Almost 10 months old...
Willow turns 10 months old on Sunday...don't ask me how it happened. She is working on her 3rd tooth, waves bye- bye. Loves to play peek-a-boo. Gives kisses. Is still nursing. Loves her brother and sisters. Plays with her toys. Crawls down the 2 stairs in the family room. Plays in the toilet. Pulls things out of drawers. Puts everything in her mouth. Sleeps all night. Eats baby food as well as "human food". Is the best little traveler in the world- she rode 4,400 miles with almost no tears! AMAZING!She always smiles and is simply a joy. We couldn't love her more!

Daisy & Grace...
The girls were so cute yesterday. They put in one of my Pilates videos and completed the whole thing! (It was only 20 minutes, but still!) I thought they were adorable.

Yummy carrots...
There's something magical about growing a garden. The kids pulled some carrots yesterday to eat with lunch.

My little man...
I love Tristin with all my heart. Last week he came out to me and whispered, " Mom look." When I turned around, this is what I saw.

Celebration park...
I love Travis because he is so selfless. On his day off, he wanted to go sit in 95 degree weather and fish with the kids. Since I'm big on "family activities", I went too even though I really wanted to stay home and rest after working all morning. We drove out to celebration park about 25-30 minutes away and finally found the park tucked down in this canyon. The kids ran around chasing lizards while I wiped away pools of sweat from my body. Trav set up the chairs and fishing polls while I watched the kids frantically chase ugly creatures around in the dirt. I noticed that one of the docks was empty, so the kids and I walked over to claim it. Just as all 5 of us were about to step on the dock and set up camp, a man yelled out, "Hey, there's a rattle snake over there." " Uh, thanks" I yelled back. Come on, really? I thought. I mean I knew we were in a canyon out in the middle of no where in almost 100 degree weather, but really, a snake that would want my kids for lunch? I quickly gathered all my little hens and got the heck out of that area! We went back to where Trav was and fished for a hour, but it was terribly hot. Tristin put in line in and literally 2 seconds later, he had a fish- it was so amazing! Grace caught one too and it was adorable to watch her sitting there with her pink fishing poll and then get all excited when she pulled it out of the water. We had a great time even though we were all exausted from the heat. We ate ice cream cones on the way home and made another memory as a family!

The amazing Tristin...
Here is his final project. He did it all by himself too, I drew the circle for the head, but that's it! Isn't he adorable???

A crafty mom + the only boy in the house= 1 crafty kid...
Last night I taught Tristin how to embroider- we found a ton of floss at a yard sale, which reminded me that I had been promising to teach him for the longest time, and we discovered that he LOVES it! I couldn't find my hoop anywhere, but guess what? We found one at a yard sale today! He's been working on his project all last night and today. He can do his own knots, tread his own needle and even tie it off when he's run out of thread! I'm so proud of him. Buttons, here we come! Maybe a latch hook rug? (I loved those things growing up! I made them all the time at my G-ma's house. She was the one who taught me how to embroider.)

1st day of swim lessons...
The kids are LOVING swim lessons this year and I am loving that they are all at the same time! Grace is in the Preschool class, Daisy is in level 1 & Tristin is in level 2. Grace was a little shy the first day, so here are the pictures of her sitting on the side, then putting her legs in and then finally- participating with the class! We have 1 more week to go!

Why I adore yard sales...
If you know me well, you know that my passion for yard sales is GINORMOUS! Huge enough to take my 1 day old newborn out shopping (That was Tristin- he was born in May,so we went thrifting right out of the hospital, what can I say, it was a Saturday!) The girls were all born in non- yard sale months- Oct, Dec & Feb so they were a few months old before the fun began.
Anyway, this weekend I hit the jackpot for clothes. I literally got over a thousand dollars worth of clothes for just a few bucks! Here are just a few of the biggest saving items (yes, I googled all the prices!):
2- ski coats= .08 each *** Retail 30.00 each
1- brand new pair of girl Sketchers= .07 *** Retail 35.00
1- almost new girls cleats= .10 ***Retail $ 28.45
1- pair girl zebra flats= .07 **Retail= 19.99
2- iDOG toys= .25 each ***Retail= $ 29.88
1- triple set of scriptures (leather)= .25 ***Retail= $ 30.25
1- quad set of scriptures (leather/ no name on front)= .25 ***Retail= $ 60.00
Total Retail Price= $ 293.45
My yard sale price= $ 1.40

Goodbye Shane & Chelsea...
When Chelsea told me thay were moving to Portland, it felt like a piece of my heart broke off and flew away. I was stunned. Shocked. Heart sick. Happy. Excited for them, but mostly incredibly sad. Over the next 2 weeks, I tried to help them pack, clean, take care of the twins, bring food- anything I could to to ease the terrible load they were both carrying. I tried really hard to hide my pain, but over the next few weeks, I just couldn't control the sadness. I was even angry. Angry that we wouldn't have our Papa Murphy pizza nights, our ice cream nights, our long talks, our Target shopping trips & those amazing chocolate chip cookies of hers! My heart ached as I thought about not having her around the corner any more. Not having my kids run up to Shane and hug him, not having them there when my world was falling apart or have them around to pick up our mail when we went on vacations! I could barley think about it and when I did, all I could do was cry to my Mom, or lay in bed for awhile and let the tears disappear. Chelsea is like my sister. I love her to death and would do anything for her. Over the years, we went through so many things together. So much happiness, so many tears, frustration, excitemnet, joy, heart ache and a thousand more memories. It's been a month now and I miss them so much. I miss the twins, I miss Chelsea's smiling face and I miss watching Shane hold the girls at church. I just miss everything. I am so happy that Shane is continuing his education, but I'm sad that they had to go away to do it. I hate going over to get the mail and water the garden, because they aren't there. The house is empty and they are so many memories there. It will take me awhile to adjust, she was so much apart of my heart. I thank the Lord for amazing friends, even if it feels like my heart has been ripped from my chest. I love you guys and miss you so much!

The differences between Mom & Dad...
All Summer long the kids have heard the ice cream truck circling our neighborhood- and all Summer long I have said "No." to their relentless pleading.I reminded them of our .25 box of popcicles and almost free ice cream in the freezer, but it just wasn't the same.
The first time the kids heard the ice cream truck and Dad was home, this is what happened...
(Never mind all the ice cream I could have purchased with that $ 3.00!)
What a nice Papa...

What I love about my husband...
What I love about my husband is: that even after a long 10 hour day, he comes home and still jumps on the trampoline and sets up the tent for a camp out! Too cute!

4, 400 miles later...
It was been a very busy few months for our family and I think we are all tired of driving now. We had the most wonderful vacations and were able to see Trav's family, go to G-ma B's 100th b-day, see my brother get married, go to Portland for G-pa's funeral,go the coast twice and home to Seattle twice as well! I feel so blessed to have the family that I do. I am grateful for all of the memories we made!

Saying goodbye to G-pa Arthur...
On July 10th, my G-pa passed away. He was 84 years old, fighting Cancer and too fail to hold on any longer. My heart hurts for my Dad & Aunt Helene, as they have lost both of their parents now. We drove to Portland on Wed. July 14th and stayed 2 nights there. The funeral was very nice. We sang, we celebrated his life and we learned that he had even recieved a purple heart when he was in the Navy. When they removed the flag and began folding it, I couldn't hold back my tears. Watching the military men fold it pefectly and then had it to G-ma Virgina, was so touching.My heart hurt for Virgina as I thought how difficult it would be to lose your husband after taking care of him for so long. The hardest part for me though,was watching my Father during the funeral. As they were reading the letter he had written, I glanced over to see my Father struggling to hold back the tears. I just sat and watched his quivering chin and lips and it hurt to much to see him mourning the loss of his Dad. My love and compassion for my Father grew more in that moment.
The sad part of losing him is that I barley knew him. I have memories from when I was older, when I was in Jr. High and High school, going to see Dad, but we didn't have the relationship that I had hoped for. I sent pictures of the kids, and we stayed a night with them a few years ago,but the memories are few. I do remember him always playing the piano and singing though. We played Yahtzee when we were there, and we always signed the guest book as we entered their house. I hope that my Dad, Aunt& G-ma Virgina will be able to move on, heal, and remember what they did share with G-pa. It was a wonderful day and I am so grateful we could be there to share that moment with them.

After the funeral...
We went to Bonnie's house after the funeral for a picnic. She had the most amazing yard I have ever seen in my life. We visited for hours and had a nice time. It was a great way to end a sad day.

Fun at Bullwinkles...
We wanted the kids to have fun before the funeral (mostly to get all their energy out so they would be quiet!) so we took them to Bulwinkles and bought 100 tokens for them to go wild with. They ended up finding this game that spit out a TON of tickets, so we earned 716! I was impressed!

Cannon Beach...
We left Portland Friday morning and drove over to Cannon Beach for the day. We really wanted to stay a night there, but with Summer prices, hotels were just too expensive. We stayed 2 nights in our hotel in Portland and then drove over in the morning to save a little $. I even scored some canning jars at a yard sale! 56 jars for $ 2.00! Super Duper! We had a wonderful day on the beach. The water was really cold, but we splashed around anyway. I would pay a kazillion dollars to live on the coast- there is something so inviting, calming and relaxing about it. I miss the water terribly and know now, I definatly took it for granted growing up. We ate lunch in Seaside, drove back to Cannon Beach and went shopping and ate ice cream. It was a great day. We left around 5:00 PM for Mom's house.

Job Title: Researcher position on mosquito vectors of emerging arboviruses
A 24-month researcher position in medical entomology is available in the Amazonian Vectopole Emile Abonnenc at the Institut Pasteur de la Guyane, Cayenne, French Guiana.
Context: Present in French Guiana since 1940, the Institut Pasteur de la Guyane (IPG), a non-profit private foundation of public utility, is part of the Institut Pasteur International Network. Its missions are structured in four components: research, public health, education and services. The main research topics are focused on tropical emerging and infectious diseases, involving teams working in virology, parasitology, entomology and epidemiology.
The host laboratory: The Amazonian Vectopole contributes to research, public health and training in French Guiana and the Guiana Shield region. To date, research activities of the vectopole focused on control and adaptation of mosquito vectors, entomological surveillance, vectors of emergent diseases, and will host in the next future a research group studying interaction between mosquito microbiota and vectorial capacity. The recruited researcher will benefit from the new research platform in entomology (biosafety laboratory of level 3, molecular biology facilities, insectaries, taxonomy laboratory and mosquito collections) and a facilitated access to field sites.
Job position: A call for application is opened to recruit an experienced researcher to take over the lead of research programs on vectors of emergent arboviroses. Various arboviruses of sanitary interest are circulating in the Amazon region in a context of environmental disturbances, mainly due to deforestation, which facilitates contact between humans and selvatic mosquito vectors.
The researcher will get support of experienced staff already recruited in the vectopole on that thematic. The research work will be performed in connection with teams of the IPG and scientific partners in the region.
Minimum Qualifications require: Ph.D. in Entomology or a related field; doctoral and/or postdoctoral experience working with arthropod vectors of medical and/or veterinary significance; demonstrated research productivity; evidence of ability to establish an externally-funded research program; evidence of effective oral communication skills
Application: Please respond by e-mail to Mirdad Kazanji (firstname.lastname@example.com) with a statement of research interests and career objectives, CV, statement describing the main line of a research program, and names with contact information for three references. Application deadline: March 31, 2017.

26 Jun 2012 - u10s 2012 Season roundup 26 June 2012
The u10s finished a very successful and enjoyable
season with a well deserved trip to Supermacs. The
team participated in 3 blitzes in Kilrush,
Lissycasey and our own blitz at the Banner Pitch.
The emphasis at all times was on fun and enjoyment
and these elements, combined with gentle coaxing
and encouragement, ensured that the experience of
the Banner Ladies players was a positive one. The
girls trained since last October and all their
hard work, commitment and effort paid dividends
with excellent performances at each of the
blitzes. The behaviour and attitude of the players
throughout the season was exemplary and they were
a credit to the Club at each of the blitzes they
attended. Team Mentors Ita, Noeleen, Martin and
David would like to thank the players and parents
for their participation, support and
encouragement throughout.

While the Obama administration runs away from ACORN here in the United States it is quietly embracing ACORN overseas.
The Obama administration is using U.S. government resources to help the embattled radical advocacy organization spread the gospel of left-wing community organizing in India.
President Obama's ambassador to India, Timothy J. Roemer, recently lent his name and the prestige of the U.S. government to ACORN India's efforts to organize rag-pickers in Mumbai (formerly known as Bombay). Roemer is a former Democratic congressman who represented an Indiana district.
The website of the U.S. embassy in India displays a photograph from May 11 in which Ambassador Roemer is shown meeting with rag pickers in Dharavi, a slum in the suburbs of Mumbai. The official caption accompanying the picture indicates Roemer was discussing "ACORN India's local waste management and recycling program."
The Indo-Asian News Service confirmed in a report that day that Roemer spent time at the ACORN facility and met with ACORN India representative Vikram Adige.
The U.S. consulate in Mumbai, headed by Consul General Paul A. Flombsee, also co-sponsored a water conservation event on March 22 with ACORN India. Flomsbee is listed as the expected guest of honor at the event on ACORN India's website.
ACORN India reports to ACORN International, which now goes by the name Community Organizations International. ACORN International serves as an umbrella organization for the various national organizations conducting ACORN's business outside the U.S. ACORN International's Facebook page describes the group's mission as "building community groups in low income communities across the world to organize for power."
ACORN International is active in Argentina, Canada, Dominican Republic, Honduras, India, Kenya, Mexico, and Peru.
One of the reasons the group was created was to allow ACORN to apply its corporate shakedown techniques against Western corporations as they expand into rapidly developing markets such as India.
ACORN India's website declares that the group was created to help defend the "socialist legacy" of Jawaharlal Nehru, a leftist who was prime minister of India from 1947 to 1964. That "legacy" is "now in danger from the onslaught of the march of global corporatism," according to the website.
"Countries like India are the next frontiers of significant market expansion for multi-national corporations; and these corporations are now starting to apply extreme pressure on the government of India for unfettered access," according to ACORN India. "[The] Indian market is facing an onslaught of both foreign and domestic corporate retailers, the most notable of which is Wal-mart."
ACORN India apparently uses the same aggressive, in-your-face organizing tactics that ACORN uses in the U.S. Its website declares that since 2006 it has "built key relationships with leadership of political parties, trade unions, hawkers and farmers' groups, peoples' movements and the media," along with "community organizations, trade unions, peoples' movements and [non-governmental organizations], thus engaging progressively in poverty alleviation and urban development."

Last week the Columbus Dispatch reported that the Ohio Constitutional Modernization Commission's Committee on Education, Public Institutions and Local Government voted unanimously to retain the language by which the courts can hold the state's legislature responsible for funding "a thorough and efficient system of common schools throughout the state."
In other words, by agreeing to leave the language protecting Ohio's provision of adequate public education for our children in the state constitution, the committee charged by the current legislature to suggest updates to the language of the constitution agreed to continue protecting education through the old concept of checks and balances. While you might have learned about the need for checks and balances in your high school civics class, its importance in 2015 has been a huge battle across Ohio for over a year now.
Why was there any question? According to the Dispatch: "The 164-year-old phrase has defined Ohio's school-funding battles, including four straight 4-3 rulings by the Ohio Supreme Court through 2002 declaring the state's setup unconstitutional." Opponents of adequate funding for public education hoped to remove the language that forces our state to provide public schools that are well enough funded to serve the needs of all children.
The constitutional modernization commission's education committee was chaired by Columbus attorney Chad Readler, an advocate for expanding charter schools. "Readler, who successfully defended the constitutionality of Ohio's charter schools in the state Supreme Court," was part of the group who "pushed to trim or eliminate the language to limit the courts' influence over education policy." "He touched off the vigorous discussion in April by suggesting a change that would have required the General Assembly only to 'provide for the organization, administration and control of the public-school system of the state supported by public funds.'" By Readler's suggestion, any amount of money allocated would have passed constitutional muster.
It is possible that one reason Readler's suggestions were defeated is that in Ohio the public is becoming aware that the legislature is not fulfilling its responsibility for oversight of charter schools, virtually unregulated due to lavish campaign contributions from the for-profit charter operators.
The primary reason Readler's suggestions were blocked, however, has been a year-long campaign against Readler's suggestions by members of the public including leading attorneys and law professors, a campaign led by Bill Phillis, the executive director of the Ohio Coalition for Equity and Adequacy of School Funding, the coalition of school districts that successfully sued the state in the long running DeRolph school finance litigation. Phillis must be honored as a warrior for justice for Ohio's children. He never gives up. Thank you, Bill.

I originally planned for these reviews to be my last but I doubt it will be.I don't intend to update much anymore as there hasn't been a whole lot I can say about recent releases.Also,the internet tires me.If I get the urge I may return here to endorse something fantastic but for now I don't plan to make this a habit.Below are the last few new releases that I've picked up all nice and summarized.Thanks for reading and hopefully listening.
Malady - s/t CD
Level-Plane records
This is the release all the City of Caterpillar and pg.99 fans waited so anxiously for.I can honestly say this is a good effort,but I can see how many people may have been dissapointed.It's not spectacular but they definately succeed and gaining a new sound.I like this because it doesn't fall into the recycled screamo formula and doesn't have too much reflection on the members' past bands.Malady have a relaxing indie rock vibe with an interesting melodic approach.Even though there isn't many tracks that stand out against others,it's a good listen straight through.
>choice tracks:
the Blood Brothers - Crimes CD
V2 records
I keep listening to the song 'crimes' about "junk island" and it reminds me of this cd.I was not at all impressed.This album basically fulfilled my predictions of them turning their style into pure twisted flowery sing-alongs.The whole cd reminds me of a really fucked up opera,there is hardly any fast pace to it or any harsh vocals anymore.Johnny's voice can be compared to that of a five year old now, more than ever.It seems they took the melodic parts from Denver Max and the Shame and wrote an entire album based on it.While I admit some of the song beats are addicting,so is most of what I hear on the hip-hop channel.This disapointed me,and I know a billion teenage girls disagree with me.
>choice tracks:
(for it's sheer addicting flowery qualities)Peacock Skeleton
Takaru - There Can Only be None CD
Alone Records
Not bad at all.A band that does not stand out a whole lot musically with all the other melodic/grind bands,but has much more to them than meets the...ear.There is a lot to like abotu Takaru's short energy-filled songs,just not a whole lot of originality to be commented on.The thing that sets them apart first from bands in that genre would be their lyrics:great messages involving social and world politics.It's good to know they have something to say in their short,energetic 1 minute songs.I recommend this and their live performances.punk rock.
>choice tracks
Split Decision
Have at it Hoss
I don't need no instructions to know how to rock
the Assistant/This Ship Will Sink/Takaru - 3 way split 12"
Red Tape records
Quality 1 sided record.All the bands have great songs,not one bad track in the lot.And some (Takaru like usual) have links to places you can find out more abut what the issue is they are talking about.Every song on this includes lyrics and an explanation.These are also in excellent packaging.I know the person who put these together had a lot of work cut out and came through quite well.Three cardboard sheets banded together with string and each sheets with a lyrics sheet glued to it.Also with handmade covers,a great homemade feel!You need to pick one of these up,you won't be sorry!
>choice tracks:
This Ship Will Sink - George Bush Could Fuck Up a Peanut butter and Jelly Sandwich
Breather Resist - Charmer CD
Jade Tree records
This blew me away.I always loved Breather Resist for the heavy chaos and with their last 7" I should've expected something this amazing.Every song is unique and the album just sounds spectacular.The lyrics aren't especially impressive but they fit the sound and style I suppose.I've been able to listen to this straight through so many times.Finally a band that knows how to add to their sound without changing it into watered down shit.
>choice tracks:
As Far as Goodbyes Go

Everytime I pick up the wand to the clinic's laser light therapy machine, a little voice inside my head says, "Luke, I am your father!" And there I am standing in the Deathstar ready to take a run at Darth Vader with my lightsaber. It sounds silly, I know, but don't we all have a little Luke Skywalker in us?
I'll be honest and tell you that when I first became aware of laser light therapy I was skeptical. I was familiar with surgical lasers that are used like scalpels to remove unwanted tissue or seal blood vessels with their intense heat. But this was light!? What was light going to do? I am a person of science, data, results.....here's what I learned that changed my mind about laser light therapy.
First, what is laser light therapy? Here's some technical speak on that. Low level laser light produces photons that penetrate deep into tissues. The photons are absorbed into cells which initiate a photo-chemical response. The response blocks nerve impulses, accelerates tissue repair, increases circulation and reduces swelling. It can be used for dental procedures, ear infections, arthritis, wounds and a ton of other things. Sweet, right?
Well, O.K. So, skeptical me stays quiet and monitors the 'sitch. One of the reasons I love animals so much is that they don't lie. They don't have preconceived notions, ulterior motives or human hang-ups. Those reasons are exactly WHY I know laser light therapy works. Take Corona for starters:
Corona, is a chihuahua that has so many issues that to list them here would turn this blog into a book. However, the reason Corona's owner decided to try laser light therapy was due to severe arthritis, calcified discs & pain at the site of a previous leg fracture. Little man was on so many meds that his owner was looking for an alternative to adding more and more drugs for pain management. His quality of life was on the decline.
At the start of Corona's 2nd laser treatment we asked his owner how he was doing?....had she noticed any changes? A resounding "YES!" Corona had curled up into a ball to sleep, tucking his nose under his rear limbs! The owner couldn't remember the last time she had seen him able to do that. By the time the 3rd and subsequent treatments were done, he was jumping at his toys, wanting to go on walks and barking at the neighbors just for funsies. These normal behaviors were proof that the therapy was valid and successful. Thanks to continued maintenance with laser light therapy Corona's days of laying in one spot and watching the world go by are over. He has new vigor and quality of life that lets his owner know she made the right choice in taking a chance on a new therapy.
Since then, I have seen this therapy used in more and different ways. It seems everyday we find a new use. So beware Darth Vader...Laser light is here to stay:)

Dallas Cowboys' Most Positive Preseason Surprises so FarAugust 23, 2013
Dallas Cowboys' Most Positive Preseason Surprises so Far
Sporting a record of 1-2 this preseason heading into this weekend's home opener against Cincinnati, Dallas Cowboys' fans have plenty to worry about concerning America's Team. The training camp festivities in Oxnard, Calif. were a strong combination of surprises, both good and bad.
For now, let's take in some positive surprises to be seen from the Cowboys.
Owner and general manager Jerry Jones' infamously declared ''uncomfortable offseason" is nearing it's end. Much of what Jones seemed to want he has gotten, especially with respect to the coaching staff. Fourth-year head coach Jason Garrett is easily in the best situation he has seen as the top-dog.
The Cowboys have been able to survive numerous injuries and absences while still finding some possible solutions to previous weaknesses. If the bad surprises stop happening, at least for some time, Dallas could be off to a quick start once regular-season play begins September 8 in Arlington, Texas.
No, defensive end Tyrone Crawford won't be back, nobody knows yet exactly who safety Matt Johnson is and the Cowboys seem to have more questions than answers on an offensive line that obviously plans to throw the football quite a bit this season.
However, here's some things that could carry the Cowboys while several young faces cut their teeth in the NFL.
All stats courtesy of ESPN
Quarterback Play Overall
I have to think that the overall performance from Dallas quarterbacks has been better than advertised.
In obviously limited action, starting quarterback Tony Romo has thrown zero interceptions in his 18 pass attempts in two preseason contests thus far. The Romo-haters might counter with the fact that Romo has not thrown a touchdown pass either.
But there's more to this:
Romo's combined stats in August include 13-of-18 passing for 237 yards.
In other words, if Romo is going to get the ball down-field like this with anything close to his current completion percentage, great things are going to happen. An additional positive indicator could be that Romo has only been sacked once.
Backup Kyle Orton has been solid when he's seen extended action—he only played nine plays last week at Arizona as the Cowboys' six turnovers were simply too disruptive to get much of anything done.
Yes, Orton played a role in those turnovers with a couple of lousy interceptions.
Beyond the Cardinals game, Orton had a nice showing previously against Oakland going 6-of-6 for 52 yards and a sweet rating of 142.4—limited work for sure, but still a good sign that offensive coordinator Bill Callahan is on the same page with his top quarterbacks.
Backup Alex Tanney also performed well against Arizona last week in a second-half effort which was better than it may have looked, especially considering Tanney's late interception that killed Dallas' chance for a win late in the fourth-quarter.
Tanney was perfect for the entire third quarter on his way to going 11-of-11 before finally firing an incomplete pass with about five minutes left in the game. Tanney would finish 14-of-19 for 136 yards, which included a touchdown pass to rookie tight end Gavin Escobar—keep in mind he doesn't get the services of wide receivers Dez Bryant or Miles Austin.
Tanney has shown some chemistry with wide receivers Dwayne Harris and Tim Benford.
This is not to forget rookie tight end Gavin Escobar, who caught his first preseason touchdown against Arizona.
Could the Cowboys go back to carrying three quarterbacks?
Second-Year Running Back Lance Dunbar
Here's a name I certainly did not expect to see so visibly this late in the preseason. I felt somewhat comfortable that third-year veteran Phillip Tanner would separate himself from a pack of running backs led by starter DeMarco Murray and, probably, 2013 fifth-round draft pick Joseph Randle.
In large part, Tanner actually has.
While Tanner has run rather well this preseason, former North Texas running back Lance Dunbar is showing some definite play-making ability that the Cowboys probably can't ignore concerning the 53-man roster.
Dunbar had just two carries last week against the Cardinals, but he caught two passes for an eye-popping 61 yards. His longest of 43 yards, which ended in a freak fumble recovery for Arizona, came extremely close to being a touchdown. His following 18-yard catch just before halftime kept the chains moving towards a scoring drive that never happened—remember all of those turnovers committed in that game.
Dunbar carried three times for 21 yards against the Raiders and added three catches for 15 yards, still taking in at least five yards per catch.
Dunbar was impressive against Miami in the Hall of Fame game in Canton. His four carries for 22 yards was modest in total yards, but his average per rush looked good. He added a catch for seven yards.
It seems the Cowboys might be tempted to use the second-year, undrafted running back as their own version of Darren Sproles. These two runners are similar in build and are both quick and talented enough to provide some spark on special teams as well as out of the backfield.
Remembering that Dallas released fullback Lawrence Vickers prior to training camp, is it possible that the Cowboys could decide to carry four running backs?
It will be interesting to see if Dunbar can bounce back from his current injury issues in time to play against the New York Giants in the opener.
Transition to 4-3 Defensive Front
Say what you will about the overall defensive performance of the Cowboys this preseason, one that hasn't been stellar, but if you look in the right places, there's a lot to like so far.
Despite the absence of Pro Bowl pass-rushers DeMarcus Ware and Anthony Spencer, the starting units have played well against the run and have also created some big turnovers early in games.
The first half performances, for the most part, look pretty exciting when you calculate the expected return of the aforementioned defensive ends.
Important to remember is exactly how much stronger the linebacker position is with the Cowboys now.
Personnel seemed pretty good on paper, but the now-scrapped 3-4 alignment often had weaknesses exposed, such as a smallish defensive line.
First-year defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin now has play makers returning to a system that is both more practical and also more familiar to linebackers Sean Lee and Bruce Carter. These two linebackers are both second-round picks that would have likely be chosen much earlier if not for injury concerns.
Both players excelled in 4-3 systems that will be similar to what they'll be involved with now.
Lee and Carter, if healthy, will push Dallas into the playoffs, barring other unforeseen events. While everyone knows what Lee is all about—the Cowboys just extended the former Penn State star with a six-year, $42 million contract extension—it's also going to be interesting to see what kind of impact Carter brings in Kiffin's system.
Carter has the ability to be used like Derrick Brooks was in Tampa Bay while with the Buccaneers—and in the exact same system Kiffin still uses. A quick look at Carter's college highlights at North Carolina offers a glimpse of how this third-year veteran might charge the Dallas defense upon opening kickoff.
If the front seven keeps pace, the Dallas secondary could have a couple of Pro Bowl defensive backs in 2013.
Ratliff Hearing Postponed
Training camp has come and gone and defensive tackle Jay Ratliff has yet to hit the field due to a hamstring injury just before camp opened.
But the nine-year veteran started last offseason with a DWI arrest in January.
DallasCowboys.com staff writer Nick Eatman reports that the trial for Ratliff has been moved to next February, apparently clearing the way for his participation in 2013, if healthy.
It's simple: The Cowboys need Ratliff and they will at least have the privilege of playing him since there won't be any executive action from the NFL or the franchise until then—funny how that timing works out. Super Bowl XLVIII is February 2, 2014 and then Ratliff goes to trial about three weeks later.
A healthy Ratliff might mean close to a dozen sacks for a Dallas defense that has not been considered a strength for years. They were never a shutdown unit during the 3-4 era from 2005 to 2012.
Ware and Spencer will draw the most attention early on where the defensive line is concerned. Chances are better than not that Ratliff is going to exploit some weaker interior linemen, especially early in the season.
I'm not going to compare Ratliff to Hall of Fame defensive tackle Warren Sapp, another former Buccaneer who flourished in Kiffin's system in a Super Bowl championship climate for several seasons. Ratliff doesn't have the mass that Sapp had, but his quickness is a huge problem for opposing pass protection.
Ratliff couldn't offer the same effectiveness in the former 3-4 schemes because he played too much nose guard—he was usually the smallest one in the league.
Well, four defensive linemen are better than three. Ratliff could have a huge comeback season if he's healthy and the rest of the defense follows suit.
Head Coach Jason Garrett
Whether he's actually coaching for his life or not, Garrett is likely not sitting on as warm a seat as we might think. I'll concede that a very large telecommunications company now wants Cowboys games broadcast on television in the Dallas-Fort Worth area like never before. In other words, potential blackouts due to a poor start and lower attendance won't be welcomed.
See, those games appear on equally large television networks that like getting those advertising dollars from said communications giant. Visibility is huge.
Yes, Garrett is motivated to remold his image following Jones' ''uncomfortable'' offseason. Exactly what this motivation is, be it employment or ambition, is anybody's guess.
One thing is for sure: Garrett is trying to engage the entire football team as a first-time head coach free of dealing with offense play-calling. Garrett appears to be a little looser, more relaxed—he even looks like he got some sun while in California.
Garrett allowed Peter King of SI.com to record his opening address to his team as training camp opened last month and even I didn't expect him to be as bold, at least at a few moments during the recording.
Perhaps Garrett is finally getting more comfortable as a coach, at any level. Remember that Garrett essentially went right from playing to coaching following his retirement after the 2004 regular season. Garrett would serve two seasons as quarterbacks coach in Miami before landing in Dallas as offensive coordinator, and obvious future head coach, in 2007.
Experience is a good thing, especially when you want to win football games. Now able to focus on the entire football team while armed with numerous assistants that have also had considerable success, Garrett should certainly feel a degree of comfort, perhaps beyond what one might expect after the kind of offseason he's been through.

Canine Celebrities
Susan Orlean, a New Yorker writer, best known for The Orchid Thief, a non-fiction account of John LaRoche and his band of Seminoles that poached orchards in south Florida, has now written a biography of Rin-Tin-Tin and his many descendants. One reviewer ("Rin Tin Tin: The Life and Legend," Christian Science Monitor, Sept. 27, 2011) wrote: the "unfurling narrative of Susan Orlean's Rin Tin Tin, about the canine movie star, unleashes a cultural history of German shepherds and the changing role of dogs from farm workers to war heroes to pets; the evolution of the motion picture industry from silents to talkies to television; and an exploration of why some cultural icons continue to beguile. " Place a hold on this unique bio.
While Orlean's wide-ranging curiosity is a delight, I also wondered what other canines – famous or otherwise – have merited their own bios. Here are a few:

George Osborne's statement was less a 'Budget' and more a 'State of the Union' address. By ranging widely over education and health policies, he was setting out his pitch to be the next leader of the Conservative Party and in the process sidestepping Nicky Morgan, Secretary of State for Education and a potential leadership rival.
These announcements were also an attempt to deflect from the problems of his own making. The upbeat economic message for the 2015 election helped to win the Conservatives a majority but by using the OBR 'bonus' in last year's Comprehensive Spending Review to wrong-foot Labour on tax credits and police spending, he limited his room for manoeuvre this time around especially given the OBR's downward revisions to growth.
However it was also clear from his figures that the 'jam' will not come tomorrow but instead will be in a very large jar exactly at the time of the next General Election.
Chancellor George Osborne has unveiled a tax on the makers of sugary soft drinks to tackle childhood obesity.He revised down the UK's growth forecast in his eighth Budget and sparked controversy by warning of the risks to the UK economy of EU exit.He said the UK was "well placed" to handle a "dangerous cocktail" of global economic risks if "we act now so we don't have to pay later".Labour said it was a Budget with "unfairness at its very core".

Judges Rogers, Blatt and Craig, sitting as a panel of three. Opinion by Judge Craig.
Author: Craig
[ 73 Pa. Commw. Page 341]
Mobilfone of Northeastern Pennsylvania, Inc. appeals an order of the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PUC), adopting the decision of an administrative law judge (ALJ) to grant the application of Hazle-Tone Communication, Inc. for a certificate of public convenience to provide one-way and two-way radio common carrier service*fn1 to the public within the reliable service area of a transmitter located approximately one mile northeast of the City of Hazleton.
[ 73 Pa. Commw. Page 342]
Mobilfone, Lehigh Valley Mobile Telephone Co., and Schuylkill Mobilfone, Inc. filed protests to Hazle-Tone's application; Lehigh and Schuylkill subsequently withdrew their protests.*fn2
The ALJ held hearings on October 9, November 19 and 20, 1979, January 28, 29, March 26, 27 and May 1, 1980. On May 9, 1980, in a separate application by Hazle-Tone to transfer certificate rights owned by Charles B. Shafer t/a Radio Paging of Northeastern Pennsylvania, the PUC entered an order granting Mobilfone's petition for rehearing, reconsideration and rescission, and remanded that case to the presiding ALJ for further hearings on the issue of Hazle-Tone's financial fitness. Because that May 9, 1980 remand order involved matters relevant to this case, the ALJ also reopened the record in Hazle-Tone's application that is now before us, consolidating the transfer application and this application in one hearing, because the testimony regarding the financial fitness of Hazle-Tone was equally relevant to both applications.*fn3
ALJ Cohen issued an initial decision in this certificate of public convenience application, recommending approval of Hazle-Tone's application on April 23, 1981, and on June 19, 1981, Judge Cohen issued his final opinion, again recommending approval of Hazle-Tone's
[ 73 Pa. Commw. Page 343]
application. On August 21, 1981, the PUC adopted that decision, and on September 15, 1981, Mobilfone filed this petition of review.*fn4
Under the Public Utility Code, 66 Pa. C.S. § 1103, the PUC may grant a certificate of public convenience only if the "granting of such certificate is necessary or proper for the service, accommodation, convenience, or safety of the public," and the applicant bears the burden of demonstrating: (1) a public need for the proposed service, (2) the inadequacy of existing service, and (3) the financial and technical capacity to meet the need in a satisfactory fashion. Mobilfone of Northeastern Pennsylvania, Inc. v. Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission, 40 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 181, 397 A.2d 35 (1979).
Our court, in Gettysburg Tours, Inc. v. Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission, 42 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 399, 400 A.2d 945 (1979), reconciled the split of judicial authority concerning whether an applicant must always show that the existing service is inadequate. We held there that where the proposed service is different than the existing service, the applicant need not establish inadequacy of existing service in order to secure a certificate of public convenience, and that proof of public necessity for the service alone may support the certificate. However, where the proposed service is identical to existing service, a showing of inadequacy is required.
[ 73 Pa. Commw. Page 344]
Mobilfone alleges that the PUC should have required Hazle-Tone to prove that the existing service was inadequate. Mobilfone contends that the ALJ, whose final opinion said that Mobilfone did not provide two-way service in the applicant's proposed area, thereby contradicted the finding in his initial opinion that Mobilfone did engage in two-way service in a small portion of Hazle-Tone's proposed area.*fn5 Mobilfone contends that this discrepancy, and the ALJ's failure to consider that ...

For those reasons snake fanciers long have sought to add the reptile to their stocks, collecting it to the point of threatening its existence. And just when government regulations have curtailed much of that pet trade, the snake now must deal with another problem -- development that is eroding its habitat.

If you wanted to run 31 inch tires on a Toyota Tacoma would you want to put them on 15" or 16" rims?
4 Answers
I would do 16 inch as some 15 inch wheels do not clear the calipers. However most 16 inch tires come in metric sizing so you won't be able to get one that actually says 31 on the sidewall. But you can of course get a metric tire that is approx. 31 inches tall.
You will probably need a lift kit or something else, fender flares... body work etc to make them fit
Body work for 31 inch? Not needed. I've seen lots of people fit 35's while stock. They do have rubbing issues though. 33 inch is a good number. I have 33's and a 3 inch lift (though I believe they will still fit without a lift) and only rub slightly on the frame when tightly turning. If I'm flexed out in just the right way they will also rub on the bolt head of my rear left fender flare. Really...taking away the flares would help with rubbing, not adding them on.
A 31" tire will fit without changing anything. I have a 2003 prerunner with 265/70r/16 which is a 31" tall tire. they will fit on a stock rim and protect the rim beads

I am writing on WordPress after a long time. What prompted me is not the fact that I was missing it (sorry) but the fact that I have no one to hear me out.
They say, depression is a state of mind and we all should contribute in helping the person out. But in real, how many actually do it? For the few handful who try to, I see they too are not constant with their effort. After a while, they themselves become a source of stress unintentionally, because they lose their patience on certain occasions and it all comes straight out on the person who needed their help.
The below pictures are somewhat similar to what's in my mind since some time, and so I am sharing them here (ofcourse, with minimal expectations of any reaction). I have no one to talk to, no one to lend me a…

Her papa bought her a big teddy bear, and I bought her a musical box. She really loves the teddy bear. Her papa was doubtful if she wouldn't like the teddy. But she jumped with happiness when she saw it, then after gomol-gomol with the bear, she gave her papa a kiss. So lovely of her.
On Tuesday, early morning cam nak pegi jogging. Tapi buat detour pergi cari breakfast. Me and my hub don't know where we can get good breakfast in Klang or Shah Alam. At last we landed kat gerai depan Wet World, Shah Alam. Ramai orang kat situ, tapi sebab satu gerai je yang bukak, dah tentu lah sume orang pegi situ termasuk kitorang yang ketandusan nak makan breakfast pagi-pagi. Tengah-tengah syok makan, perut bagi warning plak. Kena cut short, dan terus balik rumah. Lama gak nak tahan....
Balik rumah, perut dah okay plak. We did spring cleaning a room which used to be our maid's. Since our maid ran away, the room turned to a store room. Semua barang (tools, mesin rumput, broken chairs, EVERYTHING) kitorang campak kat bilik tu.., tutup pintu..ta daa... ruang lain kemas. Barang-barang yang tak guna dah dibuang. And now the room is ready for the next maid yang tak kunjung tiba. (Dah serik ambik maid dah).....
Conclusionnya..... jiwa tenang bila rumah kemas.

The USA Bid Committee mailed letters last week to public officials and stadium operators in metropolitan markets across the United States in an initial step toward preparing a formal bid to play host to the FIFA World Cup in 2018 or 2022.
In all, 70 stadiums in more than 50 metropolitan markets are under consideration, ranging in market size from New York City, where the new Meadowlands Stadium will open in 2010 in nearby East Rutherford, N.J., to college town markets such as Lincoln, Neb., and Fayetteville, Ark.
Two Indiana venues on the list are the Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis and the stadium at the University of Notre Dame at South Bend.

Head & Shoulders is where Nizoral comes from...
If only I knew then what I know now...
Way back in the early 1960s my father had a client who used H&S and her hair fell out. So she sued. My mother would always say "that client of your father's had stuff falling off of her all the time. Her hair, her glasses, her teeth and her dress. Had it just been her dress he would have have gone after her. But even your father had some standards."ReplyDelete

Truth Before Relevance
By Roger Scruton, a writer and philosopher who lives in England. He is the author of "An Intelligent Person's Guide to Modern Culture" (St. Augustine Press, 2000).
T he death, on Christmas Day, of Willard Quine deprives America of its greatest contemporary philosopher. It also prompts us to reflect on the place of philosophy -- or at any rate of Quine's kind of philosophy -- in American culture.

NPR has three strategies to be successful. One of these strategies is to focus on on local coverage. In a world of dying media sources (newspapers especially) NPR feels it is very important to focus on local happenings in order to peak the interest of local media consumers. I think that this is a good idea because if you focus on the locals, it will peak their interest because they are directly affected by the information that is being put out.
The second strategy is to focus on social media. I think that this is also a good idea especially for getting in touch with local audiences, particularly the youth. So many people use social networking to stay in touch with current events. For example, when Michael Jackson died, so many people were using Twitter to alert their followers of his death, Twitter crashed. If NPR can find a way to harness social media, they will have the attention of a lot of people.
The third approach to media domination is that NPR make sure their information is available in a variety of ways. This allows people to choose how they want their information and when and where they get it.
In relation to my blog, i could blog about local events and news. I could post the link on my Twitter or Facebook to get the info out there in more ways. I think that applying these tactics would make my blog more popular and enjoyable for my readers.

80's Music Analysis
"Don't You Want Me," was written by Human league's lead vocalist Philip Oakey, background singer Adrian Wright as well as keyboardist Jo Callis. This song was unusual in that one of the female backing singers took a lead role, as the song was structured as a duet.The Human League thought of themselves as very cutting-edge, their music was based on electronic sounds and considered guitars "archaic and antique." Lead singer Phil Oakey has been quoted as saying this song is not a love story but more,"a nasty song about sexual power politics." Oakley originally didn't want "Don't You Want Me" released as a single because they felt it to be to mainstream, he could have never imagined the international success the song has gained.
This song is about a guy who meets a cocktail waitress, falls in love with her and turns her into a star, but soon after their love deteriorates. Through the duet you are able to see both sides of the story, the man has a more chauvinistic attitude towards the woman while the woman has her own newfound sense of independence from their relationship. The constant repetition of " Don't you want me baby," signifies the feelings of lost love as well as the following lines: "You know I don't believe you when you say that you don't need me, It's much too late to find You think you've changed your mind
You'd better change it back or we will both be sorry"
Those last lines represent a mutual feeling of love as well as resentment, neither party will admit whether or not their dependent on the other, but they can admit there will be a synthpop, the lead male vocals have little to no vibrato and are very clear articulation of the lyrics. The instruments used to create this piece included a synthesizer as well as a keyboard and an MCI console. The lead female vocals run along the border of being sung and talked, there is little dynamic and the pronunciation of the lyrics are very clear as well. The...

We still have to find a proper table cloth, but we couldn't find one we liked.

How To Improve Crushing Effect Of Jaw Crusher? - Industrial Equipment Classified Ads in Seattle
jaw crusher machine
Through analysis and comparison, we find that the crushing efficiency is at least 10% higher if jaw crusher has another three small teeth. What?s more, dust is less. During the working process of jaw crusher, impacting load is very frequent. Mineral stones frequently hit the toothed plates. Fixed toothed plates are easy to become loose during the working process.
If toothed plates are loose, working efficiency of jaw crusher machine will be seriously influenced. What?s worse, since mineral stones stay in the crushing cavity for a much longer period, a lot of dust will produce due to the multiple abrasion between mineral stones and toothed plates. Therefore, to decrease dust from source, we must make the toothed plates stable and reliable.
To reduce the dust production, we need to immediately change the blunted teeth plates. If teeth become blunted, contacting area will be enlarged. More seriously, a lot of dust will produce. To make jaw crusher work at the best condition and control the dust production, we should properly lift the discharging mouth.
Under the premise to keep the working capacity, we should properly improve the hauling speed. To serve you better, we suggest you to leave your demands on our website directly. Then, we have our sales manager to contact with you!

DANIEL SNYDER, PLAINTIFF-APPELLANT,v.DAWN SNYDER, DEFENDANT-RESPONDENT.
Appeal from an order of the Supreme Court, Erie County (Paula L. Feroleto, J.), entered July 29, 2008. The order denied the motion of plaintiff seeking, inter alia, to disqualify the law firm of Hogan Willig from representing defendant.
Published by New York State Law Reporting Bureau pursuant to Judiciary Law § 431.
This opinion is uncorrected and subject to revision before publication in the Official Reports.
It is hereby ORDERED that the order so appealed from is unanimously affirmed without costs.
Supreme Court properly denied plaintiff's motion seeking, inter alia, to disqualify the law firm of Hogan Willig from representing defendant after plaintiff's former attorney, Nelson F. Zakia, merged his practice with that law firm. A party seeking to disqualify an opponent's attorney must establish "that there was a prior attorney-client relationship; that the matters involved in both representations are substantially related; and that the present interests of the attorney's past and present clients are materially adverse" (Falk v Chittenden, 11 NY3d 73, 78; see Tekni-Plex, Inc. v Meyner & Landis, 89 NY2d 123, 131, rearg denied 89 NY2d 917). Defendant does not dispute that plaintiff has established the existence of all three requirements but contends that plaintiff consented to the conflict of interest. We agree. Pursuant to Code of Professional Responsibility DR 5-108 (a) (22 NYCRR 1200.27 [a]), a client may provide consent to a conflict of interest after full disclosure (see St. Barnabas Hosp. v New York City Health & Hosps. Corp., 7 AD3d 83, 90-91; see also Yasuda Trust & Banking Co. [N.Y. Branch] v 250 Church Assoc., 206 AD2d 259). In support of his motion, plaintiff admitted that he discussed the possibility of waiving the conflict of interest with Thomas D'Agostino, Esq., the attorney he retained after discharging Zakia. In opposition to the motion, Zakia averred that D'Agostino had advised him that plaintiff had consented to the merger of Zakia's practice with Hogan Willig and agreed to waive any conflict of interest resulting from that merger. Contrary to plaintiff's contention, D'Agostino had the apparent authority to inform Zakia and Hogan Willig of plaintiff's consent and waiver (see generally Hallock v State of New York, 64 NY2d 224, 231; Vafakos v Knight, 41 AD3d 140). Contrary to the further contention of plaintiff, his consent was made after full disclosure by Zakia and Hogan Willig, at which time he "had all the information [he] needed to make an informed decision" (St. Barnabas Hosp., 7 AD3d at 94). We thus conclude that defendant established as a matter of law that plaintiff is not entitled to disqualify the law firm hired by defendant to represent her (cf. Falk, 11 NY3d at 77-78).

A Healthy Mind for a Healthy Population: The U.S. Health Care System Must Pay More Attention to Providing Quality Care to People with Mental Problems or Substance-Use Conditions
England, Mary Jane, Page, Ann E. K., Issues in Science and Technology
Each year, more than 33 million U.S. residents receive health care for mental problems and/or for conditions resulting from the use of alcohol, illegal drugs, or prescription medications. The total comprises approximately 20% of working-age adults, a nearly identical portion of adolescents, and 6% of children. Millions more people need care but for various reasons do not receive treatment. For example, although more than 3 million people aged 12 or older received treatment in 2003 for alcohol or drug use, more than six times that number--9% of this age group--reported abusing or being physiologically dependent on alcohol, illicit drugs, prescription drugs, or a combination of these.
Mental problems and substance-use conditions (M/SU conditions, for the sake of convenience) frequently occur together. They also accompany a wide variety of general medical conditions, such as heart disease, cancer, and diabetes, and thereby increase risk of death. For example, approximately one in five patients hospitalized for a heart attack suffers from major depression, and such patients are roughly three times more likely to die from their heart problems than are patients without depression.
Even among people who receive treatment for their M/SU conditions, many often get care that is contrary to what science has shown to be appropriate. Clinicians' departures from evidence-based practice guidelines have been documented for conditions as varied as attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, anxiety disorders, conduct disorders in children, depression in adults and children, opioid dependence, use of illicit drugs, comorbid mental and substance-use illnesses, and schizophrenia. These deviations from standards of care can result in significant harm to patients.
Collectively, M/SU conditions rank as the nation's leading cause of combined disability and death among women and the second highest among men. The conditions also impose great costs on the economy through increased workplace absenteeism, "presenteeism" (attending work with symptoms that impair performance), days of disability, and significant work failures and accidents. Among children, the conditions adversely affect educational achievement. In sum, M/SU conditions make large and costly demands on the nation.
Clearly, the United States has failed to recognize the magnitude of M/SU conditions and to deliver adequate health care to people in need. To help remedy matters, the Institute of Medicine in early 2006 issued a report detailing the distinctive features of mental and substance-use health care and offering a comprehensive agenda for improving such care.
The report builds on a previous pioneering IOM report, Crossing the Quality Chasm: A New Health System for the 21st Century, issued in 2001, that reviewed the nation's general health care system, chronicled its shortcomings, and called for its fundamental redesign. The new report, Improving the Quality of Health Care for Mental and Substance-Use Conditions, finds that its predecessor's conclusions are equally true for M/SU health care. Overall, the system often is ineffective, untimely, inefficient, inequitable, and not patient-centered. At times, it is even unsafe. As is true of general health care, M/SU health care requires fundamental redesign.
In redesigning the system, the guiding principle must be that mental illnesses, substance-use illnesses, and general illnesses are highly interrelated, especially with respect to chronic illness and injury. Improving care delivery and health outcomes for any one of the three depends on improving care delivery and outcomes for the others. A corollary principle is that health care for general, mental, and substance-use problems and illnesses must be delivered with an understanding of the inherent interactions between the mind/brain and the rest of the body.
Redesigning the health care system that tends to people with M/SU conditions will require concerted actions by a host of parties. …

Im lately really into ubuntu and learning allot about it for the past 3 months. I have my server up and running but now I want some more where google didn´t give me what I wanted.

While Prop. 8's sponsors attempt to frame their supporters as benign parents and family members motivated by their faith and concern for their children, the marriage equality side is working to expose the more sinister picture of fearmongers appealing to prejudice. Their prime example has been William Tam, who sent a letter to churchgoing supporters during the Prop 8 campaign warning that "other states would fall into Satan's hands" if Prop. 8 lost. They plan to call Tam as a witness this week. [Link]

FOR TODAY Outside my window… there are hailstones the size of golf balls!The noise as they hit the window is incredible.
I am thinking… too many thoughts. So many ideas and plans for the future all running around like crazy I am thankful… for my notebooks and coloured gel pens to help me make sense of all those thoughts
In the kitchen… the breadmaker is tinging and the smell of vegetable hotpot in the slow cooker is making me feel very hungry
I am wearing… butterfly clips in my hair to cheer me up. I am creating… a new space in what is currently my office but will become a whole new place to be soon
I am going… to be leaving my current job in the next wee while and it is very exciting.
I am wondering… how life will be once my routine of the last 4 years changes
I am reading… How to do everything and be happy!
I am hoping… that a couple of my friends find some peace of mind and a way to live happily
I am looking forward to… taking a group of school children on a skiing trip to Bad KleinKircheim
I am learning…… to just be myself.
Around the house… there is far too many things to do but organisation is the key
I am pondering… the possibility of a new website purchase
A favorite quote for today… Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life. Confucious
One of my favorite things… sitting on the sofa with Max at my feet snoring gently and the radio playing in the background
A few plans for the rest of the week: To be happy, to be kind to others and to live every moment.
A peek into my day…

Which sofa material should I purchase?
Buying a sofa is a big decision. It's a big investment that will hang around for quite a while. Generally, the size of the couch depends on the room in which it lives. The material is up for discussion. Which sofa material would be best for you? American Freight Reviews will help you weigh the pros and cons of microfiber, bonded leather, and chenille sofa materials.
The reason microfiber is a popular sofa material is that it cleans easily. Anyone with children or clumsy friends will not have to worry. Spills and messes clean up easily. Microfiber couches are also durable, which means that they last a long time and require little maintenance. If prone to allergies, a microfiber couch would be best. They do not collect dust due to their fine fibers. Microfiber couches are prone to static, which is only problematic with pets that shed.
Bonded Leather
An affordable, luxurious sofa material is bonded leather. On average, bonded leather is about two-thirds the cost of genuine leather furniture. If you have your sights set on an expensive leather sofa, consider bonded leather to keep the price point in check. Another benefit of this material is that it recycles leather scraps that would not have been used previously. Bonded leather is available in various colors, allowing you to customize your sofa to your home.
An elegant chenille sofa, a traditional sofa material, is the perfect statement piece for your living room. Chenille is an extravagant material, but not as tough as microfiber. To clean chenille couches, gently use a vacuum with a brush. Rayon is a sturdy material that is blended with chenille in order to make the material longer-lasting. As rayon is weakened by sunlight, consider chenille sofas made of acrylic of olefin fibers in order to resist fading due to the sun. Chenille sofas are soft and comfortable with various patterns and textures. Enjoy the various design possibilities while tailoring your chenille sofa to your home design.

Writer Rob Salerno was visiting Vancouver from Toronto last week and sat down to interview me at the NPA nominating convention. Here are short excertps from that longer interview, available on XtraWest online:
"Openly gay candidate for a slot on the NPA's city council election slate Sean Bickerton sailed to easy victory Sep 14 at an endorsement meeting at the Croatian Cultural Centre. Bickerton was one of five candidates vying for the NPA's remaining council endorsements.
Before Saturday's vote, Bickerton told Xtra West he wasn't ready to rest on his laurels.
"I don't consider it in the bag until the people have spoken," he said.
Bickerton says he wants to use his seat on city council to preserve the unique heritage of Vancouver's diverse neighbourhoods, including the Davie Village, which he considers under threat by developers who may seek to transform the low-rise residential and commercial strip into more profitable high-rise buildings.
"We're losing our heritage," he says. "In 10 years, it'll all be gone. The character will be lost forever. We have to have a community plan."
Communities like the Davie Village are important assets to the city, Bickerton says.
"If you lose your cultural history, you're rootless — lost. It's impossible to create a vital future without a strong ground.
"What we can't do is wait for the Olympics [to be] like some sort of magic wand that'll clean everything up. We have to start now, at the block level, including all those who live there, whether they have homes or not," he says
"We need a comprehensive plan for the area started by residents and anchored by cultural and performance places."
Bickerton also says he will work to advance a safe streets agenda at council to address the ongoing problem of gay bashing in the city.
"I was bashed in the streets of Vancouver 25 years ago and almost didn't live," he says, pointing to small scars on his nose, which he says are remnants of the beating he took. "We need safe streets in which to exercise our freedoms."
But Bickerton says any new initiatives against violence must come from the ground up and include all stakeholders.
"We need to bring in residents, businesses, owners, governments, local police, people who work in the areas, into a room and try to reach consensus," he says
