I've only skimmed it, but a few things jumped out immediately.
-Old deal was $8 million per year and included some TV rights. This deal includes no TV rights (all with SEC Network now), but still jumped to $14 million/year.
-JMI Sports has never done a college multimedia rights deal

Thoughtful Parenting: In-the-moment parenting
April 30, 2013
As parents, we spend a lot of time trying to get through a stage, a week or a day when our kids are young. A whiny afternoon can seem to last forever when you have a 2-year-old, yet how many times have you heard someone say, "It goes by so quickly. Enjoy every moment"?
It isn't easy to be an in-the-moment parent, but embracing the practice of mindfulness can help. Mindfulness is defined as paying attention to the present moment without judgment. It is cultivated by purposefully paying attention to those things we ordinarily never give a moment's thought.
The practice of mindfulness began as an attempt to bring Buddhist meditation (minus the Buddhism) into the mainstream of medicine but has grown into a genuine social movement with variations of mindfulness developing everywhere from schools to hospitals to the halls of Congress.
At the same time, a significant body of research has documented the physical and psychological health benefits of practicing mindfulness. For parents, the practice of mindfulness not only helps us create meaningful moments with our kids, it also fosters patience, increases positive emotions, reduces stress and helps us model healthy emotional regulation for our kids.
So what does it mean to be a mindful parent? For starters, it is parenting with intention. Perhaps intentionally creating meaningful moments with your kids. Here are a few ideas:
■ Walk or ride: Walking, riding or taking the city bus can create priceless moments that are easily sacrificed to the convenience of our cars. Take your time; smell the flowers; look your children in the eye. It is as good for you as it is for them.
Recommended Stories For You
■ Star gaze: As the weather gets warmer, we can take advantage of the fresh air in the evenings. Get your kids ready for bed, then head outside with a blanket and spend 10 minutes gazing at the sky.
■ Cook together: Be willing to sacrifice the cleanliness of the kitchen for some meaningful moments with your kids. Dinner needs to be made, so why not turn the task into quality time spent together. Children also are more likely to eat what they make.
■ Plant a garden: So many great lessons here, and the moments keep coming as the veggies and flowers start growing.
■ Divide and conquer: When you can spend one-on-one time with a child, you can create conversations that don't occur when he or she is battling a sister or brother for your attention. Whether it is a trip to the store or a weekend away, spending time with just one of your children is incredibly rewarding.
■ Play catch: With so many forms of entertainment, it seems the classic parent-child experience of playing catch has gone by the wayside. Playing catch is not just about learning to throw and catch, it also is about the conversations that occur during the process.
■ Three-breath hug: The next time you find yourself or your child at wits' end, embrace him or her and take three deep breaths together. Our breath is an incredible tool for managing stress, and a three-breath hug makes us all feel better.
Kristen Race, Ph.D., is the founder of Mindful Life, an organization that works to provide solutions to help families become more resilient to the stress in their lives. She has been a member of the First Impressions executive committee for the past five years.

Anyone familiar with Judaic/Christian Prophecy? don't all raise your hands at once, understandably so, its rarely investigated beyond the late night History Channel topics.
Ok heres where it becomes better than any movie EVER written. Prophecy has stated quite clearly that for Christ to return this Temple MUST be built, its being built. That the Anti-Christ WILL defile (remove all blood sacrfice by law) the Temple and set himself up as God to be worshiped FROM this very temple. This is ALL going to happen VERY quickly, once the Temple is built it is believed by historians (now so far every prophecy HAS come to pass to the exact letter and date, all of them people)....
that the Tribulation period will begin. Once this peace treaty of 7 years is established thats it folks...either you BEGIN to believe and be saved or are a believer, in this case dont worry. Upon the 3.5 year mark of this treaty of 7 years, the Anti-Christ will break the treaty, defile the temple and being his reign of horror unlike the world has NEVER seen....be prepared for the earth will shake and groan under the evil that does its work amongst men.
Also, a side-note, it IS possible that the sitings (becoming more and more prevalent) have something to do with prophecy and NOT aliens. The Bible said quite clearly that "in the end of days look to the skies for signs of the end".please research for yourselves this wonderful book we call the Bible..its not too late but when he returns he will come.."Like a thief in the night".

The planned rebuilding of a religious temple, by a religious group, to help bring about the end of the world sounds like it's perfectly qualified to be considered a conspiracy in religion.
They have posted a couple of links, and they're certainly weak evidence at best, but there's no more or less support for this theory than at least half of the other nonsense on ATS.

Pizza Machine is moving to a location. They'll be leaving downtown Gallatin, where they've been for three years.
The restaurant first opened in 2011. They have been looking for a new location for over a year, according to owner Colleen Comstock. They had to speed up their search after being informed that the owners of their current site were looking to sell.
"It's bittersweet leaving the square, but it was just the uncertainty of it all," said Comstock. "We liked being a part of the square. We loved the feel. It's a shame that it worked out the way that it did."
The new location is not far from the square. It is less than a mile away in the spot that used to house A Taste of Italy. Comstock hopes that the biggest change their customers see is just the change of address. They'll be keeping the same business hours. The dining room is a little smaller in size, but the kitchen is larger. There is also more parking available at the new location.
They hope to expand the menu over time, but Comstock says, "There are going to be a lot of things that are unique about this place, but it is still going to feel like The Pizza Machine."

Shockingly, the number one supporters of this barbaric trade are sports shoe manufacturers, who purchase the skins and turn them into football boots. Adidas, one of the kangaroo industries biggest customers, is a major driving force behind the industry.

