* Children who struggle with hunger are sick more often, recover more slowly, and are more likely to be hospitalized, at an average cost of $12,000 per pediatric stay.
* They are more likely to experience headaches, stomachaches, colds, ear infections and fatigue.
* Children who face hunger are more susceptible to obesity and its harmful health consequences as children and as adults.
* Undernourished children 0-3 years of age cannot learn as much, as fast or as well because their condition changes the fundamental architecture of the brain and central nervous system.
* Lack of enough nutritious food impairs a child's ability to concentrate and perform well in school.
* Children who don't get enough nutritious food are more susceptible to the negative effects of skipping breakfast on their ability to think and learn. Those effects include memory, test scores, tardiness and absenteeism.
* Children who regularly do not get enough nutritious food to eat have significantly higher levels of behavioral, emotional and academic problems and show increased aggression and anxiety.
* Teens who regularly do not get enough to eat are more likely to see a psychologist, be suspended from school and have difficulty getting along with other kids.
* Teachers report higher levels of hyperactivity, absenteeism and tardiness among children who don't get enough nutritious food.

Steph xx
So excited for christmas 2012
all the deco in my house goes up on saturday.
Oh I'm so jealous reading about all the decorating. I still have to wait a little.
Friday evening we are going to my boyfriends sister
Friday night I'm going out dancing with a friend and a friend of hers
Saturday night a friend is coming over for a game night.
The rest I don't know yet.


text: Anyway, one of my favorite past times is to go out to eat good food. I eat out frequently and visit a handful of restaurants often. Good service matters to me. I don't care what sort of education the person has I'm looking for good service. When I leave a good tip for good service I don't do it begrudgingly, I'm more than happy to pay for the service I receive. If you want Carl's Jr. quality service in a nice restaurant then let's do away with tipping and the change will happen quickly. Some people ahve what it takes to be good servers and some don't, add the tipping system and you've now added the critical component of motivation to provide good service. It's a system I'm happy for.

DUBAI, U.A.E.,2nd August 2012: Emirates, one of the world's fastest growing airlines, continues its network expansion with the announcement of the start of daily services to Phuket in Thailand.
Phuket, the largest island in Thailand located in the Andaman Sea, will, from 10th December, become Emirates'second destination in Thailand.
Operated by a three-class Airbus aircraft, EK378 will depart Dubai at 1245hrs and arrive at Phuket International Airport at 2155hrs. The return flight, EK379 will depart at 0035hrs the following day and arrive at Dubai International Airport at 0435hrs.
"Emirates is looking forward to the launch of our non-stop, daily service to Phuket, which will be just in time for the holiday season. We have always had a strong affiliation with Thailand and have been operating flights to Bangkok since 1990," said Tim Clark, President Emirates Airline.
"Thailand is an important market for Emirates, we currently operate four daily flights between Dubai and Bangkok, including one with our Airbus A380 aircraft. We are confident that Phuket will prove a popular destination for our passengers, especially those from the UAE, Middle East and Europe," added Mr Clark.
Phuket will become the 15th route launch for the airline this year and the second in South East Asia following on from Ho Chi Minh City in June.
Emirates Holidays, the airline's tour operating arm, offers tailor made holidays to Phuket, that include a hand-picked selection of five, four and three star hotels. Its annual brochure, A World of Choice, highlights many of Phuket's attractions from lush vistas and the turquoise waters of its sandy western shoreline, to cultural landmarks such as Chalong Temple and old Phuket Town.
Emirates offers its customers in all cabins meals prepared by gourmet chefs, award-winning service from the airline's international cabin crew recruited from over 120 countries, as well as ice, the airlines' entertainment system which offers over 1,400 channels of entertainment and the facility to send and receive emails and text messages.
With a fleet of 178 aircraft and already the largest A380 operator in the world, with 22 in service, Emirates currently flies to 125 destinations in 74 countries.

Style # 217645
Enamored by this Tasseled Suede Bootie that features golden accents and a simple platform. The part you'll love best is its zippered stretch detail sides. It makes this sophisticated little boot the most comfortable heel yet!
- Synthetic upper, synthetic outsole
- Heel height: 5" (12.7 cm) with a 1" (2.54 cm) platform
- Imported
Rated 5 out of 5�by 3 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by GlizNGlam perfect bootie I bought in tan. fits true to size. super comfy..pretty shoe.. a must have. keep shoes like this coming bebe.. April 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by true2truex8 Cute Bootie Very cute, sexy shoe. I loved it from the minute I saw it. Pretty comfy for the heel height. Only issue I had is that my ankles are really small, and so there was a gap between my ankle and the shoe. I wear them with jeans, so it's not a big deal. January 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by FlawlessJEC Perfect bootie! This bootie is simply perfect! Sky high but totally walkable. The elastic at the ankle makes it the perfect opening because there is no extra zipper or strap so it accommodates any size ankle. The heel is 5" with a 1 1/4" platform. Great material too...definitely recommend! November 19, 2013

