The 1939 California tropical storm, also called the 1939 Long Beach tropical storm, El Cordonazo, The Lash of St. Francis was a tropical cyclone that hit Southern California in September, 1939. Formerly a hurricane,[1] it was the only tropical storm to make landfall in California in the twentieth century. The only other known tropical cyclone to directly affect California is the 1858 San Diego Hurricane, and only three other eastern Pacific tropical cyclones have caused gale-force winds in the continental United States.[2] The tropical storm caused heavy flooding, leaving many dead, mostly at sea.[1]
Meteorological history[edit]
On September 15, a tropical depression formed off the coast of Central America.[3] It moved west-northwest, passing southwest of the Revillagigedo Islands. It then turned north and then north-eastward.[3] For some time, it was a hurricane, and it lost that intensity on or just before September 25.[1] The tropical storm made landfall near San Pedro, California early on September 25[1] with winds of severe gale strength. It dissipated later that day.[3] The strongest reported wind was of Force 11, reported by a ship, making this system a minimal hurricane. The lowest pressure was reported by the same ship and was 28.67 inHg (971 mb).[3]
Due to the rotation of the Earth, tropical cyclones in the Northern Hemisphere tend to move from east to west. This causes tropical cyclones to approach the West Coast of the United States infrequently. Another inhibiting factor for a California landfall is the water temperatures. Because of the water currents, the waters off California are rarely above 70 °F (21 °C), which is too cold for hurricanes to sustain themselves.[4] This tropical cyclone was rare enough that only three other eastern Pacific tropical cyclones brought tropical storm-force winds to the Continental United States during the twentieth century. The Long Beach Tropical Storm was the only one to make landfall; the other three hit Mexico before moving north.[2]
The storm dropped heavy rain on California, with 5.66 inches (144 mm) falling in Los Angeles (5.24 inches in 24 hours) and 11.60 inches (295 mm) recorded at Mount Wilson, both September records. Over three hours, one thunderstorm dropped nearly 7 inches (180 mm) of rain on Indio. 9.65 inches fell on Raywood Flat, and 1.51 inches (38 mm) on Palm Springs.[1] 4.83 inches fell on Pasadena, a September record at the time. At the Citrus Belt near Anaheim, at least 4.63 inches of rain fell. The 11.60 inches (295 mm) at Mount Wilson is one of California's highest rainfall amounts from a tropical cyclone, although at least one system has a higher point maximum.[5] The rains caused a flood 2 to 4 feet (1.2 m)[6] deep in the Coachella Valley, although some of this may be attributable to a rainstorm dropping 6.45 inches (164 mm) the day before the storm hit.[1] The Los Angeles River, which was usually low during September, became a raging torrent.[6]
The flooding killed 45 in Southern California, although some of these may be attributable to the rain immediately before the tropical storm. At sea, 48 were killed.[1] The National Hurricane Center only attributes 45 deaths to this system.[7] Six people caught on beaches drowned during the storm. Most other deaths were at sea. Twenty-four died aboard a vessel called the Spray as it attempted to dock at Point Mugu. The two survivors, a man and a woman, swam ashore and then walked five miles (8 km) to Oxnard. Fifteen people from Ventura drowned aboard a fishing boat called the Lur. Many other vessels were sunk, capsized, or blown ashore.[6]
Many low-lying areas were flooded. The Hamilton Bowl overflowed, flooding the Signal Hill area. Along the shore from Malibu to Huntington Beach houses were flooded. Throughout the area, thousands of people were stranded in their homes. Streets in Los Angeles proper were covered with water, flooding buildings and stalling cars. Flooding in Inglewood and Los Angeles reached a depth of 2 to 3 feet. Construction on a flood control project in the Los Angeles River's channel by the Army Corps of Engineers was stopped by the flooding. In Long Beach windows throughout that city were smashed by the wind. At Belmont Shore, waves undermined ten homes before washing them away. Debris was scattered throughout the coast. Agriculture was disrupted. Crop damage in the Coachella Valley reached 75%.[6]
Rains washed away a 150-foot (46 m) section of the Southern Pacific Railroad near Indio, and a stretch of the Santa Fe main line near Needles. Waters backing up from a storm drain under construction in the Santa Monica Valley blocked U.S. Route 6 in California. The pier at Point Mugu was washed away. In Pasadena, 5000 people were left without electricity and 2000 telephones lost service. Communications throughout the affected area was disrupted or rendered impossible.[6] The total amount of damage was $2 million (1939 USD,[3] $26.2 million 2005 USD).
The tropical storm was credited with at least one beneficial effect: it ended a vicious heat wave that had lasted for over a week and killed at least 90 people.[8]
People were caught unprepared by the storm,[1] which was described as "sudden". Some people were still on the beach at Long Beach when the wind reached 40 miles per hour, at which time lifeguards closed the beach. Schools were closed there. At sea, the Coast Guard and Navy conducted rescue operations, saving dozens of people.[6] In response to Californians' unpreparedness, the Weather Bureau established a forecast office for southern California, which began operations in February 1940.[1]

