Well, apologies to Ben Franklin, but it's clear that not all early-risers are "wise."
Please, Ricky, allow us more "crickets."

It really irks the Republicans when the Democrats do more for real security and to bring criminals to justice than they do. Rhetoric is cheap. Action is real.

I really don't know how anyone can argue we are in a worse place now versus when Obama took office, his team has produced results on a number of fronts, all the metrics show improvement. The challenge for Ricksaw and the like is to now stop throwing stones and articulate YOUR message. In my business world we are best in class because we don't spend ANY time bashing the competition, instead we talk about what we do best and let the customer do the research. Works every time, so Rickshaw, move on, and tell us what you and your like will do to make our lives better.

The computers affected are a combination of laptops & pcs of different brands, all running windows vista, on a combination of IE7, IE8 and Firefox 3.
Any suggestions?

People are still so angry/volatile over MDA.
He's gone.
To think that Woodson helped MDA with the defense, but that nothing MDA did helped Woodson I think is a bit naive.
But he's gone now.
Can't we just enjoy this team without bickering over an old coach?
I'm sure some person on here is willing to argue about JVG or Lenny Wilkens if I brought either of them up.

Extraordinary visions compel exceptional architects, constructors, and superintendents. Presidential visions of Lincoln to mend a nation divided, Wilson for a League of Nations, Eisenhower to construct our Interstate Highway system, Kennedy to reach the Moon, and Reagan to reduce nuclear arsenals and end the Cold War with the Soviet Union required and benefited from exceptional subordinates.
A grand vision absent intrepid and indomitable teamwork is but a pretentious hallucination, as we are seeing with President Obama's aspiration to advance high speed trains and extend passenger rail opportunities throughout the nation.
Obama handed the baton to his then-Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood, who The Wall Street Journal said had "no particular qualifications for the job," notwithstanding LaHood having been a member of the House Transportation & Infrastructure Committee during much of his 14-year tenure as an Illinois Republican congressman from Peoria.
There were, of course, other credible candidates for the post, but Obama chose LaHood, a fellow Illinois politician who, while a Republican, had a big-spender reputation in Congress. From the get-go, LaHood caused eyes to roll, championing bicycles over automobiles ("This is the end of favoring motorized transportation at the expense of non-motorized," he said, creating a sarcastic "pedal parity" marque); and then by sending Toyota stock-share prices tumbling by advising, following a Camry recall, that Toyota owners to "stop driving" (a comment he later sought to retract).
It was LaHood's shambling superintending of Obama's high speed rail vision that most defines his tenure as the nation's 16th transportation secretary. The bumbling helped to slow considerably, if not derail, Obama's vision: "Within 25 years, our goal is to give 80% of Americans access to high speed rail, which could allow you go places in half the time it takes to travel by car. For some trips, it will be faster than flying — without the pat-down. As we speak, routes in California and the Midwest are already under way."
In fact, LaHood failed to explore with the governors of Florida, Ohio, and Wisconsin the details of the Obama vision -- if there were, in fact, any details besides LaHood having dominion over $8 billion of taxpayer funds earmarked for high speed rail. In short order, the three governors embarrassed the White House by announcing they wanted not a penny of the money, as they saw no positive result in their already cash-strapped states of such federal spending, which was but pennies on the dollar of what high speed rail would actually cost to build and require in future operating subsidies, with further questions whether it would, in fact, be high speed.
LaHood went on to sprinkle billions more, accompanied by glowing press-release rhetoric -- "a strategy better suited to currying political support than addressing real infrastructure needs," said Slate magazine — and delivering scant results other than something far less than high speed rail in Illinois, where a project will increase Amtrak average speeds between Chicago and St. Louis from 53 mph to 63 mph.
California, where LaHood counted 55 electoral votes up for grab in the 2012 presidential election, received $3.2 billion for a proposed high speed rail project now on life support. Amtrak's Northeast Corridor, already America's fastest rail speedway, received the bum's rush from LaHood.
Should we expect better from transportation secretaries? Yes, we should. Although there has been ineptitude in the past, there have been secretaries displaying a combination of aggressiveness and effectiveness that advanced a White House agenda to the applause of history.
President Johnson looked to Undersecretary of Commerce for Transportation Alan Boyd to erect the scaffolding creating the DOT, and then named Boyd its first secretary. Boyd's credentials were notable. As a member of the Florida Railroad & Public Utilities Commission, Boyd explored the effects of economic regulation in that state, leading him to conclude there should be a greater reliance on competitive market forces in the setting of rates and service levels. As a congressman, he warned that if profit-squeezed freight railroads were not allowed out of the passenger business, the passenger train "may take its place in a transportation museum along with the stagecoach and steam locomotive." Later was born Amtrak. As transportation secretary, Boyd administered the nation's first high-speed ground transportation program, and later became Amtrak's third president.
President Carter entered office with a vision of eliminating burdensome economic regulation and subjecting all modes of transportation more to market forces. Carter's secretary of transportation, Brock Adams, a former Democratic congressman from Washington state, endorsed a private enterprise solution for railroad financial problems, becoming co-author of the Regional Rail Reorganization (3-R) Act that directed a massive federal seizure and reorganization of the Northeast's bankrupt railroads, and creation of the U.S. Railway Association (the genesis of federally owned Conrail and its eventual return to private ownership).
As transportation secretary, Adams' support for rail mergers, easing of requirements for abandoning unprofitable lines and greater reliance on market forces helped to contruct the path toward passage of the Staggers Rail Act. As for Amtrak, Adams fretted that Congress' addition of so-called political trains following creation of Amtrak had caused Amtrak's per passenger deficit to almost triple, and recommended, in an effort to preserve Amtrak, scaling back the route structure by 43% (with Congress agreeing to a 14% reduction).
Obama chose as LaHood's successor the mayor of Charlotte, N.C., Anthony Foxx, whose knowledge of railroads is mostly an empty slate. In a recent test, as reported by Politico, Foxx chaired a meeting with the Association of American Railroads and the American Petroleum Institute (API) to discuss tank-car safety improvements to make the transport of crude oil by rail safer. The Railway Supply Institute, whose members build and retrofit tank cars, complained it had been excluded from the meeting -- that "its request to attend the meeting was denied by DOT" -- while the API disputed Foxx's public characterization of what took place at the closed meeting.
In a prepared statement following Obama's State of the Union speech, Foxx, as had Obama, declined to mention high speed rail or Amtrak, saying only he would be "working thorough the year from the federal to the local level to build more infrastructure while growing jobs now and making more jobs possible with first-rate transportation networks." He provided no details.
Could Obama have chosen a more qualified transportation secretary to succeed the problematic LaHood?
Notwithstanding his ability to test sorely the attention of the most patient Catholic priest with his discursive oratory, former House Transportation & Infrastructure Committee Chairman Jim Oberstar (D-Minn.), now departed from Congress, has a most extensive and encyclopedic understanding of aviation, highway, rail and transit issues. Alternating as the committee's chairman, and senior Democrat when Republicans were in control, Oberstar's ability to reach across the aisle to create bipartisan alliances is legendary. In concert with former Republican Transportation & Infrastructure Committee Chairman Bud Shuster (R-Pa.), Oberstar supervised the writing of surface transportation authorization with minimal partisan bickering.
Also available to succeed LaHood was now retired nine-term Republican Congressman Steve LaTourette of Ohio (recall LaHood is a Republican), who chaired the House Rail Subcommittee, has been a supporter of high-speed rail, Amtrak funding and positive-train control. When he departed Congress, LaTourette's name briefly surfaced as a candidate for the top lobbying job at the Association of American Railroads (since filled). However, his confirmation by the Senate may have been problematic, as LaTourette was a vocal critic of Tea Party Republicans; and, in 2005, he criticized the Bush administration's appointees to the Amtrak board, which fired former Amtrak President David Gunn. LaTourette also questioned whether that Bush-nominated board was legally constituted. Nonetheless, LaTourette's qualifications for the job are plentiful.
Trains will continue to run, transit will continue to operate, highways will continue to be built, and the Air Traffic Control System will continue to function under Secretary Foxx, as they did under Secretary LaHood. A president, as a baseball general manager, fields the team he considers the most effective to carry out his agenda. In the end, the criticisms — as does the "buck" — stop at the president's desk.
Case in point is Bill Clinton. His 1994 budget proposal recommended an Amtrak appropriation three times that recommended by George H.W. Bush. But his 1996 budget proposed a 23% cut in that budget. Flip, flop. Clinton's transportation secretary those years was Federico Pena, a former mayor of Denver, who had been a transportation adviser to the Clinton presidential run and who lopped 11,000 jobs from DOT after being named transportation secretary. Pena was Obama's national campaign co-chair prior to Obama's 2008 election.
And that's the way it is in Washington, D.C. Go figure. It's the nation's capital's most popular pastime.

