egan Hauserman finally breaks her silence on the tragedy that completely turned the world of reality television, and Megan's own reality, upside down.
I usually don't like to title the post with a quote, but there just isn't a better way in this case.
You all know by now that I'm a fan of Megan Hauserman. In fact, I would go as far as to say that she is the only reality television personality that I'm actually a fan of. If you're unfamiliar with Megan, make sure to read my previous featured posts on her, and you'll get familiar. She's someone you should know for one reason or another.
First and foremost, she's a reality television superstar. I mentioned briefly that Megan had achieved reality gold in landing her own spinoff dating show appropriately titled Megan Wants A Millionaire and that it was prematurely cancelled. Honestly, I wasn't sure how comfortable the TV star was with speaking about what had happened. Now, in this weeks issue of People, Megan sets the record straight on the real life tragedy that could have prematurely ended her shot at television fame.
The interview is really good. It reveals a lot about what Megan went through during this trying time, and it even reveals a few details about the story that the public hadn't yet been exposed to. It doesn't, however, champion Megan for all that she has accomplished and overcome. It should have… because she deserves it! She's a good person at heart. While this may be a time for, as Megan says, reevaluating and re-prioritizing, Hauserman's future is bright, and I predict that for us, it will be documented by Vh1.

o remember why I started writing and where I want to go.
I've had a lot of fun writing. I like that I started writing this blog in an attempt to rally for a job blogging with Vh1. I really like that Megan Hauserman of Vh1 fame has reposted my blog and contact information on her website in support. More importantly, I love that I kept writing both because I wanted to, and because people have actually been reading.
Thanks Megan!
Anyway, I started by posting some NYU film critiques, and by reviewing some reality shows. Once I started to pick up the pace, I started to focus my writing on things I was really interested in like Hollywood, inspiring facts, the fame platform, bad girl bombshells, and, of course, Paul Newman.
Having said that, and while I do love me some Jwoww, I just wanted to remind myself, and hopefully inspire at least one other reader, of why I dedicated this blog to my hero Paul Newman.
Paul was never the greatest technical actor, but he worked extremely hard, he never gave up on his dream, and above all else, he had star quality. More importantly than what he had, is what he did. As of 2008 (it's now 2010, remember), Paul Newman is credited as donating over $280 million to charity, all due to a good head on his shoulders, a heart in the right place, and a massive platform.
Cool Hand Luke is my favorite Paul Newman movie because of it's message:
There are always going to be people in your life who don't get it. They'll feel like they should have power over you, for one reason or another, but if you're the right kind of person, a person with that star quality, that little something special, then they'll always be a step behind, wondering what makes you tick.

