The effects of stroke are farreaching. According to the American Stroke Association, stroke afflicts 700,000 Americans annually, making it the third-leading cause of death in the U.S. Each year, 40,000 more women than men suffer a stroke, and African-Americans have almost twice the risk of first-ever stroke.
Stroke is the sudden loss of brain function caused by a blockage or rupture of a blood vessel to the brain, or in it, characterized by symptoms that vary with the extent, location and severity of the damage to the brain. Time is critical when signs of a stroke emerge. With only a three-hour timeframe to administer intravenous drug therapy (tPA) in an effort to dissolve the clot and prevent debilitating disability, the clock ticks for stroke victims.
Treating more than 500 stroke patients annually, Winthrop's Stroke Center has a multidisciplinary team of specialists ready at a moment's notice.
Winthrop's highly sophisticated Neurosciences Intensive Care Unit includes 13 acute care beds and six step-down beds. With the advanced technology to monitor blood flow, oxygen, intracranial pressure and brain temperature on a real-time basis, the Center's specialized approach allows for quick and accurate decisions about a patient's neurological state to secure the best possible outcome.
"It is critical that the moment stroke symptoms occur, action is taken because time lost is brain lost," said Elzbieta Wirkowski, MD, Director of Cerebrovascular Disorders. "The first step is to call 911 and then get to a hospital designated a Stroke Center, such as Winthrop, that is fullyequipped to respond and provide rapid treatment to patients experiencing an acute stroke." Winthrop also is one of the first Long Island hospitals to begin using the Merci® Retriever for emergency cases in which the window of opportunity for drug therapy intervention has closed.
On the fast track to recovery, hospitalized patients are comforted by the support provided by Winthrop's Stroke Peer Visitors Program�the first such program sponsored by the American Stroke Association on Long Island.
"The Winthrop team is honored to receive Stroke Center designation," explained Garry J. Schwall, Vice President, Administration. "It is yet another step in our efforts to save not only stroke patients' lives, but their quality of life." Winthrop's Stroke Center's compassionate, quality continuum of care keeps it world-class. For more about the Center, call 1-866-WINTHROP.

What a weekend it was for Justin Timberlake and his girlfriend Jessica Biel. While the couple spent much of the weekend apart, Justin at the Grammy's and Jessica Biel hosting the Sci-Tech Oscars, the love birds met in the middle for some canoodling, booze and some PDA time.
Even though Jessica reminds me of a cocky beotch, I can appreciate the fact that she is trying damn hard to get J-Tizzle to put a ring on it. With a beer in one hand and her man in the other, Jessica plants a big fat lip lock on her man's face at Teddy's bar in Hollywood…their after Grammys party location of lovin'.
Well, aren't they just a couple of fish-lipped honeys? Awwwww. Gag me.

I hope you will join us. And by the way, I am always looking for guest and panelist suggestions so if you have one – don't hesitate to mention it in comments here.
In addition – we also have a webinar titled Leveraging Cloud Services, coming up with Rick Nucci – CTO & Co-Founder of Boomi, Rick Chapman, CEO of Softletter & SaaS University, and our own Luis Aburto, CEO of Scio Consulting. We will be covering the broader aspects of "integration" and why using cloud services rather than trying to build connections to both outside functionality is a key consideration for SaaS vendors. I can tell you personally as I've worked in the field of enterprise integration – it isn't a simple issue. Keeping track of all of the shifting pieces can be quite a challenge for a company with a line of business focus. If being part of the broader SaaS ecosystem is on your radar, I hope you will take advantage of this opportunity. Please take a few minutes and sign up for this important webinar:
Leveraging Cloud Services – Thursday, August 20, 2009 – 1pm-2pm CDT. Registration is free and open to all.
AND – Our survey of product managers is closing soon. Are you a software product manager? Would you take a few minutes to join our survey? Check the details on our blog.

A Subway "sandwich artist" admitted today to putting his penis on the store's sandwich bread and posting the photo on Instagram.
The bombshell comes after HuffPost Weird News received several photos posted by two men in Columbus, Ohio, who work for the restaurant chain. Their Twitter and Instagram pages are festooned with photos of their exploits (see below). In several photos, Subway's signature bread is shaped into penises.
One of the men, Cameron Boggs, admitted on Instagram that "today at work I froze my pee" in a water bottle.
Boggs posted -- and later deleted -- the most incriminating photo, which depicts a man rubbing his genitalia on foot-long bread. It was posted on Instagram by username "weedpriest" with a caption that reads, "My name is @ianjett and I will be your sandwich artist today."
In an exclusive interview with HuffPost Weird News, Ian Jett copped to defiling the footlong, but denied doing the dirty deed at work.
"I would never do that at work -- it was at home," he said. "This isn't something I'd ever do at Subway. It was totally a joke."
Store employees confirmed that Boggs and Jett currently work at the Subway location at Tuttle Crossing Boulevard in Columbus.
Boggs and Jett were fired on Monday, and a representative from Subway public relations released this statement:
This isolated incident is not representative of SUBWAY Sandwich Artist. These actions are not tolerated and the franchisee took immediate action to terminate the two employees involved.