Hamels Drama
It seems the name Cole Hamels and the word 'drama' have slowly become best friends. Controversy follows him wherever he goes. From sounding off about the Mets being "choak artists" to his African baby adoption aspirations, we never run out of things to talk about. Yesterday, at Phillies practice in Clearwater, many wondered why Cole was not on the field. As it turns out, Hamels had left practice early on Saturday and was absent all day Sunday. Ruben Amaro Jr. told me, "Cole had some personal issues to take care of. But don't worry, he'll be back tomorrow." Well, tomorrow is today and we shall see if he is there. I will give an update on that later.
I also spoke with Charlie Manuel about Chase Utley. Asking if Utley would be ready for Opening Day, Manuel responded, "Yeah, he'll be ready." So there you go; straight from the horses mouth. Utley followed the same routine on Sunday as he did on Saturday, still not taking swings during BP, but I understand he has been swinging inside the complex in the cages. Utley was left out of the frontwards / backwards around the bases drills, but did everything else. Good thing too, because Shane Victorino and batting coach, Milt Thompson got into it during the run which ended in Victorino nearly knocking Thompson to the ground by sticking his foot in the path of Thompson's feet. Everyone had a nice laugh over it. Boys will be boys.
I also listened to Charlie respond to a fan who thanked him for being a "good guy." Manuel, it seems, does not like the term. In his thick southern drawl, Manuel said, "Hey, don't start with me with that 'good guy' stuff; I don't like that stuff. I'm serious, if they was giving out awards for some 'good guy' thing, well, I don't want no part of that." Apparently, he'd prefer to be known as a winner. Mission accomplished.

