When you take time and traverse areas that feature various natural wonders, you see some awe-inspiring sights.
One species not many people see in the wild is a Sandhill crane. Known for being shy and secretive, one may hear the bird's unique call, but rarely spot this huge species because it blends so well in its environment. I have seen these birds in Michigan a few times, but spotted my first ones in Ohio while driving along the causeway in Magee Marsh Wildlife Area last spring. I literally saw thousands of them last Monday on a visit to the Jasper-Pulaski Fish and Wildlife area in Medaryville, Ind.
These large birds, which are sandy in color and have a distinctive red cap on their head, migrate through that area twice a year. And they may number as many as 30,000 during these trips. Juvenile cranes do not have a red crown, but have a reddish cast to their feathers.
As of Monday, nearly 11,000 of these birds had been counted on the area in northwest Indiana about an hour's drive north of Lafayette. According to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, Sandhill Cranes, "give loud, rattling bugle calls, each lasting a couple of seconds and often strung together. They can be heard up to 2.5 miles away and are given on the ground as well as in flight, when the flock may be very high and hard to see. They also give moans, hisses, gooselike honks, and snoring sounds. Chicks give trills and purrs."
Visitors must sign in at a self service check station on the area. We could hear the multitude of cranes just after sunrise before we made it to the Goose Pasture Viewing Area, which features a platform and offers telescopes. It is suggested you bring you own good set of binoculars.
Best viewing times are sunrise and sunset when thousands of these tall birds congregate in the roosting marshes on the wildlife area where they socialize. In the mornings, they head out to local farm fields (corn and soybean) where they feed and also perform their ritual dance to reinforce their bond with their mate. One can easily spot the cranes on private bean and corn fields by driving down gravel roads just outside the wildlife area. Some fields may have as few as 10-20 birds while others may have upwards to 100 or more. They are leery of humans and you are lucky to get with 30 yards of them in a vehicle along the road. You could track them for hours in these private fields.
Sandhill crane pairs usually bond for years. About an hour before sunset they return to Goose Pasture and again socialize before roosting for the night. While commonly seen feeding on grains in agriculture fields, sandhill cranes also eat frogs, fish and insects along with both terrestrial and aquatic plant life, fruits and seeds.
These raucous birds like wetlands and Jasper-Pulaski area is a perfect habitat for them. The more than 8,000 acres offer a large wetland area, one of the few in existence in the Midwest. Habitat there includes marshes, wet grasslands and river basins.
Cranes are different than most migrating species. Many birds migrate alone or synchronize their migration so that entire populations leave their breeding territories and move southward en masse. Cranes stage before migration. Individual cranes, small flocks and family groups start to gather in late September and early October on "staging areas" – wetlands where they roost together overnight as they prepare to migrate. The flocks on Jasper-Pulaski grow through October and peak late in mid November and early December.
They learn the migration route from their parents. Hence over the years, thousands gather on staging areas like Jasper-Pulaski. The birds primary winter nesting area is in Florida.
The cranes seen at Jasper-Pulaski are from Eastern population of the greater Sandhill crane.
Cranes are found in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan and to a degree in southern Canada. They also nest in Indiana and Illinois and in recent years have begun to nest in Ohio.
The Sandhill crane is protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. The year 2016 marks the centennial of the Convention between the United States and Great Britain (for Canada) for the Protection of Migratory Birds (also called the Migratory Bird Treaty), signed on Aug. 16, 1916. Three other treaties were signed shortly thereafter with Japan, Russia and Mexico. The Migratory Bird Treaty, the three other treaties signed later, and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act form the cornerstones of efforts to conserve birds that migrate across international borders.

Good afternoon our teacher and everyone!
On behalf of my group, I'd like to introduce Mr.Diep, Ms.Duyen and me – Mr.Trang. We're here to talk about "cohabitation". Do you know what "cohabitation" means? It means living as wife and husband before marriage. In VN, we call: "song thu". We divided our presentation into 4 main points: actual state, advantages, reasons and disadvantages. Let's go !
Nowadays, there are many ideas about cohabitation. There are different opinions between the world and VN.
As we know, in the world, they can live together as husband and wife before getting married. It's very popular. In some nations, the law don't allow that 2 men or 2 girls live together in a room... You can live with different sex people in the same room. And they always encourage (khuyến khích) this. But, after living together long time, if they feel suitable, they'll get married.
And in VN, a big part of people disagree this. However, young people enjoy very much. They think like the foreigner. Can you see? Let's see a student. They live together as husband and wife. They want to try that how husband and wife live.
