Pictures From the Week in Business

Fewer Are Losing Their Jobs
The rate of layoffs and discharges has fallen to the lowest level since the government began calculating the figure at the end of 2000, dropping below the level seen in the fall of 2006, before the Great Recession began. More people are leaving their jobs voluntarily and more are also being hired than during the recession, but those rates remain well below the previous peaks. Rates of firings and layoffs are highest in the construction industry, and lowest in government jobs.

Natracare Organic 100% Cotton Tampons Super - 20 Packs
Natracare tampons were developed as a direct response to health and environmental concerns about dioxin pollution caused by chlorine bleaching, the extensive use of pesticide spraying on conventionally grown cotton, and the use of rayon and other synthetics in tampons. Many women are unaware that rayon and rayon-cotton blends are widely used in the manufacture of tampons. Rayon is commonly chlorine-bleached, and is a highly absorbent fibre. Dioxin, a toxic carcinogen, is a by-product of all chlorine bleaching methods and is also found throughout the environment in varying levels as a by-product of pesticide spraying and pollution from incinerators. Dioxin has been found to collect in the fatty tissues of animals, including humans and should, therefore, be a real concern for women. Published scientific reports have shown that evidence is growing that even low levels of dioxins may be linked to cancer, endometriosis, low sperm counts and immune system suppression. Considering a woman may use as many as 11,000 tampons in her lifetime, she may be subjecting herself to additional dioxin exposure.Natracare tampons are made from only certified organic 100% cotton and are the only fully certified organic cotton tampons available in the world today. They are non-chlorine bleached and women can be reassured that they do not contain synthetic materials, such as rayon, or chemical additives such as binders or surfactants. Certified organic cotton removes the risk of direct exposure to residues from chemical pesticides and fertilisers used on traditional cotton.

Most of my outdoor experience comes from things in the Midwest. On our recent family trip to California we spent considerable time at Moonlight Beach in Encanitas, just north of San Diego. Signs at the lifeguard towers warned us of "jellyfish" in the surf. These weren't the deadly variety, but certainly could give one some pain if you came in contact with them. My daughter Katie and I walked north along the beach away from the crowds looking for washed up Jellies. In this photo you can see some along the barren beach. I don't know much about these animals but I do know that Jellies are carnivorous, feeding on plankton, crustaceans, fish eggs, small fish and other jellyfish, ingesting and voiding through the same hole in the middle of the bell. And most Jellyfish inhabit saltwater habitats like the oceans, but some varieties can live in freshwater. Does that mean they'll be coming to the Mississippi or Missouri River's soon?

So in case you work a normal job and weren't watching and betting on a Uruguay/Italy World Cup match at 1pm on weekday yesterday, this Luis Suarez guy stole the show by biting an Italian (or EATalian as it were amiright? we have fun here) player in the second half. Now don't get me wrong, biting a dude is not normal behavior, but Bob Ley and the rest of the ESPN soccer crew were siting around on the ESPN set in Brazil for hours on end acting like they were reporting on a plane crash or something. Yeah a guy got bit and ended up with a minor abrasion big deal. Marv Albert once bit a prostitute while dressed in women's underwear*. Mike Tyson literally bit a chunk of Evander Holyfield's ear off like he was a chocolate bunny. And as recently as May of this year Dodger catcher Miguel Olivo bit part of the ear off of his own teammate. So as crazy as it sounds this isn't even the biggest biting story of the calendar year.
And the more coverage this received the more it became apparent that this is sort of his thing. Like this is the THIRD time he's bitten someone in international competition! Three times! His nickname is the Cannibal for goodness sakes. What do you expect a guy to do when he gets a nickname like that? When Reggie Jackson got the nickname 'Mr. October' he lived up to it by getting clutch hits in playoff games. When Brian Wilson started being called 'The Beard' he grew the most outrageous chin sweater of all time. And when Luis Suarez became known as The Cannibal he just starting biting people left and right. This is is calling card. It's like when the Wet Bandits flooded bathrooms after they robbed people. Not to mention if everyone in the soccer community was so outraged why didn't he get a lifetime ban after bite #2? You know how the old saying goes, bite me once shame on you, bite me twice shame on me, bite me three times you sneaky like being bit.
*Really read that again. I'm not sure anyone has ever navigated a PR disaster like that with more aplomb than Marv. I know it's not the same thing but Ryan Braun could have learned a lesson there. Marv just owned up to it, went on timeout for 6 months and was back broadcasting NBA Finals games the following year like nothing happened. Just goes to show you that if you are supremely talented at what you do you can overcome biting a woman on the back. Pretty sure that's the lesson there.
PS: I guess there were Sportsbooks that openly had prop bets on whether or not Suarez would bite somebody in the World Cup and not only did 176 people cash in on it but it paid 175 to 1. That's how known he is for this behavior.
Double PS: Suarez absolutely put his entire life's savings on that bet didn't he?

