IMO The Chiefs will not take a QB w/#1 pick. Unless Andy Murray declares, there is not one worthy of that high of pick, esp. Geno Smith. I would look for the OT(Joeckel) from Texas A&M or a Def. player and then a QB in the 2nd or 3rd.

Although getting a big run stuffer would be nice for the Vikes it isnt as pressing a need as LB or WR..also I dont think Patterson drops that far but im not God and cant predict that for sure
RD 1 LB Ogletree or any WR of Hunter, Williams, or Patterson
RD 2 DT Williams would be good value here

Two good Vikings picks, I think there is about a 2% chance that Patterson will be there in round two, but if he is, that would be amazing.

J.J. Watt Proposes To 6-Year-Old Girl Who Was Sad She Couldn't Marry Him
(KTRH) We all know Texans' JJ Watt has heart on the field, it's also ever apparent that he has heart off the field. Watt saw a youtube video of a 6-year old crying because she was too young to marry him. He then took to Twitter to find the girl and with the help of social media was able to locate Breanna. The adorable picture he sent out after is priceless.
Thanks to your help, we found 6-year-old Breanna and she said yes to being my pretend wife for the day... twitter.com/JJWatt/status/…— JJ Watt (@JJWatt) January 30, 2013

Unless the entire query is controllable from the parameter then no you can't morph a select into an insert or update. However, you can likely alter one or more parameters affecting the where clause of the query. Which along with various comment delimiters may allow you to remove restrictions of the where clause or chain your own query along with the select.
1) Simply assemble the HTTP request by hand and send it via netcat or telnet to the appropriate service etc.
2) Fix your syntax (keep in mind semi-colon normally delimits queries, and that you can use various comment constructs to get rid of bit on the original you don't like).
3) Alter the source code of sqlmap.

Overweight and wanting to have a baby
I'm a 29 year old woman that is 45.5 kg overweight. I am in the process of losing weight, but I need to know what a good weight range would be before getting pregnant. This is a difficult process for me; so, any tips on weight loss and weight ranges for what I need to weight before pregnancy would be very helpful.

What a great question,
I feel that each woman has a different weight range that is ideal for pregnancy. We are all made so differently that so many factors play into effect, such as height, heredity, build etc.
Here is a link to a great conversation on weight pre-pregnancy.
Have you consulted with your family doctor on this matter?
I would suggest that you have a physical and get the advice of a doctor on a healthy weight for your body would be. Then you would have a goal in place in your weight loss journey.
Best of luck to you.
24th June 2014 06:19 AM #3
Hi DecisionsDecisions,
Yes as sunnymumof5 says above please have a look at that previous discussion on a healthy pre-pregnancy weight. It your your body mass index which is particularly important.
Please could I ask if you have regular periods?
Exercising regularly is obviously important when you are tying to lose weight. However, some women do not realise that a regular exercise regime also means a woman is more likely to have a healthy pregnancy and a shorter, easier birth. Do you do any regular exercise at the moment?
Packing your diet full of fresh fruit and vegetables will help you to lose weight and, again, to have the nutrients your body needs in pregnancy. Avoid sugary food and convenience food and focus on high quality protein, wholegrains and fruit and vegetables.
Please do post back with any further questions you have.
Warm wishes,

Stepping out for a star-studded shindig, a host of television celebrities showed up at the FOX Winter TCA All-Star Party in Pasadena, California on Saturday (January 17).
"Mad Men" babe January Jones was in the house to plug her brand new series "Last Man On Earth," and she looked adorable in her designer duds.
There's been all kinds of action as part of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil over the past few days, and our favorite stars were apparently tuned in to see Team USA defeat Ghana on Monday night (June 16), with plenty of Twitter action afterwards.
Justin Timberlake simply tweeted, "USA! USA!!!" while Jamie Kennedy snarked, "WE FINALLY DEFEATED GHANARIA!!!"
While there are many ways to celebrate St. Patrick's Day (usually involving alcohol), the residents in and around Los Angeles woke up to a ground-shaking event this morning (March 17).
According to the USGS, a 4.7-magnitude earthquake emanated from the Westwood epicenter at 6:25am and plenty of stars were caught off-guard.
Getting by with a little help from his famous friends, Jason DeRulo is plugging his new single "Talk Dirty" in a big way.
When it comes to awards shindigs it doesn't get any bigger than this, and the 86th Academy Awards welcomed Ryan Seacrest and Giuliana Rancic to the red carpet outside Hollywood's Dolby Theatre earlier tonight (March 2).
Hitting up one of the biggest events in the music world, "American Idol" judges attended the "American Idol XIII" Finalists Party in West Hollywood, CA today (February 20).
Stunning the crowds around her into a hush, Jennifer Lopez arrived in a gorgeous black dress, along with the smooth Randy Jackson, looking good as he made his way in.
He's one of the best-dressed guys in showbiz, and Ryan Seacrest is putting his expertise to work in a new range of men's apparel.
According to a report, the "American Idol" host will kick off his Ryan Seacrest Distinction empire this fall, with suits, dress shirts, tuxedos, belts, ties, and accessories priced from $45 up to $550.
Celebrating the four-year anniversary of her Let's Move! campaign, First Lady Michelle Obama stopped by Ryan Seacrest's radio show on KIIS FM on Thursday (January 30).
During the interview, the 50-year-old FLOTUS spoke about the anti-obesity campaign, encouraged young people to take advantage of the Affordable Care Act, and opened up about family life in the White House.

Has he fully recovered from the injury? It's impossible to say, but something's not right with Roy. The most frustrating thing about No. 9 is that he may very well be the engine of this team. Laugh if you will, but look at the facts: When Roy records a point, the Sabres are 12-2-3, When Roy fails to mark the scoresheet, the Sabres are 5-15-0.'

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 II review: new back-illuminated sensor promises superior low-light performanceBy Kevin Carter - Friday July 05 2013 Sensor Review
Sony's update to the Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 includes provision for a optional EVF and a useful pull-out rear LCD, but the head line news is the inclusion of a newly developed back-illuminated Exmor R BSI-CMOS sensor with superior low-light performance. Read on to see how well the new sensor performs in our labs.
When Sony launched the Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 in June 2012 it was well received for the compact dimensions and handy 28-100mm (equivalent) zoom range, but the main attraction was the imaging performance from its much larger than usual 1-inch type sensor. As the name suggests the RX100 II is this year's update, adding a number of useful refinements, including a hotshoe (importantly, with provision for a EVF), Wi-Fi with NFC capabilities and a pull-out rear LCD. It retains the 20-MPix pixel count of its predecessor but perhaps the most significant revision to this model is the new back-illuminated (BSI) sensor architecture, allowing a 40-percent increase in low-light sensitivity say Sony.

