Jeff Grissler Shares Tips from Ready, Set, Go
Jeff Grissler has written five books guiding salon owners to financial success. His latest book "Ready, Set, Go, A Salon Owner's Guide to Wealth" just hit the market. Jeff stopped by Modern's booth at America's Beauty Show to give us some tips covered in the book.
"This book is for the salon owner looking to make more money." he says. "One way is to really pay attention to the front end of the salon, the retail center. Salon owners can generate a lot of income from a small area." When asked for some ideas, all covered in the book, Jeff offers these three tips:
1. SPEND TIME DESIGNING THE RETAIL AREA: "Most salon owners spend more time working on the styling area. It doesn't take a lot of money or space to createa profitable and attractive retail space."
2. LEARN HOW TO SELL TO MEN: "Men need to touch, feel and try a product. Stylists must educate and
guide the male client. This will not only help to sell products and services, but it will be build trust."
3. SPEND TIME WITH SALESPEOPLE: "Spend more time with the sales person who comes in the salon. That person is your educator. Use those salespeople as a guide and learn from them."

School administrators and teachers across the state said that students were unprepared to meet those standards. No one, they said, had time to adequately prepare children, given that Common Core represents a wholesale overhaul of the state's ELA and math curricula.
Teachers, who were trained under very different standards, said they themselves did not entirely understand Common Core. Now we see the results of the state's rush to implement the standards. Across New York, the passing rate on the K-8 ELA and math exams hovered in the 30 percent range, prompting state and local officials, including Education Commissioner John King, to release a slew of statements in a vain attempt to quell parents' furor. Their replies to anxious parents and students, many of whom say they are beginning to break under the weight of continuous high-stakes testing, were simply inadequate.
State officials are calling the results of this year's exams a "baseline." That is, they gave educators a sense of where students are, and where they need to go from here. Apparently they have a long way to go.
Sadly, the state did little this past year to help teachers and parents prepare for the new standards, beyond warning that they were coming, according to school administrators and teachers across the South Shore. The state set up engageny.org to help inform educators about the standards and what they can do to implement them. Beyond a litany of goals and objectives, however, there is little on the website to help educators achieve them. The state provides a library of short video clips of sample lessons that teachers have taught according to the new standards. But is this training?
And there was next to nothing for parents, who, we believe, should play a vital role in their children's education. In the past, parents at least knew what state tests looked like. They had sample tests from past years that they could easily obtain from the Education Department's website or from privately published study guides. This year there was nothing of the sort, only vague notions of what the new tests might look like.

QUINCY, Mass. - In the final game of the 2012 season, the MIT baseball team defeated Suffolk University by a 5-1 score on Monday evening at Adams Field in Quincy. Sophomore Sean Karson (Winter Park, Fla.) drove in three runs with a pair of hits while senior A.J. Hansborough (Deltona, Fla.) put together a 3-for-5 effort at the plate for the Engineers who finished the year with a 22-14 overall record.
MIT staked itself to a quick 2-0 lead in the top half of the first inning with senior Torre Swanson (Redding, Calif.) leading the game off with a double down the left field line. Swanson came around to score on the next play due to a Rams' infield error that reached left field. Hansborough later muscled a single to left to plate senior Zach Carr (Chatham, N.J.) in the inning.
The Engineers would add a pair of runs later in the third as Karson's single cleared the bases and gave the visitors a 4-0 edge. MIT registered the final run of the game in the ninth inning as sophomore Creed Mangrum (Sandy, Utah) scored from second base on a single by Karson.
Senior Chris Hendrix (Richardson, Tex.) moved to 5-1 on the mound for MIT as allowed one run on six hits through five innings of work. Sophomore Rob Bertucci (Belleville, Ill.) pitched three scoreless innings, while junior Henry Zhu (Overland Park, Kan.) threw a 1-2-3 ninth with two punchouts.
The Rams lone run of the evening came in the third inning as sophomore Devan Jones (Roslindale, Mass.) led the inning off with a single that was followed by sophomore Jake Cintolo's (Wrentham, Mass.) double. Junior Jhonneris Mendez (Boston, Mass.) drove in Jones with a sacrifice fly to centerfield.
Freshman Josh Desai (Shrewsbury, Mass.) was the tough luck loser once again on the mound for the Rams as he finished the year with a 1-4 mark. Desai allowed just one earned run in seven innings of work while striking out six.

Should I Remodel? Have you asked that?
Should I Remodel? is the first and maybe the most important question you should ask when considering remodeling. Remodeling isnt for everyone. Find out instantly if remodeling is the right choice for you. Our Should You Remodel? Calculator will ask you a series of questions about your likes, dislikes and goals and then provide you an answer.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Should I Remodel?
A: Unless you love the process or are a real estate investor who knows you will make a profit from remodeling a home then Should I remodel is a good question to ask. It is not a
simple answer and you should consider both the emotional and financial aspects of the decision. You should not only consider your answer to the Should I Remodel questions but others in your household as well who will be affected by the changes.
Q: Should I Remodel? What should I consider before deciding?
A: There are several important considerations. Both financial and emotional. Starting with the financial side of the decision. This does not mean that financial aspects of the should I remodel questions are more important but we had to start the answer with one of the two! Consider carefully the NET cost of remodeling versus the NET cost of doing nothing or moving or your other options. NET cost is the cost of what you pay to buy materials and have the work done minus the amount your home could appreciate due to a remodel. The NET cost of a move is the additional cost of a home, the extra costs of property taxes, etc. Subtract from this the additional amount the new home could appreciate versus the old. Finally when you ask yourself should I remodel doing nothing – not remodeling and not moving is an option. This often is the decision that is the best from a financial point of view – but you have to consider the emotional as well.
On the emotional side of the question Should I Remodel are issues such as the stress of making so many decisions, dealing with the interruptions to daily routine for many weeks and possibly months and having to work with strangers and let them into your home on a daily basis. None of these are trivial and for many people they are deal breakers and if any or all of these make remodeling too stressful or uncomfortable than remodeling may not be for you.
Q: Need help deciding if you should?
A: Try the should i remodel calculator consider your options and make the best decision to remodel or to move or may be do nothing.
Q: How the Remodeling Cost Calculators Work?
A: The Remodelormove.com remodeling cost calculator combines both methods to provide an estimate. The calculators use your location to estimate labor costs, your preferences for types of materials and fixtures as well as how much work you would like to do. Choosing economy, average or expensive materials for your remodel has a big impact on the overall costs for building your home. Use the Whole House Remodeling Cost calculator to get a quick estimate of the range to build your home.

What can I say about Graphic 45 paper that hasn't already been said? The designs are a tasteful update of period graphic art that creates a nostalgic mood based on the 1920s and '30s. The paper is a satisfying heavy weight and printed double sided. The coordinated sheets of tags, stickers, and fonts further add to the look. I am a great fan of this line of paper.
very nice variety made well

Obstructive sleep apnea is when a child briefly stops breathing while sleeping. It happens because of a blockage in the upper airway. This is the passages through the nose and mouth to the windpipe and lungs. The pause in breathing may occur many times in a night, disrupting the child's sleep. He or she may wake up gasping for air.
The condition is most commonly found in children ages 3 to 6.
The muscles in the head and neck help keep the upper airway open. When a child falls asleep, these muscles tend to relax. That allows tissues to fold closer together. If the airway is partially closed while awake, falling asleep may cause the passage to close completely.
In children, the most common cause for such a blockage is enlarged tonsils and adenoids. These glands are located at the back and to the sides of the throat. They may grow too large. Or an infection may cause them to swell. They may then briefly block the airway during sleep.
Obstructive sleep apnea may also be caused by:
Symptoms can occur a bit differently in each child. They can include:
The symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea can be like other health conditions. Make sure your child sees his or her healthcare provider for a diagnosis.
The healthcare provider will ask about your child's symptoms, health history, and sleep patterns. He or she will give your child a physical exam. Your child may also have a sleep study.
A sleep study is the best way to diagnose obstructive sleep apnea. But the test may be hard to do with younger children or those who don't want to cooperate. For the study, your child may need to sleep in a special lab. While sleeping, he or she will be connected to monitors that check:
Your child's healthcare provider may refer your child to a sleep expert for more evaluation.
Treatment will depend on your child's symptoms, age, and general health. It will also depend on how severe the condition is.
The treatment for obstructive sleep apnea is based on the cause. It may include:
Tips to help you get the most from a visit to your child's healthcare provider:

Quirky: Crowdsourced Products from Emerging Inventors
- Location: online only
- Website: quirky.com
Store History
- Founded: 2009
- Founded by: Ben Kaufman
- Headquarters: New York City
We've covered Quirky before on Unplggd as a startup for product designers, but we haven't really talked about it yet as a resource for shoppers. Like Kickstarter, the site relies on "pledges" from people to get funding for a project, but it's focused specifically on products for lifestyle and home. In the two years since its founding in 2009, Quirky has evolved into a great resource for smart cord controllers, iPad cases, and power hubs.
The site's mission is to foster innovative products that people really want, while helping emerging (often young and broke) industrial designers find an audience. Quirky uses three stages of product development:
- Presale: The stage when the site is "still collecting pre-order commitments" on a product. If you "commit" to a product at this stage, you get a price break, but you have to pay up if it goes into production. If the product isn't produced, you owe nothing.
- In Production: The product has generated enough committed buyers to become real, and Quirky has moved it into the manufacturing stages. If you've committed to a product, you'll receive an email when it's finished and ready to ship.
- Shipping Now: At this point, there's "a real live product, and it's ready to ship." After you complete your order with Quirky, the product will ship out within 24 hours.
Anyone purchased from Quirky before? Share your experience in the comments!
• Fender iPad 2 Bumper, $20 (in production)
• Pivot Power Flexible Power Strip, $30 (shipping now)
• Cordlets Cable Organizers, $10 (shipping now)

Brandeis will award 834 undergraduate degrees, as well as 883 graduate degrees and certificates, according to the Office of the Registrar.
Deborah Bial '87, founder and president of the Posse Foundation – which identifies talented public high school students who might otherwise be passed over by the traditional college-admissions process and sends them in multicultural teams to selective colleges – is the commencement speaker.
Honorary degrees will be bestowed upon Bial; Sydney Brenner, a pioneering molecular biologist and geneticist; Joseph Polisi, president of The Juilliard School; Amartya Sen, Nobel Prize-winning economist and philosopher, and, posthumously, to prominent philanthropist Myra Kraft '64, who managed the Robert and Myra Kraft Family Foundation and served as president of the New England Patriots Charitable Foundation.

The Phi Beta Kappa induction ceremony will take place at 1:30 p.m. Saturday on the main stage of Spingold Theater. It will be followed by a reception at 3 p.m. for all new Phi Beta Kappa members, their families and friends.

Posted: Sat Mar 09, 2013 1:08 pm
I don't see how that question follows... Because breaking is something we only talk about on the conventional level, the level of appearances, and on that level we're all well aware of how cups can break. And I don't get your last statement. When not broken, a cup is a cup. When chipped, it's a chipped cup. When smashed to shards, it's a cup that's been smashed to shards. Statements and understandings about phenomena on the conventional aka relative level correspond with how things appear to ordinary people.5heaps wrote:ok, then the question is, how did it break? if the cup is ended/broken then its not a cup "which is either broken or.."[b]Pema Rigdzin[/b] wrote:There can't be a moment of breaking.

If you do geometry (or approximation algorithms, for that matter) long enough, it becomes second nature to flip between primal and dual space. Points become hyperplanes, convex hulls become envelopes, and so on.
Here's a question that has been puzzling me: What is a good example of a problem where flipping between primal and dual (or even just going from one to the other) is the key to its solution ? Now obviously, there are NP-hard problems that admit a primal-dual solution, where by definition we need the dual space. I don't mean these kinds of problems.
I'm merely wondering if there is a relatively simple problem with a relatively simple solution that would be hard to explain without duality. The easiest that comes to mind is how the complexity of the convex hull in 3D is linear (because the complexity of the lower envelope in 3D is linear). Another potential example is the rotating calipers method for finding diameter/width etc: it can be much easier to see what's going on in the dual space.

- Premier League
Yanga-Mbiwa departs Montpellier for Newcastle
Newcastle United have confirmed the signing of Montpellier defender Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa for a fee believed to be in the region of £7 million, with the player penning a five-and-a-half-year deal at St James' Park.
Yanga-Mbiwa, 23, was captain of Montpellier as they secured the French league title in 2012, and had previously been linked with AC Milan and Arsenal.
He will wear the No. 13 for the Magpies and is delighted to have signed on Tyneside. "It is an honour to be able to come to Newcastle United and have the chance to play in the Premier League," the defender told the club's official website.
"Newcastle are one of the biggest clubs in the league, and I'm going to try and give everything I have so that the team can do well. I have experienced a lot of positive things so far in my career and one of those is joining this club."
With Alan Pardew keen to bolster his squad in January, the Magpies boss believes the arrival of Yanga-Mbiwa will give the squad a boost ahead of Tuesday's game against Aston Villa in a week's time.
"We needed to strengthen the team and bringing in Mapou will give the whole squad a boost. He is precisely the sort of player we've been looking to bring to the club," he said. "He is a good age for us but has plenty of experience at club and international level. Mapou is a talented footballer, good in the air and on the ground and has all the attributes to succeed as a quality defender in the Premier League. He's a good character too and that will be important for us over the next few months."
The France international advanced through the Montpellier youth academy and described his time at the club as "unforgettable".
"I have a challenge ahead. This was something I was waiting for and I wanted. Now it's for me to discover," he told mhscfoot.com. "It's a country where everyone loves football, where everyone lives for football and everybody wants to play ball. I really want to experience this culture.
"It's [Montpellier] my second family. I was welcomed with open arms and the club has given me everything. They formed me and truly gave me everything. Montpellier will be unforgettable. I don't know what to add. I feel that I have given everything, everything at maximum."
When asked about saying goodbye to his team-mates, he added: "It's difficult to say because I don't really know how to talk about these things. I don't like to see people emotional, it makes me uncomfortable. Because of that, I told them individually. They knew what I needed to say, that it was going to happen. It's weird that it's over - that I won't see them anymore, that I won't see my family anymore.
"Just like the club, they will be there both in the bad times and the good. They are attached to the club and to the players. It is a strong bond that unites us. I just want to say thank you. Thank you for being there and for supporting us. Thank you for giving us so much pleasure. In my head, just like the club, they are unforgettable.
"I hope that they will be there for Montpellier, that they come in numbers to the stadium in the good and the bad times. I hope that they remain in this bond."
The deal is one of several the club are hoping to secure this week after confirmation that Nancy full-back Massido Haidara and Bordeaux striker Yoann Gouffran are also set to move to Tyneside.

Panther Marching Band is largest in UNI history
With 280 members, this year's Panther Marching Band (PMB) is the largest in UNI history. This record-setting number not only reflects the consistent growth PMB has experienced over the years but also reflects the strength of the program.
UNI's Panther Marching Band performs in the UNI-Dome.
"It's great to know that so many students want to join our program," said director of PMB Danny Galyen. "The growth of the band really demonstrates the outstanding experience that students have in the band and in the School of Music."
With the increase in membership, the quality of the program can be expected to grow even more. "There is so much more that we can do with a larger marching band than with a smaller one," said Galyen. "We are really able to fill the Dome with sound and present a strong challenge to the Iowa and Iowa State bands now that we are of comparable size."
The marching band plans to take advantage of their new growth by performing at several events throughout the year and partnering with other groups. For their Homecoming halftime performance on Oct. 12, PMB partnered with the UNI Taiko drum ensemble to bring Japanese percussion into their set. The band will perform at the 2013 Cedar Rapids Indoor Marching Classic on Oct.14, and they will continue supporting area high schools at their Friday night football games.
While this may seem like a lot to take on, it's yet another testament to the strength of the marching band. "The students have this energy and passion for what they do," said Galyen. "We strive to be the best and most entertaining band in the state and in the region."

'Wich of the Week: Truffled Grilled Cheese With Asparagus
'Wich of the Week: Truffled Grilled Cheese With Asparagus
I'm always looking for unexpected things to put between two slices of bread, so when GiggleSugar let me taste her asparagus panini the other day, I couldn't wait to create a similar concoction. The secret, she said, was truffle-infused Parmesan cheese she got at Bristol Farms, so I picked some up and put together my own version of the sammie.
Asparagus is both in season right now and good for you, and today's 'Wich of the Week combines the yummy Spring vegetable with equally bold cheese. The strong flavor combination is balanced out by cold-cut roasted chicken, wheat bread, and balsamic reduction sauce. For the recipe and step-by-step instructions,
Truffled Grilled Cheese With Asparagus and Chicken
Original Recipe
- 1/2 bunch fresh asparagus
- 4 slices of wheat bread
- 1/4 lb. thin-sliced cold-cut roasted chicken
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 6 very thin slices of truffle-infused Parmesan cheese
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Makes 2 sandwiches.
- Preheat oven to 450°F.
- After washing the asparagus, trim the thicker, rough ends and discard. Arrange the asparagus on a baking sheet and coat lightly with olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. Roast for about 10 to 15 minutes, until tender.
- In a small saucepan over very low heat, slowly heat the balsamic vinegar, stirring occasionally, until it's reduced by about two-thirds. Set aside and let cool.
- Coat one side of each slice of bread with the balsamic reduction sauce, spreading just enough to cover the surface of the bread.
- On each of the two bottom slices, divide the chicken and lay the slices flat over the balsamic spread.
- Evenly divide the asparagus between the two sandwiches and lay the spears side by side atop the chicken.
- Gently lay the thin slices of cheese on top of the asparagus, and cover each sandwich with the remaining two slices of bread, vinegar side down.
- Place in a panini press and cook for about five minutes, until cheese is melted and bread is lightly browned. (If you don't own a panini maker, you can place the sandwiches on a baking sheet in a 350 degree oven, and cover with a cast-iron skillet to press. Cook for 5 to 10 minutes.)

You've probably never heard of them, but the Dodgers' Class A affiliate is about to become the hottest ticket in minor league baseball. Inland Empire just might be the first stop on the Manny Being Manny Reunion Tour.
Manny Ramirez is eligible to re-join the Dodgers on July 3, but because being suspended 50-games for PED use is exactly like pulling a hamstring, Manny will go on a minor league "rehab" assignment first. The Dodgers indicated that his first game could be for the Inland Empire 66ers next Thursday. What the heck is an Inland Empire 66er? Glad you asked!
Where/what is Inland Empire? Inland Empire is the colloquial term for the eastern part of Southern California that does not touch the Pacific Ocean (i.e., the dry, dusty, annoying part.) The team plays its home games at Arrowhead Credit Union Park in scenic San Bernardino. Come for the freeways, stay for the brush fires! Their full official name is actually the Inland Empire 66ers of San Bernardino, which makes the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim seem quaint.
What's a 66er? Route 66, dummy. Yes, they are named after a road that symbolized independence and adventure for a entire generation of annoying beatniks. Ask your dad.
Why would anyone play baseball in San Bernandino? The team actually relocated from Salinas after relocating from Fresno, two other hot beds of hardball. They've also been known as the Spirit and the Stampede, which are just as non-threatening as a two-lane highway.
Dear God, what is that thing? That's Bernie, the San Bernandino ... guy? According to his bio, Bernie was originally the mascot of the Utah Grizzlies, even though he does not appear to have any bear-like qualities. Looks like a damn dirty hippie to me.
Are these guys any good? No! The 66ers are currently 3rd in the California League South Division, 13 games back.
Is Manny the best player that will ever wear their uniform? Almost. Ken Griffey Jr. played 58 games in San Bernardino, but that was actually a different organization that relocated to Rancho Cucamonga and sold their nickname to the current S.B. team. Other notable alumni—of the town, if not the exact team—include Felix Hernandez, Adrian Beltre, Mac Suzuki, Paul Konerko and Mike Hampton, who may or may not be there on a rehab assignment right now.
So that's all you need to know, really. Starting next Thursday they play three at Lake Elisnore followed by a homestand against the rival(?) Rancho Cucamonga Quakes, all within driving distance of Manny's Pasadena home. So get your kicks with Inland Empire. Unless the Dodgers change their mind and I've just wasted all of our time.

Nelson Mandela was, quite famously, a fan of European classical music. His two favorite composers were George Frideric Handel and Pyotr Ilych Tchaikovsky, but he grew up exposed to the country's rich tradition of vocal groups forging a unique form of sacred rhythm music.
That changed while the former South African president and longtime democratic activist was imprisoned by the pro-apartheid government from 1962 to 1990. He wasn't allowed access to music.
Artists, however, used Mandela's jailing to fuel global protest songs, and during his years in captivity Mandela's messages were delivered on the wings of rhythm and melody.

Studying for the LSAT / Has anyone take used Fox Test Prep?« on: June 10, 2013, 05:49:24 PM »
I am in the process of choosing a prep company and I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with Fox Test Prep's online program. I have taken the lsat and I got a 139 the first time. I have 3.99 UGPA I'm a urm I can speak three languages. If I can just get it up 15-20 points by Octobers test I feel I will be giving myself a good chance to get into law school. Fox Test Prep is based out of San Francisco and being a working student that is not practical for me to travel to take the face-to-face program. I have read several wonderful reviews online but I have yet to see anything on this forum addressing this company. Any advice or suggestion are most welcome.

In the aforementioned situations, Office of Student Development personnel, outside agencies, and/or parents/guardians will be contacted as appropriate to specific circumstances.
In order to provide the most effective services possible, individual counselors routinely participate in confidential case consultation with other members of the counseling staff. In certain situations, consultation with other department directors within the Office of Student Development may be necessary in order to better assist the student.

Joons –
We are still coming off from our Thanksgiving high and trying to work off all that additional weight we gained stuffing our faces with turkey and fessenjoon. We're hoping you're in better shape than we are. As a result, we're trying to shake off that fessenjoon-goodness by letting someone else take the spotlight tonight.
We've had the opportunity to interview some amazing people – from bad asses Ashley Momtaheni and Nima Pourahmadi to rockstar IPANEEMA. So imagine our delight, when Comedian Maz Jobrani agreed to not just an interview — but to giving us some love advice. It sounds crazy — why would S&F need love advice? But you would be surprised…
To be honest, we were a little hesitant at first… What can Maz tell us that we don't already know? Follow your heart? Bla bla bla. So we decided to investigate and we knew we found the right person for the job when we saw this:
Maz Jobrani 2.0 — a combination of Maz Jobrani's comedic swagger, our Persian dads, and all around love guru.
Plus Jimmy's an Amerikan hero — can you get any sexier than that?
– Dear Jimmy,
My entire dating history consists of dating Iranian guys. It's what my parents approve of – it's the only "race" they will ever allow me to marry into. But lately, I've really been into guys outside of my culture. White guys, black guys … the forbidden fruit. I've just met this great black guy that I really want to date, but I'm too afraid my parents will never approve of him! What do I do? How do I get my parents to see things from my perspective?
Dees eez a question dat come up all de time in dees day and age. Az you know ve leev in a very melting pot, but I say…

FN SC 1™ Over/Under Blue Shotguns
StockPricesNow.com - Shooters Welcome
Welcome to the StockPricesNow Guns, Ammo & Aerospace page. Whether it's for sport, hunting for food, tangible investments, personal and home protection, or just to hold, guns are awesome. When you pull the trigger and that cannon goes bang, it's pure testosterone coming out the end. Nothing can take the place of a day at the gun range, dropping some wild game during a hunt, or blasting shotguns at the skeet field. Guns get a bad rap, however without them what would we shoot stuff with?
In recent years the price of firearms has gone up dramatically. Great for the owners, not so much for the buyers. Now firearm enthusiasts are also facing a serious ammunition shortage, not to mention over double in price when you can find it. There are only three publicly traded gun companies out there, Smith & Wesson Holding Corporation (SWHC), Sturm, Ruger & Co. Inc. (RGR), and Olin Corp. (OLN) are enjoying the scarcity mentality of the current market. The majority of small arms makers, Marlin, Browning, Beretta, Glock, Colt, Mossberg, H&K, Savage, Bushmaster and Remington are all private companies. Their products are being scooped up in record amounts, reflecting in the success of their stock prices now. There are some non-lethal players out there such as TASER International Inc. (TASR), Stinger Systems Inc. (STYS), and Lamperd Less Lethal, Inc. (LLLI). In the current state of the union it's the small-arms companies that are meeting "resistance." Like all booms, there are busts. Don't get caught looking down the wrong end of the barrel.
Enter The Big Boys - Aerospace Defense.
These are the companies that make the big toys. Tanks, rockets, missile guidance systems, helicopters, fighter jets, drones and just about every weapon and technological advancement conceived by man to kick another mans ass are made by these several billion dollar companies. Some of them are household names like The Boeing Company (BA), General Electric Company (GE), Rolls Royce (RYCEY) and Honeywell International (HON). The majority though, including Rockwell Collins Inc. (COL), Lockheed Martin (LMT), United Technologies Corp. (UTX), and General Dynamics Corp. (GD), stick to the weapons of maximum destruction. With products like Boeing 777 Dreamliners, Boeing 787 Dreamliners, unmanned drones, black hawk helicopters, and laser guided missile defense systems, these companies almost across the board have been able to bring gold consistently with no end in sight.
Back to guns. It's our belief that with Guns & Ammunition, it is much better to have guns and not need them, then to need guns and not have them. Parents, please teach your kids proper gun safety, along with the responsibilities that come with handling firearms. Grand Theft Auto and Call of Duty will not.

Matthews attacks Clinton: Criticism of Bush homeland security cuts after London bombings made her look "more witchy"
Video ››› ››› MEDIA MATTERS STAFF
Loading the player reg...
On MSNBC's Hardball, host Chris Matthews said Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY) "looked more witchy" because she criticized the Bush administration's homeland security spending priorities on July 8, a day after the London bombings.
Matthews and his guests, New York Post Washington bureau chief Deborah Orin and Washington Post columnist E.J. Dionne Jr., were initially discussing Clinton's July 10 comment that "I sometimes feel that Alfred E. Neuman is in charge in Washington," a reference to the Mad magazine mascot and his slogan, "What, me worry?" Discussing those comments, Matthews asked Orin, "Why is she [Clinton] putting the shiv in the very week, weekend and weekday, right now, Monday, when the people are rallying around the president because of the latest terrorism?"
Later, Orin called the timing of Clinton's homeland security criticisms "tone-deaf" because July 8 was "not the day to immediately whack the president," at which point Matthews chimed in: "It's a fact. You look more witchy when you're doing it like this."
From the July 11 edition of MSNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews:
MATTHEWS: E.J., let me ask you this. I know this is red meat for you, Deborah. You write for the New York Post. Hillary Clinton yesterday in Aspen, Colorado, at a think-tank thing -- I was at part of it last week -- she came out and said that the president is Alfred E. Neuman, the guy in Mad comics, the idiot guy on the front page of the magazine for all those years, Mad comics, and all he can say is, "What, me worry?" She's apparently been using this as her stock and trade the last week on terrorism.
ORIN: I don't get it. I honestly don't get it. And she is starting to get some firing back. I mean, this is not exactly appropriate stuff --
MATTHEWS: Why is she putting the shiv in the very week, weekend and weekday, right now, Monday, when the people are rallying around the president because of the latest terrorism?
ORIN: I don't know the answer to that. I think it is dumb. She is usually quite smart. And I think it's dumb.
MATTHEWS: OK. Why did she accuse the president of -- here's a smarter one, E.J. She accused the president last Friday of cutting $50 million from subway security. Right at the moment the attack on the subways in England, the underground, she's whacking the president for cutting defense money, security money for our own subways.
DIONNE: And that's true. I talked last Friday to Sen. Susan Collins, a Republican of Maine, the chair of the Homeland Security Committee. She didn't attack the president, but she made the same point, that we have underinvested in mass transit security. We've underinvested in port security. I think this is going to be a big issue in the coming days.
So, I think it is a perfectly legitimate thing to say. Are we spending our homeland security money right? Are we safer now than we were a year ago?
MATTHEWS: And she is safe being this anti-Bush?
DIONNE: She also said, like everybody else, that, of course, our hearts go out to the people in London. You ought to be able to do a couple of things at the same time.
MATTHEWS: You think you can set two different tones at the same time, national solidarity and whack the president in the kneecaps the same day?
DIONNE: Well, no, national solidarity and where do we go from here? How do we protect ourselves?
ORIN: I agree with you, Chris, and I disagree with E.J. I think that was not -- it was tone-deaf. It was a day of tragedy in London. And that's not the day to immediately whack the president, you know, "And if it happens here, it will be your fault" sort of thing.
MATTHEWS: I hate to say this. I'm not going to hate to say it. It's a fact. You look more witchy when you're doing it like this.
Let me ask you about this argument.
DIONNE: By the way, [Sen.] Chuck Schumer [D-NY] was there with her saying --
MATTHEWS: I know. OK. Well --
DIONNE: -- there's a real problem with mass transit and security. And we don't call him a witch.
MATTHEWS: Funny we only heard one of them.
DIONNE: Yes.

Hundreds mourn fan who fell to death
For the last 18 years, firefighter Shannon Stone's family dreaded getting a phone call telling them something had gone horribly wrong.
That call came Thursday night. Only it had nothing to do with his dangerous job. It was about a freak accident that occurred to Stone while taking his 6-year-old son to a Texas Rangers game, and trying to catch a ball tossed his way by the boy's favorite player, Josh Hamilton.
The 39-year-old Stone lost his balance and fell headfirst about 20 feet onto concrete with his son, Cooper, watching. Witnesses said Stone was conscious after landing and spoke about Cooper being left alone. Stone was pronounced dead within an hour; an autopsy ruled the cause as blunt force trauma from the fall.
The unfathomable circumstances behind Stone's death has made his loss even more difficult for family, friends and fellow firefighters. Hundreds mourned him during a public visitation Sunday, many leaving the funeral home with tissues in hand, tears in their eyes, their voices crackling with emotion.
"When you're married to someone that's a first responder, you go into it knowing there's that possibility," said Trease Burke, whose husband, Scotty, was a Brownwood police officer for 14 years and is now on the Lake Patrol. "But you don't expect it to be like this. … You don't expect it to be a freak accident."
Media was asked to stay out of the funeral home. Many of those leaving the building declined to be interviewed, citing the family's wishes.
"It's still obviously a very somber occasion," Brownwood Mayor Stephen Haynes said. "The family of course is honoring him appropriately and celebrating his life. But it's still difficult to accept, obviously, the nature of the death and the timing of the death and the way that it happened."
A funeral is scheduled for Monday, followed by a procession to the cemetery that was expected to include more than 100 fire trucks from across the region. Representatives of the Texas Rangers were planning to attend, too.
Brownwood is a town of about 20,000 residents in the Hill Country of central Texas, some 150 miles west of the Rangers' stadium in Arlington. Flags across the area have been at half-staff since Friday, with several wreaths and a dozen yellow roses left in his memory at a monument outside the fire department.
"We're a small town," Haynes said. "We're not (small) enough that everyone knows everyone, but we are small enough that everyone is impacted in some way. Everyone has a friend or family member who was close to that family."
Jarratt Lawler grew up with Stone in Cleburne, about 100 miles from Brownwood. They weren't especially close, but renewed acquaintances a year ago at their 20-year high school reunion. Lawler was so moved by Stone's death that he drove 3 1/2 hours from McKinney with his pregnant wife and young daughter just to pay his respects.
"He was an all-around good guy," Lawler said. "He was just always trying to help people, always did the right things."
Stone was twice voted firefighter of the year by his peers, Haynes said. He worked as a paramedic, and as a rescue technician at Texas Motor Speedway. He also was involved in disaster relief following Hurricanes Katrina and Ike, and fighting wildfires.
"He was a character," Scotty Burke said. "He was a firefighter's firefighter. You could see that in his dedication to the job. He was very professional on the job. Off the job, he was lighthearted and always had something good to say."
Haynes said there already has been discussion of a permanent way of remembering Stone.
"Certainly we're going to do what we can to keep his memory and the honor of what he stands for alive for as long as we can," Haynes said.

Polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) is an inflammatory disorder. It involves pain and stiffness in the shoulder and often the hip.
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Polymyalgia rheumatica most often occurs in people over 50 years old. The cause is unknown.
PMR may occur before or with giant cell arteritis (also called
The most common symptom is pain and stiffness in both shoulders and the neck. This pain usually progresses to the hips. Fatigue is also present. People with this condition find it increasingly hard to move around.
Other symptoms include:
- Appetite loss, which leads to
weight loss
- Depression
Signs and tests
Lab tests alone cannot diagnose polymyalgia rheumatica. Most patients with this condition have a high sedimentation rate (
Other test results for this condition include:
- Abnormal proteins in the blood
- Abnormal white blood cells
Anemia(low blood count)
These tests may also be used to monitor your condition.
There is no cure for polymyalgia rheumatica. Low doses of corticosteroids (such as prednisone) can ease symptoms within a day or two. The dose can then be slowly reduced to a very low level, but treatment needs to continue for about 2 - 6 years.
Corticosteroids can cause many side effects so you need to be watched closely if you are taking these medicines.
Expectations (prognosis)
Polymyalgia rheumatica usually goes away by itself after 2 - 6 years. You can stop taking medicines after this point.More severe symptoms can make it harder for you to work or take care of yourself at home.
Calling your health care provider
Call your health care provider if you have weakness or stiffness in your shoulder and neck that does not go away, and you also have symptoms such as fever and headache.
There is no known prevention.

Tenth in a series exploring the April 26-28 NFL draft. Next: Defensive ends.
There are more teams looking for safeties than there are desirable safeties in this draft. As a result, look for some to be drafted too high. Aside from Mark Barron, there aren't any safeties worth considering early in the draft and few worth considering before the late rounds.
The best
1. Mark Barron, Alabama, 6-1, 213. He is tough, smart and competitive and should be a fine leader in the secondary. He is very adept in run support, as he takes good angles and makes secure tackles. Barron has not been asked to cover a lot, and his coverage skills could...

Baby-doll tops don't appeal to this baby boomer.
One morning when I was in third grade, my brother told me that we didn't have to go to school for the next two weeks. "The teacher had her baby," he announced.
"Baby?" I wondered. "What are you talking about?"
My brother was amazed at my stupidity. "Didn't you know she was expecting? Why did you think she was wearing big shirts?"
"Nobody told me," I protested. And that was the day that I learned. If a lady wore big shirts, it could mean she was pregnant.
What do pregnant ladies wear, 50 years later? Well, some don't hide under baggy shirts. Their garb makes it clear that they are quite pregnant. Even little third-grade country girls could probably figure it out.
Traditional maternity styles are still available for those who prefer them, as well as tailored styles for business women, and much more. Fashion-wise, it's a great time to be pregnant.
And what do fashion designers offer for us ladies who aren't pregnant? Take a look at the style of this shirt and this one. No, they're not maternity shirts. They're "baby-dolls" (not to be confused with baby-doll maternity wear, of course.)
Baby-dolls are probably very comfortable, but you won't find me wearing one. I don't care if they are fashionable, retro, hippy, or what-have-you. I wore enough shirts like that when I really was pregnant.

Eradicate Her Too
I wanted to take another shot at this and change some things that I didn't really like so much but I don't know that this is all that successful either. Pfffrap
I'm including the color rough from my initial sketch because I quite prefer the pose to what I ended up with in the final drawing. That's what overworking your dumb drawings gets you. Stiff, ugly garbage. :0

Hey you. I guess I should let you know that I'm going to be at ECCC with my baby boy, Nate Blehyurhrgarg or whatever. We'll be at table C-09 as you can see in that picture that I made that's cool because I guess we're a ghost or something? Anyway, as cool as that is, that's not even the coolest bit because the coolest bit is that I have a NEW SKETCHBOOK
That's right! I made a new sketchbook which collects some of the cooler sketches that I did for folks in copies of my previous sketchbook, LOOKIT. So you guys realize what that means, right? It's a sketchbook of a bunch of sketches that YOU HAVEN'T EVEN SEEN, unless one of the sketches happens to be in your copy of LOOKIT, but then hey, there's 95 other sketches that will be new to you. OH YEAH DID I NOT MENTION THAT IT'S 96 PAGES LONG well it is.
LOOK AT IT, the Cory Walker sketchbook volume two is a 5.5x5.5 96 page perfect bound bundle of 98% all new material which is way cooler than buying a sketchbook full of shit from the ol' blog here, right? I hope so.
Anyway, it looks like this:
SEE YOU THERE (at ECCC I mean)

So here's another one of these dumb things.
Originally, I had her top and skirt bit blue, but I filled it in white and preferred that, so I went with it. I had also made it where her top was blue, the skirt bit was red and the leggings were white, but aside from the fact that I've already done white leggings to death on these, it kinda just made it look even more like just plain clothes or whatever and I like the idea of the top and skirt bit being one piece of fabric, anyhow.
Luv u

Sorry this drawing is so how it is. I tried several poses that weren't working out and finally just gave up! Hooray! S-A-D is super fun and not boring now at all.
I was also going to just post it on a white background and make you all strain your eyes to make out the silhouette of the costume bits but I'm not a monster you're welcome

Well, there you go, okay.
Honestly, I'm getting a little bored and this nonsense is starting to get in the way of work. I dunno! Tune in tomorrow to see if I keep it up through February, and to see if I keep doing sketches.

So, I feel like I need to make something clear to you guys. If you think I'm mocking Rob Liefeld when I draw these characters, you're mistaken. This shit is awesome, and I have a blast drawing this stuff for my sketch blog. The Bloodwulf from yesterday was inspired by a Bloodwulf piece that I saw and I was all liek oh jesus christ that's awesome I have to draw Bloodwulf now.
These posts are not an ivitation to mock Rob. I think that's a horse that has been beaten WELL past death.
Try to enjoy more things.
I ain't mad or anything and I love you all, it just needed to be said.

This horse walks into the Nature section at the Newberry Book Fair. The volunteer says "Why the long face?"
"I can't buy many books," says the horse, "My wife's a nag."
We're all still working on ways to spread the word about the 30th Book Fair (or, as I like to call it, the Sixth Annual 25th Anniversary Book Fair.) I think I know my way vaguely around these Interwebs by now, and I see that what really gets attention is political hate spam, announcements that you have ten million dollars waiting in a Slobbovian bank, pornographic pictures, videos of cute babies, kitties who can't spell, and bad jokes. Around here we spell too well for the kitties (AND the ten million dollar bank announcements.) The videos of cute babies are kind of co-opted by their parents, who figure THEY should be the one to profit (and I think that goes for the naughty snapshots as well.) I have no particular taste or aptitude for political spam. But SOME people feel I have a skill at bad jokes. I don't know how this fallacious gossip spreads so well online.
These two tourists from Springfield walk into the Newberry Book Fair. One picks up a book and says, "Hey, they printed this one upside-down!"
"Try not to look so stupid, Stupid," says her friend. "That's the Australian edition!"
The trouble is that jokes move from email to email as they used to move from television to common conversation. A joke may get started at a computer in Little Rock on Monday morning and turn up in a thousand email boxes before midnight. So I can't go swiping from any of my recent emails. Those same jokes might have been sent to every single blogreader by the time I use it, causing only a yawn when I'm going for a boffo belly laugh. (Which is about my average, anyhow.)
A writer for Reader's Digest decades ago reported that he was always being asked if he could get a person's subscription out one week early, so he wouldn't be repeating the same jokes everyone else in his circle was telling. He suggested that the person simply pick up a Reader's Digest from last year. His friends would have forgotten the jokes by then, and he'd be the only one telling those. So that's probably my solution: go into the old joke books.
Knock Knock.
Who's there?
The Interrupting Customer.
The interrupting cus….
What's the price on this?
We actually get quite a lot of joke books at the Book Fair, so I suppose I could go through those for source material. From time to time we get magazines which were once fairly common on the newsstands of this country, the joke collection for professionals. Once, in the days of vaudeville, comedians were always on the lookout for new material. Some hired writers, but other's bought copies of little books in tiny tiny type with hundreds of jokes written by people who just cranked them out. They could churn out jokes by the hundreds, knowing THEY would never have to deliver them. Sometimes they went for themes (we have a great one where the writer does a mock train trip from coast to coast, mocking states and their inhabitants in passing and, in the meantime, throwing in all the train jokes he knew) while others preferred more of a shotgun technique, knowing jokes about politicians, husbands, wives, children, food, and the clergy would always be in demand. I would not be the first person to hunt these up for inspiration, knowing a joke someone's never heard is new, no matter how old it is. (I recognized a joke in an internationally known comic strip once and thought nothing of it. But when all his punchlines that week came from the same page in a Victorian jokebook I owned, and were actually used in the same order they had been printed on the page, I knew I shared the cartoonist's little secret.)
So I think I will start sending out bad Book Fair jokes by Twitter any day now. If you come in July and buy one of the books I'm looting, you have to promise to keep MY little secret. Why? Well, you know how a crow answers when a Book Fair customer asks that.
(How does a crow answer when a customer asks "Why?", Uncle Blogsy?

The St. Louis Rams announced the signing of 10 players to their practice squad on Monday, and defensive end Michael Sam was not among them.
The absence of Sam, the first openly gay player in the NFL, brings him a little bit closer to being a man without a team this season.
He was waived by the Rams on Saturday, and no team picked him up off waivers. His chances of being employed by the NFL this year decreased further when the Rams did not sign him to the practice squad.
The Rams announced the practice-squad signings linebacker Denicos Allen, wide receiver Emory Blake, safety Christian Bryant, defensive tackle Matt Conrath, safety Matt Daniels, quarterback Garrett...

ALFRED, NY – Senior placekicker Eric Rockwood booted a 29-yard field goal in overtime, sending the 23rd-ranked Alfred University football team to a thrilling 32-29 overtime win over Hartwick before a capacity Homecoming crowd at Merrill Field Saturday afternoon.
Rockwood's field goal, his fourth of the game, came after Hartwick missed a field goal on the Hawks' opening possession of the extra session. With the victory, AU improves to 4-1 overall and evens its Empire 8 Conference record at 1-1. Hartwick (2-3) falls to 0-2 in the conference.
Hartwick forced overtime when the Hawks, down 29-21, scored on a four-yard pass from Dan Brainard to Chris Hose with 3:43 left, then converted the two-point conversion. Alfred drove to the Hartwick 34-yard line on the Saxons' ensuing possession but turned the ball over on downs.
The Saxons took a 29-21 led with 10:10 left in the fourth when sophomore tailback Austin Dwyer burst through the right side and ran down the sideline on a 67-yard scoring run. Dwyer's score capped a 17-0 AU scoring run over the third and fourth quarters that erased a 21-13 deficit.
Hartwick built its lead off two AU turnovers to start the second half. The first, on an eight-yard TD pass from Brainard to Jordan Wilkins 22 seconds into the second half, came one play after Hartwick's Pete Jackson intercepted AU senior quarterback Tom Secky. On Alfred's ensuing possession, Ray Mitchell intercepted Secky and returned the ball 40 yards for a TD, putting Hartwick up 21-13.
Alfred outgained Hartwick 435 yards to 272, but for the second straight week the Saxons were hurt by turnovers. A week after six miscues cost AU in a 17-3 loss at St, John Fisher, Alfred turned the ball over three times against Hartwick, leading to 14 Hawk points. A third turnover, on a fumble, would lead to a Hartwick punt.
Hartwick took a 7-0 lead on a one-yard Brainard run with 3:35 left in the first before AU took a 13-7 halftime lead. The Saxons scored on their third possession of the game, driving 55 yards in seven plays, with Secky tossing a 14-yard TD pass to junior tailback Tyler DeRosa with 1:24 left in the opening frame. Rockwood booted a pair of second-quarter field goals, from 24 and 26 yards, to five the Saxons a six-point edge heading into intermission.
Rockwood added a 37-yard field goal with just under seven minutes left in the third and senior linebacker Nick Clark put Alfred ahead, 22-21, with a two-yard run with 3:39 left in the third. Dwyer's long run gave the Saxons an eight-point lead that Hartwick erased late in the fourth.
Dwyer finished with 119 yards on 16 carries. It was the fourth time in five games this year he has eclipsed the 100-yard rushing mark. DeRosa added 40 yards on 10 carries. Secky shook off the two picks to throw for 281 yards and a score. Junior tight end Adam Schutz caught five passes for a career-best 109 yards, while sophomore wideouts Justin Oliver (76 yards) and Josh Phillips (67 yards) each caught six passes.
Rockwood finished a perfect four-of-four on field goals and two-of-two on extra points while averaging 41.4 yards on five punts (landing three inside the 20).
Brainard threw for 227 yards and a pair of scores for Hartwick. Tailback Anthony Casimano caught a game-high nine passes for 55 yards and ran 16 times for 61 yards. Wilkins caught seven passes for 112 yards and a score.
Clark led the AU defense with 11 tackles (eight solo) and two pass breakups. Junior nose guard Mike Raplee had five tackles, including a sack, and junior free safety Jon Jackson had four solo tackles, an interception, a pass breakup and a blocked punt. Junior strong safety Reggie Pressley and senior linebacker Wes Smith each had seven tackles.
Bryan Schweitzer had a game-high 13 tackles and two forced fumbles and Jordan Spirou added 10 (two sacks, 2.5 tackles for loss) and a fumble recovery to pace the Hawk defense.
Alfred is in action next on Saturday, Oct. 15, at 12 p.m. when the Saxons entertain 22nd-ranked and unbeaten Salisbury in a key Empire 8 matchup

Time to buy new screenwriting software. Deciding between MMS and FD.
Both have their good and bad points.
If you write screenplays, what program do you use and how do you like it?
I'm on Windows, by the way.
Time to buy new screenwriting software. Deciding between MMS and FD.
Both have their good and bad points.
If you write screenplays, what program do you use and how do you like it?
I'm on Windows, by the way.
My two cents (for you, free): My only experience has been with word processors (which is why I'm not charging you for this). It seems to me that the primary function the software has to perform is formatting; and the lesser goal is production-type stuffbreakdown sheets, revision color codingthings that a screenwriter initially has little or no concern with. So I would look for simplicity of controlling the format itself. Price I would put last, this being a once-in-a-while purchase that can have a big impact on productivity.
(I'm sure you've considered this stuff already. It'll be interesting to see what others have to say, those with hands-on experience.)
I think it is really is necessary to have a software package for screenplays. They're incredibly helpful. I have screenwriter friends who use FD, but my experience is with MMS. I know I'm buying one or the other. FD claims to be the "industry standard," but either one is acceptable. Price wise, there's no big difference. I just know I'm only buying one, not two, so I have to make a decision.
One thing I like about MMS is how easy it seems to be to import a document from Word to MMS and format it. It's cool. I have a bunch of stuff in Word that I want to import.
Thank you for the two cent freebee, Jayce. I appreciate it.
Hey leslee,
I have both and use both depending upon which the producer I'm working with has or prefers. I used to always use screenwriter for my specs, but for some reason I started my latest one in Final Draft. I haven't upgraded to the newest version of either, so I don't know how they stack up when it comes to the bells and whistles they've added.
It's easy to import word docs into either program - just save a word doc as an rtf file and Final Draft can read it. But beware because both Screenwriter and Final Draft have glitches when they import and they tend to randomly screw up the formatting here and there - so you'll need to proof carefully no matter which one you get.
You may be able to download trial versions to see which one you find more user friendly. Another option is Celtx which is free.
Thanks, Simon. I was hoping you'd turn up and see my post.
I decided on Final Draft and bought it today. I got a very nice holiday package deal that included a lot of other interesting downloads as well. Looking forward to learning a new program.

A 22-year-old man shot in the arm late Saturday night and treated at Bayhealth-Kent General Hospital refused to cooperate with Dover Police Department officers in locating a suspect.
Dover Police Department patrol officers responded to a report of a shooting victim who arrived at Bayhealth-Kent General Hospital ER at 11:56 pm Saturday.
The 22-year-old man was shot in the left arm area of South Kirkwood Street by an unknown suspect, Dover Police Lt. Daniel McKeown said. The Dover Police Criminal Investigations Unit began their investigation into the incident and believed the suspect was shot with a shotgun containing bird or steel shot (numerous small pellets).
However, the victim refused to cooperate in the investigation or the identification of the suspect, McKeown said. A spent shotgun shell consistent with the victim's wound was located in the area of 39 S. Kirkwood Street, he said.
There is no known motive for the shooting at this time, McKeown said. The suspect faces charges of assault in the second degree and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Dover Police Department at (302)736-7111. Callers may remain anonymous.
Tips can also be submitted to law enforcement through tip lines maintained by Delaware Crime Stoppers at 1-800-TIP-3333 or on-line at www.tipsubmit.com.
