Bound By Blood
Hey everyone, this weekend I had a mini shoot for Bound By Blood! I met the owner last year, Jason Kobishop, and he is such a kind heart; its always refreshing to see a cool company and know the person behind it is awesome too.
The company sells an array of items ranging from graphic t-shirts to embroidered hats; they even have kids clothes! The company has a cool underlying theme as well. "In the face of our deep divisions, our flags, our borders and our politics serve to turn us against each other. These are the times we must heed a call to action. A call to our great orators to give a voice to the voiceless. A call to our great authors to write the next chapter of our story. A call to our great artists to paint a beautiful future. On this, our planet, and in this, our time, let us set aside our differences. United, we share our most common element. We are human. WE ARE BOUND BY BLOOD."

A non-response from someone may be a bitter pill at times, but we have to remember that some men are not at all used to having women approach them. Even if he likes the idea, he may not have formulated a way to respond.
Think of it this way: email and online situations are easy to get into and out of. Think of that on and off switch on your tv, and how easy it is to use. We simply do not have one's full bodily attention via email and online, so we cannot invest our full heart into it. On the flip-side, we may meet people that we would not have otherwise ever met!
What is so much more difficult, is a non-response in person!
e.g., when your neighbor doesn't return a short greeting.
Jacqueline, you are very perceptive and have an intelligent and compassionate grasp on this matter.
It has taken me awhile to come to grips with responding to someone whom I believe I have no interest. I still have problems with empty emotes, short of responding with another empty emote. I'm still working on this, but I do agree, at least in principle, that all communications deserve some kind of reply.

TV on the Radio had the best album of 2008. It had some stiff competition from Fleet Foxes' incredible Debut self titled album as well Vampire Weekends also self-titled debut. TVOTR, however, mixed princely falsettos and handclaps rooted in African-American churches with dissonant washes of feedback provided though guitarist and producer extraordinaire David Sitek (Maximum Balloon). The timing was perfect, released September 22nd, two weeks before the Presidential election, just enough time to absorb the ideas, the concepts and bring them with you to the ballot. They were calling for change, not directly political by any means, but TVOTR was, in their lead single calling for a "Golden Age"
Ah here it comes, bring it faster!

Ah here it comes, bring it faster!
The age of miracles.The age of sound.Well there's a Golden Age.Comin' round, comin' round, comin' round!
What this "Dancing Choose" does differently is first off, the lyricism is masterful. The words flow like old-school Eminem rap song, backed by some of the best produced music of the past decade. The chaotic, heartpounding nature of each verse is juxtapose with the highly melodic chorus that really doesn't change that much. That guitar riff played by Sitek is highly memorable, and every time the song starts, you simply can't wait for that riff to come in. Lyrically tunde Adebimpe invades your ears, only to make sweet, sweat love to your brain.

Child Protection in Schools: A Four-Part Solution
Sponsor: Second Step
Posted: September 1, 2014
As places where children spend a large portion of their time, schools have a legal and ethical responsibility to keep their students safe. And because of the nature of relationships between staff and students, often an educator is the one to spot signs of maltreatment in a child. The situation is compounded by mounting research about adverse childhood events' lifelong effect on people's lives, so creating a safe and protective school community is of paramount importance to educators. This white paper from Committee for Children, creators of the Second Step and Talking About Touching programs, outlines the four elements a school needs to have in place to help protect their students.

Applying Games and Manipulatives in Math Intervention Curriculum
Sponsor: McGraw Hill Education
Posted: August 1, 2014
The extensive use of games and manipulatives in SRA Number Worlds to enhance math engagement and to teach number sense—as well as a variety of more specific math concepts and skills—is justified by research in the learning sciences as well as by common sense, always a useful touchstone when making any theoretically motivated curricular decisions. Although the original program has been expanded over the years to include lessons to teach Common Core State Standards that were not addressed in the original program, the primary and central focus of the program has remained true to its proven foundation since its inception in 1988. In this paper the author of SRA Number Worlds describes the very different roots of this curriculum and the ways that research in the cognitive sciences has shaped not only the learning goals of the program but also the manner in which these goals are taught.