Diabetes Health Professionals
Diabetes Health ProfessionalsSkip to the navigation
Topic Overview
Diabetes is a complex, chronic disease that affects many body systems and requires treatment for the rest of your life. Because diabetes affects so many parts of your body, it has the potential to involve many medical specialists.
You have a lot to learn about both your disease and how best to manage it. But you do not have to go through this process alone. Health professionals can help you make good choices about your diabetes treatment. Working with a team, you can make the lifestyle changes that allow you greater control over the disease and how it develops over time.
The following table provides information about the health professionals who may be involved in your care. You need to see some of these professionals regularly. Others you may see only occasionally or if you develop complications.
What is their role?
When would you see them?
|Nurse educator
Educates people and helps them take control
Often coordinates treatment
After diagnosis, to learn about diabetes and the daily treatment (for example, how to give an insulin injection)
As needed, when daily treatment needs adjusting
|Primary care physician:
Other health professionals that may serve as primary care coordinators:
May serve as diabetes care coordinator and is responsible for the day-to-day medical management of diabetes
Nurse practitioners or physician assistants may also serve as care coordinators.
|Regular visits (2 to 4 times a year)
Endocrinologist or pediatric endocrinologist
Specialty medical care (may coordinate care as well)
Sometimes regular visits, or as treatment problems come up
|Other specialists
Provide specialty care for specific problems
Ophthalmologists and podiatrists provide preventive eye and foot care, which helps prevent those specific complications.
For evaluation, or when a problem develops.
|Registered dietitian
Educates people and helps them set up and follow their daily meal plan
Whenever diet and self-management need explaining
|Exercise physiologist
Educates people and helps them develop an appropriate exercise program for their fitness level
Initial visit and periodic consultations as needed
|Mental health professionals
Helps people manage stress and cope with emotional problems, such as depression, that may develop
Regularly (perhaps weekly), for as long as psychological symptoms go on
At a minimum, you need to see a doctor, a nurse educator, and a dietitian. At health care facilities that specialize in treating diabetes, you may have a team of all the above professionals and also a pharmacist to help you.

By Frederick J. Brigham and Michele M. Brigham
Have you noticed how regular visits to the physician or dentist always start with a rundown of the same information? There's a very good reason for this.
A few simple and easily measured attributes can signal changes in the general state of the individual's physical or dental health. Everyone who comes in for an appointment gets a screening, but only those who show indications of other problems get diagnoses and intensive treatment.
The same logic applies to the increasingly popular program called Response to Intervention, or RTI. The fundamental idea is that, by screening every child regularly on simple performance indicators that are critically related to important curricular outcomes, we can catch students who are showing signs of difficulty and provide them with modest levels of support before their instructional problems become insurmountable.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2018
England in the 11th century wave of migration that was set off by the Norman Conquest of 1066. The Willfarde family lived in Nottinghamshire, at Wilford. This placename is derived from the name Norman-French name Will, a pet form of William and the word ford, meaning a river crossing, and indicates that the ford in question belonged to William.
Willfarde Early Origins
Nottinghamshire at Wilford (also known as Wilfrids Ford) a parish and village in the union of Basford, in the north division of the wapentake of Rushcliffe. The village dates back to at least the Domesday Book when it was listed as Wilesford [1]CITATION[CLOSE]
Williams, Dr Ann. And G.H. Martin, Eds., Domesday Book A Complete Translation. London: Penguin, 1992. Print. (ISBN 0-141-00523-8) and literally meant "willow-tree ford," from the Old English words "wilig" + "ford." [2]CITATION[CLOSE]
Mills, A.D., Dictionary of English Place-Names. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1991. Print. (ISBN 0-19-869156-4) At that time, the land was held William Peverel, a Norman Baron, who was granted the fishery in the district of Clifton. Wilford House was built by Henry Smith, Esq. in 1828.

Willfarde Spelling Variations
Willfarde Spelling Variations
Spelling variations in names were a common occurrence in the eras before English spelling was standardized a few hundred years ago. In the Middle Ages, even the literate regularly changed the spellings of their names as the English language incorporated elements of French, Latin, and other European languages. Many variations of the name Willfarde have been found, including Wilfoord, Williford, Wilfort, Wilford and others.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
For many English families, the social climate in England was oppressive and lacked opportunity for change. For such families, the shores of Ireland, Australia, and the New World beckoned. They left their homeland at great expense in ships that were overcrowded and full of disease. Many arrived after the long voyage sick, starving, and without a penny. But even those were greeted with greater opportunity than they could have experienced back home. Numerous English settlers who arrived in the United States and Canada at this time went on to make important contributions to the developing cultures of those countries. Many of those families went on to make significant contributions to the rapidly developing colonies in which they settled. Early North American records indicate many people bearing the name Willfarde were among those contributors: Joseph and Hannah Wilford arrived in New England in 1766; Eleanor Wilford and her husband arrived in Maryland in 1733. Joh Wilfort arrived in Philadelphia in 1849..

