Nutrition Tracking: The Hows & Whys
If you’re getting started (or even a veteran) in your body-changing pursuit for a new wardrobe and better quality of life, you can give yourself up to a 30% better chance of INCREDIBLE results by tracking your nutrition. As far as I’m concerned, nutrition tracking is a MUST to know what’s going into your body for a real, eye-popping transformation and you’re selling yourself short if you don’t. 80% of your success is based on nutrition.
That said, here’s the WARNING: You can sweat, pant and work yourself to the point you’re hobbling like you belong in an Old Folks Home but but if you eat with the same ol’ junk pattern you always have, your mirror results will be MEAGER at best. So many people stumble at this point because there’s nothing like working hard and not seeing results… but remember: The battle for the body transformation you want exists on two fronts. Nutrition AND workouts. A hard workout doesn’t mean you can eat whatever you want, it means you need to EAT RIGHT TO GET WHAT YOU WANT.
What’s Your Goal?
OK, so you’re in it to win it. AWESOME. Before you start chowing down, know your ultimate goal. It’s most likely the feeling of “I want to look like that” when you purchased your P90X (or 10 Minute Trainer/Insanity/Asylum/P90X2) program. How do you want your body to change? Do you want to torch your body fat? Get toned? Pack on some muscle mass? Do both at the same time? Once you have your goal, read this:
Get to know the Body-Changing Blueprint daily calorie levels based on the body goals you’re after. Once you dial your calorie requirements in, the rest falls into place as you cement your plan and get after it. Now we get to the tracking portion to make sure you hit the nutritional goals you’ve laid out on a daily basis. After all, it’s the accumulation of daily effort that leads to the mind-blowing changes you’ll begin seeing over the next 90-ish days.
Why Tracking Your Nutrition Is Important
It goes like this: as I mentioned earlier, those who track their nutrition are significantly more likely to nail their goals and stay on track. No endeavor is worth anything without accountability and tracking your nutrition gives you accountability. You know exactly where you go off track and can correct and adjust. Without it, you’re just swinging in the dark. In my case, I tracked my nutrition for a full year because I didn’t want possibility of failure or setback.
All too often when I speak with people frustrated about their progress, we quickly get to the nutrition arena. People insist they’re “eating clean” but when I plug their numbers into a tracking system (more on that here in a sec) they’re almost always off. Too many carbs, not enough calories, too many calories, low protein, too much fat… the list goes on. Tracking fixes this 10 times out of 10. You SEE every meal, every portion, every day. Tracking is a recipe for incredible success.
Tracking Your Nutrition: Get Started
Tracking your nutrition sounds time consuming but it’s actually pretty simple and as you get into it, (gasp) fun! I’m going to recommend and show you how to use Livestrong.com’s The Daily Plate (My Plate) as it has an online and iphone/android app for on the go action. Daily Plate is what I use and LOVE but if you’re feeling rebellious there are other options like “Fitday”.
You’ll need to sign up for an account (they’re free) if you haven’t already. You’ll be asked to fill out your calorie goals (which you’ll have from the Body-Changing Blueprint. You’ll have the option to add fitness for the day but we want to keep it simple and NOT track calories burned through your workouts. You’ll simply choose “Enter Your Own Calorie Goal” at the exact levels determined by the Blueprint instead of the calculator Livestrong provides. I’ve done it both ways but this way takes the confusion out while allowing for tweaks as you make changes moving forward.
When you first begin, you will have to track down you will have to track down the foods you’re using in Livestrong’s vast database. If it’s in a grocery store, grows in a garden or on a menu, it’s probably in there. Pay attention– there are some items in the database that aren’t accurate so you’ll want to check against your labels. But no worries- Livestrong will soon begin to recognize the foods you’re choosing and give them top priority. For unmarked meats and fruits/vegetables, you can verify calorie information at FoodFacts.com. After that it’s eeeeeasy– you just need to make a point to DO IT.
Tracking Your Nutrition: How To
At this point, all you have to do is enter the foods you eat and assign them to a “meal”. As you can see below, I had Shakeology for breakfast with 1 tbsp. of Peanut Butter and a side of egg whites and 1 slice of crumbled, lean turkey bacon for extra protein. As you can see below, my breakfast was 365 calories with 48g protein, 24g carbs and 10g fat– very close to a Fat Shredder 50/30/20. You do the same with each meal. I sit in front of a computer all day, so this is pretty easy. If you’re on the go, just use the app or make notes and enter it all in end of day. I find it easier to do it all on the fly.
The great thing about Livestrong’s Calorie Tracker is its pie chart– this makes everything VERY easy to follow. You don’t ever need to worry about what your protein/carb/fat percentages are beyond looking at this pie chart which gives a running total of the days calorie mix. As you enter your foods in, My Plate calculates the percentage in an easy to read pie chart. Short on carbs? Take some in next meal or snack. High on carbs? Remove some from the next meal or snack. It’s that simple and AWESOME in keeping you on visual track:
As you play with your tracking, you’ll find you can plan weeks in advance so you know what you’re eating every day. You can also play with various menu items to see how it affects your overall calories for the day. In short, it’s AWESOME.
The key here is to shoot for being as close to your target calories and macronutrient percentages every day. Don’t sweat it if you’re 1-2% higher or lower. That range is A-OK. As you eat 5-6 meals a day, you’ll begin to get a feel for your intake and know what foods and portions work to keep you in your goals.
See? Not all that hard once you get into it.

Arthur walked out of the brush with a smile on his face. he was excited that he had met an indian only moments upon boarding the island and a pretty one at that. And to top it all off, she could speak the English Language, even if it was barely.
He couldn't wait to tell his crew members. Wait..
Arthur stopped in his tracks in thought. Should he tell them? if he did, they might be amazed but would surely rush in search of you and take you back to England where they might sale you off like a slave. Arthur didn't want that and if he'd any hope of seeing the indian girl again, he would need to keep quiet about his encounter.
Nodding to himself, Arthur decided to keep his mouth closed about the whole encounter.
"You Arthur! Where you been?"Came a voice. Arthur glanced up as he saw his fellow friend, Alfred, rushing over to him.
"Oh hello Alfred. I was just inspecting the island."Arthur tells him. Alfred gleamed.
"Really? Did ya see an Indian?"he asks. Arthur shook his head.
"No. I didn't."

"Oh,Aiyanna.I didn't notice you there."you say.
"Yeah,obviously."Aiayanna laughs.You help her stand and hold up your bag of corn.
"I got the corn momma wanted."you say,slinging it over your shoulder.Aiyanna looks at you with a smirk with one hand placed upon her hip."Is there something wrong Aiyanna?"you ask.
"You wanna see something cool?"she asks.You shrug your shoulders.
"Sure,as long as it's not another so called talking stone."you say.Aiyanna shakes her head.

I was thinking this afternoon (as I was chugging away on Summit) about something my mother had asked me a few weeks ago. We were discussing Summit , the conversation went something like this
Me: I started a new scarf, It’s awesome.
Mom: You started another project?
Mom: You never finish a project do you? You just keep starting them.
Now, my dear mother is a non-knitter so I do not begrudge her this. It’s simply the way I am. Right now I’m writing this and commenting on a blog. It’s just that I start a pattern and as I’m working I see something else I would love to knit. So I start it. So when someone asks “You’re working on another scarf?” I just say
“Yes. Yes I am.”
And there’s nothing wrong with that.
(ps. I spell checked this and used the word ‘something’ three times and each time I spelled it wrong. <shakes head>) | <urn:uuid:d7063315-82e2-4e17-af61-38311d6cabbe> | CC-MAIN-2014-15 | http://spinayarnknit.wordpress.com/2012/03/26/who-i-am/ | 2014-04-18T13:11:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-15/segments/1397609533689.29/warc/CC-MAIN-20140416005213-00402-ip-10-147-4-33.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.959547 | 231 | [

China's fast economic growth and social development have increased the demand for more highly skilled personnel and technological advancement in the country. The tasks of educating the leadership and generating and utilizing knowledge for her continuing development effort present major challenges to the nation's higher education institutions. Although many reform initiatives and improvements have been made within the system in the past decade, except for the [key] universities, the majority of higher education institutions in China still do not have the managerial, financial, academic and technical expertise to contribute to economic stabilization and long-term growth, nor to the development of an open and civic society. They are the main concern of the study presented in this report.
This report takes a historical and comparative approach to examine the higher education development in China at both systemic and institutional levels in the context of broad social and economic changes in its society. The investigation focuses on four areas: relationships between universities and the State, impact of changes on university management, financing higher education, and quality improvement in instructional programs. By reviewing literature and drawing evidence from field visits and experiences from other countries, the report provides a fair picture of strengths and weaknesses of Chinese higher education institutions in relation to their histories, current conditions, and potentials as well as recommendations for their future development. | <urn:uuid:c803119f-19e6-4151-9b10-470080c5c1af> | CC-MAIN-2014-15 | http://www.questia.com/read/120458969/china-higher-education-reform | 2014-04-18T14:45:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-15/segments/1397609533689.29/warc/CC-MAIN-20140416005213-00402-ip-10-147-4-33.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.955801 | 251 | [

I'm writing a compiler for a language that admits recursive nested
functions and I am stuck trying to figure out how to handle them. My
objective is to lift all nested functions to top level and pass all
their free variables explicitly as parameters. For this, I have to
figure out which variables are free. So when I'm analyzing the body
of each function, I record its free variables. But then obviously when
I come across a function call, I have to add _its_ free variables to
the list of the enclosing function. You can see how this will loop
endlesly if we allow recursive functions...
I would guess there is a standard way to handle this, so if anyone can
point me to it, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much,
[I think you'll find that the usual approach is to expand out to N levels
for a relatively small N, then give up and generate normal calls. -John]

Most off-price retailers are in a “sweet spot” right now and investors should take advantage of Ross Stores stock in particular, according to Patrick McKeever, managing director and senior analyst at MKM Partners.
Shares of Ross Stores hit an all-time high Mondayand have surged almost 50 percent in the past year. Despite the rally, McKeever said the stock has further room for growth.
“[Ross] has been a great momentum play in retail,” McKeever told CNBC. “They just reported September sales last Thursdayand saw a 5 percent increase for the month in same-store sales and also raised their third quarter earnings guidance by about 15 percent…So the momentum is intact.”
McKeever also added that the firm is an “early stage growth retailer,” adding that they just opened 12 new stores in Chicago.

Hydrostatic weighing, also called 'underwater weighing', is the best way to measure your body fat percentage, hands down. If you're serious about finding out (and tracking) your own body composition, try it!
Weight training is one of the best methods of strength training! If you want to start weight training safely and effectively, with the best info, diet, and routines, check out the 5 Day Beginner Weight Training Course!
It's way more convenient than you might think. It's very accurate. And it's vital if you're following a good plan to get ripped, like the one I've detailed in my How to Get Abs e-book.
Hydrostatic weighing is a method of determining body fat percentage where you are weighed in and out of water. This relies on some fun math having to do with measuring the density of your body in water.
Lean mass (bone, muscle, connective tissue, and organs) is more dense than water, while fat is less dense. Thus, when you are weighed in waterand the volume of your body is measured in the water, we can get a really accurate measurement of your body fat percentage.
Body Fat % = ( 457 / Body Density) - 414.2
Body Fat % = ( 495 / Body Density) - 450
Hydrostatic weighing is the most accurate method of body fat measurement around. The only two issues that will contribute to measurement error are...
According to the American College of Sports Medicine, hydrostatic weighing has only about a 2 - 3% margin of error. This is much lower than the error rates for any of the other ways of measuring body fat!
Underwater weighing has the unfortunate reputation of being a royal pain in the behind. The water, scientists in lab coats, and actually finding a place seems hard to do.
But it's actually pretty damn easy!
I found out about the company http://www.BodyFatTest.com from my local gym. They are a company with big trucks filled with all the necessary equipment, which drive around the U.S. helping people do body fat tests.
It's super easy and convenient. Here's what it was like for me to get my body fat tested in early April of 2011. This was a follow up to my initial test in February of 2011, and in the intervening month and a half I was able to drop about 9 pounds of body fat!
First, I went to their website and found that the truck would be coming to downtown Seattle on April 6th, and parking near a fitness club in the morning. So that morning I got up early, caught a ferry over to Seattle and got tested.
The whole setup is in a big truck. It holds the water tank and other equipment. Here's what the truck looks like...
Once you go inside, you get greeted by the person in charge of the truck. You can see Brian Lee in the photo below; he's super cool and friendly, and drives the Body Fat Test truck in the Seattle area.
Brian's sitting at his workstation in the photo below, next to the water tank.
The water tank itself is pretty shallow - maybe a foot and a half deep, with handles so you can easily let yourself down into it. Take a look...
In the other end of the truck are two small changing rooms. You change into your swimsuit, get weighed out of water, and then get into the water.
The water has chlorine in it and is very warm. Just a little colder than a hot-tub.
When you're in the water, you'll have to completely submerge for a bit (around 5-7 seconds) while breathing out as much as possible. Once you've breathed out as much as possible, Brian will knock on the side of the tank to signal that you're done, and you can come up for air.
You can come up for air at any time, of course, but the more air you can blow out the more accurate the measurement will be. This will give the most accurate fat to lean mass percentage ratio of your body. Any extra air in your body will make you weigh less, and thus throw off the measurements.
Here's someone else getting 'tanked'...
Normally you do this 2 - 3 times, to make sure you have an accurate measurement. Then you get out of the water, dry off, and get your readings.
Take a look at my readings…
You get your weight, lean body mass, fat mass, body fat percentage, and tons of other info in a little handy-dandy packet to take with you. It's really helpful for tracking your progress and comparing your data to that of other people of the same sex/age group/demographic/etc.
Underwater weighing is the best way to measure body fat. My own experience with skin fold calipers and bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA, running an electric current through your body) has been bad.
With calipers it isn't always clear (especially for people who aren't familiar with using them) how much skin to pinch and how to get accurate readings. And if you're off by a few mm, well, let’s just say the margin for error is pretty large.
And BIA is pretty bad. This will depend on the quality of the scale or device, but I've been given readings of 4% body fat when I know from hydrostatic that it's around 14%, and higher readings at other times.
BIA reads water in your body as muscle - because muscle is mostly water, and all the water in your body has about the same conductivity. Thus, drinking a lot of water (or being really dehydrated) can skew the results dramatically.
Your hydration isn't an issue with hydrostatic weighing, since any extra water in your body counts as regular water (just like the water in the tank surrounding you). The water simply doesn't count.
Hydrostatic weighing is consistent and the most accurate method around. Which is exactly what you need.
And, as an added bonus, you'll probably only weigh yourself every month or two. I like this because it relieves you of the excessive angst of trying to track your progress everyday, which can drive you crazy. Those 4 - 8 weeks are plenty of time to drop 4, 12, or even 16 pounds of fat and change your body fat percentage significantly.
It cost me $49 to get my body fat percentage tested initially. They have special rates for students and seniors.
I consider it a worthwhile investment in my health, especially considering the level of information I get. And its accuracy.
Since my second time getting tested was within 60 days, the follow-up measurement in April was only $35. A good deal. Of course, the prices might vary slightly at different locations.
If you're serious about finding out your body fat percentage, go for it. And if you're into fitness at all (as a personal trainer or gym owner), consider trying it just for fun. The experience itself was interesting for me, and I was able to learn more about my body.
If you want a complete and structured plan for getting ripped, check out my How to Get Abs e-book. It contains exact, step-by-step instructions for how to get ripped, with exercise and diet info.
But if you already like your appearance and don't seriously want to track your body fat, don't bother. You're fine as it is.

It’s 1930. Winsome McLintock is a convent girl about to marry a man she barely knows, and she will follow him to Rangoon, the then capital of Burma. Rangoon is a rich and exciting city, but it’s also full of tension – the wealthy British residents live luxurious colonial lifestyles while riots break out on the streets. It’s amongst all this that Winsome is discovering the nature of desire and the complexity of identity.
For this Kill Your Darlings podcast, we speak to Michelle Aung Thin about her debut novel, The Monsoon Bride.

Why did Shakespeare put a ghost in the play?
8 Answers | Add Yours
The appearance of a ghost is the only way that Prince Hamlet would learn that his father had been murdered. Up until the revelation by the ghost, everyone in the kingdom believes that the king has been bitten by serpent while he was napping in his garden. It is a perfect crime until the ghost reveals that "the serpent that did sting thy father's life now wears his crown." The ghost also adds an extra element of complication because the audience would understand that Hamlet can't just take the word of the ghost on face value; he must investigate the charge and have real proof before he takes his revenge because ghosts aren't always true ghosts, sometimes they are the devil in disguise and only come to cause trouble.
Ghosts and the supernatural are very useful from a dramatist's view as well. In plays, they lose their effect if over used, but we must remember that in Shakespeare's time most people were highly sensitized to the nuances of the metaphysical and how it affected their lives on a minute by minute basis. Heaven, hell, astrolgy, rewards,punishments, runes ,soothsayers and fortune tellers were part of everyday life and entertainment and many lived in terror of the after life and what it might hold for them. All playwrights had to do was to harness the already present credulous nature of the audience to create a great and magical effect.
The supernatural was of great interest to the Elizabethans, so the audience's attention is riveted after the introduction of the mysterious ghost of Hamlet's father. And, most importantly, as already mentioned, the ghost is the messenger of Claudius's heinous act, as well as being a source of conflict for Hamlet. Can he take the word of a spirit? What evidence does he have? What if the ghost is mere illusion and he commits regicide? Not only is the ghost important, he adds interest.
Ghosts were a subject of great controversy during the English Renaissance. Some people believed that ghosts were inevitably damned spirits or Satanic illusions. On the basis of these kinds of beliefs, some critics have argued that Hamlet is duped by an evil force. The supernatural, then, adds an element of mystery and ambiguity to the play. It has certainly led to many critical disagreements.
I agree that the supernatural was of great influence to the Elizabethans. For example, Shakespeare included the supernatural in Macbeth based upon the fact that King James I was very interested in this area. Also, based upon the fact that the play is a tragedy, a dark mood easily parallels that of the supernatural.
Modern audiences consider the apparition to be the "ghost of Hamlet's father," but an Elizabethan audience would not. Ghosts were spirits that could take on any shape, for any purpose; it could be angelic or satanic, and the opening scene suggests the great anxiety of the guards in not "just having seen a ghost," but in trying to comprehend what it was and what its purpose was. When Horatio addresses it, he states:
What art thou that usurp'st this time of night,
Together with that fair and warlike form
In which the majesty of buried Denmark
Did sometimes march? by heaven I charge thee, speak!
"Usurp" (from the Latin, usurpare, 'to seize for use') is the key word here -- the ghost shouldn't have disturbed the evening peace, so it has usurped "this time of night," and it has also ("Together") usurped the image of the dead king. Horatio demands it disclose its true identity and purpose. And of course, the action of the play follows the usurpation of the throne.
Asimov's Guide to Shakespeare, Gramercy Publishing, (c) 1970, pg. II-82.
From the beginning of the Shakespearian era the people believed in ghosts and from this point Shakespeare added the ghost role in his plays . Hamlet is one of them.
The ghost play an important role in Hamlet . he is the motivate behind Hamlet's actions. Hamlet was sad because of his father's death and then things became hard for him starting with his mother's marriage.
Hamlet met the ghost of his father whom told him about the reality of his death and who is the real killer . he told him how he was killed and murdered and asked him to take revenge .
The ghost made several appearances in the play. It first appeared to the watchmen, Marcellus and Bernardo, along with Horatio near the guardsmen's' post. The ghost says nothing to them and is perceived with fear.
The death of Hamlet's father is the unresolved event as well the revenge which is necessary to give his father the peace he is looking for.
In conclusion, The ghost created mystery for the audience, The murder causes characters to question the death of their former king.
the ghost made the play dark. Suspense was created to catch the audience's attention .

PRESS STATEMENT FROM ABS-CBN:
" As a prelude to National Heroes Day, Choose Philippines, the world's first ever social network where you can share and post your discoveries around the Philippines, will launch its music video "Piliin Mo ang Pilipinas" on ASAP Rocks, the Sunday variety show of ABS-CBN.
"The Choose Philippines music video will features its theme song, "Piliin Mo ang Pilipinas" as sung by artists Angeline Quinto and Vince Bueno. The song was written by Robert Labayen of "Bro Star ng Pasko" fame.
"Choose Philippines (www.choosephils.com) aims to feature the undiscovered Philippines by showcasing travel destinations, regional cuisine, local culture and the colorful fiestas and festivals.
"There is also an active community page on Facebook that has gathered more than 220,500 "likes" in less than a year and still growing rapidly every day.
"Piliin Mo ang Pilipinas" is a reminder of the many reasons to be proud of the Philippines. The music video not only captures the vibrant colors of the islands but is also a call to action for every Filipino to proudly share the beauty of the Philippines to the world.
"The website only went live last April 15 but it has already generated hundreds of photos and articles from Filipinos in various regions and from all over the world.
"After their success in ABS-CBN's 2011 Summer Station ID Jingle, Angeline Quinto and Vincent Bueno are once again reunited for the Choose Philippines theme song.
"Only 21, Angeline Quinto exemplifies the Filipino penchant for hard work and overcoming adversity. The perseverance of Star Power: The Search for the Next Pop Superstar grand winner is definitely paying off. Angeline just returned from her US Tour with Sharon Cuneta and had her solo concert at the SM Sky Dome.
"Vince Bueno is the face of a new generation of Pinoys who are born and raised overseas yet have decided to rediscover their roots in their homeland. Born in Vienna, Vince made a name for himself in Austria by being the grand champion of "Musical! Die Show!" yet he chose to continue his career here in the Philippines.
"The lyrics for "Piliin Mo..." were written by Robert Labayen, the vice president of ABS-CBN's Creative Communications Management (CCM). He is the man behind many Station IDs, the most recent being the "BidaBest sa Tag-Araw" 2011 Summer ID as well many memorable advertising campaigns."

