A Brad vs. Bradley midfield battle did not materialize last Saturday but Brad Davis and Michael Bradley are expected to feature at BBVA Compass Stadium on Saturday when the Dynamo host Toronto FC (8 p.m. CT; TICKETS).
That would see the U.S. World Cup teammates lock horns as rivals 24 days after they took on eventual champions Germany together in rainy Recife. Bradley missed last weekend's 4-2 Toronto win at BMO Field but played on Wednesday as his side tied 1-1 with the Vancouver Whitecaps at home.
He is one of the very best American players of his generation, so the Dynamo know that keeping the 26-year-old former AS Roma man in check will be key to establishing mastery of the midfield.
"Michael Bradley's going to be a player on their team that adds a level of composure and intellect to an already pretty smart team, as we saw last week. They break well and we can't give them opportunities to turn and run with numbers so we have to be smarter about holding our position," said goalkeeper Tally Hall. Left back Corey Ashe may be available after missing the past two games with knee problems, which would be a significant boost to the Dynamo defense.
While Houston head coach Dominic Kinnear is vastly experienced, his opposite number on Saturday is a relative novice, though he is no stranger to MLS. Ryan Nelsen is in his second year as Toronto's head coach. A former New Zealand international defender who went to Stanford University, he spent four years with D.C. United then moved to the English Premier League in 2005, playing for Blackburn Rovers, Tottenham Hotspur and Queens Park Rangers.
He hung up his cleats in January last year to take the Toronto role. The 36-year-old has mined his British connections in the transfer market, bringing in former Tottenham teammate Jermain Defoe, striker Luke Moore, utility man Bradley Orr and veteran Scottish defender Steven Caldwell, who will miss Saturday's match due to injury. Former Dynamo players Dwayne De Rosario and Dominic Oduro are also on the roster, while Brazil's starting World Cup goalkeeper, Julio Cesar, was on loan at the club from QPR before the tournament.
Defoe followed up his Dynamo double with the equalizer from the penalty spot against Vancouver, taking him to eleven MLS goals on the year. The point leaves Toronto third in the Eastern Conference, seven points behind leaders Sporting Kansas City but with three games in hand. It was achieved at a cost, with defender Mark Bloom and former FC Dallas midfielder Jackson suffering injuries that have ruled them out of the trip to Texas.
Last Saturday's match was one of the liveliest and most chance-laden Dynamo games so far this season. "2-2 at half time, a lot of goals, and obviously the third [Toronto] goal makes it really open because we're trying to chase the equalizer there. It's just guys wanting to attack a lot," said Kinnear.
For winger Andrew Driver, the flow of the match, the surroundings and the names on Toronto's teamsheet reminded him of home. The 26-year-old was born near Manchester, England, and moved to Scotland aged 11 where he played for Edinburgh side Heart of Midlothian, lining up opposite Defoe in a Europa League tie in 2011.
"Their pitch up there was quite small, a pretty British style pitch. I'd met a couple of the guys there before and I think it was quite an old British-style game. Physical, end to end, they're good on the break. We're renowned for being fairly British in the style we play so it was pretty much like a blast from the past, really," said Driver.
Houston really will face off against a British club the following Saturday, when English Premier League club Aston Villa visit the Bayou City for the BBVA Compass Dynamo Charities Cup.
"I grew up in Scotland so I don't think I ever played against Aston Villa. Massive team though, so it's going to be a good experience. I think they're one of the sleeping giants in England, it'll be nice to test ourselves against a Premier League team. They've got a massive fanbase, a great stadium, a lot of history. There's a lot of teams in England with a lot of history but they're up there," Driver said.
Before that prestigious occasion, the focus is on claiming a MLS win that the Dynamo know will only be achieved with a tighter defensive performance than they've produced in recent weeks. Last weekend a commanding position slipped away.
"Any game you go 2-0 up you think to yourself 'this should be three points today'. We've got to cut those mistakes out," said Driver. "I think we've showed we've got the quality going forward, we can score goals, we've just got to prevent the goals going in now. A few weeks ago we couldn't score and were shipping goals, now at least we've got the goals. We've got to shop shipping goals and our season could quickly turn round if we do that."

Sean McAdam notes that as the Red Sox, Rays and Yankees prepare to begin the regular season
there's the unsettling feeling that while Tampa, Boston and New York are quite likely the three best teams in baseball, one of them won't be advancing to the playoffs.The Red Sox play 15 of their first 32 games against Tampa Bay and New York.
"That's amazing, when you think about it," said an executive from a team outside the East. "I think any one of those teams would win the other divisions going away. But one of them won't make (the postseason)."
Herald (2009 preview)
Michael Silverman:
Boy, winter just flew by, didn't it? [JoS: No, it did not.] ...More from the Herald:
Just one day before Red Sox Opening Day and one eternal truth remains: I love the smell of horsehide in the morning. Very little in life is more exciting than the start of the baseball season ...
AL East: Rays, Red Sox, Yankees, Blue Jays, Orioles
The best division in baseball, bar none. In fact, the three best teams in the American League are the Rays, Red Sox and Yankees. ... The Yanks are the ultimate case study on whether money can buy happiness. ...
The Red Sox placed smart-bomb bets on John Smoltz, Brad Penny, Takashi Saito and Rocco Baldelli and while they wait to see if they collect, their payroll flexibility and farm depth allows them to pounce on the midseason trade market. There's no limit to how far the Red Sox can go if all their bets pay off.
Why don't the Rays get more love? The fluke factor vanished for me last September. I see a defending AL champ that is still young, loaded with talent and with a valuable year of playoff experience under its belt. ...

