At both ends of every DNA strand in a human cell is a telomere. Telomeres prevent chromosomes from becoming frayed, fusing into rings, or binding with other DNA. (Think: the protective cap that keeps your shoelaces from unraveling.) When telomeres get short, your body's cells are unable to divide (or reproduce). Eventually, this causes instability in the cells.
The daily packs consist of take-anywhere A.M. and P.M. packets, which should be taken at corresponding times of the day for optimal absorption. The A.M. packet should be taken with breakfast (preferably with an IsaLean® Shake) and the P.M. packet should be taken in the evening with dinner.
The science behind Complete Essentials with IsaGenesis goes beyond the symptoms of aging to target sources of aging. Research suggests quality of life can be a direct result of cellular performance, and telomeres support cell health. IsaGenesis, especially when combined with an Isagenix System, is uniquely designed to offer what Isagenix believes to be the best telomere-supporting product on the market.*

Richard Oakman was the president of a cutlery and silverware company in Greenfield, Massachusetts, but he wanted to expand into the new field of automobile manufacture and sales. Oakman saw Max Hertel, a former classmate of Carl Benz (of Mercedes- Benz in Germany) trying out a gas-powered car on a Chicago Street in 1895. Impressed, he hired Hertel to oversee production of the Oakman Automobile. This Oakman Motor Vehicle Company ad pointed out the car's easy operation (the woman drives with one hand on the tiller) and its carriage-like elegance. Manufacturing expenses doomed the Oakman Automobile; it cost four times more than Henry Ford's assembly-line-produced Model T, of which Ford sold over 248,000 by 1914.

Designing Chemical Engineering & Electrochemical ProcessesTable of Contents Video: Smart Simulation Leads to Superior Process Design
Why Design Chemical Engineering and Electrochemical Processes?
Chemical and electrochemical processes can be investigated, simulated and designed at many levels. Often, it's at the level of chemical reaction kinetics, where reaction processes need to be understood, that your design criteria starts. Yet, as the overall process is designed, the reactors and surrounding units need to work in concert with each other, and optimizing them in relation to each other becomes paramount. This showcase will illustrate many of the different phenomena that can be simulated, such as reaction kinetics, mass and heat transfer, and fluid flow, to provide designs of reactors, process units, and systems involving chemical and electrochemical phenomena.
Video: Smart Simulation Leads to Superior Process Design
Scroll through or select a category to see examples of designing chemical engineering and electrochemical processes.
Reaction Engineering
Modeling and simulations allows us to understand, predict, and optimize over a wide range of processes and phenomena in reaction engineering. Models may involve chemical species transport, heat transfer, fluid flow, and chemical reactions. The transport and reactions can occur in laminar, turbulent and porous media flow, and in single-phase or multiphase mixtures. Reactions can be homogeneous, but they can also occur on catalyst surfaces in heterogeneous reactions. Defining reversible, irreversible, and equilibrium reaction kinetics, should be easy while setting up your model. Connecting these to chemical species transport, fluid flow, and heat transfer in the system leads to a deeper understanding of the process and a superior reactor design.

Mixing and Separation
Effective reactor and process design often relies on efficient mixing and subsequent separation of the component chemical species. This can be achieved by a variety of physical properties inherent to the species, and the fluid carrying them. This includes considering, in either dilute or concentrated solutions and mixtures, mass transport through convection, diffusion, and ionic migration in laminar or turbulent single-phase or multiphase flows. Furthermore, modeling the size and placement of impellers and baffles in stirred and static reactors leads to good reactor design, while understanding the mechanisms of membranes, filters and screens helps in designing effective separation components.

Heat Transfer
Controlling heating and cooling is often an imperative step in designing chemical and electrochemical applications. From calculating the thermodynamic and kinetic properties of chemical species and their reactions, to setting up enthalpy balances and modeling the fluid flow that transports heat through convection, many processes need to be considered. And they all need to be considered together, as heat affects so many other phenomena, such as reaction kinetics, and the properties and flow of fluids.

Batteries and Fuel Cells
Optimizing energy densities and power efficiencies, while requiring longer lifetimes, are the basic criteria for designing batteries and fuel cells. Many factors contribute to these requirements, including transport processes in free and porous media and over membranes, electrochemical reaction kinetics, heat transfer, and structural mechanics. Considering all the physical effects in battery and fuel cell design requires different strategies, based on the same electrochemical principles, for the different actors in this industry, such as lead-acid batteries, lithium-ion batteries, solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), and proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs).

Corrosion and Corrosion Protection
Corrosion is an electrochemical process that can wreak havoc on structures if preventative measures aren't taken. Simulation helps to gain understanding of the fundamental mechanisms and long term effects of galvanic, pitting, and crevice corrosion by modeling the corrosion potential or the current density distributions described by the Tafel and/or Butler-Volmer equations. You can also use it to help design and test protection systems such as Impressed Cathodic Current Protection (ICCP) and sacrificial anodes.

Electrodeposition Cell Design
One of the most important aspects of electrodeposition is to obtain a uniform layer of the deposited metal. Regardless of whether the application is for electronics, wear protection, corrosion protection, or decorative electroplating, uniform current density at the surface of the cathode is one of the most important requirements. This is achieved by cell and electrode design. Simulations allow you to investigate the influence of cell and electrode geometry, electrode kinetics, mass transport, and electrolyte properties on the current density distribution. In a similar fashion, you can also model electrorefining and electrowinning, as well as electroforming, etching, and electromachining

Electrolysis, electrodialysis, electroanalysis, electrochemical sensors, and bioelectrochemistry are some of the more popular electrochemical applications that you want to simulate. Within these applications, different analysis types exist to determine exchange current densities, charge transfer coefficients, specific active surface areas, diffusivities, and reaction mechanisms. The analysis types include cyclic voltammetry, amperometry, potentiometry, electrochemical impedance, and coulometry studies.

