If Herbalife (HLF) traded only on fundamentals, there's no telling how high it could go. It doesn't, however, so investors need to weigh the pros and cons of investing in its shares, despite last night's financial results.Bloomberg News
To recap: Herbalife beat fourth-quarter earnings and sales forecasts, and boosted its 2014 earnings guidance, despite weaker projected sales due to currency fluctuations. A big share buyback will do that.
Good results sure, but can they ever be good enough, what with William Ackman mounting a crusade against the multi-level market? Websush's Rommel Dionisio and team assess the risks and rewards:
Broad-based fundamental growth still impressive, with core business and recruiting trends remaining strong, despite recent headlines. While shares of [Herbalife] continue to bounce around in the face of recent headlines as well as a negative publicity campaign being waged by a prominent short seller, we believe Herbalife's core fundamentals still remain strong, with double-digit growth seen in EMEA, South/Central America, and China, as well as high single-digit growth in the core North America region…
Given Herbalife's still strong core business momentum, partially offset by continued headline risk, we believe shares of [Herbalife] should trade relatively in line with its peer group. This generates a 2014E P/E multiple of 15x, resulting in our PT of $90.
Shares of Herbalife have dropped 3.5% to $66.53 at 2:44 p.m., while Nu Skin Enterprises (NUS) has dipped 0.1% to $79.99, Usana Health Sciences (USNA) has fallen 0.4% to $75.84, Avon Products (AVP) has gained 0.9% to $15.22 and Weight Watchers (WTW) has advanced 0.2% to $20.95.

To blog the unbloggable blog
But sometimes those draft ideas come to naught. They just linger on indefinitely, and for some reason, I hate to just delete them.
And because I love all of you so much, I now invite you in to take a look at my rejects: Blog posts I never wrote.
On Dec. 2, 2005, I saved: downwithclowns.com. There is no Web site with this address, so I guess this was going to be some sort of anti-clown diatribe.
Jan. 5: Smackdown!: Gilmore Girls vs. Gastineau Girls. This might actually be funny. I don't know why I never wrote an entry to go along with it.
Jan. 27: school lunch menus. I think I saw an odd (real) school lunch menu somewhere, and it seemed like a good idea at the time to spoof it.
March 24: charlie brown teacher voice. This was going to be about how when a certain person at my office speaks, all I can hear is the wah wah wah wah sound they use for adult voices in the Peanuts specials. I decided not to do this when I realized one or two people from work read this blog. No need for blackmail material.
April 14: italics: good thing they can't read my thoughts. I have no clue what this means.
April 20: clavell: cheapest way possible. The story of my uncomfortable confrontation with best-selling author James "Shogun" Clavell in a previous job. Sooner or later, I'll probably write this.
May 19: infrequently asked questions. An idea from God Is My Codependent. The antithesis of a FAQ. Great idea, but somehow, I could never come up with enough that was funny.
May 31: "Sure, but to you, everything sounds dirty," he ejaculated. This was going to be a post filled with filthy Spoonerisms. Never got past the first one.
June 20: Ideas for sequels to "Freakonomics." Because for some reason the word "Superfreakonomics" popped into my head. But it's kind of a one-joke idea that's not even particularly funny. Besides, I never even read Freakonomics.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is what the dusty corners inside my head look like.
No posts for a few days. Lotsa deadlines.

Please share your celebrity gossip with us. Please! I'd share mine, but I don't really have any. Okay, there is the time I saw Stephen King. He looked like some dowdy middle-aged guy you would see riding a city bus. But you probably knew that already.
- Kate R said...
I love those and would be happy to wade through any one of them. Especially the dirty tom nifties (We get Boy's Life in our house and wowee! those jokes and Tom Swifties are from another more bizarrely innocent age.)
- Doug Hoffman said...
Yeah, I want to hear the Clavell story, too!
"Sure, but to you, everything sounds dirty," he ejaculated. -- that's priceless.
You and your partner ever come out my way, I will make you matzoh brei, and you WILL like it. Better yet, I'll make latkes.

I love latkes!

Clavell, huh . . . I just posted a long comment on his IMDB page talking about how I'd volunteer to clean up "Shogun" . . . his exceedingly bad attempts at Japanese that somehow have survived multiple reprintings without comment from a single speaker of Japanese (and a few outright typos, too!)
I would dearly, dearly love to hear the Clavell story.

trade my dark corners for yours-
mine consist of scary dream fragments,
trying to unravel multi-dimensional dreams, unwritten missives to people i've never met, and scattered reminders to buy..do..fix..send..return..write..call..ad nauseum

Brussels Job Day: opportunity for thousands of jobseekers to meet employers
Brussels, 5 October 2012 - The European Commission is organising its sixth Brussels Job Day in the Commission's Berlaymont headquarters on 6th October. The event, which is one of the many Job Days organised throughout Europe, aims to showcase opportunities for jobseekers to link up with companies throughout the EU that want to recruit people, notably through the EURES network. Jobseekers will be able to meet face to face and connect online with advisers from the EURES network to find out more about opportunities to live and work in another EU country.
EU Commissioner for Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion László Andor commented "The Job Days in Brussels and elsewhere are a showcase to help jobseekers to get to know how they can link up with employers in different EU countries. The Commission's April 2012 Employment Package highlighted that the building of a true European labour market is a necessity for tackling Europe's record levels of unemployment as well as for an efficient and sustainable European economy. More than ever before, we need to help to match employers seeking to recruit people with particular skills with jobseekers with those skills in other EU countries, notably through the EURES network and its pan-EU job mobility portal. I will be coming forward shortly with a proposal to develop EURES into a fully-fledged cross-border job placement and recruitment tool."
This year's Job Day focuses on the growth sectors that the Commission identified in the April 2012 Employment Package: the green economy, healthcare and ICT-related jobs. There will be presentations by companies offering jobs in those three sectors and a panel discussion on ICT-related jobs.
A conference at the Job Day will focus on measures to help young jobseekers find work in another European country. It will present the pilot project "Your first Eures job" which provide practical support and EU financial aid to such mobile jobseekers (Your First EURES Job – see IP/12/492).
The Commission is expecting around 10,000 participants at the Brussels Job Day. More than 60 companies and 30 institutions and organisations that encourage mobility have already confirmed their participation onsite.
The online feature introduced this year has attracted another 70 companies that will connect with thousands of jobseekers across Europe thanks to online video-chats and interviews. Onsite and online employers together offer more than 2000 jobs in more than 30 countries. Online visitors will also be able to follow live the presentations and panel discussions
Practical details
People can pre-register at europeanjobdays.eu/brussels and mark their interest for vacancies corresponding to their profiles, allowing them to maximise their chances for direct on-the-spot interviews onsite and online. Employers will have access to the CVs saved online before and during the interviews.
6 October - the European Job Day, Berlaymont building, Brussels, Belgium.
10.30-11.30 am: Photo opportunities with Commissioner for Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion László Andor
11.30 am: Press point with Commissioner for Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion László Andor
Hundreds of Job Days take place throughout the year all over Europe. They are now evolving from traditionally local, onsite events to more comprehensive onsite and online Job Days, where people can participate also from a distance. After several successful online days this year focusing on specific national labour market needs (notably in Manchester and Aarhus), the Brussels Job Day will be the first to offer an online feature addressing the entire European labour market.
Last year, the Brussels Job Day attracted more than 10,000 participants who visited about 50 employers' stands and 21 EURES stands. About 6,000 CVs were collected by employers and 700 visitors were contacted again for a second interview. 94% of the employers found the event definitely useful.
The candidates were particularly motivated and multilingual and almost 61% of them had a university degree or equivalent. They came from all over Belgium (83% living in Belgium) and from other countries.
Set up in 1993, EURES is the European network for workers' mobility involving the European Commission and the Public Employment Services (PES) of the EEA countries (the EU Member States plus Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein), Switzerland and social partners' organisations. The EURES network is responsible for exchanging information and enabling cooperation among its stakeholders in order to help realise actual access to freedom of movement of workers.
The European Job Mobility Portal of EURES provides actual access to over 1,3 million job vacancies and receives 4 million visits every month. The portal currently contains 900.000 CVs and 26.000 employers registered. There are hundreds of events taking place all over Europe that can be consulted in the EURES Events Calendar.