It is really a sweet interpretation, these young kids learning to love and trust one another in these an innocent way. Using the help of the summary, the person can to get your hands on the entire notion from the video. Some examples: A few romance movies that you must watch include 'P. These, too as the above options, will be in no particular order, but produce your own . that you just found at least a few adapted selections that you've got enjoyed. With the ability to enjoy real time television, you won't be capable to watch movies online and TV for free, it is possible to even view your beloved sports events clear of charge.
The movie download websites that I have accessibility to are 100% legal are definitely not P2P websites. Once having the ripped Blu-ray or DVD files, it is possible to transfer them in your TVi – X via USB. So once we watch free movies online where something happens to a single of the partners (like accidents or death), it reminds us how lucky were to still one another. Gone are the times during the dull colors and slow processing connections with the devices rather, it is feasible to look at movies and TV totally free in vibrant colors and strong shades of black. The expenses were also too much for the keepers to bear, that also played a part within the closing down with the Div – X shop.
I completed the rest of the form; selecting movies came through to my screen. Go to menu Settings > Options, select 4400 (DVD D5) or DVD 9 in Max DVD Size:. At minimum, make sure which you spend a little while discussing the movie using your son or daughter. It is mainly P2P, peer to peer, sites supplying these pirated versions of movies and so http://www.kendell-geers.net/ted/ they certainly are a high risk source. All you need to complete is go through the Save Clip button, which saves all of your edits and effects, and you'll be able to safely go back to the main Video Editor interface.
Other pieces of Coraline movie merchandise add the Coraline video game as well as the original music CD towards the Coraline film also. Just imagine how fun it will likely be to observe the flicks totally free, without wasting an individual Naira. A few movies might be available to look at via your browser which could be ie, opera, or Firefox. Therefore, the superior picks in movie theaters because of this week would be the following: "War Room" (PG, befitting teens and adults), "90 Minutes in Heaven" (PG-13, right for teenagers and adults), "Shaun the Sheep" (PG, right for all ages), "Ant-man" (PG-13, appropriate for pre-teens through adults), and "Inside Out" (PG, befitting any age. Movie streaming subscribers are somewhat cheaper than renting a DVD.
There isn't any need, for them to be made illegal and taken offline, despite the fact that some media moguls have suggested it. Check the Coraline movie merchandise for yourself. If you're considering checking out your top 10 YA books for teens or even the top Disney Channel shows coming from all time, you'll be able to take a peek at these links at the same time. A side good thing about using just one in the CPU's is how the other is available to allow me to easily do other pursuits because the rendering goes' internet surfing, email, IM, article marketing for Bright Hub, etc. If you decide for the monthly membership (there is just not a lots of difference pricewise between monthly and lifetime) you will probably be capable of download as much movies as it is possible to before your month is up.

SOURCE: Worlds Inc.
December 01, 2016 09:01 ET
BOSTON, MA--(Marketwired - Dec 1, 2016) - The U.S. Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO) has validated six patent claims by Worlds Inc. (OTCQB: WDDD) following Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) review of World's seminal technology that has been fundamental to the development of massively multiplayer online role-playing gaming (MMORPG) into a $20-billion dollar industry. Validated claims were: Claims 4, 8, 13, and 16 of Patent 7,181,690 B1 - IPR2015-01268 and claims 5 and 7 of Patent 7,493,558 B2 - IPR2015-01269.
As previously announced, Worlds' MMORPG technology patents were subject to an Inter Partes Review (IPR) due to Bungie Inc. challenging the validity of Worlds' patent portfolio at the USPTO. The commencement of the IPR proceeding caused the federal district court to put Worlds' federal patent infringement lawsuit against Activision Blizzard, Inc., Blizzard Entertainment, Inc. and Activision Publishing, Inc. (Activision Blizzard et al) on hold pending the outcome of the IPR. 500 million monthly active users around the globe use Activision Blizzard et al's MMORPG products. Worlds is represented before the PTAB by Wayne M. Helge of Davidson, Berquist, Jackson & Gowdey, LLP and in the federal district court litigation by Susman Godfrey L.L.P.
"The validation of these six claims by the USPTO PTAB enables Worlds to resume our Federal court case against Activision Blizzard et al as well as pursue other infringement suits," noted Thomas Kidrin, Worlds Inc. CEO. "We are still awaiting the PTAB's final ruling on case # IPR2015-01319 for our seventh patent, # 8,082,501, which should come out shortly. We are pleased with the PTAB's ruling on these particular claims. However we believe that a number of the disallowed claims should have been ruled in our favor. After we receive all the rulings, we will assess our position and options with legal counsel and determine the best strategy regarding future litigation and alliances with strategic partners that will maximize potential of our intellectual property."
Kidrin continued, "In the five years since starting litigation against Activision et al, we've overcome the numerous challenges they've raised against our intellectual property (IP). We've already received a favorable Markman ruling, as well as overcame the Motion for Summary Judgment and lawsuit by Activision in California. Once again our IP has been validated and we are renewing our commitment to pursue those infringing upon our patents."
More information on the lawsuit and Worlds' patents can be found on the Worlds.com website.

Review for Home, by Toni Morrison below, or at Readings online (how I love that woman!):
Toni Morrison's tenth novel, Home, is a quiet revelation of masculinity and patriotism. In the opening image, Korean War veteran Frank observes the stance of horses as he hides with his sister Cee. 'They rose up like men. We saw them. Like men they stood,' he says to an unnamed narrator. What is a man, and indeed, what is he in relation to war? asks the novel in return.
Home begins with Frank's return to America. For reasons he does not know he has been institutionalised in a mental hospital. A letter from a mysterious woman suggests that his sister might be dying. Spurred on, he escapes and begins his journey home. At the same time, Cee, previously coddled and protected by Frank, applies for a job for a white doctor who, unknown to Cee, is a pioneer of eugenics. This sets up some compelling and complex questions for the remaining narrative to answer: America circa 1950s is a racist country, and on his journey Frank struggles with many demons, both internal and external.
Where the novel falls short is in its brevity. The characters are archetypes and are boldly drawn – the brooding, angry soldier, and the down-trod, unwanted girl – however at less than 150 pages, the exploration afforded to them is lightly drawn. The revelations at the end are surprising but skipped over, and both Frank's redemption and Cee's recovery are considerably reduced. Although Morrison writes economically and with poetic power, as a result it feels at times as if the spaces between images are too unexplored.
At 81, Toni Morrison is a literary legend, having recently been awarded the Presidential Award of Freedom by US president Barack Obama. Although not as complex as her best novels, Home is still a formidable addition to her body of work. It is also sign that she has not finished yet.

