Can $5,000 Buy Homeland Security?
On the U.S.-Canada border, a Mohawk tribe waits for help
ST. REGIS MOHAWK RESERVATION, New York_As he lies in bed listening to smugglers on the river, Andrew Thomas wonders how much homeland security $5,000 (?4,160) can buy.
Thomas is the tribal police chief who patrols a geographic hiccup, the only Indian reservation that straddles America's northern border. Part of the St. Regis Mohawk reservation is in America, part is in Canada, and a river and several islands fall in between, making these 12 miles (19 kilometers) of rural New York some of the country's most popular for smuggling.
As the U.S. government tries harder to secure its borders, this is one door that remains wide open.
Tribal residents don't like outside officials poking around, so Thomas and his officers, all three of them per shift, are America's first line of defense. For their efforts, they get $5,000 (?4,160) in homeland security money a year.
"Pennies," Thomas says.
But better than nothing, which is what they got in 2002 and 2003.
At night, the St. Lawrence River hums with the sounds of smugglers slipping from one side of the reservation to the other in their stripped-down boats. They carry marijuana, Ecstasy, money, human cargo and for Thomas, more than a little frustration.
After dark, he leaves policing of the river to the nearby U.S. Border Patrol station, which watches the reservation waters on the American side. Sometimes the smugglers wait just over the line.
The tribal police have a boat, but not enough people to operate it. "An expensive paperweight in the parking lot," Thomas calls it.
But the $5,000 (?4,160) is being put to good use.
The St. Regis residents are building a protective fence, around the police station itself.
"I'm slowly pulling my hair out," says Derek Champagne, district attorney for Franklin County, which surrounds the reservation. He prosecutes all crimes committed in the county, on the reservation and off. "If we're gonna have a border, it should really mean something."
Last year, about $8.4 million (?7 million) in marijuana and $6 million (?5 million) in Ecstasy were seized after moving through the reservation and into the quiet farm country of northern New York. Authorities arrested 120 people as well, a mix of tribal members and outsiders.
The seized drugs are a fraction of what comes over.
"Do you honestly think we're getting 5 percent of what comes through?" Champagne asks.
The numbers come from a two-year-old task force of more than a dozen local, state and federal authorities. But they work mostly outside the reservation and its 9,000 residents on the American side.
Champagne pops in a videotape of the St. Lawrence River that divides the tribal lands in two. On the tape, shot in winter, trucks drive freely over the now-frozen border. In other parts of the reservation, land roads connect the U.S. and Canada all year, with no checkpoints and no questions.
Earlier this year, Champagne showed the tape to a state terrorism conference in Albany.
"People said, 'That's our border?'" he says. There was no other real response.
Bill Ritchie, who leads Franklin County's task force, says he doesn't even know of any sensors on the reservation, like the ones placed along America's borders to monitor illegal crossings.
"How do we police that?" asks the local Border Patrol agent-in-charge, Dick Ashlaw.
Quietly, some law enforcement officials blame the lack of a real solution on the traditional tension between government and tribe, whose members post signs against the "feds" and "Gov. George Custer Pataki" along the reservation's main highway.
"No one wants to look like the big bad government squeezing the Indian," says Robert Singer, a retired Border Patrol agent who lives near the reservation.
It may happen just the same.
Julius Beeson just got caught in the unique geography. He tried to cross the one bridge that links the reservation's two halves, but was turned back by federal border officials for not having the right identity documents.
They asked for a Canadian work permit, he says. He didn't have one.

When the World was Young, 1941
By Martha McBride Morrel
This book provides an overview of the history of life on earth. Dinosaurs are given their due, but only
a few genera are profiled, including Tyrannosaurus, "Trachodon," Diplodocus, Stegosaurus, and Triceratops,
and each of these genera are given their own chapter. No mention is made of other commonly known (circa
early 1940's) dinosaurs such as ankylosaurs, Apatosaurus (Brontosaurus), Allosaurus, etc. In addition, while
plesiosaurs are discussed, no mention is made of ichthyosaurs or mosasaurs.
In general, only the profiled dinosaurs are provided an illustration (by R. E. Falconer), and many of these, such as the
Stegosaurus and Tyrannosaurus above, are based on the James Allen's pieces that he did for the
Sinclair Dinosaur
If you collect old dinosaur books for their illustrations, definitely skip this one.

SilverStripe CMS is easy for both developers and content authors to work with. The SilverStripe Framework keeps the code tucked away neatly so that it can be accessed easily by programmers but does not get in the way of content authors.
Edit content with ease
An out-of-the-box installation of SilverStripe CMS provides all the day-to-day editing control you're likely to need as a content author. With WYSIWYG and drag & drop functions, site editors have full control over the way they want their content to look without needing to know HTML. If you can use a word processor, you can use SilverStripe CMS. Images and files can be added through a drag & drop interface, and pages and templates are fully customisable. Themes and widgets allow even more extensions. Developers can further customise the interface to suit how you work as an author and as a business.
Build it simple or build it complex
Code rather than a graphical user interface (GUI) is used to build SilverStripe CMS websites. Beginning programmers can achieve quite powerful things by following recipes and tutorials, and there are numerous modules available for functions such as blogs, forums, and web forms.
The framework is targeted at savvy PHP programmers. It gives developers creative freedom in building complex websites quickly and robustly, allowing them to edit code directly, without having to go through a restrictive GUI to manage code. SilverStripe Framework is built upon modern best practices, using an object-oriented MVC/ORM architecture.
Design freedom
With the code tucked away in the framework, website designers are free to use HTML and CSS however they like in order to control the site's look and feel. SilverStripe CMS supports multiple page templates so as a designer you can provide different looks for different needs.
Get your workflow in order
As a content author, you can set up approval processes for new content, publish or unpublish items on a particular date (embargo/expiry function), and have differing levels of access permissions for different parts of your site. SilverStripe CMS lets you plan your content in advance, offering draft and live versions of your site, as well as a rollback option to bring back an old version of a page, as it used to be. Content is also shareable across multiple sites, managed through a single installation of the CMS.
Play well with others
Get some support
SilverStripe CMS has been downloaded over 500,000 times so there is a community of developers behind the project. Documentation for SilverStripe is available and there are numerous forums and books available, all of which can support your use of SilverStripe. SilverStripe Ltd. has Partners around the world, and our global SilverStripe Developer Network has members in over 30 countries. Because SilverStripe Ltd. is managing the development of the source code, you can be assured that there is someone to call if you need professional services, such as resolving an issue or commissioning a feature. At the same time, you are not locked in to a single vendor.

