We'd like to thank Troop 9349 from Enterprise, Alabama, who spent months making quilts to present to Ft. Ruckers soldiers who have served overseas as part of their Bronze/Silver Award Projects. Working with a local quilt shop, they learned sewing and quilting skills, had lots of fun, and took pride in creating a project from planning to completion. They were part of a special ceremony to present quilts to the soldiers -- one of whom was the father of one of the quilting Girl Scouts!
They were even featured on local television. Here is the link to the broadcast. Check it out!
Once a month on "Thankful Thursday" we invite you to join us in highlighting the work of special individuals who make a difference in Girl Scouting.

Hugo Boss black jacket from Crazy, Stupid, Love. seen with Ryan Gosling (Jacob Palmer)
As Seen on Jacob Palmer (Ryan Gosling) in Crazy, Stupid, Love.
MR. AMAZING: Divorce is never easy but at least Cal Weaver (Steve Carell) has a mentor to get over his gorgeous ex-wife Emily (Julianne Moore). In Crazy Stupid Love, the dapper and much younger Jacob Palmer (Ryan Gosling embarks on a project to get Cal out of dorky yellow golf shirts and into the dating game. But the always single Jacob starts falling for a girl and abandons the dating scene, leaving Cal to question what he really wants out of his life and relationships.
In Crazy Stupid Love, Jacob Palmer (Ryan Gosling) is the quintessential doe-eyed playboy-with-a-twist: a large, tucked away, heart. Despite a predilection for showmanship — the type best exercised in neon Los Angeles lounges — Gosling doubles as an unexpected mentor to the newly-divorced, freshly heartbroken, and much older Cal Weaver (Steve Carell), teaching Weaver the ways of the rebound while learning a bit about true love himself.

grouper, common name for a large carnivorous member of the family Serranidae (sea bass family), abundant in tropical and subtropical seas and highly valued as food fish. There are several genera, notably Epinephelus and Mycteroperca, including some 100 species, most of which are characterized by bright markings that change in color and pattern to match the background. In the West Indies and the Florida Keys are found the yellowfin grouper, noted for its many beautiful color phases; the coney, the smallest (9 in./22.5 cm) grouper, colored a livid reddish gray with blue spots; and the Nassau grouper, the rock hind, and the gag. The largest of the sea bass are the groupers called jewfishes—the black jewfish, or Warsaw grouper, Hemichromis bimaculatus, reaches a length of 6 ft (183 cm) and a weight of 500 lb (225 kg) and the spotted jewfish is even larger (up to 600 lb/270 kg). The red grouper and the black grouper, common N to the Carolinas, form the bulk of the commercial catch; both species weigh up to 50 lb (22.5 kg). Groupers are classified in the phylum Chordata, subphylum Vertebrata, class Osteichthyes, order Perciformes, family Serranidae.

I switched to this brand after they stopped sell Bob's Red Mill. It's a good yeast, better than the packages I have bought in the supermarket. Remember this is not instant yeast so it needs to be activated before adding to dry ingredients.

secret santa person, I just sent part 1 of your gift.

I just ordered part one for my recipient. I am kinda jealous, because I really want it now for myself.
Question for everyone... I bought my gift and I am waiting for it to come to my house to mail it to my SS recipient. I have something else for said person though. So is it better to wait and send everything all together, so send it in waves?
Wow some of you have already sent out your gifts? amazing. Still working on mine - putting some TLC into it, for this special girl

Yes, I think one box is the way to go for sure. That's what I'm doing.
Yeah but when your person is in far away places and you make your purchase online, it is much easier and cheaper to have the retailer ship to your customer directly. I'm not paying 2 shipping fees. Sorry santa-ee.

okey....how did oro made 1st and 2nd his slaves...?
Ona sanja da sam oprao ruke,
Da sam obrijan, da sam lep.
Toplo je na jastuku,
u polusnu.
Mirise na dorucak.
Prijatan glas iz druge sobe se javlja,
Kaze da je pocelo.
Kaze da je pocelo.
The answer could be as simple as killing the summoner, and the Zombies Could just stop fighting. because the summoner is gone. No more summoner, no more bidding. I say it all depends on how the Jutsu works and we don't know the answer yet, one way or the other.
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
But then Sandaime wouldn't have to seal all three of his opponents, but just Orochimaru and after his defeat the 1st and 2nd would have stopped their attack.
I don't think the 3rd would have sealed their souls if it wans't neccessary, knowing the fate of those who are sealed by the shinigami.
Besides I think he could have sealed Orochimaru's entire body and not just the hands if he didn't have to seal the two former Hokages first.
Most likely the summons don't regain their free will after their summoners death.
I am an artist, and my medium is death. I'm about to create my masterpiece :s
Fan of the Rasengan Doujutsu theory, even though it's dead. Although, he does have the special Uzumaki clan blood.
He didn't have enough time and strength left yo kill Oro with the Dead demon seal, so he used what he had left on Orochimaru's hands.
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
Yea I know that, but I just believe he could have sealed the entire body like he intendet to do if he didn't have to seal the first and second Hokage before.
I assume that he lost a lot of energie and simply didn't have enough streangh left to do it a third time, especially since Orochimaru was so stubborn and resisted so much.
It's just an assumption of mine though, he might not have been able to seal him even without sealing the other two Kages first.
Still I don't think he would have done it if it wasn't absolutely neccessary because as far as I remember the fate of the sealed one is quite bad.
(What was it exactly again, the soul never finding rest and piece, fighting with the opponent's soul for all eternity or smoething like that. I'm sorry I don't remember exactly but it doesn't sound that good.)
I guess he would try to spare his old friends if it was somehow possible, wouldn't he?

