The Girl Scout Gold Award is the highest award that a Girl Scout 14-18 may earn. For many, the leadership skills, organizational skills, and sense of community and commitment that come from "going for the Gold" set the foundation for a lifetime of active citizenship. Colleges, employers, and the military look favorably upon applicants with this credential. Someone once described the Girl Scout Gold Award as being "what you really want to be remembered for" in Girl Scouting. Last year's Gold Award Ceremony was held Sunday, June 3, 2012, at Creekside Banquet Facility in Cheektowaga.

I did say "increase" and not "bulk up". As that suggests, if you were to press your finger into steeb's muscles they wouldn't spring back like normal muscles but would instead crumble immediately at your touch like a fucked-through meringue. Does he care? No. He's just going to close that hole with more bogus "reps". Sickening
must have been all those selfies you posted. sure got me thinking "there must be something better to have sex with than a human being if that's what a human being can fucking look like"
are you seriously trying to pretend like "nonhuman sex partners" doesn't autocomplete in your Bing bar. are you trying to pretend that this is your first rodeo. are you trying to pretend that this is the first rodeo you've been kicked out of for trying to Fuck

Anatomy of the Endocrine System
The following are integral parts of the endocrine system:
The hypothalamus is located in the brain, near the optic chiasm. It secretes hormones that stimulate or suppress the release of hormones in the pituitary gland, in addition to controlling water balance, sleep, temperature, appetite, and blood pressure.
pineal body
The pineal body is located below the corpus callosum, a part of the brain. It produces the hormone melatonin.
The pituitary gland is located at the base of the brain. No larger than a pea, the gland controls many functions of the other endocrine glands.
thyroid and parathyroids
The thyroid gland and parathyroid glands are located in front of the neck, below the larynx (voice box). The thyroid plays an important role in the body's metabolism. Both the thyroid and parathyroid glands also play a role in the regulation of the body's calcium balance.
The thymus is located in the upper part of the chest and produces T-lymphocytes (white blood cells that fight infections and destroy abnormal cells).
adrenal gland
The pair of adrenal glands are located on top of both kidneys. Adrenal glands work hand-in-hand with the hypothalamus and pituitary gland.
The pair of kidneys are located near the middle of the back, just below the rib cage. The kidneys process the blood to sift out waste products and extra water. This waste and extra water becomes urine, which is stored in the bladder.
The pancreas is located across the back of the abdomen, behind the stomach. The pancreas plays a role in digestion, as well as hormone production.
A female's ovaries are located on both sides of the uterus, below the opening of the fallopian tubes (tubes that extend from the uterus to the ovaries). In addition to containing the egg cells necessary for reproduction, the ovaries also produce estrogen and progesterone.
A male's testes are located in a pouch that hangs suspended outside his body. The testes produce testosterone and sperm.

Be a Beach Babe
Written on July 28, 2010 at 8:00 am , by Fitness Magazine
Shoshanna Gruss designs swimsuits. But not just any swimsuit. Her bikinis and one-pieces are created to adapt to every women's figure and fit like a glove (read: no wave mishaps!). We sat down with the fashionista for her tips on looking cool in the heat.
What is the hottest swimsuit trend this season?
A big trend right now is a ruched one-piece. And the best part about this style is that it's flattering on all body types. For curvier figures it offers more support and camouflages trouble spots.
What are your beach bag must-haves?
Lip balm with SPF, a juicy romance novel and Organic Avenue Juice.
What are your top secrets to feeling confident in a bikini?
-After working out so hard and getting your body into bikini shape, take the time to find a suit that will most flatter your newly toned body. Take the time to go into the stores to try on each shape and style so you can feel your best on the beach.
-Get your skin perfectly smooth and hair-free. I LOVE the tools in the new Venus Bikini Kit . It gives me everything I need for a perfect shave from bikini line to toes.
-After shaving I like to use a little self tanner all over to get that healthy summer glow, without the burn.

While you wait... keep this in mind. What can the internet can do for Africa?
The Internet aids Globalization. Internet growth and advancement expedites the trade of goods and services, the flow of capital, and the migration of people across international borders. According to a cover story in Business Week, globalization "has created millions of jobs from Malaysia to Mexico and a cornucopia of affordable goods for Western consumers. It has brought phone service to some 300 million households in developing nations and a transfer of nearly $2 trillion from rich countries to poor through equity, bond investments, and commercial loans. It's helped topple dictators by making information available in once sheltered countries. And now the Internet is poised to narrow the gulf that separates rich nations from poor nations even further in the decade to come." Countries that take advantage of new technologies will exploit opportunities to leapfrog ahead, both technologically and economically.

