After a commercial break, Michael Elgin is interviewed and tells Kevin Steen that a lot has changed in the last year in ROH as he has stood across from him in the ring and has now stood beside him. Elgin says he knows what Steen brings to the table, and he knows how good he is and how serious he can be. Elgin says Steen is known for making jokes but it's time to be serious as Steen knows how much this match means to him as it brings him one step closer to the ROH World Title. Footage is shown of Elgin beating Paul London in the first round and then Karl Anderson in the second round. Steen is shown challenging Elgin and saying that Elgin is worried as he knows he can't beat Steen.

Kevin Steen is interviewed and says tonight is a big night in ROH. Steen says to watch him and Elgin step in the ring one more time and to watch Steen take one step back toward being champion again.

Steen rolls over and applies a crucifix. Elgin elbows Steen in the head but Steen hits a lariat and a sleeper suplex. Elgin blocks a package piledriver but Steen hits two sleeper suplexes. Elgin hits a clothesline and then counters a package piledriver attempt and applies a crossface. Steen taps out and Elgin advances to face Adam Cole in the tournament finals next week.
I enjoyed both matches a lot this week and appreciated that they were quite different from each other. While the usual criticisms can be made of too much happening on the home stretch, I did like that Steen was doing different things including technical wrestling and a cross bodypress (and I say this as a fan of his usual work). Elgin worked well with him. Ciampa was good as well but Cole probably had the best performance on the show, continuing to work his heel turn well and show why he has made such a great heel in other companies such as PWG. Next week should be a good conclusion to this tournament and I really do think they would do well to do some type of video collection of the entire tournament as it was been very good in-ring and is one of the better tournaments I can think of in a while other than the G1.

Turns out, even being in a fake POW camp is a nightmare.
Photo by Mike Brown /Landov
After nearly a year out east, I returned to California in January of 1994 with orders to report to HS-10, the helicopter training squadron in San Diego where I would spend six months learning the ropes before finally deploying as part of an operational squadron. But there were a few more hurdles to clear first, and the toughest of these was what came next. Before you can become a pilot, rescue swimmer, or any other job where there is significant risk of capture, you need two things. You have to have secret clearance, and you have to go to survival school.
The term "boot camp" was first used by the Marines back in World War II, the term boot being slang for "recruit." Those of us who showed up for Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape Training (SERE) that January may have already been through many months of training, but we were clearly still green, still boots—and survival school was boot camp on steroids. Based on the experiences of U.S. and allied soldiers as prisoners of war, the program's aim is to equip its trainees with both the skills and the grit to survive with dignity in the most hostile conditions of captivity. It was far and away the most intense training I'd encountered so far.
We mustered at the SERE school building at Naval Air Station North Island, on the northern end of the Coronado peninsula, where we were scheduled for a week of classroom training, followed by a week of field work. We spent that first week covering history and background, including lessons learned from World War II and Vietnam. We learned such things as how to tell a captor just enough to stay alive—but not enough to give away secrets. The week went by fast, which suited us fine: we were looking forward to getting into the field. That day came soon enough. We were all lined up and checked head to toe for smuggled food items before heading out. We had been warned not to try and sneak any food into our clothes or boots, but as I would learn again and again during my time in the Navy, there's always one in every bunch. Sure enough, a few guys got caught with a variety of ridiculous food items stashed on their person. I had to give it to them for trying.
After inspection, we drove about 90 minutes to the northeast, heading into the mountains of Warner Springs, California, where we were broken into groups of six and then into two-man evasion teams. I was paired up with a big Recon Marine. These are special ops guys, similar in many ways to SEALs, including some who specialize in deep reconnaissance and others, called black ops, who focus more on direct action missions. I didn't know if this guy was black ops or not, but regardless, as survival and evasion partners go I figured I could do a lot worse. Then we were set loose in the wild with nothing but the clothes on our backs, simulating the experience of being on the move behind enemy lines. We spent the next three days learning basic survival and evasion skills, including trapping, tracking, and land navigation. We ate everything we could get our hands on, which wasn't much. Survival school classes had been going out to this same spot for years, and practically everything that qualified as edible plant or animal had long ago been snatched up and eaten. Soon we were wolfing anything that wasn't tied down, including bugs, some scruffy plants, and one lucky rabbit. By day two, we were starving.
The nights were rough. Our first day out my partner and I built a shelter in preparation for the cold mountain night, but we way overbuilt. Being manly men, we wanted a nice roomy set-up so we would each have our space and wouldn't have to sleep so close that we would touch each other. Having since experienced that kind of cold a number of times, both in training in the States and thousands of feet above sea level in the wilds of northern Afghanistan, let me tell you: all that manly bullshit goes right out the window and you are more than happy to be nut to butt with anyone who has a pulse and warm blood coursing through his veins. After waking up the fourth time, chilled to the core and teeth chattering, my Marine buddy and I grunted a few words of manliness and then nestled up to each other like a scene right out of Brokeback Mountain.
After three days of this, we were ready to get on with the evasion-and-captivity portion of training, which included an evasion exercise lasting about twenty-four hours, leading directly into the simulated POW camp portion of the training, which would be three days long. During the evasion exercise, which simulated the circumstances of a downed aviator, we would be out in the woods attempting to evade capture by the enemy, who would actively hunt us down. The rules of this exercise were pretty simple: don't get caught. If we did, we would win a prize: extra POW time. When the time was up, they would sound a loud siren, at which point those of us who had made it to the time threshold without being caught would walk to the nearest road and turn ourselves in. The "turn yourself in" part sounded crazy to me, but what the hell. It was their rules. My Marine buddy and I did very well at the evasion exercise—so well, in fact, that by the time they sounded the siren the next afternoon, we had cleared way to the south and we were completely out of earshot. We eventually realized we had gone way out of bounds and the time limit must have expired by now, so we found a road and started walking north toward the exercise boundary. Soon we were picked up by a truck full of foreign-looking men who looked quite pissed off. Hoods were yanked on over our heads and we were smacked around for a while. Good times. Later we learned that these guys had been out looking for us for almost four hours and were none too happy about it.
Once we reached camp, our hoods were removed and we were marched into a processing area, where we were each given our own war criminal number. I remember my number to this day: I was no longer Brandon Webb, I was now War Criminal 53. There were two rules here and we learned them pretty fast. "Grab your rags!" was the first. The second was, "Eyes to ground, whore dog!" Grab your rags: that was intended to remind us to grab the sides of our pants (which did indeed resemble rags at this point) so the guards could see our hands at all times. Eyes to ground: that one was to ensure that none of us war criminals would look around and gain any increased awareness of our surroundings—awareness that we might be able to use later to our advantage. I decided to test out this second rule. Quietly, carefully, without moving my head or neck, I rolled my eyes just a few degrees to steal a glance around. Whack!—my head rocked back from a swift backhand to my face. I could feel my jaw crack. I was a fast learner, or at least not the slowest: I tried it once more, and after the second numbing smack across the face figured they were enforcing the rules pretty well. From that point on I grabbed my rags and kept my eyes to ground. I did not look around. (Okay, I did—but I was a lot more careful about not getting caught doing it.)
Once we were given our new rags and number, we were all asked very nicely what we preferred for dinner. "War Criminal 53! You want the chicken or the fish?" Both sounded damn good to me—but I suspected it was a trick question and that what they really wanted was our signatures. We had to sign for our choice of dinner in the ledger, and they had instructed us to use our real names. I'd heard enough stories to realize that they could use this against us in any sort of future propaganda campaign. I may have been a prisoner in their camp, but I wasn't about to roll over. I wrote my choice in the ledger (I chose fish) and signed it without using my name, writing simply, "Fuck you—sincerely."