Two designers imagine an entire room's color motif based on season blooms.
Many items can be a jumping-off point for a room's wall-color selections. A beautiful bedspread. A treasured painting. A postcard from a far-flung destination. An antique armoire. A twisted piece of driftwood. A vase of flowers.
With the holiday season in full swing, two Midwest-based interior designers muse about Christmas blooms and plants, and how Mother Nature's incredible hues, shapes and textures can lend inspiration for wall colors and interior spaces.
White as snow: the lily
Minnesota-based designer Mary Rossi recently imagined a contemporary design for a master bedroom based on the ever-pure-and-simple white lily.
"The ornamental or white tiger lily can be a great stand-in for the traditional poinsettia for Christmas," says Rossi. "It's clean and contemporary and has a sweet, fresh fragrance."
The white lily, which symbolizes purity and majesty, also plays a special role in Rossi's career, as the bloom is inspiration for one of several bowl designs (many in a "snow" hue) from Minneapolis-based Julia Knight , one of Rossi's clients. Knight designs high-end tabletop entertaining pieces that are available at Bloomingdales and Saks Fifth Avenue. Rossi helps Knight with display merchandising and is also the interior designer for Knight's home.
"I want to use the organic elements of a white lily to create a glamorous master bedroom," says Rossi.
For starters, the room's wall colors — 18-inch-wide horizontal stripes in Creamy (SW 7012) and Dorian Gray (SW 7017) in a satin finish — would be reminiscent of wintry gray skies and shimmery snow, not unlike the colors and luster of a snow-hued bowl from the Julia Knight collection.
"Horizontal stripes can make a room seem bigger," says Rossi, "and create a wow for the space, especially when's it's tone-on-tone and the colors are close to one another. Plus, you don't have to put a lot of artwork on the walls — the walls are the art."
Rossi envisions the room would have tall ceilings and crown molding. "I would want higher baseboards than standard height, and all woodwork will be painted in Pure White (SW 7005) gloss enamel," says Rossi.
"The ceiling, in Repose Gray (SW 7015) flat, would be a lighter gray to give the room another visual accent."
For the curtain panels, Rossi would choose a fabric that's a combination of light and dark shimmery grays, with a pattern that evokes swirling winds.
With most of the room pushed in a neutral direction, Rossi would add punches of red as her accent color, like a white lily's richly hued stamens. "Show Stopper (SW 7588) would be my inspiration for the red in pillows, throws and other accessories," says Rossi.
Rossi's upholstered headboard would be made of "beautiful, crushed velvet in a polished nickel tone." Bed linens would be layered and luxe with tone-on-tone neutrals. "I'd take the Show Stopper paint swatch to select a sumptuous red cashmere throw for the end of the bed."
Centered in the room would hang a white Appalachian Twig Chandelier evocative of snow-covered branches. "It would add that organic element; I love to mix glamor with organic," says Rossi.
On the wide-planked, espresso-brown wood floor (the dark color grounding the space), Rossi would place a white Flokati rug of 100 percent New Zealand wool. "It would be very fluffy, like freshly fallen snow," says Rossi.
Nearby, two creamy white leather wingback club chairs with floor lamps on either side would invite reading and relaxation. A requisite throw — silver fox faux fur from inmod.com — would drape a chair. But what are club chairs without an inviting pillow? They'd be adorned with some of Rossi's custom-made pillows featuring red grosgrain ribbon.
A table would hold a contemporary crystal vase with white lilies, along with some red berried branches. "Punches of red are so holiday and so elegant," Rossi says.
Rossi would also work a fireplace into the vignette. "It would be traditional and embellished with columns and layers of crown molding and painted Bright White (SW 7007)." A stack of white birch logs would sit nearby.
A Plexi-craft King George-style vanity with icicle-like Lucite legs would pair with a Plexi-craft King George bench at the end of the bed. "The bench would have tufted fabric the same nickel color as the headboard," Rossi says. Above the vanity would hang a silver sunburst mirror that "makes a huge statement."
Rossi's bedside tables would feature silver leaf and Lucite spindle legs. Robert Abbey Odelia clear glass and black shade table lamps do the trick for bedside lighting. A Julia Knight "Lily" bowl in that oh-so-snowy hue enhances this wintry paradise, filled with yuletide ornaments — in Show Stopperesque red, of course.
A holiday tradition: the poinsettia
The classic Christmas plant: the poinsettia or noche buena, which means "Christmas Eve." Michigan-based interior designer Mary Olk looks at poinsettias the way a watercolor artist blends paint on paper. Colors flow and swirl, creating areas of light and shadow. White poinsettias feature swirls of green and cream, while candy-red poinsettias pop with unexpected flecks of pink and yellow.
Olk's poinsettia-inspired living room would be awash in Loveable (SW 6590) with a Whitetail (SW 7103) ceiling and trim. The room would feature a puffy, transitional sofa in a color similar to Venus Pink (SW 6560), flanked by lamps with bases the color of poinsettia leaves, similar to Garden Grove (SW 6445). White linen shades with a green-silk cotton lining and trim accent would evoke the poinsettia's stem.
Sofa pillows would be encased in C.R. Laine's Bulter Spring 1378 fabric — a floral pattern rich in pinks, greens and salmons. "C.R. Laine products are practical and really well-made," says Olk. The room's drapes would be in a textured cream with diamond patterns.
Club chairs would echo the style and color of the sofa, while glass tables with metal legs and a plush white carpet would keep the room airy.
"I want that poinsettia feel all year round," says Olk. She believes there's a reason Mother Nature threw pinks, reds, greens and creams together. "These colors look great together and, of course, green and red are natural complements."
The room's pièce de résistance during the holiday season would be a collection of large, dark pink poinsettias arranged in varying heights. "I would place them on ceramic ottomans," says Olk. "When someone walks into this room, they'll think, 'Now this is something new and different and fun.'"