Two-year old Miss Bouvier with her apparent first dog, name and breed unknown, 1931. From her earliest childhood days on Long Island, through her youth in New York, Newport, Rhode Island and McLean, Virginia, to her public period as the wife of a U.S. Senator in Washington and in the White House as First Lady of the United States, to her life afterwards as the world's most famous woman on Fifth Avenue in New York, Avenue Foch in Paris and on Skorpios Island, Greece, there was one element to her life which remained as consistent as her highly individualistic approach to living. Jacqueline Lee Bouvier Kennedy Onassis loved her dogs. And she didn't discriminate based on breed or size, her menageries over the years including spaniel to daschund to poodle to shepherd to mixed-breed. Although much has been written about how the radical differences in personality between her father, John "Black Jack" Bouvier and her mother Janet Norton Lee, is what essentially led to their acrimonious separation in 1936 and divorce in 1940 when their eldest child "Jackie" was eleven years old, Jack and Janet shared one bond which they jointly passed on to her – that love of dogs. In fact, as a very young child, Jackie Bouvier often expressed her views by assigning human emotions, thoughts and feelings to dogs. The very first "book" she wrote was The Adventures of George Woofty, Esquire, a star-crossed love story between two dogs who couldn't marry because they were of different breeds. Dogs were also the subject which compelled her determination to publicly express her opinion on a trending social issue. When her father read to her a newspaper story on the subject of vivisection on dogs, Jackie Bouvier became enraged. She directed her anger by dictating her feelings to her father, who composed it all in a telegram, registering her protest against the practice of medical experimentation on dogs, which he then sent to the New York Journal-American. It is difficult to precisely chronicle just which dogs she shared her life with on a permanent basis as a child and

NWT Air Boeing 737-248C C-FNVT was filmed over Yellowknife from Buffalo Airways' Piper Navajo flown by Marc Mazdak, and it sounds like Joe McBryan's son Mickey was along with us helping out. This Boeing had been recently acquired from Aer Lingus, and was conducting initial rides for pilots, so we took advantage of the opportunity to do some air-to-air photo work. I also had my Hi-8 video camera with me and shot this very poor quality footage. Better than nothing I suppose.

