Some Fans Will Buy Just About Anything
…and we mean anything. Sports fans have a reputation for getting a little out of control, leaping at the chance to own something that their hero has touched. We get it. We love our teams too, and we would fight for something signed by one of our favorites. Not all memorabilia is something you really want to take home, though. Some of the stuff that people have spent money (and we don't mean pocket change) on is…well, just plain strange. These are the top ten weirdest pieces of sports memorabilia to ever sell.
Andre Agassi's Ponytail
There are two things Andre Agassi is known for: winning 8 Grand Slams, and his beautiful locks. He had one of the most incredible mullets to ever have been on the court — any court. So it shouldn't be a surprise that when he finally cut it off, the CEO of Planet Hollywood leapt at the chance to buy it. It was put on display in one of their restaurants, although why anyone would want to look at a chunk of hair while they eat is beyond us.
Ty Cobb's Teeth
Ty Cobb is still known as one of the best baseball players to ever have been involved in the game. He still holds MLB records to this day, including the highest ever career batting average (.366). So, knowing this, you probably won't be surprised to know that anything he touched is worth a heck of a lot of money. Even his teeth. That's right, teeth. Someone bought the famous baseball player's dentures for an amazing $6,500, which is pretty darn gross. We just hope they don't wear them around.
Bozo The Clown Baseball Card
Yep. It's official. This collector's piece is basically the most horrifying trading card we've ever laid eyes on (and we love trading cards). It was a WGN-TV 9 Promo card and to us, it whispers "murder." Whoever thought it was a good idea to give a clown a bat and send it out to the masses was insane.
Mike Piazza's Broken World Series Bat
This is a fun bit of sports memorabilia, but still pretty strange. During the 2000 World Series between the Mets and the Yankees, tensions were…really high. In Game 2, Roger Clemens was pitching to Mike Piazza. The bat shattered on the pitch and a large chunk flew towards Clemens on the mound. This normally wouldn't have been a big deal, but this was the World Series we're talking about, so adrenaline got the best of the Yankees pitcher. Clemens snatched up the splintered piece and threw it back towards Piazza, telling him that he believed Piazza had thrown the bat intentionally. It was ridiculous and awesome, and the chunk of bat ended up selling for $47,800 at auction a few years later. Now that's one bit of wood with a lot of history.
Curt Schilling's Bloody Sock
It was Game 6 of the 2004 ALCS between the Red Sox and the Yankees and the Sox were down 3-0. Curt Schilling had recently undergone a highly experimental (we'll spare you the details) ankle surgery and required shots to reduce the pain and swelling. That was a compelling story on its own, but the entire time he pitched, his ankle seeped blood onto his sock. The cameras caught wind of this and it became one of the focal points of the game. Eventually, Shilling auctioned off the shock for an incredible $92,613. It's quite the story, but having a bloody sock in a case might seem a little strange to the neighbors — unless you live in Boston, of course, where you'd probably become a local celebrity.
David Ortiz's Beard
Ortiz was the MVP from the 2013 World Series winning Boston Red Sox. He did not shave off his beard until after the final game, and when he did, he decided to sell it… for charity. Sold for $10,877, all facial hair related profits went to Movember. For those who are unaware, Movember raises money to raise awareness for men's health issues including prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and suicide. The money went to a great cause, but someone has a bag of famous beard clippings that cost as much as a car, and that weirds us out a little.
Mickey Mantle's Signed Death Threat
Let's face it: anything from the MLB 7-time World Champion and 16-time All Star sells for a lot of money. It's a given people will snatch it up the moment it goes to auction. Normally you'll see things like gloves and jerseys, but this particular piece is a little…different. At one point in his career, Mickey Mantle received a death threat by mail. Instead of taking it seriously, he signed it and sold it off — a fitting (and badass) way to get rid of a nasty threat. Can you imagine how mad the threatener must have been to find out Mantle made a profit off of their rage? Luckily, not mad enough to follow through!
Luis Gonzalez's Used Chewing Gum
Most of the sports memorabilia on this list is pretty cringeworthy, but this is one of the grossest. The Arizona Diamondback chooses to chew gum over tobacco, which is a good move in our mind. Now most people just throw away old gum, but if you're a celebrity, that wad of tasteless trash could be worth a fortune. Someone bought a piece of Gonzalez's used Bazooka Bubblegum for a disgusting(ly expensive) $10,000.
Nolan Ryan's Game Worn Jockstrap
Sometimes you have to shift your attention below the belt to get a piece of memorabilia that is truly remarkable. The pitcher, who in 1991 set a MLB record when he pitched his 7th no-hitter, has a lot of valuable memorabilia — including this game-worn jockstrap. Someone spent $25,000 for the honor of holding something that once held his…something. We hope it's on display in their living room: it sure would be the ultimate cod-versation piece.
A Urinal Signed by Barry Sanders
We heard about this story a while ago, and it was so bizarre, we had to do a bit more digging to make sure it was real. Spoiler alert: it is. Only (and this is even more bizarre) it wasn't signed by Barry Sanders when it was first bought. The urinal was purchased from the Detroit Silverdome in 2013 for $23 in the hopes that Sanders had used it while he played there. Then this potty-loving superfan took it to a signing session by Sanders at a local mall, and presumably told the running back this exact insane story–and Saunders still signed it, turning it into one of the weirdest pieces of sports memorabilia ever. What's even weirder is that the owner eventually sold the urinal to ANOTHER fan for $3,000. Well, we guess there are worse ways to piss away money, right?