Big Iron: The new SchollanderThis year's attendees can enjoy one of the biggest single capital projects to come to the event in the show's history — a revamped front-end of Schollander Pavilion.
By: Mikkel Pates, Agweek
WEST FARGO, N.D. — The 32nd annual Big Iron Farm Show will bring flocks of farmers to the region's largest agricultural equipment and business exposition Sept. 11 to 13. This year's attendees can enjoy one of the biggest single capital projects to come to the event in the show's history — a revamped front-end of Schollander Pavilion.
Bryan Schulz, general manager of both Big Iron and the Red River Valley Fair Association, which hosts the annual event at the Red River Valley Fairgrounds, says the pavilion, built some 44 years ago, will have a $1.8 million front end, and a revamped purpose for one of its most identifiable landmarks.
The new facility has a motif reminiscent of state fair structure classics, with a "castle" suggestion, including turrets and flags at the top to draw attention. The colors are earth tones and suggest brick work structures.
The entire addition is about 22,000 square feet, 11,000 square feet on each of two floors. The burnished-block look is complemented with floors that in many places have an upscale epoxy finish.
The main entrance is downstairs in the pavilion, along with a set of ample, modern bathrooms, updated and right-sized facilities for both women and men, as well as conference rooms, which will host a couple of seminars every day during Big Iron.
The new Schollander brings the fair/Big Iron offices into new, modern facilities on the south side of the second floor, in a 3,000-square-foot space. The facility includes seven office spaces, as well as a range of conference rooms and workspaces.
The second floor on the north side also will be home to the North Dakota Trade Office's annual Big Iron hosting of up to 150 foreign agribusiness dignitaries. That 3,000-square-foot space will include a kitchenette, bathrooms, full wireless internet access and meeting spaces.
"We're trying to showcase what North Dakota can do, as far as providing them with ag products," Schulz says. The new facility will better host the foreign attendees than did the steel building the international event previously occupied. "It'll be something that can showcase what we really have in North Dakota."
The NDTO will lease the facility for 10 years and will be responsible for renovations. The agency, whose main offices are in downtown Fargo, N.D., also will use the building for monthly meetings.
"We need to look at the future, and we needed expanded space for staffing and for possible conventions," says Schulz, who has managed the organization since 2008. The fair board's recent sale of a soccer complex to the city of West Fargo helped finance the structure. Among other things, the addition makes Schollander fully handicap-accessible.
The facility had a budget of $1.64 million, but also received a $200,000 grant from the North Dakota Department of Commerce's infrastructure grant program. Some of the cost involved burying electrical lines and rerouting water lines. It's a large investment for an organization that typically spends about $250,000 a year in capital projects.
Proud history
"Schollander" is synonymous with the modern Red River Valley Fair and is a key facility for its Big Iron show.
Initially, Schollander was an indoor arena for the grounds, but also a multi-purpose facility. In the 1970s and 1980s, it was also West Fargo's hockey arena. Many of the cattle shows at the Red River Valley Fair were held there. The pavilion is about 45,000 square feet, sitting in front of an annex and a 28,800-square-foot horse arena.
In recent years, the south section of the bleachers was removed to open the facility up for Big Iron, allowing bigger combines into the structure. John Deere occupies the space during Big Iron, and has used the indoor venue to its utmost, with high-tech electronic demonstrations and presentations. "John Deere has really grown in there," Schulz says.
The new addition will offer access to the existing pavilion, plus a roll gate that allows the new part to be more securely shut during times when it is being used for large animal events. The addition allows for ample exit strategies from the facility, which will help Big Iron attendees enjoy a safe show.

As with most other types of cancer, the causes of leukemia are not well-understood. Most leukemias in domestic dogs are thought to develop spontaneously after the dog is born. Exposure to radiation, infection by viruses and exposure to certain toxic chemical substances have all been suggested by various experts as being possible causes of or contributors to canine leukemia. However, there currently are no reliable, repeatable scientific studies that establish the contribution of these or other substances or organisms to the development of this disease.
Whatever their particular cell type or origin, leukemia cells multiply in the bone marrow and ultimately end up in circulating blood. They rapidly become space-occupying and crowd out normal bone marrow cells that otherwise would develop into healthy, mature red blood cells (erythrocytes) and white blood cells (leukocytes). This abnormal alteration of the microenvironment within the bone marrow causes a cascade of consequences, including low numbers of healthy circulating red and white blood cells. Because healthy white blood cells are essential to a normal immune response, dogs with leukemia have impaired immune systems, which in turn cause the weakness, infection and other general signs associated with the disease. Cancerous leukemia cells tend to accumulate and multiply in the spleen and liver, and to a lesser degree in the kidneys, lymph nodes, central nervous system and gastrointestinal tract. This eventually disrupts the normal function of those organs and tissues, worsening the dog's symptoms.
Because the causes of canine leukemia are not known, there really is no realistic way to prevent the onset of this type of cancer in dogs.
Both the acute and chronic forms of leukemia are uncommon in companion dogs. However, they do occasionally occur. Acute leukemia has a much worse prognosis than chronic leukemia, with death to be expected within a matter of weeks after diagnosis in most cases.

< More drivel | Main | All editorials point to Hennepin County >
February 9, 2006
Ways and Means Committee
UPDATE 2/28/06: I've been informed that Vandeveer and Walker will now vote Yes on the Hennepin County plan. Add that to Dan Larson's yes vote and that brings the total to 22 for and 16 against. Yep, that would do it!
Ouch. Once the stadium bill gets past the Taxes committee (ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!! that is a good one!) it would have to be passed by the Ways and Means Committee. From what I can tell, this will be another huge battle. It is also where the Pawlenty/Sviggum stadium bill was killed two years ago. Here is the breakdown:
19-19 and one unknown. Actually, a couple of unknowns. Again, this is all an educated guess on my part. And I'd like to know how and why after we get done with Krinkie, Abrams, and Knoblach in the Taxes committee we have to see these turkeys again in the Ways and Means Committee! That bums me out.
I'd also be surprised if the stadium bill got out of either committee without a referendum attached. I'm not sure that is a bad thing either. We need to get this bill to the floor of the House. Once it is there I think there would be enough votes to strip off a referendum. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see this bill fly through without any referendum attached, but every single committe will try to attach one, and then there will be multiple attempts on the floor. It will be fun (?) to watch.
If anyone has any insight on this committee please let me know. Secondly, Charley Walters reported yesterday:
Gov. Tim Pawlenty, some legislative leaders, and Hennepin County and Twins officials are expected to meet again next week to continue dialogue about a new ballpark in downtown Minneapolis.
And the beat goes on. Another year, another round of talks. Let's see if anything happens this time.

It may already be too late, Shane.
This tidbit from the City Pages Blotter...
"Predicting growth is a losing vocation, but developers apparently have no fear: There are 50 [condominium] projects in the pipeline currently, and the latest is calling for some 3,500 to 5,000 units. That project is on the Rapid Park lot, the chosen site for a proposed Twins stadium.
"The fact that the developers are going ahead makes it seem that perhaps at least one area resident--the Minnesota Twins--won't be moving into new downtown digs."
...makes me think that the site owners aren't willing to sit around and be teased about whether or not their land will ever be used for a ballpark.
And, of course, if the presumptive site tied to the Hennepin County deal is not going to be available for use, a good number of those marginal 'yes' votes will likely flip back to 'no', simply because it makes no sense to approve a project where the principles don't have all their ducks in a row.
Sorry, man.

