Chattanooga: Two arrested in shootings
It's a shame that Chattanooga is the way it is. There is no need for all this unecessary killings. Okay, true the jobs are scarce and the economy is bad. But that's life. You adapt and sacrifice. These shootings are bad choices that people makes. But where is our faith? Our family values? Our morals? All of a sudden, parents aren't there to teach and mold their children. Instead, they condone their children's actions. They're quick to defend their children's wrongdoings. Something IS wrong..it starts at home.
Revitalizing Brainerd
All this talk of revitalizing sounds good, and maybe looks good on paper, but attention is needed in more areas than brainerd. I can see as well as anyone else, that there's alot more work to be done in many areas that have been neglected for far too long. If we are to spend taxpayer dollars to redevelope our city, let's do it were it's needed most, and not only in wealthy areas because we're all taxpayers living and working here together.

A year ago I went crazy.
Like actually, stark raving mad.
Daryl Hannah and Shaun Young on the White House lawn for a rally that is vaguely related to endangered birds crazy.
I got dumped by someone I had spent three years of my life with. Someone, who at the time, was literally my world. It was, clearly, a very codependent, addictive, unhealthy, young, and unbalanced relationship. The cracks had long begun to show. Cracks like three screaming matches a day, constant jealousy, constant distrust, and my most memorably insane moment…. a drug fueled argument about my body image issues in the middle of West Hollywood on a Saturday night that ended with my literally CHASING him down Santa Monica Boulevard (he got away, btw, because SOME PEOPLE took PE in high school).
All that said, the actual break up came as a shock. More than a shock, a hurricane striking my little world and I honestly thought I was dying. While a lot of people internatilize this kind of sadness and anger and rage, I did the opposite. I broadcast, I made it who I was, I was no longer Jeffery. I was now an angry, heartbroken, depressed, woe is me version of myself who spent most of his time taking selfies of himself in bed. Let's be honest, I was Diane Keaton in the "I'm SORRRRY" scene of First Wives Club, because ultimately thats the only way I knew how to deal with my first break up. And it's how I felt.
I've always been weirdly public about my emotions, good and bad, on the internet. It's weird and sometimes a bit off putting for potential dates or people who might consider giving me a job but then go… "but wait, isn't he crazy?" And in the past year, I really really really indulged in the publicness of social media. In fact, it became my addiction. I have been addicted to broadcasting my emotions online since August of last year. Especially the bad ones. I became addicted to being an angry person. To being a mess. To being the pathetic version of myself that I see when my depression takes hold over me and I am completely incapable of seeing the good.
Some people say you lose your mind at the age of 27, something about saturn returning or whatever, and for me it started more so around 26 1/2 and only got worse. Until recently.
Something flipped. A switch. The switch so many people who reached out to me during my very public sadness promised would come. They never said when, but they all said the same thing… one day, you'll wake up, and realize that you're okay. And finally, I did.
In retrospect, I have some large regrets about how I handled myself during my quarter life crisis. Parts of me wished I had kept my insanity to myself but ultimately, I know that would have been impossible. The internet can be this weird support system for you in times of pain, but it can also become that addictive outlet for validation and assurance I so indulged in.
I lived my past relationship extremely publicly, and the public break up that followed made sense to me, and still does. I just wish I hadn't let anger take complete control. It was a combination of events that really set me off and its been a combination of events to reel me back into reality. Back into a world where I'm not constantly angry and bitter anymore. Only sometimes.
I didn't speak to my ex boyfriend all year. I couldn't. He reached out but I always responded with the venom of that cobra that escaped the Central Park Zoo a couple years ago. I avoided him, in every possible way. And one day, a few months ago, as I started to see someone new, I got these little whispers in my ear from somewhere beyond. Whispers that suggested maybe I'd be able to find some peace if I forgave him or apolgoized for my own mistakes. I couldn't though, the idea was too tough to even consider. Besides, fuck him, I thought. Fuck that. You're angry. You'll ALWAYS be angry.
But the other day, some friends reached out to tell me that he was leaving Los Angeles to go on an adventure away from technology. And the minute I heard that I knew it was time for me to let go. Let go of the anger, of the past, of the grudge, of the hurt, of the bullshit I've carried around with me for a whole year. It doesn't have to be so difficult, one of those whispers said, a little louder. (NO I am not hearing actual voices, this is a metaphor, PLEASE hire me. I promise I'm stable!)
So I reached out, I said I'm sorry, I said I forgive him, I wished him well, I said goodbye to the grudge and the past… and the minute I did, I felt the final switch.
There have been many others over the past few weeks. Walking down the streets of New York and remembering how sad I was on the exact blocks a year ago and seeing sunshine, noticing sunshine again. That's a switch. Losing myself in the audience at a Broadway musical and for three hours not thinking about anything else, a task I've rarely ever done before, that's a switch. A cute blond Australian boy to laugh with over a glass of wine at 100 Acres before going to shoot Watch What Happens Live. That's a switch. A show with one of my closest friends with people laughing and cheering for five nights in the village. That's a switch.
And by letting go, really and truly letting go of that rage I have clung to since last August, I feel ready to be genuinely okay again. I feel ready to give myself over to all the things I forget about when I'm depressed and not sure if I'll ever notice sunshine again. It's an uphill battle, depression and stuff, and one I will fight forever. But this particular storm feels like it's cleared. Like the final switch has come. And I hope I can remember all of this next time. That the switches come. So does the sunshine. There will always be a switch.