A sophist or sophister (Greek: σοφιστής, Latin: sophistes) was a specific kind of teacher in both Ancient Greece and in the Roman Empire. Many sophists specialized in using the tools of philosophy and rhetoric, though other sophists taught subjects such as music, athletics, and mathematics. In general, they claimed to teach arete ("excellence" or "virtue," applied to various subject areas), predominantly to young statesmen and nobility. There are not many writings from and about the first sophists. The early sophists' practice of charging money for education and providing wisdom only to those who could pay resulted in the condemnations made by Socrates through Plato in his Dialogues, as well as by Xenophon in Memorabilia and, somewhat controversially, by Aristotle who, being paid to tutor Alexander the Great, could be accused of being a Sophist (although Aristotle did not actually accept payment from Philip, Alexander's father, but requested that, in lieu of payment, Philip reconstruct Aristotle's home town of Stagira, which Philip had destroyed in a previous campaign, terms which Philip accepted).[citation needed] Author of The History and Theory of Rhetoric: An Introduction James A. Herrick wrote, "In De Oratore, Cicero blames Plato for separating wisdom and eloquence in the philosopher's famous attack on the Sophists in Gorgias." [1] The classical tradition of rhetoric and composition refers more to philosophers like Aristotle, Cicero, and Quintilian than to the sophists. Despite these criticisms, however, many sophists flourished in later periods, especially during the era of Roman history known as the Second Sophistic.
The Greek σοφός (sophos), related to the noun σοφία (sophia), had the meaning "skilled" or "wise" since the time of the poet Homer and originally was used to describe anyone with expertise in a specific domain of knowledge or craft. For example, a charioteer, a sculptor or a warrior could be described as sophoi in their occupations. Gradually, however, the word also came to denote general wisdom and especially wisdom about human affairs (for example, in politics, ethics, or household management). This was the meaning ascribed to the Greek Seven Sages of 7th and 6th century BC (like Solon and Thales), and it was the meaning that appeared in the histories of Herodotus. Richard Martin refers to the seven sages as "performers of political poetry."[2]
From the word σοφός (sophos) is derived the verb σοφίζω (sophizo), which means "to instruct or make learned," but which in the passive voice means "to become or be wise," or "to be clever or skilled in a thing." In turn, from this verb is derived the noun σοφιστής (sophistes), which originally meant "a master of one's craft" but later came to mean "a prudent man" or "wise man."[3] The word for "sophist" in various languages comes from sophistes.
The word "sophist" could also be combined with other Greek words to form compounds. Examples include meteorosophist, which roughly translates to "expert in celestial phenomena"; gymnosophist (or "naked sophist," a word used to refer to a sect of Indian philosophers, the Gymnosophists), deipnosophist or "dinner sophist" (as in the title of Athenaeus's Deipnosophistae), and iatrosophist, a type of physician in the later Roman period.
Sophists of the 5th century BC[edit]
In the second half of the 5th century BC, particularly at Athens, "sophist" came to denote a class of mostly itinerant intellectuals who taught courses in various subjects, speculated about the nature of language and culture and employed rhetoric to achieve their purposes, generally to persuade or convince others: "Sophists did, however, have one important thing in common: whatever else they did or did not claim to know, they characteristically had a great understanding of what words would entertain or impress or persuade an audience."[2] Sophists purposely went to Athens to teach rhetoric because of how flourishing the city was at the time. It was good employment for those who were good at debate, which was the specialty of the first Sophists; they received the fame and fortune they were seeking. Protagoras is generally regarded as the first of these professional sophists. Others include Gorgias, Prodicus, Hippias, Thrasymachus, Lycophron, Callicles, Antiphon, and Cratylus. A few sophists claimed that they could find the answers to all questions. Most of these sophists are known today primarily through the writings of their opponents (specifically Plato and Aristotle), which makes it difficult to assemble an unbiased view of their practices and beliefs. In some cases, such as Gorgias, there are original rhetorical works that are fortunately extant, allowing the author to be judged on his own terms. In most cases, however, knowledge about what individual sophists wrote or said comes from fragmentary quotations that lack context.
Many sophists taught their skills for a price. Due to the importance of such skills in the litigious social life of Athens, practitioners often commanded very high fees. The sophists' practice of questioning the existence and roles of traditional deities and investigating into the nature of the heavens and the earth prompted a popular reaction against them. The attacks of some of their followers against Socrates prompted a vigorous condemnation from his followers, including Plato and Xenophon, as there was a popular view of Socrates as a sophist. For example, the comic playwright Aristophanes criticizes the sophists as hairsplitting wordsmiths, and makes Socrates their representative.[4] Their attitude, coupled with the wealth garnered by many of the sophists, eventually led to popular resentment against sophist practitioners and the ideas and writings associated with sophism.
In comparison, Socrates accepted no fee, instead professed a self-effacing posture, which he exemplified by Socratic questioning (i.e., the Socratic method, although Diogenes Laertius wrote that Protagoras — a sophist — invented the "Socratic" method[5][6]). His attitude towards the Sophists was by no means oppositional; in one dialogue Socrates even stated that the Sophists were better educators than he was,[7] which he validated by sending one of his students to study under a sophist.[8] W. K. C. Guthrie classified Socrates as a Sophist in his History of Greek Philosophy.[8]
Plato, the most famous student of Socrates, depicts Socrates as refuting some sophists in several Dialogues. These texts depict the sophists in an unflattering light, and it is unclear how accurate or fair Plato's representation of them may be; however, Protagoras and Prodicus are portrayed in a largely positive light in ''Protagoras'' (dialogue). Protagoras was the first sophist, whose theory said "Man is the measure of all things", meaning Man decides for himself what he is going to believe.[9] The works of Plato and Aristotle have had much influence on the modern view of the "sophist" as a greedy instructor who uses rhetorical sleight-of-hand and ambiguities of language in order to deceive, or to support fallacious reasoning. In this view, the sophist is not concerned with truth and justice, but instead seeks power.
Some scholars, such as Ugo Zilioli[10] argue that the sophists held a relativistic view on cognition and knowledge. However, this may involve the Greek word "doxa," which means "culturally shared belief" rather than "individual opinion." Their philosophy contains criticism of religion, law, and ethics. Though many sophists were apparently as religious as their contemporaries, some held atheistic or agnostic views (for example, Protagoras and Diagoras of Melos).
Sophists and democracy[edit]
The first sophists prepared Athenian males for public life in the polis by teaching them how to debate through the art of rhetoric. The art of persuasion was the most important thing to have a successful life in the fifth century Athens social commonplace when rhetoric was in its most important stage. The sophists' rhetorical techniques were extremely useful for any young nobleman looking for public office. The societal roles the Sophists filled had important ramifications for the Athenian political system at large. The historical context provides evidence for their considerable influence, as Athens became more and more democratic during the period in which the Sophists were most active.[11]
Even though Athens was already a flourishing democracy before their arrival, the cultural and psychological contributions of the sophists played an important role in the growth of Athenian democracy. Sophists contributed to the new democracy in part by espousing expertise in public deliberation, the foundation of decision-making, which allowed—and perhaps required—a tolerance of the beliefs of others. This liberal attitude would naturally have made its way into the Athenian assembly as Sophists began acquiring increasingly high-powered clients.[12] Continuous rhetorical training gave the citizens of Athens "the ability to create accounts of communal possibilities through persuasive speech".[13] This was extremely important for the democracy, as it gave disparate and sometimes superficially unattractive views a chance to be heard in the Athenian assembly.
In addition, Sophists had great impact on the early development of law, as the sophists were the first lawyers in the world. Their status as lawyers was a result of their highly developed skills in argument.[14]
Sophists and education[edit]
Sophists taught the art of speaking and writing in the Western world prior to any other philosophical or rhetorical figure. The Sophists were notorious for their claims to teach virtue and excellence, and particularly for accepting fees for teaching. The influence of this stance on education in general, and medical education in particular, have been described by Seamus Mac Suibhne.[15] The sophists "offer quite a different epistemic field from that mapped by Aristotle," according to scholar Susan Jarratt, writer of Rereading the Sophists: Classical Rhetoric Refigured.
The Second Sophistic[edit]
The term "Second Sophistic" comes from Philostratos. In his Lives of the Sophists, Philostratus traces the beginnings of the movement to the orator Aeschines in the 4th century BC. But its earliest representative was really Nicetes of Smyrna, in the late 1st century AD. Unlike the original Sophistic movement of the 5th century BC, the Second Sophistic was little concerned with politics. But it was, to a large degree, to meet the everyday needs and respond to the practical problems of Graeco-Roman society. It came to dominate higher education and left its mark on many forms of literature. The period from around AD 50 to 100 was a period when oratorical elements dealing with the first sophists of Greece were reintroduced to the Roman Empire. The province of Asia embraced the Second Sophistic the most. Diococceianus (or Chrysostomos) and Aelius Aristides were popular sophists of the period. They orated over topics like poetry and public speaking. They did not teach debate or anything that had to do with politics because rhetoric was restrained due to the empirical government's rules.[16]
Owing largely to the influence of Plato and Aristotle, philosophy came to be regarded as distinct from sophistry, the latter being regarded as specious and rhetorical, a practical discipline. Thus, by the time of the Roman Empire, a sophist was simply a teacher of rhetoric and a popular public speaker. For instance, Libanius, Himerius, Aelius Aristides, and Fronto were sophists in this sense.
The Influence of the Second Sophistic on Roman Education[edit]
During the Second Sophistic, the Greek discipline of rhetoric had heavy influence on Roman education. During this time Latin rhetorical studies were banned for the precedent of Greek rhetorical studies. In addition, the Greek history was preferred for the education of the Roman elites above that of their native Roman history.[17]
Many rhetoricians during this period were instructed under specialists in Greek rhetorical studies as part of their standard education. Cicero, a prominent rhetorician during this period in Roman history, is one such example of the influence of the Second Sophistic on Roman Education. His early life coincided with the suppression of Latin rhetoric in Roman education under the edicts of Crassus and Domitius. Cicero was instructed in Greek rhetoric throughout his youth, as well as in other subjects of the Roman rubric under Archias. Cicero benefited in his early education from favorable ties to Crassus.[17]
In his writings, Cicero is said to have showed a "synthesis that he achieved between Greek and Roman culture" summed up in his work De Oratore. Despite his oratorical skill, Cicero pressed for a more liberal education in Roman instruction which focused more in the broad sciences including Roman history. He entitled this set of sciences as politior humanitas (2.72). Regardless of his efforts toward this end, Greek history was still preferred by the majority of aristocratic Romans during this time.[18]