MOVIE REVIEW- Not so cool: 'Ice Age' redux leaves viewers cold
Now we know how the mammoths died: sequelitis killed them.
Ice Age: The Meltdown (the "2" was removed from the title a few weeks ago, perhaps to make it sound less like a sequel) is two movies in one, with the wrong one given precedence. Like the 2002 original, the movie is stolen by Scrat, a squirrel whose attempts to snare acorns end in classic cartoon disasters, like Tom trying to catch Jerry, Wile E. Coyote's efforts to grab the Road Runner, and Elmer Fudd hunting that wascally wabbit.
These little episodes pop up every 10 minutes or so, as if to mark the place to insert commercial breaks. Unlike the first picture, the story between Scrat's interruptions deserves to be interrupted.
Maybe the novelty is gone and maybe an opportunity was missed to educate young viewers about the danger of global warming. The setting is the end of the Ice Age (though surely not of the series), when the first global warming melted the icecaps; but while there's some danger of flooding, it looks as if our heroes will be better off at the end in a temperate climate.
It's old news that Manny the Mammoth (voiced by Ray Romano), Sid the Sloth (John Leguizamo), and Diego the Saber-tooth Tiger (Denis Leary) have become a chosen family for each other. Manny is still lonely because he hasn't seen another mammoth in eons. He doesn't like to be reminded that he's the last of his race.
Along comes Fast Tony (Jay Leno) predicting "intense flooding, followed by the end of the world." Manny doesn't believe it until he sees for himself: "The dam's gonna bust. The whole valley's gonna flood!" (Is the sky falling too? Is this the sequel to "Chicken Little"?) A vulture confirms, based on aerial reconnaissance.
So the migration begins, with Sid encouraging Diego to get over his fear of water because there's going to be a lot of it. Soon they encounter what looks like another mammoth, but Ellie (Queen Latifah) thinks she's a possum because she was raised by a family of possums. Once she comes out as a mammoth (after Manny preaches her a "Be who you are" sermon), Manny gets down to business, talking about their "opportunity to save our species."
"How we gonna do that?" Ellie asks skeptically. She might add, "in a PG movie."
The trip is peppered with dangerous sea creatures, jokes about bodily functions ("Don't that (fart) put the 'stink' in 'extinction'?"), Sid and Diego playing Whack-a-Mole with possums, and a production number to "Food, Glorious Food" from Oliver. If the last were done by buzzards instead of vultures, it could be choreographed by Buzz Berkeley.
In the end, Manny has his Ellie, leaving Sid and Diego as "two bachelors knockin' about in the wild." It sounds like a lead-in to Ice Age 3: Brokeback Iceberg.
I thought I remembered Ice Age, to which I gave ***, being a better piece of computer animation than this; but checking out a few minutes on television, the quality appears to be about the same. Most of the attention went into the animals, with several people credited with working on "Fur and Feathers." The water sometimes looks like water, but the ice rarely looks like ice and the rocks look like drawings of rocks.
Maybe Sid overstates the case when he evaluates their crumbling home, "This whole thing's a piece of junk," but Ice Age: The Meltdown can't stand up to its predecessor any more than thin ice can stand up to the sun.
Hooray for Scrat! For the rest, drat!

Magnolia Arrangement Contact us at The Wild Orchid -515-276-4600
- Magnoliaceae
- Deciduous and evergreen trees and shrubs
- Zones vary by species
- Full sun or partial shade
- Regular water
Magnificent flowering plants featuring blossoms in white, pink, red, purple, or yellow. Magnolia trees are diverse in leaf shape and plant form, and they include both evergreen and deciduous sorts. They aren't usually munched by deer.
The following text classifies magnolias by general type; the chart lists species, hybrids, and selections alphabetically. New magnolias seem to appear almost hourly, but most garden centers carry only a few. To track down a prized selection, you'll probably need to hunt through mail-order catalogs.
Magnolia Tree Types
Whether evergreen or deciduous, most magnolias have large, striking blossoms composed of petal-like segments. A few are grown for use as foliage plants.
Evergreen magnolias. To many people, the word "magnolia" is synonymous with our native Magnolia grandiflora, the classic Southern magnolia with large, glossy leaves and huge, fragrant white blossoms―the state flower of Mississippi and Louisiana. Few trees can match it for year-round beauty. It does, however, have its drawbacks. Unnamed seedlings often take 10 years after planting before they come into bloom. Dense shade and shallow roots make it impossible to grow grass beneath the canopy, and the roots often crack and lift pavement if the tree is planted between sidewalk and curb. Leaves drop 365 days a year. And since the tree grows as wide as 40 ft., it takes up a lot of garden space.
Sweet bay (M. virginiana), a smaller tree, is easier to fit into most gardens. Though mostly deciduous in the Upper and Middle South, it's evergreen in the Lower and Coastal South and more cold hardy than
M. grandiflora.
Deciduous magnolias with saucer flowers. This group includes the popular saucer magnolia (M. x soulangeana) and its myriad selections, often called tulip trees because of the shape and bright color of their flowers. They prefer fertile, acid, well-drained soil. They do not tolerate heavy wind or salt spray. Early-flowering selections are prone to frost damage. Related to these, but less tolerant of winter cold and summer heat, are the spectacular magnolias from western China and the Himalayas―Sargent magnolia (M. sargentiana) and Sprenger magnolia (M. sprengeri). Though their early flowers may fall victim to late freezes, one spring season with good blooms will quickly make you forget the disappointments of years past.
Deciduous magnolias with star flowers. This group includes Kobus magnolia (M. kobus), Loebner magnolia (M. x loebneri), and star magnolia (M. stellata). All are cold-hardy, heat-tolerant, adaptable plants. Late frosts sometimes damage their early blooms.
Other magnolias. Less widely planted―but deserving of greater attention―is a group of large-leafed native magnolias generally grown as bold accents or shade trees. Cucumber tree (M. acuminata) and its smaller sibling, yellow cucumber tree (M. a. subcordata), are the source of the yellow blossom color of many new hybrids. Bigleaf magnolia (M. macrophylla), umbrella magnolia (M. tripetala), Fraser magnolia (M. fraseri), and Ashe magnolia (M. ashei) are medium-size trees with huge leaves and large flowers that appear after the leaves unfurl.
In its own category is Oyama magnolia (M. sieboldii), native to western China. It bears drooping, cup-shaped, fragrant blooms after leaves emerge.
Magnolia Tree Culture
For any magnolia, pick planting site carefully. Virtually all types are hard to move once established, and many grow quite large. The best soil for magnolias is fairly rich, well drained, and neutral to slightly acid; if necessary, add generous amounts of organic matter when planting. Southern magnolia (M. grandiflora) is good for planting at the beach, though not on dunes. Sweet bay (M. virginiana) tolerates wet soil. The species and selections listed in the chart are adapted to a wide range of growing conditions and are easy for most gardeners to grow.
Magnolias never look their best when crowded, and they may be severely damaged by digging around their roots. Larger deciduous sorts are most attractive standing alone against a background that will display their flowers at bloom time and show off their strongly patterned, usually gray limbs and big, fuzzy flower buds in winter. Small deciduous magnolias show up well in large flower or shrub borders and make choice ornaments in Asian-style gardens. Most magnolias are excellent lawn trees; try to provide a good-size grass-free area around the trunk, and don't plant under the tree.
Balled-and-burlapped plants are available in late winter and early spring; container plants are sold all year. Do not set plants lower than their original soil level. Stake single-trunked or very heavy plants to prevent them from being rocked by wind, which will tear the thick, fleshy, sensitive roots. To avoid damaging the roots, set stakes in planting hole before placing tree. Prevent soil compaction around root zone by keeping foot traffic to a minimum. Prune only when absolutely necessary. Magnolias seldom have serious pest or disease problems.