Château Pichon Longueville Baron
Château Pichon Longueville Baron or Château Longueville au Baron de Pichon-Longueville (commonly referred to as Pichon Baron) is a winery in the Pauillac appellation of the Bordeaux region of France. Château Pichon Longueville Baron is also the name of the red wine produced by this property. The wine produced here was classified as one of fifteen Deuxièmes Crus (Second Growths) in the original Bordeaux Wine Official Classification of 1855.
Château Pichon Baron was once part of a larger estate, owned by Pierre de Rauzan, along with Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande. In 1850 the estate was divided into the two current Pichon estates. In 1987 the estate was purchased by French insurance company AXA, who immediately appointed Jean-Michel Cazes of Château Lynch-Bages as administrator. The property is currently managed by Englishman Christian Seely.
Château Pichon Baron's 73 hectares are planted with Cabernet Sauvignon (60%), Merlot (35%), Cabernet Franc (4%) and Petit Verdot (1%). The planting density is 9 000 vines per hectare using a double Guyot training and the average age of the vines is 30 years. The yield is typically less than 40 hectoliter per hectare. The vineyard is situated at the southern end of the commune of Pauillac near border with the Saint-Julien-Beychevelle appellation.
Grapes are harvested and sorted by hand, and then macerated for 20-30 days, and fermented at 28-32 °C in temperature controlled stainless steel vats of varying sizes. The wine is transferred into oak barrels for aging after finishing its malolactic fermentation. The estate also produces a second wine, Les Tourelles de Longueville.

Patton Oswalt to Host 2013 Webby Awards
The actor-comedian will emcee the 17th annual event on May 21 in New York City.
Patton Oswalt will host the 17th annual Webby Awards honoring the best of the internet.
A returnee Webbys host, "Patton can out-nerd the nerdiest of nerdy nerds, and out-funny just about anyone," said David-Michel Davies, executive director of the awards, in a statement Wednesday.
The actor, writer and standup comic's film credits include 2011's Young Adult opposite Theron, 2009's Big Fan and the voice of Ratatouille in the 2007 animated Pixar movie of the same name. On TV, he recently guest starred in Burn Notice, Two and a Half Men and Justified, and has a recurring role on the upcoming second season of HBO's Newsroom. He also stars on the Adult Swim comedy The Heart, She Holler.
Oswalt's heartfelt, hope-filled response to Monday's Boston Marathon bombings went viral on social media.
"This is beyond religion or creed or nation," he wrote on Facebook. "We would not be here if humanity were inherently evil. We'd have eaten ourselves alive long ago. So when you spot violence, or bigotry, or intolerance or fear or just garden-variety misogyny, hatred or ignorance, just look it in the eye and think, 'The good outnumber you, and we always will.'"

FARGO, William George, Expressman, born in Pompey, New York, 20 May 1818; died in Buffalo, N. Y., 3 August 1881. He worked for his living from the age of thirteen, attending school for a few winters only. He was engaged for some time in mercantile business, but in 1841 removed to Auburn and became freight agent for the Atburn and Syracuse railroad company. He left this place in 1842 to become ruessenger for Pomerov and company's express, running from Buffalo to Albany, and was made resident agent of the company in Buffalo in 1843. Mr. Fargo, in connection with Henry Wells and Daniel Dunning, organized in January 1844, the first express company running west from Buffalo, under the name of Wells and company.
At first the line reached only to Detroit, but the business was gradually extended to Chicago, Milwaukee, Cincinnati, and St. Louis. In 1845 the firm became Livingston and Fargo, and remained thus until 1850, when the American Express Company, uniting the interests of several firms, was organized. Henry Wells was president and William G. Fargo secretary of this company till its consolidation with the Merchants' union express company in 1868, when Mr. Fargo succeeded to the presidency. At the time of his death the corporation had a capital of $18,000,000, maintained 2,700 offices, and gave employment to more than 5,000 men, of whom 600 were messengers.
In 1851 he was associated with Henry Wells and others in the organization of a company that undertook the transaction of express business between New York and San Francisco by way of the isthmus, and also operated interior lines on the Pacific coast under the firm name of Wells, Fargo and company. This was continued until the completion of the transcontinental railways, when the management was transferred to western capitalists, but Mr. Fargo remained a director of the company and its vice president. Mr. Fargo was a director of various railroads, was largely interested in various Buffalo enterprises, and from 1862 till 1866 was mayor of that City.
His brother, James Dongdel Fargo, born in Pompey, New York, 5 May 1829, entered the employ of Wells and company in 1844 in Buffalo, and remained there until 1848. He was then transferred to Detroit, and a few years later to Chicago, where he became agent and manager of the American express company. In 1866 he came to New York City as the general superintendent and manager of the company's interests, which office he held until 1881, when he succeeded to the presidency of the company. Mr. Fargo is also president of the Merchants' despatch transportation company, and director of several important railroad and express corporations.
Another brother, Charles Fargo, born in Pompey, New York, 15 April 1831, entered the express business in Detroit in 1851. In 1853 he was made agent of the Toledo office of the American express company, and three years later returned to Detroit to take charge of that office. Much of the development of Michigan is credited to his energy in pushing the express into remote districts, making possible the ready transportation of produce to the markets. In 1866 he became assistant general superintendent of the company, with general management of the Chicago office, and after the death of William O. Fargo he became second vice president and general western manager.

The Bush Administration Agenda for a Quality Teacher in Every Classroom
Every child in America deserves a quality teacher. In an era of increasing standards and accountability in education, teacher quality and teacher training will be more important than ever.
President Bush knows the challenges facing todays teachers. For years, Federal programs have promised to strengthen State and local teacher quality efforts but with few results. Through the No Child Left Behind Act and in his budget proposals, President Bush proposes to address these challenges of teacher quality and teacher training in two major ways by providing: (1) assistance to States as they strive to improve teacher quality; (2) specific steps to enhance the teaching profession and work environment; and (3) new tools for teachers in specific areas of instruction.
Some key elements of the Presidents teacher quality agenda include:
(1) Improving Teacher Quality
Teachers and Principal Training and Recruitment Fund: President Bush proposes to spend a record-level $2.85 billion in grants to States to improve the quality of teachers and principals. Under the No Child Left Behind Act, these funds will be used to increase the number of highly qualified teachers and principals, and to hold school districts accountable for showing progress.
Qualified Teachers for Disadvantaged Students: Under the No Child Left Behind Act, local schools will be required to use a portion of their Federal Title I dollars to improve teacher quality. These teachers must be highly qualified, and parents will be able to receive information about the qualifications of their childrens teachers. President Bush proposes a $1 billion increase in Title I funding for FY-03.
Record Support for Innovative Teacher Recruitment: President Bush proposes record level support for programs that provide innovative ways to recruit new teachers into the teaching profession, including the Troops to Teachers program ($20 million), Transition to Teaching Program ($39.4 million), and Teach for America ($2.6 million).
(2) Enhancing the Teaching Profession and Work Environment
Teacher Protection Act: The President supports implementation of the Teacher Protection Act to ensure that teachers, principals, and other school officials are able to take reasonable steps to maintain order and discipline in the classroom without the fear of unnecessary litigation.
Teacher Tax Deduction: Teachers often pay for classroom supplies and supplemental materials out of their own pockets. To help teachers defray these costs, President Bush proposes a Teacher Tax Deduction on up to $400 of qualified education expenses. This tax deduction will provide $577 million in tax relief to teachers over the next five years.
Expanded Loan Forgiveness: Teachers who receive certain Federal education loans to pay for college and have taught in a low-income school for five consecutive years are eligible for up to $5,000 in student loan forgiveness, under current law. President Bush proposes to increase the student loan forgiveness ceiling to $17,500, which will provide, over the next five years, $112 million in relief for teachers who serve in low-income schools.
Flexibility for States and Districts: States and districts recognize that in order to attract teachers to the profession and keep good teachers in the classroom, they need to offer competitive salaries. Under the No Child Left Behind Act, States and districts are able to use a portion of the funds that they receive under certain Federal programs to meet their unique needs, including increasing teacher pay, reducing class size, and bolstering professional development and training for teachers.
(3) Tools for Teachers in Specific Areas of Instruction
Support for Early Childhood Educators: President Bushs budget for FY-03 provides record funding levels for the Early Childhood Educator Professional Development Program, which allows preschool educators and caregivers particularly in low-income areas to receive the training and professional development they need to provide a quality education for the children they serve.
Early Reading First: The Presidents Early Reading First initiative will help to prepare young children to enter kindergarten with the necessary language, cognitive, and early reading skills they need to be successful readers. The Presidents budget fully funds this initiative at $75 million, and these funds will be available to give preschool teachers the training and resources they need to provide high-quality early education for the youngest Americans.
Reading First: The Presidents new Reading First initiative is aimed at helping every student become a successful reader by the end of third grade. The Presidents budget proposes almost 12 percent increase in Reading First for FY-03 bringing overall funding to $1 billion. Up to 20 percent of these funds are available to States, and a significant portion of the funds are available to support professional development to help teachers learn research-based reading instruction techniques.
Teaching English Language Learners: The Professional Development program for language acquisition provides discretionary grants to colleges and universities that work with State education departments to improve classroom instruction for students who do not speak English as a native language or are limited English proficient. President Bush supports maintaining funding at $37.5 million to help teachers better serve these students and their communities.
Better Training for Teachers of Disabled Students: President Bush supports continued record-level funding for the State Improvement Grant program ($51.7 million) and for the Personnel Program ($90 million), which help teachers of children with disabilities to receive the training and professional development they need to better serve their students. | <urn:uuid:0bc0c19d-62bb-4071-b104-5ef4d4d84e12> | CC-MAIN-2014-15 | http://georgewbush-whitehouse.archives.gov/infocus/education/teachers/execsummary.html | 2014-04-24T05:12:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-15/segments/1398223205137.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20140423032005-00170-ip-10-147-4-33.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.949967 | 1,074 | [

The Vampire Diaries' Elena (Nina Dobrev) has decided the only way to un-compel Damon (Ian Somerhalder) from wanting to kill Jeremy (Steven McQueen) is to kill Kol (Nathaniel Buzolic). (Incidentally, he's also standing in their way of the cure.) But when the task falls on Bonnie (Kat Graham), she's left in a dangerous situation.
"This is the first scene that Bonnie and Kol have had together and it's honestly one of the most intense scenes I've had with one other person since I don't know when," Graham tells us in this week's Vampire Diaries Bite.

Texas A&M’s quarterback Johnny Manziel is the reigning Heisman winner and this season he’s shown that he wants another bronze statue to add to his collection. But Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota is giving Manziel all he can handle by putting up stellar numbers and helping his team stay undefeated.
Who deserves the Heisman at the midway point of the season? Dr. Saturday’s Nick Bromberg and Graham Watson debate.
Let’s start with something simple, who has the best case through the first half of the season?
2012: Completed 128-of-190 passes for 1,680 yards, 14 touchdowns and 3 interceptions. Rushing: 91 carries for 676 yards and 10 touchdowns.
2013: Completed 131-of-179 passes for 1,835 yards, 14 touchdowns and 5 interceptions. Rushing: 67 carries for 438 yards and 5 touchdowns
[Heisman Watch: Georgia's Aaron Murray out of the conversation]
So as you can see, Manziel's passing statistics are up, while his rushing statistics are down. The rushing numbers make sense; teams know that Manziel's best asset is his ability to scramble, so teams are willing to see if he'll beat them with his arm. And he is. His completion percentage is up significantly -- he has three more completions in 11 fewer attempts in the same sample size.
Oh, and his best game came against Alabama, much like last year. It's not his fault that his defense couldn't stop the Crimson Tide.
Mariota has no turnovers this season. In fact, let's take a look at the Oregon quarterback's numbers:
He’s completed 100-of-165 passes for 1,724 yards and 17 touchdowns and rushed 41 times for 426 yards and eight touchdowns. And he’s done all of this in fewer quarters than Manziel because his team has handled its opponents so effectively.
Mariota might be a product of his offensive system, but this young man is a solid quarterback. And while he might not be as flashy as Manziel, he has similar, if not better, passing and running ability and he actually values ball security.
How has each player handled their schedule and what lies ahead?
The best part of Mariota’s game is his versatility. He can hurt you in so many ways that it’s difficult to make a defensive gameplan against him. Granted, Oregon has only played one Top 25 team so far this season (Washington), but it dominated that game. The Ducks also traveled to Virginia early in the year and destroyed Tennessee at home.
[Watch: Top 5 worst college football mascots]
Yes, it’s hard to make a case that Mariota has played a tougher schedule than Manziel. He hasn’t. But he’s dominated the schedule he’s been given and he’ll face at least two ranked teams (and possibly three) before the season is out, not to mention the team he faces in the Pac-12 championship.
Oh yeah, Oregon is probably going to play in the Pac-12 title game. How’s about A&M?
Texas A&M has three games remaining against top 25 teams, plus a nonconference game against UTEP. The UTEP game will allow him to pad his statistics and the two toughest games remaining are the final two games on Texas A&M's schedule. That's perfect for a repeat Heisman run.
A&M finishes the season on the road at LSU and at Missouri, and barring a catastrophe or an injury, Manziel will pile up numbers against Auburn, Vanderbilt, Mississippi State and the Miners. That means all Heisman eyes will be on him for the two road games and if he makes a few signature Manziel moments in the Tiger Test, the Archie Griffin mentions will start to roll in.
How do you think each player is perceived?
That's why it's a tad dangerous for his Heisman hopes if Manziel lets the internet pick his Halloween costume and pictures start popping up all over. That instantly turns the focus back to his off-field activities. Manziel has proven that he plays well in the face of adversity, however, it just takes one thing outside the football field to fire up the questioning columns. But since he's returned from the suspension against Rice, it's been so far so good.
He’s not tweeting about parties or taking pictures with the guys from Nike drinking on Bourbon Street. He’s just going about his business as a star quarterback while maintaining the respect of his teammates.
Are there some skeletons in Mariota’s closet? Probably. I mean, he is a college student, but we knew Manziel was trouble before he even won the starting job. Remember the shirtless mugshot? Hey, I like Manziel. I like the fact that he’s not afraid to be who he is. But there are a lot of people who don’t like it, who think a Heisman winner should act a little more mature – a little more like Marcus Mariota.
Does one player get a leg up because of his conference?
Sadly, Mariota doesn’t play as many ranked teams as Manziel and that might hurt him with voters.
However, if Mariota continues to dominate the competition like he has been doing and continues to make statements against ranked teams, there’s no voter out there who could hold Mariota’s schedule against him. Solid play – as long as the competition is decent – should be the deciding factor. If Mariota continues to protect the football, make big plays and lead his team to wins, he should be hoisting the Heisman in December.
Manziel doesn't have that issue. Who's the most popular player in college football? And does Marcus Mariota have a trademark? We all know he's a great player, but when say "That's so Manziel," everyone knows what that means. Does anyone even make Mariota comparisons?
All but one of Texas A&M's games have been on an ESPN network or CBS so far and those games against LSU and Missouri will be either a 3:30 kickoff on CBS or a primetime game on an ESPN network.
Combine that exposure with the perception that the SEC is the nation's superior league (no matter how close the Pac-12 is in reality), and the number of people watching Johnny Football over the last half of the season will dwarf Mariota.
Now it’s your turn. Who’s a stronger Heisman candidate, Manziel or Mariota?

New restaurant eyes spot at Shoppes at Barnes Crossing
Tupelo has a new national chain restaurant coming soon, it appears, and it’s unlike anything we’ve seen before.
There’s not a lot of information available on the site plan, but we do know it’s Salad Creations.
It’s set to go in the former Quizno’s location in The Shoppes at Barnes Crossing – where Bed Bath & Beyond, Dollar Tree, Margarita’s and David’s Bridal are located. And if memory serves, the Southern Ice Cafe was the most recent occupant of the old Quizno’s site, having closed in 2008.
Ever heard of Salad Creation? There are about 30 of them nationwide, mostly in Florida.
The company sells salads and wraps in classic, signature and premium categories, along with paninis.You can also create your salad
And here’s a description from a franchise website:
What could be more “Fresh and Fabulous” than a healthful meal in an exciting, welcoming environment? At Salad Creations, our goal is to provide an incredible selection of foods that appeals to everyone. Along with our menu of nutritious and tasty choices, we invite guests to “create their own” meals with the assistance of enthusiastic and service-focused “salad chefs.”
We know consumers are always seeking alternatives to traditional fast food fare, so we created a menu offering salads, dressings, wraps, soups and smoothies made with only the freshest ingredients. | <urn:uuid:a1b54d08-e057-4d1a-ac60-5174487fc536> | CC-MAIN-2014-15 | http://djournal.com/news/biz-buzz-blog-updates-7/ | 2014-04-18T22:04:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-15/segments/1397609535095.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20140416005215-00410-ip-10-147-4-33.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.912046 | 425 | [

Chapter 1 : (1)
| ||Rating: Mature||Chapter Reviews: 7|
Background: Font color:
All that I have is on the floor
Everyone thinks the war has ended, but for my family it has just begun. Except this time, we aren’t fighting something visible. Grief is an unfair fighter; it knows all your weaknesses. How are we supposed to carry on? All around I see people celebrating, but not joyously, there is an aggressive edge to their voices, like they are trying to fill in the gaps left by the dead with shouts, like they are trying to scream for two people. Fred has no one to fill in his space, nobody to scream for him. The hole in our family unit is blatantly obvious. You are the reason that cavity is there.
God only knows what we are fighting for
All that I say, you always say more
You were always a marked target, a dead man walking, yet everybody still tried to save you. For once, the Slytherins were right. We should have all scarpered and left you at it, that would have been the sensible thing to do. But, of course, we Gryffindor’s lead with our hearts, not our heads, and of course, I had to be stupid enough to fall for you. But you broke my heart, shattered it into a million pieces. Ron swore he would smash your face in if you ever hurt me, but he was taken in by you too. We all were. Mom, Dad, Bill, Charlie, Fred and George. Percy was the only sensible one, but you managed to infect his mind as well. You are like a poisonous gas, you engulf everything and everyone in your path, making everything unclear and hazy, so we walk deeper into your cloud. At first, you seem fluffy, friendly, and harmless. But then the poison hits your lungs, and suddenly you can’t breathe. You took my oxygen away Harry, and I don’t know how to get it back.
I can’t keep up with your turning tables
Under your thumb, I can’t breath
You have always had the upper hand; I’ve always been at your mercy. I loved you more, still do. If you truly loved me the way I love you, you wouldn’t have done this. You wouldn’t have left. You would have stayed with me, or taken me with you. You wouldn’t have let me fend for myself. I thought you cared, I convinced myself of that in August, almost a year ago now. But now I see that whoever you care about, it certainly isn’t me. If you truly love me, you would have saved me, like you have always done before. But you didn’t save me, and now grief has consumed me.
So I won’t let you close enough to hurt me
No, I won’t ask you, you to just desert me
I have to be strong, resilient. I can’t let you back in. Once burned, shame on you, twice burned shame on me. I will never be abandoned again, and I will never put myself at the benevolence of another human being ever again. I must build up the walls around my heart, and make them tall and strong enough so you can never enter into the kingdom of my heart ever again. My kingdom is in ruins because of you, the buildings burned down, the castle destroyed. I must reconstruct them by myself; you can no longer be the pillar of my city.
I can’t give you what you think you gave me
It’s time to say goodbye to turning tables, to turning tables
You think you gave me your heart, but you didn’t. And because o f that, I can never give you mine again. My heart is fragile, some fragments are missing. One has gone with Fred, and another resides with you. I know you will come looking for the rest, but I am afraid if I hand it over, that the ropes will snap, and I will lose total control again, and for the sake of my family, that can never happen again. I have to be strong, so the others can break down freely.
Under haunted skies I see
Where love is lost, you ghost is seen
The sky above Hogwarts has never looked so menacing, I look through the Main Door, and see the green haze floating like sinister clouds along the black night. Mounds are dotted here and there all along the grounds. Dead bodies. Deaths that were caused by you. Your presence hovers over the castle, like a smothering blanket, much more frightening than any other, because the thing that we are fighting for, is killing us.
I’ve braved a hundred storms to leave you
As hard as you try, no I will never be knocked down
An inner war rages inside of me. A little piece of myself tells me to listen to my heart, but that organ stopped the minute Fred’s did. It’s strange that I am still alive, that it still beats, yet I am not living. I am just stuck in this hell on earth. And I don’t have you to help me out. I can’t let you help me. Every time I let you help me, the harder I fall when you let me down.
Next time I’ll be braver, I’ll be my own saviour
With the thumb that cost me
I don’t know why I was put in Gryffindor. I’m not brave. I’ve only ever fought for you, or to be with you. Everything I have done since I was eleven has been for you, whether you knew it or not. But you can no longer be my knight in shining armour; I have to learn to protect myself.
Next time I’ll be braver, I’ll be my own saviour
Standing on my own two feet
The silence is deafening, I felt people pushing and shoving, I felt myself being herded onto the grounds, and I don’t know why. The faces around me look panic stricken, I can see my mother and father running faster than I have ever seen them. I sprint after them, worried another one of my family members are dead, when I see it. The black shroud of cloaks advancing fast towards us, Hagrid sticking out like a sore thumb in the middle. He is carrying something, a person. I peer at the face, trying to distinguish who it is.
The ropes snap, and the pieces of my heart zoom like invisible darts towards the body. I know that there will be no salvaging it this time. It is gone. I have to follow through on my promises; I must now be my own saviour, because now you are truly gone. I thought earlier that this would make me happy, to see you pay for all the lives you cost, but now I see that even with you paying your dues, it still tears me to shreds. This does not fill Fred’s gap, or make it seem any smaller, this just creates a new, even bigger chasm that stretches not only across my family unit, but the world. I feel myself scream out, but it sounds like I am under water, nothing else matters in this moment but you, and you are gone.
I have let you close enough to hurt me
I have asked you and now you have deserted me
I give you what I now know you had all along
I don’t want to say goodbye
To turning tables*
*This actually isn't part of the song, but it fitted better :)
My first attempt at a song-fic and I think it went pretty well :)

