The world is a pit of despair, Ultron is in charge, and there's no hope for survival…except for a rag-tag bunch of heroes with a plan. Spider-Man, Luke Cage, Emma Frost, Wolverine, Invisible Woman, Taskmaster, Beast, She-Hulk, and Moon Knight are the last ditch effort for the Marvel Universe to continue existing, but something tell's me they may have a chance. This dystopian future tale is THE EVENT for the Marvel Universe this year, with three issues coming out a month for the next three months. And don't worry about crossovers with other series, because they've been kept to a minimum and left as non-essential; read'em if you want, don't if not. With the mad puppeteer of Marvel, Brian Michael Bendis (All-New X-Men, Uncanny X-Men, Scarlet), having worked on establishing the implications of this tale over the last four years, Age of Ultron is going to leave its mark. And for a series that epic in scope you need an artist that can match the tone. Luckily, Bryan Hitch (The Ultimates, America's Got Powers) was able to lend his deft talent at cinematic realism to the book! Don't get left behind like so many did with Avengers vs. X-Men, pick up issue one of Age of Ultron, or one of its many variants, this Wednesday!
Cullen Bunn has managed to blend sci-fi, horror, and western genres in the long lived Sixth Gun series with ease. Now Bunn is applying the same strategy to a tale of viking carnage! Helheim begins with a brutal siege on a tiny, seaside village by forces of evil. But standing between them and the meaty townsfolk is Rikard and his horde of viking warriors. Though you might think you know where this story goes from there, you'd be surprised. This is only the beginning. Bunn just rocked Marvel NOW! with his first issue of Fearless Defenders (you know we've been talking it up at the store!), an issue which also featured some viking fisticuffs, and aims to do the same to Oni Press with the start of this new ongoing series. When you blend gothic horror, witchcraft, and zombies, you get Helheim!
Searching for images of Joe Casey's Sex #1 resulted in some awkward moments at the store. Yeah….
One of this month's Image Comics releases, advertises itself as "a good reason to come into the comic store – to buy SEX!" Though it may be crass, it's true. Joe Casey has written everyone from Wolverine to Batman to The Avengers to Spider-Man, but he's never written anything as chock full of debauchery. A former superhero is forced to give up his vigilante lifestyle only to take to the streets for some much needed R&R. However in a town like Saturn City, R&R can get rather S&M. Follow Simon Cooke on his dark, dirty journey through the recesses of a town gone wrong in a post-modern superhero tale unlike any other in comics today.
And finally tonight, another twist on a classic tale.
No Place Like Home was one of my favorite miniseries from Image Comics last year thanks to its intelligent, inventive reworking of the classic L. Frank Baum fable, The Wizard of Oz. Dee is a rocker from the city, but a rural kid at heart who must return home to Kansas after the grisly murder of her parents during a tornado. After getting home and rekindling friendships with old acquaintances, Dee stumbles into a decades old mystery that ties together her parents, the two sheriff, a local drunk, and…a flying monkey? Comic newcomers Angelo Tirotto and Richard Jordan dropkick Judy Garland and replace her with a twisted slasher film sprinkle with famous imagery and characters from the classic tale. Oh, Tirotto claims this is only the beginning of an epic arc that'll take Dee all the way over the rainbow.

Two US Marine officers getting out of the Marines and starting a wine import and distribution company specializing in importing wines from South America.
We are still very much attached to our Marine roots and want our logo to reflect. We know exactly what we want. Just looking for artist to conceptualize. We want an Eagle Globe and Anchor (US Marines symbol) that replaces the anchor with a bottle of wine.
Check out our facebook group Roldos Medio y Medio (US). We plan to specialize bringing this traditional spritzer/sparkling wine from Uruguay, tannat from Uruguay (tannat is the famous grape from the country) and organic wines from Argintina and Chile.

"Always faithful and stay on the attack"
Primarily wine drinkers ages 21-45, young professionals. Currently in South Florida but plan to go nation wide at some point.
Looking for an Eagle Globe and Anchor (see attachment) on the left side of the company name. I created this logo myself and I think it works pretty well. I like having the "Semper Fi" in red (check USMC colors which I believe is a scarlet red) and "Imports and Distribution LLC." in black. I think it looks sharp. I am open to other ideas though if someone has a better design concept. I am a Marine not an artist haha. I have the artistic ability of a brick haha. But I think I have decent taste.
There is one large problem with the amature logo I created. The problem with using the EGA is that it's trademarked by the Marine Corps. Unless we obtain an act of congress, we can't use that image commercially. We want to replace the anchor that sits diagonally behind the globe with a wine bottle. Understand that part of the wine bottle will be covered up by the globe. That's ok. I think a dark red wine would look good in a half fun bottle. Maybe have the wine "flowing" in the design. See winelibrarytv.com or vottovines.com.
Hope this helps. Please don't hesitate to shoot me a message for more guidance/info/feedback.

