Wage growth: Still stagnant
Reuters has a story out this week delving into Fed chair Janet Yellen's views about employment. Yellen wants to see more wage growth before she really believes the employment situation is improving, as "research from the Fed's staff and her own past academic work both suggest there may be more slack in the economy than inflation hawks believe," according to the Reuters piece.
But wage growth continues to be stagnant:
Here are more details about her research:
Her research outlined a number of possibilities, including that companies realize upsetting workers may only cost companies more in the long run as some will quit or become less productive, while rehiring in a recovery will prove more costly.
But a flip side is that, as economies recover, firms make up for the lack of wage cuts by keeping worker pay constant for as long as possible.
The San Francisco Fed, where Yellen served as president until 2010, tracks the percentage of workers whose wages did not rise in the prior year. The bank's "Wage Rigidity Meter" remains near an all-time high – evidence it will take more time before the type of wage-growth Yellen hopes to see.

As Possum says, Thrall has a major blind spot where Garrosh is concerned; it's my belief that this is due to survivor guilt because of Grom's death in front of him. Thrall also had a major blind spot where Grom was concerned; it's my belief that *that* was because Grom was his blood-brother, and Thrall had (at that point, and still has) very little in the way of family figures, since Taretha got killed in front of him. Thrall is unable to function rationally where the Hellscreams are concerned - he acts as if his adopted family is beyond censure, when the rest of us are all waiting for Saurfang to beat some sense into Garrosh with his axe.

Faciliator Information
Facilitator Information
Team Meeting Schedule: TBD
Schedule of Upcoming Facilitations: TBD
Email us to sign up!
Get Academic Credit! Internship Course Information
Credits: Variable 2-3 credits (includes 1 credit for participating and completing Human Relations Facilitator training)
Course Description:
This course is meant to guide and provide a framework for an in-depth internship with Team Liberation. This internship will afford students opportunities to develop and practice a comprehensive understanding of human relations facilitation skills, and critical consciousness about theoretical and practical approaches to large and small group communication. We engage this subject matter through exploration of societal issues related to race/ethnicity, class, sex/gender, sexuality/affectionality, gender identity, disabilities, socioeconomic status, spirituality/religion, and other aspects of group, individual and cultural diversity.
Students will participate in Team Liberation's Human Relations Facilitation training, which employs instruction, readings, discussions, interactive exercises, participation, self-reflection and guided teaching experiences. Students will then complete internship hours around the subject areas/topics in which they would like to develop (e.g., curriculum development, facilitation of experiential sessions; outreach).
- Offered every term.
- To register, or for more information, please contact: Melissa Yamamoto
- Email: email@example.com
- Phone: (541) 737-6385
Advanced Training Fund
The Advanced Training Fund provides awards to active Team Liberation student facilitators to aid in participating in social justice trainings and retreats outside of what Team Liberation offers.
This need-based scholarship is available to cover full or partial registration, travel, lodging and expenses. It is most receptive to proposals for partial funding (up to 65%) of an entire trip, or full funding of particular need of a particular trip (i.e. registration, lodging, travel, food, etc.). In special circumstances, where it would be beneficial to provide full funding, this option will be considered. Funding will be available until it is completely distributed (i.e., first come basis). We cannot provide retroactive appropriation or awards (i.e., you cannot apply for this scholarship to cover costs for a training/retreat you have already attended).
Applicants must have an interest in social justice issues, have completed Team Liberation Facilitator training (offered biannually), be an active member, and be able to complete the Expected Outcomes. It is anticipated that attending this training will benefit both the applicant and Team Liberation: 1) applicants will further their self-development on topics such as, leadership development, awareness of social justice issues, and improved intercultural communication, and 2) Team Liberation will receive new information, including ideas for new Team Liberation exercises, awareness of how issues related to diversity and human relations are handled at other campuses and organizations, new/different perspectives on diversity and human relations, and other information not currently found at OSU or in the local community
Expected Outcomes from Awardees (to be completed within 1 term following the training/retreat):
- Complete self-assessment of how attendance at the training or retreat improved the following skill areas: leadership ability, diversity awareness/training, and intercultural communication (an assessment sheet will be provided).
- Create a presentation for members of Team Liberation and the campus community that includes what you learned at the training/retreat and how it applies to Team Liberation and the campus community.
- Facilitate at least 2 Team Liberation workshops after training/retreat attendance.
- Create and implement 1 new exercise for Team Liberation that meets Team Liberation's mission and is appropriate in length and content to be used in a workshop.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
From our experience, this seems to be the weak link in the Mulvane school system. For example, we had 2 children enter this school that loved to read, and the teaching methods left them indifferent at best. They became avid readers again once they graduated to the next level. The problems we experienced here appear to be systemic, and start from the top down to the bottom. Communication is poor, and my kids learned to dislike school here. Fortunately, that has passed as they left this school. There are some good teachers here and those are the reason this school didn't get a lower rating but unfortunately there are many bad ones that offset them.
So far I am not assured that the education received here will be as it should be. It seems that some communications are lost here.
This school has always been very professional and supportive to both of my children.
This review concerns the Intermediate school. I found the performance of the teachers and the principal severly lacking. The 5th grade program began to place more responsibility on the students to complete tasks and assignments with less supervision then in 4th grade. In principle, that is a good idea, however, allowing a student to reach over 50 missed assignments without contacting the parent is not the way to do it. I was told in a conference reguarding a F that my son had that the by the teacher that she was not concerned, she knew he could do the work. This is not acceptable to me. After seeing grades slip and my son relize that there were no consequeces for not doing homework, I moved him to another district.
For the most part I am finding that Mulvane schools cater to the middle range child. If a child needs differentiated instruction the schools are not open to meeting the needs. These schools are very teacher centered as opposed to child centered. One would find a few really dedicated teachers who will work hard to educate every child, but for the most part the teachers are mediocre at best and the schools are ran to meet the needs of teachers rather than students. The grade school has been a real disappoint to us as our child hates school. This child is a very intelligent child who sits and does worksheets and colors all day. Real thinking is not part of the curriculum. This, of course, is my opinion and experience as a parent with this school system. Other people have been very satisfied with the schools here.

A man involved in a high noon shoot-out today at Speed Z gas station on West Moulton Street returned after police arrived on scene and tried to pass himself off as a bystander, Decatur police said.
Demetrius Jaques Smith, 24, of 219 Sixth Ave. N.W., faces charges of discharging a firearm in the city limits and reckless endangerment, both misdemeanors. He was being held in Decatur City Jail in lieu of $1,000 bail.
Detective Mike Burleson said Smith and another man exchanged several shots in the gas station parking lot.
No one was injured, but several other people, including two juveniles, were in the area at the time, Burleson said.
One of the bullets struck a storage building at Speed Z, police said.
A bullet hole found in the door of the nearby Church's Chicken restaurant may have been from an earlier incident.
"That had been there for several months," Church's owner Murphy Brown said. "If somebody shot a bullet over there it would be very impressive if it went through the exact same spot."
Police are looking for the other man believed to have been involved, Burleson said.

Do girls like boners?
Question is for girls only, no guy answers. But would girls get turned on if they saw one of their guy friends with a boner or would you just get creeped out? Like if it was a guy that you've had no previous sexual history with but thought he was attractive and impressed by the size of his cock. No smart-ass responses please, I'm just curious. Nothing would be sexier than a girl getting turned on looking at my boner.
What's Your Opinion?
Most Helpful Opinion
It depends on the girl in question. Honestly I'd get an ego boost if a friend got turned on around me. Now turned on is a entirely different thing because I'm a very loyal person. If I didn't have a man I would get turned on, but if I did have one, I would be very uncomfortable.
What Girls Said 10
I can only speak or myself when I say, "HELL YEAH!" :) LOL
Yes, I would feel flattered. I like knowing that I can do that to guys, and yes it has happened. A guy friend of mine was over watching a movie and he was wearing gym shorts and boxers so nothing to hold it down and it was obvious. No it didn't creep me out. He was embarrassed/told me he couldn't help it. I just told him it was normal and not to worry about it. After while it went down, no big deal.I don't care about the size of your boner though, so no it would not impress me. I have never had one that didn't stimulate me or get me off so I think its a guy thing about size making a difference.
It depends. Some girls will be flattered, some will be embarrassed, and some will be creeped out about it. I personally find it cute though, it makes me feel flattered.
i love it when guys get boners , I find it really sexy x
My personal opinion:Boyfriend boners = hotGuy friend boners = amusing/flattering, cute if I like himStranger boners = a tiiiny bit creepy, but still also amusing
Me I would find it cute but same times weird but hey you got to admit it's hot.
Only if the guy ilove gets it when I'm around him it makes me feel very attractive
yea I do, I think its cute and kinda funny cause usually its just us watching TV or movies and I just happen to notice it
only if its big
What Guys Said 4
It's natural, of course they must like it. If they don't, they do not contribute to population reproduction.
If there was no boners there would be no sex.
Girls dig the long bone.
I am actually a girl, I messed up my profile gender is all. And no, we hate them, we like em all loose and flappin around.

