Hi Sara.
I'm a mother of a five year old kid. I love him so much but he really gets on my nerves most of the time. He does things that irritate not just me, but the people around him, particularly his granny. When he's doing things that might lead to hurting himself, I definitely shout and curse at him, and eventually hurt him, and it does not matter if someone is around.
I am writing to you because I had this wake up call yesterday. He is asthmatic. And his pediatrician prescribed him an inhaler for maintenance. But he is just afraid of the thing. He doesn't like doing things in general, including getting a haircut! But I'm thankful he's smart in school though.
So each time, I have to force the inhaler into his mouth, and it would take us forever to achieve this, because he just wouldn't open his mouth. I had to win, so I scare him with things that would hopefully make him "obey" me, only to my disappointment.
It came to a point where he would be shaking with fear, but I won't stop because in my mind, he had to use the freakin' inhaler so he won't get sick again. I admit, there were times that I physically, mentally, and emotionally hurt him, but when I finally had the chance to shove the inhaler into his mouth,something white flew away, and his mouth started to bleed. He lost two of his teeth in an instant.
I don't know why I'm like this to my son,Sara. Sometimes. I see myself as a psycho-mom, someone who doesn't deserve to be with an innocent kid. I've shown him a lot of love an affection, but when I start losing patience, everything gets messed up. Please also advise me why I had to fight everyone who doesn't treat him well, including kids....

Magic Beyond Words: The J. K. Rowling Story is a Made For TV Biopic dedicated to, surprisingly enough, Harry Potter author J. K. Rowling, played here by Poppy Montgomery of Without a Trace fame. It originally aired on the Lifetime Network on July 18, 2011.The film follows Rowling from her childhood in The Seventies to the premiere of the first movie in 2001. It sticks fairly close to the known facts about her life, though with some dramatic embellishments here and there.The movie received mixed reviews, which is pretty good by normal Lifetime standards.

The Idle No More Movement – In Defense of the Earth for Future Generations
Gyasi Ross, Indian Country Today
Waking Times
Lately, Native people have taken to the streets malls in demonstrations of Public Indian-ness ("PI") that surpasses the sheer volume of activism of even Alcatraz and the Longest Walk. There's a heapum big amount of PI going on right now! Many people, non-Native and Native alike, are wondering what the heck is going with their local Native population and how this so-called #IdleNoMore Movement managed to get the usually muffled Natives restless enough to be Indian in public. I mean, like Chris Rock said, he hasn't ever even met two Indians at the same time. He's seen "polar bears riding a tricycle" but he's "never seen an Indian family just chillin' out at Red Lobster."
Yet, now people can't seem to get away from us.
And that's cool—but isn't that what pow-wows and November is for? People (non-Native and Native alike) can only take so much PI, right? Is that what the Idle No More Movement is—an extended Native American Heritage Month, where non-Natives have to act like they're fascinated by Native culture?
In a word, no. It is much more. Please consider this a fairly exhaustive explanation of the Idle No More Movement, what it is not and what it is. If for some reason you cannot read the next 1000 or so brilliant words, I can be summed up thusly: the Idle No More Movement is not a new movement. Instead, it is the latest incarnation of the sustained Indigenous Resistance to the rape, pillage and exploitation of this continent and its women that has existed since 1492. It is not the Occupy Movement, although there are some similarities. It is not only about Canada and it is not only about Native people. Finally, and probably most importantly, it (and we) are not going away anytime soon. So get used to it (and us).
"The ground on which we stand is sacred ground. It is the blood of our ancestors."
Chief Plenty Coups, Apsaalooke
"…you have come here; you are taking my land from me; you are killing off our game, so it is hard for us to live."
Tasunke Witko (Crazy Horse), Oglala Lakota
As the above quotes display, the Indigenous Resistance to the raping and pillaging of the Earth is not new. Likewise, Indigenous peoples' efforts to protect the mothers of our Nations—the women—are not new either. The Idle No More Movement is simply the latest chapter in that resistance.
It's About: PROTECTING THE EARTH. Idle No More is an inherently grassroots and localized movement, informed by the founders, but with local flair.
First and foremost, the Idle No More Movement is about protecting the Earth for all people from the carnivorous and capitalistic spirit that wants to exploit and extract every last bit of resources from the land. Therefore, anybody who cares about this Earth should be interested in the Idle No More Movement. The engineers were Nina Wilson, Sheelah Mclean, Sylvia McAdam and Jessica Gordon. It was a response to Canada's Bill C-45, which overhauled the Navigable Waters Protection Act and removed protections for many waters that go through First Nations. Changing the Act literally moves the emphasis of the protection—it morphs from protecting the waterways to protecting the navigation on those waterways. Now, instead of 30-some thousand lakes being protected under the old Act, only 97 lakes will be protected. As Canadian Parliament Member Kirsty Duncan eloquently states, "The days when Canadians take an endless abundance of fresh water for granted are numbered…"
These mobilized Native people wanted to ensure that children two, three and twelve generations from now would have clean water. The children who will benefit from the Native mobilization are not just Native children—it's for all children. Lakes and rivers tend to be either clean or dirty for Native and non-Native children alike.
It's not a Native thing or a white thing, it's an Indigenous worldview thing. It's a "protect the Earth" thing. For those transfixed on race, you're missing the point. The Idle No More Movement simply wants kids of all colors and ethnicities to have clean drinking water. It's also not a "Canada" or "United States" thing. Multinational corporations do not care about borders and neither should we. Despite legislation to intended to prevent pollution, corporations pollute freely with almost complete impunity and our children are the ones who suffer. We likewise should not care about borders—we are mobilizing on both sides because we understand that what we do affects one another.
We will continue to aggressively organize and be Idle No More about the attempts to destroy our sacred lands, whether its Keystone XL Pipeline or Tar Sands Mining in Canada. We will be Idle No More on SSA Marine's attempts to create a deep-water shipping terminal for water and air poisoning dirty coal in the Lummi waters near Puget Sound, WA or any disrespect to our lands.
We're not going anywhere, we're not going to be silent, we're Idle No More !
It's About: PROTECTING WOMEN. Similar to the sustained, capitalistic effort to exploit and pillage the Earth, the carnivorous, capitalistic nature has also exploited and abused women since the founding of both America & Canada. That is something else about which Indigenous people have vowed to be Idle No More. America's first marriage and property laws, or 'coverture,' stipulated that married women did not have separate legal existences from their husbands. Indeed, a married woman was a dependent and could not generally own her own property or control her own earnings. "…once she married she became a legal nonentity. Her husband not only assumed her legal privileges and duties but certain rights to her property as well." (Women, Family, and Community in Colonial America: Two Perspectives, Linda E. Speth, Alison Duncan Hirsch, Pg. 8.)
And that was for privileged white women. Obviously for Native women, Black women and any women of any other color who were unfortunate enough to live in the United States, it was much worse.
That pattern of condescension and indeed hatred for women has continued until the present. From the case Bradley v. State which affirmed a man's "right" to "moderately" beat his wife to the Indian Health Service's pattern of forced tubal ligations of Native women, the United States has shown a consistent trajectory of hatred and destruction for Native women.
Congress's recent failure to pass the Violence Against Women Act—specifically because Republicans did not want tribal law enforcement to be able to prosecute non-Native sexual deviants—is a continuation of that exploitation of our women. Similar to the "clean water" discussion, above, the protections afforded by the Violence Against Women Act protected women of all colors—not just Native women. Conversely, Congress's failure to act on the Violence Against Women Act hurts allwomen. Strong Native women leaders like Deborah Parker and others are advocating for safety and reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act for all women, not just a few.
It's not a Native thing.
It's a "NO women, of ANY color, should have to worry about getting raped" thing.
It's a "NO women, of ANY color, should get beaten and battered" thing.
Those who are transfixed by race, again, are missing the point.
And we will continue to organize and be Idle No More about this attack on the women within our communities, as well as all communities. That is not new and it's also not just about Native people.
We're not going anywhere, we're not going to be silent, we're #IdleNoMore !
It's Not an OCCUPY MOVEMENT. The Occupy Movement was powerful and necessary—yet the foundation was frankly not strong enough to sustain. Occupy was about a slowed-down economy and a lot of folks who were, unfortunately, out of work from that slowdown. As the economy began to improve in 2012 and also, significantly, the weather got colder, the Occupy Movement got noticeably weaker. As the economy got stronger, the sheer amounts at the Occupy events got smaller. Now, it looms very strong in everyone's psyche, whether we choose to acknowledge it or not; Occupy emboldened the Idle No More Movement, just like Syria, Egypt and Libya emboldened the Idle No More Movement. Absolutely. Still, Idle No More is NOT Occupy for these reasons:
The Primary Reason #IdleNoMore is Not Occupy—Native economies are NOT getting any better. In many of our communities, there is 70% PLUS unemployment—more than a simple "boom and bust" economic upturn can fix. There are structural problems that will prevent a quick-fix, and therefore most Indigenous Idle No More will not have an economic incentive to stop their activism.
#2 Reason #IdleNoMore is Not Occupy—We're Native… Hello? You're not going to scare us off with the cold weather. My friends have literally texted me pictures of sisters and brothers in Alberta and Saskatchewan standing outside with #IdleNoMore signs in -35 degree weather; I have spoken at events where it is freezing and brothers and sisters are outside in t-shirts.
If we're mobilizing 2,000, 2,500 people at an event in the freezing cold in January, just imagine how that number is going to multiply when it's 65, 70 degrees outside.
#3 Reason #IdleNoMore is Not Occupy—Occupy was snapshot response to a 3 year economic downturn. #IdleNoMore is a continued response to more than 500 years of destroying the Earth and exploiting women. The foundation on which we're building is literally centuries of resistance.
Finally, it's not Occupy because we are surrounding our advocacy around the specific substantive areas that were discussed earlier—protecting the environment and protecting Native women via the Violence Against Women Act. Yes, like Occupy, this is grassroots—the people are fluid and definitelycan change. Indeed, the specific subjects that we choose to organize around certainly could change in the future—whatever we need to be Idle No More about. Still, for now fighting against gratuitous exploitation of our lands and fighting against violence against women are areas where good organization can make a difference.
This has nothing to do with race or ethnicity. Native people did begin this movement—energized by Chief Spence's sacrifice and sparked by the Four Founders' initiative. Yet this movement belongs to anybodywho wants to stand up for the Earth and women and also make a positive change in the community. That means that non-Natives are certainly welcome. We need non-Natives involved to save this Earth, to give our children and grandchildren the same quality of life that we have enjoyed. It's about clean water. It's about clean air. It's about safety for all women. It's about making a positive change in our communities. Critics seem to be so caught up on race; yet even racists want their children to have clean water just like non-racists. Right? Well, we want racists (and NON-racists, of course) to have kids with clean water too. Oh, and we don't want them to get raped or beaten either.
Not too unreasonable, is it?
Here's a little music and video to close this piece. It's a project that we (Rock Paper Jet Productions, LLC) did with rapper and producer Brother Ali. Coincidentally, it doesn't mention race—it mentions wanting to make the world slightly better. And when it comes down to it, that what the Idle No More Movement is about.

