This even happens at low levels, my hunter got kicked from a group because i kept pulling things the tank didnt pull with my pet, nobody died, healer had plenty of mana, we were going at a good speed, and plus I said i could handle em without heals anyway. It's insane.
Oh yeah and in ST on my mid level healer, a tank had dropped due to lag, and then we got another tank and as soon as he zoned in he pulled 3 groups in the center and complained that I wasn't healing him when i was oom and sleeped. even then he complained that I didnt have my human racial on my action bars for that one situational instance.

Health & Parenting
Kids vs. Vegetables -- Can Parents Prevail?
Most foods are an acquired taste, Baranowski says. "There's a good amount of neophobia, fear of new foods, in the early years. If you provide a variety of foods at different times, and insist they take just one bite, you can overcome that. There's some very nice research that shows that repeated exposure with a bite increases the likelihood that children will like the food over time, even broccoli."
Also, mom and dad need to set a good example by not shunning fruits and vegetables themselves. "Kids are bright. They're going to see the disconnect, the unwritten message that says, this stuff tastes terrible," says Baranowski.
Struggles ensue when parents are authoritarian, demanding that kids eat the green stuff on the dinner plate. "You might get them to eat it then, but when mom or dad aren't around, they won't do it because no one is insisting," says Baranowski.
"No child is going to change behavior to prevent heart attack in 30 years," he says. "Lots of adults won't even do that. Tell kids that it prevents weight gain, that nutrients are good for eyes and hair -- things that are important to kids. You need to identify things that relevant to children and emphasize them."
Among the vegetables kids like best are sweet-tasting carrots and corn; favorite fruits are apples, bananas, and oranges. "Another rising star is kiwi fruit. A fair number of kids say they like it," says Baranowski. "The nice thing about giving kids reasons is that kids tend to internalize the message. You can expect those kids to eat a healthier diet even when mom and dad aren't around."
Vital Information:
- Before age 2, parents should not restrict the amount of fat children eat, but after that, children should get 20-30% of calories from fat and less than 10% from saturated fat.
- Most foods are an acquired taste, so parents should provide a variety of healthy foods and try to get children to try at least one bite.
- Parents should not demand that their children to eat healthy foods but should set a good example and teach them why different nutrients are important for development.

Why won't they just let Nate pee? That's mean. He is adorable and highly under appreciated. And he's short, and I'm short, which just makes me like him even more. Although he's a guy, so he can pee pretty much anywhere. Which I have unfortunately experienced first hand. (never have boy roommates!)

In 2006, Doug "The Rhino" Marshall defeated "The Vanilla Gorilla" Lodune Sincaid to become the second WEC Light Heavyweight champion and would go on to successfully defend the title on two occasions before losing to Brian Stann in March 2008.
Fast forward seven years and Marshall finds himself challenging Alexander "Storm" Shlemenko for the Bellator Middleweight championship, Nov. 22.
Marshall earned the opportunity to challenge for the title after he knocked out Brett "Fudoshin" Cooper to win the Bellator Season Eight Middleweight Tournament back in April. To reach the finals, Marshall defeated Andreas "Sweet Swede" Spång and Sultan Aliev.
The Rhino comes into the match on a four-fight winning streak, having won three of his last four bouts by knockout. That said, fighting the Storm will not be an easy task.
The champion has won 11 consecutive bouts. With 28 knockouts on his record, Shlemenko is perhaps the most dangerous striker in Bellator's middleweight division.
If Marshall is able to defeat Shlemenko and win the middleweight title, he will be in that special club of MMA fighters who captured two separate world championship in two different weight divisions.
Who do you think will win this fight? Answer with a comment below, send a tweet to @alstover or email email@example.com.

(NAFB)--The National Cotton Council of America and its export promotion arm Cotton Council International have joined with Cotton Australia and Cotton Incorporated as founding members of COTTON LEADS. The initiative is aimed at raising awareness of the responsible growing practices among U.S. and Australian cotton producers - who account for roughly 17-percent of global cotton production. CCI Executive Director Kevin Latner says U.S. and Australian cotton users can take confidence in the COTTON LEADS core principles - which are built upon a track record of responsible production practices and a commitment to continuing improvement. Berrye Worsham - Cotton Incorporated President and CEO - says all involved are committed to providing the supply chain with greater volumes of responsibly-grown cotton. He says apparel brands, retailers and manufacturers require large volumes and a reliable supply of responsibly-produced fiber. Through COTTON LEADS - Worsham says they can demonstrate how cotton grown in the U.S. and Australia can help meet these requirements.
The core principles for COTTON LEADS include COMMITMENT to the social, environmental, economic and regulatory factors to produce world-class cotton; RECOGNITION that sustainable and responsible cotton production requires continual improvement, investment, research and sharing of best practices information among growers and industry; UNDERSTANDING that leading change in responsible and sustainable cotton practices will have the most positive impact when implemented in collaboration with farm, regional, national and international programs; BELIEF in the benefit of working cooperatively with similar programs that seek to advance responsible and sustainable cotton production in an effort to keep global cotton competitive in world fiber markets; and CONFIDENCE in a cotton identification system that ensures traceability from farm to manufacturer.

VALPARAISO | One person suffered minor burns Wednesday morning when a debris fire spread to an unoccupied house near U.S. 30.
That person, who was not identified, was treated at the scene by medics.
Fire officials said the home, north of U.S. 30 just east of Axe Avenue, was not occupied. People working on the home were burning debris when the fire spread and caught a building attached to the home on fire.
The fire burned through the roof of the yellow one-story home.
Fire officials said a building attached to the home was damaged, but the house sustained only smoke damage.
The fire prompted the closure of westbound U.S. 30 at Linwood Avenue, about a mile east of the fire.
Fire crews left the scene about 12:20 p.m. and U.S. 30 was reopened about 12:30 p.m.

The sport of basketball has seen the rise and fall of great players who have left indelible marks in the history of the sport. Some of these players are widely recognized for their contribution to their teams and the sporting activity in general. Current basketball players who have a chance to make a name and unforgettable mark in the history of the sporting activity include LeBron James, Kobe Bryant and Roy Hibberts. So are these players worth to be named the best basketball player of all time? Perhaps we are yet to see their full potentials and it might be too all to judge some of these players but to make the long story short, the chances of the current crop of NBA players does not show any signs of producing an all-time best basketball player. Only one name pops up when we talk of the best basketball player of all time; Michael Jordan.
Commonly known as MJ, Michael made a name for himself while playing for the Chicago Bulls. He helped his team in winning NBA championships in his two playing stints at the team. His first stint (1984-1993) at Chicago Bulls saw him win NBA championships and a number of Most Valuable Player awards. He then retired from professional basketball only to come back again in his second stint at the Chicago Bulls. This second stint (1995-1998) saw him increase his most valuable player awards to a record five. This American basketball player was also named 14 times NBA All-Star Player in his NBA playing career. His NBA scoring career points stand at 32,292 with 5,633 assists credit to him. To add up to his awards are 6 NBA finals most valuable player won after his Chicago Bulls team successfully reached the prestigious finals. Michael Jordan also won the 1984 Olympics gold medal for men's basketball with team USA. The 1992 Olympics in Barcelona, Spain saw Michael Jordan bag up his second Olympic gold as team USA emerged victorious in this event.
Michael Jordan is also credit for playing a major role in marketing the NBA in the 80s and 90s. This made the sport famous on a worldwide scope. Michael Jordan was an all-round player in his playing days and was regarded as a good defensive player as he helped the Chicago Bulls win consecutive championships in the 80s and 90s. His name will remain Basketball hall of fame for the coming generation of basketball players and supporters to see his contribution to the sport. Michael Jordan is a living legend, a true basketball icon.

A handy helper with a wallet-friendly price
Don't judge it by its size: The Bayou® 250 ATV is a formidable workhorse. Simple to use and easy to love, this economical ATV combines a durable air-cooled four-stroke single with a five-speed transmission plus reverse, connected to a reliable and quiet shaft drive. Plus, its steel front and rear racks have a combined payload capacity of 110 pounds.
This tough little worker uses an independent A-arm front suspension and a semi-independent multi-link rear suspension. This design equals a smooth, compliant ride without any of the complexity or maintenance required by a fully independent design.
The Bayou 250's features include triple drum brakes, easy-to-read fuel gauge and a 12-volt accessory connector to provide quick and easy power to your electronic devices. A tow hitch bracket means that the Bayou 250 can tow 450 pounds. It is also equipped with a throttle limiter — making its power friendlier for new riders. Owners can increase the versatility of their Bayou ATV with an extensive line of Authentic Kawasaki Accessories, available from their local Kawasaki dealer.

You'll notice the difference with the very first note when you make the move from a beginner trumpet to the intermediate Getzen 900S Eterna Classic. The 900S Eterna Bb trumpet delivers both great looks and solid performance. This Getzen trumpet is made with quality materials and careful workmanship to offer you a rich, bold sound that is crisp and colorful and will work well for every style of music from be-bop to funk.
The Getzen 900S Eterna is also a dependable and versatile trumpet for working musicians and serious amateurs alike. The Eterna 900S Classic Trumpet has the same specifications plus the legendary feel and intonation that made the original Eterna 900 Getzen's most popular trumpet since it was introduced in the early 1960s.
The Getzen 900S Eterna Classic Trumpet has hand-lapped nickel silver valves for superior action resulting in smooth, flawless movement and easy playability. The 2-piece 4-3/4" handspun bell is fashioned from yellow brass with a wire-reinforced rim that creates excellent projection and tone. The slide adjustments are the traditional thumb-saddle first-valve and third-valve ring. Pitched in Bb, the trumpet has a .460" bore and a standard leadpipe made from nickel silver.
Getzen trumpet valves are smooth and fast, so you'll find yourself oiling them less than the valves on some other trumpet brands. In fact, you'll be hard pressed to find any flaws while playing your Getzen 900S Eterna. The intonation is great throughout with plenty of big bold trumpet sound that is also rich and beautiful. It is a versatile trumpet that will handle whatever style of music you want to play, making it an excellent all-around trumpet for any performer.
To increase its value to you, Getzen covers each 900S Eterna Trumpet with a Gold Limited 5-Year Warranty and a transferable lifetime piston warranty and delivers it in a handsome wood-shell case with a genuine Getzen mouthpiece.
All in all, the Getzen 900S Eterna Classic Trumpet is a fantastic horn at a great price.
Woodwind & Brasswind is proud to offer the high-quality Getzen 900S Eterna Trumpets for musicians from professional to beginner. Getzen instruments and music accessories are backed by The Woodwind & Brasswind's 110% Price Guarantee, assuring that you won't find quality Getzen musical instruments at a lower price anywhere else.

THIS WEEK, key underpinnings of the Western unconscious will reveal themselves in the observance of Passover and Good Friday — two rituals of sacrifice that have penetrated the American mind. Far from being an ancient irrelevance, the blood sacrifice that these occasions commemorate helps to define even secular culture — with profound consequences for how we, and our government, see the world.
The sacrificial lamb is the central figure of Passover, for its blood, in marking the lintels of the Hebrews in Egypt, prompted the angel of death to pass them by. The God-willed deaths of Egypt's firstborns recalls the piety of Abraham, who, at God's behest, was prepared to kill his beloved son. But Isaac, too, was spared by a lamb —"a ram caught in a thicket'' — that took his place.

The things you learn making animated gifs! Here is a set of damselflies in flight, with various speeds, in a report on an international exposition of air flight in the National Air and Space Museum's rare book collection. While my French is not the greatest, it looks as if various institutions including le Muséum national d'histoire naturelle, la Station physiologique du Collège de France, and l'Institut Marey worked together to study flight of insects and other animals for the International Exposition on Flight, the first airshow held at the Grand Palais in Paris, 1909.
L'Institut Marey was named for Etienne-Jules Marey, a physiologist and contemporary of Eadweard Muybridge. Marey had developed a camera expressly for the scientific study of movement. His last assistant and later replacement as head of l'Insititut Marey, Lucien Bull, further developed the technique by devising a high-speed camera to capture never before seen phenomenon such as a bullet piercing a soap bubble. It was a camera like this that Bull probably used to take the photos of this damselfly. For the first time, they could see precisely how insects took flight. Marey and Bull's "gun camera" would later develop into modern cinematography, birthing a whole new industry you are probably familiar with.
If your French is decent, or if you're curious to see the many photographs and illustrations, Rapport officiel de la première exposition international de locomotion aerienne (with the rapport officiel de la deuxième exposition also scanned and starting on p. 139) is definitely worth checking out.

Questions to Ask When Interviewing a St. Louis DUI Attorney
If you've been charged with driving under the influence (DUI, also known as driving while intoxicated, or DWI) in St. Louis, you'll want to quickly hire a St. Louis DUI attorney.
Most lawyers offer potential clients the opportunity to meet at a free initial consultation. This preliminary meeting, which is usually free, gives you the chance to learn more about the lawyer and decide whether to hire him.
Preparing to Meet a St. Louis DUI Attorney
You'll get the most out of the meeting if you come prepared with a list of questions to ask the St. Louis DUI attorney. But if you've never before hired a lawyer, you may not know what questions to ask. This article offers many suggestions.
Don't feel compelled to ask every question listed here. Instead, focus on those questions that will best help you decide if a St. Louis DWI lawyer is the right lawyer for you. Also, add questions of your own. For example, if you have any special requirements (such as a handicapped accessible office or an attorney who offers evening appointments), you'll want to include questions that touch on those needs.
Bring your list of questions to the initial consultation, as well as writing material to take notes. Your notes will come in handy when you sit down to decide which lawyer to hire.
Background & Experience
One way to begin the meeting is by asking the lawyer questions about his legal background and experience. Some relevant questions include:
- From which law school did you graduate?
- How long have you been practicing law?
- How long have you been handling St. Louis DUI cases?
- Do you take on other types of St. Louis criminal defense work? If so, what kind? How much of your practice is devoted to DWI cases?
- On average, how many DUI clients do you represent each year?
- How often do you appear before judges in the St. Louis City Municipal Court or the Circuit Court of St. Louis County?
- Do you belong to any bar associations or other professional organizations? If so, which ones?
Case Assessment
While the lawyer may not be able to give you specific legal advice until you've formally hired him, you can ask for his evaluation of your case and how he'd propose handling it. Questions to ask include:
- What are the strengths and weaknesses of my DUI case?
- What are the potential outcomes? What's the most likely outcome?
- What strategy would you suggest?
- How long will it take to resolve the case?
Case Management
Case management refers to the logistics of handling your case. You'll want to understand who's involved in your legal representation and what you as a client can expect of your St. Louis DUI attorney so there won't be any misunderstandings. Questions to ask include:
- Are you available to represent me?
- Will you be the only lawyer working on my case, or will other attorneys in your firm also be involved?
- Who will handle plea negotiations and court appearances?
- Will you be my regular contact? If not, whom should I contact?
- How do prefer to be contacted? How fast can I expect a response?
- What kind of updates will I receive? How frequently? What will they include?
Legal Fees
If your St. Louis DWI case is fairly straightforward, the lawyer may offer to represent you for a flat fee, where you pay one price for the lawyer to resolve the case. Otherwise, the lawyer will charge you an hourly rate, where you pay for the actual time he spends on your case. You'll probably also be expected to pay legal expenses associated with your case.
To fully understand the legal costs of your DUI case, ask the lawyer:
- Do you charge a flat fee or an hourly rate? How much is it?
- What additional legal expenses can I expect to pay? Approximately how much are they?
- Can you estimate the total cost, including legal fees and expenses, to resolve my case?
- What payment methods do you accept? When is payment due?
After the Initial Consultation
Once you've met with each St. Louis DUI attorney you're considering, you'll want to ask yourself some questions to help decide which attorney is the best lawyer for your DWI case. Ask yourself:
- Which lawyer had the best experience and background to handle my case?
- Which lawyer proposed the most reasonable and realistic strategy to resolve my St. Louis DWI charges?
- Whose legal fees can I afford?
- Which attorney seemed most trustworthy? With which attorney would I be most comfortable?
Once you've answered those questions, you should know which lawyer you want to hire to handle your St. Louis DWI case.

Back in November, Examiner announced that the Experience Hendrix Tour would be coming to Ames, and now the day is here. Tonight at 7:30 p.m. in Stephens Auditorium, some of the world's best musicians will pay tribute to, arguably, the greatest guitar player of all time—Jimi Hendrix. A few tickets ($55 to $78) are still available for tonight's show, and they can be purchased at the Stephen's Auditorium box office starting at 6 p.m.
Experience Hendrix, LLC was started by Jimi's father, James "Al" Hendrix, to preserve his son's legacy. After regaining control of his son's catalog and copyright rights, James later started the Experience Hendrix Tour to continue to spread his son's legacy to the masses—to keep Jimi's loyal followers enthralled and to introduce Jimi's music to new generations.
This year's Experience Hendrix Tour features some of music's top names. Scheduled to perform in Ames tonight will be Billy Cox (part of The Jimi Hendrix Experience), blues legend Buddy Guy, Zakk Wylde (former Ozzy Osbourne guitarist and founder of Black Label Society), Grammy Award winning blues rock guitarist Jonny Lang, Billboard Music and Blues Music Award winning blues rock guitarist Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Dweezil Zappa, Grammy winning guitarist Eric Johnson, Doyle Bramhall II (guitarist/co-producer for Eric Clapton), Cesar Rosas and David Hidalgo of Los Lobos, Stevie Ray Vaughan drummer Chris Layton, blues rock guitarist (and sometimes vocalist for Three 6 Mafia) Eric Gales, Indigenous guitarist and vocalist Mato Nanji, Dani Robinson of Dirty Seedz, and Hendrix tribute musician Stan Skibby. This could be the concert of the year for rock and blues fans. If you have the chance to go, don't miss it.
Listen to Kenny Wayne Shepherd talk about Hendrix in the embedded video.

Blue for shammys as a fallback.
The reason you put discs and druids on red is that they don't benefit much from green, (DA doesn't work with green, and neither do hot ticks) Holy priests on the other hand, even after the change to minimum ticks (1500) thus requiring crits from sanc to proc essense) pump out HUUUGGE amount of raw healing on green with poh, as do shammys.
The reason you would put a shammy on blue, is that CH is a smart heal. and one second CH's if you have a blue crystal not taken by a pally, is a damn good choice, especially sub 15 percent when the raid is ticking down.

Is it possible that the Titans (upon returning to Azeroth and finding the Old Gods and not starting over) realized that Azaroth is actually one massive Old God? The one in AQ is all eyes, Yogg is all mouths . . . . Is it possible? Maybe they didn't destroy the planet due to all the different races on it . . . . and because it's an Old God.

The Northern Illinois University men's basketball team led for 38 minutes, but Nebraska Omaha used 84 percent free throw shooting to slip past the Huskies, 68-66, on Friday night at the NIU Convocation Center. Sophomore wing Darrell Bowie (Milwaukee, Wis./La Jolla Prep) scored a team-high 16 points to lead the Huskies.
Sophomore guard Daveon Balls (Indianapolis, Ind./Lawrence North) added 13 points on 5-of-9 shooting, but the Huskies were unable to overcome a 53.6 percent shooting effort (15-of-28) from the free-throw line. Omaha connected on 27 of its 32 attempts from the charity stripe (84.4 percent).
"It seemed like we were in control in the first half, in a good rhythm," said NIU head coach Mark Montgomery. "We had a good lead at halftime, unfortunately we had a little foul trouble, and that definitely hurt us in the second half. I thought we played good enough to win the game but when you miss 13 free throws and you can't expand on your lead it comes back to bite you.
"We have to find a way to finish game. We had the lead late but they made a few more plays down the stretch than we did."
NIU (0-1) had led the entire second half and held a five-point lead, 60-55, with four minutes to go before a basket by Alex Phillips and a triple from C.J. Carter pulled the Mavericks even with 3:02 left.
After an old-fashioned three-point play from sophomore guard Travon Baker (Detroit, Mich./Detroit Consortium) put the Huskies back up three, 65-62, with just over a minute left, Carter responded with a pair of free throws and his own three-point play to give Omaha (1-0) a two-point edge with just 13 seconds remaining.
Both teams split a pair of free throws, giving the Huskies one last chance, down two, with six seconds to play, but a floater came up just short and Omaha escaped with the season-opening victory.
Bowie started the game hot, scoring six points in the opening three minutes to give NIU an early 9-6 lead.
The final five of Bowie's opening half-dozen sparked a 13-2 run that gave NIU a 17-8 advantage just over eight minutes into the contest. Redshirt junior center Jordan Threloff (DeKalb, Ill./DeKalb/Illinois State) came off the bench to score six during the NIU burst, Threloff finished with nine points on 4-of-4 shooting in just 16 minutes as he was limited by foul trouble.
A basket by Omaha cut the NIU lead back to seven, 17-10, before a triple from sophomore guard J.J. Cravatta (Streator, Ill./Streator Township) and a layup by Balls gave the Huskies a 22-10 lead, its largest of the contest, just before the midway point of the first half.
The Huskies took an 11-point lead, 39-28, into the intermission.
Omaha made seven of its eight free throw attempts in the opening five minutes of the second half as the Mavericks trimmed the NIU lead to just five, 42-37. The Huskies pushed the advantage back to nine, 50-41, but were unable to extend it further.
The Mavericks closed within a pair, 53-51, with just under 12 minutes to play but couldn't pull even until Carter's triple, his only one of the contest, with three minutes to play.
Carter led Omaha with 18 points, six rebounds and four assists. Marcus Tyus scored nine points off the bench and the Mavericks held a 36-33 rebounding edge over the Huskies.
NIU will return to action next Friday night (Nov. 15) when they host 2013 NCAA Tournament participant James Madison in the second game of the NIU Invitational. The tournament begins at 5:30 p.m., on Friday when San Jose State takes on UW Milwaukee.

