Mayim Bialik will be at a cemetery. Denis O'Hare will be trying to figure out what to do with his 4-year old son. And Sarah Paulson will be in a state of terror and anxiety.
Contenders for Emmy Awards say they'll be plenty busy leading up to the ceremony Sunday at the Microsoft Theater in downtown Los Angeles, with pre-red carpet plans ranging from Felicity Huffman's family time with husband and fellow nominee William H. Macy to a gathering of "Transparent" cast and crew at a nearby hotel.
Nominees spoke to The Associated Press on Friday night on their way into the "Variety" and Women in Film pre-Emmy party:
MAYIM BIALIK, Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series ("The Big Bang Theory"): "I'm actually going to the cemetery to visit my father's grave the morning of the Emmys. Between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur it's traditional to visit graves. And that Sunday happens to be Emmy Sunday. So, I'm going to go with my kids and my mom and my ex, and we're going to do that. Then I'm going to order Thai food and start getting hair and makeup around 12, leave the house by 2:30 and hopefully be in bed by 10."
NIECY NASH, Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series ("Getting On"): "You know, I haven't even got that far. It's so overwhelming. You know, each night there are so many things you have to do and I just started thinking about how the day was going to do -- today. 'Wait a minute. Do I need to write something down?' I don't know. I haven't gotten that far yet."
DENIS O'HARE, Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited Series or Movie ("American Horror Story: Freak Show"): "I have a 4-year old. So, I get up way too early, like at 6:30. 'Da-da! Da-da!' ... We figure out what we're going to make him to eat, figure out what we're going to do with the 4-year old for a whole morning. And then I'll probably think about the fact that I have to go to the Emmys. And then I'll get dressed up really quickly. And then I'll get in a car. We'll get stuck in traffic for about two hours. And then you'll fight on the red carpet, which is extraordinary. And then you sit in the room, and you get really, really nervous, and you think, 'I'm not going to win. I'm not going to win.' And then you go to the gifting suite and then you get really cool stuff. And then you go back up and you don't win. And then you go to dinner. And then you go to a party, and you go to a party, and you go home."
FELICITY HUFFMAN, Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series or Movie ("American Crime"): "We're nominated together (with husband Macy for "Shameless"). So that's a pretty great date night. I feel like it's a win already, and I almost wish that the end of the contest didn't happen, that we could just leave like, 'We're all nominated' as opposed to 'We both lost."
JANE KRAKOWSKI, Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series ("Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt"): "After'30 Rock,' I thought that might have been it. So, I'm so happy to be invited back to the party. You know, it'll be glam times. It'll be, like, trying on fancy dresses, people fussing doing hair and makeup. It's nice. It's a little bit of fantasy for the day."
SARAH PAULSON, Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited Series or Movie ("American Horror Story: Freak Show"): "I always worry that it's such a fluke that I've been nominated. So, when it happens again, I think, 'Oh! Maybe it wasn't a mistake. They did it more than once.' "
MAGGIE GYLLENHAAL, Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series or Movie ("The Honorable Woman"),: "I think it's kind of our final celebration. We've kind of been running around with it for a long time."
JILL SOLOWAY, creator of the Outstanding Comedy Series nominee "Transparent:" ''I probably shouldn't say the name of the hotel in case Jeffrey (Tambor) has any stalkers. But we're all going to be getting ready. And then we're going to go to the thing. And then we're going to sit in the chairs and wait."

LAST SEASON: 48-28-6, 102 points. Lost to Los Angeles Kings, 4-2 in Stanley Cup final.
COACH: Peter DeBoer, 2nd season with Devils, 48-28-6; 5th overall, 151-135-42 in NHL.
ADDED: RW Bobby Butler, RW Krys Barch, LW Mathieu Darche (tryout).
LOST: LW Zach Parise, RW Petr Sykora, LW Alexei Ponikarovsky.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Ilya Kovalchuk. With Parise playing for the Wild and the Devils' decision not to re-sign Sykora, Kovalchuk (37 goals) has to produce more to make up for the loss of 52 goals.
OUTLOOK: Despite losing Parise, their captain, the Devils return most of the players that came up two wins shy of a Stanley Cup. Martin Brodeur remains one of the league's top goaltenders at 40, and this veteran team has the potential to improve playing a second season under Peter DeBoer.
LAST SEASON:47-26-9,103 points. Lost to New Jersey Devils 4-1 in second round.
COACH: Peter Laviolette, 4th season with Flyers, 122-73-26; 11th season overall, 366-257-25-60 in NHL.
ADDED: D Luke Schenn, LW Ruslan Fedotenko, D Bruno Gervais.
LOST: RW Jaromir Jagr, G Sergei Bobrovsky, RW James van Riemsdyk, D Matt Carle, D Pavel Kubina
PLAYER TO WATCH: G Ilya Bryzgalov. Bryzgalov made few fans in his first season in Philadelphia with his quirky personality and erratic play. He had his moments of proving he was worth the $51 million, nine-year deal he signed, but he'll need more of them in the playoffs to win a Stanley Cup.
OUTLOOK: The Flyers have one of the best players in the game in team captain Claude Giroux, but the thin defense needs improvement and Bryzgalov has to improve if Philadelphia is going win its first Stanley Cup since 1975.

Blood Rituals
Posted 17 April 2004 - 10:21 PM
For my Samhain ritual last year, the Priest invoked the God and I the Goddess and we did a bloodletting, letting several drops of blood flow into the chalice to be passed around for libations. There were some who refused to drink, which was definitely an option. Others had no problem with partaking of the essence of the divine beings. I've also used blood in several spells as well, all with fantastic results.
How do you feel about incorporating blood work into your practices?
Posted 18 April 2004 - 03:17 AM
I'm sure you had wonderful results but squeamish me doesn't know whether she'd be able to drink blood....!!!
btw, isn't it dangerous? I mean for trasmitted disease and the like?

I agree with something you've said in another topic on this board, much of the Wiccan and Neo-Pagan movement these days is rather on the Fluffy Bunny side of things...perhaps as a backlash towards the long standing negative view of the faiths by monotheistic religions.
I myself have no issues with using blood in small quantities in rituals. Of course, these days, one doesn't see the animal and occassional human sacrific, nor do I think there is much of a percieved need for that, although one can easily see the reasons and logic for it in Pre Christian times. But I have indeed used a touch of my own blood in the past in ritual and found it more powerful.
As I've said before, I was brought up strictly Catholic, and since blood in the figurative sense is such a strong element of the faith (as in...the Blood of Christ, the Blood of Martyrs, etc, etc), it was very much easy for me to consider blood in my Pagan rituals without squimishness.

Goddess forbid I say menstrual blood, and all the men on this board go running for the nearest exit... but, anybody ever use it in ritual? Hey, a woman on her cycle can produce extremely powerful magick.

Surprising how generation after generation of mother to daughter teaching that it's somehow dirty can really stick! I know it's normal, I know it's powerful, I have a pretty decent idea of how it was once percieved as a magical time for women, but it's hard to overcome things that were pounded into your head at puberty.

Vampchick. You poor thing. Were you raised in the Catholic school system? lol. And what a horrible thing for someone to say about menstruation! Tears of an empty womb. Sheesh. Like the only thing it's good for is makin' babies! But yes, it took some getting over for me to attempt it myself. Joining the feminist movement helped. lol.
Thanks for your thoughts on it.
Oh and Lamuris gets cool points for posting even AFTER the mention of menstrual blood.

The CDC advises that the risk is still present, even with intact oral mucosa. It is some of the HIV groups that say there is no risk. The choice is yours, but why take the risk?
Posted 18 April 2004 - 03:35 PM
Posted 18 April 2004 - 03:48 PM
As for the blood thing, fill your boots. Just please be careful. I personally don't see any reason to do it, and no, I don't do it, especially since the risk is there. As for how many cases have been reported... there is a first for everything, and I wouldn't want to be that statistic. I agree that blood is the life force, and if your religious beliefs or personal beliefs require you to do it, then so be it.
I hope this answers your question. I kind of babbled.

In some tribes (all the specifics are currently escaping me) women were forbidden to prepare food for men while on their period as it was thought that they could accidently curse or posion just by being on their period. They weren't allowed near the shaman or holy person as they could make a mess of the magic.
Most of that was off the top of my head, since it was about 15 years ago that I actually read that stuff...so I can't really recall everything. The book title was something about menstrual taboos....
As to added power, well, I've not tried to actually use it yet myself.

I have never used blood personally but the idea of blood in ritual candles is pardon the obviously bad pun, bloody brilliant! Thanx Lamuris!
Or do things worth the writing.

"Sunday Cabaret," a popular collaboration between Community Missions and the Episcopal Diocese of Western New York, will kick off its second season with a picnic on Saturday, July 27, from noon until 2 p.m. The event, to be held at CMI, is open to all and will allow the agency to show its appreciation to all those who made the project a success.
As was the practice throughout the past cabarets, guests in the community kitchen, as well as participants in all of CMI's programs, are invited to attend.
"Sunday Cabaret" was developed through the Mustard Seed Project, an initiative of Bishop R. William Franklin of the Episcopal Diocese of Western New York. One Sunday each month, two local church congregations partnered to provide dinner in the community soup kitchen and to present a special program. The event provided a time of fun and fellowship for guests in the kitchen, individuals and families staying in the missions' crisis housing, and participants in CMI's programs for parolee re-entry, youth, and residential- and community-based programs for adults living with mental illness.
"The 'Sunday Cabaret' project made a very positive contribution to everyone involved - the churches, Community Missions, and especially to the many consumers of CMI services that participated," said Mark Breese, agency pastor at Community Missions.
Last season, the programs included performances by the Gospel Groove Band, magician Mike Hilburger and chalk artist/storyteller Robert Cramer. Other events included a "Celtic Fest" in March, including a dinner of corned beef and cabbage followed by a presentation of Irish songs and dancers. The season concluded with two very different performances by clowns. In April, the group "Fools for Christ" dramatized the story of Noah and the flood in mime, while in May, Twinkle Toes entertained the audience with interactive magic.
"The 'Sunday Cabaret' was a great success," said Grant Babcock, director of operations at CMI. "We are so glad to have a chance to thank all the churches that were part of the effort, and especially thank all of the kitchen guests, CMI clients, and others who came to the 'Sunday Cabarets.' "
The project is designed to offer a unique time of food, fellowship, entertainment and cultural experiences that may not typically be available to those the mission serves, as well as to the public. Its seeds began in the spring of 2012, as the Niagara Deanery received funding to initiate a cooperative outreach project by eight Episcopal churches in Niagara County, Community Missions, and the community. This coincided with Breese's "Many Hands of God" initiative, which builds projects with churches in Niagara County that strengthen shared ministries.
"The 'Sunday Cabaret' series at Community Missions has been a great outreach project for the Christian community of WNY," said Michael Pyskaty, a student at Starpoint High School who served as videographer for the project. "It is great to see how our actions have touched the lives of the clients of the mission, and it has been a privilege to work as a member of this superb outreach program. Taking the videos and photos of every performance has been a great opportunity for me, and it has changed my life."
The Episcopal Deanery of Niagara County is now working with CMI and other church partners to plan the 2013-14 series of 'Sunday Cabarets.'
"It has been such a successful ministry on so many levels," said The Very Rev. Judith Lee, dean of the Niagara Deanery. "We are looking forward to the coming months and know that it will be even better than last year."
For more information on the 'Sunday Cabaret' project, or if you are interested in participating for the upcoming year, contact either Breese at 716-285-3403, ext. 2259, or [email protected], or Lee at 716-778-7633 or at [email protected].

Community transition
From Openmoko
(added a section about community organization)

=== What's the future of Open phone hardware without Openmoko Inc. ? ===
=== What's the future of Open phone hardware without Openmoko Inc. ? ===
''please answer here''
''please answer here''
Revision as of 03:49, 9 June 2009
Sean Moss-Pultz (CEO of Openmoko Inc.) decided that the best path forward for the phone business is to turn the future of the Freerunner over to the community. (See the announcement for details)
In brief :
- The Neo Freerunner development is now fully performed by the Gta02-core project
- The community has permission to use the Openmoko brand/trademark for their efforts
- Openmoko Inc. will continue to provide funding for operating the infrastructure (Wiki, GIT, Trac, Planet, ...)
Wish List
List here for what kinds of things OM can do to smooth this transition.
- continue to funding the infrastructure
- promote and sell the Freerunner
- create the Openmoko foundation ?
I'm using OM2008/2009 now. Will this distribution still be maintained ? Should I switch ? How ? What will change, what do I have to learn/unlearn ?
please answer here (Om2008 hadn't maintained for a while before that announcement. Now only maintained distro by Openmoko is Om2009)
What will happen with FSO ? Will development continue ? Will a distribution carry it ?
please answer here
What will happen with Paroli ? Will development continue ? Will a distribution carry it ?
please answer here
How will the kernel be maintained ?
The kernel will be maintained by a group of volunteers. The main change now is that more than one person will be able to commit. The list of committers will be published soon.
These are the most important bugs that need to be fixed now.
This is the complete report with all the bugs (some of them might be invalid, please ask on IRC or in the mailing list before trying to fix one).
There is a current ongoing effort to get basic GTA02 support in the mainstream Linux kernel, the patches have been sent. Once this basic support is ready other drivers can be submitted as well. Many of the drivers need additional work to be suitable for upstream inclusion.
Will Openmoko continue selling FreeRunners ? For how long ?
please answer here
I have a purchase/return/warranty/etc. in progress with Openmoko Inc. or a distributor. What will happen ?
please answer here
I have buzz/#1024/no bass/etc. Can I still get it fixed ? How ?
please answer here
Will the Openmoko Internet resources, Wiki, mailing lists, SVN, git, downloads, people, trac, etc., be shut down ?
No. Openmoko Inc. has committed to continuing to support the community by funding the resources available on openmoko.org.
From Sean's email announcement: "Openmoko Inc. then will act as the sponsor of this effort. We will continue to fund all necessary server infrastructure..."
Will "project B" continue ?
please answer here
What's the future of Open phone hardware without Openmoko Inc. ?
please answer here
Community Organization
In order for development to continue on the Freerunner and any potential successors, the community needs to create an organization that can facilitate the project. We need an organization that will:
- provide an organizational structure for projects
- host and maintain community infrastructure such as mailing lists
- arrange financing for projects
- promote and raise awareness of the ideals, projects and products of the community

Every Tuesday, blogger Matt Vensel breaks down a critical play, sometimes with the help of Ravens players, from that week's game. Today he looks at Anquan Boldin's ice-breaking catch in the fourth quarter Sunday.
For a span of about two quarters Sunday, the Ravens offense, which had started the game with two efficient touchdown drives on their first two possessions, went ice cold. In five straight possessions, the Ravens failed to pick up a first down. Not so suddenly, in the fourth quarter, they trailed the Cleveland Browns by a point.
There was plenty of blame to spread around at that point. Quarterback Joe Flacco was overthrowing wide receivers after completing his first 10 passes. Running back Ray Rice was meeting resistance after averaging more than five yards per carry in the first quarter. The play-calling remained balanced, which benefited both the offense and the defense, but the plays that Cam Cameron barked into Flacco's headset weren't working.
"I think all of us were probably frustrated a little bit there," Flacco said after the game. "We weren't able to move the ball, we weren't converting on third down, and so I think you have got to deal with it."
After falling behind, 15-14, with just under nine minutes left to play at Cleveland Browns Stadium, the Ravens stood 81 yards away from the Cleveland end zone, though it probably felt like about 81 miles away to them at that point. An incomplete pass toward wide receiver Torrey Smith on the first play of the drive put the Ravens behind the down-and-distance eight ball again. But on 2nd-and-10, the Ravens offense finally started to heat up before it was too late.
And of course it was Anquan Boldin who provided the spark.
At the snap of the ball, Flacco faked a handoff to Rice -- that's part of the reason why sticking with the run paid off -- and the running back ran to his right to deny Browns defensive end Frostee Rucker a straight line to the quarterback. The offensive line allowed some penetration, but held their blocks long enough to allow Flacco, who completed 15 of 24 passes for 152 yards, to step into his throw.
The Ravens, who were in max protection on the play-action pass, only had two receivers running routes. Smith ran a deep skinny post on the left, drawing the attention of both safeties. Meanwhile, Boldin, who always seems to victimize the Browns, ran 20 yards then made a sharp left turn into the middle of the field. Flacco drove the ball to him into a window between three defenders, including cornerback Joe Haden, who was running underneath the route.
"We just didn't execute well enough to convert a first down to get ourselves going," Ravens coach John Harbaugh said Monday of their struggles after the first quarter. "As soon as we hit the play-action pass to Anquan, we were off and running again."
The Ravens mixed in runs with more passes, and were aided by a personal foul on free safety T.J. Ward, while driving 81 yards on nine plays. Flacco and Smith teamed up for the team's only touchdown pass of the game and Boldin added the two-point conversion on another well-designed play to put the Ravens up, 22-15. The Ravens went on to win by 10 points, but the outcome might have been different if not for Boldin's big catch.
"We just needed one play to break the ice and that was it," fullback Vonta Leach said of the 21-yard gain.

So I have been playing with a script in python to better understand networking. So far my script works just like Wireshark, I am using Pcap, dpkt to filter traffic so I can view it in real time, which if I might say so it's very cool. (learned alot)

Attempts to find solutions to the problems we face in the current climate of economic uncertainty, energy insecurity and environmental concerns can seem overwhelming. One of the biggest challenges we face is that of food security – leading food producers have warned that unless the UK urgently develops a food strategy we will be left relying on imported food and without a sustainable future for British food production.
But it seems more and more people are taking notice. Across the country, individuals are coming together to set up their own food solutions – from community shops and co-operative farmers' markets to community supported agriculture projects and veg box schemes. In fact, their impact is so great that they are considered a movement, with community food enterprises springing up in communities everywhere, from small rural villages in Cumbria to the busy streets of central London.
Making Local Food Work – a Big Lottery Fund funded initiative led by Plunkett Foundation – has worked with over 1,300 of these enterprises, reaching out to over 3 million people. Jennifer Smith, head of managing the programme, notes the real shift in momentum over the last four and a half years of the project: "The community food sector as a whole has grown significantly over the past four and a half years," she says. "But interestingly, it's not just that the number of enterprises has grown; we're increasingly seeing communities linking up different activities to create a local food system, with the ability to offer their community a much broader range of services."
One example of this is in the Colne Valley, West Yorkshire. A group of four local enterprises passionate about their community have come together to form 'Colne U Copia,' a local food system that has declared independence from global and industrialised foods. The four organisations – the Green Valley Grocer (a community-owned shop), The Handmade Bakery (a community supported bakery), Edibles (a food growing enterprise) and the Marsden and Slaithwaite Transition Towns group – have been working together to develop a food brand and trading system with the aim of increasing the amount of food that is grown, produced and sold in the Colne Valley, with the aim of making the area self-sufficient within 10 years.
Steve Smith, of Edibles, says: "Currently most of the food consumed in the Colne Valley comes from elsewhere; transported from around the country and around the world. The local community has little idea how it was produced, by whom, under what conditions, how it got to the local shops and who profits from it.
"Local food is the opposite; growers and producers are known, there is a confidence in the quality of the food, it is highly seasonal, buying it supports the local economy and above all it is nutritious and tastes good. Buying local also builds community and the networks within it – already the Colne-U-Copia partners are building social, economic and environmental capital into the local area through better and more productive land management, people shopping locally, increasingly vibrant villages (where people talk to each other when buying vegetables or bread), and making sure money is both earned and spent in the Colne Valley."
And they're not alone. Community innovators like the Colne-U-Copia group are increasingly realizing that by scaling up, they are able to offer a real alternative to high food miles and large carbon footprints. Their message is beginning to resonate with more and more people, culminating in an explosion of enterprises and mainstream media coverage – The People's Supermarket, a London-based co-operative, was the subject of a Channel 4 TV series in 2011, and this year is being hailed as the Year of Co-operatives by the United Nations.
But importantly, the potential of community food enterprises is being picked up by policy makers too. Last year saw the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs commission some research to explore the impact of community food enterprises in the South West of England, exploring models like St Werberg's City Farm in Bristol and Taunton Farmers's Market. And March will see the final Making Local Food Work conference being attended by a senior government minister and Tim Lang, Professor of Food Policy at City University. Prof Lang was a founding member of the London Food Commission in the 1980s which conducted groundbreaking work on issues such as food additives and the effect of food poverty among those on low incomes. Coining the term 'food miles' to refer to the distance our food travels before it reaches our plates, his work made a major contribution to the Food Safety Act of 1990 and the creation of the Food Standards Agency in 2000. In 2007 he was inducted into the Observer Food Monthly's Hall of Fame, and his appearance at the largest event for community food enterprises is a clear indication of how far the movement has come.
"There is a challenging but exciting future for local food," says Jennifer Smith. "We've already seen the significant impact that community food enterprises can have, but our task now is to work out what direction the sector will move in the future and how best we can support it."

ST. MARTIN, MS (WLOX) - A Jackson County woman went to Oklahoma to deliver supplies and help with the tornado clean-up. She came home over the weekend with images of destruction beyond her imagination. It was a life-changing experience.
The images in the video were unbelievable, house after house blown to pieces.
"It was completely flat homes. Everything like kids toys just strewn everywhere. Clothes, baby clothes, they were completely torn apart," said Casey Palmer of St. Martin. "I looked for miles over the fields and I couldn't ever stop seeing the destruction. It was like, man where does it end?"
Palmer shot the video during her relief mission to Oklahoma last week. Palmer and two friends from Jackson drove for 14-hours Wednesday night, pulling a trailer loaded with donations from generous South Mississippians. Their first stop was a food bank in Edmond, OK, just north of the disaster zone.
"I remember one lady, she was in tears. She was crying and she couldn't believe it. She said, 'I can't believe y'all did this!' So they were really, really shocked," recalled Palmer.
The following morning, they rode into Moore. Nothing prepared Palmer for what she was about to see.
"I was totally blown away. I never thought I'd see slabs of homes with everything completely wiped away, little children's bedrooms just ripped through. And you can tell, because you can see the Spider Man or the Super Woman or the Barbie comforters through the window and there's nothing else there," said Palmer. "I was fighting tears, because you saw all the people that were there cleaning their homes, and it was heartbreaking to see that and see what they've lost."
The three friends immediately went to work, using chain saws they brought with them to clear away trees and debris.
"I'm surprised that I even did it, because I'm scared of car rides. I hate getting dirty. But there was nothing that could stand in my way," said Palmer.
In the middle of the clean-up, Palmer suddenly stopped and started giving total strangers hugs.
"I didn't ask them any questions. I just told them I wanted to give them a hug, because I was glad they were here with us today," said Palmer. "They probably thought, 'Oh, she's crazy.' But I put tears a few in their eyes."
Palmer said the experience has shown her that love triumphs over material things.
"They were very thankful. I mean, it was almost like they were in shock. They couldn't believe it. Why would you want to help? Why would you care? But we showed them that Mississippi does care," she said.
Palmer is planning another trip to Moore, OK. She wants to deliver more supplies and help with the rebuilding. Palmer and her friends are also interested in forming a disaster response team.

If you have just graduated from college, congratulations! Take a few moments to admire your diploma and pat yourself on the back…and then get ready to attach your nose firmly to the grindstone (again).
Unless you went to school under a rock, you know that graduates are facing one of the worst job markets in recent memory. In 2012, about 1.5 million bachelor's degree holders under age 25 (that's 53.6 percent) were unemployed or underemployed. And the trend isn't on track to change this year, either: A poll released in April revealed that more than half of graduates admitted to difficulty in finding a job.
Clearly, you'll need to differentiate yourself from the pack if you want to get (and keep) a job in this cutthroat environment. And according to Coach Micheal J. Burt and Colby Jubenville, it's not just about showing how different you are from the competition; it's about showing how you'll make a difference for hiring companies.
"In today's economy, companies need to know from the outset that you'll add remarkable value instead of being a drain on the payroll," confirms Burt, coauthor along with Jubenville of the new book Zebras & Cheetahs: Look Different and Stay Agile to Survive the Business.
Here, Burt and Jubenville share tips that will help you to show your value so that you can get—and keep—a job in the chaos of the concrete jungle:
Respond quickly. With such a high unemployment rate for college graduates, most jobs won't stay on the market very long after being posted.
Show up in person (and early) when you can. Arriving at your interview with plenty of time to spare is just good common sense.
Differentiate yourself. This is arguably the most important thing to bring to the job interview table: a clear answer to the question "What makes you different?"
Learn to leverage your past. One of the most important points you can make is that you know how to overcome adversity.
Showcase your innovation. It's smart to show that you are imaginative and innovative.
Let them know you play well with others. Nobody is looking to hire a hotshot employee who's in it for individual glory. Companies want to hire people who are willing and eager to be members of a team.
Solve their problems. Do your homework about the company you're hoping to work for. It will enable you to pinpoint ways in which you'll be an asset if you're hired.
Be coachable. The ability to accept constructive feedback and implement those suggestions is extremely valuable.
Hit the ground running. Companies want to know that you'll add immediate value if you're hired. Come to the interview with at least one specific action plan for how you'd like to hit the ground running.
"Here's one last tip to keep in mind when going into an interview," Burt concludes. "Never ask about money up-front—save that discussion for after you've proven your value. Once your employer knows how much of an asset you are, your request is more likely to be granted, anyway!"

Top Cars
Top 6 Cars with Infotainment under $30,000
Today's infotainment systems can perform a long list of convenient functions. But while the advanced touchscreen technology appeals mainly to younger, tech-savvy car shoppers, the systems are often included in vehicles with near-luxury price tags. Fortunately, we've rounded up a list of seven great cars that offer infotainment for under $30,000, allowing buyers on a budget to experience the futuristic convenience provided by some of today's most exciting in-car technology.
Chevrolet Malibu Eco
The recently redesigned 2013 Chevrolet Malibu comes standard with the automaker's MyLink infotainment system in its hybrid Eco trim level, which starts around $26,000 after destination. In addition to common infotainment equipment like a touchscreen display, Bluetooth connectivity and SiriusXM satellite radio, MyLink provides buyers with several other high-tech features like Pandora Internet Radio and an enhanced voice control system designed to improve communication. The system also touts its unique Gracenote technology, which allows users to add cover art and artist nicknames to their musical selections. For shoppers who would prefer an SUV, MyLink also comes standard in the 2012 Chevrolet Equinox, which offers a starting price of less than $25,000 including destination.
Ford Focus
Ford's new-and-improved MyFord Touch infotainment system is available on its handsome Focus SEL for just $1,170 above the model's $21,300 base price with destination. In addition to typical equipment like an SD card slot, a USB port, an auxiliary jack for audio or video input and SiriusXM satellite radio, MyFord Touch provides drivers with several other unique features. Among them are a "911 Assist" function that puts occupants in touch with an emergency operator in the event of a collision, an Internet media app with Pandora Internet Radio and a Vehicle Health Report that displays vehicle diagnostics, recall information and upcoming required maintenance. The system even provides full Wi-Fi capability, allowing nearby devices to share its Internet connection. Also included with MyFord Touch is the automaker's SYNC system, which allows users to control several in-car functions using voice commands and even hear text messages read through the vehicle's speakers.
Hyundai Veloster
Although we love Hyundai's sporty Veloster for its exciting styling and eye-grabbing color palette, one of the unconventional hatchback's best features is its Blue Link infotainment system. Offered as standard equipment on even the base-level Veloster, which starts around $18,000, Blue Link includes a long list of futuristic features. While several items - like SiriusXM satellite radio, weather reports and maintenance reminders - are certainly useful, we're more impressed by Blue Link's unique selling points. Such equipment includes gas station pricing and location information, audio answers to frequently asked questions found in the owner's manual and even a location sharing function that can post a Veloster's coordinates on social media sites like Facebook. The system also boasts several parent-friendly functions including "Curfew Alert," "Speed Alert," and "Geo Fence," which can send text messages if a driver stays out past a certain hour, exceeds a specified speed or goes beyond a pre-determined area.
Jeep Compass
Although Chrysler's UConnect infotainment system isn't as advanced as some of its counterparts, we like its large touchscreen, high-resolution display and easy-to-use screenflow. We also like that the system is available for under $500 on all versions of Jeep's compact Compass SUV - even the base-level Compass Sport, which starts around $20,000. And while the system doesn't offer some of its rivals' unique features, it does offer an advanced navigation system, voice control, SiriusXM satellite radio and Bluetooth. UConnect also provides available Wi-Fi through the automaker's aftermarket Mopar division and even lets drivers respond to text messages without removing their hands from the steering wheel.
Kia Rio
The subcompact Kia Rio makes it easy for buyers to get their hands on the automaker's technologically advanced UVO entertainment system. That's because the system is available for just $1,000 on the mid-level Rio EX, which starts just over $17,000, and comes standard on the upscale Rio SX, which starts under $19,000 after destination. Short for "Your Voice," UVO includes a 4.3-inch touch screen and a standard rearview camera along with several other exciting features like Bluetooth and HD Radio. The system also offers an advanced voice control system which allows drivers to create their own speech profiles to help UVO better understand the way they speak.
Mini Cooper
Available for an extra $1,250 on new Mini Cooper models, Mini Connected provides an in-car interface for Mini-driving iPhone users. Buyers who specify the option and download the Apple Store's free Mini Connected app can access the system, which is operated through a controller mounted on the Mini's center console. In addition to offering drivers the ability to listen to Internet radio, Mini Connected provides occupants with the ability to conduct Google searches for businesses and even taps into social media networks to display news feeds. Best of all, the system is even available on the base-level Mini Cooper, which starts just over $20,000. That means buyers don't need to upgrade their Mini to improve their connectivity.
Toyota Prius C
Toyota's recently released subcompact Prius C is among the automaker's least expensive cars to feature the brand's new Entune infotainment system. Offered as standard equipment on the affordable Prius C Three, which starts at just over $22,000 after destination, Entune includes a long list of technologically advanced convenience features. Such items include Bluetooth wireless phone connectivity, a USB port for music, and SiriusXM satellite radio. The system also gives occupants access to mobile apps from a variety of sources including Microsoft's Bing search engine, restaurant reservation firm OpenTable, movietickets.com and Internet radio provider Pandora. Lastly, Entune provides a host of helpful information for drivers on the go including navigation, weather reports, traffic information, stock quotes, news, and local fuel prices by location.
What it means to you: Today's latest infotainment technology is available on many new cars with very reasonable price tags.

Is there any assignment more important for an NFL general manager than picking his team's franchise quarterback? Is there any assignment more important for a head coach than developing his team's franchise quarterback?
The answer to both these questions is a resounding, not-up-for-debate, "No!"
And that's the reason Chad Henne's success is very important to Jeff Ireland and Tony Sparano.
It's simple, really. If Henne succeeds going forward, if he continues to improve and continues to make strides and continues on the path toward becoming Miami's franchise quarterback, he will be also virtually providing a guarantee for Sparano and Ireland that they will be thought of successes in their respective jobs.
Simple as that, folks.
If Henne becomes a star, there is not a ton else either Sparano or Ireland could do to endanger their Miami careers. Henne goes to the Pro Bowl, Henne becomes the franchise QB, Henne joins the ranks of the NFL's elite QBs and the two men atop the Dolphins organization are virtually locked into their spots.
Thats because, typically, finding an elite QB leads a team to the kind of success that keeps hanging Ws on the standings and that keeps fans happy, which fills stadiums, which makes owners happy, which means everyone is safe.
Can you think of one GM who picked an elite QB and got canned? Can you think of one coach who developed an elite QB and got canned? I can't.
So yes, the fact Chad Henne played well Sunday against the Raiders was good news for the Dolphins, good for Henne, and definitely good for Ireland and Sparano.
Yes, it was only one game. But better a good one game than a bad one game, I say.
The other side of that two-sided coin isn't so good for anyone.
If what we saw from Henne against the Raiders (17 of 30 for 307 yards with two TDs and one INT) is more mirage than mastery, then that is bad news for everyone, and we do mean everyone.
If Henne continues to merely tread water and follow a good game with a bad game, we have an issue. Typically and up-and-down quarterback makes his team an inconsistent team. That kind of quarterback on the edge of getting benched one week and playing well the next is only good enough to get most teams to .500
And .500 isn't good enough for job security in today's NFL.
That kind of quarterback play would cause folks to question not just the QB but the people responsible for putting the QB on the team and in the lineup.
Let's face it, the most important player on any NFL team is the quarterback so finding the right guy is the general manager's most important decision. And once he's on the team, developing that quarterback into a player who has reached his potential and reached a level of excellence is the coach's No. 1 priority.
There is no defense for failing at this.
The general manager cannot say, "I screwed up in finding us a franchise quarterback but what about the cornerback and the defensive end I found?" That kind of argument gets met with a shrug.
And no coach can say with a straight face, "I couldn't do anything with the quarterback, but what about the job I did with center and the left tackle and the strongside linebacker."
"Yeah but you screwed up the franchise quarterback," is the worst line either the GM or the coach could ever have to argue against. It's a losing proposition.
So Tony Sparano and Jeff Ireland have to be feeling pretty good about themselves right now. Chad Henne is playing well now. The guy they have tapped as their franchise quarterback is apparently pointed in the right direction toward that goal.
They both must hope and work toward the situation staying that way. Because both are undoubtedly tied to Henne.

Capcom announces Remember Me, a "sleek" sci-fi action/adventure featuring a female protagonist named Nilin due for release on Windows and PlayStation 3 in May 2013 (apparently this is the game once known as ADRIFT). An announcement trailer gives a sense of the game (the top commenter calls it "Mirrors Edge meets Total Recall") and this remixed trailer features a whole bunch of gameplay footage inspiring this top rated comment: "It's like Assassin's Creed, Deus Ex and Watch Dogs had a baby." The Capcom Website notes they will be streaming some gameplay footage from gamescom, and in the meantime, here's word:

Here's a fun way to sneak in some work in math that covers measuring, counting and shape recognition.
Background: A tessellation is tiling a flat surface with shapes so that there are no gaps or overlaps. This activity uses equilateral triangles and rhombuses (diamonds) to create designs that tessellate.
Prep work:
Print the triangle and rhombus nets from http://www.familymathnight.com/pdf/saltdoughtessellations.pdf. Glue onto cardboard, cut out and tape together. Be sure to tape the edges as this will help prevent the cardboard from getting moist.
Make the salt dough:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup fine salt
¾ -1 cup water
Have your child help you measure out the flour and salt into a bowl. Add ¾ cup of water and mix. Mixing with hands is messy but a lot of fun. Add water as needed until dough is firm but still workable.
The math: Which is more, one cup of salt or two cups of flour? How many more cups of flour did we put in compared to the salt? If we doubled the recipe, how many cups of flour would we need? How many total cups of ingredients did we add to the bowl?
Roll out the dough to a thickness of about ¼ inch.
The math: Can you use this ruler to help me find ¼ of an inch. Do you think it's going to be more than on inch or less than one inch? Advanced: How many ¼ inches are in one inch?
3. Use the cookie cutter triangle and rhombus to make shapes.
The math: How many triangles did you make? How many rhombuses (also called parallelograms) did you make ? How many total shapes did you make? Which shape did you make more of? How many more/less does the triangle have than the rhombus? How do you know this is a triangle? What can you tell me about the lengths of the sides of this triangle (they are all the same)? A triangle with all sides the same length is called an equilateral triangle. What can you tell me about the rhombus?
4. Bake shapes at 200 degrees for 20 – 30 minutes. (An option is to let them air dry which takes about 2 days. Turn over periodically to allow for even drying.)
The math: Can you help me find 200 on the oven (or however your oven works so that there is an opportunity to discuss '200'.) Advanced: If we put them in for 20 minutes and we have 15 minutes to go, how much time have they been in the oven?
Paint the shapes, including the sides, and let dry.
Use the shapes to make designs that tessellate. Note: The shapes may not fit together perfectly. That's okay and part of the charm of the activity. When the designs are made and without picking up the pieces, glue the edges together using white glue or a hot glue gun. Colored glue can be made by adding food coloring to white glue or using colored glue for the hot glue gun.
Left-over shapes can be used as refrigerator magnets!

Comcast And AT&T Want Their Cut From Prenda Too
from the welcome-to-the-big-leagues dept
Not surprisingly, Hansmeier quickly filed an angry response, arguing that there is no possible reason why he should have to pay attorneys' fees, and even arguing that there's still no evidence of wrongdoing... by himself (leaving the others out to dry). Basically, he argues that while he was involved with the case briefly, none of his actions were the problematic ones. He also claims that the requests for attorneys' fees isn't timely, since Team Prenda had dismissed the case six months ago -- leaving out the ruling from just last week which found Team Prenda's actions problematic and subject to attorneys' fees. Amusingly, he also argues that Comcast laying out in great detail all of the bogus actions of Team Prenda in this case, as well as how multiple other judges have called out their behavior and alerted law enforcement about their activities for criminal investigation, is nothing more than an ad hominem attack.
Sorry, Paul, if someone calls you a morally bankrupt scamming loser -- that would be an ad hominem attack. Comcast laying out in great detail how judges have ruled that you committed fraud on the court in very similar cases, and ordered you to pay attorneys' fees (while also alerting law enforcement, the IRS, local legal bars and others to investigate), is presenting relevant information to the court. It might help to learn the difference.

Myth Busting: Yes, An Advertisement Can Be Fair Use Parody
from the keep-busting-those-myths dept
The ruling is well worth reading, citing the same Supreme Court case we talked about yesterday about how commercial use can absolutely be fair use, but directly applying it to this case, where a parody ad was created. While it recognizes that this is a commercial use, it notes that the overall weight of the four factors test makes it fair use:
More than any other, I've seen this myth repeated everywhere. Can a company parody a famous artist's work and use it, against their will, to advertise an unrelated product? Actually, yes, as long as the use is transformative enough.
The most famous case is the Naked Gun advertisement below, a parody of photographer Annie Leibovitz's famous portrait of Demi Moore for Vanity Fair.
If you care about this sort of thing, the District Court's decision is a fantastic, and surprisingly readable, breakdown of the history of parody and fair use.
The fair use doctrine has been described as a "guarantee of breathing space at the heart of copyright."... This breathing space ensures that copyright will not stifle the very proliferation of creative works that it was designed to foster. Three of the four fair use factors in the present case militate in favor of a finding of fair use, largely because the defendant's transformation of the plaintiff's photograph has resulted in public access to two distinct works, serving distinct markets, with little risk that the creator of the first work will be disinclined to create further works that may be open to parody. Because I agree with the Second Circuit that in this case "[a]ccording [the] proprietor [of the copyrighted work] further protection against parody does little to promote creativity, but it places a substantial inhibition upon the creativity of authors adept at using parody, ..." I hold that the fundamental purposes of copyright are best served by a finding that defendant's use of the Moore photograph is a fair one.Earlier in the ruling, she also notes that while commercial use may be less likely to be protected as fair use, there are plenty of cases where it makes sense, if you understand the purpose of copyright:
I can only reconcile these disparate elements by returning to the core purpose of copyright: to foster the creation and dissemination of the greatest number of creative works. The end result of the Nielsen ad parodying the Moore photograph is that the public now has before it two works, vastly different in appeal and nature, where before there was only one.Those findings clearly apply in the Goldieblox case as well, where the two situations are nearly identical. In fact, it's arguable that in the Liebovitz case, she actually had an slightly stronger claim than the Beastie Boys would have here.
And yes, this ruling is only a district court ruling in NY, so it is in no way binding on the California court where Goldieblox filed its declaratory judgment suit. But it highlights that, contrary to the claims of way too many people, yes, an advertisement can be a fair use parody of a different work.

Congratulations, 2014 World Cup fans: You are very good at drinking. Or perhaps, like our American friend above, very bad at it.
FIFA secretary general Jérôme Valcke told Brazilian TV that he was "surprised" and "amazed by the number of people who were drunken and the level of alcohol" at this year's tournament. He cited instances of drunken violence, including clashes between Colombia and Uruguay supporters, England-on-England ear-biting, and Argentina fans running wild in Belo Horizonte.
In the face of high levels of fan violence, Brazil banned alcohol sales in soccer stadiums 11 years ago. But after being awarded the World Cup, lawmakers were forced to pass a bill allowing booze sales for the duration of the tournament. (Budweiser is a major World Cup sponsor.) "Alcoholic drinks are part of the FIFA World Cup," Valcke said at the time, "so we're going to have them. Excuse me if I sound a bit arrogant but that's something we won't negotiate. The fact that we have the right to sell beer has to be a part of the law."
Valcke now sounds like he's reconsidering.
In Monday's SporTV interview, Valcke appeared to soften his position, saying alcohol sales are "something we have to look at."
"If we think that it is necessary to control (alcohol sales) we will control them," said Valcke. "We would never put the organization of a match at risk."
Don't expect any changes for 2018; that tournament takes place in Russia, where grain alcohol will come out of the bathroom faucets. But 2022 remains very up-in-the-air. Qatar has two liquor stores in the entire country, with a permit required to gain entry. Alcohol is also sold in most luxury hotels, but only to foreigners. A top Qatari official said he sees no reason for alcohol to be sold at stadiums, though the country's bid did promise specially designated "fan zones" where beer could be served.
Anyway, let's check back on lush lady liberty and see if he's figured out how drinking works.
Ah, I think he's getting it. He's got nothing on Mexico, though.

Do you have the credit score you need to buy a home? Take a look below for more information on what credit score you need to get a mortgage, and some helpful information on raising your credit score.
What Credit Score Do I Need?
You'll need a credit score of at least 640 to get a mortgage for your home. However, keep in mind that the higher your credit score is, the more likely you are to qualify for the mortgage and interest rates that you want.
Why Your Credit Score is So Important
Lenders estimate your ability to pay back money borrowed based upon your credit score. A high credit score can result in a lower interest rate and save you thousands of dollars in interest paid over the life of the loan.
The Five Factors of Your Credit Score
Raising Your Credit Score
The best score to have is 720 or above - you are viewed as a safe risk and typically will receive a loan with a lower interest rate. If your score is below 720, you may want to try to raise it.
Making payments on time, lowering your credit card balances, keeping older accounts open, and using discretion when applying for new credit will all help to increase your score.

Muku overalls - my take on Shibori.
Added Jun 12, 2012
by supercalla
Austin, United S...
Summer summer summer and Kerrville Folk festival mean comfy comfy clothes. When I found Muku I loved all of their simple kids clothes, and after also marveling after overalls for a bit, I decided to make some of Muku's.
Ive also been getting into embellishing. This is mostly bleaching, dying, and embroidery. Ive always wanted to do Shibori so on this I practiced Kumo, wrapping the fabric over found objects. I used 180 found objects, mostly rocks from the end of my driveway, but also some shells found in the cupboard.
The dye was just Rit wet dye in Navy, but I guess my lack of sufficient shaking of the bottle led it to be purple. The color makes them a little more ridiculous than they are anyway, but Ill still be wearing them until it bothers me. Which may very well be soon xD
If made of wool or something, this could be good fall wear, seeing as it was supposed to be fall in the first place. Just wear a long sleeve top under it, and perhaps dye it a better color if thats whatcha doing with it.
Cheers :D

CURRITUCK COUNTY, NC -- A newly formed group of Tea Party supporters is protesting a plan between Currituck County, NC, and the YMCA of South Hampton Roads to share construction costs for a new community recreation center.
In November 2009, the Currituck County Board of Commissioners entered a 30-year lease agreement with the YMCA in which the Y will lease part of a 50,000-square-foot community center. Construction on the center, which will be near Maple, NC, is expected to begin in December 2010.
But Charles Carter, founder of the Currituck Tea Party Patriots, called the agreement "one-sided," and voiced concern about taxpayers taking on the brunt of operating costs for the center if the YMCA backs out of the deal in the future.
County commissioners reportedly approved $11.5 million for the new center's construction, which would have cost $24 million if the county designed and built the facility on its own, said Dan Scanlon, county manager. The population is not sizable enough in that area to support a community center on its own, commissioners noted.

Feeling guilty
I felt guilty this morning because I should have done my homework earlier. But I did it this afternoon, so now I don't feel guilty anymore.
Is the pizza here yet?

Life is easy when you don't have a conscience. Such as myself, never feeling guilty about anything, however people think of you as arrogant.
It's foolish to fear what we've yet to see and know. ~Itachi Uchiha
i used to feel guilty about everything and i hated it, so i gave up on guilt, you cant change the past, there is reason to think about it any longer than you have to.
Just living life
If you feel prolonged guilt for no reason, I would highly suggest visiting your local mental health specialist; Guilt is a very common trait of depression.
Read Umineko
Being happy isn't a bad thing. You don't have to think you deserve it - but accept it when it's there. Work to be the change you want to see in the world, as the saying goes.. other than that, life is to live. Enjoy.
(Says this much older man than you, OP)
Not me! I rarely feel guilty, even though I have a bad personality and loose morals. I'll take responsibility for problems (even if I didn't cause them), but my emotional investment is practically zero.
I'm a really happy person and very satisfied with my life.
The same thing we do every night, Pinky...
If you think you don't deserve something or whatever, look outside yourself and look at all the terrible people out there that don't deserve the good things they have, or even how they don't deserve the good things that may be of your doing. The ones not feeling guilty can do so because they have an understanding of the unspoken forgiveness, where upon even if all of us terrible people should pay for our mistakes, the rain keeps falling, the stores keep stocking food for us to buy and eat, our homes still provide us with warmth.
Very often those who feel guilty are the most adamant about not forgiving themselves. So while it's true, you many have wronged someone who will not forgive you, there are billions out there who don't hold it against you. Another thing to do if the feelings of guilt have to do with someone is to find a peaceable way to communicate your feelings and listen to theirs. A true compromise is an agreement that both sides can accept and uphold, and should be the goal.
Of course, this is just my opinion.
For all you know, I could be the type of person to steal your wallet, cut up all your cards, then give it back after claiming to have 'found' it.
Wouldn't even feel guilty either.
Guilt is a rather useless emotion, doesn't help anyone least yourself. As for the not feeling deserving, really no one 'deserves' anymore than what they get and by any such means they use to get stuff; comes down to whether or not you feel comfortable with how you attained said stuff.
Errant thoughts for days...
I feel guilt over everything even sometimes when I do good things, and I pretty much hate every single thing about myself. I know to some degree that I shouldn't but it only ever seems to get worse. So you're not alone if that's any comfort to you.
i'd feel guilty one moment and then i'll have a cookie. and then it's gone.
my boyfriend gives me flowers every week, ever since new year started. i feel as if i dont deserve it because i have never done anything special for him, except maybe bake him some cookies and cupcakes and make him cards on random occasions...
It's been a while since i last went online :\

Then again, is this just me being an old man (at 18).
Sorry for the weird question, just want to know if anyone feels anything similar.
You are not the only one that feels that way my friend. I feel guilty about most of the things that I do, second guessing myself is what kinda makes me me. Although, I give you praise because you are actually asking if others feel the same way that you do. I hardly ever let anyone know what is going on in my life, I feel gulity about doing that because I see it as me putting a burden on someone else.
The irony is that I will help other people before I help myself. The people who know me know that I am a great person to help them with their problems. Hell I have helped complete strangers with their problems. Personal insecurities are universal.
Life is too short to feel so guilty, LEARN from your mistakes and move on.

Divorce is only one area where the law intersects with your family and the people who are closest to you. Family law also governs your relationship with your children — who can make decisions for your children and who will take care of them. Family law governs how a person should financially support their children. Family law also governs how one goes about adopting a child and legally becoming a parent.
When a family situation becomes truly tragic, there are laws governing a response to domestic violence. Whenever your personal family issues encounter the law, it's important to have an experienced attorney guiding you through these difficult and complicated legal matters.
At Ciccarelli Law Offices, we are dedicated to helping our clients find resolution to their family law concerns, whether it's a divorce, the resulting matters pertaining to custody and support for children, an adoption, domestic violence, a change or name or anything else related to family law.

Lee Ciccarelli, founder and managing partner of Ciccarelli Law Offices, has been practicing for more than 20 years, and is a well-known name in the Chester County legal community. Lee Ciccarelli has a wide range of experience in the courtroom, and understands the needs of clients who have complex family law issues.
When two people get married, they hope marriage dissolution will never be a part of the picture. Sadly, reality often dictates otherwise. Sometimes, one of the spouses does something so awful that the other spouse simply cannot go on as a couple. Everyone changes over the course of life, and, sometimes, people change so much they're no longer the same person they were when they married. When a marriage no longer functions and the people in the marriage wish to move on with their lives, it's time to consider divorce.
Even when the process is amicable, it's a frightening ordeal to face. You have built a life with your spouse, and a divorce in Pennsylvania means unraveling that life. There are many ways to approach this including: no-fault, at-fault, collaborative, seeking mediation or litigating. It can be a significant challenge to choose which one is right for you.
Our experienced West Chester family attorneys will look at your circumstances and your goals, and advise you on what path is a best fit for you. We'll take a hard, objection look at you situation and be frank and forthcoming with our analysis. We will always be honest with you.
A marriage may end, but there still remains the custody and care of children. For custody decisions, there is the issue of who gets legal and physical custody, and whether that custody will be shared, sole, primary, partial or supervised. Legal custody is the right to make decisions for the child, including decisions about medical issues, education, and religious upbringing. Physical custody means actual physical control of the child. As a parent, both are tremendously important and we can help.
It costs a great deal to raise a child. In Pennsylvania, the non-custodial parent may be required to pay a certain amount monthly as child support. A family lawyer in Chester County from our firm can represent your interests, whether you are the custodial parent seeking to be fairly compensated for the expenses of raising a child, the non-custodial parent who has fallen on hard times and needs a modification of a child support order, or any other child support situation.
Not all family law matters are tied to divorce and division. When you wish to bring a child into your life, you may adopt. However, adoption law in Pennsylvania is a complicated legal procedure, regardless of the circumstances under which you are adopting or the methods you are using. An adoption lawyer at Ciccarelli Law Offices can guide you through this process and help your family make this important step.
We are pleased to be able to help you with any other family law matter, whether you are seeking protection from domestic violence, need a legal change of name, have a guardianship issue or anything else. We are knowledgeable attorneys able to serve a broad range of clients.

The Astros had the lead twice, but various pitchers couldn't hold on to it, and the Astros drop to 0-7 in extra-inning games with an 8-7 loss to San Diego.
*It marks the 3rd loss of the season when the Astros have scored 7+ runs (15-3).
*The Astros were 3x13 w/RISP, and the 13 LOBsters tie a season-high.
*Wandy threw 6.2IP, 8H/5ER, 6K:0BB - breaking a streak of three starts where Wandy allowed more than 3ER. It's just the 2nd time all season Wandy allowed 5+ earned runs.
*Wandy's 6Ks were the highest since he struck out seven Pirates on May 13.
*Fernando Rodriguez managed to go two outings in between giving up an earned run. He allowed a 2-run, go-ahead homer in the 8th inning to Jesus Guzman - a guy who had hit 6HR in 474 plate appearances, and had one homer away from Petco in his career.
*Brett Myers threw the 9th inning without incident, and Brandon Lyon got Cameron Maybin, walked Chase Headley (who then stole 2nd successfully), and Carlos Quentin doubled him home for the go-ahead run in the 10th inning.
*Headley's SB was the second of the game, meaning that runners have successfully stolen 38 bases against Castro, getting caught just eight times (82.6% success rate). Only Nick Hundley and Rod Barajas have allowed more stolen bases than Castro.
*Brian Bixler led off the game with a homer - the second of his career - and the 3rd time the Astros have begun the game with a homerun. Bixler was 2x5 with a double (HR, of course), walk, and three runs scored.
*In 37 June plate appearances, Bixler has twelve hits - seven of them for extra-bases.
*Carlos Lee also joined the homer parade for the 5th time this season. It was his first homerun since May 19 - a span of 83 Plate Appearances.
*It was the 18th multi-HR game of the season for the Astros, and they're 14-4 when they hit 2+ homers in a game.
*Jason Castro hit his 2nd homer of the season - a game-tying shot with two outs in the bottom of the 8th. It was his 4th career homer, and the first that (a) tied the game and (b) came after the 3rd inning. Three of his four career homeruns have been at Minute Maid Park.
*J.D. Martinez was 2x4 with a walk and 2RBI, giving him three multi-hit games in his last seven games, and three straight 2RBI games.
*Chris Johnson was 2x5 with a walk. In the last week, Johnson is hitting .480 (12x25). It's his fourth straight multi-hit game, and fifth in his last six. He has a six-game hitting streak.
*Jordan Schafer was 1x3 with a walk, stolen base, and a strikeout. Yeah, Schafer has at least 1K in 13 of his 15 starts in June, but he also has five walks in his last seven games. He had 17 walks in his first 55 games of the season.
*Man of the Match: Meh. Who knows? How about Brian Bixler?
*Goat of the Game: Anyone not named Brett Myers who threw a ball at Jason Castro.

Why is F-Rod STILL our go to late inning guy? He's so awful it's like the Astros are trying to lose by putting him in. He really just needs to be sent down or cut. There are no excuses left for keeping his worthless hide on the roster.

Apparently, it is a fairly impervious substance. It will impart only a minimum of salt to the food. The key property of the slab is that it will retain for a long time whatever temperature you bring it to. So, if you stick it in the freezer for a few hours, you can then plate ice cream or sushi or any cold food on it. If you warm it up over the grill, it is a cooking stone on which you can fry or dry saute food. It's a pizza stone with a really good back-story?
Anyway, there are lots of videos on YouTube that show cooks using it. There is also a decent account of it here: http://www.saltnews.com/cooking-with-himalayan-salt-plates-blocks-bricks-platters/