Wellington Phoenix midfielder Simon Elliott is confident the team will find consistent form soon after mixing their results in recent weeks.
But Elliott says the players are working hard to become a better side defensively and ensure that they give themselves every chance of winning matches, no matter where they play.
“I think people were disappointed in their own performances and disappointed in the team performance," Elliott said of the Roar loss.
"But I think we addressed some of those concerns at the weekend. We've still got a lot to work on in terms of how we approach games and be defensively disciplined because if you do that you don't concede goals and you win games."
Elliott, who is on a six-match short-term stint with the club, admitted he wasn’t looking too far ahead and just wanted to help the Phoenix achieve positive results during his stay.
“They are doing me a favour really so the only way I can repay them is by going out and doing the best I can to help the team,” he added.
"My focus and the team's focus is just on this next run of games, starting on Saturday (against Central Coast Mariners).
"Then we've got five games in two weeks after that so it's a big, big part of the season for us.
"If we can get good results in this next little patch then it sets the team up really nicely going into next year and the play-off run." | <urn:uuid:04c952d0-523d-414f-b6a1-ee86ae4b939b> | CC-MAIN-2014-15 | http://www.tribalfootball.com/articles/elliott-confident-wellington-phoenix-will-hit-consistent-form-soon-1240431 | 2014-04-20T04:47:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-15/segments/1397609537864.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20140416005217-00442-ip-10-147-4-33.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.980889 | 301 | [

Archive for the ‘AMC Rebel’ tag
It almost doesn’t add up: a Northeast-based car that has reportedly spent every day of the last 45 years on the road, and it hasn’t crumbled into a heap of rust? Yet that’s what’s claimed of this six-cylinder 1969 AMC Rebel station wagon for sale on Hemmings.com – an unrestored car that shows a bit of wear and tear here and there, but no terminal rot, not even on the underside photos included in the listing. From the seller’s description:
This is a very unique car. It’s a survivor with original paint that has been used every day of its life, well maintained and always garaged. I’ve done my best to show the car exactly as it is. Mechanically sound; everything works and the car runs smooth, without any vibrations, knocks or issues. All the gauges work: Speedometer, Gas, Temp, Oil and Charging light. Tires have minimal wear and the brakes stop easily without pulling. The paint is very original and thin in spots. One of the photos shows a small spot on the hood I waxed and the paint may have some life in it. All the chrome and brightwork are in excellent condition. The glass is in great shape and the windows and doors open and close smoothly without effort. Back tailgate opens and closes in both positions down and out. The front seat was recovered last year and the color doesn’t match the back. Matching material is still available. Minimal rust spot’s shown on the lower fenders and dogleg areas. I’m selling to make room for another car on the way.
Location: Levittown, New York

In researching the stories we publish in our print magazines, we often uncover fascinating tales associated with the origins of a particular car’s history or the path that led its owner to become so enamored with it above all others.
It happened again recently when we were assembling the Buyer’s Guide for the May issue of Hemmings Muscle Machines. The subject was the AMC Rebel Machine that the independent manufacturer offered for the 1970 model year, best known for its wild red, white, and blue paint scheme. We’d been looking for a good one to illustrate a guide for some time when freelance contributor Barry Kluczyk suggested the example owned by Tom Guarr.
In that story, Tom briefly mentions that the featured Machine is one of six that he currently owns, but we didn’t get to hear much more about his collection in the print story.
So when Kluczyk, who authored the piece, emailed us after the story went to the printer, with a vintage photo of a Rebel Machine with radio station call letters on the door, we were intrigued. Turns out, the car shown in the black-and-white image is not the same one that we featured, though it is one of the six in Tom’s stable. So what was the deal with the call letters?
“The local news radio station in my home town of Merriam, Kansas, was using that Rebel Machine as one of its reporter vehicles,” Tom told us. “My older brother had noticed it sitting in the lot at the station with expired tags some time in 1973; the next day after school, I nearly broke the door down to ask them whether it was for sale.”
Tom went on to explain that even though it had damaged fenders, a rough interior and a locked-up engine, he wanted it bad. Still, it took about six months of paper chasing with the radio station to make the deal. In the end, he took possession on his 16th birthday, buying The Machine for $150. “I figured it was worth it, since it had new tires,” said Tom with a chuckle.
The first order of business, after getting it home, was getting it running. Tom and his father performed what he refers to as, “the world’s cheapest rebuild,” on the 390, describing the process as a basic re-ring with new bearings and an “ultra-cheap” valve job. “I cut corners every way I could.”
In spite of that, Tom reports that the Machine ran great, a fact borne out by his use of it in that condition through the rest of high school, then on to college and even grad school, during which time he took the car from Kansas to upstate New York, then California, and finally to his first job in Kentucky. One of the images he shared shows The Machine during his move to Rochester, New York, with his motorcycle tagging along on what he referred to as a “homemade towing apparatus.”
“I put about 90,000 miles on that rebuild, and stopped driving the car regularly in about 1989,” Tom said, explaining that he then switched over to his next Machine, which he’d bought for $50 while in grad school. He still has that one, too.
For now, Tom’s first Machine is stored, awaiting restoration. The call letters were removed after about six months when the radio station’s lawyers sent Tom a letter strongly suggesting that he remove them. However, he held onto the placard he’d found inside, alerting law enforcement officers that the operator of the Machine was a “qualified member of the news media,” and should be treated with appropriate professional courtesy. It was signed by then Kansas City chief of police, Clarence Kelley, who later served as the director of the FBI.
AMC fans take note: This one is a four-speed, and the particularly keen-eyed will pick out the “Up With The Rebel Machine” AMC promotional decals in each of the rear quarter windows.
The original engine (and possibly the original rear axle) isn’t with this 1970 AMC Rebel Machine for sale on Hemmings.com, but it has the right engine code in the VIN, and it looks ready to show, with its in-yo-face red-white-and-blue stripes and correct Machine bits. From the seller’s description:
An excellent and rare muscle car built for AMC by Hurst. This nice example has been upgraded to an AMC 401-cu.in. V8 from the original 390ci V8 and came from the factory with the current Borg Warner T-10 4spd manual transmission and puts the power to the ground via the correct 9″ rear end. The correct white finish has the right AMC red, white and blue factory stripes with a blue RAM Air hood which includes the factory tachometer. The car is also fitted with the right AMC Rallye wheels with raised white letter tires. Just a little bit over 1000 of these Machines where built with the red, white and blue paint schemed. Correct Vin indicates this car is not a clone.
Location: Canton, Ohio
Status: No Longer Available

If it’s not a Machine, many people – even AMCers – tend to overlook the mid-size Rebel, particularly if it has a straight six, as is the case with this 1967 AMC Rebel SST for sale on Hemmings.com. Yet this car offers two things the Machine doesn’t: a droptop and 25 MPG fuel economy. From the seller’s description:
Rare car (1 of only 1,686 Rebel convertibles made in 1967). 232 Torque Command inline xix. Automatic on the coulmn. Red with white top, and red & white interior. Power convertible top, power steering, manual drum brakes. Has an aftermarket (modern) radio/CD mounted under the dash, with the original AM radio still in the dash where it’s supposed to be. Fortunately they didn’t chop up and destroy the dash to mount the newer radio.
Runs strong. Shifts nicely. These AMC inline sixes are strong, durable engines. I bought this car last spring and drove it home the 250 miles with no problems at all, and it got 23 mpg to boot. I haven’t had it long, but I’ve enjoyed cruising with it and showing it a few times. It gets a lot of attention at the car shows. It’s not just another Ford/Dodge/Chevy. I was told it has 78,000 original miles, but I don’t have the documentation to prove it. Very solid car, with no rust. Underneath is clean and solid.
Older restoration (was restored sometime in the mid-90′s). It got bodywork, new paint, newly upholstered interior, and rebuilt engine and trans at that time. It still looks great, but it’s obvious that the restoration it went through wasn’t a concours restoration. Interior is still gorgeous. Top and boot are very nice. The exterior is what I would call a typical 20-footer. Looks awesome from 20 feet, but upon closer inspection you can see some flaws: Chips in the paint here and there. some dings, the bodywork wasn’t perfect, the chrome has some flaws, etc. Certainly not a 100-point show car, but overall it’s a good looking, very good running/driving cruiser that you just won’t see another one of very often, if at all. Clear, open Wisconsin title.

If you’re in the midst of an AMC restoration, Ontario, Canada-based Jim’s Restoration has released a number of new reproduction parts in recent months, beginning with the rearview mirror pictured above. Applicable to owners of 1964-’66 AMC/Ramblers, the left/right mirror features a correct “R” and comes with an appropriate gasket for $129; it is also available without the “R” for 1967-’69 AMC/Ramblers for $109.
Jim’s also offers 1968-’74 AMX/Javelin/Rebel/Ambassador/Matador door handles with a correct brushed finish costing $99 each; they also fit 1975-’78 Matadors. New trunnions are available – complete with polyurethane bushings installed, and the bearing and install kit – which will fit 1968-’69 AMX and Javelin models, as well as 1964-’69 Americans (including the SC/Rambler); cost is $149 each without a core charge. Lastly, Jim’s offers 1963-’64 Classic/Ambassador and 1964-’69 American owners reproduction door handles at a cost of $149/pair with gaskets (images for these items can be seen in the gallery below).
Mopar Plus by PG Classic offers two-door, large-body AMC sill plates. Listed as part number AMC-466, they are listed as fitting 1968-’70 Rebel and Ambassadors, and retail for $149; they may fit other AMC applications as they are replacements for original AMC part number 3575572.
One would think that AMC guys and Mopar guys would have become all buddy-buddy sometime in the last 20 years, but such is not the case. The Mopar guys do their thing, and us AMCers do ours. Sure, AMCs are welcome at Mopar Nats, and every now and then a Mopar guy dabbles his toes in the Kenosha kult, but AMCers tend not to pay the Pentastar any more attention than they do the products from Ford or GM. Except for one dude.
Eddie Stakes, he of Texan burrito madness, recently sent along some pics of Kevin Johnston’s 1969 AMC Rebel with a few, er, custom touches. Like the billboard stripes and the E-body rear wing.
So I asked Kevin about the modifications. His reply:
The car was originally a 232 six cylinder. I was able to locate another 69 SST with a 290 Typhoon. I installed a mild cam had the crank re-ground an Edelbrock carb and dual exhaust installed. The intake and exhaust manifolds are stock. The heads were re-conditioned. The interior has aftermarket gauges, headliner replaced and a dash mounted tach. I plan on replacing the carpet this spring. The exterior has a number of modifications. The gas door is gone (fuel cell) rear spoiler, Mopar rallye rims, sport mirrors, and hood vents. The graphics were something I designed by combining the AAR Cuda strobe stripe and Cuda billboard. I had a local sign shop print out the AMC REBEL RACING TEAM decal for a final touch. I was always fond of the Trans Am cars and thought I might be a little creative with my Rebel. Of course there’s always a hundred questions when I show my car, thumbs up and lotsa smiles!! AMC LIVES!!!
Hey, he kept the AMC engine. And he kept it a 290. Not too many folks, AMCers included, will bother keeping a 290 when they could easily toss a 360 or 390 in there. Maybe the Mopar add-ons aren’t to everybody’s liking, but we’re not in this hobby to please everybody, right? | <urn:uuid:beb10148-0252-42f0-a56a-4ee46afee543> | CC-MAIN-2014-15 | http://blog.hemmings.com/index.php/tag/amc-rebel/ | 2014-04-24T06:11:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-15/segments/1398223205375.6/warc/CC-MAIN-20140423032005-00506-ip-10-147-4-33.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.961494 | 2,856 | [

With women's issues front and center again in the presidential campaign, a bus tour through several swing states kicked off Monday in opposition to President Obama's views on abortion.
At the same time, the Obama campaign launched a new TV ad — aimed at some of the same voters in some of the same key states — criticizing Republican Mitt Romney and his running mate, Paul Ryan, on the issue.
Simply stated: We give a donor a cool green shopping bag. Every time she goes shopping for her own groceries she buys one extra non-perishable item and puts it in the cool green bag. Every two months a volunteer picks up the bag at the home and gives her another.
Wind and solar get lots of attention, but another kind of renewable power actually creates more energy in our country --wood. The state of Massachusetts on Friday decided that these plants aren't green enough to get some special breaks.
A queen of comedy has died. Phyllis Diller had audiences in stitches for more than five decades with her outlandish get-ups and rapid-fire one-liners. She died at her home, where she had been in hospice care after a fall. She was 95.
Diller was glamorously outrageous — or at least the character she created was glamorously outrageous, the one who wore wigs that made her look like she had her finger in an electrical outlet, who wore gaudy sequined outfits. She was known for her laugh and those nasty jokes about her dimwitted husband, "Fang." | <urn:uuid:a72e4a19-1041-4065-8040-2eafcf83ef61> | CC-MAIN-2014-15 | http://wknofm.org/npr-news?page=5370 | 2014-04-24T07:30:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-15/segments/1398223205375.6/warc/CC-MAIN-20140423032005-00506-ip-10-147-4-33.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.981591 | 323 | [

I have a message driven bean that I want to call a session bean from. The problem is I don�t know how to authenticate the user because the session bean is protected by JAAS. The message driven bean is called by a different session bean, which is authenticated. So, is it possible to pass a principal or a user-id and password to the message driven bean and from there call something that authenticates us?
I don't understand your question... MDBs are messsage consumers that listen to a Queue or Topic. They can never be directly invoked by any code and therefore no security credentials can be propagated. [ February 26, 2004: Message edited by: Chris Mathews ]
Client's security context is not propaged to MDBs. Using <security-identity> tag for MDBs, you can propagate a constant role to the Session bean. All beans being called from the onMessage() method of the MDB will have the same role propagated. I am not sure if this would help you :roll:
Joined: Dec 12, 2003
Thanks for the replies, all! I will go into a bit more detail, so that it makes more sense. This is how it is set up � it may seem like madness, but there is reasoning behind it (which I won�t go into): We start out with an authenticated user invoking a method in SessionBean1. SessionBean1 sends message to queue -> MDB1 picks up message and calls SessionBean2, which is in a different application and is not protected by security. -> SessionBean2 sends a message to queue -> MDB2 picks up message and calls SessionBean3. -> SessionBean3 is protected by security and the remote interface cannot even be created because we have no principal. Vish, I think you are onto something. I'll try to research it a bit. If anyone has any examples of this being done, that would be very helpful.

Naval Station New York
Stapleton Pier / USS The Sullivans Pier
Stapleton, Staten Island, NY
Naval Station New York was planned for Stapleton on Staten Island in New York. The decision to place a home port in Staten Island was always a political decision and never a military decision, seeking support all over the country for the Navy's master plan. The battleship Iowa was supposed to be berthed in this home port. The Navy insisted on maintaining nuclear weapons option for the battleship Iowa.
The Staten Island home port would have important economic benefits for New York. The Staten Island home port would create more than 4,000 new jobs in the area and generate $387 million per year in additional revenue for the city.
The US Navy's Strategic Homeporting Berthing Pier was constructed in the late 1980s for the USS Iowa Battleship Group. Mueser Rutledge Consulting Engineers [MRCE] was retained to develop an alternative structural design of the piling and deck support system for this 90 foot by 1,410 foot pier. After study of several design approaches, a system was selected for design incorporating 54 inch diameter precast concrete cylinder piles and use of precast concrete pile caps, vaults, and pier deck planking. The alternative design was approved by the Navy was successfully constructed with a substantial savings in cost and construction time. MRCE was also responsible for the contractor's quality control.During construction of this award-winning $60 million pier, one of the largest marine structures ever built on the East Coast, Yonkers Contracting Company suggested a value engineering redesign of the pier piles that improved constructibility, saved almost $1 million, and cut three months off the construction schedule. The US Navy's Strategic Homeporting Berthing Pier was the recipient of the Concrete Industry Board's 1989 Annual Award.
As of 1990 it was estimated to cost almost a half billion dollars to open and operate the Staten Island base over the following 5 years. At that time the U.S. Government had expended $136 million on initial construction of this facility. This could be recouped from the sale of the facility, but it would take $57 million more to bring the base into initial operating capability. The General Accounting Office reported that it would take at least $400 million more to bring the base to full operating capability and operate the base over the next 5 years. Its supporters asserted that it is 90 percent complete, since 90 percent of the $188 million authorized by Milcon to achieve initial operating capacity had been spent. But, according a 1988 Navy document, $446 million in total construction expenditures would be required to bring the port to full operating capacity. Thus, according to the Navy's own figures, the port was less than 50 percent complete. Additional work needed included 850 housing units that would cost $120 million. Even groundbreaking had not taken place on it. A headquarters building had to be built, a construction battalion unit facility had to be completed, a public works facility had to be done. also. That totaled $425 million alone. The Navy said, in addition, it needed bachelors enlisted quarters and officers quarters, it needed a child care center, it needed a post exchange, commissaries, a physical fitness and general well-being facility, and it needed additional fencing.
This state-of-the-art naval facility was designed to quickly deploy vessels to the open sea in times of national crisis and emergency. The base would also serve a valuable reserve role for personnel who must now travel to Philadelphia or Newport, RI, for training.
New York City is a very expensive place to base ships. The Navy said that it would cost twice as much for family housing on Staten Island than at other areas. Further, the cost of operating ships out of Staten Island would run $15 million to $20 million more per year than keeping the ships where they are in ports like Norfolk or Philadelphia.
There was no strategic rationale for this new home port. There would be no time gained in deployment, since ships from Staten Island would still need to convoy with ships based in other east coast ports. Since the mothballing of the battleship Iowa, which was to be the centerpiece of the home port, the home port had lost its purpose.
Citizens groups and legislators had been protesting against the establishment of the Staten Island "nukeport" since it was first proposed. Stationing ships with nuclear weapons in the extremely densely populated area of New York City represents dangerously irresponsible planning. This safety threat was said to be completely out of proportion to the defensive value the home port would have. New York opposition to the base has been consistent, widespread, and adamant. According to a 1985 poll, a majority of the city's citizens oppose the base. New York City does not want the base. This base is in an overwhelming Democratic area. But the city's Democratic mayor, David Dinkins, and 11 of the 12 Democratic New York City Representatives said: `Close the base.' Barry Goldwater said it was the stupidest idea he ever heard in over 25 years in the Senate, to build a Navy home port in the most expensive city in the United States.
In 1986 a majority of the House of Representatives passed the amendment to stop the New York home port. They took it out in conference committee because the Navy come in and lobbied the Congress. The Governor of New York was supportive of home-porting Staten Island, and the Representative from the New York area where the home port was being built, Susan Molinari, was supportive. The Democratic speaker of the New York City Council, Peter Vallone, supported the home port; a majority of the Democratically controlled New York City Council supported the home port; a majority of the Democratically controlled New York State assembly supported the project; the Democratic borough presidents of Queens, Brooklyn, and the Bronx supported the home port; and the Democratic Governor of the State, Mario Cuomo, supported the Staten Island home port.
The U.S. Navy honored the memory of the five "Fighting Sullivan" brothers 19 April 1997 as it accepted into commission the newest guided missile destroyer, USS The Sullivans (DDG 68), at Stapleton Pier, Staten Island, NY. A permanent memorial to the five brothers was dedicated at Stapleton Pier in May 1998. Stapleton Pier, a military installation which fell into disuse the commissioning, was renamed USS The Sullivans Pier. Staten Islanders and the committee heading the commissioning ceremonies hope the pier will be a permanent site for decommissioned Navy ships.
The July 2000 International Naval Review 2000, / OpSail 2000 was the largest gathering of foreign and domestic sailing vessels and naval warships ever assembled. This historic Fourth of July event required a mammoth effort. With more than 100 ships visiting from nearly 30 countries, plus a visit from President Clinton and the largest fireworks display in New York history, preparations were huge. More than 150 tall ships and classic craft, nearly three dozen naval warships, and more than 50,000 spectator boats filled New York Harbor. The Naval Undersea Warfare Center awarded a sole source contract the Stapleton Pier Authority, Staten Island, NY to provide berthing space for US ships to be docked during 5-9 July 2000. Ships at the Staten Island, USS Sullivan Pier included USS Elrod (frigate), USS Hue City (cruiser), USS Nassau (helicopter carrier), and USS Underwood (frigate), as well as Brasil (a frigate from Brazil), HMCS Montreal (a frigate from Canada), Yuugiri (a destroyer from Japan), Endurance (a transport ship from Singapore), and Fatih (a frigate from Turkey). Using 15-ton forklifts, Seabees positioned 44 brows [gangways from pier to ship] for visiting ships. More than 20 brows were salvaged and moved to Stapleton Pier, Staten Island, to be used during INR 2000, saving the Navy more than $60,000 in rental and purchase costs.

New Bruno Mars track "The Other Side" features B.o.B. and Cee-Lo. Time to get excited about next week's EP.
Here's the newest track off the upcoming Bruno Mars EP It's Better If You Don't Understand, which comes out May 11. This song started cropping up on YouTube last night. It's not as good as "Nothin' On You" or the first single off the EP, which you can hear below.
But it is likely to be the one that gets the most attention. Because while Bruno Mars is likely to be a huge star once his full-length comes out, possibly later this year, right now he is much better known through his associations. The B.o.B. verse comes from an obvious connection. Cee-Lo's appearance makes sense for artistic reasons; they're both genre-bending, scene-stealing singers.
Raised in Hawaii by Filipino and Puerto Rican parents, Bruno Mars appeared on the cover of Hawaii's MidWeek magazine as Little Elvis at the age of four. If you click through that story, you'll find a photo of Mars doing Michael Jackson impersonation as a teenager.
Before he carried B.o.B.'s "Nothin' On You" to the top of the Billboard chart with that sublime hook, Bruno Mars was better known (inasmuch as he was known at all) for his work behind the boards. He is one half of The Smeezingtons, who have done production and/or writing work for K'naan, Brandy, Maroon 5 and Flo Rida (sigh).
The Smeezingtons also produced both tracks on which Bruno Mars has thus far sung, "Nothin' On You" and Travie McCoy's "Billionaire," for which the video premiered yesterday.
"The Other Side" is the second song from It's Better If You Don't Understand to make it onto the internet -- the first is "Somewhere in Brooklyn," which you can hear below.

That Palestinian kid from Florida is portrayed by the media as some innocent American kid. Its interesting how he was right in the line of heat where Israeli police and Palestinians were mixing it up. Why would an innocent vacationing teen just happen to get mixed up in that mess?
Answer: you already know
The MSM didn’t hardly mention the US citizen that was murdered (1 of the 3 kids)

Sorry San Francisco, but your Dungeness crabs don’t even come close to Chesapeake blue claw crabs. They’re okay, but that’s about the extent of it. There’s nothing like a blue claw crab, whether it’s steamed, in a crab cake with as little filler as possible, crab soup, or my favorite, soft shell.
I say this as an unbiased Baltimore native who still craves blue claw crabs years after moving away. San Francisco may otherwise have a much better food culture than Charm City, and it’s one of the best cities in the US, but when it comes to crabs, pick another battle.
Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake of Baltimore and Mayor Edwin M. Lee of San Francisco announced a friendly bet on TODAY Friday that involves a day of service and some cracked crab for the loser. The winning team’s mayor will host the losing city’s mayor to do a day of work with AmeriCorps to promote volunteer service. The losing team’s mayor will then taste defeat in the form of a signature delicacy: getting their hands dirty cracking either Dungeness crab in San Francisco or Atlantic blue crab in Baltimore while wearing the opposing team’s jersey.
“I can’t wait to host (Lee) when we win for a day of service with our AmeriCorps volunteers,” Rawlings-Blake told Natalie Morales during an excited gathering of fans in Baltimore on Friday. “May the best woman win.”
“We’re going to get Mayor Rawlings-Blake,” Lee told Al Roker in front of a raucous group of 49ers fans in San Francisco. “I love working with her, we’re part of a national mayor’s conference, she’s a great leader, and she’ll be here at Fisherman’s Wharf eating crab.” | <urn:uuid:b80cadd4-44a7-435b-b38c-0a0559e9aecd> | CC-MAIN-2015-27 | http://americablog.com/2013/02/mayors-from-super-bowl-cities-bet-local-crab-feast.html | 2015-07-06T11:30:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-27/segments/1435375098196.31/warc/CC-MAIN-20150627031818-00192-ip-10-179-60-89.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.91375 | 410 | [

An upcoming Friday morning could be the most important of the season, according to Carl Anderson, a Texas A&M Extension economist.
A web presentation on the latest developments in the cotton industry will take place Friday, July 13, at 8:30 a.m. Eastern, 7:30 a.m. Central, at the New York Board of Trade in New York. O.A. Cleveland, Mississippi State University economist, Anderson, and Jarral Neeper, Calcot, Bakersfield, Calif., will provide snapshots of what happening in the cotton markets and an update on crop conditions from USDA's July 11 crop production report.
Growers can participate via the Internet or at local county Extension offices.
The event will also feature special guest speakers who will provide broader cotton industry updates. John Maguire, vice president of Washington operations, National Cotton Council, will give a Washington outlook. Joe Nicosia, CEO, Allenberg Cotton, Co., will talk about world demand and his market outlook and Jerry Rowland, president and CEO, National Textiles, will discuss domestic demand and the state of the U.S. textile industry and what it means to the cotton industry.
Hosts of the web presentation are the New York Board of Trade, the Ag Market Network and Farm Press Publications.
Why is the event so important to cotton producers? “This is one of the few places where the entire industry can get a broad perspective on what's happening in cotton,” Anderson said. “Right now, we have high demand for extremely low quality cotton and high demand for extremely good quality cotton and the middle quality cotton is just sitting there. Merchants can't move it. That ties into the problems that the American textile industry is having.”
Anderson says by mid-July, information on production and yield potential for the new crop should be falling into place. Analysts will likely provide some early guesses on where prices are headed and what pricing strategies might be employed by producers. Anderson says ag lenders could also benefit from the information.
When the speakers are finished, there will be a period of open discussion, followed by questions from the chat room, which is accessible by all those listening on the Internet. These questions will be projected onto the wall at the New York Board of Trade.
Anderson says that it's essential for cotton producers to develop an understanding of the cotton industry beyond the farm. These days, such knowledge can be as meaningful to a grower's bottom line as a long, steady rain. “The farmers who are not interested in expanding their understanding are the ones I'm seeing get a step or two behind,” he said.
Anderson noted that cotton's latest boom period, from 1985 to 1995, saw domestic cotton use climb from 5.5 million bales to over 11 million bales and total market offtake shoot from 11 million bales to 18 million bales. “That was really a big boost to our growers and our infrastructure,” Anderson said. “It gave them a lot more volume.”
But demand has leveled off recently and it's time to rethink approaches to cotton production and marketing, according to Anderson.
“To start, our producers need exposure to what's happening with the big merchants in the international markets,” he said. “They need to know what's happening to the American textile manufacturers. The producer is not going to sell cotton unless there is some user in America or elsewhere who is going to buy that cotton.
“There are lot of things changing and producers and others who can anticipate and make necessary changes will be okay. They'll be the survivors.”
You can join the discussion via the Internet from your own computer, or at one of numerous county Extension sites listening in by teleconference. The teleconference sites may also be linked to the site via computers and the Internet.
You can call your local Extension agent or the Ag Market Network to find the nearest location for a teleconference broadcast, but the sponsors of the event encourage you to participate through your own computer terminal.
To register, contact the New York Board of Trade at Four World Trade Center, New York, NY, 10048 or 800-HEDGE IT (800-433-4348) or e-mail [email protected].
You must also register as a user on the NYBOT site (www.nybot.com), which you should do early. You can also download Real Player, a software program you will need to participate in the event, at this time. Click on the “NYBOT/Live on the Web” icon after you've registered and then the RealPlayer link (see instructions in box above).
On the morning of July 13, you may “get your seat” 30 minutes prior to the event by going to www.nybot.com and clicking on the Cotton Roundtable banner.
During the conference, you can listen to the speakers and pull up charts they are referring to. You can also enter a chat room to view questions or comments that other participants are asking the speakers and ask your own questions.
If you do happen to miss the program, an audio recording of the event and the charts will be available at www.nybot.com shortly after the event's conclusion.
“There's no other place short of the Beltwide Cotton Conferences where you can get this type of information so quickly,” Anderson said.
Here's how you can join in
LIVE FROM NEW YORK, it's cotton on the web! This mid-season update of the cotton markets featuring a panel of economists, industry analysts and farm policy watchers will take place on Friday, July 13, 8:30 a.m., eastern. 7:30 a.m. central. You can participate in this event via the Internet or at local county Extension offices. Registration is free.
To participate via the Internet, you absolutely, positively, need to download RealPlayer Basic (if you haven't already). It takes time to do the download, so do it well before the program.
This download is really not so difficult, if you understand that the nice folks at RealPlayer.com are on the web to sell things (mainly their Real,etc. Plus products which are good products and certainly worthy of purchase). But you can get all the good free stuff just fine if you simply ignore the marketing material on the home page and keep after those free download links. Getting free stuff can be hard work in the free market.
You can go directly to these instruction at http://www.nybot.com/seminars/realplayerinstr.htm.
Go to www.nybot.com and register. After you register, click the “NYBOT/Live on the Web” icon, then the RealPlayer icon. You will be deposited on the RealPlayer home page. Now remember, you always look for the free download link.
Scroll to the bottom. Click on Free Download for RealPlayer Basic.
The RealPlayer Plus page will appear. Don't be discouraged. Just scroll a little, if necessary, and near the bottom of the page will be a RealPlayer Basic link. Click on this link to get one step closer to the free program you want.
This brings you to the “marketing info” page where you will need to fill in all of the fields. You may wish to uncheck the box for item 5 to avoid extra e-mailings. Then click on the Download FREE RealPlayer Basic beta.
And then you land on the download option page (you are almost home). They already have a recommended option package checked. Unless you are into lots of music and entertainment on the internet, best to ignore that and click on (check) column 3 which will give you a RealPlayer Basic stand-alone download (this will shorten the download), then click on the button “Download FREE RealPlayer Basic Now.”
This takes you to the actual, for real, Download page where you click on a location link (probably Seattle or SF Bay area), which will start the download process.
You'll get the download window. Choose “Save to disk” which will download the program setup. This may take a while. Just follow the download, open and install instruction from then on out and you should have no problems. Allow plenty of time for download and installation if you have a slow modem.
Be sure to install the program after the download.
Still having problems? Call or e-mail Tom Walker, New York Board of Trade at 800-433-4348 or [email protected].
On the day of the event, go to www.nybot.com before the start of the program and click on the Cotton Roundtable banner. | <urn:uuid:e5726abb-459d-48bc-9d50-bec0d7b871d3> | CC-MAIN-2015-27 | http://deltafarmpress.com/print/top-economists-featured-july-13-cotton-web-update | 2015-07-06T13:07:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-27/segments/1435375098196.31/warc/CC-MAIN-20150627031818-00192-ip-10-179-60-89.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.920622 | 1,820 | [

LAND O’ LAKES — A pitching duel was expected, and a duel is what it was.
Fivay’s Sean Fluke outpitched David Castillo as the Falcons (5-2) topped 5A-District 8 foe Sunlake (4-3), 2-1, in eight innings Tuesday night.
“We expected it to be a good pitching matchup, and it sure was,” Fivay coach Matt Hayes said. “And Sean Hayes pitched one amazing game.”
Fluke (5-0) gave up five hits with no walks and struck out eight on 98 pitches, which outdid Castillo (2-2), who had 15 strikeouts on 131 pitches. Castillo allowed four walks and hit two batters, including plunking Charlie Simmens with the bases loaded in the top of the eighth to score T.J. Niles for the winning run.
Sunlake rallied in the bottom of the seventh after Omar Cala reached on an error by Sean Litvin that allowed Zac Howard to score from second. Fivay had taken a 1-0 lead in the fourth when Fluke singled and stole second. Then an errant pickoff let courtesy runner Richard Brohm score from second.
Both Fluke and Castillo worked out of two-on, no-out jams in the sixth inning. Castillo was aided by catcher interference and got a strikeout, while Fluke struck out two of three batters after allowing two singles to start the inning.
“I knew that I had to just have trust in my shortstop (Jarrod Mattos) and get the strikes down and get ahead in counts,” Fluke said. “I knew I could get ground balls throughout the game, too, but I knew this game would be a close one the whole way.” | <urn:uuid:79d00abb-1dd0-47ce-955a-89146d5ccd7d> | CC-MAIN-2015-27 | http://tbo.com/sports/preps/fivay-wins-pitching-duel-with-sunlake-20140305/ | 2015-07-06T12:25:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-27/segments/1435375098196.31/warc/CC-MAIN-20150627031818-00192-ip-10-179-60-89.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.961841 | 382 | [

Ok I have a question.
11/12 AA A300 flight crashes.
9/11 AA and UAL have planes hijacked.
July 96 TWA Flight 800 crashes
March 92 USAir plane crashes
Jan 90 Avianca (is that US?) crashes
June 75 Eastern plan crashes
Feb 65 ANOTHER Eastern plane crashes
March 62 AA plan crashes
Dec 60 UAL and TWA planes collide midair
Feb 59 AA Plane crashes.
Most of these are just NY Crashes. There are a few exceptions (Egyptair and Swissair) is it me or do the US airliners have bad fate?

Maybe it is proportional to the amount of flying that is done. 700 million Americans flew last year and the numbers are projected to increase year over year.
700 MILLION people, that's just under 3996 flights each day on a 480 seat 747 @ 100% load factor for a year.
or that is 14752 flights each day on a 130-seat MD-80 with a 100% load factor for a full year.
think about that, just the sheer numbers of planes.
Then you have the private planes, VFR, IFR and all those fortune 500 companies that have FLEETS.
Couple of points
US Air had 5 crashes in 5 years
also the reporting of crashes here is higher (since the government here gets involved in airline crashes)
If you gather ALL the crashes (including the TU-154s, the Yaks, South America, Australia, Africa, Asia, and Europe) I bet you will find that the proportional amount of crashes occur (i would gather that flight completion ratio of the US-bsaed airlines is actually higher than other airlines).

Well, for Heaven's Sake !!!!
You've consolidated 42 YEARS worth of airliner travel, and listed a just a handful of accidents!
And you're concentrating on JUST U.S. airlines during this forty-plus-year period. There are bound to be several US crashes in that amount of time. And hundreds more besides, both US and Intl.! That list is just a drop in the bucket for the years spanned.

Well, if you break the numbers down it all boils down to simple statistics. It's also the same reason someone says driving a green car is safer than driving a red car. It probably didn't occur to them that there are more red cars on the road than green cars so relatively speaking, green cars get into less accidents. It's an accurate statement but without all the facts, it can be misleading.
Its better to be on the ground wishing you were in the air than be in the air wishing you were on the ground. Fly safe!

For those who don't know, some background information about these particular crashes, and others...
We know about American 587.
We also know about the 9/11 hijackings.
TWA 800 crashed into the Atlantic off Long Island. All aboard killed.
In '92, a USAir F-28 overran the runway at LaGuardia, crashing into Flushing Bay after being improperly de-iced. 27 of 51 on board killed.
In 1990, an Avianca 707 crashed into a wooded suburban area on Long Island while on approach to JFK. Bad weather led the aircraft to be put into a holding pattern, after which, difficulty communicating between the flight crew and ATC caused a serious underestimate of the fuel exhaustion danger the aircraft was in. While circling, the plane ran out of fuel and crashed. [As a side note, one of the passengers was found to be carrying illegal drugs in his body]
In 1989, a USAir 737-400 overran the runway at LaGuardia, crashing into the East River. The aircraft's rudder trim had been improperly set at full left, causing the aircraft to lose control. 2 out of 63 aboard killed.
An Eastern 727-200 crashed on approach to JFK in 1975 after encountering severe windshear just before reaching the runway. Microburst was so severe, pilots flying the exact same approach under same conditions in the simulator afterwards could not find a way to save the aircraft. Intense fire after impact. 115 of 124 on board killed.
Eastern DC-7 crashed on approach to JFK after taking evasive action to avoid a PA 707 that ATC had placed on a converging track. All 84 aboard killed.
In 1962, an American 707 crashed on takeoff from JFK into Jamaica Bay after a rudder servo malfunction that caused the rudder to stick in a turn after the aircraft rotated. The 707 plunged into the shallow water of the bay (approx. inches-to-feet), and broke up. All 84 aboard killed.
A United DC-8 and TWA Constellation collided over Brooklyn after the United jet oversped and entered the traffic pattern at an incredibly high rate of speed. The crippled TWA aircraft struggled and crashed into a military airfield, while the United jet crashed into an urban area in Brooklyn. The only survivor of the crash, an 8 year old unaccompanied minor, died the next day. All 84 on the United jet were killed, as were all 44 on the TWA aircraft, plus 6 on the ground.
In 1959, an American Electra crashed into the East River on approach to LaGuardia after the crew misinterpreted an altimeter reading. 64 of the 73 aboard were killed.
In 1957, a Northeast DC-6 stalled and crashed after takeoff from LaGuardia. The aircraft crashed into Riker's Island, a state prison, and caught fire. 21 of 101 aboard were killed. | <urn:uuid:1875fdd8-a1b1-4364-83c2-230b2284c334> | CC-MAIN-2015-27 | http://www.airliners.net/aviation-forums/general_aviation/read.main/639888/ | 2015-06-30T08:22:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-27/segments/1435375091925.14/warc/CC-MAIN-20150627031811-00132-ip-10-179-60-89.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.940922 | 1,484 | [

65 yr old incurable God lover | Reviewer: Judy
Music is huge for me. I relate to how teens feel about 'their' music. I love contemporary Christian music and thank God for it, be it rock, heavy metal, pop etc. I am mostly alone in my music choice among my peers and the young people don't quite get me talking about music their parents don't like when I am grandma's age not mom's age. BUT God, who is rich in mercy, because of his great love, when I was dead in my sins (partying in the 60's and 70's), made me alive together with Christ, by grace alone. That was 45 years ago and I still enjoy the Beatles and the influence they have had on Christian music because I am sure no style of music is despised by God when a true child of God writes a song that edifies the church. There are exceptions and we all have heard them but I can enter into worship with "we're a band" or 'revolution' as readily as 'a mighty fortress is our God'. I would like more doctrinal depth but I love the freedom God gives us to like or dislike music. The only music I really dislike is 'baroque'. Fingernails on a blackboard! I think music lovers will be swept away by the sounds we will hear in heaven. We have only a tiny taste here. I can hardly wait. Judy
Honestly... | Reviewer: JML
...worship is not about a song. Worship is not the "slow songs" you do at church, at least, it shouldn't be. Worship should be your LIFESTYLE. Everything you do and say should bring glory, honor, and worship to God. We are His temple, He dwells within us. There are many ways to worship God. Whether it be singing, clapping, dancing, or serving, we must glorify Him at all times.
How wonderful .. Holy of Holies | Reviewer: New in my Walk
We were studying 'the blood of the Lamb' in our recent Bible study and wow, the next Sunday we sang this in church. It has not left my mind since and I sing the chorus all day long in and to praise GOD our Father.
I don't know who wrote this but it certainly covers a lot for me. My thanks to our Father for instilling these beautiful words in someone's mind, and to that person for putting it on paper for us all to sing.
Praise GOD!! | Reviewer: Cliff Owen
I praise God and thank HIM every day for all that HE give us! With that said, I am oh so happy that He will meet up where we are. Who said that God is only happy with "Kumbaya" type music or the good ole "bluegrass" gospel music. Ok, so you like it? Cool. But how will that music minister to the younger crowd? How will you attract the attention of kids today with music that they can not relate to?
You have to go where "they" are! I have always supported "contemporary" Christian music, and will until the day He calls me home!
Step aside Satan! A new group of Christians are here, and we are taking it to the streets, bars, and anywhere there are people in need of Christ!
Look, this isn't the '50s! And this isn't "Leave it to Beaver"! Look around you at what kids of today have to live in and with. There is a new approach required to touch them, to talk to them, and mostly to get them to listen. It just isn't going to happen with "old school" gospel music.
Like I said earlier, if you like it, great. If it ministers to you, then that is perfect; for you.
May God keep you all strong and bold in His name!
Is this right? | Reviewer: Dr. Donn
I read where King David broke all the rules in writing his songs, in fact i have heard it prostulated that he did not sing the same song twice but was alwyas writing new ones in various new ways to suit the new musical instruments he invented... King Solomon likewise as his father used older songs and even "bar songs" reworded to fit praise and worship.... ok before you hit me, listen up....
I have been doing this for over 50 years and have played professionally before becomming exclusivly a Christain musician... Ever listen to the words of love songs and how they could never fit a human but only God? Even if they have some humans name in there, coudl they really love for eternity? Coudl they really m ake the world go away? or take away your fearS? No! Only God can do this thru Jesus...I have seen many crossover songs become popular and have heard many 'bar' songs rewritten with only one or two word changes to fit perfectly for God instead of soem human.... As for rock music in church....Some are not comfortable with it... remember you olders folks when only an organ was acceptable? or vocals only and no intruments at all? THings change, music changes, but the motive and heart is what God looks at not the joyful noise. It is that sacrifice of praise that gets His attention. To each His own as you like, but remember you may not like rock music, but if it gets a few thousand young people saved, then as Jesus said, (losely phrased) "If they are not agaisnt me then they are for me, forbid them not what they are doing."
Just my experienced two cents worth from +55 yrs of praise and worship in church, as music minister and psalmist.
PS. I love this song and have been there and seen where the Holy Spirit came down so powerfully when this song was sung that no one but a few musicians could even stand up....
History of church music | Reviewer: Rebecca
People are always arguing over the music & tempo of religious music, but none know the history. There was no music, then music was added with an organ, music borrowed from bar songs (not the words, just the music, then other instruments added, then different genres, etc. Many of the different denominations exist only because one denomination wouldn't let them add an instrument or music or tempo. Religious music is ever evolving just as everything else. What you grew up with & think is the only way was one something new that was not accepted by others.
My view | Reviewer: Leo
I think that sing song is amazing. I also think that the verse has a very direct meaning.
"Take me past the outer courts
Into the Holy Place
Past the brazen altar
Lord I want to see your face
Pass me by the crowds of people
And the Priests who sing your praise
I hunger and thirst for your righteousness
But it's only found in one place"
I think that by saying "take me past the outer courts...past the brazen alter, Lord i want to see your face," AND "Past the crowds and priests...your righteousness is only found in one place."
I think these mean to PASS BY these things like alters and crowds...Gods righteousness is only found in His presence, and I think the lyrics are saying we should pass these displays and be with God as close as possible.
abc...123 | Reviewer: Anonymous
Brad Jessup said "not pleasing to the Father when we worship and praise how we want to."
I disagree in some cases. i think it is fine to use different genres to sing and worship God. Like he said, cain worshiped and praised how he wanted and God rejected but PERSONALIZING it wont upset God. If we are still using music to worship God, then why does it matter if you use something besides the hymnal tune and twist it up and experiment. Whatever you do to it, its still for God and about God. its not like we're sacraficing like what Brad said. we are just doing it different. nothing wrong with that.
Good... | Reviewer: Ananya Bhardwaj
See i am not christian.. i am a Hindu from India..
but i just love this song..
i've listen both the versions..
the one which has "take the coal touch my lips here i am "..
and the one which has cleanse my lips..
i dont know which one is right.. but still.. i feel that is song is brilliant..
and every morning i sing this song as my prayer...
its just amazing..
Relax | Reviewer: James
Kutless is a band that has extra pressure because they are a Christian band. They rise to the occasion and take the hits people give them if a lyric is questionable. They're just praising God. Relax. Why would they go to so much effort is they were satanists or something? I believe that God doesn't care if you use hard rock or acoustic music to praise him. It's the thought that counts. He isn't unreasonable. Again.

