POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y. - Four different players registered hat tricks as the Marist men's lacrosse team opened its 2013 season with a come-from-behind 13-9 victory over Stony Brook Saturday afternoon at Tenney Stadium.
Jack Doherty (Yorktown Heights, N.Y.) and Connor Rice (Penfield, N.Y.) each finished with five points on three goals and two assists. Jim Marks (Camillus, N.Y.) and Mike Begley (Brookeville, Md.) both also found the back of the net three times. Freshman Joseph Radin (Long Beach, N.Y.) scored his first career goal. Dave Scarcello (Buffalo, N.Y.) made 12 saves in net for Marist, including seven in the second half. Marist outscored Stony Brook 7-1 in the second half.
Marist (1-0) fell behind early as Stony Brook (0-1), the 2012 America East Champions, scored the first four goals of the game.
Marks finally got the Red Foxes on the board with a goal at the 2:43 mark of the first quarter off of an assist from Doherty. Rice followed up with an unassisted goal just 52 seconds later, coming from behind the net and putting in a high, short-side shot.
The Seawolves scored with 10 seconds remaining in the quarter to take a 5-2 lead.
Rice scored another unassisted goal 3:39 into the second quarter and Begley followed with his first tally 1:23 later to pull Marist within two at 6-4 with 9:58 remaining in the opening half.
Stony Brook scored just 12 seconds later to reclaim a three-goal lead, but Doherty was the beneficiary of being in the right place at the right time to score his first goal of the day. After making a save, Dan Shaughnessy, the Stony Brook goalie, went to make a clearing pass but hit Doherty's stick. The ball bounced back, through Shaughnessy's legs, and into the net to bring the score to 7-5 with 4:30 left in the second quarter.
After another Stony Brook score, Scarcello made a big save with 10 seconds left before halftime. Marist raced down the field and Marks found the back of the net with just two ticks remaining to bring the score to 8-6 at the midway point.
Radin scored his first career goal at the 10:50 mark of the third quarter, nearly one-timing in a pass from Rice. Just over a minute later, freshman Dillon Walker (Wawa, Pa.) fought through a crowd to get a ground ball and found Begley to knot the score at 8-8 with 9:11 left.
Rice completed his hat trick with 5:12 on the clock, on an assist from Gannon Osborn (Canandaigua, N.Y.), to give the Red Foxes their first lead of the afternoon. Begley completed the 5-0 run for Marist with his third score of the game with 3:19 left in the third quarter.
The Seawolves scored with 19 seconds left to make it a one goal game, 10-9, going into the fourth quarter.
Doherty scored twice and Marks added a third insurance goal, all coming in the final 5:35 of the quarter to provide the final margin. Scarcello made four saves in the period to eliminate any chance of a Stony Brook comeback.
Marist will next play on Saturday, Feb. 23 when Sacred Heart visits Tenney Stadium for a 1 p.m. contest.

Just picked up my first mount from a local taxidermist. I have only been hunting about 5 years. For my first three season's 75% of the birds i brought back were widgeons. my hunting buddy bring back a mixed bag, but i seemed to miss everything i shot at that was not a widgeon. Last year this is the only one i got, and the best looking one i have ever got.
He's mounted just about the same aspect i shot him from. thought i'd share. I am very happy with the mount and the dog really likes it.

Whittell soccer cleans up semifinals, moves to state
November 3, 2012
Both Warrior soccer teams earned a trip to state with a clean semifinal sweep in Incline on Friday.
The girls defeated Lovelock 3-0 while the boys took down Yerington 8-2. Both teams will finish regionals today with a regional championship match in Incline. No matter what the outcome, Whittell has secured a spot in state play in Henderson, Nev.
Forvilly leads ladies
Normally a defender, senior Sierra Forvilly led the girls with two goals.
We were playing in different position than we usually play, but we eventually found our grove and Kenya (Maltase) got her shot in," Forvilly said.
Maltase served up two assists to Forvilly and knocked in a goal of her own for the Warriors.
Speedy junior Jenny Shepack also delivered a key assist and standout performance.
Skylar Smith kept the backfield clean and goalkeeper Gisselle Benitez held the shutout with four saves.
Neil nets four
Hats off and than some to Marshall Neil, who went above and beyond to net four goals in the boys semifinal win Friday.
The senior was unstoppable in the game against Yerington with one of his goals finding net from 20-plus yards out.
"Twenty minutes in we started to play as a team really well and started getting goals," Bryce Bronken said.
Mark Waite showed an equally impressive range when he found the net from about 35 yards out.
Bronken and Palmer Chaplin also slammed in goals for the Warriors.

'The Sabres are pressed against the $44 million salary cap, making any deal difficult. If they place one of their injured players on the long-term injury exemption list, the Sabres can spend the prorated portion of his salary. Sabres General Manager Darcy Regier has said he expects everyone back for the playoffs except Gaustad. That means any potential deal would be a dollar-for-dollar swap.'

In ESB there are two styles of armor worn by Prowse. One has the shoulder bells underneath the chest armor (like in ANH), and the other has them mounted at the edges of the chest armor (like in ROTJ). When mounted at the edges, it makes his silhouette broader at the shoulders.
Because I wanted the versatility of being able to match any screen shot, promo still, etc.. I had to have both versions for my ESB display.
Of course, only one set of armor can be displayed on the mannequin at any given time, so I decided to make a bust display for whichever set is not in use.
There's just something about seeing that glossy armor exposed without the cape hiding it.
ESB rocks.

Can you provide water in frame feeders, fondant, and pollen patties so they have everything they need? .
Quote from: bee-nuts on February 24, 2011, 05:08:26 PM Can you provide water in frame feeders, fondant, and pollen patties so they have everything they need? .In Australia there was a research. They asked, can they keep colony stong with patty feeding over the short winter that bees are ready to attack on canola fields then. The hives got very bad nosema and they had less bees in colonies than in natural way hives.YOu see what happens when you collect in USA thousands of colonies to South over winter. Artificial nutritin does not help them enough. Colonies become sick when they do not get food from nature.When things are not OK, colonies aare easy to get chalkbrood and then is takes time to get ridd off it.with 20 years experience Beenuts, I do not recommend any of your proposal. Patty feeding is difficult enough to learn.

syrup needs to be thin to stimulate bees -thin as nectar-syrup needs to be thick for benefit of feed for bees- when you use sub for Protein-There has to be CARBOHYDRATE as-well-thin syrup will provide this as well as stimulate brood rearing-finski feeds huge amounts of sugar syrup to his bees before winter sleep-it is this he is counting on for his carbohydrates-but he gets no brood rearing stimulation from the winter stores-RDY-B
IF YOU WANT A STRONG BUILD UP IN SPRINGRULE 1#Try to get your colonies strong in late summer. It is easier than rear weak hive strong in spring.

