This is the leg of Celtic winger Kris Commons, a few hours after being fouled in a Champions League win over Spartak Moscow that sent Celtic through to the round of 16. It has too many bumps in it.
For a bit of symmetry, it was Commons's leg that put Celtic on top with a penalty shot six minutes before getting kicked to hell. He tweeted out this photo last night with the cryptic comment "buzzin is a understatement," which is either about the thrill of victory or the pain meds.

Honda and Toyota reveal new superminis
* Honda New Small Concept * Toyota Etios * Revealed at Delhi motor show...
Japanese giants Honda and Toyota have revealed supermini concept cars at the Delhi motor show.
Honda's snappily titled New Small Concept is a low-cost city car expected to go on sale in India and Thailand next year.
There are no plans to bring the New Small Concept to Europe, although Honda chief Takanobu Ito did tell us: 'The recession has forced us to revise our business plan, and there is also the matter of exchange rates, so we try to produce locally, that is why the Jazz was moved to the UK.
'We continue to consider building a small car [for Europe], but first we will try it in Asia.'
Toyota Etios
Similarly, Toyota's Etios concept car is virtually production ready the first cars will be built in India at the end of the year.
It has been designed specifically for the Indian market and comes with a 1.2 or 1.5 petrol engine.
Neither car is being touted as a rival to the ultra-cheap Tata Nano.

Health experts have urged people to stop washing chicken before they cook it to avoid food poisoning.
More than two-fifths of cooks say that they wash chicken as part of their food preparations, but the Food Standards Agency has issued a call to the public to stop the practice.
The FSA said that it can spread a type of bacteria around the kitchen through the splashing of water droplets.
Campylobacter bacteria is responsible for the majority of cases of food poisoning - with around 280,000 people affected across the UK each year. The FSA said four out of every five cases are caused by contaminated chicken.
While most cases result in people suffering from abdominal pain, severe diarrhoea and vomiting, some cases can lead to more significant health problems.
The FSA has now urged cooks to stop washing chicken before cooking it, saying the practice can spread campylobacter bacteria on to hands, work surfaces, clothing and cooking equipment through splashed water.
''Although people tend to follow recommended practice when handling poultry, such as washing hands after touching raw chicken and making sure it is thoroughly cooked, our research has found that washing raw chicken is also common practice,'' said FSA chief executive Catherine Brown.
''That's why we're calling on people to stop washing raw chicken and also raising awareness of the risks of contracting campylobacter as a result of cross-contamination.
''Campylobacter is a serious issue. Not only can it cause severe illness and death, but it costs the economy hundreds of millions of pounds a year as a result of sickness absence and the burden on the NHS.
''Telling the public about the risks and how to avoid them is just one part of our plan to tackle campylobacter.
"We are leading a campaign that brings together the whole food chain, which includes working with farmers and producers to reduce rates of campylobacter in flocks of broiler chickens and ensuring that slaughterhouses and processors are taking steps to minimise the levels of contamination in birds.''

Smart devices are becoming more and more prevalent in daily life, from televisions to thermostats to toasters. Devices with digital assistants, like Amazon's Alexa or iOS's Siri, are also expanding at a rapid pace. It makes sense that the hotel industry, with their focus on hospitality, would take advantage of this new technology to make their guests' stays more comfortable.
Leading hotel brands like Marriott and Starwood are currently testing digital assistants in hotel rooms. Guests who stay in a room with an artificially intelligent assistant can have the device perform a number of tasks, including tell the time, play music, order room service, and even open or close the curtains.
The idea is to determine which digital assistant customers prefer. In addition to the features mentioned, guests can control their television, lights, and room temperature with their voice. That will make turning on the air conditioner from bed much easier!
One thing customers should not anticipate is the devices being used as marketing tools. Users have reacted very negatively toward unexpected ads coming from their digital assistants. Therefore at this time hotels are using them as a way to enhance the guest experience rather than increase revenue.