great product!
Publié par Reviewer3169971 le avr. 09, 2008
This product healed my damaged stomach lining (gastritis)almost immediately--when nothing else worked. An enhanced sense of general well-being and vitality are also benefits. Mostly likely this is because aloe vera is packed with nutrients and beneficial digestive enzymes. A great daily tonic for anyone, but especially those with digestive issues.

Miraculous stuff, possibly in combination with......
Publié par Reviewer1172795 le nov. 02, 2009
If you suffer from acid reflux, seasonal allergies, a stomach ulcer and are sensitive to odors and motion to the point of dizzyness like I have been for all to many years please do yourself a favor and read on. I use a combination of this product with Kyodophilus, acid ease and DGL licorice. No more nexium and nasalcort. I attributed the dizzyness to candida I took these products in an effort to combat all of the above symptoms and must now say WOW. I first started using them all about a year ago and wanted to wait before posting a review. Acid reflux does terrible damage to the gastro intestinal tract and imbalances in stomach flora are responsible for so many ailments its incredible. Mention such products to a doctor and they respectfully look at you like your nuts. I may be overdoing it but........its working for now. Be well.

Lily of the Desert Herbal Stomach Formula
Publié par Reviewer2733730 le mars 13, 2009
A few years ago I was diagnosed with the beginnings of an ulcer by the doctor after a colonoscopy. My stomach hurt at times, especially after eating certain foods. I immediately began using the Lily of the Desert Herbal Stomach Formula and have been symptom free ever since. I recommend this formula for anyone who has stomach ulcers and who does not want to use pharmaceutical drugs to treat it.

Ever since menopause (I'm 55 years of age) weird things seem to happen to my body....The latest being stomach upset and being BLOATED. I also think I may have intestinal uclers because salads always seem to bother me, and they always have....Maybe it's a little IBS. I've done gallbladder cleanses, so I know my gallbladder if fine. So-o-o I thought I'd try this product. Wow!!! Now I can eat salads without any trouble and things are starting to settle down. I'm going to keep using this and see if I get total relief...I definitely feel better, and if I miss a day of using this I notice a big difference. Great price and I love IHerb! :>)

Last week Emery hosted three different teams to town and did fairly well. In a sport usually dominated by urban schools with private coaching and great facilities for year around play, Emery is holding its own and while not always winning, they are usually always competitive.
Last Tuesday, Emery hosted new school Salem Hills and won second doubles and nearly won first doubles. Emery played competitive singles matches. Kaitlin Potter and Courtney Sitterud won their match easily. Melanie Frisbee and Adri Weihing lost a heartbreaker in three sets. They lost the first set 4-6, won the second set 6-3 and then lost the third set 5-7 in a match that took nearly three hours.
On Wednesday, Emery hosted Uintah and won the match 3-2. Weihing and Frisbee won their match 6-3, 6-2 and Sitterud and Potter won their match 6-1, 6-1. Whitney Saupan at first singles, won her match 6-3, 6-4.
On Friday, Emery hosted region foe Juan Diego and lost 4-1. Sitterud and Potter remained undefeated for the season as they beat their opponents 7-6, 4-6 and 6-4. It has been at least five years since Emery last won a match against the Soaring Eagles.
Playing second singles for the Spartans is Stevie Feuers and playing third single for the Spartans is Brittany Hansen.
Emery will continue region competition this week looking forward to the region tournament.

Additional arrest made in meth lab bust
RICHLANDS - A break-up of a methamphetamine lab led to now two people behind bars and a 4-year-old under observation for possible exposure to harmful chemicals.
NCIS aboard Camp Lejeune first received information that meth was being made at the house in Richlands, and they contacted the Onslow County Sheriff's Office due to the location of the lab.
Deputies executed a search warrant at 313 Scranton Court in Richlands where they found several "one pot" meth labs. They say Charity Anglade and a 4-year-old child were inside the home.
The child was transported to the hospital by Onslow County EMS to be evaluated for exposure to meth and the chemicals used for making the drug.
Anglade, 33, was arrested and now faces several charges including the manufacturing of meth and child abuse and neglect. She was placed under a $175,000 bond.
Ibrahim Cruz, 35, was brought in Thursday and also charged in the incident. Deputies say Cruz was living with Anglade and the child.
Neighbors, who did not wish to be identified publicly, said they noticed traffic at Anglade's home during the night.
"We've seen scooters, mo-peds, motorcycles, everything would just go right into her garage, the door would shut, and then they'd go right back out and leave," said one unnamed neighbor.
Other neighbors said Anglade's husband is a U.S. Marine. He was not living in the home for many months, according to residents. Neighbors said that Anglade's 4 year-old daughter is now with her estranged husband, and that the child does not have any serious complications due to the exposure to the drug.
Deputies said more arrests and criminal charges are pending.