A hiker, who fell 10 feet and snapped his ankle, used SPOT to alert a search and rescue team and lead them to his location. Timothy Nye, 60, had been hiking the Pacific Crest Trail for five weeks when the incident occurred. As Nye stepped to the edge of the trail, the ground beneath him gave away. After Nye recovered from his fall, he used SPOT to send for help and U.S. Navy helicopter arrived to lift Nye from the rough terrain.
Upon receiving a SPOT Satellite GPS Messenger SOS alert, a Canadian Coast Guard ship went to the tracked location. Once there crew members found five narwhal hunters. "The hunting party had been hunting for quite a while and due to weather they were delayed for at least three days, so they were running out of heating fuel," said Christian Cafiti, with the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre in Trenton, Ont.
Mother-of-three Nivia Pryor, 44, from Brisbane, was hiking alone on the Bibbulmun Track in the Perth Hills to raise money for an autism charity when she suffered several injuries. Pryor says she slipped and fell in wet, treacherous conditions, smashed her head on a rock and damaged her knee. She believes she was unconscious for about four hours, before she regained her senses and activated her SPOT Satellite GPS Messenger. She pressed the "Help Me" button to send her coordinates to her partner's phone and email, who in turn sent police to her location.

Before the outdoor season begins, it's critical to give your gas grill a safety check. Just because your grill worked great last Labor Day doesn't mean it's still safe to use this summer. In fact, quite the opposite is true. When not in use, gas grill parts can wear out, loosen up or even get infested with bugs that can cause explosions on start-up.
According to the National Fire Protection Association, more than 8,000 gas grill fires occur each year. Many of these fires and explosions result when consumers first use a gas grill that has been idle for a long period of time or just after refilling and re-attaching the grill's gas tank.
To make sure your summer doesn't start off with a "bang," follow these safety steps before firing up your gas grill.
Remove grids. Soak the grids in hot, soapy water and clean them with a nylon scrubbing pad. If they're really encrusted, use oven cleaner in a well-ventilated area and rinse clean.
Remove lava rock. If your gas grill uses lava rock, remove the old rocks and throw them away. Lava rock which is more than one season old will disintegrate and can clog your gas grill's burners. Lava rock can also hold grease which can cause fires. Replacing the rock each year is wise. If your grill uses ceramic or pumice tiles, remove the pieces and clean them with a wire brush.
Inspect burner. A clean and properly functioning burner is essential to the safe operation of the gas grill. Remove the burner, brush it clean and check carefully for cracks, split seams or holes. If any are found, the burner should be immediately replaced.
Vacate venturis. Next, use a small wire bottle brush to brush out the "venturi" section of the burner. These are the small tubed sections which carry the gas to the burners. A special brush is also available to clear these tubes, or the entire burner can be flushed with a garden hose. Clearing the venturis is a crucial step in assuring the gas grill will be safe. Spiders commonly make nests inside the venturi tubes, which can cause a gas backup and explosion on startup.
Check hoses. Rubber hoses, which connect the gas to the tank, often become cracked and can be unsafe to use. Replace any hose which shows the slightest sign of wear.
Test tanks. If your gas grill's propane tank is more than 20 years old, it's time to replace it. Old tanks are dangerous, as are tanks that are rusted or dented. In general, new tanks are much safer. Today's tanks include an "over-fill protection device" or OPD valve, which prevents excessively high pressures from forming inside an overfilled tank. Tanks also come with a built-in check valve to prevent leaks.
Test for leaks. After performing all of the steps listed above, put the gas grill back together and check all gas connections for leaks. To do this safely, mix a 50/50 solution of liquid dishwashing soap and water. Brush the solution on all gas connections and watch for bubbles. If any are seen, the connection is leaking and should be fixed before firing up the gas grill.
Now that the gas grill safety check is complete, you're ready to fire up your gas grill for a safe summer of backyard barbecue fun!