text: Submitted by Brennan on Fri, 2013-10-18 09:16 Greater Yellowstone Area The Front Porch Vote Up Down +480 + landscape.jpg Fall is my favorite season in Yellowstone Country. The crowds thin out, the colors change, the fishing picks up and the wildlife comes out in full force. Nothing says "autumn" to me like swinging flies on the Madison in the park. The past few weeks have thrown off my calendar, though — the park has been closed, and these signs were everywhere. no_fishing.jpg West Yellowstone was a ghost town — it was like the season ended six weeks early. Every few hours I checked the news to see if a deal had been struck — mostly I saw news about how the shutdown was affecting americans across the country. With a deal struck on Tuesday, I knew I'd be in the park on Wednesday. I'd get in there and have at those fish that hadn't seen a fly in over two weeks. I packed up my TFO switch rod, a few soft hackles and some tippet, and jumped in the car as soon as the temperature broke freezing. Swinging flies at the end of the season is relaxing — after a year of tricky casts, tough mends and difficult drifts, it's nice to fall into simple rhythm — cast, mend, look at the scenery, take three steps and repeat. It's meditative. In between casts I thought about how the shutdown affected people around the country and how it shut down plenty of important projects from Vermont to Virginia to my own backyard. I may not have missed paychecks, I didn't have to worry about feeding my family, but I was locked out of a landscape that has worked its way into the very fiber of my existence. I was locked out of my favorite place on earth. I was locked out of my playground, my church. Suddenly the line went tight, and with the splash of a golden tail a big brown turned and ran downstream, pulling drag with him. He fought hard, had multiple drag-peeling runs and tried to wrap the line around my feet before I brought him to hand, snapped a quick photo, and sent him, full of life, back into the stream. brown_closeup_swing.jpg It was finally over — the shutdown, the waiting — it was fall and I was catching beautiful, colored-up browns in the park. It was time to get back to the important things — protecting the trout we love and the places they live, enjoying these places with our family, and perhaps most importantly, we can get back to fishing the places that calm and soothe our souls.

FAYETTEVILLE — It was a simple question, but Arkansas defensive end Chris Smith couldn't come up with a concrete answer Tuesday.
Sure, he has heard teammate D.D. Jones jawing with offensive players plenty the past couple of seasons. He has laughed at some of the exchanges, too. But when asked to pinpoint one specific example after practice, Smith drew a blank.
"D.D. says so much stuff, man. I can't even remember," Smith said.
It was a perfect response. That, in a nutshell, explains Jones. The vocal senior's mouth never seems to stop running when he's on the field.

text: fedthechamp out of Fruitland, Idaho Worst seller experience I have had on this site. After multiple emails and phone calls I was dumb enough to believe this guys lies. He convinced me to do something I would normally never do, which was to except a partial payment before shipping and the remainder of the payment upon arrival. I trusted him enough to do this but I have now learned my lesson. After the first payment I immediately shipped several items usps parcel post (which is the usps slowest option because I was providing free shipping), I was told it would get there in a week and a half. Unfortunately it took an additional week to arrive. For this in convince, he felt I was no long entitled to the remainder of the payment he promised to pay. This was his idea, I should have said no but I put trust in him... People like this continue my dying faith in people especially online and I recommend to not do business with this guy!

CITY – In a move that should provide relief to Ocean City recreational anglers
and charter boat captains, federal officials announced last week the black sea
bass season for 2010 will be extended by as many as 90 days, re-establishing a
late fall, early winter fishery abruptly closed without warning in 2009.
sea bass, one of the most important recreational fisheries for Ocean City and
the entire east coast, was closed without warning in October when federal
fisheries management officials determined the east coast-wide quota for 2009
had been surpassed. The sudden closure came in the midst of what is typically a
robust fall fishing season in the resort and other communities up and down the
east coast, causing undue hardship for those on the front lines of the industry
and a considerable trickle-down for businesses in the area associated with
closure implemented for a minimum of six months, taking the start date for the
2010 black sea bass season up to next week, May 22, with an anticipated closure
date again of mid-September. However, the federal Atlantic States Marine
Fisheries Commission (ASMFC) voted unanimously to allow individual states to
extend the 2010 black sea bass season in state waters by an additional 90 days.
As a
result, the proposed new season for 2010 will run from May 22 through October
11, close for a few weeks, and re-open for a period extending from November 1
to December 31. Maryland fisheries officials will have to sign off on the
proposed changes, but with the quota numbers from 2009 under increased
scrutiny, along with pressure from the recreational and charter sector, it
appears the state will not stand in the way of an extended black sea bass
season this year.
to a release issued this week by ASMFC, "the season was further expanded into
November and December to allow for increased access by party/charter boats and
private boat and shore-based anglers that did not have a late fall or early
winter season last year."
to the release, when the original season was developed, the ASMFC board only
had 2009 harvest estimates for January through June of last year. Harvest
estimates for July through December 2009 were projected using previous years'
data to calculate a total harvest estimate for black seas bass in 2009.
when the final 2009 harvest numbers were made available at the end of April,
the came in considerably lower than what was previously projected, allowing for
a longer late fall and early winter season this year. While local anglers and
captains were relieved this week the federal fisheries management agency agreed
to restore the all-important fall and winter season this year, they were still
seething somewhat over the flawed data collection that cost them fall and
winter season last fall.
is good news," said Captain Monty Hawkins of the "Morning Star" and fishing
rights advocate. "We have fought our way back from a two-month season to maybe
as many as eight."
week's season extension by ASMFC comes on the heels of a quota increase for
2010 implemented for black sea bass in February. National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Association (NOAA) fisheries service officials announced in
February they had taken emergency action to increase the black sea bass quota
for 2010 by as much as 61 percent after they determined their data collection
system was 2009 was flawed.
As a
result, the commercial quota for black sea bass for 2010 will increase from
1.09 million pounds to 1.76 million pounds, while the recreational harvest
limit will increase from 1.14 million pounds to 1.83 million pounds, restoring
quota levels for a main staple in the resort area's fishery to levels not seen
since 2008.
the season has ostensibly been extended and the quota increased, existing
minimum size and bag limits will remain in place when the season reopens next
week. Current regulations set the minimum keeper size at 12.5 inches and the
bag limit at 25 fish per angler.