This MARC U*STAR application requests support for a 4-year research training program that continues support for our current 2-year MARC Trainee Program, funds eight additional trainees over the next 5 years, and funds a comprehensive MARC Enrichment Program focusing on precollege and early college developmental activities as well as service learning and community building. Our main goal is to increase the number of talented minority undergraduates who are prepared to enroll into, and complete biomedical PhD programs. Measurable objectives include having an 80 percent rate of trainees being admitted to top-ranked graduate programs;increasing our MARC-eligible trainee applicant pool by 50%, increasing the disciplinary diversity of the applicant pool by 50%, and exposing precollege and college students earlier in their education to biomedical research opportunities. The 2-year MARC Trainee Fellows program offers research opportunities, courses, seminars, and presentations whose effectiveness is continuously monitored by evaluation. Outstandingjunior-level students are selected for an intensive, mentored research training and honors program. Trainees are recruited not only from life science departments, but also from biomedically relevant areas in engineering, physics, nanosciences, and behavioral sciences. Trainees choose from a select group of more than 45 highly qualified MARC preceptors from at least 12 departments. MARC Enrichment focuses on programmatic and outreach activities that enhance research training and learning experiences. Programmatic activities include a scientific writing course, support for a new Biomedical Research Minor track, and creation of research/society forums. Outreach programs include targeted research workshops/seminars, mentoring programs, full-day research lab experiences for community college and high school students, and a high school science and math academy. This application builds on a highly successful program. Indicative of our success over the last 5 years, 19 of 37 MARC Trainees entered into PhD programs immediately following graduation. The cumulative effect of this 4- year MARC program should increase the pool of minority students going on to and completing PhD programs.
UCLA MARC U*STAR is a successful program that offers research training opportunities for underrepresented minority science majors to enhance their competitiveness for highly ranked biomedical PhD programs, thus ensuring a highly diverse and well trained scientific workforce. We have added a comprehensive MARC Enrichment program whose goal is to increase the number of MARC and nonMARC students considering biomedical research careers.

One Common Struggle.
This June the leaders of the G8 (the world's richest countries) are
meeting in Northern Ireland. As economic crisis bites, and the planet
burns, the bosses and their politicians are celebrating business as usual.
Capitalism : a system that kills, exploits, and degrades the many for the
profit of a few.
On June 10-18 we are organising a week of action and events in London.
London is at the heart of global capitalism. The corporations, banks,
hedge funds, and billionaires looting our world have names and addresses.
They are in the glass towers of the City, and behind unmarked doors in
Mayfair and Knightsbridge. London is the money-laundering den of
dictators, the playground of the super-rich. But London is our city too. A
city of hope, resistance, and struggle.
Capitalism is killing us. Unemployment, cuts, and the rise of fascism in
the "West". Poverty, colonialism, brutal exploitation in the "Third
World". War and famine for profit. Private prisons, police checks, CCTV to
keep us scared and controlled. Life robbed of meaning and beauty, our
dreams and our dignity for sale.
Don't ignore. Don't wait. For our friends and loved ones, for our
communities, for our planet, for everything they're trying to take from
us. The time is now. Let's come together, and fight. One common struggle.
Join us on the streets :
June 11 : Big day of action in Central London.
June 17-18 : G8 Summit, Enniskillen, North of Ireland.
June 10-18 : Week of actions, talks, meet-ups, films, games, concerts, and
more, all over London and beyond.
What about the summit in Enniskillen ?
We believe that any action at the summit in Enniskillen needs to be
started locally. The StopG8 network will support a locally organised
mobilisation. For now, we are keeping the end of the week free. We will
let you know as soon as there is more information.
Coming to London :
We welcome people from outside the UK to get involved in the mobilisation.
There will be convergence and sleeping spaces for people travelling to
London for the week of action (10-18 June).
To get involved and keep in touch with us, please join the Stop G8
International mailing list. This is open to anyone to join, you just need
to go to this page and sign up :
We also need translators to get this information out in as many languages
as possible. If you can help, please join the translation list. Again, you
just need to go to this page and sign up :

Mom Confessions
Featured Posts
My dd started her period this week :/ she's 11 and that seems so early to me. My husband (her father) and I (step mom) are doing as we previouy discussed and starting her on birth control immediately. Under my roof she will take it or no longer live under my roof. shes a very intelligent young lady and I just won't see her life ruined by a pregnancy! Which bc pills did you like or not like? How about the depo shot? I hear mixed things on the implant but its definitely sounding like the easiest option as far as making sure she takes it.
Would love your reviews on the bc you loved/hated.

by Anonymous 2January 31, 2013 at 11:18 AMThat's kind of awful. No one should be forced to take any non-medically necessary medication.
by Anonymous 3January 31, 2013 at 11:19 AMFirst of all, the depo shot is EVIL
Second. Are you serious?? I mean, i totally understand not wanting teenage pregnancy, but birth control messes with your hormones. You could kill her fertility by putting her on BC so young.
Please, reconsider. Just talk to her.

