Judge Rules Local 'Right to Work' Illegal
by Michael Byrne | February 05, 2016
A federal judge has ruled that a Kentucky local government meddled illegally in efforts to undermine workers' rights, passing a so-called right-to-work ordinance. These types of ordinances are pushed by anti-worker organizations like the right-wing American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC)
Twelve local jurisdictions in Kentucky have passed such ordinances since 2014, despite a ruling by former Kentucky Attorney General Jack Conway they were illegal. The local ordinances were a top priority by ALEC, but AFSCME Indiana-Kentucky Council 962 fought back.
In his ruling, invalidating an ordinance passed in Hardin County, U.S. District Court Judge David Hale said that only state governments can opt out of the federal law that allows "agency shop" agreements that require employees to either pay union dues or "agency fees" to an organization elected to represent them by the majority of workers in a bargaining unit.
"ALEC thought it could push this through local councils – and it's trying the same thing in Illinois and other states," said Debra Garcia, executive director of Council 962. "But we had good reason to believe the law was on our side, and this ruling confirms it. Now we have to redouble our efforts in the state legislature to make sure this right-to-work scam isn't revived."
While Kentucky's new governor, Matt Bevin, has taken aim at state employees, pro-worker legislators hold a slim lead in the state House of Representatives. Council 962 will be working hard to ensure that workers' rights are not diminished further. The current session is expected to continue until mid-April.

Latino Community Leaders Meet in Washington D.C. to Talk About HIVBy Miguel Gomez October 5, 2010 This article was cross-posted from the AIDS.gov blog. Miguel Gomez is the AIDS.gov Director. There were two events last week where leaders from the Latino community came together to talk about HIV. The first event was a meeting at the White House on implementing the National HIV/AIDS Strategy in the Latino Community. Watch a recorded video of the event here. In addition, the Latino Commission on AIDS (LCOA) and the National Latino AIDS Action Network (NLAAN) recently sponsored a Congressional Briefing: Addressing Health Reform and a National HIV/AIDS Strategy for Latino/Hispanic Communities. In a Capital Hill room filled beyond capacity, the large audience heard several key messages about the approach of National Latino AIDS Awareness Day (October 15) and learned about the impact of the epidemic on Hispanics/Latinos. All of us in attendance heard how the National HIV/AIDS Strategy is an important means to enhance the collective response to the epidemic among these communities. Learn more about:

There are a million variations of the 'Very Sexy' line and my sample was not marked with a year or anything to tell it apart. I tried to use my nose and listed notes to figure out which one it was but by this point all I could smell was a musky fruity floral in my nostrils, the combination of sniffing one too many extremely interchangeable fragrances. I'm sorry I can't be more helpful.
The Best Of Victoria's Secret
This is a classic as far as VS fragrances go. It takes me back. This was my 1st VS perfume. At the time the Victoria's Secret boutique took itself seriously and could be found in upscale shopping districts not inside malls. Also, teenagers did not enter into the VS boutique. It was always women in their' 20's and 30's. This fragrance and Rapture comes from a time when you could go in the store, look at lingerie, feel like a VIP because the sales ladies were so helpful and lovely instrumental music would play as muzak.
Very Sexy opens with a citrus courtesy of clementine. It's also a bit of a mimosa. It smells juicy and delicious and then it gets better. A cappuccino with cream emerges. It's very realistic to the scent of cappuccino with cream. But it's the vanilla pulling it off. It's a creamy deep vanilla. It's delicious. This led me to think that this fragrance was probably meant to be worn with a cocktail dress which can be sexy but for dinner dates. This is not a seductive boudoir lingerie scent. It's sweet and creamy but suitable for an evening with a special someone.
Mature? Definitely. This was never a fruity berry scent for babies. It was a woman's perfume when VS fragrances were selling to women. Sexy vanilla cream.
Love this perfume! My boyfriend Stephen also loves this fragrance on me. It has helped to spice up our love life. So many of my perfumes can do that.
I have the body spray to this and when I say it is strong, I MEAN IT! More than two spritz then you'll be choking on the fragrance. I made the mistake today treating Very Sexy for her body spray as any other and drenched myself in it. I ended up tasting the scent in my throat! On clothing it lasts as long as a modern EDT. Note wise, I do not get cappuccino at all. All I smell is a shit-load of florals and the clementine. Believe it or not but my dad bought this for me when I was in middle school. I imagine that every time I wore this to school that I smelled like I was about to turn tricks around the corner.
I love the vintage original fragrance. It's undergone many changes and moods but the perfume that was first launched as Very Sexy was and is my favorite. In fact it was my very first perfume. I remember saving my money from my job at the age of 17 in order to get my hands on this perfume. I didn't care about the Victoria Secrets "sex" appeal thing. I'd sampled it and wanted it so bad. This is still selling out there by the way even in vintage form. I have 4 bottles of it. The fragrance opens with a sweet gourmand scent of orange flavored cappuccino, clementine and vanilla. These sweet notes are not cloying or sugary just sweet enough and definitely gourmand in nature. Foamy cappuccino, vanilla, a rose or camellia, and a definite vanilla dry down. There is musk in this scent as well and while others are saying it becomes very musky or mature, I never doused myself with this and with only one/two spritzes the sweetness of vanilla comes through, not musk. Beautiful, playful, fun, easy to wear. I love this perfume and wear it out of pure nostalgia.
This is a nice scent, as are most Victoria's Secret fragrances. I don't love it, but like it and think it could be easily worn around others. It is quite musky, about at my musk tolerance limit, especially later when the top/middle notes have dissipated. Unfortunately I don't really detect the top notes actually, cappuccino and clementine? where? Maybe since my bottle is an old one they have died out? I do smell florals, especially mimosa. So it mainly comes off as a powdery, mimosa musk. Pleasant enough, but not a favorite of mine.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this fragrance!! I always have loved how it made me feel so sexy. It's just as the name describes!! It's a nice concoction of blended scents together.
Fragrance Review For Very Sexy For Her Victoria's Secret
Top Notes: Clementine Cappuccino
Middle Notes: Mimosa Camellia
Base Notes: Musk Vanilla Amber
I have nothing but love for the Victoria's Secret fragrances. Back when I was newly turned 18 (not saying when that was lol) these fragrances were my life! Between ages 18 and 20 while working my own way through college I took various sales jobs in perfume department stores like Macys Nordstrom and Sephoras. And Victoria's Secret boutiques. Very Sexy Eau de Parfum was their best seller. Very Sexy spawned a number of flankers: Very Sexy Attraction was one of them as I recall and Very Sexy For Her the frag I'm reviewing here. I did enjoy the original Very Sexy but this is a delicious gourmand coffee scent. The cappuccino note is to die for. It's the biggest accord in this fragrance. Every note in this well-crafted scent matches up. That clementine plus cappuccino plus vanilla are suited to each other. This scent smells of clementine at first but it's not sharp nor too citrusy for me. It develops into a vanilla cappuccino smell right away. The mimosa kicks in soon afterward and a light floral note of camellia which is more of a rose fragrance. I enjoyed the scent of the cappuccino and the vanilla. The dry down is a light amber. This is very sweet and delicious. I would still wear this. I haven't in a while but rediscovered it recently. Ah, memories. This smells so good and it's sure to induce compliments from even strangers on the street. If you like frags like Lancôme La Nuit Tresor this is for you.
On me this is a sweet delicious cappuccino with vanilla scent. It's supposed to be sexy and I have yet to try Sexy Attraction but the VS perfumes are lingerie bedtime scents. They soothe you and comfort you and help you to sleep. I have matched up VS perfumes with VS lingerie and it works. Depending on the guy they should like this but it's really more about you liking it. This opens with a citrusy sweet clementine and then becomes a floral with a camellia rose combo. Camellias have no fragrance so perfumers give it a synthetic scent which ends up smelling like a rose. It's a pink rose. I love it. The vanilla shows up in the dry down and it smells so good. If you like vanilla the dominant accord here is the vanilla. The amber is also there and it smells warm and still citrusy from the clementine. This is just a sweet fruity caffeine scent. The musk gives it a unisex aspect similar to the woods in Victoria Secret Night. If you liked Night this should also be to your liking. It's musky but it's expensive musk that wears almost like leather. Elegant and warm, sweet, coffee.
I have the original formulation mini version that i got in a holiday edition gift set and it's truly just as the name says: a sexy, musky, sensual, and warm concoction that just screams passion. Just smelling it evokes desires of wanting to put on your best, slinky dress, dress shoes or heels, and going out on a romantic night on the town. It's a perfect Valentine's Day (or rather night) perfume, if you can make it last long enough on you.
I had this during my college days. My best friend gifted it to me for my 20th birthday.
I remember it as being *seriously* musky. It was great quality (meaning one or two spritzes was enough; three might kill somebody). I liked this scent, but it wasn't a love. It was a little more mature than what I was used to at age 20.
I thought I liked my perfumes strong, but this one could be easily overdone. This is a heavy scent with the most noticeable notes being musk, cappucino, amber, citrus, and more musk. :)
V.S. simply doesn't make their fragrances like this any more. This was, no doubt, made by a talented perfumer.
The issue I'm having now is whether to buy this. It has popped up for a great price online. I suppose if I don't like it, I could re-sell. But I kinda want this scent to stay back at age 20 for some reason. I'm also a little afraid the muskiness will blow me away again.
Although I do like it all I can get out of it is clementine. I could rub Cuties clementines on me and wouldnt know the difference. I only paid 50 cents at a garage sale (new .25 oz) though so I am not that dissapointed :)
A complete & utter mistake for VS to reformulate this gem. When this initially released, I wore it every day. It still is to this day, the one fragrance that netted me the most compliments from men & women alike. It just clicked with my chemistry. Sexy, feminine, & refined all at once. I miss this (original formulation) tremendously!
Why on this earth was this discontinued or reformulated? I have never owned a fragrance with cappucino note and this is amazing on opening with the cappuccino (barely there though). Mimosa, the note I associate with sensuality stands out most from 30 mins into fragrance till hour or so. And the drydown is luscious with musk, vanilla and amber. Somehow I smell leather too in it. This is gem of a fragrance. I love it!!