In the Dec. 8 meeting, Mayor Gil Bowden informed the council of a recent event concerning the Millsite Reservoir dam. Several engineers and a representative from Washington, D.C were at the site and began an evaluation of the problems and possible solutions for the loss of storage capacity in Millsite. Some possible solutions are to raise the dam or dredge the reservoir. One point to be considered is the price of dredging the site would be considerably more than building a new dam. But, if the dam is raised, the state park would be lost. Another solution is to raise the dam only five feet. This can be accomplished without harm to the state park, but the question remains as to how long this solution would work before more sediment is deposited and more action would be necessary.
"Whatever decision is made concerning which repairs to complete, the storage capacity of Millsite will increase. The decision may not be made for a year, but we need to plan for the eventuality that in the future the amount of water allotted per share may increase also. Does Ferron City want to continue to purchase water shares as they come available or do we have enough now?" asked Mayor Bowden.
The council entered into a lengthy discussion about future projects and the possibilities for growth in Ferron. The consensus following the discussion was to put a hold on purchases until the decisions are made and the winter conditions can be analyzed.
A concern was raised about a city drainage ditch which has been filled in by a private landowner. Councilman Joe Trenery informed the council that this particular drainage ditch provides drainage for 400 South and the fairgrounds. "The city is liable for the drainage and if a problem arises during next spring's run-off, there could be repercussions," said Trenery. Mayor Bowden said he would look into the situation and get if rectified.
In another matter concerning the fairgrounds, the council was informed that there are 12-13 horses in stalls at the fairgrounds for which there is no stall rent being collected. Mayor Bowden and Councilman Trenery are looking into contacting the owner of the animals and resolving the problem.
Councilperson Melinda MECCAriello requested information concerning the youth city council. The youth are wishing to hold an activity and need to know about the insurance coverage for such an activity. They wish to have an ice block party. Brenda Bingham will research the insurance and inform Councilperson MECCAriello.
Councilperson MECCAriello informed Mayor Bowden and the council that the signage for the ATV routes will be completed in the spring when the weather is warmer. Mayor Bowden asked about the mounting of the signs. MECCAriello stated that Mark H Williams will provide the funding for mounting the signs, and he will also provide a crew to do the installation work.
Councilperson Jo Sansevero reported about the town Christmas party. "It was a great success. We appreciate everyone who helped make the party so great. I have had a lot of positive feedback from residents, and have many ideas and we will be bigger and better next year. Again, I want to thank everyone for their help," said Councilperson Sansevero.
"I'm sure Santa has a tender lap. More than 300 children climbed on his knee to have a talk with him during the party," stated Mayor Bowden.
Tiffany Larsen, an Emery High student and Ferron resident, has been invited to attend the Congressional Leadership Conference in Washington, D.C. in June of 2006. She requested a service project for the city that will help her with the fund raising to accept this invitation. The council took the matter under advisement and will respond at a later date.
Lou Sansevero requested the council consider allowing Larsen help with the general plan for the city. The formulation of this plan is underway, and soon the committee will need help preparing the questionnaires and getting them to each resident. Following the return of the questionnaires, a tabulation of the responses will be required. Sansevero stated the grant which has been awarded to complete this general plan for the city will pay the wages of those involved in the process.
Councilperson Sansevero informed the council that at the next meeting she will present a revised rental policy concerning city facilities. "The current policy needs some serious work and revision, and I am doing research and will have a proposal at the next meeting," stated Councilperson Sansevero.
Councilman Trenery presented five residents for appointment to the planning commission. Those approved were Kern Behling, Dale Roper, Vickie Shreve, Gerald Stotler and Kent Wadley.
Councilperson MECCAriello said the fund-raisers for playground equipment to install in the lower park have raised $2,000. She has researched and ordered several pieces of equipment, including swings, a slide, and a toy. The equipment will arrive in the next two-three weeks, and installation will take place in the spring.
Lou Sansevero introduced a checklist which the planning commission has formulated concerning subdivisions in Ferron City. He explained there has been some confusion about the requirements for a property owner to subdivide a portion of land. The planning commission has put together this checklist to be given out to help the landowner through the process. As the steps are completed in accordance to Ferron's ordinance, the landowner checks it off and moves on to the next step.
Councilman Randy Fox reported on an assignment given at the previous council meeting. He has looked into the compensation for EMTs made by the county. There are two statewide meetings for EMTs held each year. The county will pay for the EMT to attend one of those meetings at a rate of $60 a day with a maximum of three days. This $180 is to pay for the lodgings, travel expenses, meals and registration fees for the conference. He stated that Sgt. Martin Wilson said this figure has been the same for the past 20 years without a raise. "This puts a hardship of the EMTs in Emery County to attend and receive the added training that the conferences provide," said Councilman Fox.
The next Ferron City Council meeting will be held Dec. 22 at 7 p.m.

Soft Law

Stanford Law Review, Forthcoming
U of Chicago, Public Law and Legal Theory Working Paper No. 213
Soft law consist of rules issued by law-making bodies that do not comply with procedural formalities necessary to give the rules legal status yet nonetheless may influence the behavior of other law-making bodies and of the public. Soft law has been much discussed in the literatures on international law, constitutional law, and administrative law, yet congressional soft-lawmaking, such as the congressional resolution, has received little attention. Congressional soft law affects behavior by informing the public and political institutions about the intentions and policy preferences of Congress, which are informative about future hard law as well as of Congress's view of the world, and thus relevant to the decision-making of various political agents as well as that of the public. Congressional soft law is important for a range of topics, including statutory interpretation and constitutional development. Other types of soft law - international, constitutional, and judicial - are compared.

You know the fall season and pheasant hunting is upon us when the Elmo DUPs have their pheasant hunters lunch and breakfast. This long standing tradition in Elmo raises money for the DUPs to operate and do community service projects. One of their projects was the entrance sign to the Elmo cemetery. The DUPs pick a different project to raise money for each year.
The pheasant hunters and non-hunters alike seem to enjoy the chance to meet together for a big breakfast and lunch featuring the fine cooking of the Elmo DUPs. Homemade soups and pies as well as super cheeseburgers and a farmers breakfast awaited those who came out to support the DUPs.