Around the League - Feb 18, 2010
Jason Gregor
February 18 2010 03:06PM
Thankfully we will get to see some competitive hockey this Sunday on rivalry day. The last six finalists for the Gold Medal will all play one another. In 1998, Russia lost to the Czechs and they'll battle at 1:00pm MST. In 2002, Canada beat the USA and they'll square off at 5:40 MST while the finalists from 2006, Sweden and Finland, will wrap up the day at 9:00pm
So far the hockey, both the men and women hasn't been great. The women are a two-country race and the preliminaries are unwatchable, unless you are a relative or friend of one of the girls. And the men's games haven't been great, outside of the Czech/Slovakia tilt (more on that later). I don't see a solution on how to improve it moving forward. There have actually been some whispers in Vancouver about the validity of women's hockey remaining an Olympic sport.
Finland, Sweden and Russia need to improve their women's programs or this sport might be in trouble in 2014 or 2018.
Switzerland is improving every year in men's hockey, but they will need to continue developing youngsters before they are considered anything but an upset specialist.
It is too early to tell which of the four top teams, Canada, USA, Sweden and Russia look the best. They all won their first game, and Canada, USA and Sweden don't have a real test until Sunday.
I'm still not a fan of the American's defense, and with Ryan Miller looking a bit fatigued leading up to the break, I just don't see them making it to the final.
While the hockey hasn't been great yet, it will be starting Sunday, I've really enjoyed snowboard cross and short track speed skating. Snowboard cross is highly entertaining cross of speed, guts, contact and great agility. Short track has as much bumping as NASCAR, without the two hour race and endless caution flags.
So far I've really enjoyed the Olympics. I was in awe of the class shown by Alex Bilodeau moments after his memorable gold medal. In that moment for him to show so much class and grace and then raw emotion when asked about his brother Frederic is why I love sports.
Let's hope the final eleven days are just as riveting and exciting.
Ice women of the week
Here are a few more Olympians that are not only skilled but beautiful.
Ashleigh McIvor is a Canadian freestyle skier and will be competing in ski-cross. I've never watched ski-cross, but I will now.
Kristie Leskinen is a freestyle skier and was the first women to complete a 720 rodeo, two rotations, head pointed to earth. She didn't make the 2010 Olympic team, but she is worthy of being in ATL.
And lastly Bia and Branca Feres. They aren't in the winter Olympics, but here is proof why synchronized swimming doubles is better than two-man Luge. These Brazilian beauties would warm up anyone dreary Vancouver day.
Random thoughts
- I bet I could write complete gibberish right now and no one would notice after seeing those beauties.
- Let all the talk begin about how Jaromir Jagr can help a team for the playoff run. Before you get ahead of yourself there are some hurdles. He is still under contract in the KHL. And if he did elect to come here, if a team signed him, he'd need to clear waivers before he could play for them. If he is going to come back to the NHL, and that is a big IF, it will happen in the off-season.
- If the Buffalo Sabres don't add an offensive threat there is no way they can compete in the east. They don't have a twenty-goal man yet, and when you look at the firepower of the Capitals, Penguins, Flyers and Senators I don't see them going anywhere. If the Devils and Sabres meet in the first round it could the lowest scoring series ever.
- Sabres GM, Darcy Regier has always maintained you build your team in the summer and don't deviate from that. That strategy has helped the Sabres develop home-drafted talent, but outside of one Cup run, it hasn't got them very far. I wonder if he'll decide to tweak his mind-set this year.
- If Dominic Moore is worthy of a 2nd round pick two years in a row, why can't Steve Tambellini get a 2nd for Ethan Moreau. Both times Moore was a pending UFA when traded. I know Moreau is a $2 million cap hit next year, but that team that trades for him would be getting his services for the playoff push and next year. Dominic Moore, for only a playoff push, garners a 2nd rounder then I'd like to believe Moreau should the same.
- If Mikka Kiprusoff plays the majority of Finland's games and they get to the semi finals, the Flames could easily miss the playoffs. He has looked fatigued in previous playoffs when he hasn't played in the Olympics, so Flames fans better hope the Fins get knocked out early.
- If Russia wins the gold with 12 forwards and eight D-men and their five-man units I wonder if other teams might look at that strategy rather than dressing one extra forward and defenseman.
- Does Claude Julien keep track of the shootouts? Patrice Bergeron is 3 for 13 and Blake Wheeler is 2 for 13 in the shootout this year. Why are they still shooting? The Bruins have been in 17 shootouts and are 8-9. They've only scored 16 times in 60 shots and you wonder if Julien had let some others shoot if they'd be better. Five for 25 isn't that hard to beat.
- The Canucks have six forwards on pace for 50+ points. Only the Capitals have the same balance amongst six forwards. The Canucks need a D-man and 3rd line grit guy with some skill and they could be a legitimate contender in the west.
- What a great race for the Maurice Richard trophy. The league's two best players, Crosby and Ovechkin, both have 42 goals heading into the final six weeks of the season. Ovechkin is probably the favourite, but Crosby is so competitive I think they will battle neck and neck until the final week.
- I find it laughable when people say that Taylor Hall and Tyler Seguin will only be Steven Stamkos-like and they aren't Crosby or Ovechkin. Stamkos has 35 goals right now and will top 40 in his second season. If Hall or Seguin can produce like him the Oilers and Bruins would be ecstatic.
- I loved the Norway men's curling pants. Dressing with a little flair is good now and then. It takes a self-confident man to pull these off!

