDA, // SPACE=(CYL,(1,1)), // DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=200,BLKSIZE=200) The reason why you need both the CHOP and the PAD is that this will ensure fixed-length records by truncating longer ones (the CHOP) and extending the shorter ones (PAD). You can put another parm on the PAD to extend with a given character (which can be specified in Hex). You can extend this technique by using other stage commands to do record selection as part of the pipe operation or get into Secondary and Tertiary streams. You may also want to use the SPECS stage command to reformat the records (the example below puts in a prefix for each output stream). In these cases, you will need to construct larger operations by using the RUNPIPE construct (this is taken from the aforementioned SupportPac). The thing to note is the use of the PIPEIN file to contain the full Pipe command to be executed and PIPEOUT to receive the output from the sequence: the JOIN * gets rid of lines from the PIPEIN file so allowing you to code the pipe with meaningful idents which are got rid of on execution (there are various size limitations around). For info, the RXDPLP stage command is a Rexx Exec, living in the //REXX library : use this functionality to do more complicated things than is permitted (or is easier ) in the Stage processing on a record-by-record basis. //RUN4 EXEC PGM=PIPE, // PARM='(SEP ; end ? ) < dd=PIPEIN ; join * ; // runpipe ; > dd=PIPEPOUT coerce' //REXX DD DSN=RHARRI1.CA1IEXEC,DISP=SHR //STEPLIB DD DSN=UTL.RHARRI1.LOAD,DISP=SHR,DCB=BLKSIZE=32760 // DD DSN=RHARRI1.CA1HLOAD,DISP=SHR // DD DSN=CICS.SDFHEXCI,DISP=SHR //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSUDUMP DD SYSOUT=* //PIPEPOUT DD SYSOUT=*,DCB=(RECFM=F,LRECL=132,BLKSIZE=132) //PIPEOUT DD SYSOUT=*,DCB=(RECFM=F,LRECL=132,BLKSIZE=132) //SYSTSPRX DD SYSOUT=* //SYSTSPRT DD SYSOUT=*,DCB=(RECFM=F,LRECL=132,BLKSIZE=132) //PIPEIN DD * (SEP ; end ?) literal cemt i task ; literal RAH Rules ; ss: RXDPLP (W2) (C1) * * / notrace retain abend/; specs /1->/ 1 1-* next ; > dd=PIPEOUT coerce literal utprogb iyckrah6 word3 word4 word5 ; ss: ; specs /2->/ 1 1-* next ; > dd=PIPEOUT coerce ss: ; specs /3->/ 1 1-* next ; > dd=PIPEOUT coerce /*

Peyton's Place: Hillis Caps Shocking Run By Topping Vick For Cover Of "Madden NFL 12"
Published April 28, 2011
A CINDERELLA STORY: EA Sports conducted the photo shoot this morning with Hillis on Military Island in Times Square, despite occasionally heavy rain, with the public release of the final cover art expected in mid-to-late May. Stevenson said the cover voting campaign represented the largest fan engagement program in the histories of both EA Sports and ESPN. "If Aaron Rodgers had won, we would have been happy, and frankly, that's who we probably would have picked anyway," Stevenson said. "But this is an underdog story, and instead of it being the obvious choice, it's the people's choice. We couldn't be happier. Cleveland got behind Hillis in a huge way and treated this like their Super Bowl." Stevenson added he isn't worried about the prospect of declining sales for "Madden NFL 12" due to Hillis' lack of standing as a household name, pointing to overall awareness of the game's Aug. 30 release that was boosted by the cover vote bracket. "We've already seen five times the media stories this year for this than we had last year with ['Madden NFL 11' cover athlete] Drew Brees," Stevenson said. "We've also had more than 30 million views on our Facebook page alone through this. We've seen the power of what can happen when you engage all 32 teams" (Fisher). ESPN's Michelle Beadle said to Hillis after the announcement was made yesterday, "The city of Cleveland basically put their entire lot of hopes and dreams into you. This is like their way of beating whatever curse it is that's taken over their sports" ("SportsNation," ESPN2, 4/27).