News: CBSE to introduce Theatre Studies for classes 11, 12 from 2013-14
With the view that theatre can play an important role in reinforcing and furthering the learning of other academic subjects which are taught in conventional ways, the CBSE plans to introduce "Theatre Studies" as a pilot course on first come first served basis to CBSE affiliated schools in class XI from the current academic session 2013-2014. With the introduction of this elective, the CBSE aims to make its students more self-reliant and independent as well as encourage creative thinking among them.
Theatre Studies will be offered as an elective subject with any combination of three other electives and a language. It will have a 70 marks theory paper with 30 marks for case study based project and viva voce.

text: State of the Wii 6th of March 2008 Rather than bury it in a staff forum I am posting this in the testing area as I figured I would get peoples opinions/suggestions before finishing it up and going live (that and it is rather rapidly approaching 1am). I would not really suggest you use it if you are completely new to this (ironically I would suggest you look at the existing posts and tutorials despite this aiming to prevent the need for that) but if you have be following it a little bit you should be OK. Most of you are probably aware of the fact there have been a lot of happenings in the Wii hacking community over the last couple of weeks. This newspost attempts to distil this down into a quick summary and bypass all the junk that got mixed up in it. Topics covered Wii homebrew -Twilight exploit and ELF loader. -Initial homebrew Where to now. Wii iso signing/decryption and things that have come from it. Compressible isos Initial hacks "Region free". Topics not covered Wii chips – the current iteration has effectively reached its zenith with the next ones expected to counteract firmware updates. Included in this is dual layer discussion of games such as Smash brothers. Wii games and the state thereof – Refer to Hadrian's release threads ( http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=76835 ) and the release topics for this one. Longstanding wii hacks/techniques- namely gamecube homebrew, dumping wii games, multi GC iso discs...... This has all been covered in more depth than is possible here and is not buried by requests, theories and tests like the new developments are. In all likelihood this post will be outdated within the week if current speed of development is anything to go by but it should help people who decided work/family/personal hygiene/food was more important and consequently missed it all. Wii homebrew. In some regards this has been overshadowed by the wii signing developments below but it is still of the utmost importance. First things first: the good news. It is possible do this without modding your wii, you only need a copy of the Wii version of Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess (if you have a chipped wii you can use a copy too) and an SD card to transfer some data although you also realistically need a gamecube memory card to SD adapter (or USBgecko) and a gamecube controller to get anything from it. You can make a SD adapter (guide from longstanding GBAtemp member scorpei): http://ngc.scorpei.com/GUIDE-SD_adapter.html or you can buy one from a large number of online shops for about $15/€15 shipped. The USB Gecko is a new device with some interesting new features, scorpei has a review for those who are interested http://wii.scorpei.com/usbgecko.html The theory Recently save games were deciphered and consequently able to be edited. You have a horse in Zelda called Epona, the hack changes Epona for a longer name which causes the game to error out (stack smash for those wanting technical terms). This initially just makes the game crash but it also has the ability to inject your own code. A short while later an ELF loader was released. For the unaware ELF is a widely used, documented and accepted standard for making programs (other notable formats include COM (old DOS programs Portable executable (mainly exe) and XBE for the original xbox. The document is very old but serves as a good introduction for the curious: http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/historic-linux/...docs/ELF-HOWTO). More information and a basic setup guide can be found on wiibrew. http://wiibrew.org/index.php?title=Twilight_Hack To use it requires files be placed at certain points on the SD card which can pose a problem for some so there are a couple of tools designed to do it. What has been done. There have been a fair few tech demos which will be mentioned at the end of this section but the main interest comes from three points: the SNES emulator http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=76374 the megadrive/genesis emulator http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=77094 the linux port. Linux is a computer kernel (the kernel is the core of the software for a computer) that has been ported to most processor types in existence (it is used on many things ranging from TVs to mobile phones and even the DS has a port). Linux however is just a kernel and does not do much by itself so people bundle stuff with it designed to perform certain tasks. Being open source and fairly well documented it can be modified into near enough any computer tool that is required and it has been ( http://distrowatch.com/ , for the most part though people refer to so called desktop linux where the aim is to create an environment for people to write documents, surf the internet, look at pictures.........) the collection of programs/tools is known as distribution or frequently by the slang term distro. This is where this comes in, many notable gamecube homebrew applications like GCOS and the mplayer port use the linux kernel as base and work from there. By getting linux to run on the wii it becomes much easier to make and port applications to run on the wii. http://www.gc-linux.org/wiki/Main_Page Other homebrew noted homebrew author emu kidid released an mp3 player. .. .. Section on tech demos. .. .. .. Dol to elf converter Not flawless but can get old cube homebrew running via this exploit. http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=76445 Tehskeen has good info here http://www.tehskeen.com/modules.php?name=News http://www.tehskeen.com/modules.php?name=N...desc&page=2 http://www.tehskeen.com/modules.php?name=N...desc&page=3 http://www.tehskeen.com/modules.php?name=N...desc&page=4 Wiibrew too http://wiibrew.org/index.php?title=Main_Page The future: most homebrew developers for the gamecube use the devkitpro subset devkitppc/libogc. The most recent version (released on the 29th of February) v14 added Wii support although only preliminary support: no wii remote, no wii hardware that was not on the gamecube such as the wifi and SD slot. Devkitpro site: http://www.devkitpro.org/ Devkitppc release news: http://www.devkitpro.org/devkitpro/devkitp...se-14-is-final/ Part2: Wii signing/ iso decryption. The section that will probably form the bulk of this post. You need a modded wii for this In mid January a tool was released to decrypt wii isos and followed up by a few more. http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=72013&st=0 While some work was done then it was not of much use for people other than spriters and the curious as you could not run any alterations. GBAtemp member Dack had a theory though. The already decrypted isos only contained files that totalled anywhere from a few tens of megabytes right up to a few gigabytes, still far short of the full (single layer) DVDs that had been used since the start of wii backups though. It turned out the most of the time the junk data in between was filled with random garbage which did not compress (rare cases such as puzzle quest did not have this and do compress nicely), the new decryption stuff could be used to predict this garbage and work around it (in this case by overwriting it with easily compressed sections that the wii does not read) http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=75227&st=0 An application called Wii scrubber was released to allow anyone to do it for their isos with some impressive results. IMPORTANT There is still some debate as to whether this works with the Trucha signer below so if you plan on using it do not scrub your isos unless you can restore them. The Trucha signer Several months back at a conference a wii hack was unveiled, it used a key that the developers had stored in the memory of the wii which was quickly read and used to allow native homebrew (native= code running using the hardware of the system, not a cut down version i.e. Gamecube homwbrew or a scripting language: the web browser homebrew). This was not released though beyond video stage, enough information was released for the technique to be replicated and thus was born the Trucha signer. In short it allows you to remove and reinsert (modified) files into Wii isos and comes with a nice GUI to aid you in this. IBNobody wrote a nice guide to getting it set up and the basics of operation (check the downloads section as some of the files are in it) http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=76657&st=0 Along come the hackers. The basic premise of hacking is that the string of 1's and 0's represents something, if you can figure out what it is that a particular section of 1's and 0's does (and now thanks to this signer run it) you can change what the game does. The developers in many cases were rather nice leaving big clues to the meaning of code sections and using well known and well documented methods of data encoding/storage: http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=72013&st=0 For more on rom hacking have a read of the rom hacking documentation project and the threads in the DS rom hacking section. http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=73394 This site is not bad either although it is geared towards PCs: http://www.acm.uiuc.edu/sigmil/RevEng/index.html This has led to several hacks and advancements in a very short space of time. Thanks Costello, initial list, there have been a few left out: http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=76765 Enable gore in Manhunt 2 (source) - Disable the drivecheck in Super Mario Galaxy (source) - Change the credits and increase characters speed in Mario Strikers (source) - Play Manhunt 2 in Italian or German (source) - Swap character's movesets in SSBB (source) - Boot SSBB without 15% trick or dual channels (source) - Boot SSBB on a single layer disc (source) multiple versions here - Remove Error 001 in SSBB (source) - Invincibility in Manhunt 2 (source) - Nitrobike hack, NTSC only (source) - Guitar Hero III customization (source) region free/video setting: (also mention datel's offering?) http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=77354&hl= main discussion thread: http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=76509 Edit: Other than finish it I reckon I will update my section on rom patching from my original rom hacking docs and add it in. PPF, BSDiff, xdelta and some form of batch file to pull off the hacks will likely be needed as well as a list of frontends/ports for another os if available.