Southern California Coastal & Inland Valleys
July, 2006
Regional Report
Keep Tomatoes Watered
Tomatoes and other large plants in loamy clay soil use about 1 inch of water in three days of hot dry weather. This means checking the soil frequently and watering when the top couple of inches are dry.
Pamper Melons
Water and fertilize melons deeply once a week for juicy, fleshy fruits. Hold off irrigating melons about a week before they will ripen so their sugars will concentrate.
Paint Tree Trunks
To prevent sunscald, especially on younger trees, paint the trunks with a coat of light-colored interior latex paint.
Cut Back Bloomers
Encourage repeat blooming by pinching or cutting back alyssum, coreopsis, crape myrtles, dahlias, delphiniums, dianthus, fuchsias, gaillardias, lobelia, marigolds, penstemons, petunias, rose of Sharon, salvias, and verbenas. Prune chrysanthemums and poinsettias for the last time to encourage them to bush out and keep the stems from becoming scraggly by autumn -- unless you prefer a droopy or curly-stemmed display.
Water and Fertilize Regularly
Continue watering and feeding the entire garden with a balanced fertilizer and manure tea or fish emulsion every other week or so for steady growth and food production. Foliar sprays of liquid seaweed help trees, vegetables, fruits, and ornamentals withstand heat stress. Pay special attention to shallow-rooted plants, which wilt and dry out quickly in hot, dry weather. Avoid overhead watering late in the day during warm weather, when leaves can't dry off by sunset, as this encourages diseases.

BERLIN – Berlin will play host to the beginning and end of the renewed Viewtrail Century Bike event this June, first held six years ago and now due to be revived.
"We're looking to bring that back," said fitness event organizer Chris Klebe.
The 100-mile bike event will be part of a three event weekend including the Assateague Assault sprint triathlon and the Ocean City 5 kilometer run, all during the weekend of June 19.
Klebe received permission from the Berlin Mayor and Council Monday night to use Stephen Decatur Park as the start line and finish destination for the Viewtrail Century bike event, which is expected to attract up to 200 cyclists.
Unlike the Seagull Century bike event, the Viewtrail Century course will not use Berlin's main roads, which will keep cyclists out of town traffic.
Instead, the Viewtrail Century course will wind away from Stephen Decatur Park past Worcester Prep and onto the county's back roads.
Klebe said he is also working to draw participants in the Assateague Assault triathlon that same weekend to Berlin for food and lodging that weekend.
"That's what we're trying to do also, promote Berlin," said Klebe.
The town council had some questions for Klebe over volunteer participation and financial remuneration, asking just how that would work.
"They supply us with volunteers. They help us tremendously," said Klebe.
Local non-profit groups which volunteer to help run the Viewtrail Century bike event will receive a percentage of the proceeds, Klebe said.
As an example, Klebe pointed to donations made to the Friends of Assateague Island for helping with a recent Assateague Assault triathlon, including equipment donated to island lifeguards.
Non-profit organizations can also raise money through pledges collected by fitness event participants, Klebe said.
Councilwoman Paula Lynch asked Klebe, who owns OC Tri-Running Sports, to explain his own financial stake in the bike event.
"I believe in fitness. That's what I love. That's why I'm involved. No, I haven't made a dime," Klebe said.
The town council unanimously approved the request to use Stephen Decatur Park for the bike event.

Dairy Queen Spicy Chicken Strip Basket.9 October 2012 in Delicious!
I've noticed the commercials for the Dairy Queen Spicy Chicken Strip Basket combo. I usually order some hotdogs or regular chicken baskets and I typically stay with my favorites at most restaurants. The commercials and my enjoyment of spicy food led me to give this meal a try.
I could tell immediately after the first bite that I was going to enjoy this meal. The chicken had a nice amount of "bite" to it. The spicy-ness didn't linger too much after each bite. They offer a four and a six piece combo. For me, the four piece with fries, bread and drink is plenty of food.
I'm glad that I let the commercial and craving for spicy food bring me to Dairy Queen today.