"Countless ages ago, Warlord Zon'ozz and his soldiers waged endless war against the forces of C'Thun and Yogg-Saron. Millennia have passed, but the warlord still serves the chaotic might of the Old God N'Zoth."
So the old gods warred with each other? New to me.
Back when the elemental lords were working for the Old Gods, we knew they were warring with each other at the Old Gods' command.
Admittedly, I'd gotten the impression it was just general chaos for the Old Gods' amusement, rather than infighting. And, admittedly this implies that the Old Gods, despite being similar beings using similar methods have never worked together, which helps explain how the Titans defeated them.

text: Last May Microsoft bought aQuantive for $6 billion in cash. Now, they're kicking off 2008 with the purchase (the most ever offered for a Internet company) of Yahoo for $44.6 billion. That's $31 a share which is a 62% premium over Yahoo's closing shares Jan. 31. To Businessweek's point this would merge the World's largest software maker with the most used Internet portal. Shockingly – at least to me – Microsoft has been trying to court Yahoo for the past 18 months. Microsoft expects the merger to cut costs by $1 billion a year going forward. In the wake of the merger, if it goes through – Google and a few others might cry monopoly – Yahoo's workforce will be minimized. Yahoo currently has over 14,000 workers. Microsoft's bid is further motivated by the rise of web software competitors, such as Salesforce.com. Purchasing Yahoo would increase their reach and enable a massive distribution platform of web based software.

MILWAUKEE (WTAQ) - Foreign affairs' agencies in both the U.S. and Canada are still reviewing a 2007 request to slow down the water flow at the main entry to the Great Lakes.
Water levels on Lakes Michigan and Huron have dropped an estimated two feet since the last major dredging in the 1960's on the lakes' main entryway at the St. Clair River.
At a meeting in Milwaukee Monday, the International Joint Commission -- a U.S.-Canadian panel which oversees the Great Lakes -- said it's still waiting for answers.
The Great Lakes Commission asked the U.S. and Canadian governments six years ago to look for ways to undo the effects of the dredging, slow down the flows, and keep the levels of Michigan and Huron higher.
In January, the levels of the two lakes hit record lows -- raising new concerns about damage along shorelines, and commercial ships carrying lighter loads due to the low waters.
Deborah Lee of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers says her agency believes it has congressional authorization to build a structure to slow the water flow at the St. Clair. She said a study is needed, but Congress is not budgeting any money for it.

Garrett Haar: Haar Who?
Most players were anxiously awaiting their fate in this year's NHL Entry Draft, but Garrett Haar, a 17 year-old out of Huntington Beach, California, chose a different approach- not going at all.
After interviewing with the Washington Capitals for only five minutes and having very limited talks with a small number of other teams, Haar decided to sit the draft out at home, secretly.
"I told a bunch of people I was going to the beach, but I couldn't resist. I had to watch it," he said.
That was until the seventh round when he finally gave up on what could or could not be a turning point in his career. He turned to Call of Duty instead. Then while playing video games with his brother, Haar was pleasantly interrupted by his advisor with news that has since brought him to D.C. in the midst of a hot summer season to start what he hopes will be the beginning of his NHL career.
Haar, a 5-foot-11, 190-pound defenseman, was drafted in the seventh round (207th overall) by the Washington Capitals.
Since then, Haar has managed to catch the eye of the coaching staff with his good hockey sense and his ability to defend.
"I thought Haar was the biggest surprise of the camp," said general manager and vice president George McPhee. "For a young man who was four picks away from not being drafted he really played well here."
His road to the development camp isn't the only intriguing part of his story though, how he learned to play is also quite unique. Since California has just become a hotbed for hockey, at a young age Haar took it to the streets instead…literally.
"I did start with roller hockey until 11 years-old, " said Haar, who still plays to this day. "Then I told my mom I wanted to do this for my job," he said.
Her first instinct was to get him into some skates and on the ice immediately.
From there, Haar started his on-ice career with the California Wave (his squirt A team) and is now skating for Fargo out of the United States Hockey League. During his 2010-11 campaign, Haar recorded 23 points (7 goals, 16 assists) in 51 games and 38 penalty minutes. He credits his style of play by ironically emulating Mike Green of the Capitals and the well-known Nick Lindstrom.
Upon arriving at camp, Haar humbly noted he was "nervous," but did not have any expectations as one of the youngest players at the camp.
"I think that I'm surprising myself and I think that I'm surprising a lot of over people," he said.
Being only 17, Haar must think about the future. McPhee would much rather see the youngster head to the NCAA rather than head back to the USHL for another year.
Haar has "respectfully declined" college hockey offers from University of Massachusetts-Lowell and Western Michigan and has also de-committed from Northeastern after a few coaching changes that solidified his decision. Haar most recently said he wanted to pursue Denver, Boston University and Boston College.
Now that his options have opened up (with help from his performance at July's development camp) Haar will continue his NHL dreams down a inimitable path with his sites set on a big-league future.