B is for Bond, Buzzard, Bernanke
Charlie is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Picture buzzards circling your portfolio. That vivid image came to me about six months ago as rising bond fund prices and shrinking yields got my serious attention. Would complacency put me at high risk when Bernanke and his FED changed the game? Time to flee!
I ought to be largely in Bonds, like 70% or 80%. My actual exposure, however, is zero. Fearful? You bet I am! If Bond yields were water, we would see investors checking their canteens. I continue to watch two funds I formerly invested with: one is the Vanguard Total Bond Market ETF (NYSEMKT: BND), and the other is Vanguard's VWESX Long Term Investment Grade fund. I am looking for clues to the right time to return to either of these funds, and have yet to find any. VWEX fell off about 4% in the last 6 months, and its SEC yield is about 4%. So had I been buying that fund I would have gained nothing in the last six months! BND had about the same results, perhaps a bit worse; it's off about 2% with a yield of 2.4%, and is trading in the middle of its 52 week range ($108.84-$112.71) at $110.93. The much lauded PIMCO TOTAL RETURN shows similar numbers, as does American Funds Strategic Income (NYSE: CSP).
Unfortunately, there is no more hope today. If values drop another 4%, which could easily happen, the yield won't even keep you close to whole, so the time is not yet right for me to return. Meanwhile, Bernanke's FED holds to a course that oppresses Bond yields and props up the prices (he's a massive buyer). I expect that when the music stops, and he becomes a seller, prices decline, perhaps rapidly, until people like me see it as attractive enough to start returning to the Bond market. The math is as implacable as it is chilling: just start at a share price of $11.00 with 2% yield, assume a sharp increase in yield to 3%--what does the new share price have to get to? My math says $7.40 near enough. Of course, that won't happen overnight, and portfolio changes with new bonds at higher rates will provide some defense. Just imagine this nightmare- Bernanke and the FED start SELLING bonds, yields rise, maybe inflation too, your capital shrinks as prices fall faster than your yields go up. What can you do then? Ride it out? Sell? You've already lost part of your capital to invest elsewhere. Fool ratings on a broadly traded Bond Fund iShares Trust Lehman Aggregate Bond (NYSEMKT: AGG) are abysmal, tending to confirm my bias.
One possible defense might be to select closed-end funds like CSP that are now trading at a discount to Net Asset Value (NAV) rather than full NAV. CSP appears to be in vogue because the NAV discount on CSP has moderated, going from more than a 10% discount to 5%-8% in recent months, indicating that it has been a more popular buy. CSP invests in mortgage-related securities, which may be good diversification, but is no safe haven today.
Maybe a better move for me would be to go for ULTRASHORT Bond funds like USAA's UUSTX, which has an averaged maturity in its portfolio of bonds of just 1.52 years. More to the point, UUSTX has a duration of .69, which means you can estimate that for each 1% rise in interest rates, the price should only drop about .69%, a pretty good defense. Still, its trading at its 52 week high of 10.14, which suggests its popularity as a defensive bond fund just isn't much of a find for my situation.
My best move looks to be stay away so far. How long can Bernanke and his FED friends keep this up? Maybe about 4 or 5 years, give or take. Still, what might I lose in the process? If I knuckle under and buy, maybe 10% or 20% possibly more on declining bond prices. But I would get maybe 2% a year on yield, so perhaps I end 4 years of frustration down 2% or 3%. If I stay clear, I miss out on say 1.5%-2% yield over 4 years, on $1000.00 that's about $20 a year, and a whopping $80 for all 4 years--pitiful. Not nearly enough to compensate for the risk, and certainly not enough to compensate for the worry or the annoyance factor.

This collection of foundational papers on sex differences in the brain traces the development of a much-invoked, fast-growing young field at the intersection of brain and behavior. The reader is introduced to the meaning and nature of sexual dimorphisms, the mechanisms and consequences of steroid hormone action, and the impact of the field on interpretations of sexuality and gender.
Recent scientific findings about human decision making would seem to threaten the traditional concept of the individual conscious will. The will is threatened from "below" by the discovery that our apparently spontaneous actions are actually controlled and initiated from below the level of our conscious awareness, and from "above" by the recognition that we adapt our actions according to social dynamics of which we are seldom aware.
The evolution of cognitive neuroscience has been spurred by the development of increasingly sophisticated investigative techniques to study human cognition. In Methods in Mind, experts examine the wide variety of tools available to cognitive neuroscientists, paying particular attention to the ways in which different methods can be integrated to strengthen empirical findings and how innovative uses for established techniques can be developed. The book will be a uniquely valuable resource for the researcher seeking to expand his or her repertoire of investigative techniques.
Science tries to understand human action from two perspectives, the cognitive and the volitional. The volitional approach, in contrast to the more dominant "outside-in" studies of cognition, looks at actions from the inside out, examining how actions are formed and informed by internal conditions. In Disorders of Volition, scholars from a range of disciplines seek to advance our understanding of the processes supporting voluntary action by addressing conditions in which the will is impaired.
In From Molecule to Metaphor, Jerome Feldman proposes a theory of language and thought that treats language not as an abstract symbol system but as a human biological ability that can be studied as a function of the brain, as vision and motor control are studied. This theory, he writes, is a "bridging theory" that works from extensive knowledge at two ends of a causal chain to explicate the links between.
Why do we divide our world into contraries? Why do we perceive and interpret so many of life's contraries as mutually exclusive, either/or dichotomies such as individual~collective, self~other, body~mind, nature~nurture, cooperation~competition? Throughout history, many have recognized that truth may well lie in between such polar opposites.
Our intuition tells us that we, our conscious selves, cause our own voluntary acts. Yet scientists have long questioned this; Thomas Huxley, for example, in 1874 compared mental events to a steam whistle that contributes nothing to the work of a locomotive. New experimental evidence (most notable, work by Benjamin Libet and Daniel Wegner) has brought the causal status of human behavior back to the forefront of intellectual discussion. This multidisciplinary collection advances the debate, approaching the question from a variety of perspectives.
Despite their apparently divergent accounts of higher cognition, cognitive theories based on neural computation and those employing symbolic computation can in fact strengthen one another. To substantiate this controversial claim, this landmark work develops in depth a cognitive architecture based in neural computation but supporting formally explicit higher-level symbolic descriptions, including new grammar formalisms.
The question of consciousness is perhaps the most significant problem still unsolved by science. In Inner Presence, Antti Revonsuo proposes a novel approach to the study of consciousness that integrates findings from philosophy, psychology, and cognitive neuroscience into a coherent theoretical framework.

V is for Victor
I finally got to meet my little bundle of joy, Victor, today. Theresa is one of my oldest and closest friends - we practically met in the womb. Both our mom's knew each other back in the day and when we were five, we finally got to meet in India on my first day of pre-school, and we've been best friends since… the kind like Riding in Car with Boys - you know, where they plan on having kids at the same time so they can either marry or be best friends.

Best to have reflective
posted 5 years ago
Always best to have a reflective tag for your animal. And this one you can write your own information on with a pen. It is waterproof too. But I would be concerned that the writing of important information with a pen might come off.

