Adults Can Laugh Out Loud At Mama's Comedy Show!
It's always more fun at Mama's!
Mama's Comedy Show is Orlando's very best improv comedy show, and it'll have you in stitches. It's kind of like "Whose Line Is It Anyway" but with a much more adult twist on things. In fact, it isn't really family-friendly, intended for mature audiences only. But it'd make a great night out for you and your special someone, or you and a few of your best friends!
Meet The Family
Every Friday night, the 'family' of Mama's Comedy Show gets together so you can laugh at their expense. While not all of the family may get together at one time, you just never know who is going to drop by to entertain you. You might meet Uncle Ed, or one of numerous cousins- like cousins Tony G., Todd, Ali, Matt, Gordon, Lisa, Jaimz, Mark, Kevin, Heather, or Ryan. The family has been touted as laugh out loud funny, and they work so well together you'll end up thinking they might just really be related after all.
Momma Moolah?
Momma Moolah is cash you can use to see another Mama's Comedy Show, and it's handed out after every single show. Although tickets are normally ten dollars, you can buy them with just five Mama Moolah. It's a nice way for Mama and her ridiculously funny family to show their appreciation for you coming out. Besides, everyone loves the opportunity to get something for free, don't they?
What To Expect
Like mentioned before, the show is definitely adult themed. Like the website says, "Mama can't guarantee that the content will be squeaky clean." Since the show is an improv, the entire thing is based on audience suggestions. You know- name a place, a job, a name, a profession, object, situation, etc. That means that no two shows will ever be the same, so multiple viewings will be like brand new experiences every time. Plus, as an added bonus, you can feel like a very real part of the show- because you are!
Dinner With Your Show
Mama's Comedy Show is part of Sleuth's diner and a show series, so you can enjoy some delicious food while you watch- and the restaurant really goes all out! Before the show, you're served a fresh greens salad, assorted crackers, cheese, dinner rolls with butter, and hors d'oeuvres (both cold and hot variations). Your entree, served during the show, can be a choice of honey-glazed Cornish game hen, prime rib, or four cheese lasagna. Each meal comes with appropriate sides, all of which are absolutely mouth watering! Then there's a delicious mystery dessert for after. What is it? They sure aren't telling! Drinks can include alcohol, soft drinks, tea, or coffee.
If you like to laugh, you can't afford to miss Mama's Comedy Show at Sleuth's. Bring your significant other, some friends, or your own family to enjoy the humorous improv styling of Mama's family.
Mama's Comedy Show is at Sleuth's, located at 8267 International Drive.

Smoking Rate in Solano County is Still Higher than in Other Counties
Approximately 15% of Solano County's population is smoking. This is the highest rate in the nine Bay Area county regions.
Solano County was the seventh among the nine Bay Area counties constituting 14.6 %, higher than Marin County's 7.3% smoking rate and also higher than the statewide rate of 13.1 %, according to data presented by the state Department of Health.
Megan Flores, project director of the Solano County Tobacco Prevention & Education Program declared that for the first time of Solano County existence it has had its own data analyzed by the state.
"The prevalence of smoking rate is usually higher in rural counties than in urban counties. That is why I hope that sate officials will investigate this case and find out why rural counties average constitutes 15.9% versus 10.9% in urban counties," stated, Dr. Mark Horton, California's public health director.
"From my point of view in this situation there are some concerns. I suppose that Solano County's smoking rate was higher due to demographic reasons. When income rises, smoking rate declines. The same is true about educational level," Megan Flores sated.
Megan Flores also reminded that Solano County is a home to Travis Air Force Base, which could influence on the county's smoking rate as there is a great number of young people in the service and smoking prevails among them.
However, the county continues to take measures in this field in order to eradicate this dangerous habit among its population.
Such policies not only help protect non-smokers from exposure to second-hand smoke but also encourage smokers to quit this dangerous habit, according to Megan Flores.
While the FDA currently prohibited flavored cigarettes, Megan Flores declared that the Solano County Tobacco Prevention & Education Program tries to be in line with other counties who want to require Federal Drug Administration (FDA) to prohibit menthol cigarettes that are advertised for teenagers.
Also was conducted a statewide study which revealed that:
- Men still continue to smoke more than women, 15.6 % versus 10.7%
- The college graduate smoking rate constituted 5.9% in comparison to 12% of those with lesser education
- Smoking rate among households who have an income of more than $150,000 constituted 7.8% if compared to a 19.8% rate for those having less than $20,000
- Americans smoke more than 360 billion cigarettes annually, thus bringing to 135 million pounds of butts
- Toxic filters comprise 28% of the whole litter collected worldwide

