Workplace Wellness
The Workplace Wellness Program is tackling obesity in Montgomery County by educating and supporting small businesses and their employees on the benefits of living healthy by focusing on nutrition, physical activity and health literacy.
The Montgomery County 2011 Community Health Assessment compiled by the Texas Health Institute reported 70% of adults within Montgomery County to be obese or overweight. The number of adults reported as overweight or obese within income populations of $25,000 a year or less was 84%.
Workplaces reach parents and caregivers where they spend the majority of their day, in an environment that can highly influence and support their behaviors around healthy eating and physical activity. These parents and caregivers play an important part in supporting and role modeling 5-2-1-0 behaviors for their children.
There are also many benefits to employers who want to help employees and families be healthier. The 5-2-1-0 message provides a great starting point for workplaces that are new to wellness promotion and strengthens the efforts of workplaces with existing wellness activities. Get resources for your office here.
We're proud to have the City of Willis, the City of Conroe, Splendora ISD and Reaves Elementary on board for this life-changing initiative! If this is something your company or organization is interested in, contact Jodie Schrier or call 281-292-4155!

Bathroom Innovations
New technology is transforming basic necessities in the bath. We explore some of the latest products that are both beautiful and highly functional.
As technology transforms our lives, it's also transforming the way we look at our bathrooms and what we consider to be bath necessities. Here's a look at the trends:
- Communication technology for the bath includes flat-screen TVs, sophisticated sound systems and telephones for tub and toilet. Phones in the toilet area are part of the expanding communication technology for baths.
- Innovations in design make products extremely easy to use while beautiful to look at.
- Products for tubs and showers are evolving to offer professional spa features such as multiple body sprays, steam rooms, air tubs and Japanese soaking tubs.
- The latest innovation in shower design eliminates enclosures so that the shower becomes more a part of the room.
- Radiant heating is an important element in new bath design. It's used for heating a floor, towels or the air. New radiant heaters have a modern, sculptural look.
- Walk-in showers, showers with benches, taller toilets and wall toilets hung high are some of the latest designs that help with accessibility for handicapped people. Grab bars are being made in decorative designs rather than with the typical functional stainless look.
- Another innovation in design involves incorporating features not typically found in the bath, such as a fireplace or a chandelier.

Professor Marty Michelson (Southern Nazarene University) presented a lecture on the characters in the book of Samuel, in Oklahoma City on April 23, 2015, as part of the Museum of the Bible's lecture series.
Aren Maeir: New Light on the Biblical Philistines
On April 23, 2014, at the Oriental Institute at the University of Chicago, Professor Aren Maeir gave the 2014 David Kipper Ancient Israel Lecture: "New Light on the Biblical Philistines: Recent Study on the Frenemies of Ancient Israel". Professor Maeir discusses the evidence which challenges the theory that the Philistines arrived in a single invasion in Iron Age I. The video is now available on YouTube.
Aren Maeir is a Professor at The Martin (Szusz) Department of Land of Israel Studies and Archaeology, Bar-Ilan University and Director of The Tell es-Safi/Gath Archaeological Project, The Institute of Archaeology.
The Philistines are well-known from biblical texts as one of the main adversaries of the ancient Israelites. At the same time, the biblical narrative indicates that other types of interactions also were the norm. Recent excavations in Philistia, and in particular those at Tell es-Safi, biblical Gath of the Philistines, hometown of Goliath, have provided exciting evidence of the very complex interaction between these two cultures, revealing the multi-layered facets of what could be termed a Frenemy relationship between the Philistines and Israelites. In addition, recent finds have very much changed our understanding of who the Philistines were, where they came from, and how their culture formed, transformed, and eventually disappeared. These topics will be addressed in this lecture.

The Historical David: Joel Baden interviewed by John J. Collins
John J. Collins interviews Joel Baden about his recently published book The Historical David: The Real Life of an Invented Hero (HarperCollins, 2013). Baden follows a prevalent North American approach in claiming to be able to detect an extensive "historical kernel" in the biblical David traditions, originally written within the lifetime of those who knew David. The interview was recorded on January 28, 2014 at Yale Divinity School, and concludes with a Q&A session.
The Historical David: The Real Life of an Invented Hero offers a controversial look at the history of King David, the founder of the nation of Israel whose bloodline leads to Jesus, challenging prevailing popular beliefs about his legend. Baden makes clear that the biblical account of David is an attempt to shape the events of his life politically and theologically. Going beyond the biblical bias, he explores the events that lie behind the David story, events that are grounded in the context of the ancient Near East and continue to inform modern Israel.

The Maryland House of Delegates disciplined Del. Dan Morhaim on March 3 for using his office to influence medical cannabis regulators without properly disclosing that he was a paid consultant to a prospective dispensary.
The House voted 138-0 to reprimand Morhaim, a Democrat who represents District 11 in Baltimore County, for his involvement as a paid consultant and clinical director for Doctor's Orders, a company that received preliminary licenses to grow, process and dispense medical cannabis in Maryland.
After a lengthy investigation into the matter that encompassed several months, the Joint Committee on Legislative Ethics concluded that Morhaim violated the spirit of the state's ethic laws. The report also found that Morhaim, an emergency medicine physician, did not break the letter of the law.
Republican Gov. Larry Hogan told reporters at a news conference he thought Morhaim deserved a stricter punishment.
"In my opinion, somebody who has such complete disregard for the ethics laws of Maryland should be removed from office rather than slapped on the wrist," Hogan said, according to reports.
In a three-page letter sent to colleagues the day before the vote, Morhaim, a leading advocate of the state's medical cannabis initiative, formally apologized for blemishing the image of the legislature.
He blasted the wording of the state's ethic rules, maintaining he did not break the principles or the letter of the law but "might have violated the spirit of the law."
"Indeed, it was not enough to technically comply with the law," the letter said. "I failed to appreciate public perception of the issues."
Morhaim also took issue with the news media for what he dubbed an "erroneous" description of his activity. In the letter, he noted that The Washington Post published a correction to reflect he had made the required disclosures after running a story this past July that stated he did not.
Morhaim has vowed to stop working on medical cannabis issues and communicating with cannabis regulators and will terminate his relationship with Doctor's Orders, according to the ethics committee report and his letter.
The reprimand will not cost Morhaim his seat, which he has held since first being elected to his position in 1994.
Read Dan Morhaim's letter to the editor.

