Citizens 4 Ethics In Government
Yesterday, a political action committee called Citizens 4 Ethics In Government spent tens of thousands of dollars to prop up the re-election campaign of U.S. Representative Scott DesJarlais, a Republican from Tennessee's 4th congressional district.
There are ethical questions about Citizens 4 Ethics In Government's interference in the 4th district race. Almost all of the money being spent by the Citizens 4 Ethics in Government PAC comes from people associated with a company called Healthmark Ventures. Healthmark Ventures owner Andy Miller had ethical problems of his own in the 2012 campaign season when he used the Citizens 4 Ethics In Government PAC to launch political attacks against an opponent of congressional candidate Lou Ann Zelenik at the same time he was serving as campaign manager for Zelenik. Miller was forced to resign in disgrace.
Andy Miller is also involved in the Tennessee Freedom Coalition, a group with a name that sounds harmless enough, but has been cited by Islamophobia Watch as one of the world's most virulent anti-Muslim organizations. TFC has supported an activist who calls for the banning of the Koran and has conducted training sessions for police in Tennessee about how to fight back against an Islamic uprising that TFC asserts is taking place, and has organized a conference called Sharia and the Islamization of America.
The Citizens 4 Ethics in Government PAC also seems to have a blind spot for the ethical problems of Congressman DesJarlais himself, who was reprimanded and fined for violating professional ethics when he was caught having sex with two patients while serving as their medical doctor. Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Government has listed DesJarlais as among the "most corrupt" in Congress.

Spicy Chicken With Peanuts is a quick and easy-to-make version of a classic Chinese dish, featured in "Foolproof Chinese Cooking" (DK, $19.95) by chef and food writer Ken Hom.
The original is a western Chinese dish known as "gongbao" or "kung pao," Hom writes in the recipe headnotes, pointing out that his version is close to it. The chicken is combined with peanuts and chilies, and finishes cooking in a sauce that is a lively blend of soy sauce, garlic, scallions and ginger.
The recipe can be prepared in about 25 minutes.
There are about 40 recipes in Hom's book, which is as reassuring as its title, with step-by-step instructions and color photos to help cooks through unfamiliar territory. The clarity and simplicity of his text reflect Hom's experience, from cookbook writing, teaching and TV food shows.
This book is the latest in the BBC "Great Food" series, from the TV programs of that name.
Spicy Chicken : With Peanuts
3 tablespoons peanut oil
3 dried red chilies, split lengthwise in half
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch chunks
3/4 cup roasted peanuts
For the sauce:
2 tablespoons chicken stock
2 tablespoons Shaoxing rice wine or dry sherry
1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
2 teaspoons sugar
1 tablespoon coarsely chopped garlic
2 teaspoons finely chopped scallions
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh ginger
2 teaspoons Chinese white rice vinegar or cider vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons sesame oil
Heat a wok over a high heat. Add the oil and chilies and stir-fry for a few seconds (you may remove the chilies when they turn black or leave them in). Next, add the chicken and peanuts, and stir-fry for one minute. Remove the chicken, peanuts and chilies from the wok and drain in a colander.
Put chicken stock, rice wine, soy sauce, sugar, garlic, scallions, ginger, vinegar and salt into the wok. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Return the chicken, peanuts and chilies to the wok and cook for about four minutes in the sauce, mixing well. Finally, add the sesame oil. Give the mixture a good stir and remove the chilies, if you prefer; serve immediately.
Makes four servings.

Faire Days Ahead
- Artist: Drake Brigit
- Format: CD
- Release Date: 5/12/2009
|your cart is empty
With her toes firmly planted in the Missouri Ozarks, Brigit Drake has a love of American folk music. Born into a family that embraced music, she inherited her father's coronet and promptly failed music class. Many years later, while visiting Silver Dollar City in Branson, Missouri, she saw a hammer dulcimer and knew that she had found her instrument. Since that time Brigit learned and played American, English, Scottish and Welsh folk music while living in the Norfolk, Virginia area. There, she added Appalachian dulcimer, Bowed Psaltery and Autoharp to her repertoire. Brigit played local events and weddings and after moving to Houston, TX became a member of the local Dulcimer Society. She now resides in Austin, TX. The popularity of Renaissance Festivals led her to Medieval and Renaissance music with a focus on Celtic music. Brigit has performed at the Four Winds Faire in Tyler, TX and the Ingleside Faire near Corpus Christi.


text: Another way to introduce living things into a barren area is to plant some easy-to-grow things in boxes or tubs, or transplant oth- ers from a nearby yard or park. 3. Make a terrarium for your classroom so that children can explore living things indoors during choice time. Be sure that the animals you put in the terrarium can survive in that habitat. (See pp. 123–125 for instructions.) Before starting "Focused Exploration: Plants," collect materials for growing plants, pp. 127–129. Likewise, before starting "Focused Exploration: Animals," collect materials for making a terrarium for visiting animals, pp. 123–127. 4. Collect naturalist tools. Each child needs the following: • Hand lens • A few tongue depressors • Clipboard (Option: cardboard with a bulldog clip attached) • Pencil, ideally attached to clipboard by Velcro fastener or string (Some classes might prefer shorter, stubbier writing implements.) Each group of four children needs the following: • Hand trowel • Penlight or other small flashlight • Container for safely collecting living things • Piece of Plexiglas, approximately 8 by 11 inches The class needs the following to share: • Two or more empty large terrariums (one for the teacher-made terrarium and one for the children's animal terrarium) • Plant sprayer • Measuring tapes or a ball of string • Field guides of local plants and animals • Still camera and/or video camera, if possible 5. Collect as many of the following art materials as possible so that children will have opportunities to record and represent what they discover: • Crayons and markers (both fine and thick point) • Paints • Clay or plasticine • Collage materials • Bendable wire Getting Ready 17 While a terrarium provides children with an environment to observe, on its own the experience is not nearly as powerful as exploring outdoors. Even if the outdoor area is small and thin on living things, use it. High-quality, easy-to-use tools will help children explore the plants and animals around them. It is better to have four good hand lenses that young children can easily see through and carry, than six bad ones that are scratched or too small. Good tools also help children become independ- ent learners. For example, children can use sprayers to independently water plants, and sturdy, lightweight clipboards to regularly document their observations. Teacher note: I planned to have the class look around the school grounds for living things, but I took a look myself and noticed there was very little to see. I talked to the custodian who helped me set up a compost heap in a quiet cor- ner. I can't wait to see what kinds of bugs we attract! Teacher note: Friday It's hard to really know how some things get what they need. It's easier with plants, but I was surprised where I found some of them: • Little weeds in tiny cracks in the pavement • A little plant actually growing out of a wall • Some weeds way back in an alley next to a trash area

Now? We have a full gameplay trailer featuring long-standing series staple Mac Fraser. Do we have a happy ending to go along with it? Yes. Some trailers are promising. Some trailers are exciting. But some trailers bring a joyful tear to the eye and make you feel like a big gushy loser. This is one of those trailers.
Now, if EA could release a Kaori trailer next, that'd be just great, thanks.