Beltre back in the swing with successful debut
Right calf issue behind him, third baseman keeps eye toward Classic
By AJ Cassavell / MLB.com
SURPRISE, Ariz. -- Adrian Beltre's right calf was tested from all angles on Monday, and it held up just fine in his spring debut -- a prospect that bodes well for both the Texas Rangers and the Dominican Republic.
"Coming out of the box quick, swinging hard, a quick reaction at third -- everything went fine," the Rangers third baseman said after he was removed in the fifth inning of a victory over San Diego.
In order to maximize his at-bats in as few innings as possible, Beltre led off and roped a double down the right-field line in his first spring at-bat. He looked comfortable sprinting to first before slowing his stride to cruise into second. He finished the day 1-for-3 with a run and reached in the third inning on an error.
Beltre was also tested in the field, starting a nifty around-the-horn double play on a sharp liner to his left that he initially dropped. An inning later, he was forced to backpedal awkwardly onto the outfield grass, but made his play on a routine popup look, well, routine.
If everything goes according to plan -- meaning Beltre's calf continues to heal and the Dominican Republic squad advances past the first round -- Beltre will join his native country in Miami for the second round of the World Baseball Classic.
"It's hard to say," Beltre said when asked if he would have to move along any quicker than usual in order to prepare himself for the Classic. "I'll see how I feel and see if I'm healthy enough to force it and do everything 100 percent. Today was a good test, and it felt fine, and we'll see how it goes the next day."
So what are Beltre's plans when the Dominican Republic takes the field for Pool C action on Thursday night against Venezuela in San Juan, Puerto Rico? He'll be watching and cheering along with the rest of his countrymen.
"I'm always the biggest fan regarding my country," Beltre said.
Despite a team loaded with star power, the Dominican Republic is by no means a lock for a berth in the second round. Pool C is considered by most to be the toughest group in the Classic, featuring Puerto Rico, Venezuela and Spain.
Beltre didn't play in the '09 edition, when the Dominicans were upset twice by the Kingdom of the Netherlands and didn't advance past the first round.
"Last [time] wasn't pretty," Beltre said. "But stuff happens. It's a short series, anything can happen. I hope they do better than what they did in the last one."
"They took the Netherlands probably too lightly last WBC," Beltre added. "This year, they're going to go maybe more hungry."
In the meantime, Beltre will be doing his part by prepping for a chance to jump into action on March 12 at Marlins Park. What that entails is being comfortable enough to play at full speed for a nine-inning game.
The next step in that process is a day off Tuesday, followed by a start Wednesday in which he'll likely see six or seven innings of action. Beltre added that his mental readiness for a nine-inning affair is just as important to him as the physical preparation.
Rangers manager Ron Washington agreed, saying he's not too concerned with sending his three-time All-Star star third baseman away for up to eight days.
"When he leaves he'll be playing baseball, so he'll be continuing to get swings," Washington said. "It's not like he's leaving and all of a sudden he won't be working. He's going to continue to work."
Fortunately for Beltre, at this point in his career, he doesn't need much to feel ready for a season. He put the number at only 20 or so plate appearances. Anything after that, he said, is just extra practice.
"I don't need a lot of at-bats," Beltre said. "Again, it depends how I feel, but most of my good years have been when I take less at-bats in Spring Training."
At 33, Beltre is coming off the second-best season of his career -- a season in which he finished third in the voting for American League Most Valuable Player. In 2012, he hit .321 and slugged .561, while notching 36 homers and 102 RBIs. He also won his fourth Gold Glove Award.
So what does he have to do in order to feel that same level of preparedness for when the meaningful games start this time around?
"It's just about having that right feeling, especially offensively," Beltre said. "Defensively it's easier. It comes back fast. Offensively, you need to find that little groove where you feel comfortable."

I really like Radionova, but the Russian "baby" I really like is Alexandra Proklova. She had the two best programs of any Russian ladies skater, IMO, and she is so talented musically. I love that FS. I think it's such a shame that she didn't get to compete at Junior Worlds.
I can't wait until she becomes a senior.

I think you have to be very careful not to portray Peter as this person who always thinks he's worthless. I think he was insecure, but whilst at Hogwarts he was in with the 'cool' gang. He had a worth to them and felt validated somewhat by their friendship. I think there'd be moments when he does feel irritated and slighted but not many. Remus, for one thing, isn't perceived to have been as cruel as Sirius, for instance.Originally Posted by Royari
But ... Peter probably didn't think Remus was worth as much as Sirius because Remus was never going to be wholly accepted by the magical community.
To be honest my feeling with the Marauders is that there dynamic changes as soon as James and Lily become a serious item and it's not just James chasing after a girl. James has a new priority outside the group. Sirius is always going to be okay because he's secure enough in their friendship (although a bit of jealousy could be interesting), Remus has always been that bit more detached from the group because he knows he's different. Peter is the one with the problems as the group fractures.
Also, when do you think the Death Eaters first started courting him, and how long do you think it took him to give in?
I have a few theories about this. One is that on leaving Hogwarts he came into contact with DE's working at the Ministry (See The Slow Burn of Betrayal and the first chapter of Apparently Asleep which hints at this). Then there's his feelings during the seventh year when the Marauders were thinking beyond Hogwarts and possibly breaking up. In the big bad world, Peter would be without his friends. (Wormtail on the Hogwarts Express)
But you could also look at the DEs (or wannabee DEs) who were still at Hogwarts. JKR has hinted that Voldemort tried to recruit James and Lily while they were at Hogwarts (the first example of them defying him), it could be that Peter was recognised as a weak link by the DEs at that point. They always seem to have a good head for strategy.

I like Amar'e about as much as I can like any pro athlete (well not as much as some of my favourites but you get the idea) but what if ... no it's too mad to contemplate, but what the hell let's do it anyway.
CP3 waits it out till 2012 and through the same collusion that the Heat used tells D12 to do the same.
In 2012 for whatever reason (injury or just because we can) we cut Amar'e with our amnesty. Don't tell me about how much we owe him because we don't owe him ****. I love Melo's game and he's my boy but we don't owe him either, they both were ruthless and got theirs and if they loved NY as much as they say they would have taken less to be a Knick.
So anyway if CP3 and D12 are willing to take less to play together while still leaving us the cash to build around them, what if we amnesty Amar'e and have enough to build around a core of
It's possible is all I'm saying and if D12 and CP3 would be open to it, we'd be mad not to do it.

