Monsanto, the megacorp who brought you terminator seed technology, and who is known for suing farmers who harvest seeds from crops grown from patented Monsanto seeds, has had a busy couple of weeks. On April 4, they merged with pharmaceutical giant Upjohn to form meta-megacorp Pharmacia. That same day, in a spurt of overactivity, they decoded the genetic sequence of rice.
Uh oh.

SHREVEPORT, La. (AP) - The Louisiana Association for the Blind has unveiled a new $4 million manufacturing building in Shreveport.
Visually impaired workers there work on nonslip coatings for military ships and planes. The operation had shared space with a copy paper program run by the association. But both were growing. So the association added the new building, which they showed off on Thursday, according to The Times of Shreveport.
The Louisiana Association for the Blind employs 139 people in its manufacturing, rehabilitation, training and office operations. Forty-seven of those workers are blind or visually impaired.

MADISON (WKOW) -- Two of the four Democrats vying to replace Tammy Baldwin in Wisconsin's 2nd Congressional District are featured on Capitol City Sunday this weekend.
State Rep. Mark Pocan (D-Madison) says experience matters in a congressional race and claims he's the candidate that has it.
"I've been in the legislature for 14 years, before that on the Dane County Board. I've got a long, long list of accomplishments and experience that no one else really matches in this district," said Pocan.
Fellow state representative and opponent Kelda Roys (D-Madison) has bashed Pocan for being the only candidate in the race to take corporate PAC money.
But Pocan says Roys is being disingenuous about her own donations.
"If you take money from corporate lawyers, if you take money from corporate executives, if you take money from corporate lobbyists, which, other people in this campaign do, you just don't take it when its called a PAC check, its the exact same money," said Pocan.
If elected, Pocan says he will continue to work with Republicans as he has in the state legislature.
"You don't have to compromise your values, like I said there are absolutes that I'm gonna fight for and that I've fought for my entire career, nothing's gonna change there," said Pocan. "But we do have to get something done."
That's the same philosophy shared by Matt Silverman, an Iraq War veteran who wants to bring both parties back to the middle.
"We only get to send one rep to Congress from the 2nd District. So, its either gonna be someone who wants to work with Republicans, or someone who doesn't. And more extremists politicians in Washington is not the answer," said Silverman, who is running for political office for the first time.
Silverman is bucking conventional wisdom by refusing to actively fundraise for his campaign.
"I think the money in politics is destroying our government. And I think the fact that our politicians are out there begging for it everyday is really hurting their performance," said Silverman.
Capitol City Sunday airs at 9:00 a.m., right after This Week with George Stephanopoulos.

I think what people miss with the iPad is this: No, it's not going to play WoW, or any game like WoW really. What sorts of MMO COULD be played on it, given its unique control interface and processing capabilities? Gamepad/mouse interface dominance, even dominance of the MMO genre are in no way guaranteed, just look at what happened to hard core flight sims. Look ahead a little bit and imagine where things are going.

The One-Percenters believe they are being persecuted. Have compared themselves to the Jews persecuted by the Nazis. Okay, so here's my problem. Either, we need to drag them out of their houses in the middle of the night while their neighbors watch and torture and kill them, or they should have a little more respect for what Jews went through.
I really think this whole thing about being persecuted for your wealth is ludicrous. A One-Percenter on Bloomberg News said that others should stop envying them and emulate them. However, if that is the case then there would be no teachers, or garbage men, police officers or civil servants. Everyone would be looking at what they can get on the backs of someone else and no one would be interested in helping each other.
This fantasy that Americans quote unquote pull ourselves up by our bootstraps is a fable that those who make it tell those who haven't. It's not because of lack of opportunity, poor living conditions, inadequate schools, or broken families. It's because you didn't work hard enough. It doesn't matter that the ones who have made it usually have at least the right networks and the right schooling. No, it's because they work harder than other Americans.
Work Harder! I've seen people that make little to nothing work hard. I know for a fact teachers work hard. I know that those who pick fruit work hard. I know those that do the jobs that some people stick their noses up at work really hard. And still they may never make it.
The truth is that in order for others to have, someone has to have not. The truth is the reason these lies are stuffed down poor people's throats is to keep them quiet. The truth is the reason One-Percenters tell themselves they are being persecuted is to quiet their guilt and help them sleep better at night.