To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
After analyzing the sensor performance of the new Sony RX100 II we've now had the opportunity to assess its Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* 28-100mm (equivalent), f/1.8-4.9 zoom. Read on to see how well the lens performs.

I pre-ordered mine
Everything I've read and heard from others has been brilliant. An upbeat review: http://www.squidoo.com/sony-rx100m-ii-and-sony-rx1r-price-and-review summarized the main points of BOTH the RX Series cameras being released, and you can find the web-cast from Sony about these cameras there too. I've pre-ordered mine... I'll post again when I have it in my hot little hand!

Guys, you can't count
"As for color depth, the Sony has a comfortable lead of +1.67 stops over the G15"
22.5-19.9=2.6, not 1.6. Every bit doubles the number of different values, i.e. a stop.

Re: Guys, you can't count
Thanks for your interest in DxOMark.
2.6 bit for color depth means only 1.67 stop. For color depth a difference of 1.5 bits equals 1 stop of difference.
For further information please check the color sensitivity computation which is describe here:

Dylan Lukes of South Jordan dropped out of his Boy Scouts of America troop two years ago after another Scout found his journal, where he had written about being gay.
"The other parents freaked out and were not comfortable," said Lukes, now 17. "I wanted to get my Eagle [Scout] badge … but I just stopped going because I felt uncomfortable."
In a historic decision Thursday, selected leaders of the BSA voted to ease an increasingly controversial ban and allow openly gay boys to join, while continuing to exclude gay adults. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has a 100-year history with the group, with the Boy Scouts making up a large part of its youth program.
Lukes said after the vote he's glad to see the change but he predicts some Utah troops will face a challenge in helping gay youths feel welcome.
He was not asked to leave his troop, he noted, but chose to leave because he felt it had a culture of being anti-gay. The new policy could change troop environments, he said, but he feels "it all depends on the [LDS] wards that the troops are in."
The LDS Church, the nation's largest sponsor of troops, had said it supported the proposal to allow gay youths. The 1,400 voting members of the BSA's national council passed a resolution that said: "No youth may be denied membership in the Boy Scouts of America on the basis of sexual orientation or preference alone."
In a statement after the vote, the LDS Church said its leaders " will continue to seek the most effective ways to address the diverse needs of young people in the United States and throughout the world. Sexual orientation has not previously been and is not now a disqualifying factor for boys who want to join Latter-day Saint Scout troops. Willingness to abide by standards of behavior continues to be our compelling interest."
Those standards include abstinence from sexual relationships.
Great Salt Lake Council officials, who represent one of the nation's largest BSA groups with about 75,000 Scouts, said they allowed each of their 15 voting members to "vote their conscience."
The policy change takes effect Jan. 1.
The vote's outcome will not end the bitter debate over the Scouts' membership policy. Liberal Scout leaders have made clear they want the ban on gay adults lifted as well.
In contrast, conservatives with the Scouts including some churches that sponsor Scout units wanted to continue excluding gay youths, in some cases threatening to defect if the ban were lifted. Before the vote, one estimate suggested a policy change could cause as many as 100,000 to 350,000 Scouts to leave, and could affect donations.
"This has been a challenging chapter in our history," the BSA chief executive, Wayne Brock, said after the vote. "While people have differing opinions on this policy, kids are better off when they're in Scouting."
Scouting was established in 1910 and claims 2.6 million youth members, in addition to thousands of leaders and volunteers.
In Utah, Chipotle Mexican Grill pulled its sponsorship in May of the state's "Scout-O-Rama" event, citing its anti-discrimination policy. Winger's Roadhouse Grill, Utah Sports Lodge and Madeline's Steakhouse came forward to fill the void.
Winger's donated an equal amount to the Utah Pride Center's Queer Prom, an annual event for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender youths and their allies.
In March, a group of Boy Scout and church leaders proposed creating a troop sponsored by the Pride Center, aiming to include boys whose parents have opposed Scouting because of its gay membership ban. The Great Salt Lake Council, through the national BSA, denied the new troop application.
Peter Brownstein, the leader of an existing troop in Salt Lake City who had helped propose the Pride Center troop, said Scouts for Equality members plan to march in the Utah Pride Festival parade on June 2.
Brownstein's son, Michael, 13, is an Eagle Scout, and said of the policy change: "I think overall it will be a good thing; it'll bring more people into the program."
Before his journal was discovered, Lukes said, he had only positive experiences during his nine years of Scouting.
"I learned a lot of things and enjoyed going and learning how to take care of myself in an emergency," Luke said. "I'm not going to burn my uniforms ... I still live (what I learned in the Scouts)."