Wide receivers: Miles Austin is listed first only because his last name comes first in the alphabet. In reality, he's not even on the same planet as Dez Bryant, but for now we'll roll with it. And before you brand me an Austin-hater, I certainly am not. He's been a good solid receiver for the Cowboys the past six years. 2009 was his most productive year, last year being one of his worst, due to hamstring injuries. He missed six games in 2011, but still had some decent numbers and was only two touchdowns away from tying Bryant's nine touchdowns. So, why am I so down on him? In 2010, his numbers dropped a bit due to the arrival of Bryant. He also agreed to a six year contract extension. His production has not been the same since. In training camp this week, he's tweaked his hammy again. Something seems amiss.
The Loon's advice: Austin is a solid #2 guy. He's no Bryant, not the same pomp and flash, but stable and dependable. Throwing out last year's stats, CBS predicts him to be 3.3% better than 2010. Pick him up in the 3rd/4th rounds of your draft. Maybe even 5th round. Watch the hammy situation as that could change the game entirely.
It's no big secret in my league that I love me some Dez Bryant. Since his days at my alma mater, I knew he was something special. Forget about his off-the-field troubles for a moment. When he steps on the turf, he's transported to another place. His personality shines and he, when in his element, cannot be stopped. In 2011, he nearly hit the 1,000 receiving yard mark and scored nine touchdowns. It has been my prediction from the end of the regular season that THIS WILL BE his year. A third year veteran should know the playbook and know what is expected of him. He's older, and pray to God, wiser, at least on the field. Cowboy fans are counting on him and he better not let us down.
The Loon's advice: If you believe Romo is a Super Bowl quarterback, then you pick up Bryant pronto. CBS predicts a 7.6% improvement over last season. I expect he'll be a top five receiver.
Tight ends: Last, but certainly not least, our beloved, Jason Witten. He is a leader, respected by all, and a much loved current Cowboy. His tenth year in the silver and blue brings much anticipation and angst surrounding, not only a playoff appearance, but also a Super Bowl. The fans are growing weary and restless, as is Witten.
The Loon's advice: fantasy-wise, Witten is the fifth best tight end in the league. He's still got game, but he's also at the ten-year mark, so he's been around the block a few times. CBS expects him to do 2.7% better than last year. That's not great; however, he's worth picking up early once tight ends start coming off the boards. I'd put him on my roster, so do the same if you want a winning team.

America's oldest native distillery is tucked away in the North Garden section of Albemarle County, and nobody really knows that Laird and Company is there.
Laird and Company has been in the apple brandy business since the 1700's. Now, all of the company's apples are carefully distilled at its North Garden facility.
For more than 40 years, Plant Manager Lester Clements has been in the business of turning apples into brandy, which is distributed all throughout the country. Before it can be distributed, there's a lot of work that has to be done.
Plant Manager Apprentice Daniel Swanson said, "We grind apples, make cider, then turn it into apple brandy." First, the apples are brought by the pound to Laird and Company's North Garden Plant. Then the apples are ground up and put through a special machine to squeeze out the juice. Then, the cider needs time to ferment.
Clements said, "It'll ferment up to probably 6-or-7 percent, in that neighborhood, and then we take it to the stills and get the alcohol in it." From start to finish, the process usually takes about two weeks to complete. Then, the brandy is aged in barrels until it's ready to be sold.
Swanson said, "It's hands on. We're helping with the apples, helping with the barrels, shipping and receiving."
The process results in a Virginia based product that's been enjoyed throughout the country since 1780.
Clements said this year the North Garden Plant will go through close to three million pounds of apples to make close to 350 barrels of apple brandy.

The 4.25-acre Woodland Discovery Playground at Shelby Farms Park Conservatory in Memphis, Tenn., is one of the first projects to earn certification for sustainable landscapes from the Sustainable Sites Initiative (SITES).
The playground earned a one-star rating for using recycled athletic shoes as a soft, spongy play surface; restoring a woodland area; and promoting children's health. A corporate parking area and university greenway also have been certified through the voluntary program, a joint effort of the American Society of Landscape Architects, the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center of the University of Texas at Austin, and the U.S. Botanic Garden to create a national rating system for landscapes with or without buildings. More than 150 pilot projects — of which 25% are open spaces/parks, 8% are transportation corridors/streetscapes, and 6% government complexes — began the certification process in June 2010 to test the guidelines and provide feedback on whether the 250-point rating system captures all aspects of creating a sustainable landscape. Industry experts in sustainable design and landscaping are welcome to provide input.
Points are earned based on how well projects meet certain criteria in a combination of 15 required and 51 optional credit areas. Pilot projects can earn up to a four-star rating depending on what percentage of points (40, 50, 60, or 80) they earn in these areas, which include water conservation, redeveloping brown- or grayfields, use of recycled materials and native vegetation, sustainable construction techniques, soil reconstruction, and land maintenance approaches.

This novel concept opens the doors to a plethora of prospective options for the project at hand, while being profitable too. Among the forerunners employing this idea in India is Sitashwa Srivastava and Manik Kinra, founders and of Jade Magnet. Since its inception in 2009, Jade Magnet, has catered to nearly a thousand customers, employing the services of around 6500 freelancers. Manik will be speaking about this ground-breaking idea, from which businesses are bound to benefit.

The photo display is stunning.
BTW the demo on the demo site at demo.minitek.gr/ site takes some time to load, but that is only the way their demo system is set up. The actual extension loads right away.
The developer helped me with some modifications I needed to make. And stuck with me as I went back and forth in the forum. A quality extension, and prompt and friendly and expert support. That is something I value!

I install this in all my joomla sites. It keeps me, as SuperAdministrator logged in and keeps me from being kicked out.
This lets me set a low session time in Joomla's control panel, which is what we want for site security.
Before I had this plug in I would set my sessions for much too long a time.
This fixes all of that.
Thanks for this gem!

With ReDJ you won't have to know anything about htaccess or other programming tricks to redirect a page.
First of all you're making your changes via a user friendly admin panel rather than editing the htaccess file in notepad – which if you make a mistake the results can take your site down.
ALSO for those who use Godaddy hosting where the htaccess file is not always updated immediately (Godaddy's updates to htaccess file can take up to an hour) the changes in ReDJ take place instantly. The changes made in ReDJ are not written to the htacces file.
Also you can publish and unpublish your redirects which can be handy.
A great extension that I know you will like.

