text: On Wednesday, Chris Weidman and Ronda Rousey traveled to Albany, New York to accompany UFC chairman and CEO Lorenzo Fertitta to visit the state legislature, where the power trio lobbied for state sanctioned mixed martial arts.In the process, both of them may have learned the fate of their own immediate fighting futures. First, Fertitta told Weidman that Anderson Silva had agreed to fight him on July 4th weekend, and now, he has confirmed that women's bantamweight champion Rousey's next opponent is likely to be determined on April 13. That is the date of The Ultimater Fighter finale in Las Vegas, and, he told MMA Fighting that Rousey will be in attendance as an interested observer when Miesha Tate and Cat Zingano pair off.We're going to see who wins that fight, and more than likely, she'll face the winner, Fertitta said. So I think she's got a lot of interest in seeing that outcome.Rousey is less than two weeks removed from her historic win over Liz Carmouche, marking the first time a woman won in the UFC's octagon. The event was by all accounts a success, drawing a sellout crowd of 15,525 to the Honda Center in Anaheim, California. That was good for a $1.4 million gate. Rousey also drew attention from major media outlets including The Los Angeles Times, The New York Times and HBO, among others. Her second fight, though, might be a truer gauge of her drawing powers. A Tate win would likely set up the most lucrative scenario, as it would result in a rematch of a March 2012 Strikeforce fight which saw Rousey win via first-round armbar in 4:27. That was Rousey's longest career fight until Carmouche extended her to 4:49 at UFC 157.If Zingano wins, it would be a breakthrough victory for the 30-year-old Colorado-based fighter who is currently unbeaten at 7-0. Zingano has finished six of her victories.Fertitta didn't offer a timetable for Rousey's first title defense, but a late summer/early fall date would seem a match for the promotion's scheduling needs.