A younger and dapper Derek Parfit, photographed by the late philosopher of mind Susan Hurley at Oxford in the 1980s.
Harris is nothing if not self-confident. There is a voluminous philosophical literature that stretches back almost to the origins of the discipline on the relationship between facts and values. Harris chooses to ignore most of it. He does not wish to engage "more directly with the academic literature on moral philosophy", he explains in a footnote, because he did not develop his arguments "by reading the work of moral philosophers" and because he is "convinced that every appearance of terms like 'metaethics', 'deontology', 'noncognitivism', 'antirealism', 'emotivism', etc directly increases the amount of boredom in the universe."
Imagine a sociologist who wrote about evolutionary theory without discussing the work of Darwin, Fisher, Mayr, Hamilton, Trivers or Dawkins on the grounds that he did not come to his conclusions by reading about biology and because discussing concepts such as "adaptation", "speciation", "homology", "phylogenetics" or "kin selection" would "increase the amount of boredom in the universe". How seriously would we, and should we, take his argument? It is one thing to want to "start a conversation that a wider audience can engage with and can find helpful", something that many of us, including many of those boring moral philosophers, seek to do. It is quite another to imagine that you can engage in any kind of conversation, with any kind of audience, by wilfully ignoring the relevant scholarship because it is "boring".
It's quite convenient for Harris that he has chosen to ignore the terms of moral philosophy, in particular because he explicitly endorses one of these obscure positions: analytical naturalism. Harris claims:
"Questions about values are really questions about the wellbeing of conscious creatures. Values, therefore, translate into facts that can be scientifically understood: regarding positive and negative social emotions, the effects of specific laws on human relationships, the neurophysiology of happiness and suffering, etc."
Here's a helpful chart:
(Derek Parfit, On What Matters, p. 263)
Harris is claiming that when we talk about morality, our claims can be restated in purely non-normative terms: when we talk about the good, we are actually talking about features about the brains of conscious creatures. This has the effect of making moral claims completely trivial. For example, we could claim that some act is good just because it brings about these desirable mental states. But if Harris' view is correct, then all we end up saying is: acts that bring about particular mental states bring about particular mental states. Moreover, who are we to identify which mental states are most desirable, or bring about the most benefit, short of doing moral philosophy? Had Harris consulted the literature at all, he would have uncovered these very straightforward, but very significant, difficulties. Harris did his undergraduate work in philosophy at Stanford, one of the top programs in the world; it just seems like a silly mistake to make. For someone ostensibly committed to careful thinking about important problems, Harris makes some incredibly massive oversights and jumps to dubious conclusions.
Ewwwwwwwww! The surprising moral force of disgustWhat if our moral judgments are driven instead by more visceral human considerations? And what if one of those is not divine commandment or inductive reasoning, but simply whether a situation, in some small way, makes us feel like throwing up?This is the argument that some behavioral scientists have begun to make: that a significant slice of morality can be explained by our innate feelings of disgust. A growing number of provocative and clever studies appear to show that disgust has the power to shape our moral judgments.
Research has shown that people who are more easily disgusted by bugs are more likely to see gay marriage and abortion as wrong. Putting people in a foul-smelling room makes them stricter judges of a controversial film or of a person who doesn't return a lost wallet. Washing their hands makes people feel less guilty about their own moral transgressions, and hypnotically priming them to feel disgust reliably induces them to see wrongdoing in utterly innocuous stories.
Today, psychologists and philosophers are piecing these findings together into a theory of disgust's moral role and the evolutionary forces that determined it: Just as our teeth and tongue first evolved to process food, then were enlisted for complex communication, disgust first arose as an emotional response to ensure that our ancestors steered clear of rancid meat and contagion. But over time, that response was co-opted by the social brain to help police the boundaries of acceptable behavior.
i love it when science proves my moral presuppositions.
The claims of moral psychologists, however, are undermined by an excellent paper by G.A. Cohen called "Facts and Principles." He quite convincingly argues in the paper that the only way the status of normative claims can be affected by empirical data is if there is another normative principle that holds they are relevant. This very much limits the scope of the meta-ethical conclusions we can draw about morality from these kinds of experiments.
There is obviously little doubt, of course, that the moral claims that people make can be and are causally affected by other non-relevant factors. However, that has no bearing on the truth of those claims. Morality consists in further facts about states of affairs that give us reasons to do or not to do certain things. Mere disgust is not the kind of decisive reason that can override the truth of moral claims. It seems clear from this article that disgust can quite often get in the way of effective moral evaluation, but that does not entail that morality is reducible to disgust or emotion. This is a problem for applied ethics, not normative ethics or meta-ethics.
What ought we to do?
To answer this question, we don't need to know either whether the past was worth it, or whether the whole of history will have been worth it. Suppose that the past was in itself so bad that, even if the future will be very good, human history will not have been worth it. If that were true, it would have been better if human beings had never existed. But that truth would have no practical implications. If the future would be worth it, we should not give up now.
Deconstructing libertarian philosophy, one piece at a time. (via azspot)
This 'deconstruction' of libertarian philosophy might come at too high a price. The author is clearly not nearly familiar enough with moral philosophy to be making claims about "all ethical systems." He mentions only two philosophers by name, and then his knowledge seems to end at the 19th century. Normative ethics has come a long way since then, and not many ethicists would agree that the distinction between deontology and consequentialism is "faulty as logic gets." Though Derek Parfit believes his ethical system to bring "Common-sense morality" (which he defines as largely deontological) and consequentialism closer together, the motivating principle for doing this remains a consequentialist one: he believes that Common-Sense Morality undermines the very aims it gives to people and must be revised with a view in mind that embraces consequentialism.
The motivating principle for consequentialism is not, as Noahpinion claims, "deontological." This is because consequentialism focuses on ends. Consequentialism may be motivated by a desire or principle to promote the good, but this principle or "rule" is not motivated by the same reasons as deontology, which claims that all the relevant moral facts about an act stem directly from the act itself. "The good" is not an act, so therefore the standards deontologists use to morally evaluate things do not apply to it. Noahpinion is making an easy political point at the cost of conceptual clarity- exactly what he claims to want to avoid.
As for his mention of the is-ought problem, that is an important issue, but it has received plenty of treatment in 20th-century meta-ethics. See here. Again, I fear that his treatment of it- that it automatically entails no intrinsic value for ethical theories (a form of skepticism) is far too simplistic and undermines the claims to morality he is trying to make.
Another problem with Noahpinion's view is that he doesn't understand one of the principal distinctions between the two ethical systems. It's not simply that one is about "rules" and the other about "outcomes," it's that deontology is agent-relative: it gives specific instructions to moral agents based on their identity and relation to others, and consequentialism is agent-neutral: it gives people reasons to act that hold independently of personal identity or relations. (see here for more) Thus, on the simplest form of the deontological view, you ought to save your own child rather than two others because of the special relation between you two, and on the simplest form of consequentialism you ought to save the two other children. As I mentioned, however, it becomes a little more complicated once we think about it more- it could be that the attitudes that promote the best consequences are deontological at first glance. "For most of us, the best dispositions would… roughly correspond to Common-Sense Morality" (Derek Parfit, Reasons and Persons, p. 112). This might at first glance seem to point in the same direction as Noahpinion's argument, but the justification for holding these dispositions is entirely consequentialist: if Common-Sense Morality did not promote the best ends in a consequentialist sense, it would not be advantageous to hold the dispositions it encourages you to hold. Parfit demonstrates that this is, in many instances, the case- and therefore we ought to be motivated by a moral theory that allows us to set aside Common-Sense Morality when it promotes bad outcomes.
Moral philosophy is a complicated business, and I think the ideas Noahpinion is presenting here do more harm than good in discussing the concepts involved, even if it does attempt to undermine a political philosophy with which I disagree.
As conditions change, we may need to make some changes in the way we think about morality. I have been arguing for one such change. Common-Sense Morality works best in small communities. When there are few of us, if we give to or impose on others great total benefits or harms, we must be affecting other people in significant ways, that would be grounds either for gratitude, or resentment. In small communities, it is a plausible claim that we cannot have harmed others if there is no one with an obvious complaint, or ground for resenting what we have done.
Until this century, most of mankind lived in small communities. What each did could affect only a few others. But conditions have now changed. Each of us can now, in countless ways, affect countless other people. We can have real effects on thousands or millions of people. When these effects are widely dispersed, they may either be trivial, or imperceptible. It now makes a great difference whether we continue to believe that we cannot have greatly harmed or benefited others unless there are people with obvious grounds for resentment or gratitude. …For the sake of small benefits to ourselves, or our families, each of us may deny others much greater total benefits, or impose on others much greater total harms. We may think this permissible because the effects on each of the others will be either trivial or imperceptible. If this is what we think, what we do will often be much worse for all of us.
If we cared sufficiently about effects on others, and changed our moral view, we would solve such problems. It is not enough to ask, 'Will my act harm other people?' Even if the answer is No, my act may still be wrong, because of its effects. The effects that it will have when it is considered on its own may not be the only relevant effects. I should ask, 'Will my act be one of a set of acts that will together harm other people?' The answer may be Yes. And the harm to others may be great.