Young Cop KillersStudents found out their buddy was an undercover cop & wanted revenge
You can find the town of Midlothian, Texas on a good map. The town of 7000 is located 25 miles south of Dallas. Not that much happens in Midlothian, but in 1987, the town fathers realized that drug dealers, so prevalent in Dallas, had found a new market among the youth of their community, particularly among the students of Midlothian high school.
Although the "Just Say No" program initiated by President Ronald Reagan's wife, Nancy, was well entrenched in the high school, it was common knowledge that marijuana, cocaine and amphetamines were being used openly at the high school.
Undercover Senior
The town council, in conjuntion with the police, decided an undercover agent would be placed in the high school to ferret out the source of the drugs. George William Raffield was 21 years old, but looked 17. It was he who was also picked to be the undercover agent posing as a Midlothian student. George was working as a police dispatcher in the small town of Red Oak when he was summoned for the job.
He spent a month training with the narcotics section of the Dallas Police Force. In preparation for the sensitive assignment, Raffield underwent a name change. He became George Moore. George was given a cover story. He had come to Midlothian from Temple, Texas, and was living with an uncle. He would be visiting his girlfriend back in Temple most weekends. He would also be purchasing drugs for resale in his hometown.
In reality, George had never been to Temple, but he spent several days there so he could answer questions about the town if he was queiried by his anticipated new friends.
Authorities saw to it that George was equipped with a set of marks from Temple high school, then enrolled as a Grade 12 student in Midlothian.
To add to th authenticity and avoid leaks in his cover no teachers at Midlothian were told of the undercover agent in their midst. George Moore didn't smoke or drink, but he was taught how to drag on marijuana without inhaling. He shaved his moustach. He was issued an old truck, supposedly belonging to his uncle.
Police would always know he was at school when they saw the truck in the parking lot. George was instructed to check in with the police by telephone each night. George Moore was prepared. He went back to school and gradually made new friends. Greg Knighten and George became buddies after George learned Knighten could score drugs. When Knighten went to Dallas to score, George would ask him to pick up some weed for him, too. At night, George would turn over his purchases to the local police chief. He soon learned the names of the contacts in Dallas. This information was also passed along to the police. Good friends Jonathan Jobe and Richard Goeglein got to know the new kid in town. They liked George Moore. He seemed nice enough with his snappy 1986 GMC pickup and his willingness to chip on weed purchases.
As the months passed, things just didn't add up when it came to George Moore. Little things. George didn't blast his stereo in the truck like other kids. He seemed to be always flush with money. He was often asked to his friends' homes, but he never had any friends over to his uncle's house. he always bought dope but was relctant to light up.
Raising Suspicions
Maybe, Cynthia Frederick, Knighten's friend, was the first to put the finger on George Moore. She didn't like him right from the beginning. When her hot stereo was conviscated by police right after George and the boys had been to her apartment, she was sure he was a narc.
Toward the end of October, on a Texas football Friday, Greg an into Jonathan and Richard. He had become convinced that George Moore was a narc and someone had to do something about it. He told them that his contacts in Dallas had been arrested and that Cynthia's stolen stereo had been picked up by police. In fact, it was Cynthia who had suggested to him something drastic had to be done about George before he had them all behind bars. Jonathan agreed. Something had to be done. a good beating should do the trick. Greg thought that more serious action had to be taken. He asked his two friends to come over to his house that evening. When they showed up, Greg produced a .38-calibre pistol belonging to his father. He begged Jonathan to come in on the scheme to eliminate the narc. Gradually, Jonathan agreed. So did Richard.
The die was cast. Greg and Richard would get George Moore to ick them up. They would drive down to he countryside. Jonathan would pick them up in his truck after the job was done. That same night, George drove up to Greg's house and leaned on his horn. Greg nd Richard joined him in the GMC. Jonathan went out the back door with instructions to pick up his friends on Road 875.
Premeditated Revenge
George drove the pickup down the road. He and his friends decided to pull up in a pasture, open the doors, blast the stereo and get out of the vehicle. They sat on the tailgate, like ordinary teenagers passing the time. They listened to the music, It was pleasant out there on that clear fall night. One of the boys said, "George, would you turn up the music?" George driopped off the tailgate and started walking toward the open door of his ruck. Three shots peirced the night air. The first struck George in the back of the head. The second graze his head. The last shot missed it's target. George was dead before the third shot was fired. Greg reached down and took his wallet.
Just before 8 o'clock, the boys walked down the pasture road to 875. there they met Jonathan as scheduled. They drove to Cynthia's apartment. On the way, they opened George's walle.It contained $18.
Cynthia took over. She burned George's Driver's liscence and threw his wallet into a trash can. Later, Jonathan and Richard drove to Jonathan's home. Richard phoned a girlfriend and told her the whole story.
He was a little surprised when she told him tht Greg had often bragged about what he was going to do to the narc at school. That very night, others who had been partying at Cynthias heard that George Moore had been shot. In fact, the more Richard listened, the more he realized that his friends all over town were humming with the news of the shooting.
Accomplice to Murder
Richard was scared sick. He hadn't pulled the trigger, but he had witnessed the cold-blooded killing. Jonathan rationalized. He hadn't really taken part. He had only picked up hi friends. Yet he had known about the plan and had done nothing. Neither boy slept well that night.
Police officials were concerned. George Moore hadn't made his routine call tht night. When an undercover officer disappears, there is every reason for concern. By dawn the following morning, a massive search was underway for the issing officer. Men on horseback, on foot and in vehicles searched the smal town and surrounding prairie. When the sun broke the next morning, helicopters were vrought in to assist the search. George's body was found lying where he was shit. It didn't take Sherlock Holmes to learn the identities of the oys who had taken his life.
Since the murder took place, all four i on the plot to murder George Moore have been tried, found guilty and sentenced. Jonathan Jobe was sentenced to eight years imprisonment. He served two years and is now free. Greg Knighten and Richard Goeglein were sentence to 40 to 45 years each.
Cynthia Frecrick was convicted of conspiracy to commit murder.She was sentenced to eight years imprisonment but only served a year and a half before being released.
Today, Midlothian cief of police Roy Vaughn, who hired George Raffield states, "Our community recognized the fact that we had a problem and decided to do something about it. George Raffield was a fine young man, a dedicated officer who planned to make police work his career. Since his tragic death, there have been many positive changes in our community." George Raffield was vuried with full police honours. A scholoarship in his name is awardded each year at Midlothian high school.

I am studying for my tech license. What I would like to know is, what bands will I be able to operate on? I know the say vhf/uhf, and above 30khz. But what confuses me is, I don't know what "bands" are included. I believe 2 meter, and 6 meter, are included. But I hear things refered to in khz, then meters, then vhf, ect. Then when it comes to buying a radio, I get even more lost. Are there radios that are only 2 meter, or only 6 meter? Are there radios that cover eveything? Or everything, a tech license is good for? I guess I am looking for a simple explanation. Mabye there is'nt one. Thanks in advance.
One more question. Is vhf, and marine radio the same thing? And do you need a license for marine radio?

