Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson found the big and speedy wide receiver he needed for his offense when Starr's Mill High's Jeff Greene committed to the Yellow Jackets.
The 6-foot-6, 200-pound Greene picked Georgia Tech over Duke, Mississippi State, South Florida, Cincinnati, East Carolina and Middle Tennessee State. Greene is commitment No. 10 for Tech's 2011 football recruiting class.
"I met with Coach Johnson for about an hour, and we talked about the recruiting process, how kids have until Feb. 2 to sign," Greene said. "However, with Georgia Tech, it's first-come, first-serve with the scholarships. I didn't want to pass up on a good opportunity so I committed on the spot after being offered."
"I'm excited about Georgia Tech. Coach Johnson is a winner, and has won everywhere he has coached. Georgia Tech has great academics, and a college degree from there will help you after football. And it's close to home, which will allow my friends

Don't fret! Check out these suggested similar and related items below. Happy shopping!
Monkey Bars Prebiotic Banana Peanut Butter Chocolate Chewy Granola Bar - 5 x 1.2 oz. BarsGreat tasting, amazing health credentials, and cool packaging.What kid doesn't want to eat a granola bar with a big cartoon monkey face on it? Monkey Bars are real food that have no preservatives or additives and no high fructose corn syrup.
How It WorksEvery serving of Monkey Bars has one gram of NutraFlora, a prebiotic fiber that is derived from evaporated cane sugar. NutraFlora, which is also referred to as fructooligosaccharides, does not raise blood glucose, and supports the growth of helpful bacteria in the digestive system such as Bifidobacteria. The non-scientific description could be: NutraFlora is food for your tummy!
The best part: your kids will actually be asking for something that provides excellent fundamental nutrition. That's the true innovation: Monkey Brains and Monkey Bars make it fun to eat healthy.100% NaturalNutraFlora is 100% natural. The fiber in NutraFlora also occurs naturally in vegetables like onions, asparagus, and garlic. Instead of eating Monkey Bars, you could always just eat more onions and garlic. Not only will your tummy thank you for eating Monkey Bars, but your friends will too!
Digestive HealthPrebiotic Fiber explained:
Monkey Bars and Monkey Brains contain a prebiotic fiber that improves digestive health by helping regulate the balance of friendly bacteria that already exists in the digestive system. The reason it is called "pre" biotic fiber is because it feeds your existing "pro"biotic fiber. The non-scientific description is that prebiotic fiber is food for your tummy.
Frequently Asked QuestionsQ: What is NutraFlora?A: Bullet points for this one:
Q: Is Monkey Brains owned by a bigger company?A: Nope. Monkey Brains is a private company. The "official" company name is Shrky LLC.
Q: How did they come up with the name Monkey Brains?A: It really came from the question: "How do we get kids to eat something healthy?" The technical brainstorming term for this is called "white-space." In essence, they tried to figure out a brand name and a type of product that would fill the white-space that no other company was occupying. There are lots of products out there that are healthy, and lots of products that kids will eat; there aren't really any brands that are both fun and truly healthy.
About Monkey BrainsSo, what are Monkey Brains and Monkey Bars you ask? Well, for starters, they're "for kids and immature adults." Yes … they saw you coming a mile away.
Otherwise, Monkey Bars and Monkey Brains are 100% natural: no additives, no preservatives, no high fructose corn syrup. You'll love how clean their ingredients lists are!!
The simple concept behind Monkey Bars is to make it fun (and taste good) to eat healthy! Adults love how each bar has 4g of protein and 3g of fiber, and each bowl of oatmeal has 4g of protein and 4g of fiber — true fundamental nutrition! Athletes love how Monkey Bars' slow burning carbs provide long lasting energy for a practice, game or work-out. And kids…well, they love the cartoon monkey!
Every Monkey Bar contains 1g of prebiotic fiber which helps improve digestive health.
Other Ingredients: Chewy Granola (Whole Grain Rolled Oats, Peanuts, and Roasted Soybeans), Brown Rice Syrup, Super Monkey Power Fruit Blend (Dates, Bananas), Milk Chocolate Flavored Coating (Evaporated Cane Juice, Palm Kernel Oil, Nonfat Dry Milk, Cocoa, Soy Lecithin and Vanilla), Brown Rice Flour, Peanut Flour, Fructan (NutraFlora™), Cocoa, Maltodextrin, Natural Flavors, Sugar, Salt.
Contains Peanut, Soy, and Milk Ingrediets.

So far so good
By Benisaud
from Seattle, WA
My Garmin said it was 38 degrees on today's two and a half hour ride and hands were nice and warm. However, I only gave 4 stars (instead of 5) because I can't comment regarding water resistance. I haven't done a "soaker" ride with them yet.

Decent, but no panacea
By npm
from Washington, DC
The description said the gloves would keep "fingers toasty." They didn't. On one hand, they are the warmest biking gloves I've ever owned. The fabric is comfortable and they are thick but not so bulky as to make handling and braking difficuly. On the other hand, my fingers still got painfully cold after only about 5 minutes in 20-30 degree (F) weather. I do tend to have poor circulation and my brief ride doesn't give me time to warm up, so others are likely to have a bit better experience.
Fantastically Warm!
By Brent the Buddhist
from West Michigan
About Me Casual/ Recreational
Purchased the gloves for winter training. I've been wearing them outside, to work, out on the frozen lake.
Doesn't Live Up to its Description
By Gringoalto
I have a 16 mile commute to work that takes me 70 minutes. Today I wore them for the first time. It was 29oF, and about 30 minutes into my commute my fingers were uncomfortable. After 70 minutes my fingers were numb. If you have a short commute they might work, or if the temperature is in the 30s, but I would not recommend them for temperatures in the 20s.
Decent glove
By Velo vortex
from KS
I have only worn these a few times, but they have kept my digits warm in 40 degree/30 wind chills (Thinsulate). Like most gloves, they fit my index finger great but are a little long in the thumb & shorter fingers. I don't think these would be great for very aggressive riding as grip & precise shifting control may be compromised. They are thick & the grips that "keep you locked into the bike" are the minimal printing you can see on the palm & 1st 3 digits. From what I can see, these provide no clear advantage over a decent pair of ski gloves you may already have in the closet; comparing bulk (only slightly less), finger movement, grip & warmth. They do not appear to have any water resistance, but that is untested.

Satisfactory value
By Benjie
from Memphis, TN
It is comparable to many cycling or equivalent gloves which cost much more. For me personally, it is good for temperatures >35 degrees F. Below this temperature, the hands become numb after a few miles. I do tend to get cold hands quickly however compared to many other cyclists. Barr Mitts are the best passive product that I have found. These gloves are nice to have around for certain temperature ranges.
Good Value-Fit is Small
By Bikerphil
from Tucson, AZ
About Me Competitive Cyclist
These gloves are as good as my Pearl Izumi winter gloves (wore out after 10 years) which are good down to freezing. I assumed the fit was small so I ordered an XXL which compares to a more regular XL and they fit like a, well you know, a glove....not the OJ Simpson variety. My hand is 8 in long (heel to tip of middle finger) and 10 inches around the widest part excluding thumb.

CPD Announcements
Curious about what we have been doing? You can download the CPD annual reports below:
The CPD
The Center for Public Deliberation (CPD) was founded in August of 2006 within the Communication Studies Department at Colorado State University, and serves as an affiliate of the National Issues Forum (NIF) network and a member of the University Network for Collaborative Governance (UNCG).
The CPD is non-partisan. Working from a communication perspective, CPD staff and students focus on the process of deliberation and community problem-solving, not necessarily its product. Deliberation requires safe places for citizens to come together, good and fair information to help structure the conversation, and skilled facilitators to guide the process. The Center is dedicated to providing these three key ingredients to Northern Colorado.
The CPD has three broad goals:
The director of the CPD is Martin Carcasson, associate professor in the CSU Department of Communication Studies. Leah Sprain serves as the Associate Director. They are assisted by an advisory board consisting of community leaders, including representatives from the City of Fort Collins, Poudre School District, the Coloradoan, and various campus institutions such as the Student Leadership and Civic Engagement office and the departments of Political Science and Journalism & Technical Communication. The primary work of the CPD is completed by a core group of especially selected CSU undergraduates who commit to serve as "Student Associates" for two semesters, during which they receive class credit.
To be added to the CPD Event Notification Email List, contact Martin Carcasson at firstname.lastname@example.com

Já falei aqui sobre a incrível história de amor de Jan White. Na ocasião, ele havia dito que enviaria a história completa. E cumpriu a promessa.
Abaixo você encontra a mensagem que Jan enviou aos filhos, relatando o reencontro com a ex-namorada, 60 anos depois. Desisti de traduzir o texto, perde completamente a graça. Mas me dei o direito de inserir alguns links.
16 de junho de 2011
Encontro de 60 anos da turma da Universidade Cornell
Boys! This is about last weekend — nothing new in it, so please put off reading it till you have time and inclination and nothing better to get done. It is another one of those damn long letters from your father.
Last thing I wanted to do was to go back there again — after 60 years? Come on! Sing songs I didn't know and wear red beanie-hats or some such foolishness because of Class spirit and all that? Obviously we'd have some identification button with our name on it draped around our neck on a red ribbon… oh Gawd!
How many people would show up, anyway? Of the 2500 how many are left? Besides my college only had a few dozen — the elite, of course! If it hadn't been for Steve, I would have skipped it, but he made me promise and he was organizer-in-chief, so I didn't want to disappoint him.
I was going to drive (taking it easy) but Christopher persuaded me to take a bus whose existence he discoverd on the internet (it would never have occurred to me!): a campus-to-campus link leaving from the Club on 44th Street next to Grand Central Terminal. Easy! OK. $150 round trip — within reason. The very word "campus" makes me feel silly. I reserved a room in the dormitory, forgetting I wouldn't have a private john, which created dressing-complexities at night but it was in a dorm donated by a classmate, hence we of the Class of 1951 were all in there. Hoorah!
Oh my God! Exactly as in a retirement home, here were a battalion of slow-moving oldsters with sticks. One or two with walkers. Several little craft-things with wheels and broadly grinning passengers with silly hats on, festooned in red badges. Jeezuss Keyrist, stop bulshitting and move damnit and get into the goddam elevator for crissakes! But that all came later. After I got there.
Time out: As you may surmise, I had had several girlfriends before I met Ruth (Jan's first wife) , which is usually where Family History begins (besides my old childhood Czech and refugee sagas). Also London ones. Girls? excellent memories! Ha! But now previous true secrets must be revealed to you. A most delightful and quite serious one such girlfriend was Sue, (officially, Suzanne) whom I met in sculpture class and it blossomed into a very pleasant happy time, the way it is supposed to be at that tender idiotic age where you think you're all grown wise and adult.
Ha, yet again! She lived in luxury and safety in the womens' dormitory, as all "bobbysoxers" had to at that restricted time. I was lucky enough to be a senior and then a 5th year senior in architecture, so I could "officially" live" in a cheap hovel off-campus. It was a poor thing but mine own.
It was a simple sun-porch. No heating. Ideal for freezing in an Ithaca winter, but since I rented it in the summer, I didn't think ahead, same as I didn't think about the non-john in my dorm room when I reserved it last month. As you know, Ithaca is in the snow-belt. Anyway, we Sue and I had a lot of fun that made the last year up there terrific. She also helped me on my Gambling Casino thesis and that splendid relationship continued a few months after we graduated, but then it slowly disintegrated for who knows what reason. Lost touch. Completely. I knew she had married a cardiologist on Long Island but never knew or probably forgot his name. She went on to Columbia as I did to get my MS. In my part-time job at the Architectural Forum magazine I got ready for the army, then I met Ruth there…
So all that ancient history was utterly forgotten, but this Reunion nonsense came up and this lacuna of my curiosity about "whatever happened to Sue I wonder" got the better of me. Hmmm. So I wrote a letter to the Univ. (Mike got me the correct address) asking them to pass my letter on to her, whoever she had become and wherever she might be found on their alumni lists. No answer from them, also no answer from her, of course. OK, too bad, must be dead by now or in a wheelchair or something… that's the way things go in life. And I put my curiosity away and that was that. No problem. Basta.
OK, back to the story: Train to New York, and then I had an hour to spend before the bus at 12:30. So I went to the bar at the top of the stairs leading out to Vanderbilt Avenue in GCT (I know it has a name but who remembers it? Some boxer or something.) Ordered a nice salad and coffee and had the luxurious balcony to myself to meditate on how the world had changed for the better since the first time I knew Grand Central Terminal… when I worked in the architects' office on Park and 40th a couple of blocks away… what a privilege to live in the US! I wallowed in satisfaction — also brought on by the perspective of the 60th, of course. It is such a luxury to consider Before and after (if you are lucky enough!). The bus ride was luxuriously splendid, four comfy hours plugged into my i-pod. Boy am I ever with-it. Went through the Lincoln Tunnel and emptied out onto those wigglywiggly curves on the NJ side — hadn't been there for a good forty years — used to drive there from Washington in my little red MG to visit Ruth when I was in the army, dear God, nothing has changed! OK, bus:
Got dropped off on campus, as the brochure promised and now what? Where the hell am I? This isn't the 1890s Campus that I know — it is somewhere on a hill where the stinking cows used to be in the Agriculture school I think, way up there on the way to Canada or something. Absolutely no recognizable landmarks. Just an enormous empty parking lot. Slight drizzle. Dragging the trundler-case and wielding my stick with a heavy shoulder bag is trickier than you think. The goddam trundler keeps turning over. Cars whizzing by without stopping, inoring to lend a hand to an obviously struggling elderly gent… but a bunch of scruffy children (i.e., graduate students) way over there who might possibly know where Hanes Hall is. Well, one of them thought it might be over there beyond the next two monster buildings on the "meadow". I spied a corner of a tent, so figured the kid might be right, and thankfully he was. Vaguely. It required scaling dampish grassy knolls that are remarkably unfriendly to my trundler, stick, and shoulderbag balancing act.
Checked in, got my key (what a job it was to get it to open the door), went peepee (at last), put on my bow tie, and made it to the bus to the big-deal formal dinner for our class that is being held in the stately classy self-important Hall with flags and portraits around it. Its impression is a bit less classy because you have to get a stupid ticket… oh well. So far I didn't know a single soul, recognized no names, and was running out of witty generalizations of small talk about the vicissitudes of aging. What am I going to do with with a day and a half to go? It was very depressing in every way. Then to climb up the endless stairs to the sort of registration desk where they gave you your déclassé ticket… and then over through the hallway to the cocktail area… and "Hello Jan" — oh my God, who is that standing there with a broad grin on her face? I was so unprepared that for a moment I didn't recognize her. (I thought she was dead). Then that smile and the familiar voice just flattened me. Not literally — I pride myself on my gentlemanly sang-froid. Metaphorically. Good heavens! She said she had no idea that I was coming, but was ready to welcome me if I did and stood at the door just in case and there I was.
Making a long, heartwarming story short: we spent all the next two days'-worth catching up on 60 years'-worth of facts, insights, understandings, explanations. The ancient goodwill of ancient times just completely resurrected in a second. Amazing. The years have taken their toll on her just as they have on me I suppose. Inside, I am not worse than 35 though). My God she's gotta be 81. But the happy character and the smile and what all I remember of a 22 year old girl is unchangeable. A delight.
Yes she is married to a Long Island cardiologist (who had all sorts of wise papers published — I looked him up on Google), who couldn't come because he is not very mobile any more (tell me about that!). He also had a quadruple bypass, poor devil. They have an apartment behind in Manhattan and a house in California where two of their three kids live, so they coast-hop. She told me that her parents were dead set against her carrying on with me because I was not an American. True, I wasn't one till I became one officially in my uniform in Washington in the Army. To foster our separation was why they sent her for a a 3-week trip to Europe after we graduated, and she maintains that I drove up to Quebec or some place on the St. Lawrence in Canada to pick her up and drive her home to Long Island. I, alas, have absolutely no memory of that, which is weird because that is quite an Act and one ought to remember. Oh, who knows? Or cares.
It was so long ago — yet it was like yesterday when we were talking about it. It was so intimate. Extraordinarily valuable — like an old stone that is newly polished and it sparkles (even though it remains the same old stone). I promised to send her my book just for fun. It turned into a marvelous weekend and I was spared having to small-talk with people I didn't know or particularly cared to know.
So then Sunday AM she went off in her bus, and I had to wait two hours for mine to leave, but they ferried me to that stop north in Canada in a jitney, so I avoided the trundler struggle. Sat in the bus listening to good music probably with a stupid grin on my face. So that's the end of the story. Amazingly happy.
Attached are PDFs which I hope you can open (Jan se refere às fotos publicadas neste post). The ridiculous freezing sun porch is totally unchanged in 60 years. Just better painted. And you must also realize that I am equally unchanged from that young buck, though I gave up the pipe, and my fashionable very long chain with awards on it. When I got to Architectural Forum magazine, that very first day of my first real job there, I wore my chain with the silly things dangling off it and nobody, but not a soul, made comment. That was the last time I ever had them visible. They have been attached to the elegant Cartier gold chain my dear Clare gave me in 1962 and I always wear it on my dinner jacket waistcoat (except the honorary keys are discreetly hidded into the pocket). Yes, OK, I admit to being ridiculously sentimental. Sometimes being sentimental pays off with happiness.
Love, D

Read the Q&A below to see what Malcolm and Tony say about music, their time as teens, what they've done to woo girls, touring with Emblem3 and more!
First off, do you remember your first meeting?
Malcolm David Kelley: Yeah, we were testing for this TeenNick show [Gigantic]. We auditioned together; played best friends on the show. So it was just, like, first meeting each other and we were playing best friends in a room full of executive producers and whatnot, so it was pretty crazy.
Tony Oller: [To Malcolm] Your mom was there. She was a sweetheart. I remember meeting her. It's crazy; it's been, like, four years.
What made you decide to become a musical duo?
Tony: I don't know if we ever planned on being a duo. We just had a lot of passion for just making music. It was just fun for us. It's just something we'd do every day after filming; we'd come home and we'd record, hope for the best and put it up on YouTube. Everyone started responding being like, 'You guys should go on tour. You guys should do an album.' [So we started thinking] more professionally about this and wanted to explore that world, which is a different world for us than acting. It kind of just organically came about, and here we are.
For those who may not know, how would you describe your sound?
Malcolm: We kind of got the feel for the whole sound by B.o.B. [and] Hayley Williams' "Airplanes." So it's like the rapping and the singing; mixing the pop with the hip hop and R&B. You get a lot of diverse music on our album, so it's pretty cool.
Your first single, "Thank You," is really a shout-out to all the misfit kids and total outcasts out there. Do you think it would've been about that if your initials didn't make up MKTO?
Tony: Yeah, I think each song we always do is kind of a story. It just so happened to be that that song came about really fast and had a very sarcastic message to it, which we enjoyed because I believe in this time and era [that] sarcasm is the greatest form of flattery in a way. So I mean, if our initials weren't — who knows? It would've been one of the songs on the album that's for sure.
Were you misfits/outcasts in high school?
Tony: Me, I was teased my whole entire high school career, mainly for just being on a little Disney show [As the Bell Rings], just getting a lot of that. Then being from Texas, acting or music isn't really a thing to do. I had my share of issues, but now, it's something that's made me who I am and no complaints.
Malcolm: We're not afraid to do whatever; whatever you feel like doing, who cares what other people think or if it's cool? Be different.
"Classic" is quite different than "Thank You." Was it written based on your personal experiences?
Tony: That song's actually a song that our — because there were a couple songs before we came to this project that were already done by our producers that we originally signed to, Iman and Evan. That was a song that they came to us about. I don't think they had all the lyrics down, but they kind of had a mindset of where they wanted to go with it. We heard it and we just immediately loved it. It's diverse; I think each song should be so much different; it shouldn't be too similar. Some people do a theme, but we wanted to do all different stuff.
Malcolm: People older than us can relate to it, so it's a pretty good song. Feels good.
"Four dozen roses // Anything for you to notice" — very romantic lyrics. How far have you gone to get a girl to notice you?
Malcolm: [To Tony] You've played the singing card a couple times.
Tony: Absolutely, it's all I've got! What am I supposed to do? Let me reenact Shakespeare for you. :laughs: No.
Was it stuff that you've written or…?
Malcolm: Whatever. Both, I've heard him do both. I'm gonna put him on blast. :laughs:
Are you usually there when this happens??
Both: We live together!
Tony: It's the only thing I've got. You've gotta use it.
Malcolm: I don't know. I haven't tried the piano joint yet. The [furthest] thing — it has to come at the right time; it just has to be unexpected.
You joined Emblem3 for a few tour dates this past summer. Which one's your favorite?
Tony: Oh man, they're all awesome. It was just a good experience to be on that tour. We're both share the same management, same label, so they're our brothers and we wish them the best. We did our first show together, so it was kind of a growing experience for all of us. We enjoyed it.
You guys have garnered a lot of international success. What are the fans like in the various countries you've been to?
Tony: A little more hectic [outside the U.S.].
Malcolm: Yeah, I think so.
Tony: Which is cool because it's something we've always dreamed of; the fact that we could on the other side of the world and then we get to the next. Yeah, it's different. We're just excited about getting our music out here in the States. This is our hometown; our homeland.
Malcolm: Support here would be great, but we understand that it takes work and time, so we'll ride it out.
@slothype wants to know when you're going to do a song with Demi Lovato.
Malcolm: Hey, Dem.
Tony: We'll see. There could be stuff already in the works for that.
I know that Ne-Yo's supposed to be on your album. Can you talk about that collaboration?
Malcolm: It's called "Could Be Me." It has a club feel to it. Ne-Yo's a great writer; a great artist, so being in the studio with him, our producers worked it out. It was just cool seeing him do his thing. It's a great song; it feels really good. I can't wait for you guys to hear it.
Are there any other collabs you'd love to do?
Tony: I don't even wanna say anything. Because it could be [with] the most random person and it could turn out awesome. So I think collabing with the people that would be least expected would be the coolest.
I think the first time I heard you (Tony) sing was when you covered Adele's "Someone Like You." But recently, you guys covered Drake's "Just Hold On, We're Going Home." Very different genres there. Is there any style of music that you're just not into?
Tony: I don't consider a person a musician if they have a certain wheelhouse. I love country; I'm gonna do a country solo album at one point just 'cause. I'm a big fan of Keith Urban, Trace Adkins, Rascal Flatts, even though that's more pop. I grew up on country. Garth Brooks… Any type of music we can do. Reggae… Who knows?
Malcolm: Who cares?
Are we going to hear all of that on the album?
Malcolm: We don't want to get too crazy on the first album.
Tony: I think it's got really pop-y songs; I think it's got really good ballads; I think it's got really good, like, he [pointing to Malcolm] has a solo song on there called "Nowhere" that's very R&B and rap and really cool. I think everything's really different.
Let's talk about tattoos.
Tony: I knew you were looking at the tattoos.
Well, you came in and were like scratching them. [To Malcolm] Do you have any?
Malcolm: No. It's just personal. I don't like the needles.
[To Tony] What are yours based on?
Tony I think each one of them has a story. They're all in different spots. I have a good amount, but each one has a story.
This one guy has 21 Miley Cyrus tattoos.
Tony: Wow. Well, I did see the one Miley Cyrus tattoo [where she's] animated on a wrecking ball.
Before our mini game, what are your plans for Halloween?
Malcolm: We don't know, but just in case, I have a nice little bear outfit that I just got. It's pretty cool. Big jacket with a bear on top.
Tony: I don't really go out often. I'll probably be playing some video games; might be making some music. I'm more of a Christmas guy; excited for Christmas.
What video games are you guys playing right now?
Both: Grand Theft Auto!

The Radar Online site lists a number of new details about country star Carrie Underwood's wedding to pro hockey player Mike Fisher, happening this weekend at the Ritz Carlton, Reynolds Plantation a little more than an hour east of Atlanta.
The event's supposed price tag hits the half-million mark, for example, and Underwood is expected to arrive by helicopter today. Because the Underwood-Fisher wedding has booked the entire resort, guests who had been staying there were gently asked to vacate by noon today. The Radar site posted a photo of the elegantly worded letter to guests politely requesting that they scram.
A source told the AJC that Underwood was on site this week, scoping the place out, and we hear that when selecting a makeup artist, the performer stated a preference for using her own products. Another source spotted the wedding entourage arriving. Here's a link to our previous coverage. The AJC's American Idol blog also has been reporting on the wedding. Here's a link to that blog.
Star gazers are likely out of luck. We hear you need a special pass to enter the property this weekend, and that waterways surrounding the resort will be closed.
Because of the heat much of the weekend's activities are expected to take place inside, but a large tent has been erected outside. Anything taking place al fresco is off-limits to prying eyes, too.

She should have a private wedding and I dont know what all the hoop haaa is about. Stars are overrated and followed to closely. I would have no intent on intruding upon her wedding and either should anyone else who is not a invited guest. Its just to bad they have to rent out the entire resort to get what we regular people expect out of life. I do think she could have gotten someone better looking but I guess looks are in the eye of the beholder.

You know Carrie – I love you more than my color t.v. (to borrow a quote from Steel Magnolias) but this event of yours is beyond the pale.
And to ask in whatever manner you and the Ritz did – others to cut short their precious personal time on your behalf – wow. Pay my bill to stay at the Ritz, hon – and perhaps, just perhaps. But to surreally expect others to part the water just because……. whoa, Ms. Idol supreme. Whoa…
And a half million dollar wedding? Whoa x a half million.
So much for the humble girl from Checotah doing anything ever again in a humble manner.
Like getting married in the church she grew up in. Like most good ole Southern gals do – regardless of their high self esteem and/or personal bank accounts.
But then we will probably hear she donated a ton to charity – and wrote it all off too – that makes her inconveniencing others and blowing through a wad of cash on a singular event – all worth while.
As the world turns, and my stomach retches, sure…… Carrie – what happened to the girl who would never have DREAMED of such a thing post American Idol win?

Yep. It's all true. We live here… played golf there (at oconee) this am and EVERYONE had to be out of the resort just after noon. The road is blocked off and unless you have the propercredentials you won't be anywhere near the resort. Haven't been on the water but have friends tubing today so will ask them…
Wish them nothing but the best!

I'm happy for both of them.Like I've said in all my comments this WORLD is so damn JUGDMENTAL. Mind your own damn business and be HAPPY for others. Probably none of YOU have lives. He is very handsome and she is stunningly beautiful. And of course they will have beautiful CHILDREN.No one knows what their lives will hold. It just maybe a long and enduring marriage for them. Stop being so harsh on people,take a long hard look at your own lives,is it BETTER than most? If not,then something is definitely wrong with yours'. All this NEGATIVE energy could be put in something more CONSTRUCTIVE….like LOVING others.

Mitt's Misguided View of 'the 47%'
Of all the news generated in Mitt Romney's thought-to-be private comments from a fundraiser that surfaced Monday – and there was plenty of it – the most eye-catching element, from the perspective of Patchwork Nation, was how misguided the premise behind the comments was.
In his comments Mr. Romney not only ignored some basic facts about the way people in different kinds of places actually vote, he also seemed to fundamentally misunderstand a crucial piece of his base, according to polls: social conservatives.
Many different datasets were used to identify and differentiate Patchwork Nation's 12 types of counties – everything from occupation to ethnicity to religious affiliation to, yes, income – and the numbers here are striking.
When in the video Mr. Romney talks about 47 percent of the population that does not pay taxes, he is presumably speaking of less-wealthy households. And if you use income as your main divider of our 12 types, the inverse of what Mr. Romney said is often true. It is the poorer counties that are the most reliably Republican and in fact Mr. Romney needs them to help him win in November
The small-town Service Worker Centers (in red on the map below), rural agricultural Tractor Country (in pink) and socially conservative Evangelical Epicenter counties (in yellow), have all voted with the GOP presidential candidate in each of the last three presidential races.
Those three types have median household incomes of $35,000, $33,000 and $31,000 respectively, compared to a national county average of $37,000. And the Tractor Country and Evangelical Epicenter counties have given the Republican candidate a margin of at least 22 percentage points in every election since 2000.
At the same time, the wealthiest county type, the largely suburban Monied Burbs, have gone Democratic in every election since 2000. And President Barack Obama won those counties by double digits in 2008. The other big Democratic strongholds in Patchwork Nation, the big city Industrial Metros and collegiate Campus and Careers counties, also are above average on the median household income scale.
A simple comparison of maps of median household income shows that the center of the country and the South, where the Republicans do better in elections, have lower incomes. Meanwhile the population centers on the East and West coasts and in the Midwest, which tend to favor Democrats, are also wealthier. The 2008 election results offer an example.
What's going on?
What was most surprising about Mr. Romney's statements is not that they were wrong, it was how deeply they misunderstood what moves many voters. His argument that poorer people tend to vote Democratic, while wealthier people tend to vote Republican out of economic interest ignores key motivating factors that Patchwork Nation has studied for years and that campaigns use to their advantage – sociocultural issues like abortion rights, gay rights, gun rights and the role of religious faith in general.
On our visits to Evangelical Epicenter communities like Nixa, Mo., and, most recently, Gastonia, N.C., the vein of social conservatism runs deep, certainly deeper than simple economic interest.
If voters in these places voted purely along economic lines, they might go Democratic on Election Day. But as we have heard on our talks with people in these communities, values matter. And as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, one would think Mr. Romney would be aware of those cultural markers.
Did Mr. Romney do damage with voters he will need in November with his fundraising speech? Maybe. As we have noted on this page and in The Wall Street Journal in recent weeks, Mr. Romney seems to be having a hard time winning over those Service Worker Centers, which are conservative, but lack the social conservatism of the Evangelical Epicenters.
But, more to the point, his talk seemed to show a big hole in his knowledge of the American electorate.

That same day, sistership U-05 made its very last flight in Dutch air force colours to Lelystad airport (EHLE), followed by U-06 two days later. The aircraft are parked at EHLE awaiting a new owner. Phasing out these last Fokkers meant the end to 96 years of almost continuous service of Fokker aircraft with the Dutch armed forces.

My parents arrived Friday for a short visit. Betsy made trout filled with a spinach/garlic/raisin/pinenut stuffing accompanied by a salad and brown rice. The 2005 Muga rosado was a pleasant if undemanding accompaniment. Light raspberry fruit, moderate acidity, clean but not especially exciting. A little dilute even for rosé. Good enough, but there are other similarly priced rosés out there I like more. B/B-
I should note my parents are not wine people. Since the French paradox report my dad has a glass of wine each night, but at home it's Lake Country red with an icecube. I've tried to interest them a bit, but it's just not their thing. That's ok -they're great parents.
But when they decided to invite us for Saturday dinner at the Ruth's Chris at their hotel (we have no guest room in our little house), I started thinking. I REALLY like a good Bdx or Cabernet with a steak. I knew my parents would just suggest getting a glass. My memory of Ruth's Chris's list was some pricey yet pedestrian wines by the glass, so I asked re corkage when I called- a very reasonable $15. I carried a bottle of 1988 La Lagune (Haut-Medoc)-the only mature Bordeaux on the list was a '92 Petrus. I think the first time my parents ever saw BYO (I explained it's not really cool to bring a bottle of inexpensive wine to save money!).
The La Lagune was the last -and best- of several bottles. Fears of '88 tannins outlasting fruit seemed laughable here. Right from the beginning there was rich blackcurrant fruit. Some earth and leather on top of the cassis flavors. Not a big Bordeaux but certainly big enough to stand up to my rare T-bone. Seemed much younger than other bottles. A very pleasant surprise. A-/B+
Nice evening, though Ruth's Chris's steaks aren't my favorite. But I enjoyed the chopped salad, the creamed spinach, the wine, and the company.
Grade disclaimer: I'm a very easy grader, basically A is an excellent wine, B a good wine, C mediocre. Anything below C means I wouldn't drink at a party where it was only choice. Furthermore, I offer no promises of objectivity, accuracy, and certainly not of consistency.

"Can't Wait to Be Small Again After..."
My implants are saline, under the muscle... done in 2000 during a rough time in my life. I was just going through a divorce and was so afraid to face the dating world again 'flat-chested'. I was always on the fence about it after that. I enjoyed looking more feminine in clothes, but part of me dreaded the idea of something fake being in my body like that. Flash forward 14 years...

Building A User Friendly Website For Your Startup Business
So, you started your business and need a website but have no idea how to begin. You just know that you have to get it done soon so your customers can find your products and you can make lots of money! Let's start by guiding you with the following steps to building a user friendly website.
Cost and Expectations
The costs associated with website building include domain registration, email account set-up, the design of the website and search engine optimization. Most business owners, especially in this economy, expect to have a website built for a relatively cheap cost or no cost at all. What many fail to realize is how complex website development is and how time consuming it is for the web designer. Once flat fees are paid for annual domain and email account registrations the costs associated thereafter are for the time put into the website being built.
The first rule of thumb is to understand that the internet is fluid. It is constantly changing and with technology any type of glitch can happen at any time regardless of deadlines, as turn around times can vary. So you must approach this important project with patience and preparedness.
The average basic website (without domain and email registration) will range from $1,500 to $5,000 if you want something sharp and functional. When you factor in product shops, forums, membership profiles and multi-media your price will go up. Expect the base price to double or even triple. You may even find web designers who will charge you well above $10,000 for a multi-functional website.
If you cannot afford the basic price you can build a "place holder site" to accommodate your budget until you can afford something more extensive.
Design and Content Management
When working with a web designer always make sure you have done your own research on the website look and you have your content ready or you are working on it. Many clients, from a web designers perspective, will expect the website to be built overnight but do not realize that you must have content ready ahead of time.
Choose templates for your design that are smooth and easy to navigate through so your clients can easily find the information they need. Most web designers will build your website in a content manager (i.e. Joomla or Wordpress). Content managers are easy to use once instructed. If a web designer builds your website in Dreamweaver or cold html they have no intention of giving you control over the website unless you know these programs very well. Always ask before hiring your go to website person.
Relevance and Original Content
When building your website do not try to be everything to everyone. Know who your clients are and what your niche is. (This can be researched while developing your business plan). A client can be easily confused if you have too many different topics on your website.
Remember: you are building the website for the common Joe on the street. Just because you know where and what everything on your website is doesn't mean the average consumer will. Use the general rule of thumb in advertising: "Don't make me think!"
As your create the content for your website keep in mind that duplicate content on the web or sourced material is now frowned upon. Your website will not have the search engine ranking you desire if you have someone else's information. You can use researched material in your own words but work on your own content.
Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
Search engine optimization (SEO) is the gospel of good website building. It is the process used to increase a website's or webpage's visibility in search engines (i.e. Google, Yahoo, Bing etc.). The rules for SEO constantly change and vary according to the search engine's algorithms or ranking factors. Google has the most extensive and strict system governing website optimization.
A good website designer will be up to date with these rules….and so should you. Make it a point to include SEO rules in your website research. SEO can make or break your website and the success of it. A good optimized site will bring lots of traffic and generate revenue for you.
Update 12-24-2011: Keep it Fresh
Stale stuff gets ignored or thrown out the door. Recently Google launched the Freshness Update. It basically require you to keep your content fresh and updated depending on the subjects, product, or services you create information for. Frequent updated, and current content now count toward your website visibility so keep it fresh..
Also expect to pay a lot (between $5,000 to $15,000) for a long term SEO campaign. It is very time consuming for a web designer.

User-friendly can be relative for some indusries. For example those gaming sites are pretty busy and full of stuff. If you're new to online gaming you can get a little overwhelmed trying to navigate through them. Then there's the techy gadget websites. They'll all startup small businesses but your eyes get so dizzy looking at some of them yet the owners claim the sites are doing all very well in terms of getting traffic and retaining users. I don't see how but I guess there's a web design trick or two I'm missing.
Sunday, 24 July 2011
I just found out yesterday from one of the big SEO advice websites, that a good user-friendly website depends greatly on the length of the name (short name urls preferred), the name in relation to it's main them and keyword also, the speed it loads up, and whether it's plastered with a little or a lot of Adsense. Keeping up with a customer-friendly website is not easy and requires sticking to some strict SEO rules.
Thursday, 18 August 2011
It's so easy to build a website nowadays with a little help from Wordpress or Joomla. It still requires a lot of work to build good content but if you have a business with a lot going on, you'll have a lot of good information to share with others about your product or service. You can also provide informative and helpful tips for others who want to get into your field of business.

NBCNEWS.COM - A bartender jumped out of the way just in the nick of time when a SUV smashed through a Sunrise restaurant Wednesday.
all of a sudden we just look out the window and I tell him 'watch out,
look at him,'" manager Eduardo Corte said of bartender Edwin Perez.
video shows Corte warning Perez to move. He slid over the bar of
Havana's Cuban Cuisine at 10035 Sunset Strip as the red Nissan SUV
crashed through the front of the restaurant.
"He jumped out of the bar like a cat!" Corte said.
Owner Michael Mellion called Perez "a very lucky man."
"About 30 seconds prior to that car entering, he was
down on his knees, preparing, cleaning for the day, in between a big
cooler and the bar. And he would have been smashed," Mellion said.
escaped with some stitches, and the elderly driver was also OK. Corte
said her foot was still on the gas pedal from the shock.
The restaurant was closed as repairs were made Wednesday, but the owner said it could re-open Thursday.

Trust apple to do that
It's a shame how courts bend over backwards and ignore the law to give apple whatever they want.
Not advocating porn sites but those guys wussed out and who can blame them... Apple's got the cha chings.
This is a tough one, I think. If the website(s) was/were something like iphoneporn.com, I get it (after all, the very site we are all posting on had the same issues a few uyears back). If it was something like iporn.com, I am not sure I can agree with these verditcs.

I'm a Type I Diabetic too. Low blood glucose (or "sugar") levels are no joke. You can straight up die if they go too low. As much as he runs around onstage, I'm surprised that this sort of thing hasn't happened sooner.
While I can't confirm, I've been told by reliable sources that Michaels still uses injections to administer his insulin shots.
Bret, buddy, it's time to switch to an insulin pump. It will improve your life as a Type I Diabetic IMMENSELY!

In the Western world, increasingly more focus is being placed on food being produced in a sustainable and ethically sound manner. The World Commission for Environment and Development in 1987 defined sustainable development as: "Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.". Our research in the field of sustainability touches on both specialist issues of relevance for sustainability and interdisciplinary approaches where the development to which we contribute is seen in a larger social context.
We are obliged by both our ethical principles and Norwegian law to take care of considerations for the welfare of animals in culture. This also applies to farmed fish. The large supermarket chains and consumers of Norwegian seafood view good animal welfare in production as a quality criterion.
National and international collaboration
In order to ensure a high professional quality within so many different disciplines, we place a lot of emphasis on establishing good collaboration relationships with other research communities, both nationally and internationally.

Providence Hosts Hartford to Begin Busy Three-Game Weekend
Providence, RI - The Providence Bruins (5-5-1-0, 11 PTS, 7th Atlantic) host the Hartford Wolf Pack (6-6-0-0, 12 PTS, T-5th Atlantic) this evening at the Dunkin' Donuts Center for the teams' third of 10 regular season meetings in 2009-10. The P-Bruins are 1-2-0-0 on the year against the Wolf Pack, including a 1-1-0-0 mark in Rhode Island.
Providence and Hartford last battled on Halloween in what finished as a 7-0 Wolf Pack victory in Connecticut. The game featured its share of physical interruptions with 140 penalty minutes accumulated between the two teams and a great deal of offensive punch for the home team as Hartford's Bobby Sanguinetti (2g, 2a) and Corey Locke (g, 3a) each registered four points. Regardless of the opponent, however, it has often been the home team that has had the advantage whenever the P-Bruins and Wolf Pack have taken to the ice this season. On the year, Providence boasts a 5-1-1-0 record at The Dunk to its 0-4-0-0 road record, while Hartford is 5-1-0-0 at home but a struggling 1-5-0-0 when away from the XL Center.
On the year, the P-Bruins are led offensively by defenseman Andy Wozniewski and his 15 points, including active team-highs in both goals (5) and assists (10). In net, Dany Sabourin is 5-3-0 with a 2.52 goals-against-average in his eight outings. For the Wolf Pack, Locke paces his squad with 17 points, tied for first in the AHL. Locke and P.A. Parenteau are both in first with eight goals apiece, tied for second in the league, while Sanguinetti has a club-high 11 helpers, good for a first-place share in the AHL. Between the pipes, Chad Johnson shows a 4-3-0 record with one shutout and a 2.86 GAA.
On special teams, both Providence (4th, 21.2%) and Hartford (1st, 29.5%) rank highly on the power play, though both clubs are in the lower-third of the league on the penalty kill, the P-Bruins at 23rd (81.7%) and the Wolf Pack in 28th (75.0%).
It has been another busy week on the Providence transaction wire with Mikko Lehtonen recalled to the Boston Bruins. Lehtonen scored 10 points (3g, 7a) in 11 P-Bruins contests, making him the fourth of Providence's top six scorers to make the trip north, joining Vladimir Sobotka, Brad Marchand and Trent Whitfield. Meanwhile, Jimmy Fraser has been released from his Professional Tryout Agreement and returned to the ECHL's Reading Royals, making room for new P-Bruins forward Mark Derlago, up from the Idaho Steelheads.
Providence continues its weekend Saturday on the road against the Lowell Devils at 7 p.m. On Sunday, the P-Bruins are home to host the Hershey Bears at 4:05 p.m. Prior to tonight and Sunday's games, local Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts will be collecting non-perishable food items for the Rhode Island Food Bank to support the Scouting for Food national campaign. Fans are encouraged to drop off their non-perishable food items in the Dunkin' Donuts Center lobby. Sunday's contest is a Family Game, where fans can buy one ticket, hot dog and soda for one low price. To purchase 2009-10 season tickets, Flex Tix or individual game tickets, please call the Providence Bruins ticket office at (401) 273-5000 or log on to the team website at www.providencebruins.com.

Dr. Tom Misteli
Senior Investigator, Center for Cancer Research, NCI
Dr. Tom Misteli had no intentions of becoming a scientist when he grew up in a small town near Berne, Switzerland.
"I wasn't one of those kids running around saying, 'I'm going to be a doctor.' I was interested in lots of different things," he explains. "After high school I was torn between studying literature and biology. Then, one day, I was on a train trip, and I bought a copy of Scientific American for whatever reason - it was a special issue on molecular biology - and it absolutely captured my attention. That's how I decided I was going to be a biologist.
"I remember my father asking me 'Are you sure about this?' And I said, 'Not at all, but I'm going to see whether I like it,'" he laughs.
Today, Dr. Misteli remains a committed cell biologist, heading the Cell Biology of Genomes Group in the Laboratory of Receptor Biology and Gene Expression in NCI's Center for Cancer Research, where he focuses on an unusual niche in molecular research: How the spatial organization of the genome within a cell's nucleus contributes to cell functioning and to the origins of disease.
After earning his Ph.D. from the University of London and the Imperial Cancer Research Fund, London, Dr. Misteli worked as a postdoctoral fellow at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in New York, where he became interested in genome organization.
"This is an area of research that 5 or 6 years ago, literally nobody in the United States worked on because it was extremely high risk," says Dr. Misteli. That is, few other researchers had explored this area of cell biology, leaving a gap in the scientific literature that made it difficult to justify a project on the neglected subject. "I came to NCI because it provided a lot of freedom to do high-risk research, which is increasingly more difficult in the outside [research] world."
Dr. Misteli's lab uses molecular techniques including polymerase chain reaction and microarrays to measure gene expression, in addition to time-lapse microscopic techniques that visualize the movement of gene loci in single living cells.
All but one of the genes they observed undergoing repositioning during early tumor differentiation also moved during normal differentiation, but several additional genes - including genes known to drive cancer development - also changed their location within the nucleus in the tumor model. Dr. Misteli's group is now exploring these positional changes of tumor genes for diagnostic purposes.
Other recent work from the lab has shown how the proteins that repair damaged DNA physically interact with the chromosomes, and how the mutant protein responsible for Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome - a premature aging disease - interferes with the functioning of stem cells that produce the bones, blood vessels, connective tissues, and other vital structures of the body. The next step in this field with regards to cancer, explains Dr. Misteli, is to discover the mechanisms by which higher order genome organization helps drive the process of tumorigenesis.
"We're at a point where we now understand the fundamental concepts, the fundamental principles by which genomes are organized in the nucleus, and I would argue, even the principles by which genomes function," he says. "So the next step is to link some of these morphological observations to function, to physiology, and to disease."

Beef experienced significant volume growth in the past year and continues to be a mainstay on the menu, according to the 2013 Usage and Volumetric Assessment of Beef in Foodservice report, proprietary research from the Beef Checkoff Program.
The annual survey of protein purchasing executives showed that beef remains the number one protein in foodservice – in volume, in market share and in the dollars it brings to operations.
Specific findings include:
"This research supports what we already know to be true: no other protein can satisfy like beef. Operators understand the value that beef brings to their business and they know beef is – and must continue to be – a mainstay on the menu due to strong consumer demand for beef," said Sid Viebrock, a beef producer from Washington and chairman of the checkoff's Value Subcommittee.
In addition to beef's overall performance in foodservice, the research looked at the sales of specific beef cuts. Traditional steaks such as Sirloin, Top Loin and Ribeye continue to be mainstays on the menu, while emerging cuts like the Petite Tender, Flat Iron Steak, Tri-Tip and Chuck Eye Roast also experienced growth. The detailed findings on these beef categories is available at: http://www.BeefFoodservice.com/BeefCategorySales.aspx.
The annual Usage and Volumetric Assessment of Beef in Foodservice is conducted by Technomic on behalf of the Beef Checkoff Program to understand the usage of beef in the foodservice industry. The study evaluates the penetration of beef usage in various foodservice segments and the sales of beef in pounds and dollars. Respondents included protein purchasing executives within 180 of the Top 250 restaurant chains representing $41 billion of 2012 foodservice industry sales.
Operators looking for more information on menuing beef can visit www.BeefFoodservice.com.

Not sure if you've noticed, but we're taking requests: If you've got a "Weather Vain" locale you want us to cover, hit us at email@example.com or @ofakind on the Twitter. Today's comes from our girl @hourglass, who made us swear not to make any dontchaknow jokes. MISSION ACCEPTED. —erica
Clockwise from top left:
+ A floral scarf from Suno that pays homage to all of the gorgeousness in bloom.
+ Reed Krakoff shoes with what we'd call a sensible heel—ideal for a leisurely stroll in this freaking beautiful weather.
+ Adding a little warmth and jazziness as you get into the evening hours, this short-sleeve Closed trench is ready for strawberry-artichoke panzanella at HoDo (a.k.a. Hotel Donaldson).
+ The beauty of the shibori-dyed tee Study made us is that it's hipper than any other cotton number in your arsenal.
+ Bright chinos! Reach for this Maison Scotch pair while you can still stand the thought of long pants.
+ The bracelet that Ursa Major created for Of a Kind looks like something that would be on display at the Plains Art Museum.

Get Willy Wonka on the horn: He should make some candy in the colors of Reed Krakoff's spring bags. —erica

Listen, you're not going to be able to wear these Reed Krakoff sandals for months, but don't you want to buy them rightthisminute anyway? Something about them says, "I resolve to have the sort of summer that's filled with lobster rolls and meandering bicycle rides." —erica

If we attended the sorts of events where people with cordless mics ask, "Who are you wearing?" we'd be happy to be in this dress (blue leather straps!) and report, "Reed Krakoff."

Reed Krakoff, former Coach creative director, has launched his own line. The prissier and more architectural stuff isn't quite there, but I love anything in the billowy vein—wide-leg pants (sometimes leather!), thigh-grazing sweaters, and jumbo jackets in deep, rich neutrals. You can watch the whole show on the designer's website.