Hello everyone,
I have a simple question for all of you! Is it possible to teach either at primary or secondary school levels even though I still haven't finished my degree in second language teaching at Laval university? I am currently undergoing my second year and I still have 2 more practicums yet to be completed. I heard we had to at least have completed the 3rd ^practicum before we could accept job offers. Many schools are lacking English teachers and I would like to start acquiring some more experience in the classroom. What have you guys heard? Have some of you taught classes even though you have not yet completed the 3rd practicum?
Thank you!
Samuel C.

Proud to announce~ I am now a vendor for Repashy Superfoods!!
After spending several months working with Allen on his formulas, I am EXTREMELY proud and excited to announce I will be carrying his total line of formulas! I have noticed amazing growth and health with my fish and invertebrates and this is what I feed in most of my tanks now. I will create a discussion thread, but wanted to put out the formal press release here. So, without further ado!
I will be carrying four formulas to start; Soilent Green, Community Plus, Meat Pie, and Shrimp Souffle.
i will list here an overview of each product and its ingredients. Please limit discussion to the thread I will create following this one.
Community Plus:
This fresh and saltwater formula is our "I want one food for everything" answer that contains a balanced combination of aquatic animal, algae, yeast, and plant ingredients. It is a great choice for a tank with a wide variety of species. It features whole krill meal as the primary ingredient, which is one of the most widely accepted feed ingredients available anywhere. Everybody loves krill, which also contains high levels of chitin that are beneficial for fin development. Community Plus has moderate protein levels to reduce water fouling and satisfy the needs of a wide variety of species.
The Meat Pie formula is extremely high in bio-available protein (>55%), and designed for fresh and saltwater carnivores and scavengers. It includes whole sardine meal, whole squid meal, and whole krill meal as its primary ingredients. Meat Pie replicates protein levels of whole aquatic organisms such as fish, crustaceans, insects, and mollusks as a staple diet for carnivores. Plus, it's great as an occasional treat or for conditioning omnivorous species for breeding or after transport. Meat Pie is also perfect for use in reptiles and amphibians such as various carnivorous species of turtles, newts, and lizards.
This fresh and saltwater formula is labeled for "aufwuchs" eaters. Aufwuchs is a combination of green algae, diatoms, and small plants, along with tiny organisms such as insect larvae, crustaceans, rotifers, protozoans, and snails that live with them on the surface of hard substrates such as rocks. Many species of fish such as Mbuna cichlids, various plecos and gobies are specialized to feed on aufwuchs by scraping hard surfaces for whatever nutrients they can find. These species do eat a lot of low-caloric algae, but it is the small meaty treats that they relish and what really makes them grow and thrive. Soilent Green is a no-expense-spared blend of algae (25% of formula), combined with the highest quality whole aquatic animal ingredients, to provide a perfect balance of plant and aquatic animal proteins. Soilent Green is perfect for more herbivorous fish, shrimps, crabs, and snails.
This fresh and saltwater "scavenger formula" is an omnivore formula specifically designed for aquatic and semi-aquatic invertebrates and mollusk eaters. Shrimp Soufflé is high in calcium, and has double the carotenoid levels of the other Repashy Gel formulas to provide essential nutrients for a strong exoskeleton and great coloration. Omnivorous species of shrimps, crabs, and crayfish, as well as many species of loaches have an extremely high attraction to mollusks, therefore whole squid (a mollusk) is the primary ingredient in this formula to maximize palatability. It has moderate levels of proteins from a combination of algae, aquatic animals, green plants, and yeast to replicate the diverse diet of scavenging species. Shrimp Soufflé is also ideal for omnivorous species, particularly as a color enhancer because of its higher carotenoid levels.

I am closing this and making it a sticky. I will be deleting the other posts, but please feel free to post in the discussion thread :)
Video made by Ted Judy, who I introduced to the product when I was out there speaking this past fall. He is now a vendor as well. This video shows how to make it and different strategies for its use:

Considering that only five quarterbacks have topped the number in the history of the league, 5,000 passing yards isn't a prediction you should throw out there haphazardly.
Considering that three of those five QBs topped the number just last season, maybe 5,000 passing yards shouldn't be looked at as something so rare in today's NFL. The next person to reach that lofty height? Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan , according to Sports Illustrated's Peter King. Here is what King wrote about him in his Monday column:
"Handcuffs are off Matt Ryan. He'll have the ability to throw for some ridiculous numbers (5,000 yards is very realistic) with new coordinator Dirk Koetter sending Julio Jones flying deep."
Fantasy Analysis:
Ryan is a very good quarterback who is stocked with some fantastic receiving options. And yes, the Falcons are employing a more vertical, pass-first offense this season. Predicting that Ryan will go from 4,177 yards -- his 2011 total and a career high -- to more than 5,000 is not a leap I'm ready to commit to yet. But I'll admit that it's certainly possible. Ryan has been one of my favorite players to draft this year, because you can get possible top-5 production in the No. 9 or 10 QB off the board. But as the preseason continues and more articles like King's are published, his draft stock should climb up.

The Kuwait Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor is preparing to take action against runaway domestic laborers. Nearly 1,200 domestic laborers are presently sheltered in embassies, deportation prisons, and domestic labor shelters. Earlier this year, the U.S. State Department issued a report blacklisting Kuwait for trading in human beings.
The Middle East, which the Bush administration claims is a bastion in our fight for democracy, is among the most notorious centers of human abuse in the world. Thousands of immigrant workers have been brought into these countries where they are subject to beatings, rape, and even being killed without much concern on the part of governments. The "runaways" are being punished for escaping brutality rather than having action taken against those inflicting brutal actions against them. There have been many reported cases of suicides, particularly on the part of young women who frequently are beaten or sexually abused by employers. It is quite clear victims will be persecuted while victimizers will be ignored.