Stop! Bullet Time! (U Can't Touch This)
It was the 27th day of July – a Friday, and it was hot. It was the kind of
heat that turns good fans bad, circulating hot air around the office like an
endless stream of the dragon's breath. We were all sweltering, but it was business
as usual, and business as usual meant not much business at all. We wondered
if anything could pry us from Lady Monotony's vise-like grip.
Then he walked in.
It was police officer (and developer Remedy's newest baby) Max Payne.
He charged into the office like a rabid hyena on steroids. He was spouting some
crazed, insane babble about Valkyries, drugs and being set up. None of it made
any sense to me, just the inane rantings of a desperate insomniac. But before
I could escort him to the door, he shoved me to one side and leapt into the
CD tray of our innocent computer.
I wasn't gonna stand in his way. After all, Remedy says his whole life was
ripped apart in a New York minute – whatever the hell that means. All we knew
was he looked rough. Or maybe he just smelled something foul. His face
was contorted like something
hurt bad, the kind of pain that can only come from a diet of reheated Nacho
Belle Grandes and endless cups of 7-11 coffee. But even still, we couldn't turn
him away. The man was on a hell-bent, by-any-means-necessary (yet extremely
short) mission to right wrongs. Max wanted revenge, cold and sweet, but
he needed our help.
Max made it onto the GR hardrive without a hitch, but completely disagreed
with my Seagate 28Gig HD at home. Why? The jury's still out on that one. Just
know that Remedy's tech support is only open Mon-Fri, 9-5 Eastern time. So we
advise against installing Max over the weekend.
No more than five minutes of gameplay had expired before I realized what Max
was babbling about when he stormed the GR office. Gorgeous and atmospheric story
boards ala comic book graphic
novels, complete with sequential panels and word balloons filled with pulp detective
dialogue, grace the segments between the intense action and graciously compliment
the game's gritty noir feel. Definitely a pretty way to present a story, which
ain't half bad.
The pictures describe the brutal murder of his wife and baby daughter, an intricate
setup for the murder of his partner and some new drug called Valkyr that is
plaguing the streets of New York. It's all connected somehow and had funneled
into a narrow, bullet-riddled mental causeway that is Max's singular
obsession…and now ours.
Once the initial graphic novel sequence passes the first thing that immediately
draws attention is the mouth-watering visuals. The adherence to realism and
meticulous detail is simply amazing. The textures are some of the best we have
ever seen – hands down. They're vibrant without being too colorful to detract
from the game's dark, brooding atmosphere.
Plus, the level of destruction and incredible object interaction is enough
to make a grown man cry. For example, when a stray bullet bites into a wall,
the tiles crumble apart like a crisp Frito under the leaden heel of your neighborhood
game geek. And it's not just walls – paper, boxes, bottles, water coolers, glass
windows, wooden staircases – every surface and object reacts appropriately when
met with speeding hot lead. A true technical achievement!
While his visuals are outstanding, Max's gameplay is relatively status
quo for a third-person shooter. Most of your time is spent running and gunning
through virtual New York's realistically designed levels and buildings, dealing
hot projectile death with the game's multitude of weapons (from a baseball bat
to pistols to machine guns) and picking up ammo and painkillers from fallen
But where other games simply go through the paces, Max Payne offers a new technical
innovation that has to be seen to be believed. Welcome to the John Woo-esque,
Matrix inspired ballet that is shoot-dodging and bullet time.
These are two of the coolest and most stylistic features to be introduced to
the action genre since the polygon.
With a press of the right mouse button while standing still, time is slowed
down to a snail's pace for a few seconds, but moving the cursor and aiming remains
in real-time. The result is a beautifully executed tactical advantage for you,
Max, and the vendetta at hand. It gives you a few extra seconds to dodge or
target your foes. Move in any one of the four main directions (forward, back,
left and right) and press the right mouse button and Max will perform the classic
shootdodging maneuvers (jumping sideways and forwards or flying backwards with
guns blazing) that have made Hong Kong and now US action movies so popular.
A meter indicates
how much slow motion time you have and can be replenished by dispatching more
baddies. Both of these tricks are quite handy when faced with numerous enemies.
We just wish the odds were better stacked against Max in order to force
you to shootdodge and bullet time your way through more areas.
The end result is incredibly cool and leads to some of the most startlingly
cinematic sequences in town. Imagine entering a room with three bad guys, jumping
up on a table, then slowing time down as you leap sideways in the air, rotating
your body to unload a few shotgun shells into the bastards. Their bullets whiz
over your head (you actually SEE the bullets)….but yours find their mark.
The bullet-time ends, the dust clears, and the carnage has been wrought. Awesome.
Many of us were concerned how the control would fare in this new environment.
Well, relax – moving Max around is a simple affair. Anyone familiar with
the first-person shooter genre will instantly run and gun with ease. Yep, our
boy Payne is manipulated by the now standard W, A, S and D on your keyboard
and aiming is handled with the mouse. Easy peasy!
The sound is fine, but not stellar. Often Max's voice sounds like it's
coming from some remote location other than the character. Weird! Many of the
guns didn't have that bassy boom that commands your enemies' attention. Max
could learn a lot from an old fogey like Counter-Strike.
On the flipside, the voice-acting is very good, and, when coupled with the cool
music, complements the dark atmosphere.
And then there's those annoying platformer elements. We don't want to spoil
anything, but man, is it lame. Frankly, we'd rather be shooting and dodging,
slowing down time and emptying clips into the well-modeled bad guys. The platform
bits just seem thrown in to break the monotony, and it still feels like a waste
of game space.
Which isn't to say that more varied gameplay is a bad thing. In fact, it's
too bad Max doesn't offer more variety. There are no vehicles to hop
into and drive around New York or really anything else FUN to break from the
running and gunning (again, the platform parts aren't particularly pleasing).
It's just a straightforward third person shooter…albeit overflowing with technological
Sadly, your adventure with Max will be over before you know it. It took
us between 12-15 hours to complete the whole game. That's really short considering
how long it took them to make the game.
This also means that the replay value is suspect. Completing the game leads
to harder difficulty settings and the cool but tough 'New York Minute' mode.
Here the player has to motor through each level with a clock counting down from
1 minute. You need to kill baddies to obtain more time. It's pretty intense,
but it's still just redoing the same levels in the same order with the same
sequences over and over again. And since there is no multiplayer, you better
get used to killing those CPU bad guys.
Replay value is upped due to the built-in level editor, but it's just not as
easy to use as advertised. It might be simple enough for veteran designers,
but most gamers will find it daunting and unwieldy. I don't doubt many of you
tech-philes out there will figure it out, though, so expect the mod scene to
explode in the coming months. Can you say Matrix mod?
While not without its flaws, Max Payne is a must-have for any PC action
gamer. It looks simply unbelievable, the gameplay and control is easy and intuitive,
and the bullet time makes it the premier action game on the PC. We've entered
a new realm here, people, and I can see the spoon.

TV Guide has the first look at Seth Gabel — who played both Lincoln Lee and Lincoln Lee so memorably on Fringe (parallel universes, bitches!) — as the DC villain Count Vertigo in Arrow, who distributes a drug called Vertigo and... uh... dresses like a '90s vampire. Seriously, I thought he was in a Vampire: The Masquerade LARP for a second. At any rate, Arrow is strangely good, and Seth Gabel is good, so I fully expect the eventual Count Vertigo Arrow episode to be good when it airs on January 30, even if Gabel looks like he's going to break into a cover of "White Wedding" at any given moment.
Bonus: Here's a very silly pic of Gabel being very surprised to find Arrow invading his personal space. Possible caption: "I sincerely hope that's an arrow in your pocket."

June 27 (The Sports Xchange) -
Washington Redskins wide receiver DeSean Jackson told ESPN The Magazine
that he has never been in a gang and that his hand gestures that have
been interpreted as gang signs are dedicated to his childhood friends.
In the interview, Jackson denied reports that he is affiliated
with gangs but acknowledged he knows people who are in them. He said
the hand gestures he uses during games or on social media are not
"If I score a touchdown or make a play and my boys at home can see
me throwing up the area we're from, that's me showing them love,"
Jackson said. "They weren't fortunate enough to make it where I'm
at. All my friends wanted to be in the NFL growing up, but they
weren't able to do that and I was. That doesn't mean I forgot about
them. They're my boys, I grew up with them, and I'm going to give
them love."
Jackson, 27, signed with the Redskins in early April, less than a
week after he was released by the Philadelphia Eagles. NJ.com had
reported that the Eagles were concerned about Jackson's alleged gang
The Eagles have maintained that the decision was purely
football-related. Jackson had 82 catches for 1,332 yards with nine
touchdowns in 2013.

New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton testified at a grievance
hearing this week that Jimmy Graham should be designated as a tight
end and not a receiver, Pro Football Talk reported.
A ruling on Graham's arbitration hearing in the franchise-tag
grievance against the Saints is expected next week, according to the
Graham's representatives contend that he should be categorized as a
receiver rather than his listed position of tight end for purposes
of the franchise tag and thus compensated accordingly.
The Saints' position is that tight ends routinely line up in the
slot and that being split out is part of playing the position.
Graham lined up wide for 67 percent of his snaps in 2013.
The difference between the franchise-tag salary for a receiver and a
tight end is $5.3 million. If Graham is deemed a tight end and plays
under the franchise tag in 2014, he would receive a $7.035 million

Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Johnny Manziel said he will not
change, despite criticism he receives for his perceived
off-the-field behavior.
Manziel has been photographed on occasions with alcohol, gaining a
reputation for being a partier.
Speaking at a Play 60 event as part of the NFL Rookie Symposium on
Friday, Manziel said he does not care how he is perceived by the
"I'm not going to change for anybody," Manziel said. "I'm going to
enjoy my time off."