Gluten-Free Diet Menu Plan for the Week of February 16, 2014
Our dinners this week reflect the cold weather that we are still having here in the Snow Belt. I'll be SO happy when things warm up! But, since that hasn't happened yet, I'll put our oven to use almost every day for this Gluten-Free Menu Plan.
There's a slow cooker full of corned beef dinner that simmers all day long to start the week, and we'll try to save some corned beef for sandwiches a few days later.
After that there are five meals that use the oven at least in part, from baked fish fillets, a chicken casserole, some flatbread to make corned beef sandwiches to go with curry soup, a meatloaf and then a pizza dinner.
The final dinner is a chicken stir-fry, but I will use the oven that day, too, to make some cookies.
And every bit of it is gluten-free.
Gluten-Free Diet Menu Plan
For the Week of February 16, 2014
Day 1 – Slow Cooker Meal
Slow-Cooked Corned Beef Dinner with Carrots, Potatoes, Onions & Cabbage
Marshmallow Crispy Treats Dressed Up a Little
Day 2 – Oven Meal + a Birthday Cake
Salmon (or Pollock) Fillets Baked with Garlic and Butter
Napa Cabbage Slaw with Red Wine Vinaigrette
Baked Potatoes
Flourless Chocolate Cake (to celebrate a family member's birthday) and we'll top it with Toasted Pecan Halves
Day 3 – Oven Meal
Chicken Mushroom Rice Bake with Homemade GF Mushroom Sauce
Fresh Pear Slices
Day 4 – Soup and Sandwich Supper with Fresh Hot Flatbread
Angeline's Curry Vegetable Red Lentil Soup
Pastrami Sandwich (or Leftover Corned Beef)
Day 5 – Oven Meal
Roasted Sweet Potato Wedges and Cauliflower
Day 6 – Pizza, Salad and a Movie Night In…
Pepperoni Pizza Bread (with Extra Cheese for Al)
Kale Salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette
Rainbow Sherbet
Day 7 – Stir-Fry, a 30 Minute Meal
Chicken Stir-Fry with Broccoli and Peppers
Cooked Rice
Peanut Butter Cookies with (Optional) Cashews
This gluten-free menu plan is designed for those with gluten intolerance, gluten sensitivity, or celiac (coeliac) disease, but I've found that people who have no food allergies like these gluten-free recipes, too. They are wheat-free, barley-free and rye-free. Many are also suitable for the paleo diet or may be casein-free, dairy-free, egg-free, lactose-free, nut-free or refined sugar-free.

Importance Of Pre-Approval Letter
Realtors count on a solid pre-approval letter from home buyers. Home sellers normally will not show a property and more importantly, will not accept a real estate purchase offer from a home buyer without a pre-approval letter. A shrewd real estate agent will question the pre-approval letter that they were presented with and will often contact the mortgage lender who issued the pre-approval letter to see how solid the pre-approval letter is and to see whether the mortgage loan originator has thoroughly reviewed the mortgage loan borrower's tax returns, W-2s, and whether the mortgage loan originator has submitted the mortgage loan applicant's file through Fannie Mae's Automated Underwriting System.
Do All Mortgage Loan Originators Qualify Borrowers Same Way?
The pre-approval stage is the most important part of the mortgage loan process. Many mortgage loan officers just issue pre-approvals by running the credit report and seeing whether the mortgage borrower meets the minimum credit scores. They do not review the credit report to see whether they have had any late payments in the past 12 months, see if they have any credit disputes, check for unsatisfied judgments, check to see for any tax liens, or check for any other credit issues that may come up during the mortgage approval process. A sloppy pre-approval is the main reason why mortgage loans get denied. Other more diligent mortgage loan officers will look and thoroughly review the mortgage applicant's tax returns to see if they have unreimbursed expenses or any other debt obligations such as alimony payments, or child support payments.
Prior Foreclosure
Most mortgage loan officers do not make a mistake with prior bankruptcies from mortgage applicant's. There is a two year mandatory waiting period after a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy to qualify for a FHA Loan from the date of the Bankruptcy discharged date with re-established credit. There is a four year waiting period after a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy discharged date to qualify for a conventional loan with re-established credit. However, with foreclosures, it is a different matter. There is a three year waiting period to qualify for a FHA Loan after the recorded date of either a foreclosure and/or deed in lieu of foreclosure. The three year waiting period does not start until the date of the sheriff's sale or the date when the deed of the property was transferred out of the homeowner's name into the name of the mortgage lender or the name of the new homeowner. It does not matter when the homeowner surrendered the keys to the mortgage lender. Sometimes, years go by where the deed of the property has not been transferred out of the name of the homeowner and the homeowner thought that the foreclosure process was done and that they have met the mandatory waiting period. With conventional loans, there is a seven year mandatory waiting period to qualify for a conventional loan after the recorded date of the foreclosure or the date of the sheriff's sale. There is a four year mandatory waiting period after the date of the short sale to qualify for a conventional loan. There is a four year mandatory waiting period to qualify for a conventional loan after the recorded date of a deed in lieu of foreclosure to qualify for a conventional loan.

New Compound Shows Promise As Advanced Breast Cancer Treatment
Researchers have found positive results in the creation of a genetically engineered compound that attacks the protein in the gene HER-2/neu, which is present in a high number of breast cancer cases. The compound enhances the killing ability of chemotherapy by weakening the strength of the tumor-causing protein in HER-2/neu. Several women who were treated with the compound found that their tumors disappeared, shrank, and in one case actually disappeared. Over a hundred breast cancer centers around the world are testing the new compound. For more information call 1-800-821-8590.

Is It Time for You to Invest in Coaching?
August 13, 2014 in Investing In Real Estate
Do you have a coach? If you don't, I have to ask you a question. Why not?
The best investment you can make in yourself and your business is to invest in coaching. Did you know that "coaches even have coaches"? It's true.
Almost all of the biggest earners in our business have at least one coach – sometimes two as long as they are trying to grow their business.
Do you know why? It's because you can shave years off your learning curve with a coach no matter what level you are at.
The coach a beginner has will be teaching very different things than someone that has an investor student that has done some deals. As you get to a more advanced stage in your business, you will need a coach that can teach you more advanced strategies.