Final point
Hey TLP, you were ripping the Canadians and their slogan about Own the Podium, but at least in Canada we can watch the Olympics. NBC's coverage is a disgrace.
I can understand tape delays when the Games are hosted in Asia or Australia when there is time-zone difference, but Canada is in the same time zone. Everyone in the States watches most of their medal performances on tape-delay and after they've already found out via twitter, email or text that an athlete has won. Great decision by NBC.
I guess the USA OWNS the TAPE DELAY. Good on them.
February 18 2010, 03:13PM
You see this stuff about NBC?
Asking the guy who he was and what country he was from IMMEDIATELY AFTER HE WON THE FREAKING GOLD MEDAL!
Kudos NBC on your journalism.
two rotations and head pointed to the earth indeed
February 18 2010, 03:30PM
One thing I miss that isn't in the olympics is those brazilian women.
Im slightly surprised Tiger missed those
February 18 2010, 03:35PM
As for the Moore worth second Moreau should be worth that. Teams are really turned off by that contract next year. Contender don't want that so now you limit yourself to the borderline teams, some of which have internal caps.
Well Hall or Seguin only good as Stamkos, I guess we might as well dump that pick now then.
Assuming Horcoff leading the green jacket still.
Edit: I missed most your show and left off when you guys were talking about women's hockey, any ideas to what to do with the women's hockey?
Edit #2: Oh wow, just realized those are brazilians. I miss the other sides of them.
Not that I think Jagr would come to the NHL this season either, but currently him clearing waivers would be a small advantage to the Oilers. Being in the basement has a couple of perks; aging European for rent, anyone?
So I just saw that I can renew my seats for next year and the Oilers again raised the prices, about $200 for the year. On principal it just kills me.....Can you raise some attention on this issue.
February 18 2010, 03:47PM
Remember when DP was near the top in goals and assists? That was awesome.
February 18 2010, 03:48PM
two rotations and head pointed to the earth indeed
After looking at those pictures, nothing's pointing towards the earth. *cough*
February 18 2010, 03:51PM
"I bet I could write complete gibberish right now and no one would notice after seeing those beauties."
...I um...I'm sorry, what?
So I just saw that I can renew my seats for next year and the Oilers again raised the prices, about $200 for the year. On principal it just kills me.....Can you raise some attention on this issue.
Would you like him to raise some attention to this BEFORE or AFTER you happily pay for the seats anyway?
February 18 2010, 04:02PM
After looking at those pictures, nothing's pointing towards the earth. *cough*
Well played...and you're not alone.
*Cough, cough*
I guess the Canadian media is really shoving it up the backsides of the US media!
The Oilers couldn't claim him on waivers and then trade him. He would have to clear waivers again before a trade would go through. That rule is in place to prevent a team making an under-the-table deal with the 30th place team. So being in the basement gives the Oil zero advantage regarding Jagr.
What if they kept him though? Personally I've never been on board with signing Jagr (at least to the crazy contract the Oilers attempted to), but people are often talking about wanting Jagr to come here.
Do you think the Oilers would want Jagr here? And if so, what about making a trade with another team (swap picks, for example) and that team then signs him (stay with me here..). He hits waivers, and the Oilers then claim him first and keep him here. He would have to be making paltry sums of money for that idea to even make sense (I wouldn't want Jagr here during a rebuild, unless he comes cheap and is brought in with intention to teach the youngins a thing or two). Just bouncing some oddball ideas off your head.
edit: of course that also hinges on Jagr actually wanting to play in the 30th best team in the NHL.
February 18 2010, 04:07PM
Yes Horcoff leads at -29, O'Sullivan is -28, Brind'Amour is -27, Nilsson is -21 and Staios is -19...The Oilers are well represented with four guys in bottom seven of +/-.
~odd for by far and away the worst team in the league~

Doh! Didn't Wanye already have a talk with you once today about interfering with creative ideas by using logic and knowledge and stuff? Don't let this become a habit.~