i am desperately in need of this fragrance i nearly wanna cry. i really miss this perfume........
This is a masterpiece by Victoria's Secret. It is very sexy (hence the name, ha), and the notes seem to dance on your skin, with the right body chemistry the scent actually seems to be performing on your skin, with various notes taking turns in the spotlight...... luckily this little VS gem works beautifully with me....... I detect a black leather note, although I don't see it listed as a note, maybe that's just my body chemistry. Mostly an evening sensual romantic fragrance, but I sometimes use it during the day, but GO SUPER LIGHT if using the day, like ONE spritz. It is a strong sensual scent. The sillage and longevity is amazing, even with the body mist version.
Wore this as a signature scent awhile back when I could not get my usual Dior Poison signature scent, loved loved loved it, just bought some and started wearing it again. My Husband recognized the scent right away as it was my signature when we were dating, and it made him nostalgic.
I think this one is the best out of the 2007 and 2012.
O my gosh. I just realized that they changed the formulation. I just bought a bottle of the 2007 one from ebay. ; ( I thought it would smell exactly like this one...oh well. All I know is that this perfume right here has gotten me the most compliments out of any perfume I've ever owned. Guys love it! But so do girls. It was fresh yet sexy!!!
When I got this one... It was a blind purchase... just smelled it on the paper strip and seemed really sweet so went for it... Later on when i personally used it... well firstly it doesn't even stay for a couple of hours...then the sweetness was kinda sticky.. So I had to use it as an air-freshner to finish up the bottle :-P
this is ma fave of all time i feel like a celeb wearing this every1 wanna wat im wearing and where i got it:):):)<3
Very Sexy for her ..
This version is the best .. I totally hate the pepper in (Very sexy 2007)..
It smells fresh spicy, deep and musky, this is the star of summer nights with the best lasting power & sillage over all VS scents.. lovely !
Very Sexy for her... yes it is!
To my untrained nose I get the initial citrus aroma for about 30-45 minutes then she goes almost straight to the sultry, sexy base of musk and amber.
I don't get much of the fruity smell that people are talking about. Sorry I couldn't be of more help...
Victoria's Secret, Very Sexy for her... the name fits!
I loved this stuff back in collage. I carried it around with me and the bottle got stolen :( It's a strong scent def for going out in!
This is the only perfume worn that has recieved a compliment from a man. I guess they reformulated this into Very Sexy?
Yes, the BF just confirmed it. He said the 2002 smelled better than the newer version. Said it was stronger and better w/ my skin chemistry. Sigh guess I'll have to find older bottles.
It really is VERY SEXY. I can't think of a more perfect word to describe it but Sexy, 'nuff said. I don't recommend it for daytime wear though. It leans a bit towards the heavy side.
My girl has this and let me tell you when she wear this I wanna eat her alive! :---)
I bought this the other day and I really LOVE this scent.....I just can't get it to stay more than twenty minutes or so. Maybe I need some lotion to help lengthen the wear....I don't know though. Tons of the most is overpowering....maybe I should wear the lotion and just two squirrel of the mist.....I'm not sure how to wear this...its either overpowering or disappears...but the smell is pretty sexy. I like it.
This was the first perfume I had when I was 15. Until now I'm still wearing its scent. I've already consumed 9 bottles of this. I just totally love its scent.
I have a love/hate relationship with this perfume. I wore it for the first time on a trip with my ex-boyfriend in the Dead of winter to Canada so it will always remind me of that trip. I don't like it every day. It smells like something my grandmother would wear thinking she was smelling young. But when I want to feel sultry and warm, this manages to creep its way to the top of my choices. A good evening staple. For Her 2 is much younger and fresher smelling and better for daywear.
I used every last drop of this perfume. It was such a sexy smell. I definitely made lot of memories while wearing this perfume :p I wore it when from ages 21-25 or so. Its very strong and I wouldn't recommend wearing any time except in the evening and on cool days. It definitely gets strong in the summer.
This is the first and only perfume I own that has the word "sexy" on it :). It's sweet and vanillic. I'll say it's pretty lovely, but it's just not my scent. The name sexy is suitable. Night time perfume.
TOTALLY SEXY! This is my "date night" perfume. I wear it usually at night, but i LOVE this fragrance. It`s flirty, fun, and sexy.
I disagree with this being for an older woman, other VS perfumes might be (Breathless) but this one is "all ages" IMO :)
I quite like it, not my favorite, but will definitely wear it on occasion. Hard to describe the scent, it reminds me of couple Avon perfumes actually, suitable for fall / winter, both day and night.
This scent is very woodsy, musky, and warm to the point of being hot. Whenever I wear it, my boyfriend cannot keep his hands off me. He absolutely loves it and requests I wear it all the time. Very Sexy indeed. :)
This is a decent fragrance. It is a bit strong on the pink pepper though! I wear it every so often when the mood strikes me. I don't find it overly sexy though but maybe men do? If you like pink pepper you'll love this.
This perfume is SEXY, and would definitely work with someone if they had the right chemistry. Unfortunately, on me it turned into something slightly metallic - warm musk, spices, even citrus, but with a screechy metallic note in there somewhere, as if a green perfume was accidentally thrown in into the drydown. :(
BUT it's very wearable, but I can't imagine a teenager wearing this unless they wanted to seduce someone!
When i think of sexy, i think of warm, sensual and mysterious so i would never consider 'Very Sexy Her' to be 'sexy'. It is a citrus based fruity floral (the clementine note is very dominant), a very playful and light fragrance which is better suited for casual wear than for romantic interludes. "very flirty" would be a more appropriate name.
This is one of the first perfumes I ever owned (and still own). I can think of a few perfumes that are more sexy than this one, but Very Sexy is very wearable. On me, I smell a light fruity sweetness with just a hint of spice. After smelling other fruity florals, I noticed that Very Sexy has a similar light aquatic quality that slightly reminds me of the opening notes of Cool Waters. It's subtle, and unless you've tried other fruity perfumes you probably wouldn't notice it, but it's there. The floral notes aid in the building of what I consider a lucious aroma--preventing it from being too fruity and too syrupy. The end notes, to me, are a staple in my choice of perfumes. The combination of vanilla, amber, and musk is always a plus in my book because it allows the perfume to achieve a tenderly sweet, well-rounded sexiness. This is my favorite of the Victoria's Secret line.
this gives me such a migraine everytime i wear it..wish i could use the 2 huge bottles i have but i cant, it just gives me a headache, not sure why..too bad :(
wow this frangrance is amazing men love it! its sooo sexy i dont even know how to describe this scent it sweet but not too sweet its perfect -veryy romantic
I was given this perfume as a gift last year and it was so great after the first time I tried the perfume.this perfume is a great mixture of many differnt herbs but the vanilla that is in the perfume brings everything together for a sexy feeling.this perfume is for women of all ages.it doesn't matter what age us women are we all want to feel sexy for ourselfs as well as that special someone. if you want a self esteem boost this is a good place to start.
To start.
I don't care for most of the Victoria's Secret scents. I don't purchase any of their lotions anymore. This is a nice one for me though. I definitely pick up on the berry accord, but it's not foody. It was also not very spicy on me. It reminded me of what someone's hair would smell like coming out of a high-end salon. The scent also reminded me of dressing up in heels and a slinky outfit for night on the town, so I guess it does lend an air of sexiness in that way.
A sexy perfume for sure, but it's not really a perfume that is unique or sets itself apart from others of this type. I don't get the coffee note that is supposed to be in this one. Instead, it is musky with a dab of vanilla.
argh.. why tehy had to put suc ha name on it.. wil ltry it anyway when I 'll have a chance, but the name is a spoiler
I got it yesterday. It simple, modern and fresh. I don't see older woman wearing it though, it's too flirty...although those hot 40's, 50's and 60's can be pretty flirty these days ;)
More suitable for older woman, but very sexy in a traditional way. Compliment getter.

