Women would love the hand stitched appliqués found on the Giesswein Grein women's slippers. To make the upper of this women's slipper 100% natural boiled wool was used. This wool will absorb the water and keep the feet dry. Carbon/rubber was used to make the footbed which was then lined with 100% natural boiled wool. The footbed provides arch support and cushioning. They are also removable allowing one to replace them with a custom orthotic. The rubber outsole has been dipped in latex (a process patented by Giesswein). This outsole ensures both traction control and durability. It is also water and slip resistant. No scuff or marks will be left on the floor by the outsole. One can machine wash these slippers. The Giesswein Grein women's slippers will be a perfect addition to any woman's collection.

Deep Regret
My friend Pete has a theory he refers to as "Deep Regret."
By definition, Deep Regret is the acute anxiety or inevitable apprehension trigged in the average male by the sudden or unexpected appearance of an immensely beautiful girl he innately knows is way out of his league. This girl is so gorgeous, so exquisite, so stunning, he becomes instantly enamored beyond mental functionality and can barely keep his eyes from popping out of his head, let alone bring himself to speak to her. Her beauty and elegance, her feminine mystique are so intoxicating, so staggering, his knees involuntarily go weak, he becomes unreasonably inarticulate, and as a result, just stands there like a n00b with his jaw on the sidewalk.
Naturally, she takes zero notice of him and doesn't even acknowledge his existence as she gracefully strolls away out of sight, and ultimately out of this life forever. It's not a conscious thing on her part; she's not being discourteous or mean by any stretch of the imagination, she's just that sweet, innocent and utterly charming. She simply has no idea.
Okay. Never for a second have I pretended to have the ever-elusive female charm all figured out, but I can certainly speak for the impending inhibitions that we shy males must deal with. I'd tried to give this crazy phenomena a suitable title for a long time until Pete finally hit the nail on the head. Deep Regret refers to the irresistible longing a boy has to approach and speak to his dream girl even though he cannot physically or emotionally make himself do it. He is trapped in inner turmoil. Stricken by quiet chaos. Utterly helpless. Paralyzed. Despite the inner machine gun spray of stinging desperation, he watches her walk away and spends that night staring at the ceiling wondering WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED had he found the strength to fight back the nerves long enough to say hello. His chance is lost, she is gone, yet he still replays the scene in his head, wishing he wasn't such a jellyfish around pretty girls. Who knows what might've happened? He kicks himself. The wondering alone could choke a moose.
That, dear friends, is Deep Regret.
We opened for John Mayer in Houston a few months ago. Myself and good pal/monitor engineer Micah were hoofing down the quarter mile stretch from the venue to the bus after soundcheck. The sidewalk led us around the perimeter of the grounds before intersecting with a long line of fans waiting to get into the show. We were minding our own business, talking about nothing in particular when suddenly, it happened. I glanced off to my right and my heart literally stopped dead.
It was electric. It all happened in slow motion. There in front of us was a group of girls in their early/mid-twenties, walking and chatting amongst themselves on their way to the show. One of them turned to say something to her friend and I almost had a heart attack. I literally, physically couldn't breathe. Everything about her was gorgeous. Her eyes, her smile, the way her hair fell across her face, the way she laughed, the way she walked. I was immediately struck by the Stupid Hammer as my frozen charisma melted all over the sidewalk and I stood there gaping like a ridiculous imbecile.
Allow me to pause for a moment simply to clarify that this was NOT a beastly, primal, overly-rugged masculine emotion that took hold of me. I did NOT slobber all over myself via lewd desire like some impudent, lustful, arrogant bro. I did NOT jump up and down and inwardly scream "Woah, that girl is hot!" because it is my personal opinion that the word "hot" has been weighed down by so many repulsive, disrespectful connotations (all thanks to modern media), that it has ultimately become a rather derogatory adjective with which to describe such pure and blameless beauty. It has a devious way of cheapening it and that tends to bug me. Deep Regret and the stunning quality of such unpolluted beauty is far too exquisite and innocent to be associated with such brash crudeness.
Whew. Glad that's all cleared up.
She was beautiful. Actually, beautiful doesn't even touch how graceful this woman was. I was utterly smitten. My mouth went dry and my heart beat around inside my chest like a dull jackhammer as the butterflies in my stomach strapped on rusty ice skates and raged in thunderous fury. My malfunctioning mental faculties shuddered and turned over a few times like a cold engine in a winter morning before promptly shutting down. It was the first time in my life I'd truly felt stunned by beauty.
I was speechless. She was Cinderella.
As I stood there incapacitated, she glided by and continued on down the sidewalk, just being totally sweet and innocent. We never made eye contact, she didn't happen to look up or notice me. She had no idea I was even there. I instantly knew what had happened because it hit me like an iron bell in an empty church.
This is where I tell everyone how I've never fancied myself a terribly romantic person, and just like anyone, I have my fair share of rough edges. However, during this particular scenario in Houston, had I kept my wits about me and somehow found the nerve to approach Cinderella, I suspect I would've merely blabbered a load of silly rubbish via a doomed attempt of acting "cool" or "outgoing" or "fun," only to fail miserably. Of course, I still wonder what would've happened. Alas, the world continues to turn, life continues to endure, and Deep Regret continues to strike like a viper.
Despite all of this, there is hope, endless amounts of the stuff, and that's my favorite part.
This is where I swallow an overdose of optimism, leap out of my chair with my fist in the air, and shout from the rooftops at the top of my lungs, "Life must go on!" for this I truly know:
She is out there. My Cinderella. She is real. She exists. I pray for her constantly. May God satisfy the desires of her heart, draw her close, consume her. May He claim her passions, her identity, her refuge, her hopes, her strengths and weaknesses, every fiber of her being. May she treasure and cherish her Savior more than anything of this world and cling to His will with every ounce of her stamina. By all that she is, does, and strives to be, may He draw near to her and she to Him.
A mental scene is suddenly vivid. The midday sun beats down on a dirty saloon town. A showdown is taking place in the middle of a sweltering dusty street. Back to back, Deep Regret and I pace off as the clinks of our spurs split the deafening silence. At any moment, we'll whirl around and face each other, gun metal blazing like fire. Our shots will ring through the empty buildings, shatter glass storefront windows, and only one will walk away alive.
At present, the sunset deepens in the dusk and we are still pacing, Deep Regret and I. Muscles tensed, senses alert, counting, waiting, ready to lunge for each other's throats like wild animals. Though it hasn't happened yet, the moment will surely arrive when faith and fear collide like a double train wreck and that's when I'll spin around and pull the trigger with such deft aim and vehement resolve, a silver bullet will rip through the air and I won't even have to stand there and watch it spiral in slow motion… because I'll already know… I won't miss.
That's the cool Wyatt Erp version.
Perhaps the Cary Grant version is a bit more refined. Perhaps I'll be wearing a crisp tuxedo when I meet her (highly unlikely). I shall approach Her Highness, bow, and graciously introduce myself. She'll offer me her royal hand, reveal her name to me, and we shall chat pleasantly whilst swirling around a ballroom of dreamy splendor. Our friendship will grow and blossom, and neither of us will ever have to write silly (and rather verbose) blogs explaining what Deep Regret is because it'll just feel right and perhaps even meant to be.
It's a cozy thought. Yet one I prefer to casually think about over long flights to Japan rather than wish upon a star right this second.
Time. There is much time left and lots of life seasons. There is much to see, to do, and to be.
I am a happy clam. I must take it all in, give thanks for it, and treasure reality with a heart crammed full of content as life continues to play out day-by-day. Should I do simply that, I shall finally rest assured knowing the next time Deep Regret rears its ugly head, I'll be waiting with semi-smug confidence, ready to act swiftly.