Everyone wants happiness. There is no question that it is a paramount quest in life.
The Journal of Positive Psychology just published a new study by Paulina Pchelin and Ryan T. Howel, "The hidden cost of value-seeking: People do not accurately forecast the economic benefits of experiential purchases." Long title, huh? The conclusion they reached is this: "In spite of the experiential advantage, people consume material items in the pursuit of happiness."
In other words, although most people know that an afternoon spent in a park is a more enjoyable experience, they will still head for the mall. I don't know how much money it costs to conduct studies like this, but any of us could have told them that for free. It seems they did not accurately forecast the economic downside of their experiential study.
Anyway, we all know the old adage "money can't buy you happiness." But there are plenty of folks who either ignore it or don't believe it's true. Perhaps the problem is that people are confused about what constitutes happiness and how to go about getting it.
In another recent study, Stanford researcher Jennifer Aaaker says, "Although the desire for personal happiness may be clear, the path to achieving it is indefinite. One reason for this hazy route to happiness is that although people often think they know what leads to happiness, their predictions about what will make them happy are often inaccurate."
What's more, she suggests that searching for happiness can lead to less happiness.
The Tao Te Ching says that "sages do not contend." The word "contend," in addition to the sense of contentiousness, means to "go after" or "push for." So, a sage or a buddha does not go after happiness and they are happy, or maybe they don't even look at life in terms of happiness, it is satisfying enough to just be.
Well, we all know this, right? And yet, we often find ourselves grasping after some sort of self-gratification or pleasure, and then feeling disappointed when it isn't all we hoped for. Buddhism defines happiness as achieving a state that is free of suffering. Buddha said that suffering comes from wanting things. He said the greatest suffering comes from not getting what you want, and that the second greatest suffering comes when you get what you want.
The solution, then, seems rather simple: stop chasing after happiness. In The Book of Life, Jiddu Krishnamurti is quoted as saying,
The moment you are conscious that you are happy, it is not happiness, is it? So you cannot go after happiness. The moment you are conscious that you are humble, you are not humble. So happiness is not a thing to be pursued; it comes. But if you seek it, it will evade you."
To stop chasing after happiness is easier said than done, for happiness takes on many forms, and many of the myriad ways in which we search for it are so subtle that we are not aware of what we are doing, or we can be so busy seeking whatever is happiness means to us, that we fail to see that it is all around.
This is one reason why meditation is such a valuable tool, because it helps us see the happiness present in the now. As Nagarjuna said in his Commentary of Bodhicitta,
A happy mind is tranquil. A tranquil mind is not confused. To be unperplexed is to understand the truth. By understanding truth, one obtains freedom from suffering."

Madrid: Real Madrid drew 1-1 against Villarreal and FC Barcelona defeated 3-1 Granada in Spain's La Liga match day.
With these results, Barcelona managed to place themselves just two points below leader Real Madrid.
Real Madrid and Villarreal drew 1-1 in the game played at Madrid's Santiago Bernabeu stadium on Sunday. Cristiano Ronaldo scored Real Madrid's goal, and Gerard Moreno scored Villareal's goal, Xinhua reported.
It was not an easy game for Madrid as the team could not break Villarreal's strong defence led by Moreno, Pepe and Varane.
Real Madrid's only goal was a penalty after Bailly committed a foul against Ronaldo in the 52nd minute. Villarreal equalised in the 65th minute with a fantastic kick from Moreno.
On Saturday, Barcelona defeated Granada 3-1 in a match played in Los Carmenes New Stadium in Granada. Barcelona's goals were scored by Ivan Rakitic, Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez.
After Sunday matches, Real Madrid leads with 61 points, followed by Barcelona with 59, Atletico de Madrid 54, Valencia with 53 and Sevilla with 46.

If you're growing your own cannabis, there is no better or more rewarding feeling than growing from your own seeds, ones that you created. Here are some simple suggestions for making seeds on isolated branches without risk of pollinating your whole crop. These are tried and true methods I've learned and are used by many cannabis farmers here in the Emerald Triangle.
Controlled Pollination of Cannabis
Using fresh pollen is always best. I've collected and stored pollen in the past and, although it works, it's more complicated to deal with. Nothing beats fresh pollen pulled directly from the male flowers of a healthy, live cannabis plant.
You can keep your males in the woods a good distance away from your garden and you shouldn't have to worry about pollinating your crop or your neighbor's. If you're really concerned about the pollen getting into your garden, you can build a small hoop house in the woods to keep your males in once they start to release pollen. Keep in mind, you will need it to be in a mostly shaded area as the sun directly on your hoop house while it's closed would be too hot an environment for the males to remain healthy and produce lots off pollen.
Delaying Pollen Release
As the males bloom, you can continually cut back their flowers throughout the season until your ready to collect pollen to use on your girls. Once your male is root-bound in a pot, it will most likely start flowering soon. Give them extra root space and put them in 7-12 gallon pots or so to prevent them from flowering too early and cut them back as needed.
Because they will flower so early, before your females are ready for pollen, you'll get a good look at their flower and branch structure, smells, and pollen production. You can keep a few males of one strain and learn a lot from them before you decide which you choose to keep for making seeds.
If you can't keep your males in the woods, you could put them indoors. Keep them out of the way in a closet or in the corner of a bathroom. Make some nice house plants out of them. A window view is great but just a little light left on in the bathroom will keep them alive if it's the best you can do.
How to Pollinate the Female Cannabis Plant
Females are ready to be pollinated after it's stretch of early flowering and when they have developed large clusters of pistols stacking hard and forming decent size buds. Cut a 4-6 inch piece, or several pieces of a blooming male flower into a long thin paper bag, similar to bags for bottles of wine. It's always funny going to the liquor store in Southern Humboldt in late August-early September and asking them for wine bags. They seem so confused as to why all of a sudden everyone is asking for so many of these bags. They run out and have to order extra every year.
Before you pollinate, wait until a part of the day when the wind is low in your garden. You don't want to risk the pollen blowing off in the breeze onto another one of your plants, creating unwanted seeds.
Prep a lower branch on the desired female by removing almost all the fan leaves, exposing mostly the flowers. This way you have less risk of wasting your pollen by having it end up on your leaves instead of on your buds. Carefully slip the paper bag with the fresh pollen over the female branch. Close the bottom of the bag tight over the stem/stalk of your female branch, hold it on tight and shake, shake, shake.
You can very carefully remove the bag right away but leaving it covered for a couple hours with a few more shakes may give you better results.
Neutralize Stray Pollen
If you're worried about additional pollen blowing around, spray the surrounding branches with water to neutralize any rogue pollen. Spray the pollinated branches 48 hours later if you're really worried about it. By then, the pollen will have fertilized a seed embryo within each calyx that received pollen that was snagged by its pistols (white hairs on the bud) and the creation of a seed is underway.
I've never had a problem with this method and have made a lot of seeds this way.
Save Your Pollinated Plant from Harvest Time
Make sure to tag and label your branch to differentiate it from the rest of your crop. I use green plant tape tied around the branch. I write the name of the male used and what date the branch was pollinated on the tape. Tell every one "Do not cut these branches at harvest!" Unfortunately, every year someone will always cut one.
Ripening Cannabis Seeds
Once pollinated most seeds will take 4-6 weeks to fully ripen. I test seeds to see if they're ripe by removing one and pinching it to see if it will break. If it's solid and no longer light in color it's usually done. Seeds with stripes are usually a good indicator that it's ripe but not every strain has stripes on its seeds.
Also remember seeds of different genetics come in all different sizes. Some strains seeds are tiny and this could be misinterpreted as unripe.
These days, I still keep some males from spring planting to make seeds on stand-out plants, branch by branch, using this same method. Now I also do a summer seed planting just for breeding and open pollinate in enclosed areas.
You Can Be Your Own Cannabis Breeder
Making seeds is fun and with a good sense of observation and good starting genetics, anyone should be able to have their own quality seed stock and never need to buy seeds again. Unless it's for fun and you want some new genetics to try.
Every cannabis grower, from hobbyist to commercial farmer, can and should make their own seeds. Make some seeds this year and share them.