Citrine gemstone
When you are looking for some of the best gift options you can go for, jewelry is one of the most common results that come up. If you choose a piece of jewelry that is according to the tastes and preferences of your partner, then you can be sure it will appreciated a lot more than you have originally thought. And this is the result you are expecting.
One of the most important factors that you need to consider when you are choosing jewelry for the person you treasure most is the color. If she hates red, the last thing that you should do is buy a ruby ring. There are enough options on the market today that you can use in order to satisfy all the demands of your partner as far as the color of the jewelry is concerned.
For instance, if she likes yellow, you should choose the citrine gemstone as the center piece of what you will purchase. This is one of the most suited choices you can make when your partner likes the yellow color. It might be difficult to find in natural form, but this does not mean that it will be as difficult to find with the help of a jewelry store.
The chemical composition of the citrine gemstone is the one that makes it occur so rare in nature. It may be a beautiful gemstone that might look amazing when your partner is wearing it, but it requires different attention in order to obtain it.
Quartz is one of the most widespread minerals on the face of our planet and the citrine gemstone is a variety of quartz, but it is very difficult to find in natural form. This is why heat-treating another variety of quartz, amethyst, can lead to obtaining the citrine gemstone.
When you walk into a jewelry store and you see citrine rings displayed in the window, you should know that it is obtained after a process and that it is rarely found in the same form in nature, no matter what the salesman will tell you.
The name of the gemstone is derived from the Latin word of the color yellow, but you can find various citrine rings with brown gemstones as well. If you don't have any luck in traditional stores near you, the internet might provide better results.
The internet is the best source for any information you might be looking for, regardless of the subject or topic of discussion, but this is also the place where you will be able to find anything you are interested in buying, such as citrine rings.
The number of vendors that will offer you what you are looking for is a lot higher than you think and when it comes to incredible jewelry designs, this is the best way to go. But if you are looking for high quality jewelry in the UK, this is where you will find the answer.
The United Kingdom has a few specific rules about the jewelry pieces and this is where you can be sure about the quality of the citrine rings you are interested in. One of the websites where you will find an incredible collection can be found at letsbuygold.com.
Julia Bennet - About Author:
A citrine gemstone is one of the rarest occurring gemstones in the world due to its chemical composition, but there are various processes through which it can be obtained. If you want citrine rings that look amazing, the website mentioned afore is the best source.

FRBR implies no such thing at all. The only way to find such an implication is by misreading FRBR. Because FRBR does. not. deal. with. display. Period. How much more clearly can that be said?
Well, that kind of argument certainly convinces me! I guess that ends this topic for everyone forever …. 🙂
FRBR will help by telling the catalogers, metadata technicians, catalog/discovery layer designers, etc. what kinds of things are contained in bibliographic metadata and how these things might be related to each other. RDA applies the FRBR model of bibliographic data in defining specific elements and specific relationships. It is up to the catalog/discovery layer designers to take those metadata elements and figure out the best ways to make the metadata function so the resources are findable by the users; FRBR doesn't say anything about how to do this, and it was never meant to.
What will people be able to discover that they are not able to find today? What will be so incredibly different from what we have now?
Our current metadata, as currently coded in MARC records, are a hopeless jumble in comparison to the elements defined in RDA. People will be able to discover *so* many more things than they can now in our current catalogs. (Well, I suppose they *could* discover them now, if they wanted to spend half their lives trying to make the connections between things that are only implicit in many cases, if they are there at all.)
Yes, we can go into the linked data universe. Big deal, as my podcast discusses. We can do that now, anyway.
We can't get very far with the current state of the metadata.
All of this, even though it can be demonstrated that our MARC records are not a hopeless jumble. Sure, I have nothing against getting rid of MARC format–that's fine. Changing the format should have been the first step, but some have complained about my suggestion that we merely abandon ISO2709!
Still, please demonstrate how current systems do not allow all of what you are stating. Nobody is proposing any new "access points"–there will be the same authors, titles and subjects as always. Yes, some of the relationships may become more explicit, but it remains to be demonstrated that additional detail in bibliographic relationships will be of any genuine use to the public, while the millions of records we currently have will never be upgraded. On the other hand, I believe that improving subject analysis, perhaps by analyzing down to 10% instead of current 20% may be useful for the public–but first we would have to make our subject headings themselves actually function in the web environment because they don't work today. Subjects are a different area however.
Once again, I see a faith in some sort of wonderful future that is extremely vague; that FRBR and Linked Data are genuine solutions to the problems we face. At least I do not share that faith and prefer to be shown.

How Much Equity Do Your Employees Deserve? The Dynamic-Split Model Breaks It Down
Editor's note: Mike Moyer is the author of Slicing Pie, a book about implementing dynamic equity splits. Few topics cause more rifts in startup teams than equity splits. Today, the vast majority of equity splits are fixed. For instance, two founders split the equity "50/50" and one does all the work. Then what?

|Images of clothing from the Kievan Period
|The Kievan period dates from around 860AD until the Mongol invasion of Russia. Early clothing was simply designed but well decorated. Later, after the conversion to Christianity in 988AD, the clothing began to reflect the influence of Byzantium, though with an essentially Russian flair. The most notable difference between Kievan and Byzantine is the differences in drape: a territory with a tendency to be muddy led the Kievans to keep their gowns short, no longer than the ankle even for women. Nothing was allowed to drape or drag. In addition, the Russian fashion was for a static line, rather than the voluminous opulence of Byzantine styles.
|Image 1: Typical outfits for early Kievan Period - pre-Christian. The man is wearing a rubakha shirt. The maiden has on a full length rubakha with a panova over it. Her circlet is called a nachil'nika. You can tell she's an unmarried woman because her hair is uncovered.
|Image 2: Another early Kievan couple. This couple is married, as evidenced by the woman's povoinik, covering her hair. I'm not sure if she's supposed to be wearing a rubakha and panova, as the maiden above: I've never seen a split overdress as this picture suggests anywhere else.
Note the more complicated boots on the man. This couple are probably wealthier townsfolk, merchants perhaps.
|Image 3: Various headwear for Kievan maidens, starting with the common on the left made of a leather band, upperclass in the middle made of embroidered silk ribbon glued to a birchbark or leather base, and princess on the right, hers made of precious metals and gems. Note also the necks: The common woman wears beads and amulets, the upperclass woman wears necklaces of finer gems, and the princess has an ornately embroidered and bejeweled neckline on her gown.
|Image 4: On the right side, some Kievan noblemen, late 10th C.
This image is now on the Yahoo Albums site -- Kievan album, image 20 of 39 (2003_0101RussianCostume0034)
|Image 5: Kievan Noblewomen on the right, late 10th C. Note the pattern sketches on the left, depicting the similarities of Kievan garments to Byzantine, as well as the sketch of the separate ornate collar worn on special occasions, called the ozherl'ya. In addition, the ladies are all wearing fur lined caps, indicating cooler weather.
|Image 6: Another larger image of an ozherl'ya like the one above. Note the essentially religious nature of these decorations: depictions of saints and archangels. This example is probably from the later Kievan period, when religious decoration on garments flourished. The ozherl'ya in the above picture has more of a stylized decoration of vines and floral motifs.
|Image 7: Late 10th C. On the left, a minstrel with his gusli, an instrument similar to the psaltery. On the right, two townsmen, clearly craftsmen. And in the background, another peasant farmer and a pair of peasant women from the southernmost reaches of the principality.
|Image 8: Various ways of married women to wear the ubrus. Above we saw maiden headdresses, here we have married women with their hair properly covered.
|Image 9: This royal Kievan couple is dressed for court. The Princess's ornate kokoshnik crown is atop her ubrus, with kolty hanging to her collarbone. The Prince wears his mantle over his navershnik, or festival overshirt. Note the shorter length of his shirts: this Prince is an active sort.
|Image 10: This later Kievan noble ladies, from the 12th/13th C, are wearing their best. The lady on the left is wearing her venets crown over her ubrus. She has a ozherl'ya on over her brocade navershnick. The lady in the middle is wearing a shuba over her rubakha, with long kolty hanging form her fur lined cap. The lady on the right is wearing a brocade and embroidered letnik with deep winged sleeves, with an ozherl'ya, and her kokoshnik crown is jeweled and embroidered cloth of gold on a sturdy hardened leather base.
Note that while earrings were known in the period, the style were generally simple hoops, usually worn by men. Women wore the ornate 'temple ornaments' known as kolty from their hats and circlets.
Also note the ornately embroidered shoes the three ladies wear.

This home is in a zero-lot-line neighborhood. The East wall of the house abuts the neighbors' driveway and is roughly two feet below grade. Because the driveway was extended, a larger volume of water was directed toward this wall and quickly became a recipe for disaster.
The existing liquid rubber membrane was deteriorating due to the intrusion of roots, which eventually allowed water to enter the house. The drain was also clogged with sediment as there was no filter fabric encapsulating the drainage stone, or the pipe itself.
Normally the water would filter through the stone and infiltrate the pipe, but the roots from the plants and years of silt and sediment had slowed the process enough that the water would sit against the wall. Once the plant roots broke through the membrane, all the water in the soil seeped into the house.
The damage to the house consisted of rotted sill plates, wall studs, and a considerable amount of soggy carpet. A large storm was all it took for catastrophic failure and the home was suddenly a mess with water and smelly mold.
Instead of replacing what was originally there, the system was completely redesigned. PVC pipe was used for durability and ease of maintenance. Two clean-outs were added so that future homeowners could easily flush the drain with a garden hose.
The drain trench was lined with filter fabric and the pipe itself was also wrapped. Utilizing fabric slows the process of "blinding off", which is the inevitable accumulation of fine silts and sand particles against the drainage surface. These particles build up over time and block or "blind" the drain which prevents water from flowing freely into the system. This essential step was absent from the initial design, which is why the pipe was almost completely filled with soil and debris.
As a final step to retard water entry into the masonry, the east wall was cleaned and re-coated with liquid rubber. The wall was cleaned with an angle grinder with a wire wheel so that all loose material was removed. Pressure washing removed any remaining material and soil and the wall was allowed to dry. Two coats of Ames Liquid Rubber were applied with a sheet of 6 mil plastic between coats for reinforcement. The filter fabric was also embedded into the final coat to prevent the angular stone from puncturing the membrane over time.
Finally, with everything prepped, the drain and fabric were placed, pitched to 1% slope, and back-filled with #57 crushed stone. The fabric used was SRW NW 4.5, which provides adequate encapsulation, but is permeable to allow water infiltration.
As a final touch, the exit for the drain was fabricated and encorporated into the existing stone bed-border along the front of the house. Because of the tight budget, a spillway was not installed, but some effort was put forth to make it look as nice as possible. To prevent rodents, insects, spiders, and debris from entering the outlet end of the drain a screen was secured with a Fernco fitting and ring clamps.

At last, Luna safe at home
Missing dog, owners are reunited after 9 days
Published 1:00 am, Tuesday, January 12, 2010
COLONIE -- After nine days on the lam, Luna, the deaf bulldog mix who broke out of her boarding pen at a veterinary hospital, was back in her owners' arms Monday, a few pounds lighter but none the worse for wear.
Officials at the Shaker Veterinary Hospital on Maxwell Road, from where Luna escaped at 4:30 a.m. on Jan. 2, said it's possible the dog ate food left out by concerned dog lovers throughout Latham and Loudonville, drank water that wasn't frozen and may have found shelter in old barns and a vacant greenhouse during freezing temperatures.
Luna lost about 12 pounds, said Ken Wolfe, assistant director of the veterinary hospital. She weighed 65 pounds when she pushed open the door to her crate and took off.
As Luna looked at the cameras and showed her friendly side at an afternoon news conference at the veterinary hospital, her rescue was detailed by Wolfe and her owners.
It began about 12:30 a.m., when dogs started barking inside a home on Springwood Manor Drive which runs alongside the property of State Police Troop G headquarters on Route 9 in Loudonville.
Family members looked out and saw Luna in their partially fenced-in backyard. They recognized the dog from a story that appeared in the Times Union on Sunday, said Shelley Rataul, one of the dog's owners.
They tried to get the dog in the house but Luna barked and wouldn't go in. So, they called the veterinary hospital and from there Ralph Rataul, the other owner, hurried to the Springwood Manor Drive home.

Recent college graduates should plan on some time spent couch surfing or moving back in to their childhood bedrooms. The job market is as tough as ever and their lack of work experience often moves them down to the bottom of the resume pile.
Any advice for the young people who need to start paying for those four years of higher education?
From today's story:
The job market continues to be particularly discouraging for college graduates, who often have little work experience and face looming student loan payments. Their thin resumes make it difficult to stand out among a flurry of job applications. As a result, schools are looking for new approaches to the way they send their graduates out into the world. Graduates will need all the help they can get: Despite signs that the economy is recovering from the recession, prospects for job hunters remain bleak. The U.S. jobless rate reached 10.2 percent in October, reaching double digits for the first time in 26 years. And while the economy has resumed growing, recent labor market data show that has not led to job creation.
The Capital Region's unemployment rate is 7 percent, according to the state Department of Labor.
The number of companies hiring recent graduates is about 40 percent lower than just two years ago, according to a survey released last week by Michigan State University's Collegiate Employment Research Institute, which found that just 27 percent of companies had definite plans to hire recent grads.

This is an A I bought with a stuck engine last summer, this summer she cut my fields. Guys here helped me identify the mower as a Woods L503. Woods does not make the L503 anymore, but I believe they still make an L59. Both are 60" cut. Either one cuts real well and parts are still available.Best Regards,Charlie

GEICO Honda star Eli Tomac, the 2013 Lucas Oil AMA 250 National Motocross Champion, who will race 450 Supercross full time in 2014, has arrived in Germany for his MX of Nations debut later this week.
GEICO Motorcycle Honda rider Eli Tomac is fully prepared for one of the biggest single races in his career, the 67th Monster Energy FIM Motocross of Nations in Teutschenthal, Germany, this coming weekend.
"Nations is one of those races every rider wants on their résumé," Tomac said, as he left his home in Cortez, Colo., to fly to Europe. "It signifies that you're one of the top riders in your country and that's huge. I'm honored and humbled to be a part of Team USA, and I can't wait to get over there and do everything we can to win this race."
Team USA has emerged victorious from Motocross of Nations a record 22 times, and is once again considered the favorite coming into the multinational event. But last year in the loamy sand of Lommel, Belgium, the powerful group from the U.S. was relegated to third, finishing behind this year's host, Germany, and last year's home team, Belgium.
Each of the 40 countries participating in this year's Motocross of Nations will field a team of three riders competing in three different classes: MX1, MX2, and Open. Points are awarded in each class based on finishing positions, then combined for an overall team score.
Returning to Team USA from 2012 are Ryan Dungey, who will ride his 450cc Red Bull KTM in MX1, and Tomac's former teammate at GEICO Honda, Justin Barcia, who will compete on his 450cc Muscle Milk Honda in the Open category. Tomac will be taking his last ride on a 250cc Honda in the MX2 class.
"I wasn't a part of last year's team, but I've talked a lot with Justin and Ryan about that race and I know how much they want to redeem themselves," Tomac said. "I want to do everything I can to help the USA get the title back. It's very important to all three of us.
"The Teutschenthal track should be way different than Lommel. It's hard-pack clay, so it will seem a lot more familiar to us. It's not going to be easy by any stretch, especially with the German team being at home. The crowd will be on their side, for sure, and it will be a crazy atmosphere, but I'm pumped."
Fans in North America can catch the proceedings during a three-hour broadcast beginning at 3 p.m. (EST), Sunday, on CBS Sports Network.
"It's very unique knowing that you're representing your country," said Tomac, who earned the 2012 Supercross Lites West title and was runner-up to German Ken Roczen this year. "It's like the Olympics, where it's us against everyone else. The fact we're going to another country kind of adds to that feeling.
"Most of the guys we're competing against are guys we've all raced before, so the same things that make us successful at home will apply. We'll need good starts and we'll need to avoid mistakes. We all know what to do; now it's time to execute."

Moulding teachers into strong leaders
A career in teaching can be both fulfilling and rewarding. If you are an aspiring teacher, apart from being well-read and competent, you will also need to imbibe strong leadership skills.education Updated: Apr 23, 2014 11:36 IST
A career in teaching can be both fulfilling and rewarding. If you are an aspiring teacher, apart from being well-read and competent, you will also need to imbibe strong leadership skills. This is one of the key requirements today as most schools in the country are grappling with issues pertaining to quality of learning and lack of leadership. Education experts believe that grooming strong leaders among teachers and school principals can have a positive impact on the performance of students. It is with this vision that the National Centre for School Leadership (NCSL) was set up last year under the aegis of National University of Education Planning and Administration (NUEPA), an organisation that deals in capacity building and research in planning and management of education.
To take forward its initiative of inculcating effective leadership programmes at the school level, NCSL recently launched the National Programme of School Leadership Development.
While the idea does seem appealing, implementation of such a programme is no cakewalk, admits Professor R Govinda, vice chancellor, NUEPA. "Reaching out to 1.5 million schools across the country is not an easy task," he says, "There is no one-size-fits-all strategy that can be applied across all schools; so, we are working on large-scale collaborations with organisations that have relevant experience in this aspect. One such partner is National College of Teaching and Leadership, Nottingham through the UK-India Education and Research Initiative."
NCSL has already started work on its leadership initiative in about ten states including Tamil Nadu and Rajasthan, to name a few. Govinda adds, "To implement the programme, we have state resource groups across the country. The framework has been put together based on data collected by over 400 members of our state resource groups." He adds that leadership development is a continuous process and it requires long-term engagement with schools. "We would like to focus on experiential learning and peer interactions too," he adds.
The scenario at a glance
The Annual Status of Education Report (ASER) 2013 states that the overall enrollment rate among children in the age group of six to 14 is 96%, while in private schools alone, it is 29%
As per the report, the proportion of schools that comply with pupil-teacher ratio norms laid down by RTE (Right To Education) has increased from 38.9% in 2010 to 45.3% in 2013
While teacher attendance in both primary and upper primary schools is 85%, student attendance shows a slight decline, especially in upper primary schools from 73.1% in 2012 to 71.8% in 2013

Why contraception rule is no gimmick
It is unfortunate that a federal regulation ensuring that Americans with private health insurance have access to contraception without the burden of a co-payment has unleashed a political maelstrom, including claims that President Barack Obama is waging a "war on religion." Reducing sensitive health care policy questions to a metaphorical crusade might make for good sound bites, but it distorts public understanding of an important issue. Let's revisit the facts obscured by this heated debate.
One important provision of the Affordable Care Act is a requirement that group health plans and health insurers completely cover various preventive services — including vaccinations and screening and counseling services. Congress adopted this since it leads to greater use of those services. This, in turn, results in better health and saves money — because avoidable conditions are prevented and treatable conditions detected earlier.
Story Continued Below
Insurance coverage of contraceptives is common in the United States. Twenty-eight states have laws that require health insurers cover contraceptives. Studies cited in the regulation found that more than 80 percent of insurers and large employers already do this. Several court decisions have held that an employer's failure to provide it is illegal sex discrimination.
Nonetheless, some religious groups, notably the Catholic Church, teach that contraception is wrong. These religious groups employ thousands of Americans and provide health benefits. So the federal agencies implementing the Affordable Care Act tried to reach an accommodation between the public health objective of increasing access to preventive services and the goal of protecting religious freedom.
The Obama administration's first response was to exclude "religious employers" from the contraceptive coverage requirement, defining the term to mean churches and their integrated auxiliaries, and associations and religious orders that inculcate religious values and primarily serve and employ people who share their beliefs.
This exception, however, didn't cover religious hospitals, universities or charities, some of which also objected. But these institutions often employ women who do not hold to their employer's religious beliefs. Excusing all these employers from compliance would deprive their workers of access to contraceptive services. Many religious leaders and heads of institutions objected to this tailoring.

By The Beauty Hub | September 18th, 2016 | Beauty Articles,News
Chloe Walsh regularly tends to the city's most style savvy ladies who entrust her with one of the most important cosmetic features on their face; their eyebrows. If you could use a little help to get your arches amazing, Chloe is your go-to Eyebrow Artist to give you a brow game as strong as Cara's.
We look at some of the top trending brows this season and why they are so popular providing a more youthful appearance.
The Full, Natural Brow
A thick, full brow a la Cara Delevingne is one of the trendiest and most in-demand styles that shows no sign of going away. A fuller brow can give a more youthful appearance and a softer, more timeless look. A thick, rectangular shape can lift the brow, almost like a Botox treatment, so long as the arch is in the right place. Brow expert Chloe has a wealth of experience and is able to determine the best shape for your face whilst maintaining a completely natural look.
The Bleached, Barely There Brow
Seen on the Givenchy runway were barely there brows with super dark eye shadow added to the eyes emphasising the area. Marc Jacobs also saw all of his models with their brows erased, and Kenzo bleached out brows and added white graphic eyeliner to add a different dynamic to the trend. This is one for the brave and can be achieved by having your brows completely bleached.
The Textured Brow
The textured brow is taking over against the perfectly groomed and defined brow, replacing it with a messier, more relaxed style that is groomed in the middle. Brows are brushed upwards to create this look and if you don't have much eyebrow hair, Chloe can help you gain some extra texture by adding tiny hair-strokes in the form of micro-blading, a semi permanent make up that is so natural you can't tell the difference.
Whatever your eyebrow preference Chloe has the skills and expertise to ensure your brow game is well and truly on. With a range of treatments tailored to your individual needs, including the ever-popular HD Brows, an eyebrow treatment where custom blended colour is applied, creating the perfect, bespoke arch for you. HD brows last for between 4-6 weeks.
Or if you are looking for a more permanent option, Chloe offers a semi-permanent treatment, lasting for up to 12/18 months. It is ideal for those with little or no eyebrows, those who have scars through their brow or anyone who wants their eyes 'lifted' without surgery. With her wealth of experience, Chloe is able to determine the best shape for your face shape, skin and hair colour and thus create a natural look. Using either a natural hair stroke effect, a soft powdered effect or a combination of both, Chloe will achieve a look that instantly lifts and places all emphasis on your eyes.
Not only is Chloe one of the best brow specialists in the business, she is also a qualified and experienced Cosmetic Permanent Make-up Artist, specialising in eyes and lips as well as eyebrows.
Prices start from AED1,200 for semi permanent make-up treatments.

Students Participate in International Crisis Simulation
Posted: April 26, 2000 at 1:00 am, Last Updated: November 30, -0001 at 12:00 am
Thirty George Mason undergraduates, together with students from more than 40 colleges and universities worldwide, have just completed the Atlantic Crisis Game, an international political simulation sponsored by the Atlantic Council of the United States. George Mason students played the role of the Netherlands in a fictional crisis centered in Kosovo, while other universities played the roles of other countries. The crisis game was conducted on the Internet and involved schools as far away as Athens, Greece; Helsinki, Finland; and Vladivostok, Russia.
The George Mason students were organized into teams that monitored developments around the clock and coordinated their actions through face-to-face meetings and chat rooms. Each team included students who represented the key government organizations in the Netherlands as well as individuals who specialize in particular countries and regions. The game controllers at the Atlantic Council announced new developments in the scenario and students had to develop responses ranging from deploying military forces to drafting United Nations resolutions.
"The students not only deepened their knowledge of international politics, but also enhanced their skills in research, communications, and teamwork," says Jim Barry, visiting associate professor in New Century College, who coordinated the course. Before the game began, students met with diplomats from the Dutch embassy to learn about the policies and political culture of the Netherlands, including its emphasis on consensus politics, international collaboration, and humanitarian values.
"Over the past four years I have taken a lot of leadership courses, but nothing has ever tested my ability as much as this simulation," says New Century College student Christina Hall, who is concentrating on environmental studies. "I learned a lot about group collaboration and international political strategy," says Jeffrey Meunier, a sophomore computer engineering major. "If all classes were like this one, I would never want to graduate from college."
Having completed the game, each student is writing an analytical paper that integrates the experience with the principles of his or her academic discipline.

Imagine, it's a lovely summer day and you just want to get out there. Of course, there are a ton of things you can do. Will it be a refreshing dip in the pool or a hike through the woods? A motorcycle trip or a picnic in the park? A beautiful phrase to describe this is: 'Life consists of making choices'. Plenty of opportunities, but personal preference prevails. This is similar to the process of selecting earbuds. What exactly are you looking for?
There are many types of hearing protection on sale for different situations. This is why you need to know what the earplugs will be used for. If you decide to go swimming on this lovely summer day, you need earplugs that keep the water out. But you if take a passenger on a motorcycle trip, you can choose between two types of earplugs: disposable or reusable ones. But you might be looking for specific characteristics.
Different characteristics
No ear is alike, so we will give you a summary of the various characteristics of earplugs:
- Coloured earplugs
The well-known yellow earplugs, often made out of foam, are very popular in general. But pink earplugs have recently become popular. Alpine offers red, white, black and silver grey earplugs.
- Soft earplugs
If you wear earplugs, you don't want them to be hard and annoying. Soft material is of course preferred. This is why you can choose for foam earplugs. Alpine has earplugs made from special thermoplastic material, AlpineThermoShape™, which feels very comfortable in your ear.
- Silicone earplugs
Some earplugs are made of silicone. Silicone earplugs are similar to the yellow plugs, but are much less soft and contain dyes. If you are allergic to silicone earplugs, you'd be wise to skip these.
- Invisible earplugs
There used to be a kind of taboo on wearing earplugs. Especially since they stuck out from the ear and were very visible. Today, earplugs are not quite invisible, but they better fit in the ear, making them a lot less noticeable. Nobody can offer you invisible earplugs, but it doesn't really matter these days. Earplugs are common.
With so much variety in earplugs, it is sometimes difficult to choose. But as with any product, you have desires and demands. Alpine offersdisposable, reusable and custom earplugs. There is something for everyone. So bring on those tropical summer days and make it a party!

I think the road to a positive bankroll is to pick your best 1-2 games. That said, I lost 4 units tailing someone by putting in all 6 of his plays (I would never blame that person.....it was my decision to tail and play that many games and tail to start with). I've alway felt that with proper handicapping in football, if you can pull out 1 - 2 that you have high confidence in, you're doing well. Nice job, and look forward to reading more from you. This stuff takes a lot of time, so appreciate your contribution!
This is one of the myths that I never understand. Obviously, if a person is playing every game on board, that would be a problem. Otherwise, why wouldn't he play them all if those games qualify under the criterias he set out?
Respectfully, you are missing my point. Case in point, a friend of mine has been making money betting NBA for last 7 years. He would have as many as 6-7 plays a night or as little as none. He manages to win so it doesn't make any sense why he should limit to a # of plays per night. There are different ways to skin a cat so to speak.

The Wall Street Journal: Software vendor Splunk saw its shares climb 109 percent on the first day of trading. That's the best debut for a technology IPO so far this year, besting Millennial Media's 92 percent surge on its first day of trading.
Part of the "big data" trend, Splunk's software harvests machine data--the log data from servers, switches and all other devices that connect to an enterprise's network--for analysis. The company has 3,700 customers, but has not yet turned a profit. It reported an $11 million loss for the fiscal year ended in January.

A mere 24 hours before the US (at least according to Jack Lew, who, as some of you may have known, is the Secretary of the Treasury of the United States of America) was going to run out of money and default on its obligations (the Lew-styled "catastrophe", which according to the great and the good would once again "bring the financial system to its knees" — how many MORE times are we going to have to listen to that, I wonder?), the S&P 500 was trading exactly 2.30% from its all-time high.
Sound like anybody was worried about financial Armageddon to you, dear reader? Not to me, either, but here's the thing:
The danger WAS very real, as a default by the US on its debt obligations would have gone to the very heart of the "plumbing" that underlies financial markets and caused havoc in the repo market and all kinds of problems with collateral (or at least, what little collateral is allowed amongst market participants once central banks have hoovered up their ever-expanding allotments).
The key clue passed most people by a week ago; but it came from, of all places, Hong Kong:
(FT): Hong Kong's stock exchange decided the possibility of a US default had made some types of short-term Treasury bonds more risky, prompting it to force traders using the securities as collateral to provide extra backstops....
It came as the Asia Securities Industry & Financial Markets Association (Asifma), which represents banks, brokers and asset managers in the region, warned that any announcement by the US Treasury in advance of a default must arrive before the opening of the day's trading in Asia to avoid "chaos".
Japan's clearing house, the Japan Securities Clearing Corporation (JSCC), said it was in "intensive discussions" to prepare for "anything that might happen".
Hong Kong Exchanges & Clearing (HKEx) said on Thursday it had taken two measures designed to reflect the increased difficulty of valuing certain short-term US Treasuries amid the debt impasse.
First, its clearing house would apply an increased "haircut" to its valuation of US Treasuries held as collateral against futures trades. For bonds held with maturity of less than one year, that would be raised from 1 per cent to 3 per cent, effective immediately, HKEx said in a circular to members.
"This new haircut shall be applied on a daily basis to determine the value of the US Treasuries allowed to be used as cover for the margin requirements of HKCC [Hong Kong Clearing Corporation] participants," HKEx said.
"Participants should make necessary funding arrangements to cover any shortfall to their margin requirements resulting from the increase in the US Treasuries haircut."
Anyone posting US Treasuries with less than a year to maturity as collateral, would need to come up with three times their current posted margin.
Not good. Not good at all. The amount of liquidity this would suck out of a fragile market would be catastrophic very bad indeed, and any forced selling on behalf of those unable to post the additional collateral would be a catastrophe major problem, leading to falling prices and spiking rates — neither of which are allowed anymore. Now, if HKEx's move had become fashionable around the world (and it's safe to say that exchanges are very much pack animals), it would have been quite bad a catastrophe.
After a very subdued reaction to the can being kicked down the road until February debt ceiling being agreed, something rather strange happened on Thursday. See if you can identify at what point in the day it occurred:
(I should point out that the yellow overlay of the gold price looks green where it sits on top of the blue DXY chart. There are only two variables in this chart, the yellow gold price and the blue US dollar price.)
Now, there was already a clue as to what this event was, hidden away in an earlier chart, but (cue drum roll) the catalyst for the dollar's sudden drop and the sharp spike in the price of gold waaaaaaaaaaaas... THIS:
(Reuters): Chinese rating agency Dagong has downgraded the United States to A- from A and maintained a negative outlook on the sovereign's credit.
The agency suggested that, while a default has been averted by a last minute agreement in Congress, the fundamental situation of debt growth outpacing fiscal income and GDP remains unchanged.
"Hence the government is still approaching the verge of default crisis, a situation that cannot be substantially alleviated in the foreseeable future," Dagong said in a press release.
Now those are the straight facts of the issue, but contained within the rest of what was a very short article are three fascinating sentences that speak to the very crux of the problem as things stand today. The first two constituted the very next paragraph:
(Reuters): Dagong's ratings are hardly followed outside of China. The agency also classifies most countries it follows very differently from major agencies such as Moody's, Standard & Poor's and Fitch.
Absolutely correct. Dagong's ratings are seen as something of a joke and very much inferior in nature to the Big Three — a poor man's Egan Jones, if you will.
...So here's where we get to the nub (finally!) of this week's philosophical wanderings.
The question I posed, all those charts ago, was this:
If something bad happens, but nobody reacts badly to it, did nothing bad happen?
Well, with each successfully navigated new crisis, the reaction of the market the next time a crisis flares up becomes more muted. We've seen the spectre of a Lehman-style collapse dealt with, and now the phrase "... could bring the global financial system to its knees..." is shrugged off with alacrity.
We've seen the spectre of a European fracture, a Grexit, a Spexit, and the end of the euro taken off the table by determined governments and central bankers; and now, each fresh outbreak of the European crisis is greeted with apathy and ennui. (I wonder if the French have a word for that.)
And now we've seen the extent of the reaction to the US debt-ceiling debacle the second time around. I would describe it as "quizzical interest" at best.
Because the Nannycrats are continually telling us that everything will be OK, that we shouldn't worry about things and ought instead to just Keep Calm and Carry On.
How bad has it gotten? Well, amidst the "hoo-ha on the Hill" recently, we saw one of the most bizarre things I've witnessed during the mayhem of recent years: Barack Obama's telling Wall Street that they SHOULD worry
Barack, let me explain something to you.
The reason Wall Street WASN'T worrying is that you and Bernanke and Geithner and Paulson (not you, John — Hank) and Yellen and the rest of the Crazy Crew have gone out of your way for five years to make absolutely certain that nothing bad ever happens again. Ever. Why the hell WOULD they worry?
It's YOUR fault that they're not. You just can't have it both ways.
That's what moral hazard looks like, I'm afraid...

Hop Howler IPA
**Available on draft and 12oz six-packs**
The Evil Thirst has been roving on a drought-ridden planet far away from Earth's bounties, knowing for survival he must set forth on a long journey in hopes of quenching his endless need for refreshment. However, upon arrival on our fair planet, the villain quickly realizes the initial allure to the blue orb – H2O – will not truly satisfy his yearning. Maddened by his dehydration, he is driven to violent destruction, but soon gets even more than he reckoned for when the mighty Hop Howler emerges uproarious amidst the fertile, green landscape. Not only will the evildoer's thirst be eternally extinguished, but it will also be satiated with voluminous amounts of aromatic, dank and resinous hops. Hop bombs of flavor from Citra, El Dorado, Jarrylo and Pacific Gem are hurled relentlessly, and explode in bursts to coat Evil Thirst's alien tongue, rendering him harmless in a state of euphoria. Crisis averted, peace is restored throughout the Universe, as our vociferous hero Hop Howler sounds off one last time with a bellowing cry, offering assurance that all, good or evil, shall never go thirsty again.

Give me a "G"
Last month we discussed the M in the GMC equation. This month let's take a closer look at goals. Every character needs them. And in romance they generally need both internal and external goals. I hate to say they MUST have both because there is always an exception to the rule, so let's just say that it's in your best interest to have both.
Goals – what are they? Basically what your character wants. Often writers will have their characters goals be to maintain the status quo – this isn't necessarily wrong, but is it strong enough to maintain an entire book? And won't it be a futile goal when our heroine learns in chapter one that the status quo is gone. I've seen this a lot in contest entries, specifically with historicals where our heroine is expected to marry and she simply wants to remain the rebellious girl she's always been. Riding her horses with her hair whipping in the wind and tending her garden or writing her novels or whatever it is she wants to maintain. So if we take a closer look at this we see that our heroine wants independence to do what she wants, but freedom isn't a tactile thing and while this might work for our internal goal for our external goal we should strive for something more concrete.
What about that garden she loves? What if she's been working on cross-breeding roses since she was a young girl and if she marries she'll have to leave her precious garden and resign herself to a life of parties and needlepoint. This will never do. So our heroine doesn't just want to maintain the status quo, more specifically, she wants to complete her cross-breeding of her roses. This is concrete and a worthy goal.
What about our heroine from last month who wanted to buy those pink shoes? More than likely this heroine doesn't consciously think, "I want those shoes because Grandma had some just like them and she loved me and if I own them then I'll feel that love again." That would be awkward and clunky and let's face it, if your heroine is that in touch with her emotional needs, then she's probably has no internal conflict at all. So instead she thinks she wants those shoes simply because they remind her of her grandmother and she remembers always liking them. But as readers we know that while this is a tactile goal, what our heroine really wants is for someone to love her and give her security. That's her internal goal and she's going about satisfying it in the wrong way. This is a common mistake for our characters and one that usually takes an entire book to figure out.
The trick for creating strong and believable goals is to make them specific to your character and their situation. If you can plug any goal in then you haven't done your job.

Looking for sex tonight, need to get laid; well the way to go is through adult dating sites. There are thousands of these kinds of dating sites online which you can join, but only a few are really worth the money you pay for joining.

I'm a member of three of the best adult dating websites online today, and when I'm looking for sex with someone new, I will log into one of these sites and start searching for someone in my area to meet up with for sex, nine times out of ten I will find someone quite quick.
The way they work is simple, you join for free, then pay to become a premium member and start searching for someone to have sex with, people will email you, and you can email other members who you think you would like to meet with.
You can also chat to other members via webcam to arrange dates or just to have fun chatting to someone new who are not interested in a long term relationship like yourself.
Looking for sex, try adult dating sites
When you're looking for sex, adult dating sites are the best place to find like minded people who just want to meet up for a bit of fun and nothing serious.
There are usually thousands if not millions of members on adult dating sites, so you have a great chance of finding someone to meet up for sex with very quickly, when I first joined one of these sites, I met up with a lady who lived ten miles away from me, and I still meet up with her from time to time.
I sent out 25 emails and had four replies back within the first six hours of joining, I decided to meet the woman who lived ten miles away first, to save on travelling cost, but since then I have met countless women from these sites, and tend to travel up to 100 miles away if needed.
Looking for sex, try SocialSex
So if you're looking for sex tonight, I can highly recommend SocialSex, in my opinion it is the biggest and best adult dating site online today, and I get far more dates from this site than any other.

Another great thing about adult dating sites is the members cam to cam room and messaging room, I've spent countless hours in these just chatting to woman who just wanna get laid. Here they tend to hang out for the fun of it, and most of the time they are all pretty much naked except for a well placed towle or dressing gown. But once you start chatting and they get to know you better the towel usually drops to the floor and the fun chatting starts.
I still love going onto my computer turning my desktop on and looking to see who's online, I've made a lot of friends through this site, nothing to major just friends I can chat to online when I'm bored, not the sort of friends you meet up with every week for beers, but just good online chatting friends.
So thank you for visiting my Looking For Sex blog, and in the coming weeks and months I will be writing about many different things related to the adult dating scene, so please bookmark this site and call back soon to see the latest updates.

Potential Winter Classic 2013 Alumni Game Roster
The NHL has a major announcement tomorrow taking place at Commerica Park in Detroit and also at Michigan Stadium, also known as the Big House. I wonder what it could be about?
Obviously, the Winter Classic is coming to Detroit. The Toronto Maple Leafs are 99.9% the opponent for the January 1st tilt and the game will most definitely sell out and set a record for NHL attendance in one game.
There are a lot of people I know that are planning on going to the actual Winter Classic at the Big House to sit 500 feet away from the action in cramped seats and a blizzard. No thanks, I'll watch at home. The game that I would really want to see is the Alumni Game at Commerica Park.
My selling point is if they got Steve Yzerman to come back and wear the Winged Wheel again. It's a longshot as he's the GM of Tampa Bay, but we can all hope.
Here are some of the palyers I think will grace the ice the day before the Winter Classic.
19. Steve Yzerman
11. Shawn Burr
13. Slava Kozlov
8. Igor Larionov
25. John Ogrodnick
20. Mickey Redmond
17. Doug Brown
18. Mike Krushelnyski
25. Darren McCarty
33. Kris Draper
18. Kirk Maltby
22. Dino Ciccarelli
26. Joe Kocur
55. Larry Murphy
23. Lee Norwood
15. Jason Woolley
28. Steve Duchesne
28. Brian Rafalski
2. Slava Fetisov
2. Ulf Samuelsson
30. Chris Osgood
32. Tim Cheveldae
For good measure, put Gordie Howe, Ted Lindsay, Vladimir Konstantinov, Sergei Mnatsakanovv and Jiri Fischer behind the bench
There's obviously a bunch more, but this is a roster I would pay to go see.
Who do you think should be a part of the Alumni Game?

What about Chelios and Shanahan? I don't think it's out of the question at all for Yzerman to play.

I bet he'll think about it. Draper said he was going to keep bugging him about it

I'd love to see Vernon and Dom join Ozzy in the net while adding a pairing of Howe and Coffey to the blue line... While I'm at it, why not add Hull and Fedorov to the mix... It's fun to think about. Fedorov likely wouldn't play, Dom is identified as a Sabre and Howe, Coffey, and Hull all had only brief stints in Detroit. Out of the plethora of greats that have come through Detroit, it'll be interesting to see who gets the nod.
While some of the names may not be as flashy, I hope the current Alumni roster gets to be involved. Those guys have done a ton of charity work in the community and I'd hate to see them get snubbed.
Now, let's go steal Wendel Clark from the Leaf's lineup...

It is fresh challenge and Yuvraj Singh is relishing it.
The 29-year-old, fresh from his exploits at the ICC World Cup where he won the Player of the Series award for his significant contribution in Team India's triumph, has settled down in his new role as the captain of the Pune Warriors.
"I feel good and take a lot of pride in that," said Yuvi, when asked about his new role.
"It is a lot of responsibility also when you are captaining 11 players, a few of whom are top players," he added.
Yuvraj had captained the Kings XI Punjab outfit in the first two editions of the tournament, leading them to the last four in the inaugural season. However, he had been relieved off his duties for the third edition, Kumar Sangakkara replacing him at the helm of the Mohali team.
The fourth edition of tournament though witnessed two changes as regards the player. Yuvraj was part of a new team, the Pune Warriors. And he was back as a captain.
To his credit, the 29-year-old led the debutants to comfortable wins in their two opening games --against Kings XI and fellow debutants Kochi Tuskers Kerala respectively.
However, the Pune side has followed up the two wins with two losses. The Warriors were beaten at home (DY Patil stadium) by Delhi Daredevils on Sunday, despite a magnificent unbeaten 66 by their captain.
And on Wednesday, they lost an away game to last year's beaten finalists, Mumbai Indians. Yuvraj remained unperturbed with the twin defeats though.
"The last game (against Mumbai) was for the first time in four games that we did not perform," he explained, adding, "In all the three earlier games we had played well.
"Against Mumbai, we just didn't play to our potential." The captain was quick to negate any negativity that might have risen following the twin defeats.
"We made a match of it despite putting up just 118 runs on board against Mumbai Indians," said Yuvraj.
"Despite not scoring enough runs and not taking early wickets, we still didn't let them score their big shots and ensured the match went to the last delivery. I am proud of the way the team played and gave the crowd some anxious moments, rather a value for their money." Yuvraj added, saying, he wasn't bothered with the team he had at his disposal.
"There's no problem with my team and I am confident that we'll do well," he said.
The captain of the Pune Warriors seemed very confident about his team's chances in the tournament and said they will spare no efforts in making their debut season a memorable one.
"T20 is a very unpredictable format," said Yuvraj, adding, "The matches can go either way.
"We won two games, and lost two. If we win our next two, we might again be on top.
"It's depends on how you look at it. In any case, you need to back your instincts."
His form in the World Cup should give him enough confidence to perform his role as a player and a leader to optimum and ensure his new side a good beginning.
And, as we said in the beginning, he is already enjoying being the captain again.
