Jeremy Shockey's Priorities Appear To Be A Bit Out Of Whack
5/25/09 in NFL | 100%InjuryRate | 1283 respect
Anyway, looks like Shockey is likely in a bit of trouble again. See, Shockey told the Saints he was going to miss OTAs for "personal reasons." But unless "personal reasons" entails "getting drunk and passing out at the Hard Rock Hotel in Vegas" then I think the Saints may be a bit pissed off.
Sunday afternoon Shockey was found unconscious at about 2pm at Rehab - the name of the Sunday pool party at the Hard Rock. Shockey wound up being taken out via stretcher. There were several other NFL players present at the party.
After being treated, Shockey was discharged from the hospital, and word is he was dehydrated - which is fancy speak for he was drunk and out in the sun too long.
Now, I don't know why Shockey was specifically at the Hard Rock, and maybe he really did have some personal reasons for being there, like a friend's wedding or something, but right now, it looks like he's getting drunk while his teammates are busting their asses on the football field.
Should be a fun time when he gets back to camp......if he isn't traded before then.

The FBI is looking for a man responsible for five bank robberies in the Orange County area since September 1st. He goes up to tellers with a note taped to a binder demanding money in $50 and $100 dollar bills. They have dubbed him the Cuecard Bandit. I guess The Trapper Keeper Bandit was just too long.
The suspect is described as unshaven, 5 feet 6 to 5 feet 8 inches tall and 170 pounds, with dark hair. He wears a baseball cap with an unknown type logo, black framed sunglasses, a buttoned shirt and jeans, Eimiller said.If you have information, it is requested that you call the FBI at 310-477-6565. Personally, I'm too paranoid. They've probably got me wiretapped already. This is why I always answer the phone, "Fuck Hoover".

It was a stunning upset: the defeat of the Vision 2 Initiative. A David versus Goliath story when it came to how much money each side raised. But in the end, the little guys with less money came out on top.So what now? Will supporters try again?And what happens in the smaller communities banking on Vision 2's approval?"We are obviously disappointed. However, it does not diminish our commitment to this community, to this city and to this county," said Mayor Dewey Bartlett.Last week, the Mayor said failure to pass Vision 2 Prop. 1 would mean jobs lost at American Airlines.Still, backers remain committed to making improvements at the airport and keeping those workers here in Tulsa.Don Walker said, "We are proud of this community and this region. And we'll continue to do our best to grow and to create jobs in Tulsa County."Meanwhile, folks on the "Vote No" side are pleased with the outcome and know the time will come again when supporters will want to extend 2025.They tell Channel 8, that's fine. They are not opposed to improvements if they are well-planned.Ronda Vuillemont-Smith said, "When you throw that much money at a bad product, people still aren't buying it. And I think they feel the same way we did, that it was too rushed and just way too soon."The Tulsa Zoo had hoped to get a piece of the pie for some new exhibits. So in the future, its CEO hopes for the opportunity again.Terrie Correll says, "We'll go back and regroup and make another plan and get out there and make sure that our master plan gets implemented."Vison 2 would have meant millions of dollars in improvements for outlying communities like Glenpool.. where a state-of-the-art sports complex was planned at 161st and Elwood. Vision 2 would have covered $6-million dollars of the cost.But for now, plans for that "field of dreams" are out. Mayor Tommy Carner says, "At this point, I don't know. Again, we may look at some other funding. But if that happens it's going to be two or three years down the road minimum for us." The Mayor of Glenpool is not giving up on the idea of the "mega-sports" complex.But for now, he's cautious and says the money might be better spent on other city projects in the future.