Interview and photo by Michael Lizarraga.
When Lon Chaney Sr. drove by a tall, thin contract actor waiting for a bus one night in the pouring rain, the famous movie star did more than just offer this unassuming Englishman a ride home; he gave his passenger some acting tips that would forever change his life: "Find something that no one else is doing or willing to do, and do it better than anyone else; leave your mark."
The unassuming passenger, of course, was Boris Karloff.
From its 1910 screen debut to the recent I, Frankenstein and upcoming Whale/Karloff remake, Mary Shelley's "man playing God" tale has cinematically endured for over a century, largely due to the "quarterback" and "maestro" of all monsters, Boris Karloff. Twice inscribed on Hollywood's Walk of Fame, twice featured on the U.S. stamp, his voice heard every Christmas throughout millions of homes, Karloff »

For the next four years she was Paramount's favorite soubrette, overemphasizing her big mouth and gorgeous legs in a series of zany comedy roles. She also proved to be a convincing romantic lead for Bob Hope (a lifelong friend) in such films as Give Me a Sailor (1938) and Never Say Die (1939). Dropped by Paramount in 1940, she moved to Universal, where she was seen to good advantage in The Boys From Syracuse (1940), Abbott and Costello's Keep 'Em Flying (in a dual role in 1941), and Olsen and Johnson's Hellzapoppin' (1941); during this period she also returned to Broadway, co-starring with Al Jolson (with whom she'd previously appeared on radio) in Hold On to Your Hats. During WWII, Raye and her pals Carole Landis, Kay Francis, and Mitzi Mayfair formed a U.S.O. troupe, performing tirelessly under incredibly difficult and dangerous conditions before thousands of enthusiastic G.I.s; the four actresses later starred in a fictionalized retelling of this experience, Four Jills in a Jeep (1944).
After the war, she essayed her greatest screen role in Charlie Chaplin's Monsieur Verdoux (1947), playing a brash and very wealthy widow whom wife-killer Chaplin can not murder no matter how hard he tries. From 1953 to 1954 she starred in her own weekly TV variety series and continued to appear in night clubs throughout the '50s. In 1962 she starred in her last major film, Billy Rose's Jumbo, opposite Doris Day and Jimmy Durante, and five years later spent seven months in the title role of the Broadway hit Hello Dolly. Indefatigably resuming her U.S.O. activities during the Vietnam war, she became the troops' favorite performer, earning the affectionate nickname "Boondock Maggie," an honorary commission as Marine Colonel from President Johnson, and the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award at the 1969 Academy Awards ceremony. Unfortunately, her activities in Southeast Asia also incurred the wrath of Hollywood's anti-war activists, who unfairly labeled Raye a "hawk" and "warmonger" and did their best to prevent her finding film or TV work.
She was rescued by producer puppeteers Sid and Marty Krofft, who cast her as Boss Witch in the 1970 theatrical feature Pufnstuf and as the aptly named Benita Bizarre in the Saturday morning TV series The Bugaloos. Her later work included a Broadway run in No No Nanette, extensive summer stock and dinner theater tours in the stage farce Everybody Loves Opal, supporting stints on TV's McMillan and Wife and Alice, and a cameo appearance in the feature film Airport 79. Among her six husbands were makeup artist Bud Westmore, orchestra leader David Rose, and dancer Nick Condos (her daughter by this marriage, Melodye Condos, briefly pursued a singing career of her own). In declining health for many years (she lost one of her legs to cancer), Martha Raye died at the age of 78, survived by her much younger seventh husband Mark Harris. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

I like Black Licorice but in Paris on Blvd St. German at a candy stand on the corner in front of the Odeon Theaters you can purchase when the have it (whenever I am not in town) the best Black Licorice candy I have ever tasted anywhere. It is creamy, smooth and black as coal but it is not at all like the black licorice strings or gummy bears. It is like some time of really creamy smooth black licorice candy. It can't be that difficult to make I just wished I could get the recipe. Then I would truly be in Love with Black licorice. Man I was spending 15Euros per day on this habit and then they ran out. I went through withdrawls I was so addicted.

It's one of my favorite spring candies. I went gluten free, due to allergies, last year. Last week, I had licorice for the first time in a long time. I didn't know that it has wheat in it until my tummy went nuts after I ate it. *wince* Oops.

iloveana - when my nephew was in Europe last week he was offered candy by the ton. When he was in Zurich it was chocolate and licorice. In Austria, licorice and more licorice. He was the one who 6 years ago fed my Mentos collection by bring several rolls of licorice Mentos back to the US for me. They're in my closet making it smell kind of yummy. Anise tastes similar to licorice (at least what Americans think of as licorice) but its not where real black licorice gets its flavor. European Licorice is flavored by the licorice plant root (Glycyrrhiza glabra) - American black licorice is weirdly flavored with Anise and occasionally licorice root. It's weird because we Americans really altered the original black licorice and made it our own. We come up with something that's pretty darn close to the original but not quite.