Would have to be 4-horsemen. I would rather have done it back in Vanilla Naxx, where rotating around more than 3 times is actually neccessary.
Though I do love the amount of concentration it requires. As a DPS, I just have to watch my DoT timers (less in 3.1), and make sure I don't stand in anything painful. While tanking 4-horsemen, I have to keep up my leeching-dots (Siphon Life, Haunt, Drain Life), watch the stacks of marks and avoid Blaumeux's Void Zones. That might seem easy for your average tank, but most DPS aren't use to it.
Though as a close second, it'd have to be Blackheart the Inciter. For obvious reasons.

I have to say I agree with you sometimes. However, on the subject of product
pricing and related topics, the information is coming from those of us
buying from DEC. We _are_ seeing positive change.
Digital _have_ cut the prices substantially, product availability is good
now, and support is generally fairly steady.
Those of us in the Alpha marketplace are enjoying some good results, and
Digital have improved support and availability noticably in the last few months.
They have also told us that we can expect OSF1/DEC UNIX pricing to improve
in January.

Full Coverage Vs. Dental And Vision Coverage
Insurance can be a tricky thing. It is sometimes hard to know what you are covered for, what you are partially covered for, and what is not in your jurisdiction at all.

One thing people have questions over is the what the difference is between full coverage and dental and vision coverage.

Should You Enroll In Employer-Offered Insurance?
The biggest advantage to insurance that is offered by your employer is that you can often get better coverage or pay less money. This is because your employer is buying a huge plan for hundreds of employees. When buying this much coverage, it costs less per person than if you were just buying coverage for an individual. You will either end up paying less or getting better coverage for a similar price.
One thing that you should think about, though, is what the coverage means for your family. Will your spouse and Read the rest of this entry »

Finding The Right Health Plan For You
Company Plans
Choosing a health insurance plan is a big decision for individuals. Each person must find a plan that provides coverage required for particular medical conditions. Contacting several insurance providers for brochures showing costs, provisions, deductibles and other information is vital for making an informed decision. Individuals should first talk to an employer's human resource department to learn about company sponsored insurance plans. Employers typically offer plans at a reduced rate as a benefit to employees.

Just wanted to share how I got the pulp out of the orange. It made the process a lot easier. I halved the oranges and then I squeezed the juice into a bowl very softly being careful not to rip the skin. I then, with a grapefruit spoon, scraped the pulp right out starting from the inside. It took no time at all, with in minutes I really got the hang of it and scooped out 20 oranges.

It could become costlier to work in Hatboro if the governing body moves forward with implementing an annual Local Services Tax.
The tax, which can be levied at up to $52 per year for those employed within the borough, would replace the existing $10 Occupational Privilege Tax, Hatboro Council President John Zygmont said.
"It's where you work," Zygmont said of who would be responsible for paying the tax. "It was put in that way so that towns, employment centers …. had a source of revenue … as opposed to passing on all of our municipal costs."
Zygmont said he is awaiting information from Berkheimer Tax Administrator to determine the amount of revenue that could be realized with the higher wage tax, as well as how many Hatboro residents versus non-residents would be impacted. Zygmont told Patch that he expects to have that data in time for the council's Oct. 8 committee meeting.
If enacted, he said the council would need to take action at the Oct. 22 meeting so it could be put in place for January, when the tax would begin to be deducted. Zygmont said the tax would be deducted throughout the course of the year. For weekly employees at $1 per week and $2 per week for those paid bi-weekly.
Horsham Township Manager Bill Walker said Horsham switched from the $10 Occupational Privilege Tax to a $52 Local Services Tax about two years ago. He said the extra $42 generated per every one of the 30,000 to 35,000 Horsham employees was a "help" in building up the township's capital improvement account and allowing the municipality to have a surplus.
Previously called the Emergency and Municipal Service Tax, the Local Services Tax is deducted at the beginning of each year from the paychecks of workers with annual incomes above $12,000.
The state mandates that 25 percent of the revenues generated from the levy be used toward emergency services. In addition, "municipalities, but not school districts, are specifically permitted to use (Local Services Tax) revenues to reduce property taxes through a homestead or farmstead exclusion," according to the state's Web site.
Towns that enact a homestead or farmstead exclusion are required to put an ordinance in place prior to December 1 in order for it to take effect the following year.

Need kitchen help!
December 29, 2012 in Design Dilemma
I would like to update my kitchen and I am stuck on what to do. We are definitely replacing floor, table, counter tops, bar stools and would like to add a backsplash. The entire house has oak doors and trim, I am stuck on whether or not to paint the cabinets. I love the grays and blues and the light airiness of the white cabinets, but nervous about painting wood because I heard they chip a lot. Any ideas?

I had my yellow oak cabinets painted an almond soft color...and also had a cabinet maker beef up the crown molding and add bead board to the side and back of the peninsula and Rope trim in a deep coffee color on the crown molding. It turned out beautiful and my painter used a commercial grade Benjamin Moore Exterior paint since I have such a strong sun exposure. They are as beautiful as ever and it has been two years.