San Francisco 49ers tight end Vernon Davis strongly hinted to the
Atlanta Journal-Constitution that he will report to training camp
next month without a new contract.
Davis held out of the team's mandatory minicamp last week. At an
Atlanta-area youth camp, he said "at least I tried and I put my foot
down" in trying to get a higher-paying deal.
Davis' contract runs through 2015. He is schedule to earn base
salaries of $4.7 million this year and $4.35 million next year.

David D. Levinson
David D. Levinson, CCNY 1912, was a most visible Founder, attending the annual New York Founders Banquets and chapter installations in New York. He enjoyed particularly visiting New York area chapters to participate in the initiation Ritual which he called a "magnificent ceremony." (Obviously the Founders themselves were not initiated.) Dave Levinson was a warm and gentle man, soft spoken, dignified, principled, intensely proud of the Fraternity. So was his wife, as are his daughters today.
The 6'2" Levinson was a varsity athlete, a powerful swimmer and captain of the CCNY water polo team; the New York Times called him a "most spectacular player." He earned All-American honors in 1912 and in 1970 was named to the CCNY Athletic Hall of Fame. He won the Two Mile Ocean Swim Medal and swam the Hudson River from Manhattan to New Jersey.
A year after graduating in chemistry, he decided on the law and entered law school at Columbia University and twice again was named a water polo All-American, in 1915 and 1916. With the U.S. joined in World War I, he enlisted in the army and quickly rose to become a sergeant. His field artillery unit went to France where he distinguished himself in combat in the fiercest battles of that war. When his commanding officer was killed in action he was given unit command and awarded a battlefield commission. At war's end, discharged as a lieutenant, he stayed in France for a term studying international law at the University of Bordeaux before returning home to practice law.

There is a common misconception that only the extremely wealthy should take the time to protect their assets. In reality, everyone works hard each and every day for the assets they do have.
Unfortunately, without proper protection, you are putting yourself in danger for lawsuits and other issues down the line.
The first step you should make in protecting your assets, whether it be your life savings or your child's college fund, is discussing it with your attorney. Some common ways your assets can be protected include setting up irrevocable trusts and maximizing IRA contributions.
At Cooper, Adel & Associates, we understand that you consider your assets to be more than just the dollars in your bank account.
You base your family's entire future on savings and financial planning. Those assets mean a comfortable lifestyle and a successful, debt free college degree. We want to help you take the steps toward securing your financial future and avoiding trouble that can throw your assets into turmoil.
For more information, be sure to contact our Ohio asset protection attorneys for a free consultation.

The state attorney general, responding to a lawyer's request to sue the state over the Newtown school shooting, said Monday that nothing points to the state's liability in the case.
"Although the investigation is still under way, we are aware of no facts or legal theory under which the State of Connecticut should be liable for causing the harms inflicted at Sandy Hook Elementary School," Attorney General George Jepsen said in a statement released by his office. "Nor does the claim letter filed in this case identify a valid basis to support a claim against the state and, by extension, its taxpayers.""
Jepsen was responding to a request made by New Haven lawyer Irving Pinsky on behalf of an unnamed 6-year-old survivor identified as "Jill Doe." On Thursday, Pinsky filed for permission to sue the state for $100 million with Claims Commissioner J. Paul Vance Jr.
On Monday, Pinsky withdrew the request, he said, citing new evidence that he has yet to verify. He retained the right to refile for permission to sue.
The state enjoys sovereign immunity against most lawsuits unless permission to sue is granted.
Twenty students and six women were killed at Sandy Hook Dec. 14. The shooter, Adam Lanza, also shot his mother at their home. Lanza committed suicide as police arrived at the school.
Pinsky's claim says the State Board of Education, the state Department of Education, and the education commissioner failed to take steps to protect the children from foreseeable harm.
While Jepsen said the attorney general's office has a statutory obligation to defend the claim, he said the claims commissioner's office was not the appropriate venue for a discussion about the shooting.
"Our hearts go out to this family, and to all the children and families affected by the Newtown shootings," he said. "They deserve a thoughtful and deliberate examination of the causes of this tragedy and of the appropriate public policy responses."
Also on Monday, the Connecticut Trial Lawyers Association's executive officers sent an email to association members about Pinsky's claim.
"CTLA joins with all other citizens in CT in mourning the tragic loss of life in Newtown," it reads. "We believe that the timing and circumstances of this action are ill-advised. We will continue to extend our heartfelt sympathies to the victims of the Newtown tragedy, and we remain committed to joining the efforts of countless individuals in Connecticut and around the country to find ways to assist the victims and families affected by this tragedy."
When read the contents of the letter, Pinsky said he liked the statement but disagreed with the part pertaining to his case.
"For my case, what I'm doing is appropriate," he said.
Pinsky said the family of "Jill Doe" contacted him about legal action. He said he hasn't approached anyone in Newtown about the tragedy.
Whether or not the state allows the lawsuit, the claim has the potential to be a catalyst for change, Pinsky said, explaining that people need to focus on making schools better and safer before another tragedy occurs.

JAL to resume 787 flights once battery repairs are made
System being installed to reduce fire risk from lithium ion batteries.
TOKYO — Japan's transport minister said the government will allow Japanese airlines to resume flying grounded Boeing 787s once they complete installation of systems to reduce fire risk in problematic lithium ion batteries.
The ministry gave the official approval April 26 evening following a formal safety order from US Federal Aviation Administration.
"We have reached a conclusion that there is no problem with the judgment by the FAA," Transport Minister Akihiro Ohta told reporters. "We believe all possible safety measures would be taken to prevent recurrence of similar problems."
The 50 Dreamliner jets in service worldwide were grounded in mid-January after incidents with smouldering batteries occurred aboard two different planes. Japan's All Nippon Airways was the launch customer for the technologically advanced airliner and has 17 of the jets. Japan Airlines has seven.
The groundings have led to hundreds of cancelled flights and big revenue losses.
The FAA posted a safety order online Thursday allowing 787 flights to resume once the batteries are replaced with a revamped system that manufacturer Boeing Co. says sharply reduces the risk of fire.
Japan is requiring ANA and JAL to take additional safety measures, including installation of a system that allows monitoring of battery voltage on the ground and test flights of all 787 aircraft. A first test flight is expected April 28.
ANA and JAL began installing revamped lithium ion batteries over the past week.
They declined to comment on when their 787 flights might resume. Japanese media projected a resumption of commercial flights around June, because making required safety installations and test flights would take several weeks.