The Text Says:
Today's scripture passage is the opening of Paul's second epistle to Timothy, which characteristically involves a greeting, thanksgiving, and an appeal. He points out how faith is passed down from one generation to another. Timothy was taught Christianity by his mother Eunice and his grandmother Lois. In his appeal for courage and endurance, his concern is that Timothy would overcome his fear, with "the spirit of love and power and a sound mind." It might seem odd to some to juxtapose love with power and clear thinking. But it serves as a useful reminder that love need not be spineless or undisciplined. It is clear that Paul believed faith in God is the antidote to fear. And that the gift of God's spirit is not ecstatic emotion, but makes available to us the resources to meet life effectively, with practical helpfulness and healthy mindedness.
The Preacher Says:
So many irrational things are happening today at an alarming rate that serve as painful reminders of our capacity for barbaric behavior. Violence so deranged, the only plausible explanation is: mental illness! Whether it's genetic flaws or drugs or plain ol' meanness, the most sensible thing I've heard about coping with the pressures of living today, is a renewed emphasis on mental health.
For those who still respect the scriptures there is this hopeful New Testament word: "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear, but of power and love and a sound mind." A sound mind! Now that's something valuable to which our religion can contribute! Even though it dates back to the First century, it indicates there's never been a time when mental health is easy. Our modern civilization is so complicated that the strain is just too much for some. I suspect it's more of an excuse than a reason. But either way, we're still left with the insanity of unprovoked deadly outbursts and senseless deaths, that practicing our faith might've prevented.
There's another side to this. If our times have in many ways increased the difficulties of healthy-mindedness, in other ways it has decreased them; especially from a historical perspective. Thanks to progress, we're free from the superstitions that haunted our forebears, the mystery of the plagues, the demented dread of demons, the horrifying fear of hell, or the terror of torture for heresy. As hard as it seems to keep our sanity today, never in history has it been easier to develop a sound mind.
So why all the crazy behavior? Poor Self-image? Publicity? Power? Instant fame? Probably all of that and then some. But St. Paul's confidence in Christianity's contribution to healthy-mindedness is amazing, when you consider the things he endured for his faith. But none of that made him a nut! He faced constant disappointment: the limitations of physical health. He was brutally beaten in public by his opponents. He knew poverty; long periods of jail-time; and finally, ended up as a martyr in Rome, when his greatest desire was to take the gospel to Spain.
But through all that, and in spite of it, he somehow kept a sound mind and high morale, so that his last word was one of an unembittered soul: "I have fought a good fight, I finished my course, I kept the faith!" What an undefeatable spirit! Something gave him "the power to see it through." Might not his words to Timothy also apply to us? "God has not given us a spirit of fear but of power and love and a sound mind."
I guess it's unusual to hear about sanity from the pulpit. We expect to hear about morality, like "sin" and "righteousness." Granted those are good "preaching" words. And as mean as we are, they have a long future ahead of them. But they cloud the issue. Take the ambiguity of pride for instance. When everything is "I, me, myself" is pride a sin? Or is a conceited egotist, infected with an unbalanced mental condition? Somebody suffering from too much You Tube and not enough church?
Albert Einstein was held in scientific opinion as an equal among immortals like Newton and Galileo. How did that affect him? In his own words: "Many times I realize how my own achievements are built upon the labors of others, both living and dead, and how I long to give in return as much as I've received." Whew! Those are the words of a healthy man! To give back in return? His heart was as big as his mind!
When Jesus spoke of himself, it was: "The good shepherd; the great physician." He saw himself as a healer, "They that are whole need no physician, but they that are sick." Body, mind, and spirit. If our religion doesn't do something for our character then it isn't worth having. Perhaps the most feared disease today is Alzheimer's, the loss of the mind. St. Paul believed our faith enhances our mental health.
Let's look at it. When he mentioned "a spirit of power," he's not referring to calculating, political force, but inner spiritual power. Having a healthy mind provides us with the interior resources to meet life's ambushes that can strike anybody at any time. The one thing that makes belief in God hardest to come by is when cruel things happen to innocent ones. Nobody has ever laid that one to rest. When life pounds us to pieces, it kicks up "a spirit of fear," and feelings of inadequacy to stand up to life. People respond to their inadequacies in several ways. Some try to boast their way around them. Other attempt to cover-up their feelings of inferiority. Some blame others for their deficiency, especially those who make them look bad. Some revert to day-dreaming themselves into an illusory world of make-believe. The most pathetic go on a shooting binge that ends in self-destruction, taking as many as they can with them.
The Apostle's remedy is spiritual power, inner resources like prayer and possibility-thinking. That can be tapped, even in prison when he said: "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Paul believed in self-sufficiency and would have no part of victimhood! His religion made his only dependency a healthy one, on God. We too come to church to pray. How important is having a time when we open our lives to Divine resources, so we can experience what the prophet said: "They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength?" Who doesn't need to "renew their strength?" The church offers power that is renewable! If you have a little of it, you can deepen your reservoir. If you have none of it, then you can meet the conditions to get it. For life being what it is and us being what we are, you're gonna run into something bigger than you are sooner or later. Then what?
Paul continues: "God hasn't given us a spirit of fear, but of power, and love." He advised the church at Corinth: "Make love your aim" (14:1). That, more than anything is what leads to a sound mind. It is the antidote for the rampages over the hand life has dealt us. It's not "make bitterness your aim." That only leads to getting even; the ugliest sin. Lesser souls lash out in vengeance. Somebody's gotta pay for my misery! Now that's a mental case! Just not a crime.
If ever any man deserved to be bitter it was the Christ on Calvary. But life's unfairness only made him better. Suspended between two thieves, that's life: the best and the worst nailed together, with no justice anywhere in sight. Truth on the scaffold; wrong on the throne. Yet it was that "old rugged cross" that swayed the future, with God holding the bandages over in the shadows, keeping watch over it all. When all God does is "hold our bandages," how easy to walk thru life accumulating stings.
Nothing contributes more to an unsound mind. And there stands Paul and Jesus, two of the most unembittered souls who ever lived. How could they continue to be magnanimous, full of goodwill, in spite of the injustice? That comes from a sound mind. Both believed the church could augment it. And this church is blessed with an admirable record in that regard: having been around going on 400 years, attempting the same. I like being a part of that! It is an uncontested truth: bitterness imprisons life; love releases it. Bitterness paralyzes the spirit; love empowers it. Bitterness sours life; love makes life worth living. Bitterness sickens the soul; love heals it. Anybody who's lived awhile knows that's so.
Finally Paul says: "God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, and love and a sound mind." The Gospel of John says Jesus made his enemies angry because he "made a whole man healthy" (7:23). The word is the same as "hygiene." Jesus had a healthy mind that could blend the opposites of a serpent and a dove. Sharp-minded, warm-hearted. That is the makings of a sound mind that won't be going loony on somebody!
Religion in the extreme can push folks over the edge. Control freaks, out of control, characterized by cynicism, disillusionment, trapped, guilty, despairing. Allergic to sacrifice. All are diseases of the mind. And they either have no time or too much time for the church. Imagine there's no heaven! That makes a burlesque of reality. Above us only sky! Nothing in life to live by; no meaning in the universe to live for. And no religion too! Even though it is the Christian faith that offers purpose and hope. I don't see how a soul can get a sound mind till it develops a religious faith. Whole persons are those who avoid aimlessness, who make it their aim to leave the world better than it found it.
You may be interested to know it has been substantiated by scientific studies that meaningful church involvement has been shown to improve mental health, that makes individuals more law abiding and productive and less destructive. Improved mental health benefits individuals and directly aids the communities where they live. Well boy hidy! Where've they been? It only took science two thousand years to catch- up with the Bible! (http://erlc.com/article/some‑positive‑benefits‑churches‑bring‑to‑communities/).
Look at what we've done to God's creation today. If we're to have any semblance of a world worth living in tomorrow; if our homes are worth living in, our schools worth attending, if, out of the chaos comes a more decent world for those who come after us, who will build that better day? It'll be somebody with a sound mind! I know who it won't be — the skeptics, or the resentful, discouraged fatalists. Or the victimized or the vindictive, power-hungry reprobates who think only of themselves. Never! If the world survives another century, it will fall to those of a sound mind to make it happen.
I have lived long enough now to have seen many appalling tragedies that befall people. As well as some of my own. Some caused by others; most self-inflicted; some by nature. Or just being at the wrong place at the wrong time. The luck of the draw. But I've also seen how deeply indebted we should be to the gift of religious faith, even if somebody has only a little of it by indirect contagion. These are the ones who developed the blessing of mental health; "wise as serpents; harmless as doves."
ProvidencePrayers: (3/3/13)
We thank Thee Lord for all who contribute, even in the smallest ways, to making this world a more fit place to live, because so many are unfit to live with. Too many things happen that horrify us but no longer shock us because of the frequency. Especially we remember those who weary of the unending struggle and are tempted to give up. Forgive our eagerness to take the shortcuts that often lead to detours. For craving easy answers to complexity; our unhealthy desire for instant everything: from coffee to credit, to news, connections — all while inwardly longing for instant resolution to the ills that plague us and our world.
Renew our strength in this hour, that we may "mount up on eagle's wings, to walk and not be weary, to run and not faint." Grant us the spiritual resources that enable us to stand up to life; to be bigger than what happens to us, to get ourselves off our hands, so we can be of help to others less fortunate.
Amidst all the fierce changes of our world, Thou art the "same yesterday, today, and forever." Abide with us, above the changes and chances of our hurrying years. Be near to all who need Thee as we all attempt to adjust to the unfamiliar invasions in our lives, and let the good news of Christ provide direction and hope. Bless us with the poise of our Lord in his most trying time, and the persistence of St. Paul, that leads to "the peace of God, which passes all understanding." Through Christ our Lord.