And now, I will tell you about the good face of cohabitation.
Let's start with advantages of cohabitation. In my opinion, we shouldn't say it is "cohabitation" that we have to say "live together" before getting married. We should call "cohabitation" that "song that", live very seriously, they are not joking. All of emotion, sex, spending is true.
So that's the general picture for cohabitation as some young people said that cohabitation is not bad. Because through living together, nobody is vulnerable(bi hai). The family is too machinery, we have to try on it to know" has to defect", "has to maximize" satisfactory? I ask for permission give a question that in the life, what has to no exactly and miraculous by try on rule practical.
Moreover "love together" whatever is too beautiful when live together, all of bad habit will be developed. And now if they don't stand up, they can say "good bye my love" Needn't tribunal, haven't to argue, haven't to divide property.
So, to summarise about cohabitation, It is a method system completely has to science basic because if you don't live together have we can know that two people. If they live together, they can know whether they are suitable with each other or not.
As a result will be good if they had already experienced practice. And cohabitation is the most choice.
We can give many causes but there are three main causes. The first is economic condition. When we love some one we will get married. But we can't do it because we have not enough money. We don't organize a wedding, buy an house. So some one choose a solution that is cohabitation.
The second is studying and working condition. There are many people studying and working in some locations far from their family. Exactly, they live far from their parents who often remind, help, take care of them. When they have mistake their parents don't recommend them. Because they live without manager, they can do whatever they want. They are really free. Living far the family, they feel alone and they decide to live together with a man or a woman as husband and wife.
Finally, physiological requirements are very important cause, too. Now, the life has many changes, children eat full nutrition develop both physical and mental. Besides they are affected by sex films, sex photographs. It influence badly on their psychophysiology. Because somebody is curious, want to discover and to satisfy the sexual desire, they accept cohabitation.
Beside advantages, let's turn to disadvantages by presentation of Ms.Duyen
Thank Mr.Trang, and now we'll talk about disadvantages:
Family have changed in the last several decades. Instead of getting married of people is living together or "cohabitating" .Is cohabitation a good alternative to married? Is it good way to "test out" the relationship? We'll answer all questions by looking at the facts beside cohabitation.
1. Living together leads to living alone.
Some people think that living together will lead automatically to married, but that often is not the case. Much cohabitation breaks up. For many other couples, cohabitation is viewed as an alternative is less likely than married to lead to a long –term stable commitment.
2. Stability
Cohabiting relationships are fragile. On average cohabitations last less than two years before breaking up or converting to married. The more likely they are to divorce later.
3. The effects on children.
What happens to children born to cohabiting parents? .Today, more than 13% of children are born to cohabiting couples. However, only about one third of those children will remain with both their parents throughout their childhood. So, children born to cohabiting parents do less well at school and are more likely to suffer from emotional problems than normal children. Cohabitating father seems to not support children and we all know the destiny of these children in their future.
Mr.Trang: Ok, thank you Ms.Duyen about your ideas. And I would like to ask Mr.Diep who was a student of Maritime University with his cohibitation opinions, please you:
Mr.Diep: Umh, cohabitation is a hot tendance in Western countries nowadays. In Viet Nam it is becoming more popular, especially in student life. Today, I just want to mention about the cohabitation of students in Viet Nam.
First, we must answer the question "Why we want to cohabit and not to get married?". There are many reasons for this question. The first may be for some economic reasons. Cohabitation can save many living expenses. We can share a renting house, the worries about daily necessaries and of coz, cooking together is cheaper than one. The second may be the lack of family's love. We all know that students like us, we live far away from home in unfamiliar places so unavoidablely, we often feel so lonely and be like a fish out of water. We don't know anyone here and when we meet a person who has the same circumstance like us, we easily besome wearier. We decide to live together so we can share the emotions( happiness, sadness, the secrets…) and some precious experiences from life. People often consider that cohabitation often be the result of the curiosity about sex , the "goal" they always wanna explore their partners and cohabitation, its easy to establish and say "goodbye" also so the boys, they will not have to take any responsibility for the girls who they cohabit with as real couples. But I think the most popular reason is testing. I mean that some cohabitants think that they should test their marital life before really getting married. Because they live with each other to see if they are compatible or not. Its very important because first we can love our partners so much but after a long time living with them, we can find many problems appeared.
But there are many reasons which object to cohabitation. First, we can find that the problems, especially financial problems are the main reason of arguments. Second, it's the problem of "unwanted pregnancy" and its results. And one thing for sure, cohabitation is hard to come to a marriage when we r still students. So when splitting after a long time living together, one can be shocked and hard to restart a new love.
