Jennings leads offense, but Rays drop rubber match
KANSAS CITY -- Wednesday afternoon's knockout punch wasn't what it appeared to be, according to Jake Odorizzi.

KANSAS CITY -- Wednesday afternoon's knockout punch wasn't what it appeared to be, according to Jake Odorizzi.
Alex Gordon's three-run homer in the fifth off the Rays right-hander put away Tampa Bay in a 7-3 Royals win at Kauffman Stadium, but Odorizzi did not feel as though he made a bad pitch.View Full Game Coverage
"That was the first [ball] that got up in the air," Odorizzi said. "It got up high enough and kept going, and just barely made it out. The home run, it looks bad, but I know I made my pitch. It's a fly ball in any other park than what we're in today.
"...The [pitch] was a split, he went down and got it and put it up in the air. And you can see what happens when you get one up in the breeze today. It just kept blowing and barely got out. So I'm not too worried about it. It's just something that happened. And we'll move past it and focus on Baltimore."
In between Kansas City and Baltimore, the Rays will travel to Cincinnati to play three over the weekend before Odorizzi gets to take the mound next week against the Orioles.
The Rays will carry a 1-2 mark on the current road trip to the Queen City after losing the series to the Royals and falling to 5-5 on the season.
Wednesday's afternoon affair appeared to be trending in the Rays' direction when Desmond Jennings broke up a scoreless tie with a 407-foot home run to center field off Jeremy Guthrie to lead off the fourth, putting the Rays up 1-0.
Odorizzi appeared to have some wind in his sails when he toed the rubber to start the bottom half of the fourth, having logged nine scoreless innings on the season. But that's when the Royals got busy.
Johnny Giavotella and Eric Hosmer each singled to start the inning. Billy Butler's groundout drove home Giavotella from third and Gordon added an RBI single to put the Royals up, 2-1.
Lorenzo Cain singled to open the Royals' fifth and scored one out later when Nori Aoki tripled to right. Giavotella's sacrifice fly scored Aoki to push the lead to 4-1.
Though the Rays trailed by three, Joe Maddon wasn't concerned about Odorizzi. That belief came through in fact that nary a Rays reliever could be seen warming in the bullpen.
"I thought he was fine," Maddon said. "Ground ball up the middle. ... Aoki's was the only ball that was hit properly. I thought he was still throwing well and was not in trouble."
Hosmer and Butler followed with singles before Gordon connected on an 0-1 pitch for a 396-foot, three-run homer off Odorizzi. Not only did Gordon's blast give the Royals a 7-1 lead, it gave the team its first home run of the season.
Initially, Gordon thought it was a home run off the bat before doubt settled in.
"I kind of did a nice little pose," Gordon said. "But then when I saw Wil [Myers] kind of drifting back on it, I thought there might be a chance it'd stay in. And with this park, you just never know -- it's so big. I keep waiting for the owners to move the fences in, but they keep moving 'em back so there's no cheap home runs here."
Odorizzi allowed a career-high seven runs on 10 hits and a walk while striking out four in five innings to take his first loss of the season.
"He really didn't pitch as bad as the scoreboard showed," Rays catcher Ryan Hanigan said. "A lot of weak hits off the barrel, finding holes, guys breaking their swing down, so I wasn't too upset. A couple of 0-1 pitches, we got hurt on. And on an 0-1 count, you know I feel we need to do better."
Meanwhile, Jennings' home run served the only blemish to Guthrie's line. The veteran right-hander allowed just four hits and a walk, striking out four in moving to 2-0 on the season.
Guthrie "kept the ball down," Hanigan said. "He was low in the zone. Changed speeds. Used all of his pitches. We just didn't put too many good swings on the ball."
The Rays have lost eight of their last night games at Kauffman Stadium, and they have not won consecutive games at the Royals' park since Oct. 2-3, 2010.
"They got us," Maddon said. "They've played really well against us here the last couple of years and you've got to give them credit."

We're working on lots of new features for the site, one of which will be downloading a large group of things (ie: a kit). As we think through the organization of this, I was wondering how people preferred to buy them. Do you prefer everything to come in a big bundle, or do you like to purchase papers separate from elements? Any other thoughts on kit organization and purchasing are welcome.
Preference When Purchasing Kits
I like having the option for both... sometimes I really just like the paper and don't need the elements, or vice versa. You could always have them separate and then offer a "bundle price" at a discounted rate. Thats what I've seen some stores do. Not sure how easy that is to manage though, I've never ran an online store before.
I like to buy them separately, because sometimes I just need the elements, or the papers. I almost never use alphas, so I could not buy this part of the kit and save space in my - small - harddrive, and pay only for what I will really use. However, Brazilian designers dont sell parts of the kit separately.
I think an option where you can buy it in pieces and then a bundle with everything with some discount is a good working system
I think an option to either buy seperately or in a bundle would be nice. That way you can get what you really need. Maybe in a way that you could click on the items you want to be in your cart or click "bundle" or "kit" before checking out.
I like buying kits mostly, but sometimes I want to get just the papers or just the elements or just the alpha - it really depends on the style of the kit (I tend to steer away from things that have too much flowers or lace or girly-girl type stuff, if that helps). So it's nice if the designer allows you to purchase things both as a kit & as separates.
I like buying kits mostly. I CT for someone who does a kit and coordinating extras (e.g. templates, styles, word art, paper stacks), which she sells separately. She also offers a bundle of the kit and extras at a discount.
Thanks guys! That's really helpful.
I too prefer to buy individual pieces sometimes and other times I prefer the bundle. Thank you for asking us our preferences.
I pretty much ONLY buy kits, unless the coordinating elements and papers are only available separately. So, I prefer to buy kits, but if I really like something that's not packaged as a kit, I'll go ahead and buy it anyways. That said, I think having both choices would be awesome.
I like the full kit, that way you don't have to worry about matching stuff.
Personally, I prepare to purchase papers separately. Mostly because I may not need/want all the elements. Another thought is to offer papers separately AND a full kit (just a thought). I think everyone has their favorite elements (I don't use frames, but like clusters and buttons ... and the grundge look).
I prefer buying kits.
Marisa you may want the option of bundling everything together and separately. That way you can add extra pieces to the kits at a later date.
eg Papers, Elements, Alphas are available now as a kit and sold separately
You then decide to make WordArt or Glitter at a later date to complement the kit, then these can be sold separately and also sold with a new updated full kit.
Please, whatever you do, keep in mind the download size of the kits, having them available in separate smaller files is ideal. I once had to download a bought kit that was 800MB in size, I never went back to that site again. :-|
I like to buy kits and clustered frames- because my time is so limited some designers put out gorgeous stuff you can just slip your fotos under and then get to the nitty gritty of journaling.... it is becoming popular to offer pick your own stuff at a cheaper price for a certain time and then they raise the price. So, I would say to offer elements, papers and then the whole salami, I mean kit.
I agree that it is good to have the option to buy separately or everything in a kit. I do not tend to buy sets and find it more fun to mix and match various papers and elements from different collections.
I tend to like to buy them separately too... but the idea of saving a little when you're on the fence about the whole kit often influences me to just go for it and buy the whole shebang.
Great input everyone. Thanks for weighing in.
I agree with most people, I like having the option to buy separately or all together. I'm picky when it comes to elements, and often end up deleting many because I'm limited on space and know I'm not likely to use them.
@Melissa: Great point! I too, delete the elements I know I will never use.
@Marissa: Another side note; Ironically, sometimes when I buy a paper pack... I thought was going to be awesome it isn't as awesome when you see the full paper verses the little partial preview some people do, where you only see a tiny 1" sliver of each paper. The patterns can be tremendously different once you see the whole sheet. So I really like seeing a larger sampling of papers.
@Shawna: Luckily since all the papers are up here singly, that shouldn't be too hard.
I prefer kits. I feel that it saves me time if everything is right there and I don't have to hunt for the perfect thing.