How to Repair Damaged Hair
Three Methods:Rescuing Damaged HairStarting to Use Healthy ProductsPracticing Long-Term Maintenance
Is your hair dry and dull, or do you have split ends and frizz? Hair can be damaged quite easily, but it takes a little longer to repair it. The good news is that you can start using the techniques and forming new habits that will make your hair look better right away as you restore its health over time. Learn how to immediately rescue damaged hair, use products that will improve your hair's health, and practice habits that will keep your hair healthy in the long term.
Method 1 of 3: Rescuing Damaged Hair
1Get a trim. Be careful about this. Hair stylists are the cause of most hair damage. You must use hair scissors that are right for YOUR hair. If your hair has a straw-like texture with split ends, the first thing you can do to restore its health is going to the salon and get a trim. Cutting your hair will immediately make it look fresher and restore its body.
- To check your stylist is using very sharp scissors, get them to cut into a wet tissue. Inspect the cut and if you can see torn tissue fibers...find another stylist.
- Cut off as much as you dare. Hair tends to be more damaged toward the tips, since that part of the hair has had more time to be affected by heat, chlorine, and other sources of hair damage.
- Ask the stylist not to blow dry your hair or use any styling products. These will further damage your unhealthy hair.
2Stop using heat. Now that your hair is freshly cut, plan to treat it very gently until its health is restored.You may only use heat unless you have heat protective spray.That means no heat in the form of blow dryers, curling irons, or straightening irons.
- Air drying your hair is a much less damaging method than using a blow dryer. Let your hair exist in its most natural state when you're repairing it.
- If you must straighten or curl your hair, use a gentler method, like rollers or hair wrapping, to achieve the look you want.
3Stop dying or otherwise processing your hair. The process of bleaching the color from your hair and then adding chemicals to dye it another color is extremely damaging. Bleaching or dying hair that's already in bad shape can actually lead to hair breakage, hair loss and bald patches.
- Chemical processes like permanent curling or straightening are also damaging and should be avoided.
- Even deep conditioning treatments meant to restore your hair's moisture may contain chemicals that aren't good for your hair. It's better to control exactly what goes on your head, so stay out of salons offering expensive treatments.
Method 2 of 3: Starting to Use Healthy Products
1Use sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner. Shampoo and conditioner made with natural oils and herbs will help repair your hair. Shop in a health food store for natural products made with ingredients that restore moisture to dry, damaged hair.
- Avoid shampoos and conditioner made with sodium laurel or laureth sulfates. These are industrial cleaning agents added to many soaps and shampoos; they clean your hair, but they also strip it of its natural protective oils in the process.
- When you first begin using natural shampoo and conditioner, your hair may look a little oily. That's because your body has grown used to overproducing the oils necessary to maintain healthy hair. Ride it out, and after a few weeks your body will be used to producing the right amount of oil again.
2Use natural styling products. Most hair sprays, gels, mousses and other styling products available at drugstores contain chemicals that damage your hair in the long term. Avoid these and instead shop at health food stores for styling products made with ingredients that are good for your hair.
- You can make your own hairspray using citrus fruits as a great natural alternative to chemical-based sprays.
- You can make your own hair gel using a simple mixture of water and gelatin.
3Treat your hair with oil. You can use olive oil or egg oil. and other natural oils to add moisture back to your hair. Simply massage the oil into your hair, let it sit for about fifteen minutes, then rinse it out with lukewarm water.Ad
Method 3 of 3: Practicing Long-Term Maintenance
1Don't wash your hair too often. Washing your hair every day makes it dry out, since it doesn't give your scalp the chance to produce the oils your hair needs to stay healthy. Try washing it two or three times a week instead.
- Style your hair in an updo or with a hat on the last day before you wash it.
- Use dry shampoo or a little baking soda around your roots and bangs to absorb your hair's oil.
2Wash your hair with lukewarm or cool water. Using hot water on your hair causes damage, but cool or even cold water causes the hair shafts to lie flat, giving your hair a shiny, glossy appearance.
3Wear a swim cap in the pool. Have you ever had a stylist ask you if you're a swimmer? That's because chlorine causes recognizable damage that builds up over time. Give your hair a break from chlorine by wearing a cap every time you go swimming.
- If you go swimming without a cap, make sure to wash out the chlorine with a good natural shampoo.
- Don't sit in the sun after swimming without a cap, because the sun's rays will compound the damage done by the chlorine. Wash it out before you sunbathe.
4Stay in good general health. Just like other parts of your body, your hair is affected by what you eat and drink. Make sure you get plenty of water, vitamins and essential nutrients.
- Omega-3 fatty acids are known to be great for hair and skin. Eat salmon, walnuts, flaxseeds, and other sources of this beneficial food.
- Fruits and vegetables like spinach, kale, carrots, and avocados improve the health of your hair.
We could really use your help!
science projects?
Assertiveness & Self Esteem?
Coordinate Geometry?
- If you really need to blow dry your hair, keep it on the lowest heat setting. If your blow dryer has a cool blast setting, it's better to use that instead.
- Add hats and scarves to your fashion repertoire. They protect your hair from the sun and air pollution, and keep you looking chic between shampoos.
- Try taking prenatal supplements to promote healthy hair growth.

Shooting Management Areas
The NCA has established a "Safety Zone" in the western portion of the area to protect visitors and nearby residents from stray bullets. The maps below shows the two areas (canyon and plateau) with shooting restrictions and the majority of the area still open for safe shooting. Printable Maps of both area are available showing the details of the Snake River Canyon Closure Area and the boundary of the Plateau Closure Area.

Shooting Restriction Details
Snake River Canyon: Public lands are closed to the discharge of rifles and pistols year-round within the Snake River Canyon from Gold Island (near Grand View) downstream to the old Guffey Bridge. The width of the closure is one-half mile from each side of the Snake River or 100 yards back from the canyon rim, whichever is greater. The same area is closed to the discharge of all firearms from February 15 to August 31. The exception to this closure is for the rifle deer hunting season in Hunting Unit 40 on the south side of the Snake River. * Note - This closure still allows you to hunt upland game and waterfowl in the canyon area with shotguns from September 1 to February 14 in accordance with Idaho Fish & Game regulations.

