Winter safety not just for skiing, snowmobiling
Thousands of kids injured every year sledding
JANESVILLE, Wis. - According to a 2010 study, about 20,000 thousand kids get hurt sledding every year.
It's not the speed that has doctors and nurses concerned. It's the collisions with other sledders.
There were plenty of those other sledders during Saturday's milder weather, including some at Ardon Park in Janesville.
For Nikki Ruger's family, sledding is a winter vacation tradition.
"We've been sledding for the last three days," said Ruger.
Jason Rebout of Janesville also said that sledding is a family affair.
"This is a pretty good hill, you can get some pretty good speed but then nobody ends up getting hit at the bottom," Rebout said.
But is that true? It actually seems like the bottom of the hill is where the concern lies for most folks.
"We just try to make sure we watch out for others," said Ruger. "We don't let our son go down or we don't go down if there's anybody in the way; make sure everyone is cleared out of the way first."
Andrea Hughes, a RN at St Mary's Janesville Hospital said most sledding injuries happen at the end of the run, particularly if the run ends into trees, a road or a parking lot.
"If you have a shorter hill with a longer flat surface at the end then you have plenty of room to stop without running into any obstacles at the end," Hughes said.
But even if sledders manage to avoid those hazards they still need to worry about colliding with other sledders.
That's why some companies make helmets specifically for winter activities such as sledding.
Hughes said most helmets can provide some level of protection in case bumps of the head occur.
"Wearing a helmet, it kind of acts as a cushion for your brain," Hughes said. "So that the helmet takes the brunt of the force if you hit something with your head."
At Ardon Park in Janesville, helmets were pretty scarce. Rebout feels that the idea of wearing one likely won't catch on.
"Probably not. I think we stay pretty safe, so I don't get too concerned about that," said Rebout.
Whether playing in the snow or speeding down the hill, Hughes said safety should be a priority to keep family traditions going strong.
Hughes also recommends dressing appropriately for the weather, including hats, gloves or mittens, and boots. She said to avoid scarves because they could get tangled on your sled.
If you do get hurt, she said to pay close attention to your body afterwards. Cases of headaches or nausea should be checked out just to make sure no serious injuries are involved.

My two favorite sentences in the whole article:
The White House was unaware of the subpoenas, spokesman Jay Carney told reporters Monday night.
"We are not involved in decisions made in connection with criminal investigations, as those matters are handled independently by the Justice Department," Carney said.
Reminds me of Schultz on that great old TV classic "Hogan's Heroes" "I know nothink, nothink!"
Seems the executive branch has no idea what is going on anywhere and is not responsible for anything that happens under its watch!! Would be hilarious if it weren't so serious. I think I preferred Bush's "I'm the decider" myself. At least he was taking responsibility.
Any doctrine that weakens personal responsibility for judgment and for action helps create the attitudes that welcome and support the totalitarian state.
(John Dewey)
Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation; for 'tis better to be alone than in bad company.
(George Washington)
Gig'em Aggies!! BTCO'77HOO t.u.!!
Ha! This is hilarious. Holder knows nothing about it, as he is saying right now. Does anybody know anything about anything in the department they run? At the very least, Holder should be relieved due to total incompetent managment practices.
That can be said about obama as well. He never knows anything about anything!!! His handlers are doing a great job of keeping him away from everything. He sorta reminds me of the Wizard of Oz.

Spooky España
The National Hispanic Cultural Center's ongoing Spanish film series takes an entertaining diversion this month with Vampires, Demons and the Goth. This mini-retrospective leapfrogs from 1929 to 2005 to examine the history of the Spanish horror genre. The series begins on Thursday, Feb. 5, with 1959's El Cebo, about a seemingly timid man who hides a second pathological personality guilty of kidnapping and murdering little girls. On Thursday, Feb. 12, the series continues with 1988's Amanece, Que No Es Poco, a surrealist comedy in which an engineering professor returns to his native Spain to discover that his mother has been murdered. On Feb. 19, it's Jess Franco's delirious 1998 flick Vampire Blues and on Feb. 26, it's Guillem Morales' 2005 thriller El Habitante Incierto. All films are presented in Spanish with English subtitles. All films begin at 7 p.m. in the NHCC's Bank of America Theater. Entrance is free, but seating is limited. For more info on Vampires, Demons and the Goth, log on to albuquerque.cervantes.es.
Pilgrimage to a Premiere
Also at the National Hispanic Cultural Center this month, the "100 percent independent, New Mexican film" Descansos will receive its world premiere. On Friday, Feb. 6, at 6:30 p.m. the Bank of America Theater will show the film and host a 30-minute question and answer session with the film's director and producers. Descansos consists of eight vignettes about love, loss and death and the many steps we take in between. The story spans all the way across northern New Mexico--from Albuquerque to Taos to the tiny village of Chimayo--and concentrates on why people make the Lenten pilgrimage to El Santuario de Chimayo every year. Special attention is paid, of course, to the many roadside shrines known as descansos. The film was written, directed and edited by Chris Roybal of Arroyo Seco, N.M. Admission to this special screening is free. The NHCC is located at 1701 Fourth Street SW. For more information on Descansos, log on to theincrediblefilms.com.