Sports Fan Insider
DETROIT (WWJ) – Twenty-one years in the playoffs, the most of any active team in sports and the Detroit Red Wings were rewarded with a record crowd at Tuesday's luncheon at the Detroit Economic Club.
WWJ's Sandra McNeill reports that 800 people turned out for the annual luncheon.
Wings Head Coach Mike Babcock told the crowd that he thinks the Wings have the best chance for a cup that they've had since 2009.
Babcock says the playoffs are exciting and a lot of it has to do with the Detroit fans.
"Well, I think each and every year it's a fun time. Obviously, with the economic situation in Detroit being better – there is a better crowd downtown anyway and that is a positive thing," said Babcock.
There were a few light moments during the lunch. Henrik Zetterberg said if he couldn't play hockey, he'd like to play golf … but he's not very good, he admits.
And when Pavel Datsyuk was asked for advice for young players he said … that's a tough thing to answer sober.

You are amazing girl! I loved all your creative ideas!
I saw your ideas on Studio 5 for the 12 days of Christmas and thought it would be fun to do with my extended family, but the link to the things to buy is not working. Could you please repost them on your blog? Thanks!
I updated the post. The shopping list is right above where you download the tags. Hope that helps!
This sounds interesting, but the information on what to do/how to do it is not available anymore. Any way I could see it again? Thanks!
Cute idea - thanks for the printables!
This is a cute idea! Thank you for sharing...Merry Christmas :)
What a great idea! Do you give these all to one family, or did you spread them out between several families?
The 12 days of Christmas are between Christmas and the Epiphany.

If you own very new devices, it could transfer data up to 3x faster than your existing router, but depending on what you own now, you may want to wait to upgrade. Read More >

My favorite talk show host is John Batchelor, whose often expressed, playful worry is that he isn't being cynical enough.

The crafting of quality alcoholic beverages used to be done with pride in the United States, but even after prohibition was wisely lifted, the rationing imposed by necessity during the Second World War again waylaid the quality of the wine and spirits that Americans both consumed and created. This is most evident in American beers, as coming out of the war Americans had developed a taste for the types they had to drink in the times of hardship and rationing.
This meant that after the war brewers continued to brew their beers in the manner that had become commercially appealing. And for a few decades thereafter, other attempts at making beers that were more like the old-world-influenced beers died without fanfare. But this all changed with the rise of micro brewers beginning in the early 1990s and what became known as the craft brewing movement led by such brewers as the Boston Beer Company, better known for their flagship Samuel Adams beer, as well as by lesser known, though more important, Anchor Brewery in San Francisco who would also play a large part in the revival of Rye whiskey.
While beer makers were shedding the bland taste of the past, and climbing into a more flavorful and diverse future, so too American distilleries were climbing out from the woodwork to try to return to the whiskeys of old. But strangely enough it wasn't a distillery at all but a brewer who would try to revive the oldest of all American sprits.
There are many aspects of George Washington's personality that have been explored in depth by historians, but a new type of archeological excavation was underway to learn exactly the type of spirit he distilled in the eighteenth century. This excavation, so to speak, was started by Fritz Maytag of Anchor Brewery, who, as fate would have it, was also an integral part of the micro brew revolution in the 90s.
Maytag, heir to the washing machine legacy, purchased the distressed Anchor Brewery in 1965 for the price, he says, "of a used car." He immediately set to increasing the beer's quality, and, in the early 70s moved to a larger location in San Francisco, the breweries ancestral home. But for Maytag the story would not end with good beer. In the early 90s he and his brewery also began experimenting with Rye Whiskey. As Maytag explains, Rye whiskey was America's first whiskey, and was the spirit of choice for colonists on the eastern seaboard. Bourbon was a western flavor that was distilled from the corn they had there in abundance. But Rye was the choice of the colonists.
As Maytag began the process of making Rye whiskey in the old way, he also discovered that in Washington's time the oak barrels used for aging the spirits were not charred as whiskey barrels are by law today. The process was not invented until the next century. Instead the barrels would only have been toasted. So with an eye to authenticity, Maytag began to have toasted oak barrels made to age his whiskey in. Subsequently, this eighteenth century style whiskey cannot be called Rye as Rye must be aged in charred oak barrels.
Another oddity of the brand is that the Rye whiskey which they produce under the name Old Potrero, is pot distilled, like scotch, and is made from 100% Rye malt. At the time, they were the only distillery to make a whiskey from 100% Rye. Maytag did this on the theory that the colonists, like the Scottish whisky producers they emulated, would have malted only a single grain. With the Scottish that grain was barley, but with the young American colonists that grain was Rye.
Finally after years of experimentation Anchor Brewery perfected their single malt Rye whiskey and has been releasing its Old Potrero 18th Century Style Whiskey to great acclaim for years now. Their entrance into the world of whiskey has helped increase not only the quality of our native spirits but also its diversity, only, and despite the fact that Old Potrero 18th century is made of 100% Rye, don't call it Rye.