I was inspired to make my blog a bit more visually interesting by a great new blog by another expat mum in Seville, digamama. The author has put some excellent Feria pictures on hers, and when I get a bit more adventurous I will do the same. For now, you'll have to make do with some photos of flowers in the garden which I took at the weekend. The poor delicate flower is already kaput, but near my house there are entire fields of the things, stunning bright red, like someone chucked a load of scarlet paint on the grass. Next time I pass, I will try and remember to pull in at the bus stop, jump out of the car and run across the road to take a pic, without getting so excited that I get mown down.
It's a moot point about spring here – officially it started on 21 April, but as usual we've gone from coats in the morning and fleecy sleeping bag on pushchair, to semi-naked and sweating, in the space of a few days. This is spring. Summer is lower the blinds and lie on the bed for most of the day, unless you have air-con in your house.
You know the weather has changed because the bugs come out in force: ants, flies, wasps and mosquitoes; lizards, to consume the above, and Paco dispatched a couple of snakes which he came across basking in the sun in the garden this morning. Only problem is, the moles will come back now.
This is the olive grove next to our house, where the wonderful gnarly trees are currently floating on a sea of daisies. They'll get cut down soon, so here's a photo.
Now that it's time for warm-weather clothes, us ladies have to think about depilation, the colour of our underwear and painting our toenails (bare nails in Birkenstocks are a bit too puritanical for me). But it's also time for lounging outside, letting the kids play with fewer restrictive clothes (or none) and spending loads more time in the hammock under the lemon trees (watch out for falling fruit). We're planning to build a verandah soon, so we can have more shade for eating etc, and then I don't think I'll be inside the house much, until it gets searingly hot.

Sibling Portrait on 4×5 Film
Brothers 2016 | Pacemaker Crown Graphic | Atomic-X On a windy Saturday morning in November, I caught the wild ones on 4x5 film. This took some doing after the teepee they built blew over several times before we found a way to wedge and hammer branches into the hard ground. After several minutes of camera set-up behind the dark cloth checking focus and waiting for passing cars, I caught this moment with one in slight motion and the other stick still. These two steal my heart every single time. Save Save

Enter to win a copy of The Summer that Melted Everything by Tiffany McDaniel! Open to U.S. residents only
About the book
Fielding Bliss has never forgotten the summer of 1984: the year a heat wave scorched Breathed, Ohio. The year he became friends with the devil.
Sal seems to appear out of nowhere – a bruised and tattered thirteen-year-old boy claiming to be the devil himself answering an invitation. Fielding Bliss, the son of a local prosecutor, brings him home where he's welcomed into the Bliss family, assuming he's a runaway from a nearby farm town.
When word spreads that the devil has come to Breathed, not everyone is happy to welcome this self-proclaimed fallen angel. Murmurs follow him and tensions rise, along with the temperature as an unbearable heat wave rolls into town right along with him. As strange accidents start to occur, riled by the feverish heat, some in the town start to believe that Sal is exactly who he claims to be. While the Bliss family wrestle with their own personal demons, a fanatic drives the town to the brink of a catastrophe that will change this sleepy Ohio backwater forever.
About the author
An Ohio native, Tiffany McDaniel's writing is inspired by the rolling hills and buckeye woods of the land she knows. She is also a poet, playwright, screenwriter, and artist. The Summer that Melted Everything is her debut novel.

In the immortal words of the movie Scarface "who do I trust, me that's who". In the world of computer security you have to have that same mentality to a lesser extent. It is your job to be able to protect the business from all types of cyber threats no matter if they are in some remote part of the world or they work in the next cubicle. A computer security leak is a computer security leak no matter which way you look at it. You need to be able to stop it from happening to your business and we will help point you in the right direction.
Data Loss Prevention
What we are talking about here is Data Loss Prevention. We are moving more and more towards what they call an informational society. This means that while we still have plenty of blue collar jobs, informational jobs are being pushed more to the forefront. And when you are talking about a job like that, then you know that the most important commodity is the data that sits on the servers in your office.
In the world of Data Loss Prevention, the main offenders that you are looking at are the people who work with you. You want to be able to stop the crime before it happens. This is why the word prevention is part of the name. You do not want just anyone to be able to walk off with vital data that is in the servers so you have to set up a way to stop this. The first way you do this is by making sure that people at the job are only able to access the parts of the server that they need to.
A big part of data loss prevention is setting up parameters around the employees. You want to be able to monitor what is being put on their computers as well as what is being taken off. This might not sound like it follows polite etiquette when it comes to privacy but it in this day and age that doesn't matter. You have to be able to protect the job even if that means aggressively monitoring an employee's workstation. If you have the right software then they will not even know that you are monitoring their activities. You want to know what they put on their workstation because they have access to the rest of the computers on the network. An accidental or purposeful infection of the network can lead to millions in lost data.
As we said earlier a big part of this activity is limiting employees from accessing the entire network. If you are a secretary then there is no need for you to be able to access vital data that is on the network. But even if you are someone who works on the project there is no need for you to be able to access every part of the project. All employees should only be able to access the parts of the network that they need and no more. If there is no need for you to be in that part of the system then why are you there? Some employees feel like actions like this can cause a cloud of suspicion and non trust amongst them and management. But why take the chance? Computer security is tough so they should realize that stringent precautions need to be taken at all times.
Implementing proper Data Prevention Loss
If you want to be sure that your company is following proper procedure when it comes to Data Prevention Loss then check out the many software packages that are available. There are several solutions that will make sure that you have everything in place to be able to stop all the leaks that are inside of your company. The software will make sure that the network is properly mapped out and will also see that all of the right permissions are given. When you are dealing with software such as this, there should only be a few people who have access to it.
Data Loss Prevention solutions, or DLP, are very important when you are talking about the safety of your company. You want to be able to keep any trade secrets out of the hands of your competitor. One rogue employee and your life's work is blown. So for you to be able to stop that kind of action properly you will need the right DLP solution. And since there are many to choose from your best bet is to read reviews and ask around to see which one people suggest. The right DLP solution will help put your computer security person at ease tonight.

