Pet Photos with Santa
Many dogs are uncomfortable with the holiday picture frenzy
Please note comments are moderated. After being approved your comment will appear below.

I was the photographer last year for a one day photo session of pets with Santa. The only reason it worked was that 'my' Santa was a total dog person (he arranged the session and recruited me). And we did a 'come pick up your photos' date, not a 'leave with your photos' session. I also emailed photos for people if they wanted them. That allowed me to fire off lots of shots and pick the best one(s). There were some nervous dogs, there were three dogs at a time, even! We got the shots, though! Having the time to look through them and crop as needed was the key. Of course, Santa had anal glads released on him by one dog, and he took it in stride. 'My' Santa was a very special one!

Following a day dedicated to showcasing Ty Law to all fans and media, the Jets newest addition did his best disappearing act.
After coming onto the field for drills in todays morning session at Hofstra he left the field rather discreetly on two separate occasions. When he reappeared he paced the sidelines, helmet in hand.
Dont expect much more from Law in the near future. Head coach Herman Edwards has a plan for Law, one that includes him getting back into game shape. Laws absence on the field had him in the Jets facility working out with strength and conditioning coach Markus Paul.
For now, Law will only participate in drills and will not take part in full-squad drills anytime soon. Edwards wants Law to observe practice and get an understanding of what the team wants him to do. It is not a matter of his foot hampering him, rather getting game-ready, said Edwards.
Its just a matter of where hes at at this point, he said. Obviously he came off of surgery. Hes starting to get into shape. Hes working out.
When Law does make it into practice he will be on the same regimen QB Chad Pennington is on, which is one practice a day. Law will be sit out of this Fridays preseason opener.
I dont think hes going to practice for at least a couple days, defensive coordinator Donnie Henderson said. [His return] will be whenever he can get himself into football condition.
A lot of it is based on shape. Right now I dont know what kind of shape hes in physically. Once he gets into physical condition well be OK.
Henderson is looking forward to Laws return to the field. The four-time Pro Bowler gives the defense a shutdown corner for the first time in recent history and its best corner since Aaron Glenn.
If hes at 100 percent, Laws presence can take away half the field. Matching up against a teams best wide out is likely, but Henderson likes his options.
It means I have flexibility now, he said. If Ty Law wants to say, Donnie, give me their best guy, Ill say Ty if you want it, you could take it. It gives us a true cover guy.
Law could be pitted against a teams best receiver in man-to-man coverage, allowing the Henderson to roll coverages to David Barretts side. Likewise, Law could oppose a teams second receiver while the top dog gets double covered.
I can do what I want now. Why waste your best guy on their best guy? Henderson said.
Jonathan Vilma is realized the impact it will have on the entire defense, specifically freeing up the second-year linebacker to be able to prowl.
For me Im not going to have to worry about rolling any coverages or anything like that. Whatever Donnie has in store for us; well probably play a little looser, [and] be more aggressive, Vilma said.
Vilma wont be free to roam as Laws return is on hold, but when he does return, Law is looking forward to learning. Who said you cant teach an old dog new tricks?
I understand that coach Henderson is a very aggressive defensive coordinator, Law said, and thats something Im looking forward to adding to my expertise.
Name game. If youre headed to the Jets preseason opener against the Lions this Friday, youd best bring your media guide. Coach Herm Edwards plans on playing most of the younger players to give them a chance to showcase what they can do. He will be holding out a laundry list of talent, too.
QB Chad Pennington will not play and it is unclear when he will make his preseason debut. Pennington had his left leg tapped during yesterdays afternoon practice and this morning after getting taking a cleat to his calf, Edwards said. Backup Jay Fielder will get the start while third-stringer Brooks Bollinger will get the bulk of the work.
WRs Jonathan Carter and Wayne Chrebet, both nagged by hamstring injuries, will also sit out.
On the defensive side, CB Ty Law will not play Friday and his timetable for game action is uncertain. Rookie Justin Miller will start in Law's place. Eric Barton will be held out of practice all week with tendonitis in his right knee. Barton has been hampered most of training camp but Edwards denied Barton would need his knee scoped. LB Kenyatta Wright is still on the Physically Unable to Perform list with a foot sprain.
No Comment. After tempers flared at Albany in a joint practice against the Giants, several of their players have said that possible retaliation may happen when the two teams meet again in Aug. 26.
Defensive coordinator Donnie Henderson, who exchanged words with Giants head coach Tom Coughlin, grew short-tempered when being asked if his defense crossed the line.
What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas, Henderson said, referring to the TV commercial while repeatedly refusing to field questions on the subject.
Im not going to get into that, Coach Edwards said.
Jets fans may not want the Giants to be too physical, recalling the Jets and Giants preseason history. In the 1997 meeting then star CB Jason Sehorn tore his ACL, essentially ending his career as a an elite corner. In 2002, QB Chad Pennington broke his left wrist in the Jets final preseason game on a tackle by Giants LB Brandon Short.
Jets Insider.com will do an online fan chat with 1050 ESPN Radio Jets Beat Reporter Peter Schwartz this Thursday (8/11) at 8PM in the Jets Insider Chatroom.
Schwartz, who is one of the most knowledgable reporters covering the team and is also a true Jets fan will take your questions and get you up to speed on everything going on at Jets camp.
Thursay's chat is open to everyone. You only need to be registered on the JI Fan Forums to access the chatroom.
As usual, QB Chad Pennington had the morning off but will practice this afternoon. LB Eric Barton, WR Jonathan Carter and WR Wayne Chrebet will rest most of this week to hopefully get over nagging injuries.
CB Ty Law (foot): Day to day.
LB Eric Barton (knee): Day to day.
WR Jonathan Carter (hamstring): Day To day.
WR Wayne Chrebet (hamstring): Day to day.
The team returns to the field this afternoon for practice at 3:30 p.m. Check back to Jets Insider.com often for all the latest training camp news.

Investigators are probing the cause of a fire that tore through a Cobb County apartment complex early on Friday morning.
Firefighters say the building at the Charters Square Apartment Homes on Old Concord Road was engulfed in flames when they got there. Crews had to lay hoses from the main road because the complex has no fire hydrants.
"First units arrived, they reported heavy fire showing from the front of the building, coming out of the front door. They were able to make a quick attack on it, get the fire knocked down," said Captain Bill Johnson of the Cobb County Fire Department.
One family was displaced by the fire, and no was hurt.