It is so wonderful that this is happening …Peace to you
You should also be Idle No More about giving all People a voice in their own affairs through real democracy. Theoretically, democracy is a publicly owned system of governance designed to define and fulfill the true will of the People regarding anything that affects Us. What we mistakenly call democracy today makes a mockery of democracy. So, let's call that demockery.
Generations of bankster propaganda has villified democracy to the point that good men everywhere now equate it to Communism or worse, because Our unity is their worst nightmare. Democracy isn't two wolves and a sheep deciding what's for lunch. It's billions of sheep peacefully, cooperatively deciding what to do about the newly discovered few wolves in sheep's clothing that turned our beautiful Earth into Hell.
To see what real democracy might look like, please, go to http://www.MajorityVoice.org ~ Earth's first system of real democracy ~ plagued with mysterious attacks since inception. Only We will always have Our best interests at heart.
All democracy, real and unreal, carries the germ for failure: it attains its functionality through an enforcement (executive) branch which depends on communal funding. Once you establish the need for "protection" from this executive branch its demands for ever growing "security needs" become bottomless. It will never surrender any of its political power gains and will excuse its excesses as "the will of the voters".
"Democracy" as a viable, humanistic social philosophy needs to be abandoned. It has utterly failed. Its current application worldwide resembles fascism more that anything else. What it has become, and will always become, is rule by a mob of brainwashed "voters" calling themselves "the majority". And this is always a far cry from the impossible ideals that it preaches.
Oki Niksokowa,
It is astounding how many people are ignorant of why this is taking place. All across Yahoo! articles on this subject, people are commenting on money and the "rights "they" have that I don't"! It is really sad that these people have NO CLUE as to what this Canadian government is trying to do (once again) and how it will affect them. If bill C-45 is allowed to pass it will spell the further erosion of personal sovereignty for every person on the continent.
For a glimpse of the future if this bill is allowed to pass, google the words "water privatization Ecuador".
One final word to people who want to bitch about "what the Natives get that I don't"; if you do not stand up against tyranny, then you get oppressed. Why do you get taxed while Natives do not? Because you ACCEPT, through complacency, that you have to. If you want the same rights, then stand up for yourself and fight for them, like the Natives did. If you are too much of a coward to do that, then it is your own fault and you should shut-up and suffer in silence!
PS. I have genetic roots in Celtic Europe, Blackfoot North America, and Africa (not sure about which tribe), but my skin is white, my eyes are blue, and I do not have a "Native status card". I pay the same taxes as the rest of Canada. I do not, however, blame anybody for having something I do not, especially knowing the history of this land and how hard people have had to fight for basic human rights that the rest of us take for granted.
For anyone that wishes to liberate themselves from the darkness of ignorance, I recommend the following books (not a paid endorsement):
"Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee" by Dee Brown
"Stolen Continents" by Ronald Wright
"The Dispossessed" by Geoffrey York
We are ALL the children of the Earth and the Sky
Peace, Protection, and Power to the people, ALL people!!!!

"These came out amazing! The colors are vibrant and I love the way the upgraded pearl finish looks. People have been asking where I got them and are shocked when i tell them they aren't from some fancy boutique but rather ordered online from the comfort and convenience of my bed. I adore tiny prints. The customer service is also amazing. I made an error on my original batch and the rep told me to send them back and they gave me a full refund. I couldn't believe it! They really just want their customers to be happy and will do what needs to be done to make that happen. This is my second time using Tiny prints and I'm officially a loyal customer now!"
"I ordered my daughters birthday invitations from here for the 2nd year & just like the 1st time, they are so unique & beautiful!! Not only that, but they arrived almost a week ahead of the given delivery date!!! How amazing! This is definitely where I will always order from in the future. :)"
"I got this card for my daughters 1st birthday, and I loved them! The party is rainbow theme, so they went with that. I wanted something with good quality but didn't want to pay an arm and leg! The paper the cards come on is very thick and the pictures look great! I definitely will be using tinyprints again for cards! They also got here really quick after I ordered and they come packaged in a box so they wouldn't bend before you get them! Very happy with my purchase!"
"Crayons of Color invite is a beautiful card and the colors just pop! I was pleased with my order. The font was a bit small on the card, but it didn't take away from the invitation. Perfect invite for an Art Birthday Party!"
"I chose Special Ticket invitation for my son's baseball themed birthday party. The quality of the invitation is exactly what I expected. It's high quality and truly evokes the baseball theme that I was looking for. It actually looked like a ticket to a baseball game ( or whatever ticketed event you want it to be) only personalized with my son's picture. I highly recommend it. So glad to discover Tiny Prints. I've already placed another order for my older son's graduation announcement."

I doubt I'll log in for the next few days. There are -always- glitches and problems when this sort of patch rolls out and I don't want to end up stuck in the air off the coast of Desolace endlessly running nowhere again. It took GM's a few hours to put me back on solid ground. lol
That happened to me. Had to have a Warlock friend summon me. Did wave to a friendly BE who was stuck up there too. (I am Alliance). Funny thing was, I was there long enough to watch the sun going down wherever I was. Showed I was somewhere near Desolace. I had fallen down the lift at Aldors.

Growing up as the only child of a single mother, I felt like my mom was more of a best friend than an actual parent. Later I blamed my mom for giving me what I wanted instead of what I needed. But now that I'm a single mom myself, I realize it's a lot harder to be an authority figure than a BFF. Especially after a divorce. That's when CafeMom co-founder Andrew Shue found himself falling into best bud mode with his three boys. On the latest episode of the new CafeMom Studios' series Mad Life, Shue talks about his post-divorce struggles with guilt and loneliness and how he started spending all his time with his kids, "staying up late and watching Yankee games" and having fun and generally being more of a pal than a parent. Having been there, on both sides, I can most definitely relate.
So I know how important it is for "best friend" parents like Shue to have "authority figure" parents around as reminders to stay strong. Shue's mother-in-law Joan Robach (mom of two) and comedian pal Chuck Nice (father of two) are perfect examples: "It's okay if your kids don't like you," said Robach. Love and respect are more important. Or in other words, don't worry about saying "no," worry about what kind of people they'll grow up to be if they never hear it.
Check out the clip for more tips:
Helpful advice, right? Particularly for pushovers like me. I especially liked hearing Shue talk about how he transitioned his kids back to being his kids instead of his friends (there's hope for all of us!).
Are you a best-friend or a best-parent?
Image via CafeMom.com
I have a "friend" who treats her 12 year old like a friend and not her kid. No one wants to be around that kid because she thinks she is on the same level as an adult.
I don't like that kind of parenting. You need to be a parent, not an equal.
Sometimes it's not all true. I am a young mom and I have three boys and their 23, 18 & 16. And I raised them as a parent but also as the best friend they will ever have. And it worked out because they know they can always come to me with any issues that they might have and they still do til this day. My 23 yr old has a family of his own. And he said he wants to raise his daughter they way I raised him. My 18 yr old is off at school. And my 16 yr old is in high school. They know they have limits. I stressed that out in the very early ages. Respect me as your mother but I am also your best friend. When asked to go to the mall with their friends they want me to come along. They do not and I mean do not use any curse words around me. They don't like it when I do it. My kids will show respect to any and all adults. If you don't set the boundries of course they will walk all over you. And they never crossed those boundries with me. A lot of my friends and family say I did a Great job raising my kids by myself. That they are really good kids. I just Thank God for his help.

Calzaghe is da' man. I know Jones is a spent fighter, but Calzaghe is no "spring chicken" either. If Calzaghe was American he would get a lot more publicity. He deserves it.
2 thoughts on "Joe Calzaghe is the Man!"
46-0 and he never dodged anyone. I'd hate to see him fight on and lose that unbeaten record.
He's a gent too. In fact he and Jones Jr. are two of the best sportsmen of their era, always dignified and respectful of their opponents – that's increasingly rare these days
I could whip Joe Calzaghe's ass.

23 Pumpkins to Paint and Decorate
Better Homes and Gardens
From basic black and white to a doiley design, Better Homes and Gardens offers 23 different painted options, all with easy instructions for the non-crafty among us.
Sure, we won't miss the goopy hands and messy table, but the roasted pumpkin seeds are definitely a casualty of going with this option. Have you ever given up carving for painting? If so, what were the results?
6 Comments
I was just thinking about our lack of carved pumpkins on front porches here in the Bay Area...but with our hot weather this time of year, they turn into curious mold-factories within just a couple days. *sigh* Painting is a much better option.
More projects that I would love to do if I actually had the free time. ugh!
ah these are so pretty, it makes me wish we had a bigger halloween tradition in england but we've just copied off america really. no-one decorates their houses though and if i put a pumpkin outside it would probably get stolen!
I love Halloween because you can do the double duty decorating for Thanksgiving as well. I did the BHG doily project shown above on the orange pumpkin but it did not come out that well. Trying to get a paper doily to conform to a round pumpkin is not an easy task so the stenciling is less than perfect. It came out okay but I have been much more pleased when I used the pumpkin carving kits (http://www.pumpkinmasters.com/) or just have done my own thing.
I live in Florida so if we carve it has to be the night before or it's mush!
Happy Halloween!
~Lorrie @ mydesignsecrets.com.
afeitar, put it in your window. :)
My most delightfully crafty friend has an annual pumpkin decorating party that's become a fall tradition. She supplies all the paint, glitter, ribbons, etc. and everyone brings a pumpkin. This year I did one of the BHG projects (the one with the bats) (I wasn't creative enough to come up with my own idea, sadly), and it came out really well. So, consider this a vote for decorating vs. carving, though both have their appeal. I have to say the lack of mold is definitely a big bonus.

At 8:30 A.M., I was currently trying to open my locker while the boys were leaning against the lockers beside mine as though they were my bodyguards. Talk about dramatic, right?
"Hey Riley."
I turned my head so that I could see Cassy waving at me and giving Sawyer an one arm hug. It took all my courage to not show any sign of repulsiveness and kept my face impassive. I checked Cassy out from the top of her cross and hearts racerback cami to the bottom of her high waisted jean shorts. What made my stomach twisted into knots was her warm and friendly smile and outgoing personality.
Forcing a smile, I said, "hey Cassy."
Very quickly, I turned away and reached into my locker so that I could pick up my textbooks and shove them into my bag. But to my utter dismay, when my gaze landed on Cassy again, I found her and Sawyer kissing each other.
"Get a room, you two," Vincent said, rolling his eyes.
Sawyer and Cassy broke a part and Sawyer wiped his mouth with the back of his hand. "We will, later," he said, joking and slipping his hand around Cassy's waist.
"Make sure you lock the door because knowing Riley, she's probably going to walk in at the wrong time again." Vincent responded, smirking at me.
I elbowed Vince lightly in the stomach. "You're not funny."
"I was just joking, little R," he said, using Spencer's nickname for me.
"Don't call me that," I said, frowning. .
"Aw, don't be like that, little R," he responded as he swung his arm across my shoulder.
"I'm older than you," I reminded him, pushing him back. "I'm anything but little!"
"But I'm taller and stronger than you," he retorted, grinning triumphantly.
"You're like the annoying younger brother I never had," I muttered under my breath.
"Older brother," he corrected, nudging me playfully.
"Younger," I said firmly.
"Vince," Sawyer said, glaring at his brother, "just play it nice. Stop harassing Riley."
Vince frowned, chuckling softly. "Fine. Whatever."
I gave Sawyer a warm smile of appreciation and he responded by shrugging although a small smile also curled onto his lips.
"Oh, Riley, we should definitely hang out after school. Let me show you around sometimes," Cassy chimed in, grabbing onto my arm.
I smiled halfheartedly as I nodded my head, "Yeah, sure, maybe." Without really wanting to hurt Cassy's feelings, I pulled my arm out of her grip and took a few steps back. "I should probably go now. I don't want to be late on my first day," I muttered.
"Oh okay," she responded, "I understand. I'll see you at lunch then?"
"Sure," I mumbled, cascading my gaze down to the floor as I walked pass her and Sawyer and headed towards my class just down the hall.
Lunchtime used to be a no-brainer for me for me. Every day from kindergarten until eleventh grade, I sat with Mandy, Eva and Terri. Not once did I have to worry about finding a new niche to fit into. Yet all of that was in the past. Now I was holding a tray of cafeteria food, wondering what to do with myself. I did a quick scan of the cafeteria. I didn't recognize anyone but mostly everyone seemed to be friendly enough to approach.
If only I could get over myself and make the first move, I thought.
"Riley, over here!" came a voice out of nowhere. Seconds later, I saw Amy waving at me and gesturing me to go over to the table where she and another friend was sitting at.
"Hey," I said, grinning.
"Do you want to sit down with us?" Amy asked, scooting closer to the her friend so that I had room to sit down.
"Thanks," I said shyly, sitting down.
Amy smiled and began her introduction. "This here," she swung her arm across the girl's shoulder, "is my best friend, Mina Cannon."
"Hey there," she said, waving.
"Hey," I replied nervously, giving her a quick once-over. Mina had long wavy brown locks that fell over her shoulders and she was wearing a burgundy sweater that was matched with a pair of skinny jeans.
"Gosh, I'm starving," Amy announced, taking a bite out of her lunch. How were your classes, Riley?"
"Me too," I chimed, picking up my fork so that I could slice my barbecue chicken into pieces. "It was okay. Not too bad. Now, I'm looking forward to the classes that we'll have soon."

Two systems approved by FIFA for worldwide use.
Goal-line technology moved a step closer to the Premier League after FIFA approved two systems for worldwide use.
GoalRef and Hawk-Eye both signed licence agreements on Tuesday after FIFA had previously given the green light for the ground-breaking introduction in July.
Following extensive reviews and field tests, this latest development means that football leagues and competitions around the world are now able to implement either system in order to eradicate controversial incidents and decisions.
The subject, a constant talking point in the game, resurfaced once again last month. Victor Anichebe's late header against Newcastle was adjudged not to have crossed the line by the officials, with replays suggesting otherwise.
Everton manager David Moyes has repeatedly backed calls for the introduction of technology and did so again after the 2-2 draw with the Magpies.
He said: "If you're the linesman running the line, you'd hope he sees the ball cross the line, that's their job.
"But incorrect decisions do affect the outcome of a game. We all know the tools will come in eventually."
Goal-line technology is due to be used for the first time in December at the FIFA Club World Cup.