"The shoes looks exactly like the picture above. Thick sole for comfort which is good. The tough shoe tongue get into way making it a little uncomfortable. It is better to readjust the shoe tongue to make you feel comfortable, not sore. I was surprised that I got nice comments from people about my first Puma pair."

She's had "no morning sickness," she says.
Kim Kardashian's pregnancy has been fairly easy for her so far.
Hitting the red carpet Monday night at her Las Vegas New Year's Eve event at 1OAK Nightclub, the reality star told Us Weekly, "I have felt good. I haven't had any morning sickness, but it still isn't the easiest."
She told Entertainment Tonight, "I wouldn't say that it's been easy. When people say that pregnancy is, like, fun and they love it, I would have to disagree. From this stage on, it does become easier and funner, but it's adjusting. ... It's not as easy as people think. It is a little painful. There's a lot of growing pains. But I heard it's all worth it, so I'm looking forward to that."
Her focus right now? 2013. "This new year is just about being happy and healthy. It's going to be such a great year. Really calm. I'm really excited."

I live in an 85 year old house, with mostly old pipes. The water pressure is low. If we are using a shower and
flush the toilet, the cold water in the shower goes down to a trickle.
Upon investigating my pipes, I noticed that I have a 1 inch pipe coming in from the city water main, but
Is the solution increasing the size of our pipes through out the house?
Thanks for your help.

A week or two ago I tweeted the following, "If you were a solicitor, what would you use Twitter for". I did this because I was visiting a solicitors that day and wanted to show both the power of crowd sourcing but also what other people's ideas were. I was pretty overwhelmed by the response to be honest, receiving over 25 replies before I'd even got to my meeting.
So this got me thinking, why not start a new blog series called "If I were a…" The idea is that every month or so I'll crowd source a blog post on a different industry and credit everyone that takes the time to write back and participate.
So any solicitors out there listening, here are a few of the tips from the twitter community for you:
0neLife – Trust, authenticity and finding a voice
lukus1984 – To gain social insight & perspective on particularly tough moral issues, especially surrounding current affairs. The peoples voice!
jaimesteele – Use LinkedIn to build relationships – Complete profile 100%, add applications esp slideshare, add as many connections as possible
in_house_lawyer – I'm a solicitor and use twitter! Here's why: http://bit.ly/azuFPa
Partridgewilson – No hard sell. Be interesting & informal but professional. Try to engage with followers as you would in any other social setting.
sarknight – To update re changes in legislation and to connect with local businesses in a different way to other firms
Nick_Edin – Networking, giving advice, sharing information, mentoring stars of tomorrow, business development and reputation.
RalliSolicitors – Good Morning. Where would you like us to start? (I was impressed with these guys listening out :))
Joel_Hughes – Help project credibility in target services, build relationships with key prospects
Innovateip – Not a solicitor but a Trade Mark Attorney, use twitter for 50% social/50% business with hints and tips about protecting IP
MattYoungMedia – I think Twitter would give a solicitor the chance to show their human side…
steelcitym – A solicitor should be an "informer". They have to read daily to keep up to speed. Blog, write & post before others do it first!
So there you have it, a selection of the best tweets I had back from the community and some good solid advice.
So if I were a solicitor what would I do (and I do have the benefit of more than 140 characters of course)
- Create an account under my name – using a full name
- Create a detailed bio
- Link back to my firms website or my personal blog if I had one
- Setup tools allowing me to monitor for terms surrounding my area of law and location
- Engage with the people those tools find
- Pay special attention to the 'Influencers' in my game – It didn't take me long to find that one of the most active solicitors in the UK on SM is @brianinkster – I'd watch and learn from people like Brian
- I'd engage where possible – always looking to build credibility and authority
- I'd add value by linking to articles of interest that I find about my area of law
- I'd look for local news and help push that out to my network
- I'd find my clients and current contacts that use the networks and make sure we are connected and engaging online
- I'd follow useful resource sites like http://twitter.com/legal_week
- I'd Retweet articles and sites of interest to my followers
Most importantly I'd try and give value where possible and project my personality in order that when someone needs my services I'll be in with a shout of that contact or having my name passed on.
If you were a solicitor what would you do? Maybe you are a solicitor and want to let us into your strategy for social media?

"I agree with those who said projects with glass, glitter, etc., are adults-only projects. I would also add to the list any project that involves a lengthy set of instructions or takes a long time to complete, as I think kids would just get frustrated and impatient."
"I can not even tell you how cute these penguins are. I love them. Reminds me of Happy Feet an that is just what I will make them. So adorable and so simple to make using a water bottle and a sock. Now how many ones do I have that do not have mates and that hat gives the penguin some personality. How about making a few and changing them a little and making your own Happy Feet collection foe a mantel or centerpiece. How cute will that be. Great tutorial."
"A cute colorful wreath for getting in the spring mood. Soft pastels to remind us of the up coming beautiful spring days with a cute fun and easy project that can be done with the whole family inside or out on the patio enjoying the beautiful weather. So inexpensive and a great idea to use the food colors to paint the ends and you can even teach kids how colors mixed together make different colors. You can get creative with this wreath by using the colored cupcake liners, glitter or even embellishments. Super tutorial and a great spring break project. Let's see some pictures of creative minds."
Kristin Elaine
"Home decor pieces, such as furniture crafts or complex wall art. Not for kids because of skill level and also because they probably wouldn't care about the finished project!"
"I love it. It is simple once you get the idea. And think how versatile this pattern would be. You can dress them up by using glitter beads or switch colors for the seasons. Green and red at Christmas, pink or purple for Easter, brown and orange for thanksgiving and so on. I am going to have to experiment a little with them."