Basically it does what it says. It can show the background image in various ways, for example stretching it if necessary, etc etc.
My client likes it and works nicely.
After I installed it I made a suggestion regarding random image capability. Within a day or so they added that feature to the module.
I recommend JUX Background Slideshow.

I have reviewed quite a few Joomla components over the years but AdminTools Professional is the most important extension and the absolute first extension you must install.
What's the use of installing a zillion great components and goodies – only to later find that all your hours and weeks and months of hard work has been destroyed because your site was hacked. By installing Admin Tools Professional first you can be ensured that your site is as safe as can be. Yes, you still need to be viligent and must educate yourself about Joomla security. An essential first start would be to read the documentation that comes with AdminTools, as well as Nickolas various articles and blogs. AdminTools is a solid foundation to ensure your site's security.
Although I had great experiences with developer Nicholas' excellent Joomla Akeeba Backup, I was nervous about installing a security component. I was worried it would be so complicated that I would only make things worse. But as it turned out installing Admin Tools was easy and activating its many security features, including the Web Application Firewall was a no-brainer. Taking advantage of its advanced features in the Pro version was easy too – especially the important .htaccess Maker, which further bulletproofs your site from spammers and hackers.
Equally important is the support Nickolas provides on the ticket forum. Nicholas provides expert and patient help – and listens to suggestions and has frequent updates which make AdminTools even better.
I am very happy I discovered AdminTools Professional. Do yourself a favor. Get it!!
byrowby, February 9, 2013
This worked in 5 seconds. Installed it. Enabled the plugin.
Choose a "Get" word and then the site is hidden to everyone except those who know the "Get" word. Can have multiple Get words for different people. Or can use a static ip as access to the development site. These are just a few of the features. You can have a custom HTML page -- but I chose the default page.
byrowby, October 20, 2011
Encouraged by the reviews I installed this one. Worked real nicely. You upload your images to the module's image directory and then, within the module choose which images you want and what order, as well as an overall transition.
Thanks for this well thought through module.

I installed SP Upgrade on my development server. Did the easy configuration to import the data and database from the old site. And pushed the button and within minutes my site was migrated to my development server.
What would have taken days took minutes!
Highly recommended by Rowby!!

I scrambled to the Joomla Extensions site, hoping to find a true find and replace that would make changes in the mysql database.
And I found this GEM! Works really nice with a preview of what you are replacing.
I easily replaced one YouTube video ID with the new one. In seconds!
Of course you should backup your database first because we all know what surprises can happen when we do a find and replace. I use good old Akeeba Backup to to the backup first and then I ran DB Replacer.
This gem is an example of the great open source extensions that us end users need to thank talented developers, such as NoNumber -- the author of this valuable Joomla component.

This one is perfect. Very easy to use. All kinds of useful configurations.
I was especially impressed with the extension's built-in, easy to follow documentation. No need to have to find the website to get the essential documentation.
In my case I got it working in about 4 minutes.
Looks great!
byrowby, April 30, 2010
It would have taken my hours to make the changes.
With this component I put the HTML that I wanted to change in the "top box" and the replacement HTML in the bottom box. I hit the button and in seconds my mysql database was updated.
I've looked for a component like this for years, for Joomla. It arrived here in the extensions library just when I needed it!
Highly recommended!

The module itself has built in documentation right within the module. There is a link right in the module to the website for further help.
And the module is elegantly designed for both a newbie who may not understand xml, and for the advanced user who is comfortable in xml.
byrowby, March 10, 2010
Also great is you can set your image as a background image if you want. That is really cool!
And, keep in mind, you don't have to use this only for headers. You can use it for any image where you would like the flexibility (such as easily making your image a background image) that Flexheader3 provides.
Bravo to Andre.
byrowby, March 3, 2010
I'm installing it in all of my sites. Not only is it great for client article screwups, it's also great for the webmaster. I am more willing to make test changes knowing that there is a list of backups of the articles -- just a click away.
Highly recommended!

Company DetailsUpdate
Vital Therapies, Inc. is a biotherapeutic company focused on developing a cell-based therapy targeting the treatment of acute liver failure. Our product candidate, the ELAD® System, or ELAD, is a bio-artificial liver therapy that operates outside the body, or extracorporeal, and is designed with the proposed intent to allow the patient's own liver to regenerate to a healthy state, or to stabilize the patient until liver transplant. ELAD is an allogeneic cellular therapy system incorporating our human liver-derived C3A cells contained in four hollow fiber cartridges that are combined with a single use customized disposable set and a reusable bedside unit. Data from ELAD clinical studies has shown trends that may indicate a potential to increase survival rates in patients with acute liver failure. ELAD has received orphan designation in the United States and Europe for the treatment of acute liver failure. Prior to the initiation of our ongoing Phase III clinical trial program, more than 150 subjects have received ELAD therapy in seven clinical trials and through a compassionate use program, which we believe collectively suggests a promising therapeutic profile. We are currently initiating three Phase III clinical trials in various acute liver failure conditions. In March 2013, we initiated VTI-208, a Phase III randomized, controlled clinical trial in 200 subjects with alcohol-induced liver decompensation. In the fourth quarter of 2013, we intend to initiate two additional Phase III randomized controlled trials, VTI-210, in 120 subjects with acute alcoholic hepatitis, and VTI-212, in 126 subjects with fulminant hepatic failure.