Colum Kenny: Life or death - when parents don't get to choose for their child
The ethical issues in the heartbreaking SR case were dealt with in a calm, sensitive way, writes Colum Kenny
His parents do not agree that their young son has to die. Using the internet, his father has found a doctor who will treat the boy for $30,000 on a Caribbean island.
The boy's dad has been clinging to hope that his severely brain-damaged son, aged six, might somehow yet have a life worth living.
Last week, the Irish High Court disagreed. Its president, Mr Justice Nicholas Kearns, ruled that SR (as he was identified in court) should not be resuscitated in the event of an acute deterioration requiring invasive treatment where medical advice dictates that not resuscitating SR is in the child's own best interests. SR can be left to die. His parents do not get to decide what is in his best interest.

It's probable that if you've hung around fandom, science fiction, or
like-minded communities – like the Steampunk universe – you've heard the phrase "Cosplay is not consent". If you haven't, I can give you a thumbnail definition: If one dresses as some sort of fandom or fantasy character with what is considered to be sex appeal or sexy look, this is in no way, shape, or form consent to touch that person. Neither is it permission to interfere with them without asking, or generally disrespect them as a human being simply because they're wearing cosplay. And that holds true regardless of the nature of the character, or how revealing or hypothetically seductive that cosplay might be.
I hear: "If they didn't want to be treated as sex objects, they wouldn't do sexy cosplays". There are plenty of reasons for cosplays, and being what you perceive as sexy doesn't necessarily happen because they want to be sexual, especially with you. I mean, when you cosplay a villain, is it because you plan to undertake a life of crime? Does that make it okay for cops to arrest you because you look like a famous fictional murderer? Of course not.
There are people who feel that making a public appearance makes you into public property. And it is true that certain kinds of celebrity, and certain public roles, might change some of how society might be allowed to view you. I do not know to what extent we really deserve to know the deep inside secrets of movie stars, or rock musicians, but it has certainly been part of the tradition of both of those industries for many years that those professionals get a lot of publicity and a lot of attention, and they reap both the benefits and the detriments.
The challenge is that cosplayers are not generally professionals, and even those who are remain a very small group of people who all came out of the fandom world with the same goals and motivations as the rest of us: to show our love for things Fannish, nerdy, and interesting, and to pay tribute to our favorite artists and characters.
And they deserve what the rest of us deserve: respect, sometimes admiration, camaraderie, and basic human decency.
Honestly, with or without cosplay, someone being or acting or dressing in a manner that you consider to be sexy does not mean that you own that person's sexuality or identity. Acting as if you did is disrespectful. It's flat-out harassment, sometimes in a matter which is literally illegal. And then there's this:
The more you disrespect sexy cosplay and costuming, the more you discourage it from happening. If you're someone who likes those things and appreciates them, and wants to see more of them, then you owe people, not unpleasant experiences, but gratitude and appropriate behavior. You need to, for your own damn self interest, treat those people well and politely, or you will do one of two things:
Either you will reduce the number of people who participate in those cosplays you love so much, because the price of dealing with you and people like you is just too high a cost to bear…
Or, increasingly, you will get kicked out, or at least get a warning from event security. Because I will tell you a single simple Awful Truth: the vast majority of fandom, regardless of gender or identity or politics, simply does not want to be around a person who can't treat others like adult human beings deserving of basic human respect.

After watching the fascinating film Ex Machina, I fell into a rabbit hole reading about the Turing Test, sidled over to whether the Blade Runner replicant test counted as a Turing Test, and ended up scoring a 54 percent likelihood that I myself am a replicant. It's a simplistic test, so I wasn't too fazed. That is, I wasn't too fazed until my husband scored as more likely to be a human than I.
How can this be? I've been calling my husband a pod person since seeing the Invasion of the Body Snatchers creatures' eerie resemblance to my husband's maddening lack of empathy that occasionally rears its low-affect head.
I re-took the test with the mindset of answering as I guessed a fully human respondent would answer, and I scored a zero percent chance of being a replicant. That means I am capable of imitating a human better than I am at being one. Thus, I can at least pass the Turing Test. Which is nice.
I next stumbled onto a Bloggess recommendation to check out Dreamscope. Her headline warned: Get ready to waste a good hour.
Yep, at least an hour.
I lost my pedometer a week ago, and the replacement should be arriving today. It's time to get off the couch again, to be sure.

Owl Paws, Tino Drima
Swedish American Hall
2174 Market Street
San Francisco, CA, 94114
Doors 7:00 PM / Show 8:00 PM
This event is 21 and over
Kane Strang's first album, Blue Cheese, picks up on the rough disaffection of his earlier demo collection, A Pebble And A Paper Crane, which he recorded in a WWII bomb shelter in Germany. Now back in his hometown of Dunedin, New Zealand, Kane spent two curious months alone, housesitting for his parents. Relocated, yet still isolated, Kane composed all of Blue Cheese over those quiet days. Lead-off track "The Web" channels pummeling bass lines punctuated by a twinkling synth that calls upon microscopic pop principalities of restlessness ("Yeah, I met someone else/ Without leaving my little house/ No, I haven't held her yet/ I met her on the internet"). Its abrupt ending parallels Strang's own disconnect. "She's Appealing" weaves day-glo guitar motifs into distant, detached '80s garage pop vocals. "Never Kissed A Blonde" is driven by a slapping delay on both vocals and guitar. Kane never doesn't surprise with his path towards a melody, nor does he miss a hit-on-the-head-obvious-in-retrospect memorable line.
.Owl Paws formed in 2011 when Derek Ted, Timothy Vickers, Lucas Siobal, and Wayne Mills met as students in San Francisco. Over the years the boys pushed themselves to constantly write, record, and perform as often as possible to refine and challenge their sound. They have gone on several tours up and down the West Coast and to South By Southwest, playing everywhere from major venues to living rooms and dark caves. In July 2015 Owl Paws released their debut full length record "Reservoir", showcasing their emotionally driven folk rock sound.
Tino Drima
Tino Drima is a cauldron of then, now, and what will be. There is grease, there is friction, there is high harmony, there are ripping beats, there are charmed humans parading onstage and in studio. There is a radio playing on the other side of the wall and Old Man Cooper has not left his apartment in over a month and it stinks. But this music does not, this music exudes class and classicism, and lifts you up and places you smack dab in the middle of newly decorated living room filled with Hummel figurines, a comfy couch, and the sound of dishes clinking and clanking in the kitchen sink just past the dining room. You want to stay, and you want to listen to the music, and you want to hang out, and you will stay up for as long as it lasts and maybe even longer, because it sounds so good and it smells like bacon over in that room now.