Education ResourceNotes for Secondary students and teachers
The nine works featured below touch on the following key themes of place made: Australian Print Workshop:
- symbols and iconography
- personal and shared histories
- real journeys and imagined journeys.
It is important to consider that these themes are not restricted to the selected works. Largely descriptive and interpretive, the brief texts that accompany the works can be seen as reference points for exploring the ideas within the whole exhibition. The 'Research' and 'Making' tasks for each work are a further guide towards deepening students' understandings of these themes.
Information regarding techniques employed in these works can be found at the following site: coskunfineart.com

Ruth Johnstone
Cypress II 1986
Printed in rich tones ranging from the palest of greys to a deep, velvety black, these images have the power to stir the imagination and activate the subconscious. Johnstone's earth-bound trees emerge like dark flames leaping high into the air. Their twisting forms dominate each print, appearing like large burns or stains against the turbulent skies. In these images the forces of nature can be seen as symbols of an uneasy emotional state. These are not pleasant pictures of a park in bright sunshine. Johnstone's trees and their settings suggest a troubling sense of unrest. They are apocalyptic and foreboding, as if a storm is brewing in silence, getting ready to erupt.
Compare Ruth Johnstone's Cypress II with the cypress trees painted and drawn by 19th-century artist Vincent Van Gogh. What are the similarities? What are the differences?
Draw a tree from observation using charcoal or conté. Look closely, not just at the tree, but at its shadows. Remember the impact of your artistic choices. Make sure that you consider the relationship between the size of your paper and the size of the tree. Consider the pressure of the charcoal or conté on the page. Consider the difference in effect between shading and line work.

Migrants in Fitzroy 1990
Although this lithograph was printed in 1990 the image recalls the 1950s, when many migrants settled in Australia. The inner Melbourne suburb of Fitzroy in particular attracted migrants from all over Europe. Leaving their families and friends, and arriving with very few belongings, these migrants arrived in Australia hoping to create a new life for themselves. Dickerson's post World War II migrants appear remote and austere. Their mask-like faces are composed of sharp angles and heavy shadowing. While the male figure seems somewhat hardened, the female appears sad. Her hand touches her face almost as if to wipe a tear away. Although their dress can be associated with the 1950s, visually there are no clues to locate these migrants to any specific landmark. The figures blend into the blurry background.
How would your lifestyle be different if you lived in the 1950s?
Use black paper to cut out upper body parts: head, arms, forearms, hands and torso. Assemble these shapes on white paper to form an upper body and then trace around these shapes. Change the angles of the shapes (for example, tilt the head and lift the arms) and then trace around these shapes. Continue to change the gesture of the figure to create a series of moods and emotions.
Tim Maguire

Hollyhocks 1991
Tim Maguire is known for his large-scale representations of fragments of images from European still-life paintings of the 17th century. Hollyhocks is more about the idea of depicting nature than it is about nature itself. By concentrating on a small section of a larger picture, Maguire draws attention to the process of layering colour to depict the play of light on the surface of the petals. Maguire uses this process to create a sense of depth. The hollyhocks in this lithograph emerge from a dark and shadowy background. Maguire's colour range is rich. Comprising soft rosy pinks, buttery yellows, golden oranges, creamy whites and rich browns, Maguire's palette captures the subtlety of the historical oil paintings used as source material for this image.
Look at 17th century Dutch still-life painting. These paintings are still incredibly popular. Why do you think this is so?
Practice layering colour using coloured pencils or chalk pastels. First sort your pencils into tonal groups. For example, put all of the pinks, reds and oranges together. Then try layering a light shade of orange over a light shade of red. What happens? Try layering a light shade of pink over your orange/red shading. What happens? Make as many combinations of layered colour as you can.

Dale Hickey
Kim Westcott, printer
Yellow square, 1993
In the 1960s Hickey was known for his minimalist, geometric abstract paintings. In later works, such as this lithograph, Hickey makes references to his past. Yellow square appears both as an abstract composition and an interior still-life scene. It can be seen as a yellow square bordered by black and speckled yellow/ white. It can also be understood as a yellow, square canvas resting on a black floor and leaning against the yellow/white wall. Hickey has simplified an interior (possibly his studio), reducing it to three coloured shapes. The crisp edges of his works from the 1960s are absent. Replacing this sharpness with a hand-made softness, Hickey highlights the place of the artist in his process of making art.
Find out about minimalism and colour field painting. What do these terms mean? When did artists start making this type of art? Find out about an exhibition in Melbourne in the 1960s called The field.
Organise single coloured plastic objects to make a grouping that is both a still life and an arrangement of colour and shape.

William Robinson

Kim Westcott, printer's assistant
Creation landscape – Man and the Spheres I–III 1991
Between 1988 and 1997 William Robinson concentrated on the Biblical theme of Creation, as outlined in the book of Genesis. The lush growth, mature tree trunks, soft sprouting tree ferns and delicate mosses depicted in this series of lithographs, Creation landscape – Man and the Spheres, celebrates the environment. Robinson's Creation landscapes are devoid of fauna. The land and its vegetation suggest a time long before creatures inhabited the earth. We see the forest by moonlight and the starry sky adds a mystical quality to this place; a stream of water flows through the landscape as if to nourish the earth. Robinson includes many focal points. There are multiple viewpoints and landforms, and plants sprout in all sorts of directions. The viewer is invited to look in, out, across, up and down all at the same time.
Read the first part of the book of Genesis from the Bible, which describes the world being created. Is there a connection between the Bible text and these prints?
Draw or paint two landscape paintings of the same place. In the first one imagine that you are a bird perched high in a tree looking down and illustrate this view. In the second, imagine that you are a snake looking up from the forest floor and illustrate this view.

