Whether you're 18 or 80, if you like to run, bike, row, swim, cross-country ski or climb mountains, you have to keep an eye on the old ticker — for training and safety purposes. Those aiming for victory have to know how hard to push it; those out for basic health and longevity have to know when to throttle back. And those who take it too far absolutely have to get help fast. Here's some technology that provides instant access to your vital signs exactly when you and your helpers need it.
Calling your heart rate
Modula Instant Heart Rate app: Available for Android and iPhone smart phones, this is one of the first heart rate monitor apps that does not require any external sensors.
Likes: Your pulse reading is big, clear and seemingly accurate. Easy to use — the heart rate is sensed through the phone's camera lens. The app reads the slight change in color that occurs when the extra-oxygen-rich blood of a pulse saturates the skin. Works best with a case that does not keep your finger off the lens. The free version displays your pulse numerically; the 99-cent version adds an audible beep, historical charts that can be e-mailed and other features.
Dislikes: Slow (takes 6 seconds to get a reading). The free version does not work well in poor light. Not practical to use while running or doing other exercise. Don't throw away your old wrist-watch heart-rate monitor.
Price: Free or 99 cents. http://www.instantheartrate.com or http://www.modula.si.
Mr. Medical Gadget
Medicom MP4 Medical Identification Wristband: A 2-gigabyte wrist-top computer with a 1.5-inch screen that stores, displays, voices and transfers your medical history — up to 14 vital medical files in nine languages — to first responders, EMTs and emergency hospital personnel. It also can display time and pictures, as well as play movies, songs or FM radio.
Likes: Peace of mind. This is a big timesaver that could be the difference between life and death. Makes responses to emergencies, such as a bike crash or a heart attack, shorter, personalized and more effective. The data display in an up or down scrolling fashion, pause for easy viewing, and are easily loaded to an ambulance or hospital computer via a USB cable. It's easy to load all your vital information: physician contact numbers; medical conditions and history; emergency contacts; your medications, dosages and schedules; diet and exercise programs; and more. And when your life's not on the line, it keeps you entertained.
Dislikes: A bit heavy at 5 ounces.
Price: $115 (leather band), $125 (steel band). (808) 546-5566; medicomtech.com.
Sending out an SOS
LifeTrac Mobile Protector: A 2.5-ounce mobile emergency phone with a GPS locator, a preset 911 button and three other programmable speed-dial buttons for designated pals. If you crash and are knocked out, the GPS signal locates you.
Likes: It ensures that you will be found in the event of an accident or medical crisis. Clips onto pants or can be worn around the neck as a lanyard. It can receive calls too. The GPS provides location updates every five minutes. SOS alerts can be set to go out via Web, e-mail and text. Includes SecuraPAL, which lets your friends receive text-message alerts whenever you drift beyond the virtual borders of your standard run or bike route. It also tracks the movement throughout your workout, allowing you to calculate total distance later by logging on to your account.
Dislikes: Big monetary commitment. Also, the customer support number gave me a recording and instructions to leave a message — never a live person. Not acceptable given the cost.
Price: $187.78 with a monthly fee of $47.99 (you need to sign a two-year service pact); (888) 9-SECURA; http://www.securatrac.com.
Colorful, functional monitor
Bion Blink heart rate monitor: Simple two-button design with tricolored lights that tell you if you are in your desired training zone.
Likes: Essential info, easily accessed. Unlike many of today's overly complex heart rate monitors with their confounding arrays of buttons, with just two buttons it lets you set and scroll through the basic eight essential functions: elapsed workout time; time in, above and below your desired training zone; peak and average heart rate for your current workout; and total calories burned. Then it provides a way to interpret the signs quickly by linking them to two key physiological markers: threshold heart rate and maximum heart rate. Example: If the lights flash blue, you are exercising at a heart rate pace that is below your target zone. Red is above the zone, and yellow is just right. At the same time, you also have your numerical heart rate. It's all the info you need — at a glance. Includes a bike handlebar mount and an instruction card on how to set your training zones. Uses an analog transmitter belt, so it works while swimming (digital transmitters don't work in water).
Dislikes: Analog heart rate monitors can experience cross talk with nearby athletes also using analog.
Price: $79.95. (916) 481-7283; http://www.heartzones.com and http://www.bioninc.com.tw.

Tonight was the bestest. I held a party with my pal Jonah for a short film he made and I voiced a character for called Cadaver, and after the screening, we danced to the music of a fantastic Jean Ralphio-esque DJ whose name was actually DJ Martial but who myself and my other fashion blog buddies and Rookie staffers referred to as DJ MRAHHHHHH. He asked us for bands to check out and we gave him awful fake band names. Then he was mad at us and apologized for not being cool enough to be in our "pin frown club," because Anaheed was wearing a brooch and I guess we were all frowning. Despite our differences, we bonded over the beauty of Dexy's Midnight Runners and the Spice Girls. MUSIC REALLY DOES BRING PEOPLE TOGETHER.
Here are more photos I took for STOPS, GARAGE Magazine's user-generated style catalog where you can submit your own look and enter in gifting contests for the most creative interpretation of whatever brand or style you're wearing.
Jenna from Jezebel had a really great collar-necklace thing happening, and Claire's dress has faces on it, and the color of the faces' necks matched her socks perfectly, and she has red hair like the faces do, and I freaked out a little bit.
Brodie did a stripes-and-floral situation, also known in all circles that matter as the BEST kind of situation, plus schoolgirl shoes. Meagan was a beautiful witch. Watching her dance was an experience.
Laia solved the problem of wanting to be comfy and dance freely but still look awesome, and her event-appropriate HEART necklace was perfect and looked so good with her tattoos. I wore a vintage Wednesday Addams dress that has 20 buttons on it, tights given to me by the Rodarte sisters, shoes given to me by Rachel Antonoff, and my Twin Peaks/rosary necklace.
For real though, the best decisions I have ever made were starting Rookie, doing Reading Olympics in elementary school, and being on my "Language Arts" teacher's hip hop team in the 8th grade. That footwork is probably the only thing I learned in middle school that I have found myself using often.

Things are tense. It shouldn't surprise us. In a pluralistic society, there will be pressure points. However, starting with "Help me understand" is sure to be a tension-reducer.
donhornsby's insight:
When a pressure point is encountered, someone must step back, take a posture of humility, and resolve to reduce tension.
From hbr
And roughly 30% of leaders have at least one fatal flaw.
donhornsby's insight:
Think about it. If roughly one-third of leaders have a fatal flaw and you are sitting in a management meeting, look to your right and then to your left. As the old joke goes, if in your opinion, neither of these two colleagues has a really serious weakness, then the laws of statistics suggest that you do.

If ever there was a time when one person could singlehandedly create the Next Big Thing, it's long gone. Now, collaboration and connection is king, which on the surface makes sense—the more ideas we can share with each other, the faster we'll arrive at something important. Except, new experiments suggest, that intuition is wrong: Having everyone's ideas on the table all at once can actually stifle innovation.
Moderation in all things - even collaboration?

Most people go through life not really getting any smarter. Why? They simply won't do the work required.
It's easy to come home, sit on the couch, watch TV, and zone out until bedtime rolls around. But that's not going to help you get smarter.
Sure, you can go into the office the next day and discuss the details of last night's episode of Mad Men or Game of Thrones. And yes, you know what happened on Survivor. But that's not knowledge accumulation; that's a mind-numbing sedative.
You can acquire knowledge if you want it. In fact, there is a simple formula, which if followed is almost certain to make you smarter over time. Simple but not easy.
It involves a lot of hard work.
We'll call it the Buffett formula, named after Warren Buffett and his longtime business partner at Berkshire Hathaway, Charlie Munger. These two are an extraordinary combination of minds. They are also learning machines.
Better change comes from better learning, here's how it's done by two of the best!
"Who's my most valuable client?" And he decided it was himself. So he decided to sell himself an hour each day. He did it early in the morning, working on these construction projects and real estate deals. Everybody should do this, be the client, and then work for other people, too, and sell yourself an hour a day.
Your employees depend on you to lead them through a challenging time -- here's how to lead effectively following a company-wide red alert.

Does your EI show in the office?
Any conversation at work where you are asking someone for something is a form of negotiation. Effective managers and leaders use the principles of positive persuasion to get what they need and strengthen relationships in the process.
I know what power is, you say. It's force, money, influence, freedom, government. Let me ask some questions with the purpose of making you ponder a bit longer about power rather than come up with an answer. I am testing your ideas on power to nudge you on a path of a personal reflection, as the concept of power is a deeply personal, almost primal notion built on our own life experiences.

Our first child came a touch early and is currently struggling a bit with his weight and high bilirubin levels. His weight looks like it's headed in the right direction, but he has to be plugged into a "bili-blanket" 24/7 until his levels go down. This has been particularly hard on the new (and very tired!) mama. When you think of it, please pray for him. His name is Simon. Thank you!
may God have mercy on u all.by the way, u will have to change your username...
Through the interessions of St. Nektarios [who cured my infant of the exact same thing many years ago], I pray that the levels will come down and that all will go well with your precious newborn baby. May the blessings of the holy Mother of God be with him...Please pray to St. Nektarios whose intercessions are very miraculous, and known far and wide, for your baby Simon..I know that he will come to your aid. The offspring of Selyvria and the guardian of Aegina,the true friend of virtue who appeared in the last days,we faithful honour thee as a Godly servant of Christ,for thou pourest forth healings of all kinds for those who piously cry out:Glory to God who glorified thee,Glory to HIM who made thee wondrous,Glory to HIM, who worketh healings for all through thee! AMEN!
Wanted to update everyone. After a full night on the bili-blanket, Simon's levels dropped below the level of concern and his weight went up another two ounces! Everyone is feeling much better today and we are hoping to make it to liturgy to give thanks to God!Thank you again for your prayers.

text: Short Crop Pushes Sales Higher October 31, 2012 06:54 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Jeanne Bernick Top Producer Editor Email Corn sales outpace soybeans on tail end of harvest As prices slid during harvest, corn sales climbed for the advisers in the Archer Financial Services, Inc., Ag Hedge program. There were also several soybean sales, but the net change pace was limited. Some used the break to lift hedge protection and even add re-ownership strategies as bean values dropped more than $2.30 from late summer highs. September corn sales jumped 15% for 2012 crop, as advisers took advantage of strong basis levels and lack of carryover, recommending producers move inventory straight from the combine. "We've been extremely aggressive in both corn and beans," notes Richard Brock of Brock and Associates. "We have a short crop, and you never store a short crop. The highest prices in a short year are seen right after harvest. We wanted to be as heavily sold after harvest as practical." With premium prices and no carry in the market, there are too many reasons why a producer shouldn't store corn, Brock adds. "Short crops peak early and have a long tail. Owning corn and soybeans when prices are this high, the odds are stacked against you," he explains. Interest in selling the 2013 crop has been tepid; however, those sales did move 8% higher in September to 30%, says Scott Harms of Archer Financial Services. Soybean sales for this year's crop decreased by 3% while the 2013 hedge position inched 2% higher in September. "With corn and beans off of their summer highs as harvest winds down, it is expected that sales may begin to dry up in anticipation of a potential cash-led rally this winter," Harms says. If you have any questions or comments regarding the track record information, contact Mark Soderberg, Tim Smith or Scott Harms of Archer Financial Services, Inc., at (800) 933-3996. Back to news

Jeffrey Van Camp: Screw you, science! I want cloned dinosaurs
There are many reasons why we shouldn't bring dinosaurs back from the dead, but damnit, it would be nice to have the option! This week, Nature magazine ripped the dinosaur posters off my childhood walls and burned my set of Dino Riders action figures. As it turns out, researchers took the science of Jurassic Park a little seriously and have been studying the half-life of DNA. The sad part is, those researchers found that even in a "perfect preservation environment" of -5 celsius, every bond between the nucleotides that make up DNA would be broken after 6.8 million years. Worse, after about 1.5 million years the DNA would "cease to be usable." That's a far shot from the 75 million year gap between us and the last group of dinosaurs, and it means we're never going to discover a prehistoric sap-covered mosquito with any actual Dino DNA left in it — let alone enough to allow us to fill in the gaps to complete the… code with frog DNA. Total buzzkill.
Science, what is this crap?! You're supposed to continue to show us that anything is possible, including our favorite science fiction morality tale movies. I certainly hope there is another research team hard at work irradiating lizards. I'm not in the mood to learn that Godzilla can't exist either.
Science. Fail.
This video best describes how I feel right now.
Micah Abrams: Marco Arment is at it again
Marco Arment knows from elegant problem solving. The Instapaper and Tumblr developer has a gift for identifying needs native to a digital world ("I need to read the internet offline," in the former case; "My blogging platform does 8000 things I don't need it to do," in the latter), and creating incredibly easy-to-use solutions. So my eyes perked up when I heard about his latest venture, "The Magazine."
The problem The Magazine sets out to solve is less user-specific than industry-specific. Digital publishing is a space where, from a business standpoint, there's way more failure than success. This despite the fact that, by some measures, we're reading now more than ever and the traction of sites like Bill Simmons' Grantland prove that the audience for long-form writing is large within the younger generations so often blamed for the death of print. So how do you make money?
The Magazine is basically a written version of Arment's popular Build And Analyze podcast, which covers technology and culture from a developer's perspective. Arment always makes products that are simple and effective, and The Magazine is no exception; but in this case it's the business model that's really simple: $1.99 a month for 4 articles every two weeks. So can it be effective? We'll find out soon enough: In the first issue's forward, Arment declares that, if he can't make it profitable within 4 issues, he's shuttering it.
Caleb Denison: Geeks unite!
This video is a heart-warming mashup of two distinct geek-o-types: gamers and band nerds. I spent six years in various marching bands and drum-and-bugle corps when I was young, but I never got to do a field show half as cool as the one from Ohio State University's half-time show during its game against Nebraska. The field show highlights the theme songs to some of the most recognizable video games from the last three decades. While the audio isn't perfect, it's good enough to underscore the impressive display the highly coordinated marching band manages to pull off (stick around for the running horse at 6:13). As of now, the video has scored over 9 million views. I guess sometimes nerds do get some attention after all.
Andrew Couts: Beating the cyberwar drum badly
Hide yo' kids. Hide yo' wife. The Chinese, Russians, Iranians, and terrorists are coming — through the computers! This, according to U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, who warned this week that the U.S. is a virtual sitting duck unless Congress gets some comprehensive cybersecurity legislation to President Obama's desk stat.
"An aggressor nation or extremist group could use these kinds of cyber tools to gain control of critical switches," said Panetta during an event at the Intrepid Sea, Air, and Space Museum on Thursday. "They could derail passenger trains, or even more dangerous, derail passenger trains loaded with lethal chemicals. They could contaminate the water supply in major cities, or shut down the power grid across large parts of the country."
Why, exactly, we're loading passenger trains with barrels of lethal chemicals, he did not say.
Of course, Panetta's ominous (if ludicrous) example has a hard lining of truth. Multiple cybersecurity experts have told me about the vulnerabilities of our critical infrastructure networks and other legacy systems that have no business being connected to the Internet in the first place. But don't be fooled: The rules of pre-engagement specify that getting us all nice and scared is the first step toward victory, the cyber type or otherwise.

Molly McHugh: Now this is a great pumpkin Charlie Brown
I am not what you would call a crafty person. I hardly ever wrap presents, and don't get me started on the uselessness of making cards (why can't you just hand someone a gift and say "This is from me,"?). I have little to no appreciation for decorations or handmade anything or DIYing – but this, this pumpkin turned into a keg, I can respect. Clearly, I am not Celebrations Party Ideas target audience, but if anything could get me to care about carving a pumpkin into something other than a Stars Wars insignia (I'm on three consecutive years now), it's beer. Now I'm off to find a pumpkin that can hold approximately 2,000 ounces of liquid.
Ryan Fleming: It's never too early to fan out
Last night (or early this morning if you want to get technical about it) marked one of the most important days of the year for sports fans – Midnight Madness. For those that have led sad and lonely lives devoid of the joys of college basketball, Midnight Madness marks the first day that college basketball teams can officially practice together. For many programs (including my own beloved Kansas Jayhawks), the event is heralded by all the pomp and circumstance you would expect of a sport that could easily be mistaken for religion by many.
But beyond the pageantry of the event itself, it signifies that the college basketball season has begun, at least technically. The games won't begin until November, but a quick search online for last night's festivities can help fill the void until the first tip-off. Rock chalk!

Your guide to Rugby Memorabilia
Of the two main codes of rugby, Rugby Union memorabilia remains the most popular in the majority of rugby playing countries apart from Australia where Rugby League memorabilia is more popular.
Most people believe rugby started when William Webb-Ellis picked up a football in 1823 and ran with it, at Rugby School, Rugby, England, hence the name of the sport. Although this tale is likely to be apocryphal, the trophy played for every four years at the Rugby World Cup is named after him.
The code of football later known as Rugby Union can be traced to three events: the first set of written laws in 1845; the Blackheath Club's decision to leave the The Football Association in 1863 and; the formation of the Rugby Football Union in 1871. The code was originally known simply as "rugby football"; it was not until a schism, in 1895, which resulted in the separate code of rugby league, that the name "rugby union" was used for the game itself.
The popularity of Rugby has increased dramatically in the last decade which has led to a greater demand for Rugby Memorabilia. The holy grail of signed Rugby Memorabilia has always been Signed All Blacks Memorabilia, Match worn rugby shirts and signed British Lions Memorabilia.
Items from specific nations are also very popular such as signed England Rugby memorabilia, signed Wales Rugby memorabilia, signed Ireland Rugby memorabilia, signed Scotland memorabilia and South Africa rugby memorabilia
Spirit of Sport prides itself on its fine collection of Rugby Gifts, Rugby collectables and Rugby Souvenirs, which includes ranges such as Rugby World Cup memorabilia, Club Rugby memorabilia, Signed Rugby Books, Signed Rugby shirts and International Rugby memorabilia.
From specific events, select from signed England Rugby World Cup 2003 Memorabilia, Wales Grand Slam 2005 signed memorabilia, Wales Grand Slam 2008 signed memorabilia, Rugby World Cup memorabilia and Six Nations memorabilia.

Economics and history students at Jay HS received a lesson in politics from someone on the inside.
U.S. Representative Joaquin Castro's visit coincided during the two-week government shutdown, and he was able to answer many questions centered on its impact on San Antonio and military families in the area.
Although about 800,000 government employees were not being paid during this period, legislators continued to receive compensation so Castro donated his paycheck to the Fisher House and the Battered Women and Children's Shelter, both in San Antonio.
"While the American economy suffers because of hostage politics in Congress, neither Senators nor Congressmen should be getting paid," Castro told the students.
While not exactly a rags to riches story, Castro grew up on the west side of San Antonio graduating from Jefferson HS and then attended Stanford University and Harvard University's School of Law. He told the students about his grandmother who only achieved a fourth grade education but worked hard to make sure that her children and grandchildren would have a better, brighter future than her own.
"Apply to a college that you don't expect to be accepted to and reach for your dreams," he said. "There will be people, perhaps even friends, who doubt your ability to achieve greatness. But, there will also be people and friends who will encourage you and those are the people you need to surround yourselves with."
"Always believe in yourselves and surround yourselves with people who will encourage and support your goals," he added. "They will be your 'angels' who will literally lift you up off the ground when you need it the most."

Kickstarter-Funded Movie Wins Oscar For Best Documentary
from the crowdfunding-coming-of-age dept
Earlier this year, in noting just how many movies were getting funded by Kickstarter, we also mentioned that two films that had been funded via the site had been nominated for Oscars in the past -- and that there were quite a few documentaries that were "shortlisted" to be nominated this year, including Inocente. And now it turns out that, not only was Inocente nominated, it won for best documentary, making it the first Kickstarter-funded film to win an Oscar, though I doubt it will be the last. Hopefully this means we can kill off the line we've heard too many times from some industry folks about how Kickstarter isn't for "real" content creators.

text: Money-Saving Tip: Brush Up on Your Management Skills March 13, 2014 01:14 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By AgWeb.com Editors Email Editor's note: We've gathered several experts to offer suggestions on trimming expenses in light of tighter margins in 2014. This is one of 10 money-saving tips. It's human nature that during periods of strong profits, management in some areas can "get a little sloppy," says Nate Franzen, president, agribusiness division, First Dakota National Bank, Yankton, S.D. But as the economy shifts, it's important that you also shift your management strategy. Stop doing what you've always done in the past. In addition, adopt some strategies to help you break even during turbulent times. Things like lowering your production costs, creating value for the customer and even using your time more efficiently can go a long way toward locking in profits. Record prices have encouraged buying some inputs without hard knowledge of their economic return. "That's no longer an option," adds Mike Duffy, ag economist at Iowa State University. Speaking of inputs, if you fail to apply the right inputs at the right time and under the right circumstances, you might as well flush your money down the toilet—at least it's more environmentally sound, Mike Boehlje, ag economist at Purdue University, explains. Take advantage of variable-rate technology and zone management practices so your inputs go exactly where they are needed. Management carries over into the shop, too. Make sure equipment is in the best condition possible to give you an edge during planting, crop protection applications and at harvest. Moreover, taking care of your equipment increases its value, according to used machinery expert Greg Peterson. "If equipment is under 10 years old but in good condition, it is going up in value. It literally pays to take good care of your equipment," he says. .......................................... Keep Your Production Costs in Check for 2014 With grain prices dropping, it's time to get creative. There is no one-size-fits-all-farmers answer, but there are numerous ways to more closely align costs with returns. Here are the money-saving tips we've gathered. Back to news

WILLIAMSBURG — Competing against quality opposition isn't the issue for William and Mary. But until the Tribe finishes plays at both ends of the court, particularly in the final minutes, there will be more anguish such as Saturday.
George Mason and Sherrod Wright pulled away in the final three minutes for a 73-66 win in a taut, entertaining affair in front of an atypically energized crowd at Kaplan Arena.
"I don't quite know what to say," Tribe coach Tony Shaver began his postgame remarks. "A heartbreaking loss, that's for sure, for our kids. I think they're playing with a passion and an effort necessary to win these type of ball games, and we're not quite pulling them out right now."
Execution late in the game cost William and Mary (7-6, 1-1 CAA) the chance for a signature win against one of the league's best teams.
"We're definitely playing some good basketball, but we'd like to finish some of those games against good teams, like today," said Tribe guard Brandon Britt, who scored 13 of his 18 points in the second half. "We played against Purdue, we were right there. I just think it's simple execution is going to get it. We've just got to keep working hard at it."
After Britt's 3-pointer from the right corner tied the game at 61, Mason converted on its next three possessions.
Johnny Williams drew Kyle Gaillard's fifth foul, after a crisp feed from Corey Edwards, and completed a three-point play to give the Patriots the lead for good.
A Wright steal led to him making 1 of 2 free throws for a 65-61 lead. His driving layup down the middle after curling off of a screen resulted in another three-point play and a 68-61 lead with 1:54 remaining.
The Patriots (8-6, 1-1 CAA) closed out the game at the foul line, making five of eight in the final minute.
"We definitely didn't get stops, but late, we (missed) free throws, a layup here and there," Britt said. "It's just little plays here and there. If we want to beat good teams, we've got to execute down the stretch."
Mason's Wright led all scorers with a career-high 28 points. The 6-foot-4 junior did a little of everything, scoring inside and outside, defending and rebounding, as well as setting up teammates.
"He's really starting to play like a big-time player," Mason coach Paul Hewitt said. "The jump that he's made is on the defensive end. He's always been a good scorer. He understands how to get open, he's coming off screens better. But defensively over the last four or five ball games is probably the best I've seen him play defense his whole career, since I've been with him, at least. He's been able to translate that into easy points."
Marcus Thornton and Tim Rusthoven scored 19 apiece for the Tribe, and Rusthoven pulled down 11 rebounds, battling against Mason's frontline platoon. But W&M had only 10 points from the rest of the lineup, and Mason's bench outscored the Tribe's 22-2.
"I felt early in the year we were a very balanced basketball team," Shaver said. "Right now, we're not. We're leaning too heavily on three players.
"We've got some good players not playing well. That's part of it. We've got to get some better production from some guys starting right now, and better production from the bench. The individuals are not that important, but those guys are capable of playing better. Really, to be a great team, they're going to have to play better. They really are."
Mason also held a 37-25 rebound advantage and converted 14 offensive boards into 15 second-chance points. That's partly a result of the absence of W&M 6-8 reserve Tom Schalk, sidelined with mononucleosis.
One fewer big body means that Gaillard is forced to play longer stretches at power forward, essentially out of position. Bigger opponents with deeper front lines are able to lean on Rusthoven and Gaillard more frequently.
Yet even with their shortcomings, the Tribe has had chances against better teams. Saturday's game was there for the taking.
"I think we're good," Shaver said. "But I think we're not where we need to be. I just told our team, and I mean it sincerely, I don't think there's anybody in this league we can't beat. But I don't think there's anybody in this league that can't beat us. So it's going to come down to the day-to-day effort and the day-to-day execution."

Associated Press
BOSTON (AP) - Boston is where a protest over tax policy sparked one revolution.
And today it's where modern day tea party activists are cheering the recent Republican revolt in Washington that embarrassed House Speaker John Boehner and pushed the country closer to a "fiscal cliff" that forces tax increases and massive spending cuts on virtually every American.
Greater Boston Tea Party President Christine Morabito wants conservatives to stay strong and she says "sometimes, things have to get a lot worse before they get better."
Anti-tax conservatives from every corner of the nation echo her sentiment.
In more than a dozen interviews with The Associated Press, activists said they would rather fall off the cliff than agree to a compromise that includes tax increases for any Americans, no matter how high their income.

Cool :) Party Time! lol
Because we don't believe in god either.
They probably have a special effects guy working in the background to get those conversions going.
There will be no non-astrologor's in la-la cuckoo land too.
The concept of heaven and hell is so batshit insane, it never ever ceases to amaze me.
That reminds me of the tagline for "Dawn of the Dead" - "When there's no more room in hell the dead will walk the earth..." - "When everyone else has gone to hell the atheists will walk the earth." Does anyone else feel like chowing down on brains... hang on I'm getting myself confused here...
This both amuses and confuses me. Most theistic postmortem discipline requires some kind of hell in addition to heaven, as per their religious texts. To go to heaven, you must believe and practice every part of said text. In my experience, this tends to imply "If you don't believe in hell, you're going to hell."
The worst part is that theists believe it'll have a psychological impact.

In 1983, Bexley resident Diane Bennett began her tenure as executive director of the nonprofit Action for Children agency.
In 1983, Bexley resident Diane Bennett began her tenure as executive director of the nonprofit Action for Children agency.
In her words, much of her time was spent helping families find a baby-sitter.
Today, Action for Children is a multifaceted resource and referral organization and the No. 1 source for early learning and child care for central Ohio families in seven counties, according to agency spokeswoman Kathleen Murphy.
On Oct. 16, Bennett announced her intention to retire, effective with the hiring of her replacement.
Action for Children's board of trustees is conducting a search to find a new CEO with a target date of Feb. 1 or earlier for new leadership to be in place. Search services are being provided free of charge by Cardinal Health.
"I have one of the most rewarding careers in the world, because I am focused on making life better for young children and their families," Bennett said. "We have always known about the curiosity of young children, but now we also understand that 90 percent of brain development occurs before the age of 5. This brings a greater sense of urgency and importance to our work."
"Retirement makes me sound and feel old," she said. "I don't think any of us are ready to stop making a difference in some way, shape or form."
Bennett said she felt "called" to her mission of helping families secure quality child care.
"I had a 3-year-old and had trouble finding my own child care," she said. "It wasn't simply about finding my own child care. It was about every mother out there returning to work having trouble finding appropriate learning experiences, good-quality care, professionalism in the field."
Bennett said the need for child care is about the same as it was 30 years ago.
"This country needs women in the work force and I don't think that has slacked off over the years," she said. "If you look around the community, in various neighborhoods, the supply does not meet the demand -- and it's not only about the access, it's the quality of experience. Have we made progress? Yes. Is there still more to do? Yes."
Bennett has received many awards for her service, including the Visionary Leadership Award from the Ohio Child Care Resource and Referral Association, YWCA Woman of Achievement, and the Metropolitan Human Services Award. Action for Children also received the Champion of Children Award last year.
Bennett's career spans 40 years in human services, 29 at Action for Children.
"Diane has been one of the strongest advocates in this community for young children," said Jeff Cullman, president of the agency's board of trustees. "During her tenure, the organization has tackled the most pressing problems families face -- that is, finding quality child care for their children. Action for Children has not only increased the number of quality child-care slots under Diane Bennett's leadership, but has made significant gains in access to care, professional training and finance reform."
Under Bennett's leadership, the organization grew from $250,000 to $3 million in revenue and became a significant voice for the young child. Through her work at the local, state and national level, Bennett made universal access, finance reform and high-quality early learning a priority.
The landmark Action for Children study, titled "Progress Made, Ground Lost" and released in April 2012, found that for every two children in Franklin County, there is one child-care slot available. When quality is factored in, the ratio jumped to six children for every opening.
While the number of high-quality slots is higher than it's ever been (accreditation and Ohio's star rating system define quality), Bennett is using the study to bring more high-quality programs to neighborhoods where there is a shortage.
Bennett said she plans to spend more time with her children and grandchildren but doesn't rule out some kind of future community involvement.
"I'm going to see what calls to me next," she said. "I'm going to take some time and who knows. I might be a louder voice from the outside. One never knows."
Bennett said she discovered Bexley and the East Side in 1968 as a student at Capital University and never left.
"It just feels like home to me," she said. "I do feel Columbus and Bexley are my home."