Hi girls!!! Sorry I've been away so long, but I'm so wrapped up in my new life as mommy to my precious baby boy!! Jace is getting so big and he is still adorable. He has terrible gas and reflux, so feeding and burping time is demanding. He's often hard to go down because of the gas, but we do use the generic Mylicon drops and massage the bubbles. He also takes prescription medication for the reflux. So we have some spit ups, but no longer half of the contents he took in. We are no longer Breastfeeding. He's on a soy formula that seems to agree with him. At his 2 week appt he was almost at his birth weight of 7 lbs 4 oz ( he was actually 7 lbs 2 oz) and 2 weeks later he was 9 lbs 5 oz. Now that he's on straight formula I'm guessing in the past week he's gained another pound! I will post pictures whenever I get a chance to get on the computer.
Right now I'm at my 6 week check up. My best friend is home with my kids.
Michelle - you are so close to becoming a mommy!!! How are you feeling about the end of your pregnancy? I miss rubbing my belly, but I'm glad to have him here and in my arms!!

So sorry Cait Praying for you!!
So sorry Cait Praying for you!!
So, pretty sure we'll be doing a IUI now regardless of the number of follies I have. We tried to DTD the last night but DH couldn't perform. I know they want us to wait 3 days before IUI with no BDing, but we haven't since Monday because of my HSG. DH always has great numbers with just two days of abstinence before IUIs, so I'm wondering if we should try again today if the IUI is on Monday to clear out his pipes so to speak (lol).
Praying for direction for you Jen! Either way lots and lots of coming your way!!!!
Still waiting for cd1 here. I'm redoing my bedroom to keep my body and mind occupied. The painting is done and dh is building a shelf for over/behind the bed with hidden reading lights underneath...he's doing recessed shelves in our room too...cannot wait to see it all when it's done . I'm still in search of curtains...they're so ridiculously expensive and our windows are really big. I'm going to hit the 2nd hand stores in the area next week to see what I can find.
We have quite a few here and there projects around the house this summer. Carpet for the living room and hallway is the biggie but it'll be sooooo nice to not have plush cream-colored carpet anymore!! Tiling our bathroom isn't a huge project but tiling is always laborious in a bathroom. Those are the two I'm looking most forward to .
Anyone else have ongoing or planned projects/renos?
My bathroom is on the list, I got some tile to create a "framed" mirror. And I want to paint...
We're doing a full house remodel over here! We have been gutting and removing since we moved in almost 2 years ago. The past 6 months or so we started rebuilding. We've been putting in the floors for the past 3 weeks. It's exhausting! I wish I could post pics from my phone.
Mel (39) DH (37) Finally, a baby boy after 12 months of TTC!

Natalie... did you see that on pinterest? I saw something like that on there but can't do it to mine because we have those stupid hooks that hold it up and get in the way! How are you doing yours?
So I had kind of a good day, started wonderful with DH and I touring a vet clinic for our dogs and two boarding facilities for when we go on our vacation then we went shopping in a cute little town. We kind of threw together a mother's day lunch for our mothers last night and I thought we were in an understanding for today at 1 to drive an hour north to bring both mothers together and I called my mom and told her we were on our way and she freaked out saying I never told her! So she ruined the whole thing, refused to let us come up so we didn't, ended up just going with his mother who was not really wanting me to go cuz we wanted to just go with her son, which we found out after lunch. So that was a bust, I cried a lot and felt hurt and unwanted but DH was very sweet and clingy. Don't tell me doc but we snuck in a little BD today. My doc said not for 2wks which it will be 2wks on tuesday and it was quick lol being he hadn't been 'active' for almost 2wks when we were DTD every day for 2wks before the surgery. Didn't go crazy or anything and I've had no issues so I think it's okay. Then we decided to take our dogs for a walk down a dirt road and ran into some cousins of his and chatted for a bit, felt good to get out and be with people. Took a 2hr walk and came home and we decided to try the salmon fillets we bought, which he didn't like salmon and I've never cooked it and really didn't like it either. But I attempted it, they were plain fillets, not seasoned at all so I seasoned them with some stuff we had and cooked them with butter in a pan and WOW! it was awesome! Two thumbs up from DH and he loved it so much he was tempted to make me cook him another fillet! Plus, it was only a 90 calorie meal paired with my green beans! Wonderful, wonderful meal! EEK! I am so excited that he liked it so much and I loved it as well!
Oh and I've lost 2lbs and I've kept it off for 3 days so far, OH and I had noticed this morning I had a lot of EWCM but with PCOS I have it alot anyway but then I had some weird pain and twinges on my right side for a few hours this afternoon, about 2 hrs before DH and I DTD so I doubt it but I wonder if I could have O'd now after having the ovarian drilling, it's been 12days since my surgery so IDK! But I will temp tomorrow morning and see what happens, not getting my hopes up but it has me curious. It would be nice but again I doubt it!

