Burke: To incoming freshmen, make the grades to open doors
I remember, as an incoming freshman being told over and over, high school was the time to get good grades – that this is when it counts and that with every bad grade, I would have fewer options for college. If only I had listened.
As a rebellious 13-year-old, I didn't entertain the idea that something as small as a grade point average, a measly two-digit number, should dictate my future; the idea frustrated me.
In protest, I decided to spend time on my own projects and neglected my grades, disregarding them as a far from honest or accurate measure of a student's capabilities or knowledge and more of strategic praise for completing tedious tasks with blind diligence. I've always placed a high value on education; however, I am also very stubborn.
I spent all of my time writing and drawing for my high school newspaper and got to interview a city council member and a Superior Court judge. I visited the University of Southern California Annenberg School for Communication and attended a journalism convention in Seattle on the one weekend it wasn't raining.
Through this, I improved as a writer and artist and found that journalism is something I would like to base my career on (or start a career in), yet none of this matters because in just a year the only thing representing me will be that grade point average I tried so hard to forget about.
Recently, I've become disillusioned at closing an incredible amount of doors for myself. It took one single, giant-sized mistake to realize the little and seemingly trivial mistakes I had been making all year were adding up.
I was supposed to go to San Francisco to attend a journalism convention earlier this year when I ended up getting sick and behind on all of my schoolwork. In the chaos, I ended up missing my flight. This was the first time I blamed myself instead of my school for getting in the way of what I wanted to do. Then I realized the amount of friendly fire I had really been giving myself. With my collection of procrastination and late assignments, I was holding myself back from achieving my goals.
Incoming freshmen, you have to play by the rules long enough so that you can get what you want. As said by Mark Twain, "Don't let school interfere with your education." Jump through the hoops to get the necessary grades to get to the college and eventually the career you want. Don't sacrifice your education by getting road-blocked by your educational system.
Know that high school can seem trivial but will ultimately impact the course of your life.

More spending supported by the Senator. Do we really need a new train station in New York. Ridership is down, the MTA is losing billions and the current station works fine. How about putting the funds into programs that would create long term private sector jobs or even better tax breaks for the companeis that are trying to survive in the New York a place where the goverment works against businesses and small business owners everyday.
This projet will create short term union jobs and a few low paying retail jobs when it is completed. Schumer us just pandering to the union bosses who blindly support his taxing and spending. Stop the spending and taxing. No wonder there are candidates preparing now to run against Schumer. His tax and spend philosphy and pandering to special interest is evident and must stop.

During a recent re-watch this dual episode made me pause. How could 2000 Romulan troops take over Vulcan? Was it to be an infiltration and military takeover? How feasible was the plan? Did they expect that there would not be a single Starfleet vessel on the route from the Neutral Zone to Vulcan? Could it really have happened so fast that nobody could mount a defense? Any views are welcome.
A pair of more or less obvious possibilities: 1) It was just a ruse. There really were but Romulan peaceniks aboard those ships, no troops at all, and the Romulans took secret delight in having Starfleet essentially execute the dissidents for them - while the many enemies of Starfleet saw a truly audacious Romulan maneuver, one that raised the Romulan stocks a lot among the fellowship of UFP foes. 2) The troops aboard the old Vulcan ships were irrelevant to the whole. The idea was to run a trio of ancient, noisy rust buckets under a flag of truce all the way to Vulcan, this noise masking the presence of a fleet of cloaked Warbirds. We know there was at least one Warbird shadowing the Vulcan ships; with but a few more, the force would certainly have had enough troops and firepower to take the planet hostage. It does seem likely that what happened was what the Romulans wanted to happen. Data, Picard and Spock escaped way too easily, and Spock was painstakingly provided with a means to transmit a warning message to Vulcan; it really smells of a setup. It would make for a classic Romulan plot if the idea was to make our heroes send a message of Romulan duplicity when in fact a real peace mission was underway. Or, if the second option is taken, to send a message of Romulan duplicity that would hide the real Romulan duplicity. At the conclusion of the episode, the Romulans do seem to emerge as winners: they have discredited and uprooted their dissident movement, they have put Federation defenses to shame and frightened everybody, and they have lost no ships of their own while audaciously stealing and then destroying Federation property with impunity. At no point in TNG does it appear that the Romulans would be interested in open war. Thus, a plotline that suggests such a thing is rather likely to be just another Romulan smokescreen... Timo Saloniemi
Well according to Sela, I think they were just the initial foot in the door. She goes on to imply that while 2,000 Romulan soldiers might not be enough to topple the Government, they would be entrenched and difficult to remove. I think they were intended to disrupt and act as somewhat of a torch party until reinforcements could be brought in.
With the assistance of many millions of Vulcans who sympathize with the Romulans way. Who wish for a re-joining of the two branches of Vulcanoids. Who see this as the beginning of a path to peace between the Federation and the Empire. Who long to cast aside the restrictive philosophy of Surak. Many different groups would welcome the Romulan "troops." The troops were less infantry, and more agent provocateurs. There not to fight a war, but to ignite the revolution that various segments of the Vulcan population have been waiting for. That was the Romulans plan. Romulans don't take a dump ... without a plan.
I dunno, a hundred or so Romulans did just fine defeating Vulcan with a goth mining ship... wait... wrong universe.

lol... well, in france, i'm not underage but right now, i'm studyin in the states so i guess, i'm underage ere.. ill have to skip this one... XD
anyways, just discovered ur blog because of dr. champ and ive been glossing through all of your posts since the first one.. hehe. and LOVED it.. sigh. as if i'm not busy enough.. now i have another blog on my table to read. share ur like for classical music, interest for us tv shows, and of course, kr dramas as well. um.. that's about it. i'm in class right now (supposedly typing class notes) so gotta go. just letting u know i appreciate your blog. Oooh, someone from France! Hey, I know some French. Uhm, let's see... "Je me suis casse la jambe." (I have broken my leg.) and "Enivrez vous." (Get drunk.) Haha, sorry for the last one! I don't wanna get you into trouble since you're apparently not of legal drinking age. That's right, lay off the champagne, pal :P
Yeah, I love, love classical and instrumental music. One of the reasons why I got hooked on K-dramas (especially sageuk) is primarily because they have such beautiful, breathtaking orchestral scores - massive brass fanfares, exotic percussion, sweeping strings that transport you to the time of warriors and mythological beliefs. True story: I wanted to become a pianist when I was a kid but then our piano got eaten by termites. So poof! No more piano lessons! Goodbye Vivaldi!
Anyhoo, thanks for visiting my blog. On second thought... why are you still reading me posts? Get your nose back in your books! LOL! No, joking aside, good luck on your studies, mon ami/amie! Make me proud! :)