Oh boy. This log explains so much…
Great scene, though! Now I can't wait for mock threadfall!
|Nora, Q'fex
|Q'fex asks for Nora's help with supplies, and also crazy goldriders.
|There is 1 turn 2 months and 9 days until the 12th pass
|War Room - Southern Weyr
War Room
Where books used to live in the skybroom room beyond, they *do* live in the war room, in dismal state: a few scattered pages may deepen the mystery, but most of the books, scrolls and hides laying scattered are waterlogged or dryrotted, falling apart at the touch.
It's spring in Southern and mild with it — but for all that it is a lovely day, Q'fex is inside the newly-renovated War Room, where all of the current documentation is kept handily accessible for the leadership. He's seated at one of the comfortable desks therein, going over what appear to be inventory manifests, making marks every so often on a separate hide, tallying up a total of… something. His dark eyebrows are drawn together in concentration, and he doesn't seem to be quite cognizant of anyone else — though only a Harper apprentice, dutifully maintaining records, and a discreet guard otherwise inhabit the space.
And now there is also a trimly dressed woman, striding in with her gray dress sweeping about her slim calves, though perhaps that's not so noticeable compared to the bright pink scarf that serves as accent around her throat. Oh, but there is a bit of pink in the piping of her heeled shoes so… nevermind. Anyway, Nora comes in, a ledger under her arm, aiming for exactly the right shelf to replace the borrowed file, though the clack of her heels comes to abrupt halt when she realizes Q'fex is there. She offers him up a wide smile before continuing over to tuck the ledger among its fellow caverns accounts.
Distraction, thy name is Nora: because Q'fex is well-and-truly distracted as the impeccably turned-out young woman enters. "Nora," he greets her, reaching out with a leg to kick at the chair on the other side of him — by-way of offering, perhaps. "You are perhaps the exact person I need to see." His smile is lazy, as so many of his expressions are: dark eyes that seem perpetually drowsy shift as he inclines his head towards the chair. "What do we have in expendable, soft items that we can dye? Do we have any connection for used rope?"
Exactly the person he needed to see? Nora puts on a smile as if his sentiment has been followed by some talk of her being the sunshine on a cloudy day, the exact person everyone needs to see at any given hour. And thus, the smile swears is lightly flattered and playfully sympathetic when she answers, "I know," with just a dash of sing-song. It is, though, just in good humor, and she turns to approach and slide herself into the offered seat, hands folded on the table as she listens to his heart's desires. But this is not her first rodeo, or so claims her increasingly knowing grin. And then it disappears for the sake of seriousness. "In my experience, anywhere there are ships, there are old sails and worn out rope. I could check the stores, but given how recently we've settled…" Worn out stuff might be harder to come by. "As for the dye, one person with a knowledge of the local plants, a few riders and an afternoon could probably see that done. Or blood, from butchers." Fear factor.
Q'fex strokes his chin, and the scruff that has already darkened it, thoughtfully. It's not nearly as evil overlord as it COULD be. "Ships." His eyes narrow in thought. "Well, perhaps…" He shakes his head, then. "One of the local lads that Impressed told me that they make a kind of rope out of a vine, after it's been boiled. Perhaps you could see to it that the candidates are taken out on an expedition? See if we can't get something. Maybe a group up to Tillek, and another to try their hand at making them…" His voice trails. "They don't have to be perfect, since we're just going to end up flaming them." He buries both hands into his hair, staring down at the hide in front of him, then glances up, awkwardly, to Nora. "I want to run a full-length mock fall, with all wings. So we'll need… a quantity." He's only the hitched twitch of a smirk for the suggestion of blood as dye; it seems rather fitting.
"Vine," Nora repeats, her own lashes taking on that thoughtful narrowing, gaze cast aside at the wall beside the silent guard. She looks at him only briefly before carrying on. "If you want something to hold the dye, I'm not sure about vine. I suppose I'd have to see it. Or rather, have someone who knows better take a look. But if you just need something to dip and drop, that might be the most economic way to go. "Vines, in blood, would probably do the trick without costing us much more than the labor of a few candidates." Easy peasy, for her. And yet why does the man look so stressed out about it? Her neat head tips to the side, delicate fingers corralling the tumble of a just-so piece of sideswept hair behind her ear. She considers him, hands-in-hair, posture sinking into his paperwork. "What's wrong?"
"I think I'm going to be left with a hundred or more dragons all painted like drunk whores with too much blush," Q'fex returns, his voice morose. He shakes his head, then allows his palms to slide along his cheeks as he straightens with a half-yawn, eyes going to the ceiling momentarily. "I would appreciate it if you would look into the logistics of that. I don't mind expending a small budget for sailrags if need be, or dye. I… would like at least some of them to be dipped in bright dye." So it's OBVIOUS how bad they are. In his head. "And.. we'll probably need to use the candidates to throw ropes down, anyhow. The weyrlings will be flying by then, and perhaps strong enough to ferry ropes from the ground up to the thread-flingers…" He's FOCUSED on all of this. Then. Abruptly. Without warning. "Why is Lendai so fucking crazy?"
Nora's lips press together. Is she wearing blush? No probably not; too pale. And maybe that bit of rosiness on her mouth is just a reflection off that pink scarf she's wearing. Anyway, exposed ankles (currently crossed beneath her seat) or no, drunk whore does not apply and so it's more likely that it's Q'fex's obvious distress that gives her some pause. "Of course, sir," she says of his request. "You want the candidates in the air?" she asks, rather dubiously at first but clearly thinking it over in the subsequent seconds and perhaps not so averse to the notion. She's still pondering that particular phase of the project when he suddenly shifts gears. Her mouth is caught open for a moment, not so much taken aback as just… processing. "Well, I did hear about some…" Event? Behavior? Incident? Any of those. "In the library." Which the prim blink of her eyes seems to find distasteful. "Or are you asking why she makes you crazy?" And with that, a single finger flicks up and down to indicate his whole present person, currently wrought and prone to unexpectedly personal questions.
"They might as well see it close-up," Q'fex returns re: candidates in the air. "We don't want anyone who isn't committed." TRIAL BY FIRE. Q'fex is an advocate. "Thank you," he is very careful to be gracious, with full eye contact and seemingly quite genuine emotion as to Nora's taking over a part of this somewhat-unorthodox project. With that, he seems to close the topic — leaning back in his chair, he considers her response. Thoughtfully. "No, why she is crazy. She makes me crazy by being crazy. She's ran through the weyr naked on numerous occasions, without flights to blame a lack of… discretion. She nearly killed one of her own juniors. She has no earthly idea…" He catches himself in a middle of a rant and shakes his head, tersely.
Nora, to her credit, does give the question a moment of thought. "Have you asked her?" It's a novel idea, at least. Hey, Lendai, why are you so crazy? "I'm not sure I can answer why she is the way she is. I've never… spoken to her." But hearing about nearly killing someone is a bit disconcerting and the headman's assistant has her brows pinching together. "I hadn't heard about that," she admits, leaving enough pause to, perhaps, invite the story now. "There's nothing you can do to stop her? Do you not have… support?" She manages to make the question sound more sympathetic than anything else, but there's a little something sharper in her eye as it picks over the man's face. A breath of a laugh comes as she settles back in her chair, a posture less prim and more comfortable, though she does cross her arms as well. "Let it out," she suggests. Wasn't she exactly the person he wanted to see?
"I…" Q'fex pauses. "I'm not sure if I have." He's maybe approached it obliquely but not face-on, and THAT gives him a long pause to consider this NOVEL IDEA. "She was the one who built that platform. The one that collapsed on Hannah." His look is DARK for that, and he looks rather still pissed over the whole thing. He shakes his head in exasperation as to what he can do to stop her; "If I meddle in the lower caverns," he points out, "What's to stop her from fucking with my wings? And, begging your pardon," he has the grace to look a scant mite apologetic, "But the wings are just more important, at this point in time. I can't risk breaking tradition and invite the same from her." He affects the same pose he had a moment ago: hands in his hair, staring down at the hide in front of him unseeing.
"Oh, yes, well… I did not get the idea that she meant for it to collapse," Nora points out in Lendai's favor, sort of. There's a little wrinkle of her nose since, well, anyone who might have seen the platform was pretty quick to assess that collapsing was inevitable. "But the juniors, they're no help in the matter?" Perhaps, at a certain level, it doesn't count as meddling anymore? And she doesn't draw any attention to the fact that she, herself, is part of the lower caverns with which he is averse to getting involved. Anyway, when he swears, Nora flashes a quick smile to forgive him. "Perhaps all you can do, then, is ignore her. I'd imagine that a reaction is exactly what she's looking for. Maybe it won't be so satisfying to scandalized the Weyr with her breasts if it appears that no one is impressed by them." But, there is a long, drawn inhale, resigned. "It might be difficult, though, to convince everyone to ignore it." 'Difficult', otherwise known as 'impossible'.
"She didn't have to mean it to collapse. Did you see it?" Q'fex's eyebrow do an independent movement of rising, apparently without communication what they were doing, because he catches the expression and changes it back into one of faint consternation. "Bailey's a bitch," he states, bluntly, "And Hannah…" His voice is faintly wistful - well, to one as observant as Nora, at least. "No, no help," he confirms. Her entire idea of putting her social-attention-reinforced behaviors on extinction seems to give him a moment's start. "But perhaps … I could get enough." With a look gone thoughtful (and thus intrinsically dangerous, given this particular man), he nods at Nora, once, precise. "Thank you, Nora." There comes his half-smile, charming as ever, off-center and crooked: "You were the person I needed to talk to." That serves as his lead-in to departure, evidently, as he places palms on the table and moves to rise.
Is it her idea, really, that gives him pause, or is it the fact that she slung the word breast around without so much as an uneasy titter. (… Hah!) Anyway, as Q'fex goes through the rollercoaster of cursing Bailey and wisting over Hannah, Nora is pursing her lips, curled fingers lifting to brush against her chin. "On second thought…" Yes, she can see he's getting ready to rise and leave, but that doesn't seem to hurry her along from the conversation he started. "Do you think it's just your attention she's looking for? Or someone in particular? Perhaps placating her is a simpler option. Fewer moving parts." Fewer than some kind of Weyr-wide gaslighting. And only after that does she shift her weight to be ready to stand when he does. "Did you have a timeframe on the rope drills?" she wonders lightly, as if this whole discussion about Lendai never interrupted the original topic.
Q'fex pauses to give Nora a most blank look, like he couldn't conceive of any reason, "Why would Lendai want my attention?" Q'fex-The-Clueless does look off, though, contemplatively. MAYBE SOMETHING CLICKS. "Huh. Maybe she has a thing for Th'seus. Things seemed to get worse after he won Hannah's flight." His face goes EXTRA thoughtful. One thing is for sure: Nora just made this whole situation FAR MORE CONVOLUTED, because Q'fex will now have to go hunt Th'seus down and find out what the other bronzerider things of this hypothetical conjecture. Good job, Nora. Here's a gold star. "Oh, a sevenday or two. Not more than three, ideally. I want to catch them at physical peak, right when they've caught their second wind from all the drilling I've mandated." Because a few more sevendays to slog through is just what the docto… er, Q'fex prescribed. He stands. "If that sounds doable?" A tilt upwards of dark 'brows.
Nora looks goooood in a gold star. As as she stands, she also gives him a decisive nod for the timing of her task. "Yes, sir," she accepts without fanfare. After that, she puts on her sweet smile for the expressive lift of his brows, perhaps even bats a lash, though subtly done if so. Doable? "For me? Of course." Pride, thy name be Nora. "Good luck. And let me know if you need anything," she bids with with a twiddle of her fingers in the air before she turns to head back the way she came.
Oh boy. This log explains so much…
Great scene, though! Now I can't wait for mock threadfall!