|PIGGLY WIGGLY AND HER MOTHER ENJOY A HIKE IN THE WOODS where they had damn well better be foraging for wild mushrooms to put on her head because I am running out of ideas.
It has come to my attention that some of you feel I have been lax in my duties as a terrible grandmother by not posting a single picture of Piggly Wiggly in more than a week. Or more to the point, a picture of Piggly Wiggly with something on her head. Please accept this adorable selfie my daughter sent me as a peace offering while I prepare Piggly's head for the next photo shoot. I've come up with something very special for this one. Let's see ... *examines freshly baked apple strudel* Hm. I might have to shave her head for this one. Stay tuned.
DAUGHTER'S NOTE: Well technically, she does have something on her head in this picture.
MY NOTE: *spits venomously* A visor? That's supposed to be there! It doesn't count. You really don't get this game at all, do you?
DAUGHTER'S NOTE: I beg to differ.

Every food poisoning case is unique and can have different results. If you have become ill after eating or drinking, suffered nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or cramping, you may have suffered from food poisoning. Symptoms from eating contaminated food or drink usually appear rapidly but can sometime take as long as 48 hours.
Some cases only affect a single person and others may involve a small or large group who were all exposed to the same source of contamination. Some people suffer only mild symptoms and recover quickly but others can become seriously ill or even die from certain contaminates.
If you or a loved one has suffered from food poisoning due to food or drink served at a restaurant or through food purchased from a store or retailer, you should speak to a Minneapolis personal injury lawyer at Butwinick Injury Law!
Anyone who experiences severe symptoms such as abdominal cramping, bloody stools, dehydration or uncontrolled vomiting should seek immediate emergency medical attention.
When a victim of food poisoning requires hospitalization or emergency medical attention, they likely have the right to seek a settlement.
Our firm can work closely with the authorities to gather enough evidence and testimony to correctly establish the type and source of your food poisoning. Once it can be established who should be held responsible, we can vigorously seek a significant settlement on your behalf.
If you or a family member has suffered from food poisoning contact a Minneapolis personal injury attorney for a free case evaluation.

Fixing your carEdit
Players can simply fix their car by going through an electrified hoop (fixing hoop) whether it would be suspended in the air (which then must be accessed by taking off from a ramp) or low enough on the ground that cars can simply go through it. Once fixed, the car will exit out fresh before gameplay and the damage bar resets to zero.
Damage meterEdit
The damage meter is divided into different colors. At certain percentages, the meter changes color. The meter fills as more damage is received; the color will change from yellow to orange. Further damage will turn the damage meter to a darker shade orange, and it will begin to flash. The flashing warns the player of their damage level and that they should repair. Once enough damage is dealt, the meter turns bright red and flashes urgently to warn the player that they are on the verge of being Wasted.
Usually, the amount of damage a car can take (seen as Endurance in the car selection screen) is easily identified by looking at the size of the car. Nimi, for example, is very small, and cannot stand many hits from other "small" cars. Mighty Eight, while being larger, is a racing car. Racing cars aren't very durable, either. Waster cars (such as the ones in the Big 3) can Waste them in a few hits, if not one. M A S H E E N, on the other hand, has a special type of damage resistance. It does not take damage from hazards, or ramming from smaller cars. Instead, only immense levels of damage can damage M A S H E E N.
In Multiplayer, as custom cars can be modified to deal more damage, M A S H E E N can be easily dethroned. Smaller cars can also deal damage to M A S H E E N, albeit at a costly price. This most likely turns into a (failed) Kamikaze.
Taking DamageEdit
Damage is taken via the following methods:
- Colliding into other cars.
- Colliding into Hazards.
- Crashing into the wrong sides of a ramp.
- Improperly landing after stunting
- Colliding onto the walls (especially in a very fast velocity)
The damage meter's colorEdit
The damage meter changes its color depending on how high the damage meter is.
Translucent (0%) - No Damage
Yellow (1%-20%) - Low Damage
Yellow-Orange (21-40%) - Low to Moderate Damage
Orange (41-59%) - Moderate Damage
Flashing Orange (60-89%) - Moderate to High Damage
Flashing Red (90-100%) - Critical Damage
100% - Wasted
Sparks were implemented during the graphical update of Need For Madness Multiplayer. While not exactly an indicator of damage, they often fly out from the player's car (along with other players in the game and the AI) when rubbing/grinding against asphalt or metallic structures. (e.g. walls, railings, hazards) These indicate situations where it might be possible to gain damage.

I don't know if you've taken a look at the NMITSA IT Excellence Awards Finalists for 2007, but this year's nominees include some of the key people and organizations behind our media industries' continued growth. Eric Witt and the NM State Investment Council are among the nominees -- and we were also surprised and happy to see many key players in our local International Game Developers Association on the list (GPS/Abalone Studios, Sandia National Laboratories – (Adaptive Thinking and Leadership Simulation) and Novint are all recognized -- and I'm honored to be nominated as well).
While much of the concentration -- and success -- of the Media Industries Strategy Project has been with film making, working with the community represented by the New Mexico Information Technology & Software Association (NMITSA) is extremely important to our continued growth. While we can argue whether game play will become our society's dominant form of entertainment, having a feel for the game development process (which they share more with making and publishing software than with producing film). As forms of media converge their definitions blur, electronic games are still considered part of the software family, and share much of the software development process.
The importance -- or potential importance -- of Game Development was really brought home last Thursday night when we had a great talk from Radical Entertainment President Kelly Zmak at the IGDA membership kick-off meeting (many of the folks listed above were there, btw).
Talking on what it takes to build a viable & sustainable game industry in north America, many of his points were familiar to at least a few of us there in the audience; most are addressed in the Media Industries Strategic Plan.
We'll be posting more information on the Albuquerque IGDA site, but here are some quick highlights for now.
This was, to me, the through-line of his talk, drilling down on the importance of the following:
Talking through some of his personal experiences with each group or topic, the bottom line was that all of these must be present -- and working in concert -- to create the conditions for success.
As part of the "Talent Base" topic he highlighted the shared set of skills and interests of the following groups:
People working in each of these areas often have an interest in the others, and vice versa, and while not all the skills in a field may be transferable, having these kinds of people (and jobs) creates a bigger talent pool to draw from. Since New Mexico is already pretty strong in technology-related fields, and our capabilities in entertainment media are growing stronger, we have good basic conditions to take advantage of this convergence (but we still need to do more to build both personal and professional connections between these groups).
To me, this was the key point. Discussing Vancouver's 13 (16?) year journey to becoming one of North America's centers for media development (including 131 game production companies -- and a giant like EA), he noted that Vancouver had fewer specific strengths going for it when they started than New Mexico does now.
Taking the long view (and broadening the idea a bit) emphasizes the need to have students learning the tools they'll be working with as early as possible. As the length of time elementary school kids spend on games surpasses time spent watching movies and TV, we can use this to encourage a more active role for our youth, as participants and creators rather than as passive audience members. To mix metaphors a bit, including principles of digital literacy early is essential to having a sustainable industry.
There's more, of course, so one final note for the moment. Revenues for the digital entertainment industry are expected to double in the next three years, from $32B to $65B with the game sector leading the way. Choosing how we allocate our various resources will decide whether we share in that growth or not.

Life Lately: November Edition
Could it actually be the end of November already??? Where did the time go? That means Christmas and BUSY are right around the corner. Working in ministry, the end of year goes so quickly and gets so hectic. I'm savoring the last few days of November before the craziness of December rolls in.
Here is what happened in November according to my Instagram addiction:
Elementary-aged boys full of hot air + Raingutters full of water = Cub Scouts Rain Gutter Regatta: This is the Dude's second year to participate in his Pack's event. He had a wonderful time this year and actually won a few of his heats. Cub Scouts has been a great experience for him.
Hanging of the Green: After our church's Thanksgiving meal fellowship, some of us went over to start working on decorating the church for the Christmas season. I enjoy being a part of decorating the church, but I think what I enjoy most is watching the Dude grow up and participating. He and his friend X helped with decorating the trees. Such fun!
Turkeys on Turkey Day: Thanksgiving in Texas was wonderful and warm. We were blessed to have been able to visit with most of our family, especially one of the hubby's grandmas who recently moved here from Arkansas. Once the turkey haze started setting in, the Dude and I took to Instagram for a little photo fun. That's him being cool and me just being his mom.
Random Acts of Craftiness: My sweet momma's birthday is in November (Happy Birthday, Mo!), and this year she asked me to transform a vase for her. I'll be posting more about that later, but it sure was fun to get out some Mod Podge (best stuff ever) and pop in the cd of one of my favorite bands, Don't Wake Aislin (awesome people and awesome music), and just create something.
No Shave November: Ok so the Dude is a little young to participate in that, but doesn't he just look stachetastic?
Well that's our life lately. What's going on in your world?

In 2013-14, the R.I. Interscholastic League established a new initiative where students-athletes from schools across the state who represented Rhode Island at the New England Student Leadership Conference would have the opportunity to make application for a position on the RIIL Student Advisory Board (SAB). The purpose was to have these student-athletes serve as liaisons between the RIIL and the schools, have a voice and provide an invaluable resource to the League.

With a return-to-player ratio of a staggering 98%, the original Blood Suckers will always be one of the most popular NetEnt slots to date, and this sequel is set for the same gruesome stardom. Play Bloodsuckers 2 for free, here, and get a feel for this spookily good slot.
Coffins and daggers, blood and gore, Bloodsuckers 2 is every bit as gruesome yet glorious as the original slot. The back story revolves around a young vampire on a hunt for hidden treasure and alongside Bonus Shot Features and Scatter Shot Features, players can also embark on a bonus hunt- with a bonus game every bit as good as that of the classic.
Payout percentage: The theoretic payout percentage of Blood Suckers 2 is 96.94%.
Type of casino game: Video Slot.
Video Slot build: 5 reels, 3 rows and 25 fixed bet lines.
Game features: Blood Rose Free Spins, Wilds, Hidden Treasure Bonus Game, Scatter Shot and Bonus Shot.
With a 5 reel, 3 row layout, Bloodsuckers 2 will look very familiar for regular NetEnt players. It should be a user-friendly experience for most- with a centrally placed 'spin' button (lavishly decked in rubies in this instance), easy buttons to adapt both the bet level and coin value to customise your game player and, of course, an auto-play feature. We recommend you don't take your eyes off the screen though! Playing Blood Suckers 2 is a visually stunning experience- with a gothic backdrop, crossbow action, bonus rounds and, of course, the eternal undead.
Unlock the Blood Rose Free Spins feature by securing 3 (or more) Scatter Symbols anywhere across the five reels.
Securing the 3 or more Scatter symbols lands you 10 Blood Rose free spins and, if you're fortunate enough to land Scatter symbols within your Free Spins game, you'll be set to win coins.
As you might expect, only the highest Scatter win per spin will pay out. A deep red backdrop and thorny roses complete the graphics for the Blood Rose Free Spins feature.
The bonus game in Blood Suckers (the original) is one of the best of any slot and, best of all, it pops up frequently so players have plenty of opportunities to grab big winnings. The bonus game in Blood Suckers 2 is every bit as exciting and, thankfully, also shows up on a regular basis.
The bonus round is activated when you land 3 or more bonus symbols at any point on consecutive reels. If you're fortunate enough to have hit 4 bonus symbols rather than 3, your potential winnings will be even greater- double in fact! 5 symbols? You're looking at triple coin wins within the Hidden Treasure bonus game.
Just like the original game, the Hidden Treasure bonus game in Blood Suckers 2 is a pick and click affair and, during the 5 possible levels, players must select coffins and chests to reveal coin wins, scatter symbols or keys. If luck is not on your side, however, you might release a demon- nothing truly horrific will happen, of course, but your bonus game is over.
To hold player interest, Blood Suckers 2 incorporates several random features. The Scatter Shot feature- activated at random throughout the game (so you really can't predict when it might show up!) arrives when two Scatter Symbols appear. An additional Scatter Symbol will be awarded, 10 Blood Rose Free Spins will start, and any medium win symbols you land will be multiplied 10 to 100 times the bet level.
The Bonus Shot Feature (again, totally random!) awards an additional overlay bonus symbol on reels 1, 2 and 3. As with the Scatter Shot Feature, any wins you are fortunate enough to land will be awarded in addition to bet line wins.
The maximum default win on a single bet line in the main game in Blood Suckers 2 is €100,000 or 100,000 coins.
As with all new NetEnt slots, Blood Suckers 2 has been created as a NetEnt Touch game, ensuring that casino players have access to this gory slot from desktop, tablet and mobile. No matter whether players opt to play using their iOS or Android mobile casino devices, Blood Suckers 2 is completely compatible, so you can get your fix on the go.

DALLAS --R&B singer Erykah Badu is defending her controversial new music video.In the video, she strips off her clothes and pretends to get shot in the head not far from the spot where the fatal bullet struck President John F. Kennedy in 1963.
The video for her song "Window Seat" was filmed in Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas.
On Twitter, Badu said she would never disrespect President Kennedy. She says "performance art has been grossly misinterpreted by many."

|K.T. Myers (left) and Guy DiTorrice, both of Newport, search for agates and fossils
in a creek near Newport's Beverly Beach State Park. (Joe Hansen/Special to The Oregonian)
My notes: A good time was had by all as we all found a nice selection of goodies in just a couple of hours. I found a pocket full of jasper, petrified wood, fossils some agates and one sizable smooth sagenite agate specimen. It certainly was a beautiful sunny, warm 52 degrees and no breeze for our November stroll on the beach. You can see by my coat hanging from my back pack it was actually too warm for the long sleeves. Not a bad trip considering that the sand still needed to be swept out to sea by the winter storms. Maybe tomorrows south westerly storm will help to scour the sand away and expose some more gravel beds.

Receive instant notification of new columns: Register Now to receive notification of new HDTV Magazine Columns via email as soon as they are published.
If you purchased a Mitsubishi or Samsung DLP rear projection HDTV over the last 3 years, you might want to check your owners manual, spec sheet or back of the TV to confirm you are 3D ready. The fact is that many owners are unaware of the feature since it isn't the reason they bought it to begin with. From experience in the field, many are bound to unwittingly consider replacing it for a 3D ready display when they may not need to.
If you are one of the current 2 million 3D DLP owners, you are well over $1000 ahead of the 3D game, but may have to buy a 3D adapter from Mitsubishi, the 3DC-1000, which will accept the new Blu-ray 3D standard of 48 Hz and apply the checkerboard 3D processing (I'll go over that shortly). Mitsubishi has not provided a price at this time. There was no statement about accepting any potential broadcast 3D format which is understandable since that standard doesn't exist yet. Mitsubishi did throw out that compatible 3D Blu-ray players might show up. Throwing in the mod to support 2 million 3D ready HDTVs might be tempting for a manufacturer but nobody has said as much at this time. Notice I said 2 million. I see no reason why the Samsung DLPs won't be fully compatible since they use the same 3D standard as Mitsubishi.
There Is Another "But"…
This "but" refers to the checkerboard processing. DLP rear projection displays were, and for Mitsubishi continue to be, wobulated DLP displays (the mirror wobulation is a Hewlett Packard invention). DLP is a marketing name for what is technically called the DMD chip, that thing with millions of tiny mirrors you may have heard about. Texas Instruments, the DMD chip manufacturer, uses the marketing term SmoothPicture since the process makes it difficult to detect individual pixels (which also reduces the ability to fully resolve pixel detail). That means the DMD chip is half resolution, 960x1080, and a wobulation mirror runs at 120 Hz creating a full 1920x1080 response at 60 Hz. This reduces the cost of DLP product and appears to have been solely used for rear projection applications (there has never been a full 1920x1080 DMD chip in an RP DLP display). The ability to hide pixel structure also limits the clarity of a high resolution 1920 line response. The response exists, it can be seen, it has some contrast, but it is significantly different lacking the perfectly sharp individual pixel response and contrast level of a full resolution DMD chip.
If this is news to you don't let it bring you down. I still have one; many calibrators had or still have one along with many a videophile. Resolution isn't everything and just one of many facets to performance viewing. You have to do a lot of research and typically spend more money, at times way more money, to remove all warts. Topping it off, if you are like most folks, then you are sitting too far away to even see a 1920 response, making it real hard to suggest you are losing anything!
The cool thing is this technology easily dovetails into a 3D stereoscopic application except for one seemingly un-cool fact; the wobulation mirror does not run at 240 Hz which is required to provide full 1920x1080 resolution to each eye. On the surface that means these rear projection DLP products are 1920x1080 in 2D and 960x1080 in 3D. Just like 2D, the left and right eye images of 3D are split up in a half resolution checkerboard pattern that when combined by your brain (just like the old interlaced NTSC video) appears as a single 3D high resolution image. The huge difference is in 3D mode it throws away half the information for each eye. It would be easy to assume that you are getting half the performance but there is a solid argument against that.
The left and right eye images are actually part and parcel of the same image simply separated by the 3D encoding of angular information. What is being thrown away for one eye exists in the other and vice versa. When put together you arguably get one seamless image and no loss!
Clearly, tricking the brain is not the same thing as actually delivering 1920x1080 to each eye yet all DTV broadcast versions will be forced to use a similar system. During the 3D demo at the Mitsubishi booth it all appeared to look HD but I'll be the first to tell you that doesn't mean much because it's all a new experience for me and it will be a while before I know in the future what I didn't know then! I won't be convinced that I wasn't missing anything until there are 3D 1920x1080 resolution patterns to prove it. All that said it is more than reasonable to conclude that what I viewed didn't suffer anymore loss in performance than what you get in 2D mode from this technology. The performance hit for broadcast 3D may be quite similar in which case most will think it isn't any different at all!
There are three main points I want to leave you with.

Jazz Welcome Reception: 6:00pm — 10:00pm
Plan to be here for 6 pm on Thursday for our welcome party, the Jazz Reception kicks off the 2-Day French Quarter Weekend Conference to get you in tune with New Orleans and great food for the entire weekend!
Bourbon and Canal Street
TRUSTED IDENTITY: Faith in a Technology World
IT Pro Conference 2012 will explore not only the new products and technologies we use today, but the vision of how providing IT consulting in the future is moving well beyond product knowledge of functionality. We are all becoming a firewall against faith as the only thing protecting a TRUSTED IDENTITY. Or maybe we are not, maybe the protection is already gone. Maybe we are only responsible to fix what is left.
Our 2-day conference provides a chance to step back from the daily pace and look at what everyone is thinking, but not necessarily saying they are thinking. We put group of people on stage to lead a discussion, and the audience is immediately part of what informs the direction from there.
The Experience Event - Combine the technology experience with a blend of the New Orleans experience in food, music, and entertainment plus days of outstanding peer discussion. Now you have an Executive Conference affordable for small and medium SMB Partners that can only happen in New Orleans! An extraordinarily valuable and entertaining professional networking event by day, evolves into live music every night, great entertainment and that unbelievable New Orleans food experience!
Montego Bay, Jamaica
Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands
Cozumel, Mexico
Our round trip from New Orleans to Jamaica, Grand Cayman and Cozumel needs no promotion, you probably made up your mind with no guidance.
Of course, some people are stuborn to see the value in spending a week with the people in the SMB industry who can easily justify why a week of discussion, socializing, and networking with people who are at this level get the idea, totally. Not everyone is ready for a week away from work or home, or a week at sea with friends. If your business needs attention daily and you need to be there, you are not ready to take on the Cruise Conference. But if you think you want the next opportunity where this is the learning experience you need, this is why we planned it for you.
Some would say this conference is entirely about the food and music, and to that we respond with a smile. This conference is entirely about providing you with a conference experience you will find unforgettable. For that reason, we try to make the events of learning and spending time with your peers about enjoying more than the mechanics. You come to New Orleans, you should expect the food to be a feature, not a break. We bring music and entertainment into the path of the weekend, you can't avoid it.
The IT Pro Conference has been quirkishly described as 'the best party with a conference theme". We don't try to explain that, but we do run a really fine conference, and the music and entertainment is never held back. We know our content remains the main feature, but we give it a good run to stay ahead of the celebration bits. Take a look for yourself, then decide.
SMB focused resellers, consultants, and technology partners
Once again, look for Microsoft MVPs, community leaders and industry experts are delivering IT strategies in first hand discussions, the "voice of experience" among an outstanding expert lineup.
We will begin to announce our sponsors for 2012 soon, but you should expect the same high quality participation and engagement as we offered in 2007, 2008 & 2010. Take a look at our sponsors from last May:
Our Luxury Business Class Hotel is in French Quarter, corner of Canal & Bourbon Streets
Conference rate room is $139/night
Over 20 world class New Orleans restaurants within just blocks