Wow. Wow. Wow. This is eight minutes of your life well-spent. Watch twice for extra GRR.
The Buddhists are taking away freedom of religion and making everyone follow theirs?
Jill Stein calls it
So I just got this email from Green Party Presidential Candidate Jill Stein:
Our last budget decisions are being made now — can you help?
What we're doing here has always been improbable.
We're going up against some of the most powerful interests in American politics, and they are outspending us on the air in nearly every battleground state right now. This week alone, they're spending $200 million against us on the air.
And yet we still refuse to rely on outside groups, Washington lobbyists, or special-interest PACs to do the hard work for us. Our campaign is built by millions of ordinary Americans each doing their small part, one person at a time.
That's not the easy way to win elections, but that's what we do — because it's the right way to do it.
The outcome of this race is not yet known. And this is the moment we all must decide how much we can give before the chance to make a difference is gone.
The campaign is making final budget decisions based on the resources we have at midnight tonight.
If you've waited until the last minute to give, this is the moment. This is the last time I'll ask you.
Donate $5 or more today:
As always, thank you.
p.s. - if this fundraising appeal seems familiar to you, it should. It is the exact same message that the Obama campaign sent to their lists earlier today, with one major difference: In this case, everything in the message is absolutely true. Alone among the four national campaigns, our campaign is not supported by "outside groups, Washington lobbyists, or special-interest PACs." The truth about the other campaigns, including the incumbent's, is available courtesy of Open Secrets.
See for yourself: http://www.opensecrets.org/pres12/summary_active.php
From a black man to Mitt Romney: Fuck you. Black people don't want free shit, you out of touch Dr. Reed Richards hair having motherfucker.
We want the same shit that your white constituency wants: Opportunity, good schools, safe streets, JOBS, a house that doesn't fucking double and triple in interest rate while the value plummets, a place to shit with a door on it and the ability to not be denied coverage when we have a medical problem. We're no different than anybody else but you wouldn't know that because the only black person you probably know personally you just happen to be running against him for president.
I'm tired of these piece of shit Republicans talking DOWN and whitesplaining to people of color AS IF they had it hard all their lives. NO Mitt Romney, you never had to worry about the price of milk ever in your fucking life. You were raised with a silver spoon in your mouth and your father probably owned a silver spoon factory.
If you were really in touch, you'd talk about JOBS because we have a 14% unemployment rate in the black community but your party couldn't pass a fart through cotton much less a fucking jobs bill. You'd talk about the safety net but we all know that you and Rand Paul are looking to take a pair of comically large shears to that motherfucker.
Instead you walk in front of the NAACP and talk PAST them and your message hits your goddamn racist, sexist, homophobic, bible thumping, hate ridden, against their own interest base that ignores when we spend half a million on cruise missiles but complain when they see somebody cashing an unemployment check that happens to own an iPhone. FUCK YOU.
I have a goddamn question for you, Willard:
What about your perpetually poor white voters in states like West Virginia, Mississippi, Missouri and Louisiana that vote for you even though you give no fucking care about them. As long as you hammer on how black Obama is, how the liberals want to shoot their white women with abortion guns and the fact that gays want to marry your children they'll continue voting for you. They staff your fucked up infantry and you've spent the past 60 years brainwashing them into thinking they deserve to get welfare checks but the second black people get them, it's a problem.
Fuck you and your face. Fuck your hair. Fuck your party. Fuck Newt Gingrich and fuck the whole conservative movement that has allowed their side to turn into this giant self-eating mutated blob.
Partake in the finest selection of horse penises.
http://jezebel.com/5925651/comment-of-the-day-mitt-romney-can-partake-in-the-finest-selection-of-horse-penises (via super-brother)
This shit is awesome.
(via aokp)
He's honest about it. I'll give him that.
not voting is not making a statement
so if you don't vote and mitt romney wins
it's on you.
Some of us can't stomach the idea of voting for a murderer. Yes, that's what the hit list and drone strikes are. I see the "feminism" tag. How feminist is it to shoot a bunch of women and girls out gathering firewood?
Any VOTE that is not a VOTE for ROMNEY WILL be an OBAMA VOTE.
Any VOTE that is not a VOTE for ROMNEY WILL be an OBAMA VOTE. You will be part of the 2 percent of people giving OBAMA another 4 years to destroy America & the CONSTITUTION! Forget the economy… this is 1000% times worse! YOU WILL NOT RECOGNIZE this country if OBAMA remains in charge. Educate yourself. Vote for Romney. You will not make a point. You will only help dig the GRAVE of AMERICA. You have to pick a side. A vote for the green party or Ron Paul or any other than Romney will be a complete waste.
This is hilarious! As if members of the Green Party, which is made up of actual liberals and I'm sure quite a few socialists, would have Romney as their alternative vote! HAHAHAHAHA Right. Sure.
Does this person not realize that the concern people have about the Green Party is the possibility of spoiling for Obama and letting Romney win?
It's not like anyone far enough left to snub Obama as a conservative (hi! that's me!) would vote for a conservative extremist like Romney if they were vote to the right of their values.
(I mean, I can sort of see where the guy's coming from since 538 basically says Romney's got a snowball's chance in Hell, but…)
The Simpsons makes fun of voter ID since, you know, voter fraud doesn't exist.

Discovery Fit & Health
People know their inner thoughts and emotions, but most people lack the ability to judge whether they possess desirable and undesirable characteristics. When it comes to traits like intelligence, goodness and attractiveness, others may know us much better than we know ourselves. That doesn't mean our friends are experts on us -- we often overestimate how much people can tell about our inner thoughts and emotions. For example, you may be scared to death on a first date, but you probably have the ability to mask most of your nervous energy. But when it comes to an objective point of view on how you present yourself, then your closest friends may be the authorities.
The acceptance that we may not know ourselves as well as others sometimes do is one of the arguments used in designing tests to measure emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence is the ability a person has to identify, understand, express and appropriately control his or her emotions. It also refers to the ability to recognize and understand others' emotions. The concept is being used not only in psychology but by organizations in making hiring, promotion and team-building decisions. Some tests rely completely on self-reporting, and others use information from the person's self-reporting and from others who know him or her.
Being self-aware is part of emotional intelligence -- we each need to know how our emotions and resulting behaviors and actions appear to and affect others before we can regulate those emotions. Psychologists have studied humans' self-awareness and self-esteem for years, and in the past few decades, there has been renewed interest in the self and personal well-being. These more recent theories have found that children often build self-concepts based on how they judge others perceive them [source: Emory University].
Could it be that our concerns about how others judge us warp our perceptions to extremes? A survey of thousands of college students found that they overestimated their grade averages and were overconfident, believing they could accomplish more -- and do things better -- than they really could. They also would feel let down when they found out the grades they ranked as above average really were at or below average [source: Irvine].

LAS VEGAS -- Mixed martial arts may be enjoying rapid growth but it is also experiencing growing pains when it comes to judging.
For the third card in a row, the UFC found itself frustrated and somewhat on the defensive Saturday night after Forrest Griffin won a split decision over Tito (The Huntington Beach Bad Boy) Ortiz at UFC 106 in a matchup of former light-heavyweight champions.
The judges were as much up for discussion as the main event fighters.
The Griffin-Ortiz fight was close, with Ortiz dominating in the early going and Griffin rallying to take control in the end. But where eyebrows were raised was in the all-over-the-map judging.
The final verdict was 29-28, 30-27, 29-28 for Griffin.
Lester Griffin -- no relation -- awarded all three rounds (30-27) to Forrest Griffin while Glenn Trowbridge gave two rounds to Ortiz (28-29) and Marcos Rosales gave two rounds to Griffin (29-28).
"When you watch a fight like this tonight and you hear a 30-27 score, I don't even know, I'm so exhausted by this whole thing," UFC president Dana White said of the judging. "It's tiring, it's terrible, these athletic commissions need to start looking at this and figuring out what they're going to do. It's wrong."
The UFC has no involvement in the judges. That's the domain of local commissions, in this case the Nevada State Athletic Commission.
But judging is subjective in any sport and more so in mixed martial arts where judges must follow striking, grappling and jiu-jitsu.
MMA judges look for effective striking, effective grappling, Octagon (ring) control, effective aggression and effective defence.
The sport is full of questions.
Do you reward the fighter who takes his opponent down, even if he doesn't do any damage on the ground? Do you favour the fighter trying for the submissions or the opponent defending them?
MMA is judged on boxing's 10-point must system, meaning the winner of the round gets 10 points and the loser gets nine or less. Usually it's nine points unless a fighter is dominated, in which case he may only get eight points.
The first round was Ortiz's and Griffin was dominant in the third. Two of the three judges gave Griffin the second.
"The fight could have gone either way," said White, who called the 30-27 score "outrageous" and "insane."
White urged anyone interested to call Keith Kizer, executive director of the Nevada commission, to "ask him `What can we do to fix this: judging and scoring.' It has nothing to do with me."
Because of the number of events it oversees, the Nevada commission is considered a leader in the sport. Recent improvements it has instituted include instant replay to help referees review hits that end fights, in case of low blows or head-butts among other things.
The commission also reacted to greasing allegations following Canadian Georges St. Pierre's win at UFC 94 to add illegal substances to its list of MMA fouls.
Ortiz complaints aside, people seemed split over Saturday's night's winner.
And the debate over the Ortiz-Griffin main event will likely pale in comparison to the uproar over light-heavyweight champion Lyoto Machida's decision over Mauricio (Shogun) Rua at UFC 104 last month.
All three judges scored it 48-47 or three rounds to two for Machida.
Two of the three judges gave Machida the first three rounds and Rua the last two. The third judge gave the first and fifth rounds to Rua and the middle three to Machida.
White said he and UFC co-owner Lorenzo Fertitta watched the Machida-Rua fight twice when they flew to England for UFC 105, scoring the bout both times.
"We both scored it 4-1 or, worst-case scenario, 3-2 for Shogun (Rua)," said White, who is already planning a rematch, likely May 1 in Montreal.
In Manchester, light-heavyweight Randy (The Natural) Couture also benefited from a wafer-thin 29-28 decision over Brandon (The Truth) Vera.
"I thought I won," Vera said after the fight. "I left it all out there. ... I don't know man, I don't know."
"Thanks, judges," he added sarcastically.
Said Couture: "It was a close fight . . . I agree that it could have went either way. I wouldn't have been terribly disappointed had the decision went the other way."
Ortiz sat shaking his head during the UFC 106 news conference
"I'm pissed because I didn't have my hand raised at the end. I thought I pulled it off," complained Ortiz, who said he had been "robbed."
Said Griffin: "I thought I won the fight."
Still, there was some sense of symmetry since Ortiz won a split decision over Griffin the first time they met at UFC 59 in April 2006. Griffin acknowledged Saturday he thought he had won that fight at the time, but reconsidered after watching it on video.
"Then go home and watch this one too, you'll see the same thing," Ortiz told him.
"Hopefully not," Griffin said.
MMA insiders have discussed coming up with a more adaptable judging system for their sport. But no one has figured it out yet.
Ortiz, when the issue of judging was raised Thursday at the pre-fight news conference, complained that MMA judges are often transplanted boxing officials.
"I watched the last couple of decisions and when fighters like that get robbed, they work so hard to have a win and its left in the hands of judges, who aren't MMA-qualified judges ... I think they should have former fighters in there fighters who know what MMA's really about and not a boxing guy in England."
"I just think the judges need to be more educated," he added.
Like fighters, judges work their way up to the elite tier such as the UFC by learning their trade on smaller circuits.
There are judges with MMA experience. Jeff Mullen, who has judged UFC events, is a former pro kickboxer, for example. He operates a gym called Mullen's Karate Kickboxing and Jiu-Jitsu in Memphis and has been teaching full-time since 1986 and training in martial arts since 1975.
Welterweight Anthony (Rumble) Johnson said Thursday his modus operandi is to keep the judges out of the reckoning.
"Just don't leave it in the judges' hands, you ain't got nothing to worry about. Kill them, knock them out," said Johnson, who tapped out to a Josh Koscheck rear naked choke in the co-main event.
Griffin, the benefactor Saturday night, was also the most understanding at the pre-fight news conference.
"Judging's kind of a tough job," he said. "I wouldn't want to be a judge or a referee. it's subjective.
"I've seen fights live, that Bisping-Hamill fight (UFC 75 between Michael Bisping and Matt Hamill), I saw live, I thought one guy won. I watched it on film, I thought another guy won. I'm just glad I don't have to do it."
A week before his light heavyweight title defence at UFC 172, Jon Jones told TSN.ca that one of the most exciting parts of his career is "just breaking records, you know?" After retaining his title for a record seventh time, it's time to take a look at what the Rochester native has accomplished and ask, is he the best ever? More...

PLAYERS: Dustin Pedroia
TEAMS: Boston Red Sox
TEAMS: Boston Red Sox
The Red Sox apparently have more on their offseason to-do list than to bring in some new faces with their newfound economic flexibility. ESPN.com reports that the Sox are expected to begin talks with second baseman Dustin Pedroia about a long-term contract extension this offseason. According to the report, an extension isn't necessarily imminent — it's expected to be quite a busy offseason for Ben Cherington and Co. — but talks between both sides are expected to begin at some point this winter. Pedroia still has two years remaining on his current contract, a six-year, $40.5 million extension he signed following his MVP season in 2008. The 29-year-old is set to make $10 million in both 2013 and 2014, and there is an $11 million club option for 2015. Pedroia is expected to be one of the cornerstones of the team moving forward, as the Sox look to distant themselves from two disappointing and embarrassing seasons. The second baseman is looking to bounce back himself after a tumultuous s...

WEST LONG BRANCH, N.J. (April 17, 2012) – Junior Pat O'Leary (Sparta, N.J.) pitched a dominant 6.2 innings and classmate Steve Zavala (Randolph, N.J.) had a career-high four RBIs to drive Rutgers University baseball past Monmouth University, 8-1, on Tuesday at the MU Baseball Field. The Scarlet Knights are currently on a season-high five game winning streak and have won eight of the last 11 times out.
The offense exploded for 18 hits to match a season-high also set at Florida Atlantic on March 11. The Scarlet Knights (20-15) additionally matched their win total from last season with 20 regular season games remaining on the schedule.
O'Leary (2-0), in his third start of the season, settled in after allowing a run in the first to work a season-long 6.2 innings with only three hits allowed. The right-hander sat down 17 of 19 hitters at one stretch during the ballgame, improving RU to 16-10 when the starter goes at least five innings.
Five Scarlet Knights had at least two knocks in the game, led by a four-hit day by junior first baseman Bill Hoermann (Toms River, N.J.). Zavala had three of his RBIs with two outs to help the team pull away from Monmouth (22-15), who entered the game 11-2 at home this season.
For the first time in five games, Rutgers scored first with three runs in its initial at bat. Sophomores Brian O'Grady (Warminster, Pa.) and Nick Favatella (Washington Township, N.J.) each singled to start the rally, moving up one base on a base knock by junior Patrick Kivlehan (West Nyack, N.Y.). With two outs, Zavala laced a clean single above the shortstop to score two. Kivlehan then took home when Zavala got caught in a rundown between first and second to give RU a 3-0 early advantage.
The Hawks responded with one score of their own in the bottom of the inning, aided by a catcher's interference.
Hoermann's third hit of the day went for an RBI as sophomore Ross Costello (Egg Harbor Township, N.J.), who doubled to lead off the inning, came around to score with one out to give the Scarlet Knights a three-run lead once again through six innings.
O'Leary left the game with the bases loaded and two outs in the seventh, but junior Charlie Law (Mainland, N.J.) retired the side on one pitch to put out the fire and strand all three base runners. Law worked the final 2.1 innings with three strikeouts to earn his second save in as many games and third overall for the season.
Rutgers broke the game open with three runs on five hits in the top of the eighth inning. Junior Jeff Melillo (Annandale, N.J.) started off with a lined single to center and moved up on a wild pitch. Kivlehan then picked up his second hit of the day to put runners on the corners. The catcher scored on an error for the first run on a ball put in play by Costello and Kivlehan came around on Zavala's third RBI of the day, another single. One batter later, Hoermann drove in Zavala with his fourth line drive to put RU up 7-1.
Zavala notched his fourth RBI with a two-out base hit to bring home Melillo in the ninth inning to set the final score at 8-1.
Jonathan Shippee (3-1) suffered his first loss of the season after allowing four runs in 5.2 innings for Monmouth.
The Scarlet Knights will next head home to take on Lafayette on Wednesday at Bainton Field. First pitch is scheduled for 3 p.m., as right-hander Slater McCue (Radnor, Pa.) will get the start for RU.
Favatella reached base for the 27th-straight game … Melillo extended his hitting streak to 15 games, the longest by a Scarlet Knight this season … O'Leary and Law combined to surrender only four hits, a game season-low … it was Hoermann's sixth game with at least three hits this season … RU avenged a loss to Monmouth in Greenville, N.C. last season … the game was played on a beautiful sunny afternoon perfect for baseball.

Posted by Andy, under INSTRUCTIONAL DIAGRAMS
Now that most of us have made it through the gift-giving bonanza of the holidays, you might be saying to us, "Gee thanks! You could've posted this BEFORE my holiday shoppageddon!" To which our reply would be, "Hey! We were busy buying toys for our kids that we'd regret or suffer through, too!!!"
Plus, even if we had posted this as warning ahead of time, it probably wouldn't have helped much to prevent the parental suckitude of the toys you bought for a couple of reasons: 1) the "features" listed above are cleverly hidden from paying customers and, 2) you still would have bought it for your kid anyway, because we all love the crap out of our kids and do stupid things for them all the time – ten times over on the holidays. It's our job.
As usual, we couldn't fit all of the ways a toy can suck for a parent, so feel free to fill in the gaps and let me know what words I misspelled or left out. Ugh.

Monica says:
Pure Genius! And you are right, getting this information ahead of time prolly would not help. It is amazing how my son who just turned 1 can make my living room a complete disaster area in a matter of seconds once I put him down on the floor with all those new toys. I need police tape to keep back all the visitors without children and a huge copy of this sign as a warning to what they could be walking into.
Thanks! Police tape is a great idea, it really is the scene of a crime. So true about the time, too. Messes travel at the speed of light.
Leigh says:
The part about Hair Trigger Activation brought tears to my eyes. Hilarious. Great post!
Yeppers. That one has brought tears to the eyes of many a parent. Kidding. Ha ha! Glad you liked it.
Christine Heather Taylor says:
Amber B says:
This is all so true! Especially the size part if your buying stuff online! The thing i hate is when you get a toy but you can't forget the other multiple pieces you have to buy to complete the set! (hot wheels wall track!)
Ugh! YES! That missing key component is a killer. Batteries not included is fine, I can blitz out to any ol' store and handle that. But when you buy some armored space transport and it doesn't come with the dude who's supposed to fly that damn thing or some such… FAIL. HOW WILL THE INHABITANTS OF THE DYING PLANET MAKE IT OFF WORLD IN TIME!?!?!?!
Nixxa says:
I worked in the toy aisles over the holiday and the displays for the leap pad thing scared the living daylights out of me when it was dead quiet at 4am. Nothing in the freaking aisle to set the motion sensors off! Then the dolls with sensors a few aisles over started going off.
I believe I found the toys that my nephew's and niece's aren't getting. I'm sticking to fluffy, pliable, noiseless toys from now on.
jetts31 says:
Reconstructing Alien Technology, my favorite. I could after 9years of Christmases with kids, I'm fairly certain I could reverse engineer a UFO.
Ha ha! Aliens don't stand a chance against dads. We're the OG Men in Black, we just wear t-shirt and jeans.
Rick says:
You had me at Maximum Security Packaging.
I actually have a small scar from getting sliced open by the plastic fortress they put some walkie-talkies Cody got for Christmas a few years ago. I now use heavy-duty tools and can openers on those bastards now.
amadea says:
oh andy, these little pointers are all spot-on! couldn't agree more! but i still think the absolute worst is throwing/giving these dear toys away to charity or the mouth of the dumpster simply because the kids have "outgrown" them. eek! i dread this day!
hope you had a great christmas!
I know about the "out-growing dread." I know when it comes time, I'll be inheriting Buzz Lightyear when Lucas gets tired of him. No joke. I won't throw him away.
Elise says:
My nephew has a puzzle at my house that makes sounds when you put the pieces in. Each little puzzle-piece hole has a light sensor, and for some reason, one of the pieces doesn't block out the light well enough, I guess, because I hear it go off at random times. Like 11:30 pm or 4:30 am or something ridiculous like that. Always same sound.
YES!!!!! WE HAVE A PUZZLE LIKE THAT TOO!!!!!!!!!! It's actually THE toy I was inspired by when I wrote about being freaked out in the middle of the night. When it malfunctions and goes off randomly, the sounds it makes are… imagine a duck, except its a baby duck, that's a robot baby duck, now imagine a robot boy strangling that robot baby duck. Awful.
Kerry says:
We had the same puzzle here, too. It was the cow. It sat in our trunk while we got around to getting rid of it (because you have to inflict it on someone else, right? At least then they won't pay top dollar for the privilege). And then our trunk would moo at us.
More recently (since we moved into a house with a more compact kitchen), Farmer Tad's cows and pigs make inappropriate noises whenever I squat down to get something out of the lower cabinet. It's a comment on my butt…in their faces.
But the kid's four, so it's on the high shelf now, while we make sure he doesn't miss it.
Kat says:
Last year about this time, my favorite quote from my kid was uttered as I was trying to get through the Maximum Security Packaging.
He said, "Mom… I fink you should use some scissors. Or a bomb."
That is f##king brilliant!!! Not just as a quote, but as a tactic. I really should try that.
Dad and Buried says:
Wow, this list is pretty dead-on. I just posted something on my blog about the hellish "sound sound sound" aspect of toys, but I neglected to mention the ridiculous packaging that requires a flame-thrower and military training to remove.
Funny stuff!
Emily says:
We don't have a problem with hair trigger activation in my house–we have a problem with toys deciding to go off by themselves in another room when there's NOBODY within a 50 foot radius. Stinky the Talking Garbage Truck was the worst. That stupid thing would scare the shit out of me, and for some reason it always happened when I was watching a scary movie alone in the dark. The kids didn't like it anyway. Biggest waste of $50!
Vadim says:
As Dennis Leary said in his HBO Special:
Don't buy the toys that make the noise!
Soooooooooooooooooo true.
Michaelos says:
Oh wow, I had almost completely put the horrible memories of being on the receiving end of some of those toys out of my memory.
For the toys going off randomly in my childhood it was almost always the wiring in the walls, if you could switch the dimmer switch in the wall at just the right light level it would trigger a certain toy to go off and a few it was just a matter of building up a static charge and going anywhere near them.
That's amazing. Though my parents would have hated such a dimmer switch effect, I would have loved that as a kid. It would have made me feel like a friggin' wizard!
Roxi says:
You forgot to make one for toys we step on that are small and have sharp edges and make you want to go on a rampage throwing toys away forever. Legos, hot wheels, and jacks would all fit in this category.
We got ya coverd! Have a look at this one:
New Hazard Signs for Parents
Fête Foreign says:
With two girls in the house, every toy comes with "accessories". After a while I get tired and the vacuum gets to pick up anything left out in the open. Except for the Playmobil camping car stuff….love that toy!
Ha ha! We all know that crazy rattle crackling of a small action figure's gun, a lego, magnet stamp or such going on a loud, psycho tornado ride inside the vacuum.
Christopher says:
There is a special place (trash) for toys with no OFF button. Its not even kind to donate those–they just need to stop makig them that way. It's one thing to be subjected to the sound sound sound sound, but I want to be able to put the TOY in time out, too.
Niki A says:
I'm a mean mommy, on toys that can take it, I remove the batteries before giving them to my son. The WORST about noisy toys is when the batteries are low and that rocking horse that used to neigh and winnie now sound like its signalling the apocalypse and is going to kill you in the middle of the night.
Jenny says:
YES! You're not mean. You're saving your families sanity. One Possessed toy at a time…
Rachel says:
Memories of babysitting in someone else's house overnight… walking through the house in the dark… toys with sensors sing as I pass…. smashing head on roof…
RyanH says:
I hate, hate, hate "toys with noise". We've had a couple of toys that were possessed by demons–they'd go off in the middle of the night for no reason whatsoever. Used to scare the sh*t out of me. At least they were benevolent demons, I suppose.
Andy says:
But demons nonetheless. It's the worst when you're scared AWAKE. Sleep is precious enough without some battery-deficient Tickle-Me Elmo randomly shimmying and giggling at 3am.