John Burkoff on Possible Self-Defense Claim in Washington County Shooting
Professor John Burkoff commented on a possible self-defense argument in a recent Washington County killing. The incident began as a road rage argument, which seems to have escalated to a physical altercation. The man who was killed is said to have punched the shooter, who then obtained a pistol and shot the first man. According to Professor Burkoff, "[i]t could be you are faced with some kind of force, but you're not always allowed to use deadly force against people. You can only use (deadly force) if it is necessary to defend yourself."

|Welcome to Clinics Can Help - CCH
Doesn't everyone know somebody that has a wheelchair in their closet, or a hospital bed in their garage or other durable medical equipment in a storage space?
Answer: It shouldn't be.
And why is it so hard to get the medical equipment you need, when you need it, but do not have the money or insurance to rent or obtain it.
Answer: It doesn't have to be.
Surplus Durable Medical Equipment (DME) is in abundance in Palm Beach County and most people who have DME they no longer need want to donate it to those who need it most.
Until CCH was formed, there was no single agency able to connect the great surplus of medical equipment with the pediatric and adult patients in need of it in Palm Beach County, Florida.
At Clinics Can Help we believe every person has the right to quality medical care and access to quality medical equipment is part of that care. If you need a wheelchair, hospital bed, or other medical equipment and can't afford it, CCH will do our best to get one for you. For a comprehensive sample listing, click here »
We always do our best to keep the items you need in stock. Most items are readily available for same-day pick up, but some items may not be immediately available. While most of our clients are referred by local organizations we recommend you call prior to coming to our office to pick-up equipment to check on availability. Equipment items can be placed on "hold" for up to 48 hours for client pick-up.
To arrange a loan of equipment, simply call us at (561) 640-2995 or come to our West Palm Beach office for more information or to complete our simple application.

2009 Recap: Ted Lilly
The Cubs did have one player this season that exceeded my expectations this season, and that is Theodore Roosevelt Lilly. What can you say about the lefty that isn't good? He plays hard, pitches well and leads in the clubhouse. That is just about the perfect player in my book. Now, if Jim Hendry's other moves would pay off like Lilly did. Well, maybe Hendry could end up the ER while signing players, because it seemed to work this time.
Lilly only won 12 games, but much of that was because of his time on the DL in July. He ended up with a 3.10 ERA and an even more impressive 1.06 WHIP. That's just insane for a guy, who just turned 33. He lowered his ERA by almost an entire run this year, and it's just too bad the Cubs wasted another player's career year (or at least one of the best of his career).
The Cubs have a problem now. I can't imagine that Lilly will be as good as this next season, but nobody expected him to be this good this year. It goes without saying that he won't be any better next season, because that just doesn't happen in the non-steroid era.
One thing I love about Lilly is that he is clearly a clubhouse leader for the Cubs. It's not beneath him to argue an Ump on a day off, or lobby for Reed Johnson
by wearing a T-Shirt. Kurt argued the merits of team aces yesterday, and I think Lilly is the closest thing to an ace the Cubs have right now. He makes his starts and is vocal. Also, he seems to get better as the years go on, but can he continue this trend in 2010? Who knows, but of all the problems the Cubs have in the starting rotation, I don't think Lilly will be one of them next year.

We had so much original and inspiring music that Paul and I resolved that we should, in early fall, share with you, the congregation, at least some of that treasure. I wrote a sermon directed to those leaders of church music from all over the country, and the response was heartening--but I can't repeat that because you all aren't music directors! But the sermon was about claiming our spiritual freedom, and that does apply to everyone. Fear not, the title does not indicate that it is a Mitch Albom novel!"

DOVER, Del.- A Maryland fugitive is behind bars leading Dover police officers on a chase through the city early Tuesday afternoon.
William Black, 39, of Chestertown, Md., is charged with possession of a firearm by a person prohibited, possession of ammunition by a person prohibited, possession of a stolen firearm, possession of drug paraphernalia, disregarding a police officer's signal, reckless driving, second-degree reckless endangering and aggressive driving.
Dover police said Black's arrest stemmed from an incident that occurred at around 12:30 p.m. Tuesday, when officers responded to the Sleep Inn on North DuPont Highway to investigate a report of a handgun left inside one of the rooms.
Officers said they found a .25-caliber handgun, and both .25 and 9mm ammunition, along with multiple items of drug paraphernalia in the room. According to police, an investigation revealed that Black had possessed those items. Officers awaited his return to the hotel after determining that he was a person prohibited from possessing a firearm. Police said that when Black returned to the hotel and spotted the officers, he fled in a vehicle and nearly struck one of them.
Police said Black led officers on a car chase that ended in the parking lot of the Wal-Mart north of Dover. Black was taken into custody and found to be a fugitive from Maryland. Following his arrest on the aforementioned charges, he was ordered held in the James T. Vaughn Correctional Center in default of $17,500 secured bond.

This conversation is closed.
Are you happier while at the computer, or while taking a walk?
By "taking a walk", I do mean taking a walk, even if just for a short while; not walking while engaging with a smart device. So, what's your experience?
P.S.: Just in case some of you misunderstand, the question is not meant so that we choose one over the other. (We do both anyhow, don't we?) It's not even so that we decide which one is better. It's about self-discovery. What's true for you? If you like to take it further, asking why would be great.
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Sep 28 2013: Thanks to all who joined this conversation. Happy to see some of you give clear, direct answers (which I believe would help you in some ways). Some however skirted the question, and just philosophized instead. I'm thinking: Isn't examining the reality of your experience more valuable than mere philosophy?
I'm reminded by these words by Socrates (or maybe Plato): Life unexamined is not worth living. Might sound a bit harsh to some. I love it though.
Sep 28 2013: Dear Kumāra,
I am curious again....always.....all ways:>)
Are you judging comments? Is this a test?
You write... "Some of you give clear, direct answers (which I believe would help you in some ways). Some however skirted the question, and just philosophized instead. I'm thinking: Isn't examining the reality of your experience more valuable than mere philosophy?"
Perhaps people examine their/our life experiences in different ways? Perhaps philosophizing is one way for some people to get in touch with their/our own thoughts, feelings, ideas, and perceptions? Are you suggesting that one way of examining life experiences is more or less valuable than another way of examining life experiences?
Sep 29 2013: Kumāra,
Thinking about how a leaf might feel may be as good as experiencing it by touch. I have a pretty good imagination, a foundation of happiness/contentment, and we never know for sure how something may feel to another person.
I agree that some people may use philosophizing as an avoidance strategy, and some may use it as a way to get in touch with their honest, deeper feelings. We don't know, for sure what is going on in the heart and mind of others, unless they choose to share that information with us.
To assume that some commenters on this thread use philosophizing to avoid the topic.....as you say..." Some however skirted the question", suggests that you may be avoiding looking at the question/answer in a different way?
In my perception, if a person joins a conversation s/he is not trying to avoid anything, and can maybe offer a different perspective:>)
Sep 29 2013: Thanks for asking that. No, not any particular answer. And actually I do wish that people would answer the question while looking at it in a unique way--even if it's just to themselves (which some apparently did, as all they did was to give the question a thumbs up). Some however never answered it.