Make getting your baby dressed in the morning easier by having fewer pieces of clothes to put on him. Bodysuits cover your baby's bottom and top with a single, easy-to-put-on suit. Whether you are a parent shopping for your own child or getting a gift for a friend of family member, you can find a bodysuit to fit any baby, and some even allow a baby to wear them longer because they have graduated closures to use as the baby gets taller. Some of the many baby bodysuits you can find include:
Carter's Bodysuit is a bodysuit with a saying that lets everyone know that the baby knows who is really the boss in the house. This suit sells for around $8 and has short sleeves and short legs to keep the baby from overheating.
OshKosh B'Gosh Polo Bodysuit includes a polo collar for babies who have style. This short bodysuit is perfect for warm weather wear. You can usually find this baby bodysuit for around $10.
Petit Bateau Short Sleeve Bodysuit sells for up to $17. This bodysuit is a basic suit that has a simple, unadorned collar. The design of this one-piece suit makes the process of getting the baby dressed and undressed easier.
Organic Basic Footie is from the Egg by Susan Lazer collection. This long-sleeved and footed onsie includes a zipper that is hidden away to unzip the bodysuit all the way to the toes. Selling for an average of $25, this is a good cold-weather bodysuit for a baby.
Disney Cuddly Lion King Camp Solids 4 Pack Bodysuits are made by Remington and come in colors inspired by Disney's The Lion King. For around $12, you can get a set of four of these, which have a series of button snaps on the bottom that allow the baby to continue to wear the bodysuits as he grows.

Moab Townhome Rentals with Outdoor Grill(44)

Recent Moab Reviews
Clean, comfortable and relaxing.
The two of us had a very enjoyable stay at this townhouse. The townhouse is conveniently located just a few miles south of Moab. It was spotlessly clean, and all of the furnishings were tasteful and modern. Everything worked. The pool is just a short walk across the street. We used the townhouse as a base to explore Arches and Canyonlands National Parks, to mountain bike at Klondike Bluffs and Bartlett Wash, to take a drive around the La Sal Mountain Loop, and to get into town to shop and eat at the many great restaurants Moab offers. Becky was responsive to our questions and provided good customer service. I would stay here again if we return to Moab.
Top marks!
We do a lot of self-catering holidays but Paula's house in Moab gets top marks. The house is spacious, tip-top clean with a kitchen that was so well equipped it was a joy to use. The mains gas bar-b-que outside is huge and we cooked for 6 on it every day. After living out of a suitcase for the past days it was great to come down to earth in Moab and our stay, including using the pool, was very relaxing. There are plenty of big fluffy towels including extra ones for use at the pool.

