Years ago, our neighborhood was our sanctuary and our neighbors were our support system. Kids treated the block as their playground, and parents had peace of mind knowing they were safe. Times have changed, but families still desire one thing: to live somewhere safe.
Dare to Dream
What do you envision your neighborhood as? A greener, cleaner oasis where kids can freely play or a lively community where small businesses thrive? Whatever your goal, work toward reaching it, no matter how far you'll have to go. Get others involved to build momentum and provide inspiration. Change starts at the local level— others may be willing to help but are just waiting for someone to take charge. Acknowledging that work needs to be done is the first step in making your neighborhood safer for kids.
Slow Down & Take a Walk
We rush to work, rush home, rush to the store and don't stop rushing long enough to enjoy what we already have. Slow down and try to see your neighborhood as you would if you were there for the first time. Appreciate the good. Note what could be improved. Get to know your neighbors and keep an eye out for each other. Take an evening walk around the block once a week to increase your chances of meeting your neighbors. You'll get to know their habits, and what (and who) is normal in your neighborhood and what's not.
This is also a good time to have your children show you their local hang out spots, routes to school/park/store, and any houses they are weary of (not that that proves anything, but we've all seen Tom Hanks in "The Burbs"). As you walk the neighborhood together, reinforce your family rules and provide your supportive feedback on what your child shares. This is your opportunity to continue the ongoing conversation about your child's safety.
Instigate a Neighborhood Watch
One of the oldest and most effective crime prevention programs in the country, the Neighborhood Watch program sponsored by the National Sheriffs' Association, helps communities get organized in order to reduce opportunities for crimes. That can range from investing in security systems to installing more street lamps. According to SecurityCompanies.com, many monitoring packages include sensors used to detect fire, freezing, flood and carbon monoxide leaks, among criminal break-ins or attacks. Talk to your police department about starting a Neighborhood Watch program on your street. Pass out fliers and host an event at your home to bring awareness and talk about ideas.
For a successful Neighborhood Watch program, the National Crime Prevention Council suggests that residents:
- Ask people who seldom leave their homes to be window watchers
- Sponsor a clean-up day to remedy problems that contribute to crime, such as abandoned cars or overgrown vacant lots
- Share facts from police reports about crime in your neighborhood in a newsletter or at a monthly meeting
- Work with local businesses to create jobs for youth, clean up littered streets and repair rundown storefronts
Parents are responsible for keeping their children safe, though neighbors can contribute. The NCPC suggests that parents:
- Know where their children are
- Get to know the neighborhood kids and their kids' friends
- Help children memorize important numbers
- Choose a safe house where children can go if they are in trouble
- Set limits about safe and unsafe parts of town
Do what you can to beautify your neighborhood. Pick up trash, offer to mow your neighbor's lawn or clean the brush off an empty lot to help improve the appearance of your neighborhood. Plant flower beds or hang flower baskets from lamp posts to brighten the area. Colorful flowers can indicate a visible positive change and bring hope and motivation to others. They give the message that someone must be looking after the place and it is no longer the unsafe, unloved, add-your-own-adjective place it used to be.

Better citizenshipDecember 31,2012As we close the door on 2012, we reflect on the lessons learned and absorb the challenges with the same grace with which we celebrate our successes. Without question, the economy has continued to cast a pall over many of our lives. The holidays allow us to revel a bit, but in a matter of days, reality sets in again: the bills must be paid.
As much as we want to believe that the news coming at us from all sides whether it is the tragedy in Newtown or the fiscal cliff or the upcoming legislative session or renewable energy debates every one of us can make a difference.
To that end, instead of taking the New Years Eve inventory in order to set resolutions for the coming year, we offer another set of resolutions that might not affect your waistline but will make for better citizens.
First, educate. Take the time to educate yourself on the issues you are passionate about, as well as the topics that interest you. Knowledge is power, so arming yourself with facts allows you to make more educated conclusions.
Second, engage. Decisions are made by those who show up. It is easy to sit back and whine the day after a vote, but taking part in the process of decisions allows for due diligence. We need all sides to be heard. We need every idea on the table, because, occasionally, it is the overlooked idea that could bridge the sides or resolve the problem.
Showing up can be done in several ways; it does not always require attending the hearing or meeting. Call or write to your elected officials. Share your thoughts, and hold them accountable for the positions in which we have placed them. While they manage the process, they are in place to serve us.
Third, build. Community building is hard work. It, too, takes showing up. But this can be accomplished in a host of ways: volunteering, running for office, serving on committees, attending meetings, writing letters to the editor, hosting or facilitating a discussion group. By taking part, building networks, we strengthen our towns and cities, and we become better suited to achieve our goals and foster a sense of community pride and togetherness.
Fourth, vote. Whenever the opportunity arises, make your voice heard, whether it is at town meeting or for an election (or special election). Dont regret saying you did not do your part.
Lastly, be open-minded. By doing all or any of the above, you are exercising your right to take part. That means each of us brings our own angle and expertise to a discussion. Politics provides an easy script and offers cover when we dont really want to stand up for what we believe.
Have the courage to speak your mind without fear of deviating from the majority voice or for fear of retribution. Listen and be willing to compromise and accept other points of view. If more of us said what we wanted to instead of what we were expected to say, our communities would feel more like communities than they do. Unplug from the political machine, unplug from the social media and the Internet, and allow yourself to reach your own conclusion.
Being better citizens is our duty. We should not have to resolve to want to make our towns and cities better places to live today and for our children and grandchildren. It just should be.
As we move into 2013, think about what role you want to play in a better tomorrow. Then do it.