Bible Crafts and Games About Anger
"In Your Anger Do Not Sin" Bible Crafts and Games
Bible Reference:
"Be ye angry, and sin not:" let not the sun go down upon your wrath:" Eph. 4:26, KJV
Teaching Concept:
In this lesson children learn that anger is an emotion that everyone experiences. It is not a sin to be angry, but it is a sin to use your anger to hurt others, yourself, or to destroy things. They learn from Jesus' example how to handle anger in a constructive way. The teacher presents seven mad monsters and gives examples of things children can do to take control before the mad monsters do.
Mad Monsters Bible Verse Coloring Sheet
1. Before class print out the coloring sheets and make copies.
(The patterns for this craft are available to members on The Resource Room in both KJV and NIV.)
2. In class give your children the coloring sheets and crayons or colored pencils. As they work ask them why they think the the mad monsters are mad. Ask your students if they ever get mad and why they might get mad.
If you don't have a lot of students, you can use the black and white Mad Monster Posters below. Have your children color them and them use them during the lesson.
1. Before class print out the pattern onto card stock (Heavy Paper). (The patterns for this craft are available to members on The Resource Room in both KJV and NIV.)
2. Cut pointers from another piece of card stock and punch holes at the ends.
3. In class have your children color the Mad-O-Meters.
4. Punch a hole in the center of the Mad-O-Meters and attach the pointers with brass brads.
5. Instruct your children to take the Mad-O-Meters home and use them when they get angry to help them remember not to sin when they are angry. Tell them to try to find solutions to their problems before the meter reaches Mega Mad.
I wanted to let you know that I did the Anger lesson with the Hills Brothers' containers and the kids loved the it. Some made 2 & 3 monsters. I planted grass in them 2 weeks ahead a time so they had a full head of hair. I meant to take pictures but it got so hectic at the end of class I forgot to do it. Again thank you for the great lesson and craft. Vicki
Growing Mad Monster Craft
Children use this Growing Mad Monster to help them control their anger before it controls them.
What you will need:
Plaster Container or Can - The container pictured is a red Hills Brother's Cappuccino container.
Red Paint (Optional) and Red Paper
Large Wiggle Eyes
Liquid Chalk Markers or Permanent Markers
Glue and/or Tape
Fast Growing Seeds Such as Beans, Sprouting Seeds, Clover, Grass, etc.
How to Make:
1. Before class print out the arm patterns (Available to members) onto red paper or card stock and cut them out. If you are using a can or other container, you can tape red paper onto the can or spray paint them red before class. Or just leave them their original color. Use paper that matches the container color for the arms.
2. Print out the back labels and cut them apart. (Available to members) The labels read, "If you feel like your mad monster is beginning to control you, take charge before it does. Use this Growing Mad Monster to redirect your anger by styling its hair. Once you have calmed down talk about why you were angry and try to resolve the conflict in a calm manner. ©2015 - www.daniellesplace.com (Please include the copyright if you use these craft labels.)
3. In class have your children draw a mad face on the container using the chalk markers or permanent markers, glue on wiggle eyes, and tape the arms to the sides of the container.
4. When they are done have them fill the container with dirt and add seeds or a plant.
What Does an Angry Person Look Like?
Have your children pose as an angry person. A child may pretend to be: shouting, pointing his finger,clinching his teeth, making his hands into fists, stomping his feet, tensing up, yelling, crying, kicking something, hitting something, rolling on the floor, frowning or punching.)
Mad Monster Game
Use his printable board game to help your children talk about their anger and learn how to deal with it in a positive way.
Children learn to control their 'mad monsters' with this simple game. When a child lands on a monster he gives an example of why he got angry when that type of 'mad monster' was controlling him. For example, if a child lands on the "Gimme Jimmy" Monster, he might say, "I got mad when my mom wouldn't buy me the toy I wanted. I yelled and whined until my mom threatened not to take me to the store any more." The child should then say how he could have handled his anger better.
There are seven monsters: "It's Not Fair" Fergus, Hungry Hank, "I Don't Wanna" Walter, Owie Howie, Frustrated Fred, Gimme Jimmy, and Jealous Jill.
The game board measures 14" x 10" and uses two sheets of card stock. It comes with directions, printable monster cards, and suggestions about how children can deal with their anger in positive ways.
This game is available to members on The Resource Room or as an Instant Download.

Eph. 4:26 Bible Verse Review Activity Sheet
Children try to guess the letters that spell out the Bible verse before the sun goes down. Each time they guess a letter and it is wrong the sun strip is moved down one space. If the sun goes down before they guess the words to the verse, they lose.
Fanfolded Bible Verse Activity Sheet - Children fold up the sheets to reveal the Bible verse from opposite directions.
I taught this lesson "In Your Anger, Do Not Sin". A few weeks ago. It was right after the ruling on gay marriage and the SC shooting and doing away with the rebel flag. I had it planned way before all this happened and it was just a blessing from God to teach that day. The kids loved and it helped them to understand some things. I teach both 4 & 5 year old children for Sunday School and 1st-2nd grade for Children's church. It went over so good. One of the other teachers borrowed it to teach his class of 3rd-6th grade. It gave them some understanding about how to deal with what was going on around them. They loved playing the game as well and we did the funny monster planter too! I used Herb seeds so that it would be something useful in the home. Most kids don't get to keep there crafts if they aren't useful. Thank you for all the wonderful lessons! I love them!

Author Dan Goleman speaks with eloquence about the three kinds of empathy, and how these human qualities, in various admixtures, inform today's leaders. As I watched this video, it was hard not to think of the current resident of the White House and the current Speaker of the House, and how they specifically lack emotional empathy.
The Machines Are Taking Over
Call me a Neanderthal, but I refuse to use the self-service checkout lines at big box multibillion dollar chain stores like Home Depot, because these checkout lines are designed to make you do the work normally reserved for human beings, who while low-paid, at least have a job.
Now comes a news story from the BBC about possibly getting rid of pilots on commercial flights. Basically, the aircraft and airline industries want to know if drone technology is advanced enough to be extended to commercial flights, and more importantly, whether the public will accept such a development.
On a much larger and foreboding scale is the question of whether even highly educated people will soon find themselves replaced by machines that can do their jobs better. Kurzgesagt explores this increasingly likely and dismal future in unrelenting detail:
Are we just frogs in a simmering pot of water?
Antibiotic Resistance and Phages
The medical profession has been in a bit of a tizzy in recent years because the "age of antibiotics" seems to be coming to an end, with no apparent solution.
Overuse of antibiotics in humans and farm animals has accelerated the evolution of antibiotic resistant bacterial pathogens like MRSA, so-called superbugs. It is estimated that by the year 2050, if no solution to superbugs is found, 10 million people will die for lack of a viable treatment against the superbugs.
Enter an old-fashioned treatment called phage therapy. Phages are viruses specifically cultivated to take out antibiotic resistant pathogens without harming the host organism (meaning you).
Phage therapy was considered normal in the early part of the 20th century, but with the advent of antibiotics, it was "forgotten", at least forgotten by medical professionals in western Europe and the United States. Fortunately, it was not forgotten by medical professionals in eastern Europe, notably Russia and Georgia.
In the above video, Heather Hendrickson of Massey University, New Zealand, talks about the dangers of antibiotic resistant pathogens, and the great promise of a resurgent phage therapeutic regime.
For some odd reason, phage therapy is not currently allowed in the United States.
You can read about the promise of phage treatment of bacterial infections here and here.
99 Million Year Old Bird
Prepare to be fascinated. Scientists are reporting that an amber sample found in Burma a few years ago contains an almost perfectly preserved portion of a baby bird that died about 99 million years ago. Feathers, claws and contemporaneous bugs included.
Oldest Homo Sapiens
For about the last 20 years, scientists have been of the consensus that the human species Homo Sapiens started in East Africa no earlier than 200,000 years ago. But now Jean-Jacques Hublin of the Max Planck Institute – publishing in Nature – makes a convincing claim that humans were around a good 100, 000 years earlier, and residing in a remote region called Jebel Irhoud in Morocco.