Lactogenic Foods That Can Help You Make More Breast Milk

Many foods are considered to be galactagogues, which help to increase the supply of breast milk. Throughout the world, women in different cultures are given certain foods right after childbirth and while they're breastfeeding. Some of these foods are full of vitamins and minerals, and others contain chemical properties that may aid in the production of breast milk. Whatever the reason may be, these milk-making (lactogenic) foods are believed to promote and support a healthy supply of breast milk.

#1. Whole Grains

Whole grains are very nutritious, and they are thought to have properties that support the hormones responsible for making breast milk. Eating whole grains may increase your breast milk supply. The most common grain used to make more breast milk is slow-cooked old fashioned oatmeal. You can also try barley, whole grain brown rice, oatmeal cookies, or other foods made from whole grains.

Read More: Oats, Oatmeal, and Breastfeeding

#2. Dark Green Vegetables

Dark green vegetables such as alfalfa, lettuce, kale, spinach, and broccoli are full of nutrients, especially calcium. They also contain phytoestrogens that may have a positive effect on breast milk production.

Read More: Alfalfa and Increasing Breast Milk Supply

#3. Fennel

Fennel is a plant from the Mediterranean. Fennel seeds are often used as an herb to flavor many different foods, but fennel is also a vegetable that can be cooked or eaten raw. The bulb, stalk, and leaves of the fennel plant are edible, and you can add them to soups, stews, or other fennel recipes. The plant estrogens found in fennel are believed to help nursing mothers make more breast milk.

Read More: Increasing Your Breast Milk Supply With Fennel

#4. Garlic

Garlic is very nutritious, and it's a healthy addition to most diets. It is thought to be a galactagogue, helping nursing mothers make more breast milk. It's also believed that the taste of the garlic in the breast milk may help keep breastfed babies nursing longer. While it seems that some infants do, in fact, like the taste of garlic in the breast milk, others may not tolerate it very well. If your baby shows signs of a food sensitivity after you eat garlic, you may want to try to avoid the garlic for a while. Garlic can be added to your diet as a flavoring for many dishes, including vegetables, meats, seafood, pasta, and sauces.

#5. Chickpeas

Chickpeas, also called garbanzo beans or Ceci (chi-chi) beans, are a common legume used in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cooking. Chickpeas have been used by women to make more breast milk since the ancient Egyptian times. They are a nutritious food that is high in protein, and they also contain plant estrogens. Hummus which is a spread or dip made from chickpeas, is another way to enjoy this very healthy bean.

#6. Sesame Seeds

High in calcium and estrogen-like plant properties, sesame seeds are believed to help nursing mothers make more breast milk. You can eat sesame seeds alone, as an ingredient in the recipes you prepare, as a topping for salads, or in a trail mix combined with other seeds, nuts, and dried fruit.

#7. Almonds

Nuts, especially almonds, are considered to be galactagogues. Many nursing mothers eat almonds, or drink almond milk, to increase the creaminess, sweetness, and amount of their breast milk.

#8. Flaxseed and Flaxseed Oil

Like sesame seeds, flaxseeds contain phytoestrogens that can influence breast milk production. You can sprinkle flaxseed on salads and cereals, or you can try a flax seed recipe.

#9. Fresh Ginger Root

Ginger is used as a galactagogue but is also believed to help with the let-down reflex. There are many dishes containing ginger that you can try. You can also add ginger to your diet by drinking ginger ale made from actual ginger, and ginger tea.

#10. Brewer's Yeast

Brewer's yeast is a very healthy nutritional supplement that contains B vitamins, iron, protein, chromium, selenium, and other minerals. Breastfeeding mothers use it to help increase energy, get rid of the baby blues, and make more breast milk.

Read More: Brewer's Yeast: Boost Your Mood And Your Breast Milk Supply

#11. Nursing Teas

OK, tea is a beverage, not food. Yet, nursing teas are one of the most common choices for women who want to try to increase their breast milk supply. Nursing teas contain different combinations of herbs, such as fenugreek, blessed thistle, milk thistle, and fennel that are believed to help increase the supply of breast milk. Teas are also comforting and easy to prepare.

Read More: Increasing Breast Milk Supply With Nursing Teas

Do Lactogenic Foods Really Work?

Not all women will see results from eating these foods, but it certainly couldn't hurt to try them. If you eat a well-balanced, breastfeeding diet, many of these foods may already be a part of it. Since most of these foods are healthy and nutritious, adding a few more should be OK. Just keep in mind that, like everything else, you do not want to overdo it. If they seem to be working for you, monitor your breast milk supply. Once you reach a point that you feel comfortable with, reduce the amount of these foods that you consume. If you continue to increase your milk supply, you could end up with too much breast milk. An overabundant supply of breast milk could lead to another set of problems such as breast engorgement, plugged milk ducts, and mastitis.