Until recently there was no such law, and it was perfectly legal to do the dirty deed while on the job. It seems that Kansas isn't the only state were such prohibitions were not in force. It also seems odd that such a law has to be enacted specifically. But, you know, this is 2018.The law states that it is illegal for a Kansas cop to have sex with someone pulled over for a traffic violation or someone detained in a criminal investigation.

Cancer Chemoprevention: Prevention is Better than Cure
Cancer is one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality throughout the world. Several diverse approaches are required for the treatment and management of cancer which include radiation, chemotherapy, and surgical removal of malignant tissues.
Consistent with the old English proverb "Prevention is better than cure", one of the multifactorial approaches to our fight against this dreaded disease is based on prevention of the disease through use of non-toxic dietary supplements, micronutrients and natural compounds. This approach is generally referred to as "chemoprevention", defined as the use of natural or synthetic agents that reverse, inhibit, or prevent the development of cancer. Thus the major goal of chemoprevention is to delay the onset of cancer as well as decrease its incidence.

U.S. Cancer Death Rates Continue to Drop, Report Shows
The Annual Report to the Nation on the Status of Cancer, 1975-2009, shows that overall cancer death rates continued to decline in the United States among both men and women, among all major racial and ethnic groups, and for all of the most common cancer sites. However, the report also shows that death rates continued to increase during the latest time period (2000 through 2009) for other types of cancer.

Colon cancer is the second leading cancer killer in the U.S., for both men and women. Yet, if everyone 50 years and older got regular screenings, about 60 percent of deaths could be avoided from this cancer.

Tea party conservative Sen. Ted Cruz on Tuesday vowed to speak in opposition to President Barack Obama's health care law until he's "no longer able to stand."
WASHINGTON — Tea party conservative Sen. Ted Cruz on Tuesday vowed to speak in opposition to President Barack Obama's health care law until he's "no longer able to stand," even though fellow Republicans urged him to back down from his filibuster for fear of a possible government shutdown in a week.
"This grand experiment is simply not working," the Texas freshman told a largely empty chamber of the president's signature domestic issue. "It is time to make D.C. listen."
Egged on by conservative groups, the potential 2016 presidential candidate excoriated Republicans and Democrats in his criticism of the 3-year-old health care law and Congress' unwillingness to gut the law. Cruz supports the House-passed bill that would avert a government shutdown and defund Obamacare, as do many Republicans.
However, they lack the votes to stop Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., from moving ahead on the measure, stripping the health care provision and sending the spending bill back to the House.
That didn't stop Cruz' quixotic filibuster. Standing on the Senate floor, with conservative Sen. Mike Lee of Utah nearby, Cruz talked about the American revolution, the Washington establishment, his Cuban-born father and the impact of the health care law.
As his talkathon entered its fourth hour, a few senators joined Cruz on the Senate floor, including Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky and Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, both of whom have been mentioned as possible presidential candidates. Cruz yielded to them for questions but did not give up his time controlling the debate.
"It is my hope, my fervent hope, that the voices of dissension within the Republican conference will stop firing at each other and start firing" at the target of the health care law, Cruz said, a clear acknowledgment of the opposition he faced.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and the GOP's No. 2, Sen. John Cornyn of Texas, opposed Cruz' tactic, and numerous Republicans stood with their leadership rather than Cruz. Sen. John Thune, the third-ranking Republican, declined to state his position.
"I think we'd all be hard-pressed to explain why we were opposed to a bill that we're in favor of," McConnell told reporters. "And invoking cloture on a bill that defunds Obamacare, it doesn't raise taxes, and respects the Budget Control Act strikes me as a no brainer."
McConnell told rank-and-file senators privately and reporters publicly that the GOP should not speak as long as the rules permit on the legislation, for fear it would give them little time to try to turn the political tables on Democrats or to avoid a possible shutdown.
Delaying tactics could push a final vote into the weekend, just days before the new fiscal year begins on Oct. 1. That would give Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and House Republicans little time to come up with a new bill.
McConnell told reporters that if the House doesn't get a Senate-passed bill until Monday, lawmakers there would be in a tough spot.
"Delaying the opportunity for the House to send something back, it seems, plays right into the hands of Senate Democrats," Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., said. "If I'm Harry (Reid), what I'd hope would happen is you wait until the very last minute to send something over to the House."
Asked whether there were any efforts in the GOP meeting to persuade Cruz and Lee to speed up Senate debate, Corker said, "The discussion came up about the advantage of having House Republicans weigh in again. And there were two senators who did not like that idea, not to name who they are."
The bill would keep the government operating until Dec. 15 and gut Obamacare.
Sen. Dick Durbin, the Senate's No. 2 Democrat, said Democrats favor a spending bill that would keep the government running until Nov. 15, which would force Congress to work sooner on a more sweeping piece of legislation — known as an omnibus spending bill — that he hopes would reverse some automatic spending cuts known as sequestration.
Despite Cruz' effort, a test vote was set for Wednesday. Reid had filed a motion to proceed to the measure, and under Senate rules lawmakers will vote even if Cruz speaks for hours and keeps the Senate in session overnight.
The Cruz filibuster, which began at 2:41 p.m., echoed the effort of Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., who in March waged a nearly 13-hour filibuster of John Brennan's nomination for CIA director over the president's authority to use drones in the United States. The Senate eventually confirmed Brennan.
Outside conservative groups that have been targeting Republican incumbents implored their members to call lawmakers and demand that they stand with Cruz and his attack on Obamacare.
"This is the ultimate betrayal," the Senate Conservatives Fund said of McConnell and Cornyn — two lawmakers up for re-election next year — in an email Tuesday morning. They pressed their members to "melt the phones," arguing that "we can't let these turncoats force millions of Americans into this liberal train wreck."
The Club for Growth and the Madison Project also pressed lawmakers to back Cruz' effort.
The issue has roiled the Republican Party, exacerbating the divide between tea party conservatives and GOP incumbents who repeatedly have voted against the health care law but now find themselves on the defensive. Republican senators said defunding Obamacare simply won't happen with a Democratic president and Democrats controlling the Senate.
"It will be a cold day in Gila Bend, Ariz., before we defund Obamacare," said Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., the party's 2008 presidential nominee. "A very cold day. In fact there may be a snowstorm. ... I know how this movie ends. I don't know all the scenes before it ends, but I know how it ends. We don't defund Obamacare."
Sen. Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga., said that as long as Obama has the power to veto legislation, "the fate of that bill is pretty much in his control, and we know what he's going to do."
Associated Press writers Andrew Taylor, Alan Fram, David Espo and Laurie Kellman contributed to this report.