Brooklyn New York Cops Charged in Gun Smuggling Ring
On Tuesday eight policemen from New York were charged with helping to run a gun smuggling ring. This happened in a city where the mayor is leading a campaign against illegal guns. The policemen are accused of exploiting their credentials and experience to take part in this scheme. This not only involved guns but also

Update: There's growing doubts about the authenticity of this (very well done) video. The best guess at the moment is that this might be a promo for an upcoming CoD game. Your guesses in the comments please.
The FPSRussia YouTube channel has garnered itself a good reputation for providing entertaining videos based on the use of different weapons by a likable Russian. For example, his way of dealing with an Xbox 360 suffering from the Red Ring of Death (RRoD) has yet to be topped in my opinion. But his latest video is the best yet. Why? Because he's not firing the weapons anymore–his remote controlled quadcopter named Charlene is instead.
The details of the quadrotor being used are very thin. Needless to say it's a prototype unit either modified from a standard quadcopter or actually a work in progress for use by the military. Mounted on the front is a camera and underneath is a machine gun. The quadcopter is controlled via a tablet with the view configured to also act as a target reticule for the gun.
As you can see from his experiments firing at dummies, the accuracy is very good and using the tablet to line up shots allows him to aim and hit a bottle and a petrol can from distance.
Quadcopters aren't known for their battery life, which can usually be counted in minutes. But then minutes may be all you need to flush out and engage the enemy. You may remember the video of U.S. troops being pinned down in Afghanistan. How would that situation of differed if they had one of these quadcopters to fly into the hills where the enemy was hiding?
Don't expect this prototype quadcopter to ever come on the consumer market, but it should spur a few people on to equip their own non-lethal quadcopters with NERF or Airsoft machine guns.

Last Time Out
The No. 19 Harvard women's water polo team (4-2) saws its four-game win streak come to an end against 10th-ranked Princeton (7-0) last Saturday morning. The Crimson nearly pulled off the top-10 upset, but the Tigers used a late fourth-quarter rally to earn the victory.

Senior Night
Harvard will celebrate the careers of three seniors, Zoe Osborne, Eela Nagaraj and Michelle Martinelli, prior to the game against No. 23 Marist on Saturday night at 8 p.m.
A Year Ago
The Crimson continued its hot start to the 2016 campaign, finishing 3-1 at the Harvard Invite a year ago to move to 12-2 overall. Harvard earned victories over Mercyhurst, Siena and Fresno Pacific last season.
Just Another Day in the Office
Freshman Sofia-Carrera Justiz has been a consistent source of production for the Crimson this season, scoring in all six of Harvard's games to date.

Harvard rattled off 10 goals in the second quarter of a 13-6 win against Iona on Feb. 4, along with a nine-goal outburst in the second frame against Gannon Feb. 12.
Defensive Lockdown

Scouting No. 23 Marist
Marist boasts a 5-6 record to begin the 2017 season. The Red Foxes are coming off two consecutive victories, earning an 8-5 decision over Santa Clara and a 9-7 win over Cal State East Bay. Marist will take on Brown and Princeton before its match with the Crimson on Saturday night.

I really like the thought of creating machines which use different elements from different eras. for example in this robot we have some cogs from the steam era and some Digital technology from 70's and some software from now. I need to go to the Dover book store and get some books on steam machines!

Dear IES Families,
The school day for students will begin @ 7:50 AM with dismissal at 2:35 PM. Studies show that elementary students learn and process information better earlier in the day. Please have patience with us as we all adjust to the earlier hours.
Get ready for a great new school year!

Q: Tell us about your childhood, where you grew up, what were you like as a child and a bit about your family background.
A: I grew up in Lenasia with my parents and three siblings; there was nothing really in Lenasia except two schools and dust all around, so I lived in my imagination a lot, dreaming of distant lands that I saw in my view-master toy and playing guitars made from oil cans. Radio was the only entertainment, and of course, listening to my older brothers' LP's. I was a loner, and did not care much for company. I had a lot of illusionary friends.
Q: When did you decide that you wanted to work in your particular field?
A: I did not decide, but it was kind of decided for me. After my first formal lesson with Jeram Bhana, I did not want to do anything else but play bansuri(flute) and tabla, and listen to whatever LP's I could lay my hands on. This eventually led to my dis-interest in school, and any other career possibilities.
Q: How did you get your first break in music?
A: My very first public performance was in 1975 for the Nirvana High School Concert, and it grew from there, to my first international break when I performed with my teacher, Pt Hariprasad Chaurasia, in Geneva, Switzerland in 1987.
Q: Tell us more about this genre of music you are involved in.
A: I am primarily an exponent of North Indian Classical Music, and I perform concerts in different cities around the world, but am also involved in Jazz, ( A CD of Jazz standards is about to be released in Feb 2008) 'World' Music and Film Scores. As a composer I do not confine myself to one genre, but explore sound more than style.
Q: Tell us about some of your career highlights.
A: Performing with my teacher, in Geneva, Paris and London, recording for my first hollywood movie, recording and performing in India, lecturing and doing workshops in Ireland,England and USA. Performing for President Nelson Mandela at Robben Island. Playing in countries like Lebanon, India and Turkey, every new venture musically is a highlight
! Q: What are you interests and hobbies?
A: Music occupies my mind almost all the time!! I do like reading and writing short stories when I have the time. I am a movie addict for, mostly foreign movies or non-english movies.
Q: Any interesting trivia or tidbits about you that people are not aware of?
A: I love to act and do impersonations, I would like to do stand-up comedy, but probably won't.
Q: When and why did you leave South Africa?
A: I left South Africa to explore music and to see all the musicians 'live' that I grew up listening to. After thirteen years, I feel that I still need to discover and learn more. I still come home every two years, and soon I would like to work there.
Q: What initiatives are you pursuing now in California?
A: California is my home-base, I live with my wife in a beach-town called La Jolla, which is about a two-hour drive to Los Angeles where I do recordings for movies occasionally. I am currently working on some new recordings, and of course practising and studying, which is ongoing. ENTERTAINMENT INDIAN DIASPORA – INTERNATIONAL DEEPAK RAM
Q: Tell us about your lifestyle and family life in California.