CHICAGO — In the spirit of Halloween, American Drycleaner asked members of the trade audience to answer which spooky scenario frightens them the most. And while there was a clear-cut No. 1 choice, every potential situation presented in the Wire survey received votes.
Top of the list—at 26.3%—was receiving a call from the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) after it had received an anonymous complaint. Running a close second at 23.7% was a lengthy power outage. Third (15.8%) was “other,” including fears of going out of business and being investigated by the Environmental Protection Agency.
Other scenarios were a key piece of equipment is out of commission (13.2%), a big customer stops using your service (10.5%), a staff member injured on the job threatens to sue (5.3%), circumstances force a 10% cut in next year’s budget (2.6%), and an audit reveals that funds are missing (2.6%).
Operators were asked about the most frightening thing to have affected their store or plant. Some of the responses were:
- “IRS changing the locks and putting a very large sign on my door.”
- “Delivery truck rolled over in the snow with 1,000 garments on it!”
- “Losing a big contract with one of our vendors.”
- “A mouse got in under the back door.”
- “Finding an intruder inside the factory looking at my machines.”
- “(An) employee pull(ed) a press down on her hand.”
- “The poor appearance and dress standards that prevail today with no end in sight.”
The U.S. economy’s recent peaks and valleys have rivaled those of the scariest roller coaster. So, what is operators’ outlook for 2012? Approximately 23% believe the economy will be better. The largest share—35%—believes it will be about the same. Thirty percent believe it will be worse, and 12.5% are unsure.
While the Wire survey presents a snapshot of readers’ viewpoints at a particular moment, it should not be considered scientific.
Subscribers to Wire e-mails—distributed twice weekly—are invited to take the industry survey anonymously online each month. All dry cleaners are encouraged to participate, as a greater number of responses will help to better define operator opinions and industry trends.

The Worst of RedbyRedHairedandFriendly©
The following is a self-review of my lowest scored stories. I am once again participating in the Literotica 2012 Survivor Contest, where authors attempt to write as many stories in one year, in as many different categories. I reviewed my top stories back in 2006, so I figured why not review the worst in 2012!
Here's the layout of the review.
Place in the top 10 - Story Name -- Score -- Genre
Let's get started! The number ten slot for Red's worst scoring story belongs to:
10. Your Welcome Home -- 4.09 -- Erotic Couplings
An author's note lets the reader know that this is my first attempt at writing a story in second-person narrative. I also ask for constructive criticism -- looking at the comments that were left everyone seemed to like it, so the score is a tad bit deceiving right?
The story is a slow moving, easy loving write that begins with "You" coming home from work and watching your lover approach. She's dressed provocatively; the house is empty of distractions. Supper is ready and so are the two of you. After a lovely meal, some sinful bites of dessert, and heated glances paired with tender touches, you and your lover take things to a more intimate nature.
I would say for the most part the grammar isn't too distracting. If you can get past the use of scones instead of sconces on the wall and a few "too and to" mix-ups, I think this is a good read. It's probably one of the more "flowery" stories I've ever written. As I read it, I saw it more as a poetic and romantic piece, more than an Erotic Coupling.
9. Hollyquirk Studios Week 05 - 4.08 -- Chain Stories
Okay, this was painful to read in regards to errors. It's full of them -- my apologies and someday I will most likely edit that story and resubmit it. The story itself is a good, dirty tale. Hollyquirk Studios was a short-lived chain story that had a lot of potential, but unfortunately didn't take off as well as we'd all hoped.
This particular chapter to the chain revolves around Reese, a young star who is working her way through the camera and lighting crew so she can guarantee the best shots for a film that is currently in production. Her nemesis is Susan, an older and more experienced actress.
Week 5 shows a woman willing to do anyone to get ahead and if you can bypass the spelling and grammar issues, it too is a quick read. It does contain anal, so if that isn't your thing, you should probably stay away.
8. Portraits for Her Husband - 4.05 -- Loving Wives
I battled an inner demon with this story, not a serious one. It isn't a real story, but the demon was there. I had so much going on, that I wasn't sure where to place the tale once it was complete. Portraits is about a woman who arrives at a photographer's studio. She's there to have pictures taken of herself in erotic positions, so that she can give them to her husband. I know it sounds like the typical "cheating" wife and photographer story -- but it isn't.
If you take the time to read the story, you'll see that isn't the case at all. This story is told from the wife's point of view and she really does love her husband. I know that the category is one that is often "trolled" by readers, simply because they assume the wife is going to cockold her husband.
Read Portraits because it is anything but typical. The story contains, exhibition/voyeurism, masturbation, erotic couplings as well as romance. In the end though not all tales come with a big red happily-ever-after bow on top -- or do they?
7. Goodbye - 4.05 -- Letters & Transcripts
This story was another "first" for me. It is a telephone conversation between two lovers who connected on the web, and then moved their relationship into verbally communicating over the phone. Both were married to other people, but over time they developed deep personal feelings for each other.
Their "dirty little secret" is exposed when the wife of the gentleman picks up a downstairs phone and hears him confess his love to someone other than her. What happens within the household makes it painfully obvious that the phone conversations must cease. The man and woman decide to have one last telephone conversation where they confess their love, but also accepting that this is their last time to fantasize for and with each other.
I know this story isn't everyone's cup of tea, and even now, years later, after reading back through it I can see why. It is a bit difficult to read, though the text detailing who is speaking is offset by one person in italics, the other not. If I were to do this story again, it would be with richer detail and less use of the words "I love you..."
The lesson learned: Sometimes it's better in your head than in print.
6. 24 Hours: 2pm -5:15pm - 4.03 -- Erotic Couplings
This submission is written in first person and comes from a series I posted that covers a 24 Hour fantasy between two people who met online. Both desired to share 24 hours with the their online lover without there being any repercussions to the people they love. After the full circle is complete the story ends -- or does it. The reader gets to decide.
The hours between 2pm and 5:15pm are spent with the narrator of the story reminiscing over what her and her lover had done up to that point. The true story begins when they leave for an afternoon matinee at a local theater. Inside the matinee the narrator begins to pleasure her partner with her mouth and breasts.
The descriptions are full of erotic words that make my pulse race even now -- and I'm the one that wrote it! With that said, there are too many "My" this and "My" that, which can be distracting. If I were to rewrite this, the scenery wouldn't change, but the words would flow more consistently. I think I, like many new writers sometimes do, tended to write this story in fragmented sentences, but I feel I've improved greatly since August 2005 (3 months after beginning my writing journey on Lit.)
5. Business Begins: Jill's Turn - 4.03 -- Non-consent/Reluctance
The second installment of the series Business Begins takes the reader through another chapter of the conditioning of Katie, a young girl who was caught shoplifting. Jill plays the biggest role in this story concerning Katie. Jill is Master Adam's pet and she has been given Katie to "play with". The story is not a romance, and not a soft read. Katie doesn't want to be there, and has no true desire to participate in the acts. She does only because she is blackmailed.
I reread this, looking for the reasoning behind the low score. I think it has to do with the category more than anything else. The scene is harsh, but it isn't over the top nasty. Jill isn't a kind Mistress, and Adam is a manipulative Master, not a caring one. The idea though is that this girl -- Katie -- she's a pawn in a bigger game and she's being "broken in" for a more profitable reason than either Jill or Katie realize.
If I rewrote this story, it would be strictly to put even more erotic details into the print, as well as to fix the grammar errors that occur when a person starts that first journey into writing.
4. Enchanted Twelve: Cecilia 01 - 4.0 -- Chain story
A chain story is a story that is written by 3 or more authors here on Lit. and this particular one was probably the most difficult to coordinate because of the number of writers, and the number of characters.
Cecilia is the youngest of 12 Princesses, who are trapped between two worlds. During the day their lives consist of "normal" Princess duties. At night they spend hours frolicking in a world that is full of wonder and magic. When they wake up, the sisters don't recall what they were doing the night before, but realize their gowns are soiled and the soles of their shoes worn through. Yes, this is a twisted spin on the fairy tale: The Twelve Dancing Princesses.
In this segment, Cecilia learns that Prince Cassius, the man she adores, has met with the Angora, the witch of Oarthland. He is hoping to strike a bargain with her, that would give him access to Westingfield. Westingfield is where Cecilia resides during the day. She is concerned and frets over the price the Prince may have to pay in order to get his wish to come true.
I believe the score for this story is low because it is a short and simple story. It is more of an introduction to the character rather than an erotic piece, or detailed adventure. It seems well written, though brief, which may have turned some folks off.
If someone does decided to read the Enchanted Twelve chain story, I suggest you do so by going to this link: http://forum.literotica.com/showpost.php?p=24649288&postcount=1 and following the order the stories are placed in. It is much easier to comprehend the complex web of mystery, magic, and mayhem.
3. Something About Nothing - 3.94 -- Celebrities
The Celebrities category is not my favorite. Probably because I really don't fantasize about celebrities. True there are some good looking ones out there, but they are very much "unreachable"; to fantasize about them seems pointless -- but that's my opinion. I have written one where I do place myself in the arms of a popular female actress, but it really isn't something I fantasize about.
With this story I wrote about the characters of Seinfeld and if you can make it past the introduction of a "surprise" relationship, then you will find a masturbation story revolving around Elaine.
I'm not going to even try and defend the score on this story. It is just awful. The scene is rushed, and the errors many. The word "cunt" is over used and it's a word that doesn't even feel right for some reason. I think I will re-write this story, not as an edit, but as a new submission -- yes, it's just that bad! Let's move on...
2. Stay-at-home Mom Goes Out - 3.62 -- Non-erotic
This is a silly, ridiculous story and if you don't mind the "rushed" feeling, you really should give it a try. The submission is written in first person and covers what happens when a stay-at-home mom snaps. She's had enough and has decided that various people in her community are against her. She rushes around planning out how to catch certain individuals in lewd and immoral acts. Her plans go awry throughout the course of the day.
It probably scores low because it is non-erotic and just funny. There is no sex, not even a hint. The opening author's note warns the reader that the story is jumbled and fragmented sentences take the reader on a fast-paced ride. If you have a couple minutes to spare and want to look into the mind of a paranoid mom who lives her life in the safety of her home, take a gander at this low scoring read.
--- And the number one worst scoring story for Red is... ---
1. A Few Lamps From His Collection - 3.59 -- Illustrated
My only illustrated story for Lit. is one that is a heart-warming tale about a mother who has inherited her father's oil lamp collection. She shares stories with her daughter about each one. The photos are non-erotic, the story is as well. The pictures are ones that I took of my father's oil lamp collection. He has many -- too many in my opinion -- but all are unique. I chose the ones I thought that would make the best stories. With the proper placement in and around my father's home I was able to take some really nice photos.
The story is the lowest and most viewed submission I have. It is the most viewed, in my opinion, because folks are looking for the illustrated aspect of erotica. It is the lowest scored, in my opinion, because it has no eroticism in it.
Even with those things going against it, I still have readers who will send me feedback telling me how much they enjoyed the soft emotional connection and the memories of a daughter. They also share with me their own memories of collections inherited from loved ones. If you're browsing my story page, looking for something, but not sure what, this is a nice-peaceful write that makes a person sigh and reflect at the end.
--- * ---
So that's it, those are my lowest scoring stories. It was fun to go back through and read the older pieces and compare them to the newer ones. The scores may be low, but my writing has improved quite a bit. Each one, even the ones that need rewritten, still make me sit back and think "I did that!" Good or bad, they are my stories and I am happy to share them with you. I may not always get a coveted red "H" for my submissions, but that's okay. I'm very glad there is someone around to share my work with. | <urn:uuid:833cf777-6e1f-4533-a400-17dc7e755929> | CC-MAIN-2015-27 | https://www.literotica.com/s/the-worst-of-red | 2015-06-30T08:40:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-27/segments/1435375091925.14/warc/CC-MAIN-20150627031811-00132-ip-10-179-60-89.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.976867 | 2,845 | [

Bears and 'Boys step into Monday Night Spotlight
Two teams with a penchant for laying eggs on occasion meet when the 2-1 Dallas Cowboys host the 2-1 Chicago Bears in this week's Monday Night Football matchup (8:30 pm ET, ESPN).
Chicago opened its season with a 41-21 victory over the Indianapolis Colts at Soldier Field, and looked pretty good in doing so. After a slow start QB Jay Cutler eventually threw for 333 yards and two scores and RBs Matt Forte and Michael Bush combined to rush for 122 yards.
But four days later the Bears looked bad in losing at Green Bay 23-10, as Cutler got sacked seven times and threw four interceptions.
Chicago then got back above .500 with a 23-6 win over St. Louis last week. But one of the Bears' scores came on an interception return, and while they rushed for 103 yards it took 34 attempts to do it. (And 21 of those yards came on one scramble by Cutler.)
Chicago covered the spread as 10-point favorites over Indy, lost as 5-point dogs vs. the Packers and covered as 7-point faves vs. the Rams.
Dallas, meanwhile, opened this season with an impressive 24-17 win over the Giants in New Jersey. The Cowboys got 131 yards rushing from DeMarco Murray and held New York to 269 total yards - a big chunk of that while in 'prevent' mode late in the game.
But ten days later Dallas put on a dud of a performance at Seattle, losing 27-7, getting a punt blocked for a score and garnering just 49 yards on the ground.
Last week the Cowboys climbed above .500 with a 16-10 victory at home over Tampa Bay. Dallas squandered chances to put that game away, settling for three very short field goals, and for the game the Cowboys could only produce 38 yards rushing. But the Dallas defense stuffed the Bucs to the tune of 166 total yards of offense.
The Cowboys beat the Giants outright as 3-point underdogs, lost outright as 3-point favorites vs. the Seahawks, and failed to cover as 9-point chalk vs. Tampa.
The main injury news concerning Monday night's game is the uncertain status of Forte, who's missed recent action with a sprained ankle. His availability looks like a game-time decision.
As of Monday morning most NFL betting outlets tracked by OddsShark.com were listing Dallas at -3.5, with an OVER/UNDER of 42.
These two teams are a combined 1-5 on the OVER/UNDERS this season, as these two defense have combined to allow an average of 15 PPG. | <urn:uuid:d3f9dede-e2cd-47c0-b83a-2caba92f2639> | CC-MAIN-2015-27 | http://matchups.nbcsports.msnbc.com/content/bears-and-boys-step-monday-night-spotlight | 2015-07-04T19:06:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-27/segments/1435375096870.66/warc/CC-MAIN-20150627031816-00012-ip-10-179-60-89.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.95917 | 554 | [

"Not so good experience"
5th December 2012, Sub231, Kolkata (Calcutta), India
The hotel is not at all suitable to be called "IBIS". Right from quality of food, cleanliness of rooms, and attitude of reception. Everything is below par, and will keep you wondering if you are really in an IBIS.Avoid this hotel, nearby you have Best Western, at almost same tariff, hope that will be better.

So you can now have a stable Java 7 experience with the latest developer preview build and NetBeans 7.0 Beta 2. There is a variety of instructions to support various platforms and so I apologise for the blog post linkages but for those who are interested you can install the latest JDK 7 build and get it running with Netbeans. I haven't run across any bugs yet and am already enjoying splitting up my large numbers with the _ character
I've made some RFE's at Jetbrains (for IntelliJ) and they've already implemented some (such as binary integral literals, underscores in numeric literals and the diamond operator). They are still working on multicatch/Automatic Resource Management/safe re-throw.

Steve Ballmer’s retirement may have been more sudden and a lot less smooth than Microsoft suggested when it made the announcement on Friday.
A number of sources told the tech news site that the timeline for Ballmer’s departure had been bumped up dramatically, first by him and then by the nine-member board in charge of finding his successor after all agreed that it would be best if he left sooner rather than later.
Indeed, Ballmer had previously said that he would only retire once the last of his children left high school. As AllThingD’s Ina Fried notes, that would have seen him hang his boots up around 2017.
It seems however that a number of issues on the immediate horizon, including a proxy fight, continuing business declines and general perception around Ballmer’s leadership, saw his retirement accelerated.
Indeed, Ballmer alludes to the fact that he had not intended to leave so early in the retirement letter he sent to Microsoft staff following the announcement:
“My original thoughts on timing would have had my retirement happen in the middle of our transformation to a devices and services company focused on empowering customers in the activities they value most.”
Compounding the sense that Ballmer’s decision to depart had been a long time coming was Gates’ statement on the matter, which was devoid of any sense of celebration around Ballmer’s legacy:
“As a member of the succession planning committee, I’ll work closely with the other members of the board to identify a great new CEO,” said Gates. “We’re fortunate to have Steve in his role until the new CEO assumes these duties.”
It should be noted however that this is likely not an indication of any acrimony between the two but rather a preventative measure put in place to keep Ballmer from becoming a lame duck for the remainder of his tenure. Nonetheless, Gates has always been a key supporter of Ballmer’s and the fact that all parties agreed that it was time for him to go suggests that the company’s top brass are in uniform agreement about the need for change.
Markets meanwhile reacted positively to the announcement, with Microsoft stock jumping more than seven percent in its wake. | <urn:uuid:04dd591d-7171-487c-a150-a90925dc8bb9> | CC-MAIN-2015-27 | http://memeburn.com/2013/08/ballmer-departure-may-have-been-more-sudden-than-microsoft-let-on/ | 2015-07-06T17:51:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-27/segments/1435375098685.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20150627031818-00262-ip-10-179-60-89.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.985348 | 466 | [

WARWICK, RHODE ISLAND — For Luke Keough (Keough Cyclocross), Justin Lindine (Joe’s Garage-BikeReg.com), and the third place rider in the Shimano Series’, Dylan McNicholas (Cannondale-CyclocrossWorld), NBX in Warwick, Rhode Island, was to be a clash of the cyclocross titans of New England. On the line? The $5,000 prize money awarded to the series’ leader at the end of the weekend. The point spread? Going into the weekend, Lindine and Keough were separated by a mere three points, with Keough narrowly holding the lead. That lead increased substantially today.
The day before the race, Cyclocross Magazine caught up with both Luke Keough and Justin Lindine in order to hear their thoughts surrounding the weekend. Keough, who had just gotten in from training when we snagged him, told us “travel back from Europe [where he raced at the Koksijde World Cup last weekend] is always hard on the system. We will see how it goes but I definitely still feel the jet lag and that will be a big factor this weekend.”
Lindine told us, “I’m psyched about it. It’s a different position than I was in last year where I came into it and lost it at this race. Now, the pressure’s on Luke. I like the course, so I’m excited but I don’t feel like I have a ton to lose.”
Justin Lindine has been having the season of his life, snatching up UCI wins like they’re going out of business, and even picking up a C1 win at Providence. He’s talked a lot to us in the past about his struggles with his sprint, something Keough excels in, and the two being neck-and-neck pit two very different racing styles against each other. While Lindine started the season incredibly strong, Luke Keough has been having a fantastic second part of the season, taking both days of Cycle-Smart International nearly a month ago. The two have battled before: both of the racers made it onto the podium for Day Two of Providence, though Lindine took the win while Keough sprinted to a second place finish. And of course, no one can eliminate Dylan McNicholas from the equation entirely: he’s in third place in the series, after a double win at Bay State last weekend, and is still a legitimate contender for the series’ title.
Beyond Keough and Lindine, it was a star-studded field with six-time Swiss National Champion Christian Heule and his Cannondale-cyclocrossworld.com teammate Jamey Driscoll joining the pinnacle of New England racing.
However, it was Luke Keough who took the win, not the international talent. In a sprint finish, Keough passed Heule by a mere wheel length at the line. The two were trailed by surprise rider of the weekend, Jamey Driscoll, followed by Cannondale-CylocrossWorld teammate Dylan McNicholas in fourth. Jerome Townsend (SmartStop-Mock Orange), who led for half of the last lap, took the fifth spot, followed by Lindine.
The racing was furious from the gun, with Dylan McNicholas (cyclocrossworld.com) taking the holeshot and leading the field into the sand. For the first few laps, despite the intense pace, the front group contained twelve racers with leadership switching between McNicholas, Mike Garrigan (Lapierre Canada), Shawn Milne (ECV-Mazda) and the duo from Cannondale-Cyclocrossworld.com. Notably, Keough, while rarely on the front, was never behind third wheel and was quick to cover all moves.
The clip slowly began to shed racers as Driscoll turned on his big diesel engine. The group was eventually trimmed to seven with Driscoll at the front, followed by Heule, Keough, McNicholas, Lindine and SmartStop-MOB teammates Jerome Townsend and Adam Myerson. While Myerson, McNicholas and Lindine were put into difficulty, each demonstrated his grit and determination by coming back to the lead. A split came with four to go as Heule, Driscoll and Keough went off the front, forcing the group of four to chase.
At two to go, thanks to some chess playing at the front, the gap had come down and it came back together. With seven racers evenly matched, this looked likely to come to a sprint. On the final half of a lap, Heule attacked out of the sandpit and Keough dug incredibly deep to stay with him. McNicholas, slightly gapped, turned himself inside out and made contact with Driscoll behind him.
On the final 180-degree turn onto the pavement, Heule was at the front with Driscoll second and looked ready to pick up his second Shimano Series victory of the season. Keough, dug deep into his reserves and uncorked one of the finest sprints we’ve seen all season and came around Heule for the most prestigious victory of his young career. Heule held on for second ahead of Driscoll. McNicholas came across the line fourth. Townsend picked up fifth ahead of Lindine with Myerson seventh.
With only one day of racing left in the Shimano New England Professional Cyclocross Series, we’re bound to see another race as exciting as today. The series winners will be crowned Sunday.