There is, perhaps, no unhappier player than a closer on a crappy team. His one marquee statistic, saves, is all-important come contract time. But if a team's not winning, he's not getting the opportunities, and that'll hurt him in his free agency winter. So Craig Calcaterra's theory that Chris Perez is just openly trying to force a trade at this point may not be so off the mark.
Perez gave some comments to Fox Sports' Jon Paul Morosi, serving as color in a larger story about the challenges of small-market teams. Specifically, he addressed why the Indians can't compete with the Tigers:
"Different owners," Perez said frankly, in reference to Detroit's Mike Ilitch and Cleveland's Lawrence J. Dolan. "It comes down to that. They (the Tigers) are spending money. He (Ilitch) wants to win. Even when the economy was down (in Detroit), he spent money. He's got a team to show for it. You get what you pay for in baseball. Sometimes you don't. But most of the time you do."
And on trades:
"You can't miss," Perez said. "You have to be right. That's why I say it's not just ownership. They don't make the trades. It's the GMs. It goes hand in hand. The GMs can only spend the money the owners give them, but they pick who they spend it on or who they don't. They pick. The owners don't pick.
"Josh Willingham would look great in this lineup. They didn't want to (pony) up for that last year. … That's the decision they make, and this is the bed we're laying in."
There's not one thing Perez said that you can point to and go "that's wrong" or "that's unfair." But a story that might better be headlined "Baseball Player Tells Truth" is making the rounds as "Chris Perez Blasts Indians Management," because there are certain truths that aren't pleasant when spoken aloud. Especially not when spoken by one of the cogs in the machine, who's supposed to just shut up and do his job and tell the media that everything is hollyhocks and rainbows.
Things are more complicated than Perez makes them out to be, of course. While the Tigers have more money going out, they also have more money coming in. Mike Illitch is a pizza magnate billionaire. Larry Dolan bought the Indians only because the NFL wouldn't let him buy the Browns, because his net worth wasn't enough. The Detroit TV market is larger than Cleveland's. And maybe, just maybe, Dolan would rather turn a profit than field a winning team—blasphemy if you're a fan, but just good business sense if you're the guy that actually owns the team.
Or maybe Perez just hates the city. He's called out Cleveland fans for not showing up to games, and for being blindly negative toward any team that's not the Browns. If he's trying to piss everyone off with his truth bombs, consider the fans, front office, and ownership down, only his teammates left to go.
Before yesterday's game, Perez was asked about his comments to Fox. He didn't want to go into it any further, but he certainly wasn't walking it back:
"That's all online, right? Well, there you go."
Perez doesn't hit free agency until 2015. Don't count on the Indians keeping him around that long. But if they trade him away now, while he's still under team control for a few years, they'll actually get a fair haul for him—exactly what smart small-market teams like Oakland do to stay competitive.