The Low Incomes Tax Reform Group (LITRG) has issued its latest guidance note to assist UK taxpayers in checking their latest PAYE code is correct. Until early March 2012, HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) is issuing PAYE Coding Notices for the forthcoming 2012/13 tax year.
In order to assist taxpayers in checking they have the correct code, the LITRG has created a guide which is available via:
The new guide features sections on the basics of PAYE codes and information on the underpayment restrictions related to tax for an earlier year. This new tips page also features advice on how self-assessment taxpayers can check PAYE Codes online as well as guidance on telephoning HMRC and any issues for people with disabilities.
LITRG technical officer Kelly Sizer, who is also the guide's author, said "You should always check what tax is being taken off your income and query it with HMRC if you do not understand or think it might be wrong."

- The mathematical and numerical modelling knowledge required to assess the suitability of ProSAir for a particular blast loading application
- Training in setting up and running ProSAir.
Course topics
Mathematical Modelling and Discretisation
- Sources of error – modelling error, discretisation error, rounding error
- ProSAir's mathematical model and associated modelling errors
- Finite volume discretisation – approximate Riemann solvers, TVD schemes, boundary conditions
- Solution process overview
Charge Modelling and Using Symmetry
- Bursting sphere approximation for spherical charges
- Exploiting spherical symmetry
- Hemispherical ground-burst
- Exploiting cylindrical symmetry
- Height of blast simulations
- Solution transfer process
- ProSAir Practical – performing spherical air-burst and height-of-blast simulations, post-processing, cylindrical containment.
3D Simulations and Geometric Features
- Adding geometric features - constructive solid geometry
- ProSAir Practical – performing 3D simulations
Glazing Damage and Practical Issues
- Glazing damage – iso-damage curves
- Batch processing
- Post-processing
- Error estimation
User Workshop
- Users have the opportunity to apply ProSAir to a problem of their own, or follow one of the documented examples, assisted by course staff
Future Developments
- Developments in progress – propellant burning, multiple charges, shaped charges
- Proposed developments – mesh adaptation, casing effects
- Delegate requirements – a chance to influence development of ProSAir
Once per year and by request.
Who should attend
Engineers working in blast protection or explosive hazard assessment/design who must evaluate the loads on structures in the vicinity of a high explosive detonation.
Entry requirements: Degree in an engineering discipline; some experience of design of structures to resist blast loading is desirable.
Course deliveryThis 1 day course is delivered via a mixture of:
- short lectures to deliver key theory and best practice

With the final roster cuts being made around the NFL today, hundreds of players around the league will be paid a visit by the Turk as they learn their fate with the team.
Unfortunately for Cincinnati Bengals fullback John Conner, he was one of the men to get the dreaded visit and learn that he is not in the team's future plans. The news comes from Joe Reedy of the Cincinnati Inquirer.
"The Terminator," as he is known, first joined the Bengals back in December of last year when they lost Chris Pressley to the injured reserve list.
It was believed that Conner had a good shot to beat out Orson Charles for the starting fullback job, but it appears that the coaching staff was more fond of Charles' upside and athleticism. Charles was making the move from tight end to fullback during training camp, which was well-documented on the newest season of HBO's Hard Knocks.
Conner now hits the open market where he will likely generate interest with his bargain contract. One team that could benefit from adding a fullback is the Dallas Cowboys.

Last Thursday, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled to uphold Obamacare's individual mandate (indictment) to collect more taxes from you and me. President Barack Obama's taxation shell game, which flies in the face of the freedoms we celebrate this week, is just one more reason his presidency and Obamacare need to be overturned this November.
Chief Justice John Roberts wasn't kidding when he offered the commentary about the court's ruling: "It is not our job to protect the people from the consequences of their political choices." Obamacare is taxation unleashed!