So, lets think much before deciding to cohabit. The bright future is in front of our heads. I don't mean we don't be cohabited but we must know how to choose the best time to do it. Think it over and choose the best for our lives.
Finally, I (Mr.Trang) must say that: all we know the advantages and disadvantages about "cohabitation". We don't give you any advice, it depends on you. Decide your life and try your best. We'd like to wish all of you will be happy with your choice. Thank for listening. Have a good night.

FRIDAY, March 17, 2017 (HealthDay News) -- Doctors who limit the supply of opioids they prescribe to three days or less may help patients reduce their risk of dependence and addiction, according to research published in the March 17 issue of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.
Researchers looked at a sample of patients drawn from data from health insurers and managed care plans. Specifically, they looked at opioid use among patients not being treated for cancer. Among patients without cancer, a single day's supply of an opioid can result in 6.0 percent of patients being on an opioid a year later, the researchers said.
The odds of long-term opioid use increased most sharply in the first days of therapy, particularly after five days of taking the drugs. The rate of long-term opioid use increased to 13.5 percent for patients who first took the drugs for eight days or more. The highest probability of continued opioid use at one and three years was seen among patients who started on a long-acting opioid, followed by patients who started on tramadol.
"Awareness among prescribers, pharmacists, and persons managing pharmacy benefits that authorization of a second opioid prescription doubles the risk for opioid use one year later might deter overprescribing of opioids. Knowledge that the risks for chronic opioid use increase with each additional day supplied might help clinicians evaluate their initial opioid prescribing decisions and potentially reduce the risk for long-term opioid use," the authors write. "Discussions with patients about the long-term use of opioids to manage pain should occur early in the opioid prescribing process."

If Cheney thinks Obama's credibility is nonexistent, what does that say for Mr. CIA agent-leaker, WMD liar, drinkin'-beer-and-shootin'-his-buddy in the face?
Bush and Cheney set the bar for politicians' credibility so low, that it is virtually impossible to go much lower, and all of the lies put forth by the GOP about the current President haven't done much but prove that the GOP is simply incapable of leading our great nation. They are simply incompetent liars and frauds.
Cheney's has no credibility whatsoever. No one believes a word out of his lying mouth
This man is the most pathetic human I have ever seen. He is disgusting and has the blood of 1000's of dead Americans on his hands.
lost credibility ?
Part of the problem is the administration's credibility – because of Benghazi and the IRS scandal – is less effective. Nonexistent, if you will, when you get over to the NSA program.
Dick Cheney
Dick Cheney Outs Valerie Plame.
Dick Cheney, CEO of Halliburton (later, Vice President) ...There is no doubt that the regime of Saddam Hussein possesses weapons of mass destruction.
Draft Dodging Dick Cheney's 5 Draft Deferments During Vietnam War ... Bush Administration Officials have a similar excuse for avoiding their military service.
The Dick Cheney hunting incident occurred on February 11, 2006, when then ... President Dick Cheney shot Harry Whittington, a 78-year-old Texas attorney,
The none credible talking credibility ?
Look whose taking about credibility, wmds? Valary plume? 9-11-2001??
I disagree with him. He's wrong.
If someone did a poll of US voters ranking the credibility of Obama and Cheney I think that Dick Cheney would lose by a huge margin. How do you know when Dick Cheney is lying? His lips are moving.
Pretty funny statement coming from a war criminal who lied to the American people about WMDs in Iraq.
If this wasn't so pathetic it would be funny. Dick Cheney talking about President Obama's credibility – the king of hypocrisy talking about anyone is beyond the pale.
Cheney is the LAST person to question anyone's credibility since he has zero.
It's great that the surveillance program started under HIM, BUT it's Obama fault because of the IRS? And how many people died in consulate/embassy attacks under Bush...or better yet, how many called for an investigation of Hallibutor expenditures during the Iraq war, and how much of that went into Cheney's own pocket?
War Criminal
Really Cheney? I love how the GOP grasp at what they agree with and completely ignore every thing else. Go away. You were the worst Vice President ever! You can hardly be taken seriously when you complain about President Obama.
What a horrible man.
The US government was warned about the 911 attacks and did nothing. Cheney is trying to make the American people believe that government spying is a good thing.
Coming from Darth Cheney this is a compliment ....... Keep trying to make "Scandals" of Spinghazi and IRS – Irrational Republican Spin.
Dick Cheney is criticizing the President? That's a surprise. *cough*
"I think it's one of the worst occasions in my memory of somebody with access to classified information doing enormous damage to the national security interests of the U.S.," he said.