Carrots and Copper1 Reviews
Lots of dialogue. Warning: Jay flirting! Still pretty short.
Chapter 17 - Carrots and Copper
Jay walked through the parking lot towards the grocery store. Andrew and Odie had arranged for all the mentors to come to the brownstone that evening and he and Herry had been sent out for more food. He had left Herry in the truck to avoid filling the cart with more than they needed. He was nearly finished shopping when he saw the new student from his history class. She was loading boxes from the back of the store into a cart. Jay pushed his cart up beside hers,
"Hi," he greeted. She looked up at him and smiled, returning the greeting. It was the closest Jay had ever been to her, and he suddenly realized just how beautiful she really was. Then she looked into his eyes and he remembered the last time she had met his gaze. That intense, wild look sent his heart racing in an instant, and he was at a lack of anything to say.
"Are you okay?" She asked after a moment. Jay shook his head to clear it,
"Yeah, sorry." He looked away from her gaze and saw what she was loading into her cart, "that's a lot of carrots." She nodded,
"I'm getting bread too, the horses like it."
"You like horses?"
"What girl doesn't?" She replied with a shrug. Jay started to relax as she began to seem normal.
"I'm Jay," he offered his hand and she took it.
"Kiralia," she replied, her hand felt callused and her grip was strong.
"Need some help with those carrots?" He asked, picking up one of the boxes.
"Oh," a slight blush crept to Kiralia's cheeks, "you don't have to..."
"It's okay, I want to," he replied with a grin, awaiting her to lead the way out of the store. By the time they loaded the boxes onto the back of her truck, Jay found himself flirting shamelessly.
"Well, I'd better get this home," she smiled at him as she leaned against the silver truck. Jay put his arm up beside her and leaned in,
"I guess, but I'm afraid I can't let you leave."
"Really," Kiralia replied, "and why is that?" Jay grinned,
"You haven't given me your phone number yet." Kiralia laughed, her copper hair falling in front of her face,
"What if I just don't give you my number?"
"Then I'll have to take a risk and ask you out on the spot," Jay replied after a moment of thought. She laughed again and he ended up walking away with her number tucked into his back pocket and a consideration by Kiralia for a date on the upcoming Friday.
Herry jolted awake as Jay shut the door after climbing into the passenger seat.
"What took you so long?" He asked as Jay sat staring into the distance.
"Sorry Herry, I got caught up," Jay replied with a smile. Herry raised his eyebrows at Jay's happy and satisfied mood,
"Okay, lets go home then."

Pratt and Whitney Countersues Rolls-Royce
Pratt & Whitney today filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court in Connecticut against Rolls-Royce, claiming that UK-based engine maker misled the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office to obtain a patent related to swept fan blades. The complaint follows a lawsuit filed on August 26 by Rolls-Royce against Pratt & Whitney parent United Technologies alleging that designs of certain fan stages in the PurePower PW1000G, the Engine Alliance GP7200 and "a number of other UTC engines" infringe the Rolls-Royce patent.
"Pratt & Whitney's position is that Rolls-Royce has engaged in unfair behavior to mislead the United States Patent & Trademark Office to obtain a patent that it now alleges Pratt & Whitney infringes," said Pratt & Whitney chief intellectual property counsel George Romanik.
"We do not infringe Rolls-Royce's patent. Additionally, we believe the Rolls-Royce patent is invalid and unenforceable and that Rolls-Royce is unlawfully using its patent and taking other actions in an attempt to harm Pratt & Whitney."
As the litigation proceeds, Pratt & Whitney will continue to market its PurePower engine family, formerly known as the Geared Turbofan. "We are confident that the lawsuit filed by Rolls-Royce will have no impact to our customers on any program at Pratt & Whitney, including the GP7200 engine and the entire PurePower family of engines," said Pratt & Whitney next generation product family vice president Bob Saia. "The program has met all milestones on time and we expect it will continue to be on schedule, regardless of Rolls-Royce's actions. We are disappointed that Rolls-Royce chose to file a lawsuit rather than to compete in the marketplace."