The way I see it, the elderly just want to be treated as anyone else – with kindness, respect, laughter and love. I don't think of my work as caring for the Residents, the Residents take care of me. They have made me feel loved and needed in their lives. The Sisters have shown me how faith helps you get through the challenges of life. I love being able to be a part of a great team and bringing some laughter into the lives of others. I am grateful for the wisdom the Residents have given me- they have helped me become a better me.

St. Mary's Home is one of the best homes in Chicago. When the Residents are here, I know they are very well taken care of! I find joy in taking care of the elderly who are not able to take care of themselves. I love the family spirit here. For example, we used to have two Residents, Louise and Edith, who would race downstairs in the morning in their wheelchairs and make coffee for all of the other Residents. They are always thinking of ways to help each other.

By @TrueGodImmortal
When we look back at the Attitude Era, we remember so much about the singles wrestlers that we forget the role played by the tag teams of the era. Today, I wanted to take a look at the best teams of the Attitude Era, and while there were many to choose from, I wanted to narrow it down to the top 5. Who makes the list? Let's take a look.
5. The APA
-This spot could have gone to any team from Too Cool or even a temporary tag team like The Rock and Sock Connection, but this team matters because they changed the course of both of their careers together. The APA would legitimize Bradshaw and it would certify the legend of Ron Simmons, as they were regularly in the tag team title picture and extremely popular over the years. Their matches usually weren't classic or anything, but solid enough to kick off a show or be near the main event. The APA was really a great team to watch in this era.
4. Edge And Christian
-You might be surprised to see this team this low. The truth is, I loved them but they took a while to finally get going through the era and their impact and popularity didn't quite have the same power as their two biggest opponents. Edge and Christian were the winners of most of their tag team feuds and superb heels for the Attitude Era, but as a team, I feel like they were just a small notch below the cream of the crop. Their 5 second photography was excellent and got them over more as the era came to an end, but I just feel there are a select few teams with slightly more impact.
3. The New Age Outlaws
-I used to think the Outlaws were the best team of the era, but first of all, fuck Road Dogg Jesse James. With that out the way, I think there's much to be said about the Outlaws and their impact through the entire era. The Outlaws came together as two jobbers in need of direction and they turned it around to become eventual legends. With Road Dogg on the mic, the Outlaws started to get very popular, and once they became a part of DX, they took off even more. Feud wise, they weren't as memorable, but gimmick and popularity wise, they are huge catalysts for the Attitude Era becoming so big, thus why they are ranked top 3.
2. The Dudley Boyz
-When we look at the teams of the era, we have to go back to that time. There were only two teams I saw kids trying to emulate and be like during the later years of the Attitude Era and one of those teams was The Dudley Boyz. They made using tables in wrestling a regular staple, took things to the extreme, and had the most popular tag team finisher of the era with the 3D. You add that to the fact that they had their crowd pleasing "Whassup" move and their iconic phrase "Get The Tables", and the Dudley Boyz could do no wrong during the Attitude Era. Without the Dudley Boyz involved, the TLC stipulation wouldn't have been as legendary and the rivalry between the three teams would have suffered a bit. They are a big component of the Attitude Era period.
1. The Hardy Boyz
-I was never personally a fan of The Hardy Boyz like that. I was a Dudley Boyz fan more so, but I acknowledged that the Hardys were talented in the ring and exciting to watch. The duo underwent a number of changes throughout the years, going from having Terri Runnels as a manager briefly to bringing in Lita to form Team Xtreme, which worked well for them and boosted their popularity. The masters of the ladder match, the most popular tag team of the era, and the most entertaining, the Hardy Boyz rank at no. 1 without question.

A New Marketplace that is in Plain Sight? +$60,000 in 6 Months!
Would you like to find out how I've make a company over $60,000 in sales in less than 6 months, by basically dicking around?
If so read on… I've been busy, busy making a point.
eBay & Amazon are the Crack Dealers of eCommerce
Don't miss-read this title, eBay & Amazon are fantastic, but really, they are the crack dealers of eCommerce.
They'll chop you for a good 15% every time and you'll just keep on dishing out the cash to them because they've got the crack (aka customers) that your business needs to survive.
There has to be another way of getting your products in front of customers that doesn't involve dishing out huge chunks of cash every time, even for repeat buyers.
Good news, there is!
And the scariest thing is…
Your customers will love you for it and you'll build a relationship with them that is real. Not mediocre & fake through lines of text in feedback and fluffy stars.
All By Accident
I always said I'd get around to "doing YouTube" at some point.
I always thought it would be on eCommerce, multi-channel software or something entrepreneur related.
But no, I inadvertently ended up with a YouTube Channel focused on Remote Control models. Who knew!
6 months later, man what a ride!
A Year Long Project
For me this is a year long project and I'm now exactly half way through.
I've kept the results quiet until yesterday and the results so far, well they are nothing short of outstanding.
Frankly I'm shocked how well this has gone.
Here are a few details that will make you JOLT up and take notice.
This ain't no bull:
- I've grown a YouTube account which can be measured in thousands of percent
- So far this month the channel has had 315,688 minutes watched
- That's 219 days & 5 hours or 7.3 MONTHS that people have watched my videos on youtube
- Between 22nd Jun 2016 and 31 Dec 2016 1,257,499 minutes have been watched and the videos have been viewed 286,977 times
- I've met more crazy nutters like myself than I could have ever have imagined
- For just one company alone, I've generated them over $60,000 USD in sales
- And finally as a kicker, my YouTube account is banned from Google advertising
Here is a screenshot from my YouTube account:
Just imagine…
Yea I've been quiet here lately.
This is the reason why.
I've been smashing YouTube and have done nothing special other than one thing, "I've been me".
Just imagine what kind of effect this could have for you & your business.
There is no secrets to YouTube being a success for you & your business. All you have to do is be "you" and turn up everyday.
The interview with Dave is at the top of this article, grab a cuppa and dig in. I believe you'll find it enlightening.
As always, your continued success,