There is nothing that I like more than a bar that also has elevated, "fancy" bar food. Jimmy's No. 43 is just that! A tiny little East Village hole, with a pseudo European flare, it has an extensive craft beer menu that includes a list of more obscure beers from recognizable craft breweries (Sixpoint, Brooklyn, Lagunitas, etc.), and the food is even better!
One of my favorite things about the menu is the specification on certain dishes of where products are from. The beef burger comes from Dickson's Farmstand Meats, a purveyor based out of New York that locally and sustainably produces beef, pork and lamb. They use Cayuga Farm Organics, out of the Ithaca, NY area, which supplies dry beans and grains. And they use Ronny Brook Farm's butter, a third generation family farm out of New York's Hudson Valley. I like knowing that what I'm eating is organic and coming from local farmers. I expect that kind of quality in New York, and it's nice when a restaurant, specifically a bar/restaurant, notates something as important as where your food is coming from.
Food Rundown:
Skillet-fried Beer Sausage, Dijon Mustard: Though I imagined that this would come as a full sausage I could cut, I wasn't disappointed that it came as pre-cut slices. Though it was less juicy, it had a crispy outside that worked well with the Dijon mustard – so good I was licking it off the plate with my fork long after the sausage was devoured.
Pork Belly: First of all I love pork. Second of all I love pork belly. So this dish was awesome. Perfectly cooked and flavored, the fat just melted in your mouth. I'm glad though that I split this dish with my friend, because although it was real tasty, it was also pretty heavy. Additionally, the menu said that it came atop polenta (Cayuga Farm Organics), escarole, and baby carrots; you can see from the picture that that wasn't the case. Instead it came atop corn, escarole, and pulled pork that was definitely marinated or seasoned with something sweet like cinnamon and nutmeg, a great contrast with the salty pork belly. And honestly, pork on top of pork… I have no complaints!
Grass-fed Beef Burger (Dickson's Farmstand) with Horseradish Crème Fraiche: As much as I loved the pork belly, I actually think this might have been my favorite dish of the night. At first I was skeptical about a burger that didn't come with some kind of cheese, but this horseradish crème fraiche on a medium cooked burger was just a real surprise. I also think it might have been the fact that this roll was one of the best burger buns I've ever had. I must also note that the bread they served us to start was some kind of challah-like bread that was really good too. Who knew the bread would be the star of the night? Overall though this combination made for a really great burger that I would definitely order again!
Side of Corn: This was perfectly cooked, spicy and delicious!
Next Time: I thought about getting the Sauteed Kale with Heritage Slab Bacon… but figured I had ordered enough pork for the night!

Built to Spill begin a sold-out two-night run at the Casbah on Sunday.
Feliz Cinco de Mayo! To celebrate the anniversary of Mexico beating France in the Battle of Puebla, more gringos take it to the streets than Mexicans, but everyone loves an excuse to have fun, so get out and enjoy some of San Diego's most delectable tacos, enjoy a couple yellow fizzy beers or a salt-rimmed margarita, then prepare for a night of music in San Diego. Legends Built to Spill are doing a sold-out two-night stint at the Casbah,and these shows are certain to become Casbah lore, locked into memories forever. But if you didn't grab a ticket, no reason why you can't get to Soda Bar to enjoy Beat Connection, celebrate a Conscious Party at the Griffin with San Diego's B-Side Players or enjoy a tribute to songwriting greats at the Belly Up. Then again, there's always Old Town's Cinco de Mayo, which should have Old Town Mex busting at the seams into the late night hours.