All chain restaurants live and die by their appetizers. Like Pizzarea Uno, Chili's Boneless Buffalo Wings are actually chicken breasts tossed around in a wing sauce. Though delicious, the wings at #172 were a little less spicy than you would expect to find at a Chili's. After popping four or five, I had to check my waiter's ID badge to make sure I wasn't at a Ruby Tuesday's.
Don't miss the bottomless chips and salsa. They are saltier than the language of a sailor who's been at sea for months. That said, I found the salsa a little watery. I often had to use my left hand as a salsa safety net. When you're lucky enough to find a chip with a natural scoop shape, the combination is simply bliss. It's a great accompaniment to the El Presidenté Margarita.
The drinks were spectacular. The coke was well carbonated, and served in a Pizza-Hut-esque plastic glass which complimented the taste nicely. My server only let the soda get below ice level once.
A picture of a 1960's minor league baseball team, a sled, a tin soft drink advertisement, a traffic light, an old timey bike horn, a ukulele, roller skates, another sled, and trumpets all contribute to Chili's #172's "anything goes" vibe. This attitude extends to the wait staff who are friendly, efficient, and kneel down to take orders. My razzle-dazzle server impressed everyone in his section by not writing down orders, but still getting almost everything right.
Chili's' Tripple Dipper Dinner is their newest and most exciting dish. Essentially, you choose three appetizers to make up your entrée. I chose three more orders of Boneless Buffalo Wings. They were essentially the same as the first dish, though perhaps a little colder.
From the ample variety of crayons provided while I waited for my food, to their insistence on calling me a cab because I was visibly intoxicated, Chili's #172's attention to detail really sets it apart.
Final Grade 8.5 mozzarella sticks (out of 12).

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
The only problem is when people decide to ignore the advice for some reason. Some Wow players seem to think that advice is an insult to their honor or something, and as such ignore it off principle. Either that or they know everything and couldn't possibly be wrong.
For instance, I was running Forge with three guildies, and two randoms. During every single trash pull with aoe, one of the dps would die. I noticed that the pally healer didn't have beacon on the tank, and saw that it was on them instead. As this was the strategy before they allowed overheals, I thought I'd inform them that they changed it and beacon on the tank would be much easier and keep us alive. The response was "um, no." When the dps all died before the first soul fragment, we decided to duck out of that nonsense.
Besides that, note that an undergeared person in your instance might not be there on purpose, as the random finder doesn't seem to treat the new dungeons differently than most. They're not trying to be carried, they just want the extra badges from the random.

I've ridden the gloves in pretty much every condition; slush, powder, ice, etc. I wouldn't recommend taking them out on wet days by any means. They get waterlogged and heavy. The palms are awesome though. I've been riding them on nutcrackers (w/ a glove protector on one hand) and they haven't shown a single sign of wear or tear. Definitely a good purchase in the end.

The Blazers game @ Phoenix was a needed win for both teams. The Suns are battling for a top four spot in the playoffs. Now since the Blazers lost they still remain .5 games behind the Spurs. That could change when the Spurs go to Oklahoma City. If they loose that makes us tied. The Spurs have the hardest schedule coming up though.
The game tonight (@ Phoenix) will be a big game for the playoff race. The Spurs still remain only .5 games ahead of us, and the Suns are only .5 games ahead of them. The Spurs play @ Atlanta tonight, with Atlanta being favored by 4. The blazers might not be favored, but if they win, and the Spurs win
Let's see this again!! We need 52 from you Roy!! Win it for the fans!! We will need most players in double figures because
Rudy (strained quad) will not be flying to Phoenix with the Blazers. Without Fernandez the blazers three point shooting will be going down. In the three poin range we have to look out for Batum and Webster. We need Roy's amazing game against Phoenix again. Good luck Blazers!!!

Sunday evening, the Hershey Bears played host to the defending Calder Cup Champion Binghamton Senators. The Bears closed out the month of October with a 3-2 win over the B-Sens as Jacob Micflikier recorded first star honors, registering a power-play goal and an assist.
With the Bears facing the Senators, who hoisted the Calder Cup just four months ago, it was the first time since March 29, 2008 Hershey faced the defending Calder Cup Champs on home ice. Going back a few seasons, the Hershey Bears defeated the Hamilton Bulldogs at Giant Center who were at the time being, the defending Calder Cup Champions. Chris Bourque scored four goals in that game four years ago for Hershey. Sunday he was held of the score sheet point wise, but did fire four shots on goal.
The Bears were off and running from the start on Sunday, as the power-play unit hit the ice only 2:34 into the contest. On the man-advantage, Graham Mink would slap a cross-ice feed from Keith Aucoin into the net only 11 seconds into the advantage. Going into the matchup, the Bears' power-play was 7-for-20 at home during the campaign.
Mink's tally would be the lone strike in the first 20 minutes between either team. Within the stanza, the B-Sens' Francis Lessard dropped the gloves twice facing two different opponents. His first haymakers would be thrown at the 1:52 mark against Paul Baier, as his second fight was against Bears' heavyweight Joel Rechlicz. Joel Rechlicz was later given a game misconduct during the third period for continuing his actions against Lessard.
Into the second period the Bears would have full control from start to finish when not only on the power-play, but also 5-on-5. 5:51 into the frame, Boyd Kane drove to the next on an even strength rush and fired a shot from the high-slot. Kane crashing the net picked up his own rebound and fired it in short side on Mike McKenna.
Over 10 minutes later, on the power-play Jacob Micflikier would tally what proved later to be the game winning goal for Hershey. The Bears man-advantage which was 2-for-6 in the contest went back to work, when Graham Mink slapped a pass across an open slot area right to Micflikier for him to bury it into a wide open net. Similar set up to the Bears' opening goal of the night.
Despite being out shot in the period, 18-8 and out played by an even bigger margin, the Sens would tally with only 53 seconds left in the period to cut the Hershey lead to 3-1. After a great forecheck behind the Bears' net by David Dziurzynski, he freed up the puck and set a pass as quick as lightning threw the slot, beating Braden Holtby from side-to-side. Wacey Hamilton was on the doorstep to lay up the perfect into an open net for his first goal of the season.
In front of a near sellout crowd of 10,319 at Giant Center, the Bears held off the B-Sens despite a late goal for a 3-2 win. The Hershey Bears closed out the month of October with a 6-2-2-0 record. They open the month of November with a game on Friday, November 4 with a game against their I-81 rivals in Wilkes-Barre. Puck drops between the Pens and Bears at 7 p.m. at the Mohegan Sun Arena.