I like the Fuzz Factory but if you want Tame Impala tones get yourself a Fuzz Face and a Small Stone(to begin with).
I like the Fuzz Factory but if you want Tame Impala tones get yourself a Fuzz Face and a Small Stone(to begin with).
Germanium ODs are alright but I don't really like the Germanium Muff. If I were you I would save up and go with the boutique option.
I'm personally a pretty big fan myself. She's an awesome gal and builds some insane shit. I've had a chance to fuck around with a few different ones over a while, and have always found myself enjoying it.
Which do you have?
To each his own.
Get a bigger board. How this would be a problem to anyone is ridiculous… Caring more about the look and tightness of your pedal board rather than making sure all the key components are there is rather silly. There are no substitutes.
Well thanks! Yes, you can never go wrong with a Big Muff.
These two blogs are pretty awesome: Guitar Porn. Oscillateur.
That would be great, I've actually been looking for his pedalboard for a while.
-Thanks, Bobby
I'd highly recommend a TC Electronics Nova Delay. I think it'll suit what you need perfectly.
& obviously, get yourself a good fuzz. Check out our icon for a good recommendation.
- Richard
I personally despise Little Big Muffs, they just don't deliver the power that I've come to expect from real Big Muffs. I love fuzz too much to deal with that defanged cobra of a pedal.
I know Bobby probably has a really in-depth analysis of why he's not fond of Little Bitch Muffs, but I'll answer your question with a simple answer: Not enough power.
You should probably watch this too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtczyo9m5NI
- Richard
Thanks for the kind words. Just remember, we're all in this shit together.
Well that really depends on what style of music you play. You can't go wrong with a good overdrive pedal though(and/or a big muff).
Well the Phase 90 is a classic(even though I don't like it) and the Phase 100 is kinda better because it let's you control the wave type. I would suggest you get on Craigslist and find a good EHX Small Stone. Those things have a much more versatile sound.
The only real cure is a giant hole in your wallet.
We don't discuss Dan Auerbach 'round these parts. I have a personal grudge against him.
Just kidding, but not really.
Seriously though… It is pretty funny, but the man gets some amazing tone from those vintage guitars, and knows how to pick em well so we'll let him slide for now.
Thanks for the love,
Thank you very much for your kind words.
Have you considered getting a new tuner? Most newer models like the TU-3 and the Polytune have light sensitive LEDs.
Hey everyone, thanks for following the blog.
We reached 200 followers today, which is kind of cool. Especially since it's just Bobby and I running this thing. But we do appreciate all the positive vibes comin from you guys, and hope you all enjoy the blog as much as we do!
Stay tuned for more surprises and what not.

'Ben Hurt': Portland bike warriors smash and crash
Wednesday , February 22, 2012 - 2:43 PM
Chariot riders battle in a Ben Hur-like chariot race at Chariot Wars during a three-day Mini Bike...
PORTLAND, Ore. -- Looking like punk gladiators, teams of young adults on junk bikes pulling chariots made of junk parts frenetically chased each other around a makeshift arena, slamming each other and swinging away with foam clubs.
Spectators tossed beer cans, flour and smoke grenades. Firecrackers popped and obscenities flew during the battle, called the "Ben Hurt Chariot Wars."
And then, toward sundown, the grown-ups arrived.

In most cases, when you lay an egg on Broadway it's considered a bad thing. But not when your goalie lays one up on the scoreboard in New York, as was the case Thursday night.
Behind Ondrej Pavelec's shutout performance, the Atlanta Thrashers played one of it's best games in many, many moons and beat the New York Rangers 3-0 in a game that was very important to their playoff chances. It was the fourth shutout of the season for Pavelec…the first since blanking the Washington Capitals 1-0 just prior to the All Star break… and the sixth of his career.
Pavelec stopped 29 Ranger shots to drop the goose egg on the ice of Madison Square Garden.
The Rangers, on the other hand, looked like a team playing with their Pucker Factor Meter cranked up to 11. The loss leaves them sitting with 91 and only one game left, Saturday afternoon against the New Jersey Devils.
It also swings the door wide open for the Carolina Hurricanes, who sit just 2 points behind the Rangers but have two games remaining on the schedule. One of those games will be Friday night here in Atlanta. So New York will be looking for the Thrashers to have a repeat performance to help out their cause.
The Canes will close out their regular season Saturday night against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Theoretically, they could still finish as high as 7th in the Eastern Conference given the Buffalo Sabres have 92 points with 2 remaining.
Buffalo will take on the Philadelphia Flyers Friday and Columbus Blue Jackets Saturday.
So by the time the Thrashers finish their 2010-11 campaign against the Penguins Sunday afternoon, we'll already know which one of those three teams is left out of the playoff race, and they'll have had something to say in how two of them faired down the stretch.
However, Atlanta's 2011 Spring Spoiler Tour will be far from over as Pittsburgh has worked their way back to within one point of the Flyers. The outcome of Sunday's game here could very well determine who winds up winning the Atlantic Division and possibly the second seed in the east.
Going back to the race lower down between the Canes, Rangers and Sabres, I have to say that of those three the one I would really like to see in the postseason the most in Carolina. If they do beat out the odds and squeak in somehow, it'll mean the Southeast Division will send a trio of teams to this spring's Great Hunt for Lord Stanley's Cup.
But to do so, the Hurricanes will need to depart Thrasherville with a pair of points, something I hope the Thrashers deny them of, or at least make them scrap hard for them. I'm a Thrashers fan first, after all.
Looking forward, if the Canes do indeed find there way in then what I'll personally be pulling for is a Tampa Bay-Carolina Eastern Finals. Yeah, that's a long shot given the way teams like Washington, Pittsburgh and Boston are playing…but just think of the wailing and gnashing of teeth that would come from north of the Mason-Dixon line if such a matchup were to happen in a couple of months.
Such a scenario would be made even that much sweeter if a possible Lighting vs. Hurricanes ECF were also combined with on pairing Nashville with, say, Phoenix out west…or Dallas if they were to pull off the miracle finish.

Fantastic game by Thrashy tonight. I thought Bogo made some key defensive moves on the first PK. Little and Ladd had full stride tonight. Ranger Fan is going to be rubbing their sweaty palms together the next few days and Carolina Fan is going to be buying stock in Thrashy (I wish).
Looks like Dallas is going to get 2 of the 4 pts needed to get in by leading CO 4-2. Bummer.

Blog Master, I see a Tampa vs Vancouver match for the cup. I would have had LA as a spoiler but with their recent injuries I have to take them out as I think Nashville or Phoenix will toast them, and you have to think that LA is hoping for Phoenix. Chicago or Dallas will face Vancouver and they have to be a bit worried. Put the body on and pound the Sedins, only way to make it work.
I don't think Carolina will catch Buffablow, but they can make it in. Sorry Ranger Fan. Tampa has to be worried about a healthy Pitt, that is going to be an ugly series. I would love to see Boston and Philly as the ECF, kind of like a UFC match.