Fincantieri and Lockheed said to be in deal to acquire Manitowoc Marine
Fincantieri is thought to be discussing a possible acquisition of Manitowoc's shipbuilding operations, which include Marinette Marine. According to some sources, who have picked up on a report in an Italian newspaper Il Secolo XIX, a deal is imminent. Lockheed Martin would, according to the Il Secolo report, partner Fincantieri in the acquisition.
Fincantieri is a member of the Lockheed Martin team building LCS 1 at Marinette Marine.
Both Manitowoc and Fincantieri decline to comment. Fincantieri has long been known to have ambitions to acquire a U.S. shipyard and the shipbuilding operations have long been seen as an awkward fit with the other things that Manitowoc does--food processing and cranes.
Stay tuned. Il Secolo thinks there'll be an announcement "in days."

could you elaborate on where i get absurd? not trying to get you mad, but that can happen in any alleyway. to say that someone was raped simply for dressing a certain way is one sided in my perspective. the mind of a rapist is like that of a shark, or a serial killer. yeah if you wear clothes that are revealing it is like rotten bloody meat in open sea water. me i know nothing
Originally posted by rockoperawriter

A recent analysis of 20 studies over the last 30 years indicates that between 31% and 57% of women have rape fantasies, and these fantasies are frequent or preferred in 9% to 17% of women. Considering that many people are ashamed to report rape fantasies, these stats are most likely lowball figures. In my personal experience, most women really appreciate subtle to moderate domination in the bedroom—a little forceful restraint, a little pain—as long as they feel safe.
I had one girlfriend who wanted me to call her a slut, but that was pushing my boundaries. Though I didn't mind calling her naughty, etc., for expressing pleasure at whatever I was doing to her. The whole "you shouldn't like this but I know you do" routine. She explained that sexuality was taboo in her household growing up. So pretending that she was being corrupted by someone else freed her to go along with the illicit activities and indulge in her repressed desires. Not all of our play followed this narrative, but when it did, the temperature rose.Research into rape fantasies hasn't been particularly well publicized.
Many people don't want to acknowledge that women have them, for fear that the news will incite or excuse real rape: "See? Women want it after all!" But I follow the Kinsey line that it's better to study the disturbing parts of human sexuality than to keep them in the dark.
A lot of people here are presuming women dress "Skimpy" to attain sexual attention.