New Women's Hunting Group to Target Public-Land 'Poachers'
LANDER, Wyo. – Artemis, a new sportswomen's coalition, was officially launched Wednesday.
Founded by women from six Western states, Artemis aims to defend public lands and waters and iconic species, and to develop female leaders in wildlife and land-management fields.
Jessi Johnson, the group's coordinator, says women have a different way of telling stories, and hopes the group will help amplify female voices in the conservation movement.
"We've recognized that very often conservation groups tend to market to men first, and I think we are alienating a voice out there that is very vital to a broader discussion as far as conservation of our wildlife and wild lands," she states.
Johnson says along with the privilege of being able to hunt and fish on the nation's publicly owned lands comes an obligation to protect and serve wild places.
Artemis – named after the Greek goddess of hunting – will be recruiting new members at the Wildlife and Public Lands Alefest at a brewery in Idaho this Saturday, and is planning a national sportswomen's summit in the spring of 2018.
Johnson points to recent efforts to transfer management of public lands to states as a priority for the group's policy work. She says all too often when federal lands are handed over to states, they end up being sold off to the highest bidder.
"It's 640 million acres in the United States that are public, for everyone, and held in public trust," she points out. "And it's taking away our ownership, it's taking away our voice and it's taking away your say-so in what happens to these lands that are a lot of our backyards."
Johnson sees a bright future for increasing the number of women in conservation efforts, and says Artemis has a lot of growth potential.
She notes 1-in-5 hunters is a woman, as are 25 percent of the nation's anglers, but they're rarely leaders of sporting campaigns and are not yet proportionally represented in wildlife leadership positions.

Hey guys, it's me your fellow artist and friend here to submit more tutorials that I think you will love. To start the day (even though it's late), I will be showing you "how to draw a star for kids", step by step. I know it may seem kind of pointless to make and upload a lesson on a star because this is probably one of the basic things you can create as a beginning artist. The star is a very symbolic object that holds meaning to many folks of different religions and to people of other beliefs. I had fun creating such a simple object, and I know if you are one of the members or visitors that likes coming to Dragoart because you know that there is pretty simple tutorials to follow, you will like this submission on drawing a star for kids too. Thanks for viewing, and following this lesson, and if you want to see what else I will upload, just stay tuned in or come back in a bit. Adios mi amigos and peace out!
DragoArt members upload artwork and drawing tutorials! They are also allowed to leave comments on tutorials, profiles, etc. Many more features, as well; it's way better than just being a boring guest! Register Now!

There are deposits of rich red clay, natural minerals and mountainous vegetation, which are needed for the production process.
Rishtan artisans have become famous all over the world for their ceramics production technology. Their distinctive blue and green work shines in the sun, and every third family in Rishtan produces pottery. All works are unique. Around the turn of the century about 250 artisans worked in Rishtan.
In 1970, the Rishtan Ceramic Plant began production. Although the factory is now closed, most local families continue this work in their homes.

Seeing these have reminded me that I have a few rolls of film that need to be developed. Maybe this weekend. Oh, and yes, that's Shatner in the last one.
"...As flashes of their faces go black and white and fade to yellow in a box in an attic..."
My amazing new vision insurance allowed me to get a second pair of glasses this past weekend. I picked them up last night and after a few hours of wearing them I realized they might cause me to resemble Ben Folds a little bit. Which is funny, because 5 minutes after that revelation when Andrew walked in the door and saw me he said the exact same thing. Considering that Ben Folds has been one of my favorite musicians since as long as I can remember, I'm thinking that maybe there were some subliminal factors that made me choose these frames. Andrew told me that I should take a picture to match one of Ben Folds and then put them side by side, which is pretty funny, so I did a little searching and ended up finding some sort of Twitter photo page that he has. I really enjoyed his photography that was in the Songs for Silverman album. It was one of the reasons I purchased the book version of the album. I didn't realize that photography was something that he pursued, but from the photos on this page I can tell that it's a little more than a hobby for him. He even seems to have his own dark room. I think these are really beautiful images. Most of them are very quiet personal moments. Something that I'm often drawn to in photography. The images from Tokyo remind me so much of Lost in Translation.

text: What You Need to Know About Indoor Air Quality Posted August 8, 2016 We all hear about the dangers of outdoor air pollution, such as car emissions. What a lot of people don't recognize is that the air inside the average home is approximately five times more polluted than outside air. Indoor air quality is important because Americans spend nearly 90% of their time indoors, whether it's at home or running errands. The EPA has ranked indoor air pollution in the top five environmental concerns. A couple common indoor pollutants include: mold, pollen, pet dander, radon and even formaldehyde. There are also some common terms regularly used when discussing indoor air quality, so make sure you're familiar with these: HEPA You've probably seen or heard this term used, but do you know what it means? HEPA stands for "high-efficiency particulate air" or "high-efficiency particulate arrestance". HEPA filtration systems are manufactured and certified to capture at least 99.97% of .3-micron (.000012" or 300x smaller than the diameter of human hair) particles from the air that passes through the system. Dust, pollen, mites and other contaminants can all be captured, greatly boosting your home's indoor air quality. MERV MERV is a shortened version of "minimum efficiency reporting value" or put in easier terms, it states the effectiveness of your air filter. MERV ratings can range from 1-16 with the higher rating getting rid of more contaminants and allergens without impacting the airflow of your home comfort system. We can work with you to decide on a filter with a MERV rating that will work best for your home. We breathe on average 11,000 liters of air a day. We want to help you recognize the importance of indoor air quality and help ensure the air inside your house is good for your health. If you have any questions or concerns about your home comfort systems give us a call at 318-215-7938 to set up an appointment with us. Back To Blog