Lauren Bacall, a legendary actress who got her start back in 1944 and worked for six decades in cinema, has passed away.
She was 89 years old.
Bacall’s death was confirmed by the Humphrey Bogart Estate via Facebook.
"With deep sorrow for the magnitude of our loss, yet with great gratitude for her amazing life, we confirm the passing of Lauren Bacall," read the online message posted this evening.
Bacall appeared in the Harper's Bazaar cover when she was 19 and was signed by Warner Bros. in 1943.
She appeared in a Hemingway novel adaption (To Have and Have Not) in 1944 and married Humphrey Bogart a year later.
She and the famous actor were parents to a son (Stephen) and a daughter (Leslie), though Bogat died in 1957.
Bacall admittedly had an affair with Frank Sinatra and also had a son with Jason Robards, her husband of 12 years.
At the age of 72, Bacall was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for playing the mother of Barbra Streisand's character in The Mirror Has Two Faces.
In 2010, she received a Life Achievement Award from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences.
Most recently, Bacall appeared on an episode of Family Guy as a friend of Peter's mom, named Evelyn.
The long-time star's passing comes on the heels of Robin Williams committing suicide. | <urn:uuid:e351cc11-5806-472c-942a-2f3aecff5cc4> | CC-MAIN-2015-27 | http://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/2014/08/lauren-bacall-dies-legendary-actress-was-89/ | 2015-07-06T17:58:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-27/segments/1435375098685.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20150627031818-00262-ip-10-179-60-89.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.979784 | 302 | [

ALBANY, Ga. -- Late Sunday U.S. Rep. Sanford Bishop, D-Albany, announced new funding for two local projects attached to an appropriations bill.
The Fiscal Year 2011 Transportation, Housing and Urban Development Appropriations bill (H.R. 5850) provides $500,000 for apron and various improvements to the Southwest Georgia Regional Airport and $450,000 for the North Bypass in Leesburg.
The funding, which passed the House 251-167, still must pass the Senate, but it was welcome news to Lee County and Albany-Dougherty Aviation Commission officials.
Lee County Commission Chairman Ed Duffy and outgoing Lee County Administrator Alan Ours had traveled to Washington in July of last year to meet with Bishop and U.S. Sens. Johnny Isakson and Saxby Chambliss to plead their case for funding.
"We went up there with three projects, and they asked us what our No. 1 priority was," Duffy recalled. "We told them it was the North Leesburg Bypass. We run 90 school buses a day into Leesburg, and to me the bypass is a vital safety issue for our children.
"We are grateful to Congressman Bishop for his support and assistance."
Right-of-way purchases for the bypass will begin in 2010.
Aviation Commission Chairman Dr. Bill Mayher was also thrilled with the funding, which will go toward apron and ramp work at the airport.
"This funding is extremely important to the airport," Mayher said. "We're about to build a new terminal. The one we have is in terrible shape; the roof leaks and the air conditioning is breaking down.
"The ramp is in terrible shape, and the apron needs to be extended. We can't build a new terminal without these site improvements being made. And we depend on federal funds to do it."
Mike Keown, who is the Republican nominee for Bishop's District 2 House seat, acknowledged the projects needed to be funded, but he questioned the timing of the announcement.
"It's funny that during an election year the congressman starts handing out checks," Keown campaign spokesman Jay Walker said. "But what people need to realize is that Bishop and the Obama administration are piling $400,000 of debt on every man, woman and child in south Georgia.
"Mike Keown will fight hard for south Georgia's share of federal money but will not support out-of-state earmarks that may or may not create jobs."
The wild card in final approval of the funding is the U.S. Senate, which must also pass the bill.
It is unclear what the Senate will do with the appropriations bills this year. No timeline has been set for the Senate to consider its version of the Transportation, Housing and Urban Development Appropriations bill.
Because no one is certain what form this bill will come to the Senate floor, neither senator has yet to make a decision on how he plans to vote.
Chambliss, however, did issue the following statement: "I understand the importance of funding critical infrastructure projects for communities in Georgia, including the Southwest Georgia Regional Airport and state Route 133, which I support. They are presently going through the appropriations process, and I hope they are included in the final version of the Transportation, Housing and Urban Development Appropriations bill.
"While I remain supportive of meritorious transportation projects in Georgia, I will continue to work to reduce overall congressional spending to ensure fiscal sanity is restored." | <urn:uuid:d062caa3-2d0e-4c4b-82b9-aed17a367e73> | CC-MAIN-2015-27 | http://www.albanyherald.com/news/2010/aug/03/officials-grateful-for-airport-bypass-funding/?news | 2015-06-30T15:45:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-27/segments/1435375093974.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20150627031813-00202-ip-10-179-60-89.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.965701 | 718 | [

Life Stages Coming Later, Panelist Says
Twenty-year-olds are the new adolescents, while Generation-Xers are postponing having children and the midlife crisis now strikes at age 50, not 40. Middle age occurs a little later, Gold Watch retirements -- people retiring and switching careers -- are increasing, and the golden years are later.
"Age spans are longer [too]," Hinman told the audience.
Group leader for InfoBase products at Acxiom in Little Rock, AR, Hinman said shared experiences equate to shared values and shared behavior.
His co-panelist, Ken Wollenberg, executive vice president and generation manager for SIMS at New York market researcher Simmons, said a generational gap exists that defies traditional marketing approaches.
Consider the various labels marketers typically slap on generations. The depleting World War II generation largely was born in the teens, followed by the silent group, Vietnam babies, baby boomers, generations X and Y and finally, the millennials -- those conceived in the 1970s and early '80s.
But marketing today is much more complicated than just applied by age, Wollenberg said.
"It's more than just knowing the name of a generation," he said. "It's about trying to understand their behavior."
Marketers should understand each generation's purchase behavior, media exposure, product consumption and opinions and attitudes. They should get a sense of differences that exist.
Consumers ages 18-29 -- millennials, in other words -- like the thrill of shopping and are approval-seeking in their choices. Generation-Xers prefer browsing and going online. Baby boomers shop by need, check the labels and buy brands. Those older than 60 are the most brand loyal, preferring goods made in the United States.
In food, millennials like fast food, as do Generation-Xers. But baby boomers tend to prepare food for themselves, and the oldest lot are inclined to fine dining.
Their politics, too, differ. As consumers age, they tend to become more conservative.
But in a twist, Generation-Xers are also defying yet another convention of one generation improving on the other.
According to fellow panelist and Direct magazine senior writer Richard Levey, this is the first generation where doing better than the parents is not a given. Competitive pressures of today's economy doubtless are to blame.
Also, baby boomers and Generation-Yers are showing signs of behavior not typically characteristic of them, the 36-year-old Levey said.
"My sandbox is getting increasingly crowded by these two generations," he said. | <urn:uuid:6ca6380a-85a4-41d3-a05e-21d78342cb23> | CC-MAIN-2015-27 | http://www.dmnews.com/multichannel-marketing/life-stages-coming-later-panelist-says/article/83740/ | 2015-06-30T14:32:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-27/segments/1435375093974.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20150627031813-00202-ip-10-179-60-89.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.949792 | 535 | [

Lt. General Mike Flynn, Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency has resigned his position out of frustration with the military-industrial-political complex. It’s rare for me to like anything coming out the mouth of any military officer above the rank of major. Major is the rank where officers no longer directly command troops and when the legendary (and semi-fictional) frontal lobotomy is administered. Few presidents, fewer congressmen and no one at the Pentagon reward officers or NCOs for telling truth to power. Most officers that do are weeded out at the majors’ promotion boards.
What’s amazing is that Lt. Gen. Flynn wasn’t “retired” earlier for his scathing article in the January 2010 Center for New American Security entitled “Fixing Intel: A Blueprint for Making Intelligence Relevant in Afghanistan.” In it he took the intelligence community to task for lacking an understanding of the human-socio context of the battlefield in Afghanistan. Perhaps he wasn’t called on the carpet because everyone in the army knows what bad shape army intelligence is in. The “intelligence community” he referred to is right here at Ft. Huachuca. The U.S. Army Intelligence Center & School responded with thundering silence at General Flynn’s roasting. Flynn hit the bulls-eye.
The army’s intel “School of Excellence” responded feebly by hiring native Arab cultural experts and sending out “cultural awareness” lecturers that paint a rosy picture of “if we only understood them they would be nice to us.” Cultural awareness as currently constituted falls far short of General Flynn’s concept.
My attempts to inculcate several effective intel analysis processes mirroring Flynn’s hopes were met with swift suppression. For years I tried unsuccessfully to implement a Special Forces Area Study format to teach officer and enlisted analysts how to assimilate the kind of cultural information and apply it to the tactical situation. Another very effective, off-the-shelf database called Palantir was being used by Marines in Afghanistan at the height of the war. When I suggested army intelligence use it I was told point blank Palantir was “not an approved” (meaning expensive contractor devised) program and to “stay in my lane.” Intel analysis was my lane. I taught intel analysis to captains, warrant officers and enlisted at Ft. Huachuca. Another effective analysis tool devised by the State Department was also being used as a means of identifying, controlling (eliminating redundancy) and measuring the effectiveness of civic action projects in each Afghan province. This was at the height of the “hearts and minds” strategy. On an unclassified intel forum I suggested this process was good enough to replace the antiquated army IPB process. I quickly received a terse statement from Army G-2 at the Pentagon (i.e. inside the beltway) that ____ “is not an approved program and will not replace IPB.” In reply, another member of the forum wrote from Afghanistan “Those who use it succeed. Those who don’t use it fail.” The epitome of army intelligence inertia occurred during a discussion with a contract employee assigned to a leadership position on the 35F committee. I was urging he implement Chapter 2 (Intelligence Support) of Field Manual 3-24 “Counterinsurgency” into the curriculum. He argued against it for over an hour. As he walked out the door he admitted he had never read it. This was the manual Generals Petraeus and Mattis had co-wrote as a solution to winning in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Flynn was criticized for “resisting the old guard.” That’s bureaucratic code for making the DIA more efficient and effective – anathema to any organization inside the beltway. I’ve been to the DIA. It’s redundant with the CIA. The CIA should be the nexus for all foreign intelligence and the FBI for domestic. If the “wall” that allowed 9/11 to happen is to ever be torn down the intelligence community needs to be flatter and thinner.
If presidents and pols had understood Flynn’s contemporary environment in Iraq and Afghanistan like Bush ’41 the U.S. would not have invaded either country. Daddy Bush didn’t invade Iraq because “it was a bitterly divided country”. He understood the importance of the contemporary environment -not because he had been a cubicle-confined CIA analyst looking at one specific area of the earth through a straw – but because he had actually been to war. No president since has known this. Bush the Cheerleader didn’t ask dad for advice before using a sledge hammer when a scalpel was called for.
Stephen D. Kaplan who wrote the prescient “Balkan Ghosts” is the type of analyst Gen. Flynn is looking for. Special Forces has been doing just that for many decades. It’s taught at the 18F Operations and Intelligence Course at the John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center, Ft. Bragg, N.C.
In the final analysis Lt. General Mike Flynn was another casualty to the idea that one person can make a difference. | <urn:uuid:36b32bf6-46b4-45b2-ac35-639217581745> | CC-MAIN-2015-27 | http://www.ligonclanlaw.com/2014/05/06/dia-director-resigns/ | 2015-06-30T14:26:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-27/segments/1435375093974.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20150627031813-00202-ip-10-179-60-89.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.961731 | 1,101 | [

A pet peeve of mine has become anyone who recommends the Fantasmic! Dinner Package as a good option because in my opinion, it’s really not worth it. In general, I like the dinner packages Disney offers such as the Candlelight Dinner Package at Epcot, which is essential to getting a seat for a showing of Candlelight because of the long lines that can develop and having that peace of mind really helps. However, the Fantasmic! Dinner Package really doesn’t make me feel like it’s worth it and I’ll clue you in as to why it’s really not a great deal.
To begin with, the Fantasmic! Dinner Package is only available at the Hollywood Brown Derby, Mama Melrose’s and Hollywood & Vine restaurants, omitting the Sci-Fi Dine-In and 50’s Primetime. While it’s no secret that there’s no love lost by not eating at the Sci-Fi, I don’t understand why these two restaurants aren’t part of the package. I suspect it has to do with capacity but more on that later. To eat at the Hollywood Brown Derby on the Fantasmic! Dinner Package as of April 1, 2007, will run you $43.99 for an adult ($11.99 for kids) and tax and gratuity on top of that. That is an expensive dinner and the Brown Derby does have a limited menu. The best value is Hollywood & Vine which runs for $23.99 per adult (which is the regular price for the buffet even if you were not on the Fantasmic! Dinner Package) and that offers a buffet. Hollwood and Vine aside, when it comes to these Dinner Packages, typically you need to order the more expensive items on the menu to get your moneys worth, which isn’t always possible. In addition, if you’ve got the invaluable Disney Dining Experience card, you can’t use it on the Fantasmic! Dinner Package.
By far the biggest and greatest complaint I have regarding the Fantasmic! Dinner Package is the seating you get. You must arrive 30-45 minutes before show time to get your reserved seat, however, the seat you get is in the Witch section of the theater, which for those who do not know, is at the extreme end of the right side of the theater. This has two major flaws. First, during the princess scene of Fantasmic!, the music you hear does not line up with what you see in front of you. So while the Beauty and the Beast float is going by, you’ll hear the music to The Little Mermaid. Second, by sitting over there, you’ll have a glimpse of what is going on backstage and will see floats before they arrive on the moat and that is distracting and takes away from the experience of the show.
Another problem is by getting the Fantasmic! Dinner Package, you get a special little entrance near the front of the park to the theater which saves you a great deal of walking and delivers you right to your especially reserved section. But when the show ends, you have to move with the massive crowd out the main exit so no advantage there.
The real question is what are you really saving? You still need to show up at least 30 minutes before Fantasmic! starts, so it’s not like you can walk in 5 minutes before show time and get a seat. And if you show up closer to the 45 minute time frame, you will find much better seats in the unreserved section of the theater. And during slower times of the year, the reserved section makes little sense because you will definitely be able to get good seats on your own. Because you still have to show up early and wait a considerable amount of time in your seats, it’s not a great value at all.
So you may be asking what the solution is. Easy: Eat wherever you like for dinner (and order as little or as much food as you need), and depending on the time of year arrive 30-40 minutes before show time during slow season and 60-75 minutes before show time during the peak season (See a recent article about when to go to Fantasmic). Now if those times seem like a long time to wait for the show, keep in mind if you were on the Fantasmic! Dinner Package, you would still need to show up 30-45 minutes beforehand so even during peak season, it’s only about 30 more minutes or so of waiting and after a long day in the park, who wouldn’t enjoy some time to just sit and rest? Also, be sure to keep in mind that if there is more than one showing of Fantasmic! the night you’re at the Studios, always see the last show of the night. The Fantasmic! Dinner Package isn't so much terrible as it is unnecessary and with a little planning, you can have more flexibility and a better experience.

Over the past few months we have listened or read opinions in favor of and against Measure A which would give the City of Auburn a charter or mini-constitution for the conduct of municipal business. Those arguing against a yes vote have tried to raise all kinds of doubt about what might happen to our city if the charter is adopted. By trying to compare the voters of Auburn with those in Bell and Vernon they are suggesting the voters of Auburn aren’t capable of keeping an eye on what the city council is doing. In my opinion this attempt to demean the voters of Auburn will not work.
Read Ryan Hickey's position against Measure A here.
When the issue of a charter first came up almost two years ago I had some initial doubts about the need and advantages of a charter, but I voted to put it on the ballot for you to decide. While the method of writing the draft charter was of some concern to me I believe it was fully vetted by both those in the community and those from outside the community. When the city attorney was asked to develop both pros and cons about a city charter he did just that, but the forces against the charter only seem to focus on the cons of the argument.
What do the most significant items in the charter offer you? (1) Greater control over local affairs and better protection from lawmakers in Sacramento which is dominated by big city legislators. (2) Possible significant savings in local public works projects. (3) Continued use of local volunteers working to improve the quality of life in our city without having to pay them wages.
Now comes word that another city about the size of Auburn is considering a charter for future adoption. According to the Coast News, a local paper in San Luis Obispo County, the City of Grover Beach city council has voted to move forward with plans to become a charter city. Grover Beach has about the same population as Auburn and heavily relies on tourism. The Grover Beach city manager has stated, in part, that the charter “will be tailored to the specific needs of the city itself and to cover the municipal affairs that it wishes to cover while leaving the remainder of the areas to state oversight” much as Auburn’s proposed charter will do.
On a historical note, the City of Auburn has been incorporated twice, first in 1860, but was disincorporated in 1868 in a dispute over some bonds the city had purchased to support railroad construction. Our current incorporation began in 1888 and we will be celebrating 125 years of incorporation in 2013. I urge you to vote yes on Measure A this June 5th. I make this promise to you. If the “doom and gloom” predictions made by the opponents of Measure A become fact, I will lead the charge to repeal the city charter and revert back to a general law city.

Smell the flowers - be aware of the bees - enjoy the rain that waters these.
I also thought this was just lovely .. and quite affordable I might add! Twas the Night Before Christmas has always been my absolute favorite Christmas story. And if no one knows - it was written by a father who worked at a newspaper house long ago. He was working late on Christmas eve, while his son waited up for him at home by the fire. He wrote this story for the child he loved so dearly, on the night before Christmas. A father to a son. Just lovely, I say. And the narrator, the British accent, all we wonderful too!
My son had to do this poem for the Christmas pageant, and having this recording really help him. He took on the british accent and pick up all the intonations of the actor in the mp3. It was truely wonderful and all the parents and the teacher at the school were calling him a genius and a true star. So thank you audible for producing this one. I don't know who gave this less than a five but they are crazy.
My niece and nephew enjoyed listening to this. Thankful to Audible. They should come up with more kids books that are motivating and inspiring.
NO! There is no horrible music in the print version
The bad music....
He was great, it was the music I didn't like

Sony // 2008 // 112 Minutes // Unrated
Reviewed by Judge Christopher Kulik (Retired) // January 19th, 2009
Put this in your pipe and smoke it!
Whether we like it or not, the stoner comedy has become a genre. Over 30 years ago, Up In Smoke lit up the joint and since then it has been burned to death in such unfunny mishmashes as Half-Baked, How High, and Harold And Kumar Go To White Castle. If you've seen one stoner movie, you've seen them all. Once you see a character give an unusual, high-larious reaction to weed, that's the one you will remember. For me, it was Poindexter's ten-second delay in Revenge Of The Nerds.
The latest offering of cinematic reefer madness is Pineapple Express. A modest success in theaters (although I'm willing to bet the concessions made bigger profits than the studio...there's a first!), Sony delivers the film in several versions, with the unrated standard edition up for scrutiny. Is the film worth a toke, or is it just another roach to be flung out the window?
Slacker Dale Denton (Seth Rogen, Knocked Up) appears to be living the high life. Sure, he may hate his job, but he's got a hot, underage girlfriend and some bodacious weed being supplied by his mellow, superdude dealer Saul Silver (James Franco, the Spider-Man trilogy). However, when Dale witnesses a murder perpetuated by violent thug Ted Jones (Gary Cole, Office Space) after burning some of the title herb, he takes it on the run with Saul. Along the way, they must deal with shady supplier Red (Danny McBride, Tropic Thunder), two of Jones's henchmen, and a crooked cop named Carol (Rosie Perez, It Could Happen To You).
I saw Pineapple Express in the theater. In a few words, I was amused but only sometimes got into the crazy antics on display in this descent into pot and paranoia. However, it was light years better than previous stoner movies, with gleeful performances by its eclectic cast and more than enough memorable mayhem on display. Pineapple Express is surely not without laughs, and screenwriters Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg ensure you will have a good, if not great, time.
In recent years, Judd Apatow has become the king of comedy. With Pineapple Express, he ensures the film will not make the same mistake as its dopey cousins. Apatow's much smarter than Tamra Davis and Danny Leiner, in the way he creates likable characters and crafting/complicating a story which moves along at a speedy pace, albeit with a few hiccups. Plus, he found a dream team with anti-hero Rogen, dealer Franco, and double-crosser McBride, who all seem to be having a blast playing these baked buddies with brains to fry. The supporting cast is terrific as well, with Perez given her best role in years, Cole hilariously profane in his dirty dealings, and you have Ed Begley, Jr. -- you can never go wrong with him.
Presented in 2.40:1 Anamorphic widescreen, Sony has again delivered a fine DVD. The picture isn't spectacular, mind you, but Rogen's maize jacket and Franco's shark shirt (a tip of the hat to John Dunn's fun costumes) come through clear as you would hope amid all the smoke. Colors are fairly bright and contrast is reasonably sharp, with some instances of grain keeping it from perfection. Things are equally kosher on the audio side, with the 5.1 tracks in English and French coming through with flying colors. Graeme Revill's infectious score is given a respectful boost in all speakers. English and French subtitles are provided as well.
Like the other DVD editions, this one boasts two cuts: The theatrical (clocking in at 112 minutes) and the Unrated (with five additional minutes). The extra footage doesn't have much buzz and it's a mystery as to why three alternate scenes are available in the bonus content when they could have been easily added as well. As for the commentary, it's a reasonably entertaining affair which only scratches the surface of the film's production, in lieu of a lot of goofing around. All of the film's principal stars, producers, and director are on hand to chat. Thankfully, they avoid overlapping each other as much as possible.
So why does Pineapple Express stop short of being the alpha and omega of stoner comedies? The film switches back and forth, often without warning, between comedy and action. This harsh violence simply doesn't mix well with cannabis comedy, resulting in an uneven adventure which is very hit-and-miss. Getting an ashtray thrown in the face is one thing, but not getting paralyzed after getting smashed by a door and falling on a kitchen sink, ripping it off the wall in the process, was way too much to accept. Of course, it may be part of some bibbity-bobbity-boo hallucination, with all these experiences happening in the character's heads. However, even after viewing it from the alternative perspective, Pineapple Express still fumbles in a blaze of blunts.
Regardless of how you interpret the plot aesthetics, even Cheech & Chong
did right by keeping their pot-fueled flicks under 90 minutes long. Pineapple
Express is overly extended by at least a half-hour, with an entire subplot
about Dale's high school girlfriend (Amber Heard, Alpha Dog) both wanton
and worthless. Every single time Dale questioned his love for her and proclaimed
how much he missed her, it made me scream, "Get on with it!" Add to that a
pointless prologue set in 1937 (although it was great to see the old
Columbia logo from the '60s), and a gun-toting climax which is all flash and no
spontaneity, and you have a picture which tokes way too much on excess. The
hilarious breakfast scene at the end is what saves the film, but why take nearly
two hours to get there?
I still recommend Pineapple Express for the fact it's one of the better stoner movies released since the premiere of the genre's granddaddy, Up In Smoke. It could have been a lot worse. Jim Bruer could have shown up somewhere along the way.
The film and its star trio are found not guilty, with Sony free to go thanks
to a smokin' DVD presentation.