Normal men can control their sexual impulses. Rapists can't or won't. Should women pander to these degenerates (and their sympathizers) by bundling themselves up in layers of clothing and staying out of male view? Should they fiddlesticks. It's the rapists who need shutting away, not the women.

The refurbished Southern Hotel in downtown Covington has scheduled grand re-opening ceremonies for the weekend of May 30-June 1 to tie in with the 107th anniversary of the hotel's original opening on June 1, 1907. A formal ribbon cutting ceremony will be held at 11 a.m. on May 30.
Mayor Mike Cooper announced the grand re-opening at a community meeting Wednesday morning. The boutique hotel, which has undergone extensive renovations since early 2012, will include 42 guest rooms, a 2,400-square-foot ballroom, meeting space, a restaurant, an upscale bar, and spa treatment and fitness rooms.
Originally established in the early 1900s as a physical and spiritual retreat where visitors could re-energize in a serene environment, the Southern Hotel hosted guests for more than 50 years, according to a news release. In recent years, the building was used as a drug store and for offices before it was purchased in 2011 by developers Lisa Condrey Ward, Joseph Ward, and Ricky and Gayle Condrey, who announced plans to return it to its original use.
The renovated hotel, located at 428 E. Boston St., will represent an investment of about $8 million, Lisa Condrey Ward has said.
City officials have said they hope the hotel will reinvigorate the city's downtown area and create a cultural centerpiece for its historic district.

Well, I haven't bothered to write a blog since April! Plenty has happened since then. I'll try to give you a quick recap. First weekend of May I got bitten by Bacon. I don't know if I had mentioned it before, but we found out that the dog that came to us that we named Busy, is really named Bacon. I talked to the owner, he mentioned that he would be taking him with him when the lease is up and moves. However it's been so long since that discussion that I think he left him. I haven't seen his truck in a while. So it looks like for now he's ours!
A dear friend passed away in May, very unexpectedly. That was definitely a sad time to go through. In July our neighbor across the street passed away too. It makes me sad thinking about either one of them so I'm not going to discuss this too much. I just want to say that they were both great men and the world has lost two really good loving people.
After going to the Houston race in April I started working for my friend, she has really pretty rhinestoned bikinis that women buy for competition and she pays me per bikini to individually glue the stones on them. I was thinking that even though it isn't an ideal job, it gets money in my pocket while I can sit at home and figure out what in the hell I'll be doing for the rest of my life. And so far that's fine by me. I opened up a savings account and decided to put $10 per bikini in it so I can have a little something. I don't know exactly what I'm gonna do with it, but if I had started at the beginning then I would have over a thousand dollars now. That would be a nice chunk of change!
I also have decided to run in the Disney Princess Half Marathon in February 2014. I'm going with my niece who will be 21 a few weeks before the event, and we're excited! We'll be meeting another friend of mine there too, she did it earlier this year and got me excited! That's another thing that I'm saving for. My dad has graciously offered to put it on his credit card while I save the money to pay him back. I'm hoping my niece can save a little too so we can pay for the whole trip!
That's all I can remember right now, besides a fun weekend with some of my girls in Dallas, and then another fun weekend for my friend's daughter's Birthday party at Lake Conroe.
On a side note, I think that I need to do something different in my life. I need to change some things. I can't continue to live day-by-day with no goals, physically, mentally, spiritually. I feel like a lush half of the time. Pretty much a bunch of my habits are unhealthy. The only thing I've been doing right is walk/jog in the morning while it's cool, which I enjoy because I take the dogs with me. There are a bunch of things I'd like to do. I think "I need to do this, or that" and then I think "nah, that's too much work" and have a glass of wine! But I have projects that I want to do and finish and I can't find the motivation to do ANYTHING! So if you have some wonderful idea on how to prioritize my life that would be great! Or even better if you're a life coach and don't want payment for it, I'm coachable! I pretty much need something I can do to help myself because I have no money to pay for someone to help me!
I'm going to try and make my blog posts smaller and try to do it more frequently…we'll see how that goes…probably like my other healthy ideas…out the window! LOL!

The person who we bought this for is a total junk-food sugar junkie. We bought it as part of a group gift when he had surgery. He's not the typical "flowers and chocolate" person, and he always talks about "old-school" candy. This was the ultimate gift for him, and fits his personality perfectly!

Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 769719
resource key not HTML-escaped in search results and resource detail (possibly elsewhere?)
Last modified: 2013-08-31 06:12:24 EDT
Description of problem:
The resource key for apache Directory and IfModule resources starts with a '<' which makes them invisible in both search results and resource detail page.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce:
1. inventory apache, enable augeas in its connection settings, run detailed discovery to get the directory and IfModule resources discovered
2. click on one of the discovered directories or ifmodules
3. expand the details on the detail page
Actual results:
key appears empty
Expected results:
key is shown
Additional info:
alternative repro steps:
1. inventory apache, enable augeas in its connection settings, run detailed discovery to get the directory and IfModule resources discovered
2. go to Inventory > Services
3. right-click on the search results table header, check the "Key" in the "Columns" menu.
4. search for one of the directories or ifmodules
That's an annoying resource key.
master commit 2c9a0b72daaefbab9697d0a14494106a957b2dac
Treat the key value as needing to be HTML escaped in the resource
overview and search views. Although, it is not typically displayed in
search results anyway.
Verified on build#1457 (Version: 4.4.0-SNAPSHOT Build Number: 804e43c)
Verified that resource key is shown in Apache directories and ifmodules resource details page and in 'key' column of Inventory->Services. Also verified in 'key' column of Inventory tab of a compatible group of apache directories and ifmodules.
Screenshots attached.

I don't know about any of that. What I do know is that this report is absolutely correct.