School Districts Could Create Own Police Forces
JEFFERSON CITY - School districts could commission their own full-time police officers under a bill the Missouri House passed Wednesday.
The bill would allow any school district to authorize and commission its own police officers. Current state law has a very narrow provision that only allows school districts in a city with a population between 48,000 and 49,000 residents to create their own police forces. The officers have to be licensed peace officers and existing state law limits their jurisdiction to school premises, activities and buses. Sexual offenses and crimes involving the threat or use of force are still referred to local police.
Bill sponsor Sheila Solon, R-Blue Springs, said her hometown's school district is the only one in the state with a police force. She said having full-time police officers would keep school districts from being subject to city budget issues. According to the Blue Springs School District website, the first-of-its-kind school police force formed in 2009.
Rep. Karla May, D-St. Louis, told KOMU 8 News she thought the current bill's intent was admirable, but she thought letting school districts create their own police departments would make accountability an issue. She said a better idea would be for schools to work closely with local police departments.
School officials were ambivalent toward the bill, saying their school boards would have to decide whether it was worth it to hire full-time police officers. Southern Boone School District Superintendent Charlotte Miller told KOMU 8 News her school district would most likely stick with its current policy of using a school resource officer provided by the Boone County Sheriff's Department. She said the district would have to study its policies and procedures before deciding whether to create its own police force.
Blair Oaks R-2 superintendent Jim Jones said the biggest consideration school districts would have in deciding whether to hire their own police is the trade-off between resources available and response times for emergencies. Jones said resources and emergency response times differ for every school district in the state.

The Landmark Union Square
Of the adaptive re-use projects in San Francisco, The Landmark Union Square was the first of several conversions of former office buildings into residences. Originally built in 1908 and designed by Coxhead and Coxhead, The Landmark was once the Home Telephone Company Headquarters and is a noted San Francisco Historic Landmark. The building's new owner brought Huntsman on board to devise an interior design concept with urban elements to provide a city retreat for perspective buyers. Of the building's 51,000 square feet, approximately 36,000 square feet were converted into 39 units ranging from studios to one- and two-bedrooms to two-level penthouse suites which take advantage of the building's unique double-height top floor.
The units have sandblasted original brick walls and finishes that include granite counters, mahogany cabinets and solid hardwood flooring. The Landmark project gained support from San Francisco Beautiful and the Union Square Association, received a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board and received various approvals and entitlements from the San Francisco Planning Department.he Landmarks Commission.

This White Chicken Chili with Sweet Potatoes is spicy, filling and gluten free. It's the perfect cold weather meal.
Did you hear about the snowstorm yet?
Yep, it's coming and it's going to hit the East Coast pretty hard. My kids are already planning to be home from school on Friday.
I am not super excited about this impending storm, so I headed to the mall today. What better way to not think about being stuck inside for four days then shopping at Lululemon (and Nordstrom, JCrew and Sephora)? Seriously, a little bit of retail therapy can work wonders to distract you. I highly recommend it.
What to say about Lululemon? I love it and I hate it. There are always cute skinny girls in there trying on pants saying things like, "Are you sure the 4 is not too big? Maybe I should try a 2."
For Pete's sake, don't torture the rest of us with that nonsense. Needless to say, I did not get any pants today…it was way too stressful. It's almost as bad as bathing suit shopping. I stuck to the safety of tops.
My house is filled with joy these days because the news of the storm has had the kids flying high all week. I do enjoy a snow day now and then; I'm not a total scrooge. I love cozying up and sleeping in one room when the power goes out. When the electronics run out of power and kids are forced to play board games – best day ever. I love having a fire in the family room and roasting indoor smores. Aww, maybe it won't be so bad after all.
The best part is I sent a mass e-mail to my neighbors telling them to stock up on essentials for a blizzard party at my house.
- wine
- snacks
- dog food
Can't wait.
Wouldn't it be a treat to have this White Chicken Chili with Sweet Potatoes made for the cold, snowy days ahead?
This is a recipe I have been making for years. I found it on one of my favorite blogs – Gluten Free Goddess. You must check her recipes out. They are amazing. She is so talented the way she can make anything gluten free + delicious.
This White Chicken Chili with Sweet Potatoes is the perfect combo of sweet and spicy. It can easily be adapted to be less spicy – just leave out the red pepper flakes. The chicken is prepared by roasting it in the oven with the skin on. This is my all time favorite way to prep chicken. I made extra and have a huge batch of shredded chicken for enchiladas, chicken noodle soup, tacos, quick pastas, and salads.

All this state needs is more Republicans in charge. They have so trashed this state. What we need is true leadership and those that want to built this state and nation. Not those that continue to say NO and take away the rights of the people like Republicans are doing now. Taking away voters rights for Republicans can win the election. Just look at how OHIO is taking away voters rights from certain district, DEMO districts.
Let me see now, I believe the Republicans are against all these laws too. They are against and want to close down the EPA, the FDA. Anything this protects human life. So what is Heinz talking about.
Yes Brewer is living the past, back 10 years ago. When an individuals gets to a certain age. they cannot understand what the current and future will be. I am hash on her, but she is not FIT to run this state. There is so much to be done and with her and the Republicans its about illegals(at the lowest level) and women rights.
We need a leader and law makers who can set this state for the future, in Education, jobs and businesses. AZ has to be attractive for business to want to move here. Education is the KEY to the success of AZ. Yet. Republicans continue to take away funds for the kids. Yes, they provide big tax breaks to the few businesses that are in AZ. Lets set our sights of the future and building of this state. Vote Smart in Oct/Nov. vote for those that want a better future for AZ.
The republicans can say anything without the law taking a look at the threat. Me, I would be in jail for those comments. Justice in this nation Sucks.
Republicans are the nastest politicans. Who would vote for those radicals. And AZ imports alot of Republicans to run for office in the state. AZ don't have any smart Republicans, because of the lack of education. Republicans have trashed education, thus Businesses elect not to be here.
Any mass killing is a huge fund raiser for the NRA. They take in record donations after a mass killing. They then take the blood money and donate it to the politicians. That is why we get no action. Politicians are getting rich off the NRA and lobbyist.
The politicians don't have to do anything, Congress is on vacation or recess 70% of the year.
It is say that even a dialogue gets shot down by gun lovers and politicians But the USA and Chicago we are a killing field. The Tea party and Republicans love that attention.
Steve ask the right question on all issues. The other council members don't really question much about a proposal. It not the party that people belong do, it what they accomplish in the job. Party should play no role in running our city.