Skip to comments.Obama's Pastor Otis Moss III: Being black is like leprosy
Posted on 04/13/2008 9:47:53 AM PDT by TornadoAlley3
"The lepers lived in a ghetto leper colony. The lepers were segregated from everybody else."
"They go into the enemy's camp. They find food. They find shelter. They find gold. They find silver. They even find some drink in the enemy's camp. They find gin and juice in the enemy's camp."
"Even though they were trying to destroy you, they end up blessing this small congregation of people with a skin condition."
4/6/08: Barack Obama's incoming Senior Pastor Otis Moss III delivers Hour of Power sermon, "We Have Nothing To Lose," at Trinity United Church of Christ.
This is some sick stuff.
I would venture to say race problems are being kept alive by these idiots traveling the road of stupid.
And the black racist race pimps are carrying the disease..
Why there is so much black abortion and black on black/white crime..
Black males are mostly indeed lepers..
Acting WHITE is the CURE...
Obamas church is a leper colony..
How can a black person with any self respect at all sit there and listen to this insanity?
there was a time slaves risk their life and the backs of their students, teaching them to read and write and do arithmetic.
today it's called acting white.
I wouldn't remain in a country where people treated me like a leper. I'd get out of there as soon as possible.
Say hello to the new boss...
Things seem to be getting worse by the day.
I'm reminded of the saying that, and to paraphrase, "peace will only come when the Arabs love their children more than they hate the Jews."
I think it is apropos to what is going on here, and in fact, I see many similarities between the conflict in the middle east, and our own social problems, which leads me to the conclusion that there is a single, primary source responsible....but I don't want to turn this thread into a theological discussion....
What he fails to explain is how they are forced to buy into it.
Stuck on stupid comes to mind.
Meanwhile, psychologically sane people notice with satisfaction that the normal blacks, engaged in all the non-leper professions and endeavors, do quite well, and thrive outside the "colony".
There are none so blind as those who will not see.
And "there are more blacks in prison than there are in college."
I know for a fact that the majority of Black Christians do not think like these jokers. They live their lives with hope and hard work like the rest of us. This is freakin' propaganda. Why do the floaters always rise to the top?
That's easy.....for the same reason a person of any color, creed, or race can sit behind the computer and nod their head in agreement: selfishness
Sure you do. Having a life not constantly filled with hate, jealousy, and envy might be a start.
LOL...I'll bet the next Dem wanna be Senator or Governor will avoid Trinity Church like it was a leper colony. Membership there should be the kiss of death for anyone trying to win an office outside the ghetto of the south side of Chicago.
Except it's happening in his head. He'll never escape.
Sad. And sick.
Leprosy can be cured
Geee, thanks, President Johnson.
I want to know if you are rolling in your grave.
For all your "good intentions" in creating a "war on poverty", you gave those of us who worked and held jobs- sometimes more than one at a time-more taxes and the priviledge of watching millions of "poor" get to reap the rewards of our hard work with your calculated transfer of wealth away from those who produced it- even if it was less than $50,000/annum. Welfare and food stamps.
Now, after almost 50 years, we have "educated blacks" spewing nothing but hatred, anger, and reprisals against the very people who supported them throughout all the efforts to attack the "poverty war".
I for one am sick and tired of the money taken from me resulting in this kind of lack of gratitude.
"Reverend" whoever that is Obama Hussein Barack's "reverend" can come by my property and take his chances with how I feel about what my contributions to the "war on poverty" have produced with such ingrates.

DETROIT — Bill Parcells used to build football teams around two types of players: stars, and 'hold-the-fort' guys.
You pay the stars, and hope the rest of the guys 'hold the fort' until reinforcements come, in the form of younger stars from the draft or free agency.
It's not really that much different in any of the other major sports.
With the conclusion of the World Series Wednesday night, everybody in baseball will be scrambling to determine if they can make upgrades to their roster through free agency — which starts next week — or if they should stick with their own 'hold the fort' guys.
The Detroit Tigers have decisions to make in the next five days, as well, concerning a half-dozen of their own free-agents-to-be.
Do they stick with 'hold-the-fort' guys like closer Joaquin Benoit, second baseman Omar Infante and shortstop-turned-outfielder Jhonny Peralta? Or do they let them go, anticipating they can replace them in free agency, or knowing they have a replacement groomed behind them?
All three of those players at one point or another settled a previously tumultuous position.
And all three may have reached the stage where the Tigers have to decide if they want to continue to have them holding the fort, or if they want to risk uncertainty at those positions again.
The Tigers have seven of the 147 players who became free agents Thursday, under Article XX B of the basic agreement. Those players are free to peddle their services to any club, beginning at 12:01 a.m. on Tuesday.
Detroit's contingent of free agents includes: Infante, Peralta and Benoit, as well as relief pitchers Jeremy Bonderman and Octavio Dotel, catcher Brayan Pena and reserve infielder Ramon Santiago. [For all of the Tigers' offseason concerns, CLICK HERE]
Before the free-agent period begins, though, teams have a five-day window to make qualifying offers to any free agents they'd like to ensure they keep. The amount of those offers for 2014 — set by the average of the 125 most lucrative contracts in the sport — is $14.1 million.
Any player who accepts the offer stays with the team at that price. Any player who turns it down becomes a free agent. If they then sign with another team, their former team then receives draft pick compensation in next June's draft.
The deadline for teams to make qualifying offers is 5 p.m. Monday.
If the Tigers do not make a qualifying offer to any of those players, that does not mean they are not wanted back. It just means the team is unwilling to shell out what would be an exorbitant raise for any one of the seven, just to ensure that it will get something in return, if that player should choose to leave.
Given the fact that most of those players are comfortable here, as part of a contending team, that's not as big a concern as it might be elsewhere.
Most of them want to stay.
For some of them, though, that's not going to be an option. The team has already said it would not be bringing back Pena, knowing it has in-house solutions like Bryan Holaday and James McCann ready to take his place.
Bonderman, Dotel and Santiago could all end up retiring. None of the three appear to be in the team's plans going forward, either.
Really, the decision matters most with the three most impactful free agents — Benoit, Peralta and Infante.
Benoit is ranked No. 16 on Sporting News' list of top 25 free agents, and Peralta is 22nd.
Benoit has said in the past he'd like to come back, but the Tigers may have a more cost-effective replacement for him in-house, in Bruce Rondon. They could let him test the open market, or he could decide to himself.
Same with Infante, who would like to stay with the team that signed him as an amateur free agent going on 15 years ago. The Tigers have an in-house replacement who might be ready in Hernan Perez.
Peralta's already been replaced by Jose Iglesias at shortstop, a move the team was forced to make at the trade deadline in July, when it became obvious Peralta was about to be suspended for violations of the league's Joint Drug Agreement.
When Peralta did come back for the playoffs, he played primarily in left field.
It's hard to figure that the Tigers — despite their need for a full-time left fielder — would continue that experiment into next season. Unless Peralta wants to come back as a reserve, it's likely the Tigers will let him walk, as well.
It's not a decision based on performance.
Peralta did his part for three and a half seasons, after coming over from Cleveland in an under-the-radar deadline trade in 2010, holding the fort at shortstop until someone better (or younger, or cheaper) came along. He settled what, before that, had been two and a half seasons of struggles at short, once it was determined Carlos Guillen could no longer play that spot.
Infante did the same thing at second base, settling a position that had been in upheaval since Placido Polanco was let go after the 2009 season. The second-base carousel had been especially costly for the Tigers in the first half of the 2012 season, forcing general manager Dave Dombrowski to bring in Infante at the trade deadline. Barring the time he missed with a knee injury in 2013, the position suddenly was the least of the Tigers' worries, thanks to Infante 'holding the fort.'
Letting Infante go at this point might merely give Tigers fans flashbacks to the Polanco situation four offseasons ago. Perez filled in for Infante in that absence, and held his own, but is not yet as accomplished a hitter, just like Scott Sizemore, who took over for Polanco.
Benoit also did a wonderful job settling a situation that had been a tremendous concern for the Tigers all of last season (and much of the season prior), taking over the closer's job just before the All-Star break, and locking it down.
Could they just let Benoit walk, and hand the ball to Rondon? Sure, that's plausible, especially given how risky it is signing long-term deals with ANY reliever, let alone one who's going to turn 37 midway through next season.
Given their overwhelming need for any sort of competent relief arms, though, it would be hard to imagine the Tigers don't want Benoit back at all, as long as the price tag is palatable.
Could they bring Benoit back, to continue to hold the fort, until it's certain that Rondon's ready?
Same can be said for Infante holding the fort for Perez.
Of the seven impending free agents, it's most likely that Benoit and Infante will be back. But that's only if the price is right, which all but rules out either of them receiving a qualifying offer.
Why won't the Tigers break the bank for those two — or any of their other 'hold-the-fort' guys? Because there are a couple of stars — Max Scherzer (after 2014) and Miguel Cabrera (after 2015) — who are both in line for contract extensions.
Any money that's saved by not bringing back a Benoit or an Infante can be stashed away to help pay one or the other of those impending spending binges.
And if none of the Tigers' 'hold-the-fort' guys come back, it'll just be someone else's turn to hold the fort.