I didn't think I'd manage to wake up the last day. It had been a very late night and the pasta from the day before gave me an incredibly upset stomach. But the thought of Cory Doctorow made me get up and at it.
Day 2 ... well let's just say we all got up a little later. Day 1 I had been on Eastern time still so at 5:30 I was awake and ready to go, Day 2 meant a more normal 7am wake up. I had meant to sleep in, except that I forgot I had signed up …
I could have been a good girl and blogged each day I was there, but I was generally way too busy for that...so here are my random thoughts and opinions on ZendCon 2007.

I have always had a problem with the way she talks about euthanzing dogs.No respect, no heart..nothing.Colorful expressions that only bring anger.When you kill a dog without feeling a thing then it is time you find something else to do.Each dog deserve respect, no matter what she thinks of them.Dogs aren't responsible of what they do, unlike human beings.
There is a post on PBF where a woman said something to the effect of 'when my dogs start to act up I just say who needs a zap? and they calm right down' This tells me two things, she is using a stun gun to enforce basic house manners AND that diane Jessup made an assinine reccomendadtion and didn't pay any attention to the fall out from her words.
Look at what happened immediately after she posted about how all rescue people are dirty slobs - someone posted that she would never donate to rescue again.

Pulmonary function tests are a group of tests that measure how well the lungs take in and release air and how well they move gases such as oxygen from the atmosphere into the bodys circulation.
Alternative Names
PFTs; Spirometry; Spirogram; Lung function tests
How the Test is Performed
Spirometry measures airflow. By measuring how much air you exhale, and how quickly, spirometry can evaluate a broad range of lung diseases. In a spirometry test, while you are sitting, you breathe into a mouthpiece that is connected to an instrument called a spirometer. The spirometer records the amount and the rate of air that you breathe in and out over a period of time. When standing, some numbers might be slightly different. The most important issue is to perform the test always while at the same position.
For some of the test measurements, you can breathe normally and quietly. Other tests require forced inhalation or exhalation after a deep breath. Sometimes you will be asked to inhale the substance or a medicine to see how it changes your test results.
Lung volume measurement can be done in two ways:
- The most accurate way is to sit in a sealed, clear box that looks like a telephone booth (body plethysmograph) while breathing in and out into a mouthpiece. Changes in pressure inside the box help determine the lung volume.
- Lung volume can also be measured when you breathe nitrogen or helium gas through a tube for a certain period of time. The concentration of the gas in a chamber attached to the tube is measured to estimate the lung volume.
To measure
How to Prepare for the Test
Do not eat a heavy meal before the test. Do not smoke for 4to 6 hours before the test. You willget specific instructions if you need to stop using bronchodilators or inhaler medications. You may have to breathe in medication before or duringthe test.
How the Test will Feel
Since the test involves some forced breathing and rapid breathing, you may have some temporary shortness of breath or light-headedness. You breathe through a tight-fitting mouthpiece and you will have nose clips. If you are claustrophobic, the clear box part of the test may feel uncomfortable.
Why the Test is Performed
Pulmonary function tests are done to:
- Diagnose certain types of lung disease (such as
asthma, bronchitis, and emphysema)
- Find the cause of
shortness of breath
- Measure whether exposure to chemicals at work affects lung function
- Check lung function before someone has surgery
It also can be done to:
- Assess the effect of medication
- Measure progress in disease treatment
Normal Results
Normal values are based upon your age, height, ethnicity, and gender. Normal results are expressed as a percentage. A value is usually considered abnormal if it is less than 80% of your predicted value.
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
Different measurements that may be found on your report afterpulmonary function testsinclude:
- Diffusion capacity to carbon monoxide (DLCO)
- Expiratory reserve volume (ERV)
- Forced vital capacity (FVC)
- Forced expiratory volume (FEV)
- Forced expiratory flow 25% to 75%
- Functional residual capacity (FRC)
- Maximum voluntary ventilation (MVV)
- Residual volume (RV)
- Peak expiratory flow (PEF).
- Slow vital capacity (SVC)
- Total lung capacity (TLC)
What Abnormal Results Mean
Abnormal results usually mean that you may have chest or lung disease.
Some lung diseases (such as emphysema, asthma, chronic bronchitis, and infections) can make the lungs contain too much air andtake longer to empty. These lung diseases are called obstructive lung disorders.
Other lung diseases make the lungs scarred and smaller so that they contain too little air and are poor at transferring oxygen into the blood. Examples of these types of illnesses include:
- Extreme overweight
- Fibrosis of the lungs
- Lung cancer
- Sarcoidosis and scleroderma
Muscular weakness can also cause abnormal test results, even if the lungs are normal, similar to the diseases that cause smaller lungs
The risk is minimal for most people. There is a small risk of
Your cooperation while performing the test is crucial in order to get accurate results. A poor seal around the mouthpiece of the spirometer can give poor results that cant be interpreted. Do not smoke before the test.