Well, we've finally arrived at the tail-end of the top 50 AFL players of the 2016 season - the top 10.
It wasn't easy to settle on a top 10. Over the past couple of weeks, I found myself cutting one player and putting another in, but I eventually settled on the 10 guys who I believe have influenced the game the most.
Before I get started on revealing the top 10, just a quick recap on who's already made the top 50:
Part One:
Part Two:
Part Three:
Part Four:
50. Jason Johannisen (Western Bulldogs)
49. Dayne Zorko (Brisbane)
48. Jack Viney (Melbourne)
47. Luke Dahlhaus (Western Bulldogs)
46. Lachie Hunter (Western Bulldogs)
45. Robbie Tarrant (North Melbourne)
44. Josh Jenkins (Adelaide)
43. Kade Simpson (Carlton)
42. Matt Priddis (West Coast)
41. Corey Enright (Geelong)
40. Callan Ward (GWS)
39. Jack Macrae (Western Bulldogs)
38. Rory Laird (Adelaide)
37. Sam Docherty (Carlton)
36. Nick Riewoldt (St. Kilda)
35. Andrew Gaff (West Coast)
34. Stephen Coniglio (GWS)
33. Sam Mitchell (Hawthorn/West Coast)
32. Patrick Cripps (Carlton)
31. Daniel Talia (Adelaide)
30. Luke Shuey (West Coast)
29. Liam Picken (Western Bulldogs)
28. Cyril Rioli (Hawthorn)
27. Matthew Boyd (Western Bulldogs)
26. Adam Treloar (Collingwood)
25. Jack Steven (St. Kilda)
24. Heath Shaw (GWS)
23. Jeremy McGovern (West Coast)
22. Dane Rampe (Sydney)
21. Toby Greene (GWS)
20. Zach Merrett (Essendon)
19. Dale Morris (Western Bulldogs)
18. Dylan Shiel (GWS)
17. Lachie Neale (Fremantle)
16. Scott Pendlebury (Collingwood)
15. Robbie Gray (Port Adelaide)
14. Joel Selwood (Geelong)
13. Dan Hannebery (Sydney)
12. Max Gawn (Melbourne)
11. Tom Lynch (Gold Coast)
10. Luke Parker – Sydney
Pre-Season Ranking: 21
Career Games: 127
Career Goals: 103
Another incredible season from Parker, who at only 23, has established himself as one of the game's elite midfielders. Averaged 27 disposals this year, setting personal best averages in contested possessions (13.5 per game), tackles (6.5 per game) and clearances (six per game). Finished second in the Brownlow medal and was named in the All-Australian team for the first time in his career.
9. Dustin Martin – Richmond
Pre-Season Ranking: 29
Career Games: 153
Career Goals: 150
I truly believe Martin has elevated himself from a very good player to elite this year. In a season where the Tigers were abysmal, Martin was one of the few players that could hold his head high after a stunning year. Averaged a career-high 31 disposals a game from 22 games this year, as well as averages of five clearances and five inside 50s per game – both of those also career-high numbers. Capped off the year with a first-time All-Australian selection and a first-time best and fairest win at the Tigers.
8. Rory Sloane – Adelaide
Pre-Season Ranking: 37
Career Games: 141
Career Goals: 86
When Patrick Dangerfield fled Adelaide to return home to Geelong, there was an enormous amount of pressure that was put on players like Sloane to keep the Crows in finals contention. I had no doubts that Sloane would rise to the challenge, lifting his game to a career year. An All-Australian and best and fairest winner for the Crows this year, Sloane averaged a personal-best 25 disposals per game, as well as seven tackles, five clearnces and four inside 50s per game.
7. Josh Kennedy – West Coast
Pre-Season Ranking: 16
Career Games: 188
Career Goals: 450
Although I've criticised Kennedy's game over the last few years about him being a 'flat-track bully', there's no denying he's worthy of a top 10 spot, because as a forward, he gets paid to kick goals. For the second-straight year, Kennedy has booted 80 goals or more for the Eagles, booting 82 goals this year to take out the Coleman Medal for the second consecutive year. He averaged six marks per game, three tackles per game, and nearly four marks inside 50 per game this year, which is kind of impressive for a big man such as Kennedy.
6. Eddie Betts – Adelaide
Pre-Season Ranking: 30
Career Games: 253
Career Goals: 479
He had a pretty good 2015 campaign, but he backed it up with an even better 2016 campaign. He kicked 75 goals in 24 games, which for a small forward is extremely rare. Not only does he kick goals and win games, he has this uncanny ability to drill them from anywhere on either pocket, how many small forwards are able to do that? Eddie is one of a kind, and anyone who believes he is overrated needs to seriously re-evaluate themselves.
5. Josh Kennedy – Sydney
Pre-Season Ranking: 14
Career Games: 183
Career Goals: 115
Kennedy is perhaps one of the best inside midfielders we've seen in this modern era. Kennedy averaged career-highs in disposals (31 per game) and contested possessions (17 per game) as well as maintaining solid averages in clearances (seven per game), tackles (five per game) and inside 50s per game (five per game). Won his third best and fairest at the Swans this year, and was responsible for nearly dragging the Swans over the line in the Grand Final.
4. Alex Rance – Richmond
Pre-Season Ranking: 15
Career Games: 150
Career Goals: 8
Rance is without a doubt the best key defender going around in the AFL right now. What makes him so? Not only has he got the capabilities of shutting down his direct opponent, but he can win the ball either in the air or at ground-level and can be the one that drives it out of defence. Like Martin, Rance has been a shining star in an otherwise dismal Richmond team, averaging 18 disposals and nearly eight marks per game.
3. Marcus Bontempelli – Western Bulldogs
Pre-Season Ranking: 43
Career Games: 63
Career Goals: 58
At only 20 years of age, Marcus Bontempelli has nearly done it all. He's already a premiership player, he's a best and fairest winner and has already experienced captaining a winning team. His numbers may pale in comparison to the likes of Kennedy, Parker and Martin (averages 24 disposals, four tackles, four clearances, four inside 50s and a goal per game), It's what he does with the ball in hand is what puts people in awe. He's already proven he can win games off his own boot, I cannot wait to see what the future has in store for this young man.
2. Lance Franklin – Sydney
Pre-Season Ranking: 6
Career Games: 247
Career Goals: 787
Arguably the greatest key forward in the game today. Franklin returned to his brilliant best this year after his 2015 campaign derailed due to mental issues. He played every game this season, kicking 81 goals in 26 games, and his work up the ground didn't go unnoticed either, averaging 17 disposals, six marks and four inside 50s per game. Bulldog fans wouldn't want to imagine what could've been if he didn't roll his ankle in the Grand Final.
1. Patrick Dangerfield – Geelong
Pre-Season Ranking: 3
Career Games: 178
Career Goals: 187
There wasn't any other choice was there? Love him or hate him, Dangerfield was pretty much in a league of his own with Gary Ablett a shadow of his former self and Nathan Fyfe put on the shelf for most of the year. In his first year at his new club, Dangerfield fulfilled the lofty expectations put on him by the Geelong faithful and then some, averaging nearly 32 disposals per game, eight inside 50s per game (both career-highs), six clearances, five marks, four tackles and a goal per game. Nearly took home every award imaginable, winning Geelong's best and fairest, All-Australian honours, AFL MVP and last, but not least the Brownlow.