Officials at a local high school are warning parents about a popular game that could be dangerous for students.
In an email sent to parents of Lakota East High School students on Wednesday, administrators revealed this time of year is typical for 'Nerf Wars'.
Yes, the plastic toy guns that shoot foam ammunition.
In part, the email reads: "We have great kids at Lakota East. Unfortunately, this is the time of year when great kids sometimes make bad decisions."
School leaders say the Nerf Wars involve chasing other students around town in vehicles, in order to 'shoot' and eliminate the opponent from the game using Nerf guns.
Apparently, the students have gotten more savvy with the game. Officials say rules have been developed to avoid being 'shot', which include situations such as being at school or being nude in public.
Lakota East says Nerf Wars are a tradition that has been going on for a number of years, and they send out an email to parents every spring to remind parents to talk to their kids about making safe decisions.
According to administration, the game had bad consequences last year "where a group of students was involved in an accident and subsequently arrested for being nude at the time."
They also emphasized Lakota East does not condone the game, and Nerf Wars are not a school sanctioned activity.

TEAMS: New York Jets
Mike Goodson, RB, New York Jets Player Profile Height/Weight: 6-0/212 Birthdate: 5/23/1987 School: Texas A&M FANTASY FOOTBALL ANALYSIS Goodson finally gets a shot to be the guy for the Jets. He's going to battle to be the top dog with third-year back Bilal Powell in training camp, and if he can stay healthy, I believe he has the better skill set to be the dynamic player Shonn Greene never was. He's extremely quick but has a tendency to east and west instead of north and south. He wants to get outside the pocket instead of hitting the hole hard. If he does get past the first line, that's when he becomes an extremely dangerous threat. With only 35 attempts in Oakland last season he managed to break off two 43 yard runs and average 6.3 YPC. He is also dangerous out of the backfield catching passes. Last season he only caught 16 passes but one went for 64 and another for 37. He has the speed to make a fantasy impact and could possibly be a huge fantasy sleeper heading into 2013 draf...

Ruhlman, Michael
Adult Nonfiction TX649.R8 A3 2009
Summary: "Well reported and heartfelt, Ruhlman communicates the passion that draws the acolyte to this precise and frantic profession."-- The New York Times Book Review Just over a decade ago, journalist Michael Ruhlman donned a chef's jacket and houndstooth-check pants to join the students at the Culinary Institute of America, the country's oldest and most influential cooking school. But The Making of a Chef is not just about holding a knife or slicing an onion; it's also about the nature and spirit of being a professional cook and the people who enter the profession. As Ruhlman--now an expert on the fundamentals of cooking--recounts his growing mastery of the skills of his adopted profession, he propels himself and his readers through a score of kitchens and classrooms in search of the elusive, unnameable elements of great food. Incisively reported, with an insider's passion and attention to detail, The Making of a Chef remains the most vivid and compelling memoir of a professional culinary education on record.

University of Central Oklahoma music theatre alumnus Ryan Steer will return home to Oklahoma next month as part of the Broadway National Tour of "A Chorus Line."
The Norman native portrays the role of "Zach," the director in the production, which will be staged April 4 at the Bartlesville Community Center and April 5 at the Broken Arrow Performing Arts Center.
Steer, a 2009 Central graduate, has been on the road with the iconic musical since being cast last September following a painstaking audition process in New York City.
"I was number 677 at an open chorus call, and I had about four different rigorous callbacks. Fortunately, I booked it," Steer recalled.
Steer credits his theatrical training foundation at Central as a huge part of his success.
"Ryan came to us as a bright, eager, driven young man with potential, but left a solid 'triple threat,' excelling as an actor, singer and dancer," said Greg White, Ph.D., director of music theatre and producer of Broadway Tonight at Central.
The day he graduated, Steer moved to Beach Haven, N.J., to work for Surflight Theatre where he performed in "Lady Be Good," "Ragtime" and "Hairspray."
After moving to New York City in January 2010, Steer was offered a part in a regional production of "Cats" that took him to Phoenix, AZ.
"I came back to the city in April and 'A Chorus Line' was my third or fourth audition in NYC," said Steer. "I've been incredibly fortunate in terms of work. I realize that, and I am so thankful," he said.
Central music theatre faculty remember Steer as someone who worked hard and took advantage of what was offered him at Central.
"We accepted him into the program based on his potential, and through his extremely diligent work under the guidance of our faculty, Ryan realized his potential beyond even his own expectations. We are delighted, but not surprised, about his success and look forward to watching Ryan's future career," said Marilyn Govich, Central professor of music and division head for music theatre and opera.
Steer said he felt blessed with so much opportunity and guidance from both the School of Music and the Dance Department.
"For me, UCO was very much an incubator where I received the training I needed to hone my skills so I could really be competitive in the industry. What I learned from the incredible mentors like Dr. White, Dr. Govich, and Director of Dance Jamie Jacobson and the rest of the music and dance faculty has really been invaluable to my training and character. And I wouldn't want it any other way."