You mean aside from Scooter Libby?
Darth Cheney will be gone soon and the world will be a better place without him in it
Great Posts....The American people have not forgotten. Cheney is a war criminal and should be in jail with the rest of his Administration. America do not forget and vote in 2014!!
The costs of the Iraqi war were not included in the deficit spending. Where are the costs of this NSA crap? Is that in the same category? The system is broken and it started with Bush43 and Cheney who lied through their 8 years in office. The man should do the country a favor and keep his mouth shut.
Aw , Gee,
Sometimes you have to do something even if it's wrong. The problem with Obama is he does nothing but vote present. If you call that crediable so be it. If you don't do anything, you don't do anything wrong, get it?
Why on earth is this War Profiteer's opinion newsworthy? This man should be in jail and instead he walks free.
Pls fade away faster.
Why is this water boarder in the news. He even can't visit Europe without fear of being arrested.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Feb. 15, 2017
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Feb. 15, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Healthcare Trust of America, Inc. (NYSE:HTA), the largest dedicated owner and operator of medical office buildings in the United States, announced today that its board of directors has declared a cash dividend for the first quarter ending March 31, 2017. This represents an annualized rate of $1.20 per common share and an annualized yield of 4.0% based on HTA's closing share price as of February 14, 2017. The dividend will be paid on April 11, 2017 to stockholders of record on April 3, 2017.
Additionally, the eligible holders of HTA's operating partnership units ("OP Units") will receive a quarterly distribution of $0.30 per OP Unit, which is on par with HTA's common stock dividend described above.
The amount of common stock dividends HTA pays to its stockholders is determined by HTA's board of directors, at its discretion, and is dependent on a number of factors, including funds available for the payment of distributions, HTA's financial condition, capital expenditure requirements and annual distribution requirements needed to maintain HTA's status as a real estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code. HTA's board of directors may reduce its dividend rate and HTA cannot guarantee the amount of dividends paid in the future, if any.
About HTA
Healthcare Trust of America, Inc. (NYSE: HTA) is the largest dedicated owner and operator of medical office buildings ("MOBs") in the United States, based on gross leasable area ("GLA").

Over the last decade, we have invested over $4 billion primarily in MOBs and other healthcare assets comprising almost 18 million square feet of GLA. Our investments are targeted in 20 to 25 key markets that we believe have superior healthcare demographics that support strong, long-term demand for medical office space. We have achieved, and continue to achieve, critical mass within these key markets by expanding our presence through accretive acquisitions, and utilizing our in-house operating expertise through our regionally located property management and leasing platform.
Founded in 2006 and listed on the New York Stock Exchange in 2012, HTA has produced attractive returns for its stockholders that we believe have significantly outperformed the S&P 500 and US REIT indices. More information about HTA can be found on the Company's website at www.htareit.com.

overweight, out of shape &smoke
Hey guys... new user here.. though I'd drop my two cents in and hopefully get a few answers that have probably already been answered a million times, but I couldn't find a specific enough thread to answer my ques/prob.
First off, excellent site... has had me reading nonstop for a week (good time passer @ work) the information is top notch, and the help passed along from user to user is excellent... enuf praise...now the questions
I am 25 yrs old, 5'10, 220 lbs, and out of shape (fat)... I do not workout, or train, no cardio, and I smoke (can it get any worse...) I wear a size 40 pants, and have been self concious about my body for as long as I can remember... I'm not looking for any magic answers, but I have decided to take the first steps in changing my body. I am starting to ride my bike as much as possible, and attempting to quit smoking... I would like to start lifting/training in the next little while, and wondering this: I would like to go on a cycle of something (undecided yet) but should I wait until I can get myself in better physical shape? Or is it as beneficial (or more/less) to begin a cycle when I first start working out?
Any input is muchly appreciated as I have not been able to nail down a definate answer - I'm sure someone must have been in the same boat as myself one time or another...
Anywho, thanks in advance for any input, and I hope to be an active member that will (hopefully) be able to answer some other people's questions in 6 months from now...
Thanks again,
Hey bro,
AAS are really for breaking through that barrier that you reach after training for a long period of time. As Peter North stated, you will hear that you need to put in some good time in the gym before anyone will reccomend any kind of cycle. You should defenetly look into some of the supplements you can get at GNC... look for some hydroxycut or some Animal Cuts (i loved) and combine them with a steady workout routine including like 4 days a week lifting and 3-4 days a week cardio, and also a steady diet. You would be surprised at what you can do with all that combined... Good luck bro

thanks for the advice
Much appreciated on the responses guys... am scouring the net to develop some sort of a workout plan and diet to stick to, and like suggested, will cardio 3-4 days (if not more a week)... Expect many more questions from me along the way, and hopefully, in a few months, may be ready for the next big step...