Better to drop a goose egg than a giant goose turd the size of Manhattan. Good win fellas!
Sucks being spoiler but why not dish out some more bitter disappointment tomorrow night against the damn Canes. We owe Erik Cole and company a giant a$$ whuppin so have at it kids, go out there and make us proud for once. I'd like to see a 4 to 3 OT win with Cole on the ice for the GWGA. Canes can earn a point and still squeak in with a win as long as NYR lose right? Looks like we'll need the whole season to determine the outcome of my bet with Red Light.
Who else is going tomorrow night? I'll be somewhere in the 200's, gotta look at the tkts.
April 7th, 2011

Looks like Vancouver is going to add yet another win to their amazing 2011 point totals. They lead Minnesota, 4-0, through two periods. Who would have thought the Canucks would be having this kind of season, when GM Mike Gillis was hired, two years ago?
FanFromCarolina, good luck to the 'Canes. I am pulling for them to make it in. I had posted in an earlier blog, that as fans debate the strength and weaknesses of the various divisions, that it looks better for the SE Division to send three (3) entrants into the hunt for Lord Stanley's Cup. I like Carolina's chances against either Washington or Philadelphia. I think they could push the series to six or seven games, for sure. The good thing for Carolina now is … they control their own destiny. It's up to them to win out against Atlanta and Tampa Bay.
Montreal was QUITE FORTUNATE to gain a point against the Ottawa Senators, tonight. Ottawa was eleven seconds away from a regulation time win, when the player I pressed to acquire from Los Angeles, when he was a King, Mike Cammalleri, scored to force overtime. I told told, "Cammalleri's too slow. He can't keep up with Kovalchuk." Well, if Mike Cammalleri sucks so much, why has he scored so many goals in the NHL? Clearly, he does not suck. Kuba was the OT hero for Ottawa.
WBF, I know Buffalo has new ownership, committed to winning, but do you think any overpriced Sabres could be headed out of town to let Regier go shopping and trading this offseason? Vanek, Roy, and Pomminville have some trade value. Stafford have something like 30-31 goals in some sixty-odd games. Vanek has 31, I think, but he's played almost every game this year.
ZAvalanche, unfortunately, I missed Stewart's big play, but I might be able to catch in on Comcast's "OnDemand."
I'm not much of a Dallas Stars fan, but I'd like Kari Lehtonen to get a chance to redeem himself for those 2007 playoffs. What a shootout, last night, between the Kings and the Coyotes. I hope the Coyotes and Predators can finally get a playoff series win in their respective cities this year.
My pick to win the Cup is Washington, but I honestly can't say that the Caps will escape the first round. Buffalo or Carolina could be a troublesome matchup.

What game was HE at Thursday night ? Was he drunk ? What ? Pav's WAS Hot and made
a number of Point Blank Saves….

LAC, I don't think the same thing will happen next year. This team is young and getting more experienced by the day. I have really enjoyed the hockey they have played down the stretch. The part about not playing like this every game is purely (in my opinion) due to a lack of team chemistry. It will gel and Thrashy is going to be a 6th seed next year – yup, you heard it here first.
Brendan, a solid PF with good hands and speed is hard to find, see if you can get the clip of Stewy roasting 2 defenders. Guaranteed you will enjoy it. As for our discussion as to who "won" the trade, I think it is win-win. Charlie Sheen would agree
Carolina Fan, I hope you make it, I would love nothing more to see the big market knocked out (they play the Devils) and replaced by a southern team. Thrashy made me proud today and my NYC buddies are p!ssed as hell at me for rooting for them. Lundqvist looked mortal tonight and if he doesn't pick it up he is going to be golfing soon – but he has to talk some trash to Carolina and cross his fingers.
Blog Master – hmmm, Caps vs Canucks. One of those will be upset I think. I hate Vancouver, LA, San Jose and Dallas, most especially Detroit, so I am hoping for some upsets in the West. In the East, I really don't have a problem with any team other than the Devils, but I would like to see a southern team make it to the cup again. I still want the Preds in the cup final.
To all of the posters who say Pavs doesn't get it done, you are eating crow right now. He was FANTASTIC tonight. Pick up some solid D and Thrashy will be a strong team next year. It takes time to grow into the game, obviously, and Thrashy is doing that. Bogo was good as well, though he gets hammered on this board.
Anybody else super excited to see some playoff hockey?? Best game in the world. By far.
April 8th, 2011
12:55 am
Well, back when we were stuck on 60-points, I questioned whether we'd make it back to 76-points. Now, it seems, we actually have an outside chance of equaling the 83-points of the 2010 season. To do that, we'll need a win and an OTL or SOL. I think we could beat the Penguins on Sunday. That gets us to 82-points, but we'd need a pity point in Friday's Hurricanes game.
Keith Jones, the mental Giant of the Versus crew, has already decreed that Carolina will trounce us, since we're tired from tonight, and don't have Carolina's talent. I think he specifically said that Carolina has dominated us, and that Cam Ward would shut us down. Well, I guess we'd better not watch that game, then, huh?
Okay, a few more eliminees in the contest. With the win, the following posters, at 78 and 79-points, are eliminated: Nate, Jethro, Zoomo, Joe Friday, and Curly.
Still alive, at 80-points, are: Red Light, WBF, and Ex-STH. Eliminated, at 80-points, is J-Man, because he has the Thrashers 13th in the Conference, and Atlanta will either finish 11th or 12th. At 81-points, Brendan and polskidawg are still alive, tied to an 11th place Conference finish. Dwayne is eliminated, at 81-points, because he has the Thrashers 3rd in the SE Division, and Atlanta has clinched the 4th spot. At 83-points, all by himself, is BuzzEng. And, at 84-points, is Russ. R.Stroz, and J(Z) are eliminated at 84-points because they do not have the Thrashers in the 4th spot in the SE Division, therefore, they lose the tie-breaker to Russ.
So, to recap, if the Thrashers finish with 84-points, Russ wins the tie-breaker over R.Stroz and J(Z), because Russ has the Thrashers in 4th place in the SE Division and R.Stroz and J(Z) do not. If the Thrashers finish with 83-points, BuzzEng wins the contest. If the Thrashers finish with 81-points, dwayne loses the tie-breaker to both polskidawg and Brendan, who would share the victory, with identical guesses of 81, 4th, and 11th. If the Thrashers finish with 80-points, it's a nail-biter! WBF, Red Light, and Ex-STH all have the Thrashers at 4th in the SE, as does J-Man. However, J-Man has the Thrashers 13th, which eliminates him. Ex-STH has them 12th, and WBF and Red Light have identical picks of 11th. The 11th and 12th place spots are neck-n-neck between Atlanta and NJ.
Remember, the first tie-breaker criteria is SE Division rank. The second tie-breaker is rank within the Eastern Conference. If there are identical winning picks, we'll have multiple winners. In the event that no one guesses the correct total, we'll go to whoever is closest, based on the tie-breakers. If, for example, the Thrashers finish with 82-points, nobody guessed that. BuzzEng had 83-points, 4th in SE, and 10th in East, while polskidawg and Brendan have 81-points, 4th and 11th in the East. In that case, BuzzEng is eliminated because he tied his 2nd tie-breaker to 10th place in the East, which Toronto has now clinched. Atlanta can only finish 11th or 12th in the East.
With two games left, we have seven (7) posters still alive, out of 83, last October: Russ, BuzzEng, polskidawg, Brendan, WBF, Red Light, and Ex-STH. Good luck to all of you. Thanks to all that played.