But the grace that brought the Noah family through that terrible apocalypse also required Noah to endure possibly a hundred years of ark building while the world mocked on. As a "preacher of righteousness" (2 Peter 2:5) he warned the world of God's coming judgment and had not one convert (except maybe his sons' wives). There was much work to do in gathering food for his family and all God's animals. He and his family endured an entire year of cabin fever in a closed-up boat, eating the same simple meals every day and cleaning up after a whole population of smelly beasts. When they got off the ark, they must have felt like they had traveled to a different planet. How lonely they must have been those first few years!
In my way of thinking, supposing I were Noah, finding grace in God's sight would have meant something different. God would have come to me and said, "Noah, you have found grace in my sight. I am going to completely destroy the world and everyone in it, but I will save you and your family. I am going to make an ark big enough for your family and all the animals I choose. Your neighbors will be respectful of your faith, and even though none of them will believe you, they won't bother you, either. In fact, I will cause them to help you gather food for your journey. The ark will have lots of windows, with strong awnings, so you can get some fresh air in there, and there will be a covered deck so you can go outside and get some sun after the first forty days. When you come off the ark, I will have made you and your sons beautiful homes and fields all ready to harvest. My grace will make things easier for you."
That's not what happened, though. Finding grace with God didn't mean an easier life, in fact, it meant a lot more trouble and difficulty and things Noah would otherwise never have experienced.
So here is what I have been thinking about. The troubles and difficulties I am seeing now -- are they actually part of God's grace in my life? I think they must be! Knowing that these things are part of the process of his grace should make my heart more grateful, don't you think? I know this. Every Christian knows this. But I feel like this is sort of a new realization, like this "bad" stuff really is God's plan for me, and not just obstacles for me to overcome in order to follow his plan. This IS the plan! I can trust him with this! Up until now, I think my understanding of God's grace has been all wrong. I''ll be chewing on this for a while.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways,
and my thoughts than your thoughts.
Isaiah 55:8,9

Say what you will, call him names! A lame duck, yes mistakes have been made, the rules of laissez-faire capitalism were violated, but right now it is he who stands between prosperity through free market principles, and the forces of Statism, who wish to reduce the financial sector to a tragic shadow of its former self, a mere government utility!
Here are two opinions: one by the most underestimated US President in history, George W. Bush - and an article by Objectivists Yaron Brook and Don Watkins on the Op-Ed page of the Ayn Rand Center for Individual Rights: a urgent plea for the separation of Economy and State. Europeans are urged to take note of a field virtually unknown to them. But first, the news:
CNN: "Bush ready to defend free-market principles during summit"
(...) President Bush signaled that he's ready to defend Western-style capitalism and free-market principles during what will be one of his last appearances on the world stage. (...) As leaders of the world's 20 largest economies, dubbed the G-20, gather in Washington, some European leaders are pushing for global financial regulation. (...) >>>
Wall Street Journal: "The Surest Path Back to Prosperity - 'If you seek economic growth, social justice and human dignity, the free-market system is the way to go'," by George W. Bush
As we have seen in recent months, financial turmoil anywhere in the world affects economies everywhere in the world. And so this weekend I'm going to host a Summit on Financial Markets and the World Economy with leaders from developed and developing nations that account for nearly 90% of the world economy. The leaders attending this weekend's meeting agree on a clear purpose -- to address the current crisis, and to lay the foundation for reforms that will help prevent a similar crisis in the future. (...) the actions taken by the U.S. and other nations are having an impact. Credit markets are beginning to thaw. Businesses are gaining access to essential short-term financing. A measure of stability is returning to financial systems.
(...) we must recognize that government intervention is not a cure-all. For example, some blame the crisis on insufficient regulation of the American mortgage market. But many European countries had much more extensive regulations, and still experienced problems almost identical to our own. History has shown that the greater threat to economic prosperity is not too little government involvement in the market, it is too much government involvement in the market.
We saw this in the case of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Because these firms were chartered by the U.S. Congress, many believed they were backed by the full faith and credit of the U. S. government. Investors put huge amounts of money into Fannie and Freddie, which they used to build up irresponsibly large portfolios of mortgage-backed securities. When the housing market declined, these securities, of course, plummeted in value. It took a taxpayer-funded rescue to keep Fannie and Freddie from collapsing in a way that would have devastated the global financial system.
There is a clear lesson: Our aim should not be more government -- it should be smarter government. All this leads to the most important principle that should guide our work: While reforms in the financial sector are essential, the long-term solution to today's problems is sustained economic growth. And the surest path to that growth is free markets and free people.
In the wake of the financial crisis, voices from the left and right equate the free-enterprise system with greed and exploitation and failure. It's true this crisis included failures -- by lenders and borrowers and financial firms, and by governments and independent regulators. But the crisis was not a failure of the free-market system. And the answer is not to try to reinvent that system. It is to fix the problems, make reforms, and move forward with the free-market principles that have delivered prosperity and hope to people all across the globe. (...)
Nations that pursued other models have experienced devastating results. Soviet communism starved millions, bankrupted an empire, and collapsed as decisively as the Berlin Wall. Cuba, once known for its vast fields of cane, is now forced to ration sugar. While Iran sits atop giant oil reserves, its people cannot put enough gasoline in their cars.
The record is unmistakable: If you seek economic growth, social justice and human dignity, the free-market system is the way to go. It would be a terrible mistake to allow a few months of crisis to undermine 60 years of success. (...) >>>
Give Bush a buzz z
Ayn Rand Center for Individual Rights: "Stop Blaming Capitalism for Government Failures", by Yaron Brook and Don Watkins
Speaking of the financial crisis, French president Nicolas Sarkozy recently said, "Laissez-faire is finished. The all-powerful market that always knows best is finished." Sarkozy was echoing the views of many, including president-elect Obama, who assume that the financial crisis was caused by free markets--by "unbridled greed" unleashed by decades of deregulation and a "hands off" approach to the economy. And given this premise, the solution, they say, is obvious. To solve this crisis and prevent another one, we need a heavy dose of Uncle Sam's elixir: government intervention. (...)
But while capitalism may be a convenient scapegoat, it did not cause any of these problems. Indeed, whatever one wishes to call the unruly mixture of freedom and government controls that made up our economic and political system during the last three decades, one cannot call it capitalism. (...) Take a step back.
In the lead up to the "Reagan Revolution," the explosive growth of government during the '60s and '70s had left the American economy in disarray. A crushing tax burden, runaway inflation, brutal unemployment, and economic stagnation had Americans looking for an alternative. That's what Reagan offered, denouncing big government and promising a new "morning in America." (...) Bush Jr., often laughably called a champion of free markets, presided over massive new governmental controls like Sarbanes-Oxley and massive new welfare programs like the prescription drug benefit.
None of this is consistent with capitalism. (...) The government's job under capitalism is single but crucial: to protect individual rights from violation by force or fraud. America came closest to this system in the latter half of the nineteenth century. The result was an unprecedented explosion of wealth creation and consequent rise in the standard of living. Even now, when the fading remnants of capitalism are badly crippled by endless controls, we see that the freest countries--those which retain the most capitalist elements--have the highest standard of living.
Why then should capitalism take the blame today--when capitalism doesn't even exist? (...) Consider the current crisis (...) the driving force is clearly government intervention: the Fed keeping interest rates below the rate of inflation, thus encouraging people to borrow and providing the impetus for a housing bubble; the Community Reinvestment Act, which forces banks to lend money to low-income and poor-credit households; the creation of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac with government-guaranteed debt leading to artificially low mortgage rates and the illusion that the financial instruments created by bundling them are low risk; government-licensed rating agencies, which gave AAA ratings to mortgage-backed securities, creating a false sense of confidence; deposit insurance and the "too big to fail" doctrine, whose bailout promises have created huge distortions in incentives and risk-taking throughout the financial system; and so on. In the face of this long list, who can say with a straight face that the housing and financial markets were frontiers of "cowboy capitalism"? (...)
This is just the latest example of a pattern that has been going on since the rise of capitalism: capitalism is blamed for the ills of government intervention--and then even more government intervention is proposed as the cure. The Great Depression? Despite massive evidence that the Federal Reserve's and other government policies were responsible for the crash and the inability of the economy to recover, it was laissez-faire that was blamed. Consequently, in the aftermath, the government's power over the economy was not curtailed but dramatically expanded. Or what about the energy crisis of the 1970s? (...)It's time to stop blaming capitalism for the sins of government intervention, and give true laissez-faire a chance. Now that would be a change we could believe in. >>>
Wall Street Journal have a touching short documentary on the Great Depression up on their video archive ...

Update: Soeren Kern has the semi pan-European position ... they propose to rule the world by committee ... take note of this: "today's European leaders are about as interested in solving global problems as was Otto von Bismarck, who devoted his life to empire-building and the practice of Realpolitik. Today's European leaders are trying not only to revive the Roman Empire in the form of a unified Europe, but they are also seeking to rebalance global power in such a way that places Europe at the top of the international pecking order" ... read it all:

Why is it when you are looking for something it's always in the last place you looked? Seriously. Grr. I lost some important documents and my orientation is tomorrow. So if you do the math that means I have to find them (yeah sometimes I'm a procrastinator, but I knew I'd have a good part of the day to accomplish this task).
I was thinking about it before I went to sleep last night because they have been missing for several months. I've been meaning to go to the proper offices and get new copies, and well frankly, that's a pain in the arse. So I never got around to doing that.
In my sleep I was looking for these documents in the usual places I have the last few months. Then I looked in my glove box and there they were! So you would think that would be the first place I looked, right? Um. No. I don't exactly work that way.
I seriously looked for like 5 hours. I was so aggravated. I looked on top of the fridge in those empty cabinets, in the closet where we keep the cat snacks, and in last years coat pockets. Behind my dresser (even though I already looked there last month) as well as the giant bag of documents to be shredded. I tore the cushions off of the couch, looked in between books (maybe I used the envelope for a bookmark and forgot)- you name it in the house and I looked. It didn't matter how ridiculous.
I told Kirby if he is ever missing any special documents or papers, if they're not in my filing cabinet we don't have them.
BUT on a whim I remembered my dream so I dug everything out of my glove box and there they were!! Holy freaking cow pies! What a wast of my entire day! I should have followed my subconscious and checked out my car in the first place. There was even a business card from the last place I visited in the envelope. Why did I put them there? In my car of all places?
I'll tell you why. I knew I'd need them and didn't want to file them or carry them around- so me being me put them in a place where I wouldn't forget. Those stupid papers have been missing for months and months! I hate it when I do that! Except when I hide money and forget. I found $20 the other day in my planner. Cool.
Lesson: In this case persistence paid off. It also got 2 closets organized.

I sure what I wanted to do for my first weekend anything-goes party, but I think I came up with something. I pulled out some of my old notebooks and started looking at a few of the prompts I'd written in the past and came up with something totally different. Okay, it's not totally different, but it's not something I'd done before. I'm taking a little bit from different ideas I'd had in the past and merged them all together. Here's the idea. I'm going to post 5 different characters, 5 different places, and 5 different items. You can either mix and match them, use them in order, or if you're up for a killer challenge, find a way to use them ALL in one story. Here we go:
1.) Michael Abernathy--A lawfirm accountant with a secret in his past
2.) Jason Peters--An aging race car driver fighting with his inner demons
3.) Angela Morganstern--A twice-married school teacher who makes a life-changing decision
4.) Childress--A single dad trying to connect with his teenaged daughter

Employees of the store sometimes unlimited nhl 15 coins
Remember as a child you'd put both up onto your face, and because you couldn't see people, you automatically thought they couldn't help you. My daughter did pretty much everything the time when she was being reprimanded for playing mass popularity. She'd just put her little open palms in front of her eyes and disappear, as far she was concerned, into no place. This made me realise how easy it really is to shame someone within process of helping them learn.
In other Miami Hockey news, former hockey standout Dan Boyle was displayed in the NHL 's All-Star game Sun. The defenseman picked up an assist in Team Staal's 11-10 loss to Team Lidstrom, the first one time the NHL provides a fantasy draft for deciding the All-Star crews. This was the second time Boyle has been named on the All-Star baseball team. Boyle is currently another solution captain for your San Jose Sharks. He was part of the 2004 Stanley Cup Champion Tampa Bay Lightning, because the 2010 Olympic gold medal-winning Canadian National Team. From '94-'98, Boyle took part in 148 games for the RedHawks, scoring 40 hopes. His 107 assists are second-most in program history, and his 147 points are the 10th-highest total by any RedHawk.
Games Are Shorter - An american football game usually lasts about 4 hours. Now that's just too long for me personally. Indoor/arena football nhl 15 hut coins games go a little quicker - about 3 or so hours.
Just off College and University, therefore find Zappy Pizza, a tiny little hole from the wall your Food 4 Less shopping mall. The place has the form and feel of a little Caesar's pizza, and likely would have in-fact been one, which were found.
Can I say their five forwards as soon as more? Here is things i mean. Let's pretend Cheechoo can't rebound from last season and puts in like 15 your desired goals. Then, let's say both Kovalev and Spezza aren't feeling particularly motivated and look through the motions the wife or husband of 12 months. Also, let's say Milan Michalek doesn't fit in with title team. Every one of these things are NHL4sale completely conceivable. Then, the Senators will look like last year's team and miss the playoffs once more.
Pens' fans must stay level throughout all on this though. One awkward turned out to be the boards, one blind-side hit, one ANYTHING can change everything. Enjoy everything as it comes and take nothing for granted, as good as products are right now, remember whatever were like after their last loss against Boston ma. Things went quickly from bad to good, likewise know it does reverse direction just just as easily. Stay the course nhl 15 hut coins.

How many months or perhaps how many years (snicker snicker) have you been checking on your Google AdSense account only to see pennies and cents at the end of day?
I know how sucks such moments were. Well, we all have been there and so was I. I'm not making millions or thousands in a month from Google AdSense just yet but I know that many Google AdSense publishers could not even reach the minimum payout of $100 bucks in a month.
Believe me, it took me ages to find out what works best for my many sites and blogs but now I can say that I'm doing okay. No, I didn't buy any eBooks on Google AdSense to achieve that. I just read and continue reading whatever good tips we have out there and apply them straight on my sites and blogs. It is a valuable learning process and I'm glad that now I'm a bit wiser when it comes to making money from Google AdSense.
I wish that I could share everything with you today but hey, I'm no expert! Tell you what; I will let one of the top Google AdSense experts do it for me. He is kind enough to share with the whole world two great videos about Google AdSense that are full with priceless tips and pointers. Watch them and learn, learn from the real master!

23 reasons I think you're worth celebrating.
I'm getting married to you (does that sound like I'm celebrating you because you're connected with me? That's not how I meant it.) You love America, in a really strange way that compels you to buy stars-and-stripes karate suits at flea markets and make movies about Nazi sheep. You love Ebony, Ivory, Melody, Lily (and soon to be Izzie/y) a whole lot, and I think that is cute. You are best friends with Henny Penny. You aren't afraid to be the loner if you really believe in something. You work hard to make the most of your time, money and relationships. You always know when I'm chewing strawberry flavored gum because you hate it. You continue to let me chew strawberry flavored gum, even though you hate it. Your favorite thing to do is go to Taco Bell on 27th Street and then cross the street and go to Taco John's. You hold my hand when we pray. When you get mad at me, you call me "grunch," and I think that's hilarious, because even when you're mad you can't help but use sweet names. You help me update software on my computer. You like to tell me lies about when your birthday is so I write blog posts on the wrong day and your sister has to correct me (thanks, Tiff!) You go to the ends of the earth to make me happy (and Texas on your very short breaks). You insist that your son be named John (despite the fact that we're 5 years from even THINKING about that). You ask me to choose a movie to watch, and when I choose, you ultimately revoke my choice. You like ONLY really crunchy French fries. You get Dr. Pepper when we split a drink because you know I love it. 19 You have an unhealthy love for popcorn. You are my husker boyfriend. You're sentimental. You like to drive around town and look at Christmas lights and nativities with me. You have a quiet, gentle heart and a loving soul.
You're my heart. I love you,
Thursday, December 3, 2009
Happy birthday, Aaron!

This developmental counseling program handbook was created to provide a model which could be followed by a new counselor in developing an elementary guidance program or adapted by an experienced counselor to be used in an existing program. It describes a sequential counseling curriculum for kindergarten through grade six (K-6), and includes brief statements about the roles and functions of the elementary counselor. Student activities and suggested plans included in the guide were developed using ideas from state and school district models from across the United States. The goals and objectives outlined by the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) in 1990 were adopted and used as the basic framework for the Mississippi Counseling Program, K-6. An ASCA position paper containing a statement of the responsibilities of the counselor is included. Following this ASCA student competencies plan is the Mississippi model curriculum, which contains activities at each grade level to foster growth toward three broad goals: personal-social, educational, and career. Objectives designed to reach the goal of personal-social development include gaining self-awareness, developing positive attitudes, making healthy choices, respecting others, gaining responsibility, developing relationship skills, resolving conflicts and making effective decisions. Educational goals include applying effective study skills, setting goals, learning effectively and gaining test taking skills. Career goals encompass forming a career identity, planning for the future, combating career stereotyping and analyzing skills and interests. The Mississippi Counselor Assessment Instrument for the Provisional Counselor is included, providing a readily accessible list of competencies. (BHK)

What is a poetry slam? A poetry slam is a competitive poetry event where poets brave the stage with a poem of their own original work, in under three minutes without the aid of props, costumes or musical accompaniment. The five judges are randomly selected from the audience and assigned with the absurd task of rating the poem with a score from 1-10 to the first decimal point. We drop the high, drop the low, and *poof*, there's your score. After all poets perform and are scored, we say good bye to some poets and move onto the second and third rounds where our winners are decided.
Why would you want to win a poetry slam? Fame? Prestige? Power? NO! But we do have prizes for first, second and third! More to come on what these fanciful miracle rewards may be.
Interested in volunteering or competing in the poetry slam? Send an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com

Summary: Cyclops responds to Senator Kelly's request for a meeting at his home in Virginia. Kelly explains to him that a new international organization called Operation: Zero Tolerance has emerged with a dangerous agenda. Graydon Creed, who is spying from a van outside, gives the order to silence him. Senator Kelly's living room explodes, as Cyclops covers his body. Meanwhile, Gambit and Phoenix infiltrate the Pentagon as Professor Xavier and the X-Men observe in the Blackbird. Disguised as military officers, they sneak into a meeting lead by Zero Tolerance's founder, Bastion. Bastion gives a presentation on the activities of the mysterious Onslaught. He then identifies Gambit and Phoenix as mutants and pulls a gun on them. The duo runs from the armed guards, but the soldiers suddenly fall asleep after the X-Men escape Bastion. A mental image of Onslaught appears to Phoenix, telling her that this was a gift. Meanwhile, Archangel and Psylocke are sparring in the woods when a shadowy figure suddenly appears.
Production Note: Another issue with only nineteen pages.
Continuity Notes: Psylocke's facial tattoo appears for the first time, even though the story doesn't draw any attention to it.
Bastion makes his first real appearance. Phoenix claims that Bastion is a "psionic blank slate". He's also immune to her telekinetic powers. These are all clues towards his real identity, as it's eventually revealed that he's an amalgam of Nimrod and Master Mold.
Senator Kelly says that he first became aware of Zero Tolerance after he investigated the disappearance of scientists at a Sentinel research facility (which happened in X-Men #46). Later on, Bastion says that there were thirty-one scientists who mysteriously re-emerged with no memories of the six months they spent working on the project.
Some more hints linking Professor Xavier to Onslaught show up. Gambit wonders why the Professor knew nothing about all of the known Onslaught activity Bastion lists. Xavier himself is portrayed as snarky and secretive with the team in this issue. When Phoenix speaks to Onslaught at the story's end, she recognizes him as the mental projection who appeared at the end of X-Men #50. Although it's nice to have this confirmed, it makes his dialogue in X-Men #50 even more confusing. In that story, he wanted to know if the X-Men can "hold the last line of defense against the coming", whatever that means.
Review: This is another issue that probably seems worse than it is in retrospect. Since most people don't seem to have fond memories of either the Onslaught or Zero Tolerance storylines, an issue dedicated to setting up both of them isn't going to be too fondly remembered. Judged on its own merits, this issue is at least successful in building up suspense for the future stories, and it offers a rare glimpse of the X-Men going undercover and actually doing something remotely proactive about a rising threat. The nineteen-page format does cheat the story of any action, as the opponents just fall asleep as the issue ends its page count, but the story still works pretty well without a fight scene. A lot of this has to do with Ferry's impressive fill-in art, which has an obvious Madureria influence but still comes across as more than a swipe job. I remember being disappointed that Ferry didn't do more work in the X-office, and it's surprising to me now that he wasn't assigned as a regular fill-in artist for Madureria and Kubert on the main books.
The story is mainly an attempt to build Bastion up as a legitimate threat, as Senator Kelly, the previous authority-figure threat to mutants, is supplanted by the new guy. This could've been a sad attempt at making a new villain seem more powerful at the expense of an established foe (i. e., Juggernaut getting punched hundreds of miles by Onslaught), but it feels more genuine here. Kelly's paranoid response to Zero Tolerance is a little much, but Lobdell's able to give him a legitimate defense of his previous actions that presents him in a sympathetic light. The idea that Senator Kelly is someone with a real concern about the destructive capacity of mutants, rather than a mindless bigot or a demagogue exploiting people's fears, adds another layer to the mutant/human conflict. This was a direction Claremont seemed to be headed in towards the end of his run, and I'm glad Lobdell followed suit (although it's odd that Senator Kelly received a more nuanced portrayal in the '90s than Magneto or Mystique did). The fact that Cyclops still treats Kelly with disdain is also a nice touch. The Gambit/Phoenix storyline feels truncated, but it does a decent enough job of just establishing who Bastion is. Referencing the extremely vague subplot scene about the kidnapped scientists working on a Sentinel project actually connects Kelly to Bastion in a fairly logical way, even if Onslaught's role in the kidnapping remains unexplained. Pairing Gambit and Phoenix together isn't a bad move, if only because they've been X-Men together for five years and have rarely had a scene together. We should've seen more of these pairings over the years.

