seeing is forgetting the name of the thing one sees.
Set Fire To Yr Cargo Shorts!
A friend recently asked me to help him update his wardrobe. Fashion is dumb, but the pursuit of style will serve you well. I wrote this for him, and am reposting it here, in the hope that one more man will toss his ill-fitting jeans.
Men's style is about you wearing the clothes, not the clothes wearing you. A simple color palette and classic fits allow you to present yourself to the world, not distract it with pieces that are too big, too worn or too loud.
These are just rules, and for every rule, there are exceptions. Would I recommend a purple hoodie for everyone? No, but I've seen it work on an adult man, and I applaud him. Linsday Buckingham somehow pulled off a kimono! The best accessory you can have is being comfortable, and not wondering if you look like a tardbox in some trendy accessory (if you're worrying about that, you do). The goal is to forget what you're wearing, and the quickest route is simple pieces with a good fit. Blues and browns are hard to get wrong, and brown leather, flannel and corduroy won't let you down.
throw a flannel/plaid on it. everybody does this now so it seems redundant but it's tried and true: everybody's getting done! Women like this because it makes men seem rugged, and what we really all want is someone to kill dinner for us. Same principle as beards. It pains me to admit this, but I seriously didn't even KNOW I wanted someone to kill anything for me until I experienced the magic of beard burn. Most importantly, plaids look laid-back and cool, and that always wins. Make sure they're well fitting.
shoes: no animal, vegetable or mineral should ever leave the house with running shoes if they're not going for a run. The only exception to this rule extends to individuals who are already dads. It must be noted that they most certainly did not become dads by leaving the house in nikes and baggy Lees. Inconspicuous non-athletic sneakers are ok, ie Vans or something. Neon should be avoided unless you're a 19 yo hip-hop star. I would encourage all men to venture into a non-sneaker of their choosing; the right one can be achieved by trying out styles at your friendly thrift store. I like a brown loafer, or perhaps a wingtip for the advanced. I'd stick to broken-in brown, black is too formal and you look like you stole them from a clueless dad from the 80s. Boots are masculine and suggest that you're a cowboy or something, plus subliminally suggest "knocking boots" (maybe that's just me), both good things.
T-shirts: T-shirts should be well-fitting and plain. You don't want your shirt to say more than you do, so find a shirt slightly quieter than your own personality. I've seen people drown in their own design, and it's sad. Conversely, I wanted to marry a guy in my freshman writing class who wore "World's Best Grandma" shirts. Logos are gross. V-necks are a good way to go, deep-Vs for the gay or professionally sexy. A heather gray is classic, and make sure it's not too long. Should fall about an inch below waist of pants, which leads us to:
Jeans: I cannot overstate the importance of your choice in denim. Style is about letting your clothes act as a backdrop for who you are, and nothing shrieks I'M EXTREMELY UNINTERESTED IN THE ACT OF LIVING like ratty jeans that cover your shoes. The only person in carpenter jeans I've ever even come close to wanting to jump on was a six-foot blonde glass blower from Vermont, because his carpenter-cut Lees (GUH!) said "fashion sucks, I'm a glassblower." There is not another creature on the planet who can afford to commit that misstep. Your jeans should remain completely silent, and should have a tailored leg and a slim fit. All you ever need to know: Levis 501s. In medium-dark to dark wash. Nothing is a more effective panty melter than well-fitting jeans (with leather belt) a fitted t-shirt and some slip-ons or loafers.
Jewelry: Less is more. Too much and you probably also have tribal tatts and an ex-wife who you swapped for the swinging life style (ie drunk 18 year olds at alt-rock festivals).
A note on shorts: unless they're denim cutoffs and you're on a fixed Bianchi, I don't want to see any skin below the knee. An exception is running shorts, which I personally will get into car accidents over. Cargo shorts are suitable for uncles and brotards whose most meaningful relationship is with their PS3 and bong, not people I want to date or whose opinion I would ever take seriously. On anything.
Sunglasses: Aviators or wayfarers, only, ever. Anyone with wire-rim sunglasses might as well also have DOUCHEBAG scrawled onto his forehead.
Accessory Overload is for Tweens: Nothing says "I DONT KNOW WHO I AM!" louder than someone drowning in trends. Unless you're a Venezuelan-born psych-folk-singer with an expensive peyote habit and a bad actress girlfriend, forget trying more than one piece of jewelry/scarf/hat at a time (98% of dudes in fedoras are tools, the other 2% are balding). Belts are a good place to get in some detail if the rest of the outfit's simple. Hand-tooled leather is classic.
For everything to avoid, see Gob from Arrested Development. For everything to embody, see Three Days of the Condor-era Robert Redford.
CHRIST I can't believe I just wrote so much on fashion. I realize this makes me seem like one of those crazy beezies who secretly throws away her boyfriend's favorite t-shirt because it's old, which I would never do because that's insane, and I actually don't care that much.

