After years of deliberation, the Asimov Convention was forced into action. A rogue cloud of nanoots known as Utility Fog had started to rapidly alter the stratosphere in a dangerous way. The only fix that would have an immediate effect on the quickly advancing Fog is a similar State issued Fog that only existed in laboratories at the moment. With this fog, the State and it's citizens could do almost anything: monitor and stabilize a person's glucose levels, heart rate, brain activity, and even the complicated colony of micro organisms that lives in every human being. State Fog could defend against nuclear, biological and chemical attacks. And if a technician whispered the words, State Fog could stabilize the global environment that was now rapidly spiraling out of control. For years, State Fog was locked down, as thousands continued to die from cancer, as millions died every day, ravaged by war and famine, as the environment slowly spiraled out of control.
When State Fog was discovered, an international regulatory committee was brought together in what is known as the Asimov Convention, named after Asimov's three laws of robotics. The three laws were unanimously agreed upon, however the reality of what constituted "injury to another human being" had become tremendously complicated in our globally connected world. But the Rogue Fog has forced the council's hand. Scientists determined that the outer stratosphere would degrade in only a matter of weeks, causing total global collapse. The Council was forced to make those hard decisions about what "injury" meant in the 21st century, and on this day the day the world changed forever.

As digital fabrication came online, even the corporation's physical objects could be easily copied. But they still couldn't find a good way to lock their commodities into the consumer retail space. Voters forced legislation that prevented total lockdown of content, the constitution prevented ubiquitous censorship and surveillance. The only thing that corporations could do, was make to try and make more technology faster, and to try novel marketing techniques. Production cycles dropped form years to months to weeks to hours. The day after a new phone launched, fab shops would freely hand out identical copies all over the pre-post industrial world. The only thing that kept corporations afloat were the diehard loyalists that based their identity — their entire lives off of the brands they consumed.

You may be surprised to learn who's on Twitter -- and who's not.
A strong stock market is setting the stage for more tech firms to go public. These companies should be on radar screens of tech investors.
With a foolish Facebook update, CEO Reed Hastings repeats history and raises expectations too high.
The blue chips fall 25. Gains for Apple and others offset weakness in energy and financial shares. The 10-year Spanish bond yields 7%-plus on reports of deepening bank problems. Homebuilders move up on rising confidence.
Global stimulus talk helps the blue chips to their fifth gain in six days. The market is led by materials and industrial stocks. Apple recovers from early losses. Michael Kors profit impresses. Boeing rises on an upgrade. Oil and gold move higher.
Futures trading suggests a big rally Monday after Europe sends a strong signal of support for Spain's banks. But weakness in China and worries about Greece may limit stocks' gains. The week's big US report: Retail sales on Wednesday.
The blue chips and S&P 500 rally from early losses but end down slightly on European worries. US jobless claims rise, and worries build about Friday's jobs report. Oil falls below $87. Facebook rallies after falling under $27.
It's easy to get caught up in the hype and excitement, but proceed with caution.

Vanessa is super impressed with BS for breaking Country Music news to her because she's usually the one who keeps him in the loop. :)
BS was at the checkout and was thumbing through the latest People Country issue and saw that Josh Thompson got married last year AND has a 9 month old daughter named Josie!
Check out the last paragraph in the picture below...
How did he keep this under the radar? In this day and age, that is a tough thing to do!
We are so happy for him! CONGRATULATIONS Josh!!
He's a great friend to WDEZ and we adore this Wisconsin born and bred talented singer/songwriter so much!
Go pick up his new album Turn It Up which is available NOW! You are going to love it as much as we do!

Quality Systems Inc. Stock Upgraded (QSII)
- EXCLUSIVE OFFER: Jim Cramer's Protégé, Dave Peltier, only buys Stocks Under $10 that he thinks could potentially double. See what he's trading today with a 14-day FREE pass.
- QSII's revenue growth trails the industry average of 11.7%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 1.5%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displayed by a decline in earnings per share.
- QSII has no debt to speak of therefore resulting in a debt-to-equity ratio of zero, which we consider to be a relatively favorable sign. Along with this, the company maintains a quick ratio of 2.50, which clearly demonstrates the ability to cover short-term cash needs.
- The gross profit margin for QUALITY SYSTEMS INC is rather high; currently it is at 63.50%. Regardless of QSII's high profit margin, it has managed to decrease from the same period last year. Despite the mixed results of the gross profit margin, the net profit margin of 13.64% trails the industry average.
- Current return on equity is lower than its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a clear sign of weakness within the company. Compared to other companies in the Health Care Technology industry and the overall market, QUALITY SYSTEMS INC's return on equity exceeds that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.

What they should have on their shoulders is a small gun that follows their eyesight and has a triangular crosshair.
My first thought was, "Really? Guns on our shoulders? This isn't Mechwarrior 9000." But then, as I gave it some thought, if it fit the expansion theme guns on the shoulders could work. There are actually quite a few mechanical mobs in-game. An Ulduar set piece could easily have incorporated some steampunkish mechanical gear.
It'd also be pretty sweet to add a set-piece proc to the shoulders that would launch a missile similar to the hand-mounted pyro rocket.
So long as "Robostalker" was for a single tier only.

Get Back Inc.: Vintage Industrial Furniture & Lighting
- Location: Oakville, CT
- Website: getbackinc.com
Died and gone to heaven. That's how we felt when we found this place. Who knew that such a treasure trove existed within striking distance of NYC?
Tipped off this week to Get Back Inc, we spent the better part of an hour trolling through their beautifully refurbished lamps, tables, chairs and oddities, many of which has "sold" written on them. Not to worry, however, as they have 20,000 s/f of filled warehouse space in addition to what you see above....
Started in 2000 by Irish cabinet/furniture makers experienced in "old world" craftsmanship, Get Back Inc is all about finding great vintage pieces and transforming them back into fully functional furniture. They seem to have done their work well and the variety and number they have assembled is remarkable. Our favorites are the immense drafting tables and the fully articulated French lamps.
Prices are not listed or known, but with a slick site like this, don't expect a steal. (Thanks, Carly!)