Kay--Yeah pinterest!! I just got some ceramic tiles of different shapes and colors to match my theme (beachy colors). I think the only reason I haven't started sticking them on is I'm afraid they're going to fall off before the adhesive does its thing. =/
Cait--sound likes your day ended well
ASM--CD 21 and no temp rise. I'm back to thinking this will be an anovulatory cycle.
As far as remodeling goes my DH built be a porch this weekend! aand has been reroofing our house! And little by little we are doing other things to it
That's some skills, I'm impressed!
Natalie...I'd love to see your mirror when it's finished!!
Melissa...post pics if you can! My dh is quite the handyman and has always wanted to buy a house to remodel . We moved 2.5hrs away from friends/family a little over a year ago and our house up north just sold on land contract so we're considering purchasing a small fixer-upper vacay home up there on the water so we'll have a place to stay (and dh will have something to do) when we go up.
Cait...ack, I'm so sorry about your mom and mil...eesh, some people are just hard to please ! My dad always told me "Kel, you can't make people happy, you just have to be happy yourself"...so true, can't make people happy but I can choose to be happy whether they're happy or not . I'm so glad your day ended well...your dinner sounds amazing (I love salmon!!)! Yay for bd...sometimes you just have to ! Great job on the weight loss and keeping it off that's fantastic Cait !!! I hope it just keeps melting off for you...you're working so hard and that's going to pay off!
Kaylie...how awesome!!!! for a new porch...I love porches! We lived in a 100+yr old home about 15yrs ago and it had a beautiful porch...I miss it! A new roof too...wow, those are big projects!!! I love home improvements though...always nice to have things done .
Afm...my temp dropped from 98.49 yesterday to 97.91 today (coverline temp is 97.85) so I think cd1 is right around the corner...I'll get my ff ticker/link back up then. Looking forward to getting through this cycle so I can do cd3 testing next month. We have a lot of plans this month so hopefully it'll go by quickly .
Natalie- I wanna see that mirror too! I am trying to be creative but it ends up a disaster
Kelly - I am so glad things are moving along for you, you are so strong! Some testing is great though because you can get answers and find problems AND solutions!
Kaylie - I wish I had a porch, always grew up in the country with a back porch and swing, always had my breakfast out there and watched the sunrise, makes your day seem so much less stressful!
AFM; I have lost another pound! I started out 2wks ago at 189 and I am down to 186! I am so pumped! Then DH told me last night he had a surprise for me for our anniversary. He called the cruiseline we took for our honeymoon and found out what kind of wine we had fallen in love with so much, got the name and went to all the liquor stores in the area, no one had it, so he went online and found it!! He bought 2 bottles of wine for our anniversary trip! Love that man!

Awwww what a guy you've got...that is so incredibly sweet !! I can't wait for you both to get away together and have an awesome time on your anniv vacay ! Seems like you haven't had much time to really connect through everything you've been through the last couple of months...the timing seems to be just perfect !
Natalie- sorry :-/ hugs
Kelly- praying for you guys. So sorry :-(
Remodeling here-
We've been remodeling our basement. We now need to finish the painting and find another vanity cupboard for the bathroom sink down there. Actually really excited to get some more housework done. There's a possibility of a move closer to my family and the realtor just contacted me with some good numbers for our house. Woo!
Also, upgraded ff for fun. :-). Haven't done that in a while and it's fun to mess around with the numbers.
Just realized that according to ff i Oed on the 3rd, but my CP is still high, does this mean I haven't populated yet (which would mean i have a super short LP )? Or is it supposed to be that way?
Kaylie- That sounds incredible, what a big project! I would love to have a porch. Sorry you had to come back to the ttc room
Natalie- Still hoping you have a late O this cycle And your project sounds pretty cool, I can't wait to start doing something creative around here!
Cait- The salmon sounds delish. Nice work on the weight loss
Kelly- I hope things move a long for you quickly and you get some answers, we're here for you
Ebennet- I think I'll finally upgrade my FF account, you just sealed the deal on that for me.
Gator- Good luck tomorrow
AFM- The bleeding finally stopped (I hope). That was awful, physically and emotionally. I'm really looking forward to putting this behind me and looking positively towards the future. I had a dream last night that dh and I had a baby boy, he was about 6 months old in the dream. I've never had a dream like that before
I will post pics of my reno at some point! My pics are on my phone, but I can't post them from my phone... why does it seem like hard work
Mel (39) DH (37) Finally, a baby boy after 12 months of TTC!

Ember-- CP can be a really subtle thing, unless you're really used to checking it and can feel really confident saying that it's high, I wouldn't worry too much. Did you notice a shift in CM? That would be a more decisive sign. I know all this stuff can be a lot to get a hang of, but I'm sure you'll be a pro in no time!
EBennett...I'm thinking about upgrading again too
Ember...my cp stays between high and high-med throughout my LP (whether I take progesterone or not).
Melissa...sooo glad the bleeding has stopped !!! Your dream is precious...praying, praying, praying it becomes a reality very soon ! !!!
Jen ...thinking of you and praying tomorrow goes perfectly !!!!!!
afm...had a great day at DS's baseball family picnic! It's been years since I've played baseball and it was so fun!! It was really nice to get out of the house and focus on something rather than waiting around for cd1 to arrive. Next weekend my dd (she's almost 17yrs) is treating me to a celtic harp concert for Mother's Day !
Oh I've been keeping track of my CP for a while so, I know the ins and outs of it (hehe). it's just occurred to me that it it's usually high for a while after I O. My cm is always all over the place and I don't seem to get like ewcm except close to af, although out usually shifts to watery when when my cp is high.
Question: Totally off topic but my hair is driving me INSANE! I think it's the PCOS but it's getting more and more oily. It's now horrible, I don't even want to touch my own hair. it's heavy and greasy and so disgusting. I tried all sorts of shampoo, got rid of conditioner completely and now I don't even eat greasy foods. Anyone have an ideas? What do I do? lol