If the Thrashers finish with 84 points, I will declare a Meat Loaf victory with my forecast of 84 points, 3rd in the division, and 11th in the conference.
For those of you wondering what a Meat Loaf victory is, "Two Out of Three Ain't Bad."
April 8th, 2011
1:36 am
I caught it, right away, R.Stroz. It's been a really, really close contest this year. I hope it's 83-points, so we can equal last year's total, in our first full year without Kovalchuk. And then, the person with the best handle, BuzzEng, would win the contest.

Folks, don't be surprised if Buffalo folds this weekend. I am sttill not toally sold on this team, they would be cooked if they did not have Enroth, he's the reason they are still in this. The choice to keep Patricl LaLime (LaLame) as the backup was horrible this season-no value other than being Ryan Miller's buddy, that's it.
Rangers just blew it last night. I give our guys credit, but will give them more credit if they can beat Carolina tonight. Now that would make me happy!
Brendan, not sure what Buffalo will do this summer. Vanek will be named captain because he earned it, especially after his hattie the other night. Sabres have some kids to bring up, or deal if they want to win now. Buffalo has developed their players well in the minors; their kids are their future. They are a team to watch on July 1, a darkhorse for Brad Richards, in my opinion.
April 8th, 2011

Z, I hope you are right, We looked forward to making the playoffs this season, but it seems we lay an egg after the first of the year, Every year. We need some changes, YES, but we have scored as many goals as Washington. But look at the GA, This has KILLED Atlanta for years and defense has prevented us from becoming a playoff team. We MUST make solid changes on defense, or
do what Washington did and chamge the system and play a defensive first system.
I AGAIN, agree with Smoothie… We OWE Carolina an A$$ Whipping , like the 9-0 one we handed them in 2006. If someone does not lay Erik Cole out along the boards or on the ice, I will be very disappointed, he has cost us this season 7 points I figure.
Brenden, keith jones needs to go wherever and get back in his hole. He $ucks, like I have never seen. As I rarely watch versus, I don't see him, but he may as well come out on the air and say, "I Hate Atlanta, I hate the Team, The City and ESP Their FANS." Then he would be telling the truth, he is simply one of the WORST hockey has to offer ! He should never be allowed on TV ever !
But I still think of all the goals and points zach has cost us this season, I really feel if he was gone this season, we would be in the playoffs. Wishful Thinking.
Let's hope for a BIG WIN Tonight ! And another Pittsburgh beatdown would leave a refreshing taste
in our mouths going into next season.

I do not see Torts getting fired in New York. The Rangers have had injuries to key players this season. I thouight they played extremely well when they were in here mid season with half their players injured. Torts seems to get alot out his players, the Rangers made a great comeback Monday night. Like the Thrashers, they are a few pieces short of being real good. The King is tired in the nets and he looks it lately. Shows you the value of having goaltender depth in your organization, which we do not have.
I like Vancouver alot, so much dedication to team play. Detroit is looking very old right now, but I would not count them out. This playoff season is going to be wide open, some great hockey ahead.

(also posted on Viv's board…) From the "Woulda-Shoulda-Coulda" department comes this gem… with winning records against the Flyers, Crapitols and Ranjerks, and tying records with Montreal and Boston, it would have been really nice to see what we could have done in the playoffs…Of course, we would have probably ended up playing TB or Buffalo in the first round…
April 8th, 2011
8:55 am
Is this Ground Hog Day or what? Every year once the pressure is off, we seem to play well. Certainly points to the lack of a veteran presence that can stabilize a young team during the down periods that hit every team. Add to it, the absolute inability of a coach to motivate a group of young men or to change strategies mid course and this Ground Hog Day is likely to be repeated next year. Does anyone know of any other business where you produce an inferior product year after year and then blame potential customers for not buying your crap? UNBELIEVABLE!
April 8th, 2011
9:02 am
Even if the Thrashers fail to pick up a point in the final 2 games, Dudley will declare the season a success and I'd expect a comment along of the lines of "We're already ahead of schedule" or something similar. It will be up to us fans to decide if we agree with that or not.
April 8th, 2011
9:11 am
I love how we play against the Rangers…you can tell they hate playing us, its like how we play against Tampa, like we know we are going to lose.
Great game! Re-sign Ladd and give Schremp a spot next year to compete for a job…this team desperately needs a player with good hands to make plays with Burmi. Plus over the course of a season he could give us 5 or 6 points by scoring in shoot outs.
April 8th, 2011
9:12 am
Exciting game. The kind of game that makes people want to watch. After the first 4-5 minutes they played a pretty good game. Aggressive play, great goaltending and a little luck. Sort of like the first half of the season. I really liked the way they challenged the Rangers. Pushing up ice. Wheeler would get the puck and drive it down the ice until someone stepped up to stop him. The million dollar question is why they can't play like that every night. It really makes you wonder HOW to get them to do that every game. Maybe they need a psychologist more than anything. What's Jack LLewellyn doing these days? Worked with Smoltz, maybe he can transform an entire team.
Also have to admit as much as I hate the Rangers, I was impressed again with Sam Rosen's call of the game. Obvious homer, but gave credit to Thrashers every time they earned it. Plus that voice would make reading the phone book sound good.
April 8th, 2011
9:32 am
Rawhide, the more disappointing thing, by far, is if the Thrashers actually do hit 84-points, they're locked into 11th place. Which means, what? Say it with me, for the eighth time in eleven season (8/11) the Thrashers will have finished in the BOTTOM THIRD of the Eastern Conference.
Truly, we are a franchise that does not catch many breaks. Maybe trading the 7th or 8th overall pick for a proven Tier I player can be accomplished at the morning of the Draft?
April 8th, 2011
9:35 am
WBF, Vanek has turned into the player we'd hoped he be, not 50 goals a season, but 30 and responsable play on both ends. A haas in front of the net and skates hard, every shift. Very unlike his first few years in the league.
I believe Roy & Pominville will be gone, stafford has saved his hide for the time being. I personally wouldn't mind all 3 being shipped out. If i have to watch Roy and Pominville try to make a play, fall down and complain to the refs while the play is going to the other end one more time i'll throw up. Roy especially is a dive king…too soft for my liking, let him go to broadway and or LA, he can continue acting there. ahhahaahhhaahah
Great game by the Thrash last night, I didn't get to watch, how did the russian D man look?
April 8th, 2011