Same picture as above
without the PicMonkey, Monkey Business.
Dear Gina - they have some lovely new features - I have played and made mine.
Do you pay the new subscription to picmonkey? I don't and some of the things I would like to use are now not available to me.
I love the nostalgic Victorian feel you have created.
Dear Rosemary, Yes, I have joined the advanced features. I'm trying it out. Not sure if I will keep it. You can decide month by month. Most good photo editing programs charge a fee. I am happy to pay for the excellent program that it is. However, the basic features are really enough. I know that you like to experiment...maybe PicMonkey will continue to add new features that we would like to use. I have included a few of the new features. But most of all I like the idea of having the opportunity to use some of my on images as overlays.
Looking forward to your Valentine design. ox, Gina
Really interesting art work....thanks you share its inspiring...!!!! Plastic card
ReplyDeleteOh, dear! I just managed to get through all my Christmas foodstuffs, and now Valentine's Day is on the way! I think there's some cabal that schedules holidays just to thwart all my good intentions to diet. And now PicMonkey is in on the scheme too! That said, it looks as though PicMonkey would be a fun place to work.
ReplyDeleteHave you tried PicMonkey Mark? With your excellent design skills you would have a heyday with this program. What I like most about it that it is so user friendly. I also like their clever prompts. Makes one happy while working.
Now Mark, there are lots of people who allow themselves a chocolate or two each day. As you know dark chocolate is good for you. So, there should not be any guilt attached to this one exception in your good intentions.
Yes, Gina, I've gone to PicMonkey and had some fun there! And thanks for allowing me a chocolate a day. Unfortunately, I have absolutely no will power when chocolate is involved, so I would probably need someone else to be responsible for rationing to me! I picture the Whitman Chocolates man delivering a teeny sampler box to my front door every day.
DeleteDear Gina,
the artist's eye in your original photo is visible without all the monkey business, but I must say, even with PicMonkey it is not so easy to make a simple photo shine in such a romantic light as you did. I know, because I just tried. Practice makes the master, but sometimes not................Thanks for pointing
PicMonkey out as a helpful tool, Sieglinde
I love this gorgeous Valentine card it's lovely. I have Pic Monkey but didn't realise there were more options I could buy.

These details are among those released by the National Transportation Safety Board today, as the investigation into the cause of the accident continues. If you've noted that more than two weeks has passed since the accident and these details are just coming out, credit that to some extent to the fuss kicked up by the Air Line Pilots Association which as been "engaged in discussions with the NTSB leadership and senior staff" according to a letter sent by Lee Moak, the union boss to members over the weekend.
ALPA boss Lee Moak photo from ALPA |
Meantime, NTSB investigator in charge Dennis Jones is getting a big assist in the Southwest 345 probe from videos of the accident, at least two of which were made from inside the airplane.
A total of five videos - some from the passenger cabin and some from outside the plane - are valuable Nantel told me this afternoon. "It allows us to look from a variety of different angles." Digital evidence was "critical to determining what happened" in the crash of Jimmy Leeward's P-51 at the Reno Air Race in 2011, she said.
As I wrote for The New York Times these days investigators of all sorts from safety agencies to law enforcement are deluged by digital evidence provided by citizen videographers and their ubiquitous smart phones, iPods, handy cams and tablets. At the same time it can be an overwhelming task for investigators to screen this stuff and evaluate its usefulness.
It that is not enough of a dilemma, don't forget that recording inside an airplane below 10,000 feet is in defiance of safety rules. Investigators have so far found no evidence that electro-magnetic interference from those digital devices affected the flight systems, instruments or controls on the Southwest 737 but the fact that could have should give one pause. And with that possibility in mind, its worth considering the implications when airline passengers feel it's okay to decide which rules they'll heed and which they'll ignore.
"The regulations are in place for a reason and we support them because they afford a level of safety," Nantel said. "Its always a concern when passengers feel they don't have to comply."
Nevertheless, in the case of Southwest 345 investigators find themselves in a dilemma, delighted and yet uncomfortable by the source of what could be illuminating evidence. Asked what the safety board's next step might be to prod someone to sort out the air safety community's use-but-don't-tell relationship with digital devices, Nantel said, "There is no next step, it's up to the FAA to determine if there is some gross non compliance."
There already is gross non compliance that is easy part. The "what's next?" question will be a lot tougher to answer.

How to Remove Standoff?
I'm modding an old Arcam case for my Gainclone project. The problem is I'm using a larger toroid than the old one and I need to remove some standoffs that are right next to the transformer mounting point.
I've tried to unscrew them under varying degrees of excessive force with multiple tools to no effect. I've attached picutures of the top and bottom view of this type of standoff. As far as I can tell they look integrated with the case somehow. The bottom view shows some time of hex shaped mount point. It doesn't look welded and for the life of me I can't figure out how to remove the damn thing short of using a high-temp blowtorch, drill, laser etc. Any machinists or MEs out there familiar with these things? Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks, eris

Hi Eris, I've came across such problems myself, a quick solution is to drill out the hex shape on the bottom.

Yep drill the botton hex, first use a centre punch to stop the drill skating !
You probably wont need a large drill size, only say....half the size of the hex stud to start with as the small shaft through the case is narrower. |

the stand off has a hex stud through a hex hole in the bottom plate (to stop it rotating). The short hex has been peened over (probably using enormous load with an impact hammer) to very effectively rivet the standoff to the plate. Just drill it out.

try this
this stand-off has this hexoganol top and is pressed using a enormous force concentrated into a small hammershaped metal attached to a machine. the hole is not hexagonal but round to get a perfect fit!!! I think the easiest way is to use a drill about the same diameter as the standoff on the inside and drill after marking the centre at the hexagonal side

Thanks for the help, guys. I just decided to drill it out while waiting for a reply. Usually I try to save components, but in this case the standoffs are cheap.
BTW: No need to use a centerpunch to start the drill. I just drilled from the opposite side and used a bit small enough to drill out the threads. Then I turned it over and drilled out the hex with a larger bit. Same effect and no messing around with centerpunches. eris

Wednesday 1/5 Practice Report-Update
From the Truman Sports Complex
Illness kept two Pro Bowlers from the practice field Wednesday as the Chiefs began their preparation week for Sunday's game in the first-round of the AFC playoffs against Baltimore.
Head coach Todd Haley said that both LG Brian Waters and WR Dwayne Bowe were absent because of illness. They were not on the field during the open period of practice and were not in the locker room after practice was over. Haley provided no timetable on how long either one would be out. "I just go by today and today they were not able to go," Haley said.
Waters and Bowe were the only players missing from the field, as newly signed WR Kevin Curtis was taking part in the work. He was wearing No. 17.
"I'm approaching this to do what they ask me to do," said Curtis, who missed all but two weeks of the 2010 season as he recovered from surgery for testicular cancer. "I'm here to learn, to get in the playbook and if called upon be ready to go."
Haley said he'd never been around Curtis, but had spoken to coaches and players who had been and they had nothing but good things to say about the 6-0, 186-pound Utah native who has played 81 games in the league for the Rams, Eagles and Dolphins.
"He's a veteran receiver that we wanted to look at," Haley said. "It's part of our efforts to always be trying to create competition. He knows the system; they run a similar one down in Miami with Coach (Dan) Henning with similar terminology. That will give him a chance to get in and get in the mix.
"He's got some mileage on the tires, but it looks like he's done a great job of keeping himself in shape."
Curtis has caught 253 passes for 3,297 yards and 20 TDs. He spent two weeks with the Dolphins, catching one pass for six yards.
"I"m excited about being here and it's fortunate for me to be joining a team that's on a roll with winning a division and having a home game in the playoffs," Curtis said.
Also on the field was practice squad TE Cody Slate, who was also signed on Wednesday. The Chiefs had an open spot on their practice squad. Slate was with the team in training camp but was released on August 29.