Whether it's actually the case or not, I still tend to think of the English as a rather restrained lot. Until it comes to dessert, that is. Take the traditional trifle, combining cake, cookies, fruit, pastry cream, and whipped cream in a single confection, or sticky toffee pudding that's sweet enough for any three regular desserts. There's also the matter at hand — English-Style Summer Berry Pudding (pictured), in which four types of berries show up in every bite. At their summer peak, each type of ripe, local berry is sublime on its own, but several together just multiplies the effect. Restrained? I think not.
Serves 6 to 8
Serve with whipped cream or ice cream.
3 cups raspberries
½ cup sugar, or more, to taste
4 cups strawberries, hulled and quartered
2 cups blueberries
1½ tablespoons fresh lemon juice
¼ cup framboise, kirsch, or fresh orange juice
2 cups blackberries
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
10 slices stale farmhouse or other hearty white bread, crusts removed
In medium saucepan over medium heat, heat half of the raspberries, ⅓cup water, 3½ tablespoons sugar, and a pinch of salt, swirling pan occasionally, until sugar dissolves and berries soften, about 4 minutes. Puree in a blender until smooth, about 15 seconds. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer, stirring to release as much thin puree as possible. You should have about ¾ cup; whisk in enough water to equal 1 cup and set aside to cool (discard solids). Taste and add sugar, if necessary.
In a large bowl, stir the strawberries and blueberries with the remaining sugar, the lemon juice, framboise, and a pinch of salt. Add the remaining raspberries, blackberries, and the vanilla, gently fold, and set aside for 40 minutes to macerate.
Meanwhile, spray a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray. Cut a piece of plastic wrap to fit the entire pan with about 4 inches of overhang on both long sides, and line the pan, smoothing the plastic into the corners. Set on a rimmed baking pan.
With a slotted spoon, spread about a third of the berry mixture in the loaf pan, leaving juices in the bowl. Arrange a layer of bread over the berries. Pour about a third of the raspberry puree evenly over the bread. Repeat the layering twice more with the remaining berries, bread, and raspberry puree, topping the last layer of bread with the last third of the berry puree and the juices from the bowl. Cover loosely with the overhanging plastic wrap and press the pudding to compact it. Set another baking pan over the pudding, weight it down with heavy cans or jars, and refrigerate for at least 8 and up to 24 hours.
Remove the weights and pan and unwrap. Invert the pudding onto a serving platter and gently remove the loaf pan and plastic wrap. Slice and serve at once.
Serves 8 to 12
Serve with whipped cream or ice cream.
1 1- to 1¼-pound loaf challah, cut into ¾-inch cubes (about 20 cups)
¾ cup sugar
2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
3 cups blueberries
3 cups blackberries
¼ cup light brown sugar
½ teaspoon cinnamon
5½ cups half-and-half
4 large eggs plus 4 large egg yolks
1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
Softened butter for the pan, plus 2 tablespoons, cut into small bits
With the racks in the middle and lower-middle positions, heat the oven to 325 degrees. Toast the bread cubes on 2 large rimmed baking sheets, tossing occasionally, until light golden, about 30 minutes, rotating pans after 15 minutes. Remove bread from oven and cool (leave oven on, with 1 rack in middle position).
In a very large bowl, stir the sugar and lemon zest. In another large bowl, gently mix the blueberries, blackberries, and 1½ tablespoons of the lemon sugar, and set aside. In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of the lemon sugar, the brown sugar, and the cinnamon, and set aside. In the bowl with the remaining lemon sugar, whisk the half-and-half, whole eggs and yolks, vanilla, and a pinch of salt until uniform. Add the bread, stir, and set aside until the bread is saturated, stirring occasionally, about 25 minutes. Gently stir in the berries.
Generously grease a 13-by-9-inch baking pan with butter, add the bread mixture, and spread it in the pan. Sprinkle the brown sugar mixture over the surface and dot with 2 tablespoons butter. Set the pan on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until slightly puffed, just set, and a thin knife inserted into the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes, rotating after 20 minutes. Set pudding on a rack, cool to room temperature, and serve.
Serves 6
6 cups raspberries
2/3 cup sugar, or more, to taste
1½ cups heavy cream, cold
½ cup plain Greek-style yogurt or sour cream
Reserve about ¾ cup beautiful berries. In medium saucepan over medium heat, heat 3 cups raspberries, 6 tablespoons sugar, and a pinch of salt, stirring occasionally, until sugar dissolves and berries soften, about 4 minutes. In a blender, puree about 15 seconds. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer, stirring to release as much berry puree as possible. You should have about 1½ cups puree; set aside to cool (discard solids). Taste and add sugar, if necessary. Reserve ¾ cup puree.
In a medium bowl, mix the remaining raspberries, 1 tablespoon sugar, and a pinch of salt, and set aside to macerate. After 10 minutes, very lightly crush berries with a spatula (leave some whole). Stir in ¾ cup raspberry puree.
Meanwhile, with a standing or electric mixer, beat the heavy cream and remaining sugar to medium-firm peaks. Add the yogurt or sour cream and continue beating to stiff peaks. Add the berry mixture and fold to combine partially (leave some red streaks in the cream). Spoon the fool into glass serving dishes, garnish each with some of the reserved whole berries, and serve, passing the reserved raspberry puree separately.

Conda to the home crowd in Michigan: "Both of us won a spot in the final three and one of us will be the Biggest Loser."
I have posted tonight's chart in the progress chart thread with the new weights and BMI's. Enjoy.
No goat killers on my island.
So what happened exactly?
They had a series of competitions to see who would be the final finalist.
Top 8 losers (ie ones who had lost highest percentages) advanced to the next round; others eliminated.
Then a competition where they had to run a 40 yard dash - two eliminated (plus Chris who was not medically cleared to compete).
A "puzzle" where they had to put foods in order of the number of calories...three advance (Lauren, Mike, Jeremy).
Last challenge - standing on a pole holding on to a ticket...first with two hands, both feet on pole. Then with one hand, both feet. Then with one hand, one foot off. Lauren feels faint and drops. Mike puts his foot down. Jeremy is announced winner.
Before we begin, what are the parameters of the guessing game? How many guesses do I get? Is there a time limit?
It doesn't start here for an hour, and I think I'll skip it tonight.
Jeremy, you suck. I don't want him to win. He is such a whinny jerk.
At this point in the season it really is Kim's race to either win or lose. I wonder how long between going home and the finale they will have.