Sir Alex Ferguson is hopeful that Robin van Persie and Wayne Rooney will prove to be a great partnership after they combined on their first start together for both Manchester United goals to beat CFR Cluj 2-1 in the Champions League.
United had fallen behind to a 14th-minute opener from Pantelis Kapetanos before Van Persie's equaliser looped off his shoulder from a Rooney free-kick just before the half-hour mark. The Dutchman's winner came four minutes into the second half when he deftly finished a clever Rooney ball over the top.
The pair had waited more than six weeks to be named in the same side due to Rooney's injury lay-off and match fitness concerns. Asked if they could be a great partnership in the making, Ferguson said: "It is difficult to say. I hope so. That was always going to be an issue. Everyone thought it was going to be a miracle combination.
"The best thing about them is they can both turn a game and that's an important feature of them both. It doesn't matter if they have a personal combination with each other, it's their ability to finish moves off whether it's from [Tom] Cleverley, Nani or [Antonio] Valencia. With the players we've got in the forward positions we've got a good bunch there. There are great combinations all over our side, the strength of our squad is in our attacking positions."
Of Van Persie's second he added: "The pass and the finish, both were equally as good. It was a fantastic finish but what a nice ball that Wayne has dropped in. I actually thought it was a bit too far but Robin did well to get on to it."
Van Persie also praised Rooney's contribution for the winner. "Everything starts with a good pass, so I have to thank Wayne for that. Not many players can make a pass like that. When it came to him I knew he could see that pass and give it the way I wanted it," he said. "I think it is the first time we have started together, we were both really pleased with that. We did it together tonight."
Asked if his second goal was the best of his nascent United career, Van Persie said: "Maybe, I have to look at it again. It felt good."
Rooney said: "It was a nice goal by Robin, a nice finish. But it was tough tonight, a tough pitch. We had to fully concentrate on our passing and our first touch but thankfully we managed to hold on and get the win."
The result was tempered by Jonny Evans having to be replaced late on. An ice pack was attached to the Irishman's leg due to a recurrence of the dead leg he suffered in the weekend's 3-2 home defeat by Tottenham Hotspur. If Evans cannot recover for Sunday's trip to Newcastle United, then Ferguson will have only Rio Ferdinand of his recognised central defenders available.
Ferguson said of Evans: "He got injured on Saturday with a dead leg. He's got five days now to recover for Sunday and hopefully he'll be OK."
The manager was unhappy with how his side conceded the goal to Cluj. He told ITV at half-time: "We are doing most things correct in terms of passing but losing that goal the way we did is a shocker. An absolute shocker.
"In general I thought our possession of the ball was good and you have to be that way in Europe. When you give it away it's harder to get it back. But I was pleased with that part."

Ghostbusters 3oth Anniversary
So psyched to be a part of this show! And that I was able to squeeze in one last painting before taking a 2 month 'new-baby' break. After so many years of doing pop-culture related pieces, it can sometimes seem like there's nothing original left to do, with so much overlap between galleries & shows. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE working on these shows, and am so grateful for every invite I get, but I decided this year to cut back on the amount of ones I participate in.
But when G1988 asked me about this one, it was a no-brainer. One of my favorite movies, and a big anniversary to boot. I decided to keep it simple, and base my piece off of one of the 1st scenes in the movie.. Dr. Peter Venkman's ESP test.
This show will be traveling from NYC, to LA, Chicago, & then San Diego Comic-Con. First up is NYC opening this Saturday! Info on flyer below.

Bond 23: Skyfall
Well, I guess it's a better than Quantum of Solace. Still... Skyfall isn't lighting me on fire on originality, you know? Skyfall is the title of a Tom Cruise movie. Tom Cruise would be really, really excited about something called Skyfall.
Which is the next Bond.
They announced it at a photo call today in London. Daniel Craig was there, of course, joined by Javier Bardem, the villain, and the two new Bond Girls Berenice Marlohe and Naomie Harris (she'll become Moneypenny), and M, Dame Judi Dench who showed off a little sass in her pose technique. Also confirmed to the cast are Ralph Fiennes and Albert Finney. Skyfall will be directed by Sam Mendes who apparently wants you to call them "Bond Ladies" now and not Bond Girls. Sure. That'll really stick.
Shooting begins today and the film is scheduled for release next year. The Daily Mail had a side by side shot of Daniel from 2006 when he was first confirmed as Bond compared to the way he looks today. Click here to see. A lot more grizzled, non?

On A Positive Note: Parkinson's disease didn't stop climber Greg Hatstat
Welcome to On A Positive Note, my new blog that focuses on good news. Today we lead off with an item about how Greg Hatstat fulfilled his dream of climbing a fourteener, despite challenges presented by Parkinson's disease. There's also news about another climber, some birthdays, old friends in new jobs, a wedding and an engagement.
It was 1985 and Greg Hatstat was an active, athletic 32-year-old when he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. As the disease progressed, he would often gaze at Longs Peak and wish he could climb it. He tried three times, and with each attempt, foul weather or a physical limitation would interfere.
He finally gave up.
Then in 1999, Hatstat became one of the first Parkinson's disease patients to receive Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) under the care of Dr. Rajeev Kumar at the Colorado Neurological Institute Movement Disorders Center. DBS is not a cure, but it can help control the symptoms.
So much so that at the age of 59, with a 27-year history of Parkinson's disease under his belt, the Parker resident decided to give climbing one more try. This time, his team of coaches and helpers included his doctor.

(2) The raspberry pi has taken the place of the computer and is running the Printrbot
(2a) Why not use the SD card instead of going to the trouble with the raspberry pi?
(2b) If the raspberry pi is really "running" the Printrbot, then that means the Printrbot doesn't know the difference between the r-pi and a full computer? Does that mean that Repetier is running on the r-pi? Or is there some other program that feeds G-code commands to the Printrbot?
(2c) So your printer is tuned up and set so perfectly that you don't need to attend to it at all when the print is getting set up, e.g. to clear away oozed bird's nests from the bed before the print really gets going? And what do you do after a print is finished? Do your prints pop off the bed so easily that you can "wipe" them out of the way with the extruder before you start another one?

My current issue is when I upload the .stl file it doesn't center the object. I places it towards the upper, right of the print bed and if it a large object (Raspberry pi case size) it spills over to areas my nozzle cannot reach. I can't seem to find the reason or fix to this issue.
Might anyone have any insight to this issue or point me in the right direction?

Chris Horner on diet, cafes and California
[singlepic id=57 w=320 h=240 float=right]I found it particularly rewarding to watch Chris Horner win the 2011 Amgen Tour of California. Horner is one of my favorite riders in the peloton. As anyone that has been reading my posts will have noticed, I'm primarily a Leopard-Trek fan. Or, more precisely, I'm a Voigt, Schleck, Schleck and Cancellara fan, and they just happen to still be riding on the same team.
While my Leopard Trek fandom comes form watching the guys race, my appreciation of Chris Horner is much more personal. I had the opportunity to both meet and ride with Chris Horner at last years Clark's Corner Cycling Challenge. That's where I learned that, well, Chris is just a really cool guy. There are few folks as down to earth, approachable and humble. Oh – and the guy seems to have a perpetual smile on his face.

Ford F-150 vs. Raptor - Rant
What Would You Choose?
With a look at this month's December 2013 cover, you might think we're starting a hate-club against Raptors. But that's not our intention at all. The Raptor has become a worldwide success (with the U.S. getting it and the rest of the world wanting it) and shown automakers that specialty niche versions of their products can, and do, succeed in America's vehicle market. The Raptor is like nothing offered ever before, with not only suspension and traction-enhancing refinements, but also with a special computer reprogramming option (known as "off-road mode"). This option adjusts shift points and throttle response while shutting down a lot of electronic babysitters that can greatly hinder off-road performance. Other vehicles have been offered with special suspensions and traction enhancements in the past, but the Raptor is the first to give a different electronic calibration option with the push of a button. This puts the Raptor in a class of its own.
But the Raptor is still an F-150—a top-selling truck millions of Americans own. All those "other" F-150s are not equipped with an off-road mode, a locker, special fenders, or a distinct suspension, but almost everything unique the Raptor has can be added in the aftermarket. A normal F-150 can be turned into a "Raptor killer" in every way except for that one very special feature: Off-road mode. This is where every truck build involving a newer truck can fall short of the Raptor's high mark. No matter what you do to a new truck (save for gutting all the electronics), you cannot get around things like stability control, anti-lock brakes, or traction control.
You can add quadruple-bypass shocks, 20 inches of wheel travel, and you may even be able to improve throttle response and reprogram the transmission on a newer truck, but you won't be able to shut down the babysitters without some major ECU work. That's why Raptors stand in a class of their own.
Now, all that being said, you can still make one heck of an off-road truck from a standard-issue F-150, and for a much cheaper buy-in price (see Kevin Blumer's story on page 48). Most of us cannot afford a new or even used Raptor, but a normal F-150 can be bought and built into something that will bring you almost as much fun, in a customized package you put together. Start with an old enough F-150, and the off-road mode that makes a Raptor so sought after won't even be relevant since those older trucks have none of the frustrating babysitters.
Maybe the Raptor is the end-all new truck to have. But I'm still not sure I wouldn't just want an old truck and $50,000 to see what could be built.

So happy turkey day, Serious Eaters! We wish you luck in preparing, cooking, and eating on the big day. If you haven't already subscribed to our monthly magazine, at the rate of $1.99 for a monthly subscription, or $19.99 for a year, please consider doing so.

Special tool to remove these plugs is available here.
Select single or pair from the drop down box below.
I do not offer free shipping.
Because I use postal flat rate boxes for heavy orders there is no program that can add the proper amount of shipping to every order. So all shipping is added manually by myself after you place your order. That is explained here: Shipping added later explanation
When you place an order the shipping amount will show $0.00. Soon after you place an order you will receive an email confirmation that shows the amount of shipping that was added to your order.
Shipping is $5.00 USA - First class mail.
Shipping out of the USA is $11.50 or more depending on what country.
Final shipping cost is determined by weight of the item(s) and distance from Milwaukee, WI. Shipping prices quoted are for items shipped to the Midwest area in the USA. If you are ordering a single item or multiple items the total shipping price is determined after you place the order. I try to keep my shipping prices to a minimum and use Postal Flat Rate boxes whenever I can utilize them for an order.

A UK citizen by the name of John McGlade has started an online petition to ban all private vehicles in the nation. His rationale?
This petition asks for the banning of the use of cars for private use, so taxis etc. would still be allowled [sic]. This will cut CO2 emmissions and reduce the effects of global warming. It will also create a better envirinment for all to live in with less noise, road deaths & fumes. Public transport should be massively improved to meet new demand created from this action.
So far, Mr. McGlade stands as the petition's only signatory. Maybe we should start our own campaign to mandate Mr. McGlade's use of a spell-checker. Or better yet, take up a collection to buy the poor clot a life. Who's in? [10 Downing Street]

Remember the last time Boise State won the Fiesta, Statue of Liberty hero Ian Johnson got down on one knee and proposed to his cheerleader girlfriend. Freshman o-lineman Michael Ames also experienced the spoils of victory.
This photo comes via KOGOD via Magbary, but he has no idea where it came from other than the KSK mailbag. I also have no idea who the cheerleader is, if these two are dating, or if she leaped into this position or was just scooped up and taken away by the 6'4 Ames like an un-caged gorilla for post-Fiesta Tostitos-humping. So many unanswered questions.
From the desk of KOGOD comes this update:
The woman going all jungle gym on Ames is apparently his fiancee, Boise State cheerthingie Tess Tracy.