I worked out today. Wish I could say I'm going to work out tomorrow, but I think I better not promise it. What I can say is that I'm glad I did today. Got out of bed, did a workout session, off to work. God is good.
Today I let go of something I have been holding on to for a long time. I'm not sure if that makes me brave or shows a lack of faith. Or maybe it shows an abundance of faith. Believing that there is something out there that is better, that is right. Somedays my faith is so clear, other days I feel like I'm absolutely upside down in my belief. But that's okay too. I love the Lord. He loves my soul. I'll be alright.
Thought of the Day
Darn it! Got to start over again. Doing this is pretty humbling. It shows me how I let the gift I have been given take a back seat to other things. I don't prioritize writing so I forget to do it. It also shows that I lack follow through. Not that I don't know that but everytime I have to start at Day 1 again, I have to face it. I must say, as much as that sort of sucks, it also is good for me. Enjoying it. Hope I do better as a 34 year-old….Woohoo another year on Earth! I am so blessed. Thirty-three was pretty awesome I must say. Hope 34 is even better. :)
Those Seahawks made me have a bad day.
Thought of the Day
Seahawks suck! LOL. Okay, something more productive. I learned some new things today while trying to produce a mini-report at work. It felt good to take in new information and to be challenged even though it was stressful.
Today I also learned that being patient and learning acceptance is not a one day thing. It's not a weekend jaunt. For me, learning to be patient has been extremely hard, long and nerve-wracking. And learning to accept? I just got another lesson on that yesterday (which by the weekend, probably won't stick)!
Truthfully, what God has for you can not be manipulated, pushed, pulled, sped up or slowed down. It just is. It comes in God's time, not our own. Which I would like to say sucks (like the Seahawks) but I have spent enough time with God to know that His time really is best. It's just fact. Sometimes, you are not allowed to move forward or back, left or right. You just have to stand. Stand in the knowledge and the faith that God keeps pouring into you.And even though I say stand, I know that somedays all I can do is fall on my face in faith.
"Life for me ain't been no crystal stair." I don't think anyone's has - no matter what their station in life. This life is not easy and the reward is not given to the weak. No matter how much at times I just want to throw in the towel, it looks like God knows better. He's not giving up on me. He's not letting me give up on me. And for that…
I am so thankful, so humbled, and so blessed.
"I'm back!!!" - directed at my Sims 3 game.
Thought of the Day
Being talented is a burden of sorts. Some of the most talented people on Earth are also cursed with the biggest demons. I guess that's why so many great singers die young or have tragic endings. It's like the spirit in them is so bright that it can't fit in this world for long. It shines over all of us and then before we can truly appreciate it - it's gone. God bless those he's sent to be a beacon of his love and a testament to his beauty. R.I.P. to those who we've lost along the way.
I spent over 20 hours of this Thanksgiving Break driving. Ugh!
Thought of the Day
I don't have anything to say but praise God. He has been so good to me. He took me to be with my family and brought me back safely. I am truly blessed.
I love you family. Both biological and not. You all inspire me.
I played pool tonight. My friends had a great Sims interaction.
Thought of the Day
What is the point of doing the right thing if it doesn't pay off? I guess it's still the right thing. There should nee comfort in that. Unfortunately like everyone else, I'm completely extrinsically motivated at times. If it's not going to make a difference shouldn't I be able to do whatever I want?
Another Thought of the Day
I love my father. He's not a good father but he has spent time trying to form and maintain a bond with me. However, due to his flaws and fears, it has been difficult for him - for both of us. But I want to give thanks today for him. He tells me he loves me. He gives just because he wants me to have it. He thinks of me. Ours is not a great relationship and I can't say that it will ever be. But somewhere down the line, he made a choice to actively try. I appreciate that.
And for all of my father's other children who have not had a relationship with him or who he has neglected to keep up with, try to love him anyway. Not because he's a great father, but because you're here and you can learn something even from an absentee father. I oftentimes feel very conflicted about my dad and I'm not sure I'll ever be happy with our relationship or the man he is. But I am glad I've had chances to get to know him and I'm glad he's in my life.
