TV Ratings: New NBC Comedies Start Softly, 'Big Brother' and 'NY Med' Grow
A new Big Brother saw its biggest boost this season, rising 25 percent from last Thursday's episode. The series, averaging a 2.0 rating among adults 18-49, helped CBS lead the night in the key demo and total viewers.
PHOTOS Summer TV Preview
Fox also saw growth, with Hell's Kitchen (1.5 adults) up two-tenths of a point from last week. The reality competition led into a steady Gang Related (0.8 adults). And over on ABC, Black Box (0.7 adults) and Rookie Blue (0.9 adults) were both steady with last Thursday, though NY Med (0.9 adults) improved by two-tenths of a point.
Two new comedies, Welcome to Sweden and Working the Engels, opened on NBC — though neither did as well as Undateable's recent debut in the time slot. After Hollywood Game Night (0.9 adults), Welcome to Sweden held 100 percent of its lead-in. Engels (0.7 adults) lost some steam immediately after. Last Comic Standing (1.0 adults) closed the night even with last week's showing.

just received my Nordstrom catalog in the mail this week, did you? i can't help but get absorbed into those glossy pages. the catalog highlighted four trends to take you from winter to spring.
the first is denim and denim, a.k.a. the Texas Tuxedo (no offense to Texas, one of my favorite states). the denim trend is in full force and mixing denims is no longer taboo. i picked my denim shirt up from my local Target clearance rack for $4.99. i liked this look with my fur vest (you know i love that thing) or without. Tman says i'm so happy because those boots added 5 inches to my height.
the second trend is colored denim. i know, that is so 80's, but it is also so mood boosting. slipping on a pair of raspberry jeans just makes a person smile (however, Tman says i'm sad in that photo because i'm wearing flats, ha!). i love my colored denim and can't wait to purchase more. this particular brand is Rich + Skinny. they have great stretch, their price is mid range, and they wash really well.
accessories are rife with feathers. i love the feather trend for jewelry, hair extensions, even clothing (have you seen those feather skirts?!). i found these earrings about a year and half ago at Forever21 for $2.80. i had to search for those puppies, but fortunately they are now a lot easier to find.
last but not least are Sperry Topsider's. you can purchase those adorable flats in just about any color or fabric. the Nordstrom catalog was spilling over with these things. if you have the money to invest in some cute casual shoes, those would be the ones.

The "Stands" that are found in the current BTB xpacks look fine in edit mode but all but disappear in game mode. I'm I missing something? Do I need to check a texture box somewhere?

DECATUR, Ill. — Canada's Sue Kim won the Decatur-Forsyth Classic on Sunday for her first Symetra Tour title, beating Laura Kueny with a birdie on the second hole of a playoff.
Kim closed with a 9-under 63 to match Kueny at 10-under 206 at Hickory Point Golf Club. Kueny, the Symetra Classic winner in May, finished with a 69.
"I had a really easy, steady day out there," said Kim, from Langley, British Columbia. "I hit 17 greens. I actually had all 17 birdie chances out there. It just came to me. It was a very easy birdie day."

Everyone makes decisions everyday. The decisions made can be very small such as what to wear on a particular day to large, life changing decisions such as moving to another city. Weather one acknowledges it or not the fact remains that decisions are a necessary part of everyday life for adults. The decisions required daily affect both personal and professional situations. Both decisions for personal and professional life require the same basic steps without the thinker realizing the processes used.
To better understand and evaluate the decision making process, several decision making models have been developed. These models can range from four to nine steps, depending on the decision and the person using the model. Harmes lists seven steps on his Genetic Decision Making Model (1994) that is somewhat similar to Bazerman's model. For example purposes this paper will examine how Bazerman (2002) uses a six-step approach. The first step is to identify the problem.
Second, Bazerman advises the classification of the criteria or the needs for the situation. The third step instructs the user to rank the criteria in order of preference. The best definition of Steps 4 and 5 come from Bazerman the author of this model:
The fourth step in the decision-making process requires identification of possible courses of action. Decision makers often spend an inappropriate amount of search time seeking alternatives, creating a barrier to effective decision making. An optimal search continues only until the cost of the search outweighs the value of the added information. Step five, rate each alternative on each criterion. How well will each of the alternative solutions achieve of the defined criteria? This is often the most difficult stage of the decision-making process, as it typically requires us to forecast future events. The rational decision maker will be able to assess...

When conditions of acute or chronic neck pain, low back pain, sciatica, neuropathic pain or certain other pain syndromes require treatment beyond conservative measures, an epidural steroid injection may be suggested.
This is a common interventional pain procedure where a needle is inserted towards the epidural space, under live X-ray guidance. (A local anesthetic is used to help with discomfort during the procedure).
A small amount of local anesthestic is also infused in the epidural space along with steroids to help provide long-term pain relief. Normally, this procedure results in improvement in your pain, although the results may not happen immediately. Keeping a log of your pain and it's improvement after the procedure is helpful in determining further treatment.

