Long story sort of short (ugh not really, I tried.) I have a scheduled c section for the 12th. They told me to go in at 8am. Since I was just there on Friday at an "8am appt" for an ECV I know what that really means. I was not seen until almost 12, so I am assuming my section will not be done at 8am.
Today I told my mom ( who is so excited about her first grandchild- and it's great!) that she does not need to go to the hospital at 8am on the 12th. They probably won't do it right then so its silly for her to spend hours waiting. My aunt will also be there with her, and I know how they are. They will be crazy an asking the nurses every ten min when I'm going in, when I'm done, when can they see the baby.
DH and I really weren't sure if we wanted anyone to visit in the hospital, but since I will be there for 3-4 days we figured why not. However, I want time with my LO and DH right after I have him! Not having my family rush in. I want to breastfeed him and have it just be us three, and I don't want them to be offended when I don't let them in right away. I was trying to explain this to my mom and she flipped! Started crying hysterically and saying she will just go in to work that day, basically putting ME on a guilt trip! Wtf. I feel like I never should have said anything and just let her go in at 8am, but knowing her she would show up at 7:30am before we even get there!
She starts telling me I am so negative and have been this whole time (because for my baby shower she hosted which was a jack and Jill I didnt want baby games etc-that's another story..) I don't think I am being negative but I am stressed!
She asks me everyday what I am doing for thanksgiving. How do I know what I am doing for thanksgiving???? I am a FTM and I am not psychic, I have no idea how I will feel or if DH and I will be at all adjusted to this new life we are bringing home. She says, SO many people have c sections, you are making SUCH a big deal about it!!!
It has nothing to do with the sec, it has to do with how I am feeling with everything else! And yes woman, I am having major surgery.
As for the inlaws, they called DH last night and asked if they all (10 of them) could come to OUR house for thanksgiving. Are they on crack???! Because I want that kind of chaos in my house with a two week old. I also feel like they are going to be so offended when I say absolutely not to that, but seriously, are they planning on coming to clean my house before and after they spend the whole day here (possibly night... They don't know when things END.) maybe I am being negative, but I feel like I am on crazy pills. I know once he is here I will forget about all of this but I feel like no one understands and my mom and everyone else that has had a baby, immediately forgets what it feels like to be a FTM. Gooooood grief.

A pair of Palmyra teen-agers were left with minor injuries following a one-vehicle crash Wednesday evening in Marion County.
According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol the accident happened at 8:45 p.m. on County Road 110 five miles south of Maywood.
A 2002 Nissan Sentra was being driven east by 19-year-old Blayne M. White of Palmyra. The mishap reportedly occurred when White swerved to avoid an animal in the road. The car ran off the left side of the road and overturned.
In addition to White, who was not wearing a safety device at the time of the crash, also injured was 18-year-old Dilan S. Parrish of Palmyra. He was wearing a safety device.
Parrish did not seek treatment for his injuries. White was taken by a private vehicle to Hannibal Regional Hospital.

Mitsubishi is planning to be more open with its customers about what kind of fuel economy its models can achieve in the real world, according to UK MD of Mitusbishi, Lance Bradley.
It would start with the new Outlander PHEV (plug-in hybrid electric vehicle), which claims 148mpg, since hybrids often perform deceptively well during official testing. Bradley tells us that in the real world, though, "customers came back saying it only did 90mpg. It's crazy that people think that's bad, but it's all relative to the official figure."
"We'd like to do a graph, maybe just a figure, starting with the PHEV but then rolling it out to other cars. It would come from customer information," said Bradley, suggesting buyers could input their real world fuel economy to make it clear to prospective owners what they should expect.
It'll be an important next step for Mitsubishi considering it is planning to have every single one of its models offered as a plug-in hybrid electric variant in five years' time. The next-generation ASX for example will get a less complicated PHEV system than the Outlander, making it front-wheel drive only. That'll be followed by a PHEV Shogun and Mitsubishi is planning another small all-electric car, too.

One in five police officers who joined in 2009 have left,
just as police launch a major campaign aimed at attracting
female recruits.
Figures released under the Official Information Act reveal of
the 392 officers who graduated in 2009, 312 were still with
police - a retention rate of 79.5%.
A police spokesman said the figures reflected ''a healthy
level of turnover, which is vital for the future health of
the police workforce, and continues to remain significantly
below that of other state sector employers''.
Of the 1580 officers graduating from 2009-13, 402 were women.
Figures released to the Otago Daily Times show only 85 female
officers graduated during 2013, compared with 206 men.
Police Commissioner Mike Bush yesterday announced a new drive
to recruit more women.
''Recruiting women and developing leaders throughout the
organisation is a priority for NZ Police so that the
organisation can better reflect the community it serves.''
Two other initiatives were also announced - a new reality
television show on female officers called Women in Blue, and
a new advisory network for the recruitment and development of
female officers.
''We're looking for new young leaders with communication
skills, empathy and problem-solving abilities.
These skills are crucial to prevent crime and victimisation
in our communities,'' he said.
Women make up nearly 20% of 8845 constabulary staff.
Of that 2013 intake, 148 officers were Pakeha, followed by
Maori (36), Pacific (23) and Asian (16).
Between 2009 and 2013, 72 newly graduated officers were
posted to the Southern District, compared with 410 officers
deployed to Counties Manukau and 210 to Auckland.

General Information
One of China's Top Future Leaders to Watch
Personal and Professional Background
Liu Yunshan was born in 1947 in Xinzhou City, Shanxi Province (though some official biographers say that Liu was born in Tumd Right Banner, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and that Xinzhou was his ancestral home). Liu joined the CCP in 1971. He started his career as a teacher in rural Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region (AR) (1964–68), and was a "sent-down youth" (manual laborer in the countryside) in a rural commune in the region during the Cultural Revolution (1968–69).[1] He received an undergraduate education (on a part-time basis) from Jining Teachers College in Jining City, Inner Mongolia AR (1964–68) and took courses in public administration (on a part-time basis) at the Central Party School (1989–1992). He was a clerk in the Propaganda Department of the CCP Committee of the Tumd Right Banner, Inner Mongolia AR before joining the Inner Mongolia AR branch of the Xinhua News Agency, where he was a reporter and division head (1975–1982). Liu was deputy party secretary of the CCYL Committee in Inner Mongolia AR (1982–84), then deputy head and head of the Propaganda Department of the CCP Committee of Inner Mongolia AR (1984–87). He was promoted to secretarygeneral of the CCP Committee of Inner Mongolia AR (1987–1991), party secretary of Chifeng City (1991–92), and deputy party secretary of Inner Mongolia AR (1992–93). In 1993, Liu was transferred to Beijing where he served as deputy director of the CCP Propaganda Department (1993–2002). Liu was first elected to the Central Committee as an alternate member at the 12th Party Congress (1982).
Family and Patron-Client Ties
Liu advanced his career largely through the CCYL and is widely considered a tuanpai official.[2] He formed close ties with Hu Jintao when both of them worked at the CCYL. Liu Yunshan's son, Liu Lefei, is married to Jia Liqing, the daughter of Jia Chunwang, another heavyweight tuanpai leader, who served as minister of State Security, minister of Public Security, and the head of the Supreme People's Procuratorate. Liu Lefei is currently CEO of the China International Trust and Investment Corporation (CITIC) Private Equity Funds Management Co., Ltd, a strategic onshore private equity investment platform of the CITIC Group and CITIC Securities.
Political Prospects and Policy Preferences
As a two-term Politburo member, Liu is likely to be promoted to the Politburo Standing Committee (PSC). He will most likely succeed Li Changchun and become the new "propaganda tsar" of the country. But the possible reduction of the number of PSC seats from nine to seven may undermine Liu's chance for promotion. It is expected that he will continue the policy of tight control over media and the internet.
[1] The "sent-down youth" (插队知青) refers to young, educated urban dwellers who left their cities to serve as manual laborers in the countryside during the Cultural Revolution.
[2] Tuanpai (团派) literally means "league faction," referring to the officials who advanced their careers through the ranks of the Chinese Communist Youth League (CCYL), especially those officials who worked at the provincial and national levels of the CCYL leadership in the early and mid-1980s when Hu Jintao served as its head.

Bentley Systems wants to be the premier ride for infrastructure engineers. The company's computer-aided design (CAD) software is used to design and build large-scale infrastructure projects such as airports, transit and utilities systems, manufacturing plants, and buildings. Available on both a subscription basis (about three-quarters of revenue) and as a perpetual license, Bentley's software lets architects, engineers, builders, and property owners collaborate over the Web to develop and maintain projects. The company also offers content management applications, as well as consulting, integration, and training. It largely serves the architecture, construction, engineering, and utilities industries worldwide.
OperationsBentley offers its products under three basic platforms: MicroStation, (infrastructure design and modeling), ProjectWise (engineering project team collaboration), and, formed in 2010, AssetWise (infrastructure asset information management).
Geographic Reach
The company earns more than half of its revenue outside the United States. It operates in 50 countries across Africa, the Americas, Asia, Australia, and Europe and sees usage of its products from customers in some 165 countries.Financial Performance
Bentley reported 2014 revenue of about $625 million, up 7% from the prior year and the fifth consecutive year of sales growth. Subscription revenue was 76% of the total. Enterprise subscriptions (now numbering 285) bring in about 26% of revenue.
Partnerships are key to the company's growth. In late 2012 it announced collaborations with Siemens (digital factory infrastructure), highway and transportation department association AASHTO (bridge management and inspection), Trimble (infrastructure project site management), and mobile software and hardware provider 3D-P (mining equipment maintenance management).Mergers and Acquisitions
Bentley also relies on acquisitions to expand its product lines and its customer base. Recent acquisitions have focused on foreign markets.
Bentley acquired Acute3D, a company based in France that provides Smart3DCapture software for reality modeling. Across the English Channel, the bought C3global, a supplier of web-based Amulet software for operational analytics. Added to Bentley's AssetWise platform, the software delivers more insights as asset performance management.
Closer to home, Bentley acquired Charlotte, N.C.-based BLUERIDGE Analytics, Inc. The company develops SITEOPS, a site design optimization software that uses cloud-based computing techniques for site development professionals to sort through engineering alternatives and their costs.
Bentley added to its cloud services with the acquisition of EADOC, provider of construction management cloud services, in 2015. The addition to Bentley's MANAGEservices offerings helps project managers to reduce risk and staff hours, improve information quality, and provide owners with visibility into costs.
Company Background
Bentley Systems was founded in 1984 by the Bentley brothers - Scott, who went on to found underwater camera manufacturer VideoRay, current officers Keith, Barry, and Raymond. A fifth brother, Greg, joined his siblings at the company in 1991 and became CEO in 2000. The Bentley family owns 98% of Bentley Systems' equity.

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton welcomed tentative progress in U.S. efforts to invest in India's civilian nuclear power industry, but said more action is needed to translate improving ties into economic benefits.
Former President Bill Clinton once sought information from Hillary Clinton's State Department about speaking invitations "related to two of the most repressive countries in the world," ABC News reported Friday.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The latest from the presidential candidates as they meet and greet voters at the Iowa State Fair (all times are local):1:15 p.m.
WASHINGTON – Two inspectors general have asked the U.S. Justice Department to open a criminal investigation into whether sensitive government information was mishandled in connection with the personal email account Hillary Rodham Clinton used as secretary of state, senior government officials said Thursday.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's two brothers, Tony and Hugh Rodham, could be a problem for her presidential campaign. Over the years, the pair have been at the center of multiple controversies for their business dealings and Republicans are already using them to attack Clinton.

This should be a 10 star recipe Heather! I made this to take on our boat this morning and by 1:00 there was none left! This was superb!! My mom, dad, dd, brothers, hubby and I all give this a 10 star!! Thanks, this is a keeper!!
Heather, this was a wonderful little pie. I served it for lunch and everyone thought it was great. Great flavors. I made it the way you do, and it was so easy and looked beautiful. Thanks for sharing this recipe.
This recipe is fantastic. Made it tonight. Added 1/4 tsp allspice and 2 Tbls fresh dill. DELISCIOUS!!!
I didn't have parsley, but had fresh dill which I used in its place (many other recipes called for dill and I love it so I took a shot at it). Likewise, I didn't have ricotta, but had cottage cheese. After browsing other recipes and this, I improvised to make it as close to this recipe as possible (based on all the raving reviews). I was really impressed, I've heard so many horror stories with the use of phyllo dough, but this was very simple to put together and baked up nicely.
I'm looking forward to making this again (with all of the directed ingredients). Thanks for sharing!
Made for Mother's Day dinner. Excellent! I ate three huge pieces.
Just made this for dinner. Very easy to put together,,,,and really very good. I will definitely make again. Did not have spring onions, just used yellow onion, and just used 2 bags of spinach, 9 oz each, not the 2 lbs recipe called for. There was plenty of spinach. Can't wait for leftovers for lunch. Thanks for sharing.
This was easy and tasty! I will be making it again for sure!!
Delicious!! I brought this to a bunco party and it was gobbled up and enjoyed by everyone! I, too, increased the ricotta to 1-1/2 cups and used 5 TBS butter to make a 9x13 batch. The only thing I found was that the prep time was longer than expected...I must be a slow chopper!
Served this at a party we had and everyone LOVED it! Thanks so much for sharing!
Really easy to prepare and totally yummy! I had a recipe for spinach pie for years that LOVED but I lost it :-( This one is just as good. I'm on my third time making it!!

Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: All-Sex
This is far better than most autopilot b.j. vids; interracial sex at its best.
If there was ever a time to use the phrase, "Sean Michaels is the man," it's definitely now. He is the suave black cocksman that the girls are gaga for. He is cool and gentle, no crazed egomaniac shit going on, and his video Blown Away is right up there with the best in contemporary porno.
Michaels explains that the title has to do with pussy-eating and blowjobs, but there are a few scenes where the large dark planet hovers over the female landscape and pounds away. Bobbi Bliss is one such visitor, who is fucked to Mars and back -- but not before she sucks Michaels seriously deep. Bliss is the only girl in this production of new and seldom-seen talent who can deep throat the long warrior. However, Gina, Victoria, Amber, and Kayla (whose tits are bigger than her head) come close. In separate segments they all get down on their knees and wolf away like starved animals. Every scene in the video is hot -- or at least the ones where M performs. His paunchy male co-stars are far less dynamic, consequently, the girls perform with far less abandon. The exception might be a perfectly reasonable scene with Julian St. Jox and saliva-bearing Blair. She gets her salivary gland going and attacks with sloppy grace.

The old saw about the Barclays Classic is that it's a tune-up for the U.S. Open. And it's true. Westchester CC's tight fairways, deep rough and small greens present many of the challenges players will find next week in the national championship at Winged Foot GC.
Although players such as Duffy Waldorf and Chris Smith sometimes triumph at Westchester, expect a big-name winner. Like Phil Mickelson in Atlanta the week before The Masters, a star will put on a world-class performance this week.
The problem is, the superstars aren't playing up to their abilities right now. I would choose Padraig Harrington, who won the Barclays last year and was T-2 the year before. But the Irishman's only top-10 finish in the United States this year was at the WGC-Accenture Match Play. Ernie Els has only one top-10 at Westchester since he won in 1997, and I don't like that 81 he fired Sunday at the Memorial. Vijay Singh? Hasn't finished in the top 35 in his last four PGA Tour events. Phil Mickelson or Retief Goosen? Too focused on Winged Foot.
The pick here is Sergio Garcia, purely on track record. The Spaniard has four top-fours in five appearances at Westchester, including a pair of wins. Look for him to grab title No. 3 this week.

The Energy Department's Strategic Unconventional Fuels Fantasy
The DOE's Strategic Unconventional Fuels Task Force has issued its surreal final report:
Responsible development of America's oil shale, tar sands, heavy oil, coal, and oil resources amenable to recovery by carbon dioxide injection, by private industry, supported and encouraged by government actions to reduce uncertainties and stimulate investment, could supply all of the Department of Defense's domestic fuels demand by 2016, and supply upwards of 7 million barrels [a day] of domestically produced liquid fuels to domestic markets by 2035.
How does the Task Force explain how one can have "responsible development" of resources to an extent that would spell certain doom for the climate?
In this report, they insist "The integrated program could achieve these goals in a sustainable and environmentally sound manner." In Volume II, they have a "Carbon Management Cross-Cut Plan" whose first two objectives are:
- Achieve and exceed emissions parity with conventional petroleum by producing concentrated streams of industrial grade CO2 and beneficially utilizing the incremental increase in CO2 production over that of conventional petroleum.
- Enhance industry's ability to utilize the produced CO2 byproduct for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and other beneficial uses.
First off, using captured CO2 from unconventional oil to extract more oil from the ground through EOR is NOT the same as carbon sequestration, as I have previously argued.
Second, it is very unlikely that oil shale, tar sands, or liquid coal, could achieve emissions parity with conventional petroleum even with carbon capture.
Third, we need to reduce U.S. CO2 emissions — and hence U.S. oil consumption — 60% to 80% by mid-century, not sharply increase the dirtiest forms of unconventional oil.
What are the details of the fantasy?
Incremental Production Objectives (2035)
- Oil Shale — 2.5 MMBbl/d
- Tar Sands — 0.53 MMBbl/d
- Coal Liquids — 2.6 MMBbl/d
- Heavy Oil — 0.75 MMBbl/d
- CO2 EOR — 1.3 MMBbl/d
You read that right — 2.5 million barrels a day of oil shale and 2.6 million barrels a day of coal liquids.
Thankfully, there is no chance whatsoever this will happen, as DOE itself knows. I actually attended a preliminary briefing of this study many months ago where leading energy experts ridiculed these conclusions and a senior DOE official wouldn't defend them. Still, good to see our tax dollars at work so productively.
In case you want to know who signed their names to this, here goes:
Hon. Samuel W. Bodman, Secretary, U.S. Department of Energy
Mr. John D. Shages, Deputy Assistant Secretary (Official Representative)
Hon. Robert Gates, Secretary, U.S. Department of Defense

Dr. Laura S. Nelson, Energy Advisor (Official Representative)
Hon. Dave Freudenthal, Governor of the State of Wyoming
Ms. Mary Flanderka, Director, Wyoming Governor's Office of Planning (Official Representative)

All Bush has to do is wave a magic wand and these technologies suddenly become the clean technologies that will save us from global warming. He is amazing!
What the Defense Dept. needs is super efficient equipment running on really unconventional non-carbon fuels. They need to move away from the burdensome, expensive long tail of carbon fuels. It's not sustainable strategically or financially. Amory Lovins has done some work with them on this. I hope it has some impact.
Carbon sequestration is already a proven technology. At Kinder Morgan in Texas, over 1.5 million cu ft of co2 is captured daily and pumped deep underground for permanent storage. We only have 30 years left on conventional oil. Mexico is our number 2 oil supplier, and they are slated to go bone bare dry out of oil in only 9 more years. When people are starving, and there is world wide economic chaos, people will change their tune and be open to other options in the energy mix. Why are more people not attacking ethanol? It is perhaps worse than liguid coal. It takes more energy to produce than it yields. It takes 1.5 gallons of ethanol to equal 1 gallon of gas. It costs about $4.50 a gallon today. We should spend the tax dollars wasted on ethanol production on carbon sequestration for clean liquid coal production.

I Feel Ya
The Leann Chin in Uptown Minneapolis is 20,000 miles away from the river Indus, the birthplace of Hinduism, but it is where I had my most recent, and most instant-gratification experience with karma.
It was a beautiful Monday, one of those dazzling Midwestern summer-autumn afternoons where the sun and leaves try to out-brilliant each other. On my way into the fast-food joint, I held the door for three teenagers. They were 20 paces behind me, so I had to wait a few very uncool seconds for them to catch up, but I didn't mind because the day demanded lingering and loitering.
Actually, the weather and my good mood had nothing to do with it; I always hold doors for people. I suppose it's the small "c" catholic in me, which means "universal, relating to all," and the fact that somewhere along the line some of that golden-rule-do-unto-others-you-reap-what-you-sow stuff took root. I'm not always diligent about it, and I sure as hell am no saint, but at the very least I figure I can let someone change lanes in front of me without speeding up (if I'm lucky I'll get the wave), or hold a door for a stranger. I guess I just think it's a shitty world out there, filled with scabbed-over hearts and minds, and anytime I can throw someone a line that even briefly suggests to the both of us that there's something, anything, better, I'm gonna go for it.
Plus, I think opening a door is like opening your heart, and when you do so, you're acting on the same precept that led LSD researcher and psychologist Stan Grof to conclude, "The psyche and consciousness of each of us is, in the last analysis, commensurate with 'All-That-Is' because there are no absolute boundaries between the body/ego and the totality of existence." In other (Scarface's) words, "I feel ya."
I didn't think about it at the time, but as I stood there waiting for the teens to rush in, I guess I hoped for a little hip-hop nod or shrug to prove the Scarface-Grof theory correct, and to momentarily fill that depletion in me, the one that's still dippy enough to think that opening a door/heart will tether me to the rest of the planet and make all the aforementioned shit bearable. Turns out the teens weren't even going into Leann Chin--they passed me by without so much as a glance or a "No, thanks." It didn't bug me; in fact I didn't even think much about it until now, but on a darker day, I might have felt like a chump in Pollyannaville.
I suppose I also didn't feel that way because at this late date I know full well that if you lead with your heart, the way I often do, especially in this telecommunications (literal translation: "distant connections")-slash-journalism business, you're going to get popped. The head guys are always gonna win because winning is what they care about, so they're always going to burst through the door and not hold it for you or anyone else, and they'll get to where they're going faster and louder, and there's part of them in you, too, though much more of the time, so much more of the time, you couldn't care less about winning or being "right" and so you're left holding your door/heart/dick, and stammering about stuff like soul and legacies and world music days and this part of William Faulkner's Nobel Prize speech, which my friend Chris Hewitt sent me last year, a couple days after the death of that great door-holder, Paul Wellstone, and which rings as true today as when it was given in 1950:
"Our tragedy today is a general and universal physical fear so long sustained by now that we can even bear it. There are no longer problems of the spirit. There is only one question: When will I be blown up? Because of this, the young man or woman writing today has forgotten the problems of the human heart in conflict with itself which alone can make good writing because only that is worth writing about, worth the agony and the sweat. He must learn them again. He must teach himself that the basest of all things is to be afraid; and, teaching himself that, forget it forever, leaving no room in his workshop for anything but the old verities and truths of the heart, the universal truths lacking which any story is ephemeral and doomed--love and honor and pity and pride and compassion and sacrifice. Until he does so, he labors under a curse. He writes not of love but of lust, of defeats in which nobody loses anything of value, and victories without hope and worst of all, without pity or compassion. His griefs grieve on no universal bones, leaving no scars. He writes not of the heart but of the glands."
Many years ago I sat in a booth at a bar across from a beautiful young woman with long dark hair and big brown eyes and a smile that made me want to follow her everywhere forever. So of course when she said, in one of our first of many conversations, "I believe in karma," I lied and said, "Me, too," then a couple hours later went home and looked it up in the dictionary. What I discovered, as I did the other day, is that I hadn't lied at all.
After the teens blew by, I shuffled into line, ordered my usual and got my food, and approached the register. The woman behind the counter rang me up. It was eight bucks and change, and I reached into my back pocket for my wallet. Another guy behind the counter, the manager I think, leaned over the woman, who was about to take my money. He shooed her away, punched a key on the register, tore off the receipt and crumpled it. "Put your money away," he said. "I'm buying your lunch today. I saw you hold the door for those kids. That was really nice. Have a good day."
I didn't know what to do. I said thanks and sat down and ate my free lunch and thought about karma, the ATM-sort I'd just encountered that I don't really believe in, because I don't think you're supposed to hold the door for someone to get something so concrete in return; you hold the door because the door is there and the kids are there and you are there and the only other option is to let the door shut behind you and go it alone. What's more, on my worst days, I don't believe in karma in any form, because experience has also taught me that all sorts of creeps do awful things, spread terrible energy and nit-pick at others' spirits, and never really get what's coming to them--poor pitiful Rush Limbaugh notwithstanding.
Then again, I'm positive that stuff like what happened to me at Leann Chin happens every day. I just had to write it down to tell you about it, but I also did it to remind myself to continue to, as Pete Townshend sang, "open the door to your heart." Sure, you might get it slammed back in your face, you might feel like a sucker, it might even get messy, but you never know who might rush in, or who's watching and waiting to feed you in a way you've never been fed before. Do ya feel me?

Close NFL Rookie Watch 0 0 More 0 0 0 View Gallery Next Previous Next Matthew Emmons/US PRESSWIRE Santonio Holmes Last Week: Unranked

 The rookie out of Ohio State kicks off this week's rookie barometer. Holmes had five catches for 75 yards and his first NFL touchdown in a win over the Browns last Sunday. His numbers are modest right now -- 29 catches for 455 yards -- but he should be a bigger part of the Steelers' offense in the final weeks of the season. 1|10 Matthew Emmons/US PRESSWIRE Kamerion Wimbley Last Week: 9

 Wimbley let Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger wiggle away from him and throw the game-winning touchdown last week, but the rookie out of Florida State increased his sack total to 6.5 for the season and has been one of the lone bright spots on this team. 2|10 Matt Stamey/US PRESSWIRE Reggie Bush Last Week: 6

 Bush's rookie season continues to be somewhat frustrating because he's having trouble breaking off big plays. But he's still producing, especially as a receiver. Bush had eight catches for 58 yards to go along with 51 rushing yards in a loss to the Bengals last week. 3|10 Damian Strohmeyer/SI Mark Anderson Last week: Unranked

 Anderson is only a part-time player but his name comes up a lot when he's on the field. The rookie out of Alabama is always around the ball and last week he increased his sack total to 8.5 against the Jets. 4|10 Howard Smith/US PRESSWIRE Vince Young Last Week: 5

 Young's passing numbers aren't good -- he was 8-for-22 in last week's win over Philly -- but he's burning opponents with his legs and keeping the Titans in games by avoiding mistakes. 5|10 Al Tielemans/SI Joseph Addai Last Week: 3

 Addai had a ho-hum week against the Cowboys with 13 carries for 50 yards, but the Colts rookie should do very well against the Eagles' porous run defense on Sunday night and solidify his place near the top of the Rookie Watch. 6|10 John Iacono/SI Demeco Ryans Last Week: 4

 The Texans fell 24-21 to the Bills, but don't think the loss means Houston still isn't improving on defense. Most of Buffalo's damage came on two long bombs, but the Texans did a great job stuffing the run, and Ryans deserves the credit. The second-round pick out of Alabama has become the leader of Houston's defense and ranks sixth in the NFL with 86 tackles. 7|10 John W. McDonough/SI Marcus McNeill Last Week: 7

 The Chargers' offensive explosion is one of the biggest stories of the season and a lot of credit has to go to the massive left tackle out of Auburn. Not only is he helping open holes for LaDainian Tomlinson, he keeps Philip Rivers from getting sacked often by watching his quarterback's blind side. 8|10 John Biever/SI Laurence Maroney Last week: 2

 Maroney is taking more and more of the load for the Patriots. Last week, he ran for 82 yards on 19 carries and turned a short pass into a 19-yard touchdown catch in a blowout win over the Packers. With fellow New England running back Corey Dillon showing his age, Maroney will be the man during the Pats' stretch run. 9|10 Bob Rosato/SI Marques Colston Last week: 1

 Colston sprained his ankle in the first offensive series of the Saints' loss to the Bengals last week, but the Hofstra product is going to at least try to play Sunday against Atlanta and defend the top spot in the rookie rankings. 10|10 Next up 18 NBA Cheerleaders November 22, 2006 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 More Recommended Galleries

Parts of Troy University's main campus were without power on Tuesday.
The main campus of Troy University in Troy had been suffering from several intermittent power outages, including one on July 4th.
In an effort to stop the problem, the campus had a planned power outage at 4:30am Tuesday morning. This caused building such as Hamil Hall, the Trojan Center, and McCall Hall to be without power for several hours while repairs were made.
Power was finally restored to the campus at around 9:30am Tuesday morning.

Maya Azucena is proud to present her provocative breakthrough sound. Her LP, Unleash Me, is set for release later this year and is part of a collaboration with super-producer Sonix The Mad Scientist (Sean "P-Diddy" Combs, 50 Cent, DMC of Run-DMC, Maxi Priest, Mick Mars from Motley Crue, Mario Winans). Her eclectic brand of Progressive Soul mingles effortlessly with a nostalgic mix of Rock Fusion, creating a unique mélange that could be considered the future of fusion.
Ms. Azucena was awarded a Grammy Certificate for her feature with Stephen Marley on his record, Mind Control, which won a Grammy for Best Reggae Album. MTV Made star, singer/ songwriter/ social activist, Maya's work has been recognized across the globe. Maya's performed on countless stages, including Essence Fest alongside Beyonce, Jill Scott, Maxwell and others. In 2015, Maya toured to Haiti, South Africa, India and Russia, as well as her U.S. shows. Recently, she performed at the world-renown TEDxWomen Conference in Washington DC, and participated greatly in One Billion Rising, an international campaign to end domestic violence. Maya's critically acclaimed song, "Dance Revolution" was commissioned by One Billion Rising founder, Eve Ensler, to inspire support throughout the campaign.
Maya is on the executive board for CONNECT NYC, an organization that provides counseling and other services to families and communities healing from domestic violence. As a result of her work, Maya was featured in The Washington Post, Billboard and many other publications. In 2013, she received the Innovator of Change Award that stated, "Thank you, Maya Azucena, for using your voice to make the world a better place."
On Tuesday March 15th, Favorite Song, debut single from Maya's forthcoming Unleash Me LP, is released: A set-it-free on the dance floor classic groove produced by Sonix The Mad Scientist, "Favorite Song" is Maya's funny but honest way to deal with a past betrayal and heartbreak. "I now struggle to listen to one of my favorite songs because it reminds me of an ex!"
Lyric: "You messed up my favorite song, now I can't even sing along/Because of all the dirt you done, I can't play Anthony Hamilton!"
Maya's humanitarian anthem, Dance Revolution, receives enthusiastic press including Huffington Post, Buzzfeed, and PopWrapped among others.
"Maya brings a musical revolution" – Buzzfeed

The 29-year-old has signed with the Irish club Connacht for
three seasons. He will link up with former Blues coach Pat
Lam at the club.
Clarke is the second Chiefs player in a matter of weeks to
announce a move after All Black Richard Kahui signalled his
departure for Toshiba for Japan.
Lock Clarke has played 57 games for the Chiefs including
leading the side to their first Super 15 title last season.
"I was planning on leaving a few years ago but under the new
management I was really enjoying it so I decided to stay.
"Then we won the competition, so I wanted to stick around and
have a crack at defending the title.
"I've had some great highlights in New Zealand rugby
including winning the Investec Super Rugby title and the
Ranfurly Shield with Taranaki, but now it's time for my new
wife and I to go on a bit of an adventure."
Chiefs' coach Dave Rennie said "Craig's impeccable standards
on and off the field have helped raise the bar in this
"He is a passionate Chiefs man and was a massive part of the
success we had last season.
His leadership, his work ethic and his attention to detail
have continued to impress me.
"We'll miss him, but it's a great opportunity for Craig and
Veree and we wish them all the best."
Clarke will not be available for ITM Cup this year for his
provincial side Taranaki.
The Chiefs kick off their Super 15 campaign this Friday
against the Highlanders in Dunedin.

« Bad Vitamin Water, Bad | Today in Anti-Terrorism »
Holy crap, is that the TV? The sofa? The RUG? Man. Child abuse is justified. Whoop, out that open window you go. Wait, it wasn't open? It is now.
oh god that is one hillarious picture.
Every day I thank non-existant God for my vasectomy. Kids (or hanger bait as I like to call em) ruin everything. You can croon all you want about unconditional love, but I have never had to clean up a mess like that. And I have some rowdy drunken friends. Why do people have kids anyway? Do they wake up one day and say "You know what? Everything I own is too clean. I need some shrieking little monster to get their drool and sticky fingers on everything I hold dear!"
Breeders dim enough to leave a gallon of white paint open around two toddlers should not be allowed to reproduce in the first place.
I think most people have kids because their egos crave mini selves. It's a strong, innate urge. And because parenting gives a futile life a little purpose.
wow. cutnuts: life is messy, and your stuff is probably not that precious. Amy kate: I agree, strong urges are at work but 'futile life...' If life is so futile why does it give us the opportunities it does, such as having children. I don't have any myself, but this pic is great: kids don't respect our expensive plasma tvs and leather couches SO WHAT. ITS JUST ADULT TOYS. Nothing is permanent. Grow up and laugh a little kids!
I do love that someone thought to take a photo rather than spanking the hell out of these kids.
Oh come off it with the blame the kids bit. The kids didn't just pop that can open on their own. The adult who left an open can of white paint in the living room with the kids is an idiot. I don't even have kids and I know better than to do that. Hilarious picture tho. Thanks for sharing AK.
Also, I find it hypocritical when adults, who were likely snot-nosed kids themselves, complain that kids do kid things like make a mess or misbehave.
Good thing for you your Mom didn't consider you to be "hanger bait" cutnuts.
C'mon, that's a really nice TV, and those kids are just worthless little parasites anyways. That TV cost some real money, but you can make more kids for free. Out the window they go.
People have kids for the same reason cats have kids, we just think it's for different reasons because we're idiots.
Now I understand why lions eat their young.
Kids will find cans of paint hidden away in the darkest of corners. Figure how to open the can, because they've seen you do it. Then proceed to destroy shit. That's how it goes. Hopefully they learn it was wrong, grow up, and watch there kids to it to them.
Kids are a reflection of their parents. Parents who let their kids run wild or who are too weak to discipline their children wind up with messes like that.
Wow. Though I am a parent, I almost agree with the out the window thought expressed in these here comments! Yes, parents who leave ANYTHING alone with two toddlers for more than 15 seconds deserve to be shot int he kneecaps. however, as it is NOT my house, floor, TV, couch or children, I laugh uproariously at the whole thing!
Holy moly. I've never read such a bunch of acid about people who have kids! Cut Nuts, I hope you change your tune by the time some of this "hanger bait" grows up, so they can change your diaper at the nursing home when you're all alone, sitting smugly, superior, with those withered raisins between your legs and absolutely no family around you. Awesome!
This photo is more proof of why GAYS SHOULD NOT ADOPT.
Don't get me wrong. Kids are terrific. With a warm arugula-walnut salad, after slow grilling in a pineapple marinade? Oh, hell yes I love kids.
I agree with Fnarf, and a little BBQ sauce from one JohnnyMoFunk makes them so tender too!
Every day I thank non-existant God for my vasectomy.
I think most people have kids because their egos crave mini selves. It's a strong, innate urge. And because parenting gives a futile life a little purpose.
the great thing about this sort of pathetic depressive victim-like outlook on life is that these people tend not to have children, thus ensuring that their viewpoint will be less represented in the next generation.
In a few hundreds years this sort of meme will be less common / the number of self-hating depressed folks will be far lower, and an overall slightly more optimistic human race will be doing great deeds without the burden of their carping and nay-saying.
I have a quote on my fridge "we do not remember days... we remember moments." (cesare pavese). That's one heck of a moment. Enjoy. I expect that will be a moment you'll look back on years from now and laugh and smile about. In fact, you took the photo, so you're probably doing so already. I don't care what some of the other "posters" say, I love the smile on your kids faces. Give them a hug for me. :)
I thought the kids' work showed a remarkable formal clarity: that square in front of the couch, and a fairly rectilinear appication to the TV. It was clearly not a destructo-orgy. I say, good work! And, of course, it made a great photo, classic! Worth the commodity 'conversion', I'd say.

Super Nanny to the rescue -- I fucking love that show. That british nanny Jo is really kind of hot and I love when she makes them sit in the 'naughty chair'. GRRRRR
I came up with a saying not long ago.
"I'm a reader, not a breader."
Is that like sliced-breads and shit?
Sheesh some of those posters who have made snap judgments about the kids and the parents (cutnuts, keshmeshi, napoleon) I hope you do not have kids, as you are joyless, sanctimonious tossers. Kids do stuff.
The photo made me laugh a lot. The little scamps clearly enjoyed themselves. Oh yes and I am not some soppy liberal. I would have told them both off and they would have known not to do it again for sure. But after I would have laughed myself silly.

The Galaxy head to Toronto still hot about the errant penalty-kick call that cost them a win at D.C. United last weekend and needing three points to keep pace with Real Salt Lake or Colorado -- or leapfrog both to the top of the Western Conference.
It's a homecoming of sorts for forward Chad Barrett, whose reputation for not scoring goals has reared itself again with L.A. and, for the time being, at least, cost him a starting job with his new team. Barrett missed as many as he scored in Toronto, which he described, when he joined the Galaxy in January, as a place "where everybody sits in traffic, it's cold, bitter, it's understandable why people are so pissed."
But Toronto, and its Reds (1-1-2), won't be on his mind in Wednesday's clash at BMO Field. Barrett needs to take care of things at home first.
"I'm more to the point where I have to prove myself more in [Galaxy coach] Bruce Arena's eyes and in my teammates' eyes than to come back and have some personal vendetta ...," he told Major League Soccer's website this week. "I wish I could have taken TFC to the playoffs when I was here, but for some reason or another it didn't happen. I feel like the stability of the team from the top down was always a problem, but we definitely had the players here throughout that should have been able to get the job done and take TFC to their first postseason.
"They are a good club, they have great support, fans who will show up 20,000 strong every game and deserve to see their team in the playoffs."
The Galaxy (2-1-2) are thinking well beyond the playoffs. They'd like another Supporters' Shield and are trying to keep up with Western leader Real Salt Lake (3-0-0) and defending MLS Cup champion Colorado (3-1-0), which have a one-point lead over L.A. RSL and Colorado also tangle Wednesday in a Rocky Mountain Cup encounter, and if they draw, the Galaxy would climb past them with a victory.
They'll have to try to do so without Landon Donovan.
The club confirms that its captain, left behind on the three-goal road swing with "knee inflammation," did not travel to Toronto and will not play against the Reds. He might be brought in for Sunday's game at Chicago, but that decision won't be made until Thursday or Friday.
WORTH NOTING: Both of last year's meetings were 0-0 draws. ... The Galaxy is 8-7-3 all-time against TFC (8-7 on goals) and 1-1-2 at BMO (2-3 on goals).
INJURY LIST: Donovan is still at home, and so are forward Adam Cristman (knee surgery), defender Gregg Berhalter (sprained knee) and rookie midfielder Hector Jimenez (wrist surgery).
Head coach
Aron Winter was a top central midfielder for the Dutch national team (84 caps, two World Cups, three European Championships) and for clubs in Holland (Ajax Amsterdam, Sparta Rotterdam) and in Italy (Lazio, Inter Milan). He joined Toronto FC after serving as an assistant coach at Ajax.
Three key players
Netherlands Antilles-born wing-forward Javier Martina, who scored twice in TFC's Week 2 victory over Portland, played for Winter and assistant coach Bob de Klerk at Ajax.
Brazilian attacker Maicon Santos was a hit-and-miss forward for Chivas USA who has become a team leader with the Reds -- he's the captain now that Dwayne De Rosario is gone -- who plays a prominent role up front or behind the frontrunners.
Swiss-born, NorCal-raised, Cal-educated Stefan Frei, 24, is MLS's best young goalkeeper, has been since snaring a starting spot as a rookie in '09.
Current form/prospects
Winter and his staff are still figuring things out with TFC, and we probably aren't going to see the finished product this year. There's a lot of room to grow, but the Reds can't be unhappy with their results so far, bouncing back from the emotional opening-day loss at Vancouver with a victory over Portland and successive 1-1 draws with Chivas and at San Jose, which is a pretty good team. The hope is that Designated Player Julian de Guzman's return from knee surgery will provide a sizable boost, but the Canadian national-teamer hasn't lived up to his salary in MLS.
Local connections
Long Beach-born forward Alan Gordon was acquired from Chivas USA just before the start of the season. He was with the Goats for less than a year but spent the previous six years with the Galaxy. … Midfielder Nathan Sturgis started his pro career with the Galaxy in 2006-07, and defender Ty Harden was a rookie starter for L.A. in 2007. … Maicon Santos was with Chivas in 2009-10, and defender Dan Gargan spent two weeks with the Goats in 2008. … Team consultant Juergen Klinsmann lives in Huntington Beach.
Dutch midfielder Elbekay Bouchiba (sprained knee) is out.

I am a stepmom and I have been married to my husband for over 2 years. I guess before I married him he always left his bedroom door open at night. He says he did it for his children so that he could hear things at night better, or if they needed him he would hear. Well when I married him we got all new furniture for the bedroom so to me that room is the only room in the house that truly feels like mine, since he bought the home with his ex. Ever since I was a little girl I always slept with my door shut, so obviously I want to shut the master bedroom door. But now since we have his oldest daughter who is 10 years old if freaking out, she claims she gets scared at night and is worried if someone were to break in that we would not hear anything because the door is shut. I feel she is just being demanding and trying to get her way. Is it wrong for me to want to keep the door shut at night? Does anyone else shut their door at night with kids age 7 and 10, that is how old my step daughters are. BTW my step daughter that is 7 has no problems at all with the door being shut, only my step daughter who is 10. Please help me with this!!!Answer Question