Not a bad idea, GabbyG. Unless one likes listening to an hour of Jermy complain how he's mad because he deserves the final three the most.
The only thing that can save this finale is Kim winning. If she doesn't, I expect TBL is going to lose some viewership... maybe they still will. I doubt I will watch next season, unless I hear good things about it (I'll be reading here). It's just awful watching horrible people you hate... win.
I was really rooting for Mike. Remember him? The lazy guy who they kicked out because he didn't work hard enough? Looks to me like he worked hard enough.

Earl Watson Hour on KALL – Highlights
If you missed it, Earl Watson sat down with KALL for a full hour before the team departed for the Land of No Lakes. You can find the podcast here, but if you're short on time, here are my favorite bits:
One. [Are there chemistry problems?] As a group, we're amazing. Anytime you go through a losing streak, it's something. It has to be something, and it all boils down to just chemistry. The chemistry problems isn't that we don't get along; the chemistry problems is that we're just not in a good groove as a team. … Our team is based on a unit and the Utah Jazz has always been a unit. They had great players, but the unit always sacrifices for the full.
Two. I've never heard of a team that won a championship and not deal with adversity throughout the season. So that lets me know we headed in the right direction, because if we was a bad team from the beginning, losing four in a row would just be like "Oh, the Jazz lost four in a row again." … Adversity's a part of succeeding, so I welcome it and it's time for us to get better and get more mental toughness and grow as a team.
Three. For me, I've always wanted to play for Coach Sloan. … I see him as being more of a sensitive guy. I see him as a guy that loves to compete, but at the same time loves his team. And you have to have that equal balance, and you have to have that chemistry and that inner peace in you, to be that type of coach.
Four. Gary Payton never gives anyone any compliments, never. No one's never better than him and everyone he can beat in one-on-one and they can't score on him. So we were about to play Utah here in Utah [during Earl's rookie year] and shootaround was over … He was basically telling me that I was lucky to have a chance to play against [John Stockton] and I could see that that was Gary's way of giving respect, but it was almost to the point where I was like, is Gary afraid of him? … He respected [Stockton] to the fullest, and [Stockton] was the only guy he ever gave credit to the whole time I was with him.
Five. Playing with Ronnie first of all always makes my game easier. The energy that he brings, I can feed off of it and vice versa, and it takes our energy into an explosion. He's very versatile. He can play, he can score, he's athletic, and his size is never a factor because he's going to fight you no matter what.
There's lots more, including his UCLA days (he and Baron Davis met at Nike camp when they were 15 and committed to UCLA on the same day) and his relationship with John Wooden, pickup games with Magic Johnson, and thoughts on NBA players including Kevin Durant, Blake Griffin, and Russell Westbrook.

'Flocking' raising money for American Cancer Society
A campaign to raise funds for the American Cancer Society has recently been launched in the St. Marys area. A group of flamingos may show up in your yard unexpectedly. They will be accompanied by signs providing you with the details on how to get rid of these pesky pink Phoenicopteridae (family name meaning "Phoenix's Wing") off your property. If you get "flocked," you may call the number provided on the signs to arrange to make a monetary donation to the American Cancer Society through the Relay for Life team "Ray of Hope." Your donation will rid you of the birds and they are shooed away until they find a new yard to call home. Donations are voluntary.

Hartsville, S.C. – It took two overtimes, an hour lightning delay and 110 minutes of play and the soccer match between Brevard and Coker still ended in a 1-1 tie. The tie moves the Tornados to 0-1-1 on the season, while Coker is 1-0-1.
The first half the match was about as even a match as could be played with Brevard registering five shots and Coker getting off four and the half ending with a 0-0 tie. It wasn't until the second half that things got interesting. In the 63rd minute Matthew Jarrett (Roswell, GA) found the back of the net in a rather peculiar way. Brevard goalkeeper, Jerry Hatsady, tried to clear the ball out of the Tornado zone from just outside the 18 yard box, but his kick was deflected by Jarrett back into the goal, giving the Cobras a 1-0 lead.
Brevard evened the score at one in the 78th minute as the Tornados were awarded a penalty kick thanks to an unintentional Coker handball inside the penalty box. Brevard's Ian Townson (Boiling Springs, SC) took full advantage of the opportunity, finding the back of the net on Coker keeper Joel Tyson (Irmo, SC).
Four minutes later both teams were forced to put the breaks on, as the officials stopped play due to lightning for the next hour. When play resumed with eight minutes left, both teams had their fair share of opportunities, but were unable to get the game winning goal, sending the game into overtime. After 20 more minutes of play and two more shots on goal, neither team had scored and the game ended in a tie.
Hatsady had three saves in the game, while Tyson had four. Brevard edged out Coker 14 shots to 13, while the Tornados also committed 13 fouls to Coker's 11.
The Cobras return to the pitch on Wednesday, September 3, as they travel to Wingate for a 5:00 p.m. kick-off, while Brevard also returns to action on Wednesday, as they travel to Erskine College for a 7:00 p.m. kick-off.

What a difference 50 degrees can make. As I write this, it was only a week ago that the thermometer was reading 50 degrees colder at minus 20 degrees!
For some folks - car batteries gave up the ghost, water pipes froze, and furnaces said enough was enough. But we made it.
It was the same with Iowa wildlife, too. Every part of living in those extreme conditions was more difficult for them, as well. And they suffered additional winter stress, but most survived, most but not all. The extreme temperatures that we experienced took out the weakened representatives of the species.
The very old and the very young, the injured or the sick. That's how it works. That's survival of the fittest.
For the healthy, the extreme, three-day subzero stretch is not in itself especially harmful to wildlife. If there is good winter cover close to a good food source then most wildlife will be just fine.
But good winter cover is hard to come by around here. Shrubs, conifers, cattails and other thick vegetation provide cover for wildlife when snow obliterates grassy habitat. Take a drive around and while you do, take note of the "waste" areas that disappeared just in the last year or two as more property was pushed into production.
You might find it interesting that pheasants, perhaps the most vulnerable of the state's game species to severe winter weather, seldom freeze to death. According to Todd Bogenschutz, DNR upland game biologist, there is little correlation between winter temperatures and pheasant mortality. A much better indicator, he said, is the number of days that snow covers the pheasants' habitat. Heavy snow buries much of the vegetation pheasants and other small game animals depend on to protect them from the elements and from predators. The longer they have to live against a white background, the more vulnerable to predators they become.
As long as ice or mounting snow does not cut off their food supply, that's about the best that we can wish for wildlife right now. So, the warm snap that we experienced a few days ago was a true blessing. Waste grain has been exposed and made available again to wildlife. It was just what the doctor ordered.
A lot of winter remains.. It might bring a lot more snow and cold. For us, that means a lot more shoveling and jumping car batteries. For wildlife, it could mean life or death. But at least for now, they've drawn a good card.

HARRISBURG, Pa., Oct. 24, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs today reminds Pennsylvanians to turn in their expired, unused or unwanted prescriptions at collections sites statewide as part of National Drug Take Back Day events this week.
"Drug take back programs are imperative to safeguarding public health and reducing the threat of prescription drug abuse and dependence," said Secretary of Drug and Alcohol Programs Gary Tennis. "By turning in old and unwanted prescriptions through these free and anonymous services, Pennsylvanians can play an essential role in reducing misuse and overdoses."
The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and its national, tribal and community partners established the National Drug Take Back Day initiative seven years ago to give the public the opportunity to prevent pill abuse and theft by ridding their homes of unwanted and potentially dangerous prescription drugs. Studies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including from the home medicine cabinet.
"Committed to combatting this issue and protecting Pennsylvania public health, Governor Corbett proposed a permanent drug collection boxes program in his Healthy Pennsylvania initiative," Tennis said. "A permanent take back program will give Pennsylvanians a safe and secure way to dispose unused prescription medications any day of the year."
The Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs (DDAP), the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency (PCCD) and the Pennsylvania District Attorneys Association (PDAA) are partnering together to establish this statewide Prescription Drug Collection Box Program. Applications are currently being reviewed by DDAP, PCCD and PDAA with the goal of distributing funding for 250 drug collection boxes to be placed within local police stations statewide.
In addition to the DEA's drug take back events, the Pennsylvania Capitol Police will be taking back prescription drugs on Friday, Oct. 25 at the main Capitol complex as well as various state agency locations in Harrisburg. For additional information, including drop off locations and times, call 717-705-0504.
For more information about where to find DEA collection sites in your zip code, visit www.dea.gov or call 1-800-882-9539.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. – Oklahoma Christian University (OC) announced the addition of a communications expert and an Air Force officer to its faculty this fall.
Brian Simmons will join the OC faculty as a professor of communication while Col. Brad Buxton has been hired as an assistant professor of engineering.
Simmons graduated from Oklahoma Christian in 1987 with a degree in mass communication. He went on to earn his master's degree in communication from Pepperdine University and a doctorate in mass communication from Purdue University, where he also minored in sociology of religion.
"I believe that the college years are the most important in shaping a person's life," Simmons said. "That's why I am honored to be teaching at Oklahoma Christian, a university that I believe in. For me, it is returning to a community that shaped my Christian faith and set me on a blessed path in life. I am excited to see how God will use me in each student's life."
Simmons is the author of Falling Away: Why Christians Lose Their Faith and What Can Be Done about It and Wandering in the Wilderness: Changes and Challenges to Emerging Adults' Christian Faith.
His dissertation was about "Media Effects on Church of Christ Adolescents' Perceptions of Sexual Morality." Simmons has been published in Journalism Quarterly, the Journal of Popular Music and Society, Media Ethics: Issues and Cases, and Media Coverage of Terrorism, and Sex, Religion and Media.
Prior to returning to his alma mater, Simmons was a communications professor at the University of Portland, where he also served as an assistant coach with the Speech and Debate Union. He previously taught at Cascade College and Saint Joseph's College. His daughter Madison will be a freshman at Oklahoma Christian this fall.
"Brian Simmons has proven records of accomplishment in the highest levels of the academy and in ministerial leadership," OC vice president of academic affairs Scott LaMascus said. "I'm really eager to see how his scholarship and leadership skills play out for OC communications majors, Honors students, and for the broader OC and faith communities."
Buxton holds a master's degree in aeronautical engineering from Air Force Institute of Technology and a master's degree in management from Troy State University. He received his bachelor's degree in aeronautical engineering from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University.
"Col. Buxton has a distinguished career as an engineering leader and mentor of engineers in the Air Force, so I am thrilled he is now turning his talents toward educating Christian engineering students," LaMascus said. "He also will strengthen the good ties between OC's three ABET-accredited programs and the Oklahoma City engineering community, including Tinker Air Force Base and General Electric's new global research center."
Buxton is a 24-year U.S. Air Force veteran on active duty. His engineering experience covers the product life cycle from basic research in aircraft structures through operational flight testing involving F-15E aircraft and space operations with GPS satellites.
Col. Buxton has served as a Pentagon action officer, group commander, and chief engineer for space superiority. He published his research in computational aeroelasticity and was a member of Sigma Gamma Tau, the Aero Engineering Honor Society.
"I am excited about coming to Oklahoma Christian," Buxton said. "OC has a well-established engineering program, and I am eager to help it be an excellent place to get credentials. OC also has a Christ-centered worldview and I want to be a part of that. If students aren't taught to respect Christ, all the education in the world doesn't matter."
Recognized as one of the best universities in the western United States by U.S. News and World Report and The Princeton Review, Oklahoma Christian offers undergraduate programs in more than 60 fields of study, an undergraduate Honors Program and graduate programs in accountancy, business administration, engineering, Christian ministry, divinity and theological studies.

|Condom slip and prohylaxis
May 26, 2006
I recently had sex with an HIV positive woman and in the process the condom slipped out. I realised this quickly and pulled out of her, went to the bathroom and cleaned my penis. The following day, I went to see a doctor who prescribed prohylaxis for me. My questions are: 1. What are the chances of getting infected with HIV in this circumstance? 2. I was told that my chances are minimal (even without taken the prophylaxis. By the way, the side effect is killing me and I'll be happy to stop taking them) 3. How accurate is a PCR HIV test in a month of exposure to HIV?
Response from Dr. Frascino
"The condom slipped out . . . ." Hmmm . . . shouldn't that be you slipped out of the condom little guy??? Oh well, no matter. I agree your overall HIV risk is minimal. To specifically answer your questions:
1. the estimated per-act risk for acquisition of HIV from unprotected (including condom "slip-outs") insertive penile-vaginal sex with a partner confirmed to be HIV positive is 5 per 10,000 exposures. Your estimated risk would be much less because we don't know the status of your partner and the exposure was very brief at best.
2. I agree the chances are minimal. I also agree that taking HIV meds is no picnic. I've been swallowing fistfuls on a daily basis for over a decade!
3. PCR should not be used for routine HIV screening. In particular you should not use PCR if you are on PEP (antiretroviral drugs).
Dr. Bob
could it be aids?

Sizewise, what's most important is that neither the Surface nor the iPad 4 can easily be held with one hand; they're just too big. Encasing Surface's 10.6-inch screen is a 10.8 x 6.8-inch metal case, while iPad's 10.1-inch LCD is surrounded by a 9.5 x 7.1-inch plastic and metal enclosure. They also weigh about the same -- Surface tips the scales at 1.5 pounds while iPad weighs in at 1.44 pounds. We'd say that physical dimensions are a wash.
We salute Microsoft for its magnetic power connector, which mimics Apple's proprietary MagSafe technology. This type of connector couples with the main unit magnetically, popping off easily under stress rather than damaging components. Ironically, Apple does not use MagSafe on the iPad (it's reserved for MacBooks), opting instead for the all-digital Lightning port, an all-purpose port that handles charging, video output and numerous other communications duties. External controls are otherwise about the same. Both have power and volume buttons, a headphone jack, mic and speakers and a dedicated "home" button. Apple adds a combo mute and rotation-lock button.

by the Rev. Andrew Kuyvenhoven
Monthly Theme:
Philippians is Paul's love letter. The epistle is also a good instrument for learning the secret of this great man. Paul considered living Christ and dying gain. And, although he wrote from a prison cell, his refrain was "Rejoice in the Lord always."
Bible Reading:
Philippians 3:20–4:1
Bible Text:
But our citizenship is in heaven (Phil. 3:20).
Philippi is a town in Macedonia (Greece). But the people who lived there were mostly legionnaires, veterans of the Roman armies. They had Roman citizenship. Rome was their real home. And the laws of the homeland determined the behavior of these citizens in faraway Philippi.
The same thing is true for us Christians. We live in this world, but our homeland is in heaven where Christ our Lord is. Our behavior today is ruled by the laws of the city faraway.
Actually Christians have a double citizenship. They have obligations toward the earthly country, but they must obey Christ above all. God and country aren't always on the same side.
Throughout history Christians have tended to overvalue patriotism and underrate their heavenly citizenship. The church's record in blessing the guns of the nation should make us shudder and rethink our positions.
Our first obligation is to King Jesus, the ruler of the country where we hold our citizenship. And our tie to Christ's universal church ought to be stronger than our nationalism. Christians of all countries are fellow citizens in the kingdom of our Lord.
The Bible does not tell us to despise race and nation, but it does teach us to be suspicious of them. They tend to become idols.
Andrew Kuyvenhoven's Daylight, a modern devotional classic, was originally published in 1994. This edition is copyright by Faith Alive Christian Resources, from whom may be ordered Daylight, the predecessor of Twilight.

It is week two of the Premier League calendar and a number of mouth-watering ties have been thrown up – so GMF is going to predict the outcomes.
Our 'experts' have put their heads together to come up with what they think will arise in each of the fixtures and given a little explanation into how they came to their decision.
Here we go…
Manchester United v Fulham
Everton gave Sir Alex Ferguson's team a physical shock on Monday night and out-fought them to seal a surprising win in their opening Premier League fixture. There is unlikely to be a repeat of that at Old Trafford against Martin Jol's side, who will likely be looking to avoid defeat – though they showed some impressive attacking intent in their 5-0 win over Norwich last time out. Robin van Persie could make his first start and another game with his new team-mates will only make him better.
Predicted score: 2-0
Chelsea v Newcastle United
Roberto di Matteo's side top the table after the coming back to beat Reading on Wednesday, but should face a far tougher test against Alan Pardew's side. New signing Eden Hazard has been particularly impressive in the Blues' opening two games, but Newcastle successes of last season were built on defensive stability and Chelsea will not be expecting an easy ride. It should be a close game, but the revolution in west London should mean there will be no repeat of Newcastle's brilliant 2-0 win at the end of last season.
Predicted score: 2-1
Tottenham Hotspur v West Brom
Spurs were a little unfortunate to lose in the first game away at Newcastle, but a few teething problems can be expected when it comes to adopting a new system of play and a couple of new arrivals. Meanwhile, West Brom were fantastic in their thumping of Liverpool and will be a danger to most teams this season, but they may not be quite so effective away from home. Finally completing the permanent transfer of Emmanuel Adebayor was crucial for Andre Villas-Boas and could well make the difference on Saturday.
Predicted score: 3-1
Swansea City v West Ham
Swansea were terrific in their 5-0 thrashing of QPR last weekend and will be buoyant going into the tie against a West Ham side that looked solid but unspectacular in defeating Aston Villa 1-0. The Welsh side's home record was fantastic last season and will be expecting to win, though Sam Allardyce is never one to look at records and will certainly have a plan to counter the flowing football of Michael Laudrup's team.
Predicted score: 2-0
Aston Villa v Everton
The Toffees will be hoping their uncharacteristically good beginning to a season continues against a lacklustre Villa side. David Moyes' side have always struggled away from home but the Villains had a terrible home record last season, winning just four. New manager Paul Lambert will be hoping to ptu that right but he has quite a task on his hands.
Predicted score: 0-1
Norwich City v QPR
A quirk of fate has put the two sides that were both battered 5-0 on the opening weekend against each other a week later. Both will be aiming to put their respective disasters behind them and may just be concentrating on keeping cleans sheets. Mark Hughes' QPR have the far better side on paper, but the Canaries were very strong at home last season – can they continue that under Chris Hughton?
Predicted Score: 1-1
Southampton v Wigan Athletic
The Saints were good entertainment value in their 3-2 loss to the champions last Sunday and showed they will be a handful going forward for any team, which could be a problem for the Latics leaky defence. However, Nigel Adkins does not seem to have enough quality in his defence and Roberto Martinez's side are always good on the break – this one should be a rip-snorter.
Predicted score: 2-2
Sunderland v Reading
The Premier League new boys have made an impressive, though ultimately unsuccessful, start to their campaign and Brian McDermott will have them ready to right the wrongs that saw them throw away a half-time lead at Stamford Bridge in midweek. The Black Cats looked very solid in a defensive display at Arsenal, so goals may not come easily at the Stadium of Light.
Predicted Score: 1-0
Stoke City v Arsenal
The Britannia Stadium hasn't been a happy hunting ground for Arsene Wenger's men in recent years, having only won once in the Premier league there. There is a fair bit of enmity between the clubs and fans, so there is not danger of it being a tranquil affair. The Gunners were frustrated at home against Sunderland on Saturday and will be doing their all to open their account here – but can they withstand the typical Stike bombardment? A few of their new signings could be in for a shock.
Predicted score: 1-1
Liverpool v Manchester City
Brendan Rodgers men were surprised by a vibrant West Brom at the Hawthorns last weekend, but there are no surprises for them in the form of the Premier League champions – stopping them is another mater altogether. Sergio Aguero's injury means the Citizens' attacking threat is lessened somewhat, but Carlos Tevez and Mario Balotelli are able deputies. Daniel Agger is suspended following his sending off against the Baggies, which could make a significant difference to the outcome.
Predicted score: 1-2
There we have it, the full predictions for the next round of Premier League fixtures.
GMF expects a fair amount of scorn for this, so feel free to ridicule away – we also want to hear your prediction.

FISHER, Charles Parker PhD.
April 13, 1926 - January 15, 2013
Charles was born in Toronto to Georgina and Fred Fisher. He was the third of four children, brothers John and Talbot and sister Jebb. As a young man, Chuck joined the 400th squadron of the RCAF, where he became a member of the Mach Buster's Club, breaking the sound barrier in his F-86 Sabre jet. In 1956, he married Lillian Row of Brockville with whom he would have two children and share 49 years of marriage. Despite having quit grade school before graduating, Charles was able to earn a PhD in Engineering from the University of Texas, an accomplishment he was very proud of. He held many professional positions, including as Professor of Civil Engineering at Waterloo University, and with the Canada Centre for Inland Waters in Burlington. During the 1960-70s he was the Vice President of the International Association on Water Pollution Research. Charles was an avid outdoorsman, hiking the length of the Bruce Trail nine times.
Charles is predeceased by his parents, siblings and beloved wife Lillian. Sons Tim of St Catharines and Mark (Joanne McGrath) of Yellowknife, and granddaughters Meaghan, Whitney and Courtney are left to celebrate a life well-lived.
The family is very grateful for the companionship and care that was provided by Imran, Arlene and the staff at Comfort Keepers of Oakville and Burlington. Many thanks also to the caring staff of the Brant Centre.
Condolences can be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com. In lieu of flowers, donations in Chuck's memory can be made to the Bruce Trail Conservancy. https:// brucetrail.org/store/donate. Memorial service to be held at a later date.

In the tournament finals, IMS beat Washington in three sets, winning set one 25-22, losing set two 25-23 and winning set three 15-13.
They went on to lose to Wapello for the championship in three, losing set one 25-15, winning set two 25-17 and losing set three 15-13.
Olivia Yutzy led the team in kills, doubling the closest teammate with 44 for the weekend. Casey Perez had 61 assists, and Laura Hochstetler had 52 digs.
The team had a 91 percent effectiveness serving record with 35 aces as well.
Head coach Cindy Miller said it was heart braking after losing to Wapello by just one point, and that they just couldn't get the offensive push to win that set.
IMS is now 18-13 overall.

Correctly alignment DOCH timing before pin out?
Posted 22 May 2012 - 02:19 AM
i want to make sure if it's correctly alignment timing belt before i pull out tensioner adjuster's pin and put in the wagon..
im not sure if it's correctly alignment's belt...or just follow sprocket's alignment?
Posted 22 May 2012 - 09:41 AM
Posted 22 May 2012 - 02:48 PM
the crank sprocket dosent look right is belt going right direction ? cams are ok but crank gear line should lineup on the exact mark and the crank line on belt is ushaly a doted line or dubble line i whould only use a subaru belt on twin camer motor turns clockwise

i have been counting on it and i did double rotate crankshaft. there prefect alignment.
If you have any doubt with a timing belt, count the number of teeth between each timing mark on the sprockets. That's the only way to be 100% sure it's on right.

I never use lines on a belt. Not even on the Subaru belt. Just line up marks with the covers and check everything at TDC after rotating the crank.
I use the lines because it's easy. Sometimes the lines are half a tooth off, though. So it helps to know which marks are on half teeth. But i still always count the teeth. It takes an extra minute, and it's a good way to know you've done it right.

i feel more sense than last photo.

Could you expalin this a little further? TDC on which cylinder ? What are you looking for at TDC? Thanks. You can never be too careful doing a T-belt replacement.
Posted 25 May 2012 - 11:18 AM
I never use lines on a belt. Not even on the Subaru belt. Just line up marks with the covers and check everything at TDC after rotating the crank.
I suggest the opposite.
I've seen many 2.5's and some 2.2's with deformed covers. And some 2.5 sprockets that are just plain 1/2 notch off with the marks. The notches not reliable..... you can see this is the case in this threads pictures.
lines on the belt are ussually more accurate. Although it's weird that the line on the crank is not on the right part of the ridge.
still, i would say that it looks correct as is. Espescially since you can see there is slack in the belt, so when you pull the pin, the drivers intake cam will come into better alignment.

Most of the college football world is in the midst of game week. The University of Memphis is not, having to wait until 3:30 p.m. Sept. 7 at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium to play Duke.
"I'd rather be playing as soon as possible," Tigers defensive end Terry Redden said.
"They always think they're ready," coach Justin Fuente said after Tuesday's practice, the team's first after two days off.
Starting quarterback Paxton Lynch and the Memphis Tigers have an extra week to prepare for the season opener against Duke, as the U of M has a rare opening-week bye.
(Daily News/Andrew J. Breig)
Fuente is hoping that more practice time leads to more consistency. He characterized Tuesday's effort as "not bad." Players, too, understand that though they are geared up to play now, there is still much work to be done.
"We have to stay focused to detail," said running back Brandon Hayes, who led the 4-8 Tigers in rushing last season with 576 yards and six touchdowns. "We've just kind of been shooting ourselves in the foot a little bit (in practice) with ball security and a lot of little penalties."
Duke, 6-7 last season and coached by former Ole Miss head coach and Tennessee assistant David Cutcliffe, opens at home Saturday against Football Championship Subdivision foe North Carolina Central.
"We get to see our opponent play and another week to prepare," Hayes said. "It's definitely an advantage."
Fuente sees another advantage: He's in his second season at Memphis, and his staff understands the system he brought with him from his days as an assistant at TCU.
"I don't know how to measure it," the coach said, "but I'm much more comfortable."
More time before the first game also could make redshirt freshman and starting quarterback Paxton Lynch more comfortable, too. Lynch has a much stronger arm than last year's starter, Jacob Karam, with his out-pattern throws arriving with zip and his deep throws having good carry.
"He's a freshman," Fuente said. "He continues to get better and we continue to develop him. I'm pleased with the way he works."

The U.S. Supreme Court's 2003 decision in Lawrence v. Texas, which voided laws criminalizing sodomy, ... aided polygamy's cause because it implied that the court disapproved of laws that reach into the bedroom.
Since then, liberal legal scholars, generally no friend of the polygamists' conservative-leaning politics, have championed decriminalization. One of them is Jonathan Turley, a law professor at George Washington University who has written two op-eds for USA Today calling for the legalization of bigamy -- and same-sex marriage.
"I find polygamy an offensive practice," said Turley, who has become something of a celebrity among polygamists in Utah. "But there is no way its practice among consenting adults should be a felony."
I think it's rather obvious that it shouldn't be a crime for adults to live together and call themselves married. As long as it's not about having more than one marriage treated as a marriage in the legal sense, forcing anyone to marry, defrauding someone, or having sex with minors, the government should leave people alone.

Why Are You Ignoring My iMessages?? – Idea Channel
Why are you ignoring my messages? Are read receipts amazing or infuriating? When you check iMessage on your iPhone, iWatch, iMac, iPad and you see a little note that says your friend saw your message, but they aren't responding. Why are you ignoring my texts?

Can You Speak Emoji? – Idea Channel
Since the popularity of emojis having risen in the past decade, many of these symbols have taken on lives of their own. Which is understandable since no one can get through a text message conversation without using at least one emoji. So does that mean these symbols qualify as a language?
The Vague Horror of Face Swap – Idea Channel
Face Swapping isn't new, but it sure is popular these days with things like the Face Swap Challenge, and apps like, FaceSwap Live, MSQRD, and of course, Snapchat. But have you ever noticed that there's something…weird and horrific about the face swap? Perhaps it's even an example of the Body Horror genre, especially when face swaps go wrong. Those glitchy face swaps you see on your friend's story of them having a computer as a face may revealing something about the relationship between humans and computers. What does that say about the way computers see us?

Wild West rides into Trudeau Center
The Trudeau Center brought the West to Warwick last Friday with their first Country & Western Variety Show.
The Center hosts a large variety show for members and guests each year, but this was the first year with a country theme.
"I've observed that many of the members of the adult day program, their favorite type of music is country and western," said Sally Gruber, a volunteer at the Trudeau Center who organized this year's show.
Gruber took that theme and ran with it, finding 12 country acts from across the state willing to donate their time to perform for the crowd of over 100 people.
The Larkin Recreation Center, where the show was held, was transformed into a country western paradise, complete with bales of hay, horse saddles and cowboy hats everywhere you looked.
"I think the people were really enjoying the music and the theme," said Gruber.
Gruber added that the staff of the Patterson building did decorations and some items such as saddles were on loan from East Greenwich's Stepping Stone Ranch and North Kingstown's Allie's Tack Shop.
Donald Armstrong, president and CEO of the Trudeau Center, was happy to see such a large crowd enjoying themselves.
"We have folks from our Commonwealth Avenue facility, our work site partners program, and Trudeau Center members," said Armstrong.
There were also a number of invited guests from the area and children from Trudeau's Crayons day care program.
Gruber was happy to have provided a great event for the special individuals at Trudeau.
"Many of these individuals can't drive independently. They couldn't seek this type of entertainment on their own," said Gruber.
And the crowd was certainly entertained. Almost everyone clapped along with the music, and some even sang if they knew the words. Professional dancers John and Dee Soares even encouraged audience members to get up and try a line dance with them.

Poor Elfsborgs IF, they´re from Borås on the Swedish west coast, playing Valencia. They´ve couldn´t have gotten a more suicidal mission than this one. Sweden won´t have a competitor in Champions League this year either.
But on the other hand, I cheer for Valencia in the Spanish league and this just means they´re getting an easy stroll into the group stage. And Arsenal shouldn´t really have any problems with Sparta Praha even though they´re an opponent to take serious.

Hmm, Toulouse huh? Well, despite what the English papers say, it isn't exactly a bad draw for Liverpool, compared to Rangers, Celtic and Arsenal, plus the fact that it's only a short air (or train) journey to France means the Reds don't have to worry about the time difference, but still, best to show some respect and prudence for a Ligue 1 team.
OTOH, the media thinks just because France's Euro ranking is high they think that any French team is tough, while disregarding the dominance of Lyon in recent years. No disrespect intended to anyone from Toulouse, but if Liverpool can't beat them, then they don't deserve to be in the Champions League.
Spoiler for rant on perceived media bias:
Sparta Prague are pretty much Champions League regulars, let's see how Arsenal can cope with life after Henry.
Both Scottish clubs too have it tough, Celtic vs Spartak Moscow and Rangers vs possibly Red Star Belgrade, both Eastern European powerhouses.
These two ties also look quite juicy:
Fenerbahce vs Anderlecht
Sevilla vs AEK Athens

Well as a frenchman who has not much interest in Liverpool (or any other english team for that matter), I can tell you Toulouse suck and it would be a huge surprise if they went through
They managed to grab the 3rd place because they have been consistent the whole season at an averagely good level while better teams (OM, Lens and Rennes) had long periods when they played terribly.
They have only two players of international class. The Swedish international striker Elmander (who might even be gone when TFC plays Liverpool) and the defensive midfielder Achille Emana. The right back (Ebondo) is good, but not great. The rest of the players are your average L1 players you except to find in a midtable team at best.
The new season starts tomorrow and I don't think I have seen a journalist expecting them to finish in the top 5 next year.

Having been a reader for quite a while, I cannot help but to have noticed the occaisonal reference to the greater UNIX world outside of the linux community. For example, there have been the occaisonal BSD distro in HotPicks. This is great stuff because it also introduces the readership to the rest of the UNIX world.
With the increase of UNIX proliferation in the home and the increasing number of freely-available distributions (OpenSolaris,Darwin,Open/Net/Free/PC -BSD), how about a monthly column on the greater world of UNIX ? Possibly even coverage other platforms (eg Mac OSX) ? I realise that this is a linux magazine, but I feel that it may give a broader view of the UNIX world as a whole.
Keep up the good work!

Since you guys are all good a vacuuming peoples wallets I'd just thought I'd ask opinions on whats a good vacuum cleaner these days?
Since you guys are all good a vacuuming peoples wallets I'd just thought I'd ask opinions on whats a good vacuum cleaner these days?
90% of everything is crap...except for crap, because crap is 100% crap
Take your pick......they all suck!
Kirby, because they also blow!, and Dyson, since they have balls!.
Ok, so Fezz and Uncut are the class clowns.
90% of everything is crap...except for crap, because crap is 100% crap
Are you talking about a home vacuum or to vacuum out an edger? Because any shop vac is fine for that. For your home, my money is on Dyson. I've owned one for the last 7 years, and they are the best vac under 1000 bucks. And FYI, the commercials say they don't loose suction, but they do. You have to actually clean them out ever 6 months or so, but they go right back to working like brand new once you've done that. Also, they're customer service is great. I've called them with questions, and anyone of them can walk you through taking one apart with their eyes closed.
It's a sad day in your life when something like a vacuum can bring you such joy, but I'm there.
Actually the best are those new turbine plastic jobs with loads of filters in them whci have to be washed, and they do not cost a fortune/

Oh boy!! I just got a new vacuum...it's an Oreck. I love it!! I had a Bissell bagless, and it was OK. I got a Bissell first because I have a Bissell Carpet Cleaner at home and it does a great job, so I thought the bissell vacuum would be just as good. Eh...not as great as I thought. But I found the Oreck, started vacuuming with that thing and wham-o pulled the nap right back up!!! I'm so happy...my carpet has "tracks" now!
Shark Navigator for home,
Home Depot brand shop vacfor Generator/Edger (NOT SHOP VAC, I've been through 5 in the past 3 years, contractor series)
My respose was a serious one, even by jest.
I have many old Kirby machines that have done twenty plus years of daily vacuum duties in commercial street level locations, picking up rocks, sand, contruction debris(sheetrock) nails screws, and have survived, to be delegated to garage or workshop duty, in retirement.
The Dyson machines are a close second IMO for serious vacuuming!, and very innovative.
Just clownin' around......
From what I also understand, you can vacuum wet stuff with kirbys, too. And wash a hard floor? At least that's what the kirby people try to tell me before I close the door on them when they want to do a demonstration. I mean seriously, do ya think I'm gonna let a stranger in my home when my husband is out to sea and I've got two rugrats running wild?
I usually go through two 6 gallon shop vacs' a year on my edger. My local Lowes will just exchange them out with very little hassle. The last one I did they didn't need to see the receipt, not saying much about Shop Vacs' used industrially.
I'd love to get a Dyson for the house.
This thread really sucks....
Clinton Tower
The intellect to live free is in short supply
Dyson animal works well for us.
We've been through several Bissell carpet cleaners, they do not last long. They clean ok, just poorly made. We just bought a Rug Doctor, I sure hope this one lasts longer than the Bissell.
At home = Miele
A melee unfolds when I break out the Miele!
Are we talking about carpet suckers or dry edger and generator vacs?
A little known company called Rainbow!!! I have had mine for almost 20 (yes 20) years. They are a water based machine that lets nothing into the air. They cost more, but I haven't had to buy anything more than a new belt for the power nozzel once in the 20 years. Other great thing about the Rainbow is all the attachments that are available, carpet cleaner, furniture brushes, etc. If you can't afford a Rainbow, Miele's are also great.
I came, I saw, I left
Thanks for all the feed back. It's for the home. Everyone luvs the Dysons but they just look almost like a LEGO vacuum to me.
On the other hand Optilady1 does look like a clean freak so +1 for her opinion. Also heard alot of good about the Miele. I heard it's great at picking up carpet Fezz...I mean Fuzz. The Oreck was also on my short list hmmmm. decisions, decisions......
90% of everything is crap...except for crap, because crap is 100% crap
Yeah, I'm kinda waspy. Jake just said I'm like lady gaga. I was born this way.
But my vacuum it totally da bomb.
Riccar. I would own nothing else now that I have one. Made in the U.S.A too if that matters to you. They are mostly sold at mom and pop vacuum stores.
Never heard of Riccar. What price range are they in?
90% of everything is crap...except for crap, because crap is 100% crap
+1 on the dyson. had one for a few years it best vacuum I've ever had, thinking of getting one for home will have to check out that riccar though

Tips for helping a child with ADHD from professional ADHD coach Dale Davison:
• Put in place as much structure as possible.
• Demonstrate how to organize specific items, such as bookshelves and backpacks.
• Break tasks down into small steps.

CRANBERRY TWP — The township is set to begin one of its busiest improvement programs in its history, according to assistant township manager Duane McKee.
He presented the supervisors Thursday evening with an overview of bond-financed projects, capital improvements and road resurfacing that will be done this year by the public works and engineering departments.
Here's a look at these projects that will total more than $10 million.
• Road work — The township will spend $1.2 million on road resurfacing despite increased costs and decreased funding that the township receives, said McKee. Costs to pave one mile of road continue to rise, from $94,520 last year to $98,903 this year.
The township will pave 8.43 miles, and those roads are scattered all over the township.
• EMS building — The new Cranberry EMS building, which will be home for the township's ambulance service, will be next to the Park Station fire company building. Work on the $1.6 million facility will begin this month and be done this fall.
• Municipal center upgrades — Renovations are planned to the interior of the municipal center where the unused section of the building that had housed the police department will be renovated.
McKee said the project is in the design phase, but it will be done between this fall and next spring, depending on when work begins.
The improvements are expected to include an expansion to the library and space for the parks and recreation department.
• Water park upgrades — Improvements to the water park are in the design phase. The estimated $1.3 million worth of work will include the replacement of the swimming pool's lining and yet to be determined improvements to amenities.
• Sewage line work — The major sewage collection line Interceptor 1 project, which has been under construction, is slated to be completed this fall. It will cost more than $5 million.
• Water line work — Work on a 24-inch water transmission line that will run from Freedom to Rochester Road from Thomson Park/Executive Drive will begin this month and will be done in the fall. This will improve home water distribution.
That work is expected to cost $1.4 million.
• General work — Among the host of capital improvement projects that are in this year's budget, McKee said, are: Kids Castle, software improvements, work on Graham School and Glen Rape roads, the Community Park Pavilion, water line work on Progress and Dutilh roads, a sewage generator station, Cranberry Heights sewer line replacement, sewage treatment plant improvements, North Boundary Park parking area improvements, Mars Road improvements, two new trails to Graham Park, an asphalt path from Ernie Mashuda Drive to the Kids Castle, paving around the public safety building, improved access control and video monitoring at sewage treatment plant and improved video safety improvements to the water park area.
• Water inflow work — In the area of preventing inflow of groundwater into the township's sewer system, the public works staff is expected to continue to track flows and finish camera work to help detect leaks in the system.
The pretreatment coordinator, Rhonda Zellhart, said if problems are detected by a camera or suspected on privately owned lines, the township plans this summer and fall to do smoke and dye testing to confirm those problems.
If problems are found in residential lines, Cranberry will contact the homeowners and tell them what needs to be done to fix the water inflow problems.