Talking about jersey numbers – which number does Micah Johnson wear? The mothership obviously is unable to update the roster …
January 5, 2011 - gorillafan says:
hmmm, I think it would be very interesting that we signed Curtis the same day that Bowe wasnt at practice, but having Waters not there as well puts that at ease alittle. Im sure there is good reason and they will be at work soon and playing on Sunday, atleast they better be!!

The Chiefs have been very lucky in regard to injuries all year. Hope it does not bite us in the rear for sunday. (for those who believe in lucky, destiny, and momentium)

Any word on Waters & Bowe, other than "illness"? Yeah, and what is Micah Johnson's number?
Guys,I've said this in other posts, but I really like him. At about 6'4″ and 255 he could be a decent addition to our LB corps and ST. I know from watching him at KY that he loves to hit, and he's usually in a pretty bad mood when he gets to the football.
January 5, 2011 - RW says:
I think it would be easier to get launch codes from the Pentagon than straightforward news out of the Pioli/Haley lockdown. The right to know this latest complete information on Bowe/Waters is obviously on need to know and the rest of us didn't make the cut.
There it is.
January 6, 2011 - Chuck says:
BOB; Could you try to find out how serious is the illness that Bowe and Waters have???? This really concerns me as we NEED ALL HANDS ON DECK for this upcoming sunday. Also can you tell me BOB if you are excited about Kevin Curtis or is he just another Chris Chambers???? In other words he just gets 2 looks per game.

I am talking about Matt H, the established netminder for the Aeros. Who, as some will recall was touted as the coming Miracle goalie when he first played for the Aeros way back when - wait it was only a few years ago - with win after win.
Well, time will tell. Chers readers come visit this blog tomorrow morning for the latest!
Meanwhile I have been chuckling - a lot - whilst reading this.
Especially the 1000s comments following. Some amusing, some realistic, some are - well - dreamlike and/or nightmarish, even!
Now, my dream retirement would be 6 mos in a climate that is balmy and warm in the winter, like the Keys, maybe- below.
And then transfer to a climate that is very warm but not humid in the summer. Like New Mexico- photo left.
But where Medicare (as long as it IS available) is readily available :-). And VA medical care as well, for Better Half. Where the stores do not close early, or at all on weekends. Where people still help sack and load groceries, where attendants welcome me with a smile and a 'How are YOU?' 'Did you find all you needed?' and wish me 'Have a nice ... whatever!'
'The perfect heavens on Earth', right? LOL!

Transparency International ranks Ukraine 144 out of 177 countries on its corruption-perception index.
Corruption was at the heart of popular discontent with the deposed regime of Viktor Yanukovych, and widespread graft helps explain why the economy stalled in 2012 and 2013.
Kiev must tackle this problem urgently, even as its leaders confront Russia's territorial ambitions.
The scale of the graft under the previous administration, if the allegations turn out to be true, is breathtaking.
Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk has accused the Yanukovych regime of stealing $37 billion from the state—equal to one-fifth of Ukraine's GDP in 2013—during its four years in power.
This corruption is said to have taken several forms.
The Yanukovych administration was allegedly able to buy natural gas at low, state-controlled prices and then resell it at market prices that could be as much as eight times higher.
Volodymyr Groysman, Ukraine's current deputy prime minister, has said that gas worth $2.5 billion was sold this way.
Infrastructure projects have also come under suspicion.
In August 2008, for example, the city of Lviv was accepting tenders for a football stadium to host the 2012 European championships.
Alpine, an Austrian company, placed a bid at $191 million, according to company records, but it was rejected since the request was for proposals of up to $116 million.
In the end, the construction of the stadium was awarded to Donetsk-based Altkom, according to the Ukrainska Pravda.
The total cost came in at $370 million, according to government documents.
The European Investment Bank, which had intended to contribute to the financing of the stadium, withdrew in protest.
Several criminal charges have been brought against Yanukovych by the new Ukrainian government, accusing him, among other things, of unlawful enrichment, money laundering and, most recently, abuse of office, according to the Russian news agency RIA Novosti.
Yanukovych has denied these allegations repeatedly.
Still, the former leader's ouster in February has created an opportunity to confront corruption in Ukraine.
But the country's problem is much bigger than any single politician or administration.
It is potentially significant, for instance, that the new parliament in Ukraine remains a club of millionaires in a country where the per-capita GDP is less than $4,000.
Oleh Rybachuk, the chief of staff to former-president Viktor Yushchenko, runs a nongovernmental organization that has examined the apparent expenditures and legally declared incomes of the 450 members of parliament who sat from 2007 to 2012.
Mr. Rybachuk's NGO found that only a handful of these members could have plausibly claimed to live solely off their official incomes.
And there is ample anecdotal evidence that the Ukrainian public service is pervasively corrupt, as many people who have tried to secure a business license, or even been pulled over for speeding, could attest.
Cleansing Ukraine of its corruption will require several interrelated measures.
In this regard, Estonia and Georgia have shown the way.
To begin with, the state needs to limit its regulatory role by abolishing or merging many state agencies.
Minimizing state interference in the economy—whether by privatizing state-owned assets or cutting regulations—reduces opportunities for corruption in the first place.
The government should also cut public expenditures, and corrupted subsidies must be eliminated.
The deregulation of gas and electricity prices in this case must be seen as a matter of combating corruption, not as a social issue.
The poor can be given targeted cash compensation instead.
The tax system also needs to be simplified and the tax police abolished, to shield taxpayers from lawless persecution.
Ukraine has recently adopted a law on public procurement requiring open public tenders, and voters should demand their leaders follow that law to the letter.
Officials also must focus on delivering reliable rule of law.
This should entail the creation of an independent commission scrutinizing all the top judges and prosecutors in Ukraine and dismissing those found to have engaged in graft.
By signing the Association Agreement with the European Union, Ukraine has committed itself to adopting hundreds of reform laws, while the EU has committed itself to providing substantial technical assistance in drawing up new laws and reorganizing state agencies.
That deal is on hold for now, but Brussels and Kiev can still find ways to move forward.
Those parts of the agreement that target corruption, for example, should be a priority; as should building a strong and independent judicial system.
The Ukrainian people have made a choice for Europe.
If they stick with it and pursue reform with determination, they will have their best chance to clean out the Augean stables of a long-corrupt system.