'"I'm really happy that I'm going to be back here in Buffalo," Mair told the Buffalo News. "It's something that was always at the top of my list. Everything went smoothly, and I think all sides are happy."'
Archives for June 2007
Sabres re-sign C Mair
Buffalo re-signs Mair
'Mair had two goals and nine assists in 82 games last season and had five points in the playoffs.'
Mair Signs For Three Years
'"Adam is an important part of this team and we are glad to have him under contract for three more years," said Sabres GM Darcy Regier. "He brings veteran leadership and a passionate physical presence to the Buffalo Sabres."'
Sabres brace for potential big hits in free agency
'"I think you have to ask yourself, 'Do you want to win?' Free agents who went for all the money last year didn't win, with one exception, Scott Niedermayer," Quinn said, referring to the Ducks captain who won a Stanley Cup in his first season with Anaheim. "There's a lot of situations where it didn't help the player in a competitive situation, because it affects the team's ability to have players around him."'
Sabres re-sign Mair to 3-year deal
'Mair earned a slight raise above the $675,000 he made last season. The deal was announced by his agent, Robert Gerow, and reached a day before Mair was eligible to become an unrestricted free agent.'
Sabres re-sign Adam Mair
'Buffalo Sabres General Manager Darcy Regier announced today the Sabres have signed a three-year contract with forward Adam Mair. Mair was scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent on July 1.'
Titantic successfully navigated an unlikely NHL dream
'"I was working at a gas station and garage on Bridge St. in Niagara Falls, Ontario," recalled Titanic. "I was working in the garage when one of the mechanics came out from the back and said that he had just heard on the radio that I had been drafted by the Buffalo Sabres.'
Regier's handling of players is damaging team's reputation
'After speaking with several credible sources for both Chris Drury and Daniel Briere, the picture painted is not a pretty one. Both players are not happy with the way they and previous players have been treated by management. There should be no more wondering; Regier's Sabres have earned a very negative reputation around the entire league when it comes to player negotiations and player treatment.'
Some thoughts as the Free Agency period begins
'Buy a blank Sabres jersey and laugh at the fans that spent $100 to $200 on a jersey that reads "Briere" or "Drury" on the back. At least your jersey will always be in style. Theirs won't be.'
Sabres sign Mair to three-year deal
"I'm really happy that I'm going to be back here in Buffalo," Mair told The Buffalo News. "It's something that was always at the top of my list. Everything went smoothly, and I think all sides are happy."
Miller downplays possible departures
'"I don't think it's necessary to get worked up," Miller said. "If anyone doubted what our management staff has done, they'd be crazy. They saw how things would go way ahead of the rest of the league, and a lot of teams are modeling themselves after us right now. I'm not too concerned. You can't get all worked up over things on June 29th."'
Regier must spend or shed players to keep co-captains
'The NHL Free Agency period begins this Sunday and it all but appears that the Sabres will lose both of their co-captains. The Sabres management policies are surely to blame, but can they salvage themselves before July 1st?'
Briere camp tells Sabres he's headed to free agency; Smyth anxious for Sunday
'"We've decided we've come this far so we're going to hit the free-agent market," said Brisson. "There's no animosity with Buffalo, we just feel with free agency 48 hours away it's an exciting opportunity and Daniel and I have decided to go ahead and see what's out there. That doesn't mean we've closed the door on the Sabres."'
Sabres' Briere to test free agency
'"We've made the decision to go to July 1 and sit down and seek all options at that point," Briere's agent Pat Brisson told The Associated Press on Friday.'
The Clock is Ticking
'On Wednesday, the Sabres offered Briere a five-year deal worth approximately $25 million. Briere turned it down. Interestingly, it was a similar offer to the one the Briere camp (led by CAA agent Pat Brisson) had suggested to Sabres management last summer before the sides went to arbitration. It's just more proof that timing is everything, eh?'

Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station achieved its 20th consecutive year as the nation's largest power producer.
The almost 31.3 million megawatt-hours produced in 2011 is the most ever generated by Palo Verde or by any other U.S. power plant of any kind.
According to industry data, Unit 3 produced more electricity than any other reactor in the U.S. in 2011 and was the second most productive in the world. Despite a scheduled refueling outage in the spring of 2011, Unit 2 was third most productive reactor in the U.S. and ranked 10th in the world. Unit 1, which had a scheduled refueling outage in the fall of 2011, ranked 14th in the U.S. and 30th in the world. Palo Verde's three reactors are part of 104 operating units in the U.S. and 435 in the world.
"Our investment in equipment upgrades and our employees' efforts to continually improve safety and overall plant performance has resulted in many successes," said Randy Edington, Executive Vice President and Chief Nuclear Officer for Arizona Public Service Co., the operator and largest owner of Palo Verde. "We are proud of our accomplishments in enhancing plant operation and will continue to strive to improve our record. We will stay on our course to achieve our mission to 'safely and efficiently generate electricity for the long term.' "
From 2002 to 2010, Palo Verde installed new steam generators, high-efficiency turbine rotors, new reactor vessel heads and rapid refueling machines in all three units. These large investments resulted in increased output by about 200 megawatts and reduced down time for refueling and maintenance.
Other 2011 accomplishments include:
- After a two-year in-depth technical audit, inspection and scrutiny of the plant's operation, equipment and safety performance, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission approved extending the operating licenses for all three Palo Verde units an additional 20 years beyond the original 40-year licenses, allowing Unit 1 to operate through 2045, Unit 2 through 2046 and Unit 3 through 2047.
- Palo Verde set a record for lowest outage radiation exposure in the nuclear industry. Palo Verde's Unit 1 refueling outage completed in November recorded the lowest ever 20.6 rem. Prior to 2011, the best refueling outage recorded for a U.S. commercial plant was 28.2 rem in 2006. The record low exposure included 106,424 man-hours accumulated by more than a thousand nuclear professionals who worked in the tightly controlled areas of the plant where radiological exposure is possible. Current industry median for station-best is 59 rem. Rem is an abbreviation for roentgen equivalent man, a measurement of ionizing radiation. One rem is equivalent to receiving one upper gastrointestinal (GI) computerized tomography (CT) scan.
- Palo Verde opened a new Energy Education Center in Buckeye. The new building includes state-of-the-art equipment needed to respond to an emergency and provide the public with the most complete, timely and accurate information. It also will be used for other business purposes including employee training, industry conferences, offsite meetings and community outreach activities. The U.S. Green Building Council awarded the facility its second-highest rating under the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design program, known as LEED.
Palo Verde is the largest nuclear power plant in the nation. Its three units can generate more than 4 million kilowatts of safe, clean, reliable, low-cost electricity every hour – enough to serve about 4 million people.
Palo Verde is operated by APS and jointly owned by APS, Salt River Project, Southern California Edison Co., El Paso Electric Co., Public Service Co. of New Mexico, Southern California Public Power Authority and the Los Angeles Department of Water & Power.

Re: Santorum is out
Besides the White House being in damage control over OBYs remarks, here's Reid saying
Hispanics shouldn't be Republicans.
An upcoming Hispanic Republican star (Rubio) counters. He's even been sought out
for VP on Romney's ticket.
In yet another embarrassment for the DEMs, Axelrod tells CNN that Rosen is your employee
not ours. That was after her attack on a women for being a mother and instead of working.
Hilary Rosen is or was thought of as a DEM advisor.

Re: Santorum is out
Well, Rosen finally apologized. Even the Wolfe guy on CNN told her to go on the
camera and look her in the eye. As you can see, that's exactly what she does
in this vid.
In retrospect, she was just following orders for making the statements to begin
with. Look how the media and WH has attacked women, espcially Palin plus
Bachman. SNL crucified them with the Palin parody and the band playing a
hot bitch song as Bachman walked on the stage.
The WH probably wanted her to say that but back tracked. Just saying.
Re: Santorum is out
Just when you thought the attacks were all over, Galen's MSNBC brings the President of NOW on Ed Schultz's show, he's the guy who was suspended for
calling Laura Ingram a slut, to pick up where Rosen left off.
The bitch says Ann Romney lacks the imagination to connect with most people.
Hey, Ann isn't even running for office, man. So backing up to Galen's posts above, he better stfu when accusing conservatives of negative stuff on women because these liberals are worse at it.

Any extra traction Obama gained from the Repubs (read Santorum) thinking it was a good idea to speak on contraception was just given back by Rosen and her asinine statements.

Re: Santorum is out
I heart all of the Santorum bashing posters that are out there now...
And finally...
Disclaimer: The content posted is of my own opinion.
Re: Santorum is out
Keep dreaming.
But I love how you libs go back to the faux contraception "shiny object" crap. The sad part is that once you guys are done using women's vaginas for political gain, you could give a rats ass about them. You think they are just stupid women who need their liberal overlords to tell them what they need to be concerned about. "Oh Susie, don't worry about being out of work, or paying high gas prices, or having to make ends meet in a crappy economy.......THEY WANT TO TAKE YOUR VAGINA AWAY FROM YOU!". It's so laughable, but at the same time very sad that this is the only way you can lure women to your side.
Even my wife laughs her ass off at this. But then again, that's what you libs loathe about Conservative Women. They are independent and can think for themselves. And therefore you can't control them for your own political power.
Oh and by the way. That message of the democrats being oh so more caring about the needs of women doesn't really resonate that well when your own leader doesn't even pay them the same wages as their male counterparts in his campaign staff. Never a good thing. :)

Now that's the funniest thing I ever read on the net Sting.
Galen - like Sting says, give it up. You're wrong again, as usual.
This woman says Rosen just gave Mitt a boost amongst women and the link
says as I originally posted that Rosen is an adviser to the DNC. That means
she advises OBY.
Another link listing her as a DEM strategist.
Nobody listens to you.

Re: Santorum is out
LOL - OBYs war on women blew up faster than a N. Korean rocket.
If Galen says it will die down, well, Biden is still out there fueling
the war. Somehow, he didn't the the memo that the war is over.
Also, as it says here she works at the DNC. She's in public relations. And they showed their hostility, and they showed who they really are, and it just backfired on 'em big time. But speaking of the War on Women, we like to make points here. We like to persuade. We like to convince people. War on Women. Aren't half of the aborted babies in the country women, female? Aren't they? I mean statistically that would be the case, wouldn't it be? War on Women, anyone?
Re: Santorum is out
Just wait until some liberal blogger gets hold of the amount of nannies the Romneys have employed (probably illegal immigrants to boot like their landscapers) over the years to raise their kids so that Anne could get enough time riding her stallions on the multitude of farms they own.
The true story here is the percentage of conservative men who expect "their women" to stay home and not work vs. the likes of Michelle Obama who, while raising her kids, acquired a law degree and actually contributed outside the household and more than just the supervising of the nannies. Meanwhile the conservative men use the "sanctity of the church" as a reason to limit women's choices, stick probes up their vaginal canals while holding their eyeloads open to watch videos of spilled cans of spaghetti sauce with sea monkeys squirming around in it.
As Alex would say: You needn't take it any further, sir. You've proved to me that all this ultraviolence and killing is wrong, wrong, and terribly wrong. I've learned me lesson, sir. I've seen now what I've never seen before. I'm cured! Praise god!
A big bro-fist to any connie that knows that reference.
Conservative female realist journalist Kathleen Parker:
"It should go without saying that this faux battle is silly and utterly off-point, not so much a clash of ideas as a peashooter contest in the Twitter Lounge. Yet, rather than treat it as such, everyone from the president of the United States to the Catholic League to the GOP and the Democratic National Committee has felt compelled to inveigh.
President Obama, reminding folks that he was raised by a single mom, noted that women who stay home with children are doing hard work and that anyone who argues otherwise should "rethink their statement." Rosen quickly rethunk and apologized for saying something true, which is never allowed in politics — but the heat is still high.
and my favorite:
Women and men should be angry, all right, but not at Ann Romney or Hilary Rosen, who are entitled to both their opinions and their choices without fear of censure or condemnation. Anger is better directed at those who take tiny utterances and inflate them into phony distractions. Visitors to preschool playgrounds have witnessed disagreements of greater import.
Of course the LIVs are all up in arms! I'm surprised you guys haven't strated a thread on how Obama somehow was responsible for N. Koreas mishap.