I hate licorice candy in all forms (black, red, jellybeans, etc.). They're all GROSS. I do however like a few things that are flavored with Anise. The company I work for sells Tortas (Spanish Crisp Bread) that are flavored with Anise Seed and Essence of Anise, Sugared and Topped with Almonds and oh my lord they are TO DIE FOR.

haha wackdoodle, licorice Mentos is totally my favorite flavour but then again, I do love licorice! The thing is, most actual licorice today doesn't really taste like anise but rather like a salty kind of candy...if that makes sense!
iloveana 6 years
yeah its true, there is no such thing as "red licorice", the only real licorice is black and tastes kind of like anise. Its actually very popular is Europe but I guess its a flavour you have to grow up tasting a lot for it to be delicious
ElizabethRae 6 years
Yuck. I don't like it. And whoever asked about what seed had that flavor, I think it's anise. I have cooked with anise before and it wasn't as potent as the licorice so it was okay, but still kind of gross.

wackdoodle 6 years
The only licorice that is really licorice is the Black stuff. Licorice plants grow wild all over Ventura County where I grew up and although I love the smell the taste makes my gag. I HATE real licorice. One of my grandmothers LOVED black licorice and would hand it out to each of us grandchildren. Everyone else would accept the licorice from Grandma and then chuck it out but after I tool the first taste and split it out I never took another piece from her. I figured that if I just said "No thank you Grandma." she would have more licorice to enjoy wile she was watching All My Children. It's funny because I collect Mentos from around the world and the most popular flavor of Mento is licorice. Every other country loves the black licorice but here in the US the love is limited to certain areas of the country. Heck half of the US thinks that Red Vines and Twizzlers are real licorice when they aren't really licorice. Only the candy with that gag-inducing licorice root is really licorice.

A post on Dumblaws.com says it is illegal to serve beer and pretzels simultaneously in North Dakota. But, division director Jay E. Buringrud of the North Dakota Legislative Council says locals bars don't have to be worried about getting busted.He says many of what could be called "unusual laws" come from misconstruing or "twisting" the language of state or local statutes. "It's a false interpretation, but the interpretation plays well as a crazy law,'" says Buringrud. The myth may be fueled by drinking laws that prohibit those under the age of 21 from entering a bar."For example, North Dakota state law prohibits a person under 21 from being in a place where alcoholic beverages are being sold in licensed premises (North Dakota Century Code Section 5-01-08). An exception is a restaurant if the restaurant is separated from the room in which alcoholic beverages are opened or mixed and gross sales of food are at least equal to gross sales of alcoholic beverages consumed in the dining area (North Dakota Century Code Section 5-02-06)."Buringrud says some people might try to combine the two laws and say a person cannot eat pretzels at a bar, because the two areas are not separated.In other words, the post is nothing more than a rumor. And it seems like beer and pretzels is combination that is here to stay.

by Amelia Davies, Foreward by Jeannette McAfee, M.D.
Destined to become a classic, this innovative book provides a
program for parents and professionals to teach social skills to children
diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome and High Functioning Autism through acting.
The author has worked closely with Jeannette McAfee, author of the
internationally acclaimed social skills guide, Navigating the Social
With an irreverent sense of humor and belief in the potential of
these children, Ms. Davies has found that people with Asperger's Syndrome and
High Functioning Autism who successfully function in the neurotypical world, do
so by learning to "pretend" or "act" in ways that are expected of them,
literally memorizing how to handle hundreds of social interactions as they would
memorize favorite statistics or trading cards of baseball players. These
children may not feel all emotions or understand the feelings of others
intuitively, but they can be taught to understand them logically, like an
anthropologist studying another culture, and through memorization. Over time,
if practiced regularly, memorization of social skills can become internalized,
generalized and provide children with a more intuitive understanding of social
give and take and what makes neurotypical people tick.
by Maria Wheeler

once, wash hands, and more. The toilet trainer will learn how to
overcome challenges caused by communication needs, sensory
sensitivities, motor challenges, anxiety levels, etc.
by Emily L. Burrows and Sheila Wagner

Gear Shopping 101: How to Spot a Deal to Avoid: Olympus E-M5 for $895 by Unknown Seller
This is an example of what to look for in an unknown and unauthorized third-party seller and not fall into the trap simply because the price is lower or clueless websites or forums are mentioning it. A third-party seller named "wesaveyou$" is offering the Olympus E-M5 body for $895 as the lowest featured price at Amazon.
Here are some of the red flags:
+ not an authorized Olympus dealer
+ no concrete information about the company is provided in their Detailed Seller page. Compare the details on their Seller page to those of well-known and well-vetted camera retailers like Adorama and Norman Camera and Samy's Camera and Murphy's Camera and Beach Camera. Compare and contrast. Notice any differences?
+ their store front has no customization, it's just a bunch of products listed. Compare and contrast to the storefronts of Adorama and Cameta and Willoughby's and Murphy's Camera. Compare and contrast, notice any differences?
+ they have at least one 1/5 negative review per day but they are buried by an avalanche of 5/5. Because of the way Feedback is posted on Amazon, you cannot review the reviewer or the purchase, so you cannot give proper weight to the feedback given. For example, one can pile up a lot of positive ratings on $5 items and be a disaster on big ticket items
+ you are buying a $900 camera. The level of scrutiny should be much higher compared to buying a $10 book or DVD from a random seller
+ remember, Amazon is an open marketplace. Almost anyone with a pulse can list products there, be it $10 books or $1000 cameras. Just because something is listed at Amazon, it does not mean it is safe to buy. Make sure you buy from Amazon.com itself as the seller or well-known and well-vetted retailers that sell on Amazon like J&R World, Calumet, Vanns, OneCall, Adorama, Norman Camera, Beach Camera, Samy's Camera, etc.
+ on a side note, products "Fulfilled by Amazon" have some benefits when dealing with unknown/unvetted retailers, but if the selling retailer is not authorized, the manufacturer will likely not recognize the purchase as authorized because Amazon is only providing the infrastructure, they are not the actual seller. Fulfilled by Amazon, in a nutshell, means a seller sends a big box of things to an Amazon warehouse/facility and Amazon processes the orders/shipments/returns/etc instead of the actual seller
+ you are the one who is going to have to deal with the consequences when making a risky purchase. Unless you are a super savvy shopper _and_ you enjoy the frustrations of dealing with the consequences of such purchases (some people do love a good crisis or a good drama) and you have the time to spend on all that, you are better off avoiding high risk purchases. Of course it is your life and your money, you can do whatever you want. I am just pointing out the distilled essence of what millions of online shoppers have already discovered through trial and error.