I own two Pit Bulls. Very affectionate and gentle, unless I coax them into to playing rough. Then do, bigly. My dogs know who's boss and respect me completely but I think it is irresponsible to allow them out unleashed. Blame the owner.
Who cares if the gun shot pit was expected to survive, it and the other two should be put down. I have a pit-boxer mix she is a sweet heart, but if she did this, she would be put down.
I didn't have to teach my bird dog to point, or my cattle dog to heel our stock. What is it that pits were bred for? It's always the owners fault when their pets misbehave, but nature will usually take its course given a chance. I really wouldn't take a pet alligator to the municipal swimming pool, and I wouldn't let a pit run loose around strange people or animals.
I personally feel that any dog is capable of being good or bad, its all in how its raised, However in my apartment complex, the 3 super aggresive dogs are 2 pitbulls that live together, these cant play with any other dogs what so ever, they charge and growl on their leashes, have to have spiked choke collars and chains as leashes, The other aggresive dog is some abused / neglected shepherd dog that never gets socialized, The dog that has actually bit someone is a pit mix, also very aggresive towards other dogs, A dog that my shepherd mix has gotten into little skiffs with is a pit mix, okay behavior, but not great, very dominant though and the owners dont really care..
If you have no experience, how does your gut tell you that? Pit bulls are just dogs, unfortunately they are strong tough dogs with a reputation, which means they are often owned by dumbasses who try to make them into anything from fighting dogs to homemade attack dogs, "because dey pitbulls, dawg." Pitbulls are like minivans, they are good, practical and would be great to own, but they have a reputation because they attract a really bad class of owner.
The dog in my avatar picture is a full blooded pitbull and is one of the sweetest animals on this planet. I am a dog lover, and esp. Love pitbulls. However, I would shoot any dog dead where it stood if it attacked me, my loved ones, or my dog. This story demonstrates very poor pet ownership responsibility. Pits are a breed that need to have a very strong pack leader and need to be exercised daily. I do both of those things for Ruger. I also believe NO dog should ever be let off leash in a public area, period. I do honestly think pitbulls get a very bad rep, but the ones in this story absolutely need to be put down.
Keep your dogs on a leash. Control your dangerous animals. I'm glad for the outcome of the article. /except for the fact the other two dangerous animals are still out there. //Attack Pt. 2 imminent
Well said, the owner demonstrated poor judgement and should never had the three dogs in a public park unleashed. Even if the dogs had been on leash it may have been difficult to control three of that size. Many communities it is against the law to have a dog off leash in public.
100% agree. Their owner is a dumbass. I love dogs, pits as well. I think pits can be very good dogs. All dogs require that their owners not be complete idiots. Especially Pit Bulls. A lot of times, bad dogs highlight the defects (or in this case complete reject) of it's owner. Pit Bulls are probably more so the case. Having three large dogs (a pack) unleashed in a public area is a bad idea.
Always have a concealed gun when strolling , you might encounter a dogowner with a pit. Never take chances with these beasts, dont take your eyes away if you get an encounter.

Just thought I would share a few photos from my time at The Lab Event last weekend. I'm not anywhere close to being a bride, but I still had a pretty good time getting all fancied up in Sarah Seven gowns and trying every flavor of wedding cake imaginable. If you're hungry for more, there are a couple of snapshots from the event on Instagram too.
Archive for: January, 2013
I was in Sonoma this past Saturday for The Lab Event, and the mister and I decided to make a little weekend trip out of it. The weather was perfectly sunny and crisp. We had a great time walking through town to a winery and daydreaming about becoming townies. How was your weekend, any good adventures?
This weekend I'll be in Sonoma struttin' down the runway at The Lab Event! I'll be wearing gorgeous gowns by Sarah Seven, along with a bevy of beautiful Bay Area bloggers. The evening promises to be full of inspiration and delight for recently engaged lovebirds, bridal party members, and hopeful romantics that just love everything to do with weddings.
This is actually what I wore on New Year's Eve, but I never got a chance to snap photos that evening so I figured I would get all fancy for no reason in particular. Playing dress up never gets old.
Well, the holidays have come and gone with the blink of an eye, and the new year is somehow already here. I suppose it's time to get back to reality and start making progress on my growing list of resolutions. I can't say I'm particularly excited for the vacation to be over, but I love the fresh start feeling and spur of motivation that comes with a new year. Here's to 2013!

Comment Re:It's not the publishing (Score 1) 366
Not just PLoS...look at JBC or other journals and you'll see the little disclaimer that the pages are marked as advertisements because of the way the printing costs are defrayed. Also, it already costs the author money to submit a paper for publication to defray the costs of editing and peer review. Peer review costs nothing, it's the shipping to the reviewers and admin costs.
Publishing on the web is not a good alternative.
Sure it is. It's already happening. These days, results are increasingly multimedia. On top of that, journals want high levels of stringency on their papers, but they don't have room to show all results. That's why they invented supplemental results online. Libraries have to adapt and subscribe to more online journals. Sure, you do go out and dig up the 60 year old paper on occasion, but digital distribution won't do away with it. That's silly. And to answer your "profitability" statement, have you noticed that the bulk of scientific journals is actually advertising? It's like Playboy, the good stuff is only a small fraction of the magazine... yeah, that includes the articles we all read in that fine publication.
Also, don't forget how long people have been pushing for this free access. Harold Varmus, the former NIH head, has been quite vocal about this matter for some time now.

Bell sister act for 'You Again'
Kristen Bell has signed to star in "You Again," a Disney comedy that Andy Fickman is directing.Written by Moe Jelline, the story follows a young woman (Bell) who finds out her brother is marrying the girl who made her high school years a living hell.