Once again, I really thank you for your honest opinions.
Jonny Blaze

bro you hadbetter train for years before even thinking about it
your fucking tendons and joints are gonna have to get use to training alone.don't even consider the next step for a long timemy friend unless you want a series of injuries, then a layoff period, and finally you will probably rebound and go back to being heavy and sendentary.
educate yourself on training and diet here.those are the only two forums you need to be in for a long time.you'll thank yourself for it later.
yeah bro wait for the juice, your first few years working out is like being on the shit, you gain strenght, and loose flab without any cardio.
you will eventualy ( depending on what your goals are) want to give steroids a shot. BY then u should a have diet,routine and lifestyle in order. your body will benefit much more this way instead of jumping right into it.
keep the weights heavy and eat as mucha as u can!
good luck

You have to be specific in what you say to people because advice as general as "eat as much as you can" does nothing but float misinformation amongst the ranks. The mans goal is to get in shape, and lose weight. First off, Cardio is a must!! I think what BigWilly was trying to say is that if you were bulking then you would want to eat as many healthy calories as possible, but in your case you would want to keep the diet down. My suggestion would be to hang around the diet, and workout forums before reading too much of the steroid forum. In the steroid forum you are not going to get the knowledge that you need at the moment to achieve your goals. Keep an open mind about it all because will get alot of information from alot of people. Good luck and keep us updated on your progress. If you feel comfortable you might want to post 'before' pictures to help get feedback on problematic areas. Its hard to see progress when you see your body everyday.
First off, welcome to the board!!!!! You will gain sooo much knowledge from the bro's on here!!!! Everyone is correct. Jumping into a cycle without the proper diet, weight training regime, will be a waste of time and money. Dedicate yourself, hit the gym 3 or 4 times a week, get a good diet plan in order and in no time you will see dramatic results. Go to the fitness forums, there is a TON of info in there for you!
I wish you success!!!!
Bro.. the Diet Section is great.. Its All about Changing your lifestyle though...its not just getting on a diet its changing the way you eat completly and sticking to it.. Cardio is a must... Eating properly and excersie is the key to loosing good wieght bro..
stick to it and you'll get what you want. I've seen guys transform themselves in a matter of Months by changing their lifestyle a bit and excersising on a regular basis. If You really want this to happen then make it happen bro.
Good luck with it..My support is with you.
Sure bro!
A friend got the same problem, and I started him into swimming. I think swimming is a must for cardio, as soon as you have to deep breathe, and you do anaerobic movements too. He lost a lot of fat, and made up a good body, only in 3 months...
He got control over the food, and I suggested to reduce from 5 intakes of great quantity of fat a week to only one.
The secret is quality and results. If you have no results, you´ll have no stimulation to continue... You can have real results if you swin from 30 to 60 minutes every 2 days, if you change a little bit of your food intake... maybe in 2 weeks you will see changes...
Keep your measurements recorded, as you won´t notice them. Meet people in a more spaced time, once a week, and you´ll hear from them about results....
Those are very meaningful ways to get motivation : when you hear from people....
Anything just pm me, and I can help you with all you need...
Oh yeah, and don´t use any steroids or supplements for the start. See how your body works, and if needed, use some fat burner like Animal Cuts or Xenadrine (if you have no heart related problems).
Bye, and good luck!Last edited by taquipariu; 04-22-2003 at 11:28 AM.
cardio and diet equals results
plain and simple.
I have found out that if you buy a good heart monitor or use a machine with one built in, hit good cardio 30 mins a day five days a week really will dump the fat off you.
Nothing at all will replace a solid diet, i am a believer in some carbs, just the smarter ones. Lean mostly on chicken and tuna which will get old but its out staples.
Make sure that your water intake is on track. You really need to drink alot of water, which will decrease hunger some, and just plain help you lose fat.
take this twice a day
vitamin c 500mgs
vitamin E 200 IU's
I took this in the beginning, and still its included in my supps each day.
Its just for plain good health.
Take an ECA x 3 daily, if your doctor or your health is good enough to take them. Dont push it with "speed". take one and ust raise your temp a bit.
SOme get in trouble with ECA's so i mention it these days. not trying to talk down to anyone.
PM me if i can help you with anything, i have a few workout splits that i can share with you.
Juice is a major decision, I personally started using fina WAY before i needed to.
It was my decision and i researched everything completely before i began.