April 2010 Sky from the Keeble Observatory
"In science there is only physics. All the rest is stamp collecting." – Ernest
Rutherford is alleged to have said this, though it is more than ironic that he was
awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry! However, given the state of science
in the late 19th and early 20th century, there was a grain
of truth. Biology was largely taxonomy … able to distinguish between species, but
unable to explain genetics. Chemistry was not far removed from the days of alchemy
… even the existence of atoms was subject to question, and while there were a number
of chemical "laws" there was no underlying theory to explain them. Physics had erected
a mathematical superstructure which seemed to successfully explain mechanical, electromagnetic,
and fluid behavior. Albeit that the superstructure didn't quite work and had to
be replaced with relativity and quantum mechanics.
Astronomy was in a similar "stamp collecting" mode. What it could explain was explained
using physics, but there was no deep understanding for anything celestial other
than orbital mechanics … which is explained by physics. One of the tricks of stamp
collecting is to group like objects to see if there are any underlying patterns.
To this end, a pair of astronomers independently thought to graph two stellar characteristics
to find out how they might be related. Danish astronomer Ejnar Hertzsprung and American
Henry Norris Russell were hoping to find a connection between a star's luminosity
(i.e. its brightness) and its color, the latter a measure of its temperature. This
graph has become one of the most useful tools of modern astronomy, and it is now
known as the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram, or H-R diagram for short. A typical H-R
diagram for the nearest few thousand stars is shown (note that temperature increases
to the left, and that both scales are logarithmic – increments are multiplications,
not additions). The temperature scale is measured from absolute zero in kelvins.
The luminosity scale is relative to the Sun's luminosity.
Their intuition was correct. There clearly are patterns here, but what do they mean?
Initially, one might expect a direct correlation. Certainly, for an incandescent
lamp filament this is true; i.e. the hotter the lamp, the brighter the light. This
would show up as a line rising diagonally from right to left. And, for most of the
stars plotted, this is true. These stars fall along the main sequence. The
Sun lies approximately in the middle of the main sequence at a temperature of about
6000 K at 1 solar luminosity. The number of stars on the main sequence declines
as their luminosity and temperature increase, so that there are very few super hot
and super bright stars, but lots of stars fainter and cooler than the Sun.
The surprises lie off the main sequence. Below and to the left we find extremely
hot stars which do not emit a lot of light. We infer them to be very small, approximately
the size of Earth! Above and to the right are very cool but extremely luminous stars.
These stars are huge when compared to the Sun. A red supergiant, like Betelgeuse
in Orion, has a radius roughly matching the orbit of Mars!
Russell thought the main sequence represented the lifetime of a star, beginning
extremely hot and cooling off over the eons. He didn't get that right, as we'll
discuss next month.
Lunar phases for April: Last Quarter on the 6th, at 5:37 am; New
Moon on the 14th, at 8:29 am; First Quarter on the 21st, at
2:20 pm; Full Moon on the 28th at 8:18 am.
Jupiter rises about an hour before sunrise at the beginning of April, but the ecliptic
makes a shallow angle with the horizon, so it is only about 10 degrees above the
east-southeast horizon by the time the Sun actually rises. By the end of the month
it will rise two hours before sunrise, and will be 10 degrees higher at dawn.
Evening planet watchers get a better show. Venus and Mercury start the month only
a few degrees apart, respectively 17 and 15 degrees above the western horizon and
easily the brightest objects in that direction. They will set about an hour after
sunset. At the same time, Saturn has already risen to the east, and will be visible
all night. This is an ideal time to view the ringed planet, since it has just passed
opposition and is still very bright. The ring plane is tilted only slightly to the
line of sight, so they are not in the best orientation. Nevertheless, this is a
special target with binoculars or a small telescope. Mars is still bright, high
to the southeast as it emerges from evening twilight.
By month's end, Venus is even higher to the west, but Mercury has disappeared into
the Sun's glare. Mars and Saturn have moved westward relative to the horizon, so
we find Saturn high to the southeast and Mars almost due south.
If you overhead at mid-month, about two hours after sunset, you will see zenith
nearly devoid of stars. The small but not easily recognized constellation, appropriately
named Leo Minor, has little to recommend it to the naked eye. Better to look just
below zenith and toward the south for its more easily recognized big brother, Leo.
The familiar "sickle" marks the head of the Lion, with bright Regulus at the heart.
Leo is nicely framed by Saturn to the southeast and Mars to the southwest. Below
Saturn is the bright star Spica, in the constellation Virgo. Further to the east
lies the constellation Bootes, with its brightest star Arcturus.
Turning to the north we see the Big Dipper of Ursa Major at its highest angle, with
the "pointer stars" at the end of the dipper's bowl aligned almost directly above
Polaris. Contrary to popular impressions (some of my students seem to expect the
North Star to be the brightest star in the sky) Polaris does not attract your eye.
To the west, Gemini is high above Orion, which is settling toward the horizon as
we bid this most familiar of winter's constellations farewell for another year.