Painting the cabinets is the most cost effective way to update your kitchen. If you prepare for painting by lightly sanding and priming they will last and look beautiful. Change the knobs and pulls to a stylish brushed chrome or something you love. I would paint the cabinets white. I would suggest creating some contrast with wood floors. You could also use butcher block for countertops stained a darker color. Butcher block is not as expensive as granite or stone but just as beautiful and easier to install. I love a light blue or gray tone on the walls with white cabinets - the contrast is more suttle but it makes your kitchen look and feel fresh and clean. You could install glass tile or even one inch slate and glass tiles for your back splash. I tried to attach a picture of a butcher block counter with white cabinets but my iPad will not let me. Google butcher block counters and you will see how beautiful they are.

Oak is an open grain wood so if you are looking for a smooth finish, you will need to apply a grain filler before painting. It's not hard to work with but it adds another round of sanding to the mix.

Can you remove the peninsula and the uppers above - I would also remove the valance - take it around the corner - remove the cove trim on the sides. Replace the fluorescents in the soffits with potlights. If you can find stock doors in a big building supply store I would replace with ones that have no arches. There are really nice look alike granite countesr out there if you cannot afford granite (which I would not buy unless you get a whole new kitchen) Then fill the grain, sand toroughly - maybe use Bin as a primer and paint them an almost white or any colour you like for that matter. And new hardware. If you are worried about scratches you can use the distressed look.

I am in a similar boat, but my husband is a finishing carpenter and painter. He is going to spray our cabinets/and prep as needed according to paint type used. They use an enamel which holds up very well according to him. I am afraid of the havoc I would create trying to do it myself..If u do it yourself, I would get very informed on prepping and application! Good luck!

I'm with Interiors International here. It is ALL about the prep work! The "chipping" comes from poor prep. If the original finish is LEFT ON you will get chipping. It's because the two chemicals (original finish/stain + paint) do not like each other and, even when primed, they choose not to hold on to each other.
Find a reputed cabinet maker/refurbisher (local BBB listings help...so to their national or state association) to do a consult. Usually the first visit/estimate is free - they want your business and they most likely make house calls!
Once the cabinets are taken care of and reinstalled, then have a look at what you want to do with the rest of the kitchen (paint colour, back splash, counter tops, flooring). Let the cabinets set the pace and the rest will fall into place.

Regis to Host Jobs Fair for StudentsJanuary 20, 2014
As the Spring semester gears up and students ponder their future employment opportunities, Regis is planning its second annual Jobs Fair. Last year's event successfully resulted in many hires by prominent Boston-based employers. In fact, the event was so successful, employers have been proactively contacting Regis to recruit on campus. "We are still talking about how great Regis College is," commented a recruiter from a Fortune 500 company. Another recruiter noted "we recruit at a lot of schools and the students are okay, but something is missing. That missing ingredient is here at Regis."
This year's Connection 2014 Jobs Fair will be held on Tuesday, February 11, 2014 from 5:00 to 7:00pm in the College Hall Foyer. Already 23 employers have committed to participate. What makes the Connections 2014 Jobs Fair different is that Regis does not charge employers for on-campus recruiting, something that most colleges do. Employers will find a diverse student population whose focus on liberal arts combined with experiential learning makes them ready for the work force. The Fair is open to Regis undergraduate and graduate students.
Susan Kennedy, Director of Internships and Career Development at Regis, observed that "the employers from last year's event were very impressed by Regis students. Our students are interdisciplinary thinkers who come from a diverse demographic making them primed and ready for the global market of the real world."

Jumping bristletail
From Citizendium, the Citizens' Compendium
|Jumping bristletails
|Scientific classification
Jumping bristletails (Order Archaeognatha) were once classified with true bristletails, as they have a characteristic 3 long filament-like tails.
Jumping bristletails are wingless, medium-sized insect measuring around 15mm in length, excluding the tails and antennae. They are generally a brownish color. They have compound eyes which are so large they occupy most of the head. They also have styli, movable fingerlike projections, on their abdomen.
Life Cycle
Metamorphosis is simple. Nymphs resemble adults. Unlike other insects, however, jumping bristletails will continue to molt occasionally even after they are sexually mature.
Jumping bristletails live under rubble, loosely piles stones, leaf litter or bark in grassy or wooded areas, and in rocky cliffs next to the sea.
Jumping bristletails were once considered part of the now defunct order Thysanura. Later, they were given their own order, Microcoryphia, which has since been supplanted by the current name, Archeaognatha.
Number of species
There are 25 species found in North America, and 350 worldwide.
There are two families in this order, distinguished by differences in scales at the base of the antennae, and the number of pouches, or vesicles, beneath each abdominal segment.

Adoptive Parents Worry Their Babies Were Sold
Ronda Kaysen: From the start, Malinda Seymore suspected something was amiss about her adoptive daughter's birth story. The Chinese orphanage told her that Zoe was a foundling, left on a bridge on the day of her birth with a note written on red paper by her birth parents. But three other adoptive families received similar notes, written on the same red paper, when they adopted their daughters from the same orphanage. Seymore suspected she wasn't getting the whole story. But with only the orphanage's word to go on, there was little she could do but wonder.
Eight years later, she is still wondering. And with good reason. This summer, the Los Angeles Times reported that corrupt officials in the Chinese government kidnapped babies from their homes and sold them to orphanages for upwards of $3,000 a piece. This is not the first time that reports of trafficking have trickled out of China, but it is by far the most shocking incident to date.
The latest news unleashed a torrent of conflicting emotions within the adoptive community ranging from worry to anger to outright denial. Some see the news as further proof that their lingering suspicions are well founded.
"There are all of these unanswered questions and inconsistencies in the information I have that raised this issue of whether there is some corruption involved," Seymore told momlogic.
When news broke that orphanages were paying for children, Seymore saw that as a clue as to what might have happened to Zoe, who is now 9. Now the mystery of the note had several possible solutions. Maybe Zoe wasn't a foundling, but was instead delivered to the orphanage by her parents, and the orphanage gave them the red paper on which to write the note. That scenario would mean the abandonment document is a forgery. Or, it could be that someone else delivered Zoe to the orphanage and that person wrote the note, throwing her entire story into doubt. Whatever the truth is, the facts still don't add up.
"The not knowing is one of the hardest things Zoe has to deal with," said Seymore, who adopted a second daughter from China, Maya, in 2005. "Not knowing who her birth parents are, not knowing why. Every time I have to say 'I don't know,' it reinforces a problem for her," she said. "The frustration is I don't feel that I can emphasize what I do know because what I do know isn't necessarily true."
It's no secret that many of the healthy babies -- most of them girls -- who turn up in Chinese orphanages are there because of China's one-child policy. The assumption has long been that parents relinquished their daughters because they couldn't afford the penalty, or hoped to later bear a son in a country with a preference for boys. But over the last several years, numerous reports have revealed that kidnapping, coercion, fraud, and money have also played a role in how some of these children ended up in orphanages.
The latest revelations are truly shocking. For the first time, Chinese families have come forward in the American press to tell harrowing tales of how their children were kidnapped by government officials and sold without their knowledge or consent to orphanages for international adoption. Family planning officials trekked into rural villages and plucked babies from their homes, snatching them from their mothers' arms and selling them for a handsome sum.
For American parents, the chilling news is one more reminder that the official story they've been handed about their child may not be the real one. And they're left with a very dark alternative to ponder. In this case, they're left to wonder if their child's birth parents did not willingly relinquish an unwanted child, but are instead grieving for a stolen one.
"Stone silence would be one way to describe the majority of families. They don't know how to respond," said Brian Stuy, whose organization, Research-China.org, researches the family histories of adoptees. He has three adopted daughters from China.
China is by far the most popular country parents go to when trying to adopt internationally. In the last five years, Americans have adopted nearly 31,000 children from China. As demand increases for Chinese babies, so too does the possibility of corruption. The United States continues to support adoption from China, even while it has banned adoptions from countries like Cambodia, Vietnam, and Guatemala because of reports of trafficking and corruption.
A 2005 congressional report found that trafficking of women and children is "pervasive" in China, and many of the infants and young children were kidnapped for adoption. According to the report, 250,000 women and children were sold in China during 2003.
"To assume that these kind of stories are rare defies an understanding of the Chinese government's goals and objectives," Research-China.org's Stuy said. Corruption and trafficking "is much more widespread than what people would like to believe."
But many parents who adopt internationally don't have a deep understanding of Chinese culture and politics. They put their trust in international adoption agencies and Chinese orphanages, assuming both are reputable. Many parents don't want to ask too many questions for fear they'll lose any chance to adopt the child, especially after they've been matched with a baby and bonded over photographs.
"We, as adoptive parents, believed our adoptive agencies when they told us the adoption system was a clean one, and we naively believed that and didn't check further," said Dr. Jane Liedtke, founder of Our Chinese Daughters Foundation, an organization that encourages adoptive parents to learn about Chinese cultural history. She adopted her daughter from China in 1994. She encourages parents to press the agencies and the orphanages to tell them a fuller story before they bring their new child home.
Seymore, who lives in Texas, has begun to search for her daughters' birth parents. In 2007, they returned to China and visited the site where Zoe was allegedly abandoned and the hospital where Maya was found. Seymore suspected that Maya was born inside the hospital, not left at the entrance as she'd been told, but when she pressed hospital officials for birth records, they were silent. She hopes that she might eventually be able to uncover more clues, whatever they are, about her daughters.
"Obviously the worst-case scenario is that our kids were stolen," said Seymore. "But if we know, we can deal with it. It is that absence of information that makes you wonder and makes you worry."

METAIRIE, La. -- The New Orleans Saints wrapped up their off-season program after their final four days of organized team activities -- one of which was used on a paintball outing with the purpose of building team chemistry.
With the last workout on Thursday, the Saints went their separate ways, although most of them will continue to work out on their own over the next five weeks in preparation for the start of training camp on July 24.
Saints coach Sean Payton said Thursday that the players will report to their Metairie training facility on July 23 for a chartered flight to their new training camp site at The Greenbrier Resort in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia.
The players will have their conditioning tests on July 24 and get on the practice field for the first time the next day. They will spend about three weeks in West Virginia, breaking camp on Aug. 14 -- the day before their second exhibition game.
Because he couldn't work out with his new team this spring with classes still in session at Oregon State, wide receiver Brandin Cooks spent the better part of this week trying to catch up.
Among other things the first-round draft pick had to do: introduce himself to quarterback Drew Brees after Cooks was only able to take part in a three-day rookie minicamp in mid-May.
On Thursday, Cooks spent several minutes after practice working with Brees, who'll also work one-on-one with him in San Diego over the next few weeks to help get him up to speed on the Saints' offense.
"I just saw Drew in a corner (of the locker room), and I didn't know whether to go up and shake his hand ... or wait for meetings," Cooks said after Thursday's OTA. "But you're a grown man, so you have to go to work."
After losing outside linebacker Victor Butler to a knee injury in last year's OTAs, the Saints were relatively injury-free this off-season, although three players were noticeably absent in the workouts open to media.
Butler tore his ACL last June, right before the team was scheduled to begin a five-week break before training camp and was out for the season.
This year, free safety Jairus Byrd (back), wide receiver Joe Morgan (knee) and nose tackle John Jenkins (torn pectoral muscle) all missed OTAs and full-squad minicamp while rehabbing. But all should be ready to go by training camp.
When training camp begins in late July, the Saints hope to have a competitive kicking duel between veteran Shayne Graham and first-year pro Derek Dimke.
Graham was signed late last season when Garrett Hartley was released and was re-signed to a one-year contract in February. Dimke, who had a tryout with the Saints at midseason when Hartley initially struggled, was signed to a futures contract in January.
On the last day of off-season workouts, both kickers were given opportunities from 33, 39 and 45 yards out. Dimke made all three of his kicks, but Graham sandwiched two makes around a wide-right miss from 39 yards.
NOTES: Saints owner Tom Benson will be part of an eight-member class that will be enshrined into the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame during a gala banquet Saturday night in Natchitoches, Louisiana. ... The banquet and official induction ceremony will cap a three-day Hall of Fame celebration that kicked off Thursday honoring Benson, who also owns the NBA's New Orleans Pelicans. Benson was voted into the Hall by a 30-member selection committee from the sponsoring Louisiana Sports Writers Association. The panel considered 114 nominees from 26 different sport categories on a 24-page ballot.

Ed Kilgore watches the Virginia Republican Party march off the cliff, adopting an unusual nominating process that would have guaranteed that the relatively moderate Rep. Tom Davis stood no chance of becoming the party's Senate nominee, thus pushing Davis to bow out of the race. Now I suppose from a conservative point of view you could point out that Davis probably would have lost to super-popular Mark Warner anyway, but considering that Virginia was a solidly Republican state as recently as two or three years ago it's pretty absurd for the GOP to be essentially conceding a Senate seat there, leaving the DSCC free to spend its money against Republican incumbents in Maine, Oregon, Minnesota, etc.

Pop-Tarts to Gold Fish: 7 Snack Foods to Make at Home
A friend of mine recently asked for help brainstorming some good DIY junk food ideas for a party she's going to in a few weeks. We had so much fun finding recipes for things like homemade snickers, oreos, and pop-tarts that I just had to share! Have you ever tried making anything like this at home?
• Homemade Pop-Tarts from Joanne Chang's Flour Bakery - These have been hanging out on my list ever since we first posted about them last year.
• Homemade Mallomars from The Kitchn - A bit labor intensive to make these, but so very worth it.
• Cheddar Crackers from Home Cooking in Montana - We didn't believe we could make a Gold Fish-esque cracker at home until we tried these.
• Homemade Candy Bars from Chow.com - Peanut butter cups, snickers bars, almond joys, twix...hoooo boy!
• Vanilla Snack Cakes from King Arthur Flour - These are your basic Twinkies, but probably several orders of magnitude better.
• Homemade Oreos from Smitten Kitchen - So cute! All you need is a glass of milk.
• Deliciously Dandy Ding Dongs from Tasty Kitchen - These are always a winner in my book.
Any others that you've made at home? Or wish you could make at home?!

This is a question only related by coming from a package but does anybody have a from scratch recipe for date bars like the ones from Duncan Hines in a box, now gone from the shelves?
I've made homemade Hostess Chocodiles and Sno-Balls and tons of "homemade take out" like eggrolls etc
So much fun!
I think the date bar mix was from Betty Crocker. (I miss that mix!) There are several recipes on-line for approximating them- but I haven't tried any so I can't recommend one in particular. Good luck!

Pre-Spring Break Vacation
So its almost time for Sring Break season to start; Since we are not too big on crowds, we decided to head out before the whole world rushes to Florida's beautiful beaches. I've been wanting to try Panama City for a long time, however due to the low temperatures we decided to head to south Florida. South Florida has stayed amazingly warm during these cold weeks that we've had in the Central Florida area. So why not South Florida to warm up and hit the beach? We have Ft. Lauderdale which is such a beatiful area with and so rich with history. This is perfect weather to head south. The temperature in the Ft. Lauderdale area will stay in the mid to low 70's during our trip, so it will be perfect to spend a nice day at the beach. We can bring out the shorts and t-shirts again, leave the jackets at home. We might bring a windbreaker jacket just in case it gets a bit windy during the night time walks on the beach.
There is however no better feeling than sitting at the balcony with some Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra in the background while you cuddle under the moonlight and watch the beatiful waves with the nice ocean breeze. Talk about a perfect post-valentines day adventure. This trip is sure to keep that fire alive between your partner and you. If the kids decide to come along, remember there are plenty of kid friendly activities around the area. Some of the hotels in the area have video game rentals available. So you could always keep the valcony door open and enjoy a night of "Rock Band" with the family. Dad's are normally best with guitars or drums lol.
Once we arrived to our hotel, we immediately drop off our bags, kicked off the shoes headed down for the beach. The water was actually warm, so we decided to stay at the beach for a while. The wife decided to stay at the beach and tan while I headed back into the room to get the a few drinks and our Ipod's. Relaxing by the beach is an unique feeling, it's so relaxing that you could sleep for days. We had dinner reservations for later that night so we stayed away from the alcoholic drinks down by the beach. Ft. Lauderdale has many nice restaurants and the majority have a very nice wine selection. About half an hour later we felt was enough tanning, we went to the pool for a bit, they had a basketball hoop right by the pool. We met a another couple by the pool and started a pool basketball game with them, after about fifteen minutes of play we came up a few points short of swimming away with a win. It was a lot of fun, during the game we found out that the couple was there on their honeymoon. They were from Colorado and had met in Ft. Lauderdale during a school trip a few years back, John(the husband) was down with his friends for an early start for spring break and Lisa(the wife) was there with the school trip, they met by the pool at the same hotel and 3yrs later they felt it would be romantic to have their honeymoon where they shared their first kiss.
This area is so wonderful, full of nice and friendly people. The tourists are all so excited to have a good time, everyone is just in a very pleasant mood the entire time. The wife and I ended up not going out for dinner, instead we had take out from one of the local restaurants and came back to enjoy it in our valcony with the beatiful moonlight and some scented candles(her idea). The remaining days of the vacation we spent down by the beach enjoying our youth.

At the end of June we posted a story (with several links) about a click fraud case filed by Click Defense against Google, we even have a copy of the complaint. Almost six months to the day later, the Reuters story, Google click fraud plaintiff gets 'cold feet' reports that Click Defense was "seeking to withdraw" as lead plaintiff in the case so they can focus on their Ft. Collins, Colorado based business.
The article goes on to say that the company, even though it doesn't want to be lead plaintiff, still wants to be part of the case.
"We are only withdrawing as a representative plaintiff," Click Defense Chief Executive Scott Boyenger said in a statement, adding that the company was doing so in order to focus on its business as a provider of technology used to detect "click fraud" in online-advertising campaigns.
Last week, AIT, an internet service provider has taken over as lead plaintiff. Their company web site is full of links to report click fraud. One link reads, "Click Fraud is Evil. Report Click Fraud Here."
"(Click Defense) started down the road and got cold feet, and we are jumping in their stead," Jay O'Dell, a sales executive at AIT, told Reuters by phone.
A hearing to certify the case is currently set for May, 2006.
The Fayetteville(NC) Observer has more on the case in the story, AIT sues Google. Fayetteville is where AIT is based.

URL: http://www.entrepreneur.com/answer/221091It really depends on what kind of business you want to start. If you're running a home-based service business where you're making the sales and doing the work, you may not need any staff at all except for a freelance bookkeeper. However, as your business starts to grow, you're probably going to need to hire sales and customer service staff as well as technical people who can help you deliver the service or make the product. My advice is to try to hold off as long as you can on hiring full-time employees. The more you can do with freelancers and independent contractors, the more you'll save on taxes and benefits and the longer you'll be able to save on rent by working from home.

Sammy Watkins
Wide Receiver, Clemson University
Since Watkins' high school days as a receiver in South Fort Myers, Florida, the 6'1″, 205-pound Clemson wide out has been used to being the top prospect year in and year out. As a wide out in Florida, Watkins amassed 133 catches for 2,997 yards and 36 career touchdowns, absolutely obliterating county receiving records. In his freshman season at Clemson, Watkins showed recruiters and college skeptics what he was all about, catching 82 passes for 1,219 yards and 12 touchdowns to go along with his 231 rushing yards on 32 carries and 826 return yards and one touchdown on 33 kick-off returns (average of 25 yards per return). While Watkins Sophomore season wasn't as grand (708 yards and three touchdowns on 57 receptions), he had a stupendous comeback season, catching 101 passes for 1,464 yards (ranked 5th in the nation) and 12 touchdowns (tied for 10th-most in the nation) in 2013. One of Watkins' most memorable performances came in the Orange Bowl against former #2 Ohio State when Watkins caught 16 Taj Boyd passes for 227 yards and 2 touchdowns in a nail-biting 40-35 Clemson win.
When looking at Watkins and trying to predict where he'll be best in this offense, we can make an assumption that his skill set will take him far. Where he is strongest is his route-running and ability to get open in the passing game. While he may not be a physical receiver like Mike Evans of Texas A&M, he has terrific footwork ad can use his quick acceleration to get space from defensive backs. Another key characteristic for Watkins is his versatility. As demonstrated by his Freshman season, Watkins has shown to be dangerous not only on the receiving side of the ball, but also the running and return side of the ball as well. If the Lions do end up going with Watkins as the #10 overall pick in the draft, I can see him playing a huge role in this offense, returning kick-offs and perhaps acting as a receiver-runner with some jet sweep runs. Some may look at this pick and think, "this is a horrible pick, Lions need to look at their defense." Although defense is a huge concern, I believe that one of the reasons the Lions struggled this season was because of their receiving corps. Other than the league's best receiver Calvin Johnson, the Lions don't have any other vertical threats in the passing game. Tight ends Brandon Pettigrew and Joeseph Fauria are sure-handed, sure, but they don't have the ability to go for huge games receiving, only huge games around the red zone. The Lions have a dangerous running game with Reggie Bush and Joique Bell, however I think by adding another receiver in Watkins the Lions offense could be one of the most dangerous in the NFC, even the NFL for that matter.

Covetable New England Kitchens
In honor of kitchen and bath month, we combed the archives for some of our favorite kitchens from New England house tours. This selection represents what many of us love about New England design — that ineffable mix of past and present, city and country, land and sea.
From a vintage farmhouse to a chic pied-a-terre to an industrial loft, New England houses mirror the unique character and diversity of their inhabitants. They remind us how fortunate we are to live in an area with such a rich architectural history, while inviting us to creatively adapt our spaces for contemporary life.

Oh, #4 is to die for! I'd put some more modern chairs at the table, but the overall space is great. #2 is great too.
I am filled with longing ....
If these pictures are from house tours, can we get links directly to them? I'd love to check out more pics from these homes.
Please disregard my last comment. I just saw the hyperlink below each picture..duh!
really love 5-10... ahh per chance to dream...
LOVE the color scheme in Chris & Heather's kitchen. Sooooo lovely and soothing.
Love #10 and I remember that lovely home tour, that stove is in a very contemporary kitchen.
love that gold tile in Chris & Heather's kitchen!
Paradiselost: Although my kitchen is the one featured (#1) in this piece, I agree with you whole heartedly. That is why when we moved in, all we did was paint and enlarge the window for light and yes we did get that backsplash and counter for some sparkle to get us through the long New England winters. Our idea of having a nice space is for sunlight and having a calming atmosphere. That's why we got a kitchen cart from Ikea rather than gut the kitchen and do the grand island sort of thing. Some of us are not about the kitchen redo as a status thing but so that we can live in a house that doesn't feel like a depressing cave! Function and psychological health is #1!
Paradiselost: Well, then, why are you here?
Some of us like to dream about the rooms we spend a large portion of our lives in being pleasing, functional, beautiful spaces. Mine currently are not, so please allow me my fantasy. Thank you.
Interesting comments from someone who once lived in a loft with twelve foot ceilings and stayed in the Beacon Hotel.
While the opening "the whole kitchen as object thing really bugs me" could seem overly judgmental of the people whose kitchens were pictured...I think talking about one's own philosophy/psychology of these things is perfect for a site like this.
It also makes sense to question cultural trends (so, not fingerpointing at individual remodelers) in light of the kitchen and bathroom as the sites of all the water usage and much of the energy usage of the home. In other words, could that second sink or last 6 linear feet of counter/cabinet space unwittingly contribute to practices opposed to what the homeowner is trying to accomplish by doing other environmentally-friendly things. etc. in his or her life.
Considering the (to me, justified) questioning about gadgets one could use to add another ten gallons to one's bathtub in another post, this seems a potentially similar discussion.
My kitchen consists of an electric kettle, a single induction burner, a microwave and ricecooker (in which I can steam, including cakes). The cabinets are the original Dade County pine from 1957, and the countertops and backsplash are the 4x4 ivory matte tiles with slightly darker grout that the previous homeowner, now deceased, installed before he couldn't do any more DIY, and showed off as his favorite part of his remodel when I first saw the house. Aesthetically, not loving them, but I see the man's hands and face, standing in the same spaces that I stand in and still want that. The fridge is a smallish Haier that is as energy-efficient as the sporty European super-efficient ones, but I eye it when I notice for days on end that it is hardly full, and believe when it goes, that I might consider a solar one, if any...
Since my idea of my dream bathroom remodel right now is a humanure set up (the low-tech composter :) which I completely understand is not practical for everyone or apt bldgs, but would work in my setup, it's possibly best to dismiss me as a nutcase :)

Boeing Confident on C-17 Future; Pitching New Version
Continuing production of the C-17 Globemaster airlifter into the next decade now seems assured. Boeing officials are quietly confident that the U.S. Congress will add another 15 of these airplanes to the Fiscal Year 2010 budget, following similar action for FY09. The company also expects "at least 15 more international orders," according to Dave Bowman, until recently Boeing's v-p and general manager for mobility systems. The international total includes two or three for Qatar, confirmed recently, and two or three for NATO. "We expect to get the last few signatures on the NATO MoU in the next two months from Italy, Poland and Romania," another Boeing official told AIN. "The Qatar order will prompt other Middle East countries to buy the C-17," he claimed.
Moreover, Boeing is pitching a new version designated C-17B for the joint future theater lift (JFTL) requirement that was issued recently by the U.S. Air Force. This envisions a new design that would enter service in 2020 to carry the U.S. Army's future combat system (FCS) of armored vehicles. Fifteen brigades are scheduled to be equipped with FCS, and Bowman noted that the first of these should be operational in 2015, five years before the JFTL airplane. Further, the FCS vehicles are 100-percent roll-on, roll-off, and cannot be carried properly by side-loading freighters, such as the KC-10, future KC-X or chartered commercial equivalents. Boeing's answer is to equip the C-17 with increased thrust; modified flaps for slower and steeper descents; and additional centerline landing gear to provide better traction on unprepared landing strips. "The C-17B could meet 80 percent of the JFTL requirement for only 10 to 20 percent of the development cost and be available in 2015," said Bowman.

...and every single one is gonna be like climbing over boulders to the summit.
With hail the size of golfballs, and not having the sense to turn around and stumble down the mountain. And the black clouds boiling just past the summit, which you can see beyond Mt. Massive, for example.
It's nice that I can speak nicely of rehab on my days off. When I'm here, I can't. I'm cranky about having to go to work from the moment I wake up and notice that my bedroom light is dimming. As always, I like my patients. I spent good time with all four. Everybody is sleeping, pain-free (as far as the snoring tells me), properly anticoagulated (strokes, THAs and TKAs), have happily percolating GI tracts, are voiding adequate amounts, and the two with stage 1 sores are being flipped q2...and a few have specimens in petri dishes to see if anything grows.
It's my colleague who isn't managing the geriatric COPD'er with the new small bowel obstruction...the woman who has been wailing and gnashing her teeth for (Jo looks at clock) nine solid hours so far.
Snippets from a real conversations....
The players:
RN of six years experience, who took this job "because it was babysitting"
Other RN: "She might need an NG tube."
Me (who, at 0200, is already reading pulp fiction being done with everything I can think of to do): "Mmm. Might."
Other RN: "Would you like to practice putting an NG in?"
Me, looking up and she's avoiding looking at me: "Considering I'm the only nurse who's put one in this year, yes, I can do it for you if you don't feel comfortable doing so yourself, OtherRN."
Other RN doesn't reply. I go back to my book.
Other RN gets the countremand order to not place it, anyway. Other RN: "I don't know why Dr. K doesn't want one when Dr. B does."
Me: "Mmmmummmummm. (I don't know.) Maybe cos she's not vomiting and she pooped today and he's coming to see her early in the morning and the Xray was preliminary and he didn't look at it himself cos he was home asleep ...and he maybe figures she's NPO now. Dunno. An NG's gonna slurp up gastric juice, it wouldn't resolve an obstruction or ileus just by having suction, would it?" I wasn't being sarcastic with her. I genuinely don't know why no NG tonight. I'm not a gastroenterologist. Maybe I'd sink one, maybe I wouldn't. Not a GI nurse, either. I don't know these things, but apparently OtherRN is having a hard time thinking that through.
....But might it have occurred to her, since the woman has been moaning and crying for (Jo looks at clock) TEN hours, to get the poor thing something for pain?
Am I just mean? I feel mean.
She called the nursing supervisor to start a peripheral IV. Before attempting it herself, and before saying, "Hey Jo, would you look at her veins?" The woman might be elderly, but she had pipes. A drunken monkey could've found a vein and poked it.
Twelve more shifts. The vast majority of them with this nurse, too.
And I'm already dreading tomorrow, where we send two patients home and I'll have THREE tomorrow night. At least there's a NOC magnet meeting (yes, we're trying to join the club) to give me something to do for an hour. Gah.
It's only 5....
p.s. Of COURSE I *cough* suggested she ask the MD for more pain meds. Reply? "But I just gave her (insert mild narc here)." gah...

It's the end of November, you guys! One more month until this year ends and the whole cycle begins again.
It's the last day of my monthly Giveaway today, so if you haven't yet, sign up to win a SIGNED copy of YA Author Gretchen McNeil's POSSESS here.
My life has been crazy lately, so I haven't been able to visit your lovely blogs and leave little love notes. My best friend Yv and her husband Paul visited from Australia for two weeks. I took a few days off during Thanksgiving week to play tour guide. Too bad I had to work. I would've loved to take them out every day. My super friends Maiko and Lena helped take my guests around, though, and their own friends came to the rescue as well, so they were never bored during their stay.
I hadn't seen Yv in 7 years, so we had way too much fun catching up. This meant a lot of late nights and coming into work like a zombie. It was so worth it though!
Although my guests have left, the craziness of my schedule still hasn't ebbed. Tomorrow, December 1st, I'll be flying off to Japan for the first time. I'm so excited, and so NOT ready! This whole week at work has been a nightmare, as I have to rush everything and finish all my month end reports in two days, instead of the usual one week. I haven't even packed for the trip yet—(which is saying something, since I'm usually packed for a trip a week before.)
I'll be in Japan for 10 days soaking up the sights before I return home to tons of chores and paperwork and the usual Holiday rush.
–Which is why I'll be taking a bloggy break this December.
I'll announce the winner of my Possess Giveaway on December 3rd, though, so drop by to see if you've won.
That's it for now. Congrats to all of you who survived Nanowrimo! See you when I get back!