Hi Everyone
Now that my costume is coming together, I was curious about how one applies to the 501st.
The instructions for choosing an ID are rather vague, and the forum was private, so I thought I would ask here.
How do you find an ID? Are the IDs labeled "inactive" on the list available? I saw a few that said they were MIA since 2002 and were unnamed and had no affiliation.
Thanks in advance

At a loss and need advice on constant whining/crying....
I don't know where to start...My boyfriend of 2.5 years has a German Shepherd, who is 4 years old. I have never been around this type of dog before and so I find myself at a bit of a learning curve. Due to my boyfriends work schedule, we only get to see each other twice a week. So I don't get to be around the house often, around the dog very often. I have tried reading as many things as I can on these dogs but I can't seem to find anything that fits this dog so I figured I would try to post after reading lots here and see if I can get anyone's experience or suggestions. I am going to apologize now for the length, but I am just lost. First off in the last year, year and a half, the dog has been diagnosed with epilepsy. He is on medication twice daily/every 12 hours. He had about 8 within the first year. Secondly, it is his behavior, which I don't think are related to the seizures, cause he acted like this before. He is so hyperactive! He is taken on daily walks tho. When I get to the house, he has to be held onto, just so I can come in the door. He has so much energy! My boyfriend and I have to sneak in a hug and kiss when the dog isn't looking when I get there or else the dog tries to get between us, jumps on us or just whines. He always whines/cries! I always thought it was jealousy, that the dog didn't like me coming around. But my boyfriend assured me that this was not the case. He will send me little videos of the dog whining/crying even when I am not there. When he walks down the hall to get food, just laying in the living room, walking from room to room he cries. And at other times, he is really quiet, just lays there, on the floor or on the couch, on the other side of my boyfriend. I still think there is a little jealousy going on, when we sit close, the dog, will sometimes "worm" his way into my boyfriends lap or climb on my lap to get to my boyfriend, now he doesn't always do this but at least once or twice during the evening when I am there. Sometimes he will just stand and stare at us and whine/cry and bark, my boyfriend will get mad at him, call the dog over and other times he will just ignore him. Neither way seems to work to get him to stop. If he gets mad or calls the dog over, sometimes he just barks back at him, like he is "talking back". Granted, my boyfriend tells me that the dog does this when I am not there too. I just don't know what to do! I try to take a bone over most days to kinda help distract him. We try that Rescue Remedy for Dogs. That occasionally works but not all the time, I don't want to have to give him that all the time, when the dog should be able to just listen. Sometimes, I just move a seat away on the couch from my boyfriend, so the dog can sit there and there can be quiet. Which I know is not good, cause then the dog "wins" but sometimes I just can't take the whining. I have a black lab, who is as mellow and quiet as can be, so I am not use to this. We have tried a few times for the dogs to meet but the German Shepherd is so anxious when I take my dog over. Mine can't move in the house without his being all over him and in his space, not to mention his always whining. We are constantly having to call their names or go outside. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE dogs and it hurts because this dog gets to me and I feel like my being there is making the situation worse (yes, I have mentioned this to my boyfriend, but we don't know what to do). I have read that these dogs are pack dogs, they like one owner and are hard to accpet strangers but my boyfriend and I have been talking marriage so the dog would have to learn to accept me at some point but I have also read how friendly and family orriented they are, so I just read opposite things all the time. I know I'm all over the place but I just don't know what to do or if there is anything I can do. :help:
From what I read the dog has never been aggressive to you, just jumpimg and happy to see you when you arrive. Have you tried working with him, by getting him to do things and giving him a treat when he obeys? Shepherd's are very vocal, some more than others.
I think that if you could interact with the dog more one on one, you would have a new best friend. He just sounds like he is full of energy and has no way to release it. I hope that you can resolve the problems with him so that you all can be one big happy family, I'm sure others will have some advice for you later. Good luck and let us know how things are going.
Sounds like a high energy dog with nothing to do. He's looking for attention, mental and physical exercise.
I also have a very vocal male, almost 4. That's just the way he is. When I come home from work it's like he hasn't seen me in years. He whines, jumps (not on me, mostly air licks) and runs around like a nut. I do my best not to reward that behavior and try not to acknowledge him until he settles a bit. That approach has not diminished the behavior, though.

He sounds under exercised. Two walks aren't enough. I would try bike rides so he can run, hikes, teach him to wear a back pack. You also didn't mention any training, which he NEEDS for mental stimulation. It will drain his energy even quicker than physical exercise. Talk to you bf about finding a training class. Nose work might be fun for him, or treiball. Something where he can use his mind. Also small training sessions every day. Teach him OB, tricks etc.
I would also look into nothing in life is free for around the house.
I think this can easily be fixed if your bf is willing to do more with him. This isn't your average pet dog.