dinner party disaster: averted!
A Bit of Fry and Laurie
in which Mellencore is silenced.
Back in 2003, I was living at home, wearing purple eyeliner to my boring service industry job and spending most of my time collaging. I had a fresh driver's license and the thrill of rolling around in my mom's car at night listening to the Raveonettes and using her Hollywood Video rental card to check out Marlon Brando movies was unparalleled.
The guy at the counter was a plump ginger with a long ponytail under his Hollywood Video-issued baseball hat who I suspected had a crush on me since I was the only teen coming in without my kid and buying the king size pack of jujufruits. I ignored his halting glances since I didn't really start talking to boys until I was about 20, even ones I had no interest in.
One day, I checked out Slacker, because the case looked weird and I had just recently discovered that I was cooler than anyone I knew, having been educated at a prep school in which my peers' interests ranged from the fall j. crew catalog to the spring j. crew catalog. I got home, popped in the VHS (earnestly) and got to work stenciling "London Calling" lyrics onto t-shirts I'd just picked up at the Gap on sale for $9.99.
Slacker was weird, I couldn't really make sense of the characters and the lack of plot line got lost in my intense stenciling session– I later moved onto Bowie lyrics.
Eight (!!!!11) years later, my life is eerily (depressingly?) similar to that of my eighteen year old self. Despite my B.A. and having traveled the world, the only tangible element that's different today from the scene described above is that I now use my mom's Netflix account. And I know how to talk to boys now, but that's a different story entirely. Tonight as I was sitting around making record cover journals, feeling inexplicably attracted to Ted Nugent, I decided to scroll through the Netflix collection, and Slacker caught my eye once again.
The film that I watched tonight, of course, is the same as the VHS I rented a thousand beers ago, but oh how my perception of it has changed. What once seemed like dreamy esoterica has since become the soundtrack to my own life; the characters, once just that, are now people I have met over and over, comprising my own anchor to post-collegiate reality. While I was completely engrossed in the film and finding myself in conversation with these people, a thought entered into my head: Is this movie making fun of us? Is Richard Linklater looking at 20-somethings who sit around drinking beer, talking about their lives and the world, politics and their relationships, with their friends and roommates and strangers, and deeming it all a waste of time? The film is called Slacker. Is the film's thesis that we're aimless, rootless, wasting our time and our potential to fulfill that great American myth of "making something of ourselves"?
As anyone with a hundred thousand dollar degree in Why The World Sucks and a barista job to prove it knows, "Our Generation" is the topic of a thousand porch/bar/breakfast PBR 30-packs. The Oxford English Dictionary defines "slacker" as "a person regarded as one of a large group or generation of young people (especially in the early to mid 1990s) characterized by apathy, aimlessness, and lack of ambition". They may have to alter the era included in their definition. Is it not "Our Generation," the children of those hardworking model Americans, the baby boomers, that has been called out on a hilariously frequent number of occasions by the New York Times for being lazy, ego-driven, sext-crazed narcissists? Slackers, in the truest sense of the word? Intra-generational hand wringing abounds at the NYT as their op-ed columnists tell us to stay out of restaurants and save our money. In preparation for footing the bill for "Their Generation's" gross mistakes, of course.
Every conversation over porch beers at noon on a Tuesday elicits the same conclusion: we're not unmotivated, the ones pushing papers and paying their bills are. We're the ones who are looking for something more, the ones who refuse to settle for what we've been given. We're taking the path of least resistance, fighting with ourselves and everyone else for answers instead of with the TV over Dancing With the Stars.
And it turns out Linklater agrees: "Slackers might look like the left-behinds of society, but they are actually one step ahead, rejecting most of society and the social hierarchy before it rejects them. The dictionary defines slackers as people who evade duties and responsibilities. A more modern notion would be people who are ultimately being responsible to themselves and not wasting their time in a realm of activity that has nothing to do with who they are or what they might be ultimately striving for."
Slack on, "our generation."
David Foster Wallace Is My Boyfriend
Summer: Books and iced americanos amiright. Here's how I wiled away my splendid underemployment and hedonistic afternoons sweating in public.
Persepolis II, (2001) Embroideries (2006) and Chicken With Plums (2006), Marjane Satrapi
I know, global politics are not that sexy. Until you've met Satrapi. Her graphic novel Persepolis breathes humor and humanity into the Iranian revolution with the intimacy of a friendly conversation. Embroideries is an afternoon spent with her aunts and mother's friends as they chat about sex and love, and Chicken is an elegy to her late uncle that manages to be touching and funny. Satrapi is a rare storyteller of heart and wit.