Useful musical notations with some translations as well
Accelerando – to gradually get faster since you are such a slow poke; 急いで、私は私の歯科医の予定に到達する必要があります
Andante – a walking tempo, temporarily, until you trip over a sixteenth note; 足にけいれんがありました
Basso continuo – a form of bass line from the baroque period, noted with numbers that indicate chords, probably in a random nonsensical fashion according to the whims of the composer; あなたは生の魚を食べたことがありますか
Berceuse – a lullaby, causing you to doze off and miss your cue. Then the conductor throws his or her baton at you, stabbing you through the heart, and forever after you mournfully haunt the concert hall; matur nuwun sewu lulla, aku wis wektu swell
Crescendo – growing as in a swelling of sound, short for "Criminy, close the blooming window"; te recomendamos a good restaurant
Expressive – play expressively, sometimes with tears, grimacing, and much gnashing of your teeth; Har du noen kippers, jeg er sulten
Fugue – contrapuntal, someone's contrary uncle; غوريلا قليلة في العالم
Gigue – a lively dance form from the baroque, and when the music stops, everyone yells "gique!" and everyone falls down laughing: uma ingaphukile ungayilungisi
Giocoso – play the piece cheerfully or in a playful way, what other way is there? আমার পায়ের আঙ্গুল ব্যাথা, এটা কিছু মাখন করা
Leggiero – lightly without force, also a type of linguini; hvis du kommer til at trykke mig på skulderen, gør det forsigtigt, tak. Jeg er hele fra mudderbrydning i aftes
Legno – for string players to use wooden side of bow to hit the strings, and sometimes the heads of other players; fass mein Bein nicht an NEIN!
Mezzo – half, what the conductor says you will be paid for a performance; Hatagan ko ikaw niini nga donut
Passacaglia – baroque dance form with a short melodic phrase, usually in the bass, and sometimes in the basement; 海龜是很棒的寵物
Poco a poco – little by little, you poka me, I poka you to the tune of a polka; ти ме тласкаш и аз ще те съборя
Rallentando – gradually slower, since we get tired during a performance such as one of Wagner's 8 hour opera performances; когда я становлюсь старше, я становлюсь медленнее
Ritenuto – slow down, obviously a curse word in Italian meaning "addle-brained musician who can't stay on the beat" but few will admit it ; Εγώ θα puke εάν δεν οδηγείτε πιο αργά
Rubato – play with freedom, deviate from strict tempo to get more expressive playing, also another curse word, loosely translated "you are a fat pig"; onde fica o banheiro?
Scherzo – joke, fast light-hearted, the sound an Italian makes when he or she sneezes (I'm part Italian so I am allowed to do Italian jokes); La tua faccia sembra un formaggio ammuffito
Sarabande – in baroque, a slow, genteel dance in triple time, also a small musical group led by the famous singer, Sara; Ég stakk upp á hundinn þinn
Triple time – three beats to a measure like ¾, also, multitasking, doing three things at once like drinking a soda, texting and driving causing you to rear end a truck; Эмнэлэг хаана байна вэ?
Yeah, another contest, but not necessarily with musical compositions. A number of banana recipes have already been posted in the comments to "banana, signature edition" and you are invited to submit your own unique/strange/fascinating banana recipes in this new contest. First, second, third, and honorable banana mention awards will be given. No rules ('rules? we don't need no stinking rules'). So let the merriment begin. The contest will end January 1, 2015.
One says: "Hey you, the other day I gave a concert and had to play with someone, who had built a harp like you and me into a wooden box and knocked on it with felt hammers."
Write a ringtone for a phone using any instruments you want. It can't be more than 45 seconds though. Deadline July 22, so you have one month.
EDIT: Deadline July 12
So, I just hit the big 300 mark! What should I do? I Was thinking of revamping/ finishing the old old old Phantom of the opera string quartet I had done a million years ago Lol So If you have a suggestion of a piece I should arrange, or an interesting idea for an original, Then feel free to share! Thanks!!!
We (Joseph and Hannah) have decided that every time we double in the number of followers (so right now we're at 5, so it'll be 10, 20, 40, 80, maybe throw in something for 100, 160, etc.) we will alternate posting an original composition to thank you! (It may or may not be very good. We're certainly not experts ;)
various serious comments are allowed here since this is not such a silly site after all.
here is an idea for a new competition
someone will start a composition with maybe 5-10 bars and then another person will continue it for another 5-10 measures, and then the next person and so on until the game will unexpectedly end (the music stops, in other words) and the last one to enter when the music stops (as determined randomly by the one running the competition) wins.
any takers or anyone want to start a piece?
I realize there is likely a discussion of this elsewhere but decided to have my own discussion to keep track of issues. you are welcome to add your own comments of course.
notice that some compositions created in the older version don't open in the newer one, says they are corrupted. I realize my music is very corrupt but musescore could have been a little nicer about it all. that is just plain mean.
notice that the violin sounds a lot better, more pleasant ( I won't say it sounds more like a real violin being played because then it would sound worse, if I was playing anyway)
but also notice that the overall sound seems very quiet. I have to turn the computer volume up really high. and then if I forget and play something with the older version, I am deafened. yowza!
wonder how music made with this new version plays at the online musescore site, or does the sound balance get messed up as it does now…
haven't found how to do some things… seems they changed the layout a bit.
Take the Quiz Here And Follow The Directions:
Based on this playlist you must create a medley https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ly_FAIOPH0Y&list=RDly_FAIOPH0Y#t=0
It is due April 28,2016 9:00 pm
The following is a synopsis of an opera about the DYDD, Downy Yellow Dingle Dork for those of you who still do not know. (see http://chinadoll123.wix.com/dingle-dork1 and https://musescore.com/groups/the-downy-yellow-dingle-dork-extinction-group and also https://musescore.com/user/266756). Any suggestions or comments are welcome (other than "don't do it") and anyone who would be willing to collaborate or otherwise help in any degree on this project is most welcome. Although it may have taken Rossini only 13 days (supposedly, I also heard 40 days) to write the "Barber of Seville," I am no Rossini of course and this project, if it ever gets done (no, don't start off negatively! be positive) will likely take more like 13 months to put together (being realistic, no?) Anyway, I welcome any comments as always. Thank you, music lovers.
Synopsis of the dydd opera
An opera in Three acts
Patterned after the magic flute
Themes are right to life, preservation, tolerance, freedom
Overture- a medley of the opera tunes
First act
We see the members of the secret audobon discussing the dydd. They sing of the reasons why the dydd must be made extinct and of their plans for its capture and extermination. This should be done very comically.
We then meet some isolated folks who want to save the dydd. These folks each have their own melody and they meet and sing a medley of their individual tunes.
They decide to form the knughts of dingle dork. This introduces the theme of the knughts and their motto.
We get a fleeting glimpse of the shadow of the dydd which introduces its theme briefly. Then we hear its cawing mocking laugh as it flees the pursuing secret audobon
Act one ends with the knughts singing on one side and the secret audobon singing on the pther side their competing themes and aims.
The act ends with both groups expressing frustration at not being able to capture it and we agin hear the dydd's cawing laugh as the curtain closes.
Second act
This act begins with the chase music as the secret audobon sets its traps and then falls into their own traps.
We then get introduced to the dydd and it sings its tune.it sings about its life and how important and beautiful it is although it Is lonely since there are no other dydds. It can also sing its signature theme.
The knughts then chase after the dydd and they do many comical face plants and capture a dydd doll.
The dydd has many adventures in its travels to other lands. Th act ends with its discovery of pacificus and its capture by the Inhabitants.
Act 3
The third act is the resolution of everything.
As the act opens, we learn about pacificus and the dydd meets a female dydd and sings its love song. It realizes its importance in the world through discovering its history in the land of pacificus.
Meanwhile the secret audobon and the knughts have a showdown and manage to capture each other in their traps.
The act ends with everyone in traps or tied up and the dydd comes center stage and proudly sings its victory song. The female dydd cones out to join it and they sing a duet. Then all the baby dydds join them onstage and everyone sings the grand fanale.
MS Challenges Group is back!
Join us for fun challenges and friendly competition!