Beautiful slab climbing up compact, weathered rock. The route starts to the right of Gimmi and avoids the top roofs by traversing left above them.
From Cortina drive towards Dobbiaco along the SS51. After the small village Fiames turn left off the main road (signposted Val di Fanes - Trevenanzes). Park the car at the entrance to the park and continue on foot. Follow signs for Fanes, over several bridges and along the forest road. After a few bends the path straightens out and continues along the valley floor, past the Taé walls on the right, and then on to the Spalti di Col Becchei. The path forks at this point; go right over a small bridge onto the other side of the valley floor towards the Spalti. A cairn indicates a small path leading off rightwards through the wood steeply up to the rock face. To reach Illusione Ottica and Thriller scramble up the scree, traverse leftwards along an exposed section beneath a band of rock, and then return rightwards. The other routes are reached more easily by walking directly up to the base of the crag. Taé's routes are reached by crossing the bridge and briefly following the road, to then ascend the gully on the right. Reach the pine trees and then scramble up the ramp rightwards to the base of the wall.
Walk past the start of Via Gimmi and continue to the base of a leftwards slanting corner (tree).
Descend left (west) down the wide slopes to the saddle that separates Taé from Col Becchei. Either continue south and traverse to the Col Becchei abseil tree, or head north into Val d'Antruiles. Follow the path back.
The in-situ gear is fairly good, take a set of wires and friends.

The day starts out so beautifully, with a clear blue sky and a fresh wind blowing through the streets. But by about twelve o'clock I see deep orange clouds appear behind the apartment buildings. I point to the clouds and ask the boy standing next to me what that is. He looks at the sky, raises his nose in the air and says, "I can smell it already. It's the dust. We have another storm coming."Now it's getting warmer and warmer in the city. The cars in the streets move like syrup. People have stopped talking. The city shuts its eyes, the shutters close, everyone who is able to withdraws. The ochre-colored cloud now fills the sky overhead and encircles the city like static electricity.
The last chamsin (dust storm) lasted two and a half days. I had the feeling I was sealed up in an old vacuum cleaner bag.The chamsin originates above the sandy desert in Saudi Arabia, where the air is warmer than here in the northern Sahara. As a result, the dry desert air above Saudi Arabia is sucked into the low pressure area above the Sahara. And poor Cairo waits with closed eyes until the wind dies down and the sun reappears through the haze of dust.

It's a great feeling when you're the last person to ride through the light at Mass and Garfield and you can just ride down the hill relaxed and unworried about a driver pulling up too closely behind you or passing you with not enough distance. Little things like this can (and do) make a big difference to me on my ride home in terms of my demeanor. I'm much demeanor when a driver acts like a dope. Much.
I witnessed some poor decisions tonight. I watched an unlighted bicyclist run a light (not jaywheel) and cut off some drivers. I watched a lady jaywalk and then an approaching driver refuse to brake, instead opting to honk and swerve, even though it was pretty obviously that slowing would have been safer for everyone. And I narrowly avoided a driver who sped past me in order to beat the light in spite of the approaching loud and flashing fire engine. Full moon, I guess.
The hollandaise season (that's what it's called, right?) is one in which bike lanes seemed to be more impeded by delivery vans and trucks than usual, including those of the USPS. Neither rain nor snow nor dark of night will keep these steadfast couriers from blocking my way home. Drivers mostly understand and the ones who don't mostly abide, like the Dude, but not really.
One of these days I'm going to get t-boned on Q by a jumpy bicyclists in the Kleinway (haven't used that one in
Whenever possible, I try to ride to the front of queues of cars and trucks and buses when there's a bus in front. It's just a visibility thing.
Another bicyclist gave me a big smile when we crossed paths at 11th and Pennsylvania. That's friendliness!
The Capitol is pretty much a symbol of contemporary America, in that it's surrounded by free parking lots and over-militarized security personnel. My suggestion about the latter: classier outfits. I'll even let them keep their gigantic guns, but it'd go down better with me if they looked more like Beefeaters, but Americanized enough so tourists don't gawk too much. I'd start here. Wigs optional.
Segway commuter! And some grey beard on a Bianchi! And some other guy, who was wearing khaki colored jeans. They all jumped the red and 2nd NE and East Capitol. I expected the cop to say something, but he didn't. Guess he wasn't psychic or he would've stopped them.
And now for something completely the same. But not really. BUTTONS! THEY'RE HERE. And here's what it looks like on the bike:
Tell your friends. There's a possibility that I'll bring 16 of them with me to the WABA Holiday Party and would be willing to sell one to you if you tell me the SECRET PASSPHRASE (it's: "um, can I buy a button?" Remember the um!) If you've already ordered, I'll be shipping/delivering in tuxedo in the next couple of days.

When was the last time that I submitted a Pokemon character? I'm pretty sure it was a long time ago. Now since people want more Pokemon characters, I will be filling a request by showing you folks "how to draw Dewgong", step by step. Dewgong sort of looks like a seal mixed with a walrus or sea lion. These massive looking Pokemon have large fins, tails, and bodies. They have a white colored coat which makes them blend in well with snow. Their bodies have thick layers of fat which enables them to stay protected from cold weather, as well as retain thermal energy. They can be found in icy climates as well as in waters with ice platforms or ice floes. Drawing Dewgong is going to be really fun especially if you are a fan of this Pokemon. I will be back with more fun either later today, or tomorrow. Adios people and enjoy!

Robert and Agnes Malcom were the paternal grandparents of Allen Beatty Malcom who died during the First World War. For the last several years, I have been researching the men connected with Knox United Church (formerly Presbyterian) who paid the supreme sacrifice during the First World War. The church organ is dedicated in their memory. My goal is to complete the writing before September.
Robert Malcom was born in Antrim, Ireland on 6 August 1831. Agnes Campbell was born in Ireland in about 1830. They were married in April 1854 in Ireland. [1] The couple came to Canada around 1855. [2] Their son Robert was born in Ontario about 1858. Robert and Agnes Malcom had been active members of Knox Presbyterian Church in Owen Sound before they moved to Winnipeg, Manitoba in 1905. Robert had worked as a building contractor until his retirement in 1899. He served on the town and the county council and on the Board of Works. Robert had been a church elder and for 30 years, he was the Sunday School Superintendent.
Allen's paternal grandparents, Robert and Agnes were living with their son William and family in Winnipeg in 1906. [3] On 16 June 1907, Agnes died. [4] She is buried in Greenwood Cemetery, Owen Sound. The 1911 census shows Robert living with William and family in Owen Sound. Robert returned to Winnipeg [5] and died there on 14 February 1917 at the home of his son David. He also spent time with a daughter in Vancouver. Robert's funeral was in Owen Sound and he is buried in Greenwood Cemetery. [6]