Speaking of hot Olympians, did anyone else sit there and watch Great Britain take on Sweden in women's curling for like 3 hours yesterday purely because of Eve Muirhead?
RE: Jagr
I'd be stunned to see Jags sign ANYWHERE this year. I would not at all be stunned to see him in Edmonton next season. Of course, not until after the Kovalchuk overtures.
February 18 2010, 09:55PM
@cableguy - 2nd Tier Fan
If they signed him he'd still have to clear waivers around the league, and since they signed him they wouldn't get first crack to claim him, so unless everyone else balked at JJ then he wouldn't be an Oiler. But he won't sign this spring, and I doubt he signs in the summer, unless someone offers him big money.
You missed what I was getting at... I said to make a deal with another team.. have that team attempt to sign him. He goes through waivers, we pick him up on waivers, since we're likely going to be sitting at the bottom of the league.
Okay, that would be a shaddy way to do it, but people might wonder why the Oilers would pick up a 38-year-old when they are battling for the 1st overall pick. It makes ZERO sense to sign him now. At least from where I sit.
No arguing that ;) As I mentioned in the original post, I've actually never been on board with signing Jagr, just wondering if it would be a possibility, since people in Oil country seem to be in love with the guy.
It would only really make sense if he were signing here for cheap. And really, I think it makes even less sense for him to come here anyways, especially if he's not on the top line.
It's olympic break, and needed something to talk about. lol
OMG check this out.

"If [Jagr] is going to come back to the NHL, and that is a big IF, it will happen in the off-season."
When I read something like this I tend to assume the writer has some kind of inside-track reason for such an opinion. You know, not just his gut feeling. But in this case that's ALL Gregor had, but because this morning (Feb. 20th) Jagr said he's eyeing a return to the NHL.
Sports writers tend to blur the line of journalism and editorial quite often, so I guess I should expect things like this. It's just a little annoying, is all.

I don't see an issue here, Jagr said himself it will be in next year if he makes the move back to the NHL.
@OB1 Team Yakopov - F.S.T.N.F
"and that is a big IF"
To me this implies that the big "if" is whether Jagr would come back to the NHL at all, and I believe that's how it's suppose to read. This is proved to be outlandishly incorrect within days of the statement.

Setting goals has made a major difference in their financial life
My Story: Setting Goals
contributed by EF
Related Articles
Setting Monetary Goals
My Story: Achieving Financial Goals
My Story: The SMART Goal System
Last year in January I listed my major goals on a whiteboard that is in my home office so I could look at it every day. By April, I had actually accomplished all but a couple. Those I hadn't accomplished showed considerable progress was being made. I ended up typing up the goals that I was still working on, added a couple new ones, and printed it out to read at my desk every day. Then I erased the dry erase board, so I could use it for other things.
Now I am in the process of putting together my version of a vision board. I went to an office supply store and bought a white three-section presentation board very inexpensively. I'm clipping pictures and words that inspire me and relate to my goals. Once done, it will have a prominent place in my office, so I can view it regularly and be motivated to keep taking action.
Another thing that has helped me in setting goals and accomplishing them is spending time every day when I first get up and go to bed reflecting on what I really want and "seeing it" in my head. That was difficult at first but has gotten easier with practice. I also spend time being silent and letting ideas come to me. When I have ideas come to me, I write them down immediately in a cheap notebook bought for that purpose. Ideas come to me during sleep, when I am taking walks, in the shower, etc. The more I pay attention to them the more aware I have become when a good idea or opportunity is presented. I journal about a lot of things, including being more specific with my goals. Elaborating on them makes them even clearer in my mind and motivates me. I break down a goal into baby steps and then take action. I do put dates on when I want things accomplished, but am flexible when things come up that push them back. Also, sometimes my goal changes or I decide it isn't something I really want. Again, being flexible is important. One of my goals was moving to a specific house. I wrote an entire story as if I was already living there with my husband and three cats. I did move into the house and it really is much like that story but even better!
I write down the things that I want to accomplish each day. Some of them involve my goals and I make sure that these are listed as priority to get done first. Self-care is essential in being able to accomplish goals. The reason is that if you don't care for yourself first, your self-esteem will be low and you won't be able to help yourself or anyone else. This isn't being snobby or egotistical. It's about keeping yourself in the best physical, mental, and emotional state possible so you are more effective.
Positive affirmations are helpful, as is positive self-talk. Writing down accomplishments is important, so that on "down" days, I can look back to see how much I achieved. Reading things that are inspiring and helpful on an ongoing basis is valuable. Ongoing learning of new skills and a broad range information is a big help in achieving goals as well.
Along with this, avoid the gloom and doom naysayers who would bring your spirits down. If there are people in your life like this that you have to be around at times, be aware of this and set up boundaries for yourself. Find positive people who are accomplishing things to be your mentors and friends. Hang around supportive people who will encourage you and also give you a push when you need it. Listen to your self-talk and work on making it more positive. All of us have times when we just aren't at our best or experience what we perceive as failure. Realize this is normal in our human experience and that failure shows we are trying. Look for the lessons when this happens. Take risks. It's necessary to learn to be more comfortable with being uncomfortable sometimes in order to succeed and have a fulfilling life. Comfort zones need to be expanded. It isn't easy, but it is well worth it.
Lastly, pay attention to all the environments you spend time in for home, work, and play. Decorate your space in a way that resonates with you and makes you feel good to be in it. Realize your uniqueness and your tastes and let everything you do reflect them in the foods that you eat, music that you listen to, clothes that you wear, the colors that you choose, etc. Use all of your physical senses plus your intuition to guide you.
Goals should be made in many categories. People who have passion and a lot of interests in life tend to not get bored and are happier, more successful and satisfied with their life. If setting goals and working towards them is not your thing, you are just letting life happen to you. That is not nearly as fulfilling and wonderful as experiencing the amazing life you can have once you begin planning it to suit you. Do not let the "I don't have enough time" excuse get in the way of setting goals and taking action. What's important to you in life always should take top priority in your life. It's not easy when you first start to make the necessary changes, but it does get easier. Once you do this consistently, you will experience many "magical moments." You will have things come together for you easily at times. In fact, they will come together in better ways than you could have imagined. I have heard it said "aim for the stars and you might hit the moon." If you don't aim for anything in life, then you are settling for a mediocre experience. Choose wisely.