I Thought My Father Was God: And Other True Tales From NPR's National Story Project, edited by Paul Auster (2000)
A lengthy collection of non-fiction short stories from Americans of every demographic. Some pieces are powerful, some aren't, but together they form a wide view of American life in the past half century. Not a particularly hard-hitting collection; racism is mentioned approximately once in this version of American history and sexism, classism, etc, not at all. But perhaps the collection is most successful when the reader eschews all notions of what "America" means and instead listens to the voices of these ordinary people.
Agee: Film Writing and Selected Journalism, James Agee (2005)
Agee: not an ordinary American. The author of Let Us Now Praise Famous Men and the Pulitzer-prize winning A Death In The Family was also an extremely prolific critic and essayist. His essays on film here from the 1940s and 50s are insightful, honest and art in themselves. In the era of blockbusters, or when all you need to sell a movie is tits and terrorists, it's hard to believe that American cinema was once an art form. Does anyone take movies seriously anymore? Peter Travers doesn't count.
Everyone Loves You When You're Dead, Neil Strauss (2011)
A collection of interviews by a marathon journalist. He deals mostly in the music business, and covers every pop and rock star you've ever heard of, plus a few stray CIA agents and lawyers. Because his subjects include the Britneys and Robert Plants of the world, there isn't too much in this volume in the way of existential truths. But it is compulsively readable and Strauss is sneakily ruthless in exposing his subjects as vapid, drug-addled, self-obsessed children, which of course most of them are. Except for Springsteen, but that goes without saying.
How They See Us: Meditations On America, edited by James Atlas (2010)
A collection of essays about America by international writers. There are a variety of sentiments on display here: America has stolen an Iraqi author's homeland and history, America has given a Chinese writer the freedom to realize his artistic ambition. America has failed the world, America has redeemed itself with Obama, America is a "tyrannical prom queen" (as one Nigerian writer's contribution states). One overarching theme materializes: America is everywhere. It does not know cartographical boundaries but instead has permeated the entire globe with its influence and hamburgers. If reality is informed by perception, all Americans need to read this book to discover exactly what "we" are in the 21st century.
And The Pursuit Of Happiness, Maira Kalman (2010)
Instead of the question of whether America is "good" or "bad," Kalman explores what America is. The daughter of Israeli immigrants, New Yorker Kalman spends a year exploring American history and notions of democracy in an attempt to discover if the founding fathers would be satisfied with what their vision has become. She travels around New York, to Washington, to California exploring the government, schools, farms. Most importantly, though, this book is completely illustrated in beautiful full color by Kalman. She paints Jefferson, she paints her lunch. The type is her handwriting, and she incorporates her own musings into the facts she picks up. The book is charming and whimsical but it's not simple.
Pushcart Prize XXXV: Best Of The Small Presses, edited by Bill Henderson with the Pushcart Prize Editors (2011)
I want to marry this book. It's smart, sensitive, brutal, sharp, sweet, bearded… um what? The title sums it up: a collection of the best non-fiction, fiction and poems from small, independent publishers. Over a hundred pieces form the collection and while the subjects and voices are all unique, they are all united in their sheer truth and power. This volume has done nothing less than actually inspire excitement in me to live in a world where art of this caliber is being created by so many people. This book is a gift.
Although Of Course You End Up Becoming Yourself: A Road Trip With David Foster Wallace, David Lipsky (2010)
Oh, David.
In 1996, David Foster Wallace was 35 and had just published Infinite Jest to international acclaim. After seeing a photo of Wallace in his trademark scruff and bandana, Jann Wenner of Rolling Stone decided he was "one of them" and sent David Lipsky to follow Wallace on his book tour. Lipsky spent three days with Wallace, smoking, eating, driving and talking. After Wallace's 2008 suicide, Lipsky published the complete transcript of the interview. For the small but fervent world of Wallace-philes, this is a rare conversational glimpse into Wallace's world, but part of Wallace's unique genius (and hence his devout followers) was that his prose was a direct route to every corner of his unique, crazy, gifted, super-human beautiful mind. Nothing he says here comes as a complete surprise; it serves as more of an addendum to his essays and fiction. Lipsky himself takes some liberties with the format and inserts some commentary which comes off as extremely clunky (to say nothing of the strange feeling one gets that this is Lipsky's attempt to cash in on Wallace's suicide, finding that these three days has suddenly appreciated a shit-ton of value). But those who love Wallace's writing, and his humanity, really, will take any scrap they throw at us, and end feeling a little emptier knowing that the supply is always diminishing.