Controllers to define consoles in future?
Are graphics still important?
Consoles and videogames will be defined by controllers in future, rather than graphics, according to the head of a videogame development firm.
Alex St John, CEO of PC gaming firm Wild Tangent, made the claim at a recent gaming conference in New York. He also stated that, out of the Wii, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, only the Wii is profitable because it uses "off the shelf components" and is "differentiated by an input device," namely the Remote and Nunchuck.
The Wii is still console king in the US, according to recent sales figures from market watcher NPD. Although sales of the Nintendo console dropped by less than one percentage point between March and April in the US, a massive 714,000 units were sold during the period. In contrast, 188,000 Xbox 360s and 187,100 PS3s were sold during in same time.
St John added that videogames like Rock Band and Guitar Hero are selling particularly well because, instead of using a standard PS3 style controller, the games are "defined by a new type of input device".
Could this be the Xbox 360's next controller?
It has already been rumoured that Microsoft is secretly designing a Wii Remote-style motion controller for the Xbox 360, which could appear in stores in time for Christmas.
Speaking at the same conference, Kathy Vrabeck, president of Electronic Arts Casual Entertainment, said that the Wii has sold so well because its controller set-up makes the console appeal to a wider audience.
"Talk to any Mum…and they've played Wii bowling and they did all the Wii sports and now all of the sudden it is a console that is also for them," added Vrabeck.
Register Hardware's a little sceptical that a console's controller will be all that defines it in years to come. Grand Theft Auto IV, for example, sold almost 1m copies during its first five days on sale in the UK, despite the Xbox 360 and PS3 offering little more than in-game thumb-pad navigation.
Will videogames developers and console manufacturers need to get traditional gamers up off their sofas and using 'unique' controllers to shift units in future? Or, will the appeal of shooting down a helicopter or driving a car with nothing more than a green button and thumb-pad always be enough for some gamers?
Register Hardware wants your thoughts.

ROCHESTER, N.Y. – The Brandeis University men's basketball team owned an eight-point lead in the second half, with juniors Ben Bartoldus (Hillsborough, N.H./Proctor Acad.) and Gabriel Moton (St. Petersburg, Fla./St. Petersburg) scoring 21 points each, but it was University of Rochester senior guard John DiBartolomeo who led the way with 36 points as the Yellowjackets, ranked No. 2 in the latest d3hoops.com national poll, rallied for a 69-65 victory over the 19th-ranked Judges.
With the loss, the Judges fall to 14-4 overall, 5-2 in the University Athletic Association (UAA). The Yellowjackets improve to 18-0, 7-0 in the UAA. UR, one of the final two undefeated teams in Division III looks to take over the top spot in the d3hoops.com poll as they sit two games ahead of the Judges and Emory in the UAA standings.
Brandeis led UR at the half, 29-25, as Bartoldus scored 12 points on 4-of-7 from the field, including both of his 3-pointers, and 2-of-3 from the line. The Judges held UR, a team shooting a UAA-leading 51 percent from the floor, to just 33 percent in the first half. It was only the third time this season the Yellowjackets trailed at the break.
The Judges maintained the lead throughout the first half, going ahead by as many as eight at 50-42 after a Bartoldus trifecta with just under eight minutes remaining in the contest. At that point, DiBartolomeo caught fire. He answered Bartoldus's shot from deep on the next UR possession as part of his team's next 12 points, connecting from deep to tie the game at 52-52 with 4:28 on the clock. Brandeis scored baskets on their next couple of tries, but the 'Jackets were able to get to the line each time, keeping the visitors from pulling away. With the game tied at 56-56, Bartoldus drove the lane and converted a traditional three-point play at the 2:53 mark to put Brandeis ahead 59-56.
DiBartolomeo answered with two more from the charity stripe at the 2:38 mark. Brandeis's next possession was a key turning point. After Moton missed a straight-away 3-pointer, junior forward Youri Dascy (Fall River, Mass./St. Andrews, R.I., School) grabbed the offensive rebound. He kicked the ball back out to Moton, but the junior guard was whistled for an offensive foul drawn by DiBartolomeo. The defending UAA Player of the Year made the Judges pay on the other end, finding Kevin Sheehy for a corner three, giving UR a 61-59 lead, their first since 8-5.
Though that was UR's last field goal of the game, DiBartolomeo hit his final eight from the free throw line. After he put the hosts ahead 65-63 with 42 seconds left, the 'Jackets got another big stop, as Bartoldus's running jumper was off the mark and Tyler Sankes grabbed the defensive rebound. The hosts were able to run 12 seconds off the clock before Brandeis could foul, and they were able to get the ball into DiBartolomeo's hands, and he made it a two possession game with 11 seconds left. The Judges still had a chance after Moton drew a quick foul and hit both foul shots to make it a 67-65 deficit, but the visitors were unable to force a turnover and suffered the four-point loss.
For the game, Bartoldus and Moton's 21 points were joined by 14 from Dascy, as the three combined for 56 of the squad's 65 points. They were overshadowed by DiBartolomeo, however, whose 36 points were more than half of his team's 69 points. He set a UR record with a 19-for-19 performance from the line, shooting five more from the charity stripe than the entire Brandeis team. DiBartolomeo scored 18 of his team's final 23 points over the final eight minutes of play, and added an assist on a 3-pointer in that range.
As a team, UR outscored Brandeis from the line, 29-11, as the Yellowjackets missed just two foul shots all game. The Judges hit 50 percent from 3-point range (8-16), but were just 3-of-8 in the second half. They also held Rochester to just 36 percent from the field (17-47) while shooting 46 percent themselves (23-50). Brandeis also owned a 31-27 rebounding advantage, with Moton and Dascy grabbing seven caroms each. Nate Vernon led the hosts with five boards. DiBartolomeo and Moton also tied for game-high honors with five assists. Rochester owned a 16-11 advantage in turnovers forced, turning the miscues into 13 points as opposed to just six points off turnovers for the Judges.
Brandeis returns to UAA action next weekend, when they will get a chance to avenge their two conference road losses from this weekend. The Judges host Emory next Friday night at 8 p.m. and Rochester on Super Bowl Sunday at noon. UR will open five of their last seven on the road at NYU next Friday night.

A salad packed with veggies and lean protein should not -- we repeat, SHOULD NOT -- have a calorie count as high as the one at California Pizza Kitchen. We HG-ified this salad and give it TWO YUMS UP! Ingredients: 6 stalks asparagus 2 cups eggplant cut into 1-inch cubes 1 cup red bell pepper cut into 1-inch pieces 2 artichoke hearts packed in water, drained, halved lengthwise One 3-oz. raw boneless skinless chicken breast cutlet, pounded to 1/2-inch thickness Dash each salt and black pepper 2 tbsp. frozen sweet corn kernels, thawed 2 tbsp. bagged sun-dried tomatoes (not packed in oil), chopped 3 cups chopped romaine lettuce 1 oz. (about 2 tbsp.) diced avocado 2 tbsp. low-fat or fat-free balsamic vinaigrette 1 tsp. Dijon mustard Directions: Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray. Lay asparagus, eggplant, bell pepper, and artichoke hearts on the baking sheet. Bake until softened, about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, bring a grill pan (or skillet) sprayed with nonstick spray to medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and black pepper and place in the pan. Cook for about 3 minutes per side, until cooked through. Roughly chop asparagus and artichoke hearts. Transfer all cooked veggies to a medium bowl. Add corn and sun-dried tomatoes, and toss to mix. Place lettuce in a large bowl (or on a large plate) and top with veggie mixture and avocado. Slice chicken and lay it on top. In a small bowl, thoroughly whisk vinaigrette with mustard. Pour mixture over salad or serve on the side. Enjoy! MAKES 1 SERVING