Sabres salvage point against Devils
By Rick Anderson
February 13, 2002
The Sabres players and coaches have a long time to ponder whether their failed effort against the Devils in the home-and-home series may have put their playoff lives in serious jeopardy.
After the game, Sabres coach Lindy Ruff and most of his players tried to put a positive spin on the Sabres fate.
"I just have to look at the big picture," reflected Ruff. "It's one loss in the last 7 games. It would be an awful bad feeling standing here now if we didn't get a point tonight. We'll take the point and we've got some ground to make up when we get back."
Most of the other players echoed Ruff's sentiments, saying that they had just completed a tough stretch with only one loss and they came out hard in the second game against the Devils and established an aggressive style that showed New Jersey that they would not be pushed around like they were in the first game on Sunday.
The Sabres immediately decided to address Colin Campbell's decision to not suspend Colin White for his brutal check of Vaclav Varada into the boards on Sunday which could have broken the Sabres forward's neck. Enter what Ruff proclaims as the Sabres' "Entertainment Committee." Rob Ray and Eric Boulton. If Campbell wasn't going to dole out the proper justice, then Ray and Boulton were going to deliver their own special brand of payback.
Like a scene out of Slapshot , Ray went after White just 2:16 into the game. Like has been the case all season, Ray seems to be staging a comeback in his fighting career. He has won most of his bouts this season and the match against White was a "no-contest." Ray proved his point and while he was just getting his seat in the penalty box warmed up, Boulton decided to liven things up himself as he took on Jim McKenzie.
"We wanted to set the tone and not let them dictate play,"insisted Ray said. "It's what we talked about before the game, and it's what we went out and did."
The two bouts definitely set the tone for the night and gave the Sabres the jump when they scored first on a powerplay. Maxim Afinogenov sliced a shot that got past Martin Brodeur on the short side 16:10 of the first period.
Jason Arnott, who has been a Sabres-killer these last two games, scored his 4th goal in the series 14:56 into the second stanza and John Madden gave the Devils their first lead 2:11 into the final period.
Pyatt, who seems to be blossoming faster than the other piece of the Peca trade Tim Connolly, scored the game-saving goal 18:10 of the final period. Sabres defenseman Jason Woolley got past Devils defenseman Scott Niedermayer along the left boards and passed off to Pyatt cutting up the middle. Pyatt got a low shot off that went five-hole through Brodeur's pads. His goal ignited the crowd and the Sabres bench.
"Jason made a great play there," lauded Pyatt. "It's a big point for us."
"That was a huge goal,"elated Ray. "To not come out with anything, that would have been a major, major setback and a downer."
The two-week Olympic break may just be what the Sabres need to get their heads geared towards the mammoth task in front of them. There are 25 games left and the Sabres must win 75% of them if they want to secure a spot in the playoffs.
"We've got to take care of ourselves from a conditioning point," Ruff said in response to what his message to the team would be for the next two weeks. "It's a good rest period for a lot of players who've played a lot of hockey in a short number of days. But we've got 25 games left. Realistically, we've got to win 15-17 games, somewhat in that area.
The Sabres are 7 points out of 8th place and 8 behind the 7th place Devils. They dug this hole early in the year with terrible losses to such hockey giants like the Thrashers, Blue Jackets, Panthers, etc. The schedule after the Olympic break will be no cakewalk with 2 games against first place Boston and 3 against the Flyers. Also on the Sabres slate are the Red Wings, the Islanders, Toronto and a pair of games with the Canadiens and Capitals.
While it is mathematically possible for the Sabres to get into the playoffs, their schedule along with the fact that they just are not a good team will most likely weigh heavily against the Sabres goal.
The Sabres to a man were satisfied with their effort in Game two of the mini-series with the Devils.
"We needed to have a desperate game, a game with passion and intensity," related Rhett Warrener. "I think we did that."
"We wanted two points," Warrener went on. "We need to climb. Sitting still is not going to do it. We've really got to put something together, but you look at our last seven games and how we've played for the most part, we're playing well. We haven't made a move, but if we continue to play that way, we're bound to sooner or later."
Biron agree with Warrener.
"When you look at the game itself you reach a point where we're satisfied with the way we came out," Biron said. "It was a big game, we played a really hard game."
Biron, who made 24 saves, marveled at the Ray-Boulton tag team.
"I always think they wouldn't pay me enough money to do that," Biron said. "These two guys go out there and they just got the building going with back-to-back fights against two big guys."
Talking about the late goal by Pyatt, Biron was praying the puck would go in to avert another loss to the Devils.
"Brodeur was there on time and I thought he had stopped it," recalled Biron. "I was hoping it would trickle through, but when I saw that red light come on it was a big feeling of relief."
Talking about relief, Brodeur thinks the Devils will get some in the two-week layoff, especially considering how they picked up their game and moved into 7th in the tight playoff race.
"Guys were happy going into the break," said Brodeur, who made 20 saves. "We gained some ground and got ourselves into a playoff spot for now."
It could have been worse. The Buffalo Sabres needed 4 points out of the home-and-home series with the New Jersey Devils and they got one. They were lucky to get one point as it took a late goal by Taylor Pyatt to force an overtime and a 2-all draw. Now the Sabres go on a two-week hiatus as the NHL breaks for the Olympic competition.
Sabres' Rhett Warrener tries to thread a pass with the Devils' Jim McKenzie on his tail during second period action. The Sabres and Devils played to a 2-all draw.