Hi ladies,
Sorry, I haven't had a chance to post yet today. Sundays are always crazy, especially now that it seems like we spend most Sunday afternoons at open homes. Went in for a follie check this AM. I have one follie at 19mm on the left. They didn't trigger today though. Their new protocol is triggering at 20mm if there is no surge (18mm if there is a surge). Since I had no surge, I have to go back in tomorrow morning for my HCG trigger. This lead to a serious discussion between DH and I. If the follie had been on the right, I would have felt better about timed intercourse, but because it is on the left, I pushed for the IUI. My cervix tilts a certain way and I seem to only get PG with a certain position. Plus, my EWCM is not super abundant right now (sorry TMI). I also felt we needed to do the IUI since it will end up being on Tuesday. Tuesday would have been my due date with our LO we lost last fall. How fitting that we could potentially conceive on the day our angel baby was supposed to arrive!

huh I never thought of baby powder, doesn't it make your hair go white tho? I have to wash it everyday because it doesn't get dried out it just gets oily. I can feel the greasy feel when I am blow drying it, to the point where it never feels dry and always feels damp and it's the grease. I switched from Suave Damage Care to Clean and Clear's Total Care on Thursday and my hair just got worse so I went back to damage care and took another shower tonight using that and it feels better but is still greasy. Ugh! Its so gross! I will check out the dry shampoo too and see what that is like

Sorry I have been MIA. I am just wishing my period would start. I just want to move on to next cycle. I have an appt Wednesday so hopefully if AF hasn't shown they will give me provera.
Cait - I also have greasy hair/face. I hate it!!!
Cait...I have the opposite problem so I'm no help at all but I sure hope you're able to find a solution! That would drive me crazy too !!!
Jen... thinking of you tomorrow...what amazing timing !!
Jessie...Ugh, I'm so sorry you're still waiting around for af !! I hope she shows by Wed and if not that your dr will be willing to prescribe provera . Have you had to do provera before to get your cycle to start?
Afm...cd1 has arrived. I'm hoping to spend the day grocery shopping and outdoors . All of the hostas I transplanted last year survived !!! I have a lot to do outside though...the former home-owners tried to do some landscaping but the soil is so bad not much came up. I'm excited to get started on it.
Dh is taking a work trip to Atlanta, GA in a week. I was going to go but decided as nice as a vacay with Dh would be I'd prefer to put the money towards our home-improvement projects than a plane ticket and food . We're hoping to do something big for our 20th anniv in 2yrs...not sure what yet but hoping it involves Northern Cali and the Oregon coast...I've always wanted to see the Pacific side of the states. I guess I could settle for a European tour too . Dh has been to Europe many times for work but I've never been out of the country, lol, not even to Canada (we live in MI ).
Anyway, I'm rambling...what plans does everyone have for the day?
What plans do I have for the day? Getting a freaking root canal, bright and early this morning, is what I HAD to do today. I've been battling a toothache for a week and a half. I finished up my antibiotics and celebrated with the root canal. Oh joy. Thankfully, I have a wonderful dentist that is SOOOOO gentle. I never felt a thing. Thank God! I hope everyone else has a better day than I've had. I'm glad I got it done before I got my BFP. It scares me to have dental work done while pg.
Cait--Do some looking around the web about oily hair and shampoo--it really makes you hair worse. I used to have super bad greasy hair and I wash it now only 2-3x a week if that, usually not 3 times.
Kelly, I live about an hour from Atlanta! Although technically with the traffic, 10 miles can take an hour sometimes...but that's a different story.
Jessie-- AF come son her own and soon!
babypayne--ouch! I hope you'll feel better soon!
ASM--I'm feeling "over it" right now. It's a combination of things but I just knew this month was going to be weird right from the beginning. I seem to feel different or have a different experience every month, which is something I didn't expect and don't particularly like. One month I was super depressed, then I was really happy, then I didn't care at all, then I was "normal" but also very convinced I was pg. I'd just like two cycles that are the same back to back (emotionally and physically). Is that so much to ask for?
Cindy...ugh ugh ugh !! I'm so sorry you had to spend your morning getting a root canal !
Natalie... !!! I know everyone probably says it but I would really recommend vag temping and definitely switch to a bbt that goes to the hundredths...those flat temps can be sooooo discouraging !! I know it won't help make your cycles more consistent but maybe your chart would be less up and down?? I'm so sorry this cycle isn't looking good for you...makes my heart ache !

Product Information Menu
All cells in our bodies contain tiny organelles called mitochondria that function to produce cellular energy by means of the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) cycle. The number of mitochondria in a cell varies widely by organism and by tissue type. A human cell can have from a few to several thousand mitochondria.
One of the most serious events that cause the loss of cellular vitality is the depletion of mitochondrial energy-producing function. Cells require healthy mitochondrial activity to perform life-sustaining metabolic processes. As mitochondrial function weakens in our cells, so does the vitality of organs such as the heart and brain or in some cases, the entire body.1-6
In order for the mitochondria to create the energy needed to sustain cellular function, fatty acids (which serve as the mitochondria's fuel) must be transported through the cell membrane and into the mitochondria.7-9
Life Extension members now have access to a state-of-the-art nutritional formula called Mitochondrial Energy Optimizer with BioPQQ® that not only protects delicate cellular structures and enables cells to perform life-sustaining metabolic processes . . . it also helps generate new mitochondria. This formula is designed to counteract age-related structural and functional changes and promote biogenesis with these unique ingredients:
Taking all of these ingredients separately would be prohibitively expensive. Life Extension members can benefit from all of them in this one cost-effective, comprehensive formulation to promote mitochondrial structure, function and formation.

Since I do not have a laboratory I can only assume that the product is of value. Since this product advertises Mitochondrial Energy Optimizer , you will have to tell me how to track this in order for me to write a review.

Premere Anti-aging Longevity Formula
By ProfessorMitch
from Miami, FL
Life depends on energy. Cells produce energy in the Mitochondria. Without energy cells die and people die. You cannot get energy from fat without healthy functioning Mitochondria. All cellular processes require energy. I could go on, get the picture. You need this stuff.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I take this product on an empty stomach.
By Maria the optimist
from Jackson Heights, New York
I take it before my breakfast on an empty stomach. I find that since I started to take it my hypoglycemia has improved considerably. I can go for a longer period of time without having to have a snack whereas before I started to take it I would have to eat again right after my breakfast.My only complaint is the price. It is very expensive.Maria Byrne

A life saver!
By selwyn mungo
from Auckland, New Zealand
After using coconut oil to correct obvious major memory and general life skill issues a gap still remained between where I was mentally and where I used to be. After ten minutes of taking two caps of this product my mind snapped back to where I never, ever thought I'd get back to again. Miraculous. Not a day goes by when I don't mentally get on my knees and thank those responsible for this formulation. Thank you. Thank you.

An ongoing feud between University of South Carolina Head Football Coach Steve Spurrier and a sports columnist for a local newspaper has surfaced again and this time it appears the head ball coach has reached his wit's end threatening to "head to the beach" if the negative reporting continues.
On Thursday night's call-in show on 107.5 The Game, Spurrier hinted that changes could be happening at The State. That's where Ron Morris works -- a columnist who has chosen to lob criticism at the head ball coach more than a few times the past few years.
The feud first made the rounds nationally in October of 2011 when Spurrier publicly excluded Morris from one of his weekly press conferences. The reason, Spurrier explained, was that Morris, whom he never referred to by name, had stepped over the line when he wrote a "completely fabricated" story during the spring which suggested Spurrier "poached" Bruce Ellington from the basketball team.
Morris, in another article, was also critical of how Spurrier and the coaching staff handled the game plan when the Gamecocks lost to Auburn in 2011.
"The criticism he shows me is fine, I don't mind that," said Spurrier on October 14, 2011, as he was pacing back and forth in front of the media. "I'm just not okay with stories that aren't true."
Morris did not publicly respond, and continued to write both positively and negatively about Spurrier and the Gamecocks.
Morris' so-called latest fuel to the fire was a column he wrote questioning Spurrier's decision to start quarterback Connor Shaw against UAB. Shaw, who sat out the East Carolina game a week prior, was knocked out of the game when he re-aggravated a shoulder injury.
"My guess also is that, because of Spurrier's poor decision to play Shaw against UAB, USC will be dealing with the quarterback's sore shoulder for most of the remainder of the season," wrote Morris.
After the Gamecocks win over Missouri and Shaw's record-setting performance, Spurrier took to the microphone and gave his assessment of the game, but then refused to take reporter questions. He did the same on Sunday during his conference call with the media, hanging up after his statement.
The reason Spurrier seemingly punished all of the media on Saturday night and Sunday, according to SEC blog Saturday Down South, is because of Morris' continued criticism.
Then on Tuesday during Bill King's XM radio show, Morris, when speculating whether or not Spurrier would take questions during his weekly press conference later that day, said, "This is a real test for the administration. This is how things like Penn State happen when the administration won't step up and confront the football coach and he becomes all-powerful. When the football coach begins to dictate company policy, I think you're asking for trouble."
On Wednesday, Morris, who had recently written a piece for the paper's celebration of Spurrier's 200th win, responded to Spurrier's weekend move with a column of his own, explaining, "I'm just a sports columnist doing my job."
Morris also apologized for his comment linking USC to Penn State on Tuesday's radio show.
"My comment on radio that connected USC's public-relations issue with the Penn State scandal was only to suggest that college administrators have to be on high alert when it comes to coaches exerting too much influence over athletics department and university policy," wrote Morris. "That clearly was the case at Penn State. In hindsight, any link to what happened at Penn State was inappropriate, and I apologize."
Unprovoked during Thursday night's radio show, the head ball coach responded with a pretty strong statement of his own. He made it clear that he didn't have to put up with Morris' criticism and would rather "head to the beach."
He said he told his wife the other day that he had enough and he thinks things are going to change at the newspaper. Spurrier said that Ray Tanner and Harris Pastides are backing him, but did not outline the specific changes that may happen.
"A columnist is an opinion writer versus a beat writer who's writing fact," said radio host Brent Johnson. "But if you're going to have an opinion and make an accusation that involves the health of a player, then you better have something to back that up."
Here's a complete transcript of Spurrier's comments Thursday night:
About 12 minutes into the show, Spurrier stops taking questions and speaks.
"Let me say a little bit right now. Carole, Hold all the ads there a little bit."
"This has been an interesting week for the University of South Carolina, for me and so forth.
As all of us know, one of the local writers wrote another nasty article, last week actually. Very negative, critical toward me. slandered my name, my integrity. The guy's trying to tarnish and ruin my reputation as a coach. And that's okay. I don't dislike this guy. I really don't. 'Cause we all know who the guy is and that's the kind of person he is."
"I have a problem that we give a platform to voice his slander toward me. But, I think, I think, some change is coming. Todd (Todd Ellis is the host of Spurrier's weekly Carolina Calls radio show), I really do."
"And I told my wife the other day, after the last article, I said 'I've had it, I've had enough and I'm not going to take it anymore. I've had enough.'"
"All the Gamecocks say, 'coach don't pay any attention to him. He's insignificant,' which he is. He's not an important person."
"But, they're not having their name, and reputation slandered. So I'm the one and that's not my mode of operation to say 'don't say anything about it.'"
"So, I get a voice here. This is my voice here. He gets his voice in the newspaper, which he uses."
"I don't dislike this guy anymore. I think we need to make some changes and I think some positive changes are going to happen."
"I don't dislike our newspaper people. I really believe The State Newspaper, 98% of 'em, are good people. They're hard workin' and they got good jobs and I'm all for our newspaper, I really am and I hope they're successful."
"They've got a little problem over there that we know about, but they're working on it.
And our president, our athletic director, president Pastides, athletic director Tanner, they're all backing me in this."
"I think historically around here at South Carolina, we're in uncharted waters right now, we're winnin', we're winnin'. It used to be cool to try to bash and trash the head coach, from what I've learned."
"It used to be cool around here, but it's not cool anymore and I don't think that I have to put up with that."
"If Mike McGee (former USC athletics director), when he hired me, he would have said 'Steve, we're gonna give you a chance to run the football program at South Carolina, you hire your coaches, do your thing, but there's one thing you gotta put up with, the local media will try to trash you, they'll try to ruin your reputation, they'll try to portray you as a mean, evil, self-serving person.' And, I would have said, 'well you give that job to somebody else, I'll wait for the North Carolina job to open.' which was opening the next year. But, I'm glad it worked out."
"That is not part of being the head coach at any university, is to be the target of the newspaper to give a guy who obviously has an ax to grind. I'm not that mad at the guy. The guy is who he is, we all know who he is."
"But we need to make some changes and I really believe between President Pastides and the guy that runs the newspaper, that some good changes are coming forth and I encourage the people that canceled their subscriptions last year, when some of this crap started last year, to give the newspaper and our university a chance. I believe that our city is going to be better off."
"The City of Columbia and the University of South Carolina, our newspaper, we're all going to get along better, which is what it's all about and, hopefully, that can come from this week 'cause we've had some serious discussions about things , but basically I said I'm not taking anymore of the stuff that's coming out of our local paper.
"I'm not taking it anymore. If that's part of the job, I can head to the beach. That's not part of the job, so we're going to get it straightened out.
Both have said their disagreements are not personal, but professionally it appears there's no chance the two will end this one anytime soon.
"I'd love to sit down with him and hash it out," Morris told King on Monday. Spurrier, though, made it clear Thursday night that he has more "important" and "significant" people to spend his time with.
Late Friday morning, the ABC television affiliate in Columbia ended its relationship with Morris, who appeared during its 6 p.m. and 11 p.m. newscasts. General Manager Chris Bailey issued the following statement:
I made the decision yesterday, with the input from WOLO News Director Crysty Vaughan, to end our working relationship with Ron Morris. He had been providing a weekly "Mondays With Morris" segment for ABC Columbia News. Mr. Morris was not a full-time employee of the station, but a regular content provider. In light of the recent friction between Ron and other parties, I made the decision to eliminate his weekly segment in our news. This decision was mine alone. I've had no contact with anyone at the University of South Carolina, or any other parties in this matter. For our television station, Mr Morris' work was very different than his role at The State newspaper. His body of work at WOLO was not controversial, and rarely focused on Gamecock sports. It was more celebratory of the world of sports, and mostly light-hearted in nature.
Free speech is often a messy proposition, but vital in our society. I was only recently reminded of that when I traveled to part of the former Soviet Union and saw the broadcast towers formerly used to jam broadcasts from the west. Free speech, while it has expanded to many other areas of our lives, was originally put in place to protect media and writers from government censorship. It does not, however, protect the writer from consequences in the realm of public opinion or the marketplace. As a journalist, there have been times (not in Columbia) when I've stood up to pressures from the marketplace related to news content on my station. This was not one of those times, as the recent controversy had nothing to do with Ron Morris' weekly segment on WOLO.
However, I saw that WOLO might needlessly be drawn into a battle between the State Newspaper and the University, and I want to avoid that situation.
By the way, USC heads to Lexington, Kentucky to take on the Wildcats Saturday at 7 p.m. That game will be on ESPN2.

Because of the scope and severity of last years drought most food analysts had projected that food prices would average 4 1/2% to 6 1/2% higher in 2013. So far that has not happened, at least for most commodities. Now because of demand and the drought induced liquidations we've seen in the beef industry, beef prices have been up this year. However all other commodities have not risen at the rate that had been expected and according to a recent USDA report it looks like food prices may actually run below average inflation level of 3 1/2% this year
Commodity groups hope this news will lead to better retail sales for the last quarter of the year and y will result in stronger producer returns. That coupled with projected lower input costs especially on the feed side could improve producer and grower margin beyond the modest level they have been for the first half of the year.

Fayman Archive Comes to MOPA!
For a Collections Manager, getting a new collection is a bit like Christmas. The anticipation builds each day as you prepare to bring the boxes of items to the museum. Then, you feel the excitement of getting to unpack each one and discover the treasures inside. Finally, a feeling of satisfaction as you survey all of the wonderful things that will soon be housed in the museum's collection. Happily, for those of us in the Curatorial Department, we've gotten to experience all of these emotions over the past few weeks as we inventory MOPA's most recent acquisition: the
The Dubois Library: Books & Technology
I have vivid memories of my elementary school's card catalog, the beautifully polished wood, the shiny brass handles on the drawers, and the mass of white and yellow cards, all heavily marked with pencil and typewriter ink. It all seems so quaint and antique now, and I nostalgically remember the process of finding a library book as such a lovely ritual.

1-Jelly Roll of Civil War
3/4 yard coordinating fabric for chair center
2 1/2 yards coordinating fabric for backing
Cut the 1/4 yard of coordinating fabric into 3-2.5" strips. Set aside.
Open your jelly roll.
To make the front flap piece, pick 9 strips from your jelly roll. Trim to 13" long. Sew them together lengthwise. Press the seams open. Trim so the piece is only 12" long.
Take one of the 2.5" strips of coordinating fabric. Trim to the appropriate length. Stitch on place. Press.
From your batting scraps and your backing fabric, cut pieces that are the same size as the front flap you just made. Layer batting, then backing right side up and pieced section right side down. Pin around the three sides as shown, leaving the top portion without the trim piece unpinned.
Sew around the three pinned sides. Trim the corners and turn the piece right side out. Carefully poke the corners out. Iron the entire piece. Machine quilt as desired. I recommend using a walking foot if your machine has one.
I stitched along each seam as shown.
Trim the edge.
Set the front piece aside.
Making the side pieces that go over the arm of the chair is a very similar process. Chose nine jelly roll strips. Sew them together along the length. Press seams open. Trim off the selvage edge. Add the trim pieces to each end. Cut in half and you will have two pieces as shown.
Finish preparing the arm pieces as you did with the front piece. Set aside.
To make the back piece, select 10 jelly roll strips. Sew them together. Press and square up the edges as you did with the previous piece. Add a trim strip to one edge.
Finish preparing the arm pieces as you did with the previous pieces. Set aside.
Using the coordinating fabric, cut two squares that are 21" x 21". (This was a good measurement for my chair. You may want to adjust the measurement if the cushion on your chair is larger or smaller.) Cut a piece of batting that is 22" x 22".
Lay the batting down. Place one piece of fabric right side up on the batting. Then begin laying the quilted pieces onto the fabric with the right side of each piece facing down and the unfinished edge along the edge of the fabric square. The arm pieces need to go across from each other. The front and back pieces need to be across from each other. Pin in place. You will have to fold arm pieces back as shown in the photo. Continue until all pieces are pinned in place.
Sew all pieces in place using a scant 1/4" seam allowance, being careful not to get one of the pieces caught in the seam. I recommend using a walking foot if your machine has one.
Place the other 21" x 21" piece on top of the project putting the right side down. Pin in place as shown.
Trim corners. Turn right side out.
Carefully poke the corner out. Get the base of the project to lay flat.
Pin the opening shut. Hand stitch it closed.
Machine quilt the center if you desire.
You now have a completed chair cover.
Put it on your chair and enjoy some security, knowing your good furniture won't be ruined...or if you're like our family, put it on your chair and know that your company won't see all the spills and stains you can't get out.
This was a fun project that went together very quickly. It's an easy weekend project that's fun to make and will surely get used. Don't forget to hop on over to my blog, Jo's Country Junction, and check out what I'm working on. I'm always busy with something....and Gracie...she's usually snuggled up in the chair.

text: I am reading the book Just Like Jesus by Max Lucado. It is very thought provoking. There was one story that stood out. It was about a little boy flying on an airplane. Little children are easily excited. He wanted to meet the pilot, the man in charge, the one in control. He wanted to see the one guiding the plane. He wanted an encounter with the pilot. He got his encounter since it was his priority. He was excited and you could see it on his face. However, a few around him got excited, but most just were focused on themselves and the things they wanted. Some were scowling. They brought their mental baggage onto the flight and could not enjoy the ride. They were not focused on the flight.Subscribe to Read!

After sitting overnight, it will be a little more dough like, but you will still need to spoon it on to the parchment and smooth it out with a spoon to get the desired shape.
Alternatively, you can spoon some out in a cast iron heated to medium and cook for 5 minutes on the first side and 2 minutes on the second side.
This week, I will have several of recipe for cultured nut and seeds cheese on the blog along with kicking up Operation Booty Shrink into high gear!