As I set out driving Friday night to hear Ina May Gaskin – called "the mother of authentic midwifery" by Midwifery Today – speak, I was filled with nervous excitement. When I was about 10 minutes out from the church in Lafayette where the event was taking place, a friend of mine called me to say she was saving some seats for me and other friends of ours and she was able to get pretty close to the front. I felt like a teenager going to a rock concert. Third row seats! We got third row seats to see Ina May! 🙂
As I pulled into the parking lot, I saw moms with their children in baby slings or carriers, groups of women without children, as well as some couples all making their way towards the entrance. I pulled in a spot, got Julian from the backseat and into the Ergo carrier when I overheard a woman a few cars down from me say, "I'm so glad I remembered to bring my book for her to sign." D'oh! I never even thought to bring my copy of "Ina May's Guide to Childbirth." Some groupie I am, eh?
With only five minutes to spare before the talk was supposed to begin, Julian and I hightailed it into the building, quickly saying hello as we passed a couple of women I know from our AP group on the way. I couldn't wait to get inside.
We made our way to the front of the registration line and we were greeted by my midwife K with a big hug. I wanted to stay and chat with her, but there wasn't time and she had a lot more participants to check in, so we agreed to try to meet up after Ina May's talk to chat. My excitement and anticipation grew.
Once inside the church, I spotted my friends waving me down in, yes, the third(!) row, right in front of the podium. I may have skipped a little as I made my way towards them and settled down in my seat with Julian.
We chatted for a good 10 to 15 minutes before Karen Robinson, the president of the Colorado Midwives Association (CMA), came out to welcome everyone to the event, speak a bit about the CMA, and then, the moment we were all waiting for, introduce Ina May Gaskin.
The applause began immediately and Ina May walked in to a standing ovation.
She began her talk with a bit of history both about herself and about the history of birth and obstetrics in the United States. While I have read and heard before about how women used to be treated in hospitals (drugged to the point of being unconscious while their babies were extracted from their bodies using forceps, etc.), it gives me the heebie-jeebies every time. She told us how her first birth was in a hospital, where, despite her belief that she could've given birth naturally and without pain medication, she was drugged and her baby was taken out using forceps.
She spoke about the path that lead her to become a midwife, as she began attending births while traveling across the country (on hippie buses) with hundreds of others who were following Stephen Gaskin on a five-month-long speaking tour across the United States. 11 babies were born on the buses during the Caravan. She has attended more than 1200 births to date.
She talked about Sphincter Law which is described in detail in her book "Ina May's Guide to Childbirth."
"The Sphincter Law recognizes the cervix as a sphincter along with the other excretory sphincters. These sphincters function best, Gaskin points out, in an atmosphere of privacy and familiarity." —Midwifery: the Revival an Old Profession
So it is difficult for a woman to give birth in a hospital with nurses and doctors shouting "PUSH!" or making threats of "you'd better get that baby out soon or you'll have a c-section" etc. Just as it would not be easy for any of us to shit (yes, she said shit! and ass too for that matter) on command. If you are sitting on the toilet, trying to take a crap and someone walks in on you – what happens? You stop crapping until you feel safe and no longer vulnerable. Same thing can also happen with birthing a baby.
She also talked about the mind/body connection, though I don't know if she used that term. She described how she has witnessed a woman get stuck at 7 cm (or whatever) for hours on end with no apparent physical reason, only to later discover that this women's mother died in childbirth, so this woman was afraid she would die too. Once the "secret" was out, however, the woman was able to dilate to completion and have her baby. She ran into something similar in another situation as well. But (and this is my own rambling here) had something like that happened in a hospital, how many doctors would stop to wonder what could be causing this woman's labor to stall or would they threaten the woman that if she didn't dilate by such and such time, she would need a c-section? Yes, I believe things need to change in the obstetrical world.
She talked a little bit about Ricki Lake's new movie, "The Business of Being Born," as she is interviewed in it. She mentioned that it received a standing ovation at the Tribeca Film Festival and that Ricki had recently been interviewed about it on "The View." Someone asked how can we see the film and she recommended we start calling our local movie theaters to ask them when they will be getting it. Let them know there's a demand for it.
At the end of her talk, she took questions from the audience. Questions were asked about VBACs (vaginal birth after cesarean), breastfeeding, circumcision, vaccinations and breech births. I don't recall all that was said since we were going on two hours of Julian being a happy camper in my lap and he was starting to get squirmy.
I know she said that she believes breastfeeding should continue as long as it's mutually satisfying to both the child AND the mother. If mom isn't enjoying the breastfeeding relationship anymore, she doesn't believe in continuing to nurse out of guilt. She is currently in the process of writing a book about breastfeeding.
She doesn't believe in routine circumcision, but has seen many circumcised boys in her years as a midwife, and even acted as a mohel for a while.
I didn't get to hear a lot of what she said about vaccinations, since it was about that time that I decided Julian and I needed to move from our third(!) row seat and stand in the back, where I could sway with him and keep him contented. I recall her saying that she felt some vaccinations were OK, but she believes in starting them later than the recommended age. And that there were others (like chicken pox) that she wouldn't recommend.
After I had Julian tucked back into the Ergo and we were swaying at the back of the room, someone asked a question about her thoughts on breech births (i.e. should they be automatic c-sections?). This, as some of you who have read Julian's birth story* know, is a topic very dear and close to my heart. If you have a breech baby in a hospital with an OB, you are pretty much guaranteed a c-section. Of course midwives still perform vaginal breech births and believe that a woman should be able to choose to have a vaginal birth. Ina May helps educate midwives in her conferences (and through her videos) on the knowledge and skills required to successfully assist women having breech babies. In fact, one of the sessions from the following day's midwifery conference was focusing on breech and twin births. "Vaginal birth of breech and twins has become a rarity for more and more OBs. Therefore the skills needed to assist in these types of vaginal births have begun to disappear and women are losing their right to choose a vaginal birth with twins or a breech."
After that question was answered, Ina May wrapped up her talk and gracefully exited the room as everyone applauded with much gratitude.
Many people milled about for a while chatting with each other, meeting with Ina May or Debby Takikawa (the director of the movie "What Babies Want" narrated by Noah Wyle who was presenting at the midwifery conference held that day – by the way, it's a great movie and you should definitely see it if you ever get the chance), etc. after the talk concluded. Yours truly was among them. I chatted with some friends for a while before realizing that Ina May was still around and signing autographs. I wished that I had my book with me, but since I didn't, I asked her to sign a brochure from my midwife's practice. She did.
"For Amy
Ina May Gaskin"
I talked to her briefly and told her a little bit about Julian's birth, as he slept away in the Ergo. It was pretty darn cool to talk to her face to face. I knew she had had a busy day and another one ahead of her the next day (and still more autographs to sign), so I didn't want to keep her for long. I thanked her and headed back over to my friends. We reminisced about how we used to get all excited about going to concerts or getting autographs from celebrities, etc., and there we were elated to hear a midwife talk and get her autograph. 😉 Times have certainly changed.
I must add that I also wished I had taken my camera with me, when I later saw Ina May pose for pictures with a few women. I guess I now know what to bring along with me to my next midwifery
rock concert event. 😉
It was a wonderful evening and a great privilege to meet Ina May, a woman who has done so much to further the midwifery cause and offer women a choice, a very safe choice, when it comes to birth.
I'm sure I forgot something from the evening and if anyone who was there wants to chime in in the comments with anything I overlooked, please do so. It really would've been nice to take notes, but there's no way I could've kept the pen and paper out of Julian's mouth. 😉
Salon.com has a great article about Ina May called, The Midwife of Modern Midwifery from a series called "Brilliant Careers" in the June 1, 1999 edition for those of you who'd like to learn more about this amazing woman.
*If you haven't read Julian's birth story and would like to, please e-mail me. It's not currently on my blog.