GDB22: Another Matinee
November 28 2008 10:37PM
What could be more exciting than a matinee game against the St. Louis Blues? How about an Oilers team that could very well lose the game?
We don't know what to make of this squadron. What happened to the team that was going to come in first in the Northwest? What happened to the team MacT basically told "don't be too confident lads. Take 'er as she comes" a few short months ago? The Oil got 99 problems and over confidence ain't one.
What happened to the team that made us buy Oilers Pyjamas and A Dustin Penner Snuggle Bug Teddy Bear? (trademark pending)
The only thing more exciting this game is, well pretty much everything. So of course we will be watching.
Damn you Oilers. You had better win.
November 29 2008, 02:35PM
haha, trying to make a comeback with Steen.
November 29 2008, 02:37PM
That feels weird....
November 29 2008, 02:38PM
Horc with the Gordie!
November 29 2008, 02:38PM
Steen has a giant jew beak.
November 29 2008, 02:39PM
thanks for the laughs guys have a great day keeping that buzz goin:)
November 29 2008, 02:39PM
This is akward... kinda like that wedding I seen my aunt in the mnes room turing tricks for crack... I and I had some crack for sale...
November 29 2008, 02:40PM
i would rather have seen them lose this and the next game just to see mactavish teary eyed at a press conference where he is getting fired. it isn't just that this team loses and plays like crap so often, it is that they are so frigging inconsistent and boring to watch.
November 29 2008, 02:40PM
Just so I understand correctly. We have won 8 games on the road. And only 2 at home. And all the road games is the problem, right? That's why we are playing so bad.
November 29 2008, 02:42PM
JS Sounds like you have it figured out.
November 29 2008, 02:44PM
Penner just said to Stauffer that he asked Backes to fight and Backes said no.
November 29 2008, 02:50PM
Why give him the choice
November 29 2008, 04:09PM
Oilers never disappoint in matinees.
November 29 2008, 05:26PM
DO you guys think a muscle call up is in order for tommorows game? I guess only if Pouliot is out.
November 29 2008, 06:42PM
I think Brule is called up if Poo is out. Brody is dropped down to the 4th line and Brule centers Cole and Moreau. OR Potulny, who is putting up good numbers in Springfield.
Schremp will only come up if Nilsson or Gags or Cogs is hurt. Too similar in their style of play.
November 29 2008, 06:43PM
and there it is..... 365 Game day posts...nice oilers Nation...nice. Not bad for a Matinee
November 29 2008, 07:24PM
Can't wait till tomorow...
November 30 2008, 11:32AM
ok... it's tomorrow
November 30 2008, 03:27PM
Smokin ray and I have things we want to say.....new game day thread please....hello??? Oiler Nation?....hello.......
November 30 2008, 03:38PM
November 30 2008, 03:40PM
Guess the guys had a hard night at Hudson's.
Nothing to say that you couldn't continue the saga here. Make it an epic thread that crashes the server.
November 30 2008, 03:52PM
It's called recycling guys. And even though using the same game day thread is the same thing as using the same condom twice, we'll just have to cope with it i guess. Everyone else is probably at church anyway.
November 30 2008, 04:05PM
Ricky: That's pretty greasy Julian. Bubbles: Greeeeasy!
November 30 2008, 04:08PM
Alright, so, puck has dropped. And since it seems like there is no one in charge here today, I'm just going to go ahead and officially christin this the GDB23.
November 30 2008, 04:09PM
My rough estimate is that there is 318 people in that arena.
November 30 2008, 04:12PM
Man, this room is so much bigger when there is no one in here.
November 30 2008, 04:15PM
Checking in from the inlaws. GO OILERS!
November 30 2008, 04:20PM
November 30 2008, 04:21PM
Off the back of the head...so it's going to be that kind of game...
November 30 2008, 04:26PM
Wow that was the longest fight I've ever seen. And far less hugging then I expected.
Is it just me, or is Cole working a lot harder since the five-day weekend?
November 30 2008, 04:35PM
That's 3 fair to major mistakes by Nilsson in the past 3 minutes of play.
November 30 2008, 04:39PM
Put him on the first line! That seems to be the way things are going this year. Young player doing crappy? Promote him to a better line!
November 30 2008, 04:44PM
Uh Oh. They showed Sam Gagner swearing on TV. There's going to be a lot of disappointed moms out there.
Sam swearing, or Tom professing manlove for a pair of loafers. Your choice.
November 30 2008, 04:55PM
WTF - no new thread?
Classic firdt period from the mighty oil.
November 30 2008, 04:59PM
I think that was actually our best first period all season. And yet, somehow, we still managed to be down by 2. At least we're consistent!
November 30 2008, 04:59PM
we got 'em right where we want em.
November 30 2008, 04:59PM
I'm betting a certain someone didn't realize it was another matinee. I hate being at work.... are they at least playing decent despite the typical Oiler first period?
November 30 2008, 05:00PM
FUMBLE... Wayne dropped the ball and was too hungover to make a new thread... Step up DJ.
November 30 2008, 05:01PM
Not a bad first... Storts was horrible, did you see he forgot to hug that guy in the fight... Horribly inconsistant of him
November 30 2008, 05:02PM
Yeah Travis. The first goal bounced in off the top of JDD's head, and in. Absolute terrible luck. We hit a post, and missed a bunch of bounces. But most of the period was played in their end. So the score isn't really indicative of the play.
November 30 2008, 05:02PM
I'm sure he will call him later to apologize.
November 30 2008, 05:03PM
That's comforting...
November 30 2008, 05:04PM
Mact Tried throwing Toby Peterson out on out PP and didn't even consider his loyalty may have faded.
Freeze, I heard that from Bob as well. Oi.
November 30 2008, 05:04PM
Another failed experment by Mact
November 30 2008, 05:04PM
I'm pretty sure MacT has coached 3/4 of the players in the league at one point or another, because every team has at least 2 former oilers.
November 30 2008, 05:05PM
The Oilers know Dallas is last in the league right?
November 30 2008, 05:07PM
"The Oilers know Dallas is last in the league right?"
For now...