Scapa Flow Reveals Rare Sighting Of Flame Shell Molluscs
Previous records off Orkney date back to the 1950's say divers
Scuba divers say they have found rare flame shells – a small scallop like species - in Scapa Flow, Orkney, just two years after a scarce giant fan mussel was recorded by divers in the same area.
Led by Dr Joanne Porter of Heriot-Watt University, 12 divers from Seasearch, the volunteer dive project co-ordinated by MCS were diving in Orkney from the MV Halton, skippered by Bob Anderson.
Seasearch is a volunteer underwater survey project for recreational divers, enabling them to contribute to protecting marine wildlife through recording underwater habitats and the plants and animals they support. Seasearch provides training for volunteer divers and organises dives and survey expeditions.
Seasearch Surveyor and underwater photographer George Brown, from Inverness, recognised a shell and pebble structure on the seabed as that made by flame shells (Limaria hians): "Only close examination of the structure revealed it was indeed inhabited. These beautiful flame shells were found in Scapa Flow at a depth of 16 metres. Interestingly, there are two other records of Limaria in Orkney, both dating back to the 1950's. So these could be the first finds for over half a century," said George.
Despite its flamboyant bright orange tentacles the Flame shell is very difficult to spot within its nest.
Calum Duncan, MCS Scotland Programme Manager and Seasearch Coordinator in Scotland said divers have once again provided keen eyes underwater: "This is certainly one of Scotland's underwater biological treasures. It's always exciting when a new record of a rare, threatened or declining species such as flame shell is made, and just goes to show how much we have to value and protect that is out of sight beneath Scotland's waves. Dr Porter, Bob, George and the other local divers are to be commended for providing an excellent example of Seasearch in action, becoming local experts and increasing our knowledge of sea life."
This is the latest record of a Priority Marine Feature - species or habitats worthy of marine conservation action in Scotland - in Scapa Flow, following finds of fan mussel, sea grass beds, maerl beds and horsemussel beds.

Carrabelle, FL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 09/25/2012 -- Reverend Lloyd Roseman of the Universal Life Church World Headquarters, a Bishop from the Los Angeles, California area wishes to announce this great offering in the LA area: Free health clinic to be held at Sports Arena - The event, hosted by the Los Angeles-based nonprofit Care Harbor, will take place from Thursday to Sunday, Sept. 30. The clinic will be open from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day. patients must have a wristband, which will be handed out on a first-come, first-serve basis beginning September 24th, 2012 at the Sports Arena starting at 1 p.m.
Care Harbor provides health care for the under-served, their website states as follows:
More than 50 million Americans are without health insurance. Many more have no dental or vision coverage or cannot afford their high deductibles. Care Harbor is responding to this enormous need on three fronts.
First, we provide free care on a massive scale – everything from dental fillings, cleanings and extractions to eye exams and prescription glasses; from medical exams and procedures to immunizations and screenings. In the space of a few days, our free clinic events bring help and hope to thousands.
Second, we offer extensive prevention and education resources. Many serious health conditions are preventable. Care Harbor events gather our most vulnerable populations under one roof at one time and provide information and counseling that can help them lead healthier lives – from smoking cessation to nutrition, from stress reduction to preventive dentistry. Our clinics are organized to encourage waiting patients to take full advantage of these resources. Our prevention effort can have a lasting impact on the health of the community.
Third, because the short term, episodic care of a single event cannot address longer term medical problems, we work with the local safety net in each community – clinics, hospitals and private practices – to arrange follow-up care for patients who need it. Whenever possible, we have representatives of these facilities on site to make appointments for patients before they leave the venue. Typically, 25% of our patients need and receive follow-up care – allowing them to be treated before diseases progress to a more critical stage and outcome.
Care Harbor has developed the systems and capabilities to organize large scale clinics that combine a high standard of care with maximum operating efficiency. From patient handling systems and electronic medical records to volunteer recruiting and training, we provide the organization, tools and resources to help assure a successful event. Most of all, we have designed our clinic systems to assure that everyone coming to a Care Harbor event is treated with dignity and respect. We believe that compassionate care is as beneficial to our patients as the many services we provide.

Categories > TV > Charmed > A Child Will Lead Them
Family Unit0 Reviews
The Charmed Ones and Leo deal with their shock. Chris finally goes home.
Chris and Piper started coughing almost immediately after orbing into their home. Waving his free hand in front of them in an attempt to dissipate some of the smoke Chris made his way over to the end with the bedrooms. He telekinetically opened doors and windows and turned on a few ceiling fans along the way, the smoke getting thinner the closer he got. Thankfully it was totally gone by the time he made it to his daughter's room, it being the farthest away from the kitchen. A precaution Chris subtly arrange after moving in.
Placing his little girl down Chris kissed the top of her head. "I'll be right back."
Getting up Chris left the room, making his way towards the kitchen. The smoke wasn't quite as bad as before but it was still getting fairly thick the closer he got to his destination. When he was just about there he noticed that the nearby walls had a few scorch marks. No doubt from a stray energy ball hurled in frustration.
Chris sighed at the sight. "This is why we can't have neighbours."
Indeed they didn't. Their home consisted of the entire top floor of their building. Much bigger than they actually needed in Chris' opinion. Various people had been trying to get him to take a large place for awhile now. After the hospitalizations involved in Bianca's last attempt at cooking he finally agreed. Well, he never really like those neighbours anyways. And that poodle, poor bastard never saw it coming...
Finally he arrived in the kitchen. It was remarkably well lit, and not just from the fluorescent bulbs. The huge spires of flame coming from the frying pans helped a fair bit. The light from the fire danced across Bianca's features as she tried frantically to beat them out with a washcloth in one hand while knocking the fallen smoke detector out of her face with the other. It was dangling from the ceiling by a single wire. He'd thought it was weird that it wasn't going off. All the while Bianca was cursing up a storm in a multitude of languages. Some human, some demon, some neither.
Under normal circumstance Chris would never have had a chance in hell at sneaking up on the trained assassin. Right now, however, she was... well, distracted. Perhaps he would have been able to remain undetected longer if he had been able to stifle his chuckle at the sight. We will never know because there was no way in hell he could manage it.
She turned around at the sudden noise, hand raised and energy ball formed.
"Hi honey, I'm home!" He managed to ground out between laughs.
"Chris!" Bianca exclaimed as she dropped the energy ball and practically jumped into his arms.
As he returned the embrace he subtly used his telekinesis to snuff out the flames and turned off all the burners, just in case.
Chris smirked at her. "I think we should get take out."
Bianca smacked him playfully before smirking herself and pulling him down for a passionate kiss. They didn't know how long exactly they stay locked in their embrace, but by the time they were startled out they were both out of breath.
"Yuck." Came a little voice from behind them.
They turned to see their daughter standing behind them. The smoke was completely gone as well.
"So my Little Miracle." Chris said as he picked his daughter up with one arm and placed the other around his wife. "What do you say we go out for pizza?"
The group stared on in shock as the last of the orb lights dissipated. Of all the things they imagined when they first met the young Piper Hope Halliwell this was definitely not on the list.
"Did... Did that just... really...?" Phoebe couldn't even get the whole sentence out.
"So we were right." Paige said wearing a stunned expression. "Chris must have married into the family."
Piper nodded her agreement, not taking her eyes off the spot where the father and daughter disappeared. "Makes sense. After everything he's done... going to the past. Who would risk so much unless it was for family?"
"Does that mean Chris is a Phoenix? I never saw a tattoo." Paige asked.
Phoebe shrugged and pointed out. "He could have hidden it."
The quiet reply may as well have been a fierce yell. For a moment the sisters had been so distracted with the new revelation and Leo had been so quiet that they had nearly forgotten he was there. The single hushed word filled with so much pain and guilt brought their attention like a thunderclap.
"No what?" Piper asked as she came up and placed a comforting hand on his shoulder seeing the emotions in his voice doubly so on his face. That disturbing mix of pain, guilt and sorrow that appears on the face of one who has just realized they have done something they may never be able to take back, or make up for.
"He can't be a Phoenix"
"Why not?"
"Because there are no male Phoenix witches."
"But then the only other explanation is-" Paige started.
Phoebe finished for her. "That he's a Halliwell!"
"Yes, and he's my son." Leo told them as he looked into Piper's eyes. "Our son."
"No, no, no, no and a hell no!"
"It can't be Paige. She's a Mathews not a Halliwell." He risked a brief glance to her. "No offence."
"None taken."
"Phoebe!" Piper pointed out.
Leo shook his head. "It's obvious now that he is half whitelighter. I don't see Phoebe getting together with a whitelighter any time soon and... Oh god he looks so much like you Piper! How could I have not seen it!"
He collapsed, fortunately onto the fountain edge behind him but very nearly crumbled to the ground. Leo brought his hands to his face. "He left so many hints and I never saw it. I never caught on."
"None of us did." Phoebe said as she sat next to him and placed a reassuring hand on his arm.
Taking a cue from her sister Paige went up to where Piper was standing stock still, a myriad of emotions warring on her features. Anger. Disbelief. Frustration. Hurt. Joy. And finally, a great deal of the one that everybody else was also feeling, guilt.
"Are you alright sweetie?" She asked even though she already knew the answer was no.
"He's my... He's my son!" Piper cried out as it finally settled in. Tears started flowing as she spoke. "He's going to hate me!"
"Why would he do that?"
"Ever since he arrived in the past we've been nothing but suspicious, insulting and down right mean! How could he not!"
"His brother is the new Source and rules the world. Yet he still came back to save him. If he can't hate Wyatt after all he's done I'm sure he can forgive us."
"Can he?" Piper asked her sister with hopeful eyes.
"It will take time, but ya, I'm sure he will."
"And we'll be here." Said a voice from behind her and Piper turned to find a teary eyed Leo behind her. He took her in his arms as she buried her face in his chest. "No matter how long it takes or what we have to do we'll be here."
Phoebe went up to Paige taking some reassures for her own worries in her sister's presence as she watched her other sister and, former and possibly current again, brother in law comfort each other. They didn't know how long they stayed like that. It wasn't until Paige spoke that they moved.
Noticing that they were garnering quite a few looks breaking down in the middle of a park Paige made a suggestion. "Maybe we should figure out what we're going to do somewhere a little more private.
Leo glanced up, taking in the confused, concerned and disinterested glances of passers by. On instinct he waved his hand and suddenly the group of them were surrounded by orb lights and deposited in the apartment he and Piper were sharing. If anyone was stunned by this development they didn't show it. The fact that Leo's powers worked again was of little solace to anyone.
"So now what?" Paige asked the question on everybody's mind.
They remained quiet. Nobody really knew what to say.

Today's very interesting decision rejects on the merits a lawsuit brought by the only remaining facility in the United States for slaughtering horses, which happens to be based in Illinois, against a recently-enacted Illinois law that makes it unlawful to "slaughter a horse if that person knows or should know that any of the horse meat will be used for human consumption."
Some readers may recall that in July 2007, this very same three-judge panel, by a vote of 2-1, issued an injunction pending appeal against enforcement of this law, thereby allowing the slaughterhouse to remain in operation pending today's ruling. My earlier coverage of the opinions in support of and opposed to the issuance of that injunction pending appeal appears at this link. Today's ruling dissolves that injunction.

Our Two Cents
If the cargo for your trip won't fit in compact saddlebags, the Nelson Rigg CL-850 Touring Saddlebags may be the answer.

Each saddlebag also has carrying handles for easy transport, storage pockets inside for keeping smaller items organized and separated, exterior compression straps for securing your cargo, front facing mesh pockets perfect for water bottles or cans, heat shield on the underside, and neoprene padding at the contact points to protect the motorcycle. The saddlebags are attached to each other with heavy duty adjustable Velcro straps which allows you to mount them at the proper height for you motorcycle, and the support inserts that you install make these saddlebags maintain their shape even when empty. All this backed by Nelson Rigg's lifetime no hassle warranty. Nelson Rigg Luggage comes with a warranty registration card, fill it out and register your luggage.

Happy Customers Who Bought This Product
Location: Wisconsin
I was looking specifically for saddle bags that could work on a crotch rocket (Honda VFR), and could withstand the heat of the under tail exhaust. Well, the Nelson Rigg bags with their special high-temp pads added on did the job. Great product, but do keep in mind these pads still only handle up to 300 degrees. (Read more...)
Location: Texas
Great set of bags! I spent 10 days and 900 miles on a round trip from Austin to Albuquerque and the CL-850 bags held up well. They were large enough to handle 5 days of clothing on one side and the rest of my camping gear on the other. (Read more...)

There's a lot of free shit out there in East Vancouver. This is a documentation of that free shit. People want to get rid of things, but those things are usually in pretty good shape. So what do they do? They put it out on that patch of grass between the sidewalk and the street... the "Free Shit Zone". Ranging from fake flowers and white dishes, to couches and used mattresses. It could be there for a matter of minutes or a matter of weeks. It all really depends on how much it rains.

The die is cast. The fix is in. The plot thickens.
Pick your cliché. Sen. Howard Stephenson, R-Draper, smells a rat and is warning his fellow patriots of a Democrat-Socialist-French-Saul Alinsky conspiracy aimed at bringing down the righteous and anointing Satan.
The cabal, Stephenson has uncovered, is being carried out by two seemingly well-intentioned legislators. But don't be fooled, he says, they are lying in wait, ready to strike, with daggers hidden under their cloaks.
They are Sen. Luz Robles, D-Salt Lake City, and Sen. Karen Mayne, D-West Valley City.
(Cue the "Psycho" shower scene music here.)
Stephenson, a conservative's conservative in the Utah Legislature, co-hosts the right-wing Red Meat Radio program every Saturday on K-Talk, where they "set the record straight."
Last Saturday, he welcomed Senate Majority Leader Scott Jenkins on the program to explain his opposition to Robles' bill that would give a property-tax exemption to military personnel deployed to active duty. Jenkins' opposition was widely reported in the press and pilloried by the Democratic Party.
He insisted he was pro-military but believed we need to be mindful of how we dole out special privileges, a reasonable defense of his position.
But Stephenson went further. He noted that Robles has introduced a number of military-related bills this session (she has introduced three) and that Mayne has introduced a number of education and public-safety bills (one each).
It is a designed conspiracy by these two, Stephenson warned his listeners, to trick Republicans into opposing popular programs or just saying something stupid in order to destroy the GOP and bring the Democrats to power in Utah.
Like that will ever happen.
He pointed to the "Colorado Plan," a conspiracy theory promoted in the book The Blueprint, that tells how Democrats and their wealthy conspirators plotted to reverse the Republican dominance in Colorado.
And now, Stephenson warns, it's coming to Utah. Hide the children.
Launching a counterattack • Sen. Howard Stephenson's inside knowledge of the clandestine attempt to destroy the Republican Party by Sen. Luz "The Jackal" Robles and Sen. Karen "The Cobra" Mayne may have motivated his shock-and-awe maneuvers at the Legislature last week.
After weeks of public meetings and committee hearings on funding education, the Education Appropriations Subcommittee, which Stephenson chairs, inserted last-minute language into the bill that would shift as much as $80 million away from local school districts to pay for students transferring to charter schools.
Even Republican Sen. Aaron Osmond was aghast at the secretive move, objecting that such a policy should have had public scrutiny before being inserted as intent language while the committee was giving final approval to the bill.
Stephenson was understanding toward his fellow Republican. After all, Osmond is just a rookie. He doesn't understand the trench warfare tactics needed to counter those subversive "Colorado Plan" sneaks.
A two-front offensive • Republicans in the Legislature should be especially wary of surprise assaults with the launch last week of the Radio From Hell's "Red as Hell Ale," a bombardment of liberalism from an alliance formed by Salt Lake City's most impertinent radio station personalities and the Utah brewer known for its parody of the Utah culture.
The Radio From Hell team of Bill Allred, Kerry Jackson and Gina Barberi has collaborated with Squatters Pubs and Beers to create the new red ale.
The Radio from Hell team has specialized in poking fun of establishment types, including Utah legislators, for years. And Wasatch Brewery, owner of Squatters, is famous for products such as Polygamy Porter ("Why have just one?"), Provo Girl Pilsner and 1st Amendment Lager.
Stephenson might want to recruit the conservative Coors family, even though they are from Colorado, to counter this collusion.

The Juke NISMO is a hilarious riot to drive. If you take one thing away from this full review, that should be it.
Highway fast lanes clear rapidly when any hint of GT-R or NISMO is coming up from behind.
As the second NISMO-tuned effort after the incredibly transformed 370Z Nismo, the Juke is the perfect combination of economy-car basics, but with the highest-tech racing components outside, inside and under the hood.
A similar upgrade in a past Nissan phase would have been the Nissan Sentra SE-R. Nismo isthe new hotness.
There are amazing details all over the Juke Nismo, especially with its very fun and entertaining persona on the roads. This car loves to be floored in AWD V-spec and Sport modes, slamming through seven virtual - and seriously sporty — upshifts at the red-line. In a CVT!
It is true. A huge part of the NISMO magic in the Juke is the reprogrammed ECU that makes sport mode a mandatory button push - right after lighting up the push-button ignition.
TopSpeed's Juke Nismo press loaner is the $25,000 AWD automatic with the navigation system upgrade, but all the joy and fun cornering stance is also on offer in the manual-transmission, front-drive Juke Nismo from just $22,990.
The Nissan Juke NISMO is an incredible machine for sports-car fans and hooning boy-racers alike.
Click past the jump to hear all the reasons why this might be the smartest Fiesta ST alternative on the market.
The Juke NISMO makes every road into a gorgeous playground.
The smoked front headlights tone down the Juke's original styling ... brashness. In black, the dark round lights really disappear and let the Juke NISMO's hood-mounted blinkers and lower GT-R LEDs make a very cool statement.
2014 Nissan Juke NISMO - Profile Styling Detail
Relatively skinny summer tires are worn by the standard 18-inch wheels, which seems odd at first for an AWD crossover.
2014 Nissan Juke NISMO - Tail Styling Detail
The Juke NISMO is a real stunner from behind. The combination of standard tinted glass, a huge rear wing, totally unique rear bumper, and NISMO red diffuser really slam home that this is no pretender edition.
The central rear fog light is a delightful element, but we could not quite figure out how to turn it on in the American-market car we drove. Perhaps a button on the UK cars, where a rear fog is a legal requirement.
Visible mostly from the back, the not-so-wide rubber has an ace in the hole.
It lets the Juke NISMO move around more under heavy throttle. A little more slip brings huge fun and lets the Juke NISMO become a bit more playful - even in AWD-V mode on a dry day.

- NISMO smoked front combination lamps (Halogen headlights)

Video Walk-around
The exterior video walk-around from last month's first-drive article is actually pretty decent.
It highlights a number of good styling details of the Juke NISMO, as well as offering a sample of this little slugger's exhaust gurgle when idling.
Gallery Nissan Juke NISMO - Driven
The Juke NISMO wears dozens of special hypersuede surfaces and red leather accents all over the cabin.
The best highlights are:
- The driving position - which can be set quite low for track-day center of gravity fanatics.
- NISMO-embroided grey suede of wheel and seats is so nice. Never too hot, or too slippery like leather; but clearly only for a sports special and not a mainstream car.
- Dark headliner is a really cool NISMO-exclusive as well
2014 Nissan Juke NISMO - Interior Features
- NISMO sport synthetic suede seats
- NISMO spec bucket front seats

Performance Feel Assessment
The Juke NISMO in sport mode really comes alive. It is always on-power and ready for more pace.
Braking and handling is also very well-done, with firm settings that are fine in daily use and stiff enough to keep it from wobbling on a track.
Acceleration feels great at full throttle in Sport mode, where the CVT changes its whole strategy and mimic's a very aggressive torque-converter automatic in how it upshits.
There is none of the 'mooing' and surging sense that even joins the plush Pathfinder when the gas pedal is floored.

- NISMO-tuned MR16DDT – 1.6-liter Direct Injection Gasoline (DIG) DOHC 16-valve turbocharged 4-cylinder engine

Pricing and Availability
The Juke NISMO has a different model year schedule than other models, and 2014 pricing is not yet available. The 2013 car is exactly the same, and available now with even a few rebate offers.
- Nissan Advanced Air Bag System with dual-stage supplemental front air bags with seat belt and occupant-classification sensors
- Driver and front-passenger seat-mounted side-impact supplemental air bags
- Roof-mounted curtain side-impact supplemental air bags for front and rear-seat outboard occupants head protection
- Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) with Traction Control System (TCS)
- 3-point ALR/ELR passenger seat belt system (ELR for driver)
- Front seat belts with pretensioners and load limiters
- Front-seat Active Head Restraints
- LATCH System (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren)
- Energy-absorbing steering column
- High-strength steel side-door guard beams
- Zone Body construction with front and rear crumple zones
- Hood buckling creases
- Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) with individual tire pressure display
Aside from all the amazing driving traits, handling balance, exterior upgrades and interior overhaul: is there anything left to rave about in this awesome Nissan?
Turbocharged. GT-R LED lighting in front. Red mirrors and rear central fog light in back like a race car.
Manual or automatic, front or AWD. That must be it, surely?
There is one more tiny detail worth repeating: the incredibly affordable $24,000 base pricing.
The fact that this turbocharged rocket is only a few thousand above a regular Juke only sweetens the deal.
- Pounce on this incredibly fun and chic NISMO upgrade
- Juke NISMO details from every angle
- Choice of transmissions is very thoughtful
- Loves to be floored and thrown around corners, with hilarious results
- Central nav touchscreen is full-featured, but too tiny
- A bit more overboost would be welcome for highway passing
- Nothing else - Juke NISMO is a great sports car

Helen Fisher's Dating Site + Personality Quiz
I decided to take the morning and complete Helen Fisher's Chemistry Quiz. I answered all questions honestly and found the results were fun to read. I haven't had any luck with dating sites in the past, but her quiz was by far the most interesting one I have taken. FYI if you want to put up a profile on this site it is super expensive! No profile for me, just quiz results!
Here are some of my results based on Dr. Fisher's research »>
Personality type: Negotiator/explorer
About my personality:
You see the big picture. You easily take the broad, long view of almost any topic. You are comfortable juggling myriad facts. You tend to synthesize material easily and think in webs of factors, not straight lines. You areimaginative and enjoy ideas.
You are also socially savvy. You are good at both talking and listening. And you generally read people's faces, body postures and tone of voice accurately, so you often intuitively understand what people want and need.
You are also highly compassionate. You care deeply about others. So you are inclined to make personal sacrifices to be a supportive friend and colleague. And you are idealistic and altruistic; you like to work to improve the world.
And you have an adventurous side; you enjoy new ideas and novel experiences and you want to share these with an enthusiastic partner. But you are particularly fond of people who are direct, decisive, focused and tough-minded, people who complement your more flexible, agreeable and affable style.
Relating to others:
As a Negotiator, you seek a spiritual, life long connection to a "true love". But you don?t want someone who is emotionally dependent. You admire people who need a good deal of autonomy. Marriage is important to you; but the social pledge of matrimony is far less sacred than the personal commitment you privately make to your beloved. You strive for harmony in your primary relationship. So youexpress your love regularly - with hugs, thoughtful presents, romantic weekends or by creating other special times together.
And you want a mate who is daring, playful and adventurous, yet one who will balance you - someone who is calm, decisive, strong-willed, focused and supportive of your enthusiastic, caring and imaginative spirit.
In love and relationships:
You dislike conflict. You seek "win-win" solutions. You are good at sharing power and ideas. And you are a master at the art of intimacy - building deep and exciting relationships with others. Nevertheless, you often enjoy solitude or intense interactions with just one individual or a few close friends. And you particularly enjoy people who like to play with abstract theories and ideas, provide insights, search for symbolic meanings in life and relationships and have a broad interest in the world.
Reading through my personality type according to this research is actually pretty cool. I am realting to it and finding it spot on in many ways, I don't think I have ever said that about an online quiz! I have been a fan of Helen Fisher's research for years and think she has made some tremendous strides in the field of romantic relationships.