Brown rice and vegetable casserole with cheese
About a month ago I posted a photo on Instagram of the Rodale's Basic Natural Foods Cookbook. The recipe above is a rendition of their Spinach, Mushroom, and Brown Rice with Cheese. I've made that one before and it's really good.
I wanted to try to cut out the butter and oil and some of the cheese because let's face it that's what I do. The basic ingredients of rice and cheese and vegetables can be altered to your liking and whoever you are making this for. Next time I will use shallots that are cooked in a little oil. I think that would be really tasty. It makes a lot so you will have to find a person or persons to share this with. Enjoy!
Serves 4-6
- 2 1/2 cups water
- 3 cups Instant brown rice
- 1 clove crushed garlic
- 1 bag butternut squash (12 ounce size)
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1-2 tablespoons water
- 2 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees
- Cook rice according to package instructions
- Lightly spray pan with oil and add garlic, butternut squash and peas
- Cook 4-5 minutes on medium-high heat with 1-2 tablespoons of water
- Mix cooked rice with cooked squash, and peas,
- In separate bowl mix together softened cream cheese, yogurt, cottage cheese, dried parsley, pepper and salt
- Add to rice and vegetable mixture
- Mix in half of the parmesan cheese reserving half for top of casserole
- Spray glass casserole dish and add rice, vegetable and cheese mixture
- Sprinkle remaining parmesan cheese on top
- Bake 10 minutes and then turn on broiler and broil for 2 minutes watching closely
- Serve with hot sauce or sriracha

While building 55Prophets for iOS (you can download it here), I wanted to allow deep linking into the app. For example, I wanted users to be able to share links to specific questions. When someone accessed the link, I wanted the app to take them directly to that question, instead of dropping them into the home screen that appears on a normal app launch. However, the question page is typically several layers deep into a navigation stack. So how do you link directly into a view controller like this?

"The UK would appear to have around 4.2m cameras in operation," says Professor Clive Norris, of Sheffield University's centre for criminological research. "That's more than anywhere else in the world, with the possible exception of China. It's one for every 14 citizens."While you're here, admire the ANPR system, that will record every journey by private car, anywhere in the country and keep the information for five years. It will be switched on this summer. Not everyone is happy.
My audience were all gluttons for freedom, if by that you meant the freedom to hunt, or the freedom to eat roast beef without the fat trimmed off. But they were perfectly happy to see their own liberties curtailed, if that gave the authorities a chance to crack down on scroungers and bogus asylum-seekers.