BJ Young to return to Hogs for sophomore season
Arkansas Democrat-Gazette/WILLIAM MOORE Arkansas' BJ Young misses a dunk against Florida Saturday, February 18, 2012 at Bud Walton Arena in Fayetteville.
FAYETTEVILLE BJ Young has withdrawn his name from the NBA Draft and will return to Arkansas for his sophomore season.
Young, the Razorbacks' leading scorer last season, had entered the draft on March 30 but never signed with an agent. Underclassmen had until Tuesday to withdraw from the process.
An all-SEC Freshman Team selection, Young averaged 15.3 points per game in 2011-12, leading all league newcomers. The guard was also named second-team all-SEC.
Young's return should add stability to a program that could add up to six new scholarship players next season.
Arkansas had only nine players on scholarship last season - four fewer than the NCAA limit of 13. Seniors Michael Sanchez and Marvell Waithe are departing upon graduation, while junior Julysses Nobles has left the program.

Gilead Sciences Inc. is being asked by U.S. House Democrats to explain how the company set its $84,000 price for hepatitis C treatment Sovaldi.
Governor Chris Christie faces a federal investigation over his use of $25 million of Hurricane Sandy relief money for a commercial he starred in promoting tourism at the New Jersey shore.
A New Jersey legislative committee plans to issue new subpoenas for documents or testimony over a multi-day traffic jam that paralyzed Fort Lee as an act of political revenge, a lawmaker said today.
Republican Governor Chris Christie's termination of a Hurricane Sandy contract led two Democratic U.S. congressmen from New Jersey to request a federal investigation.
Newark Mayor Cory Booker dabbed sweat beading his forehead, standing outside a home in New Jersey's biggest city this week as he called for action to ease foreclosures. Then the three other Democratic contenders in a shortened U.S. Senate primary each got a chance to speak.
A four-way battle for the "heart of the Democratic Party" in New Jersey enters its first full day today as U.S. Representative Frank Pallone and state Assembly Speaker Sheila Oliver jump into the race to replace U.S. Senator Frank Lautenberg, who died last week.
New Jersey Assembly Speaker Sheila Oliver became the fourth Democrat to announce plans to run in the special election to determine who will finish the term of the late U.S. Senator Frank Lautenberg.
Even as New Jersey Governor Chris Christie faces an audit of his federally funded tourism advertisements, an influx of campaign money makes commercials paid for by taxpayers or corporate sponsors increasingly attractive to cash-strapped politicians.
Newark Mayor Cory Booker heads into tomorrow's special-election primary with a commanding lead among Democrats for a U.S. Senate seat after rivals failed to overcome his celebrity and money advantage in the 10-week campaign.
Two months ago, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie was certain to win a second term without help from aisle-jumping Democrats or $25 million in federal storm aid for tourism commercials that starred him and his family.
"Their effort, obviously, is not to make this better, but to use the website and the glitches as an excuse to defund or repeal Obamacare."
- Frank Pallone on Oct 24, 2013

Sure, the Toronto Raptors lost Rudy Gay, a key piece when it comes to the Team Kicks On Court Award and their performance on court, but enter Terrence Ross. Performance-wise, Ross is one game removed from scoring a career-high 51 points, but his kicks on court resume has been nothing less than stellar. We've spotted him in the "Zebra" Nike Flyposite Exposed, "Steel" Air Jordan 10 and the Air Jordan 3 White/Cement just to name a few, but last night Ross debuted one of the most sought-after shoes of 2013 in Brooklyn. In fact, Ross became the first player to wear the Air Jordan 10 "Doernbecher" on court. The "Doernbecher" 10 released this past November and was designed by 12-year-old Daniel Pena who participated in the Doernbecher Freestyle Program.
View these kicks on court, plus P.J. Tucker's HyperRev PE, below.

Is being gluten-free important to you? Even though Teeccino has been tested to have no detectable levels of gluten at 5 parts per million when brewed using a paper filter, you may be worried that you might still experience a reaction to the barley in Teeccino. Understanding that gluten-sensitive people, just like caffeine-sensitive people, can be hyper sensitive to trace gluten, I decided it was time to create a barley-free coffee alternative that is absolutely gluten-free.
Teeccino Dandelion French Roast tastes just like Maya French Roast to satisfy the person who loves dark roasted, regular flavor. It brings the health benefits of roasted dandelion root including its inulin content, antioxidants, and stimulating effects on liver function to your cup. With more dandelion root per serving than any other brand puts in their tea bags, Teeccino Dandelion French Roast produces a cup where the deep, full body of coffee meets the health benefits of nature's healing herbs.
Ingredients: Roasted organic carob, organic chicory, organic dandelion root, organic ramon seeds, natural coffee flavor.
May contain trace amounts of almonds.