Drunk on Judgement - On March 27th, 2011, after much deliberation regarding where we would make our purchase, we finally got our hands on a Nintendo 3DS console that wasn't bolted to a podium at knee level. Thanks to a great deal at Toys R Us, we also picked up both Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition and Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars for a decent price. Seeing as the console retails at a staggering $249.99, we weren't surprised to find ourselves alone at the checkout counter. We've spent a month now with Nintendo's glasses free 3D system, and we are now ready to share our experience.
This site is bound to give the 3DS a good review. All sites seem t-
a 2/5? WHAT?1 o.O That's surprising.
Interesting what score will be on 3DS by the end of this year :)

The short answer is, maybe not. If you are not injured and either your insurance company or the other driver's carrier is paying for your car, a lawyer probably cannot do you much good. The same is true if you are slightly injured and recover quickly. You can probably do as well on your own, and you won't have to pay a lawyer. If you take that route, read our section on Dealing with Auto Insurance after a Wreck so you know your rights.
If you have the misfortune to be seriously injured, you should at least consult with an attorney. There is too much at stake not to get some advice. In the long run, if there is adequate insurance, you will probably come out much better with an attorney's help.
What if you are injured, but seem to be getting better? This can be a close call. I generally suggest to clients that if they are fine in six weeks to six months, they can probably do OK on their own. A lot depends on the client. Some people change their own oil, build their own bookshelves and generally like to do things themselves. Some would rather not be bothered with dealing with health insurance subrogation, gathering medical records, and the like.
The attorney's job is to hear your story and do their best to tell that story. They will gather your medical records, bills and investigative reports, talk to witnesses and plan a strategy. If they do their job, the only thing you should worry about is getting well.
If I need a lawyer, who do I hire?
We are blessed in this state to have a lot of good lawyers. Naturally, do not go by the biggest billboard, the loudest TV commercial or the slickest ad in the phone book. Check them out. How many cases like yours have they actually tried to a jury? Are they board certified? What professional organizations do they belong to? How many cases like yours have they actually tried to a jury? What is their win/loss record? What is their fee? How do they calculate it? Do they charge to collect on the no-fault coverage like PIP or collision coverage on your policy? How easy are they to reach when you need to talk to them? Are they the attorney who will actually handle your case? Look at the State Bar website for board certification, disciplinary history and other basic information.
Board Certification: Unfortunately, only a small percentage of Texas lawyers are board certified. Board certification requires a certain number of trials, recommendations by judges and other attorneys, a passing grade on a daylong exam, and continuing education and practice in that area of the law.
Professional organizations: The Texas Trial Lawyers Association is an important group for plaintiff's lawyers in Texas. This group networks freely, shares information, lobbies for consumer protection and provides continuing legal education.
The College of the State Bar of Texas: All attorneys must take a minimum amount of continuing legal education in order to maintain their license. If they are board certified, they must take even more. If they are a member of the College, then the requirements are even higher. An attorney who is a member of the college has made it a priority to stay well informed.
American Board of Trial Advocates: This is one of the elite trial organizations. Membership is by invitation only, and requires a minimum number of first chair trials. It also requires a vote of acceptance by the current members as well.
Next, what kind of firm do you want representing you? There are basically two choices. There are large, advertising firms and there are smaller boutique firms. There are advantages to both. The large, advertising firms will not give you the personal attention the boutique firm will. You will be dealing mainly with paralegals in these firms and may never actually meet an attorney. Still, if you have a routine car wreck, with limited damages they may be a good choice. They will get you the average settlement for a case like yours and they will have an efficient organization to accomplish that. That is their business model. Some of these firms employ good trial lawyers as well. Again, do your due diligence.
The advantage of a boutique firm, and here I am prejudiced since that is what we are, is that your case will get a lot more personal attention. You will know your attorney personally and will have greater access to their time. Still, check them out just as thoroughly.