Chapter 100 Reviews
Recap: Hiei rescued Yukina while Yusuke and Kuwabara fought the Toguros. Once knocked out, everyone left the mansion.
Komeko stood next to Botan awkwardly. The group had made their way from the mansion and were now quite curious about who she was. She stood there in the same thing she had been wearing since she showed up to help with Kurama, a white halter top that had floral printing, white wash jean shorts, pastel flats, and her usual multiple black beaded bracelets. Her tan skin shone brightly against the light colors and contrasted nicely with her dark curly hair that reached down around her hips. She was happy because, over night, all her bruises had disappeared quickly. She had to thank Kurama again for his salve.
Yusuke eyed her wearily, while Kurama and Botan already knew who she was and Hiei maintained his disinterest. So, she rubbed the back of her head and gave them a very similar explanation as she had said to Kurama the day before. Yusuke and Kuwabara were both exhausted, so they made their way to their normal homes while Yukina would later go back to her island.
Both Kurama and Komeko walked to school together a few days later. Since the events that happened over Tarukane, the two understood that they would see each other more often. The talk was small as they approached the gate, where Kurama was tackled by Ai, as usual. She smiled up at him brightly and gave Komeko a glare, scrunching up her face in a very ugly manner. Komeko brushed it off and just continued on her way to school, even though Kurama's eyes silently begged for help.
Lunch rolled around quickly and Komeko sat down with her tray and books. She ate her food by herself until she was interrupted by a meek looking girl with light brown hair and green eyes. Her voice was quiet as she spoke.
"Hello. My name is Rin Ryusaki. Would it be okay if I sit with you?"
She didn't see any problem with it really. "Sure. I'm Komeko Ishii. It's nice to meet you."
She sat down across from Komeko and smiled in thanks. They ate their food, while Komeko also read her book, mostly in silence. They parted ways with simple goodbyes when lunch was over, but Komeko couldn't shake off a feeling about the girl.
When school was done, Komeko and Kurama made their way back home.
"How'd your last class go?"
"It was alright. I might've made a new friend today, but she feels kinda funny to me. Her name was Rin Ryusaki."
"Hm, I met her today as well, but I didn't notice anything off about her."
They turned down a different street and waited for a light to change so they could cross.
"We'll just have to keep an eye on her then. I don't trust her as far as I could throw her, honestly, but I'm sure I could throw her skinny ass pretty far."
Kurama chuckled at Komeko lightly before crossing the street together.
"How'd you manage on Mr. Harada's test?"
"It wasn't that bad, but I've got to kick my butt in gear for Mrs. Kunda's test in two days." Komeko nodded thoughtfully.
They found themselves outside of Kurama's home.
"I'm doing pretty well in that class. I could help you study if you want?" He offered.
She thought about it for a moment and realized how modest he was being. He's freaking Kurama; of course he's acing the class. She looked at him and smiled, holding her hand out.
"It's a deal." They shook.
She felt slightly reluctant to lose his touch, but waved the feeling off quickly. "I'm going to leave a note for my mother and I'll meet you at your house in a few minutes, if that's ok?"
She agreed and they separated. When she got home, she changed into a pair of sweat pants and a black t-shirt that said "I ain't afraid of no ghost" with pac-man as the 'o' in ghost. She only had to wait a few minutes before Kurama showed up.
Komeko threw her pencil at the book, wanting to stab it. She was done studying and wanted to just relax for now. Kurama sighed next to her and closed his book. She gave him some puppy dog eyes and he conceded.
"Okay, we can take a break. I don't see a problem with that."
Komeko's stomach growled in hunger, so she glared down at it, mumbling, "Traitor," quietly.
Kurama smiled at her, but was nearly knocked off his feet when she had grabbed him by his hand and dragged him downstairs and into the kitchen. She let go of him quickly, but he was surprised at her strength. She started rifling through her refrigerator and came out with a few different ingredients stacked in her arms.
"Look good?"
He understood what she was going to make, so he rolled up his sleeves to help her.
Roughly forty-five minutes later, they both sat down at her table with dinner in front of them. Komeko ate her food happily and smiled over at Kurama. She savored the bite.
"We're pretty awesome cooks!" She laughed.
He smiled at her and nodded his agreement. Once they were done, Komeko stood and grabbed both of their dishes and brought them to the sink to wash them. She ran the hot water and her mind wandered for just a minute. She straightened from her temporary daze when Kurama asked her a question.
"I'm sorry, could you repeat that?"
"I just asked if you'd like to meet up and study again tomorrow after school." He didn't mind that she had spaced.
"Yeah, that sounds great!"
She finished up the dishes and dried off her hands before walking Kurama to the entrance. Then, she decided she would test the boundaries of their new friendship. As they stood in front of the door to say goodbye, she wrapped her arms around him in a quick hug. He returned it after a second of being surprised. They parted and she thanked him again for helping her out.
"I'll see you tomorrow!"
He nodded and she closed the door.
Komeko stood outside the gate of her school the next afternoon waiting for Kurama to meet up with her. She checked her watch after a few more minutes and realized she probably wouldn't end up seeing him. She sniffed the air for a moment and realized his scent wasn't that far off. She started walking towards the park a few minutes away from the school. She kept herself hidden behind a few trees and looked out at a set of benches.
A frown settled on her face as she saw Kurama. The part that really irked her was who he was sitting with – Rin. She sniffed the air and caught both their scents and grimaced when Rin's revealed something a little more than she wanted to know. The girl was very attracted to Kurama in a very intimate manner, the downsides of being a Tsuiseki demon – no, a demon in general.
With a new found irritation, she stomped most of the way back to her home. She normally wasn't the jealous type, but she felt jilted. She didn't think Kurama was that sort of person, but it couldn't help except to remind her that most men didn't always think with their other head. Rin even had her top unbuttoned to show some cleavage, that cheap bitch.
She slammed the door to her home and made her way to go study. A while later, she was ready to pull her hair out in frustration, so she slammed her book shut and quit for the night.
She continued to get ditched the rest of the week. She hadn't even had the chance to walk with him to school anymore. She was peeved about it and it honestly did hurt her feelings. She tried to not think about it. Instead, she had started to hang around Keiko a bit more. She was on her way to the girl's house right now. She knocked on the door and waited.
The door cracked open to reveal Keiko. "Hi, Komeko. I almost forgot you were coming over."
She laughed a little and moved to let her in. Komeko started to put her foot over the doorstep and stopped. An unpleasant scent hit her nose and she realized that none other than Rin was seated on Keiko's couch. She continued on her way to walk into Keiko's home, the foolish girl be damned. She was going to hang out with someone and not let her get in the way. To maintain her polite attitude, she waved to Rin briefly.
Rin nodded and set her drink down on the table.
Once the door was closed, Komeko and Keiko both walked over to the couch. Keiko sat between the two girls and leaned back happily.
"So, how has everything been, Komeko?" Rin asked curiously.
"Fine, just fine."
Keiko suddenly seemed to feel the tension and stood up quickly. "Could I get you something to drink, Komeko?"
Before she even said anything, Keiko was already getting her one from the kitchen. Komeko was slightly surprised at first, but turned to Rin expectantly. Her face seemed to darken and look more threatening than it had before. Komeko had a small epiphany when she thought more about the girl and her demeanor.
"I don't know what your game is, but I'm not playing. I'll give you one warning and one warning only to leave my friends alone. I know you're not human, even if you don't have any demonic presence and I know you're not here for their benefit." Komeko threatened.
Rin's eyes widened for a moment and then narrowed back down. "I don't have to do anything and I guarantee that if you try to out me, they won't believe you."
Komeko stood to leave before Keiko even came back. "I warned you."
Then she was gone out the door.

Last year, the Seahawks brought in Matt Flynn to be their starting quarterback and he was beat out by rookie Russell Wilson.

They subtly intertwine the three-finger picking and clawhammer style of banjo playing to accompany smooth vocals and harmonies in songs and ballads of love, loss and revenge. The five piece lineup's striking sound is based around the banjo duo of Deborah Arnott and Clare Neilson and deftly captured by drums, Roddy Neilson on fiddle and Hugh Kelly.