DETROIT, MI (WTVB) - The Tigers smacked three home runs last night against Oakland, including Miguel Cabrera's 43rd of the season, but the A's still beat Detroit 8-to-6 in the opener of a 4-game series at Comerica Park. The loss trimmed the first place Tigers lead in the American League Central to 5-and-a-half games over the idle second place Cleveland Indians, who play tonight at Atlanta.
Going deep last night for Detroit besides Cabrera were Omar Infante and Victor Martinez. The Tigers were never ahead although Infante's two run shot in the second inning tied the game at two and Cabrera's two run blast in the fifth inning made it four-four. Oakland responded right away in the top of the sixth with a pair of runs off Jose Alvarez, who took the loss in relief of starter Anibal Sanchez, who allowed five hits over 5 innings with six strikeouts and 3 walks. Coco Crisp had 3 hits for Oakland with a solo homer and two rbi's.
Justin Verlander goes to the mound tonight for the Tigers against the A's.
The Chicago White Sox fell to the Astros 10-to-8 last night in Chicago while the Cubs lost 6-to-2 to the Dodgers in Los Angeles.

CNET editors choose the best 802.11ac networking devices, including wireless routers.
Despite a few minor shortcomings, the DIR-880L is still one of the best 802.11ac routers on the market.
The DGL-5500 has a lot of potential, but for now isn't worth its high price.
The good-looking D-Link HD Media Router 1000 DIR-657 is a very good router, though it doesn't offer much over the company's previous model, the DIR-655.
Unless you live in a very small home and need a color router to match, skip D-Link's latest DIR-818LW in favor of more powerful options.
The D-Link DIR-827 is a very good true dual-band router that needs a firmware upgrade so it can live up to its potential.
Though not perfect, the D-Link DIR-857 HD Media Router 3000 makes a great router for homes thanks to its top-notch performance on the 5GHz band and a nice set of features.
The unique-looking and compact D-Link Amplifi Whole Home Router 1000 (DIR-645) makes a very good investment for homes that need a fast wired network and good Wi-Fi signal coverage.
The D-Link DIR-868L delivers as an advanced 802.11ac-enabled home router despite its underwhelming mobile apps and usage inflexibility.
The D-Link DIR-865L Wireless AC 1750 Dual Band Cloud Router makes a decent investment thanks to its cloud-based features, support for 802.11ac, and good performance on the 5GHz band.
The D-Link DIR-605L Cloud Router makes a great solution for those who just need a simple wireless network to share the Internet access among devices. Its cloud-based management feature also proves to be a helpful and practical bonus.

What other business applications can Mint offer to the workplace?

REJOICE! for Erdenechimeg Lhasuren!
This amazing story demonstrates how something as simple as offering water bowls can dramatically change a student's life.
By Daria Davaa
Erdenechimeg Lhasuren commenced offering water bowls at Shedrup Ling, FPMT Mongolias's centre in Ulaanbaatar, in 1999. During that time, her life was not going well and she did not earn enough money to feed her children and as a result, her relatives were taking care of them. She has a son and a daughter.
When she started her water bowl offerings, she had to walk to Shedrup Ling everyday because she did not have enough money to take a bus. For the past 11 years she has been offering water bowls in Shedrup Ling's offering room and for the last eight has extended this service to offer water bowls regularly in Lama Zopa Rinpoche's room on the top floor.
When this activity commenced in 1999, Erdenechimeg, together with her Dharma sisters, participated on a roster basis to offer 2,000 waters bowls at Shedrup Ling every day.
These days, Erdenechimeg's life has taken a turn for the better and she is experiencing success in her business and has a much healthier financial situation. She is living happily with and taking care of her own two children and extended family, inclusive of seven children and 10 adults!
Erdenechimeg shares with us that her life success is a result of the accumulation of great merit from the action of the water bowl offering practice. This merit has also enabled her to become one of the most generous benefactors of the Shedrup Ling Centre and Dolma Ling Nunnery.