(Alexandria, VA) – Today, the 362,000-member National Taxpayers Union (NTU) endorsed the "Rural America Preservation Act of 2012" introduced by Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA). The legislation would limit the annual per-farm commodity subsidy to $250,000 a year, and close loopholes.
Currently, 10 percent of farmers receive 70 percent of farm program benefits – highlighting the departure of these subsidy programs from their intended purpose of "saving the family farm." Making matters worse, the Department of Agriculture fails to ensure these taxpayer dollars are effectively delivered to those actually involved in farming.
"The farm subsidy system requires drastic reform, and Senator Grassley's proposal is an important step in that effort," said NTU Federal Affairs Manager Nan Swift. "Taxpayers are shelling out far too much money with insufficient oversight, leading to waste that is especially unconscionable in the midst of trillion-dollar deficits and an uncertain economy."
Senator Grassley added: "With skyrocketing debt and an economy that continues to sputter, Congress needs to finally look out for the American taxpayer. This bill is a win-win for everybody. Not only does it save taxpayer dollars, but it's also good for national security by ensuring that a safe and stable food supply will be available for years to come. Setting strict caps on all commodity programs should be a no-brainer as we look to find savings and increase accountability in farm programs."
The 362,000-member NTU is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization working for lower taxes, smaller government, and economic freedom at all levels. More information on NTU's agricultural policy work, including a letter of support for Senator Grassley's legislation, is available at www.ntu.org.

She suggested I try it too, instead of going with my tendency to go overboard by trying to scrapbook and dress it up (in the limited amount of daylight hours I have, no less), she and another mom said, "Just get the memories down on paper and you can do all of that later".
Needless to say, I was over-excited and I happily took her up on it. It's the best thing I could have ever done and I want you to try it too. It can be as long or short as you'd like. My only regret is that I didn't start sooner, but there's still room for anecdotes.
|Image Source: 123RF
Because of the deep love and connection I have for/with my girls and all the time we've been blessed to spend getting to know each other, I really get all teary-eyed when I write the letters and read over them because it helps me see how beautiful a thing Motherhood is.
It's made me closer to them and it helps me get through those days that they're going absolutely crazy and driving me there as well, because I have recalled those beautiful memories that made me fall in love with my kids in the first place. As long as I have those swirling around in my head, I find my patience lasts much longer and my compassion really comes through before my anger does.
Before I go, I want to share one I wrote with you so that if you choose to do this, you can get an idea of where to start. Although, just like with homeschooling, there's no one way to do this and the more creative you can get, the better it all will be. I would love for you to comment back and let me know any other things you've come up with that myself and others might like to implement or just appreciate. And remember: Don't edit! Write from your Mommy's Heart.

Re: When You Hold My Hand
Dear Yusrah,
I love it when you hold my hand. You hold it like you'll never let it go. It's the best thing in the world;^) Your little soft fingers are so warm and when they curl around mine I feel so secure. I hope you do, too.
Re: When You Read To Me & The Things You Say
Dear Safiyyah,
I'm so proud of you and how well you are reading these days. You are doing a phenomenal job!! I love that you are reading to ME now, after all the books you've patiently listened to me read to YOU all this time. I just watch your eyes move over the page and am in awe that you not only learned that from me, but you're teaching yourself new things because every day you get better. Something you should know about Mommies: We always, always worry. And, I worry constantly if I'm doing this homeschooling thing just right. Thank you so much for the reassurance, it's right on-time and I'm excited to keep learning with you, My Baby.

On Wed, we were traveling around to our different activities and I used my GPS to find the easiest, quickest way around since we went to three different places.
When we were on our way to the new Big Girl Story Time at the Howard Co. Library, I was fussing at the GPS for trying to send me the wrong way when you said "Mommy, if you know how to get there already then why are you listening to your GPS?"
All I could do was laugh and say "Yes, baby, you're right. I was just trying to see what the GPS would say in case I hadn't thought of a faster way to get there. But, you're right." and I called and shared it with Grandma who laughed equally hard. Some days I think Allah made you all so much smarter than us.