Amidst the anti-inflationary policies presently pursued by most of the world's important central banks, the global economy continues to grow impressively. Even a number of Europe's lackluster economies are beginning to register respectable growth rates.
One dark cloud, however, overshadows these positive developments. It comes from an unlikely source: France's new President Nicolas Sarkozy. In contemporary "Social Europe," Sarkozy is considered an economic liberalizer. He intends, for example, to liberalize France's hyper-regulated labor market to reduce unemployment (especially among young people and Muslim migrants), improve flagging French productivity, and halt the exodus of French citizens seeking work abroad.
Sarkozy also wants to increase exemptions from France's notorious fortune-tax which has turned thousands of French citizens into tax exiles, and to cap the total individual income tax rate at 50 percent.
These are good first steps. Unfortunately there is another side to "Sarkonomics" which may have negative consequences for the entire European Union.
First, there is Sarkozy's recent successful effort to have the EU dilute its decades-old formal commitment to free competition that was partly driven by his desire to shore up France's economic "champions of industry." This begs the question: if these companies are such "champions," why do they need protection from foreign competition?
Even more worrying is Sarkozy's expressed desire to significantly augment EU governments' control of the European Central Bank and exchange rate and interest rate policies.
Politicians of all complexions have plenty of incentives to want to exercise strong influence over central banks. Such control provides politicians with opportunities to manipulate currencies and interest rates to maximize their reelection chances, regardless of the long-term fiscal consequences. It also gives politicians the option of letting the inflation genie out of the bottle to boost short-to-medium term employment at the expense of devaluing people's savings, shattering price stability, and undermining long-term employment growth.
Governments' tendencies to succumb to such temptations are hardly new. One of the most devastating critiques of such fiscal irresponsibility was written almost 400 years ago by a Spanish Catholic theologian, Juan de Mariana (1536-1624), in his famous Treatise on the Alteration of Money (1609).
An outspoken figure, Mariana's criticisms of the Spanish monarchy's monetary policies — specifically its habit of currency manipulation — marked him as a dangerous man in the eyes of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century monarchs. Currency depreciation was regularly pursued by most European monarchs to finance their wars and arbitrarily reduce their debts.
Mariana's opposition to such policies was moral and economic. His moral objection was that just as a monarch had "no right to tax his subjects without their consent," a king also "had no right to lower the weight or quality of the coinage without their acquiescence."
"If a prince," Mariana wrote, "is not empowered to levy taxes on unwilling subjects, and cannot set up monopolies for merchandise, he is not empowered to make fresh profit from debased money."
Mariana's primary economic arguments were that (1) the price-increases fuelled by monetary debasement and the subsequent inflation hurt those on low- and fixed-incomes; and (2) diminished confidence in the currency's relative stability and ability to accurately reflect the true value of goods and services undermined basic prerequisites of prosperous economies.
Such was the Spanish monarchy's fury at Mariana's criticisms, it imprisoned the aging priest for almost a year and confiscated his papers.
Recognizing the economic dysfunctionalism associated with excessive government control of money, many countries have legally mandated their central banks' independence. But what governments give, they can also take away. In February 2007, Venezuela's Hugo Chavez terminated the independence of Venezuela's central bank as part of his "new socialism" agenda.
Even when central banks' independence is legally mandated, plenty of central bank governors' memoirs detail the myriad ways in which governments seek to unduly influence their decisions.
Many recall the unseemly squabble surrounding the 1998 appointment of the European Central Bank's first president, the late Wim Duisenberg. So determined was France's Jacques Chirac to have a Frenchman at the helm, he forced through an "informal agreement" (publicly denied by all concerned parties) that Duisenberg would "voluntarily retire" 2 years before the end of his six-year term and be replaced by current ECB president Jean-Claude Trichet.
Sarkozy's desire to diminish the ECB's independence thus represents continuation of his predecessor's economic policies. But it also reflects the centuries-old unwillingness of many European politicians to leave Europe's currencies alone. Mariana highlighted this at the expense of his liberty.
In 1976, the Nobel Laureate economist Friedrich von Hayek argued that "denationalizing money" might be the only way to decisively limit governments' ability to manipulate money to further their own narrow ends rather than the common good.
Perhaps it's time for Hayek's and Mariana's fellow Europeans to start thinking the hitherto unthinkable.

Feel like you're not completely immersed in your favorite FPS games? Sony aims to change that with their new DR-GA500 7.1 gaming headset. But does its sleek and sexy design try to cover up a mediocre sound?
Upon first glance, you'll notice that the design is anything but ordinary. Around each headphone are three separate foam pillows that encase your ear and rest on your head. This design is aimed at prolonged sessions to ensure maximum comfort. They aren't necessarily uncomfortable per se, but I found that this unique design just feels strange and doesn't get better over time. The extra air flow it gets due to this design prevents ears from getting overly sweaty, which is nice. The one thing I loved was the fold away microphone which until I looked at the manual, didn't even notice was there.
The sound varies depending on how they're used and what equipment you have which I'll touch on later. They can be plugged in as standard headphones that have both a 40mm headphone jack and microphone jack. The sound is fairly high quality, but it doesn't reach its full potential until the signal processing box is plugged in and configured. While it's impossible to fully replicate 7.1 audio through headphones, the black box acts as a faux-surround sound that in some cases works. Before you can get it to work however, there is a process in hooking everything up that requires a bundle of cables and most of all, patience.
The box has multiple settings, from 2ch, 5.1 and 7.1 surround, a Surround and FPS effect setting and a compression switch. It's important to fiddle around with these settings a bit to find which one sounds the best. There are numerous things keeping it from perfection however. First of all you have to own a damn good sound card to get the most out of it. While it technically works with lower end cards, the sound quality is noticeably better on higher end ones.
Secondly, since it's faux-surround, you're not exactly getting the same type of sound you'd expect from a 7.1 system connected to your TV. What's more baffling is that the Surround effect doesn't sound much different when switched over to the FPS effect. This is disappointing since the headset is largely aimed at the FPS crowd. What works like a charm however is the mic. It picked up my voice very clearly and appeared to cancel out any background noise that was going on at my house.
It's hard to fully recommend this headset unless you have a serious sound card, the patience to hook everything up, some serious cash to fork over or a penchant for buying shiny and strangely designed technology. While it's not the most impressive surround sound effect, it does provide that extra bit of immersiveness you might have been lacking in your frag sessions, though don't expect to dominate the battlefield with your newfound surround senses.