El Paso, TX (KDBC) — El Paso Police have confirmed that former high school football standout Andre Bernanrd Jones was found dead in a El Paso Hotel overnight.
Jones was once one of the star athletes from El Paso, he played with the Andress High School football team under coach Allan Sepkowitz . Jones signed to play Defensive Tackle for the Texas Longhorns when he was a 16-year-old Junior. Coming out of high school, Jones was one of the most highly-recruited defensive line prospects in the nation, and he competed in the U.S. Army All-American Bowl. However, Jones never played a down with the Longhorns.
On July 27, 2007, Jones and Texas teammate Robert Joseph allegedly committed an armed robbery at a southeast Austin apartment complex. Jones was dismissed from the Longhorns and returned to to El Paso area where he had several run-ins with the law including a 2012 arrest for manufacture and delivery of crack cocaine. Court records indicate that Jones served nine months in jail in connection with those charges and was released May of 2013.
Police say Jones' death is under investigation, but do not suspect foul play. Andre Bernard Jones was twenty-four years old at the time of his death.

DayZ hacked, but users' data remains secure
One of the benefits of a post-apocalypse is there's no more digitally vulnerable data. Unfortunately for Bohemia Interactive, they don't live in that after-world, only simulate it. And while DayZ is a game that's hosted more than it's fair share of jerks, normally it's at least in the spirit of anything-goes survival. Not this time, though: Bohemia have confirmed that their servers were attacked by hackers. The good news is that players, and the game's development, are apparently unaffected.

OFNA's latest in wheel technology has everyone trying to reinvent the wheel.

These are good wheels for the price. They are lightweight and seem to be very durable. They flex a little more than other wheels though. I use these on my Losi 2.0 buggy with no issues of scrubbing the a-arm when the steering is at full lock.

