Can I blame this on Dog The Bounty Hunter?
Has anyone else noticed the propensity for crappy reality shows. First there was Dog the Bounty Hunter, then came Billy the goth Exterminator, now there is Operation Repo show. Is anybody else thinking that these people are the trash de la trash of reality TV? I mean does that lady really have to wear that hula hoop sized lip ring and see a through mumu? And what is wrong with them that they are keeping Capt. Roid Rage employed? Every time they show him, he’s shoving someone around or totaling a car.
Ouch! I feel suitably smacked down.


Well I guess this proves that someone is watching…Miss F

They know their demographic. Do you meet it?……The Prof

Brothers at War
Brothers at War (2009)

IMDB rating: 6.50

Plot: BROTHERS AT WAR is an intimate portrait of an American family during a turbulent time. Jake Rademacher sets out to understand the experience, sacrifice, and motivation of his two brothers serving in Iraq. The film follows Jake’s exploits as he risks everything-including his life-to tell his brothers’ story. Often humorous, but sometimes downright lethal, BROTHERS AT WAR is a remarkable journey where Jake embeds with four combat units in Iraq. Unprecedented access to US and Iraqi combat units take him behind the camouflage curtain with secret reconnaissance troops on the Syrian border, into sniper “hide sites” in the Sunni Triangle, through raging machine gun battles with the Iraqi Army. Ultimately, the film follows his brothers home where separations and life-threatening work ripple through their parents, siblings, wives, and children. BROTHERS AT WAR is a rare look at the bonds and service of our soldiers on the front lines and the profound effects their service has on the loved ones they leave behind.

What's easier to learn: Warhammer or Warhammer 40000?
Me and my brother have been looking into table top war-gaming, and would like to start playing ourselves. We’ve narrowed it down to either Warhammer, or Warhammer 40000, because we like the settings and find the armies to be interesting. We already picked which armies we would rather use from each, and now we just need to decide which to play. Since we’re new to this, we wanted to know which one of the two is easier to learn the rules of.


I found 40k easier to learn. Even though people tell me Warhammer is easier to learn.

But, they are both similar in rules.

Sick African dwarf frog?
I just bought my second african dwarf frog today. When i got him home , he was not doing much. About an hour later he was floating around the top of the tank. Seeing how my first one does this once in a while… but then i seen he started getting bloated , and now has a white spot on his back. I removed him from the main tank into quarantine, and am trying to see if i can get him going. he is non responsive to food, but still kicks around when i bump him with a net.. He is definitely still alive but i dont want him to infect my tank

Any suggestions? Dropsy? Bacterial infection? Injury?

If he dies tonight , does anyone think i can take him back to the pet store and get a new one?

Anything i can do to try to get him back going?

Why don't muscles detach from bones when we lift heavy loads?


The framework of the muscle is a continuation of the very tough connective tissue sheath that surrounds the bone (periosteum). So the tendon that holds the muscle to the bone is almost part of the bone itself.
Asst Prof | Nov 16, 2009


Muscles are attached very strongly to bones connective tissues called tendons (chord-like or rope-like) and aponeuroses (sheet-like).
bulletslace | Nov 16, 2009


Feedback from pain fibers, especially those associated with stretch receptors in the tendons, inhibits over-application of force.