CHATTAROY, Wash.--One barn was destroyed and another damaged during a brush fire on Monday near E. Tallman Road.
About 2.5 acres were burned. The fire also came right next to a house but fire crews were able to stop the flames in time.
Fire crews on scene said they see brush fires a lot around April but were surprised at how large this one was.

It appears as though each vid comes with a set of pics, so there are 852 photo galleries to dig through. The pictures look really good and feature sexual situations that are sure to thrill you.

I joined this site because I found a clip somewhere where this chick was bent over the armrest on the couch and he was deepthroating her so hard her throat was bulging. There are dozens others like that! The site focuses on deepthroat and anal but also ass to mouth and ass to pussy but even dirty ass to mouth! I did not have a problem with any kind of download limit or quota. There are two or three updates per week. My interest in the site was the deep throating and this is the best because the models did not Deep Throat because they knew how, but because it was forced. Lots of spitting lots of gagging lots of barfing. For me those scenes alone were worth joining the site. However I'm not sure about all the painful anal. I do enjoy that but I feel guilty! And the dirty ass to mouth is disgusting but even my wife seems to get turned on by that! A very guilty pleasure indeed! We can't stop watching!!

A cartoonish look at life...
So there I was, busily texting away, not particularly paying attention to my surroundings walking my dog. It takes some skill to hold the leash and text especially while my seventy-five pound Akita my is dragging me in tow. I have to make multiple pit stops (both for the dog and so that I can hit all the correct keys on my Blackberry). Just as I'm rounding the corner on the last leg of the walk I paused to reread my final text and hit the send button. At that very moment not ten inches in front of me lands a perfect little white "splat!" I look up just in time to see a pigeon take flight. Had I not paused I would have been wearing that little splat hat. Now some people say that that we've become too dependent on technology but I say in this case technology saved the day, well, at least the morning anyway.

Everton Under-18s extended their unbeaten league run to 10 games with a commanding 2-0 win at Sunderland on Saturday afternoon.
The young Blues are vying with Manchester City for top spot of Group One, with a place in the end of season play-offs already sealed.
And there was no let-up from Kevin Sheedy's side as goals from Calum Dyson and Michael Donohue earned victory at the Academy of Light.
The Toffees were in control of the contest from the off, creating numerous opportunities in the first half while nullifying the Black Cats.
And soon after the interval, the breakthrough would arrive.
Courtney Duffus crossed from the right and Dyson was on hand to head home at the far post.
Duffus then saw three efforts saved by the Sunderland goalkeeper and Harry Charsley fired inches wide of the post.
Three points were in the bag on 65 minutes when substitute winger Donohue eased past his marker and ran through on goal to finish in fine fashion.
After the game, Sheedy told evertonfc.com: "It was one of our best performances of the season.
"We totally dominated from start to finish. We kept the ball well and created chances, limited them to none in the first half. We were fully in command and in the second, we really played well.
"We still want to finish top of the league. We can't take our foot off the pedal as we've got two big games left against Tottenham and Manchester United."

Democratic governors: Cuts to hurt state economies
Friday - 2/22/2013, 6:36pm EST
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Democratic governors meeting with President Barack Obama say their state economies will be hurt by automatic, across-the-board federal government spending cuts scheduled to begin on March 1.
Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin, chairman of the Democratic Governors Association, says states have seen increased employment, but that their prosperity is being hindered by "the games being played by the Republicans in Congress."
Obama met with the Democratic governors Friday. The governors are in Washington for a National Governors Association meeting this weekend. Governors from both parties will attend the White House Sunday for dinner and Monday for meetings.
Obama has proposed averting $85 billion in cuts this year with more targeted reductions and with tax increases. Republicans oppose further increases in tax revenue unless it is used to lower tax rates.