A bedroom will be a place exactly where a person is situated and relaxes, and the appropriate ambiance aids in doing which. The paint colors you choose for the bedroom is going a long way in making a bedroom look restful. Most people try to acquire the easy way out and paint the bedroom in white.

Ideas are going to let you know about some calming and relaxing colors ideas for your bedroom.
Relaxing and Calming Colors for a Bedroom
Once you are looking to give your bedroom a relaxing atmosphere, look for colors of which are soft and calming. Fairly neutral colors and soft pastel colors work very well for a bedroom. Awesome colors make the bedroom look airy and large. Given under are some tranquilizing color combination for bedrooms you can take motivation from.
Frozen Blue and Lavender
When you are looking to be able to create a cool mood in the bedroom, then decide on cool colors including icy blue and lavender. Those two colors look good jointly and are ideal for a bedroom. You are able to paint the bedroom walls in icy blue and make use of lavender paint colors for moldings and trimmings. The problem with using a awesome color palette for painting bedroom walls is the fact that it can seem to be too stark. To brighten it up, use dark brown and chocolate accents in bedroom furniture and covers.
Celery Green and Away white
Green is a great color selection for bedroom, especially peas green which is very easy about the eye. This calming color when utilized along with off of white, can give the room a satisfying atmosphere. For best results, pair peas green wall paint with off white ceiling and all white bed linen. To supply the room a focal point, try using a patterned bed headboard in primary colors. Wickerwork furniture in white or bronze will look great in this sort of a bedroom.
Pale Yellow and Beige
Never undervalue the power associated with a neutral shade. Beige has been much maligned as a dull color but when paired with the right color it could possibly look great. Pair beige paint color using a warm color like pale yellow. Pale yellow gives the walls visual result and beige softens the look of the bedroom. Any time decorating with a neutral hue similar to beige, remember to utilize darker hued furniture and upholstery for a well balanced and symmetrical look.
Gray and Rose Pink
Have you constantly associated pink with giggly girls and prom night and have therefore definitely not used in painting a room? Properly it is time to help get rid of that misconception. Rose pink is truly one of the most soothing colors for a bedroom and it is going very well using slate gray. Paint one of the bedroom walls in rose pink and the rest of the walls in gray. Decorate along with white moldings and all white furniture for a beautiful bedroom.
Dust Blue and Chalky White
Nothing means sophistication and classiness than those two colors for a bedroom. A pale powder blue shade is right for producing a restful and calming ambiance in the bedroom. That shade looks best when combined with chalky white ceiling and trimmings. This kind of two colors likewise make soothing colors for bedroom furniture especially for a girls room. To give the bedroom a balanced look, use dark hued fixtures and flooring.
Peach and Tan
A great color for a bedroom is actually a combination of peach and suntan. Peach is a warm color that looks great in a large bedroom. Combine peach paint colors in the walls associated with the bedroom with suntan colored furniture and window treatment.

For those who work in the cold winter weather, it is a struggle to stay warm.
The city of Wichita continued to dig out Tuesday, after the first big snowfall of the season.
For many, the work day was spent indoors, out of the blistering cold.
For letter carriers like Mark Miller, staying inside was not an option.
"We do a lot of layers. I've been on and off. I had a sweater over my long johns, and thick t-shirt and lined jacket, and I took the sweater off at one point, and got kind of warm. You have to come prepared in a lot of different ways," said Miller.
Miller says he's always prepared for whatever weather Mother Nature throws at you next.
"The summertime, you can get worn out kind of fast, the winter, I have more energy, personally. I can kind of keep going, although I'm feeling it," said Miller.
Sedgwick County EMS officials remind everyone to stay safe, especially when the temperatures drop below freezing. They urge people to follow the following cold weather guidelines.
1) Always Bundle Up. - If your body is exposed for too long, it loses heat faster than it can produce it, which could lead to hypothermia.
2) Wear A Hat. - 80% of your body heat is lost through your head.
3) Beware Of Frostbite. - If you're not wearing enough layers, and your skin is exposed, you could do permanent damage to body tissues.
If you are like Miller, and must be outside for work, take breaks to warm up, and always stay hydrated.
"I have a lot of sympathy for linemen, plumbers, and different guys that have to get out in this, and they can't move around. I think they have it tougher than we do," said Miller.