Since February 25th's OTL versus the Panthers, when the team was 25-26-10, the team has gone 9-8-2, for a mark above .500, since that point. Prior to it, the team was playing at about a .333 clip for the previous 30 games or so. And a dysmal .150 clip during a portion that absolutely locked us out of the playoffs, as highlighted by the loss, in Edmonton, versus the Oilers.
Here's a link: http://www.cbssports.com/nhl/teams/schedule/ATL/
Truly, when we were locked on to 60-points, it looked as if LAC would win the AJC.com points contest with his lowball pick. We WERE on pace for that kind of finish, before Clint Malarchuk screamed at the boys and woke them up. But, as Sage of Bluesland might say, "Yeah, lotta good it did. Just blew our lottery draft pick." Sadly, that may be true.
WBF, I don't think Torts will get fired in NY. He did a lot with a team that I, personally, didn't think would come within a "sniff" of the playoffs, with Todd White and Erik Christensen, as their Centers, in preseason. The Rangers can still make the playoffs, they just need help, now.
WBF, the Sabres will probably spend, spend, spend during this offseason. I'd like to relieve them of Drew Stafford, if they feel he "disappears" too much, in Buffalo.
April 8th, 2011
9:56 am
Thanks Rawhide.
Brendan to your point, Stafford is only 24 and does disappear at times. I think he has 30 goals this season, with 4 hat tricks. So i believe he's played around 60 games, so 4 games 12 goals, 56 games 18 goals. Decent sure, but worth the amount of money he's going to want come contract time? Not sure, again he's ONLY 24 years old. Time is now though, being the 13th overall pick in 2004, its now time to either step up and be a star for the sabres, or step down and be a 3rd liner for your career. All of this is just my opinion, but watching almost every sabre game this year, I wouldn't give up a bunch if I were the thrashers to get Stafford.

it is amazing how one win can make most of the comments think in a positive vain. The team is still not good enough to make the playoffs next year. If you keep the same coach and the same owners think maybe 85 points next year?I guess most of you are old cub fan wait till next year..
April 8th, 2011
11:15 am
WBF, you are correct, Trots will not get the can. And a lot of people don't understand how tiring playing that many games as a goalie is, and having no real solid backup. HL is beat tired.
LAC, like I have said for a while, this team doesn't have a problem scoring, they have a problem defending. There were several situations last night where the defender had to turn around and chase when they should have already been playing back. And it wasn't because the Rangers had some sort of incredible outlet pass, just bad positioning by the D. And as I have stated before, I have zero problem with D jumping up, but when they do, the center or one of the wings needs to see this and rotate back to cover. Watch the Wings play, they do this all the time, it is a veritable Merry-go-round of offense and defense.
Pavs was outstanding. I thought he looked quick and really on top of the wrap around chances with his pads. **thumbs up to pavs**
I do believe Malkin will be playing, but Pitt would be a fool to play Crosby before the playoffs. I really wonder if Vancouver will "rest" their stars before the first round. Coach Dungy, formerly of the Colts, should call and tell them not to. When you are in a stride, you don't break it.
WBF – Detroit is always scary, no matter what position they are in but Vancouver is soooo deep, that club took the Detroit snapshot and built like they did. And guess what, it worked……very well. As much as I loathe Detroit, they have a system for building awesome teams every year. Charlie Sheen would call them a "winner". Perhaps they drink tiger blood?
April 8th, 2011
11:20 am
bulldog52 – I think you are wrong. This team has the skill, but is very young and lacks some solid veteran D. Sign two big D in the off season and this team is in the playoffs next year, guaranteed. Their problem, which I think RL or WBF stated a while ago, is that they play to the level of the opposition. When they grow up, they will kill it. Wheeler was an amazing trade and he is going to be a superstar in a few years.

You know who played really well? Mark Stuart. 7 hits??! Wow, this guy is all grit and heart, tough as freakin' nails. The new Garnet Exelby, but a helluva lot better skater. Bogosian played well. There, I said it. And Zubie looked a lot more comfortable last nite, however, he is still quite raw. Don't see him ever being more than a #7 depth D-man with potential for #6. We shall see.
Bring on the Canes and rain on their parade, payback is a dish served best wet and tropical. Suck it Carolina!!

Spud, Vanek grew up, finally-he is finally earning his money. Just goes to show you that sometimes it takes players time to get it together. Shanahan took time to mature on the ice.
Not sure where the team will go with Roy or Pominville. Roy is not a number one center, but was forced into the role once Briere and Drury left. Pominville has been overpaid for a long time, despite his skills on the special teams. I have never been a big fan of Pominville. Speaking of Briere, is it me or does Gerbe remind you of Briere? Two little guys that make players at the right time, good 3rd period guys. Get the kids like Adam, Byron, Gragnani up to the big club; I am a huge fan of Mike Weber, good that they left him in the minors to develop.
Zubarov was much better last night, great pass to Schremp on the first goal. He was much more relaxed and looked better out there. Bogo played better last night too-the entire team was loose. Hope it happens again tonight.
Brendan-Stafford was playinmg for a contract this season, thus the improvement in his play. I was all in favor of giving him to you, but he may have earned his way. Not sure Buffalo has to spend too much next season, they have kids on the farm including Zach Kassian in juniors to take spots. Spud named a few players that may be gone in the offseason, time to get rid of the soft players in BUF.

Bulldog52- I agree completely. One good game with no pressure and everyone sees this team through rose colored glasses. Over the last half of the season, it has folded at every key time- game, third period, OT, etc. We need more talent and a veterna presence to stabilize things when we hit the rough patches. We don't have it and we sure don't have the grit to stand up to teams that play a physical style. Most disappointing to the season tix fan base is our inability to win at home. Brendan and other statistic buffs- how does our home record compare to others in the SE division over the past 10 years. Tough to get fans back when all we experience are disappointing efforts.

Quote = Iceman: "Looking forward, if the Canes do indeed find there way in then what I'll personally be pulling for is a Tampa Bay-Carolina Eastern Finals. Yeah, that's a long shot given the way teams like Washington, Pittsburgh and Boston are playing…but just think of the wailing and gnashing of teeth that would come from north of the Mason-Dixon line if such a matchup were to happen in a couple of months."
Why would gnashing of teeth from "north of the Mason-Dixon line" occur? Your perception of at least some fans located elsewhere is apparently quite skewed. To Canadian fans anyway, we still get to watch our homeboys play and dominate under such a scenario. I'd personally love to see a Tampa versus Carolina Eastern final.

Need help with color of garage door, front door and trim
December 19, 2012 in Design Dilemma
I'd like to give the exterior of our new house a facelift. We are restricted by the HOA from painting the brick. What ideas are out there to help us dress things up? thanks!
may we see a picture of the rest of the house exterior, including windows?