Closer look at Last night Matches:
Brian Cage vs Johnny Yuma
When Cage came out to the ring, he was followed by Ryan Taylor & Chuck Taylor. Chucky announced that the Taylor Boy's are going to take charge of PWG. Chucky & Ryan went to the back. Brian "Cage" Taylor won a clean fight over Yuma. Cage finisher looks sick. Chucky & Ryan came back to the ring and started beating Yuma because "he almost embarrassed one of the Taylor boys." Goodtime & Romero came to the save which will lead to some future matches between the six.
Candice LeRae vs "Pretty" Peter Avalon
Nothing special about this match. LaRae came out to the ring w/ the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Theme song which got a nice pop. Some fans starting rapping, "Go ninja, Go ninja, GO" from Vanilla Ice.... Hilarious. Candice won which left Avalon throwing a tantrum in the middle of the ring.
Rocky Romero vs Ryan Taylor
Nice pop for Ryan Taylor. Hopefully he will get a bigger push w/ the Taylor Boys. Back an forward match up w/ Romero getting the clean win. Chucky or Cage did not show up for this fight.
The Briscoes vs The Cutlers
Great match. Both teams got a huge pop & support from the fans. "Skinny Cutler" was doing a lot of push ups which pissed off the Briscoes. Somebody counted up to 60... Briscoes won & showed some respect by letting us know that the Cutlers are the real deal. It looks like we are going to have "The Peligro Abejas" vs The Briscoes in the near future.
Johnny Goodtime vs Chuck Taylor
Another good solid match. Chucky came out alone. Match went back & forward. Finished came when Cage & Ryan Taylor came out & interfered in the match. Ryan Taylor distracted the referee while Cage took care of Goodtime. The Taylor Boy's left their mark that night. Winning 2 out of 3 matches. Wouldn't be surprised to see Chucky & Ryan Taylor vs RockNES in the next show.
El Generico vs Ricochet.
Match of the night. Generico did look heelish... especially since he was wearing all black. Maybe he is getting himself mentally prepared for his December match vs Steen... The crowd was hot for this match. The chants changed from "Ole Ole" to "Oche Oche" for Ricochet. Ricochet was having a blast in the beginning doing a little dance & doing the superman walk in front of Generico. That stopped when Generico took him to the corner and chopped that life out of him. Ricochet stated "that was not necessary." Generico did get the empty pitcher of beer (because Souf Centrol told him to) and was about to hit Ricochet with the pitcher while Souf Centrol was distracting the referee. In the end, Generico came to his senses & didnt use the pitcher, which probably cost him the match. Ricochet won by doing a Somersault to jumping into Generico's shoulders & doing an inverted hurricarana. To hard to discribe it... but it was sick. Standing ovation for both men. Generico raised Ricochet's hand in the end. Ricochet got a "please come back" chant.
Joey Ryan vs Brandon Gatson vs Chris Hero vs Claudio Castagnoli
Joey Ryan came out first to a mixed reaction. Alot of boos for a man who did nothing but win his matches... harsh. Gatson came out next to a chant of "next world champ." Claudio was next... his huge. Hero came out last to another mixed reaction. I thought the match was great. When they were announcing Joey's name, Claudio threw his shirt at him. Showing some heat. Right when the match started Claudio went after Joey, throwing him to the outside & then diving over the top ropes at Joey. Huge Pop. Hero did a sommersault over the top rope. Huge Pop. Hero has plenty of talent weather you like him or not. Claudio & Gatson took a nasty fall from the top rope to the floor. I was next to it when it happened, and I thought they hurt themselves. It was sick. They landed on a chair & it looked like Gatson was completely out. For what it appeared, Hero got accidently kicked in the face by Joey Ryan which gave him a nasty cut on the bottom of his left eye. Finish came when Claudio threw Joey in the air and hit him w/ a European Uppercut in mid air. Claudio pinned Joey. Hero was shocked. I was standing next to him, and the look on his bloody face.... priceless. Hero came in, took the belt away from Claudio only to strap around his waist. Joey than came in & it looked like him & Claudio were going to shake hands but Joey slapped Claudio & ran to the back. Claudio received a "please come back" & "we need a champ" chants.
Great night. Alot of new feuds are going to start based on what happened.

An icon of 20th century In 1921 Bernard-Albin Gras designed a series of lamps for use in offices and in industrial environments. The Lampe GRAS, as it was subsequently called, was astounding in its simple, robust and yet very ergonomic design. There are neither screws nor welded joints in the basic form. In 1927 the Ravel company purchased the patent and started production of the Lampe GRAS. Bernard-Albin Gras was one of the most innovative designer of the 20th century. The functional esthetic of his lamps and especially the design of details such as those of the articulated brackets, supports and bases were truly origi- nal and far ahead of his time. Early on Le Corbusier was seduced by the modern design and userfriendliness of the lamps and became one of Bernard-Albin Gras' most enthusiastic supporters using the lamps in his own offices as well as employing them in numerous architectural projects all over the world. Others such as Robert Mallet-Stevens, Jacques Emile Ruhlmann and Eileen Gray followed this trend as well. Furthermore, such well-known artists as Sonia Delaunay and Georges Braque also used these lamps in their studios.  For the first time in history, a lamp was equally popular in professional as well as in residential applications. Today, the Lampe GRAS has become sought after a collector's item all over the world, most notably in France, in the United States and in Japan. Bernard-Albin Gras' talented and visionary design has proven to be time- less. dcw. Éditions has acquired exclusive rights for the range of Lampes GRAS.

LUPZ Committee member Joyce Lenhardt presented another update on the negotiations between the neighbors' subcommittee and Bowman Properties, saying the pace of negotiations is "picking up" but that the group has yet to reach a consensus.
"At the moment, we don't support the project," she said.
Lenhardt said two additional meetings, tentatively scheduled for this week, would review revisions made to the design based on feedback received previously from the subcommittee working group.
The development, as proposed by Bowman, is not allowed under the current zoning on the site. Rather than seek relief for the existing zoning, Bowman has decided instead to propose a change in the zoning through legislative action in city council in order to allow the increased density.
LUPZ Committee co-chair John Landis explained to those present that the subcommittee process is simply looking to ensure that the burden imposed by this zoning increase yields benefits to the community as well.
"What are the conditions under which the developer will share their financial benefit with the community?" Landis said. "That's going to take a fair amount of discussion."
Plans to introduce a motion to the city council to rezone the property C-3 Commercial have been postponed until next week. In an open letter to Chestnut Hill Community Association President Jane Piotowski, Bowman president Richard Snowden assured the association that Bowman Properties would not seek final determination of the zoning change in City Council until after the project had been subject to the CHCA development review process.
The decision to change the zoning has not been popular with near neighbors. Lenhardt said that an "alternative zoning strategy" is in the works, but she declined to provide any more information, saying only that she felt it was "a positive step."
Lenhardt briefly discussed the possibility of pursuing the concept "sunset zoning," in which the new zoning rules that would govern the site would revert back to their current state should the project not be constructed within a five-year period.
She cautioned that those involved aren't sure such a thing is even possible in Philadelphia and offered her doubts that it was a provision they would see materialize.
Lenhardt reported that the working group presented Bowman with 19 conditions they'd like to see addressed before granting their approval. Among these were requests to reduce the height of the structure, which was denied, and a request for a public gathering space somewhere on the property.
According to Lenhardt, the public space "hasn't materialized" on any plan they've seen. A request for nine-foot landscape buffers around the site to accommodate "substantial trees" hasn't happened either, but Lenhardt said a more detailed landscaping plan would be presented to the committee soon.
New information about the nine homes planned along the rear of the property facing Shawnee Street prompted concerns about size and massing along the street. A chief concern of both Lenhardt and Landis is that the design places the homes on top of the parking, something unseen in Chestnut Hill.
"There are no firm commitments about the massing and design of these homes," Landis said.
Some uncertainty remains about the definite locations of the roadway edges along Shawnee Street. Lenhardt said that a request to
Bowman to have a land survey conducted was granted.
Zoning Amendment
LUPZ co-chair Larry McEwen presented a proposed amendment to the city's new zoning code before city council this week. That amendment, intended to provide protection for established community organizations like the CHCA, was introduced at last month's meeting, and was written to ensure that established community associations in neighborhoods across the city with established development review processes would not be undermined by the civic design review protocols established in the proposed new zoning code.
The new code requires developers to attend a single meeting with the registered community organization in the project area. There were, however, few requirements for becoming a registered RCO and many feared that other groups could circumvent the CHCA process by registering themselves as RCOs.
Landis thanked McEwen for presenting the amendment he had a hand in crafting but was not the primary author of.
"When the rest of us bailed, he stepped up," Landis said.
Landis said that the principal question from the Philadelphia City Planning Commission, Zoning Code Commission Executive Director Eva Gladstein and Councilwoman Marian Tasco (9th District) was that a number of registered community organizations (RCOs) would want to be named the primary RCO.
Determining which RCO was the primary would be difficult, and, Landis reported, it's not a job either City Council or the City Planning
Commission want. According to Landis, Councilwoman Tasco fears political infighting among the various groups seeking primary RCO status.
"Even if the amendment doesn't pass, it doesn't mean all is lost," said Landis. "We could still work through the administrative guidelines process."
Landis also noted that because of his meeting with Gladstein, the requirements for RCOs in the latest version of the proposed code are stronger than they were before.

Iraq: 10th anniversary of U.S. crime against humanity
By Sara Flounders on March 19, 2013
The corporate media in the U.S. play a powerful role in preparation for imperialist war. They play an even more insidious role in rewriting the history of U.S. wars and obstructing the purpose of U.S. wars.
They are totally intertwined with U.S. military, oil and banking corporations. In every war, this enormously powerful institution known as the 'fourth estate' attempts, as the public relations arm of corporate dominance, to justify imperialist plunder and overwhelm all dissent.
The corporate medias reminiscences and evaluations this week of the 10th anniversary of the Iraq War, which began March 19, 2003, are a stark reminder of their criminal complicity in the war.
Non-Aligned Movement meets in Iran, defies U.S.
By Sara Flounders on September 2, 2012
A meeting in Tehran starting Aug. 26 puts into the sharpest perspective the waning position of U.S. imperialism globally and especially in the Middle East. Both the U.S. and Israel's demands for a boycott of the meeting were ignored. Clearly the U.S. hold is slipping.
Despite every U.S. government effort to economically strangle, militarily blockade and politically isolate Iran, 118 countries, including 35 heads of state and 21 foreign ministers, have accepted the invitation to send a high-level delegation to Iran for the international gathering of the Non-Aligned Movement.
US after large-scale war in Middle East
"[The US] is threatening wider war in the region at the very time that a great deal of both outside weapons are being pumped in, at the very time when US aircraft carriers, destroyers, jet aircraft, helicopters are flooding into both the area just off of Syria and also into the Persian Gulf. It is a military escalation of a very unprecedented and dangerous level." - Sara Flounders co-director of the International Action Center in interview with Press TV.09 July, 2012

Sacre Bleu
- A Comedy d'Art
- Narrated by: Euan Morton
- Length: 11 hrs and 40 mins
- Unabridged Audiobook
- Release date: 03-04-12
- Language: English
- Publisher: HarperAudio
- Whispersync for Voice-ready
It is the color of the Virgin Mary's cloak, a dazzling pigment desired by artists, an exquisite hue infused with danger, adventure, and perhaps even the supernatural. It is... SacrÉ Bleu.
In July 1890, Vincent van Gogh went into a cornfield and shot himself. Or did he? Why would an artist at the height of his creative powers attempt to take his life... and then walk a mile to a doctor's house for help? Who was the crooked little "color man" Vincent had claimed was stalking him across France? And why had the painter recently become deathly afraid of a certain shade of blue?
These are just a few of the questions confronting Vincent's friends - baker-turned-painter Lucien Lessard and bon vivant Henri Toulouse-Lautrec - who vow to discover the truth of van Gogh's untimely death. Their quest will lead them on a surreal odyssey and brothel-crawl deep into the art world of late 19th century Paris.
Oh la la, quelle surprise, and zut alors! A delectable confection of intrigue, passion, and art history - with cancan girls, baguettes, and fine French cognac thrown in for good measure - Sacre Bleu is another masterpiece of wit and wonder from the one, the only, Christopher Moore.

Is Nothing is Sacre'?
I'm new to Christopher Moore. I'd seen those signature covers, with the bold chunky letters "M-O-O-R-E" across the front, and was curious..."What new genre is this: vampires named Abby Normal, murderous Santas, the spectre Death in a baby carriage, King Lear as a comedy, Jesus and his boyhood pal Biff...holy merde!...is nothing sacre'?!" I was tempted, but my impression was the subject matter was too surreal, too bawdy, too irreverant, for my tastes. But a novel about wonderful art, Paris, Van Gogh, even if it was fictional comedy....oh! I could not resist. I didn't stop smiling or laughing for 11 hrs. and 40 min.
Sacre' Bleu is a brilliantly crafted mish-mash of genres, part historical fiction, part mystery, part fantasy, part mythology, loaded with satire and comedic genius, but also some accurate and interesting history. I get why the fans are zealous, why the reviews are glowing--this is entertaining smart comedy; energetic and colorful, with a cast of who's-who in the world of 19th century artists (even a "cameo" by Descartes and Hemingway) and a story that spans history. The character Toulouse-Lautrec was especially funny, brought to life by the wonderful narration of Euan Morton.The first hour is a little slow, but the pace picks up quickly, and if the plot doesn't draw you in, the amusing banter will.
If you are considering Moore for the first time, I can say I enjoyed this listen immensely, but don't think it is for everyone, it's more an acquired taste. It is irreverant, and there is some bawdy humor--if you can't laugh at a dirty joke, and bits of sophmoric humor, you might not appreciate Moore's style. As for me, I want more of anything that can hold my interest AND keep a smile on my face. I'll be reading the Audible members' reviews of other Moore books and choosing another.

Not Moore at his funniest, but Moore completely
If you're looking for the comedy so readily had in Fool, Dirty Job, and all of the Pine Cove books it isnt here, this is more the kind of deeply drawn absurd comedy that you found in Fluke. This is the side of Chistopher Moore rarely glimpsed in his writing, the meloncholy sarcasm and broad comedy that is based not on the situation but on the very weirdness and craziness of a (semi)-normal life and love and the horror that is being a creative person.
So if you're looking for a delightful romp with another Pocket of Dog Snogging or another journey with Levi bar Alphaeus who is called Biff, or even a drag along the absurd with Theopolis Crowe, skip this one, you wont find the same humor.
If however you are looking for a very well thought out very well researched and deeply colourful book, then Christopher Moore is your colour man giving you the blue you need (whether you eat it or not) to make your day a little less blue and a little moore hued.

Dirty Jokes and Fine Art
At last, that year I spent studying art history pays off!
Not that you need to know anything about art history to enjoy this book. The chapter guide is very helpful. Well, I discovered it just after I'd finished the book, but it LOOKS helpful. Have it handy while you listen.
So, here is Moore doing what he does best, crafting a story that is intelligent and moving, but also bawdy and goofy. There's that mystery I mentioned, and some romance, lots of sex and other "vices", and thoughtful ruminations on the nature of inspiration and the sacrifices that must be made for art.
The main character, baker/painter Lucien Lessard, is great, but it's Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec who steals the show as Lucien's drunken horndog sidekick. We need another book about him!
The narration is superb. I loved what Euan Morton did with Fool, and his performance here is just as lively.
I can't give Sacr?? Bleu a full five stars for the story. I want to, but it doesn't quite equal Moore's masterpieces Lamb and Fool. There are some aspects of the story that don't quite gel, and maybe it gets a bit too complicated for its own good. But it's really, really close. I've already started listening to it for a second time.

Love this book
You don't have to have an art background to enjoy this book. It is written with humor, mystery, history and art. If you do have an art background, there are so many things that you will "get." All the great Impressionists are mentioned and some take part in the story. You will be amazed at the "source" for ultramarine blue pigment. A very imaginative book. And, I really liked the reader. He was perfect for the time and place. I can't imagine it would be as much fun to read the book myself. Hearing it was a delight.

Sacred Blue
I really enjoyed the story Christopher Moore dreamed up. Bohemian Paris is one of the places i would love to time travel to. Can you imagine it? Painters and writers and can-can dancers drinking to the green fairy. What i love about Christopher Moore, is that he is extremely thorough with his research, look at Lamb.
The actual storyline was just okay, its entertaining and keeps you interested, but it paled in comparison to the amazing world that Moore paints for the reader. You are transported to Paris at a time where some of the most renown painters are friends and you get to peek into their process. What makes them who they are as well as the women who act as muses for them.
I would recommend this story for anyone who has even a small interest in art. Also, the summary makes this sounds like a detective story about the death of Van Gough. Yes, it is, but Van Gough's part is really short. His death is not really a motivating factor, but it is entertaining and has an interesting take on why he cut off his own earlobe.
The narration:
Euan Morton does a great job with the different characters. He was able to distinguish all the men and made the women's voices believable. I like it when the narrator doesn't outshine or hinder the story. Morton did a great job.

Moore to love?
Ok, so it isn't my favorite from Christopher Moore, but it still holds its own as a funny and entertaining listen. The whole French art history theme wore on me after awhile - I started wishing for it to hurry up and end already - like a couple of hours before it finally did. I also had a difficult time solidifying the characters in my head - I felt like they were being reintroduced multiple times and they all kind of ran together into three or four historic artists and some really witty whores. Does it sound like I didn't enjoy it? I really did - it had the signature Moore saucy humor and fun sub-plots that he is known for and he remains one of my favorite authors. If you like Moore you need to add this to your collection, and if you've never experienced Moore then definitely try it because everyone needs some Moore :)

For fans of Fool
If you liked Christopher Moore's remake of McBeth then you'll likely enjoy this story. If his other books are more your flavor then you might struggle with Sacre Bleu. The story is well written and well performed but it was like listening to a story that you understand is meant to be amusing but you don't have enough knowledge of the subject matter to enjoy its humorus intent.

Just a Good Book from a Great Writer
Any additional comments?
I dislike the way Audible wants me to review books. I don't want to answer questions, I simply want to tell you what I think of a book - in this case Sacre Bleu.
This is a good book with excellent narration. It is strange and mysterious and has wonderful characters. There are moments when I laughed out loud and moments when I merely savored the weirdness. I would recommend this book to anyone.
So why only five stars for the story? Because this is Christopher Moore and I am afraid he has spoiled me with "The Stupidest Angel" and "Lamb". "The Stupidest Angel" is my very favorite Audible book and I want all of Christopher Moore's books to make me laugh like "The Stupidest Angel" does!
I suspect that most fans of Mr. Moore do not think "The Stupidest Angel" is his best - it is not as rich as some of his books, but there's me liking silly much more than meaningful, so take that into consideration when you decide to buy this book - which you really should decide to do.

A great story for art lovers!
I can understand that not everyone will like this book because it has some very specific art history references. I have a completely useless degree in art history, so this book for me was like hearing stories about old friends. At first I was skeptical about downloading this book because I was afraid he may have messed around too much with history. I was pleasantly surprised at how well he wound his story around actual events without making any serious changes in history. The narration is also well done.