'I like it on the floor': Most bizarre Breast Cancer Awareness campaign hits Facebook... but it's not as rude as it sounds
By DAILY MAIL REPORTER
Last updated at 6:26 PM on 6th October 2010
Last updated at 6:26 PM on 6th October 2010
The 'I like it on the floor' update has been raising eyebrows across the social networking website – largely due its flirty connotations.
The phrase, which also sees users substitute the word 'floor' for kitchen table, stairs, couch or any location of their choosing, appears to be an unofficial attempt to raise awareness of the disease.
Don't tell the boys: The viral Facebook campaign has raised eyebrows across the globe
- Nearly 46,000 people are diagnosed with breast cancer each year in the UK – equivalent to one person every 11 minutes.
- It is the second biggest cause of death from cancer for women after lung cancer.
- The disease is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women under the age of 35, with over 12,000 people losing their lives to it every year.
Of course the mystery lies in what 'it' could possibly be.
Fortunately, it's nothing smutty at all – rather it refers to where women like to leave their handbags – and the game seems to be an attempt to unite women for a cause while keeping men guessing.
The campaign is being spread via private message on Facebook urging the status updates, although several fan pages of support have also been set up.
The ruse follows a similar Facebook campaign last year which saw female users update their pages by describing their favourite colours.
The flood of 'I like red/ I like blue/ I like white' updates left many men scratching their heads in confusion – until it was revealed to reflect the user's bra colour – a perhaps tenuous way of promoting Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
However, the 'don't tell the boys' element of the game has been a roaring success, with 'I like it on the floor' becoming one of the top searched internet phrases of the moment.
But while the phrase has gone viral, it's unclear as to whether it is actually reaching its objective of raising awareness of what can be a fatal disease.
A spokesman for Breast Cancer Care, which is not affiliated with the campaign, said: 'While viral campaigns have great potential for increasing consciousness around many issues, we'd like to see this go further.

I just love sewing for dolls! There is never a fitting problem and they smile at everything I make! Some of the very first things that I sewed as a child were clothes for my Chatty Cathy. (Do you remember her?) I was quite brave as a little girl and tackled dressmaking without a pattern and sewed the little dresses all by hand. I wish I still had those early creative attempts!
This little 4-piece set was purchased with several other sets as a special birthday present for a special little girl. The applique on the front of the tunic top is taken from a larger Halloween print. The smokey pearl buttons match the charcoal stripe in the plaid. The white linen peasant blouse is trimmed with grosgrain ribbon to coordinate with the applique thread and can be worn with the shorts without the tunic. I had fun decorating the tiny autumn shopping/gift bag with little Mary Englebrite calendar pictures. Aren't those little brown suede maryjane's cute?

As we turned the corner off a little lane off another lane off a road everyone knows as "the East Maredpally Main Road", my friend Havovi remarked, "We think we know the city but we probably know less than five percent of it!" Most likely, much less, given the fact that is is growing both inward and outward every day.
We arrived a few minutes later at the "Dalith Women's Home", an old age shelter for destitute women, run by Kamalamma, who retired from the Indian Railways and put her superannuation benefits into this project. The Home offers a space for women who find themselves without caregivers or support, some single and destitute, some abandoned by their families, and others who simply have no place to go. There are around 30 people living in this rather ramshackle semi-detached building which is itself on the edges of an area that has been forgotten by city developers. An old railway track runs just by it, providing a huge source of entertainment to the children in the area, who run to watch the occasional goods train or engine on its way to the Lallaguda yard, less than half a kilometer away. Across from the Home is a small open space where the children play, The children are mostly from the surrounding basti; some are the children of the young women who, like their older home-mates, have nowhere else to go. One arrived at Kamalamma's doorstep heavy with child, her older son barely two years old. There are others like her, who have now become part of this support system, lending their youth and their agility to keeping the place going from day to day.
Kamalamma keeps the place going with whatever help comes her way. A few charitable groups have pledged short term or incidental support, a wet grinder here, a water pump there, a few cots and blankets now and then, and the occasional visitors like us who, bemused by the extent of need, give a little and leave feeling inadequate and helpless, promising to come back with more. "What do you need?" we ask her. (The question seems a bit superfluous, when Need, with a capital N, is everything they feel.) "We don;t refuse anything," she responds. "Everything that is given can be made use of in some way." So we put our minds to work, thinking of all the excess in our own lives that we can slough off, and make our hearts and minds a bit lighter in the process.
Notebooks for the children to use, sheets and blankets for the old women, money for a pucca roof, vessels and containers for food, clothes, ...and then all the other things that do not bear listing because we know it will be an aeon before they are given...better sanitation (the 35-odd people have use of three toilets located just outside the facility, their metal doors almost falling off the hinges), a more organized layout..the list of needs is endless. Havovi, who has asked about the toilets, remarks, "I read the other day that India has more cell phones than toilets!"
We talk to her and some of the other women for a few more minutes and make our way back to the car, which now looks indecently large in this small space that goes for a road, next to the railway line. And as we prepare to leave we hear the sound of a train approaching. One little girl runs toward the track, in anticipation of the view she will soon have, a promise of the means to escape the known, and everything it represents. Other children run toward the track, too, and soon one of the young mothers comes out, shouting at them to keep a safe distance. One of the little girls has never seen a train before, and the others begin to describe it to her. The engine comes lumbering up the track. That's all it is, an engine, moving tiredly on a track that few people, in the railways and elsewhere, remember.
We leave the little girl, dressed in a bright red salwar kameez that's a bit too big for her, her eyes wide and hopeful, as she stares at the receding engine. And we leave the little island of support that Kamalamma has created for the women, feeling a bit sad at how much more needs to be done. It's easy to feel overwhelmed and turn away, cloaking ourselves in the idea that we cannot really do much. It's much harder to stay and do the little one can. It might just mean that a little girl in a red salwar kameez is able to look at other things in wonder, and in hope.