Not bad.
May as well if you are doing Twinkie too. Felt stiff but that is likely because I had the sun in my eyes on a low crux. Nice route.

In limited, you can't build around it much, so it will probably only be useful half the time (the half that your best creature in the grave is better than your opponent's best creature in the grave). Since it's only useful half the time, that means it's NOT useful the other half. Hence, it has no place taking up space in your limited deck.

: : 4 weeks ago I had a lymph node removed from my thyroid and the biopsy results say malt b-cell low -grade lymphoma, non-hodgkins. My oncologist has ordered cat-scans & a bone marrow biopsy to see if the NHL is anywhere else. Has anyone had a bone marrow biopsy (or experience w/this type of cancer)? I've heard the bone marrow biopsy is very painful. I would appreciate any feedback about this test, anything to prepare for it, etc. Thank you!

Michele, I had a bone marrow biopsy 7 yrs ago right after my diagnoses. It was done right in the doctors office and is done with a tiny drill. The Dr. drilled into my hip bones on the buttox. It didn't really hurt, just like a bee stine. Ask your dr. how he plans to do the biopsy. Good Luck and God Bless. Shari

Can anyone please tell me what i should get for my 87 Mustang. So far i have exhaust, intake, gears, tri ax shifter, clutch cable, k&N, Distributor, plugs and wires. I want something to give me more power, but i dont want to spend much, any suggestions? I was thinking about pullies, but i hear bad things. thanks, Brent
How about a little detail. When you say intake and exaust, do you mean a cold air kit and catback, or do you have headers and a different intake manifold? Pullies? good bang for the buck but what alternator do you have, what accesories do you run? Heads and lower intake are the biggest bottlenecks.
i have hooker headers, Flowmaster Mufflers, cold air intake, x-pipe, i have the stock alternator. I usually use my CD Player/ Radio, i rarely ever use A/C.
Dump the A/C, that's a free mod not sure how much power it would give as AC systems don't take power unless you're using it. But I bet it would save a few pounds. Take apart the interior and remove all that tar stuff from the floor boards, another few pounds. Removing weight is cheap and effective.
When you say flowmaster mufflers, you mean 2.5 in catbacK? If not start there. Do the pullies. Are your intentions to keep it SD?
I disagree with dumping the A/C, keep it until the car is rarely driven or is a race car. There's not enough weight there to make any difference on the street.
how about a throttle body or mass air meter? do you ever go to the track? if so, some type of sticky tire works great.
I agree with what was said above, go for the pulleys, if you have any problems, take them off. I had them on my '87 and I never had any problems. Also keep the A/C, I made the mistake of taking it off a long time ago while it was still working and have regreted ever since. Instead of getting rid of the A/C, ditch the smog pump. Another easy mod you could do is an electric fan, it frees up a little power. I did the pulleys and fan the same time on my car and it made it rev up faster and I did notice a little difference in performance, also it can increase gas mileage, although it didn't in my case. Also an aluminum driveshaft may free up a little power and replace old u joints at the same time and take away any high vibrations with the gears. Just a few suggestions off the top of my head, hope it helps.
as stated above, the aluminum driveshaft is a really cheap and easy mod which also replaces your worn out U joints at the same time. You can get them for $150-175
hehe People like me don't need AC, hot for like a week then it's -30 for (what feels like) 11.3 months... Damn Canada!
Thanks a lot for the info guys, you gave me some good ideas. 2000xp8, yes i do plan on keeping it street drivin. Brent

Review by
Added: December 24, 2010
"I'm having a dick attack!" These words are, at one point, uttered by Robert De Niro, arguably one of the greatest actors in the history of cinema. At this point in the film his character, Jack Byrnes, is wearing a robe with his penis sticking out a few inches because he's taken an erectile dysfunction medication to improve his sex life. In truth, De Niro has several moments like this in the film. I cringed a few times watching this once great actor stoop to such lows in the name of crude and, many times, fruitless attempts at humor. What in the hell has happened to this man? Does he genuinely not care anymore? Has he given up? You bet your focking ass he has.
So here's the deal -- this whole film revolves around a birthday party for the twins belonging to Greg (Ben Stiller) and Pam (Teri Polo). Jack (Robert De Niro) gives Greg this whole speech about being the 'godfocker' and being ready to lead the family in the event of Jack's demise. You see, Jack has a wee heart attack early in the film and is now thinking about the end. Enter Kevin (Owen Wilson) who has come back into the picture to make things even more complicated. Jessica Alba co-stars as a pharmaceutical rep who has the hots for Focker; Laura Dern as the headmistress of a prestigious early learning school; and Harvey Kietel as a day laborer.
I neglect to mention both Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand because there is really no reason for them to be in this film. It's almost like they were thrown in at the last minute. Their scenes make no sense, don't connect to the central plot and have nothing behind them. In truth, Streisand is particularly bland and uneventful here. For a woman who is so selective about what she does, "Little Fockers" will always be an enigma to me. Elsewhere, Stiller does what he always does but seems to be having less fun doing it. I have to think he is just as tired as we are of seeing this crap. Owen Wilson is the brightest spot of the entire film. Sure he's doing Owen Wilson but he has the best material and seems to be enjoying himself. The same can be said for Laura Dern who takes a very small role and really does some interesting things with it.
The first "Meet the Parents" film was flat out funny. It showed us De Niro could do comedy and it was well written, acted and composed. "Meet the Fockers" was a lame attempt to cash in on the success of the first film and only managed a hand full of genuine laughs. "Little Fockers" is no better or worse than the second film. It has a few laughs but none as memorable as in the first film. The worst thing about the new film is that they've made it so crude and relied heavily on gross-out humor. The first film didn't need that to be funny. "Little Fockers" is not a disaster but I do hope it ends this franchise. Please go out on a mediocre note. 5/10.

Completely agree with the review, the "Fockers" trilogy is completely played out anymore, and this movie seemed like a cash in from all of them.