It's a great time for everyone who loves superheroes combined with Bollywood-style dance sequences. The two greatest Indian superhero movies ever made are both getting sequels — with massive special effects from Hollywood experts.
First of all, Krrish 2 is in production — and star Hrithik Roshan told the Hindustan Times that his producer father keeps freaking out that the movie is "too big and difficult," and that it's going to be a huge expensive gamble. They've flown in Hong Kong movie veteran Tony Ching Sui Tung to be the film's action director, and Ching is spending six hours a day brainstorming the movie's stunts. "We're planning something that's never been attempted on the Indian screen before. If we can pull it off, it'll be phenomenal," Roshan says.
And as you can see from the video above — featuring the trenchcoated, masked Roshan taking on a whole motorcycle gang — the first movie was already very wirework-intensive and heavily influenced by Hong Kong movies. The original Krrish, in 2006, was a quasi-sequel to the hit movie Kol... Mil Gaya, in which a small-town kid gets superpowers and uses them to fight evil. (Read Henry Jenkins' review of the original Krrish here.)
But that's not all! We're also getting a sequel to the classic superhero film Mr. India, which was the second most popular film in India in 1987. In Mr. India, a kind-hearted man named Arun, who looks after a ton of orphans, inherits a device that enables him to turn invisible, and he uses it to fight crime as the mysterious superhero Mr. India. His tenant in his house, the beautiful Seema, falls in love with Mr. India but scorns his civilian alter-ego.
The director of Mr. India, Shekhar Kapur, went on to direct Elizabeth and Elizabeth: The Golden Age, and is now trying to make a dystopian film about water wars in the future. So he won't be back as director, but he'll be on board as a producer — and original stars Anil Kapoor (Arun) and Sridevi (Seema) will be back. And it'll be in 3-D, according to Daijworld!
The main thing that's really memorable about Mr. India is its villain — the Dr. No-esque Mogambo, who wears massive shoulderpads and epaulettes. Just watch the video at left, in which two henchmen visit Mogambo's lair and wind up chanting his name. (Skip the first minute to get to the awesome part.) Mogambo was played by Amrish Puri, fresh from his role as Mola Ram in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and his catch phrase, "Mogambo Khush Hua," was voted one of the all-time great movie lines in India.
So who can they get to be the villain this time around? Apparently, they're talking to Bollywood superstar Salman Khan, who's starred in more than 80 Hindi films but has never played a villain, about stepping into Mogambo's massive epaulettes. Mogambo Khush Hua!

The city of prehistoric metallurgy.
This is the most important Copper Age site in European prehistory.
It dates from the year 2700 B.C., and offers the chance to study a complex type of society whose distinguishing features were its defensive elements against the outside, its burial rituals and its metalworking skills. The settlement stands on a plateau protected by four concentric walls built at different periods as the city gradually spread. Inside the fortress, which measured 4 metres tall by 310 metres wide, there lived as many as 1000 people at its time of maximum splendour. Its necropolis had 100 tombs in the form of tumuli. The objects found on the site, in addition to the furnaces for smelting copper, leave no doubt as to their advanced metalworking skills.

Party with a purpose: Dave Lewis' Pink and Purple Polyester Party supports K-State cancer research
Submitted by Communications and Marketing
Dave Lewis, public address announcer for Kansas State University football and men's basketball games and a Riley County commissioner, is ready to throw another party to benefit K-State's Johnson Center for Basic Cancer Research.
Lewis will host and emcee the second annual Pink and Purple Polyester Party to raise funds for the center and celebrate the life of his late wife, Elena, who died of breast cancer in 2006. The party will be at 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 28, at the Houston Street Ballroom, 427 Houston St.
"I wanted to honor Elena by creating a scholarship endowment for cancer research in her name," said Lewis, a member of the center's advisory council.
"This is very personal for our family because of Elena's fight against cancer and because two of her sisters are breast cancer survivors," Lewis said. "Also, we all have daughters, and I want to support the center's mission to conquer cancer in our lifetime for their sakes."
The party's theme is reflected in its name. Lewis said pink represents breast cancer, purple represents K-State and polyester represents the atmosphere he will create: the era of the late 1960s to early 1980s. Partygoers are encouraged to dress the era, but costumes are not required.
The party will feature music and dancing, a photo booth, silent auction, elegant appetizers, a cash bar and more. The public is invited. Tickets are $25 each and can be purchased using the reservation form at http://www.cancer.k-state.edu/news-events/170 or by calling the center at 785-532-6705.
K-State's Johnson Center for Basic Cancer Research supports basic cancer research, education, training and public outreach. Its programs are made possible through private donations.