"Kevin Durant is a more athletic Danny Manning."
"Kevin Durant is the most prolific offensive skilled big perimeter player I've witnessed in many a year. His equals are three guys that made the jump from high school to the NBA: Kevin Garnett, Tracy McGrady and Dirk Nowitzki."
"I know what Kevin's role is. I know what my role is."
"He's a once-in-a-lifetime guy."
"I'm most proud of how humble he is."
"He's prepared almost his entire life for this and he's only going to get better."
"He's more of a big man than McGrady, a better shooter than Lamar Odom, more perimeter than Garnett."
"He is kind of a cross between George Gervin and Bob McAdoo."
"A lot of the referees are treating him like a superstar. He gets to the line easily and often."
"The guy is nearly seven feet tall and comes off screens shooting like Ray Allen."
"He's got all the ability in the world and he keeps getting better."
"He's a phenomenal player. He's beautiful to watch."
"I love Kevin Durant. I love what he's about."
"The guy is pretty amazing, that he's able to handle himself at such a young age."
"Durant is a special player. He works hard, and he's one of my favorite players. I have to give him kudos and a lot of respect because you see what he does. He's just relentless."
"I don't think there's been a Kevin Durant. Ever,. I don't think there's ever been a comparison. Unless you say George Gervin—but taller."
"He's 7 feet tall and he's running around like a two-guard. He can handle the ball, he can take you off the dribble, he can post you up, he shoots over you. You can't trap him because he sees right over you. I don't think in the years that I've coached and played . . . there's ever been a more difficult guy to prepare for. You really feel like you're wasting your time doing it. He's going to probably score anyway."
"He's just so hungry to get better. He can do almost anything you can possibly do on the court, and he wants to do all those things and he wants to perfect them."

If President Obama had asserted that there was a moral equivalency between the United States and Russia, the Right (and their noise machine) would have lost their collective minds.
But President* Trump does that and the outrage from the Right is about as quiet as a whisper in a deep cave. A few senators were wise enough to know that they had to say something in disagreement, but expect the Right to flush this story faster than they are flushing the famously false Bowling Green Massacre.
But if Obama (or Clinton) had said it, we'd be hearing from the Right about it for fucking years.
He can has a little cheezburger! Beautiful transformation

With todays hectic pace of life, sitting in traffic can send stress levels through the roof, making car journeys a necessary evil. In support of National Stress Awareness Day on 5 November, Europcar, the UKs leading vehicle rental organisation is offering drivers tips for staying cool and collected while out on the road.
The kids fighting in the back seat, being cut up by another driver at the lights and traffic reduced to a stand-still are all ingredients for a stressful journey. Catriona Lougher, Marketing Director of Europcar UK Group says. The more stressed and angry drivers become, the more likely they are to make rash decisions and run the risk of an accident. Stress can also result in common ailments such as headaches, back pain, high blood pressure and can even lead to long-term health problems.
National Stress Awareness Day is a good opportunity to look at ways to release some tension and stay relaxed behind the wheel. The drive to school, work or simply to the shops on a busy weekend, doesnt have to be hell on wheels; it can be an opportunity for some time alone aided by some in-car meditation and yoga. Follow our quick and easy relaxation techniques to bring a moment of calm to the journey.
Europcars tips for staying calm in the car
- Ensure youve had adequate rest before setting off on your journey and that everyone has gone to the loo! Theres nothing worse than getting caught short.
- Dont exceed the speed limit and notice how much calmer you feel
- Ensure your seating position is comfortable
- Turn off your phone then you wont be tempted to answer it if it rings
- Work out your route, as getting lost will increase the risk of stress. Europcar offers Sat Nav units to rent from all its branches
- Department for Transport advise driver to take a 15-minute break every two hours on a long journey
- Say thank you and apologise if you make a mistake
- Sing along to favourite songs or listen to an audio book
- Consider renting a larger car for long journeys to give everyone room
Breathing and relaxation in a traffic jam:
- Inhale through your nose for a count of five, then exhale for a count of eight. Stretch your hands out in front of you with fingers interlaced and palms facing outward. Hold the stretch for five seconds
- Curl your toes and tighten for a count of 10. Release
- Flex your foot (arching toes upward) and hold for a count of 10. Release and extend feet, hold for 10 and release.
- Move up through your body tensing each area for 10 and then releasing.
- When you reach the hands, tense and release, first with fingers splayed outward and extended, then with the hands balled into a fist.
- Scrunch face and then release. Prepare for funny looks from other drivers

The Australia-based IT Channel site, ARN, recently ran a package on SaaS and why it's succeeding now-as opposed to the sad failure of its earlier incarnation, ASPs.
While the feature article is excellent, what are really worth reading are the three articles drawn from a roundtable discussion on SaaS. ARN brought together a group of industry experts to discuss the pros and cons of SaaS, compensation for resellers in a SaaS world and how SaaS will affect systems integrators.
Microsoft, Red Hat, New Lease and Trend Micro were among those who participated in the roundtable. The group identified some under-discussed aspects of the SaaS model, including an eventual end of numbered versioning and the related waiting for bug fixes and new features. Who needs that when you're always plugged into a live platform, rather than deploying a static application?
But what really intrigued me is the group's forecast for systems integrators in the coming application - apocalypse and the apparently inevitable rise of the virtual SaaS machine.
Only one participant - Macquarie Hosting's Stuart Mills-believed SaaS would threaten traditional channels and systems integrators. Everybody else seemed to agree that system integrators would continue to thrive in the SaaS era.
Richard Robards of Intrapower, an Australian on-demand telecommunications company, said systems integrators will be critical to SaaS success because they know the customer base, the application, and how to re-engineer business processes:
"I see SIs having a huge role to play-a provider may enable access to the IP address to the data hosted in their datacentre, but SIs have a fundamental and massive role in making that available. Once it is up and running, it needs an SLA, and who's going to manage that? That is what SaaS and cloud computing is all about."
Systems integrators may matter more in situations where companies are using more than one solution. As Trend Micro's Adam Biviano explained:
"Software-as-a-service products ... can live in isolation to solve specific business problems, ala Salesforce.com, or they can be part of your ongoing business strategy and be integrated into the rest of your business the same way you would integrate two other disjointed pieces of technology .... The traditional SIs still have a role to play."
I don't know who's right. I do know, however, that integration is a tricky issue when deploying SaaS. It will be interesting to see whether SaaS vendors opt to solve the integration piece for themselves, in an effort to build a broader customer base, or opt instead to "outsource" that function to third-party systems integrators.

I love this piece of music. It is so dramatic, recognisable and it makes classical guitar a joy to play and listen to. So many classical pieces out there that are recommended for the guitar are either pretty dull or aren`t recognisable. `Toccata and Fugue in D minor` is so far and away from those pieces. It just sounds amazing.
I think most people will recognise this and whenever I have performed this segment, it has always gone down well.
This arrangement was created by brilliant guitarist George Sakellariou and you can watch his full version here.
It is incredible.
Toccata and Fugue in D Minor Guitar
While other guitarists are hunting around for decent classical pieces to play, you have an amazing one here and it is not that hard to learn. Just take your time and break it up into small chunks.
You may not know the name of it but you will almost certainly know how it sounds. Now learn it, you`ll have loads of fun doing so!

Indecent Assault and Battery
Indecent assault and battery is a serious crime and a conviction carries the possibility of prison time and registration as a sex offender.Elements of Indecent Assault and Battery
In order to convict a defendant of indecent assault and battery, the Commonwealth must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that:
- The alleged victim was at least 14 years old at the time of the alleged offense;
- The defendant intentionally touched the alleged victim without legal justification or excuse;
- The defendant touched a part of the body that is commonly thought private, such as a person's genital area or buttocks, or the breasts of a female; and
- The alleged victim did not consent to the touching.
There is a separate crime of indecent assault and battery on a person under the age of 14. The remaining elements are identical.Common Defenses and Defense Strategies
Indecent assault and battery cases can be defended in a variety of ways.
- Accident - The Commonwealth must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant intended to commit the indecent assault and battery. If the defendant accidentally touched somebody, he or she is not guilty of indecent assault and battery. An "accident" is defined as an unexpected happening that occurs without intention or design on the defendant's part. It is a sudden, unexpected event that takes place without the defendant's intending it.
- Self-Defense - A defendant is permitted to use reasonable force to defend himself or herself. If the defendant (1) reasonably believed he or she was being attacked or was about to be attacked and his or her personal safety was in immediate danger; (2) made every reasonable effort to avoid physical combat before resorting to force; and (3) used no more force than was reasonably necessary in the circumstances, then the defendant must be found not guilty of indecent assault and battery. There is a very similar defense of another person privilege.
- Alleged Victim's Criminal Record - If the alleged victim has a criminal record or a history of violence, Attorney Spring will attempt to present this information to the jury. Criminal convictions are generally admissible within a certain time frame (convictions for misdemeanors within the last five years are admissible; convictions for felonies within the last 10 years are admissible). History of violence evidence (also called "prior bad act" evidence) is generally admissible if the defendant is asserting self-defense. Attorney Spring has extensive experience litigating these types of issues.
- Bias - In most indecent assault and battery cases that go to trial, there is bad blood between the defendant and the alleged victim. The alleged victim ordinarily wants to see the defendant convicted and punished. The alleged victim's desire for revenge will be fully exposed on cross-examination.
Indecent Assault and Battery in the Marriage - Many indecent assault and battery cases involve disputes between people who are married. In Massachusetts, the Commonwealth cannot force an individual to testify against his or her spouse. Therefore, if the alleged victim is married to the defendant and chooses not to testify, the Commonwealth will need to dismiss the case unless it can be proven without the alleged victim. Attorney Spring will aggressively attempt to persuade prosecutors to dismiss these types of cases.
Even if the alleged victim is not married to the defendant, the alleged victim's feelings about the case will be very important to the prosecutor. You need to have an attorney who can present the alleged victim's feelings to the prosecutor and forcefully argue that the case should be dismissed.
Some alleged victims can refuse to testify because they have a Fifth Amendment Privilege. The Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution states that no person can be forced to offer testimony that might incriminate himself or herself in a crime. Therefore, if an alleged victim struck the defendant during the fight or if the alleged victim lied to the police about the facts of the case, that witness can assert his or her Fifth Amendment privilege and refuse to testify against the defendant.
Given the serious consequences that result from a conviction for indecent assault and battery, it is essential that you have an attorney who is experienced in trying these types of cases. Attorney Chris Spring has the necessary experience to aggressively defend your case.

Frequency and characteristics of familial melanoma in Spain: the FAM-GEM-1 Study
Márquez-Rodas I, Martín González M, Nagore E, Gómez-Fernández C, Avilés-Izquierdo JA, Maldonado-Seral C, Soriano V, Majem-Tarruella M, Palomar V, Maseda R, Martín-Carnicero A, Puertolas T, Godoy E, Cerezuela P, Ochoa de Olza M, Campos B, Perez-Ruiz E, Soria A, Gil-Arnaiz I, Gonzalez-Cao M, Galvez E, Arance A, Belon J, de la Cruz-Merino L, Martín-Algarra S; Spanish Multidisciplinary Group of Melanoma (GEM).
Magazine: PloS one
Date: Apr 13, 2015Medical Oncology
Familial history of melanoma is a well-known risk factor for the disease, and 7% melanoma patients were reported to have a family history of melanoma. Data relating to the frequency and clinical and pathological characteristics of both familial and non-familial melanoma in Spain have been published, but these only include patients from specific areas of Spain and do not represent the data for the whole of Spain.
An observational study conducted by the Spanish Group of Melanoma (GEM) analyzed the family history of patients diagnosed with melanoma between 2011 and 2013 in the dermatology and oncology departments.
In all, 1047 patients were analyzed, and 69 (6.6%) fulfilled criteria for classical familial melanoma (two or more first-degree relatives diagnosed with melanoma). Taking into account other risk factors for familial melanoma, such as multiple melanoma, pancreatic cancer in the family or second-degree relatives with melanoma, the number of patients fulfilling the criteria increased to 165 (15.8%). Using a univariate analysis, we determined that a Breslow index of less than 1 mm, negative mitosis, multiple melanoma, and a history of sunburns in childhood were more frequent in familial melanoma patients, but a multivariate analysis revealed no differences in any pathological or clinical factor between the two groups.
Similar to that observed in other countries, familial melanoma accounts for 6.6% of melanoma diagnoses in Spain. Although no differences in the multivariate analysis were found, some better prognosis factors, such as Breslow index, seem more frequent in familial melanoma, which reflect a better early detection marker and/or a different biological behavior.