Show Up!Asobi SeksuThere's nothing better than being a part of something that's happening right now. My superficial preoccupation with discovering the newest, secret-est band is an exercise in self indulgence I'm happy to entertain, especially when it leads me to something as exceptionally unique as Brooklyn's Asobi Seksu. Desperately fending off narrow categorization as "shoegaze revivalist dreampop," Asobi Seksu—"playful sex" in colloquial Japanese—is a straight-up jam band for the indie set. Acid-rimmed, stereophonic keys and beautifully droned vocal harmonies compound into a divine alloy of hippie and hipster; a welcome blast of warmth from New York's frigid post-Strokes alternative rock scene. Singer Yuki Chikudate is the group's dynamic front-pixie, wistfully crooning over James Hanna's reverb-drenched guitars without ever seeming self-aware. It's the sonic equivalent of getting stoned and watching cartoons. "We're trying to be noisy and still write good songs," Hanna said during a phone interview, basking in the warmth of a myriad shimmering record reviews. "Since this album came out, we've had a lot more people interested in us. The shows have been better. Everything's been better." Citrus, Asobi Seksu's second album, has received significant critical attention since its release in May 2006. In the most conventional sense, it's one of the year's best offerings, bringing indie back to a simpler time and reeling in our collective cynicism. Simultaneously gorgeous, anguished and naive, Citrus, and Asobi Seksu as a whole, is a valentine to those who never lost faith in the power of pop music. Asobi Seksu plays with Mates of State on Tuesday, Nov. 28, at the Launchpad. Tickets for the all-ages show are $10 at the door, or $11 in advance at Natural Sound and virtuous.com. | Today's EventsT-Rextasy • garage, punk • Mount Ivy • space rock • Emma Lee Toyoda at Burts Tiki LoungeKreator • thrash metal at Historic El Rey TheaterSeth Hoffman • folk, acoustic at Santa Fe Brewing Co.More Recommended Events ›› | |

….. Anselmo Ralph….. Work done by Márcia & Odília - EAH
….Biography…. Anselmo Ralph was born in 1981 in Luanda, Angola and attended high school there. Then he immigrated to New York to finish his studies where he graduated in accounting in the Community College of the Manhattan borough of New York. In the 1990s, Anselmo lived some years in Madrid (Spain), and it was there where he discovered his passion for music and became a great admirer of the most popular Dominican's singer called Juan Luis Guerra. This had an impact and a major influence on Anselm's future career as a musician. After belonging to a Latin rock'n'roll band in New York, Anselmo began making his projects as a solo artist. In January 2006 he released his first album 'Love Stories' Produced by Good Sound Records, owned by the artist. This album is dominated by the R & B music genre. In 2006 he was nominated for Best African Artist, at the gala of the MTV Europe Music Awards 2006 in November in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Testing for unit roots on heterogeneous panels: A sequential approach
The is a growing trend of criticism against the use of panel data unit root test for assessing hypotheses such as the purchasing power parity. The usual argument of a gain in power with respect to univariate unit root tests is not relevant as different nulls are involved when testing on panel data. In the context of a comparative, multi-country, study, inference based on individual unit root tests suffers mainly from a huge size distortion, even more than from low power. When the null hypothesis is -as usually in comparative research- a number of countries for which the variable of interest follows a unit root process, we propose to adopt a sequential strategy, as a way to combine a rigourous control over the size with the search for satisfactory power. We show how usual statistics have to be adapted, and we illustrate the implementation of this strategy both through simulation and through an empirical application to the PPP hypothesis within the OECD countries.

text: Bill Belichick No Longer Owns A Park Slope Brownstone; Bill Belichick Owned A Park Slope BrowstoneIsaac Rauch9/29/12 2:10pmFiled to: Bill BelichickPark SlopeNew England PatriotsphlegmNew York CityReal EstateMistressesNewsSports13EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink Ah, Park Slope: where diligently hip mothers push extravagant strollers into studiously low-key coffee shops, where you're nobody if you don't get your kale at the most organic of the four farmer's markets on your block, where you retire at 45 after your loosely-defined art collective produces no art in twenty years, something about fixed-gear bicycles goes [here], you get the idea: Bill Belicheck owned a brownstone in Park Slope for six years before selling it sometime in the past month. Weird. Advertisement The Observer has the details and speculates on the meaning behind the sale:On the one hand, Mr. Belichick has made a little money on the sale of the townhouse, netting $2.75 million, according to city records. Not bad considering that he paid $2.2 million for the five-bedroom, three-bath residence back in 2006.But on the other hand, the house was allegedly a love nest for Mr. Belichick and mistress Sharon Shenocca, whom Mr. Belichick was rumored to have taken up with after splitting from his longtime wife in 2006. Or, if not a love nest, at least a friendly benefit of Ms. Shenocca's close relationship with Mr. Belichick. Whatever the state of relations, or lack thereof, between Mr. Belichick and Ms. Shenocca, their love affair with the Park Slope townhouse is fini.Is this why Belichick has been so...phlegmatic recently? It is very hard to imagine Bill Belichick spending any time in Park Slope, and harder still to when you hear about the brownstone itself: A double parlor, lots of windowed rooms with Southern exposures, a library with a fireplace and a large garden (it's no football field, but there's space enough to sun). Listing photos show a place disappointingly devoid of big screen TVs and sports memorabilia.Space enough to sun? Yeah, Belichick's never been there. That's the brownstone in question above, and that's also the face Belichick made when he decided to sell it.

Haiti Relief Effort!! You Can Help!!
I have felt so much sadness over this disaster in Haiti along with other disasters that happen all over the world. I always want to help but never end up doing anything unless it is through a church service project.
Well this time I'm not going to sit idly by and just pray that they get some relief over there. I actually want to be proactive. This is where all you bloggers out there come in! I am going to be putting together some hygiene kits and quilts and really need some donations of either items for the kits or money to buy items. I have a button on my side bar that you can donate money (even just a couple dollars) if you don't have time to get the items and send them to me.
Below is a list of the things needed for the hygiene kits and things needed for the quilts. You can send finished kits/quilts or various items in any amounts. d I want to be able to take these items to the LDS Humanitarian Service Center (where they will ship these items for us) by March 13. My goal is 20 quilts and 200 hygiene kits. I don't want to put my address on here but you can email me for my address. joykristal at gmail dot com
Please refer to THIS link for more instructions on the quilts and humanitarian aid kits.
- Material (cotton, cotton/poly blend, or flannel)
- 6-8oz bonded batting
- Gallon size ziplock bag
- 2 unbreakable combs without sharp handles
- 4 toothbrushes (in an unopened package)
- 1 tube of toothpaste (6-8oz, no pumps)
- 2 bars of soap (3.5-5oz each)
- 2 hand towels (approx. 15x25 inches)
- (dish towels and washcloths not acceptable)
Please link this on your blog, facebook, whatever. Tell your friends, family, co-workers, make it a party! Lets spread the word! You can make a difference!