Staff writer
After playing a solemn version of 'Taps' and observing a moment of silence, Larry Cushenbery spoke to a small group of patrons and emergency professionals about the importance of remembrance in front of the Marion County Jail on Sept. 11.
"Earlier today some people told me they had forgotten it was 9/11 until they heard the music," Cushebery said. "That's why we do this; so people don't forget."
He said some of the elementary age kids he played for earlier in the morning had not been born when the Twin Towers were struck.
After his speech, people thanked him and some inquired about his antique bugle.
Cushenbery seemed to take great pride in his instrument. It was a polished — free of fingerprints or other blemishes — one could see their reflection in.
He can play an assortment of different horns, but he chose his antique bugle because of its somber and sincere sound.
He said it sound similar to the trombone he played last year only different.
When he bought in on eBay, it was in bad shape. It was missing parts and had several dents so he took it to Senseney Music in Wichita for repairs.
When dropped it off he found out several of the employees were also part of the Bugles Across America organization that he is also a part of.
He said they were happy to work on it so he left it with them. They completely restored it to the pristine condition it was in for the 9/11 remembrance ceremony.

Hello everyone! I am a newbie to quilting and I just finished my first quilt top. I had so much fun and was even looking forward to the adventure of machine quilting it myself. Unfortunately I will not be able to finish the quilting because I just got accepted into a Nursing Program and will simply not have the time to work on it.
I was hoping to get some advice on what I need to do about sending the quilt out for someone else to finish the quilting. Has anyone ever done this and if so what do I need to do? Is it expensive? Does anyone know of a good company?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks!

David W. Gomer is not a man who likes to brag about his accomplishments.
That is probably why he made the perfect recipient of the 2013 Tabor Award, which was given to him Wednesday during the Cape Coral Community Foundation's 40th annual celebration at the Westin Cape Coral at Marina Village.
It is also why the many in attendance, including past recipients of the award, said such an honor was long overdue.
The Tabor Award is given annually to the city's outstanding philanthropist, but it's more than that, according to Beth Sanger, executive director of the CCCF.
"It's truly about people with the undying love for this community, who give their, time, talent and treasures," Sander said. "David has stayed true to this organization."
He also was among the founding fathers of the CCCF, an organization that has put $2.5 million back into the community in grants, scholarships and community projects, with an endowment of more than $8.5 million with 40 named contributors.
"Getting it started when we were young and in a community that had a lot of growth, it had potential," Gomer said. "It took a long time to get there, but we've done a great job over the years. It's providing a lot of input into the community."
Elmer Tabor, the man for whom the award is named, said Gomer is the embodiment for what the award is about and that he served as a mentor to him and that the award could have easily been named the Gomer Award.
"There are a lot of people behind the scenes who are trying to make positive things happen and not looking for the accolades," Elmer Tabor said. "The previous award winners don't talk about that, they want to see positive things happen. They stay behind the scenes, but they're the movers and shakers."
Listening to Gomer, you would think he wasn't worthy at all judging by the humility.
"I don't like to brag about what I've done. I've enjoyed every minute of it," Gomer said, who moved to Cape Coral from Minnesota in 1966 and is the only living member of the founding board. "It's a great honor. I just like to do things for the community. I'm happy to be honored and continue to do my part."
Among the highlights, besides the CCCF, include being president and CEO of Cape Coral Bank and Trust from 1966 to 1981, a director, president and CEO of Community National Bank from 1985 to 1991 and Cape Coral National Bank from 1994 to 2002.
It was in that capacity that Gomer, along with fellow Tabor recipient Paul Sanborn, helped put the city on the map by providing the money needed to help grow the city.
Gomer is also the managing partner of various real estate companies, and was recently re-elected to serve as a trustee of LCEC.
Yet, one more piece of evidence of his work is his son, Brian, who will become the chairman of the CCCF board of directors next year.
Watching his father win the award was a source of pride, since he learned everything about philanthropy from him.
"It's great to be here and share the experience with him. It's hard to believe what it was 40 years ago and see what it's become today," Brian said. "He taught by example. He did a lot in the community and involved the family in that. If he did it, we did it. It becomes an experience of what you're supposed to do."

Canadian Health Charities urge Federal Political Parties to Recognize and Support Family Caregivers
04 April 2011
Ottawa -
Health charities and coalitions from across Canada have come together to pay tribute to family caregivers – the often invisible workforce that can be called to duty on a moment's notice. "On behalf of all who are, have been, or will be, involved in caregiving responsibilities, we ask our political leaders to use their influence to give voice and recognition to this important social issue," says Deirdre Freiheit, Executive Director, Health Charities Coalition of Canada.
"Governments have a vital role to play in raising awareness about the importance of caregiving and in establishing measures to better support this crucial group of people who contribute so much to our society," says Sharon Baxter, Executive Director, Canadian Hospice Palliative Care Association (CHPCA). "Family caregivers face very real challenges in accessing services, balancing responsibilities, supporting loved ones and maintaining their own wellbeing."
According to a February 2011 survey conducted by the Canadian Cancer Society, 84 percent of Canadians say increased financial support for family caregivers should be a priority healthcare issue in the federal election. "Many caregivers suffer financial difficulties as they deplete personal savings and take unpaid time off from work to care for a family member," says Dan Demers, Director, Public Issues, Canadian Cancer Society. "Canadians are greatly concerned about this issue and are looking to our federal political parties for solutions."
"Financial support for those who must take time off work is a critical component of effective policy for family caregivers," says Nadine Henningsen, Canadian Caregiver Coalition (CCC) President. "It is an important element of a Family Caregiver Strategy that the CCC believes is essential to engage all levels of government and sectors of society to support family caregivers." The intensity and length of caregiving can be significant, with 60% of caregivers providing care for more than three years.
The CCC's Caregiving Strategy includes:
The health charities and coalitions commit to working with all parties to shed light on the important work of family caregivers and to taking action to ensure that their contribution is noticed.
The Canadian Cancer Society is a national community-based organization of volunteers whose mission is the eradication of cancer and the enhancement of the quality of life of people living with cancer.

Having recently upgraded OfficeFloor (http://sourceforge.net/projects/officefloor) to use Allura the Mylyn Web Template Connector configuration needs changing. While there is a discussion item for an Allura Mylyn Connector, the work around is to use the Web Template Connector.
The new configuration for Allura is:
- Task URL: ${serverUrl}/p/${project}/${tickets}/
- New Task URL: ${serverUrl}/p/${project}/${tickets}/new
- Query Request URL: ${serverUrl}/p/${project}/${tickets}
- Query Pattern: ({Id}\d+)	\s*({Description}[^<]*)	\s*<td[^<]+	\s*<td[^<]+	\s*({Owner}[^<]*)
- Login still works similar to the old Using SourceForge With Mylyn
The Query Pattern works for the standard SourceForge Allura columns: #, Summary, Milestone, Status, Owner
Should the columns be customized, the Query Pattern is constructed by concatenating the following together in the order of the columns:
- ID: \s*({Id}\d+)
- Description: \s*({Description}[^<]*)
- Owner: \s*({Owner}[^<]*)
- skipping columns to keep pattern match: \s*<td[^<]+
Admittedly while this does not provide the full Mylyn Connector functionality, it at least allows listing the tasks within Mylyn and associating commits against them (which is most important to me). Managing the tickets will however have to be done through a browser.
In summary steps are:
- Install the Mylyn Web Template Connector (not part of standard install but is in the Mylyn incubator update site)
- Add a Task Repository with the above configurations (though change the project parameter to your project). See screen shot below for an example.
- Within the Task List add a new Query for each ticket repository (changing the tickets parameter to the particular ticket repository – e.g. support-requests)

When Randy Edsall was coaching Connecticut, he had the opportunity to schedule two games with Maryland. The school wasn't far from where he grew up in Glen Rock. Pa., and he believed playing the Terps could help the Huskies recruit in the talent-rich Baltimore-Washington, D.C., region.
Edsall had no idea that, years later, he would be leading Maryland rather than Connecticut when the games were played.
On Saturday, the Terps and Huskies will play the second and final game of the series. It's a matchup that carries plenty of emotional weight for Edsall — he coached Connecticut for 12 seasons — but is also significant for his successor, Paul Pasqualoni.
Pasqualoni's record is 10-15 since taking over for Edsall before the 2011 season, and Connecticut's 33-18 loss to Towson — a Football Championship Subdivision school — in the season opener did not help his standing with Huskies fans.
Towson junior running back Terrance West had 156 yards and two touchdowns in the game. It was Towson's first win in eight games against a Football Bowl Subdivision opponent.
Connecticut hosts No. 11 Michigan in its third game on Sept. 21. With a loss to the Terps on Saturday, the Huskies could be facing an 0-3 start, which would generate more media speculation — it has already started — about Pasqualoni's job security.
After playing Towson on Aug. 29, Connecticut has had to wait 16 days for its next game — an opportunity to turn the page on the season-opening loss.
"It's the old adage that the good Lord put your eyes in the front of your head and not in the back, so you can see where you're going and not where you've been," Pasqualoni said this week. "We've approached it that way. We spent a lot of time last week making those corrections, especially in the support and contain of those runs that got out on us."
Maryland's situation is entirely different than Connecticut's — a chance to start 3-0 for the first time since 2001, when the Terps began the season with seven straight wins and won the ACC championship.
The opportunity will come in a stadium, Rentschler Field, with which Edsall could hardly be more familiar. Edsall helped make the case for building the stadium, which was constructed on an old airfield. The facility is celebrating its 10th anniversary this season.
Connecticut was the first school to hire Edsall as a head coach in 1998, when he was 40 years old.
"I was just always grateful that [then-Connecticut athletic director] Lew Perkins and [president] Phil Austin took a chance on a guy who was only a coordinator for one year and had never been a head coach," Edsall said.
Years ago, Edsall thought scheduling Maryland made sense for a number of reasons.
"I wanted to do it for recruiting purposes, and then just also in terms of our nonconference scheduling," Edsall said. "I always tried to look at making my suggestions to the athletic director about where I thought we could schedule games that would help us from a recruiting standpoint, but would also make sense in terms of it possibly being a TV game if it's on the road, too. When I was there at Connecticut, we had quite a few kids from the Maryland-D.C. area. And so it gave us a chance to get those kids back and play a game at home."
Last season, Edsall tried to treat the game against Connecticut, a 24-21 loss for the Terps, as just another game. Like most football coaches, he loathes game-week distractions.
"This week is no different than any other week to me," he said before the 2012 game. "This is Game 3 on our schedule."
But after the game was over, his voice was thick with emotion and his eyes appeared to tear up.
"You go through good times and bad times, and football is an emotional game," said Tim Willman (Reservoir), a starting defensive end for Connecticut who played under Edsall for two seasons and is now a fifth-year senior for Pasqualoni.
Edsall "definitely has an emotional side," Willman said. "He's very passionate about the game."

Hello all.
I get random twitches in my calves, my thighs (above my knee) behind my triceps, my biceps, and sometimes both sides of my upper jaw (by ear) and lately my left Palm (the thumb meat)...
I eat two bananas a day, I stay super hydrated.
I am very physically active (weight lifting, martial arts 3-5 days a week)
So I'm actually not sure if I had twitches before and never noticed them or I have just started twitching.
I can feel and see 90% of them. They last for about 2-3 seconds maybe (rarely longer but it has happened for a minute or so)
This has been going on for the last few weeks (I'm currently seeking therapy for high anxiety about my health) and these twitches I noticed after the ice bucket challenge.
No apparent weakness. But I'm just staring at my hands and feet looking for differences (super annoying habit that I can't seem to stop)
Are random intermittent twitches normal in bfs?
Days I workout I twitch -- the next day I twitch way more.
I went to my doctor who said without any clinical weakness she wouldn't give me a referral to a neuro.
Any advice / help you can provide will be great.

Ok, we're actually 4-6 all-time v. the Cowboys. But what about the 21st century? 3 and fucking
Like any right-thinking NFL fan, I fucking hate Dallas. I hate Jerry Jones. I hate Tony Romo. I hate their dipshit Craphonso fan base. I hate the hole in their stadium's roof. I LOATHE Terrell Owens. I even hate Tom Landry's moldering hat. From every pore, they ooze smarmy arrogance and posess a sense of entitlement that comes off them in waves like B.O.
When Tony Romo dropped the ball? Well, that only could have happened to the great Romo because those sneaky Seahawks slipped him a lubed-up ball. That loss at Husky Stadium in 2001? Well, the boys didn't realize the game wouldn't be played in a dome, and they weren't ready for such wet, nasty, UNFAIR weather. That last minute loss in 2005? That was Bledsoe's fault. The great Romo would have pulled that one out.
...and Cowboys fans can go on like that. An underrated chapter in the Seahawks-Cowboys series happened in 2002. The Hawks were 1-5, and might as well have had "opponent" emblazoned on their unis because Emmitt "Blowed Up" Smith was going for the all-time rushing record.
Yeah, his dancing ass got the record; and Trent Dilfer left with a torn achilles tendon, forcing deposed starter Matt Hasselbeck back into action. In my mind, this has always been the genesis of Seattle's current success. After D-Jack was felled by a vicious, dirty hit Hass reportedly growled in the huddle afterwards:
Beck led the Hawks to the winning FG, somewhat spoiling Emmitt's party and unofficially rebooting his Seattle career. Bite shit, Dallas.
Don't forget: We play at Dallas in the '08 regular season. :-]
*I forgot our 2004 Monday Night Football collapse against Dallas. Ugh. Hat tip to MS from Seahawk Addicts for reminding me. Fucking bullshit non-review on Keyshawn's ill-gotten touchdown.

Santa Barbara Children's Chorus Expanding Programs and Opening Up to Younger Singers
Posted by Moarts51 on:
For Immediate Release
Press Contact: Maureen McFadden
NEWS RELEASE/Santa Barbara Children's Chorus
Santa Barbara Children's Chorus Expanding Programs
and Opening Up to Younger Singers
(August 23, 2012) Expanding the Santa Barbara Children's Chorus (SBCC) base of programs this year has a few firsts for the 19 year-old organization which all starts on September 10 with weekly classes and will run through June, 2013. SBCC firsts include a brand new program for children six and seven years old called Vocal Explorations, the launching of the Carpinteria Children's Chorus, and an option to pay dues all at once or monthly.
With the popularity of the vocal competition shows on network TV like The Voice®, American Idol®, and the series Glee® not to mention director Danny Boyle's epic Opening Ceremony show for the Summer Olympics where more than a dozen children's choirs were integrated into the show, the vocal program at SBCC is a great place to get your youngster started. Countless professional and amateur singers have started their own career path in choruses and choirs. The disciplines children learn in the vocal arts also serve them in other aspects throughout their lives. Last season SBCC collaborated with Opera Santa Barbara, a local opera company and a number of local a cappella groups, giving the Concert Chorus members valuable and memorable experiences.
Executive Director, Paul Freeman states, "This year, we want to increase the size and scope of the chorus activities so we're bringing the program to the kids and opening up our offerings to younger children. Getting kids started earlier is integral to growing the Children's Chorus. We're also aware of how busy parents are so having classes closer to home – whether in Santa Barbara or Carpinteria –will hopefully increase our accessibility and our membership."
Returning for her second season, Choral Director Erin Bonski Evans will direct both the Santa Barbara program held at the Unitarian Society of Santa Barbara at 1535 Santa Barbara Street (93101) and the new Carpinteria classes, which will be held at Curtis Studio of Dance, 4915 9th St., Carpinteria (93013).
Freeman, who grew up in Santa Barbara, is the driving force behind SBCC and is focused on providing the opportunities he had here growing up to the current generation of Santa Barbara kids. This year he has envisioned having an All Schools Chorus that would be anchored by participating schools using the SBCC educational program combined with a fun "Glee Club" format.
Last year, community support for SBCC came from Santa Barbara Foundation's Pillsbury Grant, Santa Barbara Bank & Trust, The Dreier Family Rent Subsidy Fund, Gelson's Market, Santa Barbara Community Arts Commission and Mrs. Lillian Lovelace.
Theresa F. Brown, Youth Activities and Adaptive Programs Supervisor at the City of Santa Barbara Parks & Recreation Department had high praise for the Santa Barbara Children's Chorus program which designed "a new and innovative 'special' curriculum for the After School Opportunities for Kids, better known as A-OK!"¹ Brown said, "(This program) incorporated social skills, emphasized singing and performing and taught basic songs and rhythmic patterns. (Their) team led a three hour SING! workshop that included overcoming barriers which keep students from fully participating, six hours of active instruction through five different interactive CD's, specific curricula details in a well-organized teacher training and instruction workbook, and additional help through their Yahoo User Group to assist staff."
For information on how to sign your child up for the SBCC, contact Rebecca Wrighton by email: email@example.com or call (805) 512-9840.
¹ A-OK has been providing a coordinated after school program for 12 years to provide safe and effective research-based homework assistance and curricula to students during their unsupervised after school time. Children are selected into the A-OK program based on low-test/reading scores, are English language learners and/or are in a situation where their family cannot provide a safe environment at home. A-OK serves six Title 1 Santa Barbara Schools for children below the poverty level. Students selected into A-OK are mandated to attend each day school is in session from after school to 6:00 pm.
Santa Barbara Children's Chorus is a county-wide, non-denominational music education and performing organization for children ages 6-14. We provide children of the community with the opportunity for musical training and performing in a fun and challenging environment. Founded in 1993, SBCC will be here for years to come to serve your children. With the continuing decline in funding for school-based music programs, especially in the elementary and secondary school levels, SBCC is dedicated to filling a vital gap in bringing the benefits of music and vocal performance to children.

ABOUT the Santa Barbara Children's Chorus Programs:
The Concert Chorus is the primary training and performing program for Children's Chorus students. This program is open to all students, ages 8-14 years and is available in Santa Barbara and Carpinteria locations. Students entering this program are divided into levels based on experience, time in the chorus and other factors. Each level provides an increasing progression of music education and performance experience. Skills assessments are performed annually to track student progress in theory, vocal ability, ear training and sight singing. Classes run two hours long, one day per week.
Vocal Explorations offers chorus lessons for young singers interested in exploring singing individually and with a group. This class is designed to provide a fun and educational environment for boys and girls who might want to continue on to singing in the Concert Chorus once they reach third grade. The educational focus is on learning proper singing technique, breath control and basic ear training while still having fun singing songs they will be familiar with. This class is 45 minutes long, once per week.
Concert Chorus Plus+ is vocal training designed to offer intermediate music theory, vocal and ear training as well as choral technique. Students who attend this program will receive one additional hour a week of group and individual vocal instruction with an emphasis on advanced techniques and singing skills. This class includes participation in the Concert Chorus and is three hours in duration, once per week.

Port Knocking -
A HOWTO article about port knocking appears on the Linux Journal web page and port knocking appears in Linuxsecurity.com.
Broadly, port knocking (PK on wikipedia) is a form of host-to-host communication in which information flows across closed ports. There are various variants of the port knocking method - information may be encoded into a port sequence or a packet-payload. In general, data are transmitted to closed ports and received by a monitoring daemon which intercepts the information without sending a receipt to the sender.
Recently a physical knock detecting device that does to the door what port knock does to your server has been reported. This knock detector is mounted on the inside of a door and listens to ... you guessed it, secret knocks. Once a knock is detected, the device unlocks the door.
In one instance, port knocking refers to a method of communication between two computers (arbitrarily named here client and server) in which information is encoded, and possibly encrypted, into a sequence of port numbers. This sequence is termed the knock. Initially, the server presents no open ports to the public and is monitoring all connection attempts. The client initiates connection attempts to the server by sending SYN packets to the ports specified in the knock. This process of knocking is what gives port knocking its name. The server offers no response to the client during the knocking phase, as it "silently" processes the port sequence. When the server decodes a valid knock it triggers a server-side process.
The definition of a valid knock is arbitrary, and up to the implementer. The server-side process is also arbitrary, and up to the implementer. The trigger may result in dynamic modification of firewall rules or other administrative system events. Encoding and encrypting information into a series of ports and sending information using SYN packets is one of the simplest forms of port knocking. A variety of implementations extend this scheme.
Port knocking is a method of establishing a connection to a networked computer that has no open ports . Before a connection is established, ports are opened using a port knock sequence, which is a series of connection attempts to closed ports. A remote host generates and sends an authentic knock sequence in order to manipulate the server's firewall rules to open one or more specific ports. These manipulations are mediated by a port knock daemon, running on the server, which monitors the firewall log file for connection attempts which can be translated into authentic knock sequences. Once the desired ports are opened, the remote host can establish a connection and begin a session. Another knock sequence may used to trigger the closing of the port.
Port knocking is a suitable form of hardening hosts that house users who require continual access to services and data from any location and that are not running public services, such as SMTP or HTTP . Port knocking is used to keep all ports closed to public traffic while flexibly opening and closing ports to traffic from users who have authenticated themselves with a knock sequence. This on-demand IP-based filtering which is triggered by a remote user can offers the advantages of IP-based filtering without the limitation usually associated with maintaining IP rules. Port knocking cannot be used to protect public services - such protection cannot be effective if the knock sequence, or a method to generate it, is made public.
Port knocking can be used whenever there is a need to transfer information across closed ports. The port knock daemon can be implemented to repond in any suitable way to an authentic port knock. The knock may be used to communicate the knock information silently and/or to trigger an action. This is a form of IP over closed ports.
The simplest implementation of port knocking uses a log file to interface with the firewall software. This simple approach makes port knocking highly accessible for home users who would like to harden their *NIX systems. One of the strong advantages of port knocking is that the protected services do not require any modification. Port knocking is easy to set up and presents no performance issues when dealing with a modest number of incoming connections.
Port knocking as desribed here is one implementation of a more general idea. It is not necessary for the firewall log file to be involved in the process. A robust implementation interfaces with the server's IP stack more closely. Nor is it strictly necessary for the knocks to come as a series of connection attempts. For example, the knock may be encapsulated in the data payload of a single packet that is sent to a closed port.
There will be situations in which port knocking is ideally suitable, such as remote administration provided by a latent, on-demand SSH service. In other cases port knocking is not the right answer.
Efforts by Others
I'm not the first one with the idea of using closed ports to enhance security. I list other prior-art projects, such as cd00r and SAdoor, and current implementations of port knocking (Implementations).
6 Jun 2013 — I just came across this blog posting on ChipLog by someone who had the port knocking idea before me.
When citing port knocking, please use
I try to maintain a list of port knocking articles and presentations.

[Hook: Detail, Lil Wayne, and Chance the Rapper]
You can look me in my face
I ain't got no worries (I ain't word) x3
See them shroomies keep me up
So I ain't got no worries (I ain't word) x3
You see money right there
Yeah that's (me) right there
Yeah that's (me) right there
And we ain't got no worries
You see pussy right there
Redbone mangos right there
See them shroomies right there
We ain't got no worries
[Verse 1]
D. Rose on that ass, that means back again
I hit my Zan so hard
Man, I've been practicing
I'm going straight to the league, and not by accident
Don't get your ass kicked in
I'll hoop in Shaqs and Timbs
Chit chat with Chris Mintz-Plasse
And laugh at Jags and rims
T-T-Y-L-ing the labels and L-O-L-ing they friends
Hello Hell and Heaven, you haven't heard the half of it
Have at it half-happy
30-something year old, broke graduate
Over the wave like du-rags,getting paper like dude rap
Nineteen, making that "I could be damn near fucking Erykah Badu" rap
Girbaud flow is too strapped
My screws loose, I'm too slapped
Just got this bitch too turnt
Just got my nose 2Pac'd
L.A Reid like, "Who's that?
Jimmy Iovine like, "Who's that?
Whole world like, "Who's that?
Whole hood like 'dude ass'
I'm from little shorties with the shot up shirt
Where babies get kilt like a Scottish skirt
95-ing down the Ryan
And I'm flying, skirrt
Keep on asking if I'm trying niggam I ain't word
[Verse 2]
Unreluctant optimist, most poppingest
Got popular,try topping this, Triceratops
BJs from baby bopping bitches
Throat lozenges
Massaging it, no touching it
Okay, touch on it
But don't rush on it
Ration it, passionate
While imagining me smashing it
Dash out at like 4:30,hands smelling like potpourri
They ain't give my nigga no jury, so I don't give no nigga no mercy
When my little fucking brother rap better than you
My shit get your girl way wetter than you
You rap veterans you, my nerdy brethren you
Stuff you in a fucking locker, 10 Day letterman you
You wanna jock me, jockers (AAH)
My style's fathering you
I know it's bothering you
Probably an anomaly
But it's probably niggas that's probably starving for new shit you could sound like
That's that shit that I don't like
But I ain't really worried
I'm a wordy motherfucker
I could hurry
But I'm buried in her pussy from the last tape