If you want the doors to blend in quietly paint them grey somewhere between the roof and concrete color. If you want to have them make a statement go with a strong color like black as in the wrought iron or maybe a deep forest green like the landscape. Quiet or bold what do you want?
p.s. you would paint the front door to match

Either or of the above would work for me. The black would tie into the gate (charming) and the neutral will probably make the house more smooth.

I would paint the garage and trim Amherst Gray HC-167 by Benjamin Moore, Kendall Charcoal HC-166 by Benjamin Moore, or Iron Mountain 2134-30. Or if you prefer a lighter gray, then La Paloma Gray 1551.
I would replace the lanterns with more substantial ones. I would add a set of three trellisses on the brick side of the house. Fix the concrete driveway. Maybe replace part of it with concrete pavers or Belgian block. I think that the gutters and leaders need to be replaced. Upgrade to a five inch size.

If you really want to update and give your house a wow factor, type in stained garage doors into the HOUZZ browser. You will be amazed at the beautiful garage doors that will appear. Your garage doors are Center Stage so to speak on the design of your house. I think stained garage doors could really enhance them! In France, people were using stained gates and shutters too! They looked great.

I agree. Dark color for doors, trim gutters, gate, front door, etc. Some new lamps, bigger.

I would paint the trim & doors the exact same color as the brick. Bring attention to a garage is the last thing I would want. I would also paint the doors & walls behind the gate a bold color to pull the focus to the entrance leaving the gates black & maybe a turquoise door or red or even the entire door wall a rich color it would pull the eye towards the entrance. Add planters outside the gates to for color in a very large scale planter or urns. If you have shutters paint them black to match the iron gate. Or add them. The planting bed needs some height & interest along that long blank wall. A wall fountain or tall ever greens would warm it up and create some various in the heights and add the curb appeal. The garage should be the last thing you want to bring attention too. But over scale lighting would help.

I would paint the garage doors in A taupe and replace the garage exterior fixtures in a larger oil rubbed or black fixture. Add some drama with improved scale. I would paint the front door black. Your place is going to look awesome no matter how you proceed!

Hey dogparkdays, I don't know what your budget is but my eye is drawn to the cracked driveway, Maybe go for a courtyard feel and replace that section with pavers. I think the clay pavers retain their color better than the concrete ones. Whitacre Greer has a nice palette of colors that'll match up nicely with the house brick for the main field and maybe have a nice darker brown or charcoal paver band / sidewalk that leads into the entrance gate. You could probably then pipe the downspout so the rain wouldn't flow out near the gate and in front of the garage, keep down the ice. I added some sketchy photoshop to the image for a visual. Enjoy

Sorry @houssaon, I didn't see that you suggested fixing the driveway too, just skimmed and liked your colors.

I agree the driveway could use a face lift to. But you didn't ask about that. I would do a blacktop overlay for a budget fix. you could border it in patio pavers for a richer touch. and even do a inlay in the center. Kevin

Painting Services By Steve
Paint the garage doors something similar to Sherwin-Williams Kilim Beige, SW6106, they'll blend with the brick, do the wrought iron gate/fence, light fixtures, and front door the same, as well as the gutters. Then do something with the driveway. After thats all done, a waterfall of some sort against the brick wall to the right of the front, something small but yet noticeable. Right now the doors and gutters are highlighted and looks bad, subdue it with an earth tone

I was thinking a brown tone but it looks like those shingles don't .have a lot of brown in them. Therefore, prob. a gray would be better. But the front door still could be different. Painting gutters could be a nightmare/prob. in the long run better to replace with maintenance free in color of choice. Good luck!

I agree with many of the above posts. There is some great information for you. The one I do not agree with is from anniepugh. The front door should not be the same color as the trim, garage doors or any other color on the house. It should be bold and call attention to the entry not blend in and get lost.

Office of Human Resources
PASSHE Health Care open enrollment for the 2014–2015 plan year for faculty, managers, coaches, and OPEIU and SPFPA employees begins on Monday, April 28, 2014, and ends on Friday, May 9, 2014.
Open enrollment is your annual opportunity to change your health plan and add or remove dependents from your health and prescription drug coverage and your vision, dental, and hearing coverage (applies only to coaches, managers, and OPEIU and SPFPA employees). To continue with your current plan with current dependents (if applicable), no action is necessary.
If you are electing to make changes to your health plan during open enrollment, all changes will be effective July 1, 2014. Detailed information is available in the 2014 PASSHE Open Enrollment Newsletter. Please take the time to read this newsletter as it contains important information that impacts your health care coverage including, but not limited to:
If you reside in one of the counties in western Pennsylvania that fall in the service area for UPMC, in addition to this open enrollment opportunity to make elections effective for July 1, 2014, we will be holding an additional special open enrollment in late fall to make benefit changes between the Highmark Blue Shield plan and the UPMC HMO for an effective date of January 1, 2015. For more information on how this may impact you, visit the PASSHE website.
See the Open Enrollment newsletterfor bi-weekly health care contributions effective July 1, 2014. Please note that although the percentage paid by employees remains the same, the healthcare premium costs for the PPO and HMO plans have increased over the 2014–2015 plan year. Therefore, your contribution for the 2014–2015 plan year will be more regardless of whether you are paying 15 percent of the cost or 25 percent of the cost.
To change health plans and/or to add or remove dependents from your plan, you must enter your benefit changes through Employee Self-Service (ESS), and, if applicable, submit the required documentation to the Office of Human Resources, G-8 Sutton Hall, no later than Friday, May 9, 2014. Questions can be directed to the Benefits Office at (724) 357-2431.

- Archaeology
Use for works on the discipline of archaeology. Use with name of place as a subheading for a narrower focus. Use subheadings such as
Archaeology--Methodology and Archaeology--Field work for more specific aspects of Archaeology
- For the archaeology of a specific people or place, it is often better to use the name of the people or place as the subject heading with Antiquities as the subheading. For example, Mayas--Antiquities, Indians of South America--Andes Region--Antiquities, Southwest, New--Antiquities, Balkan Peninsula--Antiquities, or Rome--Antiquities
- Excavations (Archaeology)
Use with name of place as a subheading for locating works on archaeological sites.

- Paleontology
Only some of the works will deal with human paleontology, however.
- For other topics related to Archaeology, try your best at out-guessing the catalogers who have assigned subject headings. Try several synonyms, related or broader terms if necessary.

Recently, the law firm of Searcy, Denney, Scarola, Barnhart & Shipley filed a federal lawsuit in Tallahassee against The Florida Bar. It claims that the Bar's ethics rule restricting a law firm's website content and postings on blogs was an unconstitutional infringement on the firm's First Amendment rights.
As a practicing attorney for more than 30 years and a staunch defender of the First Amendment, not only do I support the law firm, but also find these rules to be archaic, arbitrary and an affront to the legal profession.
Attorneys are the protectors of our justice system and democracy. Courts have held that the First Amendment is the preeminent amendment. Yet, The Florida Bar mandates that lawyers give up those rights to speech when it comes to advertising, websites and blogging that other citizens enjoy. How can it be that those who are trained to protect freedoms enjoy fewer freedoms than others?
The age-old argument that attorney advertising is undignified or that scrupulous adherence to rigid, but nebulous, Bar rules somehow protect the public must give way to constitutional freedoms. Attorneys should push to extend freedoms, not be stifled in our own exercise of the rights we are sworn to protect.

This study is freely available to ICPSR member institutions. Also available as downloadable files. The purpose of this study was to contribute to the conceptual understanding and practical application of social integration theory to health behaviors. The research aimed to investigate the protective effects of community involvement in HIV/AIDS and gay-related organizations for HIV/AIDS sexual risk behavior among Latino gay or bisexual men and transgender individuals in Chicago and San Francisco. As part of this, the study examined HIV prevalence and the socioeconomic correlates of HIV infection, sexual risk behaviors, and substance use. Further, the study tested whether community involvement in AIDS and LGBT organizations moderated the relationship of racial and homosexual stigma to sexual risk behavior. Data were collected from a sample of 643 individuals (Chicago: n=320; San Francisco: n=323) through respondent-driven sampling and computer-assisted self-administered interviews. Demographic variables included ethnic identification, sexual identification, ZIP code (only available in restricted use data), country of birth, years in the United States, employment status, income, family religion, age, and health/STD status.

This study is freely available to ICPSR member institutions. Also available as downloadable files. This study is an evaluation of the National Supported Work Demonstration project, a transitional, subsidized work experience program for four target groups of people with longstanding employment problems: ex-offenders, former drug addicts, women who were long-term recipients of welfare benefits, and school dropouts, many with criminal records. The program provided up to 12-18 months of employment to about 10,000 individuals at 15 locations across the country for four years. In ten of these sites -- Atlanta, Chicago, Hartford, Jersey City, Newark, New York, Philadelphia, Oakland, San Francisco, and Wisconsin, 6,600 eligible applicants were randomly assigned either to experimental groups (offered a job in supported work) or to control groups, and an evaluation was conducted on the effects of the Supported Work Program. At the time of enrollment, each respondent was given a retrospective baseline interview, generally covering the previous two years, followed by up to four follow-up interviews scheduled at nine-month intervals. Two public use files were originally distributed for this data collection: Supported Work Employment and Earnings File, and Supported Work Deviant Behavior File. Each file contained data for up to five interviews, a cross-document dataset and an Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) recipients follow-up. The Employment and Earnings File contains data from all interview modules except the drug and crime sections, and the Deviant Behavior File contains all variables on the Employment and Earnings File as well as additional information on drugs and crime. Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) recipients were further asked about children in school and welfare participation, while all non-AFDC respondents were questioned about any extralegal activities. Demographic items specify age, sex, race, marital status, education, number of children, employment history, job search, job training, mobility, household income, welfare assistance, housing, military discharge status, and drug use.

For whatever reason, mobile users will do almost anything to keep from paying for an upgrade – including engage with ads.
The data comes from a new study by the Yankee Group called "Redefining Virtual Currency." It's an informative read and it's free, so you should check out the whole report if you're in the app biz. Disclaimer time: the survey was paid for by Tapjoy, a company that is in the mobile advertising biz. Not saying the data is biased, I just want to be clear.
The report says that 1 in 3 mobile owners are downloading 2 to 3 apps per month. 1 in 5 are downloading 4 to 6 apps a month. Almost all smartphone owners and more than 85% of tablet owners have at least one free app on their device.
When it comes to paid apps, the numbers drop. 63% of smartphone owners and 64% of tablet owners have paid for an app. Smaller, but still, very good numbers.
It gets better. 54% of smartphone owners and 41% of tablet owners have paid for an upgrade to an app.
So, we know they'll pay – but the flipside is, they'd rather not. Free is better, of course. Even if it means watching an ad in order to get a reward.
What kind of reward is worth the effort? This is my favorite chart from the study:
71% would watch an ad in return for a free coffee! LOL. Make that a Diet Coke and I'm in. I also find it fascinating that "paperback book" was the second most popular choice. Who says people don't read? At the top of the list is the tablet app, coming in 7% higher and a smartphone app. Why? It's not that tablets are more popular, it's probably because tablet apps cost more. I haven't seen a study but that's been my experience.
Mobile users are already warming up to the idea of exchanging time and information for digital goods. 53% of tablet owners in the survey said they already viewed commercials in exchange for a free app download. I don't think I have but I probably would if the opportunity presented itself.
Which brings me to the point – this is an opportunity for marketers that hasn't been fully explored. Pretend you like to hike. You get a free hiker's guide app but to get more hiking trails in your area you must pay an additional .99. Or you can submit your email address to a company that sells hiking gear and get the upgrade for free. It's a three-way win. The customer gets a personalized upgrade. The retailer gets a targeted email to add to his mailing list. The app developer gets a kick-back for every email he collects.
According to the study, The virtual currency market is currently sitting at $47.5 billion in the US. By 2017, it's expected to rise to $55.4 billion. Who doesn't want a piece of that?

Fraser firs may soon be in Georgia
Tired of driving to North Carolina for your freshly cut Fraser fir Christmas tree? A UGA horticulturist is developing a hybrid tree that combines the Fraser with the Momi fir, a Japanese cousin of the popular Fraser. Georgia's hot summers and mild winters make it difficult for farmers to grow Fraser firs in most of the state. While they will grow in north Georgia, the downside is the trees can be affected by a root fungus, which if not treated can kill infected plants. Fir trees also produce new growth very early in spring, which makes them susceptible to the freezing temperatures that sometimes pop up in late March and damage Georgia crops. The Momi fir made its debut in Georgia in the early 1990s. It can grow in Georgia, but farmers have to be careful to provide irrigation to young plants for two or three years and adjust soil pH. A downside to farmers: It takes six to eight years for the tree to reach a desirable Christmas tree size. Traditional Georgia Christmas tree species like Leland cypress and Virginia pine are mature enough to sell in three to four years.

Hey All,
My name is Adreanna and I am married to an Army Reserve soldier. We were high school sweethearts and the military was always in the future for us but I never imagined how tough it would be. He has been in for about a year and I'm still getting used to everything. Our first deployment is looming sometime in the summer and time seems to be passing faster than ever....anyone else a reservist wife?
Any tips?

Burn his skin

I bought this product for my 3 month old son who has eczema because all the reviews seem to be good. I used it for a week before stopping use. He screamed every time it went on, and it made his eczema much worse. I would not recommend it to anyone.

This is an oily cream. It takes ages for it to sink in. It DOES moisturise but it doesn't get rid of the eczema. I would not buy this cream again.