It took more than one Budweiser to calm our nerves before we were escorted into the legendary John Fogerty's trailer before the big show on Sunday. Our anxiety turned out to be completely unnecessary, though, because Fogerty was as mild-mannered and good-hearted as can be. We asked him about his first live show, who he would select to perform at a festival if it were up to him, and even Ike and Tina.

Let me get that door for you.
Humm about me... I could start by saying I'm calm, cool, and collect like Mr. Suave himself, or witty, eccentric, and ostentatious like Daniel Tosh. Perhaps a bit of both, but one word that best describes me is honest. I come from an awesome family that taught me manners, respect and how to be a gentleman. A bit old fashioned in my ways maybe, but chivalry is not dead. I'm definitely a country boy at heart with a can't sit still kind of attitude that likes to work hard and play harder. Yeah yeah everyone else says it. I live it! I grew up right next to bfe in a town smaller than most peoples graduating class and wouldn't trade it for anything. No ma'am, no yuppie boy here! I've had some awesome golf course jobs that have taken me around the country, but recently found my calling in landscape sales. It's the perfect job! My goal within the next year is to fall in love, go road tripping the gulf shores, learn how to wake board, adopt a puppy, and learn how to play the guitar. Looking beyond that, my plans are to get the kids graduated, move back to the country where I'll raise cattle on our ranch, and build a dream home that doesn't have a neighbor for miles. I'm looking for someone who knows what they want in life and is ready to share the journey. I'm looking to meet someone who's adventurous with a passion for the outdoors but at the same time can clean up, throw the heels and hit the town. Not to the club, that's not my style. More of a local bar, concert, hang out with friends kinda guy here. If you find boots and flip flops to the be the majority footwear in your closet and have an appreciation for the small things in life, we're going to get along just fine. Morals and values are essential, so please show some class... I just might want to take you home to mom some day. If your lucky ;) All in all a cute smile, fun personality and the rest can be left up to fate. A couple bits of randomness you must know about me: Mixing ketchup and gravy is awesome, Jude Law stole his image from me, I like to drive my truck in the mud, I think comedy central should have as many channels as espn, the glass is always half full, my best friends go by the name Pilgrim, I survived living in Las Vegas for 4yrs, sarcastic humor is my forte, and Jesus is my homeboy.

Beyonce kills rumors of album delays
For anyone who thinks Beyonce is behind schedule, procrastinating, or delaying her new album's release in any way, shape, or form: move to the left, to the left.
THR published an article Wednesday (July 24) alleging that since Bey scrapped 50 songs, her forthcoming album won't be ready in time for a fall release. But the singer's reps nipped all those rumors right in the bud, and are saying the story isn't true at all.
Beyonce's reps confirmed that since she never scheduled a release date for the new material, there are no delays (that makes sense logically) and that she's been busy recording the tracks while on the road for her "Mrs. Carter Show" world tour, E! reports.
"The Mrs. Carter Show" world tour has been a busy one so far for Queen Bey. While not battling fans (both of the human and inanimate varieties), she also celebrated the inspiring stories of three Boston Marathon bombing survivors by inviting them backstage for a personal meet and greet.
We can't wait to see what kind of hits Beyonce delivers next -- whenever that may be. In the meantime, she's proving herself to be one productive multi-tasker!

3 Dividend Paying Pharma Stocks That Will Profit Off of Rising Obesity Rate By Power Hedge. It is a fact that obese people require more healthcare services and have higher healthcare costs than the average person. The United States currently spends approximately 16% of its GDP on healthcare and the continued expansion of the obesity epidemic will likely swell this further. This is not a good trend for either consumers or for governments.
There is, however, one group that can benefit from this trend. I have already mentioned the link between obesity and maladies such as heart disease and diabetes. Companies that provide products that treat these conditions will be the beneficiaries of the aforementioned increased healthcare spending.
These are three largest producers of diabetes-care products:
Novo Nordisk (NVO), 1.51% yield
Eli Lilly (LLY), 5.11% yield
Sanofi (SNY), 3.49% yield

Gas-guzzler commonly refers to a vehicle that makes inefficient use of fuel.
The term came into wide use to describe the "Gas Guzzler Tax" and after that while discussing environmental concerns related to climate change and smog.
Nowadays, gas-guzzlers are often SUVs or other semi-large vehicles that qualify as light trucks, so they do not need to obey the minimum fuel economy regulations of cars; however, gas-guzzler can also refer to classic cars (mostly American ones with large displacement V8 engines) and other cars that have poor fuel economy. For example, a Lamborghini Murcielago, a Plymouth Roadrunner, and a Chevrolet Tahoe might all be classified as gas-guzzlers, though they are very different cars.
Common examples of 'gas-guzzlers' include:
As we can see, most SUVs and pickup trucks share all the qualities needed to be inefficient, whereas, for instance, supercars usually have only a large displacement engine, making the light truck market with their added popularity very criticizable for causing increase in the use of fuel.
Then there is the reduction of vehicle weight, with a switch to monocoque construction instead of body on frame construction and an increased use of lightweight materials, Aluminium, Plastics and high strength HSLA steels), instead of ordinary mild carbon steel.
Gas-guzzlers are not only seeing a scale back in engine size and weight but also in the type of fuel used to power it to prevent environmental damage caused by the use of fossil fuels. For example, some light truck manufacturers are adopting hydrogen fuel technology in order to provide the consumer a vehicle with a much lower running cost. The problem with these alternative fuel technologies is that they are either too expensive for widespread use and/or they are scarcely available especially in smaller countries.
Diesel technology is widespread in light trucks, especially in Japan and Europe. The bad reputation of diesel fuel and the previously bad quality of the fuel, however, have led to the rarity of such vehicles in the U.S market. The excessive particle emissions of diesel engines have also been cut back with particulate filters, which are offered for most modern diesel engines. The introduction of ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel in the U.S. along with rising gas prices might make diesel-powered vehicles popular again in the United States.
Driving habits and vehicle maintenance are easy to change and can have a big impact on fuel efficiency. Driving at 120 km/h (75 mph) can consume 25% more fuel than cruising at 100 km/h (60 mph) since automobiles are optimized to run in the 60-100 km/h (40-60 mph) range. Sudden acceleration, poorly maintained vehicles (frequency of oil changes and brand) and gasoline brands can also impact overall fuel efficiency by over 20%.