In Italy, panino (Italian pronunciation: [paˈniːno]) is the word for a sandwich made from bread other than sliced bread, in which case Italians call it a tramezzino. Examples of bread types used are ciabatta, rosetta and baguette. The bread is cut horizontally and filled with deli ingredients such as salami, ham, cheese, mortadella, or other food, and sometimes served warm after having been pressed by a warming grill. A toasted sandwich made from sliced bread is not called "panino" but "toast" by Italians, and is usually filled with ham and a few slices of cheese, and heated in sandwich press. A popular version of panino in Central Italy is filled with porchetta, slices of pork roasted with garlic, salt, rosemary, and sage.
In the United States, United Kingdom and Canada, the term panini has been adopted to refer to a pressed and toasted sandwich; there is widespread availability and use of sandwich presses, often known as "panini presses" or "toasted sandwich makers."
The word panino [pa'ni:no] is Italian for "small bread roll"; its plural form is panini. The word is the diminutive form of pane (bread). In some English- and French-speaking countries, panini is sometimes used as a singular word (like salami, also an Italian plural noun) and sometimes incorrectly pluralized as paninis.
In Italian, panino refers properly to a bread roll and panino imbottito (stuffed panino) to a sandwich. Paninoteca is the word for a sandwich bar.
Panino is also often used to refer to a sandwich in general.
Although the first U.S. reference to panini dates to 1956, and a precursor appeared in a 16th-century Italian cookbook, the sandwiches became trendy in Milanese bars, called paninoteche, in the 1970s and 1980s. Trendy U.S. restaurants, particularly in New York, began selling panini, whose popularity then spread to other U.S. cities, each producing distinctive variations of it.[1]
During the 1980s, the term paninaro was used to denote a youngsters' culture typical of teenagers supposed to eat and meet in sandwich bars such as Milan's Al Panino and then in the first US-style fast food restaurants opened in Italy. Paninari were depicted as fashion-fixated, vain individuals, delighting in showcasing early 1980s status symbols such as Timberland shoes, Moncler accessories, Ray-Ban sunglasses, and articles from Armani, Coveri, Controvento. They were lampooned in the Italia 1 comedy show Drive-in by Enzo Braschi. A track entitled "Paninaro" appears on Pet Shop Boys' albums Disco and Alternative.
Panini are cooked in specific grilling machines called either panini presses or simply panini machines. Domestic panini machines are usually made of teflon-coated metal or glass-ceramic, whereas professional units are made out of glass-ceramic or cast-iron. A few brands offer special features on their machines, such as cooking plates that can be removed for safe cleaning in the dishwasher.

I have finally bought myself a dashcam and i am very pleased with my purchase.
The camera is called Mobius ActionCam and it's a multifunction action cam, one of those function is being a dashcam and it does this rather well, infact it does it better than that anything else for the price.
The camera cost £41 and it can be purchased here
I highly recommend if anyone buying this camera purchase from the above link (Seller eletoponline365) The camera is made and sold by this specific seller from Hong Kong with the lowest price anywhere. (delivery takes 1 week)
Lets get down to what this camera is and some of it's features.
1080p full HD recording
720p HD recording
H.264AVC1 .MOV files
Photo mode
SD card slot upto 32GB
Plug and play for windows
Live TV out whilst recording
Data transfer from camera
80mins real life recording on battery
And much more although i will only mention features relevant to car cams as this camera can be hooked upto remote control planes, motorbikes etc, it's an action cam!
and it looks like this
This is what comes with the camera (Plus a multifunction USB, TV out adaptor cable not in photo)
Here it what it looks like in person and how small it is, as you can see compared to my keyfob it is indeed a very small camera so is the mount. The Camera does not have a viewfinder like some of the other cameras others have chosen, i specifically went for a cam without a viewfinder for it's compact size and quality.
Now i must admit at first i was worried setting up the camera would be difficult without a viewfinder although that is not a problem, the mobius actioncam can be used as a webcam therefore plugging it into your laptop will give you a view whilst setting up in the car but i am pleased to say that will not be necessary, the camera wide view is great any almost any position pointing straight will be perfect every time.
I am truly impressed with the compact size of this unit! it's barely visible from outside of the car and wiring it up is simple, since the cam has no viewfinder, no settings can be changed via the camera itself, you have to connect it to your computer, download the software here http://www.mytempfil...bius/index.html and change whatever you need, out the box it will work just fine although for a car settings must be made for the best quality videos and auto start recording, the software is simple and it works, there is no drama no errors no bs, just plug it in, and run the software.
I must stress to anyone thinking about this camera, it does not come with any mounts suitable for a car, hence the price, the mounts, and there are several available, all sold separately, there is a suction cup mount and a sticky back mount, i bought the sticky back mount for permanently fixing it to myself windscreen +plus it is slightly smaller than a suction cup mount.
Mounts cost under £3
Suction cup
Sticky back
Instructions on how to hard wire this dash cam can be found here http://www.fordowner...guides sections

Pipe plant project undergoes changes
A string of items related to the Schulz project monopolized a special meeting called by the Board of Supervisors on Aug. 6.
During executive session, supervisors voted to terminate the county's contract with Graycor Harrell, who were hired as general contractors for construction of the multi-million dollar manufacturing facility. Board attorney Andy Dulaney said the next company on the short list of potentials would be awarded the job. H & M Company of Memphis was next in line from the list of selectees reviewed and scored by a committee appointed by the Board of Supervisors. H & M has had charge over projects throughout the United States. Twenty-one companies submitted proposals for the job.