The initial release of MSCAD 2005 SP1.3 (March 15) had an updated version of our Auto House Tie commands.
Based on feedback from several customers, we modified this routine so it now shows a temporary perpendicular line from the house corner to the lot line.
If you use the Auto House Tie routines, I would suggest removing your existing Sevice Pack 1.3 update using the Add/Remove function in your Control Panel. Then download it again from our website and re-install it.

Most of us know that too much of anything can be a problem. Too much tv can decrease mental intelligence, decrease creativity and increase your amount of time wasted in a day. Too much sugar can cause weight gain, diabetes and increased blood sugar levels. Too much salt can result in increased blood pressure, strokes and even a heart attack. But recent research shows that there may be more symptoms of too much salt…
A new study released by Vanderbilt University shows that diets high in salt could have a large effect on gastric cancer. Especially if you've ever contracted an illness caused by the helicobacter pylori bacteria.
In the study, the researchers infected Mongolian gerbils with H. pylori. One set of gerbils received a regular diet; the other, a high salt diet. At the end of the experiment the researchers analyzed the animals' stomach tissues. Every animal on the high salt diet developed cancer, compared with just 58 percent of those on the regular diet.
And while curbing your salt input seems like a good idea, avoiding the h-pylori bacteria is kind of a crapshoot.
At least 50 percent of humans are infected with H. pylori, at least 90 percent of them without symptoms.

Parks are plentiful and the region's roots in the Wild West and Gold Rush eras are evident around nearly every corner.

When it comes to helping big hydro generators, Governor Charlie Baker accomplished something that eluded his predecessor.
Baker's administration has already helped guide legislation that would require Eversource and National Grid, the state's biggest utilities, to seek long-term contracts for hydropower.
But Baker completed something else that Deval Patrick started: a new system that would essentially mandate energy suppliers to buy more hydropower every year.
This "clean energy standard" was included in a grab bag of regulations the Baker administration just released.
The state already requires energy suppliers to buy blocks of power from traditional renewables, namely solar and wind. The new rules expand the requirement and include hydro and nuclear power in the mix — as long as those generators went online after 2010. There are no new nukes on the horizon. So this addition will almost certainly benefit Canada's Hydro-Quebec, already in a great position for those long-term contracts.
Martin Suuberg, Baker's environmental commissioner, says the agency expects to discuss possibly making some exceptions to that 2010 rule. Depending on what happens, that could help owners of older hydroelectric dams as well as the Seabrook and Millstone nuke plants. (Pilgrim is due to close in 2019 regardless.)
By 2020, 20 percent of our power should come from these low-emissions sources, including 15 percent from traditional renewables. The numbers keep going up from there.
Suuberg's goals: reducing the regional grid's effect on greenhouse gas emissions, while protecting its reliability. These are noble goals. But we'll likely pay a premium for our power as a result.Jon Chesto is a Globe reporter. Reach him at firstname.lastname@example.com and follow him on Twitter @jonchesto.