Holy Smokes. I am in love.
Maxwell, what a wonderful find. This is just amazing, now where could I put that 7 ft. pattern mold?
Wow - I had forgotten about those folks. I bought an excellent condition McCobb Planner Group Desk and chair from them as well as a very rare set of Jens Risom lounge chairs.
But that was like 4 years ago at least. Its a really cool place. The guy that owns the place, from what I recall, is an Irish cabinetmaker. His son had moved back home and was into midcentury and industrial vintage stuff. They scour everywhere for the goodies and due to their location, offer reasonable prices compared to what you'd pay in NYC or Boston.
They used to also sell some of their stuff via eBay, but you have to go to their store to pick up or wait for delivery for whenever they happen to be in the City.
thanks maxwell i will visit the website on a regular basis. i guess from the directions part on their website there isn't a way to visit for non drivers, darn.
It is truly awesome to read these great comments about our shop. I just wanted to offer some more info - 1st, for the non-drivers, if you guys can get the train or bus to Waterbury, CT - I will pick you up and drop you back to the station. 2nd, we are about to launch a price inquiry system on our site, and we also list our prices on the items we have listed on www.getbackinc.1stdibs.com. Feel free to email or call me at email@example.com or 860-274-9991
Yesterday my fiancée and I made the trip out to Oakville, Ct (just outside of Waterbury) to visit Get Back Inc. Amazing! In addition to the great things shown at the website there are several more giant rooms filled with cool stuff that's yet to be refurbished. There are too many great things to mention and besides you've got to see it for yourself. Even the showroom is worth seeing.
We called ahead to make an appointment, which I would definitely recommend. Tim, the owner, showed us around and explained where many of the things came from and the work that goes into refurbishing them. Then he left us to explore! Both he and his son work on site and couldn't be nicer or more helpful. Some pieces are pricey, but there are also more reasonably priced things … and even if you don't buy something its worth the trip. We bought an adjustable height cart and a wooden wheel pattern. Great place, great service. (Tim also gave us directions to a nice lunch spot up the road)
I just visited the store and got a lamp from them! It was an amazing place and I have never met nicer people. I love my lamp. They were beyond nice and it was easy to find. I also made an appointment. I would also say it is VERY much worth the trip! They even went so far as to offer me coffee and carry the lamp out to the car for me because it was really heavy. I love Get Back Inc!
Ooh-hoo-hoo! Eeh-hee-hee!! I needed a good laugh...
Some absolutely amazing, highly coveted items to be found in this store. Obviously they've got a great eye - and sense of humour too - because they've evidently priced things based on the calorie intake of the entire staff that day.
10 x industrial stools = $8500.00....Ahhh-ha-ha-ha!! Too funny! Good luck guys. Suckers are born every day...

I did not expect it to be this loud and lightweight. simple install. I'll probably get the 2 speaker add on for that extra soundRead All Reviews

Installation took about a hour. Made a huge difference in sound system. Sounds great and hits hard.Read All Reviews

Boxes are not predrilled so their not ready to mount out of the box. My biggest problem with these were the poor fitment on my roll cage, and their apparent lack of quality control. They painted straight over every thread in the speaker box for the bolts. So before mounting I got to chase every thread for the bolts that I did get which they shorted me 2 of. Once I started putting them on the cage they were so hard to get on I could barely start one bolt and did an alternating bolt pattern while the box made visible cracks and the plates on the back still don't sit flush. Might be the lack of competition, but these arent worth $200. I never do reviews or complain but I had to warn people about these.Read All Reviews
BRENNAN in TX

Chris in NV
Easy to mount, no instructions necessary, built tough, should last a long time...looks clean!Read All Reviews
William in TX
Bought this stereo system for my rzr 800 s. I had it installed the right way instead of the way the instructions recommend. Ran the wires threw the roll cage. Its a great system for going fast and jamming out. My iphone hooks right up and local radio stations come in fairly well. The only real problem i had was the price. But your really just paying for the waterproof system. And waterproof it is in definitely I used a pressure washer to make sure.Read All Reviews

VIROQUA, Wisconsin (WXOW) -- Eight long years without a winning season, Viroqua appears stuck in the rebuilding process.
But, with a new leader comes new expectations. The Blackhawks plan to keep mainly the same schemes on both offense and defense. Although, first year head coach Rob Heller believes the playbook may develop a few wrinkles as the season progresses.
However, before that happens, Heller said his players need to keep one cliche at the forefront of their minds.
"You've got to do the little things before you can do the big things," said Heller. "You've got to get back to the basics, and I think if we do that, we're young enough with enough experience where we can do some bigger, more advanced scheming things on offense and defense."
Senior TE/LB Michael Severson, "So, we just hope to leave all the kids, like the juniors, sophomores and upcoming freshmen, we hope to leave them going the right direction, going up."
Viroqua opens the season at home against Cuba City on August 23rd.