The Fenafuth (Honduras National Federation of Football) announced the 25 Honduras National Team Players that will be coached by Honduras Head Coach Luis Fernando Suárez for the FIFA World Cup Qualifying Eliminations on September 6, 2013 against México at the Azteca Stadium in Mexico City and on the September 10, 2013 vs Panama at the Estadio Nacional in Tegucigalpa Honduras.
ROSTER HONDURAS vs MEXICO:
GOALIES / PORTEROS: Noel Valladares (Olimpia), Donis Escober (Olimpia) y Kevin Hernández.
DEFENSE / DEFENSAS: Maynor Figueroa (Hull City, Inglaterra), Osman Chávez (Wilsa Cracovia, Polonia), Emilio Izaguirre (Celtic Glasgow, Escocia), Víctor Bernárdez (San Jose Earthquakes, Estados Unidos), Juan Carlos García (Wigan Athletic, Inglaterra), Nery Medina (Olimpia), Juan Pablo Montes (Motagua) y Brayan Beckeles (Olimpia) y Arnold Peralta (Rangers, Escocia).

FORWARDS /DELANTEROS: Georgie Welcome (Motagua), Rony Martínez (Real Sociedad), Jerry Bengtson (New England Revolution, Estados Unidos) y Carlo Costly (Guizhou Zhicheng, China) y Jerry Palacios (Liga Deportiva Alajuelense, Costa Rica).
Mexico head coach Jose Manuel de la Torre did not include Carlos Vela or Guillermo Ochoa in his team's squad to face Honduras and the United States.
Both have been in good club form in recent weeks, but neither was expected to make the 23-man roster. Real Sociedad striker Vela has been on the outside looking in since March 2011 following repeated rejections of call-ups, while Ajaccio keeper Ochoa reportedly demanded to be guaranteed the starting job over Jose de Jesus Corona.
There is a strong domestic bias to the roster, with just seven of the 23 playing for clubs outside Liga MX. This includes 20-year-old defender Diego Reyes, who was named despite his inability to crack the starting lineup at FC Porto.
Javier Hernandez of Manchester United is the only foreign-based player outside the Iberian Peninsula.
With three players apiece, Cruz Azul, Tigres and Monterrey are the most represented clubs in the squad.
Mexico will play Hondurasa the Azteca Stadium in Mexico City on Sept. 6, 2013 before playing vs the USA on Sept. 10.

Goalkeepers: Jesus Corona (Cruz Azul), Alfredo Talavera (Toluca), Jonathan Orozco (Monterrey)

Honduras National Soccer Team faces off against Mexico tomorrow Friday the 22nd of March 2013 in San Pedro Sula, Honduras at 3:00 PM Honduras Time (5:00 PM New York Time). (Yeah, I know all you Catrachos in New York are Honduras.com's largest audience; thanks:-)
So yes, this Honduras vs Mexico is a qualifying match for Honduras to get to the world cup in Brazil in 2014.
We all thought that our match vs the USA on February 6th was the key game of the CONCACAF Hexagonal but guess what; it seems that since we defeated the USA (We WON that game playing soccer!) and Mexico did not win its first match of the Hexagonal everyone around the world including ESPN is going crazy because Honduras is in FIRST PLACE in the Hexagonal. Unfortunately they are saying we don't deserve it and are not world class and if all goes well Honduras will defeat Mexico tomorrow afternoon and everyone will say it was because of the weather in San Pedro Sula (it gets hot there and Mexico is not used to that).
But hey, we Catrachos will take the win anyway we can get it although our Honduras National Team is ready to play World Class Soccer.
So along with 300 plus journalist from Mexico alone attending the game, Let's go Seleccion give them all something to talk about!
We will keep this article updated with the final Honduras vs Mexico roster as well as throughout the game live.
Okay everyone, CONCENTRATE!!! Don't let the media get to you; what do they know anyway they all just sit there and make up things to talk about.