SQUIRE DuREE: Most of us don't know an awful lot about our great-great grandfathers. For one thing, we've got eight of them rattling around in the fog of history. No way we can name all eight of our great-great grandfathers. That's how quickly time swallows up the life's work of any of us. Best case, you can name one. Someone who accomplished enough of note to withstand more than a couple of generations of dissolution.
One great-great grandfather who will be hanging around in memory for a few more generations is Squire Franklin DuRee, whose great-great grandson, Mike DuRee, was appointed Long Beach's latest fire chief this month.
There's no singular accomplishment of Squire DuRee that would have prevented the erosion of his family's memory over time, but his body of work makes him one of Long Beach's most important, and perhaps wackiest, characters.
Where to begin? His involvement in getting Calbraith Perry Rodgers to wrap up his historic cross-country flight in Long Beach?
His work, along with that of another early city legend, Dutch Miller, in making Long Beach the first ocean resort city in the nation to equip its lifeguards with rescue boats?
Handing out thousands of pieces of Easter and Halloween candy every year?
Infamously staging an Empire Day celebration-turned-disaster?
Presiding over the downtown Municipal Market, the forerunner of today's farmers markets?
That last bit was our favorite. In 1913, the Woman's City Club of Long Beach convinced the City Council that an outdoor grocery and produce mart would bring revenue to the city. The council agreed and the market opened on Wednesdays and Saturdays on the west side of Pacific Avenue from Ocean Boulevard to Broadway, later expanding to include the south side of Broadway between Pacific and Cedar avenues, forming an L around Lincoln Park.
DuRee quickly aligned himself with the market, appointing himself volunteer Market Master and going so far as fashioning a uniform for himself - gray-and-black striped pants, a light gray jacket and a cap bearing the initials MM on the front.
He promoted the market relentlessly, staging various entertainments, including arranging for famed local aviator Earl Daugherty and another pilot, Marguerite Tincher, to perform noisy and dangerous loops and other aerobatics over the crowd of shoppers while dumping hundreds of postcards over the park.
DuRee stumbled upon Long Beach while bringing his family to Pasadena from San Diego in 1909. Born in Indiana in 1864, he bounced around the west, including a few years in Colorado, New Hampshire and Missouri before coming to California and, en route to Pasadena, becoming mesmerized by Long Beach's then-new Pike and the Walk of a Thousand Lights.
His first venture was a modest one, opening a grocery store at American Avenue (now Long Beach Boulevard) and Broadway. But he quickly got into the entertainment, opening the Bijou Theater, showing two-reeler Westerns.
Then, DuRee was off and running, promoting the city at every turn. He threw a baby contest at Easter, a twins convention, doll parades, kite festivals. Look at him cross-eyed and he would light up a fireworks display over the beach.
His effectiveness as a promoter backfired horribly on March 24, 1913. DuRee had discovered that the day was being celebrated in England as Empire Day, and decided to throw a bash in the auditorium on the double-decked Pine Avenue Pier.
The day was marked by martial music performed by the Municipal Band, and hundreds of enthusiastic anglophiles began stomping in time as they waited for the doors to open. Suddenly, in just a couple of seconds, the upper deck of the pier collapsed and the throng fell onto another crowd beneath them. Sixty revelers were killed and hundreds more were injured in what remains the second-biggest disaster in Long Beach history, behind the 1933 earthquake.
Undaunted, DuRee carried on in his service to the city's success in those formative years of the town.
He increased the popularity of the city's amusement zone as president of the Pike Association and general manager of the Long Beach Amusement League.
In the 1920s, DuRee was appointed director of the Long Beach Recreation Department, during which time he was key to the city's acquisition and development of some of the town's biggest parks, including Recreation, Houghton and Silverado.
It is, perhaps, particularly notable that DuRee was never a firefighter. It's what separates him from his son, his grandson, his great-grandson and his great-great grandson.
Squire's son Allen (A.C.) joined the fire department in 1918 and served as chief from 1933 to 1945. Allen's son Stanley joined the department in 1947 and rose to the rank of captain. Stanley's son Rick put in 31 years before retiring as deputy chief, and Rick's son Mike joined the fire department in 1994.
Squire died at 81 in 1945, after having jump-started the city in a way no other man could have. His son Allen told the Press-Telegram at the time of his father's death, "He would have lived to 100 if he had coddled himself, but that just wasn't his way."

One day, a wise and respected member of the Multnomah community with some knowledge and history under his belt mentioned to us that there used to be "Extension Sites" long ago for Multnomah. Certainly long before MU Reno-Tahoe was established!
I won't mention any names, but I'll shamelessly plug his blog here!
This would appear to be a problem since we're calling Reno-Tahoe our first extension site...so I did some sleuthing (big thanks to Dr. Lockwood for pointing me in the right direction).
Was Reno The First?
Upon further research, we have come up with this general consensus:
- In the 1950's and 1960's, Drs. John Mitchell and Willard Aldrich used to travel to various locations in the Northwest and conduct Bible classes.
- These included at least Puget Sound/Tacoma, Eugene, Spokane, Shasta, and Reno. There may have been others.
- It is true, some expired and others have developed into independent Bible institutes.
- Shasta has become Shasta Bible College and is now accredited by TRACS (the Trans-national Accrediting Association).
- Spokane eventually was taken over by Moody Bible Institute.
- The one in Tacoma/Puget sound became Cascade Bible College and approached us for a merger in the 1990's. We were not prepared to take it over. Eventually it was absorbed by Antioch Bible Church and merged with their Imago Dei Institute.
- Reno had several incarnations, but never made it until Meadows Bible Institute emerged - which is now MU Reno-Tahoe.
- None of these were ever intended to become extension sites of Multnomah.
- Dr. Mitchell certainly never indicated that he envisioned a network of Multnomah campuses around the Northwest and West.
- He was willing to help others get a work like Multnomah started and then let them develop independently if they desired.
- Therefore, there were no Multnomah School of the Bible extension sites.
- We understand them as good-faith efforts of the early founders to do ministry in other cities, but not to develop extension sites for Multnomah School of the Bible per se.
There You Have It!
How's that for a history lesson? I should write a textbook (*imagine my sarcastic intonation here)!

Illinois Veterinary Medical Professor Earns AAVMC Melcher Public Policy Award
Dr. John A. Herrmann, recipient of the 2014 Senator
John Melcher, DVM Leadership in Public Policy Award
Washington, D.C.,
February 17, 2014 –
The Association of American Veterinary Medical Colleges (AAVMC) announced today that Dr. John A. Herrmann, from the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine, is the recipient of the 2014 Senator John Melcher, DVM Leadership in Public Policy Award.
At the University of Illinois, Dr. Herrmann directs the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine/Master of Public Health (DVM/MPH) program as well as the Center for One Health Illinois and serves as a clinical associate professor in the Department of Veterinary Clinical Medicine. He will receive the award during the AAVMC's 2014 Annual Conference in Alexandria, Va., on Friday, March 14, before more than 200 conference attendees, including veterinary college deans, faculty and associated dignitaries from throughout the United States and the world.
The Senator John Melcher, DVM Leadership in Public Policy Award, established in 2007, is given to current or former faculty, staff, or students at an AAVMC member institution to recognize leadership in public policy that advances veterinary medical education and success in advocating for veterinary medical education on a national or international scale.
"Dr. Hermann's work on behalf of public health has made the world a safer and healthier place," said Dr. Kent Hoblet, dean of the College of Veterinary Medicine at Mississippi State University and president of the AAVMC. "He understands the value of advocacy and has made it his mission to advocate for public health at the grassroots level and also in the realm of public policy. It is an honor to recognize his efforts with the AAVMC's Leadership in Public Policy Award."
During Dr. Herrmann's 25-year career as a private practice veterinarian focusing on dairy herd health, small animal medicine, and wildlife rehabilitation in Freeport, Ill., he became involved in public health issues at the county and state levels, and he eventually chose to earn a master's degree in public health. He then spent a year as a AAAS/AVMA Science and Technology Policy Fellow in the United States Senate in the offices of Sen. Richard Durbin (D-IL), a position which led to his significant contributions on policies designed to improve food safety, ensure humane treatment of animals, promote an adequate workforce in the areas of public health and veterinary medicine, and unite the efforts of health disciplines through the "one health" concept.
Since joining the faculty of the University of Illinois 10 years ago Dr. Herrmann has established a vibrant joint degree DVM/MPH program and mentored 57 MPH students. As director of the veterinary college's Center for One Health Illinois, he has also helped to form a strong statewide coalition of local and state health agencies to promote research and public engagement and to improve infrastructure for detecting and responding to health threats among human, domestic animal, and wildlife populations.
In nominating Dr. Herrmann for the award, two of his colleagues from the Illinois veterinary college, Drs. Clifford Shipley and Yvette Johnson-Walker, wrote, "At a time when public policy is often swayed by ideology and political agendas, Dr. Herrmann has served as a voice of scientific reason and logic in his advice to legislators at the local, state, and federal levels, and in his instruction of the veterinary students who will assist in the development of future policies affecting the practice of veterinary medicine and the protection of human, animal, and environmental health."
Dr. Herrmann joined the faculty of the College of Veterinary Medicine in 2004 to develop and direct the joint degree DVM/MPH program. Since 2003 he also has served as an adjunct professor at the School of Public Health, University of Illinois at Chicago and at the College of Medicine, University of Illinois at Rockford.
Dr. Herrmann earned a bachelor's degree in biology from Illinois Wesleyan University, a doctor of veterinary medicine degree from the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine, and a master's degree in public health from the University of Illinois at Chicago. He is a diplomate of the American College of Theriogenologists, specializing in cattle and canine reproduction.
The Association of American Veterinary Medical Colleges (AAVMC) is a nonprofit membership organization working to protect and improve the health and welfare of animals, people and the environment by advancing academic veterinary medicine. Its members include 35 veterinary medical colleges in the United States and Canada, nine departments of veterinary science, eight departments of comparative medicine, thirteen international colleges of veterinary medicine, and six affiliate colleges of veterinary medicine: www.aavmc.org

Anyone know how much it costs to mail a surfboard from Miami, FL to Philadelphia, PA?
Please let me know what you think
If you do freight probably 80-120... if boxed correctly you shouldn't have damage.
Depends how many pieces you cut it into to fit in the smaller box. You'll save money that way.
Amtrak is cheaper..$48..boxed( insure is .50 per $100 of value)
i just got one shipped from RI monday night
, arrived jax bch friday by noon.
been doing it for 4 yrs, never a problem.
Greyhound is comparable in price to Amtrak
BTW, postage stamps won't stay on if there's wax still on the board.
FedEx, I think around 65-75 from east to west on a short board
there are alot of options, than having a shop box and ship via ups...
(is that fedex...home or from store location?..i know in CA..if you shipped from a kinkos /fedex
to another .it was pretty reasonable)..it takes me maybe 2 hrs..$25 in materials from surf source or Home Depot
to box a 7-8'...quick 45 minute roundtrip drive to amtrak..easy peazy..
pm update...a 7.4 hull was shipped from RI to FLA..tuesday...got it friday morning...via amtrak
not a scratch...$64(w/insurance)..
you guys are lucky. I spent 300$+ shipping a few boards from cali to maui. But thats a lil different than over land.

The left, right, religious and secular all seem to agree on one thing: Israel is facing tough times.
That was part of this thing, American Express: Unstaged, where they asked people to direct this livestreamed concert.

The thing that's important to know about Jigsaw is that he tells you the rules, and if you don't listen, then you die.
Why the devil did that thing hang there for ages, and then come down on me today?

How can I think of any thing except the joy of having found you again?
It ought to make you try, to know you are the only thing I have.
In all my life I've never been face to face with a thing like this.
Old English þing "meeting, assembly," later "entity, being, matter" (subject of deliberation in an assembly), also "act, deed, event, material object, body, being," from Proto-Germanic *thengan "appointed time" (cf. Old Frisian thing "assembly, council, suit, matter, thing," Middle Dutch dinc "court-day, suit, plea, concern, affair, thing," Dutch ding "thing," Old High German ding "public assembly for judgment and business, lawsuit," German ding "affair, matter, thing," Old Norse þing "public assembly"). Some suggest an ultimate connection to PIE root *ten- "stretch," perhaps on notion of "stretch of time for a meeting or assembly."
For sense evolution, cf. French chose, Spanish cosa "thing," from Latin causa "judicial process, lawsuit, case;" Latin res "affair, thing," also "case at law, cause." Old sense is preserved in second element of hustings and in Icelandic Althing, the nation's general assembly.
Used colloquially since c.1600 to indicate things the speaker can't name at the moment, often with various meaningless suffixes, e.g. thingumbob (1751), thingamajig (1824). Southern U.S. pronunciation thang attested from 1937. The thing "what's stylish or fashionable" is recorded from 1762. Phrase do your thing "follow your particular predilection," though associated with hippie-speak of 1960s is attested from 1841.
One's particular predilection, skill, way of living or perceiving, etc: He ignored the world and stuck to his thing

CHICAGO -- One week after a judge blocked New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg's ban on large-size sodas, Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant signed into law a bill preventing local governments and municipalities from enacting their own rules pertaining to nutrition labeling of food and beverages on menus in restaurants and in vending machines. The new law also reverses to the state the authority to designate food and beverages as "healthy" or "unhealthy."
"This legislation is important for Mississippi Automatic Merchandising Association members since it ensures that the state will treat food labeling consistently. This would, in effect, prevent a New York City scenario allowing a mayor to support a designation unique or different from the state's," said Bob Holmes of Refreshments Inc. (Corinth, MI), president of MAMA.
MAMA along with several other organizations, unofficially dubbed the "Anti-Bloomberg Coalition," was instrumental in pushing for the legislation.
"The passage of this legislation not only protects consumers' freedom of choice, but it protects our industry as well," said Eric Dell, National Automatic Merchandising Association senior vice-president of government affairs. "Our members already work very hard to provide a variety of choices to the public. Their businesses could have been greatly impacted by overly-restrictive, local regulations that would have been unduly burdensome and costly to comply with, jeopardizing the survival of countless industry operations and jobs."
The bills will not affect nutrition labeling under existing federal law, which will eventually include the FDA's pending calorie-disclosure rules. A deadline has still not been set for publishing the final calorie-disclosure rules that will apply to vending operations with 20 or more machines.

NEW YORK CITY -- TouchTunes Corp. has named Charles Goldstuck its new chief executive officer, according to an announcement by TouchTunes chairman Bill Meder. Goldstuck, who was formerly president and chief operating officer of Bertelsmann Music Group (U.S.), succeeds Meder, who has served as chief executive on an interim basis since September 2008.
At BMG, Goldstuck oversaw the business operations of the company's label group, which includes a half dozen labels under RCA Music and Zomba. The labels are home to such superstar artists Usher, Alicia Keys, Whitney Houston, Dave Matthews Band, Chris Daughtry and Foo Fighters, along with OutKast, Justin Timberlake, Chris Brown, Sarah McLachlan, Rod Stewart and Avril Lavigne, among many others.
"Charles is a proven business leader in the multichannel, multiproduct environment, encompassing the fully integrated distribution of music, digital marketing and entertainment," Meder said. "He has a clear, forward- thinking strategy for the company that we are confident is going to take TouchTunes to the next level."
Goldstuck began his career in music with Warner/Chapell Music in Los Angeles, at which he headed up the Latin American division. He later joined Capitol Records, where he rose to executive vice- president, and then moved to New York to serve as executive vice-president and general manager of Arista Records. In 2000, Goldstuck left Arista with Clive Davis to form J Records, a joint venture with BMG, which was eventually merged with RCA Records to form the RCA Music Group. In 2004, he became president and COO of BMG (US).
"TouchTunes is clearly a leader in digital interactive entertainment and is one of those rare media companies that is growing rapidly," Goldstuck said. "I look forward to building on their great success."

What Do You Think About Spinal Anesthesia?
I think that the best and the easiest way of giving a birth is doing a spinal anesthesia, but I have heard that it involves some risks for mum and some people say that they suffer from backaches whole life afterwards. Has anyone done a spinal anesthesia to give a delivery? or what you heard about its outcomes?
Thanks a lot in advance,

Spinal Anesthesia definitely has risks. Some are minor, others are major. I have a friend who had the most horrible headaches for 3 days which were caused by an epidural. They were called epidural headaches. I felt so bad for her, because she had given birth to twins and I'm sure it was quite difficult to care for her new babies (feeding them every 2 hours, day and night), caring for her other child and husband, and having these awful head aches.
Anytime you you start intervening in the natural birth process, it increases your odds of having to have another intervention... and another... and another. Though the idea of having an epidural may seem like it will make your birth pain free and easy, it's important to remember that you are not guaranteed that outcome. As you say, some have even suffered from back pain and here's a video showing that one woman experienced life long paralysis after receiving an epidural.
Ultimately, your main concern is to be the welfare of you and your baby, and it can be helpful to know that women have been giving birth for more than 2,000 years, without the use of spinal anesthesia.
I found that labouring in the water acted, to some degree, like a natural epidural, and I will say that the births I had in the water were the easiest and fastest of all of my births. I loved labouring in the water, but I got out and gave birth to my first three babies outside of the water. I chose to have water births with my last 2 babies, and if I were to do it all over again, I'd have had the first 3 babies in the water too. SO worth it! No tearing or ripping with the water births because the warm water helped to relax those tissues.

I definitely consider water birth as the best and easiest way to give a birth. After spinal anesthesia my friend has backaches. I think water birth is safer for me and my baby. thanks for interesting and detailed answer.
3rd December 2013 07:48 AM #4
Dear pregtobe,
Like Kate I agree that a natural birth is best for mum and baby. By far the majority of women will be able to have a natural birth, medically speaking. Having an epidural makes it more likely that you will have an assisted delivery (by forceps or ventouse) and so makes it more likely that you will have an epistemology (cut to the perineum by a midwife or doctor). There is also a higher risk of having an emergency c-section if you have had an epidural.
I am not against epidurals completely. In some cases I think they have their place and you can still have a positive birth having had one, for sure. However, I do think they should only be used in the minority of cases.
For around 5% of women an epidural will not work (to completely numb the lower body from feeling and pain) and can leave isolated parts of the body still 'feeling'.
A water pool is a wonderful place to labour in. It provides a 'personal space' where you can 'go within yourself' and breathe through the surges (this is hypnobirthing speak for contractions) without interacting with the outside world. The warm water can also act as a natural pain killer. It helps women to relax by its association with previous experiences in a relaxing warm bath.
One point to note is that it is best not to get into a birthing pool until you are in active labour (around 5cm dilated, or having regular intense surges if you choose not to have an internal examination). Getting into warm water in labour before this point (i.e. in early labour) can slow down your surges.
Wishing you all the best,

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Rackspace ( RAX) shares were slumping Wednesday after the cloud computing company delivered in-line results for the third quarter. Rackspace reported third-quarter earnings of 19 cents per share on $335.9 million in revenue. Wall Street analysts polled by Thomson Reuters were expecting 19 cents per share on $335 million in revenue. Stifel Nicolaus raised its price target on the stock to $80 from $65 following the report though, saying it believes Rackspace will continue to grow at a 25% clip for the next few years. The stock was down nearly 6% to $62.15 in recent trades.
Apple ( AAPL) shares were losing more than 3% as concerns about future product innovation at the company weighed on the stock. Apple has delivered the largest product refresh in its history in 2012, updating the iPhone, the iPad twice, announcing a slew of new Macs, and coming out with the iPad mini as it seeks to gobble up tablet market share. The stock was off $18.70 at $561.50 in afternoon action.
Shares of American Tower ( AMT) and other wireless tower stocks were surging following news that AT&T ( T) plans to invest $14 billion in its network build-out over the next three years.