Stick around and read a bit, we are here to help you, this board RULES!
Everytime i need to know something, the Brothers and SIsters of AR.com always come to my rescue.
hope something helps

Vortex Point 8
The gang needs to perform an exorcism in an abandoned lighthouse. Care to join?
4.11 / 5.00 5,860 ViewsThe Viking Campaign begins....
The Romans have conquered all of the nothern Viking tribes.
There remain only a few stragglers who plan to join forces together with those who have managed to escape, and put up a fight...
After deciding they won t be conquered, they begin their battle!
I don't know if it was supposed to be like this, but for some reason the enemy unit have something like a 2 seconds invencibility and take no damage, then after it kills my first unit, it starts to take damage.
Its annoying and frustrating that I need to kill a unit before I can damage the enemy....
was fun until I got to level 9... then some invisible enemy just killed all my miners/rangers constantly as they spawned.
Fun game, but some things to fix: Either use a clearer font or don't shadow the letters... they're a little difficult to read. Make it easier to select spell targets. You may also want to increase the game screen size.
Very nice gam, did enjoy it as far as I came. I did try all the easy levels, got 2 stars ech and came to the last level. There was a viking with the text : congratulations, you manage to beat them, ther's only one left...etc
That didn't disappear, whatever I tried. next arrow, choose other level etc.. The episode starts, but the text is covering the things you need...
Would love to play it again when the bugs are gone..
ok, the idea is good, and it is fun, but there are a couple of things that spoils it.
-If you clic a vicking, make it stop, then clic outside the game, the game will pause. If you clic back on the game, the vicking will start attacking. So when you have 12 vicking stop, they all attack again.
-The tower at the end does not get any damage. It's invincible...
-When sending a warrior vicking against the arrow ennemy, the arrow guy did no damage to my vicking, except when he was on the ennemy. Then my vicking just died and the arrow guy had half his energy bar.
-When upgrading, the text is so small that it is hard to read.
I wont go further since it's getting boring with all those bugs.
Have fun!
We are working on these bugs
surely will see in a few days!

Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Good, easy read. Moves at a fast pace w/ the ending somewhat predictable, yet still very, very good. This is the American Psycho of the fifties. Based on that comparison, I really enjoyed this super creepy book and its terrifying narrator. Thompson knew what he was doing and I will definitely be checking out his other novels now! Well, the title says it all! The man character is the killer in question, and he narrates the tale. Creepy, violent, and premeditated! Chapter 18 is exceptionally well written! It is muddled and cloudy, showing the killer's mind and the frenzied state he lives in. Whew! My favorite Jim Thompson book to date! Not just the usual noir; the cynicism and violence are dialed up a notch, and, as a result, not the sort of book I normally read. However, I was impressed by the writing and the realism of the protagonist Lou Ford, who describes himself as a paranoid schizophrenic but is actually closer to a violent psychopath. Lou reminded me a great deal of Dexter (I've only seen the series, not read the books), in that both hide behind authority, nice guy personas, and cliches, while having little understanding of normal humans or social interaction. While Dexter is portrayed as a sort of kinder, gentler nutball, though, Lou is presented as a deeply diseased man and is much more believable and thus much more disturbing--probably everyone has met a Lou Ford or two without (hopefully) knowing it. Started December 01st, 2012. Reading the foreword by S. King and having read Chandler, Woolrich, etc. and The Grifters by the same author, this will be a great classic. The only question is, will I spoil it by watching the film before finishing it? I do not expect to be the film nearly as good as the book, and try not to read to many comments on a film before seeing it. Finished the book yesterday short of midnight today. Great, but not perfect. But fits in the Noir-Series, raw power, hard men, hard women and an ending I find other books lacking too often. Trying to see the (newer) film in the next days so I can compare it with the book fresh in memory. no reviews | add a review

Almost 2 years ago I had surgery (compartment syndrome) in my left calf. The surgery corrected the muscle issues, but has left my lower leg quite swollen. I am in the process of trying to find a ski boot to fit my leg, and I started skiing this winter... I LOVE IT! I'm totally hooked and don't want to stop!
Any suggestions? I dread having to have custom boots, but would consider in the future.
Any ideas are welcome!

It wasn't a flashy quarter, but Caesars Entertainment
A writedown of an abandoned project in Mississippi pushed the company's net loss to $280.6 million, or $2.24 per share. Without the $172.0 million charge, the loss would have been smaller than last year, but a loss nonetheless.