Molycorp Inc. (MCP, $8.08, -$0.75, -8.52%) said it will offer up to $200 million in stock and $100 million in debt as the company looks to fund expenditures at its Mountain Pass, Calif., rare-earth manufacturing complex. It also warned that estimated average selling prices for rare metals and other materials have slumped sequentially.
Biopharmaceutical firm Myrexis Inc. (MYRX, $2.91, +$0.13, +4.68%) canceled a Wednesday shareholder meeting aimed at seeking approval for its dissolution and instead will continue to pursue options. The company also named a new chief executive and said all of its remaining board members resigned.
NumereX Corp.'s (NMRX, $11.75, -$1.86, -13.67%) offer of 2.3 million shares priced at a 17% discount to Tuesday's close. The company had 15.6 million shares outstanding as of Nov. 5.
OCZ Technology Group Inc. (OCZ, $2.02, +$0.11, +5.68%) said an audit committee's investigation of the company's restatements of financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 and for fiscal 2012 have been completed.
Praxair Inc.'s (PX, $111.07, -$2.95, -2.59%) fourth-quarter income edged down 1.4%, as the maker of industrial gases recorded flat sales driven by weaknesses in Europe and South America.
Quest Diagnostics Inc.'s (DGX, $58.30, -$3.53, -5.71%) fourth-quarter earnings fell 71% as fewer requests for diagnostic information services contributed to a steeper-than-expected revenue decline. Shares of fellow lab-testing firm Laboratory Corp. of America (LH, $87.85, -$2.45, -2.71%) were also trading lower after the report.
Rock-Tenn Co.'s (RKT, $80.78, +$6.72, +9.07%) fiscal first-quarter profit rose 13% as the paper-and-packaging company grew revenue in its largest corrugated-packaging segment.
Investors have long speculated grocery-store operator Safeway Inc. (SWY, $19.97, +$1.13, +6.00%) could sell its Canadian division. While that is still unclear, Canadian grocery-store operators appear to be readying for that prospect, BMO notes. The firm believes it would make sense for Safeway to sell its Canadian business given the possibility of a bidding war as a result of "significant interest" in the asset. A Safeway representative couldn't immediately be reached for comment.
Senior Housing Properties Trust's (SNH, $23.93, -$0.73, -2.96%) upsized offering of 10 million shares priced at a 3.5% discount to Tuesday's close. The offering, which was increased from eight million shares, will be used to repay the real-estate investment trust's debt and for general business purposes, including acquisitions.
Security-software company Symantec Corp. (SYMC, $21.30, +$0.44, +2.09%) posted surprise earnings growth and higher-than-anticipated revenue in its fiscal third quarter, sending shares to a new four and 1/2 year high.
Morgan Stanley and Bernstein downgraded their views of Synovus Financial Corp. (SNV, $2.55, -$0.11, -4.14%) despite the financial-services company reporting a surging fourth-quarter profit on asset sales and allowance recapture. Bernstein said the company's earnings power doesn't justify sticking with the stock, while Morgan Stanley said its per-share earnings for the year is expected to "remain on somewhat of a treadmill."
STR Holdings Inc. (STRI, $2.34, -$0.76, -24.52%) said it expects that its largest customer, First Solar Inc. (FSLR, $31.47, -$0.11, -0.35%), will end its relationship with the maker of solar components during the first quarter.
Super Micro Computer Inc. (SMCI, $12.16, +$1.64, +15.59%) reported fiscal second-quarter results well above Wall Street estimates, driven by strong demand for its rackmount server and storage products. The company also topped expectations with its forecast for the quarter ahead.
Tecumseh Products Co. (TECUA, $7.70, +$0.64, +9.07%) (TECUB, $7.85, +$0.72, +10.10%) said it has been exploring options for several months, including a possible sale of the company, while also denying talk that it received an offer valued at nearly $150 million. The maker of compressors for air conditioners, refrigerators and freezers said that it hasn't received a rumored offer of $8 a share.
Volterra Semiconductor Corp. (VLTR, $15.05, -$1.72, -10.26%) reported a fourth-quarter profit that edged ahead of its own forecast, but drew concern with a plan to move away from notebooks and more towards areas like cloud computing. "While expectations were relatively low heading into the call, we believe shares could see some pressure Wednesday given the shift in strategy, which could create a sustained top-line headwind," Oppenheimer analysts said.

Pediatrician Gripe: Using Junk Food as a Reward
What your pediatrician doesn't want to hear
The Offending Statement
"If you behave, I'll take you to Dunkin' Donuts."
Going to the doctor's office isn't exactly a delight for your kid, and sometimes she may need a little incentive to persuade her to come in. So what's wrong with promising a sweet treat?
Why We Don't Want to Hear It
Have we learned nothing from the pediatric obesity epidemic? Offering food as a reward or using it as a disciplining tool is a bad idea. Let's face it: Our kids are in trouble. About 15 percent of American children are obese, which means their weight is dramatically and dangerously disproportionate to their height. Obesity is no minor matter; the increased risks of diabetes and hyperlipidemia are very real for the overweight. In fact, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recently recommended screening selected 2-year-olds for high cholesterol. Yikes!
Using treats to motivate kids sets them up for a lifetime of bad eating habits and raises the risk of having children that slip into the danger zone.
What You Should Say
Consider using some creative, non-food prizes to reward good behavior. Offer special time together; try extra reading at bedtime, a date alone with Mommy, or a trip to the book store or library. Maybe bonus playtime outside or a trip to the park? Build good habits by providing children with constructive rewards that they will appreciate.
Also, don't forget that young children live to please their parents. Sometimes a simple "I'm so proud of you!" goes a long way. Try to catch your child doing something good. Every parent intends to bestow praise on their kids, but none of us does it nearly enough. Remember, treats and sweets only promote poor eating choices. Talk to your doctor about your child's weight and how you can promote healthy eating habits.
Helping Parents Deal
It may seem difficult to break this habit and change your behavior because junk food is a quick, inexpensive, and often effective method for getting kids to behave, but there are other—healthier!—ways to inspire your children (or just keep 'em in line).
Using sweets as a reward at home, at school, and at the doctor's office is part of the reason we are seeing an epidemic of overweight American children. Few families are immune—even I've been there: Out of the blue, my oldest child zipped right up into the obese zone of his growth curve. My wife and I were dumbfounded; how could this have happened? Once we started the self-examination process it became evident. We were offering an M&M for using the potty, stopping at Dairy Queen to reward sharing with a sibling, throwing a doughnut party at preschool that the class "earned." We were totally focused on junk food. Are you in the same boat?
Also, a trip to Dunkin' Donuts often is not just a reward for little Ashley, it means a French Vanilla Latte for Mommy or Daddy, too. Are you enticing your kids with sweets partly an excuse to quench your cravings?
It takes but a quick scan of the nutritional value of a doughnut to see why it should be erased as a food stop for your children—and for you. There is no better reason than your child's health to take a good look at your own eating habits and how they are affecting your kids.

Evoking the legacy of Ronald Reagan, potential presidential candidate Fred Thompson told fellow Republicans that smaller government and lower taxes are the way to a prosperous future.
The former Tennessee senator and "Law & Order" star spoke for about 35 minutes Friday night to the Lincoln Club of Orange County, sketching a broad agenda that hewed to Reaganesque themes — a strong military, a limited federal government and robust free markets.
Thompson also warned that people in the United States must be prepared to sacrifice in a world threatened by terrorism and hostile governments.
"Every generation has made sure that it did its part to make sure that it did endure, with the sacrifices they made. And now it's our turn," Thompson said.
Thompson did not directly mention the 2008 White House race during his remarks, which came a day after the first televised debate among 10 rivals for the party nomination.
Like the leading Republican contenders, Thompson argued against leaving Iraq unless stability is restored. He noted that even when the U.S. leaves Iraq, the world still will be full of danger.
"We've inherited a world that is watching the attempted marriage between radical Islamic fundamentalism and nuclear technology," Thompson said.
Recent polls show that many Republicans are uneasy with the emerging field, and Thompson is being watched for signs he might run by "people who do not see Reagan in the current crop of candidates," former state party chairman Duf Sundheim said.
Claremont McKenna College political scientist John Pitney said Thompson's entry into the race could help energize Republicans — particularly conservatives uneasy with the candidates. Polls have suggested he would be a competitive candidate.
"Two things excite people — passion for an issue and the prospect of winning. Both of those things seem to be absent from the current field," Pitney said.

6 Responses to "Thompson tries to sound Reganesque"
When I first met Ronald Reagan in 1964 he was pro-choice all the way and wanted individual freedoms for everyone. In his second term he turn pro-life to the shock of the GOP. Will Thompson be the same way?
I'm tired of two-faced Conservatives and may have to continue to vote LP from now on. Can I trust the Democrats? I need serious help here.
I surely hope Americans haven't become so "chicken-headed" that they believe because Thompson stars on a show named "Law and Order" that it represents some deep reflection of his personal values. I advise people to do some serious research looking for "the good, the bad, and the ugly" concerning this candidate. I'm personally tired of looking at old, haggard, worn-out, possibly ill, white men running for office. Hey, Obama's running, how about a wealthy Chinese, Japanese, Hispanic, or Native American to come forward and run. I'm convinced with the bunch that's currently running, that we could do far better by simply standing on a streetcorner anywhere USA and simply saying "hey you…! you wanna run for President?!"… :)) Maybe it's time via the www, Americans come up with a consensus for a solid "write-in" candidate then on election day at the booths or via our mail-in ballot we simply write-in their name and voila we have selected who "we the people" want and not who the NWO/MIC/AIPAC crowd has pre-selected for us. It's called an "end run" folks. I think it's an idea who's time has come. Screw them and their white-bread, canned conventions that facilitates "their" selection process…!

We don't need another actor to "play" the role of POTUS. I was in high school for the first term of Mr. Regan and in college for his second term. Eight years of Ronald Regan was pretty gross.
* Record deficits
* High interest rates
* Secret deals: Hostages in Iran, Iran-Contra
* Meddling Government: Abortion, Gay Rights
No thank you. I not interested in another "conservative actor" for President. I'm surprised Clint Eastwood isn't running.
Something ironic however. You know how conservatives are always labeling Hollywood "librul"? Well look at Ronald Reagan – he was from Hollywood! And, now, Fred Thompson!
Ah, Reagan's sins well-enumerated! Thanks Rick Fuller for laying out a public list. Btw we can add "union-busting" too. Gee, if I recall Reagan was once head of the Actors Guild?! Hmmm…I guess he was nothing but a 5th columnist even in his acting days waiting for an opportunity to show his true colors with the Air Traffic Controllers Union strike concerning his real sentiments about unions and unionizing… :)) Thanks for your spot-on post…Carl Nemo
Bush is not that far out of step with Ronald Reagan's idiotic conservatism. There is a good case to be made that Bush has taken Ronald Reagan's vision to its logical extreme, including the war in Iraq. (Remember that in 1983, Reagan invaded Grenada. It was a fiasco, too. It was totally unnecessary. In fact, Reagan had invaded part of the United Kingdom!)
- Despite all of his rhetoric, Reagan shied away from the libertarian views of government; that government should be less. Like most conservatives, including Bush, when he felt that he had attained the lofty, almost God like position of moral certitude, Reagan was not adverse to using government to push his ideological agenda, which is exactly what Bush is doing. One notable example, Bush's uses the DOJ to further his extremist conservative ideology.
- With regard to the economy Reagan's simplistic view of it produced massive deficits. He couldn't comprehend that the tax cut program had a direct relationship to tax revenues. Bush's economy is no different. Both give ear to supply-side economics. This theory states that if people have more after taxes they will spend more. Supply-side economics has never been proven. It is just an assertion. In fact, the evidence would indicate otherwise, viz., that the more people have after taxes the more they tend to invest, rather than spend. Conservatism is a dead dog.
On TV: I've all but given up on the tube these days, with the drivel and the media hype. In its place, I've opted for Film Noir and other old movies on DVD. That, and the fact that we've now been "Law and Ordered" to death with countless different mutations of it, I haven't the slightest idea who Fred Thompson is. I don't watch TV much anymore.
Therefore, Thompson wouldn't get my vote for anything. Being an actor does not step up his qualifications at all, whether he plays a district attorney or Clowny on the Bozo Show, or some such idiocy.
I'm sure there are people out there who more or less believe he's actually what his character portrays, and that's what gets us into trouble.
Hell, I've always liked Sam Watterston in Law and Order, as an actor, but when he endorses an investment firm, I'm not going to let his charisma as a lawyer "character" sway me to invest with the advertiser.
Wake up, America! Wipe away the glitter; it's just a bright and shiny smokescreen, complete with silver and gold flecks!

Charlotte, N.C. (WJZY) -- A neighborhood known for its problems with crime is turning over a new leaf.
"In the past, it was filled with drug users, a bunch of crime. Now, we've gotten rid of most of its crime. It's on its way to more positive than negative. The neighborhood is helping have an impact with that," said Richard Reese, an officer with the Charlotte Mecklenburg Police Department. Richard has patrolled the streets here for 15 years.
Villa Heights is kicking off its first community garden, planting fruits and vegetables for a more fruitful future.
"We have a lot of families who have moved to the neighborhood, a lot of families who have been here for a long time. To bring everyone together is really important. To show we're not at odds, but working together for the good of the community," said Jill Vande Woude, a member of the Villa Heights Community Board.
A big part of the future she speaks of: the kids.
"I planted eggplants inside the garden. I like having good things to do instead of negative things," said 13 year old Azontie Cooper.
"It's a great summer activity for the kids. It also shows them responsibility. We can teach the kids a lot through gardening. Seeing their efforts go full circle, being involved in something that's bigger than them," said Jill, member of the board.
The neighborhood received a grant from the city for the garden, one more effort to transform it into a thriving community.
"A lot of new families have been moving to the area, a lot of younger families. I think that we really want to make this park a lifeline. With the Blue Line coming in, all the new developments coming to NODA, we want to expand this area to become better and better. We want people to get a community sense from Cordelia Park," said Jill.
Signs of a new beginning, one gardener at a time.
If you're interested in getting involved with the community garden, visit Cordelia Park on May 3rd starting at 9:00AM. The community will be meeting to plant more seeds.

Respect our president
Respect our president
I hope Robert Olson has his facts straight about our "lying scumbag" President Obama.
His goal was to make us all hate our president. I believe the surest way to injure your own character is to attack another, which is what he has done, as far as I am concerned.
Also, his thought of swearing would have been bleeped and it would not have made him look smarter.
How about some prayers and respect for our president?

Layton • In the battle over the future West Layton Village, residents seem to agree on only one thing: The 107-acre parcel will be developed eventually. But on every other point, they're split.
Supporters of a new Village Center zoning district see a dream community of single-family homes, apartments, stores, offices, trails and parks.
Opponents say that kind of development would be too dense because of the hundreds of apartments that could be included. They fear an urban nightmare of crime, pollution, traffic jams, overburdened schools, the loss of family farms and the end of the area's rural feel.
"It'll be a huge mess," said Brian Pead, who helped form Citizens for Responsible Growth in West Layton to fight the project.
He added that the group isn't against renters and doesn't oppose the development of west Layton — but just wants a say in what's built there.
Citizens for Responsible Growth gathered enough signatures on a referendum petition to place two measures, titled Proposition 2 and Proposition 3, on the Nov. 6 general election ballot. Voters will cast ballots for or against the Layton City Council's adoption in April of a Village Center zoning district and a Village Center plan code that allows for a mix of uses.
Layton officials are standing firmly behind the Village Center idea. They say development is inevitable and the new zoning "is the best method to provide for the development of a quality, mixed-use walkable neighborhood" that will provide a variety of housing options for families, single people and empty nesters.
Councilman Michael Bouwhuis said apartments are part of a "menu" of options for a Village Center and that developers would not be required to include them.
The property at the center of the dispute is agricultural land along West Hill Field Road between 2200 West and 2700 West. That parcel is owned by Property Reserve Inc. (PRI), a subsidiary of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which has been operating a welfare farm there. PRI, which participated in the development of the Village Center zone, will not be the developer of the property.
Plans call for another 31 acres north of the parcel to be zoned into the Village Center district eventually. That property, which is owned by Terraventure, is currently zoned for commercial and professional business use.
The property south of the PRI land is owned by the Day family, who have farmed there for generations and worry about the impact of the West Layton Village.
"Why do they want to pack them in," VeAnne Day asked. "Why do they want to urbanize Layton?"
Her husband, David Day, said as the amount of farmland shrinks, it becomes more expensive to maintain the water system shared by the remaining farms in the area. More roads and more people, with the accompanying vandalism and complaints about dust and spraying, also are not conducive to farming, he said.
The Days emphasized that they just want a fair vote and will respect the position of the community either way.
The campaign has been heating up as the election approaches. Dueling websites — www.westlaytonvillage.org for the proponents and www.westlaytonvillage.info and voteagainst2and3.com for the opponents — lay out the arguments and argue over the details.
Some opponents claim the city is using the LDS Church name in a voter information pamphlet to advocate for the project. The arguments for Propositions 2 and 3 written by the city each say twice that the property with the Village Center zoning is owned by PRI, a subsidiary of the church — which the opponents contend implies which side voters should take on the issue.
Layton Mayor Steve Curtis said the city is just being transparent by stating who owns the land, as it would with any other property owner.
"It's not trying to influence anyone," he said.
Michael Purdy, an LDS Church spokesman, said that the church does not have a position on how people should vote on the issue.
Opponents also claim that the city hasn't listened to them or given them a voice in the process. City officials counter that they held 21 public meetings and made 16 major changes to the Village Center code based on citizen comments.
The tension between the two sides was evident at an informational meeting last week sponsored by the City Council at Layton High School. Leaders of Citizens for Responsible Growth declined to join the council members in answering questions from a crowd of a few hundred people. Instead, they invited those in attendance — both opponents and supporters — to leave and gather across the street at Layton Commons Park to discuss the issues. About 30 people followed.
Pead said the forum wasn't neutral because the bulk of the information presented was in support of the project.
"The people who came out mentioned that they were glad we were trying to get a voice in city government and not be ignored," he said.
But others believe they are heard. Speaking for Residents for West Layton Village, Chad Harward said at last week's meeting that the new zoning district will provide more options for residents, including those who are downsizing and want to stay in the community.
"This vote is a simple choice," Harward said. "You are either OK with current development styles of box commercial surrounding neighborhoods or you would like to try something new with smaller commercial in the center surrounded by a variety of housing options, kind of like a town-square model that is called Village Center Code."
firstname.lastname@example.com: @PamelaMansonSLC
What's next
Layton residents will cast ballots in the Nov. 6 general election on whether to uphold or overturn two decisions by the City Council that created a Village Center zone at 2200 West and Hill Field Road. For more information on both sides of the issue, visit the Layton city website at www.westlaytonvillage.org/ and the Citizens for Responsible Growth in West Layton's websites at www.westlaytonvillage.info and voteagainst2and3.com.