VANCOUVER -- David Booth didn't want to leave the Panthers, didn't ask to be traded as some others have.
When word came down from Dale Tallon on Oct. 22, 2011, that Booth was headed to Vancouver, Booth tearfully scrawled a message to his teammates on the white board and reluctantly trudged out of the arena.
The Panthers would play the Islanders later that night without No. 10 in the lineup.
"It was tough to say goodbye,'' Booth said then.
One of the more popular players in Florida during his six-plus seasons with the Panthers, Booth has struggled lately. Booth scored 16 goals in his 56 games in the season following the trade but only two in 25 games since.
Now in his third year with the Canucks, Booth has been plagued by various injuries (knee, ankle, groin). Booth has scored one goal in 13 games this season and spent time in the minors.
That's a far cry from Booth's time in Florida when he scored 31 goals in 2008-09 and a total of 87 in 309 games with the Panthers.
"He's gone through a number of injuries,'' Vancouver coach John Tortorella said. "You have to fight through it mentally and let yourself go. I don't think he's done that. He's a really good player. It's still there. We have to help him find it to help us be a better team.''
When the Panthers visited Booth's Canucks late Tuesday night, Booth wasn't on the ice after being deemed a healthy scratch by Tortorella.
"I obviously would have liked to play, this is a game that was circled,'' said Booth, who was hurt when Vancouver visited Sunrise in 2012.
On Tuesday morning, Booth was basically asked if he was worth his high price tag. The Panthers gave Booth a six-year deal worth $25.5 million — with the Canucks paying the brunt of it. Booth will make $4.5 million this season and $4.75 million next season.
Vancouver sent Mikael Samuelsson and Marco Sturm to Florida in exchange for Booth, Steven Reinprecht and a third-round draft pick.
"No one holds me to a higher expectation than myself,'' he said, barely looking up. "You know, 'To whom much is given, much is required.' That's an old Biblical principle that has always stuck with me. I know I've been given much and much is expected from me. I'm going to work as hard as I can.''
The Canucks are a team loaded with former Panthers. While Roberto Luongo still lives in South Florida and would have liked to return to the Panthers, Jason Garrison grew up in the Vancouver area and cashed in during free agency by leaving the Panthers for the Canucks.
Although saying he is happy in Vancouver, Booth admits he misses the low-pressure lifestyle that playing hockey in South Florida afforded him. Booth was happy to see the Panthers make it to the playoffs after he left.
If the opportunity came around for Booth to return to the Panthers, the thought is he would take it.
"Trust me, I look back with nothing but positives about Florida,''' Booth said. "There are things I miss, especially the ability to just go out and play. Here, it's hockey and that's all it is. In Florida you play and that suited my style. Maybe it doesn't for others. [But] there are things I love about here, there's no place I'd rather be.''
Winner, winner
Panthers coach Peter Horachek opened Tuesday's morning skate by reminding his team that the Panthers had never won a game in this building.
"I have,''' goalie Tim Thomas responded, drawing laughs from Horachek and his teammates.
Thomas, obviously, knows how it feels to win at Rogers Arena as he beat the Canucks in Game 7 of the 2011 Stanley Cup Finals here. Before Monday's workout, Thomas hadn't been back.
Florida came into Tuesday's game with no wins in 11 games (five ties) at Vancouver's GM Place/Rogers Arena. The Panthers' lone Vancouver win came in their first visit during their expansion year of 1993-94 and came at the Canucks' former home, the Pacific Coliseum.
• Roger Neilson was coach of the Panthers during that time as he was Florida's first bench boss, coaching the team for its first two seasons before being fired and replaced by Doug MacLean.
On Tuesday, the Panthers announced they would name the press box at BB&T Center in Neilson's honor. The unveiling of the Roger Neilson Memorial Press Box will take place Monday.
Neilson died after a battle with cancer on June 21, 2003.
"Roger brought me in and probably had the most impact on me as a coach,'' said television analyst Billy Lindsay, who played for Neilson during those first two seasons in Florida.
"He was someone I truly loved. He was a great coach and a great man. I think it's awesome that the team is honoring him this way. This is a great way to always remember him. I think he would have appreciated it.''
• Mike Weaver was declared out of Tuesday's game after missing the morning skate because of his illness. Weaver also missed Saturday's game at Colorado. Scott Gomez (groin) and Sean Bergenheim also were out of the lineup.

Book Description:
As women everywhere will attest, when it comes to understanding female sexuality, most guys know more about what's under the hood of a car than under the hood of a clitoris. And while it seems that men have struggled valiantly since the dawn of time to find ways to reliably elicit the female orgasm, rare is the guy who has the modesty to ask: "What do I do?" Ironically, the answer has always been right there on the tip of his tongue.
Welcome to the world of She Comes First, where the mystery of female satisfaction is solved and the tongue is proven mightier than the sword. According to Ian Kerner, clinical sexologist and evangelist of the female orgasm, oral sex has long been deemed an optional aspect of foreplay, but, in fact, it's coreplay -- simply the best way for leading a woman through the entire process of sexual response.
Fun, informative, and easy to read, She Comes First is a virtual encyclopedia of female pleasure, detailing dozens of tried-and-true techniques for consistently satisfying a woman and illustrated step-by-step instructions to ensure success. These simple methods represent a new era in sexual intimacy, one in which the exchange of pleasure occurs on a level playing field and fulfillment is mutual.
She Comes First exuberantly offers a fresh new sexual philosophy that inspires every man to make a mantra of Rhett Butler's infamous line to Scarlett O'Hara, "You should be kissed, and often, and by someone who knows how."
About the Author:

Choosing a headlight
The first step is to decide what kind of light you need. Do you only get caught out at night every once in a while, or is a dark winding path part of your daily commute? Are you more worried about throwing a lot of light ahead of you to illuminate your track, or would you rather be more visible to cars approaching from the side?
Here are our top picks and what they're best for. Check out the full list of headlights if you're looking for something else to match your needs!
Note (9/6/2014): Most of the lights on this page have since been replaced by newer models from the same manufacturer. I'm currently working on reviews for about 8 new lights, and will be updating this page as soon as I've tested the new candidates. In the meantime, keep an eye on the recent reviews page to read about new lights as they're tested! When purchasing, make sure to check the headlights database to see if another light might be a better deal.
Table of contents
The best bike light for commuters and casual off-road riding: Light and Motion's Urban Series
Everything about the Urban lights is nice. The build quality, the easy-to-use and sturdy mount, the optics, the extra side-LEDs, and all the other little details add up. Despite its name, the Urban is well suited to any kind of riding. Of all the lights I tested, I liked its optics the best. The lens spreads light very evenly, without any over-powering hotspots or any dead zones. Thanks to the amber side LEDs it also makes an excellent be-seen light, with over 180 degrees of visibility.
In July 2014 L&M released the Urban 2.0 series, available in 800, 650, 500, and 350 lumen versions, all of which are IP67 waterproof. I haven't used them in person as they were just released, but the specifications and design of all the new lights, particularly the optics, are very similar to the Urban 700 I reviewed previously.
Out of all of these, I think the Urban 500 is the best deal. That's plenty of light for most users, costs $100, and will likely be for sale on Amazon and other third party retailers for an even lower price soon. The Urban 350 is also a compelling choice for those who don't need as much intensity, but still want a high-quality light that's sufficient to light up the road and be seen. With an MSRP of $70, it's plenty of light for commuters and road riders, and at a good price. The older Urban series lights are still for sale too, and will likely drop in price as they're replaced by the newer models.
There are a few more reasons to buy a light from Light and Motion. Their customer support is prompt, friendly, and helpful. Their lights are manufactured – with much of the assembly done by hand – in Marina, CA; one of the last light manufacturers to do all of their assembly in the USA. Additionally, they were the first bike light manufacturer to adopt the FL1 standard, an industry benchmark for flashlights that measures and verifies brightness, battery life, water resistance, and drop rating. L&M is advocating for wider adoption of the FL1 standard in the bike light market, so that consumers know that the lights they buy are truly as bright as the label claims.
2nd favorite: Cygolite Expilion Series
The Expilion 700 is another of my favorites. Aside from the frustrating mount, it's a very solidly built and easy to use light. The beam is slightly narrower than the Urban 550's, but the extra 150 lumens make up for it. The Expilion 700 has been superseded by Cygolite's 2014 lineup, featuring the Expilion 680 and 800. The 680 is a particularly good deal, often available for under $90 on Amazon, and retailing for about $120 at local bike shops. These are the brightest reliable lights you can get for this price.
One of the most appealing aspects of the Expilion lights is their removable battery. Lithium batteries last longer than NiMH rechargeables, but still wear out eventually. With a removable battery, it's possible to replace just the battery - not the whole light - and allows you to carry extras for longer rides. Unfortunately, even though the shape of the battery stick clearly indicates that it's a single 18650 cell, there's no way to use your own: you have to buy the battery from Cygolite. There's also no external charger, so you can only charge the battery when it is inside the light. If they're going to use a proprietary case for a standard battery, Cygolite would do well to put the charging circuit on the battery itself so it could be charged separately while still using the light.
Best value: Cygolite Metro series
The Cygolite Metro has the best value of all the lights I reviewed. For just $50, the Metro 300 (now replaced by the Metro 360) has one of the best battery runtimes (7:00 on full brightness for the Metro 300), a unique steady-flash mode that illuminates your path while intermittently pulsing to grab drivers' attention, USB charging, and plenty of light output for most rides on roads and even paths.
The Metro 360 is also available in a combination pack with the Cygolite Hotshot, the top pick from our original tail light review. At just $80 on Amazon for the pair, this is likely the best combination for the price if you're looking for reliable, high-quality lights that aren't too expensive.
Last year Cygolite introduced the Metro 500, which has the same features as its predecessors with a higher output. I haven't ridden with the Metro 500, but checked it out in my local bike shop, and it's every bit as good as the other Metro lights I've extensively tested. It's a great deal for $55.
Although the Metro series lights are slightly more expensive than the Streak 280 (recommended below), you get a lot more light output for not much more cost, making the Metro lights the best value lights we've found.
Best bike light under $50: Cygolite Streak 280
The new Cygolite Streak 280 is nearly identical to Cygolite's Metro lights, but in a smaller, lighter package. With a peak steady-burn intensity of 280 lumens, it's bright enough to light up the road even in places where street lighting is unavailable, and the new Day-Lightning mode can boost its output up to 500 lumens for daytime visibility. The Streak also includes Cygolite's steady-pulse mode to light up your path while still providing extra visibility at night. Retailing for just under $50, it's the most versatile light we've seen for such a good price.
Best light-weight light for visibility: Serfas Thunderbolt
The Serfas Thunderbolt's novel design is well suited to being used as a safety light. It's quite bright, but the light is spread everywhere, making it great for being seen but mediocre for seeing the road. If you almost always bike on lighted roads or are rarely caught out after dark, this is a good choice for increasing your visibility. I'm also a big fan of the strap-on design, and its light weight is attractive as well.