I am afraid of Thanksgiving. More accurately, I am afraid of what Thanksgiving tells us about both the dominant culture and much of the alleged counterculture.
Here's what I think it tells us: As a society, the United States is intellectually dishonest, politically irresponsible, and morally bankrupt. This is a society in which even progressive people routinely allow national and family traditions to trump fundamental human decency. It's a society in which, in the privileged sectors, getting along and not causing trouble are often valued above honesty and accountability. Though it's painful to consider, it's possible that such a society is beyond redemption. Such a consideration becomes frightening when we recognize that all this goes on in the most affluent and militarily powerful country in the history of the world, but a country that is falling apart — an empire in decline.
Thanksgiving should teach us all to be afraid."—Robert Jensen | How I Stopped Hating Thanksgiving and Learned to Be Afraid (2009)
Darn it. I didn't write yesterday even after I reminded myself. I was supposed to take a moment to jot down some of my thoughts. Sucks. Blame it on Houston and the beautiful family I have here. Thanks for the laughs, fam.
Thought of the Day
Lord, help me walk in acceptance. Let your will be done.
In Memoriam
There was a time in our relationship where I was brave and you were unafraid. How fragile the time. Swept away in a twinkling of an eye. Before we let what we thought the other wanted, be more important than what the other wanted. Before we let our insecurities in and began to pretend. Drawing caricatures of ourselves hoping to please one another. Scared to be real once we began to feel for one another. Knowing the price of vulnerability. Having paid before. Memories of mistakes laced with feelings of inadequacy and the misplaced guilt of what others did. Shouldering the guilt of others' choices.
You and I. So similar. More than we probably realized. Turning into the skeletal versions of ourselves. Hoping bones are more palatable than flesh. Because the flesh carries flaws. Scarred from previous encounters, at times missing its shine. The luster scratched but not fully lost.
We trotted out our doppelgangers for one another when we never really had to be anything other than ourselves. Because ourselves was always enough. I miss when we were true to each other. Free moments gone on the breeze. The only way to find those people again, is in our memories.
Old Thought Still Valid
Lord, I am crying inside. I don't want to. I don't want it to matter. I understand that you hav a plan for me and I want to follow it. Yet still I feel brokenhearted and disillusioned and angry. Please God help me to stay dedicated and joyous about my path.
I want to publish my book this month. I think I'll just do an ebook but I really want something I can hold in my hand too. Maybe a couple of real life books will be just right.
Thought of the Day
I'm holding out my mustard seed Lord. It's all the faith I have left. Please.
I watched a really uncomfortable video. It was so PG and R rated at the same time. Was not ready.
Thought for the Day
Church isn't doing it for me. I haven't been a church regular in about a year and a half. Before that I had a regular church I attended in New Orleans. I've been going to this church since before Katrina. So whenever I'd move back to New Orleans, I'd go back to my church.
Well, when I came back this time, it wasn't the same. Or maybe it was the same and I am different. But it didn't feel like it fit anymore. It was like putting on your favorite shirt that you've had in the back of your closet. It was supposed to feel familiar and fit just perfectly, but instead it felt foreign and showed bulges in places never noticed before.
Going back to the church and not finding my home there felt strange. I didn't expect that. It was part of the whole package about me coming back to New Orleans. When I decided to take the opportunity here I thought it would be sort of like a homecoming - my old church, and old friends, and old hangouts. I felt like moving here would give me a chance to heal a broken heart and I could take comfort in the familiar.
But reality is different. The truth is: I think my old church worries more about getting in people's pockets than they should, my old friends have their lives that they have crafted without me while I've been traveling, and my old hangouts have memories of personal love stories that never had happy endings. New Orleans isn't quite as comfortable for me as I thought it would be.
I guess it's time to start thinking about my new adventure. Anyone know how I can live in a foreign country next year?