Did you know Europeans settled in Florida before Jamestown or Plymouth Rock?

Census enumerator's dog bites a St. Louis manSunday, May 23rd, 2010
Alright, now this is just baffling. Did no one really tell this enumerator you can't have a dog with you? Especially one that's supposed to be quarantined? This could have been much worse than it was, if the pitbull were just a little angrier or even if the victim had allergies. I really hope this is the case of one person acting out, rather than a reflection of a lack of proper training – the Census should definitely not allow anyone to work with their dogs while they're out enumerating.
Here's a video from St. Louis' Fox 2:

Will the Administration Make a Run at Transparency?
Last fall, I reported that the Obama administration lagged the House of Representatives on transparency. The conclusion was driven by a study of the quality of data publication regarding key elements of budgeting, appropriating, spending, and the legislative process. (Along with monitoring progress in these area, we've been producing data to show that it can be done, to produce a cadre of users, and to simply deliver government transparency at a less plodding pace.)
There are signs that the administration may make a run at improving its transparency record. Buried deep in the FY 2014 budget justification for the Treasury Department's Bureau of the Fiscal Service, it says that funds will support "government‐wide data standardization efforts to increase accuracy and transparency of Federal financial reporting." That means the public may get better access to where the money goes — outlays — in formats that permit computer‐aided oversight.
In parallel, a Performance.gov effort called the Federal Program Inventory says that, in May of 2014, it will publish a Unique Federal Program Inventory number (pg. 4–5) for each federal program, along with agency IDs and bureau IDs. This may be the machine‐readable federal government organization chart whose non‐existence I have lamented for some time.
If this sounds jargon‑y, you're normal. Think of federal spending as happening on a remote jungle island, where all the inhabitants speak their own language. On Federal Spending Island, no visitor from the U.S. mainland can understand where things are there, or who is saying what to whom.
True machine‐readable data will turn Federal Spending Island into a place where English is spoken, or at least a some kind of Federal Spending‐English dialect that makes the movement of our tax dollars easier to track.

Brown: Tae kwon do master dedicated to martial arts
Send a link to a friend
[December 19, 2012]
When Scott Brown isn't on duty
as a deputy with the Logan County Sheriff's Department, he is more
than likely in the dojang. Brown's dojang, or house of martial
arts training, is behind the Dollar General store off Woodlawn Road
in Lincoln.
As a master, Brown says he's responsible for
accurately assessing each individual's needs and working within
individual capability and capacity for the best development.
"We try to build self-confidence and respect with our
techniques," Brown said. "We generally have anywhere from 20 to 40
students each evening."
In his teaching, Brown stresses the five basic tenets to tae kwon
do with his students: courtesy, integrity, perseverance,
self-control and an indomitable spirit.
"I've had parents tell me that their son or daughter says 'sir'
or 'ma'am' to them, because that's what I expect from them.
"I also tell them that when they honor their mother or father, by
doing that, it also means that how they behave in public also
reflects on their parenting; and that is also honoring their parents
when they're not around," Brown said.
Apparently, Brown's techniques have paid off, not only for his
many students but also for his son, Andy. Andy graduated from
Bradley University with a degree in electrical engineering and
"I got my son involved at an early age with tae kwon do, and he
currently has over 500 trophies from national and international
competitions," Brown said. "He knocked out the Scottish champion at
one of his international events."
[to top of second column]
Brown himself holds a seventh-degree black belt in tae kwon do,
as well as rankings in other forms of martial arts: the Chinese
version, kung fu, and the Japanese version, jujitsu. He is also in
the Martial Arts Hall of Fame.
"I also stress tae kwon do as not just a form of martial arts,
but a lifestyle," he said. "I'm a no-nonsense instructor that
expects individuals to use self-discipline. This means a healthy
lifestyle by eating right, getting exercise, rest, and not drinking
or smoking."
Brown's students are youth and adults, both men and women -- some
coming from out of town to get the benefits of his approach and
"Currently, we have a police officer and his son from Springfield
who take the class," he said.
The youngest he allows in his class is 5 years of age.
Considering the future, Brown said: "Maybe when I retire from the
sheriff's department, I might include younger students. That way
I'll have adequate time to give to them, so they can also succeed."

class(redirected from Celecoxib/Celebrex Long-term Arthritis Safety Study)
Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Medical, Financial, Encyclopedia.
n. in legal (not sociological) terms, all those persons in the same category, level of rights (e.g. heirs of dead person who are related by the same degree), or who have suffered from the same incident. Whether a person is part of a class is often crucial in determining who can sue on behalf of the people who have been similarly damaged or collect his/her share if a class action judgment is given. (See: class action)
classnoun assortment, bracket, branch, brand, breed, caste, category, classification, classis, denomination, division, echelon, genera, genre, genus, gradation, grade, group, grouping, hierarchy, ilk, kind, layer of society, order, ordo, place, position, rank, rating, sect, set, social rank, social status, sort, standing, station, status, stratum, subdivision, subgroup, suborder, subspecies, type, variety
Associated concepts: class action, class gifts, class interest, class legislation, class suit, definite class, gift to a class
Foreign phrases: Clausula generalis de residuo non ea complectitur quae non ejusdem sint generis cum iis quae speciatim dicta fuerant.A general clause of remainner does not include those things which are not of the same kind as those which have been specially mentioned.
See also: allocate, arrange, arrangement, classification, classify, condition, denomination, department, distribute, division, evaluate, file, fix, form, gauge, index, kind, manner, organize, pigeonhole, quality, race, rate, relate, screen, section, select, society, sort, state, status, style, subdivision
CLASS. The order according to which are arranged or distributed, or are
supposed to be arranged or distributed, divers persons or things; thus we
say, a class of legatees.
2. When a legacy is given to a class of individuals, all who answer the description at the time the will takes effect, are entitled; and though the expression be in the plural, yet if there be but one, he shall take the whole. 3 M'Cord, Ch. R. 440.
3. When a bond is given to a class of persons, it is good, and all composing that class are entitled to sue upon it; but if the obligor be a member of such class, the bond is void, because a man cannot be obligor and obligee at the same time; as, if a bond be given to the justices of the county court, and at the time the obligor is himself one of said justices. 3 Dev. 284, 287,289; 4 Dev. 882.
4. When a charge is made against a class of society, a profession, an order or body of men, and cannot possibly import a personal application to private injury, no action lies; but if any one of the class have sustained special damages in consequence of such charge, he may maintain an action. 17 Wend. 52, 23, 186. See 12 John. 475. When the charge is against one of a class, without designating which, no action lies; as, where three persons had been examined as witnesses, and the defendant said in addressing himself to them, "one of you three is perjured." 1 Roll. Ab. 81; Cro. Jac. 107; 16 Pick. 132.

At Vonage, we provide a safe and reliable means of communication in times of emergency. Vonage 911 Dialing service operates differently than traditional 911, and because your safety is important to us, you'll just have to fill out a short form during the sign up process that tells us the street address where you will be using your Vonage service.
Most of our customers (other than WiFi and Softphone customers) have access to either basic 911 or Enhanced 911 (E911) service. With E911 service, when you dial 911, your telephone number and registered address is simultaneously sent to the local emergency center assigned to your location, and emergency operators have access to the information they need to send help and call you back if necessary.
Customers in locations where the emergency center is not equipped to receive your telephone number and address have basic 911. With basic 911, the local emergency operator answering the call will not have your call back number or your exact location, so you must be prepared to give them this information. Until you give the operator your phone number, he/she may not be able to call you back or dispatch help if the call is not completed or is not forwarded, is dropped or disconnected, or if you are unable to speak. As additional local emergency centers become capable of receiving our customers' information, Vonage will automatically upgrade customers with basic 911 to E911 service. Vonage will not give you notice of the upgrade.
Certain customers do not have access to either basic 911 or E911. If you don't have access to basic 911 or E911 your 911 call will be sent to the Vonage national emergency call center. A trained agent at the emergency call center will ask for the name, telephone number and location of the customer calling 911, and then contact the local emergency center for such customer in order to send help. Examples of situations where 911 calls will be sent to the Vonage national emergency call center include when there is a problem validating a customer's address, the customer is identified with an international location, or the customer is located in an area that is not covered by the landline 911 network. In addition, if you use a WiFi or SoftPhone, due to the portable nature of these Devices, your 911 calls will be routed to the Vonage national emergency call center. Emergency personnel do not receive your phone number or physical location when your 911 call is routed to the Vonage national emergency call center.
You must register with Vonage the physical location where you will utilize Vonage phone service (Service) for each phone line. Also note that if you move your device to another location, you must register your new location - it's easy - just log into the features section of your Online Account and follow the instructions. If you do not register your new location, any 911 call you make may be sent to an emergency center near your old location. You will register your initial location of use when you subscribe to the Service. This process can take several hours, and you will receive a confirmation email once 911 Dialing has been activated for your initial location or for a newly registered location. Regardless of what address you register for a WiFi or SoftPhone, emergency calls you make from these devices will be routed to the Vonage national emergency response center.
Remember that our 911 Dialing service will not function in the event of a broadband or power outage or if your broadband, ISP or Vonage phone service is terminated.
Please see our Terms of Service for more information about our 911 Dialing feature.
¹Unlimited Calling is based on normal residential, non-commercial use. A combination of factors is used to determine abnormal use, including but not limited to: the number of unique numbers called, calls forwarded, minutes used and other factors. Subject to our Reasonable Use Policy and Terms of Service.
HIGH-SPEED INTERNET REQUIRED. VALID FOR NEW ACCOUNTS ONLY. RATES EXCLUDE INTERNET SERVICE, FEES AND TAXES. Extensions® permits inbound and outbound calling on up to two additional registered phones at the home calling plan rates. If you subscribe to plans with monthly minutes allotments (for example, U.S. & Canada 400), all call minutes placed from both your home and registered Extensions® phones will count toward your monthly minutes allotment. Extensions® calls made from mobiles use data or airtime and may incur surcharges, depending on your mobile plan. The number transfer process takes approximately 10 business days from the time you confirm your transfer request. Alarms, TTY and other systems may not be compatible. Vonage 911 service operates differently than traditional 911. See www.vonage.com/911 for details.