The Vase Head or Pot Head gals or whatever you want to call them, were quite the thing when a magazine article came out some time ago. I figured I would have some fun and make a Ms. Claus!
I've used Spellbinder dies for the scalloped and plain circles, Punch Bunch punches for the head, hat, hair, lips and holly. The embossing folders are Cuttlebug and Stampin' Up! and the word stamp is Hero Arts. I've used some Stickles and white gel pen plus some pearls, glitter and red beads. Glasses were made by wrapping wire around a pencil. | <urn:uuid:5332ed18-18f5-4b52-ac3b-8837d618cb1e> | CC-MAIN-2015-27 | http://pjsdesigns.blogspot.com/2011/11/funky-ms-claus.html?showComment=1322410954253 | 2015-07-05T00:09:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-27/segments/1435375097038.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20150627031817-00082-ip-10-179-60-89.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.958876 | 133 | [

By Julia Williams
It’s always fun to hear how people picked the name they gave their pet. For starters, there are plenty of great stories about how a pet got their name. There are numerous tales of the inspiration behind a certain name, and just as many stories of names that fit a pet’s personality or names that just ‘clicked’ when someone saw their pet. Sometimes the name we pick means something to us or stands for something, and other times we just like the sound of it.
Regardless of how a pet got their name, I have yet to hear anyone say they picked the wrong name for their dog or cat and decided to change it later. No matter what name we decide upon, it’s seems as if we just somehow know it’s the right one, and it fits. This reminds me of a story about my own name.
When I was born, my mother named me Julia and put that on my birth certificate. However, a day or so later she changed her mind and decided to call me Julie instead. All through my childhood, I disliked my name. I felt it didn’t ‘fit’ me somehow, but didn’t know why. I wasn’t aware that the name on my birth certificate was different than the one everyone knew me by. I eventually found out, and decided I would rather go by Julia.
Once I decided to be Julia instead of Julie, my name instantly felt like it fit. Now, you might not think one little letter would make a difference, but it did. What I realized was that my mother had known the ‘right’ name all along! Thus, I believe that when it comes to picking the right name for your pet, all you really have to do is trust your first instinct.
The great thing about naming our pets is that we can choose any name that floats our boat, no matter how oddball it might be. No one’s going to stop you. Well…that’s not entirely true. When I was 4, we had a yellow kitten I desperately wanted to name Blackie, but my family nixed that idea. In my young mind, I saw nothing wrong with the name and was very upset. Now that I’m an adult and can choose any pet name I want, I have two black cats – and neither one is named Blackie! Go figure.
If you want to name your Chihuahua ‘Tank’ or your Great Dane ‘Tiny’ it’s perfectly acceptable, not to mention good for a few laughs at the dog park or the vet’s office. Our pets don’t know the difference nor do they care. Pets are oblivious to the nuances of a name. As long as we don’t call them late to their CANIDAE or FELIDAE feedings, they don’t seem to mind what we call them. Whereas a human child might grow up hating their name and eventually change it (like me!), pets just happily accept their name. Most pets learn their name easily and unless it’s a cat we’re talking about, they’ll even come when called.
You can find inspiration for pet names just about anywhere. Some people pick pet names based on their favorite food, drink or hobby; others might choose a pop culture reference or pick a name based on a pet’s physical characteristic such as color or size. You can also search online databases of baby names to see if one seems right for your pet, or read How to Pick the Perfect Name for Your New Pet by yours truly.
I named black cat #1 Mickey because his tiny kitten self squeaked like a mouse. Black cat #2 was christened Rocky because even though this rescue baby was quite sick, I could see he had the spirit of a fighter. I was thinking of Little Orphan Annie when I named my other rescue baby Annabelle.
Now it’s your turn – how did you pick your pet’s name?

On Jan. 22, Pastor Sam Thompson’s house burned down in Clover. Sam and his wife, Mrs. Annie, work together at New Beginnings Baptist Church, God’s Kitchen and the Lighthouse Shelter. He is a 76-year-old African-American who is undaunted by the challenges this event brings.
This tragic event became known while several of us were at the Band of Brothers conference at White Oak. The 40-plus pastors who had gathered from around the state received an impromptu love offering for Sam. The men all contributed freely in response to the need of a brother many of them did not know. They only wanted Sam to know they were praying for and supporting him.
This is the type of fellowship and love being developed by the Band of Brothers meetings. This camaraderie is one of the best ways to combat the competitive spirit so evident among churches and pastors.
The next meeting is April 21-23. I personally encourage every pastor to attend. Contact Monty Hale’s office at the SCBC for more information.

Working Title: Straw Critic: From YKTTW
: Does the Psychonauts
example count? He was a critic, but of opera, not video games. And I don't think there were any critics who said that Psychonauts
was derivative (at the very least, not any who wrote before the game came out, so that character could be a response to them). So even though he is a "stock critic", I don't think he's really a "straw critic", as his function in the game is, basically, an overactive super-ego, not a Take That
on the game's detractors.
: I think you can argue that the Psychonauts
is a parody of this kind of character, although the entry should mention this. It's worth noting that a Straw Critic
doesn't necessarily have
to be a Take That
on retractors. That's just how they usually end up being used because writers are spiteful for poor critical reception. On that note, the subentry to Ratatouille pigeonholes critics into "all wanting to be this kind of character but actually distancing themselves". It's worth noting that while most critics liked Ratatouille, not all of them did.
: Took out:
Since it's not really an example, and is attracting Natter
Critic: I liked your novel. Who wrote it for you?
Author: I wrote it. Who read it for you?
Movie star (some say Humphrey Bogart): I liked your novel. Who wrote it for you?
Ilka Chase: I'm so glad you liked it. Who read it for you?
Ms. Chase is demonstrably the novelist in question - I have it on several books' authority - though the movie star is a little dubious. The Bogie reference is included in only one source.
: Removed the quote wholeclotch. I always thought it was a weird quote for this page, and now that we know the full context of the it we can clearly see it doesn't have anything to do with the Straw Critic
at all. Who added that in the first place, anyway? Isn't two page quotes enough?
Man Without A Body
: Removed the Ratatouille
example, because Ego isn't really a Straw Critic
, it turns out. Whatever happened to that Merlin's Shop of Mystical Wonders
: I think you could argue that Ego averts the Straw Critic
stereotype, but it's not something I really want to fight about. Don't know what happened to the quote, but honestly one quote per page is plenty, so not shedding any tears over that one either.
: Anyway, I deleted two Truth in Television
examples from the page and added a disclaimer against doing this kind of thing in the future. It's worth stating again, but it's a major pet peeve of mine when people unintentionally put meta-examples in the War On Straw
: Removed because I'm not sure how it's an example of this trope. We need more than a quote: | <urn:uuid:da4e0589-825a-42ad-9312-2cd08754ecf6> | CC-MAIN-2015-27 | http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/archived_discussion.php?s_t=Main.StrawCritic | 2015-07-05T06:33:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-27/segments/1435375097246.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20150627031817-00152-ip-10-179-60-89.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.969809 | 644 | [

Which acid is best for dissolving human remains? I was really looking for an advice column for Confused Criminals, but this was the closest I could find.
- Wanted in New Jersey
Dear Wanted in NJ,
It is immediately apparent to me that you are some sort of criminally insane deviant, hell-bent on malicious destruction and wanton violence. Helping you scour the blood of the innocent from your hand after a psychotic episode of lethiferous butchery would only serve to pull me in to your barbed skein of carnage and self-destruction.
Though a tempting prospect; I must admit that I am hesitant. I am of a serious doubt that my Wednesday night bible study group would understand.
Still, though better moral judgement screams the contrary at the top of it's comically weak little lungs; I must avail my faithful readers, as I am but their humble servant.
I have always found that a bathtub full of either industrial grade potassium hydroxide or sodium hydroxide works flawlessly. Please be sure to do this in someone else's bathtub, as these chemicals have a habit of laying waste to absolutely everything and I will not, under any circumstances, be held responsible for the destruction or degradation of your water closet and/or any of its components.
My more shrewd readers -- if there truly are any, I remain doubtful -- may have noted that neither potasium hydroxide(KOH) nor sodium hydroxide(NaOH) are acids but rather that they are alkaline or base in nature. If for some reason you absolutely must have something acidic; super high grade hydrochloric acid(HCI) or sulfuric acid(H2S04) will do the trick. Finding these chemicals shouldn't pose a major difficulty to an intellectual dynamo such as yourself. There was over 10 million tons of sodium hydroxide produced world wide last year alone. Here is a place to start:
Please, at least try to cut a swath of responsibility through the rambling fields of chaos that is your life and take the proper safety precautions. I would find it difficult to sleep at night if I knew that I had endangered the fragile and worthless lives of one of my devoted readers with my advice.
These are dangerous skin corrosive chemicals (obviously). Make sure to wear industrial grade, double thick rubber coverings over your entire body and goggles on your eyes. You only get one set of lungs, please be sure to obtain a respirator as these materials all emit dangerous hyper-toxic gasses.
Opening the mouth of the... subject, and forcing a gallon or so of the brew of choice down the gullet will expedite the process by corroding it from the inside as well -- or so I've heard. Mixing these chemicals together is what would classically consider a "bad idea". Not only might it cause a violent and unpredictable chemical reaction, but mixing an acid with a base gives you something about as corrosive as the pee-water found in a community kiddie pool.
That is all the help you will get from me scum. And be aware, should you decide to come for me next, my manse is patrolled by heavily armed guerillas of war with an uncanny appetite for blood and a platoon of rabid pit bulls, raised on raw meat and beaten daily. I go nowhere without a mobile force of simian grunts and my trusty manservant Mr. Toasterleavings; who is trained in the deadly art of the Dim Mak and carries an absurd arsenal of exotic and highly illegal weapons and explosives on his person at all times (even to bed). He kills on my whim; best keep your distance knave!

Cylinder liners of both 4-stroke and 2-stroke engines show signs of wear and tear after extended use, regardless of the latest advances in lubricating oil and liner casting technologies. What's not quite so obvious is that when doing the consequent engine overhauls or engine repairs that involve cylinders, it is predictable that the liners will have to be deglazed and crosshatched. For cylinder deglazing jobs (plateauing as well) one industry standard tool is the compact, portable ball hone from Brush Research Manufacturing (BRM), who recently announced that its Flex-Hone® tool was available for ‘big bore’ marine diesel engines up to 40-inches in diameter.

When a cylinder liner comes out of the factory, it will have a slight cross-hatch pattern honed into its surface, an increased roughness to help the liner surface to retain the lubricating oil needed to provide an evenly distributed oil film between t...

Google Drive—formerly named Google Docs—is Google’s online productivity suite. It’s long been a popular choice for collaborative writing and editing of documents, especially among teachers and students, so I won’t dwell on the excellent collaboration features others have written about at length for years. More recently, Google added cloud storage space similar to what Dropbox offers. If you use any of Google’s products like Gmail or Calendar, you already have access to at least 15 GB of file storage space on Google Drive. This new addition dramatically changes the ways in which you can interact with Google Drive.
Google launches new features and add-ins all the time, so if you’re still interacting with Google Drive exactly the same way you did in 2010 in the early Google Docs days, you’re in for a pleasant surprise. Here are five powerful new ways to make the most of Google Drive.
1. Scan classroom documents in seconds using your tablet or smartphone.
The Google Drive team recently launched a document scanner feature for its Android app, and presumably, iOS will follow shortly. Just snap a picture of any document—whether one page or many pages—and it will be uploaded as a black and white PDF to your Google Drive. Once it’s uploaded, Google runs the document through an Optical Character Recognition process so that you can find the document later by searching for key words. Collecting physical homework digitally lets you provide incremental feedback while simultaneously letting students continue to work on the original document.
2. Retrieve old versions of documents—even the ones on your computer.
It has long been the case that Google Drive has let you view the revision history and retrieve old versions of documents written using the Google Docs productivity suite. More recently, Google Drive launched a computer application which lets you back up your local files to the cloud and view them online in a manner very similar to Dropbox’s service. What you might not know is that every time Drive detects that you’ve changed a file locally on your computer, it not only uploads the new version, but it keeps the old version, too! You can access the version history on the “Manage revisions” page for any file. If you accidentally modify last year’s test directly and lose the old version, Google Drive has your back. Just check the revisions page to get your old work back!
3. Send large file attachments to students or parents.
Email has traditionally limited attachment sizes to between 5 and 25 MB, which is much too small to share videos and other multimedia files. Gmail’s new Google Drive integration lets you attach files as large as 10 GB to your emails.
4. Work with new kinds of documents using third-party apps in Drive.
Google Drive is a productivity suite which includes many built-in apps. However, Google lets you install third-party apps to your Google Drive, too. These often-free apps include things like diagramming tools, photo and video editors, PDF annotators, graphing calculators and other math visualizers, note-taking programs, mail merge tools, music players, and many dozens more. Once you install one of these apps to your Google Drive, you can open your Google Drive files with the app straight from the Drive web interface. We all have different needs and workflows as teachers, but there’s something useful for everyone in the third-party app market. For example, if you scan student work to Google Drive (see tip #1 above), you can use a third-party PDF annotator within Google Drive to mark up those papers directly online.
5. Archive just about anything you see on the Internet to Google Drive.
A new Chrome extension called Save to Drive lets you right-click on any webpage or image and save it to your personal document archive. Because Google Drive is in the cloud, you can access your clipped pages and images from any computer or device. Teachers can use this tool when developing materials, especially if you’re working on the same material on multiple computers. Students could also use this extension to help them work on research both in school and at home because the same files and the same information will be visible from any computer.

Valentine’s Day brings thoughts of champagne, strawberries, and chocolate, of course! We’re looking forward to treating our guests to a special breakfast on the morning of Februrary 14, but if you can’t join us, what about making some of our Triple Chocolate Banana Muffins to start a romantic breakfast off right? They’re easy to bake the night before if mornings are busy. We’re planning to pair the muffins with a tropical fruit cup, and homemade Granola (we’ll add some dried cherries for an extra treat) and yogurt, of course! The main course? It’s time to show off those strawberries as a topping for crispy Belgian waffles, and if you dare, garnish with double chocolate chips and whipped cream as well. Some thick-sliced applewood smoked bacon is just the right accompaniment. Here’s a special trick – lay the bacon strips out on parchment paper on a baking sheet, and rub the bacon lightly with brown sugar before baking in a 400 degree oven until the bacon is crisp. No time for breakfast romance? Why not plan to make a special late night chocolate snack like our Holiday Joy Cookies – just decorate them with some red sugar sprinkles instead of the almonds, serve with fresh strawberries and that glass of bubbly, and enjoy! Happy Valentine’s Day from all of us at the Inn, and remember that Valentine’s is a state of mind, not a date ~ we’re always ready to help you celebrate! | <urn:uuid:17f5c213-7c9f-4190-83df-dc2e4e37aca9> | CC-MAIN-2015-27 | http://www.innatellisriver.com/2013/recipes-2/happy-valentines-from-all-of-us-at-the-inn-at-ellis-river?wpmp_switcher=mobile | 2015-07-01T12:00:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-27/segments/1435375094924.48/warc/CC-MAIN-20150627031814-00102-ip-10-179-60-89.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.88539 | 323 | [

A lot of people have heard about yoga. Some say it's cool and some say it's fun to do but not all really understand the things that you can from hitting the mat and doing some poses. In fact others might say it's silly or will not have any benefit at all. You can't fully appreciate what yoga can bring to you if you don't actually try it. So, you need some sort of a motivation to try one? And that's what you are about to find out. Self.com has presented the best benefits you can get from doing yoga exercises. Here are some of them.
Yes, for starters, yoga can make a person's life lighter and happier. According to a study that was done at the Boston University School of Medicine and McLean Hospital, GABA, or Gamma-Amino butyric acid, a hormone that's being produced by the brain increases by 27 percent when an individual participates in yoga. GABA is linked to cases of depression especially if its level is low. Now, with an hour of standing sequence called asanas, you can actually become happier. Say goodbye to depression with yoga exercises.
If you are suffering from excruciating back pains, yoga is best for you. A study in Spine revealed that back pain sufferers who enrolled in a 90 minute yoga class, 2 times a week for about 6 months were relieved from their burdens by 56 percent. Those who are having treatment are only relieved by about 16 percent. That's a huge distance when it comes to easing pain. Yoga will improve a person's posture and will strengthen his/her back muscles which will kiss these pains goodbye.
Yoga is also great for those who find a difficult time to sleep. A study that was conducted at Brigham and Women's Hospital revealed that yoga can make a person feel relaxed. This state will let him easily fall asleep. Insomnia can be linked to stress so, if you are stress free you can easily doze off without any problem. If you are feeling stressed or can't sleep, just enroll a three weekly yoga session and you'll find napping to be easier than ever before.
Confidence, On the Rise
Yoga is your road to increased self-confidence; that's what researchers say. According to studies done at the University of California, women who had regular yoga sessions were 20 percent more satisfied with their bodies than women who were doing aerobic exercises. Take note, those two groups all have the same result when it comes to weight loss. The most probable reason is simple; yoga digs deeper into your inner self while other exercises just focus on your physical looks.
A Life of Serenity
Say "Namaste" to stress. Studies reveal that women who hit the mat at least once a week for about two years are 41 percent more relieved from stress inducing tension-triggered cytokine. It's a kind of protein which makes a person feel tired and emotionally imbalanced. This is in comparison to those who are new to the yoga world.
These benefits are more than enough to make your life happier and better. If you are under tons of pressures these days, probably it's time to take a break and really give time to yourself. Be happy, stress free and satisfied through yoga.
Randy Perry from Yoga Baron is a yoga enthusiast. He wants to share the knowledge and the benefits a person can get from this worthwhile activity to every person without any charge.

Brace yourself for the possibility of another subway fare and toll hike.
A rare back-to-back increase - along with service cuts - could be in store for commuters now that MTA number crunchers are suddenly dealing with a massive hole in next year's budget.
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority's projected 2009 budget gap has ballooned - doubling or even tripling original estimates, sources said.
Without new state money, officials may soon raise the spectre of increases, service cuts - or both, sources and experts said.
MTA hike fare-y may visit us again

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) October 13, 2012
Rolling out’s senior writer Danielle Canada sits down with another Govan. This time, she chats with Laura Govan of VH1’s “Basketball Wives LA” fame, who’s quite blunt during the Manhattan photo shoot with creative director DeWayne Rogers.
Govan dishes on love, her college education, unwarranted threats and her strict diet. “I got lazy after the fourth baby. I said, ‘oh well.’ I got big, f— it. I’m just gonna keep it rolling,” she says while having her hair styled. “I still ate like I was pregnant for a while.”
“When the public constantly holds you under a microscope and critiques every imperfection, I can see how one would lose herself and begin to doubt whether or not they are in fact beautiful. My time with Laura revealed just that ... it revealed a woman who was still coming into her own–one who was still working to reclaim the self-belief that so many women lose after childbirth,” says Rogers.
Munson Steed, rolling out’s publisher and CEO adds, “Reality TV is equivalent to looking into a mirror. Smart stars, upon observing their reflection, modify their behavior accordingly.”
Visit rollingout.com for the one-on-one interview with the former basketball coach. Be sure to check out her exclusive photo shoot and behind-the-scenes video.