For 30 years, giving care, receiving love
Staff writer
Sue Gutsch of rural Lincolnville recently retired after spending the past 30 years caring for those in need of long-term care. After seven years at Marion Manor, she spent the past 23 years at St. Luke Living Center as a nurse aid and assistant activities director.
Gutsch worked at other part-time jobs, such as postmaster relief at Lincolnville and waitressing, before becoming a nurse aid. She was amazed to discover the satisfaction that caring for others brought to her life.
"The people at the facility gave me much more than I gave them," she said.
She learned to know many people and became a part of their life. She also learned to know their families, and her family learned to know them.
"Everyone has their own story and brings something special," she said.
When she talked to her children and grandchildren, she called the seniors "my residents." During one such conversation, her granddaughter said, "Grandma, that's where your friends live."
Gutsch viewed her role as helping to make sure people continued to enjoy life rather than just coming there to die.
"It was a good feeling to go home at night and know that I could help someone do that," she said.
Community involvement essential
One thing that gives St. Luke Living Center a high rating nationally is that it has a lot of community support and involvement, Gutsch said. Various groups and individuals volunteer their time to visit the center, provide entertainment and encouragement, and interact with the residents. Some even bring animals for them to enjoy.
"Children and pets are always a hit," Gutsch said.
She and her husband, John, raised three daughters and a son. Members of Gutsch's family often came to the center and took part in activities.
One Christmas morning, she brought her 12-year-old granddaughter to the center. The girl showed the residents her new iPod and all the tunes that were stored on it. Gutsch said her granddaughter, now 20, still remembers that experience.
One Fourth of July, her daughter and children visited the center and set off fireworks for the residents. Another time, she and two of her daughters and three grandchildren celebrated Christmas Eve with residents.
Gutsch said when she first started working as a nurse aid, it was difficult to see someone die, but she came to realize that death is part of a person's earthly cycle. Sometimes, family members requested that she stay at the bedside of a dying loved one while they left for a brief time.
"I considered it a privilege," she said.
She enjoyed watching young girls start as nurse aids and often return later as licensed practical nurses or registered nurses.
Gutsch retired on Feb. 28.
She never was required to learn to use a computer and had no desire to do so. Now, things are changing. Maintenance requests and various reports will be relayed by computer. She knew it was time to quit.
"Everything comes to an end," she said. "I am 74 years old. My time had come."
Lunch with old friends
Gutsch joined Living Center employees Robin Kukuk and Evey Williams at the Pizza Hut Thursday for lunch, along with a group of residents.
Although no longer a Living Center employee, she waited on the group, helping them find their places at the table and getting whatever they needed.
"We miss Sue," resident Irene Werner said.
"It's strange not seeing Sue every day," Williams said. She and Gutsch were fellow workers for 24 years.
"Evey taught me everything I know," Gutsch said.
One resident shared a troubling family situation with Gutsch, who listened with a sympathetic ear.
"Sometimes we have to dwell on what we can be thankful for," Gutsch advised the woman.
Several residents gave her hugs before departing.
Gutsch praised the St. Luke Hospital Auxiliary for their support of the Living Center. Whenever a resident or the center has a special need for something, they are there to fill that need. Sometimes the auxiliary opens its downtown shop for residents to browse through.
"They take care of the center in wondrous ways," she said.
She noted that employees try hard to give the best care possible.
"St. Luke's motto should be, 'If you care enough, come live at the very best,'" she said.
She encouraged other homemakers to get out and become involved in the community.
"You should never be afraid to step out and do something," she said. "It might end up being the light of your life."

Ron Paul and America's youth
Throughout the Republican presidential primaries, Ron Paul has done well with young Americans, drawing thousands to his Youth for Ron Paul rallies. However, some of his young fans are still a few years shy of heading to the polls.
Ron Paul won't be featured in any of the warm-and-fuzzy videos being prepared for the Republican National Convention, but he does play a key role in a soon-to-be released documentary on the causes of America's financial meltdown.
The Bubble, a documentary coming out in fall of 2012, looks at the current recession, how it happened, and how we can try to keep it from happening again.
In a series of interviews with people who forecast the financial meltdown in 2008, the makers of the documentary aim to "raise consciousness and inform the public about America's economic future."
Paul, the Republican congressman from Lake Jackson and three-time presidential candidate, is among the other experts who were asked to talk about topics from interest rates to the auto industry and world currencies.
Paul, who is well known for his strong libertarian views, fits in perfectly in a documentary that posits that low interest rates and banking failures caused the economic downturn.
The documentary is based on the book "Meltdown: A Free-Market Look at Why the Stock Market Collapsed, the Economy Tanked, and Government Bailouts Will Make Things Worse" by Dr. Tom Woods.