Dankof tells Press TV that the Zionist lobby inside America will utilize the US position in the United Nations Human Rights Council to "buy Carte Blanche" in the Middle East region. Dankof appears Wednesdays on The Ugly Truth radio at 4PM Eastern.
A few moments in Jewish history from 1947 and the "United Nations" Partition Plan:
Proponents of the Plan reportedly put pressure on nations to vote yes to the Partition Plan. A telegram signed by 26 US senators with influence on foreign aid bills was sent to wavering countries, seeking their support for the partition plan. Many nations reported pressure directed specifically at them:
United States (Vote: For): President Truman later noted, "The facts were that not only were there pressure movements around the United Nations unlike anything that had been seen there before, but that the White House, too, was subjected to a constant barrage. I do not think I ever had as much pressure and propaganda aimed at the White House as I had in this instance. The persistence of a few of the extreme Zionist leaders—actuated by political motives and engaging in political threats—disturbed and annoyed me."
India (Vote: Against): Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru spoke with anger and contempt for the way the UN vote had been lined up. He said the Zionists had tried to bribe India with millions and at the same time his sister, Vijaya Lakshmi Pandit, had received daily warnings that her life was in danger unless "she voted right".
Liberia (Vote: For): Liberia's Ambassador to the United States complained that the US delegation threatened aid cuts to several countries. Harvey S. Firestone, Jr., President of Firestone Natural Rubber Company, with major holdings in the country, also pressured the Liberian government.
Philippines (Vote: For): In the days before the vote, the Philippines' representative General Carlos P. Romulo stated "We hold that the issue is primarily moral. The issue is whether the United Nations should accept responsibility for the enforcement of a policy which is clearly repugnant to the valid nationalist aspirations of the people of Palestine. The Philippines Government holds that the United Nations ought not to accept such responsibility". After a phone call from Washington, the representative was recalled and the Philippines' vote changed.
Haiti (Vote: For): The promise of a five million dollar loan may have secured Haiti's vote for partition.

A ROW that threatens the reputation of a leading expert in dating prehistoric artwork has thrown studies on rock art into confusion.
The dispute emerged at the Australian Archaeometry Conference in Sydney last month, when Warren Beck and Timothy Jull of the University of Arizona in Tucson questioned the work of Ronald Dorn of Arizona State University in Tempe. Dorn had given the researchers five samples that came from the natural coatings covering rock carvings, or petroglyphs, from northeast Arizona's Petrified Forest.
Beck and Jull say that the samples seem to contain ground coal and charcoal of widely differing ages. The Tucson researchers told delegates in Sydney that the carbon contamination in Dorn's samples makes any dates based upon them "ambiguous at best".
Petroglyphs are usually dated by radiocarbon analysis of tiny carbon-rich particles found in the "rock varnish" that covers the carvings. This is a natural coating of ...

WSOP Mid-Day: Main Event Anticipation Builds as Final Events Wind Down
It's the calm before the storm at the 2012 World Series of Poker as Saturday is Day 1A of the Main Event. However, with the anticipation for the looming Main Event there is still a handful of events to wrap up before the massive crowds for the Championship event flood the Rio.
Two bracelets were awarded after Day 4 re-starts thanks to hard-stops the night before. Play continues in the $1,000 No Limit Hold'em event with Day 2 passing the bubble. The star-studded field in the $10,000 No Limit Deuce-to-Seven event is winding down as the money bubble is in sight and the invite-only WSOP National Championship got underway at noon.
$10,000 Six-Max No Limit Hold'em
With a winner not decided on the third day of play, another day was needed to see who would be the next owner of a bracelet. Heads-up play between Gregory Merson and Keith Lehr continued at 1 pm PT on Friday and lasted one hand. Minutes into the restart Merson eliminated Lehr to win $1,136,197 along with the coveted bracelet.
Merson's K9 made two pair on the flop of T9T, a Q on the turn put Lehr's AQ ahead but a J on the river completed Merson's straight which ended the day in a blink of an eye.
The final table results were:
- Greg Merson – $1,136,197
- Keith Lehr – $701,757
- Shannon Shorr – $455,362
- Eddy Sabat – $300,753
- Christopher Brammer – $200,502
- Andrew Lichtenberger – $140,351
$3,000 Pot Limit Omaha Hi-Lo
A conclusion was also not reached on Day 3 of the $3,000 Pot Limit Omaha Hi-Lo event forcing another Day 4 restart on Friday. Chris Bell, Roch Cousineau and Viacheslav Zhukov returned to resume play at 2 pm PT. After the quick elimination of Chris Bell, heads-up play carried on for over three hours before Zhukov won the bracelet.
Zhukov entered the day with a sizeable lead but the day has witnessed numerous chip lead changes but eventually Zhukov held them all.
Bell was eliminated by Zhukov after a little over 30 minutes of play to finish in third place for $135,858.
Here are the final results:
- Viacheslav Zhukov – $330,277
- Roch Cousineau – $204,426
- Chris Bell – $135,858
- David "ODB" Baker – $100,820
- Randy Ohel – $75,662
- Yuval Bronshtein – $57,339
- Jack Ward – $43,840
- Scotty Nguyen – $33,789
- Juan Ramirez – $26,235
$1,000 No Limit Hold'em
Cards were back in the air at 1 pm PT on Friday with 726 players returning as play will continue until 10 levels are completed. The bubble burst when the field reached 468, the min-cash being $1,830.
Konstantin Puchkov has continued his impressive 2012 WSOP by recording a baby cash and breaking the record for most cashes in a single WSOP. Puchhov has recorded 11 cashes, the previous record was held by Nikolay Evdakov at 10. The record books do not stop there as Humberto Brenes still in the field guarantees his 67th career WSOP cash, enough to be in the top five all-time.
The notables still alive in the field are Phil Ivey, Greg Ostrander, and Roland Israelashvili. Terrence Chan busted before the bubble exiting with no money but Jeff Madsen, Mohsin Charania and Tony Dunst were ousted, earning min-cashes. The field is now down to 318 players with play continuing until 10 levels are played.
$10,000 No Limit Deuce-to-Seven
The last non-hold'em event of the Series restarted Day 2 at 2 pm PT with a field of 54 players remaining. The bubble is nearing as only 14 will finish in the money out of the 101 entrants. The field is now down to 35 players with play ending after 10 levels of play.
Matt Matusow, Phil Ivey, and Todd Brunson hit the rail on Day 2. Players who have still been spotted in the field include Jason Mercier, David "Bakes" Baker, Jean-Robert Bellande and John Monnette.
The top chip counts are:
- Daniel Negreanu – 225,000
- Benjamin Parker – 185,000
- Justin Bonomo – 170,000
- Mike Wattel – 140,000
- John Juanda – 116,000
- Rep Porter – 112,000
- Hertzel Zalewski – 107,700
- Ali Eslami – 104,000
- David Bakes Baker – 103,000
- Nick Schulman – 100,000
$10,000 WSOP National Championship
A total of 200 players qualified to play; 100 from WSOP POY points while the other 100 come from WSOP circuit events. The WSOP POY qualifiers have to pay the $10,000 entry fee whereas the players from the circuit events get a freeroll. Registration ended after four levels with the final field size set at 157 and the prize-pool at $1,570,000, first place getting $416,051.
David "ODB" Baker showed his excitement for playing in the event by tweeting, "Thanks @WSOP for the opportunity to play in this National Championship. What a great event!".
Another has an opposite view as David Bach tweets, "Skipping the @WSOP National Championship due to poor scheduling. This tourney REALLY conflicts with main event. Broken Record, BUT"
Although running good, Phil Hellmuth tells of his need for a power nap when he tweeted "Won a big pot, then decided I need sleep! Headed back to Aria to sleep 2 1/2 hours, figure my nap will cost me 7K Or 8K in chips…"
Chris Moorman, Brian Rast, Frank Kassela, John Dolan, and Chris Tryba are found near the top of the chip leaders. Early day exits include Tristan Wade, Freddy Deeb, Michael Mizrachi.
There are 137 players left and play will continue Friday until the completion of Level 15.