We'd had a particularly difficult week last month, one that included a meeting with Danny's teachers. To say that I came away from that meeting discouraged and disheartened would be an understatement. Heartbroken comes much closer.
An email from Future Horizons asking if I would like to review Temple Grandin's new book couldn't have come at a better time. The subtitle of Different, Not Less by Temple Grandin is apt: "Inspiring stories of achievement and successful employment from adults with Autism, Asperger's and ADHD."
In the foreword, Dr. Tony Attwood makes this claim: "This book has antidepressant qualities to rival those of medication." And he's totally right!
I sat there reading this book, inhaling it really, alternately smiling and crying, all the while feeling like there IS hope. There really, really is.
Grandin has done an excellent job in selecting the stories to highlight in this book. She chose an incredibly varied group of adults with a wide range of experiences. The book includes accounts from a physician, a real estate agent, a mother, and professor among many others, all adults who have found their way in a world that is not always particularly accommodating to those whose brains are wired differently.
And they don't sugar coat things. It is an honest assessment of the challenges and successes that they have had over the years from childhood on.
I highly recommend Different, Not Less to anyone who has Asperger's, Autism, or ADHD or anyone who works with individuals that do. And I recommend it to anyone looking for some inspiration, because you are sure to find it.
Check out Future Horizons' pre-sale bargain going on here. And if you use the promotional code PH when checking out, you'll get an addditional 15% off and free shipping. Can't beat that, right?

I'm going with DreadPoetJethro and his bus/shoe haiku:
Convenient FlexShoe
Gets you to destinations
Where buses don't go
What's with the popularity of haiku these days? I haven't written one since fourth grade. Of course, I'm not exactly a talent in the poetry department… I digress.
I especially enjoyed DPJ's follow-up poem:
Oops! FlexShoe is now
Known by newer name: ZipShoe
(They added Velcro)
I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm still missing "FlexShoe."

A 15-acre park at the upcoming George W. Bush Presidential Center will recreate a Texas prairie, complete with a wildflower meadow, a new blend of native grasses and even trees transplanted from the former president's ranch.
"I'm really excited about it. I think it's so pretty, so beautiful," said former first lady Laura Bush, who said she envisions people strolling along the park's paths and picnicking there once the center opens at the end of April.
The park's landscaping, which was just completed this month, recreates the kind of prairie landscape that would have existed in the area before the city was here, said Mark Langdale, president of the George W. Bush Foundation.
The latest news from around North Texas.
The wildflower meadow should include Indian paintbrush, evening primrose, and, of course, Texas' beloved state flower, the bluebonnet, when it blooms next year.
"This spring I'm feeling pretty good we'll have some bluebonnets," said the center's landscape project manager Herb Sweeney IV, a senior associate with the landscape architecture firm Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates Inc.
The presidential center on the campus of Southern Methodist University will feature a library including archives and a museum. The approximately 227,000-square-foot, three-story center, will also house Bush's policy institute.
The museum will feature a Texas interpretation of the White House Rose Garden, which Laura Bush said museum-goers will come to about halfway through their visit. She said the garden, lined with trees and roses and featuring benches and a replica of the West Wing Colonnade, will be a peaceful spot for reflection after going through exhibits covering the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"They'll be able at that point to step out, and they say if you can get out in the sunshine and outside, you'll feel refreshed and then you can go back and do the second half of the museum," Bush said.
From the rose garden, visitors will be able to see a view of downtown Dallas and also look out over the park, which will spread out to the south behind the building.
Bush said prairie restoration is important to her and her husband. They've worked over the years to restore the native prairie at their ranch in Crawford, about two hours south of Dallas. She also said it was important to use native plants and trees at the center's park.
"This is what will do the best. It'll look the best. It'll be the most attractive because it's suitable for this kind of weather, this climate that we have in Dallas," Bush said.
Among the grasses being used is a new, hardy grass made up of several native grasses and developed by the University of Texas at Austin's Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, which has been a consultant on the landscaping. Sweeney said it'll be the first large-scale planting of the grass, called Habiturf.
The park includes a sloping hill that dips into lowlands, where water gathers. The park will feature more than 900 native species of trees, including pecans and oaks. A couple hundred of those trees came from the Bushes' tree farm at Crawford, Sweeney said.
Various shrubs, prairie plants and vines will round out the landscape.
The Bush center is aiming to get the highest-level certification from the U.S. Green Building Council: LEED, or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, Platinum certification. Its eco-friendly features include green roofs in three different areas, the use of local materials, and a cistern that will gather rainwater and provide half of the site's irrigation.
Laura Bush said prairies -- which consist of 75 percent grass and 25 percent wildflowers -- are a haven for animals, giving cover to ground-nesting birds, for instance, and providing food for them. She added that the flowers will attract butterflies.
The park has already attracted one new resident: a red-tailed hawk, Sweeney said.
Another feature of the park will be a small amphitheater-like area with seating made from limestone. Limestone is a recurring theme at the center and is included in accents on the red-brick building. Langdale said all of the limestone used is from Texas, except that used for the indoor flooring in the center's Freedom Hall, a light-filled 67-feet-high open space. That limestone, he said, comes from Tunisia and symbolizes the start of the Arab Spring movement.