Judy Watson
Martin King, printer
Pool 1998
Judy Watson has an interest in historical objects made by her people that have found their way into museum collections. Such objects were and are still considered significant to and powerful for her people. Many of these objects were given to museums by early European explorers. In her prints Watson does not replicate these objects exactly in a scientific manner. The three wedge-shaped forms on the left of the print are derived from a sheath for a stone knife. The objects are obscured, not only through their lack of detail, but also by a shift in context. We see these objects not as clinical artefacts, but within washes of colour and mystical spirals. In this more abstract context they have stronger links with memory and personal history than with museums and artefacts.
Make a comparison between seeing Aboriginal art objects in a science museum and seeing them in an art gallery. What are the differences? What are the similarities? Do you think our understanding of an art object depends on where we see that object? Explain why or why not.
Make a series of four drawings of the same object. The first should be the most detailed. In each of the following drawings, reduce the amount of detail so that you progress from a highly descriptive drawing of the object to an obscured image of the object.
John Wolseley
Martin King, printer
There is no desert but was once a name – Jabes 1997
In this series of prints John Wolseley shares the experiences of one of his trips into the Australian desert. Wolseley's landscapes encourage the viewer to participate in his journey across an arid terrain that teams with life. References to flora and fauna are scattered like notes in a journal across his images. The intricate details of Wolseley's imagery emerge and recede as the viewer's eyes scan over the landscape. His works are like maps made from an intense investigation and exploration. Unlike conventional maps, these works also examine time and space. Wolseley is an observer and a traveller, and his prints can be seen as the documentation of his experiences in which he records nature and his response to it.
InThere is no desert but was once a name – Jabes Wolseley has created a type of visual diary. Imagine you are the artist travelling through this landscape. Using the details in the print, write a short diary entry about your journey.
Make a picture that depicts a journey you have made. It might be from your home to your school, or perhaps a bushwalk you have taken. Include signs of life, weather and landscape features that are significant to you.

Detroit had an industrial based economy. When the jobs left, people didn't simply decide to go on welfare. The people left as well to look for employment elsewhere. The population of Detroit has declined from about 1.5 million in the 1970s (when manufacturing jobs started to leave) to a population of about 700k now. Detroit has lost about 25% of its population in the last 10 years.
With the loss of jobs, businesses, and population, came the loss of city revenues needed to run and support the city, so city services began to disappear, leading to further decline. Unfortunately, Detroit has not been able to attract enough new business to replace what it lost.
Like I said, there were many contributing factors to why this all happened, but welfare programs really wasn't one of them.

| If you need to see a specialist, ask your primary care physician for a recommendation. "Patients sometimes think that doctors get kickbacks for referrals. That's absolutely not true," says Dana Simpler, M.D., a primary care physician in Baltimore. Doctors make referrals because they want their patients being treated by someone who has a proven track record in their field of expertise. "If I don't have a working history with the physician you choose, I can't vouch for her treatment plans or outcomes," says Dr. Simpler.

| Unfortunately, your sister's favorite doctor might not take your insurance. So before you make an appointment, log on to your health insurer's website to access their list of covered providers. Simply select the type of doctor you're looking for (a dermatologist or pediatrician) and enter your zip code and the number of miles you're willing to travel. Once you've found a couple of doctors who meet your criteria, call and find out if they're accepting new patients.

| Once you've found a doctor you think is a good fit, do a background check with the Federation of State Medical Boards. For a fee, you can find out whether the physician was ever disciplined by the medical board for violations such as prescribing medications to patients who don't need them or sexual misconduct. You'll also find information about his or her education, licensing, specialties and board certifications. Your state's medical board website might also have the same information.

| Word of mouth is the number-one way that people find their doctors, according to a 2008 survey conducted by the Center for Studying Health System Change. Ask family, friends, co-workers and neighbors for a recommendation. But don't just get a name. Ask questions. Find out how long they've been seeing this doctor, why they like her, how long they usually wait and whether it's easy to get an appointment, especially on short notice.

| HealthGrades, Vitals, and RateMDs allow patients to post doctor reviews and rate their satisfaction on everything from wait time to office friendliness to bedside manner. While this info can be helpful, remember it's also highly subjective. "People have differing opinions about what makes a good doctor, just as they do about movies and books," says Simpler. Be discerning. If the complaints are similar and there are a lot of them, you might want to scratch that practitioner off of your list. Also check out his personal and professional Facebook pages as well as his practice's website.

| Once you've narrowed your selection, consider scheduling an informational session with your top choices. In addition to making sure the doctor's a good fit for your needs, you can survey the office and chat with staff. "This is the time to inquire about wait times, scheduling for emergency problems, accessibility during and after hours if you have questions, and to find out more about the doctor's training and medical philosophy," says Maysel Kemp White, Ph.D., president of the American Academy on Communication in Healthcare. Keep in mind that not all physicians have the time to meet with prospective patients. Others may charge a fee that's unlikely to be covered by insurance.

| Confidence in a doctor is as important as comfort. (Some would even argue that it's more vital.) "Some highly-skilled, well-respected doctors have terrible bedside manners," says Simpler. "This doesn't mean you'll get bad medical advice or treatment." Don't automatically rule out a physician simply because you don't feel warm fuzzies for her. In the end, what matters most is that you get the care you need to lead a long and healthy life.

Carson Palmer used to be a top flight quarteback in the NFL. He is no longer. He might be just first sexy name we'll hear this offseason of a once-good quarterback looking for a home. Easy to connect the Miami Dolphins to him or others considering their situation.
Palmer just doesn't have it anymore though. In fact, I'd argue the former #1 overall pick was never that great to begin with. He had one outstanding season, followed by a pretty good one. That is pretty the extent of it. He threw 20 INT last year, the second time he's had that many in his career. He threw some really terrible passes last year too, some that were mind-numbing interceptions, others that missed wide-open targets completely.

eifert would be awesome in phin uni dontchya think?
I wouldn't do or say a thing
I'd tell him to fire himself...
I don't want to say anything to him, it is Ross I would like to talk to
.... i'd throw the car in reverse and run into him again.
I would shake his hand, wish him luck and tell him to focus on acquiring multiple playmakers on both sides of the ball this off season.
I would ask him what his plan was at WR once he traded Brandon Marshall.
I would tell him nothing...because he knows what needs to be done. So instead I would give him a nod of approval.
I would thank him for the phenomenal job he has done here in bringing in playmakers and give him a big hug and not let go.
Ricky Williams: the greatest back in Miami Dolphins history
Not gonna mention names but I know what some of the aquas here would do if they saw Ireland.
And that's just them getting started.

For more
Seniors 62 and older living in district (Steamboat School District RE-2) receive half-price tuition on credit courses at Colorado Mountain College in Steamboat. For more information, call 870-4444 or go to www.coloradomtn.e...
Moffat County residents 62 and older receive free tuition on both credit and noncredit courses at Colorado Northwestern Community College. For more information, call 824-1135 or go to www.cncc.edu.
Benita Bristol, 85, has always understood the importance of higher education. She and her late husband, Everett, helped found Yampa Valley College - now the Alpine Campus at Colorado Mountain College - in the late 1950s.
But it wasn't until Bristol was almost 60 and her four children were grown that she had the opportunity to pursue her associate's degree at the school.
"It was so rewarding, and it was such fun - I just loved my classes," said Bristol, who received her degree with an emphasis in business and political science at age 63.
Never too late
Whether it's to fulfill a dream of a college degree, change careers or simply add new skills, activities and interest to daily life, nontraditional students 50 and older are proving education is a lifelong opportunity.
In 2007, 95-year-old Nola Ochs of Hays, Kan., received her bachelor's degree from Fort Hays State University, becoming the world's oldest college graduate.
Ochs' white hair and cloth tote bag may have stood out among her iPod-wearing counterparts, but her wit, charm and life experience - including firsthand recollections of the Dust Bowl era - helped her meld with other students.
In Bristol's case, it was her business sense that helped gain the camaraderie of her twenty-something classmates.
"I was an old lady, and the kids kind of avoided me until we got to test time in our accounting class," she said. "They realized I was answering a lot of questions. : It wasn't long until I was just one of the kids."
Bristol had wanted to attend college when she was younger but couldn't afford university tuition. Instead, she attended Barnes Business College and worked as a bookkeeper for 50 years.
An empty nest and supportive husband inspired her to take classes at CMC while still working and traveling. She has continued taking academic and lifestyle courses since graduating more than 20 years ago.
"I like to think I'm a little more alert than I would be otherwise and that my outlook on life is a little broader than if I just sat home and knit," she said. "We all need to do something we enjoy - this is my outlet."
Higher education may do more than expand one's outlook and skills. A 2005 University of Toronto study showed more years of education were associated with more active frontal lobes in the brains of older adults. The study suggests this activity may help buffer people from cognitive declines as they age by providing them an alternative cognitive network.
Eye on the goal
Building up cognitive "reserves" may be an added perk for 56-year-old Monica Hose, who is 25 credits away from receiving a Bachelor of Arts degree in interdisciplinary studies - with emphasis in sociology and English - from Adams State College.
Hose, who lives in Eagle County, received her Associate of Arts degree from CMC - she attended classes mostly at the Roaring Fork Campus in Carbondale - when she was 47 and then put her education on hold until her daughter completed college.
She now is balancing coursework - including one to two hours of homework each night - with family and a full-time job working with special needs children.
"It's my turn to be selfish and take care of me, and I've always wanted that degree," Hose said.
Being selfish, in Hose's case, has taken a lot of determination. She is pursuing her degree via distance learning, completing reading and coursework at home and corresponding with professors through e-mail and the phone.
"It's about discipline and desire and looking back at what I've already done," Hose said.
Independent work has made Hose appreciate the classroom and onsite college experience. She hopes to eventually move to a university town to pursue a master's degree in library science and maybe end up working as an archivist for a company.
Keeping active and alert
Community colleges, while offering convenient and affordable paths to higher education, also offer a more interesting and fulfilling lifestyle through a wide variety of recreation and other courses.
John Jepkema, 78, of Craig is a retired math teacher with both a bachelor's and master's degree. Photography, computer courses, hiking and backpacking are just a few of the many courses he's taken at Colorado Northwestern Community College since retiring.
Jepkema enjoys the social interaction with other participants as well as just getting out.
"It keeps me active and mentally alert," said Jepkema, who just returned from a class backpacking trip to Havasu Falls.
Moffat County residents 62 and older receive free tuition for credit and noncredit courses at CNCC, but that's just an added bonus for Jepkema.
"I would sign up for the classes whether they were free or not," he said.
Some states have statewide programs waiving tuition for senior citizens attending public colleges. Colorado is not among them, but seniors should check with individual colleges and universities to see they offer tuition waivers or discounts.

Off-road is the way to go if you want an unforgettable challenge during your Israel trip. Your all-wheel-drive vehicle will take you to sparkling mountain streams, magnificent canyons and forts and caravansaries along roads that are thousands of years old. You'll get to gorgeous, cliff-edge panoramas, and drive in the footsteps of Israel's pioneers and warriors. For example, in two hours around the Upper Galilee village of Gush Halav near Safed, you'll discover the geological secret to the village's strange name, "Block of Milk," a hidden pool, and drink herb tea under the fig trees. Then, there's a Hula Valley route along the old patrol road, which brings you to an out-of-the-way spring on the slopes of the Golan Heights. In the Judean Mountains, you can follow the heroes of 1948 who built the famous Burma Road that saved Jerusalem, or the biblical hero Samson to his birthplace deep in the Mediterranean woodlands. In the Judean Desert, forge along demanding trails through magnificent desertscapes to the Dead Sea. In the Negev, take a thrilling ride down into the unique Makhtesh Ramon and drive along the most famous road in antiquity – the Incense Route. Most trips can include as much or as little hiking as you want, and sleeping under the stars is also an option.
Car-rental companies do rent four-wheel drives, but you can't take them off road (!), and the 1:50,000 maps you must not be without are in Hebrew only. But the good news is that many tour companies offer 4 x 4 tours with experienced driver-guides who will work with you to create a trip with the right mixture of the things you want to see most – nature, history, geology, flora, fauna, and more. Contact the Israel Tour Guides Association or the Society for the Protection of Nature in Israel and start planning your adventure.

Just based on the information you provided in the thread, it looks like you requested a chargeback before letting paypal resolve your issues. Of course paypal is going to think you are the scammer here. Give ebay/paypal time to finish the case. If you go and sh%^ the bed and start doing funds reversals on your credit card there is no case and paypal has no reason to deal with you further.

Obama faces tough choice on Cape Cod wind farm
Jan 26 02:37 PM US/Eastern
By ANDREW MIGA
Associated Press Writer 35 Comments
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama's enthusiasm for alternative energy is being buffeted by two political forces on opposite sides of plans to build the nation's first offshore wind farm off Cape Cod. A leading foe of the $1 billion project is Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., an early and influential backer of Obama's presidential bid. A strong proponent is Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick, a close friend of Obama and a source for some of his best campaign speech lines.
The plan to erect 130 giant turbines across 25 miles of federal waters in Nantucket Sound poses an early test of the president's energy policy, on stark display Monday with Obama's order to re-examine whether California and other states should be allowed to have tougher auto emission standards to combat a build up of greenhouse gases and his directive for the government to get moving on new fuel-efficiency guidelines for the auto industry.
In the final days of George W. Bush's tenure, the Minerals Management Service issued a report saying the wind farm project poses no major environmental problems, clearing the way for the Obama administration to make a final decision on whether to issue a lease for the project. Reviews by the Federal Aviation Administration and the Interior Department's inspector general are still pending.

poet 2
I was late
In the shaking sun of winter
The alley s sleep was serious for me
I wish I know my grandmother s garden had no apple for me

I wouldn't share my colored pencil with no one
When I painted reaching you in waiting lullaby
I knew
The destiny wrote me a roofless sleep and everybody know
But they don't say
I understand as always
I am late

For you
I will be a shy lover like ancient loves
For you

For you

For you

For you
I want a night as a world
For you
I will be an unpatient pennyroyal to see a cold dew
For you

For you

For you ,for you

I woke up
I stared to the window
I did not remember, the rain quarrel with me
How is to be sad for you
I love this love story with you
My dream is wrapped with the wind
They ruined the sun alley for moonlight arrival
It is the sound of rain kiss at the moment , that is passing my window

The rain feel pity for me
Love s sarrow is beautiful
I will wait for the first spring to see rain s friendship
The rain is my tear s competitor
And you are my rain
poet 5
A glance is remained from your eye s past
A cloud is lost from yesterday s sunset
I reached to night when
I was passing your story
I was alone
To define that memory
The memory made me a proud
The king song of my smile
Found the breeze in the sound of rain
Thanks to email@example.com for submitting the biography.

The spine is made up of bones (vertebrae) separated by soft cushions (intervertebral discs).
Vertebral fractures occur in thousands of people each year. The main cause of these fractures is osteoporosis. Osteoporosis causes bone to lose strength and become weak and susceptible to fractures.
Using a special x-ray machine, a bone needle is guided through the skin and into the fractured vertebra. A cement-like material called polymethylmethacrylate acrylic cement (PMMA) is injected into the vertebra. The needle is removed and the cement hardens, stabilizing the vertebra.
Vertebroplasty is a relatively new procedure. It helps to stabilize the vertebral fracture which in turn helps reduce or eliminate the patient's pain.

Cybersecurity for the enterprise. There is no silver bullet. But as business becomes more connected and as data moves further outside the organizational walls, enterprises need look at weaknesses in the security chain - and a good place to start is in the supply chain.
Small businesses sit on the "front lines" in the round-the-clock cybercrime battle. Think about how many small businesses, suppliers and customers have access to different areas of an enterprise. Each of these touch points creates another area of exploitation. But small businesses do not generally employ the same strength of security as larger companies because it's complex, costly and resource-intensive.
An enterprise can put all of the onus on its partners, but the result of this approach may not work out too well. If an enterprise wants to get serious about its security, then it must take on the responsibility to:
• Continuously alert its business partners to different threats and vulnerabilities
• Allow them into their threat networks
• Extend their security solutions out to them
• Directly pull the small guys directly under the info-sharing umbrella
This paper examines the insecurity of the supply chain and offers 5 tips to close those backdoors into the enterprise.

Having observed our whizbang President for five years now, I feel qualified to make the following political predictions for the new year. Here is what my crystal ball tells me is in store for us in 2014:
- In January, Republicans will make the astute observation that if Obama wants to hold down healthcare insurance premiums, it might be a grand idea to stop TAXING INSURANCE COMPANIES AND PREMIUMS, as Obamacare Does (or is it DUHes ?). Obviously, those taxes drive up the cost of our insurance premiums. Rep. Ted Cruz (R-TX) says "only a progressive would believe he can make something less expensive by taxing it". When the White House Press Corps asks Obama's Press Secretary, Jay Carney, about the new Obamacare insurance taxes, Carney calls the Republicans "obstructionist" and states, "the American people aren't worried about how much we tax them. They are worried about providing for their families". This gets a hearty round of laughter from the entire press corps, save for the New York Times journalist, who doesn't understand what is so darned funny. He writes an op-ed blaming Fox News and Rush Limbaugh for "dumbing down the White House Press Corp to fool the low-information voters".
When a reporter asked President Obama about his "if you like your plan, you can keep your plan" lie being selected by fact-checker group Politifact as 2013's Lie Of The Year, the President dodged the question. No surprise there, but I think Politifact is wrong. Obama's "if you like your plan" claim about Obamacare, along with many other Obama claims about Obamacare, shouldn't be the lie of the year. They should be the Lies Of The Decade, because Obama has been telling these same lies all along. They didn't start in 2013. Obama and the Democrats lied to the American people almost every step of the way regarding Obamacare. They lied to get it passed, and they are still lying. You can't keep your plan. You can't keep your doctor. You can't even keep your hospital. The plans aren't cheaper. They are more expensive. Not everybody is going to be insured. The average family won't save $2500 in the first year. The problem with the healthcare.gov site isn't a "glitch". The problem is that it wasn't fully tested and it wasn't even fully constructed before it was launched. The website STILL doesn't work, despite administration claims to the contrary. I can testify to that fact, having wasted many hours trying to sign up myself.
Millions more people are having their plans canceled because of Obamacare than are being signed up to date. And even if one does manage to get through the error-filled website, endure all the mind-numbing "please waits", and manage to sign up, the payment portion of the website hasn't even been built. We discovered this in the middle of november during testimony from Medicare Deputy CIO Henry Chao, who estimated that 30-40% of the healthcare exchange's software has not been built. This begs the question, why in the hell did they launch a website that wasn't even finished yet ? The administration knew all this, and we now know that the Obamacare rollout SHOULD have been delayed to spare the American people all this confusion, frustration, and incompetence.
The real GDP (nominal GDP adjusted for inflation) of the United States was $15.79 trillion as of 9/30/13. That is a record high. Our per capita GDP was $49,965 as of 2012. This is the good news. We don't have the highest per capita GDP in the world, but we rank pretty high. Large countries with higher per capita GDP's are Canada and Australia, along with some smaller countries like Luxembourg, Sweden, Norway, Singapore, and a few others.
The not so good news is, government spending is a component of GDP. The most common way to calculate GDP is with this formula: GDP = private consumption + gross investment + government spending + (exports − imports). The reason government spending is the not so good news regarding GDP is because the government has been incurring record amounts of debt in recent years (artificially inflating GDP), as the following chart illustrates:
There are conservatives...and then there are Republicans. There's a big difference between the two, and there are a lot more Republicans than conservatives in Congress.
The budget deal is one of those issues that exposes the difference.
President Obama has stated multiple times that Al Qaeda was "decimated". Here's a typical Obama quote on the subject from November 1st, 2012:
"...the war in Iraq is over, the war in Afghanistan is winding down, Al Qaeda is decimated, Osama Bin Laden is dead".
I hear a lot of talk from the political left about the richest 1%, as if becoming wealthy in America is a bad thing, some kind of sin. It isn't. In fact, the opportunity to become rich in America is one of the things that makes this country great. What would be a sin is if we removed those opportunites from Americans. The Associated Press recently noted that 20% of Americans will be wealthy at some point in their lives. To me, that is fantastic. I want as many Americans as possible to be financially secure, but to the AP, it was a springboard for a discussion of income inequality, as if every person who becomes wealthy is somehow stealing money away from someone else. That belief is an economic myth, based on the false assumption that there is a fixed-sized economic pie, where one person's larger piece means others are getting a smaller piece. The problem with that assumption is, the economic pie is not fixed. It is dynamic, provided that opportunities are available to those who wish to grab them. While our free market capitalist system does create income inequality by definition (winners and losers), it is far preferable to a socialist government-controlled system that stifles opportunity and innovation, promotes mediocrity, and shares the economic pain equally across the population. I don't know how any American could believe otherwise, but many apparently do.
What baffles me even more about the political left is that after they decry income inequality and rail against the rich, they advocate for a bigger, more interventionist government, as if more government is going to solve the problem. Has it never occurred to the left that the government takes money and opportunity AWAY from American citizens, and that more government means more money and opportunity will be taken AWAY from American citizens ? Has it never occurred to the left that more centralized governmental power will make it harder for Americans to succeed ? And most importantly, has it never occurred to the left that the government serves the rich and powerful, because those are the people who are connected and can buy influence ? The government IS the rich and powerful, and like every other ruling class in the history of the world, it looks out for itself first.
First, a bit of positive news. The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the United States grew 3.6% in the third quarter. The less good news is that GDP growth came primarily from inventory buildups, not consumer demand. We'll see if fourth quarter consumer demand (aka, Christmas ?) justifies the inventory growth. It may interest you to look at a modern history of annual U.S. GDP growth, which can be found here. My takeaway from the chart is - we have yet to experience a real recovery from the last recession. GDP growth has been relatively weak ever since. If you compare the current weak recovery to the real recovery that began in 1983 following our last serious recession, you'll see a stark difference.
To emphasize the weakness of this recovery, we still have 1.5 million fewer jobs than we had in 2008. What's even worse is, lots of the jobs that have been created are part time. Consider this chart:
Early this morning, while twiddling my thumbs during yet another endless 'Please Wait' screen on healthcare.gov (sigh. I was so much younger when I began this process), I switched over to another computer window to catch up on my political reading. It was either that or commit hara-kiri out of boredom. I ran across the following quote from President Obama, who was singing the praises of President Obama at a hoity toity Beverly Hills fundraiser last week ($2,500 to $16,200 per ticket, depending on whether the deep-pocketed attendees wanted the gold-plated chicken or the platinum-covered fish). The President said he had accomplished "as much, if not more" than any other President (and he's more humble than the others too !!!). Here's Obama:
"saving an economy from a Great Depression; revitalizing an auto industry that is producing better cars and has come roaring back like nobody believed; doubling our exports; drastically reducing our dependence on foreign oil; doubling fuel efficiency standards; doubling our production of clean energy; reducing the pace of our carbon emissions; ending the war in Iraq; about to end the war in Afghanistan; re-centering our fight against terrorism in a way that respects our values and our ideals; expanding access to college for children all across this country; ending "don't ask, don't tell"; making sure that we are vindicating the notion that everybody should have a fair shot regardless of their sexual orientation, as well as their race and their gender; pushing for equal pay for women; reinstituting research for stem cells."

|OC you are correct he did alot of things right including the last "Hurrah" getting his ashes shot out of flippin cannon!!!
Hey Moonlight,
Hunter S, did drugs! A little drinking too from what I understand.
Good work in tough conditions. We are home.
Nice report. The Weather Gods can really screw you up when you have only a week to fish (or eight days?). Charles Ritz said he never went on a trip of less than three weeks, ceding that one week would be great, one mediocre and one bad. Wonder who was minding the hotel during his forays? Nice work if you can get it.
I generally, even though fully retarded, can get away only for a week at most. "Should have been here last week." "You're a little early, maybe by next week." "Yeah, too bad about the rain, cyclone, tsunami, drone strike, ravenous bears..."
Hope to get on the Dean in one of these future years. Hopefully on a good week.
-- Eric
Dean again...
Well it was interesting and very challenging! First afternoon I managed to hook a pair of Steelheads both hens and very fresh the one I landed was about 8# and had sea lice in the correct amount . That night it rained and it rained and it rained! Next morning I landed another hen as chrome as they can be a minute from the sea and by then we had a doubtful and very optimistic 6" of visibility. Logs were floating down river with a frequency of "Warning" to get the hell of the river as it was on verge of becoming a Flood event. And it did. We got off the river about noon and on Sunday it was in the trees and Latte like for color, we hung out around camp and had a great time chatting with new found friends.
Monday it had dropped below some of the trees and having nothing better to do we went back at it. Though seemigly futile I did have a bite from a what I felt was a Dolly but no other action visibility was optimisticly 6".
Tuesday was a little better as the water was dfropping but not reaslly clearing, but when you are there for one and only one reason you fish, right? Well I had a couple of hang down pulls from a fish and stuck it on the second attempt it was another hen of about 8#.
I could bore with a lot more details but suffice to say at no time was the river in shape but a firm foot hold in OP winter run fishing gave us the "courage"lol to keep flogging along in spite of what I can honestly claim to be the worst fishing conditions imaginable we caught Chrome Bright Sea Lice (infested) Summer Steelheads in a fllod event, so there you go as Hunter S. Thompson said "when the going gets weird the weird turn Pro" .

text: I just listened to Dr. Howard Dean former democrat governor of Vermont on MSNBC say that Family Practitioners could not even pay of their student loans, let alone send their kids to college, based on anticipated income over their lifetime. And that is someone who supported Obama Care. He did not say who he blames for the situation. I wonder who or what is to blame.

Ok friends,
Just picked up a new pup on Sunday. This is the fourth dog I've had at around this age, and the fourth that I've had to do crate training with - but this little guy is giving me fits.
He's in a box in the garage, and sees regular contact from myself, my wife, or one of the kids. We've been getting him out about every 2 hours, plus those times when we seem to hear him yelping. The poor guy just can't seem to get the concept that he's supposed to be crapping outside and not in his box.
I've tried shrinking the size of his kennel by putting a large milk crate in the back of it. I'm taking him out after feedings. I've tried running with him in the back yard to increase the urge to go. When he goes out, we stay in the yard until he makes a deposit - but usually he'll take 20 minutes before he decides he needs to go. When he goes in the kennel, it gets cleaned and disinfected scupulously so that no odor of mess lingers.
The last pup had a few accidents, but generally seemed to get the concept after a few days. But this little guy is making want to pull my hair out.
Any veterans out there with some sort of unconventioal tips? HELP!!

Alan Bennett to read and discuss work
Posted October 8, 2009; 01:11 p.m.
Acclaimed British playwright, screenwriter, actor and essayist Alan Bennett will read from and talk about his work at 5 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 20, in McCosh 50.
Called "England's most endearing man of letters" by critic Richard Corliss, Bennett is a versatile artist who acts and writes for the page, stage, film and television. As a student at Oxford, Bennett planned to become a medieval historian, but his love of theater prevailed after his success in the 1960 comedy revue "Beyond the Fringe," which he co-created along with Peter Cook, Dudley Moore and Jonathan Miller. Some of Bennett's educational experiences are reflected in "The History Boys," which won the 2006 Tony Award and was adapted by Bennett for the screen.
Bennett also adapted his play "The Madness of George III" into a film. His BBC television and radio monologues, "Talking Heads," have been aired on PBS and performed in the United States. His newest play, "The Habit of Art," about poet W.H. Auden and composer Benjamin Britten, opens in London next month, and will be filmed live and screened around the world.Bennett is this fall's Belknap Visitor in the Humanities in the Council of the Humanities. He joins a distinguished roster of eminent writers and artists, including Ian McEwan, Meryl Streep, Chuck Close, Don DeLillo, Arthur Miller and Maurice Sendak, who have come to Princeton through this program.

Vintage China Dinnerware, Antique Pottery, Vintage Porcelain, Antique China Pg 1 Pg 2 Pg 3
Product Details
I fell in
love when I saw this amazing vintage china dinnerware by the French China Co.
This is a small vintage china serving bowl or a berry bowl which measures 7 1/4" x 5 1/4" this bowl has 12 sides.
We have 2 of these bowls - one has some minor discoloration inside and trim color wear. The other a little more discoloration on the inside and greater wear of the trim colors. Both have some crazing.
One of the pieces we have has the Martha Washington mark which I have discovered is a
shape name. I do not know what this pattern name is, yet.
This French China Co. pattern shows a peacock, some of the colors are gold, pink, red, blue, black and green. There is a blue stripe in the bottom of the bowl and gold trim. It is beautiful. The photo above is washed out due to compression to get it online, the colors are very vibrant.
There are no chips or cracks but there is some discoloration on the inside of the F.C. Co small serving bowls or berry bowls and some wear
to the gold trim color. Crazing.
A wonderful vintage china dinnerware find and we have several very unique pieces in this pattern.

George Cuccia
MADISON - George Cuccia, age 94 passed away at home with his family by his side on Thursday, May 2 2013.
He was born in Madison's Greenbush to Henry and Laura Cuccia on Sept 11, 1918. George worked for Schlitz Distributors for over 40 years. He was united in marriage on June 9, 1939 to his high school sweetheart and love of his life, Alice Cavanaugh.
He was an avid fisherman, gardener, bowler, and the longest member of the Italian Workman's Club, being a member for over 73 years.
George was preceded in death by his parents, wife Alice, brothers John, Paul, infant sister Mary, special uncle Vito, and many other relatives and friends. He is survived by daughter Laura, and sons Henry (Karen), George (Gertie), and Rich, grandchildren; Rana (Stijn Vanhauwaert), Jennifer (Barry Dobbs), Robb (Amanda Lorimer), Natalie, Valerie, Shane, Taylor, Ryan, great grandchildren, Noah, Liam, Nicolas, Cameron, and Grace.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 11:00 am on Saturday, May 4, 2013, at St. Maria Goretti Catholic Church, 5313 Flad Ave. Madison, WI 53711, with Fr. Salvatore Cuccia, O.Praem, presiding.
Visitation will be held from 10 am until the time of Mass. In lieu of flowers memorials may be made to www.cleanwisconsin.org to protect Wisconsin's clean air and clean water and advocate for clean energy.
Though his smile is gone forever, and his hand we cannot touch, still we have so many memories of the one we love so much. His memory is our keepsake, with which we will never part; God has him in His keeping, and we have him in our hearts.

Surefire way to influence undecided mainstream Americans...
Exclusive: Democrats Drop 'God' From Party Platform
Guess what? Gods name has been removed from the Democratic National Committee platform.
This is the paragraph that was in the 2008 platform:
We need a government that stands up for the hopes, values, and interests of working people, and gives everyone willing to work hard the chance to make the most of their God-given potential.
Now the words God-given have been removed. The paragraph has been restructured to say this:
We gather to reclaim the basic bargain that built the largest middle class and the most prosperous nation on Earth the simple principle that in America, hard work should pay off, responsibility should be rewarded, and each one of us should be able to go as far as our talent and drive take us.

11.2: Characteristics and Origins of Life
What is life?
How can you tell a blob of organic material from a living creature? What characteristics does something need to be considered alive? Does this photo resemble early Earth? Erupting geysers? Mats of bacteria? Maybe so! Of course, you have to ignore the trees in the distance.
The Origin Of Life
No one knows how or when life first began on the turbulent early Earth. There is little hard evidence from so long ago. Scientists think that it is extremely likely that life began and was wiped out. Possibly even more than once! If there was life, it would have been wiped out by the impact that created the Moon.
This issue of what's living and what's not is important. It helps us to think about the origin of life. When does a blob of organic material become life? As you can see, we need to have a definition of life.
Characteristics of Life
To be considered alive a molecule must:
- be organic. The organic molecules needed are amino acids.
- have a metabolism.
- be capable of replication (be able to reproduce).
Amino acids are molecules of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. These molecules are called the building blocks of life because they create proteins. Proteins are complex organic molecules that make up cells. They are the most abundant class of biological molecules.
Learning About the Origin of Life
To look for information regarding the origin of life, scientists:
- perform experiments to recreate the environmental conditions found at that time.
- study the living creatures that make their homes in extreme environments. These environments are most like Earth's early days.
- seek traces of life left by ancient microorganisms, also called microbes (see Figure below). These include microscopic features or chemistry left by life. It is very difficult to distinguish these from non-biological features.
How can we tell where these microbes have been?
- amino acid: Organic molecules that are the building blocks of life.
- microbe: A microorganism.
- protein: Essential organic material made of amino acids.
- For something to be alive it must be organic, have a metabolism, and be capable of replication.
- Amino acids create proteins. They are the building blocks of life.
- To learn about the origins of life, scientists perform experiments. They study creatures that live in extreme environments. They look for traces of life that were left by ancient microbes.

Ross/Marshalls/TJ Maxx are sure to get these toys eventually. I picked up a few figures yesterday. The only ones I actually liked are the Swamp Viper, Red Ninja, and the Joe trooper; the CC and Cobra Trooper were not too good. I'm waiting for HTS to send me the case I bought before I had seen the figures up close. I will take back the figures I bought once the case arrives.
I wonder if TRU scheduled a huge display to coincide with the previous release date, along with other retail chain tie-ins. These factors have to be nailed down well in advance, I would think, so I suspect there will still be a large Joe presence at retail come the original release date. Ultimately, I think this is a marketing and scheduling disaster for Hasbro. They could have continued to release the PoC/30th line throughout this year.

Like spice? Chorizo, jalapeño cheese and fire-roasted tomatoes create a flavor-packed kick in this nacho slow-cooker dip, a party natural.
Make a south-of-the-border meal by serving this dip over baked potatoes. Or spoon it into tortillas, sprinkle with shredded lettuce and fold for an Mexican wrap.
Ground beef can be used in place of the chorizo sausage. Jazz it up by adding 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin and 1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne) when cooking the beef, onion and garlic.