Many families have rich and poor members, meaning that many parents have kids who are struggling, and kids who are doing well.
So, when Ma and Pa make their will, it would make sense to leave a bigger slice of what's left to the poor one. But that's not how we do things.
"If you are afraid of loneliness, don't marry," said Anton Chekhov. And he was right.
Saint Valentine was a roman priest who was beheaded in 170 A.D. on or around Feb. 14.
We've all seen them, two elderly people sitting silently across each other in the restaurant or diner, staring past each other in a dull deadening silence.
How long have they been married? A long time.
Was it always like this? No.
— Parents: don't buy the idea that your children "go through a phase" when they misbehave. If you do, your kids will try to get away with murder until they are in their "senior-citizen phase."

Engerdal is a municipality in Hedmark county, Norway. It is part of the traditional region of Østerdalen. The administrative centre of the municipality is the village of Engerdal. The new municipality of Engerdal was created on 1 January 1911 from parts of the municipalities of Tolga, Trysil, Ytre Rendal, and Øvre Rendal.
The first element is the river name Engera and the last element is dal, the word for "valley" or "dale". The river name is derived from the name of the lake Engeren, and this is probably derived from the Old Norse word ongr which means "narrow".The coat-of-arms is from modern times. They were granted on 8 February 1991. The arms show two pieces of a horse harness (the hames) in gold on a green background. The two objects symbolize the ties between horse and man and at the same Time the connection between work and recreation.

Is it baseball season yet?
Ive never followed The Eagles really, but even I knew their season was over weeks ago. Not much of a Flyers guy, which doesn't matter because the NHL is apparently being a bag of dicks to the whole fanbase of hockey. And I have never even attempted to watch a 76er's game, though I recently heard they're just over a 50/50 win/loss ratio. I just want baseball to start so I can go to a good ball game with people I care about, and have a damn good time. Spring training feels so far away.

The spring fashions shown during Fashion
Week in September were complemented with
textured styles. Experts predict fall fashions
this month will see even more curls, waves
and volume.
When Allen Ruiz, North American style director for Aveda and co-owner of Jackson Ruiz in Austin, Texas, heads out to New York for February's Fall 2011 Fashion Week, he predicts texture will be everywhere.

"At the Spring shows, there were hints of texture," says Ruiz, who will be doing the hair at such shows as Christian Siriano and Sophie Theallet. "At the Fall shows, we'll be seeing even more dramatic texture. Texture is here to stay, in some form or another."
The days of runways dominated by polished, smooth tresses may be a thing of the past, as a growing number of designers are opting for textured styles to complement their collections. Stylists want to make a statement, and make it big.

And there's no better way to do that than by playing up texture, whether it be sexy beach waves or a voluminous afro.
Designers such as Mark Jacobs, Anna Sui, Badgley Mischka and Alice + Olivia were among those who featured textured tresses at Spring shows. And texture will be a prevalent feature on the runways in February.
"Texture is going to play a dominant role," says Rodney Cutler, owner of three Cutler Salons and Redken expert stylist. "The new interpretations will incorporate curls, texture and braids within updos that take us away from that classic shape."
Curl expert Christo of Christo Fifth Avenue believes 2011 will be a year when women rock their natural look, "with a touch of the future."
"My favorite thing about textured hair is it is never dull and boring," says Christo. "It is natural, exotic and sexy when it is styled the right way."
"Texture to me creates dimension and gives you the freedom to create a newness to a hair style by incorporating different kinds of texture, whether it's a certain type of movement or a different finish to the hair through product usage," says Cutler.
"Fashion is about this organic evolution. I am thrilled where it is at the moment where we have these old Hollywood shapes incorporated with these varying textured techniques."
Braids plus texture equal a unique updo.
Loose curls left half down make for a softer textured look.

The Ultimate Fighting Championship awarded $65,000 for each performance based bonus following UFC 159: Jones vs. Sonnen at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J., on Saturday.
Pat Healy, Jim Miller and Roy Nelson took home the bonus money.
Lightweights Pat Healy and Jim Miller earned Fight of the Night honors for their back-and-forth contest that kicked off the Pay-Per-View portion of the event. Miller used speed and boxing to take the opening round, but Healy's size and tenacity took over as the fight wore on. Healy took Miller to the ground late in the final round, took his back and secured a rear naked choke finish with less than a minute remaining in the fight.
Healy's efforts also earned him the Submission of the Night bonus, banking him $130,000 in total bonus money for his UFC debut.
More MMA
The Knockout of the Night award went to Roy Nelson for his first round knockout of Cheick Kongo in heavyweight action. Nelson landed an overhand right that dropped Kongo early in the opening round. He finished with another well-placed punch on the ground that rendered the Frenchman unconscious.
The bonus money handed out following UFC 159 totaled $260,000.

– Belcher gets his ankle wraps cut off, then gets the nastiest eyepoke I've ever seen. Bisping manages to illicit even more hatred by celebrating his eyepoke win and showing virtually no compassion or concern for Belcher.
– Jones somehow suffers a compound fracture in his foot after the fight and nobody can determine what caused it. Then Rogan continues interviewing Jones as he's going into shock.
And another strikeforce cross over smashes his way into the ufc!
Don't forget about Bruce Buffer announcing the wrong winner.

I put a claim on him this week and won him. With all Bradshaws injuries and other running back trying out it seems crazy not to.
How the hell has he been available this long in your league? Guy is 15 points a game when he gets a proper amount of snaps. Nice pickup, I'd start him even if Bradshaw is playing.
He's been bounced around a lot, I might be the 3rd or 4th person to pick him up
He'd be top 15 if the Giants started him, hell, maybe Wilson would be, too.
Ugh, this thing frustrates me, and not just from a fantasy perspective.
I won quite a few games with Brown as my flex.
The one time I didn't start him, I lost, and Brown scored more points from my bench than Ray Rice... The sad thing is, I asked on nfl.com whether I should consider benching Rice vs the Texans in favor of Brown. Everyone thought I was ******ed for even considering the idea...
Regardless, Rice has been underperforming as of late, so I traded him for RG3 and will be starting Brown from here on out. Keeping a close eye on Wilson and will pick him up if he starts seeing carries and producing.