Native Footwear
The brand history of Native Footwear
Damian Van Zyll De Jong founded Native in 2009 with the help of long-time friend Matthew Penner.
Born and raised in Vancouver, BC Damian is the visionary behind the Native brand. When he first came up with the idea all he knew is that he didn't want a conventional canvas or vulcanized shoe. His natural ability to challenge conformity and foresee trends is what incubated the idea that would eventually become Native. Matthew, a graduate of the Emily Carr Institute had spent the previous ten years working as a professional graphic designer and most notably a senior interface designer at Electronic Arts where he was no stranger to bringing big ideas to life.
Their vision was to design lightweight, comfortable, good looking shoes out of EVA, ones that were airy, washable, and portable like sandals, with the silhouettes of the classic, casual shoes they loved, but more comfortable than either.
This infectious idea came to life with the help of friends and fellow visionaries who shared their ambition for success and style. Through pencil sketches, computer renderings, raucous and wide-ranging discussions, serious late nights, new tricks, both good and bad advice and a few disagreements they arrived at a single, rather naïve looking starch and wax model.
Model in hand they set out for China. Knowing no Mandarin and without any contacts they hopped hotels and hunted down factories. After many meetings and nights of hospitality they shook hands on a partnership with a manufacturer in Houjie who believed in the concept. By the fall of 2008, with the first prototype in hand, they returned home. Those who hadn't understood what they were doing now saw the potential for using this adaptable material for good design.
Over the following year, Native continued to learn about the manufacturing and development processes that eventually shaped the final characteristics of the first shoes. In the end, three styles of revisited classic silhouettes would make up the sample line of the Spring 2010 collection: the Je!erson, the Corrado, the Miller. By the end of summer 2009, the three silhouettes were ready to be put under their toughest scrutiny yet by inquisitive eyes on the US tradeshow circuit. Buyers, media and industry insiders alike embraced the collection. Native now had momentum for its Global Spring 2010 launch.
Today, Native is an international footwear brand that has only scratched the surface of the design possibilities captured in EVA. As the collection grows the vision always remains: lightweight and iconic footwear for now -- and for the future.

I know what you're thinking - Armie Hammer can't be his real name??! I'm talking about the actor who plays the iconic role of the Lone Ranger. But, it is. Armand Hammer goes by Armie. He must have had really cool parents.
This flick opens July 4th in the US and features some familiar faces: Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Tom Wilkinson, and James Badge Dale, who used to be on 24. You might also recognize Hammer's face. He's been in a few different films, including The Social Network. More on him HERE.
The most surprising thing of all is that both Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter are in the movie, and Tim Burton is NOT the director!! Gore Verbinski is directing this one. He did the first three Pirates of the Caribbean movies.

If we had a functional government, America would address three "cliffs" posing far larger dangers to us than the fiscal one:
The child poverty cliff.
Between 2007 and 2011, the percentage of American school-age children living in poor households grew from 17 to 21 percent. Last year, according to the Agriculture Department, nearly 1 in 4 young children lived in a family that had difficulty affording sufficient food at some point in the year.
Yet federal programs to help children and lower-income families — food stamps, aid for poor school districts, Pell grants, child health care, child nutrition, pre- and post-natal care, and Medicaid — are being targeted by the Republican right. Over 60 percent of the cuts in the GOP's most recent budget came out of these programs.
Even if these programs are preserved, they don't go nearly far enough. But the Obama Administration doesn't talk about reducing poverty in America. It talks only about preserving the middle class.
Yet unless we focus on better schools, better health, and improved conditions for these poor kids and their families, in a few years America will have a significant population of under-educated and desperate adults.
The baby-boomer health care cliff.
Health care costs are already 18 percent of GDP. Between now and 2030, when 76 million boomers join the ranks of the elderly, those costs will soar. This is the principal reason why the federal budget deficit is projected to grow.
The Affordable Care Act offers a start but it isn't nearly adequate to limit these rising costs. The President and the Democrats have to lead the way in using Medicare and Medicaid's bargaining power over providers to get lower costs and to move from a fee-for-service system to a fee-for-healthy outcomes system of health care.
But we can't avoid the fact we have the most expensive and least effective system of health care in the world that's spending 30 percent more on paperwork and administration than on keeping people healthy. The real health care cliff can only be avoided if we adopt a single-payer health care system.
The environmental cliff.
Global emissions of carbon dioxide jumped 3 percent in 2011 and are expected to jump another 2.6 percent this year according to scientists, putting the human race perilously close to the tipping point when ice caps irretrievably melt, sea-levels rise, and the amount of available cropland in the world becomes dangerously small.
Yet Republicans (and their patrons, such as Charles and David Koch) continue to deny climate change. And the Administration is no longer pushing for a cap-and-trade system or a carbon tax.
Yet unless we act to reduce carbon emissions, other major emitters won't do so. The only binding pact so far is the Kyoto Protocol, which the U.S. never joined. And we're taking no leadership at the international climate talks now taking place in Qatar.
Yes, America does face a cliff — not a fiscal cliff but a set of precipices we'll tumble over because the GOP's obsession over government's size and spending has obscured them. And Democrats so far haven't been able or willing to sound the real alarms.

This weekend features big names but for me, no big interest. Let's start with The Heat, starring Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy. As I've stated in previous posts, I am not a fan of Bullock, so that's strike one. Strike two, I'm a little tired of the McCarthy shtick. I really like her on Mike and Molly and I thought she was hilarious in Bridesmaids, but I think she is over-saturating the market. I unfortunately watched Identity Thief a couple of weeks ago, against my better judgement. I had no interest in seeing it but did so because I do like McCarthy. I didn't laugh once. NOT ONCE! I was annoyed more than anything. I guess I don't have a strike three right now but I'm too lazy to go back and change my approach, so two strikes is it for now. Here's what the critics think.
Next up is White House Down, starring Channing Tatum and Jaime Foxx. Tatum and Foxx have been entertaining on the talk show circuit, especially on Jimmy Kimmel, but interviews don't make a movie. As far as acting goes, Tatum looks great (right ladies?) but isn't a great actor. He's very flat. Foxx, on the other hand, has proven he can be brilliant but I just can't see how this pair works. The critics are not impressed.
Here's the rest of the movies opening this weekend:
