SAN DIEGO (CNS) - The NFL and about 4,500 former players have tentatively agreed to settle lawsuits over brain injuries, such as one suffered by the late Chargers star linebacker Junior Seau.
The $765 million settlement was reached following mediation in Philadelphia. It still requires the approval of a federal judge.
Under the agreement, the NFL and NFL Properties will provide medical benefits and injury compensation for retired NFL football players, fund medical and safety research, and cover litigation expenses.
"This agreement lets us help those who need it most and continue our work to make the game safer for current and future players," NFL Executive Vice President Jeffrey Pash said. "Commissioner (Roger) Goodell and every owner gave the legal team the same direction: do the right thing for the game and for the men who played it."
Pash said it was critical to get more help to players and families who deserve it rather than spend many years and millions of dollars on litigation. He called the agreement an important step that builds on changes made in recent years to make the game safer.
Seau's family filed a lawsuit in January in San Diego Superior Court, and it was later folded into the federal case.
The Oceanside resident, who grew up in the North County seaside city, died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound in May 2012. His son said he suffered from wild mood swings, irrationality, forgetfulness, insomnia and depression that got progressively worse over time.
An examination of Seau's brain by federal health officials determined that he suffered from a debilitating brain condition common to people who have suffered repetitive head injuries.
The listed plaintiffs on the Seau lawsuit are Gina Seau, Seau's ex-wife; their children Tyler, Sydney, Jake and Hunter, and Bette Hoffman, trustee of his estate.
The office of one of the family's lawyers, Steven Strauss, said they had no immediate comment on the tentative settlement.
Former federal Judge Layn Phillips, who presided over the mediation, said the "historic agreement" will make sure that former NFL players who need and deserve compensation will receive it. He said it would also promote safety for players at all levels of football.
"Rather than litigate literally thousands of complex individual claims over many years, the parties have reached an agreement that, if approved, will provide relief and support where it is needed at a time when it is most needed," Phillips said.
Once final documentation is completed, the settlement will be filed with U.S. District Judge Anita Brody, who will schedule a hearing to consider whether to grant preliminary approval to the agreement. If the settlement receives preliminary approval, the judge will direct the parties to distribute notice to the retired players.
After giving retired players an opportunity to file objections to the settlement, she will hold a hearing to consider whether to grant final approval. The judge is expected to issue the precise schedule within a few weeks.
THIS IS A STORY UPDATE. For an earlier AP story, read below.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The NFL has reached a tentative $765 million settlement over concussion-related brain injuries among its 18,000 retired players, agreeing to compensate victims, pay for medical exams and underwrite research.
A federal judge announced the agreement Thursday after months of court-ordered mediation. It came just days before the start of the 2013 season.
More than 4,500 former athletes — some suffering from dementia, depression or Alzheimer's that they blamed on blows to the head — had sued the league, accusing it of concealing the dangers of concussions and rushing injured players back onto the field while glorifying and profiting from the kind of bone-jarring hits that make for spectacular highlight-reel footage.
The NFL has long denied any wrongdoing and insisted that safety has always been a top priority. But the NFL said Thursday that Commissioner Roger Goodell told pro football's lawyers to "do the right thing for the game and the men who played it."
The plaintiffs included Hall of Famer Tony Dorsett, Super Bowl-winning quarterback Jim McMahon and the family of Pro Bowler Junior Seau, who committed suicide last year.
Under the settlement, individual awards would be capped at $5 million for men with Alzheimer's disease; $4 million for those diagnosed after their deaths with a brain condition called chronic traumatic encephalopathy; and $3 million for players with dementia, said lead plaintiffs' lawyer Christopher Seeger.
Any of the approximately 18,000 former NFL players are eligible.
Senior U.S. District Judge Anita Brody in Philadelphia announced the proposed agreement and will consider approving it at a later date.
The settlement most likely means the NFL won't have to disclose internal files about what it knew, and when, about concussion-linked brain problems. Lawyers had been eager to learn, for instance, about the workings of the league's Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Committee, which was led for more than a decade by a rheumatologist.
In court arguments in April, NFL lawyer Paul Clement asked the judge to dismiss the lawsuits and send them to arbitration under terms of the players' contract. He said that individual teams bear the chief responsibility for health and safety under the collective bargaining agreement, along with the players' union and the players themselves.
Players lawyer David Frederick accused the league of concealing studies linking concussions to neurological problems for decades.
In recent years, a string of former NFL players and other concussed athletes have been diagnosed after their deaths with chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE. Those ex-players included Seau and lead plaintiff Ray Easterling, who filed the first lawsuit in Philadelphia in August 2011 but later committed suicide.
About one-third of the league's 12,000 former players eventually joined the litigation. They include a few hundred "gap" players, who played during years when there was no labor contract in place, and were therefore considered likely to win the right to sue.

New Mate: Emina Creamatte (Review)
Matte trend strongly hit our ground, especially for liquid lipsticks. Make up brands came out with a lot of flattering products of liquid lipsticks from Colourpop, Kylie Cosmetics, Stila, Maybelline, and a lot of others. This trend entering Indonesia and our local brands launched their matte liquid lipsticks, one by one.
We all know that liquid lipstick or lipcream are the trend for the past few years, and now metallic lipstick. Today I'm not gonna talk about metallic trend (just yet). I want to introduce you to my new mate from Emina Cosmetics, which is Emina Creamatte.
Emina is pretty much new make up brand here in Indonesia. They're targeting young girls in high school. It shows on their packaging so clearly. They're so cutie and girly. Not really my kind of design preferences, but they're so good. This Creamatte is their first liquid lipsticks.
Creamatte. Matte. So you know, they'll have matte finish on your lips. The texture of this liquid lispticks are creamy, but not as creamy as Colourpop ultra matte lip. The texture is creamier than Wardah Exclusive Matte Lipcream (I'm sure everyone in my country knows this products). This creamatte is a little bit sheer, and you need to apply the products in two layers. Creamatte will have powdery finish and a little bit sticky before it dries completely. One thing that everyone will loves, it's transferproof. Don't worry, it still feel comfortable on your lips.
For price 45,000 rupiahs (around $3-$4 dollars approximately) with amount of products 5.5grams, this is so affordable. The price are appropriate with their target market who are high school girls with very low budget.
Creamatte available on seven different shades, and I currently just own two favorite shades from all their shades.
This shade are PERFECT! I just can't handle myself not to but this shades. I love brown lipsticks, but I never thought this brown is so purrrfect (sorry, I just love this shades so much). This is my most favorite brown ever. This brown have a cool undertone and suitable for everyday life cause it's look like nude brown. This chocolava reminds me of Colourpop Ultra Satin Lips in Point Zero, but this one is a little bit have more orange to it.
Fuzzy Wuzzy is everyone daily colours, I believe. Because I see a lot of friends loving this color tone everyday (different products). This shade have pink and a little bit brown to it. At first impression, I thought they were nude color, but in my lips they just looks brighter. I love this color even though I'm not gonna wear it everyday. When I wear this shades on my lips, I was like "whoa, too feminine for me".Just for special occasion (such as wedding event, or cute other event) because I still love them.
P.S. : Every shades of lipsticks will be different on each skin tone. Sometimes looks darker, sometimes look brighter. It depends on your skin tone.
Overall, I love this Creamatte from Emina Cosmetics. I think they're worth to buy and repurchase (cause I want to try other shades lol). They also came out with such amazing shades which I love. The product itself has good quality and quantity. If you wanna try on your lips, you can get them at Emina playground. I got mine on Emina Playground Supermall Pakuwon Indah Surabaya.
So, for love, hopefully this review will be helpfull