"Beautiful, delicate card. I opted for the upgraded shimmer & scalloped edge as shown, which definitely helped to make this card. Overall it was a bit smaller than I was expecting (although the dimensions are spot on), for some reason I was expecting a bigger card...would have been perfect as a 5x7 or 6x8. I also glued little pearls from the craft store onto each white corner & in the center of the cross to add a bit more dimension. Love the final product with a few tweaks!"
"The paper quality, design and everithing is excellent. you can personalize all the text, i live in Mexico and wrote everithing in spanish and was perfect. I love the products and service of tiny prints. Congratulations!!!!"
"Very pleased with this product. I added the shimmer to them and the quality of the cards for the price is amazing. Just a very happy customer :()"
"After searching everywhere for the perfect baptism invitation for my little girl I finally found the one! It is delicate, classy, and very elegant. I chose the scalloped trim, the solid pink back, and white pearlescent envelopes. The online rendering really does not do it any justice. It is even prettier in person. Paper quality and print is flawless, and they were delivered faster than I expected. I am extremely pleased with the product, and everyone that has received it has commented on how beautiful the invitation is, and has asked me where I ordered them from. Will be shopping tiny prints again!"
"Love the simple nature of this card. One more line would be nice to add for additional info (such as "join us for mass at 12:00!) but no biggie, I just hand wrote on the back for a personal touch. I got the flat regular paper but would also look nice in the pearl/ shimmer paper."

Anna Catherine TylerJuly 22,2014
Anna Catherine Tyler
BRATTLEBORO Anna Catherine Shirley Tyler, 89, of Brattleboro, died Friday morning, July 18, 2014.

She was proud to have made each of her childrens wedding cakes. She took great pride in her home and was active for many years with the Brattleboro Home Demonstration Group. Never an idle person, Shirley also enjoyed ceramics, painting with oils, photography and travel. She most cherished her trips to Ireland, Scotland and Wales with her husband.
She was a faithful and devoted wife and loving mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, whose life centered around her family.
Besides her husband of 67 years, she leaves three daughters, Kate Tyler of Westminster, Deborah Tyler of Brattleboro and Martha Tyler Gouger and her husband, Jeffrey, of Brattleboro; one son, Brian Tyler and his wife Jill of Brattleboro; one brother, Paul Hubner, Sr. and his wife Donna, of Chesterfield; and a sister, Cynthia Cindy Clark, and her husband Edward of Guilford.

Top Ten Strongest Men in The World
So you think you have abs of steel and chiseled biceps? You've got nuttin' on these infamous strong men.
They lift refrigerators and pull semi trucks at the drop of a hat and make it look easy!
Their man caves are probably full of barbells, brewskies, and babes.
Can you compete with that?
10. Ronnie Coleman: Body Builder, 1964-present
At 5'11" weighing 300 pounds, Coleman has won the Olymia bodybuilding competition a whopping eight times! He is undoubtedly one of the strongest men in the world.
9. Paul Anderson: Weightlifter, powerlifter, showman, 1932 -1994
Not to be confused with Paul Thomas Anderson, director of Boogie Nights, this 5'9″, 350 pound Olympic super-heavy weightlifting gold medal winner was rumored to have squatted 1,200 pounds! That's like lifting 4 Shaquille O'Neals at once!
8. Leonid Taranenko: Weightlifter, 1956- present
This Russian gold medalist set 2 world record for lifting in 1988; 585 pounds and 1,045 pounds. At 6′ and 321 pounds, Taranenko's records still stand today!
7. Andy Bolton: Powerlifter, 1970 – present
This brute Brit is the current world record holder in both the squat (1,213.63 pounds), the deadlift (1,003 pounds), and the total for the three powerlifting moves (2,806.45 pounds). Weighing in at 340 pounds, he is the only man in history who has deadlifted 1,000 pounds. His goal is to lift 3,000. Ouch!
6. Brian Siders: Powerlifter, 1978 – present
This 6'2″, 345 pound youngster has personal bests of 975 pounds in the squat, 744 pounds in the bench and a deadlift of 826 pounds. This totals 2,529 pounds! Siders prides himself on achieving these feats without the use of performance enhancing supplements.
5. Louis Uni a.k.a. Apollon: Strongman, 1862 – 1928
Height 6'3″ Weight 260 pounds
Known as the world's first strength athlete, this 6'3″, 260 pound behemoth was known for his great pulling power, grip strength and large hands. He is rumored to be capable of lifting bars over his head that others couldn't even budge. A legend among manly men, he also had a mustache to rival Tom Selleck's.
4. Vasyl Virastyuk: Strongman, 1978 – present
Height 6'2 3/4″ Weight 350 pounds
The first person to ever claim the world's most strongest man in both the IFSA World Championship and MET-Rx's World's Strongest Man competition, Virastyuk is only 29 years old! At 6'2″, 350 pounds, he's currently a track and field coach and member of the Ukranian national shot put team.
3. Bill Kazmaier: Powerlifter, strongman, 1935 – present
You want manly? This 6'3″, 330 pound winner of the 1980, '81 and '82 World's Strongest Man contests was actually barred from competing for several years! Why? Not steroids or human growth hormone. The judges just wanted other competitors to have a chance to win!
2 Mark Henry: Weightlifter, strongman, wrestler, 1971 – present
You may know him as a WWE fighter now, but Mark Henry began as a champion strongman! 6'1″ Weight 410 pounds
At one point, this 6'1″ , 410 pound giant held both the U.S. weightlifting and powerlifting super-heavyweight championship titles at the same time. He also has the greatest combined weightlifting/powerlifting total in history.
1 Zydrunas Savickas: Powerlifting, strongman, 1975 – present
This six-time winner of the Arnold Strongman Classic, this 6'3″, 385 pound legend has broken three world records and is only 32! He's widely considered one of the strongest men who has ever lived.

|Thumbs Up overall.
This event kind of gave me flashbacks to some of the old ECW and past ROH events at the ECW Arena. I think that UFC in Brazil = The ECW Arena of the UFC
Tim Lee
Orange County, CA
I give UFC 142: Rio 2 thumbs up.
I think that the fighters were having a contest for the coolest finish. What an insane finish to a show. I didn't think Mendes had much of a chance going in and he showed that he's one of the top in his weight class. Aldo is a still a step above him. And I really liked the finish that came kinda out of nowhere but Barboza easily gets KO of the night and quite possibly of 2012 with the kick the threw. Palhares's leg lock was nice too. Erick Silva was robbed but that goes without saying, a rematch is needed here. I had Tavares over Stout 29-28, 29-28 for Alcantara, and Arantes over Carvalho with the same score. Really good show. Having a loud crazy crowd helps a show when the card isn't as stacked.
Jason McNeil
Hi Everyone,
Bar I was at was pretty full, more than they expected although it started to empty out before the Belfort fight which was strange.
I gave the show a thumbs up
Best Fight:Alcantara vs Omigawa
Worst Fight:none
Best KO: Edson Barboza
Best Sub:Rousimar Palhares
Ricardo Funch vs. Mike Pyle - Great start to the card to get the crowd going with the KO.
Yuri Alcantara vs. Michihiro Omigawa -Omigawa was lucky to escape the 1st round with the armbar at the buzzer. Thought this was a very entertaining fight with some nice action.
Gabriel Gonzaga vs. Ednaldo Oliveira - Gonzaga needed this win and he looked impressive taking it to the ground.
Sam Stout vs. Thiago Tavares The fight match up was exactly like Lesnar vs Overeem but at lighter weights. Stout couldn't impose his will in the first round as Tavares kept taking him down. I thought the second round was very close and could have gone either way and that decided the fight. Stout seemed to have more gas than Tavares as Tavares couldn't get him to the ground.
Edson Barboza vs. Terry Etim - a fast paved fight. Barboza's striking was more crisp and accurate but Etim never backed up. A hilight reel KO.
Carlo Prater vs. Erick Silva - Silva was a beast. Not sure about the reversed decision though. If I was Mario Yamazaki I wouldn't answer the door at his hotel if someone knocks and says "Room Service"
Mike Massenzio vs. Rousimar Palhares -another quick one that you cant comment on but a great submission to win. Palhares is a tank.
Vitor Belfort vs. Anthony Johnson - Johnson sure didn't look as impressive as his hilight reel, the weight cut must have really drained him. Great story ending with Vitor getting the choke.
Jose Aldo Jr. vs. Chad Mendes - Aldo looked amazing here and totally healthy. I think it would have been a long night for Mendes if this went longer and his leg would have been hamburger. It is a safe bet that Chael Sonnen would not do what Aldo did if he wins in Brazil.

Thumbs up!
What a fun show! I honestly bought this tonight looking to avoid Tebowmania but came away feeling like this was the best PPV I've bought in few months. Two "holy shit" KOs, one awesome submission finish, and another totally unexpected submission finish made this well worth my money. The DQ was frankly horrendous, one would hope that the UFC can learn a lot from that and figure out how to better integrate replay so their officials aren't hung on ledge like poor Mario tonight when they make a mistake. (Especially a bad one that costs a guy a win!) The finish where Aldo ran into the crowd was just one of those special moment that make you love sports. This show was just what UFC needed to kick the year off with, with so much going wrong for them the last few weeks.
- Jack Wofford
Following thoughts encompass my entire feelings about tonight's show:
A. Holy FUCKING SHIT. When even Gabriel Gonzaga has a good match, you know it's a good
B. I had considered skipping this PPV for a number of reasons. Right before the main, I
leaned over to my friend and said "If I ever say I'm going to skip a PPV this heavy in
Brazilians, please slap the piss out of me." Boys and girls, if you didn't get the PPV,
get the replay. We're talking PPV of the year here.