Monkey's Fist
Frequently requested knot! Finaly I made a description on how to do it.
This is a knot primarily for decoration. For example you can have it in your key ring to impress your friends...
Take a string (or thin rope) aprox. 1 meter long, and hold it as shown on the picture.
Make three turns around your fingers.
"Turn" in between the two fingers, and make three turns around the three previous turns. Do not tighten to much, there should be a little space in the middle.
Remove your index finger from the rope. Put something hard, for example a marble, in the space inside the knot. Now put the end of the rope into the hole where your index finger used to be.
Remove the other finger and let the string go throw the hole where the finger was. Continue until you have made three turns, until there are three turns here also.
Now you are almost done with the knot. Befor you finish it, you should check that there are three turns all around the knot, it is easy to miss a turn.
Start at one of the ends of the rope, and tighten the rope around the marble. Do not pull to hard, it is better to tighten two or three times, then the knot will be much more symetric.
The knot can be done with various number of turns and different thickness of the rope. All depending of how big marble you have.

Purdue University General Travel Policies (B-33)
(Supersedes Executive Memoranda Nos. A-89, A-104, A-124, A-134, and A-140)
March 27, 1975
To: Deans, Chancellors, Directors, and Heads of Schools, Divisions, Departments, and Offices
Re: Purdue University General Travel Policies
The purpose of this memorandum is to inform all University faculty and staff of current general University travel policies. It combines and updates all previous executive directives pertaining to travel. Detailed procedural information is available in the Business Procedure Manual and the Purdue University Travel Regulations booklet.
Official University travel includes all trips in connection with University business by Purdue University employees as authorized by the President or his designees. University business includes necessary travel which improves the quality of the University or contributes to an on-going program of the University, e.g., accomplishment of University-assigned duties, attendance and/or performance of duties at professional meetings of value to the University, procuring financial assistance (contracts, grants, and gifts), and recruiting of staff and students.
Travel for personal consulting, vacation, or other personal reasons is not considered University business. Travel during sabbatical or other leave of absence, including to and from the location of such leave, will not normally be considered University business.
All requests for travel in which direct expense to the University is involved (use of University car or individual reimbursement) must be submitted through the usual administrative channels to the Office of the President or his designee for approval prior to commencement of each trip. The only exception to this regulation is trips covered by "blanket" travel authorization.
The Office of the President has delegated (see Executive Memorandum No. B-31) the authorization and responsibility for travel approvals to the following individuals: Provost, Vice President and Treasurer, Vice President for Development, Regional Campus Chancellors, and Director of Intercollegiate Athletics. These individuals or their designees act on requests for authority to travel on University business and approve forms related thereto.
Approval of requests for authority to travel is based upon estimated expenses only and the actual reimbursement can only be determined and paid after the travel has been completed and the actual expenses known.
It should be clearly understood that all requests for travel on University business, approved by the President or his designees, the condition that all rules and regulations established by the State Budget Agency must be observed and followed.

He further writes the "Out of Left Field" column which appears weekly on Mondays and for the Red Sox blog, Over The Monster, where he analyzes the ups, downs, and horizontal lurches of the Olde Towne Team four times a week along with a talented team of other writers who often wonder how, in fact, he got the job in the first place (he knows people who know people is the answer). He has been published in the e-book "The Hall of Nearly Great," and will be published in the up-coming Baseball Prospectus e-book, "The Call Up."
He lives in Portland, OR, with his two sons, his cat Alee, and his beautiful wife, Stephanie, who's hard work and love makes all the above possible.

Rocker Dave Navarro reunited with his model/actress ex-wife Carmen Electra after taking her to the Revolver Golden Gods Awards on Wednesday night – as his date.
The former "Baywatch" beauty was reportedly dating clothing mogul Tal Cooperman just last month, but it appears she has since moved on and is back with Jane's Addiction star Navarro.
The couple seemed to be very much together, posing for the cameras on the red carpet at the Los Angeles event, and they even took a raunchy selfie of themselves touching tongues.
Navarro shared the photo with his Twitter.com followers and captioned the snap, "May get lucky with this one tonight! #GOLDENGODS @carmenelectra."
Navarro later tweeted that their reunion does not mean the couple is getting back together.
HA! We will always be the best of friends, but we are not back together! RT @TMZ: Electra w/ Ex-Husband Navarro http://t.co/QNTW0oqXj7
— Dave Navarro (@DaveNavarro) April 24, 2014
The pair divorced in 2007 after over three years of marriage.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - UC Santa Barbara's Jessica Beristianos finished the 2010 season on fire and for her performance during last weekend's series at UC Davis, she earned Big West Co-Player of the Week honors it was announced by the conference Monday.
The junior third baseman helped lead the Gauchos to a 2-1 series victory over the league champion Aggies. She kicked off the series with a grand slam in UCSB's 6-0 win over the Aggies, her first homer of the season. She added another RBI in game two, but her RBI single in the top of the first in the finale gave UCSB the early momentum in the eventual 7-2 eight-inning win.
Beristianos batted .600 for the series (3-for-5) with a homer, six RBI, four runs scored and she was walked four times. She posted a .818 on-base percentage and reached base safely at least twice in every game.
This marks the junior's first career player of the week honor. She shared the honor with Cal Poly second baseman, Shea Williams.

A Letter to the Editor in the Dec. 11, 2007, Tomahawk Leader:
To everyone in the local Tomahawk area:
As the upcoming Christmas Season nears, followed by a New Year, we stop to reflect on the past year. Including the recent Thanksgiving, this becomes a time for all to take special notice of how fortunate most people here are in our area. We need to also remember folks who are not necessarily going through the best of times. We have had more folks visit the pantry this year than ever. A higher percentage than before, of the total people getting help, are children.
On behalf of all the volunteers who faithfully work at the Tomahawk Emergency Food Pantry, and those who visit us for food, we wish to thank everyone in our community who donates time, resources, talents and treasure for supporting our efforts at the pantry.
Without the many individual donors, the many, many organized drives, the media, social organizations, businesses and churches, we could not exist. I am sure you have all heard on radio and television and read about the problems with the lack of food at pantries in the surrounding areas. We are just keeping afloat.
Thanks again to all of you, we are able to continue to fulfill our mission. It is wonderful to see the Tomahawk area "taking care of their own." With continued support from you all, the pantry will get the specific staple items and financial support that we need, so we can continue this valuable community service.
Be proud of this in your 2007 reflection. Pat yourselves on the back.
Best wishes for a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
From all of us at the Tomahawk Emergency Food Pantry – Glenn and Sharon Christianson and the 60-some folks who dedicate their time to the Tomahawk Emergency Food Pantry
Remember less fortunate