Despite the bright yellow and lime-green exterior, this fast-casual eatery serving Cuban fare and Latin daily specials (tacos and arepas are in the works) can be hard to spot from the main drag down from Holy Cross Hospital. After walking across the canopy-covered patio with misting fans and bamboo fencing, order classic dishes at the corrugated metal counter inside, such as ropa vieja ($6 to $8), picadillo ($5 to $7) and mojo roast pork ($7 to $9), which are plated in front of you. Sandwiches and wraps, such as the Cuban ($6) or the signature Sweet Bananas with chimichurri steak, rice, beans and plantains ($9), take a tad longer and are brought to you at one of the handful of tables or counter seating inside, or at eight plastic tables on the patio. Choose from five enticing sauces, such as cilantro or mango habanero. Half of the orders are takeout or delivery in a five-mile radius.

Kicked ball hits bird and falls

im sorry for the mess of equations but i have a final tomorrow night and my professor gives very little credit if we dont start from the basic equations of energy, kinematics, momentum, etc we arent allowed to make any shortcuts :(
you get 80% credit for the problem as long as you have the correct equations setup and solved for the correct variable.
and yes, energy is definitely not conserved when the bird was hit but we are asked to assume it is conserved.
I understand. In any case, the understanding which allows you to take shortcuts will also allow you to solve the question in whichever way you'd like to. And in this case, the basic energy equations are used in each of them, I just choose to sidestep kinematics.
I don't understand how energy can even be assumed to be conserved upon impact with the bird. Especially since the question states that the ball drops immediately after the impact, strongly suggesting an inelastic collision.
However, I do sympathize with your exam being tomorrow, and I understand that it cannot always be about the deep understanding, sometimes you just have to get sh*t done haha.
So in light of that, your answer to the first question is correct at 15.32 m/s (but the question asks you for velocity, you have just stated a speed. Don't forget to add that it's in the x-direction).
The second question asks you for the maximum height. How I would go about this is as follows: We know that the x-component of velocity does not play a role in the height. You've chosen to use a kinematic equation, and have ended up with a peculiar answer of 25.25 metres. At the maximum height, all of the initial kinetic energy from the y-component of velocity has been transferred to potential energy. Therefore you should have a simple
mgh = 1/2 m (Vinitial)^2, in which you could easily solve for h. Do you understand this? Make sure that you know that the initial velocity is only the
As for the third question, which is apparently up for debate, I am going to assume it is an inelastic equation because I do not see a way to proceed in the case that energy is conserved. It asks you to find the speed right before it hits the ground, and these are the conclusions I will make before I try to calculate
-The ball collides with the bird when the y-component of velocity is 0
-The ball loses all x-component velocity upon impact (it falls straight down)
From these conclusions, I can only think one thing. This question could be simplified to, "What is the speed of a ball being dropped from the maximum height (from question 2) at the instant before it hits the ground."
Do you have any qualms with that interpretation of the question?

Study looks at how to better train the canine nose
Back in December, I wrote about a lawsuit that questioned the abilities of drug and bomb sniffing dogs. With no concrete standards or training protocols, some studies were showing that the canine nose is not always reliable. Since then, I've been eager to see more research in this area. We know that the canine nose is extraordinary, but I think we just have to find the best way to train and...

The broken jaw was suffered over a decade ago, courtesy of a kicking horse, and the broken leg was a result of an unplanned exit from the back of a pick-up truck a couple of years after that.

How Does the Loss of a Dog Impact the Wellbeing of other Dogs in the Household?

Franks POV
{{Frank's POV;}}
Frank waited on the hospital bed while Gerard was in the bathroom getting dressed. The only reason Gerard did it in the bathroom was for the mirror. "Come on you drama queen! Everyone's waiting for us!" Frank called impatiently. Gerard finally walked out looking exactly like he did when he went in only he had on black jeans and a sloppy shirt this time. "About time." Frank said getting up. "You all set?" Gerard went back into the bathroom and examined his face over in the mirror. Frank rolled his eyes.
"You still look like shit, now come on!"Frank pestered Gerard. Gerard finally gave up and went back to Frank. With a smile, Frank wrapped his arms around Gerard's waist. "I don't know...I think I liked the gown better." He teased Gerard.
"Then you put it on and lay in that bed for a week with random drugs pumping into you and a pestering hot guitarist on you twenty four seven sucking every ounce of breath from your lungs as well as the energy from your body." Gerard said pulling Frank's hood over his head.
"Doesn't sound half bad. " Frank said with amusement when Gerard pushed him away and headed for the door. Laughing, Frank wrapped his arms around Gerard again preventing him from leaving. "I would rather have a hot singer on me though than a hot guitarist."
"Not now Frankie." Gerard said to Frank, pulling his arms off him again and leaving the room. Frank didn't know what was wrong with Gerard but he didn't feel like finding out so he just followed him to where everyone was waiting.
"Finally!" Ray said when he spotted them.
"I couldn't get him away from the mirror." Frank said with amusement as he walked past Gerard to sit next to Ray. Mikey continued to stare at the tv he was watching. "Hey Mikey." Frank called to him. "What cha watching?" Mikey turned around.
"What?" He said blankly. "Oh, just the news." he said when he realized what was going on.
"Anything good on?" Gerard asked.
"Nah just the boring stuff." He said joining them. "You know, crazed fans ecstatic that Gerard Way is alive and they wait anxiously outside the hospital he was admitted to." Mikey said with a sarcastic smile. Gerard walked to the window and looked out. Mikey was right. A bunch of screaming teens were surrounding the doors, wearing or holding something that read 'MCR' or 'Gerard'.
"Fuck." Gerard mumbled and Frank joined him by the window. "There's no way I'd make it through that crowd." He said. Frank laughed to himself as he examined the situation. He noticed a few people had items that read 'Ferard' as well.
"What the fuck is 'Ferard'?" Frank asked confused.
"You two." Ray said suddenly from behind. Frank fell backwards laughing and Gerard kicked him then left the window and headed for a chair. "So what's the plan?" Ray inquired, stepping over Frank, and following Gerard to sit down. As Frank pulled himself off the ground, still laughing, he looked at Gerard and noticed he was rubbing his arms where the iv and other needles had been. Knowing Gerard didn't like needles, Frank went over to him to take his mind off the scars.
Frank sat on the other side of Gerard and laid his head on Gerard's shoulder, figuring he would be shoved off. Gerard just let him lay there. He was still staring at his arm deep in thought. "It's ok." Frank told him quietly as he pulled Gerard's sleeve back down to hide the marks. "It's over." Gerard seemed to have been snapped back to reality and he looked at Frank for a brief moment. Frank noticed that Gerard's eyes were full of pain. When he looked away, Gerard focused on the wall opposite him and Frank laid his head back down.
"So what is the plan?" He echoed Ray with a heavy sigh. Everyone knew they wouldn't make it out the front door and Gerard was too weak to be hassled by a bunch of deranged teenagers.
"Well I'll drive you back." Frank offered trying to help.
"Can we trust you?" Mikey suddenly spoke. "I want my brother to get home sometime this year and based on your two's week, I don't know if that will happen." Frank had no idea why Mikey was suddenly treating him so harshly. They had always gotten along just fine. It wasn't like he didn't know Gerard and Frank really cared about each other. The two would always goof off at shows and it never seemed to bother Mikey so he wasn't sure why it suddenly was.
"What the fuck is your problem all of a sudden Mikey?" Frank suddenly shot at him. "You've been after me ever since I told you he wasn't dead, no matter how much you wouldn't believe me! And look! He's fucking alive!" Frank snapped.
"And you haven't left his fucking side! I've hardly got to see him since I tracked you down since you wouldn't fucking tell me where you were keeping him!" Mikey yelled. People began to look at them as Frank stood up and stared at Mikey. He was really pissed off now and his veins pulsed with anger.
"Hey you two! Calm down!" Bob told them loudly. Both just ignored him and continued their feud.
"When I got here he was barely breathing and he looked like he was in so much pain that I could barely look at him myself! The fucking doctors told me they didn't think he would last the night! I didn't tell you where we were because I didn't want you to see him suffering just incase!" Bob opened his mouth to speak but Frank yelled at him before anything came out. "Fuck off Bob!"
"And what if he did die? Don't you think I would want to be here with him? He's my fucking brother and you have no right keeping him from me!" Mikey yelled at Frank.
"I have just as much right to him as you do! He means as much to me, if not more, as he does to you!" That's when it happened. Mikey suddenly balled his hand into a fist and slammed it into Frank's face. Frank fell backwards as he felt warm blood pour from his nose.
"Dude! What the fuck Mikey?" Ray suddenly yelled as he bent down to Frank to make sure he was ok. Frank held his sleeve to his nose as a nurse quickly ran over to him with a bunch of tissues. He thanked the nurse and replaced his sleeves with the tissues then stood up. Ray held onto his arm to make sure he could keep his balance but Frank sharply pulled away from Ray's grip. Bob held Mikey to prevent him from attacking Frank again.
"I don't know what the fuck your problem is Mikey, but I'm through." Frank said coldly to Mikey and began to walk away. He told the nurse he would be fine and thanked her again for the tissues as he headed for the back parking lot where his car was. He heard Gerard and Ray call to him to stop but he ignored them and kept walking. Mikey wanted him gone so he was leaving. He already was losing his wife now he was leaving his love and friends so he figured his life had been ruined and nothing really mattered anymore. It was the icing on the cake. He had managed to completely destroy his life in a less a little over a week and a half. Frank shoved the door open and headed for his car where he got in the driver's seat and cranked the chair back, holding the tissues tightly to his nose and softly crying.

