1. They stand closer to you or they keep a smaller distance when they're around you. It shows that they are comfortable with you and want to get physically intimate.
2. They are more likely to face you when talking to you as opposed to standing sideways or away from you. However, if they are shy, then maybe this point won't apply so much. Instead, they will periodically take glimpses at you when you're not looking.
3. They'd try to get your attention for trivial things such as calling you about what homework they have or when the homework is due.
4. They smile more frequently because of you. Even if they don't show it while around you because they don't want you to find out they like you, they will smile when they think of you.
when someone taller than you hugs you and you kind of put your head on their chest and it feels really protective and warm like godamn if thats not the greatest shit in the world

family reunion fun
Our family had a fantastic time! Clarksfork guest lodge was 28 minutes north of Cody and 10 minutes from the Chief Joesph Hwy, which was a breathtaking ride up to 12k feet, with hundreds of lakes and snow pockets even in September! Kayaking was available on the large stocked trout lake/pond also on the Clarksfork River which goes right by the lodge. Wildlife meandered past the front of lodge early mornings. The beds were wonderful, with tastefully decorated rooms. The downstairs had a bar, pool table, washer /dryer. Beautiful views of the Beartooth Mts and Clarksfork river from a large lobby. Big screen tv, internet and fax machine at our disposal. A well stocked kitchen, (all we did is bring the food). We feel we can recommend this as fun and relaxing place to get away from it all!
Joe and Betty Schultz....born and raised in Cody Country
We gathered our scattered family to celebrate our 60th Anniversary...(our little wedding reception was held at Irma Flat Club House just up the road) Our stay at Bull Moose Retreat was so comfortable. The facility was perfect for a happy time with our children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. The owners answered our every question and request. The garage worked for an ice cream social for friends and extended family. We could look west from the Retreat to review family history from the McMillin, Schultz and Christler ancestors. McMillins lived on Poverty Flats, just up the way in 1916. There is a photo of Folsom on the steps of Irma Flat School at age 7 or 8. Pete was guiding and doing rope trips at Valley Ranch in 1926 or 27. Christlers bought Castle Rock Ranch in 1932 and soon filed on a homestead right behind the rock. Be the time we were in high school Betty lived on the place where the Dale Millers later resided and Joe lived in a house on the right side of the Southfork road, not half a mile from Bull Moose that had been the Nordquist place. We love the Southfork...can you tell.

Lawmakers moved Wednesday to create a new $2,500 tax credit to encourage purchasing electric cars. But they also took another first step toward vastly raising the cost to register electric, hybrid and natural gas cars to pay for it.
That action came in two separate bills in two committees that had clean-air advocates praising one, and attacking the other as hurting people who are trying to help clean the air.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
HB74 by Rep. Lowry Snow, R-Santa Clara, would create the new tax credit, similar to a tax break already available for other types of clean-fuel vehicles. The House Revenue and Taxation Committee approved it on a 13-0 vote, and sent it to the House.
Sen. Wayne Harper, R-Taylorsville, said his SB139 would pay for that credit by raising registration fees on clean-fuel vehicles. The Senate Transportation Committee passed it 3-0, and sent it to the full Senate.
Harper's bill originally called for using the higher registration fees to help pay for highway maintenance. He had argued that such vehicles often escape gasoline taxes that fund roads, so raising registration fees would help them contribute.
He amended it Wednesday so that proceeds now will pay for the tax credit instead — saying the credit otherwise would be funded from income taxes that go to education.
Harper also lowered his proposed registration fees for hybrid electric cars by $30 to $138. But that is still more than triple the current $43 fee. His bill also triples registration fees for natural gas vehicles, and quadruples them for total electric vehicles.
Harper said too many people saw his original bill "as a conflict between roads and health." He said his newly amended bill "is in support of clean air."
But many clean-air advocates disagreed.
"It's going to penalize the very people who are making conscious efforts to improve emissions and air quality," said Maryann Martindale, executive director of Alliance for a Better Utah. She argued that giving a tax credit but charging higher fees amounts to no incentive to buy a clean-fuel vehicle.
"The two bills together make no sense," said Steve Foxley, a lobbyist for the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers.
"There are other ways to raise money to get people out of [gas-fueled] cars," said Terry Marasco, a clean-air activist.

|I'm sure you mean well, and
I'm sure you mean well, and probably on the whole are saying this beacuse legions of incoming freshman come in with goofy anecdotal stories from older siblings and insist on disagreeing with many of the Acadmeic Advisors or Academic Peer Advisors. I can see how that might be frustrating for you and your team. And while it's also possible that maybe you personally have a really great advisor (they do indeed exist), many of the advisors are frankly remarkedly unqualified and regularly dole out lousy advice. Almost none of them actually have a Michigan degree, nor know what it's like to be in some of the uber-competitive classes offered at a large university like Michigan. These are the same people who tell freshman to regularly turn down valuable AP credit and enroll in some of the worst classes on campus (Math 115, Chem 130, Bio 172, etc.), got Physics 125 canned in favor of 135, and did away with the Gen Chem 2 waiver (forcing many to take PChem). My premed advisor at LSA was a total moran, and I frequently encounter other premeds who have suffered due to awful advice from her.
Yes it can be said that you shouldn't believe everything you read on the net, but there are many success heavy-hitter alums who frequent this site and kindly offered wisdom on this thread. It sounds like the OP already realizes this, but to other future Freshman out there do talk to current students and alumni. Also great advice may also be had from the sophomores on your hall.

1) She's contantly behidn and crams the hardest chapters of material into the very last day of lecture. Other orgo profs don't do this.
2) She's a hypocrit (personal experience).
3) She favors students who try hard and come to her office to kiss ass. Much easier to score an A you did not actually earn with Kathy.
4) She regularly tests on material that's from a future chapter (i.e. problems on Ch10 should NOT be on the Ch7-9 exam).
5) She requires excessive evening "workshops" so she can cover the same material other profs do in their alotted three hours per week.
6) She wastes the last lecture of the year making an ABCs of chemistry nursery rhyme instead of using that time to better prepare the students for the final.
7) The manner she teaches much of the material involves skipping necessary steps that while may not serve a purpose in Chem 210 provide an important foundation for concepts in Chem 215
More, but I'm in a rush.
She can explain chemistry well, and for that she's highly overrated.

|Apologies that it took so
Apologies that it took so long to finally respond to your comment; I saw it this morning and am only now giving it the attention it deserves.
As was already articluated by another reader, you sir are an ignorant ass-hat. As a former member of a transplant team, I can honestly say that many people in the general population opt not to donate their organs due to misinformation and fear-mongering generated by uninformed Luddites like yourself. Less donors mean less organs, and less organs means fewer lives saved. On behalf of modern medicine and those desperately waiting for life-saving transplants, please crawl out from under the rock where you reside and get a clue.
1) Multiple studies are conducted to establish clinical brain death over a period of time. It's not a "snap-judgement" and would have to be incorrectly diagnosed multiple times over that period.
2) Brain death is irreversible. This is NOT a coma. It is impossible to awaken from brain death. Saying it's a "fine line between being alive and death" is like suggesting that a broken television isn't actually broken so long as you leave it plugged into the wall.
3) Coroners do NOT pronounce brain death. Licensed physicians board-certified in neurology do.
4) The medical team working to save the paitent's life has no association to the transplant team, and thus no financial nor other incentive to get "greedy" and "hot for your insides." The regional transplant organization is only contacted after brain death has been established.
I really hate to be that guy on the internet who has to log on just to say that you are wrong, but your comments go beyond unenlightened and ignorant when they perpetuate myths and stereotypes that have real life-or-death consequences. Here's a new strategy that might serve you well in life:
Think first. Open pie-hole second.

|1) Get the ACT up 2 points
1) Get the ACT up 2 points -- it's not that hard. Find a tutor. Avoid Kaplan / Princeton. Leverage reading, english, and math as the new ACT science is really tough to prepare for. Time spent on math and english ACT preparation have the higest return on investment. Reread geometry and algrebra 1 text books. The McGraw Hill Handbook of English Grammar is quite useful. Strunk and White might help as well.
2) Have smart people (English teachers, college prep advisors, etc.) proof and advise you on your essays. Make them GREAT. Remember this cardinal rule: the more your essay reflects your own life, opinions, emotions, and experiences, the more it will stand out from the crowd. We are all unique though not everyone writes a unique essay. Prety much every story has already been told once on a college admissions essay; there's nothing novel you can do there but you can tell it through your OWN eyes and using your own perspective. Don't underestimate this.
3) YES do the joint BME BS/MS program. And definitely do consider stat's as well. Double major and take hard classes while here. Your GPA might get dinged but your education will be well worth it. You will never have an issue finding employment with a double in BME and stats.
4) Sometimes ROTC offers a "trial" year. MY cousin did this here at UofM a few years ago. He signed up for a year, tried it, they paid his entire tuition and fees, and after a year he had the option to stay in the program or go (he opted to leave). You get to keep the free year of tuition.
5) Once you enter grad for the MS program you can apply to become a TA (free tuition and health care, $2400 / month stipend).
6) If you are good at explaining stats and/or physics you can tutor on campus for pretty good money. If you are excellent explaining at stats and/or physics you can tutor on campus for amazing money (and I will hire you do that).
7) Engineering interships tend to pay very well during the summer. It definitely limits your options away from start-ups and academic research, but you can easily pull down $10-15k in a summer working your tail off for a big firm.
8) If all else fails go somewhere else and transfer in. It's easy after your first year at any major University so long as you have good grades.
Best of luck!

Regardless of whether you like the hire or not, how #$@*ing refreshing is it that this was handled the right way -- top to bottom. None of the Sailor Bill BS; the firing was kept a secret and less than 24 hours Brandon and Hoke are announcing their replacement.
I love it when a plan comes together...

The Clock Shop and Deadwood History's Adams Museum are partnering to create a unique piece of history: the Potato Creek Johnny 2 gold nugget (PCJ2). This one-of-a-kind nugget will be auctioned on September 28, 2013 to benefit the Adams Museum and the Wounded Warrior Project.
The PCJ2 is a solid gold nugget melding the mold and gold of the South Dakota Black Hills' two largest gold nuggets in existence today. The placer gold taken from the site of the recently discovered Icebox Nugget was poured into a mold made from the famous Potato Creek Johnny Nugget to create a completely new piece of history: the PCJ2.

Ed Romaine, the town supervisor of Brookhaven, Long Island, is taking heat for being on vacation with his wife in Jamaica during the Blizzard of 2013 and its aftermath.
Brookhaven is one of the most populous townships in New York. The response by the town during the storm was disappointing, according to many residents. Others are even angrier saying Brookhaven failed its people.
Snow remains piled up in many locations across the Suffolk County town.
"People have been asking where in the world is Ed Romaine? Most of the half a million people in the town of Brookhaven have been wondering that for the last four days. They're starting to call him 'Caribbean Ed," said Councilman Steve Fiore-Rosenfeld.
But the deputy town supervisor has come to the defense of Romaine saying he's not the problem.
"The situation has been remedied and the fault lies with the person who is going to tender his resignation today and that's the acting highway superintendent. In this town we don't have a department of public works," said Deputy Town Supervisor Daniel Panico.
A toothache reportedly kept Acting Highway Superintendent Michael Murphy out of work.
"Unfortunately, a colleague of ours has tried to make political bones out of the fact the supervisor was not here and who had a pre-planned few days off with his wife. Ed Romanine's record of public service is stellar if not legendary. We marshaled all the resources in here," Panico.
Romaine was expected back on the job as early as Wednesay. He has reportedly scheduled a news conference for Thursday.

Nothing could be further from the truth.
We drove to Fort Lauderdale from our home on an island in southwest Florida. Boarding the ship seemed like a bit of a cattle call, but again, we had no experience, and it didn't take more than an hour. Our friends were already on board and we were able to go to our cabins immediately.
We had talked everyone into getting balcony staterooms, and we were all delighted with them. Being used to our own boats (a series of cabin cruisers, some with multiple bedrooms and baths) we were amazed at the size of our room - just like a good hotel but with a lower ceiling.
The food, the service, and the entertainment far exceeded any expectations we had.
Yes, the dining room is gaudy, but we were given an ideal table for six in a corner by a window. Every night we remarked on our good luck and also on the perfect service. The food ranged from good to very good, though we all preferred the seafood dishes to the red meat ones.
Each evening before dinner we gathered in an alternating cabin and had wine courtesy of the two bottles each couple was allowed to bring on board. We then drank water with dinner, so I can't comment on the wine choices or prices.
Since we all live in Florida, the pool wasn't much of a draw, but several of us walked each morning and the outside decks were delightful and spotless.
In Costa Rica, it was the opposite. We had a great ride on a vintage train through villages and a banana plantation, ending up at a resort where we took a river boat excursion through some amazing scenes - the foliage was like Florida on steroids!
Best of all was our Mayan ruin tour in Belize. We'd all like to go back there for a fishing trip.
All of us were inexperienced cruisers, but we thought Carnival - and I know the Miracle is one of its most popular ships - was terrific, and not just because it was so affordable. The people clearly came from all walks of life, and as diehard Democrats, that was great with us.
We are signed up for our next February on a Princess cruise of the eastern Caribbean. It had the itinerary we wanted, but Princess will have to go some to beat our experience on the Miracle!

Brave new apps world is looking creepier
Last updated at 13:55, Thursday, 01 March 2012
We use them to buy and listen to music, store and share photos, read a newspaper, get maps or recipes and even find a wife...
But there's a much more sinister side to these helpful little computer programmes that have become such a key part of our everyday life.
They can spy on us.
Facebook, for example, can read the text messages of all those who use its Android smartphone app.
The social media giant says it has not used this right – yet.
The photo app Flickr and Yahoo! are also believed to be able to use their apps to read our text messages, while some other programmes are said to be able to remotely take images from users' cameras and even dial their phone and intercept calls without the owner's knowledge.
The firms say they don't and won't pass on any information to a third party – but do you trust them?
And why should they feel the need to read our private messages – or to use our property to send messages or take pictures?
To say it is all very creepy is a massive understatement.
Users actually give suppliers access to private information and in some cases, to use their phones or computers without their knowledge.
Terms and conditions are those tiny, useless words that go on for pages which are usually printed so small and are sooo boring that no-one ever bothers with them.
But when we agree to 'terms and conditions' for apps, they can involve giving permission for these internet firms to help themselves to our privacy.
You can get an app to do anything and a new one pops up every minute – now even Oxfam is testing out a programme that lets customers find out the back story to that teapot or tanktop they're thinking of buying.
Shoppers can scan the 'shelflife' tags with their mobile phones to find out about an item's past and maybe why it is up for sale.
The charity believes it will be able to sell things more easily when they have stories attached to them. But if what we're up to can now get back to the app creator this could be really serious.
I don't want anyone else to know that I collect Bros and Spandau Ballet vinyl records...

It's been three months since our second daughter was born. On January 27, Lamorra Sage Day and her fiery red hair arrived in a hurry. We got to the hospital with plenty of time, and at first, things progressed smoothly — dare I say, normally. The nurses even dismissed me to grab dinner from the cafeteria — "we'll need you to be in top form, so fill your stomach" they said. "There's plenty of time."
I was at the cash register buying a couple of bananas when my phone started to ring. At the top of the elevator, a nurse was waiting for me. "You need to run," is all she said. In the delivery room, I washed my hands, took Hailey's palm, and the doctor immediately said to me "OK, Dad, are you ready to announce the gender?"
What? Hailey was in active labor for 15 minutes. I was there for the final three.

Two Qualifiers Win Quarterfinals In Dallas
Published August 25, 2011 11:29
DALLAS, TX, USA - Two seeds will contest one semifinal at the Texas Tennis Open, while two qualifiers will compete in the other, making this the first event since Bogotá in 2008 with multiple qualifiers through to the final four.
Watch Dallas & New Haven on WTA Live powered by TennisTV!While each of Thursday's winners advanced in straight sets, none was more dominant than Angelique Kerber. The German won 54 points while only losing 25 in her 60 61 rout of Johanna Larsson that featured an 18-minute first set and lasted 45 minutes altogether. When she takes on fellow qualifier Aravane Rezai, it will be the first semifinal of 2011 for both. Interestingly enough, they both have the same number of career match wins - 238 with Kerber having 153 losses and Rezai 162.
Rezai had lost twice this year in straight sets to Elena Baltacha, including just two weeks ago in Toronto qualifying, but she completely turned the tides on Thursday, handling the Brit, 62 62.
"It was a pretty tough match," Rezai said. "She's a very good player with a good serve and a good return. I tried to be as relaxed as I could and fight as much as I could. I was really consistent and aggressive, and that was the key."
The bottom half of the draw has gone a bit more according to form, as fifth-seeded Sabine Lisicki will square off with eighth-seeded Irina-Camelia Begu for a berth in the final. Lisicki beat qualifier Kateryna Bondarenko, 61 62, the third time in three matches this week in which she lost just three games.
"I feel a lot better now," Lisicki said. "I think I'm hitting the ball cleaner with less errors. Still a couple too many, but I'm a perfectionist, and it's getting better every day. It's great to have so many good matches under my belt in preparation for the US Open."
Begu, who turns 21 on Friday, got past Anastasija Sevastova, 63 64. She also hasn't dropped a set all week.
In doubles action, Alberta Brianti and Sorana Cirstea reached the final with a 63 63 defeat of No.3 seeds Sofia Arvidsson and Casey Dellacqua.

To celebrate the 100th Grey Cup, TSN presents 'Engraved on a Nation,' a series of documentaries highlighting eight indelible moments in the history of the CFL's ultimate prize. TSN.ca producer Shane McNeil presents a feature story on how each of these stories was brought to the screen.
On Dec. 9, 1956, the Canadian Football League lost five of its brightest stars when Trans-Canada Air Lines Flight 810 crashed into the Canadian Rockies.
Gone from that ill-fated flight were five players on their way home from the annual East-West All-Star Game - Defensive end Gordon Sturtridge, centre/tight end Mel Becket, guard Mario DeMarco and offensive lineman Ray Syrnyk of the Saskatchewan Roughriders, as well as Winnipeg Blue Bombers offensive guard Calvin Jones.
The Roughriders would lose a former Western Most Outstanding Canadian in Sturtridge, while the names DeMarco and Becket – both All-Stars as well - currently adorn the CFL's trophy for Best West Division Lineman. The team would also lose a native Saskatoon son in Syrnyk.
While the crash would send an immediate shockwave through the CFL - especially in Saskatchewan - the loss of Jones is still a matter of heartfelt remembrance for many across the football world.
Jones, meanwhile, was such a standout with the University of Iowa that he became the first African-American athlete to grace the cover of Sports Illustrated. While he would only play one season in the CFL, he would represent the West in the annual All-Star festivities.
One current CFLer in particular has an emotional connection to Jones' death: Calgary Stampeders guard Edwin "Boomer" Harrison, Jones' grandson. Harrison's search to learn more about his grandfather and repair his family in memory of the College Football Hall-of-Famer is the focus of Paul Cowan's 'The Crash of Flight 810,' the latest in TSN's Engraved on a Nation documentary series.
Born of a brief College romance, Edwin Harrison Sr. never knew his father before his death. In light of this, the search into the truth behind Jones's death was a voyage of reparation and reconciliation for the younger Harrison - as well as his entire family.
Cowan, an Oscar-nominated filmmaker, followed Harrison's search and soon witnessed the reunification of a passionate football family. "To this day, family is No. 1, but football is No. 2," Cowan said of the Harrisons, "and yet there was this one huge black hole which sort of belied the fact that football was so important to them and that hole was Calvin Jones."
An Outland Trophy winner as the best offensive lineman in U.S. college football, Jones started his pro career north of the 49th after falling to the fifth round of the 1956 NFL Draft. From there, his talent would outshine the opinions of NFL scouts.
"Calvin was no more a fifth-round [pick] than I am a rocket scientist," Jones' high school friend Frank Gilliam said in the documentary.
The on-field fraternity of football is a parallel current throughout Harrison's journey in 'The Crash of Flight 810.'
Cowan spoke of Gilliam's memories and inability to speak about Jones without remembering the crash. "There was a lot of pain and there was a lot of – I think – catharsis as a result of going through this," he said. "But again you realize what a family a football team is."
"For Frank, I don't know if he could have been any closer to Calvin Jones if Calvin had been his biological brother."
The immediate impact of the crash unified the league and its fans in grief. Again, it's a relationship that Cowan recognizes as familial.
"In a sense I would say it was even more devastating on the towns that had CFL teams, because back then – from everything I've learned and everything I've read – your CFL team in your town was part of your family," he said.
Harrison's story enabled Cowan to discover the lasting impact the crash had on one family and to use it as a mirror to the journey towards acceptance and recovery from a terrible tragedy that affected so many CFL fans in the winter of 1956.
Enabling his father to finally meet Jones' family after a lifetime of not knowing them allowed Harrison to close his own quest for knowledge in both his family's past as well as the football legacy that allowed him to thrive as a CFL player.
Harrison's journey took him from the sidelines of McMahon Stadium to Houston, where a finally reunified Jones-Harrison clan would sit down to dinner to discuss the past and finally get to know one another.
The journey would continue for Harrison to Jones' final resting place at the base of Mt. Slesse.
The pilgrimage helped Harrison heal the wounds left from not knowing half his family that his father had nursed for decades.
"I think that was the biggest catharsis for Boomer: to watch his Dad finally get this skeleton out of the closet," Cowan said. "I think going up the mountain was kind of a fitting end to it all, but really the catharsis came when Boomer realized: 'My Dad has found his family.'"
The tragic loss of five players is a wound from which the family that is the CFL has taken many years to recover.
Few could have imagined that 56 years after the crash, there was still more healing to be done.

U.S. malls and strip centers saw slight growth in the fourth quarter, but experts say the wobbly economy and recent disappointing holiday-shopping season point to a lackluster 2013 for retail landlords.
The average vacancy rate at malls in the quarter declined to 8.6%, down one-10th of a percentage point from the previous quarter, according to a new report from real-estate research firm Reis Inc. REIS -0.34% Reis Inc. U.S.: Nasdaq $23.39 -0.08 -0.34% Sept. 22, 2014 4:00 pm Volume (Delayed 15m) : 18,116 AFTER HOURS $23.39 0.00 % Sept. 22, 2014 4:30 pm Volume (Delayed 15m) : 155 P/E Ratio 13.92 Market Cap $259.68 Million Dividend Yield 1.88% Rev. per Employee $183,312 07/02/14 Apartment Rents Rise as Income... 07/01/14 Office Market Remains Sluggish... More quote details and news » Mall vacancy has declined five quarters in a row since the industry hit a 12-year high of 9.4% in the third quarter of 2011, said Reis, which tracks the top 77 U.S. markets.
Rendering of a Petsmart store to be opened this year at the Six Forks Station center in Raleigh, N.C. Weingarten Realty Investors
At strip centers, the rows of shops facing a common parking lot and often anchored by a grocery store, average vacancy declined to 10.7% in the fourth quarter from 10.8% in the third. That is just 0.4 percentage point from the highest vacancy rate in this category since Reis began tracking the figures: 11.1%, registered in the third quarter of 2011 and at year-end in 1990.
Retail landlords and analysts expect only tepid progress this year in the wake of the recent shopping season. Holiday sales increased by only 4.1% in 2012, compared with a 5.6% boost in 2011, according to preliminary numbers put out by the National Retail Federation late last year. The group will publish its final tally next week.
Also, weak job growth and concerns about federal budget cuts and tax increases continue to weigh on consumer confidence. "If we couldn't muster good sales during the holiday season, that doesn't say much good about sales going forward and how that will translate into demand" for store space, said Ryan Severino, a senior economist at Reis.
But demand for space in existing shopping centers remains anemic, limiting rent increases. The average asking rent at malls rose by 0.2% in the fourth quarter to $39.31 a square foot per year from the previous quarter, according to Reis. It was the sixth consecutive quarterly increase, though none was greater than 0.3%. At strip centers, the average asking rent increased by 0.2% to $19.08, the fourth consecutive quarterly gain.
In the fourth quarter, the nine markets with the lowest vacancy rates were affluent suburbs in California and New York, according to Reis.

SEE PHOTOS: Top Irish hunks over 50 photo gallery
Read more: IrishCentral's top ten most beautiful Irish people - PHOTOS
Just in time for Easter, IrishCentral has composed a list of Hibernian hotties. From the Hollywood stars like Liam Neeson and Pierce Brosnan, to renowned rockers like Bono, readers may be surprised to hear that these dapper men are beyond the age of 50.
Daniel Day-Lewis, 53, became an Irish citizen in 1993 and is best known for his Oscar winning roles are "My Left Foot" and "There Will Be Blood". In 2009 he demonstrated that even in his fifties he was still hot stuff, while starring opposite a string of beautiful women, including Nicole Kidman, Kate Hudson and Penelope Cruz in "Nine".
Years after his breakthrough role as Christy Brown he continues to impress Hollywood with his good looks, talent and Irish charm. It has just been announced that he is set to star as Abraham Lincoln in a new movie by Steven Spielberg. He is married to legendary playwright, Arthur Miller's daughter, Rebecca Miller and the couple have two sons.
Liam Neeson - Visit his profile page
Liam Neeson, 58, has often been described as one of Ireland's hottest men, leading him to dismiss such title's and confesses that he snores. Best known for his role in "Michael Collins" and "Schindler's List", Neeson has been nominatied for Oscar, Golden Globe and a BAFTA. However, his role as a newly single father in "Love Actually" was what cemented him as a heart-throb in the hearts of women all over the world.
Following the tragic death of his wife Natasha Richardson in a skiing accident last year, Neeson has been keeping a low profile and focusing on his two sons. His upcoming cameo in the follow up to the smash hit comedy "The Hangover" demonstrates that even at 58, he's still got it.
Pierce Brosnan
Pierce Brosnan, 57, hails from Navan, Co. Meath. He has had a number of memorable roles in box office hits that include "Dante's Peak" and "The Thomas Crown Affair", but most notably for his Golden Globe nominated role in "Mamma Mia".
It was, however, his iconic role as James Bond in four movies from 1995-2002 that has given him his sexy status. Killing the bad guys, having his drinks shaken, not stirred, and seducing a serious of beautiful bond girls including Denise Richards, Halle Berry and Teri Hatcher, made women all over the world week at the knees for the secret agent. He is married to American journalist and author Keely Shaye Smith and became an American citizen in 2004.
Bono - Visit his profile page
Paul David Hewson aka Bono, 50, hails from Dublin and is front man for U2, one of the most successful rock bands in the world. His rocker status and uber-cool outfits, combined with his outspoken views on humanitarian issues and rebellious streak make him one of Ireland's most desirable men.
Bono is a man who knows how to use his voice for a lot more than singing and has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2003, 2005, and 2006 for his philanthropy. He was involved in the 1984 "Feed the World" charity single and the re-released version in 2004. Ali Hewson is that smart lady that managed to snap up Ireland's coolest and most caring man and the couple have two children together.

Nearly two dozen animals were removed from a Frankfort home this morning after police say the animals were found in terrible living conditions.
Frankfort Police say 23 animals – 7 cats and 16 dogs – were taken from a home on Willis Avenue.
The Human Society says the cats are being held at the Franklin County Humane Society, while the dogs have been taken to Lakeview Park.
Nancy Benton, the shelter manager, said the living conditions for the animals was poor.
"There was feces and urine smeered into the floor," Benton said. "They were in cramped kennels, cramped cages, a lot of broken wires… They were not real secure, the odor in the house was horrific. Our eyes were burning and it was hard to breath."
Benton added that the animals are being looked at by a vet and should be read for adoption in about a week. She said the animals do appear to be in good health.

In their quest to live a longer and healthier life, many people turn to supplements, herbal remedies and other forms of complementary medicine. But one remedy for a longer life costs nothing and requires no additional studies to prove its effectiveness.
"Over the years, numerous studies have shown exercise can protect against disease and early death," says Kathie Davis, executive director of the IDEA Health and Fitness Association in San Diego. "How much exercise helps you live longer? Research suggests as little as 30 minutes of daily exercise -- such as walking, cycling, yard work or swimming -- can make a difference."
The following examples of recent research findings should inspire you to get in shape and stay in shape.
The government recommendation of 30 minutes a day of physical activity may seem modest. But a study headed by Steven Blair, senior scientific editor of the Surgeon General's report, found that survival gains achieved by going from sedentary to moderately active were greater than those achieved by going from moderately active to very active, Ms. Davis says.
Walking two miles per day can prolong life. As part of the Honolulu Heart Program, researchers studied the benefits of walking at least two miles a day versus walking less than a mile a day. The subjects were retired men. During the 12-year follow-up, the mortality rate for those who walked the shortest distance was nearly twice as high as it was for those who walked the farthest.
Exercise lowers women's risk of heart attack. In the Nurses Health Study, researchers found the age-adjusted risk of suffering a heart attack was 54 percent lower for the most active women than it was for the sedentary women. Even slightly active women had a 23 percent lower risk than the sedentary group.
In the same study of nurses, women who walked at a brisk pace for three or more hours per week significantly reduced their risk of having a heart attack.
Researchers in Dallas followed more than 25,000 adults in the Aerobics Center Longitudinal Study (an ongoing study begun in 1970) for an average of 13 years. The investigators found that obese people who were fit weren't at a significantly higher risk of early death than their fit, normal-weight counterparts. The risk increased more than threefold for unfit obese people, however.
During a study in Denmark, reported in the American Journal of Epidemiol in October 2003, researchers reported finding the mortality rate of the most physically active subjects was approximately half that of the least active subjects.
A long-term fitness program is key for heart-attack survivors. In a follow-up to the National Exercise and Heart Disease Project, researchers compared men who had suffered heart attacks 19 years earlier. Some had participated in a cardiac rehabilitation exercise program, others hadn't. At the three-year follow-up, the exercisers had a 31 percent lower death rate than the non-exercisers.
In the Framingham Heart Study, researchers found recent exercise provides more health benefits than exercise done in years past.
"So someone who has been sedentary for 40 years can't rely on a college athletic career for protection against heart attack," says Ms. Davis. "On the bright side, it's never too late to start exercising."

WASHINGTON — Senator Dianne Feinstein, who is leading the push to restore an assault weapon ban, acknowledged on Sunday that the effort faces tough odds to pass Congress because of the powerful gun lobby, but she said most Americans are behind the idea.
Feinstein, a California Democrat, introduced a bill on Thursday that would prohibit 157 specific weapons and ammunition magazines that have more than 10 rounds. The White House and fellow Democrats have doubts that the measure can pass because lawmakers facing reelection battles might fear pro-gun voters and the National Rifle Association.

The Farm at Our House
Our Produce
Crop List
Crop Profile
Contact Us
Work With Us
Wish List
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a fantastic way to support a local farm while getting the freshest organic produce available!
Members pay us a lump sum at the beginning of the year which we invest in seeds, soil, and equipment. When produce is ready, members receive our produce every week throughout the season. Unlike other CSA models, we do not pre-pack boxes of produce based on what is available. We display our produce and members choose what they like from that week's selection. We aim to provide CSA members with lots of choice and flexibility in order to maximize happiness and minimize waste!
We currently have three pickup options: The Farm at Our House Pickup, Silver Spring Market Pickup and Crystal City Market Pickup.
The Farm at Our House
(Wednesdays, 4-8pm, May-Nov., 19715 Zion Rd. Brookeville, MD 20833), you'll have your choice of 9 items from the selection of produce we've put on display each week at our CSA pickup shed on the farm. Our 27-week on-farm pickup season is split into three sessions, spring ($270), summer ($300), and fall ($240). You have the option of joining just one, two, or all of the sessions. When you visit the farm, you're welcome to check out the progress of the crops, visit the chickens, and chat with us about the farm or pick our brains about how to best prepare the veggies. Farm pickup members will also be given the option to add fruit or pastured broilers onto their shares.
At the
Silver Spring Market
(Saturdays 9-1, May-Dec., corner of Ellsworth & Georgia Ave.) and
Crystal City Market Pickup
(Tuesdays 3-7pm, May 1-Nov 20)
, you'll have a full market experience, can visit the market's other vendors, and choose whatever catches your eye that week. You can choose to join our market pickup at the $450, $600, or $750 level, and have flexibility for when and how to use your CSA member credit. Using a debit system, our members walk away from the stand with delicious organic vegetables and never open their wallets.
Pick-Your-Own Produce for all Members
All CSA members are welcome to the farm two days a week for pick-your-own produce from our ongoing you-pick list, which usually includes 3-6 seasonally abundant crops like snap beans, flowers, herbs, or cherry tomatoes.
Member Events
Our CSA members are invited to the farm for two special events, our farm tour day in May and our Member Appreciation potluck at the end of the season.
Members are not required to volunteer, but are welcome to! We offer a $50 rebate for members who volunteer 15 or more hours on the farm. We will arrange regular member volunteer days throughout the season.
Browse our options, and fill out and click 'submit' on the web form below if you'd like to apply for the CSA. If you have any questions, email us at

President Barack Obama keeps reassuring the nation that stopping the Gulf oil spill and limiting the fallout on the region are his top priority.
Yet so is protecting the country against attack. And getting people back to work.
Presidencies usually don't allow for a dominant priority — just a list of priorities.
During another hectic week, Obama made this promise: "This entire White House and this entire federal government has been singularly focused on how do we stop the leak and how do we prevent and mitigate the damage to our coastlines."
From the Gulf Coast on Friday, he said making the people and the ecosystems whole again "is our highest priority." It was not just a policy statement but a communications imperative.
Obama had to show that he's in charge of making it end. BP bears responsibility for the crisis. Obama now owns it. BP's latest effort to stop the flow by plugging the well with mud and cement was determined Saturday to have failed.
Yet what's next for the president will not be a single focus on the Gulf. His agenda ahead will be what it was: a juggle of priorities. Others will not wait while oil washes ashore in Louisiana.
"Clearly, people around here would like this crisis to recalculate his agenda," said Brian Brox, a political science professor at Tulane University in New Orleans. "They see this as nearly an existential crisis, the way the aftermath of Katrina was. I think on the national level, however, this will probably one of those multiple balls that (Obama) has up in the air."
And what's he juggling?
- The Koreas could be edging to war. The South accuses the North of sinking one of its warships.
- Israel's prime minister visits the White House on Tuesday as Obama presses peace talks with the Palestinians.
- The terror threat isn't going away, as seen by the failed car bombing in New York City this month.
- A international standoff with Iran over its nuclear program is hardening.
- The economic recovery doesn't feel like much of one to the millions who are jobless.
- A sweeping overhaul of financial regulation hangs in the balance. The White House hopes Congress can finish it by July.
- The president needs GOP support of two big initiatives, energy and immigration, but has little to show so far.
- Senators begin hearings in late June on his nominee for the Supreme Court, Elena Kagan.
- Fall elections are nearing, with Democrats facing losses and in need of campaign help from Obama.
Politics never stop, of course.
Just as Obama finished his Gulf tour Friday, the White House found itself off balance because of an embarrassing admission: It had proposed a political deal, in the form of unpaid job offer, to Rep. Joe Sestak, D-Pa., to get him to back off from his primary challenge to Sen. Arlen Specter, D-Pa. Sestak said no, stayed in the race and beat Specter.
Like presidents before him, Obama is having to work through unforeseen problems: offshore drilling and an environmental disaster, mine safety, the earthquake in Haiti, piracy off the Somali coast.
"One of the things you learn as president is because you've got this title, and you know, there's the plane and the helicopter and all that stuff, that people expect you to solve problems," Obama said Tuesday at a political fundraiser, yet another part of his job. "And when things go wrong, they're definitely going to blame you. If things go right, occasionally you might get the credit."
Obama's ability to calmly handle many competing issues simultaneously is viewed as one of his strengths.
He has tried to let everyone know that what's unfolding in the Gulf is more than a momentary crisis. The spill, he said Friday from Grand Isle, La., is nothing less than "an assault on our shores, on our people, on the regional economy, and on communities like this one."
The president is also fond of saying he will not rest until the problem at hand gets fixed. The trouble is that there's always more trouble.

4 Responses to "Obama's never-ending list of 'top' priorities"
With so many "top priorities", it levels every one of them to being coequal in terms of urgency. It's also a sign of the end time for the Republic.
When men and women discard honesty and ethics all in the interest in making a buck or two more at our collective expense, then we end up with these types of multiple crises. Most if not all of them have links back to corruption and cronyism as their root cause. If forthright honesty still had value in our times, few if any crises would be on the horizon.
"When you see that trading is done, not by consent but by compulsion, when you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing, when you see that money is flowing to those who deal not in goods but in favors, when you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work and your laws don't protect you against them, but protect them against you, when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice, you may know that your society is doomed." – Ayn Rand
Carl Nemo **==
A few choice quotes from Plato on this Memorial Day.
"The people always have some champion whom they set over them and nurse into greatness. This and no other is the root from which a tyrant springs; when he first appears he is a protector."
"There will be no end to the troubles of states, or of humanity itself, till philosophers become kings in this world, or till those we now call kings and rulers really and truly become philosophers, and political power and philosophy thus come into the same hands."
This article is a total piece of crap. Obama is going to go down as the worst president in history. It is a title he has worked so hard to achieve.
All the "Annointed One" (O'bummer) has to do is part the waters and we can use our orange Homer buckets to clean up the oil !!!

Apparently, even the tall and mighty are not immune to the auto world's version of the flu: recalls.
Volkswagen , one of the biggest automakers in the world has issued a huge recall involving five of its models that were manufactured during a five-year period from 2006 to 2010. The problem appears to be a small plastic tab on the windshield washer fluid reservoir that could chafe against the car's fuel supply line. The models affected by this problem include the Volkswagen Jetta , the Jetta Sportwagen , the Golf , and the Rabbit.
Meanwhile, another model – the New Beetle – has it's own set of problems involving a fastening clamp on its hydraulic hose that could also chafe against the car's fuel supply line.
These problems, if not treated immediately, could cause a fuel leak and at worst, the cars could also end up catching fire.
All in all, 228,236 models are affected by this problem. For their part, Volkswagen has already begun initiatives for the recall, which is expected to begin no later than January 31, 2011. If you have the Jetta, Golf, and Rabbit, service technicians will remove the plastic tab from the washer fluid reservoir. On the flip side, if you have the Beetle, service technicians will adjust the fastening clamp's position, steering it clear from the car's fuel supply line.
Should you have any questions regarding the recall, you can call Volkswagen at the 1-800-822-8987.

Should employers not hire you or fire you when they discover your bad credit history?
It has been a sad situation for me and many others in the USA (I don't know if this is an issue worldwide) I have great qualifications and work experience. Yet, in the majority of states you are obligated to submit to a criminal background check which is completely understandable, but that also includes a credit check. I understand that a credit check should be mandatory for executive, banking, casinos and industries directly involving money. Sadly, those of us with bad credit are being discriminated for regular jobs i.e. retail, call centers, customer service.
The government, banks and debt collectors wants their money, as they should. Yet, if you have bad credit, it's a lot harder to find a job making it impossible to get out of debt, let alone be a productive citizen.
This is an issue that is not widely discussed, I've searched online and there are some bills being proposed to end this discrimination but I don't think is really going anywhere.
I would like to have the TED community input in the most civil way possible.
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Feb 6 2013: I can empathize with your situation, but I do not see this as being on the same level as other Equal Employment Opportunity criteria.
I think credit checks became routine when unemployment went up and employers started getting double and triple the usual number of applicants. If you are facing forty applications and can dismiss twenty based on a credit check, you can cut your work in half, and perhaps fill a much needed position a day or two earlier.
This may seem unfair to people like yourself, but outlawing this practice would be unfair to employers. This country is suppose to be the land of the free and we are gradually losing our freedoms to regulation.
Feb 9 2013: No need to repeat yourself. Fortunately there are people like Gordon Barker who are fee to hire you because the government does not have the power to tell them what to do regarding every detail of hiring and firing employees. So all people with bad credit should continue to apply for jobs, and seek out employers like Mr. Barker.
Good luck.

Which 200 airports will lose their control towers?
Sequester budget cuts are about to hit small and regional facilities nationwide. Pilots will have to fend for themselves.
The agonizing wait continues for more than 200 small and regional airports around the country. Later this week, the Federal Aviation Administration will announce which air traffic control towers will be scheduled to shut down next month as part of $600 million in federal sequestration budget cuts required at the FAA for this fiscal year.
That announcement was supposed to be made on Monday, but it was pushed back to Friday after a huge number of appeals from targeted airports and their communities flooded in.
The FAA says most of the affected airports will remain open, with some halting operations only at night. And according to the Associated Press, pilots using those airports will be responsible for their own safety and will need to communicate with each other.
Some of those regional airports are quite busy. About 200 planes arrive and leave Easterwood Airport, outside College Station, Texas, daily. And pilot John Gil told KBTX-TV he's very concerned about not having someone manage air traffic there.
"When I came in, there were four people in front of me when I was landing and I couldn't see any of them," he said on Sunday, "so I was counting on the controller to let me know that they were there."
Trenton-Mercer Airport, one of three commercial airports in New Jersey, might also have to function with an empty control tower. Frontier Airlines began flying out of Trenton-Mercer late last year -- and several corporations, including Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) and Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMY) -- use the facility for business flights.
Mercer County Executive Brian Hughes says any cuts will not only affect the regional economy around Trenton-Mercer but will force the airport to operate at a slower pace due to the New Jersey area's heavy air traffic.
"It will lead to delays in the system," Hughes said in an interview with NJ.com. "We will have to rely on Philly FAA to guide planes into Trenton and then use visual flight rules. Clearly it's going to change the way we're able to use Trenton-Mercer airport and obviously they prefer to have air traffic control towers at the airport working."
Most of the control towers expected to close are run by private contractors under the FAA's decades-old Contract Tower Program. Last month, the U.S. Contract Tower Association called on Congress and the Obama Administration to find a way around these cuts.
"The Contract Tower Program has a well-established record of success in enhancing air safety and efficiency in communities across the country in a cost-effective manner to taxpayers," association Executive Director J. Spencer Dickerson said in a press statement.
"The prospect of closing nearly 195 contract towers nationwide along with 43 FAA-staffed towers because of sequestration is inconceivable given the very real impact it would have nationwide," he added, "and yet it appears to be a real possibility."
Sounds like a lot of saber rattling. Isn't this what the president wanted? The reason you haven't heard much from Obama in the last week or so is because his "painful as possible" plan is being implemented...slowly and quietly. As usual, the liberal press isn't paying attention. He'll blame the Republican Party very soon. It's what he does.
Amazing that those who can afford their own planes want those who can't to help pay for the air traffic controllers.

There is no doubt in my mind that we will see an aircraft accident sooner or later as a result of this bad situation brought about by our "elected officials" in Washington paying more attention to padding their own pockets and worrying about reelection than in doing their jobs. I hope that when that accident happens, the families of those lost will sue each and every Congress man and woman for dereliction of duty and directly causing this ridiculous situation.