2 Value BioPharmacetuicals for Your Portfolio
Mohsin is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
In my recent articles, I have highlighted that investor's love for the biopharmaceutical industry has ensured huge returns for some stocks. While this attention is good for the industry and investors have made a lot of money, it becomes pretty hard to find good solid value investments. Therefore I have tried to find a couple of good bargains which have still gone unnoticed and offer exciting opportunity for prospective investors.
Alexion Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: ALXN)
Alexion is Biopharmaceutical Company which focuses on discovery, development and commercialization of therapeutics for ultra-rare disorders in USA, Latin America, Asia Pacific and Europe. The company focuses on the areas of hematology, nephrology, neurology, metabolic disorders, oncology, and ophthalmology. Its major product is Soliris which is being used for the treatment of paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) and is currently in Phase IV trials for the treatment of aHUS for pediatric/adults and PNH registry.
The stock is currently trading at a forward P/E of 25x and an extremely low PEG of 0.88x. The street expects Alexion to report an EPS of $ 2.9 for 2013 and $3.34 for 2014. The company has beaten analyst's estimates with its last four earnings. Considering the very low PEG of Alexion we can use a P/E of 30x to reach a target price of $87 for 2013 and $100 for 2014. The mean sell side target price for the company is $114, a 35% premium to current valuations. The stock is also trading at a 40% discount to its 52 week price of $119. The valuations show that the company is trading at a significant discount, especially considering its ability to consistently beat analysts target prices.
Incyte (NASDAQ: INCY)
Incyte is a Biopharmaceutical company focused on the development, discovery and commercialization of treatments for inflammation and oncology. Its primary drug is JAKAFI which is an oral janus associated kinase inhibitor for the cure of myelofibrosis (MF). The primary drug candidate still in clinical trials is INCB18424 which is still in Phase III clinical trials. The drug is being tested for thrombocythemia, polycythemia, hematologic malignancies and pancreatic cancer.
The company is currently trading at a 16% discount to mean sell side target price of $25. The company has given investors a return of 25% in the last one year and 54% in the last 2 years. The stock is also trading at a discount of 20% to its 52 weeks high of $26. Incyte is very well placed in the MF market and is looking to build a stake in the Rheumatoid Arthritis market with its candidate barcitinib.
Incyte will control the competition to JAKAFI for another 2 years but there is a potential threat from Gilead (NASDAQ: GILD). Gilead is one of the world's largest biopharmaceuticals involved primarily in formulating treatments for viral diseases such as Hepatitis and Aids. The company has recently acquired YM Biosciences for a whopping $510 million. This acquisition was made primarily for YM Bioscience's drug candidate CYT387. The candidate is being tested for the treatment for myelofibrosis, which makes it a direct competitor to JAKAFI. Gilead will be taking the candidate into pivotal late-stage clinical trials during the second half of 2013. The announcements of these trials would be positive catalyst for Gilead stock price and can potentially negatively affect the stock price of Incyte.

Kalamazoo, MI (WKZO) – The Mid-American Conference announced today that Western Michigan head men's basketball coach Steve Hawkins has been named 201-3-14 MAC Coach of the year, after receiving 16 of 25 votes from the media.
In his 11th season as head coach at Western Michigan, Hawkins led the Broncos to a 21-9 overall record and the sixth MAC regular season championship in program history, as well as the top seed in the 2014 MAC Tournament. Hawkins becomes the third coach in program history to be named MAC Coach of the Year, joining Eldon Miller (1976) and Bob Donewald (1992).
During his tenure, Hawkins has led the Broncos to 20+ wins six times, won seven MAC West Titles, and his .617 winning percentage in MAC games ranks seventh in conference history. Earlier this season, Hawkins notched his 200th wins as head coach of the Broncos, making him one of just eight coaches in MAC history to surpass 200 wins, and also recorded his 100th career MAC win against Toledo on Jan. 8th.
In addition to naming the coach of the year, the MAC also announced its player of the year. Buffalo's Javon McCrea took home the honors, but Western Michigan senior's David Brown and Shayne Whittington came in the second and third, respectively. McCrea received 20 votes, while Brown received four votes and Whittington received just a single vote. Brown and Whittington were also both named to the MAC All-First Team earlier this week.