Quickest way for exercise is throwing balls for the dog to fetch, if he does that.
Next: as you come in the door, throw a handful of treats in the room to keep him busy so you can greet your bf. Keep a calm demeanor towards the dog to prevent too much excitement. Ask him for a sit so can greet the dog briefly.
Dog seems physically and mentally under exercised. You can walk a GSD all day without tiring him out. They need work and strong play.
I agree with everyone who says this dog sounds understimulated. GSDs are very high energy dogs and when they don't have an outlet for it, you get the kind of behaviors you are seeing. One or two walks a day aren't enough unless they are very long--like all day over difficult terrain. And the dog needs mental stimulation on top of that.
A lot of what you describe sounds like just a lack of boundaries. I don't think he sounds jealous of you or like he's having trouble accepting you, he just wants to get in on that snuggling and playing. ;) My GSD will worm himself between my boyfriend and I if we let him too, just because that's like the ideal spot for him--two warm laps and people to pet him! Same with his behavior towards your dog. He just wants to play and see what's going on and be a part of everything. It's really normal behavior, just extreme because he needs more training and more exercise.
Even the constant whining isn't that weird. They tend to be vocal dogs, and again it sounds to me like it is just a sign that he's bored and wants attention. If I take a day off walking my GSD because I'm sick or whatever, he gets really noisy about it too.
A good rule of thumb for high-energy breeds like GSDs is that they need at least two hours a day of exercise--and not just walking, a good chunk of it needs to be high-energy exercise like fetch or running alongside a bike, things like that. On top of that, daily training is necessary to keep them mentally occupied. Even 10-15 minutes of obedience training in the evening after work would be a good start. If that's still not enough, puzzle toys will help give him something to think about besides how bored he is.
I am so sorry that I have not thanked any of you for replying to me. I truly do appreciate everyone's opinions and advice. Honestly, I couldn't agree more with you. The dog should be getting more exercise.. Unfortunately my bf works 10-12 days as well as Saturday, so the poor puppy dog doesn't get exercised like he should. I know this is not an excuse but my bf does what he can. When him and his ex broke up, she took the dog and maybe he just wanted one similar to the one she took, not to mention he does love GSD. My bf does work 3 miles from home(so incredibly jealous) so he does take a break in the middle of the day to get home and let the dog out, he can usually be home for 30-45 mins, I konw, not much but it is something. He makes sure to run around outside with him, throw the ball, etc. We constantly throw a ball and or rope in the house. We play outside, weather permitting right now. I buy him a bone almost once a week, however this has slowed a bit. I bought him one of those Rubber Kongs and he seems to like that, he throws it all around and up in the air and just messes with it. He does need more toys but he destroys everything that he gets. Tennis balls and squeaky toys stand absolutely no chance. The Kong and ropes are just about the only thing to not be torn apart. He has "stolen" a couple balls from the neighbor kids who don't come over to get their balls that were kicked over the fence. Occasionally they get given back but most of the time, the dog gets to the balls first. We were just talking the other day about needing to take some hikes and get the dogs out. Training...that a tough one. It was just my bf and the dog for the first couple years. Not much other dog socialization and not many rules. The dog does sit when my bf snaps his finger and says to sit, and shakes, high fives but that is about it. I want to train more. I actually found this awesome place where you can get training but unfortunately you have to give up your dog for 1 month so that didn't sit well with my bf, which I don't blame him, cause it'd be hard for myself to that. I think once my boyfriend asks me that important marriage question and I move in, training and walks would be easier cause I work normal hour days and with my bf going home in the afternoon, the dogs would only be in the house 4 hrs in the morning and 3-4 in the afternoon. I don't know tho. Once I do move in, much more training will have to be a must.
Thank you everyone for your advice and opinions and letting me know that I am not crazy and that GSD's just happen to be vocal dogs. I noticed this but just didn't realize how much. I will try to find more toys that can withstand not being torn apart and find some puzzle toys that was mentioned and encourage more walks and time outside if we go on hikes and little bit of training every day. Thank you again everyone! :)
You don't need to send your dog out for training for a month! You should be able to find someone who has regular classes you can go to with your dog, and practice at home with him between the classes. :) Really, dogs are very easy to train--you and your boyfriend just need to learn how to train him, which you won't be doing if someone else is teaching him. And in fact for the problems you're having, I'd say it's you and your boyfriend who need training more than the dog does. ;) That's not an insult, btw, it's a common issue.
If you post your general location, people might have recommendations for a good trainer for you. I also like to recommend the book "The Culture Clash" by Jean Donaldson to people in situations like yours. It sounds like you guys just need to make a few easy changes to fix a lot of the problems you're having (although the exercise thing is tougher, you'll really need to work on getting him more to fix things totally it sounds like), and her book outlines how to train dogs in a very positive and simple way. It's a great introductory training book. :)
At a loss and need advice on constant whining/crying....
Oh I know we don't need to send the dog out, it was just a great program that I came across. You can also buy a dog from the program if you wish. I couldn't do that to my dog and I wouldn't expect him to do that either, not at all. I was just telling him all the options I had found. I just wish that program allowed for classes, etc where we could all three go. I've also found trainers that can come to house or we can go to them. I'm gonna sound conceded or something right now but my lab does pretty much everything on command-he has his stubborn moments, he can walk off leash, hang outside in the front yard and I just have to keep my eye on him. He doesn't jump, get crazy, etc. He has a box full of toys to keep him busy and we go on walks. I realize this is a breed thing but I feel that I personally have trained my dog well, honestly, I feel it's more a bf and his dog thing, not myself. I try to discipline/teach him but at times I don't feel it's my place as it is not my dog. I usually do say stuff but sometimes I feel bad doing so. My bf never says anything if I do discipline, he does agree with me. I feel it should be my bf, he's with the dog everyday. I see the dog one evening during the week and Sunday. I try to give tips to my boyfriend and if I'm honest the dog has made progress but still far to go.
I couldn't agree with you more. It is better if we train him and a few easy changes maybe all that we need. But they are changes that need to happen everyday, not just the days that I am there. And I think my bf really is trying but after a couple years of just him and the dog and not many rules, I think it takes times to change course. I will definitely look into the book that you suggested. Thank you 😊