WEEK 10 RECAP: Macon East, Autauga advance in AISA playoffs
Combined Reports
Macon East Academy 38, Clarke Prep 34
Tucker Neven and Brock Taunton connected three times in the final 13 minutes, with quarterback Neven hitting his favorite receiver for 73 yards and a touchdown and 32 yards and a touchdown to rally Macon East Academy to a 38-34 victory over Clarke Prep in the first round of the AISA Class AA playoffs on Friday night.
The final touchdown, to an uncovered Taunton running alone down the right sideline, provided the game-winning points with 4:18 remaining.
"It was just one of those plays that we drew up on the side right here," Taunton said. "We just worked our magic."
"I stepped up in the pocket and rolled out," Neven said. "The linebacker came for me and nobody was covering Brock. I was looking for Brock pre-snap and I saw his guy coming for me."
Macon East (10-1), winning its first playoff game since 2007, will face Escambia (10-1) next Friday night at home for the right to advance to the Class AA championship game. Escambia crushed Cornerstone 55-0 in the Cougars' first-round game.
"I think they believe they can win," Macon East coach Glynn Lott said of his players. "We're playing with house money right now. We're on the other side of the stick. Everybody thought we should win tonight because Clarke Prep was 3-7, but they played probably the best schedule in the state this year. So next week everybody will think Escambia will win so we can just play and throw it up and see what happens."
Clarke Prep ends the season at 3-8, losing in the first round of the state playoffs for the first time since 2008. The Gators faced nine playoff teams this season.
"They had a great game plan early," Lott said. "They had us confused a little bit in the first half. But we stress special teams and JC (Ceman) and Brock are both weapons when they get it. The biggest thing that scares you is when (Ceman) gets put out for getting in a pile and doing whatever."
In a game full of big plays, Mike Murry ran 69 yards on only his second carry of the night to give Macon East a 20-14 halftime lead, then Ceman ran down a botched kickoff and returned it 83 yards for a touchdown and a 26-21 lead after Clarke Prep had taken its first lead of the game moments earlier.
From there, it was the Gators' brawn versus the Knights' big-play tandem of Neven and Taunton.
"They pretty much tell me what's open," Lott said. "They know the offense well. We pretty much run the same stuff they ran at other places and some of their plays they've done at different places we've shared. They're all cupball players. They've all played on the sidelines. I remember Brock when he was here the first time and he was in the cupball game all night long. That's basically what they're doing, they're just playing in space."
Taunton, Neven and Ceman all went to school initially at Macon East Academy before transferring to other schools. They were reunited this season in helping the football Knights to their first region title since 2001.
"We've been doing this since we were about 6, going to elementary school together," Neven said, "and going up through high school."
Taunton had transferred to Edgewood, then Wetumpka before returning to Macon. Ceman also went to Edgewood, then Park Crossing, before returning to Macon and Neven went to Fort Dale, then Park Crossing before coming back to Macon.
After Ceman's kickoff return, Clarke Prep answered with a pair of touchdowns to take a 34-26 lead. Neven and Taunton teamed up for a pair of touchdowns to rally the Knights, using the long touchdown pass to pull within two, then fooling the Gators with a sideline route for a 29-yard gain before the game winner.
Autauga (11-0) will remain home next week to face Lakeside (7-3), a 35-34 winner over Jackson. Kingwood Christian ends the season at 1-10.
The Generals rested their starters for most of the contest. Tripp Carr threw just two passes, completing both for touchdowns. James Woods had one of the receptions for 35 yards and Dominique Webster had the other one on a 24-yard scoring reception.
Defensively, Bailey Taylor led the Generals with seven tackles. Jakari Howard had five tackles, a sack and a fumble recovery for a touchdown, while Jalen Morrow had five tackles and Logan Gilmore had four.
For first-year coach Bobby Carr, the victory over Kingwood Christian is the 19th consecutive playoff victory and his 82nd straight win as a head coach, dating back to a 2010 loss to Glenwood while he was the head coach at Edgewood.
Patrician Academy 28, Lowndes Academy 20
Patrician (7-4) will play host to Crenshaw Christian (8-3) in the semifinals next week.
Lowndes (5-5) went into the game shorthanded after starting quarterback Mason McCurdy suffered an ankle injury in practice on Wednesday, forcing Johnson to move back to quarterback. The senior scored the Rebels' final touchdown and completed 3 of 12 passes for 36 yards to go along with his 14 carries. He also led the defense with six tackles.
Janes had two touchdowns on his nine carries, scoring Lowndes' first touchdown to tie the game at 7-7, then adding a second score on a 33-yard run to pull within 14-13. The two-point conversion following the second touchdown failed and the Saints scored again for a 21-13 halftime lead.
Lowndes recovered the onside kick to start the second half, but turned the ball over on downs four plays later. Patrician drove down and scored for a 28-13 lead before Johnson's touchdown.
Montgomery Catholic 31, Marbury 7
The Knights (9-1) will face Sipsey Valley in the first round of the Class 4A state playoffs next week at home. Marbury (4-6) will make its first trip to the playoffs since 2008 when the Bulldogs travel to Vigor next week.
Catholic's offense sputtered and turned the ball over on downs twice before Tyler Price finally found the end zone on a 6-yard run for a 14-0 halftime lead.
The Knights threatened early in the third quarter but had to settle for a field goal by Rocky Philipou.
Early in the fourth quarter Daryl Gibson struck twice, first with a 47-yard touchdown dash, then with a 16-yard run. Gibson ended the game with 88 rushing yards. Marbury scored with less than a minute remaining.
On defense C.J. Person had 8 tackles and Parker Dennis blocked a punt for Catholic.
Swindle threw a touchdown pass to Conner Bradford for the Mustangs' first score after they fell behind early and added a 5-yard touchdown run and two-point conversion run to close out the scoring.
After Trey Duncan scored on an 11-yard run to tie the game, Daniels added scoring runs of 3 and 4 yards to put the Mustangs in front.
Highland Home (7-3) will travel to Marengo next week in the first round of the Class 1A state playoffs, while Prattville Christian (3-7) will travel to Evergreen to play Hillcrest in a first-round game.
Roberson threw touchdown passes of 9 yards to Brandon Strength and 24 yards to Noah Phillips and also scored on touchdown runs of 10, 44 and 53 yards. K.J. Hall, who returned a PCA fumble 40 yards for a score, added touchdown runs of 40, 42 and 91 yards in the second half.
Rod McLemore added another score on an interception return for a touchdown.
Prattville Christian's Michael McCarthy scored twice in the first half, the first on an interception return and then on a 47-yard run. Sterling Berry scored on a 31-yard dash in the first half and Preston Cox added a 1-yard plunge for the Panthers.
Berry scored again in the second half on a 9-yard run and Brandon Briggs added a 14-yard run for a touchdown.
Sidney Lanier 34, Prattville 3
Lanier (9-1), posting their best record since 2000, will play Paul Bryant in the first round of the Class 6A state playoffs next Thursday at Cramton Bowl. The Poets will be seeking their first playoff win since 2006 in their first-ever meeting with the Stampede.
Prattville ends the season at 3-6.
Rodriques Ellington started the scoring with a 68-yard sprint to the end zone following aa bubble screen from Foster. Jacory Merritt added a 2-yard touchdown run for a 14-0 halftime lead before Foster came back with touchdown passes of 19 yards to Ellington and 14 yards to Delancey Tolliver.
Foster scrambled away from pressure and scored on a 7-yard run three minutes into the fourth quarter for a 34-0 lead.

A group, National Society of Chemical Engineers (NSChE), has urged the Federal Government to divest majority shareholding in the three existing refineries in the country in order to restore them to full capacity.
Its National President, Dr. John Erinne, who spoke at a press conference in Lagos, said competent private investors with strong technical and financial capabilities as well as track record in petroleum refining be allowed to revive the Port Harcourt, Warri and Kaduna refineries.
He said the government should also implement the proposed 350,000 barrels per day Lekki refinery to ensure adequate refining capacity that would meet the growing demand for petroleum products in the country, even as he advised that the proposed refineries for Bayelsa and Kogi should be explored subsequently.
He said: "Nigeria indeed has the potentials of becoming a regional petroleum refining hub in West Africa and a net exporter of petroleum products in the next seven years with consistent commitment to these remedial measures.
"The Pipelines and Product Marketing Company (PPMC), the Strategic Business Unit (SBU) of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) responsible for the network of pipelines and infrastructure for supply of crude oil to the refineries and distribution of petroleum products nationwide, should be separated from NNPC and transformed into a new holding company which should act commercially and should be mandated to concession various aspects of the operations to competent private sector operators under clearly defined terms."
On the Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB), Erinne called on the legislature and executive to without further delay; enact it, even as he objected to the proposal for the retention of the Ministry of Petroleum Resources, which he says will run parallel with the new Petroleum Technical Bureau (PTB).
Erinne proposed a National Petroleum Directorate to accommodate both bodies and maintained that the creation of two regulatory bodies in the oil and gas Industry would be a wasteful duplication and would lead to confusion.

Having got back into the milonga social scene, I've had the opportunity to observe and experience again the different ways a man will ask you to dance.
There is the direct approach: the man approaches the woman and requests a dance, straight forward and transparent but slightly tricky if she refuses without a good reason.
Then you see the more formal approach, the cabezeo: rare in my experience of London milongas and generally only observed by visitors or those who learnt tango abroad. I've only successfully experienced the cabezeo once, although possibly I've missed it a couple of other times! (I think it soon becomes apparent to the foreigner that the women are not deliberately ignoring them but just are simply not in tune to this subtle approach!)
My latest bugbear however, are the men who approach a woman to dance with an arrogant 'hand out' gesture. No words will cross their lips, it will merely be a hand and a stance that says they don't expect a refusal. Several times, I have seen women co-erced into dancing with someone this way and often it tends to be the more forceful dancer who you see dispensing this kind of invitation. I don't like it. If a man wants to dance with me, I like to feel some kind of connection, even if it is just a simple hello and a smile. It shows courtesy and I am more likely to respond in the positive. The only way, I can see this anonymous approach working is if the tanguero turns out to be an amazing dancer, in which case the scenario has something akin to a dramatic stranger sweeping you off your feet! – the unexplainable connection between two strangers and the whole drama of the dance can build into a wonderful experience, which you will bore your friends with long afterwards. But for many though, this is unlikely to happen – so men, do the courteous thing and ask with words!

Asking a woman to dance

Yet in the span of an hour this week, two stunning events probably wrecked those plans, and in the process seemed to show the bishops as powerless as ever to halt the church's fall from grace. What's more, the second incident shows just how divided the bishops' conference now appears to be.
First, Phoenix authorities announced that Bishop Thomas O'Brien was charged in a fatal hit-and-run accident, in which O'Brien allegedly struck and killed a man with his car Saturday night. O'Brien did not even mention the accident until police traced him through his license plate Monday morning. The bishop told investigators he thought he'd hit an animal or that someone threw a rock at his windshield.
And this, just two weeks after O'Brien agreed to a plea bargain with the county prosecutor in which, in exchange for immunity from prosecution, he admitted he had assigned priests accused of sexual abuse to some of his parishes.
With his arrest, O'Brien became the perfect metaphor for the bishops in crisis: a hit-and-run driver who leaves innocent victims in his wake and speeds on to avoid punishment. As they say in the tabloids, you can't make this stuff up.
Yet the second bombshell on Monday may have more profound implications: former Oklahoma Governor Frank Keating's defiant letter of resignation as head of the National Catholic Review Board, the group created by the bishops last June to oversee their implementation of the church's sexual abuse policy. In his letter, Keating stood by his explosive remarks last week in which he likened the hierarchy to the mafia: "My remarks...were deadly accurate. I make no apology," he wrote to Bishop Wilton Gregory, president of the U.S. hierarchy.
"To resist grand jury subpoenas, to suppress the names of offending clerics, to deny, to obfuscate, to explain away; that is the model of a criminal organization, not my church."
Just as remarkable, however, was Gregory's response-because Gregory praised Keating for being forthright: "The board's contribution to resolving the sexual abuse crisis depends on its willingness to offer an honest appraisal of the steps being taken by the bishops to protect children and young people."
Contrast that with comments by Los Angeles Cardinal Roger Mahony, who called Keating's remarks "irresponsible and uninformed," and it is clear the U.S. hierarchy has some serious internal divisions.
At times, and often during public debates, the differences have gotten unusually personal. Nebraska's Bishop Fabian Bruskewitz derided his brothers in the hierarchy as "this hapless bench of bishops." In Dallas, Bishop Joseph Galante, appointed in 2000 to succeed Bishop Charles Grahmann, publicly clashed with Grahmann last year over Galante's insistence that an accused priest be suspended from ministry. Several months ago, in a surprising admission, Galante announced he would likely leave Dallas because Grahmann refused to vacate his post.