"I love the dandelion! It has a very rich flavor,more like coffee. I don't like flavors so this is the best for me. I like it better than the original. I do wish it was available in stores because shipping is too steep for me. I do appreciate the free shipping offers.
Thanks so much!"

Teeccino's Maya flavors feature roasted ramón seeds, a nutrient-rich food of the Maya civilization. Ramon seeds are actually the seed of the ramon fruit. Ramon seeds do not contain tree allergens like almonds, walnuts and pecans.
Dandelion root is popular in modern cleansing and detox diets due to its reputation for stimulating the liver and bile. It has a long history of use as a coffee alternative.

As per my view, we should research on Earth's Aura like the Aura of Human Body to find out its present happening and future conditions
When I learn "Raiki", an art to cure people, I come across the art of knowing the condition of any human body and possible future changes through the study of Human Body Aura. Similarly according to a spiritual theory, the blue print of entire universe is inside the human body, particularly in Female body. And as per the theory, if we want to know about the universe, we can learn it from human body.
Looking at these two theory, and studying it I came to conclusion that if we do the similar research of studying the Earth's Aura, we can learn the present condition as well as future changes in Earth in terms of earth quake, Tsunami, High Tide, Al Nino more perfectly.

WAUSAU, Wis (WSAU) A large , mostly pro-union crowd gathered at the Wausau City Council chambers on Friday and applauded as the Council voted to send a letter and resolution to Governor Scott Walker asking for changes in his budget repair bill. The vote was unanimous to tell the Governor to pull out the language that takes away collective bargaining rights from most public employee unions.
Council president Ed Gale said that "Governor Walker needs to listen to the local officials who are telling him to get out of our business" Other Council members said they hope the governor will be able to reach some sort of compromise with the unions.
Meanwhile a Neenah lawmaker, one of four Republicans in the assembly to vote against Governor Walkers plan, says the bill goes to far. He agrees that public employee unions should pay more for their insurance and pensions but that can be accomplished without taking away collective bargaining

Egypt's swine flu death toll reaches 38
Egypt's Health Ministry says the number of people killed by swine flu in the country since December has reached 38.
In a statement Sunday, the ministry said that more than 1,300 people have been hospitalized after being infected by the virus.
On Tuesday, the government reported 24 deaths from the virus.
In 2009, the global swine flu pandemic prompted Egyptian authorities to slaughter around 300,000 pigs previously used to dispose of the city's organic garbage. However, Jason McDonald, spokesman for the Atlanta-based Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, has said that the virus is now most often transmitted from human to human, and not through contact with pigs.