Can't Buy Me Love – But How About Reelection?
posted at 11:45 pm on April 16, 2011 by Dafydd ab Hugh
President Barack H. Obama plans to raise north of one billion dollars for his reelection:
By inaugurating what could be the first $1 billion campaign in history so early, Obama has gotten the jump on a scattered GOP field reluctant to take the plunge and hits the starting line months earlier than George W. Bush did for his 2004 reelection bid.
Note that this is the amount Obama personally plans to raise; it doesn't include the expenditures by the Democratic National Committee, monetary and in-kind contributions by labor unions and "Progressivist" corporations (that would be most of them), and of course moneys raised and spent by "independent" political groups, such as MoveOn.org, George Soros's Open Society Institute, MALDEF, National Council of La Raza, CAIR, Big Media, the Mafia, and so forth.
The early announcement is not surprising; under Obama's personalized version of the Live-In Constitution, the oath of office at the end of Article II, Section 1 reads:
I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully campaign for the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend my continued occupation of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, come regulatory hell or confiscatory taxes.
The current campaign-spending record is $740.6 million, spent in 2008 by some fellow with the amusing, sound-alike name of Barack H. Obama — which itself eclipsed the previous record of $345 million spent by George W. Bush for his successful 2004 reelection by a whopping 115%.
(John McCain also outspent Bush in the same 2008 election, but by a paltry $23 million.)
The odds are good that Obama can do it — raise the money, that is. (I wonder how much of it will come, directly or indirectly, by a commodius vicus of recirculation, from his stimulus scheme?) But that begs the more arresting question: Does such staggering spending truly guarantee reelection for the Obamunist?
In general, the political establishment says yes, it does. The nomenklatura believe that there is a direct, one-to-one correspondence between money spent and votes received. Thus, our spendthrift president merely extends his claim that all government spending is stimulative to the equally vacuous premise that all campaign spending is effective: You may not like ObamaCare the first fifty times you see a commercial extolling it; but the 51st time — or the 74th, or the 293rd time (billion-dollar pockets run deep) — it will seem suddenly brilliant and indisputable.
Hence the meme that the biggest campaign spending spree wins the election, via argumentum ad infinitum. What I tell you five thousand times starts to sound true.
I cannot seem to find a site that lists the campaign expenditures for each major candidate for every presidential election; but I'm sure that it's usually the case that the biggest spender wins. However, I'm equally sure that there have been occasions, even in electing a president, where the biggest spender was the biggest loser.
Here is what's wrong with the reasoning. Most of the time, the guy with the most money is also the guy with the largest number of contributors. But recently, we've begun seeing a disconnect between those two measurements. In particular, with every election, the Democrats become more and more the party of the rich and agitated. Nowadays, the mean average size of Democratic contributions is considerably larger than for Republicans: The pachydermic pretender receives much smaller checks from many more people, while the Donkey king receives humongously larger checks from a much smaller number of contributors.
When average contribution amount per contributor is similar between the parties, then moneys received is a good proxy for electoral support. But when a large gap yawns between the parties, then a candidate can receive less money overall than his opponent, yet still have a significantly larger base of support in a one man, one vote election.
At that point, the big-money low-support candidate must use some of that moolah, not to put too fine a point on it, to butter-up, browbeat, bribe, and even bamboozle voters to support him:
- Vote for Joe because that's what all the smart people like you are doing.
- — because you won't get a moment's peace if Joe loses.
- — because Joe will "bring home the bacon" (and make you pay for it later in taxes; but you'll pay them anyway, and this way you'll get something as well as forking something over).
- — because Joe supports everything you stand for… and everything your mortal enemy stands for, too!
In the present case, for example, President B.O. will spend hundreds of millions of 2012 dollars trying to make voters believe that his reelection he is a spending-cutter, strong on national defense, a great believer in American exceptionalism, a health-care reformer, and above all, a big-time job creator; that he'll "soak the rich" for trillions of dollars of free money, just for you; that if you vote Republican, your grandmother will be forced to live under a rock and eat dog food; and that Obama's reelection is inevitable anyway, because he's the strong horse!
Imagine an ad buy pushing all of the above… a billion dollars worth. Well, you don't need to imagine; just wait a couple of months, and you can watch it unfold in "reel" time.
So why aren't I putting my head through a noose and pulling the trigger? Because something monumental has changed since the election of Bill Clinton: Americans are no longer hogtied to the Magpie Media. "Intellectual dissent" no longer comprises a chronically constipated George Will sniffing in on This Week with David Brinkley. Today, with a myriad of channels through which the average Dick and Jane can harvest the news, from outré television outlets like Fox News Channel and CBN, to conservative news-sites like Newsmax or the Washington Times, to a yearly raft of conservative books, to YouTube, Farcebook, Twitterdom, and direct e-mail. Patterico put it succinctly:
One of the most important points of Andrew Breitbart's new book is that conservatives can use New Media to fight Big Media's narrative — and to reshape it according to the truth.
Obama focuses obsessively on trying to control the new media; he seems unaware that nobody possibly can: Even if the president spammed every e-mail account in the United States, I doubt he would net more than a handful of "road-to-Washington" conversions. Because the new media is to a large extent a distributed, non-local, unregulated, non-heirarchical communications model — one that is rapidly being folded into the Popular Front for Liberty — the very act of trying to dominate it turns consumers off.
If Obama is as ham-fisted with new media as he has been with the old, even his supporters will find themselves unmotivated to motivate to the polls; they will stay home in droves next year.
Presidential candidates need to learn what information and politicking their potential voters truly want from them. And honestly, what most of us really want is a deeper, more adult discussion of policies, as opposed to condescending head-patting and tut-tutting, coupled with extortive threats and sepulchral prophecies of doom. Democrats are real wizards at firing off phosphoric fabulation; but their content, based upon the Think Progress and Hufflepuffington Post model, leaves so much to be desired that often it can't even inspire the choir.
This election, this time, the GOP has the substance, the gravitas, and also the means to slither around the three-headed gate-keeper to get meaningful information into the hands and minds of the voters. And not all the money in the world spent spewing the same old Spam in a can is going to give Lucky Lefty any advantage against any reasonable Republican nominee. (Note I said reasonable; if the GOP nominates Donald Trump, all bets are off.)
Obama may still win; but if so, it will certainly not be because he burned his mountain of cash like a Kwakiutl potlatch.

The Chargers' first-year general manager Tom Telesco has not been shy in hyping up running back Ryan Mathews . He says that despite numerous injuries and three disappointing seasons, Mathews can still be an every-down back. The Chargers' previous regime, led by general manager A.J. Smith, thought the same. That's why they traded up in the first round to take Mathews at No. 12 overall in the 2010 draft. But Chargers beat writer Michael Gehlken of U-T San Diego said Tuesday that Mathews just isn't the type of player Telesco is hoping for.
"I would say Ryan Mathews can't be the player the Chargers envisioned when they drafted him in 2010, and that was the pretty clear sense I was getting at the end of last season before he broke his collarbone for the second time. I think even before then, it was very clear," Gehlken said on FootballGuys.com's "The Audible" podcast.
"He's been in the league for three years now, and you can count the number of third-down receptions that he's had over his career on two hands. This was a guy who the Chargers traded up 15 spots in the first round to get because A.J. Smith believed he was getting a three-down back. And three-down backs have more than six receptions on third down in three years."
Gehlken also mentioned that Mathews still isn't a serviceable blocker, and that there has been miscommunication between Mathews and quarterback Philip Rivers on short pass routes.
Enter former Patriots running back Danny Woodhead , who Gehlken said is going to be a big part of the Chargers' offense this season because "Danny Woodhead is just better in a lot of areas than Ryan Mathews."
Gehlken even added a word for fantasy owners who are interested in drafting Woodhead this season: "If you are in a PPR league, go for it."
Fantasy Analysis:
The Chargers' brass can talk all they want, but Gehlken is correct. Even when healthy, Mathews is a very incomplete player. Letting Woodhead handle the third-down duties will make this running game better. The Chargers first need to get better results out of their dreadful offensive line, but that's another story.
Woodhead will probably catch 40-50 passes in San Diego's short-passing game and handle at least another 70-80 carries. That puts him in bye-week flex territory in standard leagues, but his PPR value is obviously higher.
Mathews has proved so fragile and undependable, fantasy owners are just about fed up with him. Although he will start the year as a clear lead running back, Mathews is barely an RB2 in 12-team leagues, according to the latest ADP reports on MockDraftCentral.com. At this point, you're almost expecting something to break or tear the next time he falls down.