Spoiler warnings for Prometheus!
So I saw Prometheus twice last week, and as a film it's fine but bits of it really rankled me. Some things just dont make sense, especially since the whole Prometheus mission is supposed to be a scientific one. I think Cory Doctorow (yes, I've a huge hard on for Doctorow, get over it) got it right when he said:
science fiction films are visually consistent, not logically consistent (the opposite of science fiction novels, which is why I'm a pain in the ass to take to sf movies)
(It's totes worth reading the review of Prometheus Mr. Doctorow is referring to as well.)
What I didn't realise though, is that everything entirely makes sense IF you understand the internal workings of the Weyland corporation. I've managed to get hold of this Weyland email which illustrates exactly why all that dumb stuff that happens in the movie actually makes perfect sense…
From: [Corporate Services] email@example.com
To: [Scientific Division Managment {SCIMAN-LIST}] email@example.com
Subject: URGENT: Updated Guidelines for Mission Planning
Date: 08/03/2088 10:37:15
It has come to our attention that some staff are failing to correctly implement company-wide Best Practice procedures when planning new interplanetary scientific projects. Please take 5 minutes to familiarise yourself with the following updated considerations from the new Scientific Interplanetary Investigative Venture Management Guidelines [rev: 3]:
- When assessing the viability of an interplanetary scientific mission, it's perfectly fine to accept 'because we think so' as
- Unmanned preliminary missions are for losers; rubes are cheap
- Quarantine is optional, flamethrowers are cheaper and much quicker
- Always hire a captain that is indifferent to the mission. The longer he's working the more expensive it is!
- Don't let the crew meet before locking them up together for several years, things may be boring for them otherwise
- When picking a scientific team, make sure their UTPTWTF (urge to poke things with their fingers) rating is very high, they'll never get anything done otherwise!
- The buddy system is pointless, NEVER use it. The same goes for headcounts
- Make sure women make up less than 25% of the crew
- Encourage your employees to remove their helmets at every opportunity. Recharging those oxygen tanks is expensive
- Always have plenty of quality classic black & white movies for your android. Abbot and Costello come highly reccomended
- If you must leave staff in a creepy alien building overnight, make sure you do not record or monitor them, they need their privacy too!
- If providing a high quality, expensive medical suite; make sure it only works for men. Always keep it stocked with plenty of staples
- Do NOT tell your prospective crew anything about the mission before they head off. If partners of your crew need to know where they're going for several years, a shrug or dunno is standard practice
- If you are sending a high-level manager on the mission, make sure they have no interpersonal skills and no management oversight; also make sure they cannot run sideways. This is a choice position for that board member you never got on with
- Don't bother providing any prohylactics for the crew, they'll probably crash or get eaten anyway so why worry?
- Make sure your android is as creepy as possible, and make sure to install the english accent pack
- The ship's lifeboat need only travel 50 meters without crashing, any further is considered a bonus
We feel these procedures will produce many more profitable avenues for WEYLAND to explore. For further information I suggest thoroughly reviewing the Strategic Management Update Guidelines – General Information [rev: 7] (SMUG-GI7) umbrella documentation.
Thank you for your time.

Three Chinese students, Tzu (James Chen), Wa (Keong Sim) and Chen (Leonardo Nam) come to study in America in the summer of 1980. They move into a New York City apartment next door to Dexter (Ryan O'Nan), a graduate student who introduces them to Suzanne (Gillian Jacobs), his occasional girlfriend and to Billy (Michael Esper), a struggling filmmaker. The Chinese find America fascinating. However, their perceptions, based on watching non-stop television, change when one of them is brutally mugged, when Suzanne takes up with Chen behind Dexter's back, and when Zap (Peter Scanavino), Suzanne's ex boyfriend, stalks them into a state of terror. When on December 8, 1980 John Lennon is murdered, the Chinese students decide to buy a gun for self-defense.

When Tzu (James Chen), Wa (Keong Sim) and Chen (Leonardo Nam) come to New York City in the summer of 1980 to study, they find themselves in a strange land far, far away from life in communist China. Consuming a heavy daily diet of American T.V., they are captivated by the cacophonous culture surrounding them. They make friends with their next-door neighbor Dexter (Ryan O Nan), his sometimes girlfriend Suzanne (Gillian Jacobs) and the struggling filmmaker Billy (Michael Esper). They party. One falls dangerously in love. But a brutal mugging and an ex-boyfriend s crazed jealousy plunge them into a state of cultural confusion and fear. When, on December 8, 1980, John Lennon is murdered, the trio fatefully confronts the social violence that surrounds them.

Working Together for a Better Fourth Avenue
Forth on Fourth Avenue arose from the Civic Council's 2010 public forum on the thoroughfare's future and a walking tour eight months later. A full-fledged Civic Council committee as of February 2012, FOFA provides an active forum and voice for people who live, work, and make use of the stretch of Fourth Avenue between Flatbush and the Prospect Expressway. Our goal is to help a safe, multiuse, clean and green streetscape for the diverse users of Fourth Avenue. (Read our full mission statement here.)
FOFA's current projects include:
- Supporting the St. Marks Block Association's efforts to block a proposed drive-thru at the McDonald's being planned on Fourth Avenue and Warren Street (on the former site of a Kentucky Fried Chicken), and making sure that the lot is kept clean and safe prior to construction.
- Participating in the Civic Council's Spring Civic Sweep, with emphasis on Fourth Avenue. [LINK]
- Developing a way to recognize Fourth Avenue's commercial establishments that are "good neighbors" — i.e., sponsoring clean-ups, "adopting" or planting a tree, using window boxes, etc.
- Piloting a project between Bergen and Degraw Streets to focus on street greening. The project would involve support from block associations, condos, local organizations, and merchants.
- Representing local interests in the various boroughwide committees that have been established by the Borough President's office, and offering our input on the development and improvement of Fourth Avenue.
Meetings take place the second Tuesday of every month, 7:45 a.m., at the Fifth Avenue Committee office, 621 Degraw St. near Fourth Avenue.

I don't understand the difference either...I just know that i hate the one I have. I've checked out the 2nd stage one and was going to purchase one this weekend. Could you tell me what department store you got yours from? Thats what i want...one with no zippers! Was it expensive?
- Reply
I still don't understand what the difference is between stages in garments. My MD didn't say anthing about this. In fact he said many of the garments ordered from high-end companies are no better than those bought at nice department stores - where I got mine. Mine has no zippers and is completely elastic. It's making me very smooth and I'm 8 days out. What's the deal with this 2nd stage stuff? I have looked for explanations and they are vague.
- Reply
Cool thanks!! I think im goin to have to get me one of those 2nd garments sounds great..Im tired of the one i have just so got sick of wearing but i do for a few hours. So i will look into that!!
- Reply
a 2nd stage garment is worn about 2-3 weeks after your procedure. this type of garment doesn't have the zippers like the 1st stage. it allows for compression and support and helps with skin retraction and i do absolutely believe it's working. i went from a large in the 1st stage and downsized to a medium for the second stage...both my garments are made by design veronique and i ordered it through my doctor's office as it is less expensive through them. because i had my flanks, upper and lower abdomen and inner and outer thighs, i had a body suit type of garment that stopped at mid-thigh. the 2nd stage garment i ordered was even longer, mid-calf (which is probably what i should have been given in the first place..). anyways, i have been wearing it 24/7 except for in the shower of course; i've maybe taken it off during the night (while i slept) only about once or twice. i realize the importance of the garment and how it plays a huge role in contouring the body - so i plan to use my garments for up to a year even. i wore my 1st stage garment for about 3 weeks and it was a RELIEF to get into the 2nd stage garment. my torso is short so the zippers were molding into my sides which also caused lumps and bumps; it also caused some discomfort - but i will say after putting the 2nd stage garment i have no pain to complain about. hope this helps!!
- Reply
thank you very much. However you said you were in your second stage garment..is that a different garment they gave you or is that something you bought yourself. And how long did you wear your garment?
- Reply
just hang in there - i had the procedure done june 22 and felt the same sensation you do. on this date 7/28, my upper abdomen isn't nearly as hard as it was and this really didn't start to subside until just maybe last week. my second stage garment has made a huge difference with the knots and lumps and perhaps that was due to the zippers "molding" into my sides...overall expect to feel the numbing, lumping and stiffness for about a good 2 months as stated by a friend who had the procedure done herself...i could always be wrong but i'll give myself the two months or so...hope this helps =)

I live in a somewhat small town so I tend to see the same vehicles when I'm out driving around. There was a car that caught my eye one day. The guy driving looked to be in his early 20s and had his "I'm such a tough guy" music playing.
He pulls ahead of me in the next lane and his back window says . . . "Nor Cal Princess."
The indentation in the middle of the area between the nose and the upper lip has a name. It is called the philtrum. Scientists have yet to figure out what purpose this indentation serves.

My friend had tickets to for us to see the Friends With Benefits premier starring Mila Kunis and hottie Justin Timberlake. The night (which was to be a relaxed evening out for just us girls), as well as the movie, ended up having us laughing all night.
Angela arrives at my house and then we get into my car so that I can drive us downtown. On our way there I grab a Chapstick (cherry flavor, if you care) from the armrest of my door. I'm a Chapstick addict and I've become quite adept at removing the cap, applying the Chaptick, and then recapping it with only one hand. Anyway, I remove the cap with my left hand (I'm so good at this that I can do this with my left hand even though I am right handed) and the Chapstick, which had melted in the summer heat, spilled out of the container and all over my jean shorts. I had to pull over and I was able to remove the wax from my shorts and because they were denim, it was difficult to see any remnants of the wax so we continued on our merry way to the theater.
We finally arrive and we are standing in line waiting for them to allow us into the theater. This is when the hired security guys tell everyone that we either have to leave our cell phones in our car or else they will provide us with bags and ticket numbers in order to retrieve them after the movie.
This was a new thing for me. Although I understand that they don't want people recording or taking pictures of the movie, I was not happy that I wouldn't have my phone on me. I have children and I prefer that I'm always accessible to them. But, I'm a compliant person so I run my and Angela's phones to my car.
Upon my return they began to allow us into the theater. We go up the stairs and this is when we see that they are doing a search with the metal detector wands. This is when Angela and I start to panic a little. Not because we had weapons on us, but because we couldn't tell if they were searching purses.
Ummm… I'll just add here that we did not have sodas and candy hidden in my purse that we had not purchased at Target prior to arriving instead of at the theater.
It is finally our turn to be searched and… whew! They did not search my bag, if they had, it would have been ok because I was not carrying foods purchased from outside the theater.
We sit down and, totally out of habit, I reached into my purse to get my phone because I was going to check-in to Facebook and tag Angela. Ugh!!
So, now Angela and I started talking! Yea, real talking! Not texting or Facebooking! At one point during our conversation I tried to look at my phone again so that I could look at the calendar. Ugh, again!!
There were a couple of ladies sitting in front of us that were wondering what time it was and were commenting on the fact that since they didn't have their phones they were at a loss as to the time. How many of us still wear watches?
This experience kind of made me more aware of how reliant I am on my phone for all kinds of things. It is one of my social outlets, calendar, address book, access to the internet, watch, to-do list, dictionary and thesaurus, camera, gaming system, notepad, and oh yea, it is also my phone!
Is this a bad thing or a good thing?
I think it's both. I have everything I need in one compact source, my iPhone. However, this has also made me less apt to try to remember things. Waaaayyyy back when, a loooooong time ago, before cell phones and **gasp** before cordless phones even, we actually had to remember people's phone numbers! A lot of people maintained phone books, but because we had to actually dial each number of all seven, we tended to memorize phone numbers, and all kinds of other information. I know right! Kind of an amazing ability isn't it. ;)
I do think that that the advancement of technology has made us all smarter, and dumber.
I like it! It creates a haunting effect.
So, I was able to obtain the first season of Fringe for only $19.00 (thanks to a sale and an amazing app on my iPhone), and the second season for only $22.00, both from Barnes and Noble. Season three comes out real soon and I cannot wait to get it because I missed the entire season. :(
Yea I know, no amazingly profound thoughts in this posting. lol I'm just a Fringe geek, that's all.
English is the rebel subject of all subjects; it breaks its own rules.
Hmm… I found it ironic that root beer floats would be served at a meeting for diabetic children. I will admit that I'm not fully aware of the dietary requirements for this type of thing, but it still struck me funny when I read it. What do you think?
This clip is from the Appeal-Democrat. Unfortunately, I have forgotten which day and section, etc.
Ok, so like today at the college, I saw a younger guy wearing jeans that were cut off above the knee.
So, guys, seriously now, is this a new style for you?
I must admit that I'd prefer to see a guy wearing cut off shorts above the knee rather than sagging so badly that your butt is hanging out and you have to walk weird because you are trying to keep your pants up. That sagging look has got to go … like now, please!!
Alrighty, I'm just about ready to start posting again, probably starting up again next week. It's been a very hectic couple of weeks. Thank you all for hanging in there with me! :)
My 7 year old daughter wakes up this morning and says "Mommy, I had a dream that you and grandma had a coupon for 20% off of gas."
Now that's a great dream! :)
I just wanted to take a minute to let all of my readers know that I am having to deal with a few things. I will post if I can, but I'm thinking I may not be able to post anything for a week, maybe two. But, I promise that I will be back with more crazy silly life stuff. :)
"Laverne's favorite drink was milk and Pepsi." Courtesy imdb.com
Being that I've watched many, many episodes of this show, this is something that I knew already. However, this is a drink mix that I have never tried. But, if you think about it, it's not really any different than ice cream in soda. I didn't say root beer float because when I worked as a waitress many years ago, I had several customers order a Pepsi Float.
When I was a little girl, my mom was taking me to school and then she was going to go to work. Well, she was drinking her coffee while driving (this was before travel mugs), and suddenly spilled it on herself when she hit a bump in the road. It was hot, of course, and she was asking me to get her some napkins.
I opened the glove compartment, saw the napkins, reached in while I turned my head and looked back at my mom and handed her . . . a straw.
She laughed and said "What am I supposed to do with this, suck myself dry?"
Ah, yes, this would prove to be a rather typical experience when I'm involved. ;)
Look at my tiles. I did NOT rearrange them, they landed that way. lol
My boyfriend found this rock that is shaped like the Star Trek symbol.

On yet another of my famous trips to Target, I was eating lunch with the kids and saw this! Yea, that's safe!
Unfortunately, what you do not have the privy of knowing because there is no sound, is this kid is telling his mom what to do with the Icee machine!
He's saying "Spin it, spin it, spin it." But, not in a cute way, he was ordering her to spin the dang cup!
To top it off, there was myself and another lady waiting for her to move so that we could fill our drink cups. She was taking forever and would not move her cart out of the way. UGH!!!
Where in the world has mutual respect and common decency gone to? And, what happened to parents who aren't afraid of being . . . wait for it . . . wait for it . . . PARENTS!! The parent tells the child what to do; the child does NOT tell the parent what to do!
Ok, I'm done ranting. Thanks for being here for me. ;)
Parents, this is not ok!!
Target was having a promotion in which you would get either the first aid box in the picture below or a first aid bag if you purchase at least three products, such as: Band-Aids, Neosporin, etc. I let my daughter choose and she chose the box. I had also told her that she could fill it, so I gave her the new medicine and Band-Aids;. She comes back to me and asks for treats to put into the box. I told her that the only thing I had were cinnamon candies, so she took those.
I was wondering where she'd come up with the great idea to put treats into the first aid kit, then I noticed that the box says "Clean, Treat, Protect."
haha She thought treat was the candy kind! I explained to her what it meant, but also told her that it was a great idea to put the candies in there and they could stay.
Awhile back my work started selling Revere Ware place settings. A lady comes in and asked me if they were real Revere Ware. I said "why yes Paul brought them over himself.

St. Louis, MO (Sports Network) - St. Louis Rams wide receiver Danny Amendola left Sunday's contest against the New York Jets with a foot injury.
In the second quarter, Amendola twisted his foot awkwardly and hobbled off the field. He was seen walking to the locker room and his return to the game is questionable.
Amendola, who returned to action last week after missing three games with a collarbone injury, recorded four catches for 16 yards against the Jets before exiting.

At night, they're all having the same dream--of the same man, wearing a tattered red and green striped sweater, a beaten fedora half-concealing a disfigured face and a gardener's glove with knives for fingers. And they're all hearing the same frightening voice...
One by one, he terrorizes them within the curved walls of their dreams, where the rules are his, and the only way out is to wake up.
But when one of their number dies a violent death, they soon realize that what happens in their dreams happens for real, and the only way to stay alive is to stay awake. Turning to each other, the four surviving friends try to uncover how they became part of this dark fairytale, hunted by this dark man. Functioning on little to no sleep, they struggle to understand why them, why now, and what their parents aren't telling them.
Buried in their past is a debt that has just come due, and to save themselves, they will have to plunge themselves into the mind of the most twisted nightmare of all... Freddy Krueger.

Robert Shaw (May 22, 1921 – April 10, 2011) was an American football tight end in the National Football League.
Shaw lettered three times each in football, basketball and track at Fremont Ross High School. He was first team All-Ohio in both football and basketball and won the shot put and discus in the state track and field meet. At Ohio State University, he lettered twice in football. Playing right end, on both offense and defense, Shaw was part of the Buckeyes' first NCAA National Championship team in 1942 and was named a first-team All American for that season. He also lettered in basketball and track, helping the Buckeyes to their first Western Conference track crown in 1942. Shaw was inducted into Ohio State University Athletic Hall of Fame in 1996.
He served with the 104th Infantry Division, and was awarded a Bronze Star. He later completed his bachelor's degree in education at Otterbein College.
His National Football League career began in 1945 when he joined the Cleveland Rams. The Rams won the Championship in his rookie year. In the off-season, he played for the Toledo Jeeps of the National Basketball League.
He played for the Cleveland/Los Angeles Rams (1945–1949) and the Chicago Cardinals (1950). He was the NFL leader in receiving touchdowns with 12 in 1950 and was the first player to catch five touchdowns in a game[citation needed]. He played two seasons for the Calgary Stampeders, winning the Dave Dryburgh Memorial Trophy in 1951 and 1952.
After his retirement, Shaw served as an assistant coach with the Baltimore Colts, and San Francisco 49ers before becoming head coach of the New Mexico Military Institute in 1960. In three seasons at NMMI, Shaw had a 22–6–1 record.[1] He later moved to the Canadian Football League where he coached the Saskatchewan Roughriders to a 16–14–2 record over two seasons and the Toronto Argonauts to an 8–20 record from 1965 to 1966. In 1976 he won the Annis Stukus Trophy (coach of the year) while with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
Shaw died April 10, 2011 at his home in Westerville, Ohio, after a brief illness at the age of 89. He was predeceased by Mary, his wife of 63 years.