Level of Effort: Medium
The diet loosens up a little after 4 days. You'll still need to eat often and include monounsaturated fats, and hit the calorie mark precisely every day.
Limitations: The first 4 days are very restrictive. After that, you must eat 400 calories every 4 hours and include monounsaturated fats with every meal. A busy or unpredictable schedule can make this challenging.
Cooking and shopping: The diet includes recipes, ideas for snacks, and tips for ordering fast food.
Packaged foods or meals? Certain brands of food are recommended, but not required.
In-person meetings? No.
Does It Allow for Dietary Restrictions or Preferences?
Vegetarians and vegans: The plan suggests substitutions that work for these diets.
Low-salt diet: You're not supposed to add salt to anything you cook. You still need to check the label on other foods to see how much sodium they have.
Low-fat diet: This is not a low-fat diet, but the type of fat is heart-healthy. You eat monounsaturated fats at every meal, and you need to watch your portion sizes so you don't get too many calories.
What Else You Should Know
Cost: None except your groceries. Olive oil, nuts, and avocados may add to your bill. You could save by cutting back on other foods that the diet doesn't emphasize.
Support: You do this diet on your own. | <urn:uuid:8c7503ed-1263-421a-88d4-82d12eb658af> | CC-MAIN-2015-27 | http://www.webmd.com/diet/belly-fat-diet?page=2 | 2015-07-03T21:27:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-27/segments/1435375096209.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20150627031816-00042-ip-10-179-60-89.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.950948 | 310 | [

Well, the day is finally here. After two years planning and five months of development, I’m please to announce the grand opening of BookDesignTemplates.com.
As I’ve been saying all week, this is the result of accepting the reality that many authors choose to create books with the tool they already own and know how to use: Microsoft Word.
So let’s dive right in and find out what we’ve got for you.
First, the Templates
We are launching with a small gallery of 6 template designs. All of the templates available today are intended for fiction, memoir, and literary nonfiction. In other words, books that require little in the way of formatting.
Here’s what I mean, in the form of a chapter opening page from our “Legend” template:
Can you picture your own book looking like this?
The “Legend” template uses the fonts Amaranth and Theano Didot and is particularly well-suited for contemporary novels, romance, and historical novels.
It creates pages with about 360 words per page average. It makes good use of print on demand technology since you want to create an elegant and readable book without creating too many pages, since PoD vendors charge by the page.
Here’s a page spread from the “Premise” template:
As you can see, when you use one of these templates, most of the work has already been done for you. Each template comes complete with:
- The correct trim size already set
- Margins worked out for print on demand production
- Styles for all typographic elements, so you can style your book just by clicking on the appropriate style name in Word
- Pages already set up for your title, copyright, chapter opening, and text pages
- Running heads properly set up along with page numbers
- All the fonts used by the template (completely legal)
- Even an “About the Author” page, too
Each of the templates is available in 3 sizes:
- 5.25″ x 8″, a size that’s great for novels or memoirs
- 5.5″ x 8.5″, the most popular size for trade paperbacks
- 6″ x 9″, for longer books and impressive hardcovers
The Rest of the Package
Now, we can’t just sell you a template and send you on your way. Believe me, I realize there are lots of authors who have never touched that “Styles” section in Word.
That’s why my associate Tracy R. Atkins, has created a fully-illustrated, step-by-step Formatting Guide PDF that shows you how to download and unzip the template file, install the fonts on your system, and replace the placeholder text with your own book manuscript.
Here’s a typical page from the Guide:
Both the Formatting Guide and a new free resource, the Book Construction Blueprint, are available at the site as separate downloads.
Here’s what’s included in each template package zip file:
- The Word template file
- A PDF of the template so you can see what it’s supposed to look like
- A Word document of the template that’s fully editable
- The fonts needed for the template
A New Resource for Book Creators
That’s why we’re making available the Book Construction Blueprint, a wealth of book formatting and construction guidelines. This 24-page PDF can become your guide for years to come when you need to answer basic questions about book sections, pagination, chapters and subheads, widows and orphans, and more.
And it’s free. Even if you’re not in the market for a template, you can grab a copy to use anyway.
What About eBooks?
We couldn’t leave you direct-to-digital publishers out in the cold, either. Although there’s a lot less you can do with a standard ebook in terms of design, we’ve created ebook-ready templates for each of our template designs, too.
They come with a supplement to the Formatting Guide that walks you through how to use the ebook template to get a file that will convert easily for Kindle, Smashwords, BookBaby and other ebook sellers and distributors.
The ebook templates are packaged as an upgrade to our other licenses.
That leads us to…
Licenses and Pricing
When you get to BookDesignTemplates.com you’ll see that the pricing on our templates is variable.
That’s because the licenses we’re selling are specific to the way you plan to use the template.
Here’s how it works.
You can buy each template with 3 different licenses, each at a separate price:
- A Single-Book License allows you to use the template for one self-published book. You’ll get the top-quality design, the fonts, and all the master pages in the template package along with the Guides to help you along. This license costs $37.00.
- A Multi-Book License allows you to use the template for a whole series of books, no matter how long the series is. In fact, with the Multi-Book license you can publish as many of your own books as you like with one template purchase. This is probably the best value if you plan to publish more than one book. Cost is $97.00.
- A Commercial License allows you, as a sole proprietor, to provide formatting services for other authors. With this license you can use the template on books for your clients for a one-time cost of $197.00.
For authors who are planning an ebook edition as well as a print book edition, you can add the ebook template as an upgrade to any bundle for an additional $10.00.
We devised this licensing scheme to make the templates available for different uses, at prices that make sense for each case.
Well, all that’s left now is for you to head over to BookDesignTemplates.com and check out the designs for yourself.
While you’re there, grab a copy of the Book Construction Blueprint. Also note that you can get a good look at each template by using a link to download a full-size, high-resolution 3-page sample.
We’re already at work on our first nonfiction templates, which will include levels of subheads, notes and bibliography masters, lists and pull quotes, all pre-formatted into styles for 1-click use.
There are more fiction templates coming too. By downloading the Book Construction Blueprint you’ll get on our notification list, where we’ll also make new templates available in special offers.
What’s Not Included
I almost forgot to tell you what you won’t get with our templates, and that is world-class typography. Keep in mind we can’t change the way Word works, the way it spaces letters and lines of type, the way it hyphenates. I do think these templates have been tweaked and caressed to output the best type that Word can produce.
You also won’t get Adobe or Monotype fonts, but if you have some, by learning to modify the styles you can experiment with your own fonts.
If you’re doing a fiction book, a memoir, or a work of literary nonfiction, and you don’t need formatting beyond chapter openers and title pages, these templates can save you a lot of time and frustration, and ensure that you’re producing an industry-standard book at the same time.
I’d love to get your feedback on the site, the templates, the guides, or anything else, so I hope you’ll leave it in the comments.
For my part, today I feel like I’ve created something that truly will help authors “build better books.”

In 2011, classic British sports car marque MG was reborn in Europe—as a Honda.
Okay, not quite, but the new models from the now Chinese-owned brand are distinctly lacking in character.
That might have something to do with the fact that although assembled at the UK’s historic Longbridge plant, the cars are principally manufactured in China.
1980 MGB “Golden Anniversary”
The new MG CS Concept, set to be unveiled at the Shanghai Motor Show, does little to alter that impression, unfortunately.
We would far prefer that our nostalgia was allowed to remain unmolested…

COLUMBUS, Ind. (WISH) – Columbus Fire dispatchers say they received numerous calls Monday after a fire started outside a business just after 10 a.m.
According to officials, the outside garbage fire started in plastic containers outside of Faurecia Emissions Control Technologies, a business in the 600-block of Gladstone.
The fire was found on the northeast corner of the building grounds. An approximately 6,000 square foot storage container was fully engulfed in flames.
Thick black smoke started to fill the air as firefighters worked to put out the flames.
Employees were evacuated along with several homes along State Street during the incident, but no one was hurt in the fire.
Management at the facility said a forklift operator discovered the fire. Officials say he and another employee attempted to put the fire out with a fire extinguisher before calling the fire department.
The fire was under control at 10:45 a.m. However, fire crews were on scene for over four hours controlling hot spots.
Damage was estimated around $250,000 by Faurecia. The materials are estimated to take one week to remake.
No word on what sparked the fire. | <urn:uuid:27155894-0538-406c-abbe-5942941c635e> | CC-MAIN-2015-27 | http://wishtv.com/2014/07/07/smoke-seen-for-miles-after-columbus-fire/ | 2015-07-07T21:54:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-27/segments/1435375102712.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20150627031822-00232-ip-10-179-60-89.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.977891 | 243 | [

Anthrax Sent Through Mail Gained Potency by the Letter
Deepening the mystery of the biological attacks that terrified the nation last fall, federal investigators have discovered that the anthrax sent through the mail, in general, grew more potent from one letter to the next, with the spores in the final letter to be opened the one sent to Senator Patrick J. Leahy of Vermont the deadliest of all.
The finding has surprised and worried investigators, who say it poses a new riddle: was the culprit an amateur making gradual improvements through experimentation, a malevolent professional intentionally ratcheting up the potency of the germ powder, or someone else entirely?
It also suggests that after more than six months of painstaking effort, government experts investigating the anthrax strikes are still at sea. Part of the problem, they admit, is a lack of advisers skilled in the subtleties of germ weapons.
The discovery of the progressive potential deadliness of the anthrax is the latest conclusion of scientific testing that investigators are hoping will help crack a case that has baffled the F.B.I. since the first anthrax fatality: that of Robert Stevens, a photo editor at a Florida supermarket tabloid, who died on Oct. 5.
With five anthrax deaths linked to the contaminated mailings, the F.B.I. inquiry has consumed millions of hours of interviews, neighborhood sweeps and other detective work. For example, F.B.I. laboratory analysts matched the serrated ends of the strips of cellophane tape used to seal the anthrax letters. That meant that whoever sealed the letters, without leaving any fingerprints, tore off successive strips of tape from the same roll, officials said.
But investigators acknowledge that they still have no idea who is behind the tainted letters. So they are increasingly turning to science to unravel the mystery. Tests being conducted at several private laboratories may reveal the precise biological signature of the anthrax used in the mailings, helping to narrow the search for the laboratory from which it came.
Analyses of the anthrax sample and the chemicals used to coat it could leave telltale clues to the techniques and equipment used to manufacture the germ material.
Investigators previously believed that the anthrax sent to Mr. Leahy, the Democrat who is chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and Tom Daschle, the Senate majority leader, were identical in strength. Each letter was mailed from Trenton on Oct. 9, 2001. Each had the same photocopied message inside.
But it turns out that the Leahy anthrax is finer, its spores having a smaller range of particle sizes, officials familiar with the federal investigation said.
"It could be that the final steps of the processing were done in steps," a senior government official said. "You take it so far, and take off a bunch. You go further, and take off another bunch."
Despite the increasing sophistication of the anthrax, investigators say they still judge that the deadly powder could have been made in any of thousands of biological laboratories, though getting the right starter germs would have been difficult.
An aide to Senator Daschle opened the letter on Oct. 15, and officials quickly warned that its anthrax was of high quality compared with earlier mailings, to news media offices in New York. The Leahy letter was impounded, along with all other Congressional mail, and was not discovered until Nov. 16. Investigators made painstaking safety and forensic preparations before opening it in early December.
The analysis of the contents of the Leahy letter is proceeding slowly, the investigators say, because they are learning the science as they go along and want to make sure that none of the scarce, lightweight but extremely valuable evidence is lost, corrupted or misinterpreted. They are getting help, they say, from scores of scientists across the nation.
"We'll have to take this into court," the law enforcement official said of the evidence. "We had to assure ourselves that we had a quality program."
A senior Bush administration official expressed sympathy for the F.B.I. because the inquiry had grown so scientifically complex and knowledgeable advisers are so few.
"They're having to review a lot of the initial takes on things," the
official said. "There's an evolving picture. The bureau has gone back to
scratch to invent the science."
But federal experts now say the particles turned out to have a large size range. While single spores predominated, the experts said, some Daschle clusters ranged up to 40 microns wide far too big to penetrate human lungs. A micron is one-millionth of a meter, and a human hair is 75 to 100 microns wide. The big clusters suggested the powder was far less than weapons grade.
Private experts disagree on just how much less. Ken Alibek, a former Soviet germ official who is now president of Advanced Biosystems, a consulting company in Manassas, Va., called the Daschle anthrax mediocre.
"It was not done with a regular industrial process," Dr. Alibek said in an interview. "Maybe it's homemade."
Recipes that antigovernment militia groups circulate at gun shows might suffice to make the deadly powder, he said.
But William C. Patrick III, a scientist who made germ weapons for the American military and is now a private consultant on biological defense, rated the Daschle anthrax as 7 on a scale of 10.
"It's relatively high grade," Mr. Patrick said, "but not weapons grade."
In addition to particle size, federal experts are investigating whether the anthrax powders have electrostatic charges that affect dispersal and chemical coatings meant to increase potency and shelf life.
Federal investigators saw the Leahy anthrax as an opportunity to clear up ambiguities and deepen the analysis. Since no powder had been lost in the letter's opening, they had more to work with. Still, the amount, typical of the tainted letters, was remarkably small just 0.871 grams. A pat of butter weighs 10 grams.
Last week, government officials said the most recent analyses showed that the Daschle and Leahy powders were quite different, the latter finer and more uniform.
"You can characterize the Leahy as having a smaller particle range," one official said.
In general, he added, the ability of federal investigators to do deeper analyses because of the relatively large amounts of powder in the Leahy letter is producing "real interesting results."
A biologist aiding in the investigation said the increasing potency of anthrax in the letters might suggest that the attacker was a thief who stole several samples.
"Maybe he didn't pocket one vial but two or three, if we're assuming this was an opportunist," this scientist said.
Dr. Alibek raised another possible factor. The F.B.I., he said, needed to weigh the possibility that post office sorting machinery might have had an effect. "It could be an additional process of milling," he said, "like a mortar and pestle."
Experts said the Daschle and Leahy letters, starting at the same place in New Jersey on the same date and ending up at the same destination in Washington, appear to have taken similar if not identical postal routes. Dr. Alibek agreed but said the same sorter could apply more pressure to one letter than another. He added that the overall grade contrasts were probably caused by "different batches of the product, one more sophisticated than the other."
Investigators have also been studying the envelopes, officials say, and have found that the paper had very large pores up to 50 microns wide. That is bigger than the largest Daschle anthrax clusters and suggests how the powder could easily escape individual letters to contaminate the general mails.
"It had to be one of the most porous materials," an official said of the attack envelopes compared with standard ones. "Whether that was by chance or design, I have no idea."
It is sometimes hard even to do reappraisals. In the Florida case, no letter or residual powder was ever recovered, leaving many questions about the anthrax there.
Federal officials said the first wave of well-documented attacks with mailed anthrax in letters from Trenton postmarked Sept. 18 to NBC News and The New York Post was relatively crude. The powder was heavily contaminated, they said, with what biologists call vegetative cells anthrax bacteria before processing in the laboratory turns them into hardened spores. Vegetative cells in dry anthrax powder are generally dead and therefore harmless, experts said.
By contrast, the tiny spores live in a dormant state. Individual ones are light enough to float easily in the air and, if inhaled, small enough to reach deep into human lungs, eventually germinating into bacteria and causing the respiratory form of the disease, which can be fatal. They can also cause the less dangerous cutaneous form if rubbed into the skin.
Last October, alarm bells rang when the Daschle powder was found to be nearly pure spores. The danger was driven home when nasal swabs came back positive for 28 people in the Senate Hart building, where the letter was opened.
The F.B.I. in early November characterized the Daschle powder as "much more refined, more potent, and more easily dispersed" than the New York media anthrax. The mailer's letters hinted at the danger. The media ones warned the openers to take penicillin. But the Daschle letter said flatly, "You Die Now."
As federal experts investigated the residual Daschle sample, they found the picture becoming fuzzier. On one hand, the concentration of the anthrax was extraordinarily high roughly equal to that made in the abandoned American germ weapons program, a trillion spores per gram. | <urn:uuid:ea5f2e9d-4078-4121-bec1-a2f56154abf9> | CC-MAIN-2015-27 | http://www.policeone.com/terrorism/articles/51417-Anthrax-Sent-Through-Mail-Gained-Potency-by-the-Letter/ | 2015-07-07T22:05:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-27/segments/1435375102712.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20150627031822-00232-ip-10-179-60-89.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.962396 | 2,009 | [

TONIGHT’S MUST-SEE: “The Sixties,” 9 p.m., CNN (barring a breaking-news pre-emption). For years, officials insisted the U.S. was winning in Vietnam. In truth, this compelling documentary says, President Johnson always had doubts; we hear him on the phone, admitting his fears. This film ends too abruptly in 1968. PBS has viewed Vietnam with more depth and has an upcoming Ken Burns project. Still, CNN — helped by ex-soldiers, reporters and historians — skillfully brings perspective.
TONIGHT’S MIGHT-SEE: “Rookie Blue” season-opener, 9 and 10 p.m., ABC. For four summers, this Canadian drama has juggled solid crime stories with the soap-style lives of telegenic young cops. It has succeeded, partly due to the appeal of Missy Peragrym as Andy. Last season ended with a shoot-out; now Sam and Chloe are hospitalizes and others are confused. Dov is in a funk after meeting the estranged husband Chloe hadn’t mentioned. When Andy tries to talk him through it, they end up in the middle of a hold-up. It’s a good hour; the second one is merely OK.
TONIGHT’S ALTERNATIVE: “Dominion” debut, 9-10:30 p.m., CNN. The 2010 movie “Legion” saw modern Earth as a battleground between archangels, good (Michael) and evil (Gabriel). This series jumps ahead 25 years: Vile creatures roam; Earthlings huddle in fortified cities. The best-equipped city is Vega (formerly Las Vegas), where Michael lives. It’s led by a general (Alan Dale) and an ambitious senator (Anthony Head), whose daughter and son, respectively, hope for the emergence of a “chosen” child, now in his mid-20s. Then there’s the angry soldier (Christopher Egan) who dismisses much of this. “Dominion” takes a while, but builds into an epic series worth trying.
Other choices include:
“Critics Choice Awards,” 8-10 p.m., CW. There are 145 nominees from 23 networks — NONE from CW. Expect some fun: Cedric the Entertainer hosts; presenters include Kathy Griffin and Fred Armisen.
“The Big Bang Theory,” 8 p.m., CBS. With “Big Bang” being a Critics Choice leader with five nominations (including best comedy series), we can sample this rerun. Sheldon and Penny (Jim Parsons and Kaley Cuoco, both nominees) spend time together, after she quits her job and he’s forced to take a vacation.
“Black Box,” 8 p.m., ABC. “Box” gets a second chance with a six-Thursday summer run. Kelly Reilly stars as a brilliant (and mentally ill) neuroscientist; Vanessa Redgrave plays her therapist.
“Defiance” season-opener, 8 p.m., Syfy. The second season finds big changes in the mining town where people link against alien forces. Amanda (Julie Benz) is running a saloon, with creepy Niles replacing her as mayor. Nolan searches for Irisa, the tough alien he’s raised since girlhood. She offers some interesting surprises and questions, in an adequate episode.
“Gang Related,” 9 p.m., Fox. Embittered and paraplegic, Carlos launches his own crime scheme, with nasty results. On the plus side, there are moments adding depth to Javier (Carlos’s father) and to Kang, one of the cops. On the minus, a plot twist involving Green (another cop) feels contrived.
“Rectify,” 9 p.m., Sundance. The terrific first season focused on an ex-con, who’s at home while his murder conviction may get a new trial. Tonight, people react to the fierce beating he received.
“Undateable,” 9:01 and 9:30 p.m., NBC. Producer Bill Lawrence borrows actors from his other comedies. In the first episode (a so-so one), it’s Briga Heelan (“Ground Floor”) as Nicki, returning to visit her new love Justin. In the second, it’s Josh Hopkins (“Cougar Town”) as Leslie’s ex-husband. | <urn:uuid:2d6642d1-ba1c-4a53-9d66-4075af5b193a> | CC-MAIN-2015-27 | http://www.thecalifornian.com/story/life/2014/06/19/sixties-continue-cnn/10796315/?from=global | 2015-07-07T22:58:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-27/segments/1435375102712.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20150627031822-00232-ip-10-179-60-89.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.934914 | 971 | [

Homecoming by Demetrius
Geesh!!!! I had NO CLUE how different homecoming would be in college compared to high school. I did know that I would not have the problem of having to ask someone to the homecoming dance, but I did know that I would have to find a group of people to go to the game with ha. Well, in my case, it was choosing the group I wanted to go with. Of course, I chose to go with my two best friends I have here at BG. It was one of the BEST days I’ve had here. The day before all of the homecoming festivities began, there were all of these beautiful decorations on the second floor pavilion area of the Jerome Library – all of them a little symbol of appreciation for the awesome alumni.
It is always so cool to see alumni of whatever school you are going to. It was always fun for me in high school because you saw all of the adults in your community who were once in your shoes, but what’s great about college is that …well…not only were the alumni once in your shoes, but a great deal of them have gone off and become distinguished individuals throughout the country, or for a few, the world.
Seeing some of these people gather at the library gave me the feeling of “one day Meech, that will be you. Moreover, one day, some kid is going to be walking by thinking the same thing to themselves looking at you.” It’s a sort of eerie feeling, but at the same time you love it and it feels so right. Seeing some of these alum mingle and listening in a bit, I heard them talking about the game they were eager to get to …JUST LIKE ME!!! Hahaa
So Saturday was the homecoming game and it was SO COOl. I loved how before the game they introduced the homecoming court which was really cool, and I loved how everything was just planned out so traditionally and nicely to really give the effect of a laid back but ROWDY atmosphere to students and alum. But after all of those events were done with the homecoming court, it was game time…and…BG PUT ON THEIR GAME FACES..but we lost, but oh wellsss it’s just a game ha.
Well, now its time for me to get to my studies, and that’s all I have on that…hope you enjoyed
Love, Meech (: | <urn:uuid:4859cc6c-f93e-492b-8ac6-733cb5f6c527> | CC-MAIN-2015-27 | https://blogs.bgsu.edu/pieces/2010/10/04/homecoming-by-demetrius/ | 2015-07-07T21:54:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-27/segments/1435375102712.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20150627031822-00232-ip-10-179-60-89.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.987754 | 517 | [

TAMPA, Fla. — New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie had a tough act to follow on Tuesday, delivering his keynote address after the GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney's wife Ann had wooed the crowd with personal anecdotes about the candidate behind the campaign.
But Christie, with a reputation for tough talk that has sometimes drawn criticism, swept onto the stage to a thunderous applause, also sharing stories of family history that he says defined his style. He talked about his parents overcoming the odds and helping propel him into a better life than they had, relating it to the values they carried and instilled in him.
"The greatest lesson Mom ever taught me, though, was this one: she told me there would be times in your life when you have to choose between being loved and being respected," Christie said. "I believe we have become paralyzed by our desire to be loved. Our founding fathers had the wisdom to know that social acceptance and popularity is fleeting and that this country's principles needed to be rooted in strengths greater than the passions and emotions of the times. Our leaders today have decided it is more important to be popular, to do what is easy and say 'yes,' rather than to say no when 'no' is what's required."
Christie went on to boast his own record, as Democrats said earlier in the day he would do. But in the discussion about policies he's put into place in the Garden State, such as reforming the public employee pension and health insurance system, he drew an overwhelmingly positive response from the crowd.
The New Jersey governor described Romney and his vice presidential pick, Wisconsin Congressman Paul Ryan, as the team to put the country "back on the path to growth and create good-paying private sector jobs again in America."
"Mitt Romney will tell us the hard truths we need to hear to end the torrent of debt that is compromising our future and burying our economy," Christie said. "Mitt Romney will tell us the hard truths we need to hear to end the debacle of putting the world's greatest health care system in the hands of federal bureaucrats and putting those bureaucrats between an American citizen and her doctor."
Taking aim at Obama, he said that "real leaders don't follow polls. Real leaders change polls."
Contrasting the history he started his speech by referencing, Christie, with passion in his voice, talked of his hopes for a "second American century of strong economic growth."
"Let us choose a path that will be remembered for generations to come. Standing strong for freedom will make the next century as great an American century as the last one," he said. "This is the American way."
Romney, who made a brief appearance following his wife's speech, is scheduled to take the stage on Thursday to formally accept his party's nomination. | <urn:uuid:55bebcef-d4b1-49e1-867b-2a64c7260438> | CC-MAIN-2015-27 | http://www.masslive.com/politics/index.ssf/2012/08/new_jersey_gov_chris_christie_2.html | 2015-07-01T17:12:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-27/segments/1435375095183.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20150627031815-00172-ip-10-179-60-89.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.980647 | 568 | [