I made this bright, colorful, whimsical Christmas mantel and argyle wreath last year. I was so busy with my new job as an early childhood teacher that I never got around to writing up a post about it. It was such a colorful fun mantel I just had to share it with y'all this year!
It really was so much fun to create. First I painted my wood fence board .
Remember this Fall Mantel?
Well, I painted over the board for my Christmas mantel.
Then I added some glittery ornaments I found at Walmart, a small felt bunting banner, yarn wrapped pom pom Christmas trees, a yarn wrapped argyle Christmas wreath, yarn garland, glittery snowflakes, Christmas tree candles, a wire wrapped Christmas tree and a Santa and Alice picture.
The yarn wrapped pom pom Christmas trees were easy to make and SO CUTE!
The yarn and felt argyle Christmas wreath is my favorite! I love the bright fun colors.
I loved the traditionally colored Argyle Christmas wreath I made the year before and thought to make a bright fun colorful one in non-traditional Christmas colors.
I made felt diamonds, wrapped over in turquoise yarn then added felt rosettes in coordinating colors and a few ice crystallized red berries.
Here are some more shots of my Bright Colorful Whimsical Christmas Mantel.
Isn't it so much fun? Do you decorate in traditional Christmas colors or do you like to venture outta the box and go for something a little different?
The year before I went with a very traditional Christmas mantel.
I love it, I do, but the next year I thought to go with some whimsical bright fun colors and my family and my baby girl loved it!
I would love to know what you think! Traditional or non traditional Christmas decor and colors?

Whattya Listenin' to Wednesday - 1/5/11
Happy New Year to you all! Christ, another year gone and I'm happy to see much of it blow to the wind, honestly. New year, new perspective. Not sure why we all consciously make changes and resolutions at the new year instead of all year long, nor why it seems like a year change is cause for renewed optimism, but hey, whatever. A new vibe to 2011 and we'll see how it all plays out in the immediate months.
After getting drop-kicked by some wicked moonshine to ring in the new year, I'm strategizing everything in my life from top-to-bottom and now that the industry is back from break, things will rev up again at The Metal Minute and everything else I'm affiliated with. Right now, been flying pages on a new thriller-horror short story that I've left the chains off to see how excessive it intends to go. Every time I pull the document up and resume writing, I literally surrender to what comes out, so consider yourselves warned for the final output...
Been obsessing over film soundtracks this week as I've always had a daydream of being a music coordinator for movies. While writing my novel "Saved By Zero," I created my own "soundtrack" as I saw the story unraveling and it kept me to task accordingly. Being floored by Daft Punk's Tron: Legacy soundtrack, I'm literally submerging myself in various film scores and soundtracks while I write this current story and market "Saved By Zero." I daydreamed my entire teenage life about being a rock journalist and it came true, you know...
So expect my playlists to be heavy on the film tip for the upcoming weeks while I get myself limber (as in Rule # whatever in the hilarious Zombieland) for a hopefully productive year. As always, thanks for your patronage here at The Metal Minute. Let's rock this sucka...

Before every Arsenal fixture, we'll bring you a Scouting Report on the Gunners' next opponents.
Arsène Wenger and his side face Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday so, to find out more, tactical expert Michael Cox and local journalist James Pearce gave their pre-match views.
"After a tough physical battle against Stoke, Arsenal travel north for the second consecutive weekend to face a very different challenge on Sunday. Brendan Rodgers' brand of football - short passing, energetic pressing and tricky wing play - is already evident at Liverpool, and although he has taken just one point from his opening two matches, last weekend's draw against Manchester City showed promising signs that Rodgers' strategy is starting to work.
"Liverpool's main problem so far has been at the back, with five goals conceded in two games. Rodgers' insistence on a high defensive line got Daniel Agger into trouble against West Brom, and the passing from the back has resulted in a few misplaced balls - most notably Martin Skrtel's error against City for Carlos Tevez's goal. Eventually such an approach will benefit Liverpool, but in this transition stage it makes sense to press their defence, while pace in behind is the natural approach against a high line, making Lukas Podolski an important weapon. Equally, Arsenal's defenders will need to be alert on the ball - Liverpool's front three press quickly, and the midfield push up too, keeping the side compact.
"A problem area for Liverpool is in the centre of midfield, where Lucas Leiva has been ruled out for a couple of months with a thigh injury. Against City, Joe Allen dropped into an unnatural deep-lying midfield role and performed impressively, though Rodgers would prefer him higher up the pitch. Loan signing Nuri Sahin could also play there. Either way, Liverpool will struggle to replace Lucas' energy and tackling ability, and Santi Cazorla should be able to find pockets of space either side of Liverpool's holding midfielder.
"Liverpool's wide players offer a varied attacking threat. Raheem Sterling performed excellently on his debut against Manchester City, and will look to pick up the ball in space before running directly towards goal - Carl Jenkinson will have to stay on his feet and be disciplined. On the other side, Fabio Borini is more about off-the-ball runs. As Suarez drifts deep and wide, Borini will pop up unmarked in goalscoring positions, so communication will have to be good at the back."
"The performance against Manchester City last Sunday gave everyone a massive lift. Obviously it was disastrous start to the season against West Brom, it was one of those days when everything that could have gone wrong, did go wrong. But the City performance was a big improvement and the only negative was that they didn't win the game, because they certainly deserved to.
"They are likely to adopt a 4-3-3 formation against Arsenal, that is Brendan Rodgers' preference. Of the three in midfield, two will sit deeper - likely to be Joe Allen and Nuri Sahin - with Steven Gerrard more advanced. Rodgers has stressed that if they want to achieve anything this season they have to control games at home because their form at Anfield last year was awful. He wants them to play an attacking game, put the opponents under pressure high up the field and when they have the ball to adopt a short, sharp passing game. He wants Liverpool to take the game to opponents, and they will look to do that on Sunday.
"Lucas Leiva would have played against Arsenal, but he has injured his thigh and will be out for a few months. It is a massive blow because Liverpool really missed him last season. He was out from November right through to this pre-season and it was a big bonus having him back, he was ahead of schedule and doing really well. It was such a freak injury - he did it having a shot in the warm up against City, then within two or three minutes of the game starting it became apparent it was serious. One thing you have to say is that Liverpool are better prepared for his loss, as they now have Allen and Sahin and with Gerrard fit as well.
"Apart from Lucas missing, Joe Cole is out injured with a hamstring problem but Daniel Agger returns after suspension. In terms of a prediction for the game, I will go for a 2-1 win for Liverpool."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Rebecca MacKinnon:
Let's take back the Internet!
In this powerful talk from TEDGlobal, Rebecca MacKinnon describes the expanding struggle for freedom and control in cyberspace, and asks: How do we design the next phase of the Internet with accountability and freedom at its core, rather than control? She believes the internet is headed for a "Magna Carta" moment when citizens around the world demand that their governments protect free speech and their right to connection.