A little about me...
Well to start off money is the least of things I find important, I have never really had enough so I have decided that in my next life I would like to come back very wealthy instead of good looking. I did win the coveted award of being voted the most butt ugly with a face only a mother could love. My dad always liked to point out the fact that love had little to do with my birth since I was more or less a 30 day furlough. No problem my mom still loved me. I place a very high value on truth and honesty so If you have something you thank I need to hear than tell me. For the most part I am rather laid back but I honestly do have a temper since my dads side is German (Waggoner), Grandmother was Irish (Michales) and last but not least my Granddad was Scottish (McLaughlin). I have truly mellowed over the years. I love to laugh and enjoy even making myself the brunt of my jokes. I like to watch people and can laugh at a stranger for no real reason. My life is still pretty well based on most things being black and white, comes from 32 years as a police officer, I am retired and have been for the past 12 years and thought I had pretty well left that attitude behind but according to my kids not so.
About the one I'm looking for...
I would wish my partner would be understanding and accepting me for who I am and allow me to be me as I would want her to be her crazy quirks and all. I would also like for her to share some of the things I like as I would be willing to share things she might like even going dress shopping (tell me I have not mellowed in my old age).
I'd just like to add...
My hobbies are my ferrets and of course "Rufus" my pet Hairless dumbo rat. I have 9 ferrets, it was 10 but I lost "Fuzzybutt" recently to old age. These guys and gals are my family and I love them dearly. I love most all animals with the exception of snakes. I was bitten by a non poison snake when I was younger so they are not my favorite animal. I also like most cats but find it hard to be around them, they make me sneeze. My youngest son (22) new wife of 2 years is expecting and I am very excited for them. He is trying to get into the army, his sister was in the Navy and spent some time in Iraq so he wants to follow in her foot steps.

As a cognitive educator and small business owner helping people suffering from ptsd, my knowledge and research came together last week when I learned that ptsd sufferers are 200 times more likely to develop physical disease and premature death. There is undisuted research that indicates this evidence. Of course if you visit the WRRC and paticipate in our introductions then you would think that I should have known the dangers of cortisol, adrenaline, and ACTH which is the hormone mixture that gives you incredible strength and speed for the fight or flight response to a life threatening stressor. Anyway too much of ACTH causes physical and neurological diseases associated with unmanaged stress. On that note i wantto invite you to take a deep breath and during the exhaled face say a comforting or relaxing word too yourself and watch the results.

In case you haven't noticed, Major League Baseball is gingerly dipping its big toe into political waters.
Three weeks ago, the MLB sponsored "Civil Rights Weekend," which in Atlanta included a tribute to Hank Aaron. Festivities include an unscheduled condemnation from Mexico-born (and U.S. citizen) Carlos Santana, who criticized Georgia's new illegal immigration law.
This afternoon, the Atlanta Braves announced that next Tuesday, Flag Day, will be a celebration of President Ronald Reagan's 100th birthday: The first 10,000 fans to arrive at Turner Field will be presented with Reagan's favorite treat — jelly beans.
The day will also feature this video tribute:
And instead of Ludacris, music will come courtesy of country singer Tim Dugger. And — oh, yeah – the New York Mets will provide nine (or more) innings of entertainment.

MUNLY AND THE LUPERCALIANS Petr and the Wulf (Alternative Tentacles)
Munly J. Munly has long been one of the most enigmatic yet prolific figures of the Denver Music scene. And with his latest lineup, concept band The Lupercalians, he's tapped into a treasure trove of possibility. Ostensibly the first of a series of albums focusing on the imaginary world of the "Kinnery of Lupercalia," Petr and the Wulf is a dark retelling of the Prokofiev children's symphony, whose characters are trapped by circumstance and each other in a deadlocked circle of vengeance and fear.

Edwardian Ball 2011: a journey into the abyss, the unknown, the festering macabre just inches from the surface of everyday society. You know what it is to which we refer -- where the hell are these people getting their costumes? The truly creative -- the guy whose head was encased in a glass globe filled with swimming goldfish counts and DJ Miz Margo's eye-gouged baby doll stunner among them -- surely made their own, but a trek beneath the ball's crowded main floor revealed the secrets behind the mystery behind the enigma.

Dear Readers:
The subject of size-discordant couples is a perennial favorite and will only get more so until such time as we Americans fulfill our apparent destiny and become a nation of like-size giants in height and girth. Until then, though, making a couple's ends meet will continue to be an issue and a puzzlement. Pillows, ramps, and wedges sold expensively as sex pillows and less appealingly but more affordably at medical-device emporia will do but many couples would rather eschew such artifice and stick with the basics. First, short woman, tall man.Read more »

B3 Impertinent Question: And so we have a timely test for the new mayor and the four new supervisors. Will they support good consumer and environmental legislation, setting a major national precedent, or will they do a Newsom and go with the Chamber of Commerce and Big Pharma lobbyists from Washington, D.C., dispatched to City Hall to kill this bill?
Mayor Lee and Big Pharma
EDITORIAL A piece of simple, logical legislation that would protect San Francisco consumers, public safety, and the environment appears headed for the desk of Mayor Ed Lee — and his signature would be the first clear sign that he's not going to let powerful lobbyists (or the legacy of Gavin Newsom) guide his decisions.
The bill, by Sup. Ross Mirkarimi, would establish several secure places where people can drop off unused, unwanted, or expired pharmaceuticals for safe disposal. It seems so simple: every year, huge amounts of prescription meds are flushed down toilets or left around in medicine cabinets or drawers in the city. As much as one-third of all medicine purchased in the country is never used. The stuff that goes down the drain already has had a proven impact on aquatic life; the pills that never get thrown away are a hazard, particularly in households with small children. Read more »

In the three weeks since Chris Daly left the Board of Supervisors, the bar he bought – Buck Tavern, to be renamed Daly's Dive next month – has become a popular place for progressives to commiserate and conspire with one another. And many of them plan to gather there this evening for the State of the Union speech by President Obama, who has been a disappointment to many leftists.
"The good news is for this year's State of the Union, we have a pub, we'll be serving the hard stuff, and the faithful might need that," said Daly, who will be behind the bar.Read more »
It seems that whenever I go to the circus, I leave the show wanting to join the circus. And I'm not talking about the desire to perfect my juggling skills or become an expert in improvised clowning. My circus ambitions lie in the urge to become a trapeze artist. That should be pretty easy, right?
If you happened to see the Circus Center's New Pickle Circus this past weekend at the Jewish Community Center, you probably left the show with the same feeling.
Today's Look: Jane, 16th Street and Valencia
The supervisors will hear a recommendation from the Rules Committee Jan. 25th to appoint Richard Johns to a seat on the Historic Preservation Commission. These things typically aren't that controversial -- but there will probably be a fight over this one.

A preview of new German and Austrian restaurants
Though I have more than a few food obsessions, there's something about authentic food and wine from the Germanic countries that comforts me on a profound level. Maybe it's my German Miller (or Mueller) family heritage on my Dad's side or the satisfying straightforwardness of dishes like dumplings or sauerkraut. Either way, there's not enough food around from that region as far as I'm concerned. So it is with great delight I witness the opening of two unique restaurants. Read more »

Everyone knows that Nirvana ended in April of 1994 with the death of Kurt Cobain... well except for a dumb Virginia Tech student/team mascot. The student who is in the running for the very important position of Homecoming Queen reached out to Sub Pop - Nirvana's one time record label, asking if the band could record a homecoming message for her and the school, to help win the title of Homecoming Queen. Here is the letter she sent...
Needless to say... this chick doesn't know who Nirvana are. She refers to them as "her" once. Moron. Plus, she asks the band to send an iPhone when refering to sending an iPhone "video"... anyway though, the guys at Sub Pop sent the girl this video.
And the girl was so happy, she will include it in her entry... YAY!

Why care? Because that means that when we eventually do put Ulduar on farm, it'll be just that much longer that we have to wait for the next raid to come out. Because I'm guessing the next content patch won't be rolling out till after the summer sometime which will probably mean that Ulduar will have, I'm guessing, at least 6 months of people the top end raid with very little else to do in addition to it.

On Thursday, March 19, I went to the opening round NCAA tournament games in Portland, Oregon. I got to see the #5 vs. #12 and #4 vs. #13 games from two different regions. The overwhelming conclusion that I came away with was that these this should be a 16 team tournament.
The #5 seeds - Illinois and Purdue - have no shot at winning this thing. Obviously Illinois proved that by losing to Western Kentucky. The #4's, Washington and Gonzaga, have a snowball's chance, but no better. Either of them will have to go on an improbable "get every break" type of run to finish in the top 8, let alone 2. These are the teams that should be vying for a secondary, NIT-like, title.
I thoroughly enjoyed watching four consecutive basketball games, with blessings from (and sitting next to) my spouse, but ultimately, I wasn't watching championship basketball. Like the football bowl system where 34 teams end their season with a loss, it seems fun until you realize that 64 of the top 65 teams in the country (theoretically) end their seasons with a loss. For many, that is not a hardship. They make a decent showing, go a couple of rounds before bowing out, and move on. But for a number of mid-majors - including the teams I saw: Northern Iowa, Mississippi State, or Akron - one and done could be counter-productive and actually hurt recruiting. Even Western Kentucky's win over Illinois will ring somewhat hollow when they come crashing to earth (and they will) when the slipper gets too tight and they don't get the breaks and the shots don't fall and they go back to Bowling Green with a huge dose of reality - good, not great. These are the teams who deserve a tournament where they have a shot. Let Western Kentucky play, and beat, the Illinois of the world. We know what will happen if they were to run into UConn, Pitt, UNC, etc.
64 Teams is Madness!