School's Out For Election!
Jessica Cassyle Carr
All of my UNM classes were canceled today. Instead of catching up on homework, buying some beer and celebrating with others over the day off, I stuck around campus and observed the busiest day I've seen at UNM since the first week of school. "I had one class but decided to hang out and watch all the commotion," says UNM student David Whatley. Booths are still set up with their political parties raised high like battle standards. "I'll just be happy after today when the election is over and we can really focus on our country's issues rather than divide ourselves over who we want for the next president," says Whatley.

The results are to be released officially on Tuesday, but advance copies were provided to the news media a day early. "We have to see this as a wake-up call," Secretary of Education Arne Duncan said in an interview on Monday. "I know skeptics will want to argue with the results, but we consider them to be accurate and reliable, and we have to see them as a challenge to get better," he added.

Consensus Report
Mining Safety and Health Research at NIOSH (2007)Board on Earth Sciences and Resources
Each report is produced by a committee of experts selected by the Academy to address a particular statement of task and is subject to a rigorous, independent peer review; while the reports represent views of the committee, they also are endorsed by the Academy. Learn more on our expert consensus reports.
The U.S. mining sector has the highest fatality rate of any industry in the country. Fortunately, advances made over the past three decades in mining technology, equipment, processes, procedures, and workforce education and training have significantly improved safety and health. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Mining Safety and Health Research Program (Mining Program) has played a large role in these improvements. An assessment of the relevance and impact of NIOSH Mining Program research by a National Research Council committee reveals that the program makes essential contributions to the enhancement of health and safety in the mining industry. To further increase its effectiveness, the Mining Program should proactively identify workplace hazards and establish more challenging and innovative goals toward hazard reduction. The ability of the program to successfully expand its activities, however, depends on available funding.
Key Messages
- Mining Program outputs are accepted and incorporated into stakeholder operations.
- Mining Program research and training programs are vital to continued improvements to health and safety in the workplace.
- The committee concludes that Mining Program research focuses on high-priority areas and is adequately connected to improvements in the workplace.
- The program is moderately involved in transfer activities.
- (hearing loss prevention, rock safety engineering), and likely in a number of areas.

smaps, per-mapping data, including data on each mapping's rss usage. This data lives in /proc/$pid/smaps. However, the format of the smaps file is hard to digest. I've written a quick perl script which parses this into something more useful. It uses the Linux::Smaps module on CPAN.
An example of the data generated by this script:
The vmsize and total rss size are the statistics that everyone is used to. The rss size is split intoVMSIZE: 41132 kb RSS: 23052 kb total 9212 kb shared 0 kb private clean 13840 kb private dirty PRIVATE MAPPINGS vmsize rss clean rss dirty file 12768 kb 0 kb 12616 kb [heap] 196 kb 0 kb 196 kb 120 kb 0 kb 92 kb /usr/lib/libaudiofile.so.0.0.2 132 kb 0 kb 80 kb 80 kb 0 kb 60 kb [stack] 48 kb 0 kb 48 kb /usr/lib/libORBit-2.so.0.1.0 40 kb 0 kb 40 kb /usr/lib/libbonobo-2.so.0.0.0 36 kb 0 kb 36 kb /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.800.16 ... SHARED MAPPINGS vmsize rss clean rss dirty file 2848 kb 1596 kb 0 kb /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.800.16 1172 kb 624 kb 0 kb /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc-2.3.6.so 488 kb 400 kb 0 kb /usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0.800.16 900 kb 396 kb 0 kb /usr/lib/libX11.so.6.2.0 524 kb 360 kb 0 kb /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0.1000.1
shared. The private rss is what could be best called the process' memory usage.
Below this, we give the per-mapping statistics for private mappings. Most of these are either from the heap (eg, malloc'd data), or writable mappings in .so files (from the .data section). This output is especially helpful for diagnosing the second kind. Following, we give the same data for shared mappings (most of which are .so files, the executable code, etc).
Call to action: I would love to see the following done:
- Check out some of the libraries with large writable segments. An extreme example of this is libaudiofile. This library has 92 kb of dirty, private rss (isn't that naughty!). To make matters worse, the library is used by 22 processes on my GNOME 2.14 desktop. This is about 2 MB of memory! Let's figure out why this is happening and make the data const. Also, it might be wise to see if we could reduce the number of programs using this library. We should try to find any other instances of this.
- Let's get some smaps based data in gnome-system-monitor, and possibly more low level tools as well.
- We should look at tools like exmap to get per-page level rss into. This is useful for finding out things like
what pages does evolution use from libgtk and why. We can use this tool to figure out what we can do for low memory users: we can simulate high levels of swapping by allocating memory in a dummy process. We should then see what pages must be loaded from disk to use the desktop, evolution, etc.
- It'd be great to set a community goal for 2.16.
We will reduce the private rss used by all GNOME processes in setup X by Y MB. We should also take statistics from 2.14 to make sure that there are no memory usage regressions.
In other performance related news, somebody has finally gotten good statistics on Firefox's memory usage. It looks like Mozilla is leaking pixmaps when browsing with tabs. I think there are many people who would be made much happier if this could be fixed. This is really great data gathering, and I'd like to see more of it.

Artwork in the Living Room
Having just moved into a new smaller space, I'm re-evaluating what I want to have on the walls in the living room. So many questions: go big? Minimal? Salon Style? Grid? And, of course, hanging artwork is notoriously difficult for me, so looking back through the archives I've brainstormed some great ways to consider hanging artwork in the living room.