Las Vegas leads the way
Similar to the trend we saw from Las Vegas Sands'
Atlantic City, Louisiana/Mississippi, and Iowa/Missouri regions also saw improvement in EBITDA in the quarter. But Illinois/Indiana and other Nevada regions were a drag on EBITDA overall, so it isn't all peaches and cream out there.
Debt still looms
Caesars' debt has at least stabilized, although it grew slightly during the quarter to $19.9 billion. If Caesars is going to need to grow out of this debt, it is going to need to continue growth even if it is at a slow rate. Las Vegas appears to be on solid footing based on Las Vegas Sands, Caesars, and Wynn Resorts'
The biggest problem from an investment standpoint is that competitors are quickly lowering their net debt and are actually growing faster than Caesars. Wynn Resorts even announced yesterday that it received formal approval for its Cotai resort, a further push of the company into Macau.

This post has been updated.
Law enforcement authorities are investigating multiple threats made against Rep. Todd Akin (R-Mo.), his family and staff in the days since his controversial comments about abortion and rape, a spokesman said late Thursday.
"Over the last couple of days, there's been threats of rape of staff, the congressman's family, and suggestions that people die," Akin spokesman Steve Taylor said late Thursday. He confirmed that the U.S. Capitol Police and FBI are investigating "which threats are accurate or how to contextualize them."
In an e-mail, Lt. Kimberly Schneider, a Capitol Police spokeswoman said "This is an active, open investigation." She added later that "we don't discuss the security of Members of Congress."

Compiling Communicating Processes into Delay-Insensitive VLSI Circuits Alain J. Martin Department of Computer Science California Institute of Technology
Communicating Hardware Processes Inspired by: Hoare's communicating sequential processes (CSP). Dijkstra's guarded commands. Based on: Concurrent processes communicating by messagepassing.
Communicating Hardware Processes Data Types Only basic type is the boolean. Other types are collections of booleans represented using PASCAL record notation. Example: alu = record op : alu.15..alu.12 x : alu.11..alu.8 y : alu.7..alu.4 z : alu.3..alu.0 end 8-bit integer x : x.0, x.1,..., x.7.
Communicating Hardware Processes Assignment: For a boolean b: The command b:=true assigns the value true to b (also denoted b+ or ). The command b:=false assigns the value false to b (also denoted b- or ). Given two integers x and y of the same length n: y := x ==> y.0, y.1,..., y.(n-1) := x.0, x.1,..., x.(n-1). b b
Communicating Hardware Processes Arrays: Arrays are used when the identity of the element in a set of variables that is to be used for some action is determined during the computation. Example: reg[i.z] := aluf (reg[i.x], reg[i.y], i.op) Note: instruction i is of of type alu
Communicating Hardware Processes Composition Operators There are three composition operators: The sequential operator: ;. The concurrent, or parallel, operator: ||. The coincident, or bullet, operator:..
Communicating Hardware Processes Sequential Operator S 1;S 2 means first execute S 1 then execute S 2. The ``;'' operator is associative: (S 1 ; S 2 ); S 3 = S 1 ; (S 2 ; S 3 ) The ``;'' operator is NOT commutative: S 1 ; S 2 <> S 2 ; S 1
Communicating Hardware Processes Parallel Operator S 1 || S 2 means S 1 and S 2 are executed in parallel. The || operator is associative and commutative: (S 1 || S 2 ) || S 3 = S 1 || (S 2 || S 3 ) S 1 || S 2 = S 2 || S 1
Communicating Hardware Processes Bullet Operator S1. S2 means S1 and S2 complete simultaneously. The. operator is associative and commutative: (S 1. S 2 ). S 3 = S 1. (S 2. S 3 ) S 1. S 2 = S 2. S 1
Communicating Hardware Processes Other Properties If S 1 and S 2 are noninterfering, S 1 || S 2 is equivalent to the execution of either S 1 ; S 2 or S 2 ; S 1 or S 1. S 2. The operator precedence is: (1). (2) ; (3) ||: S 0. S 1 ; S 2 || S 3 ===> ((S 0. S 1 ); S 2 ) || S 3
Communicating Hardware Processes Control Structures Selection Repetition Deterministic and nondeterministic versions
Communicating Hardware Processes Deterministic selection: [G 1 ==> S 1 []... [] G n ==> S n ] G 1,..., G n are boolean expressions called guards. S 1,..., S n are parts of a program, or commands. G i ==> S i :a guarded command if G i evaluates to true then S i is executed. At any time, at most one guard is true. If no guard is true, the execution is suspended. Exact one guarded command will be executed
Communicating Hardware Processes Nondeterministic selection: [G 1 ==> S 1 |... | G n ==> S n ] Identical to deterministic selection except that multiple guards can be true at the same time. If multiple guards are true, one is selected arbitrarily. Exact one guarded command will be executed
Communicating Hardware Processes Deterministic repetition: *[G 1 ==> S 1 []... [] G n ==> S n ] G 1,..., G n are boolean expressions. S 1,..., S n are parts of a program. G i ==> S i :a guarded command if G i evaluates to true then S i is executed. After S i completes, control returns to the start. At any time, at most one guard is true. If no guard is true, the repetition terminates. Zero, one or more guarded commands can be executed
Communicating Hardware Processes Nondeterministic repetition: *[G 1 ==> S 1 |... | G n ==> S n ] Identical to deterministic repetition except that multiple guards can be true at the same time. If multiple guards are true, one is selected arbitrarily.