Ice Hockey
Feb. 2, 1998
Spartan Hockey Takes Three points vs. No. 5 Miami
Prepares to visit Ohio State, Miami
Dates Feb. 6-7 Sites OSU Ice Rink, Columbus, Ohio/Goggin Ice Arena, Oxford, Ohio Times 7 p.m.
The Week � Michigan State skates into February with an eight-game unbeaten streak following a tie and a decisive victory over No. 5 Miami last weekend. The Spartans (22-3-4 overall, 14-3-3 CCHA) were ranked No. 1 in the nation last week and stand second in the CCHA, two points behind Michigan with one less game played. Friday Michigan State travels to the OSU Ice Rink (1,400) to meet the streaking Buckeyes (16-10-1, 13-9-0), who have won seven straight. Saturday the Spartans face Miami (17-6-3, 12-6-3) for the third time in four games at Goggin Ice Arena (2,200).
The Coaches � Head coach Ron Mason (St. Lawrence �64) is in his 19th year at Michigan State and his 32nd as a head coach in college hockey. He is the all-time winningest college hockey coach with 797 career victories as he comes ever closer to becoming ther first coach to reach the 800-victory plateau. His records stand at 797-346-62 overall and 508-236-48 at Michigan State. Mason made his record 17th NCAA tournament appearance last year.
Miami head coach Mark Mazzoleni (Michigan State �80) played for Mason for one year at MSU. He holds a school record of 72-55-14 (four years) and a career mark of 210-107-24 (10 years).
Ohio State�s John Markell (Bowling Green �79) also played college hockey for Mason and with MSU assistant coach Tom Newton. Markell�s four-year school and career records stand at 40-61-4.
The Buckeyes � Ohio State has won seven games in a row, including a sweep at Western Michigan last weekend. Hugo Boisvert is the offensive star, leading the CCHA in league scoring and standing second overall with 15-23-38. In goal, freshman Jeff Maund (12-5-0, 2.64, .911) has been impressive.
The RedHawks � Miami brings what is now a group of familiar faces after last weekend�s series to Saturday�s meeting. Dan Boyle (12-23-35) and Tim Leahy (9-22-31) lead the offense which still leads the CCHA in scoring. Leading goal scorer Alex Kim (14-7-21) may return this weekend for the RedHawks. Senior Trevor Prior (14-3-1, 2.64, .907) has been the No. 1 goaltender.
The Series:
vs. the Buckeyes � MSU leads, 61-9-4, and 25-7-3 in Columbus. This marks MSU�s final trip to the OSU Ice Rink, where the Spartans have won their last eight games (the Spartans lost at the Columbus Fairgrounds last year). MSU won, 2-1, at OSU Nov. 21.
vs. the RedHawks � MSU leads, 45-12-4, and 20-4-1 in Oxford. Michigan State is 8-1-1 in the last 10 meetings. MSU won in its last trip to Goggin Ice Arena, 7-3, and has won the last five meetings in Oxford.
Miami Recap � Michigan State took away three of a possible four points in a heavily anticipated weekend series against the No. 5 Miami RedHawks. Friday the Spartans had to come from behind to overcome a first-period Miami goal and 40 saves from Trevor Prior. Sean Berens converted in the third period to give MSU a 1-1 tie. Offense came much more easily Saturday for MSU, as the first of seven goals was scored at 0:25 of the first. Six different Spartans scored goals and 10 had at least a point as Chad Alban earned his 11th career shutout, 7-0.
If you use just one MSU note this week, perhaps this should be it
Comparing Chad � Senior goaltender Chad Alban, who allowed just one goal in two games to the CCHA�s highest scoring team last weekend, is having one of the best seasons ever by a college goaltender. How Alban�s 1997-98 numbers stack up against the only goaltender ever to win the Hobey Baker Award, Minnesota�s Robb Stauber (1987-88):
Did You Know?
Sir Shutout � Alban posted his fifth shutout of the season Saturday night, setting a Michigan State single-season record he previously shared with Joe Selinger (1958-59). It also gave him 11 career shutouts (an MSU record he already owned) and nine career CCHA shutouts, setting a league record he previously shared with Michigan�s Marty Turco.
One-game winless streak � Friday night�s tie marked the seventh game Michigan State has not won this year. In every case, the Spartans responded with a win the next time out, meaning that they have not had a winless streak longer than one game.
Road warriors � Michigan State boasts a 12-1-0 record away from Munn Ice Arena this year (11-0-0 in the continental United States).
Summit meetings � Michigan State is in the midst of a stretch of very important CCHA games. Five of MSU�s next six opponents are in the top five in the league. A �home-and-Joe� series with first-place Michigan � featuring one game at Munn and the next at Joe Louis Arena � looms Feb. 20-21.
Powerless � Michigan State has not allowed a power-play goal in its last six games (an 0-for-23 stretch). Opponents are 1-for-31 (3.2%) in the last eight games.
Students turned teachers � Head coach Ron Mason matches strategy with a pair of his former players this weekend. Ohio State�s John Markell played for Mason and with current MSU assistant coach Tom Newton at Bowling Green. Miami�s Mark Mazzoleni played for Mason at Michigan State.
Six pack � The Spartans have scored six or more goals in five of their last eight games after reaching six goals just once in the first 21 games.
Two few � Just five times through 29 games has Michigan State allowed more than two goals in a game. The Spartans are giving up just 1.62 goals per game, which is 0.65 better than the school record, set in 1984-85.
Crazy Eights � The Spartans carry an eight-game unbeaten streak into Friday night�s game. Michigan State has had two other eight-game unbeaten streaks already this season and lost in the ninth game both times.
Against the best � Michigan State is 5-0-1 against ranked opponents this season.
Top five � Each of Michigan State�s top five goal scorers had a goal Saturday night.
Did You Know?
Amazing Alban � Senior goaltender Chad Alban won his 54th career CCHA game Saturday, tying him with Jason Muzzatti for the most CCHA wins by an MSU goaltender. Some other Alban tidbits:
� ranks among NCAA leaders in goals-against average (1.57), save percentage (.921) and winning percentage (.846) (new rankings to be released Tuesday)
� called by Ron Mason the greatest puck-handling and decision-making goaltender he has ever coached or ever will coach, he touches the puck over 30 times per game (not counting saves)
� leads the CCHA in GAA and save percentage in both league and overall games
� just six wins shy of Jason Muzzatti�s MSU career record (83)
� ranks among MSU career leaders in GAA (1st, 2.57), shutouts (1st, 11), save percentage (5th, .893), games played (2nd, 118) and saves (6th, 2,416)
Follow the leader � Senior defenseman and three-year team captain Tyler Harlton leads the CCHA with a +27 plus/minus rating. Saturday night, Michigan State improved to 25-2 all-time when Harlton has a point (7-0 this year).
Approaching 800 �Head coach Ron Mason is just three victories shy of becoming the first college coach to record 800 in his career.
Super Sean � Senior center Sean Berens has a nine-game point-scoring streak, equalling his career high. He has 14-4-18 totals in that time. Berens stands tied for second nationally with nine power-play goals.
In the clutch, get the sensation � Sixteen of junior center Mike York�s 20 goals have come when Michigan State is trailing, the game is tied, or MSU has a one-goal lead.
Shooting stars � Michigan State outshoots its opponents by an average of 11.4 shots per game (31.6-20.2).
Comebackers � Michigan State salvaged a tie Friday night after trailing 1-0 after two periods. MSU is 1-1-2 when trailing after two this year, meaning that three out of the four time they have been behind in the second intermission, the Spartans have come back to at least tie the game.
100 Grand � Munn Ice Arena has welcomed over 100,000 fans in 1997-98, the 17th consecutive season MSU has that attendance mark.
NEW: AUDIO UPDATES � A new way for media and fans to hear from MSU hockey players and coaches is available at www.msuspartans.com. A several-minute sound clip will be updated four times a week, featuring a player of the game within an hour of each game, a player or coach by 2:30 p.m. Monday and Hobey Baker candidate Chad Alban by 2:30 p.m. Wednesday.
Television Michigan State games will appear at least 23 times on television this season, often coast-to-coast. Five Spartan regular-season games are featured as the CCHA Game of the Week on FOX Sports Net. MSU also will be televised locally for the 21st consecutive season, as Media One broadcasts 12 home games.

