Good lord Robert, and I thought us conservatives were paranoid. No one gives two figs about quelling the rights of the poor downtrodden gay people. What they are afraid of is change, any change. Most people can't handle when the cable company alters the channel line up so they can't find Dancing with the Stars anymore. Something like gay marriage, that terrifies them. They fear a gay teacher will somehow 'recruit' their kids to the gay lifestyle, like its some kind of club. I'm pragmatic. Eventually gay people will be treated to all the good and bad the federal government can heap upon them, mostly bad, I assure you. Then watch them complain.

Although those encouraging firsts resulted in only four more wins than the team had in 2010, the Royals run differential told a different story. They were outscored by only 32 runs all year, which gave them the second-best differential in the American League Central behind the Detroit Tigers. That was the closest the Royals have been to breaking even since 1994.
But the 2011 Royals accomplished something even more significant that also hasn't been seen in Kansas City since 1994: Posting a positive run differential in blowouts, defined as games decided by five or more runs. A common misconception among the baseball community is that good teams win close games. In fact, the opposite is true. Good teams rarely have to worry about one-run decisions -- which are a function of luck and managerial decisions -- because they win so many blowouts.
The 2011 Royals outscored their opponents 235-228 and went 19-19 in such games. The plus-seven isn't as impressive until the team's recent history in that category is considered. The statistics in the table below represent the team's performance in blowout games since 1994. Thanks to Baseball-Reference.com for the data.
The bottom line is that unlike previous seasons, the 2011 Royals were not on the wrong side of a drubbing very often. Of course, there was the 19-1 loss to the Indians on May 16, a negative-18 that makes the Royals being in the black that much more impressive. Such a turnaround cannot be ignored and probably should be taken as reason to believe the team will take another step in 2012.
Despite losing more than 90 games for the seventh time in eight seasons, the Royals appeared to make real progress in 2011. Going forward, the organization can look forward to being on the right side of those lopsided contests more often than not.

Arizona slugger Paul Goldschmidt has become quite the nemesis of both Tim Lincecum and Giant fans alike. In 33 career games against the orange and black, Goldschmidt has an eye-popping 24 RBI's to go along with 7 round trippers, all of that on top of a .297 average. It's three more homeruns and five more RBI than he has against any team (that other team being the Colorado Rockies) and those two numbers are nothing close to the 4 home runs and 13 RBI he has against the San Diego Padres, whom he holds his third best career numbers against.
Clearly, Giant fans have good reason to despise Goldschmidt on the diamond, but fans of Arizona might be catching similar feelings for the Giants' Brandon Belt. Brandon Belt? Yes, Brandon Belt.
Despite what many would consider a slow start to his career, Belt has punished the Diamondbacks. After going 5 of 26 with zero RBI's during his yo-yo shortened 2011 season, Belt has went 22 of 64 against the Snakes, good for a .343 average. In addition, he's added 17 RBI along with 4 homers in those 20 games. Needless to say, while Goldschmidt might be a thorn in the side of Giant fans, Belt is quickly earning that same reputation in the NL West desert.

A group of good friends formed a flag football team this past fall, known in the Town of Oyster Bay as the Howitt Cowboys, under the Coaching of Wally Seyfert, and played in Town of Oyster Bay's Long Island Flag Football League.
They went undefeated the entire fall season, won every playoff game against teams from all over Nassau County and went on to win the Championship Game on Dec. 27 with the score of 13-0, naming them Town of Oyster Bay Long Island Flag Football Champions. Congratulations to all the boys! They had an awesome season!
Former members of the Over The Hill Gang softball league, who played for the Barboy team, held their annual Christmas breakfast on Dec. 12 at Bollinger's Restaurant in Farmingdale.
While memories may have faded regarding on-the-field exploits, the players' friendship has endured. Often referred to as the team of the '80 s, Barboy won six league championships between 1979 and 1986. Although no individual remains active in league play, most still participate in league activities and fund raisers.
With the scent of snow in the air, but fortunately several hours before it hit the ground in the big Dec. 19 snowstorm, several athletes from Farmingdale created a storm of their own with their award-winning performances in the 22nd Annual Carter, DeLuca, Farrell & Schmidt Ho Ho Ho Holiday 5 Kilometer Run through the streets of Bethpage.
Top finisher from Farmingdale was 27-year-old David Bogh, who crossed the finish line at the John F. Kennedy Middle School on Broadway in Bethpage in 18 minutes, 17 seconds, scoring seventh place overall and third in the highly competitive 25-29 age group.
Two determined Farmingdale ladies did especially well in the Athena Weight Division. Colleen Gardner, a 32-year-old who took first place honors in the Athena 160-pound plus weight division, finished with a time of 26 minutes, 22 seconds, and 27-year-old Kate Raab scored third in that same division with a time of 28:58.
The Farmingdale Boys Swimming and Diving Team won three meets last week. Coached by Ken Ilchuk and Randy Corcoran, the Dalers beat a small and undermanned Westbury team 51-35.
The Town of Oyster Bay will host the Supervisor's College Hockey Challenge, a NCAA Division 1 College Hockey Showdown, at the Town of Oyster Ice Skating Center on Stewart Avenue, Bethpage on Saturday, Jan. 9, at 8 p.m.
The Farmingdale School District would like to congratulate Pete Cerrone on winning his 450th game as the head coach of the Dalers Varsity Girls Basketball team. This milestone has given him the most wins out of any other girls basketball head coach in Nassau County History. His overall record stands at 450 wins and 147 losses. That record also includes winning five Nassau County championships and two Long Island championships.
Every year Coach Macchia's Farmingdale High School Boys Cross Country Team turns out to be a unique group of teammates and students.
Oyster Bay Town Councilman Chris J. Coschignano announces that registration for the town's popular free Mall Walking Program is now open.
The Farmingdale School District would like to congratulate the seniors of the boys cross country team who received honors for their incredible athletic performance this past season.
The Farmingdale Hawks completed their 2009 season with two teams, the 10's & 11's, completing championship seasons at Mitchell Field in Uniondale. The 11-year-old Hawks survived an early scare as the Bellmore Braves jumped out to a 6-0 lead on their first drive after turning the Farmingdale over on downs to start the game. The Hawk defense, not happy about giving up the drive, responded quickly with a lot of pressure as Myles Mills blocked the PAT. As is so often the case, the missed extra point would loom large.

Sailor Payne Commission for Bridgechan
Sailor Payne is basically the evil version of Elegant Sailor Lolita that's why they have the same face.
I can't believe I finished this, for some reason it took me so long to figure out some details, it exhausted me but it makes me happy Bridgechan liked it so much! I really appreciate the commissioners I've, they keep on bringing me this amazing characters to draw, I'm so grateful I keep adding crazy details and free bgs xD I kinda seize the time to use it as some sort of improvement, so sometimes commissions take longer than expected. In this case I sent her 2 slightly different versions, one to fit the rest of the commissions I did for her and the other to fit more into the character.

A Night in Labor and Delivery
A Night in Labor and Delivery
This week I have developed a mild puups rash that 2% Coal Tar and 3% Saclyc Acid Psoriases creams seem to be helping to keep in check. And I'm starting to think a tad more about delivery since this is the last week of December and we are entering the New Year soon.
I chatted with a midwife/doula for charitable reasons and they gave me free advice/ information about the legality of a few of the "labor and delivery" issues. This information was important for me to know as far as how things work between the various departments at the hospital and my OB. I want what is best for my baby... and occasionally you have to wonder if some of these medical personell are paying attention or just going through the motion. And then when you speak up to be an advocate for your baby, they get testy.
I went to a perinatology appointment this week so I could keep my regular OB and in hopes that I'd get the other doctor. Nope... got the same one. But on the plus side, the ultrasound tech gave us information about our own pregnancy this time. The baby is breech, facing backwards, and I had slightly low water. She has a heart defect so she may be breech for that reason according to information I have read up on. Plus, I feel her move kind of transverse lately in the past few weeks and I used to feel her flip all the way around so I know she is like that.
The perinatolgist decided to do a Non-Stress Test and her heart had two occasions of deceleration. So they sent me to the hospitals Labor and Delivery - Antepartum department to have bags of water pumped in to me and the baby's heart rate monitered.
My water had been at a 6 but was at a 10 after 24 hrs of water being pumped in to me and all of that monitoring showed my daughter having those heart decelerations a few other times randomly also.
After much reviewing and a second ultrasound, the medical community decided to let me go home but I am officially on bed rest.
All of Teagans organs look good. The ultrasound techs can still see the VSD very well. She is a really good mover and just as hyper as our firstborn apparently. But once in a while, her heart decelerates. They are not 100% certain that is necessarily the heart defect or if its her twirling around and the umbilical cord gets slightly pinched or something. However on both ultrasounds the umbilical cord looks awesome so its not damaged.
She would never be still on either ultrasound and during the heart rate monitoring, they could hear her turning all the time and a few times had to chase her around the belly because she went kind of transverse and hid her heart rate... she didn't like the monitors poking her as they tie those on tight.
We all feel comfortable enough with me chilling at home but I am on official bed rest until delivery. Tonight I went and had the oil changed in the car, went to the store to grab a few last minute items, and tomorrow I am going to have the car shampoo'd so we can put the infant carrier in it. Also this weekend, I think is a good time to wash all laundry with the letter N on it!
Teagans current stats are in the 44% for 35 weeks, 5 lbs 9 ounces, a breech bouncy monkey that despite her VSD, is pretty active and silly.
Member Comments About this Blog Entry
"Thanks for the update. Be sure to do those kick counts and if you notice a decrease in activity go back in. I had a similar deceleration in heart beats with my first and the doctor sent me home after monitoring telling me I wasn't eating enough and that if I wasn't feeling the baby move it was in my head. I didn't feel the baby move and in my gut I knew I should've gone back in the next day but I didn't want to be paranoid and so I waited the two days - by then my precious little girl was gone. ..."
"Aiming for VBAC if by week 40 but may end up having to do a c-section if its an emergency. So the goal now is to keep my water up and keep eye on the baby to make certain she is doing well. Heart defect babies do better being born naturally anyways because of the epidural can mess with them a tad sometimes so the more natural and without drugs the better. Of course, at a certain point, delivery is imminent and might even be necessary. I'm trying not to let the stress get to me. Easier said than ..."
"What a great update. You are handling the extra stress much better than I ;) you have to feel pretty good that even with the VSD, it sounds like you have a healthy little stinker in there! Good luck with the last minute things-- hopefully by being done, they will bring some relief. Are they sure you are coming early? Do you u have a CS planned? I don't know anything about VSD and how it affects delivery."

Last year I bought some green taffeta and made a top of it. Some weeks agao I decided to make my version of Michelle of the rest of the fabric. Now I can wear the top and the skirt together, then it looks like a dress. (I know the beige-colored top is not the best combination to the skirt but I havn't had a better one.)

Recommendations for a late soybean harvest
According to the United States Department of Agriculture National Agricultural Statistics Service, nearly 15 percent of the Michigan soybean crop was still in the field as of Tuesday, Nov. 12, 2013. Given the calendar date and the wet soil conditions occurring across the state, harvesting these last fields may be a challenge for producers. The following recommendations from Michigan State University Extension will help producers overcome these challenges.
Try to wait until the soil has dried enough to support the combine. Avoid cutting deep ruts like those shown in the picture as these will fill with water and delay future field operations. Soil compaction associated with wet harvest conditions can also reduce crop yields for several years.
The plants will be tough and difficult to cut, so it is critical to have the cutter bar in top condition. All knife sections should be sharp and tight and all guards should be properly aligned to ensure optimum cutting. The gap between the sickle and the hold downs should be about the thickness of a business card. Reducing your ground speed will also improve cutting and provide more uniform feeding into the combine.
The moisture content of the seed will also be high. Soybeans can be harvested as long as the moisture is 20 percent or below. Remember that moisture testers tend to underestimate the moisture content of immature or high moisture beans. Consider adding 1.5 percent to moisture tester readings to compensate for this.
Threshing and cleaning high moisture soybeans is challenging. Achieving uniform feeding and keeping the threshing cylinder/rotor full are the first steps to improving threshing. Draper heads will improve the uniformity of feeding. If threshing is not satisfactory, try reducing the concave clearance first. This may increase plugging problems at the cylinder/rotor if the straw is tough. If plugging is a problem or unacceptable threshing occurs, increase the speed of the cylinder or rotor. Make incremental adjustments and check threshing performance and grain quality after each adjustment. It can be a balancing act to find the correct cylinder/rotor speed and concave clearance settings that provide acceptable threshing without causing excessive split or crushed beans.
I usually encourage producers to check for gathering losses at the head because under normal conditions, 80 percent of all harvest losses occur at the head. However, when harvesting soybeans this late, the tough stems and pods and softer seed will probably increase threshing and cleaning losses, so checking your losses behind the combine becomes equally important. For every four beans per square foot found on the ground, one bushel per acre of yield is lost.

I've been thinking of the insane amount of new breweries in town for a while, and I'm to the point where I think it could be ok.
The taproom idea basically creates a brewpub type business, but without the added costs of food and everything that goes with that. Just bring in a different food truck and all of a sudden you have a great place to go for a beer or two.
Now, not all these places will be able to bottle or can to sell at liquor stores, and they might not even be able to keg for other bars, but maybe a very small scale taproom is a good enough business plan. And you never know, one of these small startups could strike it big and expand into a full production brewery.
Maybe places like Indeed, Pour Decisions, Harriet, Excelsior Brewing, Lucid, and Steel Toe won't be the next Surly, but that doesn't mean they can't exist as a business, especially if they serve their neighborhood and have reasonable expectations of their growth.

What did you do this weekend? Did you attend a rally to protest the Obama administration's infringement on religious liberty? Probably not. Because even if you did go to Friday's Stand Up for Religious Freedom rally in Washington, D.C., that's not what that rally was about.
Yes, I know, it has "religious freedom" in the title, but that's a front. It's not about religious freedom; it's about contraception and the evils it has wrought on our culture. Evils like education and careers for women, bodily autonomy, and sex for pure pleasure.
At Salon, the wonderful Sarah Posner has profiled some of the people behind Friday's rally, including David Bereit, co-founder of 40 Days for Life. Here's what Bereit has to say about Griswold v. Connecticut, the Supreme Court decision that made contraception legal five decades ago:
Shortly after joining [Stop Planned Parenthood], Bereit blamed the Supreme Court decision in Griswold v. Connecticut, which ruled state bans on contraception unconstitutional, for "a tragic moral breakdown in our culture," adding, "It is time for Americans to take a long, hard look at the real legacy of the Griswold decision. Although we can't undo the consequences overnight, we can begin to take back our society one step at a time. The first step is to put an end to the destructive influence of Planned Parenthood, the organization that forced this tragedy upon our nation 40 years ago."
That's the Pill he's talking about, you guys. That tragedy, the birth control pill. And now, he's couching his fringe opposition to this hugely popular medical advance in a cry for religious freedom. Religious freedom is awesome and it's hard to argue with. Which is why it's such a great cover for opposing the Pill. As Amanda Marcotte argues, there's a real risk that with marketing like this, a fringe position like opposition to the Pill can go mainstream. They can't come right out and say that they're anti-contraception, Marcotte writes:
Instead, the strategy is to fling the phrase "religious freedom" around a lot, and use it as a pretense to get their anti-contraception messages into the conservative mainstream. No doubt the hope is they can get people more used to these ideas and eventually they'll be taken seriously in the larger mainstream. After all, this strategy worked well with "free market" libertarian ideology, which used to rightly be seen as the rantings of cranks, but now is the governing philosophy of an entire political party.
You know what's actually an affront to religious liberty? Using religious liberty as a cover for your anti-contraception views in the hope that you'll get people to take your fringe position more seriously. Especially when that fringe position that opposes a medical breakthrough that made it easier for women to go to college, have careers, enjoy sexual pleasure without the fear of pregnancy, and decide if and when they were going to become parents.
Don't be fooled, folks. This isn't about religious freedom. It's about reproductive freedom. And the stakes – politically, personally, globally – are really high.

For providers, Hurricane Arthur was a reminder to take another look at your emergency preparedness to ensure your plan is up-to-date and effective.
Long-term care facilities should have specified amounts of fuel and supplies on hand as part of a forthcoming regulation on disaster preparedness, a prominent consumer advocacy group argues.
Natural disasters and catastrophic events by definition arise unpredictably and consequently do not remain even in the back of people's minds on a consistent basis.
Long-term care facilities should have written plans for how they will track residents during evacuations, according to an updated emergency preparedness checklist from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
Emergency preparedness is an evolving issue for long-term care providers. While a recent study by the Office of the Inspector General found that most nursing homes nationwide met federal requirements for disaster plans and training, they also saw that gaps in implementing these plans still exist.
Long-term care facilities would have to meet more comprehensive emergency preparedness guidelines, under a newly proposed rule from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
As we learned during Sandy, it's essential to know where residents will be evacuated and to have protocols to account for everyone's safety. Connect with facilities in your community about where they are evacuating, so you can ensure there is adequate room.
Just as Hurricane Katrina prompted discussion about emergency preparedness in 2005, Superstorm Sandy has re-ignited talks in the senior living communities about their ability to respond to disasters. When storm surges hit New York City last October, about 6,000 people were evacuated from various healthcare facilities, including nursing homes and adult day facilities.
Don't wait until disaster strikes. Emergency plans should be updated and put to the test on a regular basis, at least annually. New hires must review the plan as part of their training.
Just say "cheese" was my first reaction when I saw the notice.
The Department of Health and Human Services announced last week that it is awarding $352 million in grant money to help healthcare providers improve disaster preparedness efforts.
Highlighting the need for emergency planning, a nursing home in Japan credits regular evacuation drills with saving its residents.
In light of the continued spread of the H1N1 virus and the approaching 2009-2010 flu season, the Department of Health and Human Services has announced the allocation of billions of dollars in influenza preparedness funding and additional vaccine purchases.
Best practices for assisting seniors and the disabled before, during and after natural or manmade disasters will be the topic of a Senate Special Committee on Aging hearing Wednesday morning. Local, state and federal officials, including LuMarie Polivka-West, MSP, senior vice president of policy for the Florida Health Care Association, will testify at the hearing. Florida long-term care officials have been among the leaders in designing policies and practices for dealing with hurricanes and other disaster scenarios. Topics will include terrorism preparedness and responses.
Future emergency planning efforts must take into account shifting demographics, particularly the growing number of frail elderly people, according to a new report.
The police officer being called a hero for halting a North Carolina shooting rampage that left seven residents and one nursing aide dead said he was just doing his job when he entered the building alone.
A 45-year-old local man with no apparent ties to the Pinelake Health and Rehabilitation Center in Carthage, NC, walked into it Sunday morning and shot 11 people. He killed seven residents and a nurse and was shot himself before being taken into custody. A responding police officer who confronted the gunman in a facility hallway, was among those shot but in good condition, officials said.
More than four days after a massive ice storm devastated much of the Northeast, nursing homes have emerged from the disaster relatively unscathed.
In stark contrast to three years ago, when the elderly, and nursing home residents in particular, were especially hard hit by Hurricane Katrina, authorities were reporting smooth evacuation processes took thousands of elderly out of harm's way.
An apparently unconscious age bias among emergency room services personnel, along with a lack of knowledge on how to care for the elderly, could be leading to a distinct lessening of care for seniors, researchers say.
Fewer than a quarter (23%) of all nursing homes have a plan for dealing with a massive flu outbreak, according to a new study. About 25% had a pandemic response as part of a broader overall disaster plan.

Yesterday we looked at a team who earned a playoff birth in the lockout-shortened 2013-'14 season and followed it up with a disappointing playoff miss this season in the New York Islanders. Today we look at a team who underachieved in a similar fashion in the Vancouver Canucks.
The Vancouver Canucks finished tied for 24th in the NHL with a record of 36-35-11, for a total of 83 points. The Canucks finished 5th of 7 teams in the Pacific Division and 12th of 14 teams in the West.
The goaltending controversy in Vancouver was finally resolved last offseason on draft day when the Canucks shocked the hockey world and dealt Cory Schneider to the Devils. Although a lot of damage was done to the relationship between Roberto Luongo and the Canucks' organization, Vancouver was set to step forward with an undisputed #1 netminder. Although many questioned the hiring of John Tortorella, the Canucks were expected to be in the mix for a playoff spot, even in a difficult Pacific Division. After all, they had the same core group going forward that was 1 win away from a Stanley Cup in 2011.
- The Canucks had the opportunity to host a Heritage Classic game against the Ottawa Senators at BC Place, bringing out over 54,000 fans. In a season in which highlights were few and far between in Vancouver, even this event came with its lows. Not only was the retractable roof closed for this "outdoor" game in Vancouver, but the Canucks blew a lead to lose the game, and Tortorella's decision to start Eddie Lack over Roberto Luongo may have been the nail-in-the-coffin for Luongo's tenure in Vancouver.
Given the lack of highs above for the Canucks, it should come as no surprise that the theme of this Canucks squad was underachieving.
- The twin scoring leaders of the Canucks, Henrik Sedin and Daniel Sedin, were the poster boys of underachievement in Vancouver this season. Each failed to collect more than 50 points. However, the theme was also evident elsewhere in the top six with Ryan Kesler collecting just 43 points in a healthy season and Alex Burrows chipping in with just 5 goals and 10 assists.
- The relationship between Roberto Luongo and the Canucks' front office was on thin ice going into the season, even with his job as the starter secure. The combination of team underachievement and Tortorella's decision to start Lack in the Heritage Classic appeared to force Vancouver's hand to deal Luongo to Florida. An organization with two franchise-calibre goalies in Luongo and Cory Schneider was now left without either.
- Although Eddie Lack showed well as the backup to Luongo, it became clear that he wasn't ready for the limelight once Roberto was dealt. In the month of March, the first month Lack was the full-time starter in Vancouver, Eddie posted a 2.98 GAA and .889 SV% in 14 starts.
- The hiring of John Tortorella appeared doomed from the get-go and skeptics of the hiring were proven correct. Tororella never lost the room, he never had it from the start. Clearly John wasn't able to get the best out of these players and the exclamation mark of his tenure came when he was suspended 15 days for his conduct after a brawl in against the Calgary Flames. The organizational problems didn't stop with Tortorella, though. Mike Gillis was also let go of his GM duties.
Things are looking bleak for the Canucks going forward. After losing both Cory Schneider, then Roberto Luongo since the summer, Vancouver is left with Eddie Lack and Jacob Markstrom as its goaltending options for next season. Neither of which appears close to being a bonafide #1. As for the skaters in Vancouver, there remains little optimism. It appears that the window has closed on the core group of forwards in Henrik and Daniel Sedin, Ryan Kessler, and Alex Burrows. Alex Edler has not quite lived up to his potential in Vancouver and the age of Kevin Bieksa seems to be catching up with him. The Canucks appear to have some decent prospects for the future, led by Bo Horvat, but it would be a shock to see this roster remain in-tact by the end of next season. It is clear that this group is on the decline.

Success After Truman
Truman's focus on educating the whole person through a well-rounded curriculum of the liberal arts and sciences prepares students for great success in any career or graduate program they pursue.
In fact, six months after graduation, 92 percent of the Class of 2012 were either employed or enrolled in graduate school. Truman alumni were working at places such as:
Other recent graduates continued their education at institutions such as:
And that's not all:
Success That Makes a Difference
In addition to developing the skills and knowledge base to lead successful careers, our students also graduate with a desire to make a difference—whether in their professional fields, communities, or world. It's why within the past five years, Truman has ranked in the top 25 of medium-size schools in the nation producing the most Peace Corps volunteers. Because of the connections they make as a part of Truman's learning community, our graduates go on to pursue fulfilling, meaningful lives of influence.

Head coach Mark Dantonio with his Michigan State players for the Green and White spring game. / Kirthmon F. Dozier/Detroit Free Press
Michigan State 2014 quarterback recruit Chris Durkin made a positive impression over the weekend at the Elite 11 regional workout in Columbus, Ohio.
The 6-foot-4, 234-pound Durkin from Youngstown, Ohio, was one of about 100 quarterbacks from 31 states in the competition.
Two things stand out about Durkin when you see the Michigan State commit in person his intense focus and his size, wrote JC Shurburtt, director of recruiting for 247Sports.com. Durkin also can throw it quite well (strong arm, accurate) and has good footwork. The sheer effort he puts forth playing the position based on evaluations in person and on film make him worthy of being the No. 14 pro-style quarterback in the 2014 class.
Josh Helmholdt, Midwest recruiting analyst for Rivals.com, recently said he has been impressed this spring with Durkins progress as an accurate passer.
Durkin ran and passed for more than 1,000 yards each as a junior at Youngstown Ursuline. He committed to MSU in March and told the Free Press at the time that he was lured in part by the Spartans increasing interest in dual-threat quarterbacks.
(Quarterbacks) coach (Brad) Salem told me theyre gonna switch up the offense a little bit and throw in some quarterback runs, Durkin said. That suits me for sure.

- This elegant wearable device gives a new meaning to the phrase "dressing smart". The Galaxy Gear connects wirelessly with your Note 3 and makes sure you have everything you need right there on your wrist and within reach. You can keep your Note 3 in your pocket or bag, and Gear will tell you when you receive a call or message. When you get a important notification on your Gear, Smart Relay brings up the full message when you open your phone. You'll have seamless communication from your Gear to your phone.
Experience new mobile communications freedoms
Samsung Galaxy Gear lets users live in the moment while staying connected to their Samsung Galaxy devices. It notifies users of incoming messages, such as calls, texts, emails and alerts, delivers a preview of those messages and creates the opportunity for users to accept or discreetly ignore those messages. When an incoming message requires more than a quick glance, users can simply pick up their Samsung Galaxy devices and the Smart Relay feature will instantly reveal the full content on the screen.
Voice operation
The built-in speaker allows users to conduct hands-free calls directly from the Gear, maintaining connections to their mobile communications without disrupting their daily routines. For example, a user leaving the grocery store, whose hands are full with shopping bags, could still make a call by speaking into the Galaxy Gear without touching the screen. Users can also draft messages, create new calendar entries, set alarms, and check the weather on the Galaxy Gear with S Voice.
Capture daily life from your wrist
In addition to enabling smart device controls, Samsung Galaxy Gear introduces several features that help users easily capture life's meaningful moments which otherwise might be missed. With the Memographer feature, a 1.9 Megapixel camera, users who are on the move or participating in physical activities can record both photos and video to create quick, visual records of important information or events from their daily lives, as well as share them on their social networks. Extending the quick-record concept, Voice Memo lets users capture important thoughts or conversations from their wrists and save those voice recordings into texts on their Samsung Galaxy devices.
A growing list of controls for favourite features
With the Galaxy Gear, users gain a wide range of favourite features that further increase the benefits of this new accessory. New security enhancement Auto Lock automatically secures the companion smartphone screen any time that Galaxy Gear is more than 1.5 meters away from the smartphone, and then unlocks the smartphone when the companion devices are near each other again. Find My Device helps users find the location of their smart devices when they have been misplaced by making them beep, illuminate and vibrate. With Samsung Galaxy Gear, users can also control the music played on their Samsung Galaxy devices. As with traditional music players, it helps users browse, play and pause songs even when their smart device is not within reach. Finally, the Galaxy Gear also works like a Pedometer to track physical activity via enhanced, built-in sensor technology. This feature systematically and automatically monitors users so they can track key personal data such as calories burned, steps taken and distance covered.

My kitty really likes this! Amazing.
posted 5 years ago
I bought this for my cat and she immediately loved it. My cat is finicky about cat toys so I was pretty amazed. It is more fun if you hold in your hand and move your hand around - this creates more unpredictability of where the laser is going to go which is more fun for my cat. I would definitely recommend this toy.
Pros: My cat loves this
Cons: Wish it had more of a range for the laser (bigger circles)

I'm so glad that I followed you :) It feels so good to finally find something beautiful and valuable to enjoy after being surrounded by real idiots the whole day 。◕‿◕。stay cool :]
Thank you, darling! It means the world to all of us. xx
I started probation a year ago and because I stopped smoking weed I actually eat now, I've gained at least fifty pounds and I literally hate myself. I want to physically hurt anyone when they tell me I'm still pretty. I don't even understand how I hated myself before when I was actually some what thin because I can't even look in the mirror now. I don't really expect a response, I just needed to say all of that to someone.
Hi darling, we're here for you, okay? I promise. And other people are there for you, too. I cannot say that I understand perfectly, as I have not been in your shoes. But as a human, as a woman, I get it to some extent. Do not fear the reflection you see in the mirror. Be proud of who you are. Although I promise you are beautiful on the exterior as well, beauty is defined by what is on the inside. And you, I promise, are a strong, intelligent, capable, kind, and loving human being. You are beautiful. xoxoo

Bold and Bald!
An impulse disorder called Trichotillomania had taken over my about 5 months ago.
Nobody understood why I would pull my own hair out, and neither do I, really.
It's involuntary.
Half of my hair was gone on one side in the matter of about 2 weeks.
I was really down about it, wouldn't leave the house, cried all the time.
Then I decided to shave my head. And I love that people tell me I'm beautiful even without hair.
I believe everybody is beautiful, going through struggles just makes us all stronger.
You are absolutely beautiful. And you know what? Hair doesn't make you you. What's in your heart, as cheesy as this sounds, makes you the incredible human being that you are. xoxo

Marketing major specific requirements
The Marketing curriculum provides students with technical marketing skills and leadership training. Opportunities exist for marketing graduates in a wide variety of organizations, including manufacturing firms, service firms, retailers, wholesalers, advertising agencies, the communications media, and government agencies. Career options include sales, advertising, retailing, brand management, logistics management, market research, purchasing management and more.
The heart of Marketing is matching supply and demand in a complex, advanced economy. Marketing consists of a sequence of activities : identifying customer needs, developing goods and services to satisfy those needs, communicating information about products to potential customers, and distributing the products to customers. In small firms, a few people must carry out all the marketing functions or activities. Large corporations, on the other hand, tend to hire people with specific potential or skills to fill more specialized job requirements.
Marketing courses are taught by faculty that have contributed original research in the field, published in the top marketing journals, and have consulted with Fortune 500 companies including Hewlett-Packard, General Motors, Kellogg, Harley-Davidson and Coors.
Your freshman through junior years will be largely confined completing the OSU baccalaureate core and the Business Core (see Requirements.) These courses are required of all Business students. Marketing courses start your junior year. Students need to review the Marketing major specific requirements. Beginning with winter 2010 all pro school applications will be for the Marketing major.
Enrichment Activities
Participating in marketing-specific "enrichment" activities enables you to expand your understanding and build your skills beyond the classroom. The Marketing Club hosts a variety of functions that put you face-to-face with potential employers and connect you with fellow students and faculty. Being active in club activities helps increase the opportunities of finding a job after graduation.

Elmo's daddy deployed to Iraq
Well he does. And the smart folks at Sesame Workshop are using Elmo and his dad (pictured here) to help young kids with deployed parents.
Sesame's educational-outreach kit Talk, Listen, Connect in Spanish and English features a DVD for families with young kids and a loved one at war. It includes a story of Elmo who prepares for his father to be deployed. Furry father-and-son agree to look at the moon each night wherever they are and say goodnight.
The goal is to help children deal with the stressful situation of having a parent deployed. More than 1 million children younger than 10 have a parent or parents on active military duty or in the reserves.
The kits are downloadable at the Sesame Workshop Website.
The second phase of Talk, Listen, Connect is expected to be unveiled April 29. It includes print materials and a new DVD, "Deployment, Homecomings, Changes" to help families who are now dealing with multiple deployments and parents returning with combat-related injuries.

DiMarzio DP216 Mo'Joe Humbucker Pickup
Joe Satriani has used the Fred(R) as his main bridge pickup for years. This year Joe asked DiMarzio for a hotter and bigger version to replace the Fred(R) in his new Ibanez guitars. The new model called the Mo' Joe(TM) is all about tone and definition. It's name says it all. It has more power than the Fred(R), but it doesn't sacrifice clarity or dynamics. Additionally...

Remember Me?
More than a one trick pony
I installed this pick up on my Ibanez RG370 nearly a year ago and I'm very pleased with the overall sound. It shines when you play from clean (in split position) to hard rock but it struggles with heavier stuff.
Recreating the pinch harmonics made famous by Satriani is no problem with the Mo' Joe. It's an overall great pick up when you don't play heavier music than Satriani.
When split it gives a clearer and warmer sound than any other bridge humbucker I've played, so I would assume players that play mainly clean also would want to try this pick up.
It clears up nicely when you roll down the volume knob on your guitar when playing through a distortion pedal. Turning the tone knob down doesn't affect the tone too drastically compared to other humbuckers and I've never experienced the Mo' Joe as muddy.
Liked about it
Great pickup both for moderate gain and clean.
Responsive and warm.
Rich harmonies.
Didn't like
Anything heavier then Metallica's self titled album will get the Mo' Joe in trouble. While it shines with hard rock and metal up to apx. this point it cannot handle anything harder. (The "Black Album" used as an example as most readers has heard this particular album).

Feel the MoJoe!
This badboy was installed in my Ibanez SZ720FM after I removed the existing Crunchlab to put in another guitar. Dimarzio says its a medium output pickup, but it's not far off from the Gravity Storm (320 vs 340 according to Dimarzio).
To my ears it sounds like an articulate PAF PRO that's on steroids. Harmonics are unreal with this pickup too. On the clean channel the tone has a mild jangle (which I attribute to the guitar more so than the pickup) which gives it some character.
I'm really wanting to get this wired up to a push/pull pot to see how close it comes to a strat/tele sound. Excellent choice if you play hard rock and/or 80's metal.
Liked about it
-Harmonics for days
-Priced cheaper when purchased as a set with the PAF Joe
Didn't like
-Only offered in black when purchased as a set with the PAF Joe.

Atlanta Initiative Aims to Stamp Out Child Prostitution
Child sexual exploitation is a topic few people can stomach, but unfortunately, adolescent girls are being commercially exploited for sexual purposes here in Georgia to the tune of 250 children per month. That means that more adolescent girls are harmed by commercial sexual prostitution (i.e. prostitution, sex trafficking, or pornography) each month than are killed in car accidents in an entire year. And child sexual exploitation is not just an inner city problem. The problem is statewide and pervasive.
Child sexual exploitation is a chilling problem and one that we all like to think could never happen in our backyard. But fortunately for these suffering young girls, they now have advocates in Georgia – a public/private partnership called A Future, Not a Past.
Atlanta has been identified by the FBI as one of the top hubs in the nation when it comes to child prostitution. That means that children can been seen on the city streets offering sexual services and that child sex trafficking rings often transport children through Atlanta on the way to other destinations.
A Future, Not a Past was started as the result of this finding. Run by the Juvenile Justice Fund, A Future Not a Past seeks to prove that young girls who find themselves caught up in prostitution are not, in fact, criminals, but victims of the adult criminals who serve as their pimps and traffickers. Through research, intervention, prevention and education, A Future, Not a Past strives to curb child prostitution through whatever means possible.
So far, efforts have included a study, which found that 65% of men searching for sex on popular web sites like Craigslist respond to advertisements promising "young" girls. They have also attempted educated the public about the supply and demand side of child commercial sexual exploitation. As long as "johns" suffering relatively few consequences for pay for sex with children and teens, the problem will continue.
A Future, Not a Past also holds public events such as classes and seminars to educate the public about the facts of child commercial sexual exploitation and what they can do to aid the fight. One bright note comes from the law enforcement community. Because Atlanta has been identified as a hub, and because internet-related sexual transactions often cross state lines, the FBI has joined state and local law enforcement to curb child commercial exploitation.
But A Future, Not a Past can't do it alone. It will take the efforts of all Georgians to stamp out this insidious and heartbreaking tragedy. The A Future, Not a Past website includes information on the warning signs that a child might be a victim of commercial sexual exploitation. If you suspect that a child is being commercially sexually exploited, contact law enforcement or one of the below resources immediately:

This tutorial requires the basic knowledge for gif making and uses layer masks to blend the two scenes together, so it requires some photoshop knowledge to do. I use Photoshop CS 5, but this should work on all versions of Photoshop.

War, Inc.
War, Inc.
|Joshua Seftel
|John Cusack, Marisa Tomei, Joan Cusack
|Screen Writer:
|Joshua Seftel
|Release Date:
Much ink has been spilled over the American publics apathy toward movies inspired by the Iraq War. Last year, the Weinstein Company paid several million dollars for Grace Is Gone, which starred John Cusack as an Iraq War widower, only to see it bomb disastrously. Cusacks second stab at addressing the war, War, Inc., has quietly become a minor arthouse hit. It would be refreshing to report that its the contemporary equivalent of Dr. Strangelove or Catch-22. Alas, its a lowest-common-denominator comedy, the equivalent of a Larry the Cable Guy vehicle for readers of The Nation.
Cusack, who co-wrote and co-produced War, Inc., plays Hauser, a hit man employed by Haliburton stand-in Tamerlane, which is overseeing the U.S. occupation of Turaqistan. Its CEO (Dan Aykroyd, imitating Dick Cheney) orders Hauser to kill oil minister Omar Sharif (Lyubomir Neikov). Despite misgivings about his line of work, which lead him to gulp shots of hot sauce, Hauser is sent to Turaqistan with the cover mission of overseeing a trade show that culminates in the wedding of sexy Turaqi singer Yonica Babyyeah (Hilary Duff). He also meets a liberal reporter (Marisa Tomei), to whom he is attracted despite her politics.
Like Catch-22 and Thomas Pynchons novels, War, Inc. is filled with silly names. Unlike them, its comic vision is puddle-deep. Its full of random pop-culture references that lead nowhere. Why is Omar Sharif named after the actor? Could War, Inc. be making some point by conjuring up one of the few world-famous Arab performers? Your guess is as good as any. Just in case no one picks up Yonicas resemblance to a certain troubled American pop singer, her entourage includes Kevin Federline.
War, Inc. veers from dark comedy to actually caring about its characters. Unfortunately, most of them are walking cartoons. One might expect a nuanced vision of the Middle East from an overtly liberal movie, but War, Inc. is no less insulting toward Arabs than the Hollywood norm. All young men in Turaqistan are thugs or wannabes whose primary role models are 50 Cent and Ali G not necessarily in that order. War, Inc. grants Yonica the courtesy of being a deluded victim of a patriarchy that sexualizes everything, even offering a moment where she channels her inner Joni Mitchell, but it eventually reveals, in a faintly racist twist, that shes really a white American. Ultimately and despite its good intentions War, Inc. bears the marks of a vanity project. Every character not played by Cusack seems just a little less human than his sensitive hit man. Unfortunately, the movie itself is no sharper than its dimmer characters.

Duck population estimates promising for Mississippi
Breeding waterfowl populations have increased or remained similar to last year for the 10 duck species surveyed; and overall, duck populations rose 13 percent from last year to 42 million birds.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Canadian Wildlife Service conduct annual waterfowl population surveys on the breeding grounds to monitor waterfowl populations and help set hunting season frameworks.
The 2009 May pond count was 6.4 million ponds, an increase of 45 percent over the 2008 count of 4.4 million ponds.
"The good news is that May pond counts have greatly increased from last year. The bad news is that a report from North Dakota suggests nesting cover has greatly declined since last year because of expiring CRP contracts" said Ed Penny, migratory game bird program coordinator for the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks (MDWFP).
Mallard numbers increased 10 percent from last year to 8.5 million birds. Pintail populations increased to 3.2 million birds, which is 23 percent above the 2008 estimate.
Canvasback estimates were 35 percent above last year's at 0.7 million birds. Northern Shoveler breeding populations were estimated at 4.4 million ducks, which is 25 percent above the 2008 estimates. Gadwall, green-winged teal, blue-winged teal, American wigeon, scaup, and redhead populations were similar to last year's estimates.
Overall, this year's population estimates and breeding habitat conditions are promising. However, many factors contribute to a good hunting season for Mississippi's duck hunters. Fall and winter weather conditions play a large role in the migration of ducks. When ducks get here, they also need good habitat conditions to keep them around.
"If we don't get cold temperatures in the northern U.S., Mississippi hunters may not see the benefits of increased populations" said Houston Havens, MDWFP migratory game bird biologist.
"Our wildlife management area staff help make sure that ducks see good habitat when they arrive from the north" said Ed Penny. "These intensively managed islands of habitat give migrating ducks a place to rest and feed before landscape level habitat conditions improve from natural flooding."

A 'perfect storm of unfortunate events' makes it difficult for the auto industry to cater to Generation Y, Read writes.
David Zalubowski/AP/File
We've spilled a lot of ink on Millennials and their aversion to buying cars. Some data indicates that folks born between 1981 and 2001 are so un- and under-employed that their parents are the only ones who can afford to shop the showrooms.