Hi Folks
My name is Hefin Jones - some of the folk who've been on this list for years might remember me from my time on the list back in the early-mid naughties. I'm a Welshman currently resident in Sydney, Australia. A graduate of the University of London (Computing & Cognition), and of Moore Theological College, Sydney, I've been engaged in ministry for quite a while, and since 2003 have been in full-time Baptist ministry at a couple of different churches. I'm also a part-time research Masters student (M.Th. = U.S. Th.M.) interested in Galatians, justification/rectification, and 'apocalyptic' interpreters of Paul. Not only is a smattering of greek a dangerous thing, so is a smattering of linguistics. I have a smattering of both and so am likely to say silly things. Some of them are right. I'm hoping that re-connecting with bgreek won't turn into another mode of procrastination, but rather be a stimulus to me to think harder about koine, the NT and especially Galatians.

How to select Wireless Lighting Controllers
The best thing about wireless lighting controllers is that they increase the general level of comfort in every building where they are installed. Devices like that make it possible to control all of the lighting fixtures in a house with just a push of one button. The following guide will help you learn more about wireless lighting controllers so that you can select the option that will suit your needs best.
The first factor to consider when it comes to lighting controllers is the number of options that such controllers come equipped with. It is also important that you specify the purpose of a controller before you commit to buying one. You may want to have the ability to switch the lighting fixtures on/off, but also to dim or change the color of the light. After you are aware of what you want your wireless controller to do, you may continue to the next factor.
The next important factor to consider is whether the controller is compatible with the lighting fixtures that are installed in your home or office. All of the technical information and specifications of wireless lighting controllers can be found in their description. In addition to that, make sure you select the device that is safe and easy to use.
The installation of the wireless controllers is one of the major factors that you should take into consideration when looking for such devices. The easier it is to mount all of the necessary devices, the less mounting accessories and wires it requires, the more reliable and long-lasting operation of such device you will enjoy.
When all of the factors of the wireless lighting controllers are finally considered, you may still need to decide on their power source. It is always good to have a controller with spare batteries than to look for their replacement in the nearest hardware store.
What are the benefits of using wireless lighting controllers?
First of all, you will never have to switch the lighting devices in your house manually ever again. Instead, the time that you will save with a wireless controller could be spent on the things that you like the most. Also, depending on the controller's version and the features that it has to offer, a perfect lighting ambiance can be created in just seconds. The other major benefit of using wireless lighting controllers is that such devices help reduce the amount of energy that the lighting fixtures use and thus helps you save money in a long run.

Yea, that seems to be getting worse, daily and its annoying as hell. Even when it was one or two at a time it was annoying me.
Would any kind of posting limitation on newer accounts/ability to create new threads/ or a certain amount of time from registration date to post at all hinder these monsters?

What are the black connectors called like used on the Arduino board,
I was thinking of just having multiple small (or large) breadboards that bring all their pin and power leads to a single pin-header, then I can simply connect and disconnect a board without too much stress.
What's connected at the circled area near A1? Is that for a resonator?
Did you make it easy to connect something like an FTDI Basic for easy downloading? Or does one just connect to the appropriate pins once plugged in the breadboard using flying leads off the USB/RS232 adapter?