This was how the myth of Black criminality started, for the record. After the abolition of slavery, a lot of states made laws targeting Black people specifically, and then put them on chain gangs to get free labor from them.
Oh, and the US is still disproportionately incarcerating Black people and private prisons are making huge amounts off them.

Volleyball is awesome!!!
Thought of the Day
I am really struggling with acceptance. I know how to acknowledge. I acknowledge that things are the way they are and that I am not in control. I acknowledge that God has a plan and that everything must fall under his will. What I'm struggling with is accepting it.
And not in some philosophical way, that doesn't hold up when the rubber hits the road, but in a get-up-and-live-it-every-day way.Which isn't as easy. I make declarations to myself all the time that I am going to accept my lot and thank the Lord for it. But inevitably, later that day, I'm back on my knees praying for things to change.
Sometimes things don't work out. I get that. I am not naive. I listen, I learn, I understand and I accept. At least that's what I want to do. But lately, it's been hard to keep my self-made declarations to just let things go the way they must, to keep my hands off it, to trust that everything will work out right. And I guess the reason is because I don't always feel that way. I can't help but continue to question. Question my actions. My choices. My belief.
But it doesn't make me happy. Turning over every rock in my head doesn't make me wiser or stronger. It makes me tired and it hurts. Which brings me back to acceptance. Maybe I have to accept to make the hurting stop. Maybe it is only acceptance that makes you wiser and stronger.
I'm not sure. But even if that is true. How do I get from where I am now to that place of full acceptance and peace? I don't know the answer to that. Does anyone?
Random Thought: I wouldn't make it in the Zombie Apocalypse.
Follow-Up to Random Thought: I wouldn't want to either.
Thought for the Day
My knee hurts. I am getting older. Gotta start taking care of myself. It was a notion before but now it's a mandate. Your body changes, it can't do all the things it used to, even when you will it to. Instead, you learn that you have to change the way you're used to doing things to accommodate the pain or stiffness or whatever it may be. Bodies change, aging is not just a number change but physical changes too. Of course, I knew that, but now I'm beginning to live it and it's freaky. I'm not used to thinking about longevity and what type of life I want to have when I'm older, but I find myself looking at the future these days. Imagining myself and what I want and what I want to avoid so that my future days will be comfortable.
Thought of the Day
What do you do when you really want something…when you really need things to work out in your favor? Yet, you realize the probability of that happening runs asymptotically. The more you hold out, the closer you get to zero.
It's like waiting for rain in a drought. You pray. You hope. You watch for signs. But day after day your crops wither and the health of your livestock fades as do your hopes. And it makes me wonder - how do you make yourself not want something? How do you hope against your hope? Pray against your prayers? Which ones will God answer?
When I was younger - not a child - just younger, I had faith. The type of faith that shows up in the Bible. The childlike faith. Strong, bright and true. Stronger than what my grownup self could ever produce now. Faith that everything would work out right. And I guess it did. But along the way, I met with disappointment and heartbreak. Those things changed me, in a way I am only beginning to understand.
Now, I find myself wondering. Questioning. Trying to access that part of myself again that had such blind, wondrous, blessed faith. She didn't die. She's still there. Buried alive under worry and fear and a growing lack of hope for the future.
I worry about myself sometimes. I worry about what will become of me. Wondering if I am just going through a phase or if I'm fundamentally changing. If the losses in my life and the times I've been knocked down have changed me much more than I would have imagined they could. Left me praying, but not trusting. Wanting but not believing. Needing things to work out in my favor but understanding they probably won't.
I'm not sure how to end this thought so….
Today was good because I spent some time fantasizing about what I'd write on my 3rd day. Of course, I have completely forgotten what that was.
Today's Thought
I've been thinking about kicking people off of my Facebook page. I'm thinking of doing it in waves. First, I want to move all of the people who are work acquaintances only onto LinkedIn. If it's about the network we form and keeping up with people that have influenced us or can have an impact on my future career, they should be on LinkedIn where I'm not likely to post something that will offend delicate sensibilities.
Next, would be the kids. I know right - so sad, so sad. Well, it's like this. Either I need a completely different page for them or I need to make sure they are all in a group that has privacy settings such that I can control the flow of information to them. One, because I am an adult and I would like to have adult conversations, and two because some of the things they write on their Facebook pages make me want to gag. And since I haven't figured out the role I should play in letting them express themselves versus chastisement, I'd rather not be a part of that at all.
The third group of people voted off the island would be those who would always be too sensitive to discuss topics not watered down or sanitized. But those, I do not have to kick off - they'll self-select to leave as I begin to express myself more.
I've been very careful of how I message myself on Facebook based on the audience of "friends". However, I'm sick of that. I'm starting to think like Mystikal - "If you're going to be down with me, be all the way down with me or get from round me." That way, I'm only talking to the people in my life that are open-minded enough to appreciate the tough conversations, mature enough to access the content, and close enough to handle my faults.
But then again…eh.
This is what I'll do. I'll make myself write everyday and see what I come up with. I'll keep track of how many consecutive days I write and start over on days when I don't write. Let's see how far I can go before starting over.
Today's Thought
Love doesn't care if you don't want to fall in love, are not interested in falling in love, would be much better off without ever ever ever falling in love. Love's more like, "Fuck it. I think we should do it anyway."
The Love Emotion is brave. It treks through carefully-constructed circumstances, well-laid plans and heavily-contemplated action to bring you right where it ultimately desires. You think you're in control but you're not. Before you realize how deep things have gotten, you're right back in time again. To the emotion you swore you wouldn't allow yourself to feel. Hoping that this time the outcome will be different. That your head can overrule the erratic beat of your heart. The swelling of hope. The thrum of newly awakened yearnings. But it can't. And it won't.
No matter how much you may have wished otherwise. Or how fervently with God you've pled. You find yourself in love. Again.
Now what?
I want to be brave. I want to say what I'm really thinking, and challenge my words to do the impossible…Stand for something. Be worth the moments I spent tapping away on my computer keys staring at my computer screen. Be the truth. A basic or complex one. A surface or in-depth one. The truth bright and blazing or dull. Just as long as you serve to illuminate my reality. That will be enough.

I am blessed. That is all.
The hardest part of dreaming is waking up and seeing the world is not as you imagined it. On the same note, dreaming while awake makes you see that you are not as you imagined you'd be. You're full of fear and limitations - some self-imposed, others not. And you start to realize that its easier not to dream because there's a price to hope. For those who have lost before, they know just how much hope can hurt. So I close my eyes to dream. But what is the point of dreaming, of seeing something great, if you are too afraid to make it a reality?
That's who I want to be
I want to still have the stars in my eyes
The feeling of being really alive
Because then I'd be ignorant of limits
I could see myself doing all the things that are really important to me
The problem I have with the education reform movement is this: we are moving toward an era of process engineering education when education is a complex system of interactions that should not be managed as you would the manufacturing process of a company. Six Sigma has no place in education. Instead, we should be looking at how to educate to the complexity of the world not make products for sell in a fragile economy.

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — A coalition working to restore voting rights to felons who have served their time is trying to convince legislators to change state law.
Members of the Restore the Vote Coalition want Minnesota to join 13 other states and allow felons who have been released from prison to vote. The group's members tell Minnesota Public Radio News (http://bit.ly/1oMc3dQ ) it's a civil rights issue that will allow thousands of people to have a say in the political process. Supporters kicked off lobbying efforts at the state Capitol Tuesday.
The Minnesota County Attorneys Association, the League of Women Voters, the NAACP and the Minnesota Catholic Conference support the change. They cite University of Minnesota statistics that say 63,000 convicted felons were ineligible to vote in 2012.

Smarter Kids May Be Experimenting More with Drugs — Health Check
A new study of 8,000 kids published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health finds those who had high IQs were more likely to use certain illicit drugs as they aged. Smarter girls in particular may tend to experiment with marijuana, cocaine, and other illicit drugs later on.
Michael Jackson's Propofol Addiction Started in 1999
The Conrad Murray verdict was handed down a week ago (Nov. 7), with the doctor being found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in the case of Michael Jackson. Murray came under fire for administering the surgical anesthetic propofol to the singer outside of the operating room, which killed him.
Now, Frank Cascio, who was once the King of Pop's personal assistant and manager, has written a tell-all book that makes the blockbuster claim that the singer began taking the dangerous drug as far back as 1999, well before he met and hired Dr. Murray.
Marijuana Candy Showing Up in Stores
Apparently there is a new candy showing up in stores. It is call Potheads and it is in the shape of marijuana leaves.
Addiction Vaccines Will Potentially Cure Nicotine and Drug Dependencies
Scientists in San Diego are developing new vaccines that will potentially cure addictions, allowing cigarette and drug abusers to kick their habits with a simple injection.
Dr. Kim D. Janda, a Scripps Research Institute professor, is one of the leading experts, having made addiction vaccines his main priority for the past 25 years. "We view this as an alternative or better way for some people," he tells The New York Times in reference to rehab programs.
Show and Tell Surprise-A Crack Pipe [VIDEO]
Show and tell is a fun time for kids. It gives them an opportunity to show their classmates something cool in their life. Picture this, little "Timmy" steps up to the front of this class and holds up a crack pipe. Can you imagine the horror on the teachers face, when her kindergarten student pulls out a crack pipe and a wad of drugs. See the whole story
Florida & Kentucky Among First States To Require Drug Test For Welfare Recipients
Governor Rick Scott of Florida has just signed into law legislation that requires welfare recipients to pass a drug screening in order to receive welfare assistance. This is meeting with high controversy from some and huge support from others.
Now, anyone applying for government assistance will be required to pass a drug test which they purchase themselves. They will be reimbursed upon passing the test and then be qualified to receive assistance.

New Delhi, India -- (ReleaseWire) -- 09/20/2013 -- Weight loss drugs are not so popular now because of their nasty side effects. It is the time and age when people are turning towards natural products to lose weight and get back in shape.
Various natural fat burners have been hogging limelight for quite some time and some of the most popular ones include garcinia cambogia, green coffee and raspberry ketones.
Garcinia cambogia is supposed to be the best of all and has been dubbed as the "holy grail of weight loss". It is a fat burner, fat blocker and an appetite suppressant and can do more than two or three dietary supplements combined.
Garcinia cambogia is supposed to be even better than green coffee. It not only burns fat faster in the body but also prevents fat production. In addition to this, it is also known to suppress appetite and detoxify body. Trials have shown that garcinia cambogia can help reduce weight even without diet or exercise.
Green coffee is also an effective fat burner and appetite suppressant. It is known to prevent fat accumulation in the body by slowing down sugar release into the bloodstream. It is also proven to help lose weight without any adjustments in diet and lifestyle.
Raspberry ketones, on the other hand, work when combined with diet and exercise.
Some of the best dietary pills are a combination of these natural ingredients.
SlimmersExpert.co.uk conducted a review of Natural Fat Burners hailed by weight loss experts and some of the findings are listed below:
- Garcinia Cambogia Extra is one of the most recommended supplements. It is a unique combination of garcinia extract and raspberry ketones. This is a diet pill that is known to contain 1000 mg of garcinia extract and 200 mg of raspberry ketone. This makes it a 2-in-1 fat buster. It is likely to make body burn fat faster, stop fat production and suppress appetite too. There are no known side effects. It has been getting rave user reviews too.
- GCB MAX or Green Coffee Bean MAX is the most popular of all green coffee diet pills because of a high level of chlorogenic acid in it. It comes with 800 mg of pure green coffee extract with at least 50% chlorogenic acid. This is a pill that can ensure weight loss without diet and exercise. People have been getting great results with it. Combining it with diet and exercise is proven to ensure much faster weight loss.
- Raspberry ketone Plus from Evolution Slimming is the finest supplement that has an optimum dose of raspberry ketones and a potent mix of 8 other natural fat burning ingredients like acai berry, African mango, resveratrol, apple cider vinegar, green tea extract, grapefruit pectin, kelp and caffeine. It can ensure quick weight loss without side effects.
"Such pills are highly effective in ensuring quick and safe weight loss. Garcinia Cambogia Extra is one supplement that boasts of containing two powerful and highly popular fat burners. It has been getting a lot of rave user reviews" says a SlimmersExpert.co.uk spokesperson.

Wendy Williams flew into Atlanta from New York yesterday for a day trip. Why? She is playing the role of a judge for an upcoming episode of Lifetime's "Drop Dead Diva," to air sometimes this summer for the series' third season.
I caught up with her for a few minutes to talk mostly about "Dancing With the Stars." She joined the cast this spring and will be dancing the chacha this Monday.
Stuck on set all day in Peachtree City, "we still haven't gotten a chance to visit Mary Mac's Tea Room," she said. "I'm so mad, I want to spit! I Twittered when I took off in New York. I thought for sure someone who follows me could have sent me something."
Overall, she said she's feeling good six days before "Dancing With the Stars." "I'm not scared to reveal myself in my costumes," she said. "I don't know what they're cooking up."
When I noted that Kendra Wilkinson said she'd like to wear as skimpy a costume as ABC Standards & Practices will allow, Williams said she won't be demanding that.
"She's 25 and tight," Williams said. "I'm 46 and loose!"
"My goal is to shake what my mama and the doctor gave me!" she added.
Not that it's been easy.
"My feet hurt!" she said. "I can't even wear flats on my feet."
She said when she was invited, she said yes despite her busy schedule. She is still shooting her daily syndicated talk show, though she's on hiatus this week.
Williams said she has been prepping for a few weeks with Tony Dovolani and just got her song for her chacha (but can't name it). "It's off the hook!" she said. "The song applied more pressure on my shoulders than I ever have in my dancing career."
"For a first-dance song," she added, "if I don't kill this song, the blogs will go crazy on me!"
Despite her crazy schedule, she still hopes to see her 10-year-old son as often as possible. (Her husband is her manager so he's always around.) "I begged God for a family and a career and I have been blessed with both. I won't give up without a fight," she said ." I'm still doing homework and making home-made lunch and home-made dinner. I don't do any of it real well. I just want you to know, I am doing it… all!"
Now does she think she can win the mirror-ball trophy? She demurred.
"I feel like we're all winners because we were all invited to what is a national treasure," she said. "I was flattered. I feel like a winner already… I just don't want to go home first!"
Here's the video interview:

Oh, and for you shallow jerks – She's not a dude… you jackasses saying that must be a bit light-in-tha'-loafers. If you don't dig her then… good for you; That's your choice. It's ignorant to talk poorly just because she's not your cup of tea.

Did she really sound mad to you, that was a major plug for Mary Macs Tea Room. Can you folks ever look for a positive spin on anything. Here's a woman who loves life and people, she probably did get the treat from them while on set. Wendy is a celebrity and so is Oprah.

OBAMA: "You can choose a future where we reduce our deficit without wrecking our middle class. Independent analysis shows that my plan would cut our deficits by $4 trillion."
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
THE FACTS: Three years ago, Obama pledged to cut in half the deficit "we inherited" by the end of his first term, a mark he's set to miss by a wide margin. The deficit when he took office was $1.2 trillion, and the $800 billion stimulus bill Obama signed soon afterward increased the shortfall to over $1.4 trillion. The White House predicts this year's federal budget deficit will end up at $1.2 trillion, marking the fourth consecutive year of trillion dollar-plus red ink.
Obama's new $4 trillion target over 10 years resets the goalposts with some fancy budget footwork. For one thing, it includes $1 trillion in cuts already signed into law. And it assumes that Congress will pass the administration's plan to raise the capital gains tax, boost taxes on households earning over $250,000 a year and impose a minimum 30 percent tax on incomes above $1 million. It also assumes a reduction in the amount of interest the government must pay on its debt.
BIDEN: "After the worst job loss since the Great Depression, we've created 4.5 million private sector jobs in the past 29 months."
THE FACTS: This seems to be a favorite statistic, because many speakers at the convention cited it. But it's misleading — a figure that counts jobs from when the recession reached its trough and employment began to grow again. It excludes jobs lost earlier in Obama's term, and masks the fact that joblessness overall has risen over Obama's term so far.
As well, in the same 29 months that private sector jobs grew by 4.5 million, jobs in the public sector declined by about 500,000, making the net gain in that period about 4 million.
Overall, some 7.5 million jobs were lost during the recession that began in December 2007 in President George W. Bush's term and ended officially in June 2009 with Obama as president.
Never since World War II has the economy been so slow to recover all the jobs lost in a downturn.
OBAMA: "Millions of students are paying less for college today because we finally took on a system that wasted billions of taxpayer dollars on banks and lenders."
THE FACTS: "Technically it is true," said Bryan Cook, director of the Center for Policy Analysis at the American Council on Education. "How much of a savings is not clear."
Large increases in federal Pell Grants, GI Bill benefits and the 2009 American Opportunity Tax Credit led to a significant increase in the amount of aid provided to students who qualify for these benefits. The current per year maximum Pell Grant is $5,550 — $900 higher than it was in 2008 for a program that serves more than 9 million students.
Under the Obama administration, Congress passed legislation requiring all federal loans be issued through the Education Department; previously, they were also issued by private lenders. This will also probably mean students pay less in the long term.
OBAMA: "In 2014, our longest war will be over."
THE FACTS: Although most U.S. troops will leave Afghanistan by the end of 2014, thousands are likely to stay and continue a U.S. presence for years. There is no telling what fighting they might be drawn into, despite the decision to end the U.S. combat role.
Military leaders and administration officials have not yet said how many will stay, asserting that such decisions are far from being made. But analysts say the U.S. envisions a post-2014 force of as many as 20,000 American troops to continue training the Afghan forces, hunt terrorists and keep watch on Iran and other nations in the region.
BIDEN: "What they didn't tell you is that the plan they've put down on paper would immediately cut benefits to more than 30 million seniors already on Medicare. What they didn't tell you is the plan they're proposing would cause Medicare to go bankrupt by 2016."Next Page >

Four of us spent ten days in a Prague apartment.We scheduled everything- the bathroom, the food preparers, the dishwashers (machine), the morning striders goind and coming each on different routes and reporting at breakfast the streets, the places to go etc. We walked everywhere even up the hill to the castle. The apartment was centrally located but a bit off the beaten path so it was quiet but close to the alleys and streets that short-cut to our destination.We discovered leg muscles we did not know we had.We used a tram once, popped into interesting-looking restaurants, patisseries, went to some shows - museums, ancient and modern historical sites, ther Jewish quarter- everything terrific. We won't go again, we saw everything! terrific.

Oakland Athletics : The Drumbeat
All about the Oakland A's
Monthly Archive for October, 2006
Around the A'sosphere: Outperforming Pythagoras
Ryan Armbrust, who writes for several A's blogs from the unlikely locale of football-crazy Lincoln, Neb., explores how the A's won 93 games when they supposedly should have won just 85 given their runs scored and runs allowed — the biggest overachievement in baseball. This way of estimating wins, known as the Pythagorean Theorem, was […] [Read More]
A bittersweet ending
Most unfortunate thing about the World Series: In modern baseball's 106th season, the Cardinals have passed the Athletics for second on the all-time list, 10 world championships to nine. Most enjoyable thing: The irritation of Angels fans, watching their castoff Jeff Weaver win the last game as his kid brother wears Cardinals gear, David Eckstein […] [Read More]
A Quirk in the Process
So now there's word that Rockies bench coach Jamie Quirk will interview for the A's managerial job. Quirk, who finished a long career as a backup catcher-infielder with the A's in 1989-92, was briefly a teammate of Billy Beane's on the '89 world champs (talk about minor contributors!) He joins Bob Geren, Ron Washington, Bud […] [Read More]
A measure of compensation
One big sigh of relief. The new MLB-players association agreement retains, slightly modified, the system of compensating teams that have lost top free agents with draft picks. That means if Barry Zito signs with a team that finished among the top 15 last year, the A's will get that team's first round pick (a bottom-15 […] [Read More]
Acceptable levels of cheating
A friend on Wall Street once told me that 95 percent of what he did was legitimate. As for the other 5 percent … well, you can't expect a guy under a ton of pressure to make money for his firm to just ignore inside information that walks in the door. In winner-take-all professions, some […] [Read More]
Macha: 'Too Much Interference'
This John Shea story in Sunday's paper gives Ken Macha's side of his firing, citing "too much interference" by Billy Beane. The final straw was over Mark Kotsay: Macha says he was fired in large part for starting Kotsay over Kielty against Detroit's lefties — and now he's disappointed that Kotsay turned on him after […] [Read More]
Two good things about the World Series
The obvious one: The Tigers built their team the right way, mostly home-grown talent with a smattering of free agents and sharp trades. They're worth rooting for, and give hope to lesser-revenue teams, even the Royals. The schadenfreude one: Angels fans whining every time Jeff Weaver pitches a nice game about how he stunk with […] [Read More]
Looking at the '07 schedule
Finally, two weeks after most teams, the A's have posted a tentative 2007 schedule on their website. Some thoughts: If you have friends or relatives in New York, think about visiting next June. The A's play the Mets a weekend series, go on to Cleveland (giving you a few free days in NYC to shop, […] [Read More]
Retrieve Lilly from the doghouse?
When the A's last saw old teammate Ted Lilly with the Blue Jays, he was getting shoved in the dugout by his manager for refusing to hand him the ball after being removed for blowing an 8-0 lead. It might be worth bringing him back from the doghouse. Susan Slusser mentioned that Lilly has expressed […] [Read More]
It has to be tough love
From Sporting Green columnist Gwen Knapp: I agree that the A's need more of a players' manager than Macha, but that doesn't mean someone who will coddle and stroke. Zito referred to Ozzie Guillen, and Guillen certainly doesn't stand behind all his guys. See Frank Thomas and Magglio Ordonez. (Guillen's 2005 tirade about Ordonez should […] [Read More]

By BRIAN SKOLOFFAssociated Press
PHOENIX (AP) - The owners of a luxury car dealership and jewelry store are charged with money laundering after authorities say the three men agreed to accept thousands of dollars from undercover agents posing as drug dealers for vehicles and jewelry while offering to hide the transactions from the federal government.
Hamid and Saeid Salari, owners of Luxor Auto Group in Scottsdale, are charged with three counts, including money laundering and conspiracy. Farah Isaac, owner of Isaac Jewelers, also in Scottsdale, faces the same charges. They were arrested Wednesday.
Attorneys for the three men did not return telephone messages on Friday. All three suspects have been released on their own recognizance pending future hearings after initial appearances this week in federal court in Phoenix.

CHICAGO FASHION PART DEUX: My Next Move
The out pour of support on my job being eliminated due to the Chicago Office of Tourism and Culture closure was overwhelming. Thank you to media outlets Racked.com, Refinery29.com, Chicago Reader and Crain's Chicago Business for sharing the news with your readers. It has been a great pleasure to serve the local fashion community and I look forward to being one of many trailblazers making a name for Chicago within the global fashion industry.
This summer I will be joining the esteemed team of Melissa Skoog Dunagan (formerly of PRADA, Banana Republic, Marie Claire & VOGUE), Samantha Saifer Bergnard (formerly of Modern Luxury Media) and Lesley Estep Stump (formerly of ELLE) to consult with SKOOG Productions LLC until the arrival of my second daughter at the end of August. SKOOG Productions roster of clients includes grand opening event execution and public relations for L.K.Bennett and LOFT, an Ann Inc. brand, retail stores nationwide, in addition to national media relations for the Costume Council of the Chicago History Museum. My role will include overseeing client services and business development, agency marketing and operations, as well as leading the luxury and fashion agency in growth into new lifestyle practice areas.
With my expertise of Chicago fashion and knowledge in the cultural landscape of the City, along with my over dozen years of media relations, strategic marketing and promotional event experience, the plan is to join the team as Executive Vice President by the end of 2012/early 2013.
Thank you again for everything and please be sure to keep in touch and follow me on Twitter.

Joint Media Release
Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for the Environment and Heritage
Greg Hunt MP
Federal Member for Wannon
David Hawker MP
28 February 2005
Greg Hunt, Parliamentary Secretary with ministerial responsibility for the Australian Bureau of Meteorology and David Hawker, Federal Member for Wannon today announced that a new state-of-the-art Automatic Weather Station (AWS) at Casterton in Western Victoria will provide half hourly reports in support of improved fire services during the fire season.
"For more than a decade, the Country Fire Authority (CFA) has operated a network of Automatic Weather Stations (AWS) in western Victoria to monitor weather conditions that may affect fire fighting operations, such as summer-time wind changes," Mr Hunt said.
"The CFA has now decided that it would be of mutual benefit to have the Australian Bureau of Meteorology own and operate this network as part of the Bureau's national Automatic Weather Station network of over 540 stations nationwide."
The CFA has been operating this AWS until now. The new state-of-the-art AWS has been installed on the same site.
David Hawker said an AWS at Casterton was first installed in the late 1980s following serious wildfires that occurred in Victoria in 1977, 1983 and 1985.
"This new AWS will provide accurate readings of temperature, humidity and wind as well as rainfall every hour 365 days a year. During the fire season, it will report to the Bureau every half hour," Mr Hawker said.
"Should there be a significant change in the weather, for example a wind change or sudden temperature change, then this will be immediately reported to the Bureau. These reports will also be forwarded to the CFA and the Fire Management Branch of the Department of Sustainability and Environment (DSE) every 10 minutes during hazardous conditions, ensuring that the fire authorities have the very latest information available.
"This new facility, along with other upgrades in the network, will help the Bureau, the CFA and DSE to closely monitor the weather and will contribute towards safer and more effective fire fighting, benefiting farmers, crop dusters and the local community in general," Mr Hawker said.
The CFA has provided funding for replacement and upgrade of several AWSs to the Bureau standard and the Casterton AWS is the second to be upgraded in the old CFA network. Data from the Casterton AWS is available at: http://www.bom.gov.au/products/IDV65119.shtml

Adding Reputation Points
I know this may be a minor issue but I just saw a brilliant post and I would like the author to know my appreciation. I can't find a way to add to their rep though :(. Apologies for the idiocy in advance if the solution is right in front of me.

You will find your answer there.

Crucial has provided the Ballistix Sport VLP for testing and evaluation. This memory is about as low as you can go and it is at the speed sweet spot of 1600 with latencies 9-9-9 and a cycle time of 24 running on 1.35v.Read more →
Low profile is the word of the day and Crucial spells it BALLISTIX VLP Tactical. This memory packs bang in the smallest package possible. It is not the fastest memory but it is faster than other low profile kits. It does not have the lowest latency but it holds its latency up to 2133. It is not the least expensive but it is faster and less obstructive than the less pricy chips.Read more →
Where the CR-H212 shines is RAID. Having a redundant, external, portable drive that performs on par with internal raid drives is a big plus for the person on the go that has to live out of a bag six months out of the year and for the mobile gamer that uses steam this device is great in RAID 0 mode. Data security or faster map load times. Either way this is a Win!!!Read more →

Introduction Noctua is back in the house. It's always good to have them here. We appreciate the work and effort that is put into these cooler designs and their build quality.

Introduction and Photo Gallery We thank Giada for presenting us with – for our scrutiny – the D2305, dual core i5 (3427U) miniPC. Up front we liked the look and feel (solid) of this unit and in the end came to respect its functionality and capability. What we did not like are the things that […]Read more →

Doing a comparison with Intel's latest 6 series chipset on a quality motherboard shows us that this Motherboard has no deficiencies that can really be improved on by Sapphire. The 1333 memory speed can be a turnoff for some but there is really not much sacrificed in that 266 MHz. Yes a benchmark will show you the deficiencies but will they make a difference in the normal operation of this board?Read more →