Market Street Plaza in front of Smyrna Town Hall will be jam packed with things to do Saturday as there will be a Holiday Farmers Market, children's activities, caroling and more for families to enjoy — including a visit from Santa.
1. Holiday Market. The Smyrna Farmers Market inaugural season ended Oct. 27, but there will be a special Holiday Market starting at noon Saturday featuring holiday items and Christmas decorations. One group on hand for the market will be the Duck Creek Horticultural Society selling fresh live wreaths and roping.
2. Children's activities. Don't go far after the market is over as there will be various activities for children including Christmas stories and snacks starting at 3 p.m. in front of town hall.
3. That Christmas feeling. To cap the afternoon off, there will be caroling, a tree lighting and a visit from Santa at 5 p.m. Children will also be able to have a one-on-one visit with Santa at the Plank House behind the Smyrna Museum at 11 S. Main St.
With Thanksgiving over, what better way to get into the holiday spirit than to bring the family to downtown Smyrna to buy some local goods, play some games and sing some Christmas songs.

This had happened 2 years ago.
I was getting ready for bed, it wasn't too late at night. It would be considered early for a summer night. Once I got into bed, my cat had joined me like usual. The lights were off and I was just getting under the covers. Then there was this loud growl from the bottom of my bed. I can't describe it. It didn't sound like any animal I have ever heard before. It didn't sound human, it didn't sound like something that was alive. This growl had startled my cat. She had got up and went to peer over the bed. When she did, she hissed a bit but quickly ran back towards me. My bedroom is right next to the laundry room, and I had forgot to turn the light off in there. So the light coming from the laundry room that was on my bedroom wall. It wasn't much but I kept my eyes on the light on the wall. Then this black mist about yard/3 feet long. There were two of them. They were near the ceiling but still on the wall where the light shines on. It went by fast. It wasn't coming towards me it was going away from me.
That was my scariest experience, especially how I was 11 at the time made it a bit worse.
Anyway know what it could have been?
After that my dad had blessed my bedroom and put crosses everywhere in my bedroom.. I'm not a religious person so I didn't feel as comfortable about him doing that. Anyway that's just me rambling

My head is spinning from all these award nominations!
Thank you so much to Eszter (felteddreams.wordpress.com) for nominating me a second time for the Liebster Award! Don't forget to check out Eszter's amazing felt/embroidery/quilting creations.
To view the post from my first nomination, click here.
- Post eleven facts about yourself.
- Answer the questions the tagger has set for you and create eleven questions for people you've nominated.
- Choose eleven people to give this award to and link them in your post.
- Go to their page and tell them.
Eszter's Quetions
1. What inspired you to start blogging?
Well, I started this particular blog to keep track of my various creative projects and to organize my thoughts a bit.
2. Is there one thing you wish you could change about yourself, what would it be?
I'm never good at answering this sort of question. Even if I could magically change something about myself, I don't think I would.
3. If you could meet someone famous who is still living who would it be?
This is a really tough question because I don't want to jinx my chances at Cannes.
4. What was the most interesting class you ever took in school?
Another tough question since I went to New York University: Gallatin School of Individualized Study and took a number of amazing courses including "Dante's World," "Virtue and Villainy: Melodrama," and "Globalization: Promises and Discontents." The most life-changing class I ever took was "Yellow Peril: Documenting & Understanding Xenophobia" taught by the amazing Jack Tchen. For this class, I wrote a painstakingly researched 25-page paper (plus 5 pages of works cited) about Gwen Stefani's Harajuku Girls. Jack's new book Yellow Peril: Understanding Fears of "the East" and What We Can Do About It is coming out at the end of February, so check it out if you're interested!
5. What did you want to be when you were little?
I think I always wanted to be a comic book artist/graphic novelist/mangaka since I was in elementary school up through high school graduation. I drifted away from comics/graphic novels/manga in college, but as you can tell from The Poet and the Flea have regained my passion.
6. If you could decorate your work-space however you wanted, what would be your feature color?
Well, when I moved to San Francisco, I really got to decorate my workspace and I wouldn't really change a thing (other than that it sometimes gets way too hot and there's no air-conditioning). My room is mostly made of various shades of blue with splashes of yellow, tan, and salmon. It's pretty funky!
7. If your life were a book, what would be the title?
Radiant Pessimist™ (this will also be the name of my future production company — I have Laurence Harvey to thank for that one).
8. What one happy memory do you have always coming to mind?
I don't really have one memory that always comes to mind. But I recently thought of a childhood memory (when I was maybe six or seven years old) that I really hadn't thought of for a long time — me and my dad bobbing in the ocean off of Kiawah Island. I remember that my nose was really runny, ha ha ha.
9. Do you prefer to read actual books or use an E-reader?
Actual books, hands down! It's just not the same experience with an e-reader. The tactile feeling of a book, the smell of it, the typography and placement on the page, the action of turning from page to page… I really have a hard time reading on my iPad.
10. If you could keep only one item from your wardrobe, what would it be?
I've only worn it once, but the skirt of the prom outfit my grandmother made me. She died September 2011, so I'm extremely reluctant to let it go.
11. If you win some millions in lottery, what would be the first thing you buy?
I wouldn't "buy" anything per se. I'd rather fund a full-length film of either my own script or that of a close friend.
Can't I just nominate all my followers? You're all so awesome and talented! 🙂
My Questions
I liked the questions I wrote last time, so I'll use them again…
- What is the strangest dream you've ever had?
- What is/was your favorite subject in school?
- When you were young, what did you want to be when you grew up?
- Who is your role model?
- What is your favorite holiday?
- What is your least favorite vegetable?
- What is your guilty pleasure?
- Are you an optimist or pessimist?

With a striking combination of beauty, brains and ambition, there is definitely a lot more to Jenny Milstead than meets the eye, which is quite a statement in itself. The Texas-born brunette stands out, due in no small measure to her exotic Korean, German and Cherokee Indian ancestry, which definitely made an impression on us when we first met her on Hot Import Nights circuit. Since then she has built an impressive modeling resume in print and on television. Despite a busy day job, Jenny has also earned a Bachelor's degree in Political Science, a teaching certificate and a real estate license. All of which gives new meaning to the term 'well-rounded'.

The Interview
Where are you from? And, are you currently living there? If not, where are you currently living?
I was born in Texas, moved to Southern California when I was about 13 years-old and moved to Las Vegas in 2006.
How long have you been modeling for?
Since I was 18.
How did you get your start in modeling? Were you discovered?
I actually applied to be a Hot Import Night Model online and got a call back immediately! It allowed me to recognize that I did indeed have a look that fans would admire and wanted to see more of.
What would you say are your strengths as a model? (ex. body, eyes, smile, certain poses and emotions...)
My strengths include my strong work ethic and professionalism. I am a free spirit and very easy going. And I am not too hard on the eyes…lol
Describe yourself in three words or statements.
Strong, Sexy, Sweet.
What are some of you modeling highlights so far?
Shooting for Playboy Magazine and now shooting the cover of PASMAG!
Does your personality match your Zodiac sign? Describe.
I am a true Gemini. I have masculine qualities to my personality and I am an extrovert! I consider myself an Alpha-Female.
Tell us your likes or dislikes about modeling?
I love meeting all of the new friends I have made over the years. Unfortunately there are people that make promises and don't intend to follow through. I believe you should say what you mean and mean what you say! There are not only "flaky models" in the industry.
What is your best beauty secret?
I use Neutrogena face wash and when I apply my daily face lotion I combine my foundation into it for sheer natural coverage
How do you keep in such great shape?
I eat well and work out! I wish I could say I didn't have to!
What was the first major event that you modeled at? What made it most memorable to you?
The first major event that I modeled at was a HIN event. It was fun and made me realize that this was definitely that I want to do.
Who is your favorite model or celebrity of all time?
I like Jenny McCarthy…Funny, Smart and Hot!
What traits do you like most about yourself?
I love the fact that I don't like to give up. I hate failure and want so much more out of life and want to affect change.
What is your top unfulfilled fantasy?
Flying off on a private jet to a secluded island and vacationing for at least 2 weeks. No cell phones, Internet or stress.
Do you have any birthmarks, scars or tattoos? Please state "what", "where", "how noticeable?"
None at all.
Do you have any pets? What kind?
I have an American Bull dog and a cat that hang out and play together all the time.
What are your hobbies? Any hidden talents you'd like to share with the world?
I love to read, work out and go to the beach
What is your favorite food?
I love Italian, Mexican and Korean. Yes, in that order.
Who is your favorite recording artist and genre of music?
I love House Music!
Do you have any weird habits that no one else knows about?
Not really…I am an open book to those close to me
What's the best prank you ever played on someone?
Not really the prankster type.
What is your dream car?
I currently own my dream car. I have a Maserati Quattroporte Executive GT…I love it!
What do you look for in a guy? What would he have to do to get your attention and to keep you interested?
I look for good looks, dark hair, in shape and taller than me. He has to be smart and enjoy intellectual conversation wherein we are not arguing about politics but rather exchanging ideas on a mature level. He's got to be funny, easy-going and NOT Needy!
What gets you in the mood? What are some of your turn-ons?
Cologne. The smell acts as an aphrodisiac. And a good glass of wine is nice as well.
How do you feel about pick-up lines? What was the best line that was used on you? Did it work?
Pick up lines are good as long as they aren't too cheesy. If it is presented in a manner that suggests that you have a sense of humor, you're in! I had a guy once recognize that I was Korean and say hello to me in the native language. Not really a pick up line, but it really impressed me because he was able to recognize my ethnicity which many can't do right off the bat.
So what is the weirdest thing that has ever happened to you on a date? How did the rest of the night go?
Off the top of my head….hmmm…running into someone else that I was dating at the time…awkward.
On a scale of 1 to 10, how wild are you in the bedroom?
I'm a 10 for sure….I like to let it all go
What do you wear to bed?
That depends on if I am sleeping alone or with someone. Just me alone, I will be in a comfy oversized shirt. With someone? Well probably nothing at all.
What item of clothing or accessory makes you feel the sexiest?
A sexy lace bra and panties with a pair of high stiletto heels!
Have you posed in the nude? If so, how did it make you feel?
Yes, I have posed in the nude. I am comfortable with my body and love the human image in its raw form.
What do you most value in your friends?
My friends are the same group of girlfriends from high school! They are loyal and have my back. Always there for me and never let me down.
Who are your heroes in real-life? Why?
My heroes would be the single, working mother who busts her butt and still manages a home, goes to work and takes care of her children. Independent women, where ya at? LOL
If you could have one superpower, what would it be and why?
I would have super intelligence and discover the cure for cancer and AIDS
Tell us about any upcoming projects of yours?
Well, I will be gracing the cover of Girls of Lowrider and hosting several events in the Las Vegas area.
With any 'spotlight' type of job, you are looked upon as a role model. What advice would you give out to aspiring models?
I would advise models to not be the stereotypical model. Show up on time to jobs and try not to cancel jobs. Just view it as a business, which it is, and you will do very well!
Do you have any shout outs or last words?
I hope you enjoy my pictures as much as I loved shooting them for you!

Green Campus
Queen's large and unique pool of talented researchers, students, and staff are engaged in a diverse set of sustainability-related activities. What follows are only some of the major environmentally-minded initiatives spearheaded by various groups in the Queen's community.
Queen's Sustainability Office
Queen's Sustainability Office advances the university's green initiatives, identifies and implements new opportunities for working closely with the Queen's community on such initiatives, and creates a greater degree of awareness about environmental issues within the university.
Sustainability Strategic Framework
Queen's Sustainability Strategic Framework acts as a campus sustainability road map. The framework establishes guiding principles and fosters a common understanding of sustainability at Queen's.
Climate Action Plan
In 2010, Principal Woolf signed the University and College Presidents' Climate Change Statement of Action for Canada. This pledge commits the university to engaging in several activities aimed at reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and enhancing research and curriculum in the areas of climate change and sustainability. It also requires developing a comprehensive Climate Action Plan (CAP).
Since January 2012, Queen's has been working in partnership with the consulting firm Delphi Group to develop a CAP for Queen's. Our CAP will include a summary of the current campus greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory; GHG emission projections; operations climate action goals and strategies to reduce emissions; and mechanisms to track progress on goals and actions.
A 22-member internal advisory committee has also been established to collaboratively work on the evaluation, planning, development, and implementation of the plan.
Student Initiatives
Queen's students are responsible for many of the environmental projects and practices on campus and around the world, such as:
Earth Centre: The Earth Centre offers students, faculty, and community members an opportunity to transform their environmental concern into positive action through green consumerism and innovative discussion.
Queen's Project on International Development (QPID): A student-run organization — operating out of the Queen's Engineering Society since 1990 — that hosts a variety of initiatives on campus, in Kingston, in Canada, and internationally, including community development projects in Guyana, Ghana, Nunavut, Bolivia, Peru, India, and Nicaragua.
The Tea Room: 100% consumer-waste free since 2011, meaning all of the products customers use can be recycled or composted.
Live Building
Located in Beamish-Munro Hall, Queen's Live Building is a living lab, where the Integrated Learning Centre's mechanical, electrical, and structural systems are monitored in real-time and left open to view, to show how sustainable practices can be incorporated into building design. It also supports a weather station!
Campus Practices
Queen's Sustainability Office has more information on how Queen's manages issues around air quality, water use, lighting and energy consumption, waste diversion, and new construction.
Sustainability Map
Created by the Sustainability Office, the Sustainability Map shows the locations for battery recycling, composting, green roofs, bike racks, and other environmental services and infrastructure. More information…

Some babies have the fine-motor skills required to hold a bottle — and get it to its target — as early as 6 months. For others, it will be closer to 10 months. The only way to tell if your baby can hold his own bottle is to hand him one and watch what happens. If he has the motor skills to put the bottle in his mouth and to take it out when he's full, you can offer him one every now and then.
But no matter how old your baby is, don't be tempted to prop a bottle in his mouth as a way to hasten the feeding process. A propped bottle could force your child to overeat or even cause him to choke.
And if your baby falls asleep with the bottle in his mouth, the formula or breast milk can pool around his teeth and lead to tooth decay. So, to prevent tooth decay, don't prop the bottle or hand your baby a bottle and put him to bed.
Propped bottles can also increase your baby's risk of ear infections, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics. If your baby's lying down during feedings, the liquid can flow from his mouth into his ears' eustachian tubes, where it can linger and cause an infection.
Another important reason not to prop a bottle or always let him hold it himself: It can deprive your baby of key snuggle time. Holding and cuddling your baby during feedings gives him a sense of safety and security and helps promote bonding.

Orientation classes began today and continue tomorrow from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. with lunch.
This week, mandatory orientation and registration continues for new and returning students at Phillips Community College of the University of Arkansas (PCCUA)-Stuttgart campus.
Orientation classes began today and continue tomorrow from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. with lunch.
"The orientation sessions are a new feature this fall," Dr. Susan Luebke, vice chancellor at PCCUA-Stuttgart, said.
Luebke said the orientation allows new students to learn about the variety of programs and organizations on the campus, meet more people and become more connected with the campus.
"Before the orientation, the students learned as they went along," Luebke said.
The campus will be open from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Friday for students wishing to register.
Classes begin on Monday, and the student services office (financial aid, professional advising, registrar and business) and the bookstore will be open until 7 p.m. Aug. 20-23.
For more information contact PCCUA-Stuttgart campus at (870) 673-4201.

It's an election year, so the tension is running high. But the president would like us all to stop complaining about the things we don't like and focus on improving what we can. No, we're not talking about President Barack Obama. We mean Kid President—the adorable, self-appointed dancing diplomat. And honestly, he speaks a lot of sense. Kids are awesome! Maybe we should all stop and thank a kid, today.

|Volunteer Assistant Coach
Longtime college basketball coach Ed Douma embarks on his fourth
season as a volunteer assistant coach at Ferris State University in
He's no stranger to current FSU head coach Bill Sall, serving as his collegiate coach at Calvin College. Sall also worked as an assistant under Douma at both Calvin and Hillsdale prior to taking over the Bulldog program.
Douma previously spent 32 seasons as a head coach at several schools, posting a career record of 550-302 overall. He most recently spent 11 years leading Hillsdale College and coached 13 seasons before that at his alma mater, Calvin College, where he was a four-year starter. Two of his Hillsdale teams reached the NCAA Division II Tournament.
He has also coached at Alma College (NCAA-III), fellow GLIAC member Lake Superior State University (NAIA), Kent State University (NCAA-I), and the University of North Carolina-Greensboro (NCAA-III).
Winning has been a way of life in Douma-led basketball programs with his greatest success
occurring in 1991-92 when he led the Calvin College Knights to the NCAA Division III National Championship, sporting a 31-1 record along the way. The 31 wins set Calvin College and Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) records for victories in a season. Douma was honored by the National Association of Basketball coaches as their NCAA III Coach of the Year. During his tenure at Calvin from 1984-1996, he posted 254 wins with 72 losses for a scorching .793 winning percentage. Douma's teams won six MIAA titles and earned nine NCAA post-season berths. Besides the national title, his squads gained entry to the quarterfinals twice and the semifinals once.
Douma began his coaching career at the high school level in Shelby, Michigan where he
won two Class C state championships. He moved on to the college level at Alma College and
led the Scots to a 13-8 mark during the 1973-74 season. Lake Superior State University was
Douma's next destination where he headed up the Laker program from 1974-78, posting four
straight winning seasons. The Lakers won two NAIA District 23 titles and qualified for the
NAIA National Tournament. The 1975-76 squad won 26 games and advanced to the NAIA
quarterfinals. His career mark at LSSU was 81 wins and 25 losses.
Douma next coached at NCAA Division I Kent State University, where he coached from
1978-82. In 1982, he moved on to UNC-Greensboro, an NCAA Division III team at that time.
Before returning to Calvin College in 1984, he averaged 14 wins over two seasons at UNC Greensboro before coaching an Athletes in Action team that toured South America.
Douma is a native of Grand Rapids and Muskegon who earned his bachelor's degree at Calvin College, majoring in English. He also was a four-year varsity standout on the Knight basketball team.
Douma was inducted into the Basketball Coaches Association of Michigan Hall of Fame
in October 1995, the Muskegon Area Sports Hall of Fame in June 1998 and the Lake Superior
State College Hall of Fame in October 1998.
Before all of that, Douma was a key player on Western Michigan Christian's 1962 Class C state championship team.

700 Sundays
Broadhurst Theatre
235 W. 44th St.
Tue.-Sat. 8 p.m., Wed., Sat. 2 p.m.
Through Mar. 6
A one-man home movie
A reflective Billy Crystal shines as a multifaceted raconteur and jokemeister
By DAVID KENNERLEY
We had nothing, Billy Crystal insists in 700 Sundays, his solo Broadway show that traces his modest childhood in Eisenhower-era Long Beach, Long Island, where he grew up in a crowded tract house with paper-thin walls.
Yet during the course of the alternately hilarious and heartwarming evening, he proceeds to prove just the opposite.
For Crystal was blessed with a loving Jewish family of lunatics, which the 56-year-old actor skillfully brings to life in a series of intimate stand-up sketches packed with impersonations and anecdotes. One treasure they possessed was an 8-millimeter camera so his father, Jack, could document trips to the Catskills, Yankee games and, of course, his richly talented cut-up of a son, Billy.
The set of 700 Sundays, the façade of a simple two-story brick house accented with white wooden railings, turns out to be a faithful replica of his boyhood home, as evidenced by Jacks vintage film footage sporadically projected onto the large picture windows. Though the scenic design is credited to David Weiner, the true set is courtesy of Crystal himself, as he vividly paints scene after scene in our eager imaginations.
A masterful storyteller with rapier comic timing, Crystal transports us back to landmark moments in his young life. The plays title refers to the precious few Sundays Crystal was able to share with his father, who died of a sudden heart attack when Crystal was 15.
One of his favorite events was dining out with the family. On Sunday nights Jews are not allowed to eat their own food, quips Crystal. Its in the Bible.
When he recounts seeing his first movie, Shane, at the Loews on Second Avenue, we feel as if were sitting in the seat next to him. Crystal reminds us that the theater subsequently became the famed Filmore East music venue, though he neglects to mention that it later became a legendary gay nightclub, The Saint.
His father, it turns out, had a secret life managing the Commodore Music Shop, just a few blocks from the Broadhurst Theatre where 700 Sundays is playing. This was no ordinary store, for it was a hotbed of jazz where future legends like Billie Holiday and Louis Armstrong hung out and joked with young Billy, nicknaming him face. Crystal recalls his grandmother, in all seriousness, asking Armstrong, Louis, have you tried just coughing it up?
Perhaps the most important lesson Jack taught his incorrigibly antic son was to know your audience and in 700 Sundays Crystal does his papa proud, pushing all the right buttons. He gooses up his monologue with remembrances of the JFK assassination, the Beatles first appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show and even September 11, all of which elicit gasps of recognition from the rapt audience. He revels in flatulence and masturbation jokes, and giddily plays ventriloquist to his penis.
In one of the funnier bits, Crystal mimics his Aunt Sheila, who now lives in Boca RatonWhere else?detailing the saga of her daughters lesbyterian wedding in way-gay San Francisco. Its like Starbucks, she says. Theyre on every corner. After her daughter adopts a brown-skinned baby girl, Sheila is grateful that she and her husband are no longer the only barren grandparents in our cul-de-sac.
This is an evening of old-fashioned entertainment, where Crystals love of classic comics such as Bob Newhart, Bill Cosby, Sid Ceasar and Jack Parr, shines through.
Easily one of the finest one-person reminiscences this side of Elaine Stritch, the sweetly comic show veers into maudlin territory toward the end, when he lays it on as thick as Aunt Sheilas makeup. Thankfully, the authentic intimacy outweighs any self-indulgent schmaltz.
Crystal likens grief to a massive boulder that never truly goes away. And yes, the burdensome boulders left by the loss of his parents and other tragedies abound in the second act. Yet Crystal has wisely learned, for the most part, to maneuver around them, often tap-dancing with one leg and mugging as he did for his fathers movie camera.
Director Des McAnuff reigns in the accomplished comedian, helping the scripted antics to feel spontaneous. What a polar opposite to McAnuffs earlier lavish Broadway bomb, Dracula, The Musical, which opened to dreadful reviews and recently posted a closing notice. The press agent slyly omitted this wrongheaded spectacle from McAnuffs bio, but they neednt have worried. The success of the splendid 700 Sundays will drive a stake through Dracula.

SALISBURY, Md.—Competing in their second Capital Athletic Conference championship meet, the Southern Virginia University cross country teams represented the university well with strong finishes Saturday morning at Winter Place Park in Salisbury, Md.
Hosted by CAC member Salisbury University, the meet was highlighted by several personal and season bests by Knight runners. As a provisional NCAA member, Southern Virginia was not allowed to receive team points for placement, but multiple Knights competed well for strong finishes in their respective races.
Men's 8k
Junior Patrick Gonzalez continued to show his leadership by placing 23rd in the men's 8k race in a season-best 26:58.30. Freshman Michael Ward, consistently the team's second finishing runner this season, once again accomplished the feat by arriving in 50th place overall in 27:58.80, his second-best 8k time of the year. He achieved a 27:12.80 two weeks ago at the Gettysburg Invitational for 38th place at the meet.
Junior Kevin Prince placed third for the Knights with a time of 28:19.10, his second-best 8k time of the season, for 61st place in the race. Freshman Aaron Barraclough finished fourth for the team with a personal-best time of 32:47.30 (108th), while senior Dan Fotheringham crossed the finish line in a season-best 33:15.80 (112th).
Women's 6k
Continuing to battle health issues, the women's squad competed with only three runners in the women's 6k race. Junior Kera Macfarlane Nielson, the team's lead runner for the meets she has participated in this season, led the team with a 37th-place finish in 24:41.30.
Freshman Rebecca Lords placed 50th in the race with a personal-best time of 25:34.30, while junior Katelyn Tonini came in 79th place overall in 29:10.30.
"We are happy with our runners and the effort they put forth into preparing for this race," said Southern Virginia assistant coach Jeremiah John. "It is great to be here in this conference that has so many talented athletes and incredible runners. While we're happy with how several of our runners performed, today's results show we need to get better. As a coaching staff we're happy with their improved times and personal bests, but we also need to improve to compete in this league."
York College's Tim Hartung was named Male Athlete of the Year after winning the men's race, while York's Caroline Delany received the Female Athlete of the Year honor for claiming the individual women's title.
The York men placed first in the men's race with 33 points, while Christopher Newport won the women's race with 31 points in the meet.
The Knights next compete in the United States Collegiate Athletic Association (USCAA) National Championship meet on Friday, Nov. 8, hosted by SUNY-ESF (Environmental Science and Forestry) in Syracuse, N.Y. The women's 6k will take place at 11 a.m., while the men's 8k will occur shortly after at noon.