A Correction Function Approach to Solve the Incidental Parameter Problem
AbstractFollowing Lancaster (2002), we propose a strategy to solve the incidental parameter problem. The method is demonstrated under a simple panel Poisson count model. We also extend the strategy to accomodate cases when information orthogonality is unavailable, such as the linear AR(p) panel model. For the AR(p) model, there exists a correction function to fix the incidental parameter problem when the model is stationary with strictly exogenous regressors. MCMC algorithms are developed for parameter estimation and model comparison. The results based on the simulated data sets suggest that our method could achieve consistency in both parameter estimation and model selection.

"This is a great blank slate for whatever design and text you'd like to have, but so much easier than doing your own cards. Definitely use the motifs they provide. Charming, unique greeting that will stand out in your recipients' holiday cards!"
"I have to say you won't be able to buy any picture print cards with this much of a professional look to it. The quality is worth every penny. I was VERY please with my order with Tiny Prints. Some might look at this as well their prices are a little higher than else where but trust me when i say it's worth every penny spent.No I didn't get anything for saying this I was just that pleased with my Christmas Cards. I will use Tiny Prints again and will refer anyone else to them as well. Thanks for the great work! And i need to add that i was able to design my cards myself loved the fact that i didn't have to pick a card to just add pictures to it. I designed my whole card."
"I had a hard time finding a card to showcase my photos the way wanted. Other sites offered cards but either I was forced to use pics portrait or horizontal at their discretion and they didn't always correspond to the photos I wanted to use. This card gave me tons of choices to do it myself! I loved the choices for the back.. Had a photo I wanted to share but was different vibe than the front.. Got a chance to write well wishes too!! Probably would add a few more cute graphics. I love the fact I could write my own greeting on the front ! Thank you for offering the rectangular envelopes free of charge.. Last year ordered from another company and had to add extra postage as they didn't offer this choice!! This was a success and I would recommend highly!! Good luck and have fun!"
"I was worried about an aspect of the card and they sent me a free proof for my review. Loved it! It was great and quick!"

Teen mom denied right to breast feed
After sophomore Jaielyn Belong was denied breastfeeding accommodations at her Delaware high school, moms across Facebook came together to support the new mother.
Yesterday, a community – both real and virtual – came together when a Delaware teen was denied breastfeeding accommodations at her high school.
Five weeks ago, Felton High School sophomore Jaielyn Belong gave birth to her son, Adrian Amir Belong. As the new mom heads back to high school next week, she plans to exclusively breastfeed her baby as per the current recommendation by the American Academy of Pediatrics.
The only catch? The nurse, a counselor and a school administrator recommended Jaielyn only breastfeed her son before and after school hours, reports MommaTraumaBlog.com. This would mean Jaielyn could not pump for or nurse her baby for over eight hours every weekday.
More from MSN Living: 10 juicy mom confessions
This recommendation goes against Delaware law which reads:
31 Del. C. § 310
Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, a mother shall be entitled to breast-feed her baby in any location of a place of public accommodation, wherein the mother is otherwise permitted.

Local La Leche League (LLL) leader, Heather Felker, said Jaielyn "has shown great maturity by taking responsibility for her pregnancy and now her son. She chose breast milk as the healthiest possible start for her son, and as a cost saving measure for her family. By not supporting these choices, the school is sending a negative message."
Moms of all ages were outraged by this message and took to Facebook, starting a 'We support Jaielyn Belong' Facebook page that garnered more than 1,400 'likes' in one day.
School officials took notice, and the pro-pumping Facebook page posted a message they received from Jaielyn's mom, Betty Belong: "She's allowed to pump her milk and they will provide a private area for her!"
The post added that someone has agreed that if the school will give her the space she needs, they will donate a refrigerator so that she will have a place to store her milk.
"I only want what's the very best for him and it is scientifically proven, breast milk is the best choice," Jaielyn told MommaTraumaBlog.com.

I congratulate this young mother in doing what is right for her child. She could have chosen to have an abortion and ended a precious life, and hide the fact that she made a mistake. Instead, she has chosen to take responsibility for herself and her child by wanting to do what is best for the child and continuing her education so that she will be able to provide for herself and the child in the future. I'm sure she is embarrassed by the whole situation but she is trying to do to what is right. She needs support NOT criticism. I'm speaking from experience. I was a teen mother at 16. There was a lot going on in my life, my boyfriend comforted me and we loved one another. We made some bad choices; life was difficult; but, we ended up having a beautiful daughter. My high school allowed me to continue to attend classes during my pregnancy and after our baby's delivery. I graduated with my class and later contnued my education, became a nurse and obtained an MBA.. I worked in a hospital for over 30 years, taking care of the sick and injured. My boyfriend and I were married when I was 5 months pregnant. We had four beautiful daughters and are celebrating our 46th anniversary month.
I I I pray that this young mother sticks to her guns, gets her education and cares for her child the way babies need to be taken care of. If so, she will be more successful at life than the poor excuses for humans who have posted such negative things about her. And SHAME on that school nurse for recommending that she not feed her baby naturally. She should know better than to make such a suggestion.
In addition, I take offense to people who say that this young mother is a "waste" If she is, then so am I. I think the true "waste" are those who run down those less fortunate. They just don't get what life is all about. I'll pray for you too. I believe you need it more than this teen mother.

Park Smoking Ban
To the Editor:
The April 15 edition of Our Town included a front-page picture of people reading while sitting on the benches along Carl Schurz esplanade.

Isn"t it about time the mayor and City Council members pass a law prohibiting smoking from public parks in New York City?

AirGo, the ultimate wireless outdoor speaker uses Airport Express inside
The AirGo is a sturdy outdoor speaker designed by Russound, a company with years of experience making quality speakers. While there are a lot of great things about the AirGo, being shown off this week at CES 2012, the most interesting thing to me was that instead of using Bluetooth or cables or even embedded AirPlay for transmitting audio from a music machine, the AirGo instead has a space on the back for inserting your own Airport Express. You buy the speaker, and then put in your own little Wi-Fi unit from Apple, which is where all the audio comes from. There are some distinct advantages to this, one of which is that you can use the Express as a Wi-Fi extender (not to mention that you might already have one lying around your house). But the AirGo has more to it than the novelty of an actual Airport Express inside.
The enclosure of the AirGo can best be described as rugged. This unit is designed to live outside. Russound did extensive testing in a variety of harsh conditions to ensure that heat, rain, and all the elements an outdoor speaker might encounter will not affect the unit. And yes, we were assured the Airport Express can withstand some pretty harsh conditions (temperature-wise). The Express is sealed inside a watertight enclosure on the back of the speaker system, and they were smart enough to provide a way to see the status light on the Express without having to open this cover. And if your Express needs an update, that is easily done wirelessly as you would normally do. If the Express dies, you won't need to buy another speaker, either, and Russound specifically designed the form factor with plenty of space, so even if Apple changes the external look of the Airport Express, the new version will probably still fit just fine.
Business up front, party in the back
The speaker base is largely metal, giving it heft and rigidity. There's a large handle up top for moving the unit around. The speaker itself is incredibly high quality, and I was very impressed with the sound even when relatively quiet, so if you like a little background jazz while sitting on your patio, you'll still hear a very crisp and clear sound at low volumes. Then there's loudness, which was more than adequate. We were in a small room for the demo filled with executives and media types chatting, but we could hear the music quite well. The speaker quickly filled the room when cranked up, drowning all the noise out. From the heavy duty power cord to metal base to metal speaker grille, this thing is designed to last. There's also a power light on the front so you know it is on. The overall design reminded me of an old TV set, mounted on a pivoting armature.
Of course, quality doesn't come cheap. The speaker sells for $399 (not including the Airport Express), which some users might balk at, but this is not some cheapo plastic Bluetooth speaker you toss in your backpack. This is a product for people who care about quality and durability, and probably spend a lot of time lounging by the pool or perhaps entertaining outside. Really, I could see some business like a caterer using these to quickly set up ambient music at an event. So if you're looking for a solid product that can withstand any number of tough uses, that price tag makes a lot of sense in the long run. You'll likely be enjoying this speaker for years.