These are just 7 basic tips for nail polish shopping success! Please let me know your tips in the comments section below!
1. Know What You Want
Now, this only applies when you are actually SHOPPING and not just BROWSING. You'd be surprised how many times I've had people ask, "What is the best orange?" Is it a valid question? Yes. But here's the issue: There are a billion different orange-ish shades. Its all about what YOU consider orange. Do you want something sheer, metallic, golden, deep, fluorescent...
Here I'm showing you 4 completely different versions of a form of coral:
Left to right: 1.Revlon Nail Enamel in Craving Coral, 2. ELF ail Polish in Mango Madness, 3. Sinful Colors Profession Nail Lacquer in Hazard, 4. Revlon Scented Nail Polish in Mad About Mango.
Now, if you don't care about the specifics, then pick up any of these corals. But the differences are easy to pick up when you hold them next to each other in the store. Coral 1 is clearly much darker and contains more red. Coral 2 is mixed with some bright pink giving it less of an orange tone. Coral 3 has a slight shimmer to it and IMHO is my version of a creamy coral. Coral 4 is what I think of when someone asks me about a true coral color. Color specifics are up to the viewer.
If you want a SPECIFIC type of color, use this little help list:
- Sheen/Shimmer/Glitter/Chunky Glitter/Flakie/Glitter Shapes
- Creme
- Matte/Suede/Satin
- Bright/Florescent/Neon
- Dark/Light Undertones
- Metallic/Foil/Pearl/Frost
- Jelly/Sheer
- Holographic/Duochrome
Mix & match until you find EXACTLY what you want...its out there! If you don't know what some of these are (yes, every single one is different) then educate yourself by checking out this amazing blog post from Lacquerized HERE.
Shades of Silver Left to Right: LA Colors Color Craze in Silver, Sinful Colors Professional Nail Lacquer in Out of this World, Revlon Nail Enamel in Silver Screen. Polishes are placed from thickest metallic to the thinnest from left to right.
Shades of Silver Left to Right: LA Colors Color Craze in Silver, Sinful Colors Professional Nail Lacquer in Out of this World, Revlon Nail Enamel in Silver Screen. Polishes are placed from thickest metallic to the thinnest from left to right.
2. Separations/Color Discrepancy
So this may seem obvious, but I still think its super important. I'll keep this short and sweet: Stores that care for their nail polish will show in the coloring/structure of the polish.
See separation? Remember, separation happens when a nail polish has been sitting for two long causing the ingredients to sift.
See stripes? This is a sign that the nail polish hasn't been standing upright and instead laying on its side.
Is the color the same as the rest? If you pick up your shade and compare it to the others, is it the same? If not, it is very possible it has been opened and/or not resealed properly. Pick another one.
Left to right: Sally Hansen Maximun Growth in Inspired Orchid, Mini Divas Nail Polish in Star, Sally Hansen Maximum Growth Plus in Beautiful Berry.
3. Bottles Lie
You'd be surprised how many nail polishes go on completely different than it looks in the bottle. Take this example from Sinful Colors:
Sinful Colors Profession Nail Lacquer in Savage.
This is Sinful Colors in Savage, a color I truly love. I did my research on it, so I knew it would be a matte shade. However, looking at the bottle/packaging, you would never know that! If you had wanted this shade with shine (like the rest of the Sinful Colors line) you would be sadly disappointed. This also goes for sheer shades and bottles without a viewable color source like Sally Hansen Chromes. These have a type of covering on the bottle for that metallic finish which isn't always exactly right on with whats inside the bottle.
The internet lies as well, more on that in #7.
4. Do You Have it Already?This might sound silly but seriously, do you already have that color? Are you picking up duplicates or near-identical twins? Check out my example below from Color Club and Icing. I love them both and use them both, but I might as well have bought two of the same kind.
Left to right: Color Club Professional Nail Lacquer (no name) and Icing Nail Polish in Butta.
My main advice to make sure you don't end up with triplets when you only want one shade? Walk around the store and find polishes you already have and hold them up next to each other. Look up swatches online if you aren't sure, that will help you become more educated on how it wears too.
Other Twins/2nd Cousins:
|Left to right: Essence Color & Go in Walk of Fame and ULTA Salon Formula in Fine Pruned.
Left to right: Rimmel Lasting Finish Pro in Violet Metal and Wet n Wild Wild Shine in Eggplant Frost.
Left to right:Love & Beauty Nail Polish (no name) and ELF Nail Polish in Twinkle.
Now, on the flip side, you might just THINK you have it already. Remember, finishes/opacity/application can all make two very similar polishes completely different. Ok, maybe not completely, but if you don't hoard them like I do you won't necessarily want to judge a bottle by what you think it will look like.
5. Check for Stickers/Labels/Packaging
For some people this won't be a major issue, but it definitely is for me! I've walked out of a store numerous times thinking I had the color I wanted. Later on I discover it is missing its label/labeled wrong/scratched somewhere. If you don't think you need to remember the shade you're buying and aren't worried about buying doubles, then forge ahead. Lesson learned: Don't trust store labels. Check for yourself that the polish you're purchasing has the correct label/sticker/name/shade/number and always check to see that the bottle is in good shape.
6. Can You Return it?
Did you know you can return nail polishes to many stores? If you order from Walgreens, Sephora, CVS, Walmart, Rite Aid, Avon, ULTA, MAC, then you can return your item within 30 days with a recipt. This goes for other cosmetics purchases as well. For all other stores, simply call and politely ask if they do returns/exchanges. Usually if you treat them how you would like to be treated, they let you work it out.
Brands want you to be happy with your purchase and so do the stores. Hassle-free returns are especially handy if you picked up something defective accidentally. When Sally Hansen Crackles first came out I bought them and my red was defective from possibly being opened beforehand. I loved being able to return it for a refund instead of throwing that money in the trash!
7. Check for Deals & Reviews
Get in the habit of checking out blogs/brand sites to get the best deals. Sign up for e-mails, updates, and helpful websites for the best deals. Follow bloggers like Nouveau Cheap which updates readers about bargains and new lines as well as providing reviews/swatches. Dive into awesome programs that reward you like the CVS Beauty Card and Sephora Beauty Club to get even better deals/perks. This usually signs you up for e-mails as well!
Reviews are crucial when it comes to nail polish. Swatched polishes look so different from the nail polish in the bottle 75% of the time. When buying online, be ready to take a major risk if you don't see swatches beforehand. I very rarely am able to get a polish that matches the picture. Forever 21's Love & Beauty polishes are a good example of inconsistency. Don't forget that reading a review is also a good way to see how well it applies and lasts. When shopping and not sure about a brand/color, simply jot it down and research it when you get home to avoid some hassle!

1915: Joe Hill
November 19th, 2007 Headsman
On this date in 1915, songwriter, poet and labor activist Joe Hill was shot in Utah for the murder of a local butcher.
Even before his execution, the Swedish immigrant was widely thought to have been railroaded for his IWW affiliation.
Though state authorities had little use for the worldwide clemency bid whose backers included U.S. President Woodrow Wilson — powerless to intervene officially, since the execution was a state matter — Hill walked spryly into his martyrdom. The strange post-mortem career of his totemic ashes is the least of the ways Hill lives on.
His dauntless last message to fellow Wobbly Bill Haywood — "Don't waste any time mourning. Organize." — is a permanent fixture on pins and placards among every stripe of left activist. The songs he wrote remain in print — and in performance.
And the Depression-era tribute ballad "I Dreamed I Saw Joe Hill Last Night" can seamlessly serenade ripped-from-the-headlines footage, as a Paul Robeson rendition does in these clips of 1998 protests against then-New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani.