My B'day is coming up. 🙂
What more can I ask for than flattering myself with a poem (written by me of course 😛 )
The final chapter of childhood unfolds,
as I walk into the future thats never been told.
My last year of kiddish-ness, my last year of freedom,
The last year I cant be liable for what crap I have done.
It's been fun to still be a juvenile,
Although I've been etching to grow up all this while
To become an adult, to grow up is all I wanted to do,
As I realise now that childhood is fun too.
Voting, driving, boozing are a year away,
So are "hard-work" and "responsibilty" also in the fray
I've almost exitted the era of fun.
But heck, I'm not an adult yet, just give me this one 😀
(wierd poem I know, but makes me feel good about myelf 😉 )

Discover everything you need to know about cloud hosting including what cloud hosting is, how cloud hosting works, and why you should use cloud hosting!
What is Cloud Computing: Cloud Hosting Explained
Cloud hosting is the newest form of web hosting that has become popular and widely used over the past few years. Cloud hosting is a type of web hosting that works on virtual servers that pull their resources and power from extensive networks of physical servers.
The concept of cloud hosting is actually pretty simple as they follow the rules – divide and rule. What does this mean exactly?
The resources needed for maintaining and controlling a certain website are spread across more than one server and they are used when there is a need for them to be used.
How Cloud Hosting Actually Works?
As we mentioned before, each web server in the cloud assists in carrying out specific tasks. If for example some of these servers fail to accomplish the set of tasks, another web server or a group of servers automatically kick-in to offer support and back-up to the cloud.
The Difference between Cloud Hosting and Dedicated Hosting
In order to understand cloud hosting better, we are going to present you the difference between cloud hosting and dedicated hosting.
The reliability is usually the first factor that differentiates these two types of hosting. With the cloud hosting you have several web servers at your service as opposed to the one dedicated server. This means that cloud hosting is more reliable and efficient than the dedicated server.
When it comes to the price, the costs related to cloud architecture and cloud computing many be higher when compared to the dedicated hosting. However, if you are a big corporation the price is not going to be an important factor for you.
The Future of Cloud Hosting – What Can We Expect
There is no doubt that cloud computing has come a long way. There are several large corporations that are already using this type of hosting and they are more than satisfied. For the small business owners, the price could be the biggest problem, but if you manage to overcome your budget limits, we recommend you to use the cloud hosting as well.
Many businesses have already made an investment by choosing cloud hosting! It is time for you to do that investment as well!

April 14th, 2018
Anyone that knows us knows that we are huge Gary Stewart fans at Delmore HQ.

August 10th, 2016
The plan was simple: A cherry picker would set up at the far end of main street, where the L&N Railroad line crossed Kingston Springs' main thoroughfare. The cameraman would be hoisted by the cherry picker, rented from a Nashville tree service, thirty feet above the street. From the other end of the street, the citizens of Kingston Springs would march behind Vince, armed with his guitar, while they all sang in unison to the chorus of God Save Kingston Springs..."Detroit is damned, Chicago's gone,…

Kris Kristofferson's triumphant return to the Newport Folk Festival last weekend inspired us to share this recently discovered photo from Melva's archive. Kris and Vince hitchhiked together to Newport in '69 at the invitation of Johnny Cash. Cash had recently recorded Vince's song 'Wrinkled Crinkled Wadded Dollar Bill", and famously asked Kris to play a few tunes during his set that year.

Programs 2
It always looks easier from below.
95 km north of Chiang Mai near the spring of the mighty Mae Ping River we enter clear water under the lush canopy, the creek like features of the river allow us to play the small currents as we drift south. Nature here largely undisturbed with occasional farming , draws us back here whenever we get a chance. 4 hrs of forest river kayaking takes us to the quiet and comfortable Pingkhong Homestay at the riverside. Comfortable beds and a good breakfast guarantees us a great 2nd day of kayaking through the Chiang Dao Jungle. This area, accessible only at lower water levels, still rewards us with lush vegetation creating navigational challenges as we drift south towards the Chiang Dao Valley. In short, this is our favorite in the drier seasons and a true jewel in the crown of river adventures in Northern Thailand.
When: Day 1 8:00 am – 5:30 pm. Day 2 – 2:30 pm Available: All year rain or shine Trip: Day 1: Northern Chiang Dao Forest , farmland Day 2: Chiang Dao Jungle River condition : class 1+ Distance/Time : Day 1 = 18 km Day 2 = 15 km Previous kayaking experience helpful