The show runs from 6 to 7 p.m. Wednesdays and is on WILS-AM 1320. Coach Mason�s TV show is on the air Sundays at noon on Ch. 53. It is hosted by Tim Staudt.
WWW The team home page is: http://www.msuspartans. com. This release, other MSU information and features are updated daily. The 1997-98 media guide is currently available on the site.
On the Miami series: �As good as Saturday night was, for three periods Friday night we were as good as it gets, we just couldn�t get the puck past Trevor Prior. But after looking at the way Friday night�s game went, I�ll take the three points. We are still in position to finish first, and that�s all you can ask.�
On the upcoming weekend: �Friday night we will be going to that small rink at Ohio State, where it�s what I call ping-pong hockey. The puck is bouncing all over the place and it will be physical.
�Then we have to go to Miami the next night. They will be ready for us, especially after Saturday night�s game.�

US universities in Africa 'land grab'
Intimately related to our last post from yesterday on politicians & bankers turning foodstuffs into a betting game, as well as an earlier entry on Egypt's food & water supply issues.
Institutions including Harvard and Vanderbilt reportedly use hedge funds to buy land in deals that may force farmers out
Harvard and other major American universities are working through British hedge funds and European financial speculators to buy or lease vast areas of African farmland in deals, some of which may force many thousands of people off their land, according to a new study.
Much of the money is said to be channelled through London-based Emergent asset management, which runs one of Africa's largest land acquisition funds, run by former JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs currency dealers.
"The scale of the land deals being struck is shocking", said Mittal. "The conversion of African small farms and forests into a natural-asset-based, high-return investment strategy can drive up food prices and increase the risks of climate change.
…"This is creating insecurity in the global food system that could be a much bigger threat to global security than terrorism. More than one billion people around the world are living with hunger. The majority of the world's poor still depend on small farms for their livelihoods, and speculators are taking these away while promising progress that never happens." >continue<

Relationships are harder now because conversations became texting, arguments became phone calls, feelings became subliminal messages online. Sex became easy, the word "love" gets used out of context, insecurities have become your way of thinking. Getting jealous became a habit, trust has been lost, cheating became an accident, leaving became the only option & being hurt became natural.

U.S. stocks generated solid second-quarter returns, with large- and mid-cap equities outperforming small-caps and little difference in the performance of growth and value companies. Non-U.S developed market stocks also posted gains, with Asia-Pacific markets generally outperforming European markets. Within the broad MSCI Europe, Australasia, and Far East Index, small-cap stocks lagged large-cap shares by a significant margin and growth stocks underperformed value companies. Emerging markets stocks outperformed developed markets as investor sentiment toward developing countries continued to rebound from a rocky 2013 and beginning to 2014.
The Global Growth Stock Fund returned 5.85% in the quarter compared with 5.23% for the MSCI All Country World Index and 3.63% for the Lipper Global Multi-Cap Growth Funds Average. For the 12 months ended June 30, 2014, the fund returned 24.68% versus 23.58% for the MSCI All Country World Index and 22.54% for the Lipper Global Multi-Cap Growth Funds Average. The fund's average annual total returns were 24.68%, 14.84%, and 20.91% for the 1-, 5-, and Since Inception (10/27/2008) periods, respectively, as of June 30, 2014. The fund's expense ratio was 1.18% as of its fiscal year ended October 31, 2013.
Benchmark Definitions
At the end of the quarter, approximately 15% of the fund's assets were invested in developed European countries, which is an underweight allocation. We believe that credit growth in the eurozone won't accelerate significantly, and many of the European companies that we like are fully valued. We continue to overweight emerging markets (about 25% of assets), where we focus on owning well-run companies in nations whose governments are making structural improvements. Although our overarching philosophy is to be sector neutral versus the benchmark, our bottom-up fundamental analysis of stocks can result in some overweights or underweights. Over the course of the quarter, we added to our consumer discretionary holdings and are now overweight. We reduced our allocation to consumer staples and are now underweight.
The U.S. economy is expanding, but we don't think that growth will accelerate as quickly as the market consensus expects. The eurozone economy still isn't meaningfully growing, as evidenced by the European Central Bank's recent decision to implement new accommodative measures. Japan's economic improvement has been better than we expected but much still depends on the government's ability to make further reforms. We believe that emerging markets continue to offer compelling valuations. Returns among the various global regions and sectors have been largely uncorrelated, which is encouraging for active fund managers. We're confident that markets are returning to their normal focus on fundamentals, and we will continue to concentrate on buying high-quality companies selling at reasonable valuations.

WASHINGTON — BuildingGreen LLC, a Brattleboro, VT-based green building publisher and products cataloger, recently launched an online software package meant to help designers certify green structures more quickly and efficiently, according to Earth2Tech.
The program, LEEDuser, was designed to guide designers through the notoriously tricky parts of the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) process and help them achieve certification with less work and greater confidence of success, the story stated.
According to the release, LEED, widely considered the most prominent green building rating system in the country, is made up of a series of credits for things like the use of daylight, on-site renewable energy generation and construction waste management.
The program, launched as a free beta version until it will have a subscription charge in October, has guidance for the five recently launched LEED 2009 rating divisions: New Construction; Core & Shell; Schools; Commercial Interiors; and Existing Buildings, the story noted.
The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) plans to provide links to LEEDuser on its website as a support tool for designers, the story added.