Communicating Hardware Processes Wait command: [G]= [G ==> skip] Infinite repetition: *[S] = *[true ==> S] Reactive Process Structure *[[G 1 ==> S 1 []... [] G n ==> S n ]] Wait until some G i holds; execute S i ; repeat forever.
Communicating Hardware Processes Replication Construct Used to represent a list of syntactic objects. = S(n), if n = m S(n) op ( ), if n < m op is any constructor (;,.,||) or separator ([],|,``,'',`` ''), i is an integer variable, called the running index, the range, defined by n..m, where n and m are integer constants, is not empty, i.e., n <= m, S(i) is any program part in which i appears free.
Communicating Hardware Processes Replication Construct Example: [ S(i)>] = [ G(0) ==> S(0) [] G(1) ==> S(1) [] G(2) ==> S(2) [] G(3) ==> S(3) ]
Communicating Hardware Processes Procedures Procedure parameters are either input or output. Example: procedure p(x : input; y : output); S The procedure call p(a, b) is equivalent to: x := a; S; b := y
Communicating Hardware Processes Functions Function parameters are always inputs. Example: function y(x); S where S is the same program part as in procedure p.
Communicating Hardware Processes Concurrent Processes Main building block of a computation is a process. Body of a concurrent computation is of the form: p1 || p2 ||... || pn where p1 through pn are processes. Several instances of the same process type can be called by assigning different names. Unlike procedures, each instance of a process can be called only once.
Communicating Hardware Processes Communication Commands,Ports, & Channels Processes communicate by using communication commands on ports. Ports are declared in the heading of a process: p = process(R, L) A port of a process is paired with a port of another process to form a channel. p1 =process(X)... end p2 =process(Y)... end p1 || p2 chan(p1.X, p2.Y)
Communicating Hardware Processes Example: p1 =process(X)... end p2 =process(Y)... end p1 || p2 chan(p1.X, p2.Y) Equivalent to: p1 =process(C)... end p2 =process(C)... end p1 || p2 chan(C) p1p2 X Y p1p2 C
Communicating Hardware Processes Semantics of Synchronization Number of completed receive actions cR cannot exceed the number of completed send actions cS: cR <= cS Without buffering, if two processes p1 and p2 share a channel with port X in p1 and port Y in p2, then cX = cY
Communicating Hardware Processes Probe If p1 reaches the n th X-action before p2 reaches the n th Y-action, the completion of X is suspended until p2 reaches Y. The X-action is said to be pending. The predicate ``X is pending'' is denoted qX. The probe X in process p1 is the same value as qY.
Communicating Hardware Processes Communication Matching communication actions ``pass messages''. X? is an input command on the input port X. Y! is an output command on the output port Y. X?u and Y!v implement the assignment v := u.
Communicating Hardware Processes Stream Merge: MERGE = process(X?int(8), Y?int(8), Z!int(8)) u : int(8) *[ [ X ==>X?u; Z!u | Y ==>Y?u; Z!u ] ]end Merge XYXY Z
Communicating Hardware Processes One-place Buffer: BUF1=process(L?int(8), R!int(8)) x : int(8) *[L?x; R!x] end Buf L R
Communicating Hardware Processes N-place Buffer BUF(n) =process(L?int(8), R!int(8)) p(i : 0..n-1) : BUF1 chan p(0).L = BUF(n).L p(n-1).R = BUF(n).R end P(0) Buf(n).L p(0).L P(0).R P(1).L P(1) P(1).R p(2).L P(n-1) P(n-1).R Buf(n).R
Communicating Hardware Processes Lazy Stack Stack element: Empty=[ in ==> in?x;Full [] out ==> get?x;out!x;Empty ] Full =[ out ==> out!x;Empty [] in ==> put!x;in?x;Full ] head Tail in out putget in out