Please consider the following Adaptive Reuse Projects submitted in this year's AIA Eastern Oklahoma Design Excellence Awards. The link to vote for your favorite can be found at the bottom of this page.
Project: 8:10 Building | Architect: Cyntergy
Photography By: Jon B. Petersen
Interior and exterior materials create an inviting and comfortable atmosphere. In order to create a more centralized work environment, areas such as the breakroom and plot room were placed adjacent to the open stair created between floors. The large windows spanning all four exterior walls serve as a driving factor for the vision of the tenant build out. Circulation was placed in the middle of the building in order to allow natural light to deeply filter. A large boardroom placed prominently off of the entry incorporates glass doors and becomes the focal point for the lobby.
Project: Broken Arrow Public Schools Oak Crest Elementary School Renovation and Addition | Architect: GH2 Architects, LLC
Photography By: Yellow Dog Design Works: Susan Rainey
Originally built in 1964, Oak Crest had six subsequent additions encompassing five individual structures that lacked a cohesive connection, ADA accessibility, contemporary finishes and lack of growth potential for the student population. The renovation and addition of Oak Crest allows the elementary school to be used more effectively and efficiently, while the open design provides room to grow and plenty of natural light. With stunning "before-and-after" comparison images, the renovation included new finishes, addressed accessibility, and upgraded the mechanical and lighting systems. Added spaces include a new lobby and office, media center, music and art rooms, and upgraded toilet facilities.
Project: Fire Station No. 8 | Architect: James Boswell
Photography By: Ralph Cole Photography
The Renovation & addition of Fire Station No. 8 has received positive support and admiration from the public and professional Community. It exemplifies the firm's commitment to adaptive reuse and modernization of old & historic, unreplaceable buildings.
Project: Gates Hardware Building | Architect: KSQ Design
Photography By: Melissa Lukenbaugh
The historic Gates Hardware building in downtown Tulsa was renovated and adapted to become a 28,000 square-foot mixed-use space with a microbrew pub and jazz club on street level and a design firm and graphic design firm sharing 14,000 square-foot of open studio space paying homage to the building's hardware roots.
Project: Green Country Rehab | Architect: W Design
Photography By: Ben Chau
Green Country Rehab clinic celebrates the history of the three structures in their new home.
Project: University of Arkansas Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity | Architect: Cyntergy
Photography By: Jon B. Petersen
The Pi Kappa Alpha Alpha Zeta chapter at the University of Arkansas commissioned an 8,000 square foot addition and renovation to the historic PKA house. The building provided a unique challenge with the addition of a second floor, and the modern structure was studied in-depth in order to provide a design that would both compliment the style and improve the functionality and durability also. The original building was designed by John G. Williams, the first dean of the University of Arkansas School Of Architecture. Adding a second floor to this 1950s Modern structure was a delicate challenge.

DECEMBER 18, 2012 - A new article by Georgetown University nursing alumnae and faculty members examines the role faculty members can play to support students who are under stress.
The piece, "Perceived Stress and Social Support in Undergraduate Nursing Students' Educational Experiences," appeared online Dec. 13 in Nurse Education Today.
Authors from the School of Nursing & Health Studies include Kristen L. Reeve (NHS'12), RN, Catherine J. Shumaker (NHS'12), RN, Edilma L. Yearwood, PhD, PMHCNS, BC, FAAN, associate professor of nursing, Joan Burggraf Riley (NHS'76, G'97), MS, MSN, FNP-BC, FAAN, assistant professor of human science and nursing, and Nancy Crowell, PhD.
High Levels of Stress
"Nursing students experience high levels of stress," the authors write. "As senior level traditional nursing students and their faculty, we are aware of the extremely high level of stress students experience and the diversity of responses used to cope with stress. We are concerned about how the stress experience of undergraduates will impact their future careers as nurses."
The authors set out to identify the stress experience among baccalaureate nursing students at a private university, as well as understand their usage of social support to cope. Study participants included 107 traditional and second degree students.
Study participants reported high levels of anxiety, worry, and depression in response to stress, which resulted in feelings of rejection and inadequacy. They also were less likely to use faculty for support as opposed to reliance on peers and family members.
"Second degree students and traditional students differ in their level of alcohol consumption with traditional students more likely to drink heavily than second degree students," they found. "In addition, traditional students are more likely to use fellow nursing students and other friends as social support, whereas second degree students rely more on their spouse/significant other."
Potential Impact
The authors concluded that faculty members have a significant role to play in helping students.
"Students' high levels of maladaptive reactions to stress should encourage educators to help students develop positive coping strategies," they write. "Educators have the potential to impact the development of their students as they transition into nurses capable of handling the rigors of the profession."
Prior to their graduation in May, Reeve and Shumaker – working under the mentorship of Riley and Yearwood – won second place for their related research poster, "Perceived Stress and Social Support in Undergraduate Nursing Students," at the International Society of Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurses conference, held March 27-31, in Atlanta.
The alumnae, who as students participated in the Georgetown Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (GUROP), were the only undergraduates presenting at that poster session.

Republicans disagree on 2006 budget package, delay vote
The House postponed a vote Thursday on a 2006 budget reconciliation package that contains measures affecting nursing homes and residents.Republicans failed to come to agreement on the package, even after they dropped a measure that would allow oil drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. The bill would save $53.9 billion over five years, including nearly $11 billion in Medicaid cuts. Democrats are united against the plan.
Among other measures, the bill would make it more difficult for residents to qualify for Medicaid for long-term care. It would extend the asset transfer look-back period to five years and change the date of penalty for improper transfers to the date of entry into long-term care. It would also require the disclosure of annuities and asset transfers of more than $100,000. Home equity of $500,000 and more would be counted against Medicaid eligibility, according to the bill.