If the comparison between Hostgator and eHost is based on pricing, eHost will always be the first preference among the web developers because of the lower price. The exclusive features or services that are available at eHost are also offered by Hostgator, but the former one has a lower range than the later. But, apart from the question of pricing, both of them are the toughest competition to each other.
Whether it is a comparative study of the customer support or any other services, both of them are ruling the market simultaneously. While new and pro, both web developers prefer Hostgator, there is a strong customer base for eHost too. Therefore, it is quite difficult to choose the best one when the comparison is between Hostgator v/s eHost. Still, here is a comparative study that will help you to know these two web hosts better. Read on to know more-
Introduction to Hostgator
Founded by Brent Oxley, Hostgator started its journey from 2002 and only within a year, it has touched a huge customer base of 400,000. Presently, the number has increased a lot with lots of happy customers. It is a global provider of web hosting and several other related services.
eHost – A Brief Introduction
eHost is a pioneer to Hostgator as it was founded in 1996 when the idea of web hosting service was not that much popular. From that time until today, eHost is working with its goodwill. The services it provides are all equal to Hostgator and it is still updating itself with the time.
Hostgator v/s eHost – Comparison on the Basis of Reliability
Whether it is Hostgator or eHost, both of them are equally reliable to the web developers around the world. Both of them offer 99.99% uptime which is really great. When it comes to speed, they provide equal services. But, recently there are complaints against the uptime of eHost.
Besides this, Hostgator is always giving better customer satisfaction when it comes about blogging and web developing for businesses. It is true that both of them are equally good, but in serving people, Hostgator is a bit edgy. All customers can be served with a dual segregated transformer, N+1 diesel generator along with gallons of fuel storage.
These are all available with eHost as both of them are from EIG companies.
Hostgator and eHost – Customer Service
When it comes to customer service and support system, Hostgator will always be on the top. They have their professional and skilled customer service department which is available 24/7*365. Therefore, solving any types of web hosting problems can be easy while making a call to them. Not only over the telephonic conversation, but you can also get assistance through live chat. They always prefer a one-to-one solution which is great for the customers. With reliable and knowledgeable staff, Hostgator has been successful in having a large customer base.
When it comes to the customer service of eHost, they also provide such services, but still, there is a fine line between them and Hostgator. This is the place where Hostgator is a bit ahead than eHost.
Hostgator and eHost – Domain Name Comparison
Both of them are suitable to buy unlimited domains under certain plans. But when it comes to Hostgator, you can buy domain name by paying $13 a year.
Once you are signed in with eHost, you will be given a free domain initially. They not only offer a free domain for the first year but also you get a free domain name for a lifetime unlike to any other web hosting providers.
After this thorough comparative study, it has been proved that both of them are almost walking side by side in the industry.…

Many people don't know about me that at this time i'm living in a tiny village 5 minutes away from the city i used to live in ...
I don't like to admit it, I don't like to tell people that ,but I don't like either to lie them so here's the truth.I guess I'm embarrased to say that I'm living in a village.I'm afraid that people will see me with different eyes, behave like they are superior just beause they live in the city and I don't.But hey, I was born in the city, i lived there 20 years so, be aware of that when tempted to judge...But anyway, I don't know why am i fucking care about that.
I mean, the people who realy know me, know me the way I am, and the fact that now I'm living in a village, they don't see it as something i should be ashamed of, they actually say it's something I should be proud of because I'm able to fit anywhere, to adapt to any kind of enviroment(even my mom was amazed seeing how I manage, she said i'm learning fast how to do things and it looks like everything comes so naturaly for me to do you would be tempted to think that i've done these things many times before).
And i guess they are right, 'cause who would've ever thought that me, the girl who knew how to do nothing else but learning is able and will actually do hard work, like taking care of a garden, cutting wood and so on. I'm even cooking and that's something i said i never ever will no matter what...so i'm the perfect example that people can change if they really want it...
Again, what I've wrote is not what I had in my mind when I started but whatever... :)
That is so like me
P.S. Did you noticed the picture I've put here?That's the priviledge of beeing a country girl...when the summer comes...I can take a picture like that of myself and put it here instead...you'd like that, huh?

|Hummingbird or 'Bok' - one of the tastiest flowers ever! Photo credit:
The hummingbird flower is one of the tastiest flowers ever! In fact its been over 3 years since I ate my last, but I can still feel the taste!
Before you eat a hummingbird,remember 2 things: 1) A fully grown, about -to-bloom bud will taste better than one on full bloom. 2) Dig your fingers inside the flower and remove the thin, green stalk that you find in between the petal. That is a bitter, inedible part.
If you like your food in its original flavor, like I do, then chop the flowers in small or medium pieces and just saute with a pinch of salt and turmeric, if you will. That's it!
But if you want a more exotic dish, then get a handful of rava (semolina) powder. Make a thin paste with water, dip the flower and dip fry in oil. You can eat it as a snack or as a side dish at lunch/dinner.
The hummingbird grows all year through and you can eat it anytime! And when you do that, no real birds will be hurt :)

The final section of the former Mansfield General Hospital is about to come down, following a six month project to demolish the building and remediate the 1.3 hectare site.
Contractors CMEC Demolition of Nottingham are getting ready to knock down the last remaining tower of the derelict building, which has remained unoccupied for the past 20 years.
Mansfield District Council bought the hospital in June 2013 and appointed CMEC to carry out the work of organising and managing the removal of asbestos, as well as demolishing the property. The work is currently on course for completion by 21 April 2014.
Residents have been able to follow the demolition of the hospital, thanks to a time-lapse camera system, which has been set up to track the dismantling of the building from start to finish. The high-definition system takes round-the-clock photographs of the site every 15 minutes. These images will be turned into a short video showing the transformational change.
The Executive Mayor Tony Egginton said: "I am delighted that we are in the final stages of clearing the site and on course for completion in April. The hospital was unoccupied for 20 years and had become both a dangerous structure and an eyesore for residents. We have made a commitment as a Council to remove this building and remediate the site. We are hoping that the land will be ready and available for development at the end of the year."

Thursday, 06 March 2014 10:47 PM
SEOUL — A senior North Korean official, believed to be the No. 2 in the country after leader Kim Jong Un, has reappeared in official television footage, belying reports he had fallen victim to a fresh purge in the isolated nation.
Choe Ryong Hae was pictured close to Kim in pictures taken in January and February, smiling but sporting a limp. He was seen enthusiastically taking notes on a visit by Kim to various sites and then appeared at a firing drill on a beach.
Choe is the influential head of the political wing of North Korea's military and appears to have risen to become the second most powerful person in the country after the execution of Jang Song Thaek, Kim's uncle, last year.
Speculation in recent weeks that Choe had also been purged triggered a wave of speculation that Kim was intent on shaking up North Korea's elite and that competing factions around the 31-year old leader were a destabilizing force in the North.
Choe's father was a partisan who fought alongside the young Kim's grandfather Kim Il Sung, the founder of North Korea.
In addition to the public title as the chief political operative for the North's 1.2-million-strong army, Choe holds a seat in the powerful standing committee of the ruling Workers' Party politburo shared only by Kim himself and two figurehead old guard members.
Choe is also one of the two vice chairmen of the ruling Workers' Party central military commission, a post that encompasses two of the most powerful institutions, the party and the military. He was made a vice marshal of the military this year.
In June, Choe was Kim's special envoy to meet President Xi Jinping of China, North Korea's only major ally. The meeting followed displeasure expressed by Beijing after North Korea launched a missile last year and conducted a third nuclear test.
There are frequent reports in South Korean and other media of the demise or fall from grace of top officials in North Korea, a closed nuclear- armed state.
"The Choe imprisonment rumor tells that it is hard to find out exactly what is happening inside North Korea.. and it is a problem to report information based on unreliable rumors from a source far away from Pyongyang," said Cheong Seong-chang, a North Korea expert at the Sejong Institute think tank near Seoul.

Why is it, do you think, that some cultures have developed to be more comfortable with nudity than others? Here in Australia, younger guys and more beautiful guys are definitely on the minority end of the scale when it comes to nude beaches or social nudity. It seems to be more the domain of the older guys, less body conscious guys. I wish more guys had the confidence of the older guys here and acceptance of their own bodies.
In Europe it seems that nudity is more acceptable and the younger generations are brought up with the fantastic belief that nudity among friends, peers and even in general is healthy. I noticed a definite trend when I was in Spain several years ago, people watching as one does, that you see really hot guys and girls arrive at the nude beach and happily strip off with their mates. Here you'll see groups of friends arrive and all leave their swimming costume on.

Prevent Ankle Sprains – Exercises to Prevent Ankle Sprains – Part 1
Been there, done that.
In high school my ankles were so bad that one time I was walking through Walmart, stepped off of a wooden pallet that was holding dog food (the big 50lb bags), and blew out my ankle.
Don't laugh. (well, it is a little funny I guess)
It was bad enough that I ended up in the emergency room later that night because I thought I may have torn a ligament or broken it.
So I feel you.
In addition, as a performance coach and trainer I've seen athletes in all sports (in particular basketball) that have struggled with chronic ankle issues (sprains, pain, swelling, etc.). While the generic RICE (rest, ice, compression, elevate) are great for immediately after an injury (first 24hrs), that isn't enough to help, recover, or prevent further issues.
The other issue is that athletes typically don't do any prehabilitation (think before injury) training which could not only reduce their risk of injury, but also lessen the severity (fewer games/practices missed), improve performance, and increase their speed and explosiveness.
Preventing ankle sprains shouldn't be looked at as time consuming, it should be looked at as performance improving!
I'm not going to bore you with lame therband exercises, balancing exercises, and doing your ABC's with your ankle. That stuff is all fine and dandy (for a few days) but I'll be honest, it doesn't do a lot in the long-term. I've been there and done that (atleast 3 different times with different PT's). The reality is that you need more than that; you need more dynamic exercises that are going to actually help you in the time of need (game speed when you're tired).
So where do you begin? With developing proper range of motion (ROM) at the foot ankle joint.
No matter how many bands, mats, or exercises you use, if you don't have adequate ROM you won't prevent anything. Values vary according to what source you look at, but are in the range of 0-20deg. If you want to truly reduce your risk of having an injury issue, try to keep it in the 10+ degrees range. You can do this multiple ways, but I follow 3 basic strategies on a regular basis to keep the motion and reduce the risk of injury.
1) Soft tissue work.
It's very important to have proper motion of the needed muscles and joints. This means that for the ankle we need to make sure that the lower legs (calves, etc) and hips are rolled out. You can do this multiple ways, but I prefer to use the foam roll for the lower body and follow it up with a tennis ball or lacrosse ball for the hips (glutes).
Check out my complete lower body foam rolling video here
2) Static Stretching.
Despite the bad rap that static stretching (holding a stretch without moving for time), I still believe it has value. At this point in time there is more than enough research that shows it still helps lengthen the muscle(s). At this point, with the current population lacking proper ankle range of motion, I still find that stretching the calves helps keep the lower leg flexible and helps reduce the risk of injury. In theory, and application, we stretch after we foam roll because the foam rolling softens the muscles, and then we stretch the muscles to make them longer. Hold each leg for 30 seconds per side.
Calf Stretches here
3) Ankle Mobility Exercises.
Once the muscles are softened and stretched we will do ankle mobility exercises to teach the body to learn to move through that new flexibility you have just developed. Typically I have athletes do abut 15 reps each side.
Prone Ankle Mobility Exercise here
All of these exercises and movements can be done in about 5 minutes. I recommend that you have athletes go through these movements as part of a warm-up routine.
In part 2 I will cover the exciting part of training to prevent ankle sprains by covering the 'good' stuff.

NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- The real gross domestic product growth rate for the fourth quarter of 1999 was revised to 6.9 percent from 5.8 percent. See full story.
We forecast that Greenspan will continue to raise rates gradually until the economy slows.
The 30-year bond is outperforming the rest of the yield curve with the 30-year bond yielding 6.13 percent and the 10-year 6.39 percent. The peaks in such rates were 6.75 percent and 6.79 percent, respectively.
This situation should continue as the supply/demand imbalances remain in place. We expect the Fed to tighten again but, historically, near the end of the tightenings, bonds rates generally peak. We forecast a downturn in long rates (10-year bond) to 5.6 percent by the end of this year.

I hope and pray to god that such kind of people are few and far in between, because it is just not fair. If you are still thinking, what kind of person is she ranting about?, I'll give you an example. I have seen 2 specimens of the above species in my office, they come in the morning at 6:00 AM and crack jokes about the hypothetical prodigy of Brian Lara and Lara Dutt being called Lara Lara, they don't stop there but continue to crack such gems for another hour and dare not interrupt them, because that will only lead to such unfunny insults which you start thinking about suicide again. And guess what, they expect people to laugh at their attempts, heights!
Anyway, My point is in this country of outdated customs like arranged marriages, I just can't help but think, along with worries about marrying a wife-beater, a cheat, etc i.e. someone from the dark side of the social spectrum, girls and boys should also beware of such ultra boring people. Imagine having to listen to PJs for the rest of your damn life!!!
And the worst part is, nodody will even pity you if you say my husband/wife is boring. "Oh is it? Get over it, I have a housing loan I have to repay, Get back to the real world" is the maximum response you'll get from them.
Maybe they are "good at heart" (An expression I heard in college from a filmi girl about her new boyfriend) Maybe, they are, but I'd rather die alone than with a person who thinks "Golmaal Returns" is funny!
But how the hell can you filter out such people from the crowd? Easy, next time somebody approaches you with a pick up line like "I forgot my phone number. Can I have yours?" and wait (Many not-so-boring people can also commit such blunders, give him/her a chance!), and after seeing your expressionless face which clearly shows disinterest, watch out for this, laughs like Santa Claus "HAHAHHAHHAHHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA", I'm warning you run far far far away from there. Run for your sweet normal life!!!

I'm sat here at this computer typing this post. The computer is upstairs so just to get here all sorts of complicated actions have taken place. And now I'm typing. Where is the administration? It must exist. Just to put one leg in front of the other and keep your balance it must exist. But I wasn't aware of it. I just thought I'll go upstairs and go on the computer.
The church is Christ's body. He said He will build His church. We need administration. It is a gift of the Spirit. It doesn't run things. Christ says 'Do this' and the administration enables it to be done. Without being noticed.