So after being part of some serious vintage bike idiocy for a couple of years, mostly involving two rounds of the Mexican 1000, it was time for me to build a bike. I wanted something a bit bigger then the SL. An old airhead was my first impulse, but I kept coming up with practical objections. Weight, balance, power, etc, etc. In truth, the problem was I used to own an oilhead GS and didn't really want another. That brought me to the old Honda CBs. Something like an old CB550 was still heavy, but would be easier to balance (shorter motor, chain drive) and have a bit more power. But that's just dressing up the fact that my first bike was a CB650 and I do kind of miss that one. So with about 8 months to go until the next MX1K I enlisted some accomplices and started ordering parts. Most notable among the accomplices is Rick "LC Garage" who is letting me build this thing in his garage. This bike is being built with a mind towards the race, but mostly as a Normally with a build, it makes sense to start with a complete bike and modify it. Unfortunately, the old SOHC 4s have such a following that complete bikes are quite expensive, so I'm starting from parts. The good news is that the cult has produced a lot of information on building and tuning these bikes, and has also kept the aftermarket alive. Ebay and Craigslist were scoured, parts trickled in, and building starts. I've only gotten as far as a test fit of the forks to the frame, but so far everything is progressing perfectly. :eek1 Rick has some posed pictures, but here is one I took while checking the wheel clearance. The forks and wheel are from a DRZ. So far, so good. But there is a bit more to do.

text: I just had a revelation. If you are playing an opponent who constantly and blatantly foot faults, I have the solution Anytime their serve hits the line, call it out. Since they are always stepping way over the line, you are actually being more than fair since you are only calling their serves out if they hit the line. Wow I cant believe what a great idea this is.

Not too long into "Guardians of the Galaxy," Chris Pratt's goofy planet-hopping mercenary character Peter Quill alludes to "The Maltese Falcon" and "Raiders of the Lost Ark" – a nod-and-a-wink homage to the borrowed plot device of chasing an elusive, prized item.
He also could have just as easily name-checked the film that paved the way for special effects-filled, sci-fi, adventure, comic buddy movies like "Guardians": "Ghostbusters."
As "Guardians of the Galaxy" rules the summer movie universe, "Ghostbusters" crosses the streams of time to return to theaters this holiday weekend with a restored 30th anniversary edition.
From "Spaceballs" to "Men in Black" to "Guardians," moviegoers have reaped laughs and thrills from what "Ghostbusters" started with the first flip of the Proton Pack switch. Still, all these years later, the response to "Who you gonna call?" for the greatest movie of the genre remains the same.
Sure, the special effects in "Ghostbusters" register as a pale shade of slime green compared to today's sharp digital technology. But in the summer of 1984, the flick electrified and entertained moviegoers as it stormed the summer box office like Stay Puft Marshmallow Man rampaging through New York.
Director Ivan Reitman deftly combined the film's various elements – even throwing in a love story. But "Ghostbusters" ultimately gelled thanks to the comic chemistry of a cast boasting Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, Ernie Hudson, Annie Potts, Rick Moranis and Sigourney Weaver.
Murray led the antics, with his sardonic scientist Peter Venkman transporting the lines like "He slimed me" and "We came, we saw, we kicked its a--" beyond catchphrases into pop cultural touchstones. Aykroyd and Ramis' super-serious protogeeks, Ray Stantz and Egon Spengler, provided a deadpan counterpart to Venkman's one-liners and boisterous declarations with nerdspeak that wouldn't be out of place in the current revival of "Doctor Who" (in explaining the danger of "crossing the streams," Spengler famously warned, "Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light").
The return of "Ghostbusters" also is unexpectedly poignant, coming six months after the death of Ramis, a sometimes-underappreciated force of modern movie comedy. He and Aykroyd reportedly worked for years writing a third "Ghostbusters" installment, though Murray is said to have balked at returning. Recent reports vary, with purported plans including everything from young actors joining the surviving cast members to a reboot featuring an all-women Ghostbusting team.
Whether or not the Ghostbuster's former firehouse headquarters ever reopens, the rerelease marks an opportunity for some of us to revisit an old favorite on the big screen and for others to learn what all the fuss is all about.
The return of "Ghostbusters" might not be, as Murray's Venkman would put it, an event of "biblical proportions." But it marks a good excuse to end the summer season with a trip to the movies. Check out the trailer below for the top movie of the summer of 1984 – and a timeless film comedy:
