Got my second pair of moleskins today, two years after the first pair. What a disappointment: the fit has radically changed to be extremely generous - all the way from thighs to leg opening. From 7.9" for the old ones to 8.7" for the new ones. I will return these for sure.

Southampton striker Dani Osvaldo has been fined £40,000 and suspended for three games for his part in a touchline fracas at Newcastle on Saturday, December 14, the Football Association has announced.
Saints drew 1-1 in Barclays Premier League action that day but club record signing Osvaldo, wactching from the sidelines after already being substituted, reacted angrily to a nasty tackle in stoppage time.
The 27-year-old's ban takes immediate effect after the charge of violent conduct was proved by an FA independent regulatory commission hearing.
Osvaldo is therefore ruled out of tomorrow's third round FA Cup clash with Burnley at St Mary's Stadium.
Unsavoury scenes were sparked by Southampton midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin's yellow card for a late tackle on Newcastle defender Massadio Haidara.
Staff and players from both benches became embroiled in a touchline ruckus, with referee Mike Jones sending Newcastle coach Andy Woodman and Saints back-room staff member Toni Jimenez to the stands.
Newcastle coach Woodman has been fined £1,250 and warned as to his future conduct after he admitted a charge of improper conduct.
Osvaldo, fit again after illness, will miss Saturday's FA Cup clash and Barclays Premier League matches against West Brom and Sunderland.
He will be free to play in Southampton's home Premier League fixture against Arsenal on January 28.

In this case, designer Jean Louis Frechin disguises computer speakers as shelf supports. The unit is described as "a shelf connected to a computer that doubles as a device for audio diffusion and archiving digital music files (MP3)"—but further details are scarce and the exact nature of the connection is unknown. It appears to be wireless, which would certainly be necessary for a wall fixture of this type. At any rate, it looks pretty slick—a marketable concept for sure.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- As long as the sanctions last, the question will continue to come up: Just how much does the Penn State football team care?
If there is no postseason and there is no official way to win the Big Ten and the season wears on you at the end like it does for every team, can the Nittany Lions match their opponent in terms of motivation?
After Saturday's 45-21 victory against Purdue, Penn State coach Bill O'Brien addressed this topic. And he wasn't entirely happy about it.
When the word morale came up in a question, O'Brien spoke with greater fervor.
"Our team is enthusiastic," he said. "They are proud. I don't know. They love to play football. They love to play for Penn State."
While linebacker Mike Hull never directly talked about morale, he did say earlier in the week that he wanted Penn State to show more intensity. He wanted to see players take pride in their accomplishments on the field and thought that showcasing more energy would have a contagious effect.
Saturday was like that. Though the victory came against Purdue, Penn State had a bounce to it that has been missing since the Michigan game. With two games left, against Wisconsin and Nebraska, Penn State can change the complexion of the season by winning both. O'Brien insists they'll be plenty motivated.
"We don't have one problem with morale, not one problem with morale and never have since I walked in the door here," O'Brien said.
Career firsts for Wartman
The linebacker position has been a rough spot for Penn State this season. All along, O'Brien said they lacked depth there and it only got worse with injuries to Ben Kline and Hull. Penn State has also had to let redshirt freshman Nyeem Wartman develop.
It hasn't always been easy for Wartman. He has 29 tackles and has been an off-and-on starter, but the Purdue game was one of his best efforts. Wartman picked up his first collegiate sack and first forced fumble.
In the right corner
Defensive back Adrian Amos has been playing cornerback rather than safety for Penn State since the Illinois game. It has been a productive move. In the past three games, Amos has 22 tackles, almost half of his season total of 45. Against Purdue he led Penn State in tackles with eight and 2.5 tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks. He still talked about wanting to improve on his pass defense, especially against screens.
"Just going to get it, being aggressive and going to get it," he said.

Dog Gone Happy (DGH) is not your typical daycare. With over 17 years of experience, we are fully committed to continuing to create a safe, clean and happy environment for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and ages. The exercise our dogs receive at daycare will send them home tired, happy, and cooperative for the rest of the day. Pools, bubbles, wrestling, chasing, loving and general good times can be had for all at Dog Gone Happy! Provide your dog with the exercise and socialization they have been dreaming of!
Staff is trained to use positive reinforcement and redirection to get voluntary behaviors from our pups. We take a proactive approach maintaining a safe and fun atmosphere by teaching good doggie manners during play. Limited enrollment of 25 dogs a day ensures adequate supervision of all attending dogs.
Our days are structured. Dogs are dropped off between 7:00 and 9:00 AM. Pick up begins at 4:00 and lasts until 6:00 (late fees do not accrue until 6:15). This allows us to collapse fences and open doors, giving dogs a large open area (both indoor and outdoor) in which to play and enjoy themselves.
Regular weekly attendance by all enrolled dogs makes for a fun, stable, and predictable environment. Many of our dogs have had friends at Dog Gone Happy (both two- and four-legged) for all their lives. Once settled in at Dog Gone Happy, schedule adjustments can be accommodated.
We can't wait to meet you and your dog and welcome you both into our extended family.
We are Better Business Bureau Accredited.
Although Dog Gone Happy is a doggie daycare exclusively, many of our staff offer services (such as dog walking and pet sitting) on the side.

After working in Dharma Productions' Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani directed by Ayan Mukerji, Ranbir will be now be directed by KJo himself!
Ranbir Kapoor is currently basking in the glory of his recently released movie, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani. This Dharma Productions venture was directed by Ayan Mukerji, and now we hear that the star will join hands with the prince of Dharma, Karan Johar himself for the latter's next directorial venture.
A birdie chirps to us that after directing Student Of The Year, KJo is eager to do a hatke project and this time he wants to rope in the Kapoor scion. Karan, we hear, will fly to a secret destination abroad to collaborate with his writers and finish the script. Ranbir meanwhile will start shooting for Abhinav Kashyap's Besharam soon, after which he will dedicate his time and energy towards Anurag Kashyap's Bombay Velvet.
Karan has not titled his project yet and even the star cast of the movie is yet to be finalised. This venture is likely go floors by early 2014. And we are waiting to find out how the intelligent filmmaker will 'exploit' Ranbir Kapoor's incredible talent in this one!

A lot of fashion fab went down this week, especially at the Elle Women In Hollywood celebration. So many of those gorgeous ladies (like Sarah Jessica Parker and Anna Kendrick) looked amazing going into that event. But they weren't alone; Rita Ora, Dita Von Teese (whose look pretty much never gets old for me) and Karolina Kurková (who had one of the most striking looks of the bunch) all had crazy, sexy, cool looks. Gwyneth Paltrow also looked pretty amazing in a black cut-out dress, and Heidi Montag-Pratt… well… you'll see! Lol. Peep the gallery for more! Whose looks were you lovin' this week? Oh, and Ben Affleck looked hot too. IMO. Hot.

When Persona 3 first came out in 2007 in North America, it seemed that its music got very mixed reviews and reactions. Possibly those of us who play a lot of JRPGs are more used to often slower, more dramatic pieces instead of the upbeat, modern, sometimes almost-hip-hop tracks that you get in P3. I always felt that the soundtrack suited the game really well, that it fit in perfectly with a busy, modern-day city setting that is Port Island where your main cast is a group of high school students with packed schedules all the way up to the Dark Hour.
The main attraction of Persona 3 Portable is of course the addition of a female protagonist, and with its soundtrack only ten songs long, we can expect that a lot of the original music was kept around, although major tracks were swapped out. The first and most obvious change is the vocal theme, "Soul Phrase." This is no "Burn My Dread," but then again, the latter is a catchy and more memorable RPG vocal theme in recent memory - and one of my recent favorites. On its own, "Soul Phrase" is at best keeping up with the overall mood of the game; at worst, it is a somewhat generic J-pop/rock track whose guitars in the beginning drew me in far more than the vocals did for the entire song.
"Wiping All Out," the new battle theme, while a bit less happy than its predecessor, is similar in that it features vocals from the same group (Lotus Juice), keeps a fairly quick tempo without the ramped-up intensity of, well, a battle. "Time" is one song that used vocals well without getting repetitive or annoying, with a decent blend of piano, guitar and drums. When "After School" comes on, I can not help but just picture the character profile of Junpei Iori excitedly talking the main character's ear off about girls as they exit Gekkoukan High. Perhaps the most underwhelming song here is "A Warm Feeling" - even for slow background music, this one is rather forgettable and lost in the mix.
The tracks, some of which are only heard in the female's story, generally seem lighter and more upbeat than the original Persona 3 soundtrack, (such as Sun") and actually reminded me at times of the Persona 4 soundtrack. "A Way Of Life," one potential afterschool/wandering-about-town theme, in particular sounds similar to P4's "sunny weather" music with its laid back cheeriness. Even "Danger Zone," my personal favorite of the ten tracks, would fit in perfectly there as well as a boss battle or a pre-battle theme.
While nothing here is truly outstanding on its own, and at times sounds like leftovers from both Persona 3 and 4's original soundtracks, Persona 3 Portable's music works well for the game seeing as it doesn't stray very far from the original material. For those who enjoy the aforementioned soundtracks, you can't go wrong here. To anyone who was hoping for something new, I would recommend skipping this one, especially if the original was not your cup of tea.

BP Comment Quick Links
June 28, 2010 Top 10 WeekGeneral Manager CandidatesWelcome to Top 10 Week. All week long, various BP authors will be revealing their Top 10s in various categories. Today we start off with Will Carroll ranking the 10 best general manager candidates. A couple years back, I did a list of the "next GM" crop. It's one of those innocuous exercises that nonetheless tells us a lot about what's going on inside of the front offices. We hear about GMs, about trades, about drafts, but even in Moneyball and earlier in Dollar Sign on the Muscle, we seldom hear about the day-to-day operations carried out by a group of people that is overworked, underpaid, and most importantly, vastly overqualified. This is a group that years ago would be more likely to be putting together a hedge fund, working for the State Department, or something a bit more "important" than the game of baseball. With the money of the modern era, teams got smarter, fast. There's no one way into baseball anymore. What was once an old-boys network might still be mostly men, but it's not all ex-players. Billy Beane might be the best-known GM in the game, but he's also a bit of an oddity as an ex-player. There are not even a lot of "grinders" (as one GM described them), the front-office equivalent of an organizational soldier. It took Jack Zduriencik years to become an overnight success, but it was more the resistance of putting a scout at the top of an organization than a resistance to Zduriencik himself. It doesn't even require an Ivy League degree, MBA, or law degree any more. Instead, the phrase that kept coming back to me as I spoke with everyone from owners to broadcasters to travelling secretaries is that the one trait needed to succeed in baseball today is "star power." One GM said "the first time I met Jed Hoyer, I knew he was going to succeed. I think he should have been running a club three years ago, but job opportunities are tough and he had such a great situation in Boston." It's also clear that there has been a shift over the last few years. Scouts seem to be firmly in control of the short lists around baseball. Perhaps it was easier for them to adjust to using statistical analysis that it was for the numbers guys to go the other way. There are no pure outsiders on the list, save one special case. There also hasn't been enough time for the data warriors to make enough of an impact and then to get experience in other areas to really be top contenders just yet. Moneyball isn't dead, but it's certainly not getting nearly as much attention as it once did. There are a couple of rules for who got on the list. First, we couldn't have any repeats, which removed people who are still great candidates like Kim Ng, Mike Chernoff, and Peter Woodfork. Second, I didn't give any suggestions in the initial stages of the interviews. In the interviews I conducted, all off the record so that no one would be slighted by being left off, they had to bring up the person themselves. I did go back after assembling a scratch list and ask more questions about the finalists. Finally, there are no honorable mentions. In the forty-something interviews I did for this project, nearly 80 names were mentioned. What I was looking for was a complete candidate, one who could not only succeed in the job on merit, but would likely be the type of person that would get an interview next time a job is open (which could be soon.) As we showed the last time, we understand the type. Three of the 10 we named have their own job now, and all of the other seven is are still considered top candidates. So here they are: Damon Oppenheimer
Age:48 Scott Proefrock
Age: 50 Ben Cherington
Age: 36 Jeff Kingston
Age: 32 Jason McLeod
Age: 39 Bobby Heck
Age: 40 A.J. Preller
Age: 33
Age: 48 Sam Presti
Age: 33 Jimmy Hascup contributed research to this article. 12 comments have been left for this article.

irwin is nick the bard...actually i think FMU is all Irwin, all the DJs are just different shards of his personality... | |

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAD! Stop embarrassing me with your psychobabble! | |
Wed. 3/3/10 3:56pm
I am pretty sure all of WFMU, from the DJs to the shows to the web, is just a fever dream of Bryce. And once he wakes up, we all cease to be. | |

BRYCE is the only thing worth living for! | |

Dern. I missed Worship Me....a classic. | |
Wed. 3/3/10 4:17pm
But, Carol, you can have it FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE for just 1 pledge! | |
Wed. 3/3/10 4:17pm
I selected Amanda as all of my DJ premium choices. | |
Wed. 3/3/10 4:21pm
Danne D:
Budgie brings up a good point. I'm 99.9% sure this is true. You can request more than one copy of a premium. So you can totally do a mouse pledge, get 7 Amanda copies and send them as Christmas gifts to 6 of your friends :) | |
Wed. 3/3/10 4:22pm
Friends?! Pffttb! They're all mine! I WANT THEM ALL! | |
Wed. 3/3/10 4:23pm
Please don't make me share... ; ( | |

I forgot that you had Amanda shrines in all 7 rooms, Budgie. My bad. FMU totally supports your need to maximize the Amanda in your life :) | |

Wed. 3/3/10 4:26pm
How close are we to beating Ken? Can we beat him in the first two hours? | |
Wed. 3/3/10 4:27pm
Thanks, Danne D, I just sometimes get worried that people are going to take away all of my Amanda cds. All of their eyes and hands are grabbing.... | |

You better not be talkin' bout my little girl, Kendall! No more rides in the momvan for you! | |
Wed. 3/3/10 4:44pm
Danne D:
If you are scared of Amanda you can still call in now and pledge and get another DJ Premium. In fact you can actually crush Ken and simultaneously get his premium! How ironic would that be? | |
Wed. 3/3/10 4:45pm
When you say, "Philosophy", Keili, what do you mean by that? | |
Wed. 3/3/10 4:49pm
True story- the first time Chris and I had a date, Chris brought over the Matthew Sweet album with that Girlfriend song on it, thinking it would win points with me. I had the new Nirvana album. I'm gonna walk like an Egyptian to the phone and call in a pledge! | |

No one will ever be as good on Wednesdays as Kenny G. But both Ken and Irwin at least try. Is Kenny G REALLY too good for WFMU? | |
Wed. 3/3/10 5:20pm
Kenny G is beyond all organizations. He just blesses us when he deems it necessary. | |
Wed. 3/3/10 5:21pm
Something I learned from Reo. You can tune a guitar, but you can't.... | |

Please pull the plug on Amanda. Please. This endless fascination has gone unchecked for much too long. What possible entertainment value is there in the Amanda recordings? If there ever was any, it's long since been worn out. Please. PLEASE! Keili, are you to blame for letting this go on? | |
Wed. 3/3/10 5:42pm

If you guys crush Ken, Tommy says that he will stand on his head for a while. | |
Wed. 3/3/10 5:51pm
Tommy Gunns:
Ken is not the man he is the Woman! | |
Wed. 3/3/10 5:54pm
Hello RD. The reason Irwin is anywhere near as good as Kenny G is because he plays Amanda, and he plays her often and in excess. The way it ought to be. Irwin or Ken will never be on Wednesdays or any other day of the week anything like Kenny G. Kenny G left a huge void at WFMU. But this doesn't mean that Irwin and Ken are still good for Wednesdays, or good all around anyway. But no Kenny G. | |
Wed. 3/3/10 5:54pm
If I do a swag for life pledge at $10 a month for 20 years, is that a $2400 pledge? | |

This picture on Pinterest was my inspiration. I'm ready to commit - I love the checks!
Via |
What I have: The smartest thing I did so far was purchase white bedding. I originally bought a TON of polka fabric (and it wasn't cheap), made duvet covers myself (I can sew), but then realized I just wasn't happy with them. One room has less light than the other and my 3 year old's room looked dreary. So I found simple white bedding with navy piping from Lands' End and had circle monograms done (also in navy) on the pillows. I love it and it allows me to make simple changes easily without needing to dismantle the whole room.
I ordered the check fabric (have already gotten it and it's *so* cute) and am making Euro shams to add a little pizzazz to the white bedding. My oldest son has a red book shelf in his room (that was in my room when I was little) and I'm going to paint it navy instead. I love the "brother" artwork (planning to DIY that and put it in the Jack & Jill bath). The simple navy lamp is from Potterybarn Kids. The big monogram is made with palette wood and I plan to hang that over each boy's bed. Mr. C has lots of palettes at work so he's going to put together some boards for me and I'm going to get my DIY on and create that monogram (in tan/ivory/navy paint colors). Since I'm leaving the walls a pale blue (rhythmic blue by Sherwin Williams, identical to the color behind the navy bookshelf in the collage), I think I can get this done in a timely manner! Possibly by Christmas, crossing my fingers:)

There is definitely no love lost between Kelly Osbourne and Lady Gaga. While Osbourne says she was once a fan of the singer, things took a turn in 2012 when Lady Gaga skipped the Grammy Awards red carpet.
Kelly said on her E! show, "Fashion Police," that the move was disrespectful to fans and journalists. Things were mostly quiet until Kelly spoke up in January, saying that Gaga's fans were particularly cruel to her, telling her she should kill herself due to her weight.
Gaga responded with a note on her own website, criticizing "Fashion Police" for being "rooted in criticism, judgement and rating people's beauty against one another."
Now Osbourne has the chance to expand on her opinion of Gaga, and she's doing just that in the July issue of Cosmopolitan. "I loved Lady Gaga. I totally believed in everything she stood for, until I realized she's a great big hypocrite," Kelly says, "Don't say, 'When you see bullying, intervene,' while letting your fans send me death threats."
Kelly also questions Gaga's commitment to the gay community, saying if she cares as much as she claims, "you'd stand up for it more than you do."
Gaga has been silent on the new interview so far. In fact, she has been largely quiet throughout the recovery from surgery, which forced the singer to cancel her tour.

Conaniverse - Foot Fist Way, Wii Fit, Age of Conan, Australia, and Beyond Good & Evil 2.
Are we going the wrong Foot Fist Way? Will Age of Conan make us say WoW? Dan wants to go to Australia. Plus, which of us is most Wii Fit?
In the tradition of Napoleon Dynamite and Swingers, Foot Fist Way is another little comedy making waves from out of nowhere. Will Ferrell and Adam McKay love it. What do Alex, Jeff, and Dan think?
Baz Luhrmann is the director of some of the most visually and aurally creative films of the last 10 years. His next project, australiamovie.net" target="_blank"">Australia, has a new trailer, and the guys take a look.
This week in Video Games:
With the dominance of World of Warcraft, the MMORPG market is a landscape littered with failures. Funcom's newest entry, Age of Conan offers a refined interface, interesting world, and bold new combat system, in a single player/MMO hybrid. Is it enough to thrive? Alex, Dan, and Jeff offer up their first impressions.
Critical darling but sales disappointment, Beyond Good & Evil, is actually getting a sequel! The guys talk briefly about the announcement trailer for Beyond Good & Evil 2.
How do three rad dudes with nothing better to do look bouncing around like idiots on aWii Fit balance board? Download this week's episode to find out.

The runways have been dismantled, the models are all jetting back to the Ukraine or more likely, New York, and Paris Fashion Week is over -- but we're still celebrating. Here, based on our coverage this week, are the trends we predict that fashion victims will be incorporating into their wardrobes next spring:
* catsuits (for best results, buy one size larger than usual)
* Texas Rangers jerseys
* rowels
* labcoats
* handbags
And one that people won't be buying: gloves.

I think I threw up all over everything
I think I threw up all over everything
Oh my.
Idpa at its best.
If I was gonna do a race gun it would look something like this
I was simply referring to how the version of that KJ looks nicer with trades than it does without
i just wouldnt do a racegun
I really dont see how this could get any worse.
I think they look nice if done simply and tastefully as posted above. Some people go too far with all the compensators and pommels and cmores n' shit
I had one of those and it was sexy as fuck, why the fuck are there some big fucking huge trades on it now
To make it look more like a real SVI Infinity
holy tits batman
I like Raceguns, fuck y'all.
They're totally varying in levels of usefulness, especially in airsoft, but where else can you get away from all the black and tan and chrome without looking 100% terribad?
no this:
I win
I wonder how an ipsc champion guy would perform in a cqb airsoft match
From what I've seen, he would be completely useless. Paper targets never shoot back.
I had a scenario idea. Going to put it here because no scenario thread.
Both teams start with springers (or GBBs/shotguns in a simplified scenario). The objective can be variable. Each team will have a certain amount of start money represented by Monopoly money or some other substitute. Throughout the playing area, there could be side objectives (or simply killing other players) that would earn money. For a certain price, single AEGs could be bought for members of the team (effectively, they just get permission to use theirs), certain specialty items like grenades could be acquired, ect., all for a certain fee.
How does this sound? Can anyone help me flesh it out? I'm considering submitting this to my team captain for the next scenario game we run.
We have tried to run scenarios like that. I only play field so it didnt go to well. Plus its easy for some people to snow ball. Might work better in a cqb envirment.
Airsoft PKM ( prototype )
Winner x9
It was announced ages ago at shot show, wasn't it?
A little late.
The lack of wood makes me lose my wood.
it had wood on AATV's vid on Echo1
My shop teacher is:
He went to CQBCity and said it was kind of really easy.
Hey cardfan, can you give me a link to that event again? I heard it's going to be in the low 30s this Sunday, I wanna check what the cutoff is.
It's snowing pretty good where I am right now, and apparently it's even worse up towards Chicago and Gary. It may or may not be canceled, I do not know.
According to Imperial Airsoft's Facebook they're getting new guns that have never been sold by a Canadian retailer before. This could be pretty good as long as it's not a billion M4 variants.
Okay, it's 20 below (including wind chill) for a cancel, so we should be fine.
The forecast is saying mid-low 30s and partly cloudy.
Hang on, that event you just linked me to now is different from the one you linked me to a week or more ago.
Holy shit guys 6Sh92s are actually in stock somewhere
It's a miracle.
My parents said that they won't take me airsofting Sunday because my sister wants to go shopping. Sorry Psycho, not gonna make it.
while I was at work today I had a stroke of genius. Tactical hoodies.
It would be sort of like this:
But have elastic bits and extra pockets to hold mags, a dump pouch sewn into the back, be made out of soft shell materials, and have like a stabo rig type harness sort of built in to keep it from flapping around when you fill it with crap. Kind of like this guy:
but less ghetto and more tacticool.
You could pull the hoodie up to help break up your head outline, and keep you a comfy guy, and a bit of ear protection.
I would come in 3 flavors, Multicam with stanag loops. Digital Flora for slavshit mags. And ACU for dildos.
I don't know whether to make a joke about not wanting something you've came in or to make a joke about not wanting to wear you
this is what i get for being up so late
on a serious note, seems like a cool idea. Maybe make it like those UBACS or whatever those tops are with the built in elbow pads.
I think it'd be more cool to have it as a thing to wear under a really light chest rig (like a chicom) or tactical bandolier bag thing though, instead of a chest rig on its own.
I am delicious
It sounds silly, but some loops in the back to stop it riding up when I squat/ move/ do anything. It's cold and wet as fuck in the UK and I'm fed up of wet lower back syndrome.
It's the main issue I have with soft shells and hoodies in general, keep having to sow or just tape it down.
Other than that it's a sound idea, just would have to have either serious stiffness or tightening options as weighty items in pockets = maximum flappage.
They have Tactical Hoodies.
They're p. Tactical
tacticool hoodie / jacket?
its called a smock
they were designed to hold your full combat load without a chest harness / lbe belt
they failed horribly. british sas and shit used them in ww2
Will you make it to the March 4th event?
Except 149€ = $196
Plus it says they only have 16 in stock
16 is more than zero

New Online Game Show About Abortion
In 'Bump,' viewers choose which contestants should get an abortion and which should not.
-Faye Brennan
The actors on Bump are fake – the "pregnant contestants" on the show aren't actually with child. But the show's subject is very real. Viewers will get to decide, after hearing each contestant's story, who should get an abortion, and who should not.
The web-based reality show, which aired its first episode yesterday on bumptheshow.com and on YouTube, was created by executive producers Dominic Iocco and Chistopher Riley. Their inspiration? President Obama's 2009 commencement speech at Notre Dame University, where the president mentioned new ways of discussing "a workable solution to the problem of unintended pregnancies."
Dominic and Christopher view Bump as their creative new way to tackle the ongoing abortion debate. They hope that this approach of sharing personal stories rather than political opinions will bring us closer to reaching a conclusion about this controversial topic. But the idea that strangers on the internet get to comment on and eventually decide who should keep their baby just sounds too disturbing for us. (Washington Post)

DiscoverSea Shipwreck Museum was founded with the goal of recovering and preserving our maritime heritage. The shipwreck museum opened in July of 1995 and is the product of years of research and hard work. The museum does not receive state or federal grants and is funded only by owner contributions and public donations.
DiscoverSea Shipwreck Museum is an ever-changing exhibit that expands and diversifies with the acquisitions of new artifacts as they are recovered. Our collection of shipwreck and recovered artifacts is one of the largest in the Mid-Atlantic and contains shipwreck artifacts both regional and worldwide.

Inflation rate:Rise not a precursor to sustained uptick, but squeeze on real wages will be back on if headline growth holds steady - EY ITEM Club
20 May 2014
- Inflation rises to 1.8%, but temporary factors at play….
- …while house price inflation has cooled a touch…
- …pointing to the Bank maintaining the status quo
Martin Beck, senior economic adviser to the EY ITEM Club said on today's inflation figures:
"After six consecutive monthly falls, April broke inflation's downward trend with the CPI measure rising from 1.6% to 1.8%. As a result, if headline wages growth holds steady at its March level, the squeeze on real wages will be back on.
"We do not think this rise is the precursor to a sustained uptick. The timing of the Easter break boosted various prices, such as the cost of flights compared with April 2013, while the fall in petrol prices that we saw last April didn't reoccur this time round.
"Looking ahead, we expect inflation to stabilise around its current level or even drop a little. The effect of the pound's climb on already dampening import costs should be increasingly reflected in consumer prices over the next few months, countering any upward pressure on inflation from the economic recovery. And, despite further falls in unemployment, labour costs are set to remain very subdued, which means the effect on inflation from the resurgence in economic activity is likely to emerge only gradually. Overall, the likelihood remains high that the UK is on course to enjoy a sustained low inflation recovery for some time to come.
"Meanwhile, house price inflation, on the ONS measure, cooled a little in March, providing some respite for the Bank from mounting pressure to take action to deflate the housing market. We expect overall house prices to take on a more sustainable trajectory over the next few months. With the MPC seemingly confident that any threat of a housing bubble can be contained using macro-prudential tools and inflation expected to remain below 2% for an extended period, we are sticking to our view that a rise in Bank Rate will not happen until well into 2015."

VILLAGE OF WOODBURY - Orange County's third Panera Bread cafe will open in the Harriman Commons as soon as the late fall, said Lowell Farkas, the franchisee.
The Panera will open inside a freestanding former Provident Bank branch, Farkas said. He is adding on an additional 1,200 square feet to the building.
There is an existing tenant, a dental office, in part of the building that will remain once the cafe opens, he said.
The Panera will have a drive-thru. It's an improvement to the cafes that the corporation has been pushing, he said.
There are also Paneras in the towns of Wallkill, Newburgh and Ulster.
Farkas' project is currently before the Village of Woodbury Planning Board.

There's no escaping the sitcom premise -- mismatched couple who hate each other reluctantly forced to raise orphaned baby -- but "Life as We Know It" milks its formula (pardon the expression) for about all it can. Katherine Heigl has already done enough similar movies to warrant grading on a curve (a "Knocked Up" here, a "27 Dresses" there), so the mild revelation will be Josh Duhamel, though not to anyone who admired his romantic-comedy credentials from "Win a Date With Tad Hamilton." It's a predictable date-night diversion, true, but the stork will still likely deliver Warner Bros. reasonably happy returns.
There's no escaping the sitcom premise — mismatched couple who hate each other reluctantly forced to raise orphaned baby — but "Life as We Know It" milks its formula (pardon the expression) for about all it can. Katherine Heigl has already done enough similar movies to warrant grading on a curve (a "Knocked Up" here, a "27 Dresses" there), so the mild revelation will be Josh Duhamel, though not to anyone who admired his romantic-comedy credentials from "Win a Date With Tad Hamilton." It's a predictable date-night diversion, true, but the stork will still likely deliver Warner Bros. reasonably happy returns.
Granted, the "Omigod! The diaper's full!" gags are hardly new (Fox's sitcom "Raising Hope" is currently mining the same soiled linen), and romantic comedies tend to be dangerous zones these days for biological parents. But for young women in particular, a lot of this will resonate — including the fact that whenever Duhamel's character strips down to jog, that prospect brings out much of the neighborhood to bathe him in admiring stares. Duhamel's Eric (who goes by his last name, Messer) is a guy's guy, so much so that he arrives on a pre-credits blind date with Heigl's Holly with a latenight booty call already lined up. Yes, the first meeting's a disaster, but the two are best friends with the respective halves of a young couple (Hayes MacArthur, "Mad Men's" Christina Hendricks), so they tolerate each other while keeping up with them and their baby daughter, Sophie (played by a trio of tots). An accident later, Holly and Messer discover their friends have left them as the child's guardians, forcing them to take up residence together in the couple's house. The improbability of it all notwithstanding (nobody told them?), this leads to the requisite new-parent confusion, coupled with sexual tension disguised as hostility — he's a man-child/horndog, naturally, and she's an uptight list-maker. Director Greg Berlanti is best known for his work in television ("Brothers & Sisters," "Everwood"), and stars Heigl ("Grey's Anatomy") and Duhamel ("Las Vegas") came to prominence in that medium as well. The filmmakers have also assembled a gifted ensemble of actors primarily associated with TV, with Melissa McCarthy of CBS' "Mike & Molly" standing out as a round-faced Georgia peach (the setting's Atlanta) who gets the vapors around Messer — who, when not bedding women, works behind the scenes on Hawks basketball telecasts. The script, by Ian Deitchman and Kristin Rusk Robinson, hardly breaks any new ground, but it does yield occasional bursts of dialogue that exceed expectations. That said, Berlanti overstays his welcome, padding out the movie's length (how many musical montages do you really need?) in a manner that demands some patience, given that the ultimate destination — despite a handsome pediatrician (Josh Lucas) vying for Holly's affection — never seems in doubt. Mostly, though, Berlanti seems to recognize that between the cute baby and Duhamel's even cuter smile, "Life" delivers enough "aww" moments (coupled with the occasional laugh) to deliver its money's worth to an audience vulnerable to such elements — perhaps especially those who have pried open a diaper with trepidation.All that might sound painfully familiar or like a welcome distraction, but either way, "Life" demonstrates quite a lot about the state of this genre as we know it — and by that unexacting measure, anyway, it's better than most.Life as We Know It

TeleCommunication Systems Receives $11.4 M in Funding From US Army
- For SNAP Deployable Satellite Systems Field Support
This additional funding will enable TCS to provide support for its highly reliable SNAP deployable communications products. The U.S. Army Project Manager for the Warfighter Information Network - Tactical (PM WIN-T) Commercial Satellite Terminal Program is funding these procurements through the Army's $5 billion World-Wide Satellite Systems (WWSS) contract vehicle, which has been extended to July 27, 2012 with all deliveries required to be completed by August 28, 2012.
"Our warfighters must have reliable, secure communications systems," said Michael Bristol, senior vice president and general manager of government solutions for TCS. "With TCS' Army-proven, battle-ready SNAP satellite-based product lines and our dedicated, knowledgeable field service support professionals behind them, their chances of mission success are even greater."
The TCS SNAP VSAT systems used to fulfill SNAP program requirements provide multimedia communications capabilities which convey encrypted voice, video and data. TCS SNAP products are highly transportable and ruggedized, and have a graphical user interface that facilitates easy set-up and operation. The modularity and plug-and-play interfaces between all radio frequency (RF) and baseband configurations inherent in the SNAP product line result in communication solutions tailored to the end-user's specific needs.

Trip Start
Aug 26, 2005
Trip End
May 08, 2006
One of my favorite people in R�marov is early-thirties hardy laborer Sdane, who looks like Christian Slater's brother and who I called "Kr�l (King) Jaroslav" in another story. Recently at the bar, he looked at me with worn-down brown eyes and a faithful smile. "Justin, zat�m ze ty jses byl v Rymarove, j� nejsem naucil jeden slov od anglicky - proteze j� jsem chtel ucit ti cesky." (Justin, in the time that you've been in Rymarov, I haven't learned one word of English - because I wanted to teach you Czech.)
(Sdane is also, incidentally, the only person I know who says he has "nostalgie" - a fond recollection - for the days of communism.)
I bring all of this up because I'd like to provide you - whoever you are - with an example of something negative experienced during my travels. The conflict is: I'd like to speak Czech while I'm here, but some Czechs will only speak English with me. (I apologize if this conflict is irrelevant to "whoever you are" - if that is, indeed, your name.) Of course, there are times when I'm happy people speak English.
It's a complicated conflict, difficult to reduce to its simplest terms. I guess I feel that when people speak Czech with me they are welcoming me as one of their own. When they insist on English, then they're willing to be taught by their guest's foreign culture but unwilling to show me theirs. Sometimes I feel like I have four-hundred students in R�marov but few good friends.
Maybe I'm totally wrong, but I like those as the simplest terms. The Czech insistent English-speakers may or may not be conscious of how they make me feel; but, I usually avoid them.
I've also been guilty of speaking Spanish in the U.S.A. to hispanics capable of speaking English. In the future, I will respect that they're my country's guests and comply better to their desires.
For now, I continue to contradictorily grumble about the Czechs' thirst for globalization while teaching them high school English. And I like teaching the high schoolers. There are a lot more positives than negatives.
On one Wednesday, a student made me laugh so suddenly I sprayed water. He was fourteen-year-old Roman, a Tunisian-skinned boy. He has brown eye stars and an adorable dimpled smile, and he turns his head flashingly between one side and the other searching for a friend who can translate what I just said. He made me laugh when I asked the class if they used to catch snails when they were young. He didn't say anthing; he made a motion with two hands as if he was skilfully pulling a poor snail apart from his shell, mouthed "Pop!", and sat smiling proudly.
The next day, I was asking Brona about her favorite movie, "Titanic." Nineteen-year-old, loveable Johnny - one of four excellent students in class - had to translate all my questions into Czech for her. I thought it would be funny if I changed things up and asked the questions in Czech. Johnny played along and translated them into English. However, slow Brona just stared at him, totally confused, and showed evidence she might never respond even if class were to last two weeks. Smiling Johnny and I sighed, he shook his head, our fun game was over, and he translated the question back into Czech.
The next morning, a girl said she dreamt a line of percotine was chasing her. That shouldn't be funny, she uses too many drugs, but I just love the personification of a line of percotine.
And on the last day I taught before Christmas, I tried teaching the kids American Christmas songs. Czech students love to sing. I tried teaching them "White Christmas," naive to the fact that that Bing Crosby was a hell of a singer. My voice hobbled on every other word: "... just like the ones I used to know!" The kids laughed.
And then, in contrast, the twelve girls and two boys took off singing Czech Christmas songs. It sounded soft and beautiful and merry and romantic. They sang, "Rolnicky, rolnicky, kdopak v�m dal hlas?" (Czech "Jingle Bells") and the Czech "Silent Night" and some others. It was one of the highlights of Eng - hey! this is supposed to be English class! ... okay, just a few songs more ...
- Modern Oddyseus.
And may all your Christmases be white.
Thanks to Jarda; Robert; Kubabus; Zbynek; Thomas & Matthew Adam; and Daniel, Zvabatova, & Marek for the rides!
Much thanks to Andreka, Pavel, Cert, & the snowboarding instructors for the place to stay!
"Rolnicky, rolnicky,
kdopak v�m dal hlas?
Kashp�rek malick�
nebo deda Mr�z?
Rolnicky, rolnicky,
co to zvon� v nich?
Maminciny p�snicky,
v�noce a sn�h!"
- Czech "Jingle Bells"