A United States military attack on Syria appears to be imminent. Imperial U.S. and British warships are in position in the blue waters of the Mediterranean, loaded for "surgical" acts of war against the Bashar al-Assad regime. The junior British and French partners are on board with the tough talk coming from Washington and so are top Middle Eastern clients/allies. There doesn't seem to be anything that can be done to stop the assault, given the heated rhetoric of U.S. Secretary of State John F. Kerry three days ago.
The Pretense of Concern
The official reason given for the looming air assault is that Syria has engaged in the "moral obscenity" (Kerry) of using chemical weapons against its civilians. Kerry accuses the Syrian government of the "indiscriminate slaughter of civilians" and of cynical attempts to cover up this "cowardly crime."
Leaving aside the question of the veracity of this charge (see below), one key assumption behind the pretext is that Washington cares about ordinary people in the Middle East and the broader Muslim world. This is an assumption that nobody should take seriously in light of Washington's mass-murderous conduct towards those people across recent decades. That record includes the following moral obscenities:
- waters by the U.S. warship Vincennes on July 3, 1988. (The commander of the Vincennes William C. Rogers III was subsequently rewarded with a Combat Action ribbon and the prestigious Legion of Merit "for exceptionally meritorious conduct.")
font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">Helping Saddam Hussein's Iraq regime attack Iranian troops with chemical weapons, including sarin, a deadly nerve agent, in 1988.
line-height:150%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";background:white">Maybe Obama should give the order to bomb Syria during his time in King's spot just for the Orwellian thrill of it. He could cue the Pentagon off his remarks, telling them to fire away when he says "And so let Tomahawk missiles strike below the prodigious hilltops of Syria. Let Predators strike beneath the mighty mountains of Pakistan. Let special forces assassins ring death and destruction beneath the heightening cliffs of Afghanistan…Let empire ring with fearsome doom in the streets of Damascus!"

Let Predators strike beneath the mighty mountains of Pakistan. Let special forces assassins ring death and destruction beneath the heightening cliffs of Afghanistan…Let empire ring with fearsome doom in the streets of Damascus!"
Fixing Facts Around Policy, Again
Whenever the official order comes, the game is on. The war train has left the station. As Pepe Escobar wrote yesterday in Asia Times, noting parallels with the march to war on Iraq just more than a decade ago:
Damn another coalition of the willing; Washington already has the British and French poodles in the bag, and full support – in air-con safety – from the democratic Gulf Cooperation Council petro-monarchies, minion Jordan and nuclear power Israel. This is what passes for 'international community' in the newspeak age. The Brits are already heavily spinning that no UN Security Council resolution is needed; who cares if we do Iraq 2.0? For the War Party, the fact that Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Martin Dempsey said Syrian 'rebels' could not promote US interests seems to be irrelevant….Washington already has what it takes for the Holy Tomahawks to start flying; 384 of them are already positioned in the Eastern Mediterranean. B-1 bombers can be deployed from Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar. And bunker-busting bombs will certainly be part of the picture. What happens next requires concentric crystal balls – from Tomahawks to a barrage of air strikes to Special Ops commandos on the ground to a sustained air campaign lasting months." (Pepe Escobar, "Obama Set for Holy Tomahawk War," Asia Times, August 27, 2013, http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Middle_East/MID-01-270813.html)
Facts are being fixed around the policy in the White House and Downing Street, as before the invasion of Iraq in 2003. The intrepid, truth-telling British Middle East expert and journalist Robert Fisk complains that England's prime minster Andrew Cameron has "forgotten how similar are the sentiments being uttered by Obama and himself to those uttered by Bush and Blair a decade ago, the same bland assurances, uttered with such self-confidence but without quite enough evidence to make it stick. In Iraq, we went to war on the basis of lies originally uttered by fakers and conmen. Now it's war by YouTube. This doesn't mean that the terrible images of the gassed and dying Syrian civilians are false. It does mean that any evidence to the contrary is going to have to be suppressed." (Robert Fisk, "Does Obama Know He's Fighting on al Qaida's Side?" The Independent (UK), August 27, 2013, http://www.independent.co.uk/voices/comment/does-obama-know-hes-fighting-on-alqaidas-side-8786680.html). My guess is that Cameron doesn't care, not that he's forgotten.
Speaking of (deductive) evidence to the contrary, Escobar wryly notes that "The Obama administration has ruled that Assad allowed UN chemical weapons inspectors into Syria, and to celebrate their arrival unleashed a chemical weapons attack mostly against women and children only 15 kilometers away from the inspectors' hotel." You don't have to be a "conspiracy nut" to find that story more than a little odd. Why would the Assad regime undertake a chemical weapons attack when it is wining the war against its opposition?
Once again we are hearing (as in 2003) that no UN Security Council resolution is required and that UN investigators' findings are beside the point.
And forget about getting U.S. Congressional authorization: Obama did not even bother with the pretense of seeking that in regard to Libya.
We are Good
For the war masters in Washington to hold back now in the absence of something dramatic and highly unlikely in the way of Syrian and Russian capitulation would be to appear feckless and weak – something no Mafia chief or imperial world policeman can afford. Have they not drawn "red lines" of proper state conduct?
The fact that Washington does not itself honor those lines is irrelevant. In the Orwellian world of empire, we are fundamentally noble, benevolent, well-intentioned, democratic, and humanitarian (unlike our vicious enemies), despite our occasional "mistakes." As Madeline "Price Worth Paying" Albright (a great inspiration to current humanitarian imperialists like Obama's National Security Adviser Susan Rice and his Ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power) said in 1999: "The United States is good. We try to do our best everywhere."
"This One Will Run and Run"
Citing Kosovo and adding on Libya, the new cruise-missile liberals-in-chief claim that they intend to undertake only a brief punitive action that will be over quickly, without involving the U.S. and "the West" in the Syrian civil war. But to go after any of Assad's military and planning facilities or headquarters is to get more deeply involved in precisely that conflict and indeed in the whole set of conflicts across the Middle East. And how many times have we heard the "short-term" promise in the long mendacious history of U.S. empire? "Sure, we are told that it will be a short strike on

Queen of the Flagships
The elegance of this 35-metre yacht continues to capture the esteem of those who can recognize a Riva craftsmanship when they see one.
The punchy bow, the advanced deckhouse, the distinguished colours and the precious woods that even cover the walkways all go to make this boat a perfect match of modernity and sophisticated style. There are numerous quality features that make the 115' Athena such a surprising boat. First of all, the size, which make this vessel a very semi-custom megayacht. Though the design of the vessel itself cannot be changed, the owner can actually decide on the interior layout and count on the skills of Officina Italiana Design, the design agency responsible for the exterior and interior design of all Riva boats, and on the skills of Riva's Engineering department. The owner can, in fact, choose from a wide range of high quality woods and fabrics, the pairing that best suits his taste and needs. The 115' Athena represents the ideal time for all the clients of this historic shipyard to fashion their unique traits into a project that will retain, whatever happens, the Riva style. The number of guest cabins may vary from 4 to 5, while the dining area has a separate entrance for the crew members, thus guaranteeing guests the highest degree of privacy. The painstaking care to detail and the attention paid to the design make up the leitmotiv found in all of the areas in the 115' Athena, where there are important pieces made by some of the most prominent modern Italian designers, like the basins the bathrooms have been built around. Furthermore, the harmony and elegance develop into a very real sort of "lounge" philosophy which can be found in the tiniest of detail. The lounge atmosphere can be felt in the corridors and in the various areas thanks to the large windows, which allow a great deal of natural light to enter. One special feature of this model is the skylounge, located on the fly, which is closed off by two large windows that allow a wonderful 360° view and which can comfortably take ten people. This very special area, which has been designed for the standard version as an air-conditioned media-room or an additional cosy relaxing salon, can be completely redesigned to meet the taste of the owner, even as an extra cabin. The rest of the fly has been designed for the pleasantries of life in the open like, for example, a relaxing lie in the Jacuzzi whirlpool bath, included in the standard version. Even this feature can be changed to the owner's need. When you are surrounded with such quality, class and luxury, the cruises offered by the 115' Athena turn into an unforgettable experience.

" Brand: Tiny Love / Type: Play Gyms / Type: Play Mats & Gyms "
* Prices may differ from that shown
I purchased this super play mat when my son was around 6 months, he originally had the fisher price rainforest play mat but had outgrown it, I wanted the play mat to make him a large play area in our lounge. I purchased the mat online so wasn't sure what the quality of the mat would be like, when it arrived I was very pleasantly surprised by how thick and comfy the mat is, due to how thick the mat is it is still quite large even when folded!
The mat comprises of 12 large squares and sown in a typical patchwork quilt type of patter, the squares all brightly coloured making it attractive to baby, the squares have pictures of animals, plants, sun etc the great range of colours makes it suitable for either a boy or a girl. When the mat is out it very large, over double the size of regular play mat so baby has plenty of space to sit with toys and can roll around a lot without coming off the mat.
The mat has a few sensory areas which are a soft textured square, the elephants ear crackles, a squeaker in the fish pond square, a small teether in the shape of a leaf attached by a rope, a mirror which has a little stand so baby can look at its self when having a tummy time, below the mirror is a little velvety curl which babay can pull on and it springs back and finally it has a small plastic hoop which allows you to attach you own toys to the mat. When I purchased the mat I didn't realise it had all of these features so they were a nice surprise and my son had a great time exploring them all.
It has two handles, one on either side which I suppose are meant for you to carry the mat but I have never used them for that purpose but we did use them to attach toys on to!
Having a very sicky baby the mat was stuck through the wash at least once a week for around 5 months and still looks like brand new, I have really pleased with this mat and although my son no longer requires it as he is mobile we have packed it away to use next summer as it will make a fab mat to put on the lawn when he plays out.
Tiny Love's Super Mat - an extra large, extra cushioned activity mat baby can share with a parent, sibling or friend. Indoors or outdoors, the all-purpose play area features a variety of textured materials, removable mirror and many activities for baby to explore and enjoy. The smiling faces encourage baby to look at them and smile back. Features Extra large blanket Horn Sharing the fun with the family Indoor / outdoor use Adjustable mirror Engaging peek-a-boo Multiple textures Soothing teether Easy-fold portable washable mat Suitable from 0 months+