Christmas and New Year happenings
I needed a change with my hair and so my neighbor chopped it off and also cut Regan's. I LOVE it!! Afterward, the girls wanted some pictures taken with our new doo's so we got our silly on. What cute kids I have.
We had some pictures taken on Sunday. I made these skirts for the girls for Christmas and I loved them so much that I had to make me one.
Sophie loves her 'bootiful' dress.
The girls kept running in circles chasing eachother.
I made this quilt for Jason for Christmas. It is a twin size and a big thanks to my mom for helping me to get it done. I must say that I LOVE it. I love the colors. I love the wonky blocks. I love the quilting And I love the fabric.
This is the back of the quilt. I love it as much as the front. I did mini wonky blocks to kind of tie in with the front.
I had an old sweater that didn't fit anymore, so I took it apart and made it into a sweater dress for Sophie.

These days, though, he resides in the royal county of Gloucestershire, commutes past the Hills that inspired Elgar's Pomp and Circumstance, and spends most of his waking hours in God's Country. So, let's face it, he's practically an Englishman.
If you want to be picky, then the clinching fact is this. Around this time next season, he'll have been gracing the rugby grounds of the Premiership for longer than he did the same back home. Those years, he'll tell you, have involved a change in culture on the pitch as well as off it.
"It's much different from rugby in South Africa," he says of life in the Premiership. "It's not as open. It's a much more closed physical came and the structure of the season is much more demanding on you as a player than the South African and Southern Hemisphere season.
"When I came, I felt that my international career was over. I just wanted to come over to Gloucester and enjoy the game," he explains. He did just that.
The Cherry & Whites blitzed the Premiership in 2002-2003 - but not the play-off final - and he found himself on the plane to Australia for a World Cup campaign that he'd given up hope of being involved in.
The tournament didn't bring much happiness, and neither did his return to Kingsholm. In Christmas week, he damaged his anterior cruciate and medial ligaments against Quins and, after a scan, steeled himself for months on the sidelines.
As he rehabbed, though, contract negotiations to extend his stay slowed and Warriors director of rugby John Brain made him an offer he couldn't refuse. The rest, so far as Sixways is concerned, is club history.
He already had an idea of what to expect in Worcester. His old pal Werner Swannepoel - with whom he still has a restaurant business interest back in Joburg - had just been forced to call time on a Worcester career.
Thinus arrived at a time when life in and around the club was that intoxicating mix of heart-fluttering apprehension and blind excitement after ram-raiding the doors to the Premiership. Pat Sanderson and Thomas Lombard had soothed nerves by investing their belief and careers in the things the Warriors faithful already believed in, and so had Thinus.
If his return from serious injury made him something of an unknown quantity, it only lasted until the opening match against Falcons. He had a presence that was more than the sum of the easy stride, the blistering pace and the power that underpinned it. He's been a favourite ever since.
It's no secret that he's musing over what will occupy him when his boots have been cleaned for the last time. In one shape or form, he'll be reaching for the sky.
"It's not far off, maybe a couple of years as I'm 32 in February," admits the man who's made the transition from pitch to TV pundit. "That's been for a bit of fun, really, a bit of exposure to get some confidence if an opportunity arose to get involved. It's also helped me be more comfortable speaking English in front of a wide audience."
But it wouldn't be his first option after rugby.
"If I really could, I'd do flying. That's my other passion. I started when I came over. I just needed a distraction from rugby. Because I've always been interested in flying since I was a young boy, I felt that this was the time to break the week up and go and do something else."
So far this season, there's been precious little time to open his logbook.
"I try to go once a month, but I haven't been for quite a while now," he admits. "The pre-season was a bit tough, so days off were a question of 'stay at home and try to recover'. But I need to pick it up and build hours before I can qualify to do my commercial licence."
If that day comes, and he swaps life on the wing for life in the air, however, he could still be calling England home for a few years yet.
"I'd like to (go back to Joburg) when I retire, but it all depends on what I'm going to do and where the opportunities are going to be to do it."
The sky could, indeed, be the limit.

Reginald Jirod Jefferson (born September 25, 1968 in Tallahassee, Florida) is a former designated hitter who played for the Cincinnati Reds, Cleveland Indians, Seattle Mariners and the Boston Red Sox.
Playing career[edit]
Reggie attended Lincoln High School in Tallahassee; he was a three-sport star, lettering in baseball, basketball and football.
He played from 1991 to 1999. He was traded in the winter of 1993 by Cleveland to Seattle for speedy shortstop Omar Vizquel. He also played one season in Japan for the Seibu Lions in 2000.
For the Red Sox in 1996, he hit for a batting average of .347 which would have been third highest in the league if not for falling short in at-bats needed and was given the nickname 'The Miracle' by faithful Red Sox fans. Unable to hit left-handed pitchers, he was left off the 1999 playoff roster as a result. Jefferson stormed off and would never play major league baseball again.[1]
Post-playing career[edit]
Jefferson has also served as a player agent.[2] He was the hitting coach of the Albuquerque Isotopes in 2005 and the University of South Florida starting in 2006.

Video Du Jour: Michael Des Barres Band
January in Texas means one thing: SXSW is close at hand. Now the big event doesn't happen until March but it's not too early to begin getting ready for the annual craziness in Austin.
For us, one of the perennial fixtures of SXSW is singer/actor/raconteur Michael Des Barres. The former Power Station singer and "MacGyver" TV bad guy has shown up and played in Austin more times than we can count – although we've missed him the past two years. But he's a sure bet to make a reappearance on South Congress or one of the backwaters of SXSW this year.
So, to kick off the anticipation, here's "You're My Pain Killer" from Michael's latest CD, Carnaby Street.
