Wrangler quality in a slimming cut...
By: kseverna
This Wrangler's cowboy cut is great because it's slimming without making your legs look bulky. There's enough room to move around in, but they're trim and really good looking. Plus, they're Wrangler quality - they'll hold up for years before you have to replace them. I especially like that they're pre washed as well - it's really a shame when you go to wash a pair of new jeans for the first time and they turn all of the other clothes in the wash blue. If you're looking for a new pair of jeans, these are definitely a good choice.

Great Jeans...
By: Gregory
The 47MWZ PW are tough just like they all used to be. I am rough on my jeans and these have held up the best. They also look good so you can use them not only to work in but also as semi formal wear. I would like larger pockets, but in summery, I have not found any other jean which fits as well and lasts like the 47MWZ PW

1967 Turnbull Avenue
Bronx, NY 10473
General Board Meeting
Minutes for December 19th, 2013
The Second Vice Chair called the meeting to order.
Note: 1hr of audio was not recorded.
Public Session
Shaikh Al Mamun: The speaker spoke about students in the Bronx who take the
SAT's are not well prepared and are falling behind compared to the rest of the
nation. The speaker thanked the community board for allowing him to speak about
this issue. A person from the audience asked a question that was inaudible. The
speaker answered saying that usually, individuals in the 11th grade (juniors)
take the SAT's and then 12th graders (seniors) apply to colleges using the
scores from their junior year. The rotary club is offering a program where
students can prepare for the SAT with the funding from the rotary club itself,
not the government's funds. They pay the books and supplies for the student and
it is a 5 weekend program. The location is 1504 Olmstead Avenue (between
Starling Avenue and St. Raymond's Avenue). Another person from the audience
asked a question; if seniors are allowed to partake in the program as well. The
gentlemen responded saying that they do consider seniors as well but there main
focus is juniors. The gentleman also added that the president of the rotary club
might expand the program (not sure) but they are looking for 20 kids for right
now. Ms. Valerie Patterson suggested to the speaker that he should follow up
with the Education & Youth Chairperson, Rudy Francis.
Assemblyman Luis
Sepulveda came to the podium to speak. He announced that it had been a year
since he was elected to office and that he had a perfect attendance in Albany so
far. He said he has been working on several projects and programs. The turkey
drive was a success because he distributed over 250 turkeys in the community. He
is now working on his toy drive; he says you can drop off any toys you want to
donate to his office where they will wrap it and then distribute it to children
in need. He reminded everyone that his coat drive and clothing drive are year
round. He encourages everyone to come to his office with any concerns or
complaints or if you want to pass legislation; he has Spanish and Bengali
translators if they are needed. He says his new project he is working on is a
Community Policing Program. It will service West Farms, Castle Hill and
Parkchester. The duties of volunteers so far are to walk around the community
with walkie-talkies at hand and report any suspicious activities.
Note: Ms. Carmen Taveras asked Mr. Sepulveda for an update on the number 6 line
repairs. He answered that the repairs will not take as long as projected that it
will be finished sooner than expected and that he has addressed the merchant's
association and assured them that they will be properly recompensed for the
money they have lost due to the repairs.
Note: At
this point of the meeting, the chairperson arrived and joined the meeting.
The Chairperson
called Ms. Nancy Keys to the podium to speak about the Town Hall Meeting
concerning Ferry Service within community board #9. Ms. Keys greeted the
audience and reminded them about the possibility of a ferry boat service coming
to the Bronx, specifically within board 9 and board 10. She said that it was
very important for everyone to attend because their opinions matter and she
brought up that many residents question how things come into community board 9
and she says it's because no one attends important meetings.
Note: Mr.
Kyheim S. Paul posed a question saying; what would be the adverse effects of
having a ferry service in the community? Ms. Keys responded saying that the
committee had asked for a study but said study was not out yet and that they are
still waiting for it, but the reason for the Town Hall Meeting is predominately
to see how people feel about the ferry service.
Note: This
part of the audio recording was not recorded.

Its been an honor to see him take place in the North American Sieger show, especially now that longcoats are accepted. I'm very proud of both Xander and his owner, Laura (in the last picture with Xander before the show). Congrats! Xander has a great life and a great home. He lives in a dream world, going on trail rides all the time with his owner who is on horseback, and her other shepherds. Thank you to the Mittelwest team for your support of Xander's success and to the handler they brought over, Gina Kastrup! Mittelwest owns Xander's father, VA1 Sieger Titan vom Mittelwest.

Von Buchmann German Shepherds
Originally from Michigan, I was raised around German Shepherds. I admire their loyalty, bravery and protective nature, gentleness with children,
and always, the ability to be all of this and complete goof balls that make you laugh everyday, so in tune with their owners they are almost human.
I breed only European line German shepherds from both show lines and working lines. My mission is to breed for temperament, working ability, and structural soundness.
I give my puppies the best start I can by raising them in the house, where they are constantly looked after and handled in my home office.
My goal: to produce the perfect German Shepherd Dog. For current German Shepherd puppies, please go to my Litters page below.
I am located in Atlanta Georgia. We ship puppies within the United States. I currently have German Shepherd puppies placed in Georgia, Michigan, Nebraska, Illinois,
Virginia, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, and the list just keeps growing. For inquires please contact Rebecca Buchman at:

Passionate about Language and CultureTuesday, September 29th, 2009
You may be familiar with someone I admire greatly and the Nobel Peace prize winner, Muhammed Unas. Dr Yunus created the concept of micro-finance. He started the Grameen bank that gives small loans to low-income women and men to start and build businesses. His guidance and inspiration has empowered thousands of poor people to create small businesses which take them out of poverty, ultimately promoting peace in the world. I strongly believe that we all have unique gifts that can help people in many different ways and (in the big picture) promote peace in our world. The reason I'm so passionate about what we do here at KAMMS is because I feel communication is the essence of humanity. It's an innate desire we all possess: to communicate with other human beings. I also believe that bringing people together through language and understanding each other's culture will promote peace in the U.S. and around the world. And I'm not the only one! Here are a few examples of others who share my sentiments about the importance of languages and culture:
- The top official for the United Nations stated that "multilingualism is a means of promoting, protecting and preserving the diversity of the world's languages and cultures."
- Under-Secretary-General for Communications and Public Information said: "Languages, which ones you understand or speak, read or write, whether on the Internet or in your society, can make the difference between knowing and not knowing".
- The UN Coordinator for Multilingualism said: Knowing languages can also make the difference between "being able to participate and being excluded."
I think we can all agree that it's crucial to learn other languages and understand other cultures, given our ever growing diversity, instant connectivity to around the world, and opportunities it would afford us. So why then do so many of us choose not to gain this knowledge. Let's explore one of the responses I receive when I ask this question:"I'm no good at languages. I tried in high school (or college) and just couldn't do it." This one bothers me the most; considering I was a high school Spanish teacher and I witnessed the many antiquated teaching methods still in use today. It's more than likely you were taught with the following:
- irrelevant vocabulary you'd never use (my school taught vocabulary for going fishing, scuba diving and skiing)
- grammar rules first (you learned approximately 50 ways to conjugate a verb – good luck figuring out which one to use when you're trying to have a conversation)
- vocabulary out of context (you learned a list you had to memorize, so you know a lot of words, but you can't put them together to form a sentence)
First thing first: You have an innate ability to learn languages. As many as you want! You learned your first language easily and without stress. The problem is that most educational institutions don't teach you the way you learned your first language. They start with grammar. You didn't learn the grammar of your first language until you were in second grade. At that point you had already heard the language for seven years, you were able to communicate and you could put sentences together on your own. The reason you weren't able to learn easily in high school or college was because most of their teaching techniques go against every law of language acquisition methodology I know. Because of my experience watching and using these techniques as a grade school and high school teacher, I know they don't work. This is why, after 10 years of research, I created the Spanish on the Job and English on the Job programs; so that learners can understand and speak the relevant language they need immediately. I have watched people learning with my programs be able to converse within three months. I'm very proud of this, but I'm also frustrated that more people don't know that they CAN learn languages easily.So please, when you meet me, please don't tell me that you can't learn languages. AARGHH! I know you can! If you'd like to check out the programs or to contact me, please go to our website: www.kammsworldwide.comI wish you great success!

Barbara Brown Taylor book featured in May Seminar
How often have we heard the phrase, "I'm spiritual, but not religious"? Episcopal priest (and writer) Barbara Brown Taylor writes in her memoir, Leaving Church, of losing her faith with the church and much of religion, but not with God. In her very down-to-earth way, Taylor shares what many of us have felt, and perhaps struggled in guilt over, as we seek to reconcile our work, faith, and church affiliations. In the May 6-24 online seminar on Spiritual but not Religious: Leaving Church, participants have the opportunity to reflect on Taylor's perspectives and their own experiences with others who are no longer seeing church as the avenue for meeting their spiritual needs.
"For many pastors, pastoral counselors, chaplains, and caregivers, we were called to ministry and gave ourselves to the work fully. Then we find we are exhausted and frustrated with the institution of religion." Taylor says that after she gave up her church post, she "... remembered what she had known all along, that the church is not the stopping place but a starting place for discerning God's presence in the world."
The leaders of this seminar will weave in other writers experiences to discuss the phenomenon of being spiritual but not religious. The goals are:
- Finding: To do a self study of our own spiritual history
- Losing: To look at the phenomenon of being spiritual but not religious
- Keeping: To discover what is truly important to one's faith that you do not want to discard
This seminar features the Oates Institute's Connected Learning approach where one may participate from anywhere at times convenient to one's schedule.
Continuing Education Credit
This seminar offers 12 contact hours of continuing education for ministers, counselors, chaplains, and social workers. To qualify for the CEUs participants are expected to read the presentations and participate in the email discussion by contributing at least two email messages per week. One message is to reflect on the presentations or case studies in light of one's personal experience and context and the second is to respond to someone else's reflection or inquiry.
This seminar is limited to 12 participants. It is new, so you will want to register soon. Members of the Oates Institute may register for free, others may register for only $90.

Beautiful card for a program
Devoted Gate-fold Programs I used this base design and designed a wedding program for my son's wedding. It was gorgeous - the paperstock is perfect and I closed it with a custom belly band.

Highly recommend
Wedding ceremony program!
Love Owlways Gate-fold Programs We looked for a program for our wedding program's on heaps of other web sites but nothing came close to the ones we found here!! They were elegant, beautiful and overall exactly what we wanted! There were sooo many options and every time we had a question and sent an email off we had a reply within the day :) I love them!
Names Written in the Sand Gate-fold Programs I won these programs on the wedding the vibe website, and could not be more impressed with how these turned out. They will b the finishing touch to my beach themed wedding. The website was very easy to use, customer service was quick to answer any questioned I had, and my order was finished and shipped in a few days. I would recommend magnet street to anyone looking to purchase programs!

'From the Harvest' recipes [Pictures]
Check out the recipes from our "From the Harvest" series, focusing on ingredients that are in season each week.
Image 2 of 37
Creamed brussels sprouts with bacon( John Houser III, Baltimore Sun / November 8, 2012 )
Brussels sprouts rarely get much love — and they get plenty of hate. This is a dish that will change any Brussels sprout basher. It's a gateway dish into a new world of recipes. Plus, it has bacon in it, so you know it can't be that bad. This is good as leftovers for breakfast spooned over toast.
Makes: 8 servings
2 bunches (or stalks) Brussels sprouts (about 40), cut in half length-wise
8 ounces bacon, cut into 1/4-inch-by-1-inch slices
1/3 cup rendered bacon fat (saved from cooking the bacon)
1/3 cup flour
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1 quart milk
2 teaspoons salt
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
In a large pan over medium heat add the bacon and cook until crisp. Remove the bacon from the rendered oil with a slotted spoon, reserve 1/3 cup of the bacon fat and discard the rest. In the same pan over medium heat, place the sprouts cut side down and cook until the bottoms brown (approximately 5 minutes) and turn off heat. Heat the milk (to almost a boil) in the microwave or in a small pot on the stove. In a saucepan over medium heat, mix the bacon fat and the flour. Cook together for about a minute and then slowly whisk in the hot milk, a half-cup at a time, until it is watery and combined. Bring the milk mixture to a boil. The sauce will tighten up and should be taken off of the heat. If it is too thick, thin it out with more milk or water. Pour the sauce onto the sprouts and stir in the nutmeg, salt and pepper. Serve sprinkled with bacon bits.
Tip: To make this dish lighter without the cream sauce, cook the bacon and brussels sprouts as the recipe directs, but don't save the fat, and when the sprouts are a little brown on the bottom, place the pan (oven-safe) into a 375-degree oven for 10 minutes. Add the bacon back into the pan and serve.

The Silver HandTalk19
this wiki
- For the faction, see Silver Hand.
|The Silver Hand
|Quest Giver
Gallows Rock
The Underforge
|Proving Honor
|Next Quest
|Blood's Honor
|The Companions
|Companions, Main quest
|Quest ID
I have ascended to the Circle which leads the Companions, and now share their blood as a werewolf. To celebrate my new status, Skjor and Aela have invited me to attack a Silver Hand camp nearby.
This quest allows the Dragonborn to become a werewolf. Becoming a werewolf increases health and is reversible.
To start this quest, either speak to a Companion, or go to Farkas, and ask him for a job. He will then direct the Dragonborn to see Skjor. Skjor will insist you meet him at the Underforge at night. There's a pretty clear outline along the rock wall that indicates where the secret entrance is. Head inside the Underforge, and when ready tell Skjor to begin the ritual. After the ritual, the Dragonborn has moved out into Whiterun, and everyone is alerted. Either wait for the effects to wear off or wait until the health bar is depleted, upon which the Dragonborn is knocked unconscious. Also you can feed. (There may be a difference from this description in the PC version, or an update has changed this; upon transformation, the Dragonborn is still in the underforge and can exit to the city proper, or use the one-way exit to the countryside to the East of Whiterun.) Map, inventory, and most other actions are not available while in Beast form, but the experience will persist, so map points discovered and foes killed will be there once back in normal form.) Upon regaining consciousness, the Dragonborn will have already reverted to human form, although the Dragonborn can transform into a werewolf by selecting Beast Form under Powers in the Magic menu (keep in mind that there is a cooldown period).
Aela mentions a Silver Hand camp nearby that must be exterminated. There is no specific way this "dungeon clearing" must be accomplished. Aela will be your follower during this part of the quest.
A straightforward approach is to head into the stone bunker at Gallows Rock, pull the chain to lower the gate, and proceed through the passages and rooms to the leader, Krev the Skinner. Note that there is a door that cannot be opened because it is barred from the other side - proceed through the rest of the dungeon bearing to the right. In the fight, Krev is accompanied by three archers; taking them out first will allow attacks to be focused on Krev to dispatch him. At lower levels, Krev will also be susceptible to the fear-inducing roar whilst in Werewolf form, which can turn the battle in a mere farce.
Speak to Aela afterward to finish the quest.
If you have a follower, the follower will not be present when you regain consciousness after being a werewolf for the first time. This is because Aela automatically becomes your follower from this time until the end of the quest. Your original follower will return to the place where you first met him or her. (Also, telling your follower to wait in a place before you start the quest will not prevent him or her from returning to the place where you first met him or her.)
|Journal Entry
Skjor and Aela say they have some sort of special assignment for me. I'm supposed to meet them underneath the Skyforge tonight.
I have ascended to the Circle which leads the Companions, and now share their blood as a werewolf. To celebrate my new status, Skjor and Aela have invited me to attack a Silver Hand camp nearby.

SOAP LAKE, Wash. – Washington state's latest medical marijuana law took effect Friday, but some say it only adds to confusion over the legality of medical marijuana.
A grandmother in Soap Lake, Washington says she followed the law, but is still being prosecuted. Joyce Dorris, 55, is a grandmother of three.
"I've never been arrested in my life. I've had a cleaned record and now somebody who was a friend is making me a criminal," says Dorris.
Joyce thought she was following all the state rules for medical marijuana by supplying marijuana for a client with a chronic condition. She says she was only providing for one person, not using herself and only had the allowed amount.
Despite what people think, medical marijuana is not fully protected by Washington law. Attorney Frank Cikutovich has made his career on it.
"It's not as legal as you think it is and if you decide to grow it or possess it you put yourself at great risk," he says.
Cikutovich is not working on Joyce's case, but explains Washington's medical marijuana law.
"It's an affirmative defense the same as self defense. If somebody comes in your house and threatens you, and you kill them, you then can go to trial and say 'well I did it in self defense.' Medical marijuana is the same way, 'I violated the law, however I did it legally,'" he explains.
He also reminds people that at the federal level providers have no argument because any kind of marijuana possession is a federal crime.
Across the state the precedent set is confusion. The Seattle City Council just passed an ordinance legitimizing medical marijuana providers by creating guidelines for them. And out of Olympia a new state law went into effect Friday allowing 45-plant collective gardens.
But in Spokane, the Federal Government indicted five men this week involved with dispensaries.
For Joyce in Soap Lake, it's a system that let her down.
"Health wise it's just tearing us both down and I don't know how to control it, I don't know how to seek help," says Joyce.
She is scheduled to go on trial in August.

daddy spy and little scout
Just felt like drawing scout with a hangover
A friend and I went to Valve headquarters today and got a tour. We were only planning on loitering outside the building but we couldn't find it. Walked around Bellevue downtown and walked into city hall by accident because there wasn't a building with Valve's logo on it. We stopped by an intersection where google maps showed we were right by the location. If it weren't for these two teenage boys who had just come out a building with Valve gift-bags and merchandise, we would have missed it. We were hesitant about going up unannounced but they insisted the tour guide was extremely nice.
So we went up the elevator and lo and behold…
Valve HQ
The tour guide, Mary, who was also one of the receptionists, was just starting a tour and welcomed us in. She led us through four floors and showed us various work and play rooms as well as a great deal of concept art. We saw the infamous hat wall. The two boys who had shown us the way had put up a latex horse head. I recognized one of Protowilson's cards up on the wall. Afterwards, we went back to the lobby, received goody bags and took pictures.
Those are the class lithographs, taken from a phone. The company also had their own portal gun on display!
Planning to sent Mary and the Tf2 team some fanart as thanks!
screams because of that heavy and that scout and medic omfG CUTE BABIES HELP EVERYONE LOOKS FAB
(obligatory "get married")
one day i will tour valve
one day
cries a little
Wants this so much it's not even funny (partially reblogging because of those images)
Did I Reblog this already? No matter. Heavy, why you so purrdy and not real and I really need to see this 'Valve' place
I remember back then, there was only shot of Engineer and Spy (Pyro too? I'm not sure), and all I wanted was to see Sniper one. And now, when I see all of them…
So, it was
my friend, Ash's birthday on the 21st (
http://semii-colon.tumblr.com/ this is his tumblr!)
so, i wanted to draw a scout, knowing that Scout is Ash's favorite class, and red being one of his favorite colors, and plus, the present was late
I hope you like this late present, Ash
--EDIT-- whoops, forgot to add my signature, and sources for the fonts, which was http://www.dafont.com/tf2.font and http://www.dafont.com/tf2-build.font --/EDIT--
i drew another thing guys
This wouldn't be my first TF2 drawing (oh no, not my a long shot. I have at least 5 or 6 other tf2 related drawings in my pictures folder.) This is just the first I've finished ;3
Critiques are greatly appreciated!
Alright here we go fnpgh
Short little TF2 drabble, Scout/Sniper implied. Based on last night's update, for a headcanon that won't go away, hah.
Just a comfort-drawing because Scout is my spirit animal and I think his spirit animal is a jack rabbit. Fight me.

This… is a bucket.

Breaking Bad's wonderful run has come to an end and a lot of people were sad to see it go, while excited for the finale at the same time. It has been announced that Breaking Bad's Vince Gilligan is interested in doing a Breaking Bad spin-off around the Saul Goodman character played by Bob Odenkirk.
Originally they thought about doing it as a 30-minute sitcom, but ultimately they decided to do it as a one-hour sitcom.
"We're both one-hour drama guys," Gilligan said, via the Hollywood Reporter.
In talking about shooting the show the way Breaking Bad was filmed, Gilligan made an interesting comment. See if you can catch it.
"So we figured, 'Why not shoot Saul in the same way?' Let's shoot it in Albuquerque, let's get as much of the crew back together as possible, and let's do it the way we did it before so that it will be of a piece with that pre-existing fictional universe that we had so much fun creating."
As much of the crew back together? That could mean the technical crew, of course, but it could mean members of the Breaking Bad cast. Bryan Cranston, who played Walter White, and Aaron Paul, who played Jesse Pinkman, have both expressed interest in making appearances.
"Personally, I'd have a hard time resisting putting all these guys in for a cameo or two every now and then," Gilligan says.
Now the show could include Walter White and Jesse Pinkman because the spin-off is a prequel, so it takes place before the Breaking Bad show.

Eco-Friendly Kitchen Tips from Green Expert Sophie Uliano
Written on April 22, 2011 at 4:38 pm , by Marianne Magno
You don't have to spend big bucks to eat green. Here are easy, money-saving tips from Sophie Uliano, author of Gorgeously Green, The Gorgeously Green Diet, and the upcoming book Do It Gorgeously, to help you have a more environmentally friendly kitchen.
- Cook from scratch as much as you can. You avoid processed foods (which cost more money) and cut back on waste from all the extra packaging.
- Buy in bulk and plan ahead. Choose a meal plan for the week and make your shopping list before you head to the grocery store. "Following a meal plan for the week helps me eat healthy and lose weight because I know exactly what I'm eating," says Sophie. "And I only need to do one trip to the store."
- Do prep work. When you get home from the grocery store, wash and chop your produce and store them in containers in your fridge. "I love making salads for me and my family. Having the ingredients washed and pre-cut means I can make meals in minutes."
- Don't forget! "You have every intention to bring your reusable bag to the grocery store, your travel mug and reusable water bottle, but sometimes you forget," says Sophie. "I like to leave a note by my door to remind me." She recently teamed up with Post-it Greener Notes so those go-green reminders are on recycled paper.
Want more tips? Check out Sophie's website GorgeouslyGreen.com where she's got how-to videos and recipes to make your own eco-friendly products at home.

15 Easy Ways to Go Green on the Cheap
Written on April 21, 2011 at 10:51 am , by SparkPeople
During the past few years, "green" living has gone mainstream. Words like "carbon footprint" are commonplace and many companies are trying to highlight (sometimes even fabricate) how eco-friendly they are so that consumers will view them more favorably.
But one thing you may wonder, whether you've considered switching to plant-based cleaners, energy star appliances, organic cotton clothing, or a backyard composter made from recycled plastic is this: Why does "doing good" for the earth have to be so darn expensive? Organic, natural, plant-based, recycled, biodegradable, and fair trade do—for the most part—cost more. And that higher expense, unfortunately, deters many consumers from changing their ways.
But if you're willing to spend a little time and think creatively, there are plenty of zero- and low-cost options to green your lifestyle, diet and home. In honor of Earth Day tomorrow, here are some of the cheap ways you can go green to protect our planet:
1. Buy secondhand. If you do need something, buying secondhand is always better than buying new, even if that new product is eco-friendly. Buying secondhand uses existing resources instead of tapping into new ones.
2. Stop buying single-use disposable goods. If you are regularly buying single-use disposable items, such as bottled water, disposable toilet scrubbers and the like, consider investing those same dollars into a more permanent solution to save money and decrease waste that goes to landfills.
3. Unplug and turn off. When plugged into an outlet, many electronics are using power even when they're off. You could invest in an expensive "smart" power strip to prevent this, or for free, you can simply make it a habit to unplug your electronics whenever you aren't using them.
4. Opt out of mailing lists and switch to paperless billing. This will save you time, paper waste, and postage. Each time you buy something from a website or catalog, request that company not share your address with anyone else and say you do not want to be added to their mailing list. And don't forget about officially opting out of credit offers (it's free and easy!) to prevent even more junk mail from coming your way.
5. Buy fewer packaged foods. Those little plastic produce bags for your apples and broccoli—totally optional. When possible, forgo food packaging or try to make some of your purchasing decisions based on foods that use less packaging. This most often will apply to processed foods that you often don't need to eat anyway. When you do, choose the larger sizes in lieu of small packages or single serving items to decrease packaging waste.

Bush, Kerry discuss stem cells, abortion in 2nd debate

ST. LOUIS (BP)--President Bush and Democratic candidate John Kerry addressed three issues of particular interest to evangelicals during their second debate Oct. 8 in a town hall format at Washington University in St. Louis.
Bush and Kerry answered questions from the audience regarding stem cell research, abortion and possible appointments to the Supreme Court. Same-sex "marriage" was not discussed.
One member of the audience asked Kerry: "Thousands of people have already been cured or treated by the use of adult stem cells or umbilical-cord stem cells. However, no one has been cured by using embryonic stem cells. Wouldn't it be wise to use stem cells obtained without the destruction of an embryo?"
"I really respect your -- the feeling that's in your question," Kerry answered. "I understand it. I know the morality that's prompting that question, and I respect it enormously."
But Kerry said that people like former first lady Nancy Reagan, whose husband suffered from Alzheimer's, and actor Michael J. Fox, who suffers from Parkinson's disease, and actor Christopher Reeve, who suffered from paralysis, cause him to support embryonic stem cell research, Kerry said.
Reeve died of cardiac arrest two days after the debate at the age of 52.
"Now, I think we can do ethically guided embryonic stem cell research," Kerry said, suggesting that frozen embryos from fertility clinics be used for research. "... I believe if we have the option, which scientists tell us we do, of curing Parkinson's, curing diabetes, curing some kind of a paraplegic or quadriplegic or a spinal cord injury, anything -- that's the nature of the human spirit. I think it is respecting life to reach for that cure. I think it is respecting life to do it in an ethical way."
President Bush, in his response to the same question, noted that embryonic stem cell research requires the destruction of life to create a stem cell.
"I think we've got to be very careful in balancing the ethics and the science," Bush said. "... Science is important, but so is ethics. So is balancing life. To destroy life to save life is one of the real ethical dilemmas that we face."
The president said he helped double the National Institutes of Health budget to $28 billion a year to find cures using adult stem cell research, "to balance science and the concerns for life."
Stem cells are master cells that can develop into tissues and other cells. They are found not only in human embryos but in adults as well. Adult stem cell research extracts cells from bone marrow, umbilical cord blood and other non-embryonic sources without harm to the donor, and the method has already produced more than 40 treatments. Embryonic stem cell research has experienced multiple failures, including the worsening of Parkinson's symptoms in one human test group and a tendency to produce tumors in laboratory animals.
Regarding abortion, a woman asked Kerry to imagine he was speaking with a voter who believed abortion was murder and wanted reassurance that tax dollars would not go to support abortion.
"First of all, I cannot tell you how deeply I respect the belief about life and when it begins," Kerry said. "I'm a Catholic, raised a Catholic, I was an altar boy. Religion has been a huge part of my life. It helped lead me through a war, leads me today. But I can't take what is an article of faith for me and legislate it for someone who doesn't share that article of faith, whether they be agnostic, atheist, Jew, Protestant, whatever. I can't do that.
"But I can counsel people," he added. "I can talk reasonably about life and about responsibility. I can talk to people, as my wife Teresa does, about making other choices, and about abstinence, and about all these other things that we ought to do as a responsible society. But as a president, I have to represent all the people in the nation. And I have to make that judgment."
Richard Land, president of the Southern Baptist Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission, said that Kerry failed to take a stance on either side of the abortion issue.
"The senator shows a fundamental misunderstanding of the difference between religious belief and moral values," Land said in a statement to Baptist Press. "If he were trying to get the government to force the teaching of Catholicism on people, that would be trying to force his article of faith on others legislatively. In reality, his religious belief should inform his moral values, and he as a citizen should bring his moral values to bear on public policy issues. ...
"The senator's deliberate segregation of his religious belief from his public policy positions on moral issues is functional atheism and would give people of no religious faith veto power over public policy positions in his administration," Land added. "I hope the American people don't want a president who will deliberately segregate and separate his religious convictions from his moral positions on public policy issues."
Bush said that tax dollars should not support abortion.
"My answer is we're not going to spend federal taxpayers' money on abortion," Bush said, noting that he signed a ban on partial-birth abortion, signed the Unborn Victims of Violence Act and he favors parental notification laws.
Bush charged that Kerry is against parental notification and noted that the Massachusetts senator voted against the partial-birth abortion ban.
"I think it is a worthy goal in America to have every child protected by law and welcomed in life," Bush said. "I also think we ought to continue to have good adoption law as an alternative to abortion. And we need to promote maternity group homes, which my administration has done. [A] culture of life is really important for a country to have if it's going to be a hospitable society."
Many observers say that the next president will nominate at least one judge to the Supreme Court during the next four years. One questioner asked Bush who he would nominate if elected.
"I would pick somebody who would not allow their personal opinion to get in the way of the law," Bush said. "I would pick somebody who would strictly interpret the Constitution of the United States."
Bush then gave examples of the kind of person he would not choose, including someone who would not allow the Pledge of Allegiance to be said in schools because it contains the words "under God."
"I think that's an example of a judge allowing personal opinion to enter into the decision-making process, as opposed to strict interpretation of the Constitution," he said.
Kerry said that his nominee would demonstrate neither a liberal nor a conservative slant.
"I don't believe we need a good conservative judge and I don't believe we need a good liberal judge," he said. "I don't believe we need a good judge of that kind of definition on either side. I subscribe to the Justice Potter Stewart standard -- he was a justice on the Supreme Court of the United States -- and he said the mark of a good judge, a good justice, is that when you're reading their decision, their opinion, you can't tell if it's written by a man or a woman, a liberal or a conservative, a Muslim, a Jew or a Christian. You just know you're reading a good judicial decision."
Land said there was an obvious difference between the two men on judicial nominees.
"The president has made it clear that he is going to nominate only strict constructionist justices who will interpret the Constitution, and John Kerry has a long-time love affair with activist judges who legislate from the bench. It would seem one of the major choices in the election is whether we want to cede more power to the judiciary or rein in what many consider to be a runaway, activist judiciary."
The third and final presidential debate will be Wednesday, Oct. 13 at Arizona State University in Tempe, Ariz., at 9 p.m. ET.
With reporting by Tom Strode.

Floyd County Board of Supervisors Meeting
April 28, 2008, 9:00 AM
The Floyd County Board of Supervisors met for a workshop meeting at 9:00 a.m. on Monday, April 28, 2008 in the Board Room of the Floyd County Courthouse with the following in attendance: Chairman Enabnit, Supv. Staudt, and Supv. Dunkel.
Staudt/Dunkel moved to approve the agenda as presented. Motion carried 3-0.
The Board discussed audit services. Counties are no longer required to send out requests for proposals or go through a bid process for audit services. Gardiner-Thomsen provided a 3-year contract for the Board to review and sign if they choose not to bid. The Board requested the Auditor to check with other counties to see what they are paying for audits.
The Board reviewed a letter from Hylton Jackson, Iowa Department of Natural Resources, regarding the Terracon Consulting site investigation on the Second Street property. The letter reads that the DNR does not require any follow-up action based on the Terracon report. It is the conclusion of the DNR that the available information does not suggest the likely existence of a hazardous condition on the property but it does not constitute an endorsement either. If a more definitive pronouncement of the environmental condition of the property is desired, enrollment in the Iowa Land Recycling Program could be considered. Supv Dunkel provided a copy of the letter to Neil Leipzig, consultant with Conestoga (CRA), for review. Leipzig told Supv Dunkel he will provide written information regarding his perspective on the property and the letter from the DNR. Tracy Meise and Ralph Smith, representatives for the City of Charles City, received copies of the DNR letter. The County will not pursue the issue any further unless the City requests more on the subject.
A motion was made by Supervisor Staudt and seconded by Supervisor Dunkel to adjourn. Motion carried 3-0.

A mid-range property with lots of history, but it's no longer the luxury hot spot it once was
Built in 1926, The Radisson Plaza-Warwick Hotel is a National Historic Landmark, and at one time drew celebrity guests and politicians (Frank Sinatra and Ava Gardner spent a night of their honeymoon here). And after a $22 million renovation completed in 2010, the hotel is still holding up -- the public spaces are still elegant, and the rooms have flat-sreen TVs and iPod docks. But in spite of all that, this is no longer the luxury property it once was. These days, it draws families and business travelers rather than the rich and famous, and the room decor is run-of-the-mill.
But changes are still to come at the hotel. In mid-2013, the hotel is set for a multi-million dollar renovation before beoming a Radisson Blu.
In Center City, just east of Rittenhouse Square Park
The Radisson Plaza is on South 17th St, a busy tree-lined stretch that's home to a number of hotels (including the Sofitel and the Palomar, a couple blocks north) near Rittenhouse Square Park. The Shops at Liberty Place mall is a short walk away.
Center City is Philadelphia's commercial and cultural center, and the vast majority of the city's hotels are clustered in this neighborhood. Popular historical sites, including Independence Hall, are located here, as is the Philadelphia Museum of Art (fronted by the stone steps made famous in the Rocky films). The picturesque Rittenhouse Square Park, located in the southwest area of the neighborhood, is surrounded by some of the city's best restaurants and bars. The ornate City Hall, built in 1901, is the second tallest masonry building in the world; its tower is a prominent fixture of the Philadelphia skyline.
Average mid-range decor, but up-to-date technology and Sleep Number Beds
The room decor is nothing special -- beige carpets, bland fabrics, wood furniture with nicks and scratches. But there are 32- to 42-inch flat-screen TVs and iPod docks, as well as adjustable Sleep Number Beds. I'm sure the Sleep Number Beds are comfortable enough when they work, but the remote for my bed gave me error messages, and the mattress was extremely firm.
All rooms include:
Room types:
A fitness center and business center, but not much else
An on-site American restaurant, plus an upscale steakhouse attached to the property
THIS HOTEL HAS RENOVATED SINCE OUR VISIT. WE WILL UPDATE OUR REVIEW AND PHOTOS AS SOON AS WE CAN. This 301-room hotel built in 1926 has plenty of old-world charm -- lovely English Renaissance architecture, and an elegant lobby with two fireplaces. Rooms are thoroughly modern, however, with flat-screen TVs and iPod docks. It's a solid mid-range option near Rittenhouse Square, with thoughtful freebies (free bottled water in the rooms, free Wi-Fi, free morning newspapers). But the room decor is nothing special, and the much-vaunted Sleep Number Beds are rock-hard when they don't work.

Business Administration:
Adult Degree Completion Program
Area of Business
The adult degree completion program in business administration supports the following goals of Milligan College:
The business administration curriculum is designed for the career-oriented adult who intends to assume a professional role in society as a leader of business activities. Students are prepared for a career in business and industry as well as the not-for-profit sector. The study of business administration also contributes to the application of business principles in daily life.
Graduates who complete the business administration major are expected to:
- Demonstrate knowledge of the business core that is sufficient to provide each student with a comprehensive understanding of the discipline's major functional areas. Likewise, students will possess the requisite understanding necessary to integrate successfully the functional areas into a cohesive whole for the purpose of short and long-term decision-making. This body of knowledge will be sufficient for success in the workplace or in continued graduate studies;
- Demonstrate knowledge of written and oral communication skills as well as the use of computer technology and mathematics sufficient to support the application of quantitative principles;
- Exhibit the development of the leadership and management skills that are necessary for the successful planning, implementation, and control of the business enterprise, all rooted in a foundation of ethical and moral principles.
Business Administration major - B.S.
In addition to the 32 hours of Business Administration core courses, a student must complete hours in one of the following two emphases: general and operations management.
General emphasis
The general emphasis allows students to complete coursework in a wide range of business disciplines including business law, corporate finance and international business and economics.
Required core courses
Total number of required hours in the Business Administration major (ADCP): 48
Operations Management emphasis
The operations management emphasis consists of courses designed to prepare students for successful careers in operational management or administration.
Required core courses
Required courses in the emphasis
Total number of required hours in the Business Administration major with an operations management emphasis (ADCP): 48
Completing the major takes approximately 16 months. Completion of the degree is dependent upon the outstanding degree requirements. Therefore, the time necessary to complete the degree can be better identified after the degree plan is filed (prior to admittance into the major).
Senior Major Exam
All students majoring in Business Administration must take the senior major exam. The senior major exam is created by the Business Administration faculty and given at the end of the program.
Degree Requirements
The student who completes the Bachelor of Science degree with a major in business administration must meet all general education requirements (GER). Students are not required to complete a minor; elective hours can constitute the balance of the degree. The degree requirements are as follows:
- Successful completion of 128 semester hours
- Successful completion at Milligan College of the forty-eight semester hours in the business administration major
- A cumulative grade point average of 2.0 on all work (4.0 scale)
- Successful completion of the general education requirements
- Completion of the senior examination
General Education Requirements (GER)
Some general education requirements (GER) are met in the ADCP business administration major. Students who choose to complete a second major are not required to complete any additional GER. General education requirements are graduation requirements and, thus, are not an admission factor.
Degree candidates are encouraged to participate in commencement ceremonies; ceremonies are conducted in May and December each year. Candidates for a degree are identified through their completion of the "Intent to Graduate" form. Degree candidates must have met all degree requirements and the student's account must be paid in full prior to commencement. Arrangements must be completed as early as possible through the Registrar's Office, the Office for Graduate and Professional Studies, and the Business Office.

Just got back from seeing Oblivion, starring Tom Cruise, Olga Kurylenko, et al. I've seen written that it heralds the start of a new age of cinema sci-fi, and being somewhat of a cinema sci-fi buff, I have to agree.
The films starts by getting the viewer up to speed by Tom Cruise's character Jack Harper (not Reacher). A long time ago, Earth was invaded by aliens, they were nuked and the war was won, but at the expense of the planet. Harper's mission is to look after drones which in turn look after huge hydro-reactors that generate power for the remaining humans on Titan. He's aided in this by his partner Victoria, who communicates with him and a mahoosive orbiting satellite called the Tet(rahedron), who are basically mission control.
Harper, who lives and dreams among the clouds, flies around in a *really* cool craft and repairs drones that have crashed. Well, not really crashed, more like shot down, by some of the remaining aliens called Skavs. They seem to be fairly intelligent, as they are taking the drones apart for their own reasons. Early in the film, Harper has a run-in with some Skavs, and that when we are introduced to the drones proper. Basically, they're just giant balls of death, making mincemeat out of the Skavs and doing a fine job of protecting Harper.
They don't do such a good job of protecting the hydro-reactors however, and after one gets destroyed in a (very large) explosion and some humans turn up unexpectedly, the film really gets going and that's all I'm going to say on the plot.
I found the acting, unsurprisingly, to be top-notch. A lot of people put Tom Cruise down (ha ha), but he does this role very well, he seems to be all over the place at the moment. The rest of the cast are also excellent, especially Andrea Riseborough in the role of Victoria. Olga Kurylenko also does very well, despite being a smaller character initially. The film packs a bit of an emotional punch as well, almost to Silent Running levels
But good god, the design of the film is incredible. Earth looks ruined, but in a way not seen before. It is truly desolate, with only some recognisable features left (half the Pentagon, Lady Liberty's torch, etc). Juxtaposing this is the achingly cool sci-fi tech. It looks advanced, but believably so, i.e. there's no magic sci-fi thingy to help our hero out. The flying craft holds a myriad of devices to help Harper in his job, and even a fold-out motorbike – but again, it's realistically done. The drones look fantastic, Harper's house in the clouds looks like something Frank LLoyd Wright would design if he was alive in 2077, it's all just stunning.
I was going to link to a featurette about the look of the film, but it really is worth going into it blind, and just enjoy the spectacle. The score is also fantastic, will probably end up buying it.
All in all, a very worthy 9/10 for Oblivion. To explain why it's not 10/10, my reasons (referencing other sci-fi films) may lead to deductions of spoilers, and I wouldn't want to do that. It's a crackers of a film, and you'd be mad to miss it. It deserves to be seen on the big screen, but not necessarily IMAX big…

Let's cut to the end: there's a faceoff in the Kings' zone, the Ducks' Selanne wins it, it goes to Bobby Ryan, and he bloops the puck up and over goaltender Jonathan Quick, perhaps helped by a deflection.
After the game, nobody in the Anaheim room cared that it took a fluke to win. Nor were they concerned that the team had, for the third game in a row, blown a two-goal lead to let the Kings come back to 2-2 before Ryan scored the third, the winner.
Their new coach, Bruce Boudreau, said it simply: "It's not the Cup, but it felt pretty good. I felt good for the players, because they were smiling, and they worked so hard, if it had had gone the other way, I was a little worried about it."
"You know, we got a lucky break. They got a lucky break, so it sort of evened out." He's talking about the Kings' second goal, which came when the boards in the Anaheim end—which have to be the worst, most impossible to predict, and frustrating in the NHL—caused a puck that Cam Fowler had cleared up to rebound directly out at 90 degrees where LA's Justin Williams grabbed it. He dished to Stoll, who gave it back to Williams to redirect into the net past a startled Jonas Hiller.
Boudreau carried on to say that he was about to become angry with his team when they let in the first LA goal with 16 seconds left in period two, but that he changed his mind. "You sometimes have to keep your emotions intact yourself. Like when they scored the first goal, it was like I was going to get really mad and then it was like [he makes a screeching sound] I had to put the brakes on and change direction, because I knew that it was important that I can't get mad when they're fragile at the time."
That theme had been mentioned by Bobby Ryan, the game's first star, as well. "Giving up leads like we had, it's a whole different feeling coming into this room tonight. It's huge. Certainly my own [burdens were lifted.] It's no secret that it's been a tough month, or start to the season for me. But Teemu told me this morning that things are going to start going."
Selanne, at 41, aside from predicting the future and being right, is also putting points on the board at a ridiculous pace. With two assists on the evening, he's got as many points as the team has played games, 27. That leads the Ducks.
There were some stories within the story, particularly from the LA side. Notably, the Kings had mixed up their lines before the start, reuniting their season-beginning first line of Kopitar with Gagne and Williams on his flanks. The coach then had Dustin Brown with Stoll and Trent Hunter. The third line early was Penner with Loktionov and Ethan Moreau.
That all changed as the game went on. The third line in the second period was Penner, Loktionov, and Westgarth. Then Coach Murray moved Penner up to line two with Brown and Stoll. As the period went on, however, the Kings gave up their shots advantage, which had been 8-7 when it began but was a disadvantage of 19 Ducks to 16 Kings by the end.
In that second frame, Murray made a more radical move and grabbed one guy from each of the first three lines he began with, Kopitar from the first, Brown from the second, and Penner from the third. That line was together through the whole third period as well.
Notice that in all of these changes, one person who doesn't get mentioned is Justin Williams. He wasn't playing a big game, though he was getting big minutes, ending with nearly 18. That, however, is last amongst the top six forwards in terms of time on ice. He redeemed himself with the goal that tied the game. In period three, he worked with Stoll and Gagne, because his early linemate, Kopitar, was off with Brown and Penner, as detailed above. The third line near the end, if it matters, was Moreau, Colin Fraser, and Trent Hunter, leaving Westgarth, Clifford, and Loktionov looking on.
After the Kings tied in mid-third period, the Ducks felt the familiar anxiety creeping in, but they held their confidence, as Boudreau further detailed. The vibe he was getting he described by saying, "They didn't look like their shoulders were slumped, or they were tired. They were saying, 'Let's go; we're not done.' They were looking up and there's ten minutes to go and we're tied, not 'ten minutes to go and when are they going to get the next one?' It was a different kind of feeling, I think."
Ryan scored the last goal with 49 seconds to go, and even he didn't know what it had hit on the way to the net. He didn't care. "All year, I've been five feet from the puck. Yesterday I worked with one of our assistant coaches on the little things, being in the right spot. Two goals, they're probably fortunate bounces tonight, both of them, but when you're doing the little things and you're getting into those areas, it makes the world of difference," he said.
He added, "It's tough not to get down on yourself. We've given up leads so many times, and really we did it again tonight, but Bruce behind the bench did a good job of telling guys to move forward, we're not going to be beaten tonight. That instilled confidence in us, and Getzy did a good job, he stepped up and spoke his mind as well. . . . There was a feeling that we gave up that late one [in the second] but we're going to be OK."
The win was obviously important to Boudreau, and to the team as well. "I think they stayed the course and played pretty hard. . . . It's not out of the woods yet, [but] maybe you can build on that and go into a very tough building in St. Louis and win another one. The snowball gets bigger and goes downhill, starts rolling downhill."
As if to emphasize the oddness of the evening, a light standard crashed to the ground behind the press as Boudreau finished his comments. In Randy Carlyle style, he joked, "There goes—I thought I'd break a leg or a mirror one day, and it looks like I finally did it."
Maybe that latter sentence needs an exclamation mark at its end.
Brian's new book, My Country Is Hockey, is available now.
The Kings have Minnesota at home Thursday, while the Ducks go to St. Louis and Nashville before returning home for a game and then heading back out for five through the day after Christmas.

Has desegregation been a help or hurt to people of color, specifically the African American community?
Some people believe that desegregation has helped to advance the African American community, while others believe that it has gradually began to deplete the culture and sense of community brought over from African during the diaspora. My challenge for us as global citizens is to maturely discuss issues with race and ways that we can progress forward for the betterment of humankind. Also, I wanted to courageously share with you a topic that comes up in African American conversations. My knowledge is limited to the African American community, but this conversation is open to all who share a similar experience.
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Nov 14 2012: Hi Racheal...nice to see you again on TED:>)
It seems like this question is best answered by African Americans, and you invited all of us who may have shared a similar conversation to join in, so here I am!
I have had this conversation with African American friends, as well as African friends...those recently coming to the US from Africa by choice. The conversations we've shared, seem to indicate a division between these groups. I'm curious to know if that is your perception? The basis for the division seems to be that Africans feel more of an identity because they know their family... their heritage... their roots. Whereas, African Americans, because of the circumstances, have lost those connections, and have been assimilated into white culture...you use the term "watered down" in this thread. Malcolm X also used that term, and addressed the same concern many years ago.
Unfortunately, those who believe they are superior, often try to change others, because they believe everything about them is "superior", so why wouldn't EVERYONE want to be just like them? This may be part of the reason that African Americans feel they have lost their culture...because recognizing and holding onto their culture was not encouraged?
I believe we can progress forward for the betterment of humankind by recognizing, respecting, appreciating and encouraging various cultures. I live in a state that has been predominantly "white" until a resettlement program began here 20-30 years ago. We are now becoming much more diverse, and many people are involved with the different ethnic groups now sharing this community. There are often cultural festivals, different cultual activities and events, which are sponsored by local people, and municipalities. This is a very small state, and in the big picture, what is happening here is a very small effort. We all need to participate in this process, if we truly want to move forward as a global community.
Nov 15 2012: Hello Colleen! I do believe that there is a disconnect between Africans and African Americans. Some Africans, certainly not all, look down upon many African Americans because of their slave ancestors. Unwillingly, many African Americans lost culture and tribal affliations due to slavery. Some African Americans long to know who are their African tribal ancestors. I have even had people to tell me that they "pray" for their last name; similar to how Malcolm X used "X" because he rejected his "slave" last name of Little. Many of the Africans that came to the Americas during the slave trade were tribal prisoners of war. Slaves were being traded by tribes for goods offered by they Europeans. I think part of understanding the disconnect is in understanding the part that tribes played in the slave trade. That's the part many people don't talk about but it is fundamental.
Despite is all, I am just tired of racism, whether it is internal or external to one's "race". It's time to progress. Humankind is so beautiful. I am grateful for the advances in (T)echnology that allow such (E)ntertaining and engaging discussions which could possibly have an imprint on the future (D)esign of society.
Nov 15 2012: Hello again Racheal!
I got that impression...that some Africans look down upon many African Americans because of their slave ancestors, and also because they were assimilated into the white culture? Malcolm X, in his autobiography, spoke about being embarrassed because his skin was the "lightest" of all the children in his family. For him, that seemed to be an indication that he was more "watered down", and had lost more of his African roots.
I am aware that many who came as slaves were prisoners of tribal wars, and sold or traded to the slave traders. Many of their own people sold and traded them into slavery, which must be an unbelievable burden to carry. I didn't know that when I was young, and only found out by having conversations with Africans, African Americans and reading a lot about it. I agree that understanding the disconnect is in understanding the history, which many people do not talk about and are not aware of. I hear people sometimes saying something like....slavery was history....get over it....move on. The true circumstances are very difficult to "get over".
Some folks fail to connect with the people who are the "players" in the history which is important to understand. I am tired of racism too Racheal, and I believe people are denying themselves a great gift by hanging onto racism. Humankind can indeed be beautiful, when we respect, appreciate and accept each other for who and what we are. It is sometimes helpful to know where we came from to understand where we are going, and if people do not understand the whole story of how/why Africans were brought to this country as slaves, they do not fully understand all the dynamics of what African Americans may be experiencing. I cannot even imagine, how it must feel, to know that their ancestors were here as slaves because they were often betrayed by their own people.
Do you think that part of the disconnect for Africans may be guilt or shame for selling or trading their own people into slavery?