Archive for the 'SAMUEL B. ROBERTS' Tag
Falsifying the Impossible.
By CTR1(SW) H. Lucien Gauthier III
The illustrious Charles Berlemann and LT Hipple (pictured on left, in a way) started up a conversation on facebook earlier based on Dr. Holmes' latest at The Diplomat, How Not to Prepare for War.
Our conversation centered around whether or not Dr. Holmes is correct in asserting that that peace time militaries shy away from making scenario's too difficult, and whether or not our Navy should "make the simulation harder than real life."
My reply to the good LT was that I agree with Dr. Holmes, we should be making our training harder than real life. But, I also want to know what the logical limit to such a line of thinking is–that we need to falsify 'harder than life' before we can say what our training should really be.
The Kobayashi Maru is a striking example from science fiction of a no-win scenario used to train a ship's crew. But, such training immediately runs into the limits of human endurance already strained by the daily routine of shipboard life.
Many moons ago, aboard the SAN ANTONIO, I placed my first suggestion in the CO's box. I suggested that we run DC drills that ran about a day or more. The COLE, SAMUEL B. ROBERTS, and STARK all had GQ set for longer than any DC drill I had ever ran.
The thing about it though, all those ships are afloat today, or made it to their 'naturally decided' DECOM date. So, while I point to those examples of why we should train harder, the examples already show training programs that were (at least back then) able to train their crew well enough so that the ship didn't have to be given up.
So, what is it?.. Is our DC training a mere shadow of what it once was? It is only half what it should be? Or, does the fact that the US hasn't lost a ship in decades mean that we don't need to radically alter our training paradigm today?

I personally couldn't think of a more badass way for Aizen to look. He reminds me of the Silver Surfer.
The invisible and the non-existent look very much alike.
That sheet seemed to terrify Ichigo.. Liked how the spoiler said it was worse than tousens lol.
... If aizen's final transformation isnt completely badass imma be sad...
Yoruichi kept this chapter alive..
after the last chap. this one was boring
and aizen still being complete unhurt is also just lame
Sig & Ava = Jaiden
If they can withdraw from this battle at some point, Urahara should make like 3 more hougyokus for himself, Yoruichi and Ichigo so they can beat that smug smirk off of Aizen's face already. I HATE that he never -ever- gets hurt.

Common sense would give you an answer in two and a bit words: He can't.
But this is a manga and it's the title characters fight, he ain't loosing/dying. Anything could happen but in the end the Leaf will have avoided destruction and most/all main characters will be alive. Gods puppets will somehow have died(somehow but probably not all) but his original will still be somewhere.