Ok, I am going to rant a little bit.
I have a friend of mine that I have known for 17 years. She was married young had children very young. Was abused young. Was divorced young. She came through all of that a better woman. What gets me, though, is that she has done everything right. She has tried to put aside her anger for the betterment of her children. Work with the father for their sake. Has gone through all of the proper channels in court.
My problem lies with the system.
This man owes her $16,500 and next month that goes up another $300. Yet the state of Va. and Md. still do nothing about it. They continue to let this man accuse her of everything imaginable, including having sex in front of her children.
Yet they do nothing but have a paper trail tied up in child support enforcement. Judges keep telling him he needs to pay but nothing ever gets done about it. Now she has tried to have his taxes garnished but, because he owns his own business that owes the Federal goverment money, they get theirs first. This woman lives at home with her mother. She's unable to better her family financially, yet he gets to own his own business. It has been 4 and half years since their divorce, and he has never helped with any part of his children in that time. Solely because they live with her.
How can anyone deny their responsiblilty to their children. So what if you're bitter towards your ex? Just don't use your children to have a fight with them.
There comes a time that you just have to grow up. You don't have to like the other person. Just try to get along enough so your children don't end up on antidepressants and suicidal because of it. Like the case of my friend's 13 year-old son. Because of his father, who blames it on a mother who is distraught over this.
When will people think of the children? Hopefully before it is too late.
EDIT by matthew: Line breaks, formatting, tpyo fixes. "Their" is possessive. "They're" is "they are". "There" is a location. "You're" is "you are", while "your" is possessive. You're not alone in having troubles with your possessive pronouns; they're difficult to remember, even when their definitions are right there in your dictionary!
I, like many, empathize, and in my case, really understand your fury over these situations. There isn't much to add.. I just really really agree with you.
NVZ: NINJAS VS ZOMBIES - THE MOVIE - www.nvzmovie.com
THE OFFICIAL JUSTIN TIMPANE WEBSITE - www.timpane.com
Without going into too much detail, I am in the same boat. I have been fighting with my ex-husband for years about child support. He doesn't work and therefore refuses to pay. He thinks I am money hungry because I need the support to raise my only child. My daughter went to the hospital 3 times since the end of September until the middle of November. I have 3 bills that I am paying on that my insurance didn't cover. The only time I hear from him or he speaks to Genna is when the are after him. He promises me that he will do better and work but then I get nothing. Or I get a check for $200 and then nothing for 2 years.
I live in Maryland and even though they say the do everything possible but they forgot two letters, IMpossible.
What my ex doesn't understand is that I am raising her on my own. Every penny goes to making sure she is healthy and happy. I would give more if I could but I can't. I made sure she has a house, food on the table, and clothes on her back. She goes to the best school in Frederick. All I am asking is for him to show responsibility. If we were still together and he worked, he would have to contribute. What is the difference now that we are apart. He still needs to contribute.
I will get off my soap box now. I am a big advocate for child support and the problems with it. I am working with my neighbor to get started on her process. She feels that she should only ask for half of her daycare. It is so much more than that.
Ok, I am finished ranting and raving for now.
So Andrea,
I am curious is it all about money with you? Not that that's a bad thing, I am a full time student, and as you know have a little girl, and her mother and I are going thru a divorce. I am unemployed, but working on becoming employable, all my off time I contribute to helping care for my daughter, in other words changing, feedings, just minding the store so to speak while her mother works. When I do get money I help when and where I can. You have made me feel bad, because I do not contribute much to the financial stability of my child, tho I am trying to better myself so I can. I do however contribute to her emotional well being, or try to. So I was wondering if your ex was actively involved with helping you raise the child, but was not able to help financially, would you feel a bit better?
Your friend ( I hope)
Curtis, money is just scratching the surface. The divorce from my ex-husband was not a nice thing. I left him because he didn't care anymore, amoung other stuff. I don't want to put too much of what happened here b/c I have to remember that Matt is my ex-husband's brother. I don't want to hash out what happened between us here. It might get ugly :oD. If you want details, I can email you separately.
It may seem that money all I care about and if you ask my ex, yes, to him that is all I care about. I want a good life for my daughter that is healthy, fun, and full of love and laughter. You can't do that when you loose your house and your car b/c you can't afford it anymore.
I am struggling to support my daughter. I worked two jobs, went to school so I can get paid more, and was a full time mother. I did this for about a year. I quit the part time job so I could be a better mother. I found out that I had to move out of the estate house that I lived in for free (as long as I kept it clean, etc) because my family was selling it.
Ok. now what do I do. I find out that that by the end of 2001 I didn't have a place for me and my daughter to live. I was at the end of my rope. I had maxed out all of my credit cards. I had been buying groceries on them, paying bills with them, etc. Thoughts of just going came in to my head. Without spelling it out, just 'leaving' and my insurance would take care of everything. But that would be stupid and shelfish of me to do that. There are betters ways around things. Plus I love my daughter too much.
With lots of tears and many prayers on my end, I found a house that I could buy. Paying a mortgage and paying daycare took most of my paychecks. But Genna had a place to live, etc.
Today, we are better but in my eyes, it takes two to make a baby and two to raise it. Whether it being fiancially or otherwise. But in my case, I do not want my ex-husband to help raise her. He had many opportunties to help out and without any details didn't. We also have NEVER agreed on religion. That is a whole novel to its own.
So once again, it isn't all about money. I love my daughter and I have spent all the money I have to raise her and it isn't fair for one person to do all of the spending.
Curtis, your case is different as it is with everyone else. You support your beautiful little girl in more ways that anyone can say. You help when you can and you probably have an open relationship with your soon to be ex-wife. My ex-husband lives about 1700 miles away from me and that is probably a good thing.
And don't worry Curtis, we are still friends. Nobody knows what another person has gone through to get them to the place that they are at. Matter of fact, send me your email and I can spell everything out for you. Once you read what I have been through the past 12 years, you will not feel bad anymore. You seem to be a sweet person and you are doing a good thing for yourself and your baby will respect you for what you are doing now. She may not understand until she gets older, but she will. So don't feel bad. You are being a wonderful dad!!
Your friend, Andrea

Yesterday afternoon, at the BaseballHQ First Pitch AFL, we held the 10th annual Experts Fantasy League (XFL) draft.
The XFL is a mixed format 5X5 that drafts in November with a $260 salary cap. Then, in March we hold a 17-player expansion draft giving a 40-man roster.
The league only performs waivers once a month, but weekly we can move players in and out as we please.
Over my decade in the league my performance has been pretty awful, which is tough, as I was able to dominate my local mixed league for many years, and thought I should have no trouble with this format.
Except that this is a very very tough league, with very very good players.
Over the years I have ascribed to the strategy of picking a few prospects, but basically drafting to win each year in the keeper format that allows us to freeze up to 15 players.
Well, after consecutive last place finishes, I decided to take a step back.
Since I really enjoy rebuilding, I decided to embrace the dynasty approach, and draft younger players, sacrificing 2012 for a contender in 2013 that will hopefully prove to be competitive for a couple of years beyond before the rebuilding begins again.
I did freeze $65 worth of players, ten of whom were on my major league roster plus five minor league prospects.
One of the things that makes the league tough is though we cannot draft minor leaguers during the auction, we can during the March expansion, and believe me, all the good prospects are nabbed and fast. For example, Trace Wood selected Yu Darvish two years ago.
So, in trying to determine how to rebuild with good young players, and knowing it would take longer to just draft prospects in March, and that would mean I would probably not do well next year, I had to start the process now.
What I decided to do was draft a few high priced unprotected players, and then hold the rest of my money till the end draft, and try to pick up as many promising rookies who had been advanced to the major league levels as I could.
That meant spending at least $100 on one or two stars, and then loading up at the end game with as many $1 and $2 players as I could.
If for some reason I assembled a solid roster, I had the stars to build around, and if not, come June, I would simply trade the stars for more undervalued players, and/or prospects.
I cannot believe that I paid $66 for Albert Pujols, and $42 for Roy Halladay in the process of affecting this change, but, that is what I did with the first $108 of my $195 available.
Surprisingly, I heard crickets when I nominated Bobby Abreu for $2 (though that is not a bad buy), and decided to spend $10 on Yunel Escobar and $17 for Mark Reynolds, both of whom might also be parlayed as trade material.
Otherwise I grabbed Taylor Green ($2), Jesus Guzman ($1), Trayvon Robinson ($1), Leonys Martin ($2), Ryan Kalish ($2), Jacob Turner ($2), Eric Surkamp ($1), and Corey Kluber ($1).
I did plan on leaving extra money so I could control the board oubidding $1 bids with an extra buck, and thus my planning went a little off as I did leave $47 on the table by the end of the draft, and while I knew it would be a success in the execution of my plan to leave money behind, I had anticipated the total being closer to $20.
Additionally, I could have spent a little more on third and picked up Ryan Zimmerman ($39), but, the Nationals third baseman was nominated fairly early (#24), and to tell the truth the shock of spending so much on Pujols and Halladay--amounts I have never come close to spending before--it was hard to pull the trigger.
Still, the basics of my plan are in effect, and with the youngsters I rostered, along with freezes Tyler Flowers ($1), Dustin Ackley ($4), and Ben Revere ($4), hopefully 6-8 of these youngsters will prove to be solid, productive, and hopefully cheap players to build around within a year or so.
Of course I am not sure this will work, but, I do really enjoy rebuilding, and enjoy trying new angles within the game just as much.
Now, the only question is will it work?

Citation: 65 F.2d 820 (D.C. Cir. 1933)
One-Sentence Takeaway: "[O]ne who is suddenly stricken by an illness, which he had no reason to anticipate, while driving an automobile, which renders it impossible for him to control the car, is not chargeable with negligence."
Summary: Plaintiff as a passenger in a car driven by Defendant at the time it struck an embankment on the side of the road. Plaintiff sued defendant for negligence.
Evidence was presented at trial that the accident occurred after Defendant fainted and lost control of his vehicle. Defendant also presented uncontroverted evidence that prior to the accident, he had never experienced episodes of fainting and he had no reason to believe that he could experience fainting.
With the foregoing evidence, the trial court instructed the jury to rule in favor of Defendant on Plaintiff's cause of action for negligence and the court of appeal affirmed.
The court reasoned that Defendant could not be negligent when he had no reason to anticipate the fainting incident which caused the accident.

Tragedy as 'dog COOKED to death while trapped in grooming cage'
A DOG was reportedly cooked to death while trapped in a cage in a horror grooming tragedy.
Distraught owner Allison Marks rushed to the vets and found her golden retriever Colby on the table with "glazed over" eyes.
And an assistant manager from the Petco store where Colby had been groomed apparently revealed the dog was found dead in a heated drying cage.
Colby's temperature was still above 40C, Marks claimed – even though he had been dead for at least 45 minutes.
The vet then told Marks that he thought the 2-year-old canine had died of heat stroke.
"I just started screaming. Colby was my everything," she said.
The Virgina woman added: "I don't know if they turned him over to another groomer and they dropped the ball or what.
"I know people walk back and forth past the dryers constantly because I have to take Colby back there myself with his anxiety."
Petco said the company takes "full responsibility" for animals under its care and that it is taking "immediate action" after the tragedy.
"Our thoughts are with Colby's family at this difficult time," the company added.
Marks is now considering legal action in a bid to get "justice" for Colby.
"I can't bear the thought of losing another dog," she said. "I feel like I should've done better by him."

Goodell offers his 'State of the NFL'
Sat., Feb. 2, 2013
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell touched on a wide range of topics Friday during the annual "State of the NFL." Among the highlights:
Player safety
Goodell defended the league, which has come under increasing scrutiny following new studies about the long-term effects of concussions as well as recent suicides by former NFL players.
Goodell says steps the league has taken in recent seasons have made the game safer, and more steps are likely going forward.
"We will not relent on this," he said.
Neurosurgeons will be part of game-day medical staffs beginning next season, he said. The league is also looking at eliminating certain low blocks and will continue to impose harsh punishments for illegal hits – particularly for players who are repeat offenders.
Proper tackling technique also needs to be emphasized, getting players to get away from using their heads and return to using their shoulders and arms.
"The No. 1 issue is, take the head out of the game," Goodell said.
Saints bounties
Goodell refused to apologize for his harsh treatment of the Saints' bounty program, even if it means he's not the most popular man in New Orleans this week.
Coach Sean Payton was suspended for the season, and four current or former Saints players were punished after an investigation found the club had a performance pool offering cash rewards for key plays, including big hits. The player suspensions eventually were overturned.
"There's no question that there was a bounty program in place for three years. I think that is bad for the players, it's bad for the game," Goodell said.
Rooney Rule
Despite eight coaching vacancies and openings for seven general managers, no minorities were hired for the NFL's most high-profile positions this off-season. Goodell says that's unacceptable.
"There was full compliance of the Rooney Rule. In fact, I believe there were a record number of interviews," Goodell said. "But we didn't have the outcome we wanted."
Goodell said the league needs to look at whether the rule needs to be adapted.

lmao kc made a "deep tech" track in 1992
Get Up is a pretty straightforward big drums deep house track iirc.That kind of bass line is kind of KC's signature thing too. I still don'tget what deep tech is supposed to be tbh.
Are you referring to all lo-fi house stuff here? I'm still into a lot of that.Not everything, but some stuff from Lobster Theremin, Delsin or evenCreme Organization. The whole sound is definitely not as fresh as it was3-4 years ago though.
Nah, I'm referring to 1080p.
thats a tune
I've fallen in love with this kind of dusty/lofi, but uuuultra groovy thing.
top fucking percentage
pretty much my vibe.
Public Possession nailing the light-hearted groove once more.
Copped this for $7 at detroit threads few weeks ago. Such a good record.
Right on!
I've bought records from Detroit Threads on ebay.
Seems like a cool record store.
Funny cause they've got a copy on their discogs page going for $20 .There was no labeling so the owner must not have realized what it was. There's so much music in there. Could dig for hours.
Any of you lot into Max Graef? he has some awesome stuff, from house to hip hop and a band.
I was listening to his album the other day the track that starts at 13:18 on this video grabbed my attention

Most of us don't give too much thought to companies that support the environment everyday, yet we spend our hard earned money on foods that come from companies that will either enhance our environment or harm it, unintentionally or not.
Buying organic is a great way to start supporting the environment.
It produces less pesticides, toxic chemicals into the air and our water, and protects the animals living in the land, which in turn we eat, producing less of a toxic burden to us and them.
Being vegetarian is also a great place to start since animal products take a majority of our environment's energy stores, and animal production makes up for a large part of our country.
Yet, sometimes, organic and being vegetarian aren't enough.
For some food companies, they desire to give back much more than that.
The following companies actually use the dollars you spend on their products to enhance the world you live in, or the world of others.2
It is safe to say I think these companies that support the environment are amazing, so check them out for yourself and start throwing some of their products in your cart next time you're at the store.
1. Earthbound Farms Organic
Earthbound Farms Organic foods are just one of the companies that support the environment, but no doubt, one to keep on your radar.
The fact that this company prizes vegetarian foods and organic food production is a great place to start, but they do much more than that.
You've probably seen Earthbound Farms Organic foods in your produce section.
I love their packaged greens and frozen veggies too.
They make various types of food products, and proceeds are well spent.
Every single package that Earthbound Farms Organic produces is made of recycled materials, along with all of their shipping materials, which saves over 22 million tons of Carbon Dioxide emissions per year along with 65 million gallons of water, 13 million pounds of solid wastes and enough energy to provide 4000 homes a year with electricity.
Pretty amazing, huh?
And that's just in their packaging!

Mark 4:22 For there is nothing hidden that is not meant to be made manifest, nor covered up but made evident.
Matthew 10:26 "Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be evident."
Luke 12:2-3 "For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be evident. Instead, what is said in the dark shall be heard in the light."
Luke 8:17 "Nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; or hidden, that shall not be evident."
John 8:32 "And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."
"The very word 'secrecy' is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths, and to secret proceedings. We decided long ago that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far outweighed the dangers which are cited to justify it."
"For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence — on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific, and political operations."
"And that is why our press was protected by the First Amendment — the only business in America specifically protected by the Constitution — not primarily to amuse and entertain, not to emphasize the trivial and the sentimental, not to simply "give the public what it wants" — but to inform, to arouse, to reflect, to state our dangers and our opportunities, to indicate our crises and our choices, to lead, mold, educate, and sometimes even anger public opinion.
This means greater coverage and analysis of international news — for it is no longer far away and foreign but close at hand and local. It means greater attention to improved understanding of the news as well as improved transmission."
-John F. Kennedy, "Address before the American Newspaper Publishers Association," Waldorf-Astoria Hotel New York City, April 27, 1961

WASHINGTON — The Food and Drug Administration and the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service this week issued a joint proposed rule to establish a set of general principles for evaluating whether to revise, eliminate, or create new standards of identity for food.
The shared effort is a step in the agencies' food standards modernization initiative.
Standards of identity define what a given food product is, its name and the ingredients that must be used or may be used in the manufacture of the food. Food standards ensure that consumers get what they expect when they purchase certain food products, the agencies said.
The food standards prescribe minimum amounts of certain ingredients, such as meat or poultry or milk fat; maximum fat and water contents; methods of processing, cooking and preparation; permit optional safe and suitable ingredients; and/or identify expected or characterizing ingredients. Food standards ensure that the basic nature of foods is maintained to meet consumers' expectations no matter where they buy the product.
"Today's action starts us down the road on a set of general principles that mark a significant step toward modernizing food standards," said Acting F.S.I.S. Administrator Barbara J. Masters. "The rule will likely encourage the development of food products with better nutritional profiles and stimulate innovations in food processing technology. The rule, if adopted, will allow both agencies to better utilize resources to better protect public health."
Recent technological advances in the food industry have led to increases in petitions to modify food standards. It is intended that the general principles will lead to the updating of existing standards or the creation of new standards with the goal of allowing industry to continue to produce safe and wholesome products while stimulating technological innovation.
"These proposed changes to the food standards process will optimize use of new food processing and packaging technologies in the development of food products geared to the needs of today's consumer," said Dr. Robert Brackett, director of F.D.A.'s Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition. "Moreover, this is an excellent example of the type of collaboration between the nation's food safety agencies that ensures the American consumer safer, more diverse foods on the grocery shelves."
F.S.I.S. and F.D.A. share the responsibility for ensuring that food labels are truthful and not misleading. F.S.I.S. has authority to regulate the labeling for meat, poultry, and processed egg products while F.D.A. regulates the labeling of all other foods.
All written comments should be submitted by August 19 to: F.S.I.S. Docket Clerk, Docket # 95-051P, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Food Safety and Inspection Service, Room 102, Cotton Annex, 300 12th Street, SW, Washington, D.C. 20250.

5 Reasons Rand Paul's Beliefs are Bad for Business
20 years ago when George H Bush uttered the words, "Let the shameful walls of exclusion finally come tumbling down," I doubt he envisioned that 20 years later his own son would be campaigning for a candidate eagerly wishing to rebuild them. Since Rand Paul can't be bothered to clarify his position on the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) on his website and was apparently MIA during Monday's ADA Anniversary festivities (no doubt a sign that Rand Paul's PR people have managed to find his leash this week), here are his own words on the subject:
"Right. I think a lot of things could be handled locally. For example, I think we should try to do everything we can to allow for people with disabilities and handicaps. You know, we do it in our office with wheelchair ramps and things like that.
I think if you have a two-story office and you hire someone who's handicapped, it might be reasonable to let them have an office on the first floor rather than the government saying you have to have a $100,000 elevator.
And I think when you get to solutions like that, the more local the better, and the more common sense the decisions are, rather than having a federal government make those decisions."
As a marketer in the disability industry, to say these statements are discouraging would be the understatement of the year. I could parse through the more offensive parts like the uses of the terms "handicaps" and "handicapped". (Pssssst. We don't say "handicapped" anymore.)
I could also point out the cringe-worthy phrase "allow for people with disabilities". Allow for what? Allow for people with disabilities to gain access to public buildings? Allow for people with disabilities to have a voice? Allow for people with disabilities to exist in your world, Rand? This phrasing makes it sound like we're considering shipping people with disabilities to another planet, and Rand thinks we should do "everything we can" to "allow" them to stay on planet earth….within reason of course.
I may even be tempted to point out the obvious, which is that if you are going to purport to support Veterans, now might not be the best time to go criticizing the ADA. America finds itself in the midst of the largest wave of returning veterans with physical disabilities, and a staggering 1 in 5 returning soldiers said to have mental disabilities such as PTSD. So if you truly believe that "the men and women of our armed services deserve to be treated like the heroes that they are," and indeed they do, you can start by supporting any means of removing obstacles in their way.
While there is much that could and HAS been said about Rand's now infamous remarks on the ADA, in light of this week's festivities I feel like one more frightening observation should be made before we put this one to bed.
Rand Paul is not alone in his beliefs.
Sadly, despite his stunning remarks on the civil rights movement and his strange alliance with an ever more ludicrous Tea Party constituency, his attitude toward people with disabilities is not uncommon. So for those of you who nodded in agreement when you read his quote, or protested having sidewalks on Tates Creek Road, or have ever parked in an accessible parking space without a placard, here are 5 reasons why Rand Paul's and your attitude are bad for local businesses:
1. Your beliefs encourage ignorance and fear among business owners
The concept that a local business owner should not have to make economically unfeasible structural changes to a building to accommodate one person is not an illogical statement. And guess who agrees with that statement? The ADA!
The truth is the structural accommodations required under the ADA mostly apply to new businesses and businesses being renovated. Existing businesses are only required to remove architectural barriers, and even then only if that removal is "readily achievable". That means it must pass a sophisticated test to make sure that the cost of the proposed fix is doable based on the size of the business.
2. By alienating people with disabilities, you alienate 5.3 million potential customers
People with disabilities shop. In fact, as a person who markets products exclusively to people with disabilities, I can tell you they are some of the most savvy and self-qualifying consumers out there. There are very few industries that could not benefit from an extra 5.3 million potential customers, regardless of the fact that they may have a range of disabilities.
Not everyone has children, so restaurants don't HAVE to invest in high chairs, children's menus, and Koala changing stations in their bathrooms. They make those accommodations, because they want to expand their market reach to families with young children. Similarly, as a business owner, if you tell me that putting in a curb cut is going to pay for itself in new business revenue, I'm probably not going to have a problem with that.
3. People with disabilities constitute one of the largest untapped talent pools in human resources
One in five people in this country have some type of disability. As an employer, simply making minor changes in how inclusive your business operates can open up a tremendous talent pool to you. In fact, the younger professionals entering the workforce constitute the first group to have fully benefited from the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. So again, comparing the cost of making my building accessible to the cost of losing out on 20% more talent in a time where talent shortage is becoming a larger threat seems like a no brainer.
4. Making reasonable accommodations has proved to be fiscally conservative in the long run
Clearly, the amount of money spent to make our communities a little more accessible pales in comparison to the prospect of having to support 5.3 million people without jobs, and who cannot therefore put money back into the economy. One of the many ironies in Rand Paul's stance is the fact that he believes the ADA and programs like it are exclusively federal weapons. The ADA and the Rehabilitation Act established one of the most beneficial state run programs to date for people with disabilities: Vocational Rehabilitation (VR). VR is NOT a welfare program, but rather a state-run program that's sole purpose is to get people with disabilities back to work no matter what it takes. They serve ALL people with disabilities regardless of family income.
It's not socialism, Rand, it's good conservative economics.
5. According to statistics, you are temporarily-abled
It's sort of inside joke in my industry that many of the more hardcore disability advocates prefer not to refer to people with disabilities as "disabled" or "handicapped", but would rather refer to everyone else as "temporarily-abled". It's true that you may be one car accident away from these issues hitting closer to home than you ever thought possible.
Furthermore, what is true for the majority of us, hopefully, is that we are going to live longer than our parents and their parents. Making our communities accessible today is not about charity or avoiding legal liability. It is about investing in our local economy and selfishly in our own personal futures. It is virtually inevitable that you or someone you love will need to use accommodations that may not otherwise have been made without the ADA.
For whom does the wheelchair ramp slant? It slants for thee.
So while you should certainly do as Rand Paul does and make sure that your business has "wheelchair ramps and things like that", don't buy into the propaganda that the ADA is out to bankrupt businesses for the good of the "few". Providing accessible accommodations is not charity or welfare or a legal obligation. It is a business and a community imperative.

Ashington U16 2 FC Amble Juniors U16 3
PinPoint Recruitment U16s League, Division Two
Having played Ashington a couple of weeks ago and drawing 2-2 at home, the Amble boys knew what they were up against and what they needed to do this time around to get a win under the belts.
With Amble starting the brightest, Jason Imeson and Tristan Oliver had early chances, the first going just wide, then their keeper pulling off a good save.
However, Ashington scored with a header at the back-post from a corner to take the lead (1-0).
It did not take long for Amble to equalise, with Ali Batey playing the ball to Tristan Oliver, who found Callum Fenwick to hit a first-time volley, giving their keeper no chance this time around (1-1).
Oliver soon made it 1-2 after cutting in from the right-hand side into the penalty area, before hitting a left-foot shot to beat the keeper from close range.
Centre-back Nathan Potts threw himself into every tackle for Amble.
From an Amble corner that was whipped in by Fenwick, Andy Flanighan got a flick-on to Ali Batey, who tapped in for a 1-3 lead.
With Amble playing good football and creating more chances, they should have been at least another goal to the good going in at half-time.
However, they gave away a free-kick, which took a deflection into the Amble goal for a 2-3 score at the break.
Early in the second half, with some good play between Oliver, Fenwick and Batey, the move finished with Imeson, firing wide of the net.
A James Oliver free-kick into the Ashington penalty area was headed just wide of the net by Batey.
With the Amble back-four of Straughan, Flanighan, Potts and Byrne giving nothing away, their midfield and strikers all did their bit to hold on to claim all three points.
Amble Juniors: J Aldworth, R Straughan, N Potts, A Flanighan, J Byrne, C Fenwick, B Little, J Imeson, J Oliver, A Batey, T Oliver, P Brown, J King, S Wright, J Aston. Man-of-the-match: James Byrne. Match sponsor: Amble-Warkworth Rotary Club.

Actress Priyanka Chopra bags another prestigious Dadasaheb Phalke award. She won the award in the "Best Actress of the Year" category for her role of "Kashibai" in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's magnum opus Bajirao Mastani.
Expressing excitement over the announcement, the 33-year-old star took to her Twitter and wrote, "So grateful.. The #DadasahebPhalkeAward is such an honour. #BajiraoMastani #blessed."
Earlier she received an award from the Dadasaheb Phalke Film Foundation for "Most Memorable Performance" in 2011 for her role in Vishal Bhardwaj's Saath Khoon Maaf. The foundation will honour the Quantico star on the 147th Dadasaheb Phalke Jayanti to be held in Mumbai on April 24.
Priyanka made her debut in Bollywood with The Hero: Love Story of a Spy in 2003. The film also starred Sunny Deol and Preity Zinta. In the same year, she starred in Andaaz, alongside Akshay Kumar and Lara Dutta. Former Miss World, Priyanka worked in popular films like Mujhse Shaadi Karogi, Aitraaz, Don, Fashion, Dostana, Agneepath, Barfi!, and Mary Kom.
In 2015, she made her television debut with American thriller series Quantico where she plays the lead role of Alex Parrish. Priyanka will soon be featured in Hollywood's Baywatch starring Dwayne Johnson and Zac Efron.

The Denver Broncos are a very proud franchise that has played in a number of big games over the years. They have also had a great many exceptional players too, perhaps none more so than Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback John Elway. John Elway would lead the Broncos to multiple Super Bowls, eventually helping the team win two world titles. The team has been around since 1960, but it should come as no surprise that John Elway holds the record for most 3,000 yard passing seasons by a member of the Denver Broncos.
During his career, Elway put up 12 different 3,000 yard passing seasons for Denver. The first one came in 1985 and his last in 1997. Who is in second place on the list though?
It is safe to say that Elway's record is in no danger of being passed anytime soon. Through the 2010 season, three players are tied for second in 3,000 yard passing seasons for the team with two each: Jay Cutler, Brian Griese, and Jake Plummer.
John Elway will go down as possibly the best Denver Broncos player ever. His dominance in the 3,000 yard season category is just one more small illustration as to why that is so.