I agree with Justin. We should change it to 2.4.2 - it would just be too confusing now to release 2.4.0. Lets just say 2.4.0 and 2.4.1 were not production quality releases and are unsupported.

Robert Brock discusses 'The Diviners.' by LindseyWilsonCollege
Cast members Lake Salsbury, Erika Finley & Timothy Hoffman
discuss their roles in 'The Diviners.' by LindseyWilsonCollege
COLUMBIA, Ky. -- The Lindsey Wilson College
Theatre Program will present the award-winning play The
Diviners Oct. 30-Nov. 1 and Nov. 3.
The play, which will be directed by LWC Assistant
Professor of Theatre Robert Brock, will be performed at the
college's V.P. Henry Auditorium, 210 Lindsey Wilson St.
Set in the fictional town of Zion, Ind., during the Great
Depression, The Diviners is about a mentally-challenged
boy Buddy Layman and a stranger C.C. Showers who passes through
Zion. Written by Jim Leonard Jr., then a professor at Hanover
(Ind.) College, The Diviners was named best new play in
the 1980 American College Theatre Festival.
Brock saw The Diviners when it was first
produced, and he said "I was so moved by it back then."
The friendship forged between the Buddy -- who has an
ability to find, or divine, water for farmers -- and C.C., a failed
preacher from Hazard, Ky., is central to The Diviners.
Buddy is afraid of water because his mother drowned when he was
younger, and C.C. helps Buddy overcome his fear.
"That friendship really turns into something important
for both of them," Brock said. "There are a lot of interesting
characters that live in this town. … It's a really, really
well-written play. It's got a lot of humor in it. These are
down-to-earth characters everyone knows."
Robert said Buddy is one of his favorite characters in
modern American theater.
"I think he's one of the great characters written in
modern drama," Brock said. "You would say probably now he's
autistic, maybe autistic savant for his connection to water, being
able to find it and all."
Robert said area residents should be able to relate to a
lot of the characters and the play's setting.
"Even though it's set in Indiana, it feels like
small-town Kentucky," Brock. "There's very little distance in
feeling a relation to these people."
The LWC Theatre Program will present The
Diviners by Jim Leonard Jr. and directed by Robert Brock at 7

C-ville to Philly with the Magellan RoadMate 5265T-LMB
Dominic J. DeVito has been a member of the Crutchfield A/V writing squad since 2006. He was born and raised in Staunton, Virginia, and attended the University of Notre Dame, where he earned a degree in chemical engineering. During that time he developed a passionate obsession for experiencing music, both live and recorded, which he parlayed into a 15-year stint in record retail (much to the chagrin of his very patient parents) and a long-running tenure as a rock DJ at WTJU. His expositions can be found in back issues of Plan 9's 9X Magazine as well as Schools That Rock: The Rolling Stone College Guide. He's been to more concerts than he can remember.

Heads up!Welcome to this article from the Crutchfield archives. Have fun reading it, but be aware that the information may be outdated and links may be broken.
|The Magellan RoadMate 5265T-LMB portable navigator
The RoadMate 5265T-LMB has a lot of great features that you'll find on comparable navigators (text-to-speech, Bluetooth, lifetime map and traffic updates, a nice 5" display), but the main two I found compelling during a recent road trip out of state were the Landmark Guidance and PhantomALERT traffic camera warnings.
Landmark Guidance
The Landmark Guidance feature can be turned on or off, but the default setting is "on". With it, the 5265T-LMB offers spoken directions that include the building where the next maneuver is supposed to be performed.
For instance, when a turn was supposed to be made at a gas station, the navigator said "At the Sunoco, turn right onto 2nd Avenue." Normally, it would only say to turn right onto 2nd, but this way, I was spending less time looking for a hard-to-see street sign and was able to easily see the gas station where the turn was supposed to
be made. This was more than just a neat extra; it was a real enhancement over other navigators I've used in the past.
The one issue I could see with this is if the businesses that it identifies (gas stations, fast food restaurants, shops) change, there may be some confusion without a recent map update. This would be especially true at areas with multiple gas stations on the same intersection. But this navigator offers up to four free map updates a year, so it doesn't seem like a major concern at this point.
The PhantomALERT traffic camera warnings also came in handy when driving through a few urban areas. I didn't come across any fixed radar camera alerts, but I did get a number of red-light camera announcements. I don't make it a habit to run red lights, but it's nice to know in advance where they are just to lessen the potential temptation. The warnings could have been delivered a hair earlier in some instances, but overall it was quite helpful.
There are apps out there for your smartphone that can do the same thing, but most of them cost some money either up front or with a subscription. As far as I know, the red light and speed (radar) camera warnings for the 5265T-LMB are free for life, and there are extra warnings (speed traps, high-accident areas) that are available for some sort of added fee through Magellan's website.
Overall the RoadMate 5265T-LMB performed quite admirably, although it was not able to route me on a toll-free route that would have been considered anywhere near quick between Charlottesville and Philadelphia (because there isn't one). Also, a couple of the speed limits the navigator showed on its display were different than the actual posted speed limits for a few miles on some stretches, but that's probably another issue that can be remedied with a map update.

Besides, considering the brand of hockey that has cursed the NHL for the last decade, who would notice the difference in replacements from the real thing?'

Ribbon cutting ceremony held for Sensory Garden in Eureka
EUREKA- A garden is now open in Eureka that all people, including those with various physical and sensory disabilities, can enjoy.
"We have such a diverse population here. The more of this kind of thing that we can do to include everybody in various parts of the city, I think it's good for everybody," said Mayor Frank Jager, the Mayor of the City of Eureka.
City officials, members of the Humboldt Council of the Blind and other members of the community attended the Sensory Garden Ribbon Cutting Ceremony on Wednesday. The Humboldt Council of the Blind created the Sensory Garden with assistance from the City of Eureka's Department of Parks and Recreation. It is located at the foot of F Street, and it has 8 planter beds. The plants have braille as well as enlarged print labeling with them. Some of the plants will make sounds when they mature, and they are all fragrant and colorful. Plants will be rotated based on the season. The President of the Humboldt Council of the Blind, James Forbes, says he hopes the garden will help remove some of the stigma attached to people living with disabilities.
"People don't always understand what we do or how we do it, and this is just one way to bring us closer into the community, to bring us closer to everybody else," said Forbes.