Yuck: A Fourth Grader Reveals What School Lunches Really Look Like
When you were a grade school student, you probably complained about particularly bad school lunches to your parents or your friends, but fourth grader Zachary Maxwell didn't stop there. He decided to bring a small video camera to school so he could show his parents what his school lunches really looked like — and then spent the next six months documenting the food served in his New York City lunchroom.
Yuck: A 4th Grader's Short Documentary About School Lunch is a 20-minute film about his undercover operation, examining the disconnect between the appealing, healthy meals described on the school board's menus and the sad, soggy food actually served to students. On "Pizza Party Day," for example, the menu promises an oven-baked pizza bagel and "Ellie Krieger's Tri-Color Salad." Instead students received a slice of regular cheese pizza, with nothing on the side.
You can see a short slideshow of Zachary's lunches here:

That youngster showed a lot of initiative, and bravo to the parents too for speaking up. The unfortunate thing is that many kids may not be eating any better at home, so a nourishing, tasty school meal is part and parcel of ensuring that children, particularly those from poorer families, are not disadvantaged in their learning by poor nutrition.
Pack your kids lunches people. It's your responsibility to ensure proper nutrition is given to your child. You get a loaf of bread, some fresh lunchmeat, cheese, and a couple of tomatoes. Put it all together and throw it in a bag with some carrots, hummus and yogurt.
Carrots are about a dollar a bag, yogurt is 50 cents, bread is 2 bucks, lunchmeat, cheese and hummus is all together maybe 10 bucks? That's about 3 bucks or so a lunch.
Want to mix it up? Cut up a pineapple, 2.99 and it lasts a few days. Get a can of tuna, throw in some apricots, cut up cucumbers, pudding cups.
Take control!
I'm with pearmelon: I think it's worth fighting for good school lunches. Of course I could pack good lunches for my kid, but what about the others? For some kids, it's the only proper meal they get.
I think school lunches provide a tremendous opportunity for improving nutrition status-many kids eat 2/3 meals at school daily. I'm a peds dietitian, and I'd say 95% (if not more) of all the patients I see complain that school lunches are gross. Not all families have the capacity to pack from home lunches, nor do I think they should have to just because school food isn't up to par.
Tax dollars pay for school lunches, and they should be healthier, since so many families need them for their children. It's easy to say "take control" and pack their lunch, and maybe that is a viable option for many, but many parents are out of the house to work before their children even get up, and are home long after the kids go to sleep. And when you've got more than one child, yogurt isn't just 50 cents, it's four bucks, and not an option. I'm a widow who raised four kids, and many days, I did rely on school lunches to feed them because there was no money, or I had to work a double.
If only all parents could afford $3 for lunch. School lunch here(Wisconsin) at full price is around that. Many parents can't even afford to pay the full amount. These people can't "take control"
Why would the NYT insult that kid by calling him Michael Moore? oh right, the NYT... never mind.
When I went to Catholic school in NYC we weren't allowed to bring our own lunches. We had to eat the school food. I'm not sure why, it might have had something to do with going to a diocese school. When I went to a private Catholic high school we were allowed to bring our own lunch which I did sometimes, but I was so not used to bringing my own lunch that it was usually just a hamburger I'd bring in from Burger King.
Last year, I let my son buy lunch twice a week. That stopped the instant I discovered that he was using his lunch card to buy ice cream or chips rather than the so-called "healthy" lunch. It has been a hit financially (I have three kids), but it is so important. I make 40 small rolls each Sunday (it costs me less than $6). I freeze them in a huge freezer bag and take them out each morning to thaw on the counter. I stuff them with whatever I have - leftover chicken, no-nitrate deli meat, cheese, or peanut butter. Pop some popcorn, add a piece of fruit and some veggie sticks and that's lunch! Not very imaginative, but that's what they would've probably been given if they had been home for lunch.
That's pretty much what I remember school lunches looking like, but in all fairness there was never any effort to make it sound more appealing or healthy. I remember many kids just getting lunch from the vending machines, even in elementary. Me, I stuck with only chocolate milk from middle school on because I could not stand the food.
I went to poor schools, the majority of the students were eligible for free breakfasts/lunches. A lot of kids ate them only because it was all they were going to get to eat that day. What's being fed to these kids is absolutely something we should be concerned about.
The politics behind changing the contents of school lunches is so convoluted that when you really look into it, it seems impossible to change the laws of what constitutes a healthy lunch (ex: most of them are based on the old "food pyramid" criteria and potatoes [i.e. french fries] are a vegetable). I attended the Just Food conference in 2012 and some of the sessions were really eye opening.
I am sick and tired of hearing how some parents "can't afford" to take control over brown-bag lunches. What do they feed their kids when there is no school? I lived in a poor country at the levels of poverty that aren't even mentioned in the U.S. We had 10 dollars to spend on our weekly groceries. And we managed without school lunches or government handouts, and had home cooked meals three times a day, even though my mom was a single parent who worked 18 hour days to make the ends meet, and rest assured she raised healthier kids than those we have here in the US. "Too poor, too busy" are two lamest excuses for poor parenting skills and lack of responsibility. Can't afford having a child, don't have one. But no, not only do they have children, they have multiple children, and then they blame government for not taking care of them properly. Sheesh...
Now you can start throwing stones at me.
@eatalready "What do they feed their kids when there is no school?"
That's precisely the problem - for many kids, the school meal may be their only opportunity to eat healthily. Regulations and standards do have positive outcomes, so if you can level the playing field for these kids, then why wouldn't you? You don't seem too concerned about this issue, but this post from Marion Nestle's blog, makes interesting reading:

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of PacSun. All opinions are 100% mine.
If you love skateboarding, snowboarding, motocross, and rally racing, you are definitely familiar with Ken Block. In 2005, Ken Block began his national rallying career with the Vermont SportsCar team. His skill and car control became quickly apparent and he competently nabbed Rookie of the Year in the Rally America Championship. In addition to his performance in the car, Block has been a driving force in shedding light on the sport within the United States. His keen branding and marketing acumen not only elevated DC to their current eminent status, but has allowed Ken to achieve global fame as a national rally driver through his wildly successful viral video campaigns.
Ken has competed in many action sports events, and he is one of the co-founders and recently appointed chief brand officer of DC shoes. A worldwide leader in performance skateboarding shoes and a renowned action sports brand. Block believed that as with other athletes, skateboarders needed special shoes to compete at high levels. If you would like to get some Ken Block Gear, you should check out his new line at PacSun.com. I thought the Ken Block Drip Hoodie is a great gift especially for those into skateboarding, snowboarding, motocross, and of course rally racing.

I'm holy spec with a little disc. If it's a 1v1 pull, i'll start with a holy fire, hit with a mind blast, throw a sw:pain and have a renew on myself by the time they get to me. then i'll proced to wand them the rest of the way down, keeping renew up and throwing a smite or mind blast every once in awhile. This means that i finish almost every fight with full or almost full mana and can move straight on to the next mob. anything more than 1 nme and i usually throw up a shield, just so i can get my spell off. But 1v1, it's not in my typical spell rotation, just cause of the way it uses mana.
Soloing with a holy priest can be a pain. Obviously you kill stuff sooooo slow but I seem to have absolutely no downtime.

Reblogged from marfmellow
Fuck other women, they are your competition. McDonalds doesn't listen to what Burger King has to say.
This is really sad and gross. I feel like I've been spoiled by having such rad friends because it shocked me that anyone still believes this sort of ridiculous shit. Think about it for a minute: Why are women in competition with each other? What are they in competition for? Are you trying to be the hottest babe around? Why? What's the point of that? Can't you be hot while another woman is also hot? Are you trying to compete for dates? Humans aren't prizes you can win! Women are taught to be competitive with each other because when we're in solidarity we are more powerful. I genuinely love other women and I refuse to buy into this gross patriarchal bullshit that tells me I should be constantly trying to be better than the next girl. My awesomeness doesn't depend on putting another woman down. Ugh.

I get so tired of constantly struggling with my sisters. The more we have in common, including love, the greater the heartache beween us, the more we hurt each other. It's excrutiatingly painful, this constant snarling at our own shadows.

Part 3
The Right Mix
It's your first day as manager in your new organization and you are a bit nervous. Sure, you have 10 years experience in management, have worked with all types of people before, and have been successful in the past, but this is different, new people, new environment, and a new culture. You know from your studies as a graduate student in Leadership at Albertus that in order to be a truly effective leader you need to evaluate each situation independently and get to know the people you will be managing individually. You remember that simple principle from your class Leadership in Theory and Practice , that there is no one best style of leadership, and that the way to determine the best way to lead is my assessing the situation you are in and the people you are leading.
You know based on the model above (adapted from the work of Ed Hollander, 1978) that true leadership is not just about being a strong leader, but it is about is having the right fit between the leader, the follower, and the situation. The simple model above was developed by Ed Hollander in 1978 and shows us that the locus of leadership is at the intersection of these three entities, and in order to lead most effectively we need to consider the different styles of leadership and determine which style fits best with the situation we are in and the people we are leading.
Let's go back to our example. Remember, you are a new manager with a history of success taking on a new department in a new organization, so what do you do? Well, the first thing you need to do is take an audit of the situation, who are the people working for you, who are the people you will need to influence in order to carry out your vision? You will also need to assess the situation your department is in. Is this a new group of people or a team which has been working together for many years? If it's a new team then it's possible that you may need to provide more direction than if the department is well established with strong norms and experience. You need to determine if members of your team work on multiple projects? If they are in the right jobs? Working at optimal efficiency? Satisfied with the organization? And much more! Additionally you need to determine what the climate is outside of your department both within the organization and outside of it. There are many things which leaders need to do as they take on a new challenge such as leading a new department, these are just a few of them, the thing to remember is that there is no 'right' style, but there is a 'right' style for the particular situation you are in. So, how do you know which style of leadership to choose? Well, you need to learn the different leadership styles and learn the ways that people under different situations respond to them. Keep reading blogs, pick up a book, or even better (and I have to put it in here), register for an open house on November 7th to learn about the masters degrees in Leadership at Albertus Magnus College and talk with me and other faculty about how you can lead in your organization and develop your career, no matter what position you are currently in.
Have a great few weeks and I will 'see' you next month with the next Leadership installment…