Living legend, DJ extraordinaire, hip hop pioneer, founder of the Zulu Nation, and someone whose influence on music and popular culture is nearly impossible to measure—Afrika Bambaataa—was gracious enough to don and use Skullcandy SK PRO DJ headphones at a gig last week. He was also kind enough to let photographer Quang Le snap this image to memorialize the event. We're not easily star struck, but man…it's BAM! RESPECT.
Mondomix (Paris, France) is making a book about urban music (an history of rock, jazz, reggae, afrobeat, raï, bhangra, salsa, electro, r'n'b, dub, slam,...). To illustrate the Afrika Bambaata page, we are looking for a picture of him, so i would like to know if we can use this one for free. Your name would of course be credited. Thank you for your answer,
Best regards,

Hello, I would like to ask again if we can use this Bambaataa picture or if you can tell us where you found it if you're not the photographer. Best regards, Marie pourcel

NORFOLK -- Everyone dreams about winning the lottery, but for one Norfolk nurse that dream recently became a reality.
Every day, on her way home from work, Nelda Booker stops for a cup of coffee and often a lottery ticket at her favorite 7-Eleven in the 200 block of Newtown Road in Va. Beach.
That routine took an exciting turn when she scratched a ticket and won $100. She then used part of her winnings to buy a Millionaire Mania ticket.
A moment later she returned to the store clerk, who asked, "Did you have another $100 winner?"
"Oh no," she replied. "I've got a BIG winner!"
Indeed she did. Her Millionaire Mania ticket was worth $500,000.
Booker said she has no immediate plans for her winnings. "I'm just going to let it settle in," she said.

by Pekka Louhiala; Cambridge, United Kingdom, Cambridge University Press, 2004, 182 pages, $60 softcover
Dr. Somers is a child psychiatry fellow at the University of Massachusetts Medical School in Worcester.
The book Preventing Intellectual Disability broadly examines the implications of modern medical techniques for the prevention of intellectual disability. In Western societies in the early 21st century, this primarily involves the prenatal identification, through genetic testing or other means, of affected—or potentially affected—fetuses and subsequent selective abortion. Pekka Louhiala, a pediatrician and trained philosopher, considers the important ethical questions arising from the expanding availability and modern-day use of such technology. In doing so, he employs selected discussion of clinical and epidemiological literature, reflection upon important historical considerations, and extensive philosophical dissection of the various assumptions and justifications related to the use of these techniques.
The book begins with a presentation of four case scenarios. Each highlights different aspects of the complex issues arising from efforts to prevent intellectual disability. From there, a series of chapters covers the topics of the definition of intellectual disability, the epidemiology of intellectual disability, general issues in the prevention of intellectual disability, prenatal diagnosis and screening, and genetic counseling. These chapters set the groundwork for the following two chapters, which are to some degree less didactic in nature; rather, they focus much more on philosophical discussion.
First, the question of why intellectual disability should be prevented is considered, and the author critiques a handful of the major arguments in favor of prevention. Arguments include those made with eugenic goals—such as goals aimed at removing "abnormal" genes from the human genome—those asserting the medical abortion of such fetuses to be an extension of Nature's own proclivity to abort fetuses with congenital aberrations, which is termed "fetal-wastage" in this text. Other major arguments are those considering the burdens—primarily the economic ones, which are the easiest to quantify—borne by both families and society as a result of intellectual disability, and those considering the quality of life of intellectually disabled individuals.
The next chapter deals with the issue of the "moral status" of people with intellectual disabilities. Moral status is defined as "a means of specifying those entities towards which we believe ourselves to have moral obligations" (1). In this chapter, the author highlights the how the ethical implications of preventive efforts are affected by the degree to which intellectually disabled individuals are considered to have moral status that is equivalent to that of the unimpaired.
Finally, in the concluding two chapters, the ethical principles developed in the preceding chapters are applied. First, the author considers them in the context of three diagnoses associated with intellectual disability: Down syndrome, fragile X syndrome, and aspartylglucosaminuria, an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease that is most common in Finland. Second, the author returns to the four cases presented at the beginning of the book, utilizing them to highlight the most salient points and his conclusions.
The book reads as more of an ethical and philosophical discussion than as a medical text or reference book. Overall, I found it to be very readable and thought provoking. The author does an exceptional job of breaking down and defining concepts as they come up, which made it feel quite accessible to someone with a medical and clinical, rather than philosophical, background. In addition to people who work primarily with people with intellectual disabilities, this book would likely be of interest to those who work in child mental health.

Turn Empty Bottles Into a Candy Corn Display
The Swell Life
Halloween is one of those seasonal holidays I have a hard time collecting decor for. Not for any reason other than the fact that space is short and the time it's actually on display seems short. This project, however, looks easily done and creates a great deal of holiday spirit without the commitment to keep them around after all the trick-or-treaters have gone.
Over at The Swell Life there's always a neat-o Halloween craft going on and this one is no different. The idea is a simple one, and perfect for all sorts of folks, even those who claim to not be crafty.
Empty bottles were spray painted with white and then a few stripes of orange and yellow. They take on the look of the beloved treat, Candy Corn. You could make a whole display for your table, your outdoor patio while the weather is still nice, or even give them as gifts filled them with sweets or flowers.
Check out all the details over at The Swell Life and make sure to check out their archives to see all their other spooky crafts and projects.

Sometimes I feel like I am the only person in the world who loves candy corn. And mallocreme pumpkins.
Sometimes I feel like I'm the only person who strongly dislikes being bombarded with Halloween talk/merchandise any sooner than October 1. Seriously, have you seen the stores already? Halloween crap has been out in full force since late August...
I'm actually fine with Halloween stuff starting in early September. What I'm not okay with is all the Christmas displays that started before the Halloween stuff even appeared. I like my holidays like 5-year-olds like their food -- not touching or mixed together.
As to candy corn, I hate the taste of that stuff. I think it's something you have to grow up loving, like wax lips and candy buttons. I do, however, love the look and tradition of it. And I love the bottles. I think I'll be making a few to stand opposite my inevitable carved pumpkin army!
I get none of this in Jamaica, so thank you!

You might. Working without EAD is not, without more, a disqualifier for immediate relatives of USCs.
No, since you are the "immediate relative" of a USC now, you have nothing to fear anymore. Immediate relatives are not expected to maintain status, nor is any unauthorized employment have any consequences for them.
You will have no complications whatsoever. The only complications you might face is if your try to file for AOS on your own and make mistakes and have omissions along the way, which could considerably delay your green card application.

Who walks away from their home?
Research sheds light on the sophisticated calculations and planning by those who strategically default on mortgages.
This post comes from Marilyn Lewis at MSN Money.
In these strange and stressful times, a group of financially sophisticated homeowners has arisen who're using foreclosure as a means of exiting bad real estate investments.
Unlike financially distressed homeowners who struggle to pay the mortgage until they're overwhelmed by debt, strategic defaulters can make their home payments but decide they're better off bailing, usually when the home's value drops below the mortgage amount.
A recent research paper by FICO -- "Predicting Strategic Default" -- sheds new light on this group.
"These are savvy people who organize themselves," said Andrew Jennings, FICO's chief analytics officer. "This is a planned activity, not an impulse activity."
Defaulters profiled
Anticipating that their credit is about to be destroyed, these homeowners tend to open new credit cards before defaulting. They keep up with all their other debts after defaulting on the mortgage. They rarely exceed credit card limits and don't much use retail credit cards.
The Post says that homeowners more likely to strategically default:
- Are angry about their financial situations.
- Mistrust banks and want them to be better regulated.
- Know someone who defaulted strategically.
- Have new mortgages with relatively large balances.
- Have higher credit scores, typically FICO scores above 620 (of a possible 850).
On the other hand, people are less willing if they think strategic default is immoral, research has shown.
USA Today adds that strategic defaulters are savvy about using credit: "More than 35% of non-strategic defaulters max out their credit cards vs. less than 10% of strategic defaulters":
While the exact number of strategic defaults can't be determined, studies indicate they account for many lost homes. The University of Chicago Booth School of Business estimates that strategic defaults accounted for 35% of defaults in September vs. 26% in March 2009. In January, the Nevada Association of Realtors released a study showing that 23% of Nevadans who lost homes admitted to strategically defaulting.
Each default -- strategic or otherwise -- hurts not only banks but all property owners, since more cheap foreclosures dumped onto the market drive down home values and hurt communities.
Keep it in perspective
But keep the numbers in perspective, Sam Khater, a senior economist at the mortgage research firm CoreLogic, told the Post.
- Calculator: How much house can you afford?
Only 7% of 11 million underwater American homeowners have defaulted so far. Even if -- and it's unlikely -- all those defaults were strategic, it's still a "relatively small number," Khater points out.
"Strategic default starts to make sense for borrowers who are extremely underwater on their loans with little prospect for price recovery," Khater says. With home prices nearing a bottom, the impetus for strategically defaulting is fading.
FICO is the company whose credit-scoring tools are used by lenders to decide whether to grant you credit (or a job or apartment). FICO says its "predictive analysis" tools let users predict fraud and "customize consumer offers with pinpoint accuracy."
Lately, its researchers have focused on identifying the hallmarks of borrowers most likely to walk away from a mortgage. Its recent report is part of a push to market products that FICO says help lenders spot strategic defaulters before they bail. Other companies -- CoreLogic is one -- has similar tools.
HousingWire writes:
FICO reports that borrowers whose homes lost the most value are only twice as likely to default as those who lost the least value. Through its custom analytics, FICO is able to identify the riskiest borrowers, who are 110 times more likely to default than the average homeowner.
The riskiest 20% of borrowers in FICO research included 67% of those who later committed strategic default, the research firm said.
But only USA Today addresses -- and just in passing -- how lenders and mortgage servicers might use this information:
By identifying at-risk borrowers sooner, lenders may be able to guide them to options other than strategic default, say Frank Pallotta of Loan Value Group. His company aims to reduce strategic defaults by getting lenders to reward borrowers who pay off their loans.
An online industry
The FICO report does not touch on the online world of tips, tactics, businesses and community that has sprung up for strategic defaulters.
There's a mix of fact, opinion and speculation, some verifiable, some not. You'd want to think carefully before basing any legal or financial decisions on it. And remember that any "advice" you find may be guiding you to products and services for sale.
- Calculator: Should you rent or buy?
"Hi, it's Christine again. I want to talk with you about how to plan for strategic default," YouTuber ChristineESpringer tells viewers.
Her profile identifies her as a paralegal and founder of Desert Edge Legal Services LLC, a legal services company based in Scottsdale, Ariz., that specializes in foreclosures.
Springer shares tips like: Withdraw your money from the bank holding your mortgages before you default. Your bank "can and they will empty your bank account" to collect on outstanding debts.
At another site, StrategicDefault.com, readers post stories and comments. A related site, YouWalkAway.com, uses a live chat agent and offers a strategic default calculator that lets users run their numbers. The owner, a San Diego foreclosure agency, guides homeowners through the foreclosure process for a fee.
"We walked away and after 1 year my wife's score is 775!" exults one entry. "Thank you for your support, YouWalkAway.com, your fee was money well spent!"