My name is David and I reside In Thailand. Thailand changes it's rules and regulations in all aspects of Government frequently, I have no problem with this, they do this to help the people of Thailand.
Requirements for teaching English and obtaining a Teachers License, and a Work Permit is no exception, whilst I can understand most parts of the regulations there are two areas that are unclear to this scribe.
I have been in contact with officialdom but I have not yet been able to get clear cut answers, this is I believe due to my limited knowledge of the Thai language .
There are two Questions that I have and I most certainly would appreciate advise.
1. Is an online TOFL certificate valid in Thailand for the purposes of obtaining a work permit?
2. Is it a requirement to also have a degree for the same purposes?
I know many Teachers who have obtained their work permit without a degree but this seems to be at the discretion of the interviewing officer.
Ladies And Gentleman I await your comments Thank You.

Talib Kweli
Born in Brooklyn as the eldest of two sons of college professors, Kweli's first name, Talib, is an Arabic name meaning "the seeker or student," while his last name is a Ghanaian name meaning "of truth or knowledge." He began developing his literary gift in elementary school, where he'd write short stories, poems, and that sort of stuff. It wasn't until years later in high school that he turned to hip-hop as an outlet for his self-expression. In high school, he met a young Dante Smith, better known today as Mos Def. This fateful meeting further drew Kweli toward hip-hop, and another fateful meeting further convinced him that he had a bright future as an MC. During a 1994 trip to Cincinnati he met Tony Cottrell, aka DJ Hi-Tek, who at the time was part of a local rap group called Mood. Kweli impressed Hi-Tek during their time together, and the DJ invited the MC to guest on several tracks for Mood's 1997 album Doom. Shortly afterward, Kweli and Hi-Tek formed a partnership as Reflection Eternal and recorded "Fortified Live," which a then-fledging Rawkus label released on its first Soundbombing compilation.
A year later in 1998, the two invited Mos Def into the mix, and the Black Star album resulted. And with it came a steady downpour of critical acclaim that turned these guys into media darlings overnight. They might not have sold millions of albums, but Kweli, Hi-Tek, and Mos Def most certainly impressed a great many people, among them critics, fellow rap artists, and a lot of folks who enjoyed a good old-fashioned hip-hop album with an emphasis on beats, rhymes, and life -- not dramatized gunplay or interpolations of proven pop songs. That was the end of Black Star, however. In 1999 Mos Def released his debut solo album, Black on Both Sides, and turned away from music and toward an acting career, leaving Kweli and Hi-Tek on their own. The duo returned to their Reflection Eternal partnership and released an album of the same name in 2000. It spawned a pair of minor hits: "Move Somethin'" and "The Blast."
When Kweli returned with his Quality album in 2002, things had changed a bit. For one, he was truly solo. Mos Def was long gone, and Hi-Tek was off focusing on his own solo career as a for-hire producer. So Quality featured Kweli collaborating with a host of different artists, among them a young and promising yet still largely unknown producer named Kanye West. "Get By" was the fruit of Kweli's collaboration with West, and it became the rapper's biggest hit to date, aided quite a bit by a non-album remix featuring Jay-Z of all people. The remix got a lot of radio play, but still, Quality didn't put up Jay-Z numbers and Kweli remained a critical favorite, a reputation cemented all the more in late 2003 when Jigga gave him the aforementioned high-profile shoutout in "Moment of Clarity."
All of this set the stage very well for The Beautiful Struggle, which dropped in fall 2004. The expectations for the album were gargantuan because of the Jay-Z rhyme, and also because a great many hip-hop disciples felt Kweli was long overdue for a commercial breakthrough. The album was undoubtedly his most commercial effort to date, featuring a few token radio-ready hook singers like Mary J. Blige and Anthony Hamilton, not to mention a roster of hitmaking producers like the Neptunes, Just Blaze, and Kanye. It was also Kweli's most self-conscious to date, however, as it was well apparent that the commercial pressures had begun to affect his mindset. He responded by splitting from his distributor, Universal, and lying low for a while, releasing a stopgap mixtape, Right About Now (2005), via Koch.
In anticipation of his next solo album, Kweli collaborated with producer Madlib on the digital-only Liberation, which was made available as a free download during the first week of 2007 on the Stones Throw website. Finally, in August of that same year, Kweli issued the full-length album Eardrum on his own label, Blacksmith, via a partnership with Warner Bros. Debuting at number two on the Billboard 200 and selling about 60,000 copies in its first week, Eardrum was Kweli's best-selling album to date and featured beats from not only Madlib but also Hi-Tek, Kanye, Pete Rock, and will.i.am, among others, and featured guests like Norah Jones, UGK, Justin Timberlake, and Strong Arm Steady. In 2010, the album Reflection Eternal: Revolutions Per Minute reunited Talib and Hi-Tek under their Reflection Eternal moniker, then that same year, the solo Gutter Rainbows was the first album to be released by Talib's Talibra imprint. His 2013 release Prisoner of Conscious balanced radio-friendly numbers with more abstract tracks and featured Nelly, Curren$y, and Kendrick Lamar. The 2014 effort Gravitas followed the same path, this time with Big K.R.I.T., Mike Posner, and writer Neil Gaiman among its guests. A year later he returned with Indie 500, a collaborative album with underground producer 9th Wonder. Another collaborative effort -- The Seven with Styles P -- was issued in 2017. ~ Jason Birchmeier