Nvidia: Tegra Puts 8 Processors Inside Zune HD
Nvidia makes it extra official today, plus 50 more Tegra projects in the works.
We've known since June that Nvidia's Tegra chipset will be powering the Microsoft Zune HD, but the graphics chip specialist decided that today would be a good day to make it official with a press release.
Now that Microsoft has loosed almost all the details about the Zune HD, most importantly its quickly-approaching September 15 launch date, Nvidia is divulging more information about the hardware.
Specifically, the Tegra provides the Zune HD with eight independent processors, each designed for a specific class of tasks - among them are an HD video processor, an audio processor, a graphics processor, and two ARM cores. Furthermore, the processors can work together or independently to minimize power consumption.
"Tegra provides the multimedia muscle in Zune HD," said Michael Rayfield, general manager of NVIDIA's mobile business. "Users will love the device's new design, amazing multimedia features and HD video out capability. Zune HD is a must-have for anyone looking for the best portable digital media player on the market."
With HD-compatible video, HD Radio receiver, full-screen Internet browsing, Wi-Fi and an OLED touch screen, we're certainly looking forward to the Zune HD. Nvidia says that there are 50 active Tegra processor-based design projects currently in the works today.

5griffed88 , August 17, 2009 7:00 PMmeh, it'll only be good if it gets the third party support that the iphone/ipod touch gets.
I still wished that microsoft added the phone in zune hd. It would compete against Iphone and perhaps, beat the shit out of it.
0Glorian , August 17, 2009 7:11 PMThis looks promising, I'm looking forward to upgrading, I have had my zune 30g for almost 3 years, and has done me good, save for that one new years day
5chuckdalton , August 17, 2009 7:12 PMI don't care if they put 50 cores in there, I will have to see it work and how user frenidly it is before I'm even tempted to buy it. You can put a porsche engine into a hyunday accent, it will only be a powerful useless car.
1Honis , August 17, 2009 7:22 PMIf it gets more than 8 hours of battery life this would compete with netbooks. Can't wait for this market to get some competition.
7tenor77 , August 17, 2009 8:10 PMleon2006The IPHONE OS is becoming the next DOS/WINDOWS in the portable multi-media business.
Personally I think you're over selling the iphone. In terms of importance Blackberry was huge for making phones more than just phones, but there are a lot of smartphone competetors out there with just as much marketshare. It gets a lot of attention but to compare it to Dos? It needs a much larger marketshare first and don't expect companies to use this as their standard issue phone. In my company the Blackberry is still standard issue.
But can it run CUDA?
1mlopinto2k1 , August 17, 2009 8:17 PMchuckdaltonI don't care if they put 50 cores in there, I will have to see it work and how user frenidly it is before I'm even tempted to buy it. You can put a porsche engine into a hyunday accent, it will only be a powerful useless car.Sorry, that is a piss-poor analogy. I would kill to have a Hyundai Accent with a Porsche Engine! That little firecracker in my grannies panties would be one hell of an attraction at a drag strip. =D
Jeepers it almost deserves the question
"Can it run Crysis?"
3apache_lives , August 17, 2009 9:24 PMwill it crash and burn like there laptop counterparts?
3nukemaster , August 17, 2009 9:34 PMWell the OLED screen has my attention.
I liked my Creative Zen micro photo screens view from any angle OLED screen allot.
1megamanx00 , August 17, 2009 9:39 PMAnyone else reminded of the Sega Saturn? I just hope it's put together better and has sufficient RAM.
0Leandri , August 17, 2009 9:41 PMI think it honestly has a chance at keeping it's foot in the door as far as the market goes, the features above will at least compete with Apple's iPod Touch lineup (which is basically an iPhone without the phone). I'm interested to see how Microsoft handles addons, media drm, and online capability. It certainly sounds like it has the power to do some of the things a pc can do.
At the very least, we can expect it to take at least a backseat to the iPhone like the Palm Pre has.
0Anonymous , August 17, 2009 9:59 PM@ apcahe, what the hell are you talking about? m$ OWNS laptops, they OWN desktops. they have the number one OS market share. Maybe you are refering to the Nvidia and I am missing your point? I for one am excited and will hold off until I read at least ten different reviews from my fav websites. Ars Technica, Toms, Engadget, bOy genius, slashgear, gdgt, wired gadget blog, not too mention a through google news search the day of launch. am I missing any?
-1leon2006 , August 17, 2009 10:06 PMSimple and Practical application that average people need. Its the bulk of the market.
Nobody cares the cores...
I have both Blackberry and Iphone... There is far more APPS in iphone than the blackberry. The ease of use is one sided...
JAPAN has the most advanced portable HW in the entire world. For the first time in history a foreign brand is on top of the market.
0nachowarrior , August 17, 2009 10:24 PMI thought that "tegra" originally set out to puta "SOC" or system on a chip, making all of those functions handled by a single uberchip. Hmm... seems they changed their strategy from last year.
0matt87_50 , August 17, 2009 11:29 PMhmm, looks like a waste having all the processors doing specific things? so when I wanna play an awesome game the HD video processor will just sit there doing nothing? would be cool if they were more generalized and could balance the entire load across all the processors?
meh, I'm sure they know what they are doing.
-1matt87_50 , August 17, 2009 11:43 PMleon2006The IPHONE OS is becoming the next DOS/WINDOWS in the portable multi-media business.
If I recall correctly you can develop and distribute on DOS/WINDOWS free of charge and scrutiny. this would be a big deal to some people, (like, i dono... Google?). also maybe you will show me how you run two apps at the same time with the iPhone? how you run apps in the background??
also, if you are talking about market penetration, fact of the matter is, the iphoneOS will only ever run on apple products, I would think that android is much more likely to become the dominant mobile OS (or mabey it will just turn into the linux of mobile OSs). at any rate, the most the iphone OS will ever become is the MAC OSX of mobile OSs...
0HariSeldon , August 18, 2009 12:28 AMeverything looks fine , except the resolution. a higher resolution would really make this thing winner.

NJIT's Architects Offer Full Scholarship for Skate-Board Park Design
September 29, 2003
Like many a creative professional, NJIT's Jim Dyer, associate dean of architecture, knows a sure method for trend-spotting. He listens to his four children. As a result, this year NJIT's School of Architecture's high-school-student design competition will tap into a hot national trend, the popularity of skateboarding. The school will hold a contest challenging entrants to come up with plans for a public skatepark. Contest announcements will be mailed to 15,000 students across the nation on Oct. 10. NJIT's goal in sponsoring the contest is to attract national talent to the school, Dyer says. "It's our way of extending the the talent pool." The competition, an annual event for the NJIT School of Architecture, has drawn hundreds of entrants in past years. The first prize, five-year scholarship to the architecture school, has a value of $65,000 to out-of-state students. Second place will be a five-year scholarship offering a 50 percent reduction in tuition each year. The specific design topic changes every year. Dyer, and special lecturer John Nastasi, a Hoboken architect who is contest coordinator, think this year's topic will be a winner. Though skateboards have been around for decades, the art of riding them has more recently become a commercially endorsed sport. Skateboarding has professional athletes and is featured in the "X Games" a televised competition organized by the ESPN cable network. Building and designing the parks has become an industry in itself. There are close to 500 skateparks in the nation, according to skateboardparks.com. California leads the nation with 68 skateparks. Of New Jersey's 12 parks, several are commercial enterprises, such as the nearby RexPlex, a 2,000 square-foot indoor facility near Newark Liberty International Airport in Elizabeth, NJ. But more and more communities are building their own parks, says Dyer. Not only can the sport be fun to watch, having a sanctioned park keeps skateboarders away from other public spaces where they can be a hazard to pedestrians. Dyer says sons Christopher, 14, and Brendan, 10, had been telling him all summer that building a town skatepark would benefit their own community, Danbury, Connecticut. "They even petitioned our mayor," says Dyer. Figuring that if his kids are interested, others will be too, Dyer hopes this year's challenge could draw a record number of entrants. "Last year's design project was a community center. Boring," Dyer says, "We got 100 entries. The year we asked for a design for a firehouse we had over 1,000 entries." Nastasi--who says he skateboarded in his youth on the Wildwood boardwalk--is also excited about this year's topic. He sees the parks as public theatre. The design criteria call for a skateboard arena, where participants will ride their boards; seating for spectators; and a service facilty to include locker rooms, maintenance and administration areas, and a first-aid station. "It's a kind of modern urban theatre," says Nastasi, "an idiosyncratic contemporary urban landscape." From an architectural viewpoint, the design will be judged on how well the student contestant incorporates the "skin" of the structure, the forms of skateboard ramps, the need for access--all with an eye to making the structure enticing to the public as a park while making efficient use of the alloted space. The deadline for entrants will be in February and the winners announced May 3, 2004. "This our year to be dramatically different," says Dyer. ---Gale Scott >>

My Homage to Martin Luther King Jr.By Michael Nagler, Metta Center for Nonviolence | Op-Ed
I never knew Martin Luther King, Jr., but I grew up politically in his America. My personal awakening to nonviolence came one day in Greenwich Village when I happened to listen in to a radio broadcast covering a Civil Rights rally going on somewhere down south. A justifiably angry African American man said to the rally organizer, "They beat us, they hit us: why don't we use violence back?" The leader, whoever it was, calmly said, "Because that is not who we are." From that moment on I lived with the vague feeling in the back of my mind that not only is nonviolence a key to what I want to be, it's what we are as human beings, nonviolence is the destiny toward which we have to strive – if the human experiment is to go on on planet Earth.
Corporate Chemical SpillsBy Jim Cullen, The Progressive Populist | Op-Ed
On Jan. 9, the US House of Representatives passed HR 2279, which would gut the nation's hazardous waste regulations. This bill, called the Reducing Excessive Deadline Obligations Act, would amend both the Solid Waste Disposal Act and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (commonly known as Superfund). It would remove requirements that the Environmental Protection Agency periodically update and review solid waste disposal regulations, and would make it harder for the government to require companies that deal with hazardous substances to carry enough insurance to cover cleanup. The bill would also require more consultation with states before the government imposes cleanup requirements for Superfund sites — places where hazardous waste is located and could be affecting local people or ecosystems, Kate Sheppard reported at HuffingtonPost.com.
All You Need for a Financial Crisis...By James Kwak, The Baseline Scenario | Op-Ed
. . . are excess optimism and Citibank."
That's a saying that someone, probably Simon, repeated to me a few years ago. Crash of 1929, Latin American debt crisis, early 1990s real estate crash (OK, that wasn't a financial crisis, just acrisis for Citibank), Asian financial crisis of 1997–1998, and, of course, the biggie of 2007–2009: anywhere you look, there's Citi. Sometimes they're just in the middle of the profit-seeking pack, but sometimes they play a leading role: for example, the Citicorp-Travelers merger was the final nail in the coffin of the Glass-Steagall Act and the immediate motivation for Gramm-Leach-Bliley.
New York Senator Chuck Schumer and Texas Governor Rick Perry Support CO and WA Right to Legalize MarijuanaBy Tony Newman, Drug Policy Alliance | Press Release
Schumer, the senior U.S. Senator from New York and the third ranking Democrat in the Senate, made the statement just days after similar comments by Texas Governor and former Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry. At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Perry, defended the right of Colorado and Washington to legalize marijuana and said that Texas had implemented "policies that start us toward a decriminalization." Perry was speaking on a panel about drug policy along with Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos former UN General Secretary Kofi Annan, who both spoke out in favor of significant drug policy reform.
The Salinas ProjectBy Carolyn Brown, The Salinas Project | Op-Ed
About one hour south of the wealthy Silicon Valley, and twenty minutes east of the affluent Monterey/Carmel area, home of the famous Pebble Beach Golf Course, sits the agricultural town of Salinas. The city of Salinas is at the head of a fertile valley – a part of the country brought into America's consciousness through the stories of John Steinbeck. Along with an abundance of other crops, 80% of the nation's lettuce and artichokes are grown here. Every day, Americans eat produce that is handpicked by immigrant farm workers in this area, but few understand the challenges the farm workers and their children face.
SOTU: President's Base Opposes Fast Track for TPPBy Staff, Citizens Trade Campaign | Press Release
US Education System in Deepening Crisis: What Can be Done About It?By Staff, Labor Fightback Network | Press Release
Public education, one of the storied pillars of our society, is under attack by people and institutions who like to think of themselves as "reformers." What is the message of these self-styled reformers? They contend that the public schools have "failed." They want to close "underachieving" public schools. They want to fire teachers and kick out teachers' unions. They want to privatize public schools. Finally, they want to embrace high-stakes testing.
A Dream Deferred: "This Rigid Refusal to Look at Ourselves"By PL Thomas, The Becoming Radical | Op-Ed
"What happens to a dream deferred?" asks Langston Hughes in "Harlem."
As a poem of social consciousness, "Harlem" may often be reduced to literary analysis or an artifact of the Harlem Renaissance; as schools become more and more focused on the Common Core and raising scores on the related next-generation tests, the poem is likely to be (if at all) just one more text for close reading practice.
Myths that Are Impediments to PeaceBy Dr James J Zogby, SpeakOut | Op-Ed
In a meeting I had this week with a congressional candidate, I was reminded of the power of the myths that define conventional wisdom about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the challenge they pose for rational discourse. In rapid succession my visitor rattled off a number of statements revealing how much he didn't know about the conflict and how steep the climb for those who seek a just peace.

too many broken pieces too soon
Member since
Used these binding for only about 15 snowboarding days this winter. One toe strap ladder broke off at the binding end. One ankle ratchet quit working and replaced it with a generic one that didn't quite fit the Rome ladder, so had to also replace that ladder. And one screw came all the way off and the ankle binding came off. This happened on a lift unload with a free foot, so the board came completely loose.
Still using the thing with improvised fasteners and checking the hardware every single day for tightness. But I have never had a binding fall apart so many ways so fast.
Highbacks incompatible with certain boots.
William Horsley
Member since
these bindings do not work with certain boots such as Burton Invaders. The highbacks come no where close to being in contact with the back of your boot, even when they are adjusted to their farthest forward pivot point. Just keep this in mind when purchasing.
Are these of good quality?

....and not even made it to the slope. The tool free, adjustable toe plates are near enough impossible to move. Contacted a rep at Rome to be told they are "a little tough" initially - understatement!! Have only been able to move ONE toe plate out of 4 (bought two pairs). Rome, you can stuff your tool free toe plates - I'd rather you had to unscrew them!
Member since
The ankle strap won't stay tight/locked while riding. the toe strap adjuster would slide everywhere and was just a pain. everytime i strapped in i had to recustomize them. not happy! going with Technine

Goodwill Industries celebrated a new Omaha addition with a ribbon-cutting ceremony Friday.
The facility at 72nd and F streets will provide services and programs that had been housed at the 41st and Pacific location for the past 50 years. One of the most unique services is the agency's computer salvage operation, though that's only part of what's offered at the new location.
"This is a 92,000-square-foot building we occupy that will have two stores in it," said Randy Parks, Goodwill's vice president of retail operations. "One is our by the pound kind of an outlet store and the other one is our Goodwill computer store called Good Bytes and that's 2,000-square-feet we opened up today."
In addition, the expansion houses the Internet retail store and allows room for worker training and transportation needs. The worker training program is designed for high school students with special needs and allows them to get job skills while still in school.

We have a strong organic gardening community of more than 80 members. Our present motto is: 'He who plants a garden, plants happiness'.