GREEN BAY, Wisc. - This wasn't quite the same as holding Barry Sanders to negative rushing yardage, but considering what Adrian Peterson did to the Green Bay Packers in the regular-season finale six days earlier, it sufficed.
Less than a week after the Minnesota Vikings running back rushed for 199 yards against them and in the process came up just 9 yards short of breaking Eric Dickerson's single-season NFL record, the Green Bay Packers cut that total more than in half and rendered him — and his team's offense — ineffective in Saturday's 24-10 NFC wild-card victory at Lambeau Field.
BOX SCORE: Packers 24, Vikings 10
Though no one on the current roster was around when the Packers held Sanders, the Detroit Lions standout running back, to minus-1 yards rushing in a 1994 wild-card victory, they drew great satisfaction from the giant improvements they made against one of the all-time great running backs.
Peterson, who had 409 of his 2,097 regular-season rushing yards in the two games against the Packers, was finally held under 100 yards. He carried 22 times for 99 yards, a 4.5-yard average, and had a long run of just 18 yards.
The difference this time around?
"Everyone just trusted each other more," Packers nose tackle B.J. Raji said. "The last game, we had a tendency to do too much against a great player like that, and his lateral agility tends to take advantage of you if you try to do too much. I think this time, we trusted each other and stayed in our lanes and let him come to us."
MORE: Rodgers picks apart Vikings
That the Vikings were without starting quarterback Christian Ponder, who was a surprise game-time scratch due a sore throwing elbow, played right into the hands a defense that wanted to focus on stopping Peterson. Though Ponder is by no means a prolific passer, he would have been much of a threat to throw the ball down the field than his backup, Joe Webb, who completed just three passes in the first half and only 11 total for the game.
The Packers did almost no prep work for Webb in practice last week. But without having to worry about getting beat deep in the passing game, defensive coordinator Dom Capers made one important change on the fly: He decided to bring a safety up near the line of scrimmage on almost every play.
PREVIEW: How do Packers stack up against 49ers?
Perhaps just as important was the fact that one of those safeties was Charles Woodson. Playing for the first time since he broke his collarbone on Oct. 21 against St. Louis, Woodson stayed at safety in both the base and the nickel packages, moving to a slot cornerback position only in the dime. Woodson often could be found creeping up near the line of scrimmage shortly before the ball was snapped. And if Woodson didn't do it, then fellow safety Morgan Burnett did.
"That was for Adrian," Woodson said, "not the quarterback."
Decked out in oversized shoulder pads to protect his collarbone, Woodson recorded six tackles, including one for a loss. Only cornerback Sam Shields (seven tackles) made more stops than Woodson. Defensive end C.J. Wilson also was credited with six tackles.
"The only difference between this week and last week was we made the tackles," Woodson said. "If the first guy wasn't there or if the first guy didn't make the tackle, the next guy made the tackle. We did a great job of gang tackling. We didn't let him break through the line of scrimmage and make people miss. We limited those yards after contact, which he's so good at. Last week, guys were aggressive. But this week we made it count."
It provided redemption for those on defense, such as cornerback Tramon Williams, who struggled to bring Peterson down in last Sunday's loss at the Metrodome. Williams was among a group of defensive players that either missed tackles or appeared unwilling to get as physical as necessary with Peterson in the regular-season finale.
"We know the mistakes we made; it wasn't a lack of effort," Williams said. "It was more too much effort. You have to slow yourself down. A lot of guys try to get to the ball so fast that the guy has such great vision that he can make cuts and get to the outside so quickly. A lot of guys kept their gap control, and I think that was the difference. We kept him bottled up and made him run inside the tackles."
Demovsky writes for The Green Bay Press Gazette.

We love Diesel. Don't get us wrong. And we usually jump all over Diesel jeans, their denim dresses, and their super cool urban accessories. But the latest release in the realm of totes & carry-ons from Diesel Island is iffy. And by iffy, we mean… ugly. Maybe it's the shape of the bag against the akward contour, the handle bases being too close together, the awkward DIY-esque placement of the studs, or the feeling that too many ideas were crammed into one design. In any case, we won't be buying this one. The line they belong to, dubbed "The Divina", are available in three styles and fabrications, and $350—$440.
Sorry Diesel! We still love you!

Your Guide to Passive-Aggressively Sharing This New York Times Article About How Cohabiting Sucks
Hey, young cohabiting couples: An article in Sunday's New York Times says you're all doomed to fail. Unsurprisingly, this is currently the most-shared thing on their website. But this is one of those articles you can't just share willy-nilly, as the passive-aggressive message conveyed by the act of sharing is actually more important than the content of the article itself.
In the article, "The Downsides of Cohabiting Before Marriage," clinical psychologist Meg Jay examines the many ways in which you have screwed yourself by casually deciding to move in with your significant other. You think you're moving in because it's convenient and fun, but what you're really doing, according to studies, is haphazardly locking yourself into an unsatisfying relationship via buying furniture and dogs together, which then turns inevitably into a miserable marriage, which ends in divorce and you drinking yourself into a stupor alone one night and looking back at the ruins of your relationship, wondering where your 20s went. Scary, right?
But before you go shooting this off to everyone you know, consider the message you are sending by telling someone to read such a harrowing document:
Cohabitor shares with partner: "Well, we had a good run. See ya."
Cohabitor shares with single friend: "Beware. Beware! Bewarrrrreeeeeeeeee."
Cohabitor shares with married friend: "This is total bullshit, right? Right?"
Married person shares with spouse: "We totally proved this is bullshit, right? Right?"
Married person shares with cohabiting friend: "This is completely accurate. Beware! Bewarrrrreeeeeeeeee."
Single person shares with cohabiting or married friend: "Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha."

Gospel Reading
Document Actions
5th Wednesday after Pentecost
The Gospel according to Matthew 12:38-45
At that time, the scribes and Pharisees came to Jesus saying, "Teacher, we wish to see a sign from you." But he answered them, "An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign; but no sign shall be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the whale, so will the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. The men of Nineveh will arise at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and behold, something greater than Jonah is here. The queen of the South will arise at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold, something greater than Solomon is here.
"When the unclean spirit has gone out of a man, he passes through waterless places seeking rest, but he finds none. Then he says, 'I will return to my house from which I came.' And when he comes he finds it empty, swept, and put in order. Then he goes and brings with him seven other spirits more evil than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man becomes worse than the first. So shall it be also with this evil generation."