The theme of the Seventh International Dyke Conference (IDC7) is 'Dyke Swarms: Keys to Paleogeographic Reconstruction'. It will concentrate on mafic dyke swarms and related igneous associations, e.g., sills, kimberlites, syenites, carbonatites, volcanics, etc., with a special emphasis on paleogeographic reconstruction based on geological comparison and paleomagnetic studies. The IDC7 continues the every-five-year tradition started in Toronto, Canada in 1985 by Prof. Henry C. Halls ( University of Toronto). Subsequent IDCs were held in Australia (1990), Israel (1995), South Africa (2001), Finland (2005), and India (2010). The aim of this First Circular is to spread information such as date and place of the conference, to ask advice on the topics, pre- and post-conference field trips, key events including social events, to seek financial support and advertisement intentions. A Second Circular, with detailed information, especially the registration details will be distributed in early of 2016. And finally, a Third Circular, with all the Scientific Program and last-minute practical details, will be posted a couple of weeks before the conference.
Here are the topics from IDC6: Regional maps of dyke swarms and related magmatic units Dykes as plumbing system for Large Igneous Province Giant dyke swarm and supercontinents Geophysics of dykes with special reference to paleomagnetism, new aeromagnetic maps and remote sensing studies Petrology, geochemistry and petrogenesis of dykes Emplacement mechanism of dykes Geochronology of dykes Synplutonic mafic dykes Alkaline dykes, including kimberlites, lamproites, lamprophyres and carbonatites Dyke swarms and planetary bodies Links to mineralization Miscellaneous: Any other research related to dykes

I got a call yesterday, shortly before noon. The cardiologist called to say my heart is essentially fine. The mitral valve leaks as it does for many people. Whatever I'm doing, I should keep doing it because my heart is not so bad. At least all the coaches can rest easy now. No one ever did answer my real question but I think I know the answer to that one as well. I have a top heart rate to monitor. What I want to know is why this is so difficult and why my rate goes so high so fast. I'm going to assume it has something to do with my age. Rats. There is nothing I can do about that except keep getting older.
Since my schedule is all off this week, I thought I would go to the box again today and get it over for the week. I used to go on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays but I hate partner WODs and those are on Fridays. I always feel like I'm holding someone back. Charlie said he would have appreciated having me there and I wouldn't have held him back. He is new to CrossFit and that may (and that's just a MAY) be true.
But my option for this week was to go or not go because I hadn't already been there two days in a row. So I decided to go and have the weekend off. So I set my alarm and got up and to the box in the still dark.
Charlie wasn't there today. Cindy and Todd were there and so was I. Not a good number for a partner WOD. And the WOD. What in the hell was I thinking? If I had seen this before I got there, I would have stuck with my Saturday schedule. But I didn't and there I was and so I was going to have to do this.
Warm-up was another row. My abs are still sore from all the sit-ups, but not nearly as bad as yesterday. I could get out of bed without wincing, but sneezing was not a good idea. The row hurt, but not as bad as yesterday. Then we did a bunch of other stuff and were declared warm.
Today's WOD as written:
push press
4 x 3 @ 50%
partner WOD – one partner working at a time
Death by Burpees
Blue and White
3 rope climbs
50 burpee broad jumps
50 over the parallette burpees
50 over the box burpees (24/20)
9 rope progressions
25 of each type of burpee
Todd's shoulder wouldn't work right with burpees. I said he could walk them in and out and it would work without jolting his shoulder but he didn't like that so he did something totally different. That left Cindy and me to be partners. I'm good with weenie and always do Red. She does White. I was willing to count each of my burpees as two and then do the 50 reps but Coach Jason just picked different numbers.
Our WOD was 12 rope progressions and 35 of each type of burpee. We could split them up any way we wanted. I had to find my gloves in my bag because I'm not doing anything with the rope without gloves on ever. I'm just too weenie for that at all. If boxes eat shins, then ropes devour hands. There is far more DNA on the ropes than on the edges of the boxes.
We split the progressions in half and then started on the burpees. I did three and then Cindy did five and we did that over and over and over and over. Once, I lost my mind and did four because I forgot to stop. It made my heart rate go too high and wasn't worth the effort.
I also didn't jump over a parallette but used a dumbbell and jumped over that. We both used the same 20" box. We finished in 13.16 and I'm absolutely positive I'm glad I showed up. But I still hate burpees no matter what is added to them.
Calculating the numbers here at home and using math and stuff, I figured I did 3 of every 8 burpees so 3/8 of 105 means I did 40 burpees and Cindy did the rest. If Charlie had shown up and we had done the red together, I would have been responsible for half of 75 or 38 burpees so I did okay with my WOD today. But really, all those burpees?