FIGHT IN THE DAWG: Following the announcement that he would appear on the cover, Hillis said that he "was 'excited' and he didn't think he had a shot against Vick, whom he has 'always looked up to.'" Vick said that he "was happy for Hillis and was proud of how far he made it in the voting." He added, "My fans, they stuck in there. I made it this far and that's a plus for me." Vick, who was "attempting to become the first player to appear on the Madden cover twice, also used the Internet to boost his candidacy, with his official website redirecting fans to the ESPN.com Madden vote" (ESPN.com, 4/27). ESPN.com's Jon Robinson wrote Hillis' victory "has to be one of the biggest surprises in 'Madden' cover history." Robinson: "Just goes to show why online voting is so fun to follow" (ESPN.com, 4/27). YAHOO SPORTS' Chris Chase wrote, "How did a guy who had 81 career carries prior to last season outlast a field of some of the NFL's biggest stars? The fact that he was the first white running back to rush for 1,000 yards didn't hurt, nor did the voting habits of a rabid Cleveland fanbase" (SPORTS.YAHOO.com, 4/27). Meanwhile, the WALL STREET JOURNAL's Lee Hawkins wrote under the header, "A Branding Blow For Michael Vick." The Eagles QB has a "way to go before totally regaining his mojo as a corporate sponsor if an online vote by video gamers is any indication" (WSJ.com, 4/27).

Due to the castle's perilous nature, at least one lit torch must be in the player's possession at all times; if the torch is extinguished, the player soon stumbles, breaking his neck, and must then continue from a saved game (or the area in which they died, in game console versions). Since there is only a finite number of torches to be found throughout the game, this effectively acts as a time limit to proceedings. […]

"September 11 - The New Pearl Harbor" by Massimo Mazzucco
No matter what you believe, it is undeniable that the events of September 11, 2001 have changed the world in the most negative way.
The Western "War on Terror" has decimated nations, given license to the undertaking of inhuman brutality and transformed Western nations into strange, free range panopticons where the state watches and tracks all communications of their citizens. The definition of "terrorist" has become broad and easily changeable in order to fit the needs of whoever holds power. People are now controlled by government-promoted fear of the "other". Those who question the event that has lead us down the path we are currently on are mocked and derided by those who dare not question. Dialogue is stifled by emotion, ignorance or intentional misdirection. Disinformation, propaganda, psychological operations and false flag terrorism are now the "new normal" for anybody seeking to fulfill agendas of control, profit and power. The origin of this "new normal" deserves comprehensive, honest investigation, not only for the future of so-called "free" nations, but out of respect for the many hundreds of thousands who have died horribly as a result of the agendas that have roared forward since. This comprehensive three part film is definitely worth a watch for everybody, regardless of your opinion of what truly happened on that fateful day. PART 1 PART 2 PART 3 Sunday, October 06, 2013.

Note to My Half Brother Chris Shropshire: Here's Why I Think You're a Fuckin' Moron for Enlisting
(Actually, I'll be writing more about this. You should consider this a first chapter, pretty boy Chrissy...)
So anywho, my half brother Christopher Shropshire, who recently enlisted in the War Crimes or Us American Army like a fuckin' moron, posted this on his Facebook page. So, you know, I think I wrote something but by my own standards of cruelty it was quite harmless. I can't check because I've been defriended by my own by own half brother (big loss but more on this Facebook later...) and so I think I wrote: "Well I think that enlisting was a mistake but nobody thinks you're a pussy for it. On the other hand, it's kinda cool having a half brother who can do consulting work for 'Burn Notice'." And that's it. His wife responded and it was kind of sarcastic because it wasn't the Support the Troops Fox news bullshit that she's used to hearing. And that's all right. I think I said that I liked the post even when I didn't mainly as a friendly gesture because if Chris Shropshire wants to go off and murder Afghan civilians, accidentally I'm sure, hey that's up to him. We all have different and ironic ideas of what constitutes "fun". I'm sure they'll all die justifiably. Yes I'm being sarcastic all those dead civilians notwithstanding. So then I get this private message from Christopher Shropshire, possible future war criminal or Ranger School dropout or deserving casualty of the war -- because we never know what the wondrous future may bring -- which says this: " i saw you comment that my joing the army was a mistake. 1. nobody fucking asked you 2. you're a not even a has been you're just a never been. we're done I'm not going to waste anymore time on this shit because just being you is punishment enough.." First, your grammar is just atrocious. But seriously almost every word that Chris writes is, almost, completely fucking wrong. Not to mention badly written...that's the worst offense. Well, as they say in the movies, "allow me to retort". 1. nobody fucking asked you Actually, you can screen your posts in Facebook so that certain people only see certain things. Unfortunately, because you're kind of dim witted about Facebook protocols the post was made available to all your so-called "friends". So, as a matter of fact, you were asking me fuckwit. I hope you're getting the details better on munitions training. Gosh, it would just break my heart if something bad happened to you. It's good to see that the army is still recruiting the Best and the Brightest Gomer Pyle. Technically, this will require some tricky phrasing, but the truth of it is that I'm a "was been" and "still am". I am a prolific and widely published professional writer because, hey, I'm smarter and more talented than you Chris. I've written about things that you and your deeply stupid twat wife (the war (many wars in fact if you consider the range of our drone strikes) is about defending me Jen Shropshire...are you that naive?) can barely pronounce. I don't brag about it because I'm not so insecure about my manhood and what I've accomplished as a writer that I have to defriend people on Facebook who say slightly sarcastic things to me. Semper Fi or whatever.... Oh, and for the record, I'm not that impressed by one time state congressional losers and insurance salesmen. You know the funny thing about that races is that they knew you well and they still voted against you. Perhaps they saw what I see in you: a vacuous privileged pretty boy materialistic lightweight who wouldn't understand the problems of ordinary people if they bit him in his scrawny little beige ass. Just so you know...Hey, if working for newspapers and trying to help black folks while I was doing it makes me a loser then hey I'll take being a failure in your ever so discriminating eyes. we're done I'm not going to waste anymore time on this shit because just being you is punishment enough.." Well, technically again, you never wasted time on me before. We haven't had a single conversation since Dad, the conscientious objector in the Vietnam War who I'm sure would be brimming with pride over your enlistment, died. That was 11 years ago. I think we've had two discussions in over two years on Facebook. I usually don't comment on your silly vain materialistic posts about Kewl Cars because most of the world doesn't have enough to eat. Good to see you've got your priorities in order soldier boy. I mean, I sort of get that in that I wouldn't like the kids that my dad had from a previous life, either. So I never took it personally. Oh, and just for the record, here's a quick list why I have no respect for your enlistment. 1.) The main fighting is pretty much over. You'll be an occupying force essentially killing people who have the audacity to live on stuff that we want. It's like joining up to fight Hitler in 1946. (Update: I don't want to underestimate our capacity for new and unnecessary wars. You might get the distinct thrill of shooting a Nigerian freedom fighter. Then there's always Iran or the hills of Pakistan, which you're not supposed to be in...ahhh, the thrills of the military...) 2.) The wars we wage are mainly against people of color, of which I am one. I remember that apparently. I think those wars are extremely dishonorable and are not the vocations of decent or truly courageous men. Look up the terms "expropriation" and "good german". That's you in the mirror there winner. You're like a black guy who fights for the confederacy. 3.) I would be hesitant to fight and die for a country that clearly doesn't give a fuck about me or other black people. And hey if you actually lived in a black neighborhood like I do then you would know this. The direction of this country for black Americans is privatized prisons. The fact that a black president is presiding over it doesn't necessarily make it better, although I will vote for him because he's better than Romney...who isn't? I mean, if the Nazis are back or you want me to stick a knife into a confederate soldier then, hey, sign me up. Poor colored folks abroad, backward ass theocrats though they may be, not so gung ho about that. And not for this country at this time... 4.) The wars are so blatantly about resource theft that, quite frankly, they are within their rights to kill you because you're the evil invader. They have every reason not to trust the United States. I mean, there is an informative website or a thousand if you can turn off the Hannity for awhile... I hope that clears things up for you. You know, if something bad happened to you before this I probably could have faked a tear or two for someone I didn't know very well. Now my response would be this: You reap what you sow. Oh and don't worry I won't come to the funeral and vice versa I would sincerely hope. It's probably not fashionable to spit on the corpse.

Analysis: CNN expert's civilian drone death numbers don't add up
The Bureau of Investigative Journalism July 17th, 2012 | by Chris Woods Following recent revelations by the New York Times that all military-aged males in Waziristan are considered fair game by the CIA in its drone strikes, many US journalists have been reassessing how they report on deaths in the attacks. So when CNN's national security analyst Peter Bergen produced a graph claiming that no civilians have been killed in Pakistan this year by US drones, his views were bound to attract criticism. Conor Friedersdorf, a columnist at The Atlantic, accused CNN and Bergen of running 'bogus data', for example. Bergen is also a director of the New America Foundation, which for more than three years has run a database on CIA drone strikes in Pakistan and produces estimates of numbers killed. That data is the most frequent source of statistics for the US media, including CNN itself. So the accuracy of its material is important. Yet there are credible reports of civilian deaths in Pakistan this year. And unlike the New America Foundation the Bureau actively tracks those claims. Up to July 16 for example, between three and 27 civilians have been reported killed in Pakistan this year, out of 148 – 220 deaths. Some were actively defined as civilians by news organisations including Reuters and AFP. But these are not necessarily the only civilian deaths. Ambivalent reports might sometimes refer only to 'people' or 'local tribesmen' killed. More research is needed. And of the remaining alleged militants killed, we have so far been able to name just 13 individuals. Bergen's claim of zero reported civilian casualties this year is therefore factually inaccurate. To be so categoric is also problematic. The Bureau's own data shows that of at least 2,500 people killed by the CIA in Pakistan since 2004, we publicly only know the identities of around 500. Most of the others were reported to be alleged militants by local and international media. We can say no more than that. It is not just in NAF's 2012 data that credible reports of civilian deaths have been missed or ignored. NAF's Pakistan data also contains many other inaccuracies. A number of confirmed strikes are omitted, for instance, and its overall estimates of those killed are significantly below even the CIA's own count. The consequence is a skewed picture of drone activity which continues to inform many opinion-makers. Subjective choices On July 13 Peter Bergen responded to his recent critics in a CNN article which stated that reported civilian casualties in Pakistan are in decline – as the Bureau itself recently noted. He also repeated his claim of no civilian casualties in Pakistan this year. And he attacked the Bureau for its own recording work in this area: The Bureau of Investigative Journalism's high estimate of 24 civilian deaths in 2012 came in part from reports provided by an unreliable Pakistani news outlet as well as the claims of a local Taliban commander, which contradicted all other reports. It's worth unpicking Bergen's claims in some detail. His comments appear to refer to a CIA drone strike on February 9 in which local Taliban commander Badar Mansoor died. Citing just four sources, NAF's data reports only that three to five 'militants', including Mansoor, died in the attack. But this is a misrepresentation which ignores credible claims of civilian casualties, as the Bureau's own Pakistan database makes clear...http://www.thebureauinvestigates.com/2012/07/17/analysis-cnn-experts-civilian-drone-death-numbers-dont-add-up/ New and Improved Rules for Drone Warfare Good news for people who love freedom, hate terrorism, and people who do not live in Yemen and will never visit Yemen and do not appear to be from Yemen or its surrounding areas: the U.S. government is relaxing its rules for drone strikes in Yemen. When it comes to incinerating more or less inscrutable targets with unseen missile attacks like Zeus himself, why be encumbered by a bunch of bureaucratic rules? The new policy reportedly "includes targeting fighters whose names aren't known but who are deemed to be high-value terrorism targets or threats to the U.S." No more pesky hours of intelligence-gathering before you can vaporize that jeep from above. But do these rules go far enough in eliminating those who Hate Our Freedoms and Familes and Children, and Our Children and Families' Freedoms™? We think not. A few common sense edits for the future of warfare: * If someone is carrying a machine gun, RPG, or shoulder-fired missile that looks like an imminent threat to any Coalition soldiers, whether from the Western world or from the Muslim world, they may be killed. * If someone in an area known for militant activity appears to be transporting cargo with brown and grey markings consistent with databases of the graphic skin that covers the outside of missiles or rockets and moves with an intent to set up and fire those armaments at Coalition forces, they may be blown up. * If someone is determined through confirmed intelligence of a reliable nature to be forming a terrorist group with the intent and capability of causing mass casualties in America or in any territory of an American ally in the Middle East, and they cannot be apprehended without significant risk of loss of civilian life, they may be kabazongaed to bababooey with a fucking Hellfire, bro. A little common sense goes a long way.http://gawker.com/5905456/new-and-improved-rules-for-drone-warfare Just Trust Us, Say Manufacturers of Killer Robots People have been making a fuss about the domestic use of drones recently. Now the drone industry has come up with a 'code of conduct' to ensure the public's safety and privacy. [Evil robot laugh drifts through the air.] Huh? What was that? The Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International, which represents thousands of drone manufacturers all over the world released the document yesterday. It includes a pledge that the industry will ''respect the privacy of individuals," along with guidelines like "We will be responsive to the needs of the public," and "we will not operate [drones] in a manner that presents undue risk to persons or property on the surface or the air."* "We understand as an industry that we've got a public relations problem," one association member told the Associated Press. That's nice and all, but it's not going to go far toward convincing a skeptical public, which largely believes we are hurtling toward a dystopian future where drones are omnipresent in American skies, beaming live surveillance film of citizens' every move to a shadowy Director, who stitches the best bits into a reality show to entertain Chinese real estate tycoons. A much more savvy public relations move by the drone industry would be to show the vulnerable, human side of drones. Have drones star in a series of viral YouTube videos where they're caught in hilarious awkward situations—you know, mysteriously crashing, being hijacked by hackers. *Offer not valid in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Yemen...http://gawker.com/5923329/you-can-trust-us-say-manufacturers-of-killer-robots Wednesday, June 20, 2012.

The deluxe version of Al Schneider Magic is a beautiful volume that matches previous collector's editions from L&L Publishing, featuring gold-foil stamping, special matching end papers, and a different binding than the regular edition and each is individually signed and numbered by Al Schneider.
The special collector's edition of Al Schneider Magic is strictly limited to 100 numbered copies to be sold.
In the world of magic literature, where there's an overabundance of the ordinary, every so often, a book comes along that clearly stands out from the rehashed and recycled norm. A book that, even on casual perusal, demands to be studied for a lifetime. A book that represents the life's work of one of magic's most gifted artists. It's a rare occurrence when a magic book of such high caliber is produced, but at long last, the wait is over. It's time for Al Schneider Magic.
Al Schneider's place in magic history would be secure if the now-classic "Matrix" effect was all he ever created but, as it turns out, "Matrix" was merely the tip of the iceberg. Al Schneider has devoted his life to not only creating great magic but in uncovering exactly what it is that makes magic effective for audiences and it's that analytical approach to creating powerful magic that informs all of the effects taught in this landmark work. Al Schneider Magic secures his reputation as not only one of magic's great creators but also as one of its great theoreticians.
There are tricks with coins, cards, cups and balls, napkins, bracelets, finger rings, and more. One could easily build a complete close-up act from the material presented here. And, if you think you know what "Matrix" is all about, wait until you read the comprehensive treatment of the effect that you'll find in this book, including a discussion about its complete history, the philosophy of the effect, its many variations, and more...and all from its creator.
In a day and age when single-trick DVDs can cost $30.00 or more, you'll find more magical value in this book than perhaps any other single investment you've ever made in magic. It may be that Al Schneider said it best. When asked to summarize the value he believed Al Schneider Magic held, he simply said, "You are guaranteed to get something from this book that you will use for the rest of your life. What is that worth?"

Here's how to ditch the store-bought products and make your own pre-treated, reusable dust cloth out of an old t-shirt. Advertisement Every day, no matter what we do, dust tends to creep into our homes and settles in. With just an old t-shirt, some lemons, olive oil, and hot water, you can banish it again and again without spending any extra money on overpriced cleaning products. Just cut the t-shirt into pieces and soak it in a glass container filled with half a cup of hot water, two tablespoons of olive oil, and the juice from 2 lemons. Put the cotton pieces of the t-shirt in the solution, cover, and let it sit for 2 hours. After drying, they'll pick up dust like nobody's business, keeping your tables, electronics, and everything else sparkly clean.

Breaking news in my native country the Netherlands: According to strong rumours (God has been speaking to me again....), temperature in Amsterdam tomorrow will hit 25 degrees Celsius (Maybe 30 degrees, maybe 22 - you never know).
Same thing in Iraq. Tomorrow Baghdad will be 41 degrees. Week from now: 45 degrees Celsius! (see graphic)
Except for hot weather, there is something else going on in Iraq.
First, it is not so extremely violent anymore.
Second: It is still pretty violent and it is still a WAR.
Journalists and audiences though are rapidly losing interest in the Iraq story. According to the New York Times, "collective coverage dropped to four minutes a week from 30 minutes a week at the height of coverage, in September 2007."
So, four minutes of Iraq news a week in every US living room...that's it! And I wouldn't be surprised if its only two or three in Holland.
That leaves you just enough time (2.39 min) to watch the following video I shot in Iraq in 2005. Story goes as follows: After Al-Qaeda guys have thrown a hand grenade towards an Iraqi family, US troops try to help these wounded Iraqi civilians. I was embedded with this American unit when it all happened. Clip is a little bit bloody. Luckily though, the lovely music makes it all worthwhile watching.
I can not agree more with this Dutch singer: Life is so much better whenever the sun shines... Please enjoy this Iraqi/Dutch Summer Hit!