How can a salad topped with roasted veggies and grilled chicken NOT be a smart choice? This is the EXACT question we asked ourselves when we laid eyes on the Roasted Vegetable Salad with Grilled Chicken Breast at California Pizza Kitchen. It sounds perfectly light... So what on EARTH makes this entrée so terribly caloric? There's nothing fried or cheesy -- it's basically just leafy greens, roasted veggies, vinaigrette, avocado, and grilled chicken. Our guess? Those veggies are likely tossed in a lot of oil, that vinaigrette is probably packed with fat, and they may have overdone it on the avocado (and pretty much everything else!). And BTW, since CPK doesn't provide the total fat, we used our trusty math skills to figure out the approximate amount. So what's a salad craver to do? Make our swap. And do yourself a favor -- always check menu stats online before dining out. Disaster averted.

Moving Out
Moving Out[edit]
With his parents getting it on and a total of five other kids invading the house, Troy decides it's in his best interested to get out of Dodge as soon as possible. There are two ways he could leave. The first is to go to the neighborhood screen, select the family, and press the Split Household button. You then select which family members are moving out, as well as seeing how much money they get. Now, this money appears out of thin air. If the original family has $100,000, and you move out one adult, the original family will still have $100,000, and the adult gets $16,000 simply because that's how much they're worth as a "new" family.
The second way to split a family is a bit more complex. First, the family in question has to be the active family. In this case, of course, it's the Schultzes. Troy goes to the computer (or he could use the newspaper), and selects the Move command. He then gets to select which family members, if any, move out with him, as before.
The thing is, they have to draw any money they move with from the family funds. Let's pretend the Schultzes are worth $100,000. Let's further pretend that Troy decides to move into a different house worth $35,000. Seth and Holly will give up the cash, dropping their family funds to $65,000. This works with empty lots top: if Troy wants to move into an empty lot worth a mere $1,200, then the Schultzes' family funds will be $98,800.
Now, there is an additional possible step here. If I hit the checkbox marked "Make Active Household," then I'll control Troy when the move happens, and I'll receive all money from the original family funds. So if I move Troy into the first house—worth $35,000 remember—and make him the new active family, then Seth and Holly will drop down to $0, and Troy will move in with a reserve total of $65,000. If I move Troy into the empty lot and make him active, he'll move there with a reserve total of $98,800.
If neither of these options are acceptable—that is, if you want to keep all your family funds—you can get around some of the game's limitations by selecting the "Kick Out" option at the bottom. If Seth and Holly did that, Troy would leave the house and go to a random lot, whether he could technically afford it or not. Seth and Holly do this, and Troy winds up moving next door, ironically.
Later children of the Schultzes however wind up across town in large mansions, however, due to the random nature of the Kick Out command. It's still a challenge for them, if they can't afford their bills, but if they're not the active family, it doesn't much matter. As it is, Troy moves across the lawn, and I don't switch the active family; ergo, Troy lives out his life as normal, will age as normal, might get married and have kids due to the Story Progression option on, and otherwise can be a friend of the family.

Hilary Duff + Mike Comrie Prenup Will Make Split Quick + Easy
The separation of Hilary Duff and Mike Comrie came as a shock to just about everyone, but it turns out, the couple were well prepared for it.
Page Six reports that the pair have a rock solid prenup from when they first got hitched.
When they first married, the New York Post reported, "It was a totally amicable agreement. They love each other very much and knew this was just a technicality." Unfortunately it was also, apparently necessary.
Duff is worth about $25 million from her time as a Disney darling, singer, actress, designer and brand magnate, and she's probably earning a few bucks here and there from staging paparazzi photos of herself walking around. Comrie is worth about $5 million from his days as a professional hockey player -- and he also stands to inherit his family's $500 million fortune from their founding of Canadian chain store The Brick.
Radar Online reports that Duff even earned $1 million for her wedding photos.
Despite the cash concerns, Duff's mother, Susan, insists that the 'So Yesterday' singer and Comrie really are still close. "It's absolutely true that they'll remain friends." And it looks like that's true: they were together yesterday when they announced their separation!

It is not Karson's fault if he can't spell sometimes.
leave him be!
Hey I can't spell either (or type as fast as my brain thinks). Plus flippng the order of the letters kinda messes me up a lot. None of us are perfect, althought we try our best. I am glad to see the main problem solved. Thanks to the wonderful mods!
( sorry, I had to do dat! )
Read this post:
Leave me alone about the spelling!!!!!!!!!!
oh don't mind me, it's just i have a tendency to correct people's spelling (it's my OCD)
I know what you mean, I have O.C.D. too
What's OCD?
Go to MSN.com and type in the search plan, OCD. And there's your answer:

oh...........thank you.
Your welcome?
What? I was just saying thank you.
I didn't put that info there.
Did you copy it?
No. Aaron put it there
Just being helpful. It's kinda a cop-out to say go to a web site and click something when you can just provide links.
I sorta get it now!
Karson and Masterchief, do you need a reminder to stop "spamming" the "spammers" topic? Stop the chatter -- we have a chat room for that and a whole private messaging feature, too -- and start contributing.
Ha we spammed on the spamming topic!
........Uuuuuuuuuuum. Karson, that's not a positive comment. Aaron said we " SPAMMED " on here, so in a way, he's right.
Oh this is just so ironic, spamming on a topic about spammers. anyways, do we even have a topic for this anymore?
Nice point Aaron.
PS. I chatted in few topics.Forgive me? I'm not going to do it again...
There really isn't anything on topic officially. Technically you could consider it on topic by spamming...
This topic is confusing!

Customise response boxes to reflect required answers and reduce completion errors. If asking for a persons date of birth, it makes sense to provide a box with the exact number of required digits and an example or guidance note to explain the format that the date should be entered in (DD/MM/YYYY).
Make structure clear, and provide navigation to reinforce it. Your form will be divisible into sections so think about the broad groups of questions being asked. Whatever your groups of questions are, make sure they follow the right order and give the groups clear section names.

When I attempt to boot from an external drive that is an encrypted SuperDuper! mirror of my internal hard drive, I get a login screen that's missing my account an instead has an account called "[Update Needed]", with no user picture.
I understand that this is a known issue with FileVault, but it is not clear from what I've read whether it is necessary to do anything about this, or if it can just be ignored (after all, the disk is a backup, and the source seems fine).
Can I just ignore this and deal with it when and if I need to use the backup? Is this a sign of problems on the source drive that just aren't showing symptoms there yet (that drive is not, yet, encrypted)?