You and GBH are the man , Thanks a lot!!!!!!!!!
100.00 bucks sounds like a pretty good deal considering all the time and effort it seems you guys are putting into this. Thanks for being such stand up gentlemen.
throw me up on that list to if ya got the room for another FP ,thanks
Sign me up
Wow We might have to do this in two runs
A little update :
I made some progress on the molds for this, but had to set it aside to finish up March's activities list. Everything will be tied up on that no later than Friday. I should be able to complete the mold this weekend. We're getting close !
Hi Everyone -
Just a small update:
Looks like I should be able to pull the first casting very soon ( a day or two) an get some pics posted. Then I should have a definitive price set. I do want to note though, that because of the expense of the special materials involved and the nature of the process for this piece that I will be requiring pre-payments. Last month I was left with a ton of other materials that won't keep forever if not put to use because of lack of payments made. It's probably a sign of the times, but I have to be careful too. I hope you all understand.
Once the mold is complete and the "green light" is given, this is going to go fast. I've put some other projects on hold to get this one squared away for you folks in short order so I can move on to those other projects. It looks like we're still well within the projected timeline on this
More to come
awesome brother! just tell me when to pay, man!!
FP, can I get a close up shot of those buckles on the straps? When you get a chance of course.
99CentTaco- Sorry for the late response on that. Actually, that is the one strap that didn't come with the donor holster. It's a good thing that one isn't used
The mold is complete. The following are pictures of a test casting to ascertain the amount of material that will be needed for production. It shows up nicer in pictures anyway (you can see the master next to it if you look real hard )
A few notes first :
1. The holster will be shipped with all necessary movie modifications. This includes the side arm trigger well mod that has recently been discovered by new photo reference that has come available To my knowledge, this will be a first on this prop.
2. "Sheathless" is a relative term. The FP / GBH holster is sheathless, however, because of the aforementioned photo reference it is now clear that a small ridge of the original pocket still exists on the holster. It is unclear exactly how much. This was most likely done to keep from cutting off the end of the logo. It is still unclear though if there is any of the logo that is actually cut off. So I played it safe, and left exactly enough to allow the logo to be intact just in case. If we find later that there is a portion of the logo that is in fact removed, the ridge can be trimmed a little more. Better to leave too much, than too little.
2. There were 2 different Pulce/Nemrod holsters made back in the day. The original production holster was made as we are used to seeing in the pics in the first post (with the pistol grip strap molded into the holster). But because of the poor choice of abs used in production, this strap had a tendency to break off. A second gen holster was produced later that corrected this. It included approximately 1.5 inches of the original strap base still molded into the holster, but the rest of the strap was replaced with a ribbed rubber strap (like the rest of the straps in the pics above) attached to the 1.5 inch "base" with two snap/rivets.
The FP / GBH holster is obviously first gen, which has the strap molded in. Because composites have improved in the last 30 years, I don't foresee that it will be an issue. However, as a contingency in the event that this strap does in fact break, I will be including the extra ribbed rubber strap. If it does unfortunately break later, all that will need to be done is trim the original strap off (leaving 1.5 inches), and attach the new strap with rivets using the two guide holes that are impressed into the back of the holster. I will have a template available for this as well.
Here are the test casting pics. They're not high quality because i used my cell. The casting is a little dirty. The first casting out of a mold is usually a little messy looking. For me anyway. I also use the first casting to clean the inside of the mold
Now that the mold is finished, and the first casting has been pulled I've calculated costs. Each holster will be $135 *SHIPPED* in the U.S. Again, that *IS* shipped. I am unsure as of yet about over seas. The holster and box SHOULD be under 4 lbs, but I need to box one up to be sure. If it goes over 4 lbs, it will need to go "Priority International" which is considerably more. So lets keep our fingers crossed on that
To get this ball rolling, this will be "Pre-pay" project. Because of the materials involved, I have to require a pre payment commitment. I apologize.
Orders can be pre-paid at any time from this point forth as I am already starting production to get this under control with so many interests involved.
If needed, I will start another thread to be official. For now GBH will edit the thread title to reflect pre-payment requirements/acceptance
Payments can be made to :
Thank you everyone for your patience so far with this. It was a bear of a mold to make between everything else. It is my hope that this mold will survive 50 + members, because I'm not in love with making another one. So this may be a limited engagement More pics soon of the straps and snap progress ...

a few quick questions on painting these...should a flat black paint be used to paint these bad boys up? will the material take basic spray paint, and should a coat of primer be used before putting the black paint on? thanks guys! :thumbup

Remaining at Barcelona may seem like an easy choice for young players - but not Hector Bellerin.
The young right back, together with team-mate Jon Toral, arrived at London Colney last summer despite offers to remain in Catalonia. It was a path well travelled by those before them, with the likes of Cesc Fabregas and Fran Merida having opted for life in north London early in their careers.
"It is obvious that Barcelona is a big and famous club, but Arsenal is too," said the 17-year-old. "Everyone has to make their own choice for their future and I believe that my prospects of development as a player would be better at Arsenal. To stay at Barcelona was an option, but they do not give the opportunities to young players like those available here."
The early signs suggest it is a decision which may well pay off for Bellerin. His marauding displays at right back have caught the eye, leading to a call-up to the reserves towards the end of the campaign where he once again impressed.
As a first-year scholar it has been a swift rise for the Spain youth international, who now looks set to play a key role in next season's keenly-anticipated NextGen Series.
"The fact I was a winger for 12 years has helped me understand what my opponents are thinking and how they want to play so I am able to use that when I defend to stop them. The fact that I have had encouragement on the defensive side of my game gives me confidence because I never played in that position before I joined Arsenal and I am learning all the time."
Hector announced his arrival on to the reserves scene with a goal in the 2-0 win at Chelsea in March. The young Spaniard showed lightning pace to storm past his man up the right flank before seeing his poked shot saved. But the rebound fell to him, which he headed over the line from a tight angle.

A Lafayette woman who police say deliberately posted a nude photo of her teenage daughter on the girl's Facebook page faces charges of child exploitation and child pornography possession.
The felony charges filed Wednesday in a Tippecanoe County court allege Lynda Rusk, 50, posted the photo in November 2011. Detective Mark Pinkard tells the Journal & Courier that investigators spent a year collecting evidence, including issuing subpoenas to Facebook and the teen's cellphone provider.
A probable cause affidavit says the girl took the photo of herself but that her mother had possession of the phone when the picture was uploaded to Facebook.
The child exploitation charge carries a potential sentence of six to 20 years in prison.
Efforts to reach the woman were not successful.