What to do when you have a significcant other with no interest in the wonders of your gizmo (the electronic one). Anyone come accross cool apps or ideas to get your other half excited about the pad?
I definitely need to hear these suggestions. My wife is the least technically aware person I know. A couple of years ago I came home and she told me there'd been a call for me from Tripoli. I couldn't understand it because I know no one there. So I checked out the voice mail - the call was from the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers - the IEEE - or, as we say it, the 'I triple E'. Tim
But if you get her interested in your iPad, you will probably end up having to buy yourself another one because you may never see yours again!
I leave my wife to her choices, and she leaves me to mine. Sure, we'll listen politely and nod when one of us is talking about a hobby which the other doesn't enjoy, but we've stopped trying to evangelize to each other. We have many common interests, but we also have - no, we need - separate interests as well.
I'm in the opposite boat. My wife is an IT manager for a Fortune 500 company and can run circles around me tech-wise. She actually owns an iPad2 and works remotely with it monitoring all our company servers (worldwide). I have owned my iPad a lot longer so have a bit of an advantage there but that gap will soon close, as well, I'm afraid.
My husband is a total non-tech kinda guy. I did download the ESPN app on my iPad to show him some of the cool stuff about the iPad. He appreciates my interest in it but still doesn't have a want for it himself. I guess we just have an understanding that he won't expect me to fish or hunt and I won't expect him to get a smartphone or a tablet. Sent from my 32 GB wifi Ipad 2
My wife has NEVER had ANY interest in ANY of my gadgets or anything I like to do with my spare time like forums, bike riding, etc until I got my iPad. 2 days later I bought her one and she uses it more than I use mine, even though she said she wasn't sure if she wanted one( that in itself was a huge leap). I got mine because I saw my sisters and saw how smooth it worked for forums and the Internet and I wasn't liking my Kindle so I took the Kindle back and got my iPad as a book reader that could surf the net. She had seen my sisters as well and thought she might want to try playing with hers but then decided not to. She used to use the desktop or my daughters laptop for the checkbook, online shopping and the occasional email. Once she saw my iPad and how easy it is to use she wanted one ( didn't want to use mine,that would be admitting interest lol) so I got her one and the she started using hers for the things she used the windows machines for as well as she is now an app addict. The only time she uses the desktop anymore is to print coupons and deposit pictures from her camera onto it. She still has 0 interest in anything else I like but I'm ok with that as we spend quite a bit of time iPadding together or talking while iPadding together. It has reopened up our communication in many ways that had drifted apart after many years of marriage and raising children. I'm not saying Steve Jobs saved our marriage but having an iPad in common has been a common link to start conversations Support Our Troops! This post was Tapatalk approved Sent from my iPad
Ladies and gents, so appreciate your candor. After reading the comments I am thinking maybe of getting us each iPhones when the 5 comes out. Baby steps, you know? We also have an 10 month old who will, in a matter of another year or less, be able to play/use the iPad to learn and grow, and in order for her to coddle him in that respect it would certainly help if she at least knew her way around iOS. I already have a bunch of apps t'ed up for the little man. And there are a few things I have already downloaded for her - Grey's Anatomy App for example. Good suggestions, again I appreciate the candor.

dauernd vs. dauerhaft and the German suffix -haft
At our Stammtisch last week, one of our attendees, Edvin from Slovenia, asked me if I could quickly clarify the difference between some words. Thinking it would only be a few words, I said sure. He then reached into his pocket and pulled out a page long list of words he wanted to know how to use correctly.
I quickly told Edvin to e-mail them to me and I would work on answering his questions in this blog. He did just that and also sent me a link to his personal blog, in which he writes about adjusting to life in Switzerland in German. This is fantastic! I encourage all of you learning German or any foreign language to write a blog or a journal for three reasons:
- You'll practice thinking in German and reflecting on what you've already learnt.
- You'll look up new vocabulary that is important to you. Vocabulary is more important than grammar – remember my skiing analogy: Vocabulary is the basic moves you need to get you down the hill in one piece. Grammar is the feel and natural responses that you get over time that make you look good coming down the hill.
- You can practice the grammatical forms you've already learnt.
The first question Edvin has is: "What's the difference between dauernd und dauerhaft?" Great question that will also allow us to investigate the suffix -haft in German and allow you to expand your vocabulary.
The difference between dauernd & dauerhaft:
The first thing to notice here is the root word: die Dauer — 1. a specific length of time, period of time 2. permanence, perpetuity (no plural)
- Die Dauer des Krankenhausaufenthaltes ist noch unbestimmt. (The length of the hospital stay is still undetermined.)
- Dieses Glück hatte keine Dauer. (This happiness was short lived.)
Once you see the root of the word you can start to guess what dauernd might mean. It should be related to the notion of time.
dauernd = adjective: 1. used for something that stays the same for a long period of time, constant; 2. something that occurs often; again and again.
anhaltend; beständig; bis in alle Ewigkeit; (medical) persistent; (scientific/formal) periodisch.
1. Die Gefahr war dauernd vorhanden. (The danger was always present.)
1. Er hat hier seinen dauernden Wohnsitz. (He has his permanent residence here.)
2. Markus kommt dauernd zu spät. (Markus always comes too late.) [Not literally always, but figuratively].
2. Beim Restless-Legs-Syndrom stören die dauernden unwillkürlichen Bewegungen die Architektur des Schlafes. (With restless-legs-syndrome the continual involuntary movements of the legs disrupt the architecture of sleep.)
dauerhaft = adjective 1. permanent, stable, steady, long-lasting
andauernd; auf Dauer; (formal) invariant, kontinuierlich; (colloquial) am laufenden Band, in einer Tour, rund um die Uhr; (slang) am laufenden Meter; (emotional) ohne Unterlass.
1. Der Friede war nicht dauerhaft. (The peace didn't last long.)
1. Das Ziel ist eine dauerhafte Regelung, die zur regionalen Stabilität beiträgt und den Sicherheitsinteressen und legitimen Forderungen Israels und der Palästinenser Rechnung trägt. (The goal is to find a permanent regulation that contributes to regional stability and takes the security interests as well as the legitimate demands of both Israel and the Palestinians into account.)
The difference:
Looking at the two you'll notice that they are very similar. However, their usage is not exactly the same. Dauernd conveys the meaning of reoccurring again and again. Dauerhaft, however, is more for continual without any stoppage.
The German suffix -haft:
The German suffix -haft is often used to turn nouns (Nomen) into adjectives and sometimes to turn verbs into adjectives. It usually gives the meaning if something being "like" the noun (traumhaft = like a dream/dreamlike/heavenly)
- Beispiel (example) + haft = beispielhaft (exemplary)
- Gönner (patron) + haft = gönnerhaft (patronizing)
- Mangel (fault/defect)+ haft = mangelhaft (faulty/defective)
Building adjectives with haft:
1. Eliminating the "e" [e-Tilgung]
- when the last e is not stressed (unbetont) an n is added before the haft. For more direct suffixation the e is dropped.
- Erde (earth) + haft = erdhaft (earthy)
- Stimme (voice) + haft = stimmhaft (voiced/vocalized)
- Sünde (sin) + haft = sündhaft (sinful)
2. Eliminating the "en" [en-Tilgung]
- Only with the word schadehaft is the unstressed en dropped. For all other words ending in en haft is simply added.
- Schaden (damage) + haft = schadhaft (faulty/defective/damaged)
- Schatten (shadow) + haft = schattenhaft (shadowy/shady)
- Märchen (fairytale) + haft = märchenhaft (fabulous/magical/fairytale-like)

The beginning of email begun in the 1970's, and although it was a rudimentary system, it laid the groundwork for today's email. Email as we know it had its beginning in the 1980's and has only improved since then.
Photo and Video Sharing
Photo sharing began by services providing ordering prints online in the late 1990's, and then sites set up specifically for photo and video sharing began in the early 2000's. These sites provided basic sharing, but slowly added features until they became what we have today.
SMS and IM
Short Message Service, or text messaging, was created in the 1980's, and the first SMS message was sent from a computer to a mobile phone in 1992. IM as we know it began in the 1990's, but really exploded in popularity in 1996.
Blogs and Social Networks
Blogs began in 1994 as Personal Webpages. They were not called "weblogs" until 1997, and became "blog" in 1999. Very basic and rudimentary versions of social networks began with the internet, but did not take off until the late 1990's and early 2000's.

During clinical trials, people who have multiple sclerosis (MS) participate in studies that test new therapies for the disease. The therapies tested in clinical trials have shown promise in laboratory and animal research, but they may not have been shown to be safe and effective for humans yet. Each trial requires that a person meet specific requirements (involving, for example, age, time since diagnosis, and course of MS) in order to ensure that the results will be clear enough to be useful.
Medicines being tested in clinical trials pass through four phases:
Call the National Multiple Sclerosis Society (1-800-FIGHT-MS, or 1-800-344-4867) or the Brain Resources and Information Network of the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (1-800-352-9424) for information on clinical trials. Or visit the National Institutes of Health clinical trials website at www.ClinicalTrials.gov. Discuss with your doctor, nurse, or therapist the possibility of participating in a trial. Current clinical trials involve testing new medicines, higher doses of existing medicines, and combination therapies.

Kitchen remodeler corrects mismatched countertops
COMPLAINT: Paul Mack, Schenectady, N.Y.
"I hired Kitchen and Bath World Inc. to install a new tile floor. They also installed a backsplash, countertop and gas range. Overall, the project went poorly; the tile work was the only high point. After the first countertop was installed, they told me it would be two days until the plumbing for the sink and dishwasher were installed. It was six days. The first L-shaped counter was cut poorly. A week later they agreed it needed to be redone.
"The replacement countertop had a number of flaws, and in concentrating on getting these flaws to acceptable limits, and because of lighting conditions, I missed that the two pieces didn't match. They refuse to take any responsibility."
DESIRED RESOLUTION: "I want the countertops replaced with pieces that match or the estimated cost of new countertops refunded to me."
RESPONSE: Philip F. McGuire, president, Kitchen and Bath World Inc.
"With hundreds of projects completed to the satisfaction of our customers within the last year, it's unfortunate that, on rare occasion, our clients and ourselves are victimized by a vendor's error. In this case, a large supplier of countertop material made an error during the templating process.
"Upon being made aware of the error, we replaced the entire countertop. This customer isn't satisfied with the replacement, and I have an appointment with him to resolve the issue. I fully understand his frustration with this problem and will resolve it to his satisfaction. We are heartened that he was satisfied with those additional items that were within our personal control.
"The residential renovation business is fraught with challenges, and we do take customer satisfaction seriously. As always, we continue to strive to make our customers' experiences even better."
STATUS: Resolved
Mack notified Angie's List that Kitchen and Bath World Inc. replaced the countertops to his satisfaction and he considers the matter resolved.

Factor Ownership and Governmental Strategic Interaction
A fiscal policy of a jurisdiction alters the allocation of mobile factors among jurisdictions, affecting other jurisdictions and creating an externality. Since each jurisdiction does not take into account the externality, the equilibrium fiscal policy on mobile factors is inefficient. However, individuals of a jurisdiction may own immobile factors located in other jurisdictions. The government for the jurisdiction then considers the effects of its policy on the returns to the immobile factor located in other jurisdictions. The cross-ownership of immobile factors thus affects the efficiency of fiscal policies. The present paper considers capital tax competition as an example to illustrate the effects of the ownership structure of immobile factors on the equilibrium fiscal policy, and extends the analysis to other types of fiscal competition.

Broad economic slowdowns can often trickle down to small businesses, including those in relatively stable industries. But a downturn does not have to spell disaster for your small business.
Good financial management practices will help you weather even the worst of economic times and be ready to capitalize on new opportunities, which inevitably will come when good times return.
Begin with the basics. When times are terrific, no small business can survive without good recordkeeping, budgeting and cash flow monitoring and credit management.
Be on good terms with your creditors. Falling behind on payments is never the answer, even if it is just one time. Creditors will be more amenable to renegotiating terms with small businesses they consider to be conscientious and reliable.
Watch your receivables. You need to stay on top of outstanding debts to your company, particularly problem accounts. Be firm, but also willing to negotiate where appropriate.
Scrutinize your spending. Rather than arbitrarily slashing your budget, strive to spend only on those things that have a justifiable positive effect on your business.

Ekta Kapoor to make Ragini MMS 2
It is said that Ragini MMS, which cost the makers Rs.4.8 crore, has already grossed over Rs.6.5 crore. This has motivated Ekta to take up its sequel. "I always wanted to make a sequel to Ragini MMS but only went ahead with it because it's doing well," Mid-Day quoted the filmmaker as saying.
It is said that the makers of the film want the sequel to be scarier. "While the original showed a young couple out for a steamy weekend, troubled by an avenging spirit who goes on a killing spree, the sequel will be scarier, have more sex scenes and the horror quotient will be upped. The sequel will explore the life of the woman before she died and will have explicit and gruesome details of how she ended up killing her own family," Mid-Day quoted a source as saying.