Term or permanent life insurance?
Once you figure out your needs, it's time to choose the type of policy that makes most sense for you.
Term insurance
Term insurance is relatively easy. You can buy term insurance that stops after 10 or 20 years, or that can be continued beyond age 70. You can choose for your premium to increase each year (annual renewal term) or to remain at the same amount for a fixed number of years.
Most term policies offer both a current payment schedule and a maximum rate for each year. With some policies, the company reserves the right to increase premiums if company costs increase. With others, your health may be a factor in determining rates. At certain "re-entry" ages, you may have to prove your good health in order to keep the lower premium.
Most term policies are convertible to permanent ones without evidence of good health.
Types of permanent life
The real wild card in terms of price is permanent insurance, because most policies have guaranteed and nonguaranteed portions. There are three main types of permanent insurance.
Traditional whole life: This type offers the most guarantees. The annual premium is guaranteed, and there are minimum guaranteed cash values and death benefits. Most whole life policies these days are "participating," meaning that the dividends they earn can be used to increase the cash value and/or death benefits, decrease the premiums or be refunded in cash.
If you are a conservative investor and also have trouble saving, traditional whole life makes sense.
Universal life: If you need premium flexibility, especially in the early years of the policy, universal life is for you. Universal life insurance was developed in the 1970s, when insurance-industry regulations changed to allow insurers to be more competitive with other financial-services providers.
Universal life insurance is more flexible than traditional whole life, because premiums can vary from year to year and sometimes can even be skipped. Universal life has maximum guaranteed premiums and minimum guaranteed cash values and death benefits. Instead of dividends, universal life policies earn interest at the credited interest rate determined each year.
Variable life: If you consider yourself a knowledgeable and risk-accepting investor, check out variable life. Variable life insurance has the fewest guarantees and therefore offers the greatest potential for cash-value increases.
There are required guaranteed annual premiums and a guaranteed minimum death benefit. However, there is no guaranteed cash value, and you have to select the investments for your policy.
Buyers typically are offered a variety of mutual fund accounts, ranging from money market funds to aggressive growth funds.
Not an investment tool
Life insurance should never be purchased solely as an investment. After all, some of your premiums are being used to buy death-benefit coverage and to cover other expenses (including sales commissions). Life insurance should not be purchased on children as a way to save for college, and make sure you (and your spouse) have all the coverage you need on yourselves before you buy any coverage on a child.
When you make your purchase, avoid all of the fancy riders, but do consider the waiver of premium, which suspends your premium payments but keeps the policy in place if you become disabled.
If you find that you cannot afford all of the permanent insurance you have decided you need, consider a combination term-plus-permanent policy. You can quickly compare quotes online.
I've been lucky enough to be in the insurance insurance industry now for 30+ years...
There is a simple answer to this question... Just get what you can afford to get! Forget this silly cash value or term business.. Get the protection 1st. Then sit with an agent for some long term planning... then decide which is the best way to go.. Don't worry, the insurance company you chose to do business with will convert your plan when you want to! They do not want to lose your business!
From a strictly dollar and cents point of view, term is the best value IF ... IF... you will do something constructive with the balance of what the Universal or Whole Life premium would have been...
The only one you will lie to is yourself!
I have clients who will probably retire on $60,000 annual tax free income with life insurance! Will YOU???
Ask any great agent for ALL the details!
Advantages of Term Life Insurance
- Generally lower cost than permanent insurance.
- Offers higher coverage at a more affordable price.
- Gives you the most coverage for the lowest cost - up to 30 years.
- Ideal for younger families when the need for protection is greatest.
Choose Term Life Insurance for covering specific needs that will disappear with time, such as:
- Income replacement
- Financial security for dependents
- College funding
- Final/burial expenses

Life insurance should never be purchased solely as an investment.
Not vs soley? seems a contradiction… then consider the stock market… which your retirement account is connected with… you may or may not have any money when you retire depending on the stock market at the time.
The longer you own your permanent policy the more cost effective it becomes. Canada Life's dividends on their permanent whole life policy has paid out 5.9% to over 12% since the 1950's. Term is practical for short term liabilities but for anyone wanting to own their life policy for life it's a great idea to convert or get something now so you can lock in the rates.
There's enough blogs on here to attest that cash value/whole life/unifersal life/and whatever name the industry wants to change it to say it's crap. Excuse my language but when hard working people are constantly being ripped off and ill-informed by whole life companies it makes me upset. If anyone is actually concerned about their life, please get term insurance for your family AND get yourself in a position to save for retirement. It's plain and simple; check out Suzie Orman!
*remember it's the decisions you make today that determine your family's future tomorrow!

I usually don't bother to write any review on the hotels I stayed before. But this one is so special. I was visiting Cornell University but could not find anything closer, and so have to try this B&B with hesitation. End up this is the most pleasant suite I had ever stayed. The bed is very comfortable, everything in the suite is very clean. The room is located on a giant green field and beautiful view every direction. I can see the great care the owners put into this room instead of just for commercial purpose. Both my wife and I had great memories staying at this B&B. We took quite some pictures on the B&B inside out. Both my wife and I wish we had stayed at this B&B longer.