Great customer service The dress was too big. I bought in on line and returned it to a local TB store who returned it and arranged for the delivery of the correct size. May 17, 2014
Material is poor I love everything I see in your store and catalogue but this item described it as having stretch, etc and I expected it to be the travel material like so much of your products, and it is not very much more than a T-shirt material. Yes it is a good cut, drapes nice, etc, but for the price it is MUCH too light to make into a full dress. It should be made of a heavier material. Very disappointed that I begged for it for Christmas, as my first catalogue item. January 11, 2014

WWE Smackdown Vs. Raw 2008 (Wii)
Pro wrestling is odd thing to recreate in a videogame because it?s the only sport where the videogame version is not only more competitive, but also more realistic, than the ?sport? being simulated. While pro wrestling pretends it?s real, the main skill of these giant brutes isn?t athletics; it?s acting. No, not the dialogue, the threats, the ?soap opera? storylines, or even the ill-considered Hollywood moonlighting. We mean the kind of acting involved in pretending you?re being punched in a circular arena.
So, in its way, WWE SmackDown vs. Raw: 2008 is what happens inside the heads of fans. The fights are real, the damage is real, and that makes the videogame version of this comic book sport compelling even to people who hate the spandex gladiators. As the first wrestling game for the Nintendo Wii, you?d think this one would be a natural. You?d be wrong. In an effort to maybe simplify, they?ve instead gutted the game.
Missing is the new 24/7 mode and all the new submissions and power moves from the console version. There?s also no multiplayer, and the controls have been reduced to the now familiar Wii waggle.
Move the remote down to punch, hold different buttons for different kinds of moves, and use the Nunchuk to navigate. Performing strings of the same move can produce special moves but usually doesn?t. In fact, the game is much harder if you?re trying to do things. If you just move your arms and push buttons, things happen! But it?s very hard to truly claim one player is better than another, and the loser rarely feels like they had a fighting chance.
The only modes the Wii version offers are single, hardcore, tag, triple threat and KO matches. In lieu of the 24/7 mode on other systems there?s a spare attempt at a story. It?s called Main Event, and all it lets you do is pick a wrestler, then fight three opponents. Lather, rinse, repeat until you?re wearing a belt or have moved on to a better game.
The graphics are alright. The engine looks to be based on the PlayStation 2 version, and even considering the limitations of the Nintendo Wii, the game is still plagued with collision detection problems and dropped animations. Commentary is abysmal, with repeated phrases and other nonsense that has little or nothing to do with the match at hand.
The artificial intelligence is about as smart as your average wrestler, which makes the single-player game an exercise in frustration, particularly in tag-team matches. The best example of this is in matches that for some reason feature a ladder when there is nothing up there for you to get. Watching a wrestler ascend and descend while accomplishing nothing happens too often.
On the Wii, WWE SmackDown vs. Raw has made an inauspicious debut. Rather than build it from scratch for the Wii?s unique control system, the developers took a game for the PS2, gutted it, and then tacked on a Wii control scheme. Let?s hope for a serious rehabilitation next year.
This review was based on a retail copy of the game provided by the publisher.

Slacklining is a hybrid of the ancient highlining tradition and rock climbing. In the early 1980s, Yosemite climbers Adam Grosowsky and Jeff Ellington began walking across a slim climbing cable a few feet removed from the ground. Accounts tell of them juggling, mounting via handstand and "surfing" the line by swinging from left to right - impressive tricks even by today's standards.
In fact, just to maintain balance on the cable and continue moving demands focus and discipline despite the ease some walkers exhibit. Bobby Kinnare '08 described his process of successfully getting from the ground to balancing on the line. "I stop thinking about everything around me while I find the center of the line with my foot," Kinnare said. "When standing up on the line, you have to trust yourself entirely because at first all your weight is on your grounded foot, and in an instant you have to shift all your weight onto your foot on the line."
During my first attempt, seasoned slackliners supported me by holding my hands as I walked back and forth barefoot, giggling. I gradually tried to wean my dependence on their help, but standing independently is, I discovered, wildly difficult.
Firstly, the webbing I walked on had a degree of springiness that, while fun to bounce in place on, made balancing an elusive feat. I tried to focus on a point directly on the tree in front of me, center myself, and keep my weight back, but success was not mine. Though proceeding with caution and determination, I couldn't get rid of my "seriously-I'm-concentrating-but-I-know-it's-hopeless" face because, lets be honest, mastering or even walking on a slackline takes an admirable amount of patience and persistence.
This point is not lost on Kyle Flesness '09. Flesness took up slacklining earlier this year. "I just really got into slacklining about three weeks ago. It is really hard at first and it took me awhile to be able to stand for even a few seconds. But the cool thing about it is that if you stick with it, you will improve rapidly," he said.
Worldwide interest has steadily accrued in the quarter-century since the sport's inception. Recently, slackliners from the United States, Britain, Poland, Sweden and Germany gathered at slacklining's Mecca, Yosemite's Lost Arrow Spire, to traverse the legendary distance. The highest slackline walk of 1000 meters was made in Kjerag, Norway, while the longest walk of 154.29 meters was made in Munich, Germany. The activity's association with climbing and its simple construction contributes to its global practice.
Slacklining's extreme accessibility and limited expenses also account for its popularity, especially on college campuses. All that's required are two carabineers (three to be safe), a general rope to fasten and keep taut the climbing rope (at most thirty yards long), and cardboard to protect the tree from the contraption.
Kits are sold, too. One can purchase various types from different sources ranging in price from $40 to $230 and length from 30 to 100 feet. Last September, Adam Bryant reported in the New York Times that kit sales have been increasing exponentially, citing the case of slacklineexpress.com owner Joe Kuster, whose sales of slacklining gear have increased fivefold over the past year. Clearly, slacklining is becoming more commonplace.
The community nature of slacklining has also contributed to the sport's success. People usually learn to slackline from others because the nature of the activity requires assistance the first try. (Actually, assistancemay be required the first ten or twenty times.) The fact that one generally needs others before being able to successfully slackline independently is conducive to creating a community of mutual support.
"Slacklining is more about personal accomplishment than competing against others. It's great to set a line up on a beautiful day and have everyone cheering for each other. The whole attitude makes you want to be a part of it," Kinnare said.
After learning in the forests of Tennessee the summer before coming to St. Olaf, Paul Peterson '09 set up his slackline on Ellingon's lawn his first year and eventually attracted others. "Some people joined me and learned a bit. Some people eventually went out and bought their own lines," Peterson said. "When people saw us slacklining outside of Ellingson, they introduced us to others who also slacklined at Olaf."
Kinnare highlighted the distinct way the sport spreads. "Slacklining is unique in the fact that there is no organization to join, or a coach to pass down his or her wisdom. People who have experience slacklining love teaching others, especially those who have never tried it. In this way, slacklining is kept alive like a tradition," he said. Indeed, the first few times walking the line is akin to walking on water.
Even for practiced slackliners, maintaining balance while on the line can be a struggle. The exercise is a positive way to engender agility and achieve a meditative state of mind. Peterson attributes this "moving meditation" to the intensity of the focused." All your energy is concentrating on one task: balancing on the line. You will fall as soon as you think about something else around you," Peterson said.
Slacklining requires that the entire body be used to ensure stability on the line. Yet, as Peterson points out, this challenging endeavor benefits people when they're in other positions that demand dexterity. "It's a good way to challenge yourself mentally. You push yourself and your friends to whatever new balancing act you all can dream of," he said.
Laura Oliver '09 works at a YMCA ropes course in Sioux Falls, S.D., where adolescents contemplate the correspondence between their experience slacklining and making everyday decisions. The idea is to demonstrate how much more difficult walking the line is without help, and the drastic difference offering a bit of support makes.
"The kids comment on what a huge difference it made when someone offered a hand. We talk about how easy it is to offer just one hand to help someone yet what a huge difference it can make for that person. The kids usually comment that it felt good to help someone," said Oliver, who adds that like most activities at the ropes course, slacklining "is about much more than the physical accomplishment itself."
Whatever your motives for slacklining are, the sport offers a unique opportunity to socialize with your friends, walk the line and, eventually, fall on your face.

You can make more money as the manager of a fast food restaurant than as a licensed social worker with a master's degree, according to a new survey. The 2011 Behavioral Health Salary Survey found that addiction treatment and mental health professionals are paid much lower salaries than their counterparts in other healthcare sectors.
The survey, released by the National Council for Community Behavioral Healthcare (National Council), included more than 850 mental health and addictions treatments organizations. The results indicate that the median salary of a direct care worker in a 24-hour residential treatment center is $23,000 a year compared with $25,589 for an assistant manager at Burger King.
The survey also found that the yearly salary range for a chief medical officer at a behavioral health organization is $101,000–$150,000, much lower than the national average of $183,947–$292,395 for the same position in other types of healthcare organizations. Social workers employed in a mental health-addictions treatment organization also make less than their colleagues in general health care agencies.

STORY: Victorian England is about to go wild…
Lady Ophelia longs to be independent, daring and bold, but her mother's illness has stolen the last of her creative fire. Condemned to an isolated country cottage after the death of her idealistic father, she and her mother are forsaken by family and all of society. Disappointed by those she once trusted, Lady Ophelia lovingly nurses her dying mother knowing that her own dreams of being an artist will never be realized. That is until she meets a devilish aristocrat who reawakens her desire to be wild.
Viscount Stark has never known love. Reputed to be a rebel and a rake by all, at heart he is anything but. When he meets Lady Ophelia, he is struck by her haunting presence, dignity, and honor. Will he continue to play his wicked games and risk ruining the last of Lady Ophelia's wounded heart? Or will he dare to be the gentleman he always wanted to be and unveil a love he never thought possible?
"You're a perfect stranger," she said.
"I came upon you for a reason, or are you one of those strange modern people who believe that all is at random?" He stroked back a lock of damp, fiery red hair clinging to her cheek. "That there is no order, and that the soul is a figment of our desperate pinings for meaning to our seemingly meaningless world?"
"You speak the words of a poet," she whispered.
"And you shall have consumption if we don't get you out of these soaked garments." He set her down, making certain her feet had found purchase upon the soft earth before turning her and working at the lacings of her gown.
"What are you doing?" she gasped.
"Ensuring you don't die of exposure."
"By taking off my frock?"
"Yes, and giving you my coat." His usually sure fingers stumbled over the lacings. How many women had he extricated from their far more elaborate clothes? More than he could ever recall. But this woman? Trepidation dumbed his movements. "Then I shall see you home. Is that acceptable?"
She hesitated then replied,"It seems logical."
"I am nothing if not logical," he teased.
"I somehow doubt that, sir."
"My lord, actually," he corrected.
"I beg your pardon?"
Slowly, carefully, painfully, he worked the laces of her bodice, not daring to allow his fingers to wander over her delicate back as he exposed her flesh. With each inch of damp undergarment he exposed, he found his brain flying off and something quite different taking over his actions. And it wasn't exactly lust. Lust he knew quite well, and this burning was not just one of bodily desire, but the mystifying possibility that he had found a better reflection to his damaged soul. Could fate be at work here? The circumstances certainly were remarkable.
He leaned in, bending his head down to accommodate for the several inches of difference in their heights, and whispered, "My lord Viscount Stark, if you must know."
She tensed but didn't pull from his grasp. "How fortunate for you, my lord viscount."
The fabric of her gown peeled away from her corset and chemise, which had become transparent. He ached to slip his fingers beneath the thin fabric and caress the delicate skin of her back, but he refrained. "Yes, it is. I promised whilst you were in the river to tell you who I am. No prince, alas."
Her shoulders straightened, a strange prickliness giving her body starch. "Princes, I should think, are far and few between."
"So are lords."
"Lords seem to be everywhere," she countered, a brittle note to her voice.
"You know many?"
"I know enough."
"Enough to have clearly harbored an unfavorable disposition toward them?" he observed dryly.
"Please, just continue on with your task." She shivered, and a delightful display of chilled skin mirrored what she might look like when overcome with desire. It was a damned appealing image.
He teased his fingers along the base of the wool bodice, inching it away from her white corset and chemise, sliding it down her arms. "You can continue to call me sir or mister, if it gives you more pleasure."
She tossed her head at that, her hair, the color of the setting sun, flying over his hands. "What I call you does not change who you are."
The feel of her slightly wet, silken locks stole his breath. The waist-length strands spilled over his fingers. He longed to wind them with his palm, grip her nape and take her sweetness in a wicked kiss. "I suppose not. What shall I call you?"
"Ophelia, of course."
He frowned. There was more to her name. He felt certain of it. "Yes, but—"
"Plain Ophelia will do."
"You could hardly ever be called plain."
She snorted.
She was so unlike the other women of his acquaintance, fanciful and strange. He couldn't help himself. He liked her. Andrew gazed down at her through heavy-lidded eyes, the air about them growing tangible with his growing desire for her.
"Come now,"he said. "Has no one ever told you of your beauty?"
She flushed, heady at his nearness. Whether she realized it or not, she tilted her head back slightly, her lips parting, baring the slightest hint of pink tongue. "You are so. . ."
"Handsome?" he teased.
Andrew drew her to him and lowered his mouth to hers. Unthinking, he took her lips, kissing with a softness he had not felt in a decade. It made no sense, the desire to meld her body to his own.
The taste of her was sweet, mint leaves and unsurety, as she gasped against his assault. Her hands gripped his arms, hard at first, but then she yielded, her body pliant.
A pleasure so great he could scarce countenance it overwhelmed him. She was the answer to his unknowing pleas that he find solace in this broken world.
And how could he ever let that go?
REVIEW: Let me start this review by addressing the cover. I'm not a fan of this cover but I am a HUGE fan of this author. I've read, or more like gobbled up, everything she's written so far and I'm sure I always will.
Even though she's an 'up and coming' romance author, she is someone to watch out for. Her writing style is unique as much as her characters are; her stories are well written, researched and plotted while she still manages to populate them with characters that are strong, appealing and intriguing.
This is a short novella that does an excellent job in introducing us to the new Wicked Games series, and I could go on in praising Ms. Claremont's skills in telling a compelling, touching and heart wrenching story of two people who are thirsting, craving affection and love, which they finally satisfy with each other, but I'll leave that for the other reviewers.
What I want to do here is use this opportunity and tell you why this novella was written and try to compel you to buy it.
You see, this author wrote it to raise $10,000 for donation to Hospice. Many of you may not know, but her mother and father died losing their battle with cancer, both spending some months on Hospice. She says "It's such an incredible organization and I don't know how my mom or dad and I would have made it without the support of the staff. It's wonderful that so many people raise money for cancer prevention! But I also think it's important to help those who've sadly reached a point in which terminal illness is the reality. Death is expensive and painful. Thankfully Hospice helps with nursing, counselors, medication, and sometimes even bills. They provide relief for the caretaker. I can't tell you how huge that is. I'm sure many of you already know. So, together, let's help make the crossing over of a terminally ill person a little more peaceful, a little more loving, a little more free of fear."
Now, how can we not help after such a heartwarming plea? I for one am honored to do so, especially after having a personal knowledge of what Hospice is all about. I had my mother, mother-in-law and my aunt benefit from the loving care of wonderful people from Hospice. While I hope to God you never have to go through what our families did, I also pray that if you do, you may be assured that Hospice is an organization that will always be there for you, as it was for us.
This novella is ONLY 0.99 cents. I can honestly say I've managed to spend [read waste] many times that amount on so many crap purchases it would make your head spin if I tried to name it here! Hell, dollar store is my vice [don't judge!], however this time my 'dollar' purchase will be going toward a worthy cause and that makes me feel warm all over! So, get on that Amazon and go for that feeling yourself, and while you're at it, why not gift it to someone who never read Máire Claremont's work before? That's another warm feeling we Bookworms have, hooking our friends on authors we love! And I love this one!

AUTHOR BIO: here.
PERSONAL NOTE from Máire:
My dearest readers!
While I had the misfortune to lose both of my parents to cancer, I did have the fortune to have assistance from Hospice. WithoutHospice, I don't know how I or my parents would have coped. So often we focus on recovery, working on projects to raise money for cures which is wonderful, but some people will never be able to recover and Hospice provides them and their families with an invaluable service. Hospice's support of family, the ill person, and their knowledge of death and dying is so necessary in our society. Right now, they need donations desperately as many of the non-profit hospices are facing cuts. Lady Wild was written largely while my mother was dying and it became incredibly important to me to honor her and the organization which made her death a peaceful experience. I would be so grateful for any help in spreading the word about Lady Wild.
My goal is to raise $10,000 in profits for Hospice and their mission to provide comfort and compassion to those facing advanced illnesses.

And the real WTF is of course Norton. *spit*
Please open this comment here:
my Norton blocked.. sorry
Installing and then *uninstalling* the antivirus ? Those things are good enough for curing, but not for preventing ? Or it's known for a fact that nobody will ever receive a virus by mail again ?
Amazing :)
Ha ha ha - this is a very good example of how an untrained and full of himself person can ruin a company. :))
He doesn't use antivirus, remember? Leaving Norton on the machines would be tantamount to admitting he's a clueless noob, and besides, he's only got a limited number of installation licences he can use...
I love when people say 'oh he/she has been doing it for X years, they know what they're doing.'
Terrible assumption to make. People can skate by for many years being incompetent.
This was immediately what to John?
John should be happy that his VPN idea got shot down.
Otherwise he too would be installing and uninstalling Norton (hork! pfht!!) on all his desktops and servers.
I just immediately the whole VPN... is this dangerous?
No, putting Norton on the machines in the first place was "tantamount to admitting he's a clueless noob". Removing it was an attempt to destroy the evidence of his cluelessness, so at least that made sense.
From John's reaction to Dave not having antivirus, it sounds like John's half of the network wouldn't be having a problem at all.
If he was excited about a 19" monitor, it's possible this was before Norton sucked.
I call shenanigans - Norton never blocks any bad traffic.
This sounds like the perfect time to call the BSA because I bet you dollars to donuts (mmm..... donuts) that Dave was using the same copies of Norton on multiple machines.
If you've ever read "Little Big Man" there's a part where the main character is out in the desert with an old prospector and things aren't going well at all. To paraphrase quite badly, just because you've been doing something a long time doesn't make you good at it. You can be terrible for a very long time.
Dave on conference call sounds like an office game to me. Try to get him wound up and have a pool on how long he'll rant. If you can't change it, find a way to turn it to your own entertainment.
Epicor, is that you?

Heh heh
Some people get 20 years of experience, others get 1 year of experience 20 times.
Experience is one indicator of competence but by no means the only one.
"the better part of a half-decade"
So, like, 3 years?
I lived through the exact same situation - only with CVS.
He would not budge. Said the code-versioning was not needed. He lost 1 month of work that would've been saved and STILL didn't implement it.
OMG... This is so true... When holyer than thou, fucking as wholes show up I just think of this... http://www.thinkgeek.com/tshirts-apparel/unisex/itdepartment/6692/... Makes life all better course, it doesn't work always but most of the time I just start cracking up...
You can uninstall norton?
Norton already sucked when 15" monitors were exciting.
I love dealing with idiots like this. These people usually know jack shit but are in a position of power because they're good friends with the owner/CEO (typically they are family but not always, such as in this case).
This kind of person never does anything good for a company but would throw a tantrum that would make a 5-year old blush if they were ever overruled and/or let go like they should be.
Sorry I don't have pithy, humorous comment but do want to point out that believe it or not, the new Norton doesn't suck! It is hard to believe because they really did gum up the works for 3 or 4 years.
Just stop right there. Guaranteed WTF. Don't even have to read the rest of the post.
This was immediately clear to John. Because it's clear, AKA transparent, you can't see the word. But it's there.

That's how you uninstall Norton
I thought it was immediately that the missing word was "obvious".
Well, it is Norton we're talking about here...That's things damn near a virus itself. I'd have just bought Norton Corporate though, and pushed out the install through the AD. Tell everyone to reboot, and then fix the few problem machines that are left while the rest run a full clean.
Wasn't sure what "VPN" had to do with anything though, unless he was talking about links to servers that were located at corporate...I'd assume that they wouldn't be so wildly stupid to connect across the internet on a clear connection, depending only on an IP whitelist to save them.
All in all it sounds like amateur hour.
Hey! Stop that!
It's *Norton's* job to destroy all your data!
(Yes, you can uninstall it. But when you do so it generally splinters into millions of tiny shards that scatter shrapnel-like into your filing system, registry, service control manager and COM database, so you need to go and manually tidy up afterward).
I do not know how John could have let it go after the CEO's explanation. He was almost negligent in his responsibly to the Company. How can he leave the Company open to another attack or something worse? Maybe I fight too much. I would have not back down, just yet. Anyhow a great story.
A similar story. As part of Corporate IT we did IT audits of operating companies. A co-worker found an open network. The companies CIO, Fred, would not admit it and acted just like Dave. We talked about introducing a virus and bring down the whole network. Our boss Larry, the corporate CIO, over heard us. He said if you can, put a text file on his desk top. Just say "Fred call Larry now!" The next thing we heard was Larry hired consultants to look at his network. Good guys one. Twenty year expert zero.
I haven't read the licence, but I assume it's not wrong to install it on more than one computer if he uninstalls it first, so that only one copy is installed at any time
Besides, the story claims that Dave bought every copy Best Buy had.

That's what you get for assuming. The way most licenses are written, you're allowed to install on one machine only, with no provisions for much of anything else.
Re: Beneath Dave

Hopefully you can do a fresh install, instead of trying to get rid of that one (providing that you have been clever enough to have: 1. an OS-only partition; 2. a personalized install CD done before hand to NOT have to re-do all the regular software you are using.).
And an anti-virus to check the email on the server? + restricting access to web sites?
The missing word is gullible. It's not in the dictionary, either.
TRWTF is that John actually felt lower because of Dave.
ARWTF is that John now feels better than Dave, without *actually* having proposed a fix in advance. A VPN wouldn't have helped anything against a virus.
ARWTF is that the servers apparently don't sit in a DMZ.
CAPTCHA: praesent
ps: ARWTF = another real wtf
Makes sense.
I could have stopped right after the first paragraph which ended with
The cost of soda is something to get excited about if you're flipping burgers, not the new IT Manager/Network Admin/Webmaster.
It's hard to argue that point...
I always love it when people tell me that they don't use an antivirus, and they have never gotten a virus. I like to follow up with "how do you know you never had a virus, if you don't use an antivirus". Most virii don't tell you when you're infected. Anyway, I always use Eset's NOD, and it's caught all kinds of virii.
Can't say I blame him. I wouldn't want to feel beneath Dave, either. No telling what you might find there.
nominate for the blue
The ENTIRE conference call?
Most viruses are more benign than Norton.
Yes, but immediately.
Shame you don't know how many it has missed?
Shame you don't know how many it has missed!

Either happy or married?
I have to tell you this that with me things are never straight. It just doesn't cut it, not even an A line skirt.
And well…haven't you heard that we will never survive unless we get a little crazy.
So my friend Saylee and I decided to go visit The Kala Ghoda Festival currently on here in Mumbai and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that there were several stores selling Happily Unmarried stuff. I have seen a lot of H.U stuff over the years at several stores, espeically the quaint Bandra ones, but I have to say their phase 2 is definitely on, the stuff they have come out with recently is insane.
I love that their stuff is quirky Indian without being all tourist souvenir and Indophile types. and most importantly its bloody affordable. It makes me want to become a product designer.
If I was the fangirl type [just saying you know] there would be Happily Unmarried paraphernalia all around the house, but if you'll have read the previous posts-the mother situation should be clear to ya'll.
Enjoy the goodies though-no charge for seeing.
SQUAT-TOILET ASHTRAY. Mini heart attack. Even if one doesn't smoke-this is definitely worth a drag.
—If I get the glasses, it's only fair that you get the drinks.
—- THIS, I am going to buy-definitely.
—Something for your in-laws?
—jab seedhi ungli se wine na nikle? You know what I mean.
You can keep up with their stocks on their Facebook page.
Brogue Roar
Any self respecting shoe-lover will tell you.
1-This season we must all own at least ONE pair of Brogues.
2-Its bad manners to stand on your mother's very expensively upholstered chairs for a photo.
3-Brogues look better while jeans are STILL on.
4-If you don't have permanent shoe bite marks, you have not fought your battles.
Vintage Surprise
Mom cleaned out her cupboard the other day-look what I ended up with
Among other Pearl-y things a pink lipstick [which of course is NOT vintage this time-but you never know with my mom since she's a hoarder]-a baby pic of mine doing the monkey face in a net and tulle frock.
These won't be sour. A sweet little bunch to use as brooches, I thought of silk-only because they are vintage I guess.
Artificial Basra Pearls woven with delicate Meenakari work in a necklace from Jaipur-she NEVER wore this
An American diamond necklace from America that was originally gifted to me that I hated ON SIGHT -but she ALWAYS the smarter one saved this till I grew up and could come to appreciate its delicate-can-be-worn-with-multiple-chains beauty, next to it : the earrings from the Jaipur set.
Well I guess that clears from where I get my Pearl obsession.
What truly inspires, I suppose, the connoisseurs of vintage is not its value due to its age or the old world charm, but that it comes with a back story. A sheer blouse, with the slightest hint of a stain in the corner or a peculiar smell, the slight rusty-greasy feel of an old ring, they all stand to give the testimony of a time when someone else owned it and either experienced the same thing in it as you or the complete opposite.
Maybe it was a lucky shirt gone bad, maybe it was a gift from an ex lover hence the giving away.
I always wonder this, even about 2nd hand books with dedication pages. What drove them to give it away. Personal message and all.
Or maybe I'm just a romantic.

House Republicans are amplifying pressure on international financial institutions, including the World Bank, that have decided to forbid investments in coal-fired power plants overseas.
GOP members of the House Energy and Commerce Committee are drafting a letter to World Bank President Jim Yong Kim on the new policy, Rep. Ed Whitfield, R-Ky., who chairs the panel's Energy and Power Subcommittee, told the Washington Examiner.
"So much of their money comes from taxpayers in the United States. They claim to be concerned about climate change, but in many parts of the world they're using fuels even dirtier than coal, like fuel oil and other things," Whitfield said.
At the World Economic Forum last month in Davos, Switzerland, Kim said that, "This is the year to take action on climate change. There are no excuses."
The push from Republicans comes at a time when President Obama is looking to flex his climate muscle on the global stage.
The World Bank move on overseas coal plants has Obama's support, and it mirrors a new U.S. Export-Import Bank policy that he called for in his second-term climate agenda.
Climate change took a prominent role when French President Francois Hollande visited Washington this week. Obama and Hollande discussed the urgency behind securing substantive commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions at the 2015 United Nations climate talks in Paris.
"As we work toward next year's climate conference in Paris, we continue to urge all nations to join us in pursuit of an ambitious and inclusive global agreement that reduces greenhouse gas emissions through concrete actions," said Obama and Hollande in a joint op-ed.
Countries are looking to lock in a treaty to curtail greenhouse emissions enough by 2020 to avoid a 2 degrees Celcius temperature rise by century's end at that conference. Underscoring the Obama administration's international climate emphasis, energy publication ClimateWire reported Tuesday that the White House is quietly crafting a strategy for emissions reductions into 2025 or 2030.
But House Republicans have sought to handcuff Obama's climate goals in the international arena. They succeeded in rolling back some of the Export-Import Bank policy, at least for this year, in the $1.1 trillion spending deal Congress passed last month.
"The president of the World Bank has made comments [about climate change] and we know that the Treasury Department is putting pressure on a lot of these international financial institutions," Whitfield said. "So we want to have a better understanding of precisely what they're doing, why they're doing it, how many applications do they have, is it a formal policy, do they have the legal authority to do it?"
The World Bank and the Export-Import Bank have said they would continue to consider financing overseas coal plants in the most extreme situations, such as for populations that face abject poverty and have little access to electricity.
One such example is a proposed coal-fired facility in Kosovo. While environmental activists have urged the World Bank to resist funding it, the institution has signaled support for the project by suggesting coal-fired generation is the only feasible option.
Still, Kim has doubled down on climate change since he began leading the World Bank in July 2012, with his eye trained on the Paris climate talks.
In Davos, Kim called on nations to double "green bonds" for climate adaptation and mitigation projects, which are awarded to countries vulnerable to climate change and extreme weather associated with it, to $20 billion this year. He set a goal of $50 billion by the time the Paris climate negotiations begin.
Obama and Hollande also discussed enhancing climate aid this week. The White House said the two nations are working on "mobilizing financial and technological support to the most vulnerable and poorest countries."

what a great pm
mah goodness
she would like
pull out her wings
and they would fold so perfectly
WOAH NIcE. she should be missing an arm but that'd be a hard look to pull off xD
Hmm yes, those wings are quite fantastic. :D I hope she doesn't mind me using them as a reference. :'D
Maybe it's just me (since I'm cosplaying her this summer) but aughdgsdbjdjhfdh she's still a dog, not a bird, so her whole arm doesn't flap when her wings do, and she has furrrrrrrrr
Not a morph-suit guys.
And also.
I have this perfect method for making it so she only has one arm, and can flap her wings without moving your whole freaking arm like a bird dangit you are a doggggg
(( Augh sorry I'm just a whiny perfectionist with a burning desire to do this cosplay better than everyone else ))
But all whininess aside, this is still a really awesome cosplay. :> Just needs some tweaking.

Cedar Point
The current version of this description is at .Location: Cedar Point is located on the shore of Lake Erie in Sandusky, Ohio, about an hour west of Cleveland. You can get driving directions by clicking the Cedar Point link on Theme Park Insider's Google map of U.S. theme parks.
History: Cedar Point opened as a lakeshore park in 1870. Rides were added in the early 1900's, with rapid development of the park beginning in the 1960s.
Hours: http://www.cedarpoint.com. Cedar Point is open from early May through Halloween.
Tickets: Buy and print online. Always try to buy your tickets in advance, to save time when you get to the park.
Strategy: Since wait times on the park's roller coasters can exceed two hours even on slower days, arriving before the park opens at 10 a.m. is a must. Ride some of the major rides like Top Thrill Dragster or Maverick. try not to head to Raptor right when you enter the park due to the crowds, come back mid-day for a shorter wait. Then work your way around the park to the other coasters. Cedar Point's non-coaster rides usually do not have very long waits, except on the busiest days, so you can visit those of your choosing at your convenience.
If you have young kids:
Camp Snoopy offers the park's largest collection of rides for children. In addition, county fair-style kiddie flat rides are available in the Gemini Jr. Play Area, next to Camp Snoopy, and the Kiddie Kingdom, off the Main Midway. Kids might also enjoy Planet Snoopy which was added in 2008 and features rides from Geauga Lake, located between the Main and Wicked Twister Midways - behind the Coliseum, as well as classic amusement rides like the Carousel, Railroad, Giant Wheel .
Kids of different ages will enjoy the Snoopy on Ice show near the Marina entrance and the Wildcat coaster. It's a nice cool place to escape the heat of the day.
Another method is to utilize the north entrance to the park and start from the back, working your way towards the front. The majority of guests start their day in the front of the park, and you are likely to sneak in a few quick rides in the back. By the time you get to the front, the crowd has spread out.