HONOLULU (AP) - January 15, 2013 --A baby humpback whale that was found floundering in shallow waters off Hawaii's Kawaikui Beach Park has died.
David Schofield, with NOAA's Marine Mammal Response Network, says the carcass will be removed from the beach and taken to Hawaii Pacific University. Tissue will be taken in an effort to determine why the baby whale died.
KHON-TV reported that the whale died shortly before 9 p.m. Monday. A fisherman found it alive but in distress late in the afternoon. Schofield says the baby whale was stranded due to being separated from its mother. He says the calf was in poor shape when found.
Schofield says this is the time of year in which humpback whales are giving birth. He says each year four or five newborns wash up on beaches.

Eric Beltz Melds Myth and Mysticism in Other-Worldly Graphite Drawings
Artsy Editorial
Eric Beltz's surreal graphite drawings juxtapose religious and mythological symbolism, shamanism, and historical tableaux from the American Southwest. Research into cultural and religious history is central to his practice: "I am kind of a voracious researcher, maybe an obsessive too because when I find an interest I try to delve into it as deeply as possible," he explains, "as my work develops I often return to my notes that I've taken from all of these different books to see if I can find something that I can respond to." Beltz's meticulous compositions point to the diverse cultural roots that make up contemporary life in the United States.

one minute i was playing with the dogs, trying to clean pearl's ears (oh wait, who's pearl? that's another storm altogether). from the terrace i watched the water rise, until we all started getting panicky.
rugs started to be rolled. then it was already to late to bring out the cars to higher ground. we started grabbing everything in sight and carrying it to the second floor.
the last picture i took before utter panic was this:
the water about to breach the windows. (when we inspected the damage later, the water line reached up to about 3 inches above the horizontal grill). we gave up when we began to see snakes (tiny ones) swimming everywhere (yes,even inside the house).
absolutely helpless, we all retreated to the second floor (6 people and 3 dogs and 1 cockatiel). and the water continued to rise and rise and rise.
i tried not to think of my beloved car which had never, ever failed me, being swallowed by the dirty flood water. of my dad's car and my sister's car in the same garage. of the cockatiels, budgies and the lone lovebird who were probably in panic over the rising water. of the books and photos from fiji and concep that i was not able to save. of all the furniture floating around. (yes, it was amazing, everything floated: the dining table, the antique four poster bed, the upholstered sofas, the carved chests, chairs, shelves, kitchen tables, even the chest freezer).
from my bedroom window, i watched people swimming in the street (video later), a brown shrike relentlessly fishing out drowning insects from the water, and my niece's plastic slide and swing set floating in circles in our front yard.
and just before the flood waters could breach our 6 foot fence. it stopped raining. and the flood waters started to recede. in an hour we could survey the damage. it was heartbreaking.
but then the people on the street shouted that there was a dead body in the creek. and i saw that our next door neighbors lived in bungalows. and i heard the devastation all over metro manila on the news.
it will be a MAJOR overhaul, cleaning and tons of things to throw out. but for me and my family, tomorrow the sun will shine, and everything will dry out. i still have a lot to be thankful for.
i read in the papers that yesterday typhoon ondoy dumped 341 milliliters of rain on metro manila in 6 hours. the averag rainfall for metro manila for september is 391.7 millilters. ano ba namang laban natin dun?

MILWAUKEE — Shaun Marcum may soon have more clarity on the upper-back soreness that has been present during his last two starts.
A Mets spokesman last night said the veteran right-hander was headed to St. Louis for further medical evaluation today. Marcum underwent an MRI exam Tuesday on his upper back, but was cleared to pitch Saturday against the Brewers. Marcum allowed six runs, five of which were earned, on 11 hits over five innings.
Afterward, Marcum described his symptoms as including numbness, tingling and coldness in his hand.
Before the Mets beat the Brewers 2-1 yesterday, manager Terry Collins said he was toying with the idea of skipping Marcum's next start, allowing the pitcher to have an extended rest through the All-Star break. Carlos Torres would be in position to join the rotation if Marcum needs a stint on the disabled list.
* Ruben Tejada, whose rehab assignment ended Saturday — he was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas — will have to impress Mets brass in several areas before he's considered for a return to the big leagues.
"I want to hear about quality at-bats," Collins said. "I want to hear about the fact his first-step quickness is back. He's not Jose Reyes, but he had great instincts to the ball and I want to make sure that I hear that is back.
"[Also], that he's getting to baseballs, that he is getting a good read to balls off the bat. He's in a tough place to play, so if he's getting it there, I know that he's getting ready."
* Eric Young Jr. had two hits and a stolen base and is batting .300 (24-for-80) with 10 RBIs in 18 games since joining the Mets. Young played center field yesterday instead of left because Collins wanted to get Andrew Brown's righty bat into the lineup.

(AP) Iran pushes to blunt UN nuke agency powers
By GEORGE JAHN
Associated Press
Iran is urging member countries to dilute the clout of Western nations at the U.N. nuclear agency that fears it may be trying to make atomic arms. Instead, it wants its allies to have more authority.
The bid is outlined in a document submitted for the International Atomic Energy Agency's General Conference next month. It appears to be part of Tehran's efforts to weaken IAEA attempts to follow up suspicions it has experimented with components of a nuclear weapons program.
Iran denies such allegations and says it is enriching uranium _ which could be used to arm nuclear warheads _ only to make reactor fuel, medical isotopes and for research. But it has refused foreign offers of reactor fuel and is blocking IAEA attempts to investigate the weapons allegations.

Martin Sheen Doesn't Actually Condemn Zero Dark Thirty
He was "very moved and troubled," to be clear.
Martin Sheen appears to have joined an Ed Asner/David Clennon-led opposition to Zero Dark Thirty by mistake. "It's my own fault," he says, clarifying to the Times that he's anti-torture, not anti-ZDT, and wouldn't have purposefully insinuated otherwise. In fact, he wrote Kathryn Bigelow and Mark Boal a handwritten letter of admiration about the film. Sheen says the Oscar-nom has "done great, great service to the issue" of torture and he "was very moved and troubled" by the viewing experience.