Stockmen's Association raises concern of FMD risk in Namibian proposal
The North Dakota Stockmen's Association (NDSA) issued comments in opposition to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Food Safety Inspection Service (FSIS) proposal that would add Namibia to the list of countries whose meat inspection system for boneless fresh beef is adequate for importation into the United States.
The southwestern African nation is seeking the listing to export boneless fresh beef produced south of its Veterinary Cordon Fence (VCF) into the United States. The VCF was built in 1954 to protect producers in the southern region of the country from foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) outbreaks occurring among roaming, native, African buffalo north of the VCF.
NDSA President Steve Brooks, a Bowman, N.D., cow-calf and seedstock producer, said that the 86-year-old cattle producers' trade organization remains concerned about the USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service's (APHIS) lack of recent on-site animal health inspections in Namibia. APHIS inspectors last visited the country 12 years ago.
"It would be irresponsible to implement this rule without up-to-date site visits that verify the country's animal health status and ensure that meat can be exported without subjecting the United States to FMD, a highly contagious and economically devastating disease," Brooks wrote in a comment letter to the USDA. "Our animals, our industry and our economy are at stake."
While FMD does not pose a food safety threat, it has serious animal health and welfare consequences. The disease is characterized by fever, a loss of appetite, weight loss, lameness and painful blisters in the mouth and on the feet of infected animals.
Since January 2015, FMD cases have been confirmed in both cattle and free-roaming African buffalo originating from the Namibian region north of the VCF.
In his comments, Brooks pointed to deficiencies in the areas of Namibia's government oversight, statutory authority, food safety regulations, sanitation, and chemical residue and microbiological testing programs. He urged USDA officials to reject the proposal until updated information about the country's current animal health status is obtained and reviewed and all issues can be addressed.

Wacker Neuson have added two new models to their range of small mobile vibratory plates. Both the DPU 3050H E and DPU 3060HE-TS are equipped with electric starters. Like all mobile vibratory plates from Wacker Neuson, these two machines offer mobility on construction sites with the help of integrated wheels. The operator can get the machines up and running quickly with the help of the electric starter.
The electric starter has a long-life battery. The mobile vibratory plates also boast a range of additional labour-saving features. The LED display panel, for example, provides an overview of the machine's operational status and includes an indicator for low oil pressure, charge controller status and other functions. The new ignition lock is dust-protected and features an integrated starter switch.
According to Oliver Kolmar, Product Manager, Soil and Asphalt compaction, Wacker Neuson, the mobile vibratory plates can handle paving, trench, and cable jobs easily as landscaping and gardening activities. The compact design of the mobile vibratory plates from Wacker Neuson makes them suitable for areas where space is limited, for instance, when backfilling structures or compacting sidewalk areas.
The mobile vibratory plates are light in weight and thus suit to compacting combined asphalt base and surface layers. The smooth plate operation is a further benefit for users working on interlocking stone pavements, as it minimises the risk of damage to the stones during compaction. Despite the smooth operation and lightweight design, DPU 3050H E and DPU 3060HE-TS are powerful plates with 30-kN of centrifugal force. They have no difficulty coping with mid-size dumping heights.

Apple Pie
(from the Food Network's show Tyler's Ultimate, online recipe)
2 c all-purpose flour
1 t salt
3/4 c chilled vegetable shortening
Ice water
1/2 to 1 c all-purpose flour
6 to 7 c apples cut into thin slices (recommended: Green Golden and Jonathan's)
1 c white sugar
1 c brown sugar
1 t cinnamon
2 T melted butter
Preparing the Dough
1. Stir together the four and salt in a mixing bowl (using a stand mixer helps in the next steps).
2. Add the shortening and mix into the flour until there are no large lumps of shortening.
3. Slowly add the ice water a tablespoon at a time, being sure to scrape the mixture down, until the dough clumps easily when mixed (about 3 T).
4. Divide the dough into two balls, one slightly larger than the other, for use as the two pieces of crust when assembling the pie.
Making the Filling
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugars, flour, cinnamon, and butter.
2. Wash, peel, and core the apples, then cut them into eighths.
3. Add the apples to the sugar mixture and coat all the slices.
Rolling the Dough and Assembling the Pie
preheat oven to 375°F
1. Roll out the larger dough ball until it is about 2 inches in diameter larger than the pie dish.
2. Transfer the sheet of dough onto the rolling pin and place it in the pie dish.
3. Firmly press the dough into the dish.
4. Evenly spread the apple filling in the crust.
5. Cut the dough into even strips, long enough to cover the top of the pie
6. Lay four of the strips about an inch apart across the pie
7. Weave four to five more strips perpendicular to the strips already laid down.
8.Cover the edges of the pie crust with foil and bake for 25 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for another 20 minutes or until the top of the pie is browned.
The biggest challenge we faced while making this pie was perfecting the dough. We added water to the mixer to moisten the dough, we were already doubting ourselves. It was still crumbly, but we were still able to roll it into a ball. We thought that some time in the fridge would help the dough come together. After making the filling, we removed the dough from the fridge and sprinkled our work surface and rolling pin with flour, attempting to roll the dough that was falling apart. It took a lot of extra water to make the dough workable, and it turns out that we probably needed a little more water in the mixer from the start. Since we were having trouble rolling the dough into one thin layer to completely cover the filling, we decided to attempt a lattice weave. With help from our instructor, we were able to weave the dough correctly. We then used a fork to mold the edge of the dough together and then trimmed the edges. Finally, foil covered the edges and the pie then went into the oven. The struggles with the dough were over.

Sunshine Seafood Cafe, which has been a staple on Captiva for the last eight years, will have a new home later this year.

Sunshine Seafood Cafe will have a new location later this year.
"It's going to have a little bit of a different flare to it. (The menu will have) the same great food and we're going to add some vegetarian items because I think people are looking for those options right now," said Sandy Stilwell, owner of Sunshine Seafood Cafe and CEO of Stilwell Enterprises.
Stilwell said she and her employees are looking forward to the move which is projected to happen late November.
"We're very excited about the new move. I think with the outdoor music from Andy Rosse (Lane) it will be more of a lively restaurant," Stilwell said.
Latte Da Coffee Shop & Deli will be relocated to where Premier Sotheby's International Realty is on 11508 Andy Rosse Lane.

Among the artists who attract the interests of other artists (particularly from the newest generation), Peter Saul is one of the most magnetizing. Bernard and Gwenolee Zürcher proposed to him the idea of a group show based on his own artistic choices. The number of chosen artists grew along with Peter's enthusiasm, and eventually the show had accumulated twenty artists of different generations, including Peter Saul himself.
From the curator:
"This is my first attempt to curate a group show. Even in 19 years of art teaching, I can't remember ever selecting a group of pictures for any reason. So why now?
Why not?
I agreed to curate the show. Outside of two artists who were already shown in the gallery – Brian Belott and Taylor McKimens (whom I was interested in) – the other artists in this show are friends of mine. They're either friends I've had for years, or they're people I just met once for a few minutes and seemed friendly enough. My great embarrassment is that I couldn't remember the names of all my artist friends fast enough. I ran out of time and space. There are at least 12 to 15 people who should be here if they want to. If there's ever a next time, I'll ask you all first.
I've got definite criteria for good looking, long lasting, important art, but nobody I know agrees with it. For this show, if I had to choose between 2 images, I chose the one that was more pictorial, sensational, illusionistic, glamorous, humanistic, funny, sexual, quarrelsome, violent, ugly, etc. etc. In case none of these applied, I chose the one I thought was more unusual to look at. The only absolute was to choose small works, so that more and more could fit in."

Oral Care Challenge : Ready, Get Set, Go!
When I got asked to join the Listerine Oral Care Challenge, it was a no-brainer. My own teeth have been the bane of my existence. As a child, my dental visits were few and far between, as I aged I fell victim to dental carries and a few crap dentists who seemed a little too drill happy, both to my teeth and my wallet. To make matters worse, as a grown adult, post-pregnancy, I had over $10,000 worth of dental work done due to weakening of the teeth. The dentist even had the nerve to blame my 28 months of breastfeeding for calcium depletion… the nerve! The bill itself was enough to scare me from ever going to the dentist again. And really, going to see a dentist only when something hurts is not a good thing. While I have since found better care, it still isn't an easy place for me to go. In fact my anxiety is at its all time high when visiting the dentist. My newly discovered favorite form of treatment is nitrous oxide otherwise known as laughing gas.
Worried that my own experience with the dentist would taint that of my own children, I am eager to take this challenge head on. Since learning that 50 percent of children will have a cavity or filling between the ages of 5 and 9 and the surgeon general reports that 51 million school hours are missed each year because of dental-related illness, I am scared. If prevention is worth its weight in gold, I needed to get going ASAP. With my daughter at 4 years old and my son at 2 years old, neither of which have seen a dentist yet nor have very consistent dental hygiene habits, we might be on a road to trouble.
After participating in the Healthy Habits Kick Off call I was feeling a little disgusted and also very inspired. Disgusted because I found out that brushing your teeth alone misses the germs in 75% of your mouth. Yuk! First things first, I picked up the phone and made dentist appointments for the kids. I was very proud of myself for taking this first step. Next it was time to unpack my Listerine Gift Pack. I was thrilled to find Character themed products which made the introduction all the more easier.
J was thrilled to bits with his Phineas and Ferbs rinse and toothbrush, while A was giddy with glee over her new Barbie rinse and toothbrush. M is still too little for a rinse but I couldn't leave him out, so he got his very own Batman toothbrush, otherwise fondly known as "Man!" We were off to a good start.
The good thing is that my husband has been firmly making sure that J & A brush their teethes, not just at night but first thing in the morning. That was a habit that never stuck with me as a kid. Having the character rinses definitely makes things a lot easier if not a little more troublesome. A wants to brush and rinse her teeth all the time now. I've had to put my foot down several times. Really! It could become a real problem. The baby just loves to copy his older sibs and this time, it's a good thing. If they've got good oral hygiene, he is sure to follow suit. As it stands, he has his own cup and toothbrush and loves to spit out water. I mean who doesn't! He loves to stand side by side with them as they brush. It's really too cute for words.
I also found the time to dig out a toy timer from a now defunct game which will act as a 2-minute brush timer and 1-minute rinse timer. I was so excited!
With the kids squared away, it was time to examine my own dental hygiene. You'd think with my history, I'd be neurotic about my dental health habits… but I'm not. I still never brush my teeth in the morning, unless I'm coming off a night shift. Sometimes out of pure exhaustion, I skip the flossing and just brush. Sometimes I'm soooo lazy, I don't even use the Listerine rinse. Working the night shift 3-4 days a week doesn't help either, my times are always turned upside down. That's the problem with being a mom whose candle is being burnt at both ends. I learned though from the call that, oral care has advanced so much that it takes just minutes a day to improve your oral care routine and establish a healthy habit that will benefit you for a lifetime. The sooner you improve your oral care, the more money you will save. Fortunately, Walmart offers LISTERINE® and REACH® products at affordable prices!
This is a fresh start for everyone. With new tools in hand, we are going to start creating some healthy dental habits. Won't you join us?
Visit www.walmart.com/AHA/Listerine/Reach to access to tips from leading dental experts and find great values and prices on oral care products.
{ disclosure: I received products and compensation from Johnson & Johnson and The Motherhood
as part of my participation in the Oral Care Challenge but have been a long-time loyal user of Listerine & REACH products. All thoughts and opinions expressed in this post and any post on this site are always my own. }

Tourism figures for the first 6 months of 2017 confirm that the sector is set for its eighth year of consecutive solid growth since the economic crisis of 2009. In the first half of 2017, international tourist arrivals worldwide grew by 6% compared to the same period last year.
598 million international tourists, 36 million more than in the same period of 2016, traveled to other countries in the first 6 months of 2017. The figure supposes an increase of 6% compared to the same months of the previous year, according to the latest UNWTO World Tourism Barometer.
International arrivals reported by destinations around the world were positive overall, with very few exceptions. Most of 2016's strong performers maintained momentum, while destinations that struggled in previous years continued to rebound in the first part of 2017. This is especially reflected in the better results of the Middle East (+10%), Africa (+8%) and Europe (+8%). Asia and the Pacific (6%) and the Americas (+3%) continued to enjoy robust growth.
"Destinations that were affected by negative events during 2016 are showing clear signs of recovery over a very short period of time. This is very welcoming news for all, but particularly for those whose livelihoods depend on tourism in these destinations," said UNWTO Secretary-General Taleb Rifai.
Regional Results
International arrivals in Europe (+8%) rebounded in January-June after mixed results last year. Confidence returned to some destinations that were impacted by security incidents, while others continued to grow strongly. Results improved particularly in Southern Mediterranean Europe (+12% as compared to +1% in 2016) and Western Europe (+6% as opposed to +0% in 2016). Northern Europe (+8%) continued to record strong growth, while Central and Eastern Europe recorded 2% more international arrivals, in line with results of last year.
In Asia and the Pacific, international arrivals were up 6% through June with sound results across all four subregions. South Asia (+12%) led growth, followed by Oceania (+8%), South-East Asia (+7%) and North-East Asia (+4%). International arrivals in the Americas were up 3% with strong results in South America and Central America (both +7%), while arrivals in North America grew by 2% and in the Caribbean by 2%.
Limited data available for Africa points to an 8% increase in international arrivals, with North Africa (+17%) recovering strongly. International arrivals in the Middle East rebounded by an estimated 10% following a 3% decline in 2016.

Seat gets its own up!-derived minicar for a new entry-level model for the brand.
Spanish automaker Seat is getting its own minicar based on the Volkswagen up! called the Mii.
Just days after Skoda unveiled the up!-based Citigo and skeptics bashed the first leaked image, Seat has its own Latin variant which will be a new entry-level model for the brand - the first minicar in the vehicle range since the Arosa (which was based on the VW Lupo) was discontinued back in 2005.
The Mii will come with a 1.0 liter, three-cylinder engine in two power configurations - 60 PS (44 kW / 60 hp) and 75 PS (55 kW / 75 hp). Two equipment packages are also available, Chic and Sport.
Special technology on the Mii includes the hybrid automatic gearbox with two electric motors that help smooth over the changes.

Abraham Lincoln in Illinois
A Selection of Documents from the Illinois State Archives
November 24, 1840
The twelfth session of the Illinois House met for the first time on November 23, 1840. The next day, the House elected its officers. Former Illinois Governor William L. D. Ewing, a Democrat from Vandalia, defeated Abraham Lincoln for Speaker, 46 to 36. It was the second time Ewing had defeated Lincoln for Speaker. Immediately following the vote, in a gracious move from the leader of the Whig Party, Lincoln wrote and moved for passage of this resolution, informing the Senate that the House had organized and elected its officers.
It can be argued that the highlight of Ewing's political career was defeating Lincoln twice for Speaker. However, he had one of the more unusual political careers in Illinois history.
A lawyer by training, Ewing came to Illinois around 1818. He was appointed to various governmental positions and also served in the Black Hawk War. In 1826 and 1828 he was appointed clerk of the Illinois House. In 1830 he ran for state representative and not only won the election but was made Speaker of the House. Two years later he won office as state senator. He became Speaker pro tempore of the Senate and, as the highest-ranking senator, he became acting Lt. Governor following the resignation of Zadok Casey. When Governor John Reynolds resigned to enter Congress, Ewing became the state's fifth governor. He served for the last seventeen days of Reynolds' term and then went back to the state Senate.
In 1835, Abraham Lincoln worked for Ewing's selection as United States senator to fill out the term of Elias Kent Kane, who had died. Lincoln supported Ewing because he knew a Whig couldn't win and he wanted a weak Democrat who could be beaten when the term expired. Sure enough, two years later Ewing lost the Senate seat but he lost it to another Democrat.
Following his defeat for the U. S. Senate, Ewing served two more terms in the Illinois House. Both terms he was selected as Speaker, defeating Lincoln. This meant that in his four terms in the Illinois General Assembly, three in the House and one in the Senate, he was always selected as the leader of his chamber. After his last term in the House, he was again appointed clerk of the House. He later was appointed state auditor, the job he was holding when he died in 1846.
Points to Consider
Why would Lincoln work to have Ewing elected as United States senator?
Why do you think that once a person is elected to office, they tend to be reelected several times, even for other offices? Can you give other examples of this happening?
Why do you think Ewing was always selected as leader of his chamber during his four terms in the General Assembly?

I have been thinking hard about a rowboat for about a month now. I thought I'd settled on a design in the form of a rowing version of the Delaware Ducker in Howard Chapelle's "American Small Sailing Craft", but now I think I might need something with a little more capacity. I've contacted Ducker owners and asked them their pros and cons. It's really more of a one-man boat than I need.
I'm wanting a boat to row solo about 75% of the time, but having the ability to row two-up with a load of weekend camping gear and provisions. Something I can fish from, row for fitness, row out to some Midwestern lake islands to explore, à la Arthur Ransome's "Swallows and Amazons" or just messabout in the fashion of the Water Rat in Kenneth Grahame's "The Wind in the Willows".
One thing is fairly certain, I plan to build the boat in skin-on-frame. I kicked around cedar strip and lapstrake construction, but have decided to convert an older working boat design to SoF. It'll cut weight significantly, allowing me to easily cartop and pull ashore a boat in the 15-16 foot range. The key to making a boat useable is making it easy to use. Cutting ready and setup time makes it less of a chore and gives you more time on the water. That, the lack of registration and the added exercise is why I'm leaning towards rowing over sailing.
"Believe me, my young friend, there is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats." ― Kenneth Grahame, The Wind in the Willows

Channel 4 to launch British Family Guy and new drama from Charlie Brooker
- Bang Showbiz
- 12 May 2011
Channel 4 is to launch a British version of US cartoon 'Family Guy', which will follow the lives of a typical suburban family living in the UK
Channel 4 is to launch a British version of 'Family Guy'.
The "edgy" cartoon - entitled 'Happy Families' - will be made by the same people behind 'The Simpsons Movie' and will follow the lives of a typical suburban family living in the UK.
'Happy Families' will also feature cameo appearances from a whole host of stars.
Channel 4 creative officer Jay Hunt said: "It will feature cameos from celebrities as you've never seen them before."
Meanwhile, '10 O'Clock Live' presenter Charlie Brooker's new series 'Black Mirror' will follow-up his zombie drama 'Dead Set' and will portray a world where technology has taken over.
Jay explained: "It taps into that unease we all fear about the way computers are changing how we interact."
This is part of a new wave of changes from the broadcaster, including yesterday's (11.05.11) announcement that Fern Britton's chat show 'Fern' is to end after just one series.
However, channel executives are currently in the process of discussing new formats for the show - which filled the slot previously taken up by Paul O'Grady's chat series after he departed the channel for ITV - and are keen to continue working with Fern in the future.

So farewell, 1994 Group – you had been looking a little thin recently, but your demise was unexpectedly sudden nonetheless.
It's hard to feel too tearful about the passing of a mission group, particularly in light of the problems caused by factionalism in higher education. But it does leave behind some happy memories – if not of joy, fun and seasons in the sun, then at least of serious research on matters of national importance and an approach that was less partisan than that of the (thriving) Russell Group.
The 1994 Group's demise came as a surprise because, despite haemorrhaging members in the past year or two, it was supposed to have been relaunched this week. Perhaps its board decided that this simply would have delayed the inevitable.
At a time of growing division between the haves and have-nots, higher education increasingly seems to be split into the Russell Group and the rest. The undisguised joy of the four 1994 Group institutions admitted to the Russell Group last year was striking: one chair of council stood on stage at a party thrown to celebrate its new status and announced that his university had secured the "holy grail".
Its demise came as a surprise because it was supposed to have been relaunched. Perhaps its board decided that this simply would have delayed the inevitable
Despite efforts to reinvigorate the 1994 Group's appealing concept of a network of universities defined by a focus on small class sizes and the student experience within a research-intensive culture, four others jumped ship in the wake of that raid and the 11 left behind clearly felt the game was up.
The Russell Group juggernaut has picked up considerable momentum in the past few years, to the extent that its name is now part of the vernacular among ambitious parents and pupils (who are described by their teachers as being on the "Russell Group track"). It was looking for two things when it poached the universities of Exeter, Durham, York and Queen Mary, University of London: research income and selectivity of student intake.
On the latter point, the introduction of the AAB rule was instrumental: it looked odd for the self-appointed "elite" not to include some of the universities with the best-qualified students. On the former, our annual analysis of research council funding, published this week, tells the story: in 2012-13, the Russell Group took 75 per cent of the total, some £1.1 billion. The 1994 Group figure, meanwhile, was £68 million, 5 per cent of the total and less than University College London (the top earner with £135 million), Imperial College London and the universities of Cambridge and Oxford.
There are some discrepancies: the 1994 Group's top earner, Loughborough University, was awarded £22 million – more than three of the four Russell Group newcomers (and a couple of its longer-standing members).
But Loughborough's take was also far more than the three lowest-earning members of its own now disbanded group, which received less than £1 million each.
In its closing statement, the 1994 Group says that "as institutions we have expanded and changed over time to the point where the need for the group as originally constituted no longer exists".
Its demise also reflects the Russell Group's success in squeezing out a rival that sought to share the "elite" tag – and the Darwinian principles currently at play in higher education.

ISLAMABAD: The United States Deputy Chief of Mission, Ambassador Richard Hoagland on Saturday said the United States wants stability in Pakistan.
Talking to media on Saturday after attending a conference, Richard Hoagland said his country does not support any political party or individual, including Tahir-ul-Qadri.
He said that any decision regarding military operation in North Waziristan will be taken by Pakistan itself.
Richard Hoagland said the United States is not satisfied with the mechanism of Coalition Support Fund and will improve the mechanism in future.
He further said that the United States supports democracy and free polls in the world.
Earlier, Ambassador Hoagland while delivering the keynote address at the International Business Plan Competition finals, organized by The Indus Entrepreneurs (TiE), reaffirmed the US government's commitment to foster entrepreneurship and supporting individual entrepreneurs throughout Pakistan.
"Entrepreneurship is vital to Pakistan's future, and we are here to support you," he said.
During his address, Ambassador Hoagland highlighted a series of initiatives promoted by the US government to promote entrepreneurship and generate economic growth in Pakistan.
The Embassy recently unveiled an entrepreneurship programme, called Khushhali Ka Safar (A Journey to Prosperity) which provides support to innovative Pakistani entrepreneurs by connecting them with American investors, particularly from the Pakistani Diaspora in the United States.
"Although the promotion of entrepreneurship is not traditional diplomacy, it is an increasingly important plank of U.S. foreign policy across the world, and we strongly believe that it can make a difference in people's lives," said Ambassador Hoagland.
The Ambassador, describing other U.S. government programmes that support entrepreneurs, including efforts to form partnerships among American and Pakistani universities so that Pakistani start ups can access mentors and obtain practical advice from seasoned industry leaders in the U.S.
Another U.S. programme, the Pakistan Firms Project, helps to increase the profitability and incomes of small and medium-sized enterprises in vulnerable areas, by identifying and removing constraints to private-sector job growth in key areas such as agriculture, livestock, minerals, and tourism.
In addition, the US has also recently launched the multi-year Pakistan Private Investment Initiative.
Drawing on public-private partnerships, this initiative will spur job growth and economic development by expanding access to capital for Pakistan's small- to medium-sized companies.
More than 100 corporate and private sponsors supported TiE's competition, during which graduate-level university students had the opportunity to fine-tune their business plans and compete for funding.
Successful entrepreneurs, venture capitalists and other investors from around the country volunteered their time to judge the competition, with the majority of the more than 250 judges coming from the investment sector.

I know Dancing with the Stars has been on for a few years, but this is the first season I've truly gotten into and I love it! Some thoughts I have....
1. Gilles always puts on a great show and is ssssooooo hot!!! I want to dance with him. How does he moves those hips like that?!?
2. Steve-O annoys the hell out of me and can't possibly be sexy and romantic when he has tattoos on his knuckles. Ew.
3. Lil Kim is totally my favorite. She can totally move her sexy little body and she surprises me every week. I like her best probably because she is surprising - I never expected her to be quite so good or to put so much passion into her dances. Awesome.
4. I just wanna pinch Shawn Johnson's adorable little cheeks. I loved her during the Olympics and I love her now. However, is her partner gay? Because if not, I think he might be taking advantage of young Shawn. Uh oh!
5. I HATE Melissa Rycroft. I'm so sick of all of these people who are basically nobodies riding the reality show train. Ugh. Wish she would just go away.
6. Ty is so super cute. I just love him despite the fact that he's not a great dancer. He tries so hard and has such a great attitude. I hope he sticks around a while longer.
Here's to hoping Steve-O goes home tonight! And, to hoping I can sit in my call room and watch it!!!!

Good morning everyone. This is my first time posting on here. I am going to start out by saying this may contain a lot of random information, but please just stick with me... Since this past summer, I have gotten completely out of shape. I gained about 15 pounds and finally decided recently that I have just had enough. I have been weight training for the past month and a half. I added cardio this week and have also drastically cleaned up my disgusting diet. Lol.
For the first few weeks, my body weight bounced around between 150 and 160. My body fat decreased/increased in the range of 1-3% difference. I have a scale that measures weight, water, bodyfat and bmi. I know that scales aren't accurate, but I relied on it just to see the difference in numbers. I also input measurements into a calculator for body fat %... this generally gives me a number 4% lower than that on the scale.
With that being said... when I weighed in this morning, I had lost 5-ish lbs and gained almost 5% BF. It was very discouraging to see this, which is why I finally decided to post on the forum.
Right now, I am taking in about 1200 calories a day. I know I should be taking in a little more. I am working my way up to that, its just hard for me to eat that much for some reason. An example of what I take in during the day:
Pre Workout:
1 scoop muscle tech amino build
1 scoop hydroxycut ******** elite powder
Post Workout (45min weight training/5x week) I train each muscle group twice a week:
1 scoop Anabolic Halo w/ water...
5 Eggs (Usually 2 whole, 3 whites... Sometimes I eat more whole, just depends on how hungry I am)
1 Serving whole grain oats plain
1 serving grilled chicken
1-2 C Broccoli
Quest Bar
MRM All Natural Whey shake OR Chicken and Broccoli if I can stomach it.
I read that for fat loss, protein percentage should be higher and carb percentage should be lower. I think I am doing a decent job of following that right now, but could be wrong.
I drink about half a gallon of water daily. I am working my way up to a gallon. I also drink 1-2 cups of green tea daily.
I am doing cardio about 3x a week in the evenings, but am working up to 4-5x a week. My sessions so far have consisted of 30 min on eliptical followed by 20-30 minutes on stationary bike set to a medium resistance. (I weight train in the morning just because I feel that is my "prime time"... I feel like if I wait until after work, I wouldn't be giving it my best effort...)
Now I am going to give you my past 2 scale readings for comparison...
(but before that I'll add that I am a 26 year old 5'6 Female... who probably appears to have a mild case of ADD by the looks of this scattered post.)
My last body fat percentage based on measurements was 26.73 on 2/22/2014. The scale said 32.4% that same day.
If you've made it this far through my post, THANK YOU! My questions are:
Does anyone know what could have caused such a jump in my body fat? I have been busting my @$$ this week... and its very discouraging.
Recommendations on my diet? I'm trying to eat more, but find it hard to get down more than one piece of meat a day. I like eggs, but worry about eating too many of them? I prefer them hard boiled with the yolks... I'm good with shakes, but do I need to be eating more solids?
Any other thoughts or suggestions are welcome.

Just as the world turns it seems so does the name of my portfolio. This has been an ongoing project for the final portfolio for my portfolio class. This will be the finalization of the photography certification. Images have been switched, deleted, thrown out and some I never thought:accepted. The biggest challenge working on this I must say has been keeping a tight "symmetry" , trying to maintain the correct lighting, and printing in a way that these keep the coordination yet trying to also have variety. These are the images I turned in today but am sure will not be the last. Thanks for looking !

Strong demand for the hip offices favored by tech firms and creative types will reward The City and the Peninsula with the country's largest growth in office rents this year, according to a new report.
A report by the global real estate broker CB Richard Ellis said the cost of local office space could increase by up to 7 percent by year's end.
Senior Vice President Meade Boutwell said after two years of declining rents colored by The City's high unemployment and office-vacancy rate, more tech firms are starting up or relocating here.
"Our rent's been at the bottom, so it's much easier to go up when you're at bottom," Boutwell said. "They're very bullish on San Francisco."
At the end of 2010, the region had an office vacancy rate of 13.7 percent, which is expected to decline to 11.8 percent by the end of this year. The New York region — where office rents are expected to rise 6.6 percent in 2011, earning it second place on the company's list — started 2011 with an 8.4 percent vacancy rate, which could decline to 7.2 percent.
Jay Sternberg, a senior vice president for the global brokerage firm Colliers International, said rents in the area are climbing even as vacancies remain high because of the demand for alternatives to "high-rise, vanilla office space."
Sternberg said most local "creative space" is found in the South of Market neighborhood where offices feature exposed bricks, beams and warehouses. Such offices are more common throughout New York, he said.
"That's the hottest part of the market," Sternberg said. "It has access to the Peninsula, it's creative and it's different."
In recent years, Sternberg and Boutwell said, tech employment in San Francisco has grown faster than traditional office jobs.
"But those tech companies will need attorneys and accountants," he said, suggesting that Financial District office space could soon make a comeback.
In the meantime, the managers of large office buildings that opened their doors in recent years still have many vacancies and are ready for a positive push.
"We have 11 stories in here right now, and we have the fifth and ninth floors occupied and all the others are vacant," said Simon Tsui of 1 Kearny, which opened in spring 2009 amid the recession. "It's been sitting there for a year. We're hoping to strike more leases."
Expected rent growth and vacancy rates in San Francisco and the Peninsula:
Expected 2011 rent growth: 7 percent
Prices at the start of 2011: $31.33 per square foot per year
Vacancy rates at the start of 2011: 13.7 percent
Expected vacancy rates at the end of 2011: 11.8 percent