Bell's deal puts her back in business with Disney, for whom she stars in the romantic comedy "When in Rome," which will be released in August. The actress, repped by CAA and Brookside Management, recently wrapped shooting on Universal's comedy "Couples Retreat" with Vince Vaughn, Jon Favreau and Jason Bateman. (partialdiff)

All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed. Show Caption Hide Caption Previous Next DETROIT (WXYZ) - Detroit Emergency Manager Kevyn Orr is meeting with creditors today at the Westin Hotel at Detroit Metro Airport. Representatives of both pension systems are among the 150 creditors meeting with him right now. 7 Action News is there to bring you the latest. Information from the meeting will be released after 11:45 a.m. Orr could take over control of both city employee pension funds if financial reports show their level of funding is 80% or less. The police and fire pension board and the general retirement board control $5 billion dollars in funds for 30,000 active and retired Detroit City employees. There is a catch 22 as both boards have accepted IOUs from the city over the years to prevent the city from running out of cash. The boards are made up of elected city employees, and appointees by the mayor and city council. The Emergency Manager in his report in May said that amount is $600 million. The latest report shows the general retirement fund is at the critical number of 80% while the police and fire fund is at 96%. "This is what we think needs to be done in order for the city to have the opportunity to reinvest, to address its legacy debt obligations," said Orr, "In a sense, once we give them the truth, the unvarnished truth, and say this is what we plan to do, their response and their ability to make concessions will really determine what we do next." Bankruptcy attorney Doug Bernstein believes Chapter 9 municipal bankruptcy seems inevitable, given the massive wave of potential concessions. "If the city can't afford the debt, whether it's pension debt, money that they owe to you or to me, it's all the same." said Bernstein, "They can't afford it. And they've got to get it to a manageable level." Share Article A Share A A A Share Article

I also have high-res pics of the inner barrels as well as the very minute "defects" on three of the wheels. Most are so small you can barely even make them out with the naked eye unless you hold the wheel under a light just right.

Must Lawyers Still Pay for Legal Research Services?
Is it possible for lawyers or law firms to now use the free Google Scholar service as their sole form of legal research?
Let me say up front that I have not done any legal research in years and I have no idea. But I continue to see posts from blogs such as Futurelawyer that explain how to use Google Scholar for purposes once reserved for Lexis/Westlaw such as "Finding Significant Opinions Citing Your Case With Google Scholar" or, more bluntly, asking straight up: "Why Are You Paying For Legal Research?"
In the recent "Why Are You Paying For Legal Research?" post, Futurelawyer wrote that Google Scholar is now a "complete legal research solution:"
It contains the full text of just about every case ever decided, has a really good search engine, and has official pagination, internal linking to the full text of every cited case, a built in Shepard's like citator, which, with one click, will pull up every case that has cited the case you are viewing. $69 addon, CiteStack, creates pin cites, and memoranda on the fly, while you are doing Scholar research.
In a post today, Futurelawyer added that Google Scholar is now moving toward "making Shepard's citations irrelevant" because Google Scholar search results are now "listed by sorting the citing cases by prominence and amount of detail in the citing case. A great feature, and it will make legal research much faster and easier."
The Research Freedom blog reported in late April 2012 that in its own admittedly unscientific test comparing KeyCite and Shepard's results with Google Scholar's "How Cited" Results for two state cases, the services were quite comparable.
With respect to both cases, every citator result that affected the validity of the cases (negative citing references) appeared in all citators, including Google Scholar, towards the top of the results. All results that discussed the cited cases appeared in all citators, as well. In connection with these two particular cases, the ordering of results were substantially similar in all citators.
Research Freedom did note that, unlike West or Lexis, Google Scholar does not index most unreported or unpublished cases.
Others have written recently that Google Scholar is still not ready for prime time in some areas. On the Lawyerist blog last week, Josh Camson wrote that despite being a strong advocate of Google Scholar, his small firm has "seen the light" and is now spending some money (under $300 per month) to use Westlaw.
How close are we to a time when lawyers will not need to pay for legal research? I assume we are not there yet, but please weigh in if you have any insights on this.

Temporarily Out Of Stock
Item # BLS001K
Don't get too bummed. This item is on the way and will be available for purchase as soon as it rolls into the warehouse.
Can't wait? Consider one of the other Women's Wetsuits we have in stock.
View similar productsBlueseventy Reaction Full Wetsuit - Women's $499.95
Every advantage matters when you're fighting for position in open water, but the most expensive wetsuits can cost as much as a round-trip ticket to the other side of the world. If you want to keep your pennies in your travel fund while still gaining a swim advantage this year, invest in the Blueseventy Reaction Women's Wetsuit. Sitting just below Blueseventy's top-of-the-line Helix, the Reaction costs half as much but still delivers significant improvements to buoyancy and body positioning compared to more entry-level models.
Part of what separates higher-end wetsuits from their more entry-level siblings is the type and arrangement of neoprene used. For the Reaction, Blueseventy employs thinner Yamamoto neoprene on the arms and lower legs, which improves mobility in the water compared to less expensive, uniform wetsuits. Along the core, hips, and lower torso, Blueseventy uses a 4-5-4 design to put your body in an efficient "downhill" swimming position. This, coupled with the wetsuit's upper body flexibility, encourages more powerful strokes and reduces energy loss and fatigue.
- Gain an edge this tri season without taking out a loan
- Updated design is more flexible for improved mobility
- Durable neoprene construction improves buoyancy and glide
- SCS coating reduces friction and improves glide
- Split V02 chest panel accommodates lung expansion
- Full-length zipper helps you get through T1 quickly
- Legs can be cut up to 6cm to the right length for you

So you are giving 2 big 5 for one day and nothing in elo for 1 month
Dear All, unfortunately this coliseum event is for th users who have nothing else to do, but playing UR. What the @#$@&#$ you were thinking with unlimited battles. The winner will be the one who will play for 10 hours straight......!!!!!!!! Congratulations UR, you still amazing us (with the wrong meaning).
Also, in order to give you some thoughts for next coliseum, check the following suggestion:
Pillz / Life: 10 / 10
Your Deck cannot contain fewer than 8 characters
Your Deck cannot contain more than 8 characters
Your Deck cannot contain fewer than 4 Clan(s)
Your Deck cannot contain more than 4 Clan(s)
Your Deck should not exceed level of 16 (that means only 2* characters)
Your Deck must be balanced: all the Clans must have the same number of characters
Leader Cards – Not aloud
Banned ELO cards – Not aloud
Cards with ability/bonus that adds Life – Not aloud
Every win counts 3 points
Draw counts for 1 point
When you lose a battle remove 2 points
Time out & Default wins add 3 points
Players that Timed out or withdraw then remove 3 points
Max. Matches 25
This is just a thought and Administrators & users could add their ideas and prepare something like this in the future.
If you not like this coliseum, no problem, just do not play
When will this coliseum be started?
Giallos is psychic.
Saga check this out
I must admit that no battle limit means that the guys playing from 2pm until midnight will have the top spots.
Imagine your brain's and your eye's condition after a 10 hour event in front of your pc. Imagine your wife's and kids wrath.
-"Darling, why don't you take care of us anymore?"
-"Don't be silly, I need the General. Go find another father, Pussycats!".
UR should use the same kind of advertising as for packets of cigarettes "Playing too much kills".
That's all folks
Max matches per person = 45
There's an oversight in the rules. It's not commons only, it's commons and legendaries.
Max matches added...that make it better, but still a nonsense.
2 Big 5.............i will leave UR soon..........

The first hour
1 August 1981
At 12.01am on Saturday 1 August, 1981, MTV introduced itself to the world by hijacking images of the Apollo 11 moon mission and using the now immortal phrase, "Ladies and gentlemen, rock'n'roll" before airing its first video, "Video Killed the Radio Star" by the British pop group The Buggles (Trevor Horn and Geoff Downes). In its first four minutes on air, MTV had managed to be brash, cheeky and exciting – bywords that it still tries to live by.
Michael Jackson's "Thriller" video premieres
2 December 1983
The addition of "Billie Jean" to the mainly white MTV playlist broke down a huge cultural barrier, but the 15-minute, John Landis-directed "Thriller" clip broke down creative ones. The epic promo simultaneously paved the way for Jacko's superstardom as well as ensuring MTV's graduation from rinky-dink cable channel to a brand that could make or break an artist's career.
MTV launches VH1
1 January 1985
The sound of parents tutting disapprovingly was music to the ears of MTV's earliest producers. But the network rapidly realised that creating a sister channel to cater for older tastes would keep their younger viewers watching once they had grown up. And thus, the MoR heaven that is VH1 was born.
Live Aid
13 July 1985
Although the ABC network televised an edited version of the Live Aid concerts in London and Philadelphia to American homes, MTV's broadcast was virtually constant and helped to communicate the event's philanthropic message to younger music fans.
Run DMC and Aerosmith bring rap to MTV
Hip-hop was given a wide berth by MTV until the Queens outfit Run DMC and Steven Tyler's then-past-it 1970s rockers Aerosmith united for the groundbreaking rap-rock hybrid "Walk This Way". Not only was it the first rap video to get played on the channel, it was also the first rap single to go Top 10 in the US.
120 Minutes premieres
10 March 1986
Indie-rock fans naturally felt left out of the MTV party, until 120 Minutes began catering for leftfield tastes in 1986. In doing so, the channel helped to seed the alternative rock explosion of the early 1990s.
Headbangers Ball premieres
18 April 1987
As the hair-metal groups of the 1980s descended into self-parody, Headbangers Ball gave exposure to the newer and more abrasive strands of the genre such as thrash and death metal. Without the show highlighting these nuances to the world, the onslaught of daft bandanas and ridiculous bouffants may never have stopped.
Yo! MTV Raps premieres
6 August 1988
With hip-hop still struggling to get exposure among the rock and pop videos that monopolised daytime programming, MTV finally created the specialist Yo! MTV Raps for fans of the genre, airing every weekday night and hosted by the graffiti artist Fab Five Freddy. The result helped communicate hip-hop culture across the world and within 10 years, it would be the dominant musical genre of the network.
Bon Jovi go acoustic
6 September 1989
The New Jersey titans stripped down their usual rock-pomp pitch to a more simplistic acoustic set-up for a medley of "Livin' on a Prayer" and "Wanted: Dead or Alive" at the 1989 Video Music Awards (VMAs). Unwittingly, they provided the channel's executives with the inspiration for MTV Unplugged, which would go on to be a staple of the network's programming.
Madonna's "Justify My Love" video is banned
The sight of Madonna dancing in front of burning crosses and lusting after a black Jesus in the 1989 "Like a Prayer" video stoked the flames of controversy. Madge went a step further the following year with the video for "Justify My Love".MTV promptly banned it but the furore sent the singer's profile even further into the stratosphere.
Bill Clinton on Choose or Lose
16 June 1992
MTV launched their Choose or Lose campaign in 1992, aiming to propel young people to the voting booth – something which Bill Clinton, then the Governor of Arkansas, saw as being an untapped source of support for his White House run. That same year, he appeared on the network in a town-hall style debate. Clinton's savvy attempt to cultivate a hip persona meant that the 1992 election saw a spike in the turnout of young voters, helping to lay the foundations for a two-term presidency.
Beavis and Butt-head premieres 22 September 1992
After a decade on the air, MTV had created its own subculture of TV watchers: mostly white, middle class, in their mid- to late-teens, and with greatly reduced attention spans resulting from years of sitting through four-minute music videos. The animator Mike Judge chose to adroitly satirise the MTV generation in the shape of Beavis and Butt-head – two greatly exaggerated examples of that demographic – and created a hilarious early-1990s institution in the process.
Jon Stewart launches his TV career
Before he became a politically influential darling of the American liberal media with The Daily Show, Jon Stewart was a jobbing stand-up and comedy writer who got his first real TV gig in the shape of The Jon Stewart Show. The late-night talk show was cancelled but it's fairly safe to say that Stewart can look back and laugh now.
Nirvana perform on Unplugged
18 November 1993
The grunge group's appearance on Unplugged should have been a train wreck. The setlist (including several obscure covers) and Kurt Cobain's drug addiction left MTV's producers fearing the worst. But the Seattle band prevailed to give a beautifully paced performance, which was made all the more poignant by Cobain's death just six months later.
Pedro Zamora on the Real World: San Francisco
Having sought to raise awareness about HIV and AIDS by lecturing across America, the HIV-positive Pedro Zamora reasoned that he could reach more people by being on MTV's hugely successful new franchise The Real World, a pioneering reality show which placed perfect strangers together in a house and filmed the results.
Weezer's "Buddy Holly" is played to death
This incessantly aired clip featured the LA band convincingly spliced with footage of the 1970s TV series Happy Days. It rocketed them to fame. Suddenly, music videos were no longer considered merely as commercials for music, but as stand-alone pieces of visual art.
Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley kiss
8 September 1994
"Just think, nobody thought that this would last," remarked Jackson just before planting a desperately unconvincing and uncomfortable kiss on his then new wife Lisa Marie Presley on stage at the MTV Awards in 1994. Unsurprisingly, it didn't last.
Courtney Love crashes Madonna's interview
7 September 1995
Another classic VMA moment, this time courtesy of an intoxicated Courtney Love, who crashes Kurt Loder's interview with Madonna and begins babbling. Madonna's publicist then intervenes, physically pulling her shocked client away and leaving Courtney to completely unravel before ending the surreal interlude by falling off her chair.
MTV UK & Ireland launches
1 July 1997
The new channel would serve as a launch pad for the careers of Edith Bowman, Zane Lowe, Kelly Brook, Cat Deeley and even Russell Brand, who all presented shows on the network early on.
James Cameron turns down Titanic 2
30 May 1998
The MTV Movie Awards usually feel like a more sedate younger sister to the more rebellious VMAs, but the specially made skits that send up Tinseltown are always a highlight, none more so than this segment featuring Vince Vaughn and Ben Stiller pitching James Cameron an idea for a sequel to Titanic.
Jackass premieres
12 April 2000
A show about a group of guys hurting themselves and relentlessly pranking each other was never going to win critical acclaim. But a spin-off video game and three multi-million-dollar-grossing movies have turned the show's lowest-common-denominator content into staggeringly high profit margins.
MTV Cribs: Redman
6 March 2001
MTV Cribs gave the world the best insight into the lifestyles of the rich and the famous but they were not always as glamorous as you might imagine. This legendary episode featured the rapper Redman, who proudly showed the show around his fleapit bachelor pad in Staten Island, which featured a box of dollar bills on the fridge, his cousin sleeping on the floor and a doorbell that had to be operated by touching two live wires together. Classy.
Mariah Carey has a breakdown on TRL
19 July 2001
Mariah Carey's erratic behaviour was already causing concern during the summer of 2001, when the crazy train arrived at MTV's daily request show TRL. During a live broadcast, Carey arrived unannounced before giving out ice creams to the audience, doing a mini-striptease and babbling about needing therapy, much to the shock of the host, Carson Daly. The singer checked into a clinic just days later.
The Osbournes premieres
5 March 2002
The dysfunctional family has always been the basis of much TV gold, but when said dysfunctional family is real and headed by a world-renowned rock star, you've got TV platinum. The Osbournes earned MTV its highest ratings, a great deal of which was due to Ozzy's comical and doddering appearance, since revealed to be a result of the singer's addiction to alcohol at the time.
Justin Timberlake of Punk'd
17 March 2003
Before Ashton Kutcher became the world's most well-known cradle snatchee, he was the world's most well-known celebrity wind-up merchant thanks to MTV's Punk'd. Of all the elaborate set-pieces that the show constructed, the very first episode, in which Justin Timberlake has his house, belongings and even his dogs repossessed to pay off an unsettled tax debt, was one of the most entertaining.
Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show
1 February 2004
Although not broadcast on MTV, the 2004 Super Bowl half-time show was produced by the network in an attempt to give the event a more contemporary edge. A racy routine featuring Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake culminated in Timberlake ripping off Jackson's outfit and momentarily revealing her nipple. Parents in America's heartland fumed at having to explain anatomy to their impressionable children, and the Super Bowl half-time show has been kept painfully safe ever since.
MTV Cribs: Richard Branson
8 March 2005
Slightly more ostentatious than Redman's place was the private Necker Island (part of the Virgin Islands) owned by Richard Branson, who, at one point, gamely sent up his multi-billionaire reputation by allowing the crew to film him while sitting on the toilet pretending to relieve himself.
Kanye West vs Taylor Swift
13 September 2009
Kanye West's infamous interruption of Taylor Swift's award-acceptance speech at the 2009 VMAs was such a talking point that even President Obama felt the need to label him a "jackass". If ever there was a case of creating publicity that money can't buy, that was it.
Jersey Shore premieres
3 December 2009
Just when reality TV seemed to be approaching a dead end, MTV revitalised the format by placing a group of oversexed Italian-Americans together on the eponymous summer destination. The show became an instant success and the cast remain celebrities.
Lady Gaga's meat dress
12 September 2010
Even though she wasn't performing at the 2010 VMAs, Lady Gaga stole the headlines by sporting an outfit made almost entirely of meat. PETA naturally slammed the stunt. They needn't have bothered; meat has rarely looked that unappetising.