Dirk Benedict (born March 1, 1945) is an American movie, television and stage actor who played the characters Lieutenant Templeton "Faceman" Peck in The A-Team television series and Lieutenant Starbuck in the original Battlestar Galactica film and television series.
Benedict was born Dirk Niewoehner in Helena, Montana,[1] the son of Pricilla Mella (née Metzger), an accountant, and George Edward Niewoehner, a lawyer.[2] He grew up in White Sulphur Springs, Montana. He graduated from Whitman College in 1967.[3] Benedict allegedly chose his stage name from a serving of Eggs Benedict he had enjoyed prior to his acting career.
Benedict's film debut was in the 1972 film Georgia, Georgia. When the New York run for Butterflies Are Free ended, he received an offer to repeat his performance in Hawaii, opposite Barbara Rush. While there, he appeared as a guest lead on Hawaii Five-O. The producers of a horror film called Ssssss saw Benedict's performance in Hawaii Five-O and promptly cast him as the lead in that movie. He next played the psychotic wife-beating husband of Twiggy in her American film debut, W. Benedict starred in the television series Chopper One which aired for one season in 1974. He also made an appearance in Charlie's Angels.
Benedict's career break came in 1978 when he appeared as Lieutenant Starbuck in the movie and television series Battlestar Galactica. In 1979 Benedict starred in the ensemble movie Scavenger Hunt. In 1982, Dirk gained further popularity as con-man Lieutenant Templeton "Face" Peck in 1980s action television series, The A-Team. He played "Faceman" from 1982 to 1986 (although the series didn't air until January 1983, and the final episode wasn't shown until 1987 re-runs). The second season episode, "Steel," includes a scene at Universal Studios where Face is seen looking bemused as a Cylon walks by him - an in-joke to his previous role in Battlestar Galactica. The clip is incorporated into the series' opening credit sequence from the third season onward.
In 1986 Dirk Benedict starred as a low-life band manager "Harry Smilac" in the movie Body Slam along with Lou Albano, Roddy Piper, and cameo appearances by Freddie Blassie, Ric flair, and Bruno Sammartino. His character Smilac ends up managing the pro-wrestler "Quick Rick Roberts" (Piper) and faces opposition by Captain Lou and his wrestling tag-team "the Cannibals".
In 1987, Benedict took the title role of Shakespeare's Hamlet at the Abbey Theatre. Both his performance and the entire production were drubbed by critics.[4]
1989 saw Benedict in the TV movie Trenchcoat in Paradise.
In 1991, Benedict starred in Blue Tornado, playing Alex, call sign Fireball, an Italian air force fighter pilot.
In 1993, Benedict starred in Shadow Force.
In 2000, Benedict wrote and directed his first screenplay, Cahoots.[5]
In 2005, he played an impostor, pretending to be an 80s movie star who wants to moderate a charity performance in Goldene Zeiten (Golden Times) by Peter Thorwardt.
Dirk appeared as a contestant on the 2007 U.K. series of Celebrity Big Brother. He arrived on launch night in a replica of the A-Team van, smoking a cigar and accompanied by Post & Carpenter's A-Team theme tune.
In 2010, Dirk starred in Prescription: Murder playing Lieutenant Columbo along with Patrick Ryecart and George Telfer. Benedict also made a cameo appearance in the 2010 film adaptation of The A-Team as Pensacola Prisoner Milt.[6]
In 1986, he married Toni Hudson, an actress (who had previously appeared in the fourth season A-Team episode "Blood, Sweat and Cheers" as Dana), with whom he has two sons, George and Roland. They divorced in 1995. In 1998, Benedict learned that he also has another son, John Talbert (born 1968), from an earlier relationship. Mr. Talbert had been given up for adoption. With the help of his adoptive parents, Talbert discovered and contacted his birth parents.[7]

The Power of Circadian Rhythms
WebMD Feature
May 8, 2000 -- Circadian rhythms -- our 24-hour biological cycles -- govern more than our waking and sleeping. They affect when we are born, when we die, and how we pass the days in between.
Our body's rhythms are governed by a "master clock" located in a tiny region of the brain called the suprachiasmatic nucleus. It works much like a conductor, striking up one section of the body's orchestra as another quiets down, taking its main cue from light signals in order to stay in sync with the 24-hour day.
Our body's hormones surge and ebb to this maestro's invisible wand. Even our cells grow faster during certain hours of the day.
Here are just a few of the ways our circadian rhythms orchestrate our lives:
Findings such as these have led to the budding field of chronotherapy, in which doctors time medicines to the body's natural rhythms. For instance, allergy sufferers can ease their morning symptoms by taking a long-acting antihistamine late at night. Asthmatics can reduce their risk of a morning attack by taking the drug theophylline at night.
There's even reason to believe that the circadian clock affects our cells' tolerance for toxins. By manipulating its timing and dosage, doctors hope to lessen the side effects of cancer chemotherapy.
"We have found over 35 medical conditions that are affected by the body's internal clock," says Michael Smolensky, PhD, professor of environmental physiology at the University of Texas-Houston School of Public Health and co-author of The Body Clock Guide to Better Health. "That concept is revolutionary, and there's more coming."

Hi there,
I have an SSIS package and I have this SQL query in a variable.
@[User::start_date] and @[User::end_date] are two variables in the package and I can get them successfully but when it runs this query I get this error: "conversion failed when converting datetime from character string"

You need to use SUBSTRING function to convert it to desired format before assigning and ISDATE() function before converting to datetime. Moreover, It will purely be dependent upon the input. If I assume the input is in YYYYMMDD format then it could be
If you can tell us what kind of input you are expecting then we may lead to better approach.

When I tried your suggestion I get this error: "Arithmetic overflow error converting expression to data type datetime."
I think the issue is here, because when I execute it on management studio I get the error: Conversion failed when converting datetime from character string. and it points to this line set @ds='"+(DT_WSTR,30)@[User::start_date]+"' set @de='"+(DT_WSTR,30)@[User::end_date]+"'Hope you can help Thanks,
Dec 27, 2011 at 03:56 AM SQL USER
you should add ISDATE() function to validate before assigning. There is no point in assiging it before and then change it according to your LANGUAGE settings :). I have changed it a bit. But If you could let us know the details, may be we could come up with a better approach