Locking Down The Future
First, they are going to have a ton of key guys hit arbitration at the same time. They aren't going to sign all of their roster to these kind of deals, but by locking in some of the soon to be arbitration eligible players, they can focus on those future budgets. A huge deal for a team with resources like the Royals. Map out the future with low risk, high reward contracts and then shift the focus to the ultra key guys. If they sign, great. If not, the team still has the payroll flexibility to absorb the arbitration raises.
Second, they are targeting the easier guys to sign. Again, smart move. Escobar, like Sal Perez before him, were international free agents who signed for small bonuses. They lack the fiscal stability a guy like Eric Hosmer has, who banked $6 million before the ink was dry on his contract. The long term deals protect those players for the future. They have the motivation to sign. It makes all kinds of sense: Get the players under contract who benefit the most from inking long term deals, project a sense of commitment to the future and then bring on board everyone else.
Back to The Shortstop Jesus: We know that Escobar has some work to do offensively. In his two seasons as a regular, he has yet to post a wOBA greater than last summer's .282. Yikes. Remember back to his player profile where I illustrated that Escobar's approach at the plate changed on an almost weekly basis. If he's going to improve with the bat, he's going to need to figure out what works best for him and stick with it. He has to understand there are going to be streaks in his offensive game. Stay on track and the length of those streaks should shorten and we will see a more consistent hitter. We're not asking for magic. If he could somehow post a .310 OBP and .300 wOBA, I'd be thrilled. Thrilled.
Yet, for all the issues with the bat, it's the glove that got Escobar this contract. Last year, he had a 2.2 fWAR, built entirely on the strength of his defense. It's his exceptional defense which is played at an exceptionally important position. And remember, anything above a 2.0 fWAR can be considered a solid everyday player. On the open market, Fangraphs values that kind of shortstop at around $10 million. Here's how the Royals are breaking down his contract:
2012 – $1 million
2013 – $3 million
2014 – $3 million
2015 – $3 million
Escobar would have been eligible for arbitration beginning in 2013, so they're committing $9 million to his arbitration years. By comparison, they're paying Perez $7.5 million for his arbitration years. The team holds the options for 2016 and 2017, which are the first two years of his free agency time. If exercised, he'll earn $5.25 million in '16 and $6.5 million in '17.
The SS Jesus can save runs. That's what the Royals are paying for over the next several years. If his bat can come around, the rest is just gravy. Hopefully, Perez's knee injury isn't severe and he can make a complete recovery. With Perez and Escobar anchoring the defense up the middle for the next four to six years, the Royals have a solid foundation of glove work. That's how winning teams are built.
Other notes from Surprise:
— With all the bad karma hovering over Surprise this week, I thought it would be prudent to point out a positive: Jonathan Broxton's outing on Wednesday. In his first game action of the spring, Broxton was scintillating, throwing nine pitches, eight of them for strikes. And the ball he threw was in the dirt on an 0-2 pitch – clearly fishing for the punchout.
Even better than the control, was the fastball. Broxton was living around 94 mph with his fastball and on his strikeout pitch of Casper Wells, he tickled 96 mph on the stadium gun. Impressive velocity for a guy with his injury history. And even better than the velocity (yeah, it gets even better) was the fact that 96 mph pitch was a rising fastball that freaking exploded. Maybe my judgement is clouded (it was my first live baseball action of the spring) but that pitch just looked filthy. Wells had no chance.
From the Brooks Baseball player cards, this is a look at Broxton's declining velocity the last couple of years. After his surgery, if he can throw like he did on Wednesday, that could be the bullpen bargain of the year.
The only question we'll have is how will Broxton recover. It was only nine pitches, but he'll need to be able to bounce back and hit the mound again. Since it's spring, the Royals obviously have the luxury of taking it slow, but at some point they'll need to test his power of recovery.
— Kelvin Herrera is having a solid spring with another strong outing on Thursday. He struck out four Dodgers in two innings and now has nine whiffs in six innings of work. Late arrival Jose Mijares had a typical inning of work… Three batters faced and three flyball outs. The good news with Mijares is he has yet to walk a batter in just under five innings of work. Last year, if you remember, his SO/BB ratio was an even 1.
— According to Bob Dutton, the Royals are looking at adding some catching depth. While it's possible the Royals jump soon, I'd be surprised if they acted this weekend. They need to wait until Perez has his surgery on Friday and maybe even get a post-op report or two. If you bring in a guy like Ivan Rodriguez, you sign him for the full year. There's no need to commit those kinds of resources to a veteran if Perez can make it back before June. Besides, this team isn't built for 2012… The focus is on 2013. If the Royals didn't go out and deal for another starting pitcher this winter, there's no reason to think they'll jump the gun for a temporary backstop.
Still, the Brayan Pena/Max Ramirez tandem does not exactly inspire confidence. I'm not sure either one of those guys actually owns a catcher's mitt.

Posted on 12/01/2012 10:51:03 AM PST by NYerEdited on 12/02/2012 6:56:31 AM PST by Admin Moderator. [history]
The first same-sex marriage at West Points Cadet Chapel will be celebrated Saturday when a military veteran and her partner exchange vows roughly one year after President Obama ended the military policy banning openly gay people from serving in the military.
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
The Republic is dead.
No celebration here.
OMG tell me this is not true.
Join the Tea Party, go to your local Republican party meetings,stiffen their spines, raise hell about the total chaos in Republican party organization in the last election, help to get rid of the Consultant Cabal, and join their 'outreach' programs, for Hispanics and women, which are probably full of lazy do-nothing parasites, and make them work.
We have no other chance. None.
We might as well hoist the white flag against all our world enemy's. we are a laughing stock
Yes it is.
I'd just as soon shut down West Point
Really disgusting...
What will they do when that MP wants to 'marry' his(her) 'Working Dog', so it can be properly provided for after its Military Life is over?
My morbid curiosity 'forced' me to look at the article (to see what these two 'history making winners look like) and it states that they live in NJ where such a union is illegal and the Military does NOT give them permission to 'marry' and find that the one is a graduate of the FCWOAB at West Point.
As someone else has said, "America has looked EVIL in the face and embraced it".
Fulton looks like Janet Napolitano, hair and all. (spit on them)
I wish this would just "fade away". I cannot even conceive how our famous military leaders of the past would have reacted to this news were they alive. I am thinking specifically of MacArthur, Patton, Pershing, Lee, Jackson and JEB Stewart amongst others.
Another sad day in our not to be much longer history.
Gen. Patton would so pleased. /s
"Its sick outside and getting sicker" — Bob Grant famous NYC talk show personality
Homosexuals will promote themselves up the ranks till they are running the military and then a future Obama will use them to seize total control of the country.
I don't think this country is going to last much longer, they have bankrupted us economically and morally
Put a fork in her.
She's done.
They are knowingly defiling everything they can find that we hold in respect.
They are knowingly defiling everything they can find that we hold in respect.
This is extremely upchuck worthy. Glad I haven't eaten. The MSM spokes stooges will be in gloat mode as they report this today. The jug eared bathhouse boy is back in and we (moral and responsible and God fearing Americans) are going to pay the price. God means nothing, Paganism means nothing. Sodomy means nothing. Sodom and Gomorrah means nothing in America so buckle up and prepare
That's about the size of it.
Mothers, don't let your daughters become soldiers, because they will be set upon by the homosexual mafia that controls the female officer corps.
what makes ya say that...../sarc
Well, isn't that special...
Go Navy Sink Army!
What makes you think Annapolis is any better?
I used to believe in the service academies. Honor Codes routinely flouted. What do they mean any more? They may as well be closed.
Why is Fox publicizing this?
America has been used and abused. I don't think she will take it much longer. Tornadoes and floods and the 'first time' occurrences don't seem to be heard as a warning.
And, to borrow a phrase from Douglas MacArthur, a million ghosts in olive drab, in brown khaki, in blue and gray, howl in mournful despair at their wasted sacrifice.
"However, the Defense Department has made clear the policy change does not constitute its endorsement of gay marriage."
The hell if it doesn't!!
Evil Americans not America. Evil hates good.
William Flax
NO! "I was young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread." Pslam 37:25
Hopefully, their alumni feel the same way. Donations $0.
How can a non-religious "marriage" be conducted in a Chapel which is a religious building - this building is used to conduct worship and other Biblically recognized ceremonies, one of which is not the joining together of a same-sex couple in marriage which is only defined in the Bible as that between a man and a woman. This is the misuse of the Chapel notwithstanding its government ownership.
A disgusting display.
Can the bar get any lower? We know we're in trouble when the vilest among us are celebrated in the not only in the public square, but in the very house that considers them an abomination.
Humans cannot defeat nature, no matter how hard they try. Nature WILL win this battle, and what it does to these misfits will not be pretty. Then, we can have a celebration in the public square.
I am glad my father and uncles are no longer alive. They would blow a fuse over this.
Ooh, haze me! Haze me! I'm a new cadet and I so want to be hazed!/must clean fingers off after typing this.
"They are knowingly defiling everything they can find that we hold in respect."
Maybe we ought to hold different things in respect; I'd be really upset if they did this in a Catholic Church, but the fact that their doing it in a (deliberately) secular atmosphere makes it irrelevant. The state has thrown off it's sheeps' clothing and revealed itself as a wolf.
Put a fork in her.
Shes done."
HAppened years ago; now groups simply try to take care of "their people" (on both sides). Patriots probably realized this when BJ Clinton beat 2 WWII veterans in races for president.
The long grey line is now a simply fabulous chorus line of hot pink and teal marching... nay, sashaying in a pass in review in elegant purple and mauve stilleto heels. Can you say Fab-u-lous!
And that's just the men.
The psychotic 1% and their overlords are now gaily enjoying the debauchery.
This may be "the abomination of desolation spoken of in the Book of Daniel." Those were the words of Jesus, referring to some future event after which a huge catastrophe would occur.
Other internet people have made a note of this, that gay marriage is 'the abomination of desolation' but, standard Bible commentary on 'the abomination of desolation' is that it represents the pagan Romans putting up statues of their gods to worship in the Temple of Jerusalem around 60 AD.
Let the reader decide: Which is the greater abomination?
If you have been inside this wonderful chapel, it is so impressive, as is West Point, that it defies description. The whole campus, especially this building, embodies virtue and morality more than anything. You get the impression West Point is a religious shrine. And this chapel is the greatest focus.
For these two lesbians and their misguided family and friends (and the officiating pastor) to do this is inflammatory and needs to be protested.
Shame on these heathens and shame on the officer corps of the USA.
May they burn in hell.
It's no wonder that secession talk is so prevalent.
There's really no America left worth saving. I'm so glad my ancestors who gave so much for the country are no longer around to see what's become of it.
Is it still too late to offer the place to the British?

They say that smell arouses the strongest sense of nostalgia. Clearly, "they" haven't seen the Freestyle USA Shark Classic Mid Silicone Watch. This little piece of history hearkens back to the days of Hypercolor and Miami Vice, when Poison ruled the airwaves and MTV actually played music videos. Freestyle gave the Shark Classic Mid a bodaciously '80s color scheme to match all your Ocean Pacific and Body Glove gear, with a Mid size case that's perfect for smaller wrists. Living up to its name, the Shark is water resistant up to 330 feet, making it the ideal wrist watch of surfers. So if all this is making you a little misty, it's either because you sprayed too much Rave in your hair this morning, or you're remembering how totally rad to the max your first Shark Watch made you feel. Make it happen again.