- Premier League
Wenger feels Arsenal are still in title race
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has claimed his side are still contenders to win this season's Premier League title - even after falling a massive 11 points behind leaders Manchester United after Saturday's 3-3 home draw against Fulham.
After a series of setbacks in recent weeks, Wenger's suggestion that his developing side are capable of launching a push for the biggest prize in English football from their current position of eighth place in the Premier League will doubtless result in plenty of raised eyebrows.
Yet his optimism remains intact despite a run that has seen the Gunners collect just one win in their last four league games, with their creaking defence conceding 14 goals in their last four fixtures alone.
When asked whether his side could emerge as shock title challengers in the second half of the season, Wenger's response was unequivocal. "Of course, yes why not?" retorted Wenger, clearly bemused that his questioner would question his team's title winning abilities.
"We had come through three difficult games, especially the first two," he stated, referring to the resounding 2-1 defeat against Manchester United and the 2-2 Champions League draw against Schalke. "We had to recover from the United game and then we gave it all in Germany.
"All of us were disappointed not to beat Fulham because we had the chances to do that and in the end we were frustrated, but there were many positives to take from the game. Our performances are not as big a disaster as some people like to portray them and I still have great belief in this team."
The improved performance of striker Olivier Giroud was the most notable plus point for Wenger after his summer signing scored twice against Fulham on Saturday, leaving the French striker to conclude he is getting to grips with life in the Premier League.
"I feel better and better," Giroud told the Arsenal website "I'm confident about my qualities and I never give up. When I didn't score at the beginning of the season, I stayed confident and always worked on my mind and my game. I think there is a lot of quality in this team and we will have better days in front of us."

It is possible that the main title of the report Swyer syndrome is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
Swyer syndrome is a rare disorder characterized by the failure of the sex glands (i.e., testicles or ovaries) to develop. Swyer syndrome is classified as a disorder of sex development or a DSD, which encompasses any disorder in which chromosomal, gonadal or anatomic sex development is abnormal. Girls with Swyer syndrome have an XY chromosomal makeup (as boys normally do) instead of an XX chromosomal makeup (as girls normally do). Despite having the XY chromosomal makeup, girls with Swyer syndrome look female and have functional female genitalia and structures including a vagina, uterus and fallopian tubes.
Girls with Swyer syndrome lack sex glands (ovaries). Instead of sex glands, women with Swyer syndrome have "gonadal streaks", in which the ovaries do not develop properly (aplasia) and are replaced by functionless scar (fibrous) tissue. Because they lack ovaries, girls with Swyer syndrome do not produce sex hormones and will not undergo puberty (unless treated with hormone replacement therapy). Mutations to a few different genes are known to cause Swyer syndrome. Swyer syndrome usually occurs as a random event, but, in rare cases, can also be inherited in an autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, X-linked or Y-linked manner.

|Funeral home record example
from Rootsweb/Ancestry.com
Funeral home records, also known as mortuary records, are yet another overlooked resource for the genealogy researcher. These records contain the same basic information about the deceased as the death certificate, but with more detailed family information, a copy of the obituary, possible insurance data, and financial records involving the costs relating to the funeral and burial. Mortuary records can also assist you in locating the cemetery and the burial records held there.
Funeral home records began to be kept during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Before that the church was the repository for death records. Funerals, wakes or remembrance events would have taken place at the home of the deceased or the village church. Cities are more likely to have funeral home records for the late 1800's, as rural residents continued the practice of burying their own without formal assistance until a few decades into the 20th century.
|American Blue Book
of Funeral Directors
Mortuary records are considered to be private records. These records belong to the funeral home and do not have to be made available to the public. If you have a copy of the death certificate, it should list the name of the funeral home that handled the arrangements. If you do not know the name, the American Blue Book of Funeral Directors may be helpful. If you are planning to research funeral home records at the mortuary, start by contacting the funeral home to make sure the records are still in that location.
Schedule an appointment at the funeral home and let them know whose records you would like to review, dates of deaths and any other information they may need to locate the files. If a funeral home is no longer in business, check with other mortuaries in the area to see if the records were transferred. If not, visit the local or county genealogical or historical libraries and societies to see if the records have been moved there or if someone knows what became of them. Many times when a funeral home closed, the director took the records home for safe keeping.
|My maternal grandfather's obituary
|My paternal great-grandfather's obit
When we explored death certificates and death records on Tuesday, I failed to mention that the funeral director is the person responsible for getting this certificate filled out and filed. He or she is the person who will talk with the informant of the deceased in order to gather the required data for the certificate. The funeral director is also the person who writes and places the obituaries with the media. Parts of an obit may include a listing of surviving relatives consisting of the spouse, children by name and their spouses, grandchildren and their spouses and great-grandchildren, along with siblings. Those who have already passed may also be mentioned. The deceased's age, address, occupation, religious affiliation, military service, memberships, education, accomplishments and hobbies may also be written up in an obit. Those residents with more community prominence will usually have obits that contain more information. Details regarding the funeral service, where it is being held and the burial location are also included in an obit.
|Memorial card for
Harry 'Hap" Fleming
|Information inside Hap's memorial card
Another genealogical resource associated with mortuary records is memorial cards. Also known as prayer cards, funeral cards and holy cards, they contain information about the funeral service and burial, including the deceased's name, birth and death dates, location of services, clergy, pallbearers, music, location of burial and usually a poem or prayer. Memorial cards are given out at visitations, wakes and funerals. They may also be sent after the fact to those who did not attend. Be sure to check family bibles, photo albums and scrapbooks for them.
Next Tuesday is the Ides of March and we'll take a look at some of the superstitions that surround death. Please let me know of any superstitions you were taught or remember.