If you're not adverse to a little module usage then Module::Locate can help you out:
So this will grab the source of $mod (and populate %INC), add strictness to the source and finally evaluate the new strict source, checking eval for errors too.

This is the fourth article in a five-part series that details exactly what you need to market your restaurant and make it a success.
Getting the word out about your restaurant takes more than simply printing postcards and launching a website. You have to get the right message in front of the right audience at the right time. Here are some tips for restaurant marketing distribution:
Direct mail is the best way to reach your patrons. A calculated direct-mail campaign represents an investment in profit and should be approached with dedication. Consult a list broker or use the mailing list building tools available at PsPrint, develop a database of your own customers and define a mailing list comprised of likely patrons. Repetition is key: Instead of a one-postcard campaign, develop a strategy that incorporates multiple direct mailers during a six-month period. This contributes to your restaurant branding efforts and allows you to develop long-term relationships with your customers. By the time you launch your incredible offer, you'll have established trust and credibility and will earn a higher response rate.
Week One: Send a menu and brochure introducing your potential clientí¨le to your restaurant. Offer a discount or free appetizer to anyone who visits. Week Six: Send a flyer that highlights your upcoming entrée specials. Week 12: Send a postcard advertising an upcoming event and a call to action for your patrons to make VIP reservations fast. Week 18: Send a calendar loaded with images of your tasty menu selection. Week 24: Send another menu for good measure. Week 30: Send a greeting card for the next holiday inviting patrons to a free meal on the house. This will help build customer loyalty and attract new customers to your place of business.
You can deploy advertisements online or in the yellow pages, newspapers and magazines; as well as on the radio, television, billboards and any number of published mediums. You can also take your ads street side by placing flyers and posters on community bulletin boards, and university, office and industrial social hot spots. Word of mouth is the most powerful advertiser for restaurants, so make sure friends, family and colleagues know what you do and are prepared to spread the word for you. You should consider handing out stickers and business cards to everyone you know for distribution (include a mini-menu on the back!).
Test, track and tweak - these three Ts will help you develop winning restaurant print marketing campaigns. Always test different variations of your marketing materials on small portions of your mailing list before launching the full campaign. Sometimes a single word change can make a big difference in your return on investment. Track your response rates and record who responds so you can further define what neighborhoods your customers live in, what appetizers and meals they buy, and how much they spend. Tweak your subsequent print marketing materials to cater to this audience. Keep a database of customers and respondents, and evaluate recognizable trends so you can customize your offers. This is just another form of knowing your customers, but from an analytical perspective it allows you to make intelligent business decisions based on honest, proven statistics.

It may be precious.. But it isn't you, pal!
I wanted a pal to keep me company while doing errands. I ended up with a muscle car engine in my pants. Sure, it had the bite to back up that bark, but the bark is so loud, I should have just run away! If you are looking for a discreet panty vibe, this is the wrong product for you. The Precious Gem Panty Pal has great ideas behind it and has a promising design that just needs to be tweaked, but the cons outweigh the pros. What a disappointment, but it was worth a try.Published:

Terry from Raleigh, NC
So the news of Perry being placed on injured reserve means he's out for the season? I just get confused if it's the IR exempt or not.
Teams are only permitted to designate one of their players on injured reserve as qualified to return to active status. The Packers have designated
Anthony from Baraboo, WI
Are the Bears a prime example of stats not telling the whole story? They have that vaunted Bears defense, but the teams they have beaten are collectively 21-36. That means the average team they have beaten is 3-5. Is it really fair to call the Bears defense the best in the league when they have yet to win against a quality opponent? Are the Bears being overhyped because they play in the third-biggest market?
Throw your stats away; you won't need them anymore. We're going to find out all we need to know about the Bears over the next two weeks.
Giovanni from Chippewa Falls, WI
It seems this season there is a large amount of rookie talent all around the NFL. Are college football programs doing a better job getting players prepared for the pro game or are we just seeing a very special draft class?
It's a trend. Last year, even without OTAs or an old-fashioned two-a-days training camp, rookies set an NFL record for starts. Why is it happening? I think it's for two major reasons: injuries and the salary cap. Injuries have reached epidemic proportions, which means guys that were targeted for slow and even development are being thrown into the action out of necessity. Also, players that occupy major chunks of their team's salary cap have to play or their team is at a great disadvantage. That means high-round picks are being rushed into action. When you put it all together, what it means is this: Football is a young man's game.
John from Port Edwards, WI
Can PUP players practice with the team before being activated?
Not until they reach the three-week window at midseason. By the end of those three weeks, if the player isn't assigned to the active roster, he's effectively on injured reserve and he's done for the season.
Eric from Grand Rapids, MI
I read an article that talked about Chip Kelly's strategy to almost always go for it on fourth-and-short, and math backs it up. It also said how he would thrive with the strategy if he did coach in the NFL. Your thoughts?
They said Steve Spurrier's "Fun and Gun" would be a big hit in the NFL, and the egg it laid was so big it was embarrassing. Defensive coordinators around the league were making fun of him. College football and pro football are very different games. They should never be compared. They should be enjoyed separately. I enjoy college football for its unpredictability, like the two No. 2s Notre Dame had on the field for the missed field goal that saved their undefeated season last Saturday. You won't see that happen in an NFL game. How could the back judge have missed it? He was staring right at them. It's his job to count the defensive team and check the numbers. An Irish blessing: May your team play with courage and honor, and the officials look the other way when two players on the field are wearing the same number.
Ricky from Beloit, WI
I like the idea for expanding one additional wild-card team per conference. The way it goes is only the No. 1 seed will get a bye in the first round.
It's a good plan because it deepens the TV playoff pot by two games, but doesn't add to the length of the playoff schedule. Eventually, it's going to happen.
Kevin from Orland Park, IL
We've now lost three starting linebackers for the season. Is there a conceivable point where these losses might be too great to overcome? When should I know to worry?
I think the Packers have reached the point of saturation at linebacker. You should begin worrying. Let me know how that works for you.
Jim from Rockford, IL
Vic, you side with the Packers' decision not to score last week when near the end zone, stating you shouldn't try to run up the score, nor do you want an injured quarterback. On the other hand, you state that players should waive the fear of injury to help the team. I don't think you can have it both ways. These men are paid quite generously to play a game we all love. Injuries come with the game they play.
You worked very hard to get home with that package of logic. I won't need to work nearly as hard to get home with mine. The goal is to win the game. That's all. If you can close out an opponent by taking a knee, then only a fool would do something more than that. By the way, I wasn't referring to the risk of the quarterback being injured while trying to score again, I was referring to the risk of angering your opponent so that the next time you face him he might, well, you know, take a shot. Running up the score isn't professional. It's not respectful of the men that play the game and their need to avoid unnecessary dangers.
Mike from Socorro, NM
With the legalization of marijuana use in Colorado, are Denver players now exempt from the NFL drug policy as it relates to pot?
No, but I think sports writers are allowed to smoke marijuana in Denver now.
Dustin from Salt Lake City, UT
Vic, did you hear Rodgers' response to hearing that McCarthy wasn't a fan of his fumble recovery? "Well, I'm not sure why he feels that way," Rodgers said. "But that, in my opinion, was one of the better plays of my career. It's one of those moments where you can surprise people, you can surprise yourself, by making an important play like that."
I wonder if Mike McCarthy was a fan of that tackle
Doug from Estherville, IA
Every year, the trade deadline comes and goes with a rumor or two, but nothing really happens. There has got to be a way the league can make trades easier to pull off in midseason, to add even more excitement to the season. Any ideas?
All teams should be required to make one stupid trade and one ridiculous free-agent signing that'll devastate the team's salary cap, just for giggles for the fans.
Ryan from Fort Collins, CO
As a player nears the end of a long career, it's not about whether he has young speed, it's about whether he has enough speed. The difference between enough speed and not enough speed is the cliff all players go over if they play too long. One day, it's over. It's that sudden and distinct. You'll know when it happens because you won't have to ask.
Joe from Saint Paul, MN
If you have a passing QB and a running QB on the field, what does the passing QB do on plays designed for the running QB?
He goes in motion, or he lines up far from the ball. The defense has to assign a player to him, which effectively means the passing quarterback has "blocked" that defender. This isn't new stuff, it's just not common stuff, but I think it's going to be common because college football is loaded with quarterbacks that can run and take a hit. Why not utilize the talent available to you?
Stifel from Barcelona, Spain
Reading McCarthy's weekly column is very insightful. He seems like a man that has unflappable moral fortitude and strong convictions. I would imagine someone that is in charge of 50 behemoth men would need those things. Is that why you call him a great leader of men?
All great leaders of men have the respect of the men they lead. It begins with that. Chuck Noll's players loved the fact that Noll treated them as professionals. It was new to that generation. They had tired of the drill instructor and win-one-for-the-Gipper silliness. They wanted to be treated as men who were playing this game because it's what they did for a living. Chuck never did endorsements because he believed endorsement money needed to be reserved for the players, because they had short careers and had to realize all the gains they could while they could. That's the kind of stuff Noll's players loved about him. Tom Coughlin was a taskmaster. He enforced ridiculous rules and fines that angered his players, but they respected him because he never asked them to do anything he wouldn't do himself. He asked his players to match his dedication, and that's not an unfair request. In their combined efforts, they found respect and mutual resolve. Mike McCarthy has his players' backs at all times. I've never heard him throw one of his players or the team collectively under the proverbial bus. McCarthy promotes a feeling of togetherness without allowing for softness. He's a players' coach who can flip the switch real quick if a player isn't a coach's player. Those are three different coaches with three different approaches, but they've all been successful because they have their players' respect.
Billy from Lafayette, IN
I asked my dad and he is unsure but maybe you know. What highway has the most stadiums on it? I know that I-65 has at least three: Chicago, Indy and Tennessee.
I can think of seven (New England, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, Jacksonville and Miami) that are serviced by I-95.
Tyler from River Falls, WI
It seems like a receiver can get officials to throw a flag for pass interference by making the flag-throwing gesture. It has gotten to the point that whenever one of our defensive players defends a pass successfully, I automatically look for a flag.
I think fans should moan, groan and boo every time the home team throws an incompletion and a defensive player actually made an attempt to defend against the pass. Based on my statistics, a pass interference penalty results once every five times the crowd whines and cries. It worked for Notre Dame last Saturday. An Irish blessing: May your coach be bold and bright, and may the officials call pass interference on fourth-and-six when you're trailing by 14 points in the fourth quarter.

Edmonton, AB – Weighing in on the debate about a new hockey arena in the Edmonton downtown core, a new Ipsos Reid poll of 440 Edmonton residents has found a strongly-negative response to the idea of providing City funding to help build the arena.
Three quarters (76%) of Edmontonians 'disagree' (46% strongly/31% somewhat) that 'The City should provide taxpayer's money for a new Hockey Arena. With nearly one half strongly disagreeing with this notion, it is unlikely that further debate on the issue would make them more receptive of the idea.
Desiring a new arena despite the cost to city hall and taxpayers, one quarter (24%) of Edmonton residents 'agree' (6% strongly/17% somewhat) that the city should provide funds to help build the arena.
These are some of the findings of an Ipsos Reid poll conducted between Aug 14 and 17, 2009, on behalf of Global Edmonton. For this survey, a sample of 440 adults living in Edmonton from Ipsos' Canadian online panel was interviewed online. Weighting was then employed to balance demographics and ensure that the sample's composition reflects that of the adult population according to Census data and to provide results intended to approximate the sample universe. A survey with an unweighted probability sample of this size and a 100% response rate would have an estimated margin of error of +/-4.7 percentage points 19 times out of 20, of what the results would have been had the entire population of adults in Edmonton been polled. All sample surveys and polls may be subject to other sources of error, including, but not limited to coverage error, and measurement error.

Mental illness in pop culture: "Silver Linings Playbook"
39 comments:
I hope you foot heals soon! I saw Silver Linings Playbook. I took it as a "slice of life" movie. I feel Pat worked really hard to overcome his illness and was able to use "dance" as a way to focus his energy. I loved the movie! Whether or not it was a realistic view of mental illness, I can't really say. However, I do think having positive outlets for any illness can't hurt!
ReplyDeleteHopefully you don't need surgery on your foot. You're in my thoughts friend and I hope it heals more quickly than anticipated!
I did see Silver Linings Playbook and I found it to be one of the best movies I've seen in the last decade. A truly wonderful film indeed.I haven't seen the movie yet, but I really want to. I decided that I am going to see it once it comes to DVD.
I like they way you told the review. No spoilers, at least not for me. I had been kind of reluctant to see the movie... wondering how it would make me feel afterwards. Would I like it? Would I not like it? Would it trigger depression or anxiety for me?
I know that's alot for me to wonder about myself. However, with the sore spot I am in these days with depression/panic I have to be cautious even about what I watch on tv/movie.
Thanks for the review!
Hope the foot is healing more and more and more each day bring you relief... I know things like this take time.Hi Tina, I too am hoping your foot heals without needing surgery, that will be my prayer for you as well as that you continue to adapt to your circumstances without additional pain and anxiety.
I have not seen the movie. I did see it was nominated for Oscars and knew a tad of the subject matter. Some movies about mental illness or OCD can be detrimental for me, though others are helpful and I'm not sure what makes the difference. It could just be purely my mood at the time. I am glad you shared your thoughts on the movie with us. I just read a book which I plan to post about, and the character is supposed to have OCD and I was confused because though I saw obsessive behavior, I did not see OCD per se. I kept wondering if the author was confused.RepliesKrystal Lynn, thank you. Some of the movie wasn't easy to watch, but it didn't bother me overall because the movie's message was so hopeful. I'll look forward to reading your post about the book.
DeleteI have been diagnosed with OCD and DeNiro's character reminded me a lot of myself, although I also have wondered whether what I have is OCD or merely obsessive thinking. According to the therapists I've seen, it's OCD. Superstitions are a huge part of my problem, and it was interesting to see this side of OCD portrayed on film.
DeleteAlexandra, I responded to your comment below, too, and I'm really glad you shared about your type of OCD.
A Jones fracture - I think that is what Pierce had. He has to go back again in 6 months because of it being in a growth plate area of the foot.
That movie sounds really good. I haven't been to a movie in years, but maybe I'll track it down once it's on dvd.I think it was one of the best films I've seen in years. I loved it. I have several bipolar family members. One of them saw the movie with us and thought that the portrayal was well done.
I hope you don't need surgery on your foot! Crutches are such a pain, be careful. :)Tina, first of all, I hope your foot heals well and quickly, and that you won't need surgery. Of course you can deal with whatever comes your way, but I'll put in a prayer for no surgery.
I also liked "Silver Linings Playbook" a lot, though I understand what you are saying about the OCD component. I liked that the characters were all real, believable people, and felt there was a fine line between the ones with mental illness and the ones without.....I mean , we all have "something," right? And I think this movie showed that.i have not seen the movie but it sounds good!!
good luck with the foot, i know crutches can be difficult, unless you are 10 ;))))The movie sounds good...but I haven't seen it. Continued prayers for your foot, Tina, bless your heart.
ReplyDeleteI've been meaning to see this movie, but haven't made it yet. Will definitely rent it soon. Thanks for the review, and I hope your foot heals well and quickly!
ReplyDeleteI loved loved loved the book, the movie was good but not quite like the book. That being said it gave me some hope that my messed up self might not always be alone.
ReplyDeleteOh I am so sorry about your foot there are so many bones in the foot just your luck to break that rare one that is too bad, I hope you prove the doc wrong.
I have not seen the movie but will be watching for it. Take care BI didn't know about this movie, but I will check it out. And oh dear about your foot. I hope it is healing well.
ReplyDeleteThe movie sounds good, so I'll definitely go check it out. I hope your foot heals well.
www.modernworld4.blogspot.comI really want to see this movie, but haven't made it yet. I can't wait now! Imagine white light in your foot to help it heal!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good movie. I think I want to find the book - I don't worry so much about books triggering me as movies. And besides, if I can get the book from my library, it would be free. It is annoying that OCD would be glossed over (inaccurately, too), but at least it sounds like a start on presenting mental illness well.
I hope your foot gets better soon. And good luck with the crutches.I thought it was striking how similar De Niro's OCD symptoms were to my own. I am very superstitious and am also obsessed with associations between things and people, just like De Niro. For example, when he said that Bradley Cooper's friend was OK to watch the game with them because he was associated with Cooper and Cooper was good luck, that reminded me of myself so much. I liked seeing this portrayed on screen because I think it's a less stereotypical type of OCD and, obviously, something I really relate to personally.
ReplyDeleteRepliesAlexandra, I'm glad you were able to relate to the character played by De Niro. I remember that scene with Cooper and his friend. I think it is helpful when we find characters in pop culture that we can relate to. De Niro's superstitions and obsessions about associations is not a form of OCD that I'm very familiar with, so this is a good lesson for me. Thank you for sharing your connection.

It might perform slightly worse in tech specs, but when playing the game it really isn't noticeable at all unless you are specifically looking at every little bit to try to find imperfections. For those of us who just buy the game and play it like a normal person we don't notice. ^^^This. The difference isn't as big as PS4 gamers are making it out to be. It's barely noticeable at all while playing. Sure, maybe when developers start taking advantage of the PS4's hardware and optimize it properly we'll start to see a little more of a difference but as of yet, I have yet to see anything substantial as people are claiming. I'm betting we'll only see bigger differences in PS4 exclusives, just like last gen. Mult-platform games will all look reasonably the same with differences being rather minor. |
I own a PS4 and XB1 and I have to say, although I do like (and probably prefer) the XB1 as an entertainment hub, I prefer my PS4 when it comes to games. Like last gen, I'll buy multiplats for the console which it performs the best on, which up to now has pretty much been the PS4. Last gen, a lot of the time multiplats played better on the 360, so that was my console of choice. I don't agree regarding the DS4. I have large hands and I never thought I'd find a more comfortable pad than the 360 but I have to say, this time Sony have nailed it, for me anyway. In fact, I actually prefer the DS4 over the XB1 controller this time round. Each to their own I guess. XBL Headwind PSN Headwindz |
LorneMaIvo posted... Anyone who would describe the DS4 as terrible, is just a rabid fanboy. Nothing more. Not terrible, but just not as good as the X1 or 360, I'm just thankful they saw fit to finally update the design for once in the last 20 years http://minus.com/lbfiUvu5vxhhzA Forza defined the Car Simulator Genre, it was always the highest selling franchise in the genre by a HUGE margin. - Izraeil |
NintendoKnight9 posted... astutecollie posted...Lmao at the derp that only listed current exclusives. Lets see the PS4s as well then... because its atrocious, and the rest of this year all the PS4 has is LBP, and FYI, X1 has sunset overdrive and 4 halo games. Dont even throw reviews around here. 3D World was awful. Ask me anything about any level in that game, I know it very well, and its easily the laziest 3D Mario game, lacking charm and everything else that made the other ones great. So reviews are worthless to me. Mario Kart 8, I was bored of it after a week like the last 4 MK64 clones. Online is useless without stat tracking or leaderboards. You cant even tell you arent playing the AI. Boring. When NSMB is the 4th best game on your system, its probably no surprise your sales are tracking lower than the dreamcast. |
DS4 is a good controller. The only real issue I had was the battery life. I do prefer the XB1 controller though because of the joystick placement. |
Also the Wii U has a better exclusives catalog than the PS4/XB1 right now but I don't expect the Wii U to have as many total worthwhile games by the end of the year. MS and Sony (and third parties) are both bringing out heavy guns and Nintendo just can't keep up. |

Or do you just assume that putting them catawampus makes them more ergonomic for some reason? Because unless you have really short toe-like thumbs it isn't going to make much difference in actual use. It amounts to you either moving your thumb down to reach the dpad or up. . They say she's low down, but it's just a rumor I don't believe 'em. |

Weekends can be rough: revisiting the weekend effect in stock prices
The performance of stock prices during breaks in trading has received considerable attention in recent years. While some studies focus on performance surrounding periods of unscheduled trading breaks (trading halts in individual stocks, circuit breakers for exchanges), other studies look at performance around periods of scheduled trading breaks (holidays, weekends). This paper fits into the second group. We revisit the "weekend effect" in common stock returns. Our focus is on two characteristics of differential returns over intraweek trading days and over weekends: the mean return, or "drift", and the standard deviation of returns, or "volatility." ; We find that in the last 18 years the volatility over weekends has been stable, at about 10-20 percent greater for the three days from Friday's close to Monday's close than for a single intraweek trading day. However, while there was a large and statistically significant negative return over weekends prior to 1987, the post-1987 results indicate no weekend drift. In short, the negative weekend drift appears to have disappeared although weekends continue to have low volatility.

Weigh Yourself WeeklyI'm normally not a fan of scale-watching. It's more important to be healthy and fit than to weigh some magical number. But regular weighing is critical for keeping your weight under control. The human body can't gain 20 pounds in a single day. It's simply not possible. So the way that we all gain weight is in slow, regular increments. If we wear baggy clothes, we may not even notice much as that weight slowly adds up. Say that as you graduate college and stop exercising as much, your weight slowly increases. Over a few years, you put on an additional 24 pounds. That is THREE full gallons of water that you are now lugging around with you. I bet if I handed you three gallon-jugs of water and told you to carry them around with you all day, you would notice that weight! But because body fat weight is added slowly, over time, all you notice is the weariness. You know you just don't have as much energy as you used to, and that it's harder to get motivated to do things. But you put it off to workload and aging. You don't stop to think that this extra fat you're carrying is having such an impact on your entire life. The way to cut this process off at the root is to keep track of what your weight is. I'm not talking about micro-managing every single day and obsessing over single pounds! We all gain and lose up to 5 pounds as we drink water, eat food, and exercise. That's very normal. But if you get 10 pounds past your target weight, it's time to take action. Cut out the sweets and sodas. Add some walking into your daily lifestyle. It's those easy steps that will get things back under control before you become obese and have serious health problems. I highly recommend getting a scale that measures not only weight but also body fat. Muscle is heavier than fat is, so it can easily be that you are "heavier" but that it is a HEALTHY weight because that weight is your muscle. NOTE: Some people write me in a panic because they gained 3 or 4 pounds in a given day and they think they somehow gained that all as fat. Usually what this means is you drank a lot of water and just haven't peed it out yet - or maybe you ate a very dense meal and it is still being digested. Low carb is a LONG term weight loss plan that lets you lose weight each week at a nice steady rate. You can never obsess about how much you have gained or lost in a given day or two. It isn't reasonable with how your body digests things. Keep eating healthily, keep drinking a lot of water and taking your vitamins. By optimizing your digestion and your metabolism, you'll see the actual FAT weight drop each week. If you really want to see the details of how this works, get yourself a scale that measures your fat percentage. These are cheap and they will show you EXACTLY how much of your body is fat and how much is "other stuff". This will help make it clear to you that you are losing fat even if you are "gaining weight" that day because of how your digestion is going.

Review: The Lover's Dictionary by David Levithan
The Lover's Dictionary by David Levithan
Review by Lauren
bought my own; all opinions are my own
Official Summary: How does one talk about love? Is it even possible to describe something at once utterly mundane and wholly transcendent, that has the power to consume our lives completely, while making us feel part of something infinitely larger than ourselves? Taking a unique approach to this age-old problem, the nameless narrator of David Levithan's "The Lover's Dictionary" constructs the story of a relationship as a dictionary. Through these sharp entries, he provides an intimate window into the great events and quotidian trifles of coupledom, giving us an indelible and deeply moving portrait of love in our time.
Review: Happy Valentine's Day, everyone! I've had this book for awhile and I figured today would be the perfect day to finally read and review it since it deals with the various aspects of loving someone. This is the first novel that only David Levithan has written (I read a book he co-wrote) that I've read. It's an interesting look into his writing because of the set-up of the book, but it definitely shows that he is a remarkable writer.
The entire book is told in dictionary entries. Each new "section" is a letter of the alphabet, and within that "section" are a variety of words that start with the letter. For example, two words in the B section are "belittle" and "breathtaking." They seem like an odd combination about a book trying to describe this indescribable notion of love but it makes sense. Love isn't all poetry and roses and happiness. Sometimes it's angry, jealous, wanting more than the person can give you.
I liked that not every word had a long entry. Some had longer stories that relate to the word, while others are a simple sentence. It was a quick read, but it's a book that leaves you thinking. Since the book follows the alphabet, some of the entries felt off because you're jumping through their relationship. As I kept reading, things started to make more sense and follow a "pattern" if you will. This isn't a reason not to read the book, but rather something I thought I'd point out before you do.
I found this image online that shows you one of the dictionary entries:

Google has just updated their terms of service allowing them to use your Google profile information in their ads. Which is worrying, because who really reads terms and conditions?
The scheme is called "Shared Endorsements" and Google describes it as follows:
To ensure that your recommendations reach the people you care about, Google sometimes displays your reviews, recommendations and other relevant activity throughout its products and services. This sometimes includes shopping contexts, like the Google Play music store, and ads. Your profile name and photo may appear with the recommendation.
For example, if you search for "Italian restaurants", you might see an ad for a nearby restaurant along with your friend's favorable review. Or, in Google Play, you might see that another friend has +1'd a new song or album.
But what Google fails to realise is that perhaps you don't want your "friends" to know that you have +1'd a new song or album. They are going to use your information and your opinions without your permission – unless you opt out.
Yes, that's right. There is a way to opt out of "Shared Endorsements". Simply go to this link and scroll down to the bottom of the page. Then uncheck this box and click "Save". Then you're out.
And in future, maybe all of us need to consider the possibility of actually reading terms and conditions.
Google thinks my photo will help sell product? How stupid can they get? http://t.co/EdFDdZFx4u

Thanks Mark,
I've known about this for a while but hadn't gotten around to opting out until the link in your article made it easy to find. -
...reading terms and conditions... almost impossible things...
This isn't anything new, as it's been in operation since November 2013. This is still an important reminder to make sure you're opted out though.
If you want a more in-depth explanation of Shared Endorsements then check out this article - http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/whats-googles-shared-endorsements-how-to-opt-out-right-now/
According to the Gizmodo article you linked to it was announced in October and came into force in November.
As I said though, this is an important article reminding people to opt out. I was just imparting extra information to the commenters who seemed to recall this having been covered previously.
Thank you for the update on Google's terms and conditions. IMHO, Google is simply copying Facebook's business plan. Why should Zucker-bitch be the only one who gets to pay his bills at the expense of the people who use his services?
It seems to only apply to Google Plus, as when I clicked through the link I was taken to a page for signing up on Google Plus, of which I am not a member. Has any one else seen this when the link is clicked through?
Mine was off too but I don't think I mind in this case. I've bought apps based on friends' recommendations in the Play store. At the time I thought it was quite useful.
...yes, and I appreciate what porn you watch too merely out of curiosity sake. Very interesting...
Wow, that escalated quickly
Slow news day huh!
Mine was off too - but as mentioned, it is good to check if you care.
This isn't a new setting. MUO have covered it before, but it's always good to get a reminder.
Maybe that why my was off
It's off by default. I've asked 4 other people to check and it's off by default for them too.
Mine was on. Tsk Tsk tsk.
mine was also unchecked
I realized this too when I went onto a friends phone my they could see my app reviews. However, This is only for things you've reviewed/+1'd so it's really no big deal.
If that setting is new, then its default when added was for my recommendations NOT to be shared, as the box was unchecked and I hadn't previously set it. It is still worth checking to confirm.
Thanks MOU for bringing this to our attention. Got to keep an eye on Google all the time, it's amazing what they sneak in through the backdoor. I understand they need to keep earning money, but they should be upfront & transparent about it. It does not matter what I think, they do their own thing anyway, which is why this kind of heads-up is good!!

I admire that dedication that went into this little Doggy diddly. But for something related to scat humour, I actually chuckled a few times. The animation though was kinda hard to see in a couple of frames (the sketching) but I'm sure it will improve with the next flash. Nicely done.

That looks great dear. Never did sawam somvar when I was in college but used to see my friends doing it. Buying those green and red bangles and wearing in this month and all the other rituals that go with this month.

I love vrat dishes. lightly spiced but so so aromatic. when I was in Delhi the canteen used to serve such foods. you reminded me of that and I know how much delicious it tastes. will make this potato curry to relive those moments.

text: The HP Veer Is Probably Too Tiny For Normal Human HandsJason Chen2/09/11 4:17pmFiled to: Hands OnHp veer hands onHpVeerPalmWebOS40EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink The HP Veer is what I imagine would happen if you gave children the right to vote on what to size things. It is tiny. The keyboard looks like the keyboard on a toy smartphone—one that you might attach to your regular smartphone as a cellphone charm. Surprisingly, I could still type relatively well on it, but I don't have sausage fingers. The device is responsive, and you can still do things on it as you would on a full-grown adult phone. But the combination of smaller keyboard, smaller screen and smaller overall size means you might look like Vince Vaughn using a bar of hotel soap when holding this thing.
