Celina Cook, R.N., PCCN
Celina Cook, R.N., PCCN, a heart center nurse at Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Fort Worth, is making a difference — not only for her patients but also for her practice. Cook has been the chair of her unit's Unit Based Council (UBC) for three years.
"When things aren't working on our unit, we turn to our UBC to come up with our own solutions," said Cook. "The UBC gives frontline nurses the opportunity to provide input on decisions."
Cook claims that she is "an accidental nurse" who planned on being an interior designer.
"I thought I'd just do nursing for a little while, and I cried all the time while I was in school because of the stress," she said with a laugh. "But once I realized that I could really make such an impact on my patients, I never looked back."
Spend just a few minutes with Cook, and you'll feel her enthusiasm for nursing and making a difference.
"Our patients are just little angels in disguise," said Cook. "They are so appreciative, and it's great to know that you can make such a difference in their lives."
Nursing at Texas Health Resources is more than a science, and more than an art. It is a calling-characterized by compassion, purpose, meaning and respect.
Texas Health honors that calling by creating a Magnet(ic) work environment for nurses that promotes professional autonomy, nursing excellence and evidence-based practice. It is an environment where compassion — both for patients and each other — is standard operating procedure. This environment also provides a Texas Health nurse with competitive compensation and a combination of benefits that's hard to beat.
An active clinical practice model at our hospitals features unit based councils that empower nurses to shape their work environment. Managers with open doors, a well-defined grievance process, a system-wide Nursing Congress, input solicited via surveys and meetings and performance evaluation all provide opportunities for the Texas Health nurse to be heard.

A fire consumes a house in Karlstad, Minn., Tuesday evening, Oct. 2, 2012, after wildfires spread fueled by high winds and dry conditions. Firefighters have contained a wildfire that destroyed about a half-dozen homes and forced evacuations Tuesday in the far northwestern Minnesota town, a fire official said, while dry and windy conditions helped ignite several other blazes in the region.

Players/Officials: MS Dhoni | Misbah-ul-Haq
Matches: India v Pakistan at Kolkata
Series/Tournaments: Pakistan tour of India
India had their second successive top-order batting collapse but unlike the first ODI in Chennai, where their lower order came to the rescue, Pakistan's bowlers didn't give the hosts a second chance and completed a big win to take the series.
MS Dhoni rued the failure of his batsmen after the bowlers had brought India back into the match. Pakistan had appeared set for a huge total after a 141-run opening stand, but India's bowlers struck regularly in the second half of the innings to limit their target to 251.
India's openers made an edgy start, but were still in the middle by the 10th over and had put up 42 on the board. However, just like the previous game, a wicket opened the floodgates and the team was reduced to 95 for 5 in 26 overs. There were no lower-order stands of note this time and while Dhoni stayed unbeaten, the team was all out for 165.
"Last 30 overs we needed 180, so if you put 100 off 20, then you can get 80-90 off last 10 with five fielders inside the circle," Dhoni said. "But the key is to have wickets in hand and we never were in a position.
"Virat [Kohli] has scored runs for us, but one of the top three needs to play with the middle order, that will make it easy, not that they aren't trying, but it happens."
The batting failures in the two matches have meant that India have neither been able to put up a competitive total nor be in a position to chase one down. Dhoni said there was experience in the batting but all have struggled to find form on tracks that have helped bowlers but also rewarded batsmen who showed patience.
"The bowlers brought us back into the game," Dhoni said. "The spinners in the second half of the first innings bowled well and the faster bowlers made most of the bounce available off the pitch. But when we went into bat, we lost too many wickets."
"Initially there was something for fast bowlers, then it became flat, but there was something for the spinners. There was turn in the first as well as second innings, but after 25th over the ball started doing a bit for the faster bowlers, even with the old ball. So there was everything for everyone. There were runs for batsmen too. It was a good ODI wicket."
Dhoni also conceded that the team was finding it difficult to win matches with part-time bowlers in view of the amended ODI rules which stipulate five fielders inside the circle for full 50 overs.
"We are used to play with part-timers. Now it's difficult for part-timers to bowl with five players inside the circle. If there's dew, then you don't get turn as well. With the new rules, you've to assess whether six batsmen are enough or seven."
"What we're looking at is somebody who can fill in the gap -- a genuine allrounder to bring in the balance in the side. Lower-order contribution is also very important especially when you're chasing."
Misbah-ul-Haq, the Pakistan captain, said a total of 300 was on the cards after the platform Pakistan openers had set but the pitch was not an easy one to score on, especially for new batsmen. He, however, praised the bowling attack for another efficient performance.
"The bowlers are really doing a great job, especially Junaid who is moving it both ways and asking questions of the batsmen," Misbah said. "Irfan has his height, Gul also bowled well today, and Ajmal and Hafeez always deliver for us.
"We have the edge in the quality of our bowling. Indian batsmen are struggling for quite a long time. But I think our bowlers exploited the conditions better. Normally we get flat pitches here in India. But both the pitches - in Chennai and Kolkata - were challenging for batsmen," he said.
Misbah also singled out Nasir Jamshed for special praise and said the batsman has matured well during the tour.

DENVER — Marijuana legalization in Colorado and Washington could lead to big profits for people in the pot business, but industry entrepreneurs have plenty of questions about the recent votes.
After voters weighed in on election day, Colorado and Washington became the first states to allow possession of up to 1 oz. of legal pot for recreational use, but they are likely to face resistance from federal regulations.
The National Marijuana Business Conference convenes in Denver Thursday, less than 48 hours after voters approved marijuana for recreational use. Washington state also voted to make the drug legal.
Business owners and others in the industry planned two days of lectures and discussion about what the ballot measures mean for businesses. Discussions include navigating regulations and banking restrictions, along with tips for handling federal drug raids.
Speakers include the head of the Washington, D.C.-based Marijuana Policy Project. The project was the biggest funder of recent legalization campaigns in the two states.

ARLINGTON, Texas - David Ortiz got the Boston Red Sox off to a good start with a two-run homer in the first against Texas ace Yu Darvish.
The Rangers' Adrian Beltre, left, celebrates with Elvis Andrus after Beltre delivered a winning RBI single in the bottom of the ninth inning in a 4-3 win against the Red Sox at Arlington, Texas on Sunday.

Texas starter Yu Darvish rang up 14 K's against the Red Sox – the second time he's done it this year – but also allowed two Boston home runs.
WHO: Red Sox (Buchholz 6-0) vs. Minnesota Twins (Worley 0-4)
WHEN: 7:10 p.m.
WHERE: Fenway Park
TELEVISION: NESN Plus (Time Warner Channel 9, 700)
Then David Ross went deep an inning later.
Except that's all the Red Sox would get against Darvish, who matched a career high with 14 strikeouts in seven innings before Adrian Beltre's two-out RBI single in the ninth gave the Rangers a 4-3 win Sunday for a three-game series sweep.
"They're all tough," Red Sox starter Jon Lester said. "The guys did a good job of getting the lead, and I have to do a better job of minimizing the damage after I get the lead."
Lester, with a 4-0 record, also got a no decision after seven strikeouts in six innings. Like Darvish, the left-hander was hurt by two home runs.
"I felt good. I felt like I had good stuff," Lester said. "I just made two mistakes."
Mitch Moreland's fourth homer, an opposite-field shot that landed only a couple of rows into the left-field seats -- and just inside the pole -- got Texas within 3-1 in the third. Nelson Cruz hit his seventh homer, a two-run shot to center after Beltre's single, to tie the game in the sixth.
Beltre reached down and out over the plate to line a hit to right-center off Clayton Mortensen (0-2). That sent home Elvis Andrus, who had reached on a two-out bloop single and moved up on a wild pitch before the Red Sox opted to intentionally walk Lance Berkman and bring Beltre to the plate.
"We showed a lot of heart right there," Andrus said. "That shows for us how good we are right now."
Boston (20-11) has its first three-game losing streak this season, and now shares the best record in the majors with the Rangers and St. Louis.
"I don't think this team has gotten ahead of itself in any way," Boston Manager John Farrell said. "Despite the early success that we've had, we knew this would be a tough series."
While Darvish had 14 strikeouts for the second time this season, the right-hander from Japan allowed multiple homers in a game for only the second time in his 36 starts for the Rangers.
"After I gave up those runs, I told myself I was only a couple of runs behind. I was trying to stay focused and not dwell on what had happened," Darvish said through his translator.
Rangers closer Joe Nathan (1-0), the third reliever, worked around a walk and a hit in the ninth.
The game was 3-3 when Darvish threw the last of 78 strikes among a career-high 127 pitches, denying him a chance at his sixth victory to equal the most in the majors.
He did raise his majors-best strikeout total to 72, and was still throwing in the mid-90s before punctuating his exit with consecutive strikeouts with a runner on base, then pumped his fist walking off the mound.
Darvish was already at 105 pitches after striking out Dustin Pedroia, Ortiz and Mike Napoli in order in the sixth inning. But there was still nobody warming up in the Texas bullpen at that point.
"He'll get pushed, today was one of those days," Manager Ron Washington said.
"He gave us 120-something pitches, because we needed it out of him, and he was able to give it to us. ... You had two of the best pitchers in the game out there. I don't know what Darvish would have done to me if I would have taken him out of the game."
Darvish's other 14-strikeout game came in his first start this season, when he retired the first 26 Houston batters and was within one out of a perfect game before giving up a single April 2. The last time an American League pitcher had multiple 14-strikeout games in a season was 2000, when Pedro Martinez had three and Mike Mussina two.

AUSTIN -- With thousands of people downtown for South by Southwest, getting from one show to the next can be a challenge. Now businesses are cashing in on giving you a ride.
"It's been pretty awesome exploring the city, getting into free shows," said Seve Zavala, visiting from Phoenix, AZ.
Zavala and his buddy Nicolas McKee made the trek from one venue to the next, willing to walk miles for live music.
"It's usually just blisters on our feet by the end of the day, but it's well worth it," said McKee.
You don't have to go by foot. You can catch a ride on the MetroRail, pay for a taxi or a pedicab.
"Nothing like a typical night; it's just busy, busy, busy," described pedicab driver Victor Chary.
Chary says he's working 16 hour days during the festival and he could make upwards of $100 an hour.
"It's hard to even go somewhere and take a break not to have people trying to flag you down," he said.
You can even find a bike of your own through bike share programs like Social Bicycle. Or hop in a smart car. Car2go is providing several drop off locations for quick and easy access.
"It's just nice to know you can go out of the metro zone or out of the convention center and boom, you've got a car," said car2go's Dana Golding.
The options are seemingly endless. Chevy is giving free rides through their Catch a Chevy campaign, and for a minimum of $75 a Rolls Royce could be yours for the night through a service called Uber.
"It's a new experience," said Uber's Matt Marra.
The San Francisco based company is in town for SXSW. The service offers private drivers anything from a pedi cab to a mid level car, to luxury vehicles like a Porsche or Range Rover.
"We're just one more option, trying to meet a massive amount of demand," Marra explained. "You're never going to have enough taxis or public transportation when you have millions of people coming into the city."
No matter where you're going, the ride might just be half the fun. Uber, Yellow Cab, and car2go all utilize phone applications for quick and easy locating and booking.
During this year's SXSW Interactive, another app, RideScout, launched. The app promises to locate and track all nearby public transit.
Plot your SXSW routes with the help of the free app WAZE, and while you're on it, join the KVUE Traffic Trooperz.

liquor drinks = success
thank you so much for providing vodka drinks at the festival last year. as someone who does NOT drink beer or wine (histamines, allergies, etc), this made me so happy! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do that again this year. it was awesome!!!!.

Re: liquor drinks = success
liquor=Do It! Also, why were the bars being so secretive about non-alcoholic drinks? At some point, I may want a caffienated beverage to go with my alcohol. It was like you had to discreetly ask for them to sell you a Coke or bottled water. Only douchebags and underage kids don't tip even when buying a water or Sweet Leaf, so why all the dl?

Cycling Socks are nearly always overlooked, abused and usually discarded post ride with a disdainful flick of the wrist at the nearest stationary pile of clothing. However, socks can make or break a ride, taking you to the heights of comfort, or the depths of despair. More >>
A ride in comfort, guaranteed
Cyclists are prone to hot spots on their feet in warmer climes, and this rider has seen many fellow sportive cyclists clutching at their beloved feet in agony by the side of the road. Ok, so some of this is down to an incorrect choice of footwear, but take care of your feet and they'll take care of you!
For warmer rides, a good pair of mid to low cut socks that fit snugly without wrinkles around the sole are a must. Man made or merino, it really doesn't matter so much, but a lot of riders go for merino because its ant-bacterial nature helps to resist odours. Fit is key though, so make sure they are neither too tight nor too loose. For colder rides, a mid weight sock is ideal with a slightly higher cuff length. Less >>

Tales from Skybound: Helen
Whew! The holidays are a busy time of year at Skybound. With our Black Friday sale just having wrapped, and The Walking Dead Assault downloadable for free on iOS, we started December off with a bang. Fortunately, I did find time to bake cookies for the office. They disappeared in record time, despite my terrible baking skills. In fairness, I ate most of them. What can I say? I needed a sugar boost.
Sometimes you need an antidote to the holiday cheer, though, or at least I do. If all the carols and shopping get to be too much for you, be sure to check out Dead Body Road, in stores this coming Wednesday 12/11. Nothing like bloody revenge to wash away the taste of too much fruit cake! (Or check it out even if you love the holidays. Either way it's damn good.)

'Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn' - Rhett Butler
Years in the wilderness, endless casting auditions for the role of Scarlett, directors replaced, several sackings all over, the largest price paid for a debut novel, reluctant lead actor and one massive headache for everyone involved, Gone With The Wind had a lot to live up too and boy did it ever deliver. Since the day that producer David O. Selznick paid $50,000 for Margeret Mitchell's debut novel, 'Gone With the Wind', a frenzied circus has surrounded the epic saga ever since.
Published in 1936, ten years after Margeret Mitchell first started the massive tome, Gone With the Wind became an instant best seller, winning the Pulitzer Prize in 1937. Plans for the film adaptation were already underway and the huge task of finding a actress that was able to fulfill the role of southern belle Scarlett O'Hara were already proving difficult. Gone With the Wind is as infamous for it's final product as it is for it's audition reels, an endless stream of talented actresses were linked or auditioned for the part, including Lana Turner, Susan Hayward and Joan Bennett before relatively unknown, at the time, English actress Vivian Leigh snagged the part in 1938.
Fast forward to 8:20 to see the audition reels for Scarlett O'Hara
Scarlett decides she will confess her love to Ashley at a barbecue party being held at his family plantation, in admitting her feelings; in typical Scarlett style, Ashley admits to having feelings for her but, quite wisely, states that Melanie makes a better wife. Witnessing this exchange is the irrepressible Rhett Butler (Clark Cable), smart mouthed, cynical and more than a match for Scarlett, he slowly, much to his better judgment, falls in love with her; obviously spotting similar qualities in her that he possesses. Their first meeting is as heated as it will continue to be throughout, snapping at each other with this delicious trade off:
Scarlett "You, Sir, are no gentleman,"
Rhett "And you, miss, are no lady."
Gone With The Wind is a film of two halves, quite literally having an intermission separating the epic. The first of which is often captivating and thrilling covering the time period of the Civil War and Sherman's march through Atlanta that lives up to the films epic reputation. The scenes covering the siege of Atlanta whilst Melanie gives birth are nerve wrangling and deftly executed. In escaping, with the aid of Rhett, from the ravished city we are treated to the films finest set pieces; the shot of the burning house in the background as the flee for their lives displaying love and loss on a grand scale and that haunting shot of 'the field of the dead', which will long live in the memory, carefully depicts a hopeless cause in face of the inevitable.
A romanticised, sentimental version of historical events about the 'good ole' south, with slavery, and all references to 'negroes' and the Ku Klux Klan omitted from the script, Gone With The Wind paints a picture of plantation life that could only have been made possible by the exploitation of this excluded race. Mitchell's original novel was sanitised for the big screen in order not to upset mainstream audiences, as well as some high ranking officials still affiliated with white supremacist groups. The nominal black characters such as Mammy and Prissy (Butterfly McQueen) are shown to be happy with their lot in life and probably better off in this mythical world.
However, what else was I supposed to expect? Given the original text, the era of which this was made and the amount of money behind it, Gone With The Wind was never going to be anything other than mythic tales of a world long gone. It's this vivid romantic style that sweeps the viewer off their feet from the very beginning and in parts this film is simply astonishing and quite ahead of its time. The cinematography, at times, is breath-taking and Leigh and Gable simply fizzle whenever they're on the screen together, sexual chemistry oozing from every possible pore. Same can't be said however of co-star Leslie Howard as the wet, insipid Ashely who feels as if he's strolling through the film and other characters such as Melanie, Mammy and Prissy are nothing more than fodder to keep the story moving.

New RV Travel Trailer, Toy Hauler & Truck Camper Inventory
Ohio Travel Trailer, Truck Camper & Toy Hauler Dealer
Browse our inventory of new travel trailer toy haulers and truck campers from reputable manufacturers like Palomino, Forest River, Keystone, Livin' Lite & KZ RV. We simply refuse be undersold on a comparable coach!
Towing capacity, sometimes called maximum towing capacity, is the maximum allowable weight that a vehicle can tow. Towing capacity is specified by the manufacturer and can usually be found in the owner's manual. Some towing hitches' towing capacity exceeds that of certain cars and trucks, but that is because hitches can often fit on many different types of tow vehicles. Always follow the vehicle manufacturer's designated towing capacity to prevent damage to your vehicle. Remember that passenger weight exceeding 150lbs., optional equipment, and additional cargo should be calculated and added into the towing capacity equation. Never exceed your vehicle's towing capacity because doing so can effect your vehicle's handling, stopping ability or possibly even damage
Payload rating is used by the manufacturer to let you know what they have determined is the amount of weight you can safely put in your vehicle. This usually includes passenger, content and the weight of your vehicle. A "net payload" usually is the amount of weight you can safely haul in the bed of your truck.
Despite what some may say, the payload of your truck cannot be safely increased! It involves much more than just springs. It involves your frame strength, springs, shocks, bearings, tires, rims, wheels, axles, gears and more so please be careful! Don't confuse what you can pull BEHIND the wheels with what you can load ON the wheels.
For all of these reasons and more, Mike Jones Motors/Rv strongly recommends that you double check the maximum towing/payload weight ratings with the local vehicle dealer for your specific vehicle prior to towing any trailer or hauling any sort of truck camper.
Mike Jones Motors/RV does not guarantee the accuracy of the manufacturer's towing/payload capacity ratings nor are we liable for any accident, property damage, injury or death related to any person's reference to this data. We make no guarantee that you nor anyone else's vehicle will safely or easily tow or haul any trailer or truck camper purchased from Mike Jones Motors/RV. It is ultimately your responsibility to safely load and/or tow!

I worked at Art Institute of Chicago
Pros – The Art Institute is a world-class museum that is a great setting for getting exposure to the inner workings of curatorial departments. If you become a full time regular employee, you also get a great set of benefits that even includes free tuition to SAIC classes.
Cons – If you are an intern, even if you have worked (unpaid) at the museum for months on end, it is still incredibly difficult to get a job there because it is so competitive. Having worked there for 9 months in two different departments, I have interviewed for a few full-time regular jobs and been given feedback ranging from "we wish you had an MA" to "we're not hiring you because you might leave and go to graduate school soon." At least, that is what has been implied. It's frustrating!

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"Everything about this invitation was just beautiful! The pearlized paper added a WOW factor. Wedding Paper Divas fretted about the clarity of the picture I submitted, but they did a first class job! The company was so accommodating & helpful in making my project a reality! Everyone just raved about how beautiful & delicate & perfect!"
"I sampled the pink and purple, which were both great, but I chose the purple (it being my part of my wedding colors). I also opted for the rounded corners and the pearl sheen, both are a must!!! The select people I have shown loved it..."
"This invitation for my daughter's bridal shower turned out very beautiful and elegant. Very professionally done! And the turnaround from approval of the proof to delivery to my front door was fantastic! I will most definitely use this company for future paper products like this!"
"I changed the color to red to match the wedding color. The color on line was exactly what the color was when I received them. I was very please with how they turned out. They were high quality. I would recommend this website to others. Thanks Paper Divas!"
"I was so thrilled with these invitations. The coloring and style were exactly what I was looking for. Most importantly, I wanted to have a designer move some of the text higher on the page ( felt it was too jumbled all together). I also needed some special instructions to guests printed on the back regarding a surprise for the bride - Submitted it, they changed it at no cost, got back to me quickly, and I had them 3 days later. Will definitely be using wpd again ! Also love that I am able to have guests respond online without using my own email address !"

The 5-year-old boy was taken from his home on Wilmer Avenue Friday to Stringfellow Memorial Hospital after police responded to an emergency call. The boy was later taken to Children's Hospital in Birmingham, where he died Friday afternoon.
Anniston police Capt. Allen George said police charged two people Monday afternoon with a separate case of child abuse that took place Friday at the same address. George said a 7-year-old girl was abused Friday afternoon. He declined to release details of her injuries.
The girl's father, Vonta Montrell McClellan, 26, of Anniston, was charged with abusing the 7-year-old.
The warrant for his arrest states McClellan beat the girl with a belt. McClellan was in the Anniston City Jail Monday afternoon, according to a jail employee. McClellan's cash bond is set at $500,000.
George said Department of Human Resources personnel went to the 1200 block of Ferron Avenue on Sunday to meet with the girl's mother. The mother, Secret Teshondra Huguley, 23, grabbed the girl and fled in a car, George said. Huguley and her four children were found, George said, and DHR took custody of the kids.
Huguley was charged with tampering with physical evidence, a misdemeanor, court documents show. Huguely was released on a $1,000 bond from the Anniston City Jail Monday afternoon. Huguley's bond is under the condition that she have no contact with her daughter, according to court documents.
Johnnie Johnson, the landlord of the family of the 5-year-old boy, on Monday described the child, whom he called Gregory, as a "sweet little boy." Johnson said the boy's mother rented the house on the 2400 block of Wilmer Avenue and he'd known the family for six months.
Johnson said Gregory always smiled and said hello whenever they saw each other.
"It's a hard thing to swallow," Johnson said. "He was a great kid."
The boy was part of the reason the family went to the Victory Headquarters Christian Center next door to their home, he said.
"He came to Sunday school all the time and came to church. He said he wanted to be a pastor," Johnson said.
Authorities still had not released the child's name Monday. Attempts to reach Calhoun County Coroner Pat Brown were unsuccessful.

Auburn got the nation's attention with its 45-41 victory at No. 7 Texas A&M, a game that vaulted the Tigers (6-1, 3-1 SEC) from No. 24 in one poll to ranked in every poll --- as high as No. 11 in the Associated Press poll.
Suddenly, the prospect of reversing Auburn's 3-9 finish of 2012 looks realistic. The chance for double-digit wins looks within the realm of possibility.
Thanks to the Auburn-A&M game other major upsets around the SEC, especially Ole Miss' upset of then-No. 6 LSU, top-ranked Alabama's Nov. 9 showdown with two-loss LSU loses luster. Suddenly, the Iron Bowl comes more into focus as a possible battle for the SEC West Division.
Assuming Alabama (7-0, 4-0) wins and goes back to Atlanta, suddenly Missouri looks like the likely opponent coming from the East Division. The unbeaten and now-fifth-ranked Tigers, who struggled in their initial SEC season a year ago, beat Georgia and Florida in successive weeks. Every other East team has at least two conference losses.
Alabama was the one constant in SEC play Saturday, routing Arkansas 52-0 for the second year in a row with a statistically near-perfect performance.
Meanwhile, Jacksonville State (5-2, 1-2 Ohio Valley Conference) was off this past week, after losing 31-15 to OVC contender Tennessee State at home.
Alabama: Triple-zero
OK, so anything Alabama accomplished Saturday came against a team the Tide has beaten 52-0 two years in a row, but the rout of Arkansas produced three leading indicators of good football for Alabama.
Zero turnovers.
Zero penalties.
Zero on the scoreboard for the opponent.
That's hard to do. Alabama had a turnover and one penalty for 15 yards in a 49-0 rout of Western Carolina in 2012. The Tide had one turnover and two penalties for 10 yards in the 49-0 rout of Auburn.
Alabama had no turnovers but seven penalties for 74 yards in last year's 52-0 victory over Arkansas.
A year later, it could have been that Alabama and Arkansas found charitable referees. Arkansas had only two penalties for 20 yards.
Still, Alabama didn't so much as fumble the ball, let alone lose a fumble. That, of course, was a point of emphasis after Alabama's two lost fumbles in last week's 48-7 rout of Kentucky.
It's hard to lose with a triple-zero. It's also hard to do, even against the least of opponents.
Auburn: Turning to eraser
Preseason is a time to go through schedules with a pencil. Thanks to Auburn's victory at Texas A&M on Saturday, it's time to flip to the eraser.
Erase Texas A&M as a penciled-in loss for Auburn.
While we're at it, let's erase the mark next to wounded Georgia? That game, at Auburn, goes from "L" to "T" for tossup.
It's hard to see Auburn tripping up against the Arkansas team we saw play Alabama on Saturday. Tennessee's breakthrough against South Carolina turns a "W" into a road "T" for Auburn.
Surely no change for top-ranked Alabama, right?
Well, Auburn has the Tide at home, and we saw how close Auburn came to beating a national-championship Alabama team at home in Gus Malzahn's last first season at Auburn.
We also see the very comparable scores and stats between Alabama's and Auburn's games at Texas A&M this season.
If Alabama and Auburn hold serve between now and the Iron Bowl, that game goes from "M" (meaningless) to "C" --- for championship of the SEC West Division.
If there's any eraser left after all of that, go ahead and erase that whole 2012 debacle from memory. Malzahn has clearly done that with his first Auburn team as head coach.
JSU: Mystery team
JSU faces major question marks going into this week's OVC game at Tennessee Tech because of injuries.
Wide receivers Markis Merrill (hip) and Dalton Screws (collar bone) are out. Quarterback Max Shortell (knee) is expected back at practice this week, but will he be at full speed?
What kind of team will show up at Cookeville on Saturday? What can that team do?
The answers will begin to unravel what kind of season JSU can have, and that picture is starting to change.
The Gamecocks have lost two of three OVC games after a 4-0 start in non-conference play. A game against league heavy Eastern Illinois (6-1, 3-0) lies ahead. Eastern Kentucky (4-3, 2-1) also lies ahead and routed JSU a year ago.
But winnable games against Tech (3-5, 0-4), Austin Peay (0-7, 0-3) and Southeast Missouri (1-6, 1-3) also lie ahead.
Howe JSU finishes depends on the answers first-year JSU coach Bill Clark can find in his first major test.

The Wisconsin portion of Champlain's 1632 map.
Carte de la Nouvelle France, augmentée depuis la dernière, ... par le Sr. de Champlain Capitaine pour le Roy ... [Map of New France, expanded since the previous one, ... by Sieur de Champlain, captain for the King...]
Near the end of his life the explorer Champlain wrote a long account of his three decades of travels in North America. Accompanying his text was the large folding map seen here (reproduced from a 19th-century facsimile). The western portion showing Lake Superior is probably based on verbal reports by Etienne Brule, the only European thought to have visited the western Great Lakes before Jean Nicolet in 1634. Because Brule worked closely with Champlain, and because no other European is known to have visited the region before the map was published, modern historians assume he was the mapmaker's source of information. Unfortunately, Brule had died by 1632 and Champlain had never personally traveled to the far west, so the map is wildly inaccurate in how it represents Wisconsin. Nevertheless, historians generally agree that the features of Lake Superior probably came from Brule's reports. At the lower left is the junction of lakes Huron and Superior with Green Bay ("La Nation des Puans") mistakenly placed to the north of the two. Click "Zoom & Pan" to get get a closer view and read Champlain's notes about natural features.

Chinese Herbal Medicine Treatment for Idiopathic Hepatic Lipidosis in a Cat
by Anthony Chu
A two year-old neutered female Domestic Long Hair cat was examined after her owner reported weight loss and anorexia. Clinical examination revealed marked jaundice. Subsequent conventional diagnostic tests by a feline veterinary specialist confirmed the cat was suffering from idiopathic hepatic lipidosis (HL). Although HL is the most common type of liver disease of North American cats, it is much less common in Australia. The cat was placed on a Chinese herbal formula known as Wei Ling Tang (Calm the Stomach and Poria Decoction) and she responded within three days and started eating again. The treatment was continued for a total of eight weeks. Follow-up laboratory blood profile has revealed complete resolution of her hepatobiliary disease.TCM diagnosis poses new challenges. As vets, we are used to gathering information indirectly through asking questions of owners, through observation with our eyes, listening with a stethoscope, and even smelling greasy yeasty ears. We also routinely use palpation to feel enlarged or painful abdominal organs, to detect the heat of acute inflammation or pyrexia, or the soft fluctuant swelling of abscesses. However since beginning to learn TCM several years ago, I�ve had to modify my skills.

Comments On Aug 29, 2012:Fits great. Clarke caps are poor quality. This seems like a much better alternative for the same price. Wish the red cap was more like Honda Red. Its darker and doesn't match the colors on my bike very well.

Comments On Apr 23, 2011:Bought the gas cap in blue for my Clark gas tank. Fits perfect. I followed others advice and safety wired the check valve on. The gasket on my old cap was deteriorating horribly so this was a perfect purchase. For the price you cant go wrong. I was surprised that they were available for aftermarket tanks. Cant comment on how it will hold up but its aluminum so I cant see it breaking.

Comments On Apr 26, 2010:Picked up a couple of these for Clarke tanks. I was expecting them to be heavier than plastic, but wow, not this heavy. They leave about 1/4 of the threads showing on the tank - so only 4*'s from me. The Caps themselves are high quality, and come with one-way vent. RM did tell me to glue the vent tube - prone to falling off.

3700 W Flamingo Rd Ste 4, Las Vegas, NV | Directions 8910336.118699 -115.186442
Mon-Sun: 9am-6:30pm
Neighborhoods: Paradise
Went there about a month ago to celebrate a friend's birthday. She didn't want to go on the main strip, because it would be crowded for her. I had read reviews on this place, and got excited. It sounded fun enough, without being too sleezy crazy.
We went on a Saturday, and on their website, it says that they open at nine.
We got there, and their sign said that they opened at 10.
The bouncer assured me that they opened at nine.... We boarded the elevator at 915.
The elevator ride was...awesome. The elevation of this club is amazing, so sad that is being wasted by this place. They don't even have a full bar up there..... I asked for a mojito, and the bartender...very rudely told me that he couldn't make me one....
So, I ordered a very disgusting, and very expensive margarita..
The crowd.... is older.... I mean, grandparents older. We got there, and there were maybe ten other people out on the balcony.... smoking. There was NO DJ. They were playing some repetitive beat that was terrible.
We stayed for about an hour, hoping things would turn around, but they didn't.
No luck here.
Nice place!!! Food good, service good. They were very friendly and happy to have locals and show them a good time.
Great... but miss the old style – I visited The Voodoo Steak and Lounge over Memorial Day weekend for the first time since the place changed formats. The restaurant was once more of a general New Orleans-style fine dining experience, but they've rebranded themselves a steakhouse... and even though Vegas is clearly not in desperate need of a new steakhouse, it's a very good one, with a funky style, interesting spices on the meats and amazing views of the Vegas skyline.
I will say I miss the former inception of the restaurant, mostly because they had a Chicken Bourbon (which they called Chicken-Some-Street-in-New-Orleans) that was ridiculously good. But they still serve the Witch Doctor, a massive and rum-heavy drink complete with smoking dry ice, so the restaurant is still very much worth a visit. Don't forget to grab a drink in the lounge just above the restaurant, where you can listen to some great tunes while enjoying that breathtaking view.
Voodoo Lounge is yet another Awesome View of Vegas – VooDoo is located 51 stories up at the Rio hotel, which lends itself to some of the best Strip views in Vegas. Then there's also the enormous 40,000-pound staircase that had to be air-lifted to the top of the hotel, which gives you two floors of partying.

NO BAD VOODOO HERE!! – Do You love stylish places? then Voodoo is a place to see from dancing to eating they have it all. dont miss a lavish, elgeant, clubs that will keep you on your feet. Bring your camaras and video cams and record and take picture like its no tommorow. for more great location in the valley visit ICUVEGAS. dont know? google it?..
Get the Voodoo Feel – The Voodoo Lounge is a stylish designed bar with lots of atmosphere and vibe.
I cannot tell you if there is any voodoo but this one definitely has the "mojo".
Drinks are fantastic, its expensive even for Las Vegas but I think its worth it.
Has anyone ever gone to Las Vegas to safe money? ;-)
Great View – We went to Voodoo Lounge on the first stop of a 3-club tour with www.vegashotspots. com. We got there just as it opened and opted not to get a VIP table but the host from the website got us a couple of rounds of drinks for free. Because it was early and it wasn't too crowded we were able to talk to a group of girls who eventually met us later on at Jet. The best part about this club was the view. We were able to get some great photos of the Strip as it lighted up the Las Vegas sky.
Overall, it's a pretty cool place with a great view. Definitely a cool place to start off the night.
Soled out Wednesdays ROCK!!!! – Soled Out Wednesdays ol School Hip-Hop Night, is by far my favorite night of the week to go out in Las Vegas! I dont have to get all fancy, I can wear my Baseball hat and Sneakers and not be sweated by the door men! They have had some of the best DJs and Live performers! Even Saw a few live bands down on the patio!!!
Every Wednesday @ the VooDoo on the Patio! you will see me there!!
Thieves!! Run.. don't walk away! – Closed my tab for 35 buck and some change.. no problem. Until the more than $500.00 charge showed up on my credit card too! The Rio's accounting department gave both me and the bank the run-around for 3 months and then submit a forged payment slip. Similar things have happened to at least 3 other locals that I have spoken to.. all at the VooDoo Lounge. I'm getting ready to file charges with the police and the State Attorney General.
Save your self... run away!
Again great view, but not wroth it! – I bought front of the line passes and open bar tickets to the Voodoo Lounge for $100.00/ person from Vegas dot com . It says that you get premium alcohol like Sky Vodka, Jack Daniels, and Crown Royal, but you dont. You get cheap $10 b.s.! There is no seating, unless you are VIP which cost $400 and up. The inside is really small and out side is nice, but when it 110 degress thats not very fun. The music was good but the bartenders were not very nice. Like everything else I experienced in Vegas, the Voodoo lounge is only fun if you are wealthy and can afford to spend and loose $1,000 a night. So if you have that kind of money go for it. If not, your better off buying your own bottle and walking about with it.

Beautiful Me says it all about the brand of holistic skin care that Tracy Fleming offers in her salon. Holistic skin care takes the concepts of well-being beyond the surface of the skin: balancing the mind, body and spirit creates a sense of wellness that is reflected in healthy skin.
Tracy distinguishes herself from other skin care practitioners by using a holistic approach to skin care. She looks at the whole person including lifestyle choices, health history, nutrition, personal stress factors and spiritual self care. She elicits from her clients a dialogue about their concerns and provides wellness counseling to help them enhance their overall health.
An individually-tailored treatment is the result of how Tracy designs her approach to skin care for each client: to improve the skin from both the inside out and the outside in, dealing with the source of skin problems --- including aging skin --- so that healthy skin is the final product.
Tracy holds an Esthetician License from Vogue Beauty College in Austin, Texas, and is also licensed in Maui, Hawaii with specialization in organic products based on the sea vegetables of the islands. She trained with a practitioner who has been in the skin care business for over 25 years, and has more than nine years of hands-on experience of her own.
She is certified in all versions of skin resurfacing including laser services, chemical peels and microdermabrasions as well as laser hair removal.

Magnolia Pictures
At the beginning of Dupieux's last movie, "Rubber," there's a long, hilarious monologue about how there's fundamentally "no reason" for anything. And if there's a central organizing philosophy behind Dupieux's strange, surreal movies, it's that. Palm trees turn into pine trees. Dog turds have memories. Abandoned tires murder people. Why? No reason.
Quentin Dupieux (Vivien Killilea/Getty Images)
Jonathan Crow: This movie and "Rubber" are really hard movies to think of questions about because it's sort of like taking apart somebody else's dream.
Quentin Dupieux: Yes, I'm glad you said that because that's exactly the point.
JC: It could make you feel like you're in a dream?
QD: Yeah, it works like a dream. Well, you know that's where almost everything is possible. When you can jump from one thing to another, and one character dies and then he is alive again. That's exactly like how a dream works.
[Related: Indie Roundup: 'Room 237′ – Kubrick's 'The Shining' is a Much Weirder Movie Than You Might Think]
JC: At the beginning of "Rubber" you have this hilarious monologue where you have this guy talking about how things happen for "no reason." Is this movie a continuation of your "no reason" philosophy, or is this a departure, or is it both?
QD: No. It's basically the same. I could have used this same monologue at the start of "Wrong." Basically, I would love to put that monologue at the start of all of my movies because it makes sense all the time. I do think that life is absurd and it's full of "no reason" every day. I just love that monologue because it's a very good summation of my movies.
JC: I'm assuming you're not expecting to get a whole lot of calls from Hollywood.
QD: I honestly think that most movies are too logical compared to life. I don't know how to explain this, but I'm sure you understand. I'm just trying to make movies that are more like real life, basically.
JC: More like real life?
QD: Yeah -- for example, "Wrong." It's a dream. But when you see a dream in a movie, it looks like something written for the movies. I don't know if you follow me.
JC: Yeah, it feels scripted --
QD: I think the best way to see "Wrong" is to see it like a dream, but not like a movie dream -- more like a real dream. Time is weird, and we think we understand time because we have watches, but we don't. Time doesn't exist. If you look closer, life is really crazy and a little scary sometimes because we don't understand everything. We don't understand a lot of stuff. I'm just trying to make my movies, thinking about all of this stuff. I don't know if it makes sense; my English sucks.
JC: It sounds to me like you're reacting against a lot of the cliché, the way that Hollywood writes scripts --
QD: No. Not really. I know my movies are for a small audience. When I watch a movie on a Sunday night, I just want the regular mainstream thing. I'm just like everyone. I'm just trying to offer something different. I'm not a good writer. I'm just trying to find my own voice. I think there's a lot of space, actually, to create different movies because a lot of movies are a little bit the same these days. I'm just trying to open a small door of freedom to suggest a new experience.
JC: Can you tell me about your process of writing scripts?
QD: Yeah, I mean, it's hard to describe it. I was just trying to write stuff that comes from my body more than from my brain. I try to get a good feeling instead of finding clever ideas. It's just like, when you're writing, something comes and you know it's good or not. It's super hard to describe it. We have no rules. Sometimes I'm super busy writing for 10 hours a day, super focused, and sometimes I just go to sleep to let my brain go and find ideas.
JC: My favorite character in this film is Master Chang; can you tell me about him? And why you've cast a rather unlikely choice of William Fichtner to play him? And also, what's with that accent?
QD: We knew we needed someone strong for this character. So we started looking at some names, and Fichtner's name came up. I don't know, I just saw a photo of him and I knew he was the guy. But Bill came up with the idea of this weird accent. I don't know where he found it, but he just came to the first meeting and he told me, "OK, I'm going to read you the scene with an accent, and you're going to tell me if you like it." And he just read a piece of the script with this weird German/Indian/whatever accent, and then he said, "OK, you like it? Because if you don't like it, I have nothing else." I loved it because he was, like, bringing his piece to the movie.
JC: From what I understand, you're not a dog owner, but "Wrong" really does sort of tap into very deep emotions that dog people have. Why did you tap into this world?
QD: Let's say it was just a twisted way of talking about love without really using the love thing between human beings.

"List price" is the suggested retail price provided to us by our vendors. We make no representation that a substantial number of these products have been sold or offered for sale at the list price. Actual retail prices in your area may be substantially different. Since we sell products on a national basis, it is not possible to know if our merchandise is sold at list price in any particular location or at any particular time. "You Save" reflects the difference between our price and the vendor provided list price shown on our sites. Since the list price may be different than the actual retail prices in your area, you may not actually realize a savings of this amount.
Manufacturers sometimes ask that retailers not display a price if it drops below a certain amount. The "Click here to see Lowest Price" message indicates that the price of the item is so low that the manufacturer requested that it not be advertised (that is, displayed). In a brick-and-mortar store, you would probably have to ask a salesperson what the price of the product is. At eCOST, by clicking on "Click here to see Lowest Price" you are essentially asking to see the price, at which point we show it to you.

AUSTIN, Texas -- The Texas Women's Basketball team defeated Texas A&M-Corpus Christi, 79-30, in the sixth ever meeting between the schools. With the win, the Longhorns improved to a perfect 6-0 in the series and begin the season 5-0 for the first time since 2008-09.
Sophomore forward Nneka Enemkpali registered her fifth straight double-double with 11 points and 18 rebounds to tie Tiffany Jackson's 2006 school record. She also posted a career-high four assists.
Freshman center Imani McGee-Stafford, who earned her second double-double this season, tallied a career-high 11 rebounds, as well as a career-high 20 total points, which was the most from any Longhorn in today's outing.
Senior post Cokie Reed and junior guard Chelsea Bass also reached double figures for the Longhorns. Reed, who put away a season-high 16 total points in the game, hit her previous season-high of 14 by the end of the first half. Bass appeared in the first game of her junior season and scored 11 points in only eight minutes on the floor.
The Horns' first half defense was smothering and the Islanders did not score their first field goal until the 11:18 mark of the first half. TAMU-CC's nine total first half points (3-of-31, .097) tied the UT school record for fewest points allowed in a half by an opponent, a feat that has been accomplished twice by the Longhorns, most recently in the second half against Texas State on Dec. 3, 2003.
TAMU-Corpus Christi's 30 total points in the game were the fewest allowed by a Longhorn squad since Nov. 30, 2006 against Southern University.
The Longhorns outrebounded the Islanders 58-35 and dominated points in the paint 46-8. The Horns did not allow any TAMU-CC second-chance or fast-break points.
Janae Blount played all 40 minutes and led the Islanders with 14 points, seven rebounds and four steals.

MMS Not sending WETHER OR NOT WiFi is on???? Please Help!
Hi All!
I really hope you can help me on this issue. I received two phones from my boss as a replacement for my old phone that was a P.O.S. Her sons owned the phones previously. (sorry for the details LOL!) so when I received the phone I did a factory reset at that time.
So here we are about 10 days later and I have not been able to MMS from only one of the phones.
I turned off Wifi and nothing. Soft wire reset, nothing, WiFi on Nothing,

Gabi Gregg of Young, Fat, & Fabulous
What comes to mind when you hear the word 'fat'? Do you think of Nutrition Facts labels and the first column you look at before deciding whether to buy the crackers? Or maybe you think of elementary school, when the best insult little boys could come up with for girls was "well… you're fat!" (Good for you, little boys. You're… dumb.)
Well, I don't think of anything – or I try not to. To my editor's dismay, I generally refuse to use the word, except when referring to this blog post. ("What are you working on right now?" "The 'Fear of Fat' blog post… Social networking…" "Hey, you said it! You said 'fat'!") She thinks "fat" should be used as an adjective, just like "thin," or "tall," or "short." It shouldn't be a negative thing – not if it's true. I have a hard time agreeing with her. Nobody wants to be called "fat," is my rebuttal.
But why not?
It's not that I have memories of being called "fat" as a kid. In fact, despite being technically – or pretty close to – a "plus-size" (even though I refuse to buy plus-sized clothing, but that's just a whole other story) for most of my life, I don't ever remember being described that way. I still have friends who call themselves fat to get others to argue that they aren't – something else I refuse to do. Be warned: if you call yourself fat, I'll probably just agree with you, even if you're a size 4. Because, what's fat, anyway?
A few weeks ago, I stumbled across Gabi Gregg's blog, Young, Fat, & Fabulous. "She's almost the same size as me," I thought. And she is. And she calls herself fat without cringing. And she doesn't feel bad about it.
Can you tell me what you think of the word "fat"?
I think the word fat is unfortunately extremely stigmatized in our society, and that needs to change. Just because someone is fat does not mean that they're lazy, unhealthy, unworthy, ugly, sloppy, or any of the other things that many people unfortunately associate with the word.
The word seems to have several negative connotations – many people I've talked to have said this is because "nobody wants to be called fat." Why do you think that is?
We grow up in a society that tells us that being fat is a bad thing. We are constantly inundated with messages and images that portray thinness as the ideal and fatness as this "evil" thing to avoid at all costs. That's why many people don't want to be called fat, even when they are fat. It's understandable because of what we are taught, yet that does not mean it's okay. People should reevaluate the word! Being fat is simply a description of someone's body type.
What do you think of the common association of "fat" with poor health?
I think that there are healthy fat people and unhealthy fat people, just like there are healthy skinny people and unhealthy skinny people. I don't think anyone is arguing that it's good to sit around all day and eat ice cream for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. However, it's important not to assume anything about anyone's health based solely on their weight. A size 16 woman might well be healthier than a size 6 woman. It depends, and it's important to realize that other people's bodies and health are not anyone's business but their own.
My editor thinks that the word should be used as a descriptor, just like you would call someone thin. Nobody would get mad at you for calling them thin, but some people would definitely be offended if you called them fat. What do you think about that?
I agree 100%. It would be nice if the word fat could be de-stigmatized and used simply as a way to describe people. That is how I use it.
With your blog, you refer to yourself and other plus-sized girls as fat. Clearly you are working to change the meanings or associations the word possesses. Why do you think it's important to embrace the word "fat"?
I think that giving other people power over the word does no good. Once fat people embrace the word "fat" and stop fearing it, they don't have to walk around wondering if other people think they are fat or not, or be afraid someone will use the word against them. When someone calls me fat now, I just nod. It's not an insult to me. I use the word in my blog, because too often fat people are thought to be ugly and unfashionable. I wanted to juxtapose the word fat with fabulous and show people that it's possible to be stylish at any size.

The Ouija board, in fact, came straight out of the American 19th century obsession with spiritualism, the belief that the dead are able to communicate with the living. Spiritualism, which had been around for years in Europe, hit America hard in 1848 with the sudden prominence of the Fox sisters of upstate New York; the Foxes claimed to receive messages from spirits who rapped on the walls in answer to questions, recreating this feat of channeling in parlors across the state. Aided by the stories about the celebrity sisters and other spiritualists in the new national press, spiritualism reached millions of adherents at its peak in the second half of the 19th century. Spiritualism worked for Americans: it was compatible with Christian dogma, meaning one could hold a séance on Saturday night and have no qualms about going to church the next day. It was an acceptable, even wholesome activity to contact spirits at séances, through automatic writing, or table turning parties, in which participants would place their hands on a small table and watch it begin shake and rattle, while they all declared that they weren't moving it.
The turning point for the device was in 1973:
In that year, The Exorcist scared the pants off people in theaters, with all that pea soup and head-spinning and supposedly based on a true story business; and the implication that 12-year-old Regan was possessed by a demon after playing with a Ouija board by herself changed how people saw the board. "It's kind of like Psycho—no one was afraid showers until that scene… It's a clear line," says [historian Robert] Murch, explaining that before The Exorcist, film and TV depictions of the Ouija board were usually jokey, hokey, and silly—"I Love Lucy," for example, featured a 1951 episode in which Lucy and Ethel host a séance using the Ouija board. "But for at least 10 years afterwards, it's no joke… [The Exorcist] actually changed the fabric of pop culture."

Indianapolis Colts TE Weslye Saunders has been suspended for the first eight games of the 2013 season for a second violation of the NFL's policy performance-enhancing substances. He was suspended last year for four games for violating the PED policy as well. He's eligible to participate in training camp and the preseason. After the team's final exhibition game, he will be barred from team facilities until Nov. 4.
Huddle Up: Saunders, a 2011 undrafted free agent from South Carolina, was suspended for the first 4 games of the 2012 season for a positive PED test attributed to Addrerall, according to a Yahoo! Sports report, leading to his release from the Steelers. He was then signed by the Colts, and he has only 6 career receptions for 44 yards and 1 TD in 25 career games. He was, however, projected as a No. 3 TE at best in Indy behind second-year standouts Coby Fleener and Dwayne Allen, so fantasy GMs won't be missing much if anything.

Sponsored in memory of and named after Marco Lazzinaro. This adoption was funded by Marco�s family, Michael Sheginario, Beth Halem (coordinator) and the students and staff at Great Neck South High School, Great Neck, New York, USA Marco loved great white sharks, and he and I had been taking a marine biology class (instead of chemistry), and we were lab partners, so I became friendly with him this year. When we were doing our shark unit in marine biology, his love and interest for great white sharks developed even more, since he was learning new things about them that he never learned before. He had turned to me one day while we were watching a movie on marine biologists learning about sharks while in shark cages, and he said to me, " before i die, my dream is to swim with a great white shark, or go in one of those shark cages." A few weeks after, he had died in that car crash, and I felt like I needed to do something for him, that related to a great white shark since he loved them so much. - Beth Halem "Marco" is an extremely curious shark, and at 4m long is a large mature male. When visiting our expedition vessel at the Neptune Islands he often gives spectacular displays to surface viewers and also our divers by putting his head out of the water and approaching the cages at very close quarters. Marco is normally particularly active around the surface cages and baits and when present will often keep all other sharks at bay, exerting his dominance