Screen Recording
There a many differnent tools available to do screen recordings. Here are two that I recently used.
Screenr is a free and easy to use Web 2.0 tool. I used it to create short instructional screen recordings for my class that I embedded on my class website. Here are some examples stored in my account online.
Another easy to use tool for screen shots and screen recordings is Jing. The software is free to download and to install on your computer. It lets you create screen shots in png format and record videos in swf format. Picture or video files can be saved on your computer or stored and shared in the cloud on Screencast.com.
Do you have any suggestions for creating screen casts?
claireonline permalink
Hi Rita,
Another free screen-casting application that is worth checking out is Screencast-O-Matic (http://www.screencast-o-matic.com/). I have used Screenr and Jing before, but right now Screencast-O-Matic is my favourite. It allows you to upload your video directly to YouTube, to Screencast-O-Matic's own site, and you can download the movie file directly to your computer. Definitely worth checking out.

Mr Aggarwal made us try few of their specialty sweets like, Dhaniya Panjiri, Makhana Mithai, Gond Mithai, Dry Fruit Panjiri, Bikaneri Burfi, Cocunut Mithai, etc. The best thing we like about each of these were that it had the perfect amount of sweetness and very light on the stomach. Mr Aggarwal told us that he follows the principal that pure ingredients won't falter. He is a passionate man and that passion fuels his ideology to offer the best of the things to his customers. He shared another example of his creativeness. Kaleva does chocolate based liquid colors during Holi which are good for the skin. They are also coming up with candy floss made with natural colors and natural fruit flavors like Mango, Strawberry, etc.

Hiya! I wasn't sure what to call this post so I hope holographic swirl nail art will do. I wore this a while ago and posted it to Instagram, but thought I needed to do a blog post on it too as I loved wearing it. The base is Glam Polish Without Love from this year's Hairspray Collection and the purple on top is ulta3 Radiant Orchid. I bought swirl vinyls recently from Emily de Molly and wanted to try them – I think it's a great result!
I haven't used vinyls before and so was really surprised with how easy they were to use. They have much better sticking power than nail stickers. I bought some other vinyls as well (squares and long triangles) that I'll have to use now after the success of this attempt. I love this look with the holo peeking through. It looks more difficult than what it really is. Thanks for reading!

How to primary culture adipocytes?
Posted 23 April 2002 - 08:51 AM
Posted 10 September 2013 - 08:53 PM
I have the same problem, I isolated adipocytes and SVF (stromalvascular fraction) from mouse fat pads and there is huge volume of oil in cell cultures.. numerous washings helps to reduce it but despite this some volume of fat remains in culture.. as I know oil is toxic for cell culture..
does anyone know how to separate adipocytes from the oil released from disrupted mature adipocytes?
Posted 11 September 2013 - 03:32 PM
You should be able to pellet the cells to remove the oil. Oil should float whereas cells will sink.
Posted 12 September 2013 - 10:41 PM
Thank you! I isolate two fractions from mouse adipose tissue - mature adipocytes and stromal-vascular fraction.
In the case of SVF - yes, it is true.. I just aspirate and waste supernatant and wash cells in a pellet a few times.. although even in this case oil remains covering the tube walls so I should change tubes after each washing to reduce oil. So for this culture this way works..
But everything is different in the case of culture of mature adipocytes. They are big rounded cells full of fat inside, so they don't sink after centrifugation, they are always floating above media and in the plate wells also.. and there is always some volume of oil around them because they are very fragile and might be disrupted by pipetting that results in additional oil release.

"You break my heart Vavrin". These words woke me from my afternoon siesta under the balmy shade of a coconut tree in Pallolem beach, Goa.
I opened my eyes hoping to see Vavrin get dumped by a beautiful European blond. Sadly, it was just a local salesgirl pestering him.
I guess it was the salesgirl's Russian accent, with a dash of American flavour that caused the delusion. Isn't it the same story at every beach of Goa? The locals, in their weird accented broken English and plenty of hand gesturing, annoying the tourists with their over-priced wares. There was nothing new here, except for Vavrin.
If you take a look at Vavrin, you'll see a young guy in boxers with an obscenely expansive tattoo on his muscled biceps. The type, who could easily browbeat a salesgirl away! What chances did the girl have, dressed in a conservative nylon saree, with her head covered, in front of the strapping jock? Aren't tattooed guys supposed to be bullies who know how to get things done their way?
Now, don't think I am one of those people who judge a tattoed person. Just that I had a bone to pick with Vavrin. Look at him right now, pretending that I don't exist, as if he didn't do me a wrong.
"But see…this lovely work…it is art… Vavrin, a real sandalwood elephant!" The salesgirl continued.
Curiosity got the better of me and I ordered a chilled Kings bear to enjoy my dekko at the elephant. Had Veerapan, the feared smuggler of yore, seen the 'sandlewood' elephant, he would be tearing off his moustaches in his grave. Granted, there was an iota of sandalwood in it, but the tusks were definitely not of ivory, instead they were made of some dirty bone. I can bet that yellow of the bone was more likely as a result of a dip in 'chai ka paani' than its claim of being an antique.
The creator had done injustice to the magnificent beast. Far from paying anything for the piece of junk, I would have charged something from the salesgirl just to keep it in my house.
"Since I like you Vavrin, as we are now friends, I will part with it for just 2000 rupees", she announced and I almost choked on my Barley water.
"I don't know 2000 sounds steep for this elephant," he said hesitantly for fear of hurting the feelings of the salesgirl.
"Okay, where are you from Vavian? What's your full name?"She asked sweetly, suddenly changing the topic.
"Vavrin Kolinsky, I 'am from Prague." He replied proudly.
"Aigo, what an impressive name, I 'am sure you come from family of kings. Don't you?"
"Well my mother used to claim that her third cousin's uncle's step mother was married to a...." he stammered unsure of himself, but the salesgirl cut him short.
"Aaaha, I could see it in your eyes that you are a Maharaja." She flattered. "Now tell me, will not an elephant from mysterious India look great and beautiful on your centre table in Prague?" She said pointing at the horizon with an enthusiasm that more expressive than her English.
"Amm, I guess… it would?"He replied, sounding confused now.
"So what are just two thousand rupees for Vavrin Kolinsky? Look at the big picture", she urged.
"Ok, I will take it." He finally sighed.
I couldn't believe my eyes, rather my ears. I know that I should have stormed the deal and save poor Kolinsky from the jaws of the evil salesgirl. If not for the 'Atithi Devo Bhav' crap, then at least for the great game we played together last evening.
I had met Vavian at a game of Pool I was playing at the Shack 'Papillion'. The most incredible thing had happened to me; I had, for the first time in my life actually hooked up with a European girl. Her name was Estelle, the most flawless beauty I had ever laid my eyes upon, with blond hair and silky voice; I could already envisage our children. I had been wooing her for the past three days, trying to impress her with my kayaking, followed by guitar, singing skills and so on. Finally, I won her attention by pretending to be a Yoga instructor. I even taught her a few basic Yoga Asans my grandfather had forcibly taught me in my school days.
Things were looking good between us and she had already hinted that we would be heading to my shack after this last game of Pool.
Enter Vavrin Kolinsky, a professional snooker player and a not so amateur Casanova. Very soon he had beaten me in the game of pool and talked charmed to his room.
So, I summarised that revenge, is indeed a dish best served cold, by a sweet talking femme fatale in nylon saree. So I sat back to enjoy the sight of him being conned.
Let Varian learn an important lesson today: It's very easy to steal a European girl, but not so easy to save oneself from our Indian chics.
"And how about this original, silver emerald bracelet, from the famous mines of Panaji not more than a hundred kilometres from here!" She said, producing another fake.
What audacity! The Panaji mines were closed 35 years ago, after 500 years of extensive mining.
"Amm, nice but I really have to go now, you see my flight is leaving in next two hours and it takes an hour to drive down to the airport with the slightly unruly traffic." He waved, starting to get up.
Slightly unruly! I repeated to myself, understatement of the century. The traffic here is worse than Timbuktu. Last night Varian had announced, "You guys don't need X-Box, surviving traffic here gives you enough adrenaline rush."
This didn't seem to deter the girl. She caught his waving hand, and began reading it carefully, "You have got good lines. You know your future is written on your hands. Your future Vavrin, depends on a girl. You have found her. There is a girl you love. Isn't there?"
At Vavrin's age if there isn't a girl, be sure there is a boy. But she had Vavrin's attention now.
"Look here Vavrin, just see how pleased your girlfriend would be when you give her this rare emerald bracelet. You think any girl can say no to that? She would fall for you like this." She said snapping her fingers.
"Repeat a lie a hundred times and it becomes truth", these words from Gobbles, the propaganda minister of Hitler rang in my ears.
"It will cost you a measly eight thousand rupees because we smuggle the emeralds from the mines otherwise it will cost you 80,000 in a jewellers shop." She ranted on, dangling the bracelet in front of his eyes the whole time.
"Wow,eight thousand.I 'am not sure..." he hesitated.
I was sure now. The picture is crystal clear. This devil has a blue eyed girl friend tucked away in Prague. My poor Estelle was just an exotic flavour who completed his visit to the 'Land of Kamasutra'.
Good, this girl's ripping him. You go girl!
"Money is not everything Vavrin. Think how foolish you will feel if you lose the affections of your lady love and luck for a pitiful sum of eight thousand. What will eight thousand mean to you then, huh Varian huh?" She said dramatically.
I don't know whether it was the irritating persistence of the girl, or her genuine sales talent that he finally nodded his approval and asked her to pack the stuff.
"You will not regret your decision Mr Vavrin Kolinsky. It is a real steal for just ten thousand, mind you."
"Okay, can I pay in my country's currency? It's equivalent to Euros." He assured her.
"Ok. Let's see at the present rate, which would be 149.76 Euros, so let's make it an even 150?" She reasoned innocently.
I felt as if I was watching a lamb getting slaughtered and god, it felt so good. I didn't let the fact that the frame of the bracelet looked like real silver, come in the way of my joy.
"Here 150 Korunas." He thanked her, picked up his 'steal' and boarded a taxi for the airport. "It's a steal Vavrin", she shouted behind him waving till he went out of sight. Then she pranced away, looking for her next prey.
I smiled and drifted back to my nap.
In the evening, I went to a cyber cafe to check my mails. It was a typical Goan cyber cafe cum phone booth cum travel agency cum currency exchange centre.
As I opened the door I heard a heated argument and saw the very same salesgirl exit in a daze. I walked up to the shopkeeper and enquired the cause of commotion.
"Some smart-allec taught her a lesson." He laughed. "Paid her in Korunas, you know currency of erstwhile Czechoslovakia. Since the country split in two in 1991, the Korunas are worthless, maybe after a hundred years some philatelist might be interested, but as of now, good as scrap."
And yes, while she was leaving the shop she was mumbling "it's a steal, it's a steal."

The photographer (Stéfan) of this Flickr photo set decided to add one photo a day, 365 days in a row, of Storm Trooper action figures in all kinds of unique situations. Some of funny, others are heartwarming, while others just seem like a couple of action figures, you know, hanging out.
While this idea at first glance seems a little dry and without merit except to the uber Star Wars fan, upon closer examination the action figures really do seem to come to life.
Posed inquisitively when faced with a situation similar to above; hugging each other on the beach as manly, rebel fighting comrades sometimes will do; looking scared when faced with a wookie action figure; all emotions are conveyed without even seeing their faces. You can just tell that they're thinking "How in the Force did I get into this mess?"
You can see the full photo set (and subscribe for updates) at Stéfan's feed over on Flickr.

Arsenal dismiss Cazorla exit claims
Arsenal have told the Daily Mirror that there is no truth in speculation that Santi Cazorla could be on his way to Atletico Madrid.
Onda Cero and Radio Marca have claimed that Atletico have agreed personal terms with Spain international Cazorla, who only joined the Gunners from Malaga last summer but would reportedly be open to a return to his homeland.
Atletico president Miguel Angel Gil Marin is said to be in London to negotiate a transfer fee with Arsenal.
However, Arsenal have indicated that they would have no interest in selling the 28-year-old and are seeking only to enhance their squad this summer.
Cazorla was one of the standout players for Arsene Wenger's men during his debut campaign at The Emirates, scoring 12 goals and collecting 16 assists.

With a football feel outside, the Port St. Joe Dolphins and Jaguars traveled to Blountstown to defend their titles as Big Bend Football League Champions. Both teams came home victorious.
Special to The Star
With two photos
With a football feel outside, the Port St. Joe Dolphins and Jaguars traveled to Blountstown to defend their titles as Big Bend Football League Champions. Both teams came home victorious. The Dolphins won their second title in a row with a 28-20 win. The Jaguars won their fourth consecutive championship 28-22.
In the first game, the Jaguars got off to a fast start. After running the opening kickoff back to their 44 it took three touches to score a touchdown and the 2-point conversion. Jasmine Thomas carried all three times. First he covered 34 yards and then finished off the drive with a 28-yard dash to the end zone, followed by the 2-point conversion.
Blountstown came right back by scooping up a Jaguar fumble at the Port St. Joe 35 and returning the fumble to the 15. Four plays later Blountstown scored, added the 2-point conversion for an 8-8 game.
The Jaguars faced third-and-long at the midfield on the ensuing possession. Thomas threw a long pass to Bryce Register at the Tiger 18. With 13 seconds left in the half, Thomas punched it in from the 1. The conversion failed.
Blountstown ran the ensuing kickoff back to the Jag 9. But a touchdown-saving tackle by Trey Sanders on the final play of the half kept Port St. Joe in front.
Blountstown, on the first play from scrimmage of the second half, went 60 yards for a score. The Tigers converted an extra point kick and it was 15-14, the first time this season the Jaguars trailed.
The next two touchdowns belonged to Port St. Joe. The first was from 12 yards by Thomas, the second from 1-foot by Register. Blountstown kept trying but the Jag defense was too tough. Blountstown scored one more time when a Tiger defender ripped the ball from the hands of a Jaguar runner and ran it in to make the final score 28-22.
The Dolphins game was tight to the end. The Tigers scored first but on the Dolphins next possession Josh Farmer went 60 yards to tie the score.
Back came Blountstown with a strong drive for another six points. The Dolphins retaliated with a drive of their own. George Foxworth had a 30-yard run to the Tiger 4 and Farmer took it the rest of the way to tie the score again as the half ended.
In the second half the Dolphins went up by eight when Foxworth made a TD on a 5-yard run and a Farmer 2-point conversion. Blountstown tied it again with 7:25 left.
With the momentum going their way, the Tigers were driving again. They made the mistake of throwing a pass close to Foxworth. With less than two minutes left in the game he intercepted and took the ball the length of the field for a touchdown and the Dolphin victory.

"Why am I so tired?"
That's a question I hear a lot. From friends, family, strangers. But mostly from myself.
It's a rhetorical question, of course, because I know why I'm tired.
It's called being a parent.
I remember a time when I never thought about sleep. When I could stay up until 1 or 2 in the morning, then get up at 6am and head to work with a focused mind and enough energy to get me through my day.
Then came children. And worries. Lots of them. And they only multiply over the years (the worries, but sometimes the kids too).
Now that my kids are teens, one of my biggest worries is whether they get enough sleep, as sleep deprivation is a huge danger to the developing brain of a teenager. Each morning I ask them if they slept well, and each night I remind them to go to bed early, turn off phones, and give their brains a chance to recharge.
I'm like the airline passenger who ignores the flight attendant's instructions to "put your oxygen mask on first before helping others."
I keep forgetting to worry about my own sleep. And yet, that question persists.
"Why am I so tired?"
You can imagine how happy I was when Beautyrest sent me their Sleeptracker monitor to help me collect data about my sleeping habits, so that I can make some positive changes to my daily routine in the hopes of improving my role as a parent.
It's really difficult to be good at anything when you're sleep deprived. Even though my teens don't need as much of my attention as when they were younger, one of them still relies on me for driving her to the myriad of activities she's involved with seemingly every single day of the week.
Driving while tired is a recipe for disaster, so I was quick to set up the Beautyrest Sleeptracker monitor on my bed. The installation was simple. You place the sensor between your mattress and box frame and it magically monitors your movements, breathing, and heart rate through the night. The product actually comes with two sensors, one for each side of the bed if you share it with a partner. The sensors connect to a small processor that can sit on the floor, and then each night's data is streamed to a smartphone app that you can download for free.
That's not magic. Just amazing science and technology to improve your life.
It's an extremely well-designed product, much better than the invasive wearable sleep monitors that I've seen in the past. The Beautyrest Sleeptracker monitor measures things like how long it takes to fall asleep, the various sleep cycles, body movement, and heart rate. It then makes suggestions on simple changes you can make to your routine to feel better rested.
The key, really, is to understand how you are sleeping, so rather than ask, "Why am I so tired?" you can instead ask, "What am I going to do about it?"
After only a week of using the Beautyrest Sleeptracker monitor, I was already feeling more refreshed because of the personalized coaching that the Sleeptracker app offers each day based around my sleep habits.
Something as simple as letting the product change your wakeup time by 15 minutes through the Smart Alarm feature can make a world of difference in how you feel for the rest of the day. I'm hopeful that continuing to monitor my sleep, and following through on making changes, will give me the energy and focus I need for on my parenting journey. #ISleepTo be a better dad.
Learn more about the Beautyrest Sleeptracker monitor on their website. Or follow them on Facebook. Don't wait to get it for yourself, so you can stop asking that question, "Why am I so tired?" Even with everything a parent needs to worry about, there's no reason you should be losing sleep.
I have partnered with Life of Dad and Beautyrest for this campaign, but my opinions are my own.

I thought I'd provide a quick update on the Turkey Trot this year, cause that's just what I do….race, and update. 🙂
If you read last years Thanksgiving post, it was the first year I've missed Charlotte's Turkey Trot since 2002 due to my parents ailing dog who had just had a stroke of sorts. Most importantly and actually pretty miraculously, Parker is STILL with us one full year later! He's at least 14/15 years old now but hanging on, "smiling", and going on walks, albeit very slow, but we are just so thankful to still have him though, even though we realize it won't be forever.
So needless to say, I was excited to be here in town this weekend to get out and do my favorite run! Dawn planned to run the 8k also and my parents were on board to walk the 5k. I was instructed to run this as a test set to get some good, threshold, stand-alone running paces/data. Test sets always provide a small amount of angst, even if the only person you're competing against is yourself. I also had a bit of uneasiness about how my heel, and some (short-lived) adductor pain I'd been feeling would hold up during the race.
We got there with plenty of time and I headed out to do my pre-race warm up. My adductor was causing me to limp and my heel felt like it had needles in it. I ran about a mile before turning around and was so annoyed to say the least. I had gone to masters swimming bright and early that morning thinking it would help loosed things up, but apparently no go. I continued to warm up slowly and on the way to the start line I contemplated for a good 10 seconds about not running and risking further injuring something. Then I thought about the apple cobbler I made and my mom's stuffing and decided to do the race. 🙂 I figured I could always walk if it hurt.
The gun went off and 6,000 Turkey Trotters were off. I was about 25 rows from the front, and in hindsight, just need to line up further to the front. People in front of me took off at a blistering, oh, 10 min pace, which is by far the most annoying thing to deal with. I don't understand why people prefer to be trampled?
There isn't much to say about this race other than I ran smooth and hard and really didn't feel either my heel or my adductor much at all! The tugging in my adductor forced me to keep my form tight and not over-stride, which I have a tendency to do. I could feel it every time I did so it served as a "nice" reminder to keep my cadence high and hips in good alignment. For the most part, it was all good!
Given the undulation of the course, my mile splits were a little up and down, but it seemed most people's varied at least a little. They ranged from 6:37 – 7:00 which I was happy to hit these paces given no rest on my legs the day before and having swam masters before the race. My chip time was 34:14 (6:53 pace), but the website has me listed at 31 something for some reason. I can't take credit for running quite that fast. 🙂 Not yet at least
This week is recovery for me and I'm kinda excited. Short speed stuff and a few days of rest! Wooo hooo!!

rbmike needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 45 designs submitted by 19 freelance designers.
We like to run and bike, but could enjoy it more. So we're making an app to make working out more fun. Not ready to get into the best features yet, but the app plays music, tracks speed, distance, maps the workout, etc. It even keeps people safe when they work out.
Check out http://roadbud.com for more info.
This is a new product for a pretty recent market (people who want to use their iPhone while they run).
The product is made for athletes (runners, bikers, walkers, skiers, etc). However, the primary market is runners. Others will figure out they can use it too.
It should appeal to women as well as men
I suspect the target market trends older. 30-50 years old. (iPhones are expensive)
1) clean, crisp, simple design - the product will be partly sold on having a clean UI. Think Nike, Apple, Shell.
2) should work ok with colors of website
3) would be nice if image plays on: a) "rosebud" b) "iPhone earbuds" c) running friend "road bud"; if it doesn't have any of these elements, it can still win - clean, crisp is primary objective
4) logo should include text ("roadbud", tagline to side), but look great alone. Tagline is expected to change (maybe "Run happy"?)
5) These are hints, but I'm no graphic designer. Go play and create whatever you think is great! I'll give lots of feedback.
a) photoshop files with multiple layers
b) versions that looks good on dark or light background
Find out how a design contest works or learn more about our logo design services.

Today we are also having a look at the PNY 8600 GTS. Unlike the other three cards we are testing here today the PNY Verto 8600 GTS is not overclocked. PNY uses the standard NVIDIA reference clocks for their 8600 GTS.
This makes the PNY card a bit cheaper than the other 8600 GTS cards on the market but it does give up performance to the other cards in the class. If you are on a tight budget and you want an 8600 GTS, the PNY card goes for about the same price as the overclocked 8600 GT cards.Review excerpt: The 8600 GTS shares many of the same features in common with its bigger brothers in the NVIDIA family, the 8800 GTS and 8800 GTX. Where the 8600 GTS moves away from the 8800 series is in the fact that NVIDIA used a new next generation PureVideo engine. This new PureVideo engine was designed to reduce CPU utilization during playback of H.264 movies. This hardware acceleration allows low end CPUs to play back next gen movie content from Blu-ray and HD DVD. Read the full PNY Verto 8600 GTS review here.

Poker domino
A poker players' decision about where he/she will probably play online poker is perhaps the most important decision affecting the players' enjoyment in the game and his/her bankroll. In most cases, a gamer has four possible venues from which to choose, they are:
domino poker
1) Poker online sites
2) Casinos/Local Poker Rooms
3) Home games with family & friends
4) Local Charity/Fund-raising tournaments
All these four venues has their own 'pros and cons' that need considering. One venue could be ideal for Player 'A', however, not necessarily a good choice for Player 'B'. The right venue is relative to your personality, bankroll, and talent level.
Lets' have a look at each one of the four venues more closely, and discuss the options of every. I am speaking in broad generalities that happen to be consistent wherever your geographical area, nevertheless, you should realize geography plays a huge role in venue selection. Gambling laws vary from one locale to an alternative, so please check out laws in your town and play within those laws. With that caveat set up, lets' examine on-line poker first.
Poker online
Undoubtedly, online pokers' popularity is growing lately; so much so, the Federal government has placed limits on the ability people players to advance money back and forth from the poker sites. These restraints pose a true problem for poker players, as well as some player associations want to fight these restrictions. The way forward for poker online laws is uncertain right now. The full discussion in the legalities of online poker is at night scope as soon as i've, but I encourage all poker players to accomplish their research before you decide to jump into online play.
Pros of internet Poker:
- The beauty of playing poker on the web is a chance to play straight from your own home if you wish. Sites such as Poker Stars, Full-Tilt, Ultimate Bet, etc. will literally have thousands of eager players online Round the clock, Seven days a week. Whenever you are able to play, you will possess no issue finding an available game.
- Online play allows the player to learn a multitude of games. If you would like to adopt an escape from Texas Hold'em and enjoy the urge to try out Omaha, Stud, Razz, Horse, or virtually any other game you can think of, the web sites will accommodate you.
- Another benefit to playing online is that one could play any stakes you are confident with. Should you be conservative, or just starting out, it is possible to play as few as a couple of pennies help. If you are searching on an adrenaline rush, it is possible to play at as almost as much as several lots of money. The websites offer all kinds stakes in between these extremes too.
- Finally, for the reason that web sites maintain your games moving quickly, you'll be able to increase your game by playing a high amount of hands inside a relatively short time period. More skillful players may play multiple games as well. These players are seeing an exceptional quantity of hands per hour.
Cons of Online Poker:
- Internet poker can rapidly become addictive. Online poker addiction will surely have severe negative consequences for the players' physical, emotional, professional, and financial well-being. An addicted player will usually start staying up all night long playing while ignoring his requirement for sleep. This might lead to emotional problems and eventually cause a force on the players' home and professional life. A gamer has to be vigilant to recollect poker is not as crucial as family, friends, maybe career far from poker.
- The net player might also be a victim of cheating while playing online. The the poker room attempt to catch cheaters by using sophisticated software that monitors play and looks for irregularities, and they may be partially successful in these efforts; however, it cannot be denied some cheating continues on without be caught. The challenge for that individual poker player is he is able to never be certain he isn't being cheated. The poker world would have been a buzz this past year when the media reported the scandal involving Ultimate Bet and Absolute Poker. Some cheating occurs between your players themselves when two or more players gang through to a player by using telephone communication while the hands are now being played out. If the opponent has additional information concerning the hole cards than you need to do, you might be at a significant disadvantage.
- Because poker is played quickly online, the less skillful player will likely lose more of his bankroll online than if he played elsewhere. If a losing player plays more, he can naturally lose more fat on the future.
Casino Poker
Because of this discussion, I am going to consider full service casinos (that you simply are likely to encounter in Sin city or Atlantic City) and native Poker Rooms (commonly bought at Kennel Clubs, Horse Racetracks, or another Pari-Mutual facilities) to be one out of exactly the same. The scale and degree of sophistication could possibly be greater at a complete casino, but Poker Rooms attended far in recent times which enable it to offer similar services to a poker player. Each facility supplies the tables, chips, dealers, and pit bosses to manage play, and each provides a comfortable atmosphere to the players to enjoy. In exchange for providing these types of, the 'house' will rake the pots or charge you a per hour fee to play (read more about this later).
Pros of Casino Poker:
- Casinos/Poker Rooms typically do a sufficient job at providing the player an appropriate environment to play. As more and more card rooms emerge, they realize they should compete for your business; therefore, you are likely to be treated well because the casino would like you to become a regular player inside their facility.
- A gamer could be relatively confident the games will likely be operated by professionals. The whole staff through the dealers to drink servers know their jobs (in addition to their tips) rely on offering the players with excellent service.
- Casinos and card rooms are generally conveniently located in a community, plus they are open 12 or more hours every day a week every week. On short notice, a player can set off towards the casino and look forward to finding a lot of action. Texas holdem poker rules at casinos, but other games are available when enough players are available to fill a table.
Cons of Casino Poker
- Playing at a casino can be an expensive experience. An e-casino has considerable expenses, and has to recoup these expenses via a 'rake'. Some card rooms charge an hourly fee to play, say $10-12 hourly per seat. Others will need a part of each pot, or a area of the complete tournament entry fees. A house rake of 10-20% is just not unusual and has to be overcome to become long-term winner. A player should also be careful so good etiquette dictates you should tip the dealers and servers for that service they offer. These tips will prove to add on the tariff of playing at a casino.
- Another pitfall to playing at the poker room is perhaps you can function as the victim of an couple of 'regulars' who synergy to soak the newest fish that sits down at their table. Players can communicate their holdings through subtle hand signals which puts the unsuspecting player at a disadvantage.
Home Poker Games
Nightly in America there are thousands of home poker games underway between families and friends. Poker requires very few supplies for hosting a casino game, which products are readily available through many sites. You could start playing with the dining room table and finally progress up into a true poker table complete with drink holders, padded rails, plus a felt playing surface. The following point you will need is an excellent case of french fries, a 500 count pair of 11.5 gram (or older) chips will be adequate for approximately 9 players. The ultimate and most important item you need for the home poker game is really a setup (two decks) of 100% plastic handmade cards. Expect to invest between $15-25 per setup for quality cards.
Pros of Home Poker Games
- Usually the one huge advantage home poker has over venues of play is that you can choose the members you enjoy. Typically, a gaggle of A few dedicated players will plan to take up a home game and they will invite their family and friends to try out. This feature process nearly assures a group of players which will get along well with each other. Probability of a loud or obnoxious player being invited on the game are minimal. The greater harmonious the overall game is, the greater you may enjoy playing there.
- A property game fosters social media that might bring about new professional relationships as well. You can create a helpful connection with an attorney, accountant, contractor, etc. through poker.
- Home games are excellent opportunities for husbands and wives, fathers and sons, etc. to share with you some quality time while playing poker.
- Most of the time, little (or no) 'rake' is obtained from a home game meaning the bucks stays where it belongs, with the players!
Cons of Home Poker Games
- Tend not to fool yourself, organizing and hosting a property game is usually a great deal of work. Should you be the host, you must be happy to call people, supply a location to park and play, provide you with the snacks and drinks, and also the cleanup afterwords.
- Any trouble with home game poker is the fact that in certain localities, it can be prohibited to wager money while playing. You need to research and abide by the laws in your neighborhood.
- In the even worst scenario, an announcement make bust out inside the card game which ultimately results in a dissolved friendship or hurt feelings. Every one of the players have to be respectful of one another and responsive to each others needs.
Charity/Fund Raising Poker
- Over these turbulent economic times, some well-known charitable organizations have considered hosting poker tournaments to generate necessary funds. Some private schools are even hosting poker games to supplement their scholarship funds. A texas hold em player may give time for his community by supporting these events.
Pros of Charity/Fund Raising Poker
- Charity tournaments may be great social events which compile great number of poker layers to guide the reason. Somehow, it can be more palatable to spend an 'entry fee' than to create a donation check!
- The ability of the players that report approximately these events is poor. Playing good poker is secondary from the minds of numerous players to presenting fun while supporting a great cause. This mentality presents a chance for the skillful player to "clean up' on the cost of the social players. Based on the height and width of the tournaments, the payouts could be significant. You may well be in a position to parlay a $60 entry fee right into a $1,000 pay day for winning.
Cons of Charity/Fund raising Poker
- The largest challenge with these poker games is the not enough professional management through the event organizers. A critical player can readily become irritated whenever a tournament starts a half hour late, or he gets seated at a table having an inexperienced dealer, etc. Violations with the rules and etiquette of the game are commonplace at fund raisers.
- The 'rake' could be very high at these events. Remember, the reason the charity organization hosting the game to begin with could be the want to raise money. A rake of 25-40% is not unusual at these games that is unacceptably high with a player trying to boost his bankroll.
- A thing of caution concerning the legality of those games, the charities often believe they are immune from compliance with local laws regarding gambling, though the sheriff does not always agree! Shop around before opting to play in fund raisers so that you can make a knowledgeable decision.
Permit me to restate my original premise that deciding where you can play poker is perhaps the most critical decision a player must make and will possess the greatest effect on the players' bankroll. There is absolutely no right or wrong solution to this query, you must decide which venue is best for your situation. For me, the gamer that plays hardly ever and just wants to have a great time should probably check out an internet casino and enjoy the atmosphere fix. However, in order to create your bankroll, I recommend finding a few good home games with little or no rake. These games will provide you with the top possibilities to make money in the end.

Late 1880's corset in black damask flock
Added Feb 2, 2012
by LadyArian
Berkshire, Unite...
My version of the late 1880's corset from Norah Waugh's "Corsets and crinolines" :), lined in black satin for ease of wear (satin is slippery, so you're less likely to get friction burns!) and fully boned with spring steel, spiral steel bones and a 12" steel busk. No, I do not go to the airport wearing it.
A word to the wise – don't bone the boob area. It pushes them into the stratosphere.
This was the 3rd corset I'd done, and for practicality's sake, I cut it higher on the hips, but lower on the back and tum for ease of sitting and going to the loo ;p.
Come to think of it, looking at that pic of the back, it really could be cinched tighter…
Material Notes
Black flocked damask
Heavy black satin
White venise lace
5m white corded lacing

Think of it as a piece of engineering, rather than an ordinary bit of sewing. You make a bodice (I line mine with buckram, but use coutil if you can afford to!). There are various thoughts on technique here: single-layer bodice from coutil, fashion single-layer from any old cloth, leather & drill single-layer, fabric + buckram/coutil/drill double-layer… you get the drift :). My 1880's and 1700's are both lined with buckram because I wanted specific cloth on the front. Then, you make the bodice 4" smaller than your actual measurements, sew it all up, then sew it together like a bag. If you're making tabs, always allow 2" for them. Really. Then you sew the boning channels – making sure you never sew over the opening of ones you need open! So now you have a quilted bodice shape with an open top which you pop the bones into – keep plasters ready, since all the cutting and shaping can hurt quite a lot. The moment when I push the bones into their channels is quite exciting for me ;). Then you sew shut the top and punch eyelets into the back for the lacing :). I always add a placket, but I'm pernickety. Try a practice one on some drill – it'll help you figure out any mistakes :).

How did you pattern this?

Norah's book has the basic pattern blocks. I just redrew on paper for my own measurements. It was interesting how different my blocks looked to hers! Still they worked, so it's all good :).

Overheard at THON 2013
This weekend in the BJC was a seemingly infinite sea of bright colors, ridiculous outfits, games, Greek letters, fatheads, Line Dances, singing, laughter, tears, inspiration, sore feet, and more memories than you could ever count– but we're still trying! Check out some of the most inspirational (and accurate) things that we overheard at THON 2013 before you're drawn into those overwhelming feelings of post-THON-depression.
"I'll sleep when I'm dead, you know? This is for a good cause, and we're doing it for the right reasons, so sign me up." –Tracey Edouard, Entertainment Committee
"I'm pretty much here all weekend. It doesn't compare to what the kids are dealing with. We've had some cancer issues with our family, so that's all I need is to see the kids' smiles, and I'll remember that. It doesn't matter, I'll be up as long as I need to." –Al Karosas, Associate General Manager
"You're everything that's right about Penn State. We appreciate you for your sacrifice, your time, and for how proud you make us." –Coach Patrick Chambers, to the dancers at Pre-THON
"Cancer, we are NEVER EVER EVER getting back together!" –Dylan Moser, Four Diamonds Child
"I'm looking forward to Family Hour. It's a reminder of why we're here and what this goes to. It's always beautiful and humbling." –Ali Fogarty, ARHS and Onward State
"[We're most excited] to see the new total, and knowing we made a big impact on that total, all of the campuses together." –William, a Schuylkill THON representative
"I think it's really cool, how they capture a whole year in one 3-minute dance. It's just really exciting and it gets everybody moving. It's great for the dancers so they can stretch and stuff. I think it's really cool." –Ben, a sophomore from ΛΧΑ
"This weekend is off to an incredible start and it's still sinking in that I'm DANCING IN THON." –Joel Kreider, dancer
"NGU. NEVER GIVE UP! It's our motto that we all live by. You're canning and you're exhausted? NGU. You have five exams this week? NGU. You're about to stand for 46 hours? NGU. You can see it on our shirts and most likely overhear us saying it when you walk around campus." –Paul Suhey, Apollo FTK
"I am loving this year's Line Dance! I really like the chorus because I actually know it, but my favorite part overall is when we go 'Woo! Woo!'" –Sabrina Kristobak, Ski Team
"Any kids, come on out and bounce around with us, please! This is your stage, come on and take it. You do whatever you want." –Go Go Gadjet
"Why does everyone THON? We've all had cancer affect us at some point." –Irish Society
"Because of your dedication, we got to see Emily smile and dance again this weekend." –Kari Whitehead, Four Diamonds Parent
"I went to THON last year and I was just astounded by what I saw and wanted to do something to step it up next year. Last year we wore Storm Trooper outfits and we wanted to step to step it up. My buddy said somebody should wear Tron suits and that would be the coolest thing ever. I wanted to show the kids that we really do care." –Daniel Sheffler, sophomore from Penn State New Kensington
"My initial feeling was obviously excitement. It's truly amazing what everyone does here. The pictures I've seen look exactly like it does right now, but they weren't as exciting or crazy. Seeing the little kids dancing was more than I expected." –Marissa Restaino, OPPerations Committee
"You're so much closer to everything, the dancers, the kids, than any of the videos show. It's all so close to us." –Allie Galoozis, Kappa Alpha Theta
"Its amazing. It's amazing and it's overwhelming. Everyone, the students interact so well with the kids. There's so much we don't even know what to look forward to. You can't really even explain what THON is." –Susan Sidler, a Four Diamonds parent
"There's so much energy here. When you're canning and everything, every org is individual, it's almost a competition. But then you come in here, and everything molds into one. I never expected that all of these people could come together like this." –Julian Lui, Alpha Kappa Psi
"This was only our first time on the floor at THON, and we had seen so many things not many other people have had the priviledge to see. It was amazing to see all the little intricacies that made up the backbone of THON — the small things you might not notice unless you just stop and take a look around. Organized chaos is really the only way to describe it. Each volunteer knew exactly what they were doing and exactly what was going on around them. While we, as outsiders, felt completely overwhelmed, the committee members took the mayhem in stride. I think I can speak for both of us when I say just how glad we are that we decided to head down to the floor early this morning. Although there's much more that remains unseen, I'd like to think we now understand THON a little better than when we came to the BJC this morning." –Catie Simpson, Onward State
"We were so anxious while waiting in line. You see pictures and videos, but this is truly a feeling that cannot be explained until you've experienced it." –Anja Dietrich, Alpha Kappa Psi
"THON is everything. It's our number one. [Greek Life] started THON and are very devoted." –Alpha Chi Omega
"I gotta say that THON is incredible! From the walk over, through the human tunnel, to being on the floor, it's been such an incredible experience. The food's great, my moraler's great, and everyone here is…well, great!" –Jerry Agosta, PSMA
"If you're not sleeping, you're here." –Luke Olsen, Delta Chi
"It's all volunteer. We have the obligation to stay as much as possible. The fact is, the dancers are working really hard for us. So we are going to work hard for them!" –Leah Sheppard, Kappa Kappa Gamma
"It's hard to describe in words…it's fun, exciting, tiring, but it's all for the right reasons so I find it easy to mentally get through it." -Brian Sanvido, Boulevard
"Even we have lost some of our THON children, you'll notice on our shirts we have like 'for Jazz' and for whoever; we keep all our THON children in mind and with us no matter what. We're still close with the families who have lost children and we're still really active with them and because of our hard work we are constantly growing as an organization." –Greg Despotidis, Acacia
"That's part of what makes THON beautiful. Lack of sleep is the great social equalizer, and boy, are we tired right about now." –Olivia Kerrigan, Onward State
"I love looking up in the stands and seeing all of my friends from my org and family cheering me on every step of the way. I especially have loved developing a close relationship with our THON family and spending time with hem on the floor has been incredible." –Melissa Wenzel, NSSLHA
"Involve yourself in the environment. If you're just standing and purely standing, you're not going to survive. But if you are outgoing and participate then [THON] will be like a blink of an eye." –Natalie Fisher, Morale Committee
"I know there are times it's hard to remember why standing and staring at a door (if you're on R&R) for hours at a time helps benefit the kids, or why whether or not you stand up or sit down in the stands will make a difference. The more tired you are, the harder it is to remember just why that is. But stop thinking that. Right now. While your feet are killing you and you can barely keep your eyes open, remember why you've done what you've done all year and never underestimate your effect." –Bailey Siegel, Onward State
We don't have time to be on committees or dance, so this is our way of giving back." –Zack Zwinack, Penn State running back
"To say we are honored that we were honored that the overall committee wanted to create this award in our daughter's name would be putting it lightly. Knowing Courtney's name will be forever linked to THON truly warms our hearts. Compassion for others and for a cause is what I believe this award is all about. Putting a piece of yourself into THON for the kids, for the families, feeling their pain, and giving them a hug." –Lisa Brigandi, mother of Courtney O'Bryan
"Something I've realized is how much more effort and work is required for captains and committee members than dancers. Maybe my attitude will change over time, but I have seen many Rules & Regulations captains or OPP committee members looking far more stressed and exerted than myself. I just get to play with kids, dance, eat, repeat." –Joel Kreider, dancer
"I think I finally have a true appreciation of what THON truly is. It's all about the personal sacrifice you're making, but knowing that it's beyond worth the pain and stress you're putting yourself under. I've had some good and bad patches up until now, and I know things will only get harder from here, but I know there's no turning back now. I'm a dancer in THON, and I'm going all the way till the end." –Jerry Agosta, PSMA
"This is the best event in the whole world." –Total Whiteout frontman Eric Henkels
"[Donating massages at THON] started at a company I worked for. Now we're doing it. It's the right thing to do." –Aaron Pavlechko, owner of Integrative Bodywork School of Massage
"Everyone's different and we're just a bunch of strange people and somehow it just works." –Kim Odenthal, Atlas
"While most people have four years to experience these changes, I've had two decades… Many things have changed over the years, but one thing that hasn't changed is the inspiration these families provide for us each and every THON weekend. They always thank us, but we should be thanking them for letting us be a part of their journey." –Anna Ungar, the Penn State student who never missed a THON in her life
"I got it to remind me of the kids, and how they make each and every one of us live up to the Four Diamonds: Courage, Honesty, Wisdom, and Strength." –Adam Krempasky, the IST dancer with the Four Diamonds tattoo
"Look around. This is what the world needs to see. Not the other crap. What the media needs to report about these kids, it gives me chills." -Jodie, mother of Sigma Pi's dancer Ryan
"I wanted to do this and I will stay as long as I need to stay." –Dakota, freshman, HOSpitality Committee
"You have to remember that everything you're doing is connected to a bigger chain. You are supporting your dancer, who is dancing in support of the children who are fighting cancer everyday." –Kenny Bui, Morale Committee
"Everyone is tired, once you go to complain you really need to take a moment to think about what your dancer is going through for the cause." –Matt Rodgers, Morale Committee
"If these kids can make it through cancer treatment, whats a few more hours standing on my feet. If 709 others can do it, I am right there with them." –Rebecca Shaw, dancer
"My feet ache, but it's a dull pain muted by the tremendous energy in the BJC!" –Joel Kreider, dancer
"Our Teddy never made it to THON, but we're so inspired that people he never met… would work so hard… for kids like him. You dance for a little boy who never spoke a word, who never took a step, but whose life has inspired thousands to beat cancer." –Gina Morton, Four Diamonds Parent
"THON is not just trying to find a cure for cancer. THON is doing the impossible. I've learned so many things about myself, including how emotionally unstable I am after 40+ hours awake. I think I can finally understand just what it means to say "We dance for those who can't." When I was asked to write down why I THON, I came up with a semi-inspired thought from a dream – "THON is that one chance in your life to be a superhero, even if it's just for 46 hours." Now, after being on that journey for myself…well I can say it speaks the truth." –Jerry Agosta, PSMA
"I wanted to let everyone here know that you are doing something amazing." –Kait Weston
"One of the reasons I've made it this far is because of people like you. Thank you, Penn State!" –Bryce Carter, Four Diamonds child
"We'll dance in celebration one day when we finally kick cancer's ass!" –Tammy Golden, Four Diamonds Parent
"To me, that is what Penn State is all about. Courage, honesty, wisdom, and strength. If there is one thing I learned in the last year, that is what we as a student body and a university are all about. People thank me all the time, but I thank them because to me this is the greatest university in the country, in the world, because of days like today." –Coach Bill O'Brien
"This weekend is the greatest event that happens on any college campus anywhere in the world. And without that, all of you Penn State students, alumni, you know you'll hear what we've had to deal with from people at other schools. But I can tell you, don't you ever, EVER back down from the name Penn State. Don't you ever back down! …Penn State is the students, it's the pride, it's what you do for others. That's what makes us unique! That's what separates us from every other school in America…Now I have no inside information, but I just know Penn Staters. You put a challenge in front of us, we don't knock at the the door. We KICK. IT. IN! …All of you that are involved in THON will leave college knowing that you have inspired tomorrow's miracles and you have saved lives. How many people can leave college, look in the mirror and say, 'I've saved a life?' … Nothing can erase the history you will make here this weekend. Nothing with erase the history that's in your hearts and in our hearts. The smiles you will have this weekend, the tears, the laughter, and yes, the pain nothing will ever erase that …Your summit is at hand. Dance for those who have been saved, dance for those who will be saved, and also remember those who were not saved. Their lives, their stories, compel you to dance to the summit of Everest. And when you've made it, you will know what you've done. You will know what you've accomplished. And you can yell with a voice that will echo across the generations. We did it FOR THE KIDS!" –Jay Paterno
"THON is Penn State, and it will always be Penn State." –Charles Millard, founder of the Four Diamonds Fund

i'm going to come sick to all my meetings now*
first off, i dragged myself in a day early to get prepared for this meeting. why? because the person we are meeting with is INSANE and the higher-ups don't want this meeting to drag on and on.
translation: i spent two hours trapped in a room with people.
my main task, to put it as dully as possible, was to take the person's list of images that they wanted to use and put xeroxes (or the real image when i had it) into a binder. this can be a bit of a problem when her list will read something like "view of bay" and you have three slides that may all be view of some bay.
anyways, during this two-hour meeting the person pulls out a NEW (MOTHERFUCKING) list of images she wants to use. i then spend the rest of yesterday and today cross-checking both lists only to find that she has dropped TWENTY-NINE of her images from the old list and has added THIRTY-FIVE new images (keep in mind that we are in the process of ordering off her old list and some of the now dropped images are actually here).
what the hell?!?!
sadly, i'm not allowed to beat her senseless.
the higher-ups let her get away with it.
well, until i sent them a list and pointed out what a effed up person she is to do this shit to us.
i don't think i hid my discontentment from her very well...or from bossman either.
Labels: why do they need me in a meeting

Information about the effectiveness of the Tinnitus Miracle five-step system is available on Tinnitusmiracle.com, a website containing reviews about how this innovation has changed lives. As of 2015, there is no readily available scientific research on the efficacy of Tinnitus Miracle, making it hard to determine its viability.
The Tinnitus Miracle system contains a book by the same name, written by Thomas Coleman, that contains information on how to cure tinnitus, a condition that is characterized by ringing in the ears. The book provides the reader with details about the foods and supplements that banish and reduce tinnitus. This 250-page treatment system works on tonal, pulsatile and pathway tinnitus, claims Tinnitusmiracle.com. Tinnitus Miracle advocates for a change in lifestyle and focuses on the anti-tinnitus foods, supplements and the secret homeopathic herbs. Thomas Coleman, a former sufferer, also demystifies the myths about tinnitus and compares his innovation with the conventional subjective treatments and medicaments.
Tinnitus Miracle claims to provide patients with a natural way of healing, unlike conventional medicines, which are invasive and can easily vex you out. Coleman's merchandise reportedly has no side effects, is cost-effective, the results are achieved in 30-60 days, and it cures tinnitus permanently, says Tinnitusmiracle.com. On the flip-side, making lifestyle changes is challenging for most tinnitus sufferers. Moreover, the herbs recommended by Coleman may be hard to find, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has not approved this medication. Coleman's arguments aside, it is important to note that, as of January 2015, there was no proven cure for tinnitus, according to the New York Times.

It's October! Finally. And as proof, I give you a spooky night:
I took this with my little point and shoot Canon Powershot from my truck. I had the window down on account of fogging, and realized with no traffic, it was the perfect time to capture a shot.
I'll post more photos from the night later, but none turned out as awesome as this one.

If you tell us that we try to encourage every one to set fire to things, I'll laugh at you and push you from the internet (because you probably believe that is possible).

Just a tip
If it happened to be Valentine's day, and you happened to be feeling romantic and decided to call your husband on his cell phone and proposition him. . . dial carefully.
'Cause if you happened to be off by one number, and happened to say what you had to say to some strange man before you realized it, it could be quite embarassing.
Theoretically, of course.

I have been there and done this. There is also the chance that your husband, being funny, hands the phone to someone else when you are calling. This would happen to be the time you decide to say something for his ears only.....oh my....that is horrible. Worse when it is someone you have to see on a very regular basis.
I hope you eventually got the right number..... :)
Theoretically of course.

Fortunately, it was a complete stranger so I don't have to face him. He did use his caller id to call back, however.
Theoretically :)

Please tell me you didn't ask him if he wanted to "play doctor" :)

I think we'll just leave the details of that conversation a mystery :)

It's also a good idea to make sure if you DO dial correctly that he doesn't have you on speakerphone with a room full of people. LOL

Oh, my! That would be very bad!

Ok people....I am not going to fess up to the details on the web but let me just say that my husband doesn't do that to me any more...lesson learned for him and for me. haha
Hey...at least it was intended for my husband and I have a license to talk that way to him :)
julie...you are sooo bad! (and I love it)
Anita....shhhh :)

Carrefour among the winners of the "2017 Open Innovation Awards"
Carrefour Poland's C4 Retail Lab incubator, which started up in 2017, has got through to the finals of the Open Innovation Awards in the "Initiative" category.
The C4 Retail Lab was set up last year as part of Carrefour Poland's omnichannel strategy. Its purpose is to look for and implement innovations for the whole mass merchandising sector, as well as supporting the development of entrepreneurship in Poland and fostering young talent. The incubator already has 12 start-ups and five projects are in the test phase.One of the first companies to join the C4 Retail Lab was Smart Cart – a Polish company which has developed a system that involves traditional shopping trolleys and self-service checkouts. The award given by the Heart Warsaw is the first that Carrefour's incubator has received.
The 2017 Heart Open Innovation Awards is a competition for companies which innovate in collaboration with start-ups. Their aim is to showcase companies which use sources of external innovation, setting up partnerships and implementing the best solutions. The competition was organised by The Heart Warsaw, the European centre for cooperation between major groups and start-ups.