For all of the things I've done so wrong
The law says that this is where that I belong
Society says that justice is due
For a life of crime and mischief too
If only I knew then what I know now
I'd have lived my life different somehow
So here I sit feeling so sad
Because of the things I did that were bad
I know I have no right to complain

21 days to a new you: Sleep more and better
Sleep helps the body restore and repair itself, and it also benefits the mind. Deep REM sleep, during which dreams occur, helps the brain recalibrate itself and lets you face the next day feeling refreshed. But if you struggle to fall asleep or stay asleep and wake up more tired than when you went to bed, you know all too well that great sleep can be elusive. Studies show that those who are sleep-deprived battle big carb cravings and do more binge-eating than those who get a solid eight or nine hours of rest each day. The good news: There are a lot of ways you can turn your bedroom and bed into a haven of deep restfulness.
By Anne Hurley for MSN Healthy Living
Day 1: Set a firm bedtime and wakeup time
Let's start with a hard one. The best way to reset your body's confused sleep cycle is to define it. Start by setting a firm wakeup time, perhaps earlier than you are used to. If you usually wake up at 7 a.m., set your alarm for 6. Resist the temptation to go back to bed. If you're a little sleepy for a few days, it will be worth it once your body's used to it. Do the same with bedtime. If you feel exhausted, don't go to bed at, say, 8 p.m. You'll wake up in the middle of the night, and the cycle will start again. Make yourself stay up until 11 p.m. or even midnight for a few days, maintaining your early wakeup time. As you get more used to the wakeup time, gradually move your bedtime up until you are getting the eight or nine hours you need. Says Keri Glassman MS, RD, CDN, "As nice as it feels to sleep sometimes, it only makes it more difficult to maintain your bedtime discipline.
Day 2: Move your TV out of your bedroom
That's right, no more watching "Saturday Night Live" in bed. Sleep experts say the bedroom should be used for only two things: sleep and sex. The worst thing you can do for your sleep cycle in your bedroom and bed is watch TV or be on the computer, artificially stimulating yourself in the place that's supposed to be your sleepy haven. It's fine to stay up to watch late-night TV, just do it in another room. You'll start to realize as you head toward your quiet bedroom that the tranquility there helps your brain turn off, and invites healthy sleep patterns.
Day 3: Put up darker curtains or shades
Some people are more susceptible to light than others, but most people need a fairly dark space in which to get quality sleep. This is important especially if your street has bright streetlamps or a lot of car headlights going by, or if any of the windows in your bedroom face east -- meaning the first rays of dawn come in and invade your rest. Putting up full light-blocking curtains or window shades -- or both -- can really help create the restful dark space you really need.
Day 4: Exercise daily, but not in the evening
Get in at least 20 minutes of exercise every day, preferably in the morning or over your lunch hour. Sleep doctors say it's ideal to alternate cardio with weight and muscle training because the body uses different mechanisms at night to recover from each, which can help with sleep. You don't need to do anything elaborate or super-challenging (unless you want to), just enough to keep your heart rate raised and boost your metabolism during the day. That will help you feel more tired at night and sleep more soundly. But avoid doing your big workout in the evening if you have sleep issues; studies show that it takes your body hours to "come down" from the high of strenuous exercise, so a late-day workout could backfire and keep you up.
Day 5: Turn down your bedroom thermostat
Study after study shows that most people rest more deeply and comfortably if their bedroom temperatures are lower than in their regular living space. If the air is too warm in your bedroom, you're more likely to toss and turn, stick a foot out of your covers to cool off and wake up several times a night. Experiment with turning the heat nearly all the way down, or off, and then putting on more covers if you need them. Something about the cool air around your face and head combined with the cozy warmth of your bed and covers makes for a long-lasting sleep formula.
Day 6: Switch to decaf at noon sharp
Yes, this is another tough one, especially if you love your afternoon lattes or diet colas. But it's important to confine your intake of caffeine to the morning hours so that your system has a chance to metabolize it and get it out of your system long before you need a quiet body and mind to fall asleep. Switch to decaf, herbal tea or sparkling water. (And this goes double for those five-hour energy shots -- eliminate those completely if you're having sleep issues.)
Day 7: 'Unplug' at least an hour before bed
Once you've moved your TV out of the bedroom and gotten used to that, now is the time to create a bit of "down time" between TV watching and Internet surfing and bedtime. Most experts suggest about an hour of transition time can really help your brain switch off and get prepared for real rest. I like to think of this almost as a physical state -- a "moat" around the quiet, welcoming world of sleep, separating it from the busy-ness of the plugged-in world.
Glassman recommends banishing all electronics from the bedroom. "Finding it a struggle to give up that phone? Allow yourself to check it before bedtime, then carefully put it to bed too-away from your bedroom. I know it sounds silly, but some people think it actually helps to say "Goodnight, phone! See you in the morning!"
Day 8: Read in bed, but only if it relaxes you
Some sleep experts say you shouldn't read in bed at all (see earlier tip about no TV or Internet in bed). So if you find reading in bed disrupts your sleep, get up and go snuggle in a comfy couch or chair to read till you're sleepy. But many of us find that reading in bed helps trigger relaxation. Make sure you're not reading something intense or stressful -- find a good book by a favorite author and treat yourself to a few pages as you drift off.
Day 9: Do easy body relaxation and stretching in bed
Lots of people find that this helps ease their body and mind into a sleepy state. Try doing a full-body relaxation, starting with the top of your head, ears, forehead, face, jaw, and work your way slowly down your body to your ankles, soles, and tips of your toes. Consciously relax each small group of muscles and let them sink further into your pillow or mattress. Or try some easy stretching when you first get in bed -- point your toes and stretch your legs down toward your footboard, and reach your arms straight back over your head if you can, or at a 90-degree angle toward the ceiling. Hold each stretch for five slow breaths, and then relax. Ahh!

So often, people limit themselves in their thinking. They don't think they'll ever accomplish their dreams. They start thinking they don't have the talent, the connections or the funds. They don't think a marriage could ever be restored or they'll ever get out of debt. But that kind of thinking comes from looking at things in the natural. That's a limited perspective. We have to realize that God is a supernatural God. And just because we don't see a way doesn't mean that God doesn't have a way. God can bring one opportunity across your path that will thrust you to a new level. He has explosive blessings that can blast you out of debt and into abundance! He can do what medical science can't do!
Today, I encourage you to take the limits off your thinking. Lift up your eyes to Jesus, the Author and Finisher of your faith. Trust that He is working behind the scenes on your behalf, and He will make a way out of no way. Remember, what you are facing may seem impossible with man, but when God puts His "super" on your "natural," anything is possible!