Our Mission
The University of Detroit Mercy School of Law strives to teach students to be both skilled practitioners and compassionate professionals. The Public Interest Fellowship Program expands our long-standing tradition of service to the community and provides students the opportunity to succeed while making a difference in the community.
Public Interest Law Fellowships
Students who receive Fellowships spend approximately eight weeks as summer interns for non-profit organizations that serve or advocate for the poor, disadvantaged, marginalized or under-represented of society. Since 2003, the Voice for Justice Fellowship Program has funded more than 100 law students to serve locally and throughout the world at organizations such as:
- Salvation Army
- American Bar Association Commission on Domestic Violence
- Innocence Project of Florida
- Cook County Public Defender's Office
- Michigan Department of Civil Rights
- Association of Defence Counsel - International Criminal Tribunal, The Hague
- Freedom House
- Association Jeunes pour Jeunes Social Center, Khemisset, Morocco
- Chaldean Federation of America
- Multicultural Council of Windsor
- Wayne County Neighborhood Legal Services
- African Women's Lawyers' Association, Accra, Ghana
- State Appellate Defenders Office
- Archdiocese of Detroit
- United Community Housing Coalition
The Voice for Justice Fellowship was the pinnacle of my law school experience. But for the fellowship, hard work, and dedication, I would not be where I am today. My fellowship was with Legal Aid and Defender Association. While at Legal Aid, I was able to gain invaluable experience in civil practice areas such as consumer defense, landlord tenant, and foreclosure defense. The Voice for Justice Fellowship also reinforced my passion, desire, and ability to practice in consumer defense law. It also helped lead to employment. I would recommend that every law student interested in public service apply for the Voice for Justice Fellowship.
Matt Nicols, Esq.
As a fellow, I volunteered at the Salvation Army William Booth Legal Aid Clinic and the Detroit Center for Family Advocacy (DCFA). Both experiences were invaluable to me. I was given the opportunity to work with low-income families on issues ranging from divorce and custody, to criminal and landlord-tenant. Specifically, at the DCFA I assisted in upholding their mission of keeping children out of foster care. The Voice for Justice fellowship provided me the means with which I was able to volunteer at these great places, and for that I am thankful.
Zachary J. Bialick J.D., B.S
As a Voice for Justice Fellow, I interned at the Michigan State Appellate Defender Office (SADO). I worked on three great projects. In light of the United States Supreme Court Opinion in Miller v. Alabama, which made mandatory life for juveniles unconstitutional, I was assigned to work on a special project in which I assisted in the preparation of mitigation reports for re-sentencing hearings for people who were sentenced life in prison as juveniles. I also assisted with preparation of a brief submitted to the Supreme Court on behalf of the Petitioner in Burt v. Titlow. Even further, I assisted in trial preparation for a case that ultimately exonerated two brothers that were wrongfully convicted of murder and spent 25 years in the Michigan Department of Corrections because of a eyewitness misidentification. My summer at SADO was a humbling experience that enabled me to grow as a person and a legal professional. It helped me to realize how much attorneys can really make a difference in people's lives, which is what I am most passionate about. The experience reassured me that I chose the right profession.

21st Century Transportation
Efficient public transportation systems like intercity rail and clean bus systems would make America's transportation future better for everyone by reducing traffic congestion and pollution and increasing our options for getting around.
Reforming our broken transportation system
Changing Transportation: U.S. PIRG's series of reports on the dramatic changes underway in how Americans travel.
In the 20th century, Americans fell in love with the car. Driving a car became a rite of passage. Owning a car became a symbol of American freedom and mobility. And so we invested in a network of interstate highways that facilitated travel and connected the nation.
Now we're in a new century, with new challenges and new transportation needs. We still love our cars, but they remind us of our dependence on foreign oil. Americans want choices for getting to work, school, shopping and more. With gas prices up and lifestyles changing, Americans — especially the young — are driving less.
We need a transportation system that reflects and supports the way we want to travel now.
For six decades, the number of miles driven by Americans was on the rise year after year after year. Since 2004, Americans reversed the trend and have been driving less. Meanwhile, public transportation ridership nationwide is hitting record highs. This trend is greatest among younger Americans — who will be the biggest users of infrastructure built today. Since the 1950s — despite knowing that buses and rail use far less energy and space — we have spent nine times more on highway projects than on public transportation.
By reducing traffic and pollution and increasing our options for getting around, efficient public transportation systems like intercity rail and clean bus systems would make America's transportation future better for everyone.
But America also needs to repair and maintain our current aging infrastructure. Nearly 70,000 of the nation's bridges are classified as "structurally deficient." Instead of building ever-wider roads that will only make America more dependent on oil, we need to be smart in how we invest in highways, and fix them first.
The good news is that the public is in many ways ahead of Congress in leading the way toward reform. Help us make sure government recognizes our need to invest in a 21st century transportation system.
Check out our video showcasing our work to bring about better transportation options for America's future.

|In response to Re: Wax ring vs. wax-free bowl gasket
: I used my first one in my own house a couple of weeks ago to see how it works. It seems to have sealed properly, but the problem is that when you set the bowl the do not get any "feedback" that it actually centered on the seal and pressed against it properly. The only way to tell if it worked is to use it and then see if any leakage shows up in the future. And the moisture you saw was not from the previous leak. It was because the newest wax seal was also leaking. But that is common to the horned rings.
: : I am in the process of reseating my toilet and was wondering which is better: Wax rings or wax-free bowl gasket? The flange is not recessed in my linolium floor but it also has a slight lean to one side. The flange is the original, about 52 years old and it is cast iron. The floor is also slighlty pitched but ever so slight. It is the flange that concerns me. When we bought the house 6 years ago ther toilet leaked and caused dry rot around the flange. I had a plumber replace it and it began leaking about two years later. I replaced it with a horned wax ring and it seemed to help solve the problem. I recently replaced the floor in the bathroom and when tearing out the old flooring, it was moist in the underlayment around the toilet so I think either it might have still been leaking or it never dried out in the last 3 years underneath the old linolium floor before being replaced. I have purchased a Fluidmaster wax-free bowl gasket because I thought the leaning flange might be causing the leak but I also bought their neoprene reinforced horned wax ring. i have not tried either one yet but my wife is about to leave me if I do not get this toilet in soon (kidding). Really, I am not sure how good the wax-free gasket is compared to the wax ring. Oh yeah, I have reset on other bowl with the wax ring in the past with no problems. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Steve.
From one Steve to another.......
I am a DIYer and have used many wax rings. If I think there might be a problem I use 2 wax rings. It is ok if the wax squezzes out It means that it sealed the space and excess is being forced out. Good luck.

Law Immigration Policy: Whose Line Is it Anyway? Arizona Governor Jan Brewer with President Obama, discussing immigration and border security issues in the wake of SB1070. The Supreme Court will this week hear oral argument in a case about Arizona's controversial immigration law, S.B. 1070. While the national debate over immigration has become reduced to campaign trail sound bites and a general holding pattern within the Obama Administration, the Supreme Court has the potential with this ruling in the Arizona case to make an important contribution in improving immigration policy. Beyond the practical matter of efficacy, the stakes are high because the case addresses a first organizing principle of our political system, federalism, or the division of labor and authority between levels of governments. A consideration of the historical reality as well as contemporary practice on the actual division of authority in immigration suggests that the Supreme Court should use a scalpel instead of a butcher knife in defining the extent of state participation. In the appeal regarding Arizona's immigration law, the Supreme Court must address the question of which level of government (or what combination thereof) should handle immigration policy. Unlike in a unitary system where the will of the national government always trumps the will of subnational units, in a federal system like ours, the U.S. constitution lays out a framework dividing labor and authority between the federal government, states, and localities (counties). Yet, the location of that line and the exact details of the division are unclear and are themselves ongoing sources of political conflict. Why does this division of labor and authority matter? One reason the constitutional framers chose a federal system is their belief that dividing government authority between layers of government would decrease tyranny and therefore better preserve individuals' liberties. On that count it is questionable whether local immigration laws like Arizona's hurt or help individual liberty. A major criticism of Arizona's law is that the federal government, not local law enforcement, should be in charge of immigration policy because the role of local law enforcement should be to serve and protect their communities. Their task would be compromised if they were also required to check persons' immigration status, thereby breaking the trust between local law enforcement and immigrant communities. There also have been charges that the Arizona law's requirement that local law enforcement may stop anyone based on "reasonable suspicion" of their immigration status would lead to widespread racial profiling of foreign-looking and sounding persons. Further, Arizona's law has spawned much copycat legislation, including Alabama's law, which is even more draconian. One could reasonably conclude from the controversies surrounding Arizona's law that the federal government should standardize immigration policy and leave the states and localities out of it. Lost in the passions surrounding the contemporaneous controversy is the historical fact that for roughly 150 years before 1891, colonies and then states and localities exclusively created and implemented immigration policy, albeit with tacit federal government support. For over a long time, states and localities created immigration policies while the federal government took time to build up its administrative capacity. When the federal government took over immigration policy in 1891, federal immigration law was merely a replication of colonial era and state laws. Colonies, states and localities originally led the way in pioneering immigration policies because these entities had deeply vested interests in those policies. Our nation's historical amnesia about this long period distorts the contemporary debate by making it appear as if the federal government always had exclusive and preeminent authority to regulate immigration and that states' policy making in this area are anomalies. Moreover, states have historically and in modern times played created innovative pro-immigrant policies. The same federal system that allows states like Arizona to draw up anti-immigrant legislation also provides the flexibility of states to create immigrant friendly legislation. Not all state and local immigration laws take punitive approaches. While the national Congress has repeatedly failed to pass the DREAM ACT, compassionate legislation that would aid undocumented students and those who enlist with the military, states and localities have made headway. States as diverse as California, Illinois, Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Wisconsin and others have all passed versions of the DREAM ACT that provide in-state tuition benefits and in some states, access to grant money and private scholarships for undocumented students to attend public colleges and universities. The Obama Administration has in its legal briefs related to the Arizona case asserted the desirability of the federal government's exclusive right to regulate immigration policy. Many immigration supporters agree with this view based on the assumption that the federal government would do a better job of protecting immigrant rights. Their logic is flawed because our nation could get vastly different centralized national immigration policy depending on whether we have a Democratic or Republican president in the near future. Even among the GOP primary field, there is a wide array of opinion on this matter. They range from Newt Gingrich's moderate view that long time residents who are undocumented should not be deported and their families should not be ripped apart, to Rick Santorum's views that the constitution should be amended to abolish automatic citizenship for those born to undocumented parents, to former candidate Herman Cain's insensitive joking about building an electric fence along the U.S. and Mexico. It was former candidate Texas Governor Rick Perry's support for his state DREAM ACT that was greatly at odds with the GOP platform, which contributed to his demise in the primaries. Depending on your point of view, centralized federal immigration policy may or may not be desirable. The Supreme Court can use the Arizona case to clarify issues of divisions of labor in immigration policy, which could alleviate concerns about the conflicting roles of local law enforcement. But in so doing, the Court should take great care to delineate the circumstances and conditions under which states can make immigration policy instead of gutting all together the flexibility enabled by a federal system by banning the states entirely from this policy area. A look back at the history of immigration policy making might be a useful guide. Anna O.