Erdahl-Cloyd Wing
Atrium Food Court
Scroll below for building history
Location: North Campus
Built 1952
Sq. Footage 59,885
Often called the Atrium, this structure provides students with an alternative to cafeteria dining. Chick-Fil-A Express, Brickyard Pizza and Pasta, Zen Blossom, and Delirious are inside, as well as meal selections and a campus convenience store. It also contains the Erdahl-Cloyd Theater. Formerly the student union, the building is named after two former administrators in Student Affairs, Gerald Orlando Theodore Erdahl and Edward Lamar Cloyd.
Erdahl became director of the Student Union from 1949-1961 after he had developed a student union in Wisconsin that was famous among the nation's universities. He helped NC State faculty members to form their own club and originated the Friends of the College Concert Series. In addition, he wrote a widely circulated column on philosophy, was a cartoonist, and served as president of the American Association of College Unions. The slogan, "There's a Ford in Your Future," is one that Erdahl coined in a contest he won for the Ford Motor Company's advertising campaign. A former Air Force captain, Erdahl served in the European Theater during World War II.
E. L. Cloyd, a 1915 alumnus, served NC State for 36 years as Dean of Students. Aware of the national movement toward establishing and building student unions, Cloyd was the impetus behind the movement at State. During his undergraduate years, he represented the college in interstate debating and in various musical organizations. As Dean, his interest in student involvement was evident in his work with all student organizations on campus, particularly the Interfraternity Council.
After closing for a year for renovations, the new Atrium food court opened in January 2011. A new seating area for the Atrium was completed in August 2011.

Definitions come from National Hurricane Center.
- Eye: The roughly circular area of comparatively light winds that encompasses the center of a severe tropical cyclone. The eye is either completely or partially surrounded by the eyewall cloud.
Eyewall / Wall Cloud: An organized band or ring of cumulonimbus clouds that surround the eye, or light-wind center of a tropical cyclone. Eyewall and wall cloud are used synonymously.
Extratropical: A term used to indicate that a cyclone has lost its "tropical" characteristics. The term implies both poleward displacement of the cyclone and the conversion of the cyclone's primary energy source from the release of energy from evaporating ocean water to the temperature contrast between warm and cold air masses. It is important to note that cyclones can become extratropical and still retain winds of hurricane or tropical storm force.
Fujiwhara Effect: The tendency of two nearby tropical cyclones to rotate cyclonically about each other.
Gale Warning: A warning of 1-minute sustained surface winds in the range 39 mph (34 kts.) to 54 mph (47 kts.) inclusive, either predicted or occurring and not directly associated with tropical cyclones.
High Wind Warning: A high wind warning is defined as 1-minute average surface winds of 40 mph (35 kt) or greater lasting for 1 hour or longer, or winds gusting to 58 mph (50 kts.) or greater regardless of duration that are either expected or observed over land.
Hurricane: A tropical cyclone in which the maximum sustained surface wind (using the U.S. 1-minute average) is 74 mph (64 kts.) or more. The term hurricane is used for Northern Hemisphere tropical cyclones east of the International Dateline to the Greenwich Meridian.
- Hurricane Season: The portion of the year having a relatively high incidence of hurricanes. The hurricane season in the Atlantic, Caribbean, and Gulf of Mexico runs from June 1 to November 30.
- Hurricane Warning: A warning that sustained winds 74 mph (64 kts.) or higher associated with a hurricane are expected in a specified coastal area in 24 hours or less. A hurricane warning can remain in effect when dangerously high water or a combination of dangerously high water and exceptionally high waves continue, even though winds may be less than hurricane force.
Hurricane Watch: An announcement for specific coastal areas that hurricane conditions are possible within 36 hours.
- Landfall: The intersection of the surface center of a tropical cyclone with a coastline. Because the strongest winds in a tropical cyclone are not located precisely at the center, it is possible for a cyclone's strongest winds to be experienced over land even if landfall does not occur. Similarly, it is possible for a tropical cyclone to make landfall and have its strongest winds remain over the water.
- Storm Surge: An abnormal rise in sea level accompanying a hurricane or other intense storm, and whose height is the difference between the observed level of the sea surface and the level that would have occurred in the absence of the cyclone. Storm surge is usually estimated by subtracting the normal or astronomic high tide from the observed storm tide.
Storm Tide: The actual level of sea water resulting from the astronomic tide combined with the storm surge.
Storm Warning: A warning of 1-minute sustained surface winds of 55 mph (48 kts.) or greater, either predicted or occurring, not directly associated with tropical cyclones.
Subtropical Cyclone: A non-frontal low pressure system that has characteristics of both tropical and extratropical cyclones. The most common type is an upper-level cold low with circulation extending to the surface layer and maximum sustained winds generally occurring at a radius of about 100 miles or more from the center. In comparison to tropical cyclones, such systems have a relatively broad zone of maximum winds that is located farther from the center, and typically have a less symmetric wind field and distribution of convection. A second type of subtropical cyclone is a small-scale low pressure center originating in or near a developing frontal zone of horizontal wind shear, with radius of maximum sustained winds generally less than 30 miles. The entire circulation may initially have a diameter of less than 100 miles. These generally short-lived systems may be either cold core or warm core.
Subtropical Depression: A subtropical cyclone in which the maximum sustained surface wind speed (using the U.S. 1-minute average) is 38 mph (33 kts.) or less.
Subtropical Storm: A subtropical cyclone in which the maximum sustained surface wind speed (using the U.S. 1-minute average) is 39 mph (34 kts.) or more.
Tropical Cyclone: A warm-core (warm at the surface and several miles above the ground) non-frontal cyclone, originating over tropical or subtropical waters, with organized deep convection and a closed surface wind circulation about a well-defined center. Once formed, a tropical cyclone is maintained by the extraction of heat energy from the ocean at high temperature and heat export at the low temperatures of the upper troposphere. In this they differ from extratropical cyclones, which derive their energy from horizontal temperature contrasts in the atmosphere.
- Tropical Depression: A tropical cyclone in which the maximum sustained surface wind speed (using the U.S. 1-minute average) is 38 mph (33 kts.) or less.
Tropical Disturbance: A discrete tropical weather system of apparently organized convection -- generally 100 to 300 nautical miles in diameter -- originating in the tropics or subtropics and maintaining its identity for 24 hours or more.
- Tropical Storm: A tropical cyclone in which the maximum sustained surface wind speed (using the U.S. 1-minute average) ranges from 39 mph (34 kts.) to 73 mph (63 kts.).
Tropical Storm Warning: A warning that sustained winds within the range of 39 to 73 mph (34 to 63 kts.) associated with a tropical cyclone are expected in a specified coastal area within 24 hours or less.
Tropical Storm Watch: An announcement for specific coastal areas that tropical storm conditions are possible within 36 hours.
Tropical Wave: A trough or cyclonic curvature maximum in the trade-wind easterlies.

Know when to lease or buy a car
When it comes to getting a new car, many people wrestle with whether to lease or buy. Both methods have advantages and disadvantages, so it's important to understand your needs and payment habits before signing on the dotted line.
With a loan, you borrow money to purchase the car then own it once the loan is paid off. With a lease, however, you agree to pay a leasing agency [a lender often identified through the car dealer or manufacturer] to use the car during the lease period -- but you're never the owner unless you decide to buy it after the lease ends.
Leasing advantages
Some people prefer to lease because monthly payments and upfront costs can be significantly less than with a loan; thus, they can either budget less for transportation or drive a more expensive car. Many who lease prefer driving a new car every few years, don't mind permanent monthly payments and like that the car is usually under full warranty throughout the lease.
And, if you use the car for business, you can usually deduct depreciation and interest from your taxes -- not so when you purchase outright.
Leasing does have potential downsides, however: It's often difficult and expensive to get out of a lease, so if you think your income or employment status may change dramatically, tread carefully [for example, should you lose your job, retire, get sick, etc.]
Standard mileage allowances are typically 12,000 to 15,000 miles annually. If you average more than that per year during your lease, you'll likely pay 10 to 25 cents for each excess mile. [Some leases allow upfront payment for excess miles at a reduced rate.]
You're responsible to pay for any unreasonable wear and tear and to remove any customized features you've added.
If you lease a more expensive car, your insurance costs likely will be higher. And remember, bigger cars usually get worse gas mileage.
If you do decide to lease, always try to negotiate a lower initial sales price for the car, because your monthly lease payment is largely based on the difference between this price and what the leasing agency thinks it can sell the car for when the lease expires. Thus, the smaller the difference between those two costs, the better for you.
Compare leasing packages from multiple dealers and leasing agencies, and don't hesitate to arrange your own financing. A dealer may be willing to find you similar or better financing to get your business.
If you think you might want to buy the car when the lease ends, check how much comparable used cars cost at sites such as Kelly Blue Book [www.kbb.com], www.edmunds.com, and www.cars.com, to make sure you get a good deal. And don't be afraid to offer less -- the lender may have a glut of cars to sell and be receptive to your offer.
Practical Money Skills for Life, a free personal financial management site sponsored by Visa USA, contains a comprehensive guide to considerations for buying or leasing a car [www.practicalmoneyskills.com/car]. As always, consult a financial professional regarding your particular situation.
So bottom line: Weigh the choice between leasing and owning carefully to make sure pick the right option for your situation.

Christmas went very well. I can say I am one spoiled boy! I have a wonderful wife with wonderful family. I am fortunate enough to have a comfortable home and a job to provide income. Who could ask for more? I have clothes to cover me, and gained more this Christmas. I have food to fill my belly (that of course does not include all the tasty junk food that comes this time of year).
The weather was in the upper 60's with an almost continual rainfall all day. It was pretty. It was a nice relaxed day.
I phoned and talked to all my immediate family that I could. It was good to visit with them.
Dad is doing very well. He said for the first time in the last 10 or so years, he does not have swollen ankles. Something the doctors attribute to
the liver and gallbladder problems. He said he is still sore in the tummy, but the water weight is falling off him. In the last week he has squeezed
in his belt 3 notches. He says his breathing capacity is back up to what it was in about 2000. Another thing attributed to his liver and gallbladder.
Andra is happy and doesn't have any complaints. She had a Merry Christmas and was looking forward to going out to Dad's place for the evening. I wonder what she thought of her present.
Amanda's family continues to do well. They rehearsed all the presents and how their morning had gone. It sounds like Christmas was good for them.
I visited with Rose Byrom from Runcorn for at least an hour over the two days. Who would have thought the housewife of 7 years ago would now be a lecturer at John Moore University and Halton/Riverside University? Neither she nor I would have believed you. She should have her Master's by the end of 2007. Life changes quickly.
I sat down and did some family history. Ended up with a serious road bump in some of my research. I found the Confederate Record for James A
Meredith. In the 1880 Census my James Thomas Meredith is living with an old man, James Meredith. That old man claimed little James was his son. That just seems implausible. How did he marry Nancy Graham if he was still married? Oh his wife is living with a sick daughter in that same census. So, knowing Nancy married a James Meredith, we always assumed it was old man James' son, James Jr who was the father of James Thomas Meredith. Well, I found the Confederate record for James' service. He was killed in Lexington, Virginia in a battle in 1864. Well, that makes it pretty difficult for him to be the father of a boy born 4 years later. Everything points that this confederate soldier, James Anderson Meredith is the same James A Meredith, son of James and Sarah Meredith. Their birth years, even the A for a middle name, and the soldier joined the Confederate Army in Pulaski County. The missing James A Meredith did not add any more children to his family, and his wife is alone and head of household in 1870. So, it all pieces together. So now back to the drawing board. Is old man Meredith really the father of James Thomas? Is that the real reason why he and his wife are living apart, or is it really as the census says, she is ill? Why did Nancy let the boy go to live with the father/grandfather? Where is the marriage record? That is what I really need to verify she married a James. Oh, another piece of evidence, old man James' history tells he lost two sons in the war. Daniel, and another not named. This could certainly be the James A I have been seeking for such a long time.
On a good note, I found the father my Edith (Edie) Boothe. His name was Daniel Boothe and had quite the family. It took me a good hour just to get everything in relation to his children and wives situated. I also pursued some more on the Martin lines hoping to find something, but nothing yet. Will Virginia yield her secrets to me? I sure hope so.
Tomorrow we are headed back up to Washington. Taylor Duncan's wedding is at 1:00 and we are planning on attending the temple while we are there. It will be great to see Paul and Kathy again, along with the rest of the family. I wonder who else of the family will be coming out. I have some new temple names to print up while we are there. Should be a good day.

Head Huggers
Someone asked me to make something for them. For all of us that have a ton of hair to put under a hat... This is what I came up with by looking at a few pictures. They are very easy and quick to make.
I used an H hook. The fall colored one is Red Heart Super Saver, the Earth tones is Lilys Sugar and Cream
Rnd 1) ch 62, sl st to first ch to form ring, being careful not to twist, ch3, (counts as first dc and ch1) * skip next ch, dc in next ch, ch1, repeat from * around. sl st to 2nd ch of ch3
Rnd 2) sl st into ch 1 space, ch3, * skip next dc, dc in next ch1 space, ch1, repeat from * around. sl st to 2nd ch of ch3
Repeat rnd 2 for desired length mine was about 8-9 inches.
Next rnd) ch1, Hdc in same st, hdc in each st around. st st to top of first hdc. Repeat this round for 8 more rnds.
Next Rnd) Reverse single crochet around. Fasten off weave in ends
Tie) Chain 65 add beads to each end, weave in first dc round.
Please feel free to use or sell your own creations, but please give me credit for the pattern.

Simple Little Striped Shrug
This is just a rough pattern of what I have done for this shrug. I looked and looked for something I liked that wouldn't take a lot of time and to do what was asked of me! My girls know what they like.
This pattern is very easily adjustable. It's mostly a matter of measuring who the finished product is for. I used a size 10 US needle,and a 9 US for the neck ribbing and Bernat Baby Jacquards. My daughter is in a size 10-12, and I knit kind of loose. I didn't do a gauge, sorry about that. I used less than one skein.
I cast on 32sts, and did K2, P2 for 10 rows slipping first st of each row through out shrug, this makes an easier line up for sewing.
K1 row
P1 row for a total length from beginning of 6 inches.(mine was for elbow length so you can add here or make shorter)
On every knit row I did- Slip one, knit front and back of next st (increase made) knit accross to last two sts, increase in next st, knit last st,
Slipping first st, purl next row. Increase as many rows as you want. I added about 12 sts.
I then knit accross however many inches for the back, measuring from sholder blade to shoulder blade. Once I had the right length I then started the decrease rows, slip first st, ssk, knit accross to last three sts, k2tog, knit last st, then purl the purl rows, until you have the starting amount of sts. knit stockinette sts (knit knit rows, purl purl rows) for same amount as beginning side before increasing. I then did the 10 rows of 2x2 ribbing.
Sew up from ribbing what you would like for sleeves depending on how long you make your shrug, since mine is shorter, I only sewed up about maybe 6 inches on each side. You want to make sure you leave enough room for putting on..Measuring is VERY good!
I then used a circular needle 9mm, and picked up stitches around the opening to make a 2x2 ribbing around.
Please feel free to ask any questions. I know this isn't really a clear pattern. I am just giving a rough estimate of what I made.

Maryland Attorney General Douglas F. Gansler will jump into the 2014 race for governor Tuesday, setting the stage for what is likely to be a fiercely competitive contest for the Democratic nomination.
Gansler, 50, will formally launch his campaign with an appearance in downtown Rockville in his home county of Montgomery — part of a six-day, 17-stop rollout of his bid to succeed term-limited Gov. Martin O'Malley.
Political observers expect Gansler to be a formidable contender.
"Anybody who dismisses his prospects would be short-sighted," said Todd Eberly, a political science professor at St. Mary's College of Southern Maryland. "He wants it, and I think he'll fight for it."
The two-term attorney general's announcement comes four months after Lt. Gov Anthony G. Brown became the first Democrat to launch his campaign. Del. Heather Mizeur of Montgomery County joined the race in July.
Gansler held back on a formal announcement, calculating that voters wouldn't tune into the governor's contest until summer's end. But he has run an active quasi-campaign. Since June, he has been holding policy forums around the state on a wide range of issues, including criminal justice reform, domestic violence prevention and reviving Maryland manufacturing.
"Our race is all about ideas," Gansler said in an interview Monday. He is positioning himself as an anti-establishment candidate who will shake up the status quo.
Gansler has staked out some positions counter to those of the O'Malley administration, notably his support for a cut in the state's corporate tax rate. He also took a strong early stand in support of increasing the state minimum wage next year, calling for it to go up from $7.25 to $10. The governor has endorsed an increase in principle but has not settled on a specific proposal.
Gansler was critical of the direction of Maryland's economy under O'Malley and promised to make the state more competitive.
"We'll be stressing the need to bring jobs back to Maryland, to stop the bleeding of jobs to our neighboring states," he said. Another big difference between the O'Malley administration and a Gansler administration would be a greater emphasis on diversity in hiring, he said.
If he makes it through the primary, Gansler can expect Republicans to dismiss any promises of change as inconsequential.
"Doug Gansler is a nice enough fellow and he's certainly very ambitious, but there's not a hill of beans' worth of difference between Doug Gansler and Anthony Brown," said Larry Hogan, president of the conservative advocacy group Change Maryland. "They're both tax-and-spend liberal Democrats."
The announced Republican candidates are Harford County Executive David R. Craig, Del. Ron George of Anne Arundel County and Charles County business executive Charles Lollar. Hogan has said he is considering a run. The party primaries are June 24.
While Gansler has been waiting to announce, Brown has been piling up Democratic endorsements, including Reps. Elijah E. Cummings, Steny Hoyer, Donna Edwards, and John Sarbanes, Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake and Sen. Barbara A. Mikulski.
Whether that makes much of a difference is questionable. "Every political scientist who has ever studied this will tell you endorsements nearly never have an impact on an election outcome," Eberly said.
Even as an unannounced candidate, the outspoken Gansler has not steered clear of controversy. In August, news emerged that Gansler had told campaign volunteers in a closed-door meeting that Brown's core message was: "Vote for me, I want to be the first African-American governor of Maryland." Brown's campaign demanded an apology; Gansler refused.
The Democratic primary for governor is likely to be far more challenging than Gansler's previous runs for office. He made his debut in elected politics in 1998 when he left his job as a federal prosecutor to challenge the incumbent Montgomery County state's attorney. Aided by a late-breaking sex scandal affecting his chief rival, Gansler won the Democratic primary by a comfortable margin and cruised to election in November. He was unopposed for re-election in 2002.
His tenure as state's attorney was marked by high-profile cases, including the prosecution of Washington-area snipers John Muhammad and Lee Boyd Malvo for murders they committed in Montgomery. Gansler's outspoken style occasionally led to clashes with the judiciary, and in 2003 he was reprimanded by the state Court of Appeals over remarks he made to the news media about pending cases.
After the reprimand, Gansler was unrepentant, saying that the aim of the original complaint was to hurt him politically and insisting that he had a "moral, ethical and legal responsibility" to inform the public of the operations of the criminal justice system.
With the retirement of Attorney General J. Joseph Curran in 2006, Gansler set his sights on statewide office. He won the primary by 10 percentage points and the general election by 20.
In 2010, Gansler faced only token opposition. The lack of competition let him carry over $3 million in campaign funds for the 2014 election, giving him an early leg up in fundraising for the governor's race. Gansler started the year with about $5 million, far exceeding Brown's $1.6 million. Brown has since closed the gap by forming a team with Howard County Executive Ken Ulman, who had $2.1 million on hand in January before deciding to forgo a gubernatorial race and sign up as Brown's running mate.
Like Brown and Mizeur, Gansler is under pressure to raise money before the General Assembly convenes in January. All three are covered by a Maryland law that bans state elected officials from raising money during the annual 90-day session. When it ends in April, there will be an all-out sprint to the primary in June. In past years, it has been held in September.
With his announcement behind him, Gansler's next test will be to select a running mate who will bring balance, and perhaps some votes, to the ticket.
He stated in a private session, which later became public, that his running mate would be an African-American from Baltimore City or Prince George's County. Among those mentioned as possible choices are Baltimore Comptroller Joan Pratt, Del. Keiffer J. Mitchell Jr. and Prince George's County Dels. Jolene Ivey and Melony Griffith.
Gansler said Monday that he hasn't chosen a running mate and hasn't talked with anyone about coming aboard his ticket.
He said he will seek a partner "that I can work with who shares my vision."

CPSR/Georgia (Atlanta)
Welcome to CPSR Georgia!This chapter was founded in 1997 and has maintained a steady program of activities. Most of its activity is based at the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) in Atlanta, where there is a student chapter and where CPSR Board member Hans Klein is on the faculty of the School of Public Policy.
Testimony to the Georgia State Legislature: House Bill 687 "Super DMCA"On 23 April 2003 Georgia Tech professor and CPSR Chair Hans Klein testified before the House Utilities Commission on a bill to strengthen protections for intellectual property on digital networks. Prof. Klein argued that the bill was part of a broad policy initiative by intellectual property interests active in the World Trade Organization, the US Congress, and state governments to shift the balance of public and private interests in favor of such groups as the Motion Picture Association of American (MPAA) and the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). He recommended that Georgia rely on existing legislation and not pass new rules in this area. For more information on state legislature of this nature click here.
The US War on Iraq
CPSR co-sponsors Atlanta Internet activism portal: AtlantaGrassroots.org CPSR co-sponsors Teach-in at Georgia Tech held on April 11. See news coverage in student newspaper.

Full program here.
US Congressman Bob Barr speaks on Civil Liberties in Cyberspace (Feb. 15, 2002)U.S. Congressman Bob Barr about citizens' rights to online privacy. His talk was based on his experiences with the Department of Justice and the Central Intelligence Agency and addressed responsible governance of the Internet. CPSR co-sponsored this event by the Georgia Tech School of Public Policy.
Georgia Tech: Student Chapter of CPSR Founded, 2000Georgia Tech graduate students Dara O'Neil and Rob Orr officially founded the student chapter of CPSR in the winter of 2000. Although the campus has hosted numerous CPSR activities, especially since the founding of the CPSR Georgia chapter, this student chapter should increase that activity. For more information contact Dara or Rob.
National Conference on DNS Management and Internet GovernanceThe CPSR Georgia chapter provided most of the resources to put on the CPSR's national conference, Governing the Commons: The Future of Global Internet Administration, held near Washington, DC, in September 1999. That event assembled both critics and supporters of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). They keynote speaker for that event was Ralph Nader, and the event received press coverage in The New York Times, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, and overseas press. This event was co-sponsored by the Georgia Tech School of Public Policy, College of Computing, Ivan Allen College, and School of Literature, Communication and Culture.
Internet Governance: DragonCon Atlanta, 1999CPSR National Chair and Georgia Tech professor Hans Klein gave a talk at the DragonCon Conference in Atlanta on July 1999. He described and analyzed the potentially wide-ranging powers of the new Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), which is poised to become the centralized governance and regulatory institution for all of cyberspace. The series of policy talks at DragonCon included talks by first amendment lawyer J. Scott McClain. The speaker series was organized by former CPSR Board member Robert Costner and the group he founded, Electronic Frontiers Georgia (EFGA).
Privacy in Cyberspace: CPSR testimony at Social Security Hearings, Atlanta 1997Following a public outcry after it made tax records accessible over the Internet, the Social Security Administration held public hearings to learn how to better ensure taxpayer privacy. Public hearings were held in Georgia, California, and numerous other states around the country. At the Atlanta hearings, held in June 1997, CPSR member Robert Costner testified about the importance of new technologies to ensure privacy, and CPSR member Hans Klein testified on the importance of diffusing awareness of privacy to all federal agencies. To learn more about this event, read the Public Forum Transcript or go straight to the transcripts of Robert Costner's presentation or Hans Klein's presentation.
Pretty Good Privacy: PGP Creator Phil Zimmermann Speaks at Georgia TechPhil Zimmermann came to Georgia Tech campus as the guest of CPSR Georgia and Georgia Tech's School of Public Policy and College of Computing. Zimmermann spoke about his experiences as the object of a criminal investigation following his creation and diffusion of Pretty Good Privacy, a program that puts the power of encryption in the hands of all computer users.
Anonymity in Cyberspace: CPSR in the Federal CourtroomHans Klein gave expert testimony in Federal District Court in Atlanta in January 1997 in the case ACLU of Georgia v. Miller. He testified on the implications of Georgia law forbidding anonymous communications on computer networks. For more information about this case, see the relevant ACLU web pages from the ACLU Georgia and the national ACLU site.

Michelle Obama Hilariously Breaks Down Why Melania Trump's Inauguration Gift Exchange Appeared So Awkward
The former FLOTUS also explained to Ellen Degeneres how Barack stepped in and saved the day.
To the dads and soon-to-be dads: Let's admit it — Father's Day is one of those "holidays" that even dads are laid back about. In fact, as a young man I never thought much about actually being a father; well at least to the extent that I was planning to become a priest. So, as my stepdad moved from moment to moment in my life, it did not occur to me that he was planting little seeds of information, inspiration and wisdom that I would one day come to rely on in raising my two sons.
What I have discovered for many dads is those moments we have with our children seem to come and go faster and faster leaving little time or room to fully appreciate that our "little ones" are becoming a "young adults" — that is, until you tell her she's not going out dressed like that; or you demand that your son shave that "mess" off his face.
It's true at times it may have seemed as if your dad was trying to plan things for you; he really wasn't. OK, he was (it's in our nature), but it's only because as Shakespeare once observed, "It is a wise father that knows his own child."
Very often it's hard to appreciate that our journey from infancy to adulthood was as scary for our parents as it was for us. And for many dads, whose role in the home has become the butt of sitcom humor or stereotyped to the point of irrelevancy, that journey remains one of great joy, anticipation and trepidation because, despite the knocks he takes (and sometimes inflicts on himself), he still wants to protect you; and, ultimately, to help you become you. It is, for a dad, a part of the process of letting go.
But what every father knows more than anything else is that being a dad is not about the biological link to a child or about asserting authority over that child or even being a friend, but rather about raising your child to respect and to love him or herself and others. It is about the kind of person that child will be someday.
However, dads can still be a little unorthodox at times.
For example, your dad will spend the first two years of your life teaching you to walk and talk and the next 16 years telling you to sit down and shut up.
Or in the way your dad makes a point. I'm reminded of the dad who tells of the time his progeny came home from school with a report card on which the highest grade was a C-. So, he signed his son's report card with an "X." And when his son asked him why he did that he explained because with grades like those he didn't want his teachers to think he was being raised by people who could actually read and write.
And, of course, every dad knows the quickest way to get your child's attention is to say, "No!" (I still haven't figured out why that doesn't work on my wife.)
I guess sometimes a little unorthodoxy is a good thing particularly as the world around us pushes conflicting and dangerous signals on matters of morals and responsibilities. With my own sons I find myself recalling how my dad helped me define what it means to be a strong, faithful and conscientious person in the face of such challenges.
So to the fathers who care more than they sometimes show, who are at times absent, even when they are there we appreciate your fears and your joys for us because we know how hard it is for you to let go.
I know one day my boys will leave for places far from home — too soon for their mother and not soon enough for me. But I also know they will have been well prepared to confront the world that awaits them because a father's love, lessons, faith and traditions have been passed on to them as they were passed on to me.
And so it will be for you when your child comes to you for the answer to some of life's most complex problems, you will, at that moment, think back to your childhood and those pearls of wisdom passed on to you by your father and know instinctively the only possible answer you can give is the one your father gave you: "I don't know, go ask your mother."
Happy Father's Day!