Prediction: 3 times more investors than owner-occupants
New survey finds significant investor interest in buying homes, and many don't expect to pay all cash. They're not planning quick flips, either.
Who is planning to buy homes in the next two years?
Already a significant share of people buying homes today, investors will be three times as active as conventional homebuyers in the near future, according to a new survey by Move.com.
"This data suggests today's climate is hot for investing and is attracting a lot of new people that don't fit the stereotypical deal-driven flippers that buy and sell properties quickly," Move Chief Executive Officer Steve Berkowitz said in a news release.
According to the survey, 50% of the prospective real-estate investors plan to hold their properties for five or more years, and only 11% expect to sell within a year of their purchase.
Though all-cash buyers make up a significant percentage of those buying homes today (31% in April), 75.5% of investors expect to borrow at least some of what they need. The survey didn't indicate how they'd accomplish that, but 57% of those surveyed said finding financing is a challenge.
Post continues below video
The investors expect the problems that conventional homebuyers are having getting mortgages will help them compete for the best properties.
"The fact that most real-estate investors plan on combining cash and credit for their purchases goes against the conventional wisdom that investor transactions today are mostly cash-only sales," Berkowitz said.
The survey echoes the findings of a poll by Econohomes, which reported in March that small investors were playing a key role in the market. "Our overriding conclusion from this report is that small, local investors are a critical ingredient in the recipe to solve the housing crisis and stabilize the economy as a whole," Econohomes concluded.
Here are some other findings of the Move.com survey on investors:
- 22% expect prices to rise in the next six to 12 months, 23% expect prices to fall and 53.5% expect prices to remain about the same.
- 59% are new to real-estate investing, and only 36.5% have made more than one purchase.
- 65.7% don't expect repair costs to exceed 20% of the purchase price.
- 48% expect a profit of 20% or more from their investment, or a 4% annual return over five years.
- 27% plan to buy a personal residence as their first investment.
- 30% are interested in buying retirement property as an investment.
Thursday, May 26, 2011 9:37 AM?
22% expect prices to rise in the next six to 12 months, 23% expect prices to fall and 53.5% expect prices to remain about the same.I wonder what that 22% thinks now, after these last 2 weeks. Increasing unemployment isn't going to be leading to higher real estate prices in the short term.
Yes, investor buying is an absolute reality. Why? Because the minute a house is on the foreclosure list it is advertised by a plethora of real estate websites. Not only local real estate companies but foreign, as well. The result is that houses in my area are being snatched up sight unseen. Who are my neighbors going to be? No clue. I hope they are of my cultural and religious beliefs. One thing I am certain of is that somebody is making a fortune of these sales.

Utah Sen. Lee wants to see memos on drone attacks on Americans
By Matt Canham
| The Salt Lake Tribune
First Published Mar 06 2013 01:06 pm
Last Updated May 31 2013 11:32 pm
Washington • Sen. Mike Lee pressed Attorney General Eric Holder for access to secret legal memos on the nation's drone program, part of a bipartisan effort in the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday.
In particular, the senators want to review memos that show the Obama administration's justification for using drones to kill suspected terrorists who are U.S. citizens.
"I have heard the committee express the desire to see these memoranda, and I will — let me be careful here — but I will bring that to the attention of the appropriate people within the administration," Holder said in response to Lee. "I am not unsympathetic to what you are saying."
Lee, R-Utah, discussed a leaked white paper obtained by NBC News, which is a truncated version of the administration's drone policy. That white paper said the government can kill a U.S. citizen with a drone strike if he or she is a suspected terrorist who is an "imminent threat" and could not be feasibly captured.
Lee considers the sections "fraught with opportunities for manipulation," particularly the question of the imminence of a threat to national security, which the white paper states does not have to be information about a terrorist attack in the immediate future.
"What does imminence mean if it does not have to involve something immediate?" Lee asked.
Holder said Lee hit on something that is more fleshed out in the undisclosed memos. "It is one of the strongest reasons why the sharing of the advice with this committee makes sense," he said.
President Barack Obama's team has allowed the Senate Intelligence Committee to review the justifications and the president, in his State of the Union address, promised more information.
"In the months ahead, I will continue to engage Congress to ensure not only that our targeting, detention and prosecution of terrorists remains consistent with our laws and system of checks and balances but that our efforts are even more transparent to the American people and to the world," he said.

Experts in Lubbock say the 2003 economy is looking good. They say the South Plains job market will remain stable. This means the unemployment rate should continue to stay around 3% to 4%. The city's economic success has been attributed in part to Lubbock's large number of individual business owners.
Worksource Executive Director, Mary Ann Rojas says she's optimistic about the future of our economy. She says, "We benefit tremendously from people in outlying areas coming to Lubbock to shop and of course you've heard it said time and time again that this entire area benefits from the services that we offer and that are offered in rural communities too."
Rojas says other Texas cities like Austin and Dallas are not so lucky. Although these cities create 8 out 10 jobs in Texas, their layoff rate is three to four times as fast.
